ghost city

Sima Shang did not break through the three lines of defense, but was surrounded layer by layer by the city guards, and the five thousand cavalry also lost a thousand under the attack of the city guards.

He has already sent out the signal, Wang Liao should have left to help.

After all, Youwang City does not need a battlefield outside the wilderness. More than [-] troops have blocked all the roads and corridors.

Sima Shang was holding the Tiger Talisman for Dispatching Troops, and his hands were already soaking in cold sweat: these soldiers didn't know that Han Cang's Tiger Talisman for dispatching troops was fake, and they kept attacking blindly.He has to wait for Wu Man to come here before he can expose it.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Wu Man riding his horse over outside the surrounded soldiers.Under his signal, the city guards made way for him to approach.

"General Sima," Wu Man called to him on horseback. There were still several heavy soldiers between the two, "Why bother to resist? If you are willing to surrender, I will not only spare your life, but also entrust you with a heavy responsibility. What's the point of killing each other?"

Sima Shang looked at him coldly, and he had already seen through his intentions: Wu Man wanted to subdue the elite soldiers under Wei Ling's tent without bloodshed.As for himself, even if he surrendered, how could he let go?It must be eliminated and then quickly.

"Ding".Sima Shang put away his long sword, bowed his hands to Wu Man, and said, "General Wu, I know you are the commander-in-chief of the city guard army, but why did you have the right to transfer troops? Could it be that the master of the inner palace lent you the tiger talisman? Can I take a look?"

Wu Man snorted coldly, and slowly took out the Tiger Talisman from his bosom, holding it in his hand, with a look of arrogance on his face.

"Your piece is not real." Sima Shang glanced at it and said calmly,

"I've seen Gongzi Ling's Tiger Talisman. It's made of the same material as the Tiger Talisman of the City Guard Army. They are all made of Kunshan Lingyu. Although yours is a realistic imitation, the color is obviously different."

As soon as this remark came out, the surrounding city guards were in an uproar, and they all looked at Wu Man.

"Nonsense!" Wu Man opened his eyes wide and angrily said, "Do you think I can retreat with a single nonsense?" As he spoke, his hands trembled slightly.The confidence is also lost by three points.

"If it's true or not, you'll know if you try it." Sima Shang said, quickly grabbed the crossbow arrow from the soldier's hand, and shot at the tiger talisman!

The crossbow arrows flew past the tiger talisman, and Wu Man was about to curse, but the tiger talisman in his hand had changed.

"Bah." Hit by the force seeping from the crossbow, the tiger talisman turned into water vapor and disappeared invisible.

"How?" Sima Shang said calmly.

"Fake, fake!" Before Wu Man could open his mouth, the city guards under his command were already in a commotion. They were just forced by Wu Man's coercion and did not want to start a war with Wei Ling's army.This time they clamored and began to retreat slowly.

"General Wu was deceived by Han Cang, and he doesn't know it yet." Sima Shang shook his head with regret.

"Damn it!" Wu Man cursed fiercely, his face flushed red, and his beard twitched, "I was actually deceived by that little thief, let me eradicate dissidents for him!"

"Young master is loyal to Youwang City, and has no intention of becoming an enemy of the general. It is the right way to hope that the general will stop his troops as soon as possible, so as to avoid unnecessary sacrifices." Sima Shang persuaded again.

Wu Man was hesitating, when he suddenly remembered that he had just set fire to the Yinghun Hall, and the city lord and Wei Ling would probably die inside, so Sima Shang would definitely not let it go.

Thinking of this, his heart broke, and he decided to go all out, and make plans after taking down Sima Shang.

"Listen, gentlemen! Wei Ling wanted to rebel against the city and stand on his own. I was ordered by the city lord to capture his henchmen. Unexpectedly, Han Cang gave me a fake soldier talisman because of his ulterior motives. But the city lord's will must not be violated. Now I am about to besieged by rebels in the city. Now, everyone just follow my orders! Go up to me and catch the traitor!" Wu Man roared.

The city guards here have been fighting Sima Shang's team all the time, how did they know that the Yinghun Hall was burned, they heard that it was the order of the city lord, they didn't dare to disobey, and rushed up one after another.

Sima Shang's eyes flickered, and he immediately lined up the infantry phalanx and lined up his spears to meet the enemy.This phalanx was trained by Wei Ling according to Wu Zi's method, which is quite the legacy of Wei Wushu.Every position is waiting for each other with spears. Although there are few soldiers, the large formation is airtight, and the loose city guards have been unable to attack.

Wu Man commanded several rounds of charging, but was blocked by long spears; when he ordered to release arrows, Sima Shang ordered his men to set up a huge shield to prevent airtightness, and the guards in the formation took the opportunity to fire crossbow arrows outwards, damaging the Many city guards.

Wu Man turned around in a hurry, this narrow alleyway, it was impossible to charge with cavalry, instead, Sima Shang's infantry had the advantage, but he suffered a lot of losses.

At this time, the elite soldiers of Wei Wu, who had been lurking in the city guard army, followed Hancang back to the city, also took advantage of the momentum and disrupted Wu Man's army formation.The City Guards hadn't figured out what happened, and they had already been cut to pieces.

Wu Man didn't expect such a change, he wanted to revive the army and fight again, but Sima Shang commanded the soldiers of Wei to attack and kill him, not giving him a moment to breathe.The [-] to [-] city guards retreated steadily under the pressure of the strict policy.Wu Man was in a hurry to do nothing, but one of his subordinates came to report: "General, a group of men and horses have been killed in the Yinghun Palace, and the rear army has been dispersed."

"What?" Wu Man heard the words, as if he was struck by a thunderbolt, he almost fell off his horse, and stepped aside one after another.

Little did he know that at this time, Sima Shang was already leading the phalanx forward to bully him.

************************

Looking at the gradually weakening fire outside the hall, Yun Zhongjun said with a sneer: "Wu Man and other young people want to rebel, and they are really overestimating their capabilities."

Just now when he saw the flames outside the hall, he knew that the city guards had rebelled, so he summoned [-] elite soldiers to quell the rebellion.

The sound of fighting gradually faded away, and the outside of the hall became empty again.The group of elite soldiers just now defeated the city guards for a while, and chased them towards the direction of the Red Thorn Courtyard.

Wei Ling was still lying on the groove in the jade coffin, with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Yun Zhongjun slowly returned to the jade coffin, the formation just now was interrupted only halfway through, but luckily he did not miss a big deal.

One, two, three..., as the fingers moved over Wei Ling's body, a hazy halo gradually formed in mid-air, with a few lights shining inside, exactly corresponding to the position of the pearl on the top wall.

The nine pearls on the top wall correspond exactly to the nine stars in the sky.And the nine light spots in mid-air correspond to the Seven Kingdoms, Great Zhou and King Zhou.

Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han, Qin, and Zhou, the light from their fingertips echoes the pearly light on the top wall, slowly connecting into lines of light, trembling slightly.

He knew that every time a line of light was formed, it would react with a spiritual jade buried in the tombs of the kings of various countries, and the nine-star array gradually formed.

As the light in midair became brighter and brighter, he seemed to be able to feel a stream of strong royal energy coming from a distant place and pouring into Wei Ling's body.

That iron-blooded emperor who looked down on the world will finally come to the end of his life.

Wei Ling still closed his eyes, his body had already become transparent, and he knew that the Nine Obsidian Array had started to work.

One, two, three,..., eight, more and more light in the sky, like stretched strings, connected to the top wall and the jade coffin.

Yun Zhongjun took a deep breath, and pointed to the last light spot in midair, which corresponds to the Kunshan Jade in Wei Ling's body.Once the last ray of light is connected, the Nine Obsidian Array will be completely formed.So nothing can go wrong.

There was no reaction.He broke out in a cold sweat and tried several times, but he couldn't condense that ray of light.

The Kunshan jade should be fused into Wei Ling's soul and used to protect the spirit. This is the last thing that should go wrong.

His fingertips trembled uncontrollably, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. Yun Zhongjun held his breath, and moved towards the light spot again.

Success or failure is here!

The last light spot just trembled for a while and then there was no response, the expected light did not form.

His whole body was cold, and his heart seemed to be frozen with a layer of ice: I have made countless plans, and I have fully considered every aspect, how could I make a mistake?

Could it be the problem of Kunshan jade?

He stretched out his hand and slowly placed it on Wei Ling's chest, sensing the spirit jade in his body.

The body was empty, and the spiritual power released was like a mud cow entering the sea, without any response.

Yun Zhongjun's body gradually stiffened, and his eyes seemed to be clouded with suspicion, as if he was trying to figure out the joints.

Could it be that the Kunshan Jade that was used to protect Wei Ling's body disappeared?How could this be so?I have done all my calculations, but is it still a step behind?

His face turned pale inch by inch, his hands were still on Wei Ling's chest, and his mind was still full of doubts.

"Bang!" At the moment of loss of consciousness, a strong force suddenly hit the chest, and the body flew five feet away in an instant.

Yun Zhongjun slammed into the pillar of the hall, and before he could get up, a deadly ice blade struck his chest, pierced his body, and nailed him to the pillar.

Wei Ling jumped out of the jade coffin and approached step by step with his long sword in hand.He had a cold face, his green eyes were full of murderous intent, his body was cold, and there was no expression on his face, not even sarcasm.

He walked forward step by step, with a bone-piercing chill on his body, and wherever he passed, the air seemed to be frozen and stagnant.

"You! You!" Yun Zhongjun pointed at him tremblingly, a mouthful of blood suddenly gushed out of his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

"You mean, I'm good at acting?" Wei Ling squinted at him, his long and narrow eyes slightly narrowed, with a sharp and delicate cold light in them, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Are you going to abandon that woman and push her into the arms of the enemy?" Yun Zhongjun swallowed a mouthful of blood, and uttered a sentence with difficulty, his eyes showed a dying expression.

The sword just now was too sudden, too vicious, too fierce, and it hit his chest, making it impossible for him to guard against it.Just like Wei Ling's character, steady, accurate, and ruthless, he kills with one move, leaving no room for trouble!

Wei Ling sneered, stabbed the sword mercilessly, and said, "If she feels humiliated, I will kill her."

Such a light word, without the slightest emotion.

"Hehe," Yun Zhongjun swallowed the blood, and smiled fiercely, "I didn't expect that five years later, you would still choose to kill her. But, you have to see if you can get out of here first."

The tip of the sword stopped three inches from his chest, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't advance half a point.A faint cloud of air slowly wrapped around the sword body, and the long sword seemed to be inserted into a swamp, unable to advance or retreat.

"Mystery of Gathering Clouds." Yun Zhongjun said calmly, "My name is not in vain." After finishing speaking, he suddenly pushed hard with both palms, and a cloud suddenly exploded in the air, sending Wei Ling's body flying away. .The long sword also fell to the ground and fell beside him.

Wei Ling struggled to stand up, picked up the Tangxi sword, poured his hands with true energy, and the air instantly turned into five or six water whips, attacking Yun Zhongjun like a long snake.

The cloud around Jun Yunzhong became thicker and thicker, and when the water whip rushed into it, he was stuck and stopped.Wei Ling exerted his strength again, sharp ice blades suddenly emerged from the water's edge, and broke out forward. Although they were entangled in the clouds and mist, two or three of them passed through the layer of mist and submerged into the body of Yun Zhongjun again.

"Hehe," blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and the blue dark clothes were already stained blood red. There was a weird smile on Yun Zhongjun's face, looking extremely ferocious:

"Although I miscalculated on you today, and my life is in danger, I will never let you walk out of this place alive!"
