Chapter Eighty-Nine: Rare Integrity
What should come will come after all, and you can't leave it to chance. Chu Xiuyang pulled his bow and released the arrow, and as soon as he used his strength, the wound became more and more painful, as if a knife cut through flesh.
Still, she gritted her teeth, and the arrows shot one after the other. Her archery skills are superb, and every time she shoots an arrow, a demon clan falls.
Although the sneak attack of the demon clan caught everyone off guard, when the soldiers reacted, they all took up arms to fight with them, so the demon clan did not take much advantage.
After the demon clan charged down from the mountain, it was not as dense as in the past, but it was scattered, and it didn't seem to be much, and there was a sense of thunder and rain.
The reason is that at that time, the gluttony ordered that only 5,000 soldiers and horses were given to the beetle snake to ambush, which was indeed a little less. And there are still 15,000 soldiers in Tanglin Pass here, even if the demon clan is brave and good at fighting, it is not easy to fight with one enemy and three.
When everyone found out that the number of demon clans was not large, their morale was greatly boosted, but the demon clan refused to back down, and the battle situation was stalemate.
In the middle of the mountains and forests, a long black snake hid behind a tree, and its eyes looked at the situation in the river valley with a sly look.
It looked at it for a long time, but found no trace of the swordsman it was looking for, and then it was relieved.
Suddenly, it spread its wings, which were as thin as cicada's wings, flapped its wings and flew towards the bottom of the valley. The towering tree was vulnerable in front of it, and fell like wheat, and suddenly the dust flew and the ground trembled.
The beetle snake is not the only big demon in this ambush, with it, there are also two big demons of the Eight Realms.
One is a white wolf, with a pure white coat, like the snow that does not melt in the mountains all year round; The other is a huge goshawk with a wingspan of four or five zhang long, and at this time it also flies high with the wings of the beetle snake, and its wings cover the sky and the sun, and the sky is suddenly darkened.
These three big demons are the confidence why gluttony dares to only give the snake 5,000 soldiers and horses to ambush. The big demon made a move, unless there were monks in the same realm to stop it, no matter how many soldiers came, it was useless.
It was precisely because of the lack of great monks in Tanglin Pass that he did so. If it is said that it is in the Tanglin Pass, you can also send a message to the Xingyue Sect and ask them to send a great monk to support, but at this time in this river valley, how to report to the Xingyue Sect?
All they can rely on is themselves. The three demons struck with a strong wind, and their actions turned the tide in an instant.
Just a casual slap or a step on it, many soldiers fell, and no one could stop them for a while. Seeing this, Yin Zishi and Xia Ying, the two Seven Realm cultivators, as well as several other Six Realm cultivators, hurriedly joined forces, each used their own magical powers, and went to stop them without hesitation.
However, with only two Seven Realm monks and a few Six Realm monks, it is good to be able to entangle an Eight Realm Great Demon, not to mention an Eight Realm Great Demon and Nine Realm Snakes.
Even with all the efforts of the monks, they were still in danger. Just by accident, a monk of the Six Realms was slapped to the ground by the white wolf, and before he could even scream, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and died immediately.
When the rest of the monks saw it, they couldn't help but feel chills. However, if they don't go up, who else can stop these big demons?
Therefore, all the monks had to grit their teeth, and they all really fought for their lives, and none of them were afraid to fight. Chu Xiuyang saw that the monk's situation was critical, and she was so anxious that she couldn't do it, but she glanced at the crowd a few times, but she never saw Xu Huaigu's figure, so anxious that she hurriedly shouted: "Xu Huaigu!" Xu Huaigu! Where are you! Hurry up! ”
"Xu Huaigu!" But no matter how loudly she shouted, the figure did not appear. Seeing this situation, the beetle snake became more and more proud, and simply sprinkled all his resentment against Xu Huaigu on all the soldiers.
The army was defeated, so they had to retreat to the mountains while defending against the demon clan, suffering heavy casualties. Chu Xiuyang watched one soldier after another fall, his heart was full of grief, and he pulled his bow harder and harder, but the arrow full of strength was no different from the rain on a rainy day to the big demon, and it could not cause any damage.
One quiver was empty, and she removed the other on her horse and continued to draw her bow. A few scattered demons rushed to her side, and she drew her knife angrily, the tip of the knife stained with blood.
Her wound couldn't help but toss like this, it had already burst open, and the red blood also stained the armor on her chest.
But no matter how desperately she tried to kill the demon, defeat was a foregone conclusion. She felt guilty in her heart, she had led these soldiers to a dead end, and she was here to pay for her life.
At this moment, Chu Xiuyang has already made up her mind, she will not retreat, she will stand here and fight the demon clan to the death until the last bit of strength is gone.
What family, what expectations, what parting and reunion, she didn't even have such a thought flashing in her mind.
She killed the red eye, the demon clan was far away, she drew the bow, if she was close, she drew the sword, only these two things, the rest of the ignorance.
Seeing the defeat of the human race, the beetle snake led by him seemed to have finally come out of his evil spirit, and excitedly spit out the snake letter,
"Hiss" laughed. Chu Xiuyang saw the beetle snake, she took out an arrow with an expressionless face, put it on the string, and raised her hand to pull out the bow of the full moon.
Blood was pouring down her wounds, and she didn't know it, she just squinted at it and let go. The arrow was so powerful that it struck the snake in the cheek, then snapped in two and fell to the ground.
The beetle snake couldn't laugh anymore, it withdrew its snake letter and looked viciously in the direction where the arrow was flying. When it saw that it was just an ordinary person, its eyes became sarcastic.
It turned its head and looked away, as if dismissive of the man, when another arrow struck, this time in its wing.
Although it was not injured, it was completely enraged. The beetle snake flew towards Chu Xiuyang and landed in front of her.
The huge body of the beetle snake was entrenched on the ground, dozens of feet long, and the small woman who was shooting an arrow was only about the size of its nostrils.
The beetle snake is full of self-consciousness. It bowed its head, stretched out its head to the woman, and then stopped in front of her, and exhaled, when a foul-smelling wind struck, and it looked at the woman with contempt.
It thought that the woman would flee in a panic, but Chu Xiuyang just stood still, did not retreat or let go, and also looked back fiercely.
A person and a snake look at each other, one big and one small, one strong and one weak, like a world apart, but the momentum is equal.
The beetle snake was still a little puzzled, wondering why this person was not as afraid of it as the rest of the ordinary people, but Chu Xiuyang did something even more surprising.
She drew her sword from its sheath and slashed it hard at the snake's face, but the snake did not move, and the look in her eyes began to be doubtful, and then to anger.
Chu Xiuyang held the handle of the knife tightly and sneered, "I'm not afraid of you." The beetle snake finally couldn't bear it anymore, roared violently, and immediately raised its tail, and was about to smash it down at Chu Xiuyang.
Xu Huaigu suffered a loss from this trick last time, and a high-grade magic weapon rank robe was scrapped alive.
Seeing the beetle snake make a move, Chu Xiuyang closed his eyes, thinking that this would be the end of this life. Dealing with an ordinary person, the beetle snake didn't spare the slightest hand, this tail used all its strength, and before it hit the ground, a strong wind blew from above, Chu Xiuyang gritted his teeth and stood deadly, so he didn't kneel to the ground.
Just when she thought she was going to die, she suddenly heard someone shout
"General!" , and then someone held her hand tightly, and then she felt that her figure shook, although it was only for a moment, but it felt like she had gone far away.
Chu Xiuyang hurriedly opened his eyes and saw that it was Fan Xuan who rushed out of nowhere, took his hand, and made a ground-shrinking talisman, which dodged the fatal blow of the beetle snake.
Fan Xuan's appearance also looked very embarrassed, her robe was torn in several places, and she was out of breath. The beetle snake smashed down, only to see that the ground was suddenly dusty, and a deep dent suddenly appeared, and its strength was self-evident.
When the beetle snake saw that someone had come to save her, her own trick fell into vain, and she was immediately annoyed and angry, so she wanted to raise her head and flap her wings to chase and kill the two again.
However, before its head could be raised, a swift sword broke through the air and stabbed it into the neck with a fierce sword, causing the snake to suffer pain, and immediately rolled and wailed desperately.
Chu Xiuyang and Fan Xuan were both taken aback, and hurriedly looked over, but they didn't know where the sword came from. The sword, which was more than three feet long, was more than half inserted.
Needless to say, the beetle snake was already bleeding, and what was even more odious was that the sword intent of this sword had penetrated into its flesh and skin, wantonly destroying, like countless small knives cutting flesh, and the pain was incomparable.
This sword intent is very familiar to it, and the last time it was injured, it was also the sword intent of this sword pair. It's the guy who fought with him last time here!
Fear crept through its mind, and it forced itself to pull itself together and looked around a few times, but couldn't find where the sword came from.
Suddenly, an ominous premonition rose in its heart, and subconsciously, it did not dare to stay here, and quickly flapped its wings and flew into the air, intending to escape.
However, it had only just taken off, and there was another flying sword waiting for a long time. A sword flew in, and the white rainbow pierced through the sun, cutting off one of the wings cleanly, and suddenly the beetle snake fell from the air to the ground, rolling desperately, so frightened that Fan Xuan hurriedly took Chu Xiuyang back for a long distance, so as not to be affected by the crazy beetle snake.
A sword was stuck in his neck, and one of his wings was severed, and the snake was in great pain, and howled more and more desperately, and the cry was terrible to the marrow.
"You fool! Don't you know how to write the words "Neck and Death"? There was a sneer, and one of them walked out of nowhere, mocking the beetle.
The man was dressed in black, with a sword at his waist, and he looked very calm in the face of the beetle snake.
"Xu Huaigu?" Chu Xiuyang and Fan Xuan both saw him and exclaimed in surprise. Chu Xiuyang thought that after Xu Huaigu quarreled with her yesterday, he simply left in a fit of anger, and sure enough, he was not such a person.
He's been hiding in the shadows, just for this chance to kill the beetle.
"Shhh When the beetle snake saw that it was Xu Huaigu, his eyes were red with anger, and he screamed. As the saying goes, the trapped beast is still fighting, at this time the beetle snake was injured by Xu Huaigu's flying sword, but the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, it still has the capital to fight with Xu Huaigu, after all, its realm is really high Xu Huaigu.
If there is a fight, it is not necessarily who loses or who wins.
"Close!" Xu Huaigu raised his hand, and the flying sword on the neck of the beetle snake trembled slightly, and then it was pulled out violently, and the beetle snake wailed again.
Another Heart Lake Flying Sword also came with his heart, and the two swords surrounded him, Xu Huaigu pulled out the Phoenix Feather Sword, clenched it in his hand, and faced the behemoth.
The beetle snake suffered a loss, but the blood angered it even more. It also knew in its heart that its wings were injured, and it would definitely not be able to walk away by itself, and the only way to survive was to kill Xu Huaigu, so it was also ruthless and determined to fight for your life.
One person and one demon stood facing each other, the sword was tense, and the killing intent was awe-inspiring. Seeing that there was trouble on the beetle snake's side, the other two Eight Realms Great Demons also stopped killing and hurried to the beetle snake's side to help.
Seeing that there were many enemies, Yin Zishi and other monks also rushed over and stood beside Xu Huaigu.
Everyone said arrogantly: "Xu Daoyou, we can't be missing from killing demons!" Even if you let go of your hand and fight with that beast, these two little bastards can't make a move against you, and we will help you stop them! ”
"Well said, we're not vegetarians either! These brutes have pushed us into a hurry, even if they risk their lives, we have to give them some color and see! "Three big demons, a group of monks, the two sides are fighting, and they are about to break out.
Fan Xuan stretched out her hand to protect Chu Xiuyang and said, "The general will leave first, I will stay and help." Chu Xiuyang argued: "No, I want to stay!" Fan Xuan glanced at Chu Xiuyang's heart, where the wound was cracked, and the blood stained the clothes red, oozing out of the cracks in the soft armor, which was miserable.
Fan Xuan frowned and said, "If the general stays, not only will he not be able to help anything, but it will make Xu Huaigu and I have some scruples." Besides, the army needs the general alive to continue to command the soldiers, and the general can't die now. Chu Xiuyang gritted her teeth, glanced at the robe on Fan Xuan's body again, and said, "Miss Fan, I owe you a life, I will definitely pay it back, you must give me this opportunity!" Take care! Fan Xuan also said: "Take care of the general, there will be a period later." Chu Xiuyang endured the pain and stepped onto the horse, pinched the horse's belly, and shouted
"Drive!" , and galloped to the place where the army had retreated to the north. Fan Xuan walked into the monk's camp, took out several talismans from his cuffs, and twisted out one of the thunder talismans, and suddenly the dark clouds gathered in the air, and the thunder rolled.
The beetle snake roared, twisted its body quickly, and pounced towards Xu Huaigu, and Xu Huaigu's two flying swords were even faster, head-on.
The white wolf and the goshawk also rushed to the monks, and the monks sacrificed their own magic weapons to watch the house, and they did not give in.
A tragic battle unfolded in the unknown mountains and forests to the south.
