Qi Heng's cultivation was deep, and the spirit energy he released was not something ordinary either. At that moment, the Spirit Blade s that filled the sky shattered the branches and branches above his head.
The man in black, who was hiding on the tree, thought to himself. He didn't dare to take the risk and jumped to the side.
Crash! * When he turned around to look, he saw that the shattered leaves and sawdust were falling down from the sky, blocking Qi Heng's line of sight. Realizing that the opportunity had come, he raised the spirit sword that was flashing with multicolored light in his hand and aimed at Qi Heng, releasing the Cross-shaped Slash.
Actually, he did not need to fight with Qi Heng, as long as he could hold him back for a while. However, as a Spiritual Martial Expert, he had the courage to not admit defeat.
The black-clothed man's cross slash was like lightning towards Qi Heng. He regretted using this killing move. What if he really hurt Qi Heng, then how would he explain himself?
He was still thinking about this when suddenly, a blinding light appeared in the leaves and wood splinters in front of him. Before he could clearly see what had happened, the Cross Cut he released had already been shattered.
The black-clothed man's expression changed. Without any time to think, he bent down and rolled his body to the side.
The Spirit Blade flew past his spirit armor and left more than ten scratches on it. If he was even half a step late, he would have been smashed into meat by the spirit armor that Qi Heng had released.
Qi Heng truly lived up to his name. Even if he was in front of the four great generals, he would probably be the one to take the blame! The difference in strength between the two sides was too great, so much so that the black-clothed man lost the desire to continue fighting. He let out a long whistle, and immediately after, he retreated, disappearing into the forest.
The moment he retreated, his companion who had been knocked back also retreated. When Qi Heng rushed out from the messy leaves and wood shavings, the two men in black had already disappeared without a trace.
He sneered and cursed in a low voice, "A scoundrel is indeed a scoundrel. He can't make a move, but he runs so fast!"
He turned around and shouted, "Brothers, follow me. This marshal will reward anyone who captures a bandit!"
"Yes sir!" Qi Heng was brave and fierce, and the morale of the soldiers below naturally rose as well. The people responded in unison and followed Qi Heng, charging towards the center of the forest.
Meng Tian and his four hanger-ons were currently engaged in a fierce battle with a few black-clothed men, while Meng Luo, who was hugging a head that was badly mutilated, was curled up in a corner, as he cried in tears.
Qi Heng grinned when he saw this. It was better to have come early than to have done well. If he did not capture the kidnapper now, how long would he have to wait? He shouted to the left and right, "Surround this place! No one is allowed to escape!"
"Yes sir!" The five thousand Heavy Cavalry s were divided into two parts, and were separated into two groups, surrounding the two sides of the open ground.
The people in black did not ignore the arrival of Qi Heng and his army. The leader of the men in black let out a long whistle, calling out to his companions, speeding up his offense, and ending the battle quickly.
Very quickly, the situation on the scene changed. Under the attacks of the black-clothed men, Meng Tian and the four hanger-ons who were struggling to hold on immediately revealed their defeat, especially Meng Tian, who could only resist under the attacks of the opponents, unable to retaliate at all.
Just as he was complaining in secret and planning to retreat and avoid the sharp edge of the light, a streak of lightning suddenly flashed from the forest and struck between his eyebrows.
Meng Tian's expression changed, and he subconsciously swung his sword to block. With a clanging sound in his ear, a Spirit Arrow spun in the air and then fell to the ground.
Not good! There were still Spirit Arrow Bowman in the forest! But just as he was distracted, the black clothed man in front of him had already stabbed him seven times. Meng Tian immediately calmed himself down and acted carefully. He used all his strength, but he was only able to take the first five strikes. The following two strikes, he first cut open the spirit armor on his shoulder, and then his arm was cut open, almost cutting off his arm.
Meng Tian cried out in pain as he instinctively retreated. At this time, he suddenly heard someone shout from behind him, "General Meng, be careful ? ?"
Before he could figure out what was going on, another cold arrow came from his side. This time, Meng Tian was unable to dodge.
By the time he realized that the situation wasn't good, the Spirit Arrow had already arrived in front of him. The arrow pierced his neck from the left neck, while the Spirit Arrow shot out from the right neck, piercing straight through his neck.
Meng Tian opened his mouth wide, but could not even make a sound, all the energy in his body seemed to have been sucked dry, he stood there, unable to move.
The black clad man took a few steps forward, the spirit sword in his hand drawing a beautiful electric arc in the air, flying straight in front of Meng Tian.
This was the last scene he saw. The long streak of lightning dazzled him and made him feel dizzy.
Crack! Following the clear and melodious breaking sound, the black clothed man cut Meng Tian's head off with his sword. Immediately after, he did not stop and shouted in every direction: "Retreat!"
Just as the Heavy Cavalry was about to complete its encirclement, a few black-clothed men entered the dense forest. The sky was dark, and it was impossible to see their fingers in the forest.
This scene caused Qi Heng to be completely dumbfounded. The situation on the stage changed too quickly, catching people off guard. Meng Tian was almost killed in a row in front of him, he did not even have the chance to save Meng Tian.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Qi Heng was stunned. It was only when Meng Luo screamed miserably like a pig being butchered and crawled frantically towards Meng Tian's corpse that he finally came back to his senses.2
In an instant, Qi Heng's eyebrows raised up. The kidnappers had already given up on killing Meng Tian, and had decided to kill Meng Tian right before his eyes. These kidnappers were clearly trying to embarrass him on purpose, giving him a great disgrace and humiliation!
Damn scoundrels, you're bullying me too much. Let's see where you can run to!" "Aaaahh!" Qi Heng was so angry that his head was spinning as he ran in the direction of the man in black.
If he calmed down and thought about it, it would not be hard to find that these men in black were too well-trained. Moreover, each of them had a complete set of spiritual Martial Spirit, so how could ordinary kidnappers be able to do this?
If he went after the kidnapper now, how would he be able to? The dense forest was dark and full of trees. Even if the kidnappers didn't run away, he still wouldn't be able to find them.
However, Qi Heng was unwilling to give up. He led his cavalry troops and rampaged through the forest like headless flies. In the end, he busied himself for more than an hour, but he could not even see the silhouette of the man in black.
In the end, even if he was unwilling, he could only give up the search and bring his men back to the open space, sweating profusely. Just then, Meng Luo had already cried his eyes out. The four hanger-ons were like roosters who had lost a battle, they drooped their heads and guarded at the side.
In one night, Meng Luo lost two of his sons. Seeing this miserable situation, Qi Heng sighed in his heart. Sitting on the horse, he shook his head.
Meng Tian, the person who was loyal to the Emperor and the Son of Heaven, the one whom Tang Yin had treated as a thorn in his side, had finally died. Relying on Yin Rou's protection, he was able to dodge Tang Yin's spear, but not Tang Yin's arrow.
Even if he died, he would die in the hands of those 'kidnappers'. Not only did he die in vain, it was hard to tell how he died.
The two brothers, Meng Tian and Meng Chong, were killed one after the other, which was also a fatal blow to Meng Luo. The old man, who was already old and had lost his son in his early years, could not bear such a tragic blow and thus lied down on his bed.
The next day, Morning Meeting.
Gu Chen and Qi Heng reported this to Tang Yin in the imperial court. At the time of the report, Gu Chen's face was expressionless, as he was just stating a fact, but Qi Heng had lost his usual arrogant attitude, and had his head drooped down like a frosted eggplant, listless.
Regarding this matter, Tang Yin was also not very clear about the inside information, he only knew that although he had handed the matter over to Dark Arrow, in truth, it was Gu Chen who planned this behind the scenes. It was definitely Gu Chen's idea for Qi Heng to participate. After careful consideration, he also understood why Gu Chen pulled Qi Heng in. Since Gu Chen had already done so, he shouldn't waste his time thinking about it. Tang Yin intentionally revealed a look of displeasure as he looked askance at Qi Heng, and asked: "General Qi, was General Meng killed by robbers in front of your eyes?"
Although it was hard to say, it was a fact.
Qi Heng lowered his head, his face flushing red. If there was a crack on the ground now, he would not hesitate to dig his way in. He kept his head down, his voice so low that he could barely hear himself, and said, "Yes ?" "Yes ?"
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, and said: "A few insignificant robbers, are actually able to kill the General Meng in front of you, Great General, and then safely escape. Do you think this king should believe your words?"
Plop! Qi Heng's legs went soft as he knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the king and said with a trembling voice, "Great General, I was indeed careless and let the robbers take advantage of the loophole. Please punish me, great general!"
"Ai!" Tang Yin sighed heavily, and said: "Even so, I can't blame all of you. After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Qi Heng, you should finally understand now. Even if you have the strength at a critical moment, you are still limited in the end, unable to change the general situation. This time, you should learn a lesson and not be arrogant in the future. Fortunately, we only met a few thieves this time. If you had made the mistake of underestimating your enemy on the battlefield, you would not have survived at all! "
Qi Heng's heart jolted as he hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty's teachings are correct. This general will follow your teachings and will not commit another offense!"
"Remember what you said today! However, you are now the noble commander of an army, and your life no longer belongs to you alone. It belongs to the entire army of a hundred thousand officers. " Tang Yin said in a stern voice: "Today's mistake can be committed again in the future. You, as the commander, need not be so."
