Chapter 55: The Aftermath
readx; The slanting sun in the sky brewed a touch or two of crimson and deep purple in the western sky. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This color is ever-changing, and the silver gray, and the fish belly white, suddenly turns into brilliant gold.
The city is also shrouded by this faint sunset.
However, compared to the initial excitement, the people of the city were now saddened.
This time they defended the city, although they eventually won the victory, keeping their homeland. However, for this, they also paid a great price. This is evident in the number of corpses in the city.
Zheng Haotian stepped down from the Divine Machine Crossbow and looked at the remaining less than a hundred Divine Machine Arrows with regret.
After missing this day, I want to find an opportunity to release the magic arrow at will, but I am afraid it will be quite difficult.
However, his eyes only swept over it, and he had already hidden all his thoughts.
The figure flashed, and Tiger Batian once again strode into the tower. Maybe it's because he just forced the Sea Clan to retreat, but at this time, he still released surging coercion, even Zheng Haotian and the others couldn't bear it anymore.
Seeing the faces of several of them, Hu Batian smiled dumbly, and the strong aura on his body gradually converged, and finally disappeared.
Nodding to everyone, Hu Batian said in a clear voice: "Everyone, I'm sorry, Hu Mou originally retreated and cultivated, but after hearing the news, he hurriedly broke through, so his aura was a little chaotic, and he was not able to fully control it. ”
Only then did everyone understand that it was no wonder that with the strength he showed in his aptitude, he would even let the aura overflow.
Mu Jin's face changed slightly, and he said, "Big brother, have you succeeded?"
Hu Batian smiled calmly: "Not yet." There was a hint of regret in his voice: "The spirit realm is not so easy to break through, and I am still short of this last step. ”
Zheng Haotian's heart moved slightly, and after listening to the conversation between the two of them, he suddenly understood the other party's cultivation level.
Tenth-order, he turned out to be a tenth-order powerhouse who was the same as Wenren Bingying.
Mu Jin's face suddenly became a little unnatural, he lowered his gaze, and said, "Big brother, it's all useless to me, if I can defend the city and don't let you worry about it, maybe you can succeed." ”
Tiger Batian's eyes widened and said, "Nonsense." He stretched out his big hand, patted Mu Jin heavily on the shoulder, and said, "Although the promotion of the spirit body is not easy, it is only not easy, this is just a hurdle in my Tiger Heavenly Martial Arts cultivation, and I can overcome it sooner or later." ”
Everyone in the tower bared their teeth, and even their gums ached.
Spirits, this is the realm that all cultivators dream of. Even a genius disciple like Wenren Bingying, who was born in the Super Gate Sect, worked tirelessly to cultivate for this goal, and even had to use the special environment within the Flying Heaven Main Peak to make a breakthrough.
But even so, she didn't dare to say that she would definitely succeed.
However, Hu Batian actually had such confidence, and as soon as he heard his tone, he knew that he was not trying to comfort Mu Jin, but had a really strong confidence.
Such a character, even if you look at the entire Great Spirit Realm, is definitely rare and rare.
Mu Jin's eyes lit up, he nodded heavily, and said, "I can trust the eldest brother." ”
Tiger Batian grinned and said, "Since you can trust me, then you should send someone to inform me when the Sea Clan begins to gather." ”
Mu Jin's face was slightly red, and he said, "Big brother, I just thought that with my own ability, I could defend the city." ”
Hu Batian sighed lightly, although he was arrogant, this did not mean that he was a reckless person, on the contrary, his mind was quite delicate, where would he not understand Mu Jin's true thoughts.
"Old Mu, I know you want me to break through my limits with peace of mind and step into the spirit realm as soon as possible. But don't forget, Zhenhai City is me and our home. ”
Zheng Haotian's heart trembled slightly.
Family...... This word contains too many things, and at this moment, he misses his father and the home in Dalin Village very much.
He was born there and spent the most precious childhood and adolescence of his life. It has become a memory in his heart that can never be erased.
Even if he came to the Great Spirit Realm, he still couldn't forget that home with thin spiritual energy.
Tiger Batian's calm and mountain-like voice continued to sound: "The reason why I am desperately cultivating is to protect our home, if even our home is destroyed, then what is the use of me even if I have cultivated a spirit body?"
Mu Jin's lips trembled a few times, and finally said: "Big brother, the home can be rebuilt if it is destroyed, as long as you are here, I believe that we will be able to build a larger and better home on this land." ”
Hu Batian looked at him seriously, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious: "Well said, Lao Mu, since you know this truth, why do you still refuse to evacuate Zhenhai City, but want to die in the city?"
His voice was not heavy, but it had a tremendous pressure of its own.
A fine bead of sweat appeared on Mu Jin's forehead, and he muttered, "Big brother, you entrusted Zhenhai City to me, I can't let you down." ”
Hu Batian shook his head lightly and said, "You yourself said that your home can be rebuilt if you don't have it, but if you don't have it, then even if I have great ability, I don't want to resurrect you." He paused and said, "This time I am dissatisfied with you, not because you did not send anyone to find me, nor because you could not keep your home, but because you could not let go and were reluctant to ......."
Zheng Haotian and others are all enlightened.
However, after hesitating for a moment, Mu Jin suddenly said, "Big brother, can you tell me if you get along with each other, can you be willing?"
Tiger Batian was stunned for a moment, he groaned for a while, and finally smiled bitterly, and said, "I, I don't know ......"
Everyone looked at each other, and then they understood that he was training people in his mouth, but if it was coming, then whether he could give it up in a chic way was also a matter of two words.
Giving up, and being difficult to give up, was originally a difficult choice question, even for a tenth-order peak powerhouse like him.
Zheng Haotian asked himself, if Bear Wolf Mountain was about to encounter a catastrophe, then what choice would he make.
Do you abandon the city and flee, or fight to the end?
However, he thought about it for a long time, but there was no answer to the same question.
This kind of problem cannot be solved by imagination alone, and no one will know their choice unless it is happening. However, Zheng Haotian would rather never encounter such a choice.
Mu Jin looked into the distance, where the sea waves rose, except for the corpses of the sea beasts, there was no longer a living army of the sea clan. He let out a long sigh and said, "It's a pity that we weren't able to wipe out all of these damned sea tribes. ”
Although he didn't dare to directly accuse Hu Batian, he still inevitably complained a little more in his heart.
After all, after this great war, the humans and the Sea Clan in Zhenhai City have formed an indissolvable hatred, as long as there is the slightest possibility, Mu Jin will definitely not let the Sea Clan leave.
The corners of Hu Batian's mouth twitched slightly, and there was a rare hint of helplessness on his face as bright as the sun.
"Old Mu, there are some things you don't know. Tiger Batian sighed lightly, he seemed to have something unspeakable.
Everyone thought of what he said to the Sea Clan, and couldn't help but murmur in their hearts, could it be that there is really some agreement between humans and the Sea Clan?
Hu Batian's words changed abruptly, and said: "Brother Wang Yu, this time Zhenhai City was killed, thanks to your help, thank you." ”
Wang Yu's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Tiger Gang Master, you are too angry, although you are not a resident of Zhenhai City, but it is only a few hundred miles away from here, and it is also appropriate to come here to make a little effort." ”
Hu Batian smiled slightly, he reached out and took out a few things from the space bag, flicked his fingers lightly, and immediately fell into the hands of Wang Yu and the other two aura masters.
The faces of all three of them showed joy, and it was clear that they had obtained the items they were looking forward to.
Looking at the smiling Tiger Batian, Wang Yu immediately understood what he meant, and hurriedly said: "Tiger Gang Master, there are still some urgent matters to deal with below, so I will retire first." ”
The other two Reiki masters also woke up from a dream and followed in the footsteps of Wang Yu.
Hu Batian turned his head, the smile on his face slowly converged, and he looked at Zhang Tao silently.
Cold sweat was dripping on the forehead of the black-shirted sect's main hall protector, and a wry smile was on his face.
"Brother Zhang, at the time of the crisis in Zhenhai City, since your family ordered the city to be completely destroyed, then...... Please leave. Tiger Batian said slowly.
Zhang Tao's face changed slightly, he smiled reluctantly, and said, "Tiger Gang Master, this matter is not something that can be decided in the future. ”
"I know you can't call the shots, so please reply to your master, and let him call the shots. Tiger Batian said indifferently.
Zhang Tao hesitated again and again, and finally didn't dare to collide, hugged his fists, and turned to leave.
Tiger Batian has already said this, if he is no longer interesting, it will be disgusting.
Cheng Jiazhen's face was gloomy, he looked at the city reluctantly, and turned around to leave.
"Brother Cheng, your Cheng family will always be good friends of the Fierce Tigers. Tiger Batian's voice sounded at the right time.
Cheng Jiazhen paused, looked at him deeply, and said, "Thank you." With that, he turned around, and although his back was depressed, he still left steadfastly.
This is a choice, since he has chosen the Black Shirt Gate, then he can't stay in Zhenhai City. This is true not only of him, but of all the people in the black shirts.
Mu Jin wanted to speak again and again, and finally sighed lightly and said, "Big brother, you haven't broken through the spirit body yet, we have offended the black-shirted door like this, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
Hu Batian smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, at least half a year, at most a year, I will definitely be able to break through the limit." Hehe, the black-shirted gate must have sensed it too, so they made the decision to withdraw their troops. If they don't let it, the fish-people will come to attack on a large scale, and they will not sit idly by. ”
Mu Jin suddenly realized, and his heart was stirred.
Zhenhai City, the Fierce Tigers, is finally going to produce a real spirit powerhouse.
