Chapter 357 New and Old Grudges, Exquisite Array
It turned out that the day after the Empress left with Qin Lingxing and the others, a maid informed Hua Lingxing of the news.
She knew that the Empress and her companions would face immense danger on their journey.
So they immediately found Shanzi, Daya, and others.
Despite their best efforts, the group traveled day and night, but they were still a step too late.
In the end, they could only hide deep in the dense forest and wait for an opportunity to strike.
The music just now was the calming melody from the Linglong Divine Skill that Xiao Lie and Xiao Man played.
Xiaoman originally wanted Limeng to use their Miao ethnic group's Gu technique to control them and buy them some time.
Li Meng is currently angry because Xiao Man won't take her to see Lan Xiang.
In the end, Xiaoman had no choice but to hide for now, lest Limeng control the abdominal-inducing Gu in his stomach again, causing him to suffer excruciating pain.
Although the two of them playing calming music could not keep a master like Gao Kezi under control for long,
However, this also bought Hua Lingxing, Shanzi, and the others time to rescue people.
Gao Kezi realized what was happening and roared, "You're asking for death!"
He condensed the earth-yellow energy in his hand into a stream of gas and shot it into the depths of the dense forest.
A voice shouted, "Get out of the way!"
The figures hiding in the woods dispersed without hesitation.
Wherever the air mass passed, the trunks of large trees in the forest snapped.
The music was interrupted, and the warriors of Gu Xuanchao regained control.
A flicker of fear crossed their eyes, quickly replaced by anger.
Gao Kezi stared at the dozen or so people who had suddenly appeared.
Leading the group were Shanzi and Daya, followed by Xiaolie, Datou, Xiaoman, Shizi, Shuier, Xiaohe, Limeng, and others.
These people are all quite young; even the strongest, Xiao Lie and Xiao Man, are only at the Middle Yuan Realm.
"A bunch of immature kids, how dare they cause trouble?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Gao Kezi's eyes: "The melody just now, you guys created it?"
He simply couldn't understand how a group of martial artists at the Middle Yuan Realm could possess such bizarre methods.
The music they played was so captivating that it momentarily made him lose his composure.
Xiao Lie stepped forward, blocking Hua Lingxing's path, and looked at the Empress with concern, asking, "Spirit King, how are you?"
The Empress shook her head and forced herself to stand up: "I am fine."
When Shanzi and the others walked to Qilingxing's side and saw the corpses of Hualingxing and Chalingxing, everyone's face darkened.
Shui'er and Xiao He squatted down and used her trembling hands to check their breaths.
In the end, he could only shake his head at Shanzi, tears silently streaming down his face.
Xiaoman also came to Liu Lingzhen's side, placed her fingers on his wrist pulse, and her expression changed drastically.
Liu Lingzhen's pulse was so strong that he could barely feel it beating.
Then he pulled open his clothes, looked at the shocking sight of his chest, and pressed his hand against it.
He immediately took out silver needles from his pocket. Xiaoman's hand speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Lingzhen's upper body was covered with dense silver needles.
However, Xiaoman still didn't have enough silver needles.
He shouted, "Severe organ displacement! Pebbles, silver needles!"
Shi Zi quickly pulled out a silver needle from his pocket and threw it at him.
Xiaoman caught the silver needles and, with swift movements, inserted dozens more silver needles precisely into Liu Lingzhen's major acupoints.
Xiaoman explained to the crowd, "Whether we can save him or not depends on his fate."
Although Chao Keda's double hammers did not hit his vital points, they still shattered several of his ribs and injured his internal organs.
Daya stepped forward, her gaze sweeping over Gu Xuanchao and the others like a knife, and said in an icy voice, "Did you kill the two Lingxing sisters?"
Gegentu sized her up, then suddenly remembered Che Hele's words, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes: "You're the group of kids who ruined my Gu Xuanchao's plans back in Jia County?"
Che Hele added from the side, "That's right! The eldest prince was injured by one of the girls in this group of children back then, and he still falls seriously ill every winter!"
Upon hearing this, Gegentu was furious: "So it was you! You got away back then, today is the perfect time to settle both old and new scores!"
"Everyone, charge! Kill them all!"
The warriors of Gu Xuanchao raised their weapons again and surrounded them menacingly.
The setting sun cast its rays upon the blade, reflecting a cold, icy light.
Shanzi shielded the Empress and the Spirit Stars behind him, standing shoulder to shoulder with Daya and the others.
He looked at the densely packed enemies in front of him, and then at his seriously wounded comrades behind him.
Everyone took a deep breath, and Daya gripped her sword tightly: "Today, I will settle the score with you for injuring Xiaoyue back then!"
The longsword in Da Ya's hand hummed, and her Linglong Divine Skill was boosted to its maximum.
Although her skill level is still at the first-class level.
However, she used the Linglong Divine Skill to its fullest extent.
In just a moment, he killed several warriors of the Gu Xuan Dynasty.
Shanzi, Datou, Shizi, Shui'er, and Xiaohe, each wielding a long sword, also engaged in battle with them.
Xiao Lie and Xiao Man are fighting against Ba Li Qiao Bu and his group.
Li Meng did not make a move, but stood behind and played with the jade flute in her hand. Xiao Man was extremely helpless towards her.
He told her not to come, but she insisted. And once she did come, she didn't help him. What could he do?
You have to bear the consequences of your own actions!
Chen Junxuan originally wanted to come along, but Song Jiuxian stopped him in the end.
As for the affairs of the Ling Kingdom, one was a court official and the other a Qin official, so it was naturally inconvenient for them to get involved.
Especially Song Jiuxian, if he gets involved.
The Beggars' Sect is easy to deal with; with just one word from him, no one in the Beggars' Sect would dare to say a bad word about him.
But if the Beggars' Sect joins the battlefield, what will the Qin emperor think? No one knows!
Despite the timely arrival of Shanzi, Daya, and others to provide support.
However, the disparity in strength between the two sides ultimately rendered this support inadequate.
Of their group, only Xiao Lie and Xiao Man broke through to the Grandmaster Realm (Middle Yuan Realm), while the rest remained at the Acquired Realm.
Fortunately, the exquisite divine skill they had practiced since childhood was a top-tier skill in this world.
Fortunately, the Linglong Divine Skill allows one to fight opponents of higher levels.
Compared to ordinary top-tier experts in the Acquired Realm, they can also hold their own against martial artists who have just entered the Innate Realm (Minor Yuan Realm).
However, there is still an insurmountable gap between the Acquired Realm and the Innate Realm.
A martial artist at the Innate Realm can already draw upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth to temper their physical body.
Even if someone cultivates to the peak of the first-class level in the Acquired Realm, without a fortuitous encounter or divine weapon, they will be helpless against those in the Innate Realm (Minor Yuan Realm).
However, the wonders of the Linglong Divine Skill go far beyond one-on-one combat.
There is a set of exquisite sword formations in the cultivation technique that can be the key to bridging the gap in cultivation levels between people.
This formation requires the combined efforts of four people to activate, drawing their internal energy to flow and amplify each other, forming a perfectly integrated whole.
Back in Nanyang City, Shanzi, Xiaolie, Datou, and Hualingxing relied on this sword formation to fight their way through the Qin army.
