Looking at the imminent battle outside the city, Shen Tang hesitated for a moment: "But in just half a step, he can't beat Gong Xichou!"
It took a huge price to barely equalize with Gong Xichou, and the latter's trump card has not yet been revealed. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is a dead end. If he does not stop the rescue at this time, Captain Yang will surely die! Gong Shuwu said calmly: "I know."
He understood Captain Yang's choice better than Shen Tang.
Shen Tang raised his voice: "I know why you haven't—"
Gong Shuwu: "It is a blessing to die in battle for glory."
Even if he were Captain Yang, he wouldn't want anyone to intervene at this time. If it was before the outbreak, it would be fine to stop it, but now that the arrow has been shot, there is no turning back. If someone else jumps out to stop it, then wouldn't his choice and sacrifice be meaningless
I might as well die here.
Shen Tang tried to refute, but she never said it out loud. She couldn't use her own values to interfere with others. She just couldn't help but lower her head and mutter: "Even so... You can't be so careless about your life... As the saying goes, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death..."
"Everyone has his own ambitions." Gong Shuwu said softly, "... and he didn't care about his life. He cherished the lives of the soldiers and civilians in Xiaocheng behind him. He knew he was in danger but he didn't care."
Cherish life, but the life you cherish is not your own.
His relatives and family members are all here, where can he retreat to
Shen Tang had no choice but to say, "Well, I understand."
After saying that, Gong Shuwu put down his hand that was pressing on her shoulder. He was really afraid that Shen Tang would jump down without saying a word. Not only was he worried that it would ruin the fight, but he was also worried that Shen Tang would be killed by Gong Xichou if he rushed forward. This Gong Xichou was the strongest person he had ever seen!
He has such strength at such a young age.
It is not impossible to challenge the 20th level of Chehou in the future. If Gong Xichou is lucky enough to live to that time...
Gong Shuwu's eyes were filled with a trace of barely perceptible envy - his talent was not bad, but it was not good enough to be called a "chosen one". Not as good as the best, but better than the worst. Without a chance encounter or a sudden realization at the critical moment of life and death, there would not be much room for growth.
Under the city wall
The energy of heaven and earth was thrown into chaos by the martial energy of the two.
Gong Xichou half-closed his eyes and looked at the opponent who was already overwhelming him. He had never been so cautious since he was born. Neither of them made the first move, and they were engaged in a confrontation of momentum. The sweat on his forehead seemed to be condensing into ice.
Gong Xichou was able to keep his composure but Captain Yang was not.
The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for him.
Finally, Captain Yang moved.
Captain Yang, who was an ordinary person the previous second, became like a ferocious beast ready to strike and lying in wait for an opportunity to kill in the next second. He kicked his foot and shot out. His figure was so fast that only a blurry afterimage was left and he appeared in front of us in the blink of an eye.
A high-pitched roar escaped from his throat.
"Destiny comes—"
Gong Xichou looked solemn and did not dare to be arrogant at all.
Boom!
At the moment of the weapons' clash, the two equally murderous and aggressive auras collided fiercely, neither of them willing to give in. Immediately afterwards, with the two of them as the center, the air wave exploded with wild sand and loess. The ground beneath their feet could not withstand the impact and cracked and sank.
Gong Xichou and Captain Yang both felt numbness in their hands and tightness in their chests.
A sweet and fishy taste rises from the throat.
Gong Xichou's face changed slightly, but he was able to forcefully swallow it back. After all, Captain Yang was forcibly promoted, and his body was already overwhelmed. He immediately spat out a large mouthful of scarlet turbid blood, and he didn't even look at it. Before Gong Xichou could adjust, Captain Yang launched another desperate attack. The muscles in his arms exploded, and as the force continued to rise, even the armor arm guards were cracked!
"ah-"
He opened his mouth and roared.
Finally, a big change appeared on Gong Xichou's face.
With a loud bang!
Gong Xichou could no longer maintain his balance, and was blown away by the huge force of Captain Yang. He rolled several feet in the air before he slid to his feet. Tick-tick-tick—red blood like a little snake dripped down his arm guard and fingers onto the ground.
Drops of blood bloomed cruelly on the yellow earth beneath their feet.
He flew out and just stood firm, when Captain Yang came over with a huge martial energy. His martial energy was not dazzling or bright, just like his presence, but at this moment, it completely caught the attention of tens of thousands of people from both armies, without blinking!
At this time, Captain Yang spared no effort to burn the Danfu's courage, opening and closing his arms, concentrating on himself. In his eyes, the world was empty, there were neither the twelve thousand rebels approaching the city nor the garrison soldiers struggling to hold on on the city wall.
There was only Gong Xichou in his eyes.
To be precise, it was Gong Xichou's life!
The overwhelming fighting spirit made Captain Yang seem like a god of war at that moment, and even Gong Xichou suffered a great loss.
This loss has to be taken.
There was another loud noise, the gravel on the ground shook, and the soldiers on both sides had their ears buzzing, and could not hear any other sound. Shen Tang and his men were well prepared, and each of them used some means to protect their ears, barely suppressing the nausea caused by the tinnitus.
Shen Tang asked: "Are these two still human?"
Any one of them can smash the walls of Xiaocheng with one punch! They are absolutely walking meat tanks!!!
This time it was Qi Shan and Chu Yao's turn to hold Shen Tang's shoulders.
The scene was very exciting, but Wu Lang/Shen Xiao Langjun, this skinny guy, shouldn't go down to cause trouble. He doesn't look like he can handle a punch from these two. Qi Shan said with a fake smile, "If they are not human, what else can they be? Monsters?"
Chu Yao also tried to persuade him, "Wu Lang, Wu Lang—please calm down. It's not time for you to go down yet."
Shen Tang couldn't help but look longing, muttering: "One day, I will also have such a strong courage..."
Chu Yao: “…”
Qishan: “…”
They all had a very ominous premonition.
When Wulang/Shen Xiaolangjun had no martial courage but only literary talent, he was already able to make Yang Duwei, the tenth-rank Zuo Shuzhang, anxious and frustrated. Now that he has martial courage again, won't he soar to the sky
The fierce battle continues off the field.
Gong Xichou took the blow from Captain Yang head-on, veins on his forehead bulged from the force, the soft flesh on his cheeks was stretched to iron-hardness, a three-foot-diameter pit appeared under his feet, and most of his calf was sunk into the mud. As the two equally violent martial energies collided and exploded, yellow sand flew in his face, blinding the eyes, and outsiders could not see the situation of the two for a while.
All that could be heard was the violent clanging sound of martial energy.
As the wind waves subsided, the yellow sand gradually dissipated, and the situation was clearly revealed to the two armies. Everyone was stunned.
Click. Click.
Cracks covered the snake-scale armor, and the chest armor was mostly torn apart and fell to the ground, revealing the upper body with well-defined muscles and continuous ravines. Gong Xichou finally gasped, and the sweat on his forehead could not stop flowing down, soaking the torn undershirt.
Gong Xichou's upper body armor could still protect his body, but Captain Yang was in a much more miserable state at this time - his upper body armor and inner shirt were torn to pieces, with wounds crisscrossing each other, and large amounts of blood oozing out of the surface of his skin, flowing down his skirt armor to wet the ground under his feet and gathering into small pools of blood.
Judging from the appearance alone, the winner is already decided.
In fact, this is true.
Unlike Gong Xichou who still had most of his fighting power, Captain Yang was already at the end of his strength, his breathing was heavy and dull, just like the hoarse sound of a beast dying. Every time he struck, he used up all his strength, and every time he struck, he affected all the wounds.
The wounds crisscrossing his upper body were many deep enough to reveal the bones.
It makes one's scalp tingle.
My heart was floating up and down due to the rise and fall of his chest.
These injuries are inevitable.
Because Captain Yang used all his strength to attack with every blow, without considering any skills or moves, without dodging or evading, and exchanging injuries for injuries. He looked at Gong Xichou's embarrassed posture, and a happy smile appeared on his bloody face, and he laughed: "It feels great!"
He added: "It's really refreshing!"
I have never felt as happy as I do today.
Gong Xichou pulled the corner of his mouth and clenched the cracked dark green whip. To be honest, this was the first time in his life that he was beaten so badly. But he was not angry at all, but happy! Yes, happy! Joy from the heart and soul!
It seemed that even the resentment that had been accumulating in his heart since the genocide was completely dissipated at once, and his whole body felt comfortable, his mind was clear, and he could not even feel the pain from the wounds on his body. The active and surging martial energy was rushing freely in his meridians.
The two armies only care about their victory or defeat, but—
Gong Shuwu noticed something that made him feel very angry.
He murmured, "Is this still a human being?"
Shen Tang: "Yuan Liang said these two are human, not monsters."
Gong Shuwu's mouth twitched: "Gong Xichou has made a breakthrough."
Shen Tang: "...Breakthrough in front of the formation???"
Walking meat tank plus
Gong Shuwu nodded: "It's not just Gongxi Chou..."
Captain Yang also achieved a breakthrough in this battle, breaking through the bottleneck that had been blocking him for a long time. He is now the eleventh-rank Right Minister. If it weren't for this fierce battle, he would probably never reach the threshold of the eleventh rank in his entire life. It is increasingly difficult for a Wudan warrior to advance to a higher rank.
No one noticed it, purely because the fight between the two was too intense, the fighting energy was surging and fluctuating, and it was difficult to notice without careful observation.
Shen Tang: “…”
Gong Shuwu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's time to die without regrets."
Apart from not being able to live to protect the people in the city, I have no regrets. However, this is how things are in the world. It is too difficult to pursue beauty and perfection.
From another perspective, Captain Yang's ability to explore the underworld in advance and wait for his family to reunite is another kind of "perfection". Gong Shuwu empathized with others and thought of his own experience. Even he couldn't help but feel a little sad and couldn't bear to watch Captain Yang die.
Here, Gong Xichou also said: "I am also very happy!"
This is what he pursues as a brave warrior.
Wars, interests, life and death, none of them can compare to the pleasure of a fierce battle. It's a pity that the man who brought him happiness is about to reach the end of his life, and the opponent he found with great difficulty will leave him completely soon.
Life is so lonely.
The sound of the drums also had a heavier and sad tone.
Captain Yang's eyes remained bright, and there was no trace of sadness in him that his life was about to end. He was full of vigor and fighting spirit. He squeezed out the last bit of strength in his body, accumulating power to explode, his eyes were more dazzling than a golden crow, and he attacked again with an unstoppable momentum.
only-
He was the setting sun, while Gong Xichou was the blazing sun hanging high in the sky. Just like a wave hitting a huge rock on the seashore, no matter how powerful and unmatched it is, it will eventually be smashed to pieces! The war drums on the city wall stopped for a moment.
The drum surface seemed to be unable to bear the weight, and the drum sounds were sobbing and hoarse.
It's all over.
Gong Shuwu and Zhai Le couldn't bear it and closed their eyes.
Qi Shan and Chu Yao also felt emotional.
Especially praying for good.
He had done a thorough homework when he came to Xiaocheng. He thoroughly checked the available people around the former county governor Yancheng, and naturally the information of Yang Duwei was indispensable. This person was indecisive, mediocre in talent, and a bit pedantic in character. He was just an ordinary person. Not to mention leaving a name in history books, no one would remember who he was or what his name was in a year or two.
His existence will be ruthlessly erased by time.
Qishan sighed quietly.
Life is like this—
Before he finished sighing, he noticed from the corner of his eye that someone was missing. At that moment, the nerves in his brain suddenly snapped, and when he heard the faint scream, he wanted to jump down and catch Shen Tang back. Qi Shan screamed in fear: "Shen! You! Li!"
Chu Yao: “…”
He is in urgent need of a heart-reassuring pill now.
Because something happened off the field that made his heart stop! Not only Chu Yaoqishan needed a heart-protecting pill, Zhai Le said he also needed one. After the last blow, Captain Yang failed to kill Gong Xichou, which also meant that he would die.
only-
The expected death did not come.
He felt his body being thrown in the opposite direction by a huge force, and rolled on the ground for several rounds before being caught by Zhai Le who had reacted. Captain Yang was suddenly startled, and looked over with his eyes wide open. Gong Xichou's fatal blow had not landed.
At the critical moment, he was blocked by a long sword—the blade was three feet four inches long and only slightly wider than two fingers, with nine golden dragons of different shapes wrapped around the hilt. Although the shape of this sword was simple, it was beautiful overall.
A beautiful sword...
It's really rare.
Seeing the familiar sword, the faces of the three people on the field changed, but their reactions were completely different.
Captain Yang looked at Shen Tang and then at the sword in Shen Tang's hand. His chest rose and fell violently, and he pulled the wound and spurted out a large mouthful of blood. Zhai Le reacted immediately and screamed in horror: "Brother Shen!"
The next fight is not just a game of house.
It will really kill you!
Gong Xichou showed mercy last time, but Dou Jiang definitely won’t!
In comparison, Gong Xichou's reaction was much calmer.
He looked at Shen·Confidant·Mama·Tang who was trying to stop him, and said with a little disappointment: "Mama, why are you here at this time?"
Last time he saved Zhai Le from his men, and this time he wants to save Captain Yang. Do you really think he won't have the intention to kill him
No, Shen Tang never thought so.
Pain in the base of the thumb, disorder of qi and blood.
Still with a calm expression: "Repaying a favor."
Shen Tang, who faced Gong Xichou head-on, knew better than anyone the murderous intent emanating from the former, but he still had to do what he had to do.
Gong Xichou narrowed his eyes and said, "Repay a favor? A debt of favor?"
Shen Tang said, "Because he gave me a sum of money. For the sake of the money, I can't let him die here. Anyway, the winner of your fight has been decided, and it doesn't count as breaking the rules if I save him now. As far as I know, a fight only decides the winner, not the life or death. To be able to save one's life or be saved by someone else is the work of the loser, right?"
Gong Xichou somehow recalled a fragment of memory.
He asked: "Send money? Tax silver?"
I still remember that Captain Yang came up and asked him whether he had intercepted any tax silver.
Yang·Half his life gone·The captain roared in anger.
"I didn't send it!"
