Chapter 51 Tragic!
Chapter Fifty-One: Devastating!
Seeing his lieutenant being swallowed up, Ye Ru's body stiffened instantly, trembling with rage.
"This is war...this is war..."
"Who says women are inferior to men! I'll give my life to buy time for the arrival of the Half-Saint!"
A woman ran out of Yunguan City and quickly disappeared into the horde of demons.
"Heroines..."
Ye Ru took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly, and his face was as ferocious as a wild beast.
"kill!"
It was as if he was venting all his anger, watching his comrades die one by one while he could do nothing, which filled him with grief and indignation.
"My life is worth two breaths! Brother Ye Ru, remember to tell my parents in my hometown that I can only repay this great kindness in my next life!"
Suddenly a figure appeared, brandishing a long spear and charging forward, stabbing it into the demon's body. But the demon only felt pain for a moment before swallowing the young soldier whole.
This scene caused Ye Ru's body to stiffen abruptly, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
"don't want……"
"He said he wanted to make a name for himself and take care of his parents in their old age... He said he wanted to build a big house for his wife. He said..."
Ye Ru reached out, as if trying to grab something, looking at the robe with only a corner left and the steamed bun on the ground stained with mud, and muttered to himself.
"My name is Song Weimin. My father hopes that I can protect my country and defend my home..."
"I just got married yesterday, and she's so beautiful..."
"The money I earned from joining the army this time will all go to my wife, and I also need to take care of my parents in their old age and see them off when they pass away..."
"Are you hungry? I've been holding back on these two steamed buns, but you can have them."
……
Ye Ru looked at the steamed bun, and tears streamed down his face. Scenes from the march flashed before his eyes. His honest but righteous brother had died in the mouth of a demon.
"If I become a saint, I will surely kill all the demons in the world!"
Ye Ru let out a long howl, the grief and indignation in his voice seemingly able to pierce through the clouds.
"I will fight with you!"
An elderly scholar, watching his comrades die one by one in a tragic manner, turned red in the eyes and, filled with grief and indignation, thrust his sword at the demon.
"Me too! As long as the Half-Saint arrives, we will surely avenge this!"
Another scholar also shouted, his body rapidly aging, and his loyal heart appeared, transforming into his strongest poem, which blasted onto a demon.
They knew that their only option now was to fight to the death.
Ye Ru, wielding a bronze sword, used his limited talent to protect himself, fighting left and right with each strike, and several wounds appeared on his body.
boom!
Chen Yuanxue was struck in the chest by a demon king, and his flesh was torn apart, exposing the bloody bone.
"Become our meal!"
The demon king glared menacingly at Chen Yuanxue before lunging forward.
"General, be careful!"
Upon seeing this, Ye Ru immediately drew his sword and charged forward, intending to protect Chen Yuanxue, but was directly blasted away by the demon king's aura.
"Since you want to die, I'll eat you first!"
The demon king turned to look at Ye Ru, sneered, and tried to devour him.
Those claws were extremely ruthless. If they had struck Ye Ru directly, they would have taken his life immediately!
"I never imagined that in this second life, I would fall into the hands of these demons..."
Ye Ru sighed inwardly, a bitter smile playing on his lips. In this situation, no one could help him.
clang!
The claws slashed down, but just as they were about to grab Ye Ru's heart, a voice like a sage's admonition, like the tolling of a bell, resounded throughout the world.
"With my unwavering loyalty and the power of the Great Wall, I will vanquish the demons!"
The sound lingered, seemingly ancient, emerging from nothingness, and then a giant, endlessly winding dragon appeared.
A giant dragon coiled in the clouds, its cold eyes gleaming with majesty, with the Great Wall stretching for thousands of miles on its back.
The next moment, it roared, and the sound materialized, piercing through the demon king and instantly shattering it.
The other demon soldiers and generals also stared wide-eyed, their hearts filled with terror. As they fled in all directions, their bodies exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
This scene stunned all the soldiers for a moment, and then they cheered loudly.
Their journey from death to life undoubtedly made them appreciate the preciousness of life even more, and countless people embraced each other, weeping with joy.
"saved……"
Ye Ru breathed a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground.
"Half-Saint!"
"Half-Saint!"
A thundercloud appeared in the sky, and then Su Wenmo, a half-saint of the Yanhuang Kingdom, arrived on auspicious clouds, hovering in the air, where he was knelt before the people.
"Thanks to you for holding Yun Pass, Chen Yuanxue, you deserve the greatest credit."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanxue quickly shook his head:
"My Lord Half-Saint, the one who guarded this Cloud Pass is not a servant, but the scholar Ye Ru, who created a world-renowned war poem, which is why he was able to hold off this Cloud Pass for a short while until my Lord Half-Saint came to the rescue."
"Oh? Who is the scholar Ye Ru?"
Su Bansheng looked around and said softly.
"A student."
Ye Ru said respectfully.
"Excellent! To be able to create world-renowned war poems even at the level of a mere child scholar shows a limitless future."
Upon seeing Ye Ru, Su Wenmo nodded in admiration:
"You deserve the greatest credit. We will report this to the Emperor and he will promote you to a higher rank and appoint you as a captain. Others will be rewarded according to their merits."
Su Wenmo nodded, drawing envy from many soldiers.
They might spend their entire lives and only ever become a minor general, while the other side became a captain after just one battle.
"I want to take the imperial examination."
Ye Ru's expression changed and he said, "If I join the army, I can only take the imperial examination after I retire."
This is not what he wants.
"Due to the invasion of demons on the border, the imperial examinations have been suspended. Yun Pass has now fallen, and you must stay here to guard it and rebuild it."
Su Wenmo shook his head and said.
This made Ye Ru's heart skip a beat, and then he could only say helplessly:
"The student obeys."
"Alright, leave the rest to me. They want to invade our Yanhuang territory, so we must be prepared for total annihilation. I will go and kill all the demons that invade Yun Pass."
Su Wenmo nodded, then looked south towards Yunguan Pass. His killing intent permeated the world, and even the sky was filled with thunderclouds, as if a storm was about to break.
The next moment, Su Wenmo produced a sheet of Xuan paper and a paintbrush in his hand, and with a few strokes, painted a huge thunder dragon.
The final stroke landed on the eye of the thunder dragon, and the former seemed to come alive, stretching for tens of feet, soaring straight into the sky, coiling in the heavens, blotting out the sun.
The next moment, he slammed his fist down on the distant demon camp.
In an instant, no one survived the demon camp, and the ground was transformed into a sea of lightning, causing many soldiers to swallow hard, their faces filled with horror.
"So this is the power of a demigod? Zhan Hua, the finishing touch..."
Ye Ru clenched his fist, looking at the thunderous power brewing between heaven and earth in the distance and the sea of thunder below, a burning desire also appeared in his eyes.
Although he is currently only a student, he will strive to achieve the literary rank of semi-saint.
No matter how difficult the journey may be.
All for the sake of peace for humanity.
