Chapter 18: The Howl of the Third Prince
There is a clear river in the mountains, and there are many dead leaves floating on the stream, which reminds people of the yellow flowers on the forehead of a girl, and the scene is very beautiful
The sharp sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the mountains
More than 30 horsemen ran out of the sheep intestine trail in the mountains and stopped in front of this clear river
In these teams, all dressed in ordinary clothes, even the horses were just ordinary horses, and they looked like ordinary caravans, Xu Zhenyan straightened out his hair, which was a little dry due to dust, swallowed his saliva hard, and looked at everything in the surrounding mountains and fields with a slightly frightened look
Because his father, Xu Tianwang, the most powerful figure in the Xu family, was one of the most powerful henchmen under the patriarch surnamed Jiang among the nine patriarchs in the imperial city of Zhongzhou, so Xu Tianwang was also much clearer about the situation in the west controlled by Wenren Cangyue than ordinary magnates
Before expressing his disappointment with Xu Zhenyan and letting Xu Zhenyan carry out such a task, Xu Tianwang had already informed Xu Zhenyan of the situation in the west
But unlike Tong Wei's appearance at the military assembly site of Yangjian Tianshan and informing Lin Xi of the things in the west, Qingluan Academy let Lin Xi know such a thing, because he felt that Lin Xi had the right to know and the right to make trade-offs, although even Tong Wei was very sure that Lin Xi would definitely go to the west because of his friends Xu Tianwang to tell Xu Zhenyan this, but to let Xu Zhenyan know that he was always under the shadow of real death, and to use real death and fear to persecute Xu Zhenyan
As for whether this is good or bad for Xu Zhenyan, Xu Tianwang doesn't think much about it, because in the eyes of a person like him who has been favored by the Jiang family because of his own strength and ruthlessness, if he can't make progress under the oppression of fear, but is overwhelmed by fear, then such a person is a waste and does not deserve any pity at all, even if this person is his son
Wenren Cangyue's strength and terrifyingness did not lie only in the control of all the armies in the vast Biluoling region that was once the fifteenth territory of Xiyi, not only in the fact that there were so many cultivators and disciples under him and his Heavenly Wolf Guard, but also because no one knew how many people he had planted outside over the years, and how many people had worked for him because of the benefits he had given or his existence and his dealings
He is the first emperor of Yunqin, after the death of the first emperor and the succession of the emperor's eldest grandson Jinse, the biggest real hero in the whole world, not a martial artist who only knows how to fight and kill
After hearing that Cangyue used dark thunder to directly kill all the teams that went with the emperor's will, completely showing his rupture and madness, all the teams were secretly marching, completely not passing through the local government and post stations, Xu Zhenyan didn't know how many teams like them were marching between the mountains and rivers and lakes of the Yunqin Empire now, but he knew that many teams had been assassinated shortly after they had just left Zhongzhou, so they were not in danger of their lives when they approached Biluoling, but within the twenty or thirty rì of this tossing and turning, anytime, anywhere, their lives were in danger
......
Xu Zhenyan saw that the water of the clear river in front of him was very deep, and he definitely couldn't drive the horse through it directly
He also saw a witch temple on the top of the mountain in the distance, which should be dedicated to the mountain gods worshiped by the mountain people in this area
Then he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the man on the gray horse in front of him
Sitting on the gray horse is a middle-aged man with slightly whitish sideburns, with a clear face, like a scholar, dressed like a steward or bookkeeper in this "caravan" at the moment, Xu Zhenyan does not know the identity of this person, for the sake of confidentiality and security, this "caravan" Among them, most of them didn't know the names and identities of the other party at all, and they didn't even know which person was the one they wanted to really protect and send to Biluoling, and the itinerary and living conditions along the way were all arranged by a tall and taciturn middle-aged man in the team, but Xu Zhenyan felt that this middle-aged man who looked like Mr. Bookkeeper had a strange temperament, and he should be a powerful cultivator far from him
At this moment, Xu Zhenyan looked at the silhouette of the middle-aged man, and he had been a little frightened, so he calmed down a little
At this time, several of the riders who had little water left in the water bladder had already dismounted, ready to fill the water bladder first, and the tall and taciturn middle-aged man in the team was observing whether it was possible to bypass the river, or strengthen the bamboo raft and cross the river
At this time, Xu Zhenyan saw some extremely subtle abnormalities in the middle-aged man dressed as Mr. Gray Horse
He saw the middle-aged man's ears twitch slightly, his back stiffened slightly, and then the man turned sideways and looked towards a dense forest on the other side of the clear river
"Be careful, something doesn't seem right"
The subtle abnormality he felt was quickly confirmed, and the middle-aged man who looked like a bookkeeper immediately let out a deep low snort
Everyone was startled and tensed
"Ka... Ka... Ka..."
At this moment, in the mountains and forests across the river that the middle-aged man who looked like a bookkeeper was watching, there was a sudden sound of numbing metal hinges and metal rubbing violently
However, at this moment, the middle-aged man who looked like a bookkeeper turned around, and his eyes went to another place with a cold gaze
That place was on their side, on the hillside not far behind the horizontal bamboo raft
There was a strange low humming sound that only he could hear, and it rang out at the same time, muffled by the violent grinding of metal on the other side of the river
All these sounds turned into complete wind and thunder in an instant
In the midst of the sharply constricted pupils of everyone, in the mountains and forests on the opposite bank of the river, three black sè metal crossbow arrows the thickness of a baby's arm broke through the trees and burst out with electricity
On the hillside behind the bamboo raft, a terrifying spinning white sè cold-light scythe the length of a horse cut off everything along the way, and all the wild grass and thin trees along the way that had no ability to resist at all, flew away and lay down
"Poof" "Poof"
Three huge black sè metal crossbow arrows instantly rushed into the formation, one missed, and two pierced through the two riders respectively, breaking through the terrifying blood hole, tearing all the organs in the chest and abdomen of the two riders, turning into blood and rushing out from behind
The terrifying spinning white sè cold light giant scythe from the side and rear descended at the same time, instantly cutting off the necks of the two riders and the horses under the seat, and the wind and thunder did not slow down at all
Because Xu Zhenyan had been paying attention to the subtle movements of the middle-aged man who looked like Mr. Bookkeeper, he had discovered this terrifying giant scythe earlier than most of the people in this team, and after all, he had also undergone a lot of training in the trial valley of Qingluan Academy, and when this terrifying spinning giant scythe appeared from the hillside with the momentum of wind and thunder, Xu Zhenyan, who was terrified to the extreme, had already made a move, jumped off the horse, and fell to the ground
However, his body still had a few inches before it really touched the ground, and before it could really hit the ground in the air, the terrifying white sè cold light scythe had already slashed through the horse he was riding
His face was facing the ground, and he didn't see the strong horse's neck being easily cut off like a straw, but he heard the sound of a column of blood rushing out of the horse's neck, and felt the chill on the giant blade flying from his back
The pores of his body were drenched in cold sweat in an instant, and his hands and feet were sore for a while, and he barely had the strength to draw out his blade
The eyes of the middle-aged cultivator who looked like Mr. Ledger were narrowed into a line
He was definitely capable of dodging this terrifying scythe that was coming at him, but he knew very well that there were at least five riders behind him who could not dodge this giant blade at all, so at this moment, he didn't dodge, exhaled and raised his breath, and drew a golden sword from the saddle side cloth
The golden sword turned into a dazzling ball of thunder at the same time as he roared, slashing from the bottom to the swirling scythe at his side in a single breath
"Knock"
The two metal objects intersected, but there was an unusually dull roar
The white sè cold light giant scythe was forcibly lifted upward, like a huge clam shell constantly flipped in the air
The gray horse under the seat of the middle-aged cultivator holding the golden sword fell sideways, all four hooves snapped at the same time, and there was no wail at all, and a cloud of blood mist rushed out of its mouth
The middle-aged cultivator was shocked out of his horse, and with a bang, he landed in the middle of the river
Xu Zhenyan, who was lying on the ground, trembled all over, and his mind was full of fear and disbelief
Moon crossbow
This group of assassins in Nangong Cangyue actually used the Guanyue crossbow, whose power was only under the crossbow of the mountain
There are also many crossbows in the entire military, and a blade that requires five or six ordinary sergeants to lift
Whether it is the crossbow car of the moon crossbow or the body of the whirling blade car, it is very large, and the people who hear the moon are able to transport this kind of ordnance here without being discovered for an assassination
......
Two riders with their stomachs pierced fell to the ground
Flashing white sè giant scythe when the ground hits
Three headless horses and one horse with four hooves broken and killed by the force of the impact fell to the ground, and two riders who had been cut off lay in pools of blood on the ground
At the same time as the thick bloody aura instantly enveloped the team, more than a dozen flickering hook claws with black chains were thrown out of the opposite woods and thrown towards the middle-aged cultivator who fell into the river
Dozens of black-clothed assassins armed with long knives and white iron metal masks rushed out silently from the hillside where the white scythe flew out, like dozens of black sè streams, instantly stabbing into the team, and the bloody strangulation began instantly
Trembling all over, Xu Zhenyan, who got up from the ground, pulled out two triangular stabbing blades, and he saw a rider in front of him stab a sword into the eye socket of an assassin, but in Xu Sheng's dazed trembling moment, a long knife cut off the rider's head with half of his shoulder, and blood splashed on Xu Zhenyan's face
The assassin who cut down the rider directly smashed into the fallen corpse and rushed in front of Xu Zhenyan
Xu Zhenyan almost instinctively reacted to it, shrinking down, and the stabbing blade of his right hand pierced through the assassin's chest armor fiercely, stabbing into the assassin's body
The assassin howled miserably, and when he was dying, he burst out with strong willpower, and with the last of his strength, the long knife in his right hand also stabbed out fiercely, piercing into Xu Zhenyan's shoulder socket
The cold blade penetrated the flesh and blood, cut on the bones, and half of Xu Zhenyan's body was convulsed by the bones, and he howled violently like a beast, and the stabbing blade in his hand kept piercing into the assassin's body like crazy, and fell to the ground with the assassin, and when the assassin's corpse was pressed to the ground, he was still howling, and he was still stabbing the assassin's corpse that had been completely unresponsive
