Chapter 343 Please do as you wish
Gao Xingchen's eyes were as sharp as torches, and with a flash of his sword, he pushed back Elder Li's fierce attack. He knew very well that he couldn't lose his composure at this moment, as the fate of Xingchen Pavilion hung on a thread.
"Li'er, activate the 'Heavenly Net'!" Gao Xingchen gave an order, and Nan Li's figure flew to a corner of the hall like a ghost, and her jade hand pressed on an inconspicuous stone brick.
In an instant, the entire hall shook violently. Elder Li and others were caught off guard. The ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked open, revealing a pitch-black abyss.
"Oh no! There's a trap!" Elder Li exclaimed and hurriedly used his spiritual power to escape, but found that he had been bound by an invisible force and could not move.
"Elder Li, you betrayed your master and colluded with foreign enemies. Today is the day you die!" Gao Xingchen's voice was as cold as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell.
"Hmph, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. You can kill me or chop me up as you please!" Elder Li knew that he could not escape death today, so he simply closed his eyes and waited for death.
Gao Xingchen ignored Elder Li's shouting and turned to the trapped traitor disciples and said, "For the sake of our past friendship, I will give you a chance. Put down your weapons and I can spare your lives!"
Those disciples looked at each other, and finally some of them couldn't resist the temptation of life, dropped their weapons, knelt down and begged for mercy.
At Gao Xingchen's command, Xuanfeng took several disciples to control the surrendered disciples, while those traitors who resisted stubbornly were all killed.
"Xingchen, what's the situation outside?" After dealing with Elder Li and others, Nanli came to Gao Xingchen with a hint of worry in his tone.
"Alliance Leader Zhao's army has surrounded the Xingchen Pavilion. We are now attacked from both sides." Gao Xingchen's face was solemn, but his eyes were shining with determination. "But don't worry, I will definitely protect the Xingchen Pavilion and you!"
Nan Li gently held Gao Xingchen's hand and said softly: "I believe you!"
At this time, outside the Xingchen Pavilion, the shouts of killing were deafening, and the army of Alliance Leader Zhao had begun to attack the mountain gate.
Xuan Feng hurried over to report: "Pavilion Master, Alliance Leader Zhao's army is coming fiercely, we can't resist it anymore!"
Gao Xingchen said in a deep voice: "Pass the order down, all disciples must stay at their posts and defend Xingchen Pavilion to the death!"
"Yes!" Xuanfeng took the order and left.
Gao Xingchen looked at the dark mass of enemy troops outside, his heart was calm. He knew that this battle had just begun, and there would be more severe tests waiting for him.
At this time, night fell quietly, casting a more mysterious color on this war...
As night fell, the Xingchen Pavilion was enveloped in a tense atmosphere. Gao Xingchen stood on the attic, looking at the flickering fire in the enemy camp in the distance, his face solemn.
"Xingchen, let me go." Nan Li walked to Gao Xingchen and said firmly, "My assassination skills can disrupt the enemy to the greatest extent and buy time for our counterattack."
Gao Xingchen hesitated for a moment. He knew that Nanli's proposal was the best option at the moment, but he was still worried: "Li'er, there must be many experts in the enemy camp. You must be careful and cautious, and don't act recklessly."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Nan Li smiled slightly, gave Gao Xingchen a reassuring look, and then disappeared into the night like a wisp of smoke.
Nan Li was wearing a nightgown, moving through the enemy camp like a ghost. With her keen perception and superb assassination skills, she quietly approached the enemy commander's tent.
The lights in the tent were bright, and several generals were discussing the attack plan around a map. Nan Li hid in the shadows, patiently waiting for the best time to strike.
"Report—" A messenger hurried into the tent and knelt on one knee, "Reporting to Alliance Leader Zhao, our army's food and grass have been robbed, and the loss is heavy!"
"What?!" Alliance Leader Zhao stood up suddenly, furious. "Who did it? Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!"
Just as everyone was in panic, a cold light flashed, and a general fell in a pool of blood without even having time to let out a scream.
"Enemy attack! There is an assassin!" The tent was suddenly in chaos. Nan Li took advantage of the chaos to attack again and killed several generals in succession, including Military Advisor Sun who was in charge of the command.
Alliance Leader Zhao realized that the situation was not good and hurriedly drew his sword to resist, but found that he could not catch sight of Nan Li at all.
"Who are you? Why do you want to be an enemy of my Xingchen Pavilion?" Nan Li's voice was like a call from hell, icy and chilling.
"Hmph, if you want to blame someone, blame your Xingchen Pavilion for blocking other people's way!" Alliance Leader Zhao roared, swung his sword in the direction where the sound came from, but only hit a ball of air.
Nan Li's figure disappeared again, leaving only one sentence echoing in Alliance Leader Zhao's ears: "Your doomsday has come..."
Leader Zhao was horrified to find that the sword in his hand had broken into two pieces. Before he could react, he felt a chill in his chest, and a dagger had pierced his heart...
Nan Li successfully assassinated the enemy's main general and several important generals, completely disrupting the enemy's command system and buying precious time for the Xingchen Pavilion's counterattack.
At the same time, Gao Xingchen led the main force and went around the enemy's rear through a secret passage according to the route arranged in advance by Military Advisor Sun.
"Kill!" Following Gao Xingchen's order, the disciples of Xingchen Pavilion rushed into the enemy camp like a tiger descending from a mountain and launched a fierce attack.
The enemy's rear was in chaos and they were unable to organize an effective resistance. They were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties...
Alliance Leader Zhao was immersed in the joy of victory, but suddenly received news of an attack from the rear, and was immediately poured with cold water. He never thought that Xingchen Pavilion would dare to split its forces to attack, and he never thought that they could successfully break through his defense line.
"Damn Gao Xingchen! Cunning Nanli!" Alliance Leader Zhao was furious, but he had to face reality. He gritted his teeth and ordered, "Pass the order down, order Deputy General Sun to lead 30,000 elite troops to return to support, and make sure to wipe out the Xingchen Pavilion's sneak attack troops!"
The news of Sun Junshi's death had not spread yet, and Zhao could only hope that his deputy general could stabilize the situation in the rear. However, the pressure on the front battlefield was reduced as a result.
Gao Xingchen keenly noticed that the enemy's offensive had weakened. He knew that this was all thanks to Nan Li. He raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, we have breached the enemy's rear. Now is the best time to counterattack! Follow me and kill!"
The disciples of Xingchen Pavilion were already full of confidence in Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, and now their morale was boosted, rushing towards the enemy like a flood. They were all brave and good at fighting, and under the leadership of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, they stabbed into the enemy camp like a sharp knife, tearing the already chaotic enemy army into even more pieces.
Xuanfeng has been guarding Gao Xingchen. He witnessed with his own eyes how Gao Xingchen turned the tide of a battle that was originally at a disadvantage with his extraordinary courage and strategy, and he was full of admiration.
"Master, Madam is truly a genius. Once this plan comes out, Alliance Leader Zhao will surely be in a state of panic. We are sure to win!" Xuanfeng said excitedly.
Gao Xingchen smiled slightly, but his eyes were gleaming with worry: "Li'er is taking risks alone, and I am always worried. Pass the order down, tell the brothers to be extra careful and make sure the lady is safe!"
"Yes!" Xuanfeng took the order and left.
The battle lasted a whole night, and the disciples of Xingchen Pavilion, with their tenacious perseverance, finally repelled the first wave of enemy attacks. However, the joy of victory was overshadowed by heavy casualties.
Gao Xingchen looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground, feeling extremely sad. He knew that the war was far from over and greater challenges were still to come.
Just as he was about to gather everyone to discuss the next plan, a disciple hurried over with a letter in his hand.
"Master, this was sent by a mysterious person."
Gao Xingchen frowned slightly, took the letter, opened it, and his expression suddenly became solemn. There was only one sentence in the letter:
"The enemy's food and fodder are full of mysteries."
This short sentence was like a thunderclap, exploding in Gao Xingchen's mind. He realized that the information revealed in this letter might become the turning point of this war...
The first rays of dawn broke through the night, covering the devastated battlefield with a layer of blood. The air was filled with smoke and the nauseating smell of blood. Broken battle flags and broken weapons were scattered everywhere, silently telling of the brutality of last night's battle.
The disciples of Xingchen Pavilion were exhausted, but their faces were filled with the joy of victory. They defeated the enemy with fewer troops and successfully resisted the first wave of attacks from Alliance Leader Zhao, which greatly boosted their morale.
Gao Xingchen stood on a high place, looking into the distance with a frown on his face. The joy of victory was soon replaced by a heavy heart. He knew that this was just the beginning, and that Zhao would never give up, and that more severe challenges were still to come.
"Master, are you okay?" Xuanfeng walked to Gao Xingchen, handed him a pot of water, and asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Gao Xingchen took the canteen, but did not drink from it. Instead, he held it tightly in his hand. "Pass the order down, and let the brothers take the time to rest and be ready to meet the next wave of enemy attacks at any time."
Gao Xingchen looked around. In addition to the disciples of Xingchen Pavilion, there were also many Jianghu independent cultivators who came to support. Most of these people came for the reputation of Gao Xingchen and Nanli. They hoped to gain some credit in this battle, and even more hoped to join Xingchen Pavilion and become a member of it.
Gao Xingchen was just about to gather everyone to discuss the next plan when a disciple hurried over with a letter in his hand.
This short sentence was like a thunderclap, exploding in Gao Xingchen's mind. He realized that the information revealed in this letter might become the turning point of this war.
"Food and grass..." Gao Xingchen muttered to himself, countless possibilities flashing through his mind.
"What's wrong? What did the letter say?" Xuanfeng asked hurriedly when he saw Gao Xingchen's strange expression.
Gao Xingchen didn't say anything, but handed the letter to Xuanfeng. After reading it, Xuanfeng was also shocked.
"Master, what you mean is..."
"There must be something wrong with the enemy's food supplies!" Gao Xingchen said firmly, "Perhaps this is the key to our turning the tide of the battle!"
At this time, Nan Li also returned to Gao Xingchen. She had just finished dealing with some things and her face was still a little pale.
"Li'er, you're back." Gao Xingchen came forward and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Sorry to have made you worried." Nan Li smiled slightly, then saw the letter in Gao Xingchen's hand, "What is this?"
Gao Xingchen handed the letter to Nan Li and briefly explained the situation. After reading the letter, Nan Li frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
"The enemy's food and grass are full of mysteries..." Nan Li muttered to himself, with a wise light flashing in his eyes, "It seems that we need to investigate it carefully."
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other and saw firm faith in each other's eyes. They knew that this battle was far from over and greater challenges were still ahead. But they were ready. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, they would fight side by side until they achieved the final victory!
