The city was filled with flames, and there were sounds of killing and running everywhere. Strong men in armor holding weapons, small monsters running around and attacking, residents crying and running away, defenders holding firecrackers and shooting, and sparks in the night sky.
Flying, life burns and withers at this moment.
In this night that was gradually turning into chaos, bursts of piercing sounds came from the eastern sky, and vague shadows were like giant bats, sliding across the cold night sky.
On the street where the fire was blazing, when the strong man at the Fire Tower Gate was knocked away by the black-striped deer and bull monster, a strong arm put his behind, lifted him up, and then buffered and rescued him.
When his body slowly fell back to the ground, the strong man tried his best to open his sleepy eyes and gradually saw clearly the killing figures in front of him.
Swordsmen wearing raincoats and bamboo hats were walking through the streets one after another. Their cloaks were black on top and green on the bottom. The blade was neither wide nor narrow, with a slight arc at the tip, like an eagle's beak, waving in the firelight.
Like a thin net of green shadow, it quickly cuts out long and narrow wounds on the scurrying monsters, and then bleeds to death.
"Are you from 'Yuqingwu'..." He muttered quietly, and as his eyes slowly closed, he fell into coma.
Living by the water, the fish master is green.
'Yu Shi' is the name of a water bird with blue indigo feathers, and later it was often used to refer to fishermen. 'Yu Qingwu' is a major sect in Shuiluo Island, east of Zheye Island, and its founder was 'Yu Shi' more than 300 years ago.
Most of the disciples in the sect, "Old Man Qingli", are fishermen on the river and are good at using swords. The disciples in the sect are both good and evil. There are also assassins and attackers, who are feared by outsiders.
Compared with the ‘Fire Tower Gate’ that has emerged in recent years, Yuqingwu has a much longer history and has been passed down in Shuiluozhou for hundreds of years. However, it has always been mysterious and few outsiders understand it.
Fishing on the river is by no means a high-end profession. Sometimes it is not as good as porters in the city. Moreover, because it is always on the water, the toes are soaked, the palms are cut by the fishing line, and are full of wounds. The fishy smell lingers on the body, and ordinary people are not willing to interact with it.
. As time goes by, these fishermen tend to be cold and lonely, and sometimes they even intercept and kill strongmen alone for a sum of money.
These fishermen, who wear bamboo hats and are good at wielding sharp swords, are often the lowest-level assassins. They will cut off roads and assassinate them just for a gold dish. Even though they die seven times out of ten, they still make people uneasy. Once upon a time, the dynasty
The government also wanted to suppress the arrests, but these assassins hid among ordinary fishermen and were alone in rivers and lakes all year round. It was difficult to distinguish and arrest them, and later nothing happened.
As 'Yuqingwu' gradually grew, many of its disciples were engaged in assassinations, and their swordsmanship became faster and more fierce. Seeing that the faction was about to become the target of suppression by the dynasty's government, some of the core disciples in the faction awakened and re-established themselves.
After rectifying and purging those who were too cruel and bloody in the sect, he also established the 'three no-kills' and restrained his disciples with various rules. After that, his reputation slowly recovered and he was tolerated by the dynasty.
It's just that although the family style has been restored, the fast and sharp swordsmanship, which has been continuously developed and researched and specially used for assassination, has been retained and has become the characteristic of its faction. Nowadays, in order to protect themselves, some fishermen will also go to the outer gate of Yuqingwu to learn so much.
One or two hands.
When the disciples of the Fire Tower Sect gradually became exhausted and were retreating in the city, hundreds of elite disciples from the 'Yuqingwu' arrived and repelled and killed the monsters that entered the city, and the situation finally stabilized.
In the courtyard of the state capital, torches were lit everywhere, and tight armored guards stood inside and outside the courtyard, protecting the core of Yawat City.
"Now the gap in the north of the city must be blocked, otherwise the monsters will continue to come in from there and eventually cause a disaster." A man wearing a green python robe and official uniform pointed to the map on the table and spoke.
"What Mr. Zhou Mu said is absolutely true, but now our troops are all at the top of the city and we can't spare any manpower at all." The captain wearing a golden copper mountain armor shook his head and sighed.
"The disciples of the Fire Tower Sect exterminated the monster beasts that rushed into the city. Now most of them are exhausted and it is difficult to take action again."
The man known as Zhou Mu frowned and slowly stroked his beard with one hand. He looked at the map on the table and kept thinking about it.
"Are there people from other factions in the city that we can invite to help?"
"The others are all small sects with little success. It is estimated that there are only a few sixth-level experts in the sect..."
"Let's go and give it a try. This is all we can do now. Promise them that they will be rewarded heavily if they succeed. In addition to the remaining disciples of the Fire Tower Sect... we will also send the state's personal guards out to assist. Anyway,
It can be done.”
After hearing this, the captain raised his head in surprise and looked at the state shepherd.
The captain himself is a sixth-level transcendent, and can still protect himself from the attack of this monster, but this state pastor is only an ordinary fourth-level strength. In this chaotic situation, without the protection of personal guards, it is not easy for him to protect himself.
, an accident will occur.
"I understand. Let's send you to the fire tower gate first. Apart from the state capital, this is the safest place at the moment."
After that, the two of them walked out of the house, called the guards in the yard, began to gather the remaining forces in the city, and explained the plan they had just made.
"Quick, hurry, invite the remaining representatives of the small faction in the city. Whether we can defend the city this time depends on this."
"Yes, sir." After that, several soldiers quickly ran out of the courtyard to deliver the order.
Before the soldiers who sent the order came back, there were bursts of sound in the street outside, and then I saw swordsmen wearing bamboo hats and raincoats walking through the night, sword lights flying, killing the escaping ones one by one.
The monsters are quickly killed and eliminated.
"That's someone from Yuqingwu." The two of them immediately recognized this special outfit.
"They actually came to help, which is really lucky."
After receiving the elite assistance from Yuqingwu, the raiding team immediately became fully manned and set off quickly.
Amidst the ruins of flames and smoke, this team of nearly a hundred people quickly advanced through the streets, defeating and destroying the monsters along the way, and gradually approached the gap in the city wall that was open in the night.
"hiss--"
A demonic beast with black hair and a few white stripes raised its head high. It looked like a deer or a cow, with long curved horns on its head. It screamed in the wilderness outside the city, and then waves of turbid water came, and
It washed to the foot of the city wall, creating waves of waves. Some monsters became more agile in the turbid black water. They jumped up from the water waves and rushed straight to the city wall. Their slippery skin made their skin and scales more flexible.
It is difficult to penetrate, and the battle on the city wall becomes increasingly difficult.
"Speed up!" A swordsman wearing a green and black bamboo hat saw the scene on the city wall in the distance, shouted in a low voice, and then flashed forward and rushed forward.
At this time, everyone had already approached the gap in the city wall. Now a lot of black water waves were pouring in from the gap, and some monsters could more easily swim and jump in through the gap.
After a sound of a mechanism activating, black sharp arrows were shot through the air, nailing some small monsters to death in the night. Then swordsmen in raincoats stepped forward, with strange sword lights, and stabbed back along the scales of some monsters.
Enter, penetrate and bleed it, and kill it quickly.
As expected of a fisherman and assassin who has lived on the river all year round, he is particularly good at dealing with these aquatic monsters, which has made many small sect practitioners look at him and express surprise.
After cleaning up these monsters, several disciples from the Fire Tower Sect first poured kerosene into the broken gap and ignited it, so that some monsters did not dare to approach. Then they found various gravels and bricks in the surrounding area, and continued to
Fill the gaps in the wall and build it high.
When the average city wall is half as high, thick iron bars are inserted into the ruins and connected with steel cables to form a blockade. This can form a simple defense, allowing the defenders to shoot from behind and continuously kill those who hit the wall.
Monster on iron bars and steel cables.
In the night illuminated by firelight, the gap finally closed, and the number of monsters pouring into the city was greatly reduced.
The defenders on the city wall saw this. After this difficult resistance, they finally regained some confidence and continued to fight the monsters that kept climbing and jumping up, blocking the gradually weakening attacks.
Perhaps, hope is just around the corner.
But the long cry in the wilderness broke everyone's illusions, and the monster with black fur and white stripes raised its head and roared.
"妦(yuan)——"
Sounds like crying and sobbing spread in the dark night, and soon after, the sound of rushing came from far and near.
"That's..."
"It's the sound of the tide, the sound of water flowing." Someone heard the essence of the sound.
The dazzling light slowly rose again, illuminating the dark wilderness outside the city. Waves of turbid water rushed across the ground, sweeping away the corpses, blood stains, debris, etc. that were originally in the wilderness. Some monsters were also swept away.
The tide carried it and rushed towards this lonely city in the wilderness.
Soon, the first wave of water hit the city wall, splashing into high waves, and a burst of smelly water vapor rushed towards us. Then came the monsters jumping up from the water tide. They grabbed the gaps in the city wall with their claws and climbed up.
.
The water waves continued to wash away, stones and debris gradually accumulated, and slopes slowly formed under the city wall. The attacks of the monsters became more and more violent. Many soldiers were injured in the impact, and loopholes began to appear in some remote places.
"Oops, I can't stand it if this goes on."
"Is there no one in the city? Find someone to support you!" someone yelled eagerly.
"Call people! Hurry, if the city is lost, everyone will be dead!"
A burst of rapid arrows rose in the night sky, and the sound was rapid and shrill.
After hearing the anxious call for help, some of the people left behind in the city once again separated out to support the city wall, but even so, it could only slow down the trend, and some fronts were still beginning to be broken through.
"hiss--"
A thick anaconda was spitting out snakes and coiled around the city gate tower. The snake's head was raised high, looking down at the crowd below, and it would swoop down from time to time and swallow people into its mouth.
Five Yuqingwu disciples wearing raincoats and holding fast swords flew forward, stepped on the damaged towers and ruins, and charged straight at the arrogant python with poisonous flames.
During the battle, one of the disciples was bitten by the python, and the other disciples also found an opportunity. Their swords were shining like practice, and they stabbed down, blinding the anaconda's eyes. Soon after, the sixth-level demonic beast emerged from the water.
The python slowly fell to the ground, and only three of the five people who originally attacked were left.
Scenes like this occurred all over the city wall. In addition to some small monsters, some powerful fifth- and sixth-order monsters also began to appear, causing a large number of casualties.
"No, we have to kill the monster with black fur and white stripes in the wilderness. Otherwise, it will be driving and commanding other monsters in the wilderness. There will be no end to the tide of monsters like this."
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, someone finally realized something was wrong and discovered the source of this beast wave.
"That seventh-level monster is 'Yuhu', and it is extremely ferocious. I am afraid that we, the people, are over-motivated and weak." But some people also know the current situation, and there is no extra power in the city.
This 'Yuhu' is one of several special monsters sat down by 'Yanqu'. When 'Yanqu' caused trouble in all directions, monsters like Yuhu also followed behind it to make trouble, and now they are attacking Zheye City.
is one of them.
"Fuck, if only the sect master was still here." The disciples of the Fire Tower Sect couldn't help but cursed, but they couldn't.
Some time ago, the sect leader and several other major sects led many experts to besiege the 'Yanqu'. They thought they could win completely, but in the end they were all destroyed. This resulted in the shortage of high-level extraordinary people in the nearby continents, and they were unable to defend the city.
Failed.
"What should we do now? Do we have to sit back and wait for death?" The defense line at the top of the city will fall sooner or later.
"Retreat? How to retreat? If they disperse, these monsters will immediately chase and kill them, which will only make things worse."
There is still a slight hope of holding on, but once the army retreats and the army is defeated, the advantage of the monsters in the chaos will be greatly magnified. And in this dark night and tide, how can people run past these monsters that live with the water? They will only die.
It's just worse.
People on the city wall were in panic, and gradually despaired in the face of this endless tide of beasts.
"No, that 'Yu Hu' is coming." A burst of exclamations broke out from the crowd.
Perhaps because there were no more monsters to summon, or perhaps because they couldn't bear the slow progress, the tall monster personally attacked and rushed towards the city wall.
The black hooves stepped in the water, as if they were walking on flat ground, even faster. The white veins in the deep black fur formed ghost faces, which were extremely monsterous. This monster beast had long antlers similar to those of a deer, but look at the curved and
It looks thick and somewhat similar to a cow. When it runs, it shouts "yuan" in its mouth, as if it is saying its own name, which is frightening.
Carrying heavy waves of turbid water, the monster hit the city gate tower together, knocking over the tower that was level with itself. With a crashing sound, stones and wood fell into the water waves, and some disciples from nearby factions waved their hands.
The weapon rushed forward, preparing to fight the monster, but when Yihu let out a loud roar, the colorless sound spread, and the people nearby bled to death.
Seeing this, the other personnel couldn't help but avoid being frightened. They used long-range weapons to shoot, and fire blunderbuss and sharp arrows flew. However, in front of the thick and tough fur, they just scratched and were dodged by the monster, and then it jumped up.
, jumped into the city, and began to rush towards the brightly lit place in the city. It could sense that a large number of weak humans gathered there.
When monsters gain wisdom, they will become more cruel and difficult to deal with.
Even though people kept shooting and chasing from behind, hoping to attract the attention of this monster, everything seemed to be in vain. It trampled the streets full of ruins, knocked down buildings one after another, and kept approaching the city. Some sharp
Shouts and sounds of panic echoed throughout the city, and more people began to panic.
Seeing that the monster was about to succeed, a blazing thunder suddenly exploded in the night.
"Card--"
Bright yellow lightning shot down diagonally from the sky, hitting the monster's forehead directly, interrupting its pace, causing it to tremble, green smoke rising, and the smell of burnt lake overflowing.
"Huh..." The monster roared again, and then looked around angrily, only to find the figure standing on the tall bell tower in the city.
He is tall, wearing a white monk's robe with bright yellow patterns on the corners and sleeves. He wears a vertical crown on his head and holds a square sword. The blade and hilt of the sword are equal in length. They can be held together for slashing and are extremely sharp.
.
The monk's sleeves were fluttering in the firelight all over the city, and his expression was stern. There was a bright yellow mark between his eyebrows, shaped like flying flames. When Naihu noticed him, he picked up the bright yellow talisman between his two fingers and quickly held it in front of him.
Thoughts surge.
Then the talisman spontaneously ignited without fire and turned into ashes in the night wind. Soon after, the clouds in the sky stirred, and a shocking lightning struck again, hitting Naihu's forehead, bringing up bursts of powder and smoke.
"W-"
Dark red and rich blood flowed from Yi Hu's forehead, her eyes widened with anger, and she ran towards the figure regardless.
After casting the two spells, the tall monk stopped continuing. He held the hilt of the sword with both hands, suddenly descended in the night, and killed the charging giant monster.
In the varying light of the fire, Yihu tilted her head to avoid the sharp impact of the sword blade, and faced the monk with the curved corner of her head. The sword blade burst into trembling sparks at the black curved corner, and then
The blade of the sword circulated, swung down again, and cut a long gash on the girl's neck and back. Dripping dark blue blood overflowed, and a cold breath overflowed from the wound.
The blood fell into the ground and water flow, attracting many small monsters nearby to rush to suck it. Even bystanders could feel the greed and joy in the eyes of the monsters. After absorbing the dark blue blood, these monsters became more
It became a little stronger, making everyone frightened by it.
The battle was still going on. Nayuhu squatted on the ground, then raised his left front hoof and stepped down hard. Countless water splashes turned into sword blades that protruded from the ground and pierced around. Important small monsters died among them, while some nearby city defenders
He also died unfortunately.
In the Water Wave Sword Forest, the monk holding a special long sword was also slightly injured. His sleeve had a large tear, and dark red blood was flowing down his wrist, dyeing the originally black sword hilt dark red.
In the subsequent battles, both sides became more careful. The sword blades flashed like white swords in the dark night, leaving wounds on the body of Yihu. The more injured the woman became, the more ferocious she became. Her dark blue
The blood turned into sharp swords and blades, constantly impacting and freezing everything around him. The monk had more and more wounds on his body, and his movements became slower and slower.
At the end, he felt that his body could no longer support the high-intensity movement and slashing, so he had to retreat to avoid the attack of the witch, and stood on the tall bell tower again, holding the square sword inserted into the ground with both hands.
, gasping for air.
"Hoo Chi, Hoo Chi." The firelight illuminated the blood and sweat on his forehead, and the injured Yihu from the distance came again.
He raised his head with difficulty, and once again grasped the hilt of the sword in his hand. The blade of the sword was swung in the air, and traces of bright flames were also formed simultaneously in the night sky above his head.
"Stars in the western sky, scorching sun and fire, rise!"
As the words fell, a huge bright yellow magic circle suddenly flashed on the ground where the battle had been fought, and brilliant and scorching flames rose from Nayuhu's feet, drowning her.
With a violent hoarse cry, the monster finally slowly fell down.
