Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 516: Snow Owl

Views:

The Miao people in the south do not leave the border, and there are heroes coming down to Mount Emei.

Li Shentong may have been holding it in for a long time... He was waiting for the opportunity for Zhai Muzhi to get away from the heart of Bashu!

After all, he couldn't develop a huge potential force in secret like Maitreya did. He only had so many people, so how could he conquer cities? The Liangshan heroes couldn't occupy the cities they broke into, and they still had to hide in the mountains. Wouldn't that make them bandits

Just attack Chengdu directly, or quietly take off Zhai Muzhi's head. It may be easy for Li Shentong, but he is worried about a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows.

Xue Xiao is an assassin. When an assassin lurks in the dark, that is when the deterrence is the strongest, so Li Shentong has been forbearing and waiting for an opportunity.

But the magnificent military formation can be broken.

No matter what assassin is there among the thousands of soldiers, you have to draw your sword and face him face to face.

What Li Shentong wanted was for him to come face to face. When the assassin revealed his presence, the iron-lifting man was fearless.

It happened that Zhai Muzhi led his people southward, away from the heart of Bashu, and arrived at this pure Litang. When Li Shentong received the news, he only thought about it for a breath, and the next moment all the Shenhuang disciples swept down the mountain and attacked decisively.

Zhai Muzhi, who just thought that it didn't matter how weak the army was since the Miao people couldn't fight him, suddenly felt very ironic when facing the charge of only a few thousand people from the Shenhuang Sect.

Zhai Muzhi led his generals and officers out of the tent in a hurry. When they arrived at the gate of the camp, they looked at the flood in front of them. Everyone looked extremely ugly.

Just looking at the bronze-skinned man leading the enemy's army, he looked like a god coming to pursue his soul and take his life.

The fifth most powerful magical power on the Heavenly Ranking!

His nature is even more terrifying than Yuxu, who ranks fourth... Because he is truly invulnerable to swords and guns, ordinary armies are of no use to him!

"Shoot! Shoot!"

It has to be said that having more people does have some advantages. Even if the army formation is weak, when tens of thousands of people shoot arrows together, it is still a spectacular sight, blocking out the sun and the sky.

However, Li Shentong flew over, and the arrows hitting him were just like drizzle tickling him, unable to even leave a mark on him.

In just a moment, Li Shentong approached the village gate and punched from a distance.

"Boom!" A powerful force like that of an earth dragon roared out, and the gate of the village was blown into pieces, without any blocking effect. Some soldiers standing behind the gate were also turned into meat paste by the blast.

It's even more outrageous than being bombarded by heavy artillery.

All the soldiers looked pale and were ready to retreat. Who would dare to take a head-on punch from this humanoid Tyrannosaurus

As long as the morale is broken and they start to run away, let alone thousands of people, I am afraid that Li Shentong alone can chase and fight tens of thousands of people. There is no equal opponent to resist such arrows. The lethality of this top warrior on the battlefield is absolutely comparable to Gundam.

Zhai Muzhi gritted his teeth and led his officers to surround Li Shentong, shouting, "Li Shentong, do you really want to rebel?"

As long as we can contain this arrow, we can still win with the advantage in numbers.

Li Shentong glanced at them with disdain: "If you kill the traitors, how can you call it rebellion?"

Zhai Muzhi looked stern but was actually weak: "Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will come and destroy your Shenhuang Sect!"

Anyone who establishes a sect or has a family inheritance is not barefoot. He has to consider the sect and the family. Countless heroes are bound by this and waste their time.

Li Shentong laughed loudly towards the sky: "Everyone in the Shenhuang Sect has no home or family, no ties or worries. Even if that tyrant comes, we will fight to the death. What's the point of regretting it?"

As the laughter sounded, the two sides were already close to each other. Li Shentong clenched his fist again and struck out with a bang.

No one knew that between their two sentences, a message quietly reached Li Shentong's ears: "Sect Master Li, pay attention to Xie Ruhai, the chief historian beside Zhai Muzhi, who is suspected to be Xue Xiao."

Li Shentong's expression slightly changed, and he laughed loudly, "Thank you!"

A fist force collided with several weapons at the same time. At this moment, a sharp intention quietly attacked Li Shentong's ribs.

However, Li Shentong's punch did not hit the target at all, but just shook Zhai Muzhi and others away casually, and then turned into a violent and fierce light, hitting the place where the sneak attack was made fiercely.

A sharp friction sound was heard, and both sides were slightly shaken. The Snow Owl, who failed in the sneak attack and was hit by the concentrated force, suffered a greater loss. He retreated two more steps, his expression gloomy: "How did Zhao Shao know it was me?"

It’s really Xie Ruhai!

Judging from this sentence, Zhao Changhe's message was captured by him, and the power of the Heavenly Ranking really exceeded Zhao Changhe's current understanding.

Zhai Muzhi looked at Zhao Changhe in disbelief. Is he also a traitor? When you fought in Yanmen and conquered Jiangnan before, you were a loyal patriot!

Zhao Changhe stood outside the formation and smiled: "Shi Wuding is not a sociable person, he only has swords in his heart. But I was told by many sources that the disciples of Jian Pavilion have extensive social contacts in Bashu, which is very strange... This is certainly not arranged by Shi Wuding himself, he doesn't even know that he is a sword slave. Jianlu is the vest of Tingxue Tower, and of course the owner of Tingxue Tower is behind all this."

"What does that have to do with me, a low-profile chief historian?"

"Just now, I was talking to Governor Zhai about the Snow Owl killing time... Governor Zhai showed an emotion of 'this is impossible', although it was fleeting, fortunately, my eyes are still sharp. Governor Zhai must have had some intersection with Listening Snow Tower, and the connection is very close, so close that they can communicate in real time."

“How can we tell whether it is real-time communication?”

"More than a month ago, Wang Daozhong went south, and Shi Wuding came to visit him just after he arrived. He was commissioned by Governor Zhai. Although Wang Daozhong's journey was not fast at that time, and he had to wait for Li Si'an's convoy, with the level of troops Governor Zhai had..." Zhao Changhe said, pointing to the surrounding troops: "The envoy galloped to surpass Wang Daozhong's journey and get ahead of him, and he also had to accurately find where Shi Wuding was to pass on the information. This level of eliteness and organizational strength is simply not something Governor Zhai's men can have. Even if there are some elite ones, they would not be so nervous about Wang Daozhong. He is not that important."

Zhai Muzhi: “…”

"Of course it can only be Tingxue Tower that is communicating. There is even a certain possibility that Xuexiao directly transmitted the information through brain control. Can this prove that Governor Zhai and Tingxue Tower have a real-time communication channel?"

Xie Ruhai was somewhat amazed. "As expected of a famous hero who has solved several important cases for the Demon Suppression Division, your brain is really useful. But you guessed that Governor Zhai and Listening Snow Tower were interacting in real time, so how did you determine that the person was me?"

"It has come to this point. The chief secretary who is inseparable from the governor Zhai is of course a big suspect. What really confirms me is that when faced with the charge of Sect Master Li, the governor Zhai did not turn around and run, but led the people to fight... Where does he get his confidence from? Of course, there is only one possibility, that he has the confidence to hide by his side, and he attacks by himself to attract the attention of Sect Master Li, and in fact there is a terrible sneak attack from the side. You are the only one who can meet this condition."

During a few words of conversation, the people from the Shenhuang Sect behind Li Shentong also rushed to the front of the village, shouting and killing, and the two sides officially clashed.

Xue Xiao slowly drew his sword and pointed it at Li Shentong, saying calmly: "Sect Master Li, you have been forbearing because of me, so why do you have to risk everything at this moment? It is not easy to train thousands of Shenhuang disciples. If you are restrained by me, I don't know how many will be buried here."

Li Shentong laughed loudly, looking up to the sky: "Do you think I am standing here listening to your story because I am afraid of you? I am just giving face to Young Master Zhao and showing off my saintliness in front of others."

Snow Owl: “…”

Zhao Changhe: “emmmm…”

"Now that the rat from the gutter has appeared in broad daylight, who would be afraid of it!" Li Shentong's muscles swelled up: "Die!"

Another punch, and the wind and clouds began to move.

The battle between the fifth and sixth place on the Heavenly Ranking began in the southwest, on the banks of the Litang River.

Regardless of the outcome, Li Shentong was indeed restrained in the short term. With thousands of Shenhuang Sect men against forty thousand, can they win

If Zhai Muzhi was leading the team, it might be hard to say.

But there is also Zhao Changhe here.

Zhai Muzhi took a deep breath and turned to look at Zhao Changhe: "Young Master Zhao, what on earth do you mean!"
