"Wan Sheng!"

Cheers soared into the sky, and hundreds of Guards who had recaptured the walls waved their weapons in celebration of victory, and many spat under the walls in defiance of their enemies.

Qin Yun slowly put down the Sunset Divine Bow, and when the power inspired in his bloodline was exhausted with the shooting of the Wind Chasing Arrow, his arms seemed to be being eaten by countless iron-toothed ants, and his hands trembled involuntarily in soreness.

"Big brother, was you frustrated by the bow force?" Yan Qing walked over and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll take a bottle of medicinal oil to wipe it for you after I go back, and I guarantee that I can recover within a day!"

This sturdy young man held the big sword in both hands, his body was covered with blood, and his armor was even more scarred, and even his left cheek was cut by the sword qi, you can imagine how fierce the battle he experienced.

"Are you alright?" Qin Yun asked with concern.

"It's okay!" Yan Qing thrust the big sword into the ground, showing a trace of sadness on her face: "I only suffered a little skin injury, but many brothers died in battle!"

Qin Yun patted him on the shoulder, wanting to say a few words of relief, but he didn't know where to start.

Wars have always been extremely cruel, and in the first siege launched by the Great Chu Flying Tiger Legion, although the Lingyang City Guards firmly held their defensive line, they also paid the price of nearly 2,000 casualties.

The Yanyun Iron Cavalry led by Yan Qing resisted the attack of the Slaughter Battalion at a critical moment, so two hundred and seventy-eight people were killed in the battle, more than four hundred were wounded, and nearly one-fifth of their strength was lost.

Of course, the Chu army, as the besieging party, undoubtedly suffered much heavier losses, and they left at least six or seven thousand corpses in front of and on the southern city wall. There were even more wounded and fled, the Chengxia army in charge of the main attack was almost disabled, and the elite slaughter battalion suffered nearly half of the casualties, and it was absolutely unable to fight again in a short time.

A large number of catapults, ballistas and siege engines were also destroyed.

The results achieved by the city guards should be said to be great, but neither Xu Jingye, nor Li Jin and the others were very happy, because they knew very well that this war had just begun, and the main force of the Flying Tiger Legion had not been damaged at all. There was also a steady stream of reinforcements.

In contrast, the defenders of Lingyang City are one less dead, and there will always be times when they can't hold on.

"I only hope that His Royal Highness King Lu can send reinforcements over as soon as possible"

Xu Jingye, the guard of Lingyang City, took his entourage to the city wall to inspect it, looking at the dirty blood and corpses that had not been cleaned up on the ground. His mood was very heavy, and his clear and haggard face showed a look of worry.

This great Confucian of the current dynasty has not had a good rest for several days and nights, and he has worked hard for the defense of Lingyang City. Although the guards were handed over to Li Jin, the civil responsibility for the myriad of things in the city fell on him alone.

If you want to hold Lingyang, it is far from enough to rely on only 20,000 guards, the fate of the 300,000 people in the city has been closely linked to this fortress in the southern frontier of the empire, and the unity and stability in the rear will undoubtedly greatly affect the war situation ahead.

"As long as we hold Lingyang, Your Highness will definitely lead a large army to ask for help as quickly as possible!" Yan Qing said in a categorical tone, "Please rest assured!"

Xu Jingye looked at Yan Qing and Qin Yun and said with a smile: "With you here, I can rest assured!"

Li Jin also said with a smile: "Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers, this time without the help of the two of them, the losses of our city guards would definitely be much greater, and now the Flying Tiger Legion will not attack the city again for a while." Why don't you go back and get some rest?"

Qin Yun and Yan Qing did not refuse, the former had excessive consumption of true qi and needed to recover urgently, and the latter was even more injured.

The two of them descended the city wall together and came to the temporary camp guardhouse.

Not far from the southern wall, the city guards requisitioned a large mansion as a camp guard, which served as the command post of the guards. It is also the residence of the masters sent by each family, and can be supported at any time if the city wall defense line is in danger.

Qin Yun has a suite in the Xingying Guardhouse, although the conditions are not as good as the old house of the Shui family, but under the current situation, it is already an excellent treatment, and he will not be so picky.

After a quick bite to eat, he went back to his room to practice behind closed doors.

The Jiuyang Divine Skill that Qin Yun was cultivating now was broad and profound. Despite having the realm of the three turns of Jiuyang Xuangong, the speed of cultivation from scratch was still not fast, and so far he had only just touched the second layer of the mental method.

However, the power of the first layer of the mental method had already surpassed the three turns of Xuan Gong, and in less than half a pillar of incense, his strength had recovered to more than seventy percent, and the damaged muscle meridians of his arms had also healed quickly under the repair of true qi.

After completing a Great Zhou Tian's cultivation, Qin Yun began to think back on the gains and losses of today's battle.

He should be said to have performed quite perfectly in today's battle, shooting and slashing more than a hundred enemies, including three innate powerhouses, especially the last heavy sword warrior is a master among masters, and his strength realm is far above Qin Yun.

Qin Yun was able to kill it without paying much price, and the most important thing was with the help of the divine weapon of the Tianwen Sword, it could be said that without this weapon containing terrifying power, it was impossible for him to take down the opponent.

Thinking back to Fang Cai's thrilling battle, Qin Yun still had lingering palpitations, if the opponent blocked his move to dominate the mountains and fought back, I am afraid that he would really hate the spot.

The reason why he won such a thrilling luck is that his strength is not strong enough, even if he holds the divine weapon, he can only borrow it temporarily, and he can't completely master it, otherwise the other party doesn't have to be afraid of being a little stronger.

For Tianwen Sword, Qin Yun also felt a headache.

Speaking of which, this long sword given to him by Mu Fei is a first-class divine weapon, which is consistent with his attributes, but the sword spirit in the sword body is too unruly, and he can barely be subdued by relying on Haoran righteousness.

However, this kind of subdued is not stable and reliable, and if there are twists and turns at a critical moment, it will definitely give the enemy a chance.

Therefore, Qin Yun will not use the Tianwen Sword unless he has to.

And at present, the Chu army is approaching the city, and it is not known how many masters will appear in the future, he really needs the power of the Tianwen Divine Sword to protect Ling Yang and destroy the strong enemy.

Thinking of this, Qin Yun's expression became extremely resolute, and his dark eyes revealed a stunning light.

He took out a sandalwood box from the space.

Inside this sandalwood box is the unicorn paperweight that Xu Jingye gave to Qin Yun, which is a family heirloom that Xu Jingye took out to thank Qin Yun for his selfless support.

Qin Yun originally planned to find an opportunity to secretly return it to Xu Jingye in the future, but his thoughts were different now.

This unicorn jade has been inherited in the Xu family for hundreds of years, and has been owned by the heads of the previous generations, and it is said to contain the Qi refining experience of several generations of Confucians of the Xu family, but the secret of Xu Jingye's generation has been lost.

According to Xu Jingye, if Qin Yun can find out the secret, then it will be of great benefit to Qin Yun to cultivate the Haoran Righteous Qi Technique, and it is precisely because of this that he will reluctantly cut his love so as not to make the treasure dusty.

Haoran Zhengqi is the supreme authentic method of ancient qi refiners, which can be divided into nine realms: condensation, seed refining, transformation, soul forging, soul cultivation, concentration of spirits, sun swallowing, heaven-tilting, and nature, and the exercises are subtle and unfathomable.

Qin Yun is currently at the level of introductory Qi Condensation Seed in the cultivation of Haoran Righteous Qi Technique, although he has condensed Haoran True Seed in the Qi Sea Dantian, there is still a long way to go before he transforms into a soul forgery.

Therefore, he wanted to try to see if he could use the Qilin Jade to cultivate Haoran Righteous Qi to a new realm level, so as to greatly improve his ability to control the Tianwen Divine Sword.

However, since he didn't know the secret method, Qin Yun could only try to follow the method of extracting the spiritual power of the spirit jade, holding the qilin jade in his hand and injecting a trace of innate true qi into it, to see if he could touch the secret of the inner connotation.

But after this trace of true qi was injected, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and the Qilin Jade did not react in the slightest, making Qin Yun, who was ready to withstand the impact of the strange force, feel like he had hit the air with a punch.

Could it be that the strength is not enough? Qin Yun tried to strengthen the True Qi and urge the power of the True Yuan of Sancheng.

This time, the Qilin Jade finally reacted, and as soon as Qin Yun's True Qi entered the jade, it was like hitting the solid iron wall head-on, and it couldn't move forward at all when it rebounded.

The stronger the True Qi he entered, the stronger the power of the rebound, but what bounced back was Qin Yun's own strength.

Qin Yun, who did not believe in evil, urged his true qi to ninety percent, and the Qilin Jade was still as steady as a rock, it was like a fortress that would never fall, stubbornly resisting Qin Yun's attack, making his temptations again and again in vain.

But it was precisely by relying on this temptation again and again that Qin Yun discovered that the Qilin Jade contained a powerful and extremely powerful force, which was as masculine as the peak of the mountain, stable and incomparably difficult to invade by external forces.

After repeated attempts, Qin Yun reluctantly gave up the method of injecting innate true qi, if it weren't for the fact that Qilin Jade was only rebounding his strength instead of counterattacking, it would really make him unable to eat and walk around.

Of course, this did not mean that Qin Yun had given up completely, he thought about it, held the Qilin Jade between his hands, sat down cross-legged to exercise his qi, and tried to urge Haoran's qi to be injected into the jade.

This time the situation was really different, and the power of Haoran and the power in the jade had a subtle reaction, like a drop of water falling into the lake and stirring up a slight ripple.

There is a door!

Qin Yun did not hesitate to strengthen the indoctrination of Haoran's power, turning a little drizzle into a downpour, stirring up layers of waves on the originally calm lake!

The power in the Qilin Jade then fluctuated violently, and a force gushed out and merged with the Haoran Qi, and Qin Yun immediately withdrew it into the Qi Sea Dantian.

The Haoran True Seed absorbed this power and became more and more powerful as the operation of the Mind Method.

Qin Yun clearly felt that the Haoran Righteous Qi Technique, which he had cultivated for a long time but had not advanced an inch, showed signs of change.

This is undoubtedly an excellent phenomenon, just as Xu Jingye said, the Qilin Jade is really of great help to cultivate Haoran Righteousness!
