I Don't Know Martial Art Chapter 195

Chapter 195 - Enemy Spies

Xiang Tian's order left the deputy general dumbstruck. Only after a long while did he wake up from his shock and speak with a face full of disbelief.

"Marshal, is it too …"

The general did not dare to finish his sentence. His meaning was naturally that even though these two people were obstructing the advance of the great army, killing the commoners so casually was not too heartless. This was not how Xiang Tian used to be; he loved his people like his children.

When Xiang Tian heard this, his gaze focused as he turned his head to look at that deputy general.

The deputy general's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he immediately replied, "Yes! This subordinate will immediately send the order! "

The deputy general was well aware of Xiang Tian's military discipline. The moment he saw the look in his eyes, he knew what the latter meant.

He did not dare to say another word and directly accepted the order. Although the latter still had a lot of doubts in her heart, the military order was like a mountain. Soldiers had to carry it out!

Immediately, the deputy general came to the front of the army. Looking at the crying old farmer and the unlucky rich one, he gave the order without any hesitation.

"Men, take these two on the spot!"

"Hmm?"

As soon as this order was given, all the soldiers widened their eyes. They looked at each other and thought they had heard wrong. No one moved for a while.

"Hmph, I told you to take these two on the spot, didn't you hear? Execute the command!" The deputy general bellowed and glanced at the soldiers who were clearing the path!

"Yes sir!"

This time, the soldiers were finally certain of the orders given by the deputy general. Even though their hearts were filled with doubt and disbelief, they were well-trained and would never violate any of the orders.

In the next moment, four soldiers came forward and took down the old farmer and the rich man at the same time!

"Hey, military men, what are you doing? Why are you executing us? What did we do wrong? Why are you trying to kill us?!"

After the rich man was captured by the two soldiers, he immediately panicked. His fat face was full of panic as his body shrunk!

That old farmer also cried out in grief, "Aiya, why did you want to kill me, this old man? I'm here to deliver something to you. I didn't break the law, I beg you, don't kill me!"

"Yes, sir soldier. We don't dare to stand in our way anymore. Let me go, I'll leave immediately. Please don't kill me!" Earthen Lord began to howl as well!

Hearing the cries of the two, the soldiers of Western Paradise also felt a sense of discomfort. They also felt that the two of them weren't wrong.

Especially that old farmer who was kind enough to send them gifts. If he was executed on the spot just because he was in the way, it would be a bit too heartless.

At this moment, there were many citizens who had come to welcome the army. Many of them saw what was going on, and some of them were even trying to persuade the two to make way for the army to enter the city.

When this order was issued, everyone was dumbfounded!

"Execute the execution immediately! This is the Marshal's order!"

The deputy general riding a large horse ordered with a cold expression. Even if he couldn't bear it, he definitely wouldn't disobey the military order!

"Yes sir!"

The soldiers accepted the order again, and two soldiers drew their sabers and stepped forward!

This scene immediately caused the surrounding citizens to cry out in alarm. They originally thought that the deputy general's order just now was just to scare the two of them and get them out of the way.

Who would have thought that at this moment, the armored warriors would draw their swords and kill!

For a moment, the citizens on both sides of the road were filled with terror as they hurriedly retreated backwards. The old farmer and rich man then started to wail and curse at the same time!

"What dog s.h.i.+t, side by side with the king? What war G.o.d of the Wind Cloud Nation, he's a reckless human being, regardless of whether he's right or wrong! This time, he's leading an army into the country and it's a disaster for the three counties!"

The two of them loudly cursed at Xiang Tian, and their insults instantly ignited the fury of the two Saber-wielding Armored Soldiers.

In the entire northwest, which soldier did not wors.h.i.+p Xiang Tian as a G.o.d? In their hearts, Xiang Tian held even more importance than he did in the hearts of the commoners!

Hearing their insults, the two soldiers looked at each other. A cold light flashed across their eyes. Their long blades cut down in a flash, bringing with it a fishy smell.

However, just as the blades of the two were about to land on the necks of the old farmer and tyc.o.o.n.

The two men who had been crying and cursing with an aggrieved look on their faces suddenly released a powerful aura from their bodies at the same time, shaking off the few soldiers beside them.

Both of them raised their hands at the same time and released a wave of energy, sending their blades flying. They actually stood up and turned around to the side of the road, where a field of wheat flew past them.

The two of them looked ordinary, but both of them had reached the yellow cloud realm and were experts that could release cloud energy.

At this moment, as they rose up, the two of them tore apart their long robes and clothes, revealing themselves to the public. They were wearing the battle robes of the j.a.panese soldiers, a sleeveless black battle robe!

The two of them were actually from the Rising Sun Nation!

The sudden change caused the faces of all the onlookers to turn pale with fright.

When had these commoners ever seen such a scene? They were people that came and went like G.o.ds, leaping several tens of feet into the air. Furthermore, they were even two people that had reached perfection in their country.

And now, with such an unexpected turn of events, the formidable ability of the Western Liangliang Army to adapt had been demonstrated.

Almost at the same instant the aura of the two of them was released, the deputy general riding on a large horse realized that something was wrong and immediately gave the order!

"Array formation, bow!"

In the next moment, the army's vanguard, the s.h.i.+eld soldiers, rapidly moved forward, forming a steel barrier. As the s.h.i.+eld soldiers moved, so did the archers.

Archers nocked in between the s.h.i.+eld-bearers and nocked their bows. Thousands of arrowheads protruded from between each square s.h.i.+eld. The soldiers' line of sight, together with the arrows and the three holes, were aimed at the target!

"Release the arrows!"

The deputy general gave the order again!

"Swoosh swoosh swoos.h.!.+"

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of arrows filled the air, the sound of rain tearing through the air resonated through the skies. Countless arrows brought with them a sharp and fierce momentum, blotting out the sky as they flew towards the two people who were trying to escape!

Seeing this, both of them spoke at the same time in a language that no one understood. In the next moment, two long blades appeared in their hands.

The long blade looked extremely strange. It had a black hilt, a long blade, and a slightly curved blade. It was also a single blade!

"Swoosh swoos.h.!.+"

The moment the long sabers in their hands were pulled out, both of them turned around at the same time!

Facing the rain of arrows, the two of them responded calmly. The long blade drew many afterimages in front of them. It was like a windmill, blocking the rain of arrows.

"Clang clang clang!"

All of a sudden, the arrows. .h.i.t the sabre and the sound of metal clas.h.i.+ng rang out. Sparks flew everywhere!

The two foreign figures dressed in the robes of a j.a.panese Warrior. They looked at each other at the same time, their eyes filled with amazement!

As they faced the endless rain of arrows, they realized that the arrows shot by the soldiers in front of them were actually several times more powerful than the arrows shot by the soldiers in the past!

Such strength must at least have the cultivation of a Four Clouds martial artist at the very least to achieve it. The power of an arrow shot by an ordinary person and a martial artist would naturally differ by heaven and earth!

Although the two of them were blocking the rain of arrows, their palms were already numb and their arms were trembling. Even though they were Yellow Cloud Realm martial artists, it was still difficult for them to block such a powerful rain of arrows!

Just as the two of them were panic-stricken, two loud explosions suddenly rang out in the air. They immediately heard the whistling of the wind as it rapidly approached the two of them!

Both of them looked over in shock. They saw that there were two giant arrows as thick as adult's arms inside the s.h.i.+eld formed by the army in the distance.

It actually brought along two streaks of red light as it streaked across the sky with lightning speed. In a blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the two of them!

The two men's faces turned pale with fright as they hastily brandished their sabers to block. However, the moment the sabers touched the arrows, they were sent flying by a tyrannical force. In the next moment, their bodies violently shook!

Blood splattered as a hole the size of a fist appeared in their chest at the same time. Blood gushed out like a fountain as the two of them landed heavily on the ground.

In front of the army, the deputy general looked at the two people who were falling. The deputy general's face did not change at all. He waved his hand and ordered, "Bring the two people up!"

Immediately, soldiers quickly brought the two men to the side of the deputy general. The only difference was that they were now two lifeless corpses.

"General Feng, there is a poison sac hidden in their mouths. They have already committed suicide by taking the poison. They did not bring anything with them, so they should be spies sent by the Star-Seizing Empire!"

As the soldiers spoke, they used their hands to pry open the mouths of the two soldiers.

The deputy general frowned and ordered, "Deal with these two corpses immediately and make way for the army to pa.s.s through!"

As for him, he immediately rushed back to report the situation to Xiang Tian. The latter only indifferently nodded his head, clearly having already expected this to happen.

The deputy general had already turned his horse, ready to return to his post, but he was still unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart, so he opened his mouth to ask.

"Marshal, this subordinate dares to ask, how exactly did you guess that these two people were j.a.panese spies?"

From start to finish, Xiang Tian had been in the middle of the army, and he was only a few kilometers away from the vanguard. How had he been able to determine that the two of them were spies?

When Xiang Tian heard this, he smiled indifferently, "If the owner of the carriage was really an ordinary landlord, not to mention that they are travelling from the south to the north, why would there be a faint salty smell on his body? Only people who live by the sea all year round would have this sort of smell."

"And since that old farmer is a farmer and his feet are not even stained with mud, how could he possibly be an ordinary farmer?"

"It should be that the South Island and the Rising Sun Nation knew that we had come. They want to send someone to test us."

When the deputy general heard this, he was first stunned before he came to a sudden realization. He had observed some of the details just now. However, he did not swiftly a.s.sociate them with each other. The two of them could be spies from other countries.

"Aiya, so that's how it is. Marshal is indeed wise!"

"But Marshal, these two people have already committed suicide by consuming poison. We don't have any other clues. We can only blame this lowly general for not making a move in time. If we take them down earlier, we can leave them alive."

The deputy general was somewhat regretful. Why didn't he personally act just now?

Xiang Tian, on the other hand, waved his hand, his expression calm, but his tone had turned ice-cold.

"It doesn't matter. I never thought of leaving anyone alive. Since these two countries have never been reasonable to our Windcloud Nation, then I also want to give it a try if they want to be tougher than us!"

Hearing this, the deputy general instantly revealed an expression of excitement. He knew what Xiang Tian meant; he wanted to use lightning-fast methods on these two small countries to let them know what pain was!

After which, the deputy general looked at Xiang Tian with a gaze of reverence before bowing at the horse. Only after he had left his seat did the deputy general suddenly recall of something.

"Eh, that's not right. The two people's characteristics mentioned by the marshal were indeed accurate, but how could he see them when the marshal was not around?"

The deputy general thought for a while and finally came to a shocking conclusion. The marshal's cultivation base must have reached an unimaginable height. Everything that had happened in front of the army just now was right under the marshal's nose.

"How is this possible!"

For a time, the deputy general was shocked and fearful, but at the same time, there was a sincere admiration. With such a wise general with extraordinary strength, how could he not be able to win the battle?
