Chapter 2210: The Imperial Guards Become Stronger
Qiongqi had already wanted to kill Mo Sang the moment he suspected him.
His character was very decisive and ruthless, but because Mo Sang was his disciple, he wanted to confirm it again and let him live a few more days.
Ye Liuyun's clone went out to search for martial artists with strong souls very smoothly.
Since Qiming City was occupied by Ye Liuyun and his men, all the strong men in the city had already fled.
Later, some new forces came, but there were no strong men at the peak of the ninth level.
So as soon as the clone went out, he found fifteen martial artists with hidden identities hiding around the City Lord's Mansion.
The clone directly planted a slave mark on a martial artist with the weakest soul, searched for information, and confirmed the identities of these fifteen people.
So Ye Liuyun also put on an invisible cloak and acted with the clone to ensure safety. He planted slave marks on all fifteen strong men and took back the space world.
Two of them had soul contracts signed with Mo Xiaotian, which were also directly erased by Ye Liuyun.
But Ye Liuyun found that the two had just received the message from Mo Xiaotian, saying that Ye Liuyun had returned to the Dongyun Dynasty and asked them to change the target of assassination to Song An.
However, before the two of them had time to pass the message to others, they were controlled by Ye Liuyun.
Mo Xiaotian also knew at this time that the fifteen reserve assassins he arranged were also killed, and he was so angry that he smashed the table next to him with a palm.
He was also annoyed that sending people to kill Ye Liuyun was so difficult.
Mo Sang had not made any movement for so long, and there was no response to the voice transmission. It was estimated that he was also killed.
"It seems that there is a soul cultivator around Ye Liuyun!"
Mo Xiaotian immediately thought that the soul cultivator around Ye Liuyun could kill even Mo Sang, so he must not be an ordinary person.
But he thought about it, but he couldn't figure out who that person was.
"Could it be a strong man from the Spirit Clan?
That's impossible! If the Spirit Clan has such a strong man, how could Ye Liuyun subdue him! Or is the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance secretly supporting him?
But the undercovers I sent out have no news about this!"
Mo Xiaotian had a splitting headache thinking about it, and he didn't expect that the "soul cultivator" was Ye Liuyun.
But in the end, he came up with a way to deal with Ye Liuyun.
He brought the imperial guards in batches and asked them all to sign soul contracts with him to improve the loyalty of these imperial guards.
He also knew that these imperial guards had not been on the battlefield for too long and had little combat effectiveness.
After doing this, it was just right to catch Ye Liuyun off guard.
Then, he sent several elders at the peak of the ninth level of the royal family to protect the commander of the imperial guards, and also asked them to sign soul contracts, and took 10,000 imperial guards to wipe out Ye Liuyun's army with great fanfare.
When the central region learned that the Zhongxing Dynasty had sent another 10,000 imperial guards, they couldn't help but laugh at the Zhongxing Dynasty for sending them to die, as if they had foreseen the outcome of these imperial guards.
Because the Zhongxing Dynasty has never won since it sent out the Imperial Guards.
Ye Liuyun was also very surprised to hear the news, and he didn't understand what Zhongxing Dynasty's intention was.
"You dealt with these Imperial Guards too easily the last few times.
Don't be careless this time! I guess Mo Xiaotian is not stupid, he won't give you a head for nothing! There must be a trick here, you must be more careful."
Song An reminded Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun also immediately notified Liu Yang and Mo Shaowen to send ten soul cultivators back for support.
At the same time, Xiao Yunfang was asked to take 50,000 new soldiers to meet the enemy as a training exercise. Ye Tiandao also had to conserve his strength and only sent 2,000 soldiers of the weakest Sharp Knife Corps to cooperate with Xiao Yunfang to meet the enemy.
The other Sharp Knife Corps concentrated in one city to defend.
Yu Xiaofeng's 100,000 Death Corps defended in two other cities.
The clone was also sent by Ye Liuyun to observe the battlefield situation in stealth to prevent accidents.
The 10,000 imperial guards of the Zhongxing Dynasty were indeed abnormal. They blatantly advanced directly to Ye Liuyun's outer city and rushed towards Xiao Yunfang's army.
Of the 2,000 soldiers of the Sharp Knife Regiment, 1,000 were at the front to meet the enemy first, and the other 1,000 were on both sides to cover the retreat of Xiao Yunfang's army.
But once they started fighting, Ye Liuyun discovered that these imperial guards were different.
This time they were not afraid of death and fought to the death with the Sharp Knife Regiment.
And the whole army pressed forward and attacked together.
The defense line of the Sharp Knife Regiment was torn apart by them in an instant.
"Retreat!"
Ye Liuyun immediately notified Xiao Yunfang.
Xiao Yunfang was also prepared. The 10,000 soldiers in the front were left to intercept, and the remaining 40,000 troops immediately retreated to the city where Ye Tiandao was.
The 1,000 soldiers of the Sharp Knife Regiment on both wings also immediately joined the battle to buy time for Xiao Yunfang's army to retreat.
The soul cultivators sent back by Liu Yang and Mo Shaowen took the opportunity to capture two prisoners and retreated with Xiao Yunfang.
These two thousand sharp knife soldiers, plus ten thousand new recruits, all used combined attack formations, so the imperial guards suffered heavy casualties.
If they had encountered such an attack in the past, they would have been afraid.
But this time, they continued to fight fearlessly, and Ye Liuyun's twelve thousand men really couldn't stop them.
It was too late for them to retreat now.
Once they retreated, their backs would be exposed to these imperial guards, and they would be chased and killed by them, and they could only hold on.
In less than an hour, Ye Liuyun's twelve thousand men were killed by these imperial guards, and none of them escaped.
Then they didn't rest and immediately rushed towards the city where Ye Tiandao was.
"Shoot!"
After Xiao Yunfang retreated, he immediately arranged for soldiers to replace the Sharp Knife Group to defend the city. The Sharp Knife Group had experience in attacking cities. Defending a city meant standing on the city wall and fighting. They did not have as many methods as ordinary soldiers.
After Xiao Yunfang waited for the imperial guards to approach, he gave an order, and rows of arrows and crossbows finally forced the imperial guards to retreat temporarily.
"They have become stronger!"
Ye Tiandao also saw the changes in these imperial guards.
"They were all forced to sign the soul contract!"
Ye Liuyun also received reports from the soul cultivators at this time and knew the real reason.
He immediately ordered the three outer cities to defend but not attack!
"What if they bypass the city and attack Qiming City?"
Xiao Yunfang asked worriedly.
"They will definitely think of it!"
Ye Liuyun immediately contacted Qiongqi to confirm how long the formation could withstand the attacks of these people.
"With so many strong men, this formation is not enough and needs to be rearranged!"
Qiongqi told Ye Liuyun.
While Ye Liuyun asked him to set up the formation, he told Xiao Yunfang and others: "Let them attack Qiming City.
Then we will close the door and beat the dog to prevent them from running away."
He took a look at the current number of the imperial guards. In the previous battle, the imperial guards lost more than a thousand people!
This battle, Ye Liuyun lost!
After all, they are strong men in the ninth level. Once they fight for their lives, they will not lose too much even if they face the formation attack!
After the imperial guards rested for a while, they immediately lined up again. Just as Ye Liuyun and others guessed, they bypassed the city and headed directly to Qiming City.
