Ancestors, please don't crawl out again.

Chapter 123 The Order to Kill the Barbarians
Unlucky Duan Mobo was quickly shredded into flesh and blood within the monster's giant jaws...

Even the soul was shattered.

The Jie general to whom this monster belongs will be very happy.

Of course, even if he obtained Duan Mobo's soul energy, he would still be nothing.

Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty looked at Xiangguo City in front of him.

Shi Le and his generals on the city wall of Xiangguo were also watching him.

Yang Feng turned and left with satisfaction.

He still did not order an attack, even though he soon received news of the great victory at Zhongshan. After he defeated the Duan Xianbei and captured Duan Mobo, the Han Chinese powerful families in Lunu City, including the slaves led by Kong Chang, all joined the siege of the Jie army. Moreover, Wei Xiong's garrison in Zhending and the powerful families from various counties in Changshan also marched north to join the battle, and even the powerful families from various counties under the jurisdiction of Gaoyang State behind the Jie army joined in...

Although they also submitted to Shi Le, and Cheng Xia, a local powerful figure in Gaoyang, even married his sister to Shi Le and had a son named Shi Hong, they couldn't afford to make the wrong choice at this time!
They've been able to hold on until now because they know how to make the right choices at crucial moments.

Kneel before whoever is stronger.

In the end, Kong Chang's entire army was wiped out.

He led over a thousand elite troops to hide in a nearby small town, intending to put up a last-ditch resistance. However, the Cheng family sent people in to persuade him, telling him that Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty had agreed that as long as he surrendered, he would still enjoy wealth and honor.

With his fighting skills, how could he possibly worry about not being able to continue living a life of luxury and wealth?
Why be a dog for Shi Le?
Kong Chang thought about it and realized it made sense. After all, he couldn't understand why such a useful general like himself wouldn't be given important responsibilities in this chaotic world.

Then he readily surrendered to Wei Xiong and followed Wei Xiong to the walls of Xiangguo City...

"Liar, you liar! I'll haunt you even in death!"

He ran wildly towards Xiangguo in grief and anger.

"Your Majesty, I did not send anyone to persuade him to surrender. He surrendered himself and said he was willing to serve you. I dare not decide whether to accept him, so I brought this to Your Majesty for your decision."

Behind him, Wei Xiong was explaining to Emperor Gaozu, who was on the imperial carriage.

"These people are all guilty of heinous crimes. There is no need to allow them to surrender anymore, let alone bring them to my eyes."

I didn't make it clear, so I'll let it go this time.

Emperor Taizu Gao said.

Then he stood up, raised the giant bow in his hand, and as the bow was drawn, energy arrows were instantly generated...

Kong Chang, who was running away, turned his head and looked at the energy arrow in horror, then quickly turned his head away again.

"It was the Cheng family who tricked me. It was the Cheng family who saved me, Shi Wang."

As he ran, he stretched out his hand, pleading for help from Shi Le on the city wall.

But the next moment, the energy arrow pierced the air and struck him squarely in the back. He was then completely annihilated in the massive blue ionosphere. The energy arrow continued forward, crashing directly into the city wall of Xiangguo. The wall instantly exploded, and the terrifying blue continued forward, leaving a horrifying chasm below, before finally crashing into a temple within the city and dissipating as the pagoda exploded.

"This guy even believes in Buddhism?"

Yang Feng looked through the gap in the city wall that had been shot out at the temple, which was now in complete disarray.

"According to Emperor Taizu Gao, it is said that Futucheng from India was treated with great courtesy by Shi Le."

Wei Xiong quickly explained to him.

"A raccoon dog of the same kind."

Yang Feng sneered.

Meanwhile, on the city wall of Xiangguo, Shi Le was grabbing a minister who was clearly beside him. The minister was desperately trying to explain something in a panic, but Shi Le clearly no longer believed him. He then grabbed the minister's head and ripped it off, even pulling out a piece of bone.

“Cheng Xia was from the Cheng family of Gaoyang. His father was a county magistrate in Jin.”

Wei Xiong explained.

He deliberately framed Cheng Xia to death.

They sent the Cheng family to persuade Kong Chang to surrender, but afterwards they denied it. They even brought Kong Chang before Emperor Gaozu and then denied it again, forcing him to tell Shi Le the truth with great grief and indignation.

Of course, such a thing is ultimately dishonorable, so it certainly can't be done by Emperor Taizu Gaozu. A subordinate must know how to take the blame for anything that damages his leader's reputation. Everyone now knows that Emperor Taizu Gaozu is the strongest. Although the restoration of the Han dynasty is still a long way off, following him is undoubtedly the most promising path; one must know how to do things. Cheng Xia was second only to Zhang Bin among Shi Le's Han subordinates, and represented the support of the powerful Han families of Ji Province for Shi Le. Now that he has been killed, and the Cheng family has betrayed him, it will inevitably lead to a split between Shi Le and the powerful Han families in the city.

He won't wait for the latter to make a move, and the latter won't sit idly by and wait for him to make a move.

The internal strife in Xiangguo was inevitable.

however……

The next moment, a noisy shouting erupted in the city.

Immediately afterward, a group of ragged figures appeared at the breach in the city wall created by the energy arrow.

Meanwhile, Shi Le, who was still carrying Cheng Xia's corpse and clutching Cheng Xia's head on the city wall, turned his head in astonishment to look into the city.

"Run! Don't let the Jiehu become monster food!"

"Run!"

……

Those ragged figures ran wildly towards the city outskirts, shouting as they went.

Behind them, within the city of Xiangguo, even more people surged towards the breach. Those who had already broken through rushed directly into the moat, where the water offered little resistance. The Jie soldiers on the city walls fired arrows into their backs, but the people paid no heed, desperately running forward. Even with arrows in their bodies, nothing could stop their escape. Those who reached the moat plunged into the water, quickly swimming across and climbing out, continuing their frantic run amidst the whistling of arrows.

Therefore, there is no need to make things too complicated. For a regime that relies entirely on bloody terror to maintain its rule, as long as a gap is made in their city wall and the people who are enslaved or even eaten like livestock see a ray of sunshine, the people themselves will not hesitate to turn into a torrent that overthrows the regime.

This is not just a breach in the city wall.

It was also a breach in the cage that Shi Le had built in the minds of the people through countless bloody massacres.

His rule collapsed instantly.

On the cleared battlefield on the north bank of the moat, monsters emerged, attempting to devour those who had escaped across the moat.

"Attack!"

Yang Feng said.

He appeared on the battlefield the next moment.

A monster was stretching out half its body, lunging straight at several civilians who had just climbed out of the moat.

Amidst the latter's terrified screams, the figure of Emperor Taizu Gao appeared. Immediately afterward, the blood-red sword light of the Crimson Sky Sword flashed, instantly severing the monster. As the people knelt in joyful worship, Emperor Taizu Gao's figure had already teleported to the side of another monster. The latter was so frightened that it hurriedly shrank back, but it still could not escape the fate of being severed.

The other monsters shrank back, while Yang Feng's figure flashed past them at an extremely fast speed.

They are constantly being cut off.

At the same time, the Han army, which had been arrayed in formation, began to advance. Soon they were within range of their bows and arrows, and they aimed at the Jie people on the city wall and fired their arrows.

Meanwhile, fleeing civilians continued to pour out of the breach in the city wall.

But then a Jie general appeared in the gap, wielding a saber and trying to sweep away the passing civilians. But the next moment, someone appeared in front of him. Before he could react, a blood-red sword light slashed down in front of him, and his body was separated in an instant. The fleeing civilians didn't even have time to salute and ran past Yang Feng like madmen. Even more civilians in the city were still running towards this side.

Moreover, it wasn't just the common people; the Han soldiers on the city walls also started to take action.

"Kill all the barbarians."

A young officer suddenly plunged his knife into the back of the Jie general in front of him.

The latter turned to look at him in astonishment.

This officer, clearly also a high-ranking general, reached out and grabbed the man's shirt, then slammed him against the city wall. But the officer was ruthless; he didn't let go of the knife already embedded in the man's back. As the Jie general threw him, he gripped the knife with both hands, and as his body flew through the air, he pulled half of his body away from the Jie general, thus cushioning his fall before crashing into the city wall.

"Shi Zhan, what do you want to do?"

The Jie general stared with bloodshot eyes and roared in agony.

“I am Ran Zhan, a dignified Han Chinese, how can I be a slave of the Jie barbarians?”

The young officer roared, spitting out blood.

The Jie general grabbed a spear and was about to throw it at him when suddenly another person appeared in front of him.

Before he could react, the spear was already in the man's hand, and then the spear shaft pierced his wound. He screamed and staggered back, but the spear shaft pierced right through his body.

Do you have a son?

Yang Feng, who was holding the Jie general in one hand, turned to ask Ran Zhan.

"My youngest son, Min, is only two years old."

Ran Zhan said, spitting out blood.

Yang Feng nodded.

The next moment, a nine-section staff appeared in his hand, which he then touched on Ran Zhan's body before releasing it. The latter looked at him blankly, but the figure of Emperor Taizu Gao disappeared in an instant. Only then did he notice that his injuries seemed to have completely healed.

"Kill the barbarians!"

He roared excitedly.

Of course, Yang Feng had no interest in dealing with him anymore.

After all, his son is only two years old.

Ran Zhan was actually Shi Hu's adopted son. He came from a poor family and had previously followed the Qihuo Army. When Shi Le destroyed Chen Wu, the leader of the Qihuo Army, for some unknown reason, he entrusted the twelve-year-old Ran Zhan to Shi Hu for adoption, and that's how he became Shi Zhan.

On the chaotic city walls.

Yang Feng looked at Shi Le opposite him.

At this time, the city walls were also engulfed in a chaotic battle.

Although the Han army had only just reached the moat, the powerful Han families on the city walls who were allied with Shi Le certainly knew what to do. Shi Le's angry killing of Cheng Xia already meant that he no longer trusted these powerful Han families. They were all intelligent men; those who had held out until now were all capable in both intellect and combat. In this surrounded situation, once suspicion began, it would inevitably end in indiscriminate purges.

This is inevitable.

The foundation for cooperation between the two sides no longer exists.

Moreover, if they were trapped for too long, even if they didn't betray him, Shi Le would still purge them.

What will we use to feed the monster we defeat?

They can't just eat the common people; they can't eat their own people. Sooner or later, they'll have to deal with these powerful Han Chinese.

If we don't seize this opportunity to jump ship, are we going to wait to live and die with him?

Furthermore, Emperor Taizu Gao was still so powerful.

These powerful local lords were not weak; they did not hesitate to attack the Jie people beside them, and their soldiers followed suit, charging towards the Jie soldiers. Wei Xiong and his men outside the city led the Han army through the monsters that tried to block their way, reaching the moat, and soon some began to scale the city walls.

Shi Le ignored the chaotic battle and simply stood there, staring at Yang Feng with hatred in his eyes.

Don't you want to escape?

Yang Feng said.

"Demons, you have ruined my great foundation."

Shi Le said angrily.

"Demons? It's truly shameless for you to utter that word!"

Yang Feng sighed with emotion.

"The world is in chaos. If you have the ability, then become the hegemon. I'm just eating raw meat. Who doesn't eat it? Doesn't the Sima family eat it? Doesn't Wang Jun eat it? The weak are eaten by the strong. What's wrong with that? Shameless. Only those who win have the right to call others shameless."

Shi Le sneered.

"It's obvious I won."

Yang Feng said.

"Too bad you haven't won yet."

Shi Le said with confident arrogance.

Without hesitation, he turned and leaped towards the outside of the city. But the next moment, he rose from outside the city again, and beneath his feet was a monster that was much smaller than the others. This monster was covered with fleshy buds, which were constantly waving and revealing their mouthparts. Some of them were even biting each other. Clearly, all the other monsters were descendants of this one.

This is a female insect.

What Shi Le actually summoned from another world was this mother insect.

You think you can catch me?

Shi Le said with a cold smile on the head of the monster mother insect.

At the same time, his legs quickly merged with the mother insect, and he sank deeper and deeper as if sinking into a quagmire.

Soon he transformed into a face on the mother insect's body.

The fleshy buds quickly retracted into the mother worm, transforming into its mouthparts.

Meanwhile, the mother insect was retreating towards the moat below the city.

Yang Feng immediately swung his Crimson Sky Sword, and the blood-red sword light instantly struck the mother insect. However, the latter seemed to be shrouded in an energy shield. The sword light burst out with dazzling light on its body, but it was shattered in an instant.

"Hahaha, do you think that something that devours 100,000 souls is the same as others? You can't kill it, and you can't kill me either. I will soon gather a new army and continue to fight you. There are still hundreds of millions of Han people in the world. If that's not enough, there are also Xiongnu and Di-Qiang. As long as there are people in the world to eat, you can't kill me."

Let's meet somewhere else.

Shi Le's face was beaming with triumph as he shouted at the mother insect.

then……

"Did you think I could only teleport on the ground?"

Yang Feng looked down at him and said quietly.

Shi Le was taken aback.

But the next moment, Yang Feng swung his jade axe and disappeared from the city wall.

Before Shi Le could find Yang Feng's whereabouts, the mother worm suddenly let out a mournful cry and began to writhe wildly, as if something was churning inside her. Shi Le's body rose up again, and the fleshy larvae crawled out. He searched anxiously like the larvae, but the next moment the mother worm suddenly raised its head towards the sky, and then blood and flesh gushed out of its mouth like a torrent, turning into a rain of blood falling from the sky.

Amidst the rain of blood, a figure appeared.

"One hundred thousand souls, is that a lot? I've seen billions killed. Even if your mother worm has an energy shield around its body, does it also have one inside its body?"

Yang Feng said contemptuously.
