Chapter 355 Fierce Battle in the Forest, Life and Death on the Line
Seeing this, Cha Lingxing roared with fury, her eyes wide with rage, "You're courting death!"
She flew to Hua Lingxing's side, her long sword swirling up a cloud of tea mist—the killing move of the Spirit Illusion Sword Technique.
The expert at the Great Yuan Realm had just drawn his sword.
Just as he was about to retaliate, his vision suddenly blurred.
Then he was struck in the chest by Cha Lingxing's sword.
Just then, the sound of arrows whistling through the air came from behind!
Before Cha Lingxing could react, dozens of arrows shot from the depths of the dense forest, heading straight for her back.
She tried to hide, but it was too late.
The arrows were so fast that she could only watch as they pierced through her clothes and embedded themselves deep in her back.
"Tea Spirit Star!"
Shu Lingxing watched helplessly as Cha Lingxing staggered and fell, her back riddled with arrows, her blood staining the grass beneath her.
The shouts of the Book Spirit Star also awakened the Empress.
In a short time, the two spirit stars perished.
The empress felt a sharp pain in her chest and could barely breathe.
She looked at the lifeless Hua Lingxing and Cha Lingxing on the ground, and then at the enemies closing in on her from all sides.
For the first time, a frenzied killing intent ignited in his eyes.
On the other side, the five spirit stars of Qin (music), Qi (chess), Shu (calligraphy), Shi (poetry), and Jiu (wine) are engaged in a fierce battle with Chao Keda and others.
Upon witnessing the tragic state of the two spirit stars, Hua and Cha.
The five of them immediately unleashed their unique skills, repelling the enemies who were surrounding them.
The attacks unleashed by the five people were accompanied by a series of explosions.
Then the five of them came to Hua Lingxing and Cha Lingxing.
Seeing them retreat, the Empress sternly ordered them, "You few, take your brother and those two and retreat first!"
"Spirit King, we'll stay and keep you company!" Qin Lingxing said urgently.
"go!"
The Empress roared, and the Lingxiao Sword grew several feet larger, forcing Gao Kezi back.
"That's an order!"
The five spirit stars exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with pain, but they still gritted their teeth and accepted the order.
Chess Spirit Star and Poetry Spirit Star helped Liu Lingzhen up, while Qin Spirit Star and Book Spirit Star picked up the bodies of Painting Spirit Star and Tea Spirit Star and ran into the depths of the dense forest.
"Trying to leave? Fire!" Chao Keda roared, giving the order.
A third wave of arrows came again, like dark clouds obscuring the sky as they shot towards the five of them.
Upon seeing this, the Empress's vital energy surged instantly.
She leaped into the air, her Lingxiao sword plunging fiercely into the ground!
The crimson sword energy exploded instantly from the sword's center, forming a massive shockwave that swept outwards.
This sword strike was several times more powerful than the one he used to fight against the Qin's top assassin in Nanyang City.
The rain of arrows in mid-air was shaken down by the violent shockwave and broke in two.
Those warriors from the Gu Xuan Dynasty with lower cultivation levels were also blown away by this shockwave.
Some people fell to the ground along with their horses, while others were thrown into the air and crashed into trees, looking utterly disheveled.
The Empress stood in the center of the shockwave, her white royal robes fluttering in the wind.
In the instant the Empress paused, her fingertips suddenly gripped the hilt of the Lingxiao Sword.
Just as Gu Xuanchao's warriors charged forward.
The Lingxiao Sword in her hand sliced through the dust on the ground, leaving a purplish-red arc.
It sliced through the throats of the two warriors charging at the forefront.
With two muffled thuds, the two men fell to the ground.
Before Gao Kezi and the others could react, the Empress had already turned around, carrying the Lingxiao Sword, and flew off in the direction where Qin Lingxing and the others had retreated.
She was giving it her all and running faster than ever before.
Just now, many of Gu Xuanchao's iron cavalry were chasing Qin Lingxing and the others.
Therefore, she dared not delay in the slightest, fearing that they would suffer the same fate as Hua Lingxing and the other two.
Deep in the dense forest, Qin Lingxing and her five companions were carrying the corpses of Liu Lingzhen, Hua, and Cha, the two spirit stars, as they struggled through the undergrowth.
The sound of horses' hooves behind me was as urgent as the beating of drums.
Thousands of warriors from the Gu Xuan Dynasty rode on horseback, wielding curved swords and spears, relentlessly pursuing the enemy through the forest.
"There's a cliff right ahead!" Qi Lingxing shouted, pointing to the steep slope in front of him.
The trees there were sparse, with only a few clumps of low shrubs.
Once they reached open ground, the cavalry could unleash their full speed, leaving them with no chance of escape.
Shi Lingxing gritted her teeth and lifted Liu Lingzhen's body up a little higher.
"Go into the valley on the left! The trees there are too dense for the cavalry to get in!"
The five immediately turned and disappeared into a denser forest.
But the sound of horses' hooves continued to follow closely behind.
The warriors of Gu Xuanchao seem to be very familiar with the terrain of this place.
They split up and took a detour, trying to cut off their path.
Arrows kept flying through the woods, grazing their hair and buzzing as they stuck into the tree trunks.
"This can't go on!"
Qin Lingxing deflected a stray arrow with her sword, her voice grim: "There are too many of them, our internal energy can hardly keep up!"
Before he could finish speaking, a sudden burst of rapid hoofbeats came from ahead.
It turned out that the same group of warriors from Gu Xuanchao had circled around to the front.
The lead knight brandished his scimitar and charged forward with a sinister grin: "Capture them! Lord Barrichov will reward you!"
The five were forced to retreat to their original positions, and the pursuers behind them caught up, forming a pincer movement.
Qi Lingxing shielded Liu Lingzhen in the middle, forming a circle with the other four people back to back.
He pointed his weapon at the surrounding cavalry, ready to unleash his attacks.
"kill!"
Gu Xuan shouted in unison to the warriors and spurred their horses into a charge.
The flashing of swords and spears in the forest seemed about to engulf the five men.
At this critical moment.
A streak of crimson sword light flashed past like a celestial being descending from the heavens, instantly piercing through the chests of three knights!
Qin Lingxing cried out in alarm, "Spirit King!"
The Empress, carrying the Lingxiao Sword, charged out of the dense forest.
She was surrounded by a faint purplish-red sword aura, and each swing of her sword brought forth a shower of blood.
The warriors of Gu Xuanchao were basically swept off their horses by the Empress's sword energy before they could even react, and screams of agony rose and fell.
At this moment, the Lingxiao Sword in her hand transformed into a purple halo.
Blue and white primordial energy intertwined with purple and red sword energy, forming a huge vortex that swept outwards.
Dozens of knights at the forefront were swept away by the cyclone along with their horses, crashing into trees and breaking their bones.
The encirclement was instantly torn open, creating a gap.
The empress, panting heavily, turned around and shouted, "Let's go!"
Qin Lingxing and the other four quickly followed, using the vortex as cover to escape deeper into the forest.
The Empress stayed behind the group to cover their retreat, continuously unleashing sword energy from the Lingxiao Sword to force back the pursuers.
But her breathing became more and more rapid.
Those two attacks had almost exhausted her already meager energy.
Gu Xuanchao's warriors quickly regrouped and caught up again.
This time they learned their lesson and no longer charged in recklessly as before.
Instead, they used arrows from a distance to exhaust the Empress and her entourage by using their numerical advantage.
"Spirit King, there are too many of them!"
Shu Lingxing stood in front of the Empress and swung his sword to knock down several arrows.
"We're surrounded!"
The empress looked around and realized that they were surrounded by dense forest, which made them easy targets for archers.
