Chapter 207 Killing the Chicken to Frighten the Monkeys

Huang Rong stood on a high place, and from time to time she dispatched people to the city gate for support, and observed carefully. If there were people in danger, she would try her best to help. There were some people around her who could be used to protect her safety and obey her orders.

Without paying attention, I saw two familiar figures beside the city wall.

Huang Rong must be familiar with her own personal guards. Moreover, they are Wu San Tong's adopted daughter and son-in-law, and they have some grudges with Li Mochou. It is hard for her not to know them.

But Huang Rong was puzzled. Why did they go there when she didn't give them any orders? Shouldn't they stay by her side and be ready to be transferred at any time?

Then her eyes focused. Huang Rong was very smart and quickly realized that they must have disobeyed orders and acted on their own.

Huang Rong didn't want to meddle in other people's business at this time. You can do whatever you want. Anyway, she has already given Wu San Tong face. Now it is Wu San Tong who has to give her an explanation.

How many times have we emphasized the importance of obeying orders every day? Only those top masters of the Xiantian realm and Yang Guo, Zhen Zhibing and other top masters of the acquired realm are qualified to act according to circumstances. Who the hell are you, Lu Zhanyuan? How dare you act without regard for military discipline?

If you want to die, just die. It’s hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words.

Huang Rong decided that even if she saw these two people were in danger, she would not send anyone to rescue them. She was already short of manpower and should not rely on people like this.

Coincidentally, as soon as Lu Zhanyuan and He Yuanjun approached the city wall, several Mongolians of the first-class realm targeted them.

It can't be said that they are targeting them. As long as you jump onto the city wall, they will kill anyone they see, as long as you are an enemy.

Lu Zhanyuan was full of passion and felt that this was an opportunity. As long as he showed his strength, he would be valued. There was no reason why Guo Jing and Huang Rong would leave such a capable person like him unused.

He couldn't participate in the battlefields of the innate and acquired realms, but Lu Zhanyuan was confident that he was invincible in the first-rate realm, not to mention that he had a helper.

Unfortunately, this time he encountered not one or two, but three or four.

What's more, Lu Zhanyuan is not as powerful as he imagined.

Over the years, he turned his grief and anger into strength. It seemed that he had made great progress through hard work and practice, but in fact, it was just that. He might be more powerful among people of the same realm, but he was definitely not the best.

It was just that He Yuanjun and Lu Liding's comfort and praise gave him the illusion that he was really great.

In less than a cup of tea, the long sword in Lu Zhanyuan's hand was knocked away. In order to protect Lu Zhanyuan, He Yuanjun flew to save him regardless of the opponent in front of him. As a result, his back was exposed to the enemy and he was cut on the back. Then he flew over and pushed Lu Zhanyuan away, and his front was cut again.

Two stab wounds severely injured him, leaving him barely breathing.

"Yuanjun! Yuanjun!"

Lu Zhanyuan was stunned. He felt the joy of escaping death and the sadness of his wife being seriously injured and dying, but he did not feel any regret for acting on his own.

Lu Zhanyuan knelt on the ground holding He Yuanjun. He Yuanjun was pale and had been seriously injured and unconscious. Lu Zhanyuan wanted to take his wife back to heal her wounds, but how could the Mongols let you leave safely?

Four people, four swords, chopped down together.

Fortunately, he had teammates around him. Even if Huang Rong did not send anyone to rescue him, his comrades around him would not stand by and watch him die. As long as they were able, they would help, no matter who they were.

Those who could stand on the front line of the city wall were all strong. They fought with the four men and protected Lu Zhanyuan as he carried He Yuanjun back to the rear.

"Help, help, is there anyone, please save her."

Lu Zhanyuan screamed like crazy, and doctors came immediately to provide simple treatment, including stopping the bleeding, applying medicine, and bandaging.

This is all we can do. He Yuanjun is not the only injured person now. It is impossible for a doctor to spend all his energy just for her. As long as he is still here, he can save more people.

Even simple treatment can greatly increase the probability of survival.

Lu Zhanyuan knew this truth, but knowing it was one thing. He didn't think it was a big deal until he encountered it. Instead, he felt that this was the most correct approach.

But when he really encountered it, Lu Zhanyuan couldn't accept it.

Lu Zhanyuan now only knows one thing, that is, He Yuanjun is the only one left, and he cannot leave He Yuanjun.

"No, you can't leave. Save her. She can't die. Yuanjun can't die."

Lu Zhanyuan held the doctor's hand tightly, not letting him leave to treat other people.

"Do you know what you're saying? I can't waste my time on her alone. I've done everything I can, and I'll just leave the rest to fate."

The doctor didn't expect to encounter such a thing at this time and place.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong had issued the death order long ago, and this approach was agreed upon by everyone. So far, no one has been persistent.

Everyone who could come to Xiangyang City knew that once the war started, life and death would be in their hands, and they had already prepared themselves mentally. However, this was the first time that Lu Zhanyuan had experienced this.

Lu Zhanyuan's affairs also attracted everyone's attention, and many people pointed fingers at him.

Some people knew Lu Zhanyuan, some didn’t, and those who didn’t know him also learned his identity from people who knew him.

In short, Lu Zhanyuan's reputation became even worse and would soon spread.

The guards around had also come over to understand the situation. After knowing the situation, they didn't say any nonsense and took action directly. They forcibly released Lu Zhanyuan's hands from holding the doctor, memorized his identity and appearance, and prepared to deal with it later.

Lu Zhanyuan was not convinced and wanted to resist with force. The Quanzhen disciples in charge of guarding him did not say much. Lu Zhanyuan's behavior was already a violation of military orders, and no one could say anything even if he was executed on the spot.

It was just because he thought his beloved was seriously injured and it was excusable in the desperate situation, so he just knocked him unconscious and tied him up, waiting for later disposal.

Huang Rong saw He Yuanjun being injured and Lu Zhanyuan being rescued.

There are many Quanzhen disciples around her, all of whom were left for her by Li Zhichang. They are all at the first-class level, and there are three at the acquired level, who are fellow disciples of Li Zhichang.

It can be said that all Quanzhen disciples were entrusted with important tasks.

It’s not that there is no chance to save him, it’s just that I don’t want to save him.

Huang Rong even thought of using Lu Zhanyuan as an example to scare the others, to let the people below know that if you violate military orders, you are lucky not to die, but you will not be able to escape the accountability afterwards.

It's a good idea for Lu Zhanyuan to be the chicken. He has some background and can better show Huang Rong's determination.

This matter must be done. Not to mention Wu San Tong, even Yi Deng can't do it.

If things really get out of hand, don't blame him for closing the door and releasing Yin Zhiping.

In troubled times, severe punishments should be used. Is there anyone more deterrent than Yin Zhiping?

Chapter 208 The battle is over

Yin Zhiping saw all of Lu Zhanyuan's outrageous actions, and had only one evaluation of him in his mind: idiot!

What did you think he was going to do?

The result is a death?

In the end, he didn't give it away, but instead ended up hurting his wife.

Yin Zhiping looked down on Lu Zhanyuan, but he admired He Yuanjun's loyalty and willingness to sacrifice her life for love. It was a pity that she met the wrong person and ended up hurting herself.

Huang Rong felt a little sorry when she saw Lu Zhanyuan being rescued. She didn't know if Lu Zhanyuan was still causing trouble after he returned.

But there is no need to worry, because there are Quanzhen disciples guarding the place, and Lu Zhanyuan does not have the strength to cause trouble.

The Quanzhen disciples would definitely not give Lu Zhanyuan any face, and they were already considered upright by not doing anything behind his back.

The fighting continued throughout the rest of the night.

Day and night lasted for too long, so that except for those in the innate realm, everyone else was exhausted, but they had to grit their teeth and persevere.

Even Yang Guo felt physically tired.

Ma Guangzuo suffered new injuries after being stabbed in the shoulder by Yang Guo's sword and fell off the city wall. He was rescued by the Mongolian soldiers below.

If Ma Guangzuo had not relied on his intuition to turn his body before he lost his will, it is likely that he would have been pierced in the heart instead of the shoulder.

Yang Guo showed no mercy.

Xiaoxiangzi and Yin Kexi were not having a good time either. They were being taken care of by Yang Guo. They couldn't leave, and they couldn't defeat him.

If there hadn't been strong people of the same level around them who had joined in resisting Yang Guo, they would have died long ago.

Even so, both of them were seriously injured.

No one knew where Xiaoxiangzi's mourning stick had been thrown, and Yin Kexi's whip had broken into pieces and was obviously unusable.

The two men's clothes were disheveled and their hair was disheveled, they didn't look like masters at all.

The two of them envied Nemoxing who was recuperating in the camp. It would have been better if he had been seriously injured before so that he wouldn't have to suffer this torture and there was a great possibility that he would lose his life.

It has to be said that they were afraid of Yang Guo.

This kid is really determined to take his own life.

The key point is that Yang Guo's Wanjian Guizong is becoming more and more mature, and his strength is getting stronger with each fight. Xiaoxiangzi and Yin Kexi are terrified when watching.

The amount of sword energy that can be condensed has also increased from seven at the beginning to twelve now.

This progress is indeed significant.

What they saw was that five powerful masters of the post-natal realm had been pierced through the chest by Yang Guo's sword energy and died on the spot.

Yang Guo also saw his own progress. In a word, he was physically tired but mentally excited.

Yang Guo's progress can be said to have stimulated the spirit of the Xiangyang defenders, especially when Yang Guo fought alone against several powerful people of the same level. His strength and demeanor made him look like the second Yin Zhiping rising up.

Having teammates like this really makes people feel at ease.

Zhen Zhibing spent an entire night and defeated three opponents.

Slightly inferior to Yang Guo, but that's when Yang Guo's opponent is slightly stronger.

Zhen Zhibing did not feel ashamed or anything. If Yang Guo did not have some skills, he would not have been accepted as a disciple by his senior brother.

On the contrary, I feel that this is the strength that the descendant of the Sword Immortal should have.

The two's strong strength and brilliant record also attracted the attention of the Mongolian side. A steady stream of masters flocked to them, and they even ignored Huang Rong and turned their target into Yang Guo and Zhen Zhibing.

Huang Rong knew that this was the order from their commander-in-chief.

Alibuga also realized that as long as Yang Guo and Zhen Zhibing were there, Huang Rong would be safe.

Then cut off the claws first, and then go straight to the dragon.

Moreover, there is still a lot of time, and their preparations this time are very sufficient. Whether it is sufficient food or a full 200,000-strong army, Alibugha does not think that Xiangyang can be defended for a long time.

The two sides have a tacit understanding. Except for the Xiantian realm, Yang Guo, and Zhen Zhibing, those in the Acquired realm and below will be rotated according to their strength and number.

This approach has the advantage over the Mongols, as they have more people. Even if Yang Guo, Zhen Zhibing, Qiu Chuji, Liu Chuxuan and others have suffered more or less casualties, they are still at a disadvantage.

The Xiangyang side also suffered considerable losses.

The battle lasted until dawn, and Alibugha was still attacking after dawn.

Yang Guo could no longer lift his right hand, and could only rely on his left hand and sword energy to fight the enemy.

Zhen Zhibing uses sword and palm alternately, sword in right hand and palm in left hand.

With the recovery effect of the Nine Yang Divine Art, the two of them can be said to be the strongest two people under the innate realm.

Xiaoxiangzi and Yin Kexi used Alibuga's hidden power to cover their escape.

The result was that Yang Guo and Zhen Zhibing lost seven more lives in the post-natal realm.

Of the twenty acquired masters of Alibugha, Yang Guo and Zhen Zhibing alone had already dealt with fifteen of them.

By noon, the Mongol attack finally stopped.

Li Mochou looked the same as when the battle started, without any abnormality. Apart from a slight breathlessness, she still had the strength to fight again.

Three of the four golden wheels of King Jinlun were broken, and his left hand was drooping, as if it had been broken. If it were not for Hadabater, he might have been beaten to death by Li Mochou's two punches.

Guo Jing was breathing heavily, his eyes determined. He didn't know how many people he had killed throughout the night. He only knew that people kept rushing up to him, and then he would slap them away, over and over again.

Li Zhichang seems to be in better condition than Guo Jing, all because of the recovery ability of the Nine Yang Divine Art.

However, Li Zhichang also swung the sword in his hand somewhat mechanically. After practicing sword energy for a whole night, he felt that his cultivation level was rising sharply.

He couldn't wait to ask his senior brother Yin Zhiping whether he was qualified enough to practice Wanjian Guizong now.

If it’s not enough, practice for a few more nights.

Huang Rong specially found someone to protect Qiu Chuji, Liu Chuxuan, Ke Zhen'e and other older people, and then placed them by her side, calling it flexible response, but in fact she just wanted to take care of them a little.

It takes care of their psychology while leaving them speechless.

After all, these three respected elders really inspire respect.

You can't be disrespectful, because behind them are the only three innate realm masters in Xiangyang City.

However, they were also restless around Huang Rong, and would ask Huang Rong for permission to take action whenever something happened.

If Yin Zhiping were to say, people with a lively mind are the capitalists' favorite cattle and horses, and they are completely different from people like Lu Zhanyuan who talk to themselves and act on their own.

Lu Zhanyuan still needs others to rescue him, which is really beyond his ability.

Long before dawn, Yin Zhiping had returned to the sword tomb, and the two little guys were about to wake up.
