Chapter 490: Chapter 222: Indecisive, Blood Guard Army, Sudden Turn of Events (2)
“Dong Zhong thanks the Young Lord for sparing his life.”
The trio of Yu Bin, who were just a step away from death, saw the five of Li Xuantiang halting, realizing they had a chance to cling onto life, and began kowtowing to Li Xuanyan, expressing unwavering loyalty.
Though their tone was filled with gratitude and sincerity, without a trace of deceit, the footsteps of the five from behind, drawing closer, did not stop.
Clearly, the five of Li Xuantiang did not believe in the trio’s surrender.
“Brother, don’t be fooled by a few sweet words. These three are bowing to you now out of fear of death, and will kneel to Hou Hu tomorrow for the same reason. Sparing such double-dealers will only lead to endless trouble!”
As soon as Li Xuantiang spoke, Li Xuandu followed suit.
“Second brother is right. The collusion between the three families of Yu Bin and Hou Hu is an undisputed fact. If we don’t kill them, how can we intimidate the other small factions?”
The rebuttal from his younger brothers made Li Xuanyan’s expression instantly darken.
But it wasn’t over yet, and what Li Xuanling did next brought a hint of anger to his face, and his expression instantly turned grim.
“Second brother, make your move, don’t waste time!”
Li Xuanling actually opened her mouth and gave the order.
And upon hearing his sister’s words, Li Xuantiang indeed took action.
“Move!”
Li Xuantiang thrust his snake spear forward, suddenly lunging at Yu Bin on the ground. The four Cold Resistance Level behind him also raised their weapons, pairing off and charging towards Bai Qiucheng and Dong Zhong.
The three kneeling on the ground evidently did not expect that even after Li Xuanyan spoke, they would still be unable to escape death, and in their panic, they forgot to evade.
The Young Lord Li Xuanyan, seeing the five of Li Xuantiang acting without regard for his order, his face turned ashen, and his fists clenched tightly.
“These three siblings are indeed decisive!”
In the shadows, Xia Hong had already drawn the Yi Blade from his back. Seeing that Yu Bin and the others were about to be slain, he hesitated for only a moment before ripping off the mask on his face, intending to rush out and save them.
Whoosh… whoosh… whoosh…
Suddenly, the sound of arrows reached his ears. Xia Hong, who had nearly rushed out halfway, abruptly stopped, and with a shocked expression, looked towards Yu Bin and the others.
Hundreds of blood-colored arrows came roaring through the air, targeting precisely Li Xuantiang and the four Cold Resistance Level behind him.
The snake spear in Li Xuantiang’s hand had already pierced through Yu Bin’s shoulder; the other four Cold Resistance Level had also driven Dong Zhong and Bai Qiucheng to a dead end. Feeling the overwhelming rain of arrows behind them, none of the five halted their actions.
Cold Resistance Level experts themselves are not afraid of arrows from the Earth-digging Realm.
But the arrows from behind were evidently very special.
Thud… thud…
“These arrows are problematic, they can’t be resisted head-on!”
One of the Cold Resistance Level, after being hit in the back by an arrow, quickly looked up and shouted to the other three and Li Xuantiang. At the same time, he gave up on slaying Bai Qiucheng, turning to use his long sword to deflect the incoming arrows.
“Damn!”
After cursing in his mind, Li Xuantiang looked at Yu Bin, whose shoulder he had pierced, gritted his teeth, and eventually withdrew his snake spear, turning around to slash at the incoming blood-colored arrows.
Clang… clang…
As countless arrows were struck down, the bodies of the five of Li Xuantiang were pushed back several meters by a few particularly thick iron arrows among them.
The strength in these blood arrows was clearly not something the Earth-digging Realm could produce.
In that case!
Li Xuantiang turned to look behind him, his gaze slightly intense.
“To think the master of Longyou would resort to such a preemptive trick, Li Tianhua is truly aging, and you at Long Mountain have no successors either!”
A slightly mocking and taunting voice came from behind, followed closely by the sound of a heavy, orderly march into everyone’s ears.
Step… step… step… step…
Walking slowly from behind was an army donned in red armor.
The army was over a thousand strong, each clad in red armor, wielding strong bows, with broadswords at their waists and a quiver of arrows on their backs full of blood-colored arrows.
Though the army kept marching forward, several hundred soldiers at the front remained in a bow-drawn and arrow-ready stance, clearly having fired the hundreds of arrows just now.
Step… step… step…
“Halt!”
At the forefront of the formation, a middle-aged man in blood-colored shimmering armor raised his broadsword and shouted forcefully, stopping the entire army abruptly, each laying their bows down.
The army halted, and the man slowly walked out, accompanied by seven other people who stood on either side of him. The eight gazed at the crowd with Li Xuanyan, with clear provocation in their eyes.
“Hou Tong is here too, it’s the army of Zhaoyang Camp, this Hou Hu is no simple man!”
In the shadows, Xia Hong, upon witnessing the thousand-strong army, his gaze immediately turned serious. Recognizing Hou Tong among them, whom he had seen before at the Beehive, he immediately realized the army’s identity.
This Hou Hu had actually brought his army along.
Moreover, from the previous mocking tone, Hou Hu had clearly seen through the true intention of the Long Mountain alliance this time.
In light of this, this man becomes even more formidable…
“It was rumored that Zhaoyang raised an army of a thousand Blood Guards. Previously, I didn’t take it seriously, but now, it seems you have truly gained momentum!”
Li Xuantiang spoke with a casual tone, but the solemn expression that appeared when he mentioned the Blood Guard Army was enough to demonstrate his fear.
