Volume 2 Ukiyo-e Tales Chapter 141 The Beast Tide is Coming
The individual competition came to an end, but the hustle and bustle of Tem City lasted a whole day before it subsided. With the end of the match between Demon He and Ignorant Books, a new generation of dark horses named "Demon He" has appeared in Tem City. When they received the news before, almost everyone thought that the only reason why they didn't know the book was defeated by Demon He was because of their own negligence.
However, in the noise that lasted for a whole day, everyone more or less felt that this was not the case.
I don't know that the family was silent and didn't come forward to give any explanation, which made almost everyone feel uneasy...... After that, they began to hear that after that game, the big people of Tem City went to the residence of Youhe to "visit"
Living in Bao Xing's home, powerful tasks come almost all the time, which makes Bao Xing a little overwhelmed.
Youhe lay quietly on the bed, thinking about it in his heart, and he didn't know who he was talking to.
"In a few days, the wounds should heal. ”
Before the game that didn't know the book, Demon He had calculated, and that was roughly the end of the entire individual competition. When this is done, there will be extra spare time in the doubles match, and he should return to Breeze City right away.
The strange thoughts and uneasiness grew stronger.
"Going?" looked at Youhe, who was packing up his things, Bao Xing wondered.
"Hmm. Demon He nodded: "If it weren't for the fact that my injuries haven't healed, I should have gone back a long time ago." It's been so long now...... It really can't be delayed any longer. ”
"Do you want to go back no matter what?" Bao Xing looked away, thought for a moment and said, "According to the experience you told me about your experience in Qingfeng City, your life there was not stable, and there were still many enemies. But in this Tem City, although you are not the top in Xuanqi, you are the holder of ten consecutive victories in the ring, countless people are watching you, no one will be disrespectful to you, and it is impossible for anyone to bully you. Whatever you want, as long as this Tem City has it, you have it at your fingertips. Why do you insist on going back to a place where you have no power and are in danger?"
This is the first time that Bao Xing has said such things to him. The time that Demon He has been in Tem City for a short time is not long, and it is less than a month to be full, but the experience of this month is far more turbulent than the experience of ordinary people's lives.
That's less than a month...... He participated in the biggest tournament in the whole of Tem City, and won 10 consecutive individual competitions, and his momentum was at the top of the whole Tem City!
Even Xuanli has broken through the third level and has grown earth-shatteringly.
Now, with a ten-game winning streak, he can do whatever he wants in Tem City, and there will be no risk and tribulation...... Frankly speaking, although he was never willing to be under others, he never imagined that he would have such a day and have such a big momentum.
Although Youhe has experienced waves, he is by no means the kind of person who does not like comfort. If he didn't have the concern of Qingfeng City, he would be extremely willing to live a comfortable life like this, and his reputation was so great that everyone knew about it, and no one would like this kind of life.
But since he has the concern of Qingfeng City, it is impossible for him to forget Qingfeng City for the sake of the comfort and glory of Tem City. Even if it wasn't for the sake of the competition and the Mu family's mission, he would not sit back and enjoy comfort now, but would do whatever it took to find a chance to go back. He looked at Bao Xing and said softly, "Yes...... I have to go back no matter what. There are a lot of people who are very important to me, and I can ignore the others, but there is also my sister there, and I have a vague feeling that something bad is going to happen!"
After another half a day, it was finally the day of departure set by Demon He.
The thing that Demon He has been looking forward to the most during this time is to return to Qingfeng City, and when he is at Bao Xing's house, Bao Xing can clearly feel the excitement that Demon He is overflowing.
In the busy fields, a person walks quietly on the road.
With the scorching sun above his head and his feet on the dry ground, the demon grass walked slowly.
Now that he has come to the land of Qingfeng City, he should be excited and happy...... But now, he frowned, and there was no expression of joy at all.
Demon He looked ahead, his brows moved, and suddenly said to himself, "Something is wrong!"
After speaking, Demon He jumped hard and rose into the air, but before his body touched the dead tree, a large city appeared in the far west of his sight. He froze, silently looking at the outline of the city, and a name came to mind.
Is that...... Breeze City!!
Although Qingfeng City is not a big city, the scale is not small, especially its location, which happens to be in the middle of the Beiyi territory, so it is the hub city of the Beiyi Kingdom, with a huge daily flow of people and a lively atmosphere. At this time, it was the morning, and it was the time when a large number of people who stayed in Qingfeng City left the city, and from the direction of the demon he, whether it was the east of the city, the west of the city, the south of the city, or the north of the city, it should be crowded with people......
But at a glance, there is hardly a half-figure visible. In this Qingfeng City, the feeling brought to Demon He at this time seems to be a little lifeless...... And from a distance, it seems to be shrouded in a dim fog.
According to the direction he was in now, Demon He suddenly remembered where he was under his feet.
When he left Qingfeng City and went to Tem City while training, he had passed by here, but this place in his memory was obviously a place of bushes, although it was dead, but at least there was a little bit of life, and there were still quite a few low-level mysterious beasts active here. But now, it is a barren and chaotic mess, as if it has been burned by a sea of fire, and then trampled by thousands of horses.
What's going on?
What really happened in Breeze City?
A strong sense of uneasiness arose in Youhe's heart, and he quickly lowered his brow.
It seems ,,, something is wrong!
Youhe's nerves were gloomy, even in the face of the unknown family, he was full of energy and calm...... At this time, the face of the demon is gloomy and scary. Demon He's brows sank, and he rushed to the west.
"The land here seems to have been destroyed on a large scale. And the atmosphere here seems excessively desolate. Demon He said calmly: "What happened?"
"No, it's not" Youhe frowned, flying faster and faster. He hadn't stayed in Qingfeng City for a long time, but it was the place that changed his fate, and he was the reincarnation system he obtained during his time in Qingfeng City!
It was supposed to be one of the liveliest areas, but it now felt lifeless. The place where he is now is definitely not what it is before...... What the hell is going on here!
Demon He gritted his teeth slightly, trying not to imagine a more terrifying guess than the other.
A terrible speculation that had been bothering him for a long time.
At this time, from a few miles away, he suddenly felt the fluctuation of the faint Xuan Qi, his eyes moved, his speed suddenly slowed down, and he ran towards the position of the Xuan Qi fluctuation.
Several boulders several people high appeared in sight, and behind the broken stones, there were seventeen mysterious power breaths of different strengths. The strongest of these auras is the seventh level of the New Xuan Realm, and the weakest is the first to enter the New Xuan Realm. They hid behind boulders and struggled to suppress their breath...... But how could he hide the spiritual sense of the demon he.
Demon He's speed slowed down, and he approached the boulder, and when he was close to ten steps away, behind the boulder, a gray-white figure suddenly rushed out, and the mystical power of his whole body exploded, and a cold and shining standard long sword stabbed directly at the demon he, accompanied by a roar full of bitter hatred.
The one who rushed out first was the strongest of the seventeen. But with only the seventh-level Xuan power of the New Xuan Realm, how could it possibly pose even the slightest threat to the demon he. His feet didn't move, and the void swung his palm at the figure stabbing at him...... And it was also at this moment that he saw the person's face clearly, and his face suddenly changed, and he tried his best to withdraw the Xuan Li that had been released, and at the same time, he stretched out his arm to block him: "Stop!!It's me!"
Although Demon He's palm was just waved at random, and he had recovered more than ninety percent of his Xuan power just now, his current Xuan Power was no longer what it used to be, and in just three levels, it was a geometric increase in his eyesight on Demon He's body, even if it was only a trace of it that was unbearable for him, it was definitely not something that the person on the other side could easily bear.
The long sword in his hand shattered in an instant, and the whole person also flipped back, slamming into the boulder behind him...... His face turned pale, he sat on the ground, his whole body convulsed violently in pain, but the perseverance and hatred in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
"Chief Guard!!"
"Brother Mu!!"
The people who were about to take the opportunity to besiege the queen of the boulder were all shocked, and gathered around the man, checking his injuries in panic. Demon He took a few steps forward and looked at the figure who was knocked to the ground by himself: "Mu ,,, Mu Yang?"
The person in front of him was very different from what he remembered. His original simple short hair was gone, the top of his head seemed to have been burned alive, festering, and the robe on his body was not neat at all, but was covered with torn and deep or shallow blood marks. The mighty and domineering body in the memory...... At this time, it is engraved with one shocking scar after another...... One of them almost touched his heart.
His eyes have changed drastically from before...... Lost in composure, vicious as a desperate wolf.
But his silhouette ...... But it was clearly the Mu Yang who provoked him when he first entered the Mu Mansion and gave him a lot of fun!
When he shouted "Mu Yang", the man's eyes also looked at him, and suddenly, his whole body stiffened, his eyes froze for a long time, and his pupils were violently dilated in an instant: "Demon ...... Demon He?"
The name "Demon He" also made everyone around him turn to Demon He and look at him with a dull expression.
"Brother Mu called him just now...... Demons...... Which demon he?"
He ...... He looks like the demon who won the first place in the family competition...... No, it's exactly the same!"
Demon He quickly came to Mu Yang and said eagerly: "Mu Yang, it's me! I'm back! What the hell is going on, why are you here, Mu Mansion, what's wrong with Mu Mansion?"
Demon He's words made Mu Yang's eyes tremble violently, he grabbed Demon He's arm, and his whole body trembled excitedly: "Demon He...... It's really you...... You're back??"
"Yes, I'm back!" Demon He nodded vigorously: "What happened?What happened to Qingfeng City?Didn't you serve as the head of the guard in Mu Mansion, how did you become like this?What happened...... Tell me!"
"Qingfeng City ......" lightly read this familiar name, but Mu Yang's voice was full of sadness and desolation: "How can there be any Mu Mansion now...... Mufu has long been finished...... The whole city of Tem is about to be finished!!"
"......" Demon He's breathing suddenly became heavy, he forcibly calmed down, squatted down and grabbed Mu Yang's shoulders and said, "What the hell is going on......? What the hell is going on in Breeze City!"
"It's a beast tide!!" the young man on the right side of Mu Yang gritted his teeth and said: "Three days ago, Qingfeng City suddenly overwhelmed the beast tide, broke through the South City Gate overnight, and in less than half a day, it invaded the entire Nancheng District...... There was no news, no warning, and no reason! The strong people sent were all directly killed...... Since then, the tide of beasts has continued to increase, reaching millions of ...... Invade and trample the land of Breeze City like a pack of mad dogs...... Mufu has already fallen long before the beast tide comes......"
"What...... Demon He's hands clenched suddenly, he shook his head vigorously, forced himself to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "Why did the beast tide suddenly invade?
, how could it be so hurried this time, wait, you said, Mufu had already fallen before the beast tide came?!!"
His shock was overwhelming, he had only been away for a few days, and the entire Qingfeng City was about to be gone?
Mu Yang laughed miserably: "Yes, it's too sudden, there are too many beasts, everyone went to the front line, but they not only invaded the land of my Qingfeng City, but also destroyed my city and slaughtered the residents of my Qingfeng City...... They're just a bunch of mad dogs, a bunch of demons!!"
The grief and hatred in Mu Yang's voice made people feel their hearts just by hearing it, and the sixteen young people around him were also full of resentment and gritted their teeth. Demon He calmed down, and said in a gloomy voice: "The war of the beasts...... It has always been premised on not harming the common people! This is the most basic rule! Are they not afraid of the kingdom's complete anger? How dare they do such a thing!"
"I can't figure it out either...... I can't figure it out!" Mu Yang's voice seemed to be crying, and he trembled and stretched out his finger and pointed forward: "Demon He...... You see, you look with your own eyes! this place, now...... In order to break through the defense line as soon as possible, the herd passed through the ...... Not a single grass left!"
Demon He: "......"
"And ...... Our Breeze City. Mu Yang's finger pointed to the west, and his eyes were already full of tears: "The beasts broke through the city gate and entered the city...... In order to take Qingfeng City as soon as possible, he even did not hesitate to burn the city with beast fire...... Burnt ...... Not an inch of tiles remained, and fifty percent of the urban area of Qingfeng City was burned to ashes...... Fifty percent of the city's people died under the fire of the beast! Tens of thousands of people died under the fire of the beast! Even more so than countless people died under their minions...... Those who resist die, those who flee die, and those who have mystical energy in their bodies die...... In less than three days, dozens of people have died in the claws of the beast tide in Qingfeng City...... Hundreds of thousands!!"
Mu Yang's voice became more and more poignant, and every word was filled with the hatred of the cone soul. Under his screams, the sixteen young people around him were already in tears, and a young man on the left said slowly: "We are all the guards of the Mufu...... But now, the Wood Mansion is ruined, and Qingfeng City is gone. Lord Mu'an...... In order to buy us time to escape, Lord Mu An himself ...... Still...... We can't even find his bones now. ”
"We all have no homes, no relatives...... The only purpose for us to live is to follow Lord Muyang and kill the Mysterious Beast!" The young man who spoke looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his eyes showed perseverance and ...... that did not match his age Bitterness.
"The beasts are too strong, our cultivation is too weak, there is no way to go head-to-head, we can only wander around Qingfeng City and ambush the lone Xuan Beast...... Can kill one is one, how many can be killed...... It was far away, and I vaguely saw something coming, and I thought it was a mysterious beast, so I attacked. ”
Demon He slowly let go of Mu Yang with both hands, and his eyes were in a trance. He looked at the people around Mu Yang...... The oldest of them was only in his early twenties, and the youngest was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and their clothes were in tatters, covered with blood, and their bodies were full of scars, and one person, or even nearly a third of his body, was wrapped in blood-stained bandages.
During his time in Tem City, although he was like an arrow, subconsciously, he didn't have much worry about the safety of the people he cared about. Because in Qingfeng City, the City Lord's Mansion will protect them, and even if something really happens, the Mu family will also help.
But he never dreamed that he would return to Qingfeng City with infinite joy and contemplate day and night, and what he saw turned out to be this apocalyptic scene.
The yellow sand in front of the Cangfeng Imperial City was all over the sky, the earthquake trembled, the blood flowed like a river, and the corpses were all over the field. `
After a day and a night of fierce fighting, the four lines of defense of Qingfeng City were continuously breached, and the last line of defense had been suppressed by the beasts in front of the city gate.
The Mysterious Beasts are extremely terrifying, extremely hideous, ferocious, and their claws are sharp, and their protection and attack capabilities are even more powerful, which is by no means comparable to the heavy silver armor and weapons of Qingfeng City. And the average combat power of the beast herd is far better than that of the Qingfeng City City Guards, and in general, one Xuan Beast is enough to compete with ten City Guards...... No exaggeration!
The earth has long been stained red with blood, deeper than the fur of the beasts, and countless corpses have spread to almost every land and corner in front of the city wall, and this battle has not stopped. Millions of mysterious beasts are so vast that they can't see the edge at a glance, just like the blood-colored waves from hell, about to engulf Qingfeng City forever.
At this moment, there were less than a few thousand troops left, and they were still fighting to the death, roaring and hoarse, and carrying with them increasing sorrow and despair.
On the city walls, countless arrows rained down wildly, converging into a long-lasting storm that could have caused some suppression of the beasts that were approaching the city gates. In the center of the city wall, Ji Bai, the commander of Qingfeng City, let out a loud roar, he had already shouted hoarsely, but every roar still shook the mountains and rivers.
Not far from his left hand, Peach Fire stood there quietly, she didn't wear any decorations today, her long black hair fluttered with the wind and waves of the battlefield, she silently looked at the tragic battlefield, there was no sadness on her face, no sadness, only a stagnant calm...... Because this day will come eventually, and it will never be avoided.
Beside her, there were two captains of the guards, looking at the blood of the martyrs who had reached the city gate and the fewer and fewer city guards, they had long been unable to maintain their calm, their eyes kept looking at Ji Bai, and they wanted to stop talking again and again.
The storm of arrows from the walls suddenly began to ease down considerably, and it didn't take long for it to become even sparse. The biggest threat began to be lifted, and the beast herd, which had already occupied an absolute advantage, suddenly pressed on, and in the blink of an eye, the last line of defense of the city guards was crumbling.
"My lord, we've run out of arrows!!"
This desperate news did not move Ji Bai, his eyes were blood-red, and he roared hoarsely:
"Open the gates!!"
