Chapter 523: Competition_2
"Godfather, high!"
As he spoke, he secretly gave Wang Xi a thumbs up.
"You, learn a bit." The Imperial Censor said softly.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Beside them, Lin Zhonglang sat back down, frowned as he looked at the field; if examined closely, it would be seen that the Imperial Guard Colonel was tense all over, ready to burst out at any moment.
At this time, under the spotlight of countless gazes, in the center of the battlefield, two forces stood apart, one gold and one black.
Above the battlefield, if observed carefully, there was a thin layer of light blue veil covering the entire field, with strong array fluctuations flowing. This battle initiated the array, which isn't rare within the imperial guard. At times, it is part of the guard's drills, aimed at creating a real battleground clash to enhance combat power. When swords have no eyes, in emergencies, one can instantly be transmitted away by breaking the jade talisman.
It was noon, the sun high in the sky, and the air on the battlefield carried a slight heat.
One side's horses neighed, three hundred armored soldiers donned golden armor, divided into three square formations, thirty small flags teams, ten people per group.
They mounted horses, carried bow and arrow tubes on their backs, swords strapped at their waists, held fine steel long spears that glistened coldly, talisman bags on their chests, fully armed, commanding and imposing.
Between the three formations, there were several dozen meters apart, the leaders were the youths of the Three Families,
The youth from the Huangfu family, fierce brows and thin lips, licked his lips, eyes shining, holding a black gold long spear, the tip glittering with silver light; aimed obliquely at the ground, his Heavenly Pass Taoist cultivation was suppressed to Heavenly Pass Tao Seed.
The Meng family's youth wore a white cape, silver armor, a long sword at his waist, looking lazy yet with a sharpness at the corner of his eyes.
The youth from the Gongyang family, resembling a human bear, skin glowing with metallic silver shine, imposing aura, eyes like an eagle's, rotating and flashing fiercely, eager to act. Defeating those Ninth Mountain soldiers wasn't his ultimate goal; if he could seize the opportunity to kill one or two, the reward from the clan would elevate him by a rank.
And opposite, about a mile away, were the three hundred trusted aides brought by Chen Yuan, standing in a forest of black armor, forming a triangular formation, each with three command flags with golden-edged mountain patterns on their backs, rustling, reflected in the sunlight like flowing silver fire.
Also leading were three people, clad in green armor, with Heavenly Pass Tao Seeds cultivation.
"Kill!"
On the battlefield, the Ninth Mountain camp, beneath heavy armored helmets, pairs of the armored soldiers' eyes changed, any anger vanished, replaced by cold ruthlessness, squinting like hunting beasts.
With a loud shout, the three hundred armored soldiers burst forth like arrows, galloping, horse hooves kicking up sand, rumbling with smoke and dust, charging straight at the imperial guard formations.
"Release arrows!"
The imperial guard formation immediately drew bows from their backs, fitted the arrows, with a shake of their hands, the arrows rattled and broke through the air, rushing towards the charging black armor with a swift burst, friction creating sparks.
With immense power, those fine steel iron arrows were like a Split Sky, fiercely whistling.
The Ninth Mountain camp saw mountain-cutting banners shoot up from the armored soldiers' backs, expanding in the wind, forming a trio array, spinning around their horses deftly.
"Ding ding ding"
The iron arrows were swept away by the flag surfaces, bounced off, fired onto the sandy ground, while the mile distance quickly shrunk under the galloping, rumbling vibrated the sand into the air.
The imperial guard formation, the Huangfu family's youth watched the approaching Ninth Mountain Iron Cavalry with a disdainful sneer, the long spear in his hand scraping the ground,
"Let them see the gap between us!"
"Kill!"
He spoke, then with a big palm slapped his horse, the long spear in his hand grinded colorful sparks on the sandstones, then he leaped on his horse, rushing towards the Ninth Mountain Iron Cavalry, simultaneously his red clouded strange horse neighed, continuing to gallop forward.
The other two youths also did the same, slapping their mounts and leaping into the air; one took out an iron chain meteor hammer, the other stepped into the air, the sword at his waist sang, turning into a white light as it was drawn, transforming into a sword energy white ribbon, slashing forward.
Following immediately, the three hundred imperial guards raised their reins and charged, rumbling after them.
Opposite, the Ninth Mountain's three Heavenly Pass Green Armors locked eyes with fierce light like eagle strikes, stepping on their flags to swiftly clash with the Three Families' youths,
The blade that drank demon blood was drenched in bloodlight, with a long sword slash, the blade light crashed through the sky, malice surging.
Six clashed, clang clang, gold and iron meeting like waterfalls, sparks erupting like sudden rain.
Below, rumbling.
One side reflected golden light, filled with golden armor, while the other washed forward with flags, like black clouds pressing on the city.
Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters....
Just at ten meters, in the imperial guard camp, the horses' began to neigh and show restlessness.
The silver flame-like long swords beneath the black armor clouds carried an unresting aura that made the horses uneasy, a kind of bloodline suppression, causing some horses to raise their hooves, nearly overturning their riders.
In this small turmoil, the two forces clashed head-on, like lightning flames.
The golden light and black cloud clashed fiercely in the middle of the battlefield.
In that instant, warhorses neighed, swords and shadows clashed, flags flew wildly, accompanied by figures being thrown off horses.
Cries erupted, screams of pain rang out, creating chaos among the men and horses.
In the chaotic battle, an arm flew out, with fresh blood, still clad in black armor.
On the Soldier Inspection Platform, Colonel Lin pressed his hand on the armrest of his chair, trying to stand up, his expression changing slightly, his body tensed, fearing the situation would spiral out of control once blood was shed.
"Hehe."
"Colonel Lin, why the rush? Blades and swords have no eyes. In such a charge and clash of hundreds, injuries are inevitable. Don't forget which side you're on."
Beside him, the Imperial Censor Wang Xi glanced at him sidelong, coldly sneered and warned him, thinking in his heart, this Colonel Lin is really clueless. When will I have the opportunity to report him and have him kicked out? People like him just get in the way.
As he was thinking this, he suddenly saw outside the arena's array, on the imperial guard's side, flashes of light appeared.
"Bang"
"Bang"
"Bang"
A figure fell out from the light with a muffled thud, astonishingly a member of the Imperial Guard.
They had crushed a Jade Talisman and got teleported out.
The imperial guard comrades hurriedly supported them, somewhat dumbfounded, "You guys..."
Why, as soon as the confrontation began, did so many of our people get eliminated?
Those who chose to concede among the imperial guards turned pale and angry. Some, unable to swallow their pride, couldn't help but curse out loud.
"How can we fight? Those people aren't afraid of death, as if they want to take our lives."
"Laozi doesn't want to trade lives with these mud legs!"
This explanation was pale and powerless.
What was even more powerless was that on the imperial guard's side, the teleportation light kept flashing, and more and more Imperial Guards were being eliminated.
On the Soldier Inspection Platform, the smile on Imperial Censor Wang Xi's lips gradually froze. He suddenly stood up, his foxy eyes fixed tightly on the center of the battlefield.
On the battlefield, the golden armor was rapidly diminishing, one figure after another disappearing, while the black armor swept through the remaining imperial guards like a storm sweeping through fallen leaves.
Just one charge, and the outcome was decided!
In the sky above the field, the disciples of the Three Families watched their forces defeated by one charge, their previously sharp and disdainful eyes now extremely unsightly.
In the center, the disciple of the Huangfu family who initially came out to provoke, looked grim, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
Suddenly, the sealed Elixir Field Acupoints burst open, a much stronger aura surged out.
The long spear in his hand hooked onto the Niu Bing's long knife, sparking, and in the next second, with a fierce expression, his other hand threw out like lightning, a white light shot straight towards the Niu Bing's body.
Amidst the sparking, three Mountain-cutting Banners quickly protected the front of Niu Bing.
"Bang"
"Bang"
"Bang"
The white light pierced through the Mountain-cutting Banners and finally blasted through the left chest of the Niu Bing.
It was a long spear, the Taoist Soldier of the Huangfu family disciple.
Huangfu Qi looked fierce, ready to shake the opponent to death, but it was firmly held.
At this moment,
"Colonel!"
Flags flew in, connecting into one piece.
Niu Bing roared, drew the long knife, and slashed towards the opponent's neck.
A line of blood appeared on the opponent's neck.
