Chapter 70 Overpowering Force(1/2)
"Shen Ying, your death date has come!"
The first person to rush into the Shenxing tent was Xu Kun. The Danyang general saw Shenxing sitting in the main seat with his body covered in hair. He glared at the tiger's eyes and stabbed him with the iron spear seized from the rebel soldiers without saying a word.
Shen Xing stood up at the same time when Xu Kun rushed into the tent. Seeing that it was not Sun Jian, he felt relieved in his heart and shouted: "Who Fangxiao actually broke into the tent of this tent? Please rest for a while, wait for this steward to cut off the head of this person first!" As he said that, he pulled out the sword in his hand, kicked the small case in front of him, and faced Xu Kun who was killing him.
If Sun Jian had come in person this time, Shen Xing, who had already seen Sun Jian's power, might have asked for help from the mysterious man. Now that the only one who came here was a strange unknown little man, Shen Xing naturally took the sword himself into battle. In his opinion, if there were some trivial matters, he would have to take action, which would obviously reduce the mysterious man's evaluation and favorable feelings for him in his heart.
Unfortunately, Shen Xing seemed to have expressed his misconception this time. The mysterious man had no intention of helping him from the beginning. Gu Zi held a tea cup to drink tea, as if he didn't take Xu Kun seriously at all. Perhaps in his eyes, Xu Kun could not be a threat to Shen Xing.
Suddenly, the mysterious man's tea-drinking action was paused, and suddenly turned his head and looked at the direction of the tent. At this time, several people rushed into the outside of the tent, and it was Zhang Huang and others of the Black Feather Crow.
"Brother Xu, we will help you!"
Zang Ba and Taishi Ci shouted loudly and immediately joined the battle circle. They fought with Shen Xing in the not-so-spacious tent. As for the current Black Feather Crow, the most powerful one is Zang Ba and Taishi Ci, who are obviously stronger than other brothers. Even if Zhang Huang does not use Taoism, it is difficult for Zhang Ba and Taishi Ci to defeat these two brothers one-on-one. Of course, it is difficult for Zang Ba and Taishi Ci to defeat Zhang Huang. After all, they are brothers, and they are together day and night. Zhang Huang has already been familiar with their "rhythm" in their battle. Once the steps are out, they stand firmly invincible, unless Zang Ba and Taishi Ci can change the "rhythm" of the battle, that is, change their fighting habits.
"Dafu, come, guard the tent!"
Since the space in the commander's tent was not enough to support Zhang Huang and his seven men and Shen Xing's siege, Zhang Huang, who saw Zang Ba and Taishi Ci had come forward to help Xu Kun, could only give up the idea of rushing forward. He asked Shan Fu and Chen Dao to guard the commander's tent. After all, some rebel soldiers outside had noticed the abnormality of the commander's tent.
After ordering Shan Fu and Chen Dao, Zhang Huang inadvertently glanced at the tent. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly because he found that there was actually a person in the tent, a mysterious man wrapped his whole body in a cloak.
[A living person sat there and could not detect the other person's existence at all...]
He was shocked. Zhang Huang subconsciously held the short sword tightly and stared at the mysterious man with alertness. What surprised him was that he could not see through the true appearance under the other party's cloak. It seemed that there was a layer of strange mist covering the other party's face.
[This is...illusion?!]
Zhang Huang narrowed his eyebrows, and he immediately guessed that the reason why the other party could eliminate the sense of existence and made people unable to see their true appearance clearly was an incredible illusion.
[Who is this person?]
Zhang Huang, who was curious in his heart, raised his right hand, raised his index finger and middle finger to cover his eyes, and then quickly wiped it to the right. At the same time, his eyes suddenly opened after closing.
【Sky Eye! Open!】
The mysterious Taoist methods can actually be roughly divided into two types: "mantra" and "science". Among them, those with lethality are generally classified as "mantra", such as the fire mantra mastered by Zhang Huang; those who do not have lethality and play an auxiliary role are called "art", such as escape technique. Of course, this classification is not absolutely correct. After all, there are many Taoist methods that are between the two. What exactly depends on the mood of the person who studies this Taoist method.
However, illusion is indisputable. From the most rude "one leaf obstructs the eyes" to the Taoist magical powers that have only been heard in rumors, illusion has always been a powerful Taoist method that is difficult for non-naturally outstanding people to master. Moreover, even if a person with outstanding talents does not spend a certain amount of time on this aspect, it will be difficult to achieve any results. It is a real three-dimensional method that is difficult to get started, master, and master.
If it is a powerful Taoist method, it would be fine. Unfortunately, the illusion is touched by a large number of Taoist disciples who are not good at learning art, and their status is gradually declining. Even Zhang Huang once gave up learning such Taoist methods because it was difficult to master illusion and did not have lethality.
Of course, Zhang Huang has not learned it, which does not mean that he cannot break it. The reason why he learned the ability of heavenly eyes was to prevent him from encountering a powerful illusion among his fellow Taoists who were not friendly to the Taoist sects when he went down the mountain.
However……
[How is it possible?!]
After using the Heavenly Eyes, Zhang Huang showed an incomprehensible expression on his face, because he found that at this moment, he was exactly the same as what he saw when he had not used the Heavenly Eyes. The mysterious man's face was still covered with thick purple-black mist, as if he was in a deep pool.
The mysterious man kept staring at Zhang Huang, how could he not notice Zhang Huang's actions? Seeing his dull expression on his face, his shoulders trembled slightly, making a faint voice: "Hehehe, hehehehe..."
[I met a thug guy!]
Zhang Huang raised the short sword in his hand and acted alertly. His intuition captured the other party's terror. The stagnation feeling like a heavy mountain made his heart tighten. He instinctively realized that this guy who looked ordinary was far more terrifying than he had imagined. Even if all of them were added up, it was less than one tenth or even one percent of the other party. He couldn't help but compare Sun Jian with the mysterious man in front of him, but the conclusion made by his intuition made him feel cold in his heart.
This mysterious guy is even stronger than Sun Jian!
[What does such a powerful person do in Shen Xing's tent? Wait... Could it be the mastermind behind the rebels' control?]
In an instant, Zhang Huang thought of many things.
In fact, he had always wondered where Xu Sheng got the courage to proclaim himself Emperor Yangming with less than a county, and openly rebelled and completely broke up with the Han court. Now, Zhang Huang had vaguely guessed it. Zhang Huang realized that behind Xu Sheng, there might be an extremely powerful force. He supported him to establish himself as a king and openly became an enemy of the Han court.
[Extremely powerful force... Could it be Taipingdao?]
Thinking of this, Zhang Huang wrinkled slightly, and he suddenly realized that the water on Taiping Road was far deeper than he had imagined.
Zhang Huang fell into deep thought because he was frightened by the mysterious man, while on the other side, Li Tong was scared to death by the mysterious man's sudden laughter. Thinking about it, even Zhang Huang did not notice the existence of the mysterious man when he first entered the tent. How could Li Tong, a guy who knew nothing about the mysterious Taoism, noticed it? He was scared by the mysterious man's series of laughter, almost couldn't even hold the short sword in his hand.
"What are the ghosts laughing at?!" Li Tong, who felt ugly, cursed with a slightly red face and stared at the mysterious man hatefully.
[Since this guy is in the tent of the rebel commander Shen Xing, he must be from the rebels...]
After a change of mind, Li Tong took a few steps to the mysterious man without saying a word, and slashed him hard at the dagger in his hand.
This change caused Zhang Huang's face to suddenly come back to his senses. Of course, he knew that Li Tong was definitely not the opponent of the mysterious man.
"Triple Billion, don't..."
At this moment, something incredible happened. The short sword in Li Tong's hand "slashed" through the mysterious man's body, from his head to his chest and abdomen, but the mysterious man was always sitting steadily in his seat, without any injuries on his body.
"Damn..." Li Tong was confused by this scene. After a while, he raised the dagger in his hand and looked at it. Then he was shocked to find that the dagger in his hand had become "short" at some point, as if it had been cut off by a sharp blade. The cut was extremely smooth.
At this time, Li Tong realized that it was not his dagger passing through the other person's body, but that dagger was a shorter piece. Therefore, it barely brushed through the other person's body, but it seemed to penetrate.
The question is, how could the dagger be inexplicably "short"?
Li Tong scratched his head in shock.
At this time, the mysterious man raised his right hand and exposed a big hand under his wide robe sleeve. He saw that between his index finger and middle finger, he was shocked to be a small "looming" blade at the front of Li Tong's short sword.
"Hehehe, are you looking for this? A life-and-death little devil!"
The sinister and intimidating laughter sounded again, scaring Li Tong so much that he quickly retreated and retreated to Zhang Huang, staring at the mysterious man with a panic look. At this moment, he looked at his exposed arms and felt goose bumps.
It is hard to imagine that Li Tong, who has always been brave, was so scared.
"Who is yours?"
To be honest, Zhang Huang actually wanted to ask if the other party was from Taipingdao, but he didn't dare to ask. After all, the corner of the strength shown by this mysterious man made him deeply afraid. As the saying goes, the more you know, the more dangerous you are. Zhang Huang doesn't want to cause a murder for no reason because of a question.
When asked, Zhang Huang quietly moved forward, protecting Li Tong behind him. At the same time, he pulled out a stack of talisman paper from his right hand in his waist bag. His experience over the past year made him understand some things, such as pure martial artists actually have no good methods for Taoism. For him, although he was not sure, he would at least be more optimistic than Li Tong.
"Hehe, hehehe..."
As Zhang Huang expected, the mysterious cloaked man did not answer, but it was beyond Zhang Huang's surprise that this guy with unknown origin and unknown background stopped paying attention to Zhang Huang and others and drank tea on his own, as if the fight between Zhang Huang and others and Shen Xing had nothing to do with him.
[This guy... doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping us from assassinating Shen Ying?]
Zhang Huang glanced at the mysterious cloaked man in confusion. He did not think that the other party was setting up a suspicion array to reduce their vigilance against him and suddenly attacked. After all, the other party's strong strength was enough to prove that there was no need to do such tricks.
[When we were mixed with the rebels but did not stop us from assassinating Shen Ying... Do we think we were not enough to hurt Shen Ying, or was the life and death of Shen Ying was insignificant to him?]
Zhang Huang was really a little confused, but as far as the current situation was concerned, he had no intention and had no courage to provoke a mysterious strong man with strength and even above Sun Jian. At present, he only hoped to solve Shen Ying as soon as possible.
However, things went against my wishes. Xu Kun, Zang Ba and Taishi Ci, who besieged Shen Xing, have not made any progress so far. Shen Xing, as the commander of the rebels, showed his strength as the commander of the rebels without any dispute. His powerful and rigid body was called Xu Kun and Zang Ba and Taishi Ci had no achievements.
"puff--"
Under the slightly shocked gaze of Zhang Huang and others, Shen Ying, who was besieged by the three people, actually broke through the attack of Xu Kun, Zang Ba and Taishi Ci, and the sharp sword in his hand pierced Xu Kun's right chest.
[What's going on? The rigid body does not work?]
Seeing the astonished expression on Xu Kun's face, Zhang Huang also found it difficult to understand the occurrence of this scene. You must know that the strength Xu Kun has shown just now is obviously higher than Cheng Pu. It is hard to imagine that such a powerful warrior would give up the body protection skill of rigid body and not learn it.
"disease--!"
Before he could think about it, the stack of talisman papers in Zhang Huang's hand that were intended to deal with the mysterious cloaked man turned into a row of neatly arranged vermilion fireballs with pearls shot at Shen Ying's right hand holding the sword.
"Bang bang bang--"
A series of explosions sounded. The fireballs hit Shen Ying's right hand, and suddenly exploded with raging fire, swallowing half of Shen Ying's body.
Perhaps Shen Ying did not expect that among the assassins who came to assassinate him, there was one of them who knew Taoism and was unprepared to be severely injured. He loosened his hand and couldn't hold the sword. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Kun gritted his teeth and jumped back a few steps.
"Brother Xu!" Zhang Huang hurriedly stepped forward to investigate Xu Kun's injuries. Seeing a bright sword piercing Xu Kun's right chest, a familiar sadness and pain suddenly arose in his heart. The feeling was similar to when Lu Min died in battle a few days ago. Perhaps the cheerful Xu Kun had already had a relationship with them. Zhang Huang didn't want this "brother-level" friend who had known each other for a while but had a deep relationship with him.
"It's okay." Perhaps because he noticed the frightened expressions of Zhang Huang and others, Xu Kun gritted his teeth and shook his head, then looked at Shen Ying with a serious expression. He lowered his voice and said, "This Shen Ying is a little evil... ready to withdraw!"
Zhang Huang knew in his heart that they were relying on Xu Kun's martial arts. As long as Xu Kun could kill Shen Xing, they would naturally be able to escape, but now Xu Kun is seriously injured and obviously can't kill Shen Xing. If they don't leave, they really can't leave.
However, Shen Xing did not give them a chance to escape. He repeatedly wiped out the flames on his body. Shen Xing looked at his right hand, which was roasted by the flames, and looked at Zhang Huang in surprise.
The sentence "Strange Art?" reveals the details of the travelers outside Shenxing.
Zhang Huang obviously had no time to explain the names of magic and Taoist Techniques to Shen Xing, and immediately called Shang Zang Ba, Tai Shi Ci and others to escape, but when he looked back at the tent, he smiled bitterly.
I saw that outside the commander's tent, a team of more than 100 people was set up. The leader Zhang Huang was not unfamiliar with him. It was Gong Feng, the rebel general who confronted their Guangling First Army.
[This is bad...]
Looking at the situation of himself and others, Zhang Huang looked at Xu Kun, who was supported by Zang Ba and Taishi Ci. Due to the chest injury, Xu Kun was covered in cold sweat. What was even more invisible was that the sharp sword was still stuck in his chest.
[There is no way to retreat…]
Zhang Huang couldn't help but regret agreeing to Xu Kun's suggestion, but regretting it now would be useless. Who would have thought that even Xu Kun could not defeat Shen Ying's rigid body, this person could use an incredible method to directly break Xu Kun's rigid body? This made the two people, who were not far from their strength, immediately decide the outcome as soon as they fought.
Just as Zhang Huang was anxiously thinking about the way out, Shen Xing took the lead in speaking.
"What's your name?" Shen Ying looked at Zhang Huang with his eyes.
"Zhang Huang!" Zhang Huang replied with a tough forehead, thinking hard at the same time how to kill Shen Xing, the commander of the rebel army. However, Shen Xing's impeccable rigid body made Zhang Huang feel a little desperate. Although Taoism is the best way to deal with warriors, he can't resist the Taoism, which is necessary for the Taoism to be used in his hand at this moment.
Could it be that we really need to use qi and blood as the guide? That is extremely harmful to the root cause!
"Zhang Huang..." Shen Xing nodded and muttered, and suddenly asked unexpectedly, "Are you interested in joining me?"
[Want to recruit me?]
Zhang Huang looked at Shen Xing with a strange expression, and knew in his heart that it must have been his use of Taoism that made Shen Xing want to recruit him. After all, there are not many people in the world who know Taoism. However, Zhang Huang did not think of seeking the rebels who were already in trouble.
Thinking about it, surrendering to the enemy is extremely frustrated. If the rebels who surrender are still a few days of good life, it would be even more stupid. God knows whether Sun Jian will lead his troops to put down the five troops tomorrow after his surrender.
But Zhang Huang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed if he didn't want to leave or not. After all, their situation is not very optimistic at this moment.
To be continued...
