Chapter 374 The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was almost captured!

"Puff..." With a dull sound, Gao Yao's extremely sharp sword chopped into the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's shoulder like lightning! In an instant, a heart-wrenching pain came like a tide, as if it was going to swallow up the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's soul. The pain was so intense that he almost couldn't help but scream out loud, but reason told him not to do so.

At this moment, Gao Yao did not relax at all because he had successfully hit the opponent. He quickly freed up one of his hands and drew the world-famous Chixiao Sword from his waist at lightning speed. The sword flashed with cold light, like a ferocious poisonous snake, and in a flash, it chopped fiercely towards the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's head.

Although the severe pain from his shoulder was almost unbearable for the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, his instinctive reaction developed from years of life and death trials still allowed him to respond at the critical moment. He endured the pain and without hesitation, he drew out the long sword from his waist and tried his best to block it.

All I heard was a series of crisp collision sounds, "ding... crack...", followed by the sound of metal breaking.

The next moment, the scene that shocked the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan happened again - the sword in his hand was once again overwhelmed and broke! In this brief moment, due to the extremely close distance, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan finally saw the sword in Gao Yao's hand clearly. After seeing this, even he, who was always calm and composed, couldn't help but be slightly startled.

"What! This is Chi Xiao?" At this moment, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan showed an incredible look on his face when he saw the weapon in Gao Yao's hand, and he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. Almost subconsciously, his body reacted quickly and tried to dodge to the side. However, at this moment, the big knife that chopped on his right shoulder was like a heavy yoke, greatly restricting his movements.

In a flash, the extremely sharp Chixiao Sword slashed down towards Yi Xiaochuan fiercely. Seeing that there was no escape and his life was at stake, Yi Xiaochuan gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain in his right arm, and raised his left arm without hesitation to block the fatal blow.

There was a muffled sound of "puff", and blood spurted out like a fountain, splashing on the ground around, forming shocking blood flowers. The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's half left arm was cut off by Gao Yao's sharp sword, and the broken arm was bloody and horrible.

But at this critical moment, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan used his arm to block the attack, causing the attack angle of the Red Sky Sword to change subtly. Coupled with the force generated by his body leaning back quickly, the sword that was originally enough to rip him open only left a deep, horrible wound on his chest that was so deep that the bone could be seen.

The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was so surprised for a reason. He had gone through countless reincarnations and collected many famous weapons used by emperors and generals. Among them, the Chixiao Sword was the best among these weapons. As for this legendary sword, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan fully understood its birth and the subsequent process.

The so-called "Slaying the White Snake to Start an Uprising" was just a rumor that was spread at the time. As for the Chixiao Sword that was said to be so magical, it was actually just a carefully forged sword. However, as Liu Bang eventually ascended the throne and became an emperor, the reputation of the Chixiao Sword became more and more prominent.

But what is little known is that the Chixiao Sword that was truly passed down was actually the sword that Liu Bang remelted after he ascended the throne. To put it bluntly, this was nothing more than a decoration to show the emperor's majesty. So Liu Bang recruited skilled craftsmen from all over the world to recast it, and only then did he create the Chixiao Sword that later became famous all over the world.

Although the two Chixiao swords look exactly the same, their interiors are very different. The former may be just an ordinary sword, while the latter can be called a true divine weapon, a rare treasure!

The key question that shocked and surprised the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan the most was this! That is, how on earth could Gao Yao obtain the real Chixiao Sword that would only appear in the world several years later, and use it to participate in this fierce battle? What incredible means did Gao Yao use to achieve this amazing feat?

Even the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan himself, who had experienced countless reincarnations, could only bring back the memories in his mind after each reincarnation. Apart from that, no other items could be brought back from the past. However, the fact was there - Gao Yao had successfully brought objects from the future to the present and used them!

This series of unimaginable events undoubtedly brought a huge shock to the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, causing his originally calm state of mind to begin to waver. At this moment, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan could not afford to think too much. If he was not careful, Gao Yao might really take his life. In a flash, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan suddenly exerted force with his right hand and threw the broken spear in his hand straight at Gao Yao's head like lightning!

In an instant, a sharp sound of "Shua..." suddenly rang out! Because the distance between the two sides was too close, although Gao Yao reacted quickly and tried his best to dodge, his cheek was unfortunately scratched by the tip of the gun, leaving a deep blood mark in an instant!

At this critical moment, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan seized the opportunity and kicked the horse's head with all his strength. There was a loud "bang...", like thunder in the sky, deafening. The horse was in great pain and let out a miserable neigh. Its huge body lost balance in an instant, and Gao Yao, who was riding on its back, fell to the ground with it.

Seeing this, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan turned his horse around without hesitation, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, pulled the reins in his hands, and the horse galloped away like an arrow from a bow, heading straight for his own camp. At the same time, he shouted: "Attack! Attack! All-out attack!" The sound resounded through the sky and echoed over the entire battlefield.

As the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan gave the order, his soldiers burst out with endless fighting spirit and courage like a ignited gunpowder barrel. They shouted slogans, waved their weapons, took firm and powerful steps, and launched a new round of fierce charge towards the county town without hesitation. For a while, the shouts of killing and the sound of horse hooves resounded through the world, as if to tear the land apart.

At this time, Gao Yao, who had just climbed up from the ground with difficulty, looked at Yi Xiaochuan's back as he walked away, his face terribly gloomy. He could never have imagined that in such a dangerous and almost desperate situation, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan could have such an amazing move, not only successfully escaped, but even organized troops to launch a counterattack. Gao Yao's unwillingness surged in his heart like a tide.

However, Gao Yao did not slow down at all after he stood up, and immediately rode back to the city. Although Gao Yao did not achieve his biggest goal at this time, it was still good now. At least he had dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the imperial army, and also seriously injured the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan.

"Boom boom boom... Boom boom boom!" The deafening sound of the war drums resounded through the sky like thunder, as if the earth was shaking. As the exciting drumbeats sounded, a thrilling siege battle once again began.

At the same time, at the other three gates of the city, the fierce battle was almost over. The reason for such a one-sided situation was largely due to the mysterious black gunpowder. This weapon, which was derived from an ancient formula, was too advanced and unfamiliar to the soldiers living in ancient times. They had never seen such a powerful force, and it was impossible to control it with human power alone.

Although the actual lethality of black powder may not be as great as people imagine - each explosion can only kill four or five enemies at most, affecting a dozen people, but the deterrent effect it brings is unparalleled. Even those experienced and elite Northern Army soldiers were frightened to death when faced with this sudden and terrifying weapon, and even lost the courage to attack and began to retreat.

Gao Yao, standing on the city wall, watched the imperial army surge in like a tide, getting closer and closer to him. A trace of determination and ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he reached out and grabbed a can of ignited black powder without hesitation. He took a deep breath, then exerted force suddenly, and threw the can in his hand like a cannonball towards the area where the enemy troops were most concentrated.

"Boom! Boom!..." Accompanied by earth-shattering roars, Gao Yao's terrifying power was fully displayed. The jar he threw hit the ground like a meteor, and the moment it violently collided with the hard ground, it triggered a series of violent explosions almost without delay. Flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and the entire battlefield was shrouded in a terrifying scene.

The explosions were deafening, as if the end of the world had come. The imperial army, which was attacking fiercely, was frightened by the sudden explosion and didn't know what to do. Their originally tight and orderly charge formation suddenly became chaotic, and the soldiers were terrified and stopped involuntarily.

At the same time, a large number of arrows shot from the city walls fell densely like raindrops, bringing greater pressure and threats to the imperial army. These arrows were accurately shot at the enemy camp, some hitting the soldiers' bodies, and some penetrating armor, causing heavy casualties.
