Chapter 222 Brewing
Outside Luoyang City.

In Li Tang’s central army camp.

Li Shimin asked anxiously: "Brother Kou, has the morale of the soldiers stabilized?"

Kou Zhong replied calmly: "Don't worry, King Qin. After my demonstration of the cold-attributed Qi, their fear of Yang Guang has almost dissipated."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "That's good!"

As their conversation continued, the tent fell into silence again.

Seeing that no one was talking, Li Shimin asked, "Do we really have the ability to defeat Yang Guang?"

No one answered. Li Shimin looked at Fan Qinghui, but Fan Qinghui said nothing.

Looking at Shi Feixuan, Shi Feixuan remained silent.

Finally, he turned his gaze to Kou Zhong.

Kou Zhong pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Yang Dao's martial arts should be the best, but he is still a human being after all. He will get tired, injured, and his energy will be exhausted, so it is still possible to win."

Xu Ziling nodded and said: "That's right, no matter how powerful her martial arts are, there will be a limit in the end."

Kou Zhong's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said thoughtfully: "Yang Guang froze Luoyang City on a large scale, so his power must have been severely depleted. This is definitely the best time to kill him."

Shi Feixuan nodded and said, "That's right!"

Xu Zile said: "If we go and challenge Yang Guang to a duel now, we can definitely kill him before his power recovers."

Kou Zhong nodded. Yes, this was indeed an opportunity, but it was still not easy.

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this and said happily, "It has been an hour since then, and the ice has almost melted. I will order the entire army to attack immediately."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The sky was overcast and it looked like it was going to rain.

Outside Luoyang City,

Thunder drums roared and military flags fluttered.

The war started again.

After resting for an hour, Li Tang attacked the city and pressed forward towards Luoyang City again.

After all, it was not a cold winter. The ice cubes made by Wang Ming gradually melted after two hours.

It will no longer cause difficulties in siege.

Li Shimin's siege strategy is still the same old routine.

War strategies are often just icing on the cake. In most cases, what matters is still the national strength and the military quality of the soldiers.

The role of a general is often to command the troops and ensure that they obey orders when fighting.

Therefore, Li Tang still crushed towards Luoyang with a huge army base.

Then they sent out experts to seize the city gate.

Kou Zhong rode on a very majestic horse, holding the reins in one hand and the Moon in the Well in the other, and shouted loudly at the foot of the city: "Yang Guang, don't be a coward, come down and fight."

"Yang Guang, don't be like a woman and hide in your boudoir."

"Yang Guang is a man, so come and compete with your grandfather Kou."

……

Yang You said indignantly: "This Kou Zhong is really arrogant, Grandfather Emperor, please let me teach him a lesson!"

Wang Ming shook his head and said, "You are no match for him. Don't go and ask for trouble."

Yang You was also sad when he heard this. He knew very well that what Wang Ming said must be very right.

Dugu Feng interrupted at this time: "Then why not let me go!"

Dugu Feng's strength was not weak, and she was at the same level as Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. If she was allowed to go out and fight Kou Zhong, she could really fight, but Wang Ming did not agree.

Wang Ming said: "Don't be fooled. It will be difficult to come out once you go down. Even though Kou Zhong is asking me to have a fair duel, as long as I go down, I will face the siege of Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan."

Hearing this, Yang You was deeply touched and nodded: "That's right, these guys who claim to be white martial arts masters have no awareness of one-on-one combat at all. When we went to fight them, they all surrounded us. They used the majority to defeat the minority."

Dugu Feng was also hesitant when she heard this, wondering whether to go down. She was very confident in her own strength, but she was not conceited.

When Kou Zhong and his two companions were fighting with Wang Ming before, she watched from a distance and was very clear about Kou Zhong's strength. It was definitely equal to hers, and it would be difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time. If Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan were to besiege them, she would most likely die on the spot.

You Chuhong also spoke up at this time and said in a deep voice: "Feng'er really can't go. It's very dangerous down there. This danger doesn't come from Kou Zhong."

Dugu Feng's attention was attracted by her nanny You Chuhong.

You Chuhong said with a gloomy face: "When I was fighting with Lekong and Fan Qinghui, I was going to kill the old nun Fan Qinghui from Tiao Cihang Jingzhai, but at the last moment, I sensed a strong aura locking onto me, so I had to give up this plan."

You Chuhong's words startled Yang You, and he asked, "Do they have any hidden experts over there?"

Without waiting for You Chuhong to answer, Dugu Feng spoke first, "That's right! There are hidden masters beside them. After I defeated Hou Xibai and Ba Fenghan, I also planned to kill them and be done with it. But when I was about to do it, a force of energy came over me. I had been fighting with Hou Xibai and the others for a long time, and my condition was not good. I really didn't dare to fight with that mysterious master, so I had to give up the plan to kill Hou Xibai and the other two opponents."

Upon hearing this, Yang You cursed, "This bunch of hypocritical guys are always trying to cheat people."

Dugu Feng looked unhappy and asked softly, "But we can't just let Kou Zhong shout outside the city like this! This will really undermine the morale of the soldiers."

You Chuhong also nodded and said, "Yes! This is too much of a loss of dignity for Your Majesty. Kou Zhong cursing like this under the city is simply treasonous."

Wang Ming shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. I don't care about these things anyway. Let him scold me!"

Dugu Feng said harshly, "This kid is too cheap."

Wang Ming said seriously: "Those are not important. What is important is that you must hold on to it later."

Yang You and the other two said in unison: "Yes!"

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling continued to challenge Wang Ming to a fight outside the city.

In fact, Kou Zhong had no idea.

Although he swore that Yang Guang's true energy was exhausted and his combat power was less than one tenth of it, what if that were the case?
What if this unreasonable Yang Guang still has some energy left?

That's why Kou Zhong challenged Wang Ming at the foot of the city at this time, instead of directly using his lightness skills to climb over the city wall of Luoyang City and come to fight Wang Ming.

After more than ten minutes of challenging, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and others also confirmed it.

Kou Zhong came to Li Shimin and said, "King Qin, Yang Guang has been scolded like a grandson, but he still hasn't come out. It seems that his strength has really been exhausted."

Li Shimin said happily: "Good! Attack immediately and bring me Yang Guang's head."

He immediately ordered the entire army to begin the attack.

Li Tang's soldiers approached the walls of Luoyang city like densely packed ants.

The battering ram was pushed forward by the soldiers and hit the city gate.

“Bang bang bang bang!!!!”

The city gate was still tightly closed.

“Kill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

He carried the ladder across the moat, stepped on the corpses of his comrades who had not yet been collected, and arrived at the base of the city wall of Luoyang City. Then he set up the ladder and began to climb up.

These Li Tang soldiers are very strange.

They were very confused.

Because it's too abnormal.

The whole process was so smooth that they couldn't believe it.

Except for the city gate which still couldn't be broken down, everything else went too smoothly.

They carried the ladders, came over from the moat, and then climbed up the city walls. It was so smooth. There was no resistance at all, no arrows shot down from the city walls, no boulders fell, and no gold juice splashed down.

There was absolutely no resistance.

This is certainly a good thing, but it is clearly not normal.

at this time,

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Shi Feixuan, Ba Fenghan, Hou Xibai, and Fan Qinghui all rushed towards the Luoyang city wall.

They jumped up and down a few times, found the relay point on the city wall, and started to move towards the wall.

Fan Qinghui shouted, "You, the tyrant emperor Yang Guang, are so greedy for merit that you have ruined the people's wealth, causing the common people of the world to suffer. Today is the day you die."

They saw Yang Guang.

What caught my eye was Yang Guang sitting on a chair, sweating profusely and looking painful.

Ba Fenghan laughed and said, "There's something wrong with Yang Guang's body, hahahaha!!"

Just when Ba Fenghan was about to step forward and chop Wang Ming with his sword.

Xu Ziling shouted: "Something is wrong, run!"

“Bang!!!!!!!” An explosion sounded.

Wang Ming slapped out with his palm, and the power of his palm collapsed the city wall in front of him.

Ba Fenghan, Fan Qinghui and Hou Xibai were also seriously injured and fell down. They were caught by Xu Ziling and others, otherwise they would have been killed.

It was at the critical moment that the [Moon in the Well Heart Technique] came into play for Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong, allowing them to sense that something was wrong in the outside world and take evasive measures in advance, otherwise they would have ended up being killed.

Shi Feixuan's [Sword Heart Clear] also has a similar effect.

Ba Fenghan and the others were seriously injured.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling didn't care that they were on a battlefield, and immediately passed the Qi of the Art of Immortality to the few people.

Kou Zhong transferred his true energy to Ba Fenghan regardless of the cost, prolonging his life.

Ba Fenghan is not a Han Chinese, but a Turk.

But for Kou Zhong, Ba Fenghan is more important to him than many Han people.

The growth history of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling can also be said to be a history of escaping and being beaten.

Either you are being beaten, or you are on the way to being beaten.

I met a lot of people along the way.

But there are very few people who are really willing to accompany them all the way and have a sincere friendship with them!

For example: Li Jing, Qin Shubao...

They may have saved someone's life or they may have had friendship from fighting together.

But when Kou Zhong needed them the most, no one was willing to stand by him.

Basically, they all surrendered to Li Shimin without hesitation.

Although Ba Fenghan finally persuaded Kou Zhong to surrender to Li Shimin, he supported surrender.

But before that, he had always worked diligently to help himself conquer the world.

In a sense, Ba Fenghan is much more loyal than Xu Ziling.

Hou Xibai had the [Immortal Seal] of his master Shi Zhixuan, which transformed the death energy into life energy at the critical moment and barely weakened the attack. Although he was injured, it was not too fatal.

Fan Qinghui was in a miserable state and had fainted at this time.

Xu Ziling, this bootlicker, is also trying his best to save Fan Qinghui for the sake of the goddess Shi Feixuan.

Just then, an extremely handsome man appeared beside Fan Qinghui.

Xu Ziling was almost frightened to death by the sudden appearance of a person beside him. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was Kou Zhong's father-in-law Song Que. Only then did he feel relieved and continued to do his best to treat Fan Qinghui.

Song Que said with a sad look: "Qinghui, I should have shown up earlier, then you wouldn't have been injured so badly. I'm going to kill Yang Guang to avenge you now."

After saying this, Song Que started heading towards Luoyang City.

From the time Kou Zhong and his men were knocked down by Wang Ming until Song Que arrived, only a few minutes had passed.

Song Que actually didn't want to get involved in this battle.

Because he no longer had any reason to fight, Kou Zhong surrendered.

He himself also responded to Fan Qinghui's request and stopped raising an army to fight for world domination.

Song Que mentioned that they were about to rush to Luoyang City to fight a decisive battle with Wang Ming.

Wang Ming came out and floated out from the place where a section of the wall was missing.

Shi Feixuan shouted: "Yang Guang, you hurt my master, I will kill you."

Wang Ming glanced at Shi Feixuan indifferently, then shifted his gaze away, without any intention of staying, and looked into the distance.

“Hoohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!”

Li Shimin launched a rain of swords at Wang Ming at the right time, hoping to pierce Wang Ming's heart with thousands of arrows.

However, those swords were blocked by an invisible wall of air before they got within ten meters of Wang Ming.

Those arrows were like shooting into a gelatinous substance, making it difficult to advance an inch.

Song Que was also frightened and said in surprise: "How can Yang Guangdao's body-protecting Qi be so strong? It's simply horrifying."

Kou Zhong said in horror: "How come Yang Guang's Qi is so strong and powerful? Is he still a human?!"

Xu Ziling was also shocked, and he murmured in amazement: "Such a large amount of true energy, really...really...can a human really cultivate it?"

Wang Ming's body was filled with a huge amount of true energy, which was constantly swirling around his body.

Within a ten-foot radius, there was flowing true energy.

Wang Ming ignored their thoughts, clasped his hands together, mobilized all the energy in his body, and then slowly raised his hands upwards.

"A natural disaster is coming!!!"

The endless true energy around Wang Ming's body instantly flew high into the sky.

After a while, the real energy around Wang Ming's body disappeared and went towards the sky.

Kou Zhong asked in confusion, "What the hell is Yang Guang doing?"

Song Que shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Although Song Que had no idea what Wang Ming was doing, he saw Yang Guang stagger after he struck toward the sky.

It was obviously his imagination that he had overdrawn his inner energy. How could he miss such a good opportunity?

No matter how scary Yang Guang was before, now is definitely the best time to kill him.

Song Que began to gallop towards Wang Ming.

He climbed for a distance and felt a chill on his face, but he didn't care.

After a while he felt it again, it was densely packed.

He still didn't care, he knew that was the feeling of raindrops hitting his body.

suddenly,

Song Que stopped and realized something was wrong.
