Chapter 18: Block the river! Stop the flow! Stop the chaos! Suppress the demon! Late into the night. The energy of the altar in the inner city has reached its final moment. Following the evil spirits in front, they attacked the city like a tide. The originally silent darkness seemed to be aroused, and the evil spirits in the farther distance gathered together. Maybe there is someone behind the scenes who fanned the flames. Perhaps it was simply the evil spirits in the front attacking the city that caused the evil spirits in the back to have evil thoughts of entering the city to plunder incense and devour the people. At the same time, in the southern area of the outer city, the Jiantian Division branch. The young man named Xu Qing had a solemn expression and spoke very quickly. "The evil spirits are coming at us with increasing force and intensity." "Throughout the city, darkness has extinguished seventy-two willow-branch night lamps, symbolizing that seventy-two locations are on the verge of being lost."
"But fortunately, there are additional patrol teams. They are divided into teams of six and have been filling the gaps one by one. The gaps that were broken have now been completely plugged." "As for the demons that crossed the city wall and entered the city, the general flag bearers of each branch of the Heavenly Monitoring Department have sent people to eliminate them." "Six of the city defense positions in the southern area of our outer city were breached, but they were all blocked in time, and no evil spirits broke in, so there was no need to clear them out." After hearing what the young man said, General Han's expression eased a little. Then he looked into the distance again, frowned and asked, "Where is Linjiang Division's location?" He knew that Lin Yan was quite capable and had already joined the inner strengthening. Logically speaking, with twelve small flags guarding the city defenses, the city should be basically safe and worry-free. But this evening, he received news that Lin Yan had kicked out all the twelve small flags. Alone, guarding 360 steps of the city wall! A warrior who has just entered the inner strength realm cannot defend it at all! The situation that Lin Yan is facing now is something he had not expected before. He didn't expect that Lin Yan would directly wipe out the twelve small flags set up by Liang Hu before he could gather his own men. It was not expected that the altar in the inner city would be suddenly and hastily opened tonight. At this moment, General Han was quite regretful, thinking to himself, "If I had known about the inner city altar earlier, I shouldn't have instructed him this morning... He is too straightforward, at least I have to get through tonight before I can change him!" Thinking this in his heart, he looked at Xu Qing. But Xu Qing's expression was complicated and strange. "There is no news about the location of Linjiangsi's city defense." "Ok?" General Han was slightly shocked, and had a bad feeling. He asked, "Before dark, didn't I write a letter to ask the commander-in-chief of Zhaozhou for help?" "The commander-in-chief of Zhaozhou has ordered his adopted son Zhao Jing to bring 20 people to help, but no news has been sent back yet." "Where's the patrol team?"
"The two teams, a total of twelve people, disappeared before entering the defense range of Linjiang Division." Is this the ominous thing that comes from trampling on the rules of darkness? General Han felt depressed, and then he took a deep breath: "Add more personnel to Linjiangfang. As for the city defense position of Linjiangsi..." He paused and said in a deep voice: "Go and invite Lord Lu in my name." But Xu Qing hesitated and whispered: "Actually... for the time being, it doesn't seem that bad." "Oh?" "According to the current situation, the city defense position of Linjiangsi has not been lost. At least, no monsters or evil spirits have entered Linjiangfang at the moment." "Not lost?" General Han was stunned. For a moment, he actually felt a little stunned. But I always feel like something is odd. "Do we still need to ask Mr. Lu for help?" "Pay special attention to the defense position of Linjiangsi City. If there are any changes, please contact Lord Lu." As Han, the flag envoy, said this, his eyes gradually became solemn, and he thought to himself: "This guy cleared out the twelve small flags, maybe not recklessly... but, does he have the ability to defend these 360 steps alone?" - "The lights are out over there!" Lin Yan killed an evil spirit and suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and looked towards a place not far away. That place was not within the city defense area of his Linjiang Division. But there should have been a willow night light there. But when I looked around, there was only darkness, no light in sight. His expression changed slightly, and he strode forward, with the smell of blood hitting his face. I saw a young man in a night watchman's black robe lying on the ground, his face hideous and blood gushing from all his orifices. Taking another half step forward, Lin Yan saw that the young man's chest had been opened and his internal organs had been eaten out. Lin Yan recognized this young man. His name was Zhou Ji. He was from Linjiangfang, three streets away from his home. They had played together several times when they were young. Two years ago, he joined the government office in the southern part of the outer city and was transferred to Wangjiangfang, where he served as a night patrolman, which was considered a successful career. I didn't expect to end up here today. Lin Yan just took a quick glance with a solemn expression, turned his head and saw a small animal like a civet cat had jumped over the city wall and rushed into Linjiangfang. They were at least four hundred steps away. "Don't chase!"
At this moment, another person walked quickly out of the darkness. The man was wearing armor and walking quickly. He said in a very fast tone: "I will take this position. You go back to your own city defense position." He relit the willow branch night lamp and shouted, "If we pursue them, you will abandon your city defense position. Who knows how many demons will take the opportunity to break in." "This is not your city defense area. If the evil spirits break in from here, even if we hold them responsible, it has nothing to do with you!" "There are people in the city responsible for the cleanup. Go back quickly and do not leave your post without permission!" The man quickly spoke up and said in a deep voice: "I am here to help you on the orders of the commander-in-chief. I will not allow any mistakes to happen on your side!" Lin Yan had no expression on his face and did not reply. The little demon had already approached the nearest street. If we don't pursue him, this little demon will enter Linjiangfang and cause a bloody storm. Of course, as long as his city defense position is not lost, he cannot be held responsible afterwards. But at this moment, there was a whoosh! Lin Yan has raised the crossbow! This specially made crossbow arrow from Qifeng City flew over four hundred steps and nailed the little beast to the ground. It's just a matter of one arrow and it's over! What's the point of abandoning the defense and pursuing? "you……" Seeing this, the man was stunned. He was about to continue speaking, but he saw the flag bearer, Wuchang, turn around and leave with an expressionless face. "Guard this position!" Lin Yan left a word and turned around to defend his own area. But at this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from behind. That's the sound of a blade cutting through the night sky! The knife came too quickly! The sword's power is so fierce and powerful! "That's it!" The man's face was solemn, his muscles bulged, and he chopped down with a knife! He considered himself to be a top figure in the inner strength realm, and with this fierce blow, he would cut anyone in half with one blow! Even a warrior at the peak of his powers like General Zhaozhou would be chopped in two unless he was wearing armor! But only a clang sound was heard! The atmosphere in the field seemed to become silent. The night wind blew past, and the chill made people shiver. When the sword was chopped down, the newly appointed flag-bearer of Linjiangfang did not turn his head or turn his body. He just used his left hand to push the scabbard at his waist back. He casually put the scabbard behind his back.
Then... blocked the blade coming from behind. With just a casual move, he blocked the powerful sword! "..." In an instant, Zhao Jing's face suddenly turned pale, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Refining Essence Realm?" In an instant, the knife flashed! Its protective armor is as fragile as a piece of paper! Blood splattered and intestines were scattered all over the ground! It turned out that Lin Yan swung his knife back and cut it in half! Then Zhao Jing let out a scream, and his upper body clung to the city wall and fell down. Half of his body fell below the city wall and was swallowed by the darkness. Lin Yan took a look and his expression became even gloomier. The original intention was to capture him alive and interrogate his motives. But he thought of one thing. So he just killed him. Because there was no time to press the issue. He looked in the direction where Zhao Jing came from. The wind blew over, and the smell of blood drifted over from there. Lin Yan's heart suddenly sank. He was at the Refining Essence stage, so the opponent failed. But along the way, how many people have reached the realm of refining essence? How many more people have been killed? The defensive position of the dead person must have been lost! Inside the city is Linjiangfang where he grew up, and his neighbors, old friends, relatives and friends all live here. Linjiangfang is also within the scope of his current duties. He looked back in the direction behind him. The 360 steps that Linjiang Division was responsible for defending had been suppressed by his twelve paper figures. But in the front, I don’t know how many positions have been lost! If the range exceeds a thousand steps, even with a physique at the Refining Essence Realm, running back and forth, slaying monsters and defending the city will most likely exhaust one's strength and he won't be able to hold on for long! "Magic power! Demon-suppressing!" Lin Yan held a knife and walked forward. The front is vast and I don’t know how far it is. All the willow branch night lights along the way were extinguished without exception! The darkness spread like a tsunami, sweeping over the city walls and invading the city! He walked straight into the darkness with a knife in hand! This trip is to block the river, stop the flow, stop the chaos, and suppress the devil! (End of this chapter)
