Chapter 11 – Sudden Change

Xu Ziling stopped at the top of a hill at the edge of the forest From behind a pile of rocks and underbrush he craned his neck to look at the grassland and mountain and fields covered in sparse forest outside the jungle, under the fine drizzle It was pitch-black and he did not see anything unusual

Tuli and Kou Zhong looked to the left and right, respectively, and only after ascertaining that there was no ene’s sides

These three were outstanding Wulin masters inside and outside the Central Plains, their eyes and ears were a hundred times sharper than ordinary hu, so the ene it

“What do you think?” Kou Zhong asked

Xu Ziling replied, “They must be nearby, but I can’t ascertain their position”

Kou Zhong said, “If even you cannot ascertain, it is clear toout, he wrapped his arm around Tuli’s shoulders and pulled hih, “The time has come to blow your conch!”

Tuli did not expect Kou Zhong would be this cordial and treated him like an old friend He was a bit overwhelmed [by the favor froht to laugh or cry Feeling uneasy, he said, “If Yun Shuai’s side fail to live up to our expectations and practically did not hear the whistle, wouldn’t we only expose our whereabouts? And then ill be forced to engage Zhao Deyan’s side in hard fighting, or else, ill be pursued until we are unable to breathe”

Kou Zhong alhtered by Xu Ziling; hence Zhao Deyan, who ranked slightly lower than Xi Ying, would not be that terrifying any his voice, he said, “The place you will blow the conch o back about one li, and then blow the whistle Ling Shao and I will be waiting around here to a, ill rendezvous with you”

Inwardly Tuli was full of ad, the fate of the world would not change because of hi spoke in low voice, “After Khan blows the whistle, there will be three possibilities The first possibility is that there will be no movement at all; that is, Zhao Deyan’s side still holds back their troops without , and that Yun Shuai did not pursue nearby Second possibility, Zhao Deyan is watching the fires burning across the river [idio the fray until all others have been exhausted by fighting ast themselves], and Yun Shuai’s men will blow their ohistle to attack Khan The third possibility is the most ideal, which is the two sides’ men and horses blow their whistle at the same time to attack each other We must first decide what action we should take under each circumstance It is also advisable to decide on a nunals to be used to communicate in case we lose touch with each other”

Kou Zhong said, “Ling Shao, why don’t you decide Ti will not work any briefly laid out the plan The other two nodded their heads indicating their approval Finally, after they also agreed on the location to rendezvous in case they were separated, Tuli quietly slipped away

Kou Zhong whispered in Xu Ziling’s ear, “Inoutside the forest for dawn Since Zhao Deyan is aware that Yun Shuai’s men are nearby, he certainly won’t act blindly without thinking We’d better take the initiative to find theht Methods of the Well], I have not had the opportunity to use it in real fight,laozi’s [I, your father] hands unbearably itchy”

Xu Ziling warned him, “We basically do not have any capital to take risks Once we are injured, or if our true power suffers tooour et trampled on You need to think about the consequences”

Kou Zhong turned his gaze at the ht rain blended into one entity Changing the subject, he said, “The situation I am most afraid of is like just noe were under attack at the Han River, sudden change that happened when you co as a nightmare How did Zhu Can suddenly beco said, “I have the same doubt as you do, which is to say his power could be considered of Ol’ Die’s level Zhu Can has had irreconcilable adversaries against Xiao Xian, doing a favor to Yun Shuai shouldn’t be any proble reason The one thing that I a, it should not be that easy to cast hiuts when he was fighting female demon Bai and Yin Gui Pai’s three elderson our heels to try our weight [fig ied, he said, “If not Zhu Can and Yun Shuai, and not Zhao Deyan and Kang Qiaoli, then it ! How did they arrive this quickly?

Before Xu Ziling had any chance to respond, aout frouts nearly jump out of their throat But it was already too late to stop now, if it rong, then it rong

If there was no Yun Shuai’sthe martial art masters from Li Yuanji and Zhao Deyan, two sides The latter even had the capability of pursuing the ene psychic sparroks This whistle was not much different to the call of death

The two looked at each other, their scalp went nu!’

There was a sound of so the wind, followed by several fireworks exploding high in the air above the two boys’ head, turning into thousands of dots of light illuolden yellow brilliant light It was very pleasing to watch

The enemy’s reaction was completely beyond the two boys’ expectation They were unclear whether the enenal their own side to ht to illuht to turn around and rendezvous with Tuli, or proceed with their a plan They had fallen into a dilemma where there was no roo spoke in low voice, “Let’s go!”

Kou Zhong pulled him back, “Absolutely not,” he said, “Chances are, nobody will be able to slip away No matter hoerful the eneer is to obtain it fro stared at hih he had not seen the eneht the sound of fluttering sleeves as the ene across swiftly fro said, “There are at least a hundred people”

More than a hundred dots of light were lighted at the saht froether with the water droplets, creating an extrehts forh points of the hills as far as the two boys’ eyes could see, for in on them It could be inferred that therea close watch over the plain beyond their field of view, the nuht to be no less than a thousand

The light from the fireworks in the sky disappeared, the heaven and earth returned to its pitch-black condition

At first the two boys were at a loss, because they thought that the sparroas released by Zhao Deyan’s side; therefore, up to a fewat them were the Eastern Tujue people But this

Blowing out asaid, “Zhao Deyan and Li Yuanji have for pulled off his ht, he spoke heavily, “There should be no o all-out and open wide the prohibition against taking lives, taking advantage of the darkness before dawn and the favorable terrain, trying to break the siege, to see what kind of ability they are relying on to intercept us”

Following his exa also pulled off his mask This moment they could already see about a hundred eneroups in fan-shaped for all over the wilderness to attack in their direction; the htly elbowed Kou Zhong, looked up to the sky, and said, “Look! The hawk is out!”

Kou Zhong also looked up, and happened to catch the sht to be the hawk Murderous intent flashed through his tiger-eyes; cal toTuli kid When this aboet of a s will be evenunderstood what he , Li Yuanji would not, under any circu involving the internal power struggle within the Eastern Tujue Yet it was exactly as happening currently; therefore, thereelse

In the dark of about roups headed toward the peak, while the other two separated theht slopes

The two boys held their breath as they hid inside a low thicket by the pile of rocks, watching the dozen or so ene the branches and leaves

This group of htwalker warrior outfit; their weapons ranged from saber, sword, to heavy lance, spear, hatchets, and all kinds of other assault weapons Their shenfa and speed were unusual They must be the Han martial art hu would have enough qualification to be included in the circle of renowned masters

The dozen or soaway fro down The two silently leaped out of their hiding place to run after the enemy’s tail

By the ti rose up, drew the Moon in the Well fro the mountain and forest, far and near The Moon in the Well turned into a yellow light, it hacked down on the two ene up the rear

The two men turned around in shock; their eyes were dazzled by the yellow light The saber qi covering-the-heaven co down on their face all bladder were about to split

One side was the saber striking, bri with stored-up, all-outdesperately at the death’s door; the difference between the two sides was si!’

One of thepoas enough to jolt him that he violently spurted out adown the slope After breaking the lance, Kou Zhong continued by hacking down on the other man’s head This h he was barely able to block the Moon in the Well by relying on his heavy hatchet, he was unable to withstand Kou Zhong’s surging-tide, violent-wave-like saber qi and irresistible true qi His hatchet, along with his body, was hacked and thrown about a zhang sideways, into a pile of shrubberies by the slope Even if he did not die on the spot, perhaps he would blow more air out than suck the air in

The reaction of the other eleven men at the front could be considered fast as well; just as Kou Zhong was letting out the long whistle, they already turned around to ht and sword shadow filled the air, the bloody battle has begun

Three of the round with the tip of his toes, and once again he soared at an angle, like a giant roc he flew over the three men, and landed in front of the enemy at the very front of the line

While the three -with-astonishi+ng- unleashed the shenfa that they had just learned Fast as lightning he entered into the gap between the three and brandished his fists to strike the ene a no man’s land In just one breath one after another all three men were struck by his heavy technique The enemy did not have a chance to launch even half a ht like dried branches, heavily injured and were unable to get up

This was the easiest part of the assault The next part would be the most difficult since they had to deal with the few enereatly chaotic, froht Li Clan martial art , while the other three continued their attack on Xu Ziling

The enemies fro over to help their co adopted killing-the-eneround, he unleashed his rapid shadow-shi+fting and taking-a-breath skill; suddenly changing position, all the enemy’s weapons hit an eround, he spun around and traversed the e wide – on the slope His saber light flashed, it swept the ene to attack hi his sword in a stabbing ’s saber strike carried inescapably swift and fierce saber qi, which changed indeterrasp its direction, so that he felt that Kou Zhong’s h he had htened and lost his guts Helplessly he pulled his sword back, trying to save his life and no longer dared to show off

‘Dang!’

The pal, freely and easily, kicked his lower abdo one of his co down the slope, both suffered heavy injury If Kou Zhong were not being lenient with his kick, it would be very difficult for the one, Kou Zhong’s divine ht was in full display, the Moon in the Well sprinkled several dozen yellow light, rolling the already timid enemies completely inside the saber shadow For a period of tiered on faintly

On the other side, naturally Xu Ziling understood Kou Zhong’s intention; he knew that Kou Zhong wanted to take advantage of favorable situation of the surprise attack to rout this group of -the-ears technique, and then before the enemy’s reinforcement or perhaps martial art masters of Li Yuanji’s caliber arrived, they would escape into the depths of the jungle This guerilla tactic was the only advantageous strategy to fight the ene, he swayed to the left to dodge the ene to attack with a his skill, fast as lightning he grabbed the opponent’s long spear, slightly and skillfully exerting his strength, the long spear i carried out his marvelous footwork; his left hand broke the spear and swiftly swept, he struck a broadsword hacking doard his head near the hilt His right hand formed a pal across his waist
