The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 312 Ambush (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote for the monthly ticket)
The air crackled and countless sword energies cut through the air.

The cold sword intent turned the area within a few feet into a desolate place; even the air became icy and snowflakes began to float.

The murderous intent is as cold as snow.

All of Li Shisanlang's true energy burst out, and his body even felt like it was being torn apart.

The murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised; this was his ultimate move.

The sword light covered all directions, there was no escape or avoidance.

Facing his life-and-death killing move, even the world's most talented person would have no chance of survival!
The reason why Li Shisanlang is not considered a genius of the time is only because he is over thirty years old. It does not mean that his strength is not enough.

In his eyes, those geniuses of the time were nothing more than children who had not grown up.

He, Li Shisanlang, is the strongest person in the Jindan realm!
Even a genius like Su Mu could only resist a few of his moves at most.

Just now I was just thinking about sparring with him and didn't fight hard, so I let this guy gain the upper hand.

It doesn't matter if you have a slight advantage when I'm not fighting hard, but when I start fighting hard, you have no choice but to retreat.

When masters compete with each other, fighting desperately or not are two completely different concepts.

A grim smile appeared on Li Shisanlang's face.

Facing Li Shisanlang's killing move, the expression on Su Mu's face became solemn.

This Shisan Li is not well-known, but his strength is indeed at the pinnacle. Judging from his appearance, he is only half a step away from the Jindan realm.

Even the Thirteenth Prince of the Demon Court was far inferior to this Li Shisanlang.

The current genius of the Sword Sect was even more outshined.

The opponent's strength is infinitely close to the Jindan stage. If he had not improved the Qiankun Wuliang Zhenyuan Jue to the perfect level before coming here, he might not be his opponent.

But now——

The sword intent has already fallen on Su Mu, and there is even a hint of pride in Li Shisanlang's eyes. He feels that his bottleneck has begun to loosen.

Yes, that's what it feels like.

This is the battle I've been looking forward to.

As long as he kills Su Mu, he will be able to take this last step and become a Jindan realm expert!
At this moment, suddenly, Su Mu's figure shattered like a dream bubble.

His indestructible sword intent directly pierced through Su Mu's figure, and then fell on the hard rock, making a puffing sound.

Tiny holes suddenly appeared on the rock.

Su Mu, dead?
wrong!

Li Shisanlang snorted coldly.

In an instant, he felt a breeze blowing around him and a sense of crisis loomed everywhere.

Ding!
He slashed with his sword, metal clashed, and Su Mu's figure appeared from the left.

Before he could continue his attack, another Su Mu appeared on the right.

Li Shisanlang didn't even think twice, the true energy in his body surged and the sword intent was like the sea water, whistling and slashing in all directions.

Illusion?

His sword intent is best at indiscriminate attacks!

Puff puff!
Amidst a series of explosions.

The sword intent chopped both Su Mu into sieves.

Li Shisanlang snorted coldly, "You are indeed quite strong. You can be my opponent for a while. It will be your lifetime honor to be my stepping stone to the Jindan realm. Now, you can die."

Li Shisanlang unleashed his killing move again, and the sword intent condensed into an extremely huge long sword, sweeping forward fiercely.

As the light and shadow flashed, several Su Mu appeared from all directions at the same time.

Those Su Mus used different moves and attacked from all directions.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

Amid the sound of metal clashing, Li Shisanlang's pupils shrank slightly.

He had seen many illusions, but what Su Mu was using now did not seem to be an illusion.

Every Su Mu seemed real.

Every attack can become real.

"This is--"

Before Li Shisanlang could figure out what was going on, he felt that his sword intent had been broken.

Su Mu's strength has increased dramatically!
In an instant, a sense of crisis of death surged into my heart.

Li Shisanlang stepped back subconsciously.

At this moment, Su Mu's body suddenly swelled.

Physical supernatural powers, giant body.

Ten times the size, ten times the strength.

An instant explosion, and a knife chopped down.

Not to mention that Li Shisanlang had been fighting with him for a long time and had consumed a lot of physical energy.

Even if Li Shisanlang was in his prime, he would not be able to withstand an explosion of ten times the power.

As the flames rose, the three-legged tripod merged into the blade, slashing in from above Li Shisanlang's head and out from under his crotch.

split into two.

The knife was too fast and too fierce.

Li Shisanlang's body remained intact, standing in mid-air. After two full breaths, his two halves fell to the sides.

Blood mixed with internal organs immediately spilled all over the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt barbecue.

"If you are the number one person in the Jindan realm, then what am I?"

Looking at Li Shisanlang's body, Su Mu breathed slightly and murmured to himself.

Danjie realm.

He looked up at the sky, his heart full of longing.

Li Shisanlang wanted to use him as a stepping stone to reach the Jindan realm, and Su Mu had the same idea.

After the battle with Li Shisanlang, he had vaguely touched the threshold of the Jindan realm.

The next step is to find a way to break through to the Jindan realm.

Seeing that the people at the foot of the mountain had already started to rush up the mountain, Su Mu quickly touched Li Shisanlang's body.

Unfortunately, Li Shisanlang is a poor man. Apart from the good sword, he has nothing else.

Even the sword had been cut off by Su Mu's blow with ten times the explosive power.

This trip was a loss.

Su Mu said to himself.

In order to fight against Li Shisanlang, he spent a lot of merit points to exchange for resources, and also asked Prince Gong to bring 30,000 taels of gold to buy Longyuan Dan.

Although all these were transformed into his strength, he was unable to make any profit from Li Shisanlang, and he always felt that he had lost out.

"It doesn't matter. Your master, Prince Su Li Shu, will be held responsible for this."

Su Mu said to himself.

At this moment, the people at the foot of the mountain had already rushed up.

After seeing that Su Mu was safe and sound and there was another body on the ground, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dead? With this strength, you dare to challenge our Taiping Division like this?"

A Taiping Division pacification envoy spoke up and poked Li Shisanlang with his scabbard.

"You are not even at the Dan realm, how can you have the guts to challenge the genius of our Taiping Division?"

Everyone: "..."

You’re not in the Jindan stage now, so are you too embarrassed to say hello to people when they go out?

Speaking of which, there are so many people here, but there isn’t even one person in the Jindan stage.

"Well, he's actually pretty strong."

Su Mu said, "He is Li Daren's disciple and also Su Wang Li Shu's man.

By the way, has the General Office responded? What about Prince Su's suspected rebellion? "

As soon as Su Mu said this, the smiles on the faces of everyone who were originally excited immediately disappeared.

"No news."

A pacification envoy shook his head and said, "We have lost contact with the capital."

"Lost contact? What do you mean?"

Su Mu frowned.

"You were preparing for the battle a few days ago, so we didn't tell you in detail."

A pacification envoy from the Xiangzhou Taiping Division said, "We sent out several waves of people before, but found that the road from Xiangzhou to the capital had been blocked by Prince Su's troops. In other words, the court has no idea what happened in Xiangzhou now."

"Prince Su is planning to take Xiangzhou, and then use Yuzhou and Xiangzhou as bases to attack the capital."

Another person spoke up.

Yuzhou has soldiers and Xiangzhou has grain. If Xiangzhou is captured, Prince Su Li Shu will have a granary.

"Is there no other way?"

Su Mu asked in a deep voice.

“It may take months to find a new path.”

Everyone shook their heads and said.

"Has Yuzhou already sent troops to Xiangzhou?"

Su Mu asked.

"The troops are already being mobilized."

A pacifier said with a heavy heart.

Su Mu's heart also sank.

Xiangzhou is a prosperous place with few troops. Prince Su has been operating in Yuzhou for many years and has a strong army. How can Xiangzhou resist?
"Where's Dongfang Liuyun? Has he come back?"

Su Mu continued to ask.

Everyone still shook their heads.

Apart from rescuing Meng Wanjun, there is really no good news.

Su Mu frowned and thought, but he couldn't think of any solution.

He was just an ordinary Taiping Division pacification envoy, with some personal strength, but he was really not good at leading troops in battle.

Just when everyone was silent, suddenly, the sound of messy footsteps was heard.

"My Lords, this is bad!"

A Taiping lieutenant rushed up the cliff first, panting and saying, "A large number of elite soldiers suddenly appeared around us and have surrounded us!"

Su Mu and the others looked at each other, and their hearts sank.

"Li Shisanlang is only the apparent one. Their real purpose is to lure us here and then annihilate us in one fell swoop!"

A pacification envoy suddenly realized.

Li Shisanlang challenged Su Mu. It is conceivable that the Taiping Division would not allow Su Mu to go to the meeting alone, and all the people from the Taiping Division in Xiangzhou Prefecture would definitely gather.

Using this as bait, we will wipe out all the people from the Taiping Division of Xiangzhou Prefecture here...

Xiangzhou's military strength is already small. If all the people from the Taiping Division of the prefecture die here, then the troops of Yuzhou will be able to march straight in...

But how did Yuzhou do it?
So many people entered Xiangzhou and they were not discovered?

Su Mu rubbed his brows and once again had a personal experience of Xiangzhou's defense.

The people of Xiangzhou, who have lived in a prosperous place for a long time, really don't even have the most basic vigilance.

There is no point in pursuing these issues now.

Everyone looked at Su Mu.

Even those pacification envoys of the Taiping Division of Xiangzhou Prefecture, who had much more seniority than Su Mu, looked at Su Mu at this moment.

Su Mu was a little helpless.

You see, I'm useless.

I'm just a Zhenyuan realm warrior, not a pervert like Li Tingkui.

I really don’t have the ability to turn things around.

"The enemy's troops have surrounded this place. I'm afraid the state capital will not be spared."

Su Mu was silent for a moment and said slowly.

Before, whether in Wuling City or Huju Pass, although they were facing difficulties, they could always look forward to reinforcements.

There is not even a single reinforcement in Xiangzhou now.

This is a dead end no matter how you look at it.

Since Prince Su Li Shu has already sent out his troops, he must have made preparations long ago.

In just a short while, the sound of armor rubbing against each other could be heard from the foot of the mountain.

At least two thousand people appeared at the foot of Niujiao Cliff.

These are not ordinary people, they are all fully armed and well-equipped soldiers.

The good news is that Niujiao Cliff has a unique terrain, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The bad news is that there is no water or food on the mountain. Even if the enemy does not attack, but just traps them here, they will be dead in ten days or half a month.

"We have more than a hundred people, a twenty-fold gap..."

Some people have already started comparing the strength of both sides.

They do not have the advantage in numbers, but among them there are more than a hundred people, the weakest of whom is the Tianping Duwei who is at the Blood Exchange Realm, and they also have Su Mu and Mo Xuesong, two geniuses of the time.

In addition to the two of them, the three pacification envoys of the Taiping Division of Xiangzhou Prefecture, Wu Yiqi, Huo Zhenting and Yang Zheng, are also in the Zhenyuan realm.

All in all, they are not without the ability to fight.

"Being trapped here means we are doomed. In this case, let's rush out before they gain a foothold."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

He is not good at leading troops in battle, but he is good at killing people.

"Kill!"

Everyone looked at each other, with determination on their faces.

…………

Shouts of killing soon rang out.

The sounds of bowstrings and weapons clashing echoed in the mountains.

The people from the Taiping Division, as well as the people from the Supervisory Division who came with them, fought with the rebels on the mountain road.

Su Mu walked in the front, swords drawn, and every time he swung his arm, a rebel would fall down.

The rebels' fine armor was like paper under his sword and was torn apart in an instant.

Su Mu did not show off his skills, he did not even perform any visions.

He simply used the most labor-saving and direct method to take the life of the enemy in front of him.

There are at least two thousand elite soldiers. Even if they just stand there and let him kill them, they will be exhausted.

What's more, there are many powerful warriors among these soldiers.

The mountain road was covered in blood, and those who fell included rebels, the Taiping Commandant, and the Inspector.

Su Mu slashed with his sword, splitting a rebel in half, with blood spurting out.

Suddenly, a flash of knife light burst out.

A jingle.

Su Mu swung his sword, and amid the sound of metal clashing, the opponent only took a step back and then blocked the path down the mountain.

A warrior in the Zhenyuan realm!
There are actually True Yuan Realm warriors among the rebels!
"Su Mu, you are very powerful. Even Shisanlang died in your hands. If you are willing to surrender and submit to the prince, I can spare your life."

The Zhen Yuan realm general said in a deep voice, "With my three thousand elite soldiers, there is no way you can escape!"

"is it?"

Su Mu kept fighting and repelled the soldiers who surrounded him from both sides.

"who are you?"

Su Mu asked in a deep voice, "If I surrender to you, what benefits can you promise me?"

"Listen carefully, I am the Prince Su, the vanguard of the Northern Expedition, Zhang Ming."

The general of the True Yuan Realm said, "My brother-in-law is a general under the command of Prince Su——"

Before he finished speaking, the knife light had already filled his pupils.

he shouted.

jingle.

The long sword broke, and Zhang Ming flew backwards, with blood splattering into the sky.

"If you want to recruit me, at least your brother-in-law should come. Are you qualified as a pioneer?"

Su Mu followed like a shadow, rushing forward more than ten feet in an instant. Wherever he passed, human figures were thrown into the air.

The rebels shouted loudly, and several cold lights shot out from all directions, working together to stop Su Mu's forward momentum.
