Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 282 The outer city is broken and the sky’s eyes are opened!

inner city.

Jiang Ning passed through the roofs of the inner city like a gust of wind or a flash of lightning.

He has already reached the upper limit of his speed.

In an instant, it was dozens of feet away.

Two hundred feet in one breath.

He looked at the flares exploding above his head and did not dare to slack off at all.

Because as far as he knew, this large flare raised at the city gate was enough to light up the night sky, and the flare that could alert the entire county would only be raised in extremely urgent situations.

The sound of war drums further indicated that something had happened at the west gate.

And it is a big event, perhaps an army attacking a city.

Because the sounding of large flares and war drums were of the same type as the beacon fires in the previous life.

Although he racked his brains, he couldn't understand why there was a large army attacking the city from the west gate, which led to the raising of large flares and the beating of war drums.

But since the war drums have been beaten and large flares have been launched into the sky, it is very likely that the army will attack the city.

This made him think of some information he had seen before.

In the nine provinces of Daxia, there have been some scattered uprisings since the past few years.

Although they were quickly suppressed, the rebel forces always sprang up like mushrooms after rain and could not be wiped out.

As soon as one place was wiped out, another place raised its flag and started a rebellion.

In the past year, uprisings and rebellions have occurred frequently.

Especially in the previous year, incidents of uprising and rebellion became more frequent.

In Zeshan Prefecture, where Luoshui County is located, the largest uprising was the rebellion of the Black Lotus Sect.

The Black Lotus Cult at the time started a rebellion, and at its peak, the rebellion started in Daming Prefecture, and then swept through the two prefectures and affected seven counties.

At that time, among the two prefectures and seven counties under its jurisdiction, countless counties were breached and turned into hell.

Among the four prefectures and thirty-six counties of Zeshan Prefecture, the rebellion of the Black Lotus Sect was the most massive and widespread rebellion.

But it does not mean that there are no other rebellions in Zeshan Prefecture except the rebellion of the Black Lotus Sect.

According to the summary of past intelligence Jiang Ning received from the Inspection Office, there have been more than a dozen rebellions of varying sizes in Zeshan Prefecture over the past year.

"Could it be that because of the long drought before, the people in a certain place could not survive, and the rebellion that was set off has now spread to Luoshui County?"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Jiang Ning shook his head secretly.

"No, the mountains are covered with snow. How can an ordinary person survive and reach Luoshui County in such an environment?"

Immediately, he looked at the city wall in the distance.

At his speed of two hundred feet in one breath, the towering walls of the inner city could be seen in the distance at the end of his sight.

Luoshui County is divided into inner city and outer city.

If the outer city is breached, the inner city can still be defended.

Therefore, the inner city is safer and the residents there are either rich or noble.

This also resulted in the inner city's defense being stronger, the city walls being taller, and the city gates being thicker.

After all, this concerns the lives and property of those powerful people in the inner city.

They naturally won't be stingy in this regard.

Immediately, his eyes narrowed slightly.

In an instant, I saw some panicked soldiers on the city wall, and people running back and forth, moving supplies.

Seeing this scene, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Could it be that the West City Gate has been breached?"

At this moment, he noticed that the war drums beating at the west gate had suddenly stopped.

thump—

dong dong——

dong dong dong-

At this moment, he saw a tall and burly man beating the war drum in front of the towering wall of the inner city.

The sound of drums was like thunder, resounding throughout the inner and outer cities, and becoming more and more rapid.

Seeing this scene, his heart became a little heavy.

"Has the outer city been breached?!"

As the thought came to his mind, his speed increased again and his body became even faster.

But even the speed he burst out at this moment has far exceeded the speed of high-speed rail in his previous life.

But still no waves were caused.

There seemed to be no resistance to the air in front of him.

At this moment, he seemed to have merged with the wind and the air.

This is also the reason why his speed can reach such a terrifying speed.

Although he was not without wind resistance at this moment, his body seemed to blend into the wind, so the wind resistance was several times less than that of an ordinary person.

Hearing the whirling sound coming from his ears, Jiang Ning's figure quickly approached the junction of the inner and outer cities.

After a while.

With all his strength, Jiang Ning had already crossed more than ten kilometers and arrived at the wall of the inner city.

"Who is it!!" The garrison officer shouted as he saw a shadow passing over the rooftop under the reflection of the bright moon and rapidly approaching the inner city wall.

next moment.

Before he could react.

Then I saw the afterimage coming to the inner side of the 90-degree angle of the city wall, and then rising straight up.

It jumped over his head in an instant.

Zheng——

The garrison officer drew his sword instantly.

The clear sound of the sword being unsheathed and his scolding immediately attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers on the city wall.

Someone immediately drew his sword and stared at the figure that soared into the air and then slowly landed on the city wall.

Seeing the figure floating down like catkins, the hearts of several officers with extraordinary martial arts skills and profound insights suddenly froze.

The powerful ability to stay in the air despite free fall made them realize that the person coming was extremely powerful.

If this figure had not come from the direction of the inner city, they might have already swung their swords forward at this moment, instead of just drawing their swords halfway.

"Commander Jiang!" When Jiang Ning's figure landed, someone instantly recognized the identity of the visitor, sheathed his sword immediately, and saluted respectfully.

The other officers were also awakened instantly.

He was repeatedly discouraged and alert, and bowed respectfully.

"Meet Commander Jiang!"

"Greetings, Master Jiang!"

"."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning glanced around and did not see any familiar figure.

"Who is the most powerful official here?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Me!" Someone stepped forward, wearing half armor, and bowed to Jiang Ning: "Master Jiang, I am Xiao Chen, a ninth-rank garrison commander."

"It turns out to be Lord Xiao!" Jiang Ning bowed slightly to show his respect.

Then he asked, "Master Xiao, what exactly happened? Why did a large flare suddenly rise from the west gate, and why did the war drums sound?"

Having said that, Jiang Ning looked at the towering war drum on one side of the city wall and the continuous sound of the drum.

From the sense of power conveyed by the vibration of the drum, he knew that the person beating the drum was not ordinary, and was most likely an eighth-grade martial artist, in the realm of divine power.

Sensing Jiang Ning's gaze, the garrison commander Xiao Chen said, "I don't know the specific situation! But according to the information conveyed by the rhythm of the drums at the west gate, there is a large army attacking the city! In addition, five large signal flares were exploded in succession, which is also a signal transmission of the army's attack on the city."

"The army is attacking the city?" Jiang Ning's eyes narrowed.

Seeing Jiang Ning's gaze, the garrison commander Xiao Chen said, "As for the specific situation, I don't know either. But since this is the signal being transmitted, I can't turn a blind eye and take it lightly. Even if it's fake, I have to take it seriously."

"I admire you!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands: "Master Xiao is loyal to his duties, he is truly a role model."

After Shangwu praised him, Jiang Ning said, "My fellow colleagues, you guys are busy. I'll go to the west city gate to take a look!"

After leaving these words, he took a step forward and crossed the entire city wall.

Then he leaped up and easily climbed over the city wall.

Then he stepped on the protrusion of the battlement with his right foot, and immediately a corner of the battlement shattered. With the help of this reaction force, he flew across the sky like a roc, and in a blink of an eye he arrived at the roof of a building more than ten feet away.

The next moment, his figure turned into a shadow again and quickly disappeared from the sight of several garrison officers.

"What a terrifying body movement!"

"Yes! Commander Jiang's strength is truly terrifying!"

“.”The other side.

Jiang Ning moved very quickly. After just a moment, he had crossed one-third of the outer city.

Subsequently.

Da da da--

The sound of horse hooves came from far away and reached his ears.

"The sound of horse hooves?" Jiang Ning's mind concentrated and his body instantly climbed up.

In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the rooftop of the tallest building around.

Looking down from a high vantage point, he instantly saw a group of figures wearing black iron armor and riding black nightmare horses appear on the main road of the outer city.

Montenegrin Army!
Black Mountain Riders!!

Seeing this scene, his heart was suddenly shocked.

His eyes were a little solemn.

At the end of his sight, on the main avenue connecting the outer city to the inner city, he saw a group of Black Mountain riders. There were more than thirty of them in total.

This means that the west gate of the outer city has been broken, so the Black Mountain Cavalry can appear inside the outer city.

This also means that among this group of chaotic troops, there are at least more than thirty eighth-grade divine power realm warriors.

Moreover, they were wearing armor, riding war horses, and had formed an organization. They were also well-trained martial artists at the eighth level of divine power.

With such a team, even an ordinary seventh-rank warrior who dared to block the way would be killed the moment he met him.

Because warriors in the army are completely different from warriors who fight alone.

They formed an organization, were well-trained, charged and fought in moderation, and cooperated with each other.

The combat effectiveness of one plus one can be fully exerted by two.

The combat effectiveness between the two is completely incomparable.

Not to mention the Black Mountain Cavalry, which is so elite and has experienced many disasters.

Their fighting power will only become more terrifying.

Besides, this Black Mountain Cavalry is cavalry, not infantry.

You know, the eighth level of divine power has a strength of at least a thousand pounds, and the best among them have a strength of two to three thousand pounds, and the armor they wear weighs several hundred pounds.

Once these Black Mountain Cavalry start moving, they are no less than a moving piece of iron.

And what explosive power and endurance does the Black Nightmare Horse have that can carry the armored and fully armed Black Mountain Cavalry to charge?

If they are stacked two by two and start charging, how can we stop them facing the impact of dozens of riders?

Who dares to stop it?
Even now, he feels fearful when he sees these dozens of Black Mountain Riders.

The West City Gate was breached so quickly, even though it happened at this special time, the New Year's Eve, but it was enough to show that among these dozens of Black Mountain Riders there were strong ones who were far superior to the eighth rank.

It is impossible to break the city so quickly with only the eighth level of divine power.

There must be a truly strong man who climbed over the city wall, quickly killed the guarding soldiers, and then opened the city gate.

Only in this way could they break through the west gate so quickly and appear in the outer city.

As for the strength of the strong men in this group of Black Mountain Riders, he didn't know either.

He also didn't know whether he was his opponent.

The Black Mountain Cavalry is the most elite force in the Black Mountain Army, and the Black Mountain Army is the guardian army of the Black Lotus Sect.

It is impossible to say that there are no martial arts masters in the Black Mountain Army, as they were able to launch a rebellion in Daming Prefecture that affected two prefectures and swept across seven counties.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ning stopped and observed the thirty or so riders approaching on horseback at the end of his sight.

After the Black Mountain Cavalry rushed into the city from the west gate, they headed straight for the inner city gate along the main road.

There was no hesitation among them.

They had already made a plan long before taking action.

Enter the city from the west gate, and after entering, go straight to the gate of the inner city.

They also knew that it would be easy to break through the outer city gates on New Year's Eve when the defenses were lax.

The difficulty lies in breaking through the inner city gate.

With the early warning from the outer city, the garrison inside must be acting quickly.

For them, time is of the essence.

After all, their Black Mountain Army numbered less than a hundred men in total.

Once the garrison is fully prepared and all the strong men in the inner city have arrived, it will be harder than climbing to the sky to break through the inner city.

Human power is limited, this is reality.

No matter how strong they are, they are still flesh and blood, and will eventually run out of strength and be unable to face the tactics of human waves.

suddenly.

A cold female voice suddenly rang in the ears of the leader of the Black Mountain Cavalry who was galloping on his horse in front.

"Captain Jiang, is there a strong man secretly spying on us?"

"How strong?" Upon hearing this, the leader of the Black Mountain Cavalry spoke immediately, but his voice was quickly blown away by the whistling wind.

"I don't know. I haven't found his exact location yet, but based on my intuition, I know his approximate location."

"Please find this person as soon as possible, and if possible, get rid of him first."

"Don't worry, my Black Lotus Sect's magic is unparalleled. If I find this person, I will bring him to the paradise!"

the other side.

Jiang Ning observed for a moment.

I suddenly felt that someone was also secretly observing me.

This feeling is like the cicada feeling the coming of autumn before the wind blows.

Goose bumps suddenly appeared all over my body and my hair stood on end.

He glanced secretly in the direction he sensed, but saw nothing.

next moment.

He closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again.

The third eye on the forehead opened instantly.

As his Heavenly Eye opened, he once again scanned the direction where the Black Mountain riders were coming from.

Suddenly, I saw a black mist enveloping a woman wearing a black dress and a black veil on her face.

"This is."

When he saw this woman, he immediately sensed the aura of the descendants of God, as well as the residual aura of divinity.

Member of the Black Lotus Sect!
Jiang Ning made a judgment instantly.

Immediately, his eyes focused slightly, and he instantly saw through the illusory black mist around the woman, saw through her entire body, and also saw through the veil on her face.

"She looks very young, maybe 23 or 24 years old, you can give it a try!"

"If I kill her, based on the aura I sense, I should be able to draw divine points from her."

"She should also be the strongest among the Black Mountain Cavalry and the Black Mountain Army in the rear!"

When Jiang Ning saw this woman, he understood instantly.

Behind the Black Lotus Sect there is also a god, a real god, a god who holds power.

After understanding the basic situation, Jiang Ning prepared to withdraw.

Here, one person faced more than thirty riders, at least thirty riders above the eighth level of martial arts.

Moreover, they were the Black Mountain Riders who had once been very famous, plus the Black Lotus Sect woman whose depth was unknown, so he was not very confident.

So he planned to retreat back to the inner city wall and take advantage of the terrain.

At this time, the woman also discovered Jiang Ning as the distance between them shortened.

When she noticed Jiang Ning, she saw Jiang Ning quickly withdraw.

It disappeared from her sight in an instant.

“What a young face!”

"So fast!!"

"Good skills, sir!!!"

“Who is this person??”

Doubts suddenly popped up in her mind, and her heart became a little heavy.

at this time.

The wind whistled in Jiang Ning's ears.

He stepped across the roof at a rapid speed, flying over the snow like a roc.
