Chapter 68 Pumping Mountains, Cutting Off Water, and Closing Roads
"Boom!"
A loud noise suddenly came from the front, and in the haze, it seemed that something was moving, which startled everyone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Qiu Youqing was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "What kind of sound is this?"
The leader of the Cui family thought for a moment: "It seems, it's a bit like ...... The sound of boulders crashing!"
"Boulders collided?"
Qiu Youxin was stunned for a moment, and then said with some amusement: "It can't be that the wind is too strong to blow down some stones!"
"It's possible that Commander Qiu said it, but the old man thinks that this should be the sound of trees falling, and if the boulders collide, it should be more crisp, not as heavy as this!" Lin Fengyu said in a deep voice.
Beside him, the leader of the Wang family nodded, as if he was extremely approving.
"Okay, don't worry about what the sound is, let everyone pay attention. Wang Degao, Cui Jian, the two of you go to the rear. Lin Fengyu and autumn have a heart, and become a two-winged guard. Xiang Xuan, follow me!"
Qiu Youqing finished speaking silently, and closed his eyes in the response of everyone, and the next moment, the internal energy in the meridians instantly became restless, constantly flowing in the body, and at the same time, a field that ordinary people could not feel covered the past with Qiu Youqing as the center.
This is the power of the grandmaster, but it is more majestic and more condensed than the power of the grandmaster of Chen Guyu, and after a while, he came to a thousand meters away, in the gray.
There was silence, under Qiu Youqing's perception, there was a clearing, and there were no creatures, but he remembered what he had seen before, the black shadows were constantly moving, and there were obviously a bunch of people there, as if they were lurking, and they seemed to be waiting.
His mind moved slightly, and he expanded the field a few steps again, sensing a farther range.
Suddenly, in the silence, a strange voice sounded.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
It was as if countless people were beating drums, strong and powerful, but Qiu Youqing quickly understood that it was the sound of a heartbeat, and it was the heartbeat of a warrior, and the blood supply was powerful, so it could be so shocking. The rhythm of dozens of people burst out in his domain in an instant, directly destroying the invisible realm.
Qiu Youqing snorted, opened his eyes suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Be careful, meet the enemy!"
The sound fell, and before it could be heard far, the sound of dense arrows suddenly sounded, and I saw dense sharp arrows coming from all directions with the sound of collapsing strings, like thunder, like a swift wind, leaving only phantoms, and passed away in the blink of an eye.
Qiu Youqing's voice did not arrive, but the reaction of the students was enough to be called the elite of the academy, in the face of the attack, the seventeenth battalion moved with each other, and the internal strength came out vigorously, and after the sound of a piece of gold and stone striking, all the sharp arrows were blocked.
Sanyi also followed the crowd next to him, and when he saw that no one was injured, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although he was strict and dictatorial on weekdays, but when he really arrived on the battlefield, he saw the performance of these students, and he also felt a sense of relief.
They are jade, they need to be polished and refined, but at the same time, they can also bloom with a different style.
In the academy, there is never a weakling.
This is also the reason why Qiu Shuai chose to bring the academy out, maybe the students are not as sophisticated and comfortable as the veterans who are rolling between life and death on the battlefield, but in this small-scale sneak attack encounter, everyone in the academy can exert strong combat power. With their talent and acquired cultivation, the students of the academy have at least the first level of martial arts, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers.
The arrow fell, and everyone finally came to their senses, Qiu Shuai was not wrong, there was something wrong with this wind, the enemy was lying in ambush next to them, and they were already surrounded.
Thinking of this, the faces of the several commanders were not very good, and Lin Fengyu even scolded directly at Sanyi: "Sanyi, what's the matter, don't you guarantee that this mission is foolproof? Why is this happening!"
Sanyi's face was pale, and he didn't dare to say much in the face of the commander's scolding, and his heart was full of questions, this mountain road would only be known to the local people, not to mention their big detour to sneak attack the granary, who would know, and besides, who are these enemies in ambush?
Lin Fengyu still had to say more, Qiu Youxin had already turned around, and said coldly: "Okay! Commander Lin, now is not the time to hold him accountable, let's solve the current situation first!"
Although he is the four major commanders, it is obvious that Qiu Youxin's status is still higher than that of the other three, seeing him speak, although Lin Fengyu's face is very bad, he still snorted coldly and stopped.
Before I knew it, the wind suddenly stopped.
The mountain road suddenly became very peaceful, but the atmosphere of the flow in the meantime became more and more solemn. The students were all vigilantly looking around, as if a large number of thieves would suddenly emerge from the mountains and jungles.
The wind stopped and the rain stopped, and as the wind stopped, the clouds gradually dispersed, and the heavens and the earth changed again, and although they were not as bright as they had been at noon, they finally regained some light. At the same time, sporadic light rain began to fall from the sky, and the wind stopped and the clouds dispersed, and the rain finally came down.
There was a chill.
However, everyone's minds were no longer on this winter rain, but looking ahead. Both Cui Jian and Lin Fengyu guessed wrong in the end, the loud sound was not a collision of boulders at all, nor a tree falling, but the sound of the entire mountain cracking.
A few miles away, the winding mountain road had completely disappeared from view, and was replaced by a huge mountain. The verdant peaks were clearly from the mountains on either side, but now, as if they had been forcibly pulled out, they lay in the middle of the mountain path, cutting off the way of the procession.
The branches and vines on the mountain peaks no longer know how many have been uprooted, but in that greenery, there are a few more branches that feel broken.
Everyone watched in shock, until suddenly someone exclaimed.
"Ah, how hot is this rain!"
Only then did the students feel that something was wrong, the rain that fell from the sky suddenly changed its taste, and it was originally cold, but now it was suddenly mixed with a trace of fire in the external coldness, although it was not hurtful, but it was still a little uncomfortable to fall on the thick winter clothes.
The commanders also felt it, and their expressions changed dramatically for a while, and they looked nervously at the old man not far away.
All this weirdness caught them off guard.
Qiu Youqing was still standing at the forefront, whether it was pumping mountains and closing roads, or the strange rain in the sky did not make his face change in the slightest, he stared at the front tightly, and finally spoke: "Wu Zixiao, come out!"
"Wu Zixiao, who is that?"
"Could it be that the marshal knows what is going on with these strange conditions?"
The students couldn't help but whisper, and the faces of the four major commanders changed drastically when they heard this name, and the heads of the families among them were even more cold sweat, as if they had heard something terrible.
Yue Xi and Ye Qianli's brothers and sisters hurriedly came to Sanyi's side and asked in a low voice, "Instructor, who is Wu Zixiao that Qiu Shuai said?"
Sanyi's face was also pale, and when he saw someone asking a question, he wanted to scold him back directly, but when he saw that it was Yue Xi, he somehow opened his mouth and said: "Wu Zixiao, he is the marshal of the Tang Dynasty, who has the same status as Qiu Shuai in the empire, and is also Qiu Shuai's old opponent for decades." ā
"What?"
No matter how surprised the students were, as Qiu Shuai's voice resounded in the mountain path, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded from the shattered mountain.
"Haha, I didn't expect it, Lao Qiu, how do you know it's mine?"
Immediately afterwards, a figure suddenly appeared on the mountain road not far away, wearing a white robe, like a ghost, at first it was a small afterimage, but in an instant, it appeared a hundred meters away.
At this time, everyone also saw clearly, it was an old man who was over half a hundred years old, but he was younger than Zhi Qiushuai, and somehow there was always an uncomfortable feeling on his body.
"That's murderous aura!" Sanyi obviously felt it, and opened his mouth to explain: "The murderous aura is invisible, but it can be felt, Qiu Shuai's cultivation is the way of killing, but Qiu Shuai's comprehension of murderous aura is more profound, so we generally can't understand it, and this person, because of the difference in martial arts, is to let the murderous aura be directly exposed, so we will have this uncomfortable feeling." ā
"So, how about this Wu Zixiao compared to Qiu Shuai?" Ye Qianli swallowed his saliva, the marshal of the Tang Dynasty, although he had never heard of it in Chang'an, he also understood that he must be a terrifying and powerful person.
Sany frowned: "If you fight alone, you will naturally not be able to compare to Qiu Shuai, with Qiu Shuai's strength, there are less than a few palms on this continent that can suppress him...... But now, this Wu Zixiao dares to appear here so openly, and the situation is not optimistic!"
Not far away, hearing Wu Zixiao's question, Qiu Shuai sneered, his snow-white beard fluttering in the air, but he had a majesty, like a lion who woke up, contemptuous of the weak enemy.
"Hmph, Wu Zixiao, although you hide very secretively like a mouse, but don't forget, the smell of your body can't be hidden, I have already sensed everything from miles away!"
Wu Zixiao's face changed, he looked at himself, and instantly understood that it was the rich murderous aura, but he immediately fought back: "Haha, I don't want to either, this thing is indeed a little troublesome, but I really can't help but start when I see your ancient Tang soldiers, the pleasure of looking at that knife, haha!"
Everyone exclaimed, Qiu Shuai was even more furious, and directly raised his palms, and the next moment, it was the internal strength surging, and a sharp palm wind went away with a cold snort.
Wu Zixiao hurriedly raised his fist to meet the attack, the cyan internal energy flashed in his hand, and a punch slammed into the palm wind.
"Boom!"
A huge collision sounded, and in the turbulent shock wave, Qiu Youqing stood awe-inspiring, standing still, and not far away, Wu Zixiao had already taken a few steps back to calm the momentum, his face was pale, and he couldn't help coughing.
Judge from above!
"Cough, Lao Qiu, don't be in a hurry, why don't you take a look at the gift I gave you?"
"Wu Zixiao, don't play any tricks, since you dare to come today, then leave your life behind!" Qiu Youqing said lightly, his eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed, he had already tried out the blow just now, in the past few years, Wu Zixiao's strength has not increased, and it is not difficult to keep him!
Faced with Qiu Youqing's threat, Wu Zixiao only smiled faintly, and did not let go of his heart at all, and then raised his hands slightly, as if he was greeting something.
"The gift, this is it!"
"Pumping mountains, cutting off water, closing roads, and, killing autumn!"
"My lord, please take action quickly and kill this fang for Tang Xuan!"
