Chapter 131: Under Siege
When Murong Xue was facing Rui Ji, a girl who had long been in love, and was fighting between heaven and man in the depths of her heart, Shi Shenlie, the head of the Northern Ya Reverse Scale Division, was now in the biggest crisis in his life.
All sides are the masters of the Xuanjia Army!
Those people formed a huge circle with Shen Lie as the center, and while moving rapidly, they gradually tightened and narrowed the encirclement network.
Shen Lie took advantage of the scattered residential houses in Luoyi City, and galloped like a swift wind, which was able to break through the interception of several heavily armored soldiers and crossbowmen, and got closer and closer to the Luoshui River that ran through the city.
But at the same time, a powerful enemy capable of threatening his life is getting closer and closer.
The other party obviously sensed that he planned to escape with the help of the Luohe River, so in front of his route, he constantly deployed and arranged a large number of powerful men and horses to implement a tight siege.
And not far behind Shen Lie, more than a dozen top masters led by Shan Tingxian gradually chased after him. As long as he pauses for the slightest, he will immediately fall into a situation from which he will never recover.
There was a wolf in front and a tiger in the back, Shen Lie couldn't hesitate at all, he struggled to sweep away a Xuanjia soldier who rushed to the front, knocked it down with a knife and knocked it down, and then lifted his breath and lightened himself, ready to jump off the roof where he was and flee to the next landing point. But just as his feet just jumped up, from the ground below the left side, a black shadow suddenly flew up, holding an iron spear, and stabbed straight at Shen Lie.
This gun is powerful and heavy, and the gun also contains deep internal strength, faintly mixed with the sound of wind and thunder, and the spirit is extraordinary. Because the attack happened suddenly, and the timing of the attack was very clever, it was chosen when Shen Lie's body was suspended and his skill was insufficient, so it was extremely difficult to resist.
In an instant, Shen Lie finally saw clearly by the moonlight that it was Ye Rongcheng, the general of the Xuanjia Legion.
This person is a famous fierce general under Xie Guang, and his martial arts cultivation is quite famous in the entire Saint Tang military circle, and his appearance here at this moment is enough to show how much Xie Guang and Lao Jianhua attach importance to tonight's actions.
At the same time, Ye Rongcheng's choice of timing also made Shen Lie despair.
The roof of the house where Shen Lie was was was only a hundred steps away from the nearest Luoshui River, as long as he could run forward for a few breaths, he could jump into the river and then slip from the bottom of the river.
However, it is a pity that the other party did not intend to give him this opportunity, but at the critical moment, he sent the strongest general in the camp to firmly defend the last pass in front of the Luoshui River.
Shen Lie was in mid-air, and he had no choice but to choose a temporary change. He didn't dare to shake Ye Rongcheng's battle-hardened spear out of thin air, so he used his internal force, changed the light skill to a thousand pound pendant, and fell back to the roof in a blink of an eye, and then retreated quickly, temporarily avoiding the enemy's attack.
Just between this fall and retreat, Shan Tingxian, who was chasing closely from behind, had already grabbed Shen Lie's side, shook his hand with a sword, and slashed at the back of his neck.
Shen Lie felt the sword wind rising behind him, and knew that it was a master coming, so he didn't dare to be a little lazy, so he hurriedly dodged sideways at the last moment, avoiding the sharp sword edge, and then turned around and fought with Shan Tingxian empty-handed.
Ye Rongcheng, who successfully forced Shen Lie back to the roof, also fell back to the ground at this time. He didn't continue to attack, and went up to join forces with Shan Tingxian to flank Shen Lie, but put the iron spear behind his back and watched the confrontation on the roof calmly.
And those masters of the Xuanjia Army who followed Shan Tingxian closely were scattered all over the roof with a very tacit understanding, surrounding Shen Dan and the others, and seemed to be ready to help at any time.
Purely in terms of martial arts internal strength, Shen Lie and Shan Tingxian can be regarded as comparable.
Shen Lie's unique stunt "Wind and Thunder Palm", even if it is placed in the martial arts, it is also a famous and superior kung fu, and it has the style of a grandmaster. Therefore, he did not suffer a loss when he fought Shan Tingxian head-on. All of a sudden, the two of them were on the roof, fighting fiercely for more than 30 rounds, and the fight was inextricable.
Although Shen Lieyi was not afraid of Shan Tingxian's sharp sword in his palms, the key problem was that this was not an ordinary martial arts competition on the rivers and lakes, in addition to facing Shan Tingxian, the top master in front of him, there were still a large number of strong enemies around him and besieging him with heavy troops.
Every time he delayed, Shen Lie's situation would become more dangerous, and once those people swarmed up, I was afraid that it would be difficult for him to leave.
The reason why the other party did not choose to attack him immediately now, but only let Shan Tingxian go out alone and fight with him alone is mainly because they want to find out the details of Shen Lie's kung fu as much as possible, and at the same time, they also hope to use this to consume his strength, so that they can have a chance to capture him alive in the end.
Of course, Shen Lie had already guessed the other party's intentions, and at the same time, he was secretly thinking about countermeasures in his heart, thinking about how to use them. So, while fighting to the death with Shan Tingxian's fist, he carefully observed the surrounding situation.
At present, there are already two people who participate in this round-up operation, and there are already two people with the strongest martial arts: one is Shan Tingxian in front of him, and the other is Ye Rongcheng, who is standing under the room and is responsible for pressing the formation, and the rest of the people are one or two levels worse than them.
Therefore, if you want to succeed in breaking out of the encirclement now, you must start with the two strongest enemies.
The strongest link, and sometimes often the weakest link.
Thinking of this truth, Shen Lie already had a plan in his heart. He suddenly let out a loud shout, flew up in the air, and used the unique skill in the Wind and Thunder Palm Technique, the Five Thunder Thunder Boom, and slammed into Shan Tingxian on the opposite side.
In the face of Shen Lie's nirvana stunt full of internal strength, even Shan Tingxian did not dare to ignore it. Seeing that Shen Lie's flying pounce was approaching, he hurriedly gathered his ten success forces, concentrated his energy on the blade of the sword, and faced Shen Lie's onslaught from top to bottom, swinging his blade upward, ready to fight hard with the other party.
However, what he never expected was that at the critical moment when the iron palm and the sword were about to come into contact, Shen Lie's body shook slightly, making it a false move! Shan Tingxian's sword had just been on the move, and when he was about to swing it, Shen Lie had already turned his body sharply sideways in mid-air, changing the iron palm that was slashing down to a sweep, and the timing was just right, and he skillfully hit the sword that passed by.
It was such a mysterious and mysterious change, which not only made Shan Tingxian use the wrong force and direction, but also caused Shen Lie to use the power of the shock at the moment when he hit the blade of the sword, and suddenly flew out horizontally, directly past the two Xuanjia Army masters on the right, and pounced under the house.
Shan Tingxian's reaction was also extremely fast. As soon as he saw that Shen Lie suddenly changed his tactics halfway, and then turned to Hengfei, he immediately knew that the situation was not good, and immediately without even thinking about it, he shouted down: "General Ye!" ”
According to Shan Tingxian's original intention, this shout was mainly to remind Ye Rongcheng, who was guarding below, in time that Shen Lie's real target might be him, so that he could be careful and ready to intercept.
But who knows, it's okay that Shan Tingxian didn't shout, but suddenly his voice did Shen Lie a great favor.
Ye Rongcheng had been watching the battle under the house before, and he saw that Shen Lie did not fight hard with Shan Tingxian, but skillfully changed his moves, and jumped off the roof with the help of his strength, so he immediately reacted - Shen Lie had other plans.
The experienced Ye Rongcheng immediately made a decision, preparing to jump up again and intercept Shen Lie in mid-air.
But unfortunately, just as Ye Rongcheng was about to take a leap of luck, Shan Tingxian's shout suddenly came from above. Hearing the other party eagerly shouting to himself, Ye Rongcheng was suddenly a little confused, not knowing what was going on above, and couldn't help but be slightly distracted by the shout.
In the final analysis, there is still a lack of necessary tacit understanding between the two.
As a result, the momentum that Ye Rongcheng was about to mention was also relieved a little, causing the originally planned volley move to slow down by half a beat.
When masters compete, the difference between victory and defeat is often in this millimeter.
Ye Rongcheng was slightly stunned, and Shen Lie was already like a falcon, whistling from mid-air. What he used in his hand was the useless "five thunder blasts" that he wanted to use against Shan Tingxian just now!
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.
A martial arts expert like Ye Rongcheng, as long as he looked at Shen Lie's posture, he could immediately distinguish the power of the other party's move, and whether he was sure to carry it down. In addition, Shen Lie had borrowed a bit of internal force from Shan Tingxian's sword qi before, and used the advantage of a dive of more than two zhang high, which was quite a kind of Taishan overwhelming spirit.
According to common sense, if you perceive that the opponent is strong, you should usually choose to avoid its edge first, and then look for opportunities to fight. However, Ye Rongcheng is a well-known fierce general, he never refuses to compromise and retreat easily on the battlefield, and now he has an all-round advantage, and the brave Ye Rongcheng is even more unlikely to think about avoiding Shen Lie's sharpness first.
But helplessly, Shen Lie's speed was too fast, and he pounced on the top of his head in a blink of an eye, and Ye Rongcheng was too late to use enough strength at this moment, so he could only harden his head and hurriedly raise his gun to block upward.
In this way, Shen Lie gathered all his palms and slammed into the barrel of the gun.
Hearing only a muffled bang, Ye Rongcheng suddenly felt that his arms holding the gun were like being electrocuted, sore, and numb, and the position on his chest seemed to have been smashed by a sledgehammer, and the pain was indescribable.
In the case of jumping up in a hurry and lacking preparation, Ye Rongcheng couldn't withstand Shen Lie's heavy attack like a giant mountain at all, and directly spurted blood on the spot and retreated. Thanks to his thick body, he didn't die on the spot, but just staggered backwards four or five steps in a row, and finally sat down on the ground, and at the same time knocked over several Xuanjia soldiers around him.
Shen Lie made a successful move, and secretly sighed in his heart that he was lucky, he didn't dare to delay time, taking advantage of the chaos caused by Ye Rongcheng's injury and falling, and then rushed into the Xuanjia Army without hesitation, making all his moves and killing all sides.
All of a sudden, the complete encirclement formation suddenly appeared in unexpected chaos.
