Hong long!
Like a volcano that had been suppressed to its limits, the dozen or so Goguryeon elites clashed fiercely with the Imperial Army guards and instructors behind the walls.
Sabers and swords clashed, and in that instant, sparks burst forth, lighting up the darkness.
Hong long, the green Halo of Thorns tore the walls of the palace apart as if they were made of paper.
The dozen or so Goguryeon warriors wielding more than thirty Goguryeon swords created a storm of sword qi, suppressing the Imperial Army guards and instructors behind the walls in an instant.
Howl!
Wolf howls sounded. Behind the forceful opening by the Goguryeon warriors, a group of ferocious Turks charged forward. Working together with the Goguryeon elites, they charged toward the group behind the palace.
"AH!"
Panicked cries sounded from behind the walls.
"Get into formation! Ignore those Goguryeon warriors and kill those wolves first. Don't let them get close to the Imperial Army guards and instructors! "
In the blink of an eye, a voice echoed across the night sky, calling everyone back to their senses. Wang Chong was sitting on the floor with a hand clutching his chest. Fresh blood trickled down from the corner of his lips.
That Goguryeon warrior was simply too powerful. If not for his swift reaction, he would have long lost his life. But even so, Wang Chong's injuries weren't light. He felt as if his limbs were on the verge of shattering.
But before he could even sit down to meditate, an intense sense of danger loomed over Wang Chong. The aura of death that followed him like a shadow left his scalp on the verge of exploding.
There was no lack of experts among the Goguryeons. In just a short period of time, they were able to determine the crux of the problem from the situation on the mountain and swiftly changed their strategy.
On White Tiger Peak, Wang Chong had occupied three bases. Of the three bases, the most important one, as well as the only one capable of protecting Chen Burang and Zhou Huang, was the fortress that Wang Chong had opened up.
If this' fortress' were to be destroyed, Zhou Huang and Chen Burang would no longer have anything to protect them from the Goguryeon warriors. If that were to happen, their deaths would be certain.
Without a master archer like Zhou Huang, there was nothing in the entire White Tiger Peak that could threaten the master archers of the Turkic Khaganate.
At that time, no matter how many people there were on White Tiger Peak, they would only be sitting ducks.
— — If the other party was really able to do that, White Tiger Peak would completely collapse, and Wang Chong's previous efforts would all go to waste!
Clang!
A cold light streaked across the darkness like a waterfall, falling towards the pack of wolves. Whoosh! With a flash of the saber light, the six giant wolves were split into two, their heads and tails falling to the ground.
Wang Chong flashed again, executing the Single Character Consecutive Slash to its limits. His feet did not touch the ground as he moved around the wolf pack. In the blink of an eye, pack after pack of giant wolves was killed.
"Kill!"
At the same time, the other trainees also reacted. Following their designated positions, they formed a simple battle formation and began slaughtering the wolves in the surroundings.
With the support of these trainees, the group was barely able to withstand the assault of the Goguryeons.
"Brat, you're courting death!"
Noticing the changes in the surroundings, a Goguryeon saber pierced through the darkness and slashed at Wang Chong.
The might of the saber was enough to topple mountains and overturn seas. If struck, Wang Chong would be severely injured even if he didn't die.
"Single Character Consecutive Slash!"
Wang Chong did not wait for the other side's saber to land, but he had already flipped over and retreated.
"Hmph, you sure are fast!"
In the darkness, the Goguryeon warriors drew their sabers and clashed with the Imperial Army guards and instructors behind the wall.
"Those fellows are too strong!"
At the back of the alley, Wang Chong was kneeling on the ground. His breathing hastened as he stared ahead unblinkingly.
"How's Instructor Xu?"
Kneeling on the ground, Wang Chong asked without turning his head back.
"They can't come over. The Goguryeons are attacking them at the same time. Even though they don't have as many people as here, the number of wolves is much greater. "
A student from the training camp asked. His name was Xu Qi. He wasn't a scion of a prestigious clan, but he was extremely opinionated and courageous. After White Tiger Peak fell into chaos, he was one of the few who volunteered to help the others.
When Wang Chong led his men to the second strategic location beneath the White Tiger statue, he left the students here to him.
Back then, it was agreed that if anything were to happen, he was to seek reinforcements from other locations. The three sides faced off against one another.
Wang Chong had intended to transfer manpower from other locations, but from the looks of it, that wasn't an option at all. Since the second strategic location was under attack, there was no doubt that the third location was under attack as well.
The other party had thought things through thoroughly, not giving him a chance at all!
Peng!
Just as Wang Chong was contemplating over the matter, a sudden change occurred. Peng! An Imperial Army guard drenched in blood suddenly flew high into the air. While he was still in the air, a Goguryeon saber was hurled toward him. The saber pierced through his left chest and exited through his back, piercing through his heart and pinning him to the wall behind him.
In an instant, everyone's face warped in shock!
These Goguryeon warriors were far stronger than the others. It hadn't been long since the start of the melee, but an Imperial Army guard had already been killed.
There weren't many Imperial Army guards and instructors here in the first place, and now that one of them had died, the situation immediately turned dire.
A strong sense of danger immediately rose in everyone's heart!
"Xu Qi, listen to me …"
Wang Chong suddenly called Xu Qi over and whispered into his ears.
"Wang Chong, are you sure that you want to do this?"
Hearing Wang Chong's words, Xu Qi gasped in shock. His face paled significantly.
"There's no other way. We won't be able to hold them for long. We don't have any other choice. This is the only way. Otherwise, when the Goguryeons arrive to reinforce us, we won't stand a chance anymore. "
Wang Chong said.
In the end, Xu Qi didn't say anything. Instead, he led his men away.
The mountain winds howled, and in the darkness, saber glints and sparks flew everywhere. There was more than one Halo of Thorns lit up among the Goguryeon warriors.
Even though there were some among the Imperial Army guards and instructors, the intensity of the Halo of Thorns couldn't be compared to the Goguryeon warriors. At this point in the battle, not a single one of the Imperial Army guards and instructors around Wang Chong was unharmed.
"We won't be able to hold on for much longer. In at most fifteen minutes, this fortress will collapse! We have to find a way to resolve this situation as soon as possible! "
Even though his cultivation was gone, Wang Chong's eye of discernment was still there. Wang Chong knew that if he didn't do anything soon, everyone here would die.
His gaze swiftly swept across the battlefield, and soon, Wang Chong's eyes fell on the leader of the Goguryeon warriors who had assaulted him previously.
In the darkness of the night, the Halo of Thorns around him was extremely eye-catching. Three pitch-black Goguryeon warriors darted about unpredictably, and under the augmentation of the halo, he looked like a human-shaped storm.
Just him alone was enough to suppress the three Imperial Army instructors and guards.
Of the entire battlefield, he possessed the greatest destructive power!
"Gao Feng, lead a team and attack his left shoulder and ribs according to the formation!"
Wang Chong suddenly raised a finger and pointed at the Goguryeon warrior on the battlefield.
"Understood!"
A resounding command sounded from behind.
"Nie Yan, lead a team and attack his right flank according to the formation. Aim for his crotch and legs!"
Wang Chong continued.
"Understood!"
A seventeen-year-old young man with a determined gaze replied with tacit understanding.
"Everyone, listen to my command!"
Wang Chong raised his hand and stared fixedly at the other side.
'Three Saber Stream' was one of the strongest saber martial arts of the Goguryeons. Together with another secret art, 'Duo Saber Stream', it was known as the two great martial arts of the Goguryeon Empire. It was the most widely practiced secret art among the Goguryeon warriors.
Most people would be more proficient in using their right hand than their left. However, those who practiced 'Duo Saber Stream' and 'Three Saber Stream' would have their left and right hands equally powerful. As such, they would often feel as though they were fighting against two or even three people simultaneously.
As such, regardless of whether it was the 'Duo Saber Stream' or 'Three Saber Stream', they were extremely powerful.
However, even though these secret arts were powerful, they weren't flawless.
Wang Chong stared fixedly at the other side, not moving in the slightest.
One second, two seconds, three seconds … Time ticked by, but Wang Chong still didn't give the order. Finally, just when the three Imperial Army guards and instructors were about to reach their limits, the leader of the Goguryeon warriors began to wield his saber and charge forward. At that moment, Wang Chong finally gave the order.
"Do it!"
Wang Chong's right hand swung down viciously.
Boom!
Without any hesitation, Gao Feng and the other recruits led by Nie Yan leaped forward, and as though eagles hunting down rabbits, they struck the leader of the Goguryeon warriors.
Hong long, the face of the Goguryeon warrior warped in horror. In a flash of light, the green Halo of Thorns abruptly morphed into a green tornado and shot forward, blocking the attacks of the Goguryeon warriors.
Gao Feng, Nie Yan, and the others' weapons struck the green Halo of Thorns, but the only sound they produced was a metallic clash. It was as though the Halo of Thorns was a layer of resilient steel.
'Halo of Blades', one of the halos of the True Martial realm!
It was also one of the most mysterious powers in the Central Plains. Those who possessed the Halo of Blades would have their Origin Energy burst forth, granting them the incomparably sharp properties of swords.
Klang klang klang!
The weapons in the hands of the Goguryeon warriors only lasted for a moment before they were sliced into two by the Halo of Thorns.
In an instant, the faces of the group paled.
"Go to hell!"
A tyrannical voice in Goguryeon echoed in the air.
"Now's the time!"
Just as the leader of the Goguryeon warriors was about to launch a counterattack, Wang Chong, who was kneeling on the ground, leaped forward with a cold expression.
Single Character Consecutive Slash!
In an instant, Wang Chong appeared before the leader of the Goguryeon warriors. Making use of the moment when he was distracted, Wang Chong's WuZi Steel Sword swiftly pierced toward the gap between the three sabers of the Goguryeon warrior.
Chi!
A crimson gleam flashed, and the sword pierced deep into the body of the leader of the Goguryeon warriors. Then, with a vicious tug!
"How is this possible?"
