The ending of Chapter 113 is already decided.
Zhang Yunling was directly hit by Gu Changpeng's charged attack. Despite his best efforts to defend, he could not avoid being seriously injured. His One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique was also completely dissipated, and he fell to the ground like a dead dog.
Just as Chen Tianfan gritted his teeth and endured the pain, preparing to deliver the final blow, the sounds of battle erupted from the Tang army not far away:
"Kill them!!"
"Brothers, let's go! We can't let the poet's sacrifice go to waste!"
Even with his Golden Core cultivation, Chen Tianfan had already exhausted most of his spiritual energy and had been accidentally injured by Gu Changpeng. He didn't have the courage to fight the army head-on and could only give up this great opportunity to kill Zhang Yunling and choose to get up and leave the battlefield.
Dong Wan, who was far away, was even more anxious. She was also a Nascent Soul cultivator, but she couldn't protect her teammates and had to rely on mortals to save them.
Fueled by self-blame and shame, she erupted in extreme anger, and the Nine-Bend Sword in her hand suddenly burst forth with a dazzling crimson light. The aura it exuded startled Gu Changpeng, who was in mid-air, causing him to quickly turn around to assess the situation.
"You old scoundrel...you've done so many evil deeds...today I'll chop you down, you despicable villain!" Dong Wan drew her sword with both hands and charged forward recklessly.
She stomped her foot hard in the air, creating ripples, followed by an incredibly swift slash. Although Gu Changpeng was prepared, he was still unable to defend himself against the blow.
Gu Changpeng gathered his spiritual power in both hands, trying to buy some time to recall the Golden Bell Shield that had been knocked away in the distance. However, as he gathered his spiritual power, Dong Wan's Nine-Bend Treasure Blade suddenly emitted an even more dazzling light. Immediately afterward, Gu Changpeng felt his spiritual power strangely begin to leak away.
He hadn't engaged this madwoman in close combat before, but had been exchanging magical attacks from a distance. Only now that they were actually fighting did he realize that the Nine-Bend Treasure Blade was absorbing his spiritual energy and using it for its own purposes!
"Damn it... This world is truly rife with sorcery. Why didn't they just let the Heavenly Calamity wipe you all out? Instead, they left these remnants to come and annoy me..."
Gu Changpeng exerted force with both arms, and the resulting explosion of spiritual energy shattered Dong Wan's broadsword, putting distance between himself and the strange woman once again.
He then chose to attack from a distance again, quickly unleashing his magic towards Dong Wan. In an instant, countless huge fireballs condensed behind Gu Changpeng. The fireball spell unleashed by a cultivator of his level was enough to be called a disaster.
Hundreds and thousands of fireballs rained down on the ground like a meteor shower, still attacking indiscriminately. Although Dong Wan wanted to continue the pursuit, she was worried that the heavily injured Zhang Yunling was lying on the ground. She was afraid that the attack would kill the brat who was barely clinging to life, so she finally chose to retreat.
Hundreds of Tang archers on the ground fired arrows at Gu Changpeng. These arrows, enhanced by the Emperor's Banner, were also highly lethal to cultivators.
But seeing Dong Wan escape, Gu Changpeng quickly recalled his Golden Bell Shield and used it to block most of the arrows.
However, two arrows still managed to pierce through the Golden Bell Shield and strike Gu Changpeng squarely in the shoulder and calf.
Pain immediately swept through his body. Gu Changpeng's eyes turned cold, and he raised his hand to cast a hurricane spell, instantly annihilating the Tang soldiers on the ground, and continued his advance.
Dong Wan rushed to the ground. Seeing Gu Changpeng throw another tornado at her, she panicked and quickly took out an item from her storage bag and threw it into the air. It was the Seven Treasures Purple Cloud Shield, a Heaven-rank defensive magic weapon that she had previously looted from Li Linfu's corpse!
As soon as the shield appeared, a purple mist quickly rose up. The tornado was covered by the purple mist and suddenly changed direction, launching a counterattack against Gu Changpeng!
Gu Changpeng was also somewhat surprised, but he quickly realized that he had a rough idea of the shield's ability. It should be able to deflect the opponent's attacks. However, the tornado was his most proficient skill, and he simply waved his hand to disperse it. But the thick purple smoke still obscured his vision.
With the cover of the purple smoke, Dong Wan quickly picked up Zhang Yunling's body and took flight, not forgetting to retrieve the Seven Treasures Purple Cloud Shield. In this way, she fled in defeat and flew quickly towards the Tang army camp.
"Damn it..." Dong Wan cursed through gritted teeth, while looking down at Zhang Yunling, who was covered in blood, with great concern. She had no heart to fight anymore. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, she had to save this kid's life first.
Even disregarding past favors, in the end, it is still necessary to cooperate with Zhang Yunling to obtain opportunities in this secret realm.
Without the help of cultivators Zhang Yunling and Dong Wan, and with Gu Changpeng leading the attack, the An-Shi alliance swept through the Tang army with unstoppable momentum, and the victor of this great battle was already decided.
Shi Siming silently watched everything on the battlefield from the rear, while An Lushan beside her was excitedly waving her arms and legs. Only now did she show the demeanor of a little girl.
Chen Tianfan, who had rushed back from the battlefield, was also received by the Wudang disciples and began emergency treatment.
After a while of excitement, An Lushan finally managed to control his emotions, stepped into the air, and used his spiritual power to amplify his voice, shouting loudly:
"Whoever scales the city wall first will be richly rewarded! Whoever slays a general and captures a flag will be ranked among the Three Dukes! Their name will be recorded in history!!!"
Encouraged by An Lushan's words, the An-Shi alliance immediately charged forward with renewed vigor. Even with the blessing of the Emperor's Banner, the Tang army could hardly withstand them. With Gu Changpeng, a Nascent Soul expert, leading the charge, the Tang army quickly suffered a series of defeats until they were forced back to the outskirts of the capital, with nowhere left to retreat.
Holding the Emperor's Banner tightly, Li Lin watched helplessly as his army was gradually devoured. He had no idea what to do and could only keep cutting open his wounds to let the Emperor's Banner suck his blood.
He had just received news from the battlefield messengers that the several thousand cavalrymen they had sent to raid An Lushan's camp had been completely wiped out by the enemy, and it was the work of the Wudang Mountain disciples.
These bad news overwhelmed Li Lin's mental defenses like a flood. Princess Yuzhen, Li Xuanxuan, who was standing next to him, was also terrified and turned pale. She even began to persuade Li Lin to surrender and submit to An Lushan.
Li Lin also lost too much blood, and his consciousness became blurred, and the scene in front of him gradually became unreal.
He felt himself immediately surrounded by countless soldiers. Li Xuanxuan became a prisoner, kneeling beside him without any dignity, screaming and begging for mercy in despair.
In the end, all he saw was an old man in a brown robe, covered in blood, suspended in mid-air before him. His cold, murderous voice became the final straw that broke Li Lin's back, pouring into his ears like a nightmare:
"Hand over the Emperor's Banner, and I will spare your life."
