Chapter Thirty-two Conflict
Ye Chen and Ye Xue were blocked by the crowd from a distance, couldn't see very clearly, and what they heard was also unclear in the noise.
Ye Xue's face was filled with distress, what could they see from here? With three layers of people inside and three layers outside, she and her brother were squeezed to the outermost edge. They couldn't even hear the city master's words clearly, let alone see that so-called internal skill and martial arts moves!
Looking at Ye Xue's disappointed and frustrated appearance, Ye Chen smiled and patted Ye Xue's head, "Haha, little snow, it seems that we won't have the chance to see this ordinary technique for a while, let's go buy some things, and then meet with your brother Chen Tao later."
"Where's Brother Chen Tao? Didn't he come over here?" Ye Xue asked curiously.
"He went to buy some things and then left the city to wait for us!" Ye Chen decided to tell Ye Xue the truth.
Ye Xue stopped in her tracks after hearing Ye Chen's words, "Leave the city? Brother, are we going to escape from the city?"
"Yes, we need to escape the city, the demonic beast is coming to attack. It's very dangerous for you to stay in the city, let's go out and hide for now, and come back after the beast has passed!" Ye Chen said to Ye Xue.
"Are we people from different cities supposed to work together to fight against the monster?" Ye Xue looked at her brother in incredulity and asked.
Ye Chen's expression turned serious again as he listened to Ye Xue's words, and he looked at Xiao Xue with a painful glint in his eyes that flashed by in an instant before he said in a low voice: "No!"
Yexue's face darkened upon hearing Yechen's response, and she immediately lowered her head in silence. Yechen pulled Xiaoxue's hand and said softly, "Let's go!" Yexue remained silent, allowing Yechen to lead her away.
The two walked in silence, Ye Chen bought some compressed food that could last for a long time. As for water, it was not necessary to worry about it in the suburbs. After more than 100 years of natural purification, most of the water sources in the suburbs were directly drinkable.
Then Ye Chen bought some flying knives and other small weapons, all of which were for Ye Xue's safety. Then he bought some fire-attribute materials, even with five pieces of Flowing Flame Wood, it may not be enough, better to prepare in advance!
Then bought some miscellaneous things, Ye Chen packed a big bag, and then pulled Ye Xue back and forth, went home to clean up, and set off!
This road, Ye Xue was speechless, as if using silence to express her thoughts. Although Ye Chen knew what Ye Xue was thinking, he didn't open his mouth to explain it to Ye Xue. The two people just walked like this, Ye Xue silently tidying up everything. Although there was some reluctance in her heart, she had to choose between the entire city and her own brother, and Ye Xue still chose the latter!
For Ye Xue, her brother was her entire world. Losing the city might be survivable for herself, but losing her brother meant she knew she couldn't survive on her own!
It's just like abandoning a life of over ten years in this city, even though the city hasn't given her much help, Ye Xue still feels a pang of sadness!
Two people went on like this in silence, the madness outside seemed to be isolated from them, and it was so abrupt!
Although many ordinary people rushed to the city lord's mansion, there were also quite a few who went in the direction of the city gate. They didn't want to be attacked by monsters within the city walls and thought that Star City was definitely doomed. One by one, they didn't think it was worth resisting and simply ran away.
But when they reached the city gate, they were blocked from coming down. The guards held long spears and stood in a row, with the city gate tightly closed behind them, not allowing anyone to leave.
"Why won't you let me out? I want to go hunt and kill the demonic beasts. If you don't let me out, then feed me!" a robust young man loudly shouted at the guarding men.
"It's just that we're going out to hunt and kill monsters, are you saying that's not allowed either?" More people responded, no matter what, going out was the right way, as for whether it was really like this or not, it wasn't even considered by these people.
"Sorry, the city lord has ordered that no one is allowed to leave the city!" The guard said expressionlessly.
"What's the big idea?! This is our own business, why should the city lord interfere?! Stop stalling and open the gate to let us out!" Someone shouted loudly as they rushed forward. Following that, even more people charged forward!
"Don't push, one more push and we won't be polite! The city master has ordered, in urgent situations, we can behead first and report later!" The leading guard shouted loudly, sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Damn it, I'm in a hurry to leave the city, don't even mention the City Lord, even if Sword Emperor came, it wouldn't work." A more powerful voice came from a burly man's mouth, this time no one echoed, but they all looked at the burly man with admiration, too powerful, saying the City Lord was nothing, but who is the Sword Emperor? One of the founders of the five major cities! If he were here, would you still dare to speak like that?!
"Hmph!" The team leader, looking at the burly man rushing over, was also annoyed in his heart. The long spear in his hand suddenly stabbed out. The burly man was shocked and didn't expect that the other party would actually dare to make a move in public!
However, the sturdy big Han's hands were also good, although a bit unexpected, he could react in time, and the large sword in his hand was horizontally blocked by a shield in front of him.
Clang!
The two weapons collided, emitting a crisp sound. The sturdy big man's forward-charging footsteps were blocked, while the captain of the guard was knocked back three steps.
At that moment, a gap appeared in the entire long queue, although it was not big, but it gave people a glimpse of hope. The sturdy man burst out laughing and wanted to rush forward!
"Get back!" the captain of the guard shouted. The long spear in his hand emitted a buzzing sound, like a black electric spark, with a dazzling light, fully covering the sturdy big man from all four directions.
A sense of crisis suddenly struck his heart, the burly man abruptly stopped, and the giant sword also burst out with a faint light, like a god of war descending to slash down.
Both were fierce and ruthless, without changing their moves at all, completely a lose-lose battle, the sturdy big man and the team leader collided instantly.
This collision was more intense than the previous one, the long gun pierced the right shoulder of the sturdy man, and the great sword also chopped on the captain's body. The black combat uniform was torn apart in an instant, the great sword was embedded in the shoulder, and blood flowed down the great sword.
The two of them flashed out in an instant and attacked again, with one sword and one spear blocking the gap tightly, nothing could get through. More guards rushed over from this side, all looking at these people who wanted to leave the city with a fierce gaze, as if they would draw their swords at any moment.
These crowds who want to leave the city may have strong innate boundaries, but now they have never made a move. Apparently, these people are also watching and considering whether to really stay behind and defend the city together or rush out hard!
