Chapter 463 Encirclement
The Jin army general also came back to his senses at this time. He laughed loudly and bowed deeply to Huang Lei, saying loudly: "So, it was you who left marks along the way to guide the direction of our army. I am so disrespectful! I am the leader of the Third Corps of the Fifth Army. I have heard of Brother Huang's reputation for a long time!"
Huang Lei smiled and responded, "Duan Tianyang is seriously injured. General He's chance to make achievements has come. The remaining remnants of the Dongguan Army are just ants. They have already fled into the mountains and forests. They are not a threat. We just need to capture Duan Tianyang!"
"Haha, Brother Huang should be credited with the greatest achievement for this kind of feat!" As the two were talking, Duan Tianyang's smile became even more bitter. The four soldiers beside him looked at each other, their eyes full of bloodshot, their faces distorted, their anger evident in their words.
They clenched their weapons tightly and rushed towards Huang Lei, roaring: "You shameless man, today you will pay with blood!"
Before the four men could get close, they were blocked outside by the Jin army like a solid wall. All kinds of long and short weapons whizzed in from all directions, instantly submerging the four men in the flash of swords and sabers.
Seeing the four men fall one by one, Huang Lei couldn't help but laugh out loud, with a hint of contempt on his lips: "He is trying to stop a chariot with his arms, overestimating his own strength!" After that, he looked around at the Jin army and asked loudly: "Does anyone carry the Ju Yuan Dan?!"
"I have!" A crisp answer came from beside Huang Lei. He turned around in surprise, only to see Duan Tianyang standing beside him like a ghost, with a stern expression.
Huang Lei was horrified and cried out, "Help me quick..." Before he could finish his words, Duan Tianyang's long knife stabbed at him like lightning.
Huang Lei quickly bent down to dodge, and the long knife narrowly passed over his head.
Before Huang Lei could stand firm, Duan Tianyang hit him hard on the back of his head with his other hand. With a "bang", Huang Lei fell to the ground.
Duan Tianyang turned his wrist, held the long sword upside down, and stabbed downwards. With a "puff" sound, the long sword pierced through Huang Lei's shoulder from behind, and his shoulder blade shattered. The long sword sank deeply into the mud.
"Ah!" Huang Lei's screams resounded through the sky, heart-wrenching. He lay on the ground, his body shaking.
He Duan saw this, his eyes widened with anger, and he yelled at Duan Tianyang: "Stop! Let him go!"
Duan Tianyang's mouth curled up into a sneer, the long knife in his hand flashed with a cold light, and he slashed it down mercilessly. In an instant, blood spurted out like a fountain. Half of Huang Lei's body was cut open, and his internal organs were scattered all over the ground, which was a shocking sight.
Duan Tianyang was no longer able to fight the martial arts master head-on, but the spy had to be eliminated, so he withdrew and, as agile as a cheetah, ran straight towards the nearby courtyard wall.
Along the way, he challenged three Jin soldiers in a row with swift and precise movements. When he reached the courtyard wall, he leaped and landed on the top of the wall as lightly as a flying swallow, then jumped down without hesitation and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Quick! Stop him!" He Duan's roar echoed in the air, but it was too late. Duan Tianyang had already jumped out of Fan's house, and dozens of Jin soldiers rushed over, trying to trap him in the center.
Duan Tianyang shouted angrily, swung his long sword, and a storm of sharp blades swept over, and the Jin soldiers fell to the ground one after another.
Duan Tianyang took the opportunity to cross the bodies lying in disorder, swinging his long sword repeatedly, stabbing, picking, chopping, and slashing, each strike was accurate, and the Jin army was harvested like grass under his sword. He cut a bloody path and quickly fled the scene.
"Chase him! Don't let Duan Tianyang run away!" The shouts of the Jin army came one after another. They chased him relentlessly, but the complex terrain in the town provided a natural barrier for Duan Tianyang.
He shuttled through narrow alleys, used buildings as cover, and easily escaped the pursuit of the Jin army.
However, when Duan Tianyang rushed out of the town, the scene before him made his heart tighten.
On the flat wilderness, the dense Jin army spread out like locusts. He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and rushed forward with his sword.
"Kill!" The Jin army shouted in unison, and long spears and lances stabbed like a forest. Duan Tianyang was agile, moving through the rain of spears and lances like a ghost.
As several sharp sword lights cut through the sky, several Jin soldiers fell to the ground with blood gushing from their chests.
At the same time, He Duan also chased after Duan Tianyang from behind, and he roared loudly: "Get out of the way!"
He made way for a passage among the Jin army, and with vigorous steps, he took two steps at a time and instantly leaped behind Duan Tianyang. The black mace in his hand smashed down with a sound of breaking wind.
Duan Tianyang reacted quickly and drew his sword back to block. The two weapons collided with each other, making a deafening "clang" sound. Amid the clanging of metal, Duan Tianyang was shocked and leaned forward. He knocked three Jin soldiers away like an arrow and rolled for several meters before stopping.
This was exactly what he wanted. Before he could turn around, he saw Duan Tianyang jump up and his long sword turned into a silver lightning, instantly cutting off the heads of two Jin soldiers. Then he stretched out his body and continued to break out.
Upon seeing this, He Duan became furious and chased after him relentlessly. His figure followed him like a shadow, approaching Duan Tianyang's back again.
This time, he extended his black mace forward, aiming directly at the vital spot on Duan Tianyang's back.
Duan Tianyang moved to the side as the black mace brushed past him, leaving only a crisp sound of armor being cut through and the pain of the skin on his ribs being torn.
Before the opponent could launch another attack, Duan Tianyang quickly clamped the black mace under his ribs, and slashed He Duan's neck with a backhanded knife. His counterattack was so fast and fierce that He Duan broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly lowered his head to dodge.
Duan Tianyang took this opportunity to break free from He Duan's entanglement again and rushed towards the dense forest outside the Jin army.
His goal was clear - as long as he rushed into the dense forest, his chances of escape would be greatly increased.
However, how easy would it be to fight his way out of the huge crowd of Jin troops when he was seriously injured?
After several exchanges, He Duan had already seen through Duan Tianyang's fatigue. He laughed inwardly, thinking that the other party was at the end of his strength and just wanted to escape.
So, he pursued him more recklessly and approached Duan Tianyang from behind again. This time, he gave up the Xuan Mace and hit Duan Tianyang on the back of the head with a heavy punch.
Although the Divine Realm suffered heavy losses in this national war, the Jin army failed to capture or kill the enemy's senior generals, especially those above the level of legion commander.
If Duan Tianyang, the commander-in-chief of the Hongxing Army, could be captured alive, his achievement would be immeasurable. After all, Duan Tianyang's level was far beyond that of an ordinary legion commander.
With this in mind, killing Duan Tianyang would be a great pleasure, but if he could be captured alive, the achievement would be even greater.
He Duan was eager to achieve success and naturally did not want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
But because of his greed, he fell into Duan Tianyang's plan.
Just when He Duan's heavy punch was about to hit Duan Tianyang's back of the head, he suddenly retracted his force, and the fist turned into a light palm.
Just imagine, if this punch with armor was delivered, Duan Tianyang, who had no armor to protect him, would surely lose his life.
But in this subtle transition, Duan Tianyang's body suddenly dropped and slipped away like a loach, and He's short palm only passed over his head.
Before he could stop, Duan Tianyang had grabbed his wrist like lightning. At the same time, the Devouring Ring was activated, greedily devouring the true energy in He Duan's body.
He Duan's face suddenly changed, and he tried to pull his hand back in horror, but it was in vain.
At the same time, the long sword in Duan Tianyang's hand turned into thousands of silver threads, dense like a spider web, tightly binding the two of them. No matter how hard they struggled, it was of no avail.
