Dust and debris fell from the smashed hole. The couple who were hugging each other looked at the motionless figure on the ground tremblingly. During the words "do you want to ask him for compensation", Lu Liangsheng suddenly coughed violently, and bright red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, running down his cheeks and flowing to the back of his neck.
With his eyes open, he looked straight at the hole in the floor above and the hole in the roof behind him. The night sky outside was bright with stars and the chaotic tide of killing on the city wall continued to reach his ears, but it all seemed a little ethereal.
The pain of being torn apart in the body is no longer that important.
'The target of the demon star... is not Chang'an... nor the emperor...'
Lu Liangsheng closed his eyes as he murmured, "But I..."
After a while, he moved and opened his eyes. He gritted his teeth and tried to stand up to avoid any severe pain. His feet stepped on the ground, swayed a few times, and then fell to one side.
Suddenly, two pairs of hands reached out to him and supported him. They were the man and woman from the family.
"You are the Imperial Master... I recognize you."
"I've seen it, too!"
The woman quickly moved a chair over and asked her husband to help the Imperial Master sit down. She also poured a bowl of water and brought it over, "Imperial Master, drink some water. It was boiled earlier and is still a little warm."
Lu Liangsheng looked at the ceramic bowl with some steam still rising from it, then looked at the still timid couple, took the bowl, took a sip, and put it on the table.
"Thank you..."
The warm water flowed through his throat and stomach, and he finally felt better. He leaned on the armrest of the chair and stood up. The man and woman came over to help him, but Lu Liangsheng waved his hand to stop them: "It's dangerous outside. Don't go out. Stay inside..."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside: "National Master!"
The man at home hurried over to open the door. Four young men in scholar robes crowded at the door and peered inside. When they saw Lu Liangsheng, they quickly pushed aside and rushed in.
"Master, we are here to help you."
"Let me do it, let me do it!" "Go away, I'll come in first."
"I saw the national master fall down first!!"
The four of them were talking at once, ignoring the couple who were either clear about the situation or not, and they escorted Lu Liangsheng out of the room. No one was seen passing by on the long street at this time.
On the deserted street, Hong Lian came with her long sleeves fluttering. When she saw Lu Liangsheng, she quickly lowered them, and ran towards him quickly with her embroidered shoes kicking up her skirt to check if he was injured. Then she raised her face with red eyes.
"Sir, how are you?"
"It's okay, I'm fine, why did you come down?!" Lu Liangsheng took the danger on the city wall more seriously than he did. When he saw the woman coming down the city wall, he knew she was concerned about him and he didn't know how to blame her for a moment. Over there, Hong Lian held his hand, shook her hair, sniffed, and her voice was a little choked.
"I don't care what happens to them, as long as you are okay..."
The four scholars nearby nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, as long as the Imperial Master is alright."
"Nonsense." Lu Liangsheng broke free from the four people's hands, gathered his magic power, and summoned the Yuelong Sword that was left nearby. However, he felt that Yuelong was being held by someone. Looking in the direction of his perception, he saw a slender figure slowly walking towards him in a nearby alley, holding the Yuelong Sword.
Is it her
Lu Liangsheng frowned. The woman opposite him was Xiaoxue, who came to Furong Pond last time to ask to see him. She walked over with the buzzing and trembling Yuelong Sword in her hand and bowed to him.
"Meet Master Lu."
As soon as she finished speaking, the long sword she was holding suddenly flew away and returned to Lu Liangsheng's hand. Then it fell to the ground with a bang. Lu Liangsheng looked at the woman and said, "It's dangerous here. What are you doing here?"
Four scholars stood on both sides, with their hands on their hips, chests puffed out, chins raised, and followed up with a sentence: "Yeah, what are you doing here?!"
"I hope the Imperial Master can trust me."
Xiaoxue slowly stood up, looked at them, and suddenly stretched out her hand, which emitted a soft light of Dharma, and walked towards Lu Liangsheng. Hong Lian wanted to stand in front of her, but Lu Liangsheng held her shoulders.
"Let her come."
The woman walking towards him showed gratitude on her face. Her fair palm, which was emitting soft Dharma light, slowly turned over and gently pressed against the old man's abdomen. The gentle white light seeped in, and Lu Liangsheng only felt a warm current flowing back, gently soothing the tearing pain caused by the evil star's breath.
"Master, are there any more?" the woman asked.
Feeling the warmth soothing his wound, Lu Liangsheng nodded. The girl named Xiaoxue immediately smiled. "These days, I have heard a lot about the national master in the city. I know that the national master has done so much for the people of the world. Just now I saw that even the emperor had to come out to resist the demons. I... I also want to do something for the people in the city."
"Do you think the emperor has left the imperial city?"
The woman nodded.
Lu Liangsheng's cheeks puffed up, and he repeatedly warned Mingyue not to let the emperor come out. If anything happened, it would be extremely dangerous, just as the gods wished.
'Why can't you stay here? ! '
A Yuelong fell to the ground with two bangs, and then he rode on the strong wind and jumped to the nearby eaves. Using the force of the wind, he jumped onto the roof and rushed towards the city gate. Hong Lian followed closely behind him. Below him, the four scholars and Xiaoxue also ran along the street.
On the distant city wall, Toad Taoist looked towards the city from time to time, not knowing what had happened to his disciple. A soldier fell down beside him, splashing blood on his face. His body trembled slightly, and he turned his face away, clenched his toad mouth, and groaned.
"I am a ninja!"
Gongsun Liao shook away more than ten corpses, but the next second, more corpse monsters pounced on him from all directions, covering him up layer by layer.
"This old man... just bear with it!"
The Toad Taoist stared at that place and closed his eyes. In the night sky, a little man with a pair of fire wheels came flying over and crashed into a section of the city wall in the distance. The parapets were shattered in an instant. Finally, the toad that was maintaining the magic circle clenched its flippers tightly, dispersed the magic power, jumped onto the parapet, and roared at the demon star that was no longer restrained.
"I can't stand it anymore—"
He lay prone on all fours, and used his webbed feet to crack the wall. After a cracking sound, his body shot out directly into the distant night.
At this moment, a series of horse hoof sounds shook the streets. The galloping imperial cavalry slowly stopped in front of the city gate in a long dragon. The war horses pedaled their hooves restlessly and shook their manes.
The leading figure in front gently stroked the horse's mane, looking at the tightly closed city gate. As the roar of fighting and the wailing of the dying continued to come from above, Yang Guang, who was sitting on horseback, whispered: "Open the city gate!"
There was a long creaking sound, and the heavy city gate slowly opened inward as the gatekeeper pulled it.
"Everyone... Our brothers are fighting on the city wall. Even the pure-hearted cultivators are protecting this city. As an emperor or a general, how can we hide in the palace and watch them die!"
Yang Guang stared at the city gate that was slowly opening a crack and reached out to grasp the hilt of the sword at his waist. Behind him, Yuwen Chengdu, Yuwen Tuo, the father and son of the Li family, and the generals in the army all drew their weapons.
Grand Tutor Yuwen Tuo stepped on the horse's back and was about to jump up, "Your Majesty, I will go and kill our way first!" The Xuanyuan in his hand shone with golden light, and the moment the city gate opened, a golden straight line was raised, which rushed out of the city gate and split the tide of corpses blocking the city into left and right.
"Are you afraid of death?!"
Inside the city gate, the horse's hoof took a step forward, and the emperor on horseback drew his sword with a clang, and countless voices from the back intertwined together.
“Don’t be afraid!!”
Yang Guang glanced sideways and saw the nervous faces, then grinned. When he turned back, he raised his sword and slashed down angrily, roaring!
"Then follow me and fight to the death in the city—"
He sat on his warhorse and stomped his iron hooves heavily, charging forward. The moment his cloak fluttered, the long street behind him and the huge crowd of cavalrymen rushed out of the city gate like a wave.
The earth exploded under countless iron hooves.
