244 Revenge! (1/2)

As the bow was released, it sent the arrow streaking like a meteorite.

The bow Tie Zheng used was also made from the Carapace Rhino’s horn, but due to his innate gift of superior arm strength and long arms – in addition to the bow being made from two complete horns and the bowstring from double layers of mystical tendons, his Deicide Bow’s formidability and shooting range was much better than ordinary Deicide Bows!

Upon being fetched and tossed three consecutive times, Yang Botao was only a small black dot in the air, yet Tie Zheng took aim and shot the arrow without hesitation.

The arrow disappeared in the blink of an eye as if it was freed from the constraints of space and distance.

Yun Yang’s sight was excellent, able to witness the blood spurting from Yang Botao. However, the distance was simply too great. He could not be sure where the man was injured or if it was a fatal wound. A man sprung up high beneath Yang Botao but this time, he carried his body close and pranced several times in midair to avoid three more mystical steel arrows before both of the men vanished completely.

With asingle thought, Yun Yang turned into a breeze of wind and followed the disappearing pair.

Yang Botao, where could you have gone to?

The battle around Tiantang Square’s stage was ascending into a climax instead of simmering down.

Yang Botao’s men were at least seventh peak and above in their cultivation bases while more than half of them had reached the ninth peak. The comparison of the individual cultivation base and that of military experts ensured that Yang Botao’s men would totally subdue the latter.

However, it was only a theoretical point. When they had gone head to head with the army, sunken into their besieging capabilities, they were immediately engulfed within the crowd!

Furthermore, there was a strong general like Tie Zheng who was commanding the fight from the stage; victory and defeat had long switched places.

”No one escapes!”

”Deicide Bows! Free shooting! No empty targets!”

”Outer circle, retreat. Drive the citizens out of the square, prevent accidental injuries as much as possible!”

”Center squad, maintain formations and listen to my command!”

”Left side, advance! Go in with your life!”

”Right side, forest of spears! No distinction of friend or foe!”

”Front and back, forest of spears! No distinction of friend or foe!”

Tie Zheng, who was standing higher than the rest being on stage, commanded the strategy of battle, his voice hoarse despite the short time it took to bellow those orders.

The tactic Tie Zheng was using now was exactly the one that always saw success whenever the army had to go against experts of the martial arts world.

So what if you could fly, sprint, hop, or fight? You’re at an advantage with your cultivation base and skills; I won’t be able to fight you under normal circumstances but I still can risk my life to bring you down.

I can die, taking you with me!

I use my life to trick you and bring you along to the underworld with me!

I dare to die. Do you?

The four-sided siege was all about sacrificing one front – the particular side’s men would hinder the experts’ movement with their own lives before their comrades from the other three sides killed the enemy by piercing the spears through them as well!

It was a brutal kind of warfare, but it was also the most effective tactic in tackling experts.

The slightest misstep during an exchange of skills by the experts would result in significant consequences, thus the experts were always wary of the brief lapse in deciding life or death. When the army had staked their lives to create many brief moments in hindering the experts’ movements – as long as one of the briefest lapses was utilized, an expert had only one life to give away, no matter how skilled or tremendous one was.

As cries belonging to the dozens of Four Seasons Tower’s seventh to eighth level experts chorused, they lost the ability to defend themselves completely, pierced through by the spears under such barbaric tactics.

A dozen soldiers hopped off from their comrades’ shoulders, swinging their sabers about, going down like dumplings into soup. As one was flung or kicked away, another took his place…

Even when the experts’ reaction was sharp and swift, as long as they could not fling one away in time when held down, the hesitance would make way for another five people to tackle them and spears piercing through the pile from every direction!

If the soldiers could find no gap, they would plunge the spear right through their comrades' bodies, clenching their teeth and tearing up – no matter the cost, they had to stab their target to death!

It was because all of them were clear that as long as the expert who was about to fall could regain his footing, all their prior sacrifices would be meaningless.

Their efforts would be wasted!

Therefore, they could only follow through with their tactics; they had to finish killing their targets.

”Revenge for the Nine Supremes! Exterminate the traitors! Fight to the end!”
