C39

When Long Yu saw the western gate of the city entering from the west, he subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky. Without a doubt, it was in the middle of the moon!

How could it be exactly the same as what Shi Gao said, exactly the same, as if the army in front of him was under the command of the City Lord's Mansion!

At this moment, the distance between the west gate and the west gate was only one hundred zhang. One hundred zhang was the distance between life and death. The more he crossed, the more open the sky and sea became. He had prepared all the medicinal herbs needed to save his grandfather ?

However, when groups of people entered through the city gate and reached the size of a thousand in less than a dozen breaths, running out of the west gate was tantamount to seeking death!

Tightly holding the Four Symbols Grass in his chest, Long Yu turned around and ran in the next moment. This was because the instant he turned around, there was the sound of a door being smashed, and a mournful scream resounded throughout the entire Yongan city ?

Flames, blood, and wails.

Night, helplessness, fear...

When these few words swarmed into Long Yu's eyes, disappointing tears gushed out from his eyes. He had never seen the cruelty of war before, but when he heard the mournful cries chasing him from behind, Long Yu's face had already become pale. His stomach kept on churning as he ran while retching.

The sound of horse hooves galloping could be heard. How could his feet run past four legs like ants on a hot pan? Long Yu turned around and ran towards a remote alley.

"Run! The army of the Mu Estate is coming!" After wiping away his tears, Long Yu desperately shouted at the top of his lungs, hoping to wake up more people so that they could escape death ?

However, his voice was too soft and was quickly drowned out by the clamor!

Fortunately, many people woke up from their sleep and grabbed their luggage. They didn't even have time to put on their clothes. They converged on the street and ran towards the east gate.

When death was approaching, no one seemed to realize where the guards on top of the city gate had gone to. Why did a team of a thousand people swagger into the city without warning?

The originally wide street was soon filled with people. They were crying, cursing, wailing, begging for mercy; pushing, chasing, seizing, trampling ? When Long Yu was about to run out of the alley and see the scene on the street, he retreated. The chaotic scene in front of him caused him to shrink back!

He did not understand why his grandfather kept insisting that the demon beasts were the ugliest existences in the world and that they must be eliminated. How could the Wind Spirit Fox in the Mayor's mansion be ugly? How was it bad? Grandfather has seen this scene before his eyes. The army obviously still has some time before they attack here, but what are we panicking for? He did not hesitate to make a move just to snatch that pitiful minute away?

Long Yu could only watch helplessly as a young child was crushed to a pulp on the ground ? Perhaps this was reality!

The figures that hurriedly ran past them were everywhere. No one would stop to pay attention to the youth standing at the entrance of the alleyway. Borrowing the light of the fire, a flag with the word 'Mu Manor' written on it was deeply branded in Long Yu's eyes.

In less than half an incense's time, on the east side of the city, when the crowd rushed to the east gate and saw the rows of armored soldiers waiting there quietly with swords in their hands, dark clouds of despair enveloped Yongan in an instant ?

The people running in front turned around to leave, but the entire street had been blocked. The people running in front wanted to retreat, but there was a dense mass of darkness behind them. More and more people were rushing forward with their lives on the line.

It was a stalemate. Under the threat of death, no one made a sound. They reacted out of instinct. In the next moment, they waved their weapons one by one. Whether it was swords or daggers, they were all crazily trying to open a way out of the crowd.

Only a few people raised their long swords high and charged towards the army that everyone feared ? Unfortunately, there were too few people who dared to charge up.

When Long Yu saw a thousand man army silently enter the city, he already knew that Yongan City would turn into a sea of fire tonight. His strategy, his level of martial arts that was not worth mentioning, and his bellyful of enthusiasm were not even worth a fart in front of reality!

There were sounds of fighting coming from all directions, and there was nowhere to run. The most dangerous place was also the safest place. Long Yu suddenly thought of the City Lord's Mansion in the nick of time? Since Shi Gao could obtain accurate information in the morning, perhaps he could avoid it there?

Thinking of this, Long Yu didn't care about anything else and hastily ran towards the City Lord's Mansion. However, after passing through a pond, Long Yu stopped! Because there were a lot of people who had the same idea as him, and countless of people were rushing towards the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion was a symbol of the city. In times of crisis, there would definitely be a place to protect them.

But was it really as everyone thought? Right now, the City Lord's Mansion was completely empty. Without the trouble of the Rock Butterfly, the several hundred people inside the mansion would quickly leave Yongan City, and even Long Yu would have left the city before them.

Standing at the edge of the pond and hearing the sounds of fighting getting closer and closer, Long Yu couldn't help but take out that stalk of Four Directions Grass that he'd only just obtained and couldn't help but laugh.

Sometimes, Long Yu had no choice but to believe that this was fate playing a joke on him. First it was to give him hope, then it was to make him despair!

The most painful thing in this world was not life or death, but the reality heartlessly tearing apart the hope that had just emerged in his heart. The [Whirlpool Dead Marks] was the first time, and now, he had obtained the Four Symbols Grass once more! How many more times had it been since then? Would it really have to wait until he died before it actually stopped?

Thinking of this, Long Yu unconsciously clenched his fists again! If you want me to die, I won't!

Pulling a stalk of bamboo grass from the side of the pond, he picked it up and held it in his mouth. He didn't hesitate before dipping Long Yu into the pond.

And the moment Long Yu dove into the water, a burst of horse hooves galloped past, splashing blood all over the ground.

The spring water was very cold, but compared to the chaos outside and the chill in his heart, this narrow pool was like a peaceful world to him.

Noiselessly, only the rhythmic heartbeat and breathing allowed Long Yu to know that he was still alive.

After an unknown period of time, his legs and feet had become so cold that they were completely unconscious. Beneath the surface of the water, a faint glow could be seen. With great difficulty, he stretched his legs and slowly stood up!

It was an extremely quiet morning. There was no noise, as if there was nothing. The rising sun shone down as usual.

Everywhere he looked, there were ruins and corpses littered the ground. The shops and houses they once lived in had long since been reduced to ashes. The stubborn embers were still burning, and a suffocating aura was drifting in the air.

On the surface of the pool, there were bubbling white corpses moving up and down with the waves, and the pool water was already as red as blood ?

Long Yu mechanically walked towards the shore. When he staggered a little, grabbed onto a vine and climbed up, only to see that while he was holding onto it, it wasn't rattan at all, but scattered intestines. His stomach once again spasmed, and he knelt on the shore to wash the blood off his hands, only to find that the more he washed them, the stronger the smell of blood became ?

With his head empty, Long Yu carried the blood-soaked Four Symbols Grass as he walked along the path in his memory, unconscious.

He walked slowly, so that it was clear to him how everyone on the street had died, including their dying expressions.

No one could see that the ice mirror within Long Yu's dantian that was previously bright like the moon was now half dyed black, as if it had been dyed black.

Just when the black and white were about to fight each other, the clear sky was separated by the center. Night once again shrouded the western sky, and suddenly the sky was filled with stars and the moon was round like a wheel.

Although it only lasted for a short ten breaths, the sun and the moon had a symbiotic relationship. It was something that hadn't happened in a thousand years.

Both of Long Yu's legs were numb. He had already forgotten how he'd even started walking. He only knew that the sun was pale and that there wasn't the slightest bit of warmth when it shone on his body.

With every step he took, he could see the city gate right in front of him. However, there was a row of soldiers standing guard below the gate!

"Look, there's still someone over there!" The young man in the lead held his long sword as he walked towards Long Yu while laughing. The people behind him also acted as if they were just watching a good show and started coaxing him.

However, after the youth had only taken ten steps, behind Long Yu, a burst of sounds of horse hooves, which were like the rain, could be heard, "Bastards of the Mu Manor, Yongan City's Shi Family Stone is here, surrender quickly!"

"Bastard of the Mu Manor! The young vanguard is here, yet you still aren't going to die!" The one who spoke was Cheng Qing, who was also known as the genius of Yongan city. At this moment, he was leading a group of one hundred youths, wielding a snow-white sword and a green maned horse as they galloped over.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides clashed. The Mu Estate's army didn't even have the strength to fight back. After a short exchange, they immediately fled. They didn't even try to resist as they fled towards the east side of the city.

The war had started quickly, and ended even faster! Long Yu just stood there quietly, watching Shi Yan lead the group to chase after them ? However, just as Shi Jun and the others were about to pass through, Jia Youcai, who was in the middle of the group, inadvertently saw Long Yu, who was standing on the side of the street!

An unexpected scene appeared. After being chased by Shi Jian and the others, Long Yu left Yongan City in a hurry and walked on the road towards the Little West Village. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any more dangers in the direction that the Mu Clan's army was heading in, but after walking for an hour, a troop of about fifty people came out from an unknown place. It was the Mu Estate's disguise, and they weren't running for their lives, but were running towards Long Yu ?

Long Yu didn't have time to think and didn't say anything else. He turned around and headed towards the cove, the forest, and those remote paths. However, that team didn't hesitate at all, as if they were chasing after Long Yu alone!

No matter how fast Long Yu was, how could he outrun a green maned horse? After passing through the forest in front of him, he would only need to climb up the hill to see the Little Western Village. However, he hadn't slept for the entire night, and his mind was in a trance as he expended his strength and willpower to the maximum.

Clear sounds of horse hooves nearing their ears could be heard, and the sound of flesh being sucked into flesh could be heard. Long Yu felt his entire back lose its feeling, and in the next moment, he was like a rock as he tumbled down the hill ?

Before his death, he had only instinctively hugged the Four Symbols Grass tightly in his embrace, crawling up the hill. He wanted to see if the Little Western Village was also burned down by the war, he wanted to give the Four Symbols Grass in his bosom to his grandfather so that Long Taichuan's illness could be cured, and he wanted to ?

"Die!" A declaration of fate sounded out, and before Long Yu could finish speaking, a snow-white longsword tore through the air and flew over.

Was it finally going to end?

However, before he fainted, Long Yu seemed to hear a heaven-shaking beast roar that caused the entire earth to shake. Afterwards, his vision went black, and he didn't know anything.
