Volume 10 Chapter 236
Chapter 236
Tang Yin stood still. He could dodge, but the many Fengjun soldiers behind him would suffer. ()
Without time to think, Tang Yin shook his shoulders, and two swords appeared in his palms. They were combined and transformed into sickles. Then, he shouted at Shangguan Yuanrang and others: "Let's work together to hold it!"
Shangguan Yuanrang and others were all shocked. This huge stone weighed at least thousands of pounds. How much more than a thousand pounds would the rolling force from a high position weigh?
But Tang Yin didn't hide, and they didn't dare to retreat. Shangguan Yuanrang, Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin, Asan, and Asan each completed the spiritual transformation of their soldiers and stood side by side with Tang Yin. When the huge stone rolled close, Tang Yin took the lead and roared, exerting all his strength to stab the sickle in his hand diagonally into the ground. Shangguan Yuanrang and the other five did the same, and they all stabbed the spiritual weapons in their hands diagonally into the ground.
With a bang, the boulder hit the spiritual weapons of Tang Yin and the other six people, making a deafening sound.
Tang Yin and the other six people were all shaken at the same time, their feet pressed against the ground, and slid back more than half a meter. The strong momentum made the six people's chests and abdomens churn, and their throats were also slightly sweet. However, with the combined strength of the six people, they finally held up the boulder.
Seeing the boulder stop rolling, Shangguan Yuanrang took a deep breath, and the veins at the root of his neck jumped up high. He shouted and used all his strength to pick the bottom of the boulder with a three-pointed double-edged knife.
Tang Yin immediately noticed his intention and said to the people around him: "Work together to lift it down!"
Shangguan Yuanrang alone could not lift such a huge stone, but Tang Yin, Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin, Asan, Asan, and many Fengjun soldiers who swarmed up pushed outwards together, and the boulder finally rolled slowly to the side.
Everyone tried their best, and heard a loud bang in their ears. The boulder was pushed down the cliff by their combined strength and hit the bottom of the cliff, making a dull roar. The echo lasted for a long time, and the ground under people's feet was shaking non-stop.
Huh! Seeing the boulder being pushed down the cliff, everyone sighed. Cheng Jin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, turned back and shouted: "Anshi, follow me to the top of the mountain to kill the enemy!"
Now there is no need to send people to check. There is an ambush on the top of the mountain. Cheng Jin took more than 40 Anshi personnel, covered with spiritual armor, and began to climb to the top of the mountain frantically.
Fearing that another boulder would fall from the top of the mountain, Tang Yin ordered the whole army to retreat and wait for Anshi to solve the trouble first.
Tang Yin's team retreated a hundred feet away before stopping. People looked up at the top of the mountain, but they couldn't see what was going on there at all. They could only hear intermittent fighting sounds occasionally.
Half an hour later, Cheng Jin was the first to come down from the top of the mountain along the rope. When he arrived in front of Tang Yin's carriage, he bowed and saluted, saying, "My lord, there are indeed assassins on the mountain, no less than 20 of them. They are now controlled by hidden arrows and will be brought down by the brothers soon!"
Tang Yin, who was sitting in the carriage, nodded, snorted coldly, and said, "Why do you think the assassins can set up an ambush here and prepare such a big 'meeting gift'?"
Cheng Jin hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The assassin must have known the route we are going to take. I guess someone in our team is secretly communicating with the assassin."
"Since you know everything, then go and check it out! But this time, Cheng Jin, don't return empty-handed again!" Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and said slowly.
"I understand." Cheng Jin's body trembled, bowed and saluted, and then without stopping for a moment, he climbed back to the top of the mountain along the rope.
Shangguan Yuanrang and Jiang Fan on the side looked at each other and frowned at the same time.
There was a spy inside, which was the result they least wanted to see, but facts speak louder than words. Without two or three days of preparation, the assassins could not have arranged such a huge boulder on the top of the mountain.
If Shangguan Yuanrang had not discovered the clues and ordered to stop advancing in time, the boulder would not have fallen ten meters away, but would have fallen on Tang Yin's head. Such a huge monster, even if Tang Yin was a god, he would not be able to escape.
Shangguan Yuanrang shook his head to Jiang Fan and said, "Let's go! Let's go up and see who the assassins are!"
Jiang Fan also had this intention, and immediately nodded, and climbed to the top of the mountain with Shangguan Yuanrang along the rope.
The area of the top of the mountain is very large, but the only place where the battle took place is the edge of the cliff. There are more than ten bodies lying on the ground.
Looking carefully, each body has at least four or five fatal injuries, which are obviously left at the same time when being besieged by many people.
The hidden arrow personnel have been dispersed and are searching for assassins everywhere on the top of the mountain.
Another group of hidden arrows stood in a circle, with six or seven people wearing ordinary people's clothes sitting or lying in the middle. At this time, Cheng Jin was grabbing one of them by the hair and roaring something loudly.
Shangguan Yuanrang and Jiang Fan walked forward, and when they saw them, the hidden arrows automatically made way for them.
"Are they the assassins who are ambushing on the top of the mountain?" Shangguan Yuanrang came close to Cheng Jin and asked suspiciously.
"That's right! Damn, these guys don't say a word!" Cheng Jin pushed the man's head away fiercely, and then shook his head helplessly at Shangguan Yuanrang.
"Can they be made of iron? If they don't say anything, they will be tortured! They should have never seen what it's like to skin a living person, now they can see it!" Shangguan Yuanrang stuck the three-pointed double-edged knife into the ground, and then found a protruding stone to sit on.
Cheng Jin nodded and winked at the secret arrow personnel beside him. Hidden Arrow understood, and two of them immediately walked out, grabbed one of them by his clothes, and dragged him out without any explanation. After pulling him out five or six meters away, the two of them joined forces, and three or two of them stripped the man naked, while using a knife to drag him out. He gestured on his body and said coldly: "If you don't speak again, don't blame us for being cruel!"
The man had no fear on his face. He closed his eyes and acted like a dead pig is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water and does whatever you want.
hey-hey! The two assassins sneered. They liked people who were tough and could be tortured at will.
The two men were no longer polite. They both pulled out their sabers, forced the man to the ground, and started cutting from his back. In a short time, they cut open the flesh on his shoulders, ribs and waist. Then, the two of them grabbed him at the same time. The skin on his lower back was lifted up violently, and with a sound of sand, the entire skin on the man's back was torn off.
"Ah——" No matter how strong the consciousness is, people cannot bear the torture of skinning.
The man let out a heart-rending scream, rolled his eyes, and fainted. There was no water on the top of the mountain to wake him up, so the secret assassins picked up the corpse of an assassin and cut off its head with a knife, then showered him with human blood.
After the man woke up, he continued to skin him. After repeating this process several times, the man was no longer human, with only a face still covered with flesh and blood. His appearance was terrifying and soul-stirring.
"General, he's dead!" The two assassins kicked the bloody corpse on the ground to confirm that it was out of breath, then stood up and reported to Cheng Jin while wiping their hands with the assassin's clothes.
Cheng Jin spoke expressionlessly to the other captured assassins and said, "Continue."
"Yes, General!" The two secret assassins smiled strangely and began to choose the next target for torture.
Dark archers are famous for being black. These dark spiritual cultivators Ya Gen do not regard the people who fall into their hands as human beings. Their execution methods can scare even the timid people crazy.
Although Shangguan Yuanrang and Jiang Fan were killing people on the battlefield, they were unwilling to look at this kind of execution scene. The two walked to a distant place with tacit understanding and chatted word by word.
When Dark Arrow was about to use skinning torture on the third assassin, one assassin finally couldn't stand it anymore. His eyes were wide open, his whole body was shaking, and he shouted loudly: "We are the Rangers of Mo Country!"
Yo? Cheng Jin's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand to stop the two men who were about to torture him. Then he walked up to the man and looked down at him. The man was in his thirties and under forty, with an ordinary appearance. Five short stature.
He looked at him for a moment, grinned, and politely helped the man up from the ground, then pulled him aside and said with a smile: "That's right! As long as you tell us what we need to know, Not only do you not have to die, you can also get gold and silver as a reward from the king!"
The man did not dare to look at the angry eyes of his companions that were almost spitting out flames, and said to Cheng Jin in a trembling voice: "I...I don't want your gold and silver. I just hope you can let us live..."
"That's no problem, as long as you are willing to tell us the truth." The smile on Cheng Jin's face deepened. Although he was smiling, it was so creepy.
Cheng Jin talked with the man for half an hour, then turned around and walked back, looked at the other assassins, and asked: "He has told me everything he knows, are you still planning not to speak? "
The fear of death and defection of their companions quickly caused the inner defenses of the other assassins to collapse quickly. Originally, they could grit their teeth and hold on to the secrets in their hearts, but now the secret is no longer a secret, and they are forced to endure the torture of being skinned. They no longer have such strong willpower.
Soon, several other assassins also confessed. They were all Rangers from the Mo Kingdom. As Tang Yin and others expected, it was indeed someone within the Feng Army who had an affair with the assassin, and the spies were in the directly affiliated army.
According to the reforms proposed by Qiu Zhen, the Feng Army's policy of recruiting new soldiers was relaxed. Ning people and Mo people poured into the main armies of the Feng Kingdom's Central Army in large numbers. Among them, there were also many Mo people with ulterior motives who were lurking inside the Feng Army, waiting for opportunities. Now, there are even rangers from the Mo Kingdom sneaking in and becoming captains and commanders of the army.
Even in the first corps of the direct army, there are such Mo country spies. It was the existence of spies who secretly leaked Tang Yin's itinerary to the Mo assassins who were trying to assassinate him, and this assassination operation was carried out.
