In the wilderness, fast horses are galloping and dust is flying.
The three of them traveled thousands of miles from the capital, and it took them only three days to reach Yuzhou City.
For two days and two nights, we traveled almost non-stop, changing horses several times in the middle, just to get back to Yuzhou in the shortest time.
"drive!"
Li Ziye, who was at the front of the three, swung his riding whip and hit the horse's back with an anxious look on his face.
Dad, be sure nothing happens!
My son hasn’t fulfilled his filial piety yet!
Half an hour later.
In front of the three of them, a mountain road appeared.
"Li Ziye, stop!"
At this moment, among the three of them, Qin Wanna's eyes suddenly condensed and she shouted.
"Hush!"
At the front, Li Ziye heard Master Xianzi's reminder and immediately reined in his horse without hesitation.
rear.
Qin Wanna and Hongzhu also reined in their horses and stopped in front of the mountain road.
"Master Fairy, what's wrong?" Li Ziye turned around and asked.
"There is an ambush." Qin Wanna said solemnly.
"Martial arts master?" Li Ziye frowned.
"no."
Qin Grace shook her head, with a solemn expression, and said, "It is more difficult to deal with than martial arts masters. They are elite soldiers of the imperial court, with about a thousand people."
"Elite soldiers?"
Li Ziye looked shocked when he heard this.
Someone actually mobilized the regular army of the imperial court to set up an ambush here?
Trouble!
Li Ziye's face darkened.
The combat effectiveness of the regular army is not comparable to that of stragglers. A thousand elites, if fully equipped and coordinated properly, can temporarily hold back a great practitioner of the Five Realms.
Of course, human sword immortals like Master Xianzi are not included in this list.
However, Master Fairy is injured now and it is not appropriate to take action. These thousand elite soldiers are a big trouble.
Li Ziye stared at both sides of the mountain road, a look of concentration flashing in his eyes.
Who mobilized the army to set up an ambush here?
It is not easy to mobilize the regular army of the imperial court. Even in the capital, there are only a few people who have the power to mobilize the regular army of the imperial court.
It seems that those who want to deal with the Li family have great power in the court.
Thinking of this, Li Ziye gathered his thoughts and said, "I'll go and lead the people out first. Master Xianzi, Sister Hongzhu, you guys act according to the opportunity."
"Be careful." Qin Wanna reminded.
"Um."
Li Ziye nodded and rode towards the mountain road ahead.
The cold wind blew gently, and the withered grass swayed on both sides of the mountain road.
Li Ziye came on horseback.
The entire mountain road was unusually quiet, with only the sound of wind and the rustle of swaying grass.
In front of the mountain road, Qin Wanna and Hongzhu looked at the young man in front of them, ready to help at any time.
"kill!"
Just when Li Ziye walked to the middle of the mountain road, a cold shout suddenly sounded from the top of the mountain road. Then, on both sides of the mountain road, a thousand elite soldiers who had been lying in wait for a long time immediately stood up, bent their bows and arrows, and made smooth movements. There was no sloppiness, which showed that they had been trained. Well done.
The next moment, arrows shot through the sky and flew towards Li Ziye in the middle of the mountain road.
"Awesome and powerful energy!"
In the middle of the mountain road, Li Ziye's expression darkened when he saw this, and his true energy surged out of his body.
The sound of arrow rain and the collision of awe-inspiring aura sounded, clanking, and countless arrows fell to the ground.
"Lulu!"
At this moment, Li Ziye's horse was hit by an arrow and fell down with a scream.
"Boom!"
The horse fell on the mountain road and dust flew up.
Li Ziye jumped up and rushed forward with his sword.
"shield!"
On the hillside, heavy shields were erected one by one, blocking the sharp edge of the sword.
"lance!"
Then, from behind the heavy shield, a long spear stretched out and stabbed Li Ziye in front.
Well-trained elite soldiers, there is no stagnation between offense and defense.
Changsha approached, Li Ziye stepped on it and jumped up, intending to jump over the heavy shield from above.
"shield!"
At this time, the heavy shield changed direction and blocked the soldiers.
"lance!"
Then, a long spear stretched out from the gap and stabbed the young man in the sky.
In the air, Li Ziye saw this and swung his sword, cutting off the long branch. Then he stepped hard on the heavy shield.
With a thud, the soldiers below could not bear the huge force and knelt down.
The heavy shield tilted, and there was a momentary flaw. Li Ziye swung the long sword in his hand and sealed his throat with one sword.
Blood splattered and stained the heavy shield red.
"Wai!"
However.
At this moment, the formations of the surrounding soldiers changed again, and the heavy shields fell to the ground, trapping Li Ziye who broke into the shield formation in the middle.
Then, the long spear thrust out, ruthlessly killing him.
In the middle of the shield array, Li Ziye moved around to avoid the attacks one after another. He swung his long sword in his hand and struck the heavy shield, forcing the soldiers behind him to retreat.
only.
When one soldier was injured and retired, new soldiers immediately came to make up the place, and the formation was not disrupted at all.
"What a tacit cooperation."
In front of the mountain road, Hongzhu saw the scene ahead and said in a solemn voice.
Xiao Ziye's cultivation level has reached the third level, and he is more than capable of dealing with ordinary masters. However, he did not expect that it would be so difficult to face these elite soldiers and generals.
"This is no ordinary elite."
On the side, Qin Grace's eyes flashed with a deep look, and she said, "Ordinary elite soldiers cannot have such strong combat effectiveness. These soldiers obviously have a strong foundation in martial arts, and with intensive training, their combat power is far beyond ordinary. Soldiers."
"It's not far from Yuzhou City, and there aren't many troops stationed there."
After hearing the words of the Plum Blossom Sword Immortal beside her, Hongzhu's expression condensed and she said, "There is only one army with such combat power, the Black Water Army!"
The Blackwater Army is directly dispatched by the imperial court. It is known as the elite among the elite and is extremely powerful.
"Um."
Qin Wegna nodded and said, "This is the only possibility."
"What should we do now?"
Hongzhu stared at the battle ahead and asked, "Xiao Ziye may not be able to handle so many people on his own. Let me go and help."
"Need not."
Qin Wegna held Qingshuang in her hand and said coldly, "I'll do it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Grace got off her horse and walked towards the mountain road ahead.
On the mountain road, Li Ziye faced the siege of a thousand Blackwater Army soldiers alone. Although the situation was not at a disadvantage, the fight was still very difficult. For a while, it was difficult to break through the Blackwater Army soldiers' defense.
"Li Ziye, get out of the way."
At this time, Qin Grace came over and said.
In the middle of the shield array, Li Ziye looked startled when he heard the words. He quickly recovered, stepped on his feet, and forced his way out.
The distance had just been widened, and behind the shield soldiers, the archers immediately bent their bows.
"shield!"
However, this moment.
The expression of the general who led the troops changed, and he immediately ordered the defense without hesitation.
The three hundred shield soldiers heard the order, dropped their heavy shields to the ground, and defended with all their strength.
But see you.
Ten feet away, the human sword fairy stepped forward, with a green frost in his hand, and he unsheathed it with a sound.
A moment later, the sword came out and the wind and clouds moved.
A shocking sword with a length of thirty feet and an indescribable terrifying force, it struck directly on the three hundred heavy shield.
"Boom!"
In the shocking collision, the three hundred shields shattered, blood splattered all over the sky, and the mountain road was completely dyed red.
An astonishing scene, the human swordsman severely damaged three hundred shield soldiers of the Black Water Army with one sword.
The general who took the order was hit by this force and took several steps back. His eyes narrowed when he looked at the woman in front of him. Without any hesitation, he quickly ordered, "Retreat!"
In the rear, the remaining soldiers heard the order and immediately retreated, obeying the orders and prohibiting them, and showed no hesitation in fighting.
Li Ziye was about to give chase, but was stopped by Qin Grace.
"Don't chase the poor bandits!"
Qin Grace reminded her. Suddenly, her body shook, and a trace of blood silently dripped from the corner of her mouth.
The serious injury was not healed, and he forced his Qi into use, which eventually caused the old injury.
Li Ziye saw the blood on the corner of Master Xianzi's mouth, his expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "We will arrive at Yuzhou City soon. Master Xianzi, hold on."
