His right calf flew up, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the joint, filling the air with a strong smell of blood.

"ah!"

A painful scream escaped Lian Zhen's lips uncontrollably; he could no longer maintain his balance.

With a loud thud, Lian Zhen fell heavily to the ground.

"Hoo—" Zhang Liao exhaled a breath of turbid air, took a step forward, and without giving Lian Zhen a chance to get up, he gripped the crescent halberd and leaped into the air.

As Lian Zhen lay on the ground, what he saw through his rapidly shrinking pupils was a crescent-shaped halberd aimed directly at his face!

"No........!"

Before the shout could be fully uttered, the halberd tip had already pierced down!

"puff"

The long, slender tip of the halberd pierced straight into Lian Zhen's brow!

"snort!"

Zhang Liao snorted coldly, twisted the long handle, and the tip of the halberd crushed Lian Zhen's brain into powder. Then, with a swift movement, he severed Lian Zhen's neck with a single stroke.

"I'll give your head to Lian Xiaoru!"

Lifting the severed head, Zhang Liao charged forward once more...

——

"Rustle, rustle, rustle"

In a city alley, crossbow bolts were constantly being fired, and many corpses had already piled up on the ground.

The remaining people were fighting fiercely, and the soldiers defending the city were frantically drawing their bows and arrows, no longer bothering to aim.

Their enemies used lighter crossbows, whose spring mechanisms would fire bolts in rapid succession once the spring was activated.

They came fast! And ruthlessly!

In this situation, they were completely unable to organize an effective attack, and as a result, many people had already died from crossbow bolts.

But that's not all; these enemies are also very strong in close combat!

Once they close the distance, it will be difficult to stop their blade from falling!

Amidst the fierce battle, a thunderous shout echoed from afar!

"Lian Zhen is dead!"

"Lian Xiaoru, why don't you bring your head to me!"

The sound of the command made the already fearful defenders even more hesitant, and some even began to retreat.

"Don't even think about leaving this place!"

"Come on, let's fight to our hearts' content!"

A loud shout rang out from the back of the city alley; it was Gao Shun, and the Trapped Camp had also joined the battle!

P.S.: The biggest cold wave of the year is here, please take care to keep warm and avoid catching a cold.

Everyone's using all sorts of ingenious methods to keep warm, haha. I've already reached minus ten degrees Celsius. (Sad)

Good night, sweet dreams (?′?`?)
