Sparks danced, and nothing could be seen. There was only a mountain of debris that emitted a dazzling light.
The temperature of the fire was very high. Standing in front of the sea of fire was no different from being roasted.
His skin and flesh were aching, and his clothes and hair were beginning to curl. Yuan Gang was still silent. He had not been able to complete what Hu Yanwei had entrusted to him before he died.
His clothes were already riddled with holes, torn and tattered, and there were many holes in them from the arrows.
After a long time, Yuan Gang silently turned around and walked back to Hu Yanwei's corpse. He stared at it for a while, then with a swish, the saber in his hand pierced through the stone and into the ground.
He squatted on the ground and pulled out the arrows from Hu Yanwei's body. He carried the corpse horizontally, turned around, and walked towards the sea of fire.
The rebel soldiers and cultivators outside watched this scene quietly, not knowing what this person was going to do.
The palace had already fallen, and the last of the palace's guards had already been annihilated by them. They were no longer in a hurry.
Yuan Gang stopped in front of the sea of fire. He stared at the bearded, blood-stained face for a while, then suddenly threw Hu Yanwei's corpse into the sea of fire.
There was a practice of picking up corpses to show off in battle. He did not want Hu Yanwei's corpse to be humiliated and used again, so he sent it into the sea of fire to reunite with Hao Qingqing.
Yuan Gang did not look at the scene of the corpse being annihilated in the charcoal fire. He turned around and walked back to the saber that was stuck in the ground. He grabbed the hilt of the saber and pulled it out. He walked to the edge of the steps and stood still. His gaze swept across the rebel soldiers.
The head of the Spirit Void Manor, Chang Linxian, suddenly shouted, "Who are you? Tell me your name!"
Yuan Gang did not answer. His gaze locked onto the general under the "Gu" flag and locked onto Gu Yuanda. Suddenly, he leaped out and rushed forward.
The gathered rebel soldiers and cultivators naturally could not sit back and watch. They had no choice but to stop him.
"Ah …"
Screams rang out, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. Yuan Gang charged through the crowd with a flash of his saber. No one could stop him.
Seeing Yuan Gang rush over, the group under the commander's flag immediately realized that he was coming for Gu Yuanda.
As expected, Yuan Gang, who had gotten close, suddenly shot up and swung his saber in the direction of the commander's flag.
The Sect Masters of the three great sects of Yuan Wei Country immediately reacted. They grabbed Gu Yuanda and soared into the sky from the back of their horses, drifting away.
Yuan Gang did not have the ability to fly through the sky. Thus, he continued to descend towards a predetermined location. The moment he landed, he immediately engaged in a fierce battle with a group of cultivators.
The group of cultivators had seen how ferocious his attacks were. If they didn't fight him head-on, they would have to fight him.
On the other hand, the Sect Masters of the original Wei Country's three great sects had already escorted Gu Yuanda to the top of the inner city's watchtower.
Yuan Gang didn't care. He forced his way out of the entanglement and charged toward the gate tower. When he got close, he shot toward the top of the gate tower like a cannon.
However, before he could arrive, a few people had already protected Gu Yuanda and soared into the sky. The large flying beasts that were patrolling in the sky were summoned and took them into the sky.
Yuan Gang, who had landed on the watchtower, raised his head to look at Gu Yuanda in the sky. His heart was filled with grief and indignation, but he had nowhere to vent it. He waved his saber and pointed at Gu Yuanda, shouting furiously, "Gu Yuanda!"
The patrolling flying beasts in the sky seemed to have lost control in an instant. They started to fly around chaotically, and their riders hurriedly shook their finger bells to stabilize them.
At this moment, a group of old men landed on the watchtower and surrounded Yuan Gang. Some of them were even holding metal chains in their hands. They were the Grand Supreme Elders of the three great sects of Yuan Wei Country.
Seeing that Yuan Gang was difficult to deal with, the group of old men personally made their move.
Yuan Gang immediately raised his saber and looked around. He turned around and slashed with his saber, shattering a palm strike. Then, he charged toward another person. The other person quickly retreated.
A few metal chains flew toward him. Yuan Gang twisted his body and slashed with his saber. Clanging sounds rang out, and sparks flew in all directions.
However, faced with the encirclement, and the other party not fighting him head-on, he didn't have time to worry about his surroundings. Soon, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
One of them invoked his arts to control the metal chains to entangle Yuan Gang's legs. He suddenly exerted force and flipped Yuan Gang over, dragging him back rapidly.
Yuan Gang flipped over and slashed with his saber. With a clang, the metal chains broke.
However, this hasty action to save himself gave his opponent an opportunity to take advantage of him. Both his wrists were entangled by a metal chain at almost the same time.
Two old men immediately pulled on a metal chain each and pulled Yuan Gang's arms apart.
Yuan Gang jumped up from the ground and pulled back his arms forcefully. Instantly, the two old men who were frantically trying to pull him back were dragged back with a loud rumble.
Two more Grand Supreme Elders of the three sects immediately went up to help pull the metal chains. Only then did they gradually pull Yuan Gang's arms apart.
One of the old men who was pulling with all his might exclaimed, "This guy has such great brute strength!"
It was hard not to be surprised. Which one of these old men wasn't at the peak of the Golden Core Realm? Two of them were actually weaker than one person's brute strength in a contest of arts. Moreover, three people on each side were needed to restrain this person. From this, it could be seen how exaggerated this person's strength was.
It was no wonder that he could easily kill a Golden Core Realm cultivator with a single slash.
"I want to see how thick your skin and flesh are!" An old man shouted coldly and soared into the sky. A sword light was like a waterfall as he slashed at Yuan Gang's head with all his might.
Yuan Gang, who was being pulled by the forces on both sides, could not avoid it. "Ah!" In a moment of desperation, he roared. Blue veins popped up on his body as he used all his strength to suddenly twist his body.
The six people who were pulling him from both sides were actually shaken.
Yuan Gang, who was trying his best to dodge, avoided the waterfall of sword light coming down from above and avoided being hit in his vital parts. However, his stretched arms could not be avoided.
One of his arms splattered with blood. The sword light cut down and cut off one of his arms. The severed arm that was holding the saber was pulled away by one of the metal chains.
"Ugh …" Yuan Gang, who was groaning in pain, kicked the old man who had cut off his arm. The kick sent the old man who had cut off his arm flying with blood spurting out.
Yuan Gang also took advantage of the situation to crash to one side. While he was free from the control of the other side, he shot out like a cannon and rammed his body against the three people who were pulling him from the other side.
The three people who were pulling the metal chains leaped into the air at the same time and flew over Yuan Gang's head. The three of them landed on the ground and cast their arts at the same time, pulling Yuan Gang, who had not yet stabilized himself, to the ground again. The sound of metal chains rang out. The three people who had pulled away the severed arm flung it away and dashed past Yuan Gang. Once again, they threw the metal chains to entangle Yuan Gang's legs.
One side pulled on the arm, while the other side pulled on the leg. Once again, they pulled Yuan Gang from both sides and pulled him horizontally off the ground.
Yuan Gang's severed shoulder was bleeding profusely.
The old man who had left choking on blood flew back again and shouted, "Let's see where you can hide now!"
Once again, he slashed down with his sword. The waterfall of sword light whistled down and slashed at Yuan Gang's waist. It was obvious that he wanted to cut him in half.
Right at this moment, a phantom flashed by. Before anyone could react, the old man who was slashing down with his sword was sent flying with a "peng" sound. He flew out like a meteor and crashed into the city gate tower with a loud bang.
The people who were being dragged were shocked. The heads of the three sects who were watching from the sky were also shocked. They did not see where this person had come from.
The person who came seemed to be a small soldier in the rebel army. His face was covered with a piece of cloth under his helmet. He moved very quickly and grabbed one end of the metal chain. With a shake, the metal chain that was entangled around Yuan Gang's wrist automatically untangled.
The small soldier grabbed Yuan Gang's belt and lifted him up. He rushed towards the three people who were dragging him on the other side.
He didn't collide with the three of them. Instead, he suddenly picked up Yuan Gang and soared into the air, stepping on the metal chain. With just a tap of his foot, the metal chain that was wrapped around Yuan Gang's legs automatically untangled itself.
The small soldier carried Yuan Gang and flew away. He landed on the city tower and was far away in a few leaps. The cultivators who had rushed over to stop him were all sent flying. No one could stop him.
The Supreme Elders of the three sects on the city tower watched him leave. They were bewildered and looked at each other from time to time. This short-haired man was already very strange. Who would have thought that a strange expert would appear and be able to easily rescue people from their hands? It would not be an exaggeration to say that his strength was unfathomable.
"Should we chase after him?" Someone looked up at the flying beast mount in the sky and asked.
The old man at the side replied, "With his strength, can we stop him if we chase after him?"
"Cough, cough …" A crashing sound came from the room in the city tower, accompanied by coughing.
Immediately, someone dashed over to check. He saw the Supreme Elder of the same sect struggling to support himself against the wall. He tried to stand up but fell down again. He coughed up blood from time to time.
He immediately went forward to support him. "Senior Brother, how are you?"
After the person coughing blood saw who it was, he shook his dazed head hard and panted. "The strength of the person who came is not something we can block. Retreat quickly!"
He had suffered a blow. He could not figure out the strength of the other party, but he knew the severity of the blow.
The person supporting him said, "Senior Brother, don't worry. The other party has already left."
…
In the small courtyard, Hao Zhen raised his head and looked in the direction of the rising smoke pillar. He murmured, "It's the direction of the imperial palace. The imperial palace has been captured by the rebel army …"
Shao Liuer walked to his side. She knew what he was worried about and comforted him. "Prince, don't worry. The three major sects should have already evacuated with His Majesty and the others."
Hao Zhen shook his head slightly. "There are still many people who can't leave."
Shao Liuer could understand. The cultivators guarding the capital city couldn't take everyone away. It was easy to imagine what would happen to the concubines in the palace if they fell into the hands of the rebel army.
Guo Man returned from outside. She smiled and nodded at the two of them.
Hao Zhen turned around and shouted, "Miss Guo, how is the situation in the city?"
Guo Man stopped and sighed. "The battle is over. The rebel army has completely occupied the capital city. They are doing the last bit of cleaning up." After she finished speaking, she left. She didn't want to say anything else as she was afraid that it would make Hao Zhen feel uncomfortable.
Hao Zhen looked in the direction of the rising smoke pillar again and felt lost. "How could this be? How could such a big country like Qi become like this in the blink of an eye? "
After a while, the Ghost Doctor came out with her two disciples, Wu Xin and Wu Xiang.
Guo Man was sent to contact the people from the Bank of the World in Qi Capital. No matter how the battle went, no one from the Bank of the World would dare to touch them.
Guo Man found the people from the Dayuan Sacred Land in the bank and secretly told the Ghost Doctor that she was here on the orders of the Primordial Saint Venerable. She asked him to contact the rebel army to cooperate.
This was also the instructions of the Primordial Saint Venerable. They were to travel everywhere and look for the people from the bank when they needed help. After all, the bank was basically in every city in the world.
Since they were here on the orders of the Primordial Saint Venerable, they didn't dare to delay. They immediately found the important members of the rebel army and secretly communicated with them. They asked them to help secretly and quickly arrange things so that it would be easier for the Ghost Doctor to act.
