Annihilation, extreme annihilation …
The sword gleam seemed to be very slow, but those very agile bat demons seemed to have fallen into a quagmire. Their bodies seemed to be stuck with glue and they could not move at all. They could only watch in despair as the terrifying sword gleam swept past and swallowed them up.
There was no sound. Even the desperate roars of those bat demons could not be heard. Everyone's ears seemed to have gone deaf. They could not hear anything. Only their eyes could see everything.
The terrifying sword gleam crushed and all the bat demons that came into contact with it were turned into ashes. They were completely swallowed up, or rather, purified. Not even their bones were left. Not even ashes were left.
After one sword gleam, the originally dark sky was completely clear! Everyone looked in horror at the young man who was standing in the air with a sword in hand. Their expressions were complicated and different. Just one sword gleam. Just one sword gleam. This young man who came out of nowhere actually annihilated the flying bat demons that they regarded as their greatest threat and who gave them a headache!
This …
"Bastard, what are you standing there for? Let the enemy cut you in half?"
The world was silent. However, as the protagonist of all this, the young man suddenly glared and roared at the people below. Instantly, thousands of people were awakened.
There was no suspense in the battle!
With the rise in morale and the annihilation of the main force of the Demon Race, which was the most important flying force, the Demon soldiers on the ground who were only from the Fake Demon World were instantly disheartened and unable to resist. Most importantly, the general who led this Demon army to besiege Luocheng had died under Chu Rui's indiscriminate attack just now.
The main force was annihilated and the general died in battle. Such a blow was simply fatal to an army. However, the Demon soldiers were still frantically resisting. In addition to their cruel and ruthless characters, the most important thing was that these guys could see very clearly. They had slaughtered too many before. Humans would not let them go. As such, it was better to die in a dignified manner on the battlefield. That would be more inspiring and tragic. If they surrendered, they might not die, but they would definitely be tortured to death. Most importantly, after being tortured and getting useful information out of him, he would still die when he was no longer of any use to him. Under such circumstances, even an idiot would know what to choose.
"Hero, hero, hero …"
"Hero, hero, hero …"
"Hero, hero, hero …"
"Hero, hero, hero …"
"…"
The battle was won!
The originally hopeless human allied army not only saw a glimmer of hope, but they also saw the sun. In despair, they could only squat in the fortress of Luo City, relying on the enchantment to protect their lives. Their only hope was that the Imperial Capital would send people to rescue them. However, while the commoners were kept in the dark, the higher-ups knew about it. Now that the Imperial Capital could barely take care of itself, how could they care about the life and death of Luocheng? However, once such military intelligence was spread out, the entire Luo City would be thrown into chaos. When that happened, things would get out of hand. Before the enemy could even attack, they would already be in a state of disarray and digging their own graves.
However, they never expected that the teams they sent out to recruit soldiers would inadvertently attract a super god, who saved them all at the most critical moment. At this moment, everyone, even those who valued fame and fortune, heard the frenzied cheers of the commoners and ordinary soldiers below. They were wildly praising the young man who had saved Luoyang City and countless lives in the city. None of them felt dissatisfied at all. This was because their lives were also saved by this young man.
A hero?
The corners of Chu Rui's mouth curled up slightly without leaving a trace! Although he didn't want to be a hero, because heroes were always tragic. However, after being a hero once in the Tomb of the Gods Realm, he didn't mind being one a second time. However, being a hero this time might be different from being the last time. Being a hero was just a pretense. It was a pretense for him to achieve his goals.
Being a hero was also a transaction!
Looking at the frenzied people below and the overjoyed commoners and soldiers who had escaped a disaster, Chu Rui felt neither joy nor sorrow. He didn't feel guilty about using them at all. Because this was a transaction. He saved them, and they put him on the altar. They each took what they needed. That was all. Luoyang City was just a fortress city of the Canglan Empire. However, if he became a hero here, he would naturally be treated like a moon surrounded by stars.
He was no longer the sickly person who had wandered deep into the mountains and forests and had to rely on a simple young man to save his rations to cook porridge for him every day to prolong his life. With the support and resources of Luoyang City, he could recover his strength as quickly as possible. Then, he would go save the Canglan Empire and obtain even more high-grade resources to further recover his strength. This cycle repeated itself, step by step. He was almost close to achieving his goal.
"I am Luoyang City's City Lord, Luo Ning. Thank you for your righteousness as a hero for saving the countless citizens and citizens of Luoyang City!"
The man dressed like a general, whose sword had been snatched away by Chu Rui, walked over quickly and knelt down on one knee. He had a serious and sincere expression as he thanked Luo Ning. Behind him, a large row of famous people also knelt down on the ground. These big shots, who could usually make Luoyang City tremble with a stomp of their feet, didn't have the slightest bit of arrogance as they usually did. There was nothing but gratitude on their faces. They had power and influence, so they were more afraid of death than ordinary people. Chu Rui had saved their lives, so he was like a second parent to them. Perhaps they had some other thoughts in their hearts, but now that he had saved their lives, if they still put on airs and showed him an attitude, their political enemies would attack them. Just the commoners and soldiers below would tear them apart alive.
"Everyone, there's no need to be like this! Now that Chi Mei is in power, it is only natural for us to exterminate the evil and uphold justice. Everyone, please get up. "
Since they were defined as heroes, they naturally had to act to fulfill this role. Chu Rui hurriedly walked over and helped the city lord, Luo Ning, up. When the city lord got up, those who knelt down behind him naturally got up as well.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, city lord Luo Ning was about to hold a banquet to celebrate the victory of this unprecedented war! However, at this time, Chu Rui refused and put on a compassionate expression. His words made this group of people blush and feel ashamed. Of course, no one knew how much they really had and how much they were pretending to have.
Everyone knew the current situation, so they naturally didn't say much. Under Chu Rui's advice, everyone's emotions surged as they offered up all the treasures they had collected at home. They were laymen, so they preferred gold, silver, and silk. However, Chu Rui didn't want any of these, which immediately made them feel relieved. However, he had saved their lives, so they naturally had to express their gratitude. The treasures that their benefactor had opened his mouth to say that they had used up too much energy in the war to replenish their vitality, and then they would go to the imperial capital to save the people. Under such an excuse, who would dare to refuse? Thus, Chu Rui unknowingly overflowed with wealth!
