Chapter 39: Shot
'There is an end to life and death, there is an end to life, that's all... Let it be...... 'Feeling the cold temperature above the tip of the knife breaking into the side ribs, Murong Yun closed his eyes and sighed heavily.
γPengγ
Just when he was desperate, there was a sudden muffled sound in his ears, Murong Yun only felt a strong wind blowing by his side, and then his waist and legs were hot, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the dagger that had been pierced into his side flew out at some point, leaving only a half-inch-deep wound gurgling blood.
"It's too early to give up on yourself, keep your life alive, and you have to avenge the soldiers."
The pressure on his arm disappeared, Murong Yun raised his head, only to feel a black robe blowing on his face, and then, the young man's clear voice sounded with a faint smile.
"Your Excellency is ......"
"You're still here...... "Hongluan's eyes welled up with joy.
"Hmm." Mu Ying nodded.
"Who are you? Dare to shield the court repeat offenders! The two who were suddenly repelled by Mu Ying stabilized their figures, and one of them looked at Mu Ying and asked.
"Who am I?" Mu Ying pressed her index finger against her chin and muttered for a long time before smiling brightly at the two of them: "Prison robber!" β
"Fanatic!" The man laughed angrily and shouted at the captor, Hongluan, "Kill her!" β
However, the Phoenix Court guard turned a deaf ear, still maintaining a posture of holding a knife in one hand, pressing the blade tightly against Hongluan's neck, and a touch of blue flashed in his eyes.
Mu Ying smiled mockingly.
"Huang Jiu! What happened to you! Do it! The man shouted again.
Hearing this, the Phoenix Court guard of the kidnapper Hongluan moved mechanically, the blue light floating in his black eyes, he slowly raised his hand, pointed the short sword in his hand at his throat, and then slowly, slowly, inserted it.
"Poof... Goo...'
The sound of the blade breaking through the throat, and the sound of blood foaming at the corner of the mouth, were particularly piercing under the silent night sky.
"Why... Giggle...... "The sharp sword has pierced into the cervical vertebrae, and Huang Jiu turned the short sword in his hand twice as if he didn't know the pain, and the sound of bones cracking suddenly came from his throat.
It wasn't until Huang Jiu's body fell straight down that the other two Phoenix Court guards took a small step back as if they had just reacted.
"Hex... It must be a demon ......" The man holding the big knife turned pale, looking at Mu Ying like a ghost, "You are a demon master... You actually dare to confront the imperial court, the four major forces will not let go of the Demon Master's Mansion! β
"What's happening here, it's not going to get out." Mu Ying smiled and shook her head.
"Phoenix Seven! Come on! The man with the knife let out a low shout, and the soles of his feet stomped hard, and his figure flew back.
"Where to go!" Mu Ying's footsteps were wrong, and her figure turned into a vague shadow and chased straight away.
"Wait!" The medicinal effect in Hongluan's body has been dissipated, and when he saw Mu Ying snatching out, he also turned his ankle, and used a strange body technique to quickly keep up.
Under the moonlit night, a beautiful shadow suddenly appeared in front of the two Phoenix Court guards who were fleeing, and the huge fox tail brought a strong wind and pumped heavily towards the two.
The two of them couldn't dodge, only to see a snow-white spot in front of them, and then their bodies were like being hit hard, and they shot straight back from mid-air.
Mu Ying, who was following closely behind, looked at the two people who shot back, a contemptuous smile crossed the corner of her mouth, and golden rays surged from her fingertips......
γPoofγ
Pulling the bloody palm out of the back of one of the Phoenix Court guards, Mu Ying looked at Hongluan with surprise in her eyes.
At this moment, she hugged another Phoenix Court guard tightly, and the snow-white tulle on her body was attached to the body of the Phoenix Court guard like a living thing, and immediately, the Phoenix Court guard began to scream, and the thin veil attached to his body instantly became blood red, and then that kind of red climbed up the entire thin veil of Hongluan as if spreading.
The body of the Phoenix Court Guardian began to wither rapidly, until Hongluan's gauze skirt became red and almost dripping blood, and that withering reached a limit, and with a soft 'bang', the last corpse of the Phoenix Court Guard shattered into pieces of flying ash one after another.
Getting up and shaking off the ash stains on the gauze skirt, Hongluan looked at Mu Ying sincerely and said, "Thank you, I will fulfill my promise." β
"What I promised or not, I didn't promise at all." Mu Ying smiled bitterly.
"No matter what she promised, the little brother saved Murong Yun's life today, and Murong Yun will never forget this kind of kindness." Murong Yun took a step forward and solemnly hugged his fists at Mu Ying.
"General Murong doesn't have to be like this, if it weren't for Hongluan finding him and maneuvering around it, he wouldn't be able to save you with the power of the next person." Mu Ying smiled.
"She?" Murong Yun glanced at Hongluan and said indifferently: "I have lost all my life's reputation, and when this matter is over, I will personally ask Your Majesty for my guilt, and then thank myself to the temple to uphold the emperor's authority." β
"Murong!" Hongluan's complexion changed.
"Needless to say! I, Murong Yun, don't know what your obsession is, but what I can do is to forgive you, forgive you for killing my 200,000 army with one word, forgive you for ruining my reputation for half a lifetime, and forgive you for fighting against the court again and again. β
"But I can't forgive myself alone!" Murong Yun let out a beast-like roar in his throat: "Because I listened to your slander, let 200,000 people die in the mouth of the demon beast!" β
"That's not your fault! It's clearly the phoenix shadow ......"
"The Holy Lord's original intention was not to transfer troops to me! But because I made a big fuss in the Flying Frost Temple, I was forced to lend it to me! Murong Yun's eyes were full of pain: "Not only am I ashamed of the 200,000 dead souls, but I also shamed the saints, and as soon as the military expenses came out, the imperial court was even more energetic!" β
"If it weren't for my lack of concern for everything, Feng Ying wouldn't have been resentful for so long, let alone use such extreme means......"
"Stupid." In Mu Ying's mouth, two words popped out coldly.
"What?" Murong Yun was stunned.
"I said you're stupid." Mu Ying repeated it again.
"Since you claim to be a loyal minister, when you are excellent both inside and outside the court, you should fight for power. Although I don't know how many loyal ministers will be left in the temple after you are gone, I at least know that if that Fengying really takes over the military power, no matter how loyal the ministers are, it will be useless. β
"By the way, I'll tell you again, the person who has put you in prison and is firmly in charge of the imperial capital is not Fengying at all!"
"Why did you tell him......" A faint sigh came from Mu Ying's ears.
"What did you say!" Murong Yun exclaimed.
"The power of the Ke family has been immersed in Kyoto, and the current phoenix shadow is just a replacement of a demon raised by the Ke family, and its purpose is to replace the temple, encroach step by step, and finally seize the Li family's world."
"How did you know this, a demon master?" Murong Yun muttered.
"Someone told me." Mu Ying smiled.
"So, where is the real phoenix shadow?" Murong Yun suddenly asked eagerly: "If the Ke family is really secretly replaced, the real phoenix shadow should have been replaced long ago, then the Ke family will always ask about the code and communication methods in the army, she will definitely be fine!"
