They raised their shields or fell to the ground and curled up, looking in fear at the flying swords circling in the air.

On the outskirts of the army, a large number of soldiers collapsed, fled in all directions, and hid behind the surrounding rocks.

At this moment, in the center of the army, there were Situ Lianlong's confidants, as well as the colonels and captains.

Look at Xu Qiu's terrifying eyes.

Nodded quickly.

"My lord, let's withdraw our troops now and not attack again for three months." A captain said stiffly.

The other captains also hurriedly echoed: "This is already our limit. The people above us are the ones who want to mobilize soldiers."

They couldn't even enter the court of the Kingdom of North Vietnam and were just pawns.

There isn't much power at all.

Not advancing for three months was the biggest concession they could make.

Xu Qiu no longer forced them.

"All right."

Take back the sword-controlling technique.

A large number of flying swords dissipated in the sky and earth, leaving only a lonely Snake Kiss Sword floating in the air, and then slowly fell behind Xu Qiu and hung directly on it.

That look was very cool, and people around him were terrified and admired him at the same time.

They also want to be so free and easy.

At this time, Xu Qiu turned around and said to them: "Give me three fast horses."

The captain hurriedly shouted to the guards behind him, "Quickly prepare three... no, six fast horses for the immortal!"

The guards quickly brought the fast horse behind them.

The other guards followed suit, dismounted, and handed the reins to Wang Qiliang.

Wang Qiliang held the reins of the war horse in his hand.

Looking at Xu Qiu, he asked suspiciously: "Young Elder, aren't we going there on a flying sword?"

"I don't have that much spiritual power." Xu Qiu said bluntly.

Although there was no problem at all in flying with the sword, the problem was that his spiritual power was simply not enough to support flying with the sword for a long time.

To reach that level, one must at least be in the foundation-building stage.

After he finished speaking, he jumped onto the horse, with Qin Yumo still in his arms.

Xu Qiu clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and the warhorse galloped away.

"Young Elder, wait for me!" Wang Qiliang shouted loudly.

He hurriedly grabbed the reins, mounted the horse and chased after him.

At this time, no one in the army dared to stop them.

They all stepped back a few steps to make way for them to gallop freely on their horses.

As their backs disappeared on the horizon.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and many of them sat down on the ground, gasping for breath, with sweat on their palms and backs of their hands.

"We finally escaped..."

Some soldiers expressed such emotion.

Everyone looked in the direction of Yunmo Town and finally called off the troops.

at the same time.

Standing on the top of the city wall, Niu Dali and Xu Yongzhuang looked at the dense crowds of people in the distance.

Although it was too far away, he could judge from the density that there were no less than 10,000 people.

Originally, people thought that a large army was approaching, so they hurriedly prepared for defense on the city walls.

However, only one day passed.

The invading army actually retreated. Xu Yongzhuang asked suspiciously, "Could it be the young elder?"

"That should be the case. The young elder is so powerful, how can a mere army stand up to him?"

Niu Dali echoed.

They all breathed a sigh of relief immediately.

The army was approaching and everyone had a tense look on their faces, their backs covered in sweat.

This army of tens of thousands of people is enough to swallow up Yunmo Town.

Now the crisis has disappeared.

For a moment, the soldiers defending the city cheered.

…

A few days later.

Xuanliang, the capital of the Northern Yue Kingdom.

The sky was overcast, and it seemed gloomy even during the day.

There was martial law at the city gate, but only a few people entered the city, all of them were martial artists carrying swords and holding knives.

But there were a lot of people leaving the city. Many people were carrying luggage and holding pots and pans in their hands, queuing up to leave the city.

At this time, Qin Yumo was behind him, looking around curiously: "What happened here? Why are the people so panicked?"

"It's probably an underground palace." Wang Qiliang guessed.

At this time, an old man pulled his granddaughter.

After leaving the city gate, he left in a hurry with his luggage.

When I first arrived next to Xu Qiu.

He stretched out his hand to stop him, "Old man, what on earth is going on here?"

The old man was in a hurry to get on his way and didn't want to answer, however, Xu Qiu took out a few copper coins.

The old man hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

He leaned forward slightly and whispered, "Half a month ago, the area around the inner city suddenly collapsed, revealing a huge cemetery. I heard that a large number of monsters are buried inside?"

"Monster?" Qin Yumo blinked curiously.

She knew about the existence of monsters, but she learned it from her brother-in-law.

The old man saw her bright eyes and lovely appearance, and thought she was no less beautiful than his own granddaughter, a young girl in her prime.

The old man advised earnestly: "I advise you not to go in. The monsters are anticlimactic. Although I have never seen them with my own eyes, I have often seen the bodies of people killed by them."

"They basically had their arms and legs broken off, and the claw marks were no different from those caused by knives. Some people's internal organs were ripped out, and the scene was truly horrifying."

I was still frightened when I said this, my face turned slightly pale, and the palms and backs of my hands were covered in sweat.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qiu nodded silently.

"Don't worry, they are just a bunch of beasts."

"No, no, no!" When the old man saw Xu Qiu's nonchalant response, he thought that he underestimated his opponent and hurriedly denied it.

For a few coppers' sake.

The old man continued, "They are not ordinary animals. They like to come out at night to hunt for food. They have killed all the houses around the cemetery. Some of them will let out shrill screams, which can scare people to death."

"Now they have spread from the inner city to the outer city. I advise you not to go in. Many disciples of Wumen have been killed by monsters. They are all eaters without leaving any bones."

The old man spoke earnestly.

Seeing Xu Qiu remained silent.

He shook his head. "Alas, it's hard to persuade a damned devil with kind words. That's all I have to say."

After saying this, the old man hurriedly took his granddaughter's hand and fled towards the countryside.

Qin Yumo watched the old man and his granddaughter disappear from view. She was a little scared. "Do we still need to go in?"

Xu Qiu was speechless: "You can even defeat the general of the Tiger Guard of the North Vietnam, so why are you afraid of monsters?"

"It's different. Monsters are very different from humans."

Qin Yumo said stubbornly.

Then he pointed to Wang Qiliang beside him, "Besides, even he is afraid."

Wang Qiliang was suddenly speechless, "I, I, I..."

He kept saying "I" for a long time but didn't say a single word.

He was indeed afraid. After all, if this thing came out at night, wouldn't it be almost the same as a ghost?

He is afraid of ghosts.

Xu Qiu did not persuade them, but said: "If you are afraid, go back."

After saying that, he turned around and headed towards the outer city.

"Brother-in-law..." Qin Yumo wanted to call him, but Xu Qiu did not look back. She pouted her lips, kicked her legs and followed him.

"Wait for me." Wang Qiliang also ran over happily.

Xu Qiu didn't pay any attention to the two of them.

Enter the city gate.

The soldiers did not hinder them at all, did not even offer any help, and just waved their hands to let them in.

However, getting out of the city became difficult.

The team stretched from the city gate to the inner city. Most of them were fleeing civilians, and the soldiers simply stretched out their hands to ask for help.

The fleeing people could only take out a dozen copper coins with a painful heart.

Only then could we leave the city gate.

Wait for Xu Qiu, Qin Yumo and the other two to enter the city.

Then I saw the depressed Xuanliang.

You can't tell at all that this is the capital of the North Vietnam Kingdom.

The streets were sparsely populated, and even the inns and pubs were deserted, not to mention the street vendors, who were setting up their stalls listlessly.

Occasionally, some noise would cause these small vendors to flee frantically as if they were escaping from war, and the shops on both sides of the street would nail up the wooden boards that had been prepared long ago and close their stores.

Qin Yumo witnessed the scene before him.

"Is this monster really so terrifying?" (End of this chapter)
