Chapter 1086 - Ill take you away

Chapter 1086 – I’ll take you away

The garrison at the north of Fang Cheng County had a total of over three thousand men. Due to Gu Fu Bo’s order to give up defending, all the frontlines had been destroyed. The soldiers had organized themselves after the war began. Some of them had evacuated the civilians, while others had stood on the defensive line holding their weapons. They had stood on the defensive line for so many years.

The killings had not been tried in the first place, and the dead were spread out from one end of the street to the other.

The entire army was defeated, the Nine Saint Sect’s side was well-prepared, but even if the Bai Shengjun’s side was well-prepared at the start, they would still not be able to block it.

Luo Duoduo sat at the window on the second floor of the wooden building and looked out through the broken window. In her mind, she couldn’t help but recall the scene from not long ago. She was dancing on that black line with Malan blooming, while the soldiers from both sides seemed cold as they stood there, but everyone’s eyes were filled with light.

That was the hope of peace and tranquility, but at this moment, it felt like a lifetime had passed.

That line has existed for a long time, the black one over there and the white one over here.

Now, it was all red.

An Zheng had gathered all his Sky Blast Pearls and retreated from the battle while covering Duan Fulong and the others, leaving less than one thousand and five hundred soldiers behind to use the west wall and the surrounding buildings as the final fortress. All of them knew that the enemies in front of them would be broken through sooner or later.

But this wall was their final pride. Most of the people had already left, fleeing for their lives, leaving this once peaceful home. They didn’t know what would happen after they escaped, so they could only run towards the Yancheng. That was their last hope.

The soldiers were all bloodied, they were confused, they were scared, but they chose to stand and die.

An Zheng’s entire body was covered in blood. Before entering the Fang Cheng County, he never thought that he would be dragged into this kind of war. But when the war approached, he chose to stand by the Bai Shengjun’s side without hesitation.

“I have to go.”

An Zheng looked at Duan Fulong and said these four words.

Duan Fulong was startled, he pushed away the janissaries who were bandaging his wounds, and stood up while cupping his fists towards An Zheng: “Brother, I still do not know your name, but I know that you are someone who can be brothers for life. “Let’s go. This is a battle between soldiers. If I am lucky enough to survive, and we meet again in the future, we will get drunk.”

An Zheng laughed: “I’m not leaving Fang Cheng County, I have to go back.”

An Zheng pointed to the city: “I still have a friend there. I told her to leave, but she definitely won’t. I didn’t see her in the last group of people that was evacuated. She’s too stubborn. ”

An Zheng packed up and brought along all the weapons he could carry. Then, he took a deep breath: “Like you said, if we’re not killed by luck, we’ll get drunk.”

After saying that, An Zheng lowered his head and rushed out along the street. Opposite them was the army of the Nine Saint Sect. Before the final battle, the enemies with bloodshot eyes were searching the entire city for people, killing one person after another. If An Zheng were to go back now, it was obvious what the consequences would be.

Duan Fulong shouted, and An Zheng disappeared.

“General, who is that person?”

Duan Fulong’s personal guard asked curiously.

Duan Fulong shook his head: “I don’t know what his name is, he’s my brother.”

An Zheng ran along the small alley as he lowered his body. This place had already become hell, a battleground. The stench of blood was everywhere, and it might not dissipate for months.

He carefully went back the way he came. After waiting for a group of Nine Saint Sect soldiers to pass by, his body flashed and entered the wooden building.

There was no one alive on the second floor. There was a dead body of a Nine Saint Sect soldier lying on the ground. An Zheng squatted down to take a look. The man had died a few minutes ago, but his body was still warm. It seemed that Luo Duoduo had been discovered by the people of the Nine Saint Sect. He looked out the window and saw at least a few hundred soldiers of the Nine Saint Sect leading some of the citizens towards the east.

An Zheng took a deep breath, pushed open the window and was about to jump out to give chase.

“An Zheng!”

Suddenly, a trembling shout came from behind him. It wasn’t loud, but it gave off a feeling of hysteria. An Zheng suddenly turned his head and saw Luo Duoduo coming out from behind the counter with a face as white as paper. When she saw An Zheng, she pounced towards him and hugged him tightly with both hands.

“I beg you, don’t abandon me in the future.”

An Zheng couldn’t imagine what she had experienced to have killed that soldier. It was probably her first time killing someone. How much fear and pain did a simple girl feel when she was injured and stained with human blood?

“I’ll take you.”

An Zheng squatted down, while Luo Duoduo laid on his back. An Zheng tied Luo Duoduo ontiece of cloth and then used one hand to grab a long blade while the other hand held onto a crossbow. With the dagger in his mouth, he jumped down from the window on the second floor.

“Who is it!”

Someone shouted from not too far away. An Zheng raised his hand and pointed at the crossbow. It was picked up from the dead body of the Nine Saint Sect. The power of the crossbow was not great, but it was enough to deal with soldiers. An Zheng did not dare to waste even a little bit of Cultivation Power, as no one knew if the ones blocking their path would be powerful cultivators. With An Zheng’s strength, killing such a small soldier was obviously easy, but every bit of waste in power could create a situation that was difficult to deal with in the future. Even if An Zheng did not have a writing technique.

A bolt shot out from the back of the soldier’s head. The soldier groaned before falling to the ground, the blade in his hand falling to the ground. An Zheng ran out like a cheetah towards the west at his fastest speed. Luo Duoduo hugged An Zheng tightly, his face close to An Zheng’s back. They could clearly hear An Zheng’s heartbeat.

She didn’t know why, but she felt that she wasn’t afraid at all. She laid on An Zheng’s back, and she felt that the entire world belonged to her.

“Stop him!”

Someone from behind saw An Zheng and shouted loudly, a group of soldiers in front rushed forward to stop him. An Zheng raised his hand and continued to shoot his crossbows. Twelve crossbow bolts shot out, causing twelve people to tumble to the ground.

A cultivator suddenly rushed from the side and slashed towards An Zheng’s back, causing An Zheng to turn his body, and his hand took the opportunity to swing the blade horizontally. The long blade circled around the cultivator’s neck, coincidentally, the hilt turned over, and An Zheng grabbed onto the long blade, continuing forward. The cultivator froze for a moment, then subconsciously lifted his hand to his neck and touched it. Blood spurted out, and a head rolled down his neck.

More and more people started to gather around him. An Zheng did not mind if there was merely a pursuer from behind, because none of the ordinary soldiers could catch up to him. However, there were even more people surrounding them.

“Oh, there’s another fish that escaped the net.”

The bald eunuch wearing red silk clothes sat on a building not far away and drank tea. He looked outside and could not help but laugh disdainfully: “There seem to be a lot of people from Bai Shengjun who are not afraid of death. Someone go and teach him a lesson, let him know that it’s not right to be afraid of death.”

One of the eunuchs dressed in blue silk robes took action, “Head Guard, this subordinate is willing to go.”

“Lian Chengli, your cultivation has improved quite a bit recently. It’s good to train at this kind of place, go …” It seems like the girl behind him is not bad. If she wants to live, then I can give her some rewards when I get back. ”

Everyone around him laughed. Everyone knew that amongst the nine powerful Saints in Nine Saint Sect, Five Saint Lord was the most lustful one, especially the little girl. She would find a few to ravage everyday, giving them free rewards whenever they got tired of it.

The blue-clothed eunuch, Lian Chengli, looked like he was in his twenties. His face was as white as if it was covered with snow. There were two thin curls of hair on his lips, which was probably his last sign of being a man, and he didn’t want to shave it off. He had three blades on his back, one long, one short, and one bladeless.

It was as sharp as a willow leaf and as short as a boning knife. As for that blade-less heavy blade, it seemed to be as heavy ahousand pounds.

“Understood.”

Lian Chengli laughed, then jumped down from the third floor and chased after An Zheng like a big bird.

An Zheng’s sharp senses detected the danger behind him, and he fiercely jumped forward, behind him came endless popping sounds. It was unknown just how many cicada knife s were stabbed into the ground. If An Zheng did not increase his speed, he would inevitably be uninjured.

When Lian Chengli saw that An Zheng actually avoided it, the haughty him immediately got angry.

“Little thief, let’s see how far you can run.”

He flung forward with one hand, and the several hundred connected cicada wings turned around like a whip. The tip of the whip suddenly turned back after going past An Zheng and stabbed straight at An Zheng’s chest.

An Zheng raised the long blade in his right hand and deflected the blade whip. He stretched out his left hand without looking back and continuously pulled the trigger. Lian Chengli’s blade and whip shook, and the long dragon shook all twelve crossbows away. However, An Zheng had already flown far away by now.

“You don’t even dare to fight? “Then what’s the use of cultivating.”

Lian Chengli snorted and pushed his hands back. Two surging waves of energy shot out from his palms and he borrowed the momentum from the impact to charge forward. He pulled out the long blade from his back while in mid air, and slashed a hundred meters away from An Zheng.

“Die!”

The weird thing about this blade strike was that when the blade came out, the blade Qi actually appeared in front of An Zheng. In other words, this blade strike contained an extremely strong The Art of Space. The blade pierced through the air and arrived in front of An Zheng. Because Su Zhao ordered him not to kill the girl, Lian Chengli did not dare to make a move on An Zheng’s back.

An Zheng was running forward when he suddenly felt the aura in front of him change. The air seemed to have split open as he brought the blade qi right in front of him. He moved forward and the saber Qi came close to him. With such speed, it seemed that there was no way to avoid it.

The blade in An Zheng’s right hand had already slashed out, but the blade was of ordinary quality, upon contact with the blade Qi, it broke. An Zheng spat out the dagger from his mouth, causing the remaining Sword Qi to shatter, he did not slow down at all.

“Interesting.”

Lian Chengli became more and more excited as he chased from behind, “I didn’t expect a little thief like you to react so quickly. Let’s see how long you can last.”

He flung back his sleeves and quickened his pace to catch up.
