Chapter Ninety-Six: Draw the Sword
Xishan, a barren mountain hundreds of miles outside Pushi Town, once opened a mine, but the last one was abandoned due to insufficient production.
No one visits this place on a normal day, so it's a great place for some people to choose a warehouse.
But today is no ordinary day.
The night was dark, and under the night sky, there had been no new fire in Pumice Town for a long time, as if the madman who had chosen to set the fire tonight had finally arrived tired, or that he had finally been arrested and sent to a prison cell after committing so many crimes.
It seems that these are all reassuring conjectures, but none of them is something that Zhang Hao will believe.
If the police presence in Pumstone Town is enough to arrest that guy, then I'm sorry for the national wanted warrant he still has on his phone.
Similarly, if after Zhang Hao and the others did that kind of damage to the orphanage and Aunt Wang, that guy would still get tired and stop because of it before completing his entire ultimate goal, then he would not be the Mo Xie that Zhang Hao knew.
Zhang Hao has done a lot of homework on Mo Ye, and he doesn't know how many copies of information have been sent to him these days, one of which shows that Mo Ye is an orphan with an ordinary growth trajectory, while the other part of the information describes a murderous beast that kills people without blinking an eye and is powerful.
It's a strong contrast, but Zhang Hao made a summary of it.
The ordinary growth trajectory is just a disguise for Mo Ye, and the fierce beast is the real him. No one can obtain such extraordinary combat power in a short period of time, this is the result of Mo Ye's years of accumulation, and there must be a big secret behind the years of forbearance.
Zhang Hao is very interested in the secret behind Mo Xie, but first, he needs to survive this revenge initiated by Mo Ye.
"Boom!"
An explosion suddenly sounded at the foot of the mountain, but this time there was no fire, and if you looked closely, you could tell that the explosion was mixed with the sound of a drum.
It's like someone throwing a boulder at a calm lake, and a thousand waves are born.
"Da Da Da!"
The defenses that had already been laid out in various places in the mountains reacted instantly, and dozens of tongues of fire began to spray, although even they themselves may not know where the target is, although this may be a conceptual deterrence without a target on the distance, but it is better to have a reaction than not to react, at least, this makes Zhang Hao's face look a lot better.
However, after only a second, Zhang Hao's face turned gloomy.
Because all the gunfire had suddenly stopped, as if an invisible hand had cut it off, if Zhang Hao hadn't been here, and he could have been sure that he hadn't issued an order similar to a 'cease-fire', he would have had the illusion that "everything was under command and proceeding in an orderly manner."
The sentry posts at the foot of the mountain were all taken down in just a few seconds?!
Zhang Hao never thought that Mo Xie alone could do such a thing (Zhang Ju, who was closed to information, obviously had not yet learned the true battle report of the Battle of the Western Capital), and he felt that there were definitely more than one or two attackers.
"Enemy attack! Retreat to the top of the hill!"
In the dark night, he couldn't see the number of enemies, and he couldn't even distinguish between the enemy and me, so Zhang Hao immediately took out the liaison device from his pocket and gave instructions to the personnel up and down the mountain.
"Look at that table (anti-harmony) and bring people to me!"
A series of instructions, the first sentence is addressed to ordinary police officers, and the audience of the latter sentence is Zhang Hao's personal guard.
However, before they could even say 'yes' or 'order', a loud and angry voice came up from the bottom of the mountain.
"Hand over Zhang Hao! or I'll burn this mountain!"
The sound was so loud that Zhang Hao's ears were still buzzing a few seconds after the echo passed.
"Burn it! Burn it! Labor and management have already laid out fire ditches! The fire can't burn the top of the mountain at all!"
Zhang Hao snorted, and he scolded in his heart.
In response to his silent disdain were dozens of points of light that suddenly appeared from the bottom of the mountain.
Fireball!
The fireball smashed into the forest, and in an instant, the trees were on fire.
In front of the mountain and behind the forest, dozens of ignition points are evenly distributed.
It was the middle of winter, and the vegetation contained no more moisture than in other seasons, and the fire spread so quickly that the ignition points were connected within a few breaths, and from the top of the mountain, it looked like a ribbon of flames tied to the mountain.
As time went on, the belt was getting thicker and tighter, and the smoke drifted up to the top of the mountain, and Zhang Hao, who had been prepared, turned around and took the gas mask handed by a police officer and put it on.
"Where did the madman come from?!How dare you interfere with the old man's cultivation!"
I don't know if it was the initial explosion or the later roar, or the act of arson at this moment forced Ma Ye, who had only entered the quiet room for a long time, made a sound, which was not inferior to the roar of the voice that came from the bottom of the mountain, and Zhang Hao and the others, who were closer, felt the sky spinning in front of this roar, as if the earth was trembling.
"Smack!"
The roof of the ashram was lifted off, and a figure rushed out of the room.
"Jinshan **** is here! Evil Demon Outer Dao! Come and get killed!"
Ma Ye raised his sword light, and rushed down the mountain with a slight whistle in mid-air.
He was furious.
The fires that spread all over the mountains were just ordinary fires, and they were no threat to him at all.
The sentries who were all eliminated in one breath were just some inappropriate things in his eyes, the other party could finish them off, and **** Liang could do it effortlessly by asking himself.
The other party's roar is so huge only because of some physical factors, unlike **** Liang, only after blessing spiritual power can his voice be loud, so loud that the earth can tremble.
But he was furious.
Because this is the first time that someone dares to set fire to the mountain where he sits, even if the other party does not know that he is here, but this does not prevent him from thinking that the other party knows.
Because this was the first time, he was forcibly woken up by someone after his front foot was settled.
Because this was the first time, he found that the sound he made with his spiritual power was not as thick and long-lasting as a roar that relied entirely on flesh and voxel.
The monk was furious, and his sword was thousands of miles away.
"Cultivator?"
The mountain fire lit up the night, and at the foot of the mountain, in front of the mountain fire, Mo Xie was holding a machine gun, and the black shadow that shot all the way from the top of the mountain was clearly seen by him.
Edgeworth's people may not all be cultivators, but this does not prevent Mo Xie from treating the other party as a cultivator.
"Huolin—!"
Throwing the machine gun on the ground casually, Mo Xie flipped his right hand, and a broken sword appeared in his hand.
