Chapter 182: Why Don't You Recognize Me Anymore!

"Clang!"

A flash of a blade flickered, blocking the cold light just in time!

Xiao Moting dodged to stand in front of Xiao Dabao, the Long Blade in his hand parrying the cold light!

The wind of the blade left a bloody gash on Xiao Dabao's face!

Xiao Dabao trembled as he raised his head, and upon seeing clearly the figure who had tried to assassinate him, he was instantly stunned.

"... Liujin, have you gone mad? I am your brother!"

Blood dripped down Xiao Dabao's face, and he was completely dumbfounded.

Xiao Moting stood before him, his sword-like brows also knitted into a "chuan" shape.

The "assassin" who had suddenly appeared before them was none other than Xiao Liujin.

But at this moment, Xiao Liujin was covered in blood, his eyes were bloodshot, and his entire body exuded a violent aura.

He held a Triangular Military Dagger in his hand, stained with blood.

When Xiao Liujin failed to kill Xiao Dabao with his first strike, he immediately dodged to the side and swung his blade to stab at Xiao Moting in front of him.

Xiao Moting's expression changed slightly; he swung his blade to parry while shouting in a deep voice, "Everyone fall back, his condition is not right."

Xiao Dabao was anxious to the point of desperation, but he was no match for Xiao Liujin at all and was forcibly pulled to the back by the soldiers beside him.

"Liujin, why don't you recognize me anymore?"

Qin Zhan's expression was cold and stern, "Your brother seems to have lost his mind; judging by the situation, he has also been fed Talisman Water."

"What?" Xiao Dabao felt a chill run through his entire body, nearly collapsing to the ground as he shouted frantically, "Liujin, Liujin!"

But after calling out twice, he suddenly covered his own mouth.

Xiao Moting was currently fighting Xiao Liujin, and the two were locked in an intense battle; he could not disturb the Prince.

Xiao Liujin had originally been an assassination expert, and now that he had lost his sanity, his combat effectiveness had risen by two levels.

Just now, if Xiao Moting hadn't blocked that blade in time, he would have already lost his life.

The surrounding soldiers also noticed that something was wrong.

Another group of "Tiansheng Army" had appeared on the street, but this group of people was actually the Beijiang Army that had been captured.

Seeing their own companions turned into "madmen,"

everyone was both shocked and furious.

Qin Zhan gritted his teeth, "This damn Guo Gui is simply devoid of humanity!"

Seeing their mindless companions rushing toward them,

many of the Beijiang Army did not dare to step forward.

The opponents were all their comrades-in-arms; how could they kill them?

"Deputy General Qin, what should we do now?"

Qin Zhan could not make up his mind either.

If they killed them,

the opponents were their comrades, the brothers they had lived and died with.

But if they didn't kill them, the opponents had already lost their sanity and were going to harm their own people.

Nearby, Xiao Moting and Xiao Liujin were fighting inseparably, the flash of blades and shadows of swords looking terrifying.

As the Beijiang War God, his martial prowess went without saying, but Xiao Liujin had lost his sanity, and his assassination skills were also extremely terrifying; a moment of carelessness would result in his throat being slit by a blade.

Xiao Moting knocked Xiao Liujin back with a strike of his blade, and having finally gained a moment of respite, he turned his head and shouted in a deep voice.

"Knock them unconscious and capture them all! Tie them up tightly."

"Yes."

Qin Zhan immediately led his men forward.

Although the opponents were ferocious, there were not many of them.

The Beijiang Army swarmed forward, some wielding bricks, others holding wooden sticks, knocking these maddened comrades unconscious, binding them tightly with thick hemp ropes, and stuffing rags into their mouths to prevent them from biting people.

On the other side!

"Clang!"

Xiao Moting knocked the Triangular Military Dagger out of Xiao Liujin's hand with his blade, then followed up with a kick in mid-air, knocking him to the ground.

Xiao Liujin's eyes were fierce, and he still wanted to crawl up and fight again.

Xiao Dabao immediately rushed up and struck him on the head with a stick.

Instantly, Xiao Liujin was knocked unconscious to the ground.

Xiao Dabao panted as he hurriedly used hemp rope to bind him tightly, his eyes full of worry.

"Liujin, don't scare me like this."

At this moment, several Beijiang soldiers escorted Guo Gui and the Military Advisor, pushing them forward.

Both were bound hand and foot, trembling with fear.

Xiao Moting walked up with a dark face and suddenly kicked Guo Gui to the ground.

"You corrupt official, you have caused the deaths of so many of my soldiers! You truly deserve to die ten thousand times."

Guo Gui had lost his smug demeanor, kneeling on the ground in terror and trembling incessantly.

"Prince, spare, spare my life."

Xiao Dabao gritted his teeth and pointed toward the street filled with corpses.

The street that was bustling just yesterday was now covered in blood, with corpses lying everywhere.

There were city guards, civilians from the city, and Beijiang Army...

He roared, "You have committed such atrocities, and you still want to live?"

Xiao Moting spoke coldly.

"You gave my soldiers Talisman Water to drink; hand over the antidote."

Guo Gui trembled, "The Talisman Water was made by the National Preceptor, and he never makes antidotes. These Beijiang Army soldiers who drank the Talisman Water can only go mad and die."

"What?" Xiao Moting grabbed him by the collar, his eyes red as he roared, "I am telling you, if one of my men dies, I will cut a piece of flesh from you, until your blood runs dry and your flesh is all carved away!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he was nearly driven to madness.

The scale of this battle was not large, yet the Beijiang Army suffered heavy casualties!

Even when the Beijiang faced the barbarians and the three hundred thousand strong troops of Daye, the casualties were not as high as this time!

The Beijiang Army were all killed or wounded by that bunch of lunatics, the "Tiansheng Army."

Xiao Moting's heart ached to the extreme, practically dripping blood, and he was filled with uncontrollable rage.

Guo Gui was so frightened his face turned pale.

"I, I am an official appointed by the Imperial Court, you cannot..."

Before the words could finish, a blade flashed.

"Ah!"

A spray of hot blood splashed onto Guo Gui's face!

The Military Advisor kneeling beside him had his head severed by Xiao Moting's blade; only a headless body remained kneeling, with filthy blood spraying wildly from the severed neck cavity.

Guo Gui collapsed to the ground in terror.

Xiao Moting's handsome face was extremely gloomy as he pointed a finger at Guo Gui.

"Hang him on the city wall!"

"Count the casualties; for every Beijiang Army soldier who dies, carve a cut into his body!"

When dealing with enemies, he was not that merciful!

Especially toward a corrupt official who caused the deaths of so many of his subordinates, he would be even less soft-hearted.

Xiao Moting's ruthless methods made Guo Gui completely terrified, and he begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Fourth Prince, spare my life, spare my life..."

From a tent not far away, bursts of painful howling could be heard.

This was the Beijiang Army soldiers who had been driven mad struggling.

Xiao Moting turned his head and strode into the tent.

Inside the tent, the captives were tied up like rice dumplings, struggling and writhing on the ground incessantly.

Xiao Liujin was also bound tightly, but his eyes remained bloodshot, radiating a ferocious killing intent.

"Liujin, do you still recognize me?" Xiao Dabao squatted to the side and spoke with a trembling voice.

Xiao Liujin roared at him and even tried to bite him.

Xiao Moting lifted his foot and walked into the tent.

Suddenly, Xiao Liujin stared at him and opened his mouth, as if wanting to say something.

Xiao Dabao was pleasantly surprised, "Liujin, have you recognized the Prince?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Liujin actually nodded slowly.

Xiao Dabao wept with joy, "That's great, you have finally regained your sanity..."

Just at this moment, Xiao Liujin stared at Xiao Moting and called out hoarsely.

"Dad..."
