Chapter 254 Why Did You Surrender?
Nanya Mine, deep in the pit.
In the deep darkness, a group of guards in black armor sat on the ground.
Although they all looked tired, their eyes were still full of determination, as if no matter what kind of difficulties they could not surrender.
They were the famous Black Armor Guards of the Lu family, a powerful force that had been guarding the Yushan Mine for many years.
But this time, they encountered an unprecedented challenge.
A group of extremely vicious Qiandong swordsmen led a terrifying beast and forced them here. Not only were the Qiandong swordsmen powerful and fierce, but the beast was also extremely terrifying, completely beyond the limit of human resistance, and should not appear in this world at all.
The Black Armor Guards had never encountered such an opponent before, and any of their means of attack could not cause substantial damage to the beast. If it were not for the complex terrain and blockade here, they would have been wiped out long ago.
"Master Dou, eat something..."
A black-armored guard came to a middle-aged man who was meditating and practicing Qigong to recover from his injuries with a bowl of black paste.
The middle-aged man practicing Qigong was Dou Changhe. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and took a look at the black paste in the bowl. He knew that although the food in the bowl did not look good, it was the last of the food.
"How much food is left? Does everyone have food?"
The black-armored guard hesitated for a moment and answered vaguely: "Not much..."
Dou Changhe immediately understood that the conditions in the mine were limited, and they had been trapped in a hard battle for days. They had no time to carry food. I am afraid that the bowl of food served to him was the last food for the entire group battle.
Dou Changhe immediately closed his eyes again and continued to practice Qigong.
"You guys eat. I have a deep cultivation base, so it's okay for me to hold on for ten or eight days. But you need to eat enough to have the strength to continue!"
"But..."
The black-armored guard took a look at Dou Changhe's bloody abdomen. It was a wound caused by the claws of the evil beast of the Blood Knife Sect during a fight. At that time, blood was dripping and even the intestines were flowing out. All the black-armored guards thought he was going to die. Unexpectedly, he gritted his teeth and persisted, and even stubbornly stuffed his intestines back into his stomach...
"Your injuries are so serious. If there is no food supplement, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover." The black-armored guard continued.
Dou Changhe smiled: "It's okay. You may not believe it, but with such a serious injury, anyone else would have died long ago, but it's different for me..."
"Because Master Yu treated my injuries before, a trace of his true energy remained in my body. It is this trace of his true energy that has kept me alive until now, so don't worry, I will be fine!"
The black-armored guard was shocked. Just a trace of residual true energy has such a powerful power. If Master Yu really uses all his strength, what a shocking power it would be!
However, his expression soon darkened again, and he whispered, "Master Dou, are the people from the Blood Blade Sect and the Bu Family telling the truth? Did Master Yu really get into trouble in the Dali Sword Sect?"
A sharp look flashed across Dou Changhe's eyes, and he replied, "The Xiang Family and the Third Prince have been patient for so long, but they have never dared to touch us. There must be a reason for their sudden attack this time... Master Yu may have encountered some troubles, but I have confidence in Master Yu. He will definitely be able to turn danger into safety. As long as we hold on for a few more days, Master Yu will soon be free to destroy the conspiracy of the Xiang Family and the Third Prince in one fell swoop!"
Encouraged by Dou Changhe, the black-armored guard's eyes became firm again, and he nodded vigorously.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
At this time, there was a burst of urgent shouting from the front.
The two were startled at the same time, and they didn't care who should eat the bowl of black food, and immediately put down the bowl and ran forward.
"Li Tongen, what's going on?"
Dou Changhe asked his adjutant who was in charge of the alert.
Li Tongen's face was full of solemnity: "The five mechanisms at the gate ahead have all been destroyed, and the people from the Blood Knife Hall have entered this mine tunnel."
Everyone's face changed immediately after hearing this.
The five mechanisms at the gate of the mine tunnel are their last resort. In recent days, the people from the Blood Knife Sect have tried all kinds of methods, but they have never been able to break in. How come five defense mechanisms have been lost at the same time?
The loss of five mechanisms at the same time means that they have no way out. The place where they are standing at this time is their desperate place.
"Line up! Prepare for battle!"
Dou Changhe gave the order in a deep voice without hesitation.
At this moment, it is meaningless to worry about how the people from the Blood Knife Sect broke through the five mechanisms. Now they can only pass this level first and then consider other problems.
The Black Armor Guards acted quickly and soon formed a formation and were ready to go, but the battle did not start for a long time.
According to the experience of the battles in the past few days, the attack of the Blood Blade Sect must be led by the terrifying beast, but today the beast has not appeared yet. Not only did we not see its signature poisonous fog, but we didn't even hear the roar of the beast.
All this seems very abnormal.
All the black armor guards couldn't figure out where the problem was.
Could this be the enemy's strategy to deliberately paralyze their own side?
Soon, another tip-off came from the front...
"The disciples of the Blood Blade Sect are not carrying weapons, their hands are raised above their heads, and even the team is holding white flags... It seems that they are surrendering to us..."
Li Tongen recounted the latest situation that the spy had just discovered, but what he said made him feel unbelievable.
After hearing this retelling, everyone was stunned and couldn't believe it was true.
Obviously, the Blood Blade Sect had already occupied an absolute advantage, and had also broken through the last five traps. As long as they continued to advance steadily, it would be easy to take them down with the cooperation of the evil beasts. Why did they suddenly raise the white flag at this last moment?
"Is it... a trick?" Another adjutant approached Dou Changhe and said worriedly.
Dou Changhe shook his head.
The five traps had been broken through, and they no longer had any support. With the Blood Blade Sect occupying an absolute advantage, there was really no need to cheat them at this time.
"Let's see what happens first!" Dou Changhe said.
Soon, the disciples of the Blood Blade Sect had arrived in front of everyone. As expected, as the spies reported, they were in a completely surrendered posture.
Even their sect leader, the Blood Blade Old Demon, was no exception. He held up a white flag and knelt down in front of the Black Armor Guards.
"I, Yan Dadao, have led 807 people to surrender to the Ding'an Lu family. I beg the Lu family's steward, Lord Dou Changhe, to accept us!"
Everyone was stunned.
Even if it was acting, there was no need to act to this extent, right?
The Blood Knife Demon was the master of the sect, the overlord of the whole Qiandong area, but he was willing to kneel in front of Dou Changhe, who was far less powerful than him?
Even Dou Changhe himself was stunned, and he couldn't figure out why the Blood Knife Demon did this...
"Uncle Dou, what are you still standing there for?"
At this time, a scarred man walked out of the Blood Knife disciples' formation and looked at Dou Changhe with a smile on his face.
"My cousin Lu Yu ordered me to come and solve the troubles that the Lu family encountered this time. Under my persuasion, all the disciples of the Blood Blade Sect have decided to change their sects and surrender to the Lu family. Uncle Dou, as the steward of the Lu family, why don't you quickly recruit them!"
Everyone suddenly realized.
It turned out that it was the people sent by Master Yu!
No wonder the Blood Blade Sect surrendered without any signs!
Suddenly, a group of black armor guards cheered, and some even cried with joy.
It was worth their unwavering persistence until now. Master Yu did not disappoint them. He just sent someone over and easily solved this huge crisis.
Dou Changhe felt as if he had just dreamed.
He stared blankly at the scarred man in front of him. Since the other party called Master Yu his cousin, he should be Master Yu's cousin. However, Dou Changhe racked his brains for a long time, but he still couldn't remember when there was such a relative in the Lu family?
"So, Uncle Dou is injured..."
At this time, the scarred man noticed the injury on Dou Changhe's abdomen and frowned slightly.
He just lifted his foot slightly, and his figure moved forward several feet, blinking and approaching Dou Changhe quickly.
The guards guarding Dou Changhe were startled and wanted to intercept him, but they only felt a breeze blowing on their faces. How could they stop him?
Dou Changhe did not make any move. With his eyesight, he could tell that if the scarred man had ill intentions towards him, any resistance from him would be useless.
"It seems that this injury is not light..."
The scarred man stood in front of Dou Changhe and muttered.
He suddenly raised his hand and pressed a palm on the wound on Dou Changhe's abdomen.
Suddenly, a warm current surged from the wound on his abdomen, causing Dou Changhe to tremble all over. Not only because this warm current made him feel comfortable, but also because this warm current made him feel extremely familiar, just like the feeling when Master Yu treated his hidden illness.
The only difference is that the force driving this warm current is countless times stronger than before.
Dou Changhe widened his eyes and looked at the other party in disbelief: "You..."
He only had time to say one word, and the other party suddenly exerted force on his hand, and suddenly a stronger force came, dredging the accumulated injuries in his body, and the feeling of exhilaration forced the words in his throat down.
Then, a voice like the sound of nature rang directly in his mind.
"Uncle Dou, don't say anything. I am Lu Yu. Due to some special reasons, my current identity cannot be made public. Just pretend that you didn't recognize me and treat me as a distant cousin of the Lu family..."
"Focus on the spirit platform and calm your mind! Let me heal your injuries, and then we will go back together to deal with the Xiang family and the third prince!"
