"Zi!"
Cang Liqun drew in a sharp breath, standing up in shock from the war chariot. Only then did he realize that the over two thousand soldiers of the opposing side were all martial artists! Such a powerful formation was virtually non-existent in the army of Tianshui Kingdom!
"How can there be such an army? What's going on?!"
Although he was startled, he quickly regained his composure. Even if martial artists were strong, they could only fight ten or a hundred at a time, and it was impossible for them to break through the encirclement of his forty thousand troops. However, if he relied on a sea of people, the losses would be too heavy! He became hesitant.
Li Yunxiao raised his arm and shouted loudly, "Well done! Now everyone, activate the Killing Qi Technique, form a square formation, and break through from the south!"
"Yes!"
After a fierce battle, everyone's confidence grew. With the effect of the Killing Qi Technique, a hint of murderous and bloodthirsty aura began to appear in their eyes. The formation of over two thousand people instantly produced a purple-black aura above the square, which began to coalesce into a faint finger shape.
"What, what is this?" Cang Liqun's eyes widened. The bone-chilling, hair-raising aura of slaughter made him feel a deep unease. The faint finger-shaped shadow above the square formation made his chest feel constricted, as if he wanted to vomit blood.
"Charge!"
With a loud shout of "Charge," the over two thousand people were highly spirited, their eyes bloodshot as they charged toward the south. They quickly broke into the forty thousand troops, and wherever they went, it was like a wall of tofu collapsing instantly. The over two thousand students seemed to have not even moved, and the purple-black aura alone devoured a large number of soldiers, leaving no one unscathed!
Cang Liqun roared in anger, "Hold them back, hold them back! Do whatever it takes to stop them!" He was horrified to find that the formation of over two thousand people was like a meat grinder, and all the soldiers who were thrown in were completely crushed!
Li Yi's pupils also widened in shock, his face darkening. "This Li Yunxiao is indeed a demon. If we don't get rid of him soon, he will surely become a great threat in the future! This demonic formation is commanded by him. As long as we eliminate him, we can break it!"
Cang Liqun also noticed this and shouted, "There's no time to waste. I'll hold Ji Meng. You kill Li Yunxiao!" He then flew out, wielding a war saber to slash at Ji Meng!
Li Yi cursed under his breath, "Old fox!" Cang Liqun knew Li Yunxiao's identity. Although they were now enemies, if he were to die at his hands, Li Chunyang and Li Changfeng would surely skin him alive. Even the Crown Prince might not be able to protect him.
"Senior Brothers, we must kill this boy this time! He is our natural nemesis. If he doesn't die, not only will we suffer, but Master's grand plan will also be ruined!"
"Agreed, I also find this boy too demonic! Junior Brother, you rest here. We two will handle it!" Guangyuan Jia and Yu Yuanwen also appeared on the war chariot, their faces grim as they stared at Li Yunxiao.
Li Yi nodded and said, "Originally, one senior brother would suffice, but this boy is too demonic. Both of you must act together to ensure his death!"
"Rest assured, we'll do it!" The two raised their long weapons and soared into the air, charging at Li Yunxiao with overwhelming momentum.
After blocking Cang Liqun with a single sword strike, Ji Meng immediately noticed Guangyuan Jia and Yu Yuanwen rushing toward Li Yunxiao. His face turned pale with shock, and his eyes filled with a fierce killing intent as he charged over. However, Cang Liqun was a two-star Martial Lord, stronger than him, and would not let him off. He wielded his war saber in a tight circle, pinning Ji Meng down.
"Be careful, Young Master Yun!" He could not come to his aid and could only shout in alarm.
Li Yunxiao had already noticed the two and shouted, "Everyone, focus on charging south, no distractions!" He lightly tapped his feet and soared into the air, running toward the south. He was not foolish enough to face two Martial Lords head-on! The student army needed to break through and head south. According to the schedule, Chen Dasheng's troops would soon arrive, and then it would be time to counterattack!
"Trying to escape?" Guangyuan Jia sneered, his long spear creating a series of ice crystals as it flew through the air. He was a genuine Martial Lord, and with one strike, the air was torn apart, and a long stretch of sky was frozen, forming an ice bridge that fell toward Li Yunxiao.
"Hmph, want to kill me? Kill your own people first!" With a light step, he shouted, "Shape-shifting, Moon Step!"
He directly rushed into the ranks of the Golden Lion Legion, darting through the chaotic crowd. Guangyuan Jia's ice bridge followed, killing many of the Golden Lion Legion's soldiers, but he did not care, continuing to slash mercilessly.
Yu Yuanwen also did not fall behind, charging into the ranks with his war spear, slaughtering wildly.
Li Yunxiao's steps were incredibly agile, easily dodging through the crowd. He occasionally pushed soldiers in front of him as shields, throwing them toward Guangyuan Jia and Yu Yuanwen, who invariably cut them in half. All the soldiers drew in sharp breaths, fleeing in terror, their eyes filled with anger!
"What are you doing! Don't kill my soldiers!"
Cang Liqun, who was engaged in battle, also noticed the situation and roared in anger. These were his loyal subordinates who had followed him for years, and seeing them fall to their own people made him furious!
Guangyuan Jia, while killing, roared, "It's all because this boy is too cunning, using your soldiers as shields. Watch me cut him down!" As he spoke, he thrust his spear through another soldier Li Yunxiao had thrown, creating a burst of blood that froze into blue ice and shattered upon impact.
Cang Liqun roared in anger, "If you kill my subordinates again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Hmph!" Yu Yuanwen sneered, slightly restraining himself, and kicked away a soldier Li Yunxiao had thrown.
Li Yunxiao moved through the crowd like a fish in water, dodging with ease. All the soldiers avoided him as if he were a plague, fleeing in all directions. With the student army's fierce charge, a gap soon opened to the south, and everyone rushed out.
Li Yi, watching from a distance on the war chariot, shouted in frustration, "Kill his companions, and see if he can still hide!"
Guangyuan Jia's eyes scanned the crowd. After the student army broke through the gap, they lost their commander and scattered in chaos toward the south. Behind the gap, Lin Yu and Bai Chengfeng were holding the rear. They were the only two Martial Masters in the student army and took on greater responsibility.
"Hmph!" Guangyuan Jia sneered and aimed his spear directly at the two.
The two immediately felt a fatal aura lock onto them, a sense of impending death overwhelming them!
Bai Chengfeng, being the more powerful, reacted first. He shouted and used the Heavenly Flower Scattering technique, releasing hundreds of Nine-Linked Thunder Pearls. His hands slammed together, forming a huge grinding wheel that flew into the air, blocking in front of the two.
"Even a grain of sand can shine?" Guangyuan Jia sneered, his spear thrusting down. The hundreds of Nine-Linked Thunder Pearls exploded in succession but failed to stop his spear!
"Clang!"
The spear struck the grinding wheel, and with a loud boom, the two arm guards were shattered. The spear's momentum pierced through the air, striking Bai Chengfeng's chest, piercing it through!
"Spit!"
Bai Chengfeng spat out a mouthful of blood, his spirit instantly wilting.
"Chengfeng!" Lin Yu, stunned, roared in rage and rushed over to catch Bai Chengfeng. He saw his pupils slowly dilate.
"Ant, die!" Guangyuan Jia, furious that his spear had not instantly killed a Martial Master, raised his spear again to strike.
"Lin Yu, be careful!" A beautiful voice trembled, Roland's face turning pale with fear. She shouted desperately, "Run, Lin Yu, run!" She felt powerless, watching helplessly as her beloved was about to die at the enemy's spear.
"Clang!"
A dragon's roar of sword qi sounded, and Li Yunxiao suddenly appeared, his Spring Water longsword creating a series of sword lights, like lotus flowers blooming, sweeping toward Guangyuan Jia's head!
"Green Lotus Sword Song!"
Guangyuan Jia instinctively felt a chill. He did not understand why an eight-star martial artist could make him feel such a chill, but it was the most instinctive feeling of a martial artist. He drew in a sharp breath, unable to kill Lin Yu, and quickly withdrew his spear, sweeping it to extinguish the lotus flowers one by one.
Roland, watching from a distance, felt a sense of relief as her heart, which had been in her throat, relaxed. She felt a sense of exhaustion as she looked at the figure amidst the lotus flowers, her heart filled with complex emotions.
"Take Bai Chengfeng back and find Jia Rong for treatment!" Li Yunxiao said, and he was immediately enveloped by Guangyuan Jia's ice spear, facing a perilous situation!
Lin Yu, filled with grief and anger, knew that staying would only be a burden. He punched the ground in frustration, causing a cloud of dust to rise, and then carried Bai Chengfeng back into the student army.
At this moment, everyone's attention was on Guangyuan Jia and Li Yunxiao, Cang Liqun and Ji Meng. The forty thousand troops had failed to contain the two thousand student soldiers, and any further assault would be futile.
Seeing Li Yunxiao trapped, Ji Meng became extremely anxious and attacked fiercely. His sword technique was graceful and agile, creating a beautiful scene of blooming peach blossoms wherever he went. Cang Liqun felt extremely suppressed and frustrated. Originally, he thought his one-star higher realm would allow him to easily suppress and even kill Ji Meng. Who would have thought he would gradually feel overwhelmed.
"Boy, don't hide! If you're a man, take my spear!"
On the other side, Guangyuan Jia was also extremely frustrated. Although his spear technique was getting faster, making Li Yunxiao appear to be in great danger, he always managed to dodge at the most critical moments. It seemed like luck at first, but as it happened more often, he realized it was due to skill!
