Chapter 77 Leaving the city to meet the enemy
"Miss Qingluan, my father has something important to discuss with Boss Shen. I wonder if he is free now?" Su Qingying said straight to the point.

"The master is resting in the study on the top floor. Miss Su, please wait for a moment. I will go and inform him."

Having said that, Qingluan turned and walked upstairs.

"Rest? It's already this late, and he still has the mind to rest?" Xiaohuan muttered softly.

Su Qingying glared at her and signaled her not to talk nonsense.

After a while, Qingluan came back and made a gesture to Su Qingying to invite her: "Miss Su, the master invites you to go up."

Su Qingying and Xiaohuan followed Qingluan all the way to the top floor.

The best location on the top floor overlooks the entire Tianhuang City.

At this time, Shen Qiu was lying lazily in a rocking chair, holding a glass of wine in his hand, admiring the scenery outside the window.

Hearing the knock on the door, Shen Qiu said without raising his head: "Come in."

Qingluan pushed open the door and said respectfully, "My Lord, Miss Su is here."

Shen Qiu then put down his wine glass, turned around, and put on a cynical smile on his face: "Hey, isn't this Sister Qingying? Long time no see."

"Brother Shen!"

Su Qingying was about to explain her purpose when Shen Qiu waved his hand to interrupt her. He still had that cynical smile on his face, as if even the sky falling could not move him in the slightest.

"Sister Qingying, I know what City Lord Su asked you to do. Don't worry, I know the situation outside now. Take this sword talisman, and tell City Lord Su that when the time comes, we in Fanlou will take action. After all, we are all in danger, and we can't just stay out of it."

As Shen Qiu spoke, he waved his hand and a talisman emitting a faint golden light fell into Su Qingying's hands.

Su Qingying took the sword talisman and weighed it slightly. A sharp sword intent instantly invaded her perception, causing her to shiver involuntarily.

This sword talisman was left to Shen Qiu by the Thirteenth Sword Master Chen Jianyu. It contained Chen Jianyu's full-strength attack, which was enough to destroy all strong men below the Martial Emperor level.

"This……"

Su Qingying looked at the sword talisman in her hand with some disbelief. She didn't expect that Shen Qiu would agree to help Tianhuang City so easily.

"What's the matter, Sister Qingying? Are you doubting what I said?" Shen Qiu raised his eyebrows and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"No, no, I just..." Su Qingying's pretty face turned slightly red and she was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, Sister Qingying, don't refuse anymore. Time is running out, you should go back quickly."

As Shen Qiu spoke, he stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance, as if thinking about something.

Seeing this, Su Qingying said no more. She bowed to Shen Qiuying and hurried away with Xiaohuan.

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Su Qingying handed Shen Qiu's promise and the sword talisman to Su Yue.

When Su Yue learned that Shen Qiu was willing to help, he was overjoyed. He quickly took the sword talisman and looked at it carefully.

The sword symbol is dark gold in color, with complex patterns carved on it, and it exudes a sharp sword energy. One can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary object.

Su Yue held the sword talisman in his hand, and felt a vast force surging into his body from his palm, causing the true energy in his body to tremble uncontrollably.

"What a powerful force!"

Seeing this, Su Yue was amazed.

"Dad, with this sword talisman, can we resist the rebels' attack?" Su Qingying couldn't help but ask when she saw her father's serious face.

Su Yue pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Although this sword talisman is powerful, it can only strike once, and the conditions for its use are harsh. It should not be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary."

Hearing this, Su Qingying couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but she also knew that her father was right, so she stopped asking questions and stood quietly aside, waiting for her father's next instructions.

"Somebody come!"

Su Yue suddenly shouted loudly outside the door.

A guard came in, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "What do you want, Lord City Lord?"

"Pass the order, the whole city is on alert, patrols are stepped up, and if you find any trace of the rebels, report it immediately!"

Su Yue said in a deep voice: "Pay close attention to the children of the big families and wealthy businessmen in the city. I don't want to see anyone betraying their own people and colluding with the rebels outside the city." "Yes!" The guard took the order and left.

Su Yue looked at the sword talisman in his hand, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He knew that the fate of Tianhuang City was now in his hands.

……

The setting sun was as red as blood, dyeing the area outside Tianhuang City scarlet.

After a brief respite during the day, Baili Xuanzhong showed no mercy and once again led his 40,000 troops towards Tianhuang City like a black wave.

This time, their target is still the East City Gate.

"I just don't believe it. Is this Tianhuang City made of iron or copper?"

Baili Xuanzhong swung his halberd, a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes.

On the city wall, Su Yue, wearing blood-stained armor and holding a spear, stared intently at the densely packed enemy troops outside the city with sharp eyes.

He knew that blindly defending would only turn Tianhuang City into a tomb.

Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative and fight to the death!
"Pass the order down, three thousand heavy cavalry, five thousand light cavalry, and ten thousand city guards, follow me out of the city to meet the enemy."

Su Yue's voice echoed above the city wall, carrying with it a sense of determination and tragedy.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The city gate opened, Su Yue took the lead, led the elite troops, and charged towards the enemy like a tiger out of a cage.

"The blue dragon goes out to sea!"

Su Yue roared, and the spear in his hand turned into a silver lightning and went straight for Baili Xuanzhong.

Baili Xuanzhong sneered, without dodging or evading, he swung his halberd and attacked head-on.

"boom!"

The two powerful forces collided with each other, causing a deafening roar. The surrounding soldiers were shocked and retreated by the powerful air wave.

"City Lord Su, is this all you have? If you have no other means, today will be the day you die!"

Baili Xuanzhong roared angrily, and the halberd in his hand shook violently. A violent force swept out like a hurricane, knocking the surrounding soldiers to the ground.

"Arrogant boy, let me show you my true abilities!"

Su Yue snorted coldly, and the true energy in his body circulated wildly. The spear in his hand seemed to have turned into a real blue dragon, making a deafening dragon roar and pounced towards Baili Xuanzhong.

"The Azure Dragon changes seven times, and the dragon soars into the sky!"

Following Su Yue's loud shout, he rose from the ground like a giant dragon. The spear in his hand turned into a golden light and pierced Baili Xuanzhong's chest.

Baili Xuanzhong's face changed slightly. He did not dare to delay and quickly waved his halberd to resist.

"clang!"

With a deafening bang, two powerful forces collided with each other, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The surrounding soldiers were shocked by this powerful force, and their blood was boiling. Some soldiers with weaker cultivation even vomited blood and fell to the ground.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Su Yue and Baili Xuanzhong were seen each taking several steps back before they could steady themselves.

Su Yue's face was pale and his palms were numb. It was obvious that he had been at a disadvantage in the previous confrontation.

Although Baili Xuanzhong looked unharmed, his arm holding the halberd was shaking slightly, and he was obviously not feeling relaxed.

Taking a deep breath, Baili Xuanzhong forced himself to suppress the surging blood and energy in his body, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Before the war, Su Yue made a bold decision. He first asked the big families and wealthy businessmen in the city to send some guards to the city walls to defend the city.

He led 3,000 heavy cavalry, 5,000 light cavalry, and more than 10,000 city guards out of the city to meet the enemy and engage in a decisive battle with Baili Xuanzhong.
