Chapter 97 Why are fellow Taoists here?
The cement floor in the lower city area was soaked with blood, and the alloy bricks in the upper city area were also stained with blood. No matter how heavy and fierce the rain was, it could not be washed away or cleaned away.
At this moment, the cleanest and neatest place is the shanty town that everyone once despised. Although the soil here still smells sour, it has become much better after the heavy rain, and there is no blood stain.
"Go on!!"
Accompanied by a hysterical roar, Ji Bochang's left hand was completely cut off, but his right hand still held the long curled sword, slashing and slashing down the cultists who were rushing forward like zombies.
The city hall is located in the center of Donghai City, next to it is the largest square in the entire Donghai City. At this time, simple fortifications have been built here.
Inspectors, members of the martial arts alliance, and some individual practitioners all fought around the fortifications.
Modern thermal weapons have also been set up at several passes. Although these are of little use to powerful practitioners, as long as they have not reached the level of gods and humans, or even if they are not great masters, they can always play a role in hindering them.
The roar of gunshots, the flash of swords, bullets, sword energy, etc. tore the rain curtain apart time and time again, but then more rain came down, one after another,
There is almost no difference between the cultists and this rain curtain. One fell down and three rushed up.
There are also cultists at the heavenly and human levels, all hanging in mid-air, showing their spiritual will and turning into dazzling beacons in the heavy rain!
Lu Xiuyuan was guarding a pass, holding a broken knife. Even though his own foundation was shattered and the acupoints all over his body collapsed, he still showed indomitable courage.
When the broken knife rises and falls, it can always bring up a large amount of blood and cut off a series of heads!
The heavenly beings among the cultists did not take action, as if they were waiting for something. Now those who attack are monks at the Jade Tower level, and even cultists with no cultivation skills.
But even so, many people at this pass died. In Lu Xiuyuan's body, the kidneys responsible for providing energy were overdrawn, and he was exhausted.
There is no way, there are too many, too many.
It's okay to kill one, it's okay to kill ten, but it's already numb when you kill a hundred, not to mention that there are also cultists at the Grand Master level among these one hundred!
"Hold on!" Not far away, Ji Bochang shouted angrily at the supervisor who was shrinking. He grabbed the weapon with his only right hand and waved it again and again.
Standing next to him was Chen Tianhua, who had served Lu Xuan breakfast in the interrogation room. At this time, he was also covered in wounds and blood, and his chest was pierced by a spear, but he was still fighting. .
"Hold, hold" Chen Tianhua's consciousness was blurred and completely unclear, and blood fell from his mouth as if it was free.
Finally, he couldn't hold on anymore, and one of his arms was chopped off by a cultist with a long sword. Chen Tianhua suddenly woke up, hissing in pain, and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
A long sword came across and cut off his head, adding a touch of blood to the ground.
"For my Lord!" the cultists shouted again. This pass was crumbling, and Ji Bochang was close to weakness, scarred, and even on the verge of death!
“It’s just too much”
In the distance, Ao Chengzhong looked solemn, protecting Yan Jiangxue and not daring to take action again.
Those giant eyes in the sky clearly locked onto him. If he went on a killing spree, he would probably die suddenly on the spot, let alone take Xiao Yan away.
"Miss," he said tiredly, "let's go."
"But..." Yan Jiangxue said hesitantly: "But there are so many people here."
She raised her eyes and looked around. The underground shelter had long been crowded, and people who had arrived late were crowded in the huge square, standing close to each other and rubbing shoulders.
At a glance, you can't count how many people there are.
"If we don't leave, it will be too late."
Ao Chengzhong sighed softly:
"The unknown big man in the sky is watching this place. I can't take action anymore, and that person will give Chairman Yan a face. Before the big ceremony officially begins, I can still take you away with Miss, but if I wait until the big ceremony starts, .”
Yan Jiangxue stood in the heavy rain. The rain blurred her cold face and her beautiful eyes.
"Where's Xiao Lu? What should Xiao Lu do?"
"Don't worry. As long as the child stays in the ruins and doesn't come out, he will be fine. After all, it is a super ruin. It is suspected to be the tomb of an ancient deity or an ancient Buddha. The grand ceremony will not affect it."
"But..." Xiao Yan said in a low tone: "But when Xiao Lu came out and looked around, there were only corpses everywhere, only blood that couldn't be washed away, and the whole city was empty. How sad would he be?"
"It's better than death," Ao Chengzhong sighed again.
While they were talking, more and more cultists were coming, and more and more cultists were coming.
Li Xiaosang, Chen Qishou and Zhang Tiandong, who were guarding in front of a pass, were also scarred. Each of them was covered in blood, some of them, some of the cultists, but also the blood of the people who were also stationed here.
This pass is managed by the Longque Technology Branch in the city. The general manager of the branch is a Grand Master and has died. The head of the security department who temporarily took over the command roared:
"We can't hold on anymore, retreat, retreat first!"
"No!" Li Xiaosang said reflexively: "When we retreated, the cultists rushed in and behind them were the citizens!"
"This pass really cannot be defended. If we continue to defend it, you and I will die here!" the minister continued to roar.
Li Xiaosang sobbed and didn't say a word. He just grabbed the sword and continued to fight, numbly cutting off the heads of each cultist. However, if he didn't pay attention, he was attacked by a slightly stronger cultist. His chest collapsed and his blood was free of charge. It seemed to overflow from the corners of the mouth.
"Xiao Sang!" Chen Qishou exclaimed, angrily struck out and knocked the cultist away. He and Zhang Tiandong ran forward and helped her up.
"I'm fine," Li Xiaosang said in a weak voice, "No internal organs were injured, and the injury is not too serious."
Chen Qishou and Zhang Tiandong both breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became worried again. Looking at the dense crowd of cultists and hearing the shouts of 'for my Lord', they all became a little desperate.
It seems that I am destined to die here today.
Li Xiaosang struggled to stand up at this time, ignoring the injury on his chest. He grabbed the sword and continued to fight.
But when she looked back at the others, she was stunned.
His godfather, the head of the security department of Longque Technology's branch, had quietly retreated and disappeared.
She gave a wry smile, ignored it, and swung her sword with Chen Qishou and Zhang Tiandong to kill the enemy.
But without the security minister, the Grand Master, to restrain him, high-ranking Grandmasters and even cultists at the Grand Master level suddenly came in.
Members of Longque Technology fell down one by one, each one died tragically on the spot, and the entire barrier was torn apart!
"That's it." Li Xiaosang leaned on his sword and supported his extremely tired body. He, Chen Qishou and Zhang Tiandong were close to each other. They looked at the cultists with fanatical expressions on their faces as they walked towards them. They were all desperate.
No more energy.
"I'm going to die."
Li Xiaosang smiled softly, a look of nostalgia flashed across his face:
"It's a pity that I never saw him until my death. It would be great if I could do it again."
On the side, Zhang Tiandong smiled bitterly:
"Xiao Sang, I'm right next to you, can you look at me?"
Li Xiaosang glanced at him and smiled:
"No, I won't look at you. If there really is a next life and we can meet like this, you might still have a chance."
Chen Qishou smiled as he looked at the cultists who were getting closer and closer. He knew that there was no way to escape, but he suddenly relaxed and said amusedly:
"Look, what I said before is that if you lick a dog, you will die a good death. This time, it really will not be a good death."
"Get the hell out of here!" Zhang Tiandong laughed and scolded, but his eyes were full of calmness, waiting for death.
"only."
Li Xiaosang sighed again:
"Zhang Tiandong, let me tell you, don't be sad. I actually really want to take another look at Lu Xuan. I don't know how he is doing now or whether he has escaped."
Hearing this, Chen Qishou glanced at Zhang Tiandong with disdain and coughed up blood while making fun of:
"You are such a clown!"
"Haha!" Zhang Tiandong said weakly, "That's all, just be a clown. Being a clown is pretty good."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, dipped a little blood on Chen Qishou's body, spit it on the corners of his mouth, and drew it upward to form a big smile.
"I went first!"
He smiled and said: "Xiao Sang, I have to die in front of you."
After saying that, Zhang Tiandong limped and rushed towards the cultists. After ferociously cutting down two cultists, he was surrounded by more people, who pierced him with long swords and spears. .
Li Xiaosang cried and closed his eyes, while Chen Qishou looked sideways and couldn't bear to look.
The next second.
The rain stopped.
Zhang Tiandong, who had closed his eyes and waited for death, opened his eyes blankly and saw that the sword closest to him was only a hair away, but all the cultists were frozen in place, motionless.
Equally stagnant is the rain curtain.
Four continuous lines of rain curtains hovered in mid-air, shimmering, not just here, but throughout Donghai City!
"This is."
Li Xiaosang asked blankly, looking at the cultists who were standing still and the drops of stagnant rain in confusion.
"Look!" Chen Qishou suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky.
The sky has been dyed blood red for some time, and the blood evil stretches for thousands of miles, surging vast and endless.
Immediately, the murderous intent like a tidal wave swept through the entire Donghai City, freezing everyone in place and setting off a turbulent wave!
Could it be that the owner of those giant eyes in the sky is about to take action?
This thought came to everyone's mind.
"wrong!"
Ao Chengzhong suddenly woke up and struggled to get rid of the suppression of murderous intent, but a joyful look appeared on his face:
"This is. This is another great one!"
For those of great rank, when they have the intention to kill, there will be blood evil that stretches for thousands of miles, just like a murderous intention sent from heaven.
At this moment, at this moment, there seems to be another great statue appearing here!
But a turnaround?
Subconsciously, Ao Chengzhong suddenly looked sideways, looked into the distance, and finally saw it!
It is a golden avenue that stretches over Donghai City.
Accompanying the fairy music movement with the meaning of supremacy, purity and inaction, accompanied by the dark and brilliant celebration smoke, accompanied by the ethereal and heavy light essence!
There was a sound of footsteps, like a muffled drum or a big thunder.
‘Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom’
Walking step by step, the heavy drum beat, all the rainwater stagnant in the air was shaken away, the sky was cleared, and a whole city was at peace with it!
Coming along the golden avenue was an old man, dressed in golden ancient clothes, with white hair full of vicissitudes of life, and surrounded by the heavy aura of three thousand years of time.
He came with heavy steps and a muffled heartbeat. Every sound sent ripples across the sky.
As the old man walked, he stared at the city below in confusion and sadness, looking at the corpses and the blood that was not washed away on the ground, and wept.
He saw Lu Xiuyuan who was holding a long knife and was exhausted, saw Ji Bochang with a broken hand, saw Chen Tianhua with his head rolling on the ground, and saw Li Xiaosang with scars.
Every scene that comes into view increases the anger. The memories of seven years ago and the tragic scenes in front of him are like sharp blades, piercing the heart.
"Fellow."
In the sky, the owner of those giant eyes that were hundreds of meters wide spoke:
"Fellow Taoist, why are you here?"
The sound was like the ringing of a brilliant heavenly bell, echoing throughout Donghai City.
The civilians in the square and the wounded monks at various checkpoints, as well as Ao Chengzhong and Yan Jiangxue, all looked at the old man quietly.
Countless eyes were filled with expectations and worries.
What I am looking forward to is that the old man will come to protect the common people, but what I am afraid of is that this supreme being is just passing by without asking or caring.
In the sky, the golden avenue.
The old man stamped his feet and did not use the vitality of heaven and earth or his own blood. Instead, he called on his own spiritual will to suppress the cultists with incomparable accuracy.
Millions of cultists fell to the ground together, resonating with each other and making a loud noise! !
The giant eyes suddenly froze.
Lu Xuan raised his head at this time, his long golden clothes fluttering in the wind. As it fluttered, he spoke in a very cold voice:
"I'm here to kill you."
The giant eyes pressed down, revealing a huge face spanning thousands of meters, and a terrifying sense of oppression swept through the entire Donghai City.
This great immortal smiled and said:
"Fellow Taoist, I'm afraid it's not enough for you. No, it's far behind."
After all, he was a great true immortal with extraordinary knowledge. He could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Lu Xuan's condition. His control over power was very weak, and his whole body's vitality was shaking uncontrollably, setting off a big tide.
Lu Xuan raised his head, looked directly at the huge face, and said word by word:
"Then try it?"
"Why not?"
The two immortal powers collided together, just like big waves colliding with each other, causing waves to surge into the sky.
Lu Xuan walked towards the sky. As he walked, he touched the invisible mark on his palm.
