My cultivation techniques can be infinitely fused.

A moment later, Zhao Xin returned and looked at Lu Zheng, saying, "Everything is arranged. My crossbowmen are quite experienced; they said the distance is fine and they'll definitely hit the target."

At this moment, Zhao Xin admired Lu Zheng even more. No matter what the situation, the opponent could always find the most suitable angle to attack.

His combat awareness was much stronger than that of the seasoned veterans who had been on the battlefield for many years.

"Buzz!"

Just as Zhao Xin was speaking...

You Tianjun stomped his right foot on the ground, creating waves of air, and leaped more than two zhang into the air. He held a stolen spear in one hand, ready to throw it downwards. He had already killed many people with this move.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng thought to himself, "This is the moment."

The crossbowmen around him did not disappoint him.

"Boom! Boom!"

The next moment, the bowstring emitted a piercing sound.

One crossbow bolt after another pierced the air, heading towards the Sky Falcon.

  

As expected of a master of innate skill, the hairs on his body stood on end when he sensed the attack coming.

Although the spear in his hand had already been thrown.

But his palms struck out at an extremely fast speed.

The dense palm prints almost covered the entire body.

"Bang! Bang!"

He deflected a large number of crossbows, but several still managed to get close to him.

Even a master with innate talent would find it difficult to dodge such an attack while in the air.

"laugh!"

A crossbow bolt struck his shoulder, tearing a chunk of flesh away to reveal the white bone. At that moment, his right arm was completely numb.

The other two crossbows were coming straight for him; if he couldn't dodge them, he would surely die.

Seeing this, Lady Hua, who was fighting the enemy, showed urgency in her eyes. Ignoring her opponents, she swept her weapon and pushed away most of the warriors who were attacking her.

He flew straight up and stood in front of You Tianjun, deflecting a crossbow bolt with a flick of his sword.

But the last one did work in the end.

With the woman's abdomen wide open, the weapon instantly pierced through her.

Blood gushed from her mouth.

He lifted the fallen Yu Tianjun and said, "I told you not to jump so high every time. You've really gotten me into trouble this time."

Although the voice was full of complaints, it also carried a strong sense of sorrow and reluctance.

The two have been married for over twenty years.

This assassination attempt on Lu Zheng was originally thought to be a very easy task, but who would have thought that the other party would be so difficult to deal with.

Not only were they discovered that very day, but they were also caught completely off guard and killed by them.

Now, they are trapped in this chaotic army. If they hadn't been injured, they would have been confident of breaking out, but now it seems impossible.

"I'll do my best to help you break through. Follow behind me." You Tianjun looked at his wife, a rare touch of tenderness appearing on his usually cold face.

But Madam Hua did not speak.

After turning around and slashing away two elite border troops who charged at him, he said coldly, "Stop dawdling. Deal with some lackeys first."

After saying that, he decisively broke the crossbow that had pierced his body.

At this moment, Zhao Xin was instantly invigorated. He shook off his heavy armor, picked up his spiked club, and charged in. His cultivation was at the early stage of the Refining Realm, which was slightly inferior to He Yun's late stage, but he was definitely a fierce general on the battlefield.

Under the cover of his elite troops, he surprisingly led his border soldiers in a counterattack.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng naturally wouldn't let the opportunity slip by.

Both of their innate abilities were already injured, and because of this great loss, You Tianjun would definitely not dare to easily engage in aerial combat again, which would reduce their advantage by more than half.

With the cooperation of two thousand border troops, it's not impossible to capture these two.

Thinking of this, he led dozens of skilled warriors from the Hundred Cavalry Division into the fray.

Lu Zheng's swordsmanship is now even more formidable.

Moreover, his movement speed is many times faster than before.

He didn't linger in the fight, but simply circled around the two of them.

He would occasionally swing his sword, keeping the two of them busy dealing with it.

As the blades clashed, they inflicted new wounds on the two assassins.

The system's voice sounded in his mind again.

[The host has engaged in combat with a master of the Innate Realm; proficiency in the "Dragon Elephant Body Forging Technique" has increased by 100.]

[The host has engaged in combat with a master of the Innate Realm; proficiency in the "Dragon Elephant Body Forging Technique" has increased by 100.]

......

A series of sounds rang out.

Lu Zheng was delighted. Sure enough, the proficiency gained from fighting against a master of innate level was much greater.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry. He led his men to surround the two men, preparing to slowly wear them down.

Time flies, and I don't know how much time has passed.

After You Tianjun's attempts to break through were repeatedly thwarted, Madam Hua was the first to give up. She had already been hit in the abdomen by a crossbow bolt, and had just been struck directly by Zhao Xin's spiked club.

He lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

You Tianjun was preoccupied with his wife and somewhat lost in thought.

Lu Zheng seized the opportunity and slashed straight at the man's shoulder with his long sword. The blade got stuck in the man's bone and made a clanging sound.

With murderous intent in his eyes, You Tianjun looked at Lu Zheng, raised his palm recklessly, ignoring the attacks from behind, and wanted to kill him.

But Lu Zheng reacted extremely quickly.

He immediately released the hilt of his sword and kicked You Tianjun with his right leg, as if he had kicked a metal plate, causing his leg to tremble.

But with that force, he retreated rapidly, his body skimming the ground.

Two elite border troops simultaneously thrust out their shields, blocking You Tianjun's attack route and buying time for Lu Zheng.

"Bang!"

The steel-cast round shield was shattered by Yu Tianjun's furious palm strike.

The price he paid for his reckless attack on Lu Zheng was now being paid off.

Zhao Xin, who was standing behind him, had witnessed the whole scene. When he saw Lu Zheng in danger, he was the first to rush over.

He swung his spiked club in anger.

It landed directly on the back of the swift falcon.

He stumbled, and at the same time, two junior officers from the Hundred Cavalry Guards thrust their long swords at him.

"laugh!"

Two gleaming blades pierced through the waist of the Sky Falcon in an instant.

At this moment, this renowned sect expert finally could not hold on any longer.

"Splash!"

Chains, like trembling giant pythons, flew out and covered the head of the Sky Falcon.

Two gleaming long hooks pierced his collarbone with precision.

At this moment, You Tianjun finally could not hold on any longer, and he was knocked down like a pillar.

Then, looking over, they discovered that Madam Hua, at some point, had also had her collarbone hooked and had been dragged aside.

He stared at Lu Zheng with wide eyes. Over the years, countless people had died at the hands of him and his wife. He never imagined that a mere centurion would bring them down.

And they failed so completely.

At the moment he lost consciousness, he felt a piercing pain coming from inside his body, followed by a feeling of being dragged, and finally lost all sensation.

The system's voice appeared in Lu Zheng's mind once again.

[Congratulations, host! You have defeated a Xiantian Realm expert and gained 900 achievement points.]

"Huang Yan, take stock of the fallen brothers, register them, arrange for their compensation, and immediately take the wounded back to the base for treatment." The battle had just ended, and Lu Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a deep voice.

Beside him, Zhao Xin also began to order his men to take stock of the losses.

After greeting him, Lu Zheng led his men to escort the two assassins to the Hundred Cavalry Commandery's headquarters.

Lu Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after the two were imprisoned in the dungeon.

Just after the doctor finished bandaging the two men's wounds and left, Lu Zheng noticed a book fall out of You Tianjun's arms, which stirred something within him.

At this point, the only thing one could carry with them would probably be a martial arts manual.

Without hesitation, he took a step forward, took out the book, and then smiled. It was indeed a secret manual, and it was still the "Mysterious Yin Demon Heart Manual," but it was much more complete than the one he had fused last time.

This time it's a whole book, comparable to a top-grade third-rank martial arts manual, and it contains more comprehensive techniques for cultivating the mind.

Then, Lu Zheng opened the system data.
