Chapter 235: Jiameng Pass
At the same time, outside the gate of Jiameng Pass, dust was flying and war drums were thundering.
Qingmu, a disciple of Jade Ding Zhenren, was wearing silver armor and looked heroic. He led a mighty army of 100,000, which gathered here like a tide. The army was well-disciplined and had a magnificent momentum.
In the sunlight, every battle flag fluttered, as if even the wind was trembling with it.
Seeing this scene, the four generals of the Mo family on the city wall stood side by side, their eyes sharp as torches, overlooking the scene below the city, looking at each other, without a trace of panic.
Mo Liqing stroked his long beard lightly, with a playful smile on his face:
"Hey, I didn't expect that old guy Ji Chang would also send people to attack Jiameng Pass."
"He is so impatient that he wants to take over Sishui Pass, Jiameng Pass, and Qinglong Pass at once."
"Humph, wishful thinking. Bringing so many people here will only lead to their deaths."
Mo Lihong held a Hunyuan Umbrella in his hand and sneered disdainfully:
"A mere 100,000 rabble dare to challenge Jiameng Pass? You are like an ant trying to shake a tree. You are overestimating your own capabilities!"
Mo Lihai seemed more calm. He held a jade pipa in his arms, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a glimmer of wisdom flashed in his eyes:
"Don't be in a hurry. Let's see what means they have. They dare to attack Jiameng Pass with such a small number of mortal soldiers."
Mo Lishou was the most lively. He patted the exotic beast, the flower marten, beside him and said with a smile:
"Haha, this scene is getting more and more exciting! Flowery Marten, don't you agree? I'll let you taste the taste of blood later!"
As the four generals of the Demon Family talked, the atmosphere on the city wall became increasingly tense and full of banter.
Aoki was standing at the foot of the city with a sharp gaze. He seemed to be able to feel the disdain and contempt of the four defenders on the city wall, but the pressure did not make him retreat in the slightest.
At this moment, a steady sound of footsteps broke the silence beside Qingmu, and a deputy general walked out of the team. He was wearing armor, holding a spear, and there was a heroic spirit between his brows.
The deputy general walked up to Qingmu, bowed and saluted, his voice loud and powerful:
"General, I will challenge you to fight at the foot of Jiameng Pass!"
Hearing this, Qingmu turned around and looked at the deputy general who was asking for a fight. A smile appeared on his lips and he said loudly:
"What's your name?"
The deputy general was startled, bowed again, and said:
"I am Ji Xinyan, a member of the Ji clan, and a subordinate of General Nangong."
Upon hearing this, Qingmu's eyes turned slightly and fell on Ji Xinyan's resolute face, secretly applauding in his heart.
"Ji Xinyan, what a great name, what courage!"
Aoki spoke loudly, his voice echoing in the empty battlefield, attracting the attention of the surrounding soldiers.
"Do you know that it is extremely dangerous to challenge the enemy at the foot of the city? Do you see those four ferocious-looking people on the city wall? They are not ordinary people."
Although Aoki's tone was light, it revealed a seriousness that could not be ignored.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xinyan did not move, but gripped the spear in his hand a little tighter, his eyes becoming more determined.
"I understand, but as a soldier, it is our destiny to charge into battle and die on the battlefield."
"If I can inspire the morale of the entire army with my bravery, I will have no regrets even if I die!"
Hearing this, Aoki nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, Ji Xinyan, since you have such courage, I will allow you to go out and fight!"
Aoki's voice was steady and powerful, penetrating the noise of the battlefield and reaching the ears of every soldier clearly.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xinyan straightened his back, bowed again, and spoke in a firm and powerful voice:
"I will obey your orders and live up to your high expectations!"
After saying that, he leaped up, mounted his warhorse, held a spear in his hand, and ran towards the city of Jiameng Pass.
After a while, Ji Xinyan came to the foot of the city alone. He looked up, his eyes as sharp as torches, piercing the sky, and faced the four generals of the Mo family who were standing high above the city wall.
He gently waved the spear in his hand, the tip of the spear flashing with cold light, pointed directly at the tower, and shouted loudly:
"Listen, General Jiameng Pass. I am Ji Xinyan, the deputy general of the Xiqi army. I have come here to challenge you to a fight!"
"If you have the guts, come out of the city and fight us!"
Upon hearing this, the four generals of the Mo family on the city wall had different expressions on their faces, but there was mockery and disdain in their eyes.
"Humph, a mere deputy general dares to be so arrogant!"
Mo Liqing snorted coldly, a playful smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Mo Lihong, Mo Lihai and Mo Lishou beside him also echoed him, with fighting spirit and disdain flashing in their eyes.
As the four generals of the Demon Family, when have they ever taken a mere deputy general seriously?
At this moment, Ji Xinyan was nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot in their eyes, overestimating his own capabilities.
However, at this critical moment, a deputy general behind the four generals of the Mo family stepped forward, bowed to the four generals of the Mo family, and said in a loud and powerful voice:
"General Hu Lei requests to fight and is willing to go out of the city to fight!"
The four generals of the Mo family were slightly stunned when they heard this.
They didn't expect that at this critical moment, someone would volunteer to fight.
They looked at Hu Lei, with a hint of approval and relief in their eyes.
"Well, General Hu is worthy of being one of the four generals of my Mo family. Since you have such courage, I will allow you to go out of the city to fight!" Mo Liqing looked at Hu Lei and said with satisfaction.
Following Mo Liqing's order, Hu Lei turned around and tried to leave, but then stopped and looked back at the four generals of the Mo family, his eyes flashing with determination and resolve:
"Please rest assured, General. I will live up to your expectations and let Ji Xinyan know that Jiameng Pass should not be underestimated!"
After saying that, Hu Lei strode towards the city gate, with the four generals of the Mo family and the soldiers' expectations and attention following behind him.
Hu Lei at this time was different from his previous life. In his previous life, he became a disciple of the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, practicing the Daoism of Jiejiao, and his cultivation level was acceptable.
However, Hu Lei in this world was just a leader among mortal generals, and had not learned any Taoism.
Under the city, Ji Xinyan still stood tall, his eyes sharp, waiting for his opponent.
When he saw Hu Lei slowly walking out of the city gate on his warhorse, a hint of surprise and expectation flashed in his eyes.
"Who is coming? Tell me your name!"
Hearing this, Hu Lei's lips curled up in a cold arc, and his eyes flashed with a fighting spirit that should not be underestimated.
He slowly raised the sword in his hand. The sword was glowing with a faint cold light, and it looked even sharper in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Hu Lei responded in a deep voice: "Deputy General of Jiameng Pass - Hu Lei! Today, let me meet you, the rebel general of Xiqi!"
After saying that, Hu Lei held a sharp sword that was shining with cold light and slashed towards Ji Xinyan.
Seeing this, Ji Xinyan hurriedly swung the spear in his hand. The tip of the spear drew a graceful arc in the air and accurately met the edge of Hu Lei's sword.
"Qiang——!!!"
A crisp sound of metal clashing instantly resounded through the sky, shocking the surrounding soldiers so much that they covered their ears involuntarily.
Sparks flew where the spear and sword intersected, as if countless stars were falling at that moment.
Hu Lei and Ji Xinyan were each knocked off their horses. They took a step back, steadied themselves, and confronted each other again.
Hu Lei gripped the sword tightly, turned his wrist slightly, and the tip of the sword flashed a cold light in the sunlight.
He took a deep breath and tensed all his muscles, as if ready to launch the most violent attack at any time.
Ji Xinyan held the spear tightly with the tip lowered, seemingly calm but actually harboring murderous intent.
His eyes were fixed on Hu Lei's every subtle movement, looking for his opponent's flaws.
Suddenly, Hu Lei moved and pounced on Ji Xinyan as fast as a cheetah hunting its prey.
His swordsmanship is sometimes as sharp as lightning, and sometimes unpredictable, making people dazzled.
Ji Xinyan used his spear for defense and offense for defense, skillfully resolving Hu Lei's offensive and looking for opportunities to counterattack.
The battle between the two became more and more intense, and the sound of weapons clashing was endless.
As the battle progressed, the confrontation between Hu Lei and Ji Xinyan became more brutal.
Although Hu Lei's swordsmanship was sharp, he gradually showed signs of fatigue in front of Ji Xinyan's spear skills that were as continuous and impeccable as flowing water.
Each of Ji Xinyan's attacks was just right, avoiding Hu Lei's edge while constantly draining away Hu Lei's physical strength and will.
Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Hu Lei's forehead, his breathing began to become rapid, and the light in his eyes dimmed slightly.
But he did not give up. He gritted his teeth and insisted on dealing with Ji Xinyan.
He knew that if he revealed his flaws, he would be doomed.
However, in a fierce confrontation, Hu Lei was ultimately unable to withstand Ji Xinyan's full-strength attack.
Ji Xinyan's spear was like a dragon soaring into the sky, with a whistling sound, it suddenly pierced through Hu Lei's defense and went straight to his chest.
"Pfft!"
With a dull thud, the spear pierced through Hu Lei's armor, and blood instantly dyed his clothes red.
Hu Lei's body trembled slightly, a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly fell down, without any life.
