381: Chapter 380: A Fierce Battle 381: Chapter 380: A Fierce Battle The Feng Lei Divine Wings carried Lin Bai directly towards the city gate, with its speed being extraordinarily fast.
By the time Lin Bai got to the city gate, a large number of soldiers had already gathered, wielding their weapons and charging forward in zealous attack.
“Attack!
Attack!
Attack!”
The battle cry dominated the day.
From a distance, Lin Bai saw about ten thousand soldiers from the Qi Family Army, desperately trying to open the city gate.
Ahead of the Qi Family Army forces, Zhan Ying, dressed in imposing armor, was engaged in a life and death fight with Chu Jiangliu!
“Chu Jiangliu, let me handle this!”
With one leap, the wings of the Feng Lei Divine Wings that Lin Bai had turned into a purple-green duo-colored wings carried him over the kilometer distance, and landed him at the city gate.
With a grunt!
At this moment, Chu Jiangliu was repelled by a palm strike from Zhan Ying, coughing up blood.
The two had fought a multitude of rounds, and ultimately, Chu Jiangliu was defeated.
“What a pity, Chu Jiangliu.
You’ve just inherited your father’s title, you should have been enjoying power and wealth in the Imperial Capital, yet, you insisted on seeking death here on the frontier.” After defeating Chu Jiangliu, Zhan Ying taunted coldly.
“Zhan Ying, Shenwu Kingdom has treated you well, why betray it!” Chu Jiangliu roared in furious anger.
“Treated me well?
Hehe, I grew up in a beggar’s nest, competing with stray dogs for food, do you know what kind of pain that is?
I swore to myself, I would live a life of power and wealth in the future.”
“Now, the Qi Prince has promised me that once our plan succeeds, I will become a marquis of this new kingdom, a founding hero, dominating Under Heaven and looking down upon all.
Reaping the glory and riches that will have no end!” Zhan Ying laughed madly.
“Before that, whoever stands in my way will die!”
Zhan Ying roared outraged.
As he spoke the words, a murderous look took over Zhan Ying’s face.
He wielded his battle saber, slashing wildly at Chu Jiangliu.
Should this blow land, Chu Jiangliu would definitely be cleaved in half.
Whoosh——
Just at this moment, from the distance, a sharp Sword Qi shot over the top of thousands of soldiers’ heads, sweeping through the air and hitting Zhan Ying’s battle saber.
With a crash, his saber was split in two.
The Sword Qi hit Zhan Ying’s body, sending him flying a hundred meters away.
Soon after, a white-robed man appeared alongside the Sword Qi, landing in front of Chu Jiangliu.
Upon seeing this man, Chu Jiangliu was overjoyed, “Prince Consort, Zhan Ying has betrayed us, opened the city gate, and informed Dayue Kingdom.
The armies of Dayue Kingdom are now close to arrival.”
“We must close the city gate immediately.”
Chu Jiangliu hurriedly said.
From afar, Lin Bai saw, looking out from the city gate, within the sand field filled with dust in front of them, the army of Dayue Kingdom was advancing rapidly like a pack of tigers and wolves.
Lin Bai even saw Tuoba Feng whose face was filled with excitement.
He was riding a big horse, galloping at full speed, charging towards them.
Next, Lin Bai saw more than ten thousand soldiers of the Qi Family’s Army obstructing the city gate from closing.
“All soldiers of the Qi Family’s Army, listen up!
Put down your weapons now, surrender and close the city gate, I, Lin Bai, guarantee your lives!
Refuse, and the nine generations of your families will perish!”
Lin Bai roared menacingly while raising his sword.
Seeing Lin Bai’s arrival, Zhan Ying’s face turned pale and he ran wildly towards the Qi Family’s Army at the back.
As he ran, he yelled, “Open the city gate, once the army of Dayue Kingdom enters, all these people will die.
And we will receive unlimited wealth and riches!”
“Open the city gate!
Open the city gate!”
All the soldiers of the Qi Family’s Army were striving to open the city gate.
“Stubborn fools.
Chu Jiangliu, order the archers to attack, Vanguard Battalion follow me into the battle, we will take back control of the city gate.” Lin Bai raised his Qingge Sword, roaring out his orders.
“Yes!”
Immediately, Chu Jiangliu shouted back, “Archers, prepare your Penetrating Cloud Arrows, and fire!”
Thousands of arrows, like raindrops, were launched towards the city gate.
The Penetrating Cloud Arrow was a powerful arrow crafted by the Artifact Refiners within the Territory of the Shenwu Kingdom, capable of easily shattering the armor on a body, its power was immense, with each arrow being the equivalent of a first-grade Spiritual Tool.
“Vanguard Battalion, charge with me!”
After the first wave of the Penetrating Cloud Arrow was launched, Chu Jiangliu roared, drew out his battle sword, and led tens of thousands of Vanguard Battalion soldiers into the charge.
“Hold the line!
Hold the line!
The army of Dayue Kingdom is almost here—an unending wealth and glory will be ours as long as we can hold the line.” Zhan Ying, among the Qi Family’s Army, continued to shout encouragements.
“Charge!”
“Charge!”
“Charge!”
Surrounding sounds were drowned out.
Only the war cries and screams of soldiers could be heard.
Lin Bai and Chu Jiangliu led the charge into the ranks of the Qi Family Army.
“The wind blows and the sea roars!”
Lin Bai leapt into the air, his sword sweeping horizontally.
His Sword Qi was unstoppable, striking with unparalleled sharpness, decapitating over two dozen soldiers from the Qi Family Army!
Zhan Ying, seeing Lin Bai plunge into the formation, turned deathly pale and fled outwards, leaving the confines of Jia Yueguan.
At this moment, under the powerful onslaught of the Shenwu Kingdom’s army, the Qi Family Army was retreating step by step.
Half of the ten thousand men perished in the blink of an eye, while the tens of thousands who survived lost control of the city gate.
The Qi Family Army retreated outside the city.
Lin Bai and Chu Jiangliu took control of the city gate.
“Close the city gate!” Lin Bai shouted to Chu Jiangliu.
Chu Jiangliu roared in response: “Close the city gate!”
Zhan Ying watched this unfold; as the city gate was about to close, he cried out in despair, “No, no, no!
My glory and riches!
Brothers, charge back!
We just need to hold them off for a moment, and the army of Dayue Kingdom will be here.”
“Charge back!”
“Charge back!”
Immediately, the retreated Qi Family Army charged back towards the city gate.
Over five-thousand men, like a dense swarm of locusts, sprinted forward with their sharp spears in hand.
“Brothers, let’s charge out and slaughter this pack of Qi family army bastards!” Chu Jiangliu roared, leading his vanguard battalion soldiers out of the city gate.
The area below the city gate was in chaos, with countless deaths and injuries.
Corpses gradually filled the city gate while blood flowed like a river.
“Prince Consort, Prince Chu has charged out, shall we continue to close the city gate?
The army of the Dayue Kingdom is about to arrive…” a soldier standing next to Lin Bai asked.
Lin Bai peered into the distance, where a massive veil of flying sand was rolling up on the battlefield.
Inside this veil of sand, a fierce army was charging ahead at full speed.
At their current pace, they would reach Jia Yueguan within ten breaths.
“Prince Consort, quick!
Close the city gate!”
As Chu Jiangliu desperately held off the Qi Family Army, seeing that Lin Bai hadn’t closed the city gate, he roared back.
Lin Bai, expressionless, silently looked at Chu Jiangliu and the numerous bodies strewn across the ground.
In Lin Bai’s eyes, a red gleam the size of a grain of rice flickered in and out of existence.
This was the Demonic Seed…
“Prince Consort!” Chu Jiangliu roared desperately.
Snapping back to reality, Lin Bai’s eyes opened and closed, the Demonic Seed in his right eye disappearing.
He then spoke, “Close the city gate.
I will save Prince Chu!”
“Yes!”
Receiving the order, the soldiers promptly closed the city gate and reinforced the magic circle.
But at the last moment as the gate closed, Lin Bai stepped out of the city.
“Brothers, charge back in!
We can’t let them close the city gate!” Zhan Ying roared repeatedly.
At this moment, Lin Bai stepped forward, his eyes coldly fixed on Zhan Ying, his sword slashing down in anger.
A powerful Sword Qi sliced down from the sky, shattering Zhan Ying’s armor and leaving a huge mark on his chest, throwing his body backward!
Sputter–
Zhan Ying coughed up blood non-stop, collapsed on the ground, the light in his eyes gradually fading.
Lin Bai walked over and stepped on Zhan Ying’s chest, coldly stating, “If I knew it would come to this, I should’ve ended your life in Chaoyang Palace.”
