From the moment they entered the city, Tian Yunhu and the others had been waiting for their leader to Laoda, but they never expected that the first person to shout that order would be on the other side.
Were we outmaneuvered?
Everyone realized what was happening, yet found it unbelievable.
They've studied the Divine Path Style of Jiangnan for a long time. Only Principal God at the main level can use the Power of Faith to transmit messages. Although Tong Pass is important enough, there might only be one artifact in all of Jiangnan capable of long-distance, real-time communication, and everyone knows it's been used in the Northern Wasteland.
Where did they get this information?
Before they could even think, thousands of crossbow bolts swarmed towards them, and the group quickly unleashed their inner energy to parry with their weapons.
The West Sea Army, blocked outside the city, was stunned. Without their commander inside, they didn't know what to do and stood outside in confusion, not daring to move!
Inside the city, Tian Yunhu and the others, while fending off the crossbow bolts, hurriedly said, " Laoda, activate the divine decree directly and order the army to attack the city! These idiots really think they can wipe us out this way? I've already figured out the locations of those commanders, and I'm 90% confident I can behead them!"
Seeing that Tian Heng didn't move, Tian Yunhu frowned and immediately said, " Laoda, don't worry about casualties. As long as we can wipe out the Fighter Army, our mission will be complete. We'll have plenty of opportunities to replenish our forces in the future."
The anxious voice abruptly stopped, and what silenced Tian Yunhu was a sharp short sword, aimed straight at his throat!
"Isn't it here?" Tian Heng frowned, his blade spinning as he prepared to unleash more power, when four blade beams struck like lightning, forcing him to retreat.
The ones who made the move were the other deputy generals who were part of Tian Yunhu's group.
I see
Tian Yunhu clutched his throat tightly, his eyes filled with boundless resentment.
He said, "How could the other side have gotten advance notice? It turns out the traitor is actually our own Laoda?"
But how did this guy deliver the message?
Although Tian Heng consistently acted as if he was willing to rebel, both his superiors and his own people remained somewhat wary, thus monitoring him to varying degrees. He was never allowed to be alone, so he shouldn't have had the opportunity to leak information.
"As expected, they're still wary of me." Tian Heng sighed as he dodged the fierce attacks of several lieutenants. "You said before that your Ancient Demon parasitized your throat, but it seems that's not the case."
"Heh," Tian Yunhu covered his throat, grinning maliciously, but he didn't immediately join the attack. Instead, he retreated several steps under Zhou Tengbin's cover.
The throat is a vulnerable part of the human body. Even with its strong regenerative abilities, it is difficult to heal a throat injury in a short time. Physical recovery requires stopping the bleeding first, but the throat needs to regulate qi. It cannot be directly stopped, otherwise it will cause suffocation and death. Nor can qi and blood be allowed to flow continuously, otherwise it will not only cause choking but also hinder wound healing.
It usually requires extremely precise control. Even at my current level, it would take at least 15 minutes to stabilize such a large wound on my throat. It may not sound like a long time, but in a battle, that amount of time is enough to kill me a thousand times over.
Snap!
Tian Yunhu broke free from Zhou Tengbin's protective hand, glared fiercely at Tian Heng, and signaled to Zhou Tengbin to leave him alone.
Zhou Tengbin was taken aback, but after years of cooperation, he immediately understood what he meant. All five of them were Transcendent, and although they were surrounded, the enemy did not have enough top experts. Tian Heng was the only one who could match them. As long as they could kill Tian Heng quickly, they would have a chance to break through.
Moreover, after killing Tian Heng, the foundation of the gods will be replaced, and they will become the leaders of the West Sea Army. When they rush out of the city gate and raise their arms, they can still annihilate the Fighter Army in Hecheng!
Thinking of this, Zhou Tengbin no longer hesitated. He ignored Tian Yunhu and immediately drew his sword to support his three brothers. Although Tian Yunhu was seriously injured, his strength was still there. Even if he could not move, it would not be easy for the enemy to kill him without a top expert!
With Zhou Tengbin's involvement, Tian Heng faced even greater pressure. In just a few breaths, he had several cuts on his body, putting him in grave danger!
Lao Bai and the others above watched with great anxiety, yet they were powerless to intervene!
Tian Heng is a master of the Ao Zhen level, almost infinitely close to the Dragon King Level. In the entire Jiangnan, apart from Lord Chen Qing, only Xu Hu of their Fighter Army has the power to fight him. Ordinary Transcendent masters, if they were to face him head-on, would probably not last more than ten rounds!
The city gate of the pass was not spacious, and although there were heavy troops, they could not form a military formation or effectively stack a qi and blood array. In the short term, they posed little threat to those guys and could only win by attrition. If Tian Heng was not restrained, those guys might really break through the encirclement and continue to lead the West Sea Army to attack.
Tian Heng's expression was extremely solemn at this moment, and he didn't even have time to think.
These five guys experienced a significant increase in power after being possessed by the Ancient Demon. Not only did their physical constitution and energy reach my level, but they also gained many killing moves that I had never seen before, thanks to the Ancient Demon's inheritance. If it weren't for my instincts and experience, I would have died a thousand times over by now.
Supporting two people is already extremely difficult; supporting four people certainly wouldn't last long.
laugh!
With a flash of blood, the three launched a coordinated attack, leaving Tian Heng Tian Heng with no way to dodge. His entire left shoulder was sliced off, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.
A sinister smile flashed across the faces of the four men, their murderous intent rising, while Zhou Tengbin's expression was complex.
Tian Heng had been kind to him, and if he could, he really didn't want to harm Tian Heng. But the other party had gone too far, even threatening the lives of his brothers, which was intolerable no matter what!
"Kill!"
A deep, hoarse voice came from behind him. Zhou Tengbin didn't need to turn around to know that Tian Yunhu had also made a move. The other party seemed to have recovered somewhat. Although his throat was still hoarse, it seemed that he had successfully stopped the bleeding!
Zhou Tengbin finally felt relieved. With the five of them working together, even if Tian Heng had extraordinary abilities, he would be doomed.
Just as he was about to skillfully coordinate with Tian Yunhu's attack, he felt a piercing pain!
He turned around in astonishment, but what he saw before him was not Tian Yunhu at all.
That burly man with a sharp, unyielding look, a full beard, and an imposing presence—who else could it be but Xu Hu?
How could that be?
Zhou Tengbin strained to look behind him, trying to find Tian Yunhu's figure, only to discover that not far away, Tian Yunhu's headless body was kneeling there, his head crushed by something, and he had long since lost all signs of life!
When did this guy arrive?
Wasn't he being held captive in Liuzhou City?
How could I possibly be here?
And why was there absolutely no sound about Tian Yunhu being killed?
Zhou Tengbin turned around, wanting to call out to his three companions who were attacking Tian Heng, but then he realized that the three were so focused on attacking Tian Heng that they hadn't noticed what was happening behind them.
At that moment, he suddenly understood why he hadn't noticed Tian Yunhu's death.
Tian Heng was a top-tier expert and their superior, making him a formidable opponent in their eyes. They instinctively exerted their utmost ability and energy to kill him quickly, never imagining that an equally skilled expert would attack from behind.
That's really true.
Before he could even process what had happened, the massive blade that had pierced his chest shattered his chest and then cleaved his world in two with a downward slash!
The two bulging eyes still stared at the newcomer with unwavering resentment.
They were clearly eager to know why the other person was here.
How exactly did they do it?
