Chapter 174: The man with black armor and unicorn face, who in the world doesn’t recognize you!
After putting the young lady down in a safe place in Guanyi City, Li Guanyi rode the strange beast towards the outer city gate of Guanyi City. If he were an ordinary mediocre person, this would be enough for him to rush out.

However, he was facing Chen State's most outstanding city defender. As expected, he encountered rounds of attacks. Lu Youxian's means were not just those of the elite troops who went to the Xue family to ask for people.

"kill!!!"

The sound of shouting continued to ring out.

The common people had already been dispersed and driven back to their homes. They closed their doors and windows and listened to the war horses galloping back and forth outside. The sound of horse hooves hitting the bluestone slabs was like bursts of muffled thunder. There were cavalrymen riding fast horses coming and going quickly, shouting:

"Follow the order of General Lu Youxian!"

"If you find Li Guanyi, no matter who he is holding hostage, draw your swords and string your crossbows. Don't let him get away! Don't let him get away!!!"

"Don't hold back. Remember, don't hold back!"

After Li Guanyi and Xue Shuangtao left the Xue family, just as the young man had judged, the famous general known as Old Turtle issued a ruthless and experienced military order the moment he received the news. He was the general defending the city, and even Yue Qianfeng could hardly break through his defense.

Even when Xue Daoyong and Yue Qianfeng were fighting outside, he would simply defend the city without any help in order to protect it. At that time, she was just a princess, and he would never put her life above the safety of the city.

In the City Lord's Mansion, there were people who had contact with the Xue family. Upon hearing the news, they came to the general's place and scolded him.

"How dare you, Lu Youxian!"

"That's the eldest daughter of the Xue family, the princess of the country. Now she's been kidnapped and rushed outside. Not only did you not rescue her, you also ordered those soldiers to draw their swords and string their crossbows. What do you mean? Aren't you afraid of hurting the princess?!"

Lu Youxian said:

"Li Guanyi fled with a great sacrifice, and the Xue family's strange beast carriage crashed into Guanyi City at night."

“Something has to change.”

The official in the city was furious: "Just for this reason, you dare to issue such an order, Lu Youxian, let me tell you, since you are like this, aren't you afraid that I will report you and take your official hat?"

Lu Youxian said: "To defend the city and to protect the country."

The official went out and incited other officials who had received favors from the Xue family to come and make a fuss. Lu Youxian remained silent again and again, then suddenly pressed his knife and swung it out. The blade was sharp and cold, and the official who was the first to incite Lu Youxian to withdraw his troops was beheaded directly. The huge head fell to the ground, and the smell of blood was pungent.

So the officials who had been talking just now suddenly became quiet.

Lu Youxian raised his knife and said, "To protect the city, if anyone says to stop fighting and release the people, I will do it."

“There are such people.”

He then said with indifference and mockery: "If I hadn't guarded the city, how could you have taken the Xue family's money and talked so freely here?"

Many high-ranking officials of noble families looked unhappy. This famous general, who seemed to never have a temper, finally showed his determination and tenacity, holding out the isolated city for three months without surrendering under the charge of Ying State's cavalry.

"Prepare to close all four city gates!"

Someone exclaimed, “No way!”

Lu Youxian glanced over and said:
"Catching a turtle in a jar, how can it be possible?!"

So the man was speechless.

Lu Youxian snorted coldly, holding the knife, and strode out. The whole city was locked, and tens of thousands of soldiers from Guanyi City were wearing armor and holding swords, searching and killing in rounds. In his judgment, this was definitely a traitor who caused a huge disaster in Jiangzhou City.

The heroes of the world were galloping on the battlefield of the Great Sacrifice. Even though they had left the center, there were still some famous generals of the State of Chen who were undefeated in defending the city and instantly saw through the turbulent situation. Immediately, the Guanyi City of the State of Chen was transformed into a battlefield of alley fighting.

The famous general, who was already at the peak of his career, had a cold look in his eyes and mobilized his soldiers to surround and kill the young man.

In front of Lu Youxian was the topographic map of the entire Guanyi City.

He was wearing armor, his eyes were calm, and his left hand was pressing the seal of General Guan Yicheng. The seal was glowing with light, and through the connection of the dragon vein's luck, he took the initiative to contact Jiangzhou City, saying that he had found Li Guanyi and didn't know how to deal with it.

At the same time, he picked up a chess piece representing cavalry in his right hand and moved forward in the area representing the alley.

A loud whistling sound.

The spear chopped down below.

Li Guanyi raised the Frost Halberd in his hand and used the small branch of the halberd to block the spear tip. His mount was a strange beast, but in the terrain of this city, Li Guanyi did not have the skills to taming beasts like Zhao Dabing, and even the strange beast could not burst out with extreme speed. Another team of cavalry rushed from the side, holding two-meter-long spears in their hands, holding them level at the elbows, and stabbing wildly.

Li Guan gritted his teeth, and bravely knocked the two captains who were holding him off their horses.

The right hand holds the weapon and sweeps horizontally, while the left arm is stretched out.

With just one move, he put the two spears that were thrusting at him under his arms.

With a loud shout, he broke the two spears.

Another sweep.

Part of the gun handle and the fine steel blade were shot back.

One of the two captains was pierced through the face by the spear blade. He yelled and fell off his horse. The other one dodged the attack by dodging the attack by hiding under the horse's belly. At this moment, a row of crossbows appeared on the roof of the house opposite.

There was just a buzzing sound, and the crossbow arrows fell like flying feathers and locusts.

Li Guan squeezed the horse's belly one by one.

The strange beast roared like thunder and rushed out directly from the crossbow arrows.

Li Guanyi swept the halberd in his hand into pieces, either smashing or knocking away the crossbow arrows that failed to break out. Not long after leaving the young lady, he encountered several battles, and his battle robe was covered with new blood and old blood.

Even with his physique, he was a little out of breath. Fighting was different from a martial arts duel. He subconsciously used his greatest strength in every move. There was murderous intent everywhere. He charged into the battle alone and had knocked down hundreds of people. However, this was Guanyi City, and the enemy's reinforcements were endless.

These elite troops are deployed by famous defensive generals who once had a glorious record.

No. 71 on the list of the world’s most powerful generals is Lu Youxian.

Even though the grand festival attracted the vast majority of masters and strong men, even though they had come all the way here, there were still famous generals with calm eyes, blocking the way ahead, as if there would never be an end. This is the foundation of a great country.

Even though the emperor has rotted away, with such a vast territory and so many elite soldiers and generals, he is still like a giant. He possesses power enough to shock and terrify the Western Regions and the Turks, and has potential that even the Ying State has to take it seriously.

There are too many heroes in the world, and he is just a young tiger.

"Youngster, stop!!!"

Suddenly there was a loud shout, and a general came galloping over on a warhorse that also had the blood of an exotic beast. The internal energy armor that was surging out, and the internal energy entangled in his body, there was no doubt that he was a warrior from the third level. Li Guanyi blocked it with the halberd in his right hand.

A general rushed out from the left side, and swept the chain-like weapon in his hand, directly entangled Li Guanyi's left hand, and then suddenly pulled it backwards, and actually controlled the boy's left hand. He was also a general from the third level and could lead an army of a thousand men.

There are more than a dozen deputy generals of this level in the entire Guanyi City.

"Come die!!!"

A nine-foot-tall man, holding a sledgehammer as big as a jar, smashed down from a great height with great force. Li Guan shouted loudly, and his blood and energy surged. However, when his body and blood were agitated to the extreme, the poison of [Fei] broke out again.

The incomparable pain made his eyes go black.

Li Guan let out a long roar, and the roar of a white tiger appeared. He suddenly wrapped his left hand around the general and pulled him in the opposite direction. Then he shook his wrist and the chain emitted a wave-like force.

What a terrifying power.

He actually pulled a general from the third heaven off his mount and made him fly.

Li Guanyi's heart was filled with excitement, and with a sudden sweep, the general of the Third Heaven was swung and smashed onto the urn hammer that was smashing down fiercely. The two generals of the Third Heaven were so angry that their blood was boiling, and they both fell to the ground. Li Guanyi's left hand was covered in blood, and he punched a cavalryman next to him and knocked him off his horse.

The man's weapon flew up, and Li Guanyi grabbed it directly as his mount galloped.

He swung his sword back and chopped the arrow into pieces.

The sound of horse hooves was like thunder.

Li Guanyi held a halberd in his right hand and a long sword in his left hand, leaning over the back of his warhorse, his heart beating wildly. If viewed from high above, it would seem as if the entire Guanyi City had become a battlefield, with streaks of flying dust representing a team of cavalrymen, all chasing and intercepting the young man.

But the strange beast in the front, wrapped in thunder, almost broke out from the crowd of thousands of troops and survived!
There was blood at the corner of Li Guanyi's mouth and he stared straight ahead.

The city gate is just ahead!
If you rush out, you will be able to leap into the vast ocean as a fish would.

But just as the young man rushed into the city wall, the city gate in front of him suddenly slammed shut with a loud bang like thunder. The next moment, Li Guan's scalp went numb and he suddenly flew to the side with a stream of light, almost a beam of light.

It fell directly from the sky and broke the spine of the monster.

The world-famous general, Lu Youxian, stood on a high place, holding a bow in his right hand with a cold look in his eyes.

"Li Guanyi, the imperial court has sent an order."

"You killed Prime Minister Tan Tai. All troops, surround and kill him!"

The strange beast fell down, and in an instant, a strong man like Lu Youxian attacked with all his strength. Even the strange beast could not withstand it. Li Guanyi rolled on the ground, and the power burst out from the Dharma image behind him. He grabbed the Frost Halberd with his right hand, and a stream of light flashed on the halberd.

【Rolling Waves】!!

Li Guanyi finally understood the use of this sweeping Qi in the midst of chaos. In the midst of chaos, General Xue's Qi finally exploded with a power that surpassed the fighting in the martial arts world. Dozens of people around him were all pulled off balance by the Qi of the Qi.

Li Guan turned around and took advantage of the chaos to fly into the air. He grabbed the reins and moved his feet to the left and right, knocking out the two captains who were charging with guns, causing them to break their teeth. He fell off his horse and landed on the back of a horse with the blood of an alien beast. He slapped the horse's buttocks with his weapon and the mount galloped away. Although the city gates were locked and the divine generals blocked his way, he could not get out of the city, but he broke out of the encirclement and escaped quickly.

Lu Youxian originally planned to shoot him to death with one arrow.

However, the city-like terrain that had previously blocked Li Guanyi's path now also obscured his figure. Lu Youxian put down his crossbow and said, "Narrow the encirclement. He is already injured. Surround and kill him!"

"promise!"

Lu Youxian raised his weapon and looked at the straight road that Li Guanyi had just charged towards. Even he had a trace of violent fluctuations in his eyes. How terrifying it was that a teenager in his teens almost broke through the blockade of thousands of troops!

Although they were in Guanyi City, so there was no way to surround and kill him with as many troops as on the battlefield, but it was also Guanyi City. The one Li Guanyi had to face was the army guarded by Lu Youxian, who was very familiar with this city.

Just like this, he actually defeated more than a hundred people along the way, beheaded two generals, killed more than twenty people, and countless others fell off their horses and fell to the ground. The bluestone slabs on the road were crushed, and weapons were broken and fell to the ground twisted.

And yet, he still had the strength and stamina to continue fighting.

In fact, if it weren't for Lu Youxian's judgment, he would have really broken through a city from the siege of thousands of troops. Lu Youxian suddenly thought of the historical records. Eight hundred years ago, only a few people were able to kill the city lord and become the overlord of the city.

He spoke almost instinctively, "Not as good as the Overlord."

"but……"

Lu Youxian glanced over here and said in a deep voice:

"But it is also a brave act."

"If you escape today, you will become a famous general in the world and threaten our country. The best defense is to kill the enemy at the beginning. Li Guanyi, die here today."

Li Guanyi broke through the blockade against him all the way. It can only be said that when Lu Youxian was a teammate, he seemed to be an ordinary person, but once he became an opponent, he was an extremely difficult defensive general.

In the end, even the mount he had snatched fell down, and Li Guanyi fought on foot and retreated.

The battle formations and ideas taught by General Xue would always appear for no reason in this life-and-death battle, and then Li Guanyi would understand them in actual combat and gradually master them, allowing him to glimpse the direction of survival.

This is why he was not taken away by Lu Youxian in one move.

[Fei Du] erupted, causing waves of severe pain that made his vision go black.

Finally, before the poison broke out, he shook off the pursuers and found a place where he could take a short break. Li Guanyi swallowed the elixir prepared by Old Xue, suppressed the poison in himself with his vital energy, and then activated the [Eternal Blue Moon Immortal Body] to condense the golden elixir to suppress the [poison].

The battle robe he was wearing was already tattered, and there were some shriveled spots on his armor.

There were many arrows and crossbow bolts stuck in its back, making it look like a big hedgehog.

But the armor of the Jinwu Guards was indeed very solid in defense, and they did not shoot him to death. However, this was also the limit of the Jinwu Guards' armor. Li Guanyi finally understood why some generals died from stray arrows. You thought there was only one stray arrow, but no, there were actually a large number of them.

They were flying in dense swarms, flying everywhere in the sky.

You can avoid this side but not that side.

Li Guanyi exhaled, and used a branch to draw the layout diagram he had just recorded on the ground. General Xue was not here, but he seemed to be able to hear the teachings of this general who was once the best in the world, and told him what to do in the face of such a situation.

'So, what are you going to do?'

Li Guanyi seemed to hear the smiling voice of the divine general.

Li Guanyi looked up and did not see the always smiling general. He felt nervous. He clenched his fists and breathed quickly. This time it was no longer as simple as a competition with General Xue. He had to risk his life on the ring. If he rushed out, he would take over the world!
Unable to break out, the dead young genius is just a corpse.

What to do?

Li Guanyi's consciousness seemed to rise, detached from the battlefield at the moment, and was thinking from a higher position. If he was thinking as a commander and strategist, what was Lu Youxian's strategic goal?
Li Guanyi's eyes gradually calmed down.

"It's to kill me."

"Yes, he doesn't know that I have a top-notch physique. In his opinion, a mere Second Heaven warrior would never be able to get out when the city gates are blocked. What he wants is to kill me inside the city."

"He underestimates me. He can't help but underestimate me. This is my only chance."

"Throw yourself into death and live again."

"His troops will be deployed to surround and kill me, and the city gate should be a place of death, but now it is my only chance of survival. Otherwise, I will die in this endless street fighting, or I will rush out of this cage-like city in one go."

"What do I have to lose?"

Li Guanyi calmed down, put down his halberd, and became calm.

Looking around at this moment, he realized belatedly that this was actually the mountain temple of Guanyi City. Li Guanyi came here according to the map given by Pojun where the Iron Pagoda Armor was hidden, but he did not expect that this guy would hide this thing in this place.

But it is true. What could be more suitable to store this thing than the ruins of the original mountain temple, which had been destroyed in the battle with Yue Qianfeng and became even more dilapidated?

However, if it is a mountain temple.

Li Guanyi suddenly remembered something and became interested. He stood up and went to the dry well in the ruins of the mountain temple. He muttered for a while, picked up a cloth bag, opened it, and found a gold bead inside.

That was the first time he encountered Yue Qianfeng's spoils.

At this moment, he was penniless. The young man stuffed the golden bead into his arms. Although this was such a deadly place, a sense of heroism and joy rose from the bottom of his heart. His relationship with the State of Chen and the story of the great sacrifice began here and should end here!

The young man passed the young lady's jade pendant through a rope and hung it around his neck.

He picked up the halberd and, according to Pojun's map, dripped blood in front of the broken statue of the mountain god. Then, the faint starlight slowly dispersed, and a huge monster appeared in front of him, majestic, solemn, and exuding a murderous aura.

This is the most important part of his strategy.

Li Guanyi slowly reached out his hand and pulled off the felt oilcloth.

With a crash, the oilcloth fell down.

The eerie black armor appeared in front of him, emitting a cold breath of killing. Li Guanyi could already sense the army surrounding him. He held the Frost Halberd in his right hand, and the black murderous aura slowly spread.

The young man said softly, "Qilin."

The Qilin that had been lying inside his battle robe popped its head out.

"Although it's a bit reluctant, but..."

The young man had a dark golden visor on his left hand.

"Can you please play with me again?"

"Let's rush out together!"

"Go to the world."

The boy's eyes were burning like fire.

This is the only chance to survive, we must struggle and try our best.

hold!

………………

In front of the ruins of the mountain temple, the soldiers of the State of Chen had already surrounded and moved forward. They held their weapons and formed a formation with crossbows in their hands. Lu Youxian was guarding the back. He was not a warrior who was good at fighting and attacking, but he was much stronger than an ordinary general.

"He has already used up so much of his energy just now."

"Yes, he was only a little boy, but he beat two generals half to death... and there were so many brothers."

"Okay, rush in!"

"Follow General Lu's instructions, shoot three rounds of arrows in first!"

So round after round of arrows were poured in like rain, and then they set it on fire. However, the mountain temple was poor, with only earth and stone structures, so nothing could be burned out. So several elite soldiers rushed in directly with guns.

The next moment, these elite soldiers who had previously been able to resist Li Guanyi paused.

The inky halberd stabbed out flames, and then suddenly raised up, and the bodies of more than a dozen elite soldiers were directly lifted up by the halberd. The tiger roared low, and then the flames dispersed. Lu Youxian's always calm eyes finally lost his usual composure.

Just like a legend, the yellowed picture that only exists in history and memory crossed the rain falling from the sky and slowly came to the present world. I don't know when the rain fell on the inky armor, and the ripples that spread out seemed to cover him with a layer of light.

Lu Youxian's heart was beating wildly. As the commander, he lost his composure for a moment and just stared at the scene in front of him. The inky halberd suddenly swept across, and the energy was like a tiger. More than a dozen elite soldiers flew up directly -

The roar of the Fire Kirin resounded, and a general wearing ink-colored armor rode on the Kirin.

Holding a halberd and wearing a dark golden mask on his face, he appeared on the battlefield!
The halberd swept suddenly and touched the ground.

The flames rose.

Legend, reappear!
Lu Youxian's strong fighting spirit slowly collapsed, and his pupils contracted violently:
"Prince Taiping?!!!"
