Chapter 21: The City

Xue Xuan didn't know all the things that happened in the world, the two kept hurrying, Xiao Shi Tong didn't know where to go, he didn't ask, and Xue Xuan didn't say.

To be honest, he doesn't know where to go, even if he finds his parents, is there still a safe place in this world?

This question, presumably, even Nangong Hong may not have an answer.

The two of them walked for half a month, and the trip was only one-third, and the burden on their bodies had been thrown away by Xue Xuan, because the dry food had already been eaten, and there was not much food left in the storage space, but looking at the map, they were almost in a big city, and there must be food supplies inside.

This city is called Tongcheng, it is the hub place that Zhongzhou must pass through to go to various places, so the trade here is very developed, there are heavy guards in the city, and the town guards the city, and I don't know what the situation is in this Tongcheng.

Along the official road, he killed all the way, and before he saw Tongcheng, Xue Xuan smelled a very strong smell of blood, and turned his head to see the frowning brow on Xiao Shi Tong's face, thinking that he could also smell it, Xue Xuan couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart.

When he walked under the gate of Tongcheng, Xue Xuan felt a palpitation, what kind of scene would it be like to pass through the city countless times before he came, he had thought about the good and the worst, but just as he saw this scene in person, he was a little confused.

The city that the Nangong Dynasty attaches the most importance to, there is no one!

Even the main city of Nangong is not as important as Tongcheng! This is the largest trading city in the entire Eastern Continent, basically all official roads will pass through Tongcheng, and under the guard of countless heavy soldiers, Tongcheng is impregnable!

But the majestic city gate in front of Xue Xuan was so wide open, and the door was full of dried bloodstains, not to mention the door, from the city wall to the city gate passage, corpses were all over the field.

Xiao Shi Tong tightly grasped the corner of Xue Xuan's clothes, he had also seen Xue Xuan kill many walking corpses, but seeing this scene in such a city, I have to say that it was really shocking, and there were not only walking corpses on the ground, but also soldiers wearing heavy armor.

Walking inside, Xue Xuan also saw many soldiers piercing their throats with their own sabers, although he had never studied knife techniques, but looking at the posture of the soldiers before they died, and the direction of the knife on his neck, it was easy to guess.

What a tragic battle this was? In order not to become a walking corpse, he chose to cut himself off......

Are there any living people in this city?

Walking all the way inside, there were a lot of corpses, but there were no living people, not even walking corpses, Xue Xuan couldn't help but sigh like this, if there was not a living person in this huge city......

Looking at the corpses on the road, Xue Xuan's mind slowly made up the scene of the battle, countless soldiers charged, protecting the people of Tongcheng, and the people of Tongcheng also rose up to resist and fought with the walking corpses.

"Be careful, there are countless walking corpses ahead. ”

Just when Xue Xuan wanted to continue walking towards Tongcheng Avenue, the mysterious soul suddenly reminded him that of course Xue Xuan would not take it lightly, jumped on the roof with Xue Xuan in his arms, and looked ahead, only to see an endless line of walking corpses.

"So much?"

Xue Xuan's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing, and he saw that the walking corpse seemed to be moving slowly in one direction, because it was too slow, so it was not very obvious.

Where are they going?

Xue Xuan let Xiao Shi Tong climb on his back, he jumped forward on the rooftops one by one, and with a keen sense of smell, he felt that the more he went in that direction, the stronger the smell of blood became, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

Just as Xue Xuan rushed over there, he felt that the aura of heaven and earth was instantly emptied, and a figure swayed up from the front, and the originally clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds.

"It's ...... Tribulation?"

Xue Xuan was a little surprised and surprised, the surprise was because there were still people alive in Tongcheng, and the surprise was because ordinary cultivators would not appear when they broke the mirror, only if they practiced the anti-heaven exercises or had excellent understanding and talent, they would not be allowed to cause thunderstorms between heaven and earth.

Xue Xuan hadn't seen this tribulation yet, but he didn't expect to see it today, and he jumped a little faster on the roof.

......

"Hold on! When Brother Yiming reaches the Sancai Realm, he will definitely be able to kill all these walking corpses!"

A man covered in blood yelled into the sky, but there was no one around him, as if he was speaking to himself, but only he knew that he was speaking to those who fought alongside him, not only the living, but also the dead.

This is the largest square in Tongcheng, most of the merchants set up stalls here on weekdays, every New Year's holiday, the city lord of Tongcheng will also set up a banquet here, meet the world's people, but now it has become their battlefield.

This person stood in the middle of a passage, the walls on both sides were all made of bulging big bags, filled with stones, so that it was not easy to collapse, this was the idea of the city lord's mansion called Fang Tang Jing, he said that it was better to block it than to be sparse, if it was all blocked in this way, the walking corpse would easily collapse as soon as it was pushed.

Therefore, the city lord has already sent people to pile up countless such passages, in the center is a very vast place, the survivors of the entire Tongcheng who have no combat effectiveness are all here, and each passage is guarded, if it doesn't work, someone will make up for it immediately!

This passage is also very cleverly designed, at a time at most three walking corpses can come in together, and it will be very crowded, the people guarding the passage will stand at the forefront, killing and retreating, and will not let the corpses be too high, if the corpses are piled up, the walking corpses will even step on the corpses of the same kind and climb up, and then other passages will be dangerous.

Because there are many passages, and there are too few people who can fight alone, even the city lord himself has gone up, and some of the slightly safer passages will let the survivors carry the corpses out, but now there is no safe passage.

On all sides, there were walking corpses, and they had been blocked in the square.

"Fang Tangjing, are the people of my Tongcheng going to be so extinct?"

After the city lord changed guards, this Liangyi Realm cultivator collapsed to the ground tiredly, looking blankly at his most trusted strategist.

"Naturally not, when Brother Yiming breaks the mirror, we will have a high chance of rushing out, if not, I still have a plan. ”

Fang Tangjing's expression was indifferent, he was not a good person, he was not before, and he will not be in the future, but he was still deeply impressed by the spirit of the city lord.

"Now it's all in ruin, and you can tell me the plan!"

The city lord relieved himself and looked at Fang Tangjing helplessly, he had met this resourceful man when he was young, and he had helped him come up with countless ideas in his life, it was this temper......

"Thou shalt not say, thou shalt not say ......"

Fang Tangjing shook the folding fan and shook his head.

The city lord had no choice but to look up at the sky and put his hope on the young man, the sky was full of dark clouds, and countless thunderbolts gathered in the clouds, as if a single blow could kill the man who had crossed the catastrophe.

And Yiming looked calm, looking at the countless walking corpses below, and couldn't help sighing, all beings were suffering.
