Chapter 4: The Devil's Heart Dances
However, at this moment, a blue figure appeared in front of me!
I exclaimed, "Sophie Cather, what are you running in for?!" β
Sophie Cather retreated to my side when she heard this, took my left hand affectionately, and let go of "Gege" and said with a coquettish smile: "Master, the slave and maid are connected to your life, if something happens to you, I can't survive!" β
After speaking, he looked back at the surging Imperial soldiers, and a charming smile slowly unfolded from his face...... Then, Sophie Cather took two steps forward and suddenly performed a strange dance move!
That's right, she really danced on the battlefield! As her sensual dance swirled, a * breath spread through the air, and she made all sorts of disorienting, almost intense movements in the whirling dance steps, her round waist twisting like a snake, and the angry twin peaks beating dazzlingly...... And the face of the beautiful and overwhelming beings also reflected the expression of extreme debauchery and entertainment, the eyebrows seemed to be lame and comfortable, and the sound of a song like a poem and a murmuring of love words floated out of the red sandalwood mouth, as if calling for the love of a lover, and from time to time the eyes of the moist and silky flattery also cast the eyes that seemed to be resentful and bitter to those imperial soldiers who were gradually approaching, and the gestures made the heart pulse accelerate and the blood boiled!
All the Imperial soldiers involuntarily stopped, and watched her dance with their mouths open, their young faces flushed as if they were congested, and their red eyes burst out with a gaze of intense lust, as if they had forgotten their original purpose, and did not even remember who they were, and their minds were again immersed in an illusion of fornication and madness.

The battlefield that should have been ten steps of blood and saber rattling suddenly fell eerily quiet, and it seemed that only Sophie Cather's figure was intertwined with passion and hope dancing in the world......
But I stared at Sophie Cather's demagogic figure with a solemn expression, and suddenly felt a tingling in my heart, and I couldn't help but snort, and said coldly: "Sophie, that's enough!" β
But Sophie Kaiser ignored my words, and still danced violently, as if she would dance forever......
I suddenly jumped up to her, reached out and pressed lightly on her back, and Sophie Cather's breath was choked, and her dancing was chaotic, and she was forced to stop, and at the same time she coughed up a mouthful of blood in her mouth, but her delicate body was shaky.
I took her into my arms, and Sophie, who was conscious, stared at me with a sad and resentful look, opened her bloodshot mouth, and asked puzzledly, "Why...... Stop me? β
I looked at the beautiful and poignant face of the Yiren in my arms, which seemed to have been washed away with gorgeous radiance, and said angrily and sadly: "You are trying in vain to induce all the spiritual power and magic power in your body and stimulate all your life potential, and launch the 'Demon Heart Dance' in the face of hundreds of thousands of people--this is not something that you, a witch of the Four Realms, can do!" If you keep going, you'll die of exhaustion......"
"Then let me die with a dance...... I'm dead, maybe you'll still live; If you die, my life will die with the blood covenant...... Why don't you let me use my life to fulfill your vitality and hope? In this way, even if I don't know true love, I finally know how to sacrifice for the man who protects her...... To let a man I remember with my death that I will never get will at least prove that I once existed......" Sophie Cather said poignantly.
I scolded sadly, "You fool! A sucker! How to do stupid things! I don't want you to die for me! If you want to be my woman, you have to live to be my woman! I will teach you how to love and be loved! You have always been a smart woman, why are you so stupid this time! You know, if you lose your life, you have nothing! Even if it will exist in the memory of a living person, you will never know! β
Sophie Cather smiled slightly and said weakly, "Actually, I didn't think about it so much...... At that time, I thought that you might die, and I rushed involuntarily, and my body and mind were no longer under the control of the intellect, just like last time...... I just instinctively felt that if you died, I would lose the most precious thing...... That feeling was even worse than death...... Maybe it's called zuo love...... Doesn't it mean that women who fall in love become stupid? β
I suddenly felt a sour in my heart, my eyes moistened uncontrollably, and I said in a dumb voice: "Sophie, promise me!" Don't do stupid things in the future......"
only to find that the jade man in his arms had fallen asleep.
At this time, the Imperial soldiers began to wake up from the vision, and looked around in a daze, not remembering what had just happened, only vaguely feeling as if they were having a collective dream, and found that they were soaked all over, and their lower bodies were sticky and extremely uncomfortable, but experienced soldiers knew that it was called a dream.
β»β»β»
Panicked by this strange situation, Azerio hurriedly waved his sword and shouted: "All the soldiers obey the order, swear to punish the demon girl and the culprit!" β
The Imperial soldiers rushed towards me again, but after a dream, their momentum was frustrated, and they no longer had the sharpness and murderous aura they had before. However, this did not threaten me with the death of the exploitation of the weak 300,000 army!
I quickly picked up Sophie Cather and retreated into the magic protection array, handed her over to Esafnia and others to take care of, and then rushed out of the magic array again, the long sword "Weiming" came out of his hand, and rotated sharply at a meter in front of him, rolling the wind element of the space into the axis of the "Weiming" flying whirl, slowly brewing a tornado storm, a dark blue flame erupted from the sword body, rushing sharply around the center of the storm, and the surrounding space began to enter a state of weightlessness!
I want to use the "unnamed" sword body as a carrier to send out beautiful magic - the remnants of wind and flame that blow through time and space!
At this time, the city gate in the distance was wide open, and hundreds of thousands of silver tasseled iron horsemen rushed out and rushed towards this side!
From afar, you can faintly see the red-haired, delicate but sturdy figure of the tall blue horse leading - my beloved wife Li Binglan!
Azelio's face was shocked, but he immediately mobilized 100,000 heavy cavalry from the Tsykov regiment to protrude from the center and block the advance of the "Silver Silk" Knights, while on the other hand, he withdrew the light and heavy infantry that were preparing to storm and concentrated all the archers against me.
Countless arrows with a cold glow pointed at me from afar, and at the sound of Azelio's command, a rain of arrows would rain down on me!
"Wait!" A low, loud voice came clearly into the murderous arrayβit was transmitted in a rather strange way, as if it was out of reach, but also as if it were close to the ear, and as if it were suddenly composed of several separate syllables.
As the voice sounded, countless black particles suddenly appeared in front of the archers, and the particles quickly converged into several remnants of human bodies, and all the afterimages also overlapped in an instant, condensing into a thin and slender figure. The man was also carrying a small human body under his flank.
The way that person appeared was as if he was using space magic, but it was not magic, but a wonderful body connected to the way of the sword - "Streamer"! It is by filling the whole body with the sword fighting qi of Pei Ran, pushing the body to make an incredible spatial shift, and instantly crossing the impossible distance to penetrate and appearing at the destination. Due to the extremely high-speed orbit of the body, the cells of each part are out of sync in microseconds, and the tissues of the whole body appear to be separated from each other, turning into countless particles, so we see that the person initially appeared in the state of particles, and then gradually condensed into several afterimages, returning to the original entity.
Of course, the use of this kind of body method that seems to be like teleportation is extremely energy-consuming, and ordinary great swordsmen do not dare to try it easily, nor can they make a large-scale and long-term movement, because of the slightest deviation, or their own sword fighting qi is not strong enough to generate enough gravity to absorb the free cells back to the body, the user may collapse and die in the process of moving, or the body tissues will be scattered in space forever, resulting in the destruction of the body and spirit.
And that person successfully launched this instantaneous "streamer" body method, and successfully completed the body reorganization, but it took a certain amount of time to recover after appearing - but this alone is enough to show that the person who came has a "sword master" level of cultivation, of course, if there is not even this flaw, it is close to the god-level ability.
The man threw his body to the ground and shouted to the Imperial soldiers: "Listen up, soldiers under Marshal Tsykov! This man on earth is the murderer who poisoned your marshal - Anwachebi! β
Azeglio hesitated, sent someone forward to investigate, and the soldier immediately confirmed to his lieutenant the identity of the person lying on the ground limply: "Report to the lieutenant!" He's Dr. Awachebi, and he's still alive! β
Ignoring the Imperial soldiers, the man turned and walked up to me, knelt down and said, "Casta to see Your Majesty!" It's too late for the minister's rescue! β
I nodded to the faithful attendant, who had been missing for months because of his mentor's send-off, and said gratefully, "Kasta, you have come just in time! Thank you! β
And Azelio ordered the withdrawal of the arrow barracks, and conveyed the order of the armistice to the heavy cavalry - although the "Silver Silk" cavalry regiment did not know what was happening, but Li Binglan knew that the situation had changed, and immediately ordered to stop the attack, and the two sides formed a confrontation situation, but the original smell of fire has been diluted a lot.
Then Azeglio came up and saluted me, his face had softened, but he still said without doubt: "May I ask Your Highness, what is going on?" β
I laughed, "I don't know, I'd better let Casta explain......"
It turned out that after Kasta sent Ka Miao to the northern end of the continent, he went deep into the villages near the Jietian Mountains according to Ka Miao's instructions, found Ka Miao's child, and then brought him back to the empire to meet me.
But the boy was reluctant to act with Kasta, and when he reached the vicinity of the imperial capital, he finally found an opportunity to sneak away.
In desperation, Casta had to guess that he would enter the imperial capital to meet meβafter all, he must have wondered what that man would be like when it came to his father's guardian and future lover, right? So Casta continued in the direction of the imperial capital.
While resting in the mangrove forest outside the imperial capital, Casta came across a middle-aged man with a thin body and wearing the uniform of an imperial military medic and non-commissioned officer, hurriedly changing his clothes in the bushes, looking flustered, acting sneakily, and acting quite suspiciously.
As soon as Kasta's mind moved, he crept behind the man, only to see the man enter a makeshift pavilion and meet the other two men in black.
Kasta heard them plotting to poison Marshal Tsykov and marry me, trying to provoke conflict between me and Tsykov's soldiers, sabotage the peace talks, and remove me in one fell swoop by the hands of the Imperial soldiers.
When the Imperial Medic asked the two for the other half of the payment, he heard one of them say in a dark voice: "You want to be paid? No problem! Go to hell and ask Alexander the Great! Only the dead can keep secrets forever! β
Then he drew his sword and stabbed him in the heart.
And Casta also made a move at this time - although the skills of the two men in black were good, they were thousands of miles away from the personal disciples of the "Ultimate Sword Saint"? I saw that Kasta's long sword turned into two faint lights that were indistinguishable to the naked eye, and it penetrated the collarbones of the two of them at once, and at this time, the swords of the two had not had time to be fully handed out!
The reason why Casta didn't kill the killer was originally to leave the two of them for questioning, but the two men in black smiled miserably, and one of them said, "The operation failed!" β
When Casta noticed that the two of them were different, it was too late to stop them - they had already bitten through the poison sac hidden between their teeth, and they had taken the poison to death, and even their bodies and clothes had turned into black water, leaving no trace!
So Casta knocked the medic unconscious, carried him to rush here, and when I was in danger, he did not hesitate to launch the "streamer" body method, which was not yet fully mature, and ventured into the formation to prevent a terrible battle.
When Casta explained what had happened, Azerio ordered the unconscious Anwachebi to be awakened.
Knowing that the matter had been revealed, Anwachebi did not dare to hide it, so he confessed the matter to 1511: one night, when he secretly went to a tavern to drink and prostitute, he was targeted by several men in black, and when he was exhausted, he was knocked unconscious from behind, and when he woke up, he found himself in a dark room, and in the darkness there were several pairs of eyes like wild beasts, as if they were looking at their prey, and they were staring at him. Suddenly, someone lit a pine lamp, and through the light, he found five or six black-clothed men with gloomy expressions and strange temperaments around him, and one of them, a middle-aged man who looked like a leader, coldly asked him to assassinate Marshal Tsikov, and promised to give him 100,000 gold as a reward, half of which would be paid immediately, and the other half would be paid after the matter was completed. Tempted by money and threatened with death, Anwachebi gritted her teeth and agreed.
The man in black then handed him a medicine called "Curse Time Pill" - depending on the amount of medicine, the user would suddenly die within a preset time, and he could also use magic to cast a spell to precisely limit the time of death of the user. The man threatened to let him die in the most painful torture in the world if he dared to break his promise, and as he spoke, the shadow under his feet moved strangely. After that, Anwachebi was knocked unconscious again after being told how to contact him after the incident was completed. When he woke up again, he found that all the men in black had left, leaving only "Curse Shi Dan" and 50,000 gold gates by his side. Anwa Chebi found a safe place overnight to hide Kinkot, and after returning to the barracks, he found out the time of the peace talks, and then took advantage of the opportunity to diagnose Marshal Tsikov's illness and administered medicine, so that Tsykov died suddenly during the peace talks with me.
After saying that, Anwachebi trembled and lay down in front of Azerio to beg for mercy, saying that he was just a momentary obsession with money, and he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and then committed such a heinous evil deed.
Azeglio kicked Anwachebi away and asked for my opinion.
I looked coldly at the pale Anwachebi and said, "Do you know who instructed you? β
"I don't know...... I'm just a puppet, not a culprit...... Your Majesty spares your life! Anwachebi said with a shudder.
I noticed the change in his expression, and said coldly, "What's the use of keeping you like that!" β
After saying that, the killing machine emerged.
"Your Majesty spares your life...... Your Majesty spares your life...... I...... Know some clues...... But Your Majesty must promise not to kill me before I dare to say it......" Anwachebi said with a quick kowtow.
"That kind of depends on whether the clues you provide are useful...... If the information you tell me can help me find the culprit of the marshal's murder, I promise not to kill you! I said in a slower tone.
"Your Majesty...... I say...... When I first fell unconscious, I actually woke up a moment earlier than the man in black expected, and I didn't dare to move knowing that I was in danger, so I pretended to continue to be unconscious, but I heard their conversation...... In the darkness, a man said, 'Are you sure no one has found out?' The other replied respectfully: 'Returning to the Master's seat, we are very careful, and no one will find out that Anwachebi is missing!' The man who spoke first said coldly: 'That's good! This operation must only succeed, not fail! Then there was a moment of silence and a grumble said: 'Your Highness is true!' Let us do this kind of stealing and touching dogs, and we will alarm the commander to take action in person! The man who was called the 'seat teacher' immediately scolded: 'Silence! Your Highness attaches great importance to this mission and has great hopes for our people! We must not let His Highness down! But then he said gently, "Our clan and Your Highness are only using each other and taking what they need, and cooperating with Your Highness is only an expedient measure to strengthen our clan at present, so you must be patient for the time being!" Sooner or later...... Hum! He snorted coldly, and suddenly said with some impatience: 'Why hasn't the doctor woken up yet?' Did you take too hard of your hand and kill him? Hisoka, go over and take a look! A man said yes, and I heard footsteps approaching me, and then moved, pretending to have just woken up......"
Hearing this, Azeglio said excitedly: "Damn! Isn't the Shadow One Clan Aruton's puppet? That bitch-raised, despicable and shameless mongrel prince did not dare to fight a decisive battle with our army with dignity and open guns, but he instigated someone to assassinate the marshal! I immediately led my army back to the north and fought to Constantinburg! β
I put my hand lightly on his shoulder and said sternly, "Your Excellency Qi Yin is at ease! The marshal's revenge must be avenged, but everything must be considered in the long run, and a perfect strategy can be taken before action, otherwise, the lives of hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers will be lost in vain, how can Qi Shuai rest in peace? And I still have doubts about Avachebi's words! β
Hearing this, Azerio cast a murderous gaze on Avachebi, who was curled up on the ground, and said sharply: "Do you dare to lie to me! β
"Your Majesty, Lord Qi Yin...... I didn't panic...... That's all I heard at the time......" Anwachebi, already drenched in a cold sweat, said even more terrified.
"I don't doubt your access to the news, however, I question the veracity of its contents!" I pursed my lips and smiled, but my voice was as sharp as an ice blade, "Because your news came too easily...... I suspect that someone with a heart deliberately revealed it to you! The purpose is to spread a maze through your mouth and kill people with a knife again! This is most likely a serial poison scheme! β
"I ...... I'm me, I'm ......," Anwachebi said five "I" in a row, but couldn't speak.
"But, according to Avachebi's account, the shadow of the middle-aged man in black movesβthis must be a special effect of shadow magic, right?" Juliet asked.
"That's right! Isn't this enough to prove the identity of its shadow family? Azelio patted his forehead and said.
I calmly analyzed: "This happens to be the reason why I question his identity!" It stands to reason that the other party was trying to hide his origin, but just to intimidate Anwachebi he used shadow magic in front of him, leaving such obvious evidence - isn't it too much to trace? Therefore, I suspect that the other party deliberately let Avachebi overhear the conversation, but I was afraid that we would not believe it, so I deliberately showed this hand in front of him. In fact, it is not difficult to create the effect of shadow fluctuations, as long as you know a little bit of dark magic, you can do it, or directly target Anwachebi to cast spiritual magic, causing it to create illusions. β
"Your Highness's analysis is really to the point!" Azeglio exclaimed in admiration.
I turned to Anwachebison and said coldly: "I focus more on the characteristics of those people than the content of the conversation!" For example, what is unusual about your appearance, or what are the obvious birthmarks, scars, etc. on your body? An old fox like this, who is both afraid of death and greedy, will not be so easy to give in in the face of unforeseen circumstances, right? You should pay close attention to their every word and deed, right? β
Anwachebi tried to remember, and after a while, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "I remember! After I was awakened, in order to prevent them from doing anything against me again, I secretly stuffed my own pills into my mouth, which could speed up the flow of blood and have a refreshing effect, so that when they knocked me unconscious for the second time, I only fainted for a while and woke up, and they were still inside...... When the leader turned his back, I noticed a tattoo the size of a female finger on the back of his neck...... Hmm, it looks like the head of a sharp-horned wolf...... And their speech, walking, gestures, and sitting postures all give people a very familiar feeling...... Well, they have a temperament similar to that of our imperial soldiers! β
"Well, this information is enough to track down the identity of the other party! As long as I ask Simon to look through the personnel records of the Imperial Army over the years after I go back, I will definitely be able to find the identity of this person, so as to extract the person who started the conspiracy behind the scenes! I nodded to Azelio and said, "This man is useless to me!" I'll give it back to you! β
Anwachebi cried out: "Spare your life! Your Majesty! You promised not to kill me...... No jokes! You can't break your trust in the world......"
I sneered, "That's right, I promised not to kill you, but I didn't promise not to kill you on behalf of others - I didn't break my promise!" And at the moment Azelio has not expressed his obedience to my leadership, we are still hostile to each other, so I can't promise you anything on behalf of the enemy! I can only represent myself! β
After saying that, he turned around, hugged Sophie Cather and retreated into the crowd, standing with Esafnia, Juliet, Ekins and the others, no longer paying attention to Tao Howling and crying Anwachebi.
Azelio dragged him away with a grim face and handed him over to the vengeful soldiers, who would not show mercy to the murderers of their beloved Marshal Tsykov, so Anwachebi's tragic fate was already predestined, and he was soon chopped to pieces by the angry soldiers.
When Azelio had dealt with the affairs of Anwachebi, he led Marshal Tsykov and his generals to me and knelt down before me and said, "The last general will see your majesty!" The last general and 300,000 imperial troops hope to return to the empire, and are willing to obey the orders of the new empire and be loyal to your majesty! This is also the decision of the marshal during his lifetime! I beg your Majesty to accept it! In the past, the last general was disrespectful to His Majesty, and even almost injured His Majesty by mistake - the last general knew that his crime was serious, and he was willing to bear the responsibility for the crime and kill himself in front of His Majesty's seat, and hoped that His Majesty would pardon other soldiers and find out the culprit who murdered the marshal, and avenge the marshal! If he wishes, the last general should also smile at Jiuquan and follow the marshal without regrets! If there is an afterlife, it will be a blessing for Your Majesty's grace! β
With a smile, I picked up Azelio's generals one by one, and said to Azelio: "What is Qiyin's crime? There was a misunderstanding before, but now the rain has passed! I will not blame anyone, and I will also reward you for your loyalty and integrity! Qi Shuai's revenge still needs you to avenge it with your own hands, so Qi Yin must not talk about life and death lightly! β
"In order to repay Your Majesty's deep kindness, I will entrust my life to Your Majesty in the future, and follow Your Majesty to conquer the world with a humble life!" Azeglio said excitedly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The generals said in unison.
300,000 Imperial soldiers also cheered enthusiastically--
"Long live the new empire!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
β¦β¦
The 300,000 Imperial troops took the initiative to make way for the "Silver Silk" Knights, and Li Binglan rode to my side amid the cheers of the Imperial soldiers saying "Long live the Empress" and "Long live the 'Ice Maiden God of War'".
I held Sophie Cather in one hand and Binglan's jade hand on the other, and led the "Silver Silk" knights and the 300,000 returning army into the city.
As soon as I entered the city, Juliet said goodbye to me, and finally simply said, "Brother, cherish!" β
As I watched Juliet turn away, I knew that this was the last time she would call me "brother", and that she would be far from my life...... But is that really the end of it? Maybe......
