Chapter 125
"Woo..."
The next day, early morning.
A low horn sound resounded through the clouds, and many warriors in the entire city were instantly awakened.
They got up one after another and rushed toward the city walls.
On the streets of the town, a large number of warriors were like a tide, holding weapons, their faces full of murderous aura.
After more than half a year of bloody battles, everyone was no stranger to this kind of horn sound; it was the signal for that group of evil cultists to launch a major offensive.
Lu Changsheng also walked out of the courtyard and rushed rapidly toward the street ahead.
Flying all the way, he soon arrived at the city wall.
At this moment, the city wall was already filled with dense crowds of strongmen.
The person in the lead wore a set of white armor, his face resolute, but his complexion was slightly pale.
This person was exactly the Xuanjia Army Commander, the guardian god in the hearts of the people of the county city, Wei Shaoxuan.
Behind him stood six Rebirth Realm strongmen with soaring momentum.
Among them were two late-stage Rebirth Realm and four mid-stage Rebirth Realm strongmen.
One of the old men with a pigeon-like face had sharp light in his eyes, a thin figure, and hands like chicken claws.
The other party was exactly one of the foundations of the Demon Suppression Office, Gong Changfeng, in the late-stage Rebirth Realm.
Around these few people, some early-stage Rebirth Realm strongmen stood scattered.
The momentum of the group intertwined, stirring up violent gales, as if even the clouds in the high sky were shaken away.
Seeing Lu Changsheng arrive, Tong Yuhua and the others' eyes lit up, and they hurriedly walked toward Lu Changsheng.
Everyone understood that in such a large-scale war, only by huddling together could they better survive.
This small group had already experienced many large-scale wars, and each time they relied on Lu Changsheng's powerful strength to break out of the encirclement, so they naturally trusted him incomparably.
"Patrol Envoy Lu, we are going to fight side by side again."
Tong Yuhua smiled beautifully, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.
"You and I will just face the enemy together."
Lu Changsheng smiled slightly, and after the two looked at each other, they set a plan tacitly.
The two often went out of the city to carry out missions, so this kind of scene was no stranger to them.
At this time, Lu Changsheng cast his gaze outside the city.
He saw a woman with a slender figure standing prettily at the front of the formation, wearing half a mask on her face, making it hard to see her clearly.
The other party's figure was extremely seductive, and a red robe perfectly displayed her curvaceous shape.
This woman exuded an extremely terrifying aura from her whole body, as deep as an abyss.
The many evil cultists around did not dare to look directly at her, and all lowered their heads slightly with faces full of respect.
On the edge of the city wall, many government warriors saw the other party's grace, swallowed their saliva one after another, and a trace of warmth rose in their lower abdomens.
"The charm technique of this demoness Zhao Yuanjing has become increasingly refined."
Lu Changsheng's expression was as calm as water.
Not only that, he sensed an extremely powerful threat from the other party.
That was the power of some kind of demon; the other party clearly had already mastered it maturely, and it was absolutely not something those half-baked Guardians could compare to.
He scanned the surroundings; the large number of low-level warriors beside him were already red-faced, wishing they could rush up and press this demoness down to ravage her fiercely.
"Commander Wei, why insist on selling your life for the government? How about coming to my Holy Sect to be a Deputy Sect Leader? This slave will definitely sweep the bed to welcome you..."
Zhao Yuanjing blinked her eyes, her tone very frivolous.
It was as if waves of light were flowing in her eyes, making people want to immerse themselves in them.
Some people with low cultivation were unable to control themselves, staring fixedly at the other party.
"Hmph..."
Wei Shaoxuan let out a cold snort, which resounded through the entire venue, waking up the many low-level warriors around.
"There's no need to use such small tricks; let's just see the real truth under our hands."
He said slowly, his tone incomparably cold.
"Kill."
At this time, Zhao Yuanjing waved her hand and directly issued the attack command.
"Whoosh..."
Behind her, a large number of evil sect strongmen rushed toward the city gate, like a tide.
The momentum of the six people in the lead was the most astonishing, and bursts of murderous aura rushed straight into the clouds.
Among them, four were exactly the four Guardians who had surrounded and killed Lu Changsheng, Yu Zhangyuan and the others.
The other two wore long black robes, their faces withered, their eyes cold.
These two were the first and second Guardians of the evil sect, with late-stage Rebirth Realm strength.
"Everyone, take action immediately to intercept this group of evil cultists..."
Wei Shaoxuan roared, his loud voice rushing straight into the sky.
Following his order, the great battle between the two sides instantly erupted.
"Hum..."
Personnel from both sides immediately drew their bows and shot arrows at each other; countless arrows traveled through the void, as if they could cover the sky and block the sun.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Immediately after, a large number of low-level warriors held large shields and raised their blades to kill.
Warriors from both sides collided in an instant, and violent collision sounds resounded through the clouds.
All kinds of shouts, weapon collision sounds, and bone-cracking sounds intertwined; the entire battlefield was filled with rolling dust and smoke, and murderous aura soared to the sky.
The six Rebirth Realm strongmen from both the government and the evil sect also dispatched one after another, fighting extremely fiercely near the city gate.
Lu Changsheng also found a middle-aged evil sect man in the mid-stage of Blood Transmutation, and as his long blade danced, he firmly suppressed the other party.
While "striving" to control his strength to avoid accidentally killing the other party, he carefully observed the entire battlefield.
He also felt a bit strange in his heart.
This demoness Zhao Yuanjing went to great pains to attack the town, but until now, she hadn't shown any sign of being able to break the city.
It was clearly somewhat abnormal.
The other party was not a fool to let this group of subordinates die.
Just at this time.
Wei Shaoxuan took action instantly.
He kicked his feet, rushed out as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, arrived in front of Zhao Yuanjing, stabbing forward with his sword.
Sharp sword light flickered in the void, as if it could pierce everything.
Zhao Yuanjing was not to be outdone, drew a blood-red long sword, and stabbed forward fiercely.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The two collided instantly, and violent collision sounds resounded through the clouds.
The energy around them splashed wantonly, stirring up layers of smoke and clouds, and even the bricks and stones on the ground were shattered by the aftermath of their exchange.
With one strike.
Both of them retreated several meters away and landed steadily on the ground.
In their first probe, the two fought to a draw.
Lu Changsheng looked at the scene of the two exchanging blows, his eyes flickering uncertainly.
There was clearly demon blood essence in this demoness's body, and she was still hiding her strength.
If her strength erupted, it might be even above Wei Shaoxuan's.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Next, Zhao Yuanjing and the other person rushed toward each other again, engaging in fierce combat.
Snow-white sword light shuttled through the void, and a radius of more than ten meters turned into an ocean of sword Qi, which was extremely astonishing.
Many warriors nearby retreated to the surroundings with faces full of terror.
This kind of strength was already not far from an Innate martial artist; she was worthy of being one of the strongest people in the entire Changping County.
Lu Changsheng also looked at the two exchanging blows with a solemn face.
With this kind of strength, even he was still a bit short; a strongman at the perfection of the Rebirth Realm was indeed not to be underestimated.
Not to mention that these two were probably the top figures among Rebirth Realm strongmen.
When the two drew their swords, their moves seemed to carry some kind of inexplicable power.
There was a faint feeling of inducing the power of heaven and earth, making Lu Changsheng quite vigilant.
"Is this the Martial Dao True Intent?"
A thought moved slightly in Lu Changsheng's heart.
It is rumored that if a martial artist wants to break through to the Innate stage, Martial Dao True Intent is indispensable.
Only by using an incomparably powerful Martial Dao True Intent to break the bridge of heaven and earth and induce spiritual energy to irrigate the body can one become an Innate martial artist and possess a long lifespan.
Of course, there was another possibility for breakthrough, which was taking an "Innate Pill," but because there was no Martial Dao True Intent, coupled with using external force to break through, the strength would also be much weaker.
Lu Changsheng naturally would not use pills; he only needed a large number of Source Energy Points to pile it up all the way, which would be a perfect breakthrough.
Lu Changsheng also didn't expect that these two had actually begun to comprehend Martial Dao True Intent; they were indeed not comparable to others.
Presumably, the other few Deputy Hall Masters were about the same, as well as the few strongmen of the Black Mountain Bandits.
These people were the strongest combat power in Changping County.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The forces of both sides fought bloody battles at the city gate without end, and bursts of murderous aura intertwined, making even the scorching sun in the high sky appear somewhat dim.
This battle lasted until evening, and the shouts of killing gradually ceased.
"Bang..."
Zhao Yuanjing stabbed her sword toward the tip of Wei Shaoxuan's sword, and a counter-shock force suddenly struck.
Borrowing this force, her entire body flashed, and then she retreated rapidly, extremely gracefully.
"Withdraw."
Seeing this, the many evil sect strongmen retreated toward the rear, like a tide.
Soon they disappeared from the battlefield, leaving behind countless corpses and remains on the ground.
A large amount of fresh blood dyed the entire ground bricks and stones red.
Bursts of bloody smell filled the entire battlefield.
"We won, we won..."
A group of warriors cheered one after another, with great momentum.
Everyone once again worked together to repel that group of evil cultists.
Lu Changsheng stared at Zhao Yuanjing's receding figure, his eyes moving slightly.
This battle was quite easy, and there was a feeling that it was a bit strange.
The other party had been attacking for so long without any progress; he didn't believe there was no conspiracy.
"Is Patrol Envoy Lu suspicious of something?"
At this time, Tong Yuhua beside him smiled faintly.
"With Commander Wei's strength, it is enough to block this evil cult Sovereign." Lu Changsheng smiled noncommittally and didn't speak.
No matter what conspiracy the other party had, for him, it was nothing more than soldiers coming to block and water coming to cover.
With his own strength, he could also deal with everything.
Time passed slowly.
In a flash, two months passed.
Over these days, the forces of both sides engaged in fierce exchanges in Fulong Town, and a large number of strongmen fell one after another.
However, under Wei Shaoxuan's leadership, the government warriors firmly guarded this town.
Making it difficult for that group of evil cult demons to cross the thunder pool by even a step.
On this day, around noon.
Strongmen from both sides gathered near the city wall, and following the order of the leaders on both sides, the great battle erupted again as usual.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Endless murderous aura rushed straight into the clouds, and the entire battlefield was filled with all kinds of shouts of killing and weapon collision sounds.
A large number of strongmen fought bloody battles at the edge of the city wall, lasting until evening.
According to convention, just when many government warriors thought the other party was about to retreat, an unexpected change occurred.
Zhao Yuanjing, who was fighting Wei Shaoxuan at the edge of the jungle ahead, suddenly erupted with a powerful blood-evil aura.
Her face was instantly covered with snow-white patterns, a pair of eyes were extremely red, and a snow-white fox tail grew at her waist.
The momentum of her entire body was climbing step by step, as if there was no limit.
"Demonization?"
Seeing this situation, cold light flickered in Lu Changsheng's eyes.
The other party's demonization was extremely complete, as if she was about to turn into a real demon.
It was completely incomparable to the few Guardians last time.
And after the other party demonized, Lu Changsheng sensed a powerful feeling of threat.
"Is the other party a demon?"
Many warriors on the city wall looked at the Sovereign with faces full of terror.
This aura was too terrifying, making people unable to raise any intention of resisting.
Even Tong Yuhua and the others were vigilant, their bodies even trembling slightly.
That feeling of being stared at by a natural enemy made people tremble with fear.
At this time, the battlefield of the two people ahead had another wave.
"Kill."
Wei Shaoxuan's expression was incomparably cold, the sword Qi in his long sword crisscrossed, and as he danced, it seemed as if he could cut through the void.
He began to erupt to the extreme.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The two fought bloody battles at the edge of the jungle, and as time passed, Zhao Yuanjing relied on demon power to firmly suppress Wei Shaoxuan.
As the two exchanged blows, the movement became more and more intense, and the battlefield gradually moved toward the depths of the jungle.
Many government warriors on the city wall saw Wei Shaoxuan blocking the demoness and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
They erupted with twelve points of strength one after another, firmly blocking the group of evil cultists ahead outside the city.
Time passed, and soon it was evening.
Just when many government warriors thought they had won again today, a loud roar resounded through the clouds.
"Gong Changfeng, what are you doing!"
A man in black from the government looked at Gong Changfeng with a face full of terror.
He saw Gong Changfeng, who was fighting the evil sect Guardian, suddenly turn his spear, and slash fiercely with his blade at the government strongman in the late-stage of Rebirth Realm next to him.
Gong Changfeng's face was also covered with blood-colored patterns, and the evil aura around his body greatly increased.
Under the pincer attack of the two, the government man in the late-stage of Rebirth Realm could not dodge in time and was directly pierced through the chest by a pitch-black sharp claw.
The man looked at Gong Changfeng with a face full of disbelief.
"You are... a demon..."
Subsequently, this Rebirth Realm strongman slowly fell backward, his eyes full of unwillingness.
"Not good, Gong Changfeng is a traitor."
A large number of warriors looked at Gong Changfeng with faces full of anger.
This person had hidden too deeply, hiding in the Demon Suppression Office for decades, but today he suddenly erupted, which was something no one had expected.
Many city guards on the city wall were also full of despair; if the city was broken, the tens of thousands of people inside would all die without a whole corpse.
"Kill."
Gong Changfeng led a group of evil sect Guardians to kill the many government Rebirth Realm strongmen.
The murderous aura rolled like smoke, making people incomparably terrified.
"The situation has changed, hurry to the county city to move reinforcements!"
At this time, a middle-aged man in a yellow robe shouted loudly.
The loud voice resounded through the entire venue.
This person was also a mid-stage Rebirth Realm strongman in the Demon Suppression Office.
"Whoosh..."
Hearing this, everyone rushed in all directions, like frightened birds.
"Don't worry about the city for now, kill this group of government strongmen first..."
Several evil sect Guardians had murderous intent erupting in their eyes.
For them, being able to kill more government strongmen could reduce some pressure on the day of the decisive battle.
A large number of evil sect strongmen also rushed toward the many government warriors, and murderous aura permeated the entire battlefield.
As early as when Gong Changfeng erupted and made trouble, Lu Changsheng had discovered the abnormality.
"Follow quickly."
He directly led Yue Shulan and the others to rush toward the side battlefield.
Tong Yuhua and Yue Shulan and the others did not dare to be negligent and immediately followed closely behind.
Seeing someone blocking the way ahead, Lu Changsheng slashed several times in succession, cleanly killing the person blocking the way, then brought the few people out of the battlefield, and then everyone arrived in a small forest.
Yue Shulan and the others looked at Lu Changsheng with faces full of surprise, their hearts even more full of awe.
Among the evil cultists who blocked the way just now, there were also late-stage Blood Transmutation strongmen, but they couldn't even block one of Lu Changsheng's blade strikes.
Yue Shulan and the others didn't even dare to imagine what level the other party's strength had reached.
"It's safe here for now; let's disperse and flee back to the county city."
Lu Changsheng's expression was as calm as water.
Next, he planned to start executing his plan.
Those four Guardians who had surrounded and killed him must die today.
"Everyone take care."
Tong Yuhua nodded solemnly.
Then she turned and rushed rapidly toward the rear, disappearing into the jungle in the blink of an eye.
Yue Shulan and the others also said goodbye to each other and dispersed in all directions; soon only Lu Changsheng was left on the field.
Seeing that the few people had already gone far.
Lu Changsheng immediately began to operate the Shrink Bone Skill.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The bones and muscles all over his body changed violently, and soon he turned into a man with a slender figure.
The mysterious strongman Ye Chen was online again.
Next, Lu Changsheng kicked his feet and chased in the direction of the four Guardians.
After a few flashes, he disappeared.
Half an hour later.
Yue Shulan and Xiao Chao and the others were surrounded by many strongmen in an open space.
Not far ahead, four mid-stage Rebirth Realm Guardians were also fighting with four government Rebirth Realm strongmen, and the movement was extremely intense.
"That group of evil cultists was prepared long ago; they have set up a net in all directions, and we can't escape..."
Yue Shulan's tone was somewhat desperate.
"I wonder how Lord Lu is doing?"
Xiao Chao's eyes were full of solemnity.
"Presumably with Patrol Envoy Lu's strength, he must have broken out of the encirclement."
Tong Yuhua gritted her teeth, her face full of unwillingness.
If nothing unexpected happened, it would be difficult for them to kill their way out, and if they weren't careful, they would all fall here.
"Those few Rebirth Realm strongmen are also in danger; once the traitor Gong Changfeng arrives, they won't be able to escape, and they will all die then."
Her tone was incomparably grim.
The many government warriors surrounded on the field were all full of despair.
Just at this moment, an unexpected change occurred.
"Whoosh..."
An incomparably bright blade light flashed from the distant horizon, instantly penetrating the center of the battlefield, at Yu Zhangyuan's neck.
"You..."
Yu Zhangyuan clutched his neck, his face full of disbelief as he fell toward the ground.
At this time, a man in green walked out from the end of the blade light, the long blade in his hand still dripping with blood.
"It's Lord Ye, we are saved..."
Seeing this, everyone on the field was full of terror.
They began to cheer one after another, the momentum shaking the sky.
Tong Yuhua and the others felt even more monstrous waves in their hearts.
Slashing a mid-stage Rebirth Realm strongman with one blade was simply terrifying to the extreme.
This kind of strength was absolutely that of a strongman in the entire Changping County.
The remaining three Guardians also looked at Lu Changsheng with faces full of terror.
They didn't expect that in a short period of time, the other party's strength had actually surged again.
Yu Zhangyuan couldn't even block one blade; although this was the result of the other party's sneak attack, it was enough to prove the terror of the other party's strength.
"Run, this person is not someone we can block; immediately ask the Sovereign to take action."
The three of them had already been scared out of their wits and fled toward the rear one after another.
