Chapter 120 A Powerful Arrival

"Are there still enough people left in the city guards and the government office?" Qiu Changming asked again.

"My lord, I have already sent someone to inquire. Most of the city guards have been sent to Blood Valley, leaving a battalion of soldiers to guard the camp. They cannot be mobilized for the time being. The government office has hundreds of constables, but their strength is generally average, so I'm afraid they can't help much. We can only rely on ourselves," Chang Wanchun said.

The criminals arrested by the constables in the government office were all ordinary people, so their strength was generally average. Deng Qianyu alone was enough to kill all the constables.

Qiu Changming took a deep breath and suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders. It was simply impossible to withstand the Yin Yuan Sect's offensive with only his sixty-odd men.

"Chang Wanchun, you must leave the city immediately and seek help from Chief Envoy Yang and Steward Wang. We must resist the blood disaster, and we must also be wary of the Yin Yuan Sect. Both of them could bring annihilation to the prefecture city!" Qiu Changming said coldly.

"yes!"

Chang Wanchun rushed out the door, and Qiu Changming immediately summoned all the constables, divided them into several teams, and headed straight for several nearby locations where the Yin Yuan Sect demons were causing trouble.

Ahead of Blood Valley.

Lin Qing was still fighting when he punched another blood corpse to pieces.

"The 2546th head!"

Lin Qing took a deep breath, stopped attacking, and retreated.

This time, he really felt he needed to rest. He still had some strength left, and if he continued fighting, he would truly reach his limit.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew by, and Wang Ling came to his side with his sword.

"Lin Qing, know your limits. Your performance has been outstanding enough. Don't lose your life because of competitiveness!"

Lin Qing cupped his hands slightly: "What you say is very true, sir. However, Lin Qing is not competitive. He just feels that his strength has improved too quickly and he needs to enhance his combat skills in life-and-death battles and reflect on himself. Now is an excellent opportunity for training, so he wants to force himself to fight with all his might."

"Your idea is fine, but you've been fighting for seven hours straight, it's time to rest," Wang Ling said gently.

"Yes, sir." Lin Qing nodded and followed Wang Ling to the back of the crowd.

Wherever he went, many people turned their eyes to him, their eyes filled with awe.

This respect was directed at both Wang Ling and Lin Qing, because both of them had acted extremely fiercely.

Lin Qing fought relentlessly for seven hours, and Wang Ling did the same, but was even more frenzied. He charged into the horde of corpses alone, and each swing of his sword created a wave of blood, killing tens of thousands of blood corpses.

Just as Wang Ling was sitting cross-legged on a large rock, preparing to rest for a while and recover his strength, someone rode up at full speed on horseback.

"Lord Wang, there are members of the Yin Yuan Sect causing trouble in the prefectural city. They are coming on strong. Steward Qiu sent me to ask you for help!" Chang Wanchun dismounted, looking anxious.

Wang Ling opened his eyes, a murderous glint flashing within them: "The Yin Yuan Sect is indeed taking advantage of our misfortune. I wish I could take my sword and slaughter these beasts!"

He took a deep breath, suddenly stood up, and said loudly, "Commander Wu, the Yin Yuan Sect is causing trouble in the city. I'm taking some men back to deal with it. You'll be in charge of holding off the blood corpses here."

"Steward Wang, this place cannot be without you. Moreover, this blood disaster is on a very large scale, and it has only just begun. The scale of the blood corpses will grow larger and larger, and the impact will become more and more intense. If you leave with your men, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop it," Wu Tong hurriedly said.

"But we can't ignore the prefectural city." Wang Ling frowned, caught in a dilemma.

"Here's what we'll do, Lord Wang. You choose one of your men to lead a group of constables back and resolve the Yin Yuan Sect's chaos as soon as possible. Let's grit our teeth and hold on a little longer here. You are the pillar of strength for everyone. Anyone else can leave, but you can't," Wu Tong suggested.

"Fine, let's get moving then," Wang Ling said coldly.

Not long after, Chang Wanchun left, taking with him more than 30% of the constables.

The remaining people were under increasing pressure. The scale of the blood disaster was still expanding, and more blood corpses were charging into the Blood Valley, but the defensive forces had been weakened by 30%.

As a result, everyone was forced to fight with all their might, and the horde of blood zombies suddenly pressed in, causing casualties to rise rapidly.

"Lord Wang, there are too many blood corpses. If this continues, everyone will die," Wu Tong said, frowning.

Wang Ling's expression was stern: "If we can't stop the horde of blood corpses from storming into the city, millions of people will suffer. What should we do, according to Commander Wu's opinion?"

"Retreat immediately, preserve our strength, rely on the fortified defenses of the prefectural city and the Zhenhun Division's garrison, and await reinforcements from other prefectures." Wu Tongdao.

"In this way, the entire prefectural city will fall into chaos, and the lives of the people in many villages and towns outside the prefectural city will be in danger!" Wang Ling frowned.

"My lord, there is no gain without sacrifice. Moreover, it is not that we are unwilling to contribute, but that the scale of this bloodshed is beyond our expectations. If we all die here, the lives of the people in the prefecture will still be in danger," Wu Tong said in a deep voice.

Wang Ling's eyes flickered. The situation was deteriorating rapidly. Even though Wu Tong had not ordered a retreat, many of the constables and soldiers present were being forced to retreat continuously.

Moreover, the situation on the other two roads must be terrible as well.

Wu Tong gazed ahead: "This bloodbath is likely the largest in the last fifteen years, Lord Wang. Some casualties are unavoidable!"

Not far away, Lin Qing raised his hand and smashed a bloody corpse in front of him with a single palm strike.

He frowned, overhearing the argument between Wang Ling and the other man, and felt that both of them had a point.

If this vital passage out of the valley cannot be defended, and the blood corpses break out, the garrison soldiers might be able to return to the garrison city and defend it against the city walls, but the people in the many villages and towns outside the city will most likely die.

But if we don't take action and rely on these people to hold out, they probably won't last long.

For a time, the situation was a dilemma.

Ultimately, the problem stemmed from a lack of manpower within the prefectural city, making it truly unmanageable to cope with a large-scale bloodshed.

Lin Qing was also quite worried. He didn't want to see all the constables and soldiers around him die in battle, nor did he want the city to be devastated.

"Isn't there any other way?"

Lin Qing looked ahead and felt an extremely strong sensation coming from directly in front of him. The mysterious expert's corpse had left the valley, which made the sensation even stronger.

"The blood corpse is an evil creature formed by the combination of the blood and yin energy scattered after the death of that mysterious powerhouse. Therefore, it can be inferred that the corpse of the mysterious powerhouse is the source of the blood disaster."

If their corpses could be destroyed, perhaps the blood calamity would be completely quelled, and even the entire Blood Valley Forbidden Land would disappear.

Regardless, I will give it a try. If I succeed, I will not only gain the merit of the Heavenly Merit, but also save countless lives.

If it fails, I may not necessarily lose my life.

Thinking of this, a bold plan emerged in Lin Qing's mind: he wanted to rush in and kill the mysterious expert's corpse.

Of course, he couldn't do this on his own; he needed Wang Ling's help.

So Lin Qing immediately found Wang Ling, who was still arguing with Wu Tong.

"Lord Wang, I have a way that might completely resolve the bloodbath!"

"What method?" Wang Ling turned around, and he and Wu Tong simultaneously cast questioning glances at Lin Qing.

"My lord, I would like to ask you to escort me into the Blood Valley. I am confident that I can find the corpse of that mysterious expert. If we can destroy his body, all the blood corpses may disappear," Lin Qing said.

"Many people in the prefecture have mentioned your idea, but no one has ever been able to find the corpse of that mysterious expert before. Are you sure you can do it?" Commander Wu asked.

"I'm fairly confident," Lin Qing said firmly.

"Alright, I'll send you into the valley. I don't care about a few blood corpses. As long as you're not afraid, you can set off now," Wang Ling said in a deep voice.

"Then let's set off now. There's nothing to be afraid of," Lin Qing said firmly.
