Chapter 121: Immovable as a Mountain! One Against Four!

~16 min read 3,147 words

"Good means, this demon woman Zhao Yuanjing really has good means."

"Actually using Miao Qingfeng, this protector, as bait……"

Lu Zhangsheng's thoughts stirred slightly, and he knew the key; if his cultivation had not greatly increased, he would have died or been peeled alive today.

However, after his skills and techniques all broke through, these few people, although their pressure was extremely strong, did not bring him the kind of fatal threat.

The other party's strength was clearly still within his bearable range.

Lu Zhangsheng scanned the four people who suddenly appeared quietly, his eyes shining brightly.

"Not good, it's the four protectors from the third to the sixth of the heretic cult."

Jiang Chen looked at the few people who suddenly rushed out in despair.

These four were all mid-stage Tuotai experts, led by the third protector Yu Zhangyuan and the fourth protector Luo Hongzhi.

The fifth protector Ge Fei and the sixth protector Xin Shaoqi were also mid-stage Tuotai, and their strength could not be underestimated.

The four of them coming out together was almost an irresistible force.

Except for that mysterious Venerable Lord and Vice Cult Leader, and the first and second protectors, these four were almost the strongest combat power of the heretic cult.

"Brother Ye, they must be coming for you, find a chance to escape this place immediately……"

Jiang Chen looked at Lu Zhangsheng decisively and shouted loudly.

That Venerable Lord in the dark must have seen Ye Chen's strength improve too fast and the threat was too great, so he specially set up a dead end here.

He was already a body of serious injuries and could not kill his way out of the encirclement, but Ye Chen was different; the other party belonged to a genius martial artist secretly cultivated by the government, and it was a great pity to fall here.

Using this remnant body to assist Ye Chen in killing his way out of the encirclement could be considered worthy of the government's cultivation for many years.

Just in this instant, he secretly made up his mind.

"Hehe, escape? Everyone in the city will die today! Go down and be buried with Protector Miao."

Yu Zhangyuan sneered, full of disdain.

The four of them coming out together was already a dead-end situation; except for some top experts, no one could survive.

Clearly, this Ye Chen in front of him was still quite a bit short.

A group of heretic cult experts nearby also looked at Lu Zhangsheng and Jiang Chen as if looking at dead people.

In everyone's view, these two government experts would surely die today, without any suspense.

After the city was breached

"Oh no, the two lords are in danger."

A group of City Guard soldiers on the city wall were filled with fear; they were also very familiar with these wanted experts.

These four people were all notorious Tuotai experts with extremely terrifying strength.

A large number of martial artists within the city also revealed expressions of despair one after another; today, they would likely have to abandon the city and flee, and it was unknown how many would be able to escape back to the county city.

"Ding Songyang, you go and kill Jiang Chen; leave this person to the four of us."

Yu Zhangyuan's tone was cold, and murderous intent erupted in his eyes.

Today, these two must die.

"Rest assured, this person Jiang Chen is already injured and definitely won't be able to hold on for long."

Ding Songyang let out a sinister laugh, his face full of confidence.

The five people's momentum suddenly erupted, and a powerful aura of blood-evil surged into the sky, kicking up gusts of dust and smoke.

The numerous government martial artists felt as if a giant rock were pressing on their chests, with a sense of difficulty in breathing.

One after another, they revealed expressions of horror.

"Kill."

Following Yu Zhangyuan's order, the great battle broke out instantly.

Several people immediately drew their respective weapons and charged toward Lu Zhangsheng and the other with all their might.

Bursts of baleful aura intertwined together, as if countless ghost shadows were roaring within it.

The four Protectors directly surrounded Lu Zhangsheng, while Ding Songyang met Jiang Chen; the goal of these people was very clear.

Lu Zhangsheng's expression was quite solemn as he watched the four people in front, behind, left, and right firmly block his path of retreat; it was clear the opponents had come prepared, constantly guarding against his astonishing speed.

Since he could not hide, then he would fight.

Since the day he began practicing martial arts, having experienced countless battles, he had never once retreated.

Although these people were strong, he was not weak either!

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Lu Zhangsheng fully activated the Secret Art Threefold Wave, and the Qi and blood around his body climbed step by step, surging straight into the clouds.

He stood with his feet apart, and a transparent Gang Qi shield suddenly appeared around his body, emitting a sense of being as immovable as a mountain.

At this moment, he unleashed his full strength without any hesitation.

"Slash."

Lu Zhangsheng suddenly struck with his blade, slashing toward the four people in front.

A bright blade light flickered in the void, carrying an astonishing sense of oppression, as if it were about to slash through everything.

"Courting death."

Seeing Lu Zhangsheng attempting to fight four against one, Yu Zhangyuan and the others could not help but reveal expressions of sarcasm.

As top-tier experts, several of them had confidence.

Even a single person could suppress the opponent; they did not expect this person in front of them to be so "arrogant and conceited."

The four immediately activated their Qi and blood to the fullest, brandishing their weapons and slashing forward fiercely.

Bursts of blood-evil aura permeated the entire field, making one feel nauseated.

Jiang Chen and Ding Songyang also charged toward their respective opponents.

The crowd suddenly collided together.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Violent air waves swept in all directions, and blade marks covered the ground as if it had been plowed; the entire battlefield was a mess.

After one strike.

Lu Zhangsheng immediately employed the Thousand Jin Drop, landing firmly on the ground like a high mountain, difficult to shake.

Where his feet stepped, two small pits suddenly appeared.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The attacks of the other three also landed one after another on Lu Zhangsheng's body-protecting Gang Qi, emitting earth-shattering roars.

The Gang Qi shield shook violently, and amidst the lingering light, it stabilized again after a few breaths.

After one move, Yu Zhangyuan and the four others also stopped and stood in place.

Several people's expressions were incomparably horrified.

"What a strong Body Protection Divine Art!"

This kind of Gang Qi was simply shocking; if the opponent were to break through to the Innate Realm and transform it into Innate Divine Gang, it would likely be even more terrifying.

"This person is too great a threat; quickly activate the Demon Blood Essence to kill the opponent..."

Yu Zhangyuan's face was full of solemnity.

During the collision just now, he discovered that the opponent was actually not weaker than himself.

This was simply hard for him to believe.

According to the Holy Sect's intelligence, when the opponent first made a move, he was only around the Bone Forging Realm.

He did not expect that in just a few short years, he would have cultivated to such an astonishing level.

This kind of talent could be called a genius figure in the entire Dazhou.

This made the several of them even more jealous.

Which one of them had not spent dozens of years cultivating to the Tuotai Realm?

Jiang Chen, who was fighting Ding Songyang, saw this situation and was also filled with surprise and joy.

He did not expect Ye Chen to actually block the combined strike of four people.

Looking at it this way, the hope of the opponent returning alive had greatly increased.

"Brother Ye, do not fight for long; quickly find an opportunity to leave..."

Jiang Chen reminded him loudly; he was quite worried that the opponent would be too stubborn and instead lose the chance to escape.

"Courting death, daring to be distracted while fighting with This Seat."

Ding Songyang's face was full of murderous intent, as if he felt insulted.

He activated his Qi and blood again and charged up.

"Kill."

Yu Zhangyuan and the others began to fully activate the Demon Blood Essence within their bodies.

An aura that was evil to the extreme instantly permeated the entire field, and blood-colored stripes immediately covered the faces of Yu Zhangyuan and the others.

Bat wings formed from blood-evil aura flickered in the void.

All of this happened in an instant.

Yu Zhangyuan and the four others charged toward Lu Zhangsheng again.

Their momentum was a large notch higher than before.

In the blink of an eye, several people arrived before Lu Zhangsheng, brandishing the weapons in their hands and slashing down fiercely.

With this strike, several people intended to slash through the body-protecting Gang Qi of the person in front of them and suppress and kill this person on the spot.

Lu Zhangsheng did not dare to be negligent and immediately activated a drop of golden blood deep within his chest cavity.

"Hoo..."

A plume of essence Qi smoke surged straight into the clouds, and his entire momentum increased by another notch.

Even the body-protecting Gang Qi around his body was stained with wisps of golden radiance.

"Kill."

He suddenly drew his blade and slashed forward again.

The sharp blade light flickered in the void, emitting a piercing screech as it rubbed against the air.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The weapons of Lu Zhangsheng and Yu Zhangyuan collided fiercely, kicking up a wave of air; the ground instantly cracked open, and dust and smoke rolled everywhere.

The attacks of Luo Hongzhi and the other three also slashed fiercely against Lu Zhangsheng's body-protecting Gang Qi, emitting an earth-shattering roar.

The transparent Gang Qi shield shook violently, and fluorescent light flickered on it; after a few breaths, however, it stabilized again.

The full-force strike of several people actually still did not break Lu Zhangsheng's body-protecting Gang Qi.

"This is impossible!"

Yu Zhangyuan and the others were filled with horror.

The four of them activated their Demon Blood Essence, yet they still did not break the turtle shell in front of them, which was simply hard for them to believe.

Ding Songyang was also filled with shock; he did not expect this mysterious expert to actually have such means.

"Well done, Brother Ye."

Jiang Chen was fighting desperately to resist Ding Songyang's attacks, but his face was full of joy.

With only one arm, he was already in precarious situations and likely would not be able to hold on for long.

"Ten thousand victories!"

A group of martial artists on the city wall saw this and were all filled with excitement; they did not expect this Lord Ye to actually block it.

The numerous heretic cultists outside the city were also in disbelief, their eyes wide open, as if they had seen a ghost.

"This person must have activated his blood essence, otherwise it would be impossible to block our full-force strike."

"Quickly surround and kill the opponent; his blood essence won't be able to last long."

Murderous intent erupted in Yu Zhangyuan's eyes.

Such a genius with great threats must be killed today.

"Kill."

Several people activated their Qi and blood to the fullest again and charged toward Lu Zhangsheng.

Endless blood-evil aura intertwined together, as if even the high-altitude clouds were being blocked.

"Trying to exhaust me?"

Lu Zhangsheng felt the one hundred drops of golden blood in his body and the more than one thousand Source Energy Points in his hand, and he smiled coldly in his heart.

His blood essence foundation, coupled with his resources, was enough to fully erupt for three days and three nights, which was simply not something these few heretic cult Protectors could compare to.

"Kill."

Lu Zhangsheng fully erupted his blood essence and charged toward Yu Zhangyuan and the others.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Both sides fought a bloody battle on the open ground, and violent energy swept in all directions; the entire battlefield kicked up a cloud of dust and smoke, making it impossible to see clearly.

Time passed slowly.

Half an hour passed.

Yu Zhangyuan and the others gradually began to feel that something was wrong.

The blood essence in the bodies of the four of them had been consumed by more than half, and their momentum had already begun to weaken; looking at the opponent, not only did he not show any signs of decline, but he fought more fiercely the longer he fought, as if he were a god of war.

This was simply somewhat unreasonable.

"This kid is strange!"

Yu Zhangyuan and the others looked at each other, their faces full of solemnity.

On the side battlefield, Jiang Chen's complexion was incomparably pale, and the blood essence in his body was also about to be exhausted.

Ding Songyang's complexion was also very ugly, and his aura had weakened a lot.

Facing a desperate bloody battle with a Tuotai expert, he was also reaching his limit.

The numerous government martial artists on the city wall saw that the two experts had actually blocked the siege of many heretic cult Protectors, and their momentum also gradually rose.

They firmly blocked a group of heretic cultists outside the city.

They had the belief in their hearts to hold this city.

"Retreat."

Just at this moment, Yu Zhangyuan and the four others slashed fiercely toward Lu Zhangsheng's body-protecting Gang Qi.

A force of counter-shock arrived, and borrowing this force, several people actually retreated rapidly toward the rear.

In a few breaths, they disappeared from the battlefield.

Seeing that they could not defeat Lu Zhangsheng, the four people actually retreated without any hesitation.

Countless heretic cultists also retreated like a tide, leaving only some corpses on the field.

Ding Songyang saw this and also immediately operated his movement technique to retreat.

With a few flashes, he disappeared from the open ground.

"Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories."

The numerous martial artists on the city wall saw the heretic cult experts retreat and could not help but cheer excitedly.

Everyone clenched their fists, their eyes shining with luster.

All of them had luckily survived.

Everyone looked toward Lu Zhangsheng and the other outside the city, their faces full of awe.

If it were not for these two experts, the city would likely have been washed in blood.

At this time, Jiang Chen suddenly sat cross-legged, his complexion incomparably pale.

He was already exhausted, relying on a belief to support himself until now.

"To be able to fight side by side with Brother Ye today, I have no regrets even in death."

Jiang Chen laughed heartily.

As a Tuotai expert, being able to die in battle was also a great honor; at least it was better than dying of old age.

The numerous people on the city wall saw this and were also filled with sorrow; Changping County would once again have one less Tuotai expert.

These people were the backbone supporting the entire human race.

"Brother Jiang, wait for me a moment."

Lu Zhangsheng's tone was very calm.

Then he turned around and rushed rapidly toward the forest in front, like lightning.

With a few flashes, he disappeared from the open ground.

Jiang Chen saw this and was filled with astonishment; he also guessed the opponent's intention, and his eyes shone with a hint of expectation.

Lu Zhangsheng operated the Stepping on Snow Without a Trace, traveling wantonly amidst the vast world.

Green leaves on both sides brushed against his clothes, emitting a rustling sound.

He pursued all the way along the direction in which Ding Songyang and the others had left.

Before long, he saw the backs of Ding Songyang and the others.

Feeling the terrifying aura behind him, Ding Songyang was filled with fear.

Endless coldness surged from deep within his body.

He was already injured, and his speed was even a notch slower.

"Protector Yu, save me!"

Ding Songyang shouted loudly for help toward the several people in front, his eyes full of despair.

Yu Zhangyuan and the others saw this, and their speed actually increased again, rushing toward the front.

It was clear that several people had abandoned Ding Songyang.

The four people's Demon Blood Essence had been consumed quite a bit, and facing this "freak" behind them, they had no way out.

If they continued to fight, it would likely be difficult to end well.

"Bastard."

Ding Songyang cursed fiercely, his heart incomparably resentful.

He also saw the attitude of several people abandoning him without hesitation.

At this time, Lu Zhangsheng quickly caught up, and when he approached Ding Songyang's back, he slashed out with his blade.

The bright blade light flickered in the void, emitting bursts of roaring sounds.

Ding Songyang hurriedly turned around to make a move to resist, his eyes filled with incomparable fear.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Lu Zhangsheng directly deflected the opponent's weapon, and then, in the opponent's gaze full of unwillingness, the blade light instantly sliced through this person's neck.

"Clatter..."

A large head soared into the sky, and a large amount of fresh blood gushed out.

One blade, Ding Songyang was beheaded.

Because of the huge consumption, the opponent was no longer in his peak state and could not even block one of his blades.

Subsequently, Lu Zhangsheng picked up the head on the ground that had not closed its eyes and turned around, walking with large strides toward the rear.

City gate.

Jiang Chen looked quietly at the dense forest in front, his heart as still as water.

At this time, a white-robed figure walked slowly out of the forest, holding a bloody head in his hand, which was very creepy.

Jiang Chen suddenly grinned.

"Haha... Ding Songyang, I didn't expect that despite all your calculations, you would still be one step ahead of me..."

After a few breaths, his laughter stopped abruptly, and his breathing also gradually weakened until it disappeared.

A generation of Tuotai experts had fallen just like that.

Lu Zhangsheng walked quietly to Jiang Chen's side and placed the head on the ground.

Subsequently, he took out a wine gourd and poured some spirit wine onto the ground.

"Brother Jiang, go well on your journey."

His tone was very low; for this person, he also held a hint of respect in his heart.

"Senior Jiang, go well on your journey."

A group of martial artists all around bowed one after another, their faces solemn.

Without the opponent's desperate bloody battle, most of the people on the field would likely have fallen.
