Chapter 530: General, I'll Take You Home (4.2k words)
The small episode couldn't stop the continuation of the fight, and many people were already red-eyed and full of anger.
On the city wall, the ghost general was still fighting with those few people, and the four of them were united, and he had little chance of winning, so it didn't take long for him to be covered with scars.
"The old man advises you to stop resisting, obediently order the ghost clan to stop, and then let you die happily, otherwise you will be thrown into the Demon Refining Realm!"
The long sword in the hand of an old man pointed directly at the ghost general, and his proud words were full of threats, while the others waited and watched, including Lu Tianyi, who had been staring at him.
"Do you think I'm a ghost clan and will be afraid of death?" The ghost general's eyes widened angrily, swept over the few people in front of him, and once again secretly clenched the spear in his hand, and his wrist turned slightly.
"I was born to protect the people of the ghost clan, and I will be loyal to His Majesty the Ghost Emperor forever, this is my faith, how can you despicable human race be shaken!"
"Then let me die!" Lu Tianyi snorted angrily, his sharp eyes were slightly cold, and when the long sword stabbed past, the ghost general blocked it with a spear, and the strength was so great that Lu Tianyi's five fingers were slightly numb, and the long sword almost came out of his hand.
The ghost general used a spell and fell towards Lu Tianyi, who retreated in two steps when he dodged, while at the same time, the other three besieged him left and right.
The spear spun quickly in his hand, blocking part of the attack, and then the spear quickly vanished, replaced by a sharp, double-ended awl.
The figure flashed and appeared behind a certain person, the power in his hand was condensed, and the awl flew out with a "whoosh", directly piercing the person's body.
The man opened his mouth, and the long sword in his hand had just been raised, but it fell to the ground weakly.
Several other people opened their eyes angrily, one went to help the injured man, and the other attacked the ghost general with Lu Tianyi, and shot quickly.
Caught off guard, the ghost general was cut with multiple wounds on his body, and he raised his hand to block it, but one of the two used all his strength to control him.
Just as Lu Tianyi was about to attack him, the sharp double-ended awl suddenly stabbed at them from behind, and it split into two and attacked the two of them.
Lu Tianyi's body turned with the pace of his feet, skillfully dodging the attack of the awl, and the person who had been pierced by the awl just now seemed to be dead.
The awl struck, and the person who controlled the ghost general couldn't help but start to dodge, and the ghost general regained his ability to act in the next moment, his face was stained with a lot of blood, and when he laughed, he was proud and full of sadness.
"The ghost clan will never lose!"
He raised his hand, as if he was shouting a loud slogan, the belief in his heart has supported him until now, he firmly believes that the ghost clan will never lose!
Nuan Zhi stood not far from the city wall, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw her father on the city wall, and when she saw her father happy, she also showed a heartfelt smile on her face.
But accidents always come unexpectedly-
Suddenly a person rushed out, and Nuan Zhi watched as a long sword sank into the ghost general's body.
Her mind went blank for a moment, and as she watched this scene, her expression stiffened, and the smile on her face faded.
The person who assassinated the ghost general stared at the ghost general viciously, and said angrily word by word: "He died, you killed him, I want to avenge him now!" ”
The man he was talking about was the one who had just been impaled with an awl, and he was the one who was holding him.
The ghost general looked at the long sword that pierced his body, and the blood from the corner of his mouth flowed out, and then slowly raised his head, looked at the person in front of him, and suddenly smiled: "Is it heartbroken?" It's a pity that you can't compare to the pain in the hearts of my people when the people of my ghost clan died tragically. ”
The blood between his lips and the bleak smile were touching with an indescribable sadness, and his heart was full of endless resentment and anger, forming an unwilling obsession.
"My ghost general, how can I die so easily!"
The ghost general charged his palm and slapped it towards the man, and when the man stepped back and let go of the long sword, he reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword, pulled out the long sword that had pierced into his body, and then swung out a sword.
He is a ghost general, even if his cultivation is suppressed in this world, how can he die so easily.
"Father!" Nuan Zhi saw that she was in a mess, she raised her hand and wanted to fly towards the ghost general, but suddenly two people rushed out to attack her and stop her.
Xi Hua is still helping Phantom to heal his injuries at the moment, and there is no one else in his eyes, and he can't care about anyone else.
Even now, the ghost general is still swinging his sword to kill the Quartet, and with a wave of his long sword, he killed the two sect disciples who rushed over, and he was merciless when he attacked.
Lu Tianyi finally solved the attack of the double-headed awl, and as soon as he turned around, he saw what the ghost general had done, and in an instant, a pair of eyes deepened a little.
"Sword, Bang, Heaven, Hua!"
With a serious expression, she shouted out these four words word by word, and with this sword move, Lu Tianyi raised his hand and drew a long sword forward, and the pale golden sword shadow followed behind, as if it was a collection of the essence of heaven and earth.
Her eyes flickered, and she jumped into the air with a hard foot, heading towards the ghost general. She held the hilt of the sword with both hands and raised it above her head, and when she came to the ghost general, the long sword slashed down without hesitation!
The fierce sword qi attacked, and the ghost general raised his long sword to block it, but it was cut in half, and the sword qi slashed down from his forehead from above, and there were blood marks everywhere he passed.
A thousand years ago, the third-generation leader of the Hundred Immortals League relied on the exquisite swordsmanship "Sword Pulling Tianhua" to dominate the world, and today, thousands of years later, the talented Lu Tianyi killed the ghost general with one of the "Sword Pulling Tianhua".
The ghost general stood in place, blood flowing from his wounds, he smiled and opened his mouth, as if to say something, but when Lu Tianyi landed, he stabbed into his body again.
"Poof-" A large amount of blood flowed out of his mouth again, mixed with the ink-colored robe on his body, stained on Lu Tianyi's white clothes, and was dazzlingly red.
——
In the distance, a red shadow flashed quickly, and Qin Huai, who had been hiding behind the hillside, inadvertently caught a glimpse, and couldn't help but wonder: "I seem to have seen something in the past just now." ”
"Be quiet, don't let them find out." Si Qi raised his hand and patted his head, and then looked in the direction of the city wall, this picture of rivers of blood fell on his eyes, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, this ghost clan has become like this, why hasn't my little ancestor come back?" ”
Shangguan Jin, Qin Huai: "......"
——
On the city wall, the corners of the ghost general's mouth twitched slightly, even at this time, he was still smiling, and with the large amount of bright red blood between his lips, the smile was shocking.
He slowly approached Lu Tianyi and said, "One day, the Heaven and Earth Circle will be opened, and the City Lord will return to the Ghost Domain with thousands of people of my ghost clan, and at that time, my Nine Shadows and Ten Thousand Yin Soldiers will definitely set foot in this world......"
Lu Tianyi twisted his eyebrows, and his expression changed a little.
"Hahaha......" He laughed wantonly, like a magic sound, constantly surrounding Lu Tianyi's ears, and he couldn't help but feel irritable in his heart.
"Demons will never be able to defeat justice!"
She pulled out her long sword suddenly, and as soon as she raised her hand, she slapped her palm on the ghost general's body and pushed it back.
The cold winter wind howled, and the ghost general opened his arms, his body like a kite with a broken string, and fell towards the city wall, as if he was about to fall into a bottomless abyss.
——
The footsteps taken couldn't help but stop, and Feng Qingyan, who finally rushed back from thousands of miles away, saw the scene in front of him, and the whole person couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Her red lips opened slightly, and she was stunned for a long time.
"Young master, isn't that person?" Behind the hillside, the subordinate next to him suddenly pulled Si Qi.
Si Qizheng was shocked, he made a nasal voice in confusion, and then looked intently, and then saw a red shadow standing not far away, the thin dress fluttering in the wind, and the back seemed to reveal a touch of loneliness.
"She'......" Si Qi was stunned.
——
The ghost general kept falling, he opened his eyes and saw several figures on the city wall that were getting more and more blurred, slowly raised his hand, and pointed his finger at them:
"I swear by the Nine Shadows, with blood as a curse, the human race will live in fear of war for the rest of your life, and you will fall into hell forever, and you will not enter reincarnation in all your lives!"
"General, General!"
In the haze, the ghost general seemed to hear Feng Qingyan's voice, and he seemed to be calling her loudly.
Lord of the Castle, are you back?
The ghost general always remembered the first time he knew Feng Qingyan's identity, and the surprise in his heart at that time almost buried him, she was the only hope he saw after coming to this world, and the last hope of the ghost clan.
The last time he led his troops to attack Hezhou City, but was trapped in the city, she had allowed him to ask three questions, and he always remembered the third question he asked her.
"Will you take us back to the Ghost Domain?"
In a cautious tone, he secretly clenched his palms at that time, and kept looking at her back, for fear that the answer she said would completely extinguish the illusion in his heart.
It's just that question, she didn't answer him at the time, he was uneasy, but he always believed that the city lord would one day take their ghost people back.
If she was by her side now, then before he died, he would definitely ask: "Lord of the City, when you go back to the Ghost Domain, can you bring the bones of your subordinates with you?" ”
But he forgot that the ghost people never had bones.
Death is death, and it will eventually be annihilated to ashes by the wind.
But he never regretted it, for the sake of the ghost people, for the sake of his daughter, he never regretted it.
"My lord, my subordinates are homesick......
The blood from the corners of his mouth kept flowing out, and the weak words spread into the heavens and the earth with the wind, but no one could hear them.
"Father!" Nuan Zhi couldn't help but shout, she couldn't believe what she was seeing, she wanted to rush forward, but there was always someone standing in her way.
"I, I'm going to kill you!" Losing her mind, she became more and more angry, and raised a long sword and slashed at those who stood in her way, and blood splattered for a moment.
The body is constantly falling, and at the same time, it is also annihilating with the wind, like the burning of a fire, burning everything that is left of the ghost general in this world.
Feng Qingyan felt that his heart was as heavy as a thousand times, and his body began to annihilate into ashes little by little from his legs, and he was about to fall to the ground......
She rushed over, her legs bent and she fell to her knees, and her hands were stretched out to catch him.
At a glance, she vaguely seemed to see the smile on his face, like a poignant dream tragedy.
"General......
After all, she didn't catch him, everything had not yet touched her palm, with a gust of cold wind blowing, nothing fell into her hands, he was completely annihilated and dispersed in the cold wind under her gaze.
"I haven't brought you home yet."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"
Two lines of clear tears involuntarily flowed out of the corners of his eyes, and he read "I'm sorry" over and over again, and finally choked silently when he read it, and couldn't help but want to cry.
"I'm late."
Feng Qingyan had never imagined that the ghost general would die in front of her so suddenly, they had not yet brought the people of the ghost clan back to the ghost domain, and they had not returned home.
How could he just die?!
"Father!" Nuan Zhi ran towards him, but fell on the snow in embarrassment, bursting into tears.
She had multiple wounds on her body, and her dress was stained with a lot of blood, which also stained her little face.
"Father, father......"
The grief in my heart is beyond measure.
——
Feng Qingyan remembered that standing on the city wall two days ago, she had asked the ghost general: "General, look at the snow-capped distant mountains, if they are not covered with snow, what do you think of the comparison with the mountains of the ghost domain?" ”
At that time, he was standing beside her, his eyes looked around the distant mountain, his lips rose, and said: "Speaking of mountains, my subordinates like Xiyao Mountain in the Ghost Domain the most, it is located outside Ember Yun City, and when my subordinates stand on the city wall, they can see it at a glance like now. ”
"There is also a river at the foot of the mountain, which flows from the Cangshan Mountain Range, and it is black."
"The ghosts and beasts in Ember City and nearby are very fond of going there to drink water, and sometimes you can see a few ferries."
Endless imagination, everything seemed to be happening in front of him, and he seemed to be back in the ghost realm.
"There is a beast in the river, not a fish, but it can stay in the river like a fish, and every time the colorful and brilliant aurora halo stains half the sky, they will emit a beautiful and pleasant chirp, which will be transmitted into the city of Ember Yun like a heavenly sound, and it will stop after a long time."
"I have guarded Ember Yun City for hundreds of years, I have been conscious since then, growing there, and I am extremely affectionate to every road and every stone there......"
Smiling slightly, proud and with infinite nostalgia for his hometown, there has never been a time when he misses his hometown so much, everything in his hometown is so beautiful.
The cold wind ruffled her hair, she turned her head to look at him, a simple smile on her face, and asked, "If you return to the Ghost Domain, what does the general want to do first?" ”
"My subordinates will go and tell my mother first that her son has returned, and that the new lord of the city brought us back from that strange world. Nuan Zhi also grew up, when she was a child, she was left behind, and she was found later, and her subordinates always felt very sorry for her, and she didn't fulfill her responsibilities as a father......"
Then he looked at her, as if he was explaining the aftermath, and said: "Lord of the city, if one day your subordinates are wiped out, please help your subordinates take care of Nuan Zhi, and if you can return to the ghost domain, please also say to the old mother on behalf of your subordinates: The child has not lost the face of the ghost clan." ”
In the end, he looked at her with a sad smile, but with hope, and asked the last question: "Lord City, can we really go back to the Ghost Domain?" ”
"Yes, surely."
"Okay, my subordinates believe in you."
He kept smiling, as if he had seen the endless Xiyao Mountain, and the brilliant aurora halo stained the sky, at that time, the beasts in the river would definitely make a pleasant chirp, which would be transmitted into the Ember Yun City and echo in his ears.
His mother once told him: never lose the face of the ghost clan, and be an iron bone for the rest of his life.
- Lord of the city, my subordinates believe in you.
