21 -20 Old Soldier_1
“Ding Ding Ding…” The scales flying at him like pear blossom needles in a heavy rain sparkled with a ghostly light, clearly carrying potent poison, covering the sky, enveloping Xiao Chen.
Despite Xie Li’s sudden attack, Xiao Chen remained unperturbed, his Dark Blood Spear danced between his hands.
The dense spear shadows overlapped and intertwined, weaving into a solid net, repelling the lustrous scale shards one after another.
“I underestimated you.
But this was just the appetizing dishes.
This tribe chief is more powerful than you think with just these little tricks.”
Seeing his foolproof attack, finding no success beneath Xiao Chen’s solid defense, Xie Li’s face fell a bit, and he tried to vindicate himself.
Xiao Chen’s spear transformed into a black dragon, moving swiftly between each strike of Xiong Li’s war saber.
Each strike targeted the weak points of the saber with perfect precision, halting his attack.
He sneered, “As expected from some vermin who fear the daylight.
With your sneaky amoral tactics.
Xiong Li, it seems like the help you’ve found ain’t all that good.”
“Scoundrel, you should mind yourself first!” Xiong Li was furious at Xiao Chen’s taunts, but he didn’t lose his pace.
He dashed toward Xiao Chen in the blink of an eye, his saber enveloped with combat Qi and brought forth a strong gust of wind that hacked down mercilessly at Xiao Chen.
Facing Xiong Li’s sudden sword attack, Xiao Chen sidestepped, twisting his Dark Blood Spear.
The spear tip wrapped with green lights, forming high-speed rotating cyclones packed with sharpness, thrusting at Xiong Li.
Bang!
Two gusts of wind clashed in between them, and enormous energy disseminated a wild gale around them.
The enormous blowback force caused Xiao Chen’s body to shudder.
Burst after burst, he steadied his figure quickly.
Whereas Xiong Li stumbled backward more than a dozen steps before regaining his balance.
“How…
How is this possible?”
Seeing his powerful blow being easily intercepted by Xiao Chen, Xiong Li’s voice trembled in disbelief.
Xiao Chen’s combat power had profoundly shocked him.
Everything was hard for him to believe.
He couldn’t imagine how demonic Xiao Chen was.
In just half a month, his strength had made significant progress again.
His strength was no longer the same as before.
Originally, when he had just entered the Blood Refining Realm, Xiao Chen’s combat power was more or less on par with his.
His increased strength now made the outcome even more unpredictable.
Grasping his saber, he relaxed the palm that was numb after the violent vibration, the seriousness in his eyes deepened.
This round of confrontation allowed him to understand Xiao Chen’s strength deeply.
He was at the peak of the Early Blood Refining Realm, and had thoroughly cleared three meridians, just like him.
He thought he had overestimated Xiao Chen’s ability.
However, it turned out that he had underestimated him once again.
The outcome made Xiong Li’s heart clench, becoming more violent.
His eyes were flooded with blood, “This little beast must be eliminated.
He has made such progress in just half a month.
I’m no longer his match.
God knows how much more progress he will make in the future.”
Taking this into account, Xiong Li urgently said to Xie Li, “Chief Xie, this brat is a bit cunning.
I want to join forces with you to kill him as soon as possible to prevent any mishaps.”
At this moment, Xie Li also senses Xiao Chen’s onceness, and his previous contemptuous thoughts are now nowhere to be seen.
Upon Xiong Li’s proposal, he agreed without thinking, and did not hesitate to move towards Xiao Chen.
The energy around the three people exploded once again.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The Guardian Clan Soldiers of the Gu Yuan Clan below them were repeatedly loosing arrows, but the coalition forces of the three races were too huge in number.
Even under the protection of the enormous city defensive crossbows, thousands of enemies broke through the rain of arrows and lunged towards the city wall.
The city walls built from giant blue stones were in jeopardy, and their condition seemed precarious under the joint attack of the crowd.
Bang!
Finally, a section of the city wall couldn’t bear it anymore and was torn open by the coalition forces of the three races.
The scattered enemy forces, like sharks that smelled blood, concentrated and rushed towards the opening of the city wall.
“Follow me, we cannot let the enemies enter the city.
There are still our elderly, weak, women, and children in the city.”
Tie Wen and others who were at the city wall trying their best to prevent the enemies from attacking, leaped down the next moment and ran towards the mouth of the city wall.
Kill!
Shi Yong raised his spear against an abominable-looking centurion from the Scorpion clan.
In such close contact, a fishy aroma spread over.
However, this did not affect his performance.
After being bathed in the medicine provided by Xiao Chen, Shi Yong’s strength improved by leaps and bounds.
Paired with his natural superhuman strength, his power had reached the Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm after the medicinal bath.
A full strength attack caused the Scorpion Clan Centurion in front of him to spurt blood and fly backward, hitting several people behind him.
He laid on the ground, his fate uncertain.
With the aid of this man, Shi Yong eased back, collected his spear, and faced another man.
His actions significantly slowed down the enemy’s assault, giving time for the arriving Guardian Clan Soldiers.
“Shi Yong, we are here.”
Under the leadership of Tie Wen and Huang Liang, hundreds of men clad in beast skins, wielding war sabers and iron spears, joined the battle.
The warriors filled with blood and Qi, their fight for a long time having made them bloodthirsty, and their faces contorted in rage.
With their ruthless blades and wind-breaking spears, after a brutal battle, they finally managed to hold back the enemy outside the city wall, making no further advancement.
While the many people of the Gu Yuan Tribe were resisting the foreign invasion together, an enormous crisis was unfolding in the gathering area for the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled in the center of the tribe.
At a time when countless people were fighting desperately on the front line, hundreds of Scorpion Clan soldiers stealthily entered the tribe through the underground tunnels they had dug.
The tribe’s reserve troops, originally stationed within the tribe, had also been sent to support the frontline due to the intense battle on the city wall.
Even the Grand Elder of the tribe had fearlessly joined the front line, leaving thousands of elderly and children facing a situation with no one to protect them.
“I thought I’d end my life on a bed, but these beasts have sneaked into our Gu Yuan Tribe.
My old brothers, is your noble sword still sharp?
Dare you fight these foreign races with me once again?”
At this critical moment, the elderly Guardian Soldiers with broken bodies were the first to stand out.
Leading them was the elder soldier who had paid his respects to Xiao Chen after punishing the traitor that day, the one missing an arm.
These old soldiers, their bodies damaged and no longer complete, but facing the vicious Scorpion People, even though their vitality was declining and their strength was but a tenth of what it once was, they did not retreat, courageously standing in front of the women and children.
Even if they were old, broken, and exhausted, it couldn’t change a warrior’s mission.
Born as a soldier, died as a war spirit, they defended the tribe outside, protecting the tribe people in danger.
These old soldiers, helping each other, standing straight, faced the gruesome foreign races without fear in their hearts.
With their flesh and blood, they blocked the path of the Scorpion People, constructing an iron-blooded Great Wall.
“Excellent, Old Sergeant, dying without regret fighting the enemy side by side with you once again.”
“The old brothers have been gone too long, I’m missing them.”
“Old brothers, we are old and broken, these youngsters have a bright future, the future of Gu Yuan needs them, we must hold back these monsters.”
“Kill!
We Gu Yuan’s soldiers, even if old and injured, can still kill the foreign race, protect our clan!
Even in death, we will die on the charge!”
After decades of fighting, they had already disregarded life and death.
The only thought in their hearts was that the survival of the tribe was of utmost importance!
“Haha, a bunch of cripples, can’t believe the old and dying aren’t afraid of death and dare to obstruct us.
Trying to obstruct us, you’re overreaching.” With a group of old and feeble soldiers daring to block their way, trying to hold them back, the Scorpion Clan couldn’t help but laugh.
The fight can be imagined as a one-sided massacre.
An inch of land for an inch of blood, these old soldiers with exhausted vitality and broken bodies, were using their bodies to block the advance of the Scorpion People.
The veterans formed groups of three, five in a squad, those without arms bit with their teeth, those who were disabled held on with their hands, even in death, they held on firmly, not letting the enemies advance one step.
Seeing his subordinates being intimidated by this group of fearless old soldiers, the leading Scorpion Clan Centurion was furious, “Useless, are you not going to kill for me, miss out the big picture and I’ll skin you!”.
Being scared by a group of old disabled soldiers, the Scorpion tribe’s soldiers felt some disgrace.
Their eyes gradually became bloodthirsty.
Their attacks became even more tyrannical.
The old soldiers, who were merely surviving on willpower, began to lose ground and to fall one after another.
In a short time, they had lost almost everything.
The leading Scorpion Centurion even severed the arm that was gripping his legs with a swing of his saber.
Even though that arm had already left its owner, it continued to firmly clutch his legs, shaking as he moved.
“Hmph!
A bunch of dying olds, overestimating their abilities.”
Just as the Scorpion Clan soldiers killed off the old soldiers and were about to surround the elderly and children, the leading Scorpion Centurion and several Scorpion Clan leaders around him suddenly stopped in their tracks, their brows exploding with blood.
They fell to the ground without even having a chance to speak, completely devoid of life.
At the critical moment, the reinforcements had arrived!
