The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 192
Chapter 192 Take Advantage of the Victory to Pursue
As the enemy collapsed and fled for their lives, Jiang Yuan City naturally wouldn’t let such a good opportunity slip by. The city gate suddenly opened and a large group of people rushed out from within. Their momentum was like a rainbow as they began to chase after the fleeing enemy.
With the help of the martial practitioners in Jiangyuan City, Li Qing and City Lord Su instantly became like tigers adding wings, and their killing and harvesting speed became much faster.
In fact, no matter how powerful Li Qing and City Lord Su were, killing off so many enemies was not something that could be accomplished in a short period of time.
After all, even if it was 5,000 wooden stakes that wouldn’t move, it wouldn’t be easy to break them one by one, let alone 5,000 people who would flee for their lives. He had to kill them until they were soft-hearted.
To annihilate all the enemies, they still needed to rely on the city guards. With more people, the speed of killing the enemy became much faster.
As for the enemy, they had already been frightened out of their wits by the two great Xiantian experts. There was no need for them to resist. They had lost their armor and were all focused on fleeing for their lives. It was as if they were running like wolves, in a mess, without any formation, all of them only hated themselves for not escaping fast enough, not even daring to look back.
As a result, a strange scene appeared. A large number of enemy martial artists were fleeing densely. They were actually being chased by less than a thousand Jiangyuan City guards, like a lion chasing a flock of sheep.
Li Qing and City Lord Su took the lead, running through the battlefield without anyone being able to stop them. They led the martial artists of Jiangyuan City and continuously harvested the enemy’s heads.
Thousands of kilometers of pursuit, relentless pursuit!
Enemies fell one after another. The number of enemies in front of them was getting fewer and fewer, and they were being chased and killed by the people behind them.
He didn’t know how long he had killed her like this, but he chased her until it was dark before finally ending the battle.
On the battlefield, there was a scorched earth filled with corpses, lying on the ground, blood staining the entire land red.
Under the setting sun, the surrounding clouds were dyed bloody.
It was destined to be a sleepless night.
Jiang Yuan City’s people returned full of laughter and joy. The city gates opened wide, and countless people cheered, welcoming the heroes of Jiangyuan City back.
The logistical units walked out one after another and began to clean up the battlefield and pack up the spoils of war.
According to the statistics, out of the five thousand elite martial artists of the enemy, more than two thousand people had been killed. More than a thousand people had been captured, and more than a thousand had fled back.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the spoils of war were very rich. Of course, the most plentiful were armor and weapons. All of them were high-quality equipment. In addition, all the wealth carried by the martial artists were gathered and piled up like mountains.
After this war, Jiang Yuan City not only repelled the allied forces of the five great forces, but also gained a large amount of war wealth and strength.
It could be predicted that after this incident, no one in this border region would dare to underestimate Jiangyuan City and establish unparalleled prestige.
However, this matter was far from over.
At the foot of the city wall, Li Qing and City Lord Su stood there. In front of them lay a group of injured Xiantian experts.
It wasn’t that these Xiantian experts didn’t want to escape, but they were all seriously injured by Li Qing. They all fell to the ground and lay on the ground like dead dogs, waiting for their miserable fate.
Their injuries were very serious, and Li Qing’s attack at that time was really not light. In fact, if it weren’t for the strong vitality of the Xiantian experts, they would probably have died long ago and wouldn’t have been able to last until now.
City Lord Su looked at these Xiantian experts. His eyes were filled with indifference. As the saying goes, the world was unpredictable. Not long ago, these people were all clamoring in front of him, but now, they had already fallen to such a state. The difference was truly too great for one to adapt to for the time being.
City Lord Su turned around and asked, “What should we do with these Xiantian experts?”
Li Qing glanced around and said indifferently, “The Xiantian experts of the five great powers are basically already here, right?”
“That’s right. Apart from City Lord Wanqing and City Lord Baifu who escaped, everyone else is already here.” City Lord Su nodded.
“Since that’s the case, then there’s nothing to worry about. Kill them all to prevent future troubles.” Li Qing said coldly.
As if he had inherited the character of the Demon Ancestor, Li Qing became even more decisive. So many Xiantian experts said that killing was like squeezing a few ants to death.
The Xiantian expert lying on the ground couldn’t help but change his expression. He angrily scolded, “You’re so ruthless! Sooner or later, you’ll get your revenge!”
‘”Isn’t this a bit wasteful” City Lord Su hesitated for a moment. “They are at least Xiantian experts. They are a powerful force. How about subduing them and turning them into their own?”
Jiang Yuan City was still too weak, relying solely on Li Qing and City Lord Su, it was inevitable that they would lose sight of one thing and lose sight of the other. If there were a few more Xiantian experts, the situation would be much better.
City Lord Yu Tian was originally lying on the ground, half dead, but when he heard this, his spirits immediately lifted and he shouted, “I am willing to surrender! I am willing to surrender!”
Li Qing shook his head, “If we keep them, there will definitely be future troubles. You can handle it yourself.”
City Lord Su’s gaze swept over, clearly hesitating, not knowing whether to kill him or not.
When the Xiantian experts lying on the ground saw that there seemed to be hope for survival, their spirits immediately surged. They hurriedly shouted, “Don’t kill me! I’m willing to surrender! From now on, there’s no doubt that I won’t betray you!”
In the face of life and death, even Xiantian experts were no different from ordinary people, completely abandoning their dignity.
“Such a greedy person, what’s the use of keeping him alive!” City Lord Su looked at these people with disdain. He felt that Li Qing was right. Keeping them was also a disaster. It would be better to kill them directly.
Unexpectedly, these people were eager to beg for mercy. Not only did they not save them, they even harmed them.
City Lord Su no longer hesitated, pulled out his sword and slashed down. Blood splashed everywhere, and the human head tumbled down!
“Old Ghost Su, you can’t die easily!” Yu Tiancheng cursed, and just as he finished speaking, his head was cut off.
Suddenly, Li Qing felt an intention in his heart. He hurriedly pointed out and said, “That young master of Baifu City left him alive. When the time comes, ask him about his cultivation of demonic arts.”
“Alright.” City Lord Su nodded his head. The sword in his hand was merciless. “Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh” a few swords killed all of these Xiantian experts.
The corpses on the ground were all powerful experts. After their death, they were no different from ordinary people, disappearing into thin air.
At this point, only City Lord Wanqing and City Lord Baifu, as well as Young Lord Baifu, who cultivated demonic arts, were left among the Xiantian experts of the five major powers.
Li Qing saw the ancient bamboo stick on the ground and reached out to pick it up. He said, “This stick looks extraordinary. It can break through my defense. I wonder where it came from.”
City Lord Su said, “I don’t know either. I haven’t seen this before. It really looks extraordinary. Speaking of which, your body is really too powerful. Even a Xiantian 4th layer attack can’t do anything to you.”
Li Qing smiled faintly and said, “I cultivated a secret art and my defense is relatively strong. However, I was almost late because of cultivating it. If I were to be killed by a Xiantian expert on the city wall, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
“Fortunately, you appeared at the last moment, which saved the situation.” City Lord Su felt the same way. At that time, he was basically in despair. He didn’t expect that the road would turn around. “This battle has gathered most of the strength of the five great forces. Almost all of them were annihilated. It is their weakest moment. I wonder what your opinion will be next.”
“Of course, we chased after him while we were victorious!” Li Qing said coldly, “If we don’t eliminate the enemy, even if we win this war, we won’t get much benefit. Since the people from the five great forces have basically been destroyed, it’s time for us to expand the results of the war! We absolutely cannot give them a chance to recover and recover their strength.”
“That’s right. Since that’s the case, let’s set off now! Yu Tian City is the closest to this place, and all the experts are dead. It’s just the right time to attack!”
Li Qing nodded, “Alright, let’s attack tonight. Starry Night will rush to Yu Tian City and break it!”
The discussion was settled. In the next two hours, Li Qing and City Lord Su began to gather their men.
Originally, Jiangyuan City still had five to six hundred elite martial artists. In addition to this great victory, their morale and prestige were booming, and they had recruited some new martial artists. Together, there were more than a thousand of them.
Moreover, there were more than a thousand enemy martial artists who had just surrendered, and they all joined in, forming a mixed team.
Those enemy martial artists who surrendered had no courage to resist against Li Qing and City Lord Su, so they could only obediently listen to their orders. Although there were some hidden dangers in joining the team right now, the overall problem wasn’t that big. They were confident that they could suppress them.
Just like that, Jiang Yuan City’s team of two thousand people took advantage of the victory to brave the night and march towards Yu Tian City.
