Chapter 253 Urgent News

Yaoguang City.

The first rays of sunlight at dawn illuminated the clouds in the sky into a fish belly white color.

The temporary observation post was set up by the authorities in the city defense army camp.

Tens of thousands of independent cultivators, plus the city defense army on alert around, more than 150,000 awakened people gathered here.

The originally spacious tent suddenly seemed a bit crowded.

There were irritable voices everywhere, and complaints were heard from time to time, venting their dissatisfaction with the authorities.

Duan Xiaorou had no relatives in Yaoguang City, and no familiar friends except Lu Changsheng, so she could only hide in the corner helplessly.

Holding the inferior imitation mask in her hand, Duan Xiaorou's eyes were a little erratic, and I don't know what she was thinking.

"Are you also a fan of 'that adult'?" Hongye sat next to Duan Xiaorou with some curiosity and said with a smile.

Even if it was not particularly stretched, Hongye's long legs were much longer than Duan Xiaorou's.

Duan Xiaorou glanced at him with some envy, then silently lifted her legs, pressed them against her body, and wrapped them with her hands.

"I'm not a fan, I was originally the apprentice of that adult..." Duan Xiaorou muttered a little aggrieved.

Hongye's eyebrows were slightly curved, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she said with a smile, "It's not an easy thing to be the apprentice of that adult."

"I know..." Duan Xiaorou's voice was a little low, "I don't dare to think about those things now, I just want to end the observation quickly, I still have important things to do."

"Don't worry, it will all be over soon." Hongye blinked at Duan Xiaorou mysteriously, looking confident.

Duan Xiaorou looked at Hongye with some doubts, and just wanted to ask if the other party knew any inside information.

A dark figure suddenly passed through the sky and landed accurately in the center of the observation station.

Boom——

The person who came was like a small meteorite, and directly smashed a small hole in the observation station.

"What's going on?" Duan Xiaorou stood up and tiptoed, trying to get past the crowd and see the situation in the distance.

"Don't worry, this is Yaoguang City, the center of the Demon Slayer Division, nothing will happen." Hongye pointed calmly in the air.

Countless figures flew through the air and headed straight for the scene.

A man with a charred body slowly stood up from the pit, as if he had just walked out of the flames.

A wisp of black smoke that had not yet completely dissipated was lingering around the man. His skin was burned by the high temperature and lost its original color, showing an uneven dark black color. In some places, you can even see cracks, like a dry riverbed.

His red eyes were particularly bright in the charred face, like two clusters of jumping flames.

"What the hell?"

"Is that... a person?"

"Fuck, look at his head, most of it is missing, he must be dead!"

"Fuck!! He's moving, he's not dead!"

The casual cultivators around the pit were talking in groups of three or two, all with confusion in their eyes.

"City defense camp, who is trespassing?" In midair, dozens of city defense soldiers fell rapidly and surrounded the man.

"My... name?" The man twisted his burnt neck and shook off the carbonized matter on the ground.

"Li... Yongzheng."

"Li what?" The nearest city defense soldier didn't hear it clearly, but he just took a step forward and something strange happened.

Puff--

A black and red strip of meat stretched out from Li Yongzheng's palm and directly pierced the head of the person who came.

The people around didn't even see how Li Yongzheng made the move, the body of the city defense soldier had already fallen down powerlessly.

A wisp of strange white mist visible to the naked eye floated up from his body and flew towards Li Yongzheng.

"Heh..." Li Yongzheng took a deep breath, sucked the white mist into his nose, and made a comfortable groan similar to that of a drug addict.

"Damn, it's an enemy attack!"

"All city defense troops!"

"Draw your swords to fight!"

Countless sounds of swords being drawn rang out at the same time, and a piercing alarm sounded over the camp.

Dozens of peak level 6 city defense troops, in tacit cooperation, surrounded Li Yongzheng and attacked him, leaving no room for escape.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Dozens of black and red strips of meat pierced Li Yongzheng's skin and rushed towards the attacking city defense troops.

The speed of the strips of meat was extremely fast, not only did they arrive first after launching, but they were also extremely accurate.

In just one encounter, dozens of peak level 6 city defense troops were all shot in the head.

Dozens of white mists slowly emerged and wrapped around Li Yongzheng.

"That's it..." Li Yongzheng's voice gradually became excited, and the burn marks on his body slowly fell off, revealing the newly grown pink tender flesh.

"Run!!!!"

In the crowd, someone shouted loudly.

A stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The already unhappy casual cultivators no longer care about the official warnings, and all ran away like crazy.

Hongye and Duan Xiaorou's positions could not see what happened specifically.

But Duan Xiaorou was particularly familiar with this atmosphere. When she fled in Fengdu City that year, she felt the same way...

She grabbed Hongye's wrist without any hesitation and shouted, "Run! Run! If you run slowly, you will die!!"

......

Combat Command.

"Urgent report!"

"There is a sudden enemy attack on the city defense camp. The first wave of patrol scouts have been wiped out. The enemy's strength is confirmed to be at the Venerable level."

"The casual cultivators in the camp have lost order and are running away like crazy. The city defense army has sent a request for instructions. Should they be allowed to pass?"

Lin Yuan was not at the Demon Slaying Division headquarters, and the top leaders of various departments, as long as they reached the level of the Venerable, were also taken away.

Half of the current headquarters are deputies from various departments, and I was a little confused for a while.

"Ask the city defense army to separate into four teams, guide the scattered cultivators to evacuate from the four gates, and station them outside the city. Don't let them escape."

"Report the emergency to the military lord and ask him to send his lord to come back for reinforcements. If the military lord is fighting, he will contact the subordinates one by one according to their positions."

Zhong Peipei, as the strongest person among those left behind and Lin Yuan's confidant, stood up decisively at this moment and commanded everyone.

Seeing that there was a backbone, everyone who was a little stunned now started to get busy.

"Charlene!" Zhong Peipei shouted towards Charlene, instead of calling her "Director Xia" as usual.

Charlene understood and turned around to leave the headquarters.

"It only takes 30 minutes at most for Your Majesty to return to Yaoguang City from Sun City. Before that, no matter what happens, don't mess up."

"I will go to the front line to meet the enemy. If I die in battle, the deputy commander of the city defense army will take over the command."

"Act now!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhong Peipei turned into a rainbow light and broke through the glass of the headquarters.

Heading towards the direction of the city defense camp, they rushed straight away.
