My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 516 - 191: Blood Sacrifice in Liangzhou City, A Lone Army Enters the Great Desert_6

He had never intended to reach the Yin Mountain in this northern expedition. His greatest hope was simply to capture the area around the Agate River, which he would later use to breed warhorses for Dasheng.

Langjuxu Mountain...

It seemed far too distant.

"Let's deal with these people first!"

Angered, Cao Kai was ready to attack the Wushen Sect Leader and Deng Immortal with his sword.

"We dare to come here because we have something to rely on!"

Deng Immortal waved his hands, and array flags appeared in front of him, landing around the last living people and then a boundary appeared, enclosing them.

After several attempts,

Emperor Longqing felt that this boundary was somehow connected to the Blood Sacrifice Array above the Heavenly Dome.

"Don't waste your energy!"

Deng Immortal sneered, "Unless the Blood Sacrifice Array is broken first, this boundary will not be breached!"

They were directly harnessing the power of the Slaughter Vein's Evil Qi—an ability beyond what any inferior formation could match.

Simultaneously,

above their heads.

A black-red vortex formed above the dome, a swirling mass of crimson blood mist flying out, and as an Exotic Beast eagle encountered the mist, its flesh and bones dissolved into blood, all absorbed by the Array to become nourishment for the revival of the Slaughter Vein.

Once the blood mist filled the sky from above,

within Liangzhou City, both people and livestock would be sacrificed, their living beings obliterated!

"Cough cough cough..."

Sun Xiangzong's coughing worsened, forcing him to sit cross-legged on the ground to cultivate and recuperate.

"Life Gate, Life Gate."

Emperor Longqing muttered, "I cannot die here, nor is it possible for me to do so, since there is a Life Gate, it can definitely be opened. Capturing You State is next."

"Cheew—"

He called over Hai Dongqing, took out paper and a brush from the storage bag, and was about to give orders to the front.

Seeing this,

the Wushen Sect Leader, hiding within the boundary, jeered: "Cao Kai! Have you lost your mind? The boundary has been sealed; what do your troops have to use to get out?!"

This was precisely what Emperor Longqing was worried about.

According to the original plan, there were only eight hundred light cavalry outside at this time!

Mobilizing troops from other areas to You State was simply not feasible.

"Heh heh—"

In such a dire situation, the seated Sun Xiangzong could only sneer.

"Zizhan, why the cold laughter?"

Emperor Longqing said, "If we can't leave this place, you and I will both die here."

"I laugh at the Emperor who sits on the Dragon Chair in the capital controlling the life and death of others, having his moment of panic, truly a case of reaping what one sows! It's just a shame..."

Sun Xiangzong's tone suddenly grew harsher: "It's just a shame that you alone covet life and commit atrocities, yet millions of Liangzhou's citizens must die senselessly with you! Cao Kai, may you never find peace in death!"

"What happens in Yunzhou in the next ten days has nothing to do with me."

Emperor Longqing, unangered, let Hai Dongqing carry away the finished letter, his gaze deepening as he felt the Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand.

In the Dragon Abyss Sword, there still lay half a kingdom!

...

Inside Liangzhou City.

"Look!"

"Quick, look, what is that in the sky?!"

"..."

Such a huge anomaly; it wasn't just visible in Liangzhou, but could be clearly seen in the surrounding prefecture cities as well.

Above the Luotian Mountain Range,

within the vast dark clouds, a sudden pitch-black vortex appeared, strands of blood-red eerie mist fell from it, shrouding the entire sky like a giant blood-red bell trapping countless living beings inside.

"What's going on?!"

"..."

At the edge of the Great Wall.

Sixth Prince Cao Huan, Fang Qingyun, and several veteran generals personally came to see off the troops of Black Tortoise Camp and White Tiger Camp as they headed to battle.

Not long after the camps had departed,

a blood-red mist wall appeared between heaven and earth, about two li outside the edge of the Great Wall.

"This..."

"What kind of sorcery is this?!"

Cao Huan nervously said, "Quick, you go check it out!"

A soldier rode to the edge of the mist wall and out of curiosity, reached out his arm to touch it.

"Crrrrrack!"

"Ahhhh—"

In an instant,

the soldier's arm dissolved into blood water; he fell to the ground writhing and wailing.

"What?!"

Everyone on the wall, having witnessed this scene, was utterly horrified.

"It's a boundary."

Fang Qingyun, who was ever so knowledgeable, finally spoke: "It seems we are trapped."

"Trapped? What do you mean?"

Cao Huan could not understand, "This blood mist, can it really trap millions of people in Liangzhou?"

"Tweet—"

A Hai Dongqing flew in.

He hastily took off a letter.

"Father?"

Cao Huan, recognizing the very familiar handwriting, acknowledged it as his father's: "Father is in Liangzhou? When did he arrive?"

He read on.

The content was utterly terrifying.

To sum it up briefly,

if they could not, within the allotted time, find their way to You State and locate the special altar within the Luotian Mountain Range, millions of soldiers and civilians within Liangzhou City would all...

turn into blood water!

Just like that soldier just now!

"Ah!"

The screams continued.

The soldier, in agony, fell from his horse; even though only his arm had touched the blood mist, the rest of his body rapidly dissolved, spreading like a plague, and soon he was completely vanished!

A literal evaporation of a person!

"You State!"

The scene before him was too bizarre, beyond the understanding of ordinary people, but Cao Huan knew that to save his life and preserve Liangzhou City, he could only do as his father said.

"Quick!"

"Gather all the troops..."

He paused mid-sentence.

He suddenly froze.

Because he realized.

Where could they even escape to?

Inside Liangzhou City, there were more than a hundred thousand troops, most of whom were trapped in the city.

Now outside the Great Wall,

there were only Chen Sansi and Ji, leading the three camps, while the barbarian tribes in You State had as many as one hundred and fifty thousand troops!
