"quack……"
A few crows flapped their wings and flew away, but were then shot down by the soldiers on guard, and fell to the ground with a thud.
The night wind blew across the towering and desolate imperial city, and all living beings were in turmoil in the silence.
Inside the imperial city, there was a dead silence, with corpses scattered everywhere and no one to clean them up.
Outside the imperial city, heads piled up like mountains and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
The remaining soldiers of Liang State are attacking the city together with the practitioners of Lingtai Mountain.
These were not the governor's officers and soldiers guarding the imperial city, but the generals under Huo Hengxuan who had been forcibly disbanded by an imperial decree and were now gathered from all over.
In seven days, 20,000 mortals came from all over Liang State and quickly rebuilt the army.
Among them were not only soldiers, but also people from Liang who voluntarily joined in.
At the beginning, they only had pitchforks and machetes, a murderous aura and a body in their hands. Now they are all wearing sharp weapons, talking and laughing, drinking blood, with heads hanging on their waists, no different from the soldiers around them.
War is a machine. Once it is put into operation, it can quickly produce elite troops.
From the grassroots comes the heroes.
The remaining soldiers, filled with murderous intent, had already reached the city gate, set up ladders, and tried their best to push out the battering ram.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Above, practitioners were fighting, and several white light afterimages flashed by. The air was shaken by the loud explosion, and vacuum circles were opened one after another. If someone was shot down, it would be like a meteorite falling to the ground, smashing out a huge hole!
Talisman characters twisted and coiled like earthworms emerged, and in an instant, scarlet mist appeared, spreading the plague. Wherever it passed, the disease was everywhere, and mortals turned into dry bones.
Further away, someone summoned a giant beast hundreds of feet long out of thin air. It looked like a unicorn or a dragon. With a sweep of its long tail, it covered flesh and blood in mud.
Looking at the wilderness and towns outside the imperial city, there is no longer an inch of intact land.
There were countless large and small pits everywhere, and there were almost no ruins left. There was only barren earth and scorched soil, filled with swords, spears, and halberds.
For seven days, people continued to join the battlefield, but the number of people was decreasing.
There were more than 20,000 people, but now there are less than 4,000 left.
Now, it is the eighth day.
When the night reaches its darkest moment.
The young general, holding high a flag with the word "Huo" written in blood, killed the enemy in front of him. Seeing that the city gate was finally broken, he shouted with red eyes: "Enter the city! Enter the city! Follow me into the city! Kill——!!!"
He held the flag high and walked forward excitedly, but found that only a few people followed him.
The young general paused, only to find corpses scattered all around him, with only one in ten people standing left.
“Wow! Wow!”
The neat sound of armor knocking against each other came from behind the city gate, and teams of well-prepared black-armored soldiers emerged from both sides of the street, forming a new line of defense.
The young general tightly grasped the flag made of a long spear and his comrades' clothes in his hand, gritted his teeth, and his face lost all color.
A cultivator from Lingtai Mountain suddenly came down and supported his shaky body.
The young general said, "Thank you very much."
"No need." The cultivator smiled, stretched out his hand and waved it, and the former was sent ten feet away.
More and more practitioners landed on the ground, walked past the black-armored army, and looked at Li Hongling who was standing high in the imperial city.
The leading cultivator said, "Jiang Jian of Lingtai Mountain is trying to break into General Li's formation."
"Kong Yunyi of Lingtai Mountain now wishes to..."
"Lingtai Mountain..."
The sound never stops.
The air was filled with murderous intent.
Li Hongling sat on the giant star abyss, her scarlet eyes showing disdain, and she snorted and laughed:
"They don't really think that with these dirt-cheap dogs, they can reduce the strength of our Black Armor Army by half, right?"
Because Shen Xingzhu from the Xuanshen Dao Sect was here, neither side dared to break the rules and could only fight king against king and soldier against soldier.
They thought they had exchanged the 20,000 remaining soldiers for 10,000 black-armored soldiers.
But... I'm afraid these loyal ministers of Liang State would never have imagined it in their dreams.
These days, the so-called "Black Armored Army" they were fighting against were actually just Liang officers and soldiers who had defected.
Fifty thousand black-armored soldiers, not a single one moved.
The ironic smile in Li Hongling's eyes widened. She waved her hand and summoned a black-armored guard:
"You're still so brave and energetic. It's time to take that useless old bastard out for a walk."
In the past two days, she deliberately ignored any movement in the prison and paid no attention to it.
It was to observe Huo Hengxuan's attitude towards Chen Kuang to confirm whether what the latter said was true.
With Huo Hengxuan's scheming, it was impossible for him not to know that this little musician was Emperor Liang's man. When he saw the fine wine and delicious food, he should have realized that the other party had betrayed him.
As expected, Huo Hengxuan became extremely resentful towards Chen Kuang these days and often quarreled with him.
This indirectly proves that Chen Kuang does know the whereabouts of the elixir of life.
Now that the elixir of immortality has been found, Huo Hengxuan no longer has any reason to live.
It's just a pity for Qingqi who was monitoring the Sky Prison together with Qingcuo...
I've been with her for so long, but I still don't know when to stop.
She didn't care about the burning, killing and looting when they entered the city, but now that Shen Xingzhu is here, they even dare to go out of the city and attack mortals.
She had just taken action herself and ended his life.
Li Hongling sighed.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the many practitioners below.
"Come on, let me see... If I execute Huo Hengxuan in front of you, would you still have the courage to be my enemy?"
This is the ultimate value of keeping Huo Hengxuan alive until today.
…
With just a few words, you destroyed Shen Xingzhu's Daoist aspirations, gaining the passive ability "Heavenly Demonic Law": The music you play seems to possess some kind of irresistible and terrifying magical power, capable of influencing the minds of others based on your emotions.
Chen Kuang looked at the new passive item on the status bar, and his sense of security increased a lot.
