Chapter 515: Battle Formation

As early as after the Huang residence affair in Fucheng County, Mei Qinghe had already sent word back to the capital that Li Miao was coming to the Dengzhou Guard.

The reason Li Miao and his group of three never encountered any villains on this journey was that as Li Miao moved forward, his subordinates were sweeping the ground ahead; not to mention corrupt gentry and local tyrants, even a mad dog passing by would have been beaten to death and dragged away long ago.

Not to mention those greenwood heroes and demonic sects...

What? You spat on the ground in the capital twenty-eight years ago?

Tie him up and take him away!

If you stick phlegm on my Commander's sole, I'll kill your whole family!

What? You stole a child's candied hawthorn thirty-two years ago?

Tie him up and take him away!

If you don't change your ways and make the child cry, disturbing my Commander, I'll kill your whole family!

So it was impossible for "framing the loyal" to happen in the Dengzhou Guard, because for months, the eyes of the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard had been fixed tightly on this place. Senior Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Zhu Zai and the Emperor himself asked every three days; if not for the many affairs in the court, the two would have loved to go on an eastern tour directly, moving the court to this Dengzhou Guard to wait.

Precisely because of this, Li Miao did not go to the Dengzhou Guard prison to rescue people at the first opportunity.

Things were also as he expected.

The "wronged" Qi Jiguang and the empty Dengzhou Guard were all traps set by An Ziyang and Qi Jiguang after collusion, precisely to lure these Japanese pirates who had long harbored evil intentions and were eyeing Qi Jiguang covetously.

Only at this moment did the dagger finally appear at the end of the map.

"Kill!!!"

After Qi Jiguang shouted this, he didn't wait for the Qi Family Army and the Dengzhou Guard troops to follow, jumping off the execution platform like a fierce tiger that had been hungry for months, drawing a Japanese sword a full six feet long from its scabbard, throwing away the scabbard, and rushing forward.

Crossing past the dumbfounded Wu Mingxiao and Ming Wanhai, in the eyes of countless commoners crying uncontrollably, he crossed a distance of dozens of *zhang*, meeting the Japanese pirates at the very front.

*Swish! *

A dozen Japanese swords slashed toward his face!

Qi Jiguang only pulled his right hand downward violently, and the exaggeratedly long Japanese sword pivoted on his shoulder, knocking away all the incoming blades.

His palm spun on the hilt, gripping it in reverse.

The killing intent accumulated for months erupted.

"Qi Family Blade—Ding Character Second Kill."

The blade lying on the ground swept horizontally, from bottom right to top left, and when it reached the peak, the reverse grip changed to a forward grip, and it slashed back suddenly!

*Clatter—*

Blood splashed open.

The exaggerated length of the blade was born for killing in battle formations. With just one move, he cleared the area in front of him!

However, this was not a ring, but a battlefield.

"Totsugeki desu (Charge)!"

Before the corpses could fall, the human tide surrounded him; the next instant, more blades slashed from every direction within sight! Even Japanese pirates who had been cut in two but were not yet dead lunged at his legs and feet, intending to lock his movement!

"Heh, beasts are beasts."

"They don't even change their way of dying!"

Qi Jiguang's gaze froze, the blade spinning along the ground, sweeping off several legs and feet while his figure retreated suddenly.

"Qi Family Blade."

"Ding Character Return—"

When the blades in front missed, his long sword also swept behind him.

*Woo—*

The long sword swung straight from behind toward the front, and at the same time, he stepped forward violently!

"—Kill!!!"

A roar, like a lion's roar or a tiger's howl, exploded! Instantly suppressing the circle of Japanese pirates in front of him!

The blade slashed down violently toward the tops of the Japanese pirates' heads in front; Japanese swords, scalps, bones, and flesh were split open one after another, splashing to both sides!

The Japanese pirates had just woken up from the roar when they were drenched in scarlet, their vision blocked; in panic, they slashed blindly, attempting to stop the enemy who was like a demon god.

Suddenly, their waists felt cold and hot.

A voice without a trace of emotion recited.

"Qi Family Blade—Three Swings and Advance."

A figure rushed past their side, and dense roars and screams came from behind.

The Japanese pirates just wanted to raise their hands to wipe the blood off their faces, but their arms fell off; they wanted to turn around, but their upper bodies suddenly slid off from their waists, their severed arms supporting them on the ground for a few times, crawling a distance, and then there was no more sound.

This nineteen-year-old General Qi opened a bloody path in just a few breaths, and continued to widen and extend it.

At the same time, the Qi Family Army hiding under the execution platform rushed over. ===== CHAPTER 516 =====
