Chapter 456: Recovery

The sky had already turned dark, occasionally a few beams of moonlight projected from the clouds, snowflakes fell on the wide-open eyeballs, blended with the blood that had lost its temperature, and gradually congealed into ice shells with beautiful patterns on the eyeballs.

Pish.

A boot stepped over, crushing the ice shell together with the eyeball.

"Kill!"

A long sword was lifted from beside a boot, clashing with a long saber swinging toward it, sparking tiny embers. The saber and sword clashed, trembling in a stalemate for a moment before being guided to the side by a sudden twist and pull of the long saber. Then, the long saber seized the opportunity to thrust in, splitting a skull in one blow.

Cao Cao Hanyan drew his knife, but it was stuck by the skull. He gritted his teeth and stepped on the corpse's chest to pull the knife out. Taking advantage of the temporary lack of opponents around, he rushed forward a few steps, leaped onto the Fengtian Gate, and looked left and right.

From the beginning of the battle until now, it was about a minute.

But from the beginning, it went in the most intense direction.

Everyone was fighting for their lives.

Mei Qinghe's long sword had been changed three times, and the long sword in his hand now was already chipped; Ge Anyu's black ruler was not damaged, but his vibration martial arts consumed too much true energy, and after smashing several people, he started to swing the black ruler to draw people; An Ziyang's mechanism Gu insects were almost exhausted, and after releasing a wave, he turned back to the imperial guards to command, and was now leading the imperial guards to intercept the Ordinary Jianghu people trying to rush the pass.

Just as Cao Cao Hanyan was trying to find Liu Jin in the crowd, suddenly a loud noise came from the side.

Boom!!!

Dust and smoke filled the air, Cao Cao Hanyan turned his head to look.

The wall of the Fengtian Gate collapsed, revealing a gap.

An Eastern Depot Heaven-Man with one arm missing rushed out from the dust and smoke, while struggling to block the pursuing eunuchs, shouting loudly: "This way! This way!"

The crowd surged toward the gap.

Cao Cao Hanyan gritted his teeth and was about to go to support.

Boom! Boom!

Two more loud noises, the wall collapsed again.

Two Eastern Depot Heaven-Men risked injury to forcefully collapse the wall again; one escaped with the surging crowd, and one was heavily injured when forcefully rushing over, and had his head shattered by the pursuing eunuch on the spot.

Three loopholes.

The defense of the Fengtian Gate was already difficult to take care of.

Several Ordinary Jianghu people took advantage of the gap before the military formation blocked it and rushed through the gap.

Ge Anyu, who was closest, saw this situation and was about to chase after them.

"Brother Ge, don't chase!"

"We don't need to seek perfection; don't worry about those who escaped, as long as we block most of them here, Zheng Zheng Anqi and Liu Jin's plan won't succeed!"

Cao Cao Hanyan stopped him, flew down, and stood side by side with him to guard the gap.

Several teams of imperial guards rushed over, converged with the two, and blocked the gap.

An Ziyang in the military formation scanned the surroundings and counted silently in his heart.

"Fifty-seven... fifty-eight corpses, Liu Jin brought three hundred and eighty people, now only one hundred and thirty or forty are left; just looking at the quantity, it should already not be enough for Zheng Zheng Anqi to restore his state... No, no, there are still more."

His gaze moved to the Eastern Depot Heaven-Men who were fighting with the eunuchs not far away.

"There are still four Eastern Depot Heaven-Men."

"According to what the Commander said, Zheng Zheng Anqi's method of selecting grain, the stronger the Qi, blood, and spirit, the better the effect; wouldn't Heaven-Men be the best grain? One of these could be worth ten or twenty Ordinary Jianghu people. Just now I saw Liu Jin seemed to be in control, maybe he had long prepared to use these Eastern Depot Heaven-Men as Zheng Zheng Anqi's reserve grain."

"Be safe... kill them, then there will be no more future troubles!"

An Ziyang narrowed his eyes and waved his hand suddenly. The messenger waved the military flag, the military formation moved slowly, gradually approaching a pair of eunuchs and Eastern Depot Heaven-Men who were fighting. At a distance of ten zhang, it suddenly scattered and accelerated, completing the encirclement within a few breaths.

By the time that Eastern Depot Heaven-Man realized something was wrong and tried to rush out of the encirclement, it was already too late.

The military formation, at least for Heaven-Men at the eunuch level, still had a great threat. Especially since this Eastern Depot Heaven-Man was already injured and could only barely support the eunuch's offensive. Now that he was surrounded, the army only needed to harass him, making him unable to take care of one thing and lose another, and he would be killed by the eunuch within ten moves.

An Ziyang narrowed his eyes and said suddenly.

"Kill! Quick battle quick—"

At this very instant!

Boom!!!!!

The main gate of the Gate of Heavenly Protection collapsed with a roar. It was as if a meteorite had fallen from the sky and smashed into it; the ground across the entire plaza shook, and the snow on the ground was kicked up.

The next instant, the shockwave spread out.

A huge amount of air was splashed toward the surroundings, as if it were substantial, blowing away the weapons, gravel, and accumulated snow scattered on the ground.

An Ziyang suddenly interrupted his words just now, a violent shout.

"Escape!!!" ===== CHAPTER 457 =====
