Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1715 - 770: Burning the City (Part 2)

So when Lu Qiaochun took people out, sometimes everyone left smoothly, and sometimes a few would be detained by Yu Wenwuji.

This time was no different, after exhausting the value and resources of these people, three were detained in Yu Wenwuji’s team.

As for the others, they were all released, scared witless, and fled into the boundless darkness of the wilderness.

"You’ve been watching the gate lately, is it too frequent? Hasn’t your master suspected you?"

Lu Qiaochun glanced at the man standing beside her, her eyes revealing unhidden disgust.

"Miss Lu’s words are always so unpleasant, but with Yu Wenwuji guarding the West City Gate, my master’s delighted, why wouldn’t he be?"

Yu Wenwuji responded indirectly, yet it seemed like he answered.

This way of speaking made Lu Qiaochun frown.

Indeed, she still didn’t like interacting with such people.

Turning around, she was about to enter the tunnel, preparing to return to the Rebel Army.

Behind her, Yu Wenwuji’s voice sounded.

"Send my regards to Leader Qiu, and hope we can continue to cooperate pleasantly."

"...Hmph."

Lu Qiaochun left, and the fake smile on Yu Wenwuji’s face gradually faded.

Leading the team back to the city gate, the Dog-headed Military Advisor hurried up jogging.

"Gang Leader, still the old routine? Send today’s harvest, fifty percent to the Bo Family?"

"What do you think?" Yu Wenwuji glanced at him.

The Dog-headed Military Advisor clicked his tongue.

"Gang Leader, that’s half the harvest, so much material given away for free, it pains me!"

"Some things must be submitted. You’ve followed me for so long and still don’t understand? Just follow my orders."

Wu Junshi couldn’t help but mumble, "Doesn’t this show Gang Leader’s brilliance? Without me, who would see Gang Leader’s intelligence and wisdom? Them?"

"You rascal! Hahaha!"

In the end, it is Wu Junshi, who has been following him since the Black Tiger Gang, that is truly one of his own.

The group of strong ones who joined for the Red Immortal Relic are just mutually exploiting each other.

"Gang Leader..."

The Dog-headed Military Advisor suddenly leaned close, whispering quietly.

"Are we really going to stay and fight with Thunder City? From my view, Thunder City’s situation seems precarious..."

"Don’t worry about it, I have my plans."

Stay? Stay and await death? Right now we’re seizing what we can, isn’t it all for running away!

This little calculation, Yu Wenwuji has it well figured out.

In a while, it’ll be the time for the Red Immortal Relic’s true emergence, and before that, this group of subordinates will be devotedly following him.

So it’s crucial to take advantage of this time to enlarge strength and prepare everything!

Yu Wenwuji’s eyes shone with light, full of ambition, and possessing the capability to act!

Currently, the Bo Family uses his people to gain momentum, and he is equally leveraging the Bo Family’s power to gather wealth.

It’s all just mutual benefit, and in the end, where both sides end up is just up to their abilities.

On the other side, Lu Qiaochun had also returned to the Rebel Army base.

She found Qiu Xiaoping and reported in.

Since the great war, the Rebel Army suffered significant losses and long ceased to have the power to contend with the Four Great Families, merely surviving and slowly recuperating.

Had they peacefully developed together for decades, the Rebel Army could regain their past ambitions, but now, the invasion of the Demon Army ruined all of Qiu Xiaoping’s plans.

"Lord Qiu, how about we flee too? Take all the Rebel Army with us and escape!"

Though Lu Qiaochun very much wished to continue living in Thunder City, the current situation made staying there akin to certain death.

Yet, Qiu Xiaoping shook her head.

"It’s impossible. Our group has long been targeted by the Four Great Families, even craftsmen with some capability in the city are forcibly detained, let alone us in the Rebel Army."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qiaochun sighed inwardly.

Yes, although they seemed to smoothly take people out, as if anyone could walk the tunnel.

In reality, it’s a result of mutual compromise; if an outsider stumbled through the tunnel, they’d face deadly attacks from the city gate forces and be dead on the spot.

"If that’s the case... aren’t we destined to die, no chance?"

Lu Qiaochun’s eyes turned slightly red.

She didn’t want to die, and definitely not to die so unclear, so oppressed and painful.

"Let’s seek change while stabilizing. Use the resources provided by those exiting the city to quickly arm our people to the teeth, ensuring maximum combat power. When war breaks out, if there’s a chance, we’ll search for escape routes!"

Hearing that Qiu Xiaoping still held thoughts of resistance and escape, Lu Qiaochun felt reassured.

Given her abilities, she had little chance to survive in such chaotic battlefields, even if she got lucky and fled to the wilderness, the chances of safely reaching the next town were slim.

But if she escaped with Qiu Xiaoping, under his care, her survival chances would greatly improve.

Moreover, she wasn’t entirely without direction.

"Lord Qiu, I heard from Mr. Diao that their destination is the Capital. If we don’t have any support, we can seek them in Shangjing..."

Lu Qiaochun’s words were cut short as Qiu Xiaoping raised her hand to stop.

Some matters she hadn’t thought so far ahead.

Now isn’t the time, focusing on dealing with the current situation and preparing for breakout or resistance matters more.

Everything still hinges on the conflict between the Demon Army and the Four Great Families, and the ultimate outcome.

Thunder City became busy, in chaos, every sort of monster erupted, while internally chaotic, the Demon Army of Demon Capital rapidly approached.

Because their goal was clear, their marching speed was exceptionally fast.

After several consecutive rainy days, a thick cloud drifted in from afar, slowly covering the skies above Thunder City.

Dark clouds loomed overhead, the army pressed upon the city!

The densely packed Demon Army appeared today, about ten kilometers out from Thunder City.

"Roar!!"

"Roar!"

The demons’ excited roars reverberated from afar, beating like war drums into every household in Thunder City.

Qiu Xiaoping originally planned to assess the demons’ situation and the forces on both sides.

But just from a high perch, a single glance outside, she immediately understood, Thunder City... was finished.

The endless Demon Army, each being formidable and powerful.

The sandstorm kicked up by the marching army was as an overwhelming dust storm!

Unstoppable, engulfing everything with terrifying momentum, shocking Qiu Xiaoping.

For the first time, she saw such a cohesive demon group, and for the first time, a Demon King capable of commanding such a multitude of demons!

"Four Great Families, fight to the death!!"

The Four Great Families were still on the city walls, conducting their final mobilization.

But Qiu Xiaoping realized they would eventually retreat to their families, relying on the Sky-reaching Pillar’s power to have a chance against such a vast Demon Army.

"We must find an exit."

Qiu Xiaoping knew clearly in her heart and had a clear understanding of the situation.

But time waits for no one, as she took action, the vast black tide of demon army surged towards them!

Countless demons madly slammed into the city wall as if oblivious to the dense rain of arrows falling from the walls.

Boom!!

Only the first wave of impact, the city wall, already suffering travails, and incomplete repairs, instantly created a huge dent, and cracks webbed across the wall.

"Roar!!!"

Accompanied by the demons’ rising momentum of a second wave of impact.

Boom!!!

The city wall was breached at the scene, and innumerable demons rushed into Thunder City like a tide!

Suddenly, Thunder City turned into a human purgatory!

Screams, cries for help, and wails were heard endlessly!

Slaughtering, arson, peeling skin, devouring bones; wherever demons passed, not a blade of grass remained!

The flames from the gate, as if fueled by oil, spread wildly in the wind, in the blink of an eye transformed into giant flames, engulfing the city!
