Chapter 2878 The affairs of the world are like the wind in the wind.
Previously, Pi Litian's "Shattered" ultimate move had indiscriminately shredded the surrounding friendly forces into pieces, so the Bega people dared not approach Longgang again, for fear of such indiscriminate mass casualties.
He Lingchuan moved his eyelids and noticed that the outside environment seemed to be somewhat bright.
Yes, the sun has risen.
There was still a breeze in the air, a cool breeze.
It gently brushed against his body, trying to take away his pain little by little.
The battlefield outside was still chaotic, but Panlong City's advantage had already expanded. Especially after Bili Tian's death, the Condensing Wind and Stagnation Formation that originally covered the entire battlefield also disappeared, allowing the Wind Demon and Tornado to sweep across the battlefield with impunity once again.
The Bega army, already demoralized and powerless to resist, could not withstand the rampaging wind demon. Then, they heard thunderous shouts from the Panlong army, shaking the heavens and earth:
"Bi Litian is dead! The Great Demon Bi Litian has been beheaded!"
To be honest, ever since Gao Huaiyuan's head was displayed, the Bega army has lost its will to fight. Now, upon hearing the news of the Great Demon's fall, they are somewhat numb.
They were shocked once when Bai Zhantian died, and from then on they knew that even the Great Heavenly Demon could be injured and die.
If another Pili Tian were to die, the fear in the Bega army would only deepen, morale would drop further, and the soldiers would retreat even faster.
The army collapsed like a house of cards, and its entire force was routed.
Against this backdrop, Menban and the others protected He Lingchuan, riding on the back of Lushan Bird Bai Like towards Panlong City, and soon encountered the Panlong Army that was pursuing them.
Upon seeing the Lushan bird descend from the sky, Xu Shichu strode out from the army, his eyes red with emotion.
"General Tiger Wing!" He was shocked to see He Lingchuan's condition, his expression shifting from ecstatic joy to astonishment. "You..."
The door panel cried out, "The general killed Bi Litian, but he too collapsed from exhaustion."
Xu Shichu quickly took out his hand to check the pulse. After pressing it a few times, his expression went from tense to shocked, and then became increasingly solemn.
Everyone gathered around, asking, "How is it?"
Xu Shichu pondered for a few moments before shaking his head sadly:
"The heart meridian has been severed; there is no way to save it."
Everyone was shocked, and Hu Min jumped up: "How is this possible!"
“He was already seriously injured.” Xu Shichu knew perfectly well how grim He Lingchuan’s expression was when he contacted Zhong Shengguang earlier.
Not only the king, but General Tiger Wing also devoted himself to today's battle, exhausting his last bit of strength.
His heart felt heavy, and he whispered in He Lingchuan's ear:
"General Tiger Wing, can you hear me?"
He Lingchuan didn't open his eyes, but his eyelids twitched slightly.
Xu Shichu deduced that he had heard him, and then choked up as he said, "We've won! General, the Bega army has been driven back! Panlong, Panlong City, have been saved!"
He, a man of steel, was now weeping uncontrollably.
He had thought tonight's battle would be the end of Panlong City.
Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a new beginning in life.
But it's too difficult, really too difficult.
"General Hong was intercepted by the Great Heavenly Demon Yan Shantian on his way back, which delayed him for a while, but the problem has been solved and he is on his way here! Lingshan leader Xiao Hanzi is fighting Potian on the north slope of Qingshan. It seems that Potian is the Great Heavenly Demon sent by Lingxu Saint Venerable as reinforcement."
"The king's wish, our wish..." Xu Shichu clenched his fists, forcibly controlling his excited emotions, "and your wish, they have all finally come true!"
He finally couldn't hold back his trembling voice as he uttered the last few words.
The civil and military officials standing nearby were also weeping uncontrollably.
After this battle, there's a 99% chance that Bega will give up on Panlong City. This is because the Demon Emperor Bega has broken with the Heavenly Demons, and his focus is now domestic, not international. The Spirit Void Gods have also missed their last chance to seize the Great Square Pot.
Those Lingxu who failed to seize the Great Square Pot lost their way to descend to the mortal realm.
"The human world is safe!"
Looking back on the road we've traveled, it's been a journey filled with thorns, blood, and sweat.
“I…” He Lingchuan’s lips suddenly moved, and Xu Shichu immediately raised his hand to silence everyone, then leaned in to listen carefully.
"Not yet..." Unlike everyone else here, He Lingchuan had one wish that had not yet been fulfilled.
Before killing Pi Litian, he was only focused on fighting;
After killing Bi Litian, although his body was on the verge of collapse, many thoughts surged in his mind.
He wasn't afraid of death, but it would be a pity to die like this.
"How long until dawn?"
Upon hearing these four words, Xu Shichu gently helped him up and made him face east.
Without anyone uttering a sound, the army in front automatically dispersed, not obstructing General Tiger Wing's view. He Lingchuan then saw that the hills to the east were already bathed in a rosy, warm glow, which looked quite comforting.
The sun is coming out.
This bloody, long, and desperate night has finally come to an end.
A brand new day has begun, and the world is filled with new hope.
He Lingchuan was also waiting.
Xu Shichu sought out the most potent elixirs, but these medicines, which were said to be able to heal flesh and bone and revive the dead, had no effect on him.
He Lingchuan is still persisting.
His wish had not yet been fulfilled, and he was unwilling to close his eyes like this.
Soon, rays of light shone through the sky, turning his pupils golden red.
He gazed intently eastward, as if looking towards a bright future.
Strange, why had he never thought before that sunrise was so beautiful and spectacular?
He suddenly realized that he had been so busy day after day for years that he hadn't felt this peaceful and tranquil in a long time.
This feeling of relief and joy far outweighed the physical torment and pain.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden commotion around him. Xu Shichu seemed to be speaking urgently in his ear, and the cheers of the crowd were deafening.
What happened?
His hearing was becoming increasingly blurry, and he couldn't hear what they were celebrating; all he could hear was the deafening sound of his own labored breathing.
Suddenly a strong wind blew by, from east to west.
He could feel the scorching heat of the wind, as if the wind on the wasteland was also excited.
He Lingchuan's eyes widened slightly because several banners suddenly appeared on the hills to the east, in the direction of the sunrise!
They fluttered in the wind, the main flag at the front as red as blood, bearing only one bold character:
wind!
Then, a horse took the lead and came rushing in.
It was so magnificent and agile, its iron hooves lightly touching the sand, each step covering fifteen zhang, faster than flying.
The knight on horseback wore a red helmet and red armor, and even the cloak fluttering behind him looked like a blood-red flag.
He Lingchuan was all too familiar with this figure:
Red General!
She's finally back!
He now understood why the Panlong Army around him was cheering.
After General Hong crossed the sand dunes, dozens of riders also appeared at dawn and galloped toward Panlong City.
The Great Wind Army returns riding the wind!
This scene inexplicably reminded He Lingchuan of the verse left to him by the great shaman Zhaomandu:
The affairs of the world are like the wind in the wind.
He chuckled. He had originally thought the Great Shaman's words were a reference to his battle with Shangguan Biao in the secret realm three years ago. Little did he know, they were most fitting for the present moment.
