Chapter 200: Be careful in your next life (6K)
City number ninety-eight.
Zhao Xing and Long Xiao's Swordfish flying boat landed.
"Shu~"
As soon as he landed, Zhao Xing discovered that the planting area in the south of the city had been completely destroyed.
The Earth Fire Lotus had been completely stripped, leaving it in a mess.
The Si Nonghe craftsmen in the city were dejected and in a very low mood.
"Where is Che Shihai?" Zhao Xing grabbed a Si Nong and asked.
"Lord Zhao? You are finally here..." The ninth-rank minister of agriculture had a sad face.
"Why are you crying? I'm asking you where Che Shihai is?" Zhao Xing shouted.
"Inside, inside." The ninth-rank minister of agriculture pointed to the medical hall.
shuh~
Zhao Xing immediately rushed into the medical hall.
At this time, Che Shihai had a bandage on his left shoulder, Wang Ji was lying on the bed with a pale face, and Han Bing was sitting in the corner.
A military doctor is giving Wang Ji an injection.
Seeing Zhao Xing coming, Che Shihai was immediately excited, but Han Bing's face was still gloomy.
"Boss..." Che Shihai was about to speak.
"How long has the person been gone?" Zhao Xing interrupted.
"A quarter of an hour."
"What direction?"
"Northeast."
"how many people?"
"More than a thousand people. No, maybe more."
"Che Shihai, immediately order people to blow the city's warning horn and put the city on high alert!" Zhao Xing interrupted Che Shihai.
"Boss, they are..."
"Shut up! The enemy attacked you and there is no trace of fighting. You are embarrassing me!" Zhao Xing interrupted Che Shihai again, "Mobilize all five departments immediately and send them out of the city. If you can't find the enemy, cut down a few trees for me!"
"Yes, yes!" Che Shihai walked out immediately.
Han Bing knew what Zhao Xing was planning as soon as he heard it. "That man is Qian Shougang, the leader of the Black Dragon Army of King Liang. We..."
"What Black Dragon Army, what commander?" Zhao Xing narrowed his eyes and stared at Han Bing. "City No. 98 was attacked by the enemy, the commander was injured, and the precious military supply Fire Lotus was robbed. Remember this, even if the king of heaven comes, you must say this."
Han Bing met Zhao Xing's gaze and shuddered: "I, I understand."
"How is Wang Ji's injury?"
Military doctor Yuan Yang said: "He has internal injuries, but it's not a big problem. He can be cured in a few hours."
"Pull out the needle." Zhao Xing said, "Let Wang Ji lie on the city wall."
Yuan Yang: “?”
"What are you standing there for? Just do it!"
"Yes." Yuan Yang immediately waved his hand and asked people to carry Wang Ji to the city wall.
After quickly arranging everything, Zhao Xing left the medical hall again. At this time, chaos had broken out outside.
He took a look at the temple. At this time, the temple had not been completed yet and, like the city wall, was in a semi-finished state.
Zhao Xing pulled Han Bing over and said, "Gather everyone's Mirage Beads and Earth Mirrors. I don't need to teach you how to do it."
Han Bing nodded.
Zhao Xing patted Han Bing on the shoulder and jumped onto the Swordfish Flying Boat: "Wait here, I will avenge you."
After saying that, the Swordfish flying boat carrying Long Xiao's five hundred brave soldiers chased towards the northeast.
"Have you figured out who did it?" Long Xiao asked hurriedly.
"We have figured it out. The enemy disguised themselves as a private army of King Liang, and the Black Dragon Army is led by Qian Shougang." Zhao Xing said.
"What? King Liang!" Long Xiao's eyes were blazing with fire. "It's him again!"
The Shenwei Army was disbanded that year, and the culprit was King Liang.
At that time, the Shenwei Army could have conquered a cave heaven, and Yang An could have been named Shenwei Hou, and even the nomination had been drawn up.
However, all his efforts were in vain because he offended King Liang.
If Yang An hadn't shouldered most of the pressure, he and Lao Chen and his team would have been more than just demoted and exiled.
If we were to say who Long Xiao hated the most, it was not the barbarian enemy general, but King Liang!
However, they had no way to accuse Liang Wang Ji Mingxian, because Liang Wang controlled the military and political power of Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion at that time. He used the method of issuing orders and intelligence to create a time difference, deliberately causing the Shenwei Army to fight on all sides, leading to defeat, and then held them accountable.
There was nothing wrong with the process of each command, but just a slight manipulation was enough to put the Shenwei Army in danger.
Zhao Xing said calmly: "I repeat, we are enemies disguised as the private army of King Liang, just like we pretended to be barbarian generals when we sneaked into Huolong Pass."
Long Xiao also reacted at this time: "Yes, it's the enemy!"
Zhao Xing said, "We'll catch up with him and start fighting without giving him a chance to talk. He claims to be an inspector, so he won't bring many people with him to City No. 98."
"Humph, there are also Earth Fire Lotuses planted by our army on his ship. These are the stolen goods."
Long Xiao nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, that's it!"
When it comes to brains, Zhao Xing is more useful.
Zhao Xing stood at the bow of the ship. A spiritual bridge appeared above his head, connecting heaven and earth. He began to search for traces of the warship passing by in the strong wind layer.
After a moment, Zhao Xing spread out the map.
"Based on the traces of the gale layer, the fifth-tier Black Dragon warship is not moving at full speed."
"We will catch up with the warship in about two quarters of an hour."
"But this place is very close to Beixian Territory, and there are six military cities nearby. If this person escapes into the camp in the city, it will be difficult to kill him."
"If the Black Dragon Army's garrison comes to support us, it will also be difficult to take revenge."
Zhao Xing's fingertips passed through the six military cities.
Finally came to the conclusion:
"Long Xiao, we only have two quarters of an hour to fight at most."
"If we delay any longer, things will get unpredictable. So from the beginning, you and I must do our best."
"I understand." Long Xiao nodded.
"Meow!" Long Aotian also waved his paw beside him, as if to cheer him up.
A quarter of an hour after Zhao Xing left.
"Boom~"
Liao Rulong drove six warships and landed outside City No. 98.
"Han Bing, what's going on?!" Chen Shijie asked, "Where is Zhao Xingren?"
"Sir, we were attacked by a group of enemy troops disguised as the Southern Expedition Army!" Han Bing pointed at Wang Ji lying on a stretcher, "The commander is injured and cannot afford it. Zhao Sinong has already led his men to pursue the enemy."
"Which direction?" Liao Rulong asked.
"Northeast." Han Bing pointed.
"Chase them!" Liao Rulong roared, "Damn it, these beasts have no memory and dare to attack my city?!"
Chen Shijie saw the clue at a glance. He came closer, stared at Han Bing and said, "What's the situation? Tell me the truth. Why didn't Wang Ji receive treatment?"
Han Bing remembered Zhao Xing's instructions and gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, we were attacked by the enemy. A group of enemy troops disguised themselves as the Black Dragon Army and the Inspector General."
Black Dragon Army? Chen Shijie was shocked.
"Okay, I understand." Chen Shijie stared at Han Bing: "Even if the king of heaven comes, you have to say the same thing."
As soon as Liao Rulong's troops left, Xia Jing drove a warship to City No. 98.
"What's going on? Zhao Xing said you were beaten up?" Xia Jing jumped off the boat. "Why is Engineer Wang still lying on the ground?"
Seeing this, Han Bing had no choice but to repeat what Zhao Xing had said.
Xia Jing was not a fool. As soon as he heard Han Bing's words, he knew that it had been "carved". Needless to say, it must have been taught by Zhao Xing.
"I see." Xia Jing jumped onto the warship, took out the map, and after some calculations in his mind, he licked his lips and said, "Hey, brother, you are the first person of the seventh rank who dares to touch the tiger beard of King Liang. I, Xia Jing, will definitely help you."
"All Black Armor troops, listen up! Target the northeast, and advance at full speed!"
After Xia Jing left, another twelve warships flew over. They were Li Que from the Zhenhai Army.
Huolong Pass cannot send out all its men, so someone must be left behind to guard it. Jiang Ming naturally took on this responsibility.
However, as soon as Jiang Ming heard that Zhao Xing was calling for someone, he quickly found Li Que.
He said: "Brother, although I don't know what he is doing, we can't just stand by and watch him. We still need to leave people to guard Huolong Pass. You just got here, it's the right time to show your skills. When you go over there, don't ask anything, just follow him and fight. You won't suffer any loss."
Li Que immediately led his men out.
His subordinate 'Chen Lu' was once rescued by Zhao Xing. At that time, the 109th city of the Zhenhai Army was breached and the entire army was almost wiped out. If Zhao Xing had not happened to pass by, this radical commander would have lost more military merits.
Just for this favor, he had to go and help. What's more, he, Li Que, had to live under someone else's roof. Although Zhao Xing was only a seventh-rank official, he was the link between the three armies. In Li Que's opinion, his role was more important than Liao Rulong's.
So even though no one notified the Zhenhai Army, Li Que arrived quickly, and was only slightly slower than Xia Jing, because he was more radical, and his ship was good and flew very fast.
"Who are you..." Han Bing looked at the visitor in confusion. He didn't know Li Que.
"Zhenhaijun Li Que, which direction did Zhao Xing go?"
"northeast."
Whoosh~ Li Que quickly jumped onto the warship and chased towards the northeast.
Han Bing couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his palms when he saw this.
Wow, three waves of people have arrived in just a short while.
This is about what it’s like to fight against Huolong Pass.
You want to run away after offending Zhao Xing?
Die for me! Han Bing had no expression on his face, but he was roaring in his heart.
"Water, water..." Wang Ji on the stretcher had dry lips and woke up from coma.
Han Bing was just about to give Mr. Wang some water.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Yang remembered Zhao Xing's instructions and knocked Wang Ji unconscious again with a knife.
Han Bing: “…”
Wang Ji: “…”
In the gale layer, in the Black Dragon warship.
"Sir, the Earth Fire Lotus has been counted."
"speak."
"There are 500 mature fifth-level earth fire lotuses, and 2,000 seeds and seedlings."
Qian Shougang snorted coldly: "Humph, these peasants of the Shenwei Army have no other skills, but they are quite capable in farming."
"That's right. After requisitioning these things, we will definitely be able to equip our Black Dragon Army with a batch of robes." The subordinate agreed.
"What's good about that?" Qian Shougang shouted, "You have to send someone here in person to get it. You don't know the rules at all. You are just as bad as Yang An!"
"Your Excellency is right." The subordinate's heart trembled.
"Go down." Qian Shougang waved his hand.
He did not take this action seriously at all, because he was in the Black Dragon Guard and witnessed the disbandment of the Divine Power Army.
Yang An was also a stubborn man back then. He was indifferent to the transfer order from King Liang and even voted against King Liang's appointment to take charge of Jiutian Yingyuan Prefecture. He was simply courting his own death.
The final result was that the Shenwei Army was disbanded, and Yang An, who could have been awarded the title of first-class marquis, ended up with the title of county marquis.
At that time, Qian Shougang witnessed with his own eyes the commander of the Shenwei Army resigning from his post, disbanding the Shenwei Army, and many soldiers leaving sadly.
That scene was deeply imprinted in Qian Shougang's mind.
The prince was magnanimous and did not continue to make things difficult for Yang An. Later, the imperial court restored the Shenwei Army, but this guy did not even know how to be grateful.
And with good luck, we took down the Fire Dragon Pass.
Qian Shougang sent people to ask for the Earth Fire Lotus a while ago, but in the end he didn't even get to see Liao Rulong.
He simply didn't take Qian Shougang seriously, nor did he take King Liang seriously!
"You bastard, you have to be beaten before you surrender." Qian Shougang sneered disdainfully when he thought of the scene where Wang Ji tried to stop him.
Zhao Xing estimated that he would catch up with the Black Dragon warship in two quarters of an hour, but in less than two quarters of an hour, he had already seen the shadow of the Black Dragon warship.
The Black Dragon warship is different from the Nether Flame warship. It has a strong alert capability and immediately discovered the Swordfish Flying Boat behind it.
"Sir, a flying boat appeared behind us, it seems to be flying the banner of the Divine Power Army." The subordinate quickly reported the matter. "Oh?" Qian Shougang raised his eyebrows, "The Divine Power Army has caught up with us? How many people are there?"
"There is only one Swordfish Flying Boat. According to the monitoring of the Qi and Blood Array, it is estimated that there are about 500 people."
"Stop the boat." Qian Shougang said contemptuously, "Let me see what these people are going to do."
The Black Dragon warship actually stopped on its own initiative.
Zhao Xing didn't know what Qian Shougang was thinking.
Instead of running away after stealing other people's things, he actually waited for people to come to him.
"This person is either overly arrogant or extremely stupid." Zhao Xing thought to himself.
How could he know that Qian Shougang had such a huge psychological advantage over the Shenwei Army.
Qian Shougang might respect other powerful armies, but he would not dare to do so to the Tiger and Dragon Army.
But when facing the Shenwei Army, Qian Shougang did not feel any psychological pressure at all.
"He actually closed the warship barrier?" Zhao Xing sneered twice, "He is courting death."
Qian Shougang ordered the warship to stop on a hill. He closed the warship's barrier, raised the flag of the Black Dragon Army, and stood on the deck in a blatant manner.
Then eight flying boats were released, forming an encirclement that surrounded the Swordfish flying boat.
The Swordfish flying boat also descended in altitude.
Qian Shougang stood on the hill, looking down at the swordfish flying boat and shouted: "I am..."
huh~
What responded to him was Long Xiao with a golden sword.
It suddenly jumped out from the swordfish flying boat and headed straight for Qian Shougang's head.
"What? How outrageous!" Qian Shougang was angry. They were treating him like a barbarian and beating him.
The small Shenwei Army dares to be so arrogant just because they won a battle?
Qian Shougang stretched out his hand to catch the flying sword. He was confident in his own strength. Relying on the fact that he was at the sixth rank and had perfected the Tiangang realm, he actually tried to catch the flying sword with his bare hands.
"Chichi~"
Qian Shougang's expression changed the moment the flying sword approached, and he changed from grabbing to blocking. The arm guard on his hand instantly extended to form a small shield.
"Dang!" The flying sword pierced the shield, and the huge force caused Qian Shougang's wrist to hurt.
With just this one blow, his wrist was broken, and he flew backwards and crashed into the warship behind him.
"Swish~" The flying sword brushed against the edge of the shield, the sword light flashed, and it wiped towards Qian Shougang's neck again.
"Puff~" The golden sword stabbed into the warship, but Qian Shougang was no longer there.
There was a bloody scratch on his shoulder, but he managed to avoid the fatal injury at the critical moment.
A clump of hair fell off, and Qian Shougang realized what he had just experienced.
"Asshole, you, how dare you..." Qian Shougang was angry and scared. He drew his sword and pointed it forward: "Kill those who dare to attack me!"
"Brave Battalion, Killing Sword Formation!"
Long Xiao failed to kill Qian Shougang with two consecutive moves, but only injured him. He immediately waved his hand and the golden sword flew back into his hand.
The five hundred brave soldiers behind him shouted in unison, and a stream of blood and energy immediately rushed up into the sky, condensing into a golden-red sword.
"Boom~"
The Qi and Blood Battle Formation flashed with light, and the shock wave surged outward five times, instantly blasting away the eight surrounding flying boats.
Long Xiao's brave battalion, these five hundred personal soldiers, have trained with him for many years and have also reached the fifth-level battle formation.
Long Xiao is a sword cultivator, and the five hundred people behind him all use swords as well.
At this moment, the five hundred and one people seemed as one.
Long Xiao's aura expanded unprecedentedly, and in an instant he surpassed Qian Shougang.
"Black Dragon Guards, form a formation!"
Seeing Long Xiao’s power, Qian Shougang also roared.
But at this moment, a cloud of mist suddenly appeared and enveloped the eight surrounding flying boats.
The white fog turned purple in an instant.
High-level technique, Five Elements Mist Hidden Poison Miasma!
While blocking the Black Dragon Guard's vision, it instantly put him into a poisoned state!
But that’s not all.
A cold wind blew towards the warship.
Enveloped the Black Dragon Guards who jumped off the warship.
There were originally eight hundred Black Dragon Guards on the warship, but at this time they were blown away by the [Evil Wind].
Everyone was unsteady on their feet and trembling all over.
"It's Jun Si Nong!"
"careful!"
"Wind of Resurrection!"
"Thunder Slash!"
"Stab the golden rock!"
Nine seventh-rank military ministers appeared on the Black Dragon warship. After receiving the order, they immediately entered combat status to fight against Zhao Xing's spells.
But in the end they were still one step slower than Zhao Xing.
When they just cast the spell, Zhao Xing had already cast the third spell.
"Boom boom boom!"
On the surface of the warship, blue and black spheres suddenly appeared.
It hit accurately the nine seventh-rank military officials.
The third high-level method - [Earth Evil Thunder]
"Pfft~"
The armor on the nine military officers lit up, weakening their power.
Six of them were directly blown away by the Earthly Thunder and died instantly.
Although the other three seventh-grade warriors managed to survive, their heads were still dizzy from the explosion, their spells lost their accuracy, and they even interfered with their own people.
In a split second of fighting, Zhao Xing, alone against a large number of enemies, actually completely suppressed the military minister on the Black Dragon warship.
This resulted in that out of the one thousand Black Dragon Guards that Qian Shougang originally brought, only less than two hundred people, after receiving the order, performed the "Qi and Blood Battle Formation" to provide Qian Shougang with strength.
Although Qian Shougang is arrogant and bad, he is not a weak person. He also formed a fifth-level battle formation.
But he was disturbed by Zhao Xing, and when he formed the battle formation, he had less than two hundred men.
Moreover, as soon as he formed the formation, Long Xiao had already completed the formation and came to kill him.
"boom!"
The black dragon shadow above Qian Shougang's head was instantly split into two by Long Xiao's approaching golden sword.
The black dragon battle formation that had just been formed was broken up in an instant!
"what--"
"Pfft!"
"my hand!"
The Qi and blood battle formation was defeated, and the consequences were fatal.
The damage was evenly distributed and the trauma was passed on to the two hundred Black Dragon Guards.
The golden sword slashed at the black dragon's phantom, and some of them suddenly had their hands broken off, some had their feet cut off, and some were even cut in half!
Qian Shougang was also greatly affected. As the core of the battle formation, a horrible blood mark appeared from his right shoulder to his left waist.
If Qian Shougang was stabbed by the golden sword before, it was just a minor injury for a sixth-grade warrior, but now it is a serious injury!
Between masters, the slightest mistake can determine the winner!
"Stop, stop, I am..."
Qian Shougang was scared and terrified.
Seeing Long Xiao leading five hundred brave soldiers rushing towards him, he felt that death was approaching.
But before he could finish his words, his heart suddenly tightened, as if it was being gripped by a huge hand.
"Puff~" Qian Shougang spat out a mouthful of blood and stared at a certain place.
Zhao Xing’s fourth high-level spell—Teng Snake Transformation!
If there had been a battle formation to protect him, Qian Shougang would not have suffered internal injuries from Zhao Xing.
But his battle formation was broken in an instant, and Zhao Xing's magic was able to break through his Gangqi defense, affecting the five elements in his body, causing drastic changes in his five elements of heaven and earth. This was the weirdness of Hou Bian's method!
However, even so, Qian Shougang was not dead yet. He had reached the sixth level of Tiangang Realm, and had obtained the energy of the Earthly Evil and the energy of the Heavenly Evil to train his body, making his body stronger than one could imagine.
Qian Shougang suddenly pulled out the entire black dragon shadow and took it into his own body.
The two hundred Black Dragon Guards connected to him died in an instant.
Qian Shougang received supplements and most of the injuries from his shoulders to waist were healed.
The strong energy in his body surged wildly, and he left his subordinates behind and fled into the distance.
Qian Shougang took out the Thousand Miles Token on his body and frantically shouted to the Black Dragon Army camp, instantly transmitting his location to the garrison camp.
"You take care of these people, and I'll kill him. Don't leave any of him alive."
Zhao Xing emerged from the clouds, activated his Tengyun Boots, and chased after the seriously injured Qian Shougang.
Seeing this, Long Xiao immediately turned his sword and began to clean up the remaining Black Dragon Guards.
It is true that Qian Shougang is a sixth-rank official, but he is already at the end of his strength at this time, and is relying on the vitality of the other Black Dragon Guards to survive. The faster he flies, the more serious his injuries are.
It only took Zhao Xing three minutes to catch up with Qian Shougang.
"Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?" Qian Shougang asked unwillingly.
"Why should I kill you? Don't you have any idea?"
"Just because I requisitioned your supplies?" Qian Shougang couldn't believe it. He still couldn't believe that Zhao Xing would kill him for this.
He is a dignified sixth-rank official!
Zhao Xing sneered, "You are still a little immature if you want to delay time in front of me."
“Do you see the clouds in the sky?”
"I might as well tell you that the reinforcements you were thinking of are already here, just five kilometers away."
"The fastest one will probably arrive in only forty-five breaths."
When Qian Shougang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
As long as he can hold on forty-five breaths, he will survive!
Zhao Xing symbolically cast a spell at Qian Shougang and found that he was indeed full of fighting spirit and desire to survive.
But then, a thick fog rolled in, covering the surrounding sky and earth: "Unfortunately, they can't find you or see you."
"Because under this cloud and fog is my territory!"
As soon as he finished speaking, it started to rain.
"Ding ding ding ding!"
Countless water drops formed into thousands of lines and bombarded Qian Shougang. Qian Shougang waved his sword and fought desperately.
But after being treated like this by Zhao Xing, Qian Shougang's mentality was completely shattered.
He had lost the will to fight for his life and could only swing his sword instinctively to support himself, as the wounds on his body became more and more serious.
The raindrop method is extinguishing the fire of his life.
Under the threat of death, he finally couldn't help but beg for mercy from the general of the Shenwei Army whom he had always looked down upon, even though he didn't know Zhao Xing's name.
"S-Sorry, please spare my life..."
"It's okay." Zhao Xing's voice rang out from the mist, "Be careful in your next life."
As soon as he finished speaking, drops of rain pierced through Qian Shougang's head.
"Plop~" Qian Shougang, who was pierced like a sieve, fell to the ground.
Qian Shougang's eyes were wide open and he died with his eyes open.
The clouds dispersed and he saw reinforcements coming from the sky. Unfortunately, he could not hold on until this moment and died completely.
Let me tell you something: the author has been updating 12,000 words a day recently, and has been working late into the night to update chapters. However, there are still people who keep criticizing the author for breaking chapters... They even threaten the author with monthly tickets, support the book, and threaten to abandon the book. It's really speechless.
I can understand the readers' eagerness to see the next chapter, but writing a book is to bring a sense of anticipation. What's the point of writing without anticipation? This kind of writing is a very normal thing in itself, but it makes the author seem to have committed a great sin. Recently, I have been obsessed with it and have been posting reviews continuously.
This kind of threat will not force the old author to adjust his writing rhythm. Do I need someone to teach me how to write a book? If you want to urge me to update, then urge me to update. The author is also working hard to write. What's the point of threatening me with this?
