In Licheng, smoke and dust were billowing, and the corpses of the soldiers who defended the city were everywhere.
Wang Anye, the Jiedu envoy of Longyou Dao, the head of the Wang clan in Licheng, and the lord of Licheng City, looked pale as he stood on the tallest Anle Tower in the city, looking at the city wall that had been opened with a bang, and the millions of troops rushing into the city, with a look on his face. Unbelievable.
From the time the opponent started to attack the city until now, in just half an hour, a section of hundreds of meters of the city wall that had stood for four hundred years had been destroyed. The army outside the city poured into Li city in a mighty manner. In the city!
Many of the city guard sergeants who were originally deployed on the city wall were directly shocked to death, or were buried underneath by the collapsed city wall.
According to what the messenger said, all of this was only because of the large iron pipe-like weapons in the so-called Western Expeditionary Army.
It is said that these weapons can emit thunderous flames, with the force of thunder, hitting the city wall and immediately blasting a huge hole!
After the rolling thunder just like a bolt from the blue, Wang Anye saw with his own eyes that the city wall collapsed in front of him, sending up smoke and dust that filled the sky and filled almost half of Licheng.
Behind him, the singers were even singing and dancing.
Then came the shouts of killing, and the occasional sound of thunder, and a slightly smaller crisp sound, as if thousands of people were cracking whips.
It stands to reason that even if the city wall collapses, the hundreds of thousands of elite infantry in the city can at least block the inner city for a few days and nights.
But the reality is that amid the intensive sound of whips, Wang Anye saw with his own eyes the banners of the "King of Longyou Dao Jiedu Envoy" and "King of Licheng" in the direction of the city wall retreating one after another, as if he was being chased away. Same.
Many others just fell down, and it was obvious that the soldiers holding the flags were killed in the blink of an eye.
The entire Licheng garrison was defeated like a mountain!
Looking at the smoke and dust that was constantly spreading from the direction of the city wall, which had covered half of the city, several counselors and ministers beside him were anxious and quickly advised:
"Master, the thieves are powerful, and they also have witchcraft. There is no guarantee in Licheng, so please consider the long term!"
"Your Majesty, please leave the green hills without worrying about having no firewood to burn. Please hurry up and leave!"
"We will transfer to Xijing. With the support of the Xijing court, it will be easy to take back Licheng!"
"Please give me your order!"
Looking at the shouts of killing in the smoke and dust, he could already see some general flags such as "I am here in person", "Zhenbei General Ji", "Fujun right guard commander Cai" and so on. Wang Anye's eyes were dull, his lips opened and closed, Make a small sound.
The counselor next to him immediately came over, and then he heard Wang Anye's trembling voice clearly:
"How could it be so fast...how could it be so fast..."
This is Licheng, which has stood for four hundred years and has never been attacked! And there are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the city!
"Boom!" There was an explosion, and a bolt of fireball-like light suddenly flew from the smoke and dust in the distance, penetrated into a watchtower not far from Anle Building, and instantly blew the watchtower into pieces, and the flames Ascend.
This loud noise seemed to finally wake Wang Anye up from his shock. He shrank his neck like a frightened chicken, looked at the ruins of the watchtower, and asked the people next to him:
"Where is General Qi Yuanyang!?"
That Qi Yuanyang was one of his generals, a master of the fourth realm of super-level transformation, and the strongest warrior in the entire city. There were also many people from the nine surnames, ten clans and various vassal towns around him. Elite support.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure flying backwards from the smoke and dust in front, smashing into the Anle Building with a "boom", and landed on the top floor where Wang Anye was, even hitting a beam and column. It was shattered, and the house was in a mess.
A counselor with a goatee gave a high-pitched cry:
"General Qi!"
Everyone looked intently and realized that the person who was blasted hundreds of steps and crashed directly into the Anle Building from the ground was none other than Qi Yuanyang, the chief general of Licheng!
Everyone rushed over to help Qi Yuanyang up, and saw that his chest was now a mess of blood and flesh, with an iron ball the size of a watermelon embedded in it.
The iron ball was still burning red at this time, burning the flesh and blood on Qi Yuanyang's chest until the skin was charred and the flesh was rotten, and he didn't know how many bones inside were broken.
Qi Yuanyang spurted a mouthful of blood, pushed the iron ball away, struggled to stand up, and said to Wang Anye:
"Your Majesty, most of Licheng has fallen. Please leave the city quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
At this time, not only did his sternum and ribs break seven or eight times, but one of his legs was also broken, and he was desperately trying to restore the real power in his body.
Wang Anye looked at the embarrassed look of Qi Yuanyang, who was almost invincible in his mind, and couldn't help but murmured:
"General Qi... what on earth is this... where are the reinforcements from the three Uburgs?"
Only half an hour has passed since the Western Expeditionary Army of the puppet emperor Li Yun attacked the city. Even if the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army rushed into the city gate and wanted to cover half of the entire Licheng City, it would still take this time.
Now he's defeated?
Qi Yuanyang glanced at the street below and saw two men wearing armor and holding thick cannon barrels, as well as a dense crowd of soldiers holding iron pipes behind them. He couldn't help but sigh and said with a wry smile:
"The nine generals of the Western Expeditionary Army all have the power of martial saints. The weapons in their hands are even more skillful and powerful. The soldiers and civilians in the city thought they were soldiers from heaven, and most of them had already fallen."
Even Qi Yuanyang himself seemed to be in a dream at this time and couldn't believe this fact.
The strength of the Western Expeditionary Army under the pseudo-emperor Li Yun simply exceeded his imagination.
How can we fight with nine martial saints, plus the magic weapon called "artillery" and "musket" by the opponent?
Hearing this, Wang Anye and all the counselors were frightened, and they fully understood how powerful the Western Expeditionary Army was.
Wang Anye quickly turned around and said:
"Go! Go! Go! Follow me to Xijing quickly! When we get to Xijing, we will have the support of three major martial arts holy places, so we can still fight! General Qi, it all depends on you!"
Qi Yuanyang gave another wry smile, pointed towards the street outside Anle Building, and said:
"Your Majesty, it's too late, we can't escape."
Wang Anye and others looked along his fingers and saw on the street below, several warriors suspended in mid-air with majestic faces, who had arrived downstairs in Anle!
Behind them, countless soldiers of the Western Expedition rushed through Anle Building in neat order and headed towards various parts of Licheng.
I saw "Zhenbei General Ji" standing behind a general. It was Ji Yunpeng who had recently become famous.
Ji Yunpeng rose into the air and walked up step by step along the outer edge of Anle Building. The cannon in his hand was like a huge iron rod, and the black muzzle was intimidating.
Feeling the Martial Saint's domineering energy released from the opponent's body, Wang Anye and others felt their legs weaken for a while and could no longer stand. They were forced to kneel down on the spot.
Qi Yuanyang also showed a wry smile, understanding that the opponent's power was beyond his ability to compete with, and he also knelt down on one knee, preparing to surrender.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yunpeng didn't even look at them, and just walked straight to the roof of Anle Building, and then the sound was like a loud bell, and the sound waves rolled away in all directions of the entire Licheng:
"Emperor Shunlong, the Holy Son of Heaven, has issued an edict to conquer the puppet court in the west. He will only kill the top evildoers of the nine and ten surnames. The others will be regarded as the people of the Wu Kingdom. As long as they sincerely worship the Holy Son of Tomorrow, let bygones be bygones. Thank you for this!"
In Licheng, the people and soldiers who defended the city fell to their knees one after another, chanting "Long Live the Emperor" and kowtowing devoutly in the direction of the capital!
…
In the sky over the northern desert, Li Yun felt the imperial energy constantly pouring in the void, and understood that this was obviously the Western Expeditionary Army that had captured a huge city and important town, and at least subdued all the soldiers and civilians!
And these Imperial Qi also successfully helped him advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and at the same time helped him block the attacks coming from all directions, and even deflected many enemies.
Feeling the surging spiritual power in his body at this time, Li Yun smiled. A large amount of spiritual power poured into the heaven-refining furnace, and a huge cauldron suddenly appeared in the void.
The next moment, Bai Sheng, a disciple of the Bone Forest Immortal Sect who was in front of Li Yun, was caught off guard and had been put into the cauldron.
Before anyone could react, a blazing spiritual fire suddenly ignited in the Heaven Refining Furnace!
In the Heaven Refining Furnace, Bai Sheng let out a shrill scream, and several foundation-level rays of light rose up from his body, and then there was no sound at all.
This is also the attack method of the Heavenly Refining Furnace that Li Yun just came up with in the past few days. Although this thing can only open the first level and use it to refine elixirs and weapons, it can also refine people.
No matter what your trump card is in the foundation building stage or the golden elixir stage, as long as you enter the heaven refining furnace, I will burn it to ashes!
The disadvantage of the Heaven Refining Furnace is that it is troublesome to stuff people into it, which can lead to surprise, and it consumes too much spiritual energy to refine people. In the blink of an eye, most of Li Yun's spiritual energy was consumed.
However, Li Yun didn't panic at all. Before the surrounding pursuers could react, he immediately put away the stove and stepped on the flying sword to once again turn into a stream of light and escape.
As long as the Western Expedition continues to regain vassal towns all over the world and new people worship him as the emperor, he will have a steady stream of spiritual power transformed from imperial energy.
The more you fight, the stronger you become!
Li Yun's current goal is to be directly promoted to Foundation Establishment and capture these elite disciples of the Spirit Realm Immortal Sect alive!
"Chase!"
Behind him, Yue Han gritted his teeth and shouted, and a group of six disciples of the Immortal Sect turned into streams of light again and chased after him.
