Chapter 15: The Counterattack of Xiang Siye (Part 1)

  As soon as the voice of Ba Suanzi's shout was heard, everyone in Hu Ge Village, near and far, could hear it clearly.

  Although some were unclear, the crowd still retreated to the outer circle with Cheng Xianhu as the leader. Suddenly, like rocks exposed after the tide receded, there were three people who did not follow the order in a place less than twenty zhang away from Jun Tian Tai.

  Although they all wore the standard uniform of the Huo family, Cheng Xianhu immediately recognized the slender young man among them and shouted in surprise and anger: "Xiao Si!"

  Xiao Si burst out laughing and said, "It's indeed your family's Xiao Si!" Since his tracks had been exposed, he no longer held back, exerting force underfoot as he rushed towards Jun Tian Tai, with Ye Fa Shang and Tang He Shuang protecting him on either side.

  "Little rabbit, have you eaten bear heart and swallowed leopard gall?" Yu Biao sprang up and launched a mid-air intercept.

  A tiny four-legged creature emerged from underfoot and shouted: "Old Dao, it's all yours!"

  Ye Fashan just thought of putting on a majestic air and saying: "Infinite Heavenly Lord, I am but a humble Daoist..."

  "Wayfarer's Inn!"

  Ye Fashan hummed and said: "I am outside the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements, how can I be confined to a mere Taoist temple..."

  Xiao Si interrupted him before he could finish speaking, saying: "Add another ten days of banquets, and you can eat as much as you want!"

  This sentence is more effective than any kind of spiritual medicine, Ye Fashan immediately nodded in agreement and said: "Roasted shrimp, fish seeds, pigeon milk, beef tendon..." He kept counting off the treasures on his tongue, and the dust flew out in a burst.

  Yu Fei's body was in mid-air and couldn't change moves, the Eagle Claw Magic Blade fiercely chopped and swept away the dust.

  The crisp sound of "ding", the eagle wing double blades flew out of his hand, and Yu Feng's body shape was like being violently pulled by something, sweeping out like a bundle of dry firewood, before he even hit the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he had already fainted.

  Everyone watched in shock and changed color. It's worth noting that Yu Feng's cultivation is not top-notch, but since childhood, he has received the true transmission of Eagle Yang Old Ancestor, and at least it is a micro-observation realm. Even if the tiger comes out with three or five moves, it will be absolutely impossible to take down. But unexpectedly, this fat Taoist lightly drew a dustpan and swept it horizontally, roughly and unskillfully, and directly knocked Yu Feng unconscious. This is what kind of strength!

  In the crowd of Hu Ge Village, someone suddenly shouted: "Ye Fashan, he is Ye Fashan from Zhongnan Wuzhen!"

  This sudden shout was like a thunderclap on a clear day, and everyone present couldn't help but change color.

  Cheng Xianhu's heart turned cold, but he had no choice at this moment as he was already in a difficult situation. He let out a sinister laugh and said: "What can Ye Fashan do? With hundreds of us charging forward together, we'll chop him into minced meat!"

  Unfortunately, such grand words have little effect under the halo of Zhongnan Wuyi.

  Many of the demonic cultivators who had come to assist in the fight whispered among themselves: "You're a broken pot that's been smashed and has nothing to lose, but if something happens to Ye Old Dao, will the Zhongnan Sword Sect be able to spare us?" As they hesitated, their morale greatly decreased.

  Just this delay allowed Xiao Si to force his way to within ten zhang of Jun Tian Tai.

  Cheng Xianhu was about to rush forward, grasping the evil tiger knife and preparing for a desperate battle. However, he heard Bu Suanzi say: "Cheng Zhai Zhu, you just focus on defending the Four Symbol Formation, leave this place to me!"

  As soon as the words fell, dozens of golden halberds under his feet burst out with a loud hum, shooting out like arrows off a string.

  Tang He's sleeves fluttered carelessly as he glanced over, having already judged the origin of these golden spears. He took off his numbered uniform and tied it into a bundle, which he then flung out with a "whoosh" sound, striking one of the golden spears with a loud crash.

  That golden spear shook violently and was knocked askew to the right by the cloth-wrapped fist, its tail striking another golden spear on the left.

  "Ding ding ding" sounds rang out one after another, as seven or eight golden spears collided and flew off at an angle.

  The remaining twenty or more golden spears advanced unimpeded, Tang He's sleeves did not retreat but instead moved forward, his body like a ghostly apparition floating and flying obliquely, like a wisp of smoke rolling into the midst of the golden spears. With one hand pressing down and the other slapping, he borrowed force to counterattack, sending each golden spear flying wildly in all directions, their formation collapsing in disarray.

  "The Heaven-Defying and Day-Replacing Great Technique of Tangmen in Shu!" Another demonic cultivator with discerning eyes exclaimed in shock from the crowd.

  This thieving heaven and earth divine art is neither a palm method nor a fist move, but a set of mysterious and unpredictable hidden weapon hand techniques, most skilled at using clever force to deflect and return all kinds of incoming hidden weapons.

  Tang He's mastery of this technique was naturally superb, as a brilliant disciple of the Tang School in Shu. To say nothing of twenty or thirty golden spears, even if there were twice or thrice as many, they would still be just a trivial dish to accompany his wine.

  Cheng Xian's face turned ashen, he really couldn't understand where the Tongmen's master and the Pure Yang Pavilion's Master Ye Fashan of Zhongnan Five Realms came from to deal with him on Mount Daba.

  At this time, Xīao Sì was already advancing under the escort of Yè Fǎ Shàn to within six zhang of Jūn Tiān Tái. Suddenly, a burst of light flashed before his eyes, and hundreds and thousands of golden spears shot out with a sharp whistling sound like a fierce wind and heavy rain!

  These golden spears no longer shot out in a straight line as before, but instead flew in swirling circles, suddenly rising and falling, and in the blink of an eye, they arranged themselves into a dense forest of spear-like formations!

  In the blink of an eye, Xīao Sì, Yè Fǎ Shàn and Táng Hè Cháng were engulfed by the swirling golden halberds and vanished from everyone's sight.

  The crowd at Hu's village couldn't help but cheer in unison, their joy written all over their faces.

  Only Bozai was secretly bitter and smiling, every time a golden spear flew out, it was equivalent to his control over the Hundred Tigers Thousand Spears Array weakening by one point, this move was no different from drinking poison to quench thirst.

  If he hadn't made a mistake, he wouldn't have thought that Xiao Si would be so bold as to disguise himself as a Hu Ge tribe's Lü Ruo and take advantage of the opportunity to mix into the formation when the troops were moving back to the camp, and he wouldn't have been forced to use his golden spear.

  As expected, the disturbance of Jun Tian Tai caused a ripple effect, weakening the various formations. The White Tiger Formation was the first to be breached by Geng Nan Yi, who led a charge into Hu Ge Village.

  Cheng Xianhu saw this and couldn't help but think of Xiao Si and others who were still trapped in the Thousand Spears Formation, so he hastily led his troops to welcome the battle.

  "Whoosh!" Dozens of white tiger flags fluttered in the wind, held high by a burly man who marched back and forth according to the formation.

  The white tiger on that flag seemed to come alive, spewing out clusters of smoke and fog, obscuring the sky and confusing people's eyes.

  In the midst of the fog, white tigers emerged one after another, their teeth and claws flashing in and out of sight. With over a hundred tiger guards led by Cheng Xianhu forming an array to launch a surprise attack, the heroic warriors of the righteous path were suddenly surrounded by danger on all sides.

  Geng Nan shouted loudly, unwilling to waste his true yuan, and took out the ancestral "Bagua Tongtian Pan".

  Only a bronze eight trigrams plate was seen rising and expanding outward, rotating non-stop above the heads of the heroes, emitting layer upon layer of eight trigrams patterns, like waves surging in all directions, where it went, the white mist dissipated, and the line of sight opened up.

  As soon as the two sides clashed, Jian Ge's leader Qiu Junyi led his elite disciples to kill from the Xuanwu formation, and Ling Yingge hastily adjusted his troops to respond.

  At that moment, the Hu Ge village was in an uproar, with everyone on high alert, and the righteous heroes poured out from all sides like a tidal wave, causing the defending army to be overwhelmed and exhausted.

  What's even more frightening is that many demonic experts who came to assist saw Ye Fashan and Tang Hechuang also join the Huitongbiao Bureau, and they all had the intention of retreating. Although they couldn't withdraw immediately due to their reputation, they each harbored private thoughts, shouting loudly but not putting in any effort.

  Bu Suanzi was well aware of the situation in the camp, but he remained indifferent and focused all his energy on urging the Thousand Halberd Great Array to surround and kill Xiao Si, Ye Fashan, and Tang He Shang.

  At this moment, three thousand and one golden halberds of the Jun Tian Tai have been used up more than half, and the remaining ones are still being added to the battle group one after another without stopping.

  Xiao Si didn't hesitate, picking up the golden spears that Ye Fashan and Tang Hechuang had dropped. Using materials from his surroundings, he set up a small gun array around himself. The three of them defended it firmly, fighting inch by inch.

  At this time, a faint fish belly white appeared on the eastern horizon, and in less than half an hour, the sky would be dawn.

  The outcome of both sides will be decided in this short period of time.

  The war is getting more and more intense, entering a white-hot stage of bayonet clashes.

  The people of Hu Ge Village fought to the death, but they were gradually at a disadvantage, and dozens of flags had been cut down.

  The White Tiger Formation was forced to continuously shrink inward, leaving behind corpse after corpse and bloodstains.

  "Everyone hold on, it'll be dawn soon!" Cheng Xianhu shouted loudly.

  But the troops' morale had already collapsed, especially those demonic cultivators from all over the world, who didn't have the heart to die for Hu's Tiger Village and retreated to the Gathering Hall under pressure.

  Cheng Xian's heart was filled with great hatred, but he had no choice and could only lead the Tiger Gorge Village warriors to fight to the death.

  Time trickled away bit by bit, making it seem especially bloody and long. The dawn glow on the horizon seemed to turn into a deep red like fresh blood, as if the sun was about to rise.

  On the outermost periphery, there were hundreds of righteous heroes who had fought bloody battles all night, sacrificing their lives to attack the enemy, while they faced the White Tiger Flag Army composed of Cheng Xianhu and his followers and some demonic dead parties.

  But within the White Tiger Flag Formation, there were still Xīao Sì, Yè Fǎ Shàn and Táng Hè Cháng's presence, which was tightly suppressed by Bó Suàn Zǐ's Thousand Halberd Great Formation and could not advance an inch.

  Further back was the assembly hall behind Jun Tian Tai, which was the last line of defense for Hu Ge Village. At this moment, it was under attack by groups of demonic cultivators who had retreated from the front lines.

  Dozens of Hu Ge's disciples, led by Wei Chen, the eldest disciple of Cheng Xianhu, guarded the hall door and desperately blocked the crowd who tried to rush into the hall to seek shelter from the Thousand Spears Great Array. The scene was chaotic.

  Yu Hongjiao stood at the entrance of the hall, gazing at the chaotic scene and her husband who was in a precarious situation not far away. She pressed the willow leaf knife several times, wanting to rush into the battlefield, but restrained herself.

  Ba Suanzi had repeatedly warned her that no matter what happened, even if the tiger died in front of her, she was absolutely not allowed to take half a step out of the hall, otherwise it would mean that Hu Ge Village would admit defeat. More importantly, in the hall, there was still the last trick of changing arrays in Yu Hongjiao's hands, which could repel the first wave of attack from any enemy who came to offend.

  Her feet were firmly nailed to the ground, watching those soft bones scurrying about like a dog that had lost its home, her heart growing increasingly irritable and anxious.

  Suddenly, a ray of sunlight passed through the sky that was about to dawn and shone on Yu Hongjiao's cheek.

  Cheng Xianhu's voice echoed, "Geng Nanxing, in less than half a moment it will be the hour of Mao, you won't be able to break into the Hall of Righteous Heroes. Why must you continue to struggle like a trapped beast? If you're a real man, then admit defeat quickly and avoid more casualties!"

  Geng Nan Yi's heart sank at the words, and he couldn't help but look towards the Qun Tian Tai front line, where a thousand halberds were arrayed. The golden light of the long halberds flashed in the air, making it impossible to see even a shadow of Xiao Si and his men.

  Fought a bloody battle all night, but saw the victory slip away, who else is a master strategist, able to reverse the defeat and create a miracle?
