I'm a villain in the movies and TV series "All Heavens".

Chapter 39 Junbao, what kind of martial arts are you using?
By now, the Southern Song army has fought its way to the city, leaving less than 2 people, of whom at least one-third are wounded.

The city of Xiangyang has been besieged and attacked by the Yuan and Mongol forces for a long time. Its fortifications are in ruins, and the city is lacking in resources for defense and supplies. It is in a precarious situation and could be breached at any moment.

At this moment, Qiu Xue was fighting against a Mongolian lama master.

That lama was extremely powerful; even compared to Qiu Xue, their strength was comparable.

However, Qiu Xue had been fighting on the city walls all day since morning, and she was exhausted and her condition was not as good as before.

Meanwhile, the Mongolian lamas, having conserved their energy, were in their prime.

As the battle dragged on, Qiu Xue was injured in several places. The lama's weapon was a pair of strange golden bowls with exceptionally sharp edges.

The sharp edge of the golden bowl would leave a bloody mark on Qiu Xue whenever it grazed her. When the bowl was struck, it produced a tremendous sonic boom that disturbed everyone's peace of mind.

Exhausted, Qiu Xue was finally caught off guard by the lama expert, who knocked her longsword away with a single blow.

Seeing that Qiu Xue's weapon was gone, the lama expert was overjoyed. This Han Chinese woman had recently killed quite a few Yuan Mongol warriors.

The Khan has offered a huge reward for her head. If I kill her, wouldn't I immediately be showered with glory and wealth?

The excited lama master twirled his hand, and another golden bowl in his hand flashed towards Qiu Xue's neck.

Zhang Junbao, who had just destroyed a siege ladder and slaughtered Mongol soldiers, happened to witness this scene from a short distance away. Terrified, and seeing Qiu Xue in dire straits, he immediately hurled his long sword with all his might towards the lama expert.

The longsword, thrown with all its might by Zhang Junbao, created sonic booms in the air, clearly demonstrating its immense power.

The lama, who had intended to kill Qiu Xue, saw the rushing blade and could no longer think of anything else. In the face of the unstoppable force, he was caught off guard.

He could only instinctively use the golden bowl in his hand to block, but this block caused him to lose his balance. The golden bowl, which was originally aimed at Qiu Xue's neck, was greatly deflected and instead grazed Qiu Xue's shoulder, bringing with it a spray of blood.

Exhausted as before, Qiu Xue suffered a severe blow and immediately let out a miserable groan before collapsing to the ground. Blood gushed from her wounds, quickly forming a pool of blood beneath her.

Seeing Qiu Xue so badly injured, Zhang Junbao's eyes instantly turned red. In a few strides, he had already crossed the distance between them, and suddenly threw a punch, slamming it into the lama master's golden alms bowl.

"Boom..."

Amidst the resounding crash of the golden bowl, the lama master was forced back several steps by Zhang Junbao's full-force punch.

The horrified lama, after a flash of fear in his eyes, cursed loudly and called for reinforcements.

"This kid is tough. Timur, Chaghan, come help me quickly."

With Zhang Junbao and Qiu Xue no longer in charge, Xiangyang sent two more Yuan-Mongol experts to climb the city wall.

At the shout of the lama master, two extremely strong Mongolian men turned and charged toward them.

One of them held a shield in one hand and an enormous axe in the other, clearly a fierce general with immense strength.

The other person was clad in heavy armor and wielded a giant spiked club; he was no less formidable.

Seeing Qiu Xue's pale face not far away, Zhang Junbao was extremely anxious.

The Mongol expert named Timur, even from a distance, had already begun his running start to gain momentum. When he was several meters away from Zhang Junbao, he suddenly leaped into the air, his massive shield crashing down on Zhang Junbao like a falling comet.

Zhang Junbao was currently being relentlessly pursued by the skilled lama, and it was too late for him to dodge. Looking at the mountain-like attack and at Qiu Xue, who was pale-faced and trying to get up to help in the distance, Zhang Junbao felt as if time had stopped.

With a simple gesture, he drew a circle with his left hand, his body moving at will. With a slight pull of his right hand, the giant shield that had descended from the sky was completely deviated from its intended direction.

"boom……"

After a loud bang, the attack that was originally aimed at Zhang Junbao actually slammed into the golden alms bowl of the lama master.

Completely unprepared, the attacking lama was struck in the chest by the large shield that had been gathering power for a long time, which instantly shattered the golden bowl's protective barrier.

"what……"

After letting out a shrill scream, the lama master gushed blood from his mouth like a fountain. He was sent flying several meters away, and before he even hit the ground, he was already lifeless.

Timur himself, who launched the attack, was also terrified.

After forcing Zhang Junbao back with a circular slash of his giant axe, he stared at Zhang Junbao with some surprise and vigilance, and then kept increasing the distance between the two.

Zhang Junbao's bizarre attack methods made him uneasy, and before he could figure out what was going on, he was already hesitant to fight Zhang Junbao any longer.

At that moment, the sound of retreating troops suddenly rang out from below the city.

The two Mongol experts glared at Zhang Junbao with hatred, carefully memorizing his appearance, before quickly retreating down the city wall via the siege ladder.

……

Zhang Junbao watched the two retreat, his figure as upright as a pine tree. Only after watching them leave the city wall did he suddenly press his hand to his chest, and a mouthful of blood that had been accumulating for a long time spurted out.

Several soldiers nearby saw Zhang Junbao vomiting blood and rushed forward to ask him what was wrong.

"Master Zhang, what happened to you? Are you badly injured? Quickly, quickly call a doctor for Master Zhang and Lady Qiu."

……

Zhang Junbao raised his hand to indicate to the soldiers that he was alright before dragging his tired body and walking quickly toward Qiu Xue.

At this moment, he was very worried about Qiu Xue's injuries, and he was eager to find out her current condition.

The soldiers quickly summoned medical personnel from the city.

Zhang Junbao knelt beside Qiu Xue with worry. Watching the doctor skillfully stop the bleeding and treat Qiu Xue's wounds, the worry and tenderness in his eyes were palpable.

Seeing Zhang Junbao's appearance, Qiu Xue's pale face flushed slightly. She gently comforted him, "Junbao, I'm fine. It's just a superficial injury. I won't die."

After a moment, Qiu Xue seemed to remember something and suddenly asked Zhang Junbao curiously:

"Junbao, I was really scared when those three ganged up on you just now. But you're really amazing, you even managed to kill one of them. By the way, what kind of martial art was that move you used just now? How could it be so powerful?"
