Chapter 610: Killing the World Realm

“Crunch, crunch.”

In the alley made of blue-gray bricks and stones, Wei Xianzong's military boots stopped on the snow. He raised his head and squinted at the top of his head.

It is cloudy today, and the sky is sandwiched between the high walls on both sides to form a "slit in the sky".

There was nothing unusual under the clear gray clouds. Wei Xianzong silently withdrew his gaze and subconsciously relaxed his right hand which was resting on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Keep moving forward.

After a while, he turned out of the alley and came to a crossroads. There were imperial soldiers standing guard with spears. When they saw him coming, they saluted and said, "General!"

Wei Xianzong, the former Qingzhou commander and current flag officer, said "Yes" and swept his sharp eyes over his neatly dressed subordinates and asked:

"Is there anything unusual?"

"Nothing unusual!"

"Stay on duty and don't be careless!"

Wei Xianzong said.

Then he took a step forward and continued his patrol along the deserted streets.

As a criminal, he originally served under Zhao Duan on the western front, where he formed a death squad and made great contributions. Later, he followed the army to the eastern front and also fought on the front line.

Although he is far from recovering to his original state, he has been promoted to a middle-level officer.

Responsible for guarding an important place in the city.

But Wei Xianzong felt uneasy today - the Governor's Office issued an order the day before yesterday to intensify defenses in the near future to prevent a surprise attack by the rebels.

As an officer, he obtained more detailed information independently:

The rebels are very likely to send experts to carry out random attacks on the day of the prisoner exchange.

This made Wei Xianzong extremely vigilant.

However, the battle line in the city was long, and no one knew where the rebels might appear from, so Wei Xianzong could only patrol the blocks he was responsible for over and over again.

As the sun rises little by little behind the gray clouds, time passes by little by little.

Wei Xianzong's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and when he patrolled the street corner again, it was time for his soldiers to change shifts.

"General, take a break. You've been patrolling for quite a while."

A flag officer took off the water bag at his waist and handed it to me, saying with a smile:

"You are so dedicated and conscientious that the brothers dare not be distracted."

Wei Xianzong also broke out in a sweat. Upon hearing this, he stretched out his hand to take it, saying:

"We have received orders from above. Governor Zhao will soon take office. The enemy is very likely to make some moves. We must not let our guard down at this time."

The flag officer laughed and said:

"Brothers, we all understand, but it's already this late and there's still no movement..."

He was halfway through his words when something strange happened!

Wei Xianzong's ears moved slightly, and he heard a slight trembling sound of a crossbow in the distance. He turned away almost instinctively.

“Whoosh!”

In the cold wind, a crossbow arrow flashing with cold light came out of the darkness like a snake or scorpion, and hit the water bag handed by the flag officer, which was still hanging in the air.

With a "puff" sound, the water bag exploded and splashed water everywhere.

The crossbow arrow continued to fly through the water bag and hit a soldier's shoulder.

Wei Xianzong's face changed drastically. He drew his sword with a "swoosh" and shouted, "Enemy attack!!!"

With a loud bang.

The soldiers in the main block were all startled and instinctively drew their swords and guns, looking for the enemy.

Wei Xianzong turned his head and saw that in the direction where the crossbow arrows came from, elite rebels wearing light leather armor were rushing out like a tide.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

In an instant, a volley of crossbow arrows was fired, and then the group of enemies rushed forward in unison, holding their swords.

They were extremely fast and well-trained, and each of them was wrapped in a chilling aura.

"Practice martial arts!"

Wei Xianzong's pupils narrowed as he determined that this team was actually a group of mortal monks.

The governor's judgment was correct, the rebels did take advantage of the prisoner exchange to attack.

"kill!"

In an instant, the elite rebels rushed over, and the soldiers of the imperial court reacted a little slowly, but they immediately formed a military formation and fought with the enemy.

Close combat.

As soon as Fu Yi started fighting, brutal street fighting ensued.

Wei Xianzong shouted orders and retreated quickly, breaking away from the fighting between the two sides and retreating to an open area.

At the same time, he held up his knife vigilantly, looking for the local commander with a sharp gaze.

“Crunch, crunch.”

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the side. Wei Xianzong turned his head suddenly and said in a lost voice:

"Bai Ying!"

I saw a general with gray hair wearing armor and a dark red "scarf" tied around his neck, walking towards me from a distance with an expressionless face.

Surprisingly, he was one of the masters among the rebels and one of the two deputy generals under Ye Xin, "White Haired White Eagle"!

After Bai Ying appeared, he did not waste any time, but instead moved faster and faster, approaching Wei Xianzong rapidly, with a round-handled bronze sword in his hand stabbing like lightning.

Wei Xianzong mobilized his energy and raised his sword to fight back.

But at the moment of the sword's collision, his body shook violently like a kite with a broken string, and he flew backwards, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth!

The worldly realm!

Although Wei Xianzong was a commander, his forte was combat, and he had not yet practiced martial arts.

At this moment, he was easily suppressed by Bai Ying. He was beaten to one knee, leaning on one hand on the knife, with messy hair and pale face.

"Oh, I've heard of your name, Wei Xianzong, a long time ago. To be honest, I came here specifically for you.

"If I kill you, Zhao Du'an will feel the pain, right?" Bai Ying smiled, and with the background sound of soldiers from both sides fighting around him, he approached Wei Xianzong step by step with his bronze sword in hand.

Wei Xianzong was dejected and powerless. The huge gap in their realms made it impossible for him to resist.

However, just as Bai Ying stepped within a few feet of Wei Xianzong, Bai Ying, who had already raised the bronze sword, felt an alarm bell ring in his heart!

A strong sense of danger surged into my heart!

Without time to think, he instinctively retreated quickly!

From the corner of his eye, he saw flames suddenly bursting out from the closed windows of several buildings in the distance on both sides, accompanied by loud rumbling sounds.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At this moment, the secondary artillery ambushed at a nearby high point opened fire at full power, and light artillery shells whizzed out one after another.

At many other locations, the hidden gunmen from the Shenjiying Camp pulled the trigger and sent one "bullet" after another towards Bai Ying.

This lunatic... Bai Ying cursed in her heart.

He already understood that Wei Xianzong had actually ordered the artillerymen and gunners hidden nearby to always aim at him...

In this way, wherever Wei Xianzong went, the guns and cannons in the dark would be aimed at him...

As long as Bai Ying wanted to kill Wei Xianzong, he would be within the coverage of guns and artillery.

"Madman...madman..."

Bai Ying screamed and swung the bronze sword, opened an air shield on his body, and dodged flexibly, but he was still hit by several bullets and suffered some minor injuries.

When he finally rushed out of the range of gunfire, he saw no trace of Wei Xianzong in the smoke and exploded soil.

This guy... actually ran away?

…

…

Governor's Office.

When Zhao Duan heard the first gunshot in the city, the Fengyue Treasure Mirror in his hand flashed quickly across several key strongholds in the city.

And use the small mirror to lock the location of the attack.

When I saw in the mirror, I saw a burly rebel general throwing a short spear and killing an officer instantly.

Mo Chou's expression changed:

"It's one of Ye Xin's two lieutenants, a warrior of the World Realm... They are really attacking our defenses!"

"Tang Jinzhong."

Zhao Duan quickly called out the names, then glanced at Jin Jian who was sitting next to him:

"Thank you for your help."

Jin Jian had drunk the potion in advance, so he was not sleepy at the moment. Instead, he looked energetic. He gently waved the staff in his hand when he heard the words.

An illusory full moon appeared in the room. Jin Jian reached out and pulled Tang Jinzhong into the full moon. After a moment, she returned and said calmly:

"The person has been sent over."

Mo Chou was stunned, and the others were also shocked, finally understanding Zhao Duan's plan to deal with this incident.

Gather everyone together, use the Fengyue Treasure Mirror to determine the location of the attack, and then use the golden tablet's teleportation technique to send the corresponding master over.

This greatly improves support efficiency.

As long as our own masters arrive in time and suppress the masters sent by the other side, it will be enough to stabilize the situation.

Zhao Duan continued to control the small mirror again and again, observing each stronghold, while Jin Jian stretched out his hand from time to time to transfer magic power to the mirror.

Soon, Shi Meng, the commander of the Three Thousand Battalion, and other senior military officers were teleported to various places.

"It's Bai Ying!"

Mo Chou suddenly stared at the image that appeared again in the mirror and said in a serious tone:

"Ye Xin has sent out the two most prominent masters... So Jiang... is the information true? This person is at the worldly level, we..."

Mo Chou was halfway through her words when she saw Zhao Duan had already stood up, stepped into the full moon in the house, and disappeared from everyone's sight!

…

“Huff…Huff…”

In the alley, Wei Xianzong was holding the wall, holding a long knife, and running as hard as he could.

Because he was familiar with the terrain, he took advantage of the gap in artillery fire and successfully escaped from the neighborhood. There were fewer and fewer people around him, and the streets became depressing and quiet.

Wei Xianzong's face was pale, blood was constantly flowing from his nose, and his steps were disorderly.

Finally, his legs gave way and he fell to the wall in the alley, gasping for breath. Through his bloodshot eyes, he could vaguely see a disheveled figure with white hair chasing him angrily at the end of the alley.

Bai Ying's hair was disheveled, and his armor was dented. He walked over with a sword in hand, sneering:

"Run, why don't you run? You think you can get rid of this general with just this little trick? You're dreaming! Oh, everyone says you're a talented person, but it seems Zhao Duan was blind and misjudged the person, actually supporting a coward who abandoned his men and fled alone when he encountered danger!"

Bai Ying laughed loudly, but her pace was not fast, and she even became more cautious.

He was obviously on guard, worried that he would fall into Wei Xianzong's scheme again and fall into his carefully designed trap.

However, Wei Xianzong just panted, letting the sweat on his forehead flow into his eyes. The burning sensation made him blink hard, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered to himself:

"This is all I can do. If you don't send someone, I can't hold on any longer..."

Wei Xianzong smelled death approaching, but he was not really afraid.

Because, in fact, he deserved to die when he was captured for following King Heng in the rebellion.

He'd been lucky to survive the past few months. Even if he died now, according to that guy surnamed Zhao, he could be posthumously recognized as a "meritorious martyr," providing security for his family, instead of playing a game of Nine Clans Elimination Chamber...

Not a loss.

only……

After all, I still feel unwilling.

I thought I could climb back up step by step, but I didn't expect that I would end up stopping at the position of general flag and die in humiliation in an empty alley.

Fortunately, the only thing that could be done was to follow the secret order circulated by the Governor's Office the day before yesterday:

If attacked, delay the enemy as much as possible and lure the enemy general to a deserted place.

“Crunch, crunch…”

The sound of footsteps on the snow was getting closer and closer, just when the seriously injured Wei Xianzong was about to close his eyes and wait for death.

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside him out of nowhere.

Zhao Duan walked out from the moonlight, his boots stepping on the ground. He looked down at Wei Xianzong, who was leaning against the wall, covered in blood and looking as if he had been bombarded by artillery fire. He pulled the corner of his mouth:

"How could your own artillery blow you up like this? Are you dead?"

Wei Xianzong tried hard to open his eyelids, and smiled after seeing that it was him:

"Not dead yet, but almost dead."

"I'm here, it's hard for you to die." Zhao Duan said calmly, but ignored him. Instead, he turned and looked at Bai Ying who was not far away in the alley.

"Zhao Duan!?"

Bai Ying's pupils narrowed, and the moment Zhao Duan suddenly appeared, he subconsciously retreated several feet, holding the bronze sword across his chest, ready to attack at any time.

His heart sank, vaguely realizing that he had fallen into a trap.

But……

The target he had chosen was chosen on the spur of the moment. How could the enemy have foreseen this long front and sent support so quickly?

Before setting off, the well-planned military advisor Xu smiled and repeatedly assured everyone that there would be no problems as long as they followed his plan.

Military Advisor Xu further promised that he had already made corresponding arrangements for the imperial court's experts, and that they could be contained...

"It seems you know me," Zhao Duan said with a smile:

"Unfortunately, I don't know you very well.

Prince Jing had a good hidden card, and after the rebellion, many masters emerged.

Well, if I remember correctly, you were just a small general in the local garrison before Prince Jing's rebellion, right? At that time, no one knew that you had already reached the worldly realm.

Bai Ying's heart sank, and he looked around warily. He didn't see anyone else, and a surge of anger surged in his heart. He sneered:

"Zhao Duan, stop wasting time with nonsense. Compared to you, I'm not a big shot, but one thing that's fair in this world is that no matter how noble a person is, they only have one life!

You and I are both at the World Realm, and I heard that it wasn't long before you broke through. That's perfect. If you die at my hands, wouldn't I, Bai Ying, become famous throughout the world?"

Who gave you the courage? Liang Jing... Oh, this joke is too old, forget it...

Zhao Duan shook his head, clenched his right hand, and suddenly a heavy sword appeared in his palm.

He looked at Bai Ying with pity and said:

"The ignorant are fearless, and even in this world there are highs and lows."

After a pause, he slowly stepped forward and said with an extremely serious expression:

"Besides, there are no bullets in the gun I'm using to block your attack."

"Ah? What?" Bai Ying was confused and didn't understand.

However, the next second, a mysterious creature suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

It was a mysterious creature with a transparent body, through whose skin one could see the blood vessels, and two pointed horns on its head.

Deity: Dragon Girl.

Bai Ying's eyes became dull for a moment, as if she had lost her soul, leaving only her shell standing in the alley.

Zhao Duan swung the knife in his hand.

"puff!"

The blade easily cut off Bai Ying's neck, and the head spun half a circle and fell to the ground.

Bai Ying's head rolled around, his eyes wide open, his eyes wide open in death.

"You are too weak."
