"I wonder how Ji Ning, Qin Huo, and the others are doing. Everyone, listen up. Speed up. If you encounter an attack, don't ask me. Attack immediately. Kill without mercy!"
Ling Xiao felt the seriousness of the situation.
It was very likely that Ji Ning, Qin Huo, and the others had been captured.
The team continued to move forward at an even faster speed. Moreover, they displayed the banner of the Northern Desert City's Dark Thorn Special Forces.
Ling Xiao did not want to give the other party any excuse to blame him.
Two hours later, they could already see the outline of the Northern Desert City and the Northern Desert Pass.
Ling Xiao's Taiji Eye could see everything around him.
There was indeed an ambush, and there were quite a few of them.
"Listen up, I am Ling Xiao, the Military Governor appointed by the Emperor, the captain of the Northern Desert Army's Dark Thorn Special Forces!"
Ling Xiao sped up as he flashed his waist token and shouted loudly.
However, there was no response.
Ling Xiao even saw mocking smiles in the Taiji Eye.
Although he had guessed this before, he still could not help but feel heartache when he saw it.
The way the Divine Phoenix Empire treated a meritorious subject was really chilling.
He did not say anything else but sped up. Since there was an ambush here, then Ji Ning, Qin Huo, Lv Chenglong, Li Ruguang, Zhang Yufei, Zhuge Ming, and the others were most likely trapped in a cage.
As for Feng Qingyan, he had a special identity. Unless the Emperor wanted to completely fall out with the Fiery Phoenix Tribe, he should not be in any danger.
You must catch up!
Ling Xiao was extremely anxious.
The moment thousands of martial artists entered the ambush, a buzzing sound suddenly resounded in the sky.
Thousands of arrows pierced through the air.
Ling Xiao did not do anything. He continued to speed up on his Demon Wolf.
Xie Li had already soared into the sky and pressed down with his palms. The arrows flying in the air actually flew back. Then, there were continuous screams.
Ling Xiao did not need to do anything.
Xie Li alone was enough to deal with those trash. What they needed to do now was to hurry!
Ling Xiao did not have the slightest bit of sympathy for those who had been killed.
He had already revealed his identity, but the other party did not come out to verify his identity. Instead, they directly fired arrows.
He wasn't that pedantic. Since you've shot arrows, that means you want to be my enemy. There's nothing wrong with me killing you.
"Leave one alive!"
Hime Myung-kō suddenly said.
Xie Li threw a man into Hime Myung-kō's hand.
This person was wearing Divine Phoenix Empire's armor, and from the looks of it, his position wasn't low, he was at least a centurion.
"Who told you to set up an ambush here?"
Hime Myung-kō asked coldly.
"I don't know!"
That person was stubborn. He turned his head and didn't say anything.
Hime Myung-kō laughed coldly and stabbed the man in the throat.
In that instant, the centurion's eyes were filled with regret.
He thought that the other party would interrogate him and give him some benefits, but he didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward.
However, Hime Myung-kō did not care, because there were ambushes along the way. Even if one or two people did not say anything, she did not believe that everyone would not say anything.
Xie Li continued to kill.
Hime Myung-kō kept interrogating.
Those who did not answer were killed without the slightest mercy.
This was a battlefield, not a game. Mercy and sympathy for the enemy might be exchanged for the death of oneself or one's friends.
When they were close to Northern Desert City, Ling Xiao ordered Xie Li to wait outside the city for the time being, while he led the Moon Lady and the Dark Assassins to the city.
Ling Xiao was very clear that there were absolutely no survivors along the way, so the garrison in Northern Desert City certainly did not know the actual situation.
Leaving Xie Li and nearly a thousand scorpion men outside to provide support was the best choice. Once there was an unforeseen event, they would be able to seize the initiative.
"Open the city!"
Standing outside the city, Ling Xiao roared at the soldiers on the city wall.
At this time, General Jia and Jia Yun were nowhere to be seen. Only some unfamiliar faces were left.
"Who are you?"
"Ling Xiao!"
Ling Xiao introduced himself.
"Oh, it's General Ling. We have been waiting for a long time. Open the door!"
The general on top of the city gate curled his lips into a cold smile and then opened the city gate.
Ling Xiao and the others walked into the city gate, and the gate was closed again.
As soon as Ling Xiao entered Northern Desert City, he found that they were surrounded. At this time, there were about 10,000 garrison troops in Northern Desert City, and all of them were present.
The archers were on the city wall.
The cavalry and infantry surrounded them.
"What do you want?"
Ling Xiao asked coldly.
"Under General Jia's order, we are here to wait for the traitor Ling Xiao!"
On the city wall, a general walked down slowly.
He was at the early stage of Ten Directions Heaven.
It was difficult for Ling Xiao to defeat him.
However, today, Ling Xiao did not take the Ten Directions Heaven martial artists seriously at all.
"Traitor?"
Ling Xiao sneered and said, "I chased after Tomohiko Kuma and Timur Mutu for thousands of miles. Now that I am back with Timur Mutu's head, you are saying that I am a traitor?"
When the general saw this, he was surprised and happy.
He was surprised that Ling Xiao was able to take back Timur Mutu's head. This was simply a miracle. They did not even think about it.
He was happy that he could now make a great contribution.
"Ling Xiao, hand over the head. I can give you a quick death on account of your surrender. Otherwise, you will die without a burial place!"
The general sneered.
"Impossible!" Ling Xiao shook his head.
"Hehe, you will die whether you hand it over or not. Do it. Pay attention to protect Timur Mutu's head. As for the rest, kill without mercy!"
The general gave the order, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
He started to imagine that if he brought back Ling Xiao and Timur Mutu's heads and asked for a reward, he would definitely be rewarded handsomely.
With a high position and a generous salary, he could get whatever he wanted.
At the command, the sound of arrows could be heard from the city walls. Like a swarm of locusts, they pounced toward Ling Xiao and the dozens of Dark Assassins.
This was only the first wave of attack.
Their most powerful attack was naturally the cavalry and infantrymen that followed.
"You are courting death!"
Ling Xiao snorted and leaped up. The Golden Crow Sword in his hand emitted a golden light. A giant Golden Crow that was dozens of times bigger than before landed in the Northern Desert city.
Golden Crow Rising Sun!
Raging fire burning the city, Golden Crow Massacre!
With just one move, the arrows were burned to ashes. Countless archers were pierced by the scorching sword aura. Their bodies were burning as they fell from the city walls.
This scene made all the Divine Phoenix soldiers in the city tremble with fear.
The information was not right. How could Ling Xiao be so terrifying?!
How could an ancient martial art practitioner of the Six Heavenly Arts release this kind of power?
Miserable screams rose and fell continuously. Expressions of fear and despair appeared on the faces that were illuminated by the raging fire.
In an instant, more than two to three hundred archers died. And more than a thousand were burned to death by the fire or fell to their deaths.
The fire continued to spread.
It was winter. The north wind whistled, and the fire could not be extinguished at all.
But the strange thing was that the Dark Assassins, with Ling Xiao as the center, became a forbidden zone for the fire.
