Demolition

As the crows flew closer and closer, Lu Chen stood still until the crows around him spread out one by one. When he raised his hand, the fierce drumbeat echoed in the valley.

"Fire the arrows!" With one command, all arrows were fired.The arrow drew a piercing arc, and collided with the crow in mid-air, shaking the mountain instantly, and many rows of crows in front fell one after another, but this was only a drop in the bucket, and soon the black crows behind came forward and were caught The disrupted crow formation took shape again, with faint black shadows emanating from the crowd of crows.

"Let it go!"

Another round of arrow attacks, more crows were shot down, the air gradually filled with the smell of blood, and the sound of countless sharp arrows piercing into the flesh made people tremble, even so the crows did not give up their attempt to deploy the crow array, Seeing more and more black shadows gathering around the crow, some of the archers in the front couldn't stand the corrosion of the black air, and fell to the side and pulled their collars vigorously, and the arrows they shot were also crushed. After twisting and changing the direction, Lu Chen waved his hand again, and the commander immediately hit the drum vigorously.

'Bang', 'bang', 'bang', the war drum sounded rhythmically again, and dozens of soldiers put countless hard stones on the trebuchet, and everyone pulled up the rope with concerted efforts, and cut it off with a 'shua' , The boulder fell, and the machine arm bounced high in an instant, throwing the stone on it out of the city wall. The speed of the stone was extremely fast, and the crow that couldn't dodge it was smashed into a bloody mess. 'Shua' Another pile of stones was thrown, this blow was very violent, many stones were thrown directly into the center of the crow formation, knocking down many formation eyes to the ground, and there was another layer of black corpses on the ground, the crows lost Seriously, the crow formation also changed shape, the desperate black air finally dissipated a lot, and the crows also slowed down their attack speed.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers in the city quickly replenished the arrow boxes and stone boxes.This brief victory boosted the morale of most people, but Lu Chen's brows were still furrowed. He didn't dare to relax, and ordered loudly:

"Archer ready!"

But the Gao Zhifu over there wanted to take advantage of the momentum when they saw that the move was successful, and excitedly asked people to set up the prepared artillery. The sound of "cracking" stimulated Lu Chen, and his heart moved.

"do not want!"

However, it was too late, the people who had been pumped had already fantasized about how to take down these crows in one fell swoop, and the ignited shells were thrown into the crows like shooting stars, splashing countless sparks.The result did not develop as expected. The crows who had already settled down seemed to be aroused by the flames, and their ears were filled with piercing and noisy birds. They retreated, but headed up against the artillery. The sparks scorched the feathers and gave off a pungent stench. The beasts were unmoved, screaming in pain and excitement and speeding up the dive.

"Release the arrow! Release the arrow!"

It's a pity that it's like mending a dead sheep. Some crows have their wings scorched and still open their beaks, making a "croak" sound. bird.At this time, the moon was already in the middle of the sky, but those burning crows were like the last rays of sunset, illuminating the entire night sky. A city wall separated the darkness from the light. Behind them was the entire Anqing Mansion, where tens of thousands of lives were shivering. Extremely weird.

Suddenly, a soldier covered his ears and squatted down in pain, and then ten or a hundred soldiers were all entangled by this ghostly voice, curled up and rolled on the ground, and black blood flowed from their ears. Panic immediately spread in the team, even though Soldiers who were not affected also began to waver, and the commotion grew bigger and bigger.Lu Chen was shocked, and immediately drew his sword and flew into the air.The long sword draws a large circle around the body, and the two fingers exert force at the same time. The light of the sword does not disappear gradually, but a soft golden light gradually spreads out. With a barrier between the crow and the army, the symptoms of those soldiers seemed to improve.Lu Chen greeted, and dozens of crow crackers rushed forward from the back of the line, and the number of people and birds with a huge disparity came to a stalemate in the dark night.

Without hesitation, the crow man quickly spread out the encirclement around Lu Chen. Lu Chen pulled out a wristband, held the sword in front of his chest, and whispered a mantra in his mouth. Sand and stones flew around, and a gust of wind blew in from all directions. Lu Chen's body was shaking a little but he didn't stop. The wind continued to increase. The crows that landed on the ground were like a source of fire. With the help of the strong wind, the surrounding vegetation exploded. Light, a round of blood moon makes the scene in front of me more like Shura field.

This incident aroused the crows' great interest. Many crows wanted to change their direction and fly towards the fire. Open your eyes, raise the sword in your hand and split the sword towards a very hidden direction in the clutter. This strike has the momentum to sweep away thousands of troops. If there is Tiangang to guide the way, the sword energy will reach directly to one of the crows hiding in the crowd. However, the crow didn't expect that Lu Chen's hearing was so perfect that he could hear the crow secretly stopping the crow from moving without permission.A deep wound opened on its chest in an instant, and the black feather was cut off and exploded in the air. The crow couldn't struggle, and fell straight down.

The capture of the leader was like stirring up a thousand waves, and the crows instantly overwhelmed the river. Lu Chen and the others drew their swords to form a line of defense. It poured out from the blade of the sword, weaving a silver net in the air, the mouth of the net gradually tightened, as if there was something on it, the crows screamed sharply as soon as they approached.But even this still did not dispel the determination of those crows to attack the city. Thousands of crows rushed up together after one died, and hit the net with all their strength with the determination to die. It became thinner and crumbling, Lu Chen quickly raised his Qi to strengthen his true Qi, but he suppressed the panic in his heart.

He has never used Taiyi Qi to such a large extent. In fact, he is not sure how much he weighs. Maybe it is the reason why he was trapped in Chaohu before. It was something he could never have done before.These crows didn't know whether they didn't cry when they didn't see the coffin, or they had some other purpose. After the leader was killed, they still maintained such a high morale. If they kept hitting the gas mask by their numbers, they would collapse sooner or later.Lu Chen took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and looked towards the east.

Almost everything was mixed together in the darkness, only the swaying firelight could be vaguely recognized. Lu Chen took a deep breath twice, and a strong force was released from both hands. Taiyi Sword sensed the movement of the master, and let out a deep whine. If it can be transformed into a human form, Taiyi Sword at this moment is a person who has eaten a big meal for three days and three nights and is still being forced into his mouth. .Before the limit that the sword body could bear, Lu Chen stopped abruptly and turned around abruptly. The moment he let go, the sword body trembled violently, and the silver net became even more precarious, but he still struggled to support it.Lu Chen flew down, picked up an arrow bow, flicked the arrow in the brazier, rested the bow on his shoulder, closed his right eye slightly, barely had time to aim, and shot three arrows in one go.

With a sound of 'boom', a three-foot-high flame shot up from the haystacks on the wall of the east gate. Lu Chen turned over and flew towards the lonely sword blade in the air. Lu Chen could feel the pressure on his chest lighten a little. He grabbed the hilt of the sword, and the true energy stored in the sword was reinfused back into the master's body. There was a small gap in the net, Lu Chen was shocked but could not recover, the remaining crows were like hungry wolves descending the mountain and saw their prey, they all rushed towards the crack, the net began to fall apart instantly, a huge backlash Li Yi hit Lu Chen's tendons, heart and lungs directly along the hilt of the sword, and the blood on his face disappeared immediately, the blood in his chest surged, bloodshots even leaked out from the corners of his eyes, he swallowed the vomiting forcefully, desperately Trying his best to fight with the oncoming crow, the smell of burnt and blood brushed his cheeks.

He fell back halfway, swung his arms in a circle, and the crows who intended to break into the city rushed forward without fear after being hit. Almost all the crow demolishers were in a situation where they could not retreat. , Everyone was injured all over their bodies, and no one noticed the veins on his forehead burst out in the melee, and his left hand had pinched himself out of bruises.

"Set fire! Set fire!" He yelled in vain at Gao Lian, who had been half-paralyzed by fright. The crows were already approaching the city, and Lu Chen didn't have the energy to think about it, so he could only kill one more as he said.It's just that there were too many, countless crows flew past him, and the situation was gone.

He turned his head and looked weakly at the city flooded by crows. A light flashed in the corner of his eyes. He had no strength to fight back. He had consumed too much energy and his heart was damaged. He could no longer feel the pain. , his whole body was numb, his consciousness dissociated from his body, his hands trembling in mid-air could no longer hold the sword hilt, he spread his arms out, letting himself fall down like a crow's feathers.

Sword shadows, flames, crows, screams, screams, shouts.

This time, there was no one who could push himself away from the vortex, and no Chaohu could catch him.After all, he couldn't be like his father, Lu Chen felt a little sad, he suddenly missed Shen Jichuan, did he see himself?Will he get hurt?Was he among the crows?Does he like himself?Will never know the answer.He closed his eyes with a wry smile, and the next moment was boundless darkness.

In the dark night, an afterimage flew out of the city and caught the unconscious Lu Chen. The man was wearing a black robe and a hood, and his figure was thin. Under the brim of the hat, a pair of hanging eyes were shining with green light.The two landed on the ground safe and sound. Shen Jichuan only felt the warmth of the hand holding Lu Chen's back. He knew that he was seriously injured, and there were crow corpses all around him. A lot of people were running around in a panic, but none of the crows stopped to attack them. Those birds hovered in the low sky as if they were looking for something, screaming.

Lu Chen was lying softly in his arms, his face pale as paper, the blood from the corners of his eyes slipped down his forehead and disappeared into his black hair, the red marks were particularly glaring on his face, Ji Chuan gently wiped them off with his fingers bloody.The comatose Lu Chen had neither the usual tough indifference nor the private cynicism. He had delicate features and a tender face, as well-behaved as a fragile child, waiting for someone to protect him in his arms.

Such a young man who is supposed to be delicate, but he has to bear everything by himself, neither admitting defeat nor complaining about hardships. I really don't know who to follow with this temperament that can't be pulled back by nine bulls.

He shouldn't have to bear this, he should stand in the temple with a pen and read a book and scold Fang Qiu. Naturally, countless people died for him, instead of sacrificing his life to save a group of people who are not worth saving. He should have been under the sun It was so brilliant, it was natural that someone would bear those shadows for him.

Ji Chuan sighed deeply, and then laughed again. The relieved smile made his deep facial features reveal some softness and sadness. This kind of contradiction seemed so insignificant in the flames of war.He raised his hand and took out a bright and dancing ball in his arms. In the firelight, the light of this ball was almost nonexistent, and the weak beating showed that it seemed to have some kind of vitality that had come to an end. Ji Chuan didn't look up at the crows gathered above his head. He pinched his fingers hard, and there was a moan inside the ball, and then a wisp of green smoke drifted out from it, and the little light that was left flickered twice before disappearing. Without a trace, the beating also stopped.

Finally, everything quieted down.
