6kv Chapter 25 Battle
Chapter 25 Battle
The two strongest guards chose to gamble on wealth and fortune, and the remaining three guards' eyes also flickered. They were certainly not cowards to choose to join this dangerous herb-gathering caravan.
As a martial artist, if you don't take wealth from your own hands, then where do you take it from?
"I'm also willing to take a gamble."
One of the guards took a deep breath: "The opportunity was right in front of me, and to watch it slip away like water flowing eastward would probably make me regret it so much that I'd slap my thigh every time I think about it."
"Me too."
"Let's do it!"
"So, the final result is five to zero. Both sides chose to win. Now, let's pack our bags and follow you."
Having confirmed that his men were all willing to take the risk with him, Qin Lie took the lead without hesitation.
The four people behind Fu Que exchanged glances. Instead of following Qin Lie, they split up in a fan shape and silently moved towards the battleground.
If the number of players is roughly the same, then you can't just rush in one wave; you have to be more strategic and aim to win the game with zero casualties.
When Fu Que and his companions stealthily arrived at the battleground again, the fierce battle had already reached its latter half.
Although the gray-haired giant ape was extremely fierce, it was eventually exhausted under the combined attack of its companions and the five warriors working in unison.
Its powerful regenerative abilities as a demon beast were suppressed by something unknown, causing the wound to bleed profusely and draining most of its strength and energy.
Finally, when a warrior wielding a large spear used an extremely powerful move, Azure Dragon Emerging from the Sea, to attract most of the gray-haired giant ape's attention...
Another warrior wielding two Sun and Moon Maces silently descended from mid-air, the twin blades slicing into the large tendons of the gray-haired giant ape's arms without a trace of smoke or fire.
The thick fur had already been cut open during the previous struggle, so when the Sun and Moon Mace blade probed in again, there was almost no obstruction.
"roar!"
Spurting hot blood sprayed all over the face of the warrior who was perched on the shoulder of the gray-haired giant ape.
He didn't care at all, using his legs to push off the giant ape's back muscles, and with a graceful backflip, he dodged the ape's arm that came crashing down like an iron rod.
In a leap, he clung to a tree about four or five meters up, and in a perverse manner, stuck out his tongue, rolled it around the blood on his face, and swallowed it.
"It's done."
When the gray-haired giant ape, in pain, instinctively attacked the warrior who ambushed it, its fate was already sealed.
Although it managed to catch the spear charging from the front, it could no longer dodge the two warriors stepping in from the side, their gleaming goose-feather blades flashing coldly.
The blade flashed, and blood splattered.
The gray-haired giant ape let out a furious roar, its massive body staggering backward, most of its neck slashed open by a blade coated with a toxin that disrupted blood clotting.
It had no chance of survival. Its eyes, a mixture of savagery and resentment, quickly dimmed, and its body crashed to the ground, scattering countless withered branches and leaves.
"It's done."
The gray-haired giant ape lay down as if it had overturned a mountain of gold and a jade pillar.
The five martial artists instantly broke into triumphant smiles. Although they were exhausted and each of them had sustained minor injuries, they had at least managed to kill the beast.
Even at this point, they remained cautious and did not approach the gray-haired giant ape's corpse immediately.
After all, the stats of monsters are generally abnormal. If someone were to trick them, one of them might end up traveling with the giant ape before they could react.
"Brother, a baby born from a monkey-like monster and a few jars of monkey wine should be enough to get that old geezer in Yunyan County to drop our arrest warrant, right?"
The warrior wielding the Sun and Moon Mace jumped down from the tree, wiped the still-warm blood from his face, and asked the warrior holding the spear.
"Pretty much. Damn it, I've had the worst luck ever. I risked my life to finally kill a valuable monster, and before I could even enjoy it, it's all going to be offered to the county magistrate."
The spear-wielding warrior replied, cursing and swearing.
Even so, a smile appeared on his face.
"There's no other way. With our limited strength, we're not welcome to join the righteous people of the previous dynasty, but if we join the demonic sect, we'll definitely be offered five seats for alchemy furnace materials."
A warrior wielding a wild goose feather saber joked, "If we don't erase this incident from our records, once we leave the mountains and enter the towns, those Dragon Riders will bite us like mad dogs."
Although we've left Yunyan County, the Dragon Cavalry there are unlikely to pursue us, but Emperor Wu Hong has made the Dragon Tiger Cavalry omnipresent, so the Dragon Cavalry here in Gaoyang County will also have to chase after us.
Just to be on the safe side, I'd rather pay up than suffer any more trouble. I'm fed up with squatting in the woods eating grass anyway.
While the group chatted idly, the gray-haired giant ape remained motionless, relaxing and preparing to reap its spoils.
"brush!"
With murderous intent flashing in his eyes, Qin Lie shot out from his hiding place like an arrow. His left hand swept across his waist, and several flashing talismans flew out like they were free, turning into streaks of light and flying towards the center of the wanted martial artists.
His powerful qi surged, and boundless energy flowed into the iron-clad staff in his hand. With a single, forceful blow, he aimed straight for the head of the martial artist among the five who had launched a sneak attack from the side, wielding the Sun and Moon Mace.
With a clear objective, it's better to break one finger than to injure all ten. The Sun and Moon Mace is light and agile, and in a moment of haste, it's impossible to block this powerful vertical slash. If one tries to block it, one will only be smashed to pieces along with the mace.
A dog that bites never barks, let alone this time, which was biting people—it was a ferocious tiger.
Four flashing talismans burst forth with dazzling white light in succession. Even though the five warriors were experienced in combat, they had just gone through a fierce battle, and their minds were inevitably relaxed after the battle ended.
Suddenly attacked, they were all hit and their vision was briefly taken away by the flashing runes.
"die!"
Fu Que's eyes were filled with indifferent black ripples; under the unfolding of his true vision, he was not affected by the flashing rune in any way.
The Wind-Riding 3324 sword technique flowed through his mind like water. His standard waist knife swept up withered branches and fallen leaves, and like a ferocious beast hunting prey, it slashed at another martial artist with lightning speed.
The number of black and white lines that make up this martial artist is among the lowest of the five martial artists.
Fu Que had the same idea as Qin Lie: first, to take out the weaker ones by surprise, and then to gang up on the stronger ones in a righteous manner.
Try to get past these five martial artists as a slowdown without taking any damage!
The remaining three guards attacked a few beats slower, not because they hesitated or failed to keep up with the pace.
It was truly Qin Lie who acted inhumanely. When he threw out the flashing talismans, there was no warning at all. The four flashing talismans exploded at the same time, covering the area where the guards were located. They, like the five martial artists, were hit.
The figure that had rushed out involuntarily came to a stop.
"not good!"
The smile on the man with the big gun froze instantly, replaced by horror and rage.
He reacted extremely quickly; even with limited visibility, he could determine the direction of his opponent's attack solely based on experience and the sound of air being cut.
He brandished his spear, the tip flashing with a cold light, aiming straight for Qin Lie's location.
He wanted to relieve the siege of Wei by attacking the enemy's stronghold, thus securing a way out for his brothers.
