224, the first blood
Passing by the crowd, Wu Zhong saw a person kneeling against the wall inside. Although the style of the clothes worn by this man is simple, it is quite atmospheric, and there are gold thread embroidery on the edges of the clothes. Wu Zhong recognized that this person must be a disciple from the Langya Wang clan, and he was also a direct disciple. Seeing this situation, Wu Zhong finally put his mind at ease, as long as it wasn't Xuanbai, the others didn't have to worry about it.
The two soldiers standing on either side of him with guns in both hands saluted Li Hong, and one of them walked over and whispered to him a few times before returning to his original position.
At this moment, Wu Zhong's mana was blocked, and he couldn't hear what the two of them said at all, and Li Hong always looked unfazed, and it was even more difficult to guess the content of the conversation between the two. Subsequently, Wu Zhong and the Zhishu brothers and sisters followed Li Hong to the city tower, where they finally met another big man - the patriarch of the Li family, Li Yao.
Li Yao, the current patriarch of the Li family, is the city lord of this Yuguan City. Early that day, he received news from his subordinates that an outsider had been arrested. Hearing the news, Li Yao immediately became interested, and quickly posted a notice, threatening to deal with the intruder of the outsider. Although the Li family is the most powerful family in this Yuguan City, its prestige is declining day by day, and now this patriarch is even more good at eating, drinking and having fun, and he doesn't care about everything in the city, leaving it all to others. Fortunately, the three masters in charge of power worked diligently, which barely maintained the glory of the Li family. Now that this outsider suddenly broke in and fell into his hands, in order to increase his prestige and fame, this is what he has today. When Li Hong stepped forward to salute when he saw Li Yao, Li Yao asked him to sit next to him with an enthusiastic face.
"I didn't expect this little thing to alarm General Li Hong, and it really disturbed General Qingxiu. Li Yao said with a smile. Although he said he was sorry, his face was very proud.
"The city lord just ordered someone to come and spread the word, so naturally I want to come over and take a look at the situation. Li Hong said, "I didn't expect that the people below were so fast, and they had traces of outsiders so quickly and were arrested, and the city lord was well led." ”
Hearing Li Hong's compliment, Li Yao's smug face was even more overflowing, and he couldn't wait to lift the corners of his mouth to the sky. Wu Zhong glanced at Li Hong, and he didn't expect that this seemingly majestic person would be like others.
"Look, look, it's time!" As soon as the words fell, a team of people suddenly appeared below, pressing the outsider into the execution ground.
It's also pitiful, this outsider, as Wu Zhong guessed, is a direct disciple of the Wang family, and his cultivation is not low, he just broke through to the middle stage of the god transformation some time ago, and he plans to show it well in this martial arts competition. Who knew that he came to such a ghost place, there was no competition, and the surroundings were completely unfamiliar. He still remembered that when he entered the "Picture Scroll of a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", Jing'an Si Cheng told him that the people here were all virtual. Thinking of this, even if he was now in prison, he didn't have any fear at all, but looked around with a look of disdain. In his opinion, now it is like a game, this death is nothing more than resurrection, and then continue the task in hand, even if it is not, at most it is just to return to Jing'an Division and eliminate.
This team of men and horses pressed him into the execution ground, and suddenly, the formation in the execution ground fell instantly, and the powerful coercion immediately pressed him to the ground, unable to move. I saw a pitch-black ball floating above the execution ground, and under the shroud of divine consciousness, I only felt eerie and terrifying, countless yin spirits were struggling in pain, and the sound of roaring was even more terrifying. Seeing this, this Wang disciple finally began to realize that something was wrong, and a trace of fear finally appeared on his face.
There was silence on the execution ground, but the onlookers were excited, and their eyes showed a bloodlust that had been silent for a long time. Seeing this, the fear in the heart of the Wang family, who was pressed down, continued to magnify, and finally broke out at the last moment.
I saw that he suddenly broke free from the suppression of the formation, and he actually wanted to get up and run away. But due to the limited mana, and the fact that he had no divine sense cultivation on weekdays, the moment he just got up, the power of the formation fell again, instantly overwhelming him again, and he couldn't move a bit.
Wu Zhong stood on top of the tower, everything below could be seen clearly, and the moment he fell, a scream resounded throughout the audience, causing a burst of ridicule.
When Wu Zhong saw this, he felt uncomfortable. Although the other party didn't know him, he came here at the same time after all, and he couldn't help but feel some empathy and desolation.
The man shouted on the execution ground, but the people below laughed, and the Li Yao on the top of the city tower was even more gasping for fat body and laughing, as if there was nothing happier in the world.
Suddenly, Li Yao shook his fat body and stood up, only to see him cough lightly twice, and the people below immediately turned their eyes to the fat city lord. Seeing this, Li Yao finally smiled and said: "The outsiders are attacking again, I, Li Yao, as the city lord, have the responsibility to eliminate them and have the obligation to protect our residents! Now, under the wise leadership of this city lord, our powerful soldiers have finally caught one! It is him!" With that, his fleshy fingers stretched out and pointed to the execution ground. The others followed his fingers and looked at the execution ground again. At this time, the Wang disciple had no strength, cold sweat flowed from his forehead, his eyes were cramped and uneasy, and he felt more and more that everything here was not fake, and the long knife in front of him that was about to cut his neck was not fake.
It is rare to have such an opportunity to command in front of everyone, Li Yao said: "Don't say much!
As soon as the words fell, the knife and axe hand slowly walked to the past disciple who was prostrate on the ground, and the long knife in his hand slashed across the ground, making a stabbing sound, stimulating the wildness of the surrounding audience. However, this piercing voice reached the ears of the soon-to-be-executed man, and it was tantamount to the footsteps of death.
The knife and axe hand stood in front of him, his hand rising and falling, his head rolling to the side, and bright red blood sprayed out from the broken place of his neck, half a meter away. At this time, Wu Zhong noticed that an ethereal soul gradually separated from his body, and was finally swallowed by the big black ball, and the yin qi of this black sphere was a little stronger, and finally disappeared the moment a mysterious person appeared.
The process was quick, and although it didn't make the onlookers overwhelmed, the bloody scene stimulated people's nerves to cry out wildly, as if they had won a great battle. On the city tower, Li Yao looked proud, Li Hong was expressionless, but the two brothers and sisters were too frightened to look, Wu Zhong stood there, indifferent, not knowing what he was thinking.
After the matter was over, Li Yao and Li Hong got up and left after saying a few words, and the crowd around the execution ground also left in twos and threes, only the pool of blood, and the corpse of a separated body was still lying there.
Li Hong glanced at Wu Zhong and left with the three of them without saying much. At the last moment, Wu Zhong saw several wild dogs appear, tear the corpse to pieces, and each of them left with fresh flesh and blood in their mouths.
Back in the courtyard, Wu Zhong didn't say a word, the brother and sister were taken to rest by the little maid in the front yard, Wu Zhong returned to the backyard and continued to clean the basin silently, but his thoughts didn't know where to go.
Li Hong stood at the door of the backyard, and when he saw Wu Zhongso, he didn't laugh too much, but said, "Now you know how lucky you are, right?"
Wu Zhong did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "Why did you save me?"
Li Hong was silent for a while, and then said, "I want you to do one thing, and I will naturally let you go after the thing is completed." ”
Wu Zhong said, "What's the matter?"
"You'll find out later. For now, let's take care of ourselves first, and then talk about raising the cultivation level. With that, Li Hong turned around and left, leaving only Wu Zhong and Lao Ma in the backyard.
At this moment, Wu Zhong had no energy to clean anymore, he went back to the house and lay down, his brain was blank.
It's not that he hasn't seen a dead person, not to mention that he has killed it with his own hands, but this is the first time he has encountered such a situation. When he was on the top of the castle tower, he once imagined that if he lay on the execution ground and ended up the same as that Wang disciple, what would he do? Of course, there was no other way but to die. This is not a game world, and he is not a savior, and he does not have a thorough cultivation, so what can he do except be killed?
At this moment, Wu Zhong was still carrying the note he got before entering this world: to obtain royal treasures. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that all this was a joke, that the disciple of the Wang clan lost his life for the task of the martial arts competition, even if he achieved something in the end, is it worth it? But the current situation is not to consider these here, but to think about how to leave safely. Now that he is under the eaves of Li Hong, his mana is even more sealed, and it is still difficult to escape. But from his words, it is clear that something will change in the near future.
Wu Zhong was thinking about the way back in the backyard, the two siblings in the front yard had already fallen asleep, and Li Hong got up and left Jiling Street.
As soon as the news of the invasion by outsiders was released, everyone's managers put it on the matter. Even some young people are shouting everywhere, asking outsiders to look good, and going out of the city in groups of three or five, hoping to catch one or two outsiders like those soldiers, which can be regarded as a chance to make a name for themselves.
Seeing this situation, Li Hong did not stop his plan, although other residents participated, but the cultivation was uneven, and there was no unified mobilization and planning, he did not think that every outsider who invaded would be so poorly cultivated. Not to mention others, just Wu Zhong in his backyard, a monk in the general god realm will not be able to make a few moves against him, even if his own people are mainly cultivating divine consciousness.
Speaking of Wu Zhong, in Li Hong's opinion, his cultivation method is a little different, although this world has received the attention of the immortals in the upper realm, and he is more inclined to Yuan Shen cultivation, but Wu Zhong's mana fluctuations are still not weak, and his divine consciousness cultivation is not weaker than some monks in the late stage of the God Transformation realm. In his understanding, this should not be the case of outsiders. Of course, one or two outliers are not ruled out, but even so, it still makes him interested enough.
