The setting sun that stretches all over the sky creates a splash or two of crimson and deep purple in the western sky. This color changes rapidly, from silver to gray to fish belly white, and suddenly turns into brilliant gold.
The top of the city was also shrouded in this faint sunset.
However, compared with the initial excitement, the people on the city now became sad.
This time they defended the city, although they finally won the victory and saved their homeland. However, they also paid a huge price for this. This can be seen from the number of corpses on the top of the city.
Zheng Haotian stepped off the divine machine crossbow and glanced regretfully at the less than a hundred divine machine arrows left.
After missing today, it will be quite difficult to find another opportunity to release the magical arrows at will.
However, his eyes only glanced over it and he had already hidden all his thoughts.
The figure flashed, and Hu Batian once again strode into the tower. Perhaps because he had just used his divine power to force the Hai clan back, at this time, he was still releasing a surging pressure, even if it was Zheng Haotian and others.
It's almost unbearable.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Hu Batian burst into laughter. The strong aura on his body gradually subsided and finally disappeared.
Nodding to everyone, Hu Ba Tian said loudly: "Everyone, I'm sorry, Mr. Hu was originally practicing in seclusion, but after hearing the news, he broke out in a hurry, so his aura is a bit messy and he has not yet been able to fully control it."
Only then did everyone understand that it was no wonder that with the strength he had shown just now, he could still let his aura pressure leak out.
Mu Jin's face changed slightly and he said, "Brother, have you succeeded?"
Hu Batian smiled calmly and said: "Not yet." There was a hint of regret in his voice: "The realm of the spirit body is not so easy to break through. I still missed the last step."
Zheng Haotian's heart moved slightly. After listening to the conversation between the two of them, he immediately understood the other person's level of cultivation.
At the tenth level, he turned out to be a tenth-level powerhouse like Wenren Bingying.
Mu Jin's expression suddenly became a little unnatural. He lowered his gaze and said, "Brother, it's all useless to me. If I can guard the city and prevent you from getting upset, maybe you can succeed.
"
Hu Batian's eyes widened and he said: "Nonsense." He stretched out his big hand and patted Mu Jin hard on the shoulder, saying: "Although the promotion of the spirit body is not easy, it is just not easy.
This is just a hurdle in my Hu Ba Tian martial arts practice, and I will be able to overcome it sooner or later."
Everyone in the tower was grinning, and their gums even ached.
Spiritual body, this is the realm that all cultivators dream of. Even talented disciples like Wen Ren Bingying who came from super sects have worked tirelessly to cultivate for this goal, and even have to use the Feitian Lord Peak
to make breakthroughs within the special environment.
But even so, she didn't dare to say that it would definitely succeed.
However, Hu Batian actually has such confidence, and hearing his tone, you can tell that he is not trying to comfort Mu Jin, but has real strong confidence.
Such a person, even if you look at the entire spiritual world, is definitely rare and rare to see.
Mu Jin's eyes shone brightly. He nodded heavily and said, "I can trust you, brother."
Hu Batian grinned and said, "Since you can trust me, you should send someone to notify me when the Hai Clan begins to gather."
Mu Jin's face turned slightly red and he said, "Brother, I just thought that I could defend the city with my own abilities."
Hu Batian sighed softly. Although he was very heroic, it did not mean that he was a reckless person. On the contrary, his thoughts were quite delicate. How could he not understand Mu Jin's true thoughts.
"Old Mu, I know you want me to break through my limits with peace of mind and step into the spirit realm as soon as possible. But don't forget, Zhenhai City is me and our home."
Zheng Haotian's heart trembled slightly.
Home……
This word contains too many things. At this moment, he missed his father and his home in Dalin Village very much.
He was born there and spent the most precious childhood and adolescence in his life. There, it has become a memory that can never be erased in his heart.
Even though he came to the Great Spirit World, he still couldn't forget his home with thin spiritual energy.
Hu Batian's calm, mountain-like voice continued: "The reason why I practice so hard is to protect our home. If even our home is destroyed, then what's the use of me cultivating a spiritual body?
"
Mu Jin's lips trembled a few times and finally said: "Brother, our home can be rebuilt after it is destroyed. As long as you are here, I believe we will be able to build a bigger and better home on this land."
Hu Batian looked at him seriously, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious: "Well said, Lao Mu, since you know this truth, why are you still unwilling to evacuate Zhenhai City and instead want to die for the city?"
Although his voice was not heavy, it had a huge pressure of its own.
A trace of sweat appeared on Mu Jin's forehead, and he murmured: "Brother, you entrusted Zhenhai City to me, I can't let you down."
Hu Batian shook his head gently and said: "You yourself have said that your homeland can be rebuilt once it is gone, but if you are gone, then no matter how powerful I am, I will never be able to revive you." He paused.
After a while, he said: "This time I am dissatisfied with you, not because you have never sent people to find me, nor because you can't keep your home, but because you can't let go and are reluctant to let go..."
Zheng Haotian and others are all enlightened.
However, after Mu Jin hesitated for a moment, he suddenly said: "Brother, can you tell me if you are willing to live in a different place?"
Hu Batian was stunned for a moment, he pondered for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly and said: "I, I don't know..."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and then they understood that he was lecturing people, but if things come to a head, whether they can give up calmly is a matter of two minds.
Being willing to give up and being difficult to let go are inherently difficult multiple-choice questions, even for a tenth-level peak powerhouse like him.
Zheng Haotian asked himself, if Xionglang Mountain was about to encounter a disaster, what choice would he make?
Should we abandon the city and flee, or fight to the death?
However, he thought for a long time, but still had no answer.
This kind of problem cannot be solved by imagination alone. No one will know their choice unless it comes to the end. However, Zheng Haotian would rather never encounter such a choice.
Mu Jin looked into the distance. In the place where the waves were rising, except for the corpses of sea beasts, there were no living sea tribesmen. He sighed and said: "It's a pity that we were not able to kill all these damn sea tribesmen."
Destroy."
Although he did not dare to accuse Hu Batian directly, he still felt a sense of complaint in his heart.
After all, after this battle, the humans in Zhenhai City and the Hai Clan have formed an irresolvable hatred. As long as there is a slight possibility, Mu Jin will never let the Hai Clan leave.
The corners of Hu Batian's mouth pursed slightly, and a rare look of helplessness appeared on his face that was as bright as the sun.
"Old Mu, there are some things you don't know." Hu Batian sighed softly, as if he had something to hide.
Everyone invariably thought of what he said to the Sea Clan, and couldn't help but murmur to themselves, could it be that there really is some kind of agreement between humans and the Sea Clan?
Hu Batian suddenly changed the topic and said: "Brother Wang Yu, this time Zhenhai City was in trouble, thanks to your help. Thank you very much."
Wang Yu's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said: "Master Tiger Gang, you are so annoying. Although I am not a resident of Zhenhai City, I am only a few hundred miles away from here, so I should do my best to come here."
Hu Batian smiled slightly, reached out and took out a few things from the space bag, flicked them with his fingers, and immediately fell into the hands of Wang Yu and the other two spiritual masters.
The faces of the three of them all showed joy, and they had clearly obtained the items they were looking forward to.
Looking at the smiling Hu Batian, Wang Yu immediately understood what he meant and said quickly: "Master Hu Gang, I still have some urgent matters to deal with, so I will take my leave first."
The other two spiritual masters also woke up from a dream and followed Wang Yu's footsteps.
Hu Batian turned his head, the smile on his face slowly faded, and looked at Zhang Tao silently.
The black-shirted chief clerk had cold sweat on his forehead and a wry smile on his face.
"Brother Zhang, during the crisis in Zhenhai City, since your clan ordered the city to be completely destroyed, then... please leave." Hu Batian said slowly.
Zhang Tao's expression changed slightly, he forced a smile and said: "Master Tiger Gang, I am not the one to make the decision on this matter."
"I know you can't make the decision, so please reply to your sect leader and let him make the decision." Hu Batian said calmly.
Zhang Tao hesitated again and again, but finally did not dare to contradict him. He cupped his fists and saluted, then turned and left.
Hu Batian has already said this. If he is still ignorant, he will be disgusting.
Cheng Jiazhen's face turned gloomy, he looked around the city reluctantly, and turned to leave.
"Brother Cheng, your Cheng family will always be good friends of the Fierce Tigers." Hu Batian's voice sounded at the right time.
Cheng Jiazhen paused, looked at him deeply, and said, "Thank you very much." After that, he turned around, and although his back was gloomy, he still left unswervingly.
This is a choice. Since he has chosen the Black Shirt Sect, he cannot stay in Zhenhai City. This is not only the case for him, but also for everyone in the Black Shirt Sect.
Mu Jin hesitated to speak, and finally sighed softly and said: "Brother, you haven't broken through to the spirit body yet, so it's inappropriate for us to offend the Black Shirt Sect like this."
Hu Batian smiled confidently and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to break through the limit in as little as half a year or as much as a year. Hehe, the Black Shirt Sect must have sensed it, so they will make the decision to withdraw their troops. If not
Let, the fishmen clan invade in large numbers, how can they be willing to sit idly by and ignore it?"
Mu Jin suddenly realized this, and his heart was filled with excitement.
Zhenhai City, the Fierce Tigers, are finally going to give birth to a true spiritual powerhouse.
