Under the city gate, the giant bear was hitting the heavy city gate with its huge body and sharp claws. There was a sharp sword stuck in front of its chest. It had one eye blind and one hand broken. Its body was so bloody that it was almost invisible.
Less than a good piece of skin.
But it still seemed to be tireless, hitting the city gate again and again.
There were corpses scattered around. Jueqi was lying on the ground, his arms were bent unnaturally, his bones were deformed by the giant bear, and there was a dark blood hole in his chest that was bleeding continuously.
Countless soldiers passed by him, shouting for death.
He still had a breath left, which was enough for him to look up and see the figure of Nangong Xun commanding above the city wall amid the fierce battle.
Miss, I'm sorry, I can't protect the young master.
However, I haven't broken my oath.
Thinking like this, all the sounds around him seemed to fade away. Jueqi felt the temperature of her body slowly cooling down, but at this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed across her eyes.
what happened?
Jueqi seemed to...see a cat.
A completely black cat, completely ignoring the swords and beasts around it, roaring, wagging its tail, stepping over countless corpses, and walking through the blood-stained land like a leisurely stroll.
Small...black?
Jue Qi was surprised that the cat in front of her seemed to be Xiao Hei that the two young masters had been looking for for a long time.
How did it appear here?
Could it be... am I already dead?
Jue Qi thought feebly.
So what we see now is also Xiao Hei’s soul?
However, the giant bear breaking through the city gate immediately dispelled Jueqi's guess.
As if aware of Xiao Hei's approach, the giant bear suddenly stopped hitting the city gate, but slowly turned around and lowered its head in Xiao Hei's direction.
The next second, a miracle happened.
The eye that was not blind was originally flashing with a fierce green light, but the moment it saw Xiao Hei, it suddenly returned to its original tan color, and the bloody mouth with saliva and blood flowing slowly closed.
Jue Qi saw the thin black figure standing in front of him and turned to face the direction of the battlefield. The wolves that were attacking towards the city gate suddenly stopped suddenly, then turned around and headed towards the enemy in unison.
Fang bit it and left.
The enemy soldiers who were confused about the situation were bitten to pieces by the wolves they brought before they could react. The wolves were even more vicious than when they attacked the Shuiyue Kingdom soldiers just now.
For a while, there were constant cries of pain.
Xiao Hei turned around and took a look at Jue Qi. His life was rapidly disappearing. In the past many years, many lives had been lost before its eyes.
"Are you... a god?" Jue Qi said feebly in a weak voice.
Xiao Hei said nothing.
"If so, can you help me protect...protect..."
Before Jue Qi could finish her words, she fell into eternal darkness.
Xiao Hei stayed at his body for a moment, turned around and jumped lightly towards the city wall without looking back.

Nangong Xun was very puzzled.
I don't understand why the situation has changed.
Did something go wrong with the trainer?
At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black figure jumping up the city wall from the corner of his eye. He subconsciously drew his sword and wanted to stab it, but was stunned when he turned around.
a cat?
Xiao Hei squatted on the highest point of the city wall, completely ignoring the long arrows flying back and forth around him. The blue cat's eyes reflected the falcon above the city wall that blocked the sky and blocked the sun.
The moment the cat's eyes looked at the falcon, all the birds in the sky froze, then turned around in a slight panic, and dived towards the enemy in a black mass, screaming.
Zhao's army was immediately surrounded by eagles and wolves, as well as the giant bear covered in blood.
Nangong Xun had no time to be surprised and immediately took advantage of the situation to take command.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Brothers! Kill——!"
*
The first rain in early spring was very light.
After burying Jue Qi, Nangong Xun did not go to the celebration banquet. Instead, he found another restaurant, bought several jars of wine alone, and drank in silence in his room.
When I was drunk, suddenly a bolt of lightning struck outside, and after a brief white light in front of my eyes, a cat appeared by the window.
The muffled thunder rumbled, covering up Nangong Xun's slow scream.
Xiao Hei jumped into the house, shook his hair and shook the rain off his body.
Nangong Xun recognized it and put down the wine glass. Most of the confusion that was originally stained by the alcohol in his eyes was gone.
"Xiao Hei?"
He stood up and was about to step forward when he suddenly remembered what he had seen on the battlefield before and paused.
"Are you Xiao Hei?"
Xiao Hei turned around and saw a chair placed opposite Nangong Xun's table. A wine glass in front of the chair was already filled with wine.
The aroma of wine overflowed. Xiao Hei jumped onto the empty chair and lowered his head to drink the wine in the glass.
"Hey? That's for Jue Qi! You little kitten, be careful if you drink it!"
"You can't drink when you're dead."
Xiao Hei suddenly spoke, startling Nangong Xun.
The whole room suddenly fell into deathly silence.
Nangong Xun thought of another cat.
A cat that takes him through the fog and sings.
At any rate, he was someone who had seen such a big scene. This time he was not as panicked as last time. He just picked up the wine glass with trembling hands and took a sip of wine to strengthen his courage.
"who are you?"
"Where is Nangong Ling?" Xiao Hei asked without answering, "Have you and Jue Qi found him?"
"How did you know we were looking for him?" Nangong Xun was shocked.
Xiao Hei glanced at Nangong Xun, "If you don't answer, I have ten thousand ways to get you to answer, but I can't guarantee whether you will still be the same after you get the answer."
There was no threat in Xiao Hei's tone at all, he was just speaking straightforwardly and telling the truth.
Tang Ling knew that there were some methods that could read other people's memories, mainly soul-searching techniques. Once these methods were used, the brain of the person whose memory was searched would be greatly damaged, and the person whose memory was being searched would most likely become a fool or a waste.
Nangong Xun swallowed, "We found him, but he is not here now."
Obviously, Nangong Xun did not want to reveal Nangong Ling's location, but this could be regarded as answering Xiao Hei's question.
"He went to ask for reinforcements." Xiao Hei stared at Nangong Xun and said.
Nangong Xun's expression changed, "You know and you still ask me?"
"I wasn't sure just now, but now I'm sure."
"You—" Nangong Xun realized that he had been fooled and gritted his teeth and said, "Despicable."
"You haven't experienced a truly despicable person yet," the little gangster said.
"Okay, I answered your question, can you tell me who you are?"
As if realizing that Xiao Hei had no ill intentions, Nangong Xun's voice became obviously louder.
"I don't know," the little gangster said, "but some of them call me a demon, and some of them call me a devil."
"It doesn't sound like a good word." Nangong Xun swallowed again, shaking his voice and said, "But since you are a monster, why would you save people?"
"Save people?" Xiao Hei asked.
"You saved the Shuiyue Kingdom's army."
"It also killed Zhao's soldiers." Xiao Hei continued.
Nangong Xun was speechless.
"The second time." Xiao Hei suddenly said.
"What the second time?" Nangong Xun was confused.
"This is the second time I have saved you. I will save you three times to repay you for saving your life before."
Nangong Xun finally realized that Xiao Hei was answering the question just now.
"So you helped me defeat the Zhao army to save me?" Nangong Xun said in shock, "When did I save you?"
"You don't need to know this." Xiao Hei said, "You only need to know that there is one last chance. For the last time, I will give you the right to choose your own opportunity."
"How could it be the second time?" Nangong Xun said, "Also, I saved you once, why did you return it to me three times?"
Xiao Hei had already jumped onto the window sill and only answered the last question.
"Because my life is worth more."
After saying that, the small black figure jumped into the rain curtain in an instant.
