No one would have thought that Niu Youdao would court death here with just the two of them. This was a place with thousands of soldiers and experts!
Even with the precedent of Heaven Valley, no one expected that Niu Youdao would dare to take hostages here. They were still in a daze.
Meanwhile, Niu Youdao had already leaped into the air. His hands shot out two gigantic astral swords that swept across the surroundings. The people around him dodged quickly. Some soldiers did not manage to escape in time and were slashed into pieces.
Yun Ji grabbed hold of Shang Shuqing and snatched the baby from her arms. She invoked her arts to protect the two of them from harm.
The soil on the ground churned. The two adults and one child quickly sank into the ground. The huge tremor woke the baby up, and he wailed loudly.
Shang Shuqing, who was looking at Yun Ji, was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. He shouted, "No!"
As she sank, Yun Ji's head shook, revealing the head of a snake. It opened its bloody mouth and directly sucked the baby into its mouth, swallowing him on the spot. Shang Shuqing almost fainted from fright.
The snake's head only appeared for a moment before it transformed back into its human form.
The soil on the ground surged, and the person had already burrowed into the ground.
The people who dodged immediately knew that they had fallen into a trap. Niu Youdao was not here for a secret discussion. He was obviously here to take the hostage.
"Burrow! Where do you think you're going?! " A Sunset Villa Grand Elder shouted angrily. In a flash, his palms glowed with a rainbow light that was visible to the naked eye.
Niu Youdao, who was spinning in the air, waved his hand and sent out a gigantic astral sword, preventing the enemy from getting close.
The Grand Elder clapped his palms together, and the rainbow light expanded. The two balls of rainbow light actually trapped the gigantic astral sword with shocking destructive power.
Then, with a 'clang', another ray of astral sword came at him like lightning. That person let go of his hands and dodged to the side.
All kinds of weapons flew over from all directions like a tsunami. Niu Youdao, who had already landed on the ground, stood his ground and refused to move. He didn't run or hide. His hands moved like shadows, and streams of Sword Astral Swords shot out explosively in all directions. He looked like a crystal that was filled with spikes.
Twelve Heavenly Sword Astral Shadows blasted out in an instant without any hesitation, blasting away all the weapons that were slashing at them.
This fighting style was simply earth-shattering. When had the surrounding soldiers ever seen such a scene? They were so shocked that they turned around and ran. Those who ran too slowly were directly swept away by the strong astral winds. Pang Teng was quickly retreating under the protection of the cultivators. Cultivators with lower cultivation bases did not even have the qualifications to intervene in the face of such a ferocious barrage of attacks, so they quickly retreated.
A Heavenly Sword Talisman appeared in Jiang Wanlou's hand, and a giant sword energy slashed toward Niu Youdao, who had yet to dissipate.
Jiang Wanlou's anger could be seen from the fact that he had used such an expensive item right off the bat.
Niu Youdao flipped his hand and another Heavenly Sword Talisman exploded. The two sword energies collided with each other, and smoke and dust rose into the air.
The spherical space that enveloped the two of them instantly collapsed. Yun Ji hurriedly invoked her arts to protect Shang Shuqing. Head down and feet up, she pushed against the ground with one hand. As they sank rapidly, she forcefully invoked her arts to solidify the spherical space.
She had to do this to protect Shang Shuqing. Otherwise, Yun Ji could have quickly burrowed into the ground by herself.
The violent rumbling sounds continued to ring out from above.
"Child, child …" Shang Shuqing pulled Yun Ji's arm and cried out in fear. She had seen Yun Ji eat the child with her own eyes.
Yun Ji's belly was as big as a basket. She said in a low voice, "Don't panic, Princess. The child is in my tummy. With my arts to protect him, he will be fine!"
When the intense explosions could no longer be heard, only the thumping of the ground could be heard. Yun Ji waved her hand and slammed the ground. The two of them who were sinking immediately changed their direction.
Yun Ji was also anxious. She used all her cultivation base and escaped with the others at the fastest speed possible.
… …
In the sky above the battlefield, a large bird flew past. Xu Laoliu jumped down and landed in front of Shang Chaozong's horse. He said anxiously, "Prince, they're fighting!"
Guan Fangyi, who was riding on the horse's back, had her heart in her mouth. Meng Shan Ming's old face had a serious expression that she had never seen before.
What fighting? Long Xiu and the others didn't understand.
Shang Chaozong, who hadn't slept for a day and a night, was so anxious that his eyes were bloodshot. His expression was ferocious. He quickly drew out the sword from his waist and pointed it forward as he roared, "Attack! Attack! Attack! "He roared three times in a row. His hysterical voice had changed.
Long Xiu and the others suddenly turned around and looked at him. They knew that he had gathered his men to attack the enemy. However, Shang Chaozong's abnormal and impatient reaction made them feel that something was wrong. But they couldn't tell what the problem was.
Dong, dong, dong! The rapid beating of the war drums echoed in the surroundings.
"Kill!" The generals below gave the order to attack.
The vanguard of the army raised their shields and trotted forward, maintaining the shield formation.
The Zhao army's frontline was preparing for battle. Alarm bells rang continuously. The frontline's shield formation was quickly set up. The archers behind the shields drew their bows. Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Whistling arrows were fired into the air one after another, continuously sending out emergency signals of an enemy attack behind them.
…
Amidst the intense explosions, Niu Youdao was forced to use two Heaven Sword Talismans against Jiang Wanlou's Heaven Sword Talismans.
He had no choice. Not only did he have to deal with Jiang Wanlou, he also had to deal with the attacks from the other direction. Huge sword energy was unleashed to defend against the attacks.
The cultivators from the State of Zhao could not get close. They were shocked by the scene. They saw with their own eyes that Niu Youdao had used three Heaven Sword Talismans.
When the third Heaven Sword Talisman was used up, Niu Youdao used the fourth talisman. However, he realized that the attacks around him had stopped.
He was happy to see this. He was on high alert and surrounded by cultivators who were a distance away.
There's more? Many people's expressions twitched. How many Heaven Sword Talismans did this bastard have?
Heaven Sword Talismans were not paper. Not to mention Jiang Wanlou, no one would keep taking out talismans to play with Niu Youdao's Heaven Sword Talismans. These talismans were expensive. If they were used up here, what would they do when they fought against Yan?
This situation was not within Niu Youdao's expectations. He did not consider it from the start. However, he reacted instantly and guessed the reason.
It was probably because the other party did not know how fast Yun Ji could escape with the hostage. They thought that Yun Ji and the hostage had escaped and could not catch up. Otherwise, they would have attacked with all their might.
He was happy to see this accident happen.
"Niu Youdao, you can't escape. Surrender and be a hostage. You may live if you do that!" Zuo Chengfeng warned angrily.
They had no choice but to be angry, and they were extremely angry. They had met someone who didn't care about their lives, and they had been fooled.
Niu Youdao wanted to delay. The longer he delayed, the safer Yun Ji's party would be. He wanted to buy as much time as possible for Yun Ji and the others.
He was on high alert. Slowly, he said, "Alright, that's easy. Now we can discuss the conditions. The reason why I'm taking the risk to come here is because it's impossible to retreat directly. The three major sects of the Yan Kingdom won't agree to it. However, we can cooperate and put on a show. The Yan Army can retreat, but the prerequisite is that I get something in return! "
Zuo Chengfeng said sternly, "What do you want?"
Niu Youdao said, "Other than Jin Province, give me three more provinces!"
Swoosh! Whoosh … As soon as he finished speaking, the whistling arrows in the distance drew nearer and nearer, soaring into the sky.
The group turned to look.
"Enemy attack!" Pang Teng shouted angrily from a distant hill.
As soon as he spoke, Niu Youdao took advantage of the moment when everyone was distracted to suddenly flash out and soar into the sky in a certain direction.
He had bought enough time. He had to escape.
He had no choice but to escape. The news of the Yan army's attack had already spread. It would be useless to talk nonsense about negotiations.
"I don't believe that he has an endless supply of Heaven Sword Talismans. He won't be able to escape. All of you, go and meet the enemy. I will take care of this bastard! "
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. Figures rushed into the sky. They were the five Supreme Elders of the Gui Yuan Sect. Their voices echoed in the sky as they left.
They had experienced Niu Youdao's treachery. The Gui Yuan Sect Master, Jiang Wanlou, was afraid that something would happen to the five Supreme Elders. He waved his hand and ordered hundreds of cultivators to chase after Niu Youdao.
The rest of the people followed the army and followed Commander-in-Chief Pang Teng to deal with the bigger changes. In the face of a war, the matter of chasing after Niu Youdao had to be put aside.
When Niu Youdao turned his head to take a look, he was quite shocked. The speed of the five old men who were chasing after him was like a sharp arrow, and they caught up to him in an instant.
Niu Youdao swung his Sword Essence in the air and slashed.
The moment he made his move, he felt that something was wrong. The five Supreme Elders were extremely fast and didn't seem to need to borrow strength. They had more angles to attack. He had too many openings in the air. If he continued to escape like this, he would be courting death.
Even though his speed was only about three hundred Zhang and he was still far away from the Corner Lake, he had no choice but to descend in a hurry.
He had already used the Heaven Sword Talisman in his hand. The huge amount of energy couldn't be held back any longer. He didn't care about the consequences and blasted out without holding back.
The figures in the air dodged swiftly.
Below him, a group of archers held their bows and arrows. Seeing Niu Youdao descend, they didn't know what to do. There was a large number of soldiers gathered here, and shooting arrows randomly would harm their own people.
The cultivators who were scattered around the army soared into the air to stop him. Niu Youdao flipped his hand and exploded another Heaven Sword Talisman. He slashed out two huge Sword Essence Shadows and caused a few bursts of blood in the air. The energy of the Heaven Sword Talisman fell into the panicking army.
Restrained by the energy of the Heaven Sword Talisman, it was difficult for him to move horizontally. He couldn't move quickly so he simply ran wildly in the crowd. When he saw cultivators dashing towards him, he bombarded them with Heaven Sword Essence Shadows. He killed so many cultivators that they didn't dare to get close to him. The soldiers who were caught in the crossfire couldn't escape in time. Cries of agony could be heard. War horses neighed and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
After using up the huge amount of energy he had accumulated, Niu Youdao immediately ran towards the panicking crowd. He hoped that his pursuers wouldn't attack him for fear of harming the innocent.
However, the people who were chasing him in the air didn't care about the lives of the soldiers. Sword Essence Shadows and violent Sword Essence Shadows bombarded the crowd below.
As the five old fellows killed until their limbs were flying everywhere, they saw Niu Youdao take out another Heaven Sword Talisman and unleash another Sword Essence Shadow. They immediately split up and landed in five different directions with the intention of trapping Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao kept running madly towards the Corner Lake with all his might. He used the huge Sword Essence Shadows to open a path. Facing the strong enemies, he forced his way out.
He had no choice but to break through. He didn't dare to get entangled. Once he got entangled, he would be dead for sure.
