Chapter 170: God of Slaughter

On the city wall, a single roar drew everyone's attention. A burly man bellowed, his eyes sharp, his beard rugged; it was Zhou Xun from Luosie City.

"Jiang Jiang Mingyu, you traitor, get out here now!" His voice was sharp and wild, like a fierce beast wanting to tear apart its prey.

Hearing this, Tu Tu Kesiluo sprang up, fury burning in his eyes. He was about to strike with his blade when Jiang Jiang Mingyu stopped him. Jiang Jiang Mingyu knew that although Tu Tu Kesiluo was brave, the enemy forces were numerous; acting rashly would only trap him in a deadly situation.

Jiang Jiang Mingyu walked up to the city tower. Facing Zhou Xun's provocation, his expression was stern, yet his eyes held a deep calm.

"Zhou Xun, what is the meaning of this?" His voice was cold, like the wind atop an ice mountain, piercing and ruthless.

Zhou Xun laughed loudly, his eyes filled with fanaticism and malice. "Jiang Jiang Mingyu, you killed Lord Lu; we have come for revenge! You traitor, today you must die!"

A thought struck Jiang Jiang Mingyu's heart: so Zhou Xun was an old friend of Lu Kai; no wonder he was so agitated.

At that moment, Tu Tu Kesiluo could no longer hold back. Wielding the long blade in his hand like a wild wolf, he charged straight at Zhou Xun.

"You beast, die!" His voice shook the heavens, filled with killing intent.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiang Mingyu was greatly alarmed. "Tu Tu Kesiluo, beware of the ambush!" he shouted urgently, hoping to stop Tu Tu Kesiluo's impulsiveness.

Watching all this, Zhou Xun curled a cold smile at the corner of his mouth. "Jiang Jiang Mingyu, your death is certain today! I will make you know what the fate of a traitor is!"

Hearing this, Jiang Jiang Mingyu felt no fear whatsoever. He knew that now, at this critical moment of life and death, only a desperate last stand offered a chance of survival.

The flags on the city wall snapped loudly in the wind. The two armies faced each other, waiting for a single battle to decide life or death.

Zhou Xun's foul mouth made Tu Tu Kesiluo tremble all over with rage.

Just as he steadied his stance, he suddenly raised the great blade in his hand, eyes blood-red, and roared.

"You bastard! Go to hell, Laozi commands you!"

Having spoken, he rushed at Zhou Xun with all his might, the blade-light flashing like lightning, killing intent surging toward the sky.

And just then, the thing Jiang Jiang Mingyu feared most happened.

Only a voice from below the city tower was heard shouting loudly.

"Brothers, Jiang Jiang Mingyu is a great traitor; he killed the Magistrate and the Commandant, forcing us to surrender."

"Now the reinforcements from Luosie City have arrived; the day of death for Jiang Jiang Mingyu and this black-faced man has come."

"Let us cooperate with the people of Luosie City, turn around and kill them, and avenge our fallen lords!"

No sooner had the words fallen than all the Dongping City defense soldiers who had surrendered grabbed their weapons and launched a frenzied attack on the Shangmu soldiers wearing different clothes.

The Shangmu soldiers were completely unprepared; in an instant they were caught off guard, flesh and blood flying everywhere.

The corpses and the smell of blood stimulated the nerves of the Shangmu soldiers; they too drew their swords and engaged the Dongping City defense soldiers in a life-and-death struggle.

Jiang Jiang Mingyu had never encountered such a chaotic situation.

He was so anxious that his head was covered in sweat, his heart racing with worry.

What to do? What to do?

Suddenly, a light flashed before his eyes, and an idea occurred to him.

He immediately shouted loudly.

"Tu Tu Kesiluo! Quickly! Kill Zhou Xun!"

The reason the Dongping City defense soldiers dared to rebel was that Zhou Xun and the four thousand elite troops behind him had given them confidence.

As long as Zhou Xun could be beheaded and his forces scattered, relying on the combat power and morale of the Shangmu soldiers, everything still had a chance to turn around.

Hearing Jiang Jiang Mingyu's shout, Tu Tu Kesiluo, who was charging toward Zhou Xun, immediately understood his intention.

Braving the cold wind and splashing blood, he roared loudly.

"Dog thief! Just you wait!"

From beginning to end, Zhou Xun had not taken Tu Tu Kesiluo seriously.

Coupled with the rebellion of the Dongping City defense soldiers, he felt victory was already in his grasp.

He could not help but burst into loud laughter.

"Jiang Jiang Mingyu! You are a traitor who deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces! Do you still not admit it?"

"Even your own subordinates have betrayed you! This is the will of heaven!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the long blade in Tu Tu Kesiluo's hand, flashing with cold light, already cleaving toward his neck.

It was too late for Zhou Xun to dodge. The disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth had not yet faded when the sharp blade pierced his throat.

Tu Tu Kesiluo merely turned his blade, producing a dull thud. Zhou Xun's head, like a soccer ball, flew toward the battle group at the city gate.

Immediately after, his long blade came down again with a fierce chop, splitting Zhou Xun's corpse into several pieces.

His movements were clean and decisive, showing no mercy.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Tu Tu Kesiluo's heroic performance, Jiang Jiang Mingyu was overjoyed.

He hurriedly said to Tu Tu Kesiluo.

"Well done! You are truly a man!"

Then, he shouted to the Shangmu soldiers.

"Brothers! Zhou Xun is dead! His troops are in chaos! Let us press our advantage and kill them all!"

Having spoken, he too grabbed the blade in his hand and led the charge toward the enemy.

Seeing Jiang Jiang Mingyu's decisiveness and courage, the Shangmu soldiers' morale surged greatly.

They all followed Jiang Jiang Mingyu, launching a final charge against the enemy.

Just then, Tu Tu Kesiluo, alone, raised his blade and charged to kill nearly four thousand enemy soldiers wielding weapons; Jiang Jiang Mingyu's heart nearly jumped out of his throat.

This brat is too fierce; isn't this asking for death!

Jiang Jiang Mingyu was so worried that his hands clenched into eagle claws, fearing that in an instant he would see Tu Tu Kesiluo chopped into minced meat.

Tu Tu Kesiluo's expression was resolute, his eyes radiating overwhelming killing intent. He charged left and right, blade-light flashing, so fast that Jiang Jiang Mingyu's eyes grew dizzy.

Puchi! An enemy soldier's head flew off his shoulder and neck in response, tracing a beautiful parabola in midair before "smack" hitting the ground, marrow and brain splattering in all directions, splashing Jiang Jiang Mingyu's face with sticky blood.

"Damn, damn, damn!" Jiang Jiang Mingyu cried out in shock, nearly fainting.

Before Jiang Jiang Mingyu could catch his breath, several crisp "pish-pish" sounds rang out again; he saw several enemy soldiers being severed by Tu Tu Kesiluo's fierce blade, with severed limbs and internal organs splattered all over the ground.

The crisp sound of flesh being sliced was terrifying; Jiang Jiang Mingyu shivered directly, his half-body going numb and weak.

At first, the enemy soldiers were timid as mice, shrinking back and daring not to approach after witnessing Tu Tu Kesiluo's prowess. But gradually, their killing intent was stirred; they fought over who could rush forward, holding swords, spears, and shields, surging toward Tu Tu Kesiluo like a violent tide.

Just as Jiang Jiang Mingyu was worried sick, he heard Tu Tu Kesiluo let out a mighty roar, and the man leaped up like a nimble leopard.

Jiang Jiang Mingyu watched with wide eyes and open mouth as Tu Tu Kesiluo flipped in mid-air; his blade swept through, and another enemy soldier instantly fell apart, splashing bone marrow and brain matter all over my face.

"Holy crap!" Jiang Jiang Mingyu was terrified, nearly fainting again.

It was too cruel; he was simply like an Asura who had run out of hell!

Before Jiang Jiang Mingyu could come to his senses, another series of "pili-pala" clashing sounds from swords and blades rang out, followed by a "aiyo" cry of agony; an enemy soldier fell to the ground instantly, and only then did Jiang Jiang Mingyu realize Tu Tu Kesiluo's left arm had a bloody gash.

It seemed Tu Tu Kesiluo was also gradually unable to hold on; indeed, he was still human, not a god.

Just then, two enemy soldiers took the opportunity to thrust at Tu Tu Kesiluo from front and back, their spear tips pointing directly at Tu Tu Kesiluo's lower back and waist, determined to take his life.

Jiang Jiang Mingyu almost cried out, while Tu Tu Kesiluo, with divine form and movement, performed a hollow somersault, just avoiding the two spears.

But in the instant he retreated, he was still slashed by another enemy soldier's long spear, drawing a blood trail; blood instantly dyed his white clothes red...

Jiang Jiang Mingyu watched as Tu Tu Kesiluo, fighting alone against the enemy army, was surrounded squarely; this was bad, he thought Tu Tu Kesiluo was done for!

A group of enemy soldiers, eyes red with rage, desperately rushed toward Tu Tu Kesiluo, chopping knives dancing wildly, cursing loudly: "Kill this beast, avenge the Captain!" "Chop him up, chop him up!"

Jiang Jiang Mingyu was anxious, fearing that in the next second Tu Tu Kesiluo would be chopped into minced meat.

He saw Tu Tu Kesiluo covered in blood, his sharpened blade flashing with a cold, eerie light under the chill.

He performed a somersault that turned heaven and earth upside down, swiftly killing two more enemy soldiers; a flash blinded Jiang Jiang Mingyu's eyes, and he nearly fainted.

Just as Jiang Jiang Mingyu could no longer bear to watch, Shang Mubing finally fought his way from the city gate, chopping and killing while shouting: "Save the Emperor! Protect General Tu!"

Only then did Jiang Jiang Mingyu breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that with someone to help, Tu Tu Kesiluo had finally saved his life.

But it was too early for Jiang Jiang Mingyu to be happy; he saw Tu Tu Kesiluo suddenly stumble, and scarlet blood instantly soaked through his pristine military uniform.

"Damn it, it seems I, Tu Tu Kesiluo, am to be buried here!" he smiled bitterly; Jiang Jiang Mingyu's heart immediately rose to his throat.

At this critical moment, Jiang Jiang Mingyu shouted loudly: "Tu Tu Kesiluo, be careful! All soldiers, retreat! Fire arrows!" A dense rain of arrows filled the air, piercing through the screaming enemy soldiers; in moments, corpses lay everywhere, and a thick, bloody smell spread in all directions.
