One Hundred and Sixty-Seven Acts [Lion, Tiger, Leopard]
On a snowy night, a group of soldiers in rough armor, riding white snow leopards, led by a black male lion with red flames between its hooves and claws, galloped all the way through the wind and snow.
It is hard for ordinary people to imagine that such a terrible army would launch a surprise attack on the Xia Kingdom's army, which is now the strongest in Dongji, under the leadership of a lion. It stands to reason that this lion should always have a knight on its back. Indeed, but the knight was not on the lion's back now, but was on his way somewhere else.
Ao Xian had forgotten that the last time he saw this red black lion was when he was a few years old. Perhaps it was because time was too long, which made him suddenly feel that the memories of the past seemed to be a little unreal when he saw the lion again.
However, there is not much time for him to remember and think about this. Because these running behemoths are not illusory illusions, but real, and are now attacking Ao Xian and the others.
After a moment of thought, Ao Xian raised the long knife in his hand and gave the order for the whole army to charge. Countless soldiers dressed in ghost tiger armor roared in response, and followed Ao Xian into the enemy formation.
On a snowy night, the drums of war and the trumpets of the charge sounded at the same time.
The red flames melted the frost and snow along the way, and the roaring Xia Guo Tiger Rider and the Tianwu Kingdom Leopard Rider were entangled together again as soon as they met. Time seems to have returned to that year, when the "Chiyan Rebellion" swept the entire Dongji.
Who would have thought that these two terrible armies also fought side by side together. If the world hadn't been divided into East and West, perhaps they wouldn't be facing each other now.
Frost and snow flew in the sky, scattered between the collision of cold blades. The sharp spear pierced through the armor of the Ghost Tiger Rider, and hot blood gushed out like a spring of water as the spear was withdrawn. Swords and wails accompanied by the roar of tigers and leopards resounded throughout the cold night.
The burning red flame was undoubtedly a nightmare that would wake him up from his sleep every time he dreamed of it. And now, Ao Xian is being forced to confront his truest fears.
The roaring Chiyan male lion directly tore the ghost tiger under Ao Xin's crotch during the first charge. The dead ghost tiger directly turned into black flames, leaving the cold armor in place. So, the frightened Ao Xian, brandished the long knife in his hand and ushered in his solo contest with this red black lion.
The roaring lion, waving its claws, pounced on Ao Xin. Ao Xian couldn't dodge and tried to forcibly take the blow of the Chiyan Black Lion, but was directly repelled by the Chiyan Black Lion. Some lone snow leopards rode at this time to meet Ao Xian on a narrow road, and then entangled with it, Ao Xian shouted and turned the long knife in his hand, and directly cut it in half.
Then, the Red Yan Black Lion took the opportunity to attack Ao Xian again. This time, Ao Xian kept a mind to dodge, but the ghost tiger rider standing beside him was not so lucky. The sharp claws of the lion are as sharp as clay, and even if they put on the special ghost tiger armor, they cannot escape this mortal fate.
Dead ghost tigers do not leave corpses, but dead Xia soldiers will splatter hot blood. Ao Xian, who dodged the fatal blow of the Red Yan Black Lion, failed to avoid the blood of this comrade.
Ao Xin tasted the strong smell of blood with his own mouth.
Subsequently, the desire to survive made the prince of the Xia Kingdom show his due combat power. When the Chiyan Black Lion attacked again, Ao Xian shouted, turned the long knife with both hands, and directly confronted it head-on, without the slightest hesitation.
This time, Ao Xin managed to catch the claws of the Red Lion's hooves, lifted it up, and then kicked it in the abdomen with all his might. The red black lion who was kicked by Ao Xian whimpered a few times, then turned around and disappeared into the chaotic battlefield.
Ao Xian frowned, thinking, "That's it?"
In fact, no matter where this strange lion went, Ao Xian should not have chosen to meditate on the battlefield. Those Tianwu Kingdom soldiers who wanted to make military merits, each one wanted to take his head.
Indeed, as long as Ao Xin died, this encounter would end in the victory of the Heavenly Martial Kingdom, and even the next battle of Liuyun City would be affected by the final outcome of this encounter.
The contemplative Ao Xian soon received the attack of the snow leopard riders around him again. So, Ao Xin, who was a little impatient, frowned and snorted. Having lost the ancient sword "Tiger", he had no choice but to turn his long knife to engage these snow leopard riders.
The chilling killing intent turned into a sharp qi blade in the process, and as a martial artist who entered the realm of heart martial arts, Ao Xian easily slashed all the snow leopard riders who were close to him within a snap of his fingers. In the face of absolute strength, any resistance is a death throes.
At this time, more and more Tianwu Kingdom soldiers rushed towards Ao. Ao Xian didn't expect this scene. For him, though, none of that mattered. The icy cold night will not have a slight temperature because of these enthusiastic Tianwu Kingdom warriors. An indifferent warrior never brings emotion to the battlefield.
When the Chiyan Black Lion suddenly disappeared from the battlefield, the task of containing Ao Xian was immediately handed over to these snow leopard riders who followed Hua Wu from birth to death. Of course, Ao Xian didn't think that these snow leopard riders were here to contain him, after all, compared to the Red Yan Black Lion, these guys were too weak.
In fact, these snow leopard riders who were coming towards Ao only needed to contain him for a while. Bright red blood was sprinkled all over the snow under the feet of the prince of the Xia Kingdom, and many ghost tiger riders of the Xia Kingdom were greatly encouraged by Ao Xin's bravery.
During this period, the Tianwu Kingdom army that tried to get close to the Xia State military camp was all suppressed outside the military camp by the evil bones and the blood tiger. However, the more chaotic the scene, there will always be frequent accidents.
Just when Ao Xian led the ghost tiger cavalry to confront the frontal attack of the Tianwu Kingdom's army, a snow leopard cavalry led by Hua Wu avoided Ao Xian's field of vision and rushed towards the Xia Kingdom's military camp from both wings of the military camp. The Blood Tiger Rider, who was in charge of the garrison, gave an early warning when they were about to appear, but the Evil Bone did not take it.
The speed of Huawu is very fast, so fast that it is beyond ordinary people's expectations. Can you imagine that a man in red and heavy armor can run faster than a galloping snow leopard in such a cold and snowy field?
In particular, the soldier in charge of the flank guard told him that he saw a man in heavy armor rushing towards their camp at great speed. The evil bones who were busy resisting the frontal invasion of the Tianwu Kingdom army naturally instinctively thought that these recruits had seen the real and cruel battlefield for the first time, and panicked, so they didn't believe what they said.
In the cold and snowy night, the faint blue flames lit up on the black and cyan red heavy armor. Hua Wu's speed is really fast, he is like a blue lightning bolt in the darkness, one moment it may still be in the sky, the next moment it will come to the front of him.
The sharp silver dragon spear easily tore through the flanks of the relatively weak defenses. The battle-hardened Evil Bone didn't expect that those Heavenly Martial Kingdom troops attacking head-on were actually to cover the army that surrounded them from the rear and both wings.
In fact, not only did the evil bones not expect it, but Ao Xin, who has always been cautious, also lost his rational judgment. As the first battle in Ao Xin's life, he didn't want to lose. Although he was calculated from the beginning, the battle was not over.
When the spear in Hua Wu's hand fell, the faint blue flame on the armor on his chest ignited the left wing of the Xia State military camp along the spear in his hand. All the Blood Tiger Riders in front of him turned into ashes in the blue flames that ignited and extinguished in an instant.
This is the terrible fire of "annihilation".
Immediately after, thousands of Heavenly Martial Kingdom soldiers entered the Xia Kingdom military camp at the moment when the blue flame was extinguished. Ao Xin didn't expect that the horn of urgency would blow behind him. At that moment, the indifferent warrior suddenly thought of his younger brother who loved to blow Xun.
Ao Xin, who had a premonition that the situation was not good, turned around and defended directly without the slightest hesitation. The ghost tiger rider, who was fighting head-on, immediately turned around and killed back to the camp under the leadership of Ao Xin. The evil bones who were responsible for defending against the frontal enemy also turned around at this moment to face off with Hua Wu, who was slaughtering in the Xia State military camp at the moment, and ushered in a head-to-head confrontation.
As a result, the evil bones overestimated themselves.
When he rode the roaring blood tiger and rushed directly at Hua Wu, who was wearing red and heavy armor, Hua Wu only used the silver dragon spear in his hand to "sweep" and killed the blood tiger under the crotch of the evil bone on the spot, and the evil bone rolled straight down in front of Hua Wu.
Then, without the slightest hesitation, Hua Wu kicked the evil bones away with a direct kick. If it hadn't been for Ao Xian, who arrived in time, to catch him, maybe he would have died at the feet of Huawu.
To be honest, Hua Wu's kick hurt the evil bones a lot. However, in view of the fact that the battle situation that was originally favorable to the Xia Kingdom gradually turned to favor the Tianwu Kingdom, the evil bones had to continue fighting. He didn't have a choice. In this battle tonight, Xia Guo must win. Otherwise, they will have to die here.
"Can we fight again? ”
Looking at Hua Wu in front of him wearing red and heavy armor, Ao Xin turned to the evil bones around him and said lightly. The evil bone climbed up with difficulty, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with Ao Xian a wry smile: "The last general is willing to fight for the Xia Kingdom until the last drop of blood is drained." ”
Ao Xian said lightly: "I need you to live." ”
He slowly stood up with the evil bone in his hand, and handed him the long knife in his hand, "There are ghost tigers riding in front of you, next, you need to expel all the Heavenly Martial Kingdom soldiers who broke into the barracks, can you do it?" ”
"I did my best. Evil Bone didn't hesitate, took the long knife directly from Ao Xin's hand, and then turned to him and asked, "So what should this guy do?" ”
Between the words, the evil bone clenched the long knife, and his eyes fell on the general of the Tianwu Kingdom in front of him, Hua Wu, who was wearing red Yan heavy armor. The next moment, Ao Xian picked up a sword on the ground and said lightly to him: "You go and do the things I just said, here I am." ”
Evil Bone listened, turned around and ran to the battlefield that belonged to him. As a result, a snow leopard took the opportunity to sneak into the Chinese army camp where Ao Ye was located. And now, as an elder brother, Ao Xian has no way to solve this crisis. Because, he has more important things to face.
To be honest, when he saw this Huawu in the armor of the Red Warrior again, the nightmare from his childhood resurfaced in Ao Xin's mind. That's the fear Ao Xin needs to face. And this fear actually has little to do with Hua Wu standing in front of him.
Because, the root of this nightmare comes from the "Chiyan Rebellion" twenty-one years ago, and the armor of the Chiyan Samurai that Hua Wu is wearing now, not this general from the Heavenly Martial Kingdom.
"When did you get in. ”
In the wind and snow, Ao Xian, who was holding a long sword in his hand, circled and walked slowly with the general of the Tianwu Kingdom in front of him who was wearing the armor of a Chiyan warrior. At this time, Ao Xian stared closely at Hua Wu's every move. Although he seemed relaxed when he said this, he was actually very nervous.
This can be seen by Hua Wu.
Under the cold visor, Hua Wu sneered. seemed to be laughing at the prince of Xia in front of him, who was not as calm as he imagined. Hua Wu hesitated for a moment, and then said lightly: "I just arrived here for a while. ”
Ao Xian: "Your tactics are very successful. ”
Huawu: "It's you who are too careless. ”
Ao Xin: "So now I'm here." ”
Huawu: "Who are you?"
Ao Xian: "The son of Xia Guo, Ao Xian." ”
Hua Wu: "Very good, do you know who I am?" ”
Ao Xian: "I don't know, it's not important. ”
Hua Wu: "For His Royal Highness, what is the most important thing. ”
Ao Xian didn't answer Hua Wu's words, but at the same moment, a mournful snow leopard roar suddenly came from the camp of the Xia Guozhong Army. Ao Xian knew that the power that might threaten Ao Ye at this moment had been lifted, and Hua Wu also knew what was most important to His Royal Highness the Prince of Xia in Ao Xin's eyes.
The next moment, Ao Xian responded to the Tianwu Kingdom general in front of him and said, "I will kill you and use your blood to pay tribute to all the Xia Kingdom soldiers who died here tonight." ”
As a result, Hua Wu sneered and said nothing.
The next moment, the red black lion that had originally disappeared from the frontal battlefield suddenly appeared behind Hua Wu. The male lion who had been injured by Ao Xin's kick roared at him, and then rushed towards the Chinese army tent where Ao Ye was.
After seeing this scene, Ao Xian frowned again, and secretly said in his heart: "It's not good!
As a result, Hua Wu raised the spear in his hand, pointed it directly at Ao Xian's eyebrows, and cut off Ao Xian's way: "Then, swing the sword!" Young man, tonight I want to see if the rumored Dongji Tiger, the bloodline of the Xia Kingdom Ao clan, can catch this silver dragon spear "Tianzhao" in my hand!"
Without waiting for the Tianwu Kingdom general to finish his generous statement, Ao Xin turned the hilt of the long sword in his hand and rushed directly into the middle of his words. The frost and snow turned into ice chips in the process, and the thin blades of air burst into brilliant sparks on the armor of the Red Yan warriors.
When Ao Xin raised the long sword in his hand above his head, he jumped up. Hua Wu, who was originally standing in place like a cold stone statue, then slowly waved the spear in his hand. In the next scene, a strong wave of qi spread around the two of them.
......
At this time, Ao Ye, who was in the camp of the Chinese army, was still trying to adapt himself to the inevitable bloodshed of the real battlefield as soon as possible. He didn't know what was going on outside the tent, but it was much quieter than it was just now.
However, just when Ao Ye thought it was all going to end. Outside the barracks, there was a sudden low gasp of the lion. Ao Ye frowned, and turned to ask the ghost tiger rider beside him, "Did you hear any strange sounds just now, like a lion's roar, or a gasp?"
The surrounding ghost tiger cavalry soldiers looked at each other, and said to Ao Ye: "Your Highness, don't worry, the situation outside has been controlled at present, and we can only ......"
Before the Ghost Tiger rider could finish his sentence, a bloody lion's claw pierced his chest from behind. The scorching blood splashed Ao Ye's face at that moment. Only then did the surrounding ghost tiger riders react, and a lion suddenly burst in while they were not looking.
However, even a well-trained Ghost Tiger Rider had no room to fight back in the face of such a behemoth. The sharp swords unsheathed quickly, but the claws of the Red Black Lion were faster than the swords in their hands.
The hard armor was like a lump of mud in front of it. In just a few moments, these ghost tiger riders died one by one under the claws of the Red Black Lion. Maybe it's because the blood of these Xia soldiers is not sweet enough, or maybe the previous kick of Ao Xian was too heavy.
The Red Black Lion, which could have used its fangs to tear through these ghost tiger riders, ended up using only its claws of hooves and claws surrounded by red flames as weapons. After solving the last ghost tiger horse, in the entire Chinese army camp, only Ao Ye and this red black lion remained.
This scene, Ao Ye never foresaw.
Growing up, he was afraid of these beasts. This made him dare not even try to ride his own blood tiger when he became an adult. And now, the Chiyan Black Lion, who was opening his bloody mouth and preparing to eat Ao Ye in one bite, only increased Ao Ye's original fear.
As a result, at the moment of crisis, a thunderbolt fell. Directly hit the Chinese army camp in the Xia Kingdom. Immediately afterwards, the sound of Xun played by Ao Ye before echoed between heaven and earth after this heavenly thunder fell.
At this time, outside the camp of the Xia Guozhong Army, Ao Xian held the broken long sword in his hand and stood in the wind and snow with difficulty. All the armor on his body was shattered by the Heavenly Martial Kingdom General in front of him, who was wearing the heavy armor of a Chiyan warrior.
Despite this, Hua Wu, who was dressed in Chiyan heavy armor, did not expect that the young man in front of him would be able to break through the armor of the Chiyan warrior with a mortal body. In silence, Hua Wu looked at the half-truncated sword inserted into his breastplate, and suddenly began to think about whether it was because of his own carelessness that caused such an ending.
The faint blue flame that veined on the armor of the sycamore gradually dimmed. When the ancient sound of Xun sounded after the unknown cause of the thunder, the tired Ao Xian suddenly lost his mind. In a trance, he seemed to see a woman dressed in red, walking slowly in the wind and snow, and then slowly leaving.
He thought he had seen this woman somewhere.
However, the woman did not respond to his gaze.
Ao Xian whispered suspiciously: "Sixteen Nights Moon Red Lotus?"
As soon as Ao Xian's words fell, Ao Ye, who was covered in blood, slowly walked out of the barracks with the hooves and claws of the red black lion in his hands, and let out the loneliest cry in the wind and snow. Seeing this scene, Ao Xian couldn't help but feel sorry for his younger brother. He didn't know what Ao Ye had just experienced.
Unexpectedly, at the moment when Ao Ye held the hooves and claws of the Red Yan Black Lion and stepped out of the Chinese military camp. Hua Wu, who was originally standing in front of Ao Xin, didn't know where he went, and the troops of the Tianwu Kingdom who were launching a fierce attack on the military camp also retreated one after another.
Ao Xian, who didn't know why, looked at the half-cut sword in his hand and knelt on the ground. It suddenly felt like a dream, but it was all too real.
"Is it over?"
Ao Xian muttered to himself.
At this time, the evil bone suddenly collapsed beside him.
"It's over, it's dawn. ”
