"Now that we've settled our differences, what I'm about to do has absolutely nothing to do with our previous agreement," Chu Yang said with a slight smile.
A bad feeling suddenly arose in Wanyan Honglie's heart.
Chu Yang dusted off his sleeves, appearing polite, and then spoke.
"Robbery! Hand over your wife and children!"
The dignified prince of the Jin Kingdom was repeatedly tricked by an unknown scholar. Even if Wanyan Honglie was very patient and magnanimous, he was still furious at this moment.
Tolerable or unbearable!
"I am eager to find talented people, and I respect you as a capable person, which is why I have made so many concessions. Have you forgotten that this is Yanjing City, the capital of the Jin Dynasty!"
With a furious roar, Wanyan Honglie summoned a large number of Jin soldiers who swarmed forward, completely surrounding Chu Yang and his group.
Unlike the previous formation of purely melee soldiers, Wanyan Honglie brought a large number of archers to the rear, while the vanguard consisted of a combination of swordsmen, shieldmen, and spearmen.
This is the most common battlefield formation.
The sheer number of Jin soldiers made Huang Rong, who had just been laughing heartily, tense up. She gripped Chu Yang's arm tightly and whispered, "Little Chu, are you really confident you can handle them?"
Chu Yang rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Now you know you're scared? You were the one laughing the loudest just now."
Huang Rong was very dissatisfied with Chu Yang's attitude, pouting and glaring at him angrily.
Yang Tiexin, Mu Nianci, and Guo Jing also rushed to Chu Yang's side immediately.
Seeing that the targets were all gathered together, Wanyan Honglie did not send his melee soldiers forward to test Chu Yang's strength. Instead, he decisively ordered, "Fire!"
A hint of admiration flashed in Chu Yang's eyes. This man was indeed a seasoned and ruthless figure who had fought many battles. He didn't give him any chance and chose to end the battle in the safest way.
All archers fired at the same time.
Boo~hoo~hoo~
The dark mass of arrows resembled a curtain of rain.
Upon seeing this, Bao Xiruo had already fainted from crying on Wanyan Honglie's horse.
Wanyan Kang mounted his horse, but kept his head down, not daring to look at where the arrows had fallen. He secretly glanced at Yang Tiexin out of the corner of his eye, his hands gripping the reins trembling slightly, and his face pale.
The sound of the arrow piercing the air reached Huang Rong's ears clearly. At this moment, even if she wanted to use her lightness skill to escape, it was too late. She could only close her eyes, her hands still tightly gripping Chu Yang's clothes.
Yang Tiexin, Mu Nianci, and Guo Jing all wore expressions of despair, their bodies trembling involuntarily.
Yang Tiexin gazed at Bao Xiruo with deep affection one last time.
Everyone thought Chu Yang and the others were going to die.
At the critical moment, Wanyan Honglie suddenly saw Chu Yang clasp his hands together and gently clap them. Instantly, some thick trees and vines rose from the ground.
These trees formed a sturdy defensive barrier, successfully blocking all the rain of arrows.
Everyone was unharmed.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the expressions on Yang Tiexin and the other two's faces changed from despair to ecstasy!
Meanwhile, Wanyan Honglie and nearly ten thousand elite Jin soldiers all wore the same terrified expression!
Wanyan Honglie shouted, "This is not martial arts, this is evil magic! This person... is a sorcerer!"
Wanyan Kang was so frightened that he fell headfirst off his horse and crashed to the ground.
Ouyang Ke was pale and his legs were weak. He no longer had any intention of asking his uncle Ouyang Feng to help him get revenge.
What's the point of looking for him?!
All he wanted to do now was run away; he never wanted to run into Chu Yang again in his life!
The fear of the unknown is the most severe, especially when such a miraculous ability is displayed in front of the ancients, which is a near-devastating blow to their psychology.
Most of the Jin soldiers instantly lost their will to fight, instinctively retreating and looking at Chu Yang with awe.
Regardless of whether the scholar before them was a demon or an immortal, he was certainly not an ordinary person.
Since they are not mortals, how can we, with our flesh and blood, possibly win?
This is what most of the Jin soldiers were really thinking at this moment.
Chu Yang glanced at Huang Rong, who was clinging to him with all her might, and couldn't help but tease her, "Wake up, open your eyes, we're in the underworld!"
Upon hearing the words "underworld," Huang Rong turned pale with fright. She quickly opened her eyes and looked at Chu Yang, asking, "We're here so fast? I didn't feel anything at all?"
Chu Yang asked curiously, "What kind of feeling do you want? Like being pierced by a thousand arrows before you die?"
Upon hearing the words "pierced by a thousand arrows," Huang Rong felt a chill run down her spine.
Suddenly I felt as if countless thumb-sized holes had been pierced through my body by arrows.
She pouted, tears streaming down her face. "I'm only 15 years old. There are so many fun things, delicious things, and beautiful things that I haven't had a chance to try yet."
Chu Yang stroked her head and comforted her, "It's alright, just be more careful in your next life."
Huang Rong could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
Chu Yang couldn't stop smiling.
“Miss Huang, Brother Chu is just joking with you. None of us are dead.”
Guo Jing, being rather naive, went over to explain.
"what?"
Huang Rong stopped and looked around before realizing that she had been tricked by Chu Yang. She had been too nervous and had fallen into his trap without realizing it.
Huang Rong, who prided herself on being clever and quick-witted, never imagined that one day she would be completely fooled by such a clumsy little trick.
She immediately glared angrily at Chu Yang.
Chu Yang didn't want to provoke her, so he turned around first and slowly walked towards Wanyan Honglie.
With each step he took, the army in front of him would retreat in unison.
Wanyan Honglie knew that retreating like this was not a solution, so he had no choice but to say, "Mr. Chu, the conflict between us is all because of your confidante, but she was not brought into my household by me. The grievances have their perpetrators, so why are you pressing me so hard?"
Ouyang Ke cursed inwardly. Wanyan Honglie's words were clearly meant to absolve him and make him take the blame.
Without hesitation, he leaped into the air and used his lightness skill to run along the rooftop.
"Brother Chu, grab him! I still have the poison he put on me!"
Huang Rong, disregarding her anger, anxiously reminded Chu Yang.
If it were just ordinary poison, Huang Rong could cure it herself, but Ouyang Ke used a poison carefully concocted by Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, and only he had the antidote.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang also took flight.
Ouyang Ke's lightness skill was superb, having been personally taught by Ouyang Feng. Wanyan Honglie had witnessed it and was full of praise for it.
But compared to Chu Yang, he was as slow as a wobbly hot air balloon.
Chu Yang flew past Ouyang Ke with a "whoosh," like a fighter jet with its accelerator fully depressed.
"What the hell just went by?"
Ouyang Ke looked completely bewildered.
Before he could even react, Chu Yang kicked him back off the roof. When he landed, everyone around him heard a clear cracking sound from his body.
The excruciating pain in his lower back nearly made Ouyang Ke faint.
Gradually, my lower body became numb.
Huang Rong walked over and scolded, "Ouyang Ke, hand over the antidote!"
Ouyang Ke didn't dare to delay and quickly took out a bottle of pills from his pocket and handed it to Huang Rong.
Huang Rong took the pill, but the next second, she kicked Ouyang Ke hard in the waist.
"I told you I was going to kick you!"
Chapter 89. Invading the Soul Society
89.
Huang Rong's kick landed squarely on Ouyang Ke's injured spot, exacerbating his injury. Ouyang Ke cried out in pain and then died.
He fainted.
Chu Yang estimated that even if he wasn't paralyzed on one side, he would be bedridden for at least a year or two.
Seeing what had happened to Ouyang Ke, Guo Jing felt a pang of pity and couldn't help but say to Huang Rong, "Miss Huang, you were far too ruthless in your actions."
"Ruthless?" Huang Rong said with an unfriendly expression, "If I hadn't had a treasure to protect me, who knows what would have happened to me if I had fallen into his hands?"
"And you, what are you? You dare to lecture me?"
Guo Jing blushed deeply after being rebuked, but he was tongue-tied and couldn't think of anything to say in rebuttal, so he could only turn away and sulk.
Ouyang Ke's defeat means that all five of Wanyan Honglie's once proud masters have fallen. Without masters, he can hardly guarantee his own safety.
Standing on the rooftop, Chu Yang looked down at him and asked, "Wanyan Honglie, are you still not going to hand over the person?"
Wanyan Honglie said with grief and indignation, "I have no grudge against you in the past or any enmity with you recently, so why do you have to tear our family apart today and force me to a dead end?"
