C373 They Would Rather Die than Retreat
C373 They Would Rather Die than Retreat
As the saying goes, one is afraid of being unreasonable, while the other is afraid of not wanting his own life.
The reason why White-robed Man took the opportunity to barge into Lou Lan was not to fight with Huhee Shanyu with his life on the line. Therefore, even if he suffered some minor injuries in the fight, he could still take the opportunity to cut Lou Lan's wrist off. However, White-robed Man was not willing to pay the price and could only retreat.
White-robed Man retreated, but Huhee Shanyu roared and pounced forward like a shadow.
From the moment White-robed Man appeared, more than a thousand guards had not been able to stop his advance, but he had suffered innumerable casualties.
However, Huhee Shanyu's one move forced him back four meters — this small victory greatly encouraged the courage of the guards. They all roared, stamped their feet hard, patted their weapons, and cheered Huhee Shanyu on.
At the same time, Huhee Shanyu was also very confident: As long as you're afraid of getting hurt, everything will be fine!
While Huhee Shanyu was fighting to the death with his White-robed Man, a group of people on horseback rushed over from the long street.
Those with good eyes, upon seeing the person at the very front, immediately cried out in joy, "High Priest, the High Priest of Temple of Forest is here to assist!"
The person who came was none other than High Priest Tuoba Qianjun.
Following Tuoba Qianjun were seven other monks with shiny foreheads. Each of them was holding a Qi Mei Staff and riding on horseback with their sleeves fluttering like they were riding on the wind.
In addition, there were also two men in modern camouflage clothing, mixed in with the group of monks.
According to the ancestor system of Wu Iron and Steel, Tuoba Qianjun could only come at night when he came to King of Loulan Palace.
However, Lou Lan was currently under threat from a powerful mysterious enemy. Tuoba Qianjun could no longer be bothered with the ancestral system and rushed over with his people.
The seven monks he led were not only his successors, but also emissaries of Temple of Forest. Their duty was to serve Snake God, and they had an extraordinary status within King of Loulanguo.
When he heard the bell ringing, Tuoba Qianjun's first reaction was: The scene from sixty years ago had happened again. Lou Lan's national luck was going to be put to a tough test.
Snake God bless, I hope Huhee Shanyu can stop the enemy, and give me time to win in time!
Along the way, Tuoba Qianjun prayed in his heart.
Maybe Snake God had really awakened, when Tuoba Qianjun rushed to the palace square, he immediately saw Huhee Shanyu crazily taking the initiative to attack a White-robed Man!
Even though dozens of palace guards were already lying on the plaza, Tuoba Qianjun was still relieved when he saw that the invading enemy was desperately blocked by Huhee Shanyu. He immediately shouted at the monks, "Go, assemble the formation!"
Sixty years ago, after the High Priest of Temple of Forest personally experienced that disastrous lesson, in order to avoid similar suffering, he and King of Loulan jointly developed a set of formation: the Northern Dipper Death Reaching Formation.
The greatest strength of this formation was not killing, but entangling and fighting.
To put it bluntly, it was to stall for time.
Because of this, the person in charge of setting up the array held a wooden stick with the eyebrows.
Wood represented an abundant green life force within the five elements. It belonged to the Gate of Life, and symbolized the source of all life.
The seven monks answered and jumped down from their horses like giant birds. They waved their sticks and rushed towards White-robed Man.
The monk had just rushed to the front of White-robed Man, when he heard Huhee Shanyu scream miserably. His body flew backwards and landed heavily on the stairs, blood spewing out of his mouth!
Immediately, three to five guards rushed forward to protect him.
Huhee Shanyu's face was like golden paper, not caring about his own injuries at all. He pointed at White-robed Man and screamed, "Don't worry about me, stop him!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh. The wooden sticks carried by the seven Temple of Forest envoys emitted whistling sounds as they blocked the path of the White-robed Man.
White-robed Man stood quietly in the center of the field, his head slightly bowed as though he did not see the monks, not moving at all.
He did not move, and the monks did not take the initiative to attack. They only brandished their wooden sticks and surrounded him in the direction of the Big Dipper, stepping on the Gate of Life, entering the Door of Door, and leaving the Door of Doom to move like a windmill: The greatest power of this formation was not to attack, but to fight.
The two people who came with Tuoba Qianjun in modern clothing were naturally Tieh Tu and Ye Xinshang.
Originally, there was no need for them to get involved in this mess. However, they were worried about Gao Fei's safety, so they asked to come along as well.
Tuoba Qianjun was extremely anxious, so he agreed without thinking too much.
After the two of them followed Tuoba Qianjun out of the forest, they were first shocked by the seven suns in the sky, the prosperity of Wu Iron and Steel. Like Gao Fei, they never dreamed that there would be so many suns in the sky, and so many people living here.
They wanted to know what was going on, but Tuoba Qianjun and the rest didn't have the time to explain this to them.
When Tieh Tu and the other two saw the majestic palace with thousands of guards in ancient battle robes, they were completely stunned, wondering if they were dreaming, or if they were transported to the ancient White-robed Man, where they were surrounded by seven monks.
Watching White-robed Man swooping towards the monks like an eagle soaring through the sky, the conceited Tieh Tu and Ye Xinshang felt their palms go cold. There was actually such a fighting master in this world!?
Ye Xinshang looked at the guards on the ground and wondered: Could it be that the people in the Temple did not know how scary modern weapons were? They did not know how to fight back against the High Priest.
As if they were dreaming, Tieh Tu and Ye Xinshang could only talk about the seven monks and the White-robed Man.
When White-robed Man finally launched an attack, the seven of them suddenly sped up their footsteps and continuously jumped around. They did not even try to fight him head on, and the seven sticks turned into shadows of sticks, forming a wall. No matter where he rushed to, they would be able to successfully block him.
Dang, the hurried meridian bell, after the seven monks had formed the Big Dipper Formation, once again became low and slow.
At this moment, the weakest moment of King of Loulan's body had already passed halfway.
However, White-robed Man did not become impatient because of this. It seemed that he had enough confidence to break this formation and charge into the palace to kill Queen of Loulan in the next few days.
When the guards saw that the divine hall envoys had set up a formation to block the White-robed Man, joy appeared on their faces. They felt that the monks should be very confident in blocking the enemy for an hour.
However, Tuoba Qianjun, whose face was covered by a black veil, was scared because he saw that White-robed Man, who appeared to be helpless against the Seven Stars Killing Array, was only testing the method of dodging the rod wall the moment he came into contact with it!
Once he detects the truth of the Seven Stars Array, he will quickly launch a fatal attack!
Tuoba Qianjun guessed right. Just when all the guards heaved a sigh of relief, White-robed Man suddenly let out a long roar and jumped up from the ground. His body spun quickly in the air like a top, as if he could jump out of the Seven Stars Arrays in a second.
Subconsciously, the seven monks also shouted in unison and leaped up with their sticks held high. However, at this moment, Tuoba Qianjun shouted: "Quick, land!"
Before Tuoba Qianjun finished his sentence, White-robed Man still let out a loud and clear laugh. He swung his white robe and smashed it onto a monk's chest.
"Ah!
The monk screamed miserably, blood spurting out of his mouth. The wooden stick let go of his hand and flew straight to the top of the black stairs.
After fighting with the seven monks for a while, White-robed Man found out their weakness. Borrowing them to follow him, he jumped into the sky and when the formation started to dissipate, he acted in time and sent one of the monks flying.
The Big Dipper needed seven people to activate the array. With one person empty, the array formation was broken. The remaining six monks were no different from the ordinary guards.
After seeing one of his subordinates sent flying, Tuoba Qianjun roared and leaped up from his horse towards the group of warriors.
He hoped that he could make up for his mistake in time and activate the formation before the second subordinate was harmed.
Unfortunately, the White-robed Man did not give Tuoba Qianjun the chance to recover. Amidst the long howls, just like ghosts and ghosts under the sun, they quickly swayed left and right, sending another two monks flying.
After the three were sent flying, even if Tuoba Qianjun could get there in time, he wouldn't be able to turn the situation around and he wouldn't be able to reorganize the formation.
"Ha, ha, ha!"
After sending three monks flying, White-robed Man threw his head back and laughed loudly. His voice was sonorous and it sounded like metal rubbing against each other, "Breaking the formation, those who want to live, scram!"
"I'd rather die than retreat!"
Jack shouted loudly, led his disciples and rushed towards White-robed Man like crazy.
It was a pity that the White-robed Man's martial arts were too high. Even though it was not as good as King of Loulan's, it was still easy to deal with a few young monks.
White-robed Man dodged Tuoba Qianjun's attack and moved quickly. In an instant, he beat the other four monks up and only Tuoba Qianjun was left.
Those guards, they had personally witnessed from the Temple of Forest, after they had not lasted for long before they were beaten to a pulp, and knew that their current situation was completely ruined. Today, no matter what, they wouldn't be able to stop the White-robed Man.
Even the injured Huhee Shanyu thought so.
When faced with an extremely powerful enemy, once a person lost their will to fight, the only thing they could do was let others slaughter them as they pleased.
"You scram too!"
White-robed Man shouted in a low voice. Two white sleeves like two huge soft whips, mixed with strong wind, smashed towards Tuoba Qianjun.
"They would rather die than retreat!"
Tuoba Qianjun shouted again and stubbornly charged towards White-robed Man. However, before he finished speaking, the Left Rib in his chest was struck by a sleeve. Following his scream, his body flew up and smashed towards the stairs.
Although Tuoba Qianjun was the host of Temple of Forest and the high priest of Wu Tie Nation, his martial arts skills were not his forte and could not even compare to his seven disciples. Thus, he could not resist the White-robed Man's fatal strike!
"Ah!
The next moment, the back of Tuoba Qianjun's head was about to fall heavily onto the stairs, creating ten thousand blossoming flowers. Huhee Shanyu and the others exclaimed in unison, but they were too late to save him.
At this moment, a person leaped like a leopard. Before Tuoba Qianjun's head touched the stairs, someone grabbed his right ankle and threw him backwards!
Tuoba Qianjun's body, which weighed one hundred and seventy kilograms, flew backwards like a cannonball.
Without waiting for Huhee Shanyu to react, another Shadow soared into the sky and grabbed Tuoba Qianjun. With a few quick turns in the air, it reduced the force of Huhee Shanyu's smash and lightly landed on the ground.
