Eternal Saber-Chapter 265 - 49: Escape from Certain Death

Tan Wujiu did not understand Chen Tang’s intentions.

But he was indeed at his limit, even his hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.

Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, he felt dizzy. When he heard Chen Tang’s reminder, he subconsciously raised his hands to cover his ears.

But in this brief delay, Song Kuo, Yue Mingshan, and others had already closed in.

Blades and swords were inches away, the chill was palpable!

Chen Tang remained calm and suddenly opened his mouth, roaring deeply from his throat!

Lion’s Roar Technique erupted!

This roar, like thunder out of a clear sky, was deafening, shaking the world, and capturing the soul!

Those martial artists near Chen Tang with lower cultivation felt a piercing pain in their ears, a buzzing sound, their vision blacked out, nearly fainting.

Even experts like Song Kuo and Yue Mingshan were struck as if by lightning, their bodies shook!

In the Capital City, Chen Tang killed the barbarian genius Sang Han and was titled "Lion-Tiger Arhat" by His Holiness, making a name for himself. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Yue Mingshan and Song Kuo had heard about this.

But as they were far in Qingzhou, they only knew the outcome, unaware of the many details of the moves on the stage.

Chen Tang’s Lion’s Roar caught them off guard!

The two were momentarily dazed, slightly distracted.

At this moment, a cold glint flashed!

Chen Tang drew his saber.

The Burning Wood Saber in Divine Illumination State!

Puh! Puh! Puh!

Blood splattered.

Song Kuo’s head was cut off with one slash.

Yue Mingshan quickly regained clarity, attempting to dodge, but ultimately couldn’t avoid it. The "Eternal" slash nearly split him in two!

He stumbled back several steps, looked down.

A huge, ghastly wound, from his left shoulder to his right rib, exposed his organs, with blood gushing out uncontrollably!

"Ah!"

Yue Mingshan screamed miserably, trying to cover his wound.

But this slash was nearly fatal.

He was beyond saving.

In truth, Yue Mingshan, having cultivated to Fourth Grade Awakening, was fully capable of withstanding Chen Tang’s Lion’s Roar Technique.

Because Chen Tang hadn’t cultivated Inner Qi yet, he relied solely on the Cyan Lion Form in Arhat Demon-Subduing Technique to unleash a roar. Its power had not reached its peak.

If Yue Mingshan had blocked his Ear Aperture with Inner Qi, he could have isolated the sound wave impact of the Lion’s Roar Technique.

Unfortunately, Yue Mingshan didn’t know Chen Tang had such a skill.

Completely unprepared, he fell for it.

This is the terrifying aspect of Sound Strike Martial Arts.

If caught off guard, one would be defenseless.

Chen Tang, with two slashes, eliminated the two most threatening experts, Song Kuo and Yue Mingshan, then continued slashing, cutting down the dazed crowd ahead, charging toward the South Gate!

A Guard Captain of Cyan Dragon Bureau blocked Chen Tang’s path with a sword.

Chen Tang kept moving.

A flash of the blade.

The two crossed paths.

This Guard Captain of Cyan Dragon Bureau fell dead!

With no more threat from Fourth Grade martial artists, Chen Tang’s pressure reduced significantly.

Even Fifth Grade martial artists couldn’t withstand his Divine Light Slash!

The rest were even less of a threat.

Even carrying someone, Chen Tang could hack left and right through the crowd, unstoppable, carving a bloody path!

Woo woo!

Just then, Chen Tang’s ears twitched.

Amid the chaotic shouting around him, he heard a strange whistling sound behind him!

It was the sound of arrows breaking through the air!

Chen Tang didn’t turn back to block but maintained his speed, taking a large step diagonally forward, dodging the two arrows from behind.

"Release the arrows! Release the arrows!"

The Longpan County Captain watched the figure in the crowd, raising his arm and shouting.

Earlier, Chen Tang and Tan Wujiu had fought a bloody battle on the long street, surrounded mostly by the troops from Longpan County and Qingzhou City.

Once the arrows were released, there was a significant risk of friendly fire.

Now, seeing Chen Tang about to escape with someone, the Longpan County Captain could no longer hold back and immediately ordered the archers behind him!

Swish!

A dense wave of feathered arrows covered Chen Tang’s direction.

Hearing the whistling wind behind him, Chen Tang didn’t look back, guessing a storm of arrows was coming.

Chen Tang used Tiger Leaping Gorge’s body technique, crouched, and with a quick stride, dove into the crowd ahead.

Puh puh puh!

Arrows fell like rain, arriving instantly, landing among the crowd at the South Gate, instantly shooting down a large number!

"Ouch!"

"Where did the feathered arrows come from!"

Using the crowd, Chen Tang avoided the incoming arrows, emerging unscathed, while the crowd at the South Gate suffered significant losses.

The gates of Longpan County were already closed.

The gate was over a zhang (ten feet) high, made of heavy, solid round logs, joined together with rivets, requiring special siege engines or battering rams to breach.

Chen Tang, being only Sixth Grade, had only mortal strength, unable to smash through such a sturdy gate.

"Put me down, escape on your own."

At this moment, Tan Wujiu slowly came to, saw Chen Tang’s plight, and sighed.

Although he had covered his ears earlier, being too close, exhausted, and losing too much blood, he still fainted from Chen Tang’s Lion’s Roar.

After bumping along with Chen Tang’s run, he gradually regained consciousness.

With that, Tan Wujiu tried to get off Chen Tang’s back.

He had long harbored a death wish, not wanting to burden Chen Tang at this moment.

"Don’t move!"

Chen Tang stabilized him with his left hand, lowly growling, "Let’s escape first!"

"Do you still have strength?"

Chen Tang glanced at the guard on the city wall, speaking deeply, "Help me deal with those above!"

Tan Wujiu assessed his condition, realizing his dantian was completely empty.

His inner qi was already depleted.

But he took a deep breath, gripped his long sword once more.

No matter what, he would first help Chen Tang escape the city!

Chen Tang arrived below the city wall without stopping, biting onto "Eternal" and using both hands and feet, executed Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill, rushing upwards toward the wall top.

Swish swish swish!

Arrows shot towards him from behind.

Chen Tang dodged as best as he could.

After all, Tan Wujiu still wore the Cyan Dragon Copper Armor, which could block arrows from the One-Stone Bow.

However, the feathered arrows shot down by the guards on the wall needed Tan Wujiu’s sword to fend off!

Fortunately, Chen Tang had honed the Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill to perfection.

Even with someone on his back, he scaled the more than three zhang high wall effortlessly in a few quick moves!

On the wall top, Chen Tang tossed away his bow and arrow, drew his waist knife, and smiled at the surrounding guards closing in.

The "Eternal" fell, perfectly caught by his hand!

The next moment, blood spurted on the wall top!

Several bodies fell off the wall.

"Neigh!"

Outside the wall, came the sudden whinny of a horse.

Chen Tang looked down and saw Thunder Leopard, waiting long below the wall!

Chen Tang, with Tan Wujiu on his back, pressed his left hand on the stone brick of the wall, leaping down.

Mid-air, his feet stepped into the gaps in the wall.

With continuous steps, he reduced the drop’s impact.

Finally, he lightly landed on Thunder Leopard’s back.

Just at this moment, the South City Gate was slowly opening, Longpan County’s troops prepared to give chase!

Thunder Leopard paid no heed, raised its head and neighed, galloping away into the dust.

By the time Longpan County’s cavalry rushed out of the city, Thunder Leopard had already escaped to the horizon, only a small black dot remaining, soon vanishing from sight.
