The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

Like a fighter jet diving at low altitude, a sharp explosion rang out again.

Because of the distance, the Qi and Blood Transformation Level 2 experts who were watching clearly saw the trajectory of the arrow, which was like a shooting star streaking across the sky, carrying blood and fire, and crashing towards the city wall.

But in the eyes of the defending soldiers who were facing the barrage of arrows, it was not like that at all.

The normal human eye's visual persistence time is about 0.4 seconds. Once the speed exceeds the frame rate that the human eye can capture, it really looks like a ghost or phantom.

The enemy they were concerned about disappeared in the blink of an eye as soon as they released the bowstring, the arrow vanishing at a speed completely invisible to the naked eye.

It's terrifying!

Just as he was drawing his sword and reprimanding his composed junior officers, he felt a gust of wind, and the left side of his face trembled like waves, causing a sharp pain.

Then came a loud sonic boom, blood spilled from both ears, and the world fell silent.

Am I dead?

In the face of a life-or-death crisis, his mind went blank, with only this one thought remaining.

How can a dead person think? He quickly realized the key point: someone's arrow hadn't been aimed at him.

At that moment, he felt a warm touch on the back of his neck, and then his subordinate, with tears of relief, opened his mouth and said something to him, but he couldn't hear what he was saying.

He touched the back of his neck, held it up to his eyes, and saw that it was a piece of pinkish-gray flesh.

This is... brain!

The young man, who had the good fortune to have eaten pig brains, felt a chill run down his spine and suddenly looked back.

The general guarding the city stood there, clad in armor, exuding an imposing aura.

However, the Six Yang Leader had vanished without a trace.

"I'll fuck you!"

"die*****"

The horrifying scene completely robbed him of his ability to speak; his body went limp, and he collapsed onto the cold floor, motionless.

With such a terrifying enemy outside, let whoever wants to defend this city do so.

Anyway, he's not going to guard it anymore.

. . . . . .

Ji Chen was unaware that he had killed the commander of the South Gate with a single arrow. He had simply relied on his observation of the distribution of soldiers and officers before firing, following his instincts. As for the outcome...

No officers or soldiers dared to show their faces on the city wall anymore; isn't that the greatest achievement?

Ji Chen laughed heartily, then turned around and said in a booming voice:

"Pass the order: attack the city immediately, without delay!"

At this moment, no one dared to disobey his orders. His subordinates, along with the newly recruited confidants of Commander Liu, all wore expressions of pride.

This is their lord, their direct subordinate general!

"Charge!"

"Let's go into town and rob the hell out of them!"

. . . . . .

Ji Chen had only about 500 men under his command, but he managed to create the momentum of a thousand troops.

Seeing this, Ji Chen prepared to add fuel to the fire, mobilizing his entire body's energy and blood, and roared:

"The first to reach the summit will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold!"

These words caused a great uproar among the heroes.

His men responded with even greater enthusiasm, roaring and scrambling forward on the ladder, then scrambling to climb it, some even being pushed off the ladder in the struggle for a spot.

Li Cheng watched silently, unaware that his fingernails were digging into his flesh and drawing blood.

"Heh... Brother Dongsheng has indeed taken on a fine disciple!"

Thinking of the saintess's request, his eyes grew even deeper.

Based on these two arrows alone, it's practically impossible for Ji Chen to be caught in the enemy formation.

With such archery skills, charging into battle would be foolish.

Moreover, given Ji Chen's recent arrogant behavior, even if he strictly ordered him to charge into battle, Ji Chen would not agree, and might even have a complete falling out with him.

He ignored his hungry men's pleading eyes for his order to scale the city walls, and instead returned to his tent to write a letter.

"From the Holy Maiden:"

I have observed that Luo Jiao truly understands the teachings and possesses genuine talent...

...Now, with one arrow, Yueyang City is shaken; with two arrows, heroes are annihilated. The tide has turned, and if we cannot control it, we will be considered incompetent. What will happen next? Your Highness should make a decision soon, otherwise, if another incident occurs, the throne will fall into the wrong hands.

That's all I have to say; my grief and indignation are palpable.

Li Chengbai.

After encrypting the message multiple times with a secret code, Li Cheng urgently ordered his trusted confidant to deliver it to the headquarters.

Before he even got up and left the camp, he heard a deafening roar of cheers coming from outside.

As expected, the city fell after they left the camp.

Ji Chen's subordinates were of extremely high quality. After breaching the city gate, they even thought of their superior and did not directly enter the city to rob girls, gold and silver treasures. Instead, they pulled a tall horse for him and escorted him into the city.

The first thing Li Cheng saw when he came out was the scene where the Baiyang Sect's southern city army made way for the spirited Ji Chen, as if they were automatically diverting their flow.

"Previously, we could use his lack of seniority to suppress him and prevent him from leading troops on his own, but from now on, Lu Xiao, who has already established his prestige in the army, will be able to command troops on his own without anyone being able to stop him."

Li Cheng sighed inwardly, but his face was beaming with pride. He ordered his men to lead the troops into the city.

Yuezhou Prefecture, as a famous city throughout history, has accumulated countless riches, which cannot be allowed to be enjoyed by Ji Chen alone.

De~ De~ De~

Ji Chen, riding on the horse, seemed to sense something, but did not turn around.

At this moment, countless people were watching him. Although that person's gaze made him somewhat uncomfortable, it wasn't enough to make him paranoid.

Commander Liu stepped forward and said happily:

"Brother, the brothers are all waiting for your decision. We've controlled all the wealthy households in the southern part of the city; we'll make sure not a single bird can escape. What do you think?"

Ji Chen knew what he meant; it was simply about how to plunder.

If he hadn't established his authority within the team, these people would have been unable to contain themselves long ago.

He didn't have any particular problem with the sanctity of property, but he still took a cautious approach, saying:

"As long as they don't cause any trouble for the people, rob them of everything. Make them hand over 70% of their wealth, including land deeds and shops. If they can't, beat them as hard as you can. We said from the beginning that they could leave but not enter. Instead of fleeing earlier, they stayed in the city to act as Qing Ting's support. They deserve this calamity."

"But you better remember this: you can injure or cripple, but you absolutely cannot commit any crimes. If anyone does anything wrong or hides money, not only will their stolen portion be confiscated, but they won't get a share when it comes to dividing the spoils. In serious cases, their head will be chopped off!"

"Oh, right, remember to take some men and seize the armory. None of the brothers have a decent suit of armor yet."

Commander Liu, though serious, could not hide his excitement and said:

"Alright, I'll make sure it's done perfectly for you, brother."

Leaving aside Ji Chen and his men's Robin Hood-style robbing of the rich to help the poor, there were also several other city gates.

In the prefectural government office, Prefect Liu was filled with anxiety and sweat. Seeing a minor official rushing towards him, he could no longer bear the pressure and stepped forward to help him up.

"What's the situation at the south gate? Has it really been breached?"

A few minutes earlier, a fleeing soldier reported that the South City had been breached by the White Sun Sect. Prefect Liu was immediately thrown into a panic and hurriedly sent his trusted confidant to investigate.

But the news brought by his confidant filled him with utter despair.

"My lord, that sorcerer Lu Xiao of the White Sun Sect shot and killed General Nan outside the city. Morale has plummeted, and the White Sun Sect has taken advantage of this. Now the South Gate has completely fallen. My lord, the situation is critical. Let's escape!"

Prefect Liu's mind went blank, his vision went black, and he fainted from shock and anger.
