The moment Fang Mofei thought of this, he calmed himself down and his fighting spirit increased.
Now that the situation was clear and there was a huge disparity between the strong and the weak, he believed that his young master would be able to make the right choice. As long as his young master did not force himself to attack, he would not be exposed. Even if he were to die here, it would be worth it!
Of course, if he could drag a few of them down with him at the last moment, it would be even more profitable!
Fang Mofei's long sword trembled and he suddenly let out a long howl. His voice was unprecedentedly fierce, piercing through the clouds and splitting the sky.
The sword light that erupted was endless, rolling like a dragon as it dashed left and right. It was extremely valiant and imposing, forcing the eight experts who were surrounding him into a disadvantageous position!
"He's fighting with all his might. Unfortunately, he's just trying to show off his bravery. He can only gain the upper hand for a moment before he falls back into a hopeless situation and dies in an instant!"
One of the people watching from afar smiled faintly.
Before he finished speaking, someone beside him chuckled. "It's such a big fight, it'd be a pity if he dies in a siege. Let me accompany him and have some fun!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he moved eighty feet away and was already above the battlefield. With a shout, a long saber appeared out of thin air. He swung the saber in a circle and wielded it like a hammer, smashing it down with the force of a mountain!
Fang Mofei did not dare to be careless and defended with all his might. It was a pity that he had pushed his cultivation base to the limit and gained a temporary advantage. In reality, it was like drinking poison to quench his thirst and did not benefit the battle at all. Instead, he had expended a great deal of his vitality. Although he was not completely exhausted, he had lost much of his edge. The saber user who joined in later not only had a higher cultivation base than Fang Mofei, he aimed at the moment when Fang Mofei had used up all his strength and had yet to recover. He was bullying the weak, so how could Fang Mofei defend himself?
With a loud crack, the sword in Fang Mofei's hand broke into two. He spat out a mouthful of blood as he staggered backward unsteadily. Amidst this, a saber landed on his shoulder and a palm landed on his back. If Fang Mofei had not held on with all his might, he would have fallen to the ground.
Fang Mofei's mind was still calm but he felt his internal organs burning and his skills dissipating. There was only one thought in his mind – Young master, please don't appear!
Please don't appear!
Hurry up and leave!
However, just as Fang Mofei had lost all hope and was no longer able to defend himself, a sudden gust of wind blew in the sky above the Yang residence without warning. In an instant, sand and pebbles were sent flying. Even the archers on the tree fell with a thud!
In the blink of an eye, the hurricane that had swept through the entire area turned into a tornado, rushing towards Yang Botao like a raging dragon.
Someone in the crowd could not help but exclaim, "It's Supreme Wind?"
Yang Botao and the people around him glared at the person who had spoken, wishing they could cut him into pieces!
A gale swept across the ground.
The two old men beside Yang Botao had gloomy expressions on their faces. The corners of their mouths revealed a hint of undisguised mockery. They took a step forward at the same time, and like two majestic mountains, they blocked the hurricane head-on!
With a loud bang, the incoming wind was like a mountain crashing into it. Completely without any effect, it changed direction and soared into the sky.
The cultivation base of the two old men was obviously much stronger than the rest of the people present. Moreover, the two of them had joined forces to attack. Even though the hurricane was unstoppable, it could not break through the strong defensive line formed by the two men.
Although the wind had changed direction, it did not seem to stop. Instead, it swept up more grass, trees, sand, and pebbles, covering the sun and sky in an instant. One could not even see one's fingers if one stretched out one's hand. Then, a ray of fire appeared, burning fiercely in the middle of the battle.
Yang Botao's subordinates were indeed elites. There was no hesitation in the face of such a drastic change. With a loud bang, a large pit was smashed into the ground. Everyone had acted in unison to extinguish the abrupt fire.
The hurricane rose up like a raging dragon. One could vaguely see a human figure in the middle of the hurricane. A leisurely voice spoke, "Yang Botao, as an important general of the empire, you do not wish to serve the country but collude with the enemy to frame my Nine Supremes brothers. Your crime is unpardonable! Today, I will only mete out a light punishment. If you dare to commit the offense again, you will be beheaded without mercy! "
The voice rose slowly, coming from afar. Everyone present could hear it clearly.
The sound of the wind finally subsided.
There was a large pit in the Residence of Yang's field. The masked man in black who was severely injured just now was nowhere to be seen.
The two elders beside Yang Botao had disappeared without a trace as well. They had given chase, but it was unknown if they could still catch up to them.
Yang Botao's expression was solemn, his eyes filled with rage.
At this moment, a portion of the archers on the surrounding walls were stunned.
Bewildered gazes looked from all directions, focusing on Yang Botao.
Was the person who had spoken just now the long-awaited Lord Supreme Wind?
Was what he had said just now true?
Was it really Yang Botao who had gone mad and colluded with the enemy to murder the Nine Supremes Lords?
There was no factual basis for this matter nor was there any witness or evidence. There was no room for it to be believed.
However, it was Supreme Flame and Supreme Wind who had appeared just now!
There was no falsehood in this.
They were all people who had been through the battlefield and had the experience of fighting alongside the Nine Supremes Lords many times.
There was no mistaking this familiar feeling!
If these words had come from the mouths of these two lords, was there a need for proof?
There was no need!
The Empire of Yutang's military would never doubt the words of the Nine Supremes Lords, no matter what the content was!
There was no room for doubt!
Clang!
An archer who had been standing on the wall retracted his Deicide Bow and hopped down from the ground. He took a few large strides and came before Yang Botao, asking loudly, "Marshal Yang! May I ask if what Lord Supreme Wind said just now is true? "
As the words left his mouth, the gazes of countless archers shot over like sharp arrows from all directions.
Other than the hundred archers from Yang Botao's troop, the rest of the archers were all staring at Yang Botao with burning gazes.
Even the archers from Yang Botao's troop had lowered their heads and perked up their ears, waiting for Yang Botao's reply.
Yang Botao's expression darkened as he hollered, "It was just the ramblings of the assassin who attacked just now, trying to mislead us. Why did all of you join in the commotion? Didn't you all see the assassin trying to kill me just now? Military orders must be obeyed. Do all of you want to give it a try? "
The military's actions were based on absolute obedience to the superior's orders. Any action that questioned the superior's orders was a crime deserving of death. Under normal circumstances, when Yang Botao had spoken, everyone dared not say anything, even if they still had doubts in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, the archer who had stood up to ask the question said loudly, "This lowly official's confusion doesn't lie with me but with the Nine Supremes Lords. I hope that Marshal Yang can clear up our doubts. If there's anything that violates the military law, this lowly official will shoulder it all and apologize with my death later! But it was the two masters of wind and fire who showed up just now, and they were good at the fire and wind supernatural powers. Since the two masters appeared here and even pointed at the marshal, there must be a reason! "
"This is related to Yutang's national affairs. This lowly official's life is not worth mentioning but this matter must be clarified. Everyone knows that the marshal is the empire's pillar, the protector of the border. Why would the Nine Supremes Lords come looking for trouble with the marshal in such a blatant manner and even say that sir is suspected of harming the Nine Supremes Lords?"
The archer said boldly, "Marshal, please clear up our doubts!"
Before his words echoed in the air, the three hundred archers behind him spoke in unison, "Marshal, please clear up our doubts!"
Yang Botao's expression was as dark as ink as he said in a low voice, "There's an assassin trying to kill me in broad daylight. You all …"
Before he finished, a man in green beside him said, "Marshal Yang, there are only two assassins here today. One is the assassin who attacked us earlier. His moves are brutal and brutal. The other person's cultivation method is strange, but his strength is not high. The move of throwing the fireball is probably from the Thunderbolt Hall. However, the other person's method of turning mystical Qi into Gang and moving like the wind … is even more strange and inexplicable. We can't underestimate him!"
Nominally, this was an analysis of the assassin's background, but it was actually a roundabout way to provide a reason for Yang Botao to deal with the doubts.
Yang Botao understood. He frowned and said, "Two people? Not three people? "
The man came out in a flash and picked up something from the pit. He said, "Marshal Yang, please look at this kerosene that hasn't burned out yet … This kerosene is bright and faintly glows with a green luster. It's clearly the unique kerosene of the Thunderbolt Hall's Clear Sky Thunder Fire! However, I don't know when Marshal offended the Thunderbolt Hall and caused this assassination! "
Yang Botao frowned and sighed deeply. He said, "About a year ago, the young master of the Thunderbolt Hall entered my service. His original intention was to use his military merits for promotion, but I beheaded him for violating military law … Sigh! Although I have a clear conscience in handling this matter, the military law is still too strict. However, it was a war at that time and I really couldn't show mercy outside the law … "
"I see. In a war, military law comes first. Lawbreakers must be punished and law enforcement must be strict. This is how it should be. " The man in green said, "However, the power of the Thunderbolt Hall is too great. Marshal, you should be careful from now on and not be taken advantage of."
Yang Botao shook his head and sighed. "How can the military law be lenient? Even if I had to do it all over again, I would still enforce the law strictly. There's no room for discussion. "
"So what if the Thunderbolt Hall comes looking for trouble with me?" Yang Botao said righteously, "I'm just worried that the enemy is full of tricks and that our brothers will think too much."
Another person hollered with a dark expression, "Did everyone hear that? Don't just listen to rumors in the future. If you believe a few words spoken by an assassin, won't any random person be able to shake the military's morale with just a few words? What a scandal! "
The archers looked at each other, doubt still lingering in their eyes. Finally, they lowered their heads and said, "We were too agitated just now and have misunderstood Marshal. Please punish us, Marshal."
The archers lowered their heads and looked at each other, noticing the glint of doubt in each other's eyes.
They had seen it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears. How could it be erased with just a few words?
Yun Yang's short sentence had planted a seed in the hearts of the northern troop's soldiers.
Was it true or not?
