A wine shop in the mountains and forests of a border town outside Xishagu and Poppy City

The loess is long, the peaks of the mountains rise, Dongfang Ziyan and the six of them found this small wine shop in the loess mountains of Xishagu, and they are resting, starting from the Dangyang realm, they spent two days to come to the boundary of Xishagu, and it took four days of hard work through the hinterland of Xishagu, and now it has reached the western border of the Hongjun Empire in Xishagu, where the climate is harsh and the air is dry, it is the end of winter, the temperature is high during the day, but it can freeze to death at night, and the temperature difference between day and night is particularly large.

It was getting dark, and the owner of the tavern lit the lamp to illuminate the guests. Sitting cross-legged on the floor, the parchment map he had brought with him was spread on the table, and he and Rhein Gruss drank and looked at it carefully.

"See, there is only a southeast direction around the poppy city, that is, the small area we stand on has undulating mountainous terrain, and beyond that, there is an endless Xishagu Plain, once the city is broken, the Black Stone Demon Clan will have no one to stop them, and they can even break through the Xishagu City Pass one after another in one breath and invade the Hilbas realm." The Holy Phoenix stared at the map, anxiety in his eyes.

"The Hilbas field is located on the dividing line between the north and the south, and if you go north, you can join forces with the doomsday coalition forces in the northern theater to attack the imperial capital Chihong City, and if you go south, you can attack the cities of Nanjun and the water-stopping city-state with the enemy army in the south, and the water-stopping city-state will be broken, and the human race will also pass away." Rhein Gruss said thoughtfully.

"The Battle of Poppy City may be a turning point in the battle of life and death." Shenghuang nodded, "If you win, the efforts of the various departments of Zema will be lost, and if you lose, the human race will face a real catastrophe." ”

"We need to think about it in the long term." Rhein said.

When the two were negotiating the military, Dongfang Ziyan did not participate, but kept looking at the shop in the counter.

"Shopkeeper, now everyone knows that Poppy City will become a place of war, and many businessmen in nearby towns have abandoned their ancestral businesses and left their hometowns with old women and children, why are you still open?" Dongfang Ziyan came to the counter with a bowl of wine and asked.

The owner of the wine shop was a man who looked old, he listened to Dongfang Ziyan's words, first smiled, and then said, "I am lonely, I am the only one left in the bitter cold at home, and I have no worries, besides, since I was born here, I must not turn my back on my hometown, how can I be the person who hugs his head when the country is broken?" ”

"Well said!" After Ximen Cangyue listened, her hands clapped and applauded, Shangguan Wen and Schindler sat beside her, watching them talk, without saying a word, only Schindler and a woman kept drinking.

"The guest officer is serious." The shopkeeper saluted Ximen Cangyue.

"I admire you so much, I toast you." Dongfang Ziyan raised his glass and said, the shopkeeper saw Dongfang Ziyan raise a glass to invite, and hurriedly found a wine glass and poured wine to drink the glass together.

"Dare to ask, Your Excellency is young, why did you come here to be in danger." The shopkeeper wiped his mouth with his sleeve, put down his wine glass and said, his eyes glanced at the Holy Phoenix and Rhine, who were studying the topographical map of the mountains and rivers.

"Come to protect the country and kill the enemy, as a child of the human race, when I see the invasion of foreign races, I should die and sacrifice my life for the country." Dongfang Ziyan stared at the shopkeeper's old eyes, and for some reason, a dangerous aura arose spontaneously.

"That's naturally good, even if it's worth sacrificing one's life for the country." The shopkeeper's tone suddenly became cold, and there was a gloomy aura in his words, Dongfang Ziyan's eyes showed a little purple streamer, staring at the shopkeeper's face full of smiles, but it was full of wrinkles, Dongfang Ziyan opened his mouth, thinking about what to say to him.

At this moment, faintly, Dongfang Ziyan pricked up his ears and seemed to hear some strange sounds, which seemed to come from afar, echoing in the mountains and fields, like some kind of roar, everyone seemed to hear it, except for this shop.

"Wenwen." Dongfang Ziyan turned around and came to the table, "Did you hear that?" ”

"yes, I heard you." Shangguan Wen nodded lightly.

"Isn't it...... Siege behemoths? Dongfang Ziyan asked softly, his eyes wide.

"I only smell blood, the disaster in Poppy City is coming, we have to go!" Rhein Gruss grabbed the map on the other table and hurriedly put it away.

Suddenly, I heard the shopkeeper come out from behind the counter, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and it was this smile that made everyone stand up, and Schindler was a little drunk and walked a little unsteadily.

Dongfang Ziyan pulled out the long knife on his waist, the light washed the long white blade, he looked at the old man of the shopkeeper, and said, "How can there be a wine shop in such a wilderness and forest, besides, this Xishagu area close to the border has always been a military area, even if there is a country town, there will be no such business place, show your true body, Lord Demon God......"

The shopkeeper stopped laughing sarcastically, his whole body came out with a black strange aura, his whole body melted into the darkness, rolled up flying sand and stones, this wine shop was destroyed, everyone resisted the impact of darkness, scattered in all directions, the wine shop disappeared in this dark whirlwind, with the whirlwind of black air swirling, a tall man appeared in front of everyone, with long silver hair and black cloak.

"It's you, Magog." Saint Huang said coldly.

"Yo Yo Yo, isn't this His Majesty the Spirit Emperor of the Garo Spirit Clan? There are also the Thirteen Judges, the Lord of the Day...... Tsk tsk. Ma Ge said in a weird way, and then he turned around and said viciously to Dongfang Ziyan, "Dongfang Ziyan! You're so good that you can see through my disguise. ”

"You're wrong," Dongfang Ziyan said faintly with a long knife in his hand, "I really didn't see through your disguise, I guessed just now, but I didn't expect you to expose your true body, and I can't complain about me." ”

Ma Ge snorted coldly, and then without saying anything, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and pointed at Shangguan Wen.

Siphon!

The fantastic seven-colored halo swirled out from Magog's hand and attacked straight at Shangguan Wen!

"Wenwen!" Dongfang Ziyan quickly took the brunt of the rush to block the fantastic halo, and suddenly his body seemed to be electrocuted, he screamed, the long knife in his hand almost fell off his hand, and his body was "sucked" by Magog, and blood oozed from the pores of his body.

"Hey! Are you okay! Ximen Cangyue and the others were shocked, and Shenghuang's face changed, but he didn't make a move.

Magog stretched out his hand to catch Dongfang Ziyan, and then lifted him in the air, "Dongfang Ziyan, you don't hesitate to sacrifice your life to protect that female doll, is it worth it?" ”

"Do you think everyone is as ruthless as you Black Stone Demons, femme fatale!" Dongfang Ziyan coughed up a mouthful of blood and said viciously.

"So what do you say...... She's the Eight Deceitful Gods? Magog smiled and grabbed Dongfang Ziyan's neck hard, making him breathless.

"If you dare to hurt her, I will never spare you!" Dongfang Ziyan shouted and stabbed the long knife in his hand into Ma Ge's black body, but there was no sound of the flesh being pierced, only the sound of stabbing the air.

"I'm not interested in you now." Magog looked at Schindler, Shenghuang and Rhine who were ready to make a move, so she threw Dongfang Ziyan over, Shenghuang stretched out his hand to catch him, and Magog said, "Aren't you going to relieve the siege of Poppy Red City?" I tell you, if you don't make it in a quarter of an hour, the city will be destroyed! ”

"Nonsense, what kind of character is Beiyin Wuji, if he can't even defend a fortified city like Poppy City, then he is a wasted person with a vain name!" Schindler snapped.

"Then you'll see." Magog smiled darkly, lifted the black cloak behind her, and disappeared into a black light.

"Are you alright?" The Holy Phoenix put Dongfang Ziyan on the ground with one hand and asked.

"Oops, when is it, I'm fine! Hurry up and go to the Red City! Dongfang Ziyan shouted.

Rhine took out the Titan airship from his sleeve and put it in the air, and then jumped up first, "Come on!" Before the words fell, everyone boarded the boat, and the airship quickly started and flew in the direction of the poppy city to the west.

Poppy City West Gate Tower

Outside the city wall of the West Gate, seven or eight tall black shadows swayed in the moonlight, and the sound of the earthquake was deafening.

This time, the siege strategy of the Black Stone Demon Clan is still the giant spirit hunt to take the lead, followed by the crossbowmen of the Demon King Imperial Guard Legion, once the city wall is breached by the giant spirit hunt, the Imperial Guard Legion will fire ten thousand arrows, and the arrow cluster with the dark demon light can instantly penetrate the soldier's body and put him to death, and there are a large number of air troops of Imra and Eagle Cavalry as air attack army cover.

At the beginning of the attack on Poppy City, Bei Ming was seriously injured but still insisted on commanding the battle with Bei Ming Wuji in front of the battle, since the defeat of Luoxia Pass, many soldiers of the North Ming family seem to have lost the courage and determination to fight, and when the giant spirit hunt appeared, everyone's face seemed to have fear written on it.

"Where's the mechanical disc cannon? Aim at the head of the giant spirit hunter and bang me! Bei Ming Wuji grabbed one of his subordinates by the collar and shouted.

"Old master! The mechanical disc cannon has no effect on these monsters! Even the bullet of the blood demon can't hit! At most, you can only get stuck in the cracks of these monsters' scales! The subordinate burst into tears, as if he had despaired.

"Fu'er! Fuer!! This man disobeyed military orders! Behead him for me!! Bei Shen Wuji pushed the subordinate to the ground.

"The head of the house! The head of the house spares his life! Tell me bluntly! Guilty of less! ”

Although Bei Mingfu was seriously injured, and the wound was still oozing blood, he suddenly pulled out the three-way sword at his waist, and inserted it into the downstairs exit of the city tower, and then shouted hoarsely, "Didn't you hear what the old master said!" Today we are going to fight the Black Stone Demon to the death! Put all your weapons and equipment to use and hold the south gate until you die! No one is allowed to retreat! Those who dare to cross this sword! Decapitate immediately! ”

The sloppy military heart, after the words of the North Hell's teaching, finally came back to life, on the wide city tower, tens of thousands of soldiers raised the weapons in their hands, and the sound shook the sky!

At the same time, the giant spirit hunt was already less than five hundred meters away from the city pass.

Bei Ying Fu was about to climb the city wall with another Lethe Sword in his hand, but Bei Ying Wuji stopped him, "Where are you going?" ”

"Against the enemy, I don't believe that this time I can't match these walking dead things." Bei Ying Fu turned around and said.

"You are naturally able to defeat these guys, but last time Margo Meleles secretly plotted against you, you are seriously injured now, I can't let you go into battle, give me the sword, I'll go into battle!" Bei Ming Wuji said sharply.

"Uncle!!" Bei Ming looked at his uncle, who was already old, and looked at the silver-haired man, "I regard you as my biological father, and now when I am in battle, how can I let you go deep into danger!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you come down for me!" Bei Ming Wuji snatched the Lethe Sword, pulled Bei Ying Fu back, jumped up by himself, and stood on top of the high city wall.

"Old master! No! ”

"Old master! You're not as good as you used to be, dangerous! ”

“……”

All the generals shouted to stop them, but no one could stop them.

Bei Ming Fu silently looked at the back of Bei Ming Wuji, at that moment, he finally understood Bei Ming Wuji's thoughts, as a former Wuji sword ghost, he had never lost in his life, even if he fought with the sword god Michaeu Chardins, he also fought a draw, but the last defeat at Luoxia Pass made him lose face, he just wanted to end his life in the battle, otherwise, even if the battle of the Red City was won this time, he would kill himself in his name.

As a result, Bei Ming Fu didn't say anything, just looked at Bei Ming Wuji's back, endured the pain in his abdomen, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and when he raised his head again, he was already in tears, and Bei Ming Wuji had already left the city, Bei Ming Fu was in tears, and he shouted loudly, "Cover the old master!" ”

"Yes!"

Bei Ming Wuji held the Lethe River Sword in his hand, and walked quickly in the air with floating steps, in front of him, the giant spirit hunter who rushed to the front saw him, his sharp eyes were already staring at him, and at the same time, the blade-like blade claws were also ready to move, they were bloodthirsty, if Bei Ming Wuji was caught by him, he would definitely be twisted and eaten alive with his neck broken.

But the Heroes of the Northern Darkness Infinite Hero, how could they be afraid of this kind of monster, how could they put this kind of alchemy monster in their eyes, so before the others arrived, the sword qi wielded in his hand had already shot out, and slashed straight towards the face of the giant spirit hunt.

The Way of the Sword Ghost: Dangerous Sky Slash!

The invisible sword qi carried the power of collapsing mountains and shattering the ground, and completely hit the body of the giant spirit hunt, but only a huge roar was heard, and the giant spirit hunt was unscathed!

"How so?" The gray hair of the North Soul Wuji fluttered slowly in the night wind, and he was dumbfounded.

I saw that the giant spirit hunter folded his hands to block the impact of the blade, except for some sword marks on the scale armor on the back of his hand, it was no big deal.

When did Bei Shen Wuji suffer such a great humiliation, he rushed forward with his sword again, and his figure split into an afterimage in the air, and the giant spirit hunt was naturally dazzled, but at this moment, the giant spirit hunt North Yin Wuji, who was about to attack the back of the head from behind, suddenly screamed, and then fell towards the ground with his chest covered.
