Song Qian opened the sword formation, and many iron swords floated in the air, emitting a faint blue halo, and then continuously fired sword energy toward the center of the black cloak.
Song Qian himself jumped down from the city gate, holding a flying sword, and rushed into the crowd to fight. Chen Xueyun led the militia team to the side gate and flanked them from the side, interfering with the Black Cloak's progress.
Song Qian's giant sword technique and split sword technique were used together to directly kill a large number of black cloaks.
Jing Yu kept providing iron swords to the sword array and replaced the broken iron swords. Qiao Xu rode Huang out of the city and joined the battle. Ningqu stood by to help, providing a large amount of spiritual power to the sword array.
Jiang Xiao led the escort team from another side door to surround the black cloak.
In an instant, the battlefield was in chaos. The black cloaks were scattered by the two sudden teams, losing their basic formation. And Song Qian directly fought his way through it, one person and one sword moving freely between heaven and earth.
The sword energy of the sword array directly cut a deep mark in the sand. Ningqu freed up a hand to release an ice wall in the open space to block the black cloak's spell.
Jing Yu saw that the opponent's number was reduced sharply, so he stood on the city wall and set up a blunderbuss to snipe, and shot through the heart.
Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the battlefield is so cruel. Fortunately, the entire Duangchang County can be defended for an hour, otherwise the six men of Dingmingsi would not be able to defend it.
…
A few days later.
Everyone came to Hejiang County in Liangzhou. The people here are simple and simple, and there is no intrigue. Already filled with exotic customs that were completely different from those in Dalin, Jing Yu thought of a poem called "Glow-in-the-dark Grape Wine Cup."
The situation in Hejiang County is much better than that in Shuzhou. Life is prosperous and there is no harassment from foreign enemies. The escort agency transported the official rations to the county government office, and everyone was ready to go on the road.
At this moment, Jing Yu heard a shout. The person who came was an old farmer selling local specialties. He knew that these people came from the Central Plains to support Hejiang, so he was particularly enthusiastic.
"I have my own melon fields and vineyards. Here are the grapes that I planted myself. My lords have come all the way, so please accept them." The old farmer took out a bag of purple grapes that were as clear as gems.
Jing Yu declined politely: "We'll be on the road soon. I'm afraid it won't be easy to preserve on the road, so just keep it for yourself."
"Take the road? Don't."
Jing Yu frowned: "Why?"
The old farmer hesitated and said: "Because recently, a rare sandworm has appeared in the desert outside the city. It is as thick as a big tree, and its mouth is like a bottomless pit. Ordinary people are afraid that they have no chance of survival."
"But the official rations have to wait for us to deliver them. We can't let it go on like this. Can Sandworm be as powerful as the Western Demon Kingdom? Don't worry, we can protect ourselves." Jing Yu patted his chest.
The old farmer was speechless and could only pray silently in his heart.
A group of people walked into the desert under the scorching sun. At first it was quiet, and no movement could be heard, only the occasional tumbleweed and a few lizards passing by.
Jing Yu looked at this scene and recalled the desert area he entered for the first time.
Huang's vision was relatively sharp, and he noticed that the sand pile in the distance was squirming, as if something was about to break out of the ground. He immediately narrated the incident to the others. Without saying a word, Jing Yu pointed the blunderbuss at the sand pile and fired.
The squirming creature felt the pain and dived directly into the sand, not appearing again for a while.
Everyone started walking again and didn't stop to rest until they reached the next oasis.
The sand pile in the distance squirmed again, and this time even Jing Yu discovered the smooth surface in the sand pile. It was sandworms!
The sandworm seemed to know who had hit it just now, and it was swimming quickly towards Ding Mingji and others. Song Qian slashed down with his sword, hitting the sandworm directly with his sword, but was bounced back by its hard shell. The sandworms went berserk and began to attack indiscriminately, shattering the rocks on the surface.
Song Qian used a sword move to imitate the method of killing a snake and hit the sandworm within seven inches, but it bounced back again.
Now everyone started to feel scared. This sandworm had ordinary strength, but its shell was hard, making it difficult to break through its defense. The sandworm came out directly from underneath, circled in the air and then landed. Jing Yu discovered that it actually looked like an earthworm.
Song Qian released his aura, a powerful force of pure energy, and slashed out with his sword. The light of the sword was like a shadow, directly cutting a gap in the sandworm's body. Ningqu then took the opportunity to insert the ice pick into the gap. The sandworm howled in pain and green blood flowed out of the gap.
Song Qian sheathed his sword and switched to storing it.
The sandworm pounced on Song Qian with all its strength, opening its bloody mouth. Song Qian stepped forward and drew his sword. The dazzling fire penetrated the sandworm's body and turned it into powder.
"Sandworms are nothing more than that." Jing Yu felt that the old farmer was exaggerating.
…
It was the round table again, and the person in the shadow said: "I heard that the guy with half of his body still alive went to Dalin again?"
"Obviously he went to take revenge. It is said that after this catastrophe of life and death, his realm is infinitely close to the ninth level, only one step away." Another person said.
…
From desert to desert, Jing Yu understood that their trip was about to reach the end.
Through the heat waves emanating from the ground, he vaguely saw a figure walking towards here in the twisted air. That figure was extremely familiar to Jing Yu, it was the unknown bronze-colored mysterious man.
"No, it's him again!" Jing Yu kept backing away, his face pale.
Song Qian and others looked along his line of sight, and it turned out to be the mysterious man from the desert realm. They happened to be in the Western Region now, and this was his home court...
The mysterious man waved his hand gently, and ten earth dragons flew over. Song Qian immediately slashed out a sword, and the sword energy scattered the earth dragons. The mysterious man raised his eyebrows, took a step forward, and came directly to the crowd more than ten inches away, and there were ten more earth dragons.
Ningqu pulled out the paper umbrella, summoned the ice dragon, and confronted it.
"He is now close to the ninth level. It is difficult for us to have a chance of winning." Song Qian spit out a mouthful of blood. His luck had been too much just now, and his body suffered backlash.
Jing Yu took out two iron halberds and threw them out. The mysterious man felt a little confused when he saw the metal appearing out of thin air in Jing Yu's hands.
Tu Long blocked Jing Yu's attack, and Ning Qu took this opportunity to release an ice wall, directly blocking the mysterious man's sight.
Song Qian decisively drank the medicinal wine and began to release his full potential.
The mysterious man kicked up a sand curtain, then teleported to the back of the crowd, intending to attack the weaker members of the escort team first. Jiang Xiao tried to stop him, but it was too late. Several weak bodyguards were directly shattered by the mysterious man's pressure and were crushed to pieces alive.
Jiang Xiao was in great pain and slashed out with his knife. The mysterious man blocked it with one finger and threw it aside.
Song Qian stabbed out a hundred swords directly. The sword light collided with the mysterious man's fist, and a powerful aura erupted.
Jing Yu and Chen Xueyun were directly knocked away.
Jiang Xiao watched helplessly as his brother from the escort team was killed by a mysterious man, and an unknown fire ignited in his heart. He just held a simple knife and hacked at random. Jing Yu wanted to stop him, but found that his foot had just hit a rock and was swollen, making him unable to move. (To be continued)
