Chapter 149: Breakthrough
"It's been two minutes, is there really anyone in there?"
"Even if you are a peerless master, I'm afraid it's very uncomfortable in such a fire, is it a magician?"
"No, if it was the other party's magician, it wouldn't be an encirclement, but a close battle with a numerical advantage, and the other party would definitely be a Douqi cultivator. ”
It had been three minutes since the onlookers watched the guards encircle the burning post station, and there had been no movement in the post station except for the horses that had just rushed out, and if it was a little quieter, they could hear the sound of wood being burned by fire and smashing on the ground from time to time.
"Strange, if you are waiting for the opportunity to break through, it is already a good opportunity when the horses rushed out just now, why hasn't there been any movement yet?" The commander of the city guard was also a little puzzled, in the information given by the hidden troops, it was not stated that Zhao Zhong had magical cultivation, otherwise he would have guessed what Zhao Zhong might have used magic to do in it.
As we all know, the power of magic is so strange that it is possible to create a place that is in a sea of fire without being exposed to fire.
"But in that case, I just need to stabilize the formation, don't wait for my mistakes. "The commander didn't choose to rush in or shoot two people to investigate, although it may seem like the guards were a little too cautious, but it was the most consistent tactic.
And at this moment, Zhao Zhong did not leave the post station, and it was not that he was unwilling to rush out, but was stopped by a person.
"It's useless for you to rush out now, there's no way!" There was a hint of helplessness in Scarlet Ji's voice, why was it so difficult to persuade this tenacious guy.
"It's not that there is no chance. Zhao Zhong looked at the thick smoke billowing in front of him, and said lightly, "As long as you can put down more than three in an instant when you rush out, you can do it." ”
"What are you stupid made of, so unenlightened?" Scarlet Ji shouted, "You didn't succeed in taking down two of them with a sneak attack just now, and now that everyone is ready, you still want to take down three at once?"
Yes, the law. The guards of this Hancheng are not like the group of ruffians in Xia Cheng before, on the premise of not wanting to kill, even Zhao Zhong is not fully sure of breaking through quickly.
"Unless you use the law, but for now, you are not prepared to kill the other party, and there is no use for nothing. Scarlet Ji sighed, "So don't hold that mentality of not killing, with your current strength, if you don't go all out, you can only fight." And don't forget, although you still have the ability to fight, you don't have the body to resist fire. ”
Scarlet Ji is right, Zhao Zhong is not helpless against the city guards, although he has no fighting spirit, but he is also a seven-fragment brave who has awakened the power of fragments. If he goes all out, it is not impossible to kill all the city guards, after all, he has the most offensive void rule among the seven ** rules.
But the problem now is that Zhao Zhong didn't intend to kill, and he was besieged here. If you don't kill people, it means that you will keep your hands, and it will be difficult to break through if you keep your hands.
Don't forget, the establishment of the city guard itself exists for masters, and it is really difficult to get out of the status quo without going all out.
"Crackling. The flames licked the wood of the inn with a crackling sound. The entire post station was about to be burned down, and once the beams of the house completely collapsed, then Zhao Zhong would also be covered in flames.
"So don't wait, it's better to get out of the fight than to be here!"
But Zhao Zhong ignored it and still stood there motionless.
"Could it be that you are waiting for someone to save you? Also, those guys are hiding and pinching one by one, if one or two come in, it is really not too much of a problem to cooperate with them to break through. Scarlet Ji nodded, and suddenly became a little puzzled, "But, in this case, it doesn't matter if you go out to fight the other party first, why don't you just come out?"
Scarlet Ji suddenly stopped talking, because since Zhao Zhongji answered a sentence just now, she had been talking about it, and she suddenly felt that it was not interesting.
"Anyway, it's a disobedient guy, it doesn't matter if you live or die, it's better to die, it's what I want. Scarlet Ji secretly thought to herself, no matter how much she was still puzzled, what did Zhao Zhong want to do.
"Why hasn't it come out yet, is there really something wrong?" At this time, the commander of the city guard standing outside was also a little puzzled, because it was too strange, even those strong people who were refining the body flow were unbearable in the house completely surrounded by fire, not only the temperature, but more importantly, the air and the billowing black smoke. Staying in such an uncomfortable place and not coming out, could it really have made him escape?
The commander turned his head slightly to look at the two guards behind him who had just been injured, they were the two guards who had entered the post station before, according to them, Zhao Zhong who wanted to rush out had been kicked back by them, if there was nothing unexpected by him, then it was impossible for Zhao Zhong to leave the post station.
"That's it, even if you give him a chance, it's hard to break through, if you really let him already escape, and he and the others don't know about it but wait here stupidly, that's the worst situation. The commander looked at the burning post station and finally decided, "You three, go over and confirm if the target is still in the post station!"
"Yes!" As soon as the three guards next to the commander heard the order, they walked out quickly, scattered and walked towards the post station, and at this time the encirclement immediately shrank a little, and returned to an airtight circle.
This is also to prevent Zhao Zhong from breaking through at this time, the three of them are out of the ranks, and the encirclement will indeed be insufficient at this time, but there is no movement in the post station, and when their change is over, Zhao Zhong will have no chance to break through.
Looking at the post station surrounded by fire and unable to see the inside, the three city guards nodded, and the three of them made a triangular slash very tacitly, drawing their swords and slashing at the wall of the post station!
In this way, a triangular gap can be created at once, and the inside can be seen, but it is difficult for people to react, because it is almost like a sword cutting open.
But at this time, a mutation suddenly occurred!
The three city guards are also masters, and their speed of drawing and slashing is never slow, and at the same time, their vigilance is not reduced. But no one could have imagined that at the moment when the three city guards drew their swords and slashed, two sharp swords suddenly burst out of this opening!
Even the most brilliant swordsman would have difficulty judging in such a situation. Because of the sound of flames licking the wood and the vision and smell obscured by the thick smoke, it was impossible for Zhao Zhong in the post station to notice what was going on outside of him.
But in this case, Zhao Zhong grasped the moment when the three city guards stabbed their swords at the same time and broke through!
In fact, Scarlet Ji never guessed Zhao Zhong's intentions, Zhao Zhong was just like he said, from the beginning, he was ready to put down five people and break out alone, neither to find an opportunity to use the law, or to wait for Dolank and others to rescue.
Zhao Zhong, from the very beginning, only believed in himself!
At the same time as the three city guards, the goal of the three city guards was to cut a hole in the wall, but Zhao Zhong hit two of them directly in the arm, the difference in purpose and preparation led to Zhao Zhong's sneak attack this time There is no way to dodge!
"Hmm!" As the swords in the hands of the two city guards fell, Zhao Zhong did not hesitate, and directly held the sword with both hands and slashed towards the city guard in the middle!
Although the swordsmanship of the city guards has been strictly trained, it is still much worse than Zhao Zhong, and without the cover of his companions, Zhao Zhong's sword is not something he can resist alone!
"Keng!" "Boom!" After knocking the sword in his hand away, the sword in Zhao Zhong's other hand was changed to a pump, and it slammed into the head of the city guard, sending it flying!
"Three, that's enough!" Zhao Zhong raised his head, seized the opportunity to make the three city guards temporarily lose the power to block him, plus the previous two were misplaced by Zhao Zhong's hand bones, in fact, they were no longer considered combat power, and these people in front of him were already regarded as five less!
Now, it's time to break through!
Holding the two swords that the city guards had dropped before, Zhao Zhong looked at the city guards surrounding him and laughed.
"Up!" Although it was not a decision-making error, but giving the other party a chance to abolish his three combat strengths, the commander also gritted his teeth and gave an order!
The guards of the encirclement are not counting the two hand bones that are misplaced, plus the commander has a total of eleven people, and their formation is a group of four, it is obvious that Zhao Zhong also knows about this, so he said that he would put down three more such words.
Sure enough, the guards of the encirclement were in groups of four, and only two groups of people rushed up, trying to entangle him.
However, how can two groups of people form an encirclement?
Zhao Zhong didn't intend to engage them at all, so he directly retreated quickly and headed towards the guards in a group of three people in the rear!
It can only be said that the city guards are really well-trained and a little rigid, and they subconsciously formed a formation immediately at the beginning of the battle, but the three people who could not form a formation were exposed!
"Stop!" shouted the commander, who was also one of the three people, and watched Zhao Zhong coming in his direction, also with nameless anger. The person in front of him seemed to know the routines of himself and others very well. At the beginning, in the other directions of the post station, there were more than four people in a group, if Zhao Zhong did not choose to break through head-on at that time, but wanted to go out from the side, he would be trapped by the four-person formation.
And after arriving, he did not choose the four people closest to the city gate to rush, but came in the opposite direction. Completely avoided the four-man formation of the city guards!
But the city guard is not a weak person even if he has no formation, especially himself, his strength is the strongest among the all, even if he can't stop him, it's no problem for the three of them to be at least slightly contained!
Soon, though, the commander realized that he was wrong.
"Quick Sword Technique-" Zhao Zhong's sword rushed like thunder, "No light!"
Completely ignoring himself and the other city guard, Zhao Zhong's two swords were so fast that the city guard in front of him couldn't catch the trajectory of the sword at all, cutting through his defenses!
"Oops!" the commander sighed.
Just now, the two of them just made a cut behind Zhao Zhong's white clothes, but they couldn't keep him!
The difference in swordsmanship was too great, and at that moment, the guard's block was seen through, and he lost his center of gravity with a direct sword and turned it into a sword blocking card.
"Chase!"
