Chapter 82

The battle between Wu Pifu and the giant boar monster was no longer at a level that mortals could participate in.

So after the two started fighting, all the Jin and Song people fled, but the Jin people fled toward the other three Jin camps, while most of the Song people fled back to Bianliang City.

Originally, Wu Pifu hadn't considered these Jin people.

According to his current strength, he dared to charge even into an army of thousands, and as long as it wasn't a situation like the magic-modified Three Kingdoms, taking the head of a general from among ten thousand troops was truly as easy as reaching into a bag.

Yet he didn't expect that at this moment, these Jin teams would come together.

This had an absolute connection to the bone spurs hidden on the giant boar monster!

This cast some gloom in Wu Pifu's heart.

This giant boar monster was already extremely powerful; if he didn't have the "Pifu" title, he would definitely not be its match.

Not to mention anything else, just the protective shield that appeared on the surface of the giant boar monster's body every time it attacked, he might not be able to break through it with brute force alone.

At this moment, he had used all his strength, even using the demonic possession that served as his trump card, and only then did he barely see a glimmer of victory. But he still couldn't kill this giant boar monster; even after destroying its brain and smashing its boar head, its healing still hadn't ceased.

He wanted to bring it into Bianliang City to see if the means left behind by Chu Minghao would work, treating a dead horse as a living one.

At this time, with those Jin people coming to cause trouble, he really had no idea what to do.

Just as the Jin cavalry brigade was about to break through, suddenly, drum sounds faintly came from further away.

Hearing the drum sounds, Wu Pifu, who had already intended to let the demonic possession go further and then let go of his hands to fight crazily, suddenly raised his head. This still wasn't enough. He immediately jumped onto the giant boar monster again, dodging the pursuit of the bent spurs while looking out into the distance.

And then he saw...

Song soldiers!

There were actually Song soldiers!?

At this time when Bianliang was broken, the two emperors were captured, and the Jingkang Incident occurred, there were actually Song soldiers who dared to sally out of this Bianliang City to fight these Jin people!?

Was this still... the Great Song!?

Wu Pifu was dumbfounded, but a spirit arose spontaneously in his heart.

That depressed spirit that had been accumulating and suppressing ever since he returned to this dream world, which hadn't completely dissipated even after killing Zhao Ji, actually dissipated by more than half at this moment.

Let's pull the time back half an hour.

When Wu Pifu was striding toward Bianliang, Zong Ze also separated from Zhao Gou, but he didn't say he was returning to Bianliang. Instead, he told Zhao Gou that he was going to the surrounding military towns to summon troops to protect Zhao Gou. Moreover, he only took less than ten cavalrymen when he left, so Zhao Gou generously approved his request.

Once separated from Zhao Gou, Zong Ze immediately dispatched five cavalrymen to chase toward Bianliang, while he took the remaining five cavalrymen to the military town closest to Bianliang that had not yet been swept by the Jin soldiers.

Because they were cavalry, and the ten cavalrymen Zong Ze chose were all Great Song border reconnaissance riders, they were familiar with the roads and had enough understanding of the terrain. While Wu Pifu was searching for information in Bianliang City, they arrived around Bianliang, carefully avoiding Jin military sentries and patrols. Afterward, they witnessed Wu Pifu charging into the Jin military camp. Although they didn't know what happened inside, they saw Wu Pifu engaged in a fierce battle with the giant wild boar monster in human form.

During the battle, the Jin military camp was destroyed, and a large number of Jin and Song people began to flee.

This made the five reconnaissance riders extremely excited.

They couldn't imagine that anyone could rival that terrifying giant wild boar monster, let alone defeat it; just rivaling it was already a luxury they didn't dare to imagine.

Seeing this, except for two reconnaissance riders who stayed in the dark to continue observing, the other three went to the three locations mentioned by Zong Ze, spreading the news of what happened in Bianliang to the surroundings.

Actually, unlike what Wu Pifu thought, the Song Dynasty had not completely failed.

In these ten days since Bianliang City fell, while the Jin people were still conducting local street fighting, slaughtering, and looting in Bianliang, there were still more than ten sizable armies or military garrisons around Bianliang. Although these armies and garrisons were not large, they were either guerrilla armies, scattered armies, or small checkpoints and military garrisons.

But they were still fighting against the Jin soldiers and had not given up.

It is hard to leave one's homeland, and hard to part with one's loved ones!

Even if the emperor was a spineless turtle bastard, there were still Han people with backbone!

Whether their blood hadn't cooled yet or they were seeking revenge, they were all trying to come to Bianliang, trying to rescue the two emperors and restore the Eastern Capital!

It's just that their numbers were far less than the Jin soldiers, and they had no organization or logistics. At this time, they were mostly targets for slaughter by the Jin soldiers.

And when the main camp outside Bianliang City was attacked, the fleeing Jin soldiers also spread the news of the attack. Although the Jin soldiers on the front line didn't know about it yet, the reinforcements behind them were gone. Instead, with Zong Ze's return and the reconnaissance riders bringing the news to various military points and armies, an inexplicable atmosphere began to fill the chests of these Han men whose blood hadn't cooled yet.

Their land was occupied, their country was destroyed, their capital was broken, their wives and daughters were humiliated, their parents were killed...

No language was needed, no loud shouting was needed, and no rewards or money were needed. Teams of remnant soldiers stepped out of their hiding spots and strongholds, cavalry units gathered together, long spears were raised toward the sky, and tattered flags were held high in their hands...

These were originally the defeated soldiers who, in history, would be driven away and hunted down as the Jin soldiers stood firm, surviving nine deaths for a lifetime, and fleeing to the south. They would need to experience disappointment after disappointment, and only then would they meet that cross-eyed general, and only then could they make a dream of returning to Bianliang and destroying the Jin under that flag...

But at this moment, after a Pifu who killed the emperor and faced the giant monster of the north appeared, they suddenly had a peculiar luxury.

Zong Ze stood behind the army, his beard and hair seemingly standing on end with excitement. He shouted hoarsely, "Attack, attack, attack! Hold back the Jin soldiers!"

He didn't need to shout; even his shouting on this battlefield was so insignificant. Everyone who rushed back to the surroundings of Bianliang saw from afar the giant wild boar monster lying on its side on the ground like a small hill.

Nearly ten meters high and eighteen or nineteen meters long, this behemoth was the only wild boar monster in this world.

And now, that giant wild boar monster, which had once swept across the north invincible and broken through everything from the Song border to Bianliang in just a few months, was lying on its side on the ground at this very moment.

They couldn't see where Wu Pifu was, but they firmly believed that the immortal, or that disciple of the immortal family, must be slaying demons and eliminating monsters, fighting a life-and-death battle with that wild boar monster. "Riding the wind on a sword, slaying demons between heaven and earth!"

This was the voice that echoed throughout Bianliang a few months ago. All Bianliang people, as well as the surrounding Song people, knew that an immortal had descended to the mortal world and had made an agreement with the Emperor. At the same time, several disciples of the immortal family remained in the Great Song, and they even expelled the evil cult monster followers who committed all kinds of evil.

That disciple of the immortal family was slaying demons and eliminating monsters!

Every Song soldier gripped the iron spear in his hand tightly. There was light in their eyes. Looking at the Jin people in front of them who were turning their backs to them and heading toward the giant wild boar monster, they didn't even need orders to march forward in formation.

The hot blood in Zong Ze's chest seemed to be boiling. He looked at the distant Bianliang City, which was filled with smoke and fire, his eyes full of both anger and tears. He pushed away the soldier in front of the war drum, grabbed the big hammer, and regardless of his sixty-plus years of life, gathered his strength and began to beat the drum.

Boom, boom, boom!

There were fathers and sons holding spears side by side, wounded soldiers stepping on crossbows to shoot from afar, cavalry charging in chains, and Song people following with bamboo poles, hoes, and sickles, their faces full of fear. In Bianliang City, one after another, defeated soldiers and remnant soldiers came out. Facing the ferocious and terrifying Jin people, they rushed forward regardless of everything, even if it was only to block their advance for half a second...

There was a young general, dark-skinned, with one eye big and one small, holding a long spear and shouting to challenge the generals, refusing to retreat even in death...

Wu Pifu stood on the giant boar monster and laughed loudly, willing to suffer injuries on his body just to watch to his heart's content. He shattered the stabbing bent spurs again, and used one arm turned into bone to smash the giant boar monster's boar head again. He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and the indescribable depressed spirit in his heart finally dissipated without a trace at this moment.

At the same time, a cold, blood-like aura rose from his body.

I...

Am not a hero!

I...

!

Do not have such noble patriotism for the country and the people!

I...

Am just a humble Pifu seeking survival!

But!

I am very happy to be able to use my personal battle at this moment to stand side by side with these people who are fighting to the end for their home, country, loved ones, and themselves!!

This is my intent!

A Pifu's anger, blood splashing five steps!

Close at hand, one person rivals a country!

"Go!"

Wu Pifu dragged the giant boar monster and strode toward Bianliang. He felt his heart and chest were incomparably comfortable. Even though he was covered in injuries, even though every breath he took felt like being sliced by a thousand knives, the qi energy in his body seemed to have found a backbone. With a thought, it gathered at his dantian and then erupted toward his entire body at any time, which greatly increased his speed in dragging the giant boar monster, and the healing speed of the wounds on his body also accelerated again.

At this time, Jin cavalry finally charged in. Wu Pifu ran rampant forward in the collision of this cavalry, killing a hundred people in ten steps, his heart stopped but his hands didn't. The road dragged out by the giant boar monster was piled with corpses.

Wu Pifu had dozens of arrows stuck in his back. One of his eyeballs was blinded by a brave half-monster Jin general, his stomach was cut open by a giant sickle, and one of his thighs was pierced by a long spear.

He no longer knew how many Jin people he had killed, nor did he remember how many times he had broken the giant boar monster's boar head.

By this step, his body's healing speed had become very slow, and more than ninety percent of the qi and blood energy in his body had been consumed. But the Jin soldiers were already very scarce. Instead, behind this giant boar monster, hundreds of Song people were using horses, using their bodies to push, drag, and pull.

The giant boar monster's boar head had already entered the North Gate of Bianliang. Whether it was a flash of light before death or because of something else, this giant boar monster's eyes recovered a little sanity from the pitch black. It wailed and roared, "Immortal Master, spare me. Pity my three hundred years of breathing, being cautious, but now I am to be turned to dust. Spare me once, and I am willing to become a disciple under the Immortal Master's seat, serving the Immortal Master as my master..."

Wu Pifu had already felt that some kind of energy was condensing at the palace drill ground. He turned his head to look at the giant boar monster and said, "Give it to me!"

The giant boar monster was stunned and immediately said eagerly, "Give the Immortal Master what!?"

"Give me your life!"

The next moment, Wu Pifu roared, and the last strength in his body erupted, dragging the giant boar monster's head and body up, leaping forward fiercely, and the entire giant boar monster entered this Bianliang City.

In an instant, the world turned black and white, and a light as vast as the sun flashed and poured into the giant boar monster.

In the blink of an eye, the world returned to normal. The giant boar monster's body was blown to pieces, and the mycelia in its body all turned into black energy and dissipated. Its huge boar head was preserved the most completely, its two boar eyes wide open, looking at Wu Pifu just like this.

It was dead as dead could be.

Wu Pifu stumbled and fell to the ground.

He struggled to stand up from the ground, but suddenly found that he was surrounded by people, but everyone was standing ten meters away.

He looked up. He knew that his image now was probably extremely terrifying, and he might even have had some mutations after his body healed due to the demonic possession state.

But looking up, he saw that no one showed fear or hostility.

Whether they were remnant soldiers, generals, Song commoners, or women whose clothes barely covered their bodies, they all looked at him silently.

Among them, Wu Pifu saw Zong Ze, saw the cross-eyed young general, and even saw Zhao Fubao. Finally, he looked around and saw the old man in a corner, with two children, a boy and a girl, standing obediently beside him.

The whole scene was silent. Everyone looked at Wu Pifu silently, and Wu Pifu also looked at him silently.

Then, one person clasped his fists, two people bowed, three people bent their waists, four people kowtowed...

Around Wu Pifu, layer upon layer, he didn't know how many layers there were, inside and out. Whether adults or children, whether men or women, old or young, they all used their etiquette to face Wu Pifu.

Wu Pifu only had one arm that still looked human, and the other arm was only bone, but he still laughed and clasped his fists in return.

"Outsider Wu Pifu."

"Nice to meet you!"
