Chapter 121 "Phoenix Appears"
Continued from the previous article…
After the battle was resolved, everyone walked for a while. Suddenly, Su Chang discovered that there was still a civilian in front of them who had not been evacuated.
When everyone walked over, they heard him say: "I, Gongshu Liang, am not a coward. Now, the safety of the "Industry Construction Department" depends on me alone!"
Then the Di Ting barked. Then the man who called himself "Gongshu Liang" said, "No, no! Ah Cai, you should just run for your life. The Cloud Riders haven't come for a long time, so the only way now is for me to turn the tide!"
Hearing this, Su Chang quickly advised: "Uncle! Don't be a hero." However, after hearing Su Chang's words, the man who called himself "Gong Shuliang" was shocked and said: "A Cai! You...you...why are you talking?"
But Su Chang said indignantly: "Who are you calling a puppy?"
"Oh, I'm sorry... I'm sorry, little girl. It's mainly because I just thought about not installing a human voice for the little one?"
But as he was talking, he felt something was wrong - "Wow! Why are there more people coming? Now that all the apprentices have fled, I am the only one left in the "Industry and Manufacturing Company". All of you, run for your lives!"
Su Chang was not happy to hear the man in front of her say this: "Didn't you just say that [Cloud Riders will not come for a long time]? Ah? Well, as a Cloud Rider, I am here now, right? Humph, leave the things here to us, you come with us first!"
"No, no! As an impartial person, I have the responsibility to stay in the department."
After hearing what he said, Su Chang said helplessly: "Alas, it seems... I have to use some last resort." Then after taking out her sword, she said: "... Do you want to move yourself? Or do you want me to knock you out and then stuff you into the white box of the guy in the white coat behind me?"
"Uh... I... I... Can you give me a stick of incense to think about it... ok?"
"Now! Immediately!"
"Wow, you're a soldier indeed, just as imposing as I used to be."
"Haha, actually it's not as great as you say."
"It's okay. You should be approachable when you need to be approachable. But... you must also be imposing when you need to be imposing. Otherwise, no one will be afraid of you."
"Thank you, I've learned a lot."
Gongshu Liang, who was standing by, asked, "Little girl from Yunqi, why did the general only send you here?"
"There's nothing we can do. The scope of this disaster is too wide. Given this situation... even if the Cloud Cavalry had more people, they wouldn't be able to divide the troops."
"But uncle, don't worry, we will protect you!"
After that, no one spoke again until - "Okay, just walk a few more steps and we'll be almost at the gate. Thank you for your escort, let's... say goodbye here for now."
"Ah? We are just a few steps away. Aren't you going to leave with us?" Su Shang asked in confusion.
Gongshu Liang responded, "Haha, after all... everyone has their own responsibilities, and I... have been taking care of the operation of the equipment in the department since the day I entered the [Industry and Manufacturing Department], and I have never slacked off for a single day. Similarly, today - I cannot do that either!"
"As for the students? They should retreat to the door. But I can't let them see the old master's cowardly look! So... it's enough for you to follow me here. Next, I have to see what else I can do for the [Industry and Construction Division]."
"Uncle..."
"Haha, there's no need to persuade me, little girl. Don't worry, I value my life very much and will never do anything rash! Let's go."
After saying that, Gongshu Liang turned his back to everyone with [Ding Ting] and looked inside the [Industry and Manufacturing Department] stubbornly.
Everyone understood his determination and stopped trying to persuade him. Instead, they turned and left. But... not long after they left, they found a large city gate tower in front of them. Teacher Ji Zi said:
"Oh my god, what the hell is that... Is the city gate tower a spirit? And it looks like it doesn't want us to pass. By the way, Su Chang, aren't you a member of the Cloud Cavalry? Go up there and yell, and see if you can make it retreat."
"Ah? This...this...I don't know either. How about [Silent] give it a try?"
"..."
At this time, Luosha said: "I think that no matter who goes up and yells, it may be useless. Right now in this [Industry and Manufacturing Department], I am afraid that except for Ah Cai, there is no one who can obey orders."
"What should we do?"
In response, Teacher Ji Zi and Dan Heng said in unison: "It's easy. If he doesn't obey, just beat him down, right?"
"Ah... this is not right. I remember you, [Silent], were not such a reckless person. And this Ms. Jizi..." But as she was talking, she remembered the terrifying fighting power of the red-haired lady in front of her, and couldn't help but change her words: "How about this, let's go together, after all, there is strength in numbers, and... it's not easy to capsize."
"Of course you can." After saying that, Teacher Jizi put on [True Red Knight·Eclipse] again, summoned the Falling Sword·Sartre, and attacked directly. Dan Heng followed closely behind, and seeing this, Su Shang also quickly took out the [Xuanyuan Sword] and shouted loudly -
"Take my Taixu Form Essence—Phoenix·Reveal!" Upon hearing this, Dan Heng, Teacher Ji Zi, Luo Sha, and Xue Yi had different reactions.
Xue Yi did not react at all; Luosha closed her eyes slightly; Dan Heng thought that he did not have the ability to be distracted by the battle, so he did not look back; and Teacher Ji Zi looked back because she heard a familiar word - [Taixu]. As a result, it would have been fine if she had not looked back. As soon as she turned around, she was shocked.
Because, she actually saw a white and fat [Red Kite], summoned by Su Chang. She was a little bit amused. During this period, she had already run to the front of the big city gate tower, but she did not immediately attack with all her strength, but wanted to have a good fight.
Teacher Jizi raised her sword and chopped at the big city gate, and then it was blocked by the big stick in his hand. Teacher Jizi had expected this, and at the moment of being blocked, she chose to discard the Meteoric Sword and use the big sword that came with the Eclipse Armor instead.
With one sword, he chopped the city gate tower into a cripple. At the same time, the red kite summoned by Su Chang had also arrived, and then... sat down directly!
Teacher Ji Zi couldn't help but sigh: "Is this the legendary 'Mount Tai pressing down on the head'? I've learned a lot."
Su Chang scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard this, while Dan Heng took advantage of the moment when the big city gate tower was stiffened by Su Chang's attack and said directly: "Life and death, reality and illusion, are just a thought away; the cave world is illusory, and the long dream is broken!"
