Chapter 126: The Battle for the Tree of Life (Part I)
At the end of school in the evening, Gu Nanzheng and Mu Qingyu rushed to the People's Hospital again by car, and then saw Li Dongpeng sitting on the hospital bed.
When Li Dongpeng saw the two of them coming, his face was suddenly full of smiles, and he hurriedly beckoned them to sit down.
Gu Nanzheng and Mu Qingyu sat on the edge of the hospital bed, and the two of them glanced at each other, both of them looked like they wanted to speak and stopped, as if there was something stuck in their throats and couldn't speak.
When Li Dongpeng saw their appearance, he also asked curiously, "What's wrong with you two? Do you have anything to say?"
Gu Nanzheng just wanted to vomit quickly, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't help but swallow them, and finally couldn't say them.
Mu Qingyu sighed and said, "Dongpeng, there is a very unfortunate thing, Uncle Li is dead. ”
Li Dongpeng's expression gradually stiffened, and he even fell into a stupor for a while, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, he shook his head funny, and said, "Are you kidding me? How could my father die, he is so loyal and honest, and he won't offend anyone." ”
Mu Qingyu didn't hide it, and directly told him all the ins and outs of the matter.
Li Dongpeng never thought that his father would be involved in such a big thing, and when he thought that his only father really left him, Li Dongpeng couldn't hold back anymore and cried directly.
Gu Nanzheng and Mu Qingyu also sat next to them and didn't speak, they understood that Li Dongpeng needed to vent now, maybe he would feel better after venting.
After a long time, Li Dongpeng's crying gradually disappeared, he raised his cheeks full of tears, and then stared at Gu Nanzheng with dead eyes: "If I'm not mistaken, you've been investigating this matter all along, right? If it weren't for your investigation, maybe the real murderer wouldn't have killed people." ”
Gu Nanzheng was dumbfounded, unable to refute for a while.
What Li Dongpeng said is also true.
In retrospect, as he intervened in the investigation, there were already three people who died because of him.
One is Yang Wenzhong, the former CEO of K. Wah Group.
One is the old director of the previous Public Security Bureau.
Then there is Li Dongpeng's father, Li Dalong.
It was precisely because of his investigation that he attracted the attention of that Mu Nan, although these three people were not killed by him, but their deaths, Gu Nanzheng could not get rid of it.
Mu Qingyu persuaded in a low voice: "Dongpeng, don't be like this, Nan Zheng is just trying to find out the murderer of his parents, he is reasonable, he is not wrong." ”
Li Dongpeng heard her speak and looked at her angrily again.
"It was your uncle who killed my father, right?"
Mu Qingyu's eyes flickered, and she was speechless for a while.
On the contrary, Gu Nanzheng opened his mouth to defend her: "Dongpeng, calm down, the person who really killed your father was not Qingyu's uncle, but a ghost, Mu Nan has become a ghost, and anything he does should have nothing to do with Qingyu." In addition to that, Light Rain is also a victim!"
Li Dongpeng listened to his defense, his body trembled faintly, and finally he hugged the pillow and lay on the bed with a painful face.
"You go out, I don't want to see you two. ”
Mu Qingyu originally wanted to speak, but Gu Nanzheng suddenly grabbed her, and then took her out of the ward.
All of this, they confessed to Dongpeng, as for what Li Dongpeng thinks of them, this is not for them to decide.
And Gu Nanzheng is confident that although Li Dongpeng usually looks very aggressive, his willpower is very strong, although his father's death is a thunderous blow to him, but he must not knock him down.
As long as he is given some time, he will definitely come out again and become the Li Dongpeng they are familiar with and know.
After sending Mu Qingyu to the school's dormitory, Jin Xun called again to inform him that the battle for the Tree of Life was about to begin, and asked him to return to the team immediately.
Gu Nanzheng didn't stop at all, and disappeared directly into the night sky.
That night, the entire news network was reporting the news about the battle for tomorrow's tree of life.
The entire Egawa City can be said to be on full alert during this night, but almost all the monks rushed to the Dragon Group Headquarters without any hesitation, and then under the dispatch of the headquarters, they scattered all the corners of Egawa City to snipe all the ghosts that will appear tomorrow.
And the characters on the list also gathered in the headquarters to prepare for the battle.
Ordinary residents almost all stay in their homes, with their doors and windows closed, and no longer wander the streets.
During this night, the entire city of Echeon was quiet after a period of noise, but this calm did not last long, because at dawn, a terrible storm was coming.
Gu Nanzheng had already joined the team in the middle of the night, and then notified everyone to be on full alert to deal with the life-and-death battle tomorrow.
During the long night, almost none of the four teams guarding the Tree of Life dared to sleep, and almost all of them stood there as steady as a rock, with no sleepiness on their faces.
When the dawn gradually came, everyone's eyes were full of light, and a sharp light swept out of their bodies.
As dawn fell, almost all corners of the streets emitted black gas, and boundless black fog swept through, and countless demons and ghosts suddenly appeared in them, almost all over the many corners of Egawa City.
The black gas rose, as if enveloping the entire city of Jiangchuan.
And at this moment, there was a spiritual power surging in the place where those black qi bloomed, and then the fierce battle began to sound, and countless fighting sounds converged, deafening.
When the battle began, the headquarters of the dragon group also had nearly dozens of rays of light shooting out, almost heading straight to all corners of Egawa City.
That's the top ten geniuses on the list!
Nowadays, there are fierce battles in almost all corners of Jiangchuan City, and every street is full of surveillance, Jin Xun can observe the situation through monitoring, once the situation is unfavorable on any side, these ten people led by Yang Ao will quickly rush to the designated place to control the situation.
In the enclosed space, a strange light suddenly bloomed, Gu Nanzheng and the other four captains almost all turned their heads to look, they found that in the center of this space, there was suddenly a sapling growing strongly, the sapling grew extremely fast, and in a short period of time, it had grown into a towering tree.
This is the Tree of Life!
There was a green aura on the surface of the Tree of Life, and a strong life force spread from it, and Gu Nanzheng and the others felt relaxed and happy just by smelling it.
"The Tree of Life has appeared, and there is still an hour before it blooms, so everyone will return to their designated position immediately!" Wang Ming shouted, leading the team to the entrance he was guarding.
The other two captains also led the team back to their posts.
Gu Nanzheng waved his hand, and the entire team almost swarmed out and guarded the alley.
Gu Nanzheng waited quietly, a sharp sword flashing above the Fire Cloud Sword in his hand.
As the minutes passed, when the ten minutes came, the entire sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and countless demonic qi formed clouds and appeared out of thin air.
There were four of those clouds. They all fell outside the four entrances.
Gu Nanzheng opened his eyes and looked at the more than twenty demons and monsters that appeared opposite him.
Among the demons and monsters on the opposite side, the leader was a man with a burly body, a vicious wolf tattooed on his chest, and a mace in his hand, he looked at Gu Nanzheng and them with a fierce look in his eyes, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face: "Interesting, it seems that the monks of Jiangchuan City are really getting worse and worse, and even a person with a sixfold Qi cultivation realm can be a captain." ”
His name is Lone Wolf, and he is a demon whose strength has reached the seventh level of Qi cultivation realm.
This is also the reason why he doesn't take Gu Nanzheng in his eyes.
Gu Nanzheng stroked the Huoyun Sword with his palm, looking at the raging flames burning on the sword's body, he smiled coldly and said, "I hope your strength can be as powerful as your mouth." ”
The lone wolf shook his head disdainfully and said, "You are still the first person who dares to talk to me like this with this kind of strength." I think when I tear you apart, you'll know what life is better than death. ”
Gu Nanzheng also replied-for-tat: "After all, he is a beast, but he has awakened into a demon, what do you have to be arrogant?"
Hearing the other party describe him as a brute, the lone wolf's face sank, and his footsteps stomped directly on the ground, and a strong wind swept out, directly tearing out countless cracks in the walls of the alley.
"Human boy, this time we are prepared, in order to make you feel hopeless, let's take a look at the situation in the other three battle circles. The lone wolf's face was full of pride, and he jumped directly, and his body had already landed on the top of the alley wall.
Here you can see the battles in the other three alleys.
The lone wolf's mind was obvious, he just wanted Gu Nanzheng to see with his own eyes what the battle in the other three battle circles was like, he wanted Gu Nanzheng to watch the scene of their people being tortured and killed, and then witness the scene of the destruction of the Tree of Life.
After that, he will make a move and make the other party die a miserable death.
Gu Nanzheng also followed him and landed at the top of the alley, looking at the other three battle circles.
The first battle circle was Xiao Qiuyuan's team, his opponent was a ghost, and his strength was quite good, and he had reached the eightfold level of Qi cultivation.
The two sides can be described as evenly matched, so as soon as the battle began, the two sides entered a white-hot state, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Xiao Qiuyuan is also worthy of being the strongest of all the captains, in the face of the ghost's attack, he also chose to take a tough posture with the other party, waving the long sword in his hand like the wind, and stabbing out more than 20 swords in a row in just a dozen seconds, the speed was extremely fast, which made the ghost quite embarrassed for a while.
And the second battle circle is the green team.
Her opponent was also a ghost, and her strength had reached the sevenfold peak of the Qi Cultivation Realm, much stronger than a lone wolf.
Facing a tough opponent, although Lu Yin is a woman, she leads the team to directly rush to kill, and the two sides are almost evenly matched.
And the last battle circle is Wang Ming's team.
His opponent is a demon.
To Gu Nanzheng's surprise, the strength of that demon had reached the eightfold peak of the Qi Cultivation Realm, which was one level stronger than Xiao Qiuyuan, the strongest of the four captains!
Wang Ming is in trouble now!
Looking at Gu Nanzheng's expression, the lone wolf seemed to be enjoying it very much, and said confidently: "You stupid humans don't know how much preparation we have made to deal with today's battle, all four of you teams will die here today!"
Gu Nanzheng's face was grim, and his eyes stayed on the battle circle where Wang Ming was.
At best, Wang Ming only had the sevenfold peak of the Qi Cultivation Realm, and this kind of strength was almost impossible to be the opponent of that demon.
In fact, Gu Nanzheng's guess was completely correct, under the pressure of the strength of that demon bandit, Wang Ming was almost directly at a disadvantage, and the entire team was extremely passive.
If this development continues, defeat will not be long before it is lost!
