Chapter 50 Fighting the Fire

At the time of the child, the moon was in the sky.

The misty clouds and mists in the sky in the first half of the night have disappeared, and the brightness of the moonlight allows people to clearly see the surrounding things.

In front of the west city gate, Pingyang Hou Lema slowly stopped.

The good horse under his crotch snorted and breathed heavily due to the short distance. Behind him, a vanguard army of ten thousand people composed of chariots and cavalry stopped with him.

——The road ahead is cut off.

At this juncture, someone dared to stand alone in front of the city gate, blocking the way of the army.

The moonlight shines down, illuminating the lonely figure under the city. It is a young man in white.

Wu You stood up slowly, his face emerged from the shadows, and the spell that concealed his aura was dispersed. A hazy veil seemed to be lifted from the sights of the soldiers, and the ethereal and fairy-like temperament of the person in front of them instantly became clear. The wind blows automatically, and there are stars in the eyes.

The cavalry soldiers in the front row suddenly panicked.

"this……"

"Immortal, Immortal!"

"Are you kidding me?"

Pingyang Hou was silent for two seconds and closed his eyes as if tired - all the abnormal situations could be explained at this moment, and they were the most unexpected and the one he least wanted to see.

He quickly opened his eyes and raised his hand, and the noisy military formation suddenly became quiet.

"What do you mean by immortality?"

"This road is blocked." Wu You replied calmly.

As if he thought this was a bit too perfunctory, he added: "Jian'an City cannot be in chaos now."

After hearing this, Marquis Pingyang was about to speak, but the horse underneath him suddenly became restless and neighed and stood up, almost throwing him off the horse. Thanks to his superb riding skills, he was able to control the horse.

The horse's fragile nerves could no longer bear the pressure of facing the Gold Core monk, and it wanted to escape.

After comforting his mount, Marquis Pingyang looked into Wu You's eyes and said solemnly: "If the Immortal Chief is willing to let me borrow the passage today, when I succeed in taking power, I will repay your sect tenfold."

Wu You paused and shook his head decisively: "Stop making useless attempts. Withdraw your troops and return to your fiefdom. I will not stop you."

He has his own considerations.

Although Li Guo was obviously grateful for the sect's help, Wu You felt that this was more like a transaction.

A deal between the sect and the ruling class of Li country.

The emperor who contracted a mysterious illness, the princes who died violently one after another, the princes who were growing in power, the immortal seedlings and resources provided by the sect... and now it seems that he has deliberately concealed the inside story.

What's the inside story of this transaction, and what's the master's purpose in sending him here? Before he investigates everything clearly, he cannot let the truth disappear in the turmoil.

"..."

Pingyang Hou Muran.

He turned his horse's head and walked back to the military formation. Under the dim moonlight, the expressions on the soldiers' faces were hard to see clearly, but their panic and confusion could be clearly felt.

Immortal cultivators, in folklore, are the beings who stand on auspicious clouds and hold great power in their hands, and who entrust all the good expectations of mortals to them. At this moment, they stand opposite them.

Is this the so-called timing?

Really...

The hatred in his eyes turned into the final flame. He faced the military formation, and a wisp of the martial artist's inner strength he had cultivated surged up from his dantian, sounding like a loud bell:

"All officers and men obey orders!"

"The person standing in front of you is not some god who saves the world! But the Demonic Cultivator, the evil leader who has cut off the destiny of our country, Dali! This group of monks assassinated the Holy One, controlled the government, and single-handedly created the chaos in this world!"

"We may die because of this, and we may not be able to save everything by giving our lives, but tonight, at least let us die for our country!"

"God bless Dali!"

The amount of information in these words was too great for the soldiers, and they were unable to tell the truth from the false. However, these words successfully pointed the source of all their suffering and blood and tears in these years to the person in front of them.

"God bless Dali!"

When the first soldier screamed, the nameless anger that had accumulated in everyone's heart was instantly ignited, and the roar shook the sky, as if it was going to burn and destroy the whole world!

“God bless Dali!!”

Wu You looked at the demoralized army in front of him and remained solemn and silent. Based on only the known clues, he could not even refute Pingyang Hou's words.

Pingyang Hou took an eight-foot long spear from the centurion's hand. The spear's tassel was flying, and its cold tip was pointed directly at Wu You:

"Line up and charge!"

The cavalry is like a high wall and a huge wave, carrying anger and hatred, rushing towards Wu You with the force of landslide and tsunami!

In the Immortal Cultivation World, when there is a gap in realm, there is no point in human sea battles, let alone the difference between immortals and mortals.

When the front horse was less than twenty meters away from Wu You, Wu You released his spiritual pressure.

The war horses within a hundred meters away from him seemed to be pulled by some force, unable to move and fell over. The cavalry on the horses were also thrown off their backs.

The first wave of momentum should have collapsed.

But the soldiers in front of them who were circled to vent their hatred were like crazy demons. When their horses fell down, they stood up with their legs and rushed towards him. When they got closer, the spiritual pressure was so strong that they couldn't stand, so they crawled forward...

The arrows shot from the powerful bow screamed through the air, but were blown down without even touching the side of the protective aura.

And Wu You just stood there.

"Heh...ah..."

The soldier at the front was crawling hard under the powerful spiritual pressure. His face was covered with veins, and it was unclear whether it was sweat or blood on his forehead. He was still one step away from Wu You, but the spiritual pressure here had made him completely unable to move. He moved, only staring at Wu You with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

The soldiers were like moths drawn to the flame, launching futile attacks against him again and again.

Wu You's expression became more and more serious, and his heart became heavy. He raised his palm slightly, and the wind caused by his spiritual power immediately blew away the soldiers crawling forward with their spiritual pressure.

At this moment, a cold light suddenly appeared, and a spear was directed towards Wu You's head. It was actually the Marquis of Pingyang himself, using the power of a first-class warrior to attack the Gold Core monk!

"clang!"

The tip of the spear pierced the center of Wu You's eyebrow without any hindrance, but it seemed like it had pierced a piece of thousand-year-old black iron, unable to make any progress.

"I don't know if you really want to do something for the world, or if you are just using this slogan as a fig leaf."

Wu You spoke, staring at Pingyang Hou as if he didn't feel the attack. The reason why the other party was able to get close was because he deliberately let go of his spiritual pressure.

He raised his hand to hold the tip of the spear, and with a little force, the spearhead made of fine steel was crushed into an irregular iron lump by him, and he dropped it on the ground.

"But no matter what, you should leave now instead of inciting a group of ignorant people to die."

Marquis Pingyang seemed to want to say something, and the determination in his eyes made Wu You roughly guess what he was going to say, so he did not give him the chance.

The next moment, Pingyang Hou flew out upside down.

Quietness returned to the west of the city.

After the unconscious Marquis Pingyang was taken away by his personal guards and evacuated, the deputy general Xia, who took over the command, immediately ordered the withdrawal of the troops, and the incident finally ended.

No body was left on the messy battlefield.
