The blood in Ji Liao's mouth couldn't stop flowing. The blood soaked his eyes, making the world in front of him blood red. His chest heaved violently, and his breathing was rapid and heavy.
He never imagined that he would be injured to such an extent in just one encounter with a middle-stage Jindan monk. At this time, he only felt that his vitality was gradually disappearing, his brain was dizzy, and everything in front of him gradually blurred.
Huo Liuli flew down and happened to land beside Ji Liao. She stepped on a pool of blood with one of her jade feet, then gently raised her foot and stepped on Ji Liao's head.
"Boy, aren't you very brave? How can you say this now?"
Huo Liuli looked down at Ji Liao with a cold tone and a strange red light in his eyes.
Ji Liao's head was stepped on by Huo Liuli and he couldn't move at all. His eyes rolled upward, and the blood-soaked eyes made him look particularly ferocious and terrifying at this moment.
"Hehehe, if you have the guts, give your grandpa a good time. If I hum, I will be your child." Ji Liao said with a hoarse voice and gritted his teeth.
"Huh? How can you still be so arrogant when death is imminent? If only you Shendong people had half the backbone of you..."
The corners of Huo Liuli's mouth raised, and she didn't know if she was praising Ji Liao or something else. She immediately put a little more strength on her feet.
Just listen to the sound of clicking coming from Huo Liuli's feet.
Ji Liaodun felt a sharp pain in his head, and blood spurted out from his seven orifices.
"You were so brave to kill Elder Zeng in front of me. Do you think I will end your life in the same way today?"
Huo Liuli still said calmly, but at this moment, her heart was like a river bursting its banks, and the anger and depression that had been suppressed for a year poured out at this moment.
"If you...want to kill, just kill...what's the matter?" Ji Liao said in a weak tone.
However, his hand was groping unnoticeably. His fingers trembled slightly, until he touched a place where his hand stopped, and an aura of light was unnoticeably directed at that place. The stone platform under his hand immediately twisted, and then unexpectedly It's as weird as cotton, sinking in by an inch.
"what are you doing..."
"If that's the case, then you and I will die together!"
Huo Liuli noticed the movements of Ji Liao's hands, and a strange light flashed in her eyes. She was about to say something, but was interrupted by a cold voice.
But he saw that the Ling Ji that Ji Liao had been holding suddenly appeared. With a move of his hand, the Ling Ji was firmly embedded in it.
Just when Ji Liao's chest was pierced by a bird's hairpin, Ji Liao had already imprinted all the formation diagrams in his mind, and was thinking quickly about where the formation's eyes were.
But there was no time for him to think about it at that time. When the bird's hairpin flew back, Ji Liao gritted his teeth and pounced towards one of the squares.
He wasn't sure whether this was the formation's eye, so he just followed his understanding of the formation and pounced on it based on his feeling.
Here, it was obvious that he had made the right bet this time. After groping for a moment without being noticed, he finally found the location of the formation eye.
Huo Liuli's heart suddenly jumped when she saw Ji Liao's actions. Her calm and relaxed expression was gone, and her demonic eyes flashed with a fierce look.
"You dare me, boy!"
"Why don't you dare!"
"Go to hell!"
The fire-glazed jade foot was raised high, as if it was about to be stepped down with one foot.
Suddenly, a buzzing sound resounded in this space, and the entire stone platform shook.
The next moment, in the spirit pole, streaks of milky white spiritual energy filled the air and spread rapidly along more than a hundred horizontal and vertical grooves.
The buzzing sound was endless, but within a few breaths, the milky white spiritual light spread to the entire stone platform. The next moment, the spiritual patterns in each square also lit up, and rays of light rose into the sky.
Huo Liuli's expression changed drastically. She knew that this was an ancient formation that had been activated. She glanced at Ji Liao who was in a pool of blood and stepped down hard on his foot.
Ji Liao felt a strong wind blowing from his head, and his heart was desolate.
"it's over!"
Just when Huo Liuli's feet were only a few inches away from Ji Liao's head, the stone platform beneath them suddenly trembled, and then a machine-like sound of clicking sounded. The next moment, the surface of the stone platform began to change. The squares began to rise and fall at random, rising and falling according to a strange pattern.
Huo Liuli's figure became unstable and fell backward.
She was startled, red light suddenly rose from her body, and her body instantly rushed into the air.
Turning back to look at Ji Liao on the stone platform, she couldn't help but pointed at Ji Liao with her hand.
"Buzz!"
Before she could do anything, she heard four buzzing and trembling sounds, and four milky-white light curtains rose into the air at the edge of the stone platform, instantly enveloping the entire stone platform.
"not good!"
Huo Liuli's eyes flashed with fear, and she exclaimed in her heart. She couldn't care less about Ji Liao. He stopped his movements and hit one side of the light curtain in a flash.
"boom!"
Huo Liuli's figure instantly collided with the light curtain, causing a loud roar.
The milky white light curtain trembled, and then it shook violently and a majestic force reflected on it, hitting Huo Liuli directly.
Huo Liuli was hit by this huge force. Even though she was already in the middle stage of Jindan cultivation, she couldn't bear it. She groaned and flew backwards several feet away before she stabilized her body.
Huo Liuli's enchanting eyes swept back and forth around, alert to changes in the surroundings.
"Hahaha, bitch, come and kill me!" At this time, Ji Liao's laughter came from the stone platform below.
The fierce light in Huo Liuli's eyes surged out again, and he gritted his teeth and angrily said, "Since you are bent on seeking death, I will give you a ride."
After saying that, he dragged a long rainbow and swooped towards Ji Liao.
The square grid of the stone platform below sometimes rises and sometimes falls, with a continuous clicking sound.
break.
Ji Liao only felt as if he was being thrown up in the air and hit hard again and again. Sometimes the stone platform would rise again before he even landed, hitting his body and pushing him up.
At the moment when the two were approaching, the movement of the entire stone platform suddenly stagnated. For a moment, everything in the milky white light curtain seemed to be still. Huo Liuli was frozen in mid-air with an angry expression, while Ji Liao also had a ferocious look on his face. Fire glass.
The two just kept this posture and looked at each other from a distance in the void.
After a moment, the milky-white light curtain trembled, and the void twisted slightly. The entire milky-white light curtain turned into a vortex, twisted and sucked into the void and disappeared.
The moment the milky white light curtain disappeared, the sound of clicking came again from the stone platform. All the rising stone pillars slowly fell down and returned to their original peaceful appearance. For a while, the entire space became calm, as if nothing happened.
...
...
The sky was dark, and thick black smoke rose into the sky. The smell of blood and gunpowder smoke mixed together and lingered in the void for a long time.
Under the city of Surabaya, war horses neighed and crowds of people surged. There were no less than a hundred thousand soldiers wearing armor and holding swords in their hands.
Each of these soldiers had stern expressions, and a surging and terrifying murderous intention filled the sky and the earth.
The walls of Sishui City were filled with soldiers from the Liang Kingdom. These soldiers looked solemn, with crossbows drawn in their hands like a full moon, and the tip of their swords pointed directly at the Zhao army formation below.
The relationship between Liang and Zhao had been forged ten years ago. More than ten years later, the new army of the Liang State happened to succeed to the throne. When the country was in turmoil, the Zhao State sent troops to attack the Liang State in one fell swoop, destroying eight of the Liang Kingdoms in an instant. city.
At present, the soldiers of the State of Zhao have reached Surabaya. If this city is also captured by the State of Zhao, then the capital of the State of Liang will be close at hand, and the defeat of the State of Liang will be just around the corner.
However, Surabaya City is an important pass of the Liang State. The city is extremely solidly built, and the guard guarding the Surabaya City is Murong Xiao, a famous general of the Liang State. Therefore, the momentum of the Zhao State's rapid advance came to an abrupt end here, and Surabaya City was trapped. It's been more than two months and still can't be defeated.
At this time, a tall chariot in the Zhao Guo Ten Thousand Army Formation creaked slowly forward, and finally landed in front of the Ten Thousand Army Formation. An old man wearing a silver helmet and silver armor with a gray beard stood on the chariot. stand up.
The old man stroked his beard, looked at an old man on the wall who was similar in age but had extremely sharp eyes and laughed loudly, "Brother Murong, now Li's army has surrounded Sishui City. In the past few months, the number of people in Sishui City has increased." Life must be hard, you and I have known each other for decades, why don't you, Brother Murong, abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, open the city gate and let my army in, and Li will promise not to harm a single brick in the Sishui City."
Murong Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced down at Li Zhongguo, who was also a famous general of Zhao State, and smiled coldly, "Humph, Li Zhongguo, don't think that I don't know what your plans are. If you have the ability, just come in. Surabaya City will never be defeated." I will not surrender to your Zhao country."
The corner of Li Zhongguo's mouth raised, "Brother Murong, now you are just struggling to death. Li guessed that there must be no more food in Surabaya City. It is estimated that in another month, Surabaya City will eat human flesh. Could it be Murong? Brother, don’t you want to see this scene?”
"You don't have to worry about what's going on in Surabaya City. If you have the guts, just come in. If you can't, just back off." Upon hearing this, Murong Xiao's face suddenly showed an angry look, and he immediately shouted coldly.
The expression on Li Zhongguo's face froze slightly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"Why are my father telling him this? Today I will let my son go out to fight and see if he, old Murong, dares to accept the challenge."
At this time, a young man, about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing sharp armor, holding a long spear, and holding a long spear, stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said.
Li Zhongguo was in his sixtieth year and had six children. The other five children were all useless. Only the youngest son stood out. Although he was young, he had been familiar with the art of war since he was a child and had followed him in battles for many years. He was only ten years old. At the age of nine, he already had a unique attitude.
Li Zhongguo looked at his youngest son and couldn't help but feel fond of him. When he saw him stepping forward to call for battle, Li Zhongguo hesitated a little.
He has trained this son as his future successor. If anything happens here, there will be no regrets.
However, after thinking about it, it might not be a good thing for him if he was allowed to grow up under his protection, so he nodded and said, "Yao Zu, be careful with everything."
Li Yaozu's face suddenly lit up with excitement, and he quickly raised his hand, "Thank you, handsome father."
Then he spurred his horse on his hip, holding a spear, and rushed towards the front of the Ten Thousand Army Formation.
"I am Li Yaozu, under the command of General Li Zhongguo of the State of Zhao. Is there anyone from the Liang State who dares to come forward and challenge me?" When he arrived at the gate of Surabaya City, Li Yaozu raised his silver spear high and shouted while looking up at the city of Surabaya.
