The flesh and blood torn by the sword energy poured down the city walls like rain. There were also rockets fired from the top of the city walls, lighting up the night. The smooth official roads and fields below, and the raging waves that rushed out of the city gate were still spreading.
Li Yuanba and Yuwen Chengdu, who were in the lead, brandished their weapons, smashing the corpses that rushed towards them one by one. More than a hundred cavalrymen in heavy armor slammed down the crowded corpses with arrows. They ran and collided at high speed. At a glance, the skinny, bloodless corpse monsters were knocked away, and fell to the ground in the fall of their weapons, and were swept into the countless galloping iron hooves by the tumbling horses.
“Roar~~”
The hideous and distorted human face opened its mouth and roared, and what came next was a huge horse hoof pressing down on its face. With a snap, it was pressed into the mud, and broke into pieces like a melon. The impact spread, and corpses staggered and ran wildly in large numbers fell down. The tumbling iron hooves passed by, and there was the sound of flesh and bones being crushed with crackling sounds.
In the distance, a huge figure leaning against the mountain looked at the city wall and saw a familiar figure shaking and sitting down. The moment blood spurted out, the Toad Taoist covered his white belly, stepped on his webbed feet with a rumbling sound, pounced on the demon star, opened his toad mouth and sucked in a fierce breath, sucking the lingering red light into his mouth again.
As if losing its mind, the frog's flippers flapped wildly.
"Hit my apprentice—"
"Beat my disciple!"
The huge body also suffered backlash and continued to tremble. Its densely packed lumps were shaking, and sticky liquid was leaking out with each blow.
"Toad demon!" Nezha came out from the concave rock wall, brushing off the dust and gravel on his body. Seeing the sticky flesh on the toad's back, he knew that he was seriously injured. He rode his Wind Fire Wheels to pull him up, and shouted in his childish voice.
"Toad demon, go! You are almost dying."
The huge body flapped its webbed feet and opened and closed its mouth, and the force gradually slowed down. When it heard Nezha's voice, it sped up a few times and its body began to shake.
"... I can't bear to beat my apprentice... I... finally have an apprentice... a promising one..."
The Toad Taoist slowed down, his body shrank, and with a bang it turned into its original size and fell straight to the ground. Nezha swooped down, holding the flaming spear in one hand and catching the falling toad with the other. In the red light of the demon star, he turned an arc and rushed towards the city wall of Chang'an.
The golden sword energy swept away the corpses climbing the wall. The pressure from above weakened, and Hong Lian pushed a corpse off the top of the city wall. Looking back, she saw the boy with his feet on the fire wheel gently placing a short black shadow on the parapet, turning around and flying away, and killing the monster star again. The woman restrained her evil spirit, covered her mouth, and her eyes turned red.
"Young Master... it's Master Toad..."
Not far away, Gongsun Liao, who had grabbed a corpse and thrown it to the ground, heard the sound, turned around, and saw a small figure lying flat on the parapet. He let out a howl of "Ah--" and rushed over with a demonic wind.
Lu Liangsheng was stunned for a moment, then he propped himself up and stood up shakily. He took a step forward, as if he was floating lightly. His snow-white beard trembled slightly, and his lips murmured weakly.
"Master..."
The Toad Taoist lay flat on the wall, his belly rising and falling weakly, his breathing became faint, the bumps that once covered his back had shriveled up, and his sticky semen wet the wall tiles. He felt someone's presence, and his eyes slowly opened. He saw his disciple walking towards him in the burning fire, and his mouth opened wide and he smiled.
"Liangsheng... I am fine... I am just a little tired..."
"Go check... How is Takuer... His divine weapon is reincarnated... He should still be able to be saved... Ahem..."
Lu Liangsheng pursed his lips, his beard swaying in the wind. He nodded, "I'll go see him later..."
"Master Toad, don't say anything... Miss Xiaoxue!" Hong Lian couldn't hold back her emotions and burst into tears. Thinking of something, she turned around and floated to the corner of the tower and the parapet. Looking at the pale-faced woman squatting on the ground, she reached out to pull her, "Help me, don't you know healing magic? Come on, help me..."
Xiaoxue stumbled over, leaning weakly against the wall, gasping for breath. She almost didn't have the strength to even raise her hands. The faint light from her fingertips stretched out to the wall, and was waved by the Toad Taoist.
"I am a demon... These spells are useless... Liangsheng..."
The toad's open eyes slowly half closed, and his gaze turned to his apprentice, and his voice became lower and lower.
“… become an immortal… must become an immortal…”
Lu Liangsheng endured the piercing pain brought by the breath of the evil star and transferred his magic power. His weak voice became a little louder. The toad grinned, turned his face straight, stared straight at the night sky full of stars and the moon, and murmured softly.
"Thinking back to the time when I was a great demon... the demon king, I could swallow everything in the world with just one mouth and one magic gourd... Now I can teach a fairy... Gongsun Liao, I envy you to death, hahaha—"
A hoarse laugh floated over the city wall and then died down.
The short figure lying flat stopped laughing, its webbed feet drooped to the side, its body gradually changed color, turned into rock and quickly spread, turning into a stone toad.
"Old Toad!!!" Gongsun Liao punched the wall next to him, causing the rocks to shatter and fly.
"Master..."
The sad voice buzzed into his ears. Lu Liangsheng bent the fingers placed beside the frog web with difficulty, clenched his teeth and forced himself to look away. Tears rolled down the corners of his eyes. With blurred vision, he looked at the red demon star floating towards him and squeezed out a cold word from between his teeth.
"Great Sage, can Patching the Sky really cut off the endless supply of demon stars?"
"It should be possible, but I don't know if you dare to bet with me this time." The monkey came over with a stick, and saw the Toad Taoist who turned into a stone toad on the wall. He curiously poked him with his hairy fingers, but Gongsun Liao protected him and glared at him fiercely. Then he withdrew his hand in disappointment, "But who will go to mend the sky? Although I am willing to do so, my real body is still under the Five Elements Mountain. I don't have time to go back and forth."
Lu Liangsheng fell silent.
At this moment, a weak "Oh my God!" interrupted his thoughts. Xiaoxue, who was squatting weakly in front of the parapet, slowly stood up while holding the wall.
"Master Lu... I... I am the reincarnation of Nuwa Stone... Let me go."
"you go?"
Lu Liangsheng looked at her pale face and hesitated for a moment, "In the future, you may never be able to return to the world, and you can only..."
"I'll go!" the woman repeated, and then paused. She turned her head slightly and looked in the direction of the city. Suddenly, her white teeth were revealed, and she smiled in that direction. Then she turned back and bowed to Lu Liangsheng and Sun Wukong.
"Master Lu... Could you please tell Brother Jing a few words for me? Just say: If you miss me in the future, look up at the sky, and Xiaoxue will be there."
She bent down, tears falling silently from under her messy hair onto the floor.
Water splashed on the ground, and the ripples of sound echoed in his ears. Lu Liangsheng closed his eyes. He knew that the woman did this to atone for Chen Jing's sins, to make up for his mistakes, and to set an example for the other party. After a moment, he opened his eyes and nodded in agreement.
"good."
Then, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the Yuelong Sword. He looked at the monkey beside him, loosened his clenched teeth, and arched his back heavily.
"Great Sage, will you go with me?"
"Let's go together!"
…
“Ahh—”
Outside the city, Li Yuanba ran wildly and crashed into the group of corpses, swung the iron hammer in his hand, and corpses rushed towards him one by one, and then flew back with the sound of bones and flesh bursting. At a certain moment, he turned around and saw Yang Guang stopping his horse and looking back at the city wall with a bloody face.
Two rays of light shot up from the city and soared into the sky.
Almost at the same time, Hong Lian, Zhu Ganglie and Gongsun Liao looked up at the two points of light that were getting farther and farther away in the night sky, and suddenly a yawn "Wow~~~" came into their ears.
The three of them turned around quickly and saw Toad Taoist sitting on the wall with his belly pressed down, rubbing his toad eyes and smacking his lips.
"What are you looking at me doing? I was injured a little, so I turned into a stone toad to recuperate..."
As he spoke, he suddenly said "Huh?" and looked around.
"Where's Liangsheng?"
The three of them were not sure whether they were angry or a little excited, but they were all shaking. They raised their fingers to the night sky and said in unison: "There!!"
