The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

At some point, a rotten egg flew through the air and landed accurately on Zhou Baiyuan's shoulder. This sudden attack was the prelude to violence.

The supply of eggs quickly dried up, and was replaced by cold stones, which ruthlessly smashed towards Zhou Baiyuan, with each blow accompanied by angry curses from the crowd.

The soldiers of the Hongxing Army standing next to Zhou Baiyuan could not escape the impact and involuntarily retreated to the sides to make room for this sudden violence.

Under the baptism of stones, Zhou Baiyuan's body gradually became scarred, blue and purple, and bloody, which was a shocking sight.

After the small stones were used up, larger stones were lifted up and dropped heavily on him again and again with destructive force. Every scratch of the stone left a bloody mark.

In just a few moments, his head, face, and body were stained with blood, and he screamed like a pig being slaughtered from time to time.

Just as the people's attack on Zhou Baiyuan reached its climax, a deafening shout broke out from the crowd: "Sir, we are here to save you!"

Following this shout, a group of rebels disguised as civilians quietly drew out the weapons hidden in their clothes, intending to break through the siege and rescue Zhou Baiyuan from the water.

However, before they could take action, dozens of hidden warriors appeared from all around and, like ghosts, began to brutally kill the rescuers.

All of this was the result of Duan Tianyang's careful planning. He used Zhou Baiyuan as bait to lure out the remnants of the latent rebels, catch them all in one fell swoop, and completely eliminate the hidden dangers.

Under the joint siege of the disciples of Yinwu Hall and Linghua Palace, the rebels' attempt to rescue Zhou Baiyuan was completely shattered. They fell one by one, and their blood was spilled on the square.

Witnessing this scene, the people became even more angry and their outrage reached its peak.

People were no longer satisfied with just throwing stones, but instead swarmed over and beat up Zhou Baiyuan, who was tied tightly to a pillar and had no power to fight back. Some even pulled out kitchen knives and cruelly chopped off one of his hands.

Screams and curses were heard, and the scene fell into chaos and madness.

Amidst this chaos, Duan Tianyang and Yi Shuirou sat leisurely on the second floor of a teahouse next to the square, taking everything in.

Yi Shuirou raised the corner of her mouth and whispered, "Is this the scene you expected?"

Duan Tianyang smiled innocently and said, "Hey, don't say anything careless. He has brought all of this upon himself. Today is just karma, retribution!"

"This time, you have not only eliminated Zhou Baiyuan's threat, but also won the hearts of the people. The people of Shengluo City have avenged themselves, so they are naturally grateful and respectful to you." Yi Shuirou stood up straight after she finished speaking, "The show is over, and I should leave too."

"Let me take you there." Duan Tianyang followed closely behind and stood up to see him off.

"No need." Yi Shuirou waved her hand gently. She didn't like the scene of parting, which would only add to her worries.

She opened her red lips and said, "If fate allows, we'll meet again in Jin Kingdom. Of course, the prerequisite is that you are willing to come."

Duan Tianyang's smile faded, and he stared at her deeply: "When you need me, I will be there."

Yi Shuirou's heart moved. She slowly turned around and walked down the stairs, saying with a double meaning: "Instead of seeing me off, you might as well spend more time with your Tong girl." After she finished speaking, her jealousy was inadvertently revealed.

Upon hearing this, Duan Tianyang quickly clarified: "There is nothing between her and me."

"Who cares?" Yi Shuirou whispered, seeming both unhappy and coquettish.

In the end, Duan Tianyang respected Yi Shuirou's decision and did not leave the city to see her off.

He stood on the city gate and looked at the imperial army marching towards Xifan.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself: This trip to the Kingdom of Jin is by no means an easy task for Yi Shuirou.

What she will face is no longer a mob like Zhou Baiyuan, but the Jin army's cavalry with a wealth of talented men and strong horses.

This journey is dangerous, I just hope she returns safely...

Although the battle of Shengluo City has come to an end, the flames of war at Xiguan are still raging, and Jinluo Town has become the only battlefield that has not yet ceased.

Upon hearing the news that Duan Tianyang had captured the city and Zhou Baiyuan had been killed, Fang Quan seemed to be reborn. He led his troops like a god, marched day and night, and surrounded Jinluo Town.

Deng Guang's rebel army hid in the town. Faced with the news of the fall of Shengluo City and the death of Zhou Baiyuan, they knew that they were isolated.

At this moment, outside Jinluo Town, all the Fang troops are ready to go; soon, the Hongxing army will also be approaching.

How can we, with only 20,000 soldiers, resist an army of over 100,000?

As one of the main cities, Saint Luo City has an indestructible defense and it was eventually doomed to fail, let alone this tiny place.

Deng Guang gradually began to consider surrendering, but he was afraid that he would be treated coldly by the Hongxing Army after surrendering, and that his miserable experience would happen again like Zhou Baiyuan.

Fight or surrender, a dilemma...

The sky above Jinluo Town was covered with dark clouds and the situation was very bad.

Just at this time, Fang Quan sent someone with an attractive olive branch to extend a hand of surrender to Deng Guang.

He solemnly promised that if Deng Guang was willing to turn from darkness to light, not only would his life be safe, but he would also be entrusted with an important task and become his deputy general, continuing to command his brave cavalry.

Deng Guang was waiting for this opportunity. He readily agreed and led his troops to defect and surrender to the Hongxing Army.

Since Fang Quan entered Xiguan, he has never suffered the pain of a battle. The great victory of the Hongxing Army in Shengluo City allowed Fang Quan to unexpectedly gain a treasure - the elite cavalry under Deng Guang.

The power, impact and mobility of cavalry are far beyond the reach of infantry.

The incorporation of more than 10,000 cavalrymen undoubtedly enabled Fang's army to achieve a leap in combat effectiveness.

Without sacrificing a single soldier or firing a single shot, Fang Quan not only successfully took over Jinluo Town, but also brought Deng Guang and his cavalry under his command...

That night, Jinluo Town was brightly lit. Fang Quan prepared an elaborate banquet to warmly entertain Deng Guang and his soldiers.

During the banquet, Fang Quan spoke eloquently and praised Deng Guang's cavalry highly, as if they were unparalleled in the world.

Deng Guang and his subordinates were overwhelmed by this sudden praise, and mistakenly believed that the move of defecting was extremely wise and that they would surely share glory in the future.

However, Deng Guang and others had never expected that there was a murderous intention hidden beneath this feast.

Fang Quan, a former surrendered general of the Hongxing Army, is well aware of the cruelty of power change. How could he tolerate his former enemy becoming a hidden danger to himself?

As the wine got to his heart's content, Fang Quan's expression suddenly changed. He smashed the cup as a signal, and the lurking knifemen emerged like ghosts, instantly turning the banquet into a Shura field.

Before Deng Guang could react, his head and body were separated, and his trusted aides would not escape the same fate.

Afterwards, Fang Quan ordered his men to cut off the heads of Deng Guang and others, and send them to Shengluo City as a token of their surrender and present them to Duan Tianyang.

This move killed two birds with one stone. It not only demonstrated his loyalty and achievements to Duan Tianyang, but also cleverly shifted the blame of betrayal to Duan Tianyang, making the outside world mistakenly believe that he was just following orders and had no choice.

Fang Quan declared to the cavalry under Deng Guang that he was also deeply saddened by Deng Guang's death, but the military order was as heavy as a mountain and he had to obey it.

Deng Guang and his generals were all killed, and the ten thousand cavalry lost their leader, so they had no choice but to surrender to Fang Quan's army.
