Chapter 240: The Battle of Dengzhou City (2)
Soldiers who have been in the army for many years have always been accustomed to charging on horseback, and most of the moves they use are wide open and close. But if they meet a swordsman like Xu Zilan who is flexible and constantly fighting with them around, then it will be difficult for them to exert their strength.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Zilan killed more than twenty guards of Zhenwu Hou in a row. Zhenwu Hou, who had gone through countless life and death dangers, was not deterred by Xu Zilan's momentum, but even more stimulated the blood in Zhenwu Hou's heart, and Zhenwu Hou drove the sitting golden lion to pounce directly towards Xu Zilan.
After Xu Zilan stabbed one of the guards to death, he dodged to the left to dodge the bite of the Earth Golden Lion, and fell right within the attack range of Zhenwu Hou. Zhenwu Hou, who was riding on the body of the Dijin Lion, raised the long-handled big knife in his hand and slashed towards Xu Zilan.
The strength of Zhenwuhou, who has been Rongma all his life, is not weak, and in addition, Zhenwuhou slashes down to Xu Zilan from a high position, this knife has an advantage. Therefore, Xu Zilan, who raised his sword to resist, was stumbled by Zhenwuhou and fell out directly.
At this moment, suddenly a bright red pillar of light rose into the sky in Dengzhou City, and then this pillar of light spread around, turning into a light red light shield that shrouded the entire Dengzhou City. A young woman holds a dazzling colorful lotus flower in her hand, slowly rising from the city to the apex of the light mask. This woman is the Holy Maiden of the Sacred Heart Sect - Qu Zhaolin!
Seeing this scene, Zhenwu Hou turned back to Xu Zilan and smiled maniacally: "Hahaha, His Royal Highness the Prince, have you seen it? The blood sacrifice has begun! At this moment, it is the time for the Holy Kingdom to return again, you should die!"
Xu Zilan didn't hesitate at all, slashed out a few wind blades towards Zhenwu Hou, turned around and retreated. Zhenwuhou's long knife slashed through Xu Zilan's wind blade with a swing, and the aftermath of the wind blade could only leave shallow traces on Zhenwuhou's golden armor.
Xu Zilan found the three generals who led the army and said, "I'll leave it to you here, I'll take Shenxiao to send disciples to stop the blood sacrifice!"
Then, Xu Zilan shouted loudly: "The disciples of the Shenxiao Sect are all coming with me!"
Zhenwuhou led a team of men and horses to chase Xu Zilan, but was stopped by a general of the Cangqi State, who held a double axe and said to Zhenwuhou: "In the end, I will ask Zhenwuhou to make a move!"
Zhenwuhou said disdainfully: "Nameless junior, you are also worthy?!" With that, he raised his knife and slashed at the general.
"Senior brother, it's all messed up now, how can we rush past the army of Zhenwuhou in front of us and get to Dengzhou City behind?"
Xu Zilan said calmly: "It's impossible for us to force through the army on the opposite side so much. Let us go west, and go around from our own army to the west side of the city. The men and horses brought by Brother You will also come from the west, and we can join them when the time comes. ”
Next, Xu Zilan led the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect to withdraw from the battle at the front, and began to move westward to prepare to spare the army of Zhenwu Hou, and directly go to destroy the blood sacrifice circle of Dengzhou City, on the way, they found many disciples of the Shenxiao Sect scattered in the battlefield, and finally Xu Zilan led more than 8,000 disciples of the Shenxiao Sect to bypass the army of Zhenwu Hou from the west.
However, what Xu Zilan didn't expect was that at this moment, another young man led thousands of Sacred Heart Sect disciples to stop in front of Xu Zilan and everyone again.
The man smiled slyly: "Xu Zilan, the senior disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, has long admired the great name. I finally had a chance to meet today. ”
Xu Zilan looked at the man with a lock of red hair on his head in front of him and said, "Presumably you are the blood boy, right?"
The blood boy smiled: "Haha, it seems that I am also very famous in Zhongzhou now, and I was recognized by you at a glance." ”
Where Xu Zilan is now, he can not only hear the sound of the battle between the two armies, but also clearly hear the heart-rending wails coming from Dengzhou City behind the blood prince. Xu Zilan knew that he must not waste the slightest time at this time, and now there are countless innocent people dying in Dengfeng City in front of him every moment.
Therefore, Xu Zilan no longer talked nonsense with the blood boy, and took his disciples to raise their swords towards the blood boy. Seeing this, the Blood Master took out a four-foot-long knife with a very narrow blade and a slight arc reflecting blood light, and led thousands of Sacred Heart Sect disciples to meet him.
The speed of the blood boy's knife was not slower than Xu Zilan's at all, and the two of them collided dozens of times in a short instant. Xu Zilan turned on the breeze and suddenly slipped to the side of the blood boy in the wind, quickly slashed to the left rib of the blood boy, and all the several wind blades slashed out with the sword hit the blood boy.
Xu Zilan, who thought that he had succeeded in one move, suddenly felt someone behind him instantly stabbing at him with his breeze, and Xu Zilan instinctively turned sideways to resist with a sword.
Xu Zilan flashed to the side with his strength, and then saw that the blood boy who was hit by him before had turned into a pool of blood at this time, and it was the blood boy who stabbed at Xu Zilan from behind. Just when Xu Zilan hadn't figured out what was going on with the exercises used by the blood boy, not far away, Zhenwuhou rushed out of the chaotic battle with a team of men and horses, and came straight to Xu Zilan...
"Elder You, the spies ahead have reported that a large army of our country has already started a battle with the army of Zhenwu Hou on the north side of Dengzhou City. There was also a small group of people and horses on the north side of Dengzhou City a little west of the Sacred Heart Sect who were fighting with the disciples of the Sacred Heart Sect, and it seemed that they should be disciples of the Shenxiao Sect. Tian Zhixiong rode his horse beside me and said.
I asked, "Do you know what the situation is in Dengzhou City now?"
Tian Zhixiong said: "I don't know, but as far as the spies report, there is a light red light mask that envelops the entire Dengzhou City. From a distance, it looks like there is a person floating in the air. ”
The big battle was imminent, I tried my best to control my anxious emotions, and said: "The 300,000 troops led by Xu Zilan and the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect have already fought with each other, but Xu Zilan still hasn't had time to stop the blood sacrifice in Dengzhou City, we must speed up now and rush as soon as possible." ”
Tian Zhixiong responded: "Yes, I will order the whole army to move in a hurry."
Under our full speed attack, Dengzhou City soon appeared in front of all of us. At this time, in the northerner position of our army, the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect led by Xu Zilan were being attacked by two teams of men.
And at the west gate of Dengzhou City, which was directly in front of our army, an army of about twenty or thirty thousand people also appeared at this time. From a distance, these soldiers were tall and ugly-looking, the same Giant Devourers I had found in the mountains.
After only a few months, the number of these Giant Devourers has grown to so much! I pointed to the army in front of me and shouted to Tian Zhixiong: "Tian Zhixiong, these are the Giant Devourers I found before, their strength is extremely strong, can your Black Armor Army deal with it?"
