Wenling's Dongcheng District is an area where blond and blue-eyed foreigners live together.
At this time, the lights inside had been extinguished by the first wave of attacks from the White Lotus Sect, and the streets were scattered with lanterns, spears, broadswords, and a few dusty Western-style felt hats.
Suddenly, a fire dragon jumped out of the originally dark street. They were Western soldiers holding torches, wearing standard military uniforms, and carrying firearms.
There are probably hundreds of people in this queue, divided into two rows on the left and right, with consistent steps and complete uniforms. They are obviously well-trained elites.
One of the two leaders was Lieutenant Colonel Walder.
One is his translator, Luo Aimin from Tang Dynasty.
They are now on a platform at the highest point of Wenling City, overlooking the war-torn urban area.
Walder stood at the front of the queue, his nose was red, and he was breathing hot air, obviously very angry.
After crushing a White Lotus Sect flag on the ground with his boots, his brown pupils reflected the panicked face of translator Luo Aimin.
"Luo, these white lotus sect mobs, witches, divine men, and fanatical believers have ruined my dream. If they hadn't come here right now, I would have spent a wonderful night with Miss Luo."
"Miss Luo, is this the one I introduced to you before? Your Excellency?" Luo Aimin smiled along with her.
"No."
Walder twirled his beard proudly, "That one was after dinner, and this one was in the middle of the night."
"Your Excellency, you are so powerful!" Luo Aimin gave a thumbs up.
"What does it mean to be strong and powerful?"
"Well, strong! It means very strong. It means you are as strong as a tiger and as powerful as a dragon."
"Stop talking about those useless things!"
Wald waved his hand and looked at Luo Aimin again, "Mr. Consul just told me to cooperate with the army to defeat those White Lotus sect mobs. Do you understand?"
"Understood! I will definitely cooperate and take the lead!" Luo Aimin stood up straight.
"But..."
Walder scratched his head, "Those White Lotus mobs are hiding somewhere now."
"White Lotus Sect?"
Luo Aimin pointed to the crowd of people on the street, "Aren't they everywhere?"
……
"This way!"
Yin Xiu reached out and pulled out a little girl who was about to be run over by a wheel.
At this time, the already frightened parents remembered to come over to catch the child and thank him profusely.
Yin Xiu waved her hand to signal them to leave quickly, then turned to look at Ma Xiaoyu's watery eyes.
"Didn't you say we won't do anything?" she asked.
"I said nothing, because we couldn't help them, but I didn't say we wouldn't save them until death. What, isn't he handsome?" Yin Xiu winked at her.
"If you think it's handsome, then be handsome."
After the initial nervousness and entanglement, Ma Xiaoyu's mood improved a lot and she talked to him with a smile.
"Then let's go?"
"Well, we have to go. Before the situation becomes more chaotic, reach the port, find Liu Banxian and the others, and then we will sail out of here."
Yin Xiu picked up Ma Xiaoyu and asked her to exclaim, "Aren't you carrying her on your back?"
"It's the same! Hold me so you can control it."
"Control what!?"
"It's about controlling what you want to control."
Saying this, Yin Xiu squatted down and planned to jump to the roof.
At this time, a burst of ominous gunshots suddenly came from the street, followed by screams and cries.
Yin Xiu turned around to look, but couldn't help but widen her eyes.
I saw a group of people lying down in front, including the little girl who had been rescued just now and her parents.
Just now, she had no time to cry, but now she could no longer cry. Like everyone else, she just lay there, her body gradually becoming cold and stiff, and the blood dyed the ground red.
"The British army is following the imperial decree to assist the army in capturing the White Lotus Sect! Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"
Only a high-pitched shout was heard, followed by rows of gunshots. Amidst the smoke of gunpowder, waves of civilians fell down one after another.
The gunfire at the port in the distance has not stopped, but these more rapid sounds nearby seem to be the clarion call of another war.
It has nothing to do with the dispute between the White Lotus Sect and the imperial court, it is simply a massacre of unarmed people by the army.
Walder stood at the front of the queue, looking quite proud.
"Luo, our crusade against the White Lotus Sect has obviously been fruitful."
"Unprecedented success, Your Excellency."
"You have a big part in this, a big part."
"All thanks to your leadership, Your Excellency."
When Luo Aimin was flattering him, the firelight reflected in the gold round glasses suddenly shook, and then his eyes widened.
I saw a figure rushing out in the firelight.
"Damn it, there are idiots who came up to die themselves!"
He cursed, and as expected, the soldiers also pointed their guns at the figure.
call out!
The man suddenly raised his hand, and then all the soldiers who aimed their guns at him fell to the ground, lifeless.
Luo Aimin's eyes widened. Before he knew what was happening, the man ran into another group of soldiers.
"Five ghosts bring wealth!"
Yin Xiu threw a piece of talisman paper forward. As the white smoke steamed, he stretched his hand in and pulled it again. He had pulled out Chaofeng and held it in his hand.
Almost as soon as he caught it in his hand, cold light flashed, and several soldiers had blood spurting from their throats and fell to the ground.
Khorne Link!
A chain that only Yin Xiu could see was hung from him to a dozen soldiers around him.
After turning around, he strode back to running. Every time the Wind-Mocking Sword flipped up and down in his hand, one person's life would be harvested, and at the same time, one person's blood would be captured by Yin Xiu.
Walder was stunned. It wasn't until the people around him screamed that he realized what he was doing and yelled at his men: "Kill that Tang man!"
A series of sounds of military boots hitting the ground were as rapid as raindrops. Soldiers from the surrounding neighborhoods were dispatched and gathered around in small groups, searching and gathering.
When Yin Xiu saw this, he had no intention of retreating at all. After cutting down one person, he turned over with a kite, smashed the glass and jumped into the room, avoiding the bullets that came like a rainstorm.
The soldiers couldn't help but be a little surprised. When they cautiously gathered around to check, Yin Xiu had jumped out from the other side, bringing up another cloud of blood mist.
With large numbers of soldiers and muskets, Yin Xiu walked around in the alley. With his flexible footwork and the cover of various obstacles, the soldiers were often killed by him with one blow without even noticing where he was. .
Even so, after cutting down another group of people, his shoulders and abdomen were still dripping with blood—a few cold shots or stray bullets had hit him.
If [Khorne Link] and [Ancestral Flesh] hadn't been treating his injuries, Yin Xiu might have collapsed, just like the cold corpses before.
"Let me do it!" Walder snatched the specially-made sniper rifle from the soldier's hand, stepped away, put it on the wall on one side, and pointed it at Yin Xiutu's dancing figure.
Bang!
Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and his shot missed, splashing a few pieces of gravel around Yin Xiu.
Walder woke up and was dumbfounded. He was a famous sharpshooter in the army. With many years of marksmanship, special firearms, and a very safe position, there was no way he would miss.
And speaking of it, he didn't miss just now, but lost his mind!
The moment he aimed at Yin Xiu, his eyes blurred, multiple shadows appeared in front of him, and he missed with one shot.
In fact, many soldiers had the same situation as Yin Xiu when they aimed at him. The closer they were and the longer they aimed at him, the higher the probability of this situation occurring.
And, the most important thing is, even if he gets hit by luck, as long as he doesn't die or loses the ability to move, he can quickly recover after killing one or several people, as if nothing happened.
This has to make people wonder whether Yin Xiu is the legendary immortal devil. As long as he keeps killing, he will become stronger with the power of flesh and blood.
As this continued, the front line finally began to waver. More and more soldiers no longer moved forward, but occupied various street corners and buildings. They changed from offense to defense, relying on the terrain to stop Yin Xiu.
But this was also a futile struggle. In the span of a cup of tea, fire broke out in several places, and several more people died.
However, in fact, although the recovery ability of [Khorne Link] is exaggerated, Yin Xiu is also a mortal body, and too many injuries will drag him down.
So he had to fight quickly, kill through a line, or find the leader.
Wald's shot just now made Yin Xiu notice him, the leader of this army.
Finally found it!
Yin Xiu's feet were a little lower, and fluttering leaves were flying toward Walder.
Projectiles like a gust of wind and rain immediately shot towards Yin Xiu from all directions, but in the next moment his figure became transparent and disappeared into the shadow.
Watching him disappear into thin air, Walder was so frightened that he raised his signal gun and fired it into the air without caring.
As a fireball exploded in the air, everyone in the city saw the signal. Under the light of the fire, Yin Xiu also appeared again.
Several soldiers with quick hands immediately turned their guns and shot at Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu was shot through the body by a bullet, and blood spurted out from his ribs and shoulders.
But he still stared at Walder, his eyes filled with unquenchable rage.
"You're a fool! You bastard!"
The Wind-Mocking Sword spun around in his hand, and Walder's head flew up.
The moment Luo Aimin saw the lieutenant colonel killed in battle, he was already frightened. He threw aside the gun he was using for self-defense and stumbled out.
After running out for a long time, he finally stopped and exhaled, feeling a sweet taste in his throat.
Just then, the shadows flowed and a person appeared from inside.
Luo Aimin lowered his head, and the first thing he saw was the woman's graceful figure.
So he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Miss, it's very dangerous here, why not let me..."
Luo Aimin raised his head, only to be faced with a green-faced evil ghost mask with teeth and claws, red eyes and an open mouth!
His face turned pale with fright, but he vaguely heard a gentle female voice coming from behind the mask.
"What?" He subconsciously stuck his head forward.
Click!
Luo Aimin's head was placed on a pair of thin hands and gently turned 180 degrees.
"I mean, borrow it."
Ma Xiaoyu wiped her hands on the other person's clothes and pushed the cold body aside.
The killing frenzy set off by Yin Xiu in the neighborhood had led away most of the soldiers, and those who were slow to react were easily killed by Ma Xiaoyu.
As a result, those people were finally able to escape.
Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, the roar of death suddenly sounded in the air!
I didn't know when a boarding dragon had floated over them, pouring firepower into the neighborhood.
At the same time, the red pod was also opened, and bombs fell from it.
Before Ma Xiaoyu could dodge, a figure rushed towards her, picked her up, jumped out, and ran far away in a few ups and downs.
Then, the place where she was standing was engulfed and swept away by the air wave generated by the explosion.
The flames lit up the entire neighborhood, which also caused it to disappear in the sea of flames.
Ma Xiaoyu stretched out her hand, and the hand that had been placed on Yin Xiu's shoulder was already covered in blood.
"You are seriously injured!"
She stared at Yin Xiu, who had just saved her.
Yin Xiu gasped and wiped his face, which was also covered in blood, nonchalantly.
"Not just my blood, but also the blood of those enemies."
"Yin Xiu, we have to leave here before the airship drops its bomb next time." She reminded softly.
Yin Xiu didn't seem to hear it, and just stared at the sea of fire in front of him in a daze.
"Yin Xiu..."
"Xiaoyu..."
Yin Xiu said: "These people are like lambs, but also like fish bellies. The officers and soldiers kill them, the foreigners kill them, and the White Lotus Sect also kills them. No matter what, they are dead. If they rebel, they will die. If they don't, they will die if the city falls." ”
His voice was low and his eyes were confused.
"Yin Xiu, whatever you want to do for them now, I will cooperate with you."
Ma Xiaoyu knew that she could only comfort him in this way at the moment.
In other words, this is not comfort, but her true thoughts.
"I don't want to do anything for them, and I can't do anything for them."
Yin Xiu glanced at the Moofeng Sword in his hand, "All I can do is kill for myself! Kill a way! Kill a justice! Kill a future!"
kill!
Yin Xiu raised his head and fixed his gaze on Denglong, who was spitting out tongues of fire.
The stars have changed!
The next moment, Yin Xiu's figure disappeared on the spot. Denlong's huge ship seemed to shake, and then a ball of fire rose into the sky. The huge ship turned into a meteor, fell from the sky, and fell to the ground.
Ma Xiaoyu stared at the sky. Except for a few scattered lanterns, there was only boundless darkness.
When she almost shed tears, Yin Xiu fell down again.
She immediately reached out her hand, put it on his hand, and after removing the impact, she finally put the exhausted man, who was extremely exhausted mentally and physically, into her arms and hugged him tightly.
……
Liu Banxian and Ren Qi, the sailors on the Black Widow, were still looking at the direction in which the huge fireball fell.
The other two Denlongs seemed to have begun to escape from the battlefield and quickly disappeared from sight.
The port and the Governor's Mansion are about to be captured by the White Lotus Sect.
At this moment, Ma Xiaoyu finally stepped onto the boat carrying Yin Xiu.
"Now, can we set sail?" (End of Chapter)
