Zhou Wen's long-distance teleportation still had a certain deviation. He was teleported to a spot about fifteen kilometers away from Guide Ancient City.
There were a large number of Skeleton Soldiers wandering around. Upon seeing Zhou Wen appear, dozens of Skeleton Soldiers nearby rushed over.
With a wave of his hand, Zhou Wen killed all the nearby Skeleton Soldiers before quickly teleporting away. However, the direction he teleported in wasn't Guide Ancient City, but Guide High School, which he had previously studied at.
For so many Skeleton Soldiers to appear here meant that Guide City's situation was probably terrible. Compared to the problem of the stone saber, he was more worried about Yu Qiubai's safety.
After the former principal left, Yu Qiubai had always taken good care of him. If not for Yu Qiubai's introduction, he wouldn't have gotten to know Li Xuan.
Although Ouyang Lan would definitely let him enter Sunset College without teaming up with Li Xuan, that wasn't what Zhou Wen wanted. If he wanted to enter, he had to rely on himself. Otherwise, he would rather not go.
According to what Zhou Wen knew, Yu Qiubai lived in the school's staff dormitory. He had a wife, but he didn't have any children. If he hadn't moved out, Zhou Wen would likely be able to find him once he returned to school.
With Zhou Wen's speed, traveling fifteen kilometers was a blink of an eye. When he arrived at Guide High School, he saw that it had already turned into a battlefield. There were soldiers fighting Skeleton Soldiers on the streets.
With the school as a base, the soldiers and the school's teachers were fighting waves of Skeleton Soldiers and Skeleton Generals.
The surrounding streets were filled with a tidal wave of Skeleton Soldiers. There were quite a number of Skeleton Generals, and there were even some Skeleton Generals that emitted flames. They were all existences at the Epic stage.
The school's defense line was being pushed back and could collapse at any moment.
Zhou Wen saw Yu Qiubai at a glance. Yu Qiubai was only at the Epic stage, but he was riding a goose and constantly shooting arrows in midair. He was engaged in a battle with a skeleton horse with a blood-colored cloak and blood-stained armor.
Although it was a battle, Yu Qiubai was in fact holding back the general's attention, preventing him from charging towards the school. The general had already reached the Mythical stage. This was only a high school, so none of the teachers or reinforcements in the school were his match.
The great warrior raised his spear towards the sky, and a blood-colored flame tore through the air like a moon. Yu Qiubai desperately controlled the wild goose to dodge the attack of the blood-colored flame.
Yu Qiubai's body was already riddled with injuries, and the goose beneath him was also injured. He was clearly having a hard time fighting. As he attracted the general's attention, he shouted, "Run … Run from the back door …"
The students in the school retreated through the back door under the cover of the soldiers. However, although there were no Mythical generals at the back door, there were groups of skeletons. Most of the soldiers and teachers were fighting in front, and only a small number of soldiers were there. They attacked a few times but failed to rush out.
There were already many timid girls crying out, and many of the boys were on the verge of breaking down.
The soldiers also knew that under such circumstances, it was only a matter of time before the defensive line was breached. If there were no reinforcements, it was estimated that no one would be able to escape alive.
But now, Guide City was filled with skeletons. They needed reinforcements everywhere, so who could spare the strength to help them?
"Old Wu, lead Team Two to the back door and open up a path. Help the students charge out. Lead them as far as possible to the administrative district in the east."
"Captain, we can't hold on any longer. If we leave, do we still want the defensive line?" Old Wu, who was covered in blood, shouted as he fought.
"The defensive line will be breached sooner or later. When that happens, we will all die. We'll hold on for a while. Lead them out. Every survivor counts." The captain had already used up all his Essence Gold bullets. He held his Companion Beast saber and slashed with all his might.
"If we leave, all of you will be dead!" Old Wu refused to retreat.
"If you don't leave, all of us will be dead. Leave. That's an order. Take the students to the east. They should be able to hold on for a while longer. As long as we last until reinforcements arrive, a few of us will survive …"
"I'm not leaving. If we die, we die together. It doesn't matter if we die sooner or later. Why are we waiting for reinforcements? Who else can reinforce us near Guide City?" Old Wu continued fighting as he roared.
The captain still wanted to say something, but he opened his bloodstained lips. In the end, he didn't say a word.
The strongest military force in the vicinity was in Guide City. Now, even Guide City couldn't fend for themselves, so who could reinforce them?
Unless the Luoyang army sent reinforcements, but Luoyang was too far from Guide City. There was no way they could last until the Luoyang army arrived.
"Captain, I heard that Guide City had a famous general, Zhang Xun. He defended the city without retreating. With no rations or reinforcements, he defended the city to the death. With thousands of soldiers, he repelled tens of thousands of rebel soldiers outside the city. He fought more than four hundred bloody battles without being defeated, defending half of Great Tang. Although we aren't as capable as Zhang Xun, to be able to die in battle like him on this land, even if we can't be considered heroes, we can still be considered to be following in the footsteps of a hero, right? "Old Wu shouted as he fought.
The captain said with a tragic smile, "If it were possible, I'd rather none of you be heroes."
"So what if we die? Who doesn't die? Brothers, we won't be lonely if we have companions on the road … "As Old Wu spoke, he saw a defensive line break. A tidal wave of skeletons surged into the school.
"We're doomed!" When the soldiers, teachers, and students saw the skeleton army charge in like wolves and tigers, they knew that they had lost. Their eyes were filled with despair.
Yu Qiubai let out a long sigh as he looked into the school. Not only were his students there, but his wife was also there.
Hum!
Suddenly, a strange buzzing sound sounded in the sky. It was as though countless bees were flapping their wings, but no one saw any bees. Pa!
Pa! Pa!
The horde of skeletons that had charged into the school were instantly shattered by an invisible force that descended from the sky. Large swaths of skeletons were instantly diced to pieces.
It wasn't only limited to the school. The tidal wave of skeletons outside were also diced to pieces by the force that descended from the sky. Be it the lowest-level skeleton soldiers or the flaming Skeleton Combat Generals, none of them could withstand a single strike.
It was as though an invisible sword rain had enveloped the entire land, instantly destroying all the skeletons as though they were being cleansed of dust.
"What happened?" Everyone watched in a daze as the tidal wave of skeletons was killed. Even the Mythical Skeleton General was unable to withstand the invisible force. Its body was diced to pieces by the invisible sword beams that descended from the sky.
Everyone couldn't help but look up into the sky. They saw a figure standing in the sky. His clothes fluttered in the wind as his black hair fluttered in the wind. The invisible sword beams that cleansed the world like a storm came from him.
"Zhou Wen." Yu Qiubai couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised when he saw the figure.
"Teacher, I'm late." All the skeletons within Zhou Wen's reach had been killed. The distant skeleton army had yet to rush over, so Zhou Wen came in front of Yu Qiubai and said in shame.
