Chapter 17: The Battle to the Death
"What person?" a man rushed out of the account, holding a heavy sword in his hand, and rushed straight at Fei Shi, "If you come, stay here!"
The heavy sword had already stabbed, and Fei Shi hurriedly rolled over, narrowly avoiding it.
The man missed the stab, his wrist was retracted, and the heavy sword was directly slashed at Fei Shi's throat, and the strain was swift. Fei Shi, who was tumbling, didn't have time to dodge at all, and was about to close his eyes and die, when Bai Wen burst out and kicked the heavy sword away.
The man sighed lightly, took three steps back, pointed the blade of his sword at Bai Wen, and asked, "Who are you?"
"The one who wants your life. Bai Wen complained bitterly in his heart, but his figure swooped up, and the man with the sword was in one place with his bare hands.
"I didn't expect to meet the spies of the Wyvern Army here. Two more men came out of the tent, one of whom was armed with a staff.
"It should be someone from the Dragon's Tooth Army's Wind Camp. The young man said to the mage.
"Hu Gongzi, are you going to live or die?" the mage lifted his staff, and the magic crystal on the end of the staff lit up with a yellow light, and he was ready to release the magic.
"Don't do it with the archmage, let my squire Juan solve it. Hu Gongzi stopped the mage and said confidently, "I, this attendant, returned from studying art in the Sword Saint Palace for three years, and he is a rare good hand among the guards. I brought him to the army, and he hasn't moved for a few months, so let him move. ”
The mage saw that Juan's swordsmanship was swift, and a heavy sword of more than 100 catties was like a ball of white light, enveloping Bai Wen and Fei Shi in the sword light, and firmly gained the upper hand. praised: "It is worthy of being a disciple from the Sword Saint Palace, and the swordsmanship is really good." ”
Bai Wen was surrounded by Juan's sword light, flashing left and right, looking dangerous on the surface, the sharp blade was less than three inches away from his body, and when it was always touching the corner of his clothes, Bai Wen avoided it at that critical moment. Juan's swordsmanship is like a stormy wave, and Bai Wen is a flat boat in the stormy sea.
Although Fei Shi was also covered by the sword light, he was protected by Bai Wen in front of him, and only a few attacks could cross Bai Wen and threaten him. Occasionally, one or two sword lights attacked, and Fei Shi could also dodge or parry with the Hundred Refining Cobalt Blue Knife.
"Juan, hurry up!" Hu Gongzi was a little impatient.
Juan's sword light tightened, and he sped up by three points, and the sharp blade of the sword slammed against Bai's chest. Bai Wen's body retreated violently, and he dodged away in time, although his coat was still half an inch away from the blade, it was still torn, revealing the close-fitting Yunxia spider silk clothes.
"Sword Qi?" Bai Wen was startled, if it weren't for the fact that he was wearing a treasure robe, he would have been injured by Juan's sword qi at this time.
Bai Wen, who has been training in the army for a long time, has long known that although this world is respected by magic, there are still some martial arts cultivators, and their cultivation is mainly to temper the body and stimulate fighting spirit. It's just a martial arts path, and it has long since withered, and now there are very few martial arts cultivators in the world who can inspire fighting spirit. The martial cultivators who can use weapons to stimulate their breath are already the best among them. As soon as Juan slashed his sword, it was with his fighting qi that he stimulated the sword qi, even though the sword qi was only less than an inch.
"If you can force me to do my best, your death will be worth it!" Juan shouted, leaping up and slashing, exuding a faint layer of fighting brilliance around him.
"Run!" Fei Shi crossed Bai Wen and rushed forward, his long knife horizontal, barely holding the falling big sword. The huge force surged, Fei Shi's body trembled, his internal organs were injured, and a mouthful of blood overflowed, and he was shaken out.
"Let's come together, we have to go together!" Bai Wen pulled the crumbling Fei Shi, protected him behind him, and shouted to Juan: "I'll pick you up with a sword." ”
"I admire your courage!" Juan smiled contemptuously, raising his sword and slashing again, even more powerful.
Bai Wen couldn't avoid it, and when he slapped his palms together, he unexpectedly clamped the sword body.
Juan pulled hard, but the big sword didn't move, as if it was embedded in a 10,000-ton boulder.
"Die!" Juan blushed, but instead of pulling his sword, he could only kick it with his foot.
Bai Wen used the demon rabbit kick in the 'beast fighting technique', and Juan's foot was kicked back as soon as he was halfway kicked. Bai Wen made up for the hind foot, hit Juan in the abdomen, and a huge force surged out, Juan's blood spurted wildly, flew out upside down, and fell to the ground.
"Not good!" The tide of battle suddenly reversed, and the onlookers Hu Gongzi and the archmage didn't have time to react at all.
Bai Wen shook his hands, and the big sword sandwiched between his palms flew out, pointing directly at the archmage.
"Hmph!" the archmage snorted coldly, the wand in his hand shone brightly, and a hemispherical earthy yellow magic cover was covered by himself and Hu Gongzi. Most of the sword body pierced into the magic cover, so it could not enter an inch, and the cover bounced out and fell to the ground.
Bai Wen moved quickly, followed by the big sword, and slammed his fist on the magic cover, feeling like he was hitting a dense piece of land, punching half a point, and it could no longer be broken.
"How can this fourth-order magic, the Earth Shield, be broken by an ant like you?" said the archmage with his wand on the ground and sneered.
Bai Wen suddenly felt bad, and rolled on the ground, and a stone cone suddenly rose under his feet. Seeing the sharp stone cone, Bai Wen was afraid for a while, if he hadn't dodged it in time, the stone cone would have pierced his body.
"Interesting. The archmage smiled, chanted a spell in his mouth, and the staff paused on the ground, and said, "I see you can avoid a few." ”
There was a shaking under his feet for no reason, Bai Wen secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly retreated. Everywhere I passed, sharp stone cones kept popping up. In the face of such a 'weird' magic, Bai Wen was very surprised, and when he retreated, he caught a glimpse of Juan who was struggling on the ground, his mind turned sharply, and he jumped and landed on Juan's back.
"Despicable!" the archmage scolded, and with a tap of his staff, he terminated the stone-cone magic.
"Ahh
"Good!" Hu Gongzi drank.
"Look where you're running this time!" said the archmage. The staff swung out, and two dark yellow rays of light rushed into the ground, and the moment Bai Wen landed, they burst out, binding Bai Wen's ankles like ropes, and then turned into stone claws, firmly fixing Bai Wen to the ground.
"Now that you've been caught, it's better to keep it alive, and maybe you can ask for some useful information. Hu Gongzi said to the archmage.
"Alright, then let them taste the petrification technique I've recently developed!" said the archmage, chanting a spell cast.
"Chirp-tweet-" Just when Bai Wen was desperate, two rapid and high-pitched bird calls suddenly came. Bai Wen looked at it, and a griffin broke through the clouds and swooped down, and there was a person sitting on his back, it was the captain Hou Kejie.
In the blink of an eye, the griffin swooped down on the archmage's magic cover, four claws tearing wildly. Originally, there was a yellow light mask with Xu Fangyuan, but it kept shrinking, and it was half less in an instant, and he could no longer protect Hu Gongzi.
Hou Kejie jumped down from the back of the griffin and pounced on Hu Gongzi, everyone intuitively saw a flower in front of them, Hou Kejie already had a short dagger in his hand, which was placed on Hu Gongzi's throat, and with a little force, it could be inserted into the trachea, killing him.
"The strong man spares his life!" Hu Gongzi's face turned pale, and he was so frightened that tears came out, and he cried and said: "My father is Hu Yong, the minister of the Singularity State Decree, and I am his sister-in-law Hu Lian, as long as you let me go, you will not be able to enjoy the glory and wealth in the future." ”
"Oh, is it?" asked Hou Kejie with squinted eyes, two points of light staring at the Archmage who was about to move. Although the griffin had confronted the archmage with all his might, there was still an inexplicable sense of crisis that made Hou Kejie feel unwell.
"Please trust me. "Young Master Hu Lian already felt the cold iron cut through his skin.
"Can you get the mage to put down his weapon?" asked Houkejie.
"Master Anda, you have seen it all, and please follow this... Instructions from the sir. Hu Lian said tremblingly, "If I die, my father will be held responsible, and no one will be able to escape." Even if you are the archmage who has obtained the baron, you will not be able to withstand my father's wrath. ”
"I know. Master An Da threw the staff in his hand sideways and threw it forward.
"Not good. Bai Wen shouted.
I saw that the staff fell to the ground, and in a flash of light, a deep pit suddenly appeared under Hou Kejie's feet, engulfing the two of them at the same time.
Bai Wen rushed forward, wanting to rescue the fallen Hou Kejie. But the entrance to the cave closed too quickly, and when he arrived, the entrance was only the size of a human head, and it could not accommodate a person in or out.
"Let him out, damn it!" Bai Wen Niu shouted at the archmage.
At this time, Master An was dealing with the griffon's hurricane blade with his bare hands, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Bai Wen's shouts.
Countless pale cyan half-moon-shaped wind blades erupted from the griffin's wings and hawk's beak, completely enveloping Master An and Juan.
"If you want me to die, it's not that simple!" the archmage screamed, raising the mage's robe, and suddenly the yellow elemental brilliance flashed and disappeared into Juan's body. Juan, who was panicking, looked stunned, his whole body froze, and a thick layer of rock armor grew in an instant, and Juan became a rock sculpture in the blink of an eye.
The archmage shrank and hid behind Juan, countless wind blades struck the rock armor, leaving deep imprints, and the wind blades lasted for more than half an hour, but they failed to destroy the sculpture after all.
When the Hurricane Blade stopped, the archmage poked his head out slightly, met Bai Wen's fist head-on, rolled a few times in a row, and barely struggled to get up, his face was already blue and purple, swollen to the point that it was not shapely, and the right eye of the fist was even blacker, becoming a panda eye.
Fei Shi rushed forward with a sword, and the archmage who was still dizzy when he saw that he was about to finish, suddenly changed.
A gust of wind blew from the flat ground, sweeping the archmage several meters away, barely able to avoid Fei Shi's blade.
Bai Wen's face changed, and when he looked up, the two griffons that Hu Lian had summoned to forage for food had already arrived and swooped down towards Bai Wen and Fei Shi. The huge eagle's beak was wide open, enough to swallow Bai Wen's entire head alive, and the four lion claws under his body grabbed them together with the eagle claws on both wings. Once grasped, the entire body will be torn to shreds.
Bai Wen pulled Fei Shi, turned his head and ran. Squinted at his own griffons and pounced on the two enemy griffins. The strong wind swept by, and Bai Wen and Fei Shi both stumbled.
The three griffins fought in one place, and for a while, the eagle feathers flew sideways with the lion meat, and blood was splattered everywhere. The griffons of their own side are one against two, and in the blink of an eye, they are defeated, and it is difficult to continue.
The battle situation was instantly tilted towards the enemy, and Juan's rock armor had begun to loosen, Bai Wen knew that something was wrong, and he pulled his legs and fled.
"Want to escape?" the archmage snorted, his hands pressed to the ground, and a quick incantation in his mouth. An earthen wall burst out and stopped Bai Wen and the others.
There was a faint figure wriggling in the earthen wall, it was Hu Lian, the eldest son of Hu who sank into the hole at the beginning of the battle. Hou Kejie, who sank with him, was not inside the earthen wall.
"Oops!" the archmage had a bad premonition, and rolled forward on the spot, reaching for the staff that had fallen to the ground. Suddenly, a dagger with a cold light burst out of the ground and stabbed into the archmage's stomach, causing blood to flow all over the ground. Archmage: 'Ahhh Screamed a few times and quickly rolled away. The staff he grabbed in his hand and threw it with a pale yellow glow from time to time, as if he was preparing some kind of magic.
Fei Shi picked up the knife in his hand and reflexively pounced on the archmage, wanting to finish it with a single sword.
The archmage in the severe pain reacted slowly, and he was stabbed in the arm, but he actually avoided Fei Shi's more than a dozen attacks, and finally sent out the magic that had been brewing for a long time. The yellow light flashed, and the magic used was actually rock armor, and the object was actually himself. The archmage had obviously made a plan, as long as after a while, his two griffons would be able to destroy the other party's griffins, and with the assistance of the two griffins, Bai Wen and the three of them could only wait to be killed.
Victory was in sight, and the archmage smiled smugly, his smiling face stiffening as his skin petrified.
Hou Kejie, who was hiding underground, rushed out, jumped up, and quickly pierced down with a sharp dagger, stabbing smoothly through the cover of the archmage's heavenly gate. Then he pulled it hard, and the dagger had been completely stuck by the rocky shell, but it could never be pulled out again.
"It's a pity that this good dagger!" Hou Kejie's regret flashed and he said loudly: "Go!"
The three of them worked together and headed for the edge of the cliff.
At this moment, the griffon, who had been fighting for a long time, finally let out a wail and fell to the ground, unable to move, and the two winning griffons did not hesitate to pounce on the three of them.
Hou Kejie's face changed, and he turned around to attack the griffin that pounced. tried to sacrifice himself in exchange for a chance for Bai Wen and Fei Shi to live.
"If you want to escape, give me death!" Juan, who was petrified, stared at his eyes and shouted, and the rock armor was instantly lifted, wielding a big sword and cutting at Bai Wen and Fei Shi.
"Captain!" Fei Shi shouted. Hou Kejie kept rolling on the ground, dodging the trampling of the two griffins, his short and sturdy body was already bloody, death was a blink of an eye, but he was still trying to support it.
"Let's go!" Bai Wen dragged Fei Shi and threw him over the earthen wall, and his body couldn't help but pause.
Juan's great sword cut in an instant, straight to the point.
Bai Wen had already used the true qi in his body with all his strength, his perception was greatly improved, he had eyes on the back of his head, his legs were short, and he rolled forward twice, and he actually dodged Juan's big sword. Shuang Shang pushed as hard as he could, using the 'Dragon Eclipse Sun' and pushing it towards the earthen wall in front of him. This move is one of the most powerful moves in "Beast Fighting", and Bai Wen has been practicing for a long time, but he still hasn't been able to fully master it. In a hurry, the unreserved fortune of the true qi was quite amazing, and there was a faint sound of mountains and tsunamis. A thick earthen wall collapsed and flew away, and a huge human-shaped hole was photographed.
It turned out that Bai Wen's palm was hitting the earthen wall where Hu Lian was, and poor Hu Gongzi who was buried in the wall collapsed before he could call for help.
"No!" Seeing his son-in-law fall apart, Juan shouted, his body rushed forward, and the big sword in his hand kept slashing.
"Oops!" Bai Wen, who was on the run, suddenly caught a glimpse of Juan, who was like crazy, and his body flashed, and he actually unleashed a sword qi and swept towards Fei Shi's back.
didn't have time to think about it at the moment, Bai Wen exerted force under his feet, and pounced on it, and the crescent-shaped sword qi slashed on his back.
"Tear and pull—" The clothes on Bai Wen's back were instantly torn, revealing a huge wound more than a foot long and deep to the bone, and blood was pouring out. Bai Wen endured the severe pain, and violently pushed Fei Shi out of the cliff, and he also fell, and then passed out.
Juan rushed to the edge of the cliff and looked down, only to see the clouds and mist, and the two people who fell were long gone.
"This place is thousands of feet high, and falling down will inevitably end up being shattered. Juan muttered, "It can be regarded as avenging the young master." ”
There was a miserable cry from behind him, and Hou Kejie was besieged by two griffins, but he finally failed to hold on, and was torn apart by a grab, and the rain of blood fell, staining the cliff red.
"If the prince Hu Lian dies, the lord will definitely investigate, my protector is not good, and with the cruel character of the lord, he will definitely kill me in the most cruel way. At this moment, if I go back to the barracks to report the situation, I will definitely not be able to escape, instead of throwing myself into the net and waiting to be killed, it is better to escape now and seek the protection of the Sword Saint Palace, maybe there is still a glimmer of life!" Juan thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind to send a griffon away, and he rode the one he left behind, and flew into the distance.
Juan didn't know that because of this departure, the delay of the military plane had a huge impact on the war situation between the two countries.
