Chapter 44: The Choice of Life and Death

The county seat of Donghe controls an area of hundreds of miles, and there are only nine towns under it.

There is a reason why such a large jurisdiction, millions of people, and large towns are so scarce, because the imperial court wants to ensure that any large-scale human gathering place has the strength to resist the Great Demon and even the top Great Demon.

Tens of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of people gathered in one place, if they couldn't resist the big demon, once they were destroyed, the price would be too great.

Rather than this, it is better to disperse the people, hundreds of thousands of people gather to form villages and dock forts, once the village dock fort is attacked by demon beasts, they will immediately ask for help from nearby counties and counties.

Then the imperial court sent martial arts powerhouses and immortals to come.

The losses are much smaller.

Donghe County is the center of the region, with hundreds of thousands of people living in the city alone.

The entire Central Plains Kyushu as a whole is peaceful, and as a county seat, there may not be a war for years or even decades, but no one will let down their guard.

Day and night, in all directions of the city wall, there will be soldiers on guard.

In addition, in various areas five miles away from the city, there will be many guard towers to warn in advance, and in the case of county seats, guard towers will be built ten miles away.

Therefore, when the red-blooded wolf was eight miles away from the county seat of Donghe, it was detected by the outermost guard tower and immediately warned him.

Immediately, the bell of the tower rang.

The bell instantly spread throughout the entire East City, and it rang six times, representing that a big demon was coming.

In the city, the pedestrians on the streets, the vendors who were setting up stalls, the shopkeepers who were opening, and the workers who were transporting goods, heard the bells, and their faces changed drastically, and the whole street immediately became chaotic.

"Demon beasts. "Great demon. ”

So people started running home.

.....

In the town guard barracks, thousands of soldiers who were running morning exercises on the martial arts arena heard the bell and immediately began to assemble the whole team, and under the command of the two lieutenant generals, they quickly rushed towards the east of the city.

Ningyang County is not a coastal area, although it is close to Black Dragon Lake, there are very few real large-scale wars, and many ordinary soldiers will never deal with demon beasts in their lives.

But in the event of danger, they will rush to the front line.

This is their responsibility.

.....

In Ye Fuzhong, on the martial arts arena, Ye Feng, who was wearing a black robe, was holding a war knife and slowly practicing the knife.

His movements were very slow, but the sword swam, each movement causing the air to vibrate faintly, and the foliage around him seemed to have an invisible force.

"Huh?"

Ye Feng suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the east of the city.

"Knock~knock~knock~...."

He heard six bells ringing rapidly in the east of the city.

"The east of the city, the big demon is coming?" Ye Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and then he remembered that Ye Lan went out early in the morning to go to the orphan camp in the east of the city.....

"Not good, Lan'er!"

A trace of anxiety flashed in Ye Feng's eyes.

Rumble~

With a war knife in his hand, he jumped up, like a meteor rushing out of the Ye Mansion, the speed was incredible, and he jumped dozens of zhang, rushing towards the east of the city.

.....

Higashikawa Martial Temple.

In the attic where the Yang Lou lives.

"Senior brother, I'm ready to leave today. ”

The black-robed man with the silver spear on his back smiled and said, "Ye Qing just sent me a message, saying that the big demons in the Ningjiang area have been cleaned by her, and she wants me to go back to the county town and return to the prison tower with her, and then I should return to the sect." ”

"You've been out there for a while. Yang Lou said with a smile: "After returning to the mountain, cultivate well, you are still young, and you may be able to surpass the master in the future and reach the level of the sect master." ”

The black-robed man smiled.

Sect Master, that is the top five peerless immortals in the entire Kyushu, how can it be so easy to achieve.

"Huh?" the black-robed man suddenly turned his head to look into the distance.

"What's wrong?" Yang Lou asked.

"I feel a demonic aura. The black-robed man said softly: "It seems to be approaching Donghe County, and it is estimated that .... It's a top demon. ”

"You and Ye Qing killed the two demon kings on the Ningjiang River not long ago, and it's only a few hundred miles away.... Without the demon king taking the lead, the top demon would dare to attack the county seat. A hint of surprise flashed in Yang Lou's eyes.

"Under the command of the Black Dragon King, which demon king and big demon are not crazy?" The black-robed man smiled: "Senior brother, let's go, let's see which big demon is so bold." ”

Whoosh~whoosh~

The two of them left the attic with a single move.

.....

Six bells rang, causing the entire Donghe County to shake.

But outside the city.

On the hill, Yun Hong and Ye Lan fell into an unprecedented crisis.

"Red-blooded wolf. ”

Although the speed of the red-blooded wolf was extremely fast, with the strength of Yunhong Leakless Realm, he could still see its form and movements clearly, and recognized its origin at a glance.

Among the many wolf monsters, the red-blooded wolf is very rare, but it is extremely powerful.

The red-blooded wolf, born with spiritual intelligence, was extremely ferocious when he was a child, and once he became an adult, he at least had the strength of the Leakless Realm, even among the demon beasts, it can be called an extremely powerful bloodline, which is completely comparable to Jiao.

"This red-blooded wolf...."Yun Hong judged the opponent's strength from his size, and took a breath: "The body length is more than six meters, it is a top demon, comparable to a martial arts master." ”

An ordinary demon, comparable to a martial arts master.

The top demon, comparable to the great master of martial arts.

"It was hurt, and it was a very serious injury. Yun Hong saw at a glance the huge wound on the red blood wolf's abdomen, and the wound had affected the red blood wolf's movements.

But even if he was injured, the top demon comparable to the great master of martial arts was not something that Yun Hong could resist.

Sou~

Under the madness of the red-blooded wolf, the speed was so fast, it was more than ten zhang in a leap, and it crossed hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, and those wolf eyes contained an incomparably terrifying killing intent.

Yun Hong's heart trembled, he didn't understand why this red-blooded wolf had such a killing intent towards himself.

But he knew.

This red-blooded wolf is eyeing himself.

"Ye Lan, run away!" "Ye Lan, run away!" In the light of the electric flint, Yun Hong roared angrily, instinctively pushing Ye Lan behind him, and at the same time pulled out the steel long sword at his waist.

Sou~

Yun Hong instantly burst out with all his strength, his body was like an arrow from the string, and he rushed out five or six zhang in an instant, rushing diagonally towards the bottom of the mountain, narrowing the distance of the red-blooded wolf.

"Yunhong, run away. Ye Lan saw Yun Hong rushing up, and he was immediately anxious.

Yun Hong was stunned.

At the moment just now, Yun Hong had already made a prediction, if he escaped alone, with Ye Lan's strength, he would probably be killed by the red-blooded wolf in an instant, and he would soon be caught up.

If he escaped with Ye Lan, at the speed of the red-blooded wolf, he would chase after him in two or three breaths at most, and at that time, he would not be able to protect Ye Lan.

Opposite.

Leaving Ye Lan behind and luring away the red-blooded wolf alone, although the probability of surviving is still not large, the probability of Ye Lan surviving will be greatly increased.

Because, the bell has sounded, and the martial arts powerhouses in the city will soon arrive.

Moreover, Yun Hong had already seen the three Terran powerhouses rushing towards him at a rapid speed in the distance.

"Three options, no matter how I choose, I am bound to fight the red-blooded wolf, and it will be difficult to survive, but the third option, the longer I hold on, the greater the hope that Lan'er will survive. ”

This is Yunhong's choice between life and death.

Whoosh~whoosh~

Although Yun Hong had just rushed out of the dozens of zhang before turning to the side and quickly escaping, the speed of the red-blooded wolf was too fast.

It's just three breaths.

The red-blooded wolf caught up with Yun Hong

"Huh~" The eyes of the red-blooded wolf released an astonishing killing intent, opened its bloody mouth, and bit Yun Hong with great ferocity.
