Luo Lan, who was wearing a golden robe, stood in the air. She looked at Lei Hong with disdain. Divine power surrounded her. She smiled faintly and said, "You are Lei Hong, one of the two Sacred Regions of Lanyan City?"
Lei Hong raised a shining iron spear. His eyes were filled with reverence. He said, "Luo Lan, the Sacred Temple is the temple of the continent's cultivators. Since ancient times, it has not been blasphemed. No matter how many soldiers pass by, no one is allowed to start a massacre in the Sacred Temple. Yihe Country massacred the entire city, but definitely not in my Sacred Temple."
"No, I don't kill."
Luo Lan's lips curled up. She said indifferently, "I'm only here to meet you, one of the two Sacred Regions of the empire."
Lei Hong glanced at the bustling citizens of Lanyan City in the Sacred Temple. He also saw Ge Yang, Qin Yan, and the others looking at him. He shouted, "Close the doors of the Sacred Temple. No matter what happens, don't come out!"
Qin Yan gritted his teeth. "Grand Deacon!"
Lei Hong said decisively, "Close the doors!"
Ge Yang pushed with his palm. Immediately, the doors of the Sacred Temple closed. Through the gap of the doors, Lei Hong, dressed in a white robe, raised his iron spear high up. The power of the Spirit Returning Art quickly spun.
…
"Good! Good! "
Luo Lan praised twice and laughed, "This is the first time I've met such an opponent since I came to the Lower Realm. Heh … but it's still not enough. I didn't expect that after Qin Yi ascended two hundred years ago, the powerhouses in the Lower Realm would be so weak that a mere Saint Venerable can become the Saint Hall's Grand Deacon!"
As she spoke, Luo Lan suddenly thrust out with one hand. A blood-red blade came out of her body. First-class Martial Spirit — Demon Blood Blade!
In the next moment, the light of the Demon Blood Blade fell down like a mountain!
"Bang!"
Dust rose. The spear in Lei Hong's hand was broken into two. A bloodstain appeared on his shoulder. But he seemed to not feel the pain at all. He suddenly leaped and rushed towards Luo Lan. His left hand was behind his back. He quickly raised his right hand. The second-class Martial Spirit, Starlight Sword, came out of his body. The blade was surrounded by the golden divine power of the Spirit Returning Art. It broke through the air!
"Good timing!"
Luo Lan chortled with glee as she gently swept an arm through the air, upon which a suit of battle armor quickly materialized. Bursts of divine power were injected into the suit of battle armor, and the suit of battle armor was able to forcibly repel Lei Hong's attack.
However, Lei Hong's attacks were unending. The moment his Martial Spirit shattered, he raised his palm, and the Soul Returning Art transformed into a golden light that fell from the sky. It was like a golden bell that enveloped Luo Lan and the Demon Blood Saber. With a "weng" sound, the flames soared into the sky and burned fiercely.
Luo Lan was dead!?
No, God would not be defeated so easily.
In the next moment, with a "chi la" sound, space distorted slightly, and a spatial crack suddenly appeared behind Lei Hong. Luo Lan's figure came out, and she said indifferently, "It ends here, Lei Hong, go to the afterlife!"
"Buzz!"
The Demon Blood Saber glowed brightly, forming a powerful Divine Realm Domain that enveloped Reihom and Luo Lan.
"Argh …"
Lei Hong let loose a howl of anguish as blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. He abruptly fell to his knees, and he was completely unable to activate his Saint Realm Domain. In the face of Luo Lan's power, he appeared to be extremely weak. Furthermore, the blood that was seeping out of the corners of his mouth transformed into beads of blood that flew toward the Demon Blood Saber. The Demon Blood Saber was a renowned "lethal weapon" that devoured the blood essence of others in order to become more powerful!
Golden-red light swelled even further, and Luo Lan's expression was quite sinister as she chortled with glee. "Accept your fate; the history of our empire is over!"
Lei Hong's body began to twist and contort, but he gritted his teeth and endured the immense pain without uttering a single sound. A series of bloody grooves appeared on his skin and face, and his energy and blood were being sucked dry by the Demon Blood Saber. However, he was unwilling to give up his entire cultivation base to the Demon Blood Saber!
"Yu … Yu!"
Reihom roared into the sky. The Underworld Azure Stone Ring on his thumb buzzed out of the Black Tortoise Shield. However, it instantly shattered under the pressure of the Demonic Blood Saber. Reihom's muscles and Qi and blood swelled up as he roared, "Take revenge for me!"
"Peng!"
Golden light exploded, and the entire plaza in front of the temple turned into a huge pit. Lei Hong's body had already disappeared. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. A dignified Grand Deacon of the temple had actually died without a complete corpse.
"Ding …"
The Azure Netherstone ring was very sturdy, and it actually fell into the rubble in the huge pit unscathed.
"Hmph!"
Luo Lan snorted coldly, and suddenly slapped out with his palm. Amidst the rumbling sound, the metal doors of the temple turned into dust and fell down. He looked at Ge Yang, Qin Yan, and the group of commoners in the temple, and said indifferently, "I, Luo Lan, have already become a god, and am not willing to harm the common people, so I won't kill you. However, you must tell me, there is still a Holy Region. Where is that Qu Chu?"
Qin Yan raised the Fire Serpent Spear and walked forward step by step, the Dragon Scale Armor covering his body. His eyes were filled with anger as he said, "Don't think that you can humiliate the lives of others just because you are a god. You want to kill Qu Chu? Dream on!"
"Hahaha …"
Luo Lan looked deeply at Qin Yan, and said, "You are not worthy for me to make a move. Scram."
"Bullshit!"
Qin Yan roared angrily, raising his spear and rushing towards the sky. He landed diagonally, and the spear pierced downwards like lightning.
However, Luo Lan did not do anything at all. The protective astral wall on the surface of his body forcefully sent Qin Yan flying. A stream of fresh blood spurted out in the air. Qin Yan's arms were already injured.
Falling to the ground in a sorry state, Ge Yang hurriedly helped Qin Yan up, his gaze hinting for him to stop attacking.
And the group of instructors and sparring masters in the temple were nearly scared out of their wits. It could be seen how strong this' god 'in front of them was. The strongest instructor of the temple could not even touch him, and he was already heavily injured. If it were someone else, they would probably have been smashed into pieces long ago.
Ge Yang looked at Luo Lan, shook his head, and said indifferently, "The massacre of the Yihe Kingdom. Everyone's whereabouts are unknown. As for where Qu Chu is, we don't know either."
"Hmph!"
Luo Lan snorted coldly, turned around, and flew out.
Ge Yang sucked in a breath of cold air, and said, "Don't hesitate anymore. Escort the citizens out of the city. The more that can escape, the better. Lord Qin Yan, can you still move?"
Qin Yan held onto his spear, wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth, and said, "I'm fine. Let's go. I wonder how Big Brother and Big Brother Lin Muyu are doing …"
An instructor cupped his fists, and said, "I heard that … the Flying Mount Camp was completely annihilated, and Lord Chu Huaiyin has already died for the country …"
"Ah …"
Qin Yan was startled, and his eyes could not conceal the vexation and unwillingness, and said, "As soldiers of the empire, we are hiding here. We can't be like Lord Chu Huaiyin. His blood has already dyed the yellow sand. This is simply a type of humiliation."
Ge Yang said, "To be able to escort these thousands of citizens out of the city is a merit of our temple. Quick, don't hesitate, get everyone out. Hiding in the temple will never escape this massacre!"
"Yes!"
…
Under the ruins, Lin Muyu, Wei Chou, and the others were wearing the uniforms of the Yihe Nation's soldiers, and they slowly rode their horses under the southern city wall of Lanyan City. They did not dare to shout loudly, and could only search for Qin Yin's figure among the passing citizens.
At the city gate, a group of Yihe Nation's soldiers armed with swords and sabers were guarding there, blocking the citizens' path of retreat. Any citizen who wanted to pass through this place had already been killed, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain. Some were burned on the spot, some were dragged further away to be buried, and even more were left exposed in the wilderness.
"Lord!"
After seeing Lin Muyu's military rank, a patrolling officer immediately cupped his fists respectfully, and said, "May I know where Lord is going?"
Lin Muyu glanced at him, and said, "Remnant of the empire … where is Qin Yin?"
The patrolling officer smiled, and said, "So Lord is also here for the one million Jin Yin coins …"
"One million Jin Yin coins?"
"Yes, Marshal Ji Yao offered a reward this morning. Anyone who captures Qin Yin will be rewarded with one million Jin Yin coins. However, it's not easy to capture Qin Yin. The imperial army is not completely wiped out yet, and it's said that Qin Lei has brought thousands of men to protect Qin Yin and leave the city through the broken wall. However, he can't have gone far, and General Lu Zhao has already led twenty thousand cavalry to chase after him."
"Where are the imperial guards?"
"The southern suburbs."
"Got it. Move aside, we're going out of the city to chase after him."
"Alright, let them through!"
… …
Outside the city, there were piles of corpses everywhere. This massacre had become a feast for the Yihe Nation of Lingnan. Lin Muyu traveled quickly in silence, while Wei Chou, Xiahou Sang, and the others had ashen faces and bloodshot eyes. As imperial guards, they could not protect the citizens of the empire. Wasn't this a kind of mockery?
"Command."
Wei Chou's ears perked up, and after listening attentively, he said, "There are sounds of fighting in the southeast!"
"Mm."
Lin Muyu's Spirit Pulse Technique had also sensed many auras ripples, and she said, "Go quickly, we might be able to make it in time."
"Yes!"
The horses galloped through the blood-stained soil, and when Lin Muyu and the others rushed out of the forest, they saw a group of people fighting in the distance. However, the battle was nearing its end, and there were corpses of imperial guards and Yihe soldiers everywhere. In the open space in the forest, there were hundreds of Yihe Nation archers holding bows and arrows, continuously shooting at the people in the inner circle.
"Alright!"
A mid-ranked officer raised his hand, and said, "The imperial guards of the Qin Empire are all dead, so let's not waste time here. Let's go and chase after Qin Yin. We must eliminate her!"
"Yes!"
After the hundreds of Yihe soldiers left on their horses, Lin Muyu and the others rushed to the battlefield, only to discover that there were many corpses of imperial guards around them. At the center, there was a person kneeling there, his entire body pierced with arrows, and the white cloak embroidered with a golden purple flower was already dyed red with blood. That cloak … White robed imperial guards, it was Qin Lei!
Lin Muyu's heart felt as if it had been clawed into pieces. She flipped off her horse and staggered, almost losing her footing. She walked shakily to Qin Lei's side, wanting to hug him, but she realized that there wasn't even a place for her to put her hands on. Qin Lei was kneeling there, his entire body pierced with arrows, and his neck had also been pierced by seven to eight arrows, causing blood to flow.
"Qin … Big Brother Qin Lei …" Lin Muyu's voice trembled, and she was almost unable to speak.
Qin Lei did not die. He closed his eyes, and his tears mixed with blood flowed down. He cried and said, "Is it Yu … Yu … Lin Muyu! I can't protect her anymore, I can't protect her anymore … "
