With Li Yi's order, the Tang Army on both sides of the river immediately began to attack.
On the crossbow carts, the specially made crossbow bolts that had been tempered hundreds of times roared like hurricanes as they fired at the huge dragon boats.
In the face of such powerful ballistae used to attack cities, no matter how strong the Dahe Longmen's riverboats were, they could be penetrated.
At this time, Dahe Longmen martial artists appeared on the boats.
The leader was a tough old man. He held a big saber in his hand, and the saber light was like a waterfall. He resisted the fierce arrows with his physical strength.
In the sharp sound of metal colliding, the arrows, which were as thick as a child's arm and nearly two meters long, were knocked away by the old man's saber light. They could not touch the dragon boats.
On each of the five big boats, there was a Dragon Gate expert, who was either holding a spear or a saber. All of them used their powerful cultivation to protect the dragon boats.
Although everyone's weapons were different, they were of the same origin.
This was the unique skill of the Dahe Longmen, the Hundred Refinements of the River. It focused on the idea rather than the form. It took the true meaning of the vast and endless river and the invisible river waves hitting the shore. It could be used with fists, feet, sabers, and weapons. Every cultivator created their own moves that were most suitable for them.
On the bow of the dragon boat at the front stood a middle-aged man. He was bare-handed, but his attacks were more powerful than the other Dragon Gate experts.
He separated his hands and blocked the arrows on both sides. Then, he put his palms together.
An invisible force forcibly broke the surging river in front of him.
The river water rippled, revealing iron chains in front of him.
It was set up by the Tang Army to prevent the Dahe Longmen from breaking through the encirclement against the river.
Now, the middle-aged man's palm force not only separated the river water but also broke the iron chains!
The middle-aged man separated his palms again and deflected the arrows from both sides of the boat.
The huge dragon boat, like a giant whale, continued to rush forward with a roar.
"Li Jie, don't be so arrogant!"
At this time, an angry shout suddenly came from midair.
Li Yi, the Eastern Tang Prince Muhira, held a long spear and slashed at the middle-aged man on the bow of the boat.
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed, and he punched upwards to meet Li Yi's weapon.
The two powerful auras collided in midair.
A strong bloody and murderous aura spread in all directions. The Tang Army soldiers on both sides of the river in the distance were all affected by it and trembled with fear.
This was a clash between eighth level martial arts experts. Ordinary people would be affected even if they watched from afar.
The Eighth Realm of the Martial Way was known as "Ghost Might". It was above the Army Commander's Morale and Human Slaughter Aura, and it was a step above the Evil Spirit.
Fiendish, when ferocious and ruthless, could destroy morale and killing intent.
The reason why the second son of King of Tang, Li Yi, wanted to challenge Crown Prince Li Hong's position was because, like his opponent, he had reached the eighth realm of martial arts.
With the support of the Heaven Punishing Battle Qi, the Eastern Tang royalty's fame had spread far and wide with the help of the Battle King Fist and the Square Halberd.
At this moment, Li Yi's Four-sided Hatchet was extremely ferocious and fierce, capable of splitting mountains and splitting rocks.
If no one stopped him, this blow could directly cut the huge dragon boat dozens of meters long in half!
But at this moment, there was one person on the boat who could stop him.
The current Sect Master of Dahe Longmen, Li Jie.
Li Jie's Dragon Gate Mystic Art was the inside, and the Great River Hundred Refinements House was the outside. He punched toward the sky, and his murderous aura was vast and mighty. It was like a vast river, but also like a furious dragon soaring to the sky.
The King of Eastern Tang, Li Yi's Four-sided Hatchet was so fierce that it even split open a gap in the river of murderous aura.
But in the face of an experienced opponent, his stamina was slightly insufficient.
His opponent's mighty "river" of murderous aura rolled forward. Although it was split open for a moment, it was immediately replenished and closed again.
Li Yi was forced to change his move. He blocked with his hatchet and was repelled by his opponent.
But the middle-aged man on the boat did not relax at all.
Because another experienced and ruthless long dagger-axe silently slashed towards his waist.
The middle-aged man threw a backhand punch and deflected the hatchet.
"Li Jie, speaking of which, you are also a member of the Imperial Family. Why don't you pledge loyalty to His Majesty?"
The hatchet of Eastern Tang's Old Prince Li Dong was deflected by his opponent's punch. The blade of the hatchet slashed at a strange angle and quickly continued to slash at his opponent.
His attack was ruthless, but his tone was calm, as if he was chatting. "His Majesty has shown mercy to Dahe Longmen many times because he admires you. He has always praised you as the number one person in Eastern Tang under the Nine Territories."
Li Jie stood at the bow of the boat, unmoving. He once again unfolded the iron chain blocking the road in front of him and repelled Li Dong's attack.
"His Majesty doesn't need to admire me. It is the blessing of Eastern Tang to sympathize with thousands of people."
As he spoke, he grabbed the hatchet coming from another direction. "As for the Imperial Family, what do you think of Li Zhibin of Tingshan?"
Li Jie grabbed the hatchet with one hand and pulled the owner of the hatchet toward him.
Li Yi, whose weapon was grabbed by Li Jie, tried to snatch it back. "All traitors can be killed!"
"To me, he's a lone man and a thief. I can kill him." After the leader of Dahe Longmen pushed back Li Dong with his other hand, he threw a punch at Li Yi's head.
However, a mirror-like round shield suddenly blocked in front of Li Yi.
The leader's punch shook the mirror-like shield, but he still pressed the shield and continued to hit Li Yi.
At this time, moonlight shone and slashed at the leader's neck.
The leader finally withdrew his fist and sent the moonlight flying.
At the same time, he finally moved away from the bow of the ship and avoided a dark gold spear and a hatchet.
The leader of the Mirror Moon Tower, Yan Xishi, held the Mirror-Like Shield in one hand and the Crescent Blade in the other. He saved Prince Muhira and Li Yi, then continued to attack the leader of the Dragon Gate.
Li Yi was also quite fierce. As soon as he escaped danger, he immediately attacked again with Yan Xishi.
On the other side was the leader of the House of Stuart, Li Dong, and the leader of the House of Stuart, Situ Jinsheng.
The leader of the Dragon Gate looked back and found that the leader of the Zheng family, Zheng Tianfeng, was also on his ship.
At the same time, the leader of the Abbey of Fuzhen Guan, Daoist Zhichen, flew high and stayed in the air to monitor the situation. However, most of his attention was on the leader of the Dragon Gate.
The top masters of the Eastern Tang had gathered, and their target was the first dragon ship where Li Jie was. They wanted to capture the leader first.
The masters of the Dragon Gate on the four dragon ships behind were restrained by the crossbows of the Tang Army on both sides.
If they left their ships and rushed to the first ship, the powerful crossbows on the shore could destroy all the dragon ships.
The leader of the Dragon Gate, Li Jie, was surrounded, but his eyes flashed and he did not panic.
Facing the leader of the Zheng family, Zheng Tianfeng, behind him, Li Jie threw a backhand punch to meet the mountain-shaking Mountain Pushing Palm.
When the two sides' fists and palms collided, Zheng Tianfeng suddenly showed a look of disbelief.
The two of them flew backward at the same time.
However, Zheng Tianfeng could not control himself and was sent flying by Li Jie. His hands were trembling, and his bones and muscles were about to break. After landing, he staggered a few steps and almost fell down.
The deck of the dragon ship was crushed by Zheng Tianfeng's steps.
The huge ship, which was dozens of meters long, almost collapsed.
However, the leader of the Dragon Gate took the initiative to rush forward with Zheng Tianfeng's strength, and in an instant, he was in front of Prince Muhira and Li Yi.
The enemy was too fast. Li Yi almost subconsciously blocked the enemy's fist with his halberd.
However, the evil spirit he condensed was directly shattered by the other party.
"Kingly domineering aura?" Li Yi blurted out in surprise.
The strength of the leader of the Dragon Gate in front of him was clearly at the ninth realm of martial arts, the King Realm.
Kingly domineering aura condensed and crushed down, and the killing intent and evil spirit all collapsed.
This was the spirit of the people under the command of the King, who was fearless of difficulties and dangers. With the King, he was invincible.
The person in front of him was no longer the leader of the Dragon Gate. He should be called the River Dragon King.
The halberd in Li Yi's hand was broken by the Dragon King on the spot.
The other party's fist continued to move forward. When it was about to reach Li Yi's chest, Li Yi suddenly sped up.
It turned out that the head of the House of Stuart, Situ Jinsheng, made a move in time. He grabbed Li Yi and pulled him back.
At the same time, the head of the Mirror Moon Tower, Yan Xishi, and the old prince, Li Dong, attacked from the left and right at the same time to stop the Dragon King.
The Dragon King punched left and right, knocking away the halberd and shattering the shield.
After forcing Li Dong and Yan Xishi back, he stood up and pounced on Li Yi again.
He took Li Yi as a hostage to ensure that the Tang Army would not dare to act rashly, so that the young disciples of the Dragon Gate could break out of the encirclement.
However, at this moment, a hand suddenly clenched into a fist and appeared in front of him.
The two fists collided.
The newcomer did not move.
The River Dragon King, Li Jie's forward momentum stopped and he took a step back.
"Father!" Li Yi, who was rescued, was slightly stunned.
Situ Jinsheng and the others were also shocked.
The newcomer was dressed in ordinary clothes, but the domineering aura of a king intertwined around him, vaguely showing the shape of a dragon.
It was the current King of Tang, Li Xuanxin.
He was also the current number one martial artist in Eastern Tang.
The King of Tang versus the Dragon King.
The King of War versus the Refinement of the River. The King of War's Fist was still better.
"You've indeed broken through your original realm and reached the Ninth Realm. I didn't think highly of you in vain."
The King of Tang retracted his fist and said calmly.
"I was lucky to have just broken through. I can't compare to His Majesty who has been ruling for many years."
Seeing the King of Tang, Li Jie's heart was slightly heavy.
It was not entirely because of the other party's personal strength, but because he was worried about other aspects.
Behind him, several high-level experts of the Dahe Longmen also changed their expressions when they saw the King of Tang.
They were all guarding their ships and letting the opponents besiege their Sect Master.
But after Li Jie showed his true strength of the Ninth Realm of Martial Arts, they suddenly changed their previous style and all rushed to the dragon ship at the front.
Daoist Zhichen, the abbot of the Fuzhen Guan Temple, could not stop them at all.
They had just rushed onto the ship and were ready to help their Sect Master when they saw the King of Tang arrive in person.
The King of Tang looked at Li Jie and then at them. "I've already seen through your tricks. I've arranged for people to encircle and suppress you on the land."
The people of the Dragon Gate all looked serious.
Without the cover of their murderous aura, the Tang Army, Situ Jinsheng, Zheng Tianfeng, and the others on both sides also noticed that there were only a few people on the ships.
Most of the disciples of the Dragon Gate were not here.
It was just that the Dragon King and the others were using themselves as bait to lure Li Yi and the others to attack.
The other descendants of the Dragon Gate broke out of the encirclement on the land one step later.
On the one hand, the Dragon King and the others tried to kill a large number of Eastern Tang experts. On the other hand, they tried to capture Li Yi, the son of the King of Tang, who led the army.
But now, all their plans were in vain.
"For your own sake, and for the sake of the Dragon Gate disciples on the land …"
The King of Tang looked at the people of the Dragon Gate in front of him calmly.
"Submit to me, and I'll let bygones be bygones."
