Accidentally dressed as an empress

Chapter 207 Going deep into the tiger’s den

Zhong Yi unsheathed his sword without hesitation and rushed towards the enemy, the sword in his hand gleaming with a chilling light in the sunlight. With a flick of his wrist, his swordplay was razor-sharp, each stroke carrying an unstoppable, unstoppable momentum.

The long sword drew an arc in the air and instantly chopped down several enemies rushing in the front.

Those enemies fell to the ground before they even had time to scream.

Zhong Yi fought bravely and carved out a bloody path for Yunxiu among the heavy enemy formations.

Yunxiu's figure was as light as a swallow. She was like a lone ranger in the enemy's siege. The dagger in her sleeve was nimbly controlled by her, flashing with a cold light like a meteor in the dark night, and accurately stabbing the enemy's vital points.

The enemies only felt a flash of black shadow above their heads, followed by a sharp pain in their neck or chest. Before they could figure out what was going on, they fell down one after another.

For a moment, the enemy's originally neat and orderly formation was in chaos.

Taking advantage of this excellent opportunity when the enemy was in a panic, Yunxiu's eyes were sharp, his body turned in the air, and like a ghost, he snatched a longbow and several arrows from the enemy.

She quickly nocked the arrow and drew the bow, and the bowstring was pulled into the shape of a full moon by the powerful strength of her arms.

As she narrowed her eyes slightly, locked onto the target, and loosened her fingers lightly, the arrow shot towards the vent at the top of the dark room like lightning.

There were only a few muffled "bang" sounds, and the wooden boards of the vent were instantly shattered by the powerful impact of the sharp arrow, and wood chips flew everywhere.

In the tense atmosphere, Yunxiu glanced at Zhong Yi with a smart look in her eyes, and the two quickly reached a tacit understanding and began to fight and retreat.

Their figures shuttled among the flashes of swords and sabers, and every step was filled with danger and determination.

Finally, they retreated into the dark room, which was filled with a stale and decayed smell.

She quickly scanned the surroundings, and then she and Zhong Yi hurriedly piled up the debris to build a simple platform.

The two of them used their hands and feet to climb up the platform, and then they slipped sideways into the narrow ventilation hole.

Yunxiu and Zhong Yi crawled in the narrow passage. The passage was dark, damp and filled with dust. They could only hunch their bodies and move a little bit at a time.

Finally, they climbed out of the passage and came to a long passage. They happened to meet Su Da who came with his men and joined them.

Everyone stepped into the passage together, and could only hear the faint creaking sound of the mechanism running beside their ears.

Su Da raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, then turned to Yun Xiu and said, "Master, the situation ahead is unclear. I'm afraid there's a trap."

Yunxiu's eyes were firm: "Be careful and move forward."

At this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the cave, and then the ground began to shake slightly.

Yunxiu's heart trembled, realizing that this must be the signal from the transmitter.

She acted decisively and shouted to Zhong Yi and Su, "Everyone be careful, there's a trap!"

Everyone quickly formed a circle with their backs to each other, looking around vigilantly.

The vibrations grew stronger, and dust from the cave walls fell down, creating a choking dust cloud in the dim light.

Suddenly, rows of sharp crossbow arrows shot out from the hidden grooves on both sides of the cave wall, and attacked them like a torrential rain.

Zhong Yi shouted loudly and swung his sword. The sword shadows were like a curtain, knocking away the crossbow arrows shot at them.

Su Da led the guards to raise their shields and connect them closely together to form a solid defensive barrier. The crossbow arrows hit the shields, making a tinkling sound.

Yunxiu's eyes were as fast as lightning, searching for the location of the crossbow trigger in the gaps between the crossbow arrows.

She flashed and slid through the rain of arrows like a loach, running towards the side wall of the cave.

Seeing this, several minions tried to stop him, but Yunxiu tapped her toes and dodged their attacks, then swung the dagger in her hand, cutting their throats in an instant.

Finally, Yunxiu found the crossbow. She kicked it hard and broke it.

The crossbows stopped firing instantly. However, before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, new changes began to appear on the ground.

The dust on the wall fell down, filling the air with a choking dust cloud.

Zhong Yi looked at the direction they came from and said anxiously, "What should we do? Our escape route has also been cut off."

Yunxiu gritted her teeth, quickly calmed down, and said, "Don't panic yet. Now that we've entered the tiger's den, we can't retreat. Keep moving forward!"

They continued forward, cautiously moving deeper into the cave. The vibrations beneath their feet continued, as if a gigantic monster were writhing and stirring beneath the earth.

When they reached a fork in the road, Yunxiu stopped and listened carefully to the movements around her.

With her keen hearing, she seemed to hear faint gusts of wind coming from deep in the passage on the left.

"Go this way!" Yunxiu said in a low voice. Everyone bent down and slowly moved forward along the passage on the left.

Soon, they found that the road was blocked and there was an iron fence in front.

Just as she was trying to find a way to open the fence, she suddenly heard shouts and screams from behind.

It turned out that the enemy had discovered their whereabouts and sent a team of troops to encircle them from behind.

Su Da's expression changed, and he said, "Master, we are now attacked from all sides, what should we do?"

Yunxiu stared at the iron fence with a determined look. She pulled out a thin wire from her bosom and began fiddling with the lock. "You lead the guards to hold out for a while. I'll open this fence as soon as possible."

Su Da took the order, turned around and led his soldiers in a desperate fight with the enemy.

The clang of swords clashing echoed in the narrow passage, and blood splattered on the walls.

Yunxiu's forehead was covered with sweat, and her fingers kept fiddling with the lock core.

Finally, with a slight "click", the iron fence was opened.

Everyone quickly entered the new passage, and the guards who were left behind quickly closed the iron fence, blocking the pursuers behind them.

Yunxiu led everyone to quickly turn several forks in the road. The view ahead became wider and a large open space appeared in front of them.

There was a high platform in the middle of the open space. A man in a black robe was standing on the platform, surrounded by a group of guards.

The black-robed man sneered, "Xiu Yun! Your death is imminent. Do you think you can capture me with just these few men?"

Yun Xiu stepped forward and shouted, "You have committed many evil deeds. Today is the day you die."

The man in black robe remained unmoved. He waved his hand suddenly, and the guards rushed towards the crowd like a tide.

Yunxiu and Su Da led the guards to bravely meet the enemy. For a moment, the shouts and sounds of weapons clashing echoed in the stone chamber.

After saying that, Yunxiu rushed into the enemy camp. His sword skills were sharp, and he shuttled through the enemy camp like a dragon, leaving blood splattered wherever he went.

Su Da swung his spear with such force and power that each strike swept across a large number of guards. The guards who were hit were like kites with broken strings, screaming and flying away, falling heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The man in black stood at the back, watching his guards being so vulnerable. He was so angry that his face turned ashen and veins bulged on his forehead.

His eyes widened in anger, and he growled through gnashing teeth, "All of you, come at me! Hurry up!"

When the guards heard the scolding from the man in black, they were even more frightened, but they did not dare to disobey the order. They could only bite the bullet and shout as they rushed towards Yunxiu and others again.

Yun Xiu stared at the guards who had been forced to come and urged loudly, "I urge you to surrender! Your families are waiting for you in Yunyin City! You don't want to lose your lives for someone who is not worthy and never see your family again."

Her voice was loud and resonant, echoing throughout the noisy battlefield.

Most of these guards were merely following orders and weren't unforgivable criminals. To avoid further casualties and end the battle as quickly as possible, Yunxiu gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

She closed her eyes slightly and shouted softly, "Enemy, surrender!"

As she cast the word, her face turned pale instantly, and a barely perceptible trace of weakness flashed across the depths of her eyes.

After all, such words of wisdom come at a price. The life span is shortened by two months, but fortunately, the price is not too high.

These guards were already hesitant and deep down they didn't want to fight to the death. Under the influence of the powerful force of the Word Spirit, their wills were instantly shattered and they all let go of their weapons. Only the clanging sound of metal falling to the ground was heard, which was particularly harsh on the battlefield.

Seeing that the situation was extremely unfavorable to him, the man in black suddenly had a cunning and panic look in his eyes, and turned around to escape.

Seeing this, Yunxiu shouted, "Su Da, catch him!"
