Chapter Twenty-Five: The Bloodshed of the Heroes

Bai Chengyan is a disciple of Xingyi Sect, and his first-hand sword technique is quite famous in the martial arts in the southeast of Sichuan.

At the age of thirty-six, he set up his own business and started a silk business, and it was not until he was forty years old that he made a small fortune and had a wife and children.

Bai Yu's martial arts were taught by his father, Bai Chengyan. At the age of fifteen, he gradually took over the burden from his elderly father and started the family silk business.

Twenty-one years ago, eighteen-year-old Bai Yu got acquainted with Fang Zhiju, who was only the master of Qiankun Hall at the time, and was very impressed by him, so he became a matchmaker and introduced his sister Bai Xiang to him. The two fell in love at first sight, and soon became husband and wife, and Bai Yu also got what he wanted, and happily became the brother-in-law of Fang Gathering.

As the old saying goes, when you fight a tiger, you fight a father and son.

Although Fang Zhiju and Bai Yu are not brothers, they are similar.

Thunder roared and rain poured down.

Fang Zhiju and Bai Yu wore bamboo hats on their heads and wore robes, standing behind the tooth-shaped battlements at the head of the wall, looking at the enemy at the ear city through the heavy rain curtain.

It was dark and bright, and the enemy still didn't move.

"Big brother, the rain is too strong, and the enemy shouldn't attack. Let's go back and rest for a while!" Bai Yu proposed.

"Go ahead, I'll watch!" Fang said.

"Big brother, you've been tired for so many days, it's better to go back and rest for a while! I'll take a look!" Bai Yu said.

Fang Zhiju glanced at him, nodded, and said, "Okay! Once the enemy attacks, come and notify me!"

Five men lined up, holding the transmitter spring of the catapult in front of them, ready to smash stones at the enemy group at any moment.

Dozens of archers stood on the platform, ready to deal with the enemy who came to set up a ladder.

More than 100 gangs were distributed on the battlement walls on both sides of the city gate, holding swords in their hands, hiding behind the battlements and waiting.

Dozens of gangs hid behind the mouth of the rock, holding rolling stones and sassal wood, ready to deal with the enemy who was approaching the city wall.

More than 100 gangsters were eating and resting in the city, replacing the brothers who were defending the city on time.

Yu Huantie led everyone to squat under the wall behind the ear city to rest. The torrential rain was like a note, "crackling" on everyone's bamboo hats, like the sound of a pot of broad beans bursting.

The crowd cowered like birds in a storm, complaining about the damned rainstorm while taking out dry food to feed their hunger.

Yu Huantie squatted on his body, his back was already soaked without a coat, and it was cold against his skin, but he didn't realize it, his body was motionless, and a pair of shining eyes were shining in the dark.

"Brother Yu, let's eat something!" He Protector, who was crouching next to him with a sheathed sword under his left armpit, handed him a pack of pancakes.

"Thank you!" Yu Huantie took the pancake and took it for a while, the pancake was already half wet. Yu Huantie bit half of the pancake in one go, chewed it a few times, half-tilted his neck, and connected several water columns that had slipped down the bamboo hat into his mouth, and the tiger whale swallowed the food in his mouth.

Tang Lifeng stepped on the stagnant water, walked over with a "bang, bang, bang", and asked loudly: "Brother Yu, the rain is so heavy, do we still want to attack tonight?"

"Temptation and temptation!" Yu Huan said: "It's still the same as before, I will lead the shield bearers and shooters to rush forward, and you will lead everyone to follow." ”

Tang Lifeng knew that this would kill and injure many brothers, so he hesitated.

"Since ancient Huashan, there is no other way!" Yu Huantie said resolutely: "Brother, don't worry, I won't do it brutally, once the form is not good, we will withdraw." ”

Yu Huantie stood up and said loudly: "Brothers, listen to my orders!"

Purple light flowed, and Yu Huantie held the purple light phantom sword in his hand, leading everyone to rush to the east gate.

In the darkness, the sound of shouts, rain, arrows, and reeds were mixed together, and from time to time there were muffled snorts and screams.

In the whistling sound, black cobblestones flew down from the wall, "bang" and "bang" smashed into the crowd, and wails came and went.

The walls were nearly two feet high, and most of the gang members could not jump up to them.

Yu Huantie led dozens of people with higher martial arts skills to rush while striking arrows, and in the blink of an eye, they had rushed to the city wall. In the sound of "boom", the city head knocked down the wood and rolling stones.

The purple light flashed, cutting the rain curtain, splitting the wood, and Yu Huantie jumped down the wall. The steel knives of the seven and eight ** were glowing with cold light, and they slashed down at him in the upper, middle and lower three ways.

Yu Huantie shouted violently, and a circle of purple light curtains appeared in front of him, and in the sound of "sonor" and "sonor", the steel knives were knocked open one after another, and they landed steadily on the wall.

The width of the wall was less than a zhang, and he couldn't spread his body, Bai Yu led eight sword masters of the Divine Arm City, clamped Yu Huantie on both sides, and attacked in turn. Yu Huantie flashed and moved, moving his sword like the wind, and within a few rounds, two swordsmen were slashed under the sword, and one swordsman was slapped in the chest by him with a palm, and blood spurted wildly in his mouth.

He Protector led more than 20 masters to jump onto the wall one after another, and the two sides quickly engaged in hand-to-hand combat at the head of the wall, and the sound of swords clashing was endless.

Fang gathered more than a dozen subordinates such as Lu Lingchu and Xuan Yong to jump onto the wall and slashed several enemies.

With a "bang", a sword flashed with cold light, and stabbed down towards Fang Zhiju's throat. Fang Zhi was stunned, retreated half a step, shook his wrist and sealed the incoming sword with a sword, and looked at it, it turned out that the person who came out of the sword was He Protector.

Both of them abandoned the rest of their opponents and fought together without saying a word. He Protector is nicknamed 'Divine Sword Chasing Soul', the sword is fast and ruthless, and the square sword gathering method is also fast and spiritual, the two have similar characteristics and similar skills, and in the blink of an eye, they tumbled and dismantled more than 30 moves, and they couldn't hold each other for a while.

Bai Yu drank violently, unfolded the ** knife technique, and the seven-star knife glowed with pieces of cold light, attacking Yu Huantie like a raging storm. Yu Huantie resisted while wandering vertically and horizontally to injure the enemy, and after more than 20 combinations, only two of the remaining five swordsmen remained.

Yu Huantie stared at Bai Yu and sneered, "It's your turn!" The purple light flashed, and two swords in a row fell towards Bai Yu like a terrifying wave. Bai Yu retreated, and at the same time struggled to block the two swords, only to be shocked to the chest and numbness.

"Let go!" Yu Huantie's eyes flashed, and with a "sonorous" sound, the seven-star knife was swept away by a sword. White Feather landed and rolled on the ground, avoiding the chest-grabbing sword. Several helpers rushed up and blocked Yu Huantie, so that he could not continue to pursue Bai Yu.

Yu Huantie resisted, and at the same time used his eyes and ears, and found that seven or eight of the brothers who jumped on the wall had fallen, and the brothers outside the city were attacked by arrows, wood, stones, and catapults, and suffered heavy casualties, and the brothers who took the ladder rarely rushed close to the city.

"Withdraw!" Yu Huantie immediately made a decision and shouted loudly.

He Protector also gave up the gathering and quickly moved closer to Yu Huantie, and the two of them entered the flock like wolves, quickly killing and scattering the Divine Arm City gang besieging their brothers, and protecting them to jump out of the city.

After a while, the battle between the two sides stopped, and Yu Huantie led the gang to retreat to Ercheng.

In this confrontation, Yu Huantie's side killed and injured more than 70 people, and Shenarm City also killed and injured more than 20 gangsters.

Yu Huantie and Tang Lifeng both blushed, and after discussion, they decided to attack again tomorrow.

※※※

By dawn the next day, the rain had stopped. Last night's rainstorm did not extinguish the slightest spark of the sun, and the bright red fireball still struggled out slowly from the distant mountains, and it was not long before the sun shone brightly.

Bai Yu never closed his eyes all night, and at this time he was standing on the wall with the handle of the knife in his hand, overlooking the endless distant mountains under the morning sun, the green fields, and the rippling river.

"Great rivers and mountains!" Bai Yu muttered to himself. He is not the queen of Li, although he has a similar state of mind, he can't sigh "infinite rivers and mountains, sometimes easy to see and sometimes difficult".

For most of the day, Yu Huantie led everyone to launch five more attacks on Divine Arm City. But he did not let everyone storm it, but aimed at destroying the living force, sometimes leading more than a dozen masters to jump on the wall to kill the enemy, and sometimes retreating outside the city to shoot with a strong bow and crossbow.

By the end of the Shen Dynasty, only fifty or sixty people had been killed or wounded on Yu Huantie's side, but another eighty or ninety people had been killed or wounded in Shenjian City, and the number of people killed or wounded under Yu Huantie's sword and strong bow alone reached fifty-three.

"Go all out and take the Divine Arm City tonight!" Yu Huantie squinted at the east gate and said firmly.

"The enemy should still have more than 200 people to fight, if he can't attack the east gate, it will still be difficult to shake tonight!" Tang Lifeng frowned.

"Therefore, we must have the lives of the three armies!" Yu Huantie said in a sonorous voice, "He Protector, please transfer all the people of the Cai Gang Leader and abandon the waterway! If the enemy wants to escape from the waterway, they will flee...... Anyway, as long as they give up the Divine Arm City, they will no longer be able to compete!"

About half a pillar of incense time, Cai Zhenxiong led the Zhongshan Gang to arrive.

"Gang Leader Cai, Gang Leader Shi, Gang Leader Shi, please come over for a moment!" Yu Huantie beckoned to the three of them.

The three gang leaders all expected that a difficult task was coming, and walked over nervously.

"Your task is: Gang Master Shi and Gang Master Shi are responsible for leading the brothers to build a ladder, and Gang Master Cai is responsible for leading the brothers to break through the city gate. Yu Huantie commanded.

"This ......" The three gang leaders exchanged glances with each other, hesitate and did not answer.

"Eighty percent of the operating profits of Divine Arm City and Cuiping Fort will be shared equally by you. Seeing that the three gang leaders suddenly increased from 40 percent to 80 percent, they were overjoyed and agreed repeatedly.

In the evening, more than 1,000 enemies, led by Yu Huantie, launched a general attack on Shenjian City.

More than 400 members of the Jinsha Gang and the Zhuhai Gang, under the cover of the fire of the Tang Sect disciples, rushed to the city one after another to set up a cloud ladder, and arrows, sassal wood, and rolling stones covered the city overwhelmingly, and the screams of "ah" and "ah" were endless.

Dozens of ladders were erected on the wall, and the besieging side swarmed up like ants. From time to time, the ladder was overturned, and the people on the ladder fell into a miserable scream.

Yu Huantie led more than 20 gangsters to jump onto the wall and slash and kill. Gradually, hundreds of Tang Sect gang members climbed onto the wall one after another, and quickly engaged the people of Divine Arm City.

Cai Zhenxiong personally led more than 20 wrestlers, under the cover of the shield of the gang, carrying a huge log, rushed to the gate like crazy, and slammed the door with a "knock" and "knock" sound.

After hitting it more than 40 times, there was a "boom", and the door burst open in the mud.

"Crashed away!" Cai Zhenxiong roared, leading the crowd to rush in, "boom" sound, smoke and dust billowed down, a pile of sassal wood fell down, Cai Zhenxiong hurriedly jumped out, several gangsters could not retreat, and were immediately crushed into a blur of flesh and blood.

"Damn! There's another door!" Cai Zhenxiong scolded angrily, "Come on! Move the wood that is in the way! Let's bump again!"

The dozen or so gang members who stepped forward were afraid that there would be a sassal wood smashed down, and looked up at the top of the gate, and saw two swords with colored ribbons and a wine gourd wrapped in white clouds carved on the top, which looked very weird and weird, and they didn't dare to step forward for a while.

Cai Zhenxiong turned around and scolded: "Useless guys! Hurry up!" Those gangsters didn't dare to disobey, and they were bold, and stepped forward with all hands and feet, and moved the sassaga out of the door.

There were dozens of more heavy collisions, and the second gate was knocked open, and everyone poured into the Divine Arm City like a tide.

More than 1,000 gangsters faced more than 200 people in Divine Arm City, and in the blink of an eye, forty or fifty people fell in Divine Arm City.

Bai Yu led more than forty sword masters to shout and shout, and rushed through the crowd like a giant axe.

Fang Zhi led Lu Lingchu, Xuan Yong and dozens of other Chaotianbao gangs to rush left and right, and the enemies around them fell to the ground one after another.

In the fight, Yu Huantie led dozens of good hands to kill Bai Yu, and when the battle was not long, Bai Yu was hit by Yu Huantie's sword in the right rib, and immediately blood was injected.

Fang Zhi hurriedly led the crowd to kill and save Bai Yu.

The purple light phantom sword in Yu Huantie's hand flew up and down, blood splattered, and the blocker was invincible.

Fang Shi was covered in blood, and the white feather with a serious wound on his back swung his sword and slashed wildly. Lu Lingchu, Xuanyong and dozens of other gangsters protected the two of them, and fought and retreated. Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people in front of the two, and in the end, Lu Lingchu and Xuanyong were also killed one after another.

The battle lasted for half an hour, and the shouts and screams slowly stopped, leaving only the groans of pain everywhere.

※※※

It was getting late, and hundreds of torches were lit, illuminating the sky above the Divine Arm City.

"What about the corpses of Fang Zhiju and Bai Yu?" Yu Huantie led the crowd to clean up the battlefield and found no corpses of the two, "Did anyone kill them?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shake their heads.

"Fuck it, where are you hiding, search me!" Yu Huantie shouted.

After a long time, everyone returned one after another, but no trace of the two was found.

Yu Huantie jumped like thunder, slapping violently at the huge snake and turtle stone sculpture beside him.

"Perhaps, they escaped. Cai Zhenxiong approached Yu Huantie and said softly.

"Escaped? did you see it?" Yu Huantie stared at Cai Zhenxiong fiercely, saw him shake his head, and turned to everyone again, "Did you see it?"

The crowd was silent.

"I've heard that there is a secret passage around here that leads to the outside of the city. Cai Zhenxiong said.

"Oh?" Yu Huantie was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Everyone look for it!

Immediately, the crowd was busy with torches and looking around.

Suddenly, one of the gang shouted, "There's a hole here, and there's blood in it!"

Yu Huantie flew up, and after a few ups and downs, he came to the man's side, snatched the torch in his hand, and leaned over to take a closer look.

It was a small cave that could only be walked through by one person, and the ground was mottled with blood and stretched into the cave.

"Brother He, take two brothers and go in with me!" Yu Huantie held the torch in his hand and bent down into the hole.

The four mermaids walked in a row, and after a short time, the torches were extinguished one after another, and the deep hands in the hole were not visible. So they all cautiously groped their way forward, and after about three hundred steps, Yu Huantie suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing in front of him, as if the river wind was blowing into the cave.

After walking a few more steps, his eyes gradually brightened, and Yu Huantie said happily: "If you can really get to the outside!"

The four of them came out of the cave, checked by the moonlight, and found that they were on the bank of the Yangtze River.

Fang Zhiju carried white feathers on his back and ran wildly in the longan forest by the river.

Bai Yu pressed tightly on his right rib, where blood was surging, his teeth chattered, and he said painfully: "Big brother, let me go...... You go...... I can't do it anymore!"

Fang Yiju put Bai Yu down, shook the fire and tore through his robe, took out a bottle of gold sore medicine, removed his hand, and poured it all on his wound. Then he took off his robe, tore off a long piece with a "whoosh", wrapped it around his waist around the wound, and tied the rest of his robe tightly around his waist, and then picked him up and continued to run.

I don't know how far I ran in the black rumbling forest, and Fang was sweating profusely and panting heavily.

Bai Yu said in a daze: "Let me go...... Put me down!"

Fang Guiju gritted his teeth, kept walking, and continued to run.

"Big brother...... You're carrying me behind your back...... We...... All...... Can't escape...... Put me down...... You go!" Bai Yu struggled on his back.

"Don't move, live together, die together!" Fang Zhiju stumbled a few steps and said angrily.

Bai Yu burst into tears, no longer struggling, and lay tightly on Fang Yuju's back.

After running for more than an hour in one breath, Fang Zhiju finally couldn't run, and leaned Bai Yu against the trunk of a lychee tree with difficulty, and lay down on his back on the wet and cold ground, almost out of breath.

"Big brother...... We... Where are you?" asked Bai Yu, scanning the dark lychee forest around him.

"I ...... too I don't know. Fang Zhiju gasped.

"Woo!" Bai Yu suddenly cried, "Big brother...... Divine Arm City...... Lost too!"

"If you lose it, you will lose it! We will call back later!" Fang Zhiju comforted: "Let's go! Let's go to Qingcheng Mountain!"

So, Fang Yiju picked up the white feather on his back and hurried forward, looking back from time to time. Suddenly, he saw a faint fire in the forest half a mile behind him, and Fang Zhi was shocked, knowing that with his current physical strength, he would be caught up if he couldn't run a mile.

At the moment, he was looking for a hiding place, but there was not even a single person around, so he used his hands and feet together, climbed a lychee tree with dense foliage, and whispered to Bai Yu: "It seems that the enemy is chasing, don't be silent!"

Not long after hiding, Yu Huantie led the three of them to rush by. After the four of them ran out of more than ten zhang, Yu Huantie suddenly said loudly: "No! It seems that no fresh footprints have been found!"

The four of them looked around with torches, searching as they slowly walked back.

He Protector stopped under the tree where Fang was hiding, bent down to take a closer look, and suddenly said happily: "Brother Yu, there are fresh footprints here, and there are a few drops of blood next to it!"

Standing up, he saw that Yu Huantie ignored him, but looked up at the tree.

"Fang Kind Gather!Bai Yu!Come down!I can already hear your breathing!" Yu Huantie said coldly.

Fang Yuju slowly slid down with the white feather on his back.

"Give you a chance!" Yu Huantie said coldly: "Just arrest and leave you a whole corpse!"

"Dream!" Bai Yu leaned against the trunk of the tree, barely standing, but unfortunately there was no knife in his hand.

Fang Kind gathered his sword in front of Bai Yu, and said sharply: "Dao Sect scum! Come on! Today, even if you can take our lives, another day, Fang Mou will turn into a powerful ghost, and he will ask for your life!"

Yu Huantie was furious, the purple light phantom sword was unsheathed, and the sword was full of "Hollow Valley Youlan Divine Skill", as soon as he made a move, it was the most proud phantom sword, and a misty sword shadow ghost-like flying cover towards Fang Qun's chest.

Fang Zhiju blocked two hits with the life-saving trick of "Five-Star Gathering", but he could no longer stop one of his three major killing moves, "Cangshan Phantom", and with a "poof", the purple light phantom sword passed through his chest, and Fang Zhiju fell to his knees softly.

Bai Yu's eyes were about to split, and he pounced on him, and He Protector's eyes were quick, and he pierced Bai Yu's heart with a sword.

Yu Huantie gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword suddenly, two purple lights flashed, and blood shot out, and the human heads of Fang Yuju and Bai Yu flew out almost at the same time and fell to the ground.

The river wind roared, and the river whimpered.

Yu Huantie suddenly shivered violently.
