#286 - Wei Changtian's Empty City Strategy
The bright moon hung in the sky, and the Milky Way displayed its myriad stars.
As the last Qi dragon was shattered, the gale gradually subsided.
Watching Meng Shi fall to the ground, his life unknown, the tens of thousands of people crowded below Yuanzhou City were silenced.
No one could have imagined that the situation would develop to this point.
Meng Shi, a Second-Rank cultivator, was actually killed by Liang Qin, a Sixth-Rank cultivator, with a single strike?
Leaving aside others, even Liang Qin and Liang Zhen couldn't believe this was real.
However, when a figure landed beside them, everything became clear.
"Ch-, Changtian-ge?"
Turning her head abruptly, the blurry vision revealed the man she missed the most.
Liang Qin took an incredulous step forward, wanting to reach out and tug at Wei Changtian's clothes, but at the last moment, she retracted her hand as if shocked by electricity.
She feared that this was just a dream, and if she touched it, the dream would shatter.
Wei Changtian, who had arrived at the last moment, seemed to guess what Liang Qin was thinking, so he took the initiative to pull her trembling little fist and smiled:
These three words caused all the unspeakable emotions in Liang Qin's heart to suddenly burst forth.
She threw herself into Wei Changtian's arms, feeling the all-too-real heartbeat beside her ear, and burst into tears.
"Wuu wuu wuu!"
"Chang-, Changtian-ge! Why, why are you here!"
"I thought I would never see you again!"
"Wuu wuu wuu!"
"Wuu wuu wuu wuu!"
"..."
The cries, filled with extremely complex emotions, echoed in the vast night sky, further alarming countless soldiers of the Great Feng.
They now knew, of course, that it was not Liang Qin who had killed Meng Shi, but the young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes in front of them.
However... what could they do even if they knew?
Killing a Second-Rank cultivator with one move, this kind of strength had far exceeded their imagination.
"Qin'er, let's leave here first."
On the other side, Wei Changtian didn't have time to explain to Liang Qin why he appeared here, so he immediately decided to take advantage of the Great Feng soldiers not having recovered from their shock to quickly retreat.
Liang Qin was not the kind of burden who would only cry stupidly, and immediately wiped away her tears in a flustered manner, and together with Wei Changtian, helped Liang Zhen up, and then walked step by step towards Yuanzhou City.
The three people's pace was neither fast nor slow, but every step seemed to be stepping on everyone's heartbeats, causing the surrounding Great Feng soldiers to feel an unstoppable fear.
Everyone stared intently at Wei Changtian, who was holding Liang Zhen with one hand and holding a knife with the other, staring at the long shadow cast by the long knife in the moonlight, and couldn't help but move their feet backward.
They were not afraid of death.
But they were afraid of power that exceeded the upper limit of their cognition.
"Whirr..."
The sound of armor rubbing was crowded and cautious. Wherever the three people went, the densely packed black-armored soldiers made way for a wide enough passage.
At this rate, Wei Changtian and the others would be able to successfully escape in less than ten breaths and swagger back to Yuanzhou City.
As soon as they returned to the city, Wei Changtian would immediately find a place where no one was around to use the "Invisibility Talisman" on the three of them, then retreat back to Meishan, and then return to Shuzhou from Meishan.
Although the 30,000 Shuzhou soldiers had all died in battle, it was enough to save Liang Zhen and Liang Qin.
"Hiss."
He took a light breath, holding it in his chest.
Wei Changtian didn't know how Zhuge Liang could chat and laugh while staging the Empty Fort Strategy, but anyway, it was really difficult for him to bluff in front of so many people.
Fortunately, he could hold his breath for a while longer, enough to return to the city.
Unless...
"Cough, form ranks!"
"No matter what, we can't let them go!!!"
A slightly weak voice suddenly came from behind.
The surrounding Great Feng soldiers were first stunned and looked in one direction, and then immediately began to run, and in the blink of an eye, they once again surrounded Wei Changtian and the others tightly.
Only one person in the Great Feng army could make tens of thousands of soldiers forget their fear and execute orders without hesitation.
Damn it!
Cursing inwardly, Wei Changtian had to stop and look back.
As expected.
It was Meng Shi, who had already stood up from the ground unsteadily.
[Divine Strike: Special Item (One-time use), Use on the target to unleash a fatal attack, 500 points]
[Pure Jade Pendant: Special Item (One-time use), Allows the wearer to be immune to one fatal attack and teleport to any location within a hundred miles, 500 points]
According to the system description, the effect of "Divine Strike" is a "fatal blow" that ignores all objective factors such as realm and strength.
In other words, even if there was a First-Rank expert, or even an immortal, standing here, a "Divine Strike" could kill him on the spot.
Unless the other party has a mandatory life-saving item similar to the "Pure Jade Pendant".
So, the current situation is obvious.
Meng Shi has such a thing on him.
"..."
Quickly adjusting his emotions, Wei Changtian stared silently at Meng Shi, who was approaching step by step, his expression still not showing any trace of panic.
Of course, he could use another "Divine Strike" to take away Meng Shi's "second life".
But in that case, even if he really killed the latter, these Great Feng soldiers probably wouldn't make way.
At that time, he could run away, but Liang Zhen and Liang Qin would definitely have to stay here.
So, he could talk first.
"Da!"
Ten steps away, Meng Shi stopped.
He looked at Wei Changtian with a complex expression for a while, and then sighed softly:
"Young Master Wei, good trick."
"Hmm?"
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes, handed Liang Zhen to Liang Qin, and then stepped forward to confront Meng Shi: "General Meng recognizes me?"
"I naturally recognize Wei Changtian, who turned the Great Ning upside down."
Meng Shi shook his head: "I just didn't expect that the young master would have the ability to kill a Second-Rank cultivator."
"Since you know I have this ability..."
Wei Changtian smiled: "General Meng is not afraid that I will kill you again?"
"..."
There was no wind in the summer night, but Meng Shi suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
However, he did not back down.
"I don't believe that the young master can kill me again."
"Even if you can, I don't believe that the young master can escape from my Great Feng army."
Two consecutive disbeliefs, Meng Shi guessed half of it right.
Wei Changtian had enough system points left to kill Meng Shi four more times, but he really had no way to take the initiative to escape from the encirclement of tens of thousands of people.
After all, there were no "weapons of mass destruction" in the system.
"Young Master Wei..."
Looking at the silent Wei Changtian, Meng Shi suddenly asked with a slightly smug smile: "I wonder if I guessed correctly?"
"..."
Wei Changtian still didn't speak, just glanced at Meng Shi coldly, and then waved his hand.
"Shua shua shua shua!"
"Ding ding ding..."
The cold light, like silver threads, continuously surged from the scabbard at his waist into the air, and then scattered into fifty long knives, nailing to the ground, nailing out a circular boundary of more than ten feet in radius with Wei Changtian and the others as the center.
"General Meng, it's useless to say more, why don't you try."
In the eyes of everyone who was once again shocked beyond measure, Wei Changtian put his hands behind his back, his face full of disdain.
"No matter who it is, dare to enter this circle..."
"Die!"
