Chapter 720: Chapter 547: Yu Jin Dies, the Tiger Guard Army Continues to Battle the Demons and Monsters_2

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, Yu Jin bitterly smiled as his body neared collapse. If Divine Doctor Hua Tuo were here, he would surely discover that Yu Jin’s internal organs had shifted and his muscles were torn.

Furthermore, hairline fractures had appeared on the bones of both his arms. Yu Jin felt a tingling pain in his arms; some bones had already embedded into his flesh.

At this moment, Wang Yang saw the Strength of a Mortal, with countless people backing Yu Jin. With the strength of mere mortals, Yu Jin forcefully halted the Black Dragon’s advance.

Wang Yang stepped towards the Dragon’s mouth, using the force to leap towards the Dragon’s head—a move that seemed perilous to others.

But Li Ti knew the truth about this Black Dragon; it wasn’t a real dragon, but merely a form brought about by Demonic Qi.

It could be said to have the shape but not the spirit.

Even though it possessed immense brute force, it lacked the Divine Skills that true dragons have. How could such a creature be deemed a True Dragon?

Since it had no Divine Skills, Wang Yang devised a plan and headed straight for Li Feng, who was on the dragon’s head.

As long as Li Feng was killed, the Black Dragon would naturally disperse.

"Look, what is that?"

Among the thirty thousand Tiger Guard Army, everyone pushed against the ground, attempting to withstand the force in front of them. Someone looked up and was astounded to see Wang Yang holding a Longsword, nimbly heading towards Li Feng atop the Dragon’s head.

Wang Yang felt his speed increase as he glanced back at the Tiger Guard Army and continued forward, stepping on the Black Dragon’s upper jaw with his left foot.

With a thud, Wang Yang’s foot left a significant dent in the Black Dragon’s upper jaw. Although the Black Dragon was incredibly solidified, it couldn’t change the fact that it was made of ash.

Wang Yang’s footwork was extremely skillful, and one could say he had unleashed his strength to the maximum. For a moment, a cold light flashed past Li Feng’s shocked eyes.

Li Feng sat on the Dragon Throne, caressing the Imperial Jade Seal in his hand. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared, and the cold light obscured his vision, causing him to panic.

He never imagined that someone would dare to climb onto the body of the Black Dragon. Even Li Feng could feel the might of the Black Dragon.

Not to mention ordinary people; their resistance to the Black Dragon was extremely low. It was considered good luck if they weren’t scared to death instantly.

That’s why Li Feng felt this way.

Wang Yang’s Longsword pierced through the air, heading straight for Li Feng. A point of cold light, like the harbinger of death, penetrated Li Feng’s skull under his horrified gaze.

As Wang Yang’s Longsword ran through Li Feng’s head, Wang Yang exhaled lightly. Naturally, the Tiger Guard Army also witnessed this scene, and the pressure from the Black Dragon on them began to lessen.

"Puh!"

Yu Jin suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his Armor shattering into pieces. The force from the Black Dragon had left his body riddled with holes.

"General!"

"Quick, go forward."

"..."

In his blurred vision, Yu Jin saw members of the Tiger Guard Army running towards him. His horse, which had been overburdened, seemed to have fulfilled its duty.

It collapsed thunderously to the ground, and the Tiger Guard Army hurriedly caught Yu Jin. But Yu Jin, now lying in their arms, was breathing more in than out, appearing as though he didn’t have much time left.

Yu Jin’s eyes were half opened, his gaze starting to become murky. All he could see was the reflection of the sky in his pupils. Wang Yang leaped down from the Black Dragon.

Seeing Yu Jin in this state, he sighed. Yu Jin’s injuries were beyond saving. Although the original character was depicted as greedy for life and afraid of death, the real world couldn’t be summarized by everything in the books.

People are far more complex than what can be explained by a single event. Compared to the dishonorable latter years in the original story, at least dying on the battlefield now meant leaving behind an undeniable legacy. At least, in Cao Cao’s nature, he would naturally not mistreat Yu Jin after his death.

If the other soldiers lost heart, it would not be what Chancellor Cao wished to see.

In this world, everyone relies on a degree of trust, and Cao Cao, in order to maintain his power, would naturally provide a good resting place for Yu Jin.

But now, as Wang Yang looked at Yu Jin lying among the Tiger Guard Army, he couldn’t help but shake his head, for Yu Jin’s life was beyond the saving of anyone in this world.

If Divine Doctor Hua Tuo were here, perhaps there would be a way, but regrettably aside from the thirty thousand Tiger Guard Army and several thousand Qingzhou troops, there is no one else here.

"Wang Yang."

Yu Jin lay in the arms of a member of the Tiger Guard Army, calmed his breathing, and called out softly for Wang Yang.

"Hurry, hurry, please fetch General Wang."

"General Wang is here, come quickly, General Yu Jin seems to have something to say."

Wang Yang paused midstep as he entered the city, turned back to look at Yu Jin among the Tiger Guard Army, then hesitated for a moment before walking towards Yu Jin.

Yu Jin’s eyes had become completely muddled, and it can be said that Yu Jin’s vision had blurred severely; a figure clad in cloth armor and holding a longsword approached Yu Jin.

"Is it General Wang?"

Yu Jin, unable to see the newcomer clearly, could only ask in this way.

Wang Yang nodded, crouched down to face Yu Jin, and said, "Yes!"

"General Wang, although I do not know what you understand, I know that perhaps only you can solve this disaster of Demons and Monsters... cough cough cough."

As he spoke, Yu Jin began to cough. Wang Yang felt some discomfort in his heart, but also understood that this fate was now the best Yu Jin could hope for.

If it were according to his past life, it’s likely that Yu Jin’s death would be even more tragic than in the original story.

"General Yu, if it’s not something particularly important, then you may rest for a moment!"

Wang Yang understood what Yu Jin wanted to say, but still did not allow Yu Jin to continue speaking, because it no longer mattered whether Yu Jin spoke or not; once Yu Jin died, most of these Tiger Guard Army soldiers would follow him into the city.

Wang Yang could feel that the Fate blessing his body had not dispersed, meaning that the threats of this world still existed, implying that the real danger had yet to truly begin.

"Cough cough cough, General Wang, I hope you can lead the Tiger Guard Army into the city and thoroughly exterminate the Demons and Monsters."

Yu Jin, as if fearing that Wang Yang would cling to life and avoid death, directly led the Tiger Guard Army away, gripped Wang Yang’s hand tightly; Wang Yang began to fall silent.

Then he nodded solemnly. Of course, Wang Yang understood what Yu Jin wanted, and exterminating Demons and Monsters was precisely what Wang Yang was meant to do; these people, including Yu Jin, the thirty thousand Tiger Guard Army, and five thousand Qingzhou troops, were all drawn here by him.

"Understood."

Wang Yang made an immediate agreement. Upon hearing Wang Yang’s consent, Yu Jin seemed to relax, and just like that, he relaxed his body and gazed at the thick dark clouds in the sky.

Yu Jin, his eyes still open, went silent; the Yu Jin now was not the same Yu Jin of later times, the current Yu Jin was still thinking of achieving glory and serving his lord.

It must be said, Wang Yang’s mood also began to grow heavy; suddenly he stood up, while the Tiger Guard Army soldiers behind him seemed to all lower their heads in silent mourning.

"General Yu Jin has passed away. I hope General Wang will treat the brothers well."

The Deputy General took a look at the silent Wang Yang and spoke; Wang Yang had nothing more to say, and simply nodded.

"All forces, heed my command, reorganize the formation."

Facing Shouchun City, Wang Yang gave the command, and the Tiger Guard Army behind him quickly re-formed their ranks; Wang Yang held the longsword in a reverse grip.

He approached Yu Jin’s horse and with one sword strike split the horse apart, leaving behind nothing but a bloodied mess and an intact horsehide.

Spread out, the horsehide was at least two to three meters across; the Tiger Guard Army member who was holding Yu Jin,

seemed to understand Wang Yang’s intention and immediately brought Yu Jin’s body forward.

"Dying in battle, such is the final fate for every general; I hope that wrapped in this horsehide, Chancellor Cao will treat you well."

Wang Yang took Yu Jin, laid him atop the horsehide, his left hand brushed over Yu Jin’s still-open eyes, then he wrapped Yu Jin up, folding it several times.

And handed him over to that senior Tiger Guard Army soldier.

They still had to continue their campaign to subjugate Shouchun City’s Demons and Monsters.
