Six green-robed children wearing small hats and carrying tea were the first to make a move. With a pounce, they appeared in front of Ye Xiaotian, six crescent-shaped short blades in their hands, ready to strike.
At the same time, an old servant with drooping eyelids, who was always leaning against a pillar in the hall in a half-awake state, also pounced forward like a ghost and formed a second line of defense in front of Ye Xiaotian.
The six children in the first line of defense were actually death warriors personally trained by Hua Yunfei. They were all youths from the mountains, valiant and unafraid of death. They were originally loyal to the Venerable and the Chieftain, and after repeated brainwashing by Hua Yunfei, they had already formed the highest belief in life: everything was for Ye Xiaotian.
As long as they still had a breath left in them, they would not allow anyone to harm Ye Xiaotian, unless they stepped over their corpses.
However, how could the two experts of Mount Longhu be compared to these youths who had only cultivated martial arts for a few years? When they saw the youths' imposing manner, they knew that their martial arts might be slightly inferior, but unless they could kill all of them, they would not be able to charge past them.
Seeing Ye Xiaotian's betrayal, the two of them were both shocked and furious. They immediately roared like tigers. The eldest brother soared into the sky, while the second brother reached out with his iron palm and used the Push Formula on his back to increase his speed. The eldest brother's figure abruptly grew taller, reaching a height of thirty feet.
Fortunately, the hall was large and spacious enough to allow him to move so quickly. The eldest of Mount Longhu's jumps almost touched Caojing Chengchen, who was on the roof of the hall. With a loud roar, he leapt down from the sky, passing over the six death warriors and grabbing at Ye Xiaotian.
At the same time, the second brother of Mount Longhu flipped his sleeves, and like two dancing dragons, he enveloped the six youths. However, to his astonishment, only two of the six youths raised their scimitars to meet the attack. The other four youths were clearly under his iron sleeve attack, but they ignored it and turned to attack the eldest brother of Mount Longhu.
The so-called death warriors were indeed death warriors. They had been trained to not care about their own lives.
"Rip!"
When the chieftains heard this, they felt as if an iron claw had scratched the bottom of a pot, making a teeth-aching sound. The half-asleep old servant opened his eyes wide like a tiger and stretched out his five fingers to meet the iron palm of the leader of Mount Longhu.
This strike actually produced a metallic sound. Longhu Mountain's Eldest Brother's iron palms were unstoppable, yet he was actually forced to take three steps back. As for the old servant, his footing was unsteady, and he took three steps back.
Other than Ye Xiaotian, no one else present recognized this old servant's true identity. He was Wang Ning, who had been forced by Ye Xiaotian to give up his official post and hang up his seal in an attempt to escape. He was the spy of the Imperial Secret Service, Wang Ning, Thousand Households Wang.
Thousand Households Wang's Eagle Claws were unstoppable, but they were no match for Longhu Mountain's secret technique. However, Longhu Mountain's boss had finally met his match. The two of them were evenly matched. Longhu Mountain's boss retreated three steps, barely entering the attack range of the four suicidal youths.
Four scimitars swept through the air. For close combat, the power of these weapons did not lie in stabbing or attacking, but in cutting. The crescent blades slashed down in an arc, cutting through gold and jade, and cutting through iron as if it were mud.
Longhu Mountain's boss's invulnerability was due to his iron palms and arms. He had not yet reached the full-body realm. However, he was accumulating energy. Logically speaking, if it were a sword or a spear thrust, he would be able to withstand a sudden attack. However, he could not withstand the slashing of the scimitars, and its damage was continuous.
The first slash of the scimitars only managed to cut through his clothes and did not harm his flesh. However, as the scimitars passed through, his Body Hardening Technique was unable to withstand the continuous attack. With a muffled grunt, the blade had already pierced through his bones. Just one slash was enough to seriously injure him. This was something he had never experienced in his entire life.
However, Longhu Mountain's Second Brother's attack had already arrived. The youngsters' martial arts were far inferior to theirs. The two youngsters who attacked Longhu Mountain's Second Brother were swept away by Longhu Mountain's Second Brother's large sleeve. Although they managed to cut a few holes on his iron sleeve, they were still sent flying.
Longhu Mountain's second brother immediately rushed in, while the four youths were attacking Longhu Mountain's boss. They did not defend against him at all. The four of them had seriously injured Longhu Mountain's first brother, but they were also heavily struck by Longhu Mountain's second brother's iron sleeves and iron palms. They spat out blood and fell down.
In just one round, they were already drenched in blood. This was a battle between death warriors, and it was also the way of battle on the battlefield. It was far from the martial arts of the pugilistic world.
However, Longhu Mountain's two brothers reacted quickly. After sending the four death warriors flying, Longhu Mountain's second brother immediately rushed towards Wang Ning. Meanwhile, the injured Longhu Mountain's eldest brother took advantage of the opportunity to leap forward to divert the force of the attack. His ten fingers spread out and once again clasped towards Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian was the key. As long as they had him in their hands, they could control the outcome of the battle at any time.
Longhu Mountain's second brother's hands were just about to touch the corner of Ye Xiaotian's clothes when a foot flew out from the side. With a 'pu' sound, it struck his ribs. Longhu Mountain's second brother let out a muffled groan and fell down.
He saw Yu Junting's slender, powerful, and well-toned long leg still in the air. It was as straight as a spear.
Yu Junting's willowy eyebrows furrowed and her phoenix eyes widened. She was just short of arrogantly saying, "You dare hit my man? Hmph! "
Longhu Mountain's second brother was sent flying into a thick pillar in the hall. He slid to the ground and barely managed to stand up. Only then did he feel a sharp pain in his ribs. He looked down and saw that there was a large bloody hole in his ribs. Blood was gushing out and staining his heavy clothes.
Longhu Mountain's second brother's eyes widened in shock. Only then did he realize that Yu Junting was slowly withdrawing her leg. The tips of her boots were dark red. Due to the violent impact, the surface of her boots had split open, revealing a faint black iron tip. It turned out that her boots were custom-made iron boots.
Wen Ao stood to the side with his hands clasped behind his back. His martial arts were slightly weaker than his disciple's. Moreover, she was in a hurry to save his man. Of course, he wouldn't snatch this kind of opportunity. However, he was also very particular about his position. If someone or a hidden weapon were to be shot out from the crowd, he would be able to jump out at the first moment to save Ye Xiaotian.
All these changes happened in the blink of an eye. Ever since Ye Xiaotian took eight steps to escape from the Longhu Mountain's control, he never stopped. He walked straight towards Tian Miaowen. Calm, unhurried, impetuous … it was an indescribable pretentiousness.
Tian Miaowen gracefully stood up and saluted him, "Chieftain!"
Ye Xiaotian walked over and sat on the seat that Tian Miaowen had just vacated. Tian Miaowen took a step back and stood beside him. Ye Xiaotian pointed his halberd finger at the crowd like a sword and shouted, "Capture them!"
The situation suddenly changed. One of the two experts of Mount Longhu had no experience in fighting with death warriors, and the other had neglected the lovely and beautiful young woman, Yu Junting. As a result, both of them were injured due to their carelessness. Although Tian Xiufeng was shocked by this sudden change, she still quickly made the most correct response. She shouted sternly, "Take the hostage!"
Charge out? What a joke. Just how capable would they have to be to charge out of the heavily guarded Crouching Ox Ridge?
She did not understand why Ye Xiao 'an had betrayed them, but it did not affect her most accurate judgment. The only thing they could do right now was capture the hostage! There were so many chieftains present, and they were all guests of Crouching Ox Ridge. If they captured any one of them, the Crouching Ox Ridge would not just watch them die. That would give them the ability to escape.
The two elders of Longhu Mountain were already injured, and they were under the watch of a few injured but even more persevering than wolves. There were also the two masters, Wang Ning and Wen Ao, so they were no longer of any use. However, Tian Xiufeng still had subordinates in the crowd.
With Tian Xiufeng's order, these subordinates immediately moved. They all drew their blades and lunged at the nearby chieftains. However, before they could succeed, arrows whistled out from the side, actually finding their positions with great precision in such a chaotic scene. Caught off-guard, the masters of Bozhou were all struck in their vitals. They basically could not put up any resistance at all, killed on the spot.
Hua Yunfei nocked an arrow and appeared high up in a corner of the hall. He sneered, "Tian Xiufeng, don't move recklessly if you don't want to die!"
At the same time, many archers appeared. They were all young, and they were also sacrificial soldiers, but they were all personally trained by Hua Yunfei. They specialized in archery.
Hua Yunfei drew his bow and nocked an arrow. The arrow was aimed at Tian Xiufeng. Tian Xiufeng saw that she was being targeted by a sharp arrow and felt a chill in her heart. She did not dare to make another move. The prepared death warriors immediately pounced over and disarmed her subordinates.
This hesitation only lasted for a split second, but the surrounding chieftains had already dodged quickly. With that, their target became even more obvious. They could not move recklessly where the arrow was aimed.
When Tian Xiufeng saw this, she suddenly sucked in a deep breath. She pointed at Ye Xiaotian who sat on the seat of honour and called out, "He's not Ye Xiaotian. He's Ye Xiaotian's twin brother, Ye Xiao 'an!"
With that, the entire hall was shocked.
Tian Xiufeng was no longer certain whether this person was Ye Xiaotian or Ye Xiao 'an. However, this was not important. This was not the time for her to investigate whether Ye Xiao 'an was Ye Xiao' an or not. Even if he really was Ye Xiaotian, it did not matter. Tian Xiufeng, who had never been toyed with before, had already flown into a rage out of humiliation. What she wanted to do was disrupt the morale of the Crouching Ox Ridge. Even if Ye Xiaotian was real, she wanted to turn him into a fake to vent her hatred.
Tian Xiufeng was certain that once she called out, they would not dare to shoot her, as that would be equivalent to proving her words before so many chieftains.
Tian Xiufeng said loudly, "I killed Ye Xiaotian a long time ago! I wanted to use Ye Xiao 'an to pretend to be Ye Xiaotian and control the Crouching Ox Ridge! However, I never thought that Tian Miaowen would be one step ahead of me. She seduced Ye Xiao 'an and tricked this lecher into falling into her hands. She didn't even know … that … "
Although Tian Miaowen knew that she was talking nonsense, she still blushed when she was accused of seducing her eldest uncle. However, Tian Xiufeng was tongue-tied when she was halfway through her sentence. Because … …
Another four people walked into the hall. One was the greatest master of body techniques in Tongren, Yu Hailong. The other was the greatest master of the younger generation in Tongren, Gorgelon. The other was an old man in his fifties. Very few people present could tell that he was the reclusive second master of the Yu family. The one protected in the middle by these three people was none other than Ye Xiaotian!
Ye Xiaotian was Ye Xiao 'an?
Ye Xiao 'an was Ye Xiaotian?
When this pair of twins appeared together, this problem was no longer a problem!
