On the warship of Tianjin Port, a middle-aged man with blond hair, blue eyes, a short beard, and a cold face, who was wearing the uniform of a British general, immediately stood up from his seat when he heard the news.
"Damn it, who's the leader? Are they all good-for-nothings who eat sh * t? It must be a scheme by the Boxer Rebellion. Thousands of soldiers with rifles and numerous cannons could even blast demons into pieces. How could our army be defeated?”
"Marshal, the vanguard is led by Major General Bart!”
At this moment, the soldier who was reporting the situation in front of him replied loudly. After saying this, the soldier added,""Major General Bart has also died in the line of duty."
"How is this possible…"
As the commander of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Admiral of the British Navy, Simon was a man of talent. He knew his subordinate, Major General Bart, very well. He was a talented Major General, but now he had led thousands of soldiers and died in Beijing without any resistance.
The news began to spread all over the world along with the telegram, especially in countries like the United States, Britain, and France, which were part of the Eight-Nation Alliance. The first reaction they had when they received the telegram was absurd and unbelievable, followed by anger and doubt.
"How could anyone in this rotten eastern country kill thousands of well-equipped elite soldiers?”
" That good-for-nothing Simon doesn't even have the qualifications to be a marshal. Thousands of people died for no reason, and he actually pushed the blame to some devil. What a joke.”
"Men, send someone to investigate. Our soldiers must not die for no reason. Send a telegram to the British embassy. Our country is questioning the ability of your country's admiral to command. Also, we hope that they can explain the disappearance of hundreds of our soldiers.”
……
The next day, the news had already spread to every country in the world. Everyone was in an uproar and shock. They were not shocked that a god had appeared in the Qing Dynasty, but they were shocked and reprimanded for the incompetence of the Eight-Nation Alliance. Not only had they failed to attack a backward country, but they had also found such a ridiculous reason to question and impeach the commander-in-chief, Simon.
At this time, on the city tower of Beijing, Zhou Zhao sat cross-legged on the roof of the city tower, facing the morning glow that filled the sky. He kept breathing and exhaling. Purple clouds filled his mouth and nose, and gradually, even his Daoist robe began to be surrounded by wisps of purple clouds. He looked very sacred and otherworldly.
"This is a real deity descending into the world. He killed the foreign devil with a thunderbolt method. He's a true deity in the world!!”
"As expected of an immortal. Look, there's a purple glow around the immortal.”
"I heard that last night, the marshals of the Eight-Nation Alliance had already led twenty to thirty thousand soldiers through the night into the capital. It seemed that the immortals were waiting for them!”
……
Zhou Zhao's figure was not hidden at all. At this time, the people, Qing soldiers, and many martial arts practitioners who had not escaped from Beijing City gradually gathered in the city. They looked up at the young Taoist on the city tower, who was as divine as jade and holy. Their hearts were filled with excitement and excitement.
This scene would probably be unforgettable for the rest of their lives.
After another hour, the Eight-Nation Alliance Army finally appeared outside Beijing. They were wearing all kinds of military uniforms and carrying the flags of various countries. They carried all kinds of heavy weapons and surged towards Beijing like a tide.
At this moment, a few miles outside the city, the soldiers of the eight kingdoms stopped and began to use binoculars to observe the situation in Beijing. However, to their surprise, there were no traces of Qing soldiers guarding the city walls. The section of the city walls and gates that had been destroyed by the Eight-Nation Alliance yesterday had not been repaired at all.
This ancient city was like an empty and dead city. Marshal Simon did not even see anyone on the city walls. In the next moment, his gaze fell on the roof of the city tower, and his expression froze.
On the roof of the city tower, there was actually an Eastern Daoist sitting cross-legged, looking up at them.
"Could it be that there really is some Eastern Demon?”
Seeing this, Simon's heart skipped a beat. A ridiculous thought suddenly appeared in his mind. However, the few hundred soldiers who had managed to escape from Beijing did not know what had happened either. They only knew that in just an hour, the allied army had been covered in corpses. Looking at their injuries, it was extremely tragic.
Even the major general leading them had lost his life, which was why the hundreds of Eight-Nation Alliance Army soldiers had fled from Beijing in fear. In their eyes, if that wasn't a demon, what else could it be that could kill thousands of people in a short period of time without leaving any traces?
In addition, the Qing Dynasty had also said that a deity had descended to the mortal world and killed the foreign devil. Even though this matter was too absurd, Simon was still somewhat worried. Now that he saw a person guarding the city, his worries and suspicions became even clearer.
"Fire at the Eastern Taoist priests on the city gate tower!”
Seymour gave the order. No matter what kind of demon you were, a hundred cannons were not to be trifled with.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the sound of artillery fire resounded throughout the entire land. Smoke filled the air, and the city tower where the Taoist priest sat was instantly shattered.
"Charge!"
"Charge in! Even a demon would die under gunfire!”
Tens of thousands of the Eight-Nation Alliance Army charged towards the gap like a flood. However, at this moment, the alliance army that was the first to reach the gap discovered that the Taoist priest who had been bombarded by countless artillery fire had appeared out of thin air, unscathed.
A pair of silver-white wings with a diameter of nearly ten meters spread out behind the Daoist priest. The wings reflected the sunlight and shone brightly.
If someone could get close to Zhou Zhao and observe it carefully, they would have the chance to see that this pair of silver wings was actually made up of silver embroidery needles. They were densely packed and magnificent. This was the one Zhou Zhao had taken from the Heavenly World Clothing Shop.
"What is this?"
"Angel, the angel has descended!"
" There are angels in the East too!!!"
At this moment, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the allied army were all stunned by this scene.
Boom!
Just as the alliance army was in a state of shock, the pair of huge silver-white wings that flickered with a cold light suddenly scattered downwards, turning into specks of cold light that filled the sky.
