C279 Going to the Three Gorges Pass
Yun Fei decided to rush to the front line. He had to do his best in this thousand-year catastrophe that had erupted ahead of time because of him.
The next day, in Zhong Prefecture.
Yun Fei, Shui Hong, Shui Qingyan, Jin Ao and Niu Ben were bidding farewell to Luo Yanran, Old Lady Zhong, and Zhong Xiu. A bad news suddenly came from the palace: the border of Tiger Pavilion Pass was suddenly attacked by Demon Beast groups, and almost all of the troops were killed. The legendary old marshal, Zhong Weifeng, died heroically! A large group of Demon Beast groups rushed towards Three Gorges Pass.
Liang Country was in danger!
Yun Fei, who understood the terror of the beast tide, knew that this was not the time to be sad. The natural danger of the Three Gorges Pass was because the defending troops of the Liang Country were relatively "weak," and there were many Flying Demon Beast mixed in with the beast tide this time. It became almost "defenceless." Once the Three Gorges Pass was breached, the ten thousand miles of Liang Country would become a hunting ground for the Demon Beast to devour and slaughter humans.
In just three short years, Old Lady Zhong, who had lost her only son and her husband, could no longer hold on and fainted. Her body, which had been slowly recovering with the help of the Revival Pill, collapsed once again.
"Aunt Luo, I need to rush to the Three Gorges Pass to stop the beast tide and buy more time." Yun Fei suppressed his grief and his eyes turned red as he said to Luo Yanran, who was still sobbing while being supported by Shui Qingyan and Liang Xinyue.
"Fei, that is too dangerous. You are alone and will not be able to do anything. You will just die for nothing. You should run away quickly. Take Xiu-Er and return to the Profound Heaven Sect. " Luo Yanran wiped away the tears on her cheeks.
"Aunt Luo, don't worry. I have a way to protect myself. It will be fine. Gather your family now. Pack your things and our Tiger Mountain Base. It is no longer safe there. Summon all of them back. Wait for me to return from Three Gorges Pass. I'll bring everyone to an absolutely safe place. " Yun Fei said.
"An absolutely safe place?" Luo Yanran asked doubtfully. Now that the beast tide was wreaking havoc, there was no place that was absolutely safe.
"Aunt Luo, don't worry. I will take care of everything." Yun Fei turned around and said to Zhong Xiu, "Zhong Xiu, go to the palace now. Ask Little King Liang to issue an Imperial Decree. Gather the people of our country, pack up, and gather in Tiger Hill City."
"Boss, what are you doing? It is useless for ordinary people to gather here. They can't resist the Demon Beast." Zhong Xiu asked.
"How many can you save? Quickly go to the palace hall." Yun Fei did not have time to explain.
"Let's go, boss has a way." Having witnessed the magic of the nine-story pagoda, Liang Xinyue pulled Zhong Xiu, bid goodbye to Luo Yanran, and rushed out of the Zhong Manor.
"Niu Ben, Hu Lang, Senior Sister Ni, use that personal flying device. Make the best use of your time to fly back to your families or sects, and also bring your family and fellow disciples to Tiger Hill City. Currently, there is no safe place in Liang Country. " Yun Fei said to the three of them.
"Boss, I'm going to pick up my parents first. It's just that I can't go with you to have fun." Niu Ben shook his head regretfully.
"Currently, the Net Heaven Continent is filled with Demon Beast. There's a time for you to have fun." Yun Fei went forward and gave Niu Ben a kick.
The three of them also bid their farewells and flew away.
"Yuhao, you stay here. I'll leave this courtyard to you to protect." Yun Fei patted Yuhao's shoulder and said. Currently, Yuhao's height had already surpassed Yun Fei's shoulder, and his physique had also become much stronger.
"Alright, Master. I'm here. Zhong Family is here!" Yuhao nodded his head and spoke with an unusually firm tone.
"Yaner, help me take care of Aunt Luo and Grandma Zhong. Wait for me to come back." Yun Fei said to Shui Qingyan.
"Yes, yes. I am at home. Don't worry. Ah Fei, you have to be careful." Shui Qingyan was a little reluctant, like a wife who sent her husband away on a long journey.
"Grandpa Shui, Lao Tieh, let's go to Three Gorges Pass. Try to stop us for a while." Yun Fei said. In fact, Yun Fei was still thinking about the Soul Searching Flag in the Demon Beast leader's hand. If that leader was killed... The Demon Beast group did not gather together to give orders, but scattered like sand. At that time, some of the sturdy cities might be able to resist the attacks of the Demon Beast.
Under Luo Yanran and Shui Qingyan's repeated warnings and tearful eyes, Shui Hong, Jin Ao, and the Little Bifang carried Yun Fei and flew towards Three Gorges Pass.
The Three Gorges Pass was in a fierce battle. Under the city wall and on the mountain ridge, blood flowed like rivers and corpses were scattered all over the place.
There were also a large number of Demon Beast corpses piled up in the three canyons. Many places were filled with raging flames. The oil was burning, and the thick smoke from the barbecued flesh was soaring into the sky. The unpleasant smell of burnt flesh filled the entire canyon.
Above the valley and on the mountain ridges, many flying Demon Beast cawed from time to time, diving down. Giant claws that were like iron hooks grabbed the soldiers of the Liang Country on the mountain ridges, threw them into the hellish valley, or bit them into their mouths.
Outside the Three Gorges Pass, the thousands of miles of hilly area was filled with numerous Demon Beast. They were all neatly and orderly standing in front of the pass, waiting for the flames in the canyons to extinguish.
On the west gate tower of the Three Gorges Pass, a general raised his arm and shouted, "Old Marshal Zhong's heroic soul is still there! General Zhong's military soul is eternal! Behind us, there are mountains and rivers that are ten thousand miles wide. With our parents and fellow villagers, we, the soldiers of the Great Liang, will defend it with our lives on the line. The Iron Blood Great Liang! Blood will not stop, and the war will not stop! Kill all the Demon Beast! Protect the country! Kill! Kill, kill, kill! Kill, kill! Kill! "
"Kill! Kill, kill, kill! Kill!" Hundreds of thousands of soldiers raised their sabers and roared towards the sky, their voices shaking the heavens. Kill! Kill! Kill!
The number of soldiers on both sides of the mountain ridge carrying oil jars decreased, and the flames in the valley gradually extinguished. A clear whistle sounded out from outside the gorge, and the Demon Beast in front of them suddenly rose up. It let out a heaven-shaking roar and rushed towards the "narrow" mouth of the canyon. Instantly, dust rose up and the ground trembled.
The general on the west gate tower of Three Gorges Pass waved his flag and a roar filled with true essence sounded out. "Ardent Fire Army, listen up! Charge!" The flag that was as bright as a dancing flame hacked down.
"Charge!" Tens of thousands of soldiers lined up on both sides of the road and rushed towards the mountains on both sides with angry roars. The Flying Demon Beast hovering above the mountain ridge rushed down one after another. Hundreds of soldiers did not manage to reach the mountain ridge in time. They died under the iron claws of the Demon Beast.
However, even more soldiers rushed up from behind. The flying Demon Beast did not have time to kill them one by one. The soldiers who managed to escape the iron claw quickly ran forward. Some of them saw that they did not have time to dodge the attack of the Demon Beast and ignited the fire oil jars on their bodies. They turned into a ball of fire and flew into the valley, creating a ball of fire. Some of them were grabbed by the Demon Beast. They ignited the fire oil and desperately hugged the Demon Beast's giant claw, igniting the Demon Beast. They died together.
The only few catapults left in the city continuously whistled as they threw out huge oil cans. The general turned his head to look at the mountain of oil that was originally piled up like a mountain. Now that the flamethrowers had been used up, the last group of soldiers of the Blazing Fire Army also rushed up the mountain. He knew that the final battle was about to arrive. Veins popped out on his right hand, which was holding the hilt of the saber. He was ready to draw his saber at any moment. He led his brothers to welcome the final charge in this life.
His blood had not run out, and he had not stopped fighting!
