Chapter 86

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" The pain in his body intensified, spreading rapidly as if millions of steel needles were piercing his heart.

Deng Qianwan could not bear it and immediately started shouting.

His hands loosened, and the iron caltrop mace fell to the ground.

Clang, clang, clang. In an instant, Lady Deng had already deflected six or seven of Tian Chanzi's lethal sword strikes.

"Good skills! But he is about to die, why do you still protect him, little beauty?" Tian Chanzi's demeanor was cold, but his eyes were lecherous, carrying a strong allure.

It was the unique "Soul Transfer" illusion of the Heavenly Toad Eye.

Lady Deng's eyes suddenly blurred, and she saw a figure appear before her, with a refined face and a red whip in hand. It was actually the Governor of Cangwu, Shi Huang.

Lady Deng was overjoyed.

"Lord Shi?! Lord, come and help me!"

Suddenly hearing this deeply emotional call, the boundless jealousy hidden in Deng Qianwan's heart erupted to the extreme.

He was already injured in a vital area and had been deliberately tormented by Tian Chanzi's qi, leaving him weak and unable to move. But at this moment, as if by divine intervention, strength returned to his arms. He bent down and picked up the iron caltrop mace.

"Bitch!"

He shouted in anger and swung the mace with all his might at Lady Deng's back, who was momentarily stunned.

The mace, known as a golden melon when used in court ceremonies, resembled a hammer with a longer handle and a smaller head than a regular hammer. It also resembled a staff, but with a prominent melon-shaped protrusion at the top.

The iron caltrop mace had a small melon-shaped head on a long handle, covered with long and short sharp iron spikes, resembling a large iron burr.

After Lady Deng called out, the qi and blood in her body surged, and she expelled the illusion, breaking free from Tian Chanzi's control. The person in front of her turned back into the hateful horse-faced Taoist.

Realizing she had almost fallen into the opponent's illusion again, Lady Deng was secretly shaken. Even with full precautions, she still fell for it. What did this mean?

"Husband, be careful! He is..."

But Tian Chanzi coldly smiled and suddenly retreated.

"Sister, get out of the way!" A sharp and urgent cry came from a distance, it was Yingying.

Lady Deng heard Yingying's cry and the violent wind behind her at the same time.

Her face turned ashen. The sound was too familiar; it was her husband's iron mace!

I came to save him, but he...

Before she could finish her thought, a powerful force struck her back, and she was hit by the heavy mace.

Lady Deng's vision went black, and she staggered forward several steps, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

Then, she collapsed, unable to stand.

"Sister! Sister!" In a moment, two figures rushed to her side, it was Yingying and Xiaodie.

The two women ignored Deng Qianwan, who was a few steps away, and quickly knelt down to check Lady Deng's injuries.

Fortunately, her pulse was strong, and her breathing was steady.

The two women breathed a sigh of relief.

Yingying angrily raised her head and saw the evil Deng Qianwan standing a few steps away. His eyes were lifeless, and he held the iron caltrop mace, the spiky head resting on the ground, his body bent, motionless like a wooden statue.

She barely managed to hold back her angry words.

"Miss, let's retreat!" Xiaodie whispered, and Yingying nodded, preparing to carry Lady Deng away.

"Two beauties, please! I am here, you must stay!" Tian Chanzi suddenly approached, reaching out to grab Yingying's left shoulder.

"Filthy scoundrel, how dare you!" Xiaodie drew her twin swords, swiftly slashing at Tian Chanzi's wrist and elbow.

"Good swordsmanship!" Tian Chanzi praised, and with his left hand, he tapped the short sword, then tapped again.

Clang! Clang!

Two clear strikes hit the middle of the swords' spines, easily deflecting them.

Xiaodie's two swords separated, and both hands felt a burning sensation at the tiger's mouth, almost causing the swords to fly out of her hands. She was secretly alarmed; this Taoist might look weak, but his strength was immense.

Tian Chanzi's right hand remained in the same position, still reaching for Yingying's left shoulder.

A flash of cold light appeared where the young girl's shoulder should have been, revealing a small ruyi yue, with two sharp blades facing Tian Chanzi's fingers.

The ruyi yue, also known as the sun-moon wheel, is a short defensive weapon, usually used in pairs, one large and one small. Its shape resembles a full moon, with two inward-curving short blades extending from each side, the tips of which are shaped like swords, capable of piercing, cutting, and chopping, with endless variations and incredible sharpness.

Tian Chanzi frowned and withdrew his hand.

"Originally, these are Duan's sun-moon wheels. I will let you go for now!" Tian Chanzi glared at Yingying with dissatisfaction and quickly retreated.

Yingying and Xiaodie both breathed a sigh of relief. Tian Chanzi's unpredictable nature was terrifying, and the pressure they felt from him was even greater than from Shi Huang, who wielded the ochre whip.

Suddenly, a series of rapid drum beats sounded, and a voice shouted, "The general orders, fire the arrows!"

The sharp whistling of arrows filled the air again.

"Ahh!" A惨叫 came from nearby.

The two women looked over and saw Deng Qianwan's chest hit by three or four arrows, his eyes widening rapidly. Fortunately, his iron caltrop mace was still propping him up, supporting his body.

Deng Qianwan stared ahead, softly calling, "A Yuan... A Yuan..."

An arrow suddenly curved from the enemy's formation, descending, and then pierced through Deng Qianwan's throat.

Deng Qianwan's eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground, dead.

The rain of arrows intensified, and Xiaodie, seeing the situation, quickly moved forward, waving her twin swords to block the arrows.

"Miss, take Lady and go!"

"Xiaodie!" Yingying called, seeing the urgency, and hurriedly helped Lady Deng to retreat. In the cold rain of arrows, they almost got hit several times.

"Zeng Sister, we are here to help!" At a critical moment, two figures rushed to their aid from behind.

Yingying felt a lightening of her burden as someone helped her support Lady Deng's left shoulder, speeding up their retreat. Yingying quickly followed.

"Xiaolan Sister!"

Xiaodie shouted, "It's you, Meinan!"

The person waved a long spear, deflecting the flying arrows, saying, "Girl, don't be stubborn, let's go, or you'll become a hedgehog girl!"

Xiaodie, angry and embarrassed, spat, "Nonsense!"

This person was Qin Yu.

He and Xi Zhilan had left Xi Zhicai's group halfway, riding two fast horses side by side, enjoying their own world. Xi Zhicai knew they didn't want to travel with so many people and didn't stop them.

As a result, they arrived at the battlefield earlier, seeing the urgent situation, and rushed over to provide timely assistance.

With his help, the pressure on Xiaodie was greatly reduced. The two of them supported each other, protecting Yingying and the others as they fought and retreated, gradually moving out of the range of the crossbows.

Through their efforts, the severely injured Lady Deng was saved, and the Xiongxi tribe began to retreat.

Considering the safety of the treasure, the Shouchun forces did not pursue them but let them escape.

However, out of the nearly four hundred Xiongxi warriors, only fewer than forty managed to escape. Most of the warriors died under the strong crossbow arrows of the Zhong army escorting the convoy, and dozens of the bravest were killed by the swords of Huainanzi and Tian Chanzi.

This battle alone left the once powerful Xiongxi tribe of Wuling with its current leader dead and a significant loss of its elite, completely losing its qualification to compete with Wuxi and Chenxi for the leadership.
