The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer were well aware of the difficulty of the upcoming battle. After a brief thought, they both saluted to Duan Tianyang and said, "Brother Tian, ​​we'll take our leave first." Then they left the room.

Afterwards, Gu Jianhong walked in and saw Duan Tianyang holding a candlestick, standing in front of the table and carefully studying the defense map of the Qinba tribe.

He asked with concern: "Sir, you have been traveling for several days in a row, why don't you take a rest?"

Duan Tianyang did not raise his head and whispered: "There are some places that I always feel are not well arranged."

Gu Jianhong stepped forward, examined the blueprint, and pointed out: "The first and second lines of defense are not actually decisive. At most, they can only slow down the enemy's advance. No matter how we improve them, it is in vain. The real line of defense is at the top of the mountain. That is our last line of defense."

Duan Tianyang nodded as he listened, with a thoughtful gleam in his eyes.

Gu Jianhong suddenly thought of something and said seriously, "Sir, tomorrow morning, we must get the people from Chenji Grain Store to evacuate this place."

Duan Tianyang nodded in agreement, then raised his head and looked at Gu Jianhong curiously: "Brother Gu, do you think there is something wrong with them?"

After thinking deeply, Gu Jianhong shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Although I haven't noticed anything unusual yet, the war is approaching, so it's always better to nip it in the bud. If they are spies sent by the Jin Kingdom, leaving them on the mountain would be like hanging a knife on our necks, right?"

After hearing this, Duan Tianyang couldn't help but smile. Gu Jianhong was indeed a meticulous person.

He smiled and asked, "Brother Gu, what position do you hold in Linghua Palace?"

Gu Jianhong responded: "I am the guardian of Linghua Palace."

Duan Tianyang nodded to show that he understood, and then changed the subject: "Brother Gu, do you know where the Jin army is currently marching to?"

Gu Jianhong replied solemnly: "Based on the speed of the Jin army's march, they will reach the Qinba tribe in two days."

Duan Tianyang looked serious after hearing this: "So, we only have two days to prepare?"

Gu Jianhong nodded in confirmation and added: "Among the three corps sent by the Jin army this time, there is a martial arts team with a distinguished record called Shura. They are very likely to come with the army. The Shura team has always been a solitary team, and perhaps they have already arrived at the Qinba tribe."

Duan Tianyang asked: "How many people are there in the Shura team?"

Gu Jianhong said frankly: "I don't know the exact number, but I can be sure that everyone in the Shura team is a martial arts expert."

Duan Tianyang sighed: "It seems that the battle with the Jin army has quietly begun..."

He didn't think much about it, but he didn't expect that this sentence would become a prophecy.

That night, Duan Tianyang had fallen asleep when he was suddenly awakened by a loud noise.

He got up in a hurry, opened the window, and saw a fire in the distance, blazing...

The direction where the fire pointed was exactly the direction of the granary. His heart tightened and he couldn't help but blurt out: "It's over!"

Then he quickly put on his shoes, put on his coat, and rushed out of the room like a whirlwind.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer rushing out of their respective wooden houses. They ran towards him nervously and said in unison: "Brother Tian, ​​something happened..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier with a black face came running over and reported breathlessly: "Sir, the granary was attacked and the fire is fierce!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Tianyang and the other two's expressions instantly became solemn.

They knew very well that food was the lifeline of the army. Once the granary was lost, the entire army would be in dire straits.

So Duan Tianyang rushed to the granary without hesitation.

However, just as he was about to take a step forward, the soldier's right arm suddenly trembled, and a dagger flashing with blue light slipped out of his sleeve. He held the dagger tightly and stabbed Duan Tianyang silently...

Without any warning, there was a "dong" sound, and the dagger had already stabbed Duan Tianyang's ribs...

At this moment, he was not covered with armor, and his flesh and blood body alone was obviously unable to withstand the cold blade.

However, when the tip of the dagger pierced through the clothes and touched the inside, it encountered unexpected resistance. No matter how hard the soldier tried, he could not go deeper even half an inch.

Duan Tianyang was stunned by the scene before him, and Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer were also dumbfounded.

It was as if time had stopped for a moment, and then Lu Jingyuan's face suddenly changed, and he cried out in shock: "Brother Tian, ​​he is an assassin!"

Seeing that his attack was futile, the soldier quickly changed his tactics, holding the dagger upside down, and slashed towards Duan Tianyang's neck.

Duan Tianyang reacted quickly, raised his hand and grabbed the blade that was flashing blue light.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that his palm was tightly wrapped in a layer of shiny silver metal.

He stepped closer to the soldier and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

In fact, the soft armor he was wearing was transformed from the Ring of All Things.

For a long time, he had been accustomed to turning the All-Seeing Ring into soft armor to protect himself. It was this habit that saved his life at the critical moment.

The soldier's face changed drastically and he ignored Duan Tianyang's question.

He tried to pull out the dagger with all his strength, but Duan Tianyang's hand was as hard as an iron clamp, and no matter how hard he tried, the dagger did not move at all.

So the soldier decisively let go of the dagger and kicked Duan Tianyang in the face.

Duan Tianyang reacted quickly and raised his other hand to block the attack.

With a "pop" sound, the soldier's foot was bounced back by Duan Tianyang's palm, and he flew backwards more than two meters.

There was no need for Duan Tianyang to chase them, Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer had already rushed towards the soldiers like arrows on a bow.

Duan Tianyang shouted loudly: "Leave him alive!"

He could sense that there was no imposing aura emanating from this soldier, and he was obviously not a martial artist.

Facing the approach of Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer, the soldier showed no fear and laughed wildly: "When our Jin army arrives, you will die without a burial place!"

Then, his laughter suddenly stopped. He bit his back teeth hard, black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and then he staggered and finally fell on his back.

By the time Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer arrived, the soldier's face was already covered in a dark purple-blue color, showing signs of a deadly poison invading his heart.

Lu Jingyuan walked quickly forward, bent down to check the soldier's breath, but there was no breath left.

After a while, he turned to look at Duan Tianyang and shook his head helplessly.

Duan Tianyang's face was as gloomy as water, and a layer of white mist suddenly rose around his body, condensing into a solid suit of armor in an instant.

He lowered his eyes to examine the dagger in his hand. A faint blue cold light flashed on the blade, which was obviously the sign of being tempered with a deadly poison.

Duan Tianyang angrily threw the dagger aside, then took a big step and rushed straight to the place where the fire was the brightest.

Seeing this, Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer did not dare to delay for a moment and hurriedly followed.

When they arrived at the granary, the fire there was already like a runaway horse, with raging flames shooting up into the sky. Countless soldiers held wooden buckets and tried their best to pour water on the fire, but the effect was minimal. Those few drops of water were like a drop in the ocean in front of the raging fire, and they could not stop the spread of the fire at all.
