Chapter 201: Lu Xueqi and the Others Arrive
At this moment, Guo Jing's heart was filled with anxiety and fury.
Yang Guo was in utter despair. He had never imagined that the reason behind his father's death had actually been this.
Previously, when Guo Jing and Huang Rong had just found him, he had wondered why Huang Rong had been so wary of him.
Now everything had become clear to him. He only hated himself for interfering. If the Great Khan of the Mongol-Yuan Empire had just killed Huang Rong earlier, wouldn't that have been even better?
The severely weakened Guo Jing, lying nearby, heard Ogedei's words and immediately shouted loudly:
“Guo'er! Don't listen to the Great Khan of the Mongol-Yuan Empire! Although your father's death back then did have something to do with Rong'er, the circumstances were extremely complicated. It was nothing like what the Great Khan of the Mongol-Yuan Empire described.
If we have the chance later, I'll explain everything to you. You must not believe Ogedei so easily!”
Hearing Guo Jing's words, Ogedei merely shook his head indifferently before saying to Yang Guo, “Whether you believe it or not is no longer important. In any case, all of you will die here today.”
After saying that, Ogedei turned around and returned directly to the ranks of the Mongol-Yuan Army, issuing an order to the countless Mongol-Yuan soldiers, “Capture Huang Rong and her daughter alive. Kill everyone else!”
Upon hearing the command, the Mongol-Yuan soldiers immediately bowed and replied, “Yes, Great Khan!”
Then they surged forward one after another, charging toward Huang Rong, Guo Jing, and the others.
At this moment, Guo Jing, Huang Yaoshi, Zhou Botong, and the others were all severely injured and could no longer muster much strength.
Looking at the tide of Mongol-Yuan soldiers rushing toward them, only despair remained in their eyes.
Although Huang Rong still had some strength left to resist, she was only a weak woman. How much longer could she possibly hold out?
Just as despair filled their faces and they prepared to close their eyes and await death, a ripping sound suddenly echoed across the sky.
The instant the sound rang out, Ogedei, who was already mounted atop his tall warhorse, was instantly alarmed.
He immediately looked toward the heavens and saw a massive spatial rift suddenly appear in the sky, with several figures faintly visible within it.
The moment Ogedei witnessed this scene, he sucked in a sharp breath and exclaimed in shock, “How is this possible?”
Without the slightest hesitation, his figure flashed as he darted into the midst of the Mongol-Yuan Army and concealed himself.
He understood all too well just how terrifying the strength of someone capable of opening a spatial passage was. It was far beyond anything he could withstand.
For his own safety, whether they were friend or foe, hiding first was undoubtedly the best choice.
He immediately issued another order:
“Hurry and kill them!”
Upon hearing the command, the countless Mongol-Yuan soldiers immediately sprang into action, swarming toward Guo Jing and the others like a tidal wave.
The newly arrived Lu Xueqi and the others in the sky immediately understood the situation upon seeing this scene.
When Xiaolongnü saw Yang Guo, who was already on the verge of death, she became somewhat anxious and softly called out, “Guo'er.”
Then, with a flash of her figure, she appeared directly before Yang Guo and the others.
Looking at the countless Mongol-Yuan soldiers charging toward them, she waved her right hand, instantly releasing an immensely powerful Palm Force.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of Mongol-Yuan soldiers were sent flying.
The surrounding Mongol-Yuan soldiers all changed expressions upon witnessing this and hesitated for a moment.
After all, Xiaolongnü's move had been far too terrifying.
However, when Ogedei, hiding in the rear, saw this, his expression grew even colder, though much of his fear toward Xiaolongnü and the others also dissipated.
Although Xiaolongnü's attack had indeed looked terrifying, it still had not exceeded the limits of his understanding.
Seeing this, Ogedei immediately ordered, “Continue the assault!”
Upon hearing the command, the Mongol-Yuan soldiers paused only briefly before once again raising their Long Blades and charging toward Xiaolongnü.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiaolongnü continuously unleashed Palm Force imbued with terrifying power, sending every Mongol-Yuan soldier who charged at her flying.
Watching the scene from above, Lu Xueqi narrowed her eyes slightly.
She turned to Xiong Ba beside her and said, “Guild Leader Xiong, you should go down and lend them a hand as well.”
After hearing this, Xiong Ba immediately nodded.
“Alright.”
With a slight sway of his body, he instantly appeared on the battlefield.
Looking at the countless Mongol-Yuan soldiers charging toward him, a look of disdain flashed across his eyes.
Then Xiong Ba suddenly gathered his Internal Energy and shouted fiercely:
“Threefold Return to Primordial Qi!”
In an instant, a massive sphere of light silently appeared.
He then struck out fiercely with a palm.
In that instant, stones shattered and flew everywhere as the earth collapsed.
Wherever the sphere of light passed, it carved out an enormous ravine.
Every Mongol-Yuan soldier standing before the sphere was instantly crushed into minced flesh.
In the blink of an eye, over a hundred Mongol-Yuan soldiers had been slaughtered by Xiong Ba.
Seeing this from his hiding place in the rear, Ogedei's eyes were filled with shock as he muttered,
“So it's actually Xiong Ba!”
The moment Xiong Ba made his move, Ogedei had already recognized him.
Then, after glancing at Xiaolongnü and the three people still standing in the sky, he frowned deeply.
He simply could not understand what exactly had happened to this world, nor why people from other worlds had also arrived here.
This left Ogedei extremely puzzled.
Meanwhile, Lu Xueqi continued using her Spiritual Power to scan the area below.
However, no matter how carefully she scanned, she discovered only countless Mongol-Yuan soldiers, along with the corpses of numerous fallen Mongol-Yuan soldiers, Song Dynasty Officials and Soldiers, and civilians of the Song Dynasty.
Other than that, she found nothing unusual whatsoever.
This left Lu Xueqi somewhat puzzled.
She turned to Lu Yu beside her and asked, “Lu Yu, have you discovered anything unusual?”
After hearing this, Lu Yu shook his head, indicating that he had not discovered anything abnormal.
Seeing this, Ling Qingzhu beside them also closed her eyes and began sensing the surroundings.
Her method of perception was extremely unique, as though her Spiritual Power wished to communicate with the World Spirit of this world.
However, the World Spirit of this world was far too vague and possessed almost no consciousness.
Acting purely on instinct to protect itself, it did not communicate any information to Ling Qingzhu.
After all, in its perception, Ling Qingzhu was not a native lifeform of this world either. Like an outsider from beyond the world, she was not someone it trusted.
Ling Qingzhu sighed softly before shaking her head and saying, “I haven't discovered any information either.”
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi said somewhat puzzledly, “This time, the Ten Thousand Worlds Chat Group's mission said that this world was facing a world-ending crisis. But judging from the current situation, no matter how I look at it, this doesn't qualify as a world-ending crisis. After all, this is merely a conflict among mortals.”
After hearing her words, everyone nodded in agreement.
In their eyes, the war between the Mongol-Yuan Army and the Song Dynasty was merely a conflict between mortals. No matter how fiercely they fought, it would only amount to the replacement of one nation by another. It was far from enough to bring about the destruction of the world.
Looking at the Mongol-Yuan Army below, along with the corpses of numerous Song Dynasty soldiers, Lu Yu said to Lu Xueqi,
“Fairy Lu, what do you think we should do now?”
After hearing this, Lu Xueqi shook her head and replied, “If any of you have any ideas, feel free to say them. I'll continue investigating to see whether there's anything unusual.”
Lu Yu immediately nodded.
“In my previous life, I was a Han Chinese. I naturally detest the Mongol-Yuan Army's slaughter of the Han people.
Now that I possess the strength, I naturally have to lend the Han people a helping hand.”
After saying that, his figure flashed as he also joined the battle below.
Once Lu Yu, Xiong Ba, Xiaolongnü, and the others joined the fight, batches of Mongol-Yuan soldiers were blasted to death one after another.
Yet Ogedei, hiding in the rear, showed not the slightest concern. Instead, a look of intense excitement appeared in his eyes as he muttered,
“Hahaha, don't you want to slaughter my Mongol-Yuan soldiers? Then I'll let you kill to your heart's content.”
He immediately ordered the surrounding generals to intensify the offensive, making sure that every one of those people would be captured.
The surrounding generals looked utterly terrified.
After all, Lu Yu and the others possessed methods no different from those of Immortals.
If they continued like this, they would likely all lose their lives here.
However, under Ogedei's coercion, they had no choice but to obey his orders.
