"Yes!"
At Hong Yi's command, the three hundred soldiers drew their bows and nocked their arrows. They marched in an orderly manner towards Lü Mei, who was hundreds of steps away.
Clang!
Chi Zhuiyang also nocked his bow and aimed at Lü Mei's eyes. With his superb archery skills, the Nine Sky Snake Arrows, and the power of Penetrating Rainbow, as long as Lü Mei moved, he would immediately be swept by a rain of arrows from all directions.
"Take me down? Humph! "
Lü Mei, the Second Island Master of the Giant Whale Island, stood at the entrance of the Serpent Gorge, facing Hong Yi's Green Battalion alone. There were several top-notch Martial Masters, one Xiantian Martial Master, a dozen Martial Warriors, a Golden Spider, and two ferocious Lion Kings armed from tooth to tail. He only sneered.
Facing such a powerful force, Lü Mei didn't seem to be afraid at all. He was calm as usual. No one knew what he was up to.
"Go!"
Lü Mei waited until Hong Yi's troops were six hundred steps away from him. Suddenly, he waved his hand.
A large group of ghostly shadows suddenly appeared from the other side of the gorge. They were all soldiers wearing leather armor and wielding swords and shields. These soldiers all had fierce faces, strong bodies, dark skin, and white teeth. They gave off the aura of wild beastmen.
There were more than four to five hundred soldiers in this neat and tidy group.
These people seemed to be extremely capable Martial Disciples, some even Martial Warriors. Some of them were even Martial Warriors. Compared to the Green Camp soldiers under Hong Yi, their quality was at least a level higher.
The moment these people appeared, Lü Mei retreated. He tapped his feet on the ground and shrank back. His body twisted like a snake and instantly flashed into the group of sword-and-shield soldiers. The huge shield completely covered his body.
"This person's martial arts are really unfathomable! I think he has already reached the realm where his spirit and body are one! "Chi Zhuiyang put down his bow and arrow. Although Lü Mei was within his shooting range … He still didn't shoot the Nine Sky Snake Arrows. This was because he couldn't lock onto Lü Mei's position when he used his movement technique!
"After the spirit and body become one, the cicada senses the autumn wind before it moves! As soon as my arrow moves, he can keenly sense where I'm going to hit him! "
"Originally, I wanted to rely on the twenty Iron Demon Archers and a thousand venomous snakes to annihilate all of you, but I didn't expect your martial arts to be so good, and you even have the Golden Spider to help you. But this is the end! "
Green Eyebrow's gloomy voice came from the sword and shield soldier. These soldiers were all holding wooden shields that were half the height of a person. They were covered with iron and were half a foot thick. Even the strongest arrow would not be able to pierce through them.
Their sabers were all Blades of Meng. They were not as high-quality as the Xuangang, but they were still made of steel. They looked cold and shiny and could easily split a man in half.
Just as Hong Yi was speaking, these people pushed forward layer by layer, like an army of ants, squeezing forward at lightning speed.
Six hundred steps, five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps …
In the entire Serpent Valley, the number of these people was even greater than that of Hong Yi's soldiers. Judging from the quality of this group of people, as long as they charged forward, they would be like tigers in a flock of sheep. They would kill all of Hong Yi's soldiers as easily as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood!
These ferocious indigenous soldiers had obviously been training for many years, robbing and killing like wild beasts. Now that they were fast approaching, even Hong Yi felt a suffocating and ferocious aura rushing towards him.
"A group of pirates, but they are even more ferocious than a regular army!"
"Get into formation, shoot! Draw your sabers! Get ready to fight! " The enemies were advancing so fast that Hong Yi had no time to think. He immediately gave the order. When the enemies were a hundred steps away, he gave the order, and the arrows flew towards the pirates like locusts.
However, most of these locust-like arrows were blocked by the shields. Only the arrows of Hong Yi and a few other archery experts shot through the gaps between the shields, penetrating the leather armor of these pirates and killing more than ten of them.
However, this did not stop the advance of this group of soldiers.
After a round of arrow rain, the three hundred soldiers all threw away their bows and pulled out their sabers. They looked coldly at the pirates who were pressing forward with their shields.
Hong Yi quickly felt the danger of the confrontation between the two teams and everyone's mentality.
He cultivated the soul and his thoughts were sharp. In an instant, he sensed that the blood of everyone present was boiling. Their thoughts were focused and incomparably condensed. A tangible murderous aura condensed over the entire Serpent Gorge. Even the wind seemed to freeze!
"Although the Green Battalion soldiers are not considered good, under such a confrontation and advance, they are still so calm, pulling out their sabers and waiting in formation. This is enough for them to be called a regular army. If it was an ordinary bandit, I'm afraid their legs would have turned to jelly in the face of such a formation! Some turned around, some ran away! "
"Pfft!"
Just as the two teams of soldiers were about to collide and engage in a fierce battle, suddenly, the Golden Spider beside Mu The Younger spat out a breath. A large silver spider web appeared in the sky and came crashing down, instantly wrapping around the twenty soldiers at the front.
The extremely sticky spider web stopped them in their tracks. The charging pirates immediately felt their footsteps waver, and their momentum slowed.
"Kill!"
Taking advantage of this moment, Hong Yi raised the Shark-slaying Sword again. He took the lead, surrounded by experts to protect him, and charged forward!
This was his first time fighting in a real battlefield. Previously, when he was suppressing the bandits in Wu Yuansheng, the disparity in strength was too great. He could only watch from the back and fight with Zhao Feirong using Taoist techniques. This time, however, he was fighting with his bare hands.
The two teams of soldiers collided, and the first to come into contact was Shen Tiezhu's big metal rod!
Rumble!
Shen Tiezhu's huge metal rod slammed hard into a shield, and the entire shield was immediately shattered. The shield-wielding pirates behind were like kites with broken strings, and were sent flying high into the air. Even the pirates behind them were hit by the huge force and spat out blood. In an instant, their formation was completely routed.
Shen Tiezhu was born with extraordinary strength. He had cultivated the Ox Demon's Strength, the Tiger Demon's Bone Fist, and had used many spiritual herbs to refine his body. He had even taken the soup of the Yuan Female Pearl. Now, he had extraordinary strength! Using a metal rod, he was like the Ape Demon Vajra.
In particular, he wore the Silver Shark Armor, which was impervious to swords and spears, and added to his bravery.
The heavy rod and heavy hammer were the best weapons to break through the large shields. In this battle, Shen Tiezhu could be said to have exerted all his strength to the best.
"Good!" Seeing Shen Tiezhu's bravery, Hong Yi secretly cheered. His body flashed, and with the light movement technique "Butterfly Scattering Powder", he rushed into the gap and waved the Shark Cutter in his hand. Dang, dang, dang! Puchi! Puchi! Three steel blades were broken, and the leather armor of the three people was directly cut open. The blades were as sharp as bones, and blood sprayed wildly. Hong Yi's body was instantly covered in blood.
At this time, the sharpness of the Shark Cutter was fully displayed.
Originally, the quality of the leather armor on these pirates was very good. Even a sharp steel long blade would find it difficult to cut through it. However, under the blade of the Shark Cutter, it was no different from paper.
Saber light flashed, and at least five sabers went straight for Hong Yi's body.
When Hong Yi killed three people in an instant, he was naturally targeted by others. In the chaos of the army, even an expert would not be able to guard against something!
However, just as the five sabers got close to Hong Yi's body, they were all cut off by a sharp rebar blade. Then, the rebar blade moved like lightning and cut the throats of the five pirates. Blood splattered everywhere! The stream was dyed red.
It was Chi Zhuiyang, who was protecting Hong Yi, who made a move.
At the same time, the other few pirates who rushed forward were also cut down by the long sabers of the five elders of the White Cloud.
What was the role of a bodyguard? What was the role of an expert bodyguard? At this time, they were completely displayed. Hong Yi rushed in the middle and only cared about slashing. At the side, there were experts to block the fatal sabers and spears, protecting the commander's safety. When necessary, they would also use their bodies to block. This was the role of a bodyguard.
With expert bodyguards, a powerful commander would naturally be like a fish in water when he charged into the enemy's formation.
"How carefree!"
At the moment of close combat, Hong Yi was still a little nervous. However, after killing the three pirates with the Shark Cutter, he was left with a sense of satisfaction.
As for the battle between his Green Battalion soldiers and the pirates, he couldn't care less. When two armies confronted each other, it was a head-on battle. These Green Battalion soldiers indeed had to go through the baptism of blood in order to truly grow into elites.
Although the pirates were tyrannical, Hong Yi was still confident that he could win this head-on battle.
"Bull Demon Butts Horns! Tiger Demon Descends the Mountain! " Hong Yi stabbed out with his sword, piercing through the throat of a pirate. Following that, he turned his sword around and slashed out with his saber, cutting open another pirate's chest. At the same time, he did not forget to kick out with his leg. The immense force of his kick sent a shield and the pirate flying.
Hong Yi's current strength was no less than Shen Tiezhu's. His flexibility and mastery of fist techniques were above Shen Tiezhu's. His swordsmanship was fierce and strange. His speed of killing was actually the fastest. After a few breaths of close combat, more than ten elite pirates had died by his hands!
Completely immersed in the battle, Hong Yi suddenly felt that he had become very calm, but also very fanatical. All the martial arts he had learned in his life — Bull Demon's Fist of Great Strength, Tiger Demon's Fist, Little Dipper Hand, Butterfly Dance Fist, Heavenly Wrapping Hand, Dragon Fish's Nine Transformations, Ape Demon's Staff, and dozens of other martial arts — were all at his fingertips. They were completely melded into one, smelted and refined in the midst of battle. Gradually, he became proficient in them and had the tendency to form a school of his own.
"No wonder, no wonder the battlefield is the birthplace of martial arts! This kind of slaughter can indeed raise one's cultivation. All of one's martial arts are refined in the midst of slaughter. After a hundred or a thousand rounds of slaughter, one would surely be able to fuse all of his fist techniques together. Just like Hong Xuanji, he would be able to form his own style and step into the Martial Saint realm!
Hong Yi suddenly had a kind of enlightenment.
His mind was extremely clear.
While fighting, Hong Yi did not forget to split his thoughts to grasp the situation of the entire battlefield. Although their strength and quality were much worse than the pirates', after the close combat, his side actually gained the upper hand!
Chi Zhuiyang, Shen Tiezhu, Mu The Younger, the Five Elders of the White Cloud, the Three Black Harrier Brothers, the Eight Silver Moon Guards, the Golden Spider, and the Lion King — this group of elites — gathered together and condensed into a ball, like the tip of a long spear, piercing through and breaking through!
This was the power of elites, and it was also the time-tested tactic of piercing through in the army.
In the long Valley of Snakes, the close combat and the piercing of elites determined the outcome.
Not to mention in the valley, even on the battlefield, a ferocious general with a group of experts beside him would be able to break the army into pieces even if there was a group of old and weak soldiers following behind them.
This was because even if it was a group of old and weak soldiers following closely behind the experts, they would not think about anything else other than taking advantage of the situation and charging forward. This was too effortless and everyone would do it.
The battlefield on the plains was as such, and the battlefield in the canyon was even more so. No matter how powerful the pirates were, or how many people they had, as long as they couldn't find a way to stop Hong Yi's group of elites from penetrating and breaking through, they had to maintain their advantage until victory.
Under Hong Yi's lead, more than three hundred soldiers behind him gathered together and followed closely behind, forming a long snake formation.
The pirates in front were scattered, unable to form a formation, and their morale weakened. The soldiers of the Green Battalion gathered together, brandished their swords in an orderly manner, and shouted their battle cry. In an instant, they managed to kill and injure many of the pirates, while their own casualties were very low.
After more than ten breaths, the Green Battalion had suffered twenty to thirty casualties, while the pirates had suffered more than a hundred casualties!
"You actually have the strength of an Innate Realm expert! One, two, three, three Innate Realm experts! So many Innate Realm experts! No wonder you can pierce through! "
Just as Hong Yi was about to break the formation of the pirates, a voice came from the depths of the group of pirates. All of a sudden, a spear pierced through the void and quickly pointed at Hong Yi's head. The spear's momentum was erratic, and spots of cold light enveloped Hong Yi, Chi Zhuiyang, Shen Tiezhu, Mu The Younger, and the Five Elders of White Cloud. Everyone could feel that the spear's momentum was completely directed at them.
As the spear approached, Hong Yi suddenly felt isolated. Although there were many experts around him to protect him, he seemed to be completely isolated. Facing this spear, he could only rely on himself to dodge and block!
It was not only Hong Yi. The various experts beside him also felt the same way.
This spear!
Everyone was isolated!
Such an earth-shattering spear technique that could make ghosts and gods weep was simply an interpretation of martial arts.
The one wielding the spear was Green Eyebrows.
"Is this the power of a peerless Innate Realm expert who has become one with his spirit and body? In terms of martial arts, he is even more terrifying than Zhao Feirong! "Facing the spear's momentum, Hong Yi used all his strength and slashed at the spear's trajectory with his sword.
However, the spear's trajectory was ten times faster than his. In a flash, it suddenly hit his sword. A huge force was transmitted, and the Shark-slaying Sword instantly fell to the ground!
At the same time, the spear was like a dragon, flashing with cold light. The spear's shadow knocked the weapons of the Five Elders of White Cloud, and even Mu The Younger and Shen Tiezhu out of their hands.
"Hai!" Chi Zhuiyang used all his strength and slashed at the spear with his Dragonfish Upheaval Wave.
The spear's shadow retracted and turned into a simple, dark steel spear.
Green Eyebrow's spear and Chi Zhuiyang's saber clashed head-on without any fancy moves. Hong Yi could vaguely see Chi Zhuiyang's wrist trembling slightly.
The Green Battalion's dragon head pierced through and was finally stopped.
The pirates behind Green Eyebrow surged forward like a tide.
"Protect the commander!" Chi Zhuiyang roared. He covered Hong Yi with his body and slashed at five pirates who were charging at him.
"So you two aren't Innate Stage cultivators. You're just talented!" Green Eyebrow glanced at Hong Yi and Shen Tiezhu. He took a step forward, as if he had completely grasped the situation and was ready to capture these people alive.
"Put down your weapons and become my slaves. I'll spare your lives!"
Green Eyebrow smiled.
"You're courting death! Don't blame me! "Hong Yi shouted.
All of a sudden, a sinister wind blew, and the sunlight in the sky began to descend. Waves of heat rolled out, and with a rumble, a figure of light appeared in front of him. It was a figure of light that looked exactly like Hong Yi, its entire body glowing with flames.
This figure of light was Hong Yi's King Bao Riguang Body.
As soon as the King Bao Riguang Body appeared, the nearby pirates were immediately set on fire. In the blink of an eye, they became flaming men and screamed miserably.
Facing Green Eyebrow, Hong Yi chuckled and clawed at Green Eyebrow. Before the claw reached him, the heat waves had already curled Green Eyebrow's hair, and there was a burning smell.
"Taoist magic arts!" Green Eyebrow roared.
Hong Yi didn't expect that an Innate Stage master who had merged his soul and body could be so powerful! He was even more powerful than Zhao Feirong, who was a Great Grandmaster. He had no choice but to use Taoist magic arts to turn the situation around.
Originally, he didn't use Taoist magic arts at the beginning for three reasons. First, he wanted to train his men. Second, he was afraid that the other side might have some masters. Third, the battle of hundreds of people was full of killing intent. Although it couldn't compare to a battle of ten thousand people, it would have some impact on the spirit.
Especially after hearing Chi Zhuiyang say that Green Eyebrow was a master who had merged his soul and body, Hong Yi knew that Green Eyebrow definitely didn't know Taoist magic arts, so he decided to hone his martial arts.
He had seen Zhao Feirong's martial arts. Green Eyebrow's realm was not as good as Zhao Feirong's. Hong Yi calculated that with his current fist technique and with so many masters around him, he would definitely be able to kill Green Eyebrow.
However, his only mistake was that a Peerless Innate Stage master who had merged his soul and body was even more powerful than a Great Grandmaster!
His plan to fight a tough battle and hone his martial arts had failed. Hong Yi had no choice but to use his trump card.
Once the King's Body of Bao Ri appeared, flames flew and flashed like lightning. It was ten times more agile than his body and was especially powerful. Hong Yi didn't believe that Green Eyebrow could compete with him no matter how powerful he was.
Green Eyebrow was shocked when he saw Hong Yi use Taoist magic arts. However, he was a Peerless Innate Stage master who had merged his soul and body. He reacted quickly and pulled back his spear. He cut his hand with the spear and fresh blood flowed on it. Suddenly, he shook his hand and the fierce Yang Qi and the violent spear shadow stabbed fiercely on Hong Yi's body.
"If it were other Yin Spirits, with your blood Qi, you would definitely be able to hurt them. Unfortunately, it's me!" Hong Yi sneered again and let the spear shadow pierce his body. He only felt the blood Qi on the spear slightly stab him. He activated the Amitabha Sutra and didn't feel anything at all.
On the contrary, the entire steel body of the spear had been burned red!
