The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 765: Flying Sword Exiled Immortal

As early as a year ago, the Oirat people received a revelation from Changshengtian that they were about to spend a difficult winter.

After the failure of their southern expedition twenty years ago, the Oirat people had to swallow their anger in front of the people of Zhongzhou for a long time.

Erecting the Tower of Babel, building a new city, storing grain, training new soldiers, and honing brave warriors, given the regional conditions of the Oirat, to achieve what is known in the Zhongzhou dialect as "one force defeats ten skills" and defeat the Zhongzhou without any resistance, it may take a hundred, two hundred or even longer years of accumulation. Or perhaps no major disaster will befall Zhongzhou, and the Oirat people will never wait for that day.

For the Oirat people, it is difficult for them to defeat Zhongzhou by waiting and accumulating strength. They can only seize the opportunity and kill them while they are weak!

Last year, the conflict between the Zhongzhou court and the underworld intensified and the rift widened. After the Red Dress Cult's disguise was exposed and its Japanese roots were revealed, it was forced to stir up trouble. The entire Zhongzhou has become a state of chaos and a state of decline.

At that time, Ji Mucheng was reorganizing Duzhu and preparing for action. Goryeo and Luoyue had been ready to make a move for a long time. In addition, Zhongzhou was internally divided and colluding with the enemy. The people of the Oirat knew that time was running out, and they also wanted to rely on the momentum of the southern expedition to divert and avoid the natural disasters caused by the cold winter. So they followed the wishes of the Japanese and sent troops south!

The Oirat people had never underestimated the profound foundation of their neighbor, and this time they had made preparations for the southern expedition, which would take at least three years and at most five years.

Because winter was approaching, the initial pace of the Oirat people's southward expedition was large and rapid.

They were eager to send troops to the south, pushing a large number of people to the front lines in order to occupy land and seize food in order to alleviate the food shortage that might have occurred.

Although they encountered strong resistance and suffered heavy losses in the northern part of Zhongzhou, they all made gains in the east, middle and west routes, with the most fruitful results in the east. After half a year of conquest, they had enough reserves to supply the three fronts for the next half year.

Afterwards, the scattered population in the rear was gathered in new cities.

On the one hand, supplies can be provided in a centralized manner, and on the other hand, management and dispatch can be unified, so that we can charge forward on horseback and attack, and retreat and fight to defend the city. We can both fight and withstand the attack, thus avoiding the shame of twenty years ago from happening again.

Unexpectedly, this winter came so strangely.

The cumulus clouds brought down the temperature, but there was no snow. In a blink of an eye, winter is almost over and spring is approaching.

Although this strange weather brought a bad and depressed mood to the Oirat people, it also gave them more space and time to arrange wars on various fronts more calmly.

When the heavy snow fell, the Wala people even found it difficult to tell whether it was winter or spring?

……

……

The vast world was covered with overly thick gray-white sheepskin.

The living space of creatures between heaven and earth is further squeezed.

The cold wind is like a knife, cutting through and scraping the skin and piercing the bones.

Most of the water in the ponds, pools and streams in the mountains and fields has frozen.

Occasionally there would be a few streams of running water still struggling to flow, with streaks of ice condensed on them.

Many of the protruding parts of the rock walls are hung with ice ridges, some uneven and some continuous.

This is the natural scene that can be seen in the three courtyards of the East, Middle and West of Wala at the end of March.

In this environment, both hunters and prey have a hard time.

Any traces of movement were quickly covered up in the snow, making it difficult for hunters to locate their prey.

As for the prey itself, instead of worrying about being tracked by hunters, it is better to consider how to survive in the wind and snow.

Even though Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen were two veterans in the face of the snowstorm, they were hungry and full, and relied on each other's internal energy to barely stay warm.

In the ten days after leaving Batulu City, the two men fled in the general direction of the southwest, and found that the herds and even cattle, sheep and horses that were visible everywhere when they came seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and were nowhere to be found.

It was later discovered that within less than a month of their entering the city for training, all the Oirat people and all their cattle, sheep and livestock in the wilderness had been gathered into the cities and their ancillary structures.

At this time, if two people wanted to enter the city, it would be easy to expose their whereabouts.

No matter whether Jiang Yichen is a man dressed as a woman, or Leng Mei is a woman dressed as a man, no matter how they change their appearances or have many faces, it cannot change the fact that they are two different people.

As the saying goes, three times the limit, the Wala people, who had been deceived again and again by the two men's disguise ability, would always be on guard against the sudden appearance of two more people, no matter how slow they were, and it would be difficult for them to be fooled again.

This is also the conclusion that Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen came to after taking risks themselves.

Just five days ago, the two thought they had sneaked into Juye City without being noticed, had a hearty meal and slipped into an empty room in the inn to have a good night's rest. Just as they were warming up their bedding, they suddenly heard a large number of footsteps approaching quietly. They thought that someone in the city had noticed that there was something strange on their faces and reported it to the higher authorities. The two had to reluctantly leave their warm nest and avoid the siege of the city's defenders, lest they disturb the beehive and attract endless swarms of bees.

Even so, it took Leng and Jiang two days to completely shake off the Wala people's pursuit and reintegrate into the ice and snow.

This trip into the city was safe and sound. Apart from not getting enough sleep, I at least managed to get some dry food and get a lot of information.

For example, the victory reports of the Oirat army on various fronts and the ineffective resistance of the Zhongzhou side.

For example, the gains and losses of the states of Dongying, Guryeo, Duzhu, and Luoyue in front of Zhongzhou.

For another example, during the several months when Leng and Jiang disappeared from the official sight of the Oirat, they actually sneaked back to Zhongzhou and once again carried out assassinations in the dense forests where Lingnan and Luoyue meet, making the name "Killer Night Owl" a nightmare for the Luoyue people!

Of course, the Oirat people can now disprove the latter through the news coming from the City of Warriors and the distance between the north and the south, which makes it difficult to travel easily.

Some Oirat people originally thought it was foolish and ridiculous that the Luoyue people were intimidated by a false identity. However, when they thought that their own side was also in turmoil due to the same person, they felt that the old saying in Zhongzhou was true: they felt a sense of empathy.

The Wala officials have suffered from Leng and Jiang for a long time. After they tried to cover up their shame by trying to cover their ears and steal the bell in the beginning, they changed their mindset and made the people empathize with them and regard Leng and Jiang as their enemies. Now they can make the whole nation listen and see, making it difficult for Leng and Jiang to hide where people are.

In addition, there were also some Oirat people who had not gone to the front line or been summoned. For the sake of fame or profit, they spontaneously contacted each other, exerted their respective resource advantages, and formed unofficial teams similar to the Zhongzhou Jianghu righteous army, intending to find and eradicate this couple of enemies who brought shame to their own country and humiliation to all Oirat people.

The Wala officials were naturally happy to see this happen, and would share some information and provide certain conveniences as long as it did not affect the war at the front and daily affairs.

These unofficial teams named themselves "Chinasi", which means "wolf pack" in Zhongzhou language.

Perhaps the Wala officials did not have any hope for the private actions of the various "Chinas", but it was this unintentional move that captured the latest movements of Leng Jiang and the other two.

……

……

About an hour after leaving the cave where they had stayed for the night, Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen unexpectedly sensed that danger was approaching them.

This sense of danger came from behind.

As for their surprise, it was because they found that they were being followed.

When did they reveal their whereabouts?

At the moment, it seems that there are only traces of activities in the cave where we stayed last night that have not been cleaned up.

Or is it that it was cleaned too much, making it look abnormal?

……

……

In the case of a high risk of entering the city, it is necessary to find a large shelter to avoid the cold when spending the night in such a windy and snowy weather. Natural caves or caves that are used as dens by wild animals are the first choice.

Although it is impractical to set up sentry posts in every cave in the wild, as long as there are some Wala people willing to leave obscure marks for easy observation near the caves within their activity range, and then track the marks every day to see if there are signs of damage by human actions, they can always infer the approximate whereabouts of Leng and Jiang, and approach the target step by step.

Of course, if you are extremely lucky, for example, if a sign is made outside a cave the day before and it changes after only two days, and you can follow the clues that someone has just left, then there is a great chance of tracking them.

This "wolf pack" team was lucky enough to find the abnormal marking. They did not act rashly, but further collected footprints and movement tracks from various places. After confirming that the target's identity was in doubt, they called on their friends, summoned more "wolf packs", and notified the authorities.

In just one hour, the "wolf pack" gathered more than thirty "wolves", and the official 3,000 cavalry also came from three directions to encircle them.

……

……

Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen were not aware of the existence of the "wolf pack" and their initial thought was to shake off the other party in order to avoid being dragged down and even stuck in the quagmire.

However, good people don’t come, and those who come are of bad intentions. This time, the opponent behind him obviously has some skills and is well prepared.

Although there were wind and snow in the wilderness, there were no trees or rocks to provide shelter and maneuver, which made it easier to take advantage of the human wave to surround the enemy.

The two of them had fallen into the trap of the Oirat people without knowing it.

"How to do?"

A light mist rose from between Leng Mei's lips, then quickly condensed and fell.

When fighting against the enemy, the two mostly communicated through eye contact and thoughts. Leng Mei's questioning at this time showed that the situation was out of their control.

Jiang Yichen subconsciously grasped the scimitar at his waist, and then slowly released it.

During the second trip to Wala, in order to conceal their identities, the two men basically did not show their weapons except in the Tower of Babel.

However, by the time they broke out of the Batu City, the Dark Sword had already died. From then on, whenever they encountered a battle, Jiang Yichen could only snatch the sword for temporary use.

However, the people of Wala are not like those in Zhongzhou. Few people wear swords, and good swords are even rarer.

Most of the time, Jiang Yichen had to hold an object that looked like a sword but was not a sword to fight the enemy.

It's okay for dealing with small battles, but if you encounter a tough opponent or a long battle, you will eventually suffer from the lack of equipment and get hurt.

In today's situation, if there is still no sword, is it possible to pass it smoothly?

Before Jiang Yichen could give an answer, Leng Mei had already caught sight of the figure of the stalker gradually appearing behind him.

Jiang Yichen's ears moved and he heard the movement from the west. After focusing his eyes on the true energy, he saw that the cavalry in the distance were getting closer and closer and denser.

"west."

"A lot of horses?"

Leng Mei has followed Jiang Yichen westward, but wants to find out what Jiang Yichen is planning.

"Well, with a horse, we can always escape faster."

"it is good."

Having stayed in Wala for a long time, Leng Mei could tell at a glance that the horses ridden by the cavalry were all cold-resistant and hard-working Wuqin horses. After escaping from Batulu City, they had robbed horses twice. The first time, they tired out two horses, and the second time, they were unable to take care of them and had to abandon them. This was the third time they had robbed horses. Could they have been alerted in advance?

Leng Mei's mind moved slightly, but she saw Jiang Yichen holding his right hand flat in the air, as if feeling the wind and snow.

Jiang Yichen said: "The weather is just right today."

Leng Mei snorted and complained, it's not the same weather, but she asked, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Yichen raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, "It should be spring in Zhongzhou by now. The spring breeze turns to rain and snow, and the rain and snow can be used as swords!"

Leng Mei moved her gaze from Jiang Yichen's misty face to his right hand.

I saw that the falling snow with a little rain in the sky was no longer easily swayed by the winter wind, but found its way back home.

It belonged to the thin right hand with hard lines wrapped in a blue-gray suit.

From dots to lines, the lines are expanded into surfaces, the surfaces are one foot wide and three inches long.

Like icicles in flowing water, or like ice spikes hanging on rock walls!

……

……

The first thousand cavalrymen arrived with great excitement to make achievements, but their confidence was shattered before they even met!

There were only two people on the other side. No, to be precise, there was only one person attacking them. However, they felt that they could not crush and drown the other side as they did in the past.

The other party clearly didn't have a sword in his hand, but the snow and wind in the sky became his sword!

At first, they felt something was wrong when they noticed that the two people were walking towards them without any retreat.

As they got closer and closer to the two men, about a hundred paces' running distance for horses, people fell off their horses one after another.

And it’s not just one or two people, but one group of people, two groups of people, or even three groups of people!

The rhythm of the charge was interrupted, causing a commotion!

The astonished crowd checked carefully and found that those who fell off their horses were pierced in the face by long objects, and then took away the people behind them.

The murder weapon was still attached to the last person who was taken away, but it was gradually dissolving into the world.

The murder weapon is an ice sword, an ice sword condensed from ice and snow!

The siege operation was right before their eyes, and they were going to return shamefully empty-handed?

Before the cavalry company could regroup, one ice sword after another flew over and hit the target, stringing together the human-shaped gourd!

Under the wind and snow, arrows are useless. What kind of demon can create an ice sword to kill people from a hundred steps away? !

Is this the killer Night Owl that the Luoyue people are famous for and fear?

Whoosh whoosh!

The ice swords come more and more frequently and in more and more quantities!

Amid the sudden and abrupt wails, the cavalry company of a thousand men had lost nearly fifty people before the two men's faces could be seen clearly.

The blood bloomed in brilliant colors against the white snow on the ground.

After the leading general was unfortunately stabbed in the forehead, there was no life left in the eyes of the soldiers in the cavalry company. Instead, there was gray fear and bloody despair!

Da da da……

It seems that two other groups of people are coming, but can they really stop the strange man who turns rain and snow into flying swords?

……

……

In less than a month, new rumors about the two Central Plains bandits spread throughout the Wala territory.

It turns out that the reason why the killer Night Owl has not been caught yet is because he is a banished immortal from heaven who can turn rain and snow into flying swords and take people's lives from a hundred steps away!

No wonder there is a legend about his resurrection in Zhongzhou!
