Chapter 184: Kill! Escape!

As Chu Yang said before, Li Gexiao revealing his identity at this time will only strengthen Xuzhi County's determination to kill people.

Pretending to be a Jin Yiwei is a serious crime, and pretending to be a prince is a major crime that implicates the nine clans. Killing them in Xuzhi County is actually meritorious. On the other hand, if Chu Yang is really the prince, what good will happen to him if he offends the prince? Anyway, he will die.

If you extend your head with a knife, you can also shrink your head with a knife. Xu Zhixian has no choice.

The government officials formed a formation and pressed forward step by step, compressing the space for the few people to move to the maximum extent. Li Gexiao could naturally see their intentions and attack first, otherwise they would take advantage of the situation and encircle them.

His self-created sword technique "Heaven and Earth is Not Equal" is extremely good at group battles, and with the blessing of Yan Nantian's Divine Sword Jue, sword energy bursts out every time he makes a move, and the sword can actually cut a bloody path.

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were on the left and right, trying hard to maintain the space created by Li Gexiao.

However, whether it is Lu Xiaofeng's Lingxi Finger or Huamanlou's Liuyun Feixiu, they are not martial arts known for killing. They may be clever when fighting alone, but they are a bit overwhelmed when they are caught in a battle formation.

As time passed, facing fierce attacks from all directions, the two of them tried their best to protect themselves.

Chu Yang protected the soldiers who were seriously injured and unconscious. He looked indifferently at these government officials who wanted to put people to death, and his murderous intentions aroused in his heart.

"My lord, if you kill them all, there will be no one left to defend the city later."

"The monster army attacking the city cannot be defended by one person. No matter how expert you are, it will be futile under the charge of the iron cavalry."

"And not all of these government officials are evil-doers. There must be many of them who were coerced by Xu Zhi County to get to this point."

"Give them a way to live, Your Majesty!"

As a blind man, Hua Manlou had extremely keen senses. When he noticed Chu Yang's murderous intention, he quietly retreated to his side and softly persuaded him.

He knew that Chu Yang was a top master as early as in the Bliss Tower.

Lu Xiaofeng could not see Chu Yang fight off the pink skeleton with her own eyes, but Huamanlou "listened" to the whole process, but she never said it clearly.

Chu Yang shook his head and said: "If we continue to fight like this, you will be the first to be unable to hold on. Don't make fun of your own lives."

Hua Manlou still couldn't bear it and didn't want to hurt too many innocent people. She pleaded: "I just hope that the prince will take action later and give them a chance."

"The Yamen are not the Qi family army. They don't have such high cohesion. As long as the casualties exceed about 10%, they will definitely defeat themselves without attacking."

There are thousands of Jinling City government officials, which means they have to kill at least hundreds of people. How easy is this?

"Don't waste the time to defend the city."

Chu Yang didn't think they could insist on that step, but since Hua Manlou insisted, he was willing to give the other party the truth, which was just a piece of cake for him.

Seeing that Chu Yang agreed, Hua Manlou breathed a sigh of relief and once again entered the crowd to fight alongside Lu Xiaofeng and Li Gexiao.

Liu Yunfeixiao repelled a dozen people who surrounded Lu Xiaofeng. Huamanlou fell behind him, and the pressure on Lu Xiaofeng, who was in a tough fight, suddenly dropped.

"What did you tell Mr. Chu...the prince?"

"I asked him to take action later and kill fewer people."

"I think there's something wrong with your brain. The situation is so dangerous, and you still ask him not to take action?"

"If the prince takes action, how many of the government officials present will survive? When the monsters attack the city, who will we rely on to defend it?"

"You are right, but I think you are worrying too much. I have known him for many years, and he is not the kind of cruel person!"

"Master Chu is Master Chu, and a wise king is a wise king. If you don't understand this, you will suffer a lot in the future!"

"Stop scolding! I already regret it!"

"There may be some things that even the prince himself is not aware of. When he acts as a wise king, he will unintentionally become domineering. He has the awareness of a superior in his heart."

"Stop talking. You dare to say the next words, but I don't dare to listen."

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou shut up at the same time, suppressing their chaotic minds and focusing on dealing with the enemy in front of them.

Li Ge was so selfless that he killed everyone with a knife.

The wedding magic skill that Yan Nantian left in his body that day has not been completely digested, and part of the skill is hidden in his acupoints. As the fierce battle at hand was activated, it turned into a steady stream of true energy to fill his Qihai Dantian.

His skill has completely returned to its peak, and it continues to improve, reaching the pinnacle of martial arts!

The terrifying sword killing power frightened the government officials, and even caused the ghosts of Xuzhi County to rise. If this continues, he will be doomed!

"Don't panic, sir, I'm coming!"

Just when the situation was one-sided, the county magistrate who was supposed to guard the city gate suddenly appeared, and he actually brought out all the government officials guarding the city.

With reinforcements, the battle situation returned to its original appearance.

"You're here, what will happen to the city gate?" Xu Zhixian cursed hurriedly.

"Sir, are you still defending a shitty city? How can we defend Jinling?" The county magistrate looked at Xu Zhixian as if he were a fool, "The Qi family's army is trapped, and the south will definitely fall. We can't do it now." Are you going to run away with your brothers and stay here to die?"

Xuzhi County's eyes were dull. He had been an official for many years and had never thought about abandoning the city one day. Because the Qi family's army was there, he never considered this issue.

The current situation seems to be a last resort.

But if he leaves, what will happen to the people in the city?

"Sir, have you ever seen how demons eat people?"

"Just like how you usually eat lychees, peel off the skin and suck the meat in your mouth!"

The last trace of conscience left in Xu Zhixian's heart was frightened by the county magistrate. He stretched out his hand to grasp the county magistrate firmly and said tremblingly: "I treat you very well, you can't leave me."

The county magistrate chuckled and said, "I'm here to pick you up. Don't worry. As long as we kill these people, we'll find a place to hide. Once the monsters leave, we'll go back to Jinling City to clean up the mess. As long as there are people Anyone who dares to talk nonsense will be killed on the spot, and no one will know what happened here."

Xu Zhixian closed his eyes in pain.

"Come here, send the master away from here!"

The county magistrate gave an order, and several government servants helped Xu Zhixian out.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Hua Manlou was trembling with anger, and uncontrollable sadness surged from the bottom of her heart. What should the common people do when they encounter such kind of parents?

A hand tapped his shoulder.

"You always have unrealistic hopes for something, and it's natural to be disappointed."

"For your sake, I have given them a chance."

"Don't worry, I won't kill too many people."

"Li Gexiao, come back!"

With just a simple "come back", Li Gexiao immediately stopped his murderous intention, jumped back to Chu Yang's side, and without further words, he naturally took over the unconscious soldier from Chu Yang's hand.

Chu Yang took one step forward, and a shrine rose from the ground. He stood on the shrine and looked down at everyone.

This moment.

The overwhelming murderous intent pours out like a torrent along with the domineering energy!

All the government officials were overwhelmed by an indescribable force, and their spirits were greatly impacted in an instant.

They did not fall into unconsciousness immediately, but looked at Chu Yang who was like a god in horror, with their bodies frozen on the spot.

The same is true for Xuzhi County and County Magistrate.

Chu Yang formed his hand seals and shouted coldly: "Behead!"

Terrifying slashes followed, like a meat grinder, turning everything in front of it into powder.

The encirclement formed by thousands of government officials was crushed by the slashing storm, and a gap was opened. The flesh and blood were spread on the ground. From a distance, it looked like a giant had been violently torn off a layer of flesh and blood, dripping with blood.

The county magistrate and his minions have turned into minced meat and merged with the bluestone beneath their feet.

Xu Zhixian's lower body disappeared, and he lay on the ground with dull eyes. He was in so much pain that he didn't even have the strength to cry out, and could only silently feel death approaching.

Even if he could survive this way, Chu Yang didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky.

Those government servants who helped the tiger were missing arms or legs. Those who were less lucky had their heads cut in half.

After promising Hua Manlou to keep his hand, Chu Yang naturally did not kill them all. Not many government officials died, most of them were disabled. They would be the first wave of consumables to defend the city later. If they could survive, they would be the ones they had created in the past. The sins will be forgotten.

Extreme pain will trigger adrenaline, which will put them in an illusion of less pain, and it will take a while before they can feel the real pain.

The other uninjured government officials were stunned by the bloody hell in front of them. It was not until the belated shouts sounded that they were brought back to reality.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

"My legs, my hands!"

"My eyes! I can't see anything!"

Under the intensive chops, each of them lost some organs. Some had eyes and noses, and some had hands and feet. They were like a bunch of ruined dolls, lying on the ground struggling miserably.

The more the injured government officials shouted, the more fearful the remaining people felt.

Bang!

I don’t know who was the first to drop the water and fire stick. After a few breaths, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard endlessly.

The government officials who were so aggressive a moment ago were now trembling and kneeling on the ground, hoping that Chu Yang could spare their lives.

Not only were they afraid, but Li Gexiao, who had offered his loyalty to Chu Yang, was also afraid. The moment the slashing attack broke out, he could not feel the humanity in Chu Yang, as if the other person had become an icy demon god with unfeeling love.

Lu Xiaofeng, who had traveled all over the country and claimed to have seen countless scenes, vomited. Looking at the minced meat in that place, he almost spit out the gall.

Huamanlou, who couldn't see the bloody scene, was even more serious than Lu Xiaofeng's vomiting. His sense of hearing and smell were extremely developed, several times stronger than those of ordinary people. The smell of flesh and blood covering almost the entire street would probably frighten his brain. .

Li Gexiao carried the unconscious soldiers on his shoulders. When he saw these people surrendering, he shouted: "Xuzhi County and the county magistrate were preparing to abandon the city. Now they have been executed. The main culprit is dead. If you follow the prince to defend Jinling City, it will be regarded as a crime and meritorious service. Otherwise, Even if you are lucky enough to survive today, you will have to be pushed to the market to be executed in the future!”

The government officials were trembling with fear and expressed their willingness to follow Chu Yang's lead.

"I don't understand marching and fighting. You look at the arrangements. I'll go sit on the wall for a while."

Chu Yang handed over the command to Li Gexiao. As a member of the Jinyi Guard, this matter was not a problem for him.

"Okay, Your Majesty, go first. I'll come over after I've arranged everything."

The situation was extremely urgent at the moment, and Li Gexiao was not pretentious. He did not say any nonsense about the prince stepping back and letting us take the lead first.

The key to whether Jinling City can be defended or not lies with Chu Yang. Just as the county magistrate said before, how can thousands of government officials stop the demon army?

After Chu Yang left, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou approached Li Gexiao and asked him what he was going to do.

"I am familiar with General Qi and know his temperament. Since he dares to leave Jinling City with the Qi family army, there must be something in the city that can help defend the city."

"For example, the demon-killing heavy crossbow specially made by the Qi family army. One crossbow arrow is enough to kill a spirit demon. The power is so terrifying that even a big demon would not dare to attack it head-on."

"I want to stay and deploy these government officials. Please go to the general's mansion for me and see if you can find the demon-killing crossbow."

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou nodded and left together. Li Ge looked at their backs with a smile, silently praying that they could find the demon-killing crossbow.

With the death of Xu Zhixian, news of the big demon's siege spread throughout the city in an instant. The dignitaries in Jinling City had begun to pack their bags and prepare to flee the town that was about to be baptized by war.

The rich man's carriage took advantage of the chaos and rushed to the city gate, while the servants and maids followed behind, holding large and small bags and crying, for fear that they would be left behind.

The government officials who were guarding the city tried to stop them, but they were knocked to pieces by the carriages, and all of them were covered in paint. Those horses were all hybrids of monsters, and their power was much greater than that of ordinary warriors. The government officials could not stop them at all. !

"Let them go!"

Chu Yang stood at the top of the city and looked down at these people indifferently. They were just trying to survive. There was nothing wrong with them even if they left. They just chose the stupidest way.

The situation was urgent now, and Chu Yang didn't bother to persuade them. He would bear the consequences of the path he chose.

"As you command!"

The government officials responded respectfully, and then stood guard on both sides of the city gate like statues, no longer blocking the wealthy businessmen from leaving.

Among the people leaving the city, in addition to those riding carriages, there were also people riding sedan chairs. They were surrounded by a large group of servants, and the pomp was terrifying.

Chu Yang asked: "Who is in the sedan?"

A yamen servant climbed up to the top of the city and whispered: "Reporting to the prince, that is the young master from the hometown of Yan Ge, the chief minister of the cabinet. He came to Jinling a few days ago to play. I heard that he brought many young masters with him. ”

Chu Yang smiled jokingly: "That's the rumored 'Little Pavilion Elder' Yan Shifan, right?"

The yamen servant laughed dryly and did not dare to reply.

The reason why he is called Mr. Yan Shifan is not only because his father, Yan Song, was the chief minister of the dynasty, and as the head of the civil service, he had all the power over the government, but also because Yan Song handed over most of the government affairs of the cabinet to Yan Shifan. The decision will be made after discussion with the children in the east building."

Not like Ge Lao, but better than Ge Lao, hence the title Xiao Ge Lao.

"With the death of Yan Shifan, Li Gexiao should be able to get some comfort in his heart, even if it means collecting some interest in advance."

The corners of Chu Yang's mouth raised slightly, looking at Yan Shifan who was still trying to make a show of escaping, as if looking at a dead person.

"Go and tell Li Gexiao what's going on here, and tell him that if he wants to take revenge personally, he can leave the city now. I can guard Jinling City by myself."

After hearing this, the yamen officer had a cold sweat on his forehead, and he quickly got off the city wall and disappeared into the street.

The city gate was busy with traffic, and people kept going out. The dignitaries went first, and then some store owners stood hesitant at the city gate.

Inns and restaurants, rouge and gouache, silk and satin, cars and boats, teeth and feet, blacksmiths and butchers.

Compared with the wealthy businessmen who have wealth and wealth, what these people give up are businesses that make a living. If it is not endangering their lives, how can they be willing to give up?

"The remaining people are not allowed to leave!"

Just as they gritted their teeth and prepared to leave, Chu Yang waved his hand, and a gust of wind appeared out of thin air, causing people to stagger around and even closed the huge city gate tightly! (End of chapter)
