Chapter 1374 A Joyful and Harmonious Moment!
A bleak wind blew in.
A flurry of withered leaves swept up from the sky.
Watching the cultivators about to set off, the city guards bid farewell to their families.
Xiao Chen was filled with sorrow.
War.
It is the greatest calamity in the world!
I'm leaving today.
Or perhaps it's goodbye forever.
Everyone has something they find hard to let go of.
An elderly mother and her only son, who depend on each other for survival.
The backbone of a family with young children.
The young man who had been married for two months.
dead.
For them.
It may not be so scary.
What's scary is...
After they died.
The family is lonely and widowed.
No one is taking care of it.
It is difficult to survive.
But even so.
They still stood up.
Because behind them.
Standing there are blood relatives.
Thousands of lights.
If everyone is afraid of war.
Red lightning will surely bring death.
The creatures within the city.
They will all become food for the dead.
固。
They cannot back down.
"Young man, thank you for the news. The battlefield is dangerous, you can leave first. Leave the rest to us!"
Xin Liang walked to Xiao Chen's side, gently cupped his hands, his eyes filled with gratitude, shame, and self-reproach.
This battle.
There are more ills than good luck.
As the lord of Crimson Thunder City.
He had long since disregarded life and death.
Xiao Chen was willing to risk his life to deliver the message.
He was extremely grateful.
Next.
It was the battle of his Crimson Thunder City.
“There are too many demons. They are probably just the vanguard. They can’t stop them on their own. I will go with them!” Xiao Chen shook his head.
Go now.
Extremely dangerous.
It's highly unlikely he'll come back alive.
But he still insisted on going.
One is the task.
The second is the human race.
Three is glory.
aside.
Upon hearing this, several old kings surrounded by shimmering flames...
A sudden displeasure arose in my heart.
Xiao Chen had been kind to them.
But this anger...
It's way too big!
They can't stop them!
One more of him.
That should be enough to block it?
However, Xiao Chen had done a favor for Chi Lei City.
The group didn't say much.
“Young man, have you thought this through? A blood sacrifice-level battle is no joke. You are so young and have a bright future ahead of you. There’s no need for you to die with us!” Xin Liang frowned.
"It's alright, I had already thought it through before coming!"
"If that's the case, then so be it!"
"Old Zhang, Old Li, please protect our young brother and do not let anything happen to him!"
Seeing that Xiao Chen was determined to go, Xin Liang turned to the two old kings beside him, whose qi and blood were as vast as the sea, and solemnly gave them instructions.
"Don't worry, as long as we survive, young brother will be safe and sound!"
"Young brother, do not stray more than three zhang away from us, or we will not be able to protect you!"
Elder Zhang and Zhang Zhan readily agreed, but Elder Li and Li Heng were dissatisfied, still harboring resentment towards Xiao Chen's previous remarks, feeling that he was young and impetuous.
In his view.
A young man at the second level of the King Realm.
Although he was exceptionally gifted.
However, their level of understanding is far from sufficient.
I have absolutely no right to be arrogant in front of them.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly.
He said no more.
"Brothers of Chilei, take care on your journey, and may you return in triumph!"
Xin Liang took a step into the air, ascended the city tower, pulled up the Crimson Thunder City Banner fluttering atop the tower, and waved it heavily.
Black flag body.
Embroidered with crimson thunder.
From a distance.
It looked as if it were stained with bright red blood.
"May you return in triumph!"
"Triumphant return!"
In Crimson Thunder City, a million people roared in anger.
Even those weaklings who were terrified by the blood sacrifice.
now.
He also looked very enthusiastic.
He punched the sky.
A farewell feast for everyone.
however.
The wives, children, and parents of the cultivators who went to battle and the city guards.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a sound.
His eyes were bloodshot.
Weeping silently.
They know.
after this war.
Their beloved son, father, and husband.
It's highly unlikely they'll be able to come back.
"They still have loved ones to weep, but my loved ones want me dead. After today, I wonder if I, Xiao Chen, will still exist in this world. If I die, will anyone weep for me?"
Standing on the crowded street, Xiao Chen looked at the withered yellow leaves falling all around him and felt a chill creep into his heart for no reason.
The world is vast.
The long street was crowded.
But he felt lonely.
Like a rootless duckweed.
Amidst the storm and turmoil.
"Young man, don't worry, with Li Heng and me here, we'll definitely keep you safe!"
Seeing the worry on Xiao Chen's face, Zhang Zhan assumed he was afraid of death and comforted him with a smile.
Li Heng looked disdainful. A boy is still a boy; he may be arrogant, but he's terrified inside!
soon.
The city gates were wide open.
The war drums beat loudly.
Five thousand guards and five thousand cultivators formed the Crimson Thunder Divine Army, some riding strange beasts, others flying through the air, marching in a mighty procession towards the outside of the city.
Their destination.
Xuehuai Village.
That was the village closest to the Demon Land within the territory of Crimson Thunder City.
As is customary.
During a blood sacrifice.
These villages will become a reward for the vanguard of the demon civilization.
They had to get there in time.
Before the demons descend.
Bring all the people from the nearby villages back to Crimson Thunder City.
According to the scouts' speculation.
This is the vanguard of the demon race.
At least 30,000.
The demons were fierce and brave.
Against humans, one can at least take on three opponents.
That's all the people they have.
A head-on confrontation.
It's like an ant trying to shake the sky.
and so.
Their best-case scenario is to catch the people off guard and take them away before the demon army arrives.
of course.
The possibility is extremely slim.
A greater possibility.
They will fight a bloody battle against the demons.
It will delay for at least half an hour.
On the one hand, it provided cover for the evacuation of nearby villages.
On the one hand, it buys time for Crimson Thunder City to activate the formation and set up a defensive line!
But they were faced with an army of 30,000 demons, as ferocious as mountains and seas.
Persist for half an hour.
It's easier said than done!
"Little Qi'er, are you scared?"
Above the divine army, Wu Teng looked with pity at a golden-armored boy beside him, who was only seventeen years old and had a youthful face.
The boy was handsome, but a little thin. There was a hint of fear in his eyes, and his hand holding the reins of the strange beast trembled constantly, but his face remained calm.
His name is Xin Qi.
Xin Liang's most beloved youngest son.
"Don't worry, Uncle Teng, Xiao Qi'er isn't afraid!" Xin Qi shook his head with a smile.
"You're only seventeen, so young! The city lord shouldn't have sent you!"
"My father said, 'When Chi Lei is in danger, we, the sons of the Xin family, must be at the forefront!'"
Xiao Chen silently observed everything.
I was surprised.
did not expect.
Xin Liang appears to be rough and lustful.
They actually sent their own children to the front lines!
……
at the same time.
Xuehuai Village.
Smoke curls from the kitchen.
Peace and tranquility prevail.
The villagers go to bed early and get up early.
now.
Although it was only the hour of Mao (5-7 AM).
The vast majority of villagers.
They have all awakened.
Working by starting a fire.
Xuehuai Village is not large.
There are only about a hundred households.
More than two hundred people.
In front of the village.
The fields are covered with spiritual energy.
The silver ears of wheat stretched out in a continuous expanse, swaying in the wind, and from a distance, they resembled a green river, shrouded in a faint aura of gods and demons.
The earth in the heartland contains spiritual energy.
It was also shrouded in an extremely rare aura of gods and demons.
The most suitable place to plant spiritual plants.
Take Xuehuai Village as an example.
What they cherish.
It is a kind of spiritual grain called Silver Snow Wheat.
Long-term use of Yin Xuemai.
It can increase the speed of spiritual energy flow in the meridians.
The benefits are considerable.
Outside the spirit field.
A snow-white locust tree, which has been growing for thousands of years, stands tall.
The tree canopy is so high that its height is unknown.
Towering like a mountain.
blade.
Each piece is crystal clear.
Silvery white, like snow.
Xuehuai Village is named after Xuehuai.
It is because of this ancient tree at the entrance of the village.
"Ah Hu, you're being naughty again! You have no proper posture, whether you're sitting or standing. Come on, sit down and eat properly!"
"Ah Lang, the farm work is heavy, you must take a rest!"
"Wow, Aunt Li, your breakfast is so delicious! There are even eggs!"
The world is in a difficult time. In this state of affairs, every village is struggling. People are starving and freezing to death. However, the taxes in Chilei City are not heavy, so life in Xuehuai Village is relatively good. Although they can only afford simple meals, they can barely survive. The villagers are able to find joy even in hardship.
"Mother, can I have some meat on New Year's Day this year?"
In a simple wooden hut, Ah Hu shoveled mouthfuls of rice porridge into a broken bowl, staring longingly at a middle-aged woman covered in patches.
The woman was pale and thin, her face weathered and worn. Unlike the smooth, fair hands of other wealthy women her age, her hands were extremely rough and covered in calluses.
Seeing Ah Hu's expectant eyes, Ah Hu's mother hesitated. Thinking that Ah Hu hadn't eaten meat for three years, she gritted her teeth and nodded gently: "This New Year's Day, I'll make you minced meat noodles!"
"Wow, there's minced meat noodles! Great!" Ah Hu cheered.
Minced meat noodles, with only a tiny bit of minced meat.
But for Ah Hu...
It is already an unparalleled delicacy.
Seeing Ah Hu so happy, Ah Hu's mother's bitter face slowly broke into a smile.
however.
They didn't know.
It is located three miles away from Xuehuai Village.
The sound of their footsteps shook the heavens.
Evil aura pervaded the clouds.
Countless demonic shadows.
It is speeding along at high speed.
"Oh no, there's a demonic aura!"
