Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 479 - 348: Rescue and Betrayal! (Double - )

Yang Zheng descended from the sky as his voice fell.

Descending swiftly, he swept out his spear, transforming into a trail of starlight that repelled dozens of Demons.

More than ten Demons were directly pierced by the Spear Qi, not even having time to take shape before they met their doom.

"You bastards, die for me!"

Xing Tiexin followed suit, landing forcefully with his large spear, smashing a Demon Commander into pulp.

"This is bad! The Human Race’s reinforcements have arrived!"

"Damn it, they supported so quickly! Retreat!"

The fierce debut of Yang Zheng and Xing Tiexin instilled terror in the Demon Crowd, prompting them to abandon their siege and attempt retreat.

However, as they turned their heads, they suddenly realized that they were surrounded by purple-golden Lotus Fire.

The Lotus Fire hovered around them, exquisite in appearance.

The surrounding temperature became abnormal with the arrival of these Lotus Fires.

"It’s a pity, you can’t leave now." Song Changming said in the sky, snapping his fingers.

Instantly, those floating Lotus Fires detonated in unison, the explosive force forming a continuous wave that engulfed the Demon Crowd.

With his Cultivation advancing, and enhanced Qi Refiner Traits, Song Changming could manipulate Gang Qi effortlessly, with great power.

If one’s flesh wasn’t sufficiently solid, they couldn’t withstand Song Changming’s firework display.

The explosion continued for half a minute before it ceased.

In the field, the weaker Demons were scattered and shattered, clusters of Demon Blood Qi were drawn towards Song Changming, sealed with Witch Refining Technique.

Though the strength of this Blood Qi wasn’t high, the quantity made up for it.

The remaining Demon Commanders were alive, but they all suffered varying degrees of injury.

Behind Song Changming, Generals flew swiftly downwards, surrounding the surviving Demon Commanders.

In the distance, two battalions of a thousand cavalry were rapidly approaching.

"Great! The reinforcements have arrived!" On the city wall, Meng Jianli and the officials breathed a sigh of relief.

These reinforcements arrived just in time.

If they hadn’t come today, they weren’t confident they could hold on until tomorrow.

The energy reserve for the City Defense Array was running low.

"Feng City is secure!" Meng Jianli released his tightly gripped fist hidden within his sleeve, exhaling deeply.

However, at that moment, a discordant voice sounded from behind him.

"What a pity, Lord City Mayor."

Meng Jianli’s heart skipped a beat, turning sharply.

It was a General stationed on the city head.

Under the helmet, a face that originally had no expression curved into a sinister smile.

His eyes emitted a black glow.

Meng Jianli met his gaze, his expression freezing, mind jarred for a moment.

He helplessly watched as the General thrust the Longsword into his chest.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a layer of white light burst forth from Meng Jianli’s chest.

It was a milky-white Jade Pendant, its runic luminescence manifesting.

Clearly, it was a Talisman.

Under the protection of white light, the fatal blade halted upon piercing his armor, unable to go further.

"Interesting, you have raised a good daughter, Lord City Mayor." The General seemed to understand the Talisman’s origin, his eyes flashing black as he gazed intently at Meng Jianli’s eyes.

"Throw it away."

Those words seemed imbued with magic power, and after hearing them, Meng Jianli in a daze obediently tore off the Protective Talisman and tossed it aside.

With the Talisman gone, the blade was unobstructed.

"Traitor!"

Outside the city, Song Changming heard a shout from the city wall and turned to look.

He saw the General withdraw the bloodstained Longsword, and the Feng City Lord collapse to the ground.

Song Changming was shocked.

What’s happening?

The crisis outside the city was resolved, but there was betrayal inside?

Song Changming wanted to go in and rescue, but the City Defense Array was still active, blocking his entry.

Amidst the soldiers encircling, the General who betrayed the city lord didn’t linger, swiftly dispatching a group of soldiers, breaking out effortlessly, and disappearing into the city.

"Close the Guarding Array!" Yang Zhen shouted, echoing powerfully, clear both in and outside the city.

Soon the array faded.

"Tiexin, lead your team to deal with the demons outside; Changming, come with me into the city to catch him."

Yang Zhen made his arrangements, and Song Changming promptly landed on the city head to see Meng Jianli barely hanging onto life.

Song Changming sensed, confirming that the city lord he had interacted with before was beyond saving.

The other party had no Martial Arts Cultivation, and now, with such severe wounds, not even an Immortal could help.

Meng Jianli’s stiff pupils moved, landing on Song Changming.

"Young hero, why is it you..."

Years had passed, yet Song Changming’s appearance hadn’t changed much, enabling Meng Jianli to recognize him immediately.

"What’s happened?" Song Changming asked, frowning.

"It was Flower Raccoon in disguise; alas, he succeeded. Young hero, please take care of my family, let the army escort them back to Cui Bai Main City.

Also, my final matters are written in this letter, please deliver it to Meng, the Meng Family, hand, hand it to..."

Finally, before finishing, Meng Jianli breathed his last.

Song Changming glanced at the letter in his hand and stored it in his Qiankun Bag, instructing Feng Xingzhuo to look after the city lord’s body.

Then he flew into the city.

With a single thought, Song Changming initiated spiritual waves from the little spirit within the Nether Sea, exerting no restraint in covering nearly the entirety of Feng City!

The divine light sparked in his eyes, with hardly any visible whites.

It was a sign of highly condensed Spiritual Power.

Song Changming flew over the city, scanning around as if his eyes were radar.
