Lu Gu was covered in mud, huddled under a tree in a very miserable state, with blood constantly flowing from her forehead.
Chu Tian suddenly remembered the scene when he first met Lu Gu in Minzhou Charity Hall.
Such a delicate and tender girl, pretending to be an adult with bearing and demeanor, surrounded by Hong Gu and several old retainers of the Du family, was clearly trying hard to muster up courage as she stood in front of a group of children adopted by the charity.
“You were born humble.”
“But no one is born humble.”
"A beggar on the street can become a king or a general; a refugee or a thief can also wear fine clothes one day. The founding emperor of our Great Jin was once just an ordinary farmer who worked the land for the landlord for a living."
"I will give you a chance to break away from your humble status and change your fate."
Chu Tian remembered it clearly, he was still a child at that time, and Lu Gu was only a few years older than him. She boldly said these words in front of thousands of children in the charity hall, blushing, and looked not majestic, but cute.
"Of course, there's no such thing as a free lunch." Lu Gu narrowed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly due to nervousness: "You might bleed, you might get hurt, you might... die!"
The children in the charity hall looked at Lu Gu ignorantly. Except Chu Tian, no one else present had a clear understanding of these things.
So, with a wave of her hand, Lu Gu brought up baskets of big meat buns, pieces of stewed braised pork, and pots of sweet rice wine like a stream.
Chu Tian's eyes swept across Chun Xing's half body.
He also remembered very clearly that Chun Xing was a few years younger than Lu Gu and a few years older than Chu Tian. At that time, she was in her prime. When Chu Tian took the meat buns, braised pork and rice wine from Chun Xing, she smiled very gently, her smile like a spring breeze, which reminded Chu Tian of his "mother"!
That gentle and sweet smile continued to appear in front of Chu Tian for several years.
When he was beaten with sticks during training, his nose and face were swollen and swollen, but it was this sweet smile that brought him medicinal wine and oil.
When he was bitten by wild wolves during the fight, his body was covered with wounds. It was this sweet smile that brought him gauze and medicine for his wounds.
I caught a cold and had a high fever, and was unconscious, but it was this sweet smile that protected me all night long.
"Open the coffin, General Li!" Chu Tian turned around, and dozens of important acupoints on his body spurted out green sword energy at the same time. Except for a snakeskin tights, all the cloth clothes on Chu Tian's body were blown to pieces by the sword energy, turning into countless fragments that flew away with the wind.
"Fuck your ancestors!" Chu Tian roared loudly and rushed back, rushing towards General Li who was floating in the air more than ten feet above the ground with his feet on the dark clouds.
Large groups of soldiers rushed up, blocking Chu Tian with greedy eyes.
After the charge just now, Chu Tian and his men killed thousands of soldiers. After the blood and energy of these soldiers were devoured, hundreds of powerful warriors with soaring strength were created.
They roared and blocked in front of Chu Tian, each of them baring their teeth like hungry ghosts, roaring loudly and rushing towards Chu Tian, opening their mouths to tear a piece of flesh from him.
Sword Qi rose, and Chu Tian's body was filled with thirty-six large sword Qis. He rushed into the group of soldiers like a hedgehog or a knife wheel. A large blood mist rose, and as the sword light passed, swords, shields, armor, and weapons were all cut smoothly. A large group of soldiers fell to the ground with howls, and they were dead after a few twitches.
More soldiers rushed over. They were not in a hurry to attack Chu Tian. Instead, they lay on the bodies of their dead comrades, greedily devouring the essence and blood gushing out of their bodies.
Hong Gu screamed at the top of her lungs behind him: "Tian Ge'er, get back here!"
The remaining maids also screamed and asked Chu Tian to come back quickly.
More and more soldiers gathered from all directions. General Li brought most of the main forces of Fengyu Jiuchongguan here. Except for some who were ambushed and killed by the Tiangui cultists, there were still tens of thousands of soldiers left.
Tens of thousands of people were scattered in the mountains and forests. At a glance, there were figures in all directions. Only in the direction where Chu Tian and his men had just broken out, there were fewer figures. However, large groups of soldiers nearby were surrounding this direction, trying to trap Chu Tian and his men completely.
If we don't withdraw now, we will never be able to leave.
More than a hundred feet away, General Li stood on the dark clouds, carrying a dragon-slaying crossbow and laughing loudly: "Come on, kid, my head is here, waiting for you to chop it off, waiting for you to take it! It's my eighteenth generation ancestor, if you are interested in digging up the grave, it's up to you - fuck it!"
Chu Tian was anxious. Hong Gu behind him was screaming in panic. The crazy soldiers around him surrounded him with roars. General Li in front of him was shouting provocations. His blood was beating and uneasy. The huge medicinal power of the pill given by Zi Xiaosheng quickly merged into his body. The sword energy rushing in his meridians continued to grow out of thin air, merging with each other and gradually growing stronger.
With a muffled sound, more than a dozen important acupoints in Chu Tian's body bounced and vibrated violently at the same time, and wisps of new sword energy rushed out from these acupoints. There were more than a dozen more acupoints on his body gushing out sword energy. The more he moved, the more terrible the damage caused by the sword energy around him.
Under the stimulation of the medicine, Chu Tian's Wu Yuan cultivation level increased rapidly. Four hundred years, five hundred years, six hundred years, and soon Chu Tian's Wu Yuan cultivation level soared by more than double, and reached the level of eight hundred years.
With the cultivation level of a mid-level Earth Venerable, Chu Tian's power increased with every move he made. The sword energy spurting out from his fingertips was more than three feet long, and the green sword energy spurting out from the major acupoints was as long as eighteen feet. Anyone who got close would have their bones and muscles broken and their limbs severed.
"Oh, a breakthrough on the battlefield? Not bad, not bad, you kid, if you are willing to surrender and capture Lu Gu alive and present her to me, I will let you be our vanguard general!"
Although General Li had been possessed by an evil spirit, his murderous intent rose and his personality changed drastically, but his experience, vision, and experience as a general remained the same. He saw the value of Chu Tian's Great Zhoutian Star Sword Qi at a glance, and saw how much help Chu Tian, who had made a breakthrough in the battlefield, could bring to him if he could join him.
To conquer the world, even if it is to purify the world with evil spirits, we still need talents to conquer the world!
Chu Tian's response to General Li was that he fiercely gave him a middle finger from a distance, turned around and went to meet Hong Gu.
The breakthrough on the battlefield not only greatly increased Chu Tian's strength, but also made Chu Tian's congested mind much clearer.
Now is not a good time to avenge Chun Xing and Lu Gu. Only after surviving the chaos can we talk about revenge.
After killing people along the way, they finally reunited with Hong Gu. Several maids had already helped the unconscious Lu Gu up and snatched back Lu Gu's guqin. Chu Tian led the way with Hong Gu following behind. The group rushed forward more than a hundred feet and were about to break through the encirclement of General Li's men.
General Lu shouted angrily, and jumped off the ground with a large group of lieutenants, captains, and a large group of elite soldiers and horses. They stepped on the trunks and branches of the trees in the mountains and forests, and chased them all the way up.
