C55 (1/2)
In this battle, the losses of Divine Martial City and Escort Regiment could be said to be disastrous.
The substitute commander, Yin Zhijie, had been severely injured and had fainted. Vice Commander Zhao Fang had spent all of her effort on one arm, causing all six Captains to die. Eight centurions had been killed, more than thirty lightly injured, and a dozen of them were heavily injured. Even including Sun Xue Shan and Liu Xuan Ren, there were less than ten.
When Li Sicong brought everyone back to the Earth God Ship, he immediately ordered the helmsman to drive the boat to a place far away from the mouth of the ocean, so as to prevent Escort Regiment from continuing to chase them.
At this time, a young man who was originally guarding the boat, who was around the same age as Li Sicong and was equally handsome, walked out of the cabin. When he saw Li Sicong, he asked: ”Junior Brother, what's wrong, how did you end up in such a sorry state?”
The moment Li Sicong saw this person, he said unhappily: ”Senior Brother Huo, I've underestimated those people from Escort Regiment. I never thought that their strength was so much higher than I expected, to the point that even Hall Master Jin was injured in their hands.”
The person who came ”oh” asked: ”Then how is Hall Master Jin's injury?”
Upon hearing the other party's question, Li Sicong immediately drooped his head and said dejectedly: ”To cover us while we escaped, Hall Master Jin ignited his own Natal Elemental Energy. Although I have consumed the Martial Ancestor's Spirit Recovery Pill in time, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight with anyone in the future. ”
That person replied with an ”oh”, as if he wasn't really concerned about Jin Wujing's injuries. He then continued, ”Who can you blame for this? Back then, when I said that I would go with you, you and Hall Master Jin wouldn't go without me. Now that you've returned in defeat, you can only blame yourselves for not listening to me back then. ”
The man made Li Sicong's face turn red, then white, but he could only stay silent. Here, he could lose his temper at anyone, but not at the man in front of him. He could not and did not dare.
Li Sicong did not dare, but someone else did. Just as the man finished speaking, a coquettish, husky voice came from behind him.
”Huo Yunjian, you little rascal, don't talk so sarcastically. The back door of this old woman's house is burning with pain right now. If you dare to stay here and gloat, I'll let you have a taste of this too. ”
The one who spoke was Ren Ji, who had been stabbed in the butt by Zhao Fang. did not dare to offend Huo Yunjian, and there was also someone who did not dare to offend Huo Yunjian, and that was this Ren Ji.
Hearing Ren Ji's curses from the cabin, Li Sicong had found a way out. He anxiously pulled Huo Yunjian and said: ”Senior brother Huo, Granny Ren is currently in the fire, let's hide for a bit.”
Huo Yunjian glanced at the cabin, and muttered: ”Old slut!” After that, he followed Li Sicong to the cabin on the other side.
Leng Jun found out from Hua Linglong that the person who kidnapped those noble women from the Divine Martial City was one of the Earth Divine King's subordinates, and followed behind the Divine Martial City. He also wanted to see the background of this Earth Divine King. Besides, he had been accused of being a ”rapist”, so he had to take this opportunity to wash away his guilt.
However, halfway through their journey, an accident occurred.
Leng Jun walked the entire way, but did not ride a horse. So his speed was slower than his Divine Martial City by quite a bit, and in the blink of an eye, it had already darkened.
