Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time

(22)

It had been several days since Xiao returned from the border. He noticed that the beast tide had thinned significantly and had been blocked outside the defense line. There were also reinforcements coming from Liyue Harbor, layer upon layer, with flags flying, armor shining, and an imposing manner. They firmly defended the defense line against the overwhelming beast tide, forcing the area of ​​dozens of miles below Wangshu Inn to be without a single beast.

And the dark green blouse was stained with blood and turned deep red. It was impossible to tell what she looked like before. The girl looked dusty but fierce. She was holding a gun and resting under the sign of Wangshu Inn. Ten days had passed. The girl who was gentle and clear like the spring breeze had been stained with the smell of blood, like a sharp sword out of its sheath, as fierce as a hurricane.

“…You, have worked hard.” Xiao walked towards her. He was also covered in dust and soaked in sweat and blood.

“Xiao. I want to ask you.” Lin Huan looked at the returning person solemnly and said loudly, “Am I qualified to go to the Stratum Abyss now?”

"You..." Xiao frowned tightly. He didn't expect that this would be the first thing he heard when he came back.

"Xiao, can you answer me?" Lin Huan stood up, a long sword appeared in his palm, and he was ready for battle.

"If this doesn't work, then please help me, brother... let me prove whether I have the strength and qualifications to support Layer Rock!"

"Ahuan, have you...really decided?" Xiao's voice trembled a little.

"Yeah." Lin Huan closed his eyes and didn't look at him. "I've made up my mind."

"Well, then, if you can beat my gun, I'll let you go!"

Noticing that there was something exciting to watch, the soldiers who had retreated from the outer circle to rest but were always busy formed a large circle around the open space under the inn, preparing to watch with great interest the fight between the two strongest immortals present.

"What's going on? Are Mr. Feng and the Demon-Subduing Great Sage planning to fight?"

"I don't know, it seems that... Mr. Feng wanted to support the Stratum Front, but Lord Xiao disagreed."

"I came down from the Layered Rock Battlefield. I remember Mr. Feng guarding the Tianheng Pass behind us, but he himself never took a step out. I didn't quite understand why before, but now... I see."

"I see... I understand."

"But those who managed to come back alive from Layer Rock said that it was really dangerous there. The monsters that emerged from Layer Rock were mostly contaminated by the Abyss. They were stronger and more numerous, and were more likely to erode the will of ordinary people, making them difficult to deal with. Most of the holders of the Eye of God and the alchemists went there, but only a few were able to return safely. Most of them were lucky enough to escape with serious injuries or... they simply couldn't get out!"

"Then I understand why Lord Xiao refused to let Mr. Feng go..."

"But Mr. Feng is kindhearted... She couldn't bear it... She wanted to prove to her brother that she had enough strength and qualifications to rush to help that area..."

“Okay, it’s time to start… To be honest, I don’t want Mr. Feng to lose, but I also don’t want her to win. I believe in her ability. After all, she is like a god sent from heaven in times of crisis… But, if it’s there… I’m not sure if Mr. Feng can…” The soldier who returned from Layer Rock frowned and showed a bitter smile that was about to cry.

In the center of the crowd, Xiao and Lin Huan stood facing each other.

"The green dragon that covers the sky and the sun, with its long tail swaying, roars, and opens its mouth to suck away the dark filth..." Xiao spoke lightly, with a spear in his hand.

"Please explain this rumor."

"This is indeed me, and it is indeed a rumor, with some interpretation. But I feel that there seems to be no need to explain this matter." Lin Huan replied calmly.

"Then... attack with all your strength. I will control the battlefield and will not allow any losses to affect the Thousand Rocks Army." Xiao disappeared on the spot, and the next second, the spear and the jade kite came fiercely with the wind.

"clang--"

Lin Huan held his sword horizontally, blocking He Pu Yuan's attack. He and Xiao quickly distanced themselves, retreated two steps, and then rushed forward again, fighting in a group. Both of them attacked at extremely fast speeds, and the collision between the spear and the sword made a harsh sound, and sparks flew everywhere. Behind them came the sound of drums that were faster than the last, as if to cheer for the two to dance.

This time, Lin Huan did not hold back at all, and used all the killer moves that Hall Master Hu and the teacher had taught her about how to deal with monsters. She was determined to force the person who was always worried about her to admit that she had the ability and determination to stand on her own.

However, who was General Jinpeng under the Emperor? Although she tried her best, even being forced to use her wind attribute spiritual power, she still couldn't force Xiao to retreat a single step. She was even forced to retreat again and again by Xiao's tyrannical force, half-kneeling on the ground and unable to get up, looking very embarrassed.

"…Master Feng Hui, is that right?" Xiao's voice was faint, and it seemed to be effortless and easy. "This is your strength, right? This is your determination, right? But under the pressure of absolute time, strength and experience, how much strength, determination, and courage do you still have left? If there is still, please take it out and let me see it clearly."

"Look, you can't even break through my defenses... What can you do in the center of the Stratum Battlefield?"

"Xiao..." Lin Huan gritted his teeth. "There are no immortals to help over there. It's the brothers of the Qianyan Army and the holders of the Eye of God who are risking their lives to defend. So, even if I don't have the strength to match you, I still want to go to the front line and give it a try. Because I am an immortal... at least I can bear most of the pressure and damage for my brothers, that's enough. In a war, injuries and sacrifices are inevitable, but if I can do it, I still don't want to see too tragic sacrifices. If I am there, I can let the desperate soldiers see the hope of victory in the battle. Will that inspire more fighting spirit? I have witnessed such a turning point before you came back. So I believe in people's will, and I am willing to be such a beam of light to illuminate their way forward. I am also willing to be their guide and shield, accompanying them to persist until the arrival of support!"

"This is what the gentleman expected of me before he left. It is also the promise I made to him that I must fulfill!"

"Xiao, these days I have been traveling across battlefields, never stopping my charge, and never stopping my fight with monsters. Xiao, believe me, I will not joke with myself or my life. This is my determination and will!"

The long sword in Lin Huan's hand stretched out, turning it into a Demon-Breaking Spear. He used both hands to push He Pu Yuan up. The moment he stood up, he lowered his shoulders and released his strength, allowing the spear to slide down. Then, he made another graceful spin and firmly pressed He Pu Yuan to the ground.

The situation thus became a struggle again, but this time, the He Pu Yuan was stuck in a position by the Demon-Breaking Spear the moment it landed, and for a while, it could not be pulled out no matter what.

"Brother...how is it?" Lin Huan panted and smiled brightly.

The next second, there were applause and exclamations louder and louder than the last from outside the stadium.
