Chapter 1117 Failed Attempt to Break Through the Gate, Returning to Nanshui
Chu Chen raised his head, a smile appearing on his lips.
"Haha, I've finally found you."
After he finished speaking, a surge of power from heaven and earth erupted from his palm and struck upwards. The next moment, a pale blue door appeared in Chu Chen's eyes.
Then, he mustered all his strength and pushed towards the door.
However, the door remained as if it had been welded shut, completely immovable.
Chu Chen shook his head in disappointment, downed a bottle of water, and then produced a missile launcher.
But after two shells, the door remained unchanged.
At this moment, Chu Chen was extremely anxious, as if he were locked in a cage.
He did indeed have super weapons, but not many, and at this moment he was caught in a dilemma.
Late at night, a mushroom cloud rose above Kushan Mountain in Guning.
After firing the cannonball, Chu Chen returned to the Void Gate and shook his head in disappointment.
"It seems that in order to break through this barrier, I must improve my strength. I don't need to reach the Saint Realm, but I must at least reach the Heavenly God Realm to have a chance."
Thinking of this, he gave a wry smile: "It seems that I have quite a connection with this Gu Ning!"
The next day at noon, a white horse carrying Chu Chen, dressed in black, slowly appeared on the road from Kushan back to Nanshui.
He held a bottle of water in his hand, and his stomach was already bulging.
But soon after, Chu Chen dismounted and went to the roadside, drained the water, and then gulped down a lot more.
"The progress is too slow. Although there is a foundation from before, we have only reached the strength of a ninth-grade expert at this point."
"To reach the Celestial God Realm, I don't know how many days or how much spring water it will take."
Chu Chen muttered to himself, but his mind was actually counting the amount of spring water he had brought in the space.
After some deliberation, he set his sights on the so-called general who had escaped with the orb of light.
There's no other way; this world severely suppresses its own power of heaven and earth. Therefore, those orbs of light are indispensable. Only by disguising the power of heaven and earth in this world can one's strength advance rapidly.
Half a month later, Chu Chen entered Nanshui City.
Chu Chen stood at the gate of Nanshui City, watching the smoke and fire filling the air inside. The city gate was open, and countless refugees gathered at the gate. There were also some people who looked like bandits, who were scavenging for supplies among the refugees with knives.
Chu Chen immediately understood that this was the situation caused by the so-called Gomo army.
Presumably due to insufficient troops, after capturing Nanshui City, they headed straight north to Qinghe.
Chu Chen didn't have time to deal with their affairs; he just wanted to find the so-called Great General as soon as possible and get those light orbs.
So he spurred his white horse and headed straight for the gate of Nanshui City.
"Brother, look! A big spender has arrived!"
"Where?"
Several bandits looked up and saw Chu Chen riding a white horse, looking like a rich young master, coming towards them.
He immediately gathered a few men around, then pointed his sword at Chu Chen and said, "Leave the money and horses, you can leave!"
"Do any of you know where the Gomo people have gone?"
"Kid, can't you understand what I'm saying? I told you to bring money and grain, and instead you're asking me questions!"
Without wasting words, Chu Chen raised his hand and shot the shouting man to the ground, then pointed at another person and said.
Do you know where the Gomo people have gone?
"Kid, you... killed someone without cause. Do you really think we brothers are pushovers?"
Seeing his brother lying lifeless on the ground, another person also yelled at Chu Chen.
Moreover, he brandished his long sword and charged towards Chu Chen.
But the next moment, just like the others before him, he fell asleep immediately!
"And you? Do you even know? I gave you the chance. If I were to ask them, you'd be out of the picture!"
“Brother… no, sir, the Gomo people have headed north, supposedly to the border. Their next stop should be the border town.”
After hearing "Border Town," Chu Chen shook his head, thinking to himself that it was the first place he had ever been. It seemed that after he was sucked into the black hole and thrown into this world, he must have been in Bitter Mountain.
For some reason, I was thrown a long way before I stopped.
Since Nanshui is right next to the border town, this trip can be considered a return visit.
After listening to the kid's words, Chu Chen looked at the refugees' longing eyes, shook his head, and with a few quick shots, took care of the whole group.
Immediately afterwards, he rode his horse directly into the city.
After unloading his horse at the city gate, he leaped onto the city wall and, with a wave of his hand, countless grains of food fell among the refugees.
After doing all this, Chu Chen didn't linger but headed straight for the border town.
Although he brought enough supplies, he couldn't save the entire city in the end. Moreover, even if you fill your stomach, you can't fill the hearts of the people.
Therefore, this grain was only given out of consideration for those light orbs, to save some lives in Gu Ning.
A lone white horse galloped off, leaving everyone in its dust, heading towards the border town.
The young master on horseback held a gun in one hand and a large thermos in the other, gulping down a mouthful of liquor.
Every now and then, they would fire bullets at the scattered Gomo soldiers by the roadside.
They would also occasionally toss bags of food to the refugees by the roadside.
World peace is a stability that everyone desires, but there are always those who, in order to seize resources and for the sake of their own hegemony, think of going to other people's territories and acting recklessly.
Therefore, he was born for killing with one hand and for saving the world with the other.
Wherever they went, they were worshipped, but some people worshipped while they died, while others cheered while they were alive.
In the border town, Zhuang Xianyun looked at the dark mass of Gomo soldiers outside the city walls, and a look of despair crept into her heart.
That's right, she had nowhere left to retreat.
From the capital to Qinghe, and from Qinghe to the border town.
Here, they were trapped in the border town, fighting like cornered beasts.
"Your Majesty, the city's food supplies are running low. We urge Your Majesty to make plans as soon as possible."
"How many more days can we hold on?"
"No more than five days!"
"Haha, five days? Could it be that Heaven intends to destroy my Gu Ning, and ruin the century-old foundation laid by my ancestors?"
At this moment, Zhuang Xianyun was disheveled. During her escape southward, she had no time to enjoy a life of luxury, nor had she remembered that she was an emperor and needed to maintain an imperial image.
"Send word that four days from now, let all the brothers eat and drink their fill, then go out of the city and fight them to the death!"
Now that things have come to this, the only thing she can do is to make sure the soldiers have a good meal and that the people leave with full stomachs!
Less than an hour after she gave the order, suddenly, a series of rattling sounds came from outside the city.
Zhuang Xianyun and her soldiers stood atop the city wall, looking down at an old horse, and asked, "Who is this person?"
