87: Defend the road

The lights are on, and the night is low. In the city of Yangzhou, the whole city is under martial law. No one is allowed to go out without permission unless the warrant of the Assassination Authority permits. The usual lively fireworks places have become deserted because of this. Even the red lanterns hanging high have lost their former brightness, and only a bleak and desolate atmosphere remains.

Under the cover of night, Cheng Li led a large group of men and horses, quietly passed through the gate of Yangzhou City, and rushed towards the direction of Jiangjiazhuang Ferry. The 1,000-feather forest army is the core, plus the 3,000-box army, which is divided into three teams, including grass and horses, and all the equipment is mainly lightweight. It also carried a large number of fire-starting objects. Of course, none of the remaining hundreds of earthquake-shaking arrows remained, and they were all brought with them. There is only one goal: the main force of the Woko stationed in Fairy Town!

To be honest, in the eyes of the officers of the Xiang Army. In this raid, Chengren's chances are simply more than ten times more than successful. So if you tell the truth, there are really few people who are willing to follow Cheng Li to death.

But no matter how unwilling you are, there is no way. The official is a big man who crushes people to death, not to mention that Cheng Li's officials are more than a dozen levels bigger than them? Even if the official can't crush people to death, the knife in Cheng Li's hand can definitely kill people. Regarding this point, the two lieutenants, Yu Dayou and Qi Jiliang, have already demonstrated in person.

If you don't obey the military order, you will die immediately. Send troops to raid the Japanese Koukou, and there is still a glimmer of life. The situation has evolved to this point, even a fool knows what to choose.

So there is nothing to be done. Even though they knew that most of them were sent to death, the officers of the Xiang Army had no choice but to follow Cheng Li and Yulin Army out of the city to send them to death in the end.

Despite the darkness of the night, the 4,000 men marched at breakneck speed. But in about half an hour, they had already arrived at Jiangjiazhuang Ferry.

During this period, the two lieutenants, Yu Dayou and Qi Jiliang, have been urging the army to collect all kinds of materials in order to build a pontoon bridge. In order to be able to quickly cross the river in the event of a counteroffensive in the future. All the materials have been roughly prepared, but the two lieutenants may not have expected that they could not wait for the day of the counterattack, and they lost their heads first.

Even so, the materials prepared in advance were not wasted. Still piled up at the Jiangjiazhuang ferry. When the night raiders arrived at the ferry, they quickly regained all the material and immediately began to build pontoons.

Another half an hour, the pontoon bridge was built. Cheng Li took the lead, rode the dragon horse "Taifu", and was the first to step on the pontoon bridge and gallop towards the opposite bank. Guan'er led the people of the Demon Sanctuary to follow. This was followed by a front team and a squadron composed mainly of the Xiang Army. The rear team composed mainly of the Yulin Army was broken at the end of the line.

Half an hour later, the night raid team successfully crossed the river and set foot at the Tanjiazhuang ferry. After the attack that night, the Japanese who were stationed here fled one after another, and did not send any more men to clean up the mess.

Therefore, this place still maintains the appearance of the past after a great war. As far as the eye could see, there were all the ruins and ruins that had been burned by the fire. Occasionally, there is a charred corpse with a widow. In the moonlight, everything looks weird and distorted, like a ghost realm.

The soldiers of the army are full of blood, and they have all killed people, and they have murderous aura in their bodies. In addition, there are many people, so they are not afraid of any ghosts at all, and there are no taboos. However, the most terrible thing in this world will never be a ghost, it will only be a person!

"Boom!"

There was a roar without warning, and it exploded suddenly. In the midst of the loud explosion, a blazing flame like a spiritual snake and a giant python rushed to the ground. In a moment, the entire Tanjiazhuang had already been surrounded, forming a huge circle of fire, and the surroundings were as bright as day.

In the firelight, everyone saw it clearly. At the entrance of the village in Tanjiazhuang, there seemed to be a large group of figures, just blocking the way of the night attack army. These people are all carrying swords and swords, and they know at a glance that they belong to the martial arts. Among them, the leader exuded a powerful momentum from top to bottom, which made the sergeants and soldiers of the army unexpectedly cringe.

Dongfang Yun, the leader of the beggar gang, the flower monk of Longhua Temple, Shangguan Feipeng, the head of the Kunlun faction, Qing Lingzi, the head of the Kongtong faction, the head of the Emei faction, Bai Yunjian, and the head of the Qingcheng faction, why not accept it. In addition, there are disciples of the five families such as the Beggar Gang, Kunlun, Kongtong, Emei, and Qingcheng, with a total of more than 100 people. Everyone has knives and guns in their hands, and they look murderous.

Cheng Li's expression was calm and he rode out. shouted to these martial arts people who were blocking the way: "Dongfang Gang Leader, Master Hua, what do you want to do with these people from Kunlun Kongtong Qingcheng Emei?"

Dongfang Yun, the leader of the beggar gang, took a step forward and said in a condensed voice: "Master Chengzhuang, you are leading the troops to go to Fairy Town late at night, but there is something I don't understand. There are nearly 40,000 people on the other side of Fairy Town. Under the command of Cheng Zhuang, there were only 4,000 soldiers. Most of them are hardly elite. With one enemy against a hundred, wouldn't it be a sheep into the mouth of a tiger? Master Cheng Zhuang wouldn't be so unwise, right?"

Cheng Li said coldly: "This is a military secret, and the details of it are inconvenient to disclose to outsiders." ”

"What kind of military secrets? It's just nonsense! Hmph, Cheng Li, your mind is simply Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it. As long as the last few thousand soldiers available in Yangzhou City are all buried in the hands of the Japanese Invaders, then you can smoothly and smoothly give the entire Yangzhou City to the Japanese Invaders. You're trading that for your own glory and wealth, isn't it?!"

Shangguan Feipeng, the head of the Kunlun faction, was covered with frost. Pressing his hand on the hilt of his sword, he shouted and scolded: "Cheng Li, you spy of the Japanese Bandits! You are embarrassed to pretend and play yourself as if you are some kind of person with lofty ideals." Phew, it's disgusting!"

Bai Yunjian, the head of the Emei faction, sighed: "Master Chengzhuang, with what you did in the past, it is really hard to believe that you will be a spy who colludes with the Japanese Kou. But today's actions of Master Cheng, no matter how you look at it, are indeed incomprehensible. I also asked the owner of Cheng Zhuang to explain one or two, so as to relieve the doubts in our hearts, so as not to make the relatives painful and the enemies happy. ”

Cheng Li snorted coldly and shouted, "I see." Do you think I'm a spy of the Japanese Bandits, and I deliberately sent them to death in order to push these thousands of soldiers to death?"

Qing Lingzi, the head of the Kongtong faction, also sighed: "We don't want to believe that this is the truth, but what Master Cheng Zhuang did...... There are indeed doubts. ”

Why don't you accept it from the head of the Qingcheng faction, and said in a deep voice: "Master Cheng, as long as you explain things clearly, you can prove your innocence." Then I apologize to you immediately. But if you can't explain it clearly, hmph, then I'm sorry, I'm going to offend this pair of dragon and tiger swords!"

"Explain, hmph, what are you, why are you asking me for an explanation?"

Cheng Li sat firmly on the horse's back, looked down at everyone condescendingly, and snorted disdainfully. "From now on, I'll count from one to ten." If you don't get out of the way after counting, then don't blame me for being unkind. Whoever dares to continue to stand in the way will be regarded as a rebellion, and there will be no mercy for killing!

Cheng Li's tough attitude not only failed to scare the leaders who stood in the way, but only made them more convinced that Cheng Li had a ghost in his heart, and colluded with the Japanese to send the army into the ghost gate.

The Qingcheng faction, which has the title of "Bashu Unparalleled", why not accept it, let out a light sigh, and take the lead in drawing the sword out of the sheath.

This is a long and a short double sword, the right hand long sword is four feet long, the blade body is narrow and long, the whole body is covered with a golden brilliance, and the sword body is engraved with two seal characters of "dragon thorn" near the handle swallow. The left hand short sword is only about two feet, the blade is wide and thick like a knife, the handguard and the swallow mouth become a tiger head relief, engraved with the word "tiger pi".

The dragon and tiger double sword is said to be the magic weapon used by Zhang Tianshi to subdue demons and eliminate demons. At the same time, it is also the most valuable holy relic of the Qingcheng faction that has been passed down from generation to generation. At this moment, why not put away the double swords and hang on the ground, naturally standing without a frame, but it already looks imposing.

Shangguan Feipeng, the head of the Kunlun faction, drew his sword in the second. I saw that the gauntlet and the handle of this sword were all in the shape of wings of a bird. The end of the hilt is shaped like a bird's beak, but it is the ancestor of the Kunlun faction, and the god weapon held by the old man of the heavenly bird to defend the way to eliminate demons: the Yuke Sword.

At this moment, Shangguan Feipeng is holding a sword in his hand, and he is the only luck. Immediately, half a foot of golden light appeared on the sword, as if it were as brilliant as the rising sun. It is the sword path that the swordsman dreams of - the sword! There are swords and swords complementing each other, even if it is only a wooden sword, it can cut gold and jade, and sharpen iron like clay. What's more, the Yuke Sword itself is a rare weapon in the world. The sword and the sword are so powerful that they can't be overstated.

Kongtong sent Qing Lingzi, seeing that the matter had come to this point, there was no room for recovery. There was a resolute expression between his eyebrows, and when he touched his waist with both hands, he found a pair of daggers that were only seven inches long and shining silver.

The Kongtong faction is known as "a hundred rivers return to the sea", and is good at "flower method", and his disciples are careful to study all kinds of different weapons, not only good at swordsmanship. But no matter what weapon in the world, its basic function is only a few kinds of piercing, cutting, tearing, etc. Therefore, in the hands of a real weapon master, only a pair of daggers is needed to simulate the moves of almost all weapons in the world.

The pair of "Xuantian daggers" held by Qing Lingzi are the relics handed down by the ancestor of Kongtong Kaishan. Not only is it extremely sharp, but it also has the original "Xuantian Twelve Styles" according to the characteristics of the dagger itself, which specializes in breaking all kinds of swordsmanship in the world.

The three major leaders have all shown their determination with practical actions. The head of the Emei faction, Bai Yunjian, is of course no exception. He sighed abruptly, turned his hand and took a mouthful of snow-white from his back, only the hilt of the sword was as red as fire, and at first glance, it looked like a four-foot long sword like a lamp and candle. It is the token of the head of Emei "Burning the Ancient Sword of Lights".

Bai Yunjian drew his sword out of its sheath, but instead of putting it down, he turned the long sword upside down and put the hilt into the scabbard. The machine in the sheath was activated, and immediately made a soft sound of "da~", and the hilt of the sword was tightly fastened. In this way, the sheath with the sword, which is eight feet long, seems to form a strange-shaped long soldier.

The Emei faction is not only good at swordsmanship, but also good at guns and sticks. On that day in Baiyujing, Lianchenghuo, known as the "first master of the meritorious family", was the first to devote himself to the Emei school of learning and laid a solid foundation, so he was able to create his own "Liancheng marksmanship" later.

But in fact, Lianchenghuo only apprenticed for two years, and then left Emei and turned to Kunlun and Kongtong. Therefore, the highest mastery of the Emei faction, Lianchenghuo failed to learn.

On the most Emei swordsmanship, it is none other than the "Burning Lamp Swordsmanship". On the most Emei marksmanship, the "Shenlong Eight Guns" is the first. Between this marksmanship and this swordsmanship, each is good at winning, and it is difficult to distinguish between the superior. But if you can combine guns and swords, you will become the supreme Zhenshan mastery of Emei: the Golden Dome Sword. Although the name is a sword, it actually combines the advantages of the two great skills of the gun and sword, plus the sword move, the sword makes the marksmanship unpredictable and more powerful.

The four major leaders have all moved their weapons. Dongfang Yun, the leader of the beggar gang, also waved the dog beating stick in his hand and threw a stick flower. The two stunts of the beggars gang are the dog stick method and the dragon fighting. The latter is masculine to rigid, and there is no one in the world who can be beaten. The law of beating the dog stick is light and flexible, and it wins by clever changes, and it is just the two extremes of rigidity and softness to fight with the dragon.

The "Seven Wonderful Monks" were flower monks, but they did not carry any weapons. His right index and middle fingers were gently placed together like a flower, and he was smiling, as if he was deeply pleased to understand the Dharma. Such a situation is the "flower finger" in the seventy-two stunts of Longhua Temple.

According to the legend of Buddhism from generation to generation, when the world was honored at the Lingshan meeting, the golden Polo flowers were displayed all over the people. Everyone was silent, only Venerable Ka Ye smiled. Knowing that the Buddha had comprehended the Dharma, he said, "I have the Dharma Eye, the Nirvana Wonderful Heart, the Reality without Appearance, the Subtle Method, the Text, and the Teachings. Instructed Mahakalpa. ”

Later generations based on this legend created this stunt "Flower Finger". Although the shot is plain and elegant, it is not mixed with the slightest domineering. But he can inadvertently defeat the enemy. The power is not inferior to the domineering King Kong one-finger Zen.

The six masters are ready to go. The look between Cheng Li's eyebrows couldn't help but become serious. You must know that these six masters are not easy to match. Once they go all out, it will not be difficult for this Tanjiazhuang to be overturned. Coupled with the more than 100 disciples under their command, although it is impossible to kill all 4,000 troops, once the war starts, no matter whether it wins or loses, it will be an extremely serious blow to the morale of their side.

Cheng Li snorted softly, suddenly raised his right hand, and shouted, "Cheng Weibo!"

Cheng Weibo, the deputy general of the Yulin Army, immediately came out of the crowd. He said in a deep voice: "The subordinates are here." ”

Cheng Li said slowly: "From now on, you will lead the army instead of General Ben, and everything will be done according to the plan, and there must be no mistakes." If there is any mistake, bring your own head to see it. ”

Cheng Weibo did not hesitate and said loudly: "The subordinates receive the order." Rest assured, general. ”

Cheng Li bowed slightly, and shouted again: "Guan'er." You led everyone in the hall to protect the Dharma for the deputy general. It is important to ensure that the troops arrive at their destination safely. ”

Guan'er also put on a military uniform, looking heroic. She nodded vigorously and said, "Yes." Brother Cheng, don't worry. With me here, these thousands of people guarantee that many of them can reach their intended destination safely. ”

Cheng Li smiled at her as a sign of encouragement. Then he turned over and dismounted, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly towards the six masters directly opposite, his face suddenly sank, and he shouted: "Leave it for me." The voice has not yet fallen, and there has already been a slight pause under his feet.

In an instant, a large area of black qi spread in all directions with the momentum of an avalanche, instantly forming a supernormal gravity cage, enveloping the six masters and their disciples.

Hundreds of people sank when they boarded, and they felt like Mount Tai was pressing on the top, making their muscles and bones gurgle. Many disciples whose cultivation was slightly inferior immediately couldn't support it and fell to their knees on the spot.

At the same time, Cheng Weibo shouted and led the army to advance at full speed. Thousands of military horses were like a tide, whistling past the six masters who could not move and their disciples, and in the blink of an eye, they had already rushed out of Tanjiazhuang, galloping in the direction of Fairy Town, where the base camp of the Japanese Kou was located.

"Jizo Tribulation" - gravity control! This is Cheng Li's unique supernatural ability as a robber. From the time he first awakened, he had already mastered this skill. As his cultivation deepened, he evolved from the first awakening to the fourth awakening, and his control over gravity also increased.

Before the third awakening, Cheng Li's strongest could only be increased to ten times the gravity. To raise gravity upwards again, you'll need to equip the Dark Body. If you go all out and launch the Fourth Awakening in the form of Dark Titan, then thirty times or even forty times the supernormal gravity can also be activated.

After detailed research, it was found that it was most appropriate to maintain the gravitational field at about ten times.

First, ten times the burden of gravity on oneself is exactly on a critical line. It can suppress the enemy without consuming too much physical strength. Second, for martial artists below the Extreme Yuan Realm, ten times the gravity is already a heavy burden that they can't bear. Going up again, unless you want to kill, there is no point.

But if it is really an Extreme Yuan Martial Artist, then with the ability of Extreme Yuan, not only can he control the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, but also become a small world of his own. Changes in the external gravitational field have only a very slight effect on them and cannot have a decisive effect. Therefore, a gravitational field of more than ten times is also of little significance.

Tonight, the same is true in Tanjiazhuang. Under the shroud of the tenfold gravity field, the group of roadblockers led by the heads of the four major sword sects and the six masters such as Dongfang Yun and Monk Lihua were already unable to move and could no longer stop the army's attack. In desperation, everyone could only watch as these thousands of military horses rushed into the darkness and rushed to the battlefield of the decisive battle against the Japanese - of course, it is also very likely, it is not a battlefield, but a cemetery!

That's it. Speaking of which, the six masters and their disciples came here tonight, not because of any selfish motives, but on the contrary, they were just the same, with a good heart to defend the right and the way.

Therefore, Cheng Li was unwilling to kill the killers when there was still room for choice, so he took their lives. As long as they stay here and continue to maintain the existence of the paragravity field, these people will not be able to go anywhere.

As for the Yulin Army and the Xiang Army, with Cheng Weibo and Guan'er taking care of them, even if there is an accident, it is enough to deal with it. It should not be a problem to successfully complete the strategic intention set by Cheng Li in advance.

But when things don't go as expected in the world, they are often eight or nine out of ten. Accidents often erupt just when you think things are settled.

Under the suppression of the tenfold gravity field, the six masters and the more than 100 disciples under their command could no longer maintain a normal standing posture and had to bend their knees. However, all of a sudden, a very strange roar erupted wildly in the gravity cage.

The roar is not only like a dragon's roar, but also like a tiger's roar, and it is a mixture of dragon and tiger's roar. The person who made such a strange horn sound was none other than the head of the Qingcheng faction, why didn't the "Dragon and Tiger Swordsman" accept it! In the midst of the roar, he gritted his teeth, opened his angry eyes, and slowly stood up from the ground, straightening his body like a sharp sword. A blazing bright light burst through the body, rushing straight into the deep night sky, and then forming a gossip pattern. In the center of the graphic is a clear word: Open!

The bizarre scenes, the surging sense of oppression, everything is not unfamiliar, and even gives people an extremely familiar feeling. Cheng Li took a deep breath and said in a condensed voice: "Fusang's Eight Gate Dunjia?"

"I can't think of it, Cheng Li, you spy who colluded with Fusang and betrayed the Central Plains! The Bamen Dunjia mentality has been practiced by the Fusang people, and we Central Plains martial artists have even more practice. Today, we will use the tricks of the Fusang people to ruthlessly clean up your spy who colluded with Fusang! This is called the cycle of heavenly principles, and the retribution is not happy!"

The malicious answer full of hatred did not come from the mouth of the head of the Qingcheng faction, but from Shangguan Feipeng, the head of the Kunlun faction. He also stood up slowly with a wicked smile, and another pillar of sky-high light erupted from his body, which was no different from the head of Qingcheng, and it was also the opening of the Eight Gates Dunjia.

In fact, even the heads of the Kongtong and Emei factions, plus the leaders of the beggar gang and the flower monks, the six masters, without exception, all launched the power of the "Eight Gate Dunjia."

The mystery of "Eight Gates Dunjia" lies in thoroughly tapping the potential of the human body, and at the same time breaking the limitations set by the body in ordinary times for self-protection.

For example, a person would have had a few hundred pounds of strength to break a solid stone with one punch. But at the same time, this reckless all-out move will also lead to injuries to this hilarious fist and arm. In severe cases, even bones can shatter. Therefore, in order to protect themselves, ordinary people instinctively do not use this kind of force that exceeds the safe range and will hurt themselves.

However, after the launch of the "Eight Gate Dunjia", this restriction was lifted. As a result, cultivators are able to unleash powerful attacks that exceed their normal range. Even if the result is death, it will not be spared.

Of course, the exploration of potential and breaking self-limitation is also carried out in stages, and it is impossible to push the power to the limit at the beginning. Therefore, the eight doors of Dunjia are divided into eight gates.

Opening one door and two doors is completely affordable for a master of the level of the head of the Seven Great Sword Sects. It must be opened above the fourth gate to truly cause irreparable damage to the body.

With the power given by the first door of the "Eight Gates" A "Open the Door", the six masters can resist the suppression of the tenfold gravity field. But to move freely in this gravitational field, it is still a little reluctant. It was easy to say that it was too late and that time was fast, and the six masters who were also aware of this situation gritted their teeth one after another, and shouted in unison: "Hugh the door, open!"

"Boom Boom~~"

The loud explosion was earth-shattering, and the pillars of light on the six masters became higher and brighter in response, and the core of the gossip graphics that emerged in the light was also switched to the word "Hugh". Immediately afterwards, the momentum of the six masters skyrocketed again, not to mention that the gravity shackles on their bodies were regarded as nothing, like wolves and tigers, and suddenly rushed towards Cheng Li in the air.

"Cheng Li, come on! Next year, today will be your death taboo!"
