Suddenly, the sound stopped, as if it had never been heard. Chu Huaiyin opened his eyes wide and stayed alert for nearly five minutes, but there was nothing. Qin Lei could not help but laugh. He patted Chu Huaiyin's shoulder and said, "Don't be so nervous, there was no sound at all …"
Chu Huaiyin frowned slightly. "Commander, my spiritual sense will never be wrong."
"Then … increase the vigilance."
"Yes."
…
The cold moonlight sprinkled on the ground like frost. In the open space to the east of Deer Garden, bonfires swayed in the cold wind. This was the camp of the imperial guards, and there were about a thousand imperial guards stationed there. The sound of horse hooves passed by, and a hundred patrolling cavalry whizzed past the perimeter of the camp.
"Clatter …"
Amidst the clatter of the iron chains on his armor, Bai Li stood up. The golden insignia on his collar was the military rank of the imperial chiliarch. He frowned as he looked into the distance and said, "Why do I feel that the tranquility tonight is a little unusual? There's not even a single spirit beast that came to cause trouble. This is too unusual …"
On the side, a centurion who was roasting wild rabbit meat grinned and said, "Sir, you must be too worried about the Emperor's safety this time. Don't worry, the imperial guards and imperial guards have mobilized more than six thousand people, and they are all around the imperial city. Which bastard would have the guts to make a move on us?"
Bai Li nodded. "Yes, although you are right, tell our brothers to keep their spirits up. Don't sleep too soundly tonight. Be ready for battle at any time."
"Yes!"
At this time, on the mountain range to the east of the camp, the light of torches appeared, but quickly extinguished. It was the people of the House of Chivalry. More than two thousand people appeared together on a hill that was about a hundred meters high, using the night and the forest to hide their figures.
Ji Yang pulled on the reins and urged the horse forward slowly. He said in a low voice, "We are about to enter the Forbidden Army's defensive perimeter. All Silver Exalted Rangers, get ready to move out. We will eliminate their hundred-strong cavalry in half an hour. We cannot let them make any noise before we enter the Forbidden Army's camp. By the way, where is Lin Yan?"
One of the Supremacies cupped his fists and said, "Great Envoy You Yi, Lin Yan said that he needed to pee, so he went to relieve himself. However, he didn't follow us. We haven't heard from him for nearly two hours."
"He disappeared?"
Ji Yang's expression turned cold as he said, "Bastard, you actually disappeared in such a situation …."
Li Qianxun sneered. "I knew that Lin Yan isn't on our side. He'll only be a scourge if we keep him in the headquarters. Big Brother, why don't we call off today's operation?"
"No!"
Ji Yang suddenly waved his hand and said calmly, "We can't let go of such a rare opportunity. There won't be a next time. Besides … the Ashen Crane is here too. With his' treasure ', even if the Fire Cauldron Qu Chu is in the camp, we will still force our way into Deer Cry Garden and bring out the head of the incapable ruler. Everyone, be alert and prepare to attack!"
"Yes!"
…
In the darkness of the night, the Forbidden Army's patrols were divided into four teams. Each team had a hundred men. At this moment, a hundred heavy cavalry entered the forest to patrol. They held torches in their hands and looked around cautiously. However, perhaps because the sound of the horses' hooves was too loud, they actually didn't notice the strange movements in the forest.
Whoosh!
An ice-cold arrow shot out from the darkness, piercing through the neck of a centurion with a "Puchi" sound. Immediately afterwards, arrows rained down on him.
"Careful, there's an ambush. Sound the horn immediately!"
Someone shouted. An Imperial Army sergeant quickly took off the horn on his waist. Just as he brought it to his mouth, he saw a black shadow coming through the air, with a milky white Combat Aura!
Bam!
With a muffled sound, the Imperial Army sergeant's head was smashed. Then, martial artists with extraordinary cultivation rushed out from the forest. They were Jin Zun, Silver Elder, and the others from the House of Chivalry. Most of the Imperial Army soldiers were ordinary people who hadn't even entered the Human Realm. How could they be a match for them? In the blink of an eye, they were all killed.
Ji Yang's palms were already stained with blood. With a vicious look on his face, he looked into the distance and said, "Why hasn't the signal been sent out yet? What is the Ashen Crane doing?"
Li Qianxun said softly, "Wait a little longer. There will be."
…
In the inner courtyard of Deer Cry Garden, Qin Lei, Chu Huaiyin, and the others were still guarding the outside of the main hall with their hands on the hilt of their swords. Suddenly, the rumbling sound from underground was heard again. Chu Huaiyin immediately pricked up his ears and shouted, "It's coming. Be careful underground!"
The group of Dragon Guards became solemn.
Bam …
With a loud sound, mud and rocks burst out from the ground. A ferocious head appeared in the inner courtyard. The moment the Burrowing Dragon Snake emerged from the ground, it bit a Dragon Guard in its mouth. The Dragon Guard's face turned pale. He hurriedly circulated his Vital Qi to defend himself. He shouted in a low voice, and a blood-red scythe Martial Soul condensed in front of his chest. He shouted, "Break!"
"Buzz!"
The Martial Soul hummed, and the scythe spun rapidly to cut the Burrowing Dragon Snake's huge mouth. However, it couldn't cut through the scales that were as tough as iron. The Burrowing Dragon Snake growled and closed its jaws. With a "puchi" sound, the poor Dragon Guard was bitten into two. Fresh blood flowed everywhere. At the same time, the Ashen Crane on the Burrowing Dragon Snake's back leaped up. The pressure of its domain quickly descended upon them. It shouted, "Do you think you can stop me?"
The metal staff descended from the sky and landed on Chu Huaiyin's head.
Chu Huaiyin suddenly raised his head, but he couldn't move under the pressure of the Sanctuary. He couldn't help but grit his teeth. Starlight flashed around his body, and his battle energy exploded. "Golden Cicada Shedding!"
Bam!
The Ashen Crane's staff landed, but it only hit Chu Huaiyin's afterimage. Instead, he felt a chill behind him. With a "chi" sound, Chu Huaiyin had appeared behind him. The Star Plucking Finger landed heavily on the Ashen Crane's battle energy armor. Although it couldn't penetrate it, it made the Ashen Crane's aura a little chaotic. Qin Lei and the others broke free from the suppression of the domain pressure. The Dragon Guards quickly drew their swords and surrounded the Ashen Crane and the Burrowing Dragon Snake.
Roar roar roar …
The Burrowing Dragon Snake's body was as hard as iron. Furthermore, it was a 1,300 year old Burrowing Dragon Snake. As it roared, its body swept across the area, turning the buildings into dust. It whipped its tail, and two Dragon Guards were whipped away as if they were flies. They were seriously injured in an instant. The Dragon Guards' counterattack was very weak. The arrows bounced off the Burrowing Dragon Snake's scales, but they didn't cause any substantial damage.
"Violent Lightning Formation!"
Countless lightning bolts rained down around Qin Lei, and at the same time, six God Binding Chains wrapped around his body. He raised the Thunder Splitter Blade and dashed towards Cang Bai He. With a low roar, he slashed out three times. The reason why the God Binding Chains was known as the number one martial soul was because of its powerful attack power. These three slashes all landed on Cang Bai He's iron staff, and unexpectedly, the Sacred Domain expert's blood and Qi became chaotic, and he was forced to take a few steps back.
"Damn it!"
Qin Lei's eyes were cold. He shouted, "Send a signal to ask for help. Let the Royal Guards come in with 'acid water'. The Burrowing Dragon Snake's scales are too powerful. We must use acid water to corrode them in order to penetrate them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a "xiu" sound was heard. A red ray of light shot into the sky from the hands of a Dragon Guard. That was the signal of the Royal Guards. At the same time, the Ashen Crane raised his staff and a milky white battle energy shot into the sky. With a "weng" sound, a white ray of light shot into the sky. It seemed that he was also sending a signal to the outside.
"Not good …"
Chu Huaiyin held his sword and said, "Commander, they should have other surprise teams. What should we do?"
"Don't worry. There's still Feng Jixing! Let's kill that old thing Ashen Crane first. We can't let him step into the main hall. "
"Yes!"
…
At this moment, the signals from both sides appeared one after another. It seemed that there was some kind of tacit understanding.
The Royal Guards of the East Barracks were a little shocked. Chiliarch Baili immediately stood up and mounted his horse with his sword. He said, "Something happened in the palace. First and Second Barracks, get on your horses and follow me to reinforce them. The rest of you stay here and guard the east gate of Deer Cry Garden."
"Yes!"
Everyone got on their horses.
However, not long after Baili left, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the darkness. A group of Chivalrous House Wanderers rushed over like a tornado. They were led by Ji Yang, who had the strength of a Heavenly King, and Li Qianxun, who had the strength of a Heavenly Venerable. There were also many Jin Zun, Silver Venerable, and Bronze Venerable Wanderers. How could the few hundred Royal Guards resist them?
"Shield wall, bows and arrows!"
Giant shields formed an impenetrable wall, and spears poked out from the gaps of the shield wall. The Imperial Guards who stayed behind did not suffer any counterattacks. They pushed the line forward, and the spears pierced through the Rogue Swordsmen and Venerables, killing them one by one. For a moment, the people of the House of Chivalry could not take it. This was the sharpness of an army's battle.
"Bows and arrows!"
Nearly a hundred Royal Guards shot their arrows. The sharp arrows quickly fell into the crowd of people from the House of Chivalry and killed dozens of people.
At this moment, a dignified voice sounded, "Move aside, let me do it!"
Ji Yang made his move. He leaped from the back of his horse and raised his right palm in mid-air. Blood-colored Battle Aura swirled around him. He roared, "What bullsh * t Royal Guards of the Empire. Break!"
"Boom!"
A giant blood-red palm smashed into the shield formation, instantly scattering the shields like a gale sweeping away fallen leaves. Ji Yang was the first to charge into the crowd of Imperial Guards. His palms danced wildly, each strike carrying a wave of battle qi. His attacks were ruthless, killing dozens of Imperial Guards in the blink of an eye. The Imperial Guards, on the other hand, couldn't hurt him. After all, the battle armor around him was too thick, and it was difficult for those without martial souls to penetrate it.
…
In less than five minutes, the 600 Imperial Guards were completely crushed. More than half of them were dead, but the remaining were still holding onto their weapons and fighting bitterly. It was only because of the iron and blood rule that Feng Jixing gave them — the Imperial Guards would rather die than surrender!
Ji Yang did not stay for long. He led his men and quickly broke through the Imperial Army's encampment and rode straight to Deer Cry Park. In the darkness of the night, nearly two thousand members of the House of Chivalry approached the core of the empire's soul — Emperor Qin Jin.
