Leng Ruoshuang snorted, stared at the black-clothed people who appeared around, and said coldly: "After hiding for so many years, today I finally have to tear off the mask of hypocrisy!"

The man in black at the head smiled and said, "Miss, you have wronged the marshal like this." He is very considerate of you, which is why he sent our brother to protect your safety secretly. Miss, these people are all from the Demon Capital or defected from the Empire to the Demon Capital, and they are bent on sowing discord with you and tricking you into doing things for them!

Leng Ruoshuang snorted again, stretched out her right hand, and the Heavenly Remnant Sword was already in her hand: "I don't want to talk nonsense with you!"

The man in black frowned: "Miss, don't let the little one be embarrassed......"

The next moment, the sword light struck like lightning. Leng Ruoshuang didn't plan to talk nonsense with him, the whole person turned into a sword light, and it hit him like lightning.

Leng Ruoshuang was full of resentment at this time, and as soon as she made a move, she was full of strength, and she was ruthless. The man in black had just felt a flower in front of him, and when he had just known that something was wrong, and hurriedly retreated, a sword light had already pierced through his heart and pierced out from behind him.

A group of black-clothed people were in chaos and released arrows one after another. Ling Ye and the others were already ready to go, so they were naturally no longer polite at this time. Que Wan'er pulled out the Cold Moon Treasure Knife and fired the arrow, and with a finger of her hand, the illusory spear passed to him by the Holy Maiden turned into a phantom and nailed a man in black to death.

Ling Ye rubbed his body straight up, pulled out the illusory world, and swept the two black-clothed people next to him to the ground with a swing. Xiao Yao's master and servant also rushed into the black-clothed man formation, killing the enemy side by side, and in the blink of an eye, two black-clothed men also fell to the ground.

Although these black-clothed men were outnumbered and took advantage of poisoned arrows and sneak attacks, they were quickly killed and fled in all directions under the leaderless group of dragons. Leng Ruoshuang was full of resentment, she didn't want to let them go at all, and she still chased and killed them when she saw the other party fleeing. How could these black-clothed men be the opponents of the Sword Saint's personal disciples? They were all quickly caught up and killed on the ground, leaving only the last one.

Seeing that only he was left, the last man in black couldn't help but look like earth, and he knelt down in front of Leng Ruoshuang, kowtowing like pounding garlic: "Please beg the eldest lady to spare her life!"

Leng Ruoshuang snorted, pointed the broken cut of the Heavenly Remnant Sword at his throat, and said coldly: "I can spare you from dying." You bring me back to Wu Peng, and I already know his plans and sinister intentions for many years. Blood revenge will inevitably be avenged, and playing with fire will inevitably set oneself on fire! The next time I see him, it will be his death!"

Where did the man in black dare to say half a word, and nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice. Leng Ruoshuang shouted: "Get out! Tell him to wash his neck first!"

Que Wan'er slowly wiped the blood stains on the knife and asked Ling Ye, "What should we do now?"

Ling Ye touched his heart and said, "The Holy Maiden has given us a chance to resist a fatal injury. I want to make the most of this opportunity!"

Half a month later, the holy capital, the heavenly city.

Due to the use of a large number of new weapons by the Imperial Army, the killing force was extremely powerful, and although the Holy Capital Army resisted one after another, it could not stop the fierce offensive of the Imperial Army, and was forced to retreat again and again. The battle line gradually moved south, and was finally pushed to the foot of the Celestial City by the Imperial Army. More than 200,000 troops gathered under the city and besieged the heavenly city.

Wu Peng rode a white horse and accompanied Lan Tai to patrol the city. Lan Tai proudly looked at the situation above and below the city, pointed at the suspended Shenyue Temple above the Heavenly City with his horsewhip, and laughed: "The thousand-year-old and immortal demon girl in the Demon Capital will be terminated by my own hands in a short time!

Wu Peng looked up at the Shenyue Palace, and a strange look flashed in his eyes: "Your Majesty can make such a brilliant achievement, that is far beyond the predecessors, and the merit will be in the future!"

Lan Tai laughed and said to Wu Peng: "If it weren't for the full assistance of your Marshal Wu Peng, I wouldn't have been able to do it so quickly. You have made great contributions to this battle, and I promise you a word, after the city is broken, the fate of the heavenly city will be decided by you!"

Wu Peng smiled slightly: "It's probably too early to talk about it. Your Majesty, the minister suggests waiting and seeing!"

Lan Tai was stunned: "Why?"

Wu Peng smiled: "At the moment, we are making too fast progress, and it is unexpectedly smooth. Weichen suspects that there may be fraud in this!"

Lan Tai laughed: "What else can there be? The demon capital is exhausted, the soldiers are outnumbered, and the mantis arm can stop the car? I only wonder one thing, now that our kamikaze battalion has advanced to the stone dock not far from here, why don't you directly use our wind falcon brigade to drop the stone apocalypse and destroy this god moon temple that pretends to be a god and a ghost?"

Wu Peng sighed: "Your Majesty, the Divine Moon Temple is suspended above the Heavenly City, if we destroy it from the air, the shattered rocks and explosive fragments that miss the time will fall into the city and kill innocent people." I can't bear it!"

Lan Tai burst out laughing again: "I can bear it, Your Excellency Marshal, I now ask you to immediately send an order to the kamikaze battalion in the rear, asking them to attack with all their troops! At sunrise, I want to see them throw the stone into this demon hall!"

Wu Peng sighed, bowed down and said, "Yes!"

In the Shenyue Temple, the four generals all knelt on the ground and pleaded: "Holy Maiden, the current situation is unfavorable, please also ask the Holy Maiden to move back and temporarily avoid the enemy's edge!"

The saint said slowly: "Retreat, where else can you retreat?"

Fourth General: "Even so, the Holy Maiden is the foundation of the existence of the Holy Capital, and you must not be fine! The Heavenly City will be breached, although we will defend your safety to the death, but if we take a step back, we can avoid greater casualties." ”

The holy woman said lightly: "The Heavenly City is the foundation of the Holy Capital, and this city must not be broken. If the Heavenly City is breached, the morale of the military and civilians of the Holy Capital will drop to the freezing point, and it will be difficult to recover for several years. At that point, there will be no need for me to exist. ”

The Four Generals: "...... Holy Maiden!"

The saint raised her head and looked into the distance: "Ling Ye hasn't come back yet." But I know that when he comes back, it will be a great change for us. Let's protect the Heavenly City with all your heart! Don't let Midnight have nowhere to go back!"

Early the next morning, when the blood-red sun rose, the imperial army was ready to attack the city, and marched to the city in an all-round way, arraying in places where crossbow arrows could not shoot, and the black pressure pressed a large area, putting on the momentum of black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy it.

Lan Tai and Wu Peng rode out of the Chinese army on horseback, surrounded by heavy guards, guarding the emperor and the commander and slowly walked to the position of commander of the main formation.

Looking at the formation in front of him, Lan Tai nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! The morale is high, and the armor is clear! Today's battle will inevitably create history and accomplish things that no one has been able to accomplish before! Pass the order, wait for the Chinese army's war drums to beat, and immediately attack the city! The first to set foot on the city, or the first to open the city gate, will be rewarded with 10,000 gold and sealed 10,000 households!"
