Chapter 10: The Night Road is Attacked
On the outskirts of the junction of Beichen Kingdom and Tianwei Kingdom, Xu Zhaobiao and his party rushed for several days in a row, and they could arrive in the territory of Tianwei Kingdom tonight.
Xu Zhaobiao said: "Snow girl, there are ten miles to reach the territory of Tianwei Kingdom, we will travel overnight, and we will arrive in the capital to reunite with your father." ”
"Great, Xue'er misses her father very much," Tian Ah Xue said.
At this moment, a brilliant firework rose into the air, crackling, startling the war horse neighing, and the whole army hurriedly reined in the war horse.
Xu Zhaobiao suddenly became vigilant, only to see the figures crowding, forming a circle of encirclement a few meters away, and three figures walked out of the crowd, each holding a weapon.
Xu Zhaobiao observed these three people, and his intuition over the years told him that these three people were all masters, and the thugs around him were also well-trained, and thousands of people stood there silently with long knives in hand.
"Array, three-way hunting."
"Who are you, and why did you intercept the guards of the Heavenly Wei Kingdom?" Xu Zhaobiao reported to his family that the Tianwei Kingdom was also a powerful country among the eleven princely kingdoms of the Evergreen Empire, in an attempt to scare off some young people.
Ordinary mountain bandits and rogues naturally didn't dare to stay longer, but these people in front of them were all prepared.
"Haha, Commander Xu is the right-hand man of King Tianwei, and he finally has such a good opportunity to get rid of you, how can I miss it, hahaha!"
Xu Zhaobiao's reception of Tian Axue's return to the royal city is top secret, and these people have been ambushed here early, obviously because they have leaked the news.
When the opponent laughed heartily, more than 1,000 spearmen had already adjusted their formation, with the commander as the center, listing six triangular battle formations, facing six directions.
Xu Zhaobiao didn't talk nonsense when he saw that the army formation was formed, and decisively ordered: "One, three, five charges." ”
Suddenly, three spear cavalry in different directions charged forward, one person in the first row stabbed straight with spears, two people in the second row with spears to protect the front row of war horses, four people in the third row with two spears inside to protect the front row of war horses, two spears on the outside stabbed obliquely, and the fourth row also covered the front row with the inside, and the outside attacked and killed the enemy.
In a burst of swords and guns, the three teams of cavalry rushed out of the encirclement, quickly adjusting their formation, and filling the positions of the wounded and dead spearmen.
"Shrink the encirclement and kill Xu Zhaobiao with a reward of 1,000 taels." Seeing the fierce rush of the cavalry, the leader of the roadblock hurriedly ordered the siege to be closed, not giving the cavalry a chance to speed up.
But it was too late, after all, I was not from a regular army, and I didn't know what was terrible about the military formation.
Three groups of cavalry turned to one side at the same time, one to five, five to three, three to one, and then charged again into the encirclement.
Xu Zhaobiao saw the three teams rushing out of the encirclement and immediately ordered "two, four, and six charges"
The second team, the fourth team, and the sixth team stood at this time with their backs to the spearmen charging inward, and like the first, second, and third teams, they easily broke through the encirclement of the infantry, and then the second team turned to the sixth team, the sixth team turned to the fourth team, and the fourth team turned to the second team.
When the 246th team broke out of the encirclement, the 1st team, the 3rd team, and the 5th team rushed to the center again, and then chased after the 246th team.
The military formation was completely formed, a six-leaf plum blossom-like shape, dividing the enemy into six pieces, and it was endless, charging non-stop, and completing the counter-encirclement.
Xu Zhaobiao saw that the time was ripe, and said to the dozens of spear riders around him, "Find the right time to take the princess to break through, and I'll stop those three masters." ”
Behind Xu Zhaobiao, a yellow scroll slowly unfolded, and a totem rotated in the middle, surrounded by six yellow five-pointed stars.
It is Xu Zhaobiao's life map, the sixth order of the Star Spirit Realm. The Star Spirit Realm is not a cultivator, but a slightly stronger martial arts master.
The color of the life chart represents the talent, and the talent quality is divided into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and gold, and the purple life map only appears on the earth immortal, which is the reincarnation of the person in the upper realm, which does not represent the talent but represents the person is extremely dangerous.
Long Tian is a purple life map, and Tian Axue's bloodline will also be a purple life map after it is activated.
Xu Zhaobiao held the soul bone in his hand and faced the three masters on the opposite side to kill.
The three of them also unfolded their fate diagrams one after another, and two of them unfolded yellow scrolls behind their backs with six yellow five-pointed stars.
And one of them turned out to be a green six-star!
In order of talent quality, the total amount of aura in the orange horogram is 1.2 times that of red, while yellow is 1.3 times that of orange, green is 1.4 times that of yellow, cyan is 1.5 times that of green, blue is 1.6 times that of cyan, and gold is 2 times that of blue.
If Xu Zhaobiao's aura value is one hundred, the aura value on the opposite side is one hundred and thirty.
Xu Zhaobiao knew that he was afraid that he would be more auspicious today, and said in a deep voice: "I will entangle them and lead the princess to break through with all my might."
Xu Zhaobiao's strength was tempered in the killing, and he faced three opponents at one time, and one of them had a talent level higher than his own.
At this time, it also reflects the advantages of the tripartite hunting array, and hunting is naturally not just about hunting some cats and dogs.
The center of the tripartite hunting array continued to change as Xu Zhaobiao moved, and six teams of cavalry continued to sweep through the middle, cooperating with the main general to harass the enemy's main general.
Taking advantage of the tripartite hunting array and Xu Zhaobiao to entangle the three of them, the dozens of spearmen who stayed behind found the right time to cover Tian Axue to join one of the teams, and rushed away when they rushed to the periphery.
The man with the green life map saw that Tian Axue actually took advantage of the chaos to break through and hurriedly said: "Ah Da, leave it to me here, you go to chase the princess of the Wei Kingdom." ”
"Yes," the slightly chubby person next to him replied, turned around and jumped out of the cavalry encirclement after a few verticals, and chased in the direction of Tian Axue and their breakthrough.
Xu Zhaobiao was in a hurry when he saw this, and the spear attack was even more fierce, but he was helpless for a while.
On the other side, the man's luck and aura chased him all the way, and he was about to catch up with Tian Axue.
At this time, there were only about ten guards left around Tian Axue, and all of them were injured.
Seeing that someone was chasing, several people whipped the horse, but the horse had already run to the extreme, and seeing this, the three seriously injured spearmen roared angrily and turned around and killed the man.
"Looking for Death"
The man swung his knife and slashed, and the three spearmen spilled blood, and died on the spot, unable to stop the man by half a step.
Tian Axue saw that the man was chasing closer and closer, and knew that it would be useless to run any longer, so she simply jumped off the horse and prepared to fight.
The man stood quietly ten steps away from Tian Axue and the others, and was not in a hurry to make a move, in his eyes this was just a game of cat and mouse, and he was thinking about what to do with the princess of Tianwei Kingdom when he caught him, with a strange smile on his face.
Tian Axue and the man looked at each other, this person was six stars on the yellow order, Tian Axue clearly remembered that this person had just fought Xu Zhaobiao for the first time and was repelled by Xu Zhaobiao with a shot, and he chased for so long, at this time, he would definitely not be able to exert his full strength, and if he let go, he would have a few chances of winning.
The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to herself, Tian Axue no longer hesitated, and her red lips lightly opened: "Heaven and earth are infinite, the Tao is one, and the life totem Qi" slowly unfolded behind her, and the green life attribute totem was surrounded by three cyan pentagrams.
The "Qingling Three-Star Mage" man couldn't help but be surprised, it was not a secret that the princess of the Tianwei Kingdom was a life attribute totem here, but at such an age, it was not difficult to reach the third order, and it was not difficult to continue to cultivate and advance to the Moon Envoy to become an immortal cultivator.
Tian Axue was fifteen years old when she disappeared, and she has been missing for three years, and the outside world knows that Tian Axue is now eighteen years old, and it will be even more surprising if he knows that Tian Axue's real age is just twelve years old.
The mage of the Qingling Three Star is also very tricky to deal with, and if he is in his heyday, he is naturally not afraid, but he himself knows that the chance of winning the battle at this time is less than fifty percent.
The man didn't dare to continue to hold it up, so he tightened the handle of his knife and killed Tian Axue.
Tian Axue already had an extra pair of weapons in his hand at this time, the Flying Rope Hook Scythe.
The scythe blade of the zipline hook is half a foot long, curved like a hook, shaped like a sickle, and the handle is three inches long, and the end is connected to the wrist by a chain.
"Attribute Amplification" Tian Axue ran her true qi into the weapon, shouted coquettishly, and killed the attacking man.
Ah Da was already stunned at this time, he was obviously a mage, and he could cut it with a knife!!
Stunned for a moment, Tian Axue had already killed the front, and his right hand hooked out and went straight to Ah Damian Gate.
"Ding"
Ah Da waved his knife to block, Hook Lian was bounced high, at this time the hook and sickle in his left hand had also been attacked, Ah Da hurriedly dodged sideways, and Tian Ah Xue held the chain tightly in his right hand, pulled it down, and the hook and sickle that was bounced up accurately slashed at Ah Da again.
The more Ah Da fought, the more frightened he became, Tian Ah Xue's offensive was so fierce and tricky that even he was forced to rush when he licked blood from the knife all year round.
……
On the other side, the battle between Xu Zhaobiao and the two gradually became white-hot, both sides were stained with blood, and the thugs in ambush had all been killed by the spearmen, and when the battle reached this point, they couldn't help.
At this moment, suddenly another group of cavalry came out of the rear.
"Haha, wonderful, really wonderful, the Praetorian Guards of the Tianwei Kingdom are really extraordinary." The man laughed out loud.
Looking at the costume, it was the cavalry regiment of Duke Helian, one of the five dukes of the Star Empire.
The Evergreen Empire and the Starlight Empire have been at war for many years, and those who come are naturally friends and foes.
After the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finch, Xu Zhaobiao saw that Duke Helian's people had already appeared, and he knew that today was afraid that there would be more luck and less luck.
"Break through with the whole army, don't look back!" Xu Zhaobiao decisively ordered.
"Haha, can you run away, let go of the arrow." The leader of the cavalry of Duke Helian smiled evilly and waved his hand, and the rear cavalry surrounded him from both sides and bent his bow and arrows at the same time.
The territory of the Duke of Helian is vast, and the cavalry is good at shooting, and every shot is missed.
Xu Zhaobiao and the two had no time to fight, so they used weapons to block the rain of arrows, but they still couldn't last long.
At this time, Xu Zhaobiao was hit by several arrows in his body, covered in blood, and the bones of the lost soul were inserted into the ground to support the whole body, and the ghost horse under him was strangely not a single arrow inserted into his body, and he passed through his body one after another.
Vitality passes quickly, and scenes from the past emerge.
We were dependent on each other that year, and that day she gave me a pony, and that time we had a very fierce quarrel.
After that time, she was gone, and I gradually learned to grow, and after that day, I continued to work hard and slowly became a knight, and that year, I fought hard and finally became the commander of the Praetorian Guard.
Tian Axue's life and death are uncertain, and the grace of the king of Tianwei is haunted by Meng Ling'er.
That girl, he regarded as his own, that man, he regarded as his brother, that woman, his biggest tie.
Finally, he used all his strength, and finally put his palm on the top of the ghost horse's head, "Youjue, was I wrong back then, people and demons are different, people and demons are different, hahaha ridiculous people and demons are different......" After speaking, Xu Zhaobiao's vitality dissipated and there was no sound.
Duke Helian's men quickly ended the battle, leaving only corpses strewn across the ground.
"Cut off his head and go back to the Duke to receive his reward." The leader of the lead said.
Several soldiers stepped forward, but before they had taken two steps, they saw a blue light flash in the eyes of the ghost horse, igniting two green flames, and the black gas lingering all over their bodies, slowly sweeping upwards until Xu Zhaobiao was completely enveloped.
The Ghost Horse's natural skill, the Horse Leather Shroud, turns the dead contractor into an undead creature, carries the contractor's soul, and becomes a necromantic knight.
At this moment, a figure appeared like a ghost, covered with black clothes, black hats, black veils, long purple hair, up to the heels, bare legs, fair skin, naked feet, surrounded by a layer of black death, floating like that.
The ghost horse let out a low roar and knelt on the ground, "Ghost Lord, meet the lord"
"Ghost, I promised ten years ago that as long as you can sign a contract with him and finally make him a creature of the underworld, I will make you the king of the Ghost Horse Clan, and now I can fulfill the promise I gave you." Meng Ling'er took out a crystal green fruit and continued: "This is the Ghost Holy Fruit, which only matures once every thousand years, and the number is very rare, and it is all in the hands of the lords of the underworld. ”
"Youjue thanks the lord for the reward" Youjue pulled a wisp of black qi to hold up the ghost holy fruit and let it stay in front of him.
For a long time, the Ghost Jue did not take the Ghost Holy Fruit, and controlled the Ghost Holy Fruit to merge into the black qi around his body.
Said leisurely: "When the master died, his obsession was extremely strong, and with this ghost holy fruit, he had a great hope of evolving, so that he would no longer be an ordinary dead knight, but a powerful death knight." ”
"Don't you regret it?" Meng Ling'er said.
"I don't regret it, now I don't want to return to the ghost horse clan, and my greatest wish is no longer to become the king of the ghost horse clan, but to continue to stay by the master's side and inherit his obsession."
"The spirit of the knight, the will to die, awaken, great death knight."
"Now that you have made your choice, so good, three years later, when the moon and the sun are cloudy, I will help you break through on the banks of the Lechuan River." After Meng Ling'er finished speaking, she disappeared like a ghost.
Youjue knelt down again and "sent off the lord"
The people around him had already turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace, and the black qi on Youjue's body slowly converged into the viscera, revealing the figures of Xu Zhaobiao and Youjue.
Xu Zhaobiao, with his eyes closed, the scars on his body had disappeared, and a set of armor as black as ink was melted by the dead qi on the ghost horse's body.
At this time, Youjue's whole body bones were exposed, the underside of the bones was pitch black, and his eyes were still burning with blue flames.
