Covering the sky: Starting with the holy body, the immortal Taoist comes to attack

Chapter 160 Revenge against the Jie Clan!

"what happened?"

Under the orders of King Nuchi Lengli of the Jie tribe, a Jie general who was closest to the palace gate went out to investigate.

When this Jie general, who was also Nuchi's fifth son, pushed open the gate, his pupils suddenly contracted.

He witnessed a scene that shocked him greatly.

An unknown number of human soldiers had broken through the defenses of Hala City and were wreaking havoc within the city, heading towards the royal palace at the very center.

How could this be?
It should be noted that for the past few decades since the rise of the Jie tribe, they have always been the ones burning, killing, and looting within human territory.

Even the Jie tribe's envoy to the Great Zhou Dynasty, with the indulgence of the ruling Sima family, ran rampant and acted extremely arrogantly and domineeringly in the human territory.

No human had ever dared to run wild in the territory of the Jie tribe, let alone come to the Jie royal city.

The fifth son of Nuchi, who went out to investigate, clearly saw that his originally brave and skilled warriors, caught off guard, not wearing armor, and having drunk some wine, were all beheaded by the human soldiers.

As those hideous and ugly black-haired jackal heads rolled to the ground, they also fell one after another, their bodies reeking of blood and yet undeniably powerful.

And in this process.

Some of the Jie tribe's young boys, though not exactly boys, were quite courageous and brave. Seeing their fathers die tragically, they roared and charged forward, but to no avail. The human soldiers, driven mad by the killing, casually slashed them in two with a loud thud.

Such a bloody and tragic scene shocked and enraged Nuchi's fifth son to the point of having his eyes wide with fury!

In a mere instant, he witnessed the deaths of more than a dozen Jie warriors!

It should be noted that even though the Jie people have risen rapidly in recent years, their numbers are still too small.

Those who died were the backbone of their tribe; every one of them who died was one less.

In the past, if he were fully armored, he would be able to sweep through thousands of people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but now he is slaughtered like a pig or a dog!

"enemy……"

Nuchi's fifth son was about to shout out the words "Enemy attack!"

However, he would never have the chance to utter the second word.

Because, in that very instant, a sharp arrow, like a shooting star, struck his throat, sending him flying several meters backward.

Amidst a streak of bright red blood, and in the shocked and pained wide-eyed gaze of King Nuchi, it all happened.

His fifth son fell heavily backward onto the wide ground in the royal palace.

Nuchi and many other important figures of the Jie tribe could hardly believe their eyes!

What is this?!
While they were holding a meeting in their own capital and in their own royal palace, they witnessed the death of the prince, the fifth son of the Jie tribe, who was shot through by an arrow!
For many years, the Jie people have reigned supreme in this northern border region, even forcing the once mighty Zhou Dynasty to yield and appease them.

And now this has happened, someone dares to attack them?
however.

Their shock did not last long.

The next moment, a burly human general, shrouded in black armor, burst through the door, bringing with him a heavy and tragic aura of killing intent as he stormed into the royal palace.

The human general held a blood-red longsword, and his originally black armor was covered with patches of bright red blood, clearly stained with countless drops of Jie blood!

This scene immediately filled the many Jie people in the hall with shock and anger.

Each of them was a formidable general among the Jie people, who in the past had fought against ten or even a hundred men in the Great Zhou territory, and had killed countless people in places like Luocheng.

Such a being would naturally not be afraid of the human who had broken into the hall.

"Thief!"

In an instant, several Jie warriors, as tall as bears and tigers, stood up and hurled the wooden table in front of them at the human.

And that's not all.

They then drew weapons from the weapon rack behind them and slashed forward, intending to hack the human who had broken in to death.

however.

The next moment, with a loud crash, several wooden tables were kicked away, which instead bounced back onto several Jie people, knocking them backward.

Then, several streaks of blood flew up, and the several Jie generals who had attacked were all cut in two by longswords.

Such a terrifying scene left Nuchi and the others utterly terrified!

Who is this person, to be so ridiculously strong?!

"Nuchi, today is your death day!"

Lai Jiang let out a sharp shout. Although the voice was not loud, it made the eardrums of the Jie people opposite him ring, as if they had been struck by lightning.

The voice sounded quite young, suggesting a young human warrior.

Nuchi felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen this person before.

Before anyone could react...

In the instant their eyes widened in horror, the imposing human warrior charged forward.

Judging from the situation, it seems they're aiming to capture the king first, specifically the Jie king Nuchi!

Such a scene was nothing short of an insult to the many fierce Jie generals present!

Therefore.

"kill!"

Immediately, seven or eight muscular, tall, and strong Jie generals stepped forward, wielding ordinary weapons, to join forces and kill them.

Unfortunately, they were still just throwing their lives away.

With a loud bang, dozens of severed limbs and broken bodies flew everywhere, and a rain of blood fell in the hall, as if it were pouring down, with an extremely heavy smell of blood.

Such a horrific scene was unbearable even for many of the remaining Jie people who were used to killing, and one of them immediately vomited.

in fact.

This is not their fault, because when they kill humans, they naturally do not feel disgusted, but rather enjoy it.

When they see the blood of their own people flowing out so recklessly, they feel uncomfortable, even disgusted and unable to bear it. This is the nature of all living beings.

At this moment, Nuchi finally realized what was happening.

Over the past few decades, the human generals he has fought against have covered, if not all, almost all of the northern border generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But I have never seen a terrifyingly powerful human warrior like this before.

Then that's the only possibility!

At this moment, Nuchi finally remembered the intelligence he had received over the past few days.

Behind a heavy guard, he asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you? Could you be... the King of Zhou?"

Furthermore, the Jie tribe naturally had many spies within the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the northern border army, so their information network was quite extensive.

The Jie people's rapid rise to power over the years owes much to these spies.

Therefore, Nu Chi naturally knew the details of how Gu Xuan destroyed the Sima clan.

Considering the unparalleled martial prowess displayed by the general at this moment, he couldn't help but have some doubts and speculations.

The human warrior who charged in and single-handedly intimidated a group of Jie tribe generals was none other than Gu Xuan.

Several days ago, he led three hundred elite human warriors on a march, their goal being the capital of the Jie tribe.

To catch the thief, first catch the king – that was precisely the objective of Gu Xuan's special operation!

In the battle that has lasted for several days, he once again brought his unparalleled martial prowess to its fullest potential!

During their march, they encountered not only secret guards trying to tip them off, but also small groups of Jie tribe soldiers who tried to obstruct them. However, all of these were utterly annihilated before Gu Xuan's seemingly superhuman fighting prowess.

Often, with a single bend of his bow, he would unleash several sharp arrows, each hitting its mark perfectly, leaving no one with a single blow.

Moreover, the three hundred soldiers he had carefully selected this time were all fierce warriors capable of fighting ten men each. Under the leadership of Gu Xuan, a peerless figure, they fought more and more smoothly and their fighting spirit grew higher and higher.

As a result, later on, all the secret guards and small units were reduced to nothing but piles of limbs and bones in front of the three hundred human special forces led by Gu Xuan.

This is also why they advanced so quickly.

Wherever they went, all the Jie villages and small tribes were wiped out, with not a single survivor.

Few of these dead Jie people deserved to die, as almost all of them had participated in the slaughter of humans.

……

in the hall.

With a question from King Nuchi, filled with shock and anger, Gu Xuan finally replied.

"You're not stupid after all!"

He laughed loudly, and then removed the mask in front of him.

"It's really you!"

At this moment, Nuchi was utterly shocked.

He never expected that His Majesty the King of Zhou would actually come here.

Judging from the situation, they are going to repeat their old tricks, just like when they slaughtered the Sima clan, to capture the king first and then exterminate him, the Jie king!

What shocked Nuchi even more was that the intelligence report did not contain the slightest exaggeration or fabrication regarding His Majesty King Zhou's unparalleled military prowess.

His Majesty the King of Zhou is truly as strong as Emperor Gaozu of the past, capable of fighting against a thousand men!

Even if the Jie tribe were at its peak now, it seems that such a being could not save the life of the Jie king.

Seeing the blood and broken bones scattered all over the hall, Nu Chi, who had killed countless people, finally felt for the first time in his life a sense of insignificance, like an ant facing a dragon, and a fear of death.

Upon seeing Gu Xuan's icy gaze, Nu Chi finally abandoned any thought of resistance and turned to flee.

The mighty King of Jie, the most powerful and ruthless ruler in the history of the Jie people, actually chose to flee.

His martial prowess was among the strongest in the entire land. In the past, he had committed countless atrocities within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it would not be an exaggeration to call him the instigator of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Such a cruel and tyrannical existence chose to cower in fear the moment it met Shang Gu Xuan's gaze.

Such a King Zhou is completely beyond our ability to fight. We can only retreat and try to escape for as long as possible.

If the green hills are left, there is no need to worry about no firewood.

This was the only thought in Nuchi's mind at that moment.

And among his descendants, there were also wise men.

Because of the next moment.

"Retreat first, we're at a huge disadvantage without armor!"

A deep voice rang out, carrying a hint of anxiety, but more so a calm and composed tone, which brought the many Jie people in the hall back to their senses.

The speaker was Taiji, the fourth son of Nuchi. Although he was not the most outstanding in martial arts, he was the most outstanding figure among the younger generation of the Jie tribe.

Over the years, the Jie people have fought in the south and north, constantly expanding their power.

While the foundation laid by the older generation of Jie kings, led by Nuchi, was solid, the contributions of outstanding successors like Taiji were also invaluable.

And then Taiji shouted loudly.

The Jie people in the hall, who had been in shock and anger, finally realized that the so-called King Zhou in front of them was ridiculously strong.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to charge into the royal palace, which was full of fierce Jie generals, and wreak havoc all by himself.

Lacking sufficient self-confidence is tantamount to courting death.

"Hahaha, retreat? Retreat to where!"

Gu Xuan stood tall in the hall, his majestic figure extremely imposing. He was just one person, yet he was like the sun among the stars, so dazzling that it was as if he were the only imposing figure in the hall!

While many other Jie tribesmen were as strong as bears and tigers, they were like ants in his presence.

It's a natural feeling, formed by a certain murderous aura or imposing presence.

Of course, this also made many Jie generals who originally thought highly of themselves very unwilling and resentful, including several of Nuchi's sons who were exceptionally brave.

however.

They were ultimately quite wise, knowing that the King Zhou before them must be an extraordinary master among the human race, just as the intelligence they had heard said!
Therefore.

Inside the main hall, all the important figures of the Jie tribe, including Nuchi, fled in all directions in the first instant, each searching for their own armor and weapons.

Moreover, some of them wanted to call for a large army to come and overwhelm these reckless humans who dared to rush in within the Jie tribe's royal city.

However, they still underestimated Gu Xuan and his group.

next moment.

One by one, fully armed and blood-soaked elite human warriors surrounded the royal palace.

They have either ended or abandoned the killings in the other houses of this royal city.

Most of them went to block the back door and two windows, while a small number followed Gu Xuan's footsteps and stormed into the central royal palace.

The situation was just that absurd.

This is clearly the capital of the Jie tribe, yet right now, the Jie king and other important figures of the Jie tribe have been caught in a trap by the humans.

In the past, this would have been something no one would have dared to imagine; it was even more impossible than trying to negotiate with a tiger.

However, under Gu Xuan's leadership, it actually happened.

This scene once again confirms a rule of cold weapon warfare: a very small number of elite elites who dare to fight, charge, and risk their lives can easily defeat a much larger but disorganized and ineffective mob with just a few words.

In fact.

The Jie people cannot actually be described as a rabble.

However, it was early winter, just as the earth was about to turn cold, and no military organization would think of launching a large-scale attack, while small-scale attacks were unlikely to yield any real results.

But the Jie tribe did not expect that a small human force of only three hundred men, under the leadership of the current Zhou king, would achieve such results.

"Nuchi, do you want to escape?"

In the main hall, Gu Xuan shouted loudly, shaking all the Jie people.

And the next moment, his body moved, at an unimaginable speed.

The generals around Nuchi, including one or two of his sons, only saw a blur before Gu Xuan rushed in front of them.

These fierce Jie warriors instinctively drew their swords to block.

Dang Dang Dang!
They heard a few loud noises, then felt a sharp pain in their necks, and their heads flew off.

King Nuchi of Jie did not live much longer.

Gu Xuan swung his blood-red longsword down with a sudden strike, cleaving the executioner, who had slaughtered countless humans, in two, armor and all, until he was utterly dead.

"Leave no one behind!"

With Gu Xuan's cold command, the human race began a campaign of revenge within the Jie tribe's royal palace!
