Chapter 107: Loyalty and Hypocrisy
Or rather, he had been frightened out of his body and froze in place.
"You go, go quickly. ”
Qin Lin was worried that the dark soul would regret it, and urged the guards.
After all, dark souls are evil.
The guard's limp legs couldn't go anywhere.
At this time, his mind couldn't help but think of the "Martial Realm" cultivation registered in Qin Lin when he had just entered the city.
Huashan City has the "Heavenly Spirit Stone" left over from ancient times, which can check the concentration of martial energy, that is, the cultivation of martial artists.
"But the fuck this is the 'Martial Artist Realm'? How the hell can this be the 'Martial Artist Realm'!"
The guards were desperate.
In the inspection of the Heavenly Spirit Stone, there has never been a mistake, even the master of the Five Elements Sect cannot hide his cultivation in front of the Heavenly Spirit Stone, and create fake cultivation information.
Therefore, the guards couldn't understand why Qin Lin's cultivation would make the Heavenly Spirit Stone check wrong.
Even, he began to wonder if Qin Lin's strength was already strong enough to conceal his cultivation in front of the Heavenly Spirit Stone.
If so, it is undoubtedly the scariest thing to do!
Qin Lin didn't pay any attention to the guards, his footsteps bypassed in front of him, and walked towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
The guards in the courtyard had already heard the movement outside the courtyard, and they were all rushing in at this time.
Just before they arrived, Qin Lin's heavy force exploded as if it were exploding, blasting open the towering gate.
When he stepped into the threshold, he was greeted by the guards of the palace with gong nu in hand.
In the hazy moonlight, they couldn't see clearly the bloodstained scene outside the gate, but they were still surprised.
"So fast? Aren't there more than a hundred people arranged outside? Why did this killer break in so quickly?"
Gong Nu has this doubt.
But no matter what, they still had to resolutely carry out their task, aiming dozens of sharp arrows at Qin Lin's thin body with unmistakable accuracy.
"Bold fanatics, the City Lord's Mansion also dares to trespass, don't be caught soon!"
Gong Nu hands are lined up in formation.
After the formation, a soldier on a black horse let out a threatening sound.
Qin Lin lowered his head, his expression a little blank.
The long sword in his hand was shaking secretly.
This is the Dark Soul's killing nature once again, and its power is getting stronger and stronger.
Qin Lin struggled to control.
It should be said that it is difficult to suppress the bloodthirsty Yu Wang of the dark soul, but he knows that this is useless.
The power of the dark soul is comparable to that of the Martial King Realm.
And he, Qin Lin, is only in the Martial Realm, even if the dark soul is suppressed within his body, his strength is by no means enough to completely seal the out-of-control dark soul.
"Don't hurry up and catch it!"
Seeing that Qin Lin had no intention of surrendering, the soldiers opened their mouths again to threaten.
Qin Lin shook his head and said helplessly: "Get out of the way, otherwise you will all die." ”
"What?"
The soldiers were furious.
He thought, Lao Tzu surrounded you with a group of people, and they were all using gong nu with poisoned arrows, and you little hairy man still dared to speak out.
"Listen to the guards!"
The soldier raised the long sword in his hand, ready to use the sword as a signal, signaling all Gong Nu to fire poisoned arrows.
However, at the moment when he swung his sword, a cold light passed in front of his eyes.
Just listen to the sound of "bang".
The long sword in the soldier's hand was cut in half in an instant.
"This ...... What's going on......"
The soldier's eyes widened.
"I still don't understand, I could easily have cut off your head!"
Qin Lin's voice sounded behind the soldiers.
He clenched his sword.
The arm couldn't stop shaking.
Now even if Qin Lin wanted to discard the long sword, it was impossible, and the power of the dark soul was tightly wrapped around the sword, controlling the edge of the long sword.
"You, you ......"
The soldiers were frightened by Qin Lin's voice.
Accidentally tumbled off the horse's back.
He never expected that Qin Lin was already behind him.
It's so fast that it's like the legendary "teleportation".
In fact, Qin Lin's proficiency in Phantom Ling Step is improving.
This made Qin Lin smile bitterly, and he realized that the dark soul was taking the initiative to help him improve his mastery of various martial arts.
It's not a good thing, it's definitely not a good thing!
"Do you want to take my body and replace me?"
Qin Lin asked the dark soul surging in his body.
It seems that the dark soul can indeed understand Qin Lin's language, and it is intensifying the release of power.
In this way, Qin Lin understood!
"Go and tell everyone, if you don't want to die, don't stop me!"
Qin Lin dropped a word, turned around and continued to walk towards the depths of the mansion.
The soldier wanted to order Gong Nu's hand to shoot an arrow at Qin Lin's back, but in the end, he rationally chose to give up.
With Qin Lin's attack speed that was so fast that people couldn't see it clearly, the soldiers understood that whoever dared to stop Qin Lin tonight would die.
"Young City Lord, you really shouldn't cooperate with that bastard son of the Xiao family, this time you have provoked a real god of death, a real demon king!"
The soldiers murmured sadly.
The City Lord's Mansion was not very big, Qin Lin's footsteps walked between the buildings in the mansion, following Yu'er's faint martial arts aura, and soon came to Zhou Jianxiu's dormitory courtyard.
It is inevitable that the courtyard will be heavily guarded.
It should be said that the real elite of Huashan City are concentrated inside and outside this courtyard.
"Sure enough, it came. ”
In front of the courtyard, a familiar face appeared in front of Qin Lin's eyes.
Qin Lin was surprised.
"Little second brother?"
The man in front of him, dressed in a practice uniform and holding a long stick, showed a faint smile: "I heard that you healed my brother's injury!"
"Your brother?"
Qin Lin paused, but soon realized that the man in front of him was not the shopkeeper of the Huashan Inn, but his twin brother.
Brother Zhang Bao, younger brother Zhang Li.
Everyone in Huashan City knew that the two brothers were Zhou Jianxiu's most loyal guards, and they were also the best martial arts masters in Huashan City.
"You brothers look alike. ”
Qin Lin looked a little weak when he spoke.
He was tired.
In order to suppress the dark spirit, he did almost everything.
In fact, Qin Lin at this time was not suitable for fighting at all.
The most rational thing to do is to leave quickly, and then hurry to the Grass Pavilion with the Lishan Pass, and after getting the medicinal materials, refine the "Soul Awareness Ghost Grass" to change the consciousness of the dark soul.
But...... Qin Lin couldn't make a decision.
He can't leave Yu'er behind.
So even if he was extremely tired, he still had to be stubborn.
Zhang Bao in front of him raised his long stick and pointed at Qin Lin, "For your sake of healing my brother, I won't kill you, you will be arrested immediately, I believe that the young city lord will not embarrass you too much." ”
"Don't embarrass me, he should want to break me to pieces now!"
Qin Lin sneered.
Zhang Bao disagreed.
"The young city lord is a kind person, and he has never liked to kill, as long as you lay down your weapons, I will intercede for you!"
With a firm attitude, Zhang Bao seemed to be treated well after using his personality to guarantee Qin Lin's surrender.
It can be seen that the twin brothers of the Zhang family are both loyal, but unfortunately their heads are all tendons, and they can't see Zhou Jianxiu's hypocrisy clearly.
"I don't want to talk to you too much, get out of the way. ”
Qin Lin stepped forward with Zhang Bao's long stick, showing a tough posture.
Zhang Bao frowned, "Don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink." ”
"This sentence should be for me to say to you, for the sake of the little second brother's face, I really don't want to kill you, don't embarrass me. ”
Qin Lin said in a flat tone, but faintly, he could hear that he was clenching his teeth.
That's right, the power of the dark soul is already in the sword.
If it weren't for Qin Lin's stubborn grasp of the long sword, when Zhang Bao pointed the long stick at Qin Lin just now, the dark soul would have already been about to kill.
Zhang Bao sighed.
"It seems that there is no way to hide. ”
With that, he put on a posture.
There was a slight glow on the long stick, which showed that Zhang Bao's cultivation was indeed excellent.
Just as Qin Lin used a sword, he could drive the sword soul.
Zhang keeps the long stick, he has the soul of his weapon.
"Qin Lin, I heard that you only have the martial artist realm, but looking at your momentum, I guess your cultivation is at least in the martial artist initial realm. ”
Zhang Baoyan said, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he continued: "In terms of age, you are indeed a genius unparalleled in the world, but unfortunately, you have met another genius. ”
"I see. ”
Qin Lin smiled.
From Zhang Bao's weapon soul, it cannot be guessed that he is definitely a master of the martial arts realm, and moreover, it should be the strength of the martial artist above the fifth level.
"One last warning, don't embarrass me. ”
Zhang Bao persuaded.
"Stop talking nonsense. ”
Qin Lin knew the loyalty of the Zhang brothers, and they would not take the initiative to back down.
So in desperation, Qin Lin had to release a trace of dark soul power slightly.
But even this trace of dark soul still set off a sky-high evil spirit.
Zhang Bao was quite surprised when he saw this.
"This Qin Lin's strength is really unfathomable, I'm afraid that his strength is not inferior to me. ”
Zhang Bao judged.
Originally, Zhang Bao only thought that Qin Lin's strength could reach the initial realm of martial artists, but now he had to admit that Qin Lin's strength might be comparable to him.
You must know that Zhang Bao is known as a genius who is rare in the world.
He believed that there must be more talented martial cultivators in the world than him, but it was hard for him to believe that Qin Lin, who was a teenager, could cultivate higher than him.
If it is a late stage of martial arts that can be cultivated by teenagers, then it can really be called a "god man".
"It's a shame that a teenage genius. ”
Zhang Bao was secretly helpless.
The task he received was to get rid of Qin Lin with his own hands.
So tonight he had to kill Qin Lin, otherwise he would be disloyal.
"Stop...... Stop......"
Just as Zhang Bao and Qin Lin were all bursting out of their martial qi and a big battle was about to break out, a crisp and rapid voice came out from a distance on the dim avenue of the palace.
Immediately, Zhang Bao, Qin Lin, and the guards all heard dense footsteps.
Through the faint light of the moonlight, Qin Lin saw a shadow appear.
And behind Qianying, there is a group of attendants who are pressed by the black.
"Wei Ying!"
Qin Lin frowned slightly, and said in his heart, "What kind of fun is this girl here!"
When Zhang Bao saw Wei Ying, he immediately bowed his hand: "The last general, Huashan Chengwei, see Miss Wei Ying." ”
Wei Ying didn't pay any attention, and didn't even glance at Zhang Bao.
In her opinion, a small city guard is not worth watching.
"Qin Gongzi, are you okay?"
After Wei Ying walked in, she asked with concern.
Qin Lin took a deep breath.
Although he was very reluctant to contact Wei Ying, he had to admit that if Wei Ying opened his mouth now, the entire City Lord's Mansion, including Zhou Jianxiu, would have to kneel down obediently.
This is the best way to rescue Yu'er.
Of course, this is based on the premise that the dark souls are not under control at this time.
If the power of the dark soul could still be allowed to be retracted by Qin Lin as freely as before, then Qin Lin would definitely rescue himself.
"Try to avoid driving the dark soul again! I have no choice but to let this hypocritical girl help. ”
Qin Lin was unwilling in his heart.
Slowly raised his hand and said to Wei Ying: "Miss Wei Ying, Zhou Jianxiu kidnapped my friend, and I ask you to help Zhou Jianxiu release my friend." ”
"The little girl has already heard about it, Qin Gongzi, don't worry, your friend is the little girl's friend. ”
Wei Ying said sincerely.
It's as if she's a righteous person.
Qin Lin endured the nausea surging in his heart, and then arched his hand: "Thank you, Miss Wei Ying." ”
"Qin Gongzi is outside. ”
Wei Ying said, walking towards Zhou Jianxiu's dormitory.
The guards, including Zhang Bao, are very difficult to do now.
They are the guards of the City Lord's Mansion and should obey Zhou Jianxiu's orders, but Wei Ying is the daughter of the supreme ruler of the Western Continent, and her status is equivalent to that of a princess.
"Miss Wei Ying......"
In the end, Zhang Bao, who still had a tendon in his brain, stood up.
Wei Ying's willow leaves shrank slightly.
"Zhang Weijiang, don't stop me, otherwise it will be very troublesome. ”
Wei Ying said it mildly.
Zhang Bao understood the meaning of the words, but he was still persistent.
"Miss Wei Ying, please forgive me, I can't let you in without the permission of the young city lord. ”
"Bold!"
Before Zhang Bao finished speaking, the attendants behind Wei Ying were already reprimanded.
The attendant said: "What is Zhou Jianxiu, where does my young lady want to go, and he still needs his permission?
Zhang Bao had nothing to say.
He knew the sin of stopping Wei Ying, but he was not afraid, what he wanted to protect was his faith, loyal to Zhou Jianxiu's faith.
"Zhang Weijiang, the little woman has always regarded the young city lord as her brother, although what he did today is unbearable, but the little woman will never embarrass him, and ask Zhang Weijiang to let him go. ”
Wei Ying was almost in a pleading tone.
To be honest, being able to put her body so low, to be able to bend and stretch so much, Wei Ying is really a clear stream among the conspirators.
At least Qin Lin admired it.
Without thinking about it, if it was him, he would have been killed a long time ago.
Zhang Bao is also caught in an absolute contradiction.
Wei Ying's "sincere" attitude made him feel overwhelmed, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally retreated.
He chose to believe Wei Ying.
He arched his hand and said: "If you offend Miss Wei Ying, you are willing to accept all punishments, and I hope that Miss Wei Ying can do what you say, don't embarrass the young city lord, and forgive the young city lord." ”
In the final analysis, Zhang Bao also felt that Zhou Jianxiu's behavior was shameful, but there was no way, as a loyal servant, he still had to intercede for Zhou Jianxiu.
Wei Ying smiled sweetly, "General Zhang Wei is brave and loyal, why is he still punished, as for the young city lord, the little woman has her own measure, Zhang Wei will not need to worry." ”
With that, Wei Ying walked into the courtyard.
Her words are very mellow, the so-called "self-measured", presumably the scale will not be small!
Qin Lin followed Wei Ying into the courtyard.
But just as he stepped in, a breath that made Qin Lin uneasy came to his face.
"Is it ......?"
Qin Lin frowned.
Lunge forward.
This move couldn't help but frighten Wei Ying, and even more frightened Zhang Bao, he thought that Qin Lin was going to rush into the house and kill Zhou Jianxiu first.
"Stop!"
Zhang Bao shouted.
And Qin Lin had already kicked open Zhou Jianxiu's door.
Really......
Qin Lin stood outside the door of the room, his expression stiff.
Zhang Bao stretched out his hand and grabbed Qin Lin's shoulders fiercely: "The surname is Qin, with me, you don't want to hurt the young city lord!"
"Do you still need me to get hurt?"
Qin Lin made an expressionless voice.
Hearing this, Zhang Bao followed Qin Lin's gaze and looked into the room.
I saw that Zhou Jianxiu's body was hanging in mid-air.
Around his neck, a white curtain stretched towards the hanging beam.
Zhou Jianxiu, hanged, dead!
