Chapter 144 Madam Yu’s Strong Resistance

Chapter 144 Madam Yu’s Strong Resistance

The gunpowder bombed madly at the Western Front. Madam Yu dispersed her military forces. Only by waterway could they break out of the encirclement. Naga was good at water techniques. Madam Yu led naga soldiers and swam to the opposite bank.

When Lin Xiaosa gave the command, shells were fired to the opposite bank. Some naga soldiers who had no time to escape were blown up to the sky by the shells. When Madam Yu fought her way forward to the opposite bank, she led the water to attack the gunpowder furiously, and then naga soldiers came forth in a crowd. Sudden attack disturbed the artillery battalion’s assault. The gunpowder’s nemesis was the water. Madam Yu murmured the incantation, and water began pouring from the river. Naga soldiers drew the water, and the great watery artillery shot at the Qi army together. Di Qing could not sit well any longer. Those sharp weapons were vulnerable to water. After a neigh, Black Dragon suspended in the mid-air. Officers and soldiers shouted with hooray at the sight of the divine dragon. Lin Xiaosa had seen the Black Dragon before. The naga soldiers were so clever that they gathered Spirit Power to lead the river water. Di Qing set a defensive cover for his artilleries. Madam Yu’s purpose was to destroy the artilleries. Only in this way could she pin down Di army and leave more time for the Jin City to intensify the city wall to resist the gunpowder’s attacks. Although Madam Yu did not like her opponents, she was also a clear-headed and reasonable person. Confronted with a formidable enemy, she would take the national affairs as a priority. The Jin City was like her own homeland. Madam Yu could not tear herself away from the people of the Jin City. Black Dragon’s purpose was obvious—capture the ringleader first in order to capture all her followers. Black Dragon’s tail stirred up the clouds violently. Madam Yu stood on the top of the waves, covered with dragon-like silk. Her fingers condensed Spirit Power, and then the dragon-like silk extended like a flowing dragon and tangled the Black Dragon. A sonorous spiritual voice pierced through the night sky and shook the earth and mountains. Black Dragon dodged the nagas’ attacks.

When Madam Yu cleaved at the Black Dragon again, strong Spirit Power blew off the dragon-like silk. Black Dragon brandished its giant tail to stir up a gale. Lin Xiaosa dashed into the naga’s camp and waved his sharp sword. The Sword Qi pressed hard at the naga’s soldiers. Looking at the rampant Black Dragon, Madam Yu spat out the naga oil. In the night wind, the naga oil spurted out like magma and burned all the way to brightly light the sky. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

“What a cheap trick!”

On the clouds, Black Dragon swayed the great tail. Madam Yu read the incantation. The talisman incantation flashing with spirit light twined the Black Dragon. Those talisman incantations transformed into sabers and swords and pricked through the dragon tail to the bones. Madam Yu laughed wildly. Black Dragon charged at Madam Yu. Madam Yu opened her mouth to spew out the naga oil. Seeing the things going worse, Black Dragon fled from the lake. The morale of naga soldiers was boosted, and they rushed to Di army’s barrack. The surging water quenched the artillery battalion. Seeing it, Black Dragon flew to cover the artillery, because they were the sharp weapons to attack the Jin City. Without the artillery, Di army was just like the fish on the chopping block and partitioned by Xu Linghe at will.

Lin Xiaosa waved his sword to the naga again, and his Spirit Power spread in all direction. Injured naga soldiers tottered to their feet. Overwhelmed with great hatred, they displayed the water techniques. Fishtail caused the water to rise considerably, and erect water columns bore down on Lin Xiaosa. The water columns kept transforming. Lin Xiaosa ducked the attack upon attack and waved his sword to naga soldiers. Next second, the soldiers were smashed into pieces by Sword Qi, and the lake was dyed red by the blood. Madam Yu shook her naga tail and spat out the naga elixir. Seven-color naga elixir encircled the naga soldiers. Then, those naga soldiers killed by the Sword Qi jumped out of the lake, and with the support of the naga elixir’s Spirit Power, they became more violent after rebirth. The devil soldiers and officers flooded up to surround the naga soldiers. The naga was driven mad and revealed buckteeth. These mermen did not fear the devil army and brandished the huge palms. Lin Xiaosa gathered his Spirit Power and set tactical formation. Next second, a gale sprang up, and the lake swirled. A force of suction rolled up nagas. Although nagas did not fear the water, under the vortex was a churning great saber. The more nagas tried to struggle, the more they were torn by the saber. The shattered bodies covered the lake, which was too horrible to look at.

They were Madam Yu’s brothers whom she had gone through life and death, but now died so miserably. Madam Yu dashed out madly and transformed into the dragon-like silk to cover Lin Xiaosa with all of her strength. The burning dragon-like silk lit by naga oil was unquenchable spiritual fire. Any living creature in the three realms, once tainted, was reduced into ashes without a doubt. Madam Yu was desperate to vanish Lin Xiaosa from the world. What a cruel executioner! Black Dragon seized the opportunity and attacked Madam Yu from the back. Madam Yu spurted out the naga oil, and the fire spread. The dragon’s tail was being burnt by the naga oil. Furious Madam Yu spurted at Lin Xiaosa. The devil soldiers were generally scared of fire, so they did not dare to come closer. However, the artillery battalion found out the flaw and bombarded the lake. The remnant naga soldiers protected their General tightly. Di army’s morale was increased, and its soldiers rushed to the enemy’s camp. Madam Yu conjured a spiritual net to separate the Di army’s attack. Black Dragon swayed its huge tail to the net and broke a hole in it. The devil soldiers ran up, but was still blocked by naga oil. Obviously, Madam Yu had no power to fight back, so to maintain the strength, she escaped to the Southern Front. 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

Di Qing brandished the saber to the South, and the main forces marched to the Jin City. The real enemy of the Qi Kingdom was in the Jin City. Di Qing’s territory had been occupied half by Yan Shen. Originally, the Jin City was at Di Qing’s fingers, but Yan Shen, the old guy, gave the City to others as a gift. Di Qing could not bear it.

Madam Yu led the naga army to the barrack in the Southern Front. Yan Shen fled away hurriedly when hearing Madam Yu had been defeated. Madam Yu was ordered to guard the Western Front. But now, not only did she fail to accomplish the task, but also suffered a great loss. There was a mess everywhere in the barrack. As the leading vanguard in the Southern Front, Yan Shen ran away when going into battle. But wasn’t it a capital crime when he came back? Didn’t Yan Shen know it? What a silly man!

Standing in front of the commander’s camp on the Western Front, Madam Yu gathered the leading officers and began deploying their military forces. After the war on the Western Front, they suffered over half casualties of the total number, and only five thousand forces were left. Compared to Di army, it was like throwing egg against rock. To win the battle was impossible for Madam Yu. But she just wanted to drag Di army’s marching process, so as to leave more time for the Jin City to intensify the defence. Although she was not a local in the Jin City, she thought she had been a part of the Jin City and would be stick to the end.

Di Qing was pretty sure to win, as they succeeded in mowing down the resistance on the Western Front. Now the main forces pressed hard at the Western Front. The message sent by the scout stopped Di army’s proceeding pace. Di Qing and Lin Xiaosa discussed to disperse the military forces to besiege the Southern Front. And then, Madam Yun would just be a fish in the barrel partitioned by Di army at will. The general who was supposed to guard on the Southern Front fled to the Jin City. Seeing the person was Yan Shen, the guard hurried to report to the commander. Zhan Ming was shocked, because Yan Shen should be guarding on the Southern Front. Why did Yan Shen come back to the Jin City? Zhan Ming had the news sent to the Commander in Chief’s camp hurriedly. Upon hearing the news, Xu Linghe smashed the Commander in Chief’s chair in a fit of anger. How could Yan Shen disobey the military orders and desert the ranks in the battlefield? Xu Linghe walked out of the cam and ran to the city wall. Zhan Ming saluted to Xu Linghe. And the two stood on the city wall. Looking at Zhan Ming, Yan Shen kept waving at him under the city wall, hoping Zhan Ming could open the city gate as soon as possible. If things would drag on like that, Di army was about to arrive. Zhan Ming frowned and worried about his brother. A soldier would die on the battlefield rather than run away. It was shameless to be a lamster. Zhan Ming turned around, unwilling to see Yan Shen. Xu Linghe threw a cold glance under the city wall. Whosoever dared to disobey the military orders would be killed. Under the strong pressure, Yan Shen did not dare to look at Xu Linghe. One hour had passed when Yan Shen arrived there. Xu Lingher ordered the guard to open the city gate. Yan Shen ran to his old master immediately. Only then did the lamster realize how serious the matter was! He knelt on the ground and grasped his old family master’s clothes tightly. Yan Shen (the old master) could not bring himself to see it, because he treated the man in front as his own son. Since Yan Bao had died, the old master wanted to keep him by the side, but he did not dare to speak of his request. It was a capital crime for a leading vanguard to desert on the eve of the battle. It was the ultimate sin. Governance relied on severity. Without strict disciplines, the Yan army would be like a heap of loose sand. Faced with penalty and death, everyone should be treated equally. Yan Shen (the old master) shook off the hands and turned around. Xu Linghe gave a palm, and then Yan Shen (the young man) spat out fresh blood. The palm with one hundred percent of strength broke the young man’s heart meridians. In the pool of blood, he widened his eyes to beg that his old master could save him. Then, Xu Linghe closed his eyes and gave one more palm. The corpse was thrown into the mid-air and fell down slowly. Soldiers on the city wall were too frightened to see it and could not help but touch their necks, and they felt lucky that their heads were still on the necks. The death of Yan Shen (the young man) taught a lesson to the Yan army that being a lamster would lead a person to nowhere but a road to death. And the Commander in Chief would not be uncompromising to anyone who dared to violate the military orders.

Xu Linghe assembled the main forces. He had planned to launch the final fight in the Jin City, but unexpectedly, Yan Shen (the young man) ruined the overall situation. Being the Commander in Chief, Xu Linghe needed the people’s support. Now, Madam Yu was desperately guarding the Southern Front, and Xu Linghe could not leave her in the lurch, because if he did nothing, it would chill soldiers’ hearts. If they were not of one heart, how could they guard the Jin City? Before leaving, Yan Shen (the old master) gave him a letter enveloped by oiled paper, and told him over and over again to read it. Xu Linghe led fifty thousand of soldiers to the Southern Front, with one hundred thousand leaving in the Jin City for reinforcement in time.

Warfire lit the sky brightly on the Southern Front. Di army was divided into ten groups to the South. Madam Yu’s naga army had made preparations—to set traps 5 kilometers around the barrack and bury Zhuoguang’s poisonous thorns. As long as Di soldiers stamped on the mechanism, poisonous iron cleek would fall from the sky and form a poisonous net. Madam Yu’s naga soldiers rubbed themselves with naga oil and were determined to destroy the artillery battalion at the cost of their lives, because the people of the Jin City could not bear the torment of the warfire any longer.

Di Qing’s large force was bearing down upon the border, as burning and killing all the way. Shili Town, in the Southern Front of the Jin City, was the place that Yan Shen was responsilble to guard. But because of his cowardice, he fled from Shili Town, and now the town was garrisoned by Madam Yu and her army. Lin Xiaosa and Di Qing marched in two directions respectively. Di Qing bypassed the Southern Front to the Jin City while Lin Xiaosa stayed in the Southern Front to fight against Madam Yu. The Jin City was guarded by one hundred thousands of soldiers, while on the Southern Front, there was only five thousands of Madam Yu’s soldiers. Lin Xiaosa launched the attack first. The artillery battalion followed Di Qing to the Jin City. So without the artillery, Lin Xiaosa’s soldiers were in low spirits. Madam Yu sent thousands of soldiers to lure the enemy. As long as the enemies entered the ambush, Madam Yu was sure to drag Di army with the assistance of Zhuoguang’s poison so as to earn more time for the Jin City. Lin Xiao brandished his sword, and Di soldiers rushed up together. Madam Yu took the lead with thousands of soldiers out of the Shili Town. Along the way were spotted with mechanisms. Madam Yu avoided the mechanisms and rushed to the Qi’s barrack. Di troops surrounded Madam Yu with a pincer attack. Then, the naga army conjured the true body, and the fish tail extended and chopped at Di army. Lin Xiaosa slashed the fish tail into parts. Madam Yu blocked the assault and retreated from the enemy’s barrack slowly. But how could Lin Xiaosa spare Madam Yu? He ran out of the barrack, protected by Qi’s troops. Madam Yu rejoices in her heart, because her coming purpose was to lure the enemy, and now the Qi’s Commander in Chief was being taken in. Then, Madam Yu revealed her flaw deliberately. Lin Xiaosa waved his sword and stabbed to Madam Yu without hesitation. Madam Yu felt pain on the back, and blood wetted her back. Her Spirit Power protected her, and naga soldiers also guarded her to withdraw to the Shili Town. Lin Xiaosa led Qi army to chase her. When they entered the ambush in the Southern Front, Madam Yu flew up, and the Di army fell into the trap. Impacted by Spirit Power, the mechanisms were triggered and a skyful of iron cleek came down to Di’s soldiers. Lin Xiaosa said to himself, “Terrible!”, and tried to run out of the trap. Madam Yu found his intention and conjured a spiritual net to cover him solidly. Di soldiers had been crouched with fear, and got more panic when seeing their Commander in Chief get trapped. The iron cleek darted at Lin Xiaosa, and Di soldiers ran to protect him. Next second, their clothes burned with smoke, and pains made the soldiers wave sabers wildly. Madam Yu manipulated the poisonous cleeks, and her spiritual fingers turned around. Then, poisonous cleeks with Spirit Power flew to Qi army. Everywhere they went was burnt with smoke. Di army was in a panic. Naga poison could swallow a person’s mind. It was Zhuguang Mount’s rank poison. It was the poison which Ming Zhu had used that could almost kill Wuyou. The only antidotes of the strange poison in the world were the Heavenly Book and naga’s elixir. Otherwise, anyone poisoned had no way but to die.
