"Tsuki-chan?"

"Huh?"

“…… Did you feel like there was an earthquake just now? ”

Mengzhu, who was pulling Mu Yue towards Cao Zhuang, suddenly stopped and looked around, with doubts in his eyes.

"Earthquake?"

Mu Yue didn't notice it at all, but she didn't doubt Mengzhu's words.

This girl has been a child since she was a child, and her perception seems to be far better than ordinary people.

- Didn't you say that all the stupid people should be nervous? Why is Mengzhu an outlier?

"I didn't feel the earthquake." Mu Yue looked at the few pedestrians on the street around and didn't panic, "Maybe it's a small earthquake......

"Really......?"

Tilting his head, Mengzhu blinked his round eyes.

Boom ————!!!!!!

The sudden roar attracted the attention of the two.

Turning his head to look in the direction where the roar came from, he couldn't find anything except the seven pillars of light that he could see before.

Mengzhu, who likes to join in the fun and has the attribute of being crazy, immediately grabbed Mu Yue's arm excitedly and ran forward.

This time, Mu Yue felt that she couldn't come by Mengzhuhu anymore-

"Wait!"

Pulling Mengzhu back, Mu Yue put on a stern expression on his face: "With such a loud explosion, maybe there is some danger, so don't go." ”

"......"

Mengzhu immediately flattened his moist lips, and shook Mu Yue's arm while turning his head to look at the place where the explosion had occurred before.

"That'...... Are we looking from afar? ”

- How much do you want to join in the fun!

Mu Yue was worried about the danger and shook her head firmly in refusal.

"Obedient, Mengzhu, there should be an outbreak of evil spirits there-look at those pillars of light should be done by the people of Chongdao Palace-that kind of thing will only add chaos to us ordinary citizens."

"But ......"

"Obedient!"

Mengzhu immediately became like a frosted eggplant.

Mu Yue looked at Mengzhu and seemed to have given up on the plan to join in the fun, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Holding Mengzhu's hand, Mu Yue, who was about to walk back, was suddenly attracted by the sound from behind.

Turning the head –

“…… !!??? ”

A petite figure was rushing in this direction at unimaginable speed.

"Xingyun!?"

"Tsuki-chan Tsuki-chan! It's Xiaodao-kun! ”

That person was Gong Xingyun, who had already said goodbye.

In Gong Xingyun's hand, he was carrying the Emperor Qi Sword that Mu Yue once cared about.

I don't know if I found Mu Yue and the others, or if I think that if I run any longer, I will enter a crowded place and cause accidental injury, Gong Xingyun suddenly stopped his figure.

Turning around, he held the Emperor Qi Sword in both hands.

"Drink, ah, ah, ah——!!!!!"

The rounded sword sent out a half-moon-shaped slash of light.

And at this moment, the Yang Emperor Evil Spirit who suddenly appeared behind Gong Xingyun and the one hundred Praetorian Guard Legions led by him collided head-on!

Boom Boom Boom ——!!!

The air wave overturned the street trees on the side of the road, and some pedestrians who were closer were blown into the air.

Mu Yue hurriedly threw Mengzhu to the ground and pressed the latter under him.

Feeling the whistling wind coming from behind, Mu Yue gritted her teeth, and after seeing the evil spirits that seemed to be chasing Gong Xingyun for the time being, she hurriedly got up, pulled Mengzhu up, and ran in the opposite direction to Gong Xingyun.

"Tsuki-chan! Aren't we going to help? ”

"We can't help anything!"

Fighting evil spirits is something that only the Dao monarchs and Buddhist priests of Chongdao Palace can do.

It's just that Mu Yue, an ordinary citizen, an ordinary high school student, doesn't have any power to participate in such a thing.

However, he didn't go far before a shockwave was heard behind him again with the sound of an explosion.

Mu Yue, who was hit, hugged Mengzhu and protected him in front of him, and then the two of them were knocked into the lawn on the side of the road together, rolling several times before stopping.

The hot pain in her back made Mu Yue gasp.

"Tsuki-chan! Tsuki-chan, are you okay Tsuki-chan!? ”

Mengzhu got up in a panic and sat on the lawn, looking at the blood stains that slowly appeared under Mu Yue's clothes behind him, and his face turned pale with fright.

"No, it's okay......"

Raising the corners of her lips with difficulty and laughing, Mu Yue endured the pain and got up.

Turning his head to look at the battlefield, Gong Xingyun had already fought with a pair of evil spirits that looked like ancient armies.

The scattered sword light, the surging spiritual power, and the constant explosions and roars made Mu Yue unable to correctly grasp the current battle situation.

[Sure enough...... It's not something that ordinary people like us can participate in......]

◇

Gong Xingyun, who was surrounded by a hundred Praetorian Guard legions, had already fallen into a bitter battle.

Gong Xingyun, who had not been dripping for a day and a night, was now involved in a fierce battle, and the strength of every swing of the sword was weakening.

“…… No, something is going to happen if it goes on like this! ”

Clenching his teeth, Gong Xingyun repelled a certain evil spirit soldier who pounced on him with a sword, and then took out a handful of talismans from his satchel and threw it out.

The talismans were connected to each other by beams of light in mid-air, forming a large net that temporarily trapped some of the evil spirit soldiers, and Gong Xingyun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this.

The Dao Monarchs of the local branch had no problem fighting these soldiers one-on-one, but these Praetorian Guards who had awakened from the ground still retained their fighting style.

The individual strength of the Dao Monarch was strong, but the group confrontation was obviously unable to defeat these armies blessed by the spirit veins and the Yang Emperor evil spirits, and the explosions caused by each of their salvos could catch up with the large-scale Dao art bombardment.

Coupled with the disadvantage in numbers, Gong Xingyun had no choice but to lure the evil spirit of Emperor Yang away in order to ensure the safety of those people in the branch.

With the aura emanating from Emperor Qijian's body, he successfully lured Emperor Yang out of Caozhuang, but he also put himself in a predicament.

[In any case, Emperor Yang can't be allowed to get the Emperor Qi Sword! ] 】

Gong Xingyun gritted his teeth, and after bursting out of his spiritual power again to repel the Praetorian Guard Legion, his eyes suddenly found Mu Yue and Zhu Mengzhu not far behind him.

“…… Is it them? ”

A momentary distraction allowed Emperor Yang's evil spirit to seize the opportunity.

Raising his hand, a dark purple miasma gushed out.

"Puff ——!"

Gong Xingyun's body that was hit was flying in the air, and he finally didn't hold the Emperor Qi Sword.

When Gong Xingyun fell to the ground, the Emperor Qi Sword landed right next to Mu Yue.

"This ......"

Looking at the Emperor Qi Sword inserted in the ground, Mu Yue was stunned.

[That feeling is ...... again]

My heart, as if I had been hit hard by something, was almost out of breath.

"Mu Yue! Let's go! ”

Gong Xingyun, who fell to the ground, couldn't help but shout when he saw Mu Yue and Mengzhu who were stunned.

The ghost sent the gods, and Mu Yue did not listen to Gong Xingyun's words.

Stretching out his hand, he gently grasped the hilt of the Emperor Qi Sword.

Buzz————————!!!!!!!!

The sound of the sword erupting resounded throughout the street.
