Chapter 26: The Sudden Outbreak of War

  Wu Tu had introduced him to Liangshan as a military strategist.

  A military general must be a skilled martial artist, but a skilled martial artist is not necessarily a military general. A martial artist who understands battle tactics meets the most basic condition of being a military general.

  Three arrows shot out slowly, but even though Liangshan was far away, it felt like thousands of horses and soldiers were shooting out. The old Taoist was trapped in an instant. Through the formation, the military family multiplied their individual martial power by several orders of magnitude.

  Yin Shangzi's dust sweep counterattack blocked two arrows, but one arrow slipped through and suddenly inserted into his left shoulder socket, pinning him directly to a wooden pillar that was hugged by two people.

  Yin Shangzi spat out a mouthful of blood, his complexion wan and weak. If the old Daoist hadn't been injured by Jing Shan's summoning of the Ghost King, he wouldn't be in such a state.

  "Go to hell!" Qin Lang let out a strange, eerie laugh and moved sideways like a bat, his curved knife flashing with an extremely cold light. At this moment, Liangshan felt as if a whirlwind had suddenly appeared out of thin air. When he looked again, Zhu Qingyun had already jumped between Qin Lang and Yin Shangzi, and in her hand was a giant sword that seemed to have appeared like a bolt of lightning on a sunny day.

  A loud crash like a dragon's roar, the giant sword and curved knife collided, instantly sparking countless sparks, while in the distance, the sound of continuous collapse of earth buildings was heard, after a day of heavy rain, the earth building became as fragile as tofu.

  Qin Lang was knocked flying by the entire thing, his curved knife thrown high into the air.

  "Kill them quickly!" Yin Shangzi shouted loudly.

  "Huge sword! Huge sword!" The Ma family disciples on the earthen building wall were excited to see the huge sword in Zhu Qingyun's hand, and they all shouted and knelt down one after another.

  What's going on? thought Liang Shan.

  Liáng Shān's feet trampled the flowing light, and people also scattered out. No matter what, his wife took the lead, and he couldn't retreat himself. Although it was for the sake of the Ma family, Liáng Shān was not willing to do so, but there was no way around it - after all, a husband follows his wife.

  "I don't want to kill anyone, leave!" said Zhu Qingyun.

  Liáng Shān looked up at his wife, saw her holding a sword in mid-air with a majestic and powerful appearance, and thought to himself that there was still quite a gap between them. He hastily said: "That Qin Lang, did you hear what my wife just said?" Before he had even finished speaking, the shadow of Qin Lang suddenly enlarged in Liáng Shān's pupils, this guy actually shot down from the wall of the earth building and charged straight at him.

  Damn it, really is a wolf's lair, too cunning. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have jumped out to be a hero. Liangshan reacted quickly and ran away with his feet slipping.

  Qin Lang let out a light cry, and surprisingly missed his target. He leapt up again in pursuit, his hand beckoning, and the curved knife that had been falling from the sky emitted a strange buzzing sound as it suddenly appeared, blocking Liang Shan's path. Liang Shan caught a glimpse of his wife still in a daze out of the corner of his eye, and he understood why even the old Daoist had fallen for it - these people may have had high cultivation levels, but their actual combat experience was really lacking. Dammit, if the tiger doesn't show its might, it'll be taken for a sick cat! Liang Shan flipped over with a somersault, firing off a phosphorus bomb at the curved knife, and as he flipped over, another phosphorus bomb shot straight at Qin Lang, who was hot on his heels. Only then did Zhu Qingyun finally stomp her foot, transforming into a white cloud that shot towards them like an arrow.

  Qin Lang had overestimated Liang Shanbo, this bookworm, but he didn't expect him to have such a move. A cold flame suddenly shot towards his face, and before it even reached him, a chill spread all over his body. Qin Lang dodged with an iron bridge, but his foot suddenly felt a sharp pain, and then he was lifted off the ground. It turned out that Liang Shan hadn't escaped, but instead got close to Qin Lang, and with a stroke of luck, he flicked his finger at Qin Lang's ankle.

  This is a godsend. Suddenly, Liang Shan was immersed in the feeling of playing "The Butterfly Lovers" before. The human body also has strings, and one shot must hit the mark.

  If it were someone else, even if Qin Lang had already laid down the iron bridge, his legs would still be as stable as a rock, not wanting to be shaken by this strange move from Liangshan, and he couldn't help but lift his feet, causing his whole body to fall.

  His reaction was extremely fast, his hand slapped the ground fiercely and his body leaped into the air, barely avoiding Zhu Qingyun's flying sword. His hand beckoned, a curved knife appeared in his hand, and a cold light flashed by, rushing straight towards Liangshan.

  Liáng Shān hastily dodged to the side, this was Zhù Qīngyún's giant sword being swung over, a shocking and deafening sound rang in his ears, fortunately it didn't rupture his eardrums.

  "Heaven! Earth! Man, Three Talents Arrow!"

  Hiss, hiss, hiss! Liangshan's mind was racing with anxiety. This guy shot another arrow, really leaving no room to breathe.

  The heavenly arrow seals the heavens, the earthly arrow seals the earth, and the human arrow seals humans. Standing behind Zhu Qingyun, Zhou Hong felt that his entire body was tightly bound, without a single gap for breathing, his eyes bulging out.

  "Explode!" Zhe Qingyun only shouted one sentence. The three arrows exploded into powder in mid-air. Qin Lang took a big step back, and blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth.

  "Kill!" Yin Shangzi drew out his arrow and jumped down from the wall of the earth building, brushing off the dust with a thousand silver threads, just like a sudden cow hair rain. "Ah! Ah!" Following Qin Lang's charge, more than ten guards covered their faces and fell to the ground, wailing continuously.

  "Retreat!" Qin Lang saw that things couldn't be done, and immediately gave the order. More than a dozen people blinked and jumped out of Qingyu Building to make a sudden rush outward.

  "Congratulations, Miss! Please let us help you!" Yin Shangzi shouted loudly.

  Qingyun turned around and said, "Master, you stay here!" As soon as she finished speaking, the giant sword suddenly appeared under her feet, and with a swift movement, one person and one sword flew out into the air.

  At the moment when the killing shout rose, Zhu Qingyun suddenly understood that repelling the invading bandits and keeping the Ma family's fortress safe was the cause of the effect.

  Sword immortal?! My wife! Liangshan was stunned, then reacted and shouted: "Wife, I'm going too! Husband and wife soldiers to the front line!" Liangshan rushed out, didn't grab his long spear, but instead picked up a brick and charged out shouting "Wa ya ya".

  Just rushed to the commercial street of Majiabao, the big iron bird in the sky was hit by three huge blue mangs, and it fell down with a burst of black smoke. The three big archways of Majiabao suddenly collapsed, and the dust was countless. Liangshan's face turned gray, his feet trembled, the enemy was very fierce, and he had an urge to turn around and run away.

  Liáng Shān suddenly jumped up and shouted loudly: "Stinky old Taoist! Stinky old Taoist! Go quickly!" As soon as the words left his mouth, he saw the old Taoist jump out, his sleeves fluttering like a big bird flying over the earthen building and rushing outside.

  Bang! The big iron bird opened from the top, a group of people rushed out in disarray. Liangshan was stunned for a moment, saw Wu Tu, and then there was a girl who looked like Zhao Wei.

  In front of Liangshan was a scene of the end of the world, he had thought that the solid and difficult-to-break earth building perimeter had completely collapsed, and the round Majiabao was like a half-eaten moon by the heavenly dog.

  Bandits swarmed in endlessly, not from afar but right before their eyes, wielding all sorts of weapons that glinted with a cold light. They were cheering, probably also finding it unbelievable that the strongest Majia Fortress had been nibbled away by half in an instant.

  Qingyun and Yin Shangzi appeared in the outer sky, causing a brief commotion among the mountain bandits. Many of them threw down their weapons and knelt down to worship, for this attack was far beyond their understanding.

  Three rays of light suddenly shot over, accompanied by a shocking loud noise. Liangshan hurriedly looked around in the direction of the sound, and far away, he saw three large cannons. He was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat, and when he looked up at the sky, he saw his wife wielding a giant sword, or rather, the giant sword carrying her in a chaotic dance.

  Three rays of light barely blocked, but the person was like a fallen leaf spinning in mid-air. Such a fairy was quite embarrassing. Liangshan was anxious and couldn't do anything, fortunately, Yin Shangzi didn't look at him, muttered to himself, spat out a mouthful of blood, then pulled out a dustpan from his back and swept it, sending thousands of silver threads flying through the air, not bad, the effect was better than a hail of arrows.

  "Fight to the death!" Wei Dao'er's body was covered in blood, his knife held horizontally as he shouted fiercely.

  The war drums sounded loudly, not allowing Liangshan to think much. Three or four hundred mountain bandits had already killed their way in. The leader was a tall and thin man with a very narrow face, as if he had been squeezed by a door, causing his eyes and eyebrows to have an outward "pushing" tendency.

  "Ride the wind!" An elder of the Mo family shouted sternly: "It's you!"

  "Long time no see, all is well!"

  "It's really you! Without the explosive crossbow, it wouldn't be so easy to break into Majiabao Tulou."

  "Exploding crossbow bolt, eight feet long, with a tip equipped with the latest gunpowder and 'explosion' character, nothing can withstand it." Wu Cheng said with a loud voice.

  "A small Ma family village is also troubling you people of the Wu surname!" The extremely old man coldly laughed.

  "Things are done, and they need to be tried out somewhere." Wu Chengfeng had an indifferent expression.

  "This is exactly what future generations would call a shameless arms dealer," thought Liang Shan.

  Liáng Shān looked at Wú Tǔ and saw that he was very familiar with the Mo family. He pulled him over and asked, "What does Mr. Wu do?"

  "Young master, the Wu and Mo families were originally two big families of the Mohist school. Ten years ago, they split up, with the Wu family leaving to specialize in attacking, while the Mo family followed their ancestors' teachings to specialize in defending." Wu Tu replied briefly.

  Oh, so that's how it is. Hmm, Wu knows quite a bit. However, at this moment, Liangshan has no time to ask more questions.

  "Mohist attack, Mohist attack! No one in the world can withstand it!" Mo Ling shouted. In that instant, a shield with sharp-edged leaves appeared in the hands of the Mohists, forming the simplest and most practical circular formation.

  "The martial family is invincible! Nothing can withstand it!" Wu shouted loudly in the strong wind.

  The atmosphere on the scene is tense and explosive.

  Two streaks of light flashed under Liangshan's feet, and he had already dodged between two groups of people. He shouted loudly: "Halt!"

  Wu was startled by the sudden gust of wind, who is this guy?!

  Mo Ling's big eyes rolled around and looked at Wu Tu, but saw that Wu Tu had a worried face.

  Liangshan's serious face suddenly "collapsed" and he said with a playful smile, "We're all friends, what's the need for this?"
