Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

"you you……"

The general pointed at Zhao Xu, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"It's already like this, just go with peace of mind!" Zhao Xu was too lazy to pay attention and directly drew back the sword.

"Plop!" The general fell down and died with his eyes open.

The key to a cavalry charge is momentum.

The general who was charging in the front was pierced through the body by Zhao Xu's sword. Even though more than a dozen personal soldiers were wearing armor, they were still no match for the sword energy and all fell off their horses to the ground.

The riders who were rushing up from behind were dampened in their momentum, and they spurred their horses to avoid Zhao Xu.

Ma Liang and others who followed would not be polite. They would seize the opportunity to attack and kill as many enemies as possible.

The remaining hundreds of riders did not carry armor to avoid suspicion. Although they were numerous, their individual strength was far less than that of the generals' personal guards.

When facing the Xuanyuan family guards, they could only rely on their numbers and form a formation to fight the enemy.

Zhao Xu naturally would not just stand there and watch. He moved his body and attacked from the back to the front, heading straight for the convoy.

However, the people in the convoy soon could not hold on facing the siege of nearly two hundred people.

Zhao Xu moved quickly, and sword lights flashed wherever he passed. He moved far away and the man fell off his horse.

Such murderous performance instantly disrupted the order of these riders, and Ma Liang and others increased the casualties.

On the convoy side, the Guangling army was fighting each other, and the one with more people had the advantage.

Han Dong has also joined the battle. His strength is stronger than Ma Liang, and he keeps roaming around to fill in the gaps.

The death of the leading general and a group of personal guards had all been dealt with by Zhao Xu, but these people still fought to the death, which showed that Prince Guangling had some insight in leading the troops.

Zhao Xu was in high spirits and blocked the enemies along the way. He was not a single opponent.

He approached the convoy, faced with a huge wall of people, and used his sword energy to directly create a gap.

In this way, after half an incense stick of time, the hundreds of besiegers had been killed to pieces, and they retreated and fled one after another.

The crowd did not chase after him.

Even though there were experts rescuing them from time to time, there were still many wounded. Fortunately, Zhao Xu was very capable and no one died, but there were quite a few who lost their combat effectiveness after being injured for a period of time.

Apart from the breathing of people and horses, and the cries of the injured, there was not much sound at the scene.

Even for third-rank masters like Han Dong and Ma Liang, it is inevitable to suffer losses and get injured after such a battle.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Qingfeng also walked out of the carriage and promised a reward to the people from the Chang'an Escort Agency.

Although Yu Hanliang, Han Xiangma and the others were all injured, they could not hide the joy on their faces.

Even a little bit of care from the Xuanyuan family would bring about earth-shaking changes to everyone and the Chang'an Escort Agency.

At this point, most people believed the crisis was over.

However, Zhao Xu knew that his opponent's trump card had not yet been used.

A big battle just ended and everyone is relaxing.

"Clap clap clap!"

The sudden applause made everyone nervous.

"Who is it?" Han Dong shouted, and everyone began to look around.

"Playing tricks!" Zhao Xu snorted coldly, and his sword energy rushed diagonally.

"Bang!" A big tree not far away fell down.

"Hahaha, you are still so arrogant. How long can you hold on after such a great battle?" An old man in gray with a haggard face gracefully landed and revealed his figure.

"You've been here a long time ago?" Xuanyuan Qingfeng looked grim, obviously knowing the identity of this person.

"Miss Qingfeng, it's been such a long time since we last met. Your Majesty, I must have missed you very much!" The old man was thin and dry, but gave people a majestic feeling. His pair of old eyes were as sharp as a knife.

This man was the personal bodyguard of the Crown Prince of Guangling. Back then in Guangling, a group of Xuanyuan guards suffered a great loss at his hands.

In the end, it was the leader of the guards, a second-rank junior grandmaster, who risked his life to hold the old guy back, allowing the rest of the people to escape.

"Old thief!" Xuanyuan Qingfeng gritted his teeth.

Han Dong, Ma Liang and other guards were filled with hatred at this moment.

Such a deep blood feud, but I am not as skilled as others and cannot take revenge, what can I do?

The old man did not react to the hatred of the crowd, but said to himself:

"In order to guard against the Xuanyuan family, they sent a top-ranking expert to rescue them. They specially asked me to come here. I didn't expect that I came to the right place!"

Hearing him say this, Xuanyuan Qingfeng calmed down instead, and quickly and accurately analyzed the calculations behind the old man's appearance:

"Prince Guangling has a really big appetite. He actually wants to swallow up Huishan in one gulp!"

This person is a first-class master. Normally, he is only responsible for protecting the crown prince Zhao Biao. He will only take action when ordered personally by Prince Guangling Zhao Yi.

"Smart!" The old man was surprised and praised. Then he looked in the direction of the general's corpse and said disdainfully: "That Wang Hu boasted of his bravery, but I didn't expect him to be such a loser. He couldn't even take him down with so many people!"

"How cruel!" Zhao Xu's voice was a little sad.

"Hehehe, your sword energy is still somewhat threatening to me. These soldiers can consume you, so your death is worthy." The old man had obviously arrived a long time ago and had been watching the show, not caring at all about those who had sacrificed before.

"Do you think we've won?" Zhao Xu said calmly.

The old man was full of confidence at this moment: "After such consumption, with your mere second-grade realm, how many times can you use the sword energy?"

"Let my sword tell you how powerful it is now!" Zhao Xu finished speaking and raised his sword horizontally.

The old man's expression also became serious. In his eyes, Zhao Xu was a genius who could use sword energy at the level of a second-grade junior grandmaster.

Although he had suffered a great loss, there were countless examples of geniuses making a comeback in the history of the martial arts world. He did not want to become one of them and join the pillar of shame.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"

The sword whistled like a dragon, and Zhao Xu raised his hand to release a condensed sword energy with astonishing momentum.

The old man chose to avoid the sharp edge temporarily, flashing his body to avoid the sword attack.

After the sword energy was released, Zhao Xu used his body skills to quickly approach and swing his long sword, with many sword shadows and continuous attacks.

"Ding ding ding..."

The old man had obviously cultivated his external skills to a relatively high level. He used Eagle Claw Skill to fight against the sharp sword, making a sound of metal and stone.

There seemed to be no difference in Zhao Xu's attack, but he just felt something was wrong.

His external skills were actually unable to withstand some of the attack. Could it be that the opponent's understanding of sword intent was too profound? Therefore, even without using sword energy, the attack power was still amazing.

The old man was somewhat confused, but Zhao Xu would not give him an explanation. He used several consecutive sword energies to force the man into the dense forest.

……

In a flash, a stick of incense passed.

The people who stayed there had already cleaned up the scene and were now waiting anxiously.

After a while, Zhao Xu, looking a little embarrassed, slowly walked out of the dense forest.

"Brother Zhao."

"Master Zhao."

……

Zhao Xu returned safely, and everyone was ecstatic.

"Han Dong, Ma Liang, why don't you let Master Zhao rest in the carriage?" Xuanyuan Qingfeng's tone contained surprise.

"Yes, miss!" The two of them took the order and quickly invited Zhao Xu to get on the carriage.

"Let's go!" Everything was settled temporarily, and Yu Hanliang quickly led the team and continued forward.

The place was left in ruins, recording that a great war had taken place here.

Carriage moving.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng has taken off his hat.

She stared at Zhao Xu for a long time before she asked softly:

"You really defeated a first-class warrior?"
