The black chariot stopped on the dirt slope below the mountain, and the six figures watched the exploding and burning Moke City as if they were enjoying fireworks.

"It's a spectacular scene. Don't you think? Qi Huanli asked the others excitedly.

"If we don't have to go to the city later, I fully agree with you." Lu Yuyou fiddled with the ends of his hair and replied casually.

Simon Qingfeng put his hands in his trouser pockets, and his handsome side face looked so pale in the cold wind. He is like a lonely wolf, even if he has a companion by his side, he can't hide that lonely heart.

At this time, Chen Huifeng pointed to the mountain on the other side and said, "Look! It is the surprise attack force of King Hewei. ”

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, they saw the Hewei army ambushed in the mountains rushing towards Moke City like a tide. During this time, four white elephants pulled a giant chariot ten meters high, and the mysterious King Hewei was rumored to sit on it. He wears a red and white Rakshasa ghost face and a dazzling tungsten gold armor, and sits on the golden throne with great power. Two graceful and charming-eyed dancers danced in front of him, undisturbed by the sound of distant explosions.

The Hewei army quickly surrounded the city of Mocao, erected trebuchets from all sides, and archers lined up in a phalanx to fire fuel-fired rockets. The Imperial Capital Army in Moke City was immediately engulfed in flames, and the vortex of explosions and flames consumed the lives of tens of thousands of people, and the white clouds over the city were also dyed a scorched black color.

The fire lasted for two days and two nights, and the imperial army that narrowly escaped from the city was slaughtered by the Hewei army waiting outside the city, and no one survived. A fire burned down the entire city of Mokka, and the ruins of the houses were littered with smoke-blackened masonry and charred corpses with unrecognizable faces. The flames destroy everything, but at the same time purify everything, both visible and invisible.

The Hewei army began to enter the city to clean up the battlefield, and when they encountered the imperial capital army that still had a trace of breath, they killed it mercilessly. Ximen Qingfeng and others also came from outside the city, and the six of them visited Hewei Wang Bi, and a pawn suddenly came to report and said: "I have not found the golden tiger order of Huo Yiben of the imperial capital army. ”

King Hewei was silent for a moment, and he couldn't see what kind of expression he had under the Rakshasa mask, so he only listened to him: "If there is no Golden Tiger Order, it means that Huo Yiben is still alive." If he doesn't die, the Imperial Capital Army will make a comeback. After that, he looked at the group of Hewei generals beside him, and continued: "The city is surrounded by groups, Huo Yiben has nothing to escape, and he has never seen a small buoyancy boat, so it is impossible for him to escape from the air. The only possibility is to leave underground and send someone to investigate, there must be a secret passage in the city that we don't know about. ”

After some searching, a tunnel was found in a private house. It turned out that the figure that Huo Wuxian accidentally saw was a dead soldier who escaped in the city, these people were greedy for life and afraid of death, and they were forced to be selected as a dead soldier, so they had the idea of secretly digging a tunnel to escape. This is also Huo Wujian's life should not be killed, although he found a way to escape, it was difficult to evacuate the hundreds of thousands of troops in a short time, so there were only a pitiful less than a thousand people who followed them to escape.

King Hewei was thinking about countermeasures, but he saw a pawn come to report quickly, "A few escaped dead soldiers have been caught outside the city, and they confessed that they dug a secret passage in the city and led directly to the Heavenly Ghost Temple outside the city. ”

"Haha......" King Hewei suddenly laughed, "We tried our best to kill Huo Yiben, but we didn't expect his life to be so hard. He looked at Ximen Qingfeng and said, "You should know how to do it, right?" ”

Ximen Qingfeng smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Of course! Before it gets dark, we will definitely bring back Huo Yiben's corpse to meet you. After saying that, he and a group of soul warriors left in the black royal car.

King Hewei looked in the direction of their departure, and the Rakshasa face on his face had an indescribable solemnity.

Tenki Temple, this doesn't sound like a serious temple. What is enshrined in the temple is not a statue of a Bodhisattva who saves suffering, but an ugly statue of a heavenly ghost. What is a heavenly ghost? I'm afraid that no one in this world knows at all, and those who really know have long since turned into the dust of history. However, there are still some ancient legends about heavenly ghosts that have been preserved, dating back to the time when their ancestors lived, and people did not have the concept of worshipping gods and Buddhas, so they already had the act of worshipping heavenly ghosts and demons. At that time, it was believed that by offering daily offerings to the heavenly demons and allowing them to receive their own tribute, they would be able to avoid persecution by evil spirits. It wasn't until later that the concept changed, and there was a habit of visiting Buddhist temples and shrines.

It has become a waste that has been eliminated by the times, and the degree of dilapidation of the Tenki Temple is far beyond imagination. The ruined walls were covered with thorns, and there was not a single door from the courtyard to the temple. Under the eaves, you can see the bird's nest built by the house swallows, the corners of the walls are made of silk webs woven by black spiders, and half-human-high weeds grow between the stone cracks in the hall, and even the head and arms of the heavenly ghost statue are missing.

There is a straw mat on the ground next to the statue of the heavenly ghost, and the homeless man who does not know where it is placed here. But now it was lifted up from underneath, and a hand reached out from the ground beneath the mat, and lifted the straw mat entirely, revealing a tunnel that only allowed one person to pass underneath.

"It's finally at the exit." This person was Huo Wuxian, he was embarrassed at this time, and his body was covered with mud. Their legion of survivors struggled to survive in the crowded underworld, and now they have finally seen the light of day.

All the people came out of the tunnel, and counted the eight hundred and thirty-seven people. Huo Yiben sat on the straw mat next to the Heavenly Ghost Statue, he looked at the water bag in his hand expressionlessly, and even the simplest soldier could see his thoughts at this moment. As the founding general of a vast empire, he failed to lead his army to victory in the war; As the leader of a team, he caused hundreds of thousands of soldiers to die tragically in the flames of war; As a father, he did not set a good example for his sons. Everything turned into a heavy pressure on him alone, even if he didn't say it, even if he chose to bear it alone, the reality seemed too cruel.

"Dad, we have lost too many men and horses in this battle, so we should return to Xia Qian City immediately to prevent any changes in the Hewei army." Huo Yunqi used the spear as a crutch and came to his father and said.

Huo Yiben nodded, "That's it." At this time, he understood that no matter how much remorse and self-blame he had, it would be useless. What really matters is the hundreds of soldiers who survived in front of them, if even these people's lives cannot be saved, it will be a real defeat.

At this moment, a voice came from a high place: "I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to Xia Qian City, this Heavenly Ghost Temple is your burial place." ”

Everyone walked out of the temple to look for prestige, only to see that on the roof of the Heavenly Ghost Temple, Qi Huanli appeared with a blade wind shield in his hand.

"Is that you?" Huo Yunqi stared at the figure on the roof, and his face suddenly became serious.

Qi Huanli raised his hand and threw the wind blade knife formed by the air flow, like a fast arrow flying towards Huo Yunqi. The tip of the spear in the air arrived first, completely shattering the wind blade with a fierce force, and the person with the gun was Huo Yiben on the side.

"Ah......" A miserable scream came from behind Huo Yi himself, and he saw a soldier's waist wrapped around a slender python-like flame fox tail, burning his flesh alive. Chen Huifeng walked in from the main gate outside the Heavenly Ghost Temple, followed by the nine-tailed fire fox.

Huo Yunqi reminded Huo Yiben: "Dad, you have to be careful, they joined forces to attack me last time." Before the words fell, Lu Yuyou also followed Chen Huifeng to the temple, her soul pattern energy formed a dark blue liquid on the palm of her hand, and as soon as her palm was flipped, it was all sprinkled on the ground. The dark blue liquid was only a small mass at first, but in the blink of an eye, it spread across the surface of the temple's floor tiles, gradually covering the ground around her and Chen Huifeng, and it was still extending in a farther direction. This is her soul pattern ability, the earth-binding waters.

To determine the outcome of a battle, detached insight and quick action are indispensable. This is the summary of Huo Yiben's experience gained in countless battles in the past few decades, no matter how strong the enemy is or whether the enemy is weak, whenever the battle begins, he must be the first to strike. Rushed to the low brick wall in the courtyard in three or two steps, picked up the Nine Heavens Cloud Python Gun in his hand and struck hard, and the wall that had been loosened for a long time collapsed with a bang. He shouted at the other soldiers: "You are not the opponent of the Soul Tattoo Warriors, don't make unnecessary sacrifices, I have to deal with it here, you retreat immediately!" ”

Chen Huifeng said: "He is worthy of being a veteran of the empire. But even with your own strength, how long can you stop it? With that, he manipulated the nine long tails of the firefox, rolled up the nine soldiers, lifted them all into the air, and then slammed them to the ground.

His action completely angered Huo Yiben, and the hook and claw of the tail of the Nine Heavens Cloud Python spear immediately shot out, and when it was about to pierce into his chest, a heavy hammer swung from the side, making a piercing sound at the moment it collided with the hook claw. Immediately, the hook claw deviated from the target, and was quickly retracted by Huo Yiben.

Saben, who was holding the death sickle and ice-breaking hammer, appeared and shouted, "You will die Huo Yiben today!" ”

At this time, the dark blue liquid that Lu Yuyou had released earlier had spread to the entire courtyard, and her soul pattern skill was activated instantly, only to see liquid arms stretched out from the dark blue liquid, grabbing the soldiers who tried to escape from the courtyard wall. These arms were as transparent as water, and even if they were slashed with a sword, they could only penetrate and could not be destroyed, and everyone was trapped in place for a while and could not get out.

"Take me again!" Qi Huan on the roof of the temple jumped down, holding the wind shield formed by the air flow in one hand in front of him, and holding the other wind blade knife born with soul pattern energy in the other, and went straight to Huo Yunqi to kill.

Huo Yunqi's feet were also trapped by Lu Yuyou's soul pattern ability, so he had to take the knife with one hand. However, his old injuries had not healed, and Qi Huanli fell from the roof again, and the fierce force suddenly caused the wounds on his body to collapse, and the blood almost splashed through his armor.

On the other side, Saben swung a heavy hammer and launched a frantic attack on Huo Yiben, who could not move. The Death Scythe Ice Breaker Hammer and the Nine Heavens Cloud Python Spear frequently danced in the air with illusory flashes, and the fierce collision sound seemed to be playing high-pitched and passionate music. In terms of strength, he was slightly superior, but in terms of the skills of using weapons, he was pulled away by Huo Yiben for 108,000 miles. In the sword battles that you came and went, he was almost stabbed by Huo Yiben's spear several times, and he felt that he was getting more and more difficult to parry.

At this time, Xiao Yue's figure appeared on the roof of the temple, holding a sniper rifle in his hand, and his eyes were completely golden. This is his Soul Pattern ability, the Eye of God, and after activating the Soul Pattern Energy, his eyes have insight at the speed of light, and everything is equivalent to a static state in his gaze.

A gunshot startled several crows on the old tree outside the temple, and Huo Yunqi, who was fighting with Qi Huanli in the courtyard, fell to the ground. He was left with a clear bullet hole in the center of his eyebrow, and remained with his eyes open until he died.

"Second brother!" Huo Wuxian in front of the temple gate exclaimed, and the next moment, his soul pattern ability had been activated, and the Thunder Shadow Flying Dragon Horse instantly attracted everyone's attention.
