There were no cultivators here to help, so he could only strike first to gain the upper hand. Otherwise, if the enemy cultivators rushed over, they would not be able to stop them. This way, they would at least have an advantage.
The bowstrings sounded like cannons, and arrows flew out like rain.
The rebel army quickly raised their shields to defend, and a group of soldiers quickly raised large wooden rafts to block in front of Gu Yuanda.
Gu Yuanda, with a taut face, said in a deep voice, "Attack!"
"Fire!" The rebel army gave the order, and the archers returned fire.
Both sides suffered continuous casualties, but the number of archers in the rebel army was not something the thousands of imperial guards could compare to. The result was obvious.
Thick smoke rose into the sky above the main hall and soared into the sky.
Inside the hall, the walls and roof were already on fire. It was as if Hao Yuntu was sitting in a fiery cave. He said, "Qingqing, I haven't seen you dance since you got married. Dance and cheer for the soldiers!"
"Yes!" Hao Qingqing walked down the steps and walked to the center of the hall, where sparks flew from time to time. Suddenly, she stretched her body and threw up her sleeves, dancing gracefully with a combination of strength and softness.
Her body was slightly plump after giving birth, and she danced alone.
But who would watch? All the soldiers were fighting for their lives outside, and no one had the leisure to look inside.
However, the fire seemed to burn even more fiercely, and Hao Qingqing's dance became even more beautiful and moving.
The imperial guards had a limited number of arrows, and the arrows in their quivers were quickly used up. They could only hide behind the railings.
Seeing that the other side had no more arrows to shoot, a general of the rebel army waved his sword and shouted, "Charge!"
A group of cultivators took the lead and flew forward. The army behind them roared and charged forward, covering them like a tide.
The imperial guards hiding behind the railings came out to intercept them, but they were cut down like melons and vegetables by the cultivators.
Hu Yanwei, who had his sword in hand, watched with wide eyes. He couldn't stop them. There was no way to stop them. He could only watch helplessly as his subordinates died for nothing. That kind of feeling was incomprehensible to outsiders.
Hearing the screams outside the hall and seeing Hu Yanwei push his shield away and stand up, Hao Qingqing's tears fell like rain, and her dance spun even faster.
Seeing a cultivator flash toward him, Hu Yanwei gripped his sword with both hands.
Just as he was about to go all out, he didn't notice that the cultivators around Gu Yuanda suddenly looked up at the sky.
There were people riding on flying mounts in the sky and fighting with the patrolling cultivators from the rebel army. Then, a person descended from the sky.
Bang! The eaves of the roof were breached, and a human figure suddenly slashed out with a blade light. Blood splattered everywhere, and the cultivator who was charging towards Hu Yanwei was actually cleaved in half.
The person landed heavily on the ground, and the stone slabs on the ground shattered into pieces.
With a wave of his hand, Hu Yanwei, who had fallen from the sky, discovered that a tall figure with short hair was blocking his path.
The person turned around and stared at Hu Yanwei, "Are you alright?"
Hu Yanwei froze for a moment, then immediately became overjoyed. "Why are you here?"
The newcomer was none other than Yuan Gang. Initially, he was planning to come with the reinforcements of the Qin army, but unexpectedly, the reinforcements received news from their scouts that the capital city had been breached.
Yuan Gang was anxious. He knew that he wouldn't be of much use in the capital city on his own, but he still braced himself and hurried over on his flying mount.
The reinforcements also advised him not to, but they couldn't stop him.
As soon as he arrived in the sky above the capital city, he saw the black smoke rising from the palace and immediately rushed over.
He saw that this place was being besieged for the last time, so he rushed over to check it out. He didn't expect to bump into Hu Yanwei, and actually saved Hu Yanwei's life at the last moment. Otherwise, with Hu Yanwei's strength, that cultivator would have been dead for sure.
"I'm here to save you!" Yuan Gang's reply was short. Seeing another cultivator rushing over, he quickly slashed out with the blade in his hand, shattering the sharp sword qi that came at him. When the other party got close, he suddenly slashed out with his blade like a waterfall.
"Ah!" A blood-curdling scream echoed, and the newcomer was once again cleaved in half by his blade.
"Who is this?" Chang Linxian, the head of the Spirit Void Manor, asked in shock. It was understandable that a disciple was killed before, but the person who just rushed over was a high-level Golden Core disciple of the Spirit Void Manor, and yet he was killed with a single slash. It was somewhat unbelievable.
What shocked him even more was that his Dharma Eyes didn't see any signs of the other party using magic power.
The deterrent force of that slash was too great, and the cultivators who were about to rush over were so scared that they didn't dare to get close.
Hu Yanwei was also very excited. Hearing that he was here to save him, and seeing that this person killed cultivators as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, he was even more excited. "Brother, I knew I didn't choose the wrong person. Oh right, I heard that you've become the Devil Sect's Holy Son, how many cultivators did you bring? "
Yuan Gang protected him, and at the same time, he replied, "I didn't bring anyone. The Devil Sect won't get involved in this matter. It's just me."
"What?" Hu Yanwei was speechless. He was still counting on this person to bring people to help him break out of the encirclement. Just one person, facing thousands of soldiers and horses, what the hell!
Yuan Gang, who was vigilant of the surroundings, said in a deep voice, "We can't stay here for long. Follow me closely, I'll bring you out of here!"
"My wife and father-in-law the emperor are still inside, can you bring the three of us out?" Hu Yanwei asked eagerly, hoping.
Yuan Gang quickly turned around, and only then did he realize that there was actually someone else in the blazing flame hall. He naturally knew Hao Qingqing. At this moment, her dancing posture looked especially poignant and beautiful amidst the dancing flames.
It was only today that he found out that this woman could actually dance, and that she could dance so beautifully.
He could see the tears in Hao Qingqing's eyes, and an image instantly flashed in his mind. That woman looked up at him proudly and said, "Yuan Gang, I like you!"
Hao Qingqing also recognized him, and almost the same image flashed in her mind. Her teary eyes carried a bit of a sad smile.
She didn't expect to see this man again at this time. In such a dangerous time, there was still someone who was willing to stand up for her.
Back then, she seemed to have liked this man very much. At night, when she tossed and turned in bed, she would secretly miss him and find it hard to sleep.
Thinking back to her inexperienced confession back then, and looking at him now, she could only say that she didn't choose the wrong person when she mustered up the courage to confess. She also didn't choose the wrong person.
At this moment, she, who had been troubled by all kinds of negative postpartum emotions, suddenly smiled brightly like a pear blossom in the rain. She realized that life wasn't always so gloomy. There was still brilliance and beauty. Her dancing posture in the dancing sparks also became more and more romantic.
To some people, Yuan Gang's behavior was stupid, but to everyone who was helped by him, they could feel the brilliance and beauty of human nature!
Sitting on the throne, Hao Yuntu also saw Yuan Gang. He didn't know who this person who suddenly appeared was, but he could tell that he was helping and knew Hu Yanwei.
Yuan Gang's gaze swept over the two people in the hall, and he felt the seriousness of the situation. It was impossible for him to break out of the encirclement with three people alone. In addition, there were so many cultivators in the rebel army. Not to mention three people, he might not even be able to deal with the encirclement from all directions.
To put it bluntly, he might not even be able to break out of the encirclement by himself. He knew that it was dangerous, but he still charged in. He was only relying on his courage and a clear conscience!
But what could he do? There was no need to talk about the Emperor of Qi, but he couldn't let Hu Yanwei abandon his wife, could he?
"Kill!" A group of rebel soldiers roared and rushed forward, surrounding him with their swords and spears.
Yuan Gang, who suddenly turned his head, waved his arm, causing Hu Yanwei to stagger backward and crash into the wall. The saber in his hand flashed and slashed continuously.
Amidst the screams, the swords and spears that stabbed at him from all directions couldn't pierce his body. Yuan Gang spun his long saber and slashed. Blood splattered everywhere, and a group of rebel soldiers fell around him. It was truly like cutting melons and vegetables.
The imperial guards were almost completely wiped out, and the rebel soldiers continued to rush forward like a tide. Yuan Gang stood in front of the hall, slashing wildly with his saber. Those who got close died!
Hu Yanwei waved his sword and killed randomly, taking down a few people. He did have some martial arts.
The group of rebel soldiers were finally killed to the point that they didn't dare to move forward anymore. Yuan Gang, who was already covered in blood, waved his saber, scaring the rebel soldiers who had climbed up the stairs and causing them to retreat in panic.
At the bottom of the stairs, a group of archers rushed forward and shouted, "Fire!" Arrows poured down like rain.
Yuan Gang waved his saber repeatedly, only protecting his eyes and other vital points. The arrows hit his body and fell to the ground. He suddenly felt that something was wrong and turned around, only to find that Hu Yanwei had blood coming out of his mouth and nose. He had already been shot like a hedgehog.
He used all his strength to block in front of Hu Yanwei. In the chaos, he didn't pay attention to the archers on the left and right flanks.
This was a common situation when surrounded by a chaotic army. The attacks were all-pervasive, making it impossible to guard against.
In such a situation, if he didn't leave quickly, he would be courting death. However, facing three people, Yuan Gang couldn't think of a good way to deal with them.
Yuan Gang turned around and rushed forward, his back facing the flying arrows. He shielded Hu Yanwei who had fallen to the ground. Seeing Hu Yanwei's injuries, he knew that he wouldn't be able to survive.
When Hao Qingqing, who was dancing in the hall, saw her husband fall, she was already crying her eyes out.
Hu Yanwei, who was choking on blood, laughed bitterly and gasped for breath. "It hurts! It hurts … it hurts so much! Brother, I don't want to end up like this, and I don't want to be successful. However, my father always uses the family law to punish me, forcing me to improve. It's inevitable for a general to die in battle. I've known this since I was young, but I can't avoid it. I never dreamed that one day I would become the commander of the Qi Kingdom's Imperial Guards. What kind of crap is this? "
He raised his hand and grabbed Yuan Gang's clothes, crying. "I don't want to be a f * cking hero. I'm scared too. I have the chance to run, but my eldest brother and second brother are heroes. If I run, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation they earned with their lives. Who doesn't want to live? But I want to run, but I don't dare to.
I'm in a dilemma! "Inside the hall, Hao Qingqing suddenly cried and shouted," Idiot, I'll marry you in my next life! "
"Don't! Marrying you would bring me eight lifetimes of bad luck. In my next life, I'll hide as far as I can from you … "Hu Yanwei's voice gradually weakened. He loosened his grip on Yuan Gang's clothes. Suddenly, he shook his head forcefully and said while choking on blood," The Emperor is courting death. I'll use my life to accompany him. My Huyan Family can face him. We can ignore it. Save … my child's mother … Take my wife away … "His head tilted to the side and he stopped breathing.
Under such a concentrated barrage of arrows, that person was actually still holding on. The cultivators outside were all shocked. What kind of person was this?
Yuan Gang, whose eyes were red, suddenly raised his head and looked at Hao Qingqing, who was sobbing and dancing amidst the dancing sparks. He suddenly got up and rushed in.
However, at this moment, a huge beam covered in raging flames smashed down. He slashed it with his saber, but it was still too late to save her.
The roof under the continuous barrage of arrows seemed to be unable to bear the heavy burden. At this moment, it completely collapsed with a loud bang, burying the person on the throne who was dancing with tears and laughter in the hall.
The entire hall collapsed, and the barrage of arrows also stopped.
The rebel soldiers looked at the burning hall. After the dust settled, they could see the reflection of the saber in the flames. A figure holding a saber stood quietly in front of the raging sea of fire.
