Chapter 54: Sword Soul

As far as the eye could see, there were endless wails and ruins, pavilions crumbling in smoke, maids fleeing the palace with screams, imperial flags fluttering in the night wind, and the corpses of soldiers covering the entire precinct.

The broken sword and halberd sucked the blood of too many innocent people in this solemn night, and the fire in the imperial capital of Xuanfang was soaring, from the noon gate of the imperial palace to the inner gate, the sound of fighting almost did not stop all night, and it was so shocking that people's spines were cold.

A long-planned mutiny came and went in a hurry, and it didn't take long for the rebels to invade the imperial capital of Xuanfang Kingdom, leaving only a few Imperial Forest Army to resist stubbornly, but in the face of a large number of rebels, even the elite with high martial arts could not hold out for long.

On the stargazing platform in the imperial garden of the imperial capital, a broken candle lit the gauze cover, and the dim firelight illuminated the mess and chaos in the imperial capital, and also illuminated Li Yanyan's soot-stained but beautiful side face, which was the kind of gentle beauty exclusive to oriental women.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please wait with me and leave quickly! the rebels will soon find out here!" a guard with a knife knelt on one knee and begged Li Yanyan to leave.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't know about the changes in the imperial capital yet, and he needs to rush to the front line as soon as possible to report it, so that he can't let these chaotic ministers and thieves subvert my Xuanfang's society!" The other guard kept pouring blood from the corner of his mouth, which showed that he had suffered a lot of internal injuries.

"No, my father's bones are not cold, I can't leave!" Li Yanyan's beautiful eyes were full of determination, "I am here, the army in the imperial capital still has the belief to resist, if I leave, it is equivalent to abandoning them." ”

"But Her Royal Highness Princess, the other princes have already left, doesn't your stay here mean that you will die in vain?

"You are willing to defend the Xuanfang royal family to the death!"

The words of the two guards were generous and awe-inspiring, and they had decided to leave their lives on this land forever.

Li Yanyan never thought that one day she would be a girl standing between life and death, and her life and the dignity of the royal family were placed at both ends of the scale.

"Brother, Yanyan misses you so much," Li Yanyan's eyes were full of tears, and she looked up at the cold lonely moon in the sky, "But I have to do this, if we can't see each other again, let this ruthless bright moon carry my thoughts to the border, you can definitely hear it, right?"

"If there is an afterlife, Yanyan is still willing to be your sister, but I don't want to be born in this imperial family again. A tear ran across her cheek and fell on the black knife that was leaning on the railing, and the pitch-black blade swallowed the tear in one fell swoop.

Li Yanyan's gaze immediately became sharp and cold, she looked at the palace burning in the fire in the distance, and finally made up her mind.

"Give me the talisman of the Imperial Forest Army!" Li Yanyan clenched his black knife.

"Your Highness, Princess—" The two guards struggled to their feet, their torn armor clanging.

"Don't come along, you two!"

Li Yanyan had just walked to the edge of the high platform, and then she stopped, her slender hand tightly squeezing the jade tiger-shaped talisman.

"May I ask you for one thing?"

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, you said that your subordinates will never give up!"

"If I can't come back, please give my body to my brother, I don't want to be defiled by those executioners," Li Yanyan looked at the dark night hidden by the mountains, "If I really can't do it, it's better to bury my body in the north outside the imperial city, I want to be closer to my brother." ”

"Your Highness Princess!" the guards pleaded as they fell to their knees.

But everything was in vain, Li Yan's cigarette butt walked down the high platform without looking back, the green silk melted into the night, and the stars fell on the top of the mountains.

"The Guard!"

"In!"

"Come with me!"

"Yes!"

A white figure led hundreds of Imperial Guards generously towards death, and none of them retreated.

Half a wisp of tulle embroidered with brocade characters drifted with the north wind to the distant pass, where a young man in a black robe was riding a war horse and leading the black cavalry army to tread the wind, with yellow sand in the sky behind him, and the stars were like the sea.

Li Shiyi looked down at everything that happened here from the top of the imperial palace, and he watched the wisp of remnant soul incense disappear, but he couldn't do anything.

He roared, struggled, angry and desperate, and strands of tears turned into meteors speeding through the sky. The person on the ground was his own sister, and now Su Jin was covered with cold blood, her face was so pale and weak, and her small body was full of shocking wounds.

"Yanyan, Yanyan!Don't!" Li Shiyi's body trembled violently.

This is the second time in Li Shiyi's mind that this real scene has been recreated, a royal relative of Xuanfang Kingdom colluded with foreign vassals to make rebellion and subvert the government of Xuanfang Kingdom, and he didn't even see the last side of his sister.

"Professor Russell! Oh no!" Sophia hurried to the pharmacy, "Chairman Li's body spasmed uncontrollably, and his mouth kept talking in his sleep!"

At this time, Professor Russell was discussing the diagnosis and treatment plan with the medical team of the B department, and Sava went to the vice president to get the "purification serum" and could not return for a while, and he had to protect Li Shiyi's safety to the maximum extent in a limited time.

"You wait!" Russell wiped the sweat from his forehead, "There are also ice cubes under the hospital bed, and it's best to put ice cubes around his body to cool him down!"

"Go! I'll be there later!"

"Yes!" Sophia replied and ran away.

Professor Russell and the doctors are hesitating about the dosage of sedatives, the last time under the guidance of President Nolan's spiritual field, Li Shiyi survived the dangerous period without danger, this time without the blessing of the spiritual field, Professor Russell can only use sedatives to temporarily delay the outbreak of Li Shiyi's symptoms, but in the final analysis, this is not a foolproof method.

"Listen to me, twice the dose of an ordinary person, intravenously," Professor Russell forcefully disagreed, "and I'll take responsibility for what goes wrong." ”

"However, Director Sava hasn't come back yet, and we—" One of the female doctors hesitated.

"Don't be verbose, when is it time to return to your mother-in-law!" Russell snapped.

Seeing this, the group did not dare to continue to speak, and after taking a series of safety measures, Russell strode towards Li Shiyi's ward.

The tiny black flame on Li Shiyi's body was very infiltrating just by looking at it, let alone touching him, or Professor Russell volunteered to put on a heavy protective suit, which was the highest level of protective clothing in the biological laboratory, even if it was roasted on the fire, it would not cause much damage to it, and Russell felt a little more secure in his heart when he wore it.

Pushing the needle and squeezing out the air in it, Professor Russell aimed at Li Shiyi's shoulder, where a piece of charred skin was exposed, and Li Shiyi's body was still spasming because of the nightmare.

Just when Professor Russell was concentrating on preparing to inject Li Shiyi with a sedative, something happened about it.

The black knife in the corner suddenly buzzed violently, and the blade came out of its sheath, and it flew through the crowd and slashed horizontally at Professor Russell's arm, and the nameless fire swirled around the blade, and it came with murderous intent.

"Be careful!" Sophia was the first to spot the danger and pulled Professor Russell back.

The black sword flew past Russell's arm, cutting through the heavy protective suit with an indomitable momentum, hovering above Li Shiyi's body.

Professor Russell took off his hazmat suit with all his hands and feet, for a black fire had already burned at the incision, and the terrible flame was trying to burn everything it had touched.

Everyone witnessed the so-called protective suit with the highest level of protection being burned to ashes in just a dozen seconds, without even a trace of smell being released.

"Black Knife Protector?!" Professor Russell stared at the black knife in surprise, it was floating up and down, black flames surging, "Or is it trying to harm the master?"

Li Shiyi's demeanor became more distorted by the pain, and the ice cubes around his body were constantly pushed off the hospital bed by him, falling into shattered ice crystals.

"Professor Russell, how's it going?"

At this critical moment, Sava heard an anxious inquiry outside the door, and he ran in clogs, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, and he clutched an iron box tightly in his hand.

"'Purifying Serum' I've got it back!" Savoy opened the box with trembling hands, and a pale red potion was contained in a steel tube of reagent and swayed.

After hearing the words "purifying serum", everyone came over in unison.

The "Purification Serum" is a by-product of the Academy's "Bio-Purification" program, this serum has been found to be effective in suppressing the ability genes in the body of the Ability, and can be used to weaken or even eliminate the Ability of the Ability, it can be said that if this drug is flooded, it will undoubtedly lead to a catastrophe of the extinction of the Ability, so it is strictly controlled, and only the Headmaster has access to it.

"Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?" Sava didn't understand what Russell meant.

"I originally thought that this kid also had the ability 'Blazing', and I even suspected that this might be a variant of 'Blazing'," Russell said in a deep voice, "That's why I asked you to get the 'Purifying Serum', but it wasn't until just now that I finally realized the reason why Li Shiyi became like this!"

"What is the reason?" Sava looked at Russell with burning eyes, expecting him to give a satisfactory answer.

"All of Li Shiyi's pain comes from this knife," Russell pointed to the strange black knife, "It can even be said that all this is Li Shiyi's voluntary endurance." ”

"Russell, what do you mean by that?"

"Black fire comes from the undead, and it has been recorded that only spirits can carry this kind of fire. ”

"But that's just a legend, isn't it?"

"No, it's not a legend," Russell looked at Sava with a determined gaze, "if it's a legend, then how can we explain this nameless black fire in front of you? ”

"What do you mean—" Sava seemed to think of something, and his heart was shocked.

"That's right, Knife Soul, this black knife has its own Knife Soul. ”

As soon as Russell's words came out, everyone was stunned.
