Chapter Thirteen: Plunged into Despair

  Bang! Leng Xiangyao fell to the ground, feeling a sweetness in his throat, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. He quickly made a fish-like movement, sweeping his small sword at the surrounding beast soldiers, forcing them back. After catching his breath, he killed off the surrounding beast soldiers one by one with a few swift movements.

  "Xiao Yao, are you alright?" At this moment, Xing Zi also killed the last beast soldier and squeezed to Xiao Yao's side, followed by Gao Yi Tian and others.

  Leng Xiao Yao gazed at the concerned eyes of Xing Zi Xue and others, a surge of excitement rising in his heart. These were comrades, it seemed that these people were trustworthy brothers. From this moment on, Leng Xiao Yao had already regarded Xing Zi Xue and others as his true brothers.

  "I'm fine, but that big guy's strength is really impressive." Leng Xiao Yao replied with a slightly pale face.

  "Hurry up, that guy is coming again." Xingzi's face turned urgent as he shouted and raised the giant sword in his hand, ordering Gao Yitian and the others: "You few, quickly head towards the main force to kill, I'll cut off the rear, go!"

  Looking around at the endless beast soldiers pressing in, a flash of killing intent crossed his face: "Captain, we can't escape. Why don't you and I join forces to deal with that big guy? Let Gao Da Ge and the others form a tight circle to protect themselves."

  "Alright." As he looked around, he saw the number of beast soldiers closing in and knew that everything Leng Xiao Yao had said was true. If they tried to force their way out now, it was likely that his team of ten would be completely annihilated. It seemed like they had no choice but to take a gamble, hoping that the main forces could quickly eliminate the enemies surrounding them; otherwise, his team of ten would have to make their last stand here today.

  "Up." Leng Xiao Yao was the type of person who acted on his words, and after getting permission from Xue Yu, he swiftly swung the sharp short sword in his hand towards the leaping leopard.

  "Looking for death." The leopard suddenly produced a long sword from somewhere, but he seemed to have a fear of the short sword in Leng Xue's hand and gave up on a hard fight with him.

  "Captain, I'll take care of the upper route, you take the lower one." Leng Xiao Yao took a glance and saw that Leopard's lower body movements were not as agile as his upper half.

  "Good." Han Zifeng saw the endless calculations of Leng Xiangyang, and his heart was also filled with surprise, but at this moment he was still very wise and didn't ask out loud. After all, on the battlefield, as long as you lose focus for a moment, the next moment you might become a corpse on the sand.

  After more than ten minutes of fighting, the leopard gradually fell into a disadvantage from its initial upper hand. After all, there is always a moment when one's energy and strength are exhausted. At this moment, the leopard's physical strength and energy had been almost completely consumed, so in both offense and defense, it had already made great concessions.

  On the contrary, Leng Xiang was getting more and more spirited by the minute, as if he had endless energy to spare. This situation shocked both Meng Hu and Xing Zixuan.

  "Slash!" The leopard was momentarily distracted, and before he knew it, a long gash appeared on his chest and abdomen, with fresh blood quickly staining his clothes.

  The leopard rolled on the ground, avoiding Cold Blood's external killing move. The beast soldiers around immediately filled in the leopard's position and killed towards Cold Blood.

  "Looking for death." Leng Xiangyao was now more and more excited, he only felt the benefits that the Chaos Pearl brought to him at this moment, unexpectedly having endless power. Fighting until now, others had already begun to show signs of fatigue, while he seemed to have just started fighting, his physical strength was fully replenished.

  After a few flashes of sword light, the dozen or so beast soldiers who were trying to kill Leng Xiao Yao all fell to the ground. A cluster of grey shadows that no one else could see reappeared on Leng Xiao Yao's forehead and flashed in.

  "This is terrible, and there's still someone beside him." Leng Xiao Yao thought to herself that things were not good, and she glanced at Xing Zhan who was fighting beside her with a look of complete unawareness, only then did her anxiety ease up.

  "Ah!" A miserable cry rang out, and Leng Xiangyao's eyes swept over the scene before him. His killing intent grew even more intense as he saw that his companion Qin Hao had been stabbed through the abdomen by a beast soldier with a long spear. At this moment, a stream of fresh blood was gushing out of Qin Hao's abdomen, and he looked like he was on the verge of collapse. Gao Yitian and the others were not much better off either - each person had more or less injuries on their bodies. Looking at them, it seemed as though they were trying to endure their own pain, but in reality, their main goal was not to disturb Leng Xiangyao's battle with the two men.

  "Kill!" Leng Xiao Yao let out a loud roar, the sound of which was like thunder exploding, startling the beast soldiers around him, and even himself. With his short sword in hand, he charged forward like an angry dragon, killing his way through the beast soldiers until he reached Gao Yi Tian's side, where not a single beast soldier remained by Leng Xiao Yao's side.

  "Xiao Hao, are you alright?!" Xing Zi asked anxiously, as he saw Qin Hao's face turning paler and paler. If they didn't get him treated soon, Qin Hao might really kick the bucket here.

  Qin Hao's pale and bloodless face squeezed out a faint smile, responding: "Captain, I'm fine, don't worry about me, put me down, you lead the brothers to break out, quickly."

  Xingzi heard Qin Hao's words and his face turned red with anger, scolding: "Get out of my sight! Although I'm not a big shot, I won't abandon my own brother. Stop talking nonsense, the enemy is attacking again. Weng Yang, carry Qin Hao on your back, Xiao Yao, come with me to clear the way, we'll fight our way back."

  Since the battle just now, Xing Zi Xue no longer dares to underestimate this small partner in front of him. You know that he was forced into a desperate situation by his beastman opponent earlier, while the beastman opponent was forced to flee by Leng Xiao Yao. It's clear how much pressure Leng Xiao Yao put on the beastman just now, so this time Xing Zi Xue let Leng Xiao Yao and him work together to open the way. He believes that with Leng Xiao Yao's strange skills, his own pressure will be greatly reduced.

  "Yes, Captain." replied Leng Xiao Yao and Weng Yang simultaneously.

  "One day, Lie Huo, Hua Lian, you three will take turns fighting, and the next one will replace immediately. If anyone can't fight anymore, just say so, and the rest of you will be ready to replace at any time, got it?"

  "Yes, captain."

  He smiled coldly and said, "Now it's your turn, kid. Don't hide anything, bring out all you've got!"

  "Yes, captain." Leng Xiao was unaware of his own mischievous behavior.

  "Kill!" Seeing the enemy surging forward again in front of him, he let out a loud shout and swung his long sword, charging towards the Tiger Gate.

  In the Beastman Legion, the leopard gazed solemnly ahead at the ten-man squad, his abdomen now wrapped in a colorful bandage, apparently having been bandaged.

  "Third squad, launch an attack. Your mission is to wipe out that ten-man team." The leopard ordered a nearby chiliarch.

  "Yes, Captain." A chiliarch stood up on horseback and beckoned to the dense beast soldiers behind him. Immediately, a team of about 1,000 people rushed out from the crowd and charged towards the ten-man team led by Leng Xianyao on the field.

  "Damn it, when did these beastmen become so despicable." Lin Xue saw that the thousand-man squad was charging towards his small squad again and couldn't help but curse, because he saw the gloating expression on the distant leopard's face.

  He was distracted by the insult and immediately lost focus, and in a moment of distraction, he was ambushed by a beast soldier and suffered a bloody wound on his left abdomen, caused by a long spear attack.

  "It's terrible." As he practiced on his own, he felt the fresh blood in his body flowing faster and faster, his eyes began to get a bit dizzy, and he swung the long sword in his hand. His gaze swept around the battlefield, and when he saw an abandoned catapult about ten meters away from him on the left side, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said to Leng Xiao: "Xiao, do you see that giant stone cart on the left?"

  Leng Xiangyao's heart also became anxious when he saw Hang Zixue getting injured just now. Although he could guarantee that he could break through the encirclement, his brothers behind him couldn't! At this moment, hearing Hang Zixue's question, his eyes scanned the battlefield and immediately spotted the place Hang Zixue was talking about. His eyes lit up as he said, "Captain, let's charge in that direction!"

  "Good!" Han Zixuan couldn't help but admire him, saying to himself: "This kid's future is definitely boundless."

  After dozens of minutes of intense fighting, Xing Zixue finally killed his way to the abandoned giant stone chariot. At this moment, there were only two figures in front of the abandoned giant stone chariot, one was Xing Zixue and the other was Leng Xiao. The rest had all hidden inside the giant stone chariot.

  Ten minutes later, the movements of the self-study journey became slower and slower, with more and more wounds on his body. At this moment, the self-study journey was completely a will to persist in fighting, with the possibility of falling down at any time.

  "Not good." Lan Xingyao, as an elite among elites, naturally saw at a glance that Han Yixiao was already on the verge of collapse. If he continued to fight, even if he didn't die, his body would suffer severe injuries. So he shouted towards the abandoned catapult: "Lihuo!"

  "Relaxed, what's up?" Since the series of battles earlier, the brothers in the team had unconsciously started treating Leng Xiao Yao as the vice-captain. So when Xiao Yao called out, Wang Lie Huo was the first to respond.

  Leng Xiao Yao knocked down several beast soldiers who were preparing to ambush the self-taught king, and roared at Wang Lie Huo who came out: "Take the captain in, you don't come out either."

  "Are you going alone?" Wang Lie's eyes were filled with worry.

  "No nonsense, quickly help the captain in. Half of these medicines are for external use and half for internal use, hurry up." Leng Xiao took advantage of the moment when the enemy had not yet surged forward to take out two exquisite small porcelain bottles from his pocket. These were extracted from the medicinal herbs found in the back mountain by Leng Xiao after he arrived at the back mountain in secret. Don't forget, in his previous life, Leng Xiao was a chemistry Ph.D., that's not a fake title.

  Wang Liehuo saw Leng Xiao's confident eyes and for some reason, he had a feeling in his heart that made him trust him. He opened his mouth and said: "Xiao, be careful yourself, if you can't hold on, remember to call your brothers."

  "Kill!" The beast soldiers surged forward once again.

  "Let's go." The cold and elegant sword that could cut through anything shone with light once again.
