Chapter 817: Chapter 72: Covering Retreat_2 Chapter 817: Chapter 72: Covering Retreat_2 The leading Soldier, upon hearing this, flashed a look of unwillingness in his eyes but still quickly raised his hand.
Instantly, all the Soldiers lifted their long spears, pressing them against the commoners opposite them.
Wang Xu’s expression shifted slightly, and he realized his mistake in an instant, just as he was about to say sothing.
Suddenly, he heard a pained sound from his wife on his shoulder:
“Wang, my, my stomach…”
Wang Xu quickly looked towards his wife in his arms, only to see blood quickly spreading from below.
On the other side, his elderly mother imdiately cried out in alarm, “Miscarriage!
She’s having a miscarriage!
Find a doctor!”
Wang Xu’s mind was in chaos, involuntarily glancing towards the closing city gates and the figure beginning to turn to fly away.
...
Without a mont’s hesitation, he frantically pulled out a stone he had long treasured from his embrace and shouted with all his might:
“Master Yang!
I, I have a treasure to offer to the immortal!”
However, the figure just frowned and did not even glance his way, shouting:

“Close the gates!”
And at that mont, Wang Xu suddenly heard a series of screams.
Subconsciously, he turned his head to look up at the sky.
What he saw made his scalp tingle and his body freeze with cold:
The immortals, who had looked ethereal and composed just monts ago, were now devoid of any signs of life, plumting from mid-air…
Countless threads laced through the still-struggling villagers, suspending them in the air.
And those figures clad in black were rapidly approaching the capital!
“Close the gates!
Hurry and close the gates!”
“Quick!”
Several voices of terror rose!
Those voices brought Wang Xu back from his state of shock, only to realize with horror that Immortal Yang Fang and the other immortals, who had once held themselves above all, now wore faces stricken with utter panic.
And just then, one of them fiercely slapped a hand, and the two gates of the city crashed shut!
The next instant, Wang Xu felt a shiver run through his heart!
A sense of danger overwheld him!
Without a second thought, he wrapped his arms around his mother and wife and rolled outwards with full force!
Sounds of urgent screams.
Wang Xu helped the two up, lifted his head and his pupils dilated silently.
Looking at the swiftly forming white light barrier at the city gates, looking at the blood and severed limbs sliding off the white light barrier…
The commoners who had been standing at the gate hoping to take refuge in the city, which was now tightly packed, at this mont had turned into a silent mush, covering the ground in front of the city gates thoroughly…
The world seed to fall silent.
“Ah—”
“Mother!”
A thread shot down abruptly from the sky, piercing through the elderly woman’s body, rapidly hooking onto her and flying upward!
Wang Xu’s eyes were near rupture.
But he could only watch helplessly as the elderly woman, still struggling, was quickly whisked away by the thread.
And in that mont.
Two figures suddenly erged above the Great Capital!
With a depth that made Wang Xu feel as if even breathing would suffocate him!
However, at this mont, he cried out in joy:
“Immortal!”
“Immortal!”
“Immortal, save my mother, please!”
In the sky, an indifferent voice sounded:
“A bunch of Class III puppets dare to stir up trouble in the Great Capital!
Seeking death!”
As the voice spoke.
Suddenly, a series of lights flew out from the immortal’s body.
Wang Xu couldn’t see clearly what was happening, only seeing his mother and so villagers who had been caught by the threads suddenly plumting downward!
Wang Xu was shocked and held his wife tight, then tid his jump and caught his mother just in ti.
Thump!
The huge body crashed down.
“Oh child, it hurts so much!”
She’s still alive!
Wang Xu had no ti to feel relieved.
The next mont, countless beams of light descended from the sky, one of which was aid right at where Wang Xu was standing!
“You think you can perform a Blood Sacrifice with these mortals?
They’re all dead now, let’s see how you perform your sacrifice!”
The cold voice echoed in the sky.
But for Wang Xu, it was as if he had plumted into hell!
Is this what immortals are?
Is this the immortal life he had always dread of achieving?!
In that mont, sothing inside him collapsed!
Without a mont’s hesitation, he once again hugged the elderly woman and his wife to his chest, imdiately placing his body in front of the radiant light as a shield.
Many faces flashed through his mind.
Immortal Yang Fang, the two immortals who had just appeared in the sky…
And in this instant, he thought unintentionally of that immortal who shared his surna, who had given him the Body Strengthening Scripture to save his mother’s life.
If it were that surna Wang immortal…
he surely wouldn’t do this, would he?
For so reason, this thought spontaneously arose in his mind.
Countless thoughts flickered rapidly.
To the outside world, it was but an instant.
Boom!
A roar!
Wang Xu felt a scorching blast, like searing flas, graze his back before sending him tumbling forward.
He steadied himself with all his might, striving to keep the space within his embrace less cramped.
After a spell of dizziness and tinnitus, he barely propped himself up.
Revealing the two within his arms.
“Mother!”
“Wen Yin!”
Wang Xu revealed a smile of relief.
But the old woman’s face revealed a touch of sorrow, her trembling hand reaching out to touch Wang Xu’s face, then…
her arm fell limply.
The smile on Wang Xu’s face instantly froze.
He looked down.
His mother’s clothes quickly stained a deep red…
“Mother!”
“Mother!!”
“No!”
“No!!”
In that mont, his blood felt as if it was about to ignite!
The countless movents learned from the stone flashed through his mind, and inside his body, sothing seed to co loose…
“Wang…”
A weak voice sounded.
