Chapter 5: Residual Gasp

airplanes

With a flash of brilliance, the figure of Tu Lintian appeared in the open space not far from the gate of Liangshan City.

"Ah, it's the lord of the city. ”

"The city lord is back, the city lord is back!"

"Thank you Lord for saving your life!" The surviving monks were rarely excited when they saw the arrival of the heavens, and this escape from death had rekindled their desire for life.

And all of this was obviously thanks to the triumphant city lord in front of them.

"Meet the Castle Lord!"

After all, they were battle-hardened monks, and they suppressed their excitement and still saluted to the heavens.

Tu Lintian took two steps forward and waved his hand, motioning for them to get up.

"Poof. ”

Before the monks could get up, a mouthful of blood spurted out of the sky, and their bodies staggered, almost falling to the ground.

"City Lord!"

"Lord of the Castle!"

"The lord of the castle is wounded!"

"Quickly help the city lord to go back to his house and rest. ”

Tu Lintian knelt on the ground, wiped some of the blood from the corners of his mouth, and then stood up with the support of the two monks, waved his hand at them, and said, "Don't panic, it's just a little injury, it won't kill me." ”

"It's because of us, it's to save us...... Brother Sun Qing and the city lord both ......" Someone among the monks spoke, he opened his mouth, he wanted to inform Du Lintian of Sun Qing's last words, but he still didn't say it.

Hearing Sun Qing's name, Tu Lintian's eyes dimmed a little, and said: "Sun Qing, he sacrificed himself and protected you, if you don't want to live up to Sun Qing, you can ......."

Tu Lintian wanted to say "save his life well", but he couldn't say it either, he looked at the faces of these warriors in front of him, some of them joined the city guards in order to obtain the resources of the monks, some were originally guards of the city lord's mansion, and some were recruited by some monks.

The lives of these people are alive at this moment, but I don't know that in a few days, or even a dozen hours, they will close their eyes forever.

When they appeared here, it had already proved that they had already made the decision to live and die with Liangshan City.

"We understand that we are now not only carrying our own lives, but also the lives of Brother Sun Qing, so for this reason, before I die in battle, I must pull a few more damn barbarians on my back. One of the monks said, tears already glistening with tears in his eyes.

"Yes, kill a few more barbarians. ”

"That's right, those barbarians who killed a thousand knives, next time they go to the battlefield, Lao Tzu is definitely not afraid. ”

Hearing this, Tu Lintian was rarely moved, he patted the shoulders of several monks, nodded, and said, "That's good, Sun Qing's spirit in the sky will definitely be relieved." ”

As he spoke, he took out the Qiankun bag, handed it to one of the monks, and said, "This is ...... It's Sun Qing's body, you take it to the general's grave and bury it thickly......"

Hearing this, the monk's hands trembled and stretched out, and the Qiankun bag, which was less than weight, was extremely heavy in the monk's eyes.

He finally took it, nodded vigorously, and then was speechless, but his eyes were moist.

"After a big battle, it is not easy for you," Tu Lintian turned his head, looked at the already clear sky outside, sighed, and said: "We have been calm for the time being, but the next storm, I don't know when it will come back, but it will definitely not give us too much respite," he looked at the surviving monks, and continued: "You should take good care of your body, and if you are injured, you should heal as soon as possible to ensure your condition." ”

"Our remaining forces are getting smaller and smaller, and we can't afford to lose the slightest at this moment. ”

"Yes, we understand, it's just your body, Lord Castle Lord, ......"

Tu Lintian shook his head and said, "I'm fine, just a little minor injury, and I will recover in a few days." Go ahead. ”

"In that case, let's step back first. The monks said, and then they departed one after another.

Watching the monks leave, Tu Lintian also walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.

It's just halfway through that his figure staggers again.

"Gross. ”

Another mouthful of blood spurted out, and the color of the blood was not so bright red, and even had a not-so-deep black.

"Uh......" Tu Lintian leaned against the wall, moving forward step by step.

Fortunately, there were almost no civilians in Liangshan City, and some civilians hid at home and did not go out, even if the war ended, the news did not spread so quickly, and even at this time they did not know that the city lord personally went out of the city to participate in the battle.

"Is it still too much of a burden, it seems, fighting while maintaining the operation of the circle...... Even fighting against the barbarians of the Shifting Pulse Realm is so hard......" Tu Lintian muttered to himself.

Originally, with his physical condition, he was not suitable to participate in any battle, but if he didn't make a move this time, the more than 100 monks outside the city would only be slaughtered before his eyes, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore and still took action.

The fuse of all this was actually Sun Qing's death.

Sun Qing is not only Tu Lintian's childhood playmate, but also a friend of life and death, and even Tu Lintian personally saved Sun Qing's life, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the two are best friends in life.

But Sun Qing died in front of his eyes like that, which made it difficult for him to accept.

But the current situation is too critical for him to be sentimental.

In fact, with the increasing frequency and bloodshed of wars in this area of the Yunhai Mountain Range, the spiritual power of heaven and earth, which was not rich in heaven and earth, had long been exhausted.

As several nearby cities were breached and the city protection array collapsed, the only remaining spiritual power of heaven and earth was finally completely dispersed, and it was not felt a little.

Because of this, it stands to reason that after that, the city protection array of Liangshan City should not be able to operate at all, but it still continued to operate, as if it had not been affected, and nearly ten days had passed.

And all this is because Tu Lintian used his spiritual power to barely maintain the operation of the city protection circle.

The spiritual power of the heaven and earth itself is naturally not as strong as the spiritual power of heaven and earth, although it is a thin spiritual power of heaven and earth, it is still slightly inferior.

For this reason, Tu Lintian even maintained the operation of the city protection circle at the cost of his own vitality.

Even if he doesn't fight any more and doesn't suffer any injuries, he won't have much time left.

Tu Lintian has already come to his senses, although he is so desperate, he can't wait for help from any force at all, but he is defending the city, it is no longer for the emperor, nor for himself, he still has the last thing he wants to accomplish.

That incident was the only motivation to keep him alive.

The city protection array, which can envelop the entire Liangshan City, can also attack in addition to a single defense, and is very flexible, but now only relying on the spiritual power of Tu Lintian alone, the strength to support the defense alone is a drop in the bucket.

With the spiritual power and vitality of one person, the defensive strength of the magic circle is incomparable, and because of this, this barbarian attack requires Tu Lintian to go out of the city in person, in case the people outside the city can't resist, and the barbarian soldiers come to the city, they will find that the repulsion of the magic circle against them is far less strong than before, and maybe they will choose to storm in, making Tu Lintian's plan unsuccessful.

For this reason, at the back gate of Liangshan City, this time Tu Lintian sent the remaining more than 200 monks to guard, in the past, or when the spiritual power of heaven and earth was used to maintain the magic circle, the defense of the back city was stronger than the main gate, and there was no need to worry too much about Tu Lintian.

But now it's different, for some reason, the barbarian side has also strengthened the attack on the back gate of Liangshan City, so that Tu Lintian has to send another person to guard it, and make some monks who are still in a complete state pour spiritual power into the magic circle to strengthen its defense.

"Now, we must return to the center of the circle and return the treasure to its place, otherwise, the city protection circle will soon collapse......." Tu Lintian muttered as he looked at the scroll in his hand.

It turned out that before leaving the city in the sky, for the sake of insurance, he brought out the magic weapon of the center of the magic circle to ensure that his trip was foolproof.

Because he knew that his state was no longer perfect, in case he faced the commander of the barbarian clan or even a higher-level commander, he might not have the ability to retreat with his whole body, and besides, he went out of the city this time to bring back the surviving monks intact, not to fight.

And the magic weapon of the center of the magic circle, the Star Shifting Scroll, already has the power to fight and move the stars and control the space.

Although it is only a glimpse of the mystery of space, it is enough to be used by the heavens.

It's just that in recent years, it has been used as a medium by the city protection circle to overdraft too seriously, and the spiritual loss in it is too much, just the power of the complete magic weapon of the Star Shifting Scroll a hundred years ago can even try to transfer the entire Liangshan City.

He was already very cautious when he returned to the city, he did not let any of the monks accompany him, even though he was unstable, and he chose a remote path that almost guaranteed that no one would find him.

However, he still missed a step.

Ever since the monk left the city gate, one of them had blocked the perception of the heavens, followed him all the way here, and sensed his intentions.

It was a monk he had brought back, and at the moment, he was hiding behind the wall of a house not far from the sky.

The human monk was no different at the moment, but at the bottom of his eyes, there was a light purple light at this moment, and then he left.

All this, even if it is in the sky, is not noticed.

Soon, Tu Lintian walked to an altar located in the rear of Liangshan City, the altar was slightly ancient, there was a faint fluorescence emerging from it, and there were four passages made of Tianjin, which were directly connected to the pillars of heaven in all directions of Liangshan City.

These four pillars of heaven are also the cornerstones of the manifestation and protection array.

Tu Lintian stepped forward and placed the Moving Star Scroll in the center of the altar, and the altar, which had already been dimmed, seemed to be revitalized again, with a little starlight centered on the altar and the Heavenly Golden Pillar as the medium, pouring into the four-sided pillar of heaven that had been full of cracks.

Buzzing.

A light sound came from the center of the altar, and the star-shifting scroll that had been poured into the spiritual power by the Heavenly Movement had once again become the pillar of the city protection array, and it had also become the last hope for the people in this Liangshan City.

"The next time, the moment when you use the Shifting Star Scroll again will also be the moment when this protective circle collapses. ”

In the heart of the heavens, he said silently.
