Chapter 1380: Ultimate Battle (3)
Editor: Atlas Studios
The fifth attack of the Hundred Flowers Palace had just stopped.
From noon onwards, Xiahou Zheng led the various sects to attack the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Unlike the night attack on the Hundred Flowers Palace last time, almost all the sects on the island were mobilized this time.
However, some sects were far away and were still on their way.
Xiahou Zheng looked at the various sects that had retreated again and could not help but clench his fists. “Where did the people of the Hundred Flowers Palace learn these things? They actually have the same fighting style as the Black-armored Guards of the Western Jin! And those spears and shields… where did they come from?”
The weapons and shield were provided by Su Xiaoxiao.
Back then, during the battle with the Yan Kingdom at Broken North Pass, she had confiscated many weapons.
Some of it was given to her grandfather’s army and her own Crimson Shadow Army. She packed the rest into the pharmacy.
When she moved them out, it caused quite a commotion. Su Xiaoxiao only said that Lu Aotian had secretly transported it over overnight.
The Slave Killer asked, “Why didn’t I know?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’ll give you a day off.”
The curiosity of the Slave Killer died.
As for the array formations of these Black-armored Guards, they were naturally trained by Wei Qing without sleep or rest.
The training period was still shallow and could not be compared to a true Black-armored guard. Fortunately, the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace were strong in martial arts and execution, so they had absolute trust in Wei Qing.
Wei Qing personally commanded the array formation, and the effect was not bad.
The four elders looked at the various sects that had been repelled for the fifth time and heaved a sigh of relief again.
Elder Feng sighed. “This Second Young Master Wei doesn’t show his strength. We underestimated him.”
Elder Yue and Elder Qi also agreed sincerely.
Elder Qi said, “This is the first time I’ve seen such a fighting style. Everyone seems to be much stronger.”
In the past, they had fought one by one and often suffered heavy casualties. Now that they were fighting together, it was somewhat similar to the Seven Absolutes Formation of the Seven Absolutes Sect, but it was much larger and more exquisite.
Elder Yi said, “He used the art of war. Although these large sects in the martial world have many people, they are like to be in state of disunity in front of the Wei family, who use troops like gods.”
After a pause, Elder Yi frowned and said, “However, we can’t let our guard down. Xiahou Yi will definitely have a backup plan.”
–
In the City Lord Manor, a pigeon landed on Xiahou Yi’s wheelchair.
Xiahou Yi took off the note tied to its leg and opened it to take a look. His expression did not change much.
The gray-clothed swordsman behind him glanced at the note and smiled faintly. “Formation, Black-armored guard. Looks like Wei Qing is here. As expected of someone whom the Death Island couldn’t trap. Do you need me to do anything, City Lord Xiahou?”
Xiahou Yi said expressionlessly, “No need. I have other arrangements for you.”
–
Night fell.
The disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace had fought continuously and were exhausted. At this moment, they were sitting on the grass of the Hundred Flowers Palace to recover.
Su Xiaoxiao, Elder Qi, and Xing’er finished treating the injured disciples and found Wei Qing, who was guarding the temporary terrace.
“Second Brother!”
Su Xiaoxiao greeted him.
In front of Wei Qing was a sand table with small flags marking the situation of the various sects.
“Eat something.”
Su Xiaoxiao placed a box of snacks on the table. “You haven’t slept for two days.”
Wei Qing smiled and said readily, “Okay.”
He poured Su Xiaoxiao a cup of tea first. “You’re tired too. Sit down and rest for a while.”
“I’m not tired.”
This was the easiest battle she had fought. Before she could do anything, those sects were repelled by her second brother’s “Black armored Guards”.
“Second Brother, when will their next attack be?”
Previously, they had attacked five times. Other than the first time being sudden, Wei Qing had calculated the time and angle of the next four attacks.
“They won’t attack again.” Wei Qing looked at the flag on the sand table and said, “Next, they’ll avoid the Hundred Flower Palace’s array and use experts to break us one by one.”
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. “Dad and Mother Palace Lord aren’t around. Isn’t the Hundred Flowers Palace in danger?”
Wei Qing nodded. “Yes.”
Wei Qing predicted things like a god.
In less than half an hour, the disciples of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion threw poisonous smoke at the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Elder Yi made a prompt decision. “Hold your breath!”
The disciples hurriedly held their breaths, but there was too much poisonous smoke. Many disciples still inhaled it.
Seeing the disciples beside them fall one after another, the elders felt their hearts ache!
These were all children they had watched grow up!
Su Xiaoxiao jumped down and passed by a rockery. She used the cover to enter the pharmacy and took out a mask and antidote pills.
However, there was a limited number of them. Most disciples could only choose to retreat to a safe place.
This gave Xiahou Zheng a chance to attack.
Previously, he did not do this because the poisonous smoke did not differentiate between friend and foe. While it poisoned the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace, it would also poison the disciples of the various large sects.
At this moment, Xiahou Zheng only let the experts who had taken the antidote in. He was not afraid of being accidentally injured by the poisonous smoke.
The new Pavilion Master of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion and the Sect Master of the Lotus Flower Sect were the first to enter with their qinggong. Right on the heels of them were the Sect Master of the Flying Knife Sect, the Sky Mountain Sect, the Deputy Hall Master of the Heavenly Jade Hall, Lu Aotian, and more than ten other sects.
Elder Yi stepped forward with a walking stick that was taller than him and looked at the two strongest enemies present. “Pavilion Master Lou, Sect Master Lian, I’ll meet the two of you today!”
Her walking stick was the same as Feng Wuchang’s. It was not that it was not good at walking, but it was a weapon.
Sect Master Lian smiled coldly. “Since Elder Yi is going to enlighten us, we won’t stand on ceremony!”
The three of them quickly fought.
Elder Feng stopped the sect master of the Sky Mountain Sect and the Sect Master of the Flying Knife Sect. “Where do the two of you want to go?”
Elder Yue, Elder Qi, the Deputy Hall Master of the Heavenly Jade Hall, and the others fought.
On the surface, Lu Aotian was fighting with the elders of the Hundred Flowers Palace, but he was actually stabbing his “allies” in the back. He either knocked down or tripped one.
The new Sect Master of the Seven Absolutes Sect was furious. “Lu Aotian, whose side are you on?”
“Of course, I’m on your side! Take my punch!”
Lu Aotian punched out fiercely.
Then… it hit the shoulder of the Saintess who descended from the sky.
The Saintess tilted her head and looked at him.
Lu Aotian winked and gritted his teeth. “At least cooperate! Otherwise, how can I act?”
The Saintess said, “Oh.”
The Saintess took a step back and flew out in an extremely exaggerated manner. She acted in the vein of Xiaohu and lay on the ground without moving.
Lu Aotian was speechless.
More and more experts surged in.
Lu Aotian and the four elders felt the strain.
Suddenly, two figures ran over from different directions.
One was the Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty, Yuwen Xi, and the other was the current Sect Master of the Walkabout Sect, Yu Weiran.
Lotus Sect Master Lian glanced at her coldly. “The Princess of the Western Jin is really hiding in the Hundred Flowers Palace. What else does your Hundred Flowers Palace have to say?”
“It’s none of your business!”
Yuwen Xi lashed out at her.
Lotus Sect Master Lian jumped.
Elder Yi took the opportunity to hit her down with her walking stick!
Lotus Sect Master Lian fell heavily and almost vomited blood from the pain.
The Pavilion Master of the Thousand Chance Pavilion looked at Yu Weiran. “Is your Walkabout Sect going to completely become enemies with the City Lord?”
Yu Weiran pointed her sword and said, “Our Walkabout Sect has never recognized Xiahou Yi as the City Lord!”
