In this battle against the monster, Champion Marquis was in dire straits, facing numerous dangers and nearly losing his life.

He knew in his heart that this great defeat was largely due to Wu Tian and Wu Hanchun deserting with a portion of the city's defense troops.

Wu Tian's heinous act, like a plague, quickly shook the morale of the army, causing even the Demon Suppression Army, known for its fierce fighting spirit, to lose its composure, its formation to fall apart, and its combat effectiveness to plummet.

Of course, the champion Hou also understood that the real reason for his crushing defeat was his own lack of strength.

But he has always been proud and arrogant, so how could he easily admit his mistakes?

In his view, all his failures were other people's fault, because those around him had failed in their responsibilities, which led him into such a predicament.

...

At this very moment, City Lord Wu Tian and Wu Hanchun, under the strict escort of nearly two hundred elite city defense soldiers, hurriedly fled to the city gate of Tianyi City.

Just then, Fang Han and Tantai Qiuyue, along with a group of people from the Demon Suppression Division, were preparing to enter the city.

Fang Han, with his sharp eyes, spotted Wu Tian, ​​Wu Hanchun, and the others at a glance. His gaze sharpened, and he instantly spurred his horse to block their path, coldly asking, "City Lord Wu, why are you fleeing in such a panic? What exactly happened?"

Upon seeing Fang Han, Wu Tian's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned deathly pale. However, being an old fox, he quickly regained his composure and feigned extreme anxiety and grief, saying to Fang Han, "Mr. Fang, something terrible has happened! After you left, the horde of demonic beasts surged in like a tidal wave, surrounding us completely. Although the Demon Suppression Army and the city defense forces fought desperately, they were ultimately outnumbered and couldn't withstand the beasts' frenzied attacks. I barely managed to fight my way out with my daughter amidst the overwhelming onslaught of the beasts and escape. Now, I've come back specifically to fetch reinforcements, Mr. Fang, please hurry and save the Marquis, or it will be too late!"

Wu Tian's words were eloquent and persuasive, but he knew in his heart that he was nothing more than a coward who was afraid of death and would desert in the face of battle.

But he would never admit this fact. In his view, as long as the reasons he made up were perfect enough, he could get away with it.

Upon hearing his words, Fang Han's lips curled into a mocking smile. He coldly said, "You broke through the encirclement to fetch reinforcements? City Lord Wu, that's hard to believe. Your strength is far below that of the Champion Marquis, yet he couldn't return, while you came back unharmed. You must have escaped."

Wu Tian was speechless after being choked by Fang Han's words, and stammered, "This...this..."

He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but didn't know where to begin.

He knew that under normal circumstances, even if Fang Han was the chief guest of the Demon Suppression Division and held a prestigious position, there was not much he could do against him. After all, as the city lord, he also had a certain amount of power and prestige in the city. But the situation was different now.

During this period, monsters roamed freely, and Tianyi City was in grave danger. As the city lord, he should have taken the lead and led the soldiers and civilians in resisting the monsters. However, he was afraid of death and deserted his post. If Fang Han punished him for his poor performance in dealing with the monsters, or even executed him without prior notice, he would be helpless.

Therefore, at this moment he was filled with fear of Fang Han, and his heart was filled with unease, fearing that Fang Han would immediately attack him.

Moreover, he did indeed abandon the Champion Marquis of the Demon Suppression Army and secretly ran away. If this got out, he would be completely disgraced.

Fang Han looked at Wu Tian's guilty expression and understood what was going on.

He snorted coldly and said in a chilling tone, "I'll go check the situation first, then I'll settle accounts with you."

Having said that, he had a sudden thought, and his figure instantly transformed into a streak of light, disappearing from the sight of City Lord Wu Tian and Wu Hanchun.

Wu Tian and the others were left standing there, looking at each other in disbelief, their hearts filled with fear and unease.

"It would be best if this guy and Champion Marquis both became food for the monsters, then no one could control us."

After Fang Han left, Wu Hanchun whispered.

"He can control a sword, which means he has reached the Divine Sense Realm. As long as it's not a beast tide, ordinary demonic beasts can't do anything to him. If he wants to travel by sword, even a beast king-level demonic beast can't catch up with him."

Wu Tiandao.

He realized that he had underestimated Fang Han's strength.

He originally thought Fang Han was weaker than the Champion Marquis, but now he realized that Fang Han's strength far surpassed that of the Champion Marquis.

He became increasingly worried, after all, he had now offended even the Marquis of Champion.

If the Marquis of Champions were to return alive, he would probably tear him apart alive.

...

Fang Han stepped onto the black iron longsword, his figure as fast as lightning, riding the sword at breakneck speed, transforming into a sharp streak of light, flying towards the North Mountain.

During the flight, Fang Han's eyes were sharp as he keenly scanned his surroundings.

He saw a few scattered, panicked city defense soldiers, their clothes tattered, their faces filled with fear and exhaustion, desperately fleeing towards safety.

Meanwhile, some members of the Demon Suppression Army were also struggling to break through the encirclement. They were all wounded to varying degrees, their clothes stained with blood, and every step they took seemed incredibly heavy.

However, behind these brave warriors was a group of ferocious monsters.

Those monstrous beasts were enormous, with ferocious faces, roaring and baring their fangs, their blood-red eyes gleaming with greed and savagery.

They were like a black tide, relentlessly pursuing these humans, as if they would devour them at any moment.
