Chapter 451
"Very good, the enemy went to chase Tang Ruan, let’s take the opportunity to attack from behind, charge up and slash them all!"
Gu Gu Qingjiao’s voice wasn't loud, but all the female soldiers heard it.
The female soldiers gripped their two-handed Phoenix-Cry blades tightly and quickly caught up to the enemy soldiers in front.
Although the enemy soldiers were wearing iron armor, they were attacking from behind now, so they had no defense at all, solidly bearing the power of the two-handed Shadow-Tracing Phoenix-Cry blades.
That was a two-handed greatsword.
Slashing straight down on the body, even iron armor couldn't block it.
After a few consecutive dance tactics, the enemy suffered dozens of casualties.
All were killed from behind, easy as pie.
But soon, some enemy soldiers behind reacted and turned to fight.
The power of provocation was indeed useful, but it would fail when in danger or fear.
The remaining enemy soldiers fought back in a hurry, but how could they be the opponents of these female soldiers who were like wolves and tigers, with high morale?
Their counterattack was weak and powerless, completely failing to exert the strength of Tier 2 soldiers.
They could only raise their shields in embarrassment, struggling under the female soldiers’ great blades.
Soon these enemy soldiers were beaten into a rout and died out.
The female soldiers caught up to the enemy again, launching another round of slashing.
Zhao Chi didn't attack the enemy soldiers; his target was Xiao Li.
Controlling Gu Gu Qingjiao’s long legs, he chased fiercely, catching up to him in a few steps.
The great blade raised.
But didn't slash down.
He was snatched of control of the arm by Gu Gu Qingjiao.
Eh?
This was the first time.
Zhao Chi: [What’s wrong, Gu Gu Qingjiao?]
Gu Gu Qingjiao: [My lord, should we cripple him first? Cut off his legs, make him unable to run around, then dig out the things in his system space before killing him, there should be enough time.]
Zhao Chi: [...Fine.]
Zhao Chi followed Gu Gu Qingjiao’s suggestion, leaning over and sweeping horizontally.
Clack!
A blade swept out, Xiao Li’s legs were severed neatly from the thighs.
"Ah? Ahhhhhhhh!"
Xiao Li screamed and fell, his legs like launching rockets, constantly spraying fresh blood flames.
Gu Gu Qingjiao immediately opened her mouth, spraying a thick white paste that stuck to Xiao Li’s wound.
Almost instantly, the cross-section of his legs healed.
Xiao Li looked at his body in a daze, then at the severed legs spraying blood beside him, his spirit dazed.
But Gu Gu Qingjiao clearly didn't give him more time to react.
A large amount of red silk sprayed out.
The red silk now was thick and tough, and its stickiness was higher, harder to break free from than before.
Xiao Li was stuck into a ball, unable to break free at all.
At this time, an urgent roar came from the front.
"You’ve been provoked, hurry up and clear your minds, I’ll give you treatment!"
Jin Wei rushed over quickly, but was still a step too late.
He used the spiritual technique in a hurry.
Several beams of light descended.
Xiao Biao and all the remaining soldiers regained consciousness.
Their eyes cleared, and they quickly assessed the situation.
But all they saw was a field of corpses and over 120 panicked soldiers.
Jin Wei pointed at Gu Qing and said, "Form up immediately! That woman is the commander; she crippled Xiao Li, kill her first!"
Xiao Biao was stunned: "What? Xiao Li is crippled?"
Jin Wei roared, "Isn't it because you fell for the provocation? Why did you foolishly charge back? Hurry up and finish that woman! Lady Xiao Ning sent me specifically to help you, I will heal you!"
Xiao Biao snapped out of it.
But a shadow appeared above his head.
He hurriedly pushed Jin Biao away: "Dodge!"
Whoosh!
The giant blade swung down, churning up the soil.
Jin Wei and Xiao Biao retreated rapidly, lingering fear in their hearts.
Gu Qing drew her great blade.
Zhao Chi: [Gu Qing, I will control the body. The left hand is yours, the right is mine. You spray the silk, I will attack.]
Gu Qing: [Heehee, such a nostalgic feeling. Then the left eye is mine to control, and the right eye is yours, my lord.]
Zhao Chi: [Agreed.]
Gu Qing: [Who is the first target?]
Zhao Chi: [Go after the one on the left; he can dispel abnormal status effects.]
Gu Qing: [Understood.]
Jin Wei looked at Gu Qing in surprise: "Hey? Why are you looking at me? Don't, don't chase me, I'm no threat to you."
He had originally come to provide support, but now he was fleeing frantically.
Xiao Biao watched, still shaken, as Gu Qing chased Jin Wei.
He immediately began commanding the remaining 120-plus men.
"Hurry up and line up! Front row, shields up! Back row, use your spears! That woman is nothing to be afraid of; five of our warriors can handle her. Jin Wei, run this way!!"
The training of Xiao Ning's soldiers was indeed quite good.
Despite dozens of deaths, the remaining soldiers did not collapse; they actually gathered together to organize a new formation.
Blades and shields in front, long spears in the back.
The formation was tight and orderly.
Even if their strength was inferior to the female soldiers, charging in rashly would certainly result in heavy casualties.
Zhao Chi's 50 female blade-soldiers did not attack rashly.
Although they were strong, they were few in number and lacked any added survivability.
A head-on charge would lead to losses.
These female soldiers were certainly not afraid; their morale was high, and they were all eager to charge the formation.
But Gu Qing had specifically warned them before the battle that Zhao Chi had few men, so they could not fight based on their own whims and suffer needless losses.
They could not cause losses for Zhao Chi.
These female soldiers had to forcibly suppress their inner desire for battle, lining up in front of the enemy formation and waiting for Zhao Chi's orders.
Zhao Chi was also aware of this situation.
He ordered: "Hold your positions and face the enemy. I will go deal with their hero!"
"Understood!"
The female blade-soldiers raised their shields, held their great blades, and stood tightly together, forming a two-row horizontal line.
Hearing this order from Zhao Chi, the enemy soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief.
They looked at the female soldiers opposite them, feeling a chill run down their spines.
How could such beautiful women have such icy gazes?
And this was war—were they not afraid of death?
Why did they all possess such a will to fight?
When a person holds a resolve to die, whether that person is a woman or a child, it will strike fear into others.
Although the remaining 120 enemy soldiers were in a tight formation, their morale and determination were not on the same level as those fearless female soldiers.
Xiao Biao had no time to look at those female soldiers; his gaze remained fixed on Jin Wei.
He had originally wanted Jin Wei to run back behind the formation, but it looked like he wouldn't make it back...
Xiao Biao immediately ordered: "We move out, finish off these 50 women, and then go surround that giantess."
"...Yes!"
Although the morale of Xiao Biao's soldiers was not high, they were still capable of fighting.
They maintained their formation and advanced cautiously.
No one underestimated the female soldiers opposite them.
They all knew that those female soldiers not only had an incredibly strong will to fight, but their strength was also astonishing.
They had already experienced their strength while being chased earlier.
Now, standing before them and seeing them easily holding two-handed blades with just their right hands, they knew these were definitely not ordinary female soldiers.
Xiao Biao said: "Hurry up, what are you afraid of? Three of us against one of them, surround them!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Biao's soldiers split into three groups to surround them.
However, at this moment, everyone heard Jin Wei's scream.
They all stopped involuntarily and turned their heads.
They saw Jin Wei running for his life, but his body was covered in sticky red threads.
The elasticity of the threads was excellent; they were stretched extremely long by Jin Wei, yet they never broke, pulling on him with increasing force.
Jin Wei's speed grew slower and slower until it reached its limit.
Gu Qing pulled her giant arm back, and Jin Wei, like a hooked fish, was yanked into the air, kicking and struggling helplessly.
"Damn it, what is this? Let me go!"
Jin Wei was thrown rapidly toward Gu Qing.
The great blade in Gu Qing's hand was already raised.
Jin Wei was terrified to the point of wailing: "Oh, damn it, don't, don't, don't, ahhhhh—"
Gu Qing swung the blade.
Pfft!
Jin Wei was split into three pieces.
One torso, two legs.
Similarly, Gu Qing quickly healed him and wrapped him up like a rice dumpling in mid-air.
Then, Gu Qing turned around.
She looked at Xiao Biao.
When Xiao Biao saw Gu Qing's gaze shift toward him, he was scared out of his wits.
Watching Gu Qing run over, his legs shook uncontrollably.
He didn't even have time to command the battle in front of him, raising his hands high to beg for mercy.
"That... hero, where is Zhao Chi? I want to see Zhao Chi. We are old acquaintances, this is all a misunderstanding, let's stop fighting."
Xiao Biao was not familiar with Zhao Chi at all.
They could only be considered acquaintances.
But at this moment, in order to survive, he had to make things up.
Gu Qing: [My lord, is that true?]
Zhao Chi: [Don't listen to his crap! Grab him and hack him!]
Gu Qing: [My lord, that line is truly manly, I like it.]
Pfft!
Gu Qing's giant left hand opened.
