Gu Mujing stood atop the tower.
Night fell, and a crescent moon hung in the sky.
He had sustained numerous injuries during his escape from the palace. However, after consuming the system's elixirs, his injuries were alleviated while his body was strengthened.
He was not afraid of this battle.
Soon, more than twenty people with considerable martial arts skills gathered at the top of the tower.
They surrounded Gu Mu in the center, their swords pointed directly at him: "Today is your death day!"
Several people moved simultaneously, attacking Gu Mu.
Gu Mu leaped into the air, flicked his spear, and knocked the man who had spoken off the top of the tower.
At that height, a fall would likely be fatal.
After killing seven or eight, more people quickly gathered around.
The moon gradually rose to the top of the sky.
After the long night passes, everything will be completely different.
The people at the top of the tower are like endless leeks; one crop dies and another sprouts up.
Gu Mu could even hear a number of footsteps approaching the top of the tower.
Upon learning that Gu Mu was at the top of the tower, all those who were hunting him headed towards the top.
Under the moonlight, the young man in the blood-red python robe stood closest to the clouds, fighting against a hundred men single-handedly.
He was covered in wounds, but showed no fear.
Meanwhile, his reinforcements had arrived on the outskirts of the capital and set up camp.
General Meng looked up in the direction of the capital, his face full of worry, and said, "The capital has been sealed off. Can His Highness hold out? Should we charge into the city ahead of schedule?"
Shen Ci shook his head, fanning himself with a folding fan: "His Highness instructed us to camp overnight and attack the city during the day."
"But a night raid might be surprisingly effective!" General Meng's eyes widened in anger, wishing he could rush into the city immediately and roar, "Who dares to touch His Highness!"
“Even at night, the capital is under heavy guard, with everyone mobilized. There’s no way we could let our guard down and find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.” Shen Ci’s tone was calm, but the concern in his eyes betrayed his emotions.
“A complete blockade, besieging one person—how long can Your Highness hold out? I know Your Highness is worried about the brothers' arduous journey and fears unnecessary sacrifices… but…”
"I believe in Your Highness."
"Enough! Enough! When we enter the city tomorrow, I, Old Meng, will definitely take the Empress Dowager's head!" General Meng roared. "Brothers, get some rest! We'll attack the city tomorrow!"
"Yes!" The soldiers slammed their spears on the ground with a resounding thud.
At the top of the tower.
"Quick, he's injured, take him down!"
"Take me down?" Gu Mu couldn't help but ask back.
"You're not capable of this in your lifetime!" Gu Mu said arrogantly.
He went berserk.
He discovered a cheat code. He had been fighting for several hours and was already battered and exhausted, while his opponent seemed to have an endless supply of new players.
One falls at the top of the tower, and another rises.
In a protracted war, Gu Mu would definitely be at a disadvantage.
But... when Gu Mu was about to be exhausted, he secretly ate a resurrection pill, which restored his injuries from severe to minor, and he was full of energy again.
After all, the elixir of life can save someone even if they are barely clinging to life.
He could easily use the Resurrection Pill to replenish his strength.
A single resurrection pill can restore my condition, allowing me to kill a few more people. Killing people earns points, so it's a good deal!
So Gu Mu relied on this method of coming in and going out to fight all night at the top of the tower.
It's easier to fight at the top of the tower than in the palace.
Because the top of the tower is only a tiny piece of land and cannot accommodate too many people, Gu Mu's opponents each time are only about twenty. Although they are all experts, they are still quite far from the young man in green robes he encountered before, and Gu Mu can handle them completely.
Furthermore, the top of the tower is the highest point in the capital, making it difficult for those people to ambush and fire arrows.
Therefore, at this moment the top of the tower has become a river of blood, and the corpses below can be piled one on top of another, densely packed.
Fresh blood kept dripping from the top of the tower, onto the corpses below.
If a passerby accidentally walks past the tower, they will see bloody corpses piled up on the ground, an astonishing number of them.
Blood continued to drip from the sky, further staining them with a layer of bright red paint.
They'll definitely scream in fright.
Fortunately, no ordinary passerby dared to approach the tower.
"The moon is about to set." Gu Mu looked at the few people on the spire.
After a night of fighting, only a handful of experts, besides those protecting the Empress Dowager, remained who could fly to the top of the tower.
Finally, no new chives have sprouted.
But it's all coming to an end soon!
"You can't escape!" Gu Mu saw them exchange glances and then scatter and run away, so he immediately gave chase.
He swung his spear.
"one."
"two."
"Three."
...
There's only one left.
The man's eyes were filled with fear; he couldn't win! He was completely outmatched!
This person is abnormally strong!
Then he suddenly widened his eyes.
The spear pierced his throat.
"It's gone."
Gu Mu stood atop the spire, which had been originally pitch black but had been dyed vermilion. This touch of red at the top was particularly eye-catching in the capital.
However, Gu Mu knew that only the middle and upper-level forces under the Empress Dowager's control had died.
The Empress Dowager, who is afraid of death, still doesn't dare to come out. Her strongest men are currently protecting her.
at the same time.
The sounds of an attack on the city rose outside the capital.
General Meng roared, "Brothers, attack the city! Rescue His Highness!!!"
It was the sound of soldiers shouting "Charge!" and the clanging of weapons.
