Kill me a few more times and I'll be invincible

Chapter 320

The black clouds are like an emperor descending on the earth, overwhelming the city.

King Yu's army hadn't even begun to attack the city today, but a dark cloud and mist had already filled the city.

The city wall has not yet fallen, but there are broken arrows and blood-stained rubble everywhere, which are the remaining traces of the past few days of war.

The air was filled with the lingering smell of blood and gunpowder, which was suffocating. Occasionally, a few screams or cries broke the dull atmosphere, but they were quickly replaced by dead silence.

The palace master rode a tall horse and patrolled the city gate tower area, with worries in his eyes.

The master of Linhe City is a sturdy middle-aged man named Chen. It is said that he was a third-level god-refining warrior in his prime.

It's just that he is obviously not the same as before. His eyes no longer have the sharpness he had when he was in his prime, his belly is slightly bulging, and his body has obviously gained weight. He has neglected his martial arts due to being in a high position for many years.

Palace Master Chen was inspecting the front lines, and he was encouraging the soldiers. In fact, the worries in his heart were greater than those of the defenders.

"This city cannot be defended."

The master of the palace was actually hesitating in his heart.

Yangmen Palace was a lesson for him. On the day the city was destroyed, the palace owner drew his sword and killed all his family members and then committed suicide... So what should he do?

Whether to fight or to surrender, this is a major matter affecting the whole city, and he has not yet made up his mind.

"Perhaps, surrendering is a good thing." The Palace Master thought to himself:

"I heard that King Yu's army has strict discipline. After attacking the city, not only did Qiu commit no crime, but he also strictly disciplined his soldiers... If I surrendered earlier, I might be able to get an official position in King Yu's army."

"It's just that Linhe City is in a dangerous location. If this city also surrenders, it will be difficult for the remaining cities to resist. It will also be a matter of time before the entire Southwest Prefecture falls into the hands of King Yu's army..."

"Perhaps... I should hold on for a few days? I heard that King Yu is a warrior with extraordinary courage. Such warriors hate cowards who surrender without a fight. If I can let King Yu's army hit the wall under this city, wait until I surrender. May I get preferential treatment?"

Palace Master Chen's thoughts were confused and he was still unable to make a decision.

suddenly.

"Master of the Palace, something bad has happened. King Yu's army is coming!" Someone suddenly came to the city gate tower to report the news.

Master Chen's expression changed immediately: "Huh? How many people are here?"

He already had the intention to leave, but as the master of the palace, he happened to be in the city gate tower now, so it was difficult to escape in the face of the battle.

"About several hundred people, all archers."

"Archer?" Palace Master Chen frowned slightly, feeling a little reassured.

He quickly climbed up to the city gate tower and looked down. Sure enough, he saw hundreds of archers coming from a distance. However, these archers were just ordinary soldiers and did not appear to be experts.

Whoosh!

Hundreds of archers drew their bows and fired arrows one after another. The arrows flew diagonally into the sky and were thrown into the city.

Because they were still far away, hundreds of steps apart, these arrows were obviously weak and had little power, and they were sparsely thrown into the city.

"Report, there is a letter attached to the arrow."

"Oh? That's it. Bring it to me quickly." Palace Master Chen was already determined.

These archers were obviously not here to attack the city. They used arrows to shoot some letters in. The content was not difficult to guess. It was probably nothing more than a letter to persuade them to surrender.

Palace Master Chen thought in his mind: If King Yu persuades him to surrender, how should I respond? Should I persist for a few more days, or should I go with the flow...

When I thought of this, my subordinates had already handed over the letter on the arrow.

Palace Master Chen opened the letter and browsed it hastily, when his expression suddenly changed.

This was not the capitulation letter he imagined at all!

In the letter, King Yu revealed her identity, saying that she was originally a disciple of the Spear Saint, Demon Spear Qingli, and lived in Xishan Village on the border of Linhe Prefecture in her early years.

Today, Xishan Village was brutally massacred by thieves, and no one in the village was spared.

As the head of the local palace, the Lord of Linhe Palace cannot escape the blame... Therefore, after the city was destroyed, no official or wealthy family in the city was left behind, and they were all buried with the villagers of Xishan Village. The day the city was destroyed was the day you died, and She would also allow her soldiers to rob her for three days...

"This is not a letter to persuade you to surrender. It is simply a letter to persuade you not to surrender!"

Palace Master Chen cursed secretly in his heart.

"Why did this King of Feathers change her gender? Isn't it rumored that she has a mysophobia? How could this be the case?"

Palace Master Chen was shocked and angry, but also felt pain in his heart.

There are actually many such examples in history. For example, a certain hero once slaughtered the city in anger because of the tragic death of his family members. After the city was destroyed, hundreds of thousands of people in the city were buried with him.

It is said that the corpses of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were piled up like mountains, causing rivers to stop flowing.

Therefore, there are traces to be followed for the sudden change of this King of Feathers...

Palace Master Chen actually still doubted in his heart that the city was really going to be captured, and it was not impossible for King Yu to turn the robbery into a massacre.

"You bullied me too much. You didn't give me the chance to surrender at all. You were not trying to persuade me to surrender, but you were asking for death!"

Although Palace Master Chen is no longer in his prime, he was a martial artist with good martial arts skills in his early years. His courage is not what he used to be, but he still has a little bit of vigor.

"Master, hundreds of letters have been dropped in this city. Do you think we should collect these letters to avoid disturbing the morale of the army and the people?" an officer asked.

"Why confiscate it?" Palace Master Chen sneered:

"Let the wealthy officials in the city take a look. Now we are all grasshoppers on the same line. If the city is destroyed, we will all die!"

Palace Master Chen actually knows it himself... As an official of the Great Yan court, his reputation is limited and he is not very popular among the people.

In terms of popularity and reputation, he is naturally far inferior to the unparalleled King Yu.

So before the King of Feathers attacked the city, the soldiers and civilians in the city were not very motivated to fight, and many people even hoped that the city would be taken down sooner.

There was nothing much to say about this, after all, the eldest brother did not laugh at the second brother, and he himself was thinking about how to surrender better... But now all his considerations have become empty flowers.

"The King of Feathers is so arrogant, so help her and publicize this "letter of persuasion to surrender"!" The Lord of the House gritted his teeth and ordered.

But although he was angry, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

This city, after all, could not be defended. He couldn't stop the King of Feathers, and no one could stop the King of Feathers.

Although the King of Feathers was arrogant, what he said was the truth.

.................

The "letter of persuasion to surrender" fell in the city like raindrops along with the arrows.

With the intentional assistance of the Lord of the House, the content of the letter spread quickly.

"People often say that King Yu is unparalleled in his bravery and strength. He always leads the charge in every battle. But now, after many days of siege, King Yu is nowhere to be seen."

"I didn't expect... she did this on purpose! Doesn't want to end our lives too quickly? Does she want us to experience the hardships of the siege and finally be buried with her relatives?"

"King Yu finally showed his true colors. Seeing that the city is about to be captured, he no longer pretends to be so righteous as before?"

"Bah, I said long ago that this person is obviously a rebel who disobeys the court, but he is so righteous. She prefers to exorcise demons and monsters, and it turns out that she is just trying to gain some fame. Now that the overall situation in Southwest Province has been settled, she will not pretend anymore! "

There are also several warriors who walked out of Taoyuan Villa in the city. After seeing the letter, they remembered the events in Xishan Village and those Zhao family members who had died many days ago:

"It seems that this Yu Wang has indeed been blinded by hatred."

"Why don't you and I rush into Yu Wang's camp at night and tell her the truth? This Yu Wang used to have a good reputation and should be a reasonable person." A warrior suggested.

"You are courting death..." Another warrior shook his head:

"If this Yu Wang really understands the situation, how could he issue such a military order? This person is murderous and wants to let all the dignitaries in the city be buried with him. If you rush to her tent, will she listen to you?"

The people in Linhe Prefecture were panicking, and gradually began to share the same hatred.

However, no matter how much they cursed Yu Wang, from the prefecture lord to the people, they all knew one fact.

This city cannot stop Yu Wang.

The three-day deadline in the "Letter of Persuasion to Surrender" is undoubtedly their death date.

...........................

Outside Linhe Prefecture, in the mountains.

Long Shankong walked on the mountain road, occasionally looking around with the corner of his eyes, looking for the followers hiding in the dark.

"Could it be that the Feather King really didn't send anyone to follow him? Am I overthinking?"

Long Shankong was a little surprised, but then he stopped thinking about it.

It didn't matter whether someone followed him or not, he wouldn't go to Taoyuan Villa.

When Qiao Mu was still a low-grade warrior, the intuition of "Martial Spiritual Xi Jue" allowed him to vaguely sense Wu Qingxin who was far away in Heyang Prefecture when he was still in Yancheng.

Long Shankong was a genuine first-grade warrior, and his spiritual intuition was naturally far superior to Qiao Mu's.

He secretly used "Spiritual Xi Sound Transmission Technique" to transmit the message through the air, and told the truth about what happened in the outside world in the past few days.

".....But the Feather King was unexpectedly a trustworthy person, and he really didn't send anyone to follow him. I thought too much." Long Shankong said in surprise.

"...No one following?" Qiao Mu asked.

"Yes, but for the sake of safety, I will naturally not return to Taoyuan Villa. I will go around the mountain and then leave. Mr. Qiao does not need to worry."

Long Shankong was in a good mood.

He thought he was a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment, and he would repay gratitude and revenge. Now he did not cause trouble to Qiao Mu, and even sent him a message, so it was more or less a little return to the best of his ability, right?

But at this moment, he intuitively sensed that Qiao Mu seemed to be rushing towards him...

"Spiritual Sound Transmission" was derived from Li Changge's "Military Spiritual Sound Secret", and the most original version of "Spiritual Sound Secret" was originally created by Li Changge for the remote sensing of the couple who were separated by two places, so in addition to sending messages, it was naturally useful for sensing directions.

Swoosh! !

A fierce sound of breaking through the air came from the sky, and the sound was sharp.

Long Shankong looked up in surprise.

Just then, Qiao Mu, covered in blood, crashed into the sky, grabbed a young Taoist by the neck, and fell heavily to the ground like a meteor, splashing a circle of sand and dirt.

"Don't blame you for being careless." Qiao Mu said lightly:

"Although you are a first-class warrior and have enough experience in dealing with warriors, you haven't fought with immortal cultivators much, right?"

"Actually, it's quite easy to deal with them. Most immortal cultivators are too arrogant. Just get close to them quietly, and when they are shocked in their hearts, 'How can a mere ordinary warrior be so fast?', just knock them out with one punch."

"Well, that's it." Qiao Mu threw the young Taoist in his hand to the ground.

"..." Long Shankong was speechless for a moment.

He was thinking about repaying a favor just now... Now the result is that he owes his life to Qiao Xi again?

.....................

An hour later.

In the mountains outside Fucheng, a young Taoist entered a simple cave in the mountains.

"Senior Brother Yushan."

"The mortal named Long Shankong did not go to the so-called 'Taoyuan Villa' to report to Qiao Xun. He just pretended to walk around in the mountains and then came back."

"Oh? It seems that Qiao Rong is lucky." Dao Zi Yushan said lightly.

Daozi Yushan didn't pay much attention to Qiao Lun, a figure who was suspected of being a great demon or half-demon in disguise, because the existence of Yu Wang Qingli was the top priority now.

After all...the Demon King in the Hundred Thousand Mountains is already a thing of the past, let alone a half-demon like Qiao Lun.

With its strengths and weaknesses, can it be compared to the Immortal Sect?

The young Taoist turned around to leave, but immediately stopped and couldn't help but ask:

"Senior brother, this Yuwang Qingli seems to be behaving a little differently from the past. Is there something fishy about this?"

"Nonsense. The whole family and the whole village are dead. If she doesn't do something strange, who does?" Yushan was quite calm.

"Senior Brother Yushan, aren't you worried?" The young Taoist said with a worried look on his face:

"Xishan Village is the handle to contain King Yu. Now that the handle is gone, how can the Immortal Sect control King Yu?"

Dao Zi Yushan's eyes twitched and he looked at the young Taoist impatiently:

"Yu Lie, you are so stupid, how did you reach the foundation building stage?"

"Do you think I am a fool, leading people to kill people in Xishan Village, and then giving up the handle? In fact, I am an insider on King Yu's side?"

Young Taoist Yu Lie chuckled:

"Senior brother, please clarify."

"I really didn't expect that the sect's plan would involve the disciples..." Daozi Yushan said impatiently:

"The specialness of King Yu lies only in his Jingwei bloodline, not in his martial arts."

"Today there is no Feather King. In the future, we can support a Southeast and Northwest King at any time. Even if the strength is a little lower, it doesn't matter, as long as it can be stronger than those ordinary warriors."

"Why do you think we, the Yunxiao Sect, want to take people from Xishan Village hostage? Isn't this method too simple and old-fashioned?"

"Uh, isn't it to kidnap King Yu?"

Dao Ziyushan put his hand on his forehead, feeling like he was talking like a chicken to a duck:

"This move is actually just to make King Yu mistakenly think that we and the Yunxiao Sect are holding the people of Xishan Village hostage, so that she mistakenly thinks that Xishan Village is safe."

"Actually, the mortals in those mountain villages are already dead." Yushan said calmly:

"It will be a long, long time before she discovers the truth."

"Stained blood on her hands, put on a mask, acted as a lackey for my Immortal Sect, and caused a disaster of weapons in this southwestern state. In the end, she ended up like this. How do you think she would feel?"

The young Taoist squinted his eyes, lowered his head and thought for a while, then said:

"She thought she had made a major self-sacrifice, but she didn't know that everything was irreversible. Her initial compromise and commitment to the Immortal Sect not only had no good results, but made the villagers die even more miserably."

"So naturally she felt regretful and unspeakable, and she had no one to tell her pain."

"....You are quite knowledgeable." Yushan glanced at the young Taoist in front of him slightly:

"This is our purpose. The so-called Jingwei bird can actually be regarded as an injustice spirit with obsession and resentment."
