The mysterious world: Start working hard from the beggar camp!

Chapter 558: Li Zicheng's decisiveness, the Xu family suffered a backlash

"It's over!"

"I never thought that I, Li Zicheng, would have gone through so much hardship and planning to get to this point, but it would end like this?"

Li Zicheng stood on the city wall of Guangzhou, looking at the city that had just been forcibly breached by a group of tens of millions of two-horned gorilla monsters, and he felt like crying but had no tears.

This largest city in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions was captured by him half a month ago with three million elite soldiers.

He was originally feeling complacent, but after capturing this huge city, he immediately ordered his soldiers to plunder the wealth and treasures of the dignitaries and gentry in the city, and began to do his best to strengthen the city's defense capabilities.

However, without the Ming Dynasty's national destiny as an energy source to activate the city defense formation, who in the world today, except Li Dingguo, can build a qualified large-scale protective formation in a short period of time?

What terrified him the most was that, under the influence of the original rules of heaven and earth, this group of two-horned king kong pigs that came to attack Guangzhou City was one of the top monster groups with extremely strong combat effectiveness in the South Guangdong region.

Although their number is only around tens of millions, their physical defense is very strong.

In addition, they are violent and barbaric by nature, and are one of the most untouchable ethnic groups in the southern part of China.

Among them, there were more than a hundred level six pig kings, who directly withstood the concentrated fire attacks of the rebel soldiers and led a large number of King Kong pig monsters to rush onto the four-sided city walls, causing the Guangzhou city guarded by King Chuang’s army to be breached in an instant!

Although Li Zicheng has his own divine weapon and can deal with a few level six pig kings, can he fight against ten or twenty of them?

Especially this group of two-horned Vajra Pigs. The Demon King and his wife, who have reached the peak level six cultivation, are commanding the attacks respectively. Even if Li Zicheng leads his Qi Refining Realm generals to attack together, they cannot be their enemy.

This round of war to eliminate cultivators from all races had just begun, and their lair was breached so quickly. How could Li Zicheng not be filled with shock and anger, and curse loudly!
"King Chuang, we can't hold on any longer!"

Liu Zongmin was knocked flying by a level six mid-stage King Kong Pig King. He immediately vomited blood and had suffered serious internal injuries.

He could only take shelter temporarily, and flew back to Li Zicheng's side, saying to him hastily, "All the elite troops of our rebel army are now in this Guangzhou city. This time it's really over!"

Never before had the rebel army been so close to being annihilated.

And it seems there is no hope of a comeback!
This is only the first wave of monster attacks, and we can't hold on any longer. How can we survive this catastrophe?

"According to historical records, the once-in-a-century war to eliminate all races of cultivators cannot be so cruel!"

"What exactly happened in this world right now?"

Li Zicheng screamed in despair, "The catastrophe of heaven and earth has just begun, and our rebel army has been eliminated. God is so unfair!"

He didn't even think about the fact that his rebel army had always been a group of bandits, surviving by wandering around. How could they know the importance of a solid base?
Moreover, in this vast world, mankind’s trump card is various powerful formations, which are the foundation for mankind to gain a foothold in the world.

Li Zicheng's men were extremely short of talent in this area, so it was naturally difficult for them to survive this enhanced version of the catastrophe between heaven and earth.

If he knew that Li Dingguo was in Luoyang City and had faced three rounds of attacks from more than 10 billion monsters, he probably wouldn't have thought so.

In terms of the quantity and quality of monsters and demons attacking Luoyang City, it is far from comparable to Guangzhou City, at least a hundred times different.

At this time, more than a dozen level six King Kong Pigs flew towards Li Zicheng at high speed, roaring, which scared him.

He was filled with rage and shouted to Liu Zongmin, Li Guo and others beside him, "Most of our soldiers are going to be finished this time!"

"Everyone, lead a team of elite soldiers and evacuate this city immediately. Do what you can and take as much as you can!"

"We must preserve our strength as much as possible. After we leave Guangzhou, we will wait until this great catastrophe is over before we try to make a comeback!"

He is ambitious and is not the kind of person who would easily give up the struggle for hegemony in troubled times.

As long as there is still hope, he will never give in and be completely eliminated.

Now, almost all the practitioners in the entire Guangzhou city were besieged by those fierce and violent giant pig monsters, and they were defeated in the blink of an eye.

In this situation, if we don’t leave now, we will never be able to leave.

"I will obey your order!"...

Everyone also knows that this is a life-and-death situation. Even if they delay for a moment, the casualties of their own soldiers will increase a lot.

Even though he couldn't defend the city that had just become his home, was it still impossible for him to lead his troops to escape?
As for those ordinary soldiers and civilians and soldiers who are not the core of the team, just give up.

Although it is a bit of a pity, among the nine provinces of China, there is not much else but a large population.

As long as their core generals and elite troops are still there, after this round of elimination war of practitioners from all races is over, they can spend some time to build a large-scale team again.

Including Li Ziben himself, everyone immediately dispersed and moved as quickly as possible. They each found the core soldiers they had led before, formed military formations, and began to break out of the city.

These rebels were used to being bandits, and what they were best at was running away and escaping for their lives.

Although they could not defeat this group of double-horned gorillas numbering over tens of millions, it was not a problem for them to break out of the enemy's encirclement by forming a formation.

After all, the number of this top-level demon beast tribe is only tens of millions, not hundreds of millions.

In addition, these monsters will not form battle formations to contend with the enemy's military formations, so as long as Li Zicheng and others concentrate on leading their core soldiers to form a battle formation and escape, they can still successfully break out of the encirclement of the King Kong Pigs.

About a quarter of an hour later, Li Zicheng and other rebel leaders, each with a core group of about 10,000 men, broke out of the city and quickly disappeared into the wilderness outside the city. The huge Guangzhou city was soon overwhelmed by monsters!
These violent and aggressive pig monsters had their minds greatly affected by the evil spirit of heaven and earth. They launched indiscriminate attacks and killings against all the practitioners in the city.

Fortunately, although they had little rationality left, they did not deliberately attack ordinary people.

It's not that these monsters are kind-hearted. It's just that no matter how many ordinary humans they eat, it will not benefit them at all. Instead, it will increase the impurities in their bodies and affect the improvement of their own cultivation. It is completely unnecessary.

Another hour later, the entire huge city of Guangzhou was swept by tens of millions of King Kong pigs.

With the monster's keen sense of smell, almost all the practitioners in the city were slaughtered and eaten.

It’s not that there are no practitioners in the city who can escape, but the number is almost negligible.

Although these monsters would not target ordinary people, millions of people were affected by the battle and died.

As this huge group of monsters quickly left, the huge city of Guangzhou was almost reduced to ruins, leaving the hundreds of millions of ordinary people who survived in tears.

No matter what, trying hard to survive is the reality they have to face.

……

The old house of the Xu family in Changxing, Huzhou.

At this time, the Xu family mansion was in a state of panic. Since the real head of the family, Xu Bengao, and Hou Fangyu, who came to invite them, went north together to do something important, two months had passed and they still hadn't returned.

The head of the family, Xu Nianzu, whose blood and destiny are closely connected with Xu Bengao and his son, suddenly felt a panic yesterday. Then he clearly felt that the Xu family's strong destiny, which had been accumulated for thousands of years, began to dissipate rapidly!

Suffering from the backlash of his good luck, he immediately raised his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was seriously injured.

"The Xu family's sacred artifact is lost?"

"Did your father die as well?"

As the head of the family, Xu Nianzu is certainly not stupid.

Such obvious signs indicate that there is only one result: Father Xu Bengao took the clan's artifact, the Haotian Tower, to the north, but not only did he die, but the Haotian Tower, a top-level innate artifact, also fell into the hands of the enemy, and the enemy even eliminated the imprint of Xu Bengao's spiritual thoughts and blood essence left in it!

Only in this way can the current situation be explained clearly.

The Xu family has lost both its sacred artifact and its powerful members. This is absolutely the end of the world for the Xu family!

The Xu family, which has officially torn its relations with the Southern Ming Dynasty, has no way out!

Not to mention Li Dingguo's Fuxing Army, which has always adopted the strategy of annihilating all the wealthy and unkind families like them!
Now is the time when all races are undergoing a great elimination. Unless the Xu family is willing to give up all their industries and bases and make up their minds to flee far away, they will have a chance to avoid being liquidated by Li Dingguo or Emperor Chongzhen.

But for these deeply rooted top families, losing all their property and land and losing their foundation would be more difficult for them to accept than death.

"Master, why do I feel that the family fortune is rapidly slipping away? And the speed of slipping away is getting faster and faster?"

The clan elder Xu Guangyao looked surprised and doubtful, and kept asking Xu Nianzu questions.

As one of the only few level six warriors in the family, he could naturally sense the continuous loss of the family's fortune.

But the Xu family has a clan artifact that suppresses the clan's fortune. Under normal circumstances, this kind of situation should not happen.

He is nearly 180 years old this year, and he has a lot of life experience. Of course, he knows the reason very well.

"This……"

Xu Nianzu knew that his father had passed away and the clan's sacred artifact had been lost, so he could no longer hide it. He simply said to everyone around him, "If my estimate is correct, my father and Master Hou have been killed, and they even lost their life-saving sacred artifacts."

As for why he didn't suspect Hou Fangyu was setting up a trap to frame Xu Bengao?
Ha ha……

It’s not that Xu Nianzu underestimated Hou Fangyu.

Compared to his father Xu Bengao, Hou Fangyu was just a young man just starting out. How could he possibly outwit Xu Bengao, such a cunning old man?

According to Xu Nianzu's guess, his father Xu Bengao was most likely killed by Li Dingguo himself.

With Xu Bengao's ability, it is estimated that in the world today, except for a very few top-level strongmen like Li Dingguo, who have unparalleled deep foundation, only they have the ability to kill Xu Bengao on the spot, and even escape has become a luxury.

After all, Li Dingguo's reputation was gained step by step from obscurity, and it was not just boasting.

"...That's the way it is."

Xu Nianzu brought Hou Fangyu to his father's house and suggested that his father should plot against Li Dingguo and kill him during this great catastrophe. He also explained the reason for the murder and treasure-stealing to the clan elders Xu Guangyao and others, and his words were full of disappointment.

"How could Brother Ben Gao be so careless?"

"Knowing that Li Dingguo's fighting ability and background are terrifying, why did you go and die?"

"If Li Dingguo was so easily tricked, he would not be alive today!"

"Now that our Xu family's sacred artifact has been lost, our clan is rapidly dwindling. What should we do?"

"Master, you must quickly think of a way to lead our Xu family through this disaster!"...

As Xu Nianzu finished speaking, there was a burst of noise at the scene, with people saying all kinds of things.

But without exception, everyone was in a state of panic and completely lost their composure.

"Report!"

At this time, the chief steward and several others flashed into the meeting hall and hurriedly reported, "Master, it's bad! We in Xuzhou are guarding Guangde Prefecture. We just received urgent news that all the towns have fallen!"

"Now, there are countless armies composed of a large number of demons and monsters rushing towards our Huzhou!"

"Not only that, there are already many towns in Huzhou that have been occupied by a large number of demons and monsters, killing and devouring the cultivators in them!"

"If this continues, our Xu family may not even be able to keep Changxing County!"

To be honest, after receiving this series of bad news, the butler couldn't believe it.

However, the news coming from many places was like this, forcing him to believe it!

"How is it possible? This round of the great elimination war of the cultivators of all races has just started for less than a week. Not only has our Xu family lost the entire Guangde Prefecture, but now we may not even be able to keep the old house in Changxing?"

"This... this news can't be fake, right? You know, I just came back from Guangde Prefecture three days ago, how come there has been such a big change in a short time?"

"Master, we have long since dispersed our family's 300,000 white-clothed guards and a thousand elite flying teams in the Qi Refining Realm to various important towns to guard the main towns in various places. Why do you sound like you are vulnerable now?"

"Master, what do you think we should do? We must come up with a solution!"...

This sudden bad news stunned all the core members of the Xu family present.

They cried out in surprise one after another, obviously frightened by the series of bad news today.

Not long ago, the Xu family, which was still dominating the major families in Jiangnan, fell from heaven to the eighteen levels of hell in the blink of an eye. It was simply unbelievable.

Could it be that with the loss of the clan's sacred artifact, the Haotian Tower, the backlash of luck suffered by our Xu family has begun to show its power?

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the Xu family was so unlucky. In just less than a week, more than half of the two states they originally occupied had fallen!

This is more than just bad luck. If it continues like this, I'm afraid even my death and the destruction of my entire clan will be in sight.
