Cheers soared into the sky. Hundreds of guardsmen who had retaken the city wall positions waved their weapons to celebrate their victory. Many of them even spit at the bottom of the city wall to express their contempt for the enemy.
Qin Yun slowly lowered the Sun-falling Divine Bow. When the power inspired by his blood was exhausted with the shooting of the Wind-Chasing Arrow, his arms felt as if they were being bitten by countless iron-toothed ants, and his hands were so sore that they could not help but
The ground trembled.
"Brother, are you frustrated by the force of the bow?" Yan Qing walked over and said with a smile: "It's okay. I'll give you a bottle of medicated oil when I get back. I guarantee you'll be able to recover within a day!"
This tough young man was holding a big sword in both hands. His whole body was covered in blood, and his armor was covered in scars. Even his left cheek had a cut from the sword energy. You can imagine what a fierce battle he went through.
"Are you okay?" Qin Yun asked with concern.
"It's okay!" Yan Qing thrust the sword into the ground hard, with a trace of sadness on his face: "I just suffered some skin injuries, but many brothers died in the battle!"
Qin Yun patted his shoulder and wanted to say a few words of comfort but didn't know where to start.
War has always been extremely cruel. In the first siege launched by the Dachu Flying Tiger Legion, although the Lingyang City Guards firmly defended their defense line, they also paid the price of nearly two thousand casualties.
The Yanyun Iron Cavalry led by Yan Qing withstood the attack of the Killing Front Battalion at the critical moment. As a result, 278 people were killed in the battle, more than 400 people were injured, and their strength was reduced by nearly one-fifth.
Of course, the losses of the Chu army as the siege party were undoubtedly much heavier. They left at least six to seven thousand corpses in front of and on the south city wall. Even more were injured and fled. The Chengxia army responsible for the main attack was almost maimed.
, the Jing Ruifeng Battalion suffered nearly half casualties and was absolutely unable to fight again in a short period of time.
A large number of catapults, ballistae and siege engines were also destroyed.
The results achieved by the City Guards should be said to be great, but neither Xu Jingye nor Li Jin and others were very happy because they knew very well that this war had just begun and the main force of the Flying Tigers was not damaged at all. Full text...
There are also a large number of reinforcements arriving in a steady stream.
In comparison, the defenders of Lingyang City were dying one by one, and there would always be times when they could no longer hold on.
"I just hope that His Royal Highness King Lu can send reinforcements as soon as possible..."
Lingyang City Guard Xu Jingye came to the city wall with his entourage to inspect, looking at the dirty blood and corpses that had not been cleaned up on the ground. His mood was very heavy, and a look of worry appeared on his clear and haggard face.
This great scholar at the time had not had a good rest for several days and nights, and was thinking very hard about the defense of Lingyang City. Although the guard army was handed over to Li Jin, all the numerous civil responsibilities in the city fell on him.
on a person.
It is far from enough to rely on only 20,000 guards to defend Lingyang. The fate of the 300,000 people in the city has been closely linked to this fortress in the southern border of the empire. The unity and stability in the rear will undoubtedly greatly affect the war situation in the front.
.
"As long as we hold Lingyang, His Highness will definitely lead the army to ask for help as quickly as possible!" Yan Qing said in a decisive tone: "Please don't worry, sir!"
Xu Jingye looked at Yan Qing and Qin Yun, smiled and said, "I feel relieved that you are here!"
Li Jin also smiled and said: "Since ancient times, heroes have been born in youth. Without the help of these two people this time, the losses of our city guards will definitely be much greater. Now the Flying Tiger Legion will not attack the city again for a while. Why don't you go back first?"
Get some rest!”
Qin Yun and Yan Qing did not refuse. The former had exhausted his energy and needed to recover urgently, while the latter was seriously injured.
The two of them walked down the city wall together and arrived at the temporary camp guardhouse.
The City Guards requisitioned a large house not far from the south city wall as a camp and guardhouse. This is not only the command post of the Guards, but also the residence of experts dispatched by each family. Once the city wall defense line is in danger, support can be provided at any time.
Qin Yun has a suite in the Xingying Guardhouse. Although the conditions are not as good as the Shui family's old house, it is already an excellent treatment under the current circumstances, and he will not be too picky.
After a quick bite to eat, he returned to his room and practiced in a quiet room behind closed doors.
Qin Yun's current practice of Nine Yang Magic is extensive and profound. Even though he has reached the third level of Nine Yang Magic, his progress in practicing from the beginning is still not fast. So far, he has only just touched the second level of mental skills.
However, the power of the first-level mental method has exceeded that of the third level of Xuan Gong. In less than half a stick of incense, his strength recovered to more than 70%, and the damaged muscles and meridians of both arms were quickly repaired by the true energy.
get well.
After completing a week of practice, Qin Yun began to reflect on the gains and losses in today's battle.
It should be said that he performed perfectly in today's battle. He killed and beheaded more than a hundred enemies, including three innate strong men. Especially the last heavy sword warrior was a master among masters, and his level of strength was still far away.
Above Qin Yun.
Qin Yun was able to kill him without paying much price. The most important thing was with the help of the magic weapon of Tianwen Sword. It can be said that without this weapon containing terrifying power, he would have never been able to kill it.
opponent.
Thinking back to the thrilling battle just now, Qin Yun still had lingering fears. If his opponent had blocked his move to monopolize the mountain and turned around to counterattack, he might really be in a rage on the spot.
The reason why he won such a thrilling chance was that he was not strong enough. Even if he had a magic weapon, he could only borrow it temporarily and could not fully master it. Otherwise, he would not have to be afraid no matter how much stronger the opponent was.
Qin Yun also felt a headache for Tianwen Sword.
To put it bluntly, the long sword given to him by Mu Fei was a first-rate magic weapon and matched his attributes. However, the sword spirit in the sword body was too unruly and could only be subdued by relying on Haoran's righteousness.
However, this kind of subjugation is not stable and reliable. If there is a setback at a critical moment, it will definitely give the enemy an opportunity.
Therefore, Qin Yun would not use the Tianwen Sword unless it was absolutely necessary.
At present, the Chu army is approaching the city, and it is unknown how many masters will appear in the future. He really needs the power of Tianwen Shenjian to protect Ling Yang and eliminate powerful enemies.
Thinking of this, Qin Yun's expression became extremely determined, and his dark eyes revealed a captivating light.
He took out a sandalwood box from the universe space.
Inside this sandalwood box is the Kirin paperweight that Xu Jingye gave to Qin Yun. It is a family heirloom that Xu Jingye gave to Qin Yun for his selfless support.
Qin Yun originally planned to find an opportunity to secretly return it to Xu Jingye in the future, but now he has a different idea.
This unicorn jade has been passed down in the Xu family for hundreds of years and has been owned by successive family heads. It is said to contain the qi refining experience of generations of great scholars in the Xu family, but the secret was lost to Xu Jingye's generation.
According to Xu Jingye, if Qin Yun could find out the secret, it would be of great benefit to Qin Yun in practicing the Haoran Righteousness Art. It was precisely because of this that he reluctantly gave up his love to prevent the treasure from getting dusty.
Haoran Zhengqi Jue is the supreme and authentic method for ancient qi refiners. It can be divided into condensing qi, refining seeds, transforming, forging souls, cultivating souls, gathering gods, swallowing the sun, pouring the sky, nine levels of nature, and the skills are exquisite and mysterious.
The mystery is unfathomable.
Qin Yun is currently still at the entry level of Qi Condensation and Seed Refining in the cultivation of Haoran's Righteous Qi Art. Although he has condensed Haoran's True Seed in the Qi Sea Dantian, there is still a long way to go before he can transform into a soul and forge his soul.
So he wanted to try if he could use Qilin Jade to cultivate Haoran's righteousness to a new level, thereby greatly improving his ability to control the Tianwen Divine Sword.
However, because he did not know the secret method, Qin Yun could only try to follow the method of extracting the spiritual power of the spiritual jade, holding the unicorn jade and injecting a trace of innate true energy into it to see if he could touch the secret inside.
However, after this trace of true energy was injected, it was like a mud cow entering the sea. The unicorn jade did not react at all, which made Qin Yun, who was ready to withstand the impact of the strange force, feel like he was punched into the air.
Is it because he doesn't have enough strength? Qin Yun tried to strengthen his true energy and activate 30% of his true energy.
This time, Qilin Jade finally reacted. As soon as Qin Yun's true energy entered the jade, it was as if he had hit an extremely solid iron wall head-on. He bounced back and was unable to move forward at all.
The stronger the true energy he inputs, the stronger the rebound force will be, but what rebounds is Qin Yun's own power.
Qin Yun, who did not believe in evil, activated his true energy to 90%, but the Kirin Jade was still as stable as a rock. It was like a fortress that would never fall, stubbornly resisting Qin Yun's attacks, making his repeated attempts in vain.
However, it was through repeated trials that Qin Yun discovered that Kirin Jade contained an extremely powerful force. This force was as majestic and masculine as the peak of a mountain, extremely stable and difficult to invade by external forces.
After repeated attempts, Qin Yun reluctantly gave up the method of injecting innate true energy. If the Qilin Jade had not just rebounded his power instead of counterattacking, it would have really made him suffer.
Of course, this does not mean that Qin Yun has given up completely. He thought for a while, held the Qilin Jade in his hands, sat down cross-legged and moved Qi, trying to inject the awe-inspiring Qi into the jade.
The situation this time was indeed different. The aura of Haoran and the power of Yuzhong produced a subtle reaction, like a drop of water falling into a lake causing slight ripples.
There is a door!
Qin Yun did not hesitate to intensify the infusion of Haoran's power, turning the drizzle into a downpour, causing waves on the originally calm lake!
The power in the Qilin Jade fluctuated violently, and a force surged out and merged with Haoran's Qi. Qin Yun immediately took it back into the Qi Sea Dantian.
Haoran's true seed absorbed this power and became more powerful with the movement of his mind.
Qin Yun clearly felt that the Haoran Zhengqi Jue, which he had practiced for a long time but had not made any progress, was showing signs of change.
This is undoubtedly an excellent phenomenon. As Xu Jingye said, Qilin Jade is indeed of great help in cultivating Haoran's righteousness!
