Chapter 212: Wu the Dharma Protector
Xiao Wenyi held a spear in his hand and took the lead. The spear shot out like a dragon, emitting cold light all over the sky. Every time the spear fell, it could hit a zombie, and then the force burst out, and the zombie that was stabbed would explode.
Lu Jianhui and Xiao Anzheng who followed closely behind were both veteran Huajin martial artists. They were still strong as ever, and the power was released from the weapons in their hands. Although they did not look as mighty and imposing as Liu Xiaoqiang and Bao Yingjun when they killed the enemies, they were more casual and at ease.
After these three people were the Xiao family’s elite Green Armor Guards and the Lu family’s elite Fire Armor Guards.
As they charged forward, they were like an angry dragon in the sea, rolling forward and no one could stop them.
On the city wall of Chenglin County, several soldiers in armor and holding swords surrounded two men, overlooking the battlefield below.
There were two men. One had white hair and beard, broad shoulders and a thick neck. He looked very powerful. He was Yu Hongshan, the former prefect of Fangliao County.
The other one was a tall and thin old man with many age spots on his face. He exuded a cold aura and looked at people with a pair of cold and ruthless eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person. People were intimidated and dared not approach him.
"How did Xiao Wenyi suddenly become a bone refining master? And that man, not only young but also unfamiliar, is also a bone refining master. Behind him followed two young men, both fierce and brave, and their strength is definitely not inferior to that of a transformation master , not to mention that Xiao Qing has not yet made a move.
How come so many strong people suddenly appeared in Fangqiao County? Could it be that they already knew that Wu Hufa was secretly practicing here..." Yu Hongshan frowned.
"If they knew that Protector Wu was here, they probably wouldn't have sent only these people here. But if they continue to charge at us like this, our army will be defeated sooner or later. Chenglin County is different from the county cities in that it is tall and solid. Once our army is defeated, it will definitely not be able to withstand their attack. Once they break through the county city, it will be difficult for that secret place not to be known." The tall and thin old man said expressionlessly.
"How about asking Protector Wu for help?" A young man with an imposing appearance who was standing behind the two men stepped forward slightly and spoke.
This young man was none other than the outstanding descendant of the three generations of the Yu family, and one of the six greatest young masters of Fangliao County, Yu Xingjian.
"Xingjian, if Wu Hufa could have taken action, he would have done so long ago. This is not Nanding Prefecture, and our forces are still very weak. The reason why we were able to hold out against the Fangqiao County garrison for so long is because the Xiyun Prefecture capital did not really pay attention to us and did not want to escalate the situation and mobilize a large number of troops, so they just gave the task of suppressing the rebellion to Pang Qiwei.
This is exactly what Wu Hufa wanted, so the two armies were in a stalemate. But once Wu Hufa took action, it would definitely attract the attention of Xiyunzhou City, and they would definitely send strong men to come, and Chenglin County and the secret place here would be lost. "Yu Hongshan replied.
“But if Protector Wu doesn’t take action, Chenglin County and the secret place will be lost soon! The result will be the same anyway, so we might as well ask Protector Wu to take action and kill them all!” said Yu Xingjian.
"Xingjian, it's not your turn to say these things!" Yu Hongshan's face suddenly darkened. He scolded Yu Xingjian, then turned to the tall and thin old man and said, "Master Wang, it seems that Chenglin County cannot be defended. Why don't we notify Wu Hufa to withdraw the troops ?"
"I think what Xingjian said makes sense. Anyway, the secret of Chenglin County and Xinjin Yinsha can no longer be kept. Why not just kill them all!" The one who answered Yu Hongshan was not the tall and thin old man called Master Wang, but a man with pockmarks all over his face and a tumor in the middle of his forehead. He looked as hideous and terrifying as a horned monster.
The man's face was extremely pale, his expression was stiff, and he exuded an extremely cold aura, as if he had just crawled out of a coffin.
Behind the man stood a silver corpse with a human face, a leopard body and wings, and its entire body covered with silver scales.
The aura of this silver corpse is very powerful, not inferior to the four heads at all, and there are a few sporadic flashes of golden light on its silver scales.
"Greetings, Dharma Protector Wu!" Hall Master Wang and others hurriedly bowed and clasped their fists.
Protector Wu walked to the edge of the protective wall with an expressionless face, and looked down. He saw that the battle situation had become one-sided, and the enemy's central army had not yet moved out.
Protector Wu's cold eyes quickly fell on Xiao Qing.
"That woman should be Xiao Qing, who killed Pang Qiwei and took his place three months ago, right?" asked Protector Wu, with a cold and bloodthirsty look in his eyes.
"To reply to the protector, it is this girl. It is said that her real fighting power is comparable to that of a great martial artist in the middle stage of bone refining." Yu Hongshan replied, with a glimmer of envy in his eyes.
If his Yu family also had such an outstanding descendant, they would not have ended up like this today.
"He has such a high level of cultivation at such a young age. He is truly a genius. Lord Yu, have you checked? Is there any sect or power behind Xiao Qing?" asked Protector Wu.
"Probably not. The only power behind the Xiao family is the Cui family in Qinghe County." Yu Hongshan thought for a moment and replied.
"The Cui family is just a declining family. Cui Baiming is the only one in the family who still has some strength and can fight with me. Unfortunately, he is already old and probably won't live for many years." Upon hearing this, Protector Wu showed a trace of disdain on his face.
"Protector Wu wants to kill this woman?" Hall Master Wang asked with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"This woman has ruined my good deeds, so she should compensate me with her life. It just so happens that my Silver Leopard Corpse hasn't sucked the blood of a female bone-refining master for a long time!" Protector Wu said coldly, licking his pale lips with his bright red tongue.
"Protector Wu, although Xiao Qing has no sect leader to back her up, even if you kill her, you won't get into trouble. But Xiao Qing is a bit weird. Not only did she become a bone refining master at a young age, she killed Pang Qiwei and replaced him, and in just three months, she has two bone refining masters around her.
This is also within the boundaries of Xiyunzhou. The Sitianjian has a special communication method to transmit messages. Wu Protector's identity is extraordinary, so you should be cautious and not expose yourself. What if there is a bone refining master hidden by Xiao Qing's side, and once he entangles you..." After hearing this, Master Wang hesitated and bowed slightly to dissuade him.
"If it were in the past, this Dharma Protector would really have some concerns, but now Ying Bao's Silver Corpse has become much stronger. How can these up-and-coming people hold this Dharma Protector back?" Dharma Protector Wu smiled coldly, then jumped onto Ying Bao's back and shook the bell in his hand.
Ying Bao spread his wings, flapped them, stirred up gusts of cold wind, and swooped down downwards with a roar.
"That's... Wu Dong, damn it, why is he here?" Seeing Protector Wu riding on the silver corpse of Yingbao and flying towards him, stirring up a huge dark wind that made the whole world gloomy, Jin Yichen's pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly, and his face changed drastically.
"Wudong?"
"He is one of the six guardians of the Corpse Demon Sect's Nandingzhou branch, and he has cultivated a high-level silver corpse leopard. Logically, he should not be here! Lord Xiao, please try to detain him as much as you can, and I will notify the judge immediately. He will immediately dispatch the Qinghe County officials and nearby inspectors to come and kill this demon." Jin Yichen said hurriedly as he took out a token from his arms that had an unknown beast and the word "Ling" engraved on it.
This token is exactly the Guan Gou Token of the Guan Gou Mansion. Once blood is dripped into the unknown beast, it can be activated and connected to the Magistrate's Mansion in the provincial capital.
"No need. Your uncle Qin and I are more than capable of killing him together. Yu Hongshan has led his troops out of the city gate. The central army will be commanded by Xia Yan, and Lord Jin can just help out." Xiao Qing gave the order calmly, then, holding the Green Dragon Spear in his hand, he clamped the belly of the Clouded Leopard Horse and charged towards the swooping Wu Dong.
Jin Yichen watched Xiao Qing ride away on her horse, and the words she said before she left echoed in his ears, like the rumbling of thunder.
He had long known that Xiao Qing and his Uncle Qin were both very powerful people, but he had never dared to imagine that the two of them could work together to kill a corpse refiner who could control a high-level silver corpse.
However, Jin Yichen quickly came to his senses and looked towards the city gate with eyes as sharp as swords.
At this time, the city gate was rumbling open, and Yu Hongshan led an army of 500 people out of the city.
On the side of Yu Hongshan, there was a tall and thin old man holding a bell in his hand. In front of him was a humanoid silver corpse with a cold silver light all over its body, moving forward with him.
"Master Jin, please help watch over us and provide assistance wherever there is a need." Xia Yan said in a deep voice. Her originally charming face now became particularly fierce.
"Yes!" Jin Yichen replied solemnly.
"Shi Hu, Shi Long, pass the order, order Zheng Xinghan and Xiao Wenyi to return to the central army to meet me." Xia Yan gave another order immediately afterwards.
"Yes!" Shi Hu and Shi Long received the order, roared, and then waved the command flags.
Soon, Zheng Xinghan and Xiao Wenyi handed over the left and right armies to their generals respectively, and each rode back to join the central army.
"Kill!" Seeing the two Bone Refining generals turning back, Xia Yan pointed her spear at Yu Hongshan's army, and immediately the central army rushed out like a rolling torrent.
Soon, the two armies collided with each other like two torrents on the vast land. In an instant, people and horses were thrown to the ground, and heads rolled to the ground.
Zheng Xinghan blocked Yu Hongshan, and Xiao Wenyi blocked the low-level silver corpse driven by Master Wang.
Under the protection of the two brothers Shilong and Shihu, Xia Yan's spear moved like a green dragon, bringing up cold light all over the sky. Every bit of cold light killed one person. In a blink of an eye, the surrounding area was filled with corpses and there was no one left.
Yu Xingjian, Yu Hongshan's most proud grandson, saw that Xia Yan was unstoppable and wanted to rush to resist him. However, before he got close, a golden light like a rainbow rose from Jin Yichen's body into the sky and fell towards him.
Seeing this, Yu Xingjian quickly swung his sword and killed the flying sword.
The golden sword was as fast as lightning and as nimble as a snake. It brushed past Yu Xingjian's sword and reached Yu Xingjian's chest in the blink of an eye.
Yu Xingjian's powerful force surged out, trying to protect his chest, but the golden sword went straight through.
Yu Xingjian fell off his horse and died.
"True Yuan Realm! Jin Yichen, you have become a great Qi Refining Master!" When Yu Hongshan saw his grandson being killed, he felt more shocked than sad.
Originally, he and Hall Master Wang led the army out in order to delay the enemy so that Wu Dong could concentrate on killing Xiao Qing as soon as possible, so as to prevent him from being entangled by the army and causing unnecessary trouble.
As a result, Yu Hongshan was shocked to discover that Jin Yichen, who went with the army, was actually a great Qi Refiner at the Zhenyuan realm.
