After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

The Northern Barbarian troops around her seemed to be fleeing in panic, but in fact they were intentionally or unintentionally guiding her deeper into the army formation.

Shen Qingqing was only thinking about killing the enemy and rescuing people, and did not notice this subtle change.

When she finally broke through numerous obstacles and came to a seemingly open area, she found herself in the core area of ​​the Northern Barbarian Army.

All around were the strict defenses and eager eyes of the Northern Barbarian Army soldiers.

She suddenly realized that she might have fallen into a trap.

"Not good!" Shen Qingqing cried in her heart and immediately wanted to withdraw. But it was too late. The elite soldiers of the Northern Barbarian Army quickly gathered around her.

Faced with this sudden predicament, Shen Qingqing was not at all flustered. She held the spear tightly in her hand, her eyes sharp.

"Shen Qingqing, your courage is indeed admirable." A deep and powerful voice came from the crowd. Li Feng walked out slowly, with both admiration and coldness in his eyes. "But today, I'm afraid you will have to stay here."

Shen Qingqing sneered and pointed the tip of her gun at Li Feng: "Li Fengjun, do you think you can trap me like this? I, Shen Qingqing, will not surrender so easily!"

After saying that, she stretched out her body and pounced towards Li Feng in an instant like a dragon emerging from the sea.

Seeing this, the surrounding Northern Barbarian soldiers roared and surrounded them. But Shen Qingqing was like a ghost, moving freely among the crowd.

However, despite her bravery, she was no match for the other. As time went on, Shen Qingqing's strength gradually depleted, and she had more and more wounds on her body.

At this moment, a burst of rapid horse hoof sounds came from far away. Shen Qingqing looked up and saw Xiao Yuheng leading a team of elite cavalry rushing into the battlefield like a storm.

They were like a sharp blade, instantly cutting through the encirclement of the Northern Barbarian Army.

"Qingqing!" Xiao Yuheng shouted and rushed towards where Shen Qingqing was. Shen Qingqing was inspired when she saw this. She gritted her teeth and tried her best to break through in the direction where Xiao Yuheng was.

"You've come just in time! Hahahaha..." Li Feng had a sinister look on his face, with a playful smile on his lips: "Since you're here, then go to hell and become a pair of ghost mandarin ducks!"

He waved his hand, and instantly the surrounding Northern Barbarian Army began to retreat. Shen Qingqing and Xiao Yuheng's expressions became stern, knowing that the situation had changed, and they immediately prepared to evacuate.

But it was too late.

Shen Qingqing and Xiao Yuheng were like birds in a cage at this moment, trapped in the formation carefully set up by Li Fengli.

All around were layers upon layers of ever-changing light and shadows and runes, which intertwined into an invisible giant net, sealing off this space tightly.

"Hahahaha, Shen Qingqing, Xiao Yuheng, you two won't be as lucky as last time. I'm waiting to see you go to hell!"

Li Feng's distorted voice reached their ears.

Shen Qingqing held the spear tightly and quickly scanned the surroundings, trying to find a clue to escape. However, everything he saw was full of fog, and every step seemed to be stepping into an unknown abyss.

Xiao Yuheng stood beside Shen Qingqing, his eyes equally sharp and deep.

He said nothing, but just stood silently beside Shen Qingqing, carefully observing the changes in the formation, looking for the patterns and flaws in it. His figure appeared unusually steady in the interweaving of light and shadow.

As time went by, the pressure in the formation became stronger and stronger, as if thousands of invisible hands were tearing their souls and bodies apart. Shen Qingqing and Xiao Yuheng both felt unprecedented pressure, their breathing became rapid, and sweat slid down their cheeks and dripped onto the cold ground.

The surrounding scene was constantly changing like a living thing, and every moment was pregnant with new dangers.

The formation seemed to have a will of its own, able to flexibly adjust its offensive according to their movements and intentions, releasing endless killing moves.

Suddenly, an ear-piercing scream pierced the air, and several sharp sword energies condensed from nothingness and shot towards them like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

Shen Qingqing and Xiao Yuheng flashed and each raised their gun and swung their sword to block. The gun and sword energy collided in the air, bursting out dazzling sparks.

However, this was just the beginning. Before the two could catch their breath, more sword energy followed, forcing them to retreat again and again, looking for space to dodge.

"Yuheng, this formation seems to be able to predict our movements!" Shen Qingqing shouted to Xiao Yuheng beside her while resisting the sudden sword energy.

Xiao Yuheng's eyes were solemn. He quickly analyzed the attack mode of the formation: "Indeed, this formation seems too flexible. But remember, as long as it is created by humans, it must have loopholes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to shake. Huge rocks seemed to be controlled by invisible hands, rolling in from all directions, forming moving barriers that attempted to trap them.

Shen Qingqing and Xiao Yuheng were very agile, jumping and shuttling between the boulders to avoid the sudden attack. But even so, they had to be vigilant against the seemingly still but murderous stones to prevent them from suddenly hitting them.

"Then how do we find this loophole?" Shen Qingqing asked while dodging the falling boulders. Her movements were agile and powerful, but she was obviously consuming a lot of energy.

"Observe its changing patterns," Xiao Yuheng analyzed calmly, "There may be a short gap after each attack mode. We need to seize these gaps and find its weaknesses."

As he was speaking, a gust of wind mixed with flames came again.

Shen Qingqing and Xiao Yuheng used their internal energy almost at the same time to form a solid shield to keep the storm out.

"Qingqing, pay attention to the paths of those flames," Xiao Yuheng pointed to a corner in the distance that was illuminated by flames, "They seem to always revolve around a certain center point. Perhaps that center point is the core of the formation."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqing immediately focused her attention and began to observe. As expected, she found that the movement trajectories of the flames seemed to be revolving around the same point. She suddenly said to Xiao Yuheng, "Yuheng, if that point is really the core of the formation, we might be able to try to attack it!"

"But be careful," Xiao Yuheng reminded, "It must be heavily guarded there, and it may be the place where the formation's counterattack is the most fierce."

"I know," Shen Qingqing nodded firmly, "but we have no way out. Only by breaking this formation can we survive."

The two exchanged glances again, and then decided to attack the center point where the core of the formation might be hidden.

Just as they approached the boundary of the suspected core, a gust of wind suddenly arose, sweeping up dust and flames all over the sky. These elements became extremely violent under the control of the formation, intertwining and colliding with each other, forming a series of destructive storms that violently attacked them.
