220: Give it to Jiuzhonglang (ask for monthly ticket)
By the Chishui River, Chishui Prefecture Fu City.
The sun was setting, and waves of Qi shook the sky.
In the streets and alleys, people looked up.
At the Sky Patrol Division outpost, shouts rose, and streaks of light whistled.
Figures rushed out, looking west, only to see a streak of colorful light, like a falling meteor, plummeting towards the Sky Patrol Division outpost.
Immediately after,
“Boom!”
A roar sounded.
The streak of light hit the ground.
“Someone!”
Exclamations rose.
As the dust settled, a woman in colorful clothes, her precious robes dim and half-stained with blood, clutched her chest, staggering forward a few steps, leaning against a pillar in the plaza, and couldn't help but vomit.
“Ugh.”
Blinding red blood spread out on the rough stone pillar.
At this moment, several sounds of air being torn apart rang out.
Several figures with extraordinary Qi appeared around the woman.
There were seven of them.
The leader was none other than Colonel Chang Shan, who had recently returned from the neighboring Guangan Prefecture, and the other six were Local General of the Guard and five Great Master of the Sect Heavenly Gate.
Colonel Chang Shan and the others’ eyes flickered as they looked at the woman, their faces filled with surprise and doubt, exchanging glances.
Dao Fruit Realm?
What was the origin of such a young and powerful woman, and who could have injured her so severely?
However, Colonel Chang Shan was different from the others; he could even sense a turbulent and obscure Qi belonging to their Fa Shan Army from her.
“Who are you? What exactly happened?”
He spoke, unable to suppress his surprise and doubt.
At the same time, a bad premonition rose in his heart.
This was the Yao Race front line, and such an extraordinary Dao Fruit Realm woman, so severely injured, he feared...
Qin Rushuang leaned on the pillar with one hand, looking up, her eyelids slightly open, breathing rapidly, her face flushed.
“Quickly notify everyone to leave!”
“The two Grand Minister dispatched by the imperial court to the Ten Thousand Mountains have been killed.”
“Dingshan Pass has been breached; a Wucang Great Demon made a move.”
“Also, get this thing out; it cannot fall into the hands of those Yao Race demons.”
Qin Rushuang raised her hand with difficulty, and a green light flew out from a blood-soaked sleeve.
It transformed into a small, misty green cauldron, flying out.
The small cauldron was only three feet in size at this moment, but it emitted an aura that made everyone’s hearts pound.
But when Colonel Chang Shan saw this cauldron, his reaction was different from the others; the spinning small cauldron emitted a muffled hum, and a mournful Qi, as if transcending time and space, caused his eyes to redden involuntarily.
He couldn't help but speak with a trembling voice, taking a few quick steps forward, “This is?”
“This is the Dao Fruit of your Town Demon Envoy after his demise. Commander Liao of Dingshan Pass inherited it, but when he faced the Wucang Great Demon that breached the pass, this This General chose to self-destruct and entrusted it to me with a voice transmission before his end, to be sent to the Dao Fu Division, so it wouldn't fall into the hands of the Yao Race demons.”
“And now, several Dao Fruit Realm Yao Race demons are coming to kill, puh…”
Qin Rushuang was at the end of her strength at this moment, quickly and urgently explaining the entire matter. The Qi in her throat became increasingly chaotic, and the dim pupils occasionally flashed with the scenes she had witnessed yesterday.
She was a proud person to the core and had never thought of possessing this Dao Fruit, because she could never forget the shock and impact that yesterday's scene brought her.
She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and coupled with her extraordinary martial Dao talent, she received a significant allocation of Family resources. She had seen the prosperity of the Imperial Capital, where talents gathered and Prodigies emerged. She also traveled with her Family elders to famous mountains and great rivers, visited blessed lands, and witnessed the Jianghu, where everyone was like a Dragon.
But she had never seen, in this remote and wild land, such a group of people, most of whom were inconspicuous, yet when facing the Wucang Great Demon that terrified the world, they were fearless of death, advancing one after another, daring to draw their swords.
That Commander, knowing it was a moth flying into a flame, resolutely burned his Dao Fruit, cultivated for many years, and charged towards that Wucang Great Demon, to buy a glimmer of hope for everyone's escape!
She had arrived at Dingshan Pass with the Grand Minister and only met this Commander once. He seemed to have a fiery temper and appeared to disdain her and Gongyang Wu's idle behavior of
“gilding” themselves.
But before he self-destructed, he suddenly transmitted a message to her, solemnly entrusting her to bring that cauldron back to the Dao Fu Division. He said that it was the spark of the Fa Shan Army and had to be brought back, and then he bravely went to his death.
She didn't know why that Commander entrusted it to her; perhaps because of her Cultivation, or perhaps because she wasn't from the Fa Shan Army and was less likely to be targeted by the pursuing Great Demon.
But she didn't want to think so much anymore; she was a proud person. She didn't have the courage to rush out at that time, but now she only wanted to fulfill this entrustment.
After speaking, she let out a muffled groan, her throat convulsing, unable to suppress her injuries any longer.
“Pfft!”
She spat out another large mouthful of blood, then suddenly looked up, her expression changing,
“They’re here!”
“Quickly take this cauldron away!”
“I can still hold them off for a while!”
As she spoke, from the west, explosions of Qi shook the sky, and rolling Devilish Qi pressed down, rumbling closer.
Massive Yao Race demon figures pressed down from the sky.
Immediately, the alarm bells of Chishui Prefecture rang urgently.
Inside the Sky Patrol Division outpost, everyone's faces changed drastically.
One, two, three...
Four Dao Fruit Realm Yao Race demons, with overwhelming pressure, rolled in, suffocating!
Sharp whistles suddenly sounded, and cold, iron-clad figures began to move.
On the scene, Colonel Chang Shan quickly processed everything, gazing at the distant sky, his eyes filled with endless rage and sorrow, letting out an enraged roar.
“You beasts, I curse your ancestors!”
Saying that, he suddenly turned his head, flicked his sleeve, and threw the small cauldron to several Sect Heavenly Gate, with determination and eagerness, “You quickly take this thing and hand it over to Ninth Zhonglang, and tell him to lead the people to retreat!”
“Tell him that the Fa Shan Army has no cowards, and I still want to drink his wine later!”
Saying that, he looked at the tottering Qin Rushuang, “Please, everyone, take her with you too!”
After speaking, he exploded from the ground, soaring into the sky, with only a loud shout heard,
“All soldiers of Sanshan, heed my command, stop them for me!”
At this command,
“Swish, swish, swish!”
Within the Sky Patrol Division outpost, sounds of air being torn apart rose.
Banners flew into the sky, and on them, iron-clad figures, with sabers drawn, followed their This General, charging towards the west.
And at this moment, another loud shout rang out,
“Where are the soldiers of my Chishui Prefecture?”
“Charge with This General!”
Only to see that the previously unknown Local General of the Guard also soared into the sky, transforming into a brilliant streak of light.
Behind him, shouts from men and horses made the entire sky above Chishui Fu City boil.
The two Zhonglang General, by prior agreement, led their troops and horses, charging towards the west, blocking the three Yao Race demons, buying time for the few people.
The five Sect Heavenly Gate, seeing this scene, had expressions of pity, urgency, or eyes flickering with rage, eager to move.
“The two This General won't be able to hold on for long.”
“We must quickly deliver this Dao Fruit into Ninth Zhonglang's hands!”
“This old monk will cover the rear. Fellow Daoist of the Guixin Sect, I remember your Inverted Formless Formation is superb; you can use it to stall for time later!”
“Sect Leader An, take this female benefactor with you too.”
“...”
The Great Master of Jinchan Temple was decisive at this moment, collecting the small cauldron.
The beautiful woman from the Su Nu Sword Sect stepped forward and helped Qin Rushuang up.
Then, the five quickly transmitted messages to their Disciples, urging them to do their best to lead the common people to disperse and escape towards the east, and then someone shouted loudly,
“Go!”
Only to see the five, with Qin Rushuang, soar into the sky, speeding towards the east, with loud sounds of air being torn apart.
Behind them,
Was a chaotic and screaming Fu City, and from the west, the thunderous roars of Yao Race demons echoed.
