With a roar, Jili Zhigu swung his giant sword in wide, sweeping motions, joining the golden-bodied Arhat Hengyuan.
Behind him, the cavalry of the Qingyan tribe had already charged to the foot of the city wall.
They held their scimitars in their mouths, each taking out two dagger-like spikes, and began chipping at the city wall, swarming up like ants.
Barbarian cavalry are no ordinary people; they can scale city walls without any defensive equipment.
The soldiers on the city wall carried prepared logs, boulders, and arrows, launching a high-ground attack to hinder the barbarian siege.
On the other side, the crimson giant python shot out beams of golden light from its single eye, impacting the city wall's magic array and causing the wall to continuously crack.
In the heat of battle, a figure in white stepped out from the void.
Then, the white, majestic dragon image crashed to the ground.
Faxiang raised the national treasure sword, magnified dozens of times, and slashed at Zhujiu's vital point!
"Keng!"
Scales flew everywhere, and the giant python let out a scream!
The bloody wound healed instantly!
"Giggle!"
"Marquis Jingning of the Great Feng Dynasty, I never expected to meet you here."
A fleeting figure seemed to descend from the heavens to the mortal realm; she was beautiful, but her allure was even more captivating.
The wind caressed her beautiful hair and lifted her dress, making her look ethereal.
Like a fairy from the heavens, she stepped into the mortal world step by step.
The thought that such a stunningly beautiful woman existed in the world arose in the minds of all the men.
A fairy in flowing white robes descended from the sky, her voice sweet and soft, alluring, like a lover whispering in your ear.
Li Chang'an looked at the nine-tailed fox, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Nine-Tails, did you miss me?"
The nine-tailed fox's expression changed drastically. Although she quickly concealed it, she was deeply shaken.
Night Princess is a fragment of her soul; she can see Night Princess's memories.
This does not mean that she can sense Yoruhime's emotions.
But how did Li Chang'an find out?
I must be overthinking it.
"As expected, Marquis Jingning is a womanizer. His behavior towards my lord on our first meeting is so presumptuous. Isn't that inappropriate?"
The nine-tailed fox was stunningly beautiful, like a celestial fairy, with beauty beyond compare.
"It seems that Marquis Jingning has won this internal power struggle in the Great Feng Dynasty."
"I wonder if Marquis Jingning and that monk have any chance of stopping the combined forces of three top-tier individuals."
"The Marquis of Jingning is a man of great talent and appearance. I really want to capture him and take him back."
The battle raged on, with cannons roaring, but the Nine-Tailed Fox seemed oblivious to everyone around her, appearing quite confident.
Just then, a clear shout came from behind.
"You slut! Your coquettish manner is nauseating!"
The nine-tailed fox suddenly turned around and saw a beautiful Taoist nun wearing a Taoist robe with a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows walking out of thin air.
The Taoist nun held a rusty iron sword in her hand.
Anger surged between his brows, as if he loathed the nine-tailed fox to the extreme.
The nine-tailed fox, who had been so confident just moments before, instantly turned pale and lost her composure!
"You, you are the Grand Preceptor of the Great Feng Dynasty... the Head of the Human Sect!"
"Your eyes aren't blind yet." Luo Yuheng's voice was icy with anger.
"I'm a fox demon... no, what are you doing here!" the nine-tailed fox demon scolded.
Luo Yuheng glanced at Li Chang'an and said, "Someone said they want to capture you and keep you as a pet."
The nine-tailed fox's stunningly beautiful face was instantly filled with fear.
Because she knew that if Luo Yuheng made a move, it wouldn't be impossible for him to capture her.
Neither Xu Pingfeng nor the Nine-Tailed Fox could have imagined that Luo Yuheng would appear in Chuzhou.
How could the head of the Taoist sect, who was devoted to cultivating the Tao, get involved in such worldly affairs!
Has the internal strife in the Great Feng Dynasty just ended?
Li Chang'an's side suffered no losses whatsoever.
While she was in a state of confusion, Luo Yuheng's sword energy had already arrived before her.
Without a second thought, she darted away, attempting to escape.
"You wretch! Stop right there!"
The nine-tailed fox looked back and saw Luo Yuheng using a mysterious escape technique, closely following behind her.
"Oh!" she suddenly exclaimed.
Because just as she turned around, she bumped directly into someone's arms.
She looked up and saw Li Chang'an looking at her with a half-smile.
The nine-tailed fox was terrified; the speed of a third-rank cultivator had actually surpassed that of a second-rank cultivator!
"Fu Xiang is gone, so you stay."
Chapter 372 Slaying Zhu Jiu! The Demon Barbarians are Settled! The Northern Border is Secured!
Although Chuzhou is located on the border between Dafeng and Yaoman, it has not fought a major war for a long time.
The reason is simple: the two sides are evenly matched.
The barbarian and demon races are allies, with two members holding the third rank: Jili Zhigu and Zhujiu.
Although the Northern Border of the Great Feng Dynasty only has the Prince of Zhenbei, who is of the third rank, he has the advantage of home ground, with city-protecting formations and heavy-duty destructive magic weapons.
The Imperial Observatory's protective formations and lethal magical weapons were incredibly powerful, giving them a significant advantage in terrain.
Moreover, the Prince of Zhenbei would certainly not defend Chuzhou City to the death; Jili Zhigu and Zhujiu could not stop a third-rank official who only wanted to escape.
If they fail to kill the Prince of Zhenbei, they will only invite backlash from the Great Feng. They are even more afraid that Wei Yuan will once again lead his army north.
Therefore, there were occasional conflicts between the two sides, but no large-scale battles like this.
North of the city.
The nine-tailed fox was stopped by Li Chang'an, and Luo Yuheng immediately followed behind.
An iron sword emitted countless sword lights, and the nine-tailed fox was not to be outdone. With a twist of its waist, its nine gray tails spread for miles.
The war between the two women is about to escalate into a full-blown conflict.
A flash of lightning seemed to strike Li Chang'an's mind; this was a warning sign of danger for a martial artist.
From somewhere behind them, a blinding black light shot out, obscuring the sky and the sun. The soldiers struck by the light instantly lost their senses.
The men on the city wall, relying on their martial instincts, dodged the dark light, but they were all still shaken.
If a fourth-rank Golden Gong is bewitched, a single move could kill thousands of friendly soldiers.
"It's a demonic serpent!"
"Zhu Jiu! A descendant of gods and demons!"
"This is its innate supernatural power!"
The bewitched soldiers of the Great Feng Dynasty lost their minds and began to kill each other.
Just then, Li Chang'an's calm and authoritative voice rang in the ears of these soldiers.
"A wise man...sees things clearly!"
The power of the rule, where words become law, spread instantly.
The thousands of soldiers were instantly alerted and their minds became clear.
"Thank you, Marquis Jingning!"
"The Marquis of Jingning is a sage general of divine might!"
"Great Feng will surely prevail!"
The dark light shot out again, and in an instant, it was already close to Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an stepped out using the "Xing" character secret technique, and his figure entered the void.
When it reappeared, it was already at the source of the dark light.
At this moment, the vertical eye on the forehead of the hundred-zhang-tall Zhujiu lit up.
