Lin Qiye didn't know if Chloe would help him, because after all, Chloe wasn't Han Chinese.
Given the current situation, if she had a choice, Lin Qiye felt she would be more likely to use her accumulated faith to save the people of her country rather than waste it on the Han Dynasty.
However, Lin Qiye was certain that Fang Si would not refuse him.
Because it won't happen two thousand years from now, nor will it happen now two thousand years ago!
Chapter 563 Too slow
After Lin Qiye spoke, Chloe was about to agree when she saw Fang Si staring silently at Lin Qiye, who was staring at her.
Upon seeing this, she paused, feeling unsure whether to agree or not.
Just as Chloe hesitated, Fang Si nodded.
"Okay, I can give you a ride."
Upon hearing that Fang Si had agreed to help, Lin Qiye's face immediately lit up with a smile.
"Old Fang, these fallen fragments are now divided into three directions: east, west, and center. The most fragments fell in the east, a total of six. Therefore, I would like to ask you to take me to the east."
Upon hearing Lin Qiye's words, Fang Si nodded.
As soon as the thought arose, he sent Lin Qiye to the east.
After seeing Lin Qiye off, Fang Si checked his own mental energy consumption.
Although it was an ultra-long-distance teleportation, it actually didn't consume much of his energy; it only cost him about seven percent of his mental strength.
Compared to the covenant, which requires an irreplaceable expenditure of faith each time it is activated, the mind is indeed much more convenient.
After seeing Lin Qiye off, Huo Qubing wanted to ask Fang Si for help to teleport it to the east side to stop the fragments.
However, before he could speak, Chloe spoke first.
"Leave the west side to me."
Without waiting for Huo Qubing and the others to refuse, she directly concluded the Holy Covenant.
As Chloe disappeared in a flash of light, Huo Qubing raised his hand, but ultimately lowered it.
There's no other reason than that there are only three locations where the fragments have fallen within the territory of the Great Han Dynasty. Currently, the two locations with the most fragments have already been taken care of, so he naturally cannot leave this place, since no one is taking care of the fragments here yet.
Although Fang Si's realm had also reached its ceiling, Huo Qubing did not consider letting Fang Si take over, because Fang Si had only recently broken through the ceiling and his realm was not yet particularly stable.
Therefore, after much thought, it is still the most appropriate person to take charge.
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Huo Qubing didn't delay any longer. He directly manipulated the forbidden void to soar into the sky, heading straight for the three fragments.
Everyone who witnessed this scene sighed in amazement.
"The Marquis and his men are truly beyond human comprehension..."
“Essentially speaking, the seventh step after the sixth step is indeed no longer entirely human; it's like having one foot in the realm of gods.” Gongyang Wan murmured, watching Huo Qubing soaring through the sky.
Listening to everyone's words, Fang Si glanced at the clouds in the sky that had been blown apart by Huo Qubing's forbidden energy, and remained silent.
Huo Qubing was indeed powerful. Even though he had already reached the seventh step, people would still feel some pressure when facing him.
However, despite the pressure, Fang Si is not afraid if a real fight breaks out. After all, his Forbidden Ruins are indeed more omnipotent than the Emperor Dominator, and in some ways, he is even superior to the Emperor Dominator.
As they watched Huo Qubing's figure in silence, Yan Zhong suddenly frowned and said something.
"Hey everyone, haven't we forgotten something?"
Everyone was taken aback, then Fang Si frowned.
"It's Kusun. We were so focused on the red star in the sky that we forgot our original purpose: to intercept Kusun."
Upon hearing Fang Si's words, everyone was startled. Gongyang Wan then leaped onto the roof of the temple and gazed into the distance.
As mentioned before, their position was actually quite close to Kusun, and with the added advantage of being at a higher vantage point, Gongyang Wan's eyesight was further enhanced.
Under such circumstances, with her eyesight, she could indeed see a phantom shrouded in a colorful mist, charging towards the distant city.
Gongyang Wan's face immediately darkened.
"Oh no, he's almost inside the city, and judging by the size of the city in that direction, it seems to have a large population..."
"It's Xicheng!" Yan Zhong interrupted before Gongyang Wan could finish speaking.
Unlike Gongyang Wan and Fang Si, who were unfamiliar with the distribution of cities due to their backgrounds, Yan Zhong, as Huo Qubing's strategist, knew a great deal, including the distribution of cities.
Upon hearing Yan Zhong's words, both Zhan Yuwu and Hu Jia's expressions changed.
Although they didn't know the exact location of Xicheng, they had all heard of it, as it was a famous trading city located on the border.
"Damn it, we can't let him in, or there will be a bloodbath!" Zhan Yuwu was so excited that he was about to rush over to stop Kusuen's advance, but before he could take two steps, Fang Si forcibly fixed him in place with his mind.
He looked at Zhan Yuwu, whose face showed anxiety and confusion, and calmly cursed.
"madness.
What did you intend to do in the past? To stop Kusun? What made you think you could stop him? Your passion? Or your fifth-realm strength?
As he spoke, Fang Si walked up to him and stared into his eyes, which were filled with rising anger.
"Even gods can copy this thing. How dare you, a mere mortal, try to stop it?"
If you truly want to rescue people, then your next task isn't to stop this thing, but to find a way to evacuate the residents of the western city.
Now that things have come to this, Fang Si is already a seventh-step expert, an absolute peak combat power in this era. Therefore, he no longer needs to feign politeness with Zhan Yuwu and the others, and directly reverts to his usual nature.
The value of life lies in the ability to choose according to one's heart.
At this moment, listening to Fang Si's words, he was initially angry because Fang Si had stopped everyone from stopping Kusun, but after listening to the rest, he felt that Fang Si's words were quite reasonable.
Therefore, everyone nodded in agreement with his plan.
Just as everyone was about to run over, Yan Zhong suddenly remembered that Fang Si could teleport people, and immediately spoke to Fang Si.
"Fang... Old Fang, could you use the Forbidden Ruins to teleport us there? That would save some time. Otherwise, if we have to rely on our own strength, by the time we arrive, Kusuon will probably be at our gates."
Fang Si did not object to Yan Zhong's request. After all, their strength was different from Lin Qiye's. Teleporting someone like Lin Qiye, who was at the seventh realm, would require seven percent of his spiritual power, but teleporting them would cost less than 0.7 percent.
With a wave of his hand, Fang Si's crimson cloak billowed in the wind, and a dazzling white light instantly enveloped everyone, sweeping them away and flashing them into a distant city.
Upon arriving in the city, and seeing that Kusuen was less than a hundred miles away, the group immediately disregarded any procedures and began to forcibly drive him away.
Whether it was disguising themselves as demons to scare away the residents, or threatening and bribing them with weapons, they used any means to make them leave the West City.
However, although they were already driving them away quite quickly, in Fang Si's eyes from the city wall, it was still too slow...
Chapter 564 There are plenty of kind people, as long as I'm the only bad one.
The residents of the West City are just ordinary people. Even if they run as fast as they can, how fast can they go?
Moreover, a city contains not only young and strong people, but also the elderly, the weak, women and children.
Young and energetic people can run, but how can people who can't run run?
This distance of a hundred miles would take mortals several days to travel, but for a god like Kusun, it would only take a moment.
(Here, "a quarter of an hour" refers to fifteen minutes.)
In Fang Si's eyes, although Kusu'en's movement speed was limited due to the constraints imposed by the Kunlun Realm, the limitation was rather weak.
His movement speed remains terrifyingly fast.
Fortunately, Fang Si didn't have to face him alone, because Huo Qubing had already dealt with the fragments of the Crimson Star in the sky. Seeing the situation here, he transformed into a streak of red light and rushed over.
Seeing this, Fang Si waved his hand and pulled Huo Qubing from mid-air to his front.
Although this action saved time, Huo Qubing, trying it for the first time, almost bumped into the city wall.
After regaining his balance, he turned to Fang Si beside him and asked.
"how is the situation?"
Fang Si glanced at Kusuon and remained silent for a moment.
"The situation is not good. When we first arrived, we had about fifteen minutes left, but now we probably only have about half a quarter of an hour left."
Half an hour, or seven minutes.
Although Huo Qubing arrived at top speed, some delays were still unavoidable.
After all, dealing with those fragments wasn't an easy task.
Upon hearing Fang Si's words, Huo Qubing gripped his silver spear and looked at the rapidly approaching Kusuon in the distance, asking in a deep voice.
Have all the residents been evacuated?
Even without prior communication with Fang Si, he knew they had definitely evacuated the civilians first, because that was the right thing to do.
Fang Si shook his head.
“The number of people in the city, though not hundreds of thousands, is certainly over ten thousand. How could such a large number be moved in a short time, especially with this kind of forced relocation method?”
Huo Qubing remained indifferent, then turned to Fang Si and asked.
"Since you can move Qiye and me, you can surely move these civilians as well. How about it, could you use your ability to move them all to a safe area?"
Fang Si glanced at Huo Qubing and asked.
How far is considered safe?
"It's safest to travel a hundred miles away," Huo Qubing replied.
"My lord, you overestimate me." Fang Si shook his head, rejecting Huo Qubing's suggestion. "Although because they are mortals, the effort I expend in moving them will be much less, my lord, you must understand that this is not about one or two people, but about ten thousand!"
As he spoke, Fang Si turned to look at Huo Qubing and said.
"At this scale, let alone a hundred miles, even a mile would completely deplete my mental energy, so it is simply impossible."
Hearing Fang Si's words, Huo Qubing fell silent and began to think rapidly.
Given Kusun's speed, a distance of one mile is not much different from not teleporting at all. Therefore, rather than letting Fang Si waste his mental energy on something insignificant, it would be better to conserve our strength and go with him to intercept Kusun later.
At this moment, Fang Si, who was deep in thought about Huo Qubing, had another plan in mind.
In fact, with his current strength, moving these people a mile away would be no problem at all, since they were just ordinary people.
As for the claim that his mental energy was completely depleted, that was obviously an exaggeration on his part.
Even if he were to move a hundred miles, let alone one mile, it would only consume about twenty percent of his mental energy, roughly equivalent to three Qiyes.
The reason Fang answered in this way was mainly because he didn't want to save her.
In Fang Si's view, what good is saving so many people?
Thousands of people, even tens of thousands, cannot compare to Huo Qubing alone.
Although Huo Qubing didn't say it explicitly, Fang Si wasn't stupid. How could he not see that he was going to step in and stop Kusuen?
When facing an opponent of the level of Kusun, making him expend his mental energy to save these insignificant ordinary people beforehand is just putting them in danger.
That's why he rejected Huo Qubing's proposal without hesitation.
At this moment, Huo Qubing, who had been deep in thought, also looked up at Fang Si and said solemnly.
"Now that Fang is dead, time is of the essence. I will not waste any more words. No matter what your considerations are, I will go down to intercept Kusuen and we must not allow him to enter the city and wreak havoc."
I do not ask you to use forces beyond your capacity to save these people; I only hope that you can lend a helping hand to them within your own capabilities.
This time, consider it a favor I owe you. If I survive this battle, you can ask for anything you want, as long as it doesn't endanger the common people.
Huo Qubing wasn't stupid; after all, he was the renowned Marquis of Champion.
From the moment Fang Si advanced to the peak of the sixth realm, he understood that Fang Si was no longer simply a centurion under his command.
Therefore, he naturally wouldn't treat Fang Si with a commanding tone, but rather from a personal perspective, hoping that Fang Si could lend a helping hand to the common people.
After saying this, Huo Qubing didn't wait for Fang Si's reply and jumped off the city wall, heading towards Kusuen, ten miles away.
Now that Kusuen is very close to the West City, Huo Qubing had no time to say anything more and could only go ahead to stop it.
Fang Si remained silent for a moment after hearing Huo Qubing's words.
Without compromising his own safety, he wouldn't mind saving others, since although he was selfish, his values weren't fundamentally flawed.
After a moment of silence, he looked at Huo Qubing, who was charging towards Kusun while activating the Forbidden Ruins and opening the [Crimson Emperor Blood], and sighed.
To be honest, in this world, the fewer people like him, the better; while people like Huo Qubing and Lin Qiye should be more and more.
