In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 868 Damage

"court death!"

Seeing that the Lu family soldiers were not intimidated by him, Tian Yu's gaze turned cold, and he charged into the enemy's ranks with his spear in hand.

Having honed his skills on the battlefield for many years, Tian Yu's fighting style differs from that of ordinary martial artists. Martial artists often hold back their strength when fighting to ensure they do not get injured.

Koda Miyako is completely different.

Tian Yu, who charged into the enemy ranks, didn't bother to dodge. He relied entirely on his tough armor and strong body to withstand the enemy's attacks. He went all out, and his spear technique was wide and sweeping. Any Lu family soldier who was hit by Tian Yu's spear was either seriously injured and sent flying, or died instantly!

In just a few breaths, more than 20 soldiers died at Tian Yu's hands. At the same time, the Great Wall Army warriors who appeared with Tian Yu also moved and followed behind Tian Yu, fighting against the Lu family's numerous soldiers.

Meanwhile, Yang Zheng, along with 19 martial artists, was also fighting against the Lu family's soldiers.

Although Yang Zheng was not as powerful as Tian Yu, his third-grade cultivation level still allowed him to easily defeat the ordinary soldiers of the Lu family. Therefore, even though the Lu family soldiers were numerous, Yang Zheng, who was surrounded, was still able to move with ease, weaving through the crowd and harvesting one life after another like cutting leeks.

The Yang family warriors who followed Yang Zheng to the city were equally unwilling to be outdone, and continued to kill Lu family soldiers.

However, the situation soon changed.

At first, the soldiers who besieged Tian Yu and Yang Zheng were just ordinary serf soldiers from the surrounding area. But after the Lu family realized what was happening, the soldiers who besieged them changed from ordinary serf soldiers to Lu family retainers.

With the addition of these subordinates, Yang Zheng and his group faced increased pressure, and casualties began to occur.

Watching those around him fall one by one, Yang Zheng felt immense pain and became increasingly ruthless in his attacks.

But at that moment, a flash of light appeared in Yang Zheng's pupils. In the critical moment, Yang Zheng subconsciously took a step back!

"The response is quite fast!"

The man who suddenly appeared beside Yang Zheng sheathed his blade, a hint of regret on his face.

That flash of light was unleashed by him. He thought he could take the opportunity to seriously injure Yang Zheng, but Yang Zheng reacted too quickly and dodged the attack.

Looking at the suddenly appearing Lu family expert, Yang Zheng's expression turned solemn. This person was able to unleash a blade of light, which meant that he was at least a third-grade martial artist, almost the same level as himself!

If he were facing a single third-rank martial artist, Yang Zheng would naturally not be afraid. However, he was not only facing this one third-rank martial artist, but also a vast number of Lu family retainers!

Once he is entangled by this third-rank martial artist, the other members of the Lu family will seize the opportunity to attack, and he will probably be unable to defend himself!

Thinking of this, Yang Zheng felt a little gloomy.

The Lu family warrior who launched the sneak attack said coldly, "Since you dare to climb the city walls, then be prepared to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the martial artist swung his sword, and a bright blade flashed in his pupils. Yang Zheng quickly raised his spear and shattered the blade with a single thrust.

At the same time, the Lu family warriors who had launched the sneak attack also closed in on Yang Zheng, their long swords flashing repeatedly, forcing Yang Zheng to retreat.

Fortunately, the Lu family warrior was only at the third rank, and it was obviously impossible for him to take down Yang Zheng in a short time. He never intended to kill Yang Zheng quickly. His real purpose was to entangle Yang Zheng so that the other Lu family members could deal with Yang Zheng's subordinates. Once those subordinates fell, it would only be a matter of time before Yang Zheng was killed.

And he achieved his goal.

As Yang Zheng was entangled, the Yang family army warriors who had climbed the city wall with Yang Zheng gradually showed signs of weakness. With an average level of only middle-grade, they were clearly no match for the Lu family troops' siege. Before long, the warriors that Yang Zheng had brought to the city wall died one after another, and in less than two minutes, more than half of them had been lost.

This infuriated Yang Zheng, who wanted to extricate himself to help his subordinates, but the Lu family warriors gave him no chance and held him firmly in place.

"Want to help your subordinates? Maybe you should worry about yourself first!"

Taking advantage of Yang Zheng's impatience and the opening in his defense, the Lu family warrior slashed at Yang Zheng's chest with his sword, breaking through Yang Zheng's protective true qi and striking Yang Zheng's breastplate.

"Pfft!"

The sharp blade slashed a huge gash in Yang Zheng's armor, but because his protective inner energy and the armor absorbed most of the force, Yang Zheng was not injured.

"Damn it!"

Yang Zheng gritted his teeth and had no choice but to concentrate and do his best to deal with the martial artist's offensive, and for a time he was caught in a fierce battle.

Meanwhile, Tian Yu was also caught in a fierce battle.

Initially, the only force besieging Tian Yu was the Lu family's ordinary serf soldiers. These ordinary serf soldiers were naturally unable to harm Tian Yu, who was at the peak of the first rank. Even the Great Wall Army warriors that Tian Yu brought to the city wall could be easily dealt with.

However, as the besieging enemy turned into Lu's retainers, the situation instantly became difficult.

Of course, if it were only the Lu family's retainers, Tian Yu would not be afraid. After all, although the Lu family's retainers were all martial artists, their cultivation levels were not high. They were generally mid-grade and low-grade martial artists. Even if there were many of them, it would be difficult for them to do anything to Tian Yu.

What truly troubled Tian Yu was the old monster from the Lu family.

The Lu family wasn't stupid. After realizing Tian Yu and the others' intention to seize a foothold, they naturally went all out.

They not only sent all their elite troops to besiege Tian Yu and his group, but even old monsters like Lu Yingjie, who rarely showed up, appeared on the city wall, and the four of them joined forces to stop Tian Yu.

Looking at Lu Yingjie and the other three who were blocking his way, Tian Yu said in a deep voice, "You old beasts, wasn't the lesson I taught you that night enough?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of hatred flashed in the eyes of Lu Yingjie and the other three. The assassination attempt that night had caused the Lu family a huge loss. Not only did Lu Yingjie lose an arm, but an ancestor also died at Tian Yu's hands. This filled the hearts of Lu Yingjie and the other three with hatred for Tian Yu!

"Humph!"

Lu Yingjie sneered, "Tian Yu, today is your death day!"

"You've got quite the big talk. I hope your capabilities match your boasting!"

Tian Yu's body sank, and his right foot slammed heavily onto the ground!

"boom!"

The overwhelming force instantly shattered the bricks beneath Tian Yu's feet, and Tian Yu himself used the recoil to propel himself forward at high speed, his spear thrusting straight at Lu Yingjie.

Even Lu Yingjie in his prime wouldn't dare to take Tian Yu's attack head-on, let alone in his current crippled state.

Upon seeing Tian Yu charging towards him, Lu Yingjie retreated without hesitation to dodge, while the other three old monsters gathered their true energy and launched attacks on Tian Yu with either fists or feet.

Tian Yu was not foolish enough to take the attacks of the three men head-on. He raised his free left hand to block the fist of one of the old monsters, and at the same time used the force to retreat to the side and back, avoiding the attacks of the other two old monsters.
