Chapter 68: Killstreak
The murderous aura of the filial maiden like frost and snow seeped into the air, and little by little, it poured towards the alternate virgins of the seven good goddesses.
It was as if they had turned into entities, and they were overwhelmed.
Knowing that they had encountered a strong enemy, the seven black-clothed girls each raised their swords, pinched the magic trick in their hands, spread out to each other, and surrounded the filial girl in the center.
"Senior sisters!" At this moment, another woman came in place of the sword, and she turned out to be Cheng Yasi.
"Senior sister!" A young girl whispered, "I don't know where this girl came from, she may be in the same group as Batboy, kill her first, and talk about other things later." ”
Cheng Yasi said: "Okay! ”
"Do it!" One of the girls whispered.
As soon as he finished speaking, blood splattered.
The sword in Cheng Yasi's hand pierced directly into the back of her heart.
At the moment when the other girls were stunned, the filial girl's double knives had already rolled in, the snow waves were surging, clanging, and a head flew up and swirled in the air. Screams, shouts. "Senior Sister Cheng, why are you ......" The voice stopped abruptly, and a hole suddenly opened in the ground, and she didn't go in, only a bloody light poured out from the crack in the ground that opened and closed suddenly.
The two girls each slashed their swords on themselves, and the moment the blood flew out, they were like fire men, and two swords with fire attacked the filial daughter at the same time. Brush brush, sword fire is dense into a net, even the filial daughter of the mandarin duck knife can't resist their attack at the moment. However, the filial daughters who had already known that they were only using the magic skills of self-destructing the true element, dodged with strange methods, their bodies were like ghosts, and their wrong steps were like flying.
The two burning girls couldn't catch up, panic gradually appeared in their eyes, and one of them suddenly stumbled, his body just shook, and his head was already flying into the air. Another girl screamed in anger, and a mandarin knife was inserted into her mouth, stirring it up, and this time only half of the head flew up.
And at this time, on the other side of the ground, earth and rocks suddenly rose, enveloping the body of another girl in black, and a man came out of the soil and stabbed her chest with a short spear.
In a very short period of time, only one of the seven girls in black had died. The last man held the sword and looked in disbelief at the three people who had surrounded her...... A filial girl with a mandarin duck knife, a young woman disguised as Cheng Yasi, and a man with a bloody short gun drilled out of the ground.
The black-clothed girl was holding a sword, her forehead was cold sweat, she suddenly gritted her teeth, and shouted: "The sky is clear, the earth is spiritual, and the holy phoenix is ......."
With two pops, the long sword pierced her left rib, and the short spear pierced her lower abdomen, and at the same time, the sound of a sharp blade cutting through bones sounded instantly, and a column of blood rushed out of the pink neck, and her head flew into the night sky.
The filial daughter who was originally in front of her had already arrived behind her, stepped forward with her right leg, and coldly put away the knife: "Huang, you, sister, ah!" ”
***
In the stone forest at the other end, the Tianhong Priest and the Phantom Moon Priest already knew that they had been tricked the moment they heard the screams from behind.
They were frozen there, neither advancing nor retreating.
Obviously, the Batboy borrowed their magic to break the magic circle that protected the seven maidens, and then brought them here in order to kill the alternate virgins of the seven good goddesses.
The Batboy also has companions, his companions, who are slaughtering the remaining virgins of the Good Goddess.
Rush back, I'm afraid it's too late, and I will miss the opportunity to kill the batboy in front of me.
Continue to chase and kill the bat boy, although they believe that with the strength of the two of them, they can solve him sooner or later, but this boy is slippery, this "sooner or later", how much time will it take, they don't count, and now, what has been determined is that this bat boy still has companions, so, how many companions are there? How strong is it?
They didn't know it at all, which made it impossible for them to continue their movements.
Two people, one left and one right, the priest of Tianhong was full of anger, and the priest of the phantom moon had a gloomy face, and the two of them looked at the boy standing on the rockery at the same time. This boy is really too strange, with their almost non-stop, breathless offensive, even if the strength is better than their grandmaster-level master, they will be overwhelmed, so that their internal strength will be exhausted, and their physical strength will be exhausted.
However, this boy didn't seem to even need to breathe, although he had been beaten, but as if he could absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, their continuous attacks showed no sign of weakening him at all.
The boy stood there, his hands behind his back, and the moonlight seemed to be attracted to him, spinning strangely around him, and then blooming in a circle.
"Your traps are hilarious!" The boy sighed twice, "Learn from me." ”
The two priests were silent, whether it was the all-halal people who had been working with them in secret with the monster last time when they had chased the boy and had been dealt with by him, or the self-righteous laying of the so-called triple trap this time, which had been reduced to a joke, it proved that intellectually, they were indeed no match for the boy.
Their so-called scheme, in front of this boy, only has a two-word comment that they have to admit...... Funny!
And just between their hesitation, the voices from the rear have stopped.
The night wind struck, swaying the arrows and bamboos in the distance, making a rustling sound, making the heat of this summer night dissipate a lot, but the feeling of the two at this moment was not the heat of the summer night, but still inexplicably cold, and this sudden cool breeze made them feel even colder.
The boy obviously knew that he had no chance of winning with one against two, so he sneered, turned over and jumped away, and disappeared into the arrow forest in the distance. Priest Tianhong and Priest Phantom Moon glanced at each other, but they didn't have the idea of chasing, turned around and hurried back. When they returned to the place where they had left, they saw seven female corpses lying on the ground.
Next to the female corpse, there was a straight line, six and a half heads, lined up and placed there.
The reason why it was six and a half was because one of them was forcibly pried open from the position of both jaws, and half of the head was still on her neck.
Next to the heads of six half-girls lined up in this character, there is a blue ghost fire, written in cursive script with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing: "You do the first year of junior high school, I do the fifteenth; Worship the fire demon girl, everyone will punish her! ”
The Heavenly Flood Priest and the Phantom Moon Priest were all silent, and with the death of these seven good goddess alternate virgins, the only thing they had a chance to become the good goddess was the Chun Ji Li, who was not devout to the Holy Phoenix and had even tried to betray them in secret, and the eldest princess Qimeng, who had successfully planted the holy blood, but had not yet joined Zoroastrianism.
To make matters worse, to welcome the goddess of goodness into the world, there need to be enough virgins with the blood of the Holy Phoenix in their bodies, and they are simply understaffed right now.
They looked at each other, and they were all silent, this time...... They really failed.
***
In the courtyard of the house by the Dye River, Ning Jiang picked up the Shu note, and circled a few names with a cinnabar pen on the Shu note, and after he pondered for a while, he suddenly crossed out several other names, leaving only the last one.
Immediately after, there was a sneer...... The big fish was found.
On the other side, with the help of Qin Wuyan, my sister also lifted her disguise, washed herself fragrantly, changed back to her original appearance, came behind her brother, poked her head, and looked at the Shu note in her brother's hand curiously.
The hair that was stained with water after bathing fell on Ning Jiang's neck, making Ning Jiang feel itchy.
"Master, girl!" Qin Wuyan, who was still wearing Cheng Yasi's human skin mask, came in with two bowls of mung bean soup to relieve the heat on a wooden plate.
Xiaomeng sat aside, drinking mung bean soup, and after Qin Wuyan withdrew, he tilted his head and looked at his brother: "Brother, is there still that kind of stand-in puppet?" Little Dream also wants one. ”
"I can't use it for you," Ning Jiang continued to look at Shu Jian, "At least you need to practice the fire soul, and you also need to cooperate with some other spells, and it won't be more powerful than you in the future, what are you going to do with it?" ”
"It's fun!"
"It's funny, you're big!" Ning Jiang replied angrily.
Speaking of which, in the previous life, he had a doll that was exactly the same as his sister...... It's actually quite fun.
Xiaomeng said: "Brother, what are we going to do next?" ”
Ning Jiang said: "The Zoroastrians are so anxious to absorb new blood, it should be some kind of ritual for them, and they need to use enough, virgins like Chun Jianli, Situ Lei, and Fang Wanqing. Just look at what they did to your eldest princess sister, this way of absorbing new blood can't be achieved overnight. Now, those virgins have almost been killed by me, and their rituals are destined to be unfinished. But just in case, early tomorrow morning, you still go to the eldest princess's mansion, protect her, and replace the little girl back casually and let her rest. ”
Xiaomeng said: "Tomorrow is the day of the list." She said with a grin: "When my brother is named on the gold list, you can marry the eldest princess and sister." ”
"No," Ning Jiang smiled, "I'm going to take her away." ”
Regardless, the Zoroastrians have set their sights on Qimeng, and it is always unsafe for her to stay in the capital. And once the barbarians invade, I'm afraid the capital will eventually fall. In that case, it's better to take Qimeng away as soon as possible.
He stretched and went to the bed to lie down: "I'll go to bed first, and I'll have something to do tomorrow morning." ”
Xiaomeng said: "Oh~~"

The sky was a little gray and bright, and the Privy Council member and Tai had already gotten up early.
Although he has a real official position in the court, Hetai is a eunuch.
Once upon a time, the Privy Council was also glorious, more than 400 years ago, at that time, the imperial court had not yet cut the feudal domain, and the Privy Council was also controlled by military people. Mastering the Privy Council is equivalent to mastering military power.
At that time, the military system was not as serious as it is now, and there was a serious division of powers. The military men who have mastered the Privy Council, once they collude with the local soldiers and horses, it is very easy to form a situation where the tail is too big to fall, and in history, there have even been cases where the prime minister concurrently serves as the envoy of the Privy Council and sets aside the imperial power.
It's just that at that time, the Quartet vassal kings were still there, and the imperial court was concentrated in military power, and there was no way to maintain the deterrent power that could strike at the vassal kings at any time.
Subsequently, relying on the stronger and growing literary atmosphere, the imperial court finally succeeded in cutting the feudal domain, so the reform of the military system was imperative. The Privy Council abolished the important position of "Privy Council Envoy", the authority was weakened to the extreme, and the number of people was very scarce, and at the same time, the official positions such as the Privy Council were no longer held by military officers, nor were they handed over to Confucian officials, but by a third kind of people other than military generals and Confucian officials...... Eunuch served.
The so-called eunuchs are naturally eunuchs.
If it is said that the Great Zhou Dynasty has always emphasized literature over military force, then it is even more contemptuous of eunuchs to the extreme.
The Privy Council, which was held by eunuchs, was almost incapable of participating in any military affairs, and was nominally the highest military institution, and its actual status was long dispensable.
Despite this, the Privy Council of the Great Zhou Dynasty still holds an important function...... The right to send troops.
This so-called "right to send troops" is actually more of the nature of a rubber stamp, and the transfer of troops and horses decided by the court is issued to the Privy Council, and the Privy Council actually has no right to intervene at all as to why it is transferred, what the purpose is, and so on. Compared with the previous Privy Councillors, who could almost be regarded as the supreme commanders of the military, the Privy Council, which is now held by eunuchs, has only a symbolic meaning like going through the motions. And the reason why such a scene is still needed is just to separate the power to send troops from the right to command and use the military department, once someone wants to rebel, the Son of Heaven can control the movement of troops and horses throughout the country by controlling the Privy Council.
Although in the court, it is just a privy council that is completely unable to make a sound, dispensable, and has never been regarded as a thing, but Hetai still needs to go to the court.
Because of this, as soon as the sky dawned, he got into a sedan chair early, and under the protection of several guards, left his mansion and went to the imperial city.
When I went out, the sky was only gray and bright, but on a summer morning, this light soon spread out. When the sedan chair boarded the Changjin Bridge leading to the imperial city, the rising sun slowly rose in the lower reaches of the Huijin River, and the orange-red glow spread out and spread to both sides of the Changjin River.
The four-lifted sedan chair stopped on the bridge.
He Tai, who originally wanted to ask why he hadn't left outside, didn't make a sound.
Because he had already felt the murderous aura that was coming to him like a thousand-year-old ice.
With a wave of suspicion in his heart, he lifted the curtain and saw the ...... in front of them, with his back to them Boy dressed in black.
The rays of the rising sun spread from the side of the boy, and the boy put his hands behind his back, as if bathed in the vigorous morning light. However, the cold ice that came from the ground made everyone who looked at the boy feel a chill, as if all the warmth under the rising sun had been strangely sucked away by the boy, leaving others with only cold...... The cold that can't be resisted.
Slowly turning his head, he looked at the Privy Councillor and Tai, the boy's face, and showed a weird, mocking smile: "Found you...... Heaven, Flood, Priest, Priest!! ”
