The further she went into the grassland, the softer the ground became, and the deeper the Empress's feet sank.
But at the same time, she walked faster and faster. Her feet rose and fell on the soft and dangerous grassland so fast that the naked eye couldn't see her clearly. She left a shadow behind!
The chilly air of the Wilderness in autumn brushed past her cheeks and caused a shrill sound of wind. Her hair trembled slightly and her plain skirt turned into a line as hard as iron.
The cavalrymen of the Golden Tribe didn't realize what was going on until now. They were shocked and confused by the incredible scene they had just seen. They pulled their bowstrings desperately and shot sharp arrows.
The arrows fell like rain, accurately predicting the Empress's speed in advance, and shrouding her figure.
The corners of the Empress's mouth rose slightly. She kept moving forward with a smile.
The sharp arrow carried a heavy force as it heavily shot into her body.
With a crisp sound, the arrows broke in the middle!
The torrential rain of arrows tore through her skirt, cutting through her fluttering hair, shooting deeply into the grassland. However, not a single arrow could inflict the slightest bit of harm to her!
Looking at this strange scene, the cavalrymen of the Golden Tribe became extremely shocked. Their hands became stiff subconsciously, and the speed of shooting arrows gradually slowed down.
…
…
In the eyes of all the Tangs, the Empress was the mother of the country. In the impression of the people of Chang 'an, the Empress was a gentle but skillful woman. She had been favored by His Majesty for more than ten years.
But no matter what impression they had, the Empress was always a weak woman. However, the Empress who appeared at the foot of Helan City in front of everyone was a general who launched a fearless charge to the enemy camp.
Han Qing and the two generals of the Northern Battlefront Army woke up from the initial shock and looked at Master Huang Yang with complicated expressions.
They were senior generals of the Tang army, and they were all martial arts cultivators themselves. How could they not see that the Empress … was actually a member of the Devil's Doctrine!
Master Huang Yang looked at them and sighed, "What are you still doing here?"
The three of them came to themselves and quickly walked down the city wall.
The Tang army on the city wall didn't see the secret. Even if they knew, they wouldn't care.
All they knew was that the Empress was charging at the damned cavalrymen of the Golden Palace. They were greatly inspired by the Empress' awe and waved the podaos in their hands, incessantly shouting and cheering for the Empress.
"Long live the queen!"
"Long live the Empress!"
The heavy gate of Helan City was slowly opened in the thunderous cheers. Inside the gate, the armored cavalrymen of the Northern Battlefront Army were ready to attack, waiting for the last order.
…
…
The Empress was very fast. She was so fast that she looked like a demon.
When she rushed into the camp of the Golden Palace cavalry, neither the sharp machetes nor the shrill arrows could touch her skirt. They could not even slow her down.
She rushed to the south of the cavalrymen of the Golden Palace. Her body was like the edge of a long sword. She easily pierced through the defensive line of more than a hundred cavalrymen of the Golden Palace and landed on the gorgeous carriage.
With a light touch of her seemingly weak shoulder, the several grassland experts clad in metal armors were sent flying in all directions like stones smashed by iron hammers, falling on the ground of the wasteland in the distance.
The old priest in the carriage was still expressionless. He looked at the Empress who was so close to him. His bloody lips kept moving and his fingers kept tapping on the metal disc.
The Empress knew that the priest wanted to release all his spiritual power through the disc to the ground in front of Helan City before he died. She wouldn't give him the chance.
She reached out her delicate right hand and clenched it tightly.
The Empress's hand was small and soft. Even if she clenched it tightly, it still looked small, like the lovely white fruit of the magnolia. It was not threatening at all.
Then her fist fell on the metal disc.
The metal disc didn't break.
The metal disc jumped up and hit the chin of the high priest heavily.
The High Priest's neck and lower jaw suffered a heavy blow and were completely shattered. He died in an extremely straightforward manner.
Fresh blood flowed onto the metal disc and dyed the complicated lines red.
…
…
After the Empress killed a high priest, she was immediately surrounded by the crowd.
The powerful grassland warriors who had been shaken away by her rushed back to the carriage and surrounded her with more cavalrymen.
Master Huang Yang stood on the wall of Helan City and looked at the scene in the distance. He frowned slightly. Although he was not worried about the Empress's safety, time was still running out.
The national master of the Golden Palace in the last carriage had not made a move yet.
Huang Yang took out a string of Buddha beads that he had been wearing since he was a child. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat some blood on it. Then he raised his wrist and threw the string of Buddha beads over the city wall.
The blood-stained Buddha beads spiraled in the air and fell on the grassland dozens of feet away from the city wall.
Because of the death of a high priest, the ground outside Helan City had become soft and muddy, although it had not become hard again. When Master Huang Yang's Buddha beads fell on the ground, a merciful yet violent aura of fire quickly spread around the Buddha beads.
In his early years, Master Huang Yang traveled with a group of merchants in the depths of the West Wilderness. They encountered the merciless slaughter of horse bandits, and the blood of his companions flowed onto his body. The blood was very hot, burning hot, as if it was about to burn.
It was at that moment that he was enlightened.
His Dharma Access was the Fire of Blood and Fury.
At this time, there were many corpses of the Tang soldiers lying on the muddy grassland in front of Helan City, soaked in blood. Master Huang Yang no longer calmed his anger with Dharma Access.
When the fire burned, the water would dry up. Even the thin yellow mud would become hard bricks.
The grassland was drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then it gradually solidified.
Looking at the changes in the wilderness, General Han Qing shouted and raised the podao in his hand high. He squeezed his horse's abdomen and led hundreds of Tang cavalrymen out of Helan City. They rushed towards the cavalry of the Golden Tribe. Behind them, there were still thousands of Tang cavalrymen waiting to follow them out of the mountain gap!
The Northern Battlefront Army had been trapped in Helan City for many days because of the terrible rainstorm. After the rain stopped, they were besieged by the grassland barbarians. Their morale was low and they were tired. However, when they got back on their familiar horses and held their podao hilts, their spirits and morale instantly returned to their bodies.
The hoofbeats were like thunder, and the Tang cavalrymen were full of vigor!
Han Qing commanded the Tang cavalrymen to divide into three iron streams and charge toward the other three carriages guarded by the grassland cavalrymen. He led his subordinates and rushed to the south without hesitation.
The carriage of the grassland cavalrymen to the south had been destroyed. From a tactical point of view, there was no point in charging there. However, for Han Qing, that carriage was very important.
Because the Empress was still there, being besieged by the grassland barbarians.
He had no time to think about whether the Empress was a remnant of the Devil's Doctrine. He only knew that he was the Emperor's servant, and the Empress was the Emperor's woman. How could he watch her die?
…
…
The Empress was blocked by the grassland cavalrymen.
Since she married the Emperor, she had not practiced the skills of the Devil's Doctrine for many years. However, as the former Saintess of the Devil's Doctrine, she had enough genuine Qi in her body. She would not be in any danger in a short time.
The pair of white jade-like fists were like two hills. The grassland cavalrymen who came into contact with them either neighed and fell to the ground, died from broken bones, or were thrown far away.
Only the few true grassland experts were able to put up a slight resistance.
But she was not satisfied. Looking at the luxurious carriage deep in the enemy's formation and the ordinary old man in it, she frowned in the cold wind of the Wilderness.
If she could not kill the legendary national master of the Golden Tribe, or force him to retreat, then everything would be over.
The Empress waved her right hand and hit a cavalryman who jumped down with a machete into the air. She quickened her pace and walked toward the carriage with a determined look and a faint smile on her lips.
The ordinary old man was the national master of the Golden Tribe Royal Court who had been living in seclusion for many years.
He saw the Empress of the Tang Empire walking toward him and guessed her intention. His old face did not show any panic. Instead, he slowly raised the corner of his mouth like the Empress, revealing an indecipherable smile.
Then the old man reached behind him and lifted a blood-colored curtain hat to cover his face.
When the curtain hat was lifted, the national master's face suddenly became gloomy.
No one could see that his face was getting older and thinner.
Only his slightly bright eyes could be seen. They were so tranquil and deep.
The national master looked at the Empress who was walking toward him.
The Empress met his eyes and suddenly felt that she had fallen into a bottomless abyss. Her face suddenly turned pale and she groaned. She forcibly suppressed the raging waves in her sense of perception and continued to move forward.
But at this time, her steps became extremely heavy and her body felt weak.
…
…
The national master took off the blood-colored curtain hat and looked at the Empress who was besieged again. He smiled and then ignored what was happening in the south. He pointed to the city of Helan and signaled the two high priests to continue.
The two High Priests sped up their incantations. Their skinny fingers flicked on the metal plate faster and faster, as if they were beating a drum. The bone necklace in front of their chests became whiter and whiter.
The blood color on the surface of the Buddha beads that fell on the ground of the Wilderness gradually faded.
Master Huang Yang, who was on top of the city wall, spat out a mouthful of blood and his face became extremely gloomy.
His Buddha Fire was destroyed by the national master and the two high priests, and he immediately suffered internal injuries.
When the blood on the Buddha beads finally faded, the ground of the Wilderness changed again. The solidified ground became soft and muddy again at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The Tang cavalry noticed the change of the ground. But the heavy cavalry could not stop their charge. If they stopped, they would be crushed by their companions behind them. It was even more terrible than sinking into the mud!
They could only continue to charge desperately, hoping that they could rush into the camp of the Golden Tribe cavalry before the ground completely softened. But everyone knew that it was just wishful thinking.
When the breakthrough of Helan City was about to end in failure again, and it was very likely that they would lose the Empress and the most elite cavalry, there was a sudden commotion outside the battlefield.
More than ten cavalrymen of the Golden Tribe covered their throats and fell off their horses one after another.
In their hands, there were bloody arrows tightly.
