Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Luo City was facing a huge test. The Wan Family Army had already broken through the city gates. Xiao Zeyu and Zhong Yong were guarding the city gates like a god of death, blocking the passage into the city. The Xiao Family Army was brave enough to kill their enemies without fear of death, swearing to protect Luo City.

No matter how unafraid the Xiao Family Army was, no matter how high their morale was, there would be times when they would be exhausted. The Wan Family Army was like a tide; after one wave retreated, another wave would immediately surge in.

Xiao Zeyu couldn’t remember how many people he had killed. The armor on his body was already dyed red with blood, and the spear’s tip in his hand had become blunt. However, he still maintained his powerful combat strength. The spear in his hand flipped back and forth, and in the end, killing had become a mechanical action.

Zhong Yong’s strength was extraordinary; he smashed a Wan Family soldier to death with a hammer. His body was covered in blood and brain matter, and his eyes were wide open like copper bells. He roared into the sky,

“F * eking legs, I’ll smash you to death.”

The Xiao Family’s army fell one by one. Xiao Zeyu hated himself for being unable to grow three heads and six arms to protect his soldiers and civilians.

Seeing that the enemies were increasing, he knew there was no way out except for him dying on the battlefield today.

He would never abandon the civilians and soldiers in the city and escape alone. He had no guilt in dying with Luo City, but he greatly missed Su Qing, Grandpa, and Xiaoying.

‘How sad would his family be if he died on the battlefield?

I’m sorry, Qing’er. I caused you to become a widow at such a young age!

I’m sorry, Grandpa. I made you die!

I’m sorry, Xiaoying. I caused you not to have a brother to take you to get married!’

“Kill them!”

Xiao Zeyu’s heart was filled with grief and anger. With a roar that could swallow mountains and rivers, he rushed out of the city gate alone to block the Wan Clan army pouring into the city. He shouted into the city,

“Close the city gates.”

He wanted to sacrifice himself to protect the people in the city.

“Big brother, little brother will accompany you.”

Zhong Yong would not let his big brother fend off the Wan Family Army alone. He followed Xiao Zeyu out of the city gates. The two of them were like heavenly soldiers guarding the city gates. They did not show any fear in the face of the thousands of Wan Family Army soldiers. Their eyes were filled with killing intent.

Long Ling commanded the 10,000 troops to charge into the city. Seeing the brave Xiao Zeyu was like seeing General Xiao Heng; they were all dying for the commoners. Long Ling sighed in his heart. No wonder the commoners were so obsessed with the Xiao Family Army. They would rather die to protect the commoners.

This was just a war between two armies. If Xiao Zeyu was his master, Long Ling felt he would pledge his loyalty, even if it meant death.

Unfortunately, they were enemies now. It was either you die, or I live. With the emperor’s order, even if he couldn’t bear it, he had to get rid of the Xiao family’s child today to protect the emperor’s country for thousands of years.

“Bring my Heavenly Halberd.”

Long Ling took advantage of Xiao Zeyu’s exhausted strength to order his subordinates to bring over his weapon. The halberd he used weighed a few dozen jin, and he was also a fierce general with extraordinary strength.

“Move aside. I want to meet the Xiao family’s child personally.”

Long Ling shouted at the subordinates surrounding Xiao Zeyu to retreat. He rode his horse forward and said to Xiao Zeyu, who was covered in blood,

“I advise you to surrender. Don’t resist fearlessly.”

“Hmph cut the crap. If you have the ability, come and take my head.”

Xiao Zeyu snorted coldly and placed the spear horizontally in front of his chest. His arms were so tired that they were trembling. He gripped the spear shaft tightly to regulate his breathing and seize the time to recover his strength.

“Alright, then, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Long Ling truly admired Xiao Zeyu. Even when surrounded by the army, he showed no fear in his eyes. His overbearing aura was not something that anyone dared to underestimate.

Long Ling wanted to capture Xiao Zeyu alive as long as possible. The emperor wanted to know how to use his weapon, but even if he captured him alive, Xiao Zeyu had an irreconcilable hatred of the emperor and was a tough nut to crack. He would never tell the emperor about his weapon.

Xiao Zeyu took a deep breath and regained his strength. His eyes were like torches as he looked at Long Ling:

“Bring it on.”

“Big brother, let me meet him.”

Zhong Yong saw that Long Ling’s halberd was heavy and feared that his big brother would be disadvantaged. He rode his horse forward to block between Xiao Zeyu and Long Ling.

“Zhong Yong, protect the city gate. You must hold on and wait for reinforcements to arrive.”

Xiao Zeyu pulled Zhong Yong behind him. Although Zhong Yong had extraordinary strength, he still lacked battle experience. Looking at this Long Ling, it was obvious that he was crafty. He was afraid that Zhong Yong would be at a disadvantage.

“Big brother…”

Zhong Yong was worried about Xiao Zeyu, but he was used to listening to him. His eyes were red.

Xiao Zeyu nodded to his good brother and rode his horse forward to shield him behind him. As an older brother, he would protect his younger brother for as long as possible.

Zhang Jinglin and the soldiers in the city killed the enemies bravely. They killed all the Wan Family soldiers who rushed into the city. He was also covered in blood. When he saw the young master sacrifice himself for the city’s people, Zhang Jinglin’s eyes were wet with tears.

“Those not afraid of death, follow me to protect the young master. Those who stay in the city close the gates and protect the people.”

More than half of the 2,000 soldiers had already been killed or injured. There was no chance of turning the situation around in today’s battle. Zhang Jinglin wanted to fight for the people in the city until the last moment. He called for the fearless soldiers of the Xiao Family Army to rush out of the city with him. In the end, he saw that none of the soldiers of the Xiao Family Army retreated. All of them requested to fight with him to save the young master.

Ultimately, Zhang Jinglin had no choice but to force half the people to stay in the city. He led the remaining half out of the city gate and stood in a row behind Xiao Zeyu.

The city gate closed behind them, and the air was filled with sadness. However, no one turned around to look, and no one had the slightest fear in their eyes. They were all unafraid of death.

Xiao Zeyu turned around and glanced at them. At this time, there was no need to send Zhang Jinglin back. The remaining soldiers could not defend Luo City. He needed to stall for time and wait for Mo City and Jingshi Dao’s reinforcements to arrive.

He would not give up easily until the last moment!

Long Ling wasn’t in a hurry to attack the city. He felt that Luo City was already within his grasp. He wanted to capture Xiao Zeyu personally. Only then would he be able to bear the humiliation of having his rations burned?

Long Ling raised his Heavenly Halberd and attacked Xiao Zeyu. The other deputies of the Wan Family Army surrounded Zhong Yong and Zhang Jinglin. They didn’t even care about martial virtue. Two against one, weapons rattled against each other, and battle cries shook the sky and earth.

The commoners in the city helped the injured soldiers to bandage their wounds. Many commoners cried because Luo City could not be saved, and the Xiao Family Army was about to be completely wiped out.

Xiao Zeyu and Long Ling fought. Xiao Zeyu knew that Long Ling’s strength was extraordinary, so he didn’t compete with him in terms of strength. Instead, he used the clever moves of the spear, always striking after the enemy. The warhorse was already connected to its master’s mind, so it could immediately understand its master’s intentions and avoid Long Ling’s killing moves.

“The child of the Xiao family is quite capable.”

Long Ling couldn’t help but praise Xiao Zeyu for being so thoughtful. Xiao Zeyu took advantage of the gap between his words to stab Long Ling in the neck, scaring Long Ling so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. Long Ling quickly dodged, but his neck and shoulder were exposed. Xiao Zeyu stabbed him.

A colossal explosion and a towering flame sent the Wanjia Army flying into the sky. Xiao Zeyu looked up in surprise..
