Chapter 287: Crisis
Chapter 287
Everyone nodded, and they all dismounted and began to find a place to rest.
Wan Ting Jun quickly ran forward, until he found Zhao Gongming and the thousands of soldiers in a circle in front of a ruined ruin.
"What's the matter?" Wan Tingjun asked in a low voice, but no one answered, so he had to squeeze in front of him to look, and then there was a burst of sadness in his heart.
Wan Tingjun vaguely remembered that the tall and thin man in front of him was the city guard of Huaguang City. However, at this moment, the city guard was severely nailed to the ground in front of the city guard mansion with a spear, and his limbs were spread, and he had already been dead for a long time. Beside him, there was a line of bloody letters, apparently left by the staff army to warn the people behind him.
Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die, Zhao Gongming remember!
These fourteen blood characters are shocking, they are written in the blood of the city guards, and each stroke is extremely exaggerated, and it is obvious that the staff army deliberately drained the blood of the city guards to be able to write these fourteen words.
"Staff Army, I won't kill you, I won't be a man!" Zhao Gongming clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth.
"General, I want to lead the Immortal Sect disciples to rush forward first, so that they can reach the next city a little early, and then inform them to get ready, do you think it's okay?" Wan Tingjun walked to Zhao Gongming's side and asked in a low voice.
Zhao Gongming glanced at Wan Tingjun and smiled miserably, "If you still have the strength to spare, then please leave it to you." Although I hate the staff army to the core, I have to rest the army in the current situation. Go ahead and I'll prepare the best horses for you. ”
"No, I think we're going to use the primordial coulee to hurry. Wan Tingjun shook his head and said.
Zhao Gongming glanced at Wan Tingjun and said, "Although the Taichu Guli is in a hurry, it will not cause damage to the cultivators for a short distance, but this is not close to the next city, are you sure?"
"In order to stop the staff army, no matter how great the damage is, there is only hard resistance. ”
"Okay!" Zhao Gongming suddenly turned around, patted Wan Tingjun's shoulder heavily, and then took out a token from his arms, and said to Wan Tingjun, "This is the token given to me by His Majesty, you hold this token, and all the generals will recognize your identity wherever you pass." ”
Wan Tingjun nodded and took the jade card, and then turned around and left here, there was no more nonsense, he had to stop the staff army as soon as possible, in public and private. After resting for an hour, Wan Tingjun and the head of the sect took the people of the Immortal Sect on the road, and began to rush with the primordial Guli to the next city.
Zhao Gongming's army still stayed in Huaguang City to rest, and after so many days of running, the army was already exhausted, and many soldiers needed at least a whole day to recover.
Zhao Gongming leaned alone behind a broken stone slab, looking at the blue sky with empty eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, this was the most embarrassing time since he led the troops, and the blow to Zhao Gongming's pride was also particularly big.
"General, can you drink saliva?" The deputy general handed Zhao Gongming a pot of water, but Zhao Gongming didn't react at all, as if he hadn't heard.
The lieutenant sighed, then removed the kettle.
At this time, suddenly a soldier came running from a distance and said to Zhao Gongming, "General, we have a stone tablet in the distance, on which are written a few words in blood. ”
Zhao Gongming suddenly reacted from the state of no reaction, quickly stood up, and said to the soldier, "Where? Take me!"
The soldier answered, and then quickly ran in one direction, Zhao Gongming followed closely, and behind him, several generals and dozens of soldiers also quickly followed.
In front of a collapsed house, a stone monument was erected there. Next to the stele was a man who had been dead for a long time, and his blood was dried up, and it seemed that the blood words on the stele were written in his blood.
Zhao Gongming looked at those words, his face turned pale. It actually read 'Zhao Gongming, died here'.
Zhao Gongming looked around a few times, but there was nothing abnormal, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that the other party was just writing and playing?
"Staff Army, if you have a kind of land, you will stand up, what is it to hide your head and show your tail, it is simply an insult to the honor of the ancestors of your staff family. Zhao Gongming shouted around, he was sure that the staff army must still be around, although these blood words have been around for a while, they have not completely dried, they must have been left a few hours ago.
"Hey, isn't that Wang Er, who are you?" a guard soldier suddenly pointed to the corpse on the ground and shouted, and then suddenly turned his eyes to the soldier who reported the news.
Zhao Gongming was shocked, Wang Er was his trusted soldier, and at this moment, he was stripped of his military uniform and fell to the ground, and he didn't recognize it all of a sudden. And this soldier who reported the news happened to be wearing Wang Er's military uniform, so who was he?
The soldier apparently didn't expect to be recognized, so he froze for a moment, and then suddenly began to retreat rapidly.
Zhao Gongming moved quickly, kicked the ground behind him with his feet, and then shot at the retreating soldier.
"Zhao Gongming, I didn't expect to be revealed by you, hahaha, but the ending of your death here can't be changed. The soldier suddenly laughed wryly.
Zhao Gongming reacted suddenly, and shouted loudly, "Staff Army, it's you brute!" roared angrily, Zhao Gongming suddenly stepped faster, and used a kind of divine fighting technique, and his body shot towards the staff army like an arrow.
But the staff army is not an idle person, and a few clever places on the ruins behind him instantly widened the distance from Zhao Gongming.
At the same time, on a piece of ruins in the distance, a person suddenly appeared under a black robe, holding a jade flute in his hand, looking coldly at the people in front of him, and then blew softly.
The moment the sound of the flute sounded, Zhao Gongming stumbled under his feet and almost fell on a pile of ruins. In the depths of his body, a dark will suddenly surged up, almost drowning his mind in an instant, controlling his body.
Zhao Gongming forcibly suppressed that will with the primordial ancient force, and then suddenly looked back, his face changed greatly.
Behind him, the dozens of soldiers who followed him all fell to the ground one by one at this moment, and on their bodies, long black hairs began to grow gradually, and then covered their entire bodies.
"Hahaha, Zhao Gongming, after drinking the water in the barracks, it's time for you to mutate. From now on, even if I don't kill you, you will become a cursed corpse under my command and fight for me. Seeing Zhao Gongming's reaction, the staff immediately stopped and laughed wildly.
Zhao Gongming was furious in his heart at this moment, and the dark will was all surging, and he desperately wanted to rush up and kill the staff army, but once he used the Taichu Gu Li, it was difficult to suppress the dark will in his body, and he fell to the ground weakly, Zhao Gongming was a little frightened, and on his arm, long black hairs began to grow.
The staff army took out a dagger from his arms, and then slowly walked over, and came to him in front of Zhao Gongming with some despair and extreme anger in his eyes.
"Zhao Gongming, your three official families have always been against us, and for a long time, my staff family has always tolerated it, but now I tell you, those days have passed. My father instructed me to kill you, and even though you have become a powerful cursed corpse, they are still a little worried. So, hey, helplessly, I'm going to kill you today. After speaking, the staff raised the dagger in his hand, and the sunlight reflected a dazzling cold light on the dagger.
"Staff Army, I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!" Zhao Gongming stared at the staff army, and there was a roar of unwillingness in his throat.
"Oh, by the way, if you don't let me go, you can come to your house on the day the imperial capital is shattered to see how I can play with your beautiful sister, Miss Sanyixiu. The staff smirked for a while, and then ignored Zhao Gongming's eyes that were almost dripping blood, and the dagger was about to be swung down.
"Snap" A long sword suddenly came from a distance and quickly shot down the dagger in the hands of the staff army.
"Who?" the staff member looked up, covering his hands in surprise.
Fang Tian stood there quietly, his chest rising and falling, obviously coming from a long distance, very tired, but finally saved Zhao Gongming at this critical moment. Behind him, there were countless armies, filling the entire ruins, everyone's hands, weapons were trembling with their bodies, but a powerful murderous aura swept here.
No one spoke, and the group of sergeants stood there quietly, their aura terrifyingly powerful, and the light of anger was all concentrated on the staff soldiers, making him feel a chill.
Everyone arrived here tired and half-dead because of the staff army, and at this moment they saw the source of this evil, and not a single soldier did not want to kill him.
Feeling the killing intent of these people, the staff army slowly stood up, took a few steps back, and then looked at the master.
The master's keen gaze swept over the group, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He nodded to the staff and signaled that he didn't need to be afraid.
Seeing the master like this, the staff army immediately felt confident in his heart, snorted at Fang Tianleng, and then the dagger in his hand flickered, and walked towards Zhao Gongming who fell to the ground again, about to kill him.
"Shaft, bold!" Fang Tian roared angrily, and then quickly ran forward, quickly popping out a few primordial Gu forces in his hand, shooting towards the staff army.
At the same time, the master blew the jade flute again, and the army of 50,000 collapsed in an instant, and a scream came from the rear.
Fang Tian was taken aback, and when he looked back, he saw that the army of 50,000 had all begun to mutate, and a large area collapsed in an instant.
Glancing at the ground, Fang Tian blurted out suspiciously, "It's okay without a formation?"
When the staff army dodged and let go of those few primordial ancient forces, and then was about to kill Zhao Gongming again, Fang Tian had already arrived and blocked the attack of the staff army.
The staff looked at Fang Tian cautiously and wondered, "Why, you didn't drink the water in the barracks?"
Fang Tian sneered, picked up Zhao Gongming on the ground, and was about to leave here.
The staff hurriedly gestured to the master, the master understood, and the sound of the flute immediately turned urgent, and suddenly, a dense number of cursed dead bodies appeared around, standing all over the area. Looking at the countless cursed dead bodies that suddenly appeared around him, and the familiar faces were all his former subordinates, Fang Tian's lips moved slightly, but his strong character immediately suppressed his emotions.
"Do you want to rely on them to stop me, it's just wishful thinking!" Fang Tian said coldly to the staff army.
"Oh, yes? The staff raised their eyebrows slightly, and stepped back towards the rear.
The sound of the flute was like a magic spell, commanding the mutated soldiers to force up. The 50,000 troops brought by Fang Tian had also completed their mutation at this moment, but they retreated to the rear.
Looking at the piece that was as black as the tide, some cold sweat gradually oozed from Fang Tian's forehead.
In his arms, Zhao Gongming laughed miserably and said, "Fang Tian, you go quickly, I can't control myself anymore, if you still take me, you will be dragged down by me." ”
"No, General, I will definitely take you out of here!" Fang Tian said firmly.
Zhao Gongming shook his head, then grabbed Fang Tian's clothes tightly, and said in a low voice, "Listen to me, you have to leave here quickly and go to meet Wan Tingjun." Inform the Imperial Capital and get ready. If the staff family wants to rebel, you can only control the people and let the emperor control the headquarters of the staff family so that they can remove the toxin from us. Don't struggle like this anymore, it's useless. ”
"General, I can't do this!" Fang Tian choked up with tears in his eyes.
Zhao Gongming smiled miserably and said, "Fang Tian, I had doubts about you before, and it was only now that I understood the meaning of these eight words. I'm sorry. ”
"General. ”
"You go quickly!" Zhao Gongming pushed Fang Tian hard, and his weak body immediately rolled out of his arms and fell to the ground. Long black hair gradually stretched out of his clothes, looking so weird.
Fang Tian suppressed his tears, glanced at Zhao Gongming deeply, and then finally made up his mind, and rushed into the distance without looking back.
"Roar"
Seeing Fang Tian rushing over, several powerful cursed dead bodies immediately rushed up, and the various colors of primordial ancient forces on their bodies turned together, and they even used the most powerful divine fighting technique in their lives at the same time.
"Is it you?" Fang Tian felt a chill in his heart, at this moment, it was the most powerful generals in the army who made a move, and there were also some disciples of the Great World Clan, possessing extremely powerful divine fighting skills and some secret methods.
Fang Tian gritted his teeth, knowing that he couldn't delay at this moment, he quickly changed his direction and ran towards the other side, but on the other side, several equally powerful cursed dead bodies appeared, seeing them, Fang Tian's heart was even more cold, these were some of his most powerful alchemists' subordinates at that time, he didn't expect that even the primordial Gu Li could be retained.
Fang Tian's eyes flashed, there were strong people in all directions, although Fang Tian was not afraid to fight alone, but at this moment, everyone joined forces, even Fang Tian could hardly beat his edge.
"Hahaha, Fang Tian, see how you run out?" the staff sneered behind his back.
