Lang Jing stood behind Du Shoushou and rubbed his hands, "fat grandpa, do you want me to feel refreshed the second time?"

  Old Huo said from the side: "The first shot is to establish our might, so we use Jadeite Spirit Stones that are not of a very good quality. The effect was almost there. The second shot was to intimidate the soldiers. Therefore, there's no need to fill up so many spirit stones. Use this. "

  He pointed to an extremely tight cloth bag on the side: "The innermost area of the off-gun relies on the push force of a peak Golden-Rank spirit stone, which is enough to push this thing out for seven to eight hundred meters. The opponent's bed crossbow range does not exceed five hundred meters, so even if it is five hundred meters, it is still nothing to worry about. Come, Lang Jing, aim well, and with the second move, you'll feel refreshed. "

  Lang Jing chuckled as he walked up, and then lit the fire according to Old Huo's instructions. As long as a bit of Cultivation Power was injected inside, then the peak Golden-Rank spirit stones would be shot out under the effect of the unique artifact created by the Old Huo. Lang Jing pressed his hand down, with a loud bang! The bag that was the size of a washbasin flew out. However, it was not accurate as it had exploded on top of those soldiers' heads.

  BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

  A large ball of fire came out from the sky and quickly spread out. The large ball of fire covered an area of at least a hundred meters, and not a single Forbidden Army soldier within this range could survive. After the explosion, countless iron balls flew around like bullets, turning the Imperial Guard upside down. The first few soldiers who were controlling the crossbows on the bed were even more unlucky, they were all blown to pieces.

  More than half of the crossbows had been destroyed. Even if there were a few that could still be used, no one would dare to use them.

  There was no way to start a war like this. Although those soldiers of the Imperial Guard used the bed crossbows crafted by the elites of the great swallow Military Workshop, their power was astonishing. However, the craftsmen of the weapons workshop were not on the same level as the Old Huo. If we use magic tools as an example, those armoury craftsmen would at most use emerald grade magic tools, while the Old Huo s are the best of the Purple-Rank.

  In the current world, the only artifact master who could create a Purple-Rank artifact. Even if it was in Da Xi, the Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo would still be a very good person to deal with.

  However, this was exactly what no one had expected, who could have ever thought that the old man who guarded the door in the Heavenly Awakening Sect would have such a great background?

  Only when the taste of bullying was felt from the battlefield did he feel good.

  Tan Taiche looked at the second cannon shot and shook his head, "Unless the Imperial Guards are idiots, no one dares to charge forward. If this item was mass-produced and sent to the battlefield, the battle against the Youguo would have already won. "

  An Zheng sighed: "It would be great if this thing could be mass-produced, do you know what it is used for? It's a spirit stone at the peak of the Golden-Rank. Even my Heavenly Awakening Sect can only take out three to five of them … "

  Tan Taiche: "Can you be a little more modest? Three to five spirit stones at the peak of the Golden-Rank, do you think that's enough? "

  He looked at An Zheng: "I keep having the feeling that there's something wrong with this scene. Let me think … According to the stories I've heard before, loyal officials are always suffering, right? If he wanted money, he didn't have money. But if he didn't want anyone, he would have to live with extreme grievance. But when you come here, why don't you have something that makes people feel sorry for you? Though you're not particularly rich, and there aren't many who are richer than you. I have been observing you since the day you entered the Fanggu. "Why?"

  An Zheng replied, "I'm not a loyal official."

  Tan Taiche: "Scram …" However, this explanation is quite reasonable. "

  An Zheng said: "This is still not my ultimate goal, in the future when I become rich, I will be giving out money everyday. Someone did a good deed and paid. Who saved him and paid him? If anyone did anything bad, they would be beaten to death. With such simple rules, I'd probably have to struggle for years to achieve this goal. Not to mention going to Da Xi, even if it's the population of State of Yan, I can't afford to raise it. "

  Tan Taiche's face was covered in black lines, "Your dream is truly unique …"

  When the Heavenly Awakening Sect was basically completely under no pressure, the other side of the Imperial Guard was already in a state of chaos.

  The leader of the Imperial Guard caused Xu De Gang's face to turn pale as if he had just eaten a mouthful of sh * t. He ordered the soldiers to retreat out of the range of the Heavenly Awakening Sect monster, and then counted the casualties. The other side had only fired two shots and had already lost all their morale.

  "What should we do, General?"

  his personal guard asked.

  Xu De Gang turned his head and looked behind him: "Do you have any orders from the Embroidery Palace?"

  "Not yet."

  "Where's the Swallow King?"

  "Nor."

  "What about the courtiers?"

  "None of them responded."

  Just as he was speaking, the personal guard in charge of delivering the message came back, panting as he said, "The King has given the order to kill everyone in Heavenly Awakening Sect. However, for some reason, the entire army of the Board of Justice had disappeared, and the other experts of the Board of Justice had disappeared as well. As for the yamen runners of the Fanggu, after hearing about the war, they all took off their official uniforms. As for the adults, it seems like they did not hear anything. No matter how loud the Swallow King shouted at them, none of them were willing to step forward. "

  Xu Degang coldly snorted, "How could those old foxes stand up at this time? If Mu Qidao was really the child of the previous crown prince, then for those adults, it was even better than having Mu Changyan become the king. After all, controlling a child was much easier than controlling Mu Changyan. However, those people were only there to watch. As long as there was a change in the situation, they would make their move. Now, what's strange is that the Embroidery Palace also hasn't made any movements? "

  "What should we do?"

  the janitor asked.

  Xu De Gang waved his hand: "Surrounded here, without my orders no one is to leave, no one is to attack, wait for the experts from Embroidery Palace to come."

  At the same time, at Embroidery Palace.

  Empress Dowager Su stretched her body and looked at Su Mao and Su Pei who were kneeling before the bed.

  "You two, when can I relax? Other people would only share the worries of their subjects. I have to take care of you, and I have to arrange everything for you. Do you not have any backbone? "

  Su Mao said: "Since the Imperial Guards cannot break in, we can only mobilize the experts."

  Empress Dowager Su: "Then change it... Even if the people sent by the State of Zhao were all sent over, there would still be a few hundred people. With a few hundred cultivators, can't you take down a small Heavenly Awakening Sect? "

  Su Mao lowered his head. "Empress Dowager, you can't underestimate Heavenly Awakening Sect. Now that the situation had become complicated, when the Heavenly Awakening Sect announced the matter of Mu Qidao, no one dared to act rashly. Furthermore, Department of War Chen Zaiyan brought all the Thousand Revolution School Commanders and a team of Tie Liuhuo s left behind to enter the Heavenly Awakening Sect. With the addition of the Zaocang's cultivators, all of a sudden, the Heavenly Awakening Sect actually has the strength to fight against us. "

  Empress Dowager Su looked at Su Mao. "The time for you students to raise your troops is now. It is time for you students to give your all for our nation. Also, pass down an order to the Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao, instruct the sects to mobilize their cultivators to surround and attack the Hea
venly Awakening Sect. "I don't believe that even with the entire Fanggu's martial arts power, they wouldn't be able to destroy a puny Heavenly Awakening Sect …"

  She leaned back. "If anyone brings me any more bad news and makes me ill, I'll find a sow and put it in."

  Su Pei's face changed. "But Her Majesty … Those sects may not be willing to listen to them. "

  Empress Dowager Su said: "That depends on your abilities. Didn't you always brag in front of me that you had more than half of the Fanggu's martial arts world in your hands? "How come, when it's time to be of use, the martial arts world won't be the same as the martial arts world?"

  Su Pei kowtowed as he said, "This subject is guilty, this subject cannot guarantee that the other sects will take action."

  Empress Dowager Su sighed: "That's no good, you idiots... Go tell the sect masters of those sects, tell them which sect destroyed the Heavenly Awakening Sect today, and tomorrow, it will be my great swallow's national sect, with the salary and status that the sect master gave to a first rank official. Didn't those old fellows of the Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao already want to make the Dao Sect the Orthodoxy? Go and tell them that I have agreed to this matter. As long as they destroy Heavenly Awakening Sect, it will be that simple. "

  Su Pei hastened to say, "With these words from the empress dowager, things will be much easier. This subject will go deliver the decree now."

  Empress Dowager Su replied: "Don't worry, he's just a bastard. As long as Fang Zhiji was not in the capital, there was nothing to worry about. It just so happens that we can get rid of all those burdens, so no matter how many people die, they won't be afraid. "

  She gently caressed her belly and said, "No one is allowed to fight with me over the mountains and rivers. No one is allowed to."

  Chapter 267 - Fighting the Jianghu by Yourself

  When the Imperial Guards started to retreat, An Zheng's senses told him of the danger.

  "Something doesn't seem right."

  An Zheng looked at the retreating Imperial Guards, his face turning serious: "Even if Embroidery Palace has gathered his experts, there is no need for the Imperial Guards to retreat."

  Gu Chaotong's expression was equally solemn. After being silent for quite a while, he suddenly thought of something. "In the end, I missed one thing."

  "What?"

  "The martial arts world!"

  Gu Chaotong said: "In the Fanggu, there are no less than a hundred small and large sects, especially those small sects, which one of them is not wholeheartedly looking forward to entering the imperial court? The sect leaders of the small sects with a hundred disciples were all overjoyed to be given a seventh rank. The bigger sects had greater ambitions. Especially the Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao … The Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao was a branch of the Dao Sect and it always considered itself as a righteous faction. I heard that a long time ago, the Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao wanted to make the Dao Sect become the State of Yan's Orthodoxy … "

  An Zheng understood, "Understood, the reason the Imperial Guards retreated is because there were too many cannon fodder, they were afraid of splashing their own blood. Counting all the sects of Fanggu, there are four to five thousand disciples here. Even if there are only half of them, the pressure on us is too great. After all, those who came from major sects were all cultivators, even if they were weak. "

  Gu Chaotong paced back and forth, his expression turning uglier and uglier: "Owner, give me the letter. With those sharp weapons forged in Oldman Huo, how many people can you block?"

  An Zheng said: "That is unknown, if they are all cultivators below the Sumeru Stage, I can kill as many as I want. However, we are worried about experts with Captive Stage or higher. Once we break through, we will not be able to hold on for much longer. "

  Gu Chaotong: "Let me calculate how much of a sect there is going to be that will charge towards us."

  "Now?"

  An Zheng looked at Gu Chaotong in disbelief.

  Gu Chaotong sat down and closed his eyes, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably. An Zheng knew that Gu Chaotong was a prodigy. When he was able to follow the Xiao Qi Dao around, he had already memorized the Gao Clan's gambling den. Therefore, An Zheng believed that Gu Chaotong could definitely remember how many sects there were in the Fanggu. However, this is more than just knowing the numbers. Gu Chaotong still had to analyze how many people in the sect would bet their life and future on this.

  "At least fifty sects will come. I roughly estimate the number of people, no less than three thousand. Of course, this was only the early stages, because the larger sects would wait and see. The moment our side shows signs of losing, those big sects will immediately rush over and seize the victory. Therefore, those small sects will get nothing but cannon fodder in the end. However, the greatest danger for us is that we absolutely cannot show any signs of being unable to persevere. He had to always be strong and suppress the other party … This is almost impossible. "

  An Zheng acknowledged, "Yes … It's almost impossible, but it's not impossible. "

  Gu Chaotong said: "Over three thousand people, this is the first wave of attack. Once we show signs of exhaustion, the attacks later on will be like tides, with each wave becoming fiercer. Furthermore … This is the least I can think of, don't forget the Gao Clan. "

  Gu Chaotong looked at An Zheng: "The Gao Family has only just collapsed and the monkey that was supporting itself on the big tree has not disappeared yet. The moment something goes wrong with our side, those people would pounce over like mad dogs. "I'm afraid that this number will not be less than one thousand people …"

  An Zheng: "What do you think?"

  Gu Chaotong said: "Although there are a lot of them, it's a good thing that we have the advantage of land. This is a residential area, so the military can't be used, so we don't need a full-on defense. "There are a few crucial points. Have our experts stand guard here."

  An Zheng: "What's the odds of winning?"

  Gu Chaotong remained silent for a good while: "No … Owner, I didn't agree with this fight from the start because we have no chance of victory, not a single point. What are we doing? He was using the strength of a sect to fight against the imperial government. Even if the big masters of the military were to follow us and go crazy, there aren't many people in the military. The garrison troops in the capital, General Fang Daozhi and General Wang Kaitai are able to move all of them here, but the amount of over a thousand of them is less than what we have expected. "

  "This is a heinous crime …"

  An Zheng said: "Victory means protection of the kingdom, defeat means rebellion."

  Gu Chaotong said: "We can't win, not to mention that the Embroidery Palace has not made any moves, just those martial artists that want to be officials, that alone, are already exhausting our energy. When the Embroidery Palace's experts attack on a large scale, we will have no chance of winning. "

  "Yes!"

  An Zheng took a deep breath: "If we follow your plans, I guarantee that we will have backup."

  "Back-up?"

  Gu Chaotong asked: "Really?"

  "There really is one!"

  "How many?"

  "I don't know."

  An Zheng said: "But believe me, we will definitely win this battle."

  As they were speaking, the group of martial artists gathered over, carrying various weapons and wearing all sorts of clothing. The number of people was increasing. The sect members holding flags began to look for a place to temporarily stop. Not long after, thousands of people gathered outside the Heavenly Awakening Sect. However, these people didn't dare to do anything in the beginning because they knew that the first one to go up would be the one to die. What kind of character An Zheng had in the Fanggu was no longer a secret, everyone knew that once war started, there would be no leeway.

  By noon, there were already no less than three thousand people gathered outside the Heavenly Awakening Sect.

  Old Huo squinted his eyes and picked u
p a wine pot beside him. "The wine pot has been filled with water for half a lifetime.

  He raised his wine pot and took a big gulp, then violently coughed out. "Awesome!"

  He stood up and said loudly, "All gunners, listen carefully. Whether or not you can take it all will be up to you. All of you, aim and attack well."

  He turned around and looked at An Zheng: "All these years, I followed you little brats, and I could be considered afraid. I was always worried that if all of you were to die, who the hell would still be filial to me? So I've been preparing a gift for you, and today I'm going to give it to you. "It's just a fight, a small country like this is just a group of unpopular martial artists. I, Huo Wan Zong, do not even have a chance to look at them!"

  He raised his hand. "Show them something!"

  The eight off-gun s that were standing at the top of Heavenly Awakening Sect were all enraged, and they all flew out in different directions. Those martial artists were still unclear about the background of the Heavenly Awakening Sect, so they were all less than 500 meters away from it. off-gun s were powerful enough to cause great damage even a thousand meters away. As for those people, they felt that the distance was safe enough, so they were all watching without being on guard.

  Although they weren't weak, they still weren't a match for the army. These martial artists were used to wandering and wandering around. There were rules within the sect, but no communication existed between the sect and itself. Everyone was on guard, so it was impossible for them to work together. Therefore, even if there were a large number of people, there was not a single uniform dispatch system. To the Heavenly Awakening Sect, this round of artillery barrage could be said to be a huge harvest!

  "Don't hold back!"

  Old Huo's face flushed red after drinking, he looked much younger, and pointed out from where he stood: "Our Heavenly Awakening Sect wants people, people and money, give me spirit stone bullets, and let that group of people see what it means to have such a strong foundation!"

  Eight spirit stone bullets whizzed out and exploded in the group of martial artists across from him.
