Volume 1: Crossing Chapter 41: Confrontation
Ahead was a swarm of insects like a dark cloud covering the moon. For some reason, they were no longer afraid of the poisonous insects. It seemed that rather than being afraid, they wanted the nectar in the cloth ball more!
Behind him was the invincible Zongtian patrol envoy Tu Yunsheng, plus a group of fierce and wolf-like city guards.
Over the years, terrified looks had only appeared in the eyes of the people opposite them, and this was the first time it appeared in the eyes of the bandits.
"Don't be afraid, fight them!"
"Yeah, let's fight!"
"Blindfold your mount and follow me!"
"Be careful of the hawks and dogs ahead, don't get close to them. Use your bows and crossbows to entangle this man, and don't give him a chance to fight back!"
Some key figures among the bandits stood up, and even Lao Wu appeared again to command the bandits.
Suddenly, some people drew their swords and rushed down the mountain to kill others, while others rode wild beasts and rushed down the mountain.
When someone takes the lead, others will follow. In a blink of an eye, Tu Yunsheng, who was at the front, was faced with waves of arrows raining down on him. He could only use his black feathers to block them and could no longer rush into the crowd.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, groups of bandits bypassed him and attacked the officers and soldiers.
The two gangs were fighting fiercely on the mountain road. There was a steady stream of reinforcements behind both sides. The situation quickly escalated from dozens of people to hundreds of people, with shouts of killing deafening.
The bandits were fighting a desperate battle with no way to retreat. Once they fought to the death, all their years of ferocious savagery were aroused. They were standing on top, and dozens of ferocious beasts rolled down the hillside like huge millstones. Even Tu Yunsheng could not bear to face their power.
The officers and soldiers were scattered in an instant, and then they were overwhelmed by the group of bandits who rushed down!
The situation was about to be reversed, when suddenly, several people rushed down from the top of the mountain behind the bandits. Although there were only five of them, each of them was a master, and they rushed into the bandits' group like tigers into a flock of sheep, ruthlessly reaping their lives.
However, the bandits did not retreat, and more and more of them chose to fight back.
The crazy behavior of the bandits frightened the officers and soldiers, and many of them wanted to retreat.
"Whoever takes a step back will have his entire family executed." In such a situation, even Tu Yunsheng's ruthless order could only affect dozens of people around him. The thousands of people behind him could not hear it at all. They could only see ferocious beasts on the mountain knocking down the crowd and rushing towards them , roars of killing that shook the earth, and bandits who had gone crazy and wanted to die with them!
The county lieutenant led the last group of people to this place. Seeing that the people in front wanted to run back, he said anxiously: "What are you all standing there for? Go ahead, you have no way to retreat!"
When everyone heard this, they turned around and saw that, as expected, the fire had spread to the entire village with the help of the east wind, and the valley behind had become a sea of fire!
"City Guard Archers, listen up! Lead the crossbowmen to prepare to form an eight-character formation and shoot the enemy troops on the left and right wings!"
"The sword and axe centurions cover the archers!"
"Disperse! Disperse! Don't fight the beasts head-on. Prepare your spears. Cut off the legs of these beasts when they come in!"
"Surround and kill! Surround and kill quickly!"
The county lieutenant gave orders frantically. He used to be a captain of a thousand men in the army. Commanding these people to fight was not a problem. The problem was that the morale of the army was unstable. However, the fire behind him helped him!
It’s a fight to the death, so who’s afraid of whom?
"There are steep ridges on both sides. The only way to survive is ahead! Kill them!"
The battle situation changes rapidly, and the city defenders with professional command have the greatest advantage. After regrouping, they are like wild beasts climbing mountains, gradually devouring the lives of the bandits.
"Where are you escaping to!" Tu Yunsheng suddenly found Lao Wu who had escaped from his hands. He jumped up, and after using all his strength to disperse a batch of arrows, a stream of color flew out from his sleeves, and in a blink of an eye, it harvested the lives of more than a dozen crossbow bandits. Then his figure fell down, crushed the heads of several bandits with a look of pride, and rushed to Lao Wu in a blink of an eye.
Lao Wu didn't dare to confront him head-on. He grabbed the bodies of two bandits and threw them at Tu Yunsheng. While Tu Yunsheng was chopping the bodies open, he rushed to the back of the bandits.
At the same time, the five sword guards discovered Lao Wu and rushed towards him.
However, Old Five's cultivation was obviously stronger than theirs. Even though he was seriously injured, he was able to escape from the five sword guards and run to the top of the mountain.
A sword guard was anxious. After stabbing a bandit who blocked his way to death, he channeled his true energy to his feet and leaped ten feet high. The sword in his hand flashed and he just chopped out an invisible wind blade, but at the same time, he was pierced through the chest by an arrow. His body fell to the ground and he died on the spot!
"There is an expert in archery among the bandits, everyone be careful!" A sword guard saw his companion die and hurriedly reminded him, but as soon as he finished speaking, with a whoosh, an arrow shot straight at his head.
The sword guard reacted extremely quickly, waving his sword horizontally, and the sword was like a silver plate blocking in front of him. However, the arrow did not bounce off after hitting the silver plate. Instead, there was a loud explosion, and the sword guard was blasted into the ravine by the roadside, with no telling whether he was alive or dead.
"Left!" Tu Yunsheng glanced and flicked his sleeves. The colorful light in front of his sleeves reappeared and flew towards the bushes on the left.
It seemed that the people in the bushes were prepared. When they saw the colorful light coming, they immediately flew out from behind the trees and blasted arrows at the ground, sending up clouds of flying dust. Their figures also disappeared in the flying dust and could no longer be seen clearly.
Tu Yunsheng snorted coldly, and the black feathers circling around his body cut a bloody path for him, then rushed into the dust and disappeared on the top of the mountain in a moment.
"Protect the lord!" The remaining three sword guards also rushed towards the smoke and dust.
One of the three men seemed to be a step slower, and suddenly he felt a huge force pulling his waist. The next moment, he was dragged into the group of bandits and hacked to death!
At this time, on the top of the mountain, Zhao Yongdang was looking at the sky full of flying insects. He let out a long sigh, and stretched out his hand from his sleeve. He grabbed in the air, and a ball of cloth with a strong stench was grabbed from the swarm of insects by him using his Cloud-Locking Hand. When the swarm of insects pounced on him, he threw the ball of cloth down the mountain. In an instant, countless flying insects followed and pounced into the crowd fighting at the foot of the mountain!
The deafening shouts of the crowd were instantly drowned out by the chirping of insects in the sky. They also woke up at the same moment, and when they looked up they saw horror on their faces!
There was almost no need for communication as both sides dispersed in an instant.
"Shoot an arrow and burn the honey jar!" the county lieutenant ordered.
"No, if it burns, the insect swarm will scatter everywhere, and then it will be more difficult to resist!" someone reminded.
"Stupid! I still have three bottles of rotten flower honey here. You can quickly make a honey jar and throw it into the ravine, and destroy the honey jar at the same time." After the county lieutenant said this, the people around him suddenly realized.
Just as he was preparing, another large cloud of insects descended from the sky. And because there was already a large swarm of insects below, the newly fallen cloth honey jar was actually lifted up by the swarm of insects and floated in the air to form a huge insect ball!
"How...how do we defeat this?"
"Archers, shoot thousands of arrows!" The county lieutenant roared. The archers no longer hesitated. Hundreds of arrows flew into the insect ball one after another. In an instant, an arrow hit the cloth ball, breaking through the insect swarm and falling into the ravine.
Zhao Yongdang was still looking for the exact location of the next cloth ball and seemed not to notice a black light appearing behind him.
Just as Wu Mang was about to cut Zhao Yongdang into pieces, suddenly, a powerful true energy burst out from Zhao Yongdang's body, shaking Wu Yu so much that he was about to fall and his speed was greatly reduced.
Zhao Yongdang then took a few steps and moved more than ten feet to the left in an instant. He turned around and looked at the black light flying into the sleeve of Tu Yunsheng who was walking slowly up the mountain. He sighed and said, "As expected, heroes emerge from youth. At such a young age, you have such a high level of cultivation and you even wield the Mandarin Duck Twin Blades. This really makes Zhao ashamed."
Having said that, Zhao Yongdang changed the subject. A ball of true energy gathered in his palm, emitting a faint silver haze that was almost visible to the naked eye.
Not everyone is like Zhang Tianliu. In their eyes, ordinary true qi is colorless, but when the true qi becomes strong enough, it will refract light.
At this time, the moonlight was shining, and Zhao Yongdang's true energy reflected a faint silver light.
"Liu Jue! I didn't expect that such a small city like Liancheng would have a master like you. However, your aura is unstable, so it must have been forced up." Tu Yunsheng was not afraid at all and approached step by step.
"In terms of strength, I am indeed not as good as you, not to mention that you have the Mandarin Duck Twin Blades, but you are not in your prime at the moment, and I am not alone!"
As soon as these words fell, suddenly, Lao Wu jumped out from the left, and Zhao Anxiao appeared from the right. Behind Tu Yunsheng was Mrs. Zhao holding a small crossbow.
