On the opposite facet, the Hong Shui Flag’s hoses belched out toxic water, spraying a number of hundred Yuan troops. The useless and the injured scattered on the mountainside. The Yuan military’s Wan Fu Zhang [leader of ten-thousand-man unit] ordered his troops to retreat. The entrance finish of the formation turned into the rear. Taking pictures the arrows to forestall the enemy from pursuing, the military drew again slowly.
Peng Yingyu sighed and stated, “Though they’re defeated, the Tatars military doesn’t get chaotic. They’re really world caliber elite troops.”
The Yuan military withdrew to the bottom of the mountain, after which unfold out in a fan-shaped formation. It appeared they weren’t going to assault once more, a minimum of in the meanwhile.
Zhang Wuji issued his order, “Rui Jin, Hong Shui and Lie Huo, three flags to defend the foremost street going up the mountain. Ju Mu and Hou Tu, two flags to rapidly lower lumber and assemble obstacles to protect towards the enemy assault.”
All of the 5-Factor Flags leaders accepted the order in a single voice, after which went separate methods to steer their individuals laying out a protection.
Beforehand, the group of heroes thought that though they won’t be capable of fully kill Tatars troops, defending themselves definitely wouldn’t be too tough, wouldn’t it? Nevertheless, within the battle simply now they skilled the ability of the Yuan military first hand. Now they realized that large-scale battle was considerably totally different than combating one-on-one in a martial artwork competitors. With hundreds upon hundreds troopers surging in like a tide of individuals, even somebody excelled in martial artwork like Zhou Zhiruo wouldn’t have the chance to unleash her full potential. In a forest of sabers, spears, swords and lances, the place all people was chopping and killing all people else, the talent they realized in regular time, be it weaponry or naked fist naked foot, inside or exterior power, every part misplaced its usefulness. If the Ming Cult’s 5 Factor Flags didn’t use troops formation to struggle troops formation, at this second there could be wretched mourning on the Shaoshi Peak; whereas the Shaolin Temple would flip into charred rubble below the raging hearth.
Really, Shaolin monks have been additionally following some form of self-discipline. They have been divided into groups of youthful monks, armed with monk staves and sabers, below the management of extra senior monks. These groups unfold out throughout the Temple to protect all strategic areas. Nevertheless, their quantity was just too small; it was unattainable for them to face up to the assault of twenty-thousand Mongolian elite troops.
The gang of heroes broke into dialogue with each other as they noticed Yuan military retreat. Now they understood why the earlier dynasty, which was defended by a lot of heroes and warriors with superior martial artwork talent, was nonetheless unable to forestall their ‘river and mountain’ [‘jiang shan’ – country] from falling into the Tatars’ arms.
Zhang Wuji gently positioned Music Qingshu on the ground and appeared for his breath. Fortunately, he was nonetheless respiratory. Turning his head, he needed to speak to Zhou Zhiruo, however he didn’t see her anyplace.
“The place is Mrs. Music?” he requested. However all people was busy combating the Yuan power; no one paid any consideration to the place Zhou Zhiruo was going. By this time, Emei Pai disciples’ hostility towards the Ming Cult had been lowered considerably, but in addition they stated that they’d not seen their Sect Chief.
Zhang Wuji was afraid that Music Qingshu’s damage had worsened within the confusion of the battle simply now; he determined to take off the wrapping on Music Qingshu’s physique and look at him rigorously.
There have been three layers of wrapping material on Music Qingshu’s physique. By the point Zhang Wuji had loosened the second layer, ‘clang, clang, clang,’ 4 items of damaged weapon fell down. Zhang Wuji was startled. “Tulong Saber, Yitian Sword!” he known as out.
One after one other the group of heroes got here close to and stood round him. They noticed the blades of each the Tulong Saber and the Yitian Sword have been damaged into two elements every. Zhang Wuji picked the half Tulong Saber, which nonetheless felt moderately heavy in his hand. At that second, all kinds of feeling welled up in his coronary heart. He remembered his personal mother and father misplaced their lives due to this Saber. For the final twenty years or so the Jianghu was in steady bother, all due to this Saber. The first intention of the group of heroes gathered in Shaolin was additionally for this treasured saber. He couldn’t think about that this Saber instantly reappeared damaged and become a ineffective factor.
As he lifted the Saber nearer, he observed that the damaged half was hole; massive sufficient to hide one thing. The Yitian Sword was additionally hole. Nevertheless, each holes have been empty. Somebody will need to have taken no matter object that was beforehand hidden inside.
Yang Xiao sighed, “Turned out Miss Zhou’s astounding martial artwork talent got here from these Saber and Sword.”
Trying on the look of the damaged sections of the Saber and the Sword, Zhang Wuji instantly realized that when the Saber and the Sword went lacking on that little island, they have been taken by Zhou Zhiruo. One way or the other she managed to banish Zhao Min, kill Yin Li, and strike the Saber and the Sword to one another, and thus two sharpest weapons on this planet gave up and broke. She then took the hid secret martial artwork handbook and educated surreptitiously.
“That is proper,” he thought. The extra Zhang Wuji thought, his thoughts grew clearer, “On that island, after I tried to make use of the Jiu Yang Shen Gong to drive the poison out from her physique, I felt a wierd inside power vaguely resisting my power. Later, this unusual power grew stronger. Clearly her inside power cultivation has made some development. Ay! Due to her impatience to get a fast consequence, she didn’t domesticate a powerful inside power basis, however took a shortcut by coaching a ruthless and evil martial artwork talent. In the long run, she won’t be able to succeed in the perfection of the martial artwork research. She had defeated Yu Er Bo and Yin Liu Shu, but it surely was as a result of she was counting on unusual strikes, thus gaining the benefit of shock, identical to after I was defeated below the Central Cult’s Wind and Cloud, three Emissaries’ arms previously. Zhiruo’s actual talent remains to be far inferior to Yu and Yin, two uncles. In the event that they struggle once more sooner or later, she will definitely die below the arms of Wudang Heroes …”
When he was nonetheless deep in thought, the Rui Jin Flag Chief, Wu Jingcao stepped ahead and stated, “Reporting to Jiaozhu: your subordinate got here from a blacksmith household. I’ve realized methods to forge metallic into saber and sword. Let subordinate give it a strive. Maybe I can repair these treasured Saber and Sword.”
Yang Xiao was delighted. “Wu Qishi’s [flag leader Wu] talent as a swordsmith is unparalleled on this planet. Jiaozhu, there isn’t any hurt in letting him strive.”
Zhang Wuji nodded. “It’s certainly a pity that these sharp weapons are damaged like this. Wu Qishi, you would possibly as effectively give it a strive.”
Wu Jingcao turned towards the Lie Huo Flag Chief, Xin Ran, and stated, “An important ingredient in sword making is the fireplace. I’ll want Xin Xiong’s wholehearted help. From the look of it, the Tatars is not going to going to assault the mountain for some time; what do you say we two brothers begin working collectively rightaway?”
Xin Ran stated with amusing, “Making hearth is definitely Xiongdi’s [brother, general term] experience.”
Thereupon the 2 of them ordered their subordinates to construct a blast furnace, with a gap not multiple foot huge. Laying bricks, Wu Jingcao firmly clamped the highest part of the Tulong Saber contained in the furnace with the damaged finish towards the fireplace. There have been every kind of gas and flammable supplies within the Lie Huo Flag that immediately the furnace was blazing sizzling with raging hearth.
