The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 561
Chapter 561 Be Trapped in a Tight Encirclement
Ye Xiu smiled and said, “Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s just that after Lin Tianhao is loyal, he can’t bear to sink down like this. Therefore, he intends to introduce him to the Heaven and Earth Sect and accept him as a disciple.”
“Is that really the only reason?” Li Qing looked at him doubtfully.
After Zhongliang … this is simply a joke. The Heaven and Earth Sect is far away in Xuanzhou, what does Zhongliang of Chu have to do with you?
“Brother Li Qing’s eyes are as sharp as a glimmer. You can tell at a glance that this is not the only reason.” Ye Xiu laughed dryly and continued, “This Lin Clan’s Immortal Battle Physique and Immortal Battle Flag have spread far and wide, shaking the world. Our Heaven and Earth Sect cannot bear to lose these two peerless techniques from now on, and intends to take them for its own use.”
“So it’s for the Immortal Battle Physique and the Immortal Battle Flag! That’s a good idea.” Li Qing sneered in his heart.
“Speaking of which, are these two peerless techniques really that powerful?”
‘”The Immortal Battle Body isn’t that strange. It’s just a good body refining technique. The important thing is the Immortal Battle Flag. The power of this formation is truly extraordinary, and its applicability is very common. It’s easy to learn and use. It can form a strong fighting strength in a short period of time. Our Great Qin Dynasty has coveted it for a long time.”
Li Qing nodded in agreement, “That’s right, I’ve seen the power of the Imperishable Battle Flag before. It is indeed extremely formidable. Lin Changfeng is known as the pillar of the Chu Kingdom, and this battle formation has played an important role in resisting the attacks of the Zhao and Wei kingdoms for decades.”
“But the question is, your Great Qin Dynasty is so powerful, isn’t there a stronger battle formation? Why do you covet this Immortal Battle Flag?”
“Looks like Brother Li Qing has a certain misunderstanding about battle formations. It’s harder to create a top-notch battle formation than to create a top-notch peerless technique.” Ye Xiu smiled and explained to Li Qing.
It turns out that battle formations are not something you can create if you want to. Even Dao Realm experts cannot have a deep understanding of the battlefield without being baptized by war, let alone create top-grade battle formations.
Lin Changfeng rose from the end of his life and experienced countless battles. He had an extremely deep understanding of war, and no one could compare to him. He could be said to be a famous general of his generation.
After accumulating a wealth of experience and learning from other battle formations, after decades of painstaking contemplation, he finally created the Undying Battle Flag.
The Imperishable Battle Flag he had created had reached a decent level in all respects. The most important advantage was that it was easy to learn and use!
An army would have to go through countless exercises if they wanted to cultivate the Combat Formation Attack Technique. Moreover, they had high requirements in terms of numbers and strength.
However, the Eternal Battle Formation did not have such requirements. The threshold was extremely low. As long as an Eternal Banner was forged, it would be able to form combat strength in a short period of time. It was simply a supreme weapon of war.
“Back then, both the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Qin Dynasty had recruited Lin Changfeng. However, this person was extremely loyal and refused to leave the Chu Kingdom. He really lost all his ability for nothing.”
Li Qing said, “But now, Lin Tianhao has a firm foothold in Chu. He is preparing to gather all the ambitious people in the world to recover the country’s borders and kill the Emperor of Chu to avenge his grandfather. How can you take him away?”
“How can you know that you haven’t tried before? The Chu Kingdom is only a small place after all. Only when you reach a wider world can you display your greatest value. Why bother staying in a corner?” Ye Xiu’s words were filled with disdain for this place.
At this moment, a large number of neat footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, causing the ground to tremble slightly, as if thousands of troops were rushing over.
“What’s going on?” Lu Li Luo was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Ye Xiu smiled confidently and said, “The army of Fan Cheng is here. We killed a group of them, so they naturally won’t let it go. However, this speed is too slow. It’s only now that they’re late.”
“Aren’t you afraid, Brother Ye? It seems that there are quite a few of them here. I’m afraid it won’t be so easy to send them away, right?” Li Qing said.
Lu Li Luo immediately said discontentedly, “What a joke, how could Brother Xiu be afraid of this mob? One person and one sword can kill him and turn him upside down, and he can move around freely!”
“If you are trapped in a tight encirclement, or if you are trapped in a battle formation, you may not be able to escape easily. Please do not let down your guard.” Li Qing couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh. The two of them had clearly never experienced a war. It was not a good thing to compare the army to a mob.
If it was just facing a group of ordinary martial artists, there was naturally nothing to be afraid of. However, now that they were facing a well-trained army, it would be very difficult for them to display their individual strength.
Hearing this, Ye Xiu was obviously a little unhappy. He was a disciple of a sect, and he was extremely arrogant. How could he be underestimated?
“Brother Li Qing, please stay here for a moment. Wait for me to kill off the invading enemies, then I’ll drink wine with you!”
Ye Xiu smiled coldly and picked up the sword in his hand. He immediately walked out of the restaurant and stood quietly waiting at the entrance. His hands were crossed over his chest, giving him the demeanor of a peerless swordsman.
With a single sword strike, he was able to retreat thousands of troops and horses, and he was in charge of everything. He was going to turn the world upside down today.
“Brother Xiu is so handsome!” Lu Li Luo’s eyes immediately lit up with small stars.
Liu Ke’er couldn’t help but smile and ask Li Qing, “Do you think this person can repel the enemy?”
“It’s hard to say. This Ye Xiu’s strength is not trivial. Perhaps he can really succeed.” Li Qing did not comment.
He scanned the restaurant with his divine sense and discovered that the entire restaurant was surrounded by the army. Judging from the number, there were thousands of people. All of them were wearing heavy armor and their movements were good.
With Li Qing’s strength, he would definitely be able to escape. He didn’t have the slightest bit of worry and had the mentality to watch a good show.
“Put down your weapons and surrender!” A general dressed in spiritual armor walked out.
“Hmph, a bunch of mobs! Today, I’ll show you how powerful I am!” A look of disdain flashed in Ye Xiu’s eyes. He looked down on the fighting strength of this place. In his opinion, the State of Chu was located in a remote place, and its national strength had been weakened for a long time. How strong could it be?
Swoosh!
A sword light lit up and streaked across like a meteor, instantly killing dozens of martial artists.
“Cloth bronze walls and iron walls! Kill without mercy!” The general commanded the army and began to set up battle formations.
Boom!
All the soldiers took out a shield and stood forward, forming a wall of steel. A black light lit up, deep and heavy.
This sword light pierced through the copper and iron walls, and it was actually unable to shake at all, causing Ye Xiu’s expression to change.
“What a formidable battle formation! It seems that I have underestimated them! But do you think you can do anything to me with this mere battle formation?” Ye Xiu’s True Essence burst forth, and his aura was like a rainbow as he continuously commanded the flying sword in the air to cut through the void and stab into the gap between the copper walls and iron walls.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The sound of blacksmithing could be heard. The battle outside was extremely intense, and it was often accompanied by miserable screams.
“How’s the situation outside?” Liu Ke’er asked. As he was sitting in the restaurant, he could not see the battle clearly.
“It’s inextricably linked.” Li Qing said in a deep voice.
Time slowly passed. Ye Xiu only felt that his killing hands had softened, but the crowd around him seemed endless. He held onto his shield and constantly squeezed over. There was practically no room for movement.
Fortunately, the divine sword in his hand was extraordinary. It was a spirit artifact, so he was able to repeatedly break through the bronze and iron walls and gain a moment’s breathing space.
However, if things continued like this, the situation didn’t seem to be good. At this moment, Ye Xiu realized that he had made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, so he was trapped in a tight encirclement, unable to extricate himself.
“Should we help him?” Liu Ke’er said.
“There’s no hurry. If we attack now, this person will definitely not appreciate it. He might even become angry from embarrassment.” Li Qing shook his head.
“This fellow is indeed a bit arrogant. It’s good to sharpen his temper again.” Liu Ke’er nodded.
“Most of the disciples from the great sects are like this. This person looks so young. He probably hasn’t gone through much training. It’s normal for him to be a bit arrogant.”
At this moment, Ye Xiu suddenly used his trump card, and a huge ancient seal flew out, fiercely pressing down on the ground, instantly crushing a large number of people to death.
“Bold Berserker!” Several Xiantian 10th layer experts in the enemy army immediately attacked the ancient seal and quickly blocked it.
The two sides were engaged in a fierce battle. After Ye Xiu used his trump card, he had indeed killed many people, but that was all. He had not been able to break out of the encirclement, let alone repel them.
He couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed when he thought of the boast he had praised before. This time, he was completely defeated here and underestimated the heroes of the world.
“This time, it’s troublesome. The Heaven and Earth Seal has already been used. We haven’t escaped yet. What should we do?” He was anxious.
Luckily, I have another trump card. It’s time to reveal my identity as a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect, so as not to be beaten to death by this group of reckless men.
In his opinion, as long as he revealed his true identity, the enemies would definitely stop. Who would dare to kill a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect?
“Brother Xiu, why aren’t you doing your best? Our situation seems to be getting worse and worse.” Lu Li Luo was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Ye Xiu immediately felt a little embarrassed and said, “Don’t worry, I’m just playing with them now. This group of people is too rude, we have to convince them with virtue.”
“Kill!”
More and more people rushed forward, each holding a fine shield, surrounding Ye Xiu and trapping him in a torrent of steel.
“There’s nothing I can do. If I lose face, I’ll lose face.” Ye Xiu suddenly shouted, “Wait, I am a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect. Everyone, don’t fight for now, have something to say!”
Hearing this, the surrounding martial artists immediately stopped.
“Heaven and Earth Sect disciple? What are you talking about? Beat him to death!” The general on the side sneered and immediately gave the order.
“Kill! Kill this thief!” The surrounding martial artists rushed forward once again, screaming like wolves and tigers.
“I really am a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect! Don’t be impulsive!” Ye Xiu shouted loudly, but no one paid attention, which made his scalp numb.
“Are you kidding me? Sure enough, they’re all a bunch of brainless reckless men! My life is over!”
“Brother Ye, don’t be afraid. I’ll save you!” Li Qing slowly walked out of the restaurant and pushed his palm out horizontally.
