Late at night in Mingzhou, it was quiet. More than a dozen Black Armored Soldiers were guarding the intersection of several streets like ghosts. Their mission was to guard and keep watch.
Regardless of whether it was the soldiers and constables who did their duty, the warriors and paladins who acted upon hearing the news, or the drunkards and idlers who wandered around, they were all the targets of their mission. Their mission was to drive away these reckless people and prevent them from advancing in a certain direction — with their blades or with their deaths.
They scanned the streets vigilantly to ensure that nothing unusual happened. Suddenly, a figure appeared on the street. That person had clear eyes and short hair. He was wearing a white western-style trench coat. His expression was calm. He was neither afraid nor surprised. Instead, he smiled and said, "Found him."
The leader of the Black Armored Soldiers drew his bow and shouted, "Stop, get lost!"
The young man looked at them and smiled, "Kui Ox Armor, Swallowing Light Helmet, Black Saber, Fierce Bow, Champion Drill, Black Armored Soldier. You are the pioneers of the king. You have the same hatred as the king. Do you recognize me?"
The leader of the Black Armored Soldiers did not say anything and was about to shoot. However, the person opposite them raised his hand. Immediately, a terrifying aura led to a sharp roar that pierced through the air. In an instant, the leader of the Black Armored Soldiers and their horses were sent flying high into the air. Blood splattered everywhere. They flew for more than ten feet and fell to the ground, unable to move anymore.
Sun Lang retracted his hand and said indifferently, "You can still leave a whole corpse. Not bad."
The other soldiers were shocked when they saw this. They were about to raise their blades to fight when Sun Lang arrived in an instant. He raised his hand and grabbed one of the soldiers off his horse. He lifted his leg and stomped on the ground, breaking the soldier into two. His right hand took the Black Saber from the soldier's hand. With a flash of the saber, three heads flew into the sky. The well-tempered Black Saber was also broken into more than ten pieces of scrap iron.
The hilt of the saber flew out and directly broke the heavy armor. It blasted a bowl-sized hole in another soldier's body. Sun Lang grabbed the hind leg of a war horse and swung the horse that weighed more than a thousand pounds. He rushed forward. A few more people were hit by the dimensional reduction. In the blink of an eye, the Black Armored Soldiers were all killed. Sun Lang grabbed the last survivor and forced him to kneel on the ground.
He smiled warmly and said softly, "Say it."
The Black Armor Sergeant was already terrified by the slaughter. Hearing this, he still wanted to maintain his last shred of dignity as an elite of the world. However, Sun Lang did not have much patience. He exerted a little force with his right hand.
That person's eyes bulged out in an instant, and the skin all over his body bulged strangely. Then, he howled miserably at the sky. His voice was so miserable and loud that it exceeded the limits of what a human could do. It traveled along the quiet street and traveled all the way to the end of the road.
Sun Lang slapped him on the head. "Good call."
The last Black Armored Soldier collapsed into a pool of blood. Sun Lang closed his eyes and listened to the earth.
The voice was heard from afar. As expected, there was a response. The Black Armored Army's Champion Drill had taught them very clearly. This bunch of blockheads would definitely do as they were told.
Receiving an SOS signal from an ally and hearing the miserable wails of an ally before death, in such an extremely important and confidential operation, the two situations were completely different.
Then, he opened his eyes. "Found him."
He leaped up and rushed forward. He heard the sound of a small group of cavalrymen rushing forward. They were not heading here, but in another direction. That was his destination.
"How long has this been going on?"
Xiong Er asked slowly.
Hu Shouxin was surrounded in the center. He waved the spear that he had snatched. His body was already covered in blood, but he was still unstoppable. He was like a mad tiger. However, there was a limit to human strength. He had lost the Imperial Army and did not have a war horse. He was just a powerful martial artist. In the face of an army, martial artists were ultimately powerless.
The 12 Nightwalkers guarded the two sides of the roof to prevent Hu Shouxin from jumping onto the roof and escaping from the two sides. 60 Black Armored Soldiers dismounted and got into formation. They moved slowly in the narrow street and squeezed toward Hu Shouxin from both sides. The other 100 Black Armored Soldiers waited on their horses. If Hu Shouxin turned and ran, it would be their turn.
However, with such a strong formation, the advantage of the terrain, the advantage of numbers, and all their advantages to the extreme, they still could not take down Hu Shouxin.
Although Xiong Er looked calm on the surface, he was inexplicably anxious. He thought, "Why don't we let the cavalrymen charge again?"
They had already tried it once. Although the cavalrymen's charge was earth-shattering and unstoppable, it was not much of a threat to a veteran like Hu Shouxin.
This was because this fellow was a divine archer. When it came to escaping, dodging, and parrying, even if he wasn't unparalleled in the world, he could still be considered one of the few in the world. In the wave of horse trampling just now, he had directly rolled to the ground, calmly dodging the chaotic trampling of a hundred elite horsemen with a total of four hundred legs. He had even used his personal protective dagger to cut open the bellies of several warhorses, crippling more than ten horses' legs and almost causing a traffic accident.
He thought for a moment and decided to attack mentally. He smiled and said, "General Hu, are you still not going to surrender?"
Hu Shouxin waved his spear and forced back another wave of probing attacks from the Black Armored Troops. He laughed and said, "Xiong Er, do you think that dragging on for too long will lead to more trouble? So you want to attack mentally?"
This fellow was so talkative!
Xiong Er was furious, but he smiled and said, "General Hu, you know that the 12 Night Walkers have not made their move yet. The Black Armored Troops have not attacked with their full strength. I have already shown mercy, but my elder brother killed without batting an eyelid. Slaughtering your comrades in the army like this is really despicable."
Hu Shouxin leaned on his spear and said with a smile, "Bastard, when it comes to war, I am your ancestor!
Do you think I haven't seen the Black Armored Troops' championship drill?
It is extremely difficult for the Black Armored Troops to form an army. The cost of training soldiers is high, so the strategy is to advance slowly. Unless it is a critical moment, do not forget to fight to the death. You are afraid that if I fight to the death, too many of the Black Armored Troops will die and it will be difficult to explain to your master. So you are using this kind of method to whittle away my strength. Isn't that what you have in mind? "
He slammed his spear and said with a laugh, "Son of a bitch, don't waste your time. If you make a mistake, you will die in Mingzhou City!"
Xiong Er was so angry that he laughed. "You really don't know what is good for you. Even at death's door, you are still so stubborn!
Hu Shouxin, I want to see how much blood you have left … Black Armored Troops, continue attacking!
Wear him down! "
The Black Armored Troops on both sides received the order and answered loudly. They raised the weapons in their hands and marched towards Hu Shouxin. Hu Shouxin roared and raised his spear.
Xiong Er looked coldly at Hu Shouxin, who was bathed in blood, and then looked at the 12 Night Walkers who stood silently on both sides of the roof. He gritted his teeth. This group of bastards, they had boasted to the heavens, as if they were invincible. In the end, when they saw that Hu Shouxin was still unstoppable even after losing the Imperial Army, they gave up without a second word. They wanted the Black Armored Troops to wear down Hu Shouxin's strength and then reap the benefits …
F * ck … Those who are not of my race are definitely not of the same mind. These monsters were not human for a long time …
However, Xiong Er really couldn't do anything to them. Even His Highness Empress had to rely on them sometimes. After all, their strength was really too useful …
Therefore, Xiong Er thought for a moment and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. No matter if these monsters were slacking or speaking rudely, as long as they completed their mission properly, they wouldn't be held accountable. However, if Xiong Er exhausted the Black Armored Troops too much, he was afraid that Empress would be unhappy.
He could only continue with his psychological attack. "General Hu, now that the dust has settled, no one in Mingzhou City can save you!
I won't hide it from you. Today, you have to die. However, the outcome after your death will be very different. Brother, do you want to resist stubbornly and die under the sword, or do you want to feel that you have sinned so much that you don't have the face to see His Majesty and die to thank him?
Seeing that Hu Shouxin ignored him, he said loudly, "The outcome of the two are very different!
The former is a stubborn traitor!
After your death, your rewards will be taken back and your family will be held accountable!
Can you bear to see your wife and daughter get implicated?
Can you bear to see your subordinates get implicated? "
Hu Shouxin laughed. "I have a clear conscience and am innocent. Why should I admit to such a ridiculous crime?
As for my wife, daughter, and subordinates, they will naturally be taken care of by the Tianyuan Empire.
Don't worry. You besieged a meritorious official of the Tianyuan Empire and killed me without knowing why. It's useless even if you hug the thighs of the Tensei Province!
Xiong Er, don't think that you can sit back and relax just because Empress is protecting you. After my death, half of the empire's military officials will come looking for trouble! "
Xiong Er was stunned for a moment before he laughed wildly. "Looking for trouble?
I'll thank the heavens if they can't even take care of themselves!
Hu Shouxin, do you think Empress wouldn't have thought of such a thing with his intelligence? "
Hu Shouxin blocked the incoming spears and brandished them into a wheel of light, forcing the Black Armored Troops to retreat. He shouted, "What did you say?"
Xiong Er said loudly, "You're counting on them to take care of your wife and daughter?
Dream on!
Hu Shouxin, don't think that I can't do anything to you!
I'll tell you the truth. If you continue to resist like this, your wife, daughter, and subordinates won't live past tonight! "
Hu Shouxin was shocked. He said sternly, "Bullshit!"
Xiong Er laughed. "Why? Do you think I'm lying?
To tell you the truth, Qin Hui is one of us!
At this moment, I'm afraid that the ranger in your Zhong Yi Pavilion has been tied up into a ball!
I'm afraid that Qin Hui has already found out the location of your wife and daughter!
You don't believe me?
If you don't believe me, I'll show you! "
He said sternly, "Men!
Go to the Loyalty Tower and capture those rangers. Kill them one by one in front of Hu Shouxin!
Then go and capture his wife and child … "
Hu Shouxin roared, "Xiong Ying!
I'll take responsibility for my own actions. Don't implicate the innocent! "
Xiong Ying laughed. "You deceived the emperor and committed treason. According to the law, nine generations of your family should be executed. What do you mean by implicating the innocent!"
Hu Shouxin was filled with grief and indignation. He roared, "You're dead!
You're dead! "
"I'll die of old age in a hundred years, surrounded by my descendants. I'll even have a posthumous title after death!"
Xiong Ying laughed heartily. "And you, you'll die tonight in the name of a traitor. There will be no posthumous rewards. You'll die silently. No one will remember you!
Your wife, your daughter, your subordinates, and your friends will all be buried with you!
Tonight!
Tonight! "
Hu Shouxin's eyes were filled with anger. He said sternly, "You …"
Suddenly, the twelve night walkers moved!
Their figures flashed, and they cooperated well. They found the best time to attack. They didn't move, but once they moved, they attacked Hu Shouxin from all directions!
Hu Shouxin roared and attacked wildly with his spear. His strength was like Mount Tai, and he was extraordinarily strong. However, he was filled with anger at this moment. These few moves were full of strength but lacked wisdom. His vigilance and balance were greatly reduced. After a moment, his weakness was seen. The leader of the night walkers shouted, "Seal!"
With a bang, the spear that Hu Shouxin had thrown out with all his strength was blocked by the combined efforts of eight night walkers. The other four split into two groups and quietly approached from behind like ghosts, attacking Old Hu's ribs.
At this critical moment, the battle instincts he had trained on the battlefield saved his life. He felt danger approaching and immediately let go of his spear. He turned around to block two palms, but the other two still landed on his lower abdomen.
With a muffled sound, Hu Shouxin spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated rapidly. At the same time, the eight people who had joined forces to block the fierce attack had also dissolved the enormous force and finished adjusting their breathing. At this moment, the outcome of the battle was clear. They didn't want to advance rashly lest they suffer Hu Shouxin's final counterattack. Instead, they surrounded Hu Shouxin.
Hu Shouxin spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and saw stars. He looked around and found no weapons, no comrades, and his hands were empty. The people in front of him were clearly imperial soldiers, but they wanted to kill him.
He clearly didn't do anything wrong …
He was clearly loyal and devoted, and his heart was clearly sincere …
Why …
Despair, bewilderment, helplessness, and anger.
In such a desperate situation, his heart suddenly became empty. Perhaps it was because he knew his death was near. The things he didn't dare to think about and the problems he didn't dare to face were suddenly solved at this moment.
He looked at the boundless night sky and sighed softly.
Sun Lang … So that's how it is.
I'm really … Stupid.
Slowly, two lines of tears fell from Old Hu's eyes.
Xiong Ying saw that the situation was settled and wanted to say something, but he saw Hu Shouxin's tears. At first, he thought it was funny and wanted to mock him, but for some reason, he felt a little suffocated in his heart.
Since ancient times, beauties were like famous generals who were not allowed to see their heads turn white.
Although this poem was not very appropriate to use here, as a soldier of the Empire, he could not help but sigh when he saw the world-renowned Tiger General of Tianyuan shed tears in the face of despair.
He slowly said, "Why are you crying?"
Hu Shouxin still stood straight and said softly, "My wife is about to give birth. I won't be able to see my second child. And my daughter, I really want to hear her laughter again, and put her on my shoulder again. And my little brother, after I die, will he be sad? I've really been muddle-headed all my life. I never knew what he wanted, I never knew what he was thinking. I've always been like this, dreaming a dream that I should have woken up from long ago … And …"
He wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth and said in a low voice, "So you've already died, Marshal … A Lowly General was muddle-headed, A Lowly General was muddle-headed …"
Yes, he should have realized this earlier.
The unparalleled Marshal of the past had long died.
The person he found was called Sun Lang, a Sun Lang who didn't want to have anything to do with the Empire and the past.
But he still believed that Sun Lang was just throwing a tantrum, that Sun Lang's anger stemmed from the Empire's coercion, and that Sun Lang only had some misunderstanding with the royal family. He still thought that Sun Lang was the Sword Saint of Tianyuan, but he didn't know that he was wrong from the very beginning.
From eight years ago until now, perhaps Sun Lang only wanted to be Sun Lang, but whether it was during or after the war, he had always thought of him as a Marshal.
"… Bullsh * t."
Was this … an auditory hallucination?
Hu Shouxin blinked in surprise and raised his head.
The voice came from the front, behind the layers of armored soldiers and cavalry, very far away.
But the voice came from far away.
"I've done so much, how can I be willing to die?
I'll definitely stand tall in the court, form cliques for personal gain, take bribes, cover the sky with one hand, and monopolize the power. After the dog Emperor dies, I'll set up a crown prince, control the court, and take over the young Emperor. When I'm free, I'll go to the backyard of the Imperial Palace to sleep. When I'm free, I'll say that I'm not feeling well and have the young Emperor kneel and serve me medicine. When I'm in the mood, I'll have the young Emperor carry Ma Zhe on his back and force him to admit that socialism is good. F * ck your mother, why can't I do these things? "
He still couldn't see the person, but Hu Shouxin's body swayed and he sighed.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Because he faintly felt that … Sun Lang had become a little different.
Unlike Hu Shouxin's mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, Xiong Ying's brain almost stopped thinking.
It was as if he had heard the most deafening thunder in the world. For a moment, he couldn't hear any sound in his ears. He couldn't have heard it wrong, he couldn't forget it. Although a few years had passed, Xiong Ying would never forget that voice. But …
But how he hoped that he had heard it wrong.
He even wanted to cover his ears, as if nothing had happened.
But Xiong Er didn't listen, and that voice found him.
"Ah, Er Danzi, Er Danzi."
That person sighed softly. "Your grandfather, who had been buried for two years, has his soul returned. It's such a joyous occasion. Don't you come over and kowtow?"
Xiong Ying's neck seemed to be rusted, and he turned his head one by one.
He looked at the person on the other side of the long street.
His body, hair, and skin were from his parents, but this audacious person cut his hair into a strange short hairstyle. The empire had the beauty of beautiful clothes, but he wore a strange western clothes. As the Tianyuan Meritorious Achievement and the head of the world's military officials, he didn't have the slightest dignified posture, but a sloppy face.
This man looked like a good-for-nothing prodigal who had been blinded by the local customs and customs of the barbarians and had dressed up in a deviant manner, forgetting his parents and ancestors.
But this person was the most dazzling general in the Tianyuan Era.
He was the most powerful official, and his achievements were unparalleled in the era.
He was the best in the world three times.
His lips were trembling.
His body was trembling.
His soul was trembling.
Suddenly, he shouted crazily, "Black Armored Army!
Attack!
Attack!
Kill him! "
Then he turned back and roared, "Night Walkers!
Catch Hu Shouxin quickly!
Catch Hu Shouxin! "
The Black Armored Army didn't know the identity of the uninvited guest, and soldiers had to obey orders. So they turned their horses around, neighed in unison, leveled their spears, pulled out their sabers, nocked their bows, and rushed towards the enemy!
Okay, just stop him for a while, just a while will do!
Xiong Ying turned his head. Next, they had to catch Hu Shouxin, and then …
The twelve Night Walkers looked at each other, and rushed to the sky at the same time, fleeing in all directions!
— Bastard!
Xiong Ying cursed and shouted, "Foot soldiers!
Go forward!
Go forward!
Go forward!
Capture the enemy alive!
You must capture him alive!
You must capture him alive! "
Hu Shouxin was shocked. He wasn't worried about the Black Armored Army that was rushing over, but he was worried about the twelve Night Walkers that had escaped. They were very cunning, had outstanding skills, and were very fast. As long as one of them escaped and reported today's matter to the Empress Concubine, then …
He shouted, "Sun Lang!
Don't worry about me!
Go and kill those twelve people first! "
Xiong Ying seemed to have grasped at the last life-saving straw, and said hoarsely, "Yes!
Kill them first!
I won't kill Hu Shouxin, I definitely won't kill him! "
Sun Lang looked at the Black Armored Elite Cavalry charging towards him, and looked at the Night Walkers who had escaped into the night, and smiled.
He said softly, "Old Hu, you should call him Marshal."
Hu Shouxin suddenly had a very bad premonition, "Sun Lang, what are you trying to do?"
Sun Lang stretched out his hand and closed his eyes, as if he was calling for something.
In an instant, Hu Shouxin sensed it. His eyes almost popped out, and he shouted hoarsely, "Sun Lang!
Stop!
I told you to stop!
Stop! "
Then, Sun Lang opened his eyes, and the night wind blew his robes. The former Seven Luminaries Sword Saint laughed, "The horse flies fast, the bow is like thunder, the bow is like thunder, the string is like thunder, the king of the world, the king of the world, the reputation of life and death!
Haha!
The reputation of life and death!
The reputation of life and death! "
The Imperial Army, the divine weapon that Houtu Empire relied on to run rampant in the world, dominating the universe.
It had a mysterious power that transcended the mortal world, and only martial artists who refined spirit into qi could control it. Every one of the Imperial Army's unique name was a legend, a legend. They fought with their master, grew with their master, and once a contract was signed, no one else could use them except their master.
Except for one person.
Lightning flashed, and purple light rushed to the sky.
A terrifying black cloud suddenly rose up in the sky. Lightning flashed, and the night sky blazed. The Thunder Bow that had been sealed by the Nightwalker shot up into the sky, releasing brilliant lightning. Then, it rushed towards Sun Lang's hand!
Sun Lang held the bow in his hand, and the bowstring was like a full moon.
The pulsing purple light condensed into a slender arrow, and the tip of the arrow flickered with light, condensing the power of destruction. Sun Lang's robes fluttered, and he drew the thunder bow. His eyes were unprecedentedly calm and clear, and he condensed all his thoughts, all his restraints, and all his beginnings in these two years into this arrow.
"Sun Lang is here!" He laughed, "You all …"
Those who love me, I love you.
Those who hate me, I hate you.
Those who miss me, those who follow me, those who trust me, those who miss me, those who hope for me.
Those who fear me, those who hate me, those who fear me, those who betray me, those who are ashamed of me.
You all.
"Watch out for my arrow!"
