Chapter Eighty-Eight: Officers and Soldiers Abandon the Wharf, Gu Dao Connects Two Prefectures
Between the lightning and the fire, Yi De dived the Xuanyin and returned to the original strength, and the cold and piercing true qi was surging in his body, making his meridians feel bulging.
Just before Yan Gang pounced on Yi De's body, countless cold currents erupted with Yi De's body as the center, forming ice swords one after another, looking from a distance, it was like a crystal clear thousand-petal lotus blooming on the flat ground.
Yan Gang couldn't close the momentum, and plunged into the ice sword bush, and suddenly pierced a hundred holes, screamed, and was killed on the spot.
was caught by Hou Zhigao in the middle of his arm, and he exclaimed sadly: "Brother Yan!" and glared at Hou Zhigao: "General, let me down!"
Although Hou Zhigao didn't look back, he had already guessed the truth from Duan Xun's reaction, and shouted in a deep voice: "Go!"
Duan Xun struggled to break free from Hou Zhigao's shackles, and couldn't help but shout angrily: "General! The three of us once burned yellow paper, cut off chicken heads, and vowed to share the wealth! Have you forgotten?"
Hou Zhigao shouted: "I haven't forgotten! So I want you to live! Now that Brother Yan is dead in battle, we have no possibility of besieging and killing Yi Tianxing, this battle has already been lost! We don't have a chance to leave, so we have to confess here together, do you understand?!"
Duan Xun's eyes widened: "If you want to die, everyone will die together!"
With a snap, Hou Zhigao's backhand was a slap: "We are dead, who will take care of our wives and children......? Hey, you're not going to be so naΓ―ve, are you?!"
Duan Xun thought of some of Dongdong'er's deeds, and suddenly felt a bucket of cold water poured on his head, his blood turned cold, he stared at Yi Tianxing resentfully, and gritted his teeth and said: "I'm unwilling!"
Hou Zhigao said: "Stay in the green mountains, even if there is no firewood?" The sea has been blocked by our sailors, Yi Tianxing and the others are just turtles in the urn, sooner or later, we will take a step back for the time being, and when the Xiaocheng officials and soldiers arrive, we will join forces all the way, and we will definitely be able to kill Yi Tianxing on the spot!"
Duan Xun said: "But in this case, don't we have to make wedding dresses for the officials and soldiers of Xiao Cheng?"
Hou Zhigao sneered: "I have the emperor's order, I can adapt to the situation, mobilize the whole country's soldiers and horses to kill Yi Tianxing, no matter who succeeds, as long as I am present, my credit is indispensable!"
After hearing this, Duan Xun finally recovered from his grief and despair, and secretly breathed to himself: "Got it, General." β
Hou Zhigao nodded, and ran away with Duan Xun all the way.
After hearing Hou Zhigao's order to retreat, the Yamato officers and soldiers guarding the Weiliu wharf moved towards the outside of the wharf one after another, except for a few men and horses who couldn't stop, and Hou Zhigao was good at managing the troops.
However, without masters such as Hou Zhigao and Duan Xun, the balance between the two warring sides at Weiliu Wharf suddenly tilted seriously.
Yi De took advantage of Yu Yong, who had killed Yan Gang, to scream, and with his hands outward, dozens of ice swords broke in unison, sandwiching the bone-piercing cold and scattering in all directions.
In an instant, the space of more than ten zhang outside Yi De's body was shrouded in an invisible cold air, and the Yamato officers and soldiers who were in it only felt that the sky was cold and the ground was frozen, from the surface of the skin to the depths of the heart, it was like falling into an ice cave, the qi and blood were not running well, the joints were stiff like stones, and the movements were much slower.
The eight swordsmen who surrounded and suppressed Yi De had an ominous premonition in their hearts, and they all urged their true qi to resist the cold, and at the same time retreated, but the distance between them and Yi De was too close, and the ice sword flew out, as fast as thunder, and their body movements were blocked by the cold qi, which caused the speed of the ice sword to shoot completely beyond their reaction range, and they could only wield the steel knife with all their strength to protect their bodies.
With the screams repeatedly, four of the eight swordsmen were pierced by the ice sword and died on the spot, and the other two were seriously injured and lay on the ground convulsively, unable to get up, and the remaining two were also bloodied and embarrassed.
Yi De's eyes were cold, and with a knife in both hands, he sent a half-arc from the top of his head, slashing at a lightly injured knifeman.
Although the swordsman's martial arts are good, but he lost the advantage of joining forces, and the gap with Yi De was judged, just raised his hand, he was slashed obliquely from the shoulder to the chest by Yi De, the knife marks were deep to the bones, and the internal organs were mixed with blood and gushing like a spring.
The remaining lightly injured swordsman was stunned for a moment, let out an earth-shattering roar, and raised his knife to kill Yi De, but Yi De's knife flashed, and the last shot came first, and his neck had been cut.
On the other side, Gu Lingyan already had the upper hand, and when he saw this, he was even more refreshed, and with a long roar, the giant axe turned into a heavy hammer and fell from the sky, smashing into the twelve swordsmen who were besieging him.
Although the twelve swordsmen were at a disadvantage, their positions were not chaotic, and they shouted in unison: "The Golden Wheel locks the sky!" The twelve golden rays of light were like rainbows, staggered to form a network of light, blocking the top of their heads, but this time Gu Lingyan was ruthless, and the axes were cut down one after another, endlessly, as if they could split the earth and the heavens were desolate.
The internal strength of the twelve swordsmen was always not as long and strong as Gu Lingyan, and they barely supported five or six breaths, and then they screamed at the same time, spitting blood from their mouths, and even leaned back with knives.
Gu Lingyan snorted, and the shadow of the axe in the sky condensed into a cold light, slashing at a swordsman, cutting it in half on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Lingyan moved his axe like the wind and opened a killing ring, and the remaining eleven swordsmen were exhausted, and they were broken out of the knife formation, almost without the strength to fight back, and they were all killed by Gu Lingyan after a few symbolic knife blocks.
With a long breath, Gu Lingyan only felt a wave of fatigue in his body, his rain slash was the most advantageous group attack, but it was also extremely energy-consuming, it was purely a trick to reduce ten times with one force, in a short period of time, he split more than three hundred axes with all his strength, even with his deep internal strength, he couldn't help but feel overdrawn.
At this time, the Yamato officers and soldiers had already withdrawn from the Weiliu Wharf, and after Yi Tianxing instructed the remaining clansmen of the merchant to go to the beach to standby, he slowly walked to Gu Lingyan and handed over an elixir: "Recover as soon as possible, there is still a big battle on the sea." β
Gu Lingyan grabbed the pill, swallowed it in one gulp, patted his chest, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your seventh uncle is beaten with iron, and there is no problem in fighting for three days and three nights!"
Yi Tianxing rolled his eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to Gu Lingyan's boasting, and strode to Yi De's side: "Are you okay?"
Yi De also overused his true qi, his face turned pale, his breathing was much heavier, he tightened the steel knife in his hand when he heard this, and said with a reluctant smile: "I can still fight." β
Yi Tianxing looked at Yi De's complexion, frowned, and said, "Don't hold on! How can I explain to your brother if you die?" β
Yi De took the pill and took it, and then said with a wry smile: "The sea is full of Dongdong'er's doglegs, and the merchant's ships have no hope, and there is no difference in recovering wealth." β
"Fart!" Yi Tianxing raised his eyebrows, pointed at Yi De and scolded: "I don't know how your brother taught you! You are also a person who has led soldiers to fight, so it is better to give up so easily, you might as well hang yourself early! So as not to harm others and yourself! No matter how embarrassing the situation in this world is, until the last moment, there will always be variables, it depends on whether you can find and grasp it! But as long as you are discouraged and desperate, and you give up the opportunity to survive in a desperate situation, it will block all the variables and vitality, and there is only a dead end left!"
Yi De smiled bitterly: "Now that we have no way forward, and there are pursuers behind us, can we fly from here to Shenzhou?"
Yi Tianxing cut off disdainfully: "Boy, you show me a good look, for your brother's sake, I will teach you a trick for free." β
Yi De was curious, but he couldn't figure out where Yi Tianxing's confidence came from: "What is it?"
Yi Tianxing replied to the question: "I am not good at water. β
Yi De's heart was cold, and he sighed: "Then you dare to say that there is no problem with crossing the sea?"
Yi Tianxing glanced at him: "If you can't swim, you must not be able to cross the sea?"
Yi De said: "That's not true, but your so-called lack of water is not only that you can't swim, right?
Yi Tianxing replied as he walked to the beach: "I don't know how to operate a boat at all. β
Yi De's chest was blocked, and he said in his heart, you dare to brag like this, but he already had the heart to fight to the death, but he was not disappointed, he just smiled indifferently, and took care of his own pranayama to return to the source and recover his strength.
Yi Tianxing smiled narrowly: "Are you already speechless for me?"
Yi De almost scolded, but held back his anger and said, "I just can't guess Brother Tianxing's clever plan." β
Yi Tianxing looked at the sea and said leisurely: "Actually, what I want to tell you is that I am not used to leaving my fate in the hands of others, since I don't know how to be water-based, then I will definitely leave a back-up move to ensure that I withdraw to Shenzhou when there is no ship to use." β
Yi De was surprised: "How is this possible? Although the trench between Shenzhou and Weizhou is not far away, it is still almost impossible to cross from the bottom of the sea with your breath closed. β
Yi Tianxing spat angrily: "Nonsense, the trench is bottomless, can I still get up if I sink?" said and laughed loudly: "Everyone, when I pave the way, you will follow behind Gu Daxia and hurry forward and pass as soon as possible." For the interception of the Weizhou Naval Division, try to dodge and don't entangle. β
The Shang family and Mu Gongzhi looked back in amazement and looked at Yi Tianxing: "What?"
Yi Tianxing's face was full of smiles: "Everyone is ready to charge, and the work of building bridges and paving roads will be handed over to me." As he spoke, he strode forward, stepped out of the crowd, stood at the dock mooring, looked down at the sea, pinched the trick with both hands, and said something in his mouth.
Gu Lingyan held the giant axe, swung it twice in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, although I don't know how Yi Tianxing made the passage, but now that we have no choice, please follow Yi Tianxing's instructions to prepare." β
Mu Gong stroked his beard and smiled: "The old man has nothing to worry about, he can do anything." β
Yi De flicked the steel knife in his hand lightly, and sang with a long roar: "The man straddles the horse, let the chivalrous travel thousands of miles, the sword is uneven, and death and life are not planned!"
The people of the Shang family were enthusiastic when they heard this, and they all responded: "The eldest husband should be like this!"
Yi Tianxing's spell stopped suddenly, his hands suddenly slammed together, with a crisp snap, a trace of black smoke revealed in the closed palm, and then he raised his hand towards the sea in front of him, and a condensed black ball of smoke rolled into the sea.
After the smoke ball fell to the surface of the sea, it neither dissipated nor sank, and floated on the surface of the sea and rolled straight in the direction of Shenzhou. Everywhere you go, there seems to be a pale black giant whale or a pale black python floating upwards under the sea.
Before the blink of an eye, the black ball of smoke had already rolled out almost a hundred feet away, and there was a loud sound of the sea tide, and a pale black unknown substance appeared on the surface of the sea, extending from Yi Tianxing's feet to the depths of the sea.
This unidentified material seems to be made of countless small fragments glued together, the surface is pitted, very uneven, and full of small holes, it looks like a mountain is not a mountain, a reef is not a reef, and I don't know what it is made of.
Yi De and the others looked at this scene in amazement, as if it were a miracle, only Gu Lingyan didn't care what this floating thing on the sea was, jumped down on it, stepped on it with both feet, and suddenly cracked two shallow pits under his feet: "Don't be afraid, it's very strong, and if you don't deliberately attack, it's enough to support our weight! Hurry up!"
Yi De reacted the second and shouted loudly: "Before the enemy sailors can react, hurry up!"
The Shang family was awakened by the words, and the joy of being in a desperate place was born in their hearts, and they were in great spirits, jumped to the top of the black passage, and followed Gu Lingyan all the way.
Mu Gongzhi's heart was full of unreal feelings, and he sighed: "Yi Er Gongzi is really a trick, the old man admires it." With that, he jumped behind the last member of the Shang family and followed unhurriedly.
Yi Tianxing said: "Yi De, you and Mu Lao go to the middle! Thirty miles is not far away, but it is not close, I don't estimate that we have run less than ten miles, and the sailors of the Yamato Dynasty have already made a response to interception, we can't fall short and die halfway." β
Yi De responded: "Okay!" showed his method and chased after Mu Gongzhi's side: "Mu Lao!"
Mu Gongzhi nodded and said, "Got it." "The body is like a crane soaring into the sky, and after a few ups and downs, it falls to about a third of the way to the front of the line.
Yi De ran to the back third of the line to protect his companions.
Yi Tianxing waited until everyone rushed out of a hundred meters before stepping onto the black channel, like a leisurely walk, walking leisurely, with each step he stepped out, the black channel under his feet made a crisp sound like a glacier cracking, and when his body was just over, it fell apart, shattered into countless black pieces and scattered, was beaten by the waves, and floated towards the shore.
The unbelievable actions of Yi Tianxing and the others immediately attracted the attention of the Yamato Dynasty sailors.
On the flagship of the Yamato Dynasty's naval division, more than a dozen naval generals gathered together, looking at Yi Tianxing and the others running along the sea with a shocked expression: "What is it?"
Ten zhang away from these naval generals, there was a woman wearing colorful floral cloth clothes, with a graceful figure, but her skin was covered with abscesses, which was annoying to see, looking at the black passage under the feet of Yi Tianxing and others, her eyes showed a look of surprise and fanaticism: "It turns out that the black malaria Gu can be used like this?"
