Those residents were exerting their full strength to escape, leaving billowing wheat fields behind them . A 30-year-old tough man pushed forward a woman who was carrying a baby when he heard the miserable shrieks were approaching him from behind . At the same time, he roared, "Take Xiaocheng away, hurry . . . " while holding tightly his walking saber on one side of his waist . Closely after that, he turned around and charged at a bloody figure .
Meanwhile, a virtual image of a black spider appeared behind this tough man, which indicated that he was a LV 6 fighter .
Given the uniform of the man, those who were familiar with the regulations in Taixia Country would know that this man should be a bowman being subordinate to the local constable of the town . Bowmen were used to protect the safety of the local place . According to the demand, they would assist the constable to govern the local place . Bowmen were not officials, they just ranked exiled Class VI . In Zhongzhou Province, a constable would have 3-5 bowmen . Each bowman would have some assistants . Besides the constable, all the judicial agencies even local garrisons in Taixia Country could assign and command these local bowmen .
This bowman's surname was Liu . This morning, after having some breakfast at home like usual, he was preparing to go to work . However, before he left home, he had heard the increasingly louder cries and shrieks from the streets . He went outside and saw many naked bloody people rushing into the town and killing anyone they saw .
His house neighbored a martial arts school . The master of the martial arts school was surnamed Xiang, who was a Class 8 fighter . He used to teach his disciples how to fight . When this bowman rushed out of his house, Master Xiang also rushed out of the martial arts school with some disciples . However, they met a naked bloody figure at once . In only a few seconds, Master Xiang's and his disciples' heads had been blown up by that naked bloody figure .
Soon after the bloody figure rushed into the martial arts school, shrill shrieks drifted from the martial arts school . The bowman could identify that the shrieks came from Master Xiang's family members . Oozing sweat all over, this bowman hurriedly returned to his home and started to escape away with his wife and kid .
When he escaped, this bowman had some questions inside, 'Isn't Zhongzhou Province an immortal province in Taixia Country? It's always peaceful . Even holy war could not affect this place . How could it become so chaotic all of a sudden? Where do the bloody figures come from? How could they behave like mutated fierce beasts?' However, this bowman didn't have time to figure them out . He only thought about escaping out of here with his wife and his kid .
Thousands of bloody figures covered Fuan Town like a bloody flood in the blink of an eye . Soon after this tough man and his family members entered the farmlands outside the town, those bloody figures had caught up with them .
. . .
When this bowman turned around and charged at one bloody figure, he saw more and more bloody figures rushing out of the town . Only after a short while, these bloody figures had found clothes in the town and put them on . Although being not tidy, they were not naked anymore; additionally, some of them even held weapons that they found inside the town .
"Go die . . . " The bowman slashed towards a bloody figure with his full strength . . .
The bloody figure flickered his red eye light when he dodged away easily by leaning to one side . At the same time, another bloody figure flashed out and punched through the tough man's chest at once, drawing his heart out . . .
This tough man spurted out a mouth of blood over the surrounding yellow wheat . . .
What a sharp difference in battle strength! One LV 6, the other LV 9 . In face-to-face close combat, the result could be identified in a split second; not to mention that the LV 6 fighter had two opponents . . .
The bowman fell down; however, before he loosed his grip, his saber had been grabbed away by that bloody figure .
Before falling down, the bowman threw a glance at the direction where his wife was escaping to . He found that the emaciated frame was still tumbling in the wheat field but in another direction . However, his son was not at her side . He knew that his wife must have hidden his son somewhere or let his son lie somewhere in the field . A kid could easily hide himself; however, she changed one direction and continued to escape so as to induce away those bloody figures . . .
Parents would make the same choice in this situation .
The bloody figures had been chasing after his wife . Before he lost his consciousness, the bowman had the last doubt in his mind, 'Has the flames of war reached Zhongzhou Province?'
. . .
On the top of the north city gate of Huian City, those people watched those bloody figures killing those people who were escaping in the field with pale faces . Big fires could be seen everywhere in Fuan Town while more and more bloody figures poured out of Fuan Town . Crossing the fields outside the city, they were rushing towards Huian City like a bloody tide .
Those bloody figures moved too fast; additionally, all the battle-qi totems of these bloody figures indicated that they were LV 9 fighters .
At first sight, over 20,000 bloody figures were rushing towards Huian City, which was very terrifying .
At the same time, the airships in the airship base in the northwest outside the city flew off like a flock of flurried birds in the reeds . All the airships were sending distress signals by releasing colorful smokes into the sky . . .
Some airships dove downwards the moment they flew off . . .
Needless to say, these bloody figures must have rushed into the airship base outside the city .
"Are these things . . . humans . . . or demons?" A young soldier who had not experienced any battle stammered at the sight of this scene .
Like that dead bowman, all the soldiers and officers standing on the top of the city gate had one question inside, 'How could so many people like fierce beasts appear in Zhongzhou Province, one of the nine immortal provinces in Taixia Country?'
"Listen, it's time for us to contribute to our country at the cost of our lives . As long as we're alive, we will never allow these fierce beasts to break into Huian City . Brothers in Huian City, think about your family members . We only need to stand here a short while before the arrival of knight-level powerhouses . . . " The officer who kicked the steward of the Double-well Brewery out of the city gate raised high his sword and exclaimed .
After a short while, the steam city-defense equipment on the city gate of Huian City wuthered, shooting bolts outside the city . . .
When those bloody figures entered the effective distance of the city-defense weapons at the city gate of Huian City, they immediately scattered like having been trained . At the same time, they accelerated towards the city gate dauntlessly while dodging away from the strikes of the steam city-defense weapons .
Bloody figures were hit one after another by the ceaseless strikes of the city-defense weapons of Huian City, spurting out blood and falling down with shrill shrieks and roars; especially those being hit by the over 2-m long huge bolts would be broken into two halves at once . . .
However, those bloody figures moved too fast . Although they constantly fell onto the fields facing the strikes of the city-defense equipment of Huian City, it only took the rest of them 1 minute to arrive at the foot of the city wall . In such a short period, the city-defense weapons on the north city wall of Huian City made very limited achievements facing the loose formation of those bloody figures, their super fast speed and flexible movements . . .
After arriving at the foot of the north city wall of Huian City, those bloody figures immediately jumped over 10 m high and landed on the city wall before making a massacre over there . . .
Those common garrisons of Huian City were just LV 4 warriors, how could they defeat these LV 9 bloody figures .
The city wall of Huian City could block commoners and common soldiers; however, they were ineffective to those bloody figures at all .
As more and more bloody figures jumped onto the city wall, the attacking frequency of the city-defense weapons on the city wall decreased too, causing more bloody figures to jump onto the city wall . . .
