"Boom..."
The black-armored general raised his halberd and slammed it down with a sound like thunder.
Tens of thousands of black-armored soldiers began to charge at the same time, their iron hooves raising vast clouds of dust.
Directly in front of him, a surge of spiritual energy shook the earth with a bang, and a blazing white flame bloomed like a lotus, cutting straight through the black tide like the wind on the grass.
Wherever he passed, people bent like grass.
…
A day had passed, but the sky had not changed at all, and the starry sky above had fallen into a strange stagnation and silence.
The city wall was already in ruins.
"Ahem...Puff!"
Li Hongling spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Huo Hengxuan, who was half-kneeling in front of her, his eyes almost vacant and his life force almost gone, turning into a bloody man.
He threw away the broken "Thousand Miles of Smoke and Waves" in his hand.
Her mask had fallen off, and her long hair was loose, revealing a heroic and sharp face that was difficult to tell whether it was male or female. Her pale face was covered with scars of various colors.
Li Hongling turned around and watched her personal guards pass by her expressionlessly.
He walked to Huo Hengxuan, squatted down and wiped the blood off his face.
"Qingcuo."
Qingcuo stood up, hummed, took two steps forward, lowered his eyebrows and drew the long sword at his waist towards Li Hongling.
"So, you came here to kill me."
Li Hongling sighed: "You have the blood son Gu in your body. If you kill me, you will die too."
Those same scarlet eyes did not signify intimacy, but represented a control that connected life and death.
Qingcuo smiled and said softly:
"It doesn't matter."
"As long as you die... that'll be fine."
Qingcuo moved forward with the sword in hand, but suddenly stopped.
Her right arm was grabbed by a bloody hand.
Qingcuo was stunned.
Li Hongling's face changed drastically, she was so frightened that she shouted in a distorted voice:
"No, no... Impossible!!! You should be dead!"
The old man, no longer in human form, staggered to his feet, raised his eyes, and said in a tired and hoarse voice:
"That day, the boy tested me and asked me what my plan was."
Huo Hengxuan straightened his back, like an old sword.
"I told him, three."
He let out a long breath, looked up at the stars in the sky, and said softly.
"I didn't tell him what it meant—I'll tell you."
"Today, three people will die."
