Chapter 132: Retreat and Defense

After arranging everything properly, Xiuyuzhou set out to prepare to escort the people of Cangqing City and rob and kill the army of demon beasts.

They flew for more than half an hour, and finally met the people of Cangqing City.

Yan Han looked at it from afar, and found that there were almost 10,000 people, all of whom were walking with panicked expressions and exhaustion. When they saw the monks of the Dai Yu Sect, they were immediately relieved.

"This is just the vanguard citizens of Cangqing City, leave a few Fang Shi to escort you, and the rest of me will continue to the rear to pick up!" Xiu Yuzhou shouted.

Yan Han sat on the flying sword of the purple bird at this time, looking at the refugees running scattered below, and found that they were panicked like ants in a hot pot, and some even threw supplies and belongings on the road.

After flying for about half an hour, the weather that had been clear suddenly appeared more than a dozen bolts of lightning, scorching the squares who flew to the front, and then more than a dozen figures fell from the flying sword together.

After realizing the crisis, Xiu Yuzhou immediately ordered loudly:

"Everyone abandon their swords and walk!"

Yan Han came to Xiuyuzhou and asked what the situation was.

The fear on Xiu Yuzhou's face was still there, and he said with a stiff gaze:

"Unexpectedly, the army of demon beasts has attracted the power of Teng Snake, no, more precisely, it should be the power of Ying Long!"

After hearing this, Yan Han was taken aback, "You mean, the Demon Realm Divine Beasts like Teng Snake or Ying Long have also been killed out of the Demon Realm Forest, are they no longer affected by the laws of heaven and earth?"

"I don't know! If Ying Long or Teng Snake really come out, 100,000 Fang Shi will not be their opponents!" Xiu Yuzhou's face was extremely gloomy.

Yan Han looked at the refugees who were hurrying away, so he grabbed one and asked, "How many people are behind you?"

The man wept and said, "Most of them are behind!

"Throw away all the burdens?

The man's face was embarrassed and full of grief, "Woo... My father and mother told me to go first!"

Yan Han raised his eyes to look at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man in front of him, his eyes were red and swollen, and he didn't say anything more.

Without flying swords, the walking speed of the monks was very slow, so Yan Han said to Xiu Yuzhou: "The situation in the rear may be very bad, I have to go over to cover first, and you can help me collect some high-level spirit stones." ”

"How tall?"

"Fifth to sixth order. ”

Xiu Yuzhou took a breath of cool air, "I have a seventh-order spirit stone here, take it." After that, Xiu Yuzhou grabbed a few more hall masters and asked for a few fifth-order spirit stones to hand over to Yan Han.

Yan Han got these spirit stones, sat down quietly, spent half an hour, carved the Dao pattern, and then chased in the direction of the Xiuyu Boat on the flowing clouds.

Seeing the fishing boat, Yan Han asked for help: "Sect Master, I went to intercept the demon beast before!"

Xiu Yuzhou nodded.

At this time, Zique called Yan Han and said, "I want to go with you too!"

"You can't use Edgeworth to fight here, and your constitution is still very weak, and your walking speed is too slow!"

"You can carry me on your back!" Zique pouted.

Yan Han hesitated, and Zique said again: "If you don't take me, don't go anywhere!"

Yan Han had no choice but to pick up the purple finch and stride backwards.

Yan Han ran for about an hour, and he could see that there was chaos ahead, and there were many refugees who had been attacked by demon beasts.

More than 100,000 people have fled in this area, many of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled, and walk slowly.

Many young people find that they are no longer able to protect their elders, so they can only leave them without their eyes.

The monsters are extremely fierce, including tiger wolves with horns on their foreheads, leopards with black flashes all over their bodies, monkeys that can eat people, giant centipedes, terrifying ants that are even more than half their size, giant birds with long tails flying in the sky, and eagles with two blood-red claws...

Every moment, hundreds of people fall.

These monsters are not attacking humans in search of food, but pure slaughter!

Yan Han could feel that these demon beasts seemed to be driven by an energy, becoming more bloodthirsty and cruel than before.

Yan Han said to Zique, "You first fight a bloody way here to cut off some fleeing refugees!"

Zique nodded, and as soon as the Youying Sword came out, it slaughtered all directions, while Yan Han used his ingenious figure to continuously lure away the demon beasts that attacked the refugees.

As a result, it didn't take long for the purple finch to kill the red eyes, and the more they killed, the more they killed.

Yan Han discovered a strange phenomenon, the Phantom Firefly Sword in Zique's hand was particularly able to attract the hatred of demon beasts, and almost half of the demon beasts in this area attacked around Zique.

The beasts killed by the purple finch have piled up into a mountain, but the demon beasts have come one after another, gathering more and more, and some powerful demon beasts have even caused a lot of damage to the purple sparrow.

At this time, Zique was already sweating profusely, and her physical strength seemed to be a little exhausted, and Yan Han was very worried about her state.

Yan Han walked to Zique's side and forcibly supported the Xuanjia shield, trying to protect both of them.

However, Zi Yue's magic sword penetrated all mana barriers, and Yan Han's Xuanjia shield was quickly eroded and pierced by the magic sword, causing Yan Han's qi and blood to surge.

To make matters worse, Yan Han found that his and Zique's approach did little to help the fleeing people, and the surrounding demon beasts would continue to slaughter these refugees.

Yan Han suddenly had an idea, he wanted to use the Purple Sparrow's Phantom Firefly Sword to lure all the beasts away.

So Yan Han let the purple finch ride directly on his neck, and at the same time, Yan Han's thousands of divine phases were displayed to the highest overlap, and after that, Yan Han resisted the purple finch and ran towards the rear.

Sure enough, under the lure of the Phantom Firefly Sword, almost more than half of the demon beasts chased after Yan Han's figure.

Yan Han was not satisfied, ran back again, lured the remaining demon beasts over, and then ran wildly.

Yan Han saw that this method was really effective, so his confidence increased greatly, he scrapped a few spirit stones, and increased his speed again, going around wherever there were many beasts.

It didn't take long for the beasts to roar after Yan Han as they chased and killed, and it seemed that the animals also knew how to be angry. At this time, the demon beasts within a radius of dozens of miles were all attracted by Yan Han.

The demon beasts were layer after layer, densely packed, chasing Yan Han closely, looking from afar, as if a thin figure was leading the landslide and tsunami to run wildly behind.

Yan Han's speed always maintained a distance from the demon beast army behind him, neither fast nor slow, and the purple finch was no longer nervous when he rode on Yan Han's head, but was excited. She raised her magic sword and shouted loudly, and her actions immediately caused the demon beast to become even more angry.

The army of monsters was lured away, and the fleeing refugees finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to march towards safety.

After an hour, Xiu Yuzhou led the team to pick them up, and they cleared out a handful of monsters that were chasing over and escorted the refugees.

At this time, Xiu Yuzhou and the other monks raised their eyes and watched Yan Han and Zique in the distance leading the mighty army of demon beasts to run back and forth, all of them were shocked!

However, seeing that Yan Han and Zique were at ease, Xiu Yuzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Yan Han and Zique didn't take it easy for long, and they encountered a powerful demon beast.

At some point, a huge centipede suddenly pierced out of the ground, this centipede was several zhang long, crawling, and the speed was amazing.

When it saw Yan Han and the purple sparrow, it opened its mouth and there was a red mist. Yan Han ordered Zique to hold her breath and pinch her nose herself.

This kind of red mist, you don't have to think about it to know how virulent it is!

Yan Han mobilized all his true qi and ran forward, but the speed of the giant centipede was too fast to shake it off at all.

At the moment of crisis, the purple sparrow jumped up, jumped on the centipede's head, picked up the magic sword and plunged it into the centipede's skull.

However, I never thought that the cuffet shell of the centipede was extremely hard, and even the Phantom Firefly Sword only left a few scratches on the hard carapace of the centipede.

"Stick it in the underbelly!" Yan Han shouted.

So the purple finch flew up and stabbed at the centipede's abdomen, but before it could get closer, the centipede shook its head, spit out a thick red mist, and opened its terrifying mouth to attack the purple sparrow.

At this moment, the purple sparrow's magic sword suddenly emitted a faint mist, which not only separated the red mist, but also formed an impregnable barrier, blocking the centipede's large mouth containing venom from the outside.

Purple Sparrow's eyes were hazy with a layer of black mist, and when she raised her sword again and stabbed at the centipede's shell, it was like stabbing on a piece of soft mud, directly piercing the centipede's skull.

The centipede's body shook violently, and then, gurgling white pulp emerged from the carapace, and after a while, the huge body shook a few times and fell to the ground.

The Phantom Firefly Sword seemed to be inspired with terrifying energy.

Yan Han hurriedly stepped forward to hold Zique's hand, and found that Zique was looking at him quietly, his eyes covered with a strange and gloomy smell.

"Who are you?" asked Zique suddenly.

Yan Han was taken aback, "I'm Yan Han!"

Zique looked dazed, and then he was angry and wanted to slash Yan Han.

Yan Han looked bad, and just now Zique seemed to have used the power of the magic sword to lose some consciousness.

So Yan Han took advantage of Zique's inattention, and quickly used the scabbard in Zique's hand to put it on the magic sword, and stopped Zique's actions.

After a while, Zique's eyes gradually cleared, but she seemed to be a little weak.

Yan Han looked at the army of demon beasts that were still chasing behind, picked up the purple sparrow and continued to run wildly.

After Zique sobered up a little, she said:

"Brother, if one day I don't know you. Do you still want me?"

"Yes, whether you know your brother or not, your brother knows you. ”

Zique lay on Yan Han's shoulder and silently shed a tear.

Five days later, Yan Han and Zique finally rushed back to join Xiuyuzhou, and at this time, the panicked refugees had approached Nanyan City.

"Yan Han, thanks to you, otherwise I'm afraid there won't be a few people left who fled in Cangqing City?" Xiu Yuzhou said.

"How many people have escaped from Cangqing City now?"

Xiu Yuzhou sighed, "With a population of 200,000, only 100,000 people have escaped, which is already a miracle. ”

Yan Han looked at the disciples of the Daiyu Sect around him and felt very heavy, Cangqing City was the oldest base of the Daiyu Sect, and Yan Han knew that there must be their relatives there.

After another day, Dai Yuzong led the refugees from Cangqing City to Nanyan City.

When the people of Dai Yuzong and 100,000 fleeing people entered, the whole city of Nanyan City was under martial law, and the gate was closed.

At this time, a spy from the Dai Yu Sect came to report, "Hundreds of miles north of Nanyan City, there is no movement of demon beasts, and there is no trend of continuing to expand and annex the area of human activities. ”

The people of Nanyan City and Dai Yuzong were all relieved when they heard this,

"I guess the Demon Realm army will definitely go south, and staying in Nanyan City is not a solution. Yan Han said.

"We have nowhere to go! Further south of Nanyan City is Baiyun City, which is the territory of the Shenxiao Sect, and it is impossible for them to take us in. ”

After Xiu Yuzhou finished speaking, he ordered everyone to arrange a defensive zone, gather food, and prepare for the attack of demon beasts.

In the evening, Yan Han said to Xiu Yuzhou: "After I have been in contact with the demon beasts this time, I know them better, and I think they will definitely go south to continue to expand." If it is too late to evacuate, it may be too late to hesitate. ”

"Where are we going?"

"Go to the Fallen God City!"

"Yan Han, as soon as the disaster comes, any area of the Fang Immortal Continent will suffer, do you think that the Falling God City will be safe?"

"At least the Falling God City has the protection of the Falling God Great Array, which has a restrictive effect on some demon beasts with extremely strong spiritual power!"

"From here to the Falling God City, to say the least, there are two thousand miles, and so many people will be starved to death even if they are not eaten by demon beasts. ”

"But if you stay here, with the powerful attack of the demon beasts, none of the citizens of Nanyan City will be able to escape!"

Xiu Yuzhou suddenly couldn't suppress his anger, he slapped the table, "Am I the boss here or are you the boss? Do you want to go back to your Falling God City, or do you really want to save the people of Nanyan City?"

"Is that what you think of me?" Yan Han's eyes were full of anger, and he met Xiu Yuzhou's gaze for a long time before silently walking out of the room.

After Xiu Yuzhou's anger subsided, he summoned a few alchemists with relatively fast legs and feet, and ordered them to closely monitor the movements of the demon beast army.

The next day, the spies gave no special news, which was probably the best news.

On the third day, there was still no movement.

On the fourth day, a spy suddenly said that the army of demon beasts had moved fifty miles south. The news made the whole city extremely nervous.

On the fifth day, there was no movement. The whole city breathed a sigh of relief.

On the sixth day, the spies gave the news: the demon beast army suddenly expanded two hundred miles to the south!

The people in the city immediately panicked, and the people of the Dai Yu Sect were also panicked.

Now there are two factions in the city, one faction supports holding on to the end, and the other faction, which also has a small number of people, supports the immediate relocation and departure from Nanyan City.

When Xiu Yuzhou convened an emergency meeting, there were only a few members of the Dai Yu Sect who insisted on leaving the city, and most of them were willing to stay in the city to fight against the demon beasts.

However, Yan Han's position was very resolute at this time, and he asked Xiu Yuzhou to make a decision to evacuate Nanyan City immediately, whether it was to flee to the south or west, it was much safer than staying in Nanyan City.

"How many of you here understand the strength of the demon beasts? I think at least some of you have broken through the demon realm forest and know the terrifying creatures of the demon realm, but what I want to tell you is that the demon beasts that came out of the demon realm forest this time are even more terrifying! They are demon beasts that have changed, not only flying in the sky, but also drilling underground, let me ask, what are we guarding in Nanyan City? What are we going to do to fight against them? Please don't joke with the lives of hundreds of thousands of people!" Yan Han said solemnly at the meeting.

However, Yan Han's insistence on being alone was always lonely, and Xiu Yuzhou finally did not adopt Yan Han's suggestion.

In fact, everyone has a tendency to be comfortable in their bones, they are really afraid of wandering, wandering represents the uncertainty of the future, and their hearts are even more uneasy.

But people tend to overlook the fact that the state of comfort is often the most dangerous.

The entire Nanyan City began to build defenses in a hurry, and all the stones and fire oil were moved to the city wall.

And Yan Han built dozens of small flame traps within a radius of dozens of miles outside the city, and built a circle of psychedelic arrays near the flame array. At the same time, Yan Han also laid various defensive arrays in the city that served as a cover to prevent attacks from the sky.

Five days later, when the spies reported again, the distance of the demon beast army had reached within two hundred miles of Nanyan City!

The hearts of all the people in the city were raised, and they seemed to smell the breath of demon beasts.

The next day, when the townspeople of Nanyan City found that something strange was coming to them, almost all the townspeople of Nanyan City, including the people of the Dai Yu Sect, had a miserable face.

The first wave of alien beast armies turned out to be wasps the size of fists, flying towards Nanyan City in the face of the sky, making everyone unguarded. As long as you are stung by this kind of thing, you will not die or be disabled. As a result, the common people of Nanyan City were crowded in the house and did not dare to go out, and only the Fang Shi used the defensive barrier to dare to come out and kill the enemy.

But what made the Fang Shi change color was that this wasp could actually bite through the barrier, and if they were not careful, they would get into it, and soon the Fang Shi would fall.

At the moment of crisis, Xiu Yuzhou ordered all the monks with low cultivation to also take refuge in the house.

After an hour of wreaking havoc, the wasp colony vanished.

However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a group of ants the size of half a zhang suddenly came out from under the ground in the city, revealing black steel teeth, biting people when they saw them, and after a while, the entire Nanyan City was covered with corpses.

Yan Han led many townspeople to hide in the defensive barrier, and then ordered people to intimidate the giant ants with torches.

The purple finch is killing on the side, but how can this kind of ant army be killed?

"Yan Han, it seems that you are right now. The monsters of the Demon Realm are not something that Nanyan City can resist at all!" Xiu Yuzhou's face was heavy, and he finally clarified the situation at this time.

"What's the use of talking about this now?" Yan Han was angry with Xiu Yuzhou in his heart.

"Now the real demon beast army has not yet arrived, it is only the forward troops that have arrived, if you go out of the city now and flee south, there may be a glimmer of hope. ”

After Xiu Yuzhou finished speaking, he went to discuss with Zhan Xun to see how to make the townspeople in the city abandon the city to get out of the crisis.

But now that the city is in chaos, it is difficult to organize, Xiu Yuzhou asked the people in the city to throw away everything and only bring water and food, and then the old, weak, sick and most of the disciples of the Daiyu Sect stayed in the city to drag the army of demon beasts.

This may be the last hope! No one will find it resolute and cruel to repair a fishing boat.

When Zhan and Zhang Yi and other two masters of the Realm and dozens of disciples of the Daiyu Sect led 200,000 townspeople to leave Nanyan City, Nanyan City's parting tears almost flooded the entire city.

The remaining disciples of the Daiyu Sect didn't have time to cry, and Xiu Yuzhou led them to meet the direction of the demon beast army and intercept them.

Yan Han and Zique continued to use the Phantom Firefly Sword to lure most of the demon beasts around, but the effect was very small, the number of demon beasts was too huge, and they almost surrounded Nanyan City.

One can imagine how miserable the battle was. Of the thousands of Dai Yu Sect disciples, there were only 800 people left in that night.

Yan Han had never seen Xiu Yuzhou cry before, but he saw it at this time.

Xiu Yuzhou's hands were already trembling, but he still led the team to continue to tear and kill.

"Let's leave some descendants for Dai Yuzong, we will suffer heavy losses if we fight hard like this!" a hall master persuaded Xiu Yuzhou.

"If we can't squeeze out ten days for Zhan and them, the entire people of Nanyan City will die!" Xiu Yuzhou said.

"There may be hope for retreating to the city and holding out for ten days. Yan Han proposed again.

Xiu Yuzhou was silent for a while, he refused Yan Han several times, losing the best time to withdraw the team, this time he accepted Yan Han's proposal and ordered a few hundred people to retreat to the city.
