“Gents, the heroes,” in a loud and clear voice Zhang Wuji mentioned, “At this time is the day we, the Han males, kill the enemy to serve our nation. The identify of the Nice Meeting of Shaolin Temple will go down the historical past for 1000’s of years!”

The Nice Corridor shook with the deafening cheers of the individuals.

Zhang Wuji continued, “We won’t return now even when we need to. I’m asking Kong Wen Fangzhang to present us the order. We, the Ming Cult, from prime to backside will observe with all our hearts.”

“Zhang Jiaozhu, what are you speaking about?” Kong Wen mentioned, “Though our humble Sect’s monks have realized a little bit bit punching and kicking, we all know nothing about marching within the military and going to struggle. Within the final a number of years the Ming Cult has initiated such a fantastic enterprise; who within the Jianghu has not heard about it? Solely the Ming Cult has the assets to struggle Tatars’ massive military. We nominate Zhang Jiaozhu to carry the commander place and lead the heroes from everywhere in the world to struggle the Tatars.”

Zhang Wuji tried to say no modestly, however the crowd of heroes had already cheered loudly. It was true that Zhang Wuji was younger and inexperienced, however his martial artwork talent was robust. His energy in preventing the three Shaolin monks had been witnessed by all people current. As well as, the success of Han Shantong, Xu Shouhui, Zhu Yuanzhang and the opposite Ming Cult generals in staging rebellions, attacking cities and capturing territories in such locations as Huai Si River, Hunan and Hubei, and different areas had shaken the world. Earlier, the individuals had additionally seen the 5-Component Flags displaying their full capabilities within the area. No different college or sect possessed these sorts of expertise. The soldiers from numerous sects and clans all agreed that no person else match to take such an enormous duty aside from the Ming Cult.

Zhang Wuji mentioned, “I [orig. zai4xia4] have by no means realized the way to handle troopers. Please elect different succesful individual to be in cost.”

Whereas he was nonetheless declining modestly, from the foot of the mountain got here the rumbling noise of individuals shouting and preventing. Two Shaolin monks rushed into the Corridor and reported, “Reporting to Fangzhang: the Mongolian military has attacked our mountain.”

Zhang Wuji mentioned, “Rui Jin, Hong Shui, two Flags, are going to be the primary to have interaction the enemy. Mr. Zhou Dian, Tie Guan Daozhang [Priest Tie Guan (‘hard hat’)], you might be to help these two flags.” Zhou Dian and Priest Tie Guan complied and shortly left.

The state of affairs this time was so pressing that it didn’t enable Zhang Wuji to say no anymore. He had no selection however concern his orders: “Shuo Bude Shifu, please take my Sheng Huo Ling and go to our Cult’s encampments within the surrounding space. Inform them to go up the mountain to lend their help.” Shou Bude took the pill and left.

As the gang of heroes within the Nice Corridor heard concerning the Yuan’s military arrival to destroy them, they drew their weapons and rushed out.

“Jiaozhu,” in a low voice Yang Xiao mentioned, “When you do not take command, these individuals will struggle randomly, and they’ll actually be defeated.”

Zhang Wuji nodded and ran out the Corridor. He went to the pavilion midway down the mountain and noticed 1000’s of the Mongolian vanguard troops had arrived on the waist of the mountain. The Rui Jin Flag drove them again down by a salvo of arrows and javelins.

So far as eyes might see, the Mongolian troops had been creeping up; their energy appeared so intimidating. Though their status was far under Genghis Khan’s military, whose energy overawed overseas lands, the Mongolian cavalry, in spite of everything, was very nicely skilled and was nonetheless holding their fame as unmatched elite troops.

Immediately from the left got here loud shouts as a lot of nuns, women and men ran up the mountain. They had been the Emei Pai contingent, which was on their method down the mountain once they met the Mongolian military and was pushed again up. A couple of dozen or so males had been carrying stretchers and different issues. They had been surrounded by the Mongolian troopers.

Main Jing Xuan, Jing Zhao, and several other different senior disciples, Zhou Zhiruo charged and killed the enemy. However though they’d killed dozens of Mongolian officers and troopers, they nonetheless couldn’t penetrate the enemy’s siege and save their fellow disciples.

“Not good!” Zhang Wuji groaned inwardly, “One of many stretchers have to be carrying Tune Shige!”

“Hong Shui, Lie Huo, two flags, cowl us!” he shouted, “Fan and Yang two Emissaries, Wei Xiong [brother Wei], observe me to avoid wasting individuals!” He jumped and rushed down.

Two Mongolian troopers thrust their lances straight towards him. With one hand Zhang Wuji grabbed one lance; exerting his energy he shook the lance and the 2 Yuan troopers had been thrown down the mountain. He turned the lance over and like a pair of dragons diving into the ocean, the pair of lances plunged into the gang.

Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, Wei Yixiao, Peng Yingyu, and the others adopted. The Mongolian troopers scattered and a passageway has opened behind Zhou Zhiruo’s group.

Fan Yao threw a punch, crushing the face of a Yuan military’s Shi Fu Zhang [leader of a ten-man unit]. He then snatched the individual on the stretcher and rotated to depart.

Zhang Wuji noticed that Zhou Zhiruo’s physique and face had been lined in blood; he charged again into the Yuan troopers’ encirclement. “Zhiruo, Zhiruo!” he known as out, “Tune Dage is saved!”

Zhou Zhiruo didn’t pay him any consideration; she stored wielding her whip and charged forward, however the mountain pathway was too slender. Furthermore, it was crammed filled with troopers in order that after some time she couldn’t cost wherever anymore. Zhang Wuji noticed two extra Emei disciples carrying one other stretcher had been being caught up within the encirclement; they had been brandishing their swords in a determined wrestle in opposition to the Yuan military.

“Appears to be like like Tune Shige is on that stretcher,” Zhang Wuji thought. Dodging an assault, he jumped into the encirclement. He pulled two spears, which hit the rock wall and caught, after which shifting his fingers and toes, he used the spears as stilts. When he was nonetheless a little bit greater than a ‘zhang’ away, he noticed the 2 Emei disciples had been hit one after one other by a saber and an arrow. They fell and each disciple and the stretcher rolled down the mountain. Zhang Wuji flew in; with the spear in his left hand he stopped the stretcher. He noticed the individual on the stretcher was wrapped in plain material from head to toe; solely the face was uncovered. It was certainly Tune Qingshu.

Zhang Wuji threw the spears and carried Tune Qingshu horizontally in his arms. He was stunned to really feel Tune Qingshu was exceptionally heavy. Apparently, there was a tough and stiff object contained in the plain material wrap. Zhang Wuji didn’t have time to consider it, he was afraid that every one this twisting and turning would break Tune Qingshu’s cranium. Dodging to the left and evading to the proper, he tried to keep away from the rain of sabers and spears of the Yuan cavalry, whereas preserving his steps exceptionally easy and secure.

Tang Wenliang and Zong Weixia of Kongtong Pai charged collectively, defending Zhang Wuji on both aspect. Their pair of swords stabbed and blocked, the Yuan troops fell one after the other beneath their swords. Carrying Tune Qingshu in his arms, Zhang Wuji made a gradual progress going up the mountain. A number of tons of of Yuan troopers organized themselves in formation.

“Lie Huo Flag, transfer to motion!” Peng Yingyu known as out.

The Lie Huo Flag males spurted oil from their spray weapons, adopted by taking pictures the rockets one after the other. Raging flames rolled in waves, burning greater than 200 Yuan troopers. Their burning our bodies rolled down the mountain like balls of fireside.
