Chapter 250: Surprise Attack on Murong Tribe
Chapter 250: Surprise Attack on Murong Tribe
Last time, we mentioned that Murong Bufan took away Li Yi's spiritual feather arrows, which is equivalent to carrying a GPS on his body. This time, Li Yi will not have to worry about not being able to find the vanguard camp of the Xiongnu royal court. So how will Li Yi act? Let's read on.
After Murong Bufan and his cavalry left, Li Yi and Nangong Xue stood up. Nangong Xue looked at Li Yi and asked, "Are you really okay? I saw you just now..."
Li Yi interrupted, "Jiuying's body is dead, only resentment remains, so his Nine Nether Sealing is only a suppression on the spiritual level, and will not cause substantial damage to the body. Of course, if my spirit is destroyed by it, I will become a walking corpse, a living dead. Fortunately, I have resisted it!"
Nangong Xue punched Li Yi. She had lost all her power now, so Li Yi naturally let her beat and scold her. After all, she had just deceived others in the Nine Nether Sealing. After crying, Li Yi hugged Nangong Xue, patted her back and said softly: "I didn't expect you to be so fond of crying after giving up the Merciless Sword Heart."
Nangong Xue laid on Li Yi's chest and said in a tender voice: "I will remember that you lied to me. I will remember you for the rest of my life!"
"Do you really have to hold a grudge like that? Never mind, it's fine to remember me for the rest of your life. You've always had me in your heart before! Hehehe."
"Xue'er!" A cold male voice came. The person who came was Nangong Xue's master, Tianzong Douling Zhenren, a Taoist master with the strength of the second rank. It was this person who was going to duel with Taoxuan Zhenren.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Xue pushed Li Yi aside and saluted, saying, "Nangong Xue greets Master."
Upon hearing this, Li Yi immediately bowed and said, "It turns out to be Master Xue'er. Di Zong Li Yi greets his uncle!"
"Li Yi, you are so capable. Your Di Zong really did a lot to win this duel."
"Uncle Master, you have wronged me! I knew Xue'er before I became a member of the Earth Sect. Our relationship started then. Now it is just a matter of course."
"Hmph, there's no point in talking any more. Xue'er, let's go!"
"Go? Where to go?"
"Master, please give me some time to talk to him clearly."
"I'll only give you a stick of incense."
"Thank you Master!"
Nangong Xue pulled Li Yi aside and said sternly, "Do you know how much trouble you have caused? My master was very kind by not killing you!"
"Even if I prevent you from competing, how can a second-grade extraordinary person like him attack a junior like me? Isn't he afraid of being laughed at if this gets out?"
"Keep your voice down, my master doesn't have such a good temper!"
"Oh, you have a bad temper. I'm so scared!"
"Shut up! I won't pay attention to you if you keep doing this!"
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble. How can I not be angry if he wants to take you away? Besides, where is he taking you? What are you going to do?"
"Of course I should go back to Tianzong to practice, and find a way to get my cultivation back!"
"How can that be! I finally managed to dissolve your ruthless swordsmanship, why do you need to rebuild it? Besides, even if you rebuild it, you won't be able to catch up with our duel!"
"Master has his own way. Just wait and see how I beat you to a pulp!"
"What a joke! Even if you recover your power and become even stronger, you are still no match for me."
"Shan Yiling, huh? Then just wait and see how I beat your lover to a pulp!"
“Hey, hey, hey, stop messing around. The palms and backs of my hands are all made of flesh. I’d feel bad if either of them got hurt. You two should just fight to a draw. The victory or failure will be left to me and your Senior Brother Jingyuan. He just entered the Transcendent Realm, so I’ll fight you anyway!”
"Just brag! My Senior Brother Jingyuan is very capable! Go back and practice hard, don't let me beat you to your knees and beg for mercy!"
"What a joke! I also punched the demon monk and kicked the Shura King in Nanliang! They were all in the Transcendent Realm! I'm not bragging, your record can be checked!"
"Okay, okay, you are the best, okay. I won't say any more to you. You don't have to worry about me when I return to Tianzong to practice. You don't have to report the news to my family. Just tell my brother."
"Okay, then take care of yourself. I'll check you out when we meet again."
"Well, take care of yourself too." Nangong Xue said and turned to leave.
Li Yi reached out and held her, and asked: "Xue'er, if you rebuild the Merciless Sword, will you..."
"No, don't worry, I won't forget it. I told you that I will remember you lying to me for the rest of my life."
Li Yi let go of her hand and smiled: "That's good. I'm afraid we won't meet again until next year. Let me hug you again."
Nangong Xue suddenly turned around and threw herself into Li Yi's arms, raised her head and kissed him on the mouth. Li Yi was a little overwhelmed by this wave of benefits. After the passionate kiss, Nangong Xue whispered in Li Yi's ear: "Don't miss me too much, but considering that there are so many beauties around you, I guess you don't have time to miss me."
"How could that be possible! Although I can't guarantee that I will think of you all the time, you will definitely always have a place in my heart."
Nangong Xue pushed Li Yi away and said coldly: "Humph, who cares about your place in my heart! I thought you were the best at making women happy, never mind, I'm leaving."
Li Yi watched Nangong Xue and her master, Dou Ling Zhenren, leave, and then spat out a mouthful of blood. He fell to the ground, clutching his chest, and was unable to get up for a long time. He had not recovered yet and had to fight another battle. How could he be unscathed after forcibly breaking through Jiuying's spiritual seal?
Dou Ling Zhenren flew to Zhongnan Mountain with Nangong Xue on his sword. He said to Nangong Xue, "If you don't leave now, Li Yi will not be able to bear it."
"I know."
"This boy has extraordinary talent. Although he borrowed the power of hell and the power of the spirit, he was able to use the Dharma in such a situation. His mental strength is indeed good."
"Then what do you think of Senior Brother Jingyuan's chances of winning against him, Master?"
"For now, you should be on par with me, but this time when I take you back, both of you need to practice Supreme Forgetfulness again, and it must be better than before."
"It's normal for a disciple to start over after losing his power, but why does Senior Brother also have to start over?"
"You two are the same. You have both experienced the tribulation of love. But it's okay this way. Without destruction, there is no construction. Only by being moved can you forget love."
Cut back to Li Yi. He meditated until dawn, and then he regained his ability to move. He stood up and exhaled, trying to fly the sword but failed several times. He shook his head helplessly, carried the sword box on his back and walked south. Li Yi was very unkind and stole two horses, one for himself and one for the sword box, just to familiarize himself with the terrain. Three days later, he finally joined the Black Armor Camp led by Dugu Yu.
Speed is of the essence in war, and there is no time to waste. After determining the marching route and surprise attack strategy, the Black Armor Battalion began to march quickly. They rushed to Wolf Mountain at night and hid in the Nine Infants Valley. After a short rest, they waited for the bloody sun to set in the west. This elite force of 5,000 people would give the Xiongnu king a slap in the face.
As night fell, dark clouds covered the moon. All the members of the Black Armor Battalion held leaves in their mouths, bound their horses' hooves, strung their crossbows, and tied their swords to their hands. They followed Li Yi straight to the location of the Xiongnu Royal Court's vanguard camp, the Murong tribe. In this surprise attack, Dugu Yu finally stopped hiding himself and fully demonstrated his ability to deploy troops and adapt to changes.
When the Black Armored Battalion reached the front camp, they did not act in a hurry. They first found a stable, killed the guards and opened the fence, then set fire to drive the horses to charge the enemy camp. Just as the horses rushed out of the stables and rushed to the camp, all the members of the Black Armored Battalion beat drums and blew trumpets, shouting and killing, but they only shot arrows from the periphery and did not charge. They waited until the Xiongnu horses broke through the camp and trampled the horse barriers before they lined up to charge.
The heavy cavalry equipped with Mohist machinery can only exert its greatest power when charging in formation. The purpose of charging the camp is to create space for the heavy cavalry formation. The effect is also very ideal. The heavy cavalry phalanx defeated the Huns' formation with one round of charge.
Unfortunately, there was not enough time and the heavy cavalry did not have the opportunity to turn their horses around and reorganize their formation for a second charge. The heavy cavalry could only fight on their own.
If the heavy cavalry led the way with iron armor and powerful crossbows, then the middle cavalry equipped with crossbow machines, Mohist locks and armor-piercing hammers were the battlefield harvesters. The iron chains cut through the enemy troops, the armor and shields were broken and the defenses were destroyed, and the crossbows fired volleys to complete the harvest. Finally, the light cavalry checked for gaps, provided rapid support, filled the gaps, and intercepted the enemies that broke out of the encirclement.
After talking about the overall battle situation, let's take a look at the local battle situation. After all, even if they are both fourth-grade warriors, there are still differences in strength. It is worth mentioning that Dugu Long's improved Iron Chain Prison Dragon Formation showed its power. Ten centurions joined forces and successfully captured Murong Xingtai, the leader of the Xiongnu King's Vanguard Camp!
Although this feels a bit like Lian Po is too old to still eat, but when Murong Xingtai was young, he was after all a great grassland hero at the peak of the fourth rank. He just has to admit his age.
Looking around the battlefield, there was no sign of Li Yi. What was our great talent Li doing during this great battle? Zooming out first, and then moving towards the direction of Wolf Mountain, the strongest fighter of the Vanguard Battalion, Murong Bufan, was racing against the Spirit Feather Arrow. It turned out that Li Yi had used the Spirit Feather Arrow to lure Murong Bufan away before the battle. If not, he alone could have caused huge casualties to the Black Armor.
When Murong Bufan found out that the camp was on fire, he realized that he had fallen into a trap. Just as he was about to return to the camp, he heard the sound of flutes, followed by the sound of broken grass flying like rain of needles. After dodging continuously, he asked loudly, "What kind of hero is it to hide in the dark! Do you dare to show up and fight?"
"What a joke! If you ask me to show up, I will show up. Wouldn't that make me lose face? Just beg me. If I beg you, I will agree to your request!"
"Humph! Since you don't dare to show up, then don't stop me!"
"That's even more impossible. If we let you go back, we'll probably lose a lot of men. General Murong, why don't we stay here for a while until we take over your camp, and then we can discuss the follow-up matters?"
"What discussion!" A dark green aura suddenly emanated from Murong Bufan's body. When he released his condensed energy base, all the grass within five meters of him withered and turned from green to yellow.
Li Yi smiled and said, "Amitabha, I heard that you practiced Shamanism the last time you came to Shangjing. I didn't expect you to use it so soon. That's good, it saves me the trouble. Let me see what your Shamanism is all about!"
Li Yi appeared in front of Murong Bufan, who punched directly. Clang clang clang, the sound of metal and stone colliding continued, and the two of them fought hand-to-hand. Although they were evenly matched, Murong Bufan was obviously more anxious, and when he saw that he could not win quickly, he tried to break through. Li Yi naturally could not do as he wished, and condensed Qi into objects to transform into a fighting pen, and the words wind, thunder, water, and fire were connected into a line. He pushed the two words wind and fire with both hands, and the wind became a scroll and the fire became a flame.
But seeing the fire taking advantage of the wind, it showed its power even more. The whirlwind gathered and the red dragon came out! Murong Bufan mobilized the Qi-based leg to sweep in succession. The Qi-based turned into a green snake and collided with the fire dragon, exploding in mid-air! This was his Mingyi Wei Snake Leg.
Li Yi pushed the word "Thunder and Water" again, and the water became waves, the thunder became chains, and the waves rose three feet and rushed straight to the enemy general. Murong Bufan kicked into the air, and then used the martial arts to bounce towards Li Yi in mid-air. The Qi in his body turned into a green snake, just like a green snake bouncing towards its prey!
"I'm on top of him!"
Li Yi used his words to teleport himself to the top of Murong Bufan's head, and slashed down from the air. The latter raised his hands to protect his head but was still knocked into the waves by Li Yi. There was electricity in the water, which instantly paralyzed him. Murong Bufan guessed who his opponent was! There are only two people in the world who can practice the Three Realms. Who else would appear in the Mobei grassland except Li Yi!
Thinking of this, Murong Bufan groaned and said, "Disciple Bufan, I beg the Snake God to bless me and help me defeat the enemy! Disciple is willing to offer a hundred cattle and sheep as a tribute to the God's grace!"
After a while, a black aura emanated from Murong Bufan's body, and it kept circling and shrinking, gradually condensing into a large black dragon. The black dragon stood up, raised its head, opened its mouth and exhaled, and in an instant, the water and thunder disappeared. Li Yi looked at the opposite side with a frown. When he was about to kill the nine-tailed fox in Nanliang, a black dragon took action and saved the fox!
