On top of the iron chains, there were thick steel plates about a hundred feet long laid on top of them. On the two sides of the giant bridge, there were two giant white tiger statues suppressing. They looked really vicious, covered in a layer of white light, causing the surrounding yin energy and those ghosts and evil beings to be unable to get close.
The entire giant iron chain bridge was one, giving off an ancient and majestic aura. Who knows how long it had existed for and who built it.
The most important thing here wasn't the bridge itself. Instead, it was the four white tiger statues, suppressing evil beings. If they got close, they would be wiped out.
In the future, Zong Shou had also heard of this place. At that time, there was no one here, only a patch of ruins. Only this bridge remained, the white tigers were still there.
It was said that an ancient saint built it, its goal wasn't to connect with things but to cut off the yin veins here. It was a treasure itself, which was why even ascended experts would find it hard to damage it.
As for the Zhenshan Pass in the distance, as it was too far away, apart from the hundreds of feet of city walls, one couldn't see it clearly.
Zong Gang frowned, following closely behind. Zong Shou looked at the pass, keeping silent. In the end, he couldn't take it anymore, opening his mouth once more, "Zhenshan Pass is 450 feet tall, and it is said that it only needs three thousand people to defend to block a hundred thousand troops. The terrain here is really dangerous, and it is the only exit on the east side of Gantian Mountain. There are fifteen thousand troops here, and since the ruler died, Zong Shiyuan added in ten thousand more. The pass guard You Wusheng is not only skilled in the art of war, but he is also a seven meridian Xuanwu. It is said that his strength is not below that of Yang Xuan. He is an expert that Zong Shiyuan spent a lot of effort to recruit. Twenty five thousand people, it isn't hard to break through. However, with this pass and dangerous path, as well as the spiritual formation within, no matter how skilled they are, they won't be able to use it here. It is best if we go around it. I know that 470 miles out, there is a place where there are very few evil beings. We should be able to safely cross this Evil Spirit Ravine if we are faster. "
As his voice faded, Hu Zhongyuan, who was beside him, nodded his head in agreement. Then, he snorted coldly, "It's a pity that my five hundred Iron Tiger Great Halberd Warriors couldn't keep up. Otherwise, we might have been able to take down Zhenshan Pass. Young master, I know that place. Although it is a little far, we just need 24 hours to reach Gantian Mountain City. "
Zong Shou still didn't reply. After a long while did he turn around and ask, "Then based on what you think, can Uncle Hu and Qiu last for another day in Gantian Mountain City?"
Zong Gang and Hu Zhongyuan instantly held their breaths. When they received the news, it was already two days ago.
Who knows what would happen within Gantian Mountain City? What kind of unforeseen event would happen?
It wasn't that he didn't know that time was precious at this moment, and every second counted.
If there was a chance to fly to Gantian Mountain, then the two of them wouldn't be willing to spend even a moment outside. They wished that they could grow wings and directly fly over.
However, the problem was that be it the black fox iron cavalry or the mysterious armor wind dragon cavalry, they were all cavalry. If they dismounted and fought, their strength would at least be reduced by 30%.
Moreover, if they couldn't take it down and dragged on for too long, it would be better for them to take a detour.
Only Zong Yuan silently took out the purple lightning spear. He also placed down that vengeful looking mask to cover his handsome face. He had followed Zong Shou for several months. He already understood the personality of this prince.
He seemed gentle, but he would rather break than bend. Things that were impossible in the eyes of others were totally different in his eyes. Once he made up his mind, no matter how others tried to persuade him, he wouldn't change his mind.
As expected, in the next instance, Zong Shou pulled out his sword and held the lightning winged sword in his hand.
"There's no point in talking so much. Let's try. The fog is really thick and it's the best time to pass! The cable bridge is too narrow and too many people are useless. Just the few of us are enough. The others can follow after a few minutes … "
After saying that, he urged the Type 4 Windrider War Colt under him, stepping into the thick fog and galloping towards the gigantic iron chain bridge.
Zong Yuan immediately followed closely behind. Hu Zhongyuan and Tan Tao exchanged glances with one another before helplessly following behind.
Zong Gang felt bitter. The few people here were all experts who could sweep an area. However, to say that they could take down this Zhenshan Pass, he would be the first to not believe it.
Within Zhenshan Pass, there wasn't just one You Wusheng. Just Xuanwu ancestors alone, there were 2. As for martial ancestor realm experts, there were 10 above. They were all people Zong Shiyuan trusted and were willing to fight to the death for him.
However, in his heart, he only hesitated for a short while before he tossed aside all other thoughts and followed at full speed.
His chest was filled with pride. He was someone who liked to be direct and wasn't good at thinking. He was used to being ordered around by Zong Weiran and didn't like to use his brain. Just now, it was because the matter was huge and he had to consider the safety of Zong Shou as well as the casualties of the black fox iron cavalry. This was why he chose the more appropriate way to go around.
Based on his personality, he would have directly charged up the city without caring about anything. That would have been satisfying.
Using 6 cavalry to charge up although it was a little pointless, so what if he went crazy with the prince for once?
The moment such a thought rose up, Zong Gang injected threads of true qi into the body of the dragon horned winged horse. He sped up once more, instantly surpassing Zong Shou and leading the others as he stepped onto the iron chain bridge. His majestic body stood straight, blocking Zong Shou. He also activated spells and mist spread around him, covering the few cavalry around within. It completely covered up all sounds.
However, just as he galloped ten thousand feet on the iron chain bridge. In the distance, a loud laugh could be heard from the impregnable pass.
"Is the person who came Zong Gang? Today, your mist illusionary technique isn't that good. To hide like this, you most probably have bad intentions. You are asking to die, so don't blame me. "
When Zong Gang heard that, he gritted his teeth and scolded out, "You Wusheng, I will remember your words. I won't bicker with you today. Zong Shou prince is here, why aren't you opening the pass? Do you want to die?
When Tan Tao heard that, his brows furrowed. It wasn't wrong to say that Zong Shou's men were all idiots. If he didn't mention the prince, there was a chance he could fool the pass. Now that he mentioned it, wouldn't the people on the pass be more wary? It would also make Zong Shou more dangerous.
You Wusheng in the distance laughed maniacally, "As expected, you are here to escort the prince back to the mountain! Haha, before this I was telling people that with your personality, you might be dumb enough to forcefully charge into Zhenshan Pass. Who knew that you would really come. You are famous for being an idiot who doesn't think before doing things. I, You Wusheng, really respect you! "
Rage surged in Zong Gang's chest, the hair on his head all stood up. Then, he suppressed his rage, "Zong Shou prince is the direct descendant of the ruler, the true ruler of Gantian Mountain! You dare to be rude? "
"Pui! Just a piece of trash who can't cultivate. A kid who doesn't even have the strength to fight a chicken, what right does he have to be my ruler? "
Below the city wall, You Wusheng laughed coldly, viciously spitting out a mouthful of saliva. At this moment, Zong Gang had already galloped to the center of the iron chain bridge, 40 thousand feet away from the city gate. Although it was covered in a thick fog, the 2 of them could see one another from afar.
Looking in front of them, there were only a few people. You Wusheng was first slightly surprised, following which his eyes focused on Zong Shou. After identifying him, he was instantly surprised. Then, he hesitated slightly before showing a fierce and vicious expression.
"All bows and crossbows, the target is that kid behind Zong Gang. Shoot at him! Hei, a piece of trash without any true qi actually dares to come back to fight for the monster king. Aim well, shoot this prince to death. I, You Wusheng, will personally go in front of the new monster king to ask for rewards! What are you afraid of? Young master Zong Shi rewards and punishes clearly, he is smart and decisive. He won't treat you badly! Why aren't you attacking! "
On the city wall, there were only 2 thousand soldiers on duty and a thousand archers. The other soldiers were still in the barracks below the city wall and had just been woken up.
Although those archers all pulled out their bows and arrows, the 150 giant crossbows on the city wall were all controlled and aimed at the bridge. However, they were all hesitant. No matter how You Wusheng tried to persuade them, they didn't dare to be the first to fire.
You Wusheng's brows furrowed slightly. Seeing that Zong Gang and his men were ten thousand feet below the city wall, in just tens of breaths they would rush over. In the end, he lost all his patience. He turned around and waved his knife. A knife glow flashed, directly charging hundreds of feet. Close to a hundred heads were sliced off with one knife. Blood spurted, the sky was dyed in an eye-piercing red.
You Wusheng held his knife, his expression dark and cold as he patrolled on the city wall. His voice seemed to have spat out from the depths of hell, extremely dark and cold, "You all want to do this the hard way! Today, I will personally end the lives of those who don't dare to fight to the death! Shoot! "
Those thousand archers didn't dare to hesitate anymore. The bowstring's' peng peng peng 'sounds instantly rang out. Arrows shot out like rain towards the iron chain bridge.
Amongst which, there were tens of people who were slightly slower. Without needing You Wusheng to attack, his personal troops held knives and axes and chopped them down. Instantly, another 50 corpses fell on the city wall.
It caused the thousands of soldiers and archers to feel a chill in their hearts.
When the thousands of sharp arrows pierced out of the city wall, the spiritual formation within the city automatically activated. Threads of wind buffed the arrows. It caused the speed of the arrows to instantly increase. Along with the 150 crossbow arrows, in an instance they were ten thousand feet out and all fell down.
The few people below also sped up, directly dodging a large portion of the arrows.
For the remaining part, Shi Dan first used her spell to summon a gust of wind out of thin air to blow away most of the arrows. Next, Li Luo rose into the air. His two knives danced, slashing out a hundred knives in an instance. The sharp saber Qi sliced apart the remaining arrows. However, there were still a few that escaped. Li Luo himself was hit by 3 arrows, his face turning purple. Hu Zhongyuan and Tan Tao both let out muffled groans. Both of them were unlucky and were hit. Luckily, their armor was firm and their injuries weren't heavy. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
