The arrows were too violent, and the demon army approaching the east gate immediately suffered numerous casualties. They stopped about half a mile away from the east gate of Xingqing and stopped moving forward.
However, the angry soldiers on the city wall didn't care whether they continued to approach or not, they just released arrows one after another, causing the demon clan's casualties to continue.
The huge fire chi in the sky saw that the arrows were too dense and the little demon below could not move forward, so he had to take action himself. He bent his body in the air, then fell to the ground and rushed toward the city gate. Immediately, a general on the city wall shouted: "Fire the crossbow!"
"Whoosh!"
The thick iron crossbow quickly cut through the air and rushed towards the fire chi. These arm-thick iron crossbows were so powerful that they could easily penetrate a city wall one to two feet thick. However, when they touched the Fire Chi's body, they only scratched a few of his scales and shed some blood. There's no way to stop him.
Now the soldiers of Dayu Kingdom were dumbfounded. The monster's scales were actually harder than rocks? He couldn't even defeat such a powerful crossbow, so what else could he use to deal with it?
The general said anxiously: "Fire the crossbows, fire the crossbows, more!"
Then another burst of iron crossbows was fired, but still had little effect.
It was no longer possible to stop it. In just an instant, the fire dragon's huge head slammed into the tall city gate. Suddenly, the soles of the people on the city wall shook. A big hole had been knocked out of the heavy gate, and the stone and wood were shattered. Blocks were flying all over the sky.
The strong crossbow angered this tenth-level fire chi. His head had already crashed into the city gate. At this time, his fangs were exposed. He slightly retracted his head and bent his neck. After accumulating strength, he rushed towards the city along the broken city gate. Breathed out a mouthful of fire. Suddenly a beam of white flame shot out from the east gate, traveling straight through the streets and alleys, and did not stop until it passed through about half of the city. Everything in the path of the white flames was turned into coke, and the remaining tongues of flames quickly rushed around, turning Xingqing East City into a sea of flames.
With just one breath of flame, half of Xingqing's life was lost. All the soldiers were stunned and even forgot to nock an arrow.
They never thought that the enemy's strength could be so terrifying. The most terrible thing is that they have absolutely no way to deal with this fire chi. As long as he is there, the defenders of Dayu Kingdom cannot win.
After spitting out the flames, the fire dragon slowly pulled its head out of the city gate, glanced coldly at the defenders on the city wall, then flew into the air and roared angrily.
Seeing that the city gate was breached, the demon army below saw their morale boosted again, and charged towards the city gate with their screams.
"Boom!"
The thunderous sound of drums rang in the ears of the soldiers again. Only then did they wake up from the shock, wildly shooting arrows at the city wall, and some soldiers brought oil drums and dumped them down, then threw down torches and lit them, setting fire to drive back the demon army. Suddenly, everything inside and outside the city was a sea of fire.
Ever since the fire Chi breathed out his white flames, the city had been in chaos. Some houses happened to be on the road to the center of the white flames. Needless to say, they were burned down to ashes. However, more people were affected by the fire. Everyone fled from their homes and ran around in the streets. The sound of crying was endless.
Immediately afterwards, the east gate was broken, and a loud noise was heard from the south. There was a four-armed ape standing there who was taller than the city wall. He had already broken the city gate with one punch and kicked the city wall to pieces. He roared angrily, leaped high into the city, and started smashing things. The centuries-old city, with countless exquisite pavilions and pavilions, was suddenly destroyed. The situation over there is the same as the east gate. No one can control the four-armed ape as high as a mountain, and can only let him do whatever he wants.
Two great monsters from the Tenth Realm appeared to attack the city, and there was no suspense about the outcome. However, the drums kept beating and the soldiers did not dare to stop. They could only hold back the grief in their hearts and try their best to defend against the enemy.
Soon, the demon army under the city wall had broken through the sea of fire and entered the city through the city gate. There were already large armies guarding the surroundings, drawing their swords and stepping forward to fight the monsters. There were flashes of swords and shadows, and howls were everywhere. The city gate was in chaos. It was hard to tell whether it was an enemy or a friend. Both sides were furious, and their sharp claws and blades were constantly exchanging blows.
Lin Cangyang did not lower her head to look down, she was afraid that if she looked at it, she would be unable to suppress the grief in her heart. Therefore, she only looked coldly at the fire locust in the sky and beat the drum vigorously. Her hands had been numbed by the shock, and she was not aware of the blood dripping from between her fingers.
The soldiers around him fell one by one, and the fierce battle only lasted for more than two hours before gradually weakening. The demon clan has already captured all the city gates, and the army invaded the city and killed them wantonly. However, there were not many troops left in the Dayu Kingdom. Except for some places where they were still fighting, the rest were all dead and injured.
There were not many soldiers left on the city wall, and all the civil and military officials who came up with her were missing. However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she was beating the drum and was never killed by the demon clan. Even several demon clans flew past her and seemed not to notice her.
The dragon robe had long been stained with bright red blood and was in dilapidated condition. Lin Cangyang looked at the deserted city wall, gritted his teeth, and started beating the drums like a gust of wind and rain.
But no one could hear the drums anymore.
The first thing the demon army did when they entered Xingqing was to massacre the city, killing them without mercy. The war between humans and monsters is no better than between countries, and there is no mercy.
When two countries fight, one country is captured, dynasties change, and flags are exchanged. This is called the subjugation of the country. When two tribes fight, naturally no foreign tribe will be left in the territory of the tribe. They can only massacre the city. This is called the subjugation of the world.
The night was already deep, and a blood-red crescent moon hung in the sky. People of the older generation once said that many people died, all living beings were devastated, and even the moon would be dyed red. This sentence seems to be true now.
Lin Cangyang looked up at the moon and saw an old man walking from the sky outside the city. In just two or three steps, he landed on the city wall from several miles away. The old man had a long beard. He glanced at Xingqing City with a cold expression. Lin Cangyang didn't know who he was, but as soon as he landed on the city wall, the fire chimney immediately flew down from the air, coiled his body on the ground, and looked up at the city wall, as if to express his surrender.
The old man walked slowly in front of her and said: "Look inside the city wall, there is no one of yours anymore, stop."
Lin Cangyang stopped and took a cold look at his hands, which were dripping with blood. She wanted to drop the drumstick, but the blood on her hands was scabbed, and the drumstick stuck to her hand. She pulled it off expressionlessly, but there was no feeling in her hand at all.
The old man asked: "Looking at you wearing a dragon robe, are you the king of Dayu?"
Lin Cangyang straightened his back, straightened his clothes slowly, nodded and said, "I am."
"I am Taotie, responsible for the demon clan's general attack on East Fuyao Continent." The old man smiled at her and took a look at the city, "What a pity. What a beautiful city."
Lin Cangyang stood in front of him without fear, with an indifferent expression, neither sad nor happy, majestic yet solemn.
"You have the spirit of a king, but it's a pity that you were born at the wrong time." Taotie stood with his hands behind his hands, "By the way, I have something to ask you. Didn't you say that Yao Zong has secretly replaced the king of Dayu Kingdom? ?Why are you not from the Demon Sect?"
Lin Cangyang ignored it.
Taotie smiled and said, "Well, I know even if you don't tell me, it's just the Demon Sect's group who messed up the matter. But it doesn't matter, we still captured Xingqing City and it's vulnerable."
Lin Cangyang suddenly sneered and said, "Your 400,000-strong army was completely wiped out in Ximen Gorge, and not a single one escaped. How dare you laugh at me?"
Taotie's smile froze, his face tightened, and he said slowly: "It's just a little trick of the human race, it won't make a difference. If you unite with the Qishui Water God, I can guess it even if you don't tell me. Anyway, since I'm here in person today. Qing, let me show you the true capabilities of our demon clan!"
After saying that, he transformed into a monster with a human face and a sheep body, stepped into the air, and leapt to hover directly above Qishui. The monster lowered its head to drink water, and the Qishui water flowed up from the river surface into the air, and he took it into his mouth. At first, the water flow was no bigger than a stream, but then it turned into a river. After that, he drank the huge water flow into his belly, but the monster looked calm, as if he was taking a sip of water. Reading books
Lin Cangyang stared there closely. Soon, even the water level of Qishui began to drop. The vast river with a width of more than ten miles was actually drunk by him until the surface of the river dropped!
He drank more and more water from the river, as if he had entered a bottomless pit and disappeared without a trace. Not long after, a woman with a figure molded by the water appeared on the surface of the river. It was Ningqiu, the water god of Qishui.
At this moment, her expression was extremely painful. She knelt on the river and begged miserably: "Lord Taotie, please spare my life! I was just ignorant for a moment and was deceived by villains. I was blinded by lard and hurt your army. I deserve death! Please, sir." Seeing that my cultivation is not easy, please spare my life. I will serve the people of the Demon Clan well from now on and have good weather every year!"
Being enshrined in Qishui by the Dayu Kingdom for hundreds of years, Ningqiu has always been aloof and has never had such a promise of "good weather". Lin Cangyang sneered. Some people's bones are cheap. If they don't break them, they will not look good to you.
Taotie ignored it and continued to drink water from his belly. Ningqiu knelt on the river, her body gradually losing strength, but she only dared to cry and beg for mercy in a low voice, not daring to fight back at all.
The fire dragon flew to the river, opened its mouth and breathed out a stream of white flames, covering her. In just a moment, Ningqiu, the Water God of the Tenth Realm, was burned alive. The god was shattered and the avenue disappeared. She did not fight back until her death.
Lin Cangyang felt a great sadness.
Taotie then stopped, still transformed into a human form, returned to her, and said, "Did you see it? If I want, I can drink all the Qi water. This is the skill of my demon clan."
Lin Cangyang looked at him with compassion and said: "The troops of Dayu are just ordinary people. They can't defeat you with cultivation. This is inevitable. Why are you so eager to prove yourself? The more you want to prove yourself, the more incompetent you appear. You I also know the sword that split Fuyao Continent in two. If you dare to say such words in front of that sword immortal, I will only obey you."
Taotie shook his head and said, "No matter what, you will lose after all."
Lin Cangyang said seriously: "No, we died, but we did not lose."
Taotie looked into Lin Cangyang's eyes, which were crystal clear and showed no fear. Even he was a little scared now.
He can kill a person, but he cannot destroy a person's will. If the human race is like this person in front of me, I am afraid that the demon race will never be able to defeat them, but after all, such people are in the minority, and most of them are still a mob.
Taotie was in a trance when the four-armed ape walked over the ruins of Xingqing City and stopped in front of him. The four-armed ape stood up. His head was much higher than the city wall. He asked: "Everyone has been killed. As for this city, should we burn it or keep it?"
"Burned."
The monkey smiled and said: "I saw many interesting pavilions built. Why don't we keep them? Can't we live in them ourselves?"
Taotie said coldly: "You are a demon clan, why do you live in a human clan building? No matter how beautiful it is, it does not belong to us."
The four-armed ape said helplessly: "Okay, you have the final say, then burn it."
In the blink of an eye, he saw Lin Cangyang on the city wall again, and said with a smile: "There is another person here, why don't you kill him for me."
After saying that, he raised his hand and was about to punch it down. Taotie said angrily: "Stop!"
The four-armed ape curled his lips, reluctantly stopped and left.
Taotie looked at the man in dragon robe in front of him and asked, "Your country has perished, where are you going?"
Lin Cangyang looked towards the city and said, "This is my country, I won't go anywhere."
"Okay, then you stay. I can keep that palace for you. You live in it. With my order, no monsters will come in and disturb you."
Lin Cangyang sneered a few times and said, "The country has been destroyed. What's the point of living alone?"
She took one last look at the ruins of Xingqing, then suddenly pulled out the dagger from her sleeve and swiped it on her neck. The bright red blood flowed down the blade of the dagger, falling drop by drop on the land that once belonged to her.
Lin Cangyang felt that his strength was gradually losing, and he was about to lose his balance. But she didn't want to fall, so she stood with difficulty against the military drum. Her eyes were fixed on the ruins from beginning to end. At the end of her life, she seemed to see those familiar pavilions and pavilions being rebuilt again. The flames of war subsided, trees grew, children played in the shade, vendors shouted through the streets, men and women worshiped and became husband and wife, and everything finally came back.
The sound of fireworks bursting suddenly rang in her ears, and the colorful sparks exploded in the air, extremely gorgeous. Taotie was frightened by the sudden fireworks and took a step back. Huo Zhi and the four-armed ape also looked at the blooming fireworks in confusion. Only Lin Cangyang's expression was full of longing, and he smiled slowly while looking into the sky.
It's the New Year, she closed her eyes with satisfaction.
