The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

The two sides were deadlocked at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion for a long time and no one took action. Originally, the Liang soldiers wanted to threaten the City Lord's Mansion by slaughtering the people in the city, but unfortunately Zeng Wenyu's arrival made their plan fail completely, and those useless soldiers were also killed because of the failure of the plan.

The soldiers of Liang State were in an awkward position. If they retreated, they would be punished by military law if they failed to complete the mission. If they attacked, they would not be able to break into the City Lord's Mansion because of the butler Wang. Butler Wang alone could cause them to lose a lot of combat power, not to mention the guards stationed in the City Lord's Mansion. As for reinforcements? If the front battlefield did not gain an advantage because of their sneak attack in the rear, it would be difficult for Liang State to send high-end combat forces to help. Now they were in a dilemma.

Butler Wang was not in a hurry to take action. For him, the first thing to protect was the City Lord's Mansion. All those who had committed murder and arson in the city were now dead, which solved his worries. Looking at Zeng Wenyu, who was covered in blood, Butler Wang's face showed appreciation. He did not even consider why Zeng Wenyu did not follow the army before.

He picked up the tea bowl from the small table next to the stool, opened the lid, skimmed the tea leaves in the bowl, and took a few sips: "Why? How long do you want to stay in Shubian City? Do you really want to wait for me to kill you all personally before you come back?"

“Oh! Old man, I admit that you are stronger than us now that you have cultivated spiritual energy, but there are so many of us and monsters here. Even if you try your best to kill us, you won’t be able to defend the City Lord’s Mansion by yourself!”

"Whether or not we can defend the City Lord's Mansion is not just my business. Do you really think the guards of the City Lord's Mansion are just for show?"

When Butler Wang said this, the two soldiers standing guard next to the City Lord's Mansion shouted loudly, and huge murderous intent and blood energy gushed out of their bodies, and at the same time, their Qi Refining skills were also displayed.

It was obvious that if the leader of Liang State had not concealed his incompetence, the momentum unleashed by these two guards alone would have been much greater than his.

But if it was only the soldiers of Liang State, it would be fine. At the same time that the momentum of the leading Liang soldier was suppressed, the momentum of the monster he was riding also unfolded. The leading soldier who had just been suppressed suddenly gained momentum, and there was a tendency to suppress the momentum of the two guards.

“Hahahahahaha… Old man, it seems that the soldiers guarding your City Lord’s Mansion are no match for me and my comrades?”

"So what?" Steward Wang waved his hand and two guards pushed a crossbow cart out of the city lord's mansion. A thick crossbow arrow was already loaded in the arrow slot of the crossbow cart, and a fiery red light flashed on the arrow head.

“Fire crossbow!” Seeing the crossbow being pushed out, the leading soldier exclaimed, “You, I don’t believe you dare to use such a large-scale killing weapon in the Border City. Aren’t you afraid that the people in the city will rebel against your City Lord’s Mansion?!”

“Haha, since I, your old servant, dare to push out the Fire Crossbow, do you think I am not mentally prepared? At the very least, I will die after the war to apologize, but the City Lord’s Mansion must not be lost!”

The situation became deadlocked again, but it did not last long. As Butler Wang waved behind him again, two more fire crossbow chariots were pushed out from the City Lord's Mansion. Just one fire crossbow chariot was enough to make them fearful, and with three fire crossbow chariots, they had already considered retreating.

Originally, their intention to retreat was not firm enough, but then a large number of civilians with weapons began to appear in the city. Led by those retired veterans, they came to the city lord's mansion in a mighty manner. Looking at the large number of civilians, the Liang soldiers regretted their strategy of going deep behind enemy lines for the first time. However, in this regret, the leading soldier looked at Zeng Wenyu with an even more unfriendly look.

If Zeng Wenyu hadn't intervened and killed the soldiers he had sent out to slaughter people in the city, how could the border city dare to stand up and resist the slaughter of those soldiers and monsters? Not to mention being able to organize such a large ragtag army.

Seeing the people from the city rushing over, Steward Wang smiled for the first time, but he still said nothing. He just sat on the stool and continued to drink the tea in his hand. This made the Liang soldiers surrounding the City Lord's Mansion even more embarrassed. Only the monsters they were riding were still looking at the people who had just arrived with greedy eyes.

"Since you didn't want to leave just now, you don't have to leave now." After placing the tea bowl on the seat, Steward Wang stood up from the chair and stretched his body. "It just so happens that all the people guarding the border city have arrived. Now it's time for revenge. Blood feud must be avenged with blood!"

Under the uneasy gazes of the Liang soldiers, Steward Wang waved his hands and vines grew out from the cracks in the bluestone brick roads in the city. The vines grew and thickened madly, and in a few seconds they had tied up the Liang soldiers and the monsters. Among them, only the leading soldier and the fourth-level monster he was riding escaped.

"Kill!"

Seeing the Liang soldiers and monsters that had been tied up, the people picked up kitchen knives and other things in their hands and rushed forward, while the guards of the City Lord's Mansion ran up to the leading soldier who had dodged and fought with him.

Ignoring the leading soldier, Zeng Wenyu's target was always the people who had set fire to the woods before. Under the control of Butler Wang's magic, it was difficult for them to escape from the thick vines. The first-level, second-level and a few third-level monsters kept tearing the vines with their sharp teeth and claws, but the vines were very tough. When the people rushed to them, they could only tear the vines in half with all their strength.

Of course, some of the monsters quickly broke free from the vines. They didn't care about the lives of the Liang soldiers on their backs. They were on fire all over their bodies and used the high temperature flames to quickly burn the vines. They just gently swayed their bodies, and the vines around them turned into ashes. Of course, the Liang soldiers riding on them also fell off them and were also burnt.

These escaped third and fourth level monsters all belong to the flame lion branch. They are third level monsters since birth, and have a natural flame that allows them to ignite flames on their bodies for defense or spray flames from their mouths for attack. However, the guards in the City Lord's Mansion had already been prepared against them. A large amount of water sprayed from the palms of the guards' hands onto them. The water quickly wet their bodies and the flames on their bodies were extinguished.

In addition to using its fangs and claws, the Fire Lion's greatest reliance is the flames on its body. Anyone who can extinguish the flames on their bodies either has a treasure that targets them, or has a higher level of cultivation than them. So when the flames on their bodies were extinguished, a dozen Fire Lions made a decision, turned their heads and immediately began to flee out of the city. As an alien species among the monsters, they would not die here in vain.
