Chapter 42: The End of the War
The taste of blood.
The smell of blood that kept pouring out from outside the hall and inside the hall, mixed with the smell of incense burning in the hall, formed a special sweet smell, which was constantly stimulating Sima Qing's fragile nerves.
Sima Qing stood anxiously in the side hall, and the voice of Xiao Zhi and Xiao Yan next to the side hall became weaker and weaker, like a drop of water, which had long been buried in the ruthless torrent of weapon collision. She couldn't see the battle between the two outside, but her heart couldn't help but beat wildly because of the fierce clash of swords and the heavy smell of blood.
Knock knock knock...... Knock knock knock......
Is the king hurt? Is the king all right?
Is this trembling feeling war?
There was another muffled sound and something tearing. Sima Qing couldn't bear it anymore, and walked quickly towards the outside of the hall with his feet raised.
Fang Fei, who was waiting beside her, quickly stopped in front of her and whispered, "Queen Niangniang, don't be reckless." β
"Let me go, I'm going to be uncomfortable." The strong smell of blood made Sima Qing more and more nervous and afraid, she breathed desperately, trying to calm herself, "I don't worry about the king, I'm going to see him." β
"Now the inside and outside of the palace are all in a fight, and the outcome is unpredictable, and the king has specially instructed you to stay in the side hall and not go anywhere." Fang Fei comforted, "The king is the Son of Heaven, and the true dragon blesses him, so nothing will happen." β
As he was talking, several hidden weapons flew over from an unknown place, Sima Qing screamed in fright, Fang Fei's eyes were quick, and Yun Gong reached out to knock it down. He hurriedly took Sima Qing to squat under the soft collapse to hide his traces, and said with a smile, "There is only a wall between the queen and the king, and you can be regarded as accompanying the king, as long as you take care of yourself." β
Sima Qing looked at Fang Fei's smiling appearance, which was quite similar to Xiao Zhi's usual appearance, and couldn't help but think of Xiao Zhi's voice and appearance, words and deeds.
His husband can be trusted, he is a gentle and powerful person, even if he really loses, he has no regrets when he accompanies him. Thinking of this, Sima Qing suddenly felt a lot more relieved, slowly sat down on the ground, and said while arranging her clothes, "You are right, I want to believe him, thank you, Miss Fangfei." β
Fang Fei looked at Sima Qing's little person, in the center of such a dangerous battlefield, pretending to be calm, and she couldn't let go of some pity. "Don't worry, the queen will protect you."
"I'm a queen, and I have to be like a queen at all times." Sima Qing, who calmed down, had a firm look in her eyes, but said a little lonely, "Steady and old, not surprised by changes, is what a queen should be." β
Fang Fei looked at Sima Qing's solemn appearance, as if she had been pricked by a needle in her heart, and felt a little painful.
In the hall, Xiao Zhi and Xiao Yan have been fighting for several rounds, under the mention of Song Qinglian, Xiao Zhen's Dao has grown a lot, the fire path is used freely, coupled with the blessing of refining stones, the skill is further improved, and the red light lingers around Xiao Zhi's body, like a powerful barrier - this is the way to resist things, and it requires a deep Dao Qi and skilled control of the Dao to learn the profound Dao technique, which is no longer a Dao technique that ordinary Dao attainers can master, even Xiao Yan secretly marveled.
The second child has made rapid progress, and in less than a few years, he has not only touched the threshold of Taoism, but also proficiently used difficult techniques such as the way to reach things.
Xiao Zhen, how much more do you have that I don't know? Is it really hidden?
Xiao Yan thought about it, while trying his best to avoid Xiao Zhi's attack, Xiao Zhi's sword was fast and dense, and the moves were weird, to be precise, there were no tricks - this is Xiao Zhi's experience when he was a thief in his previous life, and it can be summed up in three words: "fast, accurate, and ruthless".
As long as you can hit the target, you can do anything.
Under Xiao Zhen's somewhat messy offensive style, Xiao Yan was a little overwhelmed, and gradually changed from active offense to defense. As long as you delay the time and wait for Sun Fei to come to support with the Praetorian Guards, everything will be settled.
It seems that this competition can't end too soon, Xiao Yan thought, took a few steps back, and distanced himself from Xiao Zhen.
Xiao Zhi smiled and looked at Xiao Yan with a provocative gaze, "What, has you reached the limit?" Cowhide said so big, I didn't expect this to be the ability. β
"Where, where." Xiao Yan replied, "To be honest, I really didn't expect that the dignified king of a country would sneak and play tricks like a scoundrel, unruly, I really don't know how the master teaches him on weekdays." β
"Martial arts, Taoism, these things, but they are all murderous things, indiscriminate things, what are you paying attention to." Xiao Zhi smiled, with a little more fierceness in his eyes, "I've always done things by unscrupulous means, but you don't know." β
"Each other, each other."
There was a muffled sound, and the two started a new round of competition.
Outside the Shenwu Gate, Luo Shi was anxiously waiting for reinforcements with a team of men and horses.
Luo Shi thought, someone just came to report the news, Sun Fei, Tai Hengyu is escorting Wu Haoze, with people and horses, is coming to the palace, calculate the time, it is almost here, and he should be ready to end. So he gathered the patrol guards in the palace, and there were more than sixty people, large and smallβmost of these people were Cao Ze's henchmen, and they had a good personal relationship with Sun Fei on weekdays. Luo Shi drew his sword in his hand and shouted: "Someone is messing with the palace, let's go to the rescue!" β
"Help?" Suddenly, someone in the distance whispered, "Are you just afraid that you are going to harm the driver?" β
Luo Shi was taken aback, and when he looked back, from the steps behind the Shenwu Gate, a person walked out, wearing armor, holding a long sword, majestic, his deep facial features looked a little more chilly, and his sharp eyes looked straight at Luo Shi, with a leisurely and complacent look, as if a wild wolf was looking at his prey, needless to say, it was Wu Haoze.
Why is Wu Haoze here, shouldn't he have been arrested? Luo Shi felt that the matter was not trivial, and was about to turn around and flee, Wu Haoze waved his arms and shouted: "Take it with me." β
"Yes", echoed the heavens and the earth, resounding over the palace. From the three major halls of Qingyu, Zhonghe, and Baohe, there was a team with a sword out of the sheath, a bow wound, a spear with a flash, and a clear flag and armor, and this team had more than 500 people. They descended the steps, but instead of attacking immediately, they quickly formed a square formation and drove calmly and calmly towards the stunned Luo Shi and his gang.
Looking at this well-trained Praetorian Iron Army, the guards who rebelled from thieves in Miyagi suddenly broke up the camp; Some abandoned their swords and fled, while others knelt down and surrendered. Luo Shi's face turned pale, he drew his sword in his hand, and wiped it towards his neck. Suddenly, a carved arrow flew over with a "squeak", hitting him in the wrist, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a snort.
Before Luo Shi could react, he saw that Wu Haoze had already approached with a knife, his hand was up and down, blood gushed out, and Luo Shi fell unconscious in a pool of blood.
"Since I want to die, it's better to die under my sword, so that I will be happier." Wu Haoze smiled and licked the blood dripping from the sword, "After all, you are my prey." β
Seeing that the guards who participated in the rebellion fell one after another, Wu Haoze settled down and marched quickly to the Taihe Hall with the Praetorian Guards.
In Sima's mansion, the battle between the two sides had been going on for several hours.
Su Wan used Dao techniques to build water walls, combined with Shen Lian's Thunder Dao, to block several rounds of attacks from the soldiers in a row, but it was also quite laborious.
The rest of the enlightened people rushed forward in the gap, all of them were blocked by the huge figure, and they mustered up all their strength, and did not attack their vital points, but only slapped them out of the distance, several people were feeling strange, and suddenly felt an abnormal movement above their heads, and when they looked up, they saw that the short figure of Wei Qiao flashed by, and a large net suddenly fell down, just in the middle. This net is made of a three-in-one precision of gold wire, human hair and Ning Ma, and when it falls into the net, even if the enlightened people have great skills, they cannot be used. Several people struggled left and right, only to shrink and tighten. More than a dozen guards rushed up, punching and kicking. They had already been beaten unconscious.
Although Su Wan and Shen Lian are profound, they are also vivid and beautiful. But Cao Ze had more soldiers, and they were well-equipped and well-trained, which the guards of Sima Mansion could not compare with in any case.
Cao Ze's subordinates had the ability to adapt to danger, and they were blocked several times without being discouraged. The generals at the head organized the next assault in an orderly manner.
"What to do? I can't hold on like this. Seeing that more and more guards had fallen in Sima Mansion, Su Wan gritted her teeth and said.
"Don't worry, capture the thief and capture the king first." Shen Lian comforted, "When Song Qinglian subdues Cao Ze, everything will be easy to say." β
After hundreds of rounds of fighting with Song Qinglian, Cao Ze gradually became a little powerless, and his Dao power was also exhausted, he had long heard that the Tai Hospital Song Taiyi was profound, and he was fighting with him today, only to know that it was not only profound, but also a little incomprehensible to his path.
His own Bagua Palm, combined with ten percent of Dao power, hit him several times, but it didn't seem to hurt him at all. His own tricks were gradually seen through by him - he even had a slight upper hand in the head-to-head battle between the two before, and he couldn't even touch a single hair of him in these rounds.
Cao Ze was a little annoyed, the soldiers and Dao Attainers he brought were twice as many as Sima Mansion's, and it took so long to get out. Think about it, I still don't know where Xiao Zhi is, in the palace? Or have you fled somewhere to hide? The top priority is to find Xiao Zhen and kill him immediately, otherwise the longer it drags on, the more detrimental it will be to itself.
Thinking of this, Cao Ze fixed his mind and gathered all the remaining Dao power in his palm, and the gathered Dao power burst out with dazzling golden light and strong air currents, sweeping away the surrounding grass, trees, sand and stones to form a huge wind vortex that reached the sky, and accelerated the speed of the attack. Song Qinglian was unhurried to accept the moves, looking like he was enjoying it.
This last trick is a big deal! Cao Ze thought.
