Dragon Gate Swordsman

Yes, even though she hardly uses electronic products on a daily basis, she is definitely not an electronic idiot like a certain magician.

"Chongxiao, where are you?"

"This side of Trade Street, we're heading back, what's going on?"

"Pay attention, the people from the Yangshen Sect may have arrived."

Chongxiao frowned slightly, and at the same time, subtly sensed the situation around him.

At this time, three days had passed since the troops set out on the expedition and marched towards Yumen. If the "home exchange" tactic planned by Li Wuan and Chongyue was indeed effective, then the emergence of the Yangshen Sect would not be surprising.

Zuo Xuanliao was different from Li Wuan. He was not willing to discuss matters with others, and the deployment to deal with the cultists was kept secret. He never revealed it to Chongxiao... or even to Ling.

It's not that he is too confident. The border guards with the home advantage can basically use a dimensionality reduction attack against the Yangshen Sect. The problem is how to ensure that civilians are not harmed.

"……noob."

"Master?"

"You go back first. Master suddenly remembered something."

The girl was stunned for a moment, but soon nodded seriously.

……

In fact, sneaking into Yumen City is easier than you think.

Ten years ago, when the Yangshen Sect had not yet been born, its predecessor, the Shanhai Clan, disguised themselves as gangsters and passed through the checkpoint, then caused a big commotion in the city.

The most direct consequence of that incident was that the veteran general Zuo Xuanliao "lost his integrity in his later years" and was removed from his post. The supreme commander of the Yumen Frontier Defense Force then became General Zhenbei Li Wuan.

And now, history seems to be repeating itself...

A caravan mainly composed of the Pelo, Feidia and Ruiboba tribes had just passed the checkpoint at the landing port and reached Yumen City along the direct passage.

Their scale was much larger than other caravans that came to Yumen, but for some reason they did not have many vehicles. Instead, they used domesticated armored beasts to pull pack carts. They claimed that they had come specifically to respond to the border guards' call to purchase military rations.

The guards at the checkpoint were very diligent. Even on a night like this, they meticulously checked the cargo and confirmed its safety.

However, when these carts were put on the ground of Yumen City, the light of Originium Technique suddenly flashed on their bases... Then, the trailers originally used to transport food began to change in a twisting state, and dense figures appeared...

"Amazing Originium skills, Master Ze."

"Meaningless flattery is just a waste of time... Mu Luo, go control the Yumen government office and make sure to capture as many people as hostages. Alaqi, take the fighting generals and believers to the densely populated areas and set up the Jiyuan formation as soon as possible."

All the members of the Yangshen Sect followed the order and left, actually displaying some professional military demeanor.

Under the dark night, a catastrophe is gradually approaching.

The Yumen Prefecture Yamen is slightly different from the city halls of other mobile cities. In addition to the prefect in power, most of the staff members work in shifts to ensure that they can respond to emergencies in a timely manner 24 hours a day.

Among the current priests of the Yangshen Sect, Mu Luo is not the strongest one, but his cruelty and cunning are deeply trusted by the Yangshen Guardian Zun Ze.

The previous battle against the Yumen reconnaissance team also showed that this was not an opponent that could be defeated simply by brute force.

There were as many as forty or fifty cultists who followed Mu Luo towards the government office. Among them were those who had sneaked in with him disguised as members of the caravan, as well as spies who were stationed in the city by the Yangshen Cult and had escaped the previous wave of purges.

It would be like throwing an egg against a rock to confront the border guards with their fighting power. However, if they only relied on the security guards of the government office, and they were acting with intent, the situation would be hard to predict.

However, the strange thing is that Mu Luo felt strange as he walked away... Are the streets of Yumen too quiet?

"stop!"

He raised his right hand suddenly.

Something is wrong! It's too quiet! This is not the state a city should be in!

"Retreat! Quickly!"

The cultists showed amazing execution ability and turned around, preparing to evacuate along the same way they came.

However, at this moment, the night sky above everyone's heads began to brighten rapidly, and after just a few seconds it turned into complete daylight. Even the two moons hanging high in the sky turned gloomy and gloomy, as if a heavy rain would fall at the next moment.

This extremely shocking change of day and night not only made the cultists close their eyes, but also filled their hearts with fear and panic...

Only the Yangshen priest Mu Luo quickly activated his staff and stared into the distance with gritted teeth.

"Fairy in the painting!"

Before he finished speaking, ripples appeared in the space before the eyes of everyone, and light ink blossomed, taking shapes like lotus flowers that emerge from the mud without being stained.

Then, a figure slowly emerged from it.

It was Xi who was as cold and indifferent as a fairy from the Moon Palace in Chongxiao's eyes...

"You know me?"

"Hehehe... How could I not know?"

Mu Luo's expression was grim, yet it also had a feeling of a trapped beast fighting hard. "You have been in Yumen for more than three months. If we still don't know your name, wouldn't it be too obvious to others?"

The implication is to boast about how timely and accurate the intelligence of the Yangshen Sect is.

But unfortunately, Xi is not a suitable listener.

"Then you can tell me, what is my name?"

The Yangshen Priest's expression froze on his face.

No? Big sister, why don't you play by the rules? Can't you let me show off before the fight starts?

Little did he know that Xi not only didn't intend to let him act cool, but didn't even want to waste words on him... The question he just asked was just a casual remark, and he had no intention of talking to these guys at all.

So the next moment, Xi's figure crossed time and space and appeared in front of Mu Luo.

There was a faint flash of light in his hand, and a three-foot green sword suddenly appeared, stabbing straight towards the head of the Yangshen Priest, without showing any mercy.

At the critical moment of life and death, Muro's Originium skill exploded directly, and black energy like thorns gushed out, forming a twisted barrier around him.

Although this barrier only lasted for less than half a second before being pierced and shattered by Xi's three-foot green sword, it was enough for Mu Luo to escape, and he was not killed with one blow.

"Master Priest!"

"I dedicate my life to the Sun God!"

"Kill her!"

The cultists rushed forward, shouting, and it was unclear whether they were stupid or brave.

Xi was naturally not polite either. Without moving her body, she raised her jade hand lightly, and countless ink balls emerged from the cracks in the bluestone floor and the buildings on both sides of the street, transforming into strange-looking creatures.

Xiaozao, who looks like a gnawing beast and rushes fast; Ayao, who moves in groups and is naive; Bixian, who is long and sharp-toothed and moves strangely; Taoxian, who is heavily armored and powerful; Zhamu, who is reckless and good at charging; and Shengru, who is strong and powerful and has a ferocious look...

What truly gives life to the world in the painting are not just the "imitations" that imitate human paintings, but also these creations that Xi calls "Ink Spirits".

"go with!"

Xi, dressed in long fluttering robes, shouted lightly and pointed the three-foot-long sword at the cultists led by Mu Luo.

The creatures in the world of the painting took steps forward, and in a moment they came together to fight with the cultists, engaging in hand-to-hand combat... For a moment, strong winds and roars flew together, and blood and ink were the same color, forming a picture of magnificence and death intertwined.

Xi did not participate in the siege, but always kept his target on Mu Luo. When his figure flashed, he always stayed by his side, making the Yangshen priest who was good at conspiracy and intrigue complain.

The seemingly ordinary three-foot green sword had nothing special about it, but it could easily deal with his Originium skills and shatter all the shadows and energy in mid-air.

Mu Luo didn't know that Xi himself possessed absolute power. He thought that the other party could apply the Originium technique to his weapon. Otherwise, he would not have persisted and waited for Lord Ze to come to his rescue.

But facing such a powerful fairy in the painting, how long can he last?

……

Putting aside Muro and others who were quietly incorporated into the world of the painting, Akira, who was responsible for leading the largest group of cultists to the densely populated areas, also encountered an opponent that made him feel a little desperate.

The border defense force led by Zuo Xuanliao.

The soldiers who had actually fought on the brutal battlefield would not say any nonsense. When the cultists led by Arachi entered the ambush circle, they were hit head-on by crossbow arrows that tore through the air. Even the bodies of two cultists were torn apart directly.

The Feiyu Camp's compound crossbow is a weapon designed with the participation of the Dayan Momen. Although it is a single-soldier equipment, it can exert the same power as a small crossbow cannon.

Not to mention the cultists, even a fully armed officer might not be able to take an arrow head-on.

But this is just the beginning...

"Don't panic! Scatter! Kill anyone you see!"

Arachi of the Pelo tribe has a personality completely different from his seemingly short and thin image. He is famous for his cruelty and ruthlessness even within the Yangshen Sect.

A normal person's first reaction after being ambushed is to focus on defense or quickly break out and evacuate, but his order was to launch a counterattack on the spot... To be honest, if the ambush troops are not strong enough, then this wave of counterattack may really have a miraculous effect.

Unfortunately, the Feiyu Battalion of the Border Defense Forces could not be classified as “insufficient in strength” in any way.

The area for the ambush was not selected in advance... Zuo Xuanliao had already deployed the soldiers of the Feiyu Camp throughout Yumen. Once the whereabouts of the cultists were discovered, they would immediately gather at the reporting point in order to catch them off guard.

As for the civilians living here, they were evacuated elsewhere in advance, otherwise the ambush could have been launched even twenty minutes earlier.

Apart from Yumen, which is itself a war fortress, there are few mobile cities on this land that can achieve such efficient personnel mobilization and combat operations.

More and more crossbow arrows were shot out from the darkness, and the screams of the cultists were heard one after another. Arachi soon realized that the ones who attacked him were not a patrol team, but an intentional ambush by the Yumen defenders.

Without having time to think about how they discovered it, Arachi directly gave orders to the warlocks behind him.

"Don't worry about those arrow shooters! Just blow up the surrounding buildings, quick!"

Before he could finish his words, a crossbow arrow flew straight towards his head... Apparently, an ambushing crossbowman from the Flying Feather Camp noticed the commander Arachi.

However, how could a person who could become a priest of the Yang God be a mediocre guy?

Arachi instantly raised his oddly shaped right hand, and shot a crossbow arrow that could tear a human body into pieces. It actually made a sound of metal clashing, and sparks flew! ?

"……What it is?"

Zuo Xuanliao, who was always paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, noticed the unusual situation at a glance.

He immediately set up a telescope and looked over, only to see that Arachi's body covered in a black robe was twisting strangely, gradually becoming taller and stronger... Soon, the black robe was torn apart by the protruding bone spurs and scattered on the ground.

However, the Yangshen Priest Arachi has almost lost his human form. Just like Yang Yunxing, most of his body is covered with disgusting biological tissues, turning him into a monster that combines the characteristics of humans and Originium worms.

At the same time, the warlocks of the Yangshen Cult also began to launch indiscriminate bombings in the surroundings, forcing the Feiyu Battalion hiding in various ambush positions to evacuate their locations, and the suppressive firepower was immediately reduced by half.

The cultists who suffered heavy casualties were not defeated. Instead, they became extremely ferocious and began to pursue the retreating Feiyu Battalion.

"General!"

"It's just a dying struggle..."

Zuo Xuanliao put down the telescope. "Tie Feng, Chu Liangcheng, you two lead the vanguard team to support Kang Zirong from the flanks and kill those monsters who try to rush out! But remember not to get close to the mutant, let Meng Tieyi deal with him! Master Qin, I'll leave those sorcerers to your people."

Commands were transmitted through the adjutant's communicator, achieving precise "micro-control" on the chaotic battlefield.

Zuo Xuanliao, who had guarded Yumen for twenty years, had always been unquestionable in his ability. If it were not for the purpose of giving an explanation to the people and the fallen soldiers, Shendu would have no need to send General Zhenbei to replace him.

However, this battle that he was sure to win did not completely relax his frown.

Because the battle that really decides the outcome is not here...

Military Advisor Wu, I hope you can get rid of that powerful enemy.

……

The powerful enemy that Zuo Xuanliao mentioned is the leader of all the cultists who are now attacking Yumen: Yangshen Protector Zun, Ze.

After assigning Muro and Alaqi out, the Dharma Protector did not keep anyone by his side, nor did he launch an attack on any important institutions in Yumen. Instead, he changed direction and directly climbed onto the city wall of Yumen.

During this time, several soldiers on duty who tried to stop him were brutally killed and their bodies showed signs of severe decomposition.

After staring at the corpses for a few seconds, Ling bowed silently, then walked around them and came to the city wall.

Ze had no intention of hiding, but just stood under the flag of the border guards, staring at something in a trance.

"Tonight, you will all be executed."

"Fu Zhu..."

He turned around and looked at Ling who was walking slowly. "Just like you guys...did it back then, right, sir?"

Chapter 105: The Third Style, Taixu Meteorite Thunder

Zun Ze, the guardian of Yangshen Sect, is a low-profile person in the intelligence held by the border guards and the Five-Party Alliance, but he is definitely a person that cannot be ignored.

Ten years ago, when the Shanhai people disguised as gangsters sneaked into Yumen, caught the border guards off guard and left a large number of corpses, the core members basically escaped the pursuit... Otherwise, Zuo Xuanliao would not have become what he is now.

But not long after, a large number of crazy Shanhai members were captured... They were completely frightened and almost lost the ability to communicate normally, but they could still understand from a few words that Shanhai members were attacked.

The name "Ze" appeared in the mouths of many fugitives at that time.
