Chapter 210 Head-on conflict
Seeing Tushan Yaya leave without saying a word, Ximen Tianyu realized how stupid his question was. Just as he regarded Tushan as his home, the people of Tushan had already regarded him as a very important person. However, according to Tushan Yaya's personality, she would naturally not say such words.
Ximen Tianyu sighed softly, feeling both annoyed and warm in his heart. He understood that although Tushan Yaya seemed indifferent on the surface, her care and concern for the people she cared about was deep and sincere.
He turned and looked at the familiar yet mysterious forest of Tushan, and secretly decided in his heart that he would be more cautious in the future and would not touch her sensitive spots easily.
As night fell, the moonlight in Tushan was particularly bright. Ximen Tianyu strolled on the quiet forest path, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He recalled the time he spent with the people in Tushan. Whether it was the passion of fighting side by side or the little care in daily life, he deeply felt the warmth of home. This emotion was something he could not give up no matter what.
Suddenly, a crisp ring interrupted his thoughts. It was Tushan’s unique alarm sound, rapid and tense, which instantly broke the tranquility of the night.
Ximen Tianyu's face changed, and he immediately realized that Tushan might have been invaded. He quickly gathered his spiritual power and rushed towards the source of the sound like lightning.
Along the way, he met the Tushan tribe members who were also in a hurry, and everyone's eyes were full of worry and determination. Without any extra words, they just nodded in tacit understanding and ran in the direction where they needed support. Ximen Tianyu felt a strong sense of belonging in his heart. He knew that at this moment, he was no longer alone, but a member of the Tushan tribe who shared the same fate.
When he arrived at the scene, he saw a group of uninvited guests trying to break through Tushan's defensive barrier. Before he could make a move, a piercing cold demonic power had already cut through the night sky like an ice blade and went straight to the center of the enemy formation. The familiar figure was Tushan Yaya, with a light figure and cold eyes. Every strike was accurate and deadly, like the most ruthless cold wind in winter, instantly freezing the enemy's offensive.
Ximen Tianyu was surprised and delighted when he saw this. He quickly adjusted his breathing and formed a tacit cooperation with Tushan Yaya. The two of them, one cold and one hot, intertwined their spiritual power and blocked the opponent's attack one by one. Under their leadership, the morale of the Tushan people who came later was greatly boosted. They showed their strongest strength and vowed to defend their homeland to the death.
However, this group of black-clad, masked invaders were clearly not ordinary people. They were agile and coordinated, and seemed to have a certain understanding of Tushan's defense layout. During the battle, some people used strange magical powers from time to time, making the situation more complicated.
Seeing this, Ximen Tianyu was secretly alert in his heart. He knew that a simple armed confrontation might not be able to completely solve the problem. So, while fighting side by side with Tushan Yaya, he secretly observed the enemy's movements and looked for their flaws.
At this moment, Ximen Tianyu noticed a detail - whenever the Tushan people used powerful demonic power to attack, a few of the invaders would always retreat a few steps in tacit understanding, as if to avoid a direct impact of some kind of energy. This subtle movement made him think about it.
He quickly exchanged glances with Tushan Yaya, and the two understood each other and changed their tactics. Ximen Tianyu used his knowledge of formations to set up a seemingly simple but mysterious formation on the battlefield, while Tushan Yaya took the opportunity to release a powerful cold demonic power, covering the entire battlefield in frost.
The invaders were caught off guard by this sudden change. They lost their way in the maze and were almost unable to move due to the freezing power of the demon. The Tushan people took advantage of the situation to fight back and forced the invaders into a desperate situation.
Finally, under the leadership of Ximen Tianyu and Tushan Yaya, the Tushan people successfully repelled the invaders. But before they could catch their breath, the alarm sounded again in the distance.
"That direction is the border!"
Tushan Yaya's face suddenly became solemn. She knew that if the border defense was lost, the consequences would be disastrous. Without a moment's hesitation, she turned around and rushed to the border.
Seeing her like this, Ximen Tianyu followed her without any hesitation. The night was dark, the wind was a bit chilly, and the border of Tushan looked particularly desolate under the moonlight. Ximen Tianyu and Tushan Yaya walked side by side, their figures appearing and disappearing on the rugged mountain road, like two lightning bolts cutting through the darkness.
As they gradually approached the border, the tension in the air grew thicker. In the distance, flames shot up into the sky, shouts of killing, and the roar of demonic forces colliding intertwined, forming a chaotic and tragic picture.
"It seems that the enemy had planned this long ago, and the barrier at the border has been breached."
Tushan Rongrong and Cui Yuling arrived at the border earlier than the two of them. When they saw the two of them, they immediately summarized the current situation and said, "We must defend this place and not let the enemy penetrate into the heart of Tushan."
"I come!"
As the current king of Tushan, Tushan Yaya took a step forward. As the ice brew in the endless wine pot was all drunk, nine slightly illusory white fox tails appeared from behind her, and the demon power of the peak of the great demon king also surged out of her body without reservation, as if to freeze the entire night sky into ice.
Such a strong cold air instantly froze the enemies close to the city wall into ice sculptures. This method also deterred those in the rear, causing them to stop in their tracks, with fear and terror flashing in their eyes, and their offensive also came to a standstill.
"These...are all from the Xiao family..."
After the situation eased temporarily, Ximen Tianyu also stuck his head out and looked at the invaders under the city wall.
Although it was late at night and Ximen Tianyu could not see the specific appearance of the group of people below, he still recognized the spiritual power of several of them. They were the disciples of the Xiao family who had been chasing him at the border of the Southern Kingdom some time ago.
Ximen Tianyu's eyes instantly became sharp. The Xiao family, the family that had a deep hatred for him, now dared to invade Tushan and challenge his bottom line.
"Xiao Family...it seems like it's time to settle our grudge."
He whispered to himself, and the pure sun flame in his body burst out without any concealment, and he was about to rush into the battlefield below.
At the critical moment, it was Tushan Yaya who stopped him in time.
"Tianyu, don't be impulsive." Tushan Rongrong's voice came from behind him in time, "Your anger at this moment will only put yourself in danger."
