Xiao Sheng looked at the scroll in his hand and said, "These people should be the elite disciples that I, Dongfang Yun, have trained over the years. They are thirteen young disciples, each of whom has specialized in spearmanship since childhood. They are called the Thirteen Eagles."
"Are they going to set up some kind of formation?" Ye Huo frowned slightly, watching the thirteen gunmen disperse and form a circle that surrounded them.
"Unlike ordinary Jianghu disciples, the Thirteen Eagles are more like a miniature army." Xiao Sheng said calmly, "They want to form a forest of guns to surround us. Who among you has the confidence to break the formation?"
"I'll go." Adou said eagerly.
But Zhao Xiaqiu stepped forward faster than him and drew out the two broken swords on his back: "I'll do it."
In the distance, Wang Ruoxu and his Wang family disciples appeared beside the dragon sedan chair. He frowned and glanced at Dongfang Yunwo: "Why are you so anxious?"
Dongfang Yunwo said in a deep voice: "Opportunities are not waiting for, but breaking through. We in the Dongfang family are willing to create a way for you."
Wang Ruoxu looked into the distance and said, "I heard that you have been training them for a long time?"
"Yes." Dongfang Yun nodded.
Wang Ruoxu sighed softly, "I'm afraid we'll all die here today."
"We should fulfill our responsibilities." Dongfang Yunwo replied.
On the other side of the hillside, Mu Xi, the head of Tianshu Hall, and Liu Duohan from Tianshui Villa also stood together, watching the battlefield below.
"I always thought that Dongfang Yun was the one who had the best chance of leading our family to replace the Wang family and become the head of the four major families. Now it seems that he is more stupid than I thought." Liu Duohan said.
Mu Xi shook his head: "You are wrong."
"Oh?" Liu Duohan was stunned.
"Dongfang Yunwo is willing to send his elite troops to lead the charge because of his friendship with Demon City." Mu Xi looked down with a serious expression, "Demon City Lord Mo Wen and Dongfang Yunwo once participated in the battle of Zhan Tianmen together. The two have a life-and-death friendship."
"Then why should he take the lead?" Liu Duohan was puzzled.
"Dongfang Yun, I am telling Shanglin Tiangong through my actions that when other factions are unwilling to take action, I, Dongfang Yun, can take action. But since he has already taken action first, when Mo Wen goes out to fight, Shanglin Tiangong will no longer be qualified to ask me, Dongfang Yun, to fight against my brother." Mu Xi sighed.
"I see." Liu Duohan nodded.
On the city wall, Mo Wen raised his glass towards the city below, then drank it all.
Zhao Xia Qiu raised his two swords and swung them violently. An extremely domineering sword energy descended, directly cutting a path through the forest of spears. The armor of the two knights closest to the sword energy shattered, and the spears in their hands were also shaken away.
"Change the formation!" the leader of the Thirteen Eagles shouted loudly.
The Thirteen Eagles immediately changed the circle into a line and attacked Zhao Xia Qiu in the shape of a long snake. Zhao Xia Qiu blocked one shot with his chest, but then another shot came at him. The gunshots came one after another like rain. Zhao Xia Qiu gathered energy with his two swords to form a sword wall, but after eleven consecutive attacks, no matter how strong the sword wall was, it could not hold up.
Finally, the two knights whose spears were knocked away pulled open a chain and attacked Zhao Xia Qiu.
In the distance, Bai He exclaimed: "Good."
Dongfang Yun I looked ahead, my expression unchanged.
"Only thirteen gunmen can form such a force. What if there are one hundred and thirty? What if there are one thousand three hundred?" Bai He asked quietly.
Dongfang Yun shrugged and said, "Then we have to ask the General of the State."
Wang Ruoxu heard the hidden meaning in Bai He's words, and his pupils shrank slightly.
On the other side, Zhao Xia Qiu raised his head and looked at the chains coming at him, with a flash of purple air on his body.
"Third brother, don't be anxious!" Gu Ye shouted loudly, and the feather arrow in his hand flew out, directly piercing through the shoulder of one of the knights and knocking him away.
"Get rid of the archers first." the leader shouted.
Gu Ye shuddered, "No, I'm the weakest among the Nine Evils. I can only shoot arrows, and I often miss the target."
Before he finished speaking, a knight threw the spear in his hand at him.
Ling Ran leaped up and kicked the spear back. The knight rode his horse forward, took the spear, and swung it at Ling Ran. Ling Ran stepped back and the spear passed across her throat.
"Spin." The leader of the spear formation suddenly swung his spear and shouted, "Wind."
All the knights scattered again, but this time they no longer formed a circle. Instead, they took advantage of Zhao Xiaqiu's attack just now and cut into the middle of the Nine Evils. At this time, they all swung their spears wildly, like a whirlwind.
For an archer like Gu Ye, there was no chance for him to attack under such circumstances and he could only retreat to Ye Huo's side. Ye Huo used the rusty sword at his waist to repel the attacking spear.
Ah Dou was also knocked back by the volley of long spears, and couldn't help cursing, "I've never fought a fight like this before."
Ling Ran stepped on a spear and then jumped high up. "If they fight alone, each of them would be vulnerable, but I didn't expect that thirteen spears attacking together would be so difficult."
Xiao Sheng sighed softly: "You are too stupid, just as stupid as the person who designed this formation."
In the distance, Wang Ruoxu raised the Zhuyan longbow and aimed it at Xiao Sheng: "Among the nine evils, Xiao Sheng is the most terrifying."
"Do you want to kill him with one arrow?" I asked Dongfang Yun.
"Maybe there will be such an opportunity." Wang Ruoxu pulled the bowstring to its full extent.
Niu Tou and Ma Mian were not as good at martial arts as the others, and had already experienced life and death several times under the spears. At this moment, they said anxiously: "Boss Xiao, what is the solution? Tell me."
"These gunmen are hard to beat, but can't you kill these horses?" Xiao Sheng sighed and turned another page of the book. "Too stupid, really too stupid."
Everyone's mind suddenly brightened. The sickle in Adou's hand flew out immediately. When he caught it again, the sickle was already covered with blood. He smiled and said, "Sure enough, Boss Xiao is still smart."
Then behind him, there was the sound of a horse falling heavily to the ground.
Zhao Xia Qiu's two broken swords also flew out of his hands, circling the ground for a while, and cut off the legs of many wild horses.
The most excited ones were the two brothers, Bull Head and Horse Face. They pulled the chains and walked close to the ground, causing a chaos of people and horses falling down, and all the knights had to jump off their horses.
"The spear is about the word 'long'." Xiao Sheng turned another page of the book. "Beyond seven feet, it can be called invincible. All those who use spears usually ride horses, but if the distance is only a few feet, the spear is like a bow and arrow, and its power will lose eight points. Xia Qiu, these are people from the Dongfang family, they can only injure but not kill."
"Got it." Zhao Xiaqiu unfolded his two swords.
