Chapter 85: Dark Tide
The night was dark.
In the second half of the night, in Frost Leaf City, except for the public places such as the square in the central city, there are still starlights, and the other areas are already dark.
The group walked in the boundless darkness, as if they were the inhabitants of the darkness, without the slightest fear of unknown darkness.
As they walked, the group came to the edge of the central city, which was brightly lit to the detriment of those of them who were sneaking in the dark. They stopped at the edge of the darkness and light, and looked inside with faint eyes.
"The King of the Southern Realm is still on his way back to Frostleaf City, and is expected to arrive tomorrow. "In the depths of the darkness, a figure of nothingness emerged, a figure composed of a faint layer of black mist, or rather, a [resentful spirit]. It's just that this resentful spirit looks no different from ordinary people, with no crazy grudges, no irrepressible urge to kill, and no necromantic aura that is unique to undead creatures.
Except that the figure is a little illusory, it is almost a living person.
"We need the information about the [little girl] outside Frostleaf City who wiped out the tide of the undead, the more detailed the better. The resentful spirit said with a solemn face.
“...... That is the [secret weapon] of the Star Bamboo Empire, the Wan family, and the only clue we have at the moment is that she has a marriage contract with the Holy Son of the Second Sage. The human at the head spoke, his voice without a hint of emotion.
"That Wan Qianyu is now on the [Sword Mountain], the Sword Mountain is currently closed, and with the Starry Sky Sword God in charge, it is impossible for us to directly attack the Sword Mountain. ”
"So I need you to cause turmoil in this Frostleaf City, we have a clear source, the Holy Son of the Second Sage is in Frostleaf City at this time, and with his character, he will definitely come out to help. ”
"And then?" the human man asked suddenly. "I don't think that capturing the Son of the Second Sage can lead to thousands of feathers. ”
"No, we don't need to catch him. The blue flames in the ghostly pupils of the resentful spirit pulsed slightly.
"Hurry up and do it before the King of the Southlands returns. ”
"Yes. ”

Su Xiaoxiao happily pulled Su Qiran to the side of the stall in the night market, looking at all kinds of colorful and attractive snacks.
Seeing the little girl's excited and carried away appearance, Su Qiran couldn't help but have a doting smile on her face.
"Whatever you want to eat, you're welcome. ”
"Yes, the teacher is so good!" Su Xiaoxiao nodded hurriedly, and then leaned over to the side of a barbecue seller, looking at the sizzling meat skewers on the charcoal fire, his big eyes were full of longing.
"Be careful to gain weight by eating this at night. Su Qiran said with a smile.
Su Xiaoxiao's body stiffened, struggling to withdraw the longing adult's gaze, and lowered her head with a bitter face.
Don't get fat! When I get fat, the teacher doesn't like me...... But I really want to eat it......
Su Qiran was slightly stunned for a while, he was just joking, but he didn't expect the little guy to take it seriously.
"Little fool, do you really believe it, and you have such a high intensity of physical training every day, how can you gain weight?" Su Qiran touched Su's little head helplessly.
"That'...... Then I want to eat this...... Teacher, can you ......?" Su Xiaoxiao said a little embarrassed.
"Of course, boss, let's have thirty skewers of barbecue. Su Qiran said with a smile.
"Are you still taking your children out to eat so late?" the owner of the barbecue stall seemed to be very talkative, and he asked in a casual tone as he skillfully sprinkled the condiments.
"Uh...... Child?" Su Qiran was stunned. Immediately, his face was a little strange.
Am I that old? I will be treated as a father when I stand with Xiaoxiao?
I look like I'm only six or seven years older than Xiaoxiao......
"It's not a father-daughter relationship? ahahaha, is it a brother and sister?" the stall owner smiled heartily.
“...... This is my teacher. Su Xiaoxiao interjected.
"Teacher?" the stall owner was also stunned, but he quickly hid his surprise.
Going out for supper with the teacher so late?
"Boss, twenty skewers of barbecue!" The slightly panting girl slapped a gold coin on the barbecue stand, and with a loud bang, it seemed to knock the whole stall over.
This is a girl with short black hair, a delicate face, a flame seems to be beating in her fiery red pupils, she is dressed in a simple power suit, but it seems to have a different kind of charm.
"My aunt, tapp. The stall owner looked at his stall with a bitter face and distress. This barbecue grill made of iron can't stand this girl's slap......
Su Qiran suddenly pulled Su Xiaoxiao behind him without a trace, and asked the barbecue boss in an unchanged tone.
"Boss, is our barbecue ready?"
"...... Return"
"......Boom!" the sudden roar was accompanied by a slight tremor, and the fierce light of the fire illuminated half of the eastern sky.
The surrounding crowd was chaotic all of a sudden, and Su Qiran hurriedly grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand, so as not to be crowded by the crowd.
A black figure suddenly jumped out of the alley on the side, and the black sword light burst out in the middle of the crowd! Blood splattered everywhere, and the screams of the people mixed with the screams of terror.
Su Qiran frowned slightly, a slight white light appeared, and a fiery feeling came from his side......
The girl with short black hair was bathed in the beating firelight, the blazing light and heat blocking out the panicked crowd.
"Thief!" the girl snapped, she didn't know when a spear appeared in her hand, and she flew to catch up with the black figure, the spear shot like a dragon, and swallowed the black figure with a blazing fire.
The fiery red light jumped, however, after a while, the black sword light slashed out from the flames, and the sharp sword light broke through the swirling flames, and the black figure escaped in embarrassment.
The girl did not procrastinate, she deceived forward, the spear in her hand opened and closed, the fiery red light swept wildly, the black figure could only barely parry, every knife was only enough to protect itself.
But just when the black figure was about to be defeated, he turned back sharply, leaving his back to the extremely terrifying spear, and then slashed out into the distance, and the sharp knife rushed towards the passers-by who had no time to escape.
The girl gritted her teeth slightly, giving up the good opportunity to kill the other party directly in front of her, and her entire body exploded with an astonishing speed in the fiery red luster, finally dispersing it before the black sword qi swept wildly.
However, when she quickly turned back to pursue the man again, the girl wrapped in a fiery red luster was stunned.
She originally thought that the sinister and cunning man must have escaped, but when she turned around, she found that the black figure was being hammered to the ground by a young man with his head.
That young man seems to be the one on the side of the barbecue stall just now?
"Where do you say you can't run well, run to me?" Su Qiran said angrily, but the action of smashing someone's head on the ground with his hand did not stop.
He was a little hesitant to do it, he felt that the ability to splice the short-haired girl, even if this person cheated, might not be able to run.
As a result, this guy is going to die and hit himself in the face......
You don't have any eyesight, you deserve it.
