Chapter 88: Return to Yanmen
However, this was a sword that was charged with power and was also a fatal sword. After the sword was drawn, the Taoist elder no longer had the strength and internal energy to rush out with the crowd, and his figure was submerged in the weapons.
The remaining people could only rush out of the camp by taking advantage of the path opened by the Taoist elder's sudden sword strike. When they looked back, they could no longer see the white-haired immortal.
"We can't stop!" Yi Qiu spoke silently as he looked at the only remaining Jin Yao, the Five Elements Archer, and the Chi You Hall Master. There were eleven people here, and now there are only four of them left.
The four men were in heavy moods and did not speak. They rode their horses forward, galloping all the way towards Yanmen Pass, while behind them were a large number of barbarian pursuers.
From the time the decapitation operation began at dawn to their retreat, it was already noon, but the pursuers did not stop and continued to hunt the four people relentlessly.
"You guys go! I would rather die than let them go!" The Confucian master Yi Qiu smiled elegantly, turned his horse around, and scattered countless chess pieces.
"What a pity, there is not enough time to let the world see the power of my Confucian chess!" Yi Qiu sighed and shook his head, then walked into the temporary formation with the scriptures in his hand.
The mountain wind and fog were instantly aroused and poured into the road, blocking the entire road.
"Let's go! Master, at the cost of his own life, forcibly broke through the realm, stepped into the Grandmaster realm, and attracted the energy of heaven and earth!" The head of the Chiyou Hall looked back and returned the salute respectfully.
The Hundred Schools of Thought often looked down on the Confucianists, who were full of literary fuss, and felt that they were too formal, too flowery, not straightforward enough, and not strong enough...
But at this moment, Yi Qiu refreshed their views on Confucianism. Confucianism also has strong and domineering scholars!
"Do you think you can stop us by forcing your way through?" The Barbarian Grandmaster broke into the mist formation left by Yi Qiu and shouted angrily.
"Give me ten years, and I will kill you like killing a dog!" In the mist, Yi Qiu still spoke with contempt in the Confucian tone.
The Barbarian Grandmaster did not refute. With the talent and strength displayed by this person, he would definitely reach the Grandmaster level within ten years.
Similarly, as a great Confucian scholar, he must be well-versed in martial arts and martial arts manuals, and by then, he might really be able to kill himself.
"Too bad you don't have ten years!" The Barbarian Grand Master sneered.
Although they don't speak the same language, at the Grandmaster level, they can sense what the other person wants to express from the tone of voice.
"If it's less than ten years, I will take you to death with me!" Yi Qiu walked up to the barbarian master and smiled.
The barbarian grandmaster struck Yi Qiu with his palm when he saw him, but unfortunately, his palm hit the air and it was just a phantom.
"Do you know why Mohism and Confucianism are known as the two most prominent schools of thought in the world?" Yi Qiu's voice echoed in all directions, as if he was educating his students.
"Oh, I forgot that you barbarians don't read." Yi Qiu mocked, and then laughed at himself, "I didn't expect that my last students would be a group of barbarians! Forget it, the master said that there is no distinction between the classes in education."
"Then I will tell you barbarians what is the most famous knowledge in the world!"
Yi Qiu himself appeared in front of the Barbarian Master again.
This time, the Barbarian Grandmaster confirmed that this was a real body with flesh and blood , so he attacked with all his strength, and the golden sword burst out with endless sword light, revealing Yi Qiu.
However, what made him furious was that his sword seemed to be cutting in endless time. His hair gradually turned gray, then completely white, and finally became sparse and fell off. His hands also became wrinkled, and gradually became withered, turning into white bones, and the skin and bones fell off.
When the wind blew, the whole earth turned into yellow sand flying on the grassland.
"Mohism is the universe, Confucianism is the universe, and they are the famous schools of thought!" Yi Qiu's last voice echoed over the grassland.
Similarly, the soldiers who stepped onto the chessboard, the barbarian grandmaster, and Yi Qiu were no longer there, leaving only flying yellow sand.
The barbarian soldiers and generals were all terrified. Even though the chessboard formation was gone, they stopped in their tracks, not daring to cross the yellow sand one step further. They watched Jin Yao and the other two disappear from their sight.
The towering Yanmen Pass appeared in front of Jin Yao and the other two, but the city gate was closed. Arrows were pointed at the three of them, but were not fired.
"Jin Yao, the chief debater of Mohist school, Tian Long, the head of Chiyou Hall of Nong family, and Meng Qing, the elder of Five Elements family, request to enter the pass!" At Yanmen Pass, Tian Long, the head of Chiyou Hall who was the least injured but also lost his left arm, shouted towards the pass.
"Huh?" The defending general listened to the shouts from below the city, then looked down at the three people, and then looked at the dark army that was surrounding them from all sides, but he did not dare to order the city gate to be opened.
"Gentlemen, are you still able to climb up to the city?" The guard hesitated for only a moment, then decisively roared in response.
Tian Long glanced at Jin Yao who was almost unconscious, and then looked at Meng Qing, the Five Elements sharpshooter who was unable to pull the bow because his arms and sleeves were stained with blood due to torn muscles from continuous drawing of the bow. Then he shook his head helplessly.
If they were in their best form, they could have climbed up using the ropes lowered from the city gate, but now, they were all exhausted and had no strength left.
Even the moat that they could normally cross easily, now they didn't have the strength to jump over it.
"Let me drop the rope!" The general defending the city looked at the approaching barbarian army, gritted his teeth, and ordered the soldiers to drop the rope.
"General!" the soldier hesitated.
"Stop talking nonsense!" the general scolded, grabbed the rope and threw it down the city wall, then grabbed the rope with his backhand, slid down the city wall, and quickly ran towards Tian Long and the other two. He jumped over the moat and landed in front of the three people.
"Let's go!" The general defending the city grabbed Jin Yao from his horse, turned over again and flew across the moat, then tied a rope to Jin Yao and asked the soldiers on the city wall to bring Jin Yao up. He then turned around and jumped over the moat again, carrying the elder of the Five Elements Family across the moat.
Finally, it was Tian Long, and this was also what Tian Long requested.
However, when the defending general was carrying Tian Long across the river, an arrow shot straight at the two of them.
"Hmm~" Tian Long groaned, but did not speak.
"What happened?" The general defending the city did not see the flying arrow, but he could hear the sound of the arrow breaking through the air.
"It's okay!" Tian Long said calmly.
The general defending the city felt a hot yet cold liquid flowing in his armor, but unfortunately he was crossing the river and could not stop to check.
It was not until they arrived at the foot of the city wall that they saw that the arrow had pierced Tian Long's back, and the blood that flowed into his armor was the blood that flowed from the corner of Tian Long's mouth as he spoke.
"Go up!" The general defending the city tied a rope to Tian Long, then grabbed the rope and was pulled up to the tall city wall along with Tian Long.
However, the archer's arrow flew again, trying to cut the rope.
"Did you think there was no one at Yanmen Pass?" The sharpshooters at the pass were furious and shot arrows at Tian Long. They failed to block them. Now the arrows were right in front of them. If they let someone shoot the ropes off, how would they still have the face to stand on the city wall?
Then, arrows one after another covered the pursuing army, and three arrows together shot down the arrow that the archer intended to shoot to cut the rope.
