C704 The Battle of Iron Ridge(2)
... "Everyone, listen up, prepare to escape as quickly as possible"2
Loong Qi hurriedly turned around and shouted at the troops behind him. The tip of the spiritual energy crossbow in the army of Great Wei shone with a bright light. That was the sign that the spiritual energy crossbow had been fully charged. The huge black panther just now was clearly just a cover. It was the true killing weapon of Great Wei. It was obvious that the cost of building this was expensive, but the effect it could play was proportionate to the cost of building the spiritual energy crossbow.
Although Loong Qi's order was very fast, all of these were within Yang Xuan's expectation. Since he already knew that Loong Qi would make his subordinates retreat, how could Yang Xuan let them escape so easily?
Before the heavy cavalry troops could get off their horses, the first spiritual crossbow had already been shot out. It landed in the heavy cavalry's main troops, and it was one to two of the cavalry soldiers who attacked the Barbarian Clan with their spears. Compared to a string of three arrows, the power of the spiritual crossbow was much more terrifying.
One had to know that with the enhancement of the Spiritual Force, the arrow could not only have a strong penetrative force, but also a powerful penetrating force. Furthermore, when the tip of the arrow made from spirit stone came into contact with the ground or enemy soldiers, it would explode. After the first arrow fell into the group of heavy cavalry soldiers, a deafening explosion sounded. A huge hole appeared on the ground, where the arrow landed. About 500 soldiers had lost their combat strength because of this.
And that was not the end. After the spiritual shield on Loong Qi's body was broken through by the shockwave from the explosion, before he could condense the spiritual shield a second time, a second arrow was shot out. Once again, it fell into the crowd. It was unknown whether the crossbowman controlling the spiritual energy crossbow could do it or not, but this time... The bolt landed right next to Loong Qi's feet. Although Loong Qi's strength had already reached the Early Fourth Stage, after the spiritual energy crossbow exploded, Loong Qi was still hit by the powerful airwave, and was sent flying on the spot.
Loong Qi got up from the ground and patted the dust off his body. Although he was in a very sorry state, and there were even some weeds in his hair, but it wasn't fatal. However, the Barbarian Soldier that was standing beside him just now wasn't so lucky. Looking around, at the place where the arrow landed, another few hundred soldiers fell to the ground. They had lost their fighting ability.
A figure slowly walked out from behind the camp. When the soldiers saw him, they hurriedly took a few steps back and made a path for him.
Seeing this strange scene, Loong Qi couldn't help but raise his head and look over curiously. He saw a handsome man walking out from the crowd. There was a small black leopard squatting on his shoulder. The Black Panther looked really strange, even though it had its eyes closed. The tail behind it was also dangling towards the ground. However, no matter how much the man swayed when he walked, it did not matter. The Black Panther didn't move from the beginning to the end, as if it had taken root on the man's shoulder.
"Who are you?"
Loong Qi asked. Although he had been under orders to come to Barbarian Clan for a short period of time to recruit soldiers, however, he had met all the generals of the Great Wei in the past when he was in Profound Gate Pass. However, the man in front of him was a stranger to him. Loong Qi quickly recalled the man in front of him. However, he couldn't find any information related to the man. However, judging from the man's attitude, he shouldn't be a nobody in the army.
When he was only 200 meters away from Loong Qi, the man stopped. He had a faint smile on his face. Although there was quite a distance between him and Loong Qi, what Loong Qi said just now... Apparently the man heard it. The man opened his mouth and only said two words, "Yang Xuan."
"You are Yang Xuan?!"
When Loong Qi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then the expression on his face became ferocious. He pointed at Yang Xuan and said, "You are the one who was wanted by the Martial Hall to be assassinated, which made my teacher carry the joke of bullying the weak. And the Yang Xuan who once caused our Barbarian Clan's army to suffer a great loss outside Profound Gate Pass? "
Yang Xuan did not continue to speak, but he still nodded slightly and said, "Why? Do you think that I have wronged your master and want to take revenge for him?"
"Hmph."
Loong Qi coldly harrumphed and said to Yang Xuan." Hmph, it's you who has ruined my master's reputation."
Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment. Of course, he didn't know about the old man who was sent by the Barbarian Clan to assassinate him. It was Grand Elder from the Barbarian Clan's Martial Hall. After Grand Elder failed to assassinate Yang Xuan, he felt ashamed. After returning to the Barbarian Country, he took down his position as the Martial Hall's Grand Elder. He also chose to cultivate in seclusion, and had yet to come out of seclusion. As for Grand Elder, who had been stuck at the Sixth Stage for many years, he attacked a Fifth Stage junior with the strength to bully the weak. Furthermore, he had chosen to assassinate him, and he had even lost his hand. Although not many people knew about this matter, in a small circle, it had even become a joke.
Loong Qi was Grand Elder's disciple. Now that he had met this person who had embarrassed his master... * Hong Long...... * However, he also knew that although Yang Xuan wasn't very old, he was a famous cultivation genius of Great Wei. His strength was naturally not something he could compare with. However, amongst the people present, Loong Qi wasn't the only disciple of Grand Elder.
Loong Qi took out a large blade from somewhere and shouted behind him, "Senior brothers, this is the Yang Xuan who embarrassed Master. Everyone, let's attack together and kill him to rectify Master's name. "
"What? He's Yang Xuan?"
The first person to react was Ator, although compared to the other Trooper Lord, * Hong Long...... * His strength had already reached the Mid Fifth Stage, so his five senses were naturally stronger than the other Trooper Lord. Therefore, he had already heard the conversation between Loong Qi and Yang Xuan clearly.
At the same time, the other Trooper Lord also reacted quickly. They took out their weapons one after another. Although they hadn't charged at Yang Xuan yet, they still looked at him with unfriendly eyes.
Yang Xuan looked coldly at the Trooper Lord that was approaching him. He took out the wooden sword from the storage bag. He held it in his hand. Besides Saltus, who had lost his life in the Falling Blade Cliff, there were still 19 Trooper Lord left in the Barbarian Clan. Among them, the weakest one was at least at the Fourth Stage. Yang Xuan's facial expression became serious. He knew that... What's waiting for him is going to be a tough fight.
Even if his strength was much stronger than any of the nineteen men in front of him, the nineteen of them were at least Fourth Stage. Including four cultivators who were above the Fifth Stage, it wouldn't be easy for him to deal with them.
"You won't be able to escape."
Loong Qi wasn't the strongest amongst them, but he was the most courageous one. He waved his blade and rushed towards Yang Xuan.
