Chapter 196: Dragon Soars

Chapter 196 Dragon Soars

Watching those exile soldiers charging toward them, Li Huowang understood instantly.

These beasts had no intention of distinguishing anyone; they intended to slaughter the entire town!

"Boom~! Boom~! Boom~!" The sound of war drums knocked upon every person's heart.

Amidst the wailing of ghosts and wolves, these exile soldiers began to move, like a pack of starvation-maddened wolves charging toward unarmed lambs.

Li Huowang looked at the densely packed thousand exile soldiers before him and quickly dispelled the idea of decapitation from his mind.

The success rate of doing so was too low, and friend and foe were indistinguishable; he did not know what strength this woman possessed.

Judging merely from Wang Deqiu's skills earlier, her strength was absolutely not low.

"At this time, letting the others leave this place alive is the best strategy." Having determined the direction, Li Huowang mixed into the crowd and charged toward the town center.

He wanted to return as quickly as possible, and others thought the same; everything around had become a chaotic mess.

When he finally managed to reach inside the town, he heard an extremely sharp whistle sound from behind.

When everyone subconsciously looked back, they saw that female general holding a long halberd, pointing it at them.

A crisp voice exploded in everyone's ears. "Heaven and Earth rush backward, Dragon transforms within, arrange Dragon Flying Formation! Kill!"

"Kill!!" All the exile soldiers roared, quickening their pace to charge at the town.

This roar completely terrified the commoners present, leaving no thoughts in their minds, turning them into livestock that only knew how to flee for their lives.

Before the exile soldiers even got close, many people had already been trampled to death alive.

"Puchi." Sharp blades precisely inserted into everyone's bodies, easily taking their lives.

When killing machines that should have fought enemies faced unarmed commoners, they were so efficient and clean.

Living people fell down piece by piece, like harvesting wheat.

The exile soldiers clearly enjoyed this slaughter greatly; looking at the splashing blood and flesh, many even began to swallow saliva.

Li Huowang constantly shuttled through the crowded people, but his path was always blocked by others.

In the end, he truly had no other way; only by darting onto the roof did he finally find a path back.

Stepping on the high and low tiles, Li Huowang arrived at the previous location.

Seeing that everyone else was still there, not running blindly with the chaotic mob, Li Huowang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this was also because these people did not yet know what had happened; they stood there somewhat anxiously waiting, watching others running on the street.

"Bang!" Li Huowang fell heavily from the sky, startling everyone.

"Go quickly! Don't ask anything, talk on the road, they are killing their way over! Leave this town first! The faster the better!"

Although still unclear about the situation, seeing Li Huowang's grave expression, no one dared say another word, and hurriedly grabbed the carriage.

The carriage began to roll, wrapping around the crowd and charging forward.

Taking this opportunity, Li Huowang urgently recounted what he had seen once.

"How dare they! How dare they! This bunch of murderous scum!!" Jin Shanzhao was so angry his face turned iron-blue and his hands shook straight.

Hearing this, Li Huowang, who had some suspicions in his heart, scanned his face. "Do you know them? With your status, is there a way to make them stop?"

Previously he never knew this old man's identity, always mysterious; if he truly was a big figure, perhaps he could really solve this crisis.

Jin Shanzhao dejectedly shook his head, "The exile soldiers have begun slaughtering the city; even if there was a way, it has become no way."

"If it's useless then don't talk nonsense, if you don't want to die then hurry up and go!"

Li Huowang and the others took the north exit.

He knew there were exile soldiers surrounding that side too, but at least there was no female general there; the probability of escape was greater.

Swinging through the crowd for a while, Li Huowang suddenly saw the crowd that should have been fleeing forward actually begin to turn and run back.

"Zhao Wu! Hold the reins! At this time absolutely do not let the horses get startled!"

Several carriages were like wooden boats in turbulent river water, under the actions of Li Huowang and others, struggling to row forward.

Suddenly, the "turbulent river water" disappeared all at once.

Li Huowang had just looked up when a cold gleam stabbed straight toward his neck.

His body quickly shifted to the side; Li Huowang saw the owner of the weapon, the character 'Prisoner' on that person's face indicated his identity.

They had finally confronted the exile soldiers surrounding from behind.

Li Huowang raised his sword and slashed with force; both person and weapon were severed completely.

"Break out! Only by charging through their encirclement do we have a chance to survive!"

Li Huowang holding his sword, charged toward these exile soldiers to kill.

The other senior and junior brothers and sisters dared not fall behind, quickly following up.

Facing the attacks of Li Huowang and others, the exile soldiers were clearly caught off guard.

They never expected that within an opera troupe, suddenly such a large group of people with such remarkable strength would dart out.

Overwhelming strength, however after a while, dozens of people were already lying on the ground.

But the exile soldiers immediately reacted, beginning to cooperate with each other, and using long spears to restrain.

Simply relying hard on numerical advantage, they withstood the attacks of Li Huowang and others.

"Cannot drag this on." Li Huowang took out iron pliers, reached into his mouth and clamped hard; accompanying the severe pain was an indescribable, extremely uncomfortable sourness.

Great Thousand Record unfolded, these two teeth quickly rolled and flew over. Exploding among the exile soldiers.

Dense white bone fragments drilled into everyone's skin, stirring up a chorus of screams; the exile soldiers who were just standing together instantly fell down in a large patch.

"Ling ling ling~!!" The piercing sound of Dao bells rang continuously.

Flying down, Lord You constantly traversed through the exile soldiers.

Attacking from both sides, the effect was quick; Li Huowang soon could see the dirt road leading away through the thinned exile soldiers.

"Finally—" This thought had just arisen when Li Huowang's whole body was wrapped in a killing intent that made one extremely bone-chilling.

This aura pressed down strongly on him, making him surrender, making him collapse.

Li Huowang's keen intuition sensed danger; he wanted to move, but at this moment his whole body was as if wrapped in ice blocks. Absolutely unable to move a bit.

A dragon cry sounded from Li Huowang's sword body, allowing him to break free from that aura's lock.

Just as Li Huowang rolled away from the spot, a piercing whistling sound quickly rang out.

A huge long halberd came rolling and flying over, heavily smashing onto the spot where Li Huowang had just been.

The splashing stones struck Li Huowang's face, causing intense pain.

As if sensing something, Li Huowang turned his head to look toward the path they came from.

"Da da da!" A tall horse covered entirely in heavy armor plates carried that female general, galloping and trampling people as she came.

Those four thick horse legs were dyed by blood into the same color as Li Huowang's Daoist robe.

As she approached, tremors surged into everyone's hearts; something controlled their bodies to kneel on the ground and surrender.

"Heh, finally forced out into the open, a spy from Si Qi." A hint of satisfaction lingered in the woman's voice.

"I say it again, this sword was gifted to me by another! I am not a spy from Si Qi!"

"You carry the You family's sword, I, Peng Longteng, say you are a spy, then you damn well are a spy! As for true or false, what business is that of mine?"
