"The front is Yunshang Palace, everyone go in quickly!"
A crowd of Jianghu people scrambled to enter the main hall of Hengshan. The heart-wrenching voice behind them was like a reminder, pressing down on everyone's heads.
Zeng Hong did not show up, he was only providing overall command from the rear. He was different from Lu Hanjiang. He had been on the frontline for decades, knew many people, killed many people, and many people remembered his face.
In order to minimize the damage, Zeng Hong formulated an extremely conservative battle plan. The trap monsters were in the front, the bows were in the back, and the Jin Yiwei who were armed with swords and became Huashan disciples were all atmosphere groups.
The specific combat method is to wash the ground with a wave of arrows, and then Lu Renjia No. 2 is at the front and kills all directions, while the other personnel stay behind and are responsible for picking up missed hits.
Zeng Hong did not choose to use the more powerful crossbow arrows, but used the bows and arrows he had prepared earlier. The reason was that the crossbow arrows were too special, and a large number of them could easily reveal the truth at once.
This was used in an assassination attempt in Zhulin. Lu Hanjiang followed the clues and found out most of the forces related to the former prince. This thing is really not safe.
In contrast, bows and arrows are much more common. Although they are slightly inferior in power and accuracy, they guarantee safety and privacy. And probably because they are busy escaping, the opponent does not have time to wonder why the two sword-wielding sects
Will use weapons such as bows and arrows to attack.
Talking about the battle situation, the combat power of Lu Renjia No. 2 was really extraordinary. Even Zeng Hong did not expect that Lu Hanjiang actually held such a powerful weapon in his hands.
At least as far as he is concerned, it is impossible to deal with it. Without knowing its weaknesses, if he wants to rely on violent means to destroy this mechanical monster, I am afraid that only a few top people in the world can do it.
Seeing a group of Jianghu people in front of him fleeing into Yunshang Palace, Zeng Hong sneered and gave a signal to the operator in the mechanism monster, who immediately aimed the siege crossbow at the palace gate.
Yes, the biggest weakness of the machine monster after Lu Hanjiang's transformation is that it requires human control to move.
At first, Yanshi used the mechanism to rely on the formation to exist, so there was no need for an operator. However, Lu Hanjiang used the mechanism for external battlefields, so the operator was indispensable.
There was only a terrifying tremor, and a huge four-edged crossbow shot out, destroying most of the main entrance of Yunshang Palace in one blow. The frightened and panicked Jianghu guests saw that it was not good, and they moved higher again.
Retreat.
Zeng Hong sneered and waved his hand, and an overwhelming barrage of arrows flew into the hall. The Jianghu guests showed their talents and took out their weapons to resist and retreat back.
The two huge red eyes on the iron-skinned head of Lu Renjia No. 2 flashed violently for a few times, and steam spurted out from multiple pipes all over the body. The smoke-filled monster became even more terrifying. The eight spider legs under its feet suddenly flashed.
Dongdi accelerated his speed, carrying the upper half of his body like a wild bull, and crashed directly into Yunshang Palace.
Hengshan faction Pei Xia held the unconscious Shi Suxue with one hand and wielded a long sword with the other hand to cut off the flying arrows. After finally taking a breath, he was about to continue to retreat when he was suddenly startled by this earth-shattering tremor.
shocked.
The majestic hall collapsed suddenly, and the flying stones brought unexpected screams. The white floor tiles were stained with the smell of blood, and another terrifying hell fell on everyone's heads.
Just when the flying stones fell in front of her, Shi Jiuning, the leader of Hengshan Sect, struck out with his sword and saved her.
"Uncle Master!" Pei Xia looked at Shi Jiuning in surprise.
"Xia'er, take Xue'er away quickly!" Shi Jiuning held the sword to protect the two of them behind him.
As she spoke, her eyes widened as she saw the machine monster making new moves. She saw it inserting two red-hot iron pillars into the ground, and swept forward violently. Countless flying rocks of different sizes flew towards them.
.
Shi Jiuning held the sword in one hand, and with the other hand, he subconsciously turned around and grabbed one of the two people. While using his sword to chop down small flying rocks, he stepped back using Qinggong.
After the storm, Shi Jiuning hugged Shi Suxue tightly in her arms. Just as she was taking a breath, a rapid scream suddenly grabbed her legs and feet.
"Master, master master, save me!"
Shi Jiuning's steps suddenly froze. She turned around and saw that the person asking for help was Pei Xia, whom she had failed to save just now.
At this moment, Pei Xia was hit in one leg by a flying stone, and was hit by an arrow in her left shoulder. She fell miserably to the ground, holding the long sword in her right hand, struggling to support herself.
Shi Jiuning immediately wanted to go back to rescue people, but at this moment, the people from Jinyiwei pressed up, and another wave of arrows flew in. The machine monster at the front was wheezing and spitting out white smoke.
The oppressive feeling of despair enveloped everyone's hearts.
Shi Jiuning was still holding on to the unconscious Shi Suxue with one hand, and was dealing with the rain of arrows with the other. Even if they wanted to ask for help from the people around them, everyone was busy trying to ensure their own survival first, leaving no room to save others.
Suddenly, an arrow flew towards him. Shi Jiuning hurriedly dodged, and his left shoulder was accidentally cut open. Several more arrows flew towards him one after another, but fortunately, a sword energy flew behind him and swept across them, cutting them all off.
, and at the same time came the urgent call from Taishan leader Hao Bansheng——
"Junior sister, what are you still doing? Let's go!"
The arrows were falling more and more densely, and with an oil bottle in hand, Shi Jiuning couldn't use it at all.
She closed her eyes in pain, touched her tightly closed lips up and down, said something silently, and then immediately retreated without stopping, leaving Pei Xia blankly in place until another stream of blood flew over.
, stabbed into her right shoulder, and she fell to the ground with a cry of pain.
The back door exit of Yunshang Palace is a sloping path. The entrance here is narrow, and at most a few people can pass through at a time. Tianfeng, the leader of Hengshan, jumped out first. He glanced back and slowly approached the Jin Yiwei, as well as the terrifying machine monsters.
He glanced at the long queue behind him again, his eyes flickering.
"Qianzhong!" Tianfeng shouted towards the disciples in the crowd.
Hu Qianzhong looked immediately after hearing the sound. After the master and apprentice exchanged a look, he immediately understood what his master meant. He nodded slightly towards Tianfeng and deliberately slowed down.
Hu Qianzhong, who was hanging at the end of the team, looked at the dozen or so people who were at the end. His eyes narrowed, and suddenly he stepped forward and passed over them like a ghost. Then he drew out his sword and slashed at the beam above his head.
Thirteen swords.
Boom - The already shaky dome suddenly collapsed, and rocks and wooden blocks fell down, blocking all the way forward and trapping more than ten people who had no time to escape in the hall.
Seeing the way out right in front of them, life was cut off in an instant, and the dozen or so people suddenly suffered cardiopulmonary arrest.
"Hu Qianzhong! You must die a happy death!"
"Bastard, bastard! We are going to use our lives to buy them time to escape!"
"No, I don't want to die!"
There were more than ten people with different identities, guests from all over the world, and even Hengshan Sect's own elders. They had different expressions, some were scolding and some were wailing. Hu Qianzhong didn't even look at it, and immediately left, half-heartedly.
Not a moment's hesitation.
Seeing this scene, Zeng Hong squinted his eyes indifferently, and immediately asked his men to shoot another wave of arrows. The dozen or so people were blocked on the dead road, unable to escape, and fell half down in an instant like wheat.
Then Zeng Hong signaled his men to rush forward and kill them all with a flurry of swords.
Among this group of people, the Hengshan elder who was left behind was none other than Jin Buhuan. He dragged his body hit by several arrows and struggled to support himself in the siege of a group of Jinyi guards. Everyone else around him fell down one by one when he saw them.
After falling down, his knees finally weakened and he shouted loudly——
"Above Heaven"
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Sir, I am Mr. Lu's friend! I am Mr. Lu's friend! Spare me—"
Before he finished speaking, a ghost knife the size of a millstone flew straight towards him, directly burying half of his body in the gravel. Jin Buhuan's two upright legs twitched a few times, his body went limp, and there was no more movement.
Zeng Hong stepped forward and pulled out the Ghost Sword and put it on his back again. He glanced at the Jin Yiwei who were hesitating to make a move and asked indifferently: "What did he just say?"
One of them hesitated and said: "This man said he belongs to Mr. Lu..."
"Sir!" At this time, another of his colleagues immediately interrupted him and said respectfully: "We didn't hear anything."
The man from before also came to his senses, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and whispered: "That's right, we didn't hear anything."
Zeng Hong glanced at the two of them and said softly: "The thieves are just talking nonsense to save their lives. With Mr. Lu's status, how can he have anything to do with these Jianghu people."
"My lord, that's right!" The two nodded repeatedly, while the others held their breath and pretended not to hear.
At this time, another hundred households came forward to report: "Sir, the road ahead is blocked. It will take some time to get across."
"There's no rush, it doesn't hurt to give them more time to escape."
Zeng Hong clapped his hands, diverted everyone's attention, and said calmly: "Okay, let's rest for a while, reload the siege crossbows, and bring in a few more people to clear the road."
"yes."
After the imperial guards responded, they began to act individually. When one of the commander-in-chiefs was recovering a lost arrow, something suddenly caught his feet. He was startled and wanted to pull out his weapon. When he turned around, he saw a pair of weapons filled with arrows.
