Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens
Chapter 2223: Sighing at the Gate
The gate of Kuocheng was closed slowly, and Nitang and the other three rushed out before the gate closed. Although Xuanyi and the others were a little slower, they still rushed out immediately.
During the process of the gate closing, a large number of Kuocheng warriors were fleeing outside the city. However, most of the people who escaped were below the Sensing Qi stage. The people with higher cultivation had rushed to the front before, so those who were still alive when the gate opened had already fled to the outside of the city as soon as possible.
Those who fell behind were either blocked by the sixth-level Nether Beast or those warriors in the Body Refining stage who could only run on the ground with their feet.
These people rushed to the gate of the city, and seeing the two gates approaching, they became more terrified. Therefore, they chose to rush out frantically, but they were crowded at the gate of the city all of a sudden.
This is a perfect reflection of the phrase "haste makes waste", and dozens of warriors were crowded at the gate of the city that was about to close. If everyone leaves the city in an orderly manner, 70% to 80% of the people can still leave, but who is willing to be the remaining 10% to 20%.
Therefore, the more crowded everyone is, the harder it is to escape. The closing of the city gate has not been stopped by the crowd. The two city gates are like two huge pliers, finally clamping the crowded crowd.
The terrifying pressure makes the crowd squeeze each other, and soon the pressure makes the people with low cultivation unable to bear it. Accompanied by painful roars, some people spurt blood and make painful howls.
But the city gate is still closing, and some people in the crowd have already begun to retreat. But in the current situation, it is certainly difficult to escape, but it is even more difficult to retreat.
Because there are still people rushing in from behind and joining the crowded crowd. Some warriors don't care, stepping on others' shoulders, trying to jump over, but you are smart and others are not stupid. One person wants to jump over, and others also rush in.
In this way, the crowd is stacked up and down for several layers, all crowded at the city gate. The city gate was closing continuously, and blood was spurting out. There were shouts, roars, curses, pain, begging for mercy..., and all kinds of sounds were heard one after another.
At the gate of the city, only Huankong and the three guards around him could remain calm. The four of them looked at the scene in front of them coldly, but they couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of them.
At the critical moment of life and death, the ugliness and selfishness of human nature were exposed without omission. Some people even knew that they would die, but they wanted to drag the people around them to be buried with them. That kind of mentality seemed to say, even if I want to die here, you can't have an easy life.
At this time, two gray figures came quickly. They were two Nether Beasts with blood-red eyes, and their strength had reached the sixth level.
Their target was Mingyu, who had already rushed out of the city, but in front of them was a crowded crowd, completely blocking the gap of the city gate that was less than two feet wide.
In front of the two Nether Beasts, Hongwan swung the spear in his hand and kept killing the warriors who blocked the way in front of him. He was also anxious at this time, and hated Xuan Yi even more. At this time, he certainly understood that Xuan Yi had deliberately abandoned him.
In addition, there were more than a dozen strong men from Huanxi Hall, who also followed Hong Wan. They didn't know what happened at first, but just followed Hong Wan subconsciously.
But when they saw Xuan Yi leaving the city, no matter how stupid they were, they knew what happened, so they followed Hong Wan to the city gate without hesitation.
Feeling the strong breath behind him, Hong Wan's heart trembled, and when he turned his head, he found the two sixth-level nether beasts. There was an agreement between the two parties, and Hong Wan didn't need to worry that the other party would attack him. But when he saw the cold eyes of the two nether beasts, he knew that the other party would not care about any agreement at all.
How could he know that after smelling the breath of the emperor's bloodline on Minghai, the two sixth-level nether beasts no longer had much reason. So Hong Wan was extremely reluctant, but still rationally flashed to the side.
Other strong men from Huanxi Hall also avoided it. The two nether beasts did not attack because Hong Wan made way.
The city gate had closed again, and now there was only about half a meter of space left. Looking at the bottom of the city gate, it was already blood red. The bodies of countless human warriors were squeezed and twisted, and some of the bodies were even squeezed and kneaded together into meat paste.
There were still a few survivors among them. These people were all in the late stage of Qi Sensing and the early stage of Qi Na. They struggled hard in the sea of corpses and blood, trying to get the last chance to leave the city.
But at this time, a sharp wind came from behind, and most of them didn't even have time to turn their heads to take a closer look before their bodies exploded directly.
Before the two sixth-level nether beasts came to the city gate, they had already condensed the beast energy in front of the beast claws and chopped forward fiercely. The phantom of the beast claw rushed out quickly, and then there was less than half a meter left at the city gate. Countless flesh and blood flew across the gap between the two city gates, and the gap between the two city gates was completely exposed.
The faces of the two sixth-level nether beasts showed great joy at the same time, and they accelerated towards the gap in the city gate. They could even see that the Nether Jade outside the city gate was looking back at them in horror.
Thinking about the Emperor's blood they had smelled before, the two Level 6 Nether Beasts became even more crazy, and the greed in their eyes became even stronger. The city gate was in sight, but just as they reached the gate, one of the Nether Beasts suddenly crashed into its companion next to it.
At the same time, another Netherworld beast seemed to have been prepared for it. The beast energy in its body burst out, and it also hit its companions.
"Boom"
Along with a muffled sound, there was a huge collision sound where the bodies of the two Netherworld beasts came into contact. Immediately afterwards, they both squeezed towards each other at the same time, so that the two were directly stuck in the small gap in the city gate.
If they were separated one above the other, they could easily get through the gap in the city gate. However, the two of them fought so hard that they all got stuck together.
When Huan Kong, who was standing by the city gate, saw this scene, he couldn't help but reveal a complicated look in his eyes. At this moment, he unconsciously recalled the previous scene of human beings arguing in front of the gate.
Although he didn't know that these two Netherworld beasts behaved like this in order to monopolize the emperor's bloodline. But the reason is not important, their behavior is exactly the same as the previous human warriors.
The dispute between the two Nether Beasts in front of the city gate directly affected Benimaru who followed. Originally, if there were no obstacles from the Netherworld beasts, he would have hoped to leave Kuocheng, but now two Netherworld beasts were blocking the front, and his past would be affected instead.
Under this situation, the city gate is still closing, and the originally small gap is still shrinking. The two Nether Beasts found that they couldn't do anything to each other, and they refused to let each other pass alone. If they stayed, they would be pinched by the city gate, so they had no choice but to retreat.
The city gate finally closed slowly at this time, and the three Nitang people who had escaped from the city left without stopping. But when the city gate closed, the three of them couldn't help but look back. Although they were in danger, they still escaped in the end.
Behind them, Xuan Yi and his men did not continue to chase Nitang, but looked back at the closed city gate with complicated eyes. Benimaru did not escape after all, and his plan could be declared a failure at this point.
The Kuocheng warriors who "luckily" escaped around them all did not dare to stay, and did not even have the courage to look behind them. They fled in panic like a bereaved dog.
Ignoring the warriors around him, Xuan Yi recalled all the encounters in the city and couldn't help but sigh. He turned around and glared at the three people in Nitang hatefully. Although she hated the other party very much, judging from the current situation, the hope of successfully killing the other party was too slim, so in the end she had no choice but to endure it.
Turning back and staring at the city gate for a while, Xuan Yi said coldly, "Let's go."
Next to Xuan Yi, a woman in the middle stage of receiving Qi hesitated and asked: "Elder Xuan Yi, Hong, Hong..."
She didn't finish her words, because Xuan Yi turned back and looked at her coldly at this moment. Her eyes were as cold as a knife, which made it impossible for her to say anything else, and she lowered her head in fear.
The city gate was completely closed, and the two sixth-order Nether Beasts were blocked inside, along with Hong Wan and a group of people from Huanxi Hall.
Whether it was the Nether Beast or Benimaru and other warriors, they were all stunned at this moment. Facing the closed city gate, their minds felt completely blank.
The sound of breaking wind sounded at the city gate. The sharp sound was the sound of strong men tearing the air when they moved quickly. The two sixth-level Netherworld beasts, as well as Benimaru and others, subconsciously turned their heads to look, and the eyes of both the man and the beast shrank.
The first ones to arrive were Tang Bin, Ikari and Wang Xiao, three powerful warriors in the cultivation stage. The moment Tang Bin and Ikari arrived, they already saw Huan Kong in the corner of the city gate.
In their haste, they didn't forget to nod and say hello to Huan Kong, and then Tang Bin and Ikari started to kill the two sixth-order netherworld beasts. The two of them are now in good condition, with almost no losses from the previous battles.
The two sixth-level Nether Beasts in front of them were severely damaged due to the continuous battle at the city gate. Although the injuries on their bodies were not serious, they had multiple wounds.
Therefore, Tang Bin and Ikari immediately gained the upper hand as soon as they fought. The two Nether Beasts were blocked at the city gate and only had defense power left.
Seeing this scene, Benimaru didn't dare to stay any longer. He called out a "whistle" and immediately led his men to rush into the city. Wang Xiao, who had just arrived, was originally going to help Tang Bin and Ikari, but he heard Huan Kong suddenly say: "Cut them down."
Wang Xiao looked towards the corner of the city gate in confusion, and was surprised to see that the person who spoke turned out to be a middle-aged man with no cultivation. However, Tang Bin then said in a deep voice: "Listen to senior's instructions and go quickly."
With Tang Bin's instructions, although Wang Xiao was full of doubts, he rushed out without hesitation and ran directly towards Hong Wan.
