After receiving Shao Fang's order to defend the Feng Army, Xu Leng Qi had the authority to command the Central Army and had the authority to mobilize the local army. No matter if it was the Central Army or the local army, whenever they saw Xu Leng Qi, they were all like mice seeing a cat.

Seeing that Xu Leng Qi had arrived, Ma Qian anxiously squeezed out from the crowd of guards and quickly walked to Xu Leng Qi's horse, respectfully and deeply bowed, and said: "This official greets Chief General!"

Looking at Ma Qian's serious face, whose eyes were wandering, Xu Leng Qi wanted to scold him, but he resisted the urge to, laughed indifferently, and waved his hand: "Master Ma, there is no need to be so courteous."

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Since Lord Ma is here, it's better said that I don't know why the soldiers of our army are fighting with each other here."

Ma Qian's expression turned serious as he said: "Chief General doesn't know, but our Central Army brothers are lawless and have openly stolen our Baishui Tavern. When I heard the news, I led my troops over, wanting to stop the brothers with Central Army, but who would've known that they wouldn't listen to our advice. That's why I was forced ?"

Xu Leng Qi nodded, he raised his eyes and looked towards the Central Army area, and asked: "Who is the one you guys are leading?"

"Chief General, this lowly one is here!" Seeing that even the old marshal had come, the Captain realized that the matter was dire. She ran forward and kneeled on the ground, kowtowing to the old marshal.

Xu Leng Qi sized him up and asked: "You're the one who brought people to snatch Baishui Tavern?" He had originally thought that his team would be led by at least a Regiment Commander, but he didn't expect it to be just a thousand-man commander. This person was quite daring.

The Captain knelt on the ground, her sweat pouring like rain, and said in a low voice, "Yes! It's my team. " After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Chief General, the reason why we are fighting with the local army is because they are bullying us too much. With that, he turned around and shouted loudly, "Quick, quickly bring the brother that was killed just now over here!"

Following his words, the Central Army crowd became restless. Then, four soldiers lifted the door board, and carried the killed Mo Soldier over.

The Captain's expression was sorrowful as he said, "Even if the fault lies with us, the Regional Army should not be so merciless and cut off this brother's head!"

Xu Leng Qi dismounted from his horse and walked over to the corpse. He lifted a corner of the cape that was covering the corpse and slowly put it down. This was simply an unnecessary death or injury. However, this soldier did not die in the battlefield, but in the hands of his own people instead.

He turned his head to look at Ma Qian and said: "Master Ma, brothers in Central Army are in the wrong. As the commander-in-chiefs, this old man will naturally return justice to you.

Why didn't you say that they came to rob my restaurant first? Ma Qian felt unsettled, but Xu Leng Qi was still a Chief General, after all, he was several levels older than him, so he did not dare to retort. Ma Qian lowered his head and remained silent.

Seeing that, Xu Leng Qi knew that he was not convinced, but if he said more, it would hurt his good will, and he could only endure it.

He took a deep breath and said to the Captain, "Although the brothers in the Regional Army are a bit ruthless, it's even more inappropriate for you guys to come here to snatch the Baishui Tavern. No matter what you say, the matter still arose because of you."

The Captain's heart skipped a beat. His eyes turned and he said in a sobbing tone, "Chief General, this lowly one has no other choice!"

"There's nothing we can do? Could it be that there's someone forcing you to do so? "

"Chief General, our brothers are only half full now. We have to set up a defense system and defend against the enemy attack, we have no choice but to starve! "We aren't afraid of death, but sacrificing our lives for our country is our honor. But even if we die in battle, our brothers will still want to be full, like a ghost ?" As he spoke, the Captain started to sob, while the other Central Army soldiers also felt the same way. Although none of them cried, they still kept on wiping away their tears.

Seeing them acting this way, Xu Leng Qi also had a bad feeling in his heart. It was the fault of his brothers below him, who were they, for them to fight in a war while starving. Of course it was his, the commander's, fault.

"This old man is useless!" Xu Leng Qi clasped his hands behind his back and couldn't help but sigh.

Just then, one of the four soldiers carrying the corpse took out a dagger hidden at the back of his waist. With a stride, he rushed towards Xu Leng Qi, without saying a word, he raised his hand and thrusted the dagger.

That change was too sudden and exceeded everyone's expectations. By the time they managed to react, it was already too late to save him.

Even Xu Leng Qi was shocked by the person who came. The old man had totally relied on his instincts to twist his waist and at the same time take half a step back.

"Pu!"

The Mo Soldier that had launched the sneak attack did not pierce Xu Leng Qi's vital parts, and the dagger in his hand pierced the other party's ribs. The stab went deep enough that the entire blade frame of the dagger entered Xu Leng Qi's body, leaving only the handle outside.

Xu Leng Qi cried out in shock and pain before he turned around and slapped hard onto Mo Soldier's face. Pow! The Mo Soldier retreated a few steps, and half of his face swelled up.

"There's an assassin!" Protect the general (master)! " In an instant, the entire scene exploded, Xu Leng Qi's and Ma Qian's guards and generals swarmed forward, surrounding the two of them, and protecting the two of them as they continuously retreated.

At the same time, a large number of soldiers encircled the Mo Soldier that was carrying thorns, and hacked towards him with their long swords and war blades.

Under the attacks of so many people, that Mo Soldier practitioner was unable to dodge or evade, and in the blink of an eye, he was slashed to the ground, never able to stand back up again.

This assassin was precisely the Hidden Arrow Crew that was concealed within the Mo Army. In truth, Hidden Arrow Crew alone would not cause any injuries to the spirit warriors, but in order to avoid arousing suspicion from the guards when approaching Xu Leng Qi, he purposely did not consume the Spirit-gathering Pill s, and dispersed all the spirit energy in his body. As a result, he became no different from an ordinary person.1

This person's Hidden Arrow Crew's tragic death did not let the matter end, but rather led to even more Hidden Arrow Crew s continuing to assassinate Xu Leng Qi.

As the guards continued to protect Xu Leng Qi and Ma Qian, more than a dozen people suddenly appeared out of nowhere. These people all carried black Spiritual Knife, and didn't say any unnecessary words.

There were around fifty guards and generals brought by Xu Leng Qi, and there were also several tens of guards for Ma Qian. Adding in the Mo Soldier s that had rushed over, the two of them had around four to five hundred soldiers around them, including quite a few outstanding Spirit Cultivator.

Seeing that the enemy had a lot of forces and was huddled together, there were some who had fast reactions within the Hidden Arrow Crew, among them were those who used Shadow Spell, wanting to blast Xu Leng Qi who was seriously injured into the crowd to death.

The Shadow Spell that he released had hit the Mo Soldier but before the man's body could explode, Spirit Cultivator took the initiative and threw him back.

Boom! * Following a muffled bang, the Mo Soldier that had been struck by the Shadow Spell exploded right in front of him. The black blood that shot out from all directions did not splash onto Mo Army.

In just an instant, the entire body of the Hidden Arrow Crew emitted a thick mist, and all of the spirit armor on his body was completely melted by the Shadow Spell that he had released.

Before he could put on his spirit armor again, the Spirit Cultivator who was fighting back had already rushed in front of him, and stabbed the spirit spear in his abdomen. The strength behind this spear strike was so strong that it directly pierced through Hidden Arrow Crew's lower abdomen and the tip of the spear was stuck out from behind.

When the Hidden Arrow Crew received that fatal blow, without even making a sound, he grabbed onto the spear with one hand, preventing the other party from pulling it back. The other hand held the Spiritual Knife high up, and with the last of his strength, he slashed at the other party.

"Pu!" The cold light pierced into Spirit Cultivator's body, and fresh blood spurted out like a fountain. The two of them collapsed to the ground, dead.

This was only a small part of the battle. More than ten Hidden Arrow Crew s had appeared and engaged the opponent in a life-and-death battle.

The Mo Country on the other side and the local army still had to rush over to reinforce them, but after just a few steps, another ten odd assassins covered in Black Spirit Armor appeared in front of them. These assassins were outnumbered, but they did not seem to be at a disadvantage at all as they chopped down the Mo Soldier that was rushing towards them one after another.

As for the current Xu Leng Qi, even though the injury on his ribs was unclear and he did not injure any vital points, it was still enough to take half of the old man's life.

The wound below his ribs was bleeding profusely, Xu Leng Qi's face was pale as a sheet, his body was trembling uncontrollably, but he still maintained his clarity of mind. Under the support of the two bodyguards, he didn't forget to remind the people around him that they shouldn't be in a hurry to leave. Instead, they should mobilize their troops and capture these assassins, since they would be able to track down the spies who infiltrated the city.

Hearing Xu Leng Qi's orders, the surrounding guards and generals almost cried. It had already come to this point that the old marshal was not concerned about his safety, but he was still thinking of capturing a spy!

Ma Qian followed beside Xu Leng Qi and said with his voice trembling, "Don't worry Chief General, we will find the spy. You should hurry back to the County Head Palace to recuperate from your injuries ?"

Xu Leng Qi was amused, and said: "This little injury is nothing, this old man has fought for half his life, even more serious than this, and it did not take my life!"

Ma Qian secretly grinned, he thought, you are not afraid of death, but I am still f * cking afraid of death!

As they were talking, another group of assassins suddenly appeared, pouncing towards them.

This group of assassins only had five people, but all of them were exceptionally strong. With all five of them working together, they forced open a path of blood as they charged towards Xu Leng Qi and the numerous guards around him.

Amongst the five of them, there was one of the Dark Arrow's leader, Cheng Jin. He looked at Xu Leng Qi who was in the middle of the crowd, shouted, raised his blade and rushed forward, before he even arrived, the Spirit Wave was the first to arrive, bringing along a gust of wind that swept towards Xu Leng Qi's body.
