"Get out of the way!"

Xu Chongyuan was knocked away by a force. When he turned his head, he saw a Taiping Captain from the Taiping Division standing where he had just stood, with a monster's claw exposed on his chest.

"No!"

Xu Chongyuan's eyes turned red and he let out a mournful roar.

The Taiping Captain who was in charge of the Taiping Division in Guanzhong grinned, and blood gushed out of his mouth.

He grabbed the claw that pierced his chest, swung the long sword, and with a "swish", pierced his own body and the monster behind him together.

"The Tiger Juguan Taiping Division, Taiping Captain Chen Tongwei, is not a waste."

He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xu Chongyuan rushed forward with a roar, cut off the monster's head with one knife, and hugged the Taiping Captain.

The other person's eyes were wide open, and he was no longer breathing.

"Chen Tongwei, you are awesome!"

Xu Chongyuan's hand swept across his face and made him close his eyes.

Tears couldn't stop flowing, Xu Chongyuan grabbed Chen Tongwei's sword, held the sword with both hands, and fought frantically.

boom!
Just when Xu Chongyuan stabbed the two monsters to death, suddenly a huge force came and knocked him flying backwards.

He saw a third-level monster approaching at some point in time, knocking him away with one blow, and then following him like a shadow, chasing him in the air, and was about to kill him completely.

"Brother Chen, I'm here."

Xu Chongyuan spat out a mouthful of blood and was no longer able to struggle.

At this moment, in the distance, a dust dragon suddenly rose up and countless monsters were knocked away.

Swish!
Xu Chongyuan felt a rope wrapped around his waist, and then he was pulled away with a whoosh.

The speed was so fast that Xu Chongyuan even felt dizzy.

When he came to his senses, he was shocked to find that he was on the back of a monster.

The monster was more than ten feet long, covered with dark green scales and had a single horn on its head. It looked a bit like the legendary dragon.

This "dragon" charged at full speed, and all the monsters that stood in its way had their bones broken and were thrown away.

Even a third-level monster cannot stop it for a moment.

Those fourth-level monsters mixed in with the monster soldiers were dodging.

Xu Chongyuan was dumbfounded.

What's happening here?
Are the monsters fighting among themselves?
Where did this "dragon" come from?
Suddenly, a familiar voice came to Xu Chongyuan's ears.

"To the left! One hundred feet, save people."

Xu Chongyuan looked up blankly.

I saw a man standing on the head of the "dragon" and directing the dragon.

That person's figure is so familiar.

"Su--Junior Brother?"

Xu Chongyuan was extremely shocked.

At this moment, the dragon stuck out its tongue and whooshed another person back.

The man who fell on the back of the "dragon" was actually Zhong Guizheng.

Zhong Guizheng is still alive!

Xu Chongyuan held onto Zhong Guizheng with some surprise. He finally understood how he had flown here just now.

It was actually rolled back by the tongue of this "dragon".

By the way, why does this tongue look familiar?
No way?
Xu Chongyuan felt incredible. Could it be that this "dragon" was the ugly lizard?
But this change is too big.

It's too late, but it's soon.

As Su Mu continued to speak, one Taiping captain after another fell onto the back of the "dragon".

Everyone was covered in wounds, and after surviving the disaster, they all looked a little dazed.

Xu Chongyuan was in a heavy mood. There were more than a dozen people, but now there were only four of them left, except Zhang Wangyue who was still fighting.

Of the brothers who came with Wuling Taiping Division, only he and Zhong Guizheng are left. The Hujuguan Taiping Division suffered even greater casualties, and only two are left out of their dozen people.

"If it weren't for the brothers from the Tiger Pass Taiping Division protecting me, I would have died."

Zhong Guizheng said in a weak voice.

Xu Chongyuan fell silent.

He now regrets what he said before.

Why did he say that the Hujuguan Taipingsi were all rubbish?

In order to refute his words, those brothers tried their best to protect the people from Wuling Taiping Division.

If the number of monsters had not been so great, even if they all died in battle, nothing would have happened to the brothers of the Wuling Taiping Division.

"I owe them my life."

Xu Chongyuan whispered.

"Don't think too much."

The two surviving Taiping officers of the Hujuguan Taiping Division said, "We in the Taiping Division have lived on the edge of a knife and have seen through life and death.

Old Chen and his men also did well, as they fought hard to kill so many monsters."

"Brother, what's going on?"

A Taiping captain said.

"It's Junior Brother Su."

Xu Chongyuan shook his head. He had no idea what was going on.

Why would this terrifyingly powerful "dragon" listen to Junior Brother Su?
"Junior Brother Su?"

The two Taiping officers at the Tiger Pass were stunned for a moment, "Su Mu?"

There was shock on their faces.

Is this the famous Su Mu?

I thought the rumors were outrageous enough, but now it seems that the rumors underestimated him.

"Ao Qing, let's go!"

An angry roar came from behind the demon soldiers.

A wild bull over ten feet tall rushed over.

He is the general of the Demon Court, a fifth-level monster.

Su Mu knew when to stop and shouted loudly.

The "Jiaolong" Ao Qing swung his tail and ran quickly using his four limbs and claws.

boom!
It knocked away countless monsters and rushed to Zhang Wangyue, who was covered in blood.

Zhang Wangyue was startled and was about to attack when he heard a voice.

"This pacification envoy, we are one of you, come up!"

Su Mu said to Zhang Wangyue.

Zhang Wangyue was completely stunned and froze in place.

Su Mu showed helplessness on his face.

"Ao Qing!"

"Jiaolong" Ao Qing rolled his tongue, threw Zhang Wangyue on his back, and continued to run forward.

It looked back at the charging Barbarian Bull General with disdain in its eyes.

What's the matter? I have provoked the Demon Court. What can you do to me?
It's true that we are all fifth-level monsters now. Soon, I will be able to transform into a dragon and become a sixth-level monster.

In a few years, I will be a real dragon, and the mere demon court can be destroyed with just a flick of my hand.

I fear you?

With my human pet providing me with a constant supply of blood food containing dragon power, I am not afraid of anything!
Whoever dares to harm my blood food will be my, Ao Qing’s, enemy, and we will fight to the death!

Ao Qing is a very nice name.

It can provide blood food and give me a name, how great.

Ao Qing shook his head and tail, and soon shook off the army of the Demon Court and rushed to the top of the Huju Pass city wall.

This scene made the defenders on the top of the Tiger Pass dumbfounded.

"Quick, shoot the arrow!"

Shao Santong was also dumbfounded. What was going on?
He originally wanted to wait until Zhang Wangyue and his men were killed in the battle, and then use the excuse of going out of the city to rescue and open the city gate.

How come a traitor appeared in the Demon Court before he could even make a move?

Not only did it rescue Zhang Wangyue and others, it also headed towards Huju Pass?
The defenders were already confused, but it was always a good idea to kill the monster.

They also didn't know whether Zhang Wangyue and the others were held hostage by monsters.
Zheng!
The sound of bowstrings rang out, and dense arrows fell from the sky.

"Junior Brother Su, that's Shao Santong!"

Xu Chongyuan shouted loudly.

"Ao Qing!"

Su Mu let out a long howl.

The "Jiaolong" Ao Qing opened his mouth, and with a roar, his tongue turned into a long whip, and with a swish, it shot down all the arrows in the sky.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Su Mu suddenly jumped high and rushed towards the wall of Huju Pass.

Swish!
The moment he jumped up, the Thunder Blade at his waist was already unsheathed.

The bright knife light drew a perfect parabola.

Zhang Wangyue and his companions, including the people on the city wall, and even the monsters in the distance were all stunned.

Shao Santong couldn't even help but burst out laughing.

"Is he a fool? Does he think that he can split the wall of Huju Pass with this one blow?"

Shao Santong taunted.

How strong is the wall of Huju Pass?

Even if a fifth-level monster attacked with all its strength, it might not be able to damage the city wall at all.

As for flying to the top of the city wall, that is even more impossible.

The walls of Huju Pass are dozens of feet high, making it difficult for birds to cross.

How could a mere Taiping lieutenant, who couldn't even fly, possibly climb to the top of the city wall?
When a warrior's cultivation reaches a certain level, he can indeed fly.

But that level is a certain level, the lowest being the Nascent Soul stage.

In the Daxuan Taiping Division, apart from a few Taiping Marquises, there are only a few senior commanders who have the ability to do so.

No matter which one it is, it is impossible for him to be a small Taiping lieutenant.

Isn't this just a monkey show for him?

Shao Santong laughed so much that he couldn't laugh anymore.

He saw the Taiping captain jump to the highest point, and then his body began to fall uncontrollably.

At this moment, a tongue appeared under his feet.

Snapped!
With a crisp sound, the tongue whipped the soles of the Taiping captain's feet like a long whip.

Captain Taiping, who had already started to fall, rose into the air again, his speed increased rapidly, and in an instant he had reached the top of the city wall.

Before the smile on Shao Santong's face completely disappeared, a flash of knife light had already appeared in front of him.

"Be bold!"

Shao Santong was furious.

Although no one knows how this Taiping Captain controlled the "dragon" monster, he is still the Taiping Captain after all.

He, Shao Santong, is a warrior in the Zhenyuan realm.

As everyone knows, the Taiping Captain is only at the rebirth stage.

How dare a Taiping captain who has reached the Transformation Realm attack him?

He is simply asking for death!
It's too late, but it's soon.

Shao Santong swung his knife fiercely, and the blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound.

Ding!
The long swords of both sides collided with each other, and visible waves of energy spread out.

Shao Santong's face suddenly changed.

The huge force surging from his arms made him involuntarily take a half step back.

This kind of power cannot possibly be the realm of rebirth!

"No, I was fooled!"

At this moment, Shao Santong suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind.

He subconsciously turned around and slashed with his knife, a look of surprise on his face.

A Taiping captain who looked exactly like him was chopped away by his sword and fell from the top of the city wall.

Although he chopped the opponent away, he was still stunned by this scene.

When he subconsciously wanted to turn around to confirm, suddenly, a knife was placed on his neck.

It sounds complicated, but in the eyes of others, everything happened in a flash.

Even the inspectors of the Supervisory Office did not have time to support Shao Santong.

In the eyes of everyone, it was just a Taiping captain who climbed up to the top of the city wall in an incredible way and then had a sword fight with Shao Santong.

Almost at the same time, another him flashed out of his body and attacked Shao Santong from behind.

Shao Santong turned around and chopped the other one off the city wall with a knife. Then the first one took advantage of the situation and approached Shao Santong and put the knife across Shao Santong's neck.

By the time everyone reacted, Shao Santong had already fallen into the hands of the Taiping Captain.

Shao Santong, a fourth-rank inspector of Zhenyuan Realm, was abducted in public.

At the foot of the city wall, the "Jiaolong" Ao Qing swallowed the falling "Su Mu" with a roar, with a satisfied expression on his face, and even began to emit a faint green light.

"Ao Qing, send the person up."

Su Mu said lightly.

"Jiaolong" Ao Qing rolled his tongue.

Zhang Wangyue, Xu Chongyuan and others were thrown out directly. By the time they reacted, they were already on the top of the Huju Pass city wall.

For so many days, they have been trying to find a way to return to Huju Pass, but because of Shao Santong's obstruction, they were only injured but could not set foot into Huju Pass.

Now, they are back on the city wall so easily?

"Pacifier, please stop standing there."

Su Mu looked at Zhang Wangyue who was standing there stupidly, and was speechless about the pacification envoy's ability to respond.

"Take over the city defense and meet the enemy."

Su Mu said.

"you--"

At this time, the inspectors of the Supervisory Department also reacted, "Let Master Shao go!"

they shouted loudly.

"If you don't want him to die, get out of here."

Su Mu said coldly, exerting a little force with his hand, the blade had already cut through Shao Santong's skin, and a line of blood appeared on his neck.

The inspectors were startled and quickly stepped back.

"Is the Taiping Division going to rebel? You'd better let me go now, otherwise——"

Shao Santong shouted.

Snapped!
Su Mu slapped him in the face with his backhand.

"Sir, if you are still in a daze, the demon soldiers from the Demon Court will attack the city walls."

Su Mu ignored Shao Santong and looked at Zhang Wangyue.

Zhang Wangyue finally came to his senses and his old face turned red.

"Everyone listen up, prepare your crossbows! Activate the city defense formation!"

Zhang Wangyue shouted, "All of you, go and get Commander Yang and General Qian right away!"

Without the interference of the Supervisory Office, the border guards on the city wall quickly moved.

From the direction of the city, the Taiping Captain dressed in brocade and black shirt soon appeared and ran towards the city wall.

Below the city, the "dragon" Ao Qing let out an earth-shattering roar.

The army of the Demon Court began to attack the city.

When a barrage of crossbow arrows fell from the top of the Huju Pass city wall, Yang Changfeng, the commander of the Huju Pass Taiping Division, and Qian Yunshan, the injured general of the border defense army, finally arrived at the top of the city wall.

They saw Shao Santong being held hostage by Su Mu at a glance.

"Who are you? Why are you holding the Inspector hostage? Let him go!"

Qian Yunshan pointed at Su Mu and shouted.

"General of Tiger Pass."

Su Mu glanced at the other person and recognized his identity from his clothes. He said coldly, "You are suspected of colluding with the demon court. If you dare to say another word, I will kill you immediately.

Now I give you a chance to make amends. If you hold on to Huju Pass, you will survive.

If you can’t hold on, you’ll die.”
