Chapter 77: Dark Clouds Loom Over the City, Threatening to Crush It

“Hiss.”

“Mom, woo woo.”

“Don’t cry, child, we’re almost there, almost there.”

“Don’t push, don’t push, ah, damn it, you stepped on my foot.”

“What a sin, how long do we have to keep fleeing?”

“Folks, everyone, don’t panic.”

“Whoosh!”

The next day, it was noon in Qingshan County.

The sun hung high in the sky, its golden light illuminating the earth, but outside the city gate of Qingshan County, there was a surging crowd.

Shouts, cries of alarm, children’s wails, and the neighing of livestock were all mixed together.

People, dragging their families, poured into the city gate, their faces filled with panic!

Because demons were about to attack the city!

Yunlu County issued an urgent order for all its citizens to migrate to Qingshan County overnight.

This was the scene now!

As the citizens poured into Qingshan County, they saw white cloths fluttering and corpses strewn across the streets, a scene of grim solemnity.

On the streets, startled horses occasionally galloped, whinnying and running.

“All able-bodied men aged eighteen and above, without disabilities or weakness, step forward to don armor and ascend the city wall!”

“All Martial Artists who have cultivated to Bone Forging and above, step forward to receive horses and be mustered.”

One by one, able-bodied laborers were conscripted, donned armor, and ascended the city wall.

All Martial Arts schools, escort agencies, and Gang Martial Artists in Yunlu County were required to obey orders, mount their horses, and be temporarily deployed.

But with great disaster looming, people reacted in various ways, and there were always those who refused to obey.

“Nonsense!”

“Mobilizing all our Cao Gang Martial Artists, wanting us to charge into battle, no way.”

“I’m not like you, who eat the government’s food.”

“Hmph, kid, don’t think that just because you and your Master have connections with that Patrolling Mountain Commandant, and you’re wearing that uniform, you’re something special.”

“Bah!”

“Get out of the way!”

At the city gate,

A burly man with a face full of flesh and a thick build, with wide, glaring eyes, used his large, fan-like hand to slap the horse of the yamen runner in front of him, who was holding a deployment order and blocking their path.

The horse immediately neighed.

Its body uncontrollably fell to the side.

The yamen runner on top cried out in anger and fell to the ground in a sorry state.

The surrounding crowded people quickly scattered in panic.

“Haha.”

The burly man with the fleshy face laughed loudly at the sight.

Several Cao Gang brothers behind him also burst into laughter.

“Let’s go, if this place doesn’t welcome us, there’s always somewhere that will. Let whoever wants to defend this city defend it, but I, your elder, certainly don’t want to fight with demons.”

The big man waved his hand and walked out of the city gate, laughing loudly.

The crowd watched as this group of Martial Arts school members prepared to leave, some feeling panicked.

Just then,

The sound of a sword suddenly rang out.

A cold light descended from the sky.

With a “swish,”

It sliced across the big man’s thick neck.

“Gulp.”

The next second, blood splattered into the sky, and a head rolled to the ground.

Only the wide, staring eyes looked back at the Cao Gang brothers behind him.

“Gang Leader!”

The brothers were horrified, some directly falling to the ground.

They were so scared their livers and guts trembled.

At this moment, a figure in red flew down from the city wall.

She landed beside the man’s corpse, her eyes as cold as frost, sweeping over everyone.

“In the face of great peril, those who shake military morale shall be executed!”

Everyone recoiled.

They quickly scrambled to their feet, terrified.

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Then, they retreated back into the city in disarray.

Just then, the sound of urgent hooves rapidly approached from afar.

“Hup!”

“Hup!”

“Hup!”

In the forest to the Southwest, a horse galloped through the mountains, its hooves thundering.

A person on top, leaning forward, rode swiftly to the red-clad figure at the city gate, then suddenly pulled the reins.

“Whoosh!”

The big horse neighed loudly.

Its hooves rose high, and it stopped abruptly.

Then, the figure on the horse flew down, knelt on one knee, and spoke urgently.

“Sir, Feixian Sect forces have indeed appeared seventy li to the Southwest, approaching menacingly and rapidly heading this way!”

Wu Shan, with his severed arm, reported urgently.

His breathing was a bit heavy, and his face was grim.

Lian Nishang’s eyes were solemn as she looked towards the Southwest.

“Beat the drums and sound the alarm!”

“The entire city is on alert!”

After speaking, she then flew onto the city wall.

Soon, on the city tower, several bare-armed big men, holding red hammers, struck the drums fiercely.

The urgent drumbeats spread throughout the city.

Then, horses galloped along the city wall, their hooves thundering.

“Prepare for battle!”

“Prepare for battle!”

On the city wall, many citizens who had temporarily donned armor for battle nervously stared at the forest outside the city, their hands trembling slightly on the heavy crossbows.

And in the center, on the city tower, two people stood on the rooftop, gazing intently, their expressions grave.

Qin Hu’s tiger-like eyes gleamed, his heart filled with anxiety.

Fu City had sent an urgent summons for him to return, but then Qingshan County fell into distress.

That group of madmen suddenly attacked the pass and even diverted troops to Qingshan, indicating they would not give up easily.

He was even somewhat alarmed; from the information provided by the Storyteller, the Feixian Sect’s arrival this time was likely quite troublesome.

The lives of tens of thousands of citizens from these two cities weighed heavily on his heart like a massive stone, making it hard to breathe.

Time slowly passed, the setting sun like blood, dyeing the clouds red, and an oppressive and grim atmosphere hung over Qingshan County.

The citizens below the city, listening to the urgent drumbeats, gathered together in small and large groups, nervously looking around and praying.

On the city wall, everyone held their breath.

In a certain corner, an old man with a goatee held a book in one hand and a brush in the other.

The brush moved like a Dragon across the scroll, and one by one, ink-colored characters leaped onto the paper.

“On the Jiazi day, in Qingshan County, a border town in the Southwest of Shu Land, Feixian caused chaos.”

“Patrol Mountain Commandant Chen Yuan of this county had previously slain three Feixian Envoys, which led to retaliation.”

“However, Qingshan County had suffered a great calamity before, and tens of thousands of citizens fell into….”

“Patrolling Mountain Commandant Lian Nishang of Yunlu County, came to aid Qingshan, then suddenly heard….”

“The citizens of both cities defended one city, and able-bodied men, young and old, ascended the city, donned armor, and went into battle, among them were white-haired old men.”

Writing this, the Storyteller’s brush paused, and he heavily placed a black dot on the paper.

He suddenly looked up to the Southwest, his face grim.

“They’re here!”

From the distant forest, the rumbling of horse hooves and carriage wheels could be heard.

It grew clearer and clearer.

The entire forest began to tremble.

And it grew more and more violent.

On the city wall, everyone felt the trembling beneath their feet, and their breathing tightened.

The drumbeats on the city tower became even more urgent.

As if pounding fiercely on everyone’s hearts.

Finally, the trembling of the forest, from far to near.

A surge of black demonic clouds poured forth, covering the sky and earth, sweeping towards Qingshan County.

The sky suddenly darkened.

Dark clouds pressed down on the city!

Everyone felt a powerful and evil Qi rushing towards them.

That group of human demons had arrived!

At the same time, in a certain visualization space, Chen Yuan’s eyes shot out silver light.

He stared intently at the black cloud that covered the sky and earth.

Within the black cloud, demonic roars shook the heavens.

A colossal entity surged forth.

It was a giant demon formed by countless human faces and corpses stitched together.

Countless wails emanated from the twisted, hideous mouths, piercing metal and splitting stone, demonic sounds shaking the heavens.

Making people feel agitated and filled with murderous intent.

Chen Yuan, as if sensing something, let out a furious roar towards the sky.

Immediately after, his Physical Body emitted the rumbling sound of mountains.

Thirty-six great suns gathered their fiery light and surged towards his Niwan Palace.

“Boom!”

A roar shook heaven and earth.

Divine light suddenly erupted from the back of his Niwan Palace.

Then, a mountain-like illusion, fifty to sixty zhang high, plummeted from the sky.

Then.

The rumbling continued without end.
