Chapter 333 - 273, Siege
The sounds of the world seemed to have disappeared.
Chen Ji stood at the end of the staircase, swinging his blade like a curtain, sweat pouring down like rain. He could no longer hear the shouts and cries of the Heavenly Strategy Army; his world was reduced to his own heavy breathing.
He had forgotten how long he had been fighting, but it had been a long time. A time long enough for his arms to grow sore and numb, for his strength to be almost completely drained, making him want to close his eyes and sleep well.
The inn’s interior piled with bodies in two layers, blood soaking beyond the shoes, causing the armored soldiers of the Heavenly Strategy Army to make a sticky sound as they stepped in, making the stairs sticky and wet.
A soldier of the Heavenly Strategy Army chopped down with his sword, Chen Ji countered with a backhand slash, the blade of the Whale Blade scraped against the opponent’s blade, creating sparks and neatly slicing through neck skin, flesh, and bone.
Qi Zhenzhuo saw him blocking the staircase like a one-man army, seemingly not difficult, and immediately shouted, "You take a rest; I’ll take over!"
Chen Ji looked at him silently, stepping aside to the left. Just as Qi Zhenzhuo took over, a soldier of the Heavenly Strategy Army suddenly lunged toward them, as they had been waiting for the moment Chen Ji was exhausted!
With his massive Innate Realm force, Qi Zhenzhuo slashed away an incoming blow from a Heavenly Strategy Army soldier and then struck down onto the soldier’s shoulder.
But the heavenly soldier, mad as a rabid dog, abandoned his weapon and clung to Qi Zhenzhuo’s waist, attempting to push him aside with brute force to clear the staircase entrance.
Qi Zhenzhuo tried to draw his sword again, but the blade was firmly stuck in the heavenly soldier’s muscles, bones, and armor.
"Argh!" Qi Zhenzhuo screamed in panic.
