Chapter 102: Chaos! City Broken!

For the next few days.

A large group of heretic cult bandits outside the city still attacked the small town every day.

However, what was quite strange was that the two Blood Exchange experts of the heretic cult were only directing in front of the formation and did not make a move, which made many martial artists in the city somewhat puzzled.

As time passed, many people even speculated that the other party's target was not this town.

These days of attacks were just feints.

These rumors also gradually spread in the city.

Some people relaxed their vigilance one after another.

Five days later.

At noon, black clouds covered the top, and the yin wind roared.

"Woo, woo, woo..."

Bursts of low horn sounds echoed through the clouds, mixed with the howling of the wild wind.

All the martial artists and City Guard Army in the small town reacted instantly.

That group of heretic cult bandits started attacking the city again.

"Whoosh..."

A large number of martial artists pushed open the courtyard doors one after another and rushed toward the city gate quickly; a group of civilians on the street also ran back into the house, and the entire small town was noisy.

Everything seemed so orderly.

After experiencing several siege and defense battles, everyone gradually adapted.

Coupled with the Town Mayor's constant propaganda, some civilians in the town were no longer afraid.

They were all certain that the group of heretic cultists could not break this town at all, and they all felt relieved.

Lu Zhangsheng also walked out of the courtyard and rushed forward quickly.

Not long after, he arrived at the city wall again.

At this moment, a group of martial artists in the town had already gathered on the city wall, but their faces appeared quite calm, not in the previous tense state.

Tong Yuhua and Yue Shulan's group were also gathered together, their expressions equally relaxed.

These days, although the heretic cult attacked the city one after another, there was no trace of being able to break this town at all.

"Kill."

Duan Zhanghe roared.

The loud voice echoed throughout the field, as if a beast were roaring, making everyone in the city feel pain in their eardrums.

Following this, a large number of heretic cult bandits rushed toward the city wall like a tide.

This group of people had baleful expressions, holding bows, crossbows, and short spears.

"Shoot."

Countless arrow rains shot toward the city gate, and even the high-altitude scorching sun was blocked by a corner, the momentum shocking.

Immediately after, a group of people in black carried small scaling ladders and rushed toward the city wall quickly.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the wall and leaned the ladders against the wall surface.

These heretic cultists acted quite methodically, actually knowing how to act under the cover of arrow rain, clearly trained by specialists.

"Form a formation, kill."

Seeing this, Mo Wanyun's expression was cold, waving his hand, and issued an attack order.

A group of City Guard Army immediately began to act, raising their shields one after another to form a whole piece, resisting the high-altitude arrow rain and short spears.

These scenes had already happened many times, and everyone was quite proficient.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Violent collision sounds echoed through the clouds, and there were also many screams of soldiers.

Clearly, many soldiers did not completely block the high-altitude arrow rain.

A large amount of blood sprayed on the entire city wall, quite tragic.

Shouts of killing, weapon collision sounds, became the main melody of the entire battlefield.

A sense of tragic killing shrouded everyone's hearts.

Lu Zhangsheng resisted the arrow rain while staring fixedly at the two Blood Exchange experts of the heretic cult.

This Duan Zhanghe's strength was not bad, and he was not a weakling even in the late stage of Blood Exchange.

Even he did not have one hundred percent certainty of suppressing and killing the other party in the army.

As for the other expert of the Black Mountain Bandits, he was weaker, only having Blood Exchange mid-stage strength.

If he struck with all his might, it wouldn't take long to kill the other party.

Yue Shulan and the others were also cautiously surrounding Lu Zhangsheng, very wise.

They always remembered Lu Zhangsheng's warning; although the small town looked solid as a rock, the group still did not completely relax their vigilance.

"Strike."

Just then, Duan Zhanghe roared, holding a long blade, his legs kicked, and he rushed toward the city wall quickly.

Behind him followed a group of Bone Forging experts.

Zhu Quan on the side also followed closely, his face full of killing intent.

A group of heretic cult experts made their first strike, and the battlefield was suddenly filled with killing intent.

"Lords, strike."

Seeing this, Mo Wanyun's expression was heavy to the extreme, his gaze sweeping across the many government experts nearby.

After several days of probing, this group of heretic cult experts finally couldn't hold back.

"Please, Lord Zhao, resist Duan Zhanghe with me."

Then, he took the lead and killed toward the two Blood Exchange experts of the heretic cult in front.

The many experts who came to support around also did not hesitate and struck immediately.

Zhao Yicheng took the lead, killed toward the front, and together with Mo Wanyun, one on the left and one on the right, intercepted Duan Zhanghe.

In the entire small town, there were only these two Blood Exchange mid-stage experts.

The task of resisting Duan Zhanghe naturally fell on the two of them.

As for the remaining Zhu Quan, he was left to Chen Zhanpeng and the other to resist.

Chen Zhanpeng and the other also rushed out quickly and intercepted Zhu Quan on the city wall.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The six people fought fiercely on the city wall, powerful energy swept in all directions, kicking up bursts of smoke and dust, and everyone around did not dare to approach, moving away from this place one after another.

Just after one contact, Zhao Yicheng and the others fell into a disadvantage, but it looked like they wouldn't be defeated in a short time.

The two were only at the Blood Exchange mid-stage; only by joining forces and resisting with all their might could they barely persist.

Zhu Houyu and the other's situation was about the same.

The remaining Bone Forging experts of both forces also fought one after another.

Shouts of killing, bone-crushing sounds, filled the entire battlefield.

Baleful Qi rolled around the city wall, spreading like clouds and smoke.

Lu Zhangsheng also met a Bone Forging Perfection heretic cultist.

The other party's face was black, dressed in a black long robe, holding a steel blade, waving it with quite a bit of momentum.

Lu Zhangsheng only revealed Bone Forging Perfection strength, fighting quite hotly with the other party.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

A fast blade shuttled through the void, blade light seemingly woven into a giant net.

The two fought "fiercely" on the west side of the city wall.

Tong Yuhua and the others also found their opponents and surrounded Lu Zhangsheng.

Preparing to strike immediately when the situation changed.

The forces of both sides fought bloody battles on the city wall.

Time passed slowly, half an hour later.

The battle situation on the field became more and more tragic, with no sign of stopping at all.

"Slash."

Duan Zhanghe's eyes were cold with killing intent, and he slashed forward with a blade.

"Zzz..."

Blinding cold light flickered in the void, like Mount Tai pressing down, slashing fiercely toward Zhao Yicheng and the other.

"Lord Zhao, strike with all your might."

Mo Wanyun roared, fully activating the Qi and Blood in his body.

His momentum rose again by a notch.

He also raised his long blade and slashed forward fiercely.

The blade edge rubbed against the void, sending out a violent whistling sound.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Bursts of roaring sounds echoed throughout the entire battlefield, and a powerful wave of energy swept in all directions.

Everyone around stopped one after another, staring fixedly at the three people fighting.

Zhao Yicheng and the other retreated violently, their footsteps staggering as they landed on the city wall, their faces somewhat pale.

The two activated secret arts for a full-strength strike, yet they were still at a disadvantage.

However, they barely supported it.

Relying on the heavy crossbows on the city wall, the other party could not rush up for the time being.

Many government martial artists saw this and breathed a sigh of relief one after another.

As long as Mo Wanyun and the other could block the other party, this small town would be safe.

"Retreat."

Seeing this, Duan Zhanghe did not force his way onto the city wall; instead, he waved his hand and directed many heretic cultists to retreat in an orderly fashion.

A group of people retreated like a tide and soon disappeared under the city.

Leaving behind many corpses, blood dyeing the ground bricks red.

"We won, we won..."

A group of City Guard Army cheered with joy one after another.

Their wives, children, and mothers were all at home, waiting for them to return safely.

At this moment, under the full-scale attack of the other party, they still repelled this group of heretic cult experts, letting everyone see the hope of final victory.

Their hearts were filled with joy.

Duan Zhanghe took many martial artists and retreated slowly to a secret forest.

"When are you planning to take action?"

Zhu Quan's eyes flickered.

"Hehe... We will attack the city for a few more days, and when the other side is most relaxed..."

Duan Zhanghe laughed coldly, making people shudder.

"Then this one will wait for the good news from your sect." Zhu Quan turned and left the place.

The field soon returned to calm again.

For the next few days.

That group of heretic cultists still attacked the city every day at noon, lasting until the afternoon.

And the two Blood Exchange experts of the heretic cult made moves personally every time.

However, with Mo Wanyun and the other resisting with all their might, coupled with the heavy crossbows on the city wall, they still managed to resist.

After experiencing multiple city defenses, many martial artists in the town also felt relieved.

Almost everyone speculated that this group of heretic cultists could not break this town.

They just needed to stick to their posts for a period of time.

For a time, even the tense atmosphere in the small town eased quite a bit.

Many civilians walked out of their houses one after another and were no longer afraid.

Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.

Evening.

Inside a courtyard.

A group of people sat on chairs, surrounding the stone table.

It was precisely Lu Zhangsheng and Tong Yuhua's group.

"It seems it won't be long before that group of heretic cultists retreats, and we can also safely return to the County City to report for duty."

Yue Shulan looked full of joy.

Xiao Chao and Lu Xue also nodded in agreement.

After defending the city for these days, they also had a bottom line in their hearts; the other party was very difficult to break this town.

Even Tong Yuhua did not express opposition.

Clearly, she quite agreed in her heart.

"Do not relax your vigilance for the next few days; I always feel that this matter is not that simple."

"What is the purpose of the other party attacking for so many days? Is it just to send themselves to death?"

Lu Zhangsheng's tone was deep, his eyes flickering.

He always felt that the group had other trump cards that had not been exposed, otherwise, after discovering they couldn't take advantage, they should have retreated immediately.

Instead of still attacking the town in a suicidal manner.

Lu Xue and the others' expressions tightened upon hearing this.

They also put away some of their scattered thoughts; if Lu Zhangsheng's speculation came true, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Patrol Envoy Lu's speculation also has some possibility; we should continue to remain vigilant."

Tong Yuhua seemed to have thought of something and nodded faintly.

Before leaving, Qin Ruobing's instructions to the two seemed to echo in her ears.

Making her feel alert.

Tong Yuhua also became vigilant immediately.

The group exchanged details for a while and then stood up and left one after another.

Inside a dark room.

Two figures sat on chairs.

"Father, do we really want to do this? Once we take this step, there is no turning back."

A young man in white looked full of struggle.

"Sigh... When we ate that kind of thing, it was already destined."

The old man's eyes flickered.

Hearing this, the young man's body tightened, seemingly remembering some bad things.

That kind of feeling of being worse than dead, he never wanted to try again.

Gu worms had long been planted in their minds; besides obeying, there was no other way.

"Only by overthrowing this increasingly decaying dynasty can we have a turning point..."

The young man managed to muster a sliver of confidence.

The old man looked quietly at his somewhat naive son, not having the heart to break the other party's fantasy.

Those heretic cultists were clearly related to demons and evil spirits; they were just living one day at a time, what turning point could there be.

Time passed slowly.

In a flash, two days passed.

This day, at noon.

Lu Zhangsheng was practicing martial arts in the courtyard when suddenly, a harsh alarm sound came to his ears.

"Enemy attack, everyone hurry to the city gate to support..."

A voice full of energy echoed throughout the small town; it was precisely from that City Guard Commander.

"Whoosh..."

A large number of martial artists and armored soldiers rushed toward the city gate one after another; civilians on the street all ran back into their houses, and the entire small town was noisy.

Soon, only the figures of martial artists running quickly remained on the street.

There were also many experts who came from the County City.

A group of people rushed through the street in a mighty force.

Hearing the alarm, Lu Zhangsheng immediately put away the slaughtering knife and walked toward the outside of the courtyard.

After leaving the courtyard, he hurried along.

Some ordinary martial artists on both sides of the street gave way one after another, looking respectful.

Many people also recognized Lu Zhangsheng, this Patrol Envoy, and did not dare to collide at all.

Not long after.

Lu Zhangsheng arrived at the city wall in the east of the city.

At this moment, many martial artists had already gathered around, and Tong Yuhua and the others were also among them.

Seeing Lu Zhangsheng arrive, everyone smiled slightly at Lu Zhangsheng.

Mo Wanyun, this Commander, was also directing a group of armored soldiers to transport arrowheads and stones.

Lu Zhangsheng's gaze swept across the surrounding martial artists.

The person with the highest cultivation here, besides Zhao Yicheng of the Demon-Suppressing Division, was this City Guard Commander.

Next were the two Patrol Envoys, Zhu Houyu.

Of course, Lu Zhangsheng's cultivation had not yet been exposed.

Further down were some Bone Forging experts who came to support, and some martial arts families in the town.

Among them, the Yang family was the most famous, with seven or eight Bone Forging experts in the clan, and their strength was not weak.

The leader was an old man in green named Yang Guanghong; this person had a jujube-red face and Bone Forging Perfection strength, quite prestigious in the small town.

A group of martial artists were all waiting in full battle array, staring fixedly at the many figures outside the city with heavy expressions.

In the many heretic cultists, the two martial artists in the front had auras as deep as the abyss, making everyone in the city tighten their bodies.

The two were precisely the two Blood Exchange experts, Duan Zhanghe and Zhu Quan.

Behind the two, there were also some Bone Forging martial artists, and a large number of Flesh Refining martial artists; these people held bows, crossbows, and long spears, their eyes full of killing intent.

"It is the Helmsman of the Wenxiang Sect and the expert of the Black Mountain Bandits."

Tong Yuhua, standing beside Lu Zhangsheng, looked quite nervous.

Never did she expect these heretic cultists to collude with bandits again and even plan to attack Wu Qiong Town together.

"These two are quite high on the government's wanted list."

Lu Zhangsheng also recognized these two in the first instance.

According to the intelligence of the Demon-Suppressing Division, this Duan Zhanghe had abused and killed a large number of civilians and martial artists, his hands stained with blood, extremely cruel.

It made the official martial artists hate him to the bone.

"Kill."

Duan Zhanghe roared, his cold voice echoing throughout the field.

He knew that the government could not surrender at all, and without too much nonsense, he started the war directly.

A large number of heretic cult bandits rushed toward the city wall like a tide.

Many people also held bows, crossbows, and short spears in their hands.

After arriving near the city gate, they stopped immediately, straddled their feet, leaned their bodies back, and after putting on the arrowheads, pulled the bows and crossbows to the full.

"Shoot."

With an order.

Countless arrowheads shot toward the city gate, forming giant arrow rains in mid-air, making people tremble with fear.

"All guard armies, immediately raise your shields to resist the arrow rain."

"Archers prepare to counterattack."

Seeing that the enemy had already started attacking the city, Mo Wanyun immediately issued a counterattack order.

"Drink..."

A large number of guard teams raised their hardwood shields high, connecting them into a whole piece to resist the high-altitude arrow rain.

The archers in the back also pulled their bows to the full and shot toward the heretic cultists outside the city.

The great battle between the two sides broke out instantly.

The entire battlefield was filled with shouts of killing, dust rolling around, and a mess.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

On the city wall, some martial artists waved their weapons one after another, resisting the dense arrow rain in front.

Before the enemy's experts made their move, they would not take the initiative to attack.

Tong Yuhua and the others on the side were tightly surrounding Lu Zhangsheng, resisting the attacks from outside the city together.

As for Lu Zhangsheng and these experts, it was even more relaxed.

Some ordinary arrowheads could not hurt him at all.

While resisting the arrow rain and flying spears, he was also scanning the entire battlefield.

He was also somewhat suspicious in his heart; this offensive from the other side was very difficult to break the town's defense team.

Even with Duan Zhanghe, this Blood Exchange late-stage expert, making a move, it was still not enough.

These heretic cultists would not be so unwise; clearly, there were some hidden means that had not been exposed.

This made Lu Zhangsheng quite vigilant.

The forces of both sides had been fighting at the city gate, but some experts had not made a move, very tacitly.
