Chapter 375: Lighting the Beacon Fire
-----
At this time, in the forest near St. Cade City, a pair of blue eyes were constantly staring in the direction of the town, originally there was only a small patch, but then accompanied by countless "swish" sounds, almost all the forests around this huge St. Cade City were surrounded by this strange blue light!
Even the sky gradually became gloomy and dimmed, and the strange wind and clouds slowly began to rise, and the strange wind slowly swept over the four people, and Zhao Yifan's face also dimmed.
He looked back at the endless clearing behind him, then turned his head to look at St. Cayde's City in front of him.
"Brother......
At this time, Zhao Zhiqi shouted Zhao Yifan with some concern.
But the doctor seemed to accept his fate, lit a cigarette, and said lightly, "Now as long as you throw me out, maybe the people in here can be saved." β
Because the Soul Eater will not take any memories of his absence here because of his death, and then go to find other people with the same ability as his physique to devour, and less than the last of the five people falls, the Soul Eater will not blindly attack humans.
However, Wang Xinyu looked at Zhao Yifan and said, "Then you have to ask him, are you willing to leave you." β
At this time, Zhao Yifan's face was like ashes, his expression was gloomy, as if he was pondering something, if he passed through Saint Kaide City now, then those Soul Eaters outside would definitely tear them apart, the current number, who knows how many.
But if you don't go out, you will have to face enemies from all directions, and this place will also become devastated because of the invasion of soul eaters.
Thinking about it, Zhao Yifan frowned, and complained reluctantly, "But ...... Damn, isn't there any other way......"
If you go out with a doctor, everyone in this town can be killed by the Soul Eater at the main gate, and if you stay, there is no hope of preventing this tragedy from happening.
Since you can't stop it, it's better not to stop it!
So Zhao Yifan closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, there was only coldness and chill left in his eyes, he looked in the direction of St. Caide City and said, "Let's go, let's leave here tonight!"
...... St. Cade......
At this time, all the townspeople in St. Caide were startled by the vision, and some of the common people of faith began to pray, while others began to put away their pawnshops early, or go home and lock their doors and windows.
This series of actions also alarmed the king who ruled here.
In the town of St. Cade, there is only a bunch of extravagant manor houses and a huge palace.
And in the palace, a man with a sturdy figure, a disfigured body, a round face and a white beard with a sharp eyes was less than the gods in front of him.
His face was gloomy, and he asked in a loud voice, "You say, this is heavenly punishment?!"
At this time, the four men and one woman standing below in different costumes were the king's oracles, and they were dressed slightly exaggeratedly.
"Yes......"
When the four oracles heard the king's wrath, they trembled and replied.
They lowered their bodies, cold sweat flowing, and their eyes were full of fear and awe.
But the king narrowed his eyes dangerously, slapped the throne angrily with a "snap", and shouted angrily: "Fart! I am friendly to the country, and the people are alive and well, how can I say that the heavenly punishment is coming! All the mouths of your divine envoys are full of shit!"
After that, he pointed at the four people and roared angrily, "Come on, burn the four thieves at the stake!"
Among the four oracles, a man wearing a dark green robe and a white round hat on his head immediately spoke, "King, you are ignoring the signs of heavenly punishment and will beckon to heavenly punishment!"
Poof!
As soon as he finished speaking, a spear pierced his chest.
The man spurted out a mouthful of hot blood, looking at his pierced chest with a shocked face, while the other three also erupted into panicked exclamations.
One of them, a man in a pitch-black robe with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, immediately knelt on the ground in fright and shouted, "The sky will be a vision, the wind will rise, the strange wind will blow in the face, when the sky will be illuminated by strange starlight, when the nightmare like a tide hits, it will be the time when this land will perish!
After saying that, he hurriedly kowtowed and begged, "Your Excellency, I don't ask for my life, I only hope that you can kill me in the name of sacrifice, so that the people can be safe!"
As he spoke, the two guards roughly dragged the man up and walked out.
But the man kept struggling and shouted, "King, king, you must believe me!
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the gate of the castle was kicked open, and then a soldier captain walked in with a wounded face and a solemn expression, and said, "Report! I have escorted the suspicious person found at the door in!"
However, everyone in the hall looked at him speechlessly.
I saw that he was tied up by Wuhuada, and Zhao Yifan dragged him in like a box.
Wang Xinyu, Zhao Zhiqi and the doctor stood at the door with an embarrassed smile.
Immediately after Zhao Yifan threw the soldier commander in front of the king, the sound of swords unsheathed immediately sounded around him, and the atmosphere suddenly became very depressing.
"You're the king?" Zhao Yifan said with a disdainful smile.
The king, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes dangerously, and then slapped his chair and roared, "Who's coming!
As soon as the words fell, the soldiers around them, including the soldiers who were about to escort away the divine envoy, also let go of the divine envoy and hugged Zhao Yifan and them.
"Huh. However, Zhao Yifan smiled in a low voice, and then his face suddenly sank, and he waved his hand casually.
Call!
"Wow!"
Suddenly, a bloody crimson hurricane rose around Zhao Yifan, knocking all the soldiers around him away.
And Zhao Yifan, who was in the wind, his silver hair was messy with the wind, and he slowly said with a gloomy expression, "Sacrifice, I think you are a fart." β
With that, he walked straight to the king, but his hair had returned to its normal black.
At this time, the king had been completely shocked by the man in front of him, and he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.
This...... What is the origin of this man? That terrible aura just now, was he created?! And, the head ...... What's the matter with the hair? Does it change color? Is it sorcery?!
However, just when the king was shocked, one of Zhao Yifan's feet had already stepped on the steps and approached him step by step, and Zhao Yifan's gloomy and hideous smile was getting closer and closer to him.
"What you said earlier is quite methodical and acceptable, but the more you talk about it, the more you say, what kind of sacrifice, who is it sacrificed to? It's just nonsense!"
When the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man heard this, he was immediately unhappy, because he proposed the sacrifice, so he directly pointed at Zhao Yifan on the spot and asked angrily, "Do you know who we are? We are divine envoys, you dare to question me? Where did you come from, this demon who knows how to do witchcraft!"
However, Zhao Yifan ignored him, just walked straight to the king, looked at the man who used to be high in the past, and said with a sneer, "It's still too late to light the beacon fire now, what these divine envoys said is indeed right, this place is going to be destroyed, but sacrifices, prayers or something, do you really think there is a god in this world? It's just something you fantasize." β
"You demon, how dare you be so disrespectful to God!" The manly man with the sharp-beaked monkey's cheeks jumped like thunder, pointing at Zhao Yifan and yelling.
"Hehe!" However, Zhao Yifan only laughed at himself when he heard it, and then said, "God, that thing does not exist, and there is no heavenly punishment or heavenly punishment, there is just chaos, if the beacon fire is not lit in time, the entire St. Kaide City will be destroyed in one fell swoop." β
With that, he turned his head to look at the king, who had been overwhelmed by his momentum at this time, and said, "Then our merciful king, what will be your choice?"
The king looked at Zhao Yifan's smiling face and swallowed his saliva with fear on his face.
At this time, those men and women who were originally going to be dragged away were also loosened by the soldiers because of Zhao Yifan's arrival, and now they are no longer restrained.
Among them, the tall man wearing a white robe and a five-pointed star on his head pointed at Zhao Yifan and exclaimed in horror, "Evil evil evil ...... Evil wind, it's him, it's not some heavenly punishment, it's a demon coming! He's the demon!"
The divine envoy's fingers pointing at Zhao Yifan kept trembling, and the wrinkles on his face also jumped together, and his eyes were full of horror.
And the blonde woman dressed in sea blue also exclaimed in horror, "Oh my God, the color of his hair has changed back to black, and his eyes will also change......!" He's a demon from hell!"
However, the black-robed man spat disdainfully and sneered, "What a demon, I think he is just a messenger of the devil, let me destroy this demon!"
With that, he grasped the pendant on his chest and began to mutter.
And Zhao Yifan listened with a confused face, and at the same time extremely embarrassed, he said speechlessly, "How old are you, what demon? What god? Are you naΓ―ve? How can Lao Tzu be a demon, blind!"
The three people at the gate also nodded, and at the same time, Zhao Zhiqi also said secretly.
That's right, brother, tell them that gods and demons don't exist, and you are the hero who came to save them!
However, Zhao Yifan suddenly bared his teeth and showed an extremely hideous smile, and said, "How can I be a low-level thing like a demon, Lao Tzu is a big demon king~." β
Coupled with the aura released by Zhao Yifan, the two of them were directly frightened by Zhao Yifan and fainted on the spot, except for the black-robed man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
And the three people at the door heard that Zhao Yifan was originally entangled in this, and the three of them were directly petrified and speechless, and complained in unison, "You are embarrassed to say them, aren't you also very naΓ―ve! What a big demon king, I think you are a big idiot!"
Immediately, Zhao Zhiqi rolled her eyes, and said speechlessly, "Brother, you play by yourself first, let's go out and wait for you first, hurry up." β
With that, the three of them left.
And Zhao Yifan just nodded, then turned his head to look at the king and said, "I'm in a hurry, hurry up and order to go down and raise the beacon fire, beat the war drums, close the city gate, and defend the west gate and the south gate, what you have to deal with is a group of monsters, if you don't listen to me, starting from the west gate and the south gate, this land will be destroyed in a hurry." β
However, as soon as the words fell, a sword suddenly stretched out behind Zhao Yifan, and the blade just touched Zhao Yifan's cheek, and he felt the strong murderous aura behind him.
"Stay away from the king. β
Zhao Yifan suddenly heard a low, hoarse and neutral voice behind him.
But Zhao Yifan lowered his head and smiled, "Hehe, I'm careless." β
When the king saw the person behind Zhao Yifan, he immediately seemed to have confidence, and almost roared with a crying voice, "It's just right to come, Hitomi, kill him quickly!"
As soon as the words fell, the eyes behind Zhao Yifan suddenly became sharp, and the sword flashed.
Qiang~!
I saw that Zhao Yifan was between the lightning and flint, and his backhand flicked away the blade, and the sparks suddenly splashed, and the man couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
His gauntlets can stop my sword!
And Zhao Yifan almost turned around at the moment when he subconsciously threw a punch.
Boom!
"Uh~ah!"
The sword grazed the king's beard and pierced into the throne, so frightened that he quickly screamed, and crawled down the throne, very embarrassed.
And on this side, Zhao Yifan, who almost subconsciously returned a punch, also saw the person in front of him, a woman with red hair and red eyes, and his movements paused.
It's actually a woman?
That's right, Zhao Yifan doesn't beat women, unless it's a last resort.
However, in such an interval of meals, the woman also recovered from the shock, and with her other hand, she pulled out a short sword and stabbed it towards Zhao Yifan's ribs.
Seeing this, Zhao Yifan hurriedly dodged back, and then the woman backhanded another sword, and at the same time pulled out the sword stuck on the throne.
However, Zhao Yifan kicked her wrist holding the short sword faster than him, and only heard a "click", and her wrist was directly kicked and dislocated.
"Uh......"
The woman was in pain, and the dagger fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yifan hurriedly held her other hand, flipped it, twisted it, and the woman was easily caught by him, and then Zhao Yifan snatched her shuriken with lightning speed, and then turned sharply and pointed at the king who wanted to crawl away and smiled, "Remember my words? β
At this time, the king was so frightened that he had lost his ability to speak, so he could only nod his head "mmmmmmmm
However, at this time, Zhao Yifan only heard a "click", and then the hand that was originally holding the woman suddenly had no resistance, he let out a puzzled "um", and then raised his hand to find that he was actually holding a gauntlet in his hand.
Then I looked down and saw that the woman was gone.
Zhao Yifan twitched the corner of his mouth.
Hehe, the golden cicada sheds its shell?
"Drink, ahhhh
At this time, a coquettish sound suddenly came from above his head, and he saw a woman holding a dagger and stabbing at Zhao Yifan's neck.
Zhao Yifan twitched the corners of his mouth, it was the first time he had seen such a pestering enemy, the boss had compromised, and his subordinates were still desperate.
Airplanes~.
I saw Zhao Yifan holding the dagger between his fingers, the woman's eyes shrank, and she exclaimed, "How is it possible!"
After Zhao Yifan heard her voice, he said with some surprise: "It turns out that your voice can also be a woman's voice! Then why don't you use your original voice to speak, and deliberately keep your voice so low? β
When the woman heard Zhao Yifan's words, she suddenly felt a little annoyed and angry, she gritted her teeth angrily, spit out the word "death" with a hideous face, and then stabbed Zhao Yifan in the face with a dagger in her backhand.
However, Zhao Yifan closed his eyes and sighed, "Bored." β
Click!
I saw Zhao Yifan clip his two fingers, break the dagger, and then dodge the woman's attack sideways, and then quickly slapped her to the throne with a palm.
Whew!
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yifan quickly swung out a sword, cutting off a large piece of one of the horns of the throne against the woman's head, and then put the sword against the woman's neck.
Rustle rustle...... Rumble!
"Huh~Ahhh......"
The horns of the throne slowly fell to the ground, and the king let out a frightened scream and moved back.
And Zhao Yifan looked at the woman sitting on the throne in front of him, staring at him with a face of disbelief, and said, "Don't bother me, you only have an hour, those monsters are not as merciful as me, if you don't be vigilant, within two hours, the southwest gate of St. Cayde City will be flattened, and everything around you, including the town, will be destroyed in one fell swoop, I'm still in a hurry, so I won't say much, how to judge, you can see for yourself." β
After that, Zhao Yifan took the sword back, broke it with a "click", and then looked at the red-haired woman in front of him with a smile and said, "In the future, use your original voice to speak, it's very good." β
The woman was slightly stunned, and looked at Zhao Yifan with a complicated expression, but he threw the broken sword to the ground, and then turned to leave.
"Wait a minute!"
However, at the moment when Zhao Yifan stepped out of the castle, the man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks suddenly stopped him.
"Huh?" Zhao Yifan turned around and glanced at him with his peripheral vision.
After reading the words, the man found that it was useless to Zhao Yifan, so he was a little shaken, the man in front of him was a person, not a demon or a demon.
He looked at Zhao Yifan, couldn't help but swallow his saliva and asked, "Who are you?"
When Zhao Yifan heard this, he decisively turned around and left, but before leaving, he didn't forget to raise his hand and wave, leaving a sentence, "I said it all, the Great Demon King." β
......
After Zhao Yifan left the castle, he began to run all the way, the east gate was in front of him, and Wang Xinyu, Zhao Zhiqi and the doctor had been waiting here for a long time.
When Wang Xinyu saw Zhao Yifan coming, he immediately waved his hand excitedly and shouted, "Here, here!"
Zhao Yifan smiled slightly when he saw it, and immediately ran over.
When he reached the east gate, they had already lowered the soldiers here, and a beacon fire was lit above the castle of St. Cayde not far away, and the war drums began to sound.
Immediately, Zhao Yifan looked at the black pressure outside, slowly walked out of the forest, and the soul devouring beast that was about to move said, "Okay, get ready, there will be no such things in the valley as there are, you have to run forward desperately." β
After that, Zhao Yifan and the others walked out of St. Cade City, looking at the soul devouring beast that was about to move, with teeth and claws, Zhao Yifan suddenly showed an arrogant smile and said, "It's so cute and chic, it really doesn't look like a thing." β
Roar~!
With the roar of the Soul Eater, the west, south, and north gates of St. Cade City were filled with a loud blast of bombardment.
Suddenly there was a fight!
