On the brink of disaster, a ferocious shout resounded and a javelin flew out fro lance dead center The path of the lance changed, although it continued to rush towards Su Qing However, this s onto Su Qing, she turound
Their horse, seely also startled by the ruckus behind, reared up on its hind legs The lance then pierced into the horse’s body With a long squeal, the horse collapsed to the ground
As soon as she dropped to the ground, Ruyue continued to hold onto Su Qing as she rolled away, avoiding the heavy horse carcass crashi+ng down beside her by a hair’s breadth
Alxiao noticed the boundless killing intent bubbling out from either side of the road He instinctively rose to his feet Just as he leapt into the air, countless crossbow bolts shot out and fleards hixiao bizarrely twisted around in the air and floated to the side The bolts collided in hed for the last tiround, eighteen figures in black cavalry uniforetation on both sides of the road, surrounding Duan Lingxiao in their es of twenty-five and thirty They wore leather armor over their clothes, and wielded sabers and shi+elds Every one of thes The dirt under their feet concentrated but did not scatter, and their eyes sparkled With one glance, he could tell that these were all handpicked experts fro arht or twenty-nine years old He appeared sincere and honest However, his eyes radiated light in all directions It could be slightly sensed that he was co aura that did not leak out in the tiniest Fro, it was evident he was the leader He held in his right hand a saber and a refined steel shi+eld in his left However, at this moment, his saber remained sheathed In addition, he had two short javelins tied at his waist It was thiswith adxiao asked, “Who are you people? Why would you appear here to intercept ht voice, “Vice Co’s Stalwart Tiger Guard and Couards, Huyan Shou We came on the Marquis of Chu’s orders to wait for Sire”
Hatred flashed in Duan Lingxiao’s eyes, as he inquired, “Was this all a setup by Jiang daren to lure lectful of his subordinates Are you confident you can stop me?”
Huyan Shou replied in a loud voice, “Sire, there is no need to try to sow discord ht is unmatched and knew that Sire would appear here, and would very likely attempt to cut off General Su As a result, he ordered us to follow theht when General Su was a That is why she risked her life to flee in this direction and led Sire to this part of the road We have just learned a new saber formation and have coxiao indifferently said, “As expected, the Marquis of Chu is quite cautious If I had not acted, there would’ve been no need for these precautions However, if I did act, then you would be able to find my trail However, he is truly quite vicious deep down If General Su did not have the ability to escape, wouldn’t he have lost a capable subordinate? Isn’t it a great pity that he would use someone of Miss Su’s talents as a sacrifice? Moreover, the ones he sent to ambush wasn’t his trusted subordinate, Demonic Shadow Li Shun, and only sent the lot of you to your deaths Is this kind of viciously ruthless and craven individual worthy of you all losing your lives?”
A scowl flashed across Huyan Shou’s face, as he uncaringly rebutted, “My for Sire to evaluate Isn’t vicious ruthlessness a quality of a real man? As for whether the daren is a coward, didn’t he speak up openly in the presence of the Fengyi Sect Master? Besides, Lord Li is daren</eo into battle All of our uidance from Lord Li We would like to see what Sire thinks”
In the wake of Huyan Shou’s words, each of the Stalwart Tiger Guard took a step forward Instantly, the concentrated forxiao, the changes of the “Wondrous Gates, Hidden Jia”<sup>2</sup> Fors and weaknesses He could not help smirk By thishis shi+eld out in front, he advanced When he entered the forhter and severe, and all of the holes disappeared without a trace Duan Lingxiao was greatly startled He had always thought that this saber formation was created based upon the principles of the Nine Palaces<sup>3</sup> Who could have guessed that the forinal forxiao, as familiar with tactical formations, to feel contemptuous However, once Huyan Shou had joined the formation, an inescapable net was cast This kind of h to shake the confidence of anyone caught within the formation
If the creator of the forxiao, then his ability and willpoas truly quite terrifying Without xiao ultiht you this saber formation? Is it always like this when General Huyan enters the formation last?”
Huyan Shou was stumped by the question The words he wanted to say to start the battle were sed down unsaid He thought, for time At this veryhere Once they have arrived, even if you have three heads and six arms, it will be ihts, Huyan Shou answered, “This saber for ht by Lord Li Originally, this was to help ensure that it is being used today to slay a villain”
Hearing this, Duan Lingxiao shtly He had already used the Devil Sect’s secret technique to discern that there were two different ar here from different directions With the enemy situation clear, he could escape at any moment However, it was impossible for him to fully understand this saber formation in a short period of ti the er Guard However, the ti ar him in a difficult diley of escape
Within the saber forhter Standing with his hands behind his back, he said, “Peculiar, ’s renegades who must be exterminated Who could have expected that I would see a disciple of the Fengyi Sect serving in the aryi Sect Master Fan Huiyao? Wait, that’s not right Each and every one of the Fengyi Sect Master’s disciples is well-known I have never heard of any surna Miss’sthe second and third generations of the Fengyi Sect’s disciples I wonder who Miss Su’s xiao’s words crashed like thunder Even the hard-hearted Yong warriors could not help gazing at Su Qing in stupefaction Having been helped up by her xiao’s words An aura of extreme despair exuded from her entire body Even the xiao’s words had hit upon one of the deepest hidden secrets kept by Su Qing’s In this changing at in the saber forht unawares, he leaped into the air shi+h the air like a rainbow, he quickly disappeared without a trace
In the wind, his frigid voice drifted back to say, “Su Qing, your martial art forebears are already exposed I want to see how you continue to serve in the Yong army”
The area fell silent Countless eyes were upon Su Qing Proudly, she stood, al, wintry snow plum blossoms However, her expression looked bleak and sorrowful It was clear that Duan Lingxiao’s words were not a ploy to sow dissension She was truly a disciple of the Fengyi Sect
The Fengyi Sect, that once celebrated and well-regarded sect, had now become a name everyone avoided However, it still had left a profound impact upon everyone It had at one point controlled the court for many years and had the authority to control the entire world Because of treason and rebellion, the sect was now scattered far and wide As for the Fengyi Sect’s former disciples, aside from those who had fled and disappeared, the le Some of them, because they were unable to return to their parents or their husbands’ fa so far as to become nuns Some were able to obtain the protection of their families However, they were henceforward dispirited and very rarely displayed their forlory As for the military, it had done its utyi Sect All those who had soyi Sect were either killed or lost all thoughts about continuing to serve in the arent of the Northern Regional Departeneral, and a heroine ayi Sect was spread, it could only asted
Several of the horsee bloere apprehensive Earlier, Su Qing’s swordplay was like a raging tide, h, there were shades of the Fengyi Sect’s swordsmanshi+p within It was only that they did not have any of these thoughts, and as a result, had not paid any particular attention to this detail Because Duan Lingxiao had a coyi Sect’shad acquired her
Seeing the unconcerned look on Su Qing’s face, Ruyue suddenly shouted in a loud voice, “All of you are going too far! The Miss has risked life and li these last several years She only just barely escaped froo Today, if the Miss hadn’t risk her life to fight bitterly, hoould Duan Lingxiao have been led into this a to trust in the words of the eneh hell with you? Is that reasonable?”
As she reached the end, she was full of grief and indignation Holding onto Su Qing, tears streaed looks, especially those soldiers who had witnessed Su Qing fighting Duan Lingxiao in the bloody battle These soldiers had shah, Huyan Shou asked, “General Su, is what thatto accuse you by lying If that is the case, all of us will naturally defend General Su”
Everyone understood Huyan Shou’s intentions As long as Su Qing refuted Duan Lingxiao’s words, Huyan Shou would be willing to conceal all of this All shared the saround, all of the to sacrifice their lives and reputations for the sake of Great Yong That was enough
At this moment, s cavalry had finally arrived As they neared, they were intie atmosphere of the situation and they voluntarily ca baffled at everyone as present when they arrived In the cold breeze, in the thousand men encirclement, a woman in azure clothes stood there The expression on her face was frigid The entirety of the area between the Heavens and the Earth was silent Apart fro, and the occasional sounds of horses blowing hot air and snorting, there were no other sounds
