Chapter 109: Attack - World Consciousness Counterattacks
Lei Dianzhen was quietly watching the two people who were about to escape from a distance. With a thought, an invisible force surged out instantly, holding the two people firmly in place.
Immediately, Cai Yan rushed over from behind, and with a flick of her sword, she sent the two men to reunite with their companions.
After killing the four men, Cai Yan placed the long knife in her hand on the headless corpse on the ground, then wiped it twice to slightly dry the blood that was dripping from it.
He found seven Hu cakes from the pockets of the four people, put them in another empty bag, and then returned in the direction of Lei Dianzhen.
There were spots of blood and a red-stained long sword on Cai Yan's clothes. This time, no one was so foolish as to come and cause trouble, and she arrived in Nanshi smoothly.
In the South City, on the ruins, gathered a group of people who were unwilling to eat each other. They were so hungry that their faces were pale and their bodies were thin. They collapsed on the ground, dying, and quietly waiting to die.
The Han Dynasty had experienced droughts intermittently for more than a hundred years, and the ruthless natural disasters had long since squeezed out the last grain of food from the homes of the ordinary people.
The people who stayed here all came from other places that were not originally affected by drought, but encountered sudden drought and locust plagues, which resulted in no harvest and they had no choice but to flee here.
They originally thought there would be hope if they went south, but they encountered war again. When they arrived in Luoyang, they were exhausted and could not walk anymore. They gathered here and lay on the ruins in despair, silently waiting for death to come.
Cai Yan saw this tragic scene and thought to herself:
"I will definitely change all this!"
Even if these disaster victims were given money, it would be useless. There was no shop in Luoyang City now, and they couldn't spend their money at all. Then Cai Yan shouted loudly:
"I want to ask for a guide to Runan County, Jingzhou. I will give you Hu Bing (a type of bread) as a reward, one every three days."
A group of refugees lying on the rubble suddenly brightened up their dull and dying eyes when they heard the word "Hu Bing". They knew there was food to eat.
Hu Bing!
Suddenly, most of the people lying dead, even if they had never heard of Runan, forced themselves to stand up and turned to look in the direction of the sound.
So high!
What a nice view!
Then they couldn't help but look at the red long sword in Cai Yan's hand, and their eyes suddenly dimmed. Then most people continued to lie down, basking in the winter sun, continuing to keep warm and waiting to die.
Cai Yan looked at the group of pale and skinny people in front of her. No one knew where Runan County was. A hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes.
Then he shouted twice again:
"I want to ask a guide to Runan County. I will pay him with Hu cakes, one cake every three days."
"I want to ask a guide to Runan County. I will pay him with Hu cakes, one cake every three days."
At this moment, a discontinuous and weak voice came from a distance:
"My Lady, I know the direction to Runan County in Jingzhou."
His hair was disheveled and tangled like dry grass, covering most of his face. He exuded a sour smell as if he hadn't taken a bath for several months.
The man lying on the rubble, upon seeing the two women approach, said breathlessly:
"I am Xun Da, a descendant of the Yingchuan Xun family. Several years ago, I was abducted by Dong Zhuo and taken to Chang'an. Now, I have finally escaped from Chang'an and come to Luoyang."
"I never thought I would be reduced to starvation. I beg you, my lady, to lend me a helping hand."
Cai Yan covered her nose, then took two steps back, untied the cloth bag beside her, and threw the Hu Bing and a pot of water that she had just confiscated to the person in front of her.
Then he stood aside, waiting for the person in front of him to eat and recover his strength.
An hour and a half later, Xun Da, who had recovered a little strength, came to Cai Yan, bowed respectfully and said:
"Thank you, my lady. I will lead the way for you right away."
As soon as they walked out of the city, a small group of more than ten cavalrymen came towards them. They were originally heading towards the city, but after seeing the faces of the two women, they changed their direction and rushed straight towards the three people.
The leader of the group even put the lance under his armpit, urged his horse to move, and stabbed at Xun Da, the only man among the three.
When Xun Da saw the chaotic soldiers he led charging towards him with all their might, his face instantly turned pale, his eyes filled with fear and despair. With a wave of despair in his heart, he immediately closed his eyes and cried out in sorrow:
"My life is over!"
Cai Yan then looked at Lei Dianzhen, as if to say:
"My Lord God, I can't deal with this kind of cavalry on warhorses. Please help me, Lord God!"
Lei Dianzhen sensed Cai Yan's gaze and then stared at Cai Yan. The branch of the World Tree hidden in his chest emitted emerald green energy, continuously strengthening Cai Yan's strength and physique. It was only one day now, but if he wanted to stand on the ground to fight against these dozen horsemen, it would take at least three days.
Then he raised his head, his purple eyes looking towards the sky, wondering whether killing these dozen people would provoke an attack from the will of this nascent world.
These spiritual lights died before they grew to maturity. Although the nascent will of this world was ignorant, it knew what was good and what was bad.
It is equivalent to running to someone else's house and killing their immature sheep. If the sheep in the house fight with each other and die, it would be fine, but if an outsider does it himself, the owner of the house will inevitably be angry.
The killing of thousands of people before was already a warning.
Well, there are only a dozen people. Considering the way the main body treats the spiritual light, I think a dozen immature spiritual lights will not make the will of this world destroy the world and burn it down together.
Then, his mind moved, and an extremely powerful divine thought surged out from his body, acting on the dozen or so cavalrymen. In an instant, a powerful pressure suddenly descended, acting on every inch of their flesh.
The ferocious and arrogant expressions on the faces of these dozen or so cavalrymen froze in an instant, replaced by extreme horror, full of disbelief and deep fear, and their pupils contracted sharply.
"boom!"
There was a loud bang, and the bodies of the dozen or so cavalrymen exploded at the same time, turning into dozens of balls of blood mist, splattering all over the ground. The pungent smell of blood instantly filled the air.
At the same time, a deafening thunder suddenly exploded in the originally clear sky.
"Rumble"
Then, a bolt of lightning as thick and powerful as a winding dragon suddenly appeared. It was shining with dazzling white light all over, and with a violent force that could destroy everything in the world, it struck towards the real lightning with a jaw-dropping speed in an instant.
Xun Da, who was originally standing there waiting to die, wanted to open his eyes to see what was happening after hearing an inexplicable loud noise.
However, when he opened his eyes, he was horrified by the scene before him. A thick bolt of lightning, glowing white, struck towards him with the momentum of destroying everything.
Xun Da's eyes widened instantly, his pupils filled with endless fear, his face turned pale as paper, his body instinctively fell backwards, and he collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the lightning that was about to kill him.
