The figure stomped his feet and jumped up.
It actually transformed into a white-furred fox in the air.
"Ah!"
The fox shouted in the air," You actually learned how to complain. See if I don't eat you!"”
Little Five looked up and saw a fox pouncing at him. He was instantly shocked.
"I…I didn't, I was just telling the truth, you…don't come over!”
Although he was afraid, he still kept his mouth shut.
Tang Jiu smiled when he saw this. Su Fu had teased it quite a bit over the years." Alright, stop teasing it. Look at how scared it is. It almost grew bigger."”
"Oh!" Su Fu pouted her lips." Sir, the price of raw materials, rice, oil, and salt has been rising rapidly recently!”
"Oh?" Tang Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly." Increase the price? How much can it increase?"
"A bundle of green onions was sold for twenty coins!”
Tang Jiu was a little surprised." It actually increased by so much?”
"I heard that there was a war, so the price has increased.”
Tang Jiu was slightly taken aback." War? The Great Zhou Empire had unified the six states. Why would there be a war?”
Su Fu nodded." I don't know. I only know that if the prices continue to rise like this, we won't have money to eat!”
"I wonder what Little Five can do for you.”
Su Fu patted its head." What can you do with your clumsy hands?”
No. 5 thought for a moment." It seems so!”
"Right, Sir, I remember now. It seems that the human border was attacked.”
"Monster race?" Tang Jiu frowned. He remembered that his master had died in the battle against the demons.
She did not know when she would be able to collect his corpse.
This demon race really did not mind too many things. Every few decades or centuries, they would be restless and harass the human border in an attempt to kill their way into the Central Plains.
It was as if this had already become a habit. The people of the Central Plains were used to it and did not care too much.
It was like a girl visiting a relative. She would come every once in a while.
After a long time, people did not care so much.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a few years had passed.
On this day, Tang Jiu stood on a tall mountain outside the small town, his gaze overlooking the entire town.
Today, a piece of news reached the town.
Dragon Rise Army Commander Chen Xiaozhi led the Dragon Rise Army to search the Great Wall and died in battle!
The Dragon Rise Army that he led was completely annihilated.
This news came from an injured cultivator who had returned from the border.
It was said that it was an ambush set up by dozens of mighty figures and 100,000 elite demons.
The Dragon Rise Army fell into an ambush.
They fought bloody battles with the demons and fought to the death. In the end, they died in battle.
Before Chen Xiaozhi died, he only said one sentence," I lived for the human race, and I will fight for the human race. I will fight to the death and not retreat. I will kill until I breathe my last breath and shed my last drop of blood."”
After his death, the demons hung his corpse outside the Great Wall to humiliate the humans.
Some cultivators couldn't stand it and wanted to take his body back. However, now that the demon race had risen and was extremely powerful, the cultivators who went either didn't return or returned with serious injuries.
After hearing this news.
Tang Jiu frowned as he looked in the direction of the Great Wall. The person he had single-handedly promoted and valued the most was dead.
However, his death was heavier than Mount Tai. He had done too much for the Great Zhou Empire and the human race.
On this day, Tang Jiu sat motionless on the mountain for an entire day.
Until now, there were many things that he could not remember clearly.
He found information about Chen Xiaozhi from his memories. He still remembered the day he was selected for the Dragon Rise Army, which was also the day he first met Chen Xiaozhi.
At that time, he was only eleven or twelve years old. Because of the war, the mountains and rivers were shattered. He was homeless and did not have enough to eat all year round. He was like a bag of bones.
He still remembered the first time Chen Xiaozhi put on his armor. He held a weapon that did not match his height at all and stood there shakily.
It was as if a gust of wind could blow him down, but his eyes were still like torches and his back was straight.
Tang Jiu couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. At that moment, he realized that Chen Xiaozhi's eyes were as sharp as a wolf's, as if they could kill.
Tang Jiu walked up to him and asked," Where's your family?”
"Family?" Chen Xiaozhi was stunned for a few seconds. It had been a long time since someone had mentioned this word to him." My father went to the army and went to the battlefield. He never came back. He probably died in battle.”
"What about your mother?"
Tang Jiu asked again.
Chen Xiaozhi seemed unwilling to bring up this topic. After a while, she replied," She…went to a brothel.”
"Since you know that people will die on the battlefield, why did you join the army?”
Chen Xiaozhi answered without hesitation," I can eat my fill!”
"What else?"
He hesitated for a few seconds." I don't want war. I want peace, but peace is built on war. Only when the country is strong can there be peace.”
Tang Jiu nodded. He really couldn't figure out what an eleven or twelve-year-old boy had experienced to say such a thing.
"Do you have any dreams?"
"Dreams?" Chen Xiaozhi said," If possible, I want to have a home in a peaceful country. I want to be able to eat my fill so that my children and grandchildren can also eat their fill and not be invaded by war.”
"Very good!"
Tang Jiu nodded and decided to promote Chen Xiaozhi.
The memories ended here.
Tang Jiu sat on the mountain peak for an entire day. In the end, he decided to head to the Great Wall and bring Chen Xiaozhi's body back.
On the other side.
Great Wall of Humanity, border.
Looking from afar, the tall city wall looked like a giant dragon that stretched to half of World's End, lying there quietly.
This was the Great Wall of the Human Race, which had a history of tens of thousands of years.
As for the origin of the Great Wall, there were many versions.
The most popular one was built to resist the demons.
At this moment.
Outside the city wall was a vast and endless demon army.
There were so many of them that one could not see the end of them. They were like carps crossing the river.
This was the largest invasion of the demon race against humans in history.
It was formed by dozens of demon mighty figures and millions of demons.
The tragic situation of this battle had already exceeded the imagination of both sides.
It was also after learning that the Great Zhou Empire had unified the Central Plains that the demons plotted this unprecedented invasion.
The demons attacked desperately while the humans defended desperately.
Once the battle started, it couldn't be stopped easily.
Countless living beings were reduced to ashes in this battle. Lonely souls and wild ghosts floated in the sky. Corpses littered the ground and blood flowed like rivers. It was as if there was only blood between the sky and the earth.
Wails could be heard everywhere. A powerful sword cultivator used his natal sword to fight several demons. In the end, his natal sword shattered and he died.
Some body cultivators relied on their powerful bodies and the Five Lightning Heaven Heart Mantra to perish together with hundreds of small demons.
There was a Fist Monk who practiced the Great Sun World Cleansing Spell to kill thousands of demons with his fists.
After the Dragon Rise Army was wiped out, this battle began a grand defense of the Great Wall.
Tens of thousands of demons flooded toward the Great Wall, launching a full-scale assault.
Looking around, the mighty demon soldiers were unafraid of death, and there was an atmosphere of not returning until the Great Wall was broken.
"This is a road of no return to the Yellow Springs. Please follow me to kill the demons and protect the human race.”
A spear cultivator slowly rose into the air. His spear shone with a cold light as he pointed it at the demon army.
Unfortunately, the hero was in his twilight years. Under the repeated attacks of the demons, the cultivators kept dying.
They did not care about their own safety and moved forward courageously, only to protect the brightly lit area behind them, only for the prosperity of the human race and for there to be successors.
Moonlight shone down from the sky like a barrier or a peerless divine sword. It tore through the earth and split the Great Wall into two.
As the snowflakes fell, a cultivator reached out to catch one of them. That weathered face looked up slightly and realized that it was snowing. It was the arrival of a new year.
"Puff!"
A soldier who was on the verge of death spat out a mouthful of blood. At the last moment of his life, he looked behind him. The mountains were separated, and thousands of houses were brightly lit. It was peaceful.
Before he died, he only said," Mother, I'm unfilial!”
Their lives were written off in history, leaving only a good story behind.
Perhaps later generations would only call them revolutionary martyrs and heroes of the human race.
However, no one could deny their contributions to the human race.
This was because the flag of the Great Zhou Empire was dyed red with their blood.
There was only one most beautiful color in the world-red.
On this night, a figure walked over under the moonlight. Everywhere he looked, there were corpses everywhere.
No one noticed how the figure stepped onto the tall city wall, and no one paid attention to his arrival.
He took a deep breath of the air that reeked of blood, raised his right hand high into the sky, and shouted," One Sword, Open Heaven's Gate."”
After saying that, his right hand landed heavily.
"Swoosh!"
As soon as he finished speaking, violent sword qi filled the entire sky.
Like the bright moon, it illuminated the entire world.
