Chapter 1043: Rakshasa ‘s Wrath
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the dense forest, an intense battle was erupting.
As the deputy commander of the Jinwu Guards had long experienced the power of the Black-armored Guards, he was scared out of his wits when the Black-armored Guards appeared. He could not go forward to fight at all.
He hid on a big tree and blocked himself with the lush branches.
Through the gaps in the leaves, he saw the 300 Black-armored Guards in a strange formation. The Ghost Shadow Guards barged in as if they had entered a
beast’s mouth.
Their defense was impeccable.
With a palm strike from the Ghost Shadow Guard, more than ten people bore the burden of internal strength, greatly reducing the possibility of being injured.
In addition, their shields seemed to be specially made and actually had mechanisms.
The Ghost Shadow Guard’s longsword slashed onto the shield and was instantly twisted into pieces by the spinning blades!
The deputy commander of the Jinwu Guards did not notice this during the day. It was probably because the Jinwu Guards were not qualified in their eyes.
The more he looked, the more frightened he became. A few Ghost Shadow Guards, who did not know much about mechanisms, accidentally collided with the shield and were instantly badly mangled.
He almost peed in his pants!
These Black-armored Guards were too terrifying!
Not only were all of them skilled in martial arts, but they were also proficient in arrays and mechanisms. Who could withstand this?
The Ghost Shadow Guards’ advantage was completely restrained.
The cooperation between each array was flawless. No matter which direction the Ghost Shadow Guards attacked from, they could not break their defense.
When they went to hunt the Ghost Shadow Guards, the latter often could not retreat unscathed.
“Which expert trained the army and array formation? They’re completely the nemesis of the Ghost Shadow Guards…
The commander of the Jinwu soldiers felt that his defeat was not in vain.
In fact, it was already good enough that he could survive.
Zong Zhengming hid behind a big tree with Xie Jinnian.
He watched as his Ghost Shadow Guards fell one after another, and an unconcealable shock surged in his eyes.
30 Ghost Shadow Guards could definitely deal with 300 troops.
How could he be at a disadvantage?
The Ghost Shadow Guards had all undergone very strict training. Their morale would not be low just because their leader fell. Their combat strength could be unleashed to the limit under any circ.u.mstances.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Zongzheng Ming would never believe that the invincible Ghost Shadow Guards would be defeated by a mere 300 cavalry!
The strength of the Black-armored Guards exceeded everyone’s imagination.
The Ghost Shadow Guards swore to protect their master and would not retreat.
However, they could not really let their master fall into the hands of this group of cavalry.
The Ghost Shadow Guards risked their lives to escort their two most powerful companions out of the array.
The two of them arrived in front of Zong Zhengming. One of them said, “Your
Majesty, I’ll escort you and the Empress Dowager away!”
The horses were let go by Wei Ting. They only caught five horses.
Zongzheng Ming and Xie Jinnian each had a horse, and the two Ghost Shadow Guards each rode a horse. One of them brought the Empress Dowager.
There was only one horse left. Zong Zhengming frowned and looked at Cheng Lian, who was trembling in fear in the carriage.
The commander of the Jinwu Guards suddenly used his qinggong to rush over. He cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, let me escort you away!” Zong Zhengming nodded.
However, the moment the commander of the Jinwu Guards got on the horse, a spear from the array chased after him and sent him flying!
Seeing this, the Ghost Shadow Guard immediately whipped Zongzheng Ming’s horse.
The horse quickly galloped.
Ghostfear was about to chase after him when Wei Liulang ran over wetly. “Brother! Little Seven is missing!”
Ghostfear’s expression darkened. He looked coldly at Zongzheng Ming and the others who were gradually leaving. He clenched his fists and said to Wei
Liulang, “Let’s go!”
The two of them arrived at the sh.o.r.e and jumped into the stream.
Zongzheng Ming sped all the way until he vomited on the horse a few times, but he did not dare to stop.
The sky gradually turned cold.
As they reached a canyon, Zongzheng Ming felt really helpless. Xie Jinnian asked the team to stop for a moment.
Xie Jinnian helped Zongzheng Ming off the horse.
Zongzheng Ming’s face was pale and his head was covered in dust. “Have they caught up?”
A Ghost Shadow Guard said, “Your Majesty, they didn’t chase us.”
“They didn’t chase after us?” Zong Zhengming frowned curiously. “Why didn’t he chase after us
The Ghost Shadow Guard said, “They’re probably being held back by our people.”
Zong Zhengming nodded slightly. This was the only explanation.
The Empress Dowager was still in his hands. Zongzheng Wei would never let him off kindly.
Xie Jinnian looked at the endless mountain range and said, “Your Majesty, I’m afraid we can’t walk on the official road. This place is only seven to eight miles away from the Yun County ferry. Why don’t we board the ship from there and go through the Moon River to meet the navy of the Black Tortoise, Vermillion Bird, and Yellow Dragon tribes?”
When Zongzheng Ming heard that this plan was feasible, he rested for a moment and continued to ride forward.
However, what he did not expect was that when they rushed to the ferry, they did not see any ships. Instead, they saw a white-robed man wearing a jade mask on the bamboo row on the riverbank.
The man held a sword in his hand and looked at them with killing intent, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Zong Zhengming frowned.
Xie Jinnian looked at the ther party deeply.
Two Ghost Shadow Guards walked forward and blocked Zongzheng Ming and Xie Jinnian behind them. They handed the Empress Dowager, whose sleeping acupoint had been tapped, to Xie Jinnian.
One of them pulled out his sword, and the other pulled out his ring-headed saber.
The Ghost Shadow Guard holding the sword asked the white-robed man, “Who are you?”
Su Xuan said calmly, “The person who is killing you.”
The other Ghost Shadow Guard raised his ring-headed saber. “You have a death wish!”
The two of them attacked Su Xuan.
Su Xuan jumped up and pulled out the Rakshasa Sword. A cold light instantly flashed in front of the two of them.
The two of them were dazzled and instinctively turned their heads.
Su Xuan slashed down!
The two of them moved when they heard the wind and blocked this sword with their weapons in time.
The other party looked very young. At first, the two of them did not take him seriously.
The internal force coming from the weapon actually made their arms go numb.
Although it was only for an instant, it was enough to make the two of them wary.
The two of them exchanged glances. One attacked the white-robed man’s face while the other swept across the white-robed man’s lower body. Su Xuan held the Rakshasa Sword with both hands and turned around.
Clang!
The Ghost Shadow Guard’s longsword pierced the blade of the Rakshasa Sword, and the intense collision created a series of sparks.
At the same time, another Ghost Shadow Guard slashed at Su Xuan’s ankle.
Su Xuan stomped the ring-headed saber under his feet!
The Ghost Shadow Guards were shocked.
What a fast movement technique!
Su Xuan did not stop at all. He did a backflip and kicked the two of them with his toes.
When he knelt on one knee and landed steadily on the ground, the two of them were also forced back a few steps.
The two of them frowned fiercely.
Today was really too strange.
It was fine if they encountered a powerful sacrificial soldier in the forest, but why did they encounter such a good fighter at the ferry?
Especially since this person was so young!
What kind of freaking martial arts anomaly was this!
Zongzhen Ming was also very troubled.
He had planned for 30 years, but Zongzheng Wei only came out for five days and forced him out of the palace.
He wondered where Zongzheng Wei had invited these strange troops and experts.
Xie Jinnian looked at the longsword in Su Xuan’s hand and recognized him.
“Once the Rakshasa Sword is out, the Yama Hall will be opened. He’s the
Jade-faced Rakshasa.”
“What?” Zongzheng Ming’s expression changed!
When he looked at the white-robed man again, the white-robed man’s sword had already pierced through the Ghost Shadow Guard’s heart. Another Ghost Shadow Guard attacked from behind.
He drew his sword and slashed back without looking back.
The second Ghost Shadow Guard’s ring-headed saber froze in midair and fell with a clang. He also fell in a daze, hitting the bamboo raft and falling into the water.
Su Xuan held the dripping blood Rakshasa Sword, his eyes bloodthirsty, looking like an Asura who had returned from purgatory. He walked towards Zongzheng Ming step by step..
