Chapter 20
Chapter 20
Sang Yuanyuan knew that the ending of the book was about to happen.
She wondered how many people around her would survive after this battle.
You Wuming was already severely injured in the book. If he still had to protect her, she was afraid that …
She felt a chill in her heart.
Was this short trip to another time and space going to end just like that?
If You Wuming died, she would have saved this world from many disasters. At least this trip was not in vain.
She thought self-mockingly.
Vaguely, the low sound of wind and thunder could be heard.
The thunder crushed the black iron, and the rumbling sound gradually approached.
"This is …"
Above the Inner Great Wall, a fire dragon snaked over at an extremely fast speed. The Sang Flag fluttered in the wind.
Sang Prefecture's King had arrived!
It turned out that Sang Prefecture's King had led his troops directly from the Inner Great Wall. He had saved a lot of detours and shortened the journey by half a day!
The bell-like lion roar passed through the wide buffer zone and echoed between the Inner and Outer Great Walls.
"Sang Chengming has already betrayed us. Are you going to help the evildoer or surrender quickly?!
"Why aren't you surrendering?!
"Surrender quickly!"
The city gate opened, and the vigorous army surged out of the city gate. Their iron hooves trampled on the returning nether demons and mercilessly tore them into thousands of pieces!
At this moment, the nether demons were retreating as if they were chasing after a stray dog.
The Sang Prefecture's Army quickly passed through the buffer zone. Barrels of kerosene were transported over and poured on the nether demons that had gathered under the Outer Great Wall and were crazily pouncing on the city wall. They were burned until they screamed and rolled into a ball.
Tens of thousands of crossbows were fired at the same time. The nether demons that were pouncing in midair were shot and fell to the ground.
The pressure on the city wall decreased drastically!
However, everyone's expressions did not become better.
No one knew if the Sang Prefecture's Army was here to kill them.
The other party had plenty of ammunition and strong soldiers. On the other hand, everyone on their side was exhausted and had reached their limits …
The one with the worst expression was Han Shaoling.
Since the assassination attempt had been exposed, it could be said that he and Sang Zhou had shed most of their face.
He could not imagine what Sang Prefecture's King, who had the absolute advantage, would do to him.
You Wuming was like a ghost, sticking close to Sang Yuanyuan, breathing softly in her ear.
"Little Sang Guo, are you leaving me?"
Sang Yuanyuan looked back at him.
That pair of black eyes overflowed with undisguised killing intent.
"It's impossible for me to let you leave alive." He smiled. His face seemed abnormally pale amidst the bloodstains.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but Sang Yuanyuan actually felt that his smile was somewhat fragile, like a small flower bud that would break at the slightest touch in the rain of blood.
"How could I leave you?"
Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. "We agreed that after you won the war, I would take you back to Sang Zhou to see my parents."
"Really?
I don't believe you. "His cold hand slowly moved to the back of her neck.
"I'm injured," he said. "If Sang Chengyin wants to rob me, I can't take you away alive."
His black eyes became very hollow, and his hand gradually tightened.
Sang Yuanyuan suddenly grabbed his clothes and looked him up and down. "Why are you leaving? I'm not going anywhere!
Where are you injured? Let me see if it's serious! "
His body stiffened. After a while, he let go of his hand and stared at her strangely.
After a while, he smiled.
"A grown girl can't be kept at home!
Little Sang Guo, if your father knew that you were clinging to me like this, he would probably vomit three liters of blood in anger! "
Sang Yuanyuan: "… …" Wasn't it to save my life from the evil clutches of a lunatic like you?
"Forget it." He grabbed her shoulder. "I believe you."
He stared into her eyes. "Don't let me down. Otherwise, you will regret being born into this world."
Sang Yuanyuan smiled shyly.
You Wuming was stunned by her smile. His pair of black eyes slowly moved, as if he was trying to remember if he had said something wrong.
After a while, he coughed awkwardly, grabbed her, and prepared to walk down the city wall.
At this moment, Sang Jun was placing barrels of ignited kerosene on a heavy black iron cart and pushing it to the left and right.
The huge fire dragon rumbled as it rolled over, opening up a wide path that was almost a hundred feet wide. The Ming Mo couldn't cross it for a while.
A muscular man with a big beard was riding a crimson Cloud Beast and standing under the city gate.
Sang Yuanyuan: "… …" Was this person Sang Zhou's King?
Actually, she was a little hesitant to interact with Sang Zhou's' family '.
Facing Ling Gu and the others, she could use amnesia as an excuse. But if she had to replace the original body to interact with her family … Sang Yuanyuan didn't know what to do.
"Han Shaoling!"
The bearded man opened his mouth and roared like a lion. "Hand over my daughter!
Otherwise, there's no need for you to come down! "
Han Shaoling stood by the wall and replied loudly, "Sang Zhou's King, my wife and I only had a small misunderstanding. She left without saying goodbye. Not only did you not persuade her, you even attacked my residence!
I haven't even argued with you about this matter, but you're asking me for her today?
Sang Zhou's King, it's ungentlemanly to accuse the victim first! "
"Hahahaha … …" Sang Chengyin laughed. "I just contacted my daughter yesterday. She's right here!
If I don't ask you for her, who else would I ask for her?
Don't tell me I'm asking You Wuming for her! "
You Wuming suddenly stopped walking down the wall. A guilty expression appeared on his face as he muttered, "Please don't ask me for help."
Han Shaoling heard Sang Chengyin's confident tone and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Could it be that Han Shiwu, who they lost contact with, didn't actually have an accident and brought Sang Yuanyuan here?
Looking around, his heart sank heavily.
Han Shiwu didn't return to the team. In such a battlefield, even he couldn't protect a woman single-handedly, let alone Han Shiwu.
So, Sang Yuanyuan was already in trouble?!
If something happened to her, how could he deal with Sang Chengyin?!
Just as he was feeling worried, his armor was suddenly gently pulled off by someone.
He tilted his head and saw Meng Wuyou with a pair of big doe-like eyes. She whispered to him, "I can pretend to be Princess Sang and help everyone escape first."
Her eyes were full of pleading.
She wanted to be as useful as possible.
Han Shaoling's eyes flashed a few times.
Finally, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. "Okay."
He took off the disguise on Meng Wuyou's face and pulled her to the edge of the city wall.
The moonlight was as red as blood. The cold fire lanterns on the city wall barely illuminated the place.
In such an environment, Meng Wuyou's face was enough to pass for the real one.
Han Shaoling said loudly, "King Sang, I know that today's matter has nothing to do with you.
To avoid any more misunderstandings, let's talk about this after the demonic invasion is over. What do you think? "
"Okay!" King Sang's voice was as loud as a bell. "Clear the path and escort our allies back to the city!"
"Yes!"
Everyone knew that King Sang wasn't a treacherous person who went back on his word.
Han Shaoling waved his hand, and the trapped soldiers retreated from the city wall. They followed the path opened by Sang's army and returned to the Inner Great Wall.
The path of fire created by Sang's army was like a bridge of escape in the middle of a tsunami.
Amidst the raging waves, the Han and Nether armies snaked their way back to the Inner Great Wall.
They had lost their Cloud Beasts and were exhausted.
The valiant Sang's army cleared the path for them. They were all in high spirits, as if they were escorting prisoners.
Han Shaoling stood on the city wall. He couldn't help but feel humiliated.
You Wuming had happily led Sang Yuanyuan down the wall. He was about to walk out when Sang Yuanyuan grabbed his sleeve.
"Listen. What's that sound?" she asked nervously.
You Wuming listened carefully for a moment, then shook his head. "There's no sound."
"Why do I feel like something is scratching the door outside?
Could it be short-lived? "She blinked, her face full of anticipation.
You Wuming lowered his head and looked at her.
There wasn't much light under the city gate. In the darkness, there seemed to be two pools of clear spring water swaying in front of him.
"No." His voice was a little hoarse. "They all went down."
Of course, he wasn't referring to the city wall, but the abyss.
Tens of thousands of Cloud Beasts had fallen straight into the abyss with the Nether Demons. There was no way they would survive.
You Wuming saw the spring water in front of him sway, and the woman let out a suppressed sob.
"Are you so easily moved?" He gently pinched her chin. "Is it so easy to like me?"
His tone was as calm as a pool of stagnant water. "Easy to like, easy to dislike."
Sang Yuanyuan was about to speak when she suddenly felt something in her heart. She hurriedly shook her head. "No, I really feel it."
She grabbed his hand, her eyes shining. "I feel like it's right there. Can you take a look?"
You Wuming gently broke free and put his hands behind his back. He laughed coldly. "Even if it is, I can't open the door.
It's too dangerous. "
"Just open the small door, just a little!"
He laughed until his chest shook. "Little Sang Guo, you're really crazy.
Alright, if it's not outside, I'll throw you out! "
He threw her down and strode to the nearest metal door. "Open the door!"
No one dared to object.
The small black metal doors opened one by one.
You Wuming walked out with his hands behind his back.
Sang Yuanyuan trotted after him.
The thought in her mind was like a gourd in a water jar. She couldn't push it down no matter how hard she tried.
What if, what if?
He had survived so many hardships, and he ran faster than any of the Cloud Beasts.
He was very similar to her. No matter what the situation was, he had to try his best to survive and do his best.
The last small metal door was pulled inwards.
Although the Nether Demons were rushing back, there were too many of them. When they saw that there was a gap here and smelled the blood of living people, they immediately turned around and attacked.
You Wuming pressed Sang Yuanyuan's shoulder and leaned over to her ear. He asked kindly, "Did you see it clearly?"
There was nothing but the Nether Demons.
The ground was piled up with a thick pile of Nether Demon corpses. They were half the height of a person. When she looked up, there was nothing but the surging red tide.
There were no Cloud Beasts.
Any living creature would be torn to pieces here.
Sang Yuanyuan couldn't hide her disappointment.
Just as she was about to retreat, she suddenly heard a whooshing sound.
It sounded like a claw scratching the door.
This time, You Wuming heard it clearly.
He widened his eyes and looked down.
He saw a furry claw reaching out from the pile of Nether Demon corpses not far away. It was dyed red and was pulling at the black metal door.
You Wuming: "…"
"Shang Yuanyuan?" Sang Yuanyuan called out carefully.
A head popped out.
Another head popped out.
Yet another head popped out.
One by one, the Cloud Beasts crawled out from under the mountain of corpses and jumped into the small door while snorting.
The leading one was especially proud. It let out a long series of farts at You Wuming.
