Chapter 435 Cooperation is Required
In a fit of rage, the Emperor of Hezhou City was about to slaughter 100,000 soldiers. This time, if he wanted to, perhaps…
Upon realizing this, all the ministers were shocked. Even the Heavenly Emperor couldn't help but change his expression several times before finally giving the order to leave the city and meet the enemy!
"Your Majesty, we swear to live and die with the imperial city!"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to be the vanguard and shatter the Northern Emperor's arrogance!"
"I am also willing to be the vanguard, leading 50,000 troops out to break through his thunderous battle formation!"
The generals of Tiansheng volunteered to step forward and request to fight.
Emperor Tian Sheng looked down at the situation below with a very grim expression and a heavy heart. Behind him, he could faintly hear shouts of battle. Now he was beset by internal and external troubles. What should he do?
After hesitating for a moment, I finally decided to give it a shot.
"Guards, prepare my horses! I'm going to lead the army myself! I'll have a showdown with this Northern Emperor and see what he's made of!"
The bugle call to charge sounded, the drums beat rapidly, and the horses' hooves thundered like lightning.
The tightly closed city gates had been opened, and the soldiers of Tian Sheng surged out like a raging wave. The deafening roar of thunderbolts filled the air, and in the blink of an eye, the two sides were already locked in a fierce battle.
Shouts of battle pierced the night, and under the bright moonlight, a tragic and epic battle began.
"Kill!"
"Long live! Long live!"
Amidst the neighing of horses and the flickering firelight, a flash of sword light brought forth countless magnificent red streaks, and the spilled blood light was thrown into the desolate night sky. Countless figures fell down like wheat harvested in autumn.
"Your Majesty, the royal guards are all ready and await Your Majesty's command to begin the battle!"
At the city gate, the captain of the assassins reported to Emperor Tian Sheng, who was already seated on his horse.
"The Royal Five Hundred Death Warriors, each of you possesses extraordinary skills. You have been trained for a thousand days to be used in this one battle. Your mission is singular: to kill Emperor Beizun and Sikong Jin with all your might and take their heads! Even if I lose this battle today, I will make sure that Emperor Beizun and Sikong Jin leave their lives here!"
Emperor Tian Sheng, filled with righteous indignation, shouted coldly.
"Yes! Long live the Emperor!"
"Warriors of Tiansheng, follow me and fight our way out! We swear to defend my Tiansheng Imperial City to the death!"
"Charge! We swear to defend the imperial city to the death! We swear to defend the imperial city to the death!"
Shouts soared into the sky, and the urgent drumbeats of the charge resounded. Emperor Tian Sheng drew his sword from his waist and pointed it into the air, roaring, "Charge!"
At a single command, the large force charged out like madmen. Hundreds of black-clad assassins, with the iron cavalry clearing the way, charged directly towards the central army of the Northern Emperor's army. Their ferocity and unpredictable movements were astonishing!
Is this your trump card?
Di Beizun slightly reined in his horse, gripped the whip tightly, and looked at the hundreds of reckless warriors charging towards his central army. Their movements were clearly in formation!
It was like a black pool that could flow at will, unpredictable and elusive. The soldiers around it had no way to reach it, and only Emperor Beizun's guards could barely put up a fight.
"Back off!"
Di Beizun spoke coldly.
"Your Majesty, these black-clad assassins are after you and Lord Sikong!"
Su Yu immediately saw through their intentions and directly approached them, his target being quite obvious.
Lord Sikong slightly stroked his chin, squinting at the cold and eerie man in black before him. A faint, sinister light flickered in his starry eyes, and a cold smile played on his lips.
Is it another formation?
She had suffered many losses due to formations before. Last time at the Immortal Sound Pavilion and in the Jiangxi Plain, those cunning assassins sent by Tuoba Kang all used formations. That's why she was determined to study formations properly, especially since she had explored them with Emperor Beizun. Now, seeing this strange formation, although she felt it was strange, she wouldn't be as clueless and helpless as before, only able to fight blindly!
"Get out of my way!"
Emperor Beizun uttered another sentence indifferently, his tone carrying an unyielding kingly air. The soldiers dared not disobey and retreated to both sides, making way for Emperor Beizun.
At this moment, hundreds of men in black also stopped, gripping their sharp knives tightly and quickly forming a formation. Hundreds of cold blades swayed and flickered in the swaying firelight, looking exceptionally cold and aloof. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were fixed on Di Beizun and Sikong Jin on horseback.
Sikong Jin touched her nose with some confusion, turned to look at Di Beizun beside her, and saw a slight chill appear on his noble face. After thinking for a moment, she asked calmly, "Does Your Majesty know what kind of formation this is? Why does it look so strange and unpredictable..."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Beizun raised his cold, handsome eyebrows, and his thin, pale lips parted slightly, letting out a cold laugh that reached Sikong Jin's ears. "The Soul-Devouring Dragon Formation! To be able to use this move against me, Heavenly Saint Emperor, I truly cannot underestimate you!"
"Soul-Devouring Dragon Formation?"
Sikong Jin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, looking at Di Beizun with some surprise. "Old man, you really think highly of me! Wasn't this formation supposed to be lost? How do they know about it?"
"Without some trump cards, he wouldn't be able to support such a Tian Sheng Dynasty. Their Tian Sheng Dynasty's foundation is much deeper than your Dayong Dynasty's, so it's not surprising that they have such a formation."
Di Beizun spoke calmly, his tone showing no sign of tension, as composed as ever.
Sikong Jin still doesn't know just how heaven-defying this guy's skill level is. He's fought all the way without ever seeing him catch his breath, and every time they fight, he's completely under Sikong Jin's control.
After thinking for a moment, Sikong Jin suddenly probed, "Your Majesty, can you take care of them all by yourself within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn? I'd like to broaden my horizons and admire Your Majesty's unparalleled and unfathomable martial arts!"
"Breaking this formation requires the perfect coordination of two people, like swords and spears working in unison. Ah Jin, would you like to know how well you and I work together?"
Di Beizun narrowed his eyes at the formation of the men in black in front of him, a perfect smile curving his lips. He glanced at Sikong Jin, the glint in his eyes clearly conveying his meaning!
Sikong Jin coughed lightly, glanced ahead, and saw that the black-clad man was none other than the Heavenly Saint Emperor and other Heavenly Saint ministers who were watching the battle. She shrugged, reached her slender hand into her sleeve, and in an instant, she had already grabbed Yue Po in her hand.
"Why not? I also want to see just how skilled Your Majesty really is."
