Chapter 348: Breakthrough (2)
When Lu Yi jumped out of a super-giant teleportation array on the edge of Liuhuo City, there were high walls and dense formations beside the teleportation array with a diameter of nearly ten miles, but there were only a few hundred soldiers guarding the surroundings.
Logically, this is against military regulations.
Since we know that the Zhenbei Army is likely to be in trouble, as a mobile formation connecting the Zhenbei Army’s base, we must station at least a million elite troops, and use high walls, formations and other means to guard against it.
There are even more extreme means, which is to set up destructive means to kill both the enemy and the enemy next to the teleportation array. If an enemy really invades the territory of Yan Dynasty through the teleportation array, if the army of Liuhuo City cannot resist, then the entire teleportation array will be blown up directly, destroying it together with the enemy who is using the teleportation array.
The fatal problem is that Jiang Yan was arrested.
The Jiang clan members carried a large amount of money and a large private army and ran to Zhesun Mansion to pay the ransom.
Such a shameful thing.
Not to mention the annihilation of Jiang Yuan's entire army, just look at Jiang Yan's status. He was actually captured alive and the family had to pay to redeem him... If this matter were to leak out, would the Jiang family still be able to live as human beings?
It just so happened that the Emperor of Yan Dynasty was about to abdicate, and all the princes were desperately trying to show off and fight for the throne... If they were not careful, several princes with Jiang blood would fail in their fight for the throne, which would be fine. But if the Jiang family lost some power in the court, that would be no joke.
Therefore, only more than a hundred trusted guards of the Lord of Liuhuo City were left beside the fatal teleportation array of Liuhuo City.
Liuhuo City, as the support point of the Zhenbei Army in the rear, has the important task of providing supplies and replenishing troops to the Zhenbei Army, so the lord of Liuhuo City is naturally a member of the Jiang family.
In order to cooperate with the family's actions and to keep secrets, Liuhuo City Lord Jiang Qing withdrew the troops stationed around the teleportation array.
When Lu Yi rushed out, more than a hundred of the city lord's guards were stunned at the same time. When they saw Lu Yi's big bald head, they fell into some extremely absurd chaos for a moment.
Some of them thought that perhaps there was a problem with the private army of the Jiang family, the private army personally commanded by Jiang Yi.
However, they were unwilling to believe it from the bottom of their hearts.
The place they went to was not the imperial capital of Xuan Dynasty, but Zhesun Mansion of Qingyun Kingdom!
Then, this big bald guy... An experienced guard held the alarm talisman tightly and hid behind a battlement on the high wall next to the teleportation array. He poked out half of his face and shouted loudly: "You monk, who are you? Where is old master Jiang Yi?"
Lu Yi glanced at the guard and was about to speak when a flash of light appeared in the teleportation array. Ling Wuyou, the new emperor of the Xuan Dynasty, rushed out riding on the Snow Wolf King and laughed loudly.
"I, Ma Trample the Yan Dynasty! How mighty!" Ling Wuyou raised the long and thin spear in his hand. The spear was covered with dragon scale-like patterns all over, was snow-white in color, and gave off a terrible chill. He swung it violently around.
Countless blue-green auroras crisscrossed, instantly blocking an area of ten miles in radius.
On the high wall, the guards saw Ling Wuyou's mount clearly. They just wanted to shout "Enemy attack", but the black ice had completely frozen their souls, bodies and all vitality.
The talisman in the experienced guard's hand trembled slightly, and was frozen into a wisp of ice crystal in the terrible cold air and dissipated, never to be released again.
Ling Wuyou laughed wildly, "Hahahaha". He rode on the back of the Snow Wolf King and patted Lu Yi's shoulder from above: "Master Fahai, hahahaha, I am Ling Wuyou, the current emperor of the Xuan Dynasty... Hehe, let's join forces and do something big?"
There was a chilling light in his eyes, and hexagonal ice crystal patterns flashed rapidly in his pupils. Ling Wuyou laughed and said, "When Yan Feixue and the others mentioned you, Master, I knew that the opportunity had come... I, Ling Wuyou, am best at seizing opportunities... Otherwise, how do you think a prince born to a concubine like me could ascend to the throne?"
Grinning at Lu Yu, Ling Wuyou, who seemed to be a chatterbox, said, "Not to mention, my uncle runs a restaurant and likes to mix wine into water to fool customers. If my mother hadn't stolen some imperial porcelain jars and teacups after entering the palace and sold them to second-hand dealers to subsidize her family, his restaurant would have collapsed long ago and the whole family would have starved to death."
Laughing, Ling Wuyou winked at the stunned Lu Yi and said, "With such a background, I was able to sit on the throne. It shows that I have a good talent for seizing opportunities... So, Master, you are my chance. This is absolutely correct!"
Ling Wuyou spoke quickly and hastily. He finished his words in a 'crackling' manner, and then the voice of a soldier from Liuhuo City came from a distance: "The light over there is not right, go and take a look."
"Don't get close... The city lord has issued a strict order. Anyone who approaches the teleportation array without permission will be killed!"
Immediately, the scolding voices of generals and officers were heard.
Ling Wuyou was stunned for a moment, then laughed wantonly again: "God help me, I knew it would be like this, I knew it must be like this... Hehe, Master Fahai, you captured Jiang Yan alive, and the Jiang family will definitely cover up this matter..."
"Hahaha, old man Huo Yu, I have found your vital spot. I'm going to grab it hard, pull it hard, and then... kick you hard. If I can't kill you, I'm going to make you cry out in pain!"
As Ling Wuyou laughed wildly, he swung his halberd, a large flash of cold light appeared, and a jade bowl with an ancient and unique shape flew out.
This jade bowl is three feet in size and is filled with fine silver-white ice.
Ling Wuyou took a deep breath, then exhaled a violent gust of air. Countless extremely fine ice smoothies in the jade bowl flew out with a whistling sound, instantly covering the void within a radius of several miles, and then rapidly spread to the surroundings.
Lu Yi noticed that each of these ice grains was infinitely ingenious. They madly absorbed the water vapor around them, continuously converting it into ice crystals, which then quickly collapsed and condensed into bone-chilling, yet extremely hard ice crystals that madly surged around.
These extremely fine ice sands outlined tiny ice crystal runes in the void, and then countless ice crystal runes continued to fall down and overlapped on the ground, like maggots on the tarsal bones, clinging tightly to the original super-giant teleportation array.
Lu Yi saw that in just a few breaths, the teleportation array, which was only ten miles in diameter, was forcibly expanded to twenty miles in diameter. Thick ice crystals covered the teleportation array, forming a thick barrier.
The soldiers of Liuhuo City finally reacted.
The roar of "enemy attack" was earth-shaking, and various alarm bells and horns sounded one after another.
Rays of fire rushed up to the sky, then exploded all over the clouds. Dazzling balls of flame bloomed in the sky like blooming peonies. These huge fireballs exploding in the sky could be seen from thousands of miles away.
Yan Feixue ran out of the teleportation formation crying and shouting. He saw Ling Wuyou at first sight, then put on an attitude of defending him to the death, and rushed over in a cold light: "Whoever dares... to kill me from my body first..."
Ling Wuyou hit Yan Feixue with his halberd, sending him tumbling and flying: "Get away from me, or I'll turn you into a corpse... We're fighting, why are you causing trouble?"
From all directions, large groups of soldiers from Liuhuo City surrounded them.
The expedition was hasty, and the soldiers near the teleportation formation were completely unprepared...especially because over the years, the Zhenbei Army had been fighting hundreds of thousands of miles to the north, and Liuhuo City had become a complete second-line force. The soldiers' vigilance and adaptability were really lacking.
The soldiers rushed forward, but failed to galvanize the army.
They just came in groups, rushing up in a swarm.
Ice sand fell all over the sky with a clatter. This jade bowl and the ice sand in it were obviously a powerful spiritual treasure. The soldiers in Liuhuo City were immediately invaded by the cold air when they touched the ice sand, or even slid across their skin. In the blink of an eye, they were frozen into ice sculptures.
Only those generals in the Fiery Realm, with flames rolling all over their bodies, were barely able to withstand the bombardment of the ice sand.
Even so, they were forced to stay far away and could not get close, and the ice kept falling. The flames on the bodies of these Yan Dynasty generals were quickly dimmed by the ice, and ice crystals began to appear on their fingers, toes, ears and other parts.
The high-pitched howling of wolves continued.
Teams of Snow Wolf Riders rushed out, taking advantage of the blizzard created by Ling Wuyou, whistling as they blended into the wind and snow, launching a frenzied attack on the Liuhuo City garrison that was in chaos all around them.
Longbows and crossbows were shooting everywhere.
Swords of various colors flew in the air.
There were also giant wolves that spewed out cold light and cold air, freezing large groups of soldiers to the ground crying.
“Kill them, kill them, kill them…” Ling Wuyou waved his halberd and howled at the top of his lungs, like a bandit leader who had just jumped down from the mountain: “Kill them… Don’t be polite to me… Since you are here, there are only a few of you. Are you worthy of the ones I offer to Master Fahai…”
Lu Yi coughed lightly.
Ling Wuyou's expression changed immediately. He smiled at Lu Yi very brightly and bowed to him: "Master... after all, we are friends, right? Thank you, Master, hehe..."
Lu Yu nodded.
A small Vajra Mount Sumeru jumped out from above his head, and then a golden light like the sun covered the area within a radius of hundreds of miles.
In the void, an unstoppable and terrifying force pressed down. This force spared the Snow Wolf Riders of Xuan Dynasty and crushed the soldiers of Liuhuo City with incredible precision.
The sound of Buddhist chants rang out, and large groups of Taoist monks also ran over along the teleportation formation. They quickly formed a formation, connecting themselves with Lu Yi as one. The majestic Buddhist power turned into a golden torrent, which was continuously injected into the Small Vajra Mount Sumeru.
The pressure suddenly soared. Everyone within the range of the golden light, including the City Lord of Liuhuo who was half a step into the Golden Lotus realm, groaned, spat out a mouthful of blood, knelt heavily on the ground with his hands, and could no longer move at all.
The Snow Wolf Riders laughed loudly and rode around slashing and killing wildly.
Wherever they passed, the cold wind howled, the aurora was distorted, and the entire Liuhuo City quickly turned into a world of ice and snow.
