In the second year of Emperor Huai of Dongji, November 7, late at night.

Yaoguang City, the Han family compound, is brightly lit.

In the courtyard, under the thousand-year-old red plum tree, this game of chess, Su Xian and Qiu Yu have been played all night, and the winner has still not been decided. Behind them, Qi Yi and Jian Ying respectively held umbrellas for the person in their eyes.

However, this does not stop the scattered snowflakes from falling slowly on the board with the wind. At the moment, Su Xian is gradually showing an advantage in holding a white child, and Qiu Yu is slightly weak in holding a black child.

Outside the compound, the deafening sound of war was accompanied by the splashing of rocks. Immediately afterward, a monstrous blue flame enveloped the entire Dawn City. Seeing this scene, Qi Yi's brows furrowed, but when he saw Qiu Yu at this time, he turned his head sideways and said lightly: "Don't worry, these have nothing to do with us." ”

Between the words, after thinking about it again, Su Xian dropped the white coin in his hand, and raised his eyes and said to Qiu Yu: "It's your turn, sir." ”

Tonight's autumn dawn is dressed in purple.

Whether it is the chess game that is at a disadvantage in front of you, or the noisy war outside the hospital. Her demeanor was full of calmness and composure. It seems that everything in the world has nothing to do with her, but she is invisibly affected by her.

A pair of red phoenix eyes and two curved willow eyebrows seem to be thin, but there is a world and vicissitudes in the eyes that are difficult for ordinary people to understand. At this time, a falling stone that was shattered from the far wall inadvertently entered the Han family's compound.

Qi Yi, who was standing behind Qiu Yu, immediately pulled out the knife at his waist, preparing to intercept the gravel when it hurt Qiu Yu, but Jian Ying, who was standing behind Su Xian, only frowned slightly. The gravel that was about to fly into the courtyard turned into a cloud of dust in an instant.

At the same moment, the sunspot fell.

Qiu Yu and Su Xian smiled slightly.

"It's getting more and more interesting. ”

"Sir, don't let me do it. ”

In front of him, Su Xian, who was dressed in white, picked up a white piece and hung it in the air but did not fall. In her eyes, there is the black and white staggered between the vertical and horizontal chessboards, as well as the bits and pieces that are happening outside the courtyard at this moment.

Qiu Yu said lightly: "No." ”

Su Xian smiled back and dropped the white son in his hand.

At this moment, the white pieces on the chessboard have an overwhelming advantage. Jian Ying, who was standing behind Su Xian, pondered, "Sir, can Kuroko turn over this game of chess now?"

But seeing Qi Yi sigh at this time: "I said Jian Ying, you also underestimate Qiu Yu! From the time we realized it to now, you don't seem to have won a game of chess with Qiu Yu, right?"

Jian Ying smiled: "I admit that I can't win the victory or defeat between the chessboards." But I wasn't the one who played chess with Mr. today. ”

Su Xian glanced at Jian Ying, who coughed and said no more. After Qi Yi saw this scene, she smiled and didn't say anything more, only to see Qiu Yu drop the sunspot in her hand at this time, and said to Jian Ying: "Don't worry, the show has just begun." ”

......

When black flames separated the two walls of Dawn City, it cut off the reinforcements from inside the city to support the defenders of the walls. Countless night crows from nowhere surrounded the drum tower occupied by Han Ming.

The overwhelming sound of crows is extremely disgusting.

Perhaps he disliked that these night crows were too noisy, so Gu Yu turned his head to look at the direction of the drum tower and waved his sleeves. Endless black flames immediately ignited the entire drum tower. After a while, Gu Yu said lightly to the four teenagers beside him: "Let's go." ”

"Where do you want to go? ”

As a result, at this moment, Han Ming, who was supposed to guard the drum tower, held a heavy sword in his hand to block Gu Yu's way. Hundreds of black-feathered night crows surrounded Gu Yu and the others, each of whom basically held a knife and sword made of silver and gold in their hands.

"Woman, do you know that I have been waiting here for a long time?" Han Ming sneered, and said to Gu Yu in front of him, "I guessed a long time ago that the Thousand Thunder Country can dig through the Juelong Mountain Range, and there must be a master to guide me. It wasn't until I learned that there was a weapon like the Lava Claw that made me even more convinced. ”

Between the words, these black-feathered night crows, who surrounded Gu Yu and his party, clenched the silver sword in their hands, stepped forward to make an offensive gesture, and shouted in unison to boost morale. Seeing this, the four teenagers beside Gu Yu immediately protected her behind their backs.

"I've never believed in any mystics in this world. In my opinion, those who claim to be occult magicians are either charlatans or cultists of the Black Heavens. But he heard Han Ming turn the heavy sword in his hand, raise his eyes and look at Gu Yudao, "See you tonight, it seems that your Excellency is not a charlatan." ”

After hearing this, Gu Yu sneered: "Since you already know, why don't you get out of the way quickly?"

Han Ming laughed: "What nonsense are you talking about? Now that you are surrounded by us, do you still look down on the situation?"

Gu Yu sighed: "Is it me or you who can't see the situation clearly?" Did you know that while you're chatting with me, the outer walls of Dawn City are about to fall. ”

"So what?" Han Ming didn't seem to care about Gu Yu's "kind reminder", and continued with her coldly, "The biggest threat in this city at this moment is right in front of my eyes. As long as you are solved, the rest of the problems will be solved. ”

Gu Yu shook his head helplessly: "This general, are you the chief general of the Mo Kingdom tonight?" Why so confident. ”

"Woman, just because you deserve to know the name of General Ben?" Han Ming said lightly, "Soon you will die under my sword, knowing so much will not help you in any way." ”

"I think you're overestimating our existence. Gu Yu looked at Han Ming in front of him helplessly, "Then he ignored that the real threat actually happened to come from outside the city." ”

Han Ming sneered, "So, do you mean to say that the Thousand Thunder Country Lord is using your Black Heaven Sect as bait to attract my attention? But don't worry, I've got a special surprise for Lei Che coming, and now it's time for you to accept your fate. ”

Hearing this, Gu Yu seemed to have lost patience. She patted the dust between her sleeves, and turned to the four teenagers beside her, "Kill them, and then go to the Han family's compound to meet me." ”

Between the words, Gu Yu was about to turn around and sink into the black flames behind her, but just as she was about to step into this cluster of flames, Han Ming threw out the heavy sword in her hand directly at Gu Yu, directly cutting off Gu Yu's way.

Looking at this heavy sword that suddenly fell, Gu Yu frowned. It was a heavy sword of five feet and seven inches, weighing sixty-four pounds, with ancient inscriptions engraved on it, inscriptions that only the Divine Servants could understand.

"Who are you?" Gu Yu, who was originally planning to leave, instantly turned around and took out a blood-colored dagger from his sleeve, pointing at Han Ming, who was provoking him in the distance, "Where did you get this sword?!"

Han Ming grinned: "This sword is an ancient sword inherited from my family, where did you say you got it?"

Between the words, the ancient inscription on the spine of the sword began to glow red, and then, the black flame in front of Gu Yu was engulfed by the red flame, and the four young men surrounding Gu Yu were shocked and hurriedly protected Gu Yu.

In this way, Gu Yu was trapped here.

"You are a descendant of the Chiyan Samurai?"

Gu Yu looked at the Mo general in front of him incredulously, but when he heard the general, he glanced at Gu Yu with disdain, and turned to the surrounding soldiers and said: "Kill on the spot, no one will be left!"

......

When the black flames ignited the entire drum tower, Qing Yan appeared in the Han family's compound at some point. He silently hid in the darkness, quietly observing the two women who were playing chess under the thousand-year-old plum tree at this moment.

He was very curious about why the fight was so fierce outside, and they were like they were nothing. While thinking about it, Qing Yan spread out his spiritual gossamer and tried to cover the entire compound. As a result, Su Xian, who was about to fall, suddenly raised his eyes and looked into the darkness where Qing Yan was hiding.

Jian Ying, who was standing behind her, drew his sword at the same time. In a flash, Jian Ying completed the sword out and the sword at a speed that the naked eye could not capture. The cold sword qi cut off the spiritual gossamer released by the Qing Yan in the darkness one by one.

Seeing this, Qing Yan was shocked in his heart: "The realm of the heart and martial arts?! There are actually warriors who have entered the realm of the heart and martial arts here, why are they here, why didn't they participate in the war without them?!"

Qi Yi looked at Su Xian and Jian Ying suspiciously, and followed their gaze to look at the darkness in the distance, but he didn't see anything, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

At this time, Su Xian dropped the chess pieces in his hand.

Qiu Yu picked up the sunspot and said lightly: "There are guests here." ”

Qi Yi asked everyone puzzled, "Who?"

Jian Ying's brows furrowed, and he took the lead in shouting to Qing Yan, who continued to pretend to be absent in the dark: "Since it has been discovered, come out." It's so big, you can't hide it anywhere, no matter how much you hide it. ”

After a moment of silence, Qing Yan slowly walked out of the darkness. Smile with everyone. In this regard, Qiu Yu and Su Xian did not pay attention to this, and instead turned their eyes back to the chessboard. As for Qi Yi and Jian Ying, who were standing behind them, they showed undisguised hostility at the same moment.

"Who is this son looking for?"

Qi Shi asked unceremoniously, and his hand subconsciously rested on the hilt of the knife at his waist. However, Qing Yan ignored Qi Yi who asked him questions, and instead asked the man in white, the sword that could cut off all his spiritual gossamers in an instant.

"I didn't expect that there was a master here who had stepped into the realm of heart martial arts, it was really unexpected. It seems that I am not wrong about this place. ”

Between the words, Su Xian fell into the white son in his hand.

In the wind, a chill opened a small cut on Qingyan's face at the moment she dropped the chess piece, and then slowly oozed a little blood. Seeing this, Qingyan frowned. After a moment of suffocation, the young man changed his words, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't even notice that there were two masters who had stepped into the heart martial arts here for a while. ”

At this time, Su Xian raised his eyes and stared at Qing Yan coldly: "There is chaos outside at the moment, this prince is visiting late at night, what is the noble matter." ”

"Actually, there is nothing else, Xiaosheng is just a little curious. Why is there a war in the city now, but it is lit up here. Qing Yan smiled and slowly approached here. Qi Yi looked angry, pulled out the long knife at his waist and slashed at the bluestone under his feet, stirring up a cluster of sparks: "Stop, who told you to move forward?"

Qing Yan smiled awkwardly and didn't speak.

"Do you think we will believe what you say?" Qi Yi said coldly. Embarrassed, Qiu Yu slowly spoke: "Qi Shan, don't scare other people's sons, be so rude!"

Qi Yi coughed: "Then I'll be gentle." ”

Jian Ying and Su Xian on the side listened to it and smiled at each other.

At this time, Qiu Yu asked Qingyan: "Listening to the son's accent, it doesn't look like a native of Mexico, nor does it look like a native of the country." ”

"Oh?" After hearing Qiu Yan speak, Qing Yan turned his gaze to the woman in purple who was facing his back, and asked curiously, "What country does that girl think Xiao Sheng is from?"

Qiu Yu hesitated for a moment, dropped the sunspot in his hand, and said lightly: "If I guess correctly, the son should be from the Xiji Tianwu Kingdom." ”

Qing Yan listened and froze in place.

"How did the girl guess so accurately?"

"Xiji Tianwu Country borders the Thousand Thunder Country, and I grew up in the Thousand Thunder Country since I was a child, so I have some understanding of the customs and customs of the two countries. ”

As he spoke, there was a loud roar from the catapult matrix in the north of the city. Except for Qiu Yu and Su Xian, who were still sitting upright, the rest of them all turned their eyes to the direction of the sound source at the same moment.

Right now, the situation on the chessboard is evenly matched by black and white. In the wind, a few stars of frost and snow fell on the eyebrows of Su Xian. saw Qiu Yu and her smiling slightly.

"It's time to fight it out. ”

......

Gu Yu didn't expect that after many years, she would see a heavy sword with the same model. The spine of the sword forged in black gold, the blade made of silver and gold, although it is a replica, is engraved with an ancient inscription with the same deterrence, perpetuating the curse of the gods against their "fallen feathers".

When many black-feathered night crows carried silver swords towards Gu Yu. The four teenagers who had followed Gu Yu for many years shouted loudly, slashed their palms with daggers, and chanted the mantra that Gu Yu had taught them at the same moment.

At that time, the black flames that had disappeared ignited the blood they spilled. All black-feathered night crows that tried to get close in the process were ignited by the droplets of blood stained with black flames. Immediately afterward, there was a mournful wail in the wind and snow.

More than thirty women dressed in black and carrying black feathers swooped down from the sky, grabbed a black feather night crow at great speed, flew into the sky again, and then threw it into the crowd of Mexican soldiers who were about to rush to support.

Fear then spreads in the night,

In the wailing, rivers of blood flowed and corpses were strewn all over the field.

During this period, countless black feather blades fell around Gu Yu and the four teenagers, and ignited along the black flames, protecting Gu Yu and the teenagers in the center.

In the process, many black-feathered night crows were either ignited by black flames or pierced by sharp feather blades. Seeing this, the rest of the people did not dare to take another step. Seeing this scene, Han Ming didn't seem to be angry or afraid, as if everything was as he expected.

In the darkness, the heavy sword that fell beside Gu Yu turned into starlight and dissipated with Han Ming's shout, and returned to his hand in an instant. At this time, Gu Yu and Han Ming, separated by everyone and the black flames, looked at each other coldly.

Gu Yu frowned and asked, "Who are you!"

Han Ming grinned: "The one who took your head!"

Between the words, the "Feather Fallers" flying in the sky tried to seal during this period and cast magic to help Gu Yu relieve the siege, but Han Ming had already expected this.

An unexpected scene happened just as Han Ming's voice fell. The Purple Feather Night Raven, which had already been arranged by Han Ming, took off its camouflage at this moment, and instead shot the feathered arrows made of silver and gold at the "Feather Fallers" who flapped their wings on the canopy!

"Oh no!

See this moment. Gu Yu realized that something was wrong.

Before Gu Yu could convey a message to those "Feather Fallers", Han Ming swung the heavy sword in his hand with all his might! The four teenagers instantly pulled up the black fire curtain, but when this heavy sword penetrated the black fire curtain, the inscription engraved on the spine of the sword began to glow.

Then, the black flames turned into red flames and burned them, Gu Yu was frightened and hurriedly used the spirit gossamer to make armor for the teenagers, but he couldn't dodge Han Ming's blow, and then suffered a heavy blow to his shoulder.

"Teacher!"

The teenagers were concerned in unison.

At that moment, Gu Yu felt that a force was running down the wound and eroding her. If it weren't for the teenagers who woke her up in time, the pain was so severe that she almost passed out on the spot.

Immediately afterward, the heavy sword once again turned into starlight in the wind and snow, and gathered in the palm of Han Ming's hand in an instant. Seeing this, more than a dozen soldiers of the Night Raven Army with blood feathers on their heads, wearing heavy armor, fought out of the ruins in the wind and snow, and the four teenagers saw this and quickly protected Gu Yu to the death, and drove the spiritual gossamer, and in an instant, they built a huge and visible shield, blocking this fatal blow alive.

Han Ming let out a loud shout and waved the heavy sword in his hand.

The chilling blade of air cleaved the frost and snow, and irregular cracks appeared in the earth at the same moment. Everyone swayed from side to side in the process, and more and more soldiers of the Mexican Kingdom converged here, and released countless silver feather arrows into the sky.

Those Black Sky Cultists who had originally given Gu Yu long-range support were either dropped heavily from a high altitude by these silver feather arrows piercing their wings, and then hacked to death by the Black Feather Night Raven on the ground, or they saw that the situation was not good, and they evacuated for the time being.

However, how could Han Ming just let them go?

......

In the Han family's compound, Qing Yan closed his eyes and felt the position of the stone throwing matrix, Gu Yu might be in danger. So he turned to Jian Yingqi and the others and said: "It's too presumptuous to come to visit tonight, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely come to the door to make amends!" ”

Qi Yi and Jian Ying looked at each other suspiciously, and then frowned, "What's the situation?"

Jian Ying shook his head: "I don't understand." ”

Su Xian and Qiu Yu on the side sneered.

In the darkness, the green flames slowly receded.

After a moment of silence, Qiu Yu raised his eyes to look at the sky, and then asked Qi Yi behind him: "You say, how long is it until dawn?"

Qi Shi hesitated for a moment: "Two hours." ”

Qiu Yu asked again: "Do you think that the army of Mexico will be able to hold out until dawn? If the current situation continues." ”

Qi Yi smiled: "This doesn't have to be fought at all!"

Sitting down, Su Xian smiled slightly.

"I don't think so. ”

Qiu Yu turned to Jian Ying behind Su Xian and asked, "Jian Ying, what do you think about this?"

Jian Ying pondered for a moment, but instead of answering Qiu Yu's question, he turned to look at the chess game on the chessboard, and said lightly: "I care more about who will win in this game of chess than this." ”

Hearing Jian Ying say this, Qiu Yu was stunned, and forgot for a moment who should go first in this game of chess: "Now, who should go?"

Su Xian gathered the distant thoughts between the words, and said slowly: "If you don't say it, I will forget!
