"Open the gates and kill!"
Step on...
Tap tap tap…
The sound of horse hooves rushed through the wide-open city gate like thunder. Nearly two thousand imperial cavalrymen rushed in a mighty force. The corpse tide that had been cut open by the Xuan-yuan Sword on the official road and fields outside the city calmed down and came again. The sound of footsteps and horse hooves on both sides shook the earth.
“Uhhhh—”
Shi Wansui brandished his spear and roared hysterically, his veins bulged and his eyes turned red. Behind him, Li Yuan held a golden sword with a tiger head and breathed heavily on the ups and downs of his horse. He looked at the countless corpses running towards him with claws waving, and clenched the hilt of his sword, his eyelids twitching wildly.
Yuwen Chengdu held the gilded drill upside down, grinning. It was not the first time he had seen monsters and ghosts. As long as one had enough determination, no monsters or ghosts would be so scary.
He opened his mouth as wide as he could and roared: "Kill—"
"Kill!" Qu Yuanfeng raised his spear.
Li Yuanba held the iron hammer that his master had made for him. He looked at the approaching corpses with excitement. Someone shouted, "Kill!" He dragged the magic weapon and ran wildly, shouting, "Here they come, here they come, I'll kill them first... Ah ah—"
Amid the dense and undulating waves of cavalry, Yang Guang squeezed his horse's belly.
He was an emperor and should not have gone to the battlefield in person. When he took over the crown from his father, he was already an emperor. As an emperor, there were many things he could not do, and he could not choose women at will. The soldiers who he had always loved no longer had that kind of feelings for him, and they began to be in awe of him.
In fact, he knew about the death of Duke Yue, but as an emperor, he could not say it out loud.
But he is a member of the Yang family at heart. As an emperor, it is actually difficult for him to understand the emotions of his father's generation, especially since he took the throne from his brothers. However, at this moment, experiencing life and death together with all the generals around him and the soldiers who guarded him every day, he finally realized the country that his fathers were willing to defend with their lives, and... the people behind them.
Gripping the hilt of the sword tightly, he watched the moment of rushing forward to meet the enemy, and recalled the smile on his father's face when he held his hand before his death.
'Father...'
'National Master...'
"The emperor who fights his way out from horseback is the real emperor!"
He thought.
The next moment, the surging tides on both sides collided and spread.
…
On the top of the city wall where the fighting was ongoing, Lu Liangsheng used a sword to cut through the corpses that rushed into the stone steps of the inner city wall. He held the Yuelong Sword slanted down and went up step by step. At the position of the distant demon star, he saw his master who had transformed into his original form again and was entangled in a fight. He turned his head and saw corpses and soldiers fighting in groups everywhere.
No matter how powerful Zhu Ganglie, Li Sui'an and Gongsun Liao were, they were afraid of accidental injuries, so they mostly used their martial arts and strength to push away the corpses and get out of the city.
A woman named Xiaoxue was already running on the top of the city wall. She pulled the seriously injured soldiers into a corner and used magic to stop the bleeding and heal them. The four scholars plucked up their courage, picked up the swords on the ground and protected the woman as she treated the wounded. When corpse monsters rushed over, they hurriedly used the terrain and weapons to dodge or push them away.
Ahem…
A violent coughing sound was heard on the city wall. Lu Liangsheng jumped up and pulled the monkey out from the ruins. He had swung the stick too hard before and the rebound hit himself, which was also painful.
"Xiaoxue, this way!"
Lu Liangsheng helped the monkey down, and the busy woman stumbled over. Her face was pale, and it was obvious that she had used too much magic power. The magic light between her hands was weak, and when she pressed on the monkey, her whole body was shaking.
"Miss, that's not necessary. I am only a Dharmakaya now... You should save some of your magic power."
Sun Wukong pushed her hand away, leaned against the wall with the help of his stick, stared at the evil star in the distance with his ferocious eyes without blinking, and a low, hoarse roar came from his throat from time to time.
"Lu Liangsheng... Magic power is useless against it, and weapons are useless too... Only Nezha's divine power can weaken it a little, but it's useless... I think that hole in the sky is replenishing its power... It's replenishing it continuously... If we don't plug it, I'm afraid that you and I will exhaust our energy to get rid of it, and we won't be able to..."
Lu Liangsheng looked up at the night sky, which was as dark as water, and then looked into the distance outside the city. The trace of golden light had not yet dissipated. Suddenly, he was startled. If the power of Xuanyuan Sword backfired... Lu Liangsheng rushed to the parapet.
"Takuer, don't go!!"
The sound of the Dharma spread, and a roaring figure holding a sword appeared in the night sky, his eyes fixed on the huge red light. The Toad Taoist not far away opened his huge mouth and sucked hard, sucking wisps of red silk into his mouth and nose. Red light swam wildly in his bulging belly, and from time to time, the thin belly bulged out, with faces of people and monsters printed on it, and terrified roars came out from inside, as if it was about to break out.
Nezha was wandering around the demon star, shooting cold guns from time to time. He pressed the fire wheel under his feet to turn, and a ball of gold pierced his eyes. In an instant, a giant golden sword appeared in his hand, and magic patterns were surrounded by it.
The next moment.
Yuwen Tuo gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, his robe and long black hair fluttering in the wind, and he held the huge sword upright into the night sky. The little man over there suddenly stepped on the wind-fire wheels and crashed into the toad on the other side.
“Get out of the way!”
As the voice fell, Yuwen Tuo in the sky opened his eyes and shouted: "Demon star!" The divine sword in his hand that seemed to connect heaven and earth slashed forward!
"Taku?! "
Suddenly, a familiar female voice sounded, and Yuwen Tuo, who was swinging his arm to chop, was stunned for a moment. He looked at the red light and uttered a questioning word.
"mother?"
"Takuer, don't..."
In the dancing red starlight, a woman's face slowly emerged, and she pleaded in pain, "Tuo'er... your mother and your father were killed by people sent by Yang Su... Don't help the Sui people..."
The red light changed, and the face of a middle-aged man emerged, his voice was upright and majestic.
"Takuer! Don't forget the national hatred and family feud!"
"What?!"
Yuwen Tuo's eyes widened, and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand slowed down. At this time, Nezha's voice came into his ears: "Don't be fooled!"
Here, Yuwen Tuo suddenly woke up, but the magic sword in his hand had lost some of its momentum, and the sword tip with golden light still fell on the red light.
In less than half a breath, the red light suddenly turned golden, and a round of sword energy mixed with gold flew out from the demon star's body, slashing forward and around.
boom!
Endless golden sword light shot out in all directions, and the huge body of the Toad Taoist priest made a loud bang, spurting out a mouthful of black blood, and staggered towards the mountain behind him. Nezha was affected and was pressed hard behind his waist, and the whole mountainside was smashed crooked.
Yuwen Tuo's body in mid-air shook violently, and was pierced through by the sword energy of Xuanyuan. His cloak and robe shattered with a hissing sound, and he fell straight down like a kite with a broken string.
The golden sword energy spread, illuminating the city wall and reflected in Lu Liangsheng's eyes. He almost instinctively made a finger gesture and summoned the strange beast from the mountains and seas - the black turtle. He pushed aside the corpses climbing the city wall, and the huge turtle back faced outside. At the same time, with his other hand, he took off the scabbard of the Xuanyuan sword at his waist, which emitted a divine light and was thrown to the top of the city wall.
Half a breath later, the golden sword energy hit them, and the black tortoise roared towards the sky. Its body broke into pieces bit by bit and dissipated. The remaining sword energy hit the scabbard of the Xuanyuan sword. With a loud bang, it shot out to both sides of the city wall. The corpses that were densely climbing on the wall were torn into pieces by the terrifying sword energy and turned into a pool of rotten meat.
In an instant, the golden sword energy cleared out all the corpses that were piled up and climbing outside the city wall.
Pushing aside the pile of corpses, Old Pig crawled out and stared in amazement at the gradually fading golden light. As he turned his sight slightly, he saw Lu Liangsheng, who was pinching his fingers to make gestures, staggering and stumbling backwards. Then he sat on the ground, with a stream of blood spurting out of his mouth and nose, staining his clothes red.
The injuries that had been healed before now came back again.
White hair stained with blood hung down in front of his eyes. Lu Liangsheng sat in a pool of blood, looking at the figure falling from the night sky. His Adam's apple rolled and his eyelids closed gently, hiding the sadness that flashed across his eyes.
"Tuoer..."
