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

"Sir, I... I have no strength to move forward. I would like to stay here to stop the enemy. I hope you can evacuate quickly!" A soldier with bloody legs curled up on the ground and spoke weakly but firmly to Duan Tianyang.

"We are insignificant beings whose lives and deaths are insignificant, but you are a pillar of the country. You must return to Xiguan, regroup, and avenge your brothers!"

Outside the forest, the Jin army was advancing aggressively and pressing forward step by step, but the dozens of remaining Hongxing army soldiers had no intention of retreating, and no one took advantage of the chaos to escape. They all knelt on the ground and begged Duan Tianyang to go first.

Duan Tianyang looked at the group of loyal and brave brothers in front of him, tears welled up in his eyes. He suppressed his grief and said in a trembling but firm voice: "Since you have joined our Hongxing Army, you are brothers and sisters. You should live and die together. The oath we made in the past is definitely not just talk!"

After saying this, he tightly grasped his long sword and resolutely stepped out of the forest, his oath resounding through the sky: "As long as there is still one brother left in the Hongxing Army, I, Duan Tianyang, will never retreat even a single step! I will fight the enemy to the death!"

His words were powerful and every word was sonorous, which made everyone present feel excited and their eyes filled with tears.

"I have no regrets in my life for being able to serve you and fight alongside you!" Everyone responded in unison, their emotions excited.

They looked at each other, their eyes gleaming with unyielding light, and said in unison: "We will never drag you down!"

Then, regardless of everything, they rushed past Duan Tianyang and rushed to the edge of the forest, firing crossbows at the approaching Jin army...

Crossbow arrows hit the heavy shields of the Jin army, making a clanging sound. When all the arrows were used up, they roared, raised their weapons high, and rushed out of the dense forest towards the insurmountable Jin army formation.

This is a contest of unequal strength, a collision of courage and despair.

The soldiers of the Hongxing Army, with their flesh and blood, interpreted what loyalty and sacrifice are.

As they rushed out, at the end of the woods, a hail of bullets from the Jin army suddenly broke out, ruthlessly engulfing the Hongxing Army that continued to fight.

The soldiers at the front were instantly riddled with bullets, while the soldiers at the rear stepped over the bodies of their comrades, roaring as they continued to charge forward.

Duan Tianyang was heartbroken when he saw this scene. He slashed through the forest in an instant and rushed to the front of the Jin army, roaring to the sky: "Extreme Blade Fury!"

In an instant, the sky and the earth seemed to be torn apart by the strong wind, and countless sharp wind blades surged out like a tide, sweeping towards the enemy.

The Jin soldiers lowered their heads and hid behind their heavy shields. However, how could ordinary things withstand the power of the wind blade?

They hit the shields violently, making crackling sounds, and the heavy shields were blown away by the force. The Jin soldiers in the rear were ruthlessly strangled by the wind blades, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

All around, steel bullets rained down on Duan Tianyang like raindrops, and fragments of armor were flying in the air, accompanied by the blood mist rising from his body from time to time, forming a tragic picture.

Duan Tianyang staggered and knelt on one knee, his long sword deeply embedded in the ground, becoming his only support.

At this moment, countless images flashed through his mind, from the hustle and bustle of modern times to the fantasy of the realm of the gods. The trajectory of life intersected at this moment. He had a bitter smile on his face. It seemed that he was going to die here today...

The blood slowly slid down his face, dripped onto his armor, and then merged into small trickles, gathering into a shocking pool of blood at his feet.

"Sir, hurry up and leave!" The shouts of the surrounding Hongxing Army penetrated Duan Tianyang's chaotic consciousness.

He barely raised his head and saw the remaining Hongxing Army soldiers, only a dozen or so, still charging towards the Jin Army without hesitation...

They wielded their steel knives desperately, and every chomp was accompanied by a crash and sparks, but they could not break the Jin army's heavy shields at all.

As the Jin army's phalanx slowly advanced, it crushed the Hongxing army's soldiers one by one like a ruthless beast. Many soldiers didn't even have a chance to get up, and their screams before death were endless...

"Ah!" Duan Tianyang roared in grief. He didn't even know where he got the strength from. He suddenly leaped from the ground and activated the Extreme Blade again. However, bright red blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. It was a sign that he had overdrawn his physical strength and his internal organs were injured.

As the extreme blade violently poured out, he could no longer hold on and fell to his knees. The scene around him gradually became blurry, and his eyes felt as heavy as lead...

In a daze, a figure seemed to appear in front of him, standing resolutely in front of him...

Such a familiar silhouette...

Before he could make out anything, the darkness had already swallowed up his consciousness, and he slowly fell forward...

After not knowing how long he had been unconscious, Duan Tianyang opened his eyes with difficulty and found himself in a dark cave, with the surroundings dimly outlined by the faint light of fire.

In front of him sat a man wearing a jade fox mask. His face was hidden beneath the mask, leaving only his lips as pale as paper, revealing a bit of mystery and fragility.

Duan Tianyang's consciousness was blurred and he tried to struggle to sit up. In an instant, his whole body seemed to be pierced by countless needles. The severe pain surged like a tide, almost swallowing him back into the darkness again.

He opened his mouth to shout, but felt his throat was dry as fire. He couldn't even utter a moan. Only thirst was churning in his chest.

Just as he was longing for rain, a cool breeze quietly brushed across his lips, like sweet dew after a long drought. Duan Tianyang greedily sucked in the sudden coolness like a hungry child.

However, this gift did not last long, as the other party removed the water bag in time, apparently fearing that he would drink too much and harm his body.

Soon, fatigue and weakness swept over him again, and Duan Tianyang fell into a deep dream again. This time, he felt a sense of redemption and peace, as well as a hint of worry.

When he woke up again, the cave was suddenly clear. He tried to turn his neck, but the pain made him let out a low groan.

"Duan Tianyang...you...are finally awake." An ethereal voice sounded from the side. The gender was difficult to identify, but it was extremely familiar. It was Yi Yunxi's unique voice.

He stretched out his arms and held up his body with difficulty. He looked down and saw that all his clothes had been taken off and replaced with layers of bandages, wrapping him like an ancient mummy with no exposed skin.

Hundreds of bloodstained steel balls were scattered on the ground, silently telling the tragedy of last night.

His sight turned and he saw Yi Yunxi curled up beside him, the jade fox mask still covering her face, but her lips looked paler than last night, like the first snow in winter.

There was a gleam of joy in her eyes, but her weakness could not be concealed. At this moment, she was staring at him blankly, as if the whole world had stopped.

Duan Tianyang looked at her for a moment, his voice hard to hide his hoarseness: "You... why are you here?"

"The princess ordered me to come and save you..." Yi Yunxi barely uttered a few words, and her body fell weakly into Duan Tianyang's arms.

Duan Tianyang's heartstrings suddenly tightened. He ignored the severe pain in his body and hurriedly hugged her, panting with concern: "Yunxi, what's wrong with you?"

Yi Yunxi lay in his warm embrace, and responded with a forced smile, her voice as thin as a thread: "Seeing that you are okay... I feel relieved..."

At this moment, Duan Tianyang was shocked to realize that her clothes were tattered, her lapels were stained with blood, and her chest was glaringly red, with blood gushing out, which was shocking.
