Looking at the smoke filling the sky and the fall of a Dao-level clone, everyone present looked pale and their eyes were full of despair. Such an enemy was simply not something they could resist.
Nangong Yan stood on the damaged city gate, her eyes red, and she kept calling Lin Yun's name in her heart.
On the one hand, she wanted to let Lin Yun save them and save the Nanxia Kingdom again.
On the other hand, when she saw Jian Cheng's true strength, she didn't want Lin Yun to come because she was worried that Lin Yun was not Jian Cheng's opponent.
Over the years, Nangong Yan had heard about what happened to Lin Yun in the Divine Realm, but that was only limited to the time before Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan returned to Tianwu Continent, which was when the war with the Dark Sect broke out.
Whether Lin Yun killed the Martial Lord or appeared in the peak battle, people in the Tianwu Continent still didn't know about these things. Now she thought that Lin Yun only had the strength of the Martial Emperor.
"Sword energy turns to rock!"
The long sword in Jian Cheng's right hand seemed to be cast from magma, and its entire body was filled with flames.
He held a long sword and slashed forward with endless divine power.
In an instant, dozens of sword energy flew out from his long sword.
These sword energies changed and twisted in the void, forming magma stones with a diameter of ten meters.
"kill!"
Dozens of Lin Yun's Dao realm clones raised their swords to resist.
But these magma stones are so powerful that when they touch anything, they will erupt directly from it.
The terrifying air wave, carrying the scalding heat wave, directly burned all the nearby Dao realm clones.
You must know that although the materials of these Dao realm clones that Lin Yun left in Tianwu Continent are not very good, they can at least exert the strength of a ninth-level Martial Emperor.
Dozens of Dao realm clones join forces, and even if they encounter an ordinary first-level martial saint, although they cannot defeat them, at least they still have the power to fight.
It's a pity that Jian Cheng's martial soul ability can create magma, which has an absolutely fatal restraint on Taoist clones that are originally made of wood.
In a short period of time, at least close to ten Dao realm clones were destroyed by Jian Cheng.
And Jian Cheng's face was full of excitement and madness. Lin Yun was a being at the level of a sect master in the God's Domain. Now that his clone is killed here and transmitted back to the God's Domain, Jian Cheng will definitely become famous.
As time goes by, the current situation has become worse and worse. Although the number of clones destroyed is decreasing, most of them have lost the ability to continue fighting.
The entire world suddenly fell into an atmosphere of deathly silence.
The people hiding in the royal city were all trembling, their eyes sometimes looking towards the sky, sometimes towards the palace.
Although Lin Yun had saved Tianwu Continent, this matter was related to their own lives. Very few people would use their lives to protect Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan.
Nangong Yan bit her lip, feeling even more anxious. She knew what the people were thinking, but she didn't blame them.
Everyone lives for themselves.
In the face of such a devastating disaster, it is understandable that they choose to do it for themselves.
"King! Let Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan come out!"
"We don't want to die here!"
"Please, save our lives!"
A commoner knelt down first and begged Nangong Yan, and behind him were his two young children.
Immediately afterwards, more people knelt down, pleading with Nangong Yan to hand over Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan.
Although they also knew in their hearts that Jian Cheng's statement that they would be safe and sound if they handed over Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan might be a lie.
But whenever there is a chance of survival, they all want to fight for it.
"you!"
The eyes of the two guards guarding Nangong Yan were splitting, and their hearts were filled with hatred.
If it hadn't been for Lin Yun, let alone the Southern Xia Kingdom, the entire Tianwu Continent would have been destroyed.
Now this group of people actually want to betray Lin Yun in order to survive.
"Don't blame them." Nangong Yan shook her head and signaled the two guards to stop talking.
The soldiers' beliefs are always different from the beliefs in the minds of the people.
Most of the soldiers in the Nanxia Kingdom have either heard of Lin Yun's deeds or followed Lin Yun. They have different feelings, believe in the strong, and value friendship, so they are willing to sacrifice their lives for Lin Yun and Nanxia.
The people just want stability. Compared with their feelings for the country, what they want to protect more is their loved ones.
"Hahaha! Do these bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimps want to stop me?" Jian Cheng looked up to the sky and laughed, holding the head of a Taoist clone and throwing it directly at Nangong Yan's feet.
Nangong Yan's expression suddenly changed. Although it was just a Taoist clone, it still made her feel dazed. She was worried that such a scene would happen after Lin Yun arrived.
"Hand over Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan. I will give you one last chance. My promise is still valid."
Jian Cheng held the long sword and swung it behind him.
In an instant, the sword energy divided the earth, and then divided all the soldiers of the Southern Xia Kingdom into two along the way.
The entire scene suddenly fell silent, and even Lin Yun's Dao Realm clone was unable to stop Jian Cheng. This time, the Nanxia Kingdom had been defeated.
"Dream like yours, there is not a single coward in Southern Xia. Even if we die, we will not hand over the Father and Mother of our country!" Lord Zhenguo had already fallen to the ground and was dying, but he still roared out with all his strength.
This roar also aggravated his injuries, causing him to cough continuously and cough up blood.
"The bones are quite hard, so I want to see whether it is your bones that are harder or my sword." Jian Cheng snorted coldly, raised his sword, and a sharp sword energy flew out, accurately
It penetrated the body of Lord Zhen Guo unerringly.
Lord Zhenguo gritted his teeth and did not let himself scream, which instead aroused Jian Cheng's anger.
Just when Jian Cheng was about to take action again, a majestic voice immediately came.
"stop!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan holding hands, walking towards the broken city gate from the depths of the royal city.
The people who were kneeling on the ground lowered their heads when they saw Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan, not daring to look at them.
After all, they also felt guilty. Lin Yun saved Tianwu Continent, but now they did not hesitate to hand over Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan in order to survive.
"Father of the Nation, please think twice!" Many soldiers stopped Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan, not wanting them to go out.
"Step aside, this matter started because of us, and it should be ended by us." Lin Tianyang looked upright, with no fear in his eyes.
Yang Zhaochan looked around and saw the corpses on the ground, her eyes already filled with tears.
