On the top of the city, Li Jian and Li Mao were already together. The grandfather and grandson were back to back. The cold light of their swords was like a chariot wheel spinning around on the top of the city, strangling the Jin troops who were attacking the city.

There is no command, and there is no need to command. Jin troops are everywhere, just kill. The two of them didn't know that Qiu Feng was hit by an arrow, and they only regarded the fight in front of them as the end of their lives.

At first, Li Mao tried his best to protect Li Jian, and tried his best to block the swords of the Jin army. However, due to exhaustion of physical strength, the sword in his hand became heavier and heavier, and his chest heaved like the bellows of a blacksmith shop.

Later, Li Jian gradually became the grandfather who protected him at all times. Although he suffered several injuries in order to protect his grandfather, the more Li Jian killed, the brighter his eyes became. He killed people in a chaotic battle and could kill people with half of his strength. Li Jian would never use any force to save his life. If he could stab his opponent in the eyes, Li Jian would never cut off his hands or feet. He was simple and efficient when fighting against the enemy. In the end, Li Mao was left panting in the corner, resisting all the killings by himself. The Jin army came over.

Although these Jin soldiers did not recognize Li Mao, they knew that Li Mao was a high official just by looking at his armor. Cutting off his head was definitely a great achievement. Therefore, the Jin soldiers who besieged Li Mao were not afraid of death. Unexpectedly, the half-grown child in front of the old man stabbed his hand like this, and his sword skills were so sharp!

Li Mao covered his ribs with his hands, where he had received an iron whip earlier and probably had broken bones. However, he didn't care and just focused his eyes on his grandson who was fighting. He still wanted to protect the child. I didn’t expect that this child would protect himself so well today! Watching Li Jian dodge and move against the enemy, seemingly careless but deadly, and looking with concern from time to time to see if any Jin troops were sneaking up on him, Li Mao couldn't help but nod while feeling very relieved. , looking at this skill is not inferior to Tianxuan, looking at this calmness, but still better than me, okay, this seedling of the Li family is really good.

It's a pity that Li Mao looked at the Jin troops in front of him again, and he had to pass this level!

The Jin troops on the city wall were suddenly surprised to find that there was no longer a steady stream of people coming under the city. They looked back in the direction of their military formation in surprise. Indeed, although the military formation was still neatly lined up, there was indeed no more people. The formations came out in unison, the soldiers moved forward, and there was no one on the battlefield except corpses to rush towards them. This made them suddenly feel desperate. Did they stop attacking? So what do you think and the corpses here matter? Escape back? Will definitely die. Why don't you run away? Still dead. Although Liang Jun suffered heavy casualties, as long as he was not dead, he slashed with red eyes and swung his blade. This is really embarrassing!

The battle was almost over. Li Jian looked at several Jin soldiers who were helpless, trembling, and couldn't help but look back. He had killed so many people that these Jin soldiers who saw him killing people were almost frightened by him. Li Jian took two steps forward with his sword. The Jin soldiers were so frightened that they huddled together. One of them screamed and was forced to fall down the city. The nearby Liang army slowly surrounded them, and no one could He spoke and stared lifelessly, only the weapon in his hand was dripping with blood.

Li Jian felt bored, turned around and walked towards Li Mao. The Liang army behind them swarmed up and chopped the remaining Jin army on the wall into pulp.

Someone has already informed Li Mao. He knew that Li Tianxuan shot an arrow at Qiu Feng in front of the formation, so it was not surprising that the Jin army stopped attacking the city. However, Li Tianxuan was told that he did not know whether the arrow could kill Qiu Feng. Shot to death, now it seems that he is almost dead.

I never thought you would die in the hands of my Li family in the end. I don’t want you to die like this, that would be so boring!

Li Mao was supported by Li Jian and came to the battlement to look at the Jin army's formation. The fierceness of the Jin army's attack on the city today is rare. The Jin army's array, which used to be so dark and dense that no one could see the edges, now seems to be much thinner.

Whether he is dead or not, you might as well let me know!

In the Jin army camp, in Qiu Feng's commanding tent, all the military doctors who were in a hurry disappeared at some point, leaving only various medicine boxes and medicines in front of Qiu Feng's bed. Qiu Feng lay on his back on the bed with his eyes closed. The arrow on his chest had been taken out. Layers of clean fine white linen wrapped his chest tightly. His face was originally fair, but now he was extremely pale. Bloody didn't make any sound, but suddenly Qiu Feng's chest, which was covered with white linen, rose and fell. He screamed and sat up from the bed, gasping for air as if he had a nightmare.

"Am I dead?" Qiu Feng murmured as he touched his chest.

"How can I let you die so easily while I'm here?" A faint voice came from the tent. Qiu Feng caught a glimpse of the hem of a dark purple robe. This glance made General Qiu Feng tremble slightly. .

"You can't die until Luo Jingcheng is captured, you know."

"Yes." Qiu Feng was sitting on the bed and started to bow, as if he was extremely afraid of the person who was speaking.

"Then don't stay in bed, this city must be taken today!" The man in purple robe fell silent after saying that.

Suddenly a horn sound sounded in the Jin army's formation, high-pitched and long, and the war drums beat again, rapid and dull. This sound shocked Li Mao and his eyes widened. He saw that no one was left in the Jin army camp, and the entire Jin army formation was Push forward and press towards Luo Jingcheng.

In Luojing City, after the bloody battle, Liang Jun looked at this scene with miserable expressions. This was the last battle, maybe not for the Jin army, but for Liang Jun, who suffered heavy casualties and was exhausted, it was definitely the last battle.

"Blow the trumpet!" Li Mao roared and ordered, "Blow the trumpet, gather the generals and troops, abandon the other three gates, and put all the people here. All our people in the city who are not dead will also be transferred up. Qiu Feng This is a desperate effort, I know this man will not die so easily!"

Just when the trumpet sounded from the top of Luojing City, Li Mao suddenly spurted a mouthful of blood on the battlements, and Li Jian was shocked.

"It's okay! My heart was filled with blood, and I felt relieved after spitting it out." After speaking, Li Mao smiled evilly, but all the white teeth in his mouth were stained red with blood, making him look very hideous. Suddenly he looked at Li Jian and said, "You have to go. You and your second uncle have to go. Your second uncle was seriously injured and is now unconscious. Go and take your second uncle out of the city and back to Liang Jing."

"No, I'm not leaving, I want to stay..." Before Li Jian could finish speaking, Li Mao slapped him back.

"Nonsense! How can I allow you to act nonsense at this time?" Li Mao was furious. He did not explain to Li Jian, but knelt down half-kneeling to the generals surrounding him, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Fellow gentlemen, Dear brothers, I have served in the army all my life, and you have fought countless battles with me. I have no regrets about people or things. I only have a small selfish intention and ask for your understanding. My son is now seriously injured and comatose. I don’t know whether he is alive or dead. My grandson. I also killed the enemy in a bloody battle here. I don’t ask for anything else. The Li family is not popular. I just don’t want my Li family to stop smoking here. I want this child to take my son away from here. The Li family is in Luojing City. One dead old man is enough! I hope you guys won’t blame me!”

As soon as Li Maogang finished speaking, a large area of ​​the city, including soldiers and generals, fell to their knees under a black pressure. A general who was close to Li Mao and covered in blood said with his fists in his hands and choked with sobs: "General, please don't say that. It's critical at this moment. This is the right thing to do. I and the general will stay and defend the city to the death. If anything happens, we still have to rely on you." General Tianxuan and the Major General are taking care of our children. As long as General Tianxuan and the Major General are here, we will have another day to fight back."

"That's right! Let's go quickly, General. We can still count on the Major General to avenge us in the future!" For a while, Liang Jun in the city began to urge Li Jian to leave quickly.

Li Mao turned to Li Jian, glared at his bloodshot eyes and sternly scolded: "Did you hear that? Come on, don't let us have a bloody battle in vain!"

Li Jian wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be swollen and he couldn't say a word. He looked at his grandfather and everyone in the city with red eyes, saluted heavily, and stumbled down the city.

Just when the marshal of Jin State was shot by an arrow and came back to life, on a mountain top near the battlefield, several monks were gathering together to wait. When they saw the bronze carriage arriving, they all saluted.

"Uncle Tang is here!"

Old Man Tang jumped off the carriage and looked in the direction of Luo Jingcheng, where a bloody evil aura was rising into the sky. He couldn't help but frowned and asked, "What's going on there?"

A young man in green robes replied: "The beating was very severe. It has been repeated for three months. It seems that the enemy's people are determined to capture Luo Jing City below. Thanks to the Fang family, The general who defended the city, Li Mao, had some tricks to prevent the city from being lost, but life was not easy. Uncle Shi came at the right time. Today, the Jin side is going all-out. It seems to be the last battle. Oh, that kid nothing."

A middle-aged man bowed and said: "Uncle Tang, we originally planned to test the child secretly, but then the Jin State sent several groups of assassins to assassinate the guard Li Mao as a cover. In fact, we were going for the child, but what surprised us was that the child had amazing senses. Every time he encountered danger, it was as if he knew about it in advance. With such senses, he must have good qualifications, so we didn't go looking for him. My son, I am also worried that if there are people from Mu Yangzong secretly, it will be unsightly if they bump into me, so I have been observing in secret."

"Assassination!" Elder Tang's face turned cold, "The enemy actually acted like this, huh!"

Having said this, Elder Tang asked again: "Did you really not find anyone from the Mu Yang Sect here?"

"Uncle Tang, we have been paying attention to the movements of the Mu Yang Sect, but there is indeed no one from the Mu Yang Sect here, unless..."

Unless the person who comes has a high level of cultivation, like this old man Tang.

Those present are all foundation-building disciples of the Wuling Sect. They have been traveling for many years and are experienced. If they have similar cultivation levels, the people of the Muyang Sect should not be able to avoid their ears and eyes. But if the pill-forming monks of Muyang Sect were hiding nearby, they would not be able to find them with these foundation-building disciples.

"Well, in that case, the people who came to Mu Yangzong really didn't come. Otherwise, they wouldn't have kept the child to this day, so..."

As Old Man Tang was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of horns. It seemed that the Jin army was about to launch a new offensive.

A Wuling disciple flew up to the top of the mountain with a long sword. When he saw Old Man Tang, he jumped down and said eagerly: "Uncle Tang, the enemy has gone too far. Li Mao's son previously The marshal of the Jin army was shot to death with one arrow in front of the battle, but the enemy family used tricks behind the scenes to bring the marshal back to life. Now they are about to dispatch the entire army, and it seems that they want to capture Luo Luo in one go. Jingcheng, not only that, they also sent a group of troops in advance to take a detour and set up an ambush. It seems that they are preparing to intercept and kill those who are fleeing from Luojing City. They are probably going for the child..."

"Enemies!" The coldness on Old Man Tang's face became a little more intense, "How brave! You dare to use such methods. It doesn't matter, I am going to the city right now. Even if there are people from Mu Yangzong here, what can I do? !”

After getting into the car, Old Man Tang asked again.

"By the way, what's the child's name?"

"Li Jian."
