The earth rumbled as Teng Qingshan wielded the Splitting Mountain Axe like a demonic god. Once again, he hacked at the Blind Swordmaster.
"Hmph." The Blind Swordmaster's heart was filled with anger.
He was an Emptiness Realm Culmination Expert. How could he be forced into such a corner?
"Jing Yi's strength … should be more than eighty percent of the Power of the Heavens and Earth. Moreover, his close-combat body art is too fast. I'm afraid that even if I didn't pay attention to Gu Yong, my close-combat speed would only be on par with his. "The Blind Swordmaster was both shocked and angry.
In a real battle, even the Emptiness Realm Culmination Expert could only display ninety percent of the Power of the Heavens and Earth. The remaining ten percent would be consumed internally.
The Blind Swordmaster could perfectly display one hundred percent of his strength without any internal consumption. Among the Emptiness Realm Experts in the Land of the Nine Prefectures, he was definitely one of the most powerful figures. However, today, he was holding Gu Yong's hand and protecting him. Therefore, he could only fight evenly with Teng Qingshan.
In fact, he was even at a slight disadvantage.
"Chi!"
"Chi!"
The beams of black light and the shadows of Teng Qingshan's axe were annihilated again and again. The ferocious attacks caused the earth to tremble. It was as if two huge demonic beasts were fighting here. The area of several hundred Zhang below the eastern city wall was a mess. Smoke and dust filled the air. The soldiers of Qing Hu Island also avoided this area.
It should be known that many soldiers had died because of the two Emptiness Realm Experts' attacks.
*****
On the city wall, Zhuge Yuan-hong held his long sword and defended an area of ten Zhang. Any soldier of Qing Hu Island who dashed into this area of ten Zhang would be killed by Zhuge Yuan-hong with one strike. However, the soldiers in the other areas were not as carefree as Zhuge Yuan-hong. This time, Qing Hu Island's army consisted of twenty thousand Silver Dragon Soldiers.
As for the ordinary soldiers, there were more than four hundred thousand soldiers.
Each of the three armies had about one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers. In terms of numbers, the Gui Yuan Sect's army was far more than the Gui Yuan Sect's army.
"I didn't expect Qingshan to be able to fight against the Blind Swordmaster head-on." As Zhuge Yuan-hong fought, he saw the terrifying scene of the two Emptiness Realm Experts fighting below. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed as he thought to himself, "Qingshan, he is only 22 years old … .How can he improve so quickly?"
"Fortunately, Qingshan stalled the Blind Swordmaster. This way, the Gui Yuan Sect would be able to have a fair fight with the army of Qing Hu Island." Zhuge Yuan-hong's sword was merciless as he tossed the corpses to the ground.
Yes, fair!
If Teng Qingshan hadn't stopped the Blind Swordmaster, the Blind Swordmaster would have easily killed the Sovereign and the Law Enforcing Elders of the Gui Yuan Sect. If that happened, all the higher-ups of the Gui Yuan Sect would have died. Of course, the morale of the soldiers would plummet. The Blind Swordmaster then smashed open the city gate with his rod. The army then charged into the city easily.
Therefore, the army with Emptiness Realm Experts had an absolute advantage. It was unfair to the other side.
But now …
The Gui Yuan Sect could have a fair fight with Qing Hu Island!
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Qinghu's body was covered in blood. He alone guarded the area of three Zhang. The silver spear in his hand transformed into a series of afterimages. Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! The spear pierced through the throats and heads. The corpses were tossed to the ground with ease. Every move was the Plucking Chestnut from the 《Five Techniques of the Ardent Flame》.
"Brothers, kill him." The army of Qing Hu Island had obviously noticed Qinghu. Immediately, five Silver Dragon Soldiers dashed up on ladders.
"Haha, die!"
Qinghu laughed arrogantly. For a moment, the silver spear transformed into a series of afterimages. The afterimages were as fast as gunpowder being ignited. In the blink of an eye, the masks of the five Silver Dragon Soldiers were pierced. However, the soldiers' blades and spears still struck Qinghu's body. Qinghu waved his spear, and the five corpses fell to the ground.
This move was the Prairie Fire of the 《Five Techniques of the Ardent Flame》.
During the battle in the Great Yan Mountain, Teng Qingshan was chased by Qing Hu Island. Qinghu hated himself for not being strong enough. After returning to the Gui Yuan Sect, Qinghu studied the 《Five Techniques of the Ardent Flame》 that Teng Qingshan taught him. In three years, Qinghu mastered the 《Five Techniques of the Ardent Flame》 and became one of the top experts in the Black Armoured Corps.
After that, Zhuge Yuan-hong gave Qinghu a drop of the Elixir of the North Sea, which allowed Qinghu to reach the peak of the postliminary realm.
With the help of the 《Vigor of the Reckless Bull》 and the Scarlet Fruit Wine, Qinghu's name spread far and wide in the past three years. He was even listed in the 《Earthly Ranking》.
"Young Sovereign." Qinghu's facial expression suddenly changed.
Not far away, Zhuge Yun was slashed by a saber, creating a large wound. Although Zhuge Yun killed the Qing Hu Island soldier with lightning speed, it was obvious that Zhuge Yun would die if this continued. Qinghu immediately swept his long spear, helping Zhuge Yun block the enemy.
"How many of you come here?" Qinghu hastily shouted, asking the others to take the place of Zhuge Yun.
"Qinghu, my inner strength is almost depleted." Zhuge Yun's facial expression turned ugly. "I'm afraid the other martial brothers are the same."
"Inner strength?" Qinghu's facial expression also changed.
He had drunk the Scarlet Fruit Wine, and with his great strength, he had the strength of ten thousand Jin. Even if he didn't use his inner strength, he could still continue fighting. However — — the other soldiers couldn't. Not many people in the Gui Yuan Sect had drunk the Scarlet Fruit Wine. Since everyone's inner strength was depleted, their fighting power would naturally decrease.
"Puchi!" "Puchi!"
Qinghu's gaze swept across the battlefield. In the beginning, the many brothers of the Gui Yuan Sect relied on their abundant inner strength and cooperated with each other, killing the enemies one by one. However, as time passed, more and more Gui Yuan Sect men died. Only the experts at the peak of the postliminary realm could last longer.
"Old Ye." Qinghu couldn't help but feel pain in his heart when he saw his brothers die.
"Kill!"
"Kill!" Another loud battle cry sounded. Soldiers wearing black heavy armor with dragon patterns could be seen rushing up from the stairs of the city wall.
"This is — —" Qinghu, Zhuge Yun, and the others were shocked.
This group of soldiers wearing black heavy armor with dragon patterns moved nimbly and cooperated with each other. They easily killed the enemies one by one and forced them to retreat. Even the Silver Dragon Soldiers were easily killed by these soldiers with dragon patterns. They were not on the same level!
"How could our Gui Yuan Sect have such a powerful army?" Zhuge Yun was shocked.
"Yeah." Qinghu was also stunned.
They could see that every one of these soldiers had the strength of the peak of the postliminary realm. They were all First Rated Warriors! In the whole of Yangzhou, only Qing Hu Island's Golden Scale Guards were an army completely made up of First Rated Warriors. The Golden Scale Guards were an elite army that was much stronger than the Silver Dragon Soldiers. In normal battles, Qing Hu Island would only need to send a few hundred Golden Scale Guards to achieve great results.
However — —
Now, the Gui Yuan Sect also had an army completely made up of First Rated Warriors. Moreover, the number of First Rated Warriors far surpassed that of Qing Hu Island! Originally, there were only one to two hundred First Rated Warriors on the eastern city wall. But now, there were two thousand First Rated Warriors wearing heavy armor!
Massacre!
It was a complete massacre! Even the Silver Dragon Soldiers were easily killed, let alone the ordinary soldiers of Qing Hu Island. For a moment, they completely collapsed.
Actually, not only did the eastern city wall have two thousand First Rated Warriors, but even the northern and western city walls had two thousand First Rated Warriors. This was the secret army of the Gui Yuan Sect, the strongest army — — six thousand Long Gang Guards!
"Without relying on Emptiness Realm Experts, it would be impossible for Qing Hu Island to destroy the Gui Yuan Sect." When Zhuge Yuan-hong saw that the Long Gang Guards had immediately changed the situation of the battle, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Actually, ever since the battle at the Great Yan Mountain, when they received the two jars of the Elixir of the North Sea from Teng Qingshan, the Gui Yuan Sect had begun to select some youths with extremely high comprehension abilities in the art of the North Sea and let them focus on the art of the spear and the art of the blade. They didn't need to spend time on the cultivation of their inner strength, so they could focus on the art of the blade and the art of the spear.
This group of youths had exceptional saber techniques and spear techniques. Just last night … after learning of the danger, Zhuge Yuanhong had ordered all six thousand of them to consume the Elixir of the North Sea, immediately creating six thousand First Rate warriors.
The combination of the inner strength of the peak of the Postliminary Realm, the painstakingly studied art of the spear and the art of the blade, and the four years of training.
The appearance of the Long Gang Guards was shocking.
"Now, it's all up to Qingshan." Zhuge Yuan-hong looked down and said, "If Qingshan loses and can't stop the Blind Swordmaster, it'll be useless even if we win."
In the end, it all depended on the two Emptiness Realm Experts.
*****
Below the city wall, the battle between Teng Qingshan and the Blind Swordmaster caused a burst of the Power of the Heavens and the Earth, causing a great number of soldiers to suffer.
"This Jing Yi is too despicable." The Blind Swordmaster's heart was burning with anger. He said with the use of the Sound Transmission Technique, "Jing Yi, if you have the ability, let's fight. Don't always sneak attack Gu Yong. Sneak attacking a junior is nothing."
"Hmph, sneak attack? You gave the order to attack the city and destroy the Gui Yuan Sect. Can't I just kill one person of Qing Hu Island? " Teng Qingshan was extremely crazy. His figure strangely approached the Blind Swordmaster. It was difficult for the Blind Swordmaster to distance himself from Teng Qingshan. The Blind Swordmaster held his breath as he continuously attacked with his axe.
Disadvantaged!
That's right. Even if the Blind Swordmaster didn't want to admit it, the truth was that he was disadvantaged. He had to protect Gu Yong with one hand, and his movements were restricted because he was protecting Gu Yong. Therefore, he could only exert eighty percent of his strength.
The Blind Swordmaster was furious!
You, Jing Yi, have an unfair advantage!
"Gu Yong, go to the side." The Blind Swordmaster pushed forcefully, and a gust of the Power of the Heavens and the Earth enveloped Gu Yong. Gu Yong streaked across the sky like a beam of light.
"Jing Yi, die!"
The Blind Swordmaster, who finally had his hands free, roared angrily. As he spoke, the thin iron rod in his hand instantly transformed into streaks of black light and stabbed towards Teng Qingshan. The black light was so numerous and so fast that Teng Qingshan couldn't dodge it at all.
"Haha, old thing, are you crazy? Can't you hold it in anymore? " Teng Qingshan laughed loudly as he brandished the Splitting Mountain Axe in his hand. The surface of the Splitting Mountain Axe was like a small shield. It was much easier to defend than using a sword or a saber. The 《Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms》 wasn't just about attacking.
"Whew ~ ~ Whew ~ ~"
As the Splitting Mountain Axe was brandished, layers of axe shadows surrounded Teng Qingshan, shielding Teng Qingshan. For a moment, Teng Qingshan seemed to have transformed into an egg.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! " … …
The streaks of black light were all blocked by the Splitting Mountain Axe. None of them injured Teng Qingshan. "How is this possible? How can his defensive technique be so exquisite …" The Blind Swordmaster was completely stunned.
"Whoosh!"
Teng Qingshan, who had transformed into an egg, twisted his body and transformed into a beam of light as he dashed towards Gu Yong.
"How despicable." The Blind Swordmaster dashed out almost at the same time.
"Despicable? Old thing, I'll show you how despicable I am. "As Teng Qingshan's beam of light was slightly ahead of the Blind Swordmaster, he was one or two Zhang ahead.
The two of them were dashing towards Gu Yong.
