Free Web NovelThe setting sun was like blood.
Their figures, illuminated by the setting sun on the war-torn city wall, stretched long and thin.
“Li Shaoxia!”
“Tsk tsk, did everyone see it today? Li Shaoxia stood on the city wall and didn’t retreat a single step.”
“That’s right, that Hélián Wù was even hammered to death by him.”
“Seeing him still standing there, I feel like there’s a stabilizing needle in my heart.”
Wherever Li Mo walked, the tired eyes of the Qingmu Camp soldiers all revealed expressions of reverence, as if they saw victory right before their eyes.
As long as Han Xianzi still soared in the sky.
As long as Li Shaoxia still stood on the city wall. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
No matter what kind of enemy they faced, they felt confident.
They had forgotten.
Li Mo was actually only in the Guan Shen Realm, his Realm wasn’t much higher than theirs, and he was even on par with some of them.
His age was even similar to their nephews and Juniors.
They only knew that dazzling people like Li Shaoxia and Han Xianzi were fighting alongside them and had never disappointed them.
Li Shaoxia used his Physical Body to withstand the siege ram and killed Hélián Wù, who had been famous for a long time, and many people rumored that all the Southern Border tribes would be unified under his hand.
The gazes filled with hope made Li Mo somewhat unsure how to face them.
He turned his head and once again looked into the distance with his Tianming Divine Eye.
【Name: Han Zhen】
【Age: 22 (5330)】
【Bone Structure: Blood God Body.】
【Realm: Guan Shen Nine Apertures.】
【Destiny: Purple】
【Evaluation: The former Great Shang National Teacher. After the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, because he possessed the immortal Blood Phoenix Essence, when his Yi Soul and Physical Body were about to perish, he comprehended the mysteries of the Blood Phoenix Essence to a deeper level, allowing him to Rebirth through a new body. He has now been Reborn seven times.】
【Recent Encounter: He is determined to obtain the Scarlet Phoenix Qi, Blood Phoenix Essence, and jade phoenix god possessed by Ying Bing. After losing the Blood Phoenix Essence, he switched to cultivating the Demon Summoning True Scripture, wantonly absorbing the power of all living beings, intending to regain control of the Blood Sacrifice Dao by using the deaths of countless living beings in war. The more living beings that die, the stronger his power becomes.】
So Han Zhen didn’t care how many people died at all.
Whether it was people killed in a massacre or the Qingmu City defenders, he probably wouldn’t even care if his own people died.
For the divine object on Ice Cube.
This former Great Shang National Teacher was very likely to stake everything on this battle.
Qingmu City won today, but that didn’t mean there were no losses.
Tomorrow, the battle would be even more tragic.
The Tianming Divine Eye, which had not yet closed, swept over the soldiers present.
Ying Bing saw the young man’s figure pause, so she reached out and smoothed his wrinkled collar.
They had agreed to go eat, but as Li Mo walked, his direction involuntarily changed again.
The two walked over the city wall, which had been licked by the flames of war, all the way down to the central army tent. The generals were visibly fewer, yet they were still busily handling military affairs.
Qu Sheng sat there with a deep frown, reading battle reports.
“Commander.”
Li Mo stood at the entrance and spoke softly.
Qu Sheng saw that he wanted to speak alone, so he got up and walked out.
After a moment of silence, he forced a smile:
“Today was a great victory, our casualty ratio is one to five.”
“Commander Qu, is Zhennan King... not coming at all from the beginning?”
Silence.
Li Mo had just used his Tianming Divine Eye and saw that some soldiers died on the eighth day, and some on the tenth day.
If Zhennan King were to come, it would be impossible for soldiers to still be dying on the tenth day.
Qu Sheng’s expression froze, then he lowered his eyelids, and his proud head also drooped a little.
“Li Shaoxia is right.”
“Your Majesty issued a golden decree not long ago, ordering the King to return to the capital for a report.”
“I asked Little Marquis to invite the King, also wanting to find an excuse to send him back to a safe place. At that time, I also wanted Li Shaoxia to leave together, until I witnessed your ability to come and go freely, moving thousands of miles.”
“If the King were to come, how could Qingmu Camp be in a state of lacking food and supplies? But I couldn’t say it. If I did, the spirit in my brothers’ hearts would scatter.”
Ying Bing’s serene eyes flashed with a thoughtful light.
Upon closer thought.
Zhennan King himself was a Law Body powerhouse, and one of the few God Realm generals of his time, strong enough to rival the Seventh Realm in the army.
His death, in itself, was not normal.
Li Mo opened his mouth.
Before he could speak, Qu Sheng pointed at the demon king’s head on the city gate again:
“Back then, the King was still in the Outer Scenery, and he and his brothers killed that evil crocodile. Then he stayed here, personally building this Qingmu City with his brothers in the vast swamp. Standing here, it’s as if the comrades who died on this land are still here.”
“Even if the final result is the fall of the city, I will die before the common people.”
“Both of you, the battlefield is merciless, and war is never a means to achieve glory. You have both witnessed it. In the future, when you soar through the Nine Heavens, if you have a little more compassion in your hearts, then my death will have some meaning.”
A hero draws his sword in one morning, and it’s another ten years of tribulation for the common people...
These words involuntarily surfaced in Li Mo’s mind.
“Let’s go.”
Qu Sheng patted Li Mo’s shoulder and said for the second time.
After speaking, he rubbed his face, and then walked back into the military camp with a confident expression:
“Li Shaoxia just said that he’ll send us the second wave of supplies right away!”
Even the excuse was ready.
But the generals probably never imagined in their lives that this would be the second lie of the trustworthy Commander Qu.
They all clenched their fists, as if seeing the dawn of victory.
“Ice Cube, I’m hungry, let’s go eat.”
“Mm.”
Ying Bing withdrew her hand, which was reaching for the boy with a large head to get candy.
Xiao Li wasn’t in the mood to cook today.
It was simply dry rations, meat and vegetable soup, the same as what the army soldiers ate.
“Ying Bing, why don’t we leave?”
Li Mo held his bowl, then suddenly looked relaxed as he gazed into the distance: “Anyway, this city can’t be defended. We’ve done everything we could, and we’ve tried our best.”
“Do you really think that?”
Ying Bing stared at him seriously.
“Mm.”
“You’re lying to me.”
She leaned closer, and Xiao Li, who smelled a faint fragrance, knew without looking back.
Those ice-mirror-like eyes must be able to see through people’s hearts.
“? I’m not.”
“Then do you dare to turn around and look into my eyes when you say that?”
“I don’t dare!”
Li Mo was only stubborn with his mouth, and a pair of cold, delicate hands reached the sides of his face, turning his head.
The forced version of Ice Cube’s gaze.
“You want to trick me into leaving first, and then stay here alone, waiting until the city actually falls before you leave, right?”
“....Wow, Ice Cube, you’re so smart.”
His thoughts exposed, Xiao Li rubbed his nose.
It was outrageous, could Ice Cube also have the Tianming Divine Eye?
Alright, that’s not the point.
Han Xianzi was pursing her lips at this moment, her eyes showing no amusement, and even a faint mist.
Life Qi.
She hadn’t said it yet, but he knew what that look meant.
How dare you make decisions on your own and ask me to leave you ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) behind?

PS: Are you satisfied with today’s ice content? Hehe, I actually wrote a lot of battle scenes today, but some of the war details aren’t necessary and aren’t the main point, so I deleted a part of them, using indirect descriptions to save words.
