Chapter 229 Fighting
In the melee, the sound of moving armor was heard in the distance. None of the four women present were brave and aggressive. There were two killers and two people from Zi Lan Xuan. One would stop at nothing to achieve the goal, while the other would fight with wits rather than ruthlessness. Facing the enemy's attack, who would tell you the rules of the underworld? What's more, the enemy outnumbered the weak and didn't follow the rules, so why would they follow the rules?
The troops had already been ambushed in this mansion, but these women had been practicing their magic skills in this house for many years, and they had finally waited for the farmers to come to them on their own initiative. How could they let them go? So they went into battle themselves.
But they are not real warriors after all. Although they have the urge to take action when facing the enemy, they have also prepared ambushes. It can be said that they are taking a two-pronged approach. After they have satisfied their desire, they can use the iron-armored army and white-armored soldiers to surround and kill them. The strong attack and powerful crossbows are enough to take down these people.
The farmers also heard the footsteps and realized that the women in front of them were really unethical. However, they were not in danger. In the mansion, too many soldiers could not be deployed. This was not the wilderness. They only needed to capture the women in front of them in the shortest time possible.
For a moment, the people from the farming family burst out with their full strength and attacked Zi Nu and Jing Wei. Here, the two of them were the main attackers, but they forgot about Yan Lingji. A fire phoenix rushed out from Yan Lingji's body and attacked the people from the farming family directly while burning.
Although the flames cannot cause effective damage to masters like Tian Guang in the first place, for non-hall masters whose martial arts are much weaker, these flames are extremely troublesome. In particular, the biggest purpose of the flames is not to kill, but to divide them and eliminate their numerical advantage.
In the flames, the sight of all the farmers paused, and taking advantage of this gap, Zi Nu and Niu Shang rushed directly into the flames. These two people were so familiar with Yan Lingji that they couldn't be more familiar with each other. Although it was the first time for them to fight side by side with Yan Lingji, they were in tune with each other's minds. Especially since the three of them often practiced dual cultivation with Yang Chong on weekdays, there were marks of Yang Chong in each other's aura. Although these marks could not enhance their combat effectiveness at the moment, they made their cooperation more tacit.
The moment Zi Nu and Niu Shang rushed into the flames, Yan Lingji had already opened up a path for them that only they could pass through. Taking advantage of the fire and terrain, the two of them struck out with their swords one after another. In just a few breaths, they killed eight or nine farmers' disciples. Their blood evaporated in the flames, and the burnt smell mixed with the bloody smell made Tian Guang and others even more angry.
Four powerful auras burst out in an instant, violently tearing apart the sea of fire controlled by Yan Lingji. At this time, more than a dozen farmers' disciples had already fallen in a pool of blood.
"Everyone, these women are not as weak as we imagined. We must not hold back any longer. If we cannot capture them alive, then killing them will do." Tian Guang ordered his subordinates.
The purpose of their raid on Yang Mansion was to capture the women in front of them and force Yang Chong to surrender. According to their intelligence, among these women, only Niu Shang, the former top-ranking killer of Luowang, could be considered an opponent. It might require Tian Guang, the leader of the farming families, to personally deal with her. As for Zi Nu, Yan Ling Ji, and Nong Yu, one hall master was enough to deal with them. The reason why they dispatched three hall masters and dozens of elite disciples was just to guard against the guards of Yang Mansion.
But the facts were somewhat different from what they had imagined. Although Niu Shang was powerful, it was still within expectations. However, Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji actually had the strength of first-rate masters. Moreover, it was either because of their bloodline or their martial arts that their strength was not enough to compete with the veteran first-rate masters, but when it came to their weirdness and attack power, even Tian Guang had to be careful.
Yan Lingji was seen transforming flames into armor, making her whole body look like a phoenix bathing in flames. Ordinary attacks could hardly break through the thick flame barrier. Her hands were clenched into claws, and the flames that expanded while burning condensed at her fingertips. The originally red flames took on a golden-red color, and took on an even hotter temperature in its restraint.
As for Zi Nu, there was flashing lightning all around her, and in the lightning, the chain sword was moving unpredictably.
On the contrary, the strongest one, Niu Shang, has no aura at all, but in her restraint, her murderous aura is the strongest. The sword is a deadly weapon and does not need any decoration.
"Quick battle, quick decision." Tian Guang snorted and took the lead in attacking Niu Shang. Among the women present, Niu Shang was the strongest, he was sure of that. However, no matter how strong Niu Shang was, she was still no match for him.
Following Tian Guang's order, two other people attacked Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji. As for Nong Yu, according to the farmers' intelligence, Nong Yu was the weakest one, but in terms of martial arts, she was not even a match for Tian Mi. This was an opponent that could be easily defeated.
The last hall master chose to treat Nongyu as a target rather than an opponent, a target that could be easily subdued.
The figure of the hall master was seen split into eight and they surrounded Nong Yu directly. Under his attack, Nong Yu could not resist, and even escaping was impossible. But why would Nong Yu want to escape?
Nanyue suddenly plucked the strings of the zither in his hand. Although his speed was fast, it was not faster than the spread of sound. As the strings vibrated, a faint sound of the zither rang out. He felt that the true energy in his body paused. In just this pause, sound blades broke through the air. The so-called one divided into eight, a thousand people with a thousand faces, was a joke at this moment. He tried his best to turn his body, but tiny cracks had already appeared on his body.
He looked intently at the target in front of him and was greatly surprised. The blood flowing from his body clearly told him a fact that Nongyu was by no means the weakest among the four women, but now he had no time to think more.
Between Nanyue's fingers, the sound of the piano bloomed, and invisible sound blades attacked like a storm. This was not the most terrifying thing, the sound blades were just dynamic physical attacks, what was even more weird was the sound of the piano.
There seemed to be a magical power in the sound of the piano, which made people's minds fall into a strange tranquility, gradually extinguishing their will to fight, making them only want to return to peace.
The sound blade attacks the body, the sound of the piano attacks the soul, although Nong Yu, who has cultivated the complete version of Fuxi's Divine Heavenly Sound, has the weakest power, her actual combat power is still above that of her sister Zi Nu.
Especially Fuxi Shentianxiang was as effective as Yan Lingji in clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers. For a while, amid the sound blades, the so-called elite disciples of the Nong family were already killed or wounded.
The sudden change caused the farmers' attacks to pause, but there was no room for them to buffer. Neither Niu Shang, Zi Nu, nor Yan Ling Ji were opponents that could distract them.
"Let's go." Seeing that they were stuck in a stalemate and it was impossible to take down the four women in front of them in a short period of time, Tian Guang knew that this operation had failed. If the stalemate continued, when the guards of Yang Mansion surrounded them, even if they wanted to leave, few of them would be able to do so.
"Escape, have you asked us?" Yan Lingji held a short sword in one claw and swung it with her backhand. The sharp and hot claw force had already cut off an arm that exuded the smell of barbecue. These farm disciples are rare resources. Since they are here, how can she let them go? She remembered that Yang Chong was only one step away from the Grandmaster level, and she might have to use these people.
The ruthless and docile Niu Shang directly blocked Tian Guang's way. She was not afraid that the other party would do something desperate.
……
By the lake, the raging energy blew the ground into a deep pit. The lake water not far away poured in, turning the battlefield into a world of water. The reeds on the lakeside were also ignited. In the fire, the whole lake showed a beautiful scenery that was usually red or green. However, among the few people present at this time, no one appreciated the beauty they created.
The four old men of the farm family who trapped Yang Chong in the center with the four-sided formation now looked exhausted. As they got older, their skills had reached the limit of first-class masters, but their physical strength could not keep up. They were too old to fight Yang Chong. They thought that the six of them could easily take down Yang Chong, but they never thought that Yang Chong would kill them twice at the beginning of the battle. They finally formed a formation to knock Yang Chong's sword away. They thought they had abolished Yang Chong's strongest means, so they formed a ground formation to trap Yang Chong, but they never thought that Yang Chong was also a master of formations. The change of Zhou Liuxu Gong actually made him play formations.
No matter how hard the four old men of the farming family tried, they were unable to take down Yang Chong and could only fall into a stalemate. Unless something unexpected happened, the stalemate would continue until one of the two sides was exhausted.
But if there are no accidents, just create them.
This was the common idea of Yang Chong and the four elders of the farming family at this time.
Since it is difficult to determine the winner in a martial arts match, then defeat the opponent by his will.
"Yang Chong, now it seems that the women in your family have become our prisoners. Tell me, we have finally caught them, how should we deal with them? But I heard that each of your women is stunningly beautiful." The wise and resourceful historian among the four elders of the farming family spoke.
"You are looking for death." Yang Chong said angrily, as if he was really overwhelmed by the words of the historian.
"Your woman will suffer a fate worse than death." the historian continued.
A ferocious look emerged on Yang Chong's face. This was the rhythm of a rampage. Any further disorderly outburst in this situation would only lead to self-destruction.
Seeing the changes in Yang Chong, smiles appeared on the faces of Li Shi and others. Fortunately, they had made preparations for both situations. Although an accident occurred here, the other one will definitely go smoothly.
This battle is considered a sure win.
However, before the four old men from the farming family could hold their smiles for a moment, Yang Chong suddenly said, "Forget it. Such jokes are not good. You are not worthy of mentioning their names."
"What?" Yang Chong's sudden change made the four elders of the farmer family nervous.
"Spiral Nine Shadows."
Yang Chong's figure was instantly divided into nine, and it was difficult to distinguish the real one from the fake one. One was operating thunder, one was bathed in flames, and one was controlling the strong wind. The eight changes of Zhou Liuxu Gong were presented simultaneously by Yang Chong's spiral nine shadows.
At this moment, it was not the six elders of the Nong family who surrounded Yang Chong with the Earth and Marsh Battle, but Yang Chong who surrounded the four of them with the Zhouliu Liuxu Gong.
Nine figures attacked the four people separately, forcing the four people to be alert and fight back.
However, the master felt something was wrong the moment he faced Yang Chong. The eight figures of Yang Chong suddenly disappeared, leaving only Yang Chong in front of him. The power of heaven, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, mountains and marshes was gathered in one palm by Yang Chong, and he attacked the master directly with irresistible force.
"I can't block this palm." The historian was horrified. When he faced Yang Chong with the Zhoutian Xingchen Palm, he felt that the heaven and earth were reversed, the stars were shifted, and what was moved were his muscles and bones, and what was reversed was his soul.
The master of history only felt that his strength was blocked and he was knocked flying. At the moment he flew backwards, Yang Chong had already replaced his position. The node of the Di Ze formation stopped directly because of Yang Chong's joining.
"Sword of Ten Thousand Fires." Yang Chong mobilized the power of the sword world and used the fire technique to control the flames in the reed marsh that had already burned to the extreme, transforming them into swords of fire that poured down towards Xian Zong.
"Sword of the Sea." Behind Yang Chong was a restless lake, which raised huge waves and turned into an incomparably huge sword, smashing towards Yu Tu. It did not change like the fire sword, but it was powerful and heavy, like a flood, sweeping away everything in its path, vowing to destroy everything in front of it.
"I want to die together with you." The last person saw that Yang Chong's attack had reached the level of a true master, and he was truly borrowing the power of heaven and earth. Once these two attacks were launched, both Xian Zong and Yu Tu would be killed by Yang Chong.
Having nowhere to retreat, he could only rush towards Yang Chong and compress all his strength into his dantian. He actually wanted to use the method of destroying both himself and Yang Chong, and then save Yu Tu and Xian Zong.
However, this time Yang Chong did not hide, nor did he withdraw his attack for defense. Instead, he was determined to resist the opponent's will and perish together in order to kill Yu Tu and Xian Zong.
Since the other party is determined to perish together with him, Yang Chong naturally has the courage to fight to the death.
There was a loud bang, followed by two screams. One of Xian Zong and Yu Tu was pierced through the heart by thousands of swords, and the other was crushed into mud by huge waves. In front of Yang Chong, there was a blood mist blooming, and in the blood mist were flying broken bones. Amidst the dull explosions, Yang Chong's body was riddled with holes from the flying broken bones. Even with Yang Chong's powerful martial arts, he could not withstand this blow and would be destroyed together with his body.
As water and fire came together, water vapor arose. A thunder rumbled in the sky, and in a blink of an eye, heavy rain poured down, pouring on the only figure still standing there, washing the wounds on his body, and turning into streams of blood flowing to his feet.
