Chapter 883 Three Moves, Three Lives

"What's going on? Why are the two Northern Dynasty armies fighting?"

"Hiss, it's the flag of the Juque Army. That army is the Juque Army of the Northern Dynasties."

"Tuoba Guanghe has invaded the capital. Linxia has been lost?!"

The night was dark, the horns were blowing, and the drums were loud. The defenders in charge of the North City Gate looked at the two armies fighting outside the city in amazement.

One was the Northern Dynasty army that had recently arrived at the city. They surrounded but refused to attack and faced off against the defenders.

The other group had just arrived, and the soldiers with good eyesight saw clearly the flag of the Juque Army through the flickering firelight. Just as they were scared to death, they saw the two teams fighting outside the city.

Rather than saying it was a fight, it was better to say it was a one-sided massacre.

The defenders did not understand the reason for the internal strife in the Northern Dynasty army, but they were happy to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. They took the opportunity to beat drums to call out warnings and make preparations for war.

The war was raging outside the city, and it was not much better inside the city. The Tianji Tower turned into a ghost tower, and corpses and spiritual servants rushed out. With their bloodthirsty instincts, they killed everyone they saw in the city, and some broke into people's houses and started killing.

Some of them fought fiercely with the city defense troops.

The Imperial City Division and some senior officials of the city defense army who were loyal to the Zheng family were also in chaos and entanglement at this moment because Zheng Wenhan died.

They were well aware of Zheng Wenhan's rebellious intentions, and they also knew that what they were doing was to destroy the nine clans. Now that Zheng Wenhan was executed, the emperor would definitely liquidate the members of the Zheng family.

None of them can escape.

But surrendering to the Northern Dynasty was also seeking skin from a tiger. The agreement between Zheng Wenhan and Tuoba Guanghe was based on the fact that the Zheng family gained power and controlled the Southern Dynasty.

Now that the two brothers Zheng Wenhan and Zheng Wenshi have been killed, the Zheng family is finished, and the agreement will naturally be invalidated.

If Tuoba Guanghe's Juque army were allowed to invade the capital, it would be inevitable to burn, loot, or even massacre the city, and their clans were all in the capital.

Zhang Yuanqing rode a five-clawed golden dragon and soared over the capital. He looked down and saw blazing fire outside the city. The giant army was like a sharp knife thrusting into the city defense camp. Wherever it passed, people and horses were shattered.

This army belongs to the Yang family. It was originally disguised as the Northern Dynasty army to attack the city and contain the Zheng family's troops.

It's better now that he has become a victim directly.

The capital's already limited defense force was weakened again, making the situation worse.

The city defense troops in charge of the outer city swarmed up the city wall like ants. The civilians and auxiliary soldiers held torches and carried city defense equipment, climbing up the steps to the top of the city.

In the inner city, the servants of the Inferi sniffed out human scents and started killing people in the city. Rivers of blood flowed in some high-end mansions, and several city defense troops were fighting fiercely with the Inferi on the streets.

Many fires broke out in Guangping Street, Xiaguang Street and Chengle Street. They have not been extinguished until now. In short, it is a chaos.

Looking towards the direction of the Imperial City, it was unusually calm. The eight thousand elites of the Imperial City Division seemed to have heard nothing, and collectively they became deaf and blind.

How to keep this? Tuoba Guanghe can defeat the city in minutes! Zhang Yuanqing sighed silently in his heart.

The original plan was to kill the Zheng family and the imperial division, take over the capital, then organize forces to welcome the defenders returning from Linxia, ​​and finally fight to the death with the Northern Dynasty.

Unfortunately, things will not go as planned. Although the Imperial Master was defeated, Zhang Yuanqing's desperate counterattack put the situation that Zhang Yuanqing had finally recovered into a desperate situation again.

Zhang Yuanqing gathered his mind, gathered the power of the sun, and formed a miniature sun above his head.

The pure golden light shines on the capital below, dispelling the darkness of fear and blood.

The evil creatures and spiritual servants that were raging in the inner city were emitting black smoke, howling and screaming, and turned into ashes.

The people who were fleeing in fear and the city defense troops who were fighting fiercely raised their heads to look at the sky in confusion and shock. They blocked the golden light with their hands, and their eyeballs were sore from the sting.

"dragon?!"

"It's a real dragon!"

"The true dragon comes to the world, and the heaven brings auspiciousness."

The city defense troops and civilians who were lucky enough to witness this scene either exclaimed or knelt down and were greatly shocked.

Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath and said loudly:

"Listen, common people and officers of the capital, I am the emperor Zhao Shun. A few days ago, I received a dream from God Haotian, granting the divine beast a five-clawed golden dragon as a sign of heaven's favor."

There was an uproar below.

There was still no movement from the Imperial City.

Zhang Yuanqing continued loudly:

"Twenty-one years ago, the Northern Dynasty marched southward, killing my people and seizing my territory. The people were displaced and nine out of ten houses were empty. Twenty-one years later, they came back again, burned my home, kidnapped women, and killed children. I can't hate this hatred. We live together."

In the dark capital, lights lit up one after another, and more and more people woke up.

Zhang Yuanqing’s impassioned speech continues:

"The Right Prime Minister Zheng Wenhan colluded with the Northern Dynasty and summoned the huge army to the city. He was already buried in the city and executed. As the king of the country, I should personally guard the gate of the country to repay the country.

"The Zheng family's gang members have been eradicated. All the remaining members of the court are loyal ministers and good generals. They will quickly join me in guarding the country and suppressing foreign enemies."

The Imperial City Division's torches were blazing, and the army quickly assembled.

The city defense troops in the inner city rushed towards the outer city.

The whole city came alive at this moment. The people came to the streets, bathed in the pure sunlight, kowtowed to the emperor standing on the back of the dragon, and worshiped the miracle.

Zhang Yuanqing finally breathed a sigh of relief and flew to the North City Gate with the five-clawed golden dragon.

His next task is to resist the Juque army and delay the situation. The order in the city, the mobilization of the army, and the supply of equipment can be left to the officials including Yang Zai.

It's not something he needs to worry about.

A centurion from the Juque Army rode up to Tuoba Guanghe, cupped his hands and said:

"Commander, the three thousand enemy troops pretending to be soldiers of our court have been wiped out."

Tuoba Guanghe's real body is a strong man of 1.7 meters, with big shoulders and a round waist. He wears black fish scale armor and has dreadlocks under his helmet. His facial features are also typical of the northern border:

Single eyelids, narrow eyes, large face, rough and dark skin.

Tuoba Guanghe said "hmm", but did not order to attack the city. Instead, he looked at the golden light in the distance and said:

"The world says that the emperor of the Southern Dynasties was a second-generation ancestor who indulged in pleasure. He was ranked among the top three faint emperors in history books. Only today did we find out that he was a genius who kept a low profile and bided his time."

As he spoke, the golden light came quickly and stopped over the city gate.

The young emperor stood proudly on his dragon head, his sharp eyes swept across the four hundred giant troops, and finally landed on Tuoba Guanghe, and said in a deep voice:

"Tuoba Guanghe, I heard that you had a three-sword contract with Yang Ce in Linxia City. I will also make a bet with you today. If you can kill me with three punches, Nanchao will give it to you with both hands.

"If you can't kill me, how about you retreat?"

Seeing the arrival of the king who was riding on a five-clawed golden dragon, the defenders were reassured, and their fear of facing the legendary giant army disappeared.

Tuoba Guanghe sneered, his horse whined and knelt down.

He appeared at the top of the city instantly.

boom! boom! boom.

Dozens of surrounding defenders and civilians were shattered on the spot, with blood, flesh and bones splashing everywhere, staining the parapet red.

The defenders made a "crash" sound and retreated like a tide. There was no one within thirty meters around Tuoba Guanghe.

The defender's hand holding the knife was trembling slightly, and the hand holding the bow was trembling slightly. No one dared to attack or step forward.

Tuoba Guanghe raised his head, looked at Zhang Yuanqing in the sky, and said with a smile:

"Why are you standing so high, afraid that I will hit you?

"Grandmaster, why are you betting with me? Why should you bet with me?"

The speed was so fast that I couldn't see clearly. It felt like one punch could kill me instantly. Zhang Yuanqing hurriedly calmed down his emotions and raised the corners of his mouth:

"Take the lives of your four hundred giant troops!"

Woo woo

The wind was strong, and the dark and dense Yin Qi surged from the wilderness. Wherever it passed, the soldiers of the Southern Dynasties who had just died tragically under the hooves of the Juque Army opened their eyes one after another.

They climbed up slowly or jumped upright, their necks creaking and unusually stiff.

Their eyes were empty and lifeless, fangs sprouted from their mouths, their skin was pale, and their fingernails turned black.

These corpses were eroded by Yin Qi and transformed.

Behind these Yin corpses, a beautiful woman wearing a white T-shirt and light-colored jeans stood expressionless, with the surging Yin energy and howling wind in the background.

Tuoba Guanghe narrowed his eyes.

Zhang Yuanqing added in a calm tone: "Or, you go into the city to kill people, and I will slaughter your giant army outside the city."

The purpose of his proposed bet was not to delay time. If it were to delay time, it would actually be more cost-effective for the soldiers guarding the city to die.

He didn't care about the life and death of the defenders. After all, he was in the dungeon, not the real world.

The real reason why Zhang Yuanqing proposed the bet was the main mission - to protect the Southern Dynasty from destruction.

This is nothing more than two ways, one is to repel and kill Tuoba Guanghe. The second is to defend the capital.

It was almost impossible to defeat Tuoba Guanghe, let alone kill him, so the next best thing was to save the capital first.

If the capital fell or was massacred, the Southern Dynasty would be destroyed.

Tuoba Guanghe pondered for a few seconds and sneered:

"The same goes for killing you first."

Zhang Yuanqing immediately rode the golden dragon and raised the altitude, "I will accompany you to the end!"

He expected that Tuoba Guanghe would agree. From Tuoba Guanghe's perspective, killing the grandmaster-level emperor would inevitably collapse the faith in the hearts of the soldiers and people of the Southern Dynasties, and the country would be destroyed.

In addition, with Tuoba's glorious personality, it is easy to make the imperial capital surrender, but it is very time-consuming to massacre the city by himself. After all, the ancient God of War is the king of close combat and the master of the battlefield, but he does not have large-scale attack skills.

Therefore, if you want to massacre the city in a short time, you must have the assistance of your subordinates.

The four hundred giant armies are composed of mist lords and bewitching monsters. They are perfect killing machines.

Therefore, Tuoba Guanghe will protect the Juque army.

Tuoba Guanghe appeared in the Dharma Body, and his height of 1.7 meters swelled to three meters. He had eyes like copper bells, a wide mouth and a big nose, a head with a ferocious expression, and eight arms holding swords, guns, swords, halberds, sticks and thorn rings. The dark golden skin shimmers with metallic luster, and the knotted muscles are like the work of a master sculptor, full of mechanical beauty.

He did not deliberately suppress his aura, nor did he deliberately release the pressure of the strong man. The defenders at the top of the city were filled with fear just by facing the statue-like figure of the evil god.

The whole body was trembling, which was so daring that some soldiers became incontinent on the spot and peed in their crotches.

Some soldiers were lying on the ground, shivering, while others were screaming and fleeing from the city.

The scene was in chaos for an instant, but the next second, the thousands of defenders at the head of the city suddenly calmed down, their emotions were soothed, their fear was still there, but they were able to control themselves.

Zhang Yuanqing said loudly:

"The majesty of the emperor can suppress ghosts and gods!"

The defenders suddenly understood and shouted in unison: "Long live your Majesty!"

In fact, it was Zhang Yuanqing who secretly calmed the emotions of the defenders. However, there were too many people and the effect would not be too strong even under the rain and dew. Therefore, it was necessary to cooperate with the rhetoric of "pretending to be gods and ghosts" to make the defenders themselves feel courageous.

"boom!"

The stone beneath Tuoba Guanghe's feet cracked, and he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Zhang Yuanqing, who quickly saw only an afterimage approaching, felt horrified. While letting the five-clawed golden dragon fly high, he opened the inventory, took out the purple thunder shield, and activated absolute defense.

In the battle with the Imperial Master, the armor was torn apart continuously, and the energy had been accumulated, allowing him to use the regular skills of the Purple Thunder Shield.

Therefore, Zhang Yuanqing had the confidence to clamor for a bet.

The air wave buzzed, and purple light lit up, forming a huge, thick prismatic shield wall.

Tuoba Guanghe, who was absolutely confident in his own physical strength, clenched eight fists and punched them at the same time.

There was a loud noise like a landslide, and the harsh sound waves shattered the eardrums of some of the defenders. The shock wave caused the dense crowd at the top of the city to kneel to the ground.

The purple-gold prismatic shield wall cracked and cracked.

Zhang Yuanqing's energy and blood surged behind the shield wall, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Tuoba Guanghe's domineering punch hurt him through the shield wall.

This was the second time he encountered "Absolute Defense" which was not so strong.

The first time was at the Free Alliance gathering, where the demigod-level Smoker easily broke through the shield wall.

However, compared to that time, this time it was blocked.

At the ninth level, low-level rule-based props are not so easy to use. After all, the dominance of the ninth level already involves the power of rules.

Zhang Yuanqing put away the purple thunder shield, controlled the five-clawed golden dragon, quickly distanced himself, and said loudly:

"The number one master in the north is nothing more than that, come again!"

The defenders at the top of the city cheered loudly.

The bewitching demons and fog lords of the Juque Army yelled and yelled, "Beat Zhao Shun to death!"

"The Southern Dynasty actually has such a magic weapon!" Tuoba Guanghe was not surprised but overjoyed: "The defense is so strong that it is unparalleled in this world. It should belong to me."

He once again turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the fleeing Emperor of the Southern Dynasty.

Zhang Yuanqing opened the inventory, took out the Green Emperor Jade Belt and wrapped it around his waist, then took out the Thunder Armor to cover his body, then switched the form of the five-clawed golden dragon to defense, letting it wrap around his right arm.

With the exemption price of the Artificer's Ring, the five-clawed golden dragon became particularly obedient.

After doing all this, Zhang Yuanqing felt a strong wind blowing against his face, and the enemy was already in front of him. Without thinking, he held the Purple Thunder Shield in his left hand and raised it forward.

Activate electromagnetic protection and golden dragon body protection at the same time.

A bright blue barrier was erected in front of him, and the shadow of the five-clawed golden dragon wrapped around his body, protecting it inside.

"Bang!"

The electromagnetic protection was broken first, disintegrating into a dense arc, covering the night sky, and then dissipated.

Then came the Purple Thunder Shield, which was shattered into "raindrops" by a punch, splattering in all directions.

Finally, the five-clawed golden dragon transformed into a dragon shadow, exploding into a ball of bright golden light.

Tuoba Guanghe's fist penetrated the layers of protection and hit Zhang Yuanqing's chest. The defenders below heard a clear "pop" sound, like a siege cone hitting a flesh and blood body.

Their emperor, their king exploded a ball of blood mist and hit the ground.

"boom!"

A shallow pit with a diameter of six meters was smashed into the ground, and the pit was covered in blood and flesh.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was favored by God Haotian, had broken bones, severed meridians, and had lost his human form.

There was silence at the top of the city, and expressions of despair climbed onto the faces of the defenders. The giant troops outside the city could not see the miserable ending of the enemy emperor, but they cheered thunderously when they saw the leader knocking away the enemy with one punch.

At this time, a soft green light lit up in the pit, and the body without human form quickly recovered, returning to its original appearance in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Yuanqing jumped out of the shallow pit, rose into the air, and said loudly:

"I have been ordered by God to live forever and no one in the world can kill me."

He couldn't beat him, he couldn't beat him at all, so he could only buy time with his life. On the surface, he was as stable as an old dog, but Zhang Yuanqing was very panicked in his heart. He tried his best and tried all means, but he could only rely on the "hard life" of Tuoba Guanghe to survive. That’s all.

Two moves, two lives!

In fact, two moves were already his limit, and he was at the end of his rope at this moment.

The defenders, who were originally in despair, were in mood swings, shouting wildly and raising their arms.

The shouts outside the city stopped and turned into angry curses.

Tuoba Guanghe's face finally turned gloomy, no longer as relaxed and calm as before, his eyes fell on Zhang Yuanqing's waist, and he snorted coldly:

"I want to see how many magic weapons the Southern Dynasty has!"

The shiny metallic muscles suddenly swelled, the veins protruded, and the eight arms that were flaunted spit out wisps of black light, condensing into a large black bow.

Holding the bow with four arms, pulling the string with four arms, the energy and blood all over his body boiled, and strands of blood overflowed, turning into a bloody arrow.

As Tuoba Guanghe drew his bow, strange phenomena appeared in the sky, black clouds surged, and bloody lightning flashed in the clouds.

Zhang Yuanqing felt the crisis of death and at the same time felt that he had been "marked".

He returned the Azure Emperor's Jade Belt, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, the restored Purple Thunder Shield, and the Thunder Armor to his inventory, and stood quietly in the air, giving up resistance and waiting for death to come.

He couldn't avoid this arrow.

The "mark" of the Bewitched Demon has its own tracking function.

"Boom!"

The sound of the bowstring was deafening, and the bloody arrows shot out, turning into a bloody rainbow and swallowing Zhang Yuanqing.

The body of the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty exploded in the air, with bones and pieces of flesh splattering like rain, leaving no intact body.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty died in battle!"

The defenders at the top of the city waited for a few seconds, but before the situation could reverse, they suddenly began to cry and despair over the coming doomsday.

At this time, a man dressed in red came to the wind, holding a small bronze pot and gently stroking it.

The spout of the pot sprinkles golden rainwater, just like the fairy dew raining down from the goddess.

The flesh and blood stumps splashed in all directions began to gather and reorganize as if they were going back in time. In a few breaths, the shattered emperor was resurrected.

The demon refining pot can bring the dead back to life. As long as the death time does not exceed a quarter of an hour, it can be resurrected once within twelve hours. In the gang copy of the Dionysus Club, it was because of this demigod-level item that they survived being trapped in the enemy camp.

"Three moves have passed!" Zhang Yuanqing's voice was loud:

"Commander Tuoba, withdraw your troops."

Tuoba Guanghe said "Hey": "I just said it would be the same if I killed you first. When will I agree to your bet?"

His face was solemn, his eyes were sharp, and he shouted: "Zhao Shun, let me see how many times you can be resurrected."

He drew the bowstring again.

Suddenly, Tuoba Guanghe stopped, turned his head and looked behind him, and saw a sword light roaring towards him above the wilderness and under the night sky.
