191: Behead Chu Lushan! Capture Xu Fengnian! (33)

Chapter 190: Slaying Chu Lushan! Capturing Xu Fengnian! (33)

In Chu Lushan's opinion, the Northern Liang Cavalry was the best in the world.

The four thousand new recruits, meant to deal with Li Chang'an, would surely be crushed! They would be like a hot knife through butter!

The Northern Liang Cavalry, like a surging torrent, galloped across the land, rushing south!

On the southern horizon, a black line gradually appeared.

The Modao Soldiers' Formation was strict, the Bai Er Soldiers were dispersed among them, and the powerful crossbows were already drawn!

"Draw your sabers!"

Li Chang'an gave the order!

Two thousand Modao sabers were simultaneously extended forward!

The four thousand soldiers were greatly encouraged, their Bloodline surging, poised for battle!

The Northern Liang Cavalry charged, dust obscuring the sky a hundred zhang away!

An overwhelming rain of arrows instantly poured down upon the Northern Liang Cavalry!

Within the Northern Liang Cavalry, people were constantly hit by arrows, falling from their horses, and instantly trampled into a muddy paste by the rear ranks!

Chu Lushan deflected the crossbow bolts aimed at him, letting out a frantic roar!

"Charge! Get past the arrow range!"

After losing several hundred men, the Northern Liang Cavalry gradually approached the Modao Soldiers!

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The stones on the ground were jumping frantically!

The Northern Liang Cavalry raised their Northern Liang sabers high, their eyes gleaming with the excitement of slaughter!

There were too many glorious battle examples of the Northern Liang Cavalry trampling and crushing infantry!

Chu Lushan believed that even without the cavalry charging into the crowd, Li Chang'an's rabble would scatter!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Northern Liang Cavalry, invincible under heaven!"

Although their Aura was still like a rainbow, the Northern Liang soldiers also noticed a problem!

The armored Modao Soldiers opposite them remained unmoving!

"Pfft!"

The first cavalryman charged into the Modao Formation!

The lines of the Northern Liang Cavalry and the Modao Army began to intertwine!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

The sound of flesh being cleaved echoed across the battlefield!

Chu Lushan felt that this sound was wrong!

This wasn't the sound of a Liang saber cutting down enemies!

The sight before him made him think he was hallucinating!

One after another, cavalrymen charging at full speed, under the gleaming Modao sabers, were directly split in two, man and horse!

The Fourth-Rank Modao Soldiers, one by one, remained unmoving under the cavalry charge!

They licked the fresh blood from their lips, letting out excited and ferocious laughter!

"Kill! Under the Modao, man and horse are shattered!"

"Northern Liang bastards, no matter how many come, they will all die!"

Chu Lushan's round face was almost distorted with shock!

Sounds of saber tips tearing through flesh were heard, and one Northern Liang Cavalryman after another was cut in half!

This kind of morale, this kind of fighting power, Chu Lushan had never seen before!

"Swish! Swish!"

Two Fourth-Rank Modao Soldiers cleaved their long sabers directly at Chu Lushan's horse's head!

Chu Lushan, being a Second-Rank, immediately retreated by stepping on his horse's back!

While in the air, Chu Lushan glanced at the battlefield!

This glance sent chills down his spine!

The hot blood from the charge had turned ice cold!

On the battlefield, there were severed Northern Liang soldiers and warhorses everywhere!

One after another, Modao Soldiers, stained red with blood, were still fighting fiercely!

All the Northern Liang Army, like flowing tofu, crashed into unmoving steel sabers!

Several First-Rank experts were forced back repeatedly by the strange figures in Red Armor!

Furthermore, a middle-aged Modao general could cleave through nearly a hundred warhorses with a single saber strike!

It was Zhi Xuan Saber Qi!

The faster the Northern Liang Cavalry charged, the more thoroughly they died!

In less than a quarter of an hour, three thousand Northern Liang soldiers were completely annihilated!

Chu Lushan's eyes were vacant, and he was covered in cold sweat!

Suddenly, a war boot stepped on his back!

The heavy Chu Lushan instantly plunged into the blood-stained mud!

A voice that gave him nightmares every night echoed in his ears again.

"Chu Fatty, are you ready to be slaughtered?"

...At dawn.

On the city wall of Jin City, Tian Zong released Chu Lushan, but Wang Ying still wanted to attack the city.

Under the incitement of their leader, the fierce bandits were like savage beasts.

The fierce assault on Jinzhou continued all night!

Most of the garrison defending Jin City had suffered casualties.

The east was already turning white, and Xu Fengnian, in the bandit camp, stared coldly at the fiercely battling city wall.

He was waiting, waiting for Luqiuer to bring Li Chang'an before him.

The villain who injured his beloved general, took his second sister, killed his aunt, and provoked Northern Liang!

Xu Fengnian wanted to personally slay him!

However, almost a day had passed, and there was still no news.

Just then, the scouts sent out late at night finally returned.

"Reporting to Your Highness! Something terrible has happened!"

"General Chu's three thousand cavalry were completely annihilated in Yuanping!"

"The rear guard of three thousand infantry were also ambushed en route and all perished!"

Xu Fengnian's pupils dilated, and he let out hoarse roars from his dry throat!

"How is that possible!"

"How could the Northern Liang Cavalry be defeated!"

"Those three thousand men, they were Northern Liang soldiers!"

The sound of hooves, and another scout rode in to report.

"Reporting to Your Highness! A small contingent of reinforcements has entered the city through the South Gate!"

Xu Fengnian said, "Reinforcements? How is that possible!"

"The Yongzhou Army are all at Yanmen Pass, the nearest troops would take a month to arrive!"

The scout continued, "Above the reinforcements' banner, there is a character 'Li'!"

Xu Fengnian slammed his hand on the table, gritting his teeth!

"Li Chang'an!"

"His marching speed is actually so fast, covering a hundred li in one night!"

Just then, a large banner suddenly unfurled on the city wall of Jin City!

Above the banner was precisely the character "Li"!

The cheers from the city, like a mountain tsunami, could be heard clearly even outside the city!

"Welcome Your Highness back to the city!"

"Long live the King of Tang!"

"Hold the city, annihilate the bandits!"

One after another, Modao Soldiers wearing Mingguang armor, their armor still stained with fresh blood, ascended the city tower!

Before long, one after another, spies with their hands bound behind their backs were escorted onto the city wall!

Heads, one by one, protruded from the battlements!

Before these people died, they all shouted towards Xu Fengnian below the city.

"Your Highness, save me!"

"Your Highness, the Du family has already defected to Northern Liang, save me!"

"Xu Fengnian, you said it would be seamless!"

At this moment, Li Chang'an's figure appeared on the city wall.

Subsequently, a Brocade-Clad Guard loudly began to read out the crimes of these people.

These people were all Northern Liang's hidden agents, and the Brocade-Clad Guards had long since known them clearly.

Then, a dozen Modao Soldiers ascended the battlements, beheading one person with each saber strike!

Such executions continued for five rounds, killing nearly a hundred people!

Blood flowed freely! Heads rolled!

With each round of killing, the city's populace cheered!

Xu Fengnian watched all this, gritting his teeth, trembling all over!

"Li Chang'an... you are too arrogant!"

"One day, I will have your Jin City covered with Northern Liang sabers!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than countless gleaming long sabers were suddenly thrown from the city battlements!

They were actually Northern Liang sabers strung together with ropes!

These Northern Liang sabers clanged in the wind!

"This King annihilated a group of fierce bandits and captured over three thousand Northern Liang sabers!"

"Hereby displayed to the public!"

Xu Fengnian's eyes were bloodshot, his eyes red!

Li Chang'an, killing people and punishing their hearts!

At this moment, Li Chang'an was comfortably seated on the city tower.

The former Second Princess of Northern Liang, Xu Weibear, and her guard Qing Niao stood on either side of him.

The gentle and charming Hong Shu was massaging Li Chang'an's shoulders.

Xu Weibear had a gentle and submissive appearance, and Xu Fengnian was burning with rage!

His second sister had never given him a good look, from childhood to adulthood!

Several Brocade-Clad Guards escorted a mountain of flesh, who appeared on the city wall!

"Condemned prisoner Chu Lushan! Colluding with bandits, slaughtering the innocent, attacking government troops, his crimes are unforgivable, immediate execution!"

Chu Lushan looked at Xu Fengnian from afar, his eyes filled with despair.

"Li Chang'an is unfathomable, Your Highness, take care!"

The sharp Modao cleaved down, and the huge head rolled down to the foot of the city wall!

In Jin City, there was still a scene of jubilation!

Xu Fengnian clenched his fists, tears in his eyes, "Luqiuer..."

Xu Fengnian, fresh out of the gate, suffered a crushing defeat!

Fan Zhenhai bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, let's retreat."

Yang Chunting sighed softly and said, "Your Highness, victory and defeat are common in warfare."

"Don't forget that behind you, there is still the King and three hundred and fifty thousand Northern Liang iron cavalry!"

Wang Ying also said, "Your Highness, the Daliang Mountain brothers have suffered more than half casualties."

"Now the morale is gone too, let's retreat."

As things stood, how could Xu Fengnian not know that the tide had turned?

"Let's retreat, back to Daliang Mountain first."

He looked at the chaotic bandit camp, and a sense of desolation suddenly filled his heart.

However, just then, a drumbeat suddenly sounded from the city gate!

Xu Fengnian looked up and saw Xu Weibear desperately beating the drum!

Immediately after, dust rose from the Northwest and southwest directions!

Li Chang'an had entered the city with two hundred men on an urgent march, and his main force had only just arrived!

"Kill!"

"Capture Xu Fengnian alive!"

The already dispirited bandit army instantly fell into disarray!

"The government troops are here!"

"Run!"

As the chaos erupted, five Talisman General Red Armor directly leaped from the city wall into the bandit rabble!

Each time these Red Armor made a move, there were dozens of casualties!

Xu Fengnian's face was pale, his legs trembling uncontrollably!

Could it be that he was to die here today!

The vast bandit army had completely turned into routed and disorganized soldiers.

The Modao Soldiers were heavily armored infantry, and no matter how strong and robust the bandits were, it was one saber strike, one kill!

The Bai Er Soldiers were even faster, their movements like lightning, killing people faster than the Modao Soldiers!

Fan Zhenhai and Yang Chunting, one on the left and one on the right, pulled Xu Fengnian and flew away into the air.

What they didn't notice was that the stableman, Old Huang, staggered on the battlefield and slowly slipped away.

These three Zhi Xuan experts had only one order.

No matter what, ensure Xu Fengnian's safety!

Just as they were about to fly out of the battlefield, they suddenly heard a shout from the air!

"General Fan of Northern Liang, stay your steps!"

"Gu Dazu, under the King of Tang, requests instruction!"

No sooner had he spoken than a heaven-piercing Saber Qi descended from the sky!

"Boom!"

Fan Zhenhai frowned, knowing that the opponent's Cultivation was not weak.

"Brother Yang, take Your Highness and retreat quickly!"

After speaking, he drew his nine-ring broadsword and began to clash with Gu Dazu in mid-air!

Gu Dazu cleaved out with an ordinary Modao saber, and in an instant, True Qi surged, and the wind and clouds changed color!

Fan Zhenhai exclaimed, "Celestial Phenomenon Realm! You have recovered to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm!"

Gu Dazu said, "This old man's nation was destroyed, his family ruined, all his hopes shattered!

Originally, his state of mind was incomplete, but it has recently been successfully mended!"

On the other side, Yang Chunting had already pulled Xu Fengnian and fled several hundred zhang!

Xu Fengnian's heart pounded, filled with terror!

This was also his first time seeing experts fight so close up!

If he were to be hit by any of those Saber Qi or True Qi, he would instantly be shattered to pieces!

"Roar!"

Suddenly, another Dragon roar sounded from the front!

Xu Fengnian saw several True Qi Golden Dragons rushing towards him!

"Who is it again!"

Xu Fengnian, who thought he had escaped disaster, was on the verge of collapse!

Seeing someone blocking the way, Yang Chunting released more than a dozen highly poisonous hidden weapons!

"Clang, clang, clang..."

All the hidden weapons struck against a golden bell phantom!

The hidden weapons of the Zhi Xuan Early Stage clanged and fell to the ground, completely unable to penetrate the bell phantom!

Yang Chunting, renowned for breaking through all Vajra Realm, could not break the Prajna Heart Bell!

"Li Chang'an!"

"You are not a Buddhist, yet you can Cultivate Buddhist Divine Ability to such an extent!"

Li Chang'an did not reply to Yang Chunting, but instead glanced at Xu Fengnian.

At this moment, the Great Prince Xu's face was ashen, and his body trembled uncontrollably!

"Li... Li Chang'an!"

Li Chang'an seriously corrected him, "According to the rules, this King is your uncle!"

The bell phantom around him gradually dimmed, replaced by a vast Dragon-Elephant True Qi!

One True Qi Golden Dragon after another roared, charging towards Yang Chunting!

He could only push Xu Fengnian back, using Zhi Xuan True Qi to spar with Li Chang'an!

After a few moves, Yang Chunting was filled with shock!

This domineering palm technique could actually contend with him equally!

Li Chang'an struck with both hands, unleashing his strongest palm strike!

With this palm strike, all the True Qi Golden Dragons instantly condensed into one!

A giant golden Dragon, several zhang long, roared and crushed towards Yang Chunting!

This palm strike was incredibly fierce, breaking through Yang Chunting's layers of defense!

"Boom!"

This Great Poison Master of the Zhi Xuan Realm was actually killed by Li Chang'an's single palm strike!

This palm strike was the strongest move of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, "Arrogant Dragon Repents"!

Xu Fengnian, running wildly, was terrified!

The earth-shattering "Arrogant Dragon Repents" could be felt dozens of zhang away!

Seeing the Golden Dragon True Qi dissipate, he had just started to breathe a sigh of relief!

However, at this moment, the pressure suddenly intensified!

"Roar!"

The True Qi that had just dissipated from Yang Chunting's body instantly re-formed into a Dragon!

The Golden Dragon roared, flying towards the direction Xu Fengnian was fleeing!

The brilliance of "Arrogant Dragon Repents" lay in its ability to retain power at the end of the move, unafraid of the enemy's dying counterattack!

The True Qi of "Arrogant Dragon Repents" re-gathered at the end, attacking Xu Fengnian!

Xu Fengnian's life hung by a thread, scared out of his wits!

He watched as the roaring Golden Dragon was about to smash through Xu Fengnian's back!

"Royal Uncle!"

"King Li Uncle!"

"Royal Uncle, spare my life!"

At the moment of life and death, Xu Fengnian begged for mercy, disregarding his dignity.

This also conformed to his profligate style, begging for mercy when he couldn't win.

Just then, an aged voice suddenly sounded.

"Sword Seven!"

"Seven swords pick all the stars in the sky."

A cold sword light flashed in the air, colliding with the residual power of "Arrogant Dragon Repents"!

"Boom!"

"The King of Tang is young and promising, this old man barely managed to block this move with Sword Seven!"

"Given time, he will surely achieve great things!"

The stableman Old Huang, missing a front tooth, roared twice.

Disregarding his fallen precious sword, he pulled Xu Fengnian up and instantly flew into the air!

"Young Master!"

"Next time something happens, remember to call Old Huang to save me!"

Xu Fengnian stammered, "Old... Old Huang! Huang!"

"Your martial arts are actually so high!"

No sooner had the two flown up than another Saber Glow cleaved down from the air!

Gu Dazu's authoritative voice reached their backs in an instant!

"Sword Nine Huang! Leave Xu Fengnian!"

Xu Fengnian, who had just recovered from his shock, became tense again!

He had just heard that the man with the saber was in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm!

Fan Zhenhai was probably killed too!

Xu Xiao's two Zhi Xuan guards were both finished!

In his panic, Xu Fengnian suddenly noticed a benevolent-faced eunuch standing not far ahead.

From his calm and composed expression, it could also be judged that this person was no weaker than Huang Zhentu.

Cao Zhengchun struck out with a palm, the power of his boy Cultivation was unparalleled!

"Sword Nine Huang, leave Xu Fengnian, and I will let you go back to report!"

Sword Nine Huang dodged Gu Dazu's saber, then was sent flying by Cao Zhengchun's palm.

He looked back and saw that Xu Fengnian had already been held by the shoulder by Cao Zhengchun!

Damn it, His Highness was captured alive!
