The carriages were lined up in a long line on the road that was only wide enough for one carriage, moving in an orderly manner.
Tao Qian stared at the other side of the mountain. He was very worried that the demons would take advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack. Then, not only would they have to defend the city, but they would also have to prevent their supplies from being stolen or destroyed by the demons, which would add a lot of pressure. Fortunately, when the carriage reached the city gate, there was still no movement from the other side.
Xu Longxiang, who was in the convoy, secretly sneered. This was originally the best time for the demons to attack, but for the sake of a more long-term plan, he had to give up.
"Alas, are there any swordsmen in the demon race? It would be great if he attacked at this time. I have long wanted to have a contest with a demon swordsman. "
"They only know how to eat humans. Using swords? It's not as useful as claws. "
"Aren't you being too biased? What the devils eat is the same as what we eat. Cannibalism only happens in the Ghost Race."
"What's the difference?"
"There's a huge difference."
"Ahem, they're all enemies anyway and must be killed. There's no need to deliberately differentiate between them." Xu Longxiang hurriedly interrupted them. Otherwise, these two idiots would definitely start fighting again when they got into a heated argument. That scene would not be pleasant to look at, and there might even be variables. It was more important to sneak into the city as soon as possible.
"That's true."
The city gates opened. Yuan Chen, who was in charge of receiving them, let the two from the Iron Blood Alliance go first because they were familiar with each other. Then, it was Xu Longxiang's turn. The Demon Blood Bead could not detect any problems with him, so it took a drop of blood from his fingertip. It was bright red.
Just let him go.
After the inspection, Yuan Chen was about to take over the caravan when he suddenly heard a shrill piercing sound. He was already mentally prepared. Looking up, he saw the Winged Devil Person diving down from the sky.
Dong … Dong … Dong … The bell that symbolized the beginning of the war was struck three times. Naturally, it wasn't an ordinary bronze bell, but a precious artifact created by several Heavenly Arts Master Craftsmen. It possessed an inspiring power.
"Son of a bitch has finally made his move!" Yuan Chen clenched his teeth and shouted towards the two people from the Iron Blood Alliance, "Please help us escort them!"
"I will not shirk my responsibility!" Before Zhong Hanqiu could finish speaking, the former had already disappeared.
Long Aoshuang pouted, "So troublesome!" With that said, he still walked to the front to prevent the demons from rushing into the city and causing damage to the important resources.
Xu Longxiang was secretly delighted. He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He guessed that the convoy's destination would be the storehouse, and as long as he followed, he would be able to find it. At this moment, a person was walking towards him from the opposite side of the street. When he saw that person, his body immediately stiffened, and he instinctively felt some fear. Thinking back, when this person's strength was still weak, he couldn't defeat him. After that, his strength advanced by leaps and bounds. Not only did he lose in terms of cultivation, he also couldn't succeed in any of his schemes. Thinking of this, it was terrifying. What if his identity was revealed?
He noticed that the caravan had stopped. Zhong Hanqiu suddenly pulled out the giant sword on his back, giving him a big fright.
"I've finally found you. I, Zhong Hanqiu, only want to be defeated once in my life. Make your move!" Zhong Hanqiu slightly leaned to the side and raised his giant sword to face the incoming person.
Long Aoshuang saw who it was and curled her lips in disdain. "So it's you. I've heard that you're now the commander-in-chief of the allied forces. Alright, I'll reluctantly admit that you're qualified to speak to me given your status. However, that doesn't necessarily apply to the way of the sword. You'll have to defeat my subordinates first. "It was as if the person had come to challenge him to a duel.
"I am not your subordinate!" Zhong Hanqiu corrected him unhappily.
"So it is the two heroes." The person was Yan Li. As he looked at the battle situation on the city gate tower in the distance, he diverted some of his attention to size them up. After a brief recollection, he recalled the names of the two people and their legendary experiences. Seeing an unfamiliar face, he teased, "The Iron Triangle Brotherhood Alliance is finally formed?"
Zhong Hanqiu said, "That's right, today is the day. I didn't think there would be two happy events. Yan Shifang, make your move. I only want to see you defeated! "
"Today?" Yan Li narrowed his eyes.
Xu Longxiang lowered his head and was flustered. He lowered his voice and said, "We met by chance. I am Xu Longxiang. I have the honor of following the two heroes to support the righteous path. I am very happy."
"Oh." Yan Li nodded. "Brother Zhong, it is not that I don't want to spar with you. The demons have already attacked. As the commander, I should fight on the front lines."
"I see." Zhong Hanqiu sheathed his sword regretfully. "I did not think it through. I will wait for Brother Yan's triumphant return."
Yan Li said, "After I defeat the demons, I will hold a banquet to apologize. Excuse me." With that, he rushed toward the city tower. With a few leaps, he was already hundreds of feet away. He stopped on a roof and looked back at the convoy slowly disappearing around the corner. He smiled. With another few leaps, he arrived at the city tower.
The demons' attack was not strong. They seemed to have expected that Yan Li would choose to defend. The first wave of Winged Devil Men attacked with Dark Devil Arrows. After being swept away by the sword light array, they left a few corpses and fled.
When Tao Qian saw Yan Li come up, he hurriedly reported, "Commander, the demons made a feint attack. This subordinate speculated that they saw the supplies entering the city and were preparing some tactics. They could only send some Winged Devil Men to attack first."
"Although it was only an attack, your defense was very relaxed. It was very exciting." Yan Li said affirmatively. In fact, if it were him, there would not even be any loss. However, his experience made him understand human nature. He knew when to recognize the efforts of others.
"Commander, you flatter me!" Tao Qian's mood immediately changed. His nervousness was greatly relieved. He stole a glance at Yan Li. This young commander was about the same age as him, but his bearing was like that of a general who had been on the battlefield for a long time. He was not as nervous as him. He suddenly thought of the bet and could not help but say, "Commander, if it is only defense, three months will pass in the blink of an eye. If Li Xueyi saw through this and deliberately delayed time, neither attacking nor retreating, what should we do? "
Yan Li smiled. "Isn't it good that no one died?"
Tao Qian was surprised. "Then won't you lose the bet?"
Yan Li said, "There are many people in the Court Of Sword waiting to see me make a fool of myself. Don't you want me to lose?"
Tao Qian smiled bitterly. "As a fellow disciple and an elder, I naturally hope for the commander to do well."
Yan Li smiled again. "Actually, this victory or defeat does not mean much to me. However, taking back the entire Chiyou region is very important to the Court Of Sword and Eldest Senior Brother. So I will not lose. "
"That's good." Tao Qian was delighted. He knew that Yan Li had a good relationship with the new hierarch. He also knew that Yan Li was a man of his word. If he said he would not lose, then he definitely would not lose.
Yan Li suddenly raised his head and threw out a green steel sword. The sword turned into a ray of light and tore through the void. It shattered a red maple leaf and turned itself into powder.
"Little thief Yan, you coward. You are finally willing to come out and fight me?" A delicate laughter echoed in the mountains.
PS: I've finally broken the curse of only being able to write one chapter! After Fenglin's scenes were completed, I always felt that it was very strenuous to write. Sometimes, I would flip through the earlier chapters and found that the style of writing and dialogue was slowly becoming mature. However, now it feels like it has regressed. I'm still trying different things. This chapter pursues a concise writing style and plot. I want to use simple yet profound words to describe the story. However, every time I write, I feel that it lacks charm and is not as vivid. Once I have this feeling, I can't continue. It's not that I can't write, but that I don't want to continue. Originally, after returning from Chengdu, I planned to go into seclusion for a hundred days to finish this chapter. A friend even bought me a pile of snacks that is enough to open a snack shop. However, the situation is so awkward. I feel like I have strength but nowhere to use it. In terms of updating, I should give priority to freedom. I don't want to release a single chapter every day, saying that there is only one chapter today or that there is no update today. Anyway, as long as there is a chapter that meets my requirements, it will be uploaded. At this stage, whether you read it or not doesn't affect the results of Bombshell. After all, it is coming to an end. However, I still hope that you can read it and correct me in time to give me new motivation.
