116: Chapter 116: Was it a human or a god who arrived?

The military never speaks lightly of life and death.

Since the news of Lei Mengsha's death in battle came from the military, it could be almost certain that he was dead.

He did not believe the other side would deliberately spread false news.

Moreover, Xiao Ruofeng, a sworn brother of Lei Mengsha, had gone on the expedition together.

Then this news could not possibly be fake.

But that person from the Martial Arts Hall was not one to shoot without a target.

Since he had set off, he must be certain.

This was the part that puzzled Sikong Changfeng.

People have been dead for so long, how to save them?

In the eyes of Baili Dongjun, however, there was a glimmer of hope.

He hoped that this Martial Arts Hall Master could truly create a miracle.

At this moment, the southern border fortress of Northern Li.

Wearing armor and with white silk wrapped around his arm, Xiao Ruofeng looked coldly at the battlefield below the fortress.

Suddenly, he drew the famous sword Haoque and leaped down from the fortress.

The experts behind him followed closely.

The fortress gate swung open with a boom.

Squads of soldiers rushed out of the gate like tigers descending from the mountain.

Everyone's face was full of anger, and white silk was wrapped around their arms.

The death of the Pillar State General had ignited the anger of the entire army.

It was as if they wanted to completely incinerate the Southern Solitude army in the distance.

"Today, I will lead the charge myself!"

Xiao Ruofeng thought to himself.

The battle from five days ago surfaced in his mind.

Lei Mengsha, as the Pillar State General, had charged at the front with his bare hands.

He kept throwing Red Thunder, and the powerful explosive force tore a gap in the Southern Solitude military formation.

The Northern Li army took advantage of the situation to advance, and the situation gradually cleared up.

The battle lasted for half an hour.

The general and the prince took the lead, and morale was high.

Victory seemed to be in sight.

The archers of Southern Solitude suddenly moved out.

As an elite branch of Southern Solitude, every archer had Cultivated Internal Energy.

The bowstring rang, arrows flew like meteors, and the arrows infused with Internal Energy were terrifyingly powerful.

Lei Mengsha, fighting with bare hands, could block ten arrows, but could he block a hundred?

This battle was a crushing defeat for Northern Li, and they retreated to the fortress in embarrassment.

Thousands of lives were lost, and even the Pillar State General Lei Mengsha could not be spared.

"Kill!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruofeng roared, charging the formation himself, trying to tear through the Southern Solitude army's defense line.

But the result was the same.

No!

It was even faster than the last time.

The remnants, filled with rage, had all disregarded life and death.

Even if they were seriously injured, they would stab their weapons into the enemy's heart.

The sounds of slaughter shook the heavens and the earth!

The scene was extremely tragic!

The commander of the Southern Solitude army was the Southern Solitude Prince Ao Qing.

At this moment, his expression was cold and his eyes were heavy.

"Your Highness, let the archers go up, the casualties are too heavy!" A strong man wearing leather armor looked at the situation outside the battlefield, his tone full of worry.

"Very well, last time we killed the Pillar State General of Northern Li, this time we will use the Prince of Langya to sacrifice the flag."

Ao Qing said coldly.

This troop was an elite he had personally trained for many years, spending countless efforts, all for the sake of expanding territory today.

Right now, Northern Li was fighting the foreign demonic cult, which was a great opportunity for Southern Solitude to move north in a big way, how could they miss it? As long as they took this fortress, Northern Li would be wide open.

He wanted to take at least half of the Northern Li landscape!

Thinking of this, killing intent surged in Ao Qing's eyes, and his right hand was raised high.

The sound of bowstrings vibrating suddenly rang out.

As his arm swung down sharply, dense arrows mixed with Internal Energy broke through the air, pouring down like dark clouds pressing down.

One wave had not yet fallen, another rose.

Xiao Ruofeng swung the Haoque sword, slashing out sharp Sword Qi, splitting several enemy soldiers in two.

"Raise shields!"

He let out a sharp shout.

The Northern Li soldiers quickly raised their shields to form a shield formation.

But he knew very well.

This only delayed casualties.

They couldn't block the sky full of arrows at all.

But as long as they could withstand this wave and charge into the enemy formation, the Southern Solitude army was far from the opponent of Northern Li in close combat.

In this battle, he had planned thoroughly, but he didn't expect Southern Solitude to have the determination to destroy the country.

What they wanted was not a few cities, but the national destiny of Northern Li.

The density of the arrow rain far exceeded his expectations.

As waves of arrow rain fell, soldiers outside the shield formation fell one after another.

Xiao Ruofeng's eyes were bloodshot, almost bleeding.

"Your Highness, let's retreat for now! If the losses are too heavy and the fortress is lost, Northern Li will fall into a place where there is no hope of recovery!" A general advised urgently.

Xiao Ruofeng stared dead at the distant arrow formation, gritting his teeth, preparing to order a retreat.

Just at this moment—

The scorching sun in the sky seemed to be obscured by something, and the world suddenly darkened.

A huge shadow was cast on the battlefield.

A giant bird that blotted out the sky quietly appeared in the high altitude, and with a spread of its wings, a strong wind swept across the world.

The arrow rain that was originally whistling down was overturned by the strong wind, and it actually flew back in its entirety, shooting into the Southern Solitude military formation, causing tragic casualties.

"Solar Fist!"

A voice seemed to resound from the depths of the Soul.

The giant bird dissipated instantly.

Replacing it was a golden light more dazzling than the sunlight.

Immediately after, a golden pillar of light fell from the light with a boom.

Boom!

The pillar of light smashed into the Southern Solitude army formation, erupting with a thunderous roar.

One after another, pillars of light fell one after another, like divine punishment descending.

Xiao Ruofeng was stunned.

What is this?

Is it a miracle? Or is it a demon playing tricks?

But he understood —

This blow was helping Northern Li!

"Kill!"

He roared.

The Northern Li army's morale was greatly boosted, and they counterattacked all the way.

The light dissipated, and three figures appeared in the sky.

Li Hanyi's expression was solemn, and after receiving a nod from Su Rui, she jumped down from the Cheng Ying Sword.

The hanguang sword gave off a faint blue cold light, and the Sword Intent rose.

Countless sword shadows appeared above the enemy army.

"Ten Thousand Swords Art!"

A clear shout rang out.

Li Hanyi's figure flew by, and the Sword Qi poured down like rain, piercing through the enemy formation, blood flowing like a river.

Southern Solitude Prince Ao Qing was stunned on the spot.

How could the situation be completely reversed in such a short time?

That giant bird, that strong light... what exactly were they?

Are they human, or are they gods?

Just as he was stunned, a roar came to his ears:

"Take your life!"

The Haoque sword had already stabbed like thunder.

He instinctively drew his sword to block.

The sound of metal clashing exploded.

The two retreated one step each.

"Xiao Ruofeng, you have the upper hand this time, but don't forget, there is Heaven Beyond Heaven waiting for you!"

Ao Qing knew in his heart that the overall situation was decided.

His trump card — the archer unit was almost wiped out.

There was also an unknown force secretly helping Northern Li.

This battle could no longer be fought.

"Shattering Star!"

A cold shout rang out.

Ao Qing, who was preparing to turn and leave, froze.

His armor-covered neck suddenly burst.

A blood line appeared on his neck.

He stood stunned on the spot, struggling to look back, only to see a figure standing quietly behind him.

A young girl in white, her eyes as sharp as a knife.

"Hanyi?"

Xiao Ruofeng was stunned.

As an old acquaintance of Lei Mengsha, he naturally recognized Li Hanyi.

"Uncle Xiao, where is my father?"

Li Hanyi suddenly asked.

Xiao Ruofeng's face changed slightly, his expression dim.

"Mengsha... he is gone."

He did not dare to look directly into Li Hanyi's eyes, his heart full of guilt, and he did not know how to face Li Xinyue.

"Where is my father's remains?"

She asked again.

"In the fortress."

Before the words were finished, Li Hanyi had already leaped towards the fortress.

"You guys lead the team to pursue the remnants of Southern Solitude, don't let a single one go!"

Xiao Ruofeng looked at her back, ordered in a deep voice, and then moved his body, chasing after her.

Some things, in the end, have to be faced.

"Let's go and see too."

Su Rui said softly, the Cheng Ying Sword turned, and flew towards the fortress.

The city guards witnessed the four figures sweeping over the city wall and looked at each other.

They saw the battle outside very clearly just now.

That giant roc bird that appeared suddenly, and that strong light like a second sun, made them terrified.

"Strengthen the guard!"

The defending general only left one order and hurriedly rushed to the center of the fortress with a team of people.

The mourning hall was set up deep in the fortress, with black curtains and white silk hanging down.

Li Hanyi landed in front of the mourning hall, her steps heavy.

She looked at the coffin in the hall, her expression dazed.

Su Rui and Mu Liangyue walked in slowly.

Xiao Ruofeng arrived later, looking at the three people in the mourning hall, speechless for a moment.

Walking to the coffin, Li Hanyi finally saw the person inside clearly.

The arrows on his body had long been pulled out, but dozens of arrow holes remained on the armor.

Her body swayed, almost unable to stand, fortunately Su Rui supported her in time.

"Father..."

Her face was pale, her voice trembling.

"Don't worry, the teacher is here."

Looking at the emotionally collapsed Li Hanyi, Su Rui sighed softly.

"Please teacher, save my father!"

Hearing this, Li Hanyi was shocked, as if she had grabbed a glimmer of hope.

She, who had always been calm and decisive, finally showed a soft side in the face of her father's death.

Xiao Ruofeng listened to the conversation between the two, his expression gradually suspicious.

Then, he saw Su Rui walking towards the coffin, reaching out, and immediately stopped him.

"Stop! What do you want to do?"

His eyes were full of anger.

His old friend had already passed away, and this person still wanted to move his remains?

Even if the strength this person displayed outside the battlefield just now shocked him, and he was an unfathomable powerhouse, he would never allow anyone to move Lei Mengsha's remains!

Su Rui turned his head and swept a faint glance at him.

Xiao Ruofeng, who was about to rush forward, froze instantly, unable to even move his fingers.

Shock flashed in his eyes.

He couldn't even block a single glance?

Su Rui ignored him and turned to check Lei Mengsha's condition.

Fortunately.

He wasn't burned to ashes, there was still a glimmer of hope.

He sighed softly and took out a small jade box from his arms.

Mu Liangyue looked at her teacher curiously.

The person in the coffin clearly had no signs of life.

If it weren't for the Heart Protecting Jade, he would have rotted and stunk long ago.

Could the teacher really revive him?

If he still had a breath, she might believe it.

After all, before, AZhu was pierced through the heart by a sword and was about to stop breathing, but the teacher took out a Medicinal Pill, and she recovered instantly.

But now, this was a truly dead person.

Su Rui pulled Li Hanyi to his side and put the jade box into her hand.

"Feed it to him."

Li Hanyi stared blankly at the jade box.

Out of trust in her teacher, she opened it slowly.

A multicolored jade-like Medicinal Pill emitted a soft light.

As soon as the jade box opened, a refreshing fragrance instantly permeated the entire mourning hall.

In Xiao Ruofeng's eyes, an unbelievable look appeared again.

Although his body was still stiff and unable to move, he still had sensation.

In the previous battle, he was seriously injured, and the injuries were not light.

But the moment he smelled the faint fragrance, the injuries in his body actually recovered rapidly like snow melting?

What kind of miraculous Medicinal Pill is this?

He simply couldn't believe his own perception.
