I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1854 - 1855: Sheng—Alive or Dead, Bring Him Back

Chapter 1854: Chapter 1855: Sheng—Alive or Dead, Bring Him Back
Your thinking has always been unrestrained, without any constraints, which is the most attractive trait to Ren Hongchang. Following by your side, she can always experience an unprecedented feeling.
Afterward, you quietly left the medical hall and returned to the place where you and Zou Nan temporarily resided.
Diao Chan’s disappearance led to Wang Yun searching the entire city for her. At midnight, you brought the two women to the side of the East Gate of Chang’an City under the cover of night.
Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji exerted every effort to capture you and Zou Nan, sparing no expense of their forces. They launched a massive search both inside and outside Chang’an City. Even after many days, they showed no signs of giving up. In Zhang Xiu’s view, since you were heavily injured, you were definitely hiding nearby, not far from Chang’an.
Thus, the city walls and towers were brightly lit, and even directly below the city gate stood about a hundred people in an orderly line.
During the day it’s fine, with a deputy general watching the city tower, no soldiers dared to slack off. But now, while ordinary people were already asleep, the deputy general was enjoying a roll in the hay with two beautiful ladies. Therefore, the Xiliang soldiers sat in groups of two or three on the ground, some leaning against the city wall snoring loudly, while others simply lay on pre-prepared straw bedding, falling into deep sleep.
Only a few people maintained clear consciousness, chatting idly with each other.
Most soldiers on the wall were also dozing off, and even the patrol team was somewhat lax, having enjoyed peace for a long while, mentally lowering their guard.
Taking advantage of this moment, you softly said to the two women behind you, "Elder Sister Nan, take care of Hongchang later. After I breach the city gate, you must keep moving forward and never look back!"
"What did you say?" Zou Nan thought she misheard you.
"Breach the city gate?"
Ren Hongchang was also taken aback, the East Gate of Chang’an City was personally designed and supervised by a Mo Sect disciple, made of solid steel, tremendously heavy, ordinarily requiring dozens of strong men and mechanisms to open. The gate of Chang’an City doesn’t swing open but drops down from above, said to weigh over ten thousand pounds. And here you were, claiming to breach it with your own strength; if anyone else said this, they would’ve been considered crazy!
With a chuckle, your face showed an eager expression.
You had long wanted to try, always wanting to smash the city gate of Chang’an with your fist, thus declaring to the world— I, Li Muyun, am here!!!
No one wishes to live a cowardly life, no one likes being always repressed, and no one wants their family harmed. After this period of reflection, your mindset reached a new level of enlightenment. The blows from Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji didn’t discourage you at all; instead, they made you understand everything.
Reflecting on your past, you realized you were too indecisive.
At this point, you didn’t think further, for overthinking was useless; you wanted to prove your determination with action!
"Charge!" You uttered a low shout, then dashed toward the enormous city gate like an arrow.
The two women, Zou Nan and Ren Hongchang, following behind you, noticed that your entire body emitted a five-colored light. This light, initially dispersing, became concentrated, then gathered entirely on your right hand.
"Boom—"
Like a thunderclap, the explosive roar awakened everyone around. When the nearby soldiers opened their eyes, their eyeballs almost popped out! Before them, the view suddenly widened under the flickering firelight, revealing something was missing from the field of view— "The- The city gate! The city gate is gone!"
Amid the exclamations, a thunderous voice echoed over the entire Chang’an City: "I— Li Muyun— am here!!!"
Zhang Xiu awoke with a start, kicking aside the voluptuous body by his side, hurriedly got out of bed, dressed swiftly, rushed outside, and shouted, "All troops, prepare and follow me to kill the villainous bandit!"
However, when Zhang Xiu led the charge to the East Gate, he was stunned by what he saw. Zhang Xiu wasn’t the only one, everyone who rushed over was dumbstruck—the Eastern City’s gate had disappeared!
Zhang Xiu, regaining his senses, urgently shouted, thrusting his spear forward, "All forces, follow me out of the city!"
With Zhang Xiu’s order echoed, a chilling sound came from the night sky, near and far, causing some to look up unintentionally, making their eyeballs almost pop out again!
The city gate!
The city gate had crossed the city wall and was crashing toward Zhang Xiu’s position!
Almost instantly upon seeing the gate, Zhang Xiu abandoned his beloved horse, dashed to the city tower’s base, and as his body landed on the stone slab, a massive rumble resounded behind him.
"Bang—"
The gate crashed down, moving forward for more than ten meters, leaving a path stained with blood!
With the danger passed, Zhang Xiu sprang up, seized a horse from a nearby cavalry, and shouted at everyone: "What are you waiting for, follow me to kill that despicable traitor!"
Under Zhang Xiu’s call and leadership, the Xiliang soldiers stormed out of Chang’an City, conducting a blanket search.
Over half an hour later, Zhang Xiu received a from his subordinate: "General, a hundred or so warriors suddenly emerged from the forest ahead, each one incredibly brave, likely the personal guard team of Li Muyun!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiu quickly shook off his sleepy expression, whipped his horse and commanded: "Notify all sectors to gather swiftly, use all strength to capture this person, alive or dead!"
"Understood!"
However, what Zhang Xiu didn’t know was the subsequent events completely exceeded his expectations, or rather, they exceeded everyone’s expectations!
The nearest force to gather was Zhang Xiu’s cavalry, numbering about eight hundred. These eight hundred cavalry were Zhang Xiu’s trusted aides, and in some form were similar to your personal guard team. To pursue you, Zhang Xiu had put in his best efforts, even sending out his personal guards.
Yet, just as these eight hundred cavalry appeared, a middle-aged man leading them had only begun to shout when his head flew skyward. With Little Liu’s furious cry of "Kill!", eighty men from the personal guard team galloped out rapidly.
Blades, drawn neatly from scabbards at their waists.
Moonlight shone, with the blade’s edge reflecting shimmering cold light.
Almost as soon as the cold light came into view, the chilling sword aura was already pressing close against Zhang Xiu’s cavalry’s skin.
With the first encounter, eighty cavalrymen fell immediately, their movements uniform, orderly.
The blades splattered blood, cold and chilling.
In the hazy moonlight, with eyes slightly dazed, the cold light flashed again like the dazzling stars in a vast galaxy.
In just a face-off, in just a few breaths, over four hundred cavalry had fallen in pools of blood. The eighty personal guards, each with a steely toughness, seemed to carry a layer of frost, making anyone who saw them feel an inner chill.
The ordinarily playful Little Liu now looked as if possessed by a ghost god, holding a wide-bladed sword, blood-soaked all over, especially his face. Apart from the fearsome gleam in his eyes, the rest was covered in blood, resembling a Rakshasa from Hell under the misty moonlight.
"Clear the road, escort the Lord eastward!"
Little Liu coldly uttered a few words, then swung his large blade again...
