Miao Yi wanted to get up after crashing to the ground, but when he saw that everyone was surrounding him and that he wouldn't be an exception, he simply fell to the ground as if he were seriously injured.
Previously, they wanted Miao Yi to be the last one so they could escape. Now, it was Miao Yi's turn to pretend to be injured and watch them fight with their lives on the line. None of them were good people. Compared to the Miao Yi from back then, he was like a completely different person. Perhaps it could be said that the older one got, the more cunning he became. He was no longer as innocent as he used to be.
Meanwhile, the sky above was a chaotic battle. With so many Golden Lotus cultivators engaged in a chaotic battle, the shockwaves from their battle caused the mountain peaks to crumble. Black smoke billowed out from the volcanoes, and lava gushed out from the bottom of the volcanoes. It truly felt as though the sky was falling and the earth was shattering.
Lying on the ground, pretending to be unconscious, Miao Yi had already been buried by the tumbling rocks and collapsed soil several times. However, every time he was buried, he would climb up again and keep his face above the ground to observe the battle outside.
As expected, the Black King's strength was greatly reduced after being repeatedly injured by Xiahou Longcheng and Kou Wenlan. He wasn't much stronger than the six Deputy Generals. If it wasn't for the powerful red crystal spear in his hand and the black banner wrapped around his body that was like a bottomless pit, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the combined attacks of these people.
And these people also had experience dealing with him, so they didn't hesitate to use their techniques. They used their arts to wrap the soil around them, and whenever they were attacked by the black light, the soil would immediately block it.
As a result, seeing that the Black King wasn't that powerful, Xu Tangran and the others' confidence was boosted. Naturally, they were no longer afraid of the Black King. At this moment, the Black King had become a shortcut to promotion and wealth in their eyes. The six deputy generals were determined to kill the Black King.
"Stop him! Kill anyone who retreats! "Luo Wanguang shouted.
The miserable Black King wanted to escape, but he was trapped by the thirty Golden Armored Heavenly Generals. They surrounded him from all sides and attacked him without retreating. If the Celestial Emperor were to see this, he would probably be moved.
At this moment, the Black King hated Miao Yi to the core. These people had already fled at the first sign of trouble, but Miao Yi still managed to force them to fight him to the death.
Seeing that he couldn't escape for now, the Black King decided to fight them to the death.
As he swept his spear, the black banner wrapped around his body suddenly exploded with countless black lights, coordinating with his attack.
The Celestial Generals used the soil layer to block the attack, but the Black King took the opportunity to stab out with his spear. Through the soil layer, the spear pierced through Shao Dengguang's chest armor, and the sharp tip of the spear sank into his heart.
The layer of earth that was blocking the way fell apart, revealing Shao Dengguang's incredulous eyes.
At this moment, no one cared about Shao Dengguang's life or death. Four or five swords and spears simultaneously hit the Black King's body. Other people's defense might be impenetrable, but the Black King's defense was like a bottomless pit.
"Puff!" Shao Dengguang spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying.
"General!" His four subordinates cried out in alarm.
Xu Tangran and the others didn't dare to use their old moves. Seeing that their attacks were ineffective, they quickly stopped. Bu Lianzhong shouted, "Attack his eyes and limbs!"
The black banners were not able to completely cover those parts of the body, and the attacking positions of the surrounding people immediately changed.
The Black King swept his spear, and the black light on his body burst out again. When everyone used the soil layer to block again, Xu De shouted, "Immortal-Binding Chains!"
Without waiting for the Black King to attack again, twenty to thirty Immortal-Binding Chains whizzed over, shining like spirit snakes. This was the standard equipment of the Celestial Court. As long as one reached the General level, they would be equipped with one. It was convenient to use it to capture people.
The Black King quickly swung his spear, and the sharp tip of the spear quickly broke a few chains. However, there were too many of them, and they were instantly bound tightly.
"Kill!" Xu Tangran and the others shouted. The five Deputy Generals worked together and took the opportunity to attack with their swords and spears. Some chopped hands, some chopped feet, and some pierced eyes.
Unexpectedly, the Immortal-Binding Chains on the Black King's body were like clay oxen in the sea. They directly entered the protective black banners, and instantly untied the Black King.
Not only were the besiegers shocked, but even Miao Yi, who was watching from below, gasped. How could this be? What kind of treasure was this black banners? How could it be so powerful?
With this mistake, they were immediately in trouble. The Black King tilted his body, and the five of them missed their target. The Black King took the opportunity to swing his spear in a circle. The sharp tip of the spear pierced through the armor, and a stream of blood spurted out.
The five of them groaned. The armor around their abdomen was broken, and they were almost cut in half at the waist. Their abdomens were cut open, and if it weren't for their arts protecting them, their intestines would have been cut open.
"Attack!" The five of them shouted as they quickly retreated.
The people who were supposed to be the main attackers retreated, and the group of people who were supporting them immediately surrounded them and attacked wildly.
However, they were no match for the Black King. Their cultivation wasn't high enough, and with the retreat of the five Deputy Generals, there was no one left to control the situation. In addition to the black light that shot out from the Black King's body from time to time, it didn't take long for the Black King to kill more than a dozen of them. One by one, they fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
Xu Tangran and the others were both shocked and furious. Even though they were heavily injured, they still gritted their teeth and charged forward. They had no choice but to fight with their lives on the line. After being tricked by Miao Yi, they couldn't go back, so they could only fight with their lives on the line.
As soon as they stabilized their position, Miao Yi broke through the ground and charged forward with a loud boom.
He had no other choice. If he didn't do something now, no one would be able to escape later. Furthermore, looking at Xu Tangran and the others, it was unlikely that they would abandon him and run away again. Hence, he charged forward.
From below, Miao Yi attacked with his spear. After watching from below for so long, he had already found the Black King's weak point. It was the part that the black banners didn't cover.
In an instant, his spear shot out like a dragon, and a cold glint shot out towards the Black King's feet.
Surrounded by the five of them, the Black King's feet kept dodging, but he couldn't outrun the speed of Miao Yi's spear. In the blink of an eye, his feet were hit a few times.
The Black King didn't think much of it at first. His feet weren't his weak points, and he had already been hit a few times before. Who knew that Miao Yi's attacks felt different? Every time his feet were hit, there would be a sizzling sound, and a puff of black smoke would rise. At the same time, something that made his soul tremble was injected into his body. After a few sizzling sounds, the Black King was almost scared out of his wits.
"Ahhh …" The Black King let out a shrill roar, and rushed towards the sky at top speed.
"Trap him!" Miao Yi roared, and chased after the Black King's feet.
Naturally, Xu Tangran and the others noticed Miao Yi's ability to harm the Black King. They were overjoyed, and even though they were heavily injured, they quickly attacked with their weapons and followed the Black King to the sky.
"Stop him from above!" Xu Tangran shouted. It wasn't just him, but the other four also shouted, "Stop him!"
The remaining ten or so people rushed to the sky and surrounded him from above.
The Black King sensed the terrifying changes in his body, and the panic in his eyes reached its peak. His limbs were already weak from fear, but he couldn't escape.
"Ahhh!" The Black King suddenly let out a shrill roar, and the black banner on his body suddenly exploded with countless rays of black light, forcing everyone to defend themselves. The Black King then charged downwards in a frenzy, as if he wanted to fight to the death with Miao Yi.
Miao Yi wasn't one to fight with his life on the line. He quickly dodged and ran for his life.
Before the Black King could chase after him, Xu Tangran and the others joined forces to trap him. They were all ecstatic, as they noticed that the Black King's strength was rapidly declining, and it was becoming more and more difficult for him to deal with their attacks. This undoubtedly boosted everyone's morale, and their attacks became even more ferocious.
In the end, Xu De smashed down with his spear. The Black King couldn't hold the spear in his hand any longer, and it flew out of his hand. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground with a thud.
Whoosh whoosh! The others followed suit, and with their weapons drawn, they quickly cut off his arms and legs.
Xu Tangran moved quickly, and grabbed the black banner on the Black King's body, pulling it into his own hand to take a look.
He threw out an Immortal-Binding Rope, and tied the Black King up tightly on the spot. Several weapons were pointed at the Black King's body, and the Black King had completely lost the ability to resist. He curled up on the ground, trembling non-stop. Gray smoke rose from his body, and he looked like he was in extreme pain.
Xu De picked up the Black King's Red Crystal Spear, and walked to Miao Yi's side, smiling. "Little Brother, you've done a great job this time. If it weren't for you, this Black King wouldn't have been captured. I wonder what kind of miraculous method you used to deal with him?"
Xu Tangran and the others' expressions changed when they heard this. If they were to be honest, Miao Yi was indeed the main reason they were able to capture the Black King. Otherwise, it was hard to say who would have died.
Miao Yi smiled faintly. "It's nothing. I just used a little poison on the spear!" He turned to Xu Tangran and said, "Brother Xu, quickly check if Commander Kou is safe inside the black banner. No …" His voice stopped abruptly, because there was a sudden movement behind him. He waved his hand, but it was still too late.
A sharp spear had pierced into his lower back. The Red Crystal Spear in Xu De's hand, the one he picked up from the Black King, had taken advantage of Miao Yi's unguarded state to suddenly break through Miao Yi's golden armor, and pierced into his lower back.
Fortunately, Miao Yi reacted quickly, and caught it in time. The sharp spearhead had only pierced halfway in, and blood was already gushing out.
Miao Yi turned around, his eyes bulging. He shouted angrily, "Xu De, how dare you harm me!"
It was too sudden. He didn't expect Xu De to suddenly make a move. At such a close distance, he suddenly launched a sneak attack without being prepared. The consequences could be imagined. If it weren't for his quick reaction, he would have been killed by Xu De's spear.
Xu De forcefully stabbed the spear in his hand, but Miao Yi caught it and pushed Miao Yi, causing him to slide on the ground. This scene made Xu Tangran and the others exchange a knowing look.
Xu De, who was pushing Miao Yi forward, had a ferocious expression on his face. "Niu Youde, you little thief. You were greedy for a little merit. How dare you ignore the lives of your brothers and pretend to be dead. If it weren't for you, Shao Dengguang wouldn't have died in battle. If it weren't for you, so many of our brothers wouldn't have been sacrificed.
Xu Tangran laughed coldly. "Indeed, he deserves to die!" He looked at the black banner in his hand. For the time being, he had no intention of letting Kou Wenlan out.
Bu Lianzhong said, "It won't be enough to appease the public's anger if we don't kill him!"
Kong Feifan said, "Brother Xu, go ahead. With so many witnesses, no one can say anything if you kill this little thief."
