Chapter 30: Page 30

She held her forehead and sighed, wondering why she always came to the wrong place?

Could it be that I have some strange physique...

The girl sitting in the corner looked around, trying to find a chance to leave.

However, the entire Congyi Conference is now filled with a religious-like atmosphere of fanaticism and seriousness, and it seems that any slightly special action will attract attention.

She could only find the right time to sneak away.

Just as I was planning how to escape, a light hissing sound suddenly fell into my ears.

Xi Heng was attracted by the strange sound. He looked over and saw an ordinary-looking warrior throwing something into the sky.

A brown-gray round object rose high into the sky, attracting the attention of many people.

After just one second, the force of the throw was exhausted and the brown thing stopped in the air.

The next moment, it suddenly exploded in the sky, exploding into colorful and gorgeous fireworks.

"boom--"

The deafening sound of firecrackers made the girl's heart tremble.

Is this a time to celebrate? Why are we setting off fireworks?

Just as Xi Heng was thinking of something, sounds like military shouting and charging suddenly rang out from all directions.

"Kill the thief, kill the thief!"

"The government should kill the bandits and suppress the bandits! All idle people should leave!"

The sounds from outside were like thousands of troops charging at the same time, making people feel uneasy.

"There's a traitor?!" The warriors suddenly became panicked.

"Don't panic!" Zhang Luoyi, who was standing in the center, shouted after a moment of stagnation: "There are not many soldiers in Jinshi City now! Most of the guards and constables in the city were killed or injured by us during the fire last night! They are just bluffing!"

But hearing the noisy sounds of the charge coming from all directions, no one believed her words anymore.

The scene became chaotic for a moment. A warrior leaped up and looked outside, then said in panic: "There are soldiers outside! We are surrounded!"

Many warriors opened their eyes wide and immediately questioned the people from Huangmei Mountain: "You call this not enough soldiers? Go and see for yourself!"

"How is it possible!" Zhang Luoyi still couldn't believe it. He immediately left the arena using Qinggong and looked outside over the wall.

However, they saw thousands of soldiers arranged in battle array, surrounding the venue with guns and shields in hand, shouting and marching towards the martial arts competition venue.

All officers and soldiers were wearing armor and marching in unison. Sword and shield soldiers and spearmen advanced in an orderly manner, followed by some sword-wielding archers.

They were like gods descending from heaven, having been hiding somewhere unknown before and suddenly appearing out of nowhere.

A black and red flag was held high among the officers and soldiers. The flag fluttered in the wind and had two big Chinese characters "Jinshi" printed on it.

"The garrison in Jinshi City?" Zhang Luoyi looked at him with wide eyes. She had never heard of this news.

She was panicked and angry at first, then immediately turned to look at the green-turbaned figures in the martial arts meeting:

"Didn't you Tianliang people say that the troops stationed in Jinshi City were all sent to the south?!"

The warriors wearing green scarves were obviously at a loss and unable to answer.

The officers and soldiers got closer and closer, and the tightly closed door was suddenly smashed open, and groups of soldiers in small square formations walked in.

Most of the warriors in the martial arts meeting had not yet returned to Huangmei Mountain. When they saw the government soldiers entering, they immediately fled.

The rout of these people caused widespread panic. It has always been difficult for warriors to unite as one since ancient times, and now it was even more so as they faced a disaster and each of them fled. Most of the warriors disappeared quickly.

Zhang Luoyi still wanted to make amends. If the thousands of Qi and blood warriors here could work together, even if they could not fight against the officers and soldiers, they could at least escape in a group.

But no one listened to her cries at this moment. The shouts of the enemy drowned out her words, and the warriors quickly disappeared.

"How could this be..." She stretched out her hand to try to stop him.

As the officers and soldiers formed a battle array and entered the front yard of the venue, the martial arts sects that had originally agreed to join the Huangmeishan Army also began to flee along with the other warriors.

In the chaos, only her companions from Huangmeishan were able to stop the oncoming soldiers.

At the beginning, these Ming Jin warriors could easily knock a few people away, and their eyes were full of bravery.

But as the spears surrounded them and the sharp blades kept stabbing at them, leaving bloody marks on their bodies and even piercing their flesh, they gradually lost their strength and could no longer resist.

"Third Senior Sister! Let's go!" A hand grabbed Zhang Luoyi's arm and dragged her backwards.

"I have failed my master, so I might as well fight a life-and-death battle with the soldiers today..." The woman struggled.

"This is not Third Senior Sister's fault. As long as there is life, there is hope!"

……

Xi Heng was still on the bench, wondering whether he should escape quickly.

She participated in this kind of righteous warrior conference. If she continued to stay here as a warrior, she would definitely be caught by the soldiers... It would be better for her to take out the jade pendant to prove her identity as a princess.

But if that happens, he will still be taken to the capital...

"Sure enough, we should run with the other warriors. But I heard that this place is surrounded. I don't know if we can escape..." She stood up and looked in the direction where people were fleeing.

From time to time, screams and shouts of pain could be heard from that direction, as if the warriors were trying hard to fight a way out and escape.

While Xi Heng was still hesitating, a murderous aura suddenly came from behind him——

She turned around subconsciously and saw a man in tight clothes holding a sword had drawn his sword and was rushing towards her.

"What's going on?" Xi Heng was suddenly attacked and subconsciously took a step to the side to avoid the attack.

"It was you who killed my senior brother! Give me your life!" The man's eyes were red and full of anger.

He twisted his wrist again and slashed straight towards Xi Heng.

Clang——

The two swords collided and sparks flew. The blade that Xi Heng pulled out trembled slightly, and his eyes became more serious.

She finally remembered that she had seen this man before. He was the inconspicuous guy who came with Yingmiansong from Qingsong Sword Hall when Hongxian Sword Hall was kicked out a few months ago, and left with Yingmiansong's corpse.

"Oh, you are the one who..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Take the sword!" When the man's sword was blocked, he turned around and slashed from another direction.

Xi Heng swung his arm, and the sword blade moved from blocking in front of him to blocking behind him.

Another bang sounded, and after blocking it, Xi Heng stepped back, but did not notice the step under his feet. He was unbalanced for a moment, and could only use his strength to take another step, leaping into the sky with the posture of light skill, and adjusting his body shape in the short time in the air.

But the opponent jumped up without hesitation, and the sword blade was like a meteor pointing towards him day and night.

Xi Heng swung his sword in the air to block, then pinched his left ring finger, middle finger and thumb.

"Fu!" she whispered.

A ray of blood suddenly lit up in front of the three fingers, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a blood arrow, drawing a red line in the air and stabbing towards the attacker.

The man below opened his eyes wide, not knowing what this move was, and could only subconsciously block with his sword.

The blood arrow hit the sword blade, immediately corroding the sword body to almost black, making a hissing sound.

"Poison?" The man seemed to understand: "Insidious!"

It's not poisonous, but the word "insidious" is not wrong.

Xi Heng did not answer. He took this opportunity to land on the ground, stepped forward, and got into position for the Red Line Sword, then began to seriously meet the enemy.

The warriors from Qingsong Sword Hall also landed at the same time, and their bodies stood up as if instinctively, and they turned the sword blade to assume the Qingsong Sword stance.

The two faced each other, and a gentle breeze blew past.

Xi Heng immediately turned the sword and stabbed forward, launching the attack first.

First stab, then tap, and then slash, using a series of moves to break the enemy's posture.

Then, he suddenly pulled his right elbow back, and his qi and blood burst out, using all his strength to lead his wrist to slash down fiercely.

"Heart-wrenching!" She growled, and as the sword slid down, a red light bloomed in front of her.

The sword blade seemed to tear blood out of the air. Before the opponent's sword was fully raised, Xi Heng's sword fell first.

A red light flashed by for a moment, and the girl pulled the sword back.

This move that she had just learned a few days ago seemed to have an afterswing, causing her body to pause for half a second. For a moment, she didn't know what move to use next.

With a slash of sword, the figure opposite stood still.

First, the sword blade broke apart from the part that was stained black by the blood arrow, and the broken sword body fell to the ground with several crisp sounds.

Immediately afterwards, a slanted blood line slowly appeared on the opponent's shoulder and chest.

The blood line split open, revealing the severed flesh and bones, and then blood gushed out.

The enemy fell to the ground in a pool of blood. Xi Heng looked at his hands and then at his sword. He didn't expect this move to be so powerful.

The sword was directly cut off... No, it was also cut at the weak position corroded by the blood arrow.

"It seems that this spell does have some effect..." Xi Heng thought.

"You actually killed my disciple!" Another voice roared.

Xi Heng's face twitched, and she looked over there, and saw another long sword stabbing towards her with a more advanced move in between rotations -

She immediately concentrated her mind and raised her sword to block the attack.

There was a deafening clanging sound, and Xi Heng was pushed back by the huge force.

The next person to arrive was the deputy master of Qingsong Sword Hall, who had challenged the hall together.

"You killed the younger one, and now the older one is here, right?" Xi Heng said coldly, "After I kill you, will anyone else come? Why don't we attack together?"

"How shameless! Take that!" The old man with wrinkles on his face took a step forward and slashed down with his sword.

The surging momentum came with the sword, and Xi Hengxin felt unable to resist.

She grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and tried to block the attack by lifting the sword.

Another clanging sound was heard, and Xi Heng's feet moved slightly, causing cracks to appear on the wooden boards on the ground.

She managed to block it, but her palms were numb from the shock.

The man in front of her was obviously stronger than her. His moves were not as advanced as those of dark energy, but at least he had mastered the skill of bright energy.

Before he could rest for half a second, the opponent slashed at him with another sword.

Xi Heng had already seen what this person was going to do, but he didn't know if he could block it, so he could only instantly block it.

The sword flashed and fell again. This heavy blow almost made the sword slip out of her hand. The pain in her palm made her hands tremble.

"Come again!" There was a bloodshot look in the enemy's eyes. He no longer raised his sword to gather momentum, but instead drew it sideways and back. His body was as stable as a rock.

The next sword was obviously more powerful. Xi Heng didn't want to block it anymore, so he took his left hand off the hilt and spread his five fingers towards the enemy.

"Change!"

Following Xi Heng's low shout, the red bone patterns painted on his forearm suddenly glowed with blood.

Then, her nails grew and expanded wildly with a crackling sound, and instantly took the shape of a small tree's crown.

The nails no longer looked like nails, but like dense branches made of gray bones.

The skeleton had just grown fully, and the opponent had no time to be surprised, and the sword blade slashed down by inertia -

A cold light flashed, leaving a white mark in the air.

The sword blade broke through the newly grown bones, and the sword wind came towards Xi Heng.

Xi Heng tried her best to dodge, but her shoulder was still scratched by the sword wind, and the huge force broke her balance and pushed her backwards.

"Open!" Xi Heng suddenly shouted as he fell backwards.

Suddenly, the skeleton crown spreading from the fingertips fell off and scattered, floating in the air.

Finally, she pushed her hand, and countless broken bones shot towards the enemy like missiles.

With a thud, Xi Heng fell to the ground and quickly stood up. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the enemy's clothes had been torn and pierced by countless broken bones, and countless blood holes appeared on his body. His whole appearance had become blurry and horrified.

The man used his sword to block some of the broken bones. Although he was covered in blood, he still stood there with his eyes wide open.

"What kind of trick is this?" His voice was hoarse and bitter.

Xi Heng did not answer. Based on the principle of continuing to finish off the enemy as long as he was not dead, he reached out to the opponent again.

"Chi!"
