Chapter 25: The Guide I

As he said, Zhang Liang supported the weak Mulan to stand quietly on the ground, not fleeing, not attacking, not anxious, just calmly waiting for Arthur and their army to come.

In the night sky, the clouds and mist gather and disperse, scatter and gather; On the road, the moonlight is faint and bright, bright and hidden.

And Zhang Liang always stood still without any movement, a pair of eyes that were not bright open in the hazy moonlit night, I don't know where to look. If you look closely, you will find that Zhang Liang is not actually standing on the ground, he is still levitating, but the distance between his feet and the ground is very close.

Arthur, who was seriously injured, was still half-crouching on the ground, but his eyes were always fixed on Zhang Liang, who was standing quietly under the moonlit night. He really couldn't figure out why Zhang Liang didn't try to break through them or escape with Mulan, but just stood still, quietly waiting for their patrol army to come back.

Although the patrol army is all ordinary soldiers, for a high-level powerhouse like them, the combat power is limited, but there are many people, just ask tens of thousands of soldiers gathered over, even if they can't effectively kill and injure Zhang Liang and them, but it is more than enough to completely surround them to death with a numerical advantage...... What's more, they still have three hero-level powerhouses here, although they are all injured somewhat, but it is not difficult to defeat Zhang Liang when they work together.

But, why? What exactly is Zhang Liang's self-confidence? Or rather, what exactly does he want to do?

This question was not only in Arthur's minds, but also in the hearts of Zhong Wuyan and Daji, but, as if they were extremely confused in their hearts, but in this stalemate that fell into silence, no one made a move, let alone attacked.

In fact, it is easy to see on the bright side that Zhang Liang is just a demon mage, and he should not be good at hand-to-hand combat with swords and swords, if they force an attack, Zhang Liang will definitely not be able to resist, but none of them will make a move. Both Arthur and Zhong Wuyan were a little jealous of Zhang Liang, and this jealousy came from Zhang Liang's sudden appearance in the battle.

In fact, from Zhang Liang's calmness and calmness when he appeared, it could be judged that he did not suddenly appear at the back gate of this mausoleum by some means, but it was not until the moment when he reached out to hold the fallen Hua Mulan that they discovered Zhang Liang's existence!

There is no doubt that Zhang Liang completely suppressed his breath and magic blue energy and then came silently, and he was able to completely suppress his breath and magic blue energy, they had never heard of this kind of person!

Completely suppressing the breath and the magic blue, this kind of thing sounds simple but is actually extremely difficult, it is just theoretically feasible, and in fact, unless the comprehension of one's own breath and the magic blue has reached a transcendent state, it is absolutely impossible!

It is true that no one knows whether or how strong a person who has comprehended his aura and magic blue to the extreme is strong, but neither Arthur nor Zhong Wuyan dare to take risks easily at this moment.

But Daji on the other side didn't think about it so much, she just stayed quietly in place, staring at Zhang Liang's deep eyes through the misty night, in fact, she couldn't see Zhang Liang's eyes clearly, and she couldn't even see Zhang Liang's pupils clearly.

However, when she stared at Zhang Liang's eyes with her eyes, she deeply felt a familiar and unfamiliar sense of profundity, and she couldn't see the bottom at a glance, but she felt that she was seen through by him at a glance. And it was in this strange and deep gaze that Daji couldn't help but feel a jealousy from the depths of her soul, so that she didn't dare to act rashly.

As a result, everyone present fell into a kind of silent stalemate without doing anything, and after a long time.

Suddenly, a cacophony of voices sounded in the silence, and a bright light of fire flickered in the darkness of the nightโ€”the patrolling troops, scattered all over the city, rushed over, and quickly gathered back to the back gate of the city, as the generals had told them.

A large number of soldiers came in an orderly manner from the surrounding streets, among which the soldiers who walked in the front looked into the distance, and saw the strange stalemate at the back gate at a glance - the former general Arthur was wounded on the ground, the rear general Zhong Wuyan stopped on the side, the beautiful girl Daji who had never been seen before stood in one place, and the man closest to them was holding an unconscious woman with her back to them and standing quietly.

Seeing this strange situation, the soldiers walking in front subconsciously stopped, the advance of the army gradually stopped, and the soldiers behind were blocked, and while shouting, they desperately handed their eyes to the back city gate, trying to see what was going on.

"What are you guys doing!" Seeing the sluggish behavior of the soldiers, Zhong Wuyan couldn't help but reprimand angrily, "They are enemies who resist the national prestige and imperial power, don't hurry up and surround them!" You guys are stupid and don't want to live! โ€

"Yes!" Hearing Zhong Wuyan's roaring rebuke, all the soldiers couldn't help but shudder, and immediately dispersed to surround Zhang Liang and Mulan, the patrol army was numerous, and a large number of soldiers quickly stepped on, drew their swords and went straight forward, and in an instant, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan were surrounded at the back city gate, except for the place where Arthur and the three stood, the rest of the place was surrounded by the soldiers.

Seeing a group of soldiers surrounding him, Zhang Liang still hung in place with a calm face, without any reaction, as if he was waiting for the other side to act first.

"Humph! You're still calm when it's all over this? Just pretend to be grandchildren! When Zhong Wuyan saw Zhang Liang's calm face, he was angry and immediately reprimanded, "Give it all to me!" Take him down! โ€

Hearing Zhong Wuyan's order, who of the soldiers dared not obey, although the person in front of him looked a little mysterious, but the soldiers did not dare to slack off when they thought of Zhong Wuyan's stone refining hammer that collapsed into the mountains, and immediately mustered up bear guts and forced Zhang Liang who was surrounded in the middle with a knife.

At this moment, Zhang Liang suddenly moved.

Zhang Liang turned over with his left hand and gently threw up the ancient book of words and spirits in his hand.

A strange thing happened, the ancient book of words and spirits that was thrown up by Zhang Liang with one hand did not fall, but seemed to have a mysterious magic power at this moment, and it was suspended in front of Zhang Liang.

Seeing Zhang Liang's sudden move, whether it was the soldiers, Arthur, and Zhong Wuyan, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, especially when they saw that the heavy ancient book was actually floating in the air, the soldiers were even more shocked, and the pace that was pressing towards Zhang Liang was not naturally stagnant.

However, Zhang Liang did not hesitate because of their reactions, and the movements in his hands proceeded smoothly - Zhang Liang turned sideways slightly, pushed forward with his left hand, and gently pushed on the ancient book of words and spirits floating in front of him. At the moment when his left hand touched the surface of the ancient book, a steady stream of magic blue energy overflowed from his left palm, all flowing into the ancient spirit book, faintly brewing.

"Words and Spirits, Manipulation" A moment of light suddenly flashed in Zhang Liang's calm eyes, and then, the magic blue energy brewing in the Ancient Book of Words and Spirits exploded at this moment. A tremor appeared out of thin air in the book, shaking the heavy ancient book open, the title page flipped over, the text of the book opened instantly, and the ancient book of words and spirits seemed to be summoned by some kind of mystery, and turned the page 904 - the middle page by itself. And then the words on the page suddenly flashed with fire-colored brilliance, and what was even more strange was that the mysterious words and spirits seemed to come to life, one by one out of the shackles of the page, floating out, and then gathered in front of the opened ancient book, the words turned, fluorescent fusion, and the mysterious power of the words broke out at this moment - a mysterious beam of light that was pulled by the words and words, and the fire-colored light condensed suddenly shot out from the page.

The fire-colored beams of light bound to the words pierced through the frost of the moonlight, through the misty night, through the gaps of the soldiers crowded around Zhang Liang, and then shot straight at Daji, who was standing defenseless in the distance.

Daji had been immersed in the inexplicable coercion in Zhang Liang's gaze, and when the beam of words and spirits hit her, she was not on guard at all. A huge amount of fire-colored energy instantly poured into her body, invading her entire nervous system in an instant, blocking her whole body's perception, and controlling all her consciousness strongly.

In an instant, Zhang Liang took a strong control of Daji regardless of everything outside his body!

Astound! Whether it was Arthur, Zhong Wuyan or the thousands of soldiers on the field, there was only shock in their eyes. They watched, Daji was still standing still, but the mysterious beam of words and spirits was like a god-like shackle that firmly locked her body and soul, and there was no trace of expression in her beautiful big eyes that were still open.

"What are you guys doing? Don't take him down yet! Seeing this scene, Zhong Wuyan immediately shouted.

"Don't move!" Zhang Liang, who had taken strong control of Daji, suddenly said in a deep voice, "Don't move anyone, now her life is in my hands." โ€

Zhang Liang's voice was silent, but his tone was very resolute, so that all the soldiers present did not dare to act rashly.

I saw that Zhang Liang himself was also standing still in place, stretching out his left hand, and the ancient book of words and spirits suspended in front of his hand was continuously shooting out a beam of words and spirits, and the other end of the beam was Daji, who was being controlled by death.

At this moment, that dazzling beam of speech and spirit was like a mysterious bridge connecting Zhang Liang and Daji tightly, and no one could move. But the difference is that Daji, who is at the end of the Spirit Beam, is suffering from the magic damage of the Spirit Beam invading her body.

The damage is not ferocious and brutal, but it continues to work, so that with each additional second, Daji will be hurt more heavily, and given time, Daji will be hit hard. So Zhang Liang didn't joke, now Daji's life is indeed in his hands.

"What do you want to do?" Arthur looked at Zhang Liang with a serious face, and now he suddenly realized that Zhang Liang was really prepared, he didn't plan to confront them head-on at all, but to use his unique strength to grab the hostages and coerce them.

"I'm going to take Lan Lan out of here." Zhang Liang said this sentence again. That's right, as Arthur thought, he had indeed made a plan for a long time, and every second he stood still under the moonlight, every second of his silence, he was thinking about the strategy against the enemy and even the possible changes in the situation.

And he had already decided to instantly control Daji as a hostage, ostensibly because Daji was the most vulnerable of them and had more weight, so he could coerce them. But there is a more important reason that Zhang Liang found the inexplicable fear that Daji had when facing him, although he didn't know what was going on, but this was obviously an advantage that could be used by him!

Arthur didn't speak, Zhong Wuyan didn't speak, Zhang Liang's request was what they expected, and they couldn't agree, but they couldn't refuse, because Daji was still under his control, so no one could speak.

"All the soldiers in the city are here now, right?" Seeing that the other side did not speak, Zhang Liang continued.

"Tell them to get out of the way, let me and Mulan get out of here, and don't send anyone after us before dawn - that's my condition, if you can promise me, I'll let her go."

Zhang Liang said his last words with his eyes on Arthur, apparently negotiating with someone he thought was the most credible person here.

That's right, Zhang Liang and all the other soldiers gathered back to the back gate in order to coerce all of them at the same time, otherwise even if they left here by coercion before, they would inevitably be blocked by soldiers who didn't know the situation on the way. Although they can't stop it, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble to Zhang Liang.

At the same time, Zhang Liang also considered the enemy's request for him, and he did not say that they were not allowed to chase him, but that he was not allowed to chase him before dawn, thus leaving room for both sides to retreat.

Zhang Liang knew very well that it was difficult to directly coerce the other party to let them go, and he had no time to negotiate slowly, and the longer the time was delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for him and Mulan. After all, this is the other party's position, and Mulan is seriously injured, so Zhang Liang must not delay any longer, but directly put forward this compromise condition - he believes that the other party will agree to his condition.

"Well, I promise you! No one will be sent to hunt you down before dawn, and now, please let Daji go. Arthur looked at Zhang Liang squarely and promised with a serious face. Although Zhong Wuyan, who was standing on the side, was angry, he couldn't say anything, after all, Daji couldn't help it.

Hearing Arthur's promise, Zhang Liang didn't say anything more, but flicked his left hand, disconnecting from the energy connection with the ancient book of words and spirits. Along with it, the mysterious spirit beam suddenly fell in the middle, and the ancient book also closed gloomily, and then in an instant, it seemed to have lost all its magic power, and it could no longer be suspended, but fell into Zhang Liang's hands.

On the other side, after the spirit beam disappeared, the powerful control that Daji had received also disappeared in an instant, and after breaking away from the lock of his body and soul, Daji just groaned softly and fell to the ground.

Seeing that Zhang Liang finally released control, Zhong Wuyan immediately became angry, and was ready to rush up desperately to fight back, but Arthur stopped her and shouted to the soldiers: "Everyone back away, let them go." โ€

Hearing Arthur's order, a large number of soldiers immediately retreated like a tide, making way for Zhang Liang and Mulan.

"Thank you." Zhang Liang looked at Arthur squarely and expressed his respect for his promise.

Then, Zhang Liang picked up the unconscious Mulan, stepped on the void, levitated, and then, the swift boots on his feet suddenly gave birth to a shallow wind, and stepping on the wind, Zhang Liang took Mulan and flew quickly towards the city.
