Jingliu has always felt that his master's fighting ability is a mystery.
Every time she felt that she could get closer to him, her master would always "ruthlessly" shatter her fantasies.
Practicing swordsmanship with my master always feels like climbing a never-ending mountain. Every time I think I can see the top of the mountain after climbing over it, I find that behind the mountain is a higher and steeper mountain.
The master turned around and fought across three thousand miles, and his sword was as powerful as a million soldiers. Especially the last time on the Star Raft, when he cut down the Wing Makers' mountain-like warship with one sword, the scene deeply shocked Jingliu's heart.
The shock brought by that sword continues to ripple in Jingliu's heart until today.
It is said that every general of the Immortal Boat is blessed by the Emperor Bow God, and is extremely powerful, on par with ordinary mortals.
One arrow from Emperor Bow Siming can burn the sky and destroy the earth, collapse rocks and shatter stars, but what about the master?
No matter how powerful he is, it's impossible for him to be able to cut down the stars in the sky, right?
"Om-"
As he was thinking, a roar like a horn came from the distant sky and resounded through the sky.
Even the stars in the universe seemed to be trembling.
"It's Wen Tianjiao..."
Jing Liu stood up suddenly, and the tension on his face turned into a strong fighting spirit.
"The enemy is coming!"
"Jingliu, be patient."
The general in military uniform remained calm as he sat upright in the general's chair. The jade omen in front of him was emitting fluorescent light, projecting the world outside Cangcheng onto it.
"The Taotie tribe led 500,000 cloud cavalry and worked with the Liuyun and Tianxing tribes to form the first line of defense.
The Pixiu tribe led 500,000 cloud cavalry and cooperated with the mechanical divisions of the Jingong Hall and the Shenhuo Camp to form the second line of defense.
The rest of you stay put and be on standby at any time!"
"Yes! General!"
At the command, several military generals stood up and headed to the battlefield.
Jing Liu sat in his original position a little anxiously. Although his eyes were on the battle sand table, they were always wandering restlessly and he didn't pay any attention to it at all.
The general seemed to notice that Jing Liu was absent-minded and had no intention of forcing her to stay here, so he said:
"Jingliu, go outside and check the actual situation. Report any changes to me. Don't attack blindly!
If anything goes wrong in the battle because of you, the Cloud Cavalry will hold you accountable!"
"Yes, General!"
Jing Liu's eyes lit up, and he excitedly saluted the general with his fists, then ran out of the Shen Ce Palace.
Unlike the past, standing on the spacious land, what Jing Liu saw was no longer the vast and lonely universe of yesterday, but one Cangcheng fleet after another composed of countless fighting ships and giant warships. The countless warships and fighting ships were like densely packed white dots scattered on the canvas.
This is the Cloud Cavalry of Cangcheng, the iron wall that has defended the lives of the people of Cangcheng countless times during the thousands of years of space roaming.
As long as they exist, the people of Cangcheng can rest assured.
After marveling at the strength and magnificence of the Cangcheng Yunqi, the mirror turned its gaze to the more distant world.
The Milky Way above my head is no longer as quiet and magnificent as it was when I gazed at it in the past. It is now strange and majestic.
Because "she" is obscured.
What obscured "her" were densely packed black spots like a swarm of bees, which were in stark contrast to Cangcheng's cloud riders.
The vacuum of the universe is filled with an eerie silence, with only the whispers of gravitational waves audible.
But Jingliu was very sure that at this moment she heard the voice from the universe.
It was a strange cry that echoed throughout the universe without any warning, like the first cry of some wild animal when it was born from its mother's womb.
The beast's throat and tongue vibrated rapidly, and the saliva secreted produced a huge buzzing sound like an earthquake when it came into contact with the air. The rapid buzzing sound filled the sky, as if countless insects were flapping their wings.
Those black dots, they're getting closer.
Jing Liu unconsciously placed her hand on the hilt of the sword. She tried to climb to a higher place to get a clearer view, even though the dark currents in the depths of the universe were already visible to the naked eye.
Her nimble body leaped back and forth on the buildings on both sides of the street, and finally landed in front of an astronomical telescope.
This telescope was a tool made by the Industrial Manufacturing Bureau for observing celestial activities. If the Yunqi Army wanted to observe the battle situation, they naturally had better things. However, at this moment, Jingliu only needed to see clearly what those black things were.
She pointed the telescope at the Kuroshio, moved it close to the lens barrel, and twisted the focus button, continuously zooming the lens in.
The next second, she finally saw the true appearance of the black tide.
The moment he saw their appearance clearly again, Jingliu's heart felt as if it was being pinched, and even beating became extremely difficult.
Those are...battleships?
No, it's a beast!
She saw one giant beast after another, as big as hills, roaming in the sea of stars with groups like swimming fish.
Those beasts were very similar to the whales Jingliu had seen in the children's books that Jinyun brought her.
They are covered with heavy armor, have a pair of huge bat-like wings made of flesh and blood, and the ferocious white fangs under their heads serve as their most powerful ramming horns.
They do not need to breathe, but their bodies are covered with dense exhaust vents that are responsible for expelling the high heat generated when the body moves.
"I remember that there was a race of the Fertility People whose biological transformation technology was very advanced. Their armor and weapons all had obvious characteristics of living organisms..."
"That race is called Buli."
"Those warships that look like beasts are their 'weapon beasts'!"
The appearance of the weapon beast caused Jingliu to feel a little fear in his heart.
But the next second, this fear was annihilated by the high will to fight:
"Keep this oath, we, the cloud riders, are like clouds blocking the sky, guarding the immortal boat!"
"Master, I will prove to you that I have the ability to protect the Immortal Boat."
"Jingliu swears by this sword!"
The sword is three feet and seven inches long, with a sharp edge and a blade as rippling as spring water.
Chapter 53 Death Fight
The sword is three feet and seven inches long and weighs more than seven pounds.
[Girl, this sword is called Bi Yue, and it is much more useful than the Chun Shui Sword I gave you]
[Come, hold it in your hand, and stab the enemy with the pointed end.]
As memories flashed through his mind, Jingliu thrust out his sword. The extremely sharp blade pierced into the chest of a half-human, half-fox dog-man, crushing the roaring living armor on its heart into powder.
The extremely enchanting blood was all over her cheeks, dyeing her dress, which was as bright as the white moon, red.
Bu Liren glared at her unwillingly, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
Jing Liu saw it all without any mercy. He twisted the sword in his hand, and a sharp and narrow sword light poured out, completely crushing Bu Liren's chest.
After the half-body of Bu Liren fell to the ground, Jing Liu raised his head and looked around, which was full of smoke and flames of war.
In the dark night, the sky seemed to be dyed into dusk by flames. The star ships and fighting ships that crossed the sky made continuous explosions. The brilliant flames connected the sky and the earth, like a red glow hanging in the sky.
The Bu Li people's attack was far more ferocious than Cang Cheng had expected. Those lunatics didn't care about their own lives at all. They directly drove the weapon beasts and used their bodies as a medium to launch a death charge on Cang Cheng's front-line defense troops.
As one weapon beast after another exploded, the first line of defense built by millions of cloud riders collapsed in less than an hour.
The lives of hundreds of thousands of Cloud Riders were gone in the blink of an eye, like mowing grass.
The Bu Li people's overwhelming attack left the Yunqi Army almost unable to fight back, which was a big blow to Jingliu.
After the first line of defense was breached, the general handed over his personal guards to himself.
Among them are old and young, male and female, the only thing in common is that they are all elite Cloud Cavalry who can stand against thousands of troops alone and are qualified to compete for the position of Warrior Guard.
He needs to lead them to become a cavalry that pierces through the haze and tears a hole in the enemy's flank.
Although the army of weapon beasts under Bu Liren's command are not afraid of life and death, they have a hive consciousness.
All their action commands came from the three mistresses among the Buli people. Killing any one of them would disrupt their formation and buy a chance for the Yunqi Army to counterattack.
"The Buli people around have been cleared out. Sir Xiaowei, what should we do next?"
A heroic man named Duan Shui, wearing black armor, stood beside Jingliu. He was six hundred years older than Jingliu, but he did not show any contempt for this junior.
Jing Liu looked up at the eastern sky. A large number of Bu Liren's flying beasts and the Yunqi Army's warships were mixed together. The overwhelming flames were endless, and even the skyline seemed to be on fire.
"The enemy's eastern defense is the weakest. We can use the main ship as cover to penetrate the Buli people's formation and find one of the mistresses on their side."
She shook off the blood stains on the blade, her face stern:
"As long as we can kill even one of them, we can give the Cloud Cavalry a chance to counterattack."
"Hmph, reckless!"
A disdainful snort came from the side. The red-haired woman who made the sound stared at Jing Liu with eyes as fiery as fire:
"This is too dangerous. Do you intend to forcibly break through the enemy's entire army's flank defenses with just a few of us?"
"We can't rely on just us. I told you, we need the cover of the main ship."
"The main ship and the battleships and frigates are already exhausted. They are preparing to take turns to defend. Moreover, the enemy's weapon beast army has already landed on the east side. Just breaking through them is a problem!"
"..."
Jingliu pursed her lips. She knew that she was still lacking in military strategy, so it was reasonable that she would be opposed.
But what she needs now is not opposition, but countermeasures.
"Then do you have a better decision, Zhu Yan?"
"Of course, go around."
The red-haired woman called Zhu Yan waved her hand, and a jade sign with a battlefield map fell to the ground, projecting the map:
"We need to seize a Buliren flying ship, use it to avoid the Buliren army's sight, and launch a surprise attack from the side and rear of the battlefield."
"Ridiculous," Duan Shui frowned and objected, "The enemy's rear is far away from our army. Going deep into the battlefield is tantamount to suicide no matter how successful it is. Moreover, most of Bu Liren's flying ships are weapon beasts. How are you going to control them?"
"For this, we can just coerce the guys who are driving it."
"The Buli people are bloodthirsty and warlike, and have no fear of death. Your threats will not work on them."
"Then let's vote. There are exactly five of us. The minority should obey the majority. Those who support that yellow-haired girl should raise their hands."
Zhu Yan has a fiery temper and doesn't want to waste time on such things.
As soon as he finished speaking, three people raised their hands.
The only one who didn't raise his hand, besides her, was Jing Liu.
She couldn't help but frown and ask, "You little girl, what do you mean by that expression? The Cloud Riders should show their courage!"
An obscure hesitation flashed across Jing Liu's eyes: "Sorry, I just, I was just thinking that my method may not be the best..."
"The battlefield situation changes rapidly. There is no best plan. You can only seize the present moment."
"Then let's move. The Cloud Cavalry on the east side has been reinforced by 200,000 soldiers from the Taowu and Yanming tribes. The soldiers are risking their lives to defend the front line. They don't give us time to hesitate."
From now on, regardless of whether Jingliu's decision is the optimal solution, this elite team led by her must act immediately.
Just as Zhu Yan said, the enemy's army had already landed on the east side, and hundreds of thousands of Buli people's troops jumped off the dense fleet like a tide of insects.
No matter how fierce the artillery fire from the Ministry of Industry and Construction was, it could not stop their advance. The Cloud Cavalry soldiers roared like thunder, with swords and knives like a forest, and used their bodies to block the front line.
Jing Liu brandished the Bi Yue sword in his hand that was as bright as moonlight. After exchanging several moves with a Bu Li human-weapon beast that was entangled with him, he took advantage of the opponent's unstable center of balance and thrust the sword straight into the opponent's chest!
The sword blade turned, and the violent and surging sword intent burst out, tearing and exploding inside the opponent's body, blasting a huge bloody hole in the opponent's chest!
At the same time, she did not forget to control the twelve flying swords that assisted in the formation. With the power of wheel blades, she stormed through the battlefield, crushing the Buliren infantrymen along with their living armor.
The Bu Li people standing in front were more difficult to deal with than dog-skin plasters. The most important thing was that there were so many of them, like endless mosquitoes and flies. When you killed one batch, more would pop up, endlessly.
Despite this, with their charge, the Yunqi Army still managed to get behind the Buliren infantry and approach the fleet.
After the team led by Jing Liu repelled a wave of Bu Liren's attacks, while taking a breather, a young man among the five people brought Jing Liu a protective flying sword:
