Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

Zhao Zimo held the long sword tightly in one hand and wrapped his other arm around Lu Yuguan's waist, using his remaining strength to fight his way out of the encirclement.

He rushed left and right in the crowd, and every flash of his blade brought up a puff of blood.

But the Qin army was too numerous, with layers upon layers of troops, and there was no end to it.

"How dare you come back!?"

Li Mou caught a glimpse of that familiar figure, and was filled with anger and heartache. "All troops, listen to my orders! Protect the little prince, at all costs, and help him break through!"

The sounds of shouting, weapons clashing, and screams mixed together and hit Lu Yuguan's eardrums.

He was held tightly in Zhao Zimo's arms, his cheek pressed against the cold breastplate, and he could feel the other's disordered breathing.

Memories came flooding back.

Once upon a time, in the Wei Imperial Palace, facing the demon cultivator Ji Xian, that determined figure came to save him regardless of everything...

"Zimo!"

Lu Yuguan shouted out loud.

Zhao Zimo did not respond, all his energy was used in blocking.

However, facing countless enemies, Zhao Zimo's wounds increased and his movements slowed down.

Boom! ——

Finally, his body swayed, blood spurted out of his mouth, and he could no longer hold on.

"Zimo!"

Li Mou roared and led the last few soldiers to charge forward, using their bodies to form a wall of flesh to block the two men.

"go!"

Li Mou, without even turning his head, yelled at Lu Yuguan, "Take him away! Quick!"

Lu Yuguan’s teeth were almost broken.

He knew that this was an opportunity that Li Mou had bought with his life.

Lu Yuguan suddenly found strength from nowhere, lifted up Zhao Zimo, dragged him onto the ownerless warhorse nearby, shook the reins, and rushed towards the gap in the battlefield.

"drive!!!"

Lu Yuguan whipped his horse desperately, the wind whistling in his ears, and countless Qin soldiers were behind him.

He didn't know where to go.

I just knew I had to escape.

"Chase!"

Wang Jian's face was stern and he immediately gave the order.

A team of Qin cavalry came out in response, led by Li Daniu with a grim smile on his face.

"damn thing……"

"When I catch you, I will torture you to death!"

*

Passing by the river.

The warhorse finally ran out of strength, its front hooves gave way, and it fell to the ground with a mournful cry, throwing them out violently.

Boom!

Lu Yuguan fell heavily to the ground. He ignored the pain and quickly crawled to Zhao Zimo's side.

"Zimo...Zimo..."

The man's clothes and armor were soaked in blood and he was unconscious.

"Hurry up... Zimo, get up..."

Lu Yuguan's voice was filled with tears.

The cold river water soaked his clothes, but Lu Yuguan was completely unaware. He only cared about Zhao Zimo, who was dying in his arms.

"Zimo... Zimo... wake up..."

He tried to cover Zhao Zimo's wound, but the bleeding could not be stopped.

"Cough cough..."

Zhao Zimo's eyelids trembled slightly, and he barely opened his eyes.

Looking at Lu Yuguan's tear-stained face, he wanted to raise his hand to wipe it, but found that he had no strength.

“…Yuguan…”

"I'm here!"

Lu Yuguan hurriedly leaned over and held the other person's hand tightly.

Zhao Zimo shook his head weakly, a gentle smile on his face: "Don't waste your energy... I... can't survive..."

"No...you won't die!"

Lu Yuguan choked and tears fell on Zhao Zimo's cheeks.

"Thank you...Yuguan..."

Zhao Zimo said intermittently, "Although... I can't remember who you are... but I believe... everything you said is true..."

He took a breath, his thoughts drifting away, "I don't regret... saving you... it's just a pity..."

"What's a pity?"

Lu Yuguan's heart tightened.

Zhao Zimo looked at him, his breath weak: "What a pity... this life is too short..."

He paused, then used up his last bit of strength to speak clearly, "In my next life... I will definitely find you soon... As promised... I will take you home..."

"Then...I'll marry you..."

Lu Yuguan could no longer suppress his emotions.

Tears burst out like a dam.

He nodded desperately, his throat was blocked and sour, and he couldn't say a word.

Zhao Zimo looked at the crying boy and tried to raise the corners of his mouth, as if wanting to give him some comfort.

"Yuguan..."

"I'm here."

Lu Yuguan hurriedly moved closer.

The man's voice was as thin as a mosquito, almost with only his last breath left: "Come closer... I... have another... wish..."

Lu Yuguan leaned close to his lips, tears blurring her vision.

"I like you."

next moment.

A light kiss on the cheek.

The moment the kiss fell, the last glimmer of light in Zhao Zimo's eyes went out.

The world stops at this moment.

The river water flows coldly.

Reflecting Lu Yuguan's grief that made him unable to cry out loud.

“Zimo…?”

he called softly.

no respond.

The sound of the pursuing soldiers' horses' hooves could be heard faintly from a distance, like the beat of a death drum, breaking the dead silence.

Li Daniu led the pursuers to the riverbank and surrounded them.

"Run!"

"Why don't you run away?"

Li Daniu was riding on his horse, looking down at the two of them with a playful look on his face.

"Boy, who can save you this time?"

"Wait until I chop off your hands and feet, then I'll have some fun with you!!!"

Lu Yuguan hugged Zhao Zimo tightly, his heart was dead and despair was drowning him like a river.

Just as Li Daniu raised his knife, several black shadows rushed into the field and separated the Qin army.

"who!"

"How dare you ruin my good deeds!?"

Li Daniu shouted angrily.

The leader was dressed in black, his face hidden under a hood, revealing only a pair of emotionless eyes.

The black-clad leader pointed at Lu Yuguan and said in a cold voice, "This man is the one His Majesty the Spiritual King wants to see. Anyone who hurts him will die."

Li Daniu's hand froze in mid-air, and he was suddenly horrified: "Your Highness the Spiritual King? ... This... Sir, this person is a spy from the Zhao army..."

"How can we doubt the Spirit King's intention?"

The black-clad leader interrupted him, his tone brooking no room for rebuttal: "I've taken the man away."

After saying that, he didn't give anyone time to react.

Two dark shadows stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, holding up Lu Yuguan, and quickly disappeared into the forest.

"Oh shit!"

Seeing the duck that was about to be caught flew away, Li Daniu was so angry that he vomited blood, but he did not dare to offend the little Ling King.

He was filled with rage as he looked at the unconscious Zhao Zimo on the ground and said with a sinister grin, "That's good! Even if we can't catch that pretty boy, capturing the last bloodline of the Zhao royal family is still a great achievement!"

"Come here, tie him up!"

The Qin soldiers stepped forward in response.

However, just as they were about to touch Zhao Zimo, something strange happened!

"Ouch!——"

A howl suddenly sounded.

Li Daniu shouted: "What's going on?"

But then a black shadow pounced towards everyone, it turned out to be a pitch-black cat!

"what?!"

"my eyes!"

"what!!!"

……

Screams came and went.

Li Daniu was furious: "Damn it, I can't even beat a beast, I'll do it!"

Just as he was about to exert force, a light figure rushed out with an angry face.

"How dare you force our Zimo into this!"

"My aunt is really angry!"

"Suffer to death!"
