Chapter 51: The Great Battle Between Song and Liao(1)
After Peng Feng emerged from his seclusion.
He rode that thin horse.
And headed towards a nearby town.
He had been in seclusion in the mountains for over a month, without a single good meal, and without drinking alcohol for over a month as well, so he was feeling a bit thirsty for a drink.
After walking dozens of miles, he arrived at a town.
He sat down at a tavern in the town.
The tavern was very run-down.
But, as long as there was wine, it didn’t matter.
“Shopkeeper, bring me a catty of wine, and fill this wine gourd for me, and also, what good dishes do you have here? Bring me four or five.”
“Alright!” The tavern’s shopkeeper immediately agreed.
After a while, the wine and dishes were brought to the table.
While drinking his wine, Peng Feng listened to the people nearby talking, and realized that something was wrong.
A yellow-robed man with a sword on his back at the next table said, “The Liao Kingdom is now using all its national strength to attack the Song Kingdom!”
What?
Peng Feng immediately flashed in front of the man who had spoken: “What did you say? The Liao Kingdom is using all its national strength to attack the Song Kingdom?”
The yellow-robed man with the sword was startled: “It seems that your information isn’t very up-to-date. That’s right, the Liao Kingdom’s six Land Immortals are leading an army of 500,000, and they’ve already attacked. No one can stop them along the way, and it looks like they’re about to reach Kaifeng City.”
Peng Feng was shocked.
As a Land Immortal and one of the Song Kingdom’s high-ranking officials, he also knew.
The Zhao Imperial Family had always possessed the Investiture of the Gods Relic, the Ten Thousand Crows Pot, which was why the Liao Kingdom had not invaded before.
For the Liao Kingdom to invade on such a large scale, it must have found a way to deal with the Ten Thousand Crows Pot.
He immediately finished his meal as quickly as possible.
Then, he rode his horse and galloped towards Kaifeng City.
At this time.
He was in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
He was still a full two thousand kilometers away from Kaifeng City.
He dared not use his internal energy to travel, fearing that he would consume too much internal energy, and his condition would be poor when he arrived.
He could only use the method of changing horses.
He would ride a horse for a few hours, and when he reached the next town, he would immediately spend money to buy another good horse.
This way, he could gallop several hundred kilometers a day.
Of course, even if he was traveling as fast as possible.
Traveling a thousand miles a day.
At the very least, it would still take four or five days to reach Kaifeng City.
Hopefully, Kaifeng City can hold on for four or five days.
“Giddy up!”
“Giddy up!”
Peng Feng galloped with all his might.
◈◈◈
Four days later.
Kaifeng City.
The Liao Kingdom’s six Land Immortals had already led an army of 500,000 Liao soldiers, filled with killing intent, and had arrived outside Kaifeng City.
And all the city gates of Kaifeng City, large and small, were tightly closed.
The Song Kingdom’s four Land Immortals, as well as the 400,000 defending soldiers who had temporarily gathered, were all guarding the city walls and in positions where they could provide support at any time.
There were nearly a million soldiers inside and outside Kaifeng City.
The sky above Kaifeng City was covered with dark clouds.
Similarly, it was also filled with the clouds of war.
While the two sides were confronting each other.
A war general charged out from the Liao army.
This war general was a fair-skinned and beautiful young woman with astonishingly long legs, wearing silver armor. She was none other than the Vermilion Bird Shangren Xiao Susu, the third-ranked Land Immortal of the Liao Kingdom.
Xiao Susu rode on her horse: “People of the Song Kingdom, don’t be cowards, is there anyone who dares to fight me?”
Although Vermilion Bird Shangren Xiao Susu was a woman, she could not be treated as an ordinary woman. She was the third-ranked Land Immortal of the Liao Kingdom, and it was said that she had already reached the sixth level of the Land Immortal Realm.
Her strength was simply terrifying.
If Peng Feng were here, Peng Feng could kill Li Ganshun, who was at the fifth level of the Land Immortal Realm, so it would not be a problem for him to deal with Xiao Susu.
But Peng Feng was not here.
◈◈◈
And the four Land Immortals of the Song Kingdom in Kaifeng City.
Emperor Huizong of Song Zhao Ji was the number one expert of the Song Kingdom, and could not easily make a move.
Tong Guan was at the third level of the Land Immortal Realm, and going up would be humiliating himself.
State Preceptor Lin Lingsu was at the fourth level of the Land Immortal Realm, and with a difference of two small realms, he had no confidence that he could win.
In the end, it was Zhong Shidao, the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty, who stood up: “Then I, this marshal, will fight you.”
This battle.
Was between the Liao Kingdom’s third-ranked Vermilion Bird Shangren Xiao Susu.
And Song Kingdom’s original second, and current third-ranked, Zhong Shidao.
Vermilion Bird Shangren Xiao Susu chuckled: “Zhong Shidao? I have also long admired your name, but we have never fought. Today is a good day to try our skills.”
After saying that!
Behind Vermilion Bird Shangren Xiao Susu, a huge fire bird figure suddenly appeared, this was the phantom of the Vermilion Bird.
And the surrounding temperature rose rapidly, rising to tens of thousands of degrees in a short time, and this was only the residual heat.
Vermilion Bird Shangren Xiao Susu directly blasted out two fire pillars, the temperature of these two fire pillars could reach as high as 30,000 degrees, this was the temperature to melt metal and iron!!!
It was extremely terrifying!
At this moment!
Vermilion Bird Shangren Xiao Susu was standing in the void dozens of meters above the ground, but the ground was also drying up and cracking.
Zhong Shidao also felt the heat coming at him.
He also knew that in terms of realm, he was only at the fifth level of the Land Immortal Realm, which was weaker than Xiao Susu.
In a normal duel, he should not be a match for Xiao Susu.
But!
The two words that Zhong Shidao was best at were——fighting with his life.
He directly did not block the two 30,000-degree high-temperature flame pillars, but directly transformed into a ten-meter giant, and directly blasted a heavy punch towards Vermilion Bird Shangren Xiao Susu’s chest.
At this time.
Although Xiao Susu could use the flame pillars to severely injure Zhong Shidao.
However, she would also be hit by Zhong Shidao’s heavy punch, and would definitely be seriously injured.
Vermilion Bird Shangren Xiao Susu did not want to fight Zhong Shidao with her life, she was a person who cherished her life very much, so she had no choice but to retract the two flame pillars, dodge to the side, and launch the next round of attacks.
However, Zhong Shidao still did not block Xiao Susu’s attacks, and was also trying to fight Xiao Susu with his life.
Zhong Shidao’s fighting style was——I can give you my life, but do you dare to give me yours?
This made it so that even though he was clearly one small realm behind.
But!
The two’s fight was always a tie.
The two exchanged blows for dozens of moves.
Vermilion Bird Shangren Xiao Susu was also angered, and the flame pillars directly burned towards Zhong Shidao, but Zhong Shidao still did not block.
Finally!
The 30,000-degree high-temperature flame pillars ignited Zhong Shidao’s entire body.
However, Zhong Shidao’s two heavy punches also directly hit Vermilion Bird Shangren Xiao Susu’s chest, directly blasting her chest, and breaking her ribs.
Vermilion Bird Shangren Xiao Susu’s brain was almost deprived of oxygen, she had never fought anyone like this, how could there be such a rogue fighting style?
She retreated while enduring the severe pain.
However, Zhong Shidao continued to pursue.
No matter how Xiao Susu counterattacked, he would not block, allowing Xiao Susu’s attacks to hit him.
Of course, he also repeatedly smashed his heavy fists on Xiao Susu’s body.
He just wanted to fight Xiao Susu with his life.
In the end.
Bang!
Xiao Susu was beaten until her whole body was fractured in multiple places, covered in blood, unable to even stand, and collapsed on the ground, vomiting blood.
And although Zhong Shidao’s whole body was burned to ashes, many places were burned into charcoal, and his injuries were definitely more severe than Xiao Susu’s, he was still standing proudly, swaying.
“Xiao Susu, you are very strong, your realm is one small realm stronger than mine. But I am better at fighting with my life.” Zhong Shidao spat out a mouthful of black blood from his charred tongue.
“No matter who it is, if you want to invade my Great Song, you will have to step over my corpse.”
At this moment!
The figure of this old man, Zhong Shidao, was infinitely tall and great.
