Bianjing, Imperial Palace.
When the heroes arrived, the situation at the Imperial Palace was completely different from what they had expected.
The Sect Leader of the Golden Saber Sect, Shao Yong, was nothing more than a headless corpse, pinned to the palace gate by a long spear.
His disciples were still fighting fiercely, but had been cornered into a dead end.
If the Jin soldiers hadn’t wanted to capture soone alive, these disciples would have already beco hedgehogs.
Bai Pu glanced at Shao Jifei, the senior disciple of the Golden Saber Sect.
Well, this senior disciple of the Golden Saber Sect should be congratulated in advance for taking over the position of sect leader.
But Shao Jifei showed no joy, his face pale as a ghost.
"How is it possible, how is it possible... Master had such high martial skills, how could he lose to the Golden Dogs?"
If Shao Yong had died under a volley of Breaking Air Crossbows, Shao Jifei could have accepted it.
But now, looking at Shao Yong’s corpse, it was clear he was decapitated head-on!
Bai Pu looked up to see a tall man standing in front of the shadow wall of the Inner Garden. He was two ters tall, wearing a Wolf Fang Helt, covered in heavy armor, leaning on a Crescent Long Saber, its blade still stained with drying blood.
In Bai Pu’s vision, the na of this Golden General erged.
Che Li Buhua (Golden)
Power 100, Agility 67, Endurance 80, Spirit 33
A Golden Na, representing the template of an Enhanced Leader.
After five seconds of staring, the comprehensive combat power of the Golden General Che Li Buhua was revealed:
2005.
"About 200 less combat power than Iron Beggar and Qin, but still has a clear advantage against most leaders with around 1500 combat power."
Under Shao Jifei’s lead, the disciples of the Golden Saber Sect were the first to enter the battle. Other martial heroes also joined in, even the mbers of the Iron Staff Gang, swinging their iron staffs, clashed with the Jin soldiers.
Bai Pu noticed that these Jin soldiers, when facing martial artists, surprisingly had no apparent disadvantage.
They were naturally brave and strong, with each displaying a white na, signifying they had attributes of an ordinary template, distinctly different from template-less commoners.
Three Jin soldiers would form a team, with one holding a wooden shield in the middle for defense, while the other two on the sides thrust with long spears, showing remarkable coordination, like a martial arts master with three heads and six arms.
Most of the martial heroes were of the elite template. Although they had True Qi as a special professional energy slot, allowing for flexible combat, when faced with the battle formation of three Jin soldiers, they found it difficult to find an opening.
Even suffering True Qi loss or injury to take down one three-man formation, two more would imdiately fill the gap.
Elite-level martial artists still couldn’t beco invulnerable to weapons; being pierced by long spears would still cause injury and bleeding, and with a few stabs in the belly, death was the only outco.
Even leaders like the four Great Elders of the Iron Staff Gang, when besieged by so elite Jin soldier leaders, could only manage to defend themselves, dreaming of quickly turning the tide was absolutely impossible.
There were also skilled martial artists among the Jin soldiers. The West Hua Five Tigers and the Xiangxi Four Fiends were well-known for their unscrupulousness. Disguised in Jin soldier attire, they hid among the soldiers, occasionally delivering a sinister blow, forcing the Central Plains heroes to stay vigilant at all tis.
Iron Beggar Luo Qianhui saw the situation was deadlocked, with more Jin soldiers continuously arriving, realizing there was no ti to delay. He turned and said softly, "Ms. Hongyi, you and your master, join this old beggar in the fight! ... Huh? Where’s your master?"
Qin replied with a smile, "My master has sothing minor to attend to, will be back shortly. Master Luo, I’ll storm the formation with you and kill that Jin General first."
Two powers of enhanced leader level entering the field simultaneously, their might was indeed extraordinary.
Luo Qianhui’s iron staff had the force to break stone tablets, and with a flick of his hand, a heavy shadow of the staff fell, and the Jin soldier shield-bearer attempting to block was sent flying along with shield.
The three-man formation was shattered without being attacked, and Luo Qianhui’s iron staff swept left and right, causing the bones of the two Jin soldier spearn to go soft, and they were instantly killed.
Qin’s thods were even more unpredictable. She released a blood-colored energy wave that bounced between the Jin soldiers, with those hit turning pale, as if large amounts of blood had been drained, falling into a negative state.
Following that, Qin clenched her five fingers, causing a blood orb to burst, sending a ripple of blood that slew seven or eight Jin soldiers.
The exotic shouts rang out, and the Jin General Che Li Buhua roared and leaped into the field, his saber slashing towards Luo Qianhui.
Clang! Their weapons clashed head-on, both feeling a tremor through their bodies, with both faces turning solemn. They both put away any underestimation and began to fight cautiously, one move at a ti.
Che Li Buhua fought with the vigor of blood and guts, his attacks forceful and heavy. Luo Qianhui, however, followed an external hard and fierce path, but his lightweight skills were better, his body technique more agile, unwilling to wrestle brute force with Che Li Buhua.
The nurous Jin soldiers could have ford a formation to restrict Luo Qianhui.
But Qin continuously fired blood arrows. Each arrow hitting the approaching Jin soldiers created an eerie and cold energy that penetrated straight into their hearts!
Jin soldiers fell while wailing, and for the mont, no one dared to rush forward.
The battle continued to be stalemated, yet the situation had already begun to shift in favor of the Central Plains martial heroes.
The Iron Beggar having the slight upper hand against the Jin Kingdom’s general, but turning that advantage into victory needed patience.
Swoosh! The tip of the Iron Beggar’s staff jabbed Che Li Buhua’s shoulder socket, though there was still a gap of one or two inches. The Iron Beggar channeled True Qi, a sharp edge shot through the staff tip, making a dent in Che Li Buhua’s shoulder.
Che Li Buhua cried out in pain with a string of exotic yelps.
However, Qin understood that it was a call for his Jin soldiers to fire a signal!
From behind the shadow wall, a firework signal shot into the sky and exploded in the night sky.
Qin didn’t interfere, being too far away. She continued with the Iron Beggar to intensify the assault on Che Li Buhua.
However, with Che Li Buhua having sent out the distress signal, he defended without attacking, actually blocking most of the Iron Beggar’s offensive.
Only Qin’s Blood Magic could bypass Che Li Buhua’s sabre defense, causing so damage. Yet such threats were trivial to a seasoned general like Che Li Buhua, whose thick skin and firm flesh left him largely unbothered.
In the midst of the fierce battle, the sound of horns echoed, and two more groups of Jin soldiers flanked from the left and right. To the shock, there were two imposing and robust Jin Generals leading them.
"How are there two more?"
Luo Qianhui exclaid, "The intelligence clearly said only Che Li Buhua stayed in Bianjing City!"
The battlefield situation was reversed once more.
The entry of fresh Jin reinforcents plunged the Central Plains heroes, already at a disadvantage, deeper into misfortune, only able to sustain with difficulty.
The newly arrived Jin Generals brandished their weapons, slaughtering the Central Plains heroes with heads rolling, blood flowing everywhere!
