Zhang Xiaofeng said, "It's not me who messed with them. I went to Shouyang to find out about Chang Baicao. As a result, just the second day in the city, the Qiankun Cult suddenly gathered tens of thousands of scholars to attack the city, and surrounded Shouyang, like an iron barrel. There were only more than 5,000 defenders in the city, which was too great, and the defenders did not have the courage to fight. Not to mention that the Qiankun Cult worshipped the bloodthirsty evil god, and any city that was destroyed would be slaughtered. In short, the whole Shouyang was filled with hearts and cried endlessly. Many people were afraid that the city would be abused after it was destroyed, and they even committed suicide."

Zhou Shaobai was a little surprised when he heard this. The actions of the Qiankun Sect mentioned by Zhang Xiaofeng are far from what Lu Wenqi said, but why?

"I saw all kinds of tragic situations in the city and thought all day long what I should do as a disciple of Xiyun to live up to the teachings of the leader. So I went to ask for the general Li Dongguang, the defending general in the city. At first, he disappeared on the grounds that he was busy with military affairs. I had to show that I was a disciple of Xiyun, and then I met General Li."

Li Yuankang smiled and said, "Suddenly, such a capable man came. He must be extremely happy. He must be regarded as a god to you and praised you as a heavenly soldier."

"General Li didn't believe that I was a disciple of Xiyun at first, so I used some Taoist sect in the schoolyard, which made him no longer have doubts. General Li asked me, with my cultivation and the five thousand defenders in the city, if I could retreat after a bloody battle. I answered truthfully, with my current cultivation, it was really difficult to achieve it."

"So General Li discussed with his subordinates and said that since the righteous man is so generous, he will entrust him to you with an important task."

Zhou Shaobai asked, "What is the important task?"

"Send a letter. Minfeng is southeast of Shouyang, and there are 20,000 elite soldiers in the city. The few messengers sent by General Li could not break through the siege of the Qiankun scholars, and the letter of help could not be delivered. So he entrusted me with this matter and asked me to deliver this letter within one day." Zhang Xiaofeng said calmly.

Zhou Shaobai widened his eyes: "One person breaks through the numerous encirclements?"

"Since I volunteered, I had no choice but to do what General Li gave me. So he ordered the city gate to open slightly, so that the archers could shoot a gap. I took the opportunity to jump out and rushed towards Minfeng. But there were indeed many church members outside, and everyone was rushing towards me with swords and guns in hand. I drew out the sword to fight and repel their attacks. After two hours, I finally broke out of the siege and headed towards Minfeng." Zhang Xiaofeng's eyes became solemn, obviously recalling the cruel bloody battle at that time.

"When I arrived in Minfeng, found the general who led the troops and submitted it to General Li's handwritten letter to report the situation of Shouyang, the general just sighed and said he knew, and then stopped moving. I was surprised and asked him why he didn't send troops to rescue him quickly, but the general said that he had no tiger talisman and could not mobilize the army." Zhang Xiaofeng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Zhou Shaobai asked: "What is the tiger talisman?"

"The imperial court's military transfer certificate is that without the tiger talisman, the army cannot be transferred. But if the book was submitted to the court now, and when the imperial tiger talisman arrived here, Shouyang would have been compromised long ago. After the general told me about these situations, I felt it would be useless to stay, so I might as well go back and tell General Li about the situation." Zhang Xiaofeng said.

Zhou Shaobai thought to himself: I ran back and forth for a day and then went back from outside the city. Senior Brother Zhang said it very lightly, but I can never think of the danger in it.

"Although what I brought back was bad news, I didn't want to reunite the originally dispersed morale of the army. General Li said that since there would be no rescuers, he would stay in the city and not have enough food and grass, and he would die every day, so he might as well go out of the city to fight a decisive battle. Maybe he could find a glimmer of life. I think General Li said it well, so he volunteered to be the vanguard of the army he deployed."

"That night, the sky was covered with dark clouds and heavy rain. General Li said this was a good opportunity to attack. Most of the Qiankun scholars were sheltering from the tent. If they rushed to the camp, they might have achieved results. So I took two hundred people quietly out of the city gate while the night was dark, trying to touch the enemy camp. As a result, this was the trap set by the Qiankun scholar." Zhang Xiaofeng said here, shook his head and sighed, "Double times of the church members surrounded us. I don't know how many people I killed before returning to the city, and the remaining two hundred people were all killed in battle, with almost no corpse."

Zhou Shaobai and others didn't speak. Although their performance was amazing, they had no idea about the death battle on the battlefield. However, just listening to Zhang Xiaofeng's simple statement, they could already feel the murderous aura in it and couldn't help but feel silent.

"The next day, the sky cleared up, and the Qiankun scholars began to attack the city. General Li divided into four groups to guard the four cities gates. I followed him to the center and rushed to the city gates at any time. In this battle, the corpses of the church outside the city gate were piled up like mountains, blood flowing into rivers, and there were no ten defenders in the city. General Li followed the wishes of the dying soldiers and used their bodies to fill the incomplete city walls. The people were inspired and joined the ranks of guarding the city, and naturally countless casualties were killed or injured." Zhang Xiaofeng said, and sighed again.

Zhou Shaobai thought to himself: Senior Brother Zhang has always been calm and cold, and does not express his feelings easily, but now he sighs. I really don’t know how I would feel if I saw the bloody battle in the city with my own eyes.

Li Yuankang asked, "It's so tragic, what's the situation in Shouyang City right now? Since Senior Brother Zhang is here, according to your personality, I guess he's saved it."

Zhang Xiaofeng was silent for a moment and nodded.

Zhou Shaobai asked in confusion: "But as you said, there are only more than 500 guards left in the city and there are no reinforcements outside. Is this a sure defeat?"

Zhang Xiaofeng looked solemn and asked, "Have you ever heard of "The Thunder Sword Art"?"

Zhou Shaobai had never heard of it, and Li Yuankang and Mu Ning all changed their expressions.

Mu Ningzhi blurted out: ""Pi Li Sword Art"! You actually used this kind of Taoist technique! Impossible! "Pi Li Sword Art" cannot be practiced before the realm of Kaitian. Your current cultivation level is at most the third level of Guiren's body-reflecting realm. How could you cross Pingyang, gather your spirits and enter the realm of Kaitian all at once?"

Zhang Xiaofeng said slowly: "Yes, my cultivation level is indeed only as good as Guiren's body. However, our Nine Yang Peak has its own secret skills, which can temporarily stimulate the inner alchemy dozens of times of its power. At that time, it would be equivalent to having a level of cultivation level. So I used the Five Thunders in the "Pierre Sword Art" to destroy it."

Zhou Shaobai remembered the day when the Nine Meridians discussed the Tao, Li Yuankang once said that although the Nine Meridians were practicing at the same time, they also realized different Taoist sects. Each Meridian has its own secret skills and cannot be passed down. This secret skill of Xiaofeng is obviously the secret of the Nine Yang Peak.

"Five thunders kills the destruction, once this technique is released, the five thunders blow the top, the heaven and earth kills the destruction..." Li Yuankang closed his eyes, remembering the power of the five thunders kills, and his forehead was sweating profusely.

He opened his eyes and asked, "What will happen after the Five Thunders are used?"

Zhang Xiaofeng said sadly: "Flying sand and stones, black clouds and fog city. Five thunders fell from the sky, deafening. More than 6,000 people were killed or injured by the Qiankun Cult, and they retreated in panic."
