673: Chapter 426: Flas and Madness 673: Chapter 426: Flas and Madness The full-strength blow of the Semi-Saint strong warrior, though it rely grazed the skies above Huizhou County, inevitably plunged the crowd below into chaos with its dazzling light that eclipsed the sun itself.
In the wake of that roar, which seed like the earth dragon turning over, the queue waiting outside the city gate for entry instantly lost all semblance of order.
Ordinary civilians didn’t understand what had happened, but the knowledge ingrained in them over ti told them that the towering city walls could provide refuge.
The vegetable farrs, carrying fresh produce, desperately fought to squeeze into the city for shelter, only to be knocked down by the guards of rchant caravans on tall horses, scattering the vegetables and fruits on the ground; the leader of the rchants attempted to bribe the soldiers on duty to let them pass but was dispersed by the chaotic crowd, with countless curses echoing beneath the arch of the gate.
And in this state of chaos and disorder, the first death soon occurred.
An emaciated old woman, her head covered in blood, wailed and used all her strength to protect the vegetables and fruits in her basket that were to supplent her family’s inco; however, she was callously overturned by the surging crowd, trampled back and forth until she lay silent.
“Anyone who dares to breach the city gate, execute them!!”
As the words fell, a martial disciple dressed in the uniform of the City Defense Office randomly brought his sword down on the sides of several n trying to sneak into the city amidst the chaos.
With cultivation imbuing the blade, it sliced several n in half!
The n of the City Defense Office had drawn their swords.
The bloody scene and the deathly aura montarily subdued the chaos below, but this semblance of order lasted only for a few breaths.
Because just monts later, another heaven-shaking tremor arrived.
This ti, unlike the first distant rumbling, it occurred right outside the city of Huizhou.
The mortals beneath the city wall didn’t know what had happened, only sensing the towering wind pressure that followed the booming sound.
The strong winds swept down from the sky, the resulting shockwaves from the collision ravaging the earth, causing those with frail bodies to be thrown into convulsions, coughing up blood!
The neighing of horses, the wails of the crowd, and the invisible fear spread beneath the city walls.
The fragile order established was once again shattered as the crowd began to rush desperately into the city.
Under the pressure of the crowd, desperate to survive, the many low-ranking martial disciples from the City Defense Office were already powerless to maintain order.
So people were fortunate enough to escape into the city, but many more were caught by the surging tide of humanity under the arch of the gate tower, where nothing could be seen but crying and shouting.
Pressured from the front, back, left, and right, they couldn’t breathe; so wanted to retreat, but there was no escape, and a sense of hopeless suffocation engulfed everyone under the gate.
And at that mont,
A more despairing sound echoed.
It was a deep, thunderous rumble.
Looking up at the sound, the massive gate was slowly crushing down upon the people below the arch…
Inside the arch, there was a mont of eerie silence, which was soon followed by even more terrified and intense arguing!
“The…the bastards from the City Defense Office are lowering the gate!!!”
“Hurry up…hurry up!!
The people in front move faster!!”
“No…no!
The gate is coming down!”
“Rumble——”
The officers of the City Defense Office responsible for the gate had seen Demonic Beasts and participated in bandit suppression, but what was happening before their eyes could not be explained by such events.
An unknown crisis had descended, and for the safety of the entire county and to prevent the situation from worsening, they had no choice but to shut the city.
Just as the wall began its crushing descent, the panic-stricken crowd suddenly noticed that the sky was also changing bit by bit.
Clusters of erald green light, like lotus blossoms, converged above the city, interlinking with each other, and within a few breaths, a canopy ford, enveloping the vast county city from above!
The Protective City Formation had been activated!
Those who recognized this canopy felt a montary relief, but unfortunately, the majority of the city’s populace had never seen such a spectacle, and the chaos and disorder quickly spread from the gate tower to the entire city……
When the bustling and noisy cries entered the courtyard, the dust freshly stirred had yet to settle.
In contrast to the turmoil inside Huizhou County, the courtyard was eerily silent.
Xu Yuan had not expected to see Li Yunqing here, let alone that after being assassinated above, this fellow was having such a good ti below.
But Xu Yuan quickly ca to terms with it, after all, Yunqing had said before leaving that he wanted to experience the “local customs” here.
His gaze swept over the woman beneath him, and Xu Yuan’s eyes imdiately sharpened.
In the warm morning sunlight,
The stunningly beautiful woman lay on the cold stone table, her lush red gown half-undone, revealing the undulation of her peaks and the pleasing curves of her abdon, bare skin glowing pink in the light, with remnants of blush and youthful allure on her face, evoking distant thoughts…..
“Cough!”
A low cough suddenly broke the quiet of the courtyard, drawing Xu Yuan’s gaze away from the beautiful woman and onto Li Yunqing.
After an instant of eye contact,
Yunqing grinned with a smile.
Xu Yuan smiled back, then looked back at the woman again.
“…..” Yunqing.
After all, n are not as good-looking as won.
Of course, Xu Yuan wasn’t just staring at the beautiful woman because she was pleasing to the eye; he felt she looked familiar.
Yes, familiar.
Although the woman before him had changed her attire and her features, through his spiritual vision, he realized she should be the sa courtesan who had accompanied Yunqing that night in Guangyang Prefecture.
With that thought, Xu Yuan’s gaze, inspecting the woman’s fine figure, beca more scrutinized.
Although the Black Hawk, as the top-tier flying mount in this world, may not match a Great Grandmaster in speed, its advantage lies in endurance, capable of sustained flight for half a month.
