“Hurry! Hurry up!” Zhou Decheng, the chief imperial guard of the State of Cai, shouted, “We have seen the first checkpoint of Kurumiling… Oh no, the Anyang army is attacking the last checkpoint! Hurry, hurry!”
Zhou Decheng took the lead, followed by Jin Guofeng and more than 500 Jindan stage masters, and they came at lightning speed.
However, the scene that Zhou Decheng and others saw was very "touching".
On the top of the city wall, Hu Wanjun stood majestically, covered in bloodshot clothes and holding a sword; there were more than 7,000 soldiers at the checkpoint, defending the place to the death; many of them were in tattered clothes, with blood on their chests.
Outside the checkpoint, the light of the formation shone brightly, and the magnificent formation covered an area of about one kilometer. This was a "heaven-sealing and earth-locking formation." Within the range of this formation, all spells lost their effect, and even Yuanying stage masters could only hold long swords and fight on foot.
In front of the checkpoint, Yan Zhengqing was leading 20,000 vanguard troops in a standoff, with thousands of corpses lying in front of both sides.
High in the sky, Anyang's planes were bombing, but one bomb after another was blocked by the formation and could only explode in vain in mid-air; in the end, only scattered shrapnel fell slowly, stirring up a cloud of dust.
But every time the bomb exploded, the formation would fluctuate; however, the formation seemed very solid, and the bombs kept bombarding, but the formation remained unbreakable. This formation was left over from three thousand years, and it can still operate today - as long as there are spirit stones.
When Zhou Decheng arrived, Anyang had just launched a small portable artillery.
On the top of the city wall, Hu Wanjun yelled, "Shoot!"
The powerful crossbows on the city wall suddenly fired a burst of shots, and a large number of people in front of Anyang were killed in an instant.
Zhou Decheng led 500 Jindan-stage masters to land and ran quickly towards the city from the back. "Imperial guard Zhou Decheng, lead 500 Jindan-stage masters to support! Is that General Hu Wanjun in front?"
Hu Wanjun was covered in blood and looked pale, as if he was seriously injured. He leaned on his sword and shouted hoarsely, "Proof!"
"Here!" Zhou Decheng threw out the seal and imperial edict.
Hu Wanjun checked and found nothing wrong, and yelled again: "Put down the rope. The war situation is urgent, and I am sorry to have to use it temporarily."
More than five hundred ropes hung from the top of the city wall.
"I understand." Zhou Decheng did not doubt him and was the first to climb up the city wall along the rope; behind him, more than 500 Jindan stage masters also climbed to the top of the city wall one by one.
However, just as he stood still, Zhou Decheng suddenly realized that something was wrong! Wait, the soldier's eyes were not right, and Hu Wanjun's eyes were not right either...
Puff! A sword tip pierced through Zhou Decheng's chest, and Zhou Decheng's true energy receded like a tide. The defensive magic weapon on Zhou Decheng's body was pierced by the sword tip like a wooden board.
magic weapon!
betray!
In an instant, these thoughts flashed through Zhou Decheng's mind. The pain was gone, but he didn't care; the cold sword, like a cold heart, made Zhou Decheng feel like he was falling into hell.
Zhou Decheng fell to the ground and heard a familiar voice, "Tie him up."
Yan... Yan Zhengqing...
Zhou Decheng turned around with great difficulty and found that it was Yan Zhengqing. Hu Dejun was standing respectfully beside Yan Zhengqing at this moment, like a primary school student waiting for reward from his teacher.
"Hu... Wan... Jun... you..."
Hu Wanjun also knew that what he did was wrong, and said in an embarrassed tone: "General Zhou, I'm sorry, we... can't stop Anyang's attack. Once the Ten Thousand Swords Formation is activated, all the checkpoints will be like rotten wood. In addition, General, take a good rest. At most in a month, the general will be able to recover and become a high-ranking Yuanying stage master again. For now, please bear with it."
