Chapter 1181 Struggle
The dark abyss of the Ice Ridge Valley, like a wound in the earth, greedily devours all sounds of falling.
"No!"
Liu Yueli's scream tore through the dead silence on the cliff, a mixture of despair and blood, like the final death knell!
Her body crawled forward among the rubble and insect corpses, her fingers dug into the cold mud, and her nails broke!
The vision was completely blurred by the smoke and dust from the collapse of the cliff edge and the flying sparks!
It's over! Everything is over! Changbaishan and Kaligong fell into the abyss together!
Tolu Khan's true messenger was destroyed, along with all his evil schemes and secrets!
But Changbaishan… She stared intently at the impenetrable darkness below, where there was only the crashing of tumbling rubble and… an all-consuming silence! Could he still be alive?
Under the sting that pierced his shoulder bone and locked his chains? Under the force of the fall?
"Roar!"
Chu Ying’s roar was like the last roar of a dying beast!
The excruciating pain of his bloody struggles and the dizziness from his injuries hadn't yet subsided, and the stench of Changbai Mountain's poisonous blood still lingered in his mouth and nose! But the desperate sight of the cliffs and ravines swallowing his comrades before him was like a torch thrown into a dry well, igniting the last vestiges of rage in his bones!
Toru Khan's shadow guards also fell into a brief chaos!
The main messenger, Caligon, fell to his death! The target on the other end of the noose disappeared!
The smoke and dust raised by the collapsed cliff and the embers of burning wood blocked the view!
But the chaos lasted only a moment! The Shadow Guard Centurion's eyes froze instantly, their gaze passing over the collapsing smoke and dust, like a poisoned ice spike nailing into the crawling Liu Yueli and the struggling Chu Ying who was vomiting blood!
Even though the mastermind was dead, the same ironclad rule of exterminating all possible insiders and evidence was ingrained in his bones! He instantly raised the scimitar in his hand and issued a sharp, rapid-fire command in Torukhanese to attack!
Woo! A sharp sound of piercing the air suddenly rang out! The shadow guards drew their bows and arrows! More than one!
Several poisonous arrows with the same strange blue-green light, like blood-seeking poisonous bees, tore through the dust that had not yet dispersed, and went straight to Liu Yueli's back and Chu Ying's exposed neck!
At the same time, several dark shadow guards stepped over the burning corpses faster than arrows, and their sharp blades came rushing forward with the sound of cold death!
Liu Yueli felt the cold edge behind her in the exhaustion and despair on the cliff!
That was the breath of death! But she had no strength to dodge, as if all the bones in her body had been pulled out. She could only watch the arrow shadow grow larger. The only thought in her mind was: I failed to save him... and I also implicated Master Chu...
In the blink of an eye!
"Kill him for me!!!"
A thunderous roar, carrying the smell of iron and blood, swept from the back of the battlefield! It was not Chu Ying's voice!
It was the old soldier in the camp! The tough soldier named Zhao Tiezhu, who had been assigned by Chu Ying to guard the cremation site and had a hideous scar on his face!
He brought the remaining seven or eight soldiers who had barely managed to escape from the outer insect swarms and the Shadow Riders' attack. Covered in blood, they rushed out like Shuras crawling out of hell, roaring and charging from the ruins of the broken fence and the thick smoke of piled-up cremated corpses!
They had no fine armor, no sharp bows and crossbows, only broken spears and machetes that were burning red and stained with insect blood! Some were even just holding on to burnt wood!
But the crazy courage that was forced to explode by death and the grief and indignation of fallen comrades turned into a desperate storm!
"Bang bang bang!"
A few burning logs were used as javelins, and with the sound of whimpering wind, they were thrown recklessly at the oncoming shadow guards and the trajectory of the flying poisonous arrows! The accuracy was extremely poor!
But the huge burning object flying in the narrow space instantly disrupted the poison arrow's lock!
A poisonous arrow was knocked off balance by the burning wood and pierced into the soil right next to the end of Liu Yueli's hair!
A soldier who was rushing forward blocked the attack with his flesh and blood. The blue arrow pierced his shoulder blade. The soldier groaned, but roared and rushed forward with his sword even more frantically!
Chaos! Complete chaos erupted on the edge of the cliff!
Zhao Tiezhu, the old soldier with a scar, led a few ragged soldiers who were as fierce as mad tigers. They rushed towards the well-trained and ruthless shadow guards without any rules, even rolling their bodies!
Hit with bones! Bite with teeth! Lock the enemy's blade-wielding hand with your arms!
Each attack was carried with the determination to die together! They didn't want to win, but simply to use their last breath, this pile of flesh and blood, to block the Shadow Guard's steps and buy their general a chance!
"Hey!"
Chu Ying's thrown steel knife fiercely chopped into the gap of a shadow guard's shoulder armor! Although it was not fatal, it blocked his scimitar that was stabbing at Liu Yueli!
"stand up!!!"
Chu Ying's eyes were bloodshot, and he took advantage of this fleeting moment of respite! He completely ignored the dirty blood and yellow bile pouring out of his mouth and nose. His huge palm was like an iron clamp, grabbing Liu Yueli's almost limp arm, and dragged her weightless body back several feet from the edge of the cliff like a sandbag!
At the same time, he pushed hard on the ground with his other intact hand, and his huge but weak body bounced up forcefully, staggering in front of Liu Yueli. His bloodshot eyes were like a wounded lion, staring at the last shadow guard who broke through the soldiers' blockade and approached!
All he had in his hand was half a burning piece of insect corpse wood!
at this time!
BANG!!! Crash!
There was a dull, heart-stopping thud, followed by the distinct sound of water splashing!
The sound didn't come from the scuffle at the edge of the cliff! It came from below! From the thick, indissoluble, all-consuming abyss of the Ice Ridge Valley!
Everyone was startled by the sudden sound that erupted from the depths of deathly silence and froze in their tracks!
Even someone as fearless as the Shadow Guard Centurion, his blade-holding hand paused slightly, a hint of surprise and doubt flashed across his cloudy eyes!
The depths of the Ice Ridge Valley are not as steep as imagined!
Beneath the rolling, pervasive cold fog that lingers all year round, there is a series of narrow pools several feet deep, like stairs, formed by years of erosion by cold mountain waterfalls!
The cold air condensed into white ice crystals visible to the naked eye and floated on the surface of the pool!
Chang Baishan and Kaligon were entangled in their falling figures. Before hitting the water at high speed, Kaligon's broken leg bone hit the cold rock protruding from the water!
Click! ! !
The teeth-grinding sound of comminuted fractures echoed throughout the valley!
Caligon couldn't even let out a final scream; the intense pain and shock had completely robbed him of consciousness! The force of the drag suddenly decreased!
Changbaishan followed closely behind! The barbed noose that pierced through the shoulders and back and buckled the bones became the most deadly buffer chain at this moment!
The moment it hit the water, the immense force of the impact caused the tough noose to tighten violently! The barbs that had pierced the flesh were violently pulled back by this force!
Puff! Chila!
Heart-wrenching pain!
The tail end of the spike that pierced into Caligon's back was dragged out of Caligon's body with Chang Baishan's shattered shoulder blade and the connected flesh and fascia by the huge force caused by its own falling momentum and the impact of the pool water!
Like tearing a rag bag!
