Chapter 102: Burning the West City
On the porch, Qiulik asked the guards around him uneasily, "When will the reinforcements arrive?"
"Young master, it will take at least six or seven minutes!"
"Damn!" Looking at Jing Yi, who was paralyzed under the tree, Qiu Li was almost mad, "Where's my father? Why didn't he come?"
"The lord went out, saying that he was going to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he ......"
"Damn!" Qiulik suddenly scolded angrily, if he doesn't go out early or late, it's just nonsense to go out at this time.
And at the same time that Qiu Lik was furious, Hua Long and Evil Pupil had already exchanged hands.
The battle between the two men was not the slightest temptation, and both sides were giving their all from the beginning, however, Hua Long seemed to be slightly lacking in skill and experience, and no matter how he shot, he would be countered by the other party.
"'God of War', right, I advise you to give up as soon as possible, you are not my opponent!" said the evil pupil as he scolded.
Although the masked young man in front of him killed his two companions, he was indeed very angry and angry, but after thinking about it, even if he killed the young man in front of him at this time, his two companions would not survive, but if he could recruit the person in front of him to his command, then in a few years, the names of several of them would probably overshadow the four major divine guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion and even the four heavenly guards in the palace.
Therefore, while defusing Hualong's tough offensive, the evil pupil launched psychological tactics on the other, but for Hualong with firm beliefs, such tactics obviously had no effect.
"You're the one who wants to stop!"
Hua Long threw a horizontal punch at the opponent's head at the moment of distance, but the evil pupil judged it accurately, he easily dodged the attack and gave Hua Long a backhand punch. And this punch is right in the chest of the Chinese dragon!
It's really a difficult opponent, Hua Long secretly praised the opponent in his heart.
Although he easily killed his two companions of the Spirit King Realm before, it was all the credit of taking advantage of his unpreparedness to sneak attack, at this time, Hua Long immediately felt a little difficult, and the attack method of this evil pupil was different from the previous evil god, he took the route of assassination, and he was able to dodge most of Hua Long's attacks in time with a strange shape, and the remaining small part of the damage caused to it was negligible.
......
At the same time, on the road outside the North Governor's Palace.
Tarex looked up at the rainbow-topped sky when the boy ran back, still holding an unlit torch and a box of matches in his arms.
"What are you looking at?" the boy asked Tarex in surprise.
The man grimaced and said coldly, "Wind direction and weather." ”
"Wind direction and weather, see what they do?" the boy was even more confused.
This time, Tarex didn't answer him, and his eyes instantly fell on both sides of the road.
There was a large civilian area, with countless houses close together, mostly of rotten wood.
Tarex looked at the sky again, then pointed to the torch in the boy's arms, meaning that the boy threw the lit torch towards the house.
There are more than 100,000 civilians living here!
The boy was stunned.
However, in the next second, he still did it, although this seemed a little crazy to others, but he had long been accustomed to the cold of the world, but he had already become numb, and after lighting the torch, the boy threw the torch out in an instant.
The fire burned in an instant!
The strong south wind also blew abruptly at this time, and after a few breaths, the fire spread rapidly by the wind, and the first house was engulfed by the fire in an instant, and the nearby houses also began to burn, for a while, countless ragged civilians rushed to the road, shouting "on fire", while looking for utensils to fill water to put out the fire.
It's just that the fire is too big, and in less than five minutes, the entire Xicheng District was shrouded in a heat wave and smoke clouds, and the slightly gloomy sky was instantly reflected red!
Soon, the modest streets were filled with firefighters, mixed with the cries of pain, the sound of gongs and drums, the crackling of the flames, the cries of children, the hoarse cries for help of adults, and the cries of despair.
It is unimaginable that an urban area with more than 100,000 people can be turned into a sea of fire in a matter of minutes, and it is difficult to count the casualties!
At this time, on the way to the Northern Governor's Palace, Captain Matt and the 1,000 soldiers led by him also arrived here in due time.
"What's going on?" Looking at the road blocked by the fire and the crowd, Commander Matt, who went to the Northern Governor's Mansion for reinforcements, was suddenly a little overwhelmed.
"My lord, hurry up and put out the fire!"
"Please, my lord, my children are still there, hurry up and save them!"
When the army arrived, civilians who were busy fighting the fire immediately rushed up, and many of them even knelt on the ground and pleaded.
"Get out of here!" Captain Matt looked impatient, how could he have any time to deal with all this shit?
"Which other road is closer to the Northern Governor's Mansion?"
The staff on the side immediately replied: "The nearest road is from here to the north, and then you can reach it by crossing the Dijiang Bridge." ”
"How long will it take?"
"More than twenty minutes!"
"Damn!"
Holding the weapon on his waist, Commander Matt hesitated for a moment, but at this time he seemed to have no choice, so in the next second, he immediately yelled, "Quick, change the route to the north!"
After a few breaths, under the angry gaze of countless civilians, this imperial army quickly left towards the road to the north, but they didn't know that it was precisely because of their actions this time that the contradiction between the commoners and the nobles was intensified again!
......
In the courtyard of the North Governor's Palace.
Everyone here noticed the cacophony of shouting outside the courtyard walls and the flame-red sky, but that didn't affect the duel between the Evil Pupil and Hua Long.
After a few minutes of fighting, Hualong, who was eager to win, had been revealed, and if it weren't for the "Talisman Qi" body, he would have lost a long time ago.
Cultivation is still a bit weak!
Once again facing an opponent who was a lot higher than himself, Hua Long once again felt the lack of his cultivation, if he was not a top-grade Spirit Venerable Realm at this time, but had already stepped into the Spirit Sect Realm, then the situation would definitely not be so embarrassing.
Unable to dodge the attack of the evil pupil, Hua Long received another punch in the cheek.
"Damn!" Hua Long's face instantly became gloomy, but there was no way to go on like this, at this time he was ready to use Xiao Hei, although Xiao Hei's appearance would easily expose his identity, but at this time, in order to save Jing Yi, he couldn't care so much.
However, at this critical moment, there was a uniform pace outside the Northern Governor's Mansion, and Hua Long, who had experienced the attack of the Central Army formation, knew that this was the army as soon as he heard the footsteps.
"Could it be the reinforcements from the Northern Governor's Mansion?" Hua Long's eyes suddenly turned cold, if it was really the reinforcements from the Northern Governor's Mansion, then he would probably be planted here today, after all, the combat effectiveness of the regular army and the guards in front of him were completely two different concepts.
