Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Countless swords tore through the air outside the city lord's manor. Looking out, one could see many injured soldiers standing in the air, their bodies wrapped in bandages.
Even so, there wasn't a trace of fear in their eyes. Instead, they looked as if they were facing death with equanimity.
General Ning glanced outside and recalled Kui Lin's words. Suddenly, the armor in his hands felt as heavy as a mountain.
He gently lowered it to the ground and took a few steps back.
"Your Excellency, I will return in triumph!"
"Stop right there!" Kui Lin shouted, his eyes bloodshot. "Are you not going to listen to me anymore?"
"Your Excellency, you're tired. I don't understand what you're saying. I can only promise you that the Third Demon God's men won't be able to take half a step into the city. Rest here and rest. When you wake up, I'll be by your side. "
"Can't you see our brothers' injuries?!"
"That's glory's injuries!"
"You …" Kui Lin's finger trembled as he pointed at General Ning. "I know you can't accept this. You might think I'm a coward, but have you thought about your brothers? Can you represent them …?"
"Your subordinate can!"
Suddenly, a silver longsword with a cold gleam appeared in General Ning's hand.
"If any of them are afraid, my sword will show them the consequences of being afraid. My warriors only know how to advance. "
With that, General Ning didn't say anything else and flew into the void.
Not all of Kui Lin's men had gathered outside the city lord's manor. Only General Ning's subordinates had come.
In fact, the people gathered here could only be described as a defeated army.
Almost all of them were covered in wounds of varying severity. Because General Ning was the commander, they'd been the main vanguard during the breakout. Their injuries were all from carrying Kui Lin.
"General! The Emperor …. "
The one who spoke was General Ning's deputy general. His injuries were among the more serious.
His left calf and right arm had been chopped off, and a long scar stretched from his left eye to his ear. He was wrapped in white bandages, and if you tore them apart, you'd be able to see the bone-deep wounds underneath.
But he'd come despite his injuries.
He knew that even if General Ning's soldiers died, they had to die on the battlefield!
"His Majesty is tired, but His Majesty has given us the most glorious mission. A hundred li outside the city, the Third Demon God is leading his soldiers to attack us. Our mission is to kill them all before they see Baina City. Do you have the confidence?! "
General Ning's tiger-like eyes swept over the soldiers under him. No matter how badly they were injured, he could feel their boiling blood from their eyes.
"Yes!"
"I know all of you are injured. If we defend against the enemy this time, we might be completely wiped out. Are you afraid?" General Ning shouted angrily again.
"Heh, I'm going to die anyway. Even if I die, I'm going to drag them down with me!"
"I'm afraid of cowards!"
"Yes, I'm afraid of cowards!"
The soldiers shouted one after another. General Ning nodded his head in satisfaction. These were the soldiers that he, Kui Ning, had trained.
Kui Ning glanced at Kui Lin, his eyes flashing with determination.
"My lord, Kui Ning will definitely return victorious!"
Kui Ning retracted his gaze and pointed his sword outside the city.
"Forward!"
…
…
…
"Kui Ning, get back here!"
Kui Lin roared from within the city lord's manor. He'd never imagined that General Ning would leave a barrier around the city lord's manor before leaving.
The Blood Explosion Secret Art had caused Kui Lin's cultivation to plummet, and Kui Ning was an outstanding sovereign.
For the time being, he couldn't break the barrier.
However, he knew that his angry shouts could be heard by Kui Ning and his subordinates. However, they acted as if they did not hear his order, and turned into a rain of swords and left.
The Third Demon God's army didn't stay put. Instead, they advanced.
When the scouts had reported that they were a hundred li away, a hundred li was too short a distance for diviners and sovereigns.
As Kui Lin and Kui Ning conversed, Kui Ning's soldiers gathered …
The Third Demon God's army had advanced too far into Baina City.
Less than a hundred breaths after General Ning's army had left, an explosion rocked the city.
Roars of fury and slaughter echoed in everyone's ears. The citizens of the city shivered in fear, not knowing what to do. Many of the new recruits who'd been forcibly recruited into Kui Lin's army stood on the city walls, their hands trembling as they gripped their weapons.
The gods, yao, and demons were all supreme-level experts, but that didn't mean they'd all experienced this before.
In fact, many of them had never seen blood before.
"You guys, hold the weapons in your hands tight!"
There were quite a few other officers on the city walls. When they saw the trembling new recruits, they gave each of them a kick.
"Take a good look at General Ning and the others' battle postures. Take a good look at them."
"General Ning's army has always been invincible. All you have to do is stand here and wait for General Ning's triumphant return!"
"If General Ning is unlucky enough to be defeated, you …. Grab your heads and charge!"
"No one is allowed to enter this city. If any of you dare retreat, I'll cut off your heads!"
Boom! Boom!
Explosions rang out incessantly outside, and the same went for the city lord's manor.
Kui Lin's fists slammed into the barrier over and over again. Although General Ning's barrier was strong, Kui Lin didn't hold back. Cracks began to appear in the barrier.
An hour passed ….
During this time, Kui Lin grew increasingly anxious.
The sounds of battle outside were like a thorn stabbing into his heart. He didn't want to fight anymore. He didn't want to watch his subordinates die.
Didn't Han Tan want to kill him?!
Kui Lin was being killed!
Crack.
Under Kui Lin's relentless assault, the barrier around the city lord's manor finally shattered.
Without hesitation, Kui Lin flew out of the city, but before he could do so, four figures appeared at his side.
"Your Imperial Majesty, General Ning told us to watch over you!"
They were all Imperial Lords, the last generals of Kui Lin's old army.
Demonic energy surged around them, surrounding Kui Lin. Kui Lin glared at them with bloodshot eyes.
"Are you trying to rebel?" "Your Imperial Majesty, please calm your anger," said one of the fatter Imperial Lords. "You are our emperor, and we are your subordinates. Before we die in battle, we won't let you do anything dangerous. You know General Ning, and you know his soldiers. We believe in him and will return in triumph.
The general can return in triumph, so please believe in General Ning! "
"General Baili is right. Your Imperial Majesty, please return to the city lord's manor and rest. Leave everything to us!"
"Your Imperial Majesty, please return to rest!"
Kui Lin's hands trembled as he looked at his former subordinates.
"You …. I don't want to fight with them anymore. Han Tan wants me, so I'll go back with them. You're all Imperial Lords; you don't have to worry about your future prospects. "
"Your Imperial Majesty, we don't understand what you're saying!" The generals gestured toward the city lord's manor. "Your Imperial Majesty, please return to your manor and await good news."
At that moment, a scout hurried in from outside.
With a flustered expression, he whispered a few words in the ear of one of the Sovereign Monarchs. The Sovereign Monarch's eyes narrowed, and he waved his hand, signaling for the Sovereign Monarch to leave. Then, he communicated with the other Sovereign Monarchs with his divine sense before leaving.
A few breaths later, Kui Lin saw a black horde of demons heading out of the city.
"What's wrong? What's going on outside?" shouted Kui Lin.
"Don't worry, Your Imperial Majesty. Everything is fine. Please return to your manor and await good news."
As soon as he finished speaking, another Imperial Lord left. A few breaths later, yet another horde of demons headed out of the city.
For some reason, as more and more people left, the sounds of battle grew softer and softer.
The sounds of battle intensified Kui Lin's premonition, but he couldn't move a single step under the watchful eyes of two Imperial Lords.
At that moment, the sound of flying swords tore through the air.
Kui Lin jerked his head up and saw that it wasn't the armies led by the Imperial Lords, but the Third Demon God. "Kui Lin, oh, Kui Lin, you sure know how to hide. You've hidden yourself in such a remote place. I've been looking for you for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that one of my subordinates used to work there, I wouldn't even have known that the demons had a city like this. "The Third Demon God was an old man with a hooked nose.
Despite the sounds of battle, he hadn't been injured in the slightest.
The remaining two Sovereign Emperors took a step forward and let out a long cry.
In the blink of an eye, the black mass of the Demon Race army appeared in the sky above the city.
"Oh, there's still so many of them. Kui Lin, it seems your ten thousand years haven't been in vain. You've left behind so many loyal soldiers."
"What happened to Kui Ning, Bai Li, and the others?"
If the Third Demon God's men were here, that meant General Ning and the others had been defeated.
Defeat didn't matter. As long as they weren't dead, Kui Lin could accept being captured. Although he knew that Kui Ning and the others would only fight to the death and never be captured, he still held on to a sliver of hope.
He looked hopefully at the Third Demon God.
"Them?"
With a flip of his hand, the Third Demon God took out three heads and tossed them at Kui Lin, who carefully caught them.
"Little Ning, Bai Li, the old demon …."
The three heads belonged to General Ning and the two Imperial Lords who'd led the troops out. Kui Ning's head, in particular … hadn't even closed his eyes in death.
Kui Lin stared at the three heads in his hands, his heart pained. Tears streamed uncontrollably from his eyes.
