Chapter 43 Gu Liuli and Xiao Jingchuan use a mysterious weapon to kill the enemy general!
Just then, a thunderous and awe-inspiring shout suddenly came from behind Gu Liuli and the others: "Your Highness, we are willing to join you in swearing to defend Ningguta to the death! As long as the tower stands, we live; if the tower falls, we die!" It turned out that those who made this heroic vow were Mu Zetian, Wang Guangrong, and the others. They knew that behind them were countless families, and the reason these brave and fearless men stepped forward was simply to protect the safety of their loved ones.
They gripped their seemingly harmless, rudimentary tools tightly, yet their eyes shone with unwavering determination. Looking at these men, united in purpose and working together, Gu Liuli felt a surge of indescribable sorrow. She knew all too well that this battle would be exceptionally fierce, but she was also deeply moved by their selfless and courageous spirit.
"Fine, fine... Since that's how it is, then I'll accept this system mission!" Gu Liuli silently made a decision in her heart and said to herself, "Mission officially started! Let us do everything in our power to protect this land and the people who live here! Even if we ultimately pay a heavy price, we will not hesitate!"
Xiao Jingchuan turned to Jiang Yiche, who was riding on horseback, and said, "I advise you to go back and tell your emperor that if you continue to attack Ningguta, I will definitely raze your Xijing Kingdom to the ground!"
The burly man on horseback said, "Who are you? Who gave you the audacity to kill two of our men!"
Without any hesitation, Xiao Jingchuan replied directly: "Xiao Jingchuan! The Crown Prince of Nanzhao!"
Unexpectedly, the people below reacted with horror upon hearing this, then burst into uncontrollable laughter: "Hahaha! The Crown Prince of Nanzhao! Do you think we're fools to be fooled? I've heard that the Crown Prince of Nanzhao is a cripple suffering from a deadly poison. Young brother, I advise you, even if the Crown Prince is crippled, you'd better not pretend. I've heard that guy is a ruthless demon who kills without batting an eye!"
At this moment, a junior general from the enemy country stepped forward and said to Jiang Yiche, "General, I heard that the crown prince of Nanzhao Kingdom has been deposed and exiled to Ningguta. Could it be that..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yiche took a deep breath, his eyes turning fierce: "You really are Xiao Jingchuan! The Crown Prince of Nanzhao? And the one who attacked Beiluan and hung the head of the Beiluan emperor on the city wall!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Liuli looked at the man beside her with bright eyes, thinking to herself that he truly was the man she had her eye on!
Just as Xiao Jingchuan was about to meet Jiang Yiche in person, Gu Liuli stopped him. Everyone saw that Gu Liuli produced a sword from somewhere. This sword was the reward given by the system when the mission was completed, named Tianluo Sword!
Mu Zetian showed great interest in the sword upon seeing it.
Just as the enemy chieftain rose in a fit of rage, Gu Liuli blocked Xiao Jingchuan's hand with her sword. Xiao Jingchuan leaped into the air, and the Heavenly Net Sword seemed to sense the surging killing intent, vibrating with a buzzing sound.
This sword has a long, slender blade, its entire body as black as ink staining the night sky, yet it also has hidden flowing patterns, resembling mysterious star trails.
The hilt of the sword is carved with ancient and intricate patterns, resembling some kind of long-lost incantation, emitting a faint, cold light, and is icy to the touch, penetrating straight to the heart.
Fine ice crystals condensed on the sword sheath, reflecting an eerie light in the flickering light within the tent, as if concealing endless killing intent.
In an instant, the bugle sounded, its echoes resounding through the sky, shattering the cold silence of the icy plain. The enemy surged out of their tents like a tidal wave, their horses' hooves crushing the snow and kicking up countless shards of ice.
In that instant, the enemy chieftain's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he swiftly swung his sword, meeting Xiao Jingchuan's Heavenly Net Sword head-on. In that instant, the Heavenly Net Sword in Xiao Jingchuan's hand emitted a chilling light, like a bolt of jet-black lightning slicing through the sky, directly cleaving through the swirling, howling snow and ice of the icy plains.
At this moment, both sides were clad in heavy, sturdy leather armor, resembling an impregnable fortress.
They gripped their long swords tightly, the blades gleaming with a cold, piercing light that reflected the distorted, ferocious faces contorted by the carnage of battle.
From afar, Ningguta's towering city walls, shrouded in misty snow, appear and disappear, like a colossal beast that has slumbered for a long time. The thick, sturdy brick walls are covered with a thick layer of white snow, exuding a sense of coldness and the vicissitudes left by time.
Upon hearing this earth-shattering sound, the soldiers on duty on the city wall felt a sudden pang in their hearts, and an ominous premonition instantly welled up within them.
Without the slightest hesitation, they hurriedly rang the alarm bell hanging high above the city wall. The urgent sound of the bell rang out suddenly like a storm, echoing and reverberating between the ancient city walls, startling a flock of crows that had been roosting under the eaves into flight.
Hearing the commotion, the people in the city peeked out of their houses to look around.
When they saw Xiao Jingchuan wielding the Tianluo Sword and fighting bravely, joy involuntarily spread across their faces. In their eyes, Xiao Jingchuan and the Tianluo Sword in his hand had transformed into a steadfast guardian protecting the peace of the city, giving people endless hope and courage.
Mu Zetian, Wang Guangrong, and others also joined the fray.
Soon, Jiang Yiche returned in defeat, leading a group of soldiers in a hasty retreat. However, Gu Liuli would not let her escape so easily. He immediately took out an NK machine gun from his spatial storage and set it up on the city wall.
Xiao Jingchuan and the others were originally a bit tired and planned to rest for a while before returning to their military camp. Unexpectedly, Gu Liuli took out something dark, which was obviously the most lethal weapon in the space!
When Mu Yu and Xuan Huo saw their Crown Princess's weapon, their eyes lit up as if their hearts were pounding, and they quickly moved closer!
When Mu Yu and Xuan Huo saw the mysterious and unique weapon in their Crown Princess's hand, their eyes widened instantly, and their hearts pounded like they were being struck by a startled deer. Unable to contain their curiosity and excitement, they rushed forward, as if the weapon emanated an irresistible magic.
"Your Highness, what is this? How can it be so peculiar?" Mu Yu asked impatiently, her voice trembling slightly with excitement. Xuan Huo, standing beside her, was also filled with anticipation, his eyes fixed on the weapon, afraid of missing any detail.
Gu Liuli smiled slightly, a smile as beautiful and captivating as a flower blooming in spring. She gently stroked the weapon in her hand and said softly, "This is the NV mechanical gun, its power should not be underestimated! You can shoot at any distance you desire!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd erupted in an uproar. "A gun? What's a gun?" someone couldn't help but ask in confusion. However, most people held their breath, eagerly anticipating Gu Liuli's next demonstration.
Gu Liuli took a deep breath, her expression focused as she fixed her gaze on a dark hole not far ahead. Then, she skillfully adjusted the position of her gun, her slender fingers gently resting on a crescent-shaped component. Those who had never seen such a weapon before could only stare wide-eyed at Gu Liuli's every move.
