VI. The Demise of Manichaeism 5

Yang Yan smiled bitterly and was speechless. 78 starter Zhong Ziang said again: "I only ask you for one thing, take good care of Xiaohuan in the future." ”

Yang Yan lost his voice and said, "What? ”

Zhong Ziang said: "Xiaohuan is waiting for you in Qiongzhou City, and I will ask you to take good care of her in the future, and I can also look at her under Jiuquan." Don't say anything else, go back. ”

Yang Yan sighed softly, turned around and returned to his team, only to hear Zhong Ziang chant loudly: "Burn my remnants, blazing holy fire, what joy is life, and why is death painful?" For the sake of good and evil, but for the sake of light, joy and sorrow, all to dust. ”

Then more than 300 people with Zhong Ziang also chanted together: "Burn my body, the holy fire is blazing, what is the joy of life, and why is it bitter to die?" For the sake of good and evil, but for the sake of light, joy and sorrow, all to dust. Then they all rushed towards the Song army.

Yang Yan shook his head and said softly, "Release the arrow." ”

The sharp sound of the arrows rubbing against the air immediately pressed down on the Manichaean army's chant, and like raindrops, it fell on the Manichaean army's heads. The wails and screams and the sound of reaching the ground began to replace chanting, but the Manichaean army still stubbornly charged towards the Song army in a desperate posture, and after a few rounds of bows and arrows, there were less than 100 Manichaean soldiers left in front of the Song army.

Zhong Ziang was the first to rush into the Song army's formation, and with a wave of his palms, three Song soldiers were immediately knocked out, and then crashed into the Song army behind, all organs were torn, and the seven orifices bled to death. But the Song army immediately swarmed up and surrounded Zhong Ziang.

Zhong Ziang was not afraid, his palms were like flying, and every blow brought out a strong and fierce energy, even if Song Jun was not facing the palm, he was also shocked by the palm wind, and his mouth spurted blood and died. In the blink of an eye, Zhong Ziang rushed left and right in the Song army formation, killing dozens of Song soldiers in a row, but he also suffered more than a dozen wounds on his own body, and at this time, in the entire Song army array, all the other Manichaean soldiers were killed in the battle, and he was the only one left. And Song Jun couldn't help but be shocked when he saw him so brave, and for a while he just surrounded Zhong Ziang, and no one dared to step forward easily.

Zhong Ziang laughed, and actually took the initiative to rush into the Song army's formation, flying with his palms, and killing five or six Song soldiers one after another.

At this time, only a long howl was heard, Zhong Ziang only felt that the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and one person held a long sword in his hand, scattered a sword net, and covered himself as a head. ^^ to see the latest Zhong Ziang knew that a master was coming, so he shouted at the moment, improved his skills, waved his palms, and struck into the air.

The person who came was Ling Xiang. His master Huang Shunping died at the hands of Manichaeism, and this account naturally had to be counted on Zhong Ziang's head, and now was a good time for revenge, so he stepped forward and swung his sword at Zhong Ziang.

The experience of more than a year has also made Ling Xiang's martial arts greater, although it is not as good as Zhong Ziang at this time, but it is not far behind, plus Zhong Ziang just had a fierce battle, and also consumed considerable strength, and there was a Song army around to contain it, only to listen to the sound of "Peng, Peng, Peng, Peng......" A series of energetic strikes, Zhong Ziang blocked Ling Xiang's twenty-seven swords in a row, but he was still stabbed three swords by Ling Xiang, and he was attacked by Song soldiers in the back and was stabbed twice. However, the two Song soldiers who succeeded in the sneak attack did not get any good, and they were shocked by Zhong Ziang's body protection skills, and they died with blood spurting from their mouths.

However, Ling Xiang's three swords all contained extremely strong energy, and Zhong Ziang only felt that his qi and blood were rolling, and a mouthful of blood also spurted out of his mouth.

At this time, Huang Mingxia, Huang Zhengping, Huang Qi, Huang Ye, Huang Taisong, Huang Taibai and other disciples of the Huang family also surrounded him, Huang Mingxia pulled out the lancet, and said: "Zhong Ziang, today I want to avenge my father." ”

Zhong Ziang laughed and said: "The old man has killed countless people in his life, whoever wants to take revenge should come up." ”

Ling Xiang snorted coldly, shook his long sword, and stabbed at Zhong Ziang like lightning.

Zhong Ziang didn't dare to underestimate him, his body was on one side, avoiding the blade of the sword, his left hand was like a halberd, and he pointed towards Ling Xiang's door. Ling Xiang unfolded his sword momentum, scattered a little cold star, did not give an inch, and attacked Zhong Ziang with his moves.

Huang Mingxia, Huang Zhengping, Huang Qi, Huang Ye and others also raised their weapons and came up to besiege Zhong Ziang. And at this time, Zhong Ziang already had more than a dozen wounds on his body, and the blood was not stopping, and the three swords that were stabbed by Ling Xiang just now had already injured the meridians, and his body protection skills were also greatly reduced. The rest of the Song army had already stopped, but only surrounded them and did not come forward to attack.

In the battle group, Ling Xiang alone almost took over Zhong Ziang's eighty percent of the offensive, and the others only responded around, although their martial arts were not first-class masters, but they were not ordinary people, and all of a sudden, swords, guns, swords and sticks were all attacking Zhong Ziang. Without paying attention, he was slashed on Zhong Ziang's left shoulder by Huang Mingxia, Zhong Ziang was in pain, and was about to chase Huang Mingxia out, when he hurt in the back, he was stabbed by Huang Ye's sword again, and Jun had time to fight back, Ling Xiang's sword light rolled up like a match.

Zhong Ziang was in pain, roared, ignored Ling Xiang's long sword anymore, turned around and put out both palms together, "bang, bang" twice, the weapons in Huang Ye and Huang Qi's hands were knocked away, staggered back a few steps, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground. Fortunately, this Zhong Ziang thought that it was the end of the crossbow, and although the two were not lightly injured, they did not die.

Ling Xiang swung his sword and stabbed sharply, Zhong Ziang struck three more swords, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly kicked Huang Zhengping on the left side with a backhand. Huang Mingxia swung the knife and slashed quickly, stabbing into Zhong Ziang's lower abdomen, Zhong Ziang held the blade with one hand and "clicked", and actually broke the lancet alive, Huang Mingxia saw that he was covered with blood, describing the horror, she was shocked, and hurriedly abandoned the knife and retreated.

Zhong Ziang was about to catch up, when Huang Taisong and Huang Taibai came up from left to right, and the two swords pierced into Zhong Ziang's left and right ribs respectively. Zhong Ziang sneered, reached out and grabbed the wrists of the two, although they were seriously injured, Huang Taisong and Huang Taibai still felt that their wrists were like being clamped by iron hoops, and their bones were cracked, and they couldn't break free.

Zhong Ziang shouted: "You and I ...... together" The words did not fall, and he stopped dumbly. I saw a sword tip emerging from my chest, and when I looked back, it turned out to be Ling Xiang who pierced through the body with a sword from behind Zhong Ziyu.

Zhong Ziang laughed and said, "Okay... Good... Death at your hands, too... It's not in vain. He let go of Huang Taisong and Huang Taibai with both hands, held them in front of his chest, made a flame shape, and said, "For... Good eliminates evil, but light... Bright... Therefore, joy... Sad... Worry about... All... Return to the dust... Earth. After reading it, his mouth opened wide, he could no longer speak, and his body stood still.

Ling Xiang wiped his sweat and pulled his sword out of Zhong Ziang's body. Huang Qi, Huang Ye, Huang Zhengping and others also slowly got up from the ground, although they were injured, but fortunately, they were not worried about their lives. Huang Mingxia said softly: "We have finally avenged our father and the dead brothers of the slave clan, and they should be at ease underground." ”

Yang Yan sighed softly again and said, "Although Zhong Ziang is dead, he has not lost his bearing. He shouldn't be put in the wilderness, it's better to find a coffin and bury it. Then he ordered the soldiers to collect the corpses of the Song and Manichaean soldiers who had died in the battle. Then he ordered: "Enter Qiongzhou." ”

At this time, Qiongzhou was already an empty city, and there was not a single remaining member of the Manichaean army, and most of the residents also went out of the city to surrender like the Song army, and the streets and alleys were empty. However, Yang Yan didn't dare to be careless, and after entering the city, he sent Qi Dazhu and others to garrison the city gates, and ordered Ling Xiang and Huang Ming to lead people to search the city to see if there were any Manichaean troops hiding in the shadows.

And Yang Yan himself, Zhao Qianru, Tie Chenglin, Gu Xueping, Wu Xi and others led a team of Song troops to the state government of Qiongzhou, because Zhong Ziang told Yang Yan that Zhong Xinhuan stayed in the state office. In the end, how to arrange Zhong Xinhuan, whether to keep her by his side or let her go again, in fact, Yang Yan has not made a good idea, but one thing is certain, he will not let Zhong Xinhuan suffer any harm.

At this time, the door of the state office in Qiongzhou was opened, and Zhong Xinhuan, dressed in black and white clothes, sat alone in the middle of the lobby. Seeing Song Jun coming in, his face did not change in the slightest, as if he had known it for a long time. After Song Jun rushed into the state office, he also felt a little strange, and unconsciously stood in front of the lobby.

Yang Yan said to Wu Xi: "Wu Tong, you take people to search everywhere in the state government to see if there are any other people, Wu Xi had some doubts in his heart, but he still agreed and took the soldiers to search everywhere." Only Yang Yan, Zhao Qianru, Tie Chenglin, and Gu Xuepingqiu were left with a few personal soldiers.

Zhao Qianru pulled Yang Yan at this time and said, "Is this girl the daughter of Zhong Ziang you said?" ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "It's her." ”

Zhao Qianru said: "You go to see her alone, let's wait outside first, and then we will go in when you say yes." ”

Yang Yan smiled bitterly, feeling that he could only do this first, so he walked into the court and said, "Xiaohuan ......" hesitated in his heart, should he tell Zhong Xinhuan about Zhong Ziang's death?

Zhong Xinhuan got up and said, "Brother Yang, we meet again." But there was no joy on his face.

Yang Yan didn't know what to say, so he had to say, "Yes, are you okay these times?" ”

Zhong Xinhuan came to Yang Yan and said, "Brother Yang, is my father dead with the scriptures?" ”

Yang Yan was stunned for a moment, and finally said, "Yes, the Zhong Sect Master died outside the city." ”
