Chapter 19: Ceremonial Changes

Dongfang Yu's voice resounded throughout the courtyard, echoing under the cliff adjacent to the courtyard. Most of them are polite words, after all, the people who came to the scene are all characters with heads and faces, and the reason on the surface is to witness Dongfang Yang, in fact, everyone knows the deep meaning, and the Dongfang family has long been accustomed to showing the family status in such a ceremony, and the effect is as good as before.

Gu Xiaobai felt bored after listening to it for a while, and he became interested in the guests at the scene. If nothing else,There should already be a part of the people who have accepted the task like themselves at the scene.,The time limit of the task is before Dongfang Yang swallows the ability bead.,The hero has appeared.,Then there shouldn't be much time left.,But so far everything is normal.,There are no strange people making strange moves.。

"Am I the only one who came in?"

Suddenly, Gu Xiaobai noticed several men in suits in the distance, although the sunlight was not dazzling, they were all wearing sunglasses, there was no expression on their faces, and they didn't make a single movement, like zombies, and the people around them seemed to notice something strange, and they changed seats one after another, trying to stay away from them.

Dongfang Yu's speech was over, he turned around and walked back to his place, sat down on the rattan chair, and the housekeeper behind him took out a wooden box and walked in front of everyone.

"This is the ability bead of my second uncle, Mr. Dongfang Wenyi. ”

The wooden box was opened, and inside was an aqua blue bead, about the size of a ping-pong ball, with faint waves of flowing water inside.

The moment the ability bead appeared, Gu Xiaobai found that the few people he was secretly observing had finally moved, as if they were confirming something with each other, and they kept nodding their heads slightly.

"This is a water ability bead, everyone should also know that its ability is to control the flow of water, in the hands of my second uncle, it can be regarded as out of the limelight, the old gentleman was also a little famous in the ability world back then, I believe that my yang will not bury its brilliance. ”

Dongfang Yang's expression was full of longing for the bead, and the sixteen-year-old boy stood behind his father, his eyes staring motionlessly at the ability bead in the butler's hand, which was something he had fantasized about for many days and nights.

Now Gu Xiaobai is even more sure that the identities of those people are not simple, the unusual movements and expressions between them have exposed the secret of their coveting ability beads, and Gu Xiaobai can see it clearly from the side.

"Haha, there's fun. ”

"What?" Long Xiangyu turned her head to look at Gu Xiaobai with a blank expression.

"You'll find out in a moment, remember to hide behind me. ”

Dongfang Yang took the ability bead in one hand and walked to a huge bronze step, the steps were surrounded by bronze lions, each lion had something similar to the ability bead in his mouth, this is the totem of the Dongfang family, swallowing the ability bead on the bronze lion platform is their ritual that lasts for a hundred years.

The people sitting in the courtyard all looked up at Dongfang Yang. Because innate abilities can only be passed on within the direct blood family, it won't be useful even if they can snatch them up, but it's good to have a chance to witness the inheritance of the ability once in a lifetime.

Dongfang Yang raised the ability bead above his head, and the sunlight shone through the water waves in the bead, dazzling for a while, he knew that his path of ability would start from the next moment.

Suddenly, Dongfang Yang's body froze in place, and his eyes were filled with blood.

The bronze steps were surrounded by a blood-red staircase at some point, and they continued to flow down the stairs like liquid, and soon formed an enveloping trend around Dongfang Yang.

"It's coming!"

There was a commotion from the audience, the beads were obviously still in Dongfang Yang's hands, how could there be an inexplicable ability coming out? And many people knew that Dongfang Wenyi's ability was related to water back then, but now it is clearly blood.

"What's coming?" Long Xiangyu subconsciously grabbed Gu Xiaobai's arm.

"Those guys. Looking in the direction Gu Xiaobai said, the men in suits had already stood up, they were facing the direction of the bronze lion platform, and their eyes hidden under their sunglasses were staring at someone.

The blood-red liquid was getting thicker and thicker, and soon Dongfang Yang's figure was no longer visible, Dongfang Han, who was originally standing behind Dongfang Yu, finally reacted and rushed to the bronze lion platform as fast as possible.

"Yang'er, how are you?" Dongfang Yu also ran over, trying to get Dongfang Yang's response, but no sound came.

"Get out of the way, let me come!" Dongfang Yu roared, the sky above his head instantly darkened, a large area of dark clouds gathered, and there was obvious thunder in the clouds.

"Boom!" A thick bowl of thunder fell, and the blue light exploded on the lion platform, and the dazzling light made everyone present have to close their eyes.

"What? What the hell is this?" Dongfang Han looked at the immovable blood-colored barrier with a shocked expression, his father's heavenly thunder could not shake it at all, which made Dongfang Han unbelievable.

Just as the father and son were standing still, several black-clothed people in the distance rushed over, each of them wrapped in a layer of blood-red liquid, and their bodies turned into a red shadow and rushed towards the lion platform.

"Who are you!" Dongfang Yu waved his hand, and a large amount of thunder exploded in front of him, forcing the figures to stop.

Those few people stopped in front of Dongfang Yu, blood and qi gushed out from their bodies, and instantly attacked Dongfang Yu, the number was more than on the lion platform, and a large amount of blood and qi converged into a red river, trying to drown Dongfang Yu inside.

The thunder exploded, and thunder and lightning continued to spread from Dongfang Yu's body, the momentum was huge, and it continued to flash with terrifying light, blocking the blood qi in front of him.

"Vampires, damn villains, what do you want to do?" Dongfang Yu glared angrily, he knew that these people were not weak, and they were prepared, I was afraid that he would get into trouble.

"Father, I'll help you!" Dongfang Han has been trying to destroy the blood-colored barrier on the lion platform, but after several attempts to make no progress, he turned around and saw the flashing thunder on his father's body, and was eager to help his father break the siege.

"Look at your brother, their goal is the Ability Orb!"

Riots ensued, unknown guests rushed out, and the courtyard was filled with the sound of things breaking and women screaming.

"What the hell is going on?" Long Xiangyu held Gu Xiaobai's arm, her palms were full of sweat, she was frightened by this sudden scene.

"Ah, good chance!" Several men emerged from the crowd, and they began to attack the crowd running out with their abilities, and the courtyard was in shambles.

"Someone else got in, I thought I was the only one. Gu Xiaobai smiled and looked at Dongfang Yu and his son. Dongfang Yu was surrounded by the seven or eight black-clothed people, although the continuous thunder could temporarily confront the other party, but it was not a way to go on like this, blood-red shadows continued to surround him, and those vampires planned to use wheel battles to consume him.

"Give me death!" Dongfang Yu roared angrily, and thunder burst out all over his body, hitting the body of one of the black-clothed men, causing him to freeze in place. Immediately after that, a thunderbolt glowing with yellow light fell from the sky, and the loud noise caused the people in the courtyard who had not had time to evacuate to temporarily lose their hearing, and a strange smell permeated the courtyard.

"Damn, hang like this?" Gu Xiaobai stretched his neck, his eyes full of fear. Because in the place where the thunder fell, the bluestone floor tiles were split black, not only that, but the originally flat ground was split into a large pit more than one meter deep, just like the fire scene, scorched black.

The man in black who was hacked also turned black, and the clothes on his body had already turned into powder.

"Haha, my father is an A-class ability, you are really bold!" Dongfang Han smiled proudly as he dealt with the blood-red shadows that kept coming.

"It's too fierce, I don't know if I'll die if I'm going to die if I'm going to be attacked by a move like that. Gu Xiaobai sighed.

"Don't look, shouldn't we get out of here first?, do you still want to continue the mission?" Long Xiangyu reminded.

"Don't be, I don't know what kind of bad luck has fallen, both missions are such nonsense, I don't want to become an African corpse. ”

The previous few who wanted to cause chaos also stopped their movements when they saw this scene. Soon, a group of black-clothed people rushed in at the door, and when they saw Dongfang Yu who was stalemate with the other party on the other side, they hurriedly rushed over to help.

At this time, something strange happened, the charred black corpse that had been lifeless gradually cracked, and in just a few seconds, all the charred black skin fell off, and then a man with pale skin and naked body appeared.

"Foreigner, sure enough. ”

The man's face was a typical Western face shape, with tall eyebrow bones, deep-set eye sockets, and a wide chin, which reminded Gu Xiaobai of the Edward he met in Japan.

At this time, one of the blood shadows spoke a word of English, and then all the blood shadows sped up, and the blood-red liquid began to surround Dongfang Yu in large quantities.

"What did he say?" Gu Xiaobai couldn't understand the English, so he had to ask Long Xiangyu for help.

He said to speed up. ”

Several people kept rushing towards Dongfang Yu in turns, but they dragged Dongfang Yu against the constantly exploding thunder, while the remaining few blood shadows rushed directly towards Dongfang Han behind him.

The surrounding temperature dropped instantly, and the cold air began to spread, and Dongfang Han's arm was wrapped in crystal ice crystals, and he directly greeted him.

The sound of ice crystals shattering came and went, with Dongfang Han alone, it was really laborious, and within a few rounds, the speed at which the cold qi was generated was far lower than the speed at which the ice crystals were shattered, and Dongfang Han was almost unable to support it.

There are not many people left in the courtyard at this time, Ling Hu Qian and Dongfang Wan'er are hiding behind the pillar in horror, although Ling Hu Qian is also an ability, but her ability is healing, and the current situation does not give her a chance to help at all.

"Yang'er!" An angry roar echoed, Dongfang Yu's eyes widened angrily, and he watched as the blood-red barrier disappeared under the cliff, and then the blood shadows stopped fighting with him and jumped off the cliff one after another.

Dongfang Yu almost didn't hesitate, jumped and jumped off the cliff.

"Dad!" Dongfang Han got up from the ground, endured the severe pain in his body and jumped down behind his father, leaving Ling Huqian, who was in the rain with pear blossoms, and Dongfang Wan'er, who was at a loss, looked at the cliff with dull eyes.
