The sacrifices of many monks, and the precious time finally gained, allowed the transfer of civilians to the shelter in the east of the city to be successfully completed. At this time, Pu Hui's troops had only less than 10% left. The huge casualties caused many soldiers to retreat after receiving the order.
In the end, he still chose to die with the Penglai Army.
On Li Mu's side, Xiaopi's physical strength was exhausted due to the long-term battle, and the countless wounds on his body made him grin in pain. In the end, Li Mu had no choice but to put him back into the warehouse system.
Bionic space for healing.
And because of his continuous high-intensity fighting, even with a massive supply of elixirs, he still felt a sense of emptiness in his dantian. Although he was unwilling to accept it, Li Mu knew very well that now was not the time to blindly die. He must save it.
Only strength can play a role in the most brutal street fighting that follows.
Since then, the eastern part of Qinglan City has basically been in a semi-occupied state. The Kongqi chariot formation led a large number of Penglai infantry to quickly occupy the main buildings and supply points in the city. The engineer team at the port also began to continue along the road.
Build fortifications.
Although it was not as smooth as expected, and although it paid a price that made Katori feel painful, the Penglai army finally achieved its set goal. At the same time, the battle in the west and north of the city continued, and neither the Qing ancestors nor the Bai ancestors were able to fight.
Defeat the Black Mist King and the Hundred Snake King in a short period of time.
Faced with such a bad situation, Liu Chong could only shrink most of his troops and stick to the connection between the south and east of the city, while the other remaining troops were allowed to spontaneously start street fighting during the retreat. The combat goal of all teams was set as
Rescue civilians and assist in their evacuation.
The cruelty of street fighting is that every area of the entire city has become a battlefield. You may encounter enemies anywhere and start fighting at any time. All buildings and fortifications have become places that need to be fought over, like a meat grinder.
The tug-of-war will last for a long, long time until one party is completely defeated or all of them die.
Li Mu hid his figure in the darkness. Now he was acting alone. He had put on the disguise bracelet again and regained the appearance of a featureless middle-aged man. After retreating from the position in the east of the city,
Following Liu Chong's direct order, he began to search for civilians waiting for rescue in the east area of the city.
And the shelter hidden underground in front of him is his next target.
"There are a total of ten Penglai soldiers, two in the Infant Transformation Realm, and eight in the Core Formation Realm. For civilians, there are about three hundred people."
Li Mu, who quietly activated the Tiansheng Jue, quickly figured out the situation in this shelter. He called up the shadow cloak from the warehouse system, completely hiding his figure, and then slipped in directly from the entrance.
When the underground shelter was first built, in order to maintain its concealment, they chose to dig it to a depth of at least fifty feet. Li Mu carefully went down the steps, and after turning about seven or eight turns, he finally arrived at the shelter.
The core location of the place.
The original plan was to observe the situation and look for opportunities to launch a sneak attack, but the scene that caught his eye instantly ignited his anger.
I saw more than three hundred people from Qinglan City gathered in a corner of the shelter, and the ten monks and soldiers from the Penglai Army, all holding long swords in their hands, were chatting and laughing.
"I said, brother, how about we compete with each other to see who can cut off more heads in one vs. twenty breaths of time?"
"Hahaha, Brother Zhao, let's compete. I, the sixth one, am definitely not bad at beheading. Let's make a deal first. If I win, you must lose half of the military merits to me this time."
Penglai monks who looked like two military officers actually wanted to start a competition on the spot in this shelter, and the content of the competition was to see who could chop off the heads of more civilians in Qinglan City within twenty breaths of time.
When Li Mu saw it, the two demons had already started the competition. They raised their swords and slashed the nearby man and woman with machetes. The other eight soldiers of the Penglai Army were counting loudly on the side. This made people and gods angry.
The scene appeared so vividly before Li Mu's eyes, how could he remain calm?
"Animal, take your life!"
The Star Meteor Sword was unsheathed with anger, and Li Mu put away his shadow cloak. His body shot out, and the gleaming sword blade was pointed at the two Infant Transformation Realm officers who were still immersed in the killing competition.
It can be said that Li Mu's appearance was without warning, and in a rage, he used the thunder move, the tenth form of the Li family's swordsmanship, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect.
The sharp sword energy passed by, and one of the Penglai officers was cut into several pieces without even reacting. The other murderous demon standing next to him picked up the long knife and wanted to resist, but failed.
Li Mu, who was already close, pierced his heart with a sword.
The sudden attack made everyone present dumbfounded. The remaining Penglai soldiers were all stunned, and the people of Qinglan City who had thought they were doomed could not believe their eyes.
Li Mu did not stop the pace of killing. He turned over with a kite in the air and landed in front of eight Penglai soldiers. Now he has already had the strength to fight against the strong men of the Infinite Realm. Facing the eight Core Formation Realm monks
At that time, it can basically be said to be chopping melons and vegetables.
In just three or four breaths, these bloody, cruel and inhuman Penglai Army soldiers were all killed by Li Mu. Only then did the people huddled in the corner burst into cheers.
The feeling of escaping from death brought tears to the eyes of all the suffering people. The man hugged his wife tightly in his arms, and the parents cried with joy while holding their children. Their eyes looking at Li Mu became even hotter, and before they could stop them, they all
They all knelt down in front of Li Mu.
"Hero, thank you for your help."
Although Li Mu didn't want to accept the kneeling of so many people, he couldn't persuade him for a while. He could only wait for everyone to thank them before guiding more than 300 people out of the shelter.
"Go north for about half a mile and you will see the safety zone set up by our army. Someone will arrange for you to follow the large army out of the city. Without further ado, hurry up and set off."
After sending away this group of civilians, Li Mu did not take any rest and directly began to search for the next target. The killing competition he had witnessed in the underground shelter greatly touched him. The evil of human nature is in the war.
Being infinitely magnified, the lives of enemy civilians are not worth mentioning in the eyes of these Penglai troops, and they can be killed if they want.
This also made Li Mu more determined to win the defense battle of Qinglan City no matter what, because he knew that if he failed, it would be inhumane to wait for the millions of people who are still left in Qinglan City.
