The will of the heavens was unfathomable!
Wu Ming gritted his teeth as he listened to the screams around him and the corpse of Xiao Yu in front of him.
In this chaotic world, even humans were inferior to dogs.
How could he slack off in the face of the main shrine's survival mission?
If the other party's arrows had been slightly off, he would have been the one to die.
"Kill all the Han!"
The hooves of the horses approached. The arrows of the Hu were peerless. Although there were only ten of them, the rain of arrows suppressed the top of the walls. With no one daring to peek their heads out, the Hu managed to charge right up to the walls.
One of the Hu who looked like a decurion bellowed and leaped down from his horse. Using both his hands and feet, he climbed up the wall with the agility of a monkey. A sinister smile hung on his eagle-nosed and deep-set eyes.
In the flickering light, the painted totem on this person's face was distorted, the greenish-black inscriptions seeming to want to devour someone.
Shua!
A green crescent appeared in his hand. Wherever his scimitar passed, the heads of several villagers flew into the air. The scene was extremely bloody, and the surrounding villagers couldn't help but feel their legs turn to jelly.
If they hadn't received news of us and were on guard, such a manor would probably have fallen …
Wu Ming sighed. Seeing even more Hu charge up, he couldn't help but glance at Qin Hu and the others, who were still in a daze. "Let's go!"
At this critical moment, if they didn't show their worth now, when would they?
If the Great Azure Manor was really breached, it would be a joke for them to survive for seven days under the bloodbath of the Hu.
"The Hu want to open the gates, we mustn't let them succeed!"
This was what Wu Ming thought, and this was what he did. He immediately locked onto a Hu that had just come up, roared, and charged forward.
Peng!
The one fighting with Wu Ming was a bearded man. Without even looking, he chopped down with his scimitar. The angle of the attack was strange and the force behind it was vicious. It was extremely simple and direct.
Wu Ming took in a deep breath and suddenly lowered his body, dodging a chop and exchanging punches with the Hu.
When the two energies collided, the bearded man's expression changed. Wielding the scimitar in his hand, he slashed out three more times in succession. Each slash was extremely ruthless, filled with the style of the army.
"His strength is great. At the very least, he is equivalent to an expert at the third tier of the Physical Body Realm, with Bones and Muscles Resonance!"
The path of martial arts began with calming the mind, followed by the tempering of the skin, flesh, and bones. The next level would be the internal strengthening realm of the five viscera and six bowels.
At this moment, Wu Ming was an expert in the Inner Strong Realm of the 4th Tier of the Fleshly Body Realm. Not only were his muscles and bones refined, even his five viscera and six bowels were refined. Even so, he did not dare to use his own flesh and blood to block the enemy's machete.
His expression was solemn, and his feet were like the wind as he dodged the two blades. He took a deep breath, and his abdomen caved in, avoiding the last blade that would have cut his chest open.
This breath was truly terrifying. Wu Ming even felt that his strong lungs were somewhat unable to withstand it. They were filled with a burning sensation. He immediately punched out.
Bang!
His fist struck the cavalryman's head with all his strength, smashing him down the wall.
[Killed one Hu cavalryman. Obtained 50 small merit points!]
Almost at the instant the cavalryman fell down, Wu Ming heard the mechanical voice of the main shrine in his mind.
"Ah!"
At this moment, a cry of alarm rang out. It turned out that Huang Ying and Kang Shouli had met with trouble.
A Hu smiled sinisterly as he charged forward. Kang Shouli, who was at the 2nd Tier of the Fleshly Body Realm, looked at the ferocious Hu and lost all his courage. Unable to move, he was beheaded with a single slash, causing Huang Ying to let out a sharp cry.
On the other side, Wang Yin's face was as calm as water. He was entangled with the decurion, Warrior Tu Lu, and punched and kicked each other, creating loud banging sounds. The other group of people had all shrunk back and surrounded Wang Qiao to hide, causing Wu Ming to have the urge to curse.
He then glanced at Qin Hu. This brat's face was as dark as water. He held a steel saber that he had gotten from somewhere and was currently fighting with a Hu person. The battle was intense. Seeing this, Wu Ming sighed inwardly. With a few steps, he arrived behind the Hu person that Huang Ying was facing and punched.
Unexpectedly, the Hu was already prepared. He suddenly turned his head and chopped down, the flash of a blade coming down from above.
A feeling of emptiness and helplessness came over. Clearly, he had not struck his target. A hint of surprise appeared on the Hu's face. Soon after, Wu Ming grabbed the back of the Hu's collar and lifted him up, releasing and withdrawing his strength.
Bang!
With a loud sound, the Hu's body came into contact with the wall. His neck was twisted at a strange angle, and even half his head was caved in. It was clear that he would not survive.
"Thank … thank you, Young Master Nameless, for saving me!"
Such a violent scene caused Huang Ying to be stunned for a long time before she said in a daze.
"It's no big deal … I just did what I could …"
Wu Ming said casually. Soon after, he saw old man Wang Qiao shout loudly and two rows of village warriors scatter, revealing a few things. The corner of his eye twitched, and he almost cursed.
"You dare to have designs on the Great Azure Manor? Attack! "
Amidst old man Wang Qiao's angry roar, a few village warriors wearing leather armor and holding well-tempered steel blades charged over. They were at least martial artists of the Second or Third Tier of the Physical Body Realm.
The other group was even more ferocious. They took out more than ten longbows and took aim. There was even a crossbow among them!
"Crossbow? Armor? It seems that no matter what dynasty, private possession is considered treason, right? "
Seeing such a powerful weapon appear, even Wu Ming's forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
However, he was clear that not only were the high-end martial artists of this world astonishing, even the conventional martial arts far surpassed those of his previous world.
As expected, upon seeing this formation, the leader of the Hu warriors paled. After shouting a few words, he no longer bothered with Wang Yin and quickly jumped off the wall.
The surviving Hu retreated, but soon after, more arrows flew over from the darkness.
"You want to leave? Ask me first! "
Wang Yin's eyes were bloodshot. He suddenly snatched the crossbow and, using the light from the fire, pulled the trigger at the bottom of the wall.
Weng, weng!
The bow was like a clap of thunder, and the bowstring shook! The powerful force of the mechanism moved like thunder, causing Wu Ming's ears to ring.
Pu!
The moment the Hu warrior landed on the back of his horse, the arrow followed. The powerful force not only pierced through his chest, but also into the back of his horse!
Killing two birds with one stone!
Seeing their leader fall, the still trembling Hu lost their courage. Qin Hu took the opportunity to cut off his opponent's neck, a hint of joy on his face.
The angry curses of the Hu came from below, and a few more arrows flew over.
The villagers on top of the encirclement also gathered their courage, cursing one after another, and shot randomly into the darkness. After a long time of clamor, only then did it slowly calm down.
… …
In the morning, the Great Azure Manor was shrouded in sorrow and solemnity.
Within the ancestral hall, the villagers surrounded the coffins, their eyes red, and the women and children weeping.
As for Wu Ming, Qin Hu, and Huang Ying, who had collected the corpses of Kang Shouli and Xiao Yu, felt as if a huge rock was weighing down on their hearts.
"I still have to thank you for your help last night!"
Wang Qiao, his arm wrapped, came to greet Wu Ming and the others. "Young Master, please be at ease. We will definitely take care of the coffins of your companions …"
It had to be said that Wu Ming and Qin Hu's outburst last night had left a deep impression on Wang Qiao.
After all, two martial artists at the third or fourth tier of the physical body realm would be absolute experts in the Great Azure Manor. Aside from Wang Yin, no one else would be able to stop them.
"Thank you for your righteousness!"
Wu Ming's eyes were slightly red. "But the Hu are vicious and will not give up just like that … We have to make preparations!"
He knew that he might not be afraid of close combat against ordinary Hu cavalry, but if he were to engage in mounted archery on the plains, he would only be tortured to death.
In terms of close combat, a single Turu warrior was enough to give him a headache.
In comparison, he had to advance and retreat together with the Great Azure Manor to have a chance of survival.
"How could I not know that last night was only a vanguard? Historically, when the Hu make a move, they always send at least a hundred people … "
Old Wang smiled bitterly, looking as if he wanted to say something.
Wu Ming naturally knew what he wanted to say, so he said, "I can write a letter, but there will definitely be Hu cavalry near the Great Azure Manor, I'm afraid …"
These words made Wang Qiao's heart sink, and he could not help but be at a loss. "What should we do? What should we do … "
It had to be said that although this person was a little scheming, he had been at peace for a long time. Now that he was suddenly faced with an iron-blooded expedition, it was already good that he could perform this well.
But no matter what he thought, Wu Ming would definitely not agree to anything.
After all, it would be a miracle if he could really call for reinforcements!
But times were different now. Even if Old Wang Qiao found out something was wrong, could he still push the few of them away?
Moreover, this person probably did not dare to say the truth and cut off the last shred of hope for the people of the manor.
When drowning, even if it was the last straw, one had to desperately hold on to it.
Perhaps, in Wang Qiao's heart, he was still desperately deceiving himself.
Wu Ming's lips curled into a smile, but he said, "I know that the Hu are vicious and inhumane, but some of their methods must be guarded against!"
…
Not far from the Great Azure Manor.
Inside a temporary camp.
Dozens of Hu solemnly gathered in front of a shaman wearing a deer horn mask, a black and white divine robe, and a blood-colored magic drum hanging from his waist.
At this moment, in front of these people were a few Hu who were bound and kneeling dejectedly. They seemed to be the cavalry that had attacked the Great Azure Manor last night.
"May the Wolf God bless us!"
The shaman suddenly said, "According to the rules of the grasslands … your decurion died in battle, so your entire team should be buried with him!"
His eyes under the antler mask did not seem to have any fluctuations, but the captives were trembling.
"Go! We will inherit your lives, and we will bathe that land of shame in blood! "
The shaman stepped forward and grabbed the hair of a kneeling captive. A golden dagger appeared in his right hand, and he slashed it across the captive's neck.
The artery was cut, and large amounts of blood gushed out. It seemed like an illusion, but the blood-colored magic drum on the shaman's waist seemed even brighter …
"Alegu! Go, wipe that manor off the face of the earth! "
The shaman's voice was filled with mysteriousness as he looked around the camp. There were many sacks of grain, as well as a large number of innocent Han captives ….
