This blade, no one could help her deflect it.
Although Ming Hong was also rushing over, the distance was too great. At Ming Hong's speed, he was nowhere near a tenth as fast as the blade's wind.
Wei Qiong knew she could not dodge it.
"Ming Hong, swear to His Highness your unwavering loyalty!"
Wei Qiong closed her eyes, awaiting death.
Ming Hong's heart pounded with fear, and he coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood in his haste!
"General!"
*Clang!*
The anticipated pain did not arrive!
Wei Qiong suddenly opened her eyes and saw Long Tianliu standing not far in front of her, her face filled with astonishment.
Soldiers nearby were about to attack, and she waved her hand casually...
But unexpectedly, with another *clang*, something struck her great saber.
If Long Tianliu's power had not been sufficiently profound, the force of this blow would have likely sent her great saber flying from her hand!
The two soldiers' long swords were already upon them.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Long Tianliu was still somewhat stunned, and Chang Ming quickly drew his sword to meet the threat.
But unexpectedly, this time, it was a *bang*.
A bloom of blood appeared on Chang Ming's forehead.
He instantly fell into a pool of blood, his life extinguished.
Another *bang*!
This time, Long Tianliu had recovered from her shock. With a shift of her feet, she leaped up.
However, her arm still felt a searing pain.
The hidden weapon had grazed her arm, even piercing her armor!
"Your Highness..." Wei Qiong scrambled to her feet and looked at Chu Qianli, who had rushed to her side, her face filled with emotion.
"Your Highness, you..."
Just now, it was she who had intervened, deflecting Long Tianliu's blade?
But Chu Qianli's power was nowhere near Long Tianliu's. How had her hidden weapon managed to deflect Long Tianliu's great saber?
It was simply unbelievable...
"General!" Ming Hong rushed over, supporting Wei Qiong. His eyes reddened, and he nearly burst into tears.
He had almost lost his general...
Chu Qianli, seeing this, couldn't help but curve her lips into a smile. "Wei Qiong, it seems your little Ming Hong is devoted to you until death!"
Wei Qiong was slightly taken aback. She had never considered such a thing about Ming Hong.
Ming Hong was still too young, only in his early twenties, very much a youth.
But she was already over thirty. How could she have imagined that a young man would have such feelings for her?
Yet, Ming Hong now truly looked as if he had just survived a life-or-death ordeal.
Even though he blushed at Chu Qianli's words, his gaze towards Wei Qiong was filled with deep affection and relief.
Relief that his general was still alive.
This child...
"As for love, we can discuss it after we win this battle!"
Chu Qianli leaped up and quickly landed not far in front of Long Tianliu.
Her eyes were not on Long Tianliu, but on the great saber in her hand.
The Flying Flow Saber!
The system had just given her a notification: this great saber was worth three hundred thousand!
Money!
Chu Qianli's eyes sparkled with symbols of wealth!
So much money!
Long Tianliu narrowed her eyes, staring at the short spear in Chu Qianli's hand.
Just now, it was this hidden weapon that had twice deflected her great saber and killed Chang Ming in one move?
Although Chang Ming was far from her equal, he was still a top-tier master.
Yet, under Chu Qianli's hidden weapon, he couldn't even last one move!
However, the most important thing was that Chang Ming had been caught off guard.
And now, she was already prepared to defend herself.
"A'li!" Fu Long also arrived, standing on Chu Qianli's flanks with Wei Qiong and Ming Hong.
"Your Highness, be careful, her great saber is very powerful," Wei Qiong immediately warned. "I couldn't even withstand her for one move just now!"
Fu Long's expression immediately turned grim.
Long Ziyue was on his way. Chu Qianli said sternly, "Lead the army and continue to retreat!"
Long Ziyue wanted to fight alongside them, but military orders were like mountains!
He could only cast a deep glance at them, turn around, and lead the army to continue retreating deeper into the ravine.
The two armies continued to advance deeper into the ravine.
And the royal troops on both sides of the ravine also moved along the mountainside, heading towards the position above Long Tianliu's army.
It looked less like they were confronting Chu Qianli's army and more like they were surrounding Long Tianliu's forces.
Long Tianliu glanced at them and snorted coldly. "So, the royal troops I had hidden inside have all been eliminated by you?"
Those wearing royal army uniforms were likely Chu Qianli's soldiers in disguise!
But she paid no attention to it at the moment.
"Do you think a mere few thousand men can do anything to my army?"
"You'll know soon enough what they can do," Chu Qianli replied.
The royal troops they had impersonated had completely occupied the mountainside above Long Tianliu's army.
Wei Qiong and Ming Hong were also somewhat puzzled.
As Long Tianliu had said, even if they surrounded their army, a mere few thousand men seemed to have little effect.
Even if they wanted to throw stones down from the mountainside, it was not an easy task.
Firstly, where would they find enough stones to injure the enemy in a short time, and secondly, with such numbers, they couldn't possibly harm the enemy's core.
Long Tianliu's army numbered at least a hundred thousand!
However, after Chu Qianli glanced at her soldiers who had reached the enemy's position above, she suddenly raised her hand.
A Sky-Piercing Arrow!
No! It didn't look like their usual Sky-Piercing Arrow! But it seemed to have an even better effect than the Sky-Piercing Arrow.
With a *bang*, the object exploded in mid-air.
After a loud explosion, the soldiers surrounding the mountainside above the enemy army shouted in unison, "Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Long Tianliu almost laughed!
Kill?
With just these few thousand men?
To charge down and annihilate her army? It was a joke!
But unexpectedly, Chu Qianli's soldiers did not charge down. Instead, many of them were holding something and throwing it forcefully into the ravine?
*Rumble!*
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
The sound of explosions echoed!
The army in the ravine was instantly thrown into chaos.
What was this?
Even Long Ziyue, who had led the army to retreat deeper into the ravine, couldn't help but be shocked when he looked back.
After the shock came excitement!
What was that? Thunderclap bombs?
No! Thunderclap bombs didn't have such immense power.
What exactly was this?
Fu Long also looked at Chu Qianli.
Only Chu Qianli remained expressionless, as calm as ever.
It was the bomb ingredients that her senior brother had sent her earlier.
When she was alive in the 21st century, she had researched them with her brothers in the laboratory, and these were the remaining raw materials.
These past few days, she had been processing them every night.
Although the quantity was not large, it was enough to make Long Tianliu's army lose its courage!
After a round of explosions, the soldiers on the mountainside picked up even stranger objects and continued to throw them.
There were also explosions, but this time there were no flames, only white smoke.
But the soldiers below covered their eyes and screamed...
