Originally, Xuan Jia's physical body was already very powerful, and even the "Gun God" Lin Ye didn't dare to say that he could break through his defense in a very short period of time.
However, under Lin Yan's blade, that indestructible body was actually broken!
Xuan Jia's body suddenly fell to the ground, bright red blood continued to gush out, his eyes began to become blurred, and soon he was breathing out more and taking in less air.
"call……"
Lin Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, then stood up with a knife and said calmly: "Who else is there!"
At this moment, the atmosphere in the field suddenly stagnated, and the white-clothed people of Xuantian Sect even had an illusion: The man in front of them could stop thousands of troops with one sword!
Xuan Jin's face was gloomy, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "You forced me to do this! In this case, there is no need to be secretive. Chang'an will definitely belong to my sect today!"
After he finished speaking, he took something out of his arms and lit it, then flew up into the sky and exploded, depicting the appearance of a Xuantian sword.
"It's a message from Xuantian Sect. What kind of backup plan does he have?" Lin Ye, the "Gun God" who fought with him, and others recognized the message, but they couldn't guess Xuan Jin's true intention.
Now with Lin Yan's strong entry, Xuantian Sect's seven Xiantian realm elders have lost two of them and are unable to suppress the Tang army.
Moreover, the "Spider Web" killer's surprise attack and the arrows containing the "Zhen Yuan Stone" also caused a lot of damage to the white-clothed people. It seems that Xuantian Sect's plan has begun to slide towards the abyss of failure.
However, judging from Xuan Jin's appearance, this matter is obviously not that simple and will not end easily!
Sure enough, as Xuantian's long sword shone in the night sky, there seemed to be shouts of death coming from a distance, and dots of fire instantly illuminated the night sky.
"That's the direction of Chang'an City Gate!" "Gun God" Lin Ye said.
The outer city and the inner city were quite far apart, and the imperial city was still in the inner city. Lin Ye just observed some clues with his amazing eyesight.
Xuan Jin sneered: "Do you still remember the eight thousand white-clothed attack on Chang'an? Today, I will let you recall the fear at that time again!"
"Gun God" Lin Ye's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this, and then his chest was swallowed up by boundless anger.
"It's too much!"
That incident has always been a shame to the Tang State, and it was also a pain for the Tang soldiers. It was a scar on their bodies and a slap on their faces. No one in the Tang Dynasty can forget that failure!
Nowadays, Xuantian Sect still wants to repeat the incident of "breaking Chang'an in white clothes". Do you really think they are fooled!
As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an naturally had a very strong defense force. However, Xuantian Sect's arrangements in the city during this period were not without merit.
Although Emperor Tang cleared some of Xuantian Sect's secrets in the city after getting rid of control, the time was too tight and it was impossible to clean them up. And these people are bound to cause trouble in today's chaos!
…
At the south city gate, because of the secret cooperation of the Xuantian Sect, the generals guarding the city were assassinated, and the city gate was in chaos. The white-clothed men below the city seized the opportunity, and it was only a matter of time before the city was broken.
At the west city gate, there was no too fierce fighting here, but the city gate was already wide open, welcoming the white-clothed men to march straight in.
The general who defends the city here, Shi Kui, is an old ally of Prince Jianyuan and escaped the original liquidation. Now that the prince has returned with the help of the Xuantian Sect, if he conquers the city in one fell swoop, he will be a minister of the Dragon and enjoy the glory and wealth. Endless.
As an official in a place like Chang'an, the most important thing for climbing up is not your own ability, but whether you can stand in line.
Those who think that as long as they have the ability, they will be reused and can get ahead, they are the ones who have never experienced the beating of reality and can only talk about it!
Shi Xu has a clear understanding of himself. If he wants to get rid of his identity as the leader of the city guards and truly enter the center of power in the Tang Dynasty, he needs an opportunity, an opportunity to soar into the sky! He believed that this was the moment he had been waiting for!
With the help of Xuantian Sect, no matter how wise and powerful Tang Emperor Li Junlin was, he could not escape defeat in the end!
As for whether the Tang State would be secretly controlled by Xuantian Sect in the future, that was not something he had to consider. After all, he is just a minister, serving the emperor. Whoever becomes the emperor is not important to him. What matters is only his own interests!
The resistance at the east city gate was the fiercest. The soldiers guarding the city fought to the death with the white-clothed men who came to invade. There were countless dead bodies and the blood stained the ground red.
The situation at the North City Gate was similar, but the resistance of the Tang Army soldiers did not have much effect.
The gap between the south gate and the west gate is the most fatal loophole. The so-called strongest defense often disintegrates from the inside. Now that the men in white clothes have entered the city, even if the East City Gate and North City Gate are finally defended, it doesn't mean much!
At this time, the people in the city were naturally alarmed. In fact, they had been paying attention to the development of the situation since the attack on the imperial city.
However, due to their status, most people did not know what happened. They only knew that a fierce battle took place near the imperial city.
The only people who really understand the inside story of the battle are the powerful princes and some nobles in the court, but these people are watching, waiting for the winner to appear.
Call them "assessing the situation" or call them "weeds on the wall". In short, these people probably won't make any big moves until things become clear.
As for the people, although they don't understand what's going on in the city, their instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages is still there. Chang'an City is full of big shots. To put it mildly, if a brick is slapped on the street, it may hit the grandson of a high official or the princess of a prince's family.
The people living here know better what it means to "do things that have nothing to do with themselves, just hang on high." This is not indifference, but a way to protect themselves. Only by staying out of their own business can they survive here as the bottom class.
To the big shots in Chang'an City, the common people are like ants. A single sneeze may destroy their families!
However, this time the white-clothed men invaded Chang'an in a large scale, and no one in the city could stay away!
Those big shots are still useful to Xuantian Sect. Even if they support the puppet Jianyuan to ascend the throne, they still need the princes in the court to maintain stability. Therefore, the order given to the people in white is not to take action against those people unless necessary.
To put it simply, as long as those people know how to assess the situation and don't seek death by getting involved in this matter, then there is a high probability that everything will be fine!
As for the people in the city, it doesn't matter. They are just ants anyway, and it won't be a big deal if they are crushed to death!
Xue Nichang and others originally headed straight towards the palace, but when they were halfway there, they met a group of people in white clothes.
These men in white came in through the west gate. They originally reached a deal with the guard of the west gate, Shi Ji, and were put into the city in batches.
At this moment, Xue Nichang and others also looked stunned, thinking: "Has the outer city been breached?"
But after thinking about it, Xue Nishang quickly discovered something was abnormal, because these white-clothed people were in neat formation, and there were no traces of fighting on their bodies.
Even the white-clothed men of the Xuantian Sect cannot easily wipe out all the soldiers guarding the outer city. If that were the case, what qualifications would the Tang State have to stand firm for so many years!
In this case, there is only one possibility: "Someone among the generals guarding the city has rebelled!"
Ordinary soldiers cannot do this kind of thing. If you want to let outsiders into Chang'an City without anyone noticing, you must be the chief guard of the city.
"Looking at the direction they came from, the problem should be at the West City Gate." Xue Nichang said.
"What a bunch of bastards! The guard of the west city gate should be called Shi Ji, a shameful traitor!" Pei Yan said bitterly.
"It's useless to talk more. Now that we've met them, we have to stop them here!" Xue Nichang said solemnly.
"Yes! The general takes the order!" Regarding his lady's words, Pei Yan naturally followed the order unswervingly. However, the number of the other party is several times theirs, and there should be people in white clothes coming from behind. Can they really stop it with just these people?
Xue Nishang said to Ming Ya and others on the side: "Ming Ya, you are not from our Tang country. The situation is out of control at this time. The enemy is quite powerful. If the situation goes bad, you should get out immediately. There is no need. Stay here and die!"
Ming Ya did not answer, but asked: "What about you?"
Xue Nichang said: "You know, I have always had a dream, that is to become an outstanding general like my father, wearing armor and galloping on the battlefield. How can I retreat in the face of war?"
Ming Ya nodded, not commenting on Xue Nichang's suggestion that she should retreat alone.
The white-clothed men on the other side had obviously discovered Xue Nichang and others. They entered the city as an advance force. Logically speaking, they should not alarm anyone. Who would have thought that they would encounter the Tang army here.
After experiencing the initial surprise, the leading elder in white made an instant decision: "Destroy them!"
With their numbers, it would be easy to deal with the small Tang army in front of them!
Without any hesitation, the two sides collided instantly and then fought together...
…
Outside the imperial city, the combat power of the high-level warriors has seriously deviated at this time. Xuantian Sect can no longer rely on the power of Xuan Jin and others to suppress "Gun God" Lin Ye and others.
Xuan Jin shouted: "Back off!"
Then the remaining Xiantian realm elders abandoned their opponents and retreated to the "Xuantian Sword Formation".
Xuan Jin took over the control of the formation and stood in the center, while the other four elders were arranged in four directions. Suddenly, the entire formation suddenly changed, and its power became many times more powerful than before!
"Xuantian Four-pole Formation!"
As the shouts came out, clouds and mist filled the formation, which was the energy steaming from the white-clothed men in the formation. Such a huge amount was added together to form such a spectacular scene.
"Gun God" Lin Ye stood together with Qing and Bai Lao and the others. Four "Spider Web" killers including "Zhidian" also quickly gathered together. "Zhuan Po" who was seriously injured before was also rescued. At this moment, "Duan Shui" was helping Looking at him.
Lin Yan, on the other hand, kept a certain distance from them. He had his own reasons for taking action today, but he did not want to have too many entanglements with these people from the court.
Just feeling the increasingly powerful energy in the formation, everyone on the Tang Army side couldn't help but feel a layer of gloom in their hearts.
"Join forces!" "Gun God" Lin Ye shouted and said to the crowd.
At this point, they are absolutely unable to fight against this formation with their own personal strength. With Xuan Jin presiding over it and four Xiantian realm elders as the cornerstones of the formation, this formation is already quite a terrifying existence!
Hearing what "Gun God" Lin Ye said, the others nodded in agreement. No one would be so arrogant as to attack the formation by himself. That would be the same as seeking death.
For a moment, everyone tensed up and raised their momentum to the best state. In any case, only by resisting Xuan Jin's next move would they have a chance to counterattack.
However, if they can't resist even one move, that's their fate. If you are not strong enough, you can’t blame others, and you don’t have to worry about what’s behind you!
Under the auspices of Xuan Jin, the "Xuantian Four-pole Formation" quickly gathered majestic energy, condensing a bright white giant sword on top of the formation. If it were allowed to fall, the imperial city would be chopped into pieces. In two halves, when the energy escapes, everything will turn into powder.
"Jin Ji—Xuan Tian Breaking Sun Sword!"
As a loud shout came, Xuan Jin swung down the long sword in his hand, and the huge white sword also fell down.
"Don't hold back!" "Gun God" Lin Ye shouted, then he shot out, raised his spear, and said sternly: "The flying dragon breaks the sky!"
Needless to say, the rest of the people had serious expressions on their faces. Under this sword, they truly felt the crisis of life and death. If they were not careful, they would be destroyed physically and mentally. There would be no luck!
The blue and white elders attacked hand in hand, and the seals in their hands were linked together. Then a blue-white ancient energy seal condensed out, and they were driven by them to hit the long white sword.
"Earthshaking!"
"Hiding the Sun" and others were not to be outdone. They combined four famous swords, and then fierce aura radiated from their bodies, with endless killing power.
"Zhuan Po" was seriously injured by Xuan Jia before, but now he took the elixir that squeezed his potential and forcibly restored his combat power again.
Since the effect of this elixir is so overbearing, the price that needs to be paid is naturally not small. At the least, the martial arts realm will be greatly reduced, and in the worst case, the elixir will directly backfire and die.
However, "Zhuan Po" was originally the killer of "Spider Web". Since joining this organization, they have lost their original names, identities and everything in the past. There is only one thing left for them, and that is the mission. !
As long as they can complete their mission, they are willing to pay any price, even their own lives!
"Weeping blood stab!"
In an instant, blood so rich that it almost condensed into substance rose into the sky, and then merged into the attack queue.
Lin Yan was silent for a moment, accumulating strength, and then slashed out with his sword. A huge sword light appeared across the sky and earth, and slashed towards the Xuantian Sect.
"Open the sky!"
Four terrifying attacks collided with the crystal-white giant sword in an instant. A terrifying explosion sounded. Some people's eardrums were directly blown through, and blood flowed down the auricles.
Immediately afterwards, the terrifying energy dissipated, and ordinary Tang soldiers were directly stunned and even killed a large number of them.
Of course, they were only affected, but the backlash against those on both sides was even stronger.
"Gun God" Lin Ye held his spear tightly to support his body so as not to collapse due to weakness.
The two old men, Qing and Bai, were in a sluggish mood, and the other four people, including "Zhiding the Sun", were in terrible condition, especially "Zhuan Po" who was in the worst condition. He was seriously injured to begin with, but it seemed that if he did this again, his life would end!
Lin Yan felt waves of stinging pain in his head at this moment. Frequent use of such methods was not only a huge burden on the body, but also a burden on the soul that ordinary people could not bear.
Nowadays, his body can still rely on the special skills to restore vitality and nourish his body, but the fatigue of his soul cannot be easily recovered!
Of course, the white-clothed people of Xuantian Sect are not feeling well at this moment. After all, there are so many masters joining forces to attack. Even if they have the blessing of a large formation, it is impossible to take over without paying any price!
Xuan Jin spat out a large mouthful of blood, and the other four Xiantian realm elders who were the cornerstones of the formation also had qi and blood surging with sluggish expressions.
Most of the white-clothed disciples who formed the formation could not withstand the force of the counter-shock. Even with the protection of the large formation, many white-clothed disciples were still directly shocked to death.
There was no winner in this confrontation, it could be said that both sides suffered losses, and both sides paid a heavy price!
Xuan Jin gritted his teeth and shouted: "Continue!"
Hearing this, the people in white clothes already had some intention of shrinking back, especially the disciples with low strength.
If this happens again, the elders may not die, but they will definitely not escape this disaster!
However, Xuan Jin spoke, but they did not dare to disobey the order, otherwise they would die faster!
For them, they are now in a dilemma. If they retreat, they will definitely die, but if they advance, they will still have a chance of survival, so they can only bite the bullet and fight!
On the other side, "Gun God" looked back at his companions. Needless to say, the two elders Qingbai and "Zhidian" and others were on the same position and could not retreat.
Then, he turned his attention to Lin Yan. The young man in front of him made a strong move, breaking the Xuantian Sect's suppression and astonishing everyone present!
He paused and said to Lin Yan: "Brother, I have heard your name. If you can still survive after today, I will have a drink with you!"
Lin Yan nodded and said: "Okay!"
Then, the "Gun God" turned his gaze in the direction of Xuan Jin and others, his expression gradually became ferocious, and he said in a cold voice: "Since these thieves are determined to destroy our country, today, we must let them know what it means to be a Tang person." Backbone!"
"Even if I die today, these thieves will not have an easy time. Tang people are all hard-nosed. If they want to take a bite of us, they will have to break a few of their teeth!"
As if there was a tacit understanding between enemies, both camps took action again. In an instant, terrifying energy once again swept across the field, threatening to destroy the world!
After the energy storm, "Gun God" Lin Ye's body was already stained with blood. He rushed to the front and suffered the greatest energy impact!
The situation of the two old men, Qing and Bai, is better, but it is limited. The clothes on their bodies are in tatters, and their arms are hanging weakly. How can they still have the power of high-level warriors?
Lin Yan's bad state was further aggravated at this time, and his head hurt as if it was about to explode. He had overextended his combat power in a very short period of time and was almost on the verge of reaching his limit.
As for the four members of the "Eight Swordsmen of Killing Gods", only "Hiding the Sun" and "Breaking Water" were left, while "Zhuan Po" and "Xuan Jian" died on the spot.
Their realm has not reached the innate level, and even if there are others to share the pressure, it will be difficult for them to survive these successive horrific attacks.
"Broken Water" was able to survive because he was stronger than the other two, and because of the specificity of the famous sword in his hand, which was as gentle as water and absorbed part of the impact.
"Hiding the Sun" silently took off the two famous swords and threw them behind them. Killers have no names, and naturally they don't need to leave a tombstone after they die. They die in the line of duty, and this is their destination.
Xuan Jin suffered a huge impact and was no longer able to maintain the "Xuantian Four-pole Formation". After a loud explosion, the formation shattered, and all the white-clothed men were stained with blood.
Under this impact, the low-level warriors were basically dead, and only a few elders from the Houtian realm survived. Even Xuan Jin, who presided over the formation, was seriously injured.
At this moment, both sides were at their wits end. "Gun God" Lin Ye wanted to stab out his spear and kill Xuan Jin and others, but he couldn't do it.
There is a limit to a person's power. Now that the opponent has been severely injured, his condition is also extremely bad and he is unable to kill Xuan Jin.
On Tang Jun's side, the two old men, Qing and Bai, who were in the best condition, looked at each other alternately, and then immediately took action, attacking Xuan Jin.
Their goal is very clear, that is to kill Xuan Jin, the person who can preside over the formation. As for the others, their strength is not as good as Xuan Jin, and their threat will be greatly reduced.
The two old men, Qing and Bai, were extremely fast, leaving behind a series of afterimages. In an instant, they arrived in front of Xuan Jin and were about to kill him. Suddenly, an old sigh sounded in everyone's ears: "Alas! We’ve finally come this far!”
None of the survivors present are weak, and this voice can affect everyone regardless of distance, which shows that the person coming here is extremely powerful!
The Qing and Bai elders who were charging forward stagnated, as if they had hit an invisible wall of air. No matter how hard they tried, they could not move forward!
Both of them were horrified. When they looked at each other, they could see the fear deep in the other's eyes.
"retreat!"
The sound came again, and then the figures of the two old men, Qing and Bai, flew backwards as if they had been hit hard. The skin on their bodies seemed to have been cut into pieces by a thousand knives, and they fell to the ground hard, their flesh and blood blurred. .
Then, everyone saw a Taoist wearing a white robe coming with a sword, holding a fly whisk, and his eyes were indifferent.
Such a method can be called carefree. If ordinary people saw it, they would probably think that a god has come to earth!
Xuan Jin said in a trembling voice: "Great Elder!"
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that the Taoist who suddenly appeared was actually the great elder of Xuantian Sect. No wonder he has such magnanimity and strength!
This person should have been alive for a long time, but he is not full of gray hair, and his appearance does not look old. It should be a means of maintaining his appearance after he is strong enough to a certain extent.
A large amount of vitality can be fed back to oneself, which can improve body functions and lay the foundation for breakthroughs to higher realms.
For a martial artist, the physical body is the foundation. If the foundation of the physical body is not solid, it would be a foolish dream to explore the top of martial arts!
As the saying goes, "Tall buildings rise from the ground." The more advanced a martial artist is, the more they pay attention to the importance of their physical foundation, because this determines how far their martial arts path can go.
Of course, there are different methods of cultivation in the world. It cannot be ruled out that some people rely on other methods to become among the top experts. It cannot be generalized!
The Taoist known as the "Great Elder" gave Xuan Jin and others a cold look and said, "If you can't handle this, go back and go to the execution hall to receive your punishment."
Xuan Jin and the others were sweating profusely and respectfully responded "Yes"!
Then, the great elder turned his gaze to the Tang army's camp, looked directly at Tang Emperor Li Junlin through everyone, and said: "My name is Xuan Yi, and he is the great elder of Xuantian Sect. I came today to discuss something with Emperor Tang. It’s a matter of fact. I think the prince has the qualities of a wise king and wants to ask the Emperor of Tang to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his throne. I, Zong Ding, will do my best to help and protect the country of Tang. What do you think of your majesty?”
When this was said, everyone in the Tang Army camp was angry. This was a naked threat!
A sect dared to interfere so blatantly in the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty and forced the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to abdicate. He was so arrogant and domineering. Is there any law for the king?
However, everyone's hearts were covered with a layer of gloom. This person's strength is tyrannical, and things like Wang's Law that restrain ordinary people may be just a bunch of bullshit to him!
Rules are made by the strong to restrain the behavior of the weak. If it were the other way around, the strong could break all the rules with one punch. In front of them, these rules would be in vain!
Lin Yan felt the aura of the great elder. It seemed ordinary, but in fact it contained storms and turbulent waves. If he didn't take action, it would be enough. If he did, he would destroy the world!
He felt from the opponent's body a terrifying aura that was no weaker than that of Wang Xuanli, the leader of the Xuantian Sect. This great elder was not something he could compete with at this time!
"Xuan Yi? As the saying goes, 'Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.' This old Taoist who claims to be the only one under Tao is really arrogant to the extreme!"
"But on the other hand, it also shows his extreme confidence in his own strength. This time he took action to control the situation. After all, no one here is his enemy!" Lin Yan thought so , unconsciously clenched the black knife, wondering whether Qiu Lao could deal with this old Taoist priest.
Tang Emperor Li Junlin stood proudly on the city wall, staring at the Great Elder Xuan Yi with stern eyes, and said: "As the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, I will not retreat even half a step!"
He didn't say much, but this short sentence showed his determination!
Xuan Yi sighed, seeming a little regretful, and said: "In this case, I can only use some means, please forgive me, Emperor Tang!"
As soon as the words fell, a terrifying aura suddenly burst out from Xuan Yi's body, and then moved towards the Tang army with pressure.
At the same time, the face of the great elder Xuan Yi suddenly became cold and stern, and he shouted loudly: "Kneel down!"
