After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Outside Youzhou City.

now.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, giving a depressing feeling as if a storm was about to come.

Under the dark clouds, people from the two states of Youzhou and Liangzhou, who seemed to have no end, rushed towards Youzhou City, with cries, pleas for mercy, and roars echoing continuously.

It became the only scene in this world.

At the end of the crowd, there stood groups of Northern Barbarian cavalry, driving the people in front of them like they were driving livestock.

At this moment, Youzhou City became the only hope for all the refugees.

Unfortunately, no matter how they shouted, the gates of Youzhou City remained closed. Not only that, but rays of light appeared on the entire city wall.

It can be clearly seen that rays of light fall down and kill batches of people after batches.

Afterwards, arrows rained down from the sky, forming the most obvious barrier between the world.

Killing the civilians was not because Feng Yujiang was unkind, but because he had his own unspeakable difficulties, because among these refugees there were countless powerful northern barbarians.

Once the formation is closed, it will be a disaster for the entire Youzhou city.

These people have no food to eat and no clothes to wear. Except for a few who have cultivated themselves, the rest are just starving beasts. In fact, killing them here is the best option.

However, Feng Yujiang also knew that after the battle, he would suffer huge infamy, but someone had to bear the consequences.

Endless refugees behind.

There were countless Northern Barbarian cavalrymen, all of whom stood solemnly on the plain, waiting for orders from their superiors. At a glance, there were hundreds of thousands of them, bringing with them a huge sense of oppression.

Above everyone's heads, there were more than twenty figures standing.

They are all powerful warriors in the realm of Martial Saint.

They are also the ones who hold the line. As long as there is a flaw in the formation of Youzhou City, they can rush in at the first time. As for this moment, they are watching the life and death below indifferently.

To them, ordinary humans are nothing more than consumables, especially those from the Central Plains, who will not arouse the slightest sympathy from them.

“I really can’t figure out why you insist on using these civilians to attack the city. The previous few times are enough to prove that Feng Yujiang will not show the slightest mercy. Even if more people die, it will be of no avail.

Why bother? With our strength, we can just take action and destroy Youzhou City without spending much effort."

In the void, a figure frowned and looked at the person beside him indifferently.

He was dressed in golden fox fur, with golden decorations hanging on his chest and a crown on his head. He had a burly figure, and exuded a murderous aura and supreme majesty.

His identity is equally shocking; he is the Great Khan of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, Hu Yuanlie.

As for the person next to him, he was wearing a black robe and his face could not be seen at all. He looked weird and deadly. If Jiang Che was here, he would definitely be able to tell who this person was.

It was the long-lost Qingtian Sect leader Duan Yuntian.

And through Hu Yuanlie's words, it can be easily inferred that this siege on the city was all Duan Yuntian's idea. At this moment, he exuded a cold aura.

Replied indifferently:
"These civilians are consumables. If more of them die, it will consume the power of Youzhou City's formation and reduce the casualties of you Northern Barbarians. It is better than you seeking death."

“Haha, there is an old saying in the Central Plains that we are all thousand-year-old foxes. What are you trying to do here? I know you have some plans, and you have even reached an agreement with the high priest.

Otherwise, this Khan will not listen to your advice. Now, we have gathered twenty-four Martial Saints, fifteen Yangshen Martial Saints, six Manifested Saints, and three Human Immortals.

You and I have comprehended the power of rules, and our strength far exceeds that of Feng Yujiang and Feng Wuji. If you are willing to give your all, it won't take so much time to break into this city.

It's a pity that you have too many thoughts in your mind. However, I still want to remind you that from the news just sent back, the King of War in the Central Plains has now dealt with the Southern Witch God Temple.

We have freed up our hands. If we don’t break into the city soon, and wait a few more days, I’m afraid things will change.”

If Hu Yuanlie had not been unable to control Duan Yuntian, he would have captured Youzhou City long ago. However, this man seemed to support the Northern Barbarians, but in fact he was only making some small moves and did not want to take any action at all.

It seems that he really likes this feeling of the extinction of living beings.

"So what if Jiang Che comes? Can he really think of fighting three human immortals by himself? Don't worry, I am here. If he comes, he will just be seeking death."

Duan Yuntian laughed hoarsely and didn't care at all.

Hu Yuanlie looked at Duan Yuntian deeply, snorted coldly, and then said no more.

The war continues.

In less than half a day, more than 100,000 civilians who rushed to Youzhou City almost all died outside the city. Although there were rebels among them, they were all killed by the Northern Barbarian Cavalry without exception.

This place is like a huge meat grinder. The strong smell of blood is floating in the air within a radius of dozens of miles. No one cares about the corpses, and they are even turned into meat paste under being trampled.

Occasionally, wailing sounds could be heard from time to time.

In the blink of an eye.

A war of attrition lasted from early morning to noon. After a rest, as orders were given, the Northern Barbarian Army, which had been preparing for a long time, finally began to attack the city.

The rumbling sound pierced through heaven and earth.

Like the collapse of heaven and earth, a large number of cavalry rushed towards Youzhou City from three directions, carrying various large-scale equipment, and various powerful Northern Barbarian masters and even grand masters.

The charge began again.

This time, it was even more tragic than before.

Row after row of Northern Barbarian soldiers fell, and were soon drowned in the crowd. Above, the great formation of Youzhou City was frantically activated, and Yuan Crystals were used as if they were free of charge.

When filling each array core, hundreds of Yuan Crystals would turn into ashes within a few breaths.

However, if he could consume a large number of Northern Barbarian soldiers just by using resources, Feng Yujiang would actually be happy to do so. After all, with the fall of Youliang and other two states, countless forces flocked here to survive.

The entire Youzhou city is home to a vast amount of resources.

It's a pity that not all the Northern Barbarians are fools. Not only did they attack the city foolishly, they also brought a large number of treasures that had been prepared long ago to break the formation, although they were not enough to break the entire Youzhou formation.

But if they concentrate their fire on one place, they can still open up a few gaps, and these places will often become their breakthrough points, just like now.

After only a quarter of an hour of fighting, three gaps were opened in Youzhou City.

Countless powerful Northern Barbarians began to charge against the anti-air magic circle, while in Youzhou city, a large number of elite troops who had been prepared long ago also jumped off the city wall and engaged in battle with them.

Blade light, sword energy, and fist strength.
Various means began to erupt one after another, and the roar continued to resound, even drowning out the sound of iron hooves.

In the three gaps, dozens of great masters of divine physiognomy led their teams and rushed out of the city wall directly, rushing towards the boundless Northern Barbarian army, turning into a barrier to resist the charge from the front.

Among them, hundreds of thousands of Tianyuan elite soldiers undoubtedly made great contributions. They were elite soldiers who had experienced many battles, and even far surpassed the northern troops and even the northern barbarian cavalry.

Although only a part of the hundreds of thousands of people have arrived so far, they have become a backbone force that cannot be ignored, precisely because of the replenishment of Tianyuan's elite.

Only Youzhou City can withstand such a brutal war.

As for the Martial Saints of Youzhou City, none of them took action at this moment. It was not because they did not want to, but because they could not. This had happened before, when a Martial Saint took action and wiped out thousands of Northern Barbarian soldiers. But right after that, the Northern Barbarian Martial Saint would simultaneously take action to suppress them.

And if they did not take action, the Northern Barbarians would not send the Martial Saint to take action. It was as if they were not attacking the city here, but turning this place into a meat grinder.

It was not for victory, but for heavy casualties on both sides.

Feng Yujiang and many other Martial Saints were very confused about this. They didn't understand why the Northern Barbarian Army was like this, because under such a tense situation, the Northern Barbarian Army actually suffered quite a few casualties.

According to the information they had received, at least two royal tribes and more than a dozen large tribes had been completely wiped out.

Are the casualties more than just hundreds of thousands?
According to Feng Yujiang's judgment, from the beginning of the war to the present, in just over a year, the number of casualties on the Northern Barbarian side alone exceeded 200,000, which is simply a waste of their lives.

But even though it was very uncomfortable, the situation was ultimately stronger than them, and they had to fall into a passive state, watching the soldiers of both sides fighting in the front.

"The Tianyuan elite are worthy of being the most elite of the human race in the Central Plains. They are indeed extraordinary." Feng Yujiang looked at the fighting below and sighed sincerely. This was not the first time he said this.

But every time I see Tianyuan’s soldiers take action, I am still shocked.

He thought that the soldiers under his command were already elite troops who had experienced many battles, but they were far inferior to the elite troops of Tianyuan. The gap between the two sides could not even be summarized in a few simple sentences.

Whether it is individual strength or forming formations, they are all very skilled.

"These are the elite soldiers of our human race. Unfortunately, they died at the hands of the Northern Barbarians." Marshal Chen was very saddened by this. In just a few days, more than 10,000 elite soldiers were killed or injured under the city of Youzhou.

These are the assets accumulated by Tianyuan City over hundreds of years. If one batch of them dies, the other batch will be gone.

"Yes, these barbarians are really stupid. The Demon Realm is watching closely and may start a war again at any time. Instead, they want to invade the Central Plains. Even if they enter the Central Plains, what will happen?
When the demon army arrives, we will all die in the end."

Xue Pingzu said coldly.

He had previously informed the Northern Barbarians of the invasion of the Demon Territory, but the other party completely ignored him, or it would be more accurate to say that they did not care. In his opinion, they had no brains at all.

"Fortunately, the Central Plains has the Martial King Jiang Che, otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable. I even thought that if there was no Martial King, the power of the Great Zhou alone would not be able to stop the Northern Barbarians.

And I will definitely open the Tianyuan restriction. If we have to die, let's die together. Now that all the people in the Central Plains are gone, these barbarians should be buried with us." Marshal Chen's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Something's wrong, something's wrong." Compared to the conversations of the other people, Feng Wuji's expression remained ugly.

"What do you mean, Senior Feng?"

Feng Yujiang asked with a frown.

"You all should know that the Northern Barbarian King's way of fighting is entirely for the purpose of consuming lives, not only in the Central Plains, but also in the barbarians. There must be a huge plan behind this.

It’s even enough to overturn the world.”

Feng Wuji had already noticed something was wrong, but unfortunately he was powerless to stop it.

The others sighed when they heard this. There was nothing they could do about it. Even though they knew that the Northern Barbarians had a big plan, they still fell into their trap.

If this is not done, Youzhou City will inevitably fall.

Fortunately, they now have hope. As long as King Wu Jiang Che arrives here, there may be room for turnaround.

Feng Wuji glanced at a few people and felt a little pessimistic. He was very clear about Jiang Che's strength. He could only rival the rule-based human immortals at most. However, the Northern Barbarians had several human immortals.

There was more than one rule-based immortal among them. He had previously attempted to take the risk of killing one or two to ease the situation, but he almost failed to escape. Even if Jiang Che came, the stalemate might still continue.

The only hope is to expect Jiang Che's abnormal speed of cultivation to break through the realm again.

But, is this really possible?
He didn't say it out loud and could only sigh in his heart.

Under the city of Youzhou.

The fighting had reached a fever pitch. The fallen soldiers from both sides were enough to pile up into mountains of flesh. The thick smell of blood was almost impossible to dispel.

Both sides were already blood-thirsty at this moment. The endless stream of Northern Barbarian soldiers and the endless stream of Youzhou troops collided crazily. More than a hundred Grand Masters of Divine Appearance and Grand Masters of Mysterious Pills fell in just over an hour.

In the void.

Hu Yuanlie frowned deeply as he watched the battle below. With this kind of fighting style, even if they captured Youzhou City, the Northern Barbarians would suffer heavy losses. He was already filled with anger.

Not only to Duan Yuntian, but also to the high priest of the temple.

He let out a long breath and said coldly:
"Go ahead and kill as many elite soldiers from the Central Plains as possible."

"Yes!"

"As ordered!"

Following Hu Yuanlie's order, nearly twenty Martial Saints attacked together. The terrifying domain swept across the sky and pressed towards Youzhou City. Duan Yuntian watched this scene but remained indifferent.

He knew that as long as he did not take action, Hu Yuanlie, a rule-based human immortal, and these northern barbarian martial saints would not be able to form an overwhelming advantage and would not be able to capture Youzhou City at all.

He was even happy to see such a scene.

The death of one martial saint is more useful than the deaths of 100,000 civilians.

He doesn't care whether it is the Northern Barbarian Martial Saint or the Central Plains Martial Saint, as long as the gathered death energy is enough.

"Let's do it, those barbarians can't hold their temper any longer!"

Feng Yujiang wiped the golden tiger-head sword in his hand, his eyes filled with murderous intent. The other martial saints all had solemn expressions, knowing that in this battle, someone was bound to fall.

"kill!"

"Kill these barbarians!"

All of a sudden.

The twelve Martial Saints took action at the same time, preparing to meet the Northern Barbarian Martial Saint in front of them.

But just as they were about to take action, suddenly, everyone seemed to sense something and subconsciously raised their heads to look towards the south, with confusion and shock on their faces.

Because what appeared before their eyes at this moment was a scene that could be called a miracle.

In the distance, the sky and the earth were shining with endless golden light, like a vast ocean. Like a flood that broke through a dam, it was rapidly approaching the city of Youzhou. Wherever it passed, it dispersed the lingering dark clouds for hundreds of miles.

A great majesty quickly encroached, as if bringing hope and light.

Both the Northern Barbarians and the Youzhou soldiers subconsciously raised their heads at this moment.

next moment.

What reached everyone's ears was the sound of a mighty sword.

Zheng!
Zheng!
Zheng!
The sound of the sword shook the sky, and countless golden lights gathered together and transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long divine light.

then.

The divine light fell, shattering the empty space. (End of this chapter)
