Chapter 5199 Gap!
"City Lord Qingyun, I'm a little uneasy now. I think we are really going to evacuate. It's obviously impossible for the Ghost King to give up attacking the city.
He seems to be gathering the power of all the ghost cultivators now. If he attacks like this, even if this Samadhi True Fire Wall is powerful, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to resist it!
Does Qingyun City Lord have other means to ensure the safety of everyone in the city?" Nanwu City Lord also became extremely worried.
The Ghost King is obviously going to cause trouble. If they don't do something, they may regret it later and it will be too late.
"Let's take a look first and then talk about it. This is my last trump card. If this Ghost King can really break through the Samadhi True Fire Wall, then we can only fight with them!" Qingyun City Lord kept his eyes on the one who was still gathering.
The ghostly ghost king.
"Fight with them? There are so many people in the city, can we kill them? And there are still hundreds of thousands of ghost cultivators. By then the ghost cultivators will definitely kill people everywhere in the city and create chaos. Let's just kill them."
If they are destroyed, I'm afraid the losses will be huge." The Lord of Nanwu City said with some worry.
Although there is still the Samadhi True Fire Wall protecting them, he does not feel that they are safe now. Instead, he feels that he is trapped in the city and can only wait for the army of ghost cultivators to come in. This is not a good thing.
"Nanwu City Lord need not worry about this. If they want to destroy all the Samadhi True Fire Walls in Qingyun City at once, it will definitely be impossible.
Even this ghost king can only break a gap in the Samadhi True Fire Wall.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for all the hundreds of thousands of ghost cultivators to rush into the city at once.
And we just took advantage of this opportunity to kill all the ghost cultivators who rushed out first.
At this time, we need the two cities to unite and cooperate. As long as the two of us can cooperate sincerely and quickly eliminate all the ghost cultivators that rush into the city, then naturally there will be nothing to fear from this army of hundreds of thousands of ghost cultivators." Qingyun
The city lord said.
"Well, what Lord Qingyun said does make some sense, but I think it is not only meaningless for the people in the city to stay in the city, but it may also hinder us from clearing out the ghost cultivators who have entered the city.
How about City Lord Qingyun opening the city gate now to let ordinary people out of the city, leaving only the monks from our two cities and the monks who voluntarily stay in the city to kill the enemy?" City Lord Nanwu thought for a while and said.
In fact, this has always been what he was worried about.
He abandoned the city and fled in the first place just so that the people in his city could survive.
If he was going to die in Qingyun City in the end, what was the point of doing what he did in the first place?
Because he hopes that after the ghost cultivator army is destroyed, his city residents can return to Nanwu City.
If all these people die, then when he returns to Nanwucheng, it will be difficult for Nanwucheng to regain its former prosperity.
"There is no way to do this now. Even if the city gate is opened at this time, no one in the city can get out." But Qingyun City Lord shook his head and said.
"Why?" This made Lord Nanwu confused.
As long as Lord Qingyun is willing to open the city gate, how can there be any reason why the people in the city can't get out of the city?
"The Lord of Nanwu City does not know that this Samadhi True Fire Wall is somewhat different from the previous city protection formation. If you just activate the city protection formation and open the city gate, people in the city can indeed leave the city.
Because most of the city defense formations can be exited but not entered.
But once the Samadhi True Fire Wall is opened, they cannot get out or enter. Unless they have the ability to pass through the Samadhi True Fire Wall.
Now the Samadhi True Fire Wall is protecting our safety. If I turn off the Samadhi True Fire Wall, the people in the city can go out, but the ghost cultivator army can also directly enter the city!" Qingyun City Lord explained.
"So that's the case, but if that's the case, the people in the city will be in danger. If we can't stop these ghost cultivators, won't they all die in the city?" The Lord of Nanwu City suddenly realized, but this made him even more worried.
"That's not the case. If the Samadhi True Fire Wall really collapses, wouldn't the people in the city be able to flee for their lives?" said the Lord Qingyun.
"But at that time, we could no longer control the situation in the city. Although the people could escape from the city, how many people could escape from the city?"
"There is nothing we can do about it. Sometimes we have to take a gamble. I don't think I need to tell you the consequences of abandoning the city. The Lord of Nanwu City knows it very well.
Do you really think that after you have protected these people, when you return to Nanwucheng, will these people come back to be your citizens?
Don't be delusional. As long as you have enough strength to ensure the safety of Nanwu City, even if these city residents never come back, you can still attract more city residents.
But once these citizens in the city are allowed to escape, I can tell you with certainty that most of them will not be able to come back.
Therefore, the Lord of Nanwu City should not think so much. He should be decisive when it is time to be decisive. There is no way to develop Nanwu City by being indecisive.
As long as we kill these ghost cultivators here, you can quickly return to Nanwu City and revive the glory of Nanwu City. Why bother to escape again and again?" City Lord Qingyun said to him with a serious face.
.
City Lord Nanwu fell silent, City Lord Qingyun's words clearly hurt his heart.
Because these words are very realistic and very reasonable.
He also knew that even if he protected these citizens, they might not return after the ghost cultivator army was destroyed.
It's just that he thinks that those who go back are better than those who don't go back.
After all, it is actually very difficult to attract other people to come to the city and become permanent residents.
What Qingyun City Lord said is very simple. As long as it is strong enough, it can attract more city residents, but what is actually considered strong enough?
Unless he, the Lord of Nanwu City, is well-known and already a top master in the world of cultivation, then that's pretty much it.
If this were not the case, Lord Qingyun would not have closed the city gates from the beginning and prevented the people from leaving the city.
In fact, he himself had to make this decision precisely because he had no way to attract more city residents.
But the premise of this decision is that they can destroy the army of ghost cultivators.
If they are unable to destroy this army of ghost cultivators, then their losses will reach their limit, and almost all the citizens of the two cities will be annihilated here.
boom!
However, a sudden loud noise interrupted Nanwu City Lord's contemplation and woke him up.
"Damn it! Everyone listens to the order and blocks the gap. The ghost warriors come in and kill one by one." Qingyun City Lord's face changed drastically and he shouted angrily.
It turned out that what they just said had really come true. After the ghost king gathered enough ghost energy, he threw it towards the Samadhi True Fire Wall, and a big gap really exploded.
Now he really couldn't be confident anymore.
Although he told Nanwu City Lord the same thing, in his heart, he still had some confidence in this Samadhi True Fire Wall.
He felt that it was not that simple for the Ghost King to create a gap. At least it would have to go through several strong attacks before a gap might appear.
But he did underestimate the ghost king's methods. The Samadhi True Fire Wall was actually broken open by him with one blow.
Fortunately, although there was a gap, it was within his expectation.
If this blow directly breaks the entire Samadhi True Fire Wall, it will really be over.
"Quick, all the soldiers in Nanwu City block the gap together, and the ghost cultivators must not be allowed to rush into the city!" Seeing this, the Lord of Nanwu City also ordered the soldiers he had prepared long ago.
Just when the ghost warriors rushed toward the gap under the orders of the Ghost King, soldiers from the two cities also rushed toward the gap immediately.
"Kill!" Seeing that ghost warriors rushed into the city through the gap soon, the soldiers in the city were also anxious.
The more ghost cultivators come in, the greater the pressure will be on them, and their own lives will be under greater threat.
If these ghost cultivators came in one by one, it would be easy for them to kill one by one, and there would be no danger at all.
But the reality is definitely not like this. After all, the gap is quite big, and the first batch of at least four to five hundred ghost cultivators rushed in.
But for these soldiers, the most important thing is to block the gap first.
Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of troops would just rush in through the gap in a steady stream.
So some of the soldiers went to surround and kill the ghost cultivators who were rushing over, while other soldiers took the opportunity to cut off the gap so that no more ghost cultivators could rush in.
However, these ghost cultivators are indeed different from human monks. Since they are a kind of soul body, it is not that simple to kill them.
If it weren't for the fact that they had already known that they were going to deal with ghost cultivators and had prepared corresponding means, there would really be no way to kill them.
I saw that the person who took the lead to rush out basically had a magic weapon with a Yang attribute in his hand, or a talisman, etc.
These ghost cultivators were surrounded by so many humans, and with no way to break out, they were all killed in the end.
However, these ghost cultivators are really ruthless. They are so cruel in front of human cultivators, and they have no regard for their own life or death.
So although these four to five hundred ghost cultivators were killed, some government soldiers were also killed by these ghost cultivators.
At this time, these soldiers, especially those in Qingyun City, saw the ferocity of ghost cultivators for the first time.
Even though everyone has prepared the equipment and means to deal with ghost cultivators, if you actually fight against these vicious ghost cultivators, even if you have the equipment in hand, you may not be able to save your life, so you still have to be extremely careful.
Especially the soldiers who were blocking the gap at this time felt it was very difficult.
Although they held the gap, the ghost cultivators outside the city were still frantically attacking the gap, and the force of the attack became more and more fierce.
And under every attack, the soldiers here will also sacrifice something.
