"team leader!"

Mo Ziyun shouted softly.

Lu Cheng turned around and his thoughts were back on track.

"I have a way here, it's very simple! Let Princess Kunlun fight with you. If she beats you, you can join the action!"

Lu Cheng said casually.

"By the way, if you lose, you can practice for two more hours every day after returning to the base!"

He then added.

Just as Mo Ziyun's expression calmed down, he suddenly frowned again.

"Winning or losing, you have to think about it!"

Lu Cheng patted his shoulder.

—————————————————————————————————————

The next morning, in front of the palace hall of Kunlun City, everyone from the Sky Shield Pioneers formed a circle. Lu Cheng stood on the jade steps and scanned the entire place.

Mo Ziyun and Ayimu walked out from the left and right sides, and when they were about ten steps away, they bowed to each other.

"Zheng—"

Mo Ziyun unsheathed his swords.

Ayimu's long sword is guarded on the chest.

"let's start!"

Lu Cheng glanced at the rising sun in the sky and stretched out his hand to block the sun.

A stern expression appeared on Ayimu's face, and he thrust out the sword first.

Mo Ziyun's double swords reflected a golden light in the air, drew an arc, and held Ayimu's sword steadily.

The latter immediately retaliated, turned around, and stabbed Mo Ziyun with his long sword several times in a row, all of them piercing Mo Ziyun's vitals.

But Mo Ziyun just kept retreating, intercepting from time to time with the two swords in his hands.

"Wow, this princess's swordsmanship is really amazing. Mo Ziyun looks like he can only parry!"

Lu Mingyun glanced at Lu Cheng and said.

"Really? I hope so!"

Zhao Tianning still looked indifferent.

On the top of the palace city, Shen Rong and Song Beichen stood side by side, both of their eyes focused on the arena.

"Commander, I have seen this Mo Ziyun's kung fu. It is at least on par with the princess's. Moreover, he also knows illusions, but I don't know why he doesn't use them."

Song Beichen said doubtfully.

"If it were you, would you embarrass a girl who is willing to go to the battlefield with you and live and die together?"

Shen Rong raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

"What? The princess is going to the battlefield? Who is the enemy?"

Song Beichen was immediately shocked.

"Sand Devil!"

Shen Rong replied.

—————————————————————————————————————

The battle in front of the palace was still going on. Mo Ziyun retreated all the way, beads of sweat falling from his forehead.

Suddenly, someone behind him stretched out his hand and pushed him away. Mo Ziyun blocked Ayimu's sword with a knife, turned his eyes, and then realized that he had retreated in front of Lu Mingyun.

"Xiao Mo, that's it. Don't embarrass our Sky Shield Pioneers."

Ning Tianhan reminded.

"I...I really can't beat..."

Mo Ziyun was a little embarrassed and quickly explained.

At this moment, Ayimu's long sword stabbed his face again. Mo Ziyun rolled to avoid it, stood up, and swung out his two swords.

Ayimu immediately changed his moves to block the blow, then flew up with his kick and kicked Mo Ziyun firmly on the chest.

The latter suddenly flew out and landed on the ground.

Ayi Mu stepped forward, the sword pointed at his throat.

Lu Cheng's eyes suddenly opened, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, yes, Princess Kunlun has extraordinary skills. She even defeated our Xiao Mo."

"How can this be!"

Zhao Tianning's face looked a little ugly.

Xiao Chu gently pulled him.

Mo Ziyun stood up, looked at Ayimu affectionately, then bowed and came to Lu Cheng.

"Captain, the outcome has been decided! I am no match for Princess Kunlun! Captain, please honor your previous promise."

"Of course, this captain will never break his promise! But I will fulfill my promise, and you must also remember what you promised me! Practice more!"

Lu Cheng replied.

"certainly!"

Mo Ziyun nodded with a smile on his face.

—————————————————————————————————————

After the competition, everyone returned to their residences.

"Everyone, all the personnel involved in the operation have been confirmed. Only the movements of the Sand Demon army are left! Xiao Chu, Jin Song, how are your efforts going?"

Lu Cheng asked, holding a teacup and sitting on a chair.

"The situation has been identified. The sand demon army will attack the oasis area southwest of Kunlun City around five o'clock this afternoon! There are about a dozen villages there, and they are all one of the richest areas in Kunlun Kingdom."

Xiao Chu replied.

"Well! So, we need to set off at noon! It's not easy to face the scorching sun, so everyone must be prepared to endure hardships!"

Lu Cheng reminded.

"What is this? We, the Sky Shield Pioneers, have been through many mountains and seas of fire over the years! When the sky fell, there were tall men, and now we are the tallest tall men on the earth! Only by destroying the sand demon and taking back the Sky-Mending Stone, can Kunlun City survive

Only the tens of millions of people in the entire Tiannan Basin can be saved!"

Zhao Tianning said seriously.

"Very good! Everyone, let's go get ready! We will have lunch in an hour and then set off according to the previous arrangements!"

An hour later, Lu Cheng led his subordinates to the avenue in front of Miyagi City, preparing to make a final statement before departure.

At this time, Song Beichen came over with a group of burly soldiers wearing heavy armor.

"Mr. Lu, under the command of the commander-in-chief, we will assist you in your actions!"

Song Beichen arched his hands.

"Thank you Marshal Shen for your kindness, but this operation..."

Lu Cheng explained immediately.

"Of course we know the risks of action, but because of this, we have to go even more! First of all, it is our responsibility to defend Kunlun City and its subordinate territories, and secondly, protecting the safety of the princess is what we must do!"

Song Beichen interrupted Lu Cheng and replied.

"Okay! In that case, you should act together with Ning Tianhan and the others!"

Lu Cheng sighed and motioned for Ning Tianhan to stand up.

"General Song, it's an honor to fight alongside you again!"

Ning Tianhan said with a smile.

After everyone formed the team, they immediately separated and set off. At this time, above the palace city, one eye was staring at the big flag flying behind Song Beichen.

—————————————————————————————————————

"Old Chen, have you really seen clearly? What Song Beichen took away was Shen Rong's personal guard camp?"

Wang Jing squinted his eyes and sat in a chair, wiping his sword in his hand.

"Reporting to the deputy commander, it is absolutely true. Among the hundreds of people Song Beichen took away, half were from his elite Mo Dao battalion and half were from Shen Rong's personal guard battalion. It is said that they wanted to protect Princess Kunlun this time, so they did not

Dare to neglect!"

Lieutenant Chen stood in front of Wang Jing. His face was wrapped in thick bandages. It was obvious that he was seriously injured when the sand monster entered the city that day.

After the war, Shen Rong wanted to behead him in public, but Wang Jing replaced him on the execution ground with another death row prisoner.

Now he has no military position and no identity. He is like a ghost, but he is loyal to Wang Jing who rescued him many times.

"Hmph! When I first came here five years ago, I persuaded Shen Rong to kill Princess Kunlun and take complete control of Kunlun City. Unfortunately, he didn't listen. Now this bitch is messing around again, but he has pushed himself to the cliff. It’s on the edge!”

Wang Jing snorted coldly.

"Deputy Commander! Now..."

Colonel Chen asked tentatively.

"Don't worry, when Song Beichen walks far away, we will kick on the edge of the cliff again, and Shen Rong will be doomed! Humph, aren't those guys going to stab the Sand Demon in the heart? Then I am also in Kunlun City. stab him in the heart!"

A trace of cruelty flashed across Wang Jing's face.

—————————————————————————————————————

North of Kunlun City, black mist filled the Tianshan Mountains, and it was even more difficult to see in the valley at the foot of the mountain.

Black Wind Valley, the legendary lair of the Sand Demon, is also home to countless sand monsters. The army of these sand monsters hunts wantonly in the Gobi, deserts, oases, and villages all year round, leaving no grass growing wherever they pass.

And this is even more so in this place where they live together all year round.

"Tick-tick-"

There was water dripping from the cliff of the canyon, and a wolf-shaped sand monster jumped down from the boulder in the distance and ran towards this rare water source.

Although they are also monsters made of yellow sand and their bodies do not need water, they still retain some animal instincts deep in their souls and still have a desire for water.

Just when the wolf-shaped sand monster reached the target and opened its bloody mouth, on the other side, a huge bear-shaped sand monster pounced down, and the wolf was killed with one huge bear paw. Fan aside.

The latter lay on the ground, confused for a moment, then shook his head, stood up again, and turned to the murderer who had just attacked him, his eyes suddenly revealed a fierce light.

"Ouch—"

As the sound of howling wolves sounded, dozens of identical wolf-shaped sand monsters immediately gathered behind them.

Under the call of the wounded wolf, the pack of wolves advanced, rushing towards the unruly bear like a tide.

The two sides fought, and the giant bear's body was bitten to pieces from time to time, and yellow sand was splashed out. However, his bear paws and sharp claws also moved from time to time. Every time he bumped into a wolf, he knocked the other wolf into pieces.

—————————————————————————————————————

"Captain, these monsters are fighting on their own!"

On the cliff, Lu Mingyun was hiding in the dark, observing and reporting.

"This also shows that these guys are aggressive by nature! We must be careful!"

Lu Cheng replied, turning his eyes and looking at the people behind him.

"Xiao Chu! Let's clear the place first!"

"Um!"

Xiao Chu stood up, walked a few steps on the gentle slope of the cliff, and jumped into the canyon.

"Ouch—"
Chapter completed!
