Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

Chapter 238 A critical moment!

Just as these barbarian soldiers were about to attack, Wang Erlang suddenly looked up, his eyes wide open, staring at Fu Yun. Fu Yun was completely stunned! The last trace of warmth flowed from Wang Erlang's parched dantian. He pushed off with both feet and leaped forward.

While the barbarian soldiers were still stunned, Wang Erlang was already less than half a zhang away from them. The barbarian soldiers were suddenly startled, their hands trembled, and they thrust their spears and broadswords forward!

At this moment, Wang Erlang stepped onto the spears offered by the barbarian soldiers, and with the momentum, leaped ten feet high, arriving not far in front of Fu Yun. His muscles bulged like dragons, his eyes were bloodshot, and his silver spear moved like a venomous snake, passing by a barbarian soldier and piercing straight into Fu Yun's heart!

The barbarian soldiers had already come to their senses. But at this moment, Wang Erlang's momentum was like a dragon, unstoppable! Before the barbarian soldiers could even process what was happening, years of fighting had honed their skills, and they brandished their broadswords, slashing at Wang Erlang in an attempt to relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao.

Wang Erlang already had many wounds. At this moment, all his mental energy was focused on his silver spear, his eyes fixed on only one target, completely unaware of the broadsword aimed at him! His killing intent condensed into a needle-like point as the silver spear pierced through, chilling Fu Yun to the bone, leaving him stiff and powerless to dodge!

Just as the two were about to perish together, at this critical moment, a gray horse, like a gray lightning bolt, suddenly appeared dozens of meters away!

……

Li Xingzhi was originally following Xue Rengui, with two women, and hurried over, following the trail.

That day, the tracks on the ground became increasingly chaotic, with bloodstains appearing, and the situation escalated rapidly! Those who had followed the trail could no longer discern where everyone had gone. At this moment, alarm bells rang in Li Xingzhi's mind, and his unease grew even stronger.

Just then, the northerly wind, which had been blowing from the north, suddenly changed direction and began to blow from the west. With this change in wind direction, shouts of battle and shrill screams instantly entered Li Xingzhi's ears, causing his expression to change!

As the shouts carried by the strong wind echoed in his ears, Li Xingzhi's inexplicable unease grew increasingly urgent!

The urgency in his heart prevented him from even greeting the others. With a flick of the reins, he channeled a surge of emerald energy into the gray horse beneath him, instantly merging man and horse into one! Instantly, man and horse moved in perfect harmony, the wind howling in unison with their movements!

Before anyone could react, the gray, strange horse, carrying Li Xingzhi, vanished into the vast expanse of white snow, leaving no trace.

The two women looked in the direction Li Xingzhi had disappeared, called out a few times, and then ignored the people behind them. They rode off in hot pursuit. Seeing this, Xue Rengui flicked the reins, waved his hand, and led about a hundred men to follow…

Li Xingzhi spurred his horse at full gallop, amidst the swirling snowflakes falling from the sky. The moment he and his horse galloped in, the snowflakes instantly transformed into countless sharp, bloodless blades, aimed directly at them. Li Xingzhi's inner energy surged, instantly creating a gust of wind that shattered the snowflakes!

Even with his excellent eyesight, all he could see in the overwhelming snow was a stark white expanse! His ears twitched intermittently amidst the howling wind, searching for the faint neighing of horses or the cry of men. Soon, he emerged from a curtain of snow. He saw a patch of crimson on the ground not far away!

His heart tightened instantly! Without daring to delay, he frantically channeled his inner energy into the horse's saddle! Fortunately, the gray horse's bones and meridians were robust; otherwise, it would have already exploded and died. Even so, the gray horse felt its entire body swell, driving it to stride even more forcefully! It even felt that if it didn't release the energy within its body quickly, its body would burst!

Li Xingzhi rode his gray horse like a gray lightning bolt across the blood-stained, crimson snowfield!

Closer, even closer! He could already see clusters of figures gathered together! The next moment, he could even clearly see the barbarian's savage grin and the blood gushing from the few remaining Tang soldiers!

He saw more clearly the several large swords that were slashing towards Wang Erlang!

Looking at the several large swords slashing downwards, Li Xingzhi felt as if time and space, which was less than a hundred meters long, were about to freeze!

A distance of less than a hundred meters cleaved the entire world in two. The immense pressure brought about by this spatial and temporal division rendered all living beings, and even the raging winds and blizzards of the world, powerless!

At that very moment, several streaks of silver light flashed by like shooting stars in the sky, piercing through the nearly 100-meter-wide boundary of space covered by wind and snow, and stabbed straight between the large swords and the young general!

"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding—!"

Several sharp, metallic clangs rang out, deafening and shattering the hearts of all the barbarian soldiers! Several barbarian soldiers wielding swords suddenly felt their hands lighten, and their wide-open eyes were filled with horror—one by one, the intact steel swords had inexplicably shattered into pieces!

The battlefield, which was originally splattered with blood and gore, suddenly fell into an eerie silence!

"Hey!"

A sound like tattered cloth rang out, sounding particularly jarring on the silent Blood Plain.

Everyone turned to look and saw a young general holding a silver spear thrusting it into the chest of a fat, big-eared barbarian adorned with gold and silver. The spear then emerged from behind and plunged into the icy plain already splattered with blood.

The young general stood upright, spear in hand, his eyes scanning the surroundings. The barbarian soldiers, seeing their leader's corpse, retreated hastily. Several barbarians, wielding broken swords, scrambled onto their horses, not daring to look back, and galloped into the endless white snow.

Just then, a gray horse leaped like a dragon, soaring over three zhang (approximately 10 meters) above the heads of the barbarian soldiers and landing in front of Wang Erlang.

"Erlang!" Li Xingzhi called out softly. He saw that Wang Erlang was still holding the silver spear, staring blankly, not moving at all. He had a bad feeling in his heart. His hand, which was trembling slightly from exhaustion, reached for Wang Erlang's wrist - the wrist was slightly warm and the pulse was still rising and falling.

Li Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

He pressed acupoints around several major wounds on Wang Erlang's body, and the gushing blood stopped flowing. After a quick patching with silk, Li Xingzhi supported Wang Erlang's shoulder with one hand and slowly channeled his inner energy into his dried-up and broken meridians…

The barbarian tribes, terrified by the successive misfortunes, dared not approach again upon seeing Li Xingzhi, this strange man who had appeared out of nowhere. They all reined in their horses and fled. The few remaining minor leaders among the barbarians, also frightened by the silver lights that had shot out from somewhere earlier, stopped in their tracks and were swept away by the scattered barbarian soldiers, fleeing into the distance.

Though numbering in the thousands, they were already a routed army. How can a defeated general speak of bravery?!

Once Wang Erlang was no longer in danger, Li Xingzhi placed him in a thick fur blanket and then rescued the few remaining Tang soldiers and dozens of Han people who were still alive...

The sound of horses galloping could be heard, and then more than a hundred dark figures appeared on the horizon, rushing towards them...
