Tao Duan led the men of the Black Mountain Stronghold to look at the black mass of people outside. It was a sea of people, filling up the mountain path. The torches were as bright as the stars in the sky.
"Where's the second leader?" Tao Duan looked at everyone who was fighting with all their might. He was puzzled. Why hadn't Yang Fuzhao and his men arrived yet? A bad premonition slowly crept into Tao Duan's heart.
"Defend our homeland. Kill everyone!" Tao Duan took out a bow, nocked it, and shot arrows at the densely packed crowd below. Huge rocks, logs, and hot oil were continuously poured. For a moment, they were actually able to resist the attacks of the soldiers.
Zhao Bao looked at the people in front of the army dying one by one, yet the battle situation did not change in the slightest. He could not help but feel some heartache.
"Kill! Kill!" "Ah!" Just as Tao Duan and the rest were bravely resisting, miserable screams came from behind. Tao Duan turned back and saw Yang Fuzhao leading a hundred people. They were all wearing armor and holding excellent weapons. They were mercilessly shooting at his men.
"Yang Fuzhao, you traitor!" Tao Duan shouted loudly. His guess was indeed confirmed. In fact, from the beginning, he was not at ease with Yang Fuzhao. However, he did not expect Yang Fuzhao to rebel so early. Moreover, he had such good equipment.
"This is not a rebellion. I'm just leading everyone to a better path." Yang Fuzhao used his spear to stab a few people beside him to death. He needed power and strength, and the Black Mountain Stronghold was his first step.
"You think you can take down the Black Mountain Stronghold with just you and the army?" Tao Duan said disdainfully. Yang Fuzhao's people were not enough to cause much of an impact. Even if he sent some people to deal with Yang Fuzhao, the remaining people would rely on the terrain to deal with the people outside. It was already enough. As long as he could defeat Yang Fuzhao quickly, then today would be a complete victory.
"Is that so? If you think I dare to challenge you with just the people outside, then you're underestimating me! "Yang Fuzhao looked straight at Tao Duan. He had waited for this day for too long.
"Leader, this is not good. Quickly look. " At this moment, someone shouted. Tao Duan's bad premonition grew stronger. He actually saw a group of people flying in the night sky. Under the night sky, huge wings slowly glided.
"Everyone, shoot them down!" Tao Duan shouted.... He did not expect the other party to fly... Even Tao Duan did not think of this move..
"Everyone, kill them!" Yang Fuzhao couldn't let these people die in the air. The people behind him pulled out the crossbows at their waists and shot at the bandits in succession.
..... the corpses were full of arrows...................... Tao Duan saw that Yang Fuzhao was actually using such a powerful killing weapon. Moreover, this kind of thing was clearly forbidden. How did he, Yang Fuzhao, get it?
................... Tao Duan looked at Yang Fuzhao. No matter what kind of deal Yang Fuzhao made with the soldiers outside, he was afraid that the other party would not give Yang Fuzhao these things. And if a civilian were to possess these things privately, he would be arrested for treason.
. "These were given to me by someone. Don't worry, the higher-ups will not find out." Yang Fuzhao could not be bothered to explain to Tao Duan.
When Tao Duan heard Yang Fuzhao's words, he suddenly thought of the jewelry Yang Fuzhao brought back to the stronghold. As he had given him a few boxes, he did not pay attention to them. These weapons were probably hidden in those boxes. Furthermore, there seemed to be someone behind Yang Fuzhao. Who was that person? This was what Tao Duan was most afraid of.
Because of Yang Fuzhao's restraint, the soldiers in the air landed safely in the stronghold. Their arrival disrupted the original balance. These people fought with the bandits in the stronghold. As for the soldiers outside, there was no one to resist and they successfully broke through the gate. Seeing the soldiers enter in a single file and his demoralized subordinates, Tao Duan's eyes flashed with grief. He had lost in the end.
Seeing the one-sided battle, his original confidence and domineering aura collapsed. Even his aura declined. Like a landslide, the Black Mountain Stronghold fell into a hopeless situation. A one-sided massacre had begun.
"Leader, let's run! Even without the Black Mountain Stronghold, we still have a chance to make a comeback. "Xiong Ba stood beside Tao Duan. Tao Duan looked at Xiong Ba and felt touched.
Out of so many people, only this person who had been with him for the shortest time was the most loyal. Tao Duan nodded. "Tao Duan, where do you think you're going? Leave that thing behind!" Yang Fuzhao stood in front of Tao Duan with a spear in his hand.
"You really are after that thing. But that's impossible. Even if I die, you won't get it." Tao Duan laughed loudly. His words were full of contempt. Yang Fuzhao was after that thing. If that thing was made public, there would not be many people in the world who could resist its temptation.
"Then you can go to hell!" Yang Fuzhao's face was gloomy. With a swing of his spear, the spear shot out like a dragon and pierced towards Tao Duan. The sharp edge and sharp spear light caused Tao Duan's face to change.
"You've learned a lot in these two years!" Tao Duan pulled out the sword at his waist and deflected Yang Fuzhao's spear. He couldn't help but praise in his eyes. This person who was under his influence a few years ago now had the strength to fight against him.
"That's right. For revenge, I've been working hard all the time." Yang Fuzhao didn't stop. He turned his body and retracted his spear, smashing it over his head.
Tao Duan blocked with his sword and began to counterattack. "Although your spear technique is good, the gap between our realms is something you can't imagine." Tao Duan's aura rose sharply. Even Yang Fuzhao was suppressed by him.
"You really broke through this realm." Yang Fuzhao's face changed. He didn't expect that Tao Duan's cultivation didn't slack in the slightest in these two years.
"Now, I'll show you the gap between our realms." The space around Tao Duan began to distort as if there was a force beginning to spread. Yang Fuzhao's spear actually stopped a few feet in front of Tao Duan, unable to move even an inch.
Blocking the spearhead was a layer of Astral Qi, and when Tao Duan's sword slashed down, the Astral Qi was attached to the sword. Yang Fuzhao retracted his spear and flipped to the side, and at the place where he was originally standing, there was actually a sword scar that was several feet long and one foot deep. Yang Fuzhao dodged, but the others were not so lucky, and a few of them were directly cut in half by the Astral Qi.
"Do you see? This is the Grandmaster Realm. The release of internal force. This kind of power that can be controlled at will is something you won't understand. " After Tao Duan finished speaking, he swung his sword again. The Earth Energy directly pressed down on Yang Fuzhao. Yang Fuzhao could only use his spear to block.
Fortunately, his spear was a treasure. If it was ordinary iron, it would have been cut in half by this sword. Although the sword was blocked by the spear, the Earth Energy pressed down on Yang Fuzhao, causing him to vomit blood.
"Heaven and Earth Slash." At this moment, a blade light, colder and brighter than the moonlight, cut through the sky, cutting a bloody path through the crowd and fiercely slashing at Tao Duan's Earth Energy.
Tao Duan saw that Nie Li's blade was about to cut through his Earth Energy. He hurriedly withdrew his sword and opened up a distance. "Thank you." Yang Fuzhao looked at Nie Li and thanked him.
Nie Li looked at Tao Duan and felt an indescribable pressure. It was even greater than the pressure Yang Fuzhao gave him. Moreover, the person beside Tao Duan was actually the mountain village youth he had met before, Xiong Ba. He didn't expect him to be here.
"You are?" Tao Duan looked at the man in front of him. Although his aura wasn't as strong as Yang Fuzhao's, it wasn't inferior by much. The most terrifying thing about this person was that his Blood Qi was too strong. He had probably killed a lot of people.
"Shadow Kill, Ghost Emissary." Nie Li said. He was wearing a ghost mask, so he wasn't afraid that Xiong Ba would recognize him. Even if he did, it wouldn't matter.
"This is your helper? Yang Fuzhao, the person you found is too weak. "Tao Duan looked at Nie Li. Although his aura was strong, his true strength was only at the mid-stage Xiantian realm. With such strength, he could kill countless people by himself.
Nie Li didn't pay attention to Tao Duan's words. He knew that his strength was far from enough. "So what if there's a difference in strength? You'll soon become a ghost under my blade."
"What an ignorant brat. You don't know fear." Tao Duan heard Nie Li's words. Although his current situation wasn't good, he wasn't someone that could be bullied by just anyone. At the very least, it wasn't possible for a mid-stage Xiantian brat like him.
Nie Li didn't show any mercy and immediately used the Soul Rendition. He took out a bamboo flute from his bosom and started playing it. The strange tune was especially ear-piercing in the midst of the fighting.
Those with weaker cultivations covered their ears as they followed the changes in Nie Li's tune. Even Yang Fuzhao and Tao Duan were slightly affected. Yang Fuzhao tightly covered his ears while Tao Duan released his Earth Energy to protect himself. However, his Earth Energy was constantly twisting. From the looks of it, Nie Li's Sound Wave Technique had affected him quite a bit.
However, the others weren't so lucky. Those around Nie Li didn't have high cultivations. Regardless of friend or foe, they all bled from their seven orifices and died. Their eyes were wide open and filled with blood vessels, looking extremely horrifying.
Countless corpses were lying on the ground. Tao Duan and Yang Fuzhao sucked in a breath of cold air as they looked at the corpses. This was much faster than killing them one by one. Tao Duan circulated his energy and hurriedly adjusted his breathing to calm his restless internal energy.
"Heavenly Demon Transformation", "Heart Suppression", and "Pointer of Rivers and Mountains", Nie Li used three moves in a row. First, he used the Heavenly Demon Transformation to strengthen himself. Nie Li's aura grew even stronger, even stronger than Yang Fuzhao's. His robes were suffused with a black light, his black hair danced in the wind, and his eyes were scarlet red.
The Heart Suppression Seal suppressed Nie Li's body.
Nie Li pointed his right index finger towards Tao Duan. The black aura around him condensed in the air and formed a huge finger. Slowly, it descended towards Tao Duan with boundless might.
"Yang Fuzhao, hurry up and make your move. What are you standing there for?" Nie Li shouted. His attacks wouldn't be able to break through Tao Duan's aura unless he used his blade technique. However, Nie Li didn't want to use all his trump cards at once.
"I got it." Yang Fuzhao's long spear pointed three times. The resplendent spear light formed a triangular shape in the air and nailed onto Tao Duan's aura.
"Ci ci" The spear light weakened bit by bit. However, Tao Duan's aura wasn't damaged in the slightest.
"I'll give you another helping hand." The demonic core within Nie Li's body trembled as he used the Great Blood Hand. The surrounding corpses exploded one after another. Countless strands of blood condensed into threads that wrapped around Nie Li's right hand.
Tao Duan looked at Nie Li's right hand. That hand covered in blood made him feel a trace of threat.
"Go!" Nie Li waved his right hand. The huge Great Blood Hand heavily smashed onto Tao Duan's aura.
"Bone Piercing Soul Piercing Spear." Looking at Nie Li's Great Blood Hand, Yang Fuzhao's spear was like a dragon as it pierced forward. The golden spear sank into the Great Blood Hand.
