The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

Boom!

Jiang Tiansheng's body developed cracks, just like a broken piece of porcelain.

Strands of sword energy burst forth from these cracks, instantly shattering Jiang Tiansheng's body into boundless blood mist!

"Ancestor..."

Jiang Yue's scalp tingled, his eyes widened in fury, and he roared hysterically.

In front of him!

Their ancestor, Jiang, was killed by an assassin with a single sword strike!

This is different from the fact that Murong Zhi was killed.

Murong Zhi was killed, but he was also staying in the prefectural governor's mansion, so the reinforcements were not quick enough.

But now, right in front of him, he still couldn't figure out why the assassin appeared in the commander's tent, or why he killed Jiang Tiansheng with a single sword strike and then disappeared before his eyes.

Now that Murong Zhi and Jiang Tiansheng have been killed one after another, they are truly leaderless!

If he dies too, then the Chiang family will be completely finished!

Rebellion is a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family!

"Protect me, please protect me..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue was filled with terror and shouted loudly.

One by one, the demons rushed towards Jiang Yue.

Zheng!

A sword light appeared!

"die!"

Chu Xiu seemed to appear out of thin air in front of Jiang Yue, and swung his long sword at Jiang Yue.

"No, you can't kill him..."

Seeing Chu Xiu appear out of thin air once again, Jiang Yue, the Jiang family patriarch at the peak of the third level of the Celestial Realm, was so frightened that he lost his mind. It was as if he had completely forgotten his own strength, or that he knew that even Jiang Tiansheng could not block the sword in Chu Xiu's hand, so he would not be able to block it either!

laugh!

A human head flew up at lightning speed!

This head belongs to Jiang Yue!

Jiang Yue looked down at a headless body that seemed somewhat familiar.

By the time he tried to see clearly, he could no longer see clearly.

"kill!"

Chu Xiu, wielding a long sword, charged towards the demon army.

One man with one sword, he slashed through the entire demon army.

Although these demons had the highest cultivation level, only reaching the Immortal Ascension Realm, their strength was far inferior to Jiang Tiansheng's, and even Jiang Yue's.

With each sword strike, a sword aura, hundreds of feet long, appeared.

Each sword strike caused numerous casualties among the demons.

In reality, without Jiang Tiansheng, the commander who personally trained this demon army, there was no one to command the battle formation. In front of a master like Chu Xiu, they were already as vulnerable as pigs and dogs.

After a cup of tea.

A torch set the entire demon army's camp ablaze.

The blood of the demons seemed to make the fire shine even brighter, illuminating the entire Yuejun County city.

Two large armies arrived outside the demon army's camp. Looking at the camp, which was completely engulfed in flames, the two figures had extremely gloomy expressions.

The two figures were Qin Baichuan, the Commandant of Yongchang County, and Jiang Ruyi, the Garrison Commander of Ailao Pass.

Qin Baichuan is the son-in-law of the Jiang family and is related to the Jiang family by marriage.

Jiang Ruyi, however, was a direct descendant of the Jiang family.

Qin Baichuan commanded 2,500 troops from five prefectures, while Jiang Ruyi commanded 50,000 troops from Yizhou at Ailao Pass.

Since the two of them had joined Murong Zhi in the rebellion, there was no way out for them.

but now……

The Chiang family's true trump card, the demon army, is gone!

Jiang Tiansheng, the patriarch of the Jiang family, is also dead!

You can imagine how incredibly shocked they were.

"Big brother, what should we do next?"

Qin Baichuan was silent for a moment, then looked at Jiang Ruyi and asked.

"Let's go, let's defend the city!"

"Although we don't know who exactly was able to sneak into the county town without alerting anyone and destroy our Jiang family's trump card."

"But Xie Xuan will definitely not let such a great opportunity slip by!"

"Next, Xie Xuan will definitely lead the Beijing garrison to attack us!"

Jiang Ruyi sighed and said coldly, "We only have one path now, and that is to defend the city!"

The longer we persist, the more people will help us!

We were able to take over four prefectures without losing a single soldier, not because they initially pledged allegiance to our Jiang family and the Prince.

It was arranged by certain people!

If we can hold out for a while, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty will be engulfed in flames of war.

"Then the imperial court won't have the resources to deal with us!"

"That's right, elder brother is right!"

"Defend the city!"

Qin Baichuan's eyes hardened, and he said firmly, "As long as we can hold on, we have hope!"

After saying that, the two immediately led their men straight to the city wall.

now.

On the rooftop of a tall building in Yuejun County, Chu Xiu stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Next, it's up to General Xie!"

He's no longer planning to make any further moves.

He single-handedly eliminated the rebel king Murong Zhi, the patriarch of the Jiang family Jiang Tiansheng, and the head of the Jiang family Jiang Yue.

He also single-handedly slaughtered an army of ten thousand demons.

If Xie Xuan can't handle the remaining forces, he, as a deputy general of the Beijing garrison, might as well find a block of tofu and smash his head against it and die.

Living is a waste of food.

After all, nowadays, even a pig could command 100,000 troops of the capital garrison and raze the entire Yuejun County to the ground.

"Congratulations, host, for your persistent efforts in doing positive things. You single-handedly annihilated the entire demon army, killed the Jiang family patriarch Jiang Tiansheng and the Jiang family head Jiang Yue, and have been rewarded with seventy years of ascending immortality power and the peak of the sixth level of the Undying Golden Body Technique."

"Do you want to receive the reward?"

The mechanical voice of the positive energy system rang in Chu Xiu's mind.

"Receive your reward."

A smile appeared on Chu Xiu's face; the reward had arrived!

The words just fell!

A vast and powerful force appeared in Chu Xiu's body, part of which flowed into his dantian and part of which merged into his body to strengthen his physical body.

this moment!

Outside of Yuejun County.

"Reporting to the General, flames have shot into the sky from the city of Yuejun County!"

A captain from the Beijing garrison darted outside the command tent and shouted loudly.

Swish!

Xie Xuan's figure seemed to appear out of thin air outside the command tent.

One after another, figures flashed over.

After all, this one sound had already awakened all the Beijing garrison generals who were resting and recuperating.

Whether it was Xie Xuan or the other generals of the Beijing garrison, everyone was fully armored, clearly having made all the necessary preparations long ago.

Li Jingtian and his group also appeared, their eyes all fixed on the direction of Yuejun County City, where flames were raging.

"Drum roll!"

"Prepare to attack!"

Xie Xuan said in a strong and powerful voice.

"Yes!"

The generals of the Beijing garrison shouted in unison.

Boom, boom, boom...

War drums sounded in the camp, and 100,000 troops of the capital garrison quickly assembled and, under Xie Xuan's leadership, rushed to attack Yuejun County.

Less than a moment.

Xie Xuan had already led an army of 100,000 to the city gate of Yuejun County.

On the city gate, Jiang Ruyi and Qin Baichuan, weapons in hand, stared at Xie Xuan with wary expressions.

The shadow of the famous tree of man!

They naturally couldn't help but feel some fear towards Xie Xuan, the deputy commander of the Beijing garrison known as the "Sword Immortal."

But now they have cut off all their escape routes.

We have no choice but to fight to the death!

"I'm giving you a chance: kneel down, surrender, and await the court's judgment!"

"Otherwise, they will all be killed without mercy!"

Xie Xuan sat upright on a dragon-blood horse, his eyes indifferent as he looked at the rebellious Yizhou soldiers and the troops from various counties of Yizhou on the city wall, and spoke with icy indifference.
