Chapter 456 - Reaching the Summit
456 Reaching the Summit
After a long fight, Dong Xi realized that the damage these people caused was all physical damage.
To Dong Xi, who was in the fifth layer of Body Refining Tier, it seemed to be useless.
Dong Xi threw her shield to her teammate. She rushed to the front with her sword and shouted, “Cover me, I’m going to the top!”
Seeing Dong Xi’s entire body exposed, Shangguan Yun’er was scared out of her wits. Shangguan Yun’ er shouted, “Husband, be careful.”
When Long Wei saw Dong Xi like this, he thought that Dong Xi had gone crazy. One had to know that Long Wei was wearing a Daoist robe, so he did not dare to not rush out. After all, there were always places that the Daoist robe could not protect.
In this team, only Tie Zhu knew Dong Xi well enough. He stretched out his hand and took Dong Xi’s shield. Tie Zhu said, “Don’t worry, Junior Brother. I’m here!”
Dong Xi smiled and charged towards the ladder with her sword in hand.
Although Dong Xi’s movement technique did not have the support of spiritual energy, she was still more powerful than ordinary people because of her physique.
Dong Xi exerted her strength while she ran close and jumped ten feet high. She tapped the tip of her toes on the ladder to borrow strength and quickly rushed towards the city wall.
Someone on the city wall shouted, “Kill him!”
At this moment, Dong Xi had no time to listen to whether the voices belonged to the soldiers or cultivators. All she could do was focus on dodging the falling rocks from the city wall.
As for the bow and arrows, they were indeed unable to cause any harm to Dong Xi.
The city walls that were several meters tall might be difficult for other mortals to reach the top, but it was much easier for Dong Xi.
However, just as Dong Xi was about to reach the top, a gust of wind blew over.
Dong Xi sensed that this attack might hurt her, so she quickly turned around and dodged the attack.
However, the opponent did not give up just because Dong Xi had dodged. That person’s blade once again attacked Dong Xi.
Dong Xi immediately flipped over and kicked the sword.
Dong Xi was given some time to catch her breath. At the same time, she recognized that the attacker should be a cultivator who had come to the Secret Realm with her.
Perhaps this person’s cultivation was higher than Dong Xi’s, but he was unable to use his spiritual power now. In terms of physical fitness, Dong Xi was really not afraid of anyone.
Dong Xi borrowed the strength from the ladder and jumped onto another ladder.
That person chased after her relentlessly. At this moment, an arrow shot over and directly deflected the blade.
“Brother, don’t worry,” Cui Liu shouted. “I’ll cover for you.”
Dong Xi took advantage of this time to quickly climb up and finally reached the city wall.
With Dong Xi blocking the attack, more and more people climbed up the city wall.
The cultivators on the defensive side had yet to realize their duty. Seeing that the city was broken, they did not choose to fight with their lives on the line.
He might as well surrender quickly and see what changes there were in the Secret Realm.
They had been here for two days and were still stuck on the city wall.
Every time they wanted to continue, they would be stopped by the soldiers.
However, they did not expect that the moment the city fell, they did not even have a chance to surrender. All the defenders disappeared.
Dong Xi stood on the city wall and looked around. He found that the city seemed to be empty.
Those things just now… Where did he go?
Before Dong Xi could figure it out, the scene changed again.
Dong Xi was still standing on the city wall, but the traces of battle had disappeared. A soldier ran forward and bowed to Dong Xi. The soldier said, “Vice General, the General wants you to go over.”
Dong Xi was stunned. When did she become a Vice General?
Although she was curious, she still had to push the boat with the current and continue the plot.
Dong Xi put away the long sword in her hand and said, “Lead the way.”
She followed behind the soldiers and walked down the city wall toward the General’s Estate.
The pedestrians and peddlers on the road were exactly the same as the secular world.
Dong Xi frowned. She wanted to ask where Tie Zhu and the others were, but she did not know how to ask.
When she arrived at the entrance of the General’s Estate, he saw that the two figures guarding the door were very familiar. Dong Xi smiled again.
Tie Zhu winked at Dong Xi. Dong Xi held back her laughter and entered the door.
The General’s surname was Song. He looked at Dong Xi with a worried expression. General Song said, “Vice General, yesterday we broke through the city, and your strength is outstanding. Today, I invited you here because there are 400,000 troops of bandits 30 miles north of my city. It seems that it will be another tough battle. I wonder what are your thoughts on this battle?”
Dong Xi, “?”
Thoughts? Dong Xi still did not know what was going on.
Moreover, they had just broken through the city and were going to continue fighting?
Could it be… Another change in camp? Now, they were on the defensive?
Dong Xi said, “I’m stupid. I only have some brute force. I really don’t have any ideas. Everything will be under the General’s command.”
When General Song heard Dong Xi’s words, he said meaningfully, “If that’s the case, not bad.”
Dong Xi went out of the General’s Mansion and found Tie Zhu and Long Wei, asking where the others were.
The two of them did not know either. They were already here when they opened their eyes, and they could not leave yet.
