Volume 3: Star Tower Chapter 35: Punishing the Heart (Part 1)
Tang Zheng stepped on tiptoe and almost left an afterimage.
Not far ahead of him, a battle had already begun. Although the army escorting the grain and fodder was not very strong, they were all regular troops. It was obvious that they had encountered such refugees more than once or twice and were very experienced.
However, behind that group of refugees, stars began to rise one after another, and one, then two, stars lit up behind them.
Tang Zheng suddenly realized.
If you don't have any real skills, how can you think you can be a refugee and rob military supplies along the way?
laugh……
The Han Jiangxue in Tang Zheng's hand had already pierced into the body of a refugee without any starlight.
"Demons are rampant on the border and we can't get enough food. General... General, please give us some reward, I beg you." The refugee turned around and showed Tang Zheng a sad look on his face.
They have all lit up their fate palaces, so how could they not have enough to eat?
Even in the army, they can at least be a flag captain.
Tang Zheng was confused, so the dagger in his hand paused for a moment...
In fact, once in a battle, Tang Zheng rarely lets thinking affect the battle. It seems that his thinking is temporarily separated from his fighting instinct. No matter how funny the things he thinks in his mind are, his fighting will not stop at all.
However, perhaps because of the forced suppression of his hostility in the fourth and fifth rounds of fighting, Tang Zheng's fighting was not smooth. At least, compared with his normal fighting, his fluency was much lower.
And just at the moment when his dagger paused, he heard a gust of wind coming from behind.
The warrior who had just told him with a sad face that he was not full suddenly burst out with surging power. He turned his wrist, stretched forward with his dirty fingers, and grabbed Tang Zheng's sleeve.
Then, the sound of weapons breaking through the air behind Tang Zheng was getting very close...
The cooperation between the two of them was obviously very familiar.
"Save the food and fodder." A flag officer at the head of the convoy cried out in grief and jumped onto the convoy. "You must get over my dead body first..."
Less than three breaths after he uttered this sentence, he really turned into a corpse.
A refugee next to him skillfully picked up the weapon he had dropped on the ground and rushed towards another soldier next to him.
"Kill them. Kill them, quickly..." The leader of the refugees also shouted, "I just got news yesterday that three villages fifty miles south of Huaban Hill are short of food."
Tang Zheng swung his hand back, and the fan pendant accurately entangled the sword behind him. At the same time, Han Jiangxue slashed across the refugees in front of him. He stretched out his foot to kick the other party away, and just heard the leader say this.
He frowned and was about to speak when he heard the leader laugh twice: "Hurry up, don't let other caravans get there first. We can sell these carts of grain at a high price..."
"Selling children to buy food." This group of refugees actually sang this sad story in folk songs . Tang Zheng's eyes widened. It was the first time he saw robbers being so arrogant.
"My children are so pretty, they sold their love for a fortune..."
"Hanshui is a good family, Lishan is a good family, it's better to be a slave or a maid. I'd rather be a dog in peacetime than a person in troubled times."
Their singing became louder and louder, and Tang Zheng heard the same sound seemingly coming from far away.
Tang Zheng just felt his scalp tingling.
Killing people and robbing goods, selling children and daughters...
He had never seen a real war, but he knew that even in a real war, he would take action.
Tang Zheng jumped to the side, grabbed the hair of a refugee next to him, pulled his head back, and at the same time smeared the Han Jiang Xue on him.
This is a one-star warrior, and Tang Zheng does not need to use martial arts.
However, he immediately felt a pain in his waist. At the same time when two refugees held his feet tightly, a two-star warrior picked up a sword and stabbed it directly into his waist. Blood splattered, and he was pierced through!
Tang Zheng was almost laughing out of anger.
This way of fighting... This way of fighting...
It's simply shameless and outrageous.
But, it is effective.
The two refugees, who had almost no fighting power for Tang Zheng, clung to his feet and made it impossible for him to use footwork or martial arts to get away. Immediately, the sword of the two-star warrior followed.
boom.
A fire started in his heart, and he used two extremely swift moves to cut off the hands of the two refugees at his feet. Then the star power quickly flowed into the soles of his feet and he soared into the air.
He turned halfway in the air and shot a ray of hatred towards the two-star warrior!
"Hu...Hu..." Tang Zheng was gasping for breath. He didn't dare to draw the sword at his waist for the time being, because there were at least two two-star warriors here and he had no time to stop the bleeding.
Fight, fight, fight.
Tang Zheng no longer needed to think about anything. The battle at this point was already extremely difficult and he could not afford to relax at all.
Swish…
Another sword strikes.
Tang Zheng bounced up from the ground, pushing the Han Jiangxue in his right hand forward, while the folding fan in his left hand had already revealed its sharpness. Two rays of starlight shot out one after another, the first one directly broke the sword into two halves, and the second one hit the heart of the refugee holding the sword.
A layer of khaki starlight surged on the refugee's chest, and Tang Zheng's attack was blocked with a bang. At the same time, another refugee came over from the other side and hit Tang Zheng's wound on his waist...
"Hehe, can't you see clearly that I have several eyes?" Tang Zheng listened to the sound of the weapon breaking through the air and turned his hand back. The poisoned arrow hit the blade of the dagger in Tang Zheng's left hand with a "ding" sound. Then, as Tang Zheng stretched out his hand and shook the dagger, the arrow circled on the dagger with a "ding ding ding" sound, and was thrown out by Tang Zheng and returned the same way!
However, during this period of time, the two-star warrior launched an attack again.
The warrior who attacked Tang Zheng stared at him, confused: "How many... eyes?"
These were the last four words in his life.
The next second, the hidden arrow thrown back by Tang Zheng hit his throat, and he fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back.
Tang Zheng took two steps back, spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes bright, "It's just a trial, is it necessary to make it so difficult?"
…
The number of people in the Seven Killing Star Eyes decreased rapidly.
After just a few waves of refugees, there were only twelve people left on the island!
The old man outside had been talking for more than an hour and was already dry-mouthed. However, seeing that the first batch of warriors who landed on the Seven Kill Island this year were rapidly decreasing, he still wanted to speak.
So rare!
You know, those who can ascend to the Star-Seeking Tower are the most outstanding warriors in Xingyao Continent, and the first batch of warriors who land on the Seven Killings Island are also the warriors who have the greatest hope of being introduced to the Seven Killings Main Star, but...
There were only twelve left out of more than four hundred people.
Because of the time difference inside and outside the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower, from the perspective of those outside the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower, the rate of decline in the number of people was even more terrifying, leaving Lao Miaotou a little at a loss as to what to say.
"One more missing, one more missing..." Someone nearby has already noticed.
Eleven...
Ten, nine...
The starlight on Qisha Island was getting fewer and fewer. In such a large area, in the end, there were only nine people left!
On the Seven Killings Island.
Tang Zheng squatted down against the tree. Finally he had time to draw the sword from his waist. Then he quickly took medicine, applied medicine, and adjusted his star power.
There was silence on the island.
Almost all the other warriors were treating their wounds urgently like him.
Only Meng Fenghua was there. She calmly shook off the blood on her heavy sword and looked at the corpses on the ground. However, the fire in her eyes was still flickering, and the flames were getting higher and higher.
However, this silence did not last long...
Tang Zheng heard a scream not far from him: "Sister Yan'er?"
Swish, swish, swish…
Soon, the sound of weapons clashing followed.
Such screams soon rang out across the island.
Tang Zheng clenched the dagger in his hand and exhaled with a smile: "The seventh round is finally coming?"
The number of test rounds on Qisha Island varies every year, but usually after the third or fourth round, it starts to be related to the invocation of the astrological signs, and it is rare to reach the seventh round.
This year's Qi Sha Island has reached the last round!
Like him, Meng Fenghua, who was far away on the beach, also clenched his weapons tightly.
However, when she turned around and saw the attacker, her brows suddenly twisted into a ball: "Wind Chime?"
The little girl with a jingling bell around her neck gave a delicate cry and instantly pointed the small sword in her hand at Meng Fenghua.
"Little Bell...illusion?" Meng Fenghua's heartbeat almost stopped, and her brows furrowed even tighter. "What's going on?"
bite!
Meng Fengling attacked with a sword, and the two people's weapons collided, creating a flash of fire.
Behind the two of them, the same constellation of the Queen Mother of the West was shining with a flickering light!
And beside Tang Zheng's ears, the roars of warriors with red eyes rang out...
"Which demon clan? How dare you pretend to be my sister! I will kill you."
"The last round of tests was just an illusion? But why is it my fiancée..."
"Damn it! Even if it's you, don't think you can stop me in the last round. Kill! Kill! Kill!"
On the Qisha Island, which had been silent for a moment, the sound of shouting and killing was heard again.
Kill demons, kill enemies, kill bandits...
Kill the most important person to you?
Tang Zheng's heart moved and he slowly turned his head.
"Long time no see." A young girl wearing a long silk gown with wide cuffs dancing in the wind looked at him with a smile.
"You..." Tang Zheng took a deep breath.
"Are you okay?" The girl said with a smile as she pulled out a rapier from her sleeve and pointed it at Tang Zheng.
However, compared to other people who were surprised to be attacked by their close or important people, Tang Zheng was not surprised at all.
"I'm fine." Tang Zheng replied with a smile, "You still care about me so much."
"Of course I care about you. What is our relationship?" the girl replied with a smile.
"That's right, what's our relationship..." Tang Zheng also laughed.
