Mortal Killers

Xuanqin indeed attacked the city in the night.

This world is just like this. There are dozens of peanuts in the bowl, and they all know that most of them are good, only one is bad, but people will always accurately pick up that bad one and stuff it into their mouth.

The people of North Chu hoped that Xuanqin would rest and attack the city again, hoped that it would snow earlier, and hoped that Xuanqin would withdraw its troops early, but they never hoped that Xuanqin would attack the city in the night...

But Xuanqin came in the night. They launched an attack at around four or five o'clock in the early morning.

And this world is like this too. It always hits people into the ground just when they think they have reached the bottom of the valley and things couldn't get any worse. It says, actually it could be even worse.

Not only did Xuanqin attack the city at night, but also launched a full assault. There were more than a dozen cultivators flying in the sky, and countless soldiers on the ground, densely packed all the way into the endless darkness, as if they were the endless indestructible demons created by the darkness.

Li Shiwen had been standing on the top of the city wall from the beginning to fight back Xuanqin's waves of offensives and killed one Xuanqin soldier after another. His spear was all blood that it became slippery to hold; he had changed spear after spear.

He was simply incredibly brave with the unstoppable courage of Xiang Yu and Lü Bu. No matter win or lose, he would have been a fierce man recorded in history books if it was an ordinary world.

Unfortunately, this world is full of flying immortals...

When he got tired from the killing and looked down to see the dense ants-like Xuanqin soldiers still under the city, he couldn't help but feel suffocated. And it was at this moment that a flying sword suddenly flew out from the darkness and went straight for his heart.

He had long been noticed by Xuanqin's cultivators because of his bravery. Those cultivators didn't make a move at the beginning, first to see how fierce he could be and what was the limit of a mortal, and second, when Li Shiwen was in full swing, they might not be able to kill him easily, so as not to lose face, they'd rather wait and see.

Now he was exhausted and revealed flaws, so the flying sword lurking in the dark came as expected.

Li Shiwen had no time to react to this sword, and he was about to die on the spot!

But who would have thought...

"Ding!"

The sword couldn't pierce Li Shiwen's body. Li Shiwen's body emitted a purple sword light to fight back and slashed away the incoming flying sword with one sword!

"What?!" The cultivator in the deep darkness exclaimed, "Sword qi protection again?"

"Didn't the baby who escaped during the day also have this kind of sword qi?" A cultivator said not far away, "It seems the Li family really has a powerful sword cultivator."

"My flying sword is damaged." This cultivator said, "Which sect is so powerful...?"

Before they finished speaking, Li Shiwen's eyes suddenly lit up sharply, and he shouted, "Found you!"

He raised the steel spear in his hand and stabbed it over!

"He does have some skills!" The cultivator laughed. Mortals can also do this by listening to locate the enemy and adding strength and accuracy?

He raised his hand and waved it, bringing out a halo of light that swept away the steel spear.

"But he is still overconfident..." He shook his head.

But at this moment...

Li Shiwen on the other side of the city wall suddenly shouted again: "Take my sword!"

He was seen leaping up from the top of the city wall, holding his hands over his head, grabbing at the void towards this Xuanqin cultivator and slashing down.

As he made the slashing motion, a wisp of purple-black sword qi took shape in his grasped hands. The purple sword qi came out from his hands, reaching as far as the sky. A star lit up in the pitch-black sky.

Li Shiwen slashed down with one sword!

"What?!" The Xuanqin cultivator was shocked and horrified. He hurriedly pushed out both hands, summoning protective spells to block in front of him.

But the sword qi was too sharp. The hastily summoned protection spell was split open, and then he didn't have time to react before being directly split in half by the purple sword qi!

The spear was a feint, and the sword qi was the real blow. Show weakness to the enemy, and kill with one strike!

This is what they called a mortal slaying an immortal...

Li Shiwen fell down from the air, falling into the endless darkness below.

His armor was damaged, his whole body was covered in blood, both enemies' and his own, but he felt no pain or fear.

He thought of his father, mother, wife, children, sister, and felt endless reluctance in his heart, as well as guilt. He failed his parents' expectations as their son, didn't fulfill his duty as a husband, couldn't accompany his children growing up, and wasn't a good brother...

He also thought of the soldiers who died in Hengduan Mountains...

What a failure his life had been!

But luckily, he was finally going to die.

He closed his eyes and waited quietly for the moment he would hit the ground.

But for a long time, he did not feel himself landing...

"Is the city wall so high?" Thinking that he was going to die, his heart lightened up a lot, "But it didn't look so high when Xuanqin attacked the city."

But soon after, he felt that he was not only not falling down, but actually floating up.

He was wondering and about to open his eyes when he first heard a familiar voice: "Enjoying it, aren't you?"

Li Shiyin's voice!

"Shiyin?" He opened his eyes to find himself being carried princess style by Li Shiyin and flying quickly towards the top of the city wall, "Why are you here?"

Li Shiyin didn't answer, just laughed and said, "I knew early on that you have a submissive side. I've caught you red-handed today!"

With full battle armor, Li Shiwen's whole person looked much bigger, making Li Shiyin carrying him look even more absurd in size ratio.

But Li Shiwen didn't care about these things at the moment. He urgently said, "Who let you come here? Hurry up and go!!"

By this time, Li Shiyin had carried him up to the top of the city wall. She roughly threw him to the ground and even kicked him, yelling, "You've been hiding it from me since last year, right?! You already knew there would be a war last year, didn't you? "

Li Shiwen got up from the ground, looked directly at Li Shiyin, and said solemnly, "So what if I didn't hide it from you? Would you have stayed and died too?

"We can die for our country, but the Li family bloodline cannot be cut off, and you can survive."

"Why is it going to your death?" Li Shiyin was very puzzled. She looked at Li Shiwen, "I found out you guys always treat me like a child. You all do this and hide things from me too?"

"You are very capable, I know. But..." Li Shiwen looked up at the dark sky, where fifteen cultivators were slowly revealing themselves in the darkness. There were sixteen originally, but one was killed by Li Shiwen, "Bare hands are no match for many hands. They have sect support and many, many cultivators."

"Are you the cultivator of the Li family?" A Xuanqin cultivator asked coldly, "Did you leave those sword qis?"

Li Shiyin turned around and looked at those cultivators. With her back to Li Shiwen, she shook her head and asked, "It's just these smelly fish and shrimp that scared you like that?"

"Smelly fish and shrimp?" Before Li Shiwen could speak, the Xuanqin cultivator was angered to death, "A tiny Foundation Establishment dare to be so arrogant?"

Li Shiyin looked back at Li Shiwen's unrestrained fear of the Gold Core cultivators on his face. She took out the Qingxing Sword and said, "Little Gold Core cultivator, I'll kill them for you to see."
