Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 183 0182: Li Lu on the verge of death
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed.

Go back? What to do?
You can figure out what's going on just by thinking with your toes!

Li Lu immediately said to Li Xian: "Take people to the city to spread the word! Once the people behind us come, we will really have no power to resist. No matter if it works or not, we have to try to provoke their resistance."

"Yes, boss!" Li Xian agreed and quickly led a few people to run towards the county town.

Li Lu looked at Zhao Laoqi and said sternly, "You arrange for people to hide in the farmland with unlit torches. Once these foreigners want to attack us, we will wait for the village's signal and burn everything down! No one will get any benefit!"

Hearing this arrangement, Zhao Laoqi was stunned and said quickly: "This is Mr. Cheng's hard work. If it is burned, when he comes back, won't it be..."

Zhao Laoqi didn't say much about the rest of the conversation. He believed that Li Lu could understand. Li Lu did understand and said:
"If we are taken away by foreigners, it means we are supporting them. At that time, it is uncertain whether we will survive. It is better to burn it all! They won't get any benefit from it!"

Although what Li Lu said was good, he was still a little hesitant.

Li Lu frowned: "What? Is there a problem?"

Zhao Laoqi opened his mouth, but finally shook his head and said, "No, no."

The harvest is only about a month away, but I never thought that it would be burned down?!
It would be a lie to say I don’t feel sad!
But he was also worried that Cheng Zongyang would be furious. It seemed that these farmlands were related to them, but in fact they belonged to Cheng Zongyang alone!
If you keep it, you may be able to take it back later, but if you burn it, it will be gone for real!
After Li Lu made the arrangements, he also looked worried.

How did the situation suddenly become a crisis?

Could it be that these foreigners have become a highly aggressive force because of years of competition?

He was not too worried about his family in the city. After all, they were just ordinary people. They wouldn't have their property confiscated or their entire family destroyed, right?

A quarter of an hour later, Li Xian, who had been running all the way, brought his men to the official road outside the west gate of the city.

As a result, when they arrived at the city gate in the dark, they found that the gate was closed!

Li Xian looked anxious, but before he could call out to the gang members on the tower, he heard a gang member behind him panicking:
"Master, our people are dead!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xian looked over quickly, and with the help of some moonlight, he saw the gang member lying on the ground, dead and motionless.

"Let's go check out other city gates!" Li Xian said gritting his teeth and headed towards the south of the city.

It goes without saying that in this situation, those people killed his men as soon as they entered the city, took over the city defense and closed the gate!
A quarter of an hour later, Li Xian looked desperate.

Two of the four city gates in the county were closed, and there were outsiders watching the towers, so no one could get in. The other two gates were known without going there.

Unless we attack the county town!

"Go back!" Li Xian glared at the faint figure on the city wall and had to take his people back to the village.

But at this time, Tianduan Village was facing a greater crisis!

A group of people walked in a mighty manner and arrived at the entrance of the village.

Following the signal from the warrior named Tie Niu, the leaders of the six large teams ordered ten people from each of their teams.

Suddenly, under the guidance of Tie Niu, a total of sixty eighth-grade warriors holding torches entered the village.

The rest of the people continued to head towards the county town, there was no need for all of them to stay.

To deal with a group of warriors with cultivation levels of ninth or eighth rank at most, they don't need to spend much manpower at all.

Li Lu was also aware of the arrival of foreign personnel.

He did not intend to engage in a head-on confrontation, but instead ordered his men to prepare an ambush under the cover of night.

Although he knew that this would have little effect, it was currently the only way to fight back.

If they confront each other head on, there will be only one outcome for them - death will be faster.

However, Li Lu asked his men to ambush, while he stood alone at the southern entrance of Tianduan Village.

Li Xian had not returned yet, so Zhao Laoqi and his men hid in the farmland, while Xiao Bing and Chen Eryun were lying in ambush in the woods.

This is also the direction from which outsiders came in from an old village entrance in the south.

As the sixty people rushed in, they soon saw Li Lu standing at the entrance of the village holding a torch.

Tie Niu, the leader, stared at Li Lu with murderous intent on his face. Without the threat of the county, he did not intend to be long-winded this time and shouted to the people behind him:

"Kill all the personnel! Leave no one alive!"

Following Tie Niu's loud shout, the six family teams behind him immediately rushed towards Tianduan Village.

Li Lu at the entrance of the village saw that the other party was not following the routine again, so he immediately shouted: "Shoot!!"

Suddenly, feather arrows shot out from the woods on both sides, making a whistling sound as they broke through the air under the cover of night.

Some of the foreigners who rode in on horseback were unable to dodge and were shot, and several of them fell off their horses in panic.

But more of them relied on their own senses and reactions to quickly avoid them, and also blocked some with weapons!
The next moment, thirty of them automatically separated and rushed into the woods on both sides! The remaining thirty people continued to move forward.

Soon, shouts and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard in the woods.

Li Lu at the entrance of the village quickly retreated back into the village and used the torch in his hand to light a pile of tall smoke signals in the central area.

This smoke signal was proposed by Cheng Zongyang, and its purpose was to allow people in the city or nearby to see it in the future.

The purpose is to send a signal that something has happened in the village.

Tie Niu, who was chasing from behind, immediately understood what this meant and quickly shouted, "Come on, put out the fire! The rest of you go look for them and kill them all, leaving no one alive!!"

After saying that, he swung his knife and rushed towards Li Lu.

The rest of the scattered personnel also rushed to various places in the village and rushed towards the fire.

But all the villagers had already entered the city and settled down temporarily under Li Lu's instructions, and the people arranged by Zhou Zhendong had already hidden in the underground secret room.

These foreign warriors searched everywhere but couldn't find any extra people.

At the campfire, two eighth-grade warriors, Li Lu and Tie Niu, were fighting back and forth.

Although Li Lu's cultivation level improved quickly, he was once a government official and had practiced some moves. In addition to his already impressive strength, even if he was at a disadvantage in martial arts, he could still resist a little.

This was a difference in the use of martial arts, not in strength. Li Lu's eighth-grade peak cultivation was slightly stronger than his opponent, and with one strong and one weak, a stalemate ensued.

Several foreign warriors quickly put out the firewood in the fire with water until no smoke came out.

Suddenly the surroundings fell into darkness again.

Seeing this, Li Lu could only take the opportunity to dodge the opponent's attack, turned around and rushed into the largest meeting room in the house, trying to hide in the basement.

Tie Niu quickly scanned the rest of the place and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the fire was out. He immediately said:
"Go in, and make quick work of it!"

It was obvious that Tie Niu had no intention of continuing to fight alone. Since the others had nothing else to do, they might as well attack together.

In addition to the people searching the village, the four warriors who had put out the fire followed Tie Niu into the meeting hall.

At the same time, Cheng Zongyang, who came out of the mountains and arrived at the original site of Jinqiao Village, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's been so long, but I still don't like walking at night."

Cheng Zongyang stuck the Tang sword into the ground, dusted himself off, then entered the wilderness to take out the things and rushed to the village.

However, the next moment, when he looked up in the direction of Tianduan Village, he found a thick smoke filling the sky above the village!
This was obviously not the time to cook, and even if there was a fire, the smoke wouldn't be that thick.

Suddenly, Cheng Zongyang remembered the smoke signal from the stone pestle in the middle of the entrance to the conference hall!

Considering the arrival of foreign tribes... "Wolf smoke!"

Thinking of this, Cheng Zongyang's expression changed. He drew out his Tang sword and put the things into the wilderness world. He then used his full strength to perform the Wind-Step and rushed towards Tianduan Village like an arrow.

At the entrance of the village, Xiao Bing, who rushed out of the woods and was about to enter the village, happened to run into Chen Eryun, who was also injured, or even more seriously.

"Brother Bing! Run!" Chen Eryun covered his abdomen and whispered to Xiao Bing, who was injured in the arm, with a pale face.

He was pierced through the abdomen by the opponent's sword, but he took advantage of the opponent's lack of ability to finish him off and fell to the ground pretending to be dead to escape.

"We have to save the leader!" Xiao Bing quickly held Chen Eryun and said anxiously.

"We can't save him! We are no match for him at all! Most of the people are chasing the gang leader!" Chen Eryun tried to stop them, already feeling weak.

He knew it was caused by excessive blood loss.

"What should we do?" The two supported each other and hid behind a mound of earth near the entrance of the village.

This pile of earth was cleared when the village was built.

Chen Eryun lay on the dirt, holding his left abdomen with his right hand. His chest kept rising and falling. He endured the pain and said, "Run south! If Lord Cheng comes back, he will also come from the south. If you run into him, remember to tell him to be careful!"

Xiao Bing frowned: "You want me to run by myself?"

"What else?" Chen Eryun closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing while continuing, "I can't run away, and I don't know how many of those brothers can run away. The gang leader is even more dangerous. He is surrounded by others. Unless he hides underground, he will be in danger. You..."

"Stop talking nonsense. Why don't you run now if no one is chasing you? Are you waiting to be chased before running?" Xiao Bing immediately carried Chen Eryun and quickly headed south in the cover of night.

Chen Eryun: “…”

Makes sense!
The two of them immediately supported each other and stumbled away towards the south of the village.

Chen Eryun thought about the fifty entry-level warriors facing thirty eighth-level warriors. Their chances of winning...except for a few people who were shot and injured by bows and arrows at the beginning, they were completely at the mercy of the enemy!
After all, they are all newcomers, how can they beat them?
In the end they had to let everyone flee and try to survive.

"stop!!"

At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves and a roar from behind! The sound was approaching quickly!

"Only a lunatic would stop here!" Xiao Bing cursed and prepared to go into the woods to hide.

At this moment, they suddenly saw a figure rushing towards them from the front, and the next second it passed by them in an instant like a gust of wind.

Xiao Bing and Chen Eryun suddenly stopped and looked back.

Under the dim afterglow of the waning moon, a figure appeared with a flash of light in his hand. It turned out to be a long sword with a cold glow, which was thrown away by him in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them saw the person on the horse flying backwards and finally being nailed to a mound of earth!

Due to inertia, the horse raised its feet and stood up, letting out a neigh that echoed through the silent night!
Although it was dark, Xiao Bing and Chen Eryun still recognized the figure.

"Master Cheng!"

Xiao Bing was extremely excited.

Cheng Zongyang quickly turned back and came to them. Seeing their condition, he asked, "Are you two seriously injured?"

"It can still hold out for a while."

Chen Eryun smiled weakly, and then reported: "Our leader is trapped in the village, and we don't know whether he is alive or dead. There are fifty or sixty people from the other side this time, and most of them are eighth-rank! The rest have gone to the county town!"

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly and said, "Then I will go first, and you guys follow me."

As he spoke, he pretended to reach into his pocket and took out a packet of white medicine from a small hut in the market.

"Apply it on yourselves!"

As he said this, he ran towards the pile of earth.

Seeing that the opponent was still breathing, he didn't waste any words. He drew out his Tang sword and killed him the next moment, then continued to rush towards the village.

As a result, at the southern entrance of Tianduan Village, we saw more than a dozen people walking towards the village from the village road.

Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang didn't waste any words. He stretched out his hand and a stone tablet as tall as a person appeared, which was suddenly inserted into the ground by Cheng Zongyang.

The restrictions of the Soul Gathering Monument were released, and gray fog surged instantly, spreading rapidly!

The use of the Soul Collection Monument is not only to assist in the battle, but also to prevent them from running away. Of course, if Li Lu is still alive, this can also serve to protect Li Lu.

At the entrance of the village, the dozen people also saw Cheng Zongyang coming with a knife. One of the people covered in blood saw this and laughed grimly:
"I haven't killed enough, yet you come here to die!"

As he said this, the young man rushed towards Cheng Zongyang with a sword.

Cheng Zongyang, who was approaching quickly, saw the other party coming to attack him actively, but his expression remained unchanged.

As the distance got closer, the ferocious and bloodthirsty look on the opponent's face could be vaguely seen. The next second, his speed suddenly increased!
He used his full strength to perform the pinnacle of Wind-Stepping Step, and his speed was so fast that his figure seemed to pass by like a gust of wind. At the same speed, he used the basic sword and bayonet techniques, and the Tang sword pointed at the opponent's throat, and the man had already stood behind him.

Cheng Zongyang did not stop and continued to kill the rest of the people!
Cheng Zongyang's speed made the young man stunned. The next second, he felt a pain in his throat, and blood spurted out.

The young man dropped the sword in his hand, covered his throat in disbelief, and opened his mouth, but no words came out.

When the other foreign warriors saw this, their faces changed drastically.

Now, they didn't dare to act arrogantly and all rushed towards Cheng Zongyang.

However, at this moment, the gray fog of the Soul Gathering Monument had swept in, first engulfing Cheng Zongyang's figure, followed by a dozen people rushing towards Cheng Zongyang.

"What's this??"

"Where's the smoke coming from?"

"Damn it, He Sai, He Qi, where are you?!"

"..."

Shouts came one after another in the fog.

But what they didn't know was that under the cover of gray fog, the sounds they made could only be heard by Cheng Zongyang.

Opening up a unique perspective, Cheng Zongyang ignored them for the time being and went into the village to look for Li Lu.

Trapped in a ghost wall, these guys with low cultivation have no chance of leaving!

He must first determine whether Li Lu is alive or dead!

Soon, Cheng Zongyang followed the people he was chasing and found Li Lu, who was covered in blood and dying, in the meeting room.

These foreign warriors have also been shrouded in the gray fog and are in panic.

Seeing Li Lu in such a miserable state, Cheng Zongyang frowned.

If the gray fog had been a few breaths slower, the burly man would have chopped off Li Lu's head with his knife!
Suppressing his anger, Cheng Zongyang took out some wilderness bean water and gave it to Li Lu to drink.

Once it is completely unconscious, take it into the wilderness.

In the market hut, Cheng Zongyang placed the unconscious Li Lu on the wooden bed.

"Treatment!" Cheng Zongyang shouted.

Li Lu still has a lot of uses for him and cannot die now, otherwise many things will be in vain.
