"Oh!"
Chu Kuangnu spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the ground!
Chapter 189 Chu Kuangnu Killed with a Palm! A Battle Against the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry! (23)
Chu Kuangnu was originally a swordsman from the Northern Wilderness. He was defeated by Jian Jiuhuang and imprisoned at the bottom of Tingchao Lake in the Northern Liang Royal Palace.
Chu Kuangnu relied on the fish at the bottom of the lake for food and on the air in the fish's swim bladders for sustenance.
Xu Fengnian met him when she fell to the bottom of the lake as a child, and often brought him food.
This time, Xu Xiao ordered his men to release him so that he could follow Xu Fengnian.
Although he was surprised by Li Chang'an's agility, he was also secretly relieved.
Fortunately, Li Chang'an's skill was still shallow, and this palm strike was not enough to kill him.
While still in the air, Li Chang'an smiled slightly.
Upon seeing this, Chu Kuangnu immediately sensed something was wrong!
"Oh!"
His internal energy surged wildly, and his meridians swelled, as if he had been struck by another palm!
What kind of palm technique is this? It even has a residual force!
Not only was it incredibly powerful, but it also delivered the force of two palm strikes with a single blow!
In just a moment, another deafening dragon roar resounded!
"Oh!"
This is the third strike!
Chu Kuangnu's meridians were shattered, and his consciousness was blurred!
"Bang!" The fourth strike!
"Bang!" The fifth strike!
Two more loud bangs followed, and Chu Kuangnu had completely lost his life!
This is a palm strike that can only be performed after the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms have been perfected.
Dragons soar over the Five Sacred Mountains!
This move is poised to strike, its power divided into five layers!
A single palm strike from an enemy is like being struck five times, leading to utter destruction!
In the past six months, Li Chang'an has mastered the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to perfection.
By the time we finished surveying the terrain, it was almost dawn.
The latest intelligence from the Embroidered Uniform Guard has arrived: there are Northern Liang cavalrymen mixed in with Wang Ying's bandit army.
This area is not suitable for ambushes. If the Northern Liang cavalry charge in, we can simply use the Mo Dao soldiers to hold them off.
If it were a heavy cavalry force like the Iron Pagoda, Li Chang'an might need to think of another solution.
However, the cavalrymen disguised as bandits could only be light cavalry.
The Mo Dao soldiers were best at dealing with light cavalry.
The bluebird followed obediently behind Li Chang'an, remaining vigilant at all times.
"Your Highness, are you really not testing me?"
Without turning his head, Li Chang'an said, "I really am here to walk my bird."
The bluebird asked persistently, "Your Highness, where is your bird?"
Li Chang'an shrugged and said, "I'm just running away from the Bluebird."
The bluebird scratched its head before it realized what was happening.
"Oh, I see!"
When Li Chang'an set up camp in Yuanping, Wang Ying also led 13,000 bandits to the city of Jincheng.
In the past six months, Wang Ying's reputation as a bandit leader in Daliang Mountain has shocked the world.
First, they defeated the Yongzhou army that was suppressing bandits several times, and then they even kidnapped the crown prince of Beiliang.
Now they've become even more audacious, directly leading men to attack the prefectural capital!
Wang Ying's reputation for cruelty is no less than that of Chu Lushan.
After the bandits of Daliang Mountain broke into the city, they would surely commit all sorts of atrocities, including burning, killing, looting, and pillaging.
Therefore, the people in the city lived in constant fear, terrified that Wang Ying would breach the city walls.
Xu Fengnian, disguised as a bandit, stayed by Wang Ying's side.
Traveling south from Daliang Mountain in the north, Wang Ying almost always obeyed Xu Fengnian's every word.
Xu Fengnian encountered considerable difficulties when the enemy troops were at the gates of Jincheng.
First, there's still no news about the old man who tried to assassinate Li Chang'an.
The most troublesome person right now isn't Li Chang'an.
However, the operation by Fushuifang to rescue Chu Lushan failed.
Fu Shuifang had bribed almost half of the prison guards, and thought victory was assured.
However, the plan was suddenly leaked before the rescue operation could begin!
Chu Lushan was taken out of the prison, but then he was arrested and taken back!
Chu Lushan was being watched by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and unless Tian Zong himself decided to release him, he would never be rescued.
Now that Xu Fengnian has controlled the mountain bandits and surrounded Jincheng, but failed to rescue Chu Lushan, he is in a difficult situation.
Inside the bandit camp, Wang Ying requested a private audience with Xu Fengnian.
"Your Highness, Zhao Gou's forces had already been almost completely eliminated."
"The rescue of General Chu failed this time; there must be someone secretly sabotaging it!"
Xu Fengnian said, "We've already alerted them, making it difficult to secretly rescue Lu Qiu'er now."
Wang Ying continued, "I have a plan that can quickly rescue General Chu!"
"Afterwards, with General Chu leading three thousand Northern Liang cavalry, we will surely be able to destroy Li Chang'an!"
Xu Feng, a newcomer to the martial arts world, relied heavily on this veteran general.
"General Wang, tell me about it!"
A cruel glint appeared on Wang Ying's face. "My subordinates have captured quite a few people from Yongzhou along the way."
"Tomorrow on the battlefield, I will exchange the lives of these people with Tian Zong for Chu Lushan!"
Xu Fengnian was startled upon hearing Wang Ying's words.
"What if... the track and field team doesn't agree?"
Wang Ying's face hardened as he said, "Then kill! Kill a hundred in a quarter of an hour!"
"If we march on Jincheng, the people will be thrown into chaos. Tian Zong will have no choice but to agree!"
The massacre of unarmed civilians was nothing special to generals like Chu Lushan and Wang Ying, who had experienced war.
However, Xu Fengnian was somewhat apprehensive and nervous.
He turned to the two guards at the Finger Profound Realm, "If it were Xu Xiao, what would he do?"
Yang Chunting, skilled in using poison, answered directly.
"Your Highness, a true man is no hero without ruthlessness!"
Fan Zhenhai remained expressionless, only stating the current predicament.
"If the young master does not make a decision soon, General Chu may be secretly executed by the imperial court!"
Xu Fengnian did not hesitate for long, because Chu Lushan was too important.
In the Northern Liang army, the majority supported Chen Zhibao, the "White-Clad Warrior," taking over the reins of Northern Liang.
Xu Longxiang was born with a superhuman physique and immense strength, which made him very popular among the soldiers.
In contrast, Xu Fengnian, the legitimate heir, has the fewest supporters.
Among those who support Xu Fengnian, Chu Lushan is the most influential!
Moreover, Chu Lushan is Xu Fengnian's loyal dog, and he always lets the young master enjoy all the good things first.
For both public and private reasons, Xu Fengnian had to rescue Chu Lushan.
Moreover, he was well aware that this operation was Xu Xiao and Li Yishan's way of training him.
This young master is exceptionally intelligent; I cannot allow Xu Xiao to look down on me!
"General Wang, we will proceed as you have suggested!"
