Chapter 58 Showdown between masters!
A mile away.
There was a soldier standing guard every thirty meters, and each group of three held a torch to provide lighting.
Although the fire was dim, it could barely illuminate an area of thirty to fifty meters.
About three hundred meters behind the soldier, a row of neatly arranged white tents came into view. It was a simply built military camp.
Going deeper inside, the shadows of people are intertwined and it is impossible to distinguish them clearly.
Tonight, the goal of Xiang Yu and others is to break through the numerous defense lines and uncover the secrets guarded by the tyrannical Qin soldiers.
Xiang Yu, who was at the peak of the Grandmaster level, was huge in stature but silent in action.
He was running like a black phantom leading the way, with occasional flashes of white light, which was the tip of his Overlord spear reflecting the cold light in the moonlight.
When he was fifty meters away from the guard, he flicked his wrist and threw a stone to each side.
Two swish sounds.
The torches on both sides went out instantly.
Just as the soldiers on both sides were stunned and could not tell whether it was the wind that blew out the torches or the fuel that burned out, Xiang Yu suddenly appeared in front of the soldier in the middle like a ghost.
There was horror in the soldier's eyes, but he hadn't yet fully realized what was happening as the Overlord Spear stabbed and thrust fiercely.
The soldier's throat was pierced and he fell on his back.
Xiang Yu broke through the defense line in an instant, with more than 20 masters following closely behind him to escort him.
But right now!
The moment the soldier fell to the ground, alarm bells suddenly rang wildly along the entire defense line!
"Enemy attack!!!"
"Enemy attack!!!"
The alarm sounded, and the entire garrison was in an uproar.
The lights suddenly lit up, and the orders of officers at all levels were intertwined, followed by the general's instructions.
It turned out that these border guards seemed to be sparsely distributed, with a distance of thirty steps between them.
However, every five people are connected by a loose rope. Once someone falls down suddenly, the rope will tighten and the bell tied to it will sound an alarm.
In this way, nighttime surveillance saves manpower and is extremely effective.
However, although Xiang Yu was the bravest among the three armies, he had never actually been on the battlefield.
This time he originally wanted to sneak in quietly, find out the secrets, and then escape safely.
As a result, he was discovered immediately as soon as he broke in.
But who is Xiang Yu?
He is a true brave man who is invincible!
In just a few moments, dozens of soldiers rushed out from the surrounding tents. Despite the large number of people, their formation was not at all disordered.
"A mob dares to claim to be brave?! Hahahahaha!"
Xiang Yu smiled proudly, the inner energy surged in his body, and the Overlord Spear in his hand danced with arcs of light.
Whether dots or thorns, under the cover of the night, they are like bolts of lightning that cut through the darkness.
In less than two breaths, more than twenty soldiers in front of him fell to the ground and died.
"Brothers, follow me and charge in!"
"As ordered!"
All the martial arts masters had a deep hatred for the Qin Dynasty, and seeing Xiang Yu being so brave, they all felt their blood boiling.
They followed the breakthrough opened by Xiang Yu and rushed forward bravely.
How could these ordinary soldiers be a match for these heroes of the green forest?
Even though the Qin soldiers were fearless, they fell in droves within a few breaths. At this time, Xiang Yu had already penetrated deep into the hinterland and disappeared from sight.
He did not hesitate to consume his true energy, and made a mad breakthrough on his own. In just a few breaths, he had rushed over two miles.
With his excellent night vision, Xiang Yu discovered a strange green area a few hundred meters ahead, which seemed to be lying on the ground.
This green...
Is it a plant?
Is it a crop?
Could it be that the Qin Dynasty discovered some unknown new type of crop?
Several questions flashed through his mind, and Xiang Yu decided to move on. He must retrieve a few samples tonight and bring them back to the camp for careful study.
Just as he was pushing forward with all his might, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the flank, with a cold light flashing at its waist, and a Tang sword instantly broke out of its sheath and slashed towards him.
"Grandmaster!"
Xiang Yu's heart trembled, and the Overlord Spear in his hand was already in fierce conflict with the scimitar wielded by the opponent.
As a grandmaster at the peak level and possessing divine power, Xiang Yu was not afraid of fighting against ordinary grandmasters.
But what he was most worried about at the moment was that there was actually a grandmaster guarding this place, which meant that the things here must be extremely important.
Moreover, since a grandmaster has appeared, then grandmasters and even innate masters must also exist. In this case, the brothers following him will face great danger.
As expected, after exchanging three moves with Xuanwu, Xiang Yu realized that the opponent was very powerful. If he fought for dozens more moves, he would probably be defeated.
Xuanwu is good at defense. If it were someone else, the situation would probably be even more passive.
After three moves, Xuanwu retreated decisively and shouted loudly: "Five captains, come and help me fight this powerful enemy! The rest of the disciples above the Xiantian realm, immediately form a battle formation to fight!"
"As ordered!"
Hundreds of masters responded in unison, and their majestic momentum made Xiang Yu break out in a cold sweat. It turned out that there were so many masters here!
Immediately afterwards, five figures were seen rushing towards them from the same direction. They were five masters at the grandmaster level!
Faced with this sudden change, Xiang Yu was shocked again. A grand master plus five grand masters. Under normal circumstances, he would naturally be fearless and even have the confidence to defeat them one by one.
Now, however, the situation has clearly become serious.
Tonight, time is extremely tight. Any delay may lead to unforeseen changes, and one of his brothers behind him may die.
At this moment, he had no time to fight with the enemy.
Suddenly, all his internal strength burst out and he approached as fast as lightning.
"kill!"
Xiang Yu let out an earth-shattering roar, and swung the Overlord Spear in his hand into the air. With all his strength and eight points of deep internal energy, he smashed it down fiercely at the grandmaster who was good at defense!
boom! ! !
A loud bang shocked the whole audience!
Xuanwu's body flew backwards dozens of meters and fell heavily to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood. The internal energy in his body was in chaos, and countless bones were broken. He was unable to get up for a while.
No matter how strong his defensive skills were, he was powerless to resist Xiang Yu's overwhelming force.
Xiang Yu took advantage of the fact that other enemies had not yet formed a siege and instantly advanced two or three hundred meters.
When he arrived at the edge of the field, he quickly grabbed a few handfuls of vine leaves with roots and soil, thinking that they would be enough.
Then, he turned back at full speed, shouting, "Got it! Cover, retreat immediately!"
The warriors who were fighting fiercely with the Jinyiwei in the distance responded in unison: "Yes, sir!"
"Protect the young master and evacuate quickly!"
On the other hand, in the Jinyiwei camp, only one word echoed: "Kill!"
The flashes of swords and sabers intertwined and flew amid the clanging sounds, clothes fluttered, and the sound of sharp weapons cutting skin was endless.
Both sides were masters, but the Jinyiwei were numerous and their formation was well-organized. As soon as the battle began, several martial arts masters were unfortunately stabbed.
