Under the city, Shi Le and Long Chen fought with bare hands.
Long Chen used the Yin Wind Palm, and a cold wind blew around his body. His ten fingers turned into sharp claws and clawed at Shi Le's vitals.
There was a domineering aura around Shi Le, as if he was possessed by a lion, and a vibrating sound came from his throat.
Long Chen's claws clawed at Shi Le's throat, and Shi Le raised his elbow to distance himself, and at the same time made a dull sound. The sound sounded like a big cat's purr, but very loud.
As a dull sound came out, Shi Le's fist seemed to vibrate, knocking Long Chen's sharp claws away.
When they were fighting weapons just now, Long Chen felt that every time Shi Le's halberd fell, there was a shock force.
Now when fighting with fists and feet, the feeling of vibration is more obvious.
Long Chen used his backhand to grab Shi Le's heart, which was blocked by a protective mirror. Shi Le didn't care and punched Long Chen's head.
There was a crashing sound, and Long Chen left four scratches on the breast mirror. When Shi Le's fist came towards him, Long Chen sidestepped and dodged, but the fist missed. Long Chen raised his foot and kicked Shi Le's lower abdomen. Shi Le refused to retreat but advanced instead.
His lower abdomen bumped against Long Chen's feet.
Roar!
Shi Le roared angrily, his lower abdomen bulged and vibrated, and Long Chen was blown away.
Seeing that Shi Le had the upper hand, Shi Jingxiang laughed and said: "Father, kill him, kill him quickly!"
Wu Jian, Zhang Qian and the others ignored Shi Jingxiang and watched nervously the fighting below the city.
Long Chen was shaken away, and he somewhat understood the special features of the Mad Lion Art.
"Long Chengen, I have already told you that the empress did not truly teach you the secret technique!"
After playing for a few rounds, Shi Le discovered that Long Chen was not as powerful as he thought.
Of course, it may also be that my cultivation has improved during these times.
In short, Shi Le felt that Long Chen was nothing more than that.
Long Chen sneered: "Really!"
Long Chen suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Shi Le. Shi Le punched Long Chen in front of him.
Long Chen turned his palm into a fist and punched Shi Le as well.
Shi Le tried his best to fight Long Chen with a solid punch.
Seeing Long Chen arriving in front of him, his figure suddenly flashed, and several afterimages appeared around him, all of which rushed towards Shi Le.
Shi Le was shocked. This was the secret technique of Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix, which could create multiple shadows.
Seeing several Long Chen appear at the same time, Shi Le took a step back, opened his big mouth and let out a roar.
"Roar..."
A sandstorm suddenly rose in front of Shi Le. The soldiers on the city wall were shocked by the sound. Some soldiers had their eardrums pierced and their noses bleeding.
Wu Jian and Zhang Qian were relatively good at cultivation, but they just felt uncomfortable all over. Bai Tingting and Wu Xiangyun felt like they were holding a breath in their chests, and they couldn't breathe properly.
When Shi Jingxiang saw Shi Le using the Lion's Roar Technique, his eyes widened in excitement, wanting to see what the miserable look would be like for Long Chen who was attacked head-on at close range.
boom!
The dust from the sandstorm hadn't dissipated yet, Shi Le's body slid back a few meters, and Long Chen landed firmly on the ground.
The afterimage disappeared, but Long Chen was not injured.
"It turns out that Buddhist tremolo is based on your lion's roar technique."
Long Chen chuckled.
Shi Le spread his legs and stood firmly on the ground, with a look of surprise and reluctance in his eyes.
He used a unique move, but he couldn't stop Long Chen.
"Long Chengen, let the second girl go, Zhenguo Temple will keep it for you!"
Shi Le relented, knowing that there was nothing he could do to Long Chen.
Long Chen sneered and said: "Zhenguo Temple is already in my hands, do I want you to give it to me?"
Shi Le looked at Long Chen, then raised his head and glanced at Shi Jingxiang, then slowly walked to the euphorbia, bent down and picked up the euphorbia, and Shi Le walked back slowly.
Long Chen watched Shi Le leave, picked up the spear, and jumped back to the city wall.
Shi Jingxiang watched Shi Le leave and shouted desperately: "Father, father..."
Ye Chang sneered: "Stop shouting, your father can't save you!"
Shi Le silently walked back to the army. Lu Qichang brought a horse over. Shi Le threw the halberd to the guard, got on his horse, and walked westward with a solemn expression.
Lu Qichang looked back at Shi Jingxiang, who was crying for help, and followed Shi Le back with his cavalry.
The cavalry gradually moved away. Shi Jingxiang cried so hard that tears and snot stuck to her face, and her body trembled slightly with sobs.
"Give up, Shi Le is gone."
Wu Jian sneered.
Thinking of the tragic situation in Bailang Mountain, Wu Jian really wanted to chop Shi Jingxiang alive.
"Sir, how should I deal with it?"
Ye Chang asked Shi Jingxiang.
Long Chen glanced at Shi Jingxiang, who was crying until he was shaking, and said coldly: "Lock him up and keep it for me."
He Juntao came over and said, "I'll do it."
Ye Chang knew that He Juntao had a way of torturing people, so he gave Shi Jingxiang to He Juntao.
Long Chen returned to the room on the top of the mountain. Zhang Qian followed him into the room and closed the door behind his back.
"Husband, are you okay?"
Zhang Qian untied Long Chen's armor, and Long Chen coughed and spit out bloody phlegm.
Others couldn't tell, but Zhang Qian knew that Long Chen was injured.
Long Chen smiled and said: "The secret technique left by the Martial Saint is really powerful. You can't accept the attack head-on."
Long Chen deliberately took a move head-on just now, wanting to test the power of Xixia's secret technique.
Zhang Qian said: "Shi Jingxiang said that the secret method of Xixia is called the Mad Lion Technique."
Long Chen coughed twice more and spit out all the bloody phlegm.
"It turns out that the Buddhist tremolo of Zhaoti Temple comes from the Xixia secret method Mad Lion Technique, which is a bit interesting."
Zhang Qian asked worriedly: "Husband, would you like to take some medicine?"
Long Chen shook his head and said: "No, I can recover with just a little practice. If I dare to take his attack head-on, I will be sure to withstand it."
"Shi Le is not much better, so he took the initiative to give in."
Long Chen received Shi Le's move from the front, and Shi Le was also hit by Long Chen from the front.
"Shi Le came out today, why didn't your husband take the opportunity to attack?"
Zhang Qian felt it was a pity that today Shi Le took the initiative to lead his troops in pursuit, but Long Chen didn't take the opportunity to kill for a while.
Long Chen shook his head and said: "Shi Le led the troops to save people, but they are holding back hatred in their hearts. The so-called sad soldiers will win, so it is not a good thing for us to rush into battle."
Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" said: There is no greater disaster than underestimating the enemy. Underestimating the enemy will cost us our treasures. Therefore, if we add more troops to resist, the one who mourns will win.
When Shi Jingxiang was captured, the Xixia soldiers were filled with grief and anger, and would fight to the death. The Long family army responded hastily, and it was unfavorable to send troops at this time, so Long Chen did not send troops.
Of course, if Shi Le wanted to use cavalry to attack the city, Long Chen would be willing to kill tens of thousands of him.
But Shi Le finally regained his senses and chose to retreat.
"I'm looking for a pill."
Zhang Qian took out a bottle from the cabinet and poured out a healing elixir.
"Husband, take the medicine."
Long Chen smiled and opened his mouth: "Feed me."
Zhang Qian scolded in a sweet voice: "When did it happen? You're still coquettish!"
Holding the pill, Zhang Qian put it into Long Chen's mouth, but Long Chen tilted his head to avoid it and said, "That's not how you feed it."
Zhang Qian put the elixir into her mouth, and then put it into Long Chen's mouth.
"Well, this elixir tastes great."
Long Chen smiled and hugged Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian advised: "Don't make trouble if you are injured. Once the injury is healed, you can do whatever you want."
Long Chen asked with a smile: "Has the silk I asked for arrived?"
Zhang Qian said shyly: "We're here. Once my husband is healed, you can tie me up however you want."
Long Chen let go of Zhang Qian and practiced cross-legged practice in the room to heal his injuries.
Shi Le slowly returned to Yangcheng with his army. He said nothing on the way and his expression turned extremely ugly.
When the army returned to Yangcheng, the troops outside the city were asking if the princess had been rescued.
When it was learned that Shi Jingxiang had not been rescued, the morale of the army was deeply affected.
Shi Le's favorite princess was kidnapped just after arriving in Yangcheng. Shi Le brought an army of 200,000 people, but he failed to bring her back.
"The second princess is the king's favorite princess, and she's gone like this."
"Long Chengen, if it falls into Long Chengen's hands, the princess is finished."
"It's okay to be dead, but alive...well, I'm afraid..."
All the Xixia soldiers thought that Shi Jingxiang would be miserable if he died.
Shi Le walked heavily back to the back office of the Prefect's Mansion. Ma Fang stood beside him and did not dare to speak.
puff...
Suddenly, Shi Le spat out a mouthful of blood, and then vomited several mouthfuls of black blood.
Ma Fang was so frightened that she hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Xue, Dr. Xue!"
The palace maids next to him were also frightened. They all stood there shivering and did not dare to move.
Shi Le held onto the stone table with one hand and covered his chest with the other, feeling out of breath.
The lion's roar skill hit Long Chen, and Long Chen's fist also hit Shi Le.
In the fight just now, the Mad Lion Technique was indeed powerful and suppressed Long Chen, but Long Chen's cultivation was higher than Shi Le's, and Shi Le did not take advantage.
After enduring it for so long, Shi Le finally vomited blood.
Doctor Xue came in quickly, looked at the black blood on the ground, and hurriedly checked Shi Le's pulse.
"Mr. Xue?"
Ma Fang was so anxious that her whole body trembled.
After feeling the pulse, Imperial Physician Xue said: "The Qi meridians in Your Majesty's body have been severely damaged and need to be nursed back to health."
Shi Le himself had already predicted that he would be hit when performing the Lion's Roar Technique, and his Qi veins would definitely be damaged.
"Wei Chen will prepare some medicine for the king to improve his qi."
Doctor Xue immediately went back to boil the medicine. Ma Fang helped Shi Le up and slowly walked into the room.
Ma Fang wanted to help Shi Le lie down and rest, but Shi Le said: "Bring me a pen and ink..."
Ma Fang immediately brought pen and ink, and Shi Le lay on the table, wrote a secret letter, and said, "Seal it and send it to Zhaoti Temple immediately."
Ma Fang helped Shi Le lie down on the bed and asked the palace maid to watch. He immediately sealed the envelope and sent a special envoy back to Zhaoti Temple.
Soon, Doctor Xue's medicine was ready, and Ma Fang served Shi Le to take it.
...
Zhenguo Temple.
Bai Tingting sat in the room, took out her ears, and said, "Shi Le's voice was so loud that it almost pierced my eardrums."
Wu Xiangyun said: "Some soldiers have already perforated their eardrums. Shi Le's Mad Lion Technique is so powerful? Is your husband okay?"
