Pa da.
Pa da.
Pa da da.
He held the halberd in his right hand, but his left thumb was always plucking the next prayer bead.
The vortex of blood gathered from the ground and surged, turning into streaks of black-red demonic light that surged toward the Great Dark Heavenly Halberd. The arm that was holding the halberd seemed to be entangled by thousands of demonic snakes.
The arm suddenly lifted, and the Hell Dharma appeared.
Xia Ji urged his horse and charged at the thousand cavalry.
The distance between the two sides rapidly shortened.
A strong wind blew in his ears, and the prayer beads moved violently.
Xia Ji’s expression was calm as he saluted with his left hand. The black Buddhist light of the Acalanätha Dharma burst out from his body.
A three-foot-long Buddha’s body,
Holding a black halberd, He pointed ahead.
An instant later…
One person and a thousand cavalry collided fiercely.
He grabbed the end of the halberd and waved it with his strength. He used the most brutal force to draw a big circle that was like opening the sky. Circle after circle, wherever he passed, armor would be shattered, waist cut, and even people and horses would be sent flying. The radius of the big circle was expanded by the flying blood in the snow. Looking down from the distant city wall, one could only vaguely see red and black dahlias blooming.
The two sides rushed to the end and only stopped after a thousand meters, leaving behind a pile of corpses.
The cavalrymen pulled on their reins, and so did Xia Ji. There were already more than a hundred corpses between them.
Xia Ji slowly turned his horse around, and the cavalry did the same.
Second Charge.
The massacre continued.
And this time, another hundred people died along with their horses.
Xia Ji turned his horse around again. Every crack of the Beast-Face Consecutive Armor was filled with blood. With a calm expression, he shook his arm again, and the blood turned into a python that coiled around the halberd. A low cry that sounded like a baby’s movement came from the Vicious Weapon, and it was screaming crazily in satisfaction.
Kaka …
Xia Ji’s body suddenly fell down. It turned out that his steed couldn’t withstand the recoil of the two impacts and knelt down.
The young prince did not mind. He jumped off his horse and looked at the cavalry in the distance.
In this battle, he had already killed more than 4,500 people. Now, he had used up a lot of his strength and Genuine Qi.
On the opposite side, although the eyes of the cavalrymen behind their heavy helmets were still filled with killing intent, there was still a lot of shock.
The two sides faced off…
” This kid is at the end of his rope. Stop him! ”
Nangong He didn’t know what to say. If it wasn’t for the war flag in his hand, this troop would have collapsed a hundred times.
At this moment, he could only hope that the Seventh Prince had exhausted his strength.
Xia Ji listened to the voice and looked at the thick formation in front of him, which was surrounding him.
However, he did not move.
He silently felt his current state.
Although he had consumed a lot of energy, he could still return.
The remaining strength could still be used for another charge.
Thus, he suddenly turned around and pretended to walk towards the Imperial Capital. His movements slowed down a little, showing a weak appearance.
When Nangong He saw this, he suddenly felt hope again. He didn’t care if this was an act or not. He hurriedly urged his horse forward and pushed forward while presiding over the front line. He couldn’t let this prince, who was almost exhausted, return to the city.
Under his command, the formation turned into a huge crane wing and flew towards the target in the snow.
Before he came here, he had already understood from some of the officials in the city that there were very few soldiers that the prince could use in the entire Imperial City. In other words, as long as he was trapped under the city, no soldiers would go out to support him and welcome him back to the city.
Then, at this moment, even if he had to use a pile of flesh and blood, he had to kill him. Otherwise, there was no need to fight.
The machete in Nangong He’s hand shook violently as he roared, “”Kill!”
However, as he approached, the originally ‘weak’ Xia Ji suddenly stopped.
While he was still in shock, Xia Ji took a deep breath and turned around.
He took a step forward and revealed his Dharma Power.
Bang!
The ground beneath his feet rumbled incessantly, and the nine suns rose into the sky, circling around the vigorous figure that looked like a demonic dragon.
Da, da da, da da da…
It was extremely fast.
Like lightning, it moved close to the ground.
Like a long saber covered in scorching light, it slashed thousands of feet away in an instant. The battle line was torn apart, and the ” steel monster ” blocking the way was cut in half. The soldiers who rushed forward crashed into the rocks like a flood and flew wildly to both sides.
Nangong He felt his heart stop beating, and he couldn’t even breathe. However, he was still a general. When the light exploded, he quickly turned around and fled. He couldn’t care less about being surrounded.
One chased and one fled. It was said that they were late, but in fact, only a few seconds had passed.
Xia Ji closed the distance of several miles in a very short time, and the soldiers and horses between the two were directly pierced through by the surprise attack.
Nangong He’s face was ashen, and his previous calmness had completely disappeared. He only cared about running away.
But Xia Ji had already caught up to him.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the snowy forest ahead. A large flag with the word ” Deng ” fluttered in the wind.
The leader was wearing armor. When he looked up, there were already many forehead lines on his eyebrows, and his eagle-like eyes had many complicated expressions.
When Nangong Heyi saw this army, he actually charged into it.
And this army actually split up and allowed him to enter.
Nangong He panted loudly from the army. ” My head! Is my head still there, still there?”
As the voices faded, many shieldbearers stepped out. Layers of iron shields formed a tall mountain, protecting the generals behind them. The shieldbearers were the brave warriors of the Red Leopard Battalion. These warriors gripped their weapons tightly and looked at the prince who was walking towards them as if they were looking at a ghost coming from the battlefield and walking in the human world.
However, Xia Ji stopped and looked at the old general before him. He said quietly, “”You’re here.”
“Your Highness…” Deng Jue sighed softly.
“Why?” Xia Ji asked.
“The Eighth Princess came to find me,” Deng Jue replied.
Xia Qingxuan? ” “Is this the saying of destiny again?” Xia Ji asked.
“I don’t actually believe in these things,” Deng Jue said. “Even if I did, Your
Highness had already changed his mind when he was guarding the Imperial
City. However, the eighth princess…She actually has the awakened Supreme
Heavenly Mirror. This mirror can reveal the future.”
“Do you believe that the future is already set?” Xia Ji asked.
“Fate is like the galaxy. Only the major accidents will be like the explosion of stars, leaving behind brilliant brilliance.”
Fate is like water, changeable and changeable.
However, the brilliance was like a broken valley that lay in the future and could not be reversed.
The Supreme Heavenly Mirror did not reflect fate, but these extremely bright lights…
The eighth princess showed me a light, and His Highness was in that light.” “What did you see?” Xia Ji asked.
Deng Jue let out a long sigh. ” His Highness has killed countless people. His corpses are like mountains and his blood flows like oceans. However, he was imprisoned on the Heavenly Divine Pillar and suffered all kinds of pain and torture. Then…
He couldn’t continue.
“Speak.”
Deng Jue said, ” The Eighth Princess said that Your Highness is the greedy wolf in the killing tribulation and also a lone star. At the end of the killing tribulation, you are destined to…” It would turn into ashes.
This old man is not a treacherous person, and I don’t want to see Your Highness like this.
Therefore, I would like to ask Your Highness to leave this troublesome place.
This time, the Eighth Princess came to find me. If I didn’t agree, someone else would have come. If someone else came, they would definitely not let Your Highness off. Even if Your Highness is brave and unparalleled in the world, and can defeat an army, two armies, three armies, what about more? Your Highness, can you keep fighting?”
Nangong He, who had already joined the army, said angrily,Deng Jue, whose side are you on? ”
Deng Jue ignored him and said, “I just want to give Your Highness a choice.”
With His Highness’s power, he could bring the Ninth Princess out of the Imperial City.
If you hide in one place, who can find trouble with Your Highness?”
Deng Jue! ” Nangong He roared. ” The Ninth Princess has already decided on a marriage alliance! How dare you!! ”
Deng Jue still ignored him and continued, “Your Highness, if you think that what I did was wrong, my family is still in the city. Your Highness, you can use that child Kong Chan and the Deng family to threaten me. I…”
“Who can imprison me?” Xia Ji asked back.
“I don’t know.”
“I only have one question. Have you betrayed me? If he betrays, then he’s an enemy. If he doesn’t, then capture Nangong He.”
Xia Ji waited for three seconds, but Deng Jue did not move.
Xia Ji raised his black halberd from afar. ” Our friendship is over today. I’ve forgotten about the words ‘If the prince can return, my Deng family will only obey the prince from now on’. I’m tired today, so I’ll come out tomorrow and kill you as well.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Today’s battle had consumed a lot of energy, and the Deng Family Army had twenty-five thousand men in front of him, with another twenty-five thousand men surrounding them. It was enough for this charge.
“Deng Jue!” Nangong He said angrily. Charge forward and surround him from both sides. We can’t let him catch his breath! Otherwise, you and I might die tomorrow. This kid is extremely strong!”
Deng Jue watched for a long time before he suddenly shouted, ” No one is allowed to chase! ‘
After saying this, he sighed heavily and jumped down from the horse. He pushed away the layers of shields and took off his helmet. He threw it to the side and chased after the figure.”Your Highness! Your Highness!” Xia Ji didn’t turn back. He continued walking forward.
Deng Jue fell to his knees in the snow.
Clang!
The sword was unsheathed from his waist and placed horizontally on his neck.
Deng Jue raised his voice and said, ” Your Highness, it’s this old man’s disloyalty that owes you. Your Highness, you don’t have to come and take my head tomorrow. Today, this old man will return this life to Your Highness. ‘
Without waiting for anyone else to save him, he slashed his sword horizontally and cut open his neck. Blood gushed out, but he remained kneeling like a statue. After his death, the Deng Family Army naturally belonged to Deng Gongjiu. At this moment, the burly man rushed out and knelt in front of his father who had committed suicide.
These few days, his father had been in the wrong. However, since his father had made the decision, he was prepared to bear the reputation of disloyalty and injustice together. However, he did not expect his father to use his death to apologize. His heart was extremely complicated, but he couldn’t say anything. He really owed His Highness. He had agreed to be loyal, but he had changed sides before the battle.
Xia Ji didn’t stop walking or turn his head. He said in a faint voice, “”You knew that I would lose and die if you followed me. You have a son, a granddaughter, and a family. You were worried that if you angered me, your family would be in danger, so you killed yourself and begged for mercy?
If a person walked on the edge of death once, they would cherish the opportunity to live. You left death, infamy, and guilt to yourself, but you hoped that your family could live on.
However, can’t you trust me?”
Pa.
Deng Jue knelt down, propping himself up with both hands, and kowtowed heavily in the direction of the figure. He maintained this posture, and his last heartbeat completely disappeared.
Xia Ji paused. ” Deng Gongjiu, what do you think? ”
The burly general said, “Your Highness is right. It’s my Deng family who has let Your Highness down.”
But his father did not lie.
If Your Highness wants to take the Ninth Princess away, I will protect her with my life.”
Xia Ji let out a breath and said softly, “”Run for your lives.”
After saying that, he did not stop and quickly moved forward.
Deng Gongjiu was confused.
He didn’t understand what the words ‘Seventh Highness’ meant.
Was he swearing that he could defeat 50,000 soldiers by himself? Suppressing all kinds of riots in the Imperial City by himself?
