Seeing how fierce this man was and how he disregarded their soldiers, and how he had killed thousands of his men within an hour, Geshu Kuang was even more enraged. He drew his bow and shot an arrow, but could not hit him.
He decided to take his broadsword and go meet this man in person.
They were about to capture Haicheng, but unexpectedly, just as they broke through the city walls, the enemy sent reinforcements. They were left without food and had no one to advise them.
As a general, he was already extremely anxious, but he never expected that someone would provoke him at this time.
What can be tolerated but not tolerated?
He has to kill this guy.
When Geshu rushed towards Lu Duling and slashed down with his sword, Lu Duling was still fighting fiercely.
He vowed to fight his way out and go back to see his Sakura.
Unfortunately, Geshu Kuang was the bravest general of the Di Rong and was also well-versed in the internal martial arts of the Central Plains. After Lu Duling confronted him, he quickly fell into a disadvantageous position. Under the opponent's fierce attack, his left leg was slashed, and then his right leg was slashed in succession.
Finally, completely incapacitated, in the moment before he closed his eyes, he gazed at the woman on the city wall, a smile appearing on his face, and silently uttered:
"Aying, I can't take care of you anymore. Take care of yourself and our child."
Finally, driven by intense resentment, Geshu Kuang was beheaded with a single blow.
"No!"
"No!"
Tian Ying witnessed this scene firsthand, seeing her beloved man beheaded, not even having a complete corpse preserved.
Her journey from joy to despair, and then to collapse, happened in the blink of an eye.
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
She cried out several times, and finally, filled with resentment and despair, jumped off the city wall.
Without saying a word, he released all the Gu worms on her body.
She wanted to avenge Lu Duling; she wanted the person who killed Lu Duling to die and be sent to the eighteenth level of hell!
Geshu Kuangshi never expected that after killing one madman, a female madman would jump down from the city wall and immediately unleash a swarm of dark creatures to attack him.
He immediately began to fight back with his broadsword, but unfortunately the Gu worms of Miao territory were too strange. Before he knew it, those little worms had crawled into his body through his wound.
Tian Ying's resentful eyes held a strange smile as she continuously made hand seals, causing the Gu worms that had entered Ge Shu Kuang's body to wander restlessly within his body.
At this moment, Ge Shukuang felt as if a thousand insects were gnawing at him, and every inch of his skin was pricking with needles. His head felt like it was about to explode, and he could barely hold his broadsword.
In a short while, it curled up in a ball and howled desperately.
"Go to hell! Go to hell!"
Seeing that he had squatted down, Tian Ying picked up his broadsword, ran up to him, and started slashing wildly, ignoring the soldiers rushing towards them.
She also wanted this man to die a gruesome death; she wanted to pay for her lover's life.
The Gu worms of Miao territory are indeed shrouded in mystery. The moment Tian Ying raised her knife to strike, Ge Shu Kuang was completely controlled and had no power to resist. Thus, a renowned general of Di Rong died at the hands of a young girl.
Tian Ying was also pierced through the chest by a long spear from behind, and blood kept flowing out of her mouth.
Ignoring her injuries, she used the last of her strength to crawl to where Lu Duling's head had fallen, picked him up, and then limped to the other side of his body, placed his head down, and burst into tears.
She shouldn't have acted childishly; she shouldn't have said those things that wanted him dead. She regretted it, but fate didn't give her a chance.
She may have given it to him, but unfortunately, their fate was too shallow. She didn't try to salvage the situation, which led to the death of the man who loved her most in her life.
After crying her fill, she still had a sliver of strength left. With great effort, she pulled the gun that had pierced her chest out, then lay peacefully beside Lu Duling and slowly closed her eyes.
Winters in the north are extremely cold, and on the battlefield at this moment, the cold wind is blowing particularly fiercely.
Soon it began to snow, and an hour later, a large area was covered in snow.
The moment Geshu Kuang was decapitated, Di Rong's army quickly withdrew from the scene, carrying his body with them.
A war that should have been raging on has thus come to a temporary end.
Xia Dong witnessed all of this from the city tower, and his eyes reddened for some reason. But he knew that this matter had to be reported to the general immediately, so he turned around and ran down the city tower towards the city lord's mansion.
As soon as he entered the city lord's mansion, he tumbled and fell to the ground, just in time to meet Bai Ze, who was about to leave the mansion.
Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?
Bai Ze frowned deeply.
"Just now... just now the girl that the general asked his men to bring to the city wall died, and her lover also died in the chaos of battle. At the same time, the enemy general Geshu Kuang was also poisoned by Gu and his head was cut off by the girl. Now the Di Rong army outside Haicheng has retreated."
Xia Dong, panting heavily, stammered as he recounted everything he had seen.
"What?"
"What did you say!"
Bai Ze was incredulous. It was one thing for the general to be dead, but why was that girl dead?
She is a close confidante of the eldest princess.
She's dead. How can he explain this to the princess?
"Absolutely true, General! That girl jumped down to her own death; no wonder we failed to protect her."
Xia Dong knew that the girl had a close relationship with their female demon, but since she wanted to die, he couldn't stop her.
"Take me to see this quickly!"
Bai Ze's expression was extremely grim. He had just readjusted the battle situation in the City Lord's Mansion, and such a drastic change had occurred on the battlefield outside.
He didn't know how to explain this to the princess.
"Yes! General Bai, come with me!"
Xia Dong knew this was no ordinary matter, so he got up from the ground and led the way.
Upon reaching the city gate, the two horses galloped out and searched diligently for the bodies of the two men in the field strewn with corpses outside the city.
Because Xia Dong had seen it with his own eyes, he roughly knew the location. The two searched for half an hour and finally found the two corpses.
At this moment, the heavy snow had covered their faces. Before she died, Tian Ying held Lu Duling's hand tightly, as if she never wanted to let go, even in the next life. Unfortunately, they could never go back to the past.
As the snowflakes on their faces were wiped away, they could see Lu Duling's resentment before her death and Tian Ying's regret and anguish.
Unfortunately, all of this has returned to dust, and we can never go back to the past.
Bai Ze stared at the two corpses in silence for a long time before finally giving Xia Dong only one instruction:
"Find someone to carry these two bodies back to Haicheng, have a fine coffin made, and bury them together."
He didn't understand why these two were acting crazy.
But death is like a lamp going out; I hope they won't misunderstand each other in their next life and can be a happy couple.
Upon returning to the city lord's mansion, Bai Ze wrote two letters, one sent to the army camp outside the city and the other to Cen Xi.
He can't make the decision right now; let's wait for someone who can.
Upon entering Haicheng, he originally thought he was in for another tough battle, but the war ended in a farcical and absurd way because of a couple's quarrel.
