Chapter 422 - 306: Four-Way Melee (7)

"Excellent. The enemy has gone in Pursuit of Tang Ruan. We’ll take this opportunity to launch a surprise Attack from behind. Charge and cut them all down!" Gu Qing’s voice wasn’t loud, but all the Female Soldiers heard her clearly. The Female Soldiers gripped their Two-Handed Phoenix Cry Sabers tightly and quickly caught up with the enemy Soldiers ahead.

Although the enemy Soldiers wore Iron Armor, this was an Attack from behind. Caught entirely off guard, they took the full, devastating Power of the Two-Handed Shadow-Carrying Phoenix Cry Sabers head-on. These were two-handed Big Sabers, after all. Hacked straight into their bodies, even Iron Armor couldn’t stop the blades. After a few Continuous Dance Combat Skills, the enemy suffered dozens of casualties. All were slaughtered from behind with effortless ease.

However, some of the enemy Soldiers at the rear soon reacted, turning around to fight back. The power of the Taunt was indeed useful, but it would lose its effect when the targets were in mortal danger or consumed by fear. The remaining enemy Soldiers hastily counterattacked, but how could they possibly be a match for these ferocious Female Soldiers whose Morale was at its peak? Their counterattack was weak and feeble, completely failing to display the True strength of Tier Two Soldiers. They could only raise their Shields in a panic, struggling desperately under the Female Soldiers’ Big Sabers. Before long, these enemy Soldiers were utterly routed, nearly entirely wiped out. The Female Soldiers caught up to the enemy once more, launching yet another round of slaughter.

Zhao Chi didn’t Attack the enemy Soldiers; his target was Xiao Li. Controlling Gu Qing’s long legs, he chased furiously, reaching Xiao Li’s back in just a few strides. He raised the Big Saber, but he didn’t swing it down. Gu Qing had seized back control of the arm.

"Huh? This is the first time," Zhao Chi thought. "What’s wrong, Gu Qing?"

"My Lord, should we cripple him first?" Gu Qing asked. "If we chop off his legs so he can’t run around, we can empty out the items in his System Space before killing him. We should have enough Time."

"...Alright," Zhao Chi agreed. Following Gu Qing’s suggestion, he bent down and delivered a sweeping slash.

CRACK!

With a single horizontal sweep, Xiao Li’s legs were cleanly severed at the thighs.

"Ah? Aaaaargh!"

Xiao Li collapsed with a bloodcurdling scream. His severed legs spewed bright red blood like ascending rockets blasting exhaust. Gu Qing immediately opened her mouth and spat out a thick stream of white paste, sealing Xiao Li’s wounds. Almost instantly, the stumps of his legs healed over. Xiao Li stared blankly at his Body, then at his spurting, detached legs nearby, his mind reeling in a daze.

But Gu Qing obviously didn’t give him any more Time to react. A massive amount of red silk sprayed out. The Spraying Silk was now thicker and tougher, with much higher stickiness, making it even harder to break free from than before. Xiao Li was glued into a messy, chaotic ball, completely unable to break free.

At this moment, an urgent roar came from ahead. "You’ve been hit by a Taunt! Snap out of it quickly, I will give you Treatment!"

Jin Wei rushed over, but he was still a step too late. He hurriedly used a Spiritual Technique. Several rays of light descended. Xiao Biao and all the remaining Soldiers snapped out of their daze. Those people’s eyes underwent a Recovery of clarity, and they swiftly judged the situation. But all they saw was a ground littered with corpses and over 120 panicked Soldiers.

Pointing at Gu Qing, Jin Wei shouted, "Form up your formation quickly! That woman is the commander. She crippled Xiao Li. Kill her first!"

Xiao Biao was stunned. "What? Xiao Li is crippled?"

"Isn’t it because you were hit by a Taunt?" Jin Wei roared angrily. "What were you idiots charging back for? Hurry up and finish off that woman! Madam Xiao Ning specifically sent me to help you. I will give you Treatment!"

Xiao Biao woke up as if from a dream. But a shadow suddenly loomed overhead. He hurriedly pushed Jin Biao away, shouting, "Dodge!"

WHOOSH!

The massive blade cleaved down, churning up the dirt on the ground. Jin Wei and Xiao Biao quickly retreated, their hearts pounding with lingering fear. Gu Qing pulled out the Big Saber.

"Gu Qing, I’ll control the Body," Zhao Chi said. "You take the left hand, and I’ll take the right. You handle the Spraying Silk, and I’ll handle the Attack."

"Hehe, what a nostalgic feeling," Gu Qing replied. "Then I’ll control the left eye, and you control the right eye, My Lord."

"Works for me," Zhao Chi agreed.

"Who is our first target?" Gu Qing asked.

"Pursue the one on the left. He can dispel the Abnormal State," Zhao Chi ordered.

"Understood," Gu Qing said.

Jin Wei looked at Gu Qing in surprise. "Eh? What are you looking at me for? Don’t... don’t come in Pursuit of me! I’m not a threat to you." He had originally come to provide support, but now he was fleeing frantically.

Xiao Biao, still shaken, watched Gu Qing chase after Jin Wei. He immediately and swiftly commanded the remaining 120-plus men. "Hurry up and form ranks! Frontline, hold up your Shields! Rearguard, Attack with your Spears! That woman is nothing to be afraid of; five of our Warriors can take her down. Jin Wei, run this way!"

Xiao Ning’s Soldiers were indeed well-trained. Despite losing dozens of men, the remaining Soldiers didn’t collapse. Instead, they Truly gathered together and organized a new formation. Sword Shields in the front, Long Spears in the back. The formation was tight and orderly. Even if their strength couldn’t match the Female Soldiers, charging in recklessly would definitely result in heavy casualties.

Zhao Chi’s fifty Female Swordsmen didn’t launch a rash Attack. Although they were strong, they were few in number and lacked any added survival Ability. A head-on charge would result in losses. The Female Soldiers naturally weren’t afraid. With their Morale at its peak, they were all eager to charge the enemy lines. However, Gu Qing had specifically warned them before the battle: Zhao Chi’s forces were small, so they couldn’t just fight wildly based on their own whims and suffer needless losses. They couldn’t afford to cause Zhao Chi any casualties. These Female Soldiers could only forcefully suppress the fighting spirit in their Inner Hearts. They mirrored the enemy by forming ranks in front of them, awaiting Zhao Chi’s orders.

Zhao Chi was well aware of the situation. He ordered, "Stand by! Maintain a standoff with the enemy. I will go deal with their Hero!"

"Understood!"

The Female Swordsmen raised their Shields and gripped their Big Sabers, standing tightly together to form a two-rank horizontal formation. Hearing Zhao Chi’s order, the enemy Soldiers all let out a breath of relief. Looking at the eyes of the Female Soldiers across from them, they all shuddered involuntarily.

How could such beautiful women have such freezing cold eyes?
