Chapter 66: Nightfall

Previous Chapter

The night is like water, the bright moonlight caresses the earth, the breeze blows the leaves and rattles, the blades of grass are bright green in the moonlight, everything is calm, like a beautiful night painting.

"Dah. ”

With the sound of horses' hooves and the clanging of cold armor, everyone was silent, as if they were the soldiers of hell in the darkness of the night.

Suddenly, the man leading the army on horseback in front stretched out his hand to signal, only to hear the sound of uniform footsteps behind him, all the soldiers stopped, their faces were indifferent, if it were not for the subtle and unpleasant sound of breathing, I am afraid that this would really be a group of Yin soldiers.

The leader of the army raised his head and saw his face clearly by the moonlight, handsome and dashing, a pair of starry eyes looked straight ahead, and a huge city towered in front of him, and its huge shadow was lying here like an ancient beast.

The man stared, his eyes as deep as a secluded pool, and then he withdrew his gaze and glanced to the left and right, and then looked at the giant city without moving.

But suddenly there was a little light in the place he had just seen, as if the metal reflected the moonlight, and not only that, but there was also a slight light in the distance, which happened to circle the giant city, but all the light only shone for a moment and then returned to darkness, except for a trace of essence that suddenly arose when the moonlight moved somewhere, but it only dissipated for a moment.

Mount Tai, the first mountain in the world, its top goes straight into the sky and it is difficult to see its end, originally the dense mountains and forests here are like putting on a green coat, but at this time only a piece of scorched black remains, and the dark rocks seem to tell the previous suffering.

The ground at the foot of Mount Tai is charred and cracked, the black and withered trees are twisted like evil spirits with teeth and claws, the dilapidated houses, and the charred dry bones are scattered everywhere, and here is like purgatory on earth, and there is no life.

But tonight a murderous aura came from the east, like a tangible body swept through this purgatory, not far away suddenly stationed a legion, one after another military camps sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and soon this barren land lit up with sparks, and the soldiers were silently busy, no one just kept doing the work at hand, reflecting the strict discipline of this army.

And suddenly, the momentum of the killing aura that originally swept across the Quartet was blocked, and a comparable killing aura from the west also swept in, and the two breaths collided together, and in an instant, like a boiling oil pot dripping, the air in the place where they met exploded, and a violent wind appeared out of nothing, raging the already dilapidated land.

In just an instant, in the camp on both sides, the two people who were sitting in the main tent raised their heads, one side was dressed in bright silver and white armor, domineering and unparalleled, and the other side was fine iron and black armor, calm and restrained, and their eyes seemed to penetrate the camp tent, running through this human purgatory and slamming together somewhere.

"Hmph"

"Huh"

They both let out a sneer, and then went on with what they were doing as if nothing happened, but a glint gleamed in the depths of their eyes.

The noise of the busy camp died down, and the number of people gradually decreased, until at last only a group of patrolling soldiers began to stand guard around the camp, and the ruined land was quiet again, except for the crackling of campfires in the wind and the relentless and cold clash of armor.

As the night deepened, a dark cloud slowly covered the moonlight, and the night engulfed the entire world in an instant, and for the entire continent, it was just one night in hundreds of thousands of years, like an endless cycle, never stopping, never stopping.

And just when the last ray of moonlight was also covered, in the originally silent darkness, countless sonorous sounds sounded, and the darkness that was as calm as a quiet lake suddenly rolled up, like waves of the sea, wave after wave.

"Ahhh A soldier yawned in a scoundrel.

"Haha, Lao Sun is sleepy?" saw this and said with a smile to another soldier beside him.

Lao Sun twisted his neck, made a crackling sound, rubbed his eyes, looked at the endless darkness blankly, and said lazily, "It's really boring, I really want to go home and lie down in the warm village." ”

"Hey, who isn't, the world has been turbulent recently, usually with the strength of our Tang Kingdom, no one has just attacked the city gate. The other shrugged helplessly and said.

At this time, Lao Sun's eyes suddenly rolled around, and he said with a smile, "Boy, or I'll go back first today." ”

"Hey, no, you've done this a few times. The man frowned and shook his head.

"Hehe, help me again, next time please go to Qingyan Building. ”

"You've said this a few times, but not once. ”

"I really don't lie to you this time, I got money from my mother-in-law, and I definitely invite you to go. Lao Sun's smile was even bigger, and his eyebrows were even more raised, looking extremely obscene.

The man sighed helplessly, waved his hand, Lao Sun smiled and patted his shoulder, and then walked briskly, the soldier pouted, and then looked at the boundless darkness, it seemed that this darkness never changed, just as usual dull, but suddenly stirred somewhere, like a fish in the water.

Lao Sun whistled, swept away his previous laziness, and walked down the stairs briskly, and just as he stepped out of the staircase, a black shadow fell from the sky and fell straight to the ground in front of him, splashing a puff of dust.

Lao Sun waved his hand in disgust, dispelled the dust rushing to his face, muttered and complained in his mouth, and then looked at the black shadow on the ground suspiciously, but the darkness was like ink, no matter how hard he tried to open the mouse's eyes, he couldn't see what it was, he had to take a few steps forward, squatted down, and pulled the black shadow, and only for a moment a smell rushed to his nose, Lao Sun's pupils dilated, this smell he was very familiar with, he immediately stood up and pulled up the ball and dragged it to the bright place, and just when the fire just illuminated the black shadow, Lao Sun's face was extremely white, but just when he didn't make any reaction, he suddenly felt that his whole body seemed to be venting from somewhere。

"Ho, ho, click!"

Lao Sun covered his throat with both hands, but no matter how hard he tried, the red blood gushed out from the gap between his fingers like a spring, Lao Sun's body twitched a few times and then fell to the ground as if all his strength was drained, his pupils gradually dilated, and the last picture he saw was an iron arrow not far from him straight through a person's head, and the man's expression was frozen in helplessness, as if he was still complaining about Lao Sun's words.

"Whew. ”

The firelight disappeared, and the tide of darkness was unobstructed, instantly submerging the surroundings, and also submerging the two gradually cold bodies, which were also part of the darkness.
