Chapter 247 Attack
"Well done!"
Seeing Liu Guang's punch coming from a distance, Li Sheng was not afraid and raised his fist to meet it.
Based on their martial arts cultivation levels, the two were originally about the same, but upon closer examination, Liu Guang was slightly better.
But the light was rising from below, suspended in mid-air, with nowhere to put its weight on. Li Sheng, on the other hand, had a significant advantage from his elevated position, which put him at a disadvantage.
boom!
The two fists were still more than ten feet apart when the immense Yuan energy within them collided, producing a deafening roar.
Li Sheng swayed slightly and took five steps back, but Liu Guang was blasted back more than twenty feet, landing slowly on the open ground outside the city like a large bird.
"Hmph! Liu Guang, you traitor, show me what you've got, and see if I'm afraid of you!"
Li Sheng flexed his wrists, stood firmly on the city wall, and shouted loudly with a smug look on his face.
The two had just exchanged blows and were evenly matched. Taking advantage of the terrain, Li Sheng even had a slight edge. This result gave him great confidence and encouragement.
Hearing Li Sheng's clamor, Liu Guang was furious, and his face turned ashen.
Back in the old Wu Lao Hui, his status was far higher than Li Sheng's. If it were before, Li Sheng would always call him "brother" when they met. Now that they belonged to different camps, he kept calling him a traitor. How could he not be angry?
Moreover, Liu Guang did not think there was anything dishonorable about his joining Longhua Dao. On the contrary, he felt an atmosphere in Longhua Dao that he had never felt in the Martial Elders Association.
The Martial Arts Association had existed for far too long, becoming lifeless and stale, with everything exuding a strong sense of decay; but in Longhua Path, he felt that people were full of vitality and friendliness everywhere.
It was precisely for this reason that Liu Guang decided to stay in Longhua Road. With his martial arts cultivation, although he was forced to surrender at the time, if he had secretly left afterwards, who could have stopped him?
Enraged, Liu Guang remained silent, took a deep breath, concentrated all his energy into his right fist, and rose high into the air once more, launching a second charge towards the city walls.
hum...
As Liu Guang's figure flashed by, the air buzzed wherever he went, and the space around him rippled like water.
"Old fool, are you trying to fight to the death?"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Sheng shouted in alarm and raised his leg with all his might to meet the attack.
boom!
A punch and a kick collided in mid-air without any fancy moves.
"Ugh!" Li Sheng groaned, then fell to the ground on the city wall, half of his leg feeling numb.
Liu Guang's condition wasn't much better; a bluish tinge appeared on his face, and he fell off the city wall again, feeling his blood churning all over his body.
"Come again!"
After landing, Liu Guang roared and was about to launch his third powerful attack.
Just then, a voice called out from afar: "Mr. Liuguang, come back! There's no need to fight so desperately!"
Liu Guang turned around and saw Xiao Chong smiling and waving at him from within his own army formation.
"Since it is the Dao Lord who has summoned us, let's go back first and see what the plan is!" Liu Guang glanced hatefully at the city wall, then quickly leaped back into the army formation.
In truth, he hadn't had a good time either during those two exchanges. Although Li Sheng's cultivation was slightly inferior, it wasn't obvious, and he even gained a slight advantage by taking advantage of the terrain.
If this had happened in the old martial arts association before, when he was charging into battle, no one would have cared whether he lived or died. He had no choice but to launch a direct attack.
But now that he is in Longhua Dao, his two attempts to attack failed, and the Dao Lord not only did not get angry, but also showed concern for him.
This stirred a strange sense of emotion in Liu Guang's heart. Along with the emotion, he also felt ashamed, feeling that he had failed in his duties and had let down the Dao Lord.
More importantly, he also failed to live up to his title of Martial Saint.
Overwhelmed with immense happiness, yet also burdened by a deep sense of guilt, Liu Guang approached Xiao Chong and asked sheepishly, "Dao Master, why did you send me back? If I had attacked a few more times, even if my cultivation had regressed, I could have taken down that bastard Li Sheng!"
Xiao Chong laughed and said, "I understand your sincere intentions, sir. It's just a small Songcui City, why should you go to such lengths? As for such talk of risking your life, let's not mention it again."
"The Dao Lord treats an outsider as if he were his own son. How could I not serve the Dao Lord to the death?" A sense of happiness filled his chest once again. Liu Guang's face was excited and impassioned, showing a willingness to die for his country.
After the initial excitement, some doubt arose, and he asked, "Did the Daoist Master call me back because he has another brilliant plan to break through the city?"
"With so many people attacking a small city, what's the point of a clever plan? Just destroy it with brute force!" Xiao Chong shook his head, then turned to Helian Tieshu and asked, "Is everything ready?"
"We're ready! We're just waiting for the Dao Lord's order to attack the city!" Helian Tieshu's momentum was unstoppable.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's begin!" Xiao Chong waved his hand and pointed to Songcui City.
brush!brush!brush!
Ten thousand master-level martial artists, led by more than a hundred grandmasters, were divided into five camps and approached the city wall in an orderly fashion.
"Prepare!"
Upon arriving at the city walls, Helian Tieshu raised a colorful flag high.
All ten thousand martial artists secretly channeled their Yuan energy. The martial artists in the back row placed their arms on the backs of the martial artists in front of them, forming a layered structure, and transferred the gathered Yuan energy into the bodies of the martial artists in the front row.
This method of transmitting Yuan energy was originally a secret of the Martial Elders Association, and it is the only way to conquer cities and seize strongholds. Now that Liu Guang has joined, there is naturally no longer any secret about it.
"hair!"
The colorful flag in Helian Tieshu's hand fell with a wave of his hand.
The warriors at the front row shouted in unison and punched the city wall in front of them.
boom!
The combined force of countless fists slammed into the city wall.
The ten-zhang-thick city wall trembled, and cracks more than an inch wide covered the surface, resembling tortoise shells.
These martial artists were all at the Grandmaster level. The combined power of their fists was so astonishing that even the Martial Saint Liu Guang felt his scalp tingle.
"Luckily, I saw the opportunity early that day, otherwise, if I had been hit by a barrage of punches from those ten thousand grandmasters, I would have turned into a meat pie... well, I'm afraid even becoming a meat pie would have been difficult!"
A look of fear flashed across Liu Guang's eyes. He was first filled with lingering fear, then secretly rejoiced at his wise decision that day.
Li Sheng, standing atop the city wall, was ashen-faced. Before witnessing the magnificent power of ten thousand grandmasters unleashing their fists in unison, he never dreamed that the force would be so immense.
Songcui City is an important strategic location painstakingly developed by the Martial Elders Association. The materials used to build the city are all rare and high-quality goods, and the city walls are several times thicker and more sturdy than those of ordinary cities.
He had originally thought that with the advantage of the city walls, he could hold out for ten days or half a month without any problem. He was just waiting for Wu Laohui's reinforcements to arrive, and then he would lead the soldiers in the city to launch a coordinated attack from the inside and outside, which would surely defeat the enemy and wipe them out completely.
But he forgot that Liu Guang had already joined the Longhua Sect, and the old Wu Lao Hui's ingenious methods of attacking enemies had become the Longhua Sect's most powerful weapon against him.
"Activate the grand formation! Quickly activate the city-protecting formation!"
Seeing that the city wall was already on the verge of collapse after a single punch, Li Sheng panicked and shouted repeatedly.
