The way back was not much better than when we came here. The demons were still going one after another, and the number was astonishing. Fortunately, with Lao Lao and Zhang Lao there, they were not afraid of these demons.
On the other hand, Cheng Yifan, a newly promoted 'master', failed to make any outstanding contributions. It was because his previous cultivation was too low, the martial skills he could practice were too few, and his power was too low.
As the saying goes, when books are used, they will hate less, and this martial skill will not be enough until it is used. However, Lao Lao is very interested in Cheng Yifan. With such a peerless genius with a flawless body, coupled with the subduing of the top-level alien fire, he has achieved twice the result with half the effort. When he goes back, he must be brought back. Accepted as an apprentice, teach well!
Everyone just thought it was because of the large number of wild monsters, and they wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, but they didn't take this situation to heart.
After a few days of work, they finally returned to Tianhong Academy. Lao Lao asked everyone to go back to rest, leaving Cheng Yifan alone. He wanted to talk to him about accepting apprentices. Naturally, Gu Jingchen also had the cheek to stay. After coming down, Luo Lao knew that they had a good relationship, so he acquiesced.
Just as soon as the three of them entered the martial arts hall, someone rushed to report that it was Wuma who wanted to see him urgently.
"What's the matter?" Luo Lao asked with a frown.
Wuma was the person in charge of the disciples in the outer courtyard, and should not have come to the inner courtyard at will. Now that they have just returned, Wuma can't wait to come to ask for an interview. Something must have happened.
"Let him come over."
"Luo Lao!" Wuma's unsmiling face showed a look of horror for the first time, "We received the news of Qixia's request for help two days ago, and a large number of demons appeared on their border. A signal for help was sent to all countries, and at the same time, the Lord Chenhui also found out that Chenhui's state-owned border demon had changed."
Hearing this, Lao Lao's expression couldn't help but change greatly. He remembered that there were more monsters on the way back than when he went, "Could it be...?"
Wuma only felt an unusually bitter taste in her throat, "Maybe...shòucháo arrived early..."
shòucháo!
Cheng Yifan also remembered the shòucháo that He Haoqian once mentioned to him. Not long ago, there was news that the trace of the eighth-level demon shòu had been found, and that was the reason why He Haoqian and the others assembled to establish the Rainbow Academy.
They don't know when the next shòucháo will come, but there is obviously not much time left for them, it may be two years, it may be a year, and it may be faster...
I just never thought it would be so fast!
"You said earlier that Qixia asked for help, and there was a shòucháo on the border? Do you know the exact direction?" Gu Jingchen asked Wuma.
Only then did Wuma notice that there were two more disciples here. She asked Lao Lao with her eyes. After seeing Luo Lao nodded, she replied, "I heard that it is in the area of Qingjiang City."
Cheng Yifan was stunned when he heard it. Qingjiang City is not far from Qingshan City, about three or five hundred miles away. There are his family members, his parents, his brothers, his sister, his friends...
"I want to go back! I have to go back!" Cheng Yifan couldn't imagine that Qixia Country was not a country, and the newly enthroned lord was not a scheming country. This kind of shòucháo that can only be encountered once in hundreds of years, Qixia Country How can it be sustained? If Qingjiang City is broken, then Qingshan City will inevitably suffer!
"Don't get excited." Luo Lao hurriedly advised, "I know that you are all from Qixia Country, and I understand your desire to go back. We Tianhong Academy would have sent people to increase the number of members, otherwise this Tianhong Academy would also be There is no need for it to be established. It’s just that you two can’t go back, two fists can’t beat four hands, that’s a shòucháo composed of thousands of head demons!”
After listening to Luo Lao's words, Cheng Yifan finally calmed down and expressed his willingness to listen to Luo Lao's arrangement.
"Now your cultivation has also improved. You and Gu Jingchen are the main force of the reinforcements, but you should also understand what you lack."
"Yes..." Cheng Yifan is of course aware of his own shortcomings. He has too little martial arts practice, and there are too few tricks that he can use to attack. He can't deal with the thousands of monsters just by relying on spirit plants and spirit medicine. shòu's.
"You have now absorbed a different kind of fire. The power of this flame is beyond your imagination. If you want, I can teach you the flame knife technique and the fire control technique."
"I do! Of course I do! Thank you Luo Lao!" Cheng Yifan was naturally happy, but he quickly lost his mind, "But... there is no time..."
"Although time is tight, but now you have a flawless body, and your cultivation base has reached the realm of Qi and martial arts, you will get twice the result with half the effort when you practice the exercises. Ordinary people need several months or years to achieve the level, you only need ten days. Maybe it can be achieved." Luo Lao smiled and patted his shoulder, "You have to have confidence in yourself!"
"Thank you for teaching Luo Lao! I will definitely study hard!" Cheng Yifan immediately made up his mind that he would definitely learn these martial skills and exercises as quickly as possible, return to Qixia Country as soon as possible, and protect Qingshan City!
Chapter 222 Qingjiang City Destroyed
Qingshan City, the City Lord's Mansion.
The Sifang Zongzong advocated that Wen Yu was discussing with the lord of Qingshan City and the head of the escort group sent by the lord of Qixia Kingdom on how to deal with shòucháo next.
Suddenly, there was a loud hoof sound from outside the city lord's mansion, and someone was riding a cloud shòu rushing at an extremely fast speed. This person was dressed in black and had a golden belt around his waist, which showed that he was The identity of the messenger. Therefore, when the guards at the gate of the city saw him appearing riding a cloud, they let him into the city without the slightest hindrance.
"Quick! Emergency battle report!" After the man galloped to the gate of the city lord's mansion, he immediately turned over and dismounted, feeling anxious.
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion did not dare to be slighted, and immediately welcomed him into the mansion.
"Lord City Lord, there is an emergency report."
"Let him in!" The Castle Lord of Qingshan City said loudly immediately.
The city lord of Qingshan City, Wei Rong, was a middle-aged man who was nearly half a hundred years old. He was in the middle and late stages of Qiwu realm. He was considered a master in Qingshan City.
Dressed in military uniform, the stern head of the escort team also stood up immediately. If Cheng Yifan and the others were here, they would have been able to recognize at a glance that this person was their 'old acquaintance' Hu Wei.
"Lord City Lord, Qingjiang City has been broken, the demons have already rushed into the city, wantonly nüè, the city owner of Qingjiang City has set fire to the city, hoping to temporarily stop these demons, the survivors of Qingjiang City are fleeing to our Qingshan City... "..." the messenger said panting half-knelt on the ground.
Everyone's expressions changed greatly when they heard the words. Zhang Wenyu stood up directly and cupped his hands towards the city lord Wei Rong, "Please allow me to lead the disciples of the Sifang Sect to fight!"
Wei Rong naturally would not have any opinion, and even Hu Wei looked at Zhang Wenyu with a grateful expression and said, "Thank you Sifang Sect for extending a helping hand. , will arrive soon."
As we all know, the first group of warriors who come into contact with shòucháo is the most dangerous group. Zhang Wenyu's willingness to lend a helping hand at such a time of crisis is truly righteous.
"It's a prize, I'm a native of Qingshan City, and my Sifang Sect has been in Qingshan City for more than 100 years, not to mention that many of my sect disciples are also from Qingshan City. It is also my responsibility to protect Qingshan City. ."
"Zhang Zongzhu's righteousness! When shòucháo recedes, I will definitely report this to the lord of the country. Your profound and righteousness will not be forgotten by my Qixia Kingdom." Hu Wei cupped his hands.
Zhang Wenyu waved her hand, got up and left.
After Zhang Wenyu left, Wei Rong took a deep breath and turned to look at Hu Wei, "Master Hu, when do you think the reinforcements will arrive?"
"The country lord is already mobilizing people at the fastest speed. The first batch of reinforcements will arrive tomorrow. As long as we can support tonight, we will be safe!"
Wei Rong did not relax when he heard the words, but sighed heavily, "You have to support tonight..."
"There are only a few small families in Qingjiang City, and they all supported them for two days. There are Sifang Sect in Qingshan City, as well as my sharp guards. There should be no problem in supporting them for a day."
Wei Rong finally calmed down a little, exhaled a turbid breath, and looked at the messenger, "What's the scale of shòucháo? Did you see it?"
"This subordinate has never seen it..." The man bowed his head in shame, but he didn't dare to get too close, "But I asked some civilians who escaped, and they said there were at least four or five thousand head monsters. Most of the demons are at the third or fourth level, they were able to resist at first, but then the fifth and sixth level demons appeared..."
"The fifth and sixth level demons!" Wei Rong's heart lifted up again after he had just put it down.
"As long as the number is not too many, we still have the strength to fight!" Hu Wei said calmly, "This time, the warriors I brought are all sharp and sharp, and I believe that there are also many masters in the Sifang School. The city owner doesn't need to worry too much."
Wei Rong nodded, "It's time for me to go out and have a look. An emergency summoning order has been issued before, and all the Qingshan City hunting groups will join the defense this time. It should be here now."
"Okay, Lord City Lord, please."
The two left the City Lord's Mansion and went to the city wall.
When they came to the city wall, a large number of warriors had gathered at the city gate, all fully armed. They were all members of the city's hunting group. There were their parents and children in this city, and they could not tolerate the slightest retreat. , they will do their best to protect Qingshan City.
Among them, Zhang Wenyu and the disciples of the Sifang Sect wore uniforms that stood out. They all stood on the city wall and looked into the distance.
"Come on." Zhang Wenyu's voice was deep.
I saw that there were many people who described láng embarrassment, either carrying or carrying packages, dragging their families and mouths towards Qingshan City. Obviously, they were the survivors who fled from Qingjiang City.
"Open the city gate! Quickly open the city gate!" Zhang Wenyu could see clearly that behind these people, billowing smoke appeared, indicating that the demons were chasing behind these people.
The guards guarding the city knew what kind of tough battle they were about to face. They also knew Zhang Wenyu's identity. They immediately opened the city gate to welcome those fleeing. There are even many brave warriors who have already rushed out to meet them.
As soon as these people entered the city, they fell to the ground with weak legs. No one laughed at them. They all knew how difficult it was for these people. If the city owner of Qingjiang set fire to the city in the end, blocking the way of the demon, I'm afraid they are already dead.
These fleeing people are ordinary civilians, and their cultivation bases are not high. Even their bodies can't stand it without stopping. And the high-level warriors have all left behind, and now their life and death are uncertain, and facing such a terrifying number of monsters, don't know how many people will be able to escape and ascend to heaven.
The civilians of Qingshan City spontaneously brought these people to the city to rest, leaving the battlefield to the more combative warriors.
"How is the arrow preparation?" Hu Wei asked.
Bow and arrow, as a weapon for long-range attack, is the best attack weapon for warriors above the Tongmai realm who can release their true energy. And what Hu Wei brought were all the spirits in the escort regiment, and using bows and arrows could kill more demons at the least cost.
"It's ready!" Wei Rong nodded towards the city guards, and someone pushed forward with a cart of arrows.
"Everyone take up their weapons, go up the city wall and prepare to attack!"
