02 Smashing corpses

It turned out that the young man who rescued Xian Jingyue at this moment was Zhao Xiaoling, the "Little Dragon King" of the Xiangjun in the past, and he was also the grandson Mo Ming, the leader of the Shenhuo Sect. When he was invited to Jinling by the current emperor, who knew that he sank on a boat for no reason on the way, fortunately he was rescued by the Mo family giant Mo Hanshan, and then for more than ten years, he has been imprisoned by the Mo family in the Mo Tower in the north vein of the Tianshan Mountains. Not long ago, he broke out of the Mo Tower at the instigation of Ning Cui and Xie Yixiang, but was stopped by the Mo family led by Mo Hanshan.

Because Zhao Xiaoling insisted on leaving Mota with Ning Cui, and was unwilling to continue to serve as the leader of the Shenhuo Sect, after a scuffle between the three forces, Zhao Xiaoling was accidentally attacked by the six masters of the Shenhuo Sect and the Mo family, sealing the acupoints around his body. In order to resolve the deadlock, Yan Sidao proposed a gamble, asking Ning Cui and Xie Yixiang to take Zhao Xiaoling to escape for two hours first, and then the Shenhuo Sect and the Mo family would chase after him, and whoever caught Zhao Xiaoling first could take it for himself; if neither side could capture Zhao Xiaoling before he could unlock it, then they could only let this Gongsun Sect Leader fly into the darkness and the sky was wide.

Just as Zhao Xiaoling and his entourage were about to leave Mota, the mysterious little Taoist priest Xie Yixiang met in Bifu a few days ago suddenly appeared, and he was disguised as a soldier who had been mixed into the Wu'er sergeant brought by Yan Sidao. Then Deyizi called for battle on the spot to Yan Sidao, wanting to help Zhao Xiaoling and his party escape from the pursuit of the Shenhuo Sect and the Mo family, so as to win the gamble. The words had been spoken, so they had to accept it, so under the plan of De Yizi, the four of them avoided the pursuit of the Divine Fire Sect all the way, and then divided into two ways, allowing Zhao Xiaoling and Ning Cui to escape south from the northern veins of the Tianshan Mountains and enter the wilderness in the south. Due to the ingenious arrangement of De Yizi, the Venerable Jishui who came to chase after him was clever, and actually turned around in front of the mountain wall south of the northern vein of the Tianshan Mountains, and instead chased Xie Yixiang and De Yizi, allowing Zhao Xiaoling and Ning Cui to escape under his nose.

In this way, Zhao Xiaoling and Ning Cui became birds out of the cage and fish in the water, and hurriedly ran south, and an hour later, the acupoints around Zhao Xiaoling's body were unlocked one after another, and his feet were even more like flying. Later, he directly carried Ning Cui behind him and ran, and his speed was as fast as lightning. And because of a momentary mistake, the two Venerables of the Divine Fire Sect, Jishui and Minghuo, although they led the crowd to desperately chase south, they didn't say that they caught up with the two of them, and even the two of them could not be found.

After that, Zhao Xiaoling and Ning Cui followed the route drawn up by De Yizi, all the way through the wilderness south of the northern vein of the Tianshan Mountains, and then crossed the middle vein of the Tianshan Mountains, and arrived at the Luntai in the Han and Tang dynasties. Because Zhao Xiaoling was the leader of the Shenhuo Sect when he was the leader of the Shenhuo Sect, he had been baptized by the Shenhuo Sect of "being reborn and passing on the secret method", and he had the skills of more than a dozen Shenhuo Sect masters for nearly 400 years, even if he ran wildly day and night, he did not feel tired at all, and the original journey of more than ten days was completed in only six days, and then he changed to the east and went to the direction of the Central Plains. However, if you want to go from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, you naturally have to pass through Yumen Pass, the first line of defense of the Han people in the northwest.

It is said that the two of them hurried for days, and when they were still dozens of miles away from Yumen Pass, they had already discovered the Four-Nation Alliance army heading to Yumen Pass. The two did not want to cause more trouble, so they detoured from the north and arrived under the city wall north of Yumen Pass. Although the wall of Yumen Pass is more than 20 zhang high, where can Zhao Xiaoling be stopped? He let Ning Cui carry it on his back, inserted his hands into the masonry of the city wall, and climbed the wall of Yumen Pass one by one.

It wasn't until the two of them climbed the city wall of Yumen Pass that they found that the garrison in the pass did not know what had happened, and they actually killed each other on the city wall, almost killing and wounding each other. Later, the troops of the Four Nations Alliance came to the city, and the two of them traveled south along the city wall, near the city gate, and naturally found the battle outside the city gate. After all, Zhao Xiaoling and Ning Cui were teenagers, and they relied on the courage of their masters, so they quietly came to the outward raised city wall on the right side of the city gate, intending to find out. At that time, Xian Jingyue was fighting against thousands of troops in front of the city gate, attracting the attention of the masters under Prince Geshu on the city wall, coupled with the light skills of Zhao Xiaoling and Ning Cui, no one even noticed the two of them.

You must know that although Zhao Xiaoling's identity is extremely prominent, and he is second only to the martial arts alliance leader Wen Tianting on the "Jianghu Celebrity List", he has become famous since he was a child, and he has been imprisoned in Mota for more than ten years, and he has hardly said a word to others, so although he is now twenty-five or sixteen years old, his mind is still in his teens, and his thoughts are like children. Seeing that the first Jingyue in front of the city gate was outnumbered, and one person and one knife killed the sergeants and sergeants of the Semu people on their backs, Zhao Xiaoling's blood boiled and he was eager to try on the spot, and he admired this Han young man of the same age as himself.

And Prince Geshu on the city wall saw that the soldiers were suffering heavy casualties and losing their fighting spirit, so he ordered Xian Jingyue to be shot on the spot. But Zhao Xiaoling himself is a Han Chinese, because he was born poor, he can be said to have suffered enough from the foreign races of the previous dynasty when he was a child, and was later accepted as a righteous son by the "Nine Dragon King" of the Xiangjun, and became the leader of the Shenhuo Sect in a daze. So in the depths of Zhao Xiaoling's heart, he has always hated the alien race of the previous dynasty very much, seeing that a Han person like Xian Jingyue was shot indiscriminately by the other party with crossbow arrows, he couldn't tell what the difference between the Semu people and the alien race of the previous dynasty was, he only knew that he should stand on the side of the Han people, and suddenly had a heart of hatred for the enemy, and he couldn't hold it anymore, so he jumped off the city wall to help the moon first.

At this time, with Zhao Xiaoling smashing the corpses into the crowd, the Semu sergeant in front of the city gate couldn't avoid it, so he had to retreat backwards, and successively withdrew from the gap in the "concave" structure in front of the Yumen Gate. However, at this time, there were as many as 80,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, although the sergeants in front had been frustrated one after another, and their hearts were cold, but the sergeants in the back did not know why, and they rushed forward like a tide, but they were immediately hit by the corpse smashed by Zhao Xiaoling, and fell down in a large area, unable to move forward at all.

In less than a moment, Zhao Xiaoling had smashed out all the corpses on the ground beside him, and when he stretched out his hand again, he suddenly felt empty. Although his internal strength is unparalleled in the world, he suffers from having no foundation in martial arts, and in addition to smashing his corpse into the crowd, he doesn't know how to resist the black crowd in front of him for a while. In a panic, he turned his head to look and found that there was a large circle of corpses piled up next to Xian Jingyue, almost stacked into a fortress, besieging Xian Jingyue in it. Zhao Xiaoling rushed to Xian Jingyue's side, came to pick up the corpse here, and continued to smash it into the crowd that rushed up.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Xian Jingyue had already lost consciousness, and the murderous aura in his mind sensed that someone was approaching, how could he still distinguish between friend and foe? As soon as Zhao Xiaoling approached, the Glaive Knife in Xian Jingyue's hand was already raised high, and once again used that unstoppable move of the gods and Buddhas to "split Huashan alone" and slashed down at Zhao Xiaoling's head.
