Chapter 975: Chapter 975 Possessed by Demonic Fire

Li Xin’s troops had already surrounded you completely, and his main force had mostly entered the city.

At first, because he had been chasing you, he hadn’t paid much attention to his surroundings, but now, he seemed to realize something was amiss. Pingliang was too quiet, eerily quiet, giving one a spine-chilling illusion; moreover, it seemed that in the whole of Pingliang City, there were only a small contingent of troops resisting and the young man with a resolute face before him.

"Luo Yun," you said with a slight smile, looking straight at Li Xin.

"Are you Luo Yun?"

"Yes."

"Indeed, it’s like finding something effortlessly after searching desperately everywhere! Come, arrest him!"

"Hehe, before you arrest me, General Li might want to take a look around yourself." When Li Xin turned his head to look around, he was horrified to find that not far away, the skies were filled with billowing black smoke, mixed with bursts of firelight, and waves of heat quickly swept over.

"What on earth did you do!?" Li Xin yelled at you.

"Isn’t it already written on this tombstone? This place is your burial ground, Li Xin. Hehe, you should feel honored, having the entire Pingliang City as your graveyard!"

"You madman!"

Li Xin immediately commanded his soldiers to break out, but as he turned his head, he felt an intense pain in his chest. Lowering his head, he found that the long stick in your hand had already stretched several tens of meters, even piercing directly through his chest.

"Li Xin, may you be reincarnated well in the next life, and come to my Tang Dynasty!" You lifted Li Xin’s corpse high with the Immovable Dragon Pole and then slammed it heavily onto a building, and with a casual sweep, you claimed the lives of more Qin soldiers.

With the death of the commander Li Xin, the Qin Army did not show any panic. Instead, they attacked you with a vengeance. You, careless for a moment, got struck by several arrows. However, you still managed to escape by relying on your strange movement technique.

"Husband!"

You ran swiftly and soon met up with Wu Zhao. Seeing you covered with arrows, Wu Zhao almost felt her liver and guts shatter with distress. She almost flew in front of you, as sparkling tears continuously rolled down.

"It’s okay, your husband is not going to die yet, just minor injuries."

Since the arrows of the Qin Army had barbs, every arrow you pulled out tore some flesh, and although these wounds healed quickly under the green halo’s treatment, Wu Zhao couldn’t help crying.

She felt like she could no longer hold on, the shadow of your death constantly entwining her mind. Every time she saw you so seriously injured, it cut her deeply, but she was helpless, given her own lack of strength.

"Zhao’er, don’t cry." You embraced Wu Zhao, tenderly kissing her cheeks, wiping away her warm, salty tears.

"Husband, let’s not fight anymore, let’s give up. I would rather die than see you hurt again."

Wu Zhao cried, cried very heartbrokenly. Night after night, she was always awakened by the same nightmare. In the nightmare, you died—a gruesome death, hands cut off, feet chopped off, bleeding from seven orifices, your soul extinguished forever.

Wu Zhao felt she was about to collapse, fully aware of the formidable opponent they were about to face, whose power was almost insurmountably great within the Three Realms, to the extent that hardly anyone could offer aid.

"Zhao’er!"

You straightened Wu Zhao’s posture with a severe expression.

"How can you speak such disheartening words? I am telling you, no matter the outcome, we must fight! We both know who we are up against, but even if they are the Lord of the Three Realms, as long as we do not face them directly, as long as we still have a glimmer of hope for survival, we must not give up! To give up is to die. I may not be one for sweet nothings, but I can tell you this, you Wu Zhao are my woman, for thousands of lifetimes! If a god stands in my way, I shall kill a god; if the heavens seek to destroy me, I will shatter these heavens!"

"Boom!" Thunderbolts streaked across the sky in an instant, quickly followed by torrential rain that extinguished the great fire Wu Zhao and others had struggled to ignite in Pingliang City, and tens of thousands of Qin Soldiers had their lives spared.

You glared fiercely at the sky, then hurriedly retreated with Wu Zhao and the soldiers towards Xizhou City.

Although Li Xin had died, his subordinates remained, and they had taken control of Pingliang City. Simultaneously, Wang Ben had assigned his son Wang Li to temporarily take command of Li Xin’s troops, continually sending supplies to Pingliang City. Soon, Chengdu City was surrounded by Wang Ben and Wang Li.

You led the Death Squad into Chengdu City overnight to discuss strategies with Li Zhengfeng.

By that time, Li Zhengfeng was at his wits’ end, standing against Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian—a tiger father does not beget a dog son. In front of Wang Ben, Li Zhengfeng felt rather weak; many of his supposedly brilliant strategies turned into a joke, a shameful joke that senselessly sacrificed the men of the Tang Dynasty.

"It has been half a month! Wang Li has completely cut off Xizhou City’s supply lines. If we don’t break out soon, within ten days, our soldiers will starve. Already, the families in Chengdu City are running out of food, and the city’s law and order is deteriorating with frequent theft and robbery occurring."

The logistic officer reported with a furrowed brow while Li Zhengfeng’s complexion looked poor. He was tightly gripping his sword hilt, his originally handsome face distorted with a very unharmonious ferocity.

"General Li, let’s fight our way out!" Cheng Chuliang, having been injured during several probes, although healed by you, still harbored psychological scars that would hardly heal quickly.

"Once we abandon Chengdu City, it means that half of the Tang Dynasty’s territories will be taken by the Qin People. The north and northwest are already under severe pressure; we cannot add any more burden."

Li Zhengfeng tried to keep his voice low. "What we can do now is to break through head-on and kill Wang Ben!"

"That’s impossible!" Cheng Chuliang voiced the thoughts of everyone in the tent.

"General, urgent news!" At that moment, a soldier rushed in breathlessly.

"What’s the rush! Even if Wang Ben leads his army into the city, there’s no need to panic," Li Zhengfeng glared at the nervous soldier.

"Luo, General Luo, he, he..."

"What happened!?"

Everyone stood up; they could say that you were now the backbone of the city. Although repeated probes had ended in failure, your bravery had left a profound impression on countless individuals.

Whether Qin Soldiers or Tang Soldiers, no one could mention you without giving a thumbs up. At this moment, you absolutely could not afford an accident.

"General Luo has gone mad! He has destroyed the city gate and is charging towards the Qin Army’s camp outside the city!"
