"Hmm?!"
You Yishi gripped his steel saber and stared at the air in front of him. He could feel the ripples of air being cut, but he couldn't see anything. He could only raise his saber in front of his chest to block the attack. He felt a sudden chill on his neck, and he felt as if his soul had been stripped from his body. He could no longer muster any strength.
"Puff …"
The Little Magic Sonar Saber revealed its true form after being stained with blood. It spun rapidly in the air, and the Sky Beast Soul hidden in the saber quickly evaporated the blood. It became invisible again and slashed diagonally into the neck of another Jin Zun Ranger.
Only the sound of the saber could be heard, but not seen. These cultivators didn't cultivate any secret arts like the Spirit Pulse Technique, so they couldn't block the Magic Sonar Saber's attack even if they could hear it. The Little Magic Sonar Saber killed two people in a row. One was You Yishi, and the other was Jin Zun. This was the first time the recast Magic Sonar Saber was used, and it had already made a great contribution!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
Arrows flew everywhere, and in an instant, dozens of Rangers were killed or injured on the small path. However, they were still brave. Many of them raised their swords and rushed into the gully, fighting with the Royal Guards.
"Kill!"
The Dragon Spirit in Lin Muyu's hand fell into the crowd in a beautiful arc, killing more than ten people in an instant. However, there were too many Rangers, and the enemy had mobilized at least half of the main altar's men. For a moment, the two sides were in a stalemate.
The royal guards' advantage was their strong individual combat strength. Wei Chou, Xiahou Sang, and the others all raised their weapons and killed in the crowd. The other eighteen royal guards also did their best. Their martial souls shone in the forest, and at the same time, clusters of torches were lit, illuminating the surroundings and making the battle even more tragic.
Both sides showed no mercy and fought with their lives on the line. Lin Mu Yu wielded her longsword as she galloped past. Her longsword smashed a shield into pieces and chopped off the ranger's arm. Instantly, the ranger howled in pain as he rolled on the ground. Losing an arm in an instant, the pain was unimaginable.
At the same time, a Royal Guard fell to the Rangers' messy swords. More than a hundred Rangers in the back took out their bows and arrows and started shooting from afar. In the blink of an eye, another seven or eight Royal Guards fell to the ground in pools of blood.
"Buzz!"
Lin Muyu opened her hand, and the golden wall of the gourd quickly expanded into a wall in front of everyone. The arrows collided with the wall of the gourd, but they could not penetrate it at all. Looking at the people behind her, Lin Muyu shouted, "Quickly clear the area and retreat!"
"Yes!"
Wei Chou, Xiahou Sang, and the others fought the enemy with all their might. In just a short while, the 300 + Rangers behind them had all turned into corpses. However, it was clear that the Royal Guards had suffered heavy losses as well. Many of them were lying motionless on the snowy ground.
…
With the golden wall of the gourd in hand, Lin Muyu shouted at the Rangers who were shooting arrows in the distance, "We are the Royal Guards of Lanyan City. You have repeatedly attacked us. Are you really not afraid of death?"
In the distance, a Silver Exalt Ranger held a longbow in his hand and said with a cold expression, "You dogs of the Empire, you have killed so many of our brothers, and you still want to leave here alive?"
Without saying a word, Lin Muyu opened her right hand and lightning raged. Suddenly, the Dragon Spirit Sword broke through the air and pierced the neck of the Silver Exalt Ranger like lightning. He wanted to continue speaking, but his Adam's apple had completely turned into a pile of minced meat. How could he speak? He fell to the ground with a roar like a wild beast. Lin Muyu raised her hand and caught the longsword that was flipped back to her. She said lightly, "All of you, scram, if you don't want to be killed."
The group of Bronze Exalt Rangers and Iron Exalt Rangers looked at each other. They had already lost their composure. How would they dare to challenge the "God of Slaughter" Lin Muyu? One by one, they raised their longbows and quickly turned and disappeared into the woods.
"My Lady!"
Wei Chou urged his horse forward. His face and battle robe were covered in blood. He said, "Do we chase after these traitors?"
"No need."
Lin Muyu put away the wall of the gourd and took a deep breath to stabilize her restless internal breath. She looked at the corpses on the ground and said, "After they failed their mission, they will soon come after us again. Let's leave quickly. We have already lost a lot of people. I don't want everyone to die here."
"Yes, break camp and hurry through the night!"
They hurriedly buried the bodies of their companions. The battle lasted less than ten minutes, but 21 imperial guards were killed, 11 were seriously injured, and 32 were lightly injured. Almost half of them were wounded. Only Lin Muyu, Wei Chou, Xiahou Sang, and a few others who were above the Third Heaven of Earth Realm were unharmed.
But this was enough to make Lin Muyu's heart ache. Although there were more than 7,000 imperial guards in Lanyan City, too many of them had died in this battle, and they were all loyal and brave soldiers of the Eagle Nest Camp. If one died, there would be one less. Even if they were replaced, they would only be new soldiers. Their combat ability could not be compared at all.
…
In the early hours of the morning, the warhorses were snorting violently. Lin Muyu held the reins and kept moving forward at a high speed. They had to reach Lanyan City as soon as possible, or the House of Chivalry would not let them have an easy time. At this point, they could no longer rest for the night. After discussing with Wei Chou and Xiahou Sang, they set off at night. If they did not sleep for a day and a night, they would probably reach Lanyan City directly.
Sure enough, the House of Chivalry did not have many horses, so it was impossible for them to use cavalry to chase and kill. In this way, they naturally could not catch up with Lin Muyu and the others. After a day and a night of running, several warhorses were so tired that they were foaming at the mouth. Fortunately, on the morning of the third day, they could see the outline of Lanyan City in the distance.
But suddenly, the Spiritual Pulse Technique once again sensed the dense aura of experts appearing on the road in front of them. Lin Muyu hurriedly raised his arm and shouted in a low voice, "Draw your swords and prepare for battle!"
"Yes!"
Xiahou Sang pulled out the spear from the back of the horse, while Wei Chou took out the Demon Devouring Bow. It was always good to be able to kill a few people before the close combat.
After bypassing a cluster of bushes, the aura appeared, but it was not the enemy, but the imperial guards led by Feng Jixing, Zhang Wei, Luo Lie, and others were camping on both sides of the road, waiting.
"They're here!" Zhang Wei laughed and said, "Lady Lin Muyu and the others have returned safely!"
Feng Jixing hurriedly mounted his horse and greeted them with a smile, "Yu, have you been all right?"
Lin Muyu shook her head and said, "What happened, Brother Feng? Why are you waiting for us outside the city?"
"It's a long story."
Feng Jixing frowned and said, "Let's talk on the way."
"Yes!"
The imperial guards all mounted their horses and protected the group of imperial guards. Feng Jixing and Zhang Wei stood on either side of Lin Muyu to protect her. They all looked very serious.
"What happened?" Lin Muyu asked.
Feng Jixing said, "After His Majesty ordered the annihilation of the House of Chivalry, the local officials and troops did not do their job well. The House of Chivalry became more and more arrogant. Three days ago, Chu Huaiyin was ordered to escort a batch of weapons back to Lanyan City from Cold Star City. On the way there, he was attacked by the House of Chivalry. The battle was very tragic. More than three hundred imperial guards were killed, and even Chu Huaiyin himself was injured."
Lin Muyu was stunned, "God … Brother Chu was injured? Who ambushed him? How could they be so strong that even someone like Brother Chu was injured? "
Feng Jixing nodded, "According to the investigation, the ambushers were from the House of Chivalry in Earth Star Province. They sent a Grand Travel Agent, three Grand Travel Agents, and seven Jin Zun's, a total of more than 2,500 people to participate in the battle. Chu Huaiyin brought 700 imperial guards with him. The heavy losses were expected, but Old Chu was indeed very strong. The price of him being injured was that the Grand Travel Agent of the House of Chivalry was seriously injured. All three Grand Travel Agents were killed, and more than a dozen Jin Zun and Silver Venerable were also killed."
As he spoke, Feng Jixing looked at Lin Muyu's expression and said, "Yu, were you also attacked along the way?"
"Yes."
Lin Muyu nodded slightly, "I was attacked once on the way there, and again on the way back. They were also from the House of Chivalry, but I didn't lose that many people. A day ago, 21 imperial guards were killed. They didn't send that many people, only about 500 in total. If they had sent more than 2,500 people, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come back."
Feng Jixing took a deep breath, "Damn … these bastards from the House of Chivalry are trying to slap His Majesty in the face …"
"What do you mean?"
"In the past five days, you and Old Chu weren't the only two troops marching on the official road. There were many other troops dispatched, but only the two of you were attacked. Moreover, you two are also newly conferred by His Majesty as one of the Four Heroes of Lan and Yan, one of the Four Generals of 'Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning'. The intention of the House of Chivalry is too obvious. Killing either you or Old Chu will damage His Majesty's prestige …"
Lin Muyu clenched her teeth and said, "The House of Chivalry is now openly challenging His Majesty. They are cursing His Majesty as a fatuous ruler and fabricating all kinds of evidence that His Majesty is a tyrant to confuse people. If we let them continue like this, I'm afraid His Majesty will lose the hearts of the people."
"Isn't that right?"
Feng Jixing nodded and said, "This matter needs to be discussed at length. We will report to His Majesty in detail when we return to Ze Tian Palace."
"Yes, how is Brother Chu's injury? Is it serious?"
"It's alright. A few of his ribs are broken. I'm afraid he won't be able to fight for the next half a month. That's good. He can take half a month off and spend more time with Miss Zhenxiang."
Lin Muyu smiled and said, "Does Brother Feng also think that Brother Chu and Miss Zhenxiang will be a couple?"
"Of course."
Feng Jixing raised his gaze and said, "They are a perfect match. Chu Huaiyin is my brother. Of course, I hope that he can find happiness. Zhenxiang is gentle and kind. She can make Old Chu's heart feel at peace."
"Yes."
Lin Muyu smiled and said, "Brother Feng, you're not young anymore. Why haven't you thought about your marriage?"
Feng Jixing was stunned. He shook his head and laughed at himself. "I, Feng Jixing, have been living on the edge of a knife all my life. It's better not to be a burden to others. Yu, let's not talk about this. Let's go back to Ze Tian Palace quickly!"
"Yes, okay."
