Chapter 247: Being Killed and Rescued
The Longshan army that was originally heading for Han Qiong’s camp was suddenly heading towards him. With three powerful cold-resistant soldiers above him, heading straight for him, how could Xia Hong not react?

In a critical moment, there is no time to think about the reasons.

Clang…clang…clang…

Xia Hong’s clothes fluttered, and his skin membranes tightened. He quickly picked up the long sword in the middle, then retracted the long sword, and swung left and right at lightning speed, colliding with the broadsword and spear respectively.

“So fast!”

The long sword has twelve bristles, the broadsword has eleven bristles, and the spear has ten bristles.

Xia Hong ignored the exclamations from above his head. With a simple collision, he clearly sensed the strength of the three people. Then he suddenly turned around and ran towards the iron gate.

Knock knock knock…Puff…

Thousands of sharp arrows hit his back like raindrops.

This is why Xia Hong ran wildly.

Compared with the arrows shot by the Longyou Army, the three people above his head posed a greater threat. He could only choose to deal with those three first, but the price of dealing with those three was that he had to endure this wave of arrow rain.

From the sound of the iron arrows hitting his back, it can be heard that the first round of arrow rain did not cause much damage to Xia Hong. Only two iron arrows, judging from the sound, seemed to have broken through his flesh.

“Keep shooting! The Longyou Army blocks the door and doesn’t let him escape!”

When Li Xuanling’s cold voice sounded, half of the Longyou army that had entered the valley immediately raised their longbows again and started the second round of archery.

Whoosh…

“Get out of my way!”

The sound of the second round of iron arrows breaking through the air reached Xia Hong’s ears. He was less than twenty meters away from the iron gate. He raised his head and roared angrily, holding his ceremonial sword across his body, and rushed straight towards the Longyou army in front of him.

Only half of the Longyou army had just entered the iron gate, and the other half had been stuck in the iron gate, blocking him at this moment.

Add to that Li Xuanling, Li Xuanyan and Li Xuantian, three others at the cold-resistance level.

Not only that, there is also a fourteen-maned archer on his head!
“This is coming to kill me…”

Listening to the sound of arrow rain behind him, a hint of excitement suddenly rose in Xia Hong’s pupils. Since his strength became stronger and stronger, he basically never faced any life-and-death crisis.

The last time I was in such a difficult situation was when I was dealing with the wooden puppet in the valley.

Looking at the Longyou army that blocked the iron gate, his eyes gradually became bloodthirsty.

“If you don’t leave, then die!”

Strictly speaking, he had no grudges against the camp in Longyou, so even when the Longshan army attacked just now, he did not kill anyone.

But since the other party had the intention to kill first, he would not show mercy.

boom………

Xia Hong did not move his knife. He leaned sideways and charged directly at the front row of the Longyou Army.

Twenty-one bristles equals two million one hundred thousand pounds. The explosive force generated by the collision of such terrifying force is so great that even a small mountain would not be able to withstand it.

However, the Longyou Army blocked it!

The sound was deafening, and the violent impact turned the five or six Longyou soldiers in the front row into meat paste, and at least more than twenty people fell along the way.

The formation of nearly 500 Longyou soldiers around the entire iron gate was slightly disrupted by his impact.

All the soldiers of the Longyou Army looked at Xia Hong with panicked and flustered expressions. It was obvious that they had not expected that he was so powerful.

“Don’t panic, surround him, he’s all alone!”

When Li Xuanling’s voice came, the Longyou Army immediately calmed down a lot. More than 400 people immediately regained their confidence, and soon stood in a circle, holding up the black iron snake spears in their hands, and surrounded Xia Hong directly in the middle.

The other half of the Longyou Army that had just entered the valley also withdrew at this time and joined the Longyou Army that surrounded Xia Hong, eventually forming a thick encirclement with three layers inside and three layers outside, tightly surrounding Xia Hong in the innermost layer.

There were hundreds of spears in the innermost part, and people on the outermost part were still drawing bows and arrows. It was obvious that the people in Longshan wanted to completely wipe out Xia Hong.

Knock knock knock…Puff…Puff…

The Longyou army holding snake spears at close range did not move. The Longyou army on the periphery fired another round of dense rain of arrows. Unlike the previous two times, this time the distance was closer, and more arrows successfully broke through Xia Hong’s membrane.

These Longyou troops were equipped with strong bows with a force of over thirty stones. As the distance was so close, the power was naturally stronger than before.

If someone else had come here, he would probably have been shot into a hedgehog on the spot.

Xia Hong was not at an easy time either. Relying on his strong skin and the rapid swinging of his ceremonial sword, he successfully avoided and blocked most of the iron arrows, but a few of them still successfully pierced his body.

Puff… Puff… Puff…

While Xia Hong was swinging his sword, he deftly pulled out a total of four iron arrows from his shoulders and back. He turned his head to look inside the valley and saw that the defenders of Han Qiong’s base had all withdrawn from the outer valley and entered the inner valley. His eyes were instantly filled with coldness.

Especially when Xia Hong looked at Hou Tong, who was located in the middle of the gourd, from a distance, he understood everything instantly.

Bureau!

From the beginning to the end, this was a game set against yourself!

The cold-resistant class that came from the north during the day must have brought some orders from Hou Hu, so the two cold-resistant classes behind him kept keeping an eye on him. Even the slowness shown by Hou Tong when facing the attack from Longshan just now was most likely deliberate.

“If you want to kill me, it depends on your ability!”

Xia Hong retracted his gaze, ignoring the rain of arrows coming from all directions, and once again swung out his long sword, turning it into a gust of wind and rushing towards the iron gate.

boom………

Just like last time, he could only kill five or six soldiers of the Longyou Army this time. However, the difference was that this time the long sword in his hand also moved.

call out………

The ceremonial sword, which was 1.7 meters long, was like a horizontal sword in Xia Hong’s hand. It not only cut off more than a dozen spears, but also killed more than a dozen Longyou soldiers. Although he failed to break out of the encirclement, he was completely entangled with the Longyou army in front of the iron gate on the west side.

The moment they got entangled, the rain of arrows stopped immediately.

“See how you can shoot arrows. Die!”

Of course, Xia Hong did not intend to get entangled with them. His purpose was to prevent the Longyou army in the back row from shooting arrows so comfortably.

The ceremonial sword flew, drawing out streaks of silver light that appeared and disappeared in the dark night like lightning. Each streak of silver light drew a line of blood. Although it did not kill them, it forcibly opened a large gap on the west side, forcing the surrounding armies to retreat.

The Longyou Army was retreating, but had not completely released the encirclement. They took turns moving forward and sending out people to engage in combat with Xia Hong.

Now, the effect is achieved.

“You dare to interfere in Longyou, Hong Xia? Today is the day you die!”

Li Xuanling’s cold and delicate shout was heard, and a silver sword came straight from behind, aiming at the back of Xia Hong’s neck.

Longshan and Zhaoyang all know about Daxia!

This thought flashed through Xia Hong’s mind. He held the ceremonial sword behind him and at the same time, he kicked the ground with his legs. He turned around and punched Li Xuanling who was approaching with his left hand.

Clang… bang…

Two sounds were heard, one was the sound of the ceremonial sword successfully blocking the long sword, and the other was the sound of Xia Hong’s left fist being hit by the whip and successfully entangled.

Li Xuanling’s body movements were surprisingly fast. When Xia Hong turned around and punched, she suddenly retracted the force in her right hand holding the sword. While her body quickly retreated, she pulled out a whip with her left hand and swung it just at Xia Hong’s left wrist, wrapping it around him with a snap.

“Big brother, third brother, come on!”

Li Xuanling threw away his sword, clenched the whip with both hands and pulled it back violently. Although he failed to pull Xia Hong’s body, he realized that his strength was far less than before. He immediately ordered Li Xuanyan and Li Xuandu to take action.

The broadsword and the spear came from above his head, one chopped down, the other stabbed from the side.

Not only these three people, but also the Longyou soldiers who formed a circle, realized that this was a rare opportunity, and suddenly straightened their spears and stabbed towards the middle.

Hundreds of spears are stabbing at the same time!

Xia Hong’s expression stiffened slightly, a gleam flashed in his left eye, and he suddenly pulled the braid with his left hand, pulling Li Xuanling in front of him directly towards him.

The enormous force of the twenty-one manes had already prevented him from exerting his full strength in the fight just now, but it was not so easy for Li Xuanling, who only had twelve manes, to restrain him.

Li Xuanling’s expression was caught off guard, especially when Xia Hong pulled him in front of him and the distance between them was only one or two meters, his pupils showed a hint of panic.

Just now, in order to control Xia Hong more conveniently with the whip, she threw away the sword.

“Killing me is not that easy!”

Xia Hong showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, raised his ceremonial knife and prepared to put it on Li Xuanling’s neck. During this gap, he could even look up and look around at the Longyou Army and the ordinary troops in Longshan behind him.

Those responsible for encircling and suppressing him were basically the Longyou Army. Obviously, Li Xuanling also knew that apart from the Longyou Army, the more than 1,000 ordinary troops in Longshan would not pose any threat to him, so he just sent that part of the people to watch over the Hanqiong Army that retreated into the valley.

The initiator of this encirclement and suppression against him should be Longshan. Hou Hu most likely just promised not to help either side, so Hou Tong led his men to retreat into the valley.

In this way, the Zhaoyang and Longshan families are still wary of each other.

In a flash, Xia Hong had analyzed a lot of things in his mind. When he was about to look away, his sight suddenly paused for a moment in front of the Longshan army.

“That’s…Takeo?”

The three cold-resistant-level warriors who just rushed into the valley in the first wave were named Wu Xiong, Zhou Yuan, and Meng Ying. Originally, Xia Hong did not know these three people, but it was thanks to Hou Tong who called out their identities.

The reason why Xia Hong’s gaze stayed on Wu Xiong was because in his left eye, there was an extremely rich fiery red substance lingering around Wu Xiong’s body.

Not only Wu Xiong, but everyone in Longshan has a little bit of it, although not as strong as Wu Xiong.

Those substances were extremely active and were slowly spreading toward the rear. Their target was obviously Han Qiong and his men who had retreated into the valley.

“Why do I have a familiar feeling…” The process of observing Wu Xiong’s abnormality may sound slow, but in fact it was just a moment. However, Xia Hong’s hands never stopped moving, and the ceremonial sword was only a few centimeters away from Li Xuanling’s neck.

“wrong!”

At the critical moment, Xia Hong’s brows suddenly frowned. While retracting the ceremonial knife, he suddenly turned his head and dodged to the side.

call out……

An iron arrow with a silver glow pierced directly through the corner of his left eyebrow, not only shooting off the red wooden mask on his face, but also pulling away a piece of flesh. Blood gushed out, instantly dyeing half of his face red.

“So young!”

When Li Xuan saw Xia Hong’s true appearance, he couldn’t help but exclaimed.

Li Xuanyan, who was beside him, couldn’t help but look a little grim, a hint of jealousy revealed in the depths of his eyes, and his murderous intent was obviously stronger.

It’s not just these two people, but all the people in Longshan, including the Longyou Army, from Zhou Yuan, Meng Ying, Wu Xiong to ordinary digging realm; even Hou Tong in the distance, and the people in Hanqiong’s garrison.

The moment he saw Xia Hong’s true face, his face was full of disbelief.

“How can you be so young?”

“Early twenties?”

“It seems that he is about the same age as Li Xuanling.”

…………

The mask Xia Hong wore before made him look like he was less than 30 years old.

Age is not a problem; the key is Xia Hong’s strength.

The younger you are, the stronger you are, and naturally the greater your potential.

This is a very simple truth.

The first time Xia Hong rescued Hou Hu on the east side of Longshan, he had already caused Longshan’s fear. Even though Hou Hu didn’t say it at the time, he felt a little bit of it in his heart.

Forty is the norm for cold-resistant level, and thirty is considered a genius. There is only one person like Li Xuanling in Longyou in the past hundred years.

Recalling the strength Xia Hong had displayed when he forced back Li Tiancheng and rescued Hou Hu on the right side of Longshan three days ago, and then looking at his face that was only in his early twenties, one can imagine the horror in everyone’s hearts.

Shock is only secondary, what is more important, of course, is fear.

“Hong Xia is not your real name. Xia Hong, the leader of Da Xia, is your real identity, right?”

Perhaps the only person who remained calm in the entire audience was Li Xuanling.

She looked at Xia Hong, not only was her face full of fighting spirit, she even revealed Xia Hong’s true identity in one sentence.

Xia Hong looked up at Li Xuanling with a smile on his face, and sighed softly: “I underestimated you!”

Then he showed a hint of curiosity and asked, “I shouldn’t have revealed any flaws from the beginning to the end. How did you see that?”

“How about you surrender now and I’ll tell you?”

Seeing Li Xuanling’s beautiful face full of confidence, Xia Hong’s smile deepened. He looked up at Wu Xiong behind him, and then said with a smile: “With just these few people in Longshan, you want to keep me? If Hou Tong and the others also take action, there is still a possibility!”

Upon hearing this, Li Xuanling turned his head and glanced inside the valley, his face darkening.

Hou Tong led her men back into the valley, obviously not planning to take action. She now led her men to encircle and suppress Xia Hong, and the one who would benefit the most in the end would be Zhaoyang.

Xia Hong was pointing at her, how could she not hear it.

Li Xuanling looked a little cold, and said in a deep voice to Xia Hong: “Compared to Zhaoyang Hou Hu, I think you are the biggest trouble in Longshan, so today, you must die!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xuanling rushed forward again, followed by Li Xuanyan and Li Xuandu, and they quickly engaged in a fight with Xia Hong again.

Xia Hongyi’s sword flew as he had to fight against three Cold-Resistant Level warriors while avoiding the spears of the Longyou Army that could stab him at any time. More importantly, he had to divide part of his mind to focus on the archer who was hiding deep on the top of the mountain wall.

Li Xuanling’s plan is very clear.

The three of them, plus the Longyou Army, used a rotation of battles to wear down his strength and fighting spirit, while the archer hiding in the dark waited for an opportunity to deal him a fatal blow.

It can be seen from the iron arrow that just pierced through the mask that Li Xuanling’s strategy is very effective.

“If I let you go on like this, you might end up capsizing in the ditch!”

Xia Hong sneered and turned to look at the hundreds of Longyou soldiers at the iron gate. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. While fighting with Li Xuanling and the other two, he continued to move closer to that side.

As a fellow human being, Xia Hong was somewhat reluctant to start a massacre, but if his life was really in danger, he would not be merciful.

kill!

This thought flashed through Xia Hong’s mind, a light flashed in his left eye, and his body suddenly rushed forward, swinging his ceremonial sword directly at the Longyou army at the iron gate.

Pfft…

Due to the brutal physical impact and the rapidly swinging Thousand Forged Ceremonial Sword, more than ten people in the front row of the Longyou Army were either crushed into meat paste or had their heads and bodies separated by the sword.

“Back off, go around him, and surround him!”

Xia Hong, firing at full power, suddenly burst out with a strength even stronger than before, but Li Xuanling still refused to give up and continued to loudly give orders to the Longyou Army.

Seeing that the Longyou Army really did not open the iron gate, Xia Hong’s left eye opened wide in anger, and a strong light suddenly condensed from it.

Pfft…

However, at this moment, an iron arrow suddenly shot from the outside of the valley.

“Brother, we are here!”

“If you dare to hurt the leader, I will kill you!”

“Get out of my way.”

“Chief, we are here to rescue you!”

……………

That iron arrow was just the beginning.

As more than ten familiar voices rang out in succession, more than ten iron arrows with tremendous force pierced through twenty or thirty soldiers of the Longyou Army.

call………

A black knife suddenly chopped down from outside the iron gate, and more than a dozen figures followed closely behind it. They all displayed extremely terrifying power, whether using knives, swords, guns or hammers. In less than five or six breaths, they dispersed all the more than a hundred Longyou soldiers blocking the iron gate and forcibly created a gap.

On Xia Hong’s side, his left eye had already recovered, and he turned his head to look at the gap.

Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, Qiu Peng, Lu Yang, Lin Kai, Zhao Long, Zhao Hu, Zhao Bao, Zhu Yuan, Huang Yong, Hong Gang… a lot of familiar faces came into view. Xia Hong didn’t even care why there were four more people, Chen Yingyuan, Chen Yingba, Wu Tianxing and Peng Bo, in the crowd.

“Hahaha, you guys arrived just in time!”

It had only been four months since they last met, but when Xia Hong saw the people from Da Xia, he still smiled happily, and the murderous intent that had just risen in his heart quickly disappeared.

“Haha, it looks like the young master’s wishful thinking is going to fail!”

While Xia Hong was in a good mood, he turned around and saw Li Xuanling with an ugly expression, and couldn’t help but teasing him.

“If you dare to hurt my brother, I will kill you!”

“The leader’s face was wounded by an arrow? Kill these bastards…”

“If you dare to hurt the leader, kill him!”

……………

Xia Hong was in a good mood, but Xia Chuan and others over there were not happy about it.

Seeing Xia Hong’s left face stained with blood, Xia Chuan was immediately furious, holding a black knife and rushing straight towards the Longyou Army inside the iron gate;
After his reminder, the other people also noticed Xia Hong’s facial injuries, and their anger instantly rose. They followed Xia Chuan with murderous intent and rushed towards the Longyou Army.

The status of leader Xia Hong in their minds is no different from that of a god, and he has long been synonymous with sacredness. Even if it is at the Cold-Resistant Level, it is extremely difficult to see him in the Da Xia base at ordinary times, and close contact with him is even more unimaginable.

But now, they actually saw that the god in their minds was hurt like this.

To everyone in Daxia, this was simply unacceptable.

Peng Bo, Chen Yingyuan, Chen Yingba and Wu Tianxing simply could not understand why Xia Chuan and others were so angry. Seeing that Xia Chuan had led his men to rush forward, they had no choice but to follow behind.

Fifteen cold-resistant warriors, holding different weapons, rushed towards the iron gate at the same time.

The destructive power caused by this attack is much more terrifying than Xia Hong just now.

“Brother, catch the divine arm bow!”

Xia Chuan rushed into the iron gate and killed five or six Longyou soldiers in a row. He then took off the light golden bow and a pot of iron arrows from his back and threw them directly to Xia Hong.

Xia Hong took the bow and arrow, saw the thousands of silver patterns on the bow, and tried the bowstring. His expression suddenly became excited. Then he inadvertently looked up at the top of the mountain wall, and the coldness in his eyes flashed away.

“No need to kill anyone, just go!”

Xia Hong rushed straight towards the gap, shouted at Xia Chuan and others who were killing, and then signaled everyone to retreat.

To be fair, even with so many cold-resistant soldiers, they could not be the opponent of the Longyou Army. The reason why Xia Chuan and others were able to create such a big momentum was that they took advantage of the small number of defenders on the Iron Gate side.

“Form a formation to surround and kill them. Don’t let them break through the formation!”

Li Xuanling has already begun mobilizing the Longyou Army.

They can only retreat!
