Chapter 16: Breaking the Barrier
A moment ago, the sky was still clear, until the red mist rose in the direction of the Li family's house in the distance, and red rain clouds suddenly appeared.
Before most people could react, the raindrops suddenly descended on Nan'an.
At this time, the absolute heaven pass.
Luo Heng stared closely at the whole process of change when the smoke appeared.
When the raindrops fall on the body, a smell that makes people feel tightness in the chest rushes to the tip of the nose, and the whole body is uncomfortable.
If such a strange scene had been left in the previous peace, he would only sigh that the changes in heaven and earth were truly wonderful.
And now his face was pale, and a bad premonition rose in his heart, and he immediately shouted loudly from side to side.
"Close the gates!"
The footsteps did not stop, and hurriedly ran up to the city tower to ring the alarm bell.
"Knock knock~"
The garrison soldiers who were training in the pass were attracted by the red rain falling from the sky, and now they were awakened by the sound of the bell, and habitually looked at the mountains on both sides, but did not light the wolf smoke.
The wounded soldiers and soldiers who came from other places were even more bitter in their hearts, and they had only fled for a few days or even a day, and their injuries had not healed and they were exhausted, but at this time they came to fight again.
In addition, there were all kinds of subordinate people, most of whom were peasants and craftsmen, and the merchants and scholars who came here in peacetime had long since left.
They were panicked and could not leave without the order of the commander-in-chief.
The soldiers on the city tower were also at a loss at this time.
Qi Qi looked at the bell ringer.
"Luo Heng, what are you doing!"
People arrive before they make a sound.
Luo Heng's face changed, he put down the bell pestle, knelt on one knee, pressed his left hand on his knee, and replied urgently.
"Back to the general army, a vision from the sky may be chaotic!"
Out of it came a seven-foot-tall veteran wearing heavy armor, a black cloak around his neck, and a sword at his waist.
Although his hair and beard are gray, his posture is straight but he is like a pine, and his momentum is as strong as the sun.
This person Bai Pingqiu, his temperament is as violent as fire, righteous and awe-inspiring, he has always despised treacherous and rebellious, and does not go along with traitorous ministers.
Originally a second-rank military attaché, he was framed by others, and was gradually demoted to a vacant position in the general army, and was appointed at this time of crisis, and is now the general of the city guarding the heavens.
Interestingly, the person who proposed to demote him at the beginning was Li Guoqiang, and later received the appointment because this person recommended him in front of the emperor.
Bai Pingqiu wiped the red water from his face, shook off his bloody hand, looked at the red curtain in the sky, and frowned.
"There is no camp outside the city, and there is no smoke in the two mountains!"
After saying that, he looked around, the city gate was closed, and the remnants of the soldiers who had been throwing in one after another were blocked.
The defenders had stopped training and lined up their formations, ready to go.
The rest of the key points were also guarded by troops, and there was a lot of noise among each other.
Retracting his gaze, his eyes fell on Luo Heng, his hand against the sword lattice, and he scolded sternly:
"Nothing to do with the army, do you know what kind of military law you have to subject!"
Luo Heng's face turned even paler, he opened his mouth and had nothing to say, his previous behavior was just panic in his heart, and he didn't think about the key to it.
He suddenly thought of something at this time, turned his head to look in a direction, and the thought in his heart turned sharply, and his gray face turned blue.
"Before the humiliation, I let a Taoist from Qingqiu enter the customs, and reminded this person...... Lee Jae is not far from Guannai!"
Bai Pingqiu quickly figured out something, but he couldn't figure out the connection for a while.
"Prime Minister, ...... you?"
Before he could finish his words, he choked.
The rain came suddenly, and it went fast.
Looking up again, the red cloud in the sky also dissipated in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
There was a chuckle in the hearts of the two, the red cloud dissipated, but the dark cloud arose in their hearts.
They don't have time to think.
As soon as this strangeness stopped, the place where the raindrops fell in the Absolute Heaven Pass kept shaking from the ground, and the solid city walls shook, and the towers also creaked.
The makeshift shacks for wounded soldiers in the Kannai area, as well as the houses for refugees in the distance, collapsed and fell into ruins in a short time.
A few were buried before they could escape, and the others were also in disarray, the horror was palpable, and the sounds of collapse and wailing and screaming were mixed together.
Not to mention that the civilians were panicked, even the soldiers were also fleeing in a panic to find cover, and in an orderly manner, there was chaos in a blink of an eye.
The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and the rolling of the earth dragon has not subsided.
The ground was torn apart by violent tremors, and countless ravines appeared in an instant.
A pair of rotting arms emerged from the ravine and climbed to the ground.
"Uhh......h
With the roar of evil ghosts coming from the depths of the Nine Shadows, monsters covered in rotten flesh crawled out from all directions.
Pieces of rotten flesh snapped to the ground, and he opened his arms and roared to the sky.
A monster without flesh and blood is like a tall skeleton covered with a skin, and once it opens its mouth, its skin is torn, and its mouth is as big as a fight.
It's very similar to the previous Qinghan, and it's slightly different from the skewers.
At this time, the earth dragon was no longer rolling, but the next disaster was even more terrifying than the natural disaster.
"Monster! Monster is coming!"
"Run!"
.......................
The monsters stared at the frightened crowd in front of them with blood-red eyes that had no eyelids to cover them.
The intense desire made them roar again and again, frantically chasing the tonic in front of them.
Once the monsters catch up with a person, they often grab their armpits, and at the sound of their screams, their arms are pulled to the sides, and their bodies and heads are split in half.
Blood sprayed and gutted and flowed, followed by tearing and devouring, and flesh and blood were constantly reborn.
The soldiers who have been trained and baptized in bloody battles, even if they are afraid of disasters from heaven, they hate the monsters who kill innocents from the bottom of their hearts.
Especially the wounded soldiers, who have experienced the bloody battles before, and have seen many civilians brutally killed, including their relatives.
In the face of chaos and change, they were only slightly stunned, and they were shocked by the bleak scene around them.
They all had red eyes, and they kept charging at the Blood Demon with spears in their hands.
It was easy for the Bloodfiend to kill them, with an axe that could split their bodies in half, and a single punch that could collapse their armor, and their bodies rolled upside down while spitting blood mixed with shards of internal organs.
On the other hand, it is extremely difficult to kill monsters, and it is not possible to stab the body without dying, and it is not dead if it passes through the head, and it is only possible to cut off the head.
Often, dozens of people go together and pay a terrible price to kill one.
Although they were desperate in their hearts, they were not afraid of life and death, and one by one their flesh and blood fell to the ground.
As soon as the smell of blood dispersed, it attracted monsters in the distance to rush up, and in the blink of an eye, it became a residue, leaving not even a drop of bright red.
Most of the recruits here have recently been recruited, with almost no battlefield experience, and there are even a lot of young people among these recruits.
Just seeing the evil appearance of these monsters made them tremble with no fighting spirit, some peed their pants, some vomited, and mixed with the civilians to flee, making the place even more chaotic.
..........................
The armor on Bai Pingqiu's body was already dented and shattered everywhere, and blood continued to ooze from between his lips, flowing down his chin and out of his clothes, leaving a bloody footprint with every step.
The sword in his hand was also lacking in edges and corners, and his cloak was stained with blood and mutilated.
"Don't mess around!"
With a sword slashing off the head of a blood demon and crushing it to pieces, Bai Pingqiu looked around with tears in his eyes.
A fallen young guard beside him was being torn apart by three blood demons, and his body was spasmed, his eyes were wide open and blood and tears were flowing.
Bai Pingqiu's face was hideous, and he raised his sword and slashed wildly at the three blood demons several times, and the sword body shattered with a few sonorous sounds.
He picked up the spear next to him and stabbed it into the blood demon's neck, twisting it hard.
The Blood Demon kept howling in pain, and the other two Blood Demons stopped tearing and threw themselves at Bai Pingqiu with their blood basins open.
"Commander!"
Luo Heng and the other soldiers desperately resisted the monsters around them, and seeing that Bai Pingqiu was about to die, he waved his spear again and again but couldn't get out.
Then I heard a loud bang against the city gates......
The desperate thought made him cry cold, piercing the head of a blood demon in front of him, shaking his spear from side to side to cut it off.
Seeing the surrounding monsters rushing up, the surrounding area was densely packed with crippled bodies, and he laughed miserably and was ready to draw a gun and kill himself.
Suddenly, three cold rays of light passed, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and the body immediately stiffened, and the eyes were full of flowers.
I saw that the bodies of several monsters in front of him froze, their bloodthirsty expressions froze, and dark red splattered from their necks, splashing his face.
The heads moved forward in unison, clattering to the ground.
Immediately after that, several dark red threads drilled out of the bowl and flew towards the left side in unison.
Luo Heng's face was numb, and he turned his stiff neck little by little in that direction.
I faintly saw a figure dressed in black, with black hair dancing messily, and the sword diagonally holding at his side.
Stepping on the road paved with corpses, step by step towards him.
Every time he took a step, an afterimage would appear on the side of the sword, flashing a chill.
Everywhere the cold passed, dark red splashed, and the head fell to the ground!
The swing of the sword was lightning fast, and it was impossible to see its movements clearly.
If there was no afterimage, there would have been an illusion, and it seemed that the person and the sword had never moved for half a minute.
The clearer this figure is, the more stunned Luo Heng becomes.
The dark red threads did not pause, burrowing into the man's body, his face slightly ruddy.
"You ......"
The man was about to walk past Baipingqiu, and Luo Heng finally saw the man's face clearly, and his heart set off a monstrous wave.
Luo Heng came back to his senses and hurriedly ran forward to help Bai Pingqiu's body, and after a closer look, his heart was half cold.
Half of this Bai Pingqiu's neck was bitten off, his face was frosty and white, and he even had no strength to vomit blood, if he wasn't strong, he would have died a long time ago.
At this time, it was already the time of dying, and he reluctantly glanced at the visitor, and then raised his hand to gesture around.
His eyes widened, struggling to say something, but he finally hung his head and died.
Luo Heng trembled all over his body and let out a wail like an animal.
This is the person who reached out to save him when he was young and his parents died and were about to starve to death on the streets, and later he personally cultivated and rebuilt him!
So even at the critical juncture when Bai Pingqiu was demoted, he did not leave.
Later, he came with him to this desperate danger, and suffered in this barren land, and there was no complaint.
Qing Han turned his head and looked at the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood.
The gates collapsed in a booming impact, and the army poured into the Heavenless Pass.
The figure suddenly disappeared, and when it came back, dozens of blood demons separated their heads.
Luo Heng put down the upper half of Bai Pingqiu's body and wiped his eyes.
Then he turned his head suddenly, looking at the green cold that had been drilled into by dozens of red threads, and his face was flushed.
A cry that ripped the liver and gall.
"Who the hell are you!"
Qing Han's face did not change, he took out a yellow talisman and handed it to Luo Heng, and said softly:
"Get out of here, the defeat is decided, and you can't stop this defeat. ”
Luo Heng's face alternated between blue and white, and he looked at the corpse in front of him and was silent.
Qing Han sighed lightly and spewed out a breath of black gas in the palm of his hand.
With a flick, a black flame fell.
Bai Pingqiu's body burned, and soon turned into a puddle of white ash.
He took out another empty wine bag and put his finger on it, and the white ash was sucked into it.
Luo Heng took the wine bag and put it in his arms, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qing Han three times, but never got up.
"Take this talisman paper to keep you in shape!"
Qing Han turned to the side, put his fingers together, put them in front of him, and said something in his mouth.
"The clouds and evil are in the six skies, how can there be no trace, recite my divine light mantra, and there is a ...... in the sky."
Luo Heng's body gradually melted into fog, and Qinghan's big sleeves flicked like a breeze chasing the fog.
At the moment before dissipating, Luo Heng raised his head.
His eyes were full of hatred, and his teeth clenched and gurgling.
"He hurried back to Nan'an not long ago!"
