Perhaps Zu'an's feelings weren't strong yet, but for these citizens of the capital, the emperor's image of power and invincibility had left an indelible impression on them. The fact that the emperor had casually attacked them in the secret realm had further confirmed this. But now, they had been defeated and forced to flee in disarray. In that instant, it seemed as if something inside them had collapsed.
However, they had no time to marvel, because Zhao Ruizhi was being pursued by highly mobile cavalry and chariot units, while many more infantry terracotta warriors remained behind.
They suddenly turned to look at the group of people, then charged towards them with their weapons in hand.
"My God!" Although He Li was at the peak of the ninth rank, he had encountered these things several times in the secret realm, and his courage had long been shattered. He had no intention of fighting anymore. When he saw these things rushing over, he immediately turned and ran.
He kept reassuring himself that although he might not be able to outrun so many terracotta warriors, as long as he could outrun his companions, that would be enough. He hoped they could buy him some time, and maybe he could even take advantage of the chaos to gain some divine favor.
Seeing him run away, the others scattered and ran in different directions.
"Let's go!" Zu'an also pulled Bi Linglong and ran towards the distant light bridge.
However, as more and more terracotta warriors appeared around him, a slow-moving Qi Prince's guard was soon surrounded. Although he resisted with all his might, he was outnumbered and was hacked to death almost instantly.
Hearing the screams coming from afar, Bi Linglong turned pale. There were strange terracotta warriors everywhere. Could they really escape?
Several times during the journey, she swung her sword and fought against the terracotta warriors. She felt that each of them was quite strong individually. With her sixth-grade cultivation, she could deal with one or two, but they were too well coordinated. If five or six of them were together, she could only run away, and she might not even be able to escape.
Fortunately, Zuan was incredibly fast along the way, and he always managed to break through the gaps in the terracotta warriors' encirclement at the last second.
After an unknown amount of time, she could no longer see the people from the Qi Prince's Mansion. Although they had been enemies before, they were still human beings and had spent some time together along the way. They were certainly more reassuring than these lifeless terracotta warriors in front of her.
Suddenly, Bi Linglong's face turned pale because he saw another group of terracotta warriors appear in front of him. These guys actually knew how to use the flanking tactic!
She was somewhat desperate. Even the invincible emperor could only flee in defeat, so how could they possibly defeat so many terracotta warriors?
She made up her mind and said directly to Zu'an, "Zu'an, you run. Don't worry about me. I'll cover your retreat. You might still have a chance to escape on your own."
Zu An glanced at her in surprise: "You've got it backwards. With your level of cultivation, what are you going to do with your lineage? If anyone should be cutting off their lineage, it should be me."
Bi Linglong shook her head: "My cultivation level is too low. Even if you cover my retreat, I won't be able to run very far. You are different. With your cultivation level, you still have a chance to escape on your own."
Seeing that Zu'an was about to say something more, she suddenly tiptoed over and kissed him: "Zu, there's no need to say anything more. Thank you for taking care of me along the way. It's my turn to do something for you now. Although we've been through a lot of dangers during this time, I'm actually very happy... very happy to have met you in this life... Time is running out, you should go quickly. Don't let us both die here, it's meaningless."
As the terracotta warriors drew closer, Bi Linglong grew increasingly anxious and kept urging Zu An to leave.
"Who said we're going to die?" Zuan said with a strange expression, then looked at the menacing terracotta warriors. "I originally wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person, but all I got in return was your aggressive pressure. Fine, I'm not pretending anymore."
A dragon's roar resounded as he drew the Tai'a sword and raised it high, his entire body surging with the power of the Primordial Chaos: "The Qin Emperor is here! All soldiers, heed my command!"
