In the end, Lu Chen did not shout that he wanted to leave with Gu Simiao, but stayed honestly in the county office, staying in the defensive circle arranged for him by Gu Simiao.

The situation is urgent, and he can still tell which is more important.

After Gu Simiao left, Lu Chen summoned the remaining officials in the county office, and gave orders while listening to their reports on the situation in the city.

As time passed, more and more officials gathered in the county office.

As a large county, Xingping County's defense force is still considerable, although there is no Praetorian Guard in the city, but the City Defense Division, Gong Guard, Xuanwu Guard are all there, and the stronghold of Xuanjiwei is also in the city.

It's just that except for Xuanwuwei and Xuanjiwei, the heads and officers of the other armed forces have all been assassinated, and all kinds of emergency formations have also been destroyed.

Now that Lu Chen has stood up, with him here, even if he is the only one, all ministries and departments have quickly resumed their functions.

The half-demons in the city and the evil things that gradually broke through the earth in the yin and evil qi were suppressed for a while under Lu Chen's order to mobilize resources and everyone to organize confrontation in an orderly manner.

If it goes on like this, as long as there is no problem on Gu Simiao's side, this sudden situation can be satisfactorily resolved.

However......

Just when the Xingping County Government was completely restored, Lu Chen just breathed a sigh of relief-

Bang!!!

A loud bang suddenly came from the sky over Xingping County.

Immediately afterward, the originally solid ice suddenly cracked and spread in all directions, forming cobweb-like cracks.

Countless ice chips fell from mid-air, turning into bits of blue light as they were about to touch the roof, drifting in the air with the wind.

At the same time, the originally dazzling brilliance on the surface of the ice layer also dimmed a lot at this moment.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen's heart suddenly tightened.

Lu ...... Lu Shangshu ......"

One of the officials looked horrified.

"The sir...... Can't hold on? ”

Lu Chen glanced at him and shook his head.

"Don't worry, Miss Gu is the general of Shenwu, the strongest person in my Great Xia Dynasty, with her, there will never be any problems."

As the backbone of Xingping County today, no matter what, he can't mess up.

If he is messed up, the situation that has just gotten along will fall apart in an instant.

Therefore, even if the enemy was standing in front of him and holding a sword to his throat, he could not panic.

It's a big deal.

Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven.

Just be worthy of your heart.

Hearing Lu Chen say this, the faces of the people around him suddenly turned a little calmer.

Although they didn't know if what Lu Chen said was true, and they didn't know if the Shenwu General was as good as he said, but ......

A powerful and powerful man like Grandpa Lu is still living and dying with them here until now, without the slightest intention of retreating, what else is there to be afraid of these worthless little people like ants?

However. Reality does not change at anyone's will.

No one can stop what should happen.

Boom!

The ice cracked further, and soon a huge black crack formed.

As the crack deepened, several intertwined lines of light and shadow gradually appeared in the sky.

Bang bang bang!!

With a dull loud sound that sounded one after another, one blue, four black, and five figures collided fiercely in the air, and the violent energy continued to pour around, and countless ripples rippled throughout the space, and the center was wildly twisted and folded.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen quickly realized that Gu Simiao had found the enemy and was fighting fiercely with the other party at this time.

That blue figure is probably her.

As if to confirm his guess, a moment later, thousands of ice-blue butterflies suddenly appeared out of thin air around the blue figure, and beside the four figures, the four spirit flags that were emitting a strange red light also began to condense a thick black mist.

Rumble!

The black mist and the ice butterfly collided violently, and in an instant, a shockwave swept through everything, shattering the already cracked ice wall again.

"Hahaha!"

In the black mist, a wild laugh suddenly sounded.

"I have to admit that Your Excellency is indeed very strong, and with his own strength alone, he can block the ancient fierce array that the four of us and other senior brothers have been preparing for a long time, not only that, even if he holds the entire city, he still has the strength to suppress us and other Cave Void Great Perfection cultivators, but ......"

At this, he paused slightly, and there was a hint of smugness in his tone.

"But when the manpower is poor, the four of my brothers work together, even in the face of the strong people of the Guiyi Realm, they have the power to fight, no matter how strong you are, there is a city of untouchables to drag you down, it is impossible to stop us and others."

"After all, it's just a pointless stubborn resistance."

Another black-robed man continued: "You and I have no grievances in the past, and we have no enemies in the near future, but now we can't do anything, why force it?" You are still young, it is better to go quickly, leave a useful body, or you may be able to achieve immortal fate in the future, and step into the fairy road, why bother to fight with us here to the death? ”

"It's better to go quickly"

"It's better to go quickly"

The demon's whispering words resounded through the sky, echoing from the special structure of the ice.

Soon, the whole city heard the faint sound.

In an instant, most people's hearts were raised to their throats, and many people had the courage to open the windows, raise their heads, and look at the sky that had turned into daylight, and the fierce battle was close to white-hot.

The officials also became nervous again.

Only Lu Chen, as always, looked as usual.

Gu Simiao didn't speak, but held her breath and concentrated, concentrating on controlling the surging spiritual veins and countless blue ice butterflies in her body.

At this time, although she was still dressed in white and her body was spotless, fine sweat oozed from her face, and her expression was quite dignified, obviously.

As the black-robed man said, while protecting the people of the whole city, while fighting against the masters of the Four Cave Void Realm Great Perfection, even for her, it was really a bit reluctant.

Not to mention anything else, the extremely rapid consumption of spiritual power alone made her very unbearable.

After all, the scope was large enough to encompass the nine overlapping waves of the entire city, and if resources were used to pile up, I am afraid that the consumption of spirit stones to activate a heaven-level magic circle would not be enough.

She also maintained the operation of the technique, forcibly severing the connection between the ancient murderous arrays, and fought fiercely.

There are only a handful of people in the world who can do this.

It is impossible for Chai Hongyu and Fu Huan, who are also martial artists of the One Realm, to do it.

But that's already her limit.

If she was more sensible, before her spiritual power was completely exhausted, she should think about a way out now and quickly find a chance to leave.

Although it is possible to defeat the enemy, the risk is too great, at least it is a five-to-five situation, and it is impossible to risk oneself.

As for the people of the city?

How can an extremely strong One Realm powerhouse be important?

If the city is gone, it can be rebuilt, and if a strong person like Gu Simiao is gone, it will definitely be an unacceptable loss for the Great Xia Dynasty.

In this world where cultivators are supreme, the lives of ordinary people are never as valuable as the lives of cultivators, not to mention that Gu Simiao has tried her best to protect herself when she can't do anything, so she can have a clear conscience.

But.

At this time, even though her spiritual power had bottomed out, she still did not have the slightest reservation, let alone withdraw the spiritual power that maintained the operation of the immortal path, but continued to maintain the power of the earth immortal to resist the erosion of the ancient fierce array.

Even in order to prevent the broken ice from falling and hurting the people below, she was multitasking, distracting and using magic methods to shake the falling broken ice away.

No matter what the enemy said, she did not waver in the slightest.

And it's easy to see why she's done this.

Since Lu Chen wants to live and die with the people of Xingping County, she naturally has to live and die with him.

"No more nonsense!"

Gu Simiao scolded, clenched the ice blade in her hand, and her eyes were extremely firm and stuck under the last layer of ice, not giving the enemy any chance to take advantage of.

"As long as the deity is still there, you can succeed!"

Hearing this sonorous and powerful response, the four black-robed men suddenly fell silent.

Although I don't understand why this young and cultivated woman who is too tall to speak would risk falling and fight with them, now is not the time to think about this.

They have invested too much for this plan, and it is impossible to give up halfway, since the other party is unwilling to back down, then they can only throw all the remaining resources into it, desperate.

Either get rich once or start all over again.

After knowing the attitude of the other party, there is no more nonsense on both sides.

In the next second, the huge spiritual power began to roar wildly, and the natural calamity-level spiritual power continued to erupt in mid-air, and then turned into countless shock waves in the violent collision, and swept away in all directions.

Behind Gu Simiao, although the ice wall towering in the sky was already crumbling in the shock wave, it just didn't completely shatter, allowing the yin aura that was aroused in the city and the black fog shrouded outside to converge, completely launching the Ancient Fierce Array.

Almost everyone in the city watched the battle in the sky nervously, and many people realized that the outcome of this death match was likely to be their own fate.

"Hah. Hah

After a while, Gu Simiao's face gradually showed a languid color, and her breathing became a little heavy.

"Good chance!"

Under the great consumption of spiritual power, she seemed to have finally revealed a flaw, and the two black-robed people seized the opportunity to control the black mist to directly hit her jade back.

Boom!

With a dull loud noise, the blue ice chips flew away, and Gu Simiao's delicate body fell heavily from mid-air as if it had been hit by a giant hammer, and finally smashed into the county hall hall, smashing a huge pit on the ground in an instant.

And seeing the blue light falling in mid-air, many people's hearts suddenly sank.

Lu Chen sighed secretly, ignored the terrified gaze on the side, got up silently, and walked towards the lobby where the rocks were flying.

However, he didn't notice that in the thick dust mist, a few faint blue rays suddenly rose into the sky, turning into imperceptible thin lines, and in the blink of an eye, they were connected to the black-robed man who had just hit her (end of this chapter)
