Chapter 21: Halfway to Interception

They gathered their minds, clenched their long knives, and no longer dared to have any contempt, they glanced at each other and quickly rushed towards Su Ye.

The two people of the seventh order of the warrior rolled out close to the ground, the double knives were staggered, the knives were vertical and horizontal, and they cut Su Ye's legs straight down, and the two bodies of the eighth order of the warrior jumped in the air, and the long knife slashed angrily in the air, and the knife slashed Su Ye's left and right shoulders with the momentum of thunder, but it was a four-way flank attack method.

Su Ye guessed that if it wasn't for the early death of the previous person, I am afraid that there would be an assassination technique in the middle of the chest and abdomen.

Five-way pinching attack, close cooperation, these five people came in an extremely unusual way, and the combined strength is difficult to resist even if it is a person in the innate realm.

Su Ye looked at the four of them awe-inspiringly, his right foot quickly turned in a semicircle on the ground, his body was like a spiral, spinning and jumping, breaking away from the chain and slashing towards the double knife under his plate, at the same time, his body was in the air, the long sword was quickly sealed horizontally in his chest, the sword light flowed, and the two long knives that were slashed in the air were blocked with a 'zheng' sound.

The moment he dissolved the power of the long knife slash, Su Ye took advantage of the situation, and the black sword cut out an arc in the void, with a sharp sword light, and as his body brushed the moment between the two swords, he cut off the right arm of the two holding the knife.

Then, the moment his body hit the ground, he rushed forward violently, past the corner of the exit.

In the midst of blood and screams, he scumbled his sword on the ground, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when a killing intent like a needle in his vest suddenly swooped in.

Su Ye's heart was shocked, and he didn't have time to turn around, his body instantly fell to the ground, the black sword in his hand flickered, his backhand stabbed back, his legs stared back, and he slid forward a foot away.

The pain in his back hit him, and he gritted his teeth and rolled over, quickly standing up, looking at the position where he had slipped earlier.

I saw a middle-aged man standing there with a long knife, staring at the blood stains on the blade in his hand with some regret: "I can't kill you like this, it seems that Shen Lian didn't put a lot of effort into running this trip to find you." ”

"Innate realm!" Shu Ye was shocked in his heart, and his body was dripping with cold sweat.

He didn't expect that the final killing move had been hidden at the exit, and the attack of the five people was just to force themselves to the corner of the exit and enter the man's ambush position.

Su Ye didn't expect that the slightest negligence in his heart almost cost him his life.

He bit his lip and touched his back with his backhand, but he saw that it was full of blood, and the middle-aged man's knife, although it did not hurt his bones, had greatly reduced his combat strength.

Fortunately, the only thing that made him happy was that the five people who attacked him before were now only the weakest two who could still fight, and they did not pose any threat to him.

Su Ye took a deep breath, calmed his mind, tried his best to forget the pain behind him, immersed his body and mind in swordsmanship, and excavated his strength to the extreme.

The cold wind howled, cold as a knife.

Su Ye poured his internal force into the black sword with all his strength, only to see the sword surge, the sword blade trembled, and the humming endlessly.

He held his sword in both hands, staring straight into the void, his breathing becoming unusually heavy.

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, slashed a knife from a zhang away, his body turned into thunder and lightning, and slashed at Shu Ye's chest with all his strength.

The long knife tore through the void, with a terrifying sword, but in an instant, it slashed into three feet in front of Su Ye's body, and in just a moment, it could split his heart and kill him under the knife.

And at this moment, when the blade was getting closer and closer to Su Ye's body.

The middle-aged man's heart suddenly flashed with a trace of fear, and the breath of death emerged from his heart for no reason.

He was stunned for a moment, trying to concentrate on the slightest feeling.

Shu Ye, who was still under Ling Li's knife, suddenly moved.

The long sword in his hand was like a light and shadow, stabbing straight out, incredibly fast, and at the same time, he leaned slightly, let go of the stabbing long sword, dodged the slashing long knife, and staggered past the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man saw a sharp black line pass through his chest, and before he could react, the tearing pain instantly swept through his body.

"This, this ......" he looked at Su Ye with frightened eyes.

I saw that he had already caught the black sword that pierced his chest, slashed through the air, and killed the remaining four people who were stunned.

"You...... You ......" The middle-aged man clutched his bloody chest, knelt on the ground, and stared at Su Ye in disbelief, "You...... You can't have that kind of strength and speed......"

"Nothing is impossible in the world. Su Ye looked at him coldly, "Despise the enemy, you will always pay the price." ”

"This, this...... No way. The man stared and fell to the ground, dead and blind.

Su Ye saw that he had completely lost his breath of life, his mind couldn't help but slowly relax, he collapsed to the ground weakly, his face became extremely pale, his chest rose and fell sharply, his eyes were open, and he looked at the void sky weakly, and he couldn't help but secretly say that he was lucky.

After he was injured, his strength had been greatly reduced, and this 'wind and snow sword' made it extremely reluctant, if it weren't for the other party's carelessness, he couldn't have succeeded with a sword without leaving any backhand.

The cold wind whistled by, freezing to the bone.

Su Ye lay motionless on the ground until an hour later, when he regained a little strength.

He struggled to get up, tore off a piece of the middle-aged man's clean clothes, bandaged his wounds, and then slowly walked towards the battlefield where the Tengyun Legion was stationed.

Leaving the narrow valley and entering the flat and broad avenue, Su Ye traveled north for only two hours before he saw the Tengyun Legion stationed in a large camp.

The whole camp is located on the slope of a main peak of Sixiang Mountain, in front of which is a vast plain, and behind which is a basin surrounded by a valley, and there is a huge waterhole in the basin, which can be the source of drinking water for the whole army.

Su Ye knew that this place was the intersection of the triangle of the Exquisite City to the west and the border of Chu to the south, and the geographical location was extremely important.

The concentration of heavy troops to establish a defensive line here is impeccable in terms of strategic terrain, geographical location, and armor support routes.

If the Meng and Ye tribes want to attack the Chu State, no matter which direction they attack, they will encounter the main force of the entire Tengyun Legion here.

"Sure enough, the Tengyun Legion was able to hold the north for nearly twenty years, ranking among the three major legions of the Chu State, and it was not in vain. Su Ye secretly praised.

He approached the main camp of the Tengyun Legion along the mountain road, showed the token in his arms to the soldiers guarding the camp, and said, "Trouble this big brother to report, I have something urgent to see the general." ”

"You ......" The guard glanced at Su Ye lightly, and was about to scold him to leave, when he suddenly saw that he was covered in blood, and as soon as he changed his words, he couldn't help but take the token slowly, and said lightly, "You wait, I'll report it." ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Su Ye to respond, put down the spear in his hand, and ran straight to the tent of the commander in the mountain.

Su Ye was relieved to see his figure gradually disappearing into the front camp, and couldn't help but stand quietly outside the camp, waiting for the commander of the Tengyun Legion to be summoned by Cheng Qianjun.

The guard disappeared for only a moment, then turned back from the camp tent, opened the camp gate, and said to Shu Ye, "The general has summoned, please come with me." ”

Su Ye nodded, thanked him, and followed him through the major camp tents and walked towards the tent of the commander of the Chinese army in the mountains.

"All the generals in the army are discussing matters in the tent, so go in by yourself. ”

The guard brought Su Ye to the tent, stopped, pointed to the curtain, and turned to leave.

Su Ye answered, handed the black sword in his hand to the warrior holding the sword in front of the tent, opened the tent curtain, and got in.

The handsome tent is very spacious, about three zhang before and after, the ground is flattened, a layer of carpet is spread, there are many people gathered in the tent, all are wearing armor and swords, a military uniform, majestic, in the middle of the tent hall, there is a man with a square face of the national character, the face is full of weather, the man is about fifty years old, wearing armor, is sitting on the handsome chair, frowning, solemn expression.

He seemed to be thinking about something, his index finger clasped on the hilt of the heavy sword in his hand, rising and falling, making the scabbard and blade rustle against the iron.

"This is the commander of the Tengyun Army!" Su Ye stared at the burly man on the handsome chair and said secretly, "It's really a heavy killing aura." ”

"You are the messenger sent by that kid Shen Lian?" Cheng Qianjun glanced at Su Ye lightly and asked.

Seeing that Su Ye answered firmly, he put down the heavy sword in his hand, picked up the token on the table next to him and threw it back to him, and continued to ask, "Why did you come to my Tengyun Legion?"

Su Ye took the token token that Shen Lian gave him, put it back in his arms, and explained the purpose of this trip in detail.

After finishing speaking, he saw that Cheng Qianjun was still hesitant, and couldn't help but present the letter handed to him by Shen Lian before leaving, and said: "The situation in the Exquisite City is already in danger, and I hope that the general can send troops back to help stabilize the safety of the rear." ”

Cheng Qianjun shook off the letter handed over by Su Ye, read it, couldn't help frowning, and asked urgently, "When did these happen?"

"It should have happened two days ago. Su Ye replied in a deep voice, "Now that the Elite City is in danger, I hope the general will make a decision as soon as possible." ”

"It happened two days ago, why did you report it to me today?" Cheng Qianjun was furious, "The danger of defense, how can Shen Lian not know the seriousness?"

Shen Lian used to be a partial general in charge of the defense of the Tengyun Legion, and later the Tengyun Legion went to the border, and in order to ensure the logistics supply of the legion, Cheng Qianjun arranged Shen Lian to the Elite City and made him a refining envoy.

As the saying goes, 'before the army moves, the grain and grass go first', if the back road is cut off, the Tengyun Legion will be cut off from the food and grass, and it will be defeated before the battle.

"Tianyuan Pavilion and the refining workshop have been monitored, and Lord Shen has his difficulties. Su Ye replied.

"Difficulty?" Cheng Qianjun said coldly, "The soldiers in front fought bloodily, which one has no difficulty, he Shen Lianyi delayed the fighter, if he doesn't tell a reason, according to the military law of Chu State, he should be beheaded to show the public!"

"The general wants the reason, doesn't he?" Su Ye tore open his shirt, presented the knife wound on his back to everyone in the tent, and said in a deep voice, "This is the reason." ”

Everyone in the tent suddenly saw Su Ye with a knife wound on his back, and couldn't help but gasp.
