The young man was still rubbing the iron bow like a treasure.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance.

The man looked in the direction from which the voice came, and there stood a man as if to say something, and the joy and excitement on the faces of those who surrounded him froze for an instant, and then replaced by endless anger, sadness, and despair.

That sentiment spread through the city through the dense crowd, and finally reached the ears of men and young men.

"The city lord said that he couldn't hold the city from Mingcheng...... Even if we all die here, we won't be able to hold on......"

The noisy sound was passed on by word of mouth and into everyone's ears.

Those words are too light and ethereal, even if thousands of sentences add up, they don't have any weight.

However, that sentence was full of power, like a sharp knife, piercing everyone's chest, and slashing everyone's heart.

Such a blow came too suddenly, and such pain made people too desperate.

Even the city lord who presided over the defense affairs had already asserted that he couldn't defend the Ming City, so what was the point of fighting here?

Anyway, in the end, it was the same result, it was the loss of Liming City, and it was the defeat of everyone.

An atmosphere of panic and despair enveloped the entire city in an instant.

The people who had been elated and discussing what to do after the intruders were repelled sat in despair and with a dead gray face.

Some are shaking, some are crying, and some are already retreating.

Why do you have to do something that is bound to fail, and what's the point of persevering like this?

It's better to run, escape from here, and escape to other uninhabited places, the ghost country is so big, there will always be corners that no one will find. Hiding there may be a glimmer of life.

"Walking, walking, there's no point, it's useless for us to stay here. ”

Someone got up and started shouting for his friend to leave.

More and more people are retreating, they are going to die anyway, it is better to go to Blackwater City and be with their families before this.

Liming City was a mess, and the noisy voices and hoarse cries were mixed together.

A dense flow of people poured towards the west gate of the city, leaving from the west gate and going home.

The man's gaze retracted from the distance and fell near.

The young man was still sitting beside him, with a large iron bow in his hand, and looked into the distance with a sluggish expression.

"Is it all true?" asked the young man suddenly, with a look of earnestness, as if begging the man to tell him that the words that were circulating in the city were false.

The man didn't speak, just nodded slowly.

There was no possibility of holding Ming City, and he knew the result from the beginning.

The young man's body seemed to be frozen, stiffened for a long time, tears welled up in his eyes, his fists were clenched tightly, and his voice was full of trembling: "Why, why ......"

"Why did they come to invade us?" the young man's eyes began to sink into a trace of blood, "Why do we try so hard, but we still can't keep our home?"

The man pondered for a moment before he said seriously: "You can't just work hard to accomplish everything. ”

"Why are you so calm, as if nothing happened!" the young man roared with wide eyes as he looked at the big hero in front of him.

The man looked at the young man and was silent for a long time before he suddenly smiled a little and said, "Because all this is a matter of course." ”

The young man sat down on the roof of the house as if he had been drained of all his strength, his eyes full of gloom, like the constant flow of people in the city towards the west gate, full of despair.

The young man silently lowered his big iron bow and jumped off the roof, blending in with the crowd surging through the streets, surging with them towards the west.

The man looked at the young man's distant back, his expression was a little sad, he didn't know why the City Lord's Mansion would spread such news, but it didn't matter, no matter how many people were still holding on to the city, he would definitely not take half a step back.

The murder he had committed should be retributed only on him, not on his wife, daughter, or grandson.

He must protect them, even if they cause more sins.

The man silently ate the bun in his hand, then clapped his hands, slapped away the stained scraps, reached out and grasped the cold iron bow, and then stood up.

He looked up at the sky.

The bright brilliance in the sky was full of the light of those Six Realms cultivators' attacks, and the great array of defending the city had been suppressed to the point that it could only be passively defended, and even the strength to counterattack was completely gone.

Looking at the vibration amplitude of that pale cyan transparent air cover, the man knew that it would not be long before this line of defense from Ming City collapsed.

But he didn't care, he held the bow tightly in his left hand, twisted an arrow steadily with his right hand, and then slowly wound it, and stretched the big iron bow to the full moon.

His gaze was as sharp as a falcon, and he had already found his target without the slightest hesitation, and as soon as the bowstring was loosened, the arrow had already roared out!

Xuanguang soared into the sky, and the black aura wrapped around the body of the arrow jumped like flames, manifesting into angry beasts, roaring and roaring, dragging hundreds of zhang long brilliance in the void, piercing through the pale cyan air cover, shuttling through the layers of overlapping attacks, and then shooting into the sea of people above.

The arrow came too violently, too suddenly.

"Poof——!

There was a soft thud, and a small hole was shot in the chest by the arrow.

The look on his face froze for an instant, and the sound of "clicking" continued to come from all over his body, and then with a dull "bang", he turned into a mist of blood, and the flesh and blood stained the clothes of the neighboring monks.

Everyone looked at the trajectory of the arrow, which was not far ahead, and it was divided into eight.

"Bang-"

"Bang-"

"Bang-"

……

Seven soft sounds came from nearby one after another, as if it were a flower, and seven blood-colored flowers surrounded the blood-colored flowers in the center, each of which was extremely delicate.

"One, three, five. The man said softly, but his chest was rising and falling violently, and when the ups and downs of his chest subsided, a smear of black blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and the light in his eyes dimmed a little in an instant.

In the City Lord's Mansion in the distance, Yan Tianjun couldn't help but smile slightly as he watched the arrow bloom a flower in the sky.

All those who enter the ghost kingdom from the Six Realms must make a register for management, and the inhabitants of the ghost kingdom will not know what is unusual about these people, but as the lord of the city, they must know what kind of people live in their own city.

Lin Bo strode to Yan Tianjun's side, and said eagerly: "City Lord, the order in the city has gotten out of control, and they all want to leave, like this...... It's impossible to stay away from Ming City until dark like this!"

Yan Tianjun just nodded calmly and said, "I know, you go down." ”

Lin Bo was stunned for a long time before he said, "City Lord......"

"I can't afford despair, I can't defend here, just let them scatter all over the ghost country, okay......" Yan Tianjun said and snorted slightly, but did not say any more.

Lin Bo's expression showed a bit of panic, although Yan Tianjun did not finish his words, but the meaning had already been clearly expressed, Yan Tianjun wanted them to scatter all over the ghost country to continue to delay time, and use their lives to delay even a moment's time!

"City Lord!" Lin Bo gritted his teeth fiercely.

Yan Tianjun waved his sleeves, signaling that Lin Bo didn't have to say any more.

Lin Bo stomped his foot fiercely and said, "I'm going to block the city gate!"

Once so many people in the ghost country are scattered, it will be a scattered sand, there is no effective organization, no barriers, no mutual support, and facing the monks of the Six Realms, it will be a human tragedy.

Rather than this, it is better to block them all in Liming City, so ...... I can live a few more moments!

"Can you block it?" Yan Tianjun's voice came from behind Lin Bo, the sound was not loud, but it shocked Lin Bo for a while.

Can't be blocked, can't be blocked at all.

Desperate crowds gathered at the West Gate, and once the gates were blocked and they were not allowed to leave, it was ...... It is bound to be the collapse of Liming City from the inside.

No matter how strong the city is, once the interior begins to mess up, it will not be far from falling.

The young man swayed desperately in the crowd, being sandwiched between the people in front and behind, and without a sense of self.

The young man's mind was in turmoil, and it was his family, his friends, that came to mind.

He was born in an extremely ordinary family, and I don't know from which generation his family has had no connection with cultivation at all, and has always made a living from farming.

He was the only one in his family who could practice, and although he wasn't a genius in cultivation, he was also proud of his parents because of it.

He also has a little sister who is only seven years old this year.

That little girl, who especially likes to stick to him, is like a little tail that can't be shaken off, and follows him all day long.

That little girl has always regarded him as the most powerful person in the world.

When he and his family began to leave the house, the little girl looked at her parents with wide innocent eyes: "Why are we leaving home?"

"For a wicked man is coming. My father's answer was plain.

"Brother will protect us, right?" the little girl looked at him, full of pride, full of pride, without the slightest suspicion.

It was that kind of look that made him quietly leave his home and make him blend into Liming City.

But he was not able to protect his parents, his sister.

It's too desperate and too heartless.

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into the flesh, the pain didn't make him react in any way, he was already numb.

"How-"

There was a clear roar behind him, and a dark light bloomed in the sky.

The light was a little abrupt, a little lonely, but it stood proudly between heaven and earth, without retreating.

The young man's heart tightened, and he knew where and who the light was coming from.

He didn't know why that man was so calm, and he knew that the fall of Liming City would be unstoppable, but he was still here waiting for destruction.

Destruction in anticipation, that would be cruel.

"How-how-"

As if to echo that Xuan Guang, rays of light rose from all corners of Liming City and rushed into the sky.

They weren't as capable of blooming blood-colored flowers as that Xuanguang, and they were even engulfed by the colorful light as soon as they left the Great Array of Liming City, but they still existed proudly.

The young man looked at the hundreds of rays of light rising in Liming City, and his spirit was a little trance-like.

He saw that many people were stopping, all looking at the lonely light in the sky, and a few wisps of confusion and confusion appeared on their desperate faces.

The young man looked ahead, and the gate was already on the west side of the city, and from there he could go to his family—and die with them.

The young man's face was distorted with pain, and tears blurred his vision.

"Brother will protect us, right?"

The little girl's face resurfaced again, that face was full of innocent childishness, and those eyes were full of unreasonable trust and worship.

She's still so young, and she's still curious about the world.

She loved to fly kites, and every spring she pestered him to go to the ridge and run for a day until she could no longer run.

She likes to eat rock sugar gourds, and every time she sees someone selling rock sugar gourds, she pesters her father and mother to buy one, but she keeps the biggest and sweetest one for herself.

She still has a lot of wishes that have not been fulfilled, she still wants to marry a big hero like her brother, she also wants to take a look in every corner of the beautiful mountains and rivers, and she even wants to go to the legendary Six Realms to see what it looks like outside......

How could he make her ...... Just to die?

The young man clenched his fists, and his joints made a "snapping" sound, and he turned pale.

The young man took a deep breath, wiped his eyes vigorously, then turned around, pushed through the crowd, and walked in the direction he had come.

"What are you doing, what are you doing!" someone scolded angrily.

"I'm going back, I'm going back!" the young man's voice trembled, pushing away those who stood in his way.

"It's the other way around!" some people thought that the young man was too short to see the direction clearly, "the city gate is over there!"

"Didn't go back!" the young man responded, the choked sobs in his voice gradually subsided, "I'm going back to fight, I'm going to stay!"

"Death to death!" someone sneered.

"I'm just going to die!" the young man replied stubbornly, walking faster and faster, without hesitation anymore, and even his voice became extremely steady and firm, "I'm going to die here, I'm going to fight to protect my family!"

"If you die, you won't necessarily be able to protect your family. A slightly cold voice came, and a middle-aged man stood on the roof beside the road, looking at the young man, with a strange light in his eyes.

"At least ......," the young man paused slightly, then shouted angrily, "at least I didn't turn my back to the enemy, at least ...... I'm still trying to get a glimmer of hope with my life! How can I go back, take a step back...... It's our home!"
