Chapter 24: The Zombie Siege
The night is getting thicker, and the aura of murder is blowing in the face.
At the edge of the outer city, the zombie hordes began to gather gradually, forming a terrifying tide of corpses, their skin festering all over their bodies, a strange blood-red color in their eyes, and a disgusting stench emanating from their bodies. In the moonlight, I saw that they were in different postures, accompanied by heavy footsteps and low roars, slowly approaching the inner city of Jiankang, and some of the brothers who had fought side by side had also become the walking dead.
Seeing the zombies rushing over, the sentinels immediately sounded the horn of vigilance, the soldiers held spears in their hands, their expressions were nervous, and the fierce battles with these monsters for several days made everyone exhausted, their faces were full of frost and exhaustion, but they had no way to retreat, and there were countless old and weak women and children in the city behind them, even including their families.
On the city walls, the archers adjusted the angle and ignited the gunpowder on the top of the arrows, aiming at the zombies in the distance. Xiao Daocheng gave an order, and all the soldiers released arrows one after another, and the arrows shot out like a rain of fire, and the zombies were pierced through their bodies by the arrows, falling to the ground and burning, perhaps only these raging fires could send them back to hell.
The banners on the walls kept changing, the north gate opened, and a general, wielding a spear, led his army into the horde of zombies, who bared their fangs and pounced on one soldier after another.
"Ignition!" The general roared, only to see a sudden fire behind him, and one after another chariots covered in raging fire rushed out, and where the chariots passed, flesh and limbs flew sideways, and the zombies that approached were all incinerated to the ground. At the same time, soldiers in the sky used their gliders to throw oil cans, and in a short time, the front of the castle tower became a sea of fire, and the air was filled with the smell of charred corpses.
"Click, click, click......" Like the sound of a skeleton turning, a series of black shadows galloped under the moonlight, and then the soldiers on the glider had already landed on the ground and turned into a headless corpse, and the glider lost control and fell into the group of corpses in the distance, but in a few breaths, the corpse was gnawed away.
Dark clouds cover the moon, killing people is invisible, Xiao Yan and the others can see clearly that what is flying in the sky is a flying zombie that is almost skeleton by the light of the fire!
Xiao Yan stood up and jumped to the city wall, his figure was slender, and he looked even more handsome in the moonlight. He let out a clear roar, like the thunder of the dawn of the morning, "The sword is coming!" "The seven divine swords in the sword box flew out with him, turning into seven streamers, circling in the air to form a sword array, and a fierce sword qi diffused, rushing towards the flying stiffness in the air." General, I'm here to help you! Xiao Yan's words echoed in the night sky, and the magic in his hand changed to reach the sword qi Lingxiao intent.
The flying stiffness in the night sky directly confronted the sword with Moribai's arm bones, and there were bursts of piercing sounds between the collisions, and the blood of the warriors was constantly dripping from the sharp nails!
Cui Mingxuan couldn't help but light up when he saw the seven divine swords that Xiao Yan flew out, he was also a person who used swords, and the sword was the ancient divine sword-Jiang Xiao, and the sword intent in his body was surging at this time. "Edgeworth Demon Destroyer!" His sword fingers moved slightly, his voice was low and majestic, the sword of the sky instantly rushed to the sky, a huge sword light slashed down from the nine heavens, the two sides of the sword blade were divided into black, and the other was divided into white, under the pressure of such a powerful sword qi, the vision of Taiji Liangyi evolved in the sky, as if to split this heaven and earth in half.
With a sword, all demons are destroyed!
The earth was forcibly split in half, forming a hundred-zhang ravine, the power of a sword, terrifying!
Everyone was shocked, Sun Youyue almost dropped his jaw in shock, he had never seen Cui Mingxuan make a move before, he didn't expect this person to look young, and his cultivation was so high, I am afraid that he is still above himself, and the Shushan Imperial Sword Technique is really worthy of being the supreme Dharma of the Daomen.
Within the abyss, the remaining sword qi flowed vertically and horizontally, accompanied by the cold and ruthless sword will to shatter all the zombies that fell into it, and bursts of desperate roars resounded through the abyss, and the soldiers felt a little creepy after hearing it.
Shen Yue couldn't help but say, without the slightest hesitation, pinched the trick with both hands, and performed the halal method in the city wall, painting mysterious magic circles in the air, these magic circles were like living creatures, only to see the ethereal magic circles surrounding the endless zombie groups in the south, delaying their footsteps.
Ding Lingguang's momentum was not lost, holding a chaotic blue lotus, and set up a huge water drop shield for the charging troops, under this shield, those exhausted soldiers could breathe and rest. Zombies can't get close to them.
Wei Rui silently recited the Taiyi Sutra, and the glow poured out from his fingertips, reflecting half of the sky into a fish's belly white, "Taiguan Divine Law!" I saw it today. Shen Yue thought.
Chen Qingzhi was dressed in a white robe, guarding the east gate of the city, his eyes were fearless, God came to kill God, Buddha came to kill Buddha, holding a pair of Zhao Yun's Qingyu swords and Yajiao guns, for a while, those monsters began to hesitate, not daring to move forward, as if someone was manipulating.
However, Xiao Yan soon saw the clues. There seems to be a zombie king in this zombie horde! These zombie kings seemed to have intelligence, and seeing that their side was invincible, after a strange roar, all the zombies actually stopped and slowly retreated, no longer attacking forward.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first!" The sword aura in Xiao Yan's hand has not decreased, but it is even more powerful, and several people also followed his figure when they saw this, rushing into the zombie group farther away, and they were bound to fight the zombie king!
The zombie king was a thief, and he even disguised himself for a while, so that several people couldn't tell who was the one who led the troops.
Several people carefully sensed the surrounding movements, Xiao Yan held his breath and concentrated, his nerves were like tight strings. No one knows in which direction the zombie king will suddenly find the attack again, in order to prevent a secret attack, everyone forms a circle back to back, while attacking the zombies that are still rushing upwards, while paying attention to the movement in other directions.
The moonlight was pale, and some of the soldiers in the vanguard did not retreat, their faces solemn, brandishing their spears and machetes in their hands, slashing and slashing the approaching zombies.
"Be careful!" Xiao Yan shouted, and then flew in one direction at a rapid speed, only to see a dead zombie that had fallen to the ground and buried in the zombie pile suddenly attacked from the shadows, and slapped the back of a soldier with sharp claws that could no longer be called hands, and the soldier instantly spat blood from his mouth, fell to the ground, and lost his life.
Xiao Yan's figure flashed, like a swift wind, his eyes were about to burst, the sword qi in his hand exploded instantly, the zombie wanted to continue to pounce forward, his head was slashed away by the sword qi, and the unwilling headless corpse squirmed a few times and then fell to the ground.
"Another wave of zombies, southeast!" Shen Yue reminded urgently, as soon as the words fell, he and Cui Mingxuan galloped in two directions at the same time, the magic in their hands was constantly changing, and the continuous consumption of physical energy made their backs wet with sweat.
Ding Lingguang followed, protecting him with the Chaos Blue Lotus, and silently reciting the law in his mouth, the Green Lotus instantly bloomed with dazzling light, sweeping straight to the row of zombies in front of him, and the zombies seemed to have been hit hard, and they fell down one after another.
But they soon discovered that the fallen zombie might be able to get back up again if it didn't twist its head. In this way, it will completely turn into a war of attrition. And each of them is a dusty soldier and simply cannot withstand a war of attrition!
"You stay here, I'll meet the zombie king!" Before Shen Yue could react, Xiao Yan shouted at Wei Rui and the others, and then jumped in the direction of the denser zombie group.
His back was more slender and elegant in the moonlight, Ding Lingguang felt his heart tighten, and a feeling that she couldn't explain it was born in the air, and she secretly made a more decisive move.
A few leaps flowed, and Xiao Yan's figure had disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Brother Xiao's swordsmanship is good, I don't know if the internal force can hold it?" Cui Mingxuan asked Shen Yue between fights.
Shen Yue was silent, although he had not been together for a long time, it was not difficult to see that Xiao Yan was a person who could take on great responsibilities, but after all, he was young, and if he wanted to talk about internal strength, he really didn't dare to answer this question, he pursed his lips, and also jumped away in the direction where Xiao Yan disappeared.
When Cui Mingxuan saw this situation, he sighed in his heart, it was really not good. He also immediately followed closely behind and went to chase Xiao Yan and Shen about the two.
The sword qi in Xiao Yan's hand was swallowed, and in the dark night, it was like a lightning bolt lighting up the sky, and every time a sword was released, several zombies would be destroyed. For a while, the zombies saw that he had no foreign help, and surrounded him, his face was not afraid, and his eyes swept over each zombie, trying to find the hidden zombie king. At this moment, the zombies also seem to be inspired, refusing to give him time to rest, roaring constantly, and rushing around together!
His heart sank, and he was about to volley into the air again, "Behind you!" Shen Yue's voice came from not far away, Xiao Yan stood on tiptoe, his body was like the wind, he flipped in the air, holding a sword in his hand from the sky, his eyes were locked on a zombie, because its roar could make the surrounding zombies pause and react, and the figure of the zombie king rushed towards him in the dark.
The flying sword in Shen Yue's hand had already flown out, drawing an arc, sweeping away the zombies who wanted to jump up and rush straight at Xiao Yan. When it was near, Xiao Yan finally saw the appearance of the zombie king, the evil creature was wearing a silver scale armor, and it was still stained with mucus that I don't know if it was blood or stains, and it was burly and hideous. The evil creature had a cold look in his eyes, as if he was calculating something.
Just as he was about to be killed, the zombie king suddenly turned around and flew to the side, and under him, several black shadows came out in an instant, and several little zombies rushed towards Shen Yue. Shen Yue immediately used his body to dodge and whirl around with these nimble little stiffs.
At this time, Xiao Yan was too busy to take care of himself, he needed to kill the zombie king with all his strength, but he saw a touch of cunning flashing in the zombie king's eyes, and he rushed towards Xiao Yan without fear. The collision of the sword and the claw instantly caused the earth to shake, and a powerful energy erupted, making those small stiffs who were huddled dare not approach here anymore and quickly retreated.
Xiao Yan quickly changed his position with his agile body, and the aura on his body changed suddenly, and the surrounding heaven and earth aura converged, forming a huge air vortex. Seeing this, the corners of the zombie king's lips were sadly hooked, as if he didn't pay attention to this little trick at all.
"Excalibur Thirteen!" Xiao Yan shouted, his hands turned forward, and several sword flowers circled and approached the zombie king, and the gathered aura vortex immediately blasted towards the evil thing with the sword flowers! He secretly thought to himself that he couldn't fight, and this blow used ninety percent of his internal strength.
The Zombie King didn't expect that the little human could have such strength, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and with a wave of his hands, countless flying zombies flew towards Xiao Yan again. Those flying zombies were obviously not of the same level as the zombie group on the ground, with the sound of breaking the air, they surrounded Xiao Yan at an extremely fast speed, and their sharp teeth and bloody mouths were like ghost fireworks that exploded in the sky.
If he is bitten twice, even Xiao Yan's strength is difficult to say whether it will become stiff. Xiao Yan only felt a gloomy aura rushing towards his face, making his pores subconsciously tense.
Xiao Yan used all his remaining physical strength to dodge, and the seven feather swords in his hand swam like spiritual snakes, turning into brilliant sword lights.
"Hurry!" He let out a low snort, and the flying sword immediately flew out like a meteor, slashing straight at those flying stiffs. When Cui Mingxuan and the others arrived, they only heard a bang, and they fell to the ground one by one, shattered to pieces.
The zombie king was not afraid at all, and a black spell instantly attacked Xiao Yan like a rope, as if he wanted to trap him in it as a delicious meal. Ding Lingguang's Chaos Blue Lotus directly enveloped Xiao Yan's body, shattering the evil thing's spell.
Xiao Yan got a gap, he slapped his backhand in mid-air, and the seven feather swords also turned into sword nets and covered the zombie king. The zombie king screamed, and hurriedly used the two small stiffs around him to block.
But he still underestimated Xiao Yan's Divine Sword Thirteen, and only heard a loud "bang", and the zombie king was instantly pierced through his body by the seven feathered swords and fell to the ground.
But that's just a wisp of him! The figure of the zombie king flashed and disappeared into the darkness again. Those little zombies saw that the king was no longer there, and they began to collect their troops, Xiao Yan was able to fall to the ground, he was exhausted, Ding Lingguang's Qinglian was busy turning into a real thing, and caught his body covered in wounds, the strength of this zombie king is not under them! This is Shen Yue's current cognition, but at this moment, he flew over, took out the meditation talisman from his arms and continuously pasted it into the wound around Xiao Yan's body, as the yellow talisman pasted on the skin bitten by zombies, wisps of white smoke and black blood gushing out of the wound were reminding them that they had just escaped death.
