Chapter 653 (1/2)

Near the peak of blood moon, the mountain is steep, and the mountain road paved with blue stone reaches the peak directly.

This section is a full mile long, with jagged rocks and no grass on both sides of the mountain road.

Due to years of walking, the bluestone has been polished smooth. It is like a mirror under the moonlight.

Although the stone steps are straight, they are also steep.

A hundred people from the Qianfeng of the Chenyuan pavilion have come to this stone terrace. The shouts in the square shook the mountains. They all heard them clearly, and some people trembled slightly in their hearts.

Several traps and ambushes have caused them heavy losses, and many people are afraid of the blood moon peak.

Seeing that it was approaching the peak, there was no ambush or attack all the way, but suddenly heard the neat cry of XueYue sect disciples from the top of the mountain.

The mountain road is steep and narrow. The two teams form a team and go up the bluestone steps.

The XueYue sect disciple who had already moved dozens of wooden barrels to the intersection saw the shadowy people on the mountain road by the dim yellow moonlight.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, less than ten feet away from the top of the mountain, Ma Bao gently waved his hand, and the disciples of XueYue cult immediately dumped the bucket. Suddenly, a sound of ”Hua Hua” came, and a black water flow quickly flowed down the stone steps.

The disciples of Chenyuan Pavilion who were struggling to climb up were slightly stunned when they heard the sound of water flow, but the water soon reached their feet. A scream in front and a slip at their feet immediately turned into a rolling gourd and rolled down the mountain. Then there was a scream in the back and fell down one after another.

It turned out that the barrel contained not water, but fire oil. When dozens of barrels of fire oil fell down, the whole stone steps were immediately filled with fire oil. How can these people stand still? One by one, they screamed and became rolling gourds, rolling down the mountain.

After dozens of barrels of kerosene were poured out, the horse leopard waved, dozens of strong archers bent their bows and took arrows, and dozens of rockets wrapped around the burning tarpaulin immediately fired on the mountain road.

The 100 disciples of the earthly Pavilion slipped under their feet and were startled. When they were panicking, they saw the falling rockets all over the sky. They immediately understood what was going on and couldn't help the dead souls out of their bodies.

The fire oil touched the fire, and a mountain road immediately became a fire dragon. There were 100 strikers, none of them escaped, and they were all surrounded by the fire. Suddenly, the scream of despair resounded through the mountains.

Dugu Cheng quickly stopped the people behind and retreated urgently. Fortunately, he had kept a distance of ten feet from the front. When he saw that the disciples in front fell down one after another, he immediately knew that there was something strange playing on the blood moon peak. He immediately stopped his steps, flashed to the rubble on both sides, and retreated downward.

Sure enough, dozens of rockets fell from the sky and all the people in front of them were buried in the sea of fire.

Listening to their wails and screams, many people felt numb. Master Zhiyun lowered his head to recite the Buddhist scriptures and said, ”God has the virtue of living well. It's a sin to kill xueyuefeng like this!”

Lei Heng came to the intersection and saw the 100 people who had gradually disappeared on the mountain road. He said in a deep voice, ”Ma Bao!”

Ma Bao hurried forward and promised. Lei Heng said, ”they didn't come up at all. Why did you light a fire?”

Ma Bao was surprised and said, ”leader Lei, my subordinates saw that they were approaching and were worried that they would rush up, so...”

Lei Heng sighed and said, ”just tell the brothers to prepare for hard work!”

Although this road is the only way to go up the mountain, the terrain in the east of XueYue peak is flat. Although it is slightly steep near the peak, it is not the only place to go up the peak.

It was originally thought that dozens of barrels of fire oil could make Dugu city suffer heavy losses. Unexpectedly, Dugu city had been prepared and separated the team. There were only 100 people in front. Ma Bao acted too hastily, and the Allied losses were not serious.

Lei Heng pulled out his long sword, strode to the disciples and said loudly, ”the strong enemy will come up soon. Everyone is ready to fight!”

There was a sound of drawing a knife. In the moonlight, the light and shadow of the knife suddenly came, and the killing intention was awe inspiring.

According to the original plan, Ma Bao continued to guard the intersection, Mo Ge and Yuan Qing on the right, Dugu Xue and Hua Zhongyou on the left, and Ming ran, Yin Gou and Lei Heng assisted Dugu Xue and Hua Zhongyou. Qi Kaishan and Luo Jiuyuan helped Ma Bao and Jia Qiankun defend the city wall, which was the last line of defense of the blood moon sect.

Mobei Shuangxiong, Zhu Minnan, Ding Gang and Lei tiger help Mo Ge and Yuanqing.

All the disciples of XueYue sect separated according to the flag of each leader, rubbing their hands one by one, waiting for the arrival of the fierce battle.

Jia Qiankun stood on the city wall. There were twenty serial crossbows on the city wall. These serial crossbows were launched by mechanisms. One serial crossbow can launch five crossbows at one time, with a range of more than 200 steps and can penetrate people.

Eight huge braziers on the square lit a raging fire, reflecting the square into a bright light.

Dugu Cheng and others suddenly saw the fire and retreated, but soon stabilized.
