C61 Surround and kill, all officers
The battlefield was like a giant meat grinder, it was unknown when it would become the raw material for this meat grinder.
At this moment, the evil ghost's mind was in a complete transformation. He was originally disdainful of the arrow formation, but now he was in extreme agony. The situation now was that the Ghost Shadow Killers were suppressed to the point that they didn't dare raise their heads, and he himself was forced to retreat far away, not daring to take a step forward.
In comparison, Chou Xiaotian, who was watching the battle from afar, sighed even more bitterly. He was troubled by the fact that his entire plan had been thrown into chaos and he had no choice but to continue on.
Chou Xiaotian's attainment in archery could already be considered to be at the pinnacle, but with his ability, even though he could see the use of this arrow formation, but he was unable to break it. Unless the opponent's crossbow was missing or the crossbow was damaged, he shouldn't be able to take a step forward, and he was also unable to provide long range support.
Just as Chou Xiaotian was thinking about how to deal with this, the crossbow wielder at the back of the row put down his crossbow and began to throw something. He did not know what it was, but the other party kept throwing things at him.
The object flew in a beautiful parabola and landed next to a group of Phantom Shadow assassins who couldn't get up. Then there was a loud bang.
"It's firecrackers!" someone shouted.
However, along with the crackling sounds of the firecrackers, a cloud of white dust started diffusing.
"Poison powder!" "Be careful!" another voice shouted.
However, no one fell. Their bodies were covered in a large amount of powder and there were no signs of poisoning.
"No, it's not poison powder. If they were to poison it at such a close distance, they would have been in for a beating as well. Don't get up, be careful of the crossbow arrows! " Some smart people immediately analyzed and shouted.
Assassins who were worried about the poison earlier were shot by crossbow bolts the moment they got up to escape. The assassins fell to the ground again. When they raised their heads to look at Situ Family's side, they discovered something strange. The other party had actually smeared water and mud on their face and exposed skin, what was going on? What are they doing?
In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the answer had already come flying over. That's right, it was flying, because those poison powders were actually not poison powders, but a kind of 'luring butterfly powder' medicine, just like gathering all the bees, wasps, and wasps within a ten mile radius together for a party. Of course, their target was those with the smell of the poison powder on their bodies.
"Oh my god, it's a man-devouring bee! How could there be such a wasp in such a mountain!" Now, regardless of whether there were crossbow bolts or not, when they saw the swarming bee army and that the front line of the army was actually the fearsome Devouring Bees, the assassins felt a chill run down their spines and they couldn't help but feel terrified.
The Devouring Bees were a relatively gentle type of bee, but once they were provoked, it would become a tragedy. This kind of bee could instantly suck out everything from the other party, and those who were attacked would only have skin and bones left, which was commonly known as' skin and bones'.
"I also didn't expect to attract such a wasp. You said that such a beautiful environment was hiding such killing intent." Murong Fenghuang said.
"The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is. This is inevitable." Situ Qingtian was also shocked, his own wife sure knew how to play in this situation.
"Then are you saying I'm not beautiful or dangerous?" Murong Fenghuang looked at her husband playfully.
"..." Situ Qingtian was speechless, his answer was wrong, he could only blame himself for being stupid.
Quick, use Fire Attack! Fire the rockets! " Chou Xiaotian's face was also filled with fear. Right now, his plan was not a tiny bit off, and he had completely misjudged the other party.
There were two options in front of him. One was to erase his neck right now and the other was to die a hundred times. The second option was to risk his life to achieve the goal of the mission so that the person behind the scenes could let him go.
"Let the Sword Spirit's men attack. We must charge in." Chou Xiaotian immediately made a decision. The battlefield had changed tremendously in the blink of an eye, not allowing himself to hesitate at all.
Very quickly, True Tai Sword received the order and brought hundreds of Sword Soul Killers to attack.
However, accidents were everywhere. Perhaps it couldn't be called accidents, but rather tactics and schemes.
When the True Tai Sword rushed over with his people, dozens of what should have been huge luggage instantly exploded, and many warriors came out from within. Looking carefully, Chou Xiaotian was once again speechless at the scene, because these were all the mysterious powers of the Situ Family that the Elder Zhao and the Elder Zhao had brought along.
When did they come back, and when did they reunite with Situ Qingtian? Why didn't he know that the spy he sent was constantly paying attention to their every move? Chou Xiaotian felt that not only did he make a mistake in his decision-making, he even deviated from the intelligence report to a complete mess.
In fact, he did not know that those spies of his had been discovered by the Elder Zhao who had returned a long time ago. The unconscious spy, thinking that he had fallen asleep, did not dare to confess to the leader. Seeing that he was still fine, he did as he was told, ignoring the small detail of him falling asleep.
In any case, whether it was a mistake in the decision or a biased intelligence report, the arrow had already left the bowstring, so it was impossible to stop him. "I have to kill him, I have to." Chou Xiaotian secretly thought.
After all, there were still a lot of people from Sword Soul, although their power was not as strong as the Situ Family's mysterious power, they could barely maintain the stalemate. However, as the fight continued, in addition to the Ghost Shadow assassins continuing to reinforce them, the form of the attack was not as effective on the Situ Family's side, and there were already some ordinary guards who had lost their lives, and the trend was gradually increasing, of course, the number of casualties on the side of the killers was also very heavy, because the killers could only attack and not defend, they could even take out the power of mutual destruction with the enemies.
The circle of guards around Situ Family was still shrinking. On the ground, countless people had died, and the majority of the people had died, with very few being injured.
"Madam, I'm afraid we can't hold on any longer. If you don't let the guards escort you and Fei'er away first, I'll cut off the rear." Situ Qingtian righteously said. At this point of time, even his own wife and children could not protect him, and he was acting as if he was a man from the Situ Family.
"My husband, please be at ease. It is not yet time. Look! " As he spoke, Murong Fenghuang pointed towards the distant sand field.
"Someone from the Murong Family?" Due to the distance, Situ Qingtian could not see who it was, but seeing that his wife was calm as usual, he made a bold guess.
"That's right, it's the Murong Family. Before we met Little Sister Fei, I had already sent out two letters in secret: one was to ask the Great Clan Elder of the Situ Family to send experts to support me, and the other was to deliver it to my father so that he could send his clan's experts to welcome him. Yesterday, I received information from the leader of the Murong Family, which was why I decided to reveal my skills to him. Otherwise, I would have stayed in New Willow Town for another two days. " Murong Fenghuang finally revealed her entire plan, which made the quiet Zhuge Feier to be endlessly impressed. Her father had mentioned before that in terms of control over the overall situation, she was still slightly inferior to her sister.
"So that's how it is. As expected of the lady. The good show is yet to come!" But looking at human capabilities, I guess they should be the three major assassin's guilds working together! This is very rare, although the martial arts world calls them 'Ghost Worry', but they have never teamed up on a mission before. It seems like the people behind this are not only rich and powerful, but also think highly of us. " Since he was not at a disadvantage, Situ Qingtian had restored his refined demeanor as he analyzed the other party's identity and background.
"Not bad, you really think too highly of us, the two of us, but this also lets me know that their ambitions do not only extend to Situ Family!" Murong Fenghuang's eyes condensed as she added with a serious expression.
Regardless of what the Situ couple's results were, the fierce battle outside was abnormally intense.
Assassins worked for different organizations, and the style of the assassins varied greatly.
Ghost Shadow's killers were mostly in groups of twos and threes, or fighting or fighting, since no one planned to face them head on and had a variety of killing methods. Daggers, machetes, longswords, even hammers, were just a pot of stew, and each of them had their own abilities, but their style could only be described as one word 'Ghost'. The one who wielded the sledgehammer was actually a concealed weapon, while the one who used the machete was a poison master. However, this arrangement was too much for Gongsun Zaitian to take in. It was too right for him to talk to his best friend. It also gave him the feeling of wanting to have a good talk with the leader of the organization.
The assassins of Sword Soul almost became interesting, they said that they were killers, and it was only killing that fit the characteristics of an assassin. From Gongsun Ztian's point of view, they should be called bumpkins, and each one of them disliked the other. They were almost on the same level as Dongfang Wenbai. However, they had to admit that their abilities were still quite good. There was a certain degree of coordination between sword moves, and there was proof of their progress. If they were to fight one-on-one in the martial arts world, they would certainly be considered a first-rate expert.
However, from Gongsun Zaitian's observation, other than the evil ghost and the True Tai Sword who barely touched the level of Innate, the rest of them were all at the Pre-Sky Realm.
Although the entire Honglong Continent was rich and talented, and had many talented people, that was still an expert that was groomed by a large clan of a large sect. Basically, reaching the Innate Realm at the age of thirty was already one in ten thousand aptitude and talent. Of course, there's no need to bother with Gongsun Ztian, he's just a freak and can't be counted according to common sense. We continue to say, illusions and martial skills are different, maybe five out of a hundred martial artists can reach the Innate Realm.
Because the power and utility of illusion techniques were much more important than warriors, and they could be compared in terms of numbers, the illusionist could even be called an existence of a 'endangered species'. Therefore, from the Empire's royal family, to the big families and gangs, they would all try their best to discover people who were especially talented in this area, spending a huge amount of money to nurture them, and make them serve for the rest of their lives. This also caused the entire continent to experience a strange phenomenon. As long as one was a illusionist, even if one was at the level of an elementary illusionist, they would still receive respect and preferential treatment. Even a low level illusionist could command or command warriors of Innate Level and above.
Above Honglong Continent, because it was hard to become a warrior, there were many who could learn martial skills. On the other hand, there were very few who could practice illusions, and there were only a handful of people who could truly reach the top in illusions.
Of course, in the high level academies of the various empires, there were also courses related to illusions. However, in the tens of thousands of academies, there were probably only a few dozen people who signed up to learn illusions, and if these dozens of people were able to enter into the Xiantian realm, they would be at least at the level of a fifth level Demon illusionist. It was even harder than the blue sky.
