Chapter 148 Fierce Battle on a Rainy Night (Part 1)

The aged Feixian wine tastes sweet and refreshing, and it tastes great when paired with a table of good banquets.

Especially after Feixianju learned that this banquet was prepared for Zhao Ya and others, the chef who cooked the dishes was even more attentive, so everyone ate very comfortably.

After three cups of wine, Lu Dingtai put down the cup, looked at Zhao Ya and said: "I have seen the corpse of the giant ape. Judging from the wound, your swordsmanship seems to have improved."

Zhao Ya admired him in his heart.

As expected, he is a veteran in the martial arts world. His eyes are really sharp. He can see the improvement of his swordsmanship just by a little trace on the corpse.

He did not hide it and nodded directly; "Yes, Master, I suddenly had some insights when fighting in the woods, so I killed the giant ape."

"Yes, if you want to improve your martial arts skills in the end, you must go through actual combat training. You can do this, which proves that your talent is indeed strong enough."

When saying this, Lu Dingtai was full of relief.

To be honest, since Zhao Ya joined the martial arts hall, he actually did not teach him anything.

Except for the most important Vajra Fist, Lu Dingtai did not teach any other martial arts.

It was not that he wanted to hide anything, but Lu Dingtai felt that these martial arts were not worth Zhao Ya's energy.

This young man's talent was definitely not limited to the fourth realm, so his most important task now was to take advantage of his youth and impact the fifth realm as soon as possible.

If he could successfully exchange blood before the age of thirty and enter the fifth realm, then even if he had to sacrifice his face, he would have to do everything he could to make him become his disciple.

If he could successfully open his meridians, his future would be limitless.

Compared to these, the martial arts were just some trivial matters.

But I didn't expect that I still underestimated this young man.

He could actually sense the opportunity during the battle and make another step forward in the swordsmanship.

This also proved that Lu Dingtai's thinking was right.

For a genius like Zhao Ya, I couldn't interfere too much.

Thinking of this, Lu Dingtai liked Zhao Ya more and more, and couldn't help pouring another glass of wine.

"Come, Master toasts you."

When the master toasts, the disciple naturally dares not refuse.

Zhao Ya hurriedly stood up, "Master, you are too polite, I will drink first to show my respect."

He drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Lu Dingtai laughed.

He had heard people talk about his little disciple's drinking capacity, claiming that he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

But Lu Dingtai thought that was nonsense.

How could anyone really drink a thousand cups without getting drunk? It's nothing more than relying on their own strong strength to drink more than ordinary people.

So he also drank the wine in the cup.

"Come on, you have worked hard today, and we will not go home until we are drunk tonight."

Midnight.

Lu Dingtai staggered back.

After all, he was the master, and he didn't get drunk like Miao Shaocheng did that time.

Even so, Lu Dingtai was still drunk.

Although he tried his best to cover it up, his staggering posture when walking still betrayed him.

This also made him finally understand Zhao Ya's alcohol tolerance.

That was the real way to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, which had nothing to do with the size of the alcohol tolerance.

Zhao Ya watched his master leave, and then returned home.

At this time, Zui'er had already cleaned up the leftovers and was preparing to clean the yard.

Zhao Ya urged her to go back to her room and sleep, and he picked up the broom and swept the yard while thinking about what had happened recently.

He certainly didn't think that killing a ghost-faced giant ape would end the beast tide this time.

This was probably just the vanguard troops that came to test.

But the effect of this battle was also remarkable, at least it dispelled the fear in many people's hearts.

I just don't know what kind of beast tide we will face next?

In the next few days, Zhao Ya went to the tower to patrol every day, but he didn't find any traces of strange beasts.

Not only the east gate, but also the other three gates.

Except for the lack of merchants, everything seemed to have returned to its previous state.

And this also made many people in the county city overjoyed.

In their opinion, the death of the ghost-faced giant ape meant that the crisis was resolved.

So, the long-suppressed hearts were ready to move, and the major brothels and brothels that had been closed were reopened.

For a time, the entire county city was peaceful and prosperous, and the bustle of the past was restored.

But Zhao Ya did not relax at all.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhao Ya led his men to clear the woods outside the other three city gates to create a buffer zone of two miles.

At the same time, Zhao Ya also raised a large amount of materials, made a lot of kerosene, and then ambushed outside each city gate.

Now it is midsummer, the branches and leaves are lush, and the water content of the trees is very high. If you want to light a fire, you can only rely on these kerosene to help burn.

After preparing step by step for a few days, there was still no unusual movement.

Now even these martial arts school disciples are a little relaxed.

They think that this beast tide may be over.

So although there were still people on the tower every night, people's mood was very different from before. They talked and laughed, chatted and drank, and even played cards secretly.

Zhao Ya saw all this, but he didn't say anything.

If you pay too much attention to this kind of thing and say too much, it will often have a counterproductive effect.

After all, not everyone is like Zhao Ya, who firmly believes that there will definitely be a second wave of beasts coming.

Zhao Ya just silently increased the number of times he patrolled the city to prevent any omissions.

But for such a large capital, his power alone is too limited.

Even with the help of several senior brothers and Nie Jinnian, it was still beyond its capabilities.

Several days passed in this way, and the sky started to be gloomy from the morning. In the evening, a strong wind blew, and the dark clouds covered the stars and moon, and the sky and the earth were dark.

Faced with such bad weather, Zhao Ya naturally couldn't sit still.

What he fears most during this period is rain, because once it rains, even if the kerosene can be used, the effect will be greatly reduced.

So he shuttled between the major towers non-stop.

At the same time, the major martial arts schools were notified so that they could prepare in advance.

Some people took this seriously, but some still felt that Zhao Ya was making a fuss out of a molehill.

Snapped!

When the first raindrop fell, Zhao Ya stood under the eaves of a tower and silently looked at the endless dark clouds in the distant sky.

"It looks like it's going to be a downpour." Meng Shiwen sighed at the side.

While he was talking, dense raindrops were already falling, and soon gathered countless small puddles on the ground.

The noisy sound of rain can easily make people feel lonely, especially in this dark night.

Hiding under the small eaves, looking at the serious face of her junior brother Zhao Ya, Meng Shiwen somehow felt that this atmosphere was inexplicably warm.

"It's indeed a heavy rain." Zhao Ya said calmly, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

The heavy rain was far more intense than expected.

And under such rain, no matter how powerful the fire oil is, it will be difficult to fully burn.

This is what Zhao Ya is most worried about.

Sensing Zhao Ya's worry, Meng Shiwen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Actually, the situation shouldn't be that bad. Master had notified several other martial arts schools in the afternoon, and the government also sent troops to prepare for the situation."

"Right now, Shen Dao and Shaocheng, who have joined forces with disciples from major martial arts schools, are stationed at several city gates. We have done our best, so even if something happens again, it is not something we can change. ”

After hearing what Meng Shiwen said, Zhao Ya turned around and looked at her in surprise.

Because in his impression, Meng Shiwen would never say such long words, let alone comfort people.

Meng Shiwen's cheeks turned slightly red when Zhao Ya saw her, and she quickly turned her head to cover up the strangeness.

"Master asked me to tell you these words, so don't think too much about it."

Zhao Ya smiled when he heard this and said, "Thank you, senior sister."

As he said that, he once again cast his gaze on the rain curtain in front of him, and said in a calm tone: "Actually, I'm not too worried. As you said, we have done everything we can, and no matter what happens, we will not be able to control it." ”

"I'm just thinking that if something happens tonight, many people will never see the sun again tomorrow."

Meng Shiwen was about to say something.

At this moment, a sharp flash of light flashed across the sky, followed by deafening rolling thunder.

Meng Shiwen was startled, and out of the corner of her eye she seemed to catch a faint flash of fire in the distance.

"It's the South City Gate."

Zhao Ya and Meng Shiwen shouted in unison.

Previously, Zhao Ya, Shen Dao and others had agreed that when a situation arises on one side, it would be convenient for them to immediately light the warning fire station on the tower to alert others.

But who would have thought that the first person to warn was the usually inconspicuous South City Gate.

You must know that the most important thing about the county city is the east and west gates. The north and south face the mountains and forests respectively. It is a remote place. Except for woodcutters and hunters who collect firewood, few people come in and out.

"Who is at the South City Gate?" Zhao Ya asked.

"It's Nie Jingnian from Renyong Martial Arts School!" Meng Shiwen immediately replied.

"You stay here and I'll go take a look!"

After saying this, Zhao Ya did not wait for Meng Shiwen's reply, and disappeared into the rain curtain in a flash.

Meng Shiwen opened her mouth to speak, but within a moment, Zhao Ya was no longer visible.

In desperation, she had no choice but to cheer up and look at the night sky outside the city.

There seemed to be countless behemoths hiding in the dark night that would devour people. Even Meng Shiwen, who usually prided herself on being brave, felt a little shuddering at this moment.

I hope my junior brother will be safe!

She prayed silently in her mind.

At the same time, Zhao Ya was rushing through the rain.

The clothes on my body were already soaked, but I couldn't care less about that at this time.

Because he knows Nie Jinnian very well.

Unless something big happened that he couldn't solve alone, he would never light a fire casually as a warning.

But there is a long way to go from the east side where he is to the south city gate. No matter how anxious you are, it will take a while.

When he was feeling anxious, he suddenly saw that the city gate to the north was also on fire.

Zhao Ya's heart suddenly sank.

What he was most worried about happened.

The last beast wave only targeted the east gate, but this time it launched a brazen attack on both city gates.

But now that the matter was over, Zhao Ya had nothing more to say.

Because just as Meng Shiwen said, they have achieved the ultimate, and then, it depends on their own fate.

Set the time back to three minutes ago.

In the south city gate.

Nie Jingnian stood at the lookout and looked out.

The lights were brightly lit behind them. Several martial arts disciples had gotten two roast chickens and a jar of old wine from nowhere, and they were sitting around eating, drinking and laughing.

Jiang Zhong from Baibu Martial Arts School came to Nie Jingnian with a bowl of wine.

"Senior Brother Nie, drink some wine to drive away the cold. I'll take care of you."

Nie Jinnian nodded, took the bowl and drank slowly at the side.

"Such heavy rain is really rare." Jiang Zhong kept talking to Nie Jingnian.

Nie Jinnian didn't speak, just drank in silence.

Jiang Zhong didn't take it seriously either.

Compared to his cultivation level, a master like Nie Jinnian had nothing to do with him.

Now that we can become acquaintances, it is an unexpected blessing.

At this moment, a warrior stood up and walked out.

"Niu Zhen, why are you going?" Jiang Zhong couldn't help but ask when he saw this.

"I drank a little too much. Let's go out and drink some water." Niu Zhen said cheerfully.

He is from the Zhenshan Boxing Gym. His strength is between the second realm and the third realm. He is not very strong, but he is generous and easy to get along with.

Jiang Zhong frowned, "Be careful, be careful not to slide down the city wall and fall to your death!"

"Hahahaha, you kid is really good at joking."

Niu Zhen smiled and cursed, opened the door and walked out without putting on his clothes.

The strong wind carried rainwater into the house.

A warrior close to the door was muttering and was about to close the door.

At this moment, a sharp sound broke through the air.

The next moment, Nie Jingnian, who was drinking slowly, rushed out like an arrow from a string.

Then he saw a huge black shadow hovering in the air, with sharp claws grabbing a head. It was Niu Zhen who had just gone out.

Nie Jingnian's expression changed wildly.

Because with his eyesight, he could see that this huge black shadow was clearly a strange flying bird.

After Nie Jingnian came out, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from under the city wall and lunged at him. A pair of sharp claws went straight to his head, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

Nie Jinnian dodged the blow in the blink of an eye, and then pulled out his two swords to protect his whole body.

But then he saw a scene that frightened him.

I saw countless black shadows swaying above the city tower, and countless giant birds were circling.

"Quick, light the fire as a warning!" Nie Jinnian yelled.

At the same time, the two swords danced like flying, constantly slashing at these giant birds that were rushing toward him.

when!

There was a sound of gold and iron clashing, and Nie Jinnian's swords were held by the claws of a giant bird. Sparks flew everywhere, and Nie Jinnian groaned, and was almost knocked off the city wall by a huge force.

At this moment, an iron pellet suddenly flew through the air and hit the giant bird on the head.

Although he failed to hurt it, he successfully solved Nie Jingnian's dilemma.

The giant bird let out a sharp cry, flapped its wings, and flew up.

Nie Jingnian was in shock. When he looked back, he saw Jiang Zhong holding a huge slingshot and shouting at him.

"Brother Nie, come in quickly!"

Nie Jingnian ducked into the house. Someone closed and bolted the door, and then said in horror.

"Just...just what was that?"

"I don't know, but it should be a flying beast."

Nie Jingnian's heart was heavy.

He did not say that there were countless giant birds circling above everyone's heads at this time.

Such words will only disturb people's minds.

"Is the warning light on?" he asked.

Jiang Zhong nodded, "It's lit!"

Then he forced a smile and said: "No matter how powerful that flat-haired beast is, he probably can't break through this thick city wall."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise above his head.

It turned out that the tiles on the roof were ripped away by the giant bird with its claws.

The expressions of everyone in the room suddenly changed.

"Don't panic, these giant birds need to accumulate strength before launching an attack."

Nie Jingnian had just noticed that these giant birds were constantly circling in the air, and would only swoop down to attack when necessary.

Everyone managed to calm down, took out their weapons, and prepared to fight these giant birds to the death.

At this moment, a shrill bird song suddenly came from outside.

Someone saw through the crack in the door a sword flash across the night sky, and then a giant bird fell to the ground.

And when the visitor landed on the city wall, someone shouted in surprise: "It's Mr. Zhao!"

"Master Zhao is here!"

Unknowingly, Zhao Ya has become the backbone of many people.

When he walked into the house, many people's spirits were lifted.

Zhao Ya held the meteorite iron knife in his hand and walked quickly to the lookout to look out.

But at this time, the night was as dark as ink, and the rain curtain blocked the situation, making it impossible to see the situation in the distance.

Zhao Ya looked solemn and took a deep breath.

"Listen carefully, although these giant birds can fly, their flying speed is not very fast, and they will charge up and hover before attacking. As long as you accurately grasp this point and attack, the three realms can kill them."

After saying that, Zhao Ya looked at Nie Jingnian standing aside.

"Can you hold it?"

Nie Jingnian nodded without hesitation, "If you can't hold on, I'll come see you!"

"It doesn't have to be like this. It's going to be a tough battle tonight, just play by ear!"

After saying that, Zhao Ya rushed into the rain again.

A giant bird attacked immediately, and several flashes of swords were seen, and the corpse fell down.

But Zhao Ya has disappeared.

Finally wrote about the war
