Volume 3: The Storm Rises Chapter 578: To Each His Own Calculation
Lan Tianye and Shui Changdong's eyes looked at Lu Yao, and everyone's eyes turned to Lu Yao, although many people didn't know who this young man was and what supported him all the way here, but they looked at Lu Yao at this time as if they were looking at a dead person, just because anyone who was looked at by Lan Tianye and Shui Changdong with this kind of eyes was destined to become the next cannon fodder.
Everyone looked at Lu Yao, Lu Yao's whereabouts were no longer hidden, and naturally he looked at everyone's eyes brightly, in the crowd, he saw Huo Tingting and Youlan, saw Tan Tao, saw Lan Jing, and to his surprise, he also saw the Holy Master. However, the strangest thing was that the Holy Master at this time stood there and looked at him without any expression in his eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger.
"Young man, yes, you can follow all the way here!" Since Shui Changdong had already guessed Lu Yao's identity, he had a strong smell of gunpowder when he spoke.
"What you said is not right, I came here step by step with my own wisdom, why not follow?" Lu Yao also replied unceremoniously.
Lu Yao has always been referred to as "you" to his elders, but in the face of Shui Changdong, he really didn't want to use that respectful word on him, so he used a very unkind word "you". Shui Changdong is not a fool, how could he not hear the disrespect in his words, it's just that, in his eyes, Lu Yao at this time is almost like a dead man, and he is not willing to surrender his identity and care so much about a dead person.
"You. Come here, find a way to open this door! Shui Changdong coldly pointed at Lu Yao and said, that commanding attitude made people feel very uncomfortable.
However, this person only refers to a very small number of people, and more people are still very gloating when they hear Shui Changdong say this, all the way, they entered Tianmen Pass, found the Five Elements Bridge, and saw that the baby was about to arrive, but such a ghost thing came out. This ghost thing may be the Hades Tower in that secret saying.
In order to enter the Hades Tower, several people have died, and all the people who were named by Shui Changdong and Lan Tianye were coerced to try to open the door of the Hades Tower under various names, and every one of these people in the current position was able to survive, without exception, they were burned alive by the burning arm.
The Longzhong Twin Eagles just now are two of those unlucky ghosts, they were forced to approach the Hades Tower with their families as a threat, and were burned alive, and everyone was still speculating about who the next unlucky person would be, and some people who had already retreated also quietly retreated to the back of the crowd.
But now Shui Changdong actually named Lu Yao, and those people quietly surrounded him again, and the retreat they had already had was gone, they were like ducks who had been choked by the neck, tiptoeing, holding their heads high, stretching their necks and leaning forward, as if Lu Yao would definitely be able to open the door to enter the Hades Tower, and the baby was about to come true, and it was easy to get it.
Shui Changdong's tone was very unkind, Lu Yao instinctively wanted to refuse, but his reason told him that he couldn't. Lu Yao knew that he was not Shui Changdong's opponent, and he couldn't get in touch with him now, and the Phantom Dragon Pill was also taken by himself, if he clashed head-on with the other party at this time, he would definitely die a miserable death.
So, he could only grit his teeth and walk slowly towards the Hades Tower.
"Wait!" Suddenly, someone said loudly: "Shui Lao, this young man and I are old friends, and I hope you will let him go this time in my face, how about it?" ”
Lu Yao didn't have to look back to know that the person who spoke for him was Tan Tao, the punisher who had protected the Dharma for himself in Tianlong Peak, the main peak of Panlong Mountain, and opened up the second vein of Ren Du, when he heard this, he stopped, and his heart was slowly grateful, but it was also accompanied by a trace of worry, he didn't know if Tan Tao's strength could rival Shui Changdong, in case the enemy couldn't be defeated, and the two clashed, wouldn't it be a dead end.
"Oh?" Shui Changdong looked a little surprised, and asked rhetorically: "This young man is so young, how can he be friends with Venerable Tan, Venerable Tan doesn't want to be enemies of my Shui family, oh, and the Lan family, right?" ”
"Don't dare, Shui Lao's words are serious, you listen to my explanation." Tan Tao walked to Lu Yao's side and said to Shui Changdong: "This young man has a similar temperament and temperament to me, and he can talk about it, so he got married." ”
"Of course, there is another point that I think Shui Lao should know, he has just arrived here not long ago, and he doesn't know what the situation is in front of him, so let him go up at this time, wouldn't it be in vain to die." Tan Tao continued: "It's better to let him watch it for a while, and it's not too late to try again after he understands the situation, what do you say?" ”
Tan Tao seems to have been very polite, and he didn't intend to directly turn his face with Shui Changdong and Lan Tianye, but the position he chose was still very particular, he was standing in the middle of Lu Yao and Shui Changdong at this time, and this position perfectly blocked the best way for Shui Changdong to do it.
"Shui Lao, what I heard Venerable Tan said is very reasonable, why don't you let others try it first, if it really doesn't work, then let this kid go, what do you say?" The holy master, who has always been a cold bystander without joy or sorrow, is also rare at this time to stand up for Tan Tao and speak for Lu Yao.
Shui Changdong was very unhappy that the two of them were talking for Lu Yao, but it was not good to attack directly, he couldn't waste his strength before the last moment and make enemies on all sides. However, he said it again, and it would be very shameless to let him take it back now, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.
"Since Venerable Tan and Mr. Yun Ran have both spoken for him, then do what you want, and send someone else to try it once." Lan Tianye and Shui Changdong have been friends for many years, so he naturally knows the key, he stood up to resolve the embarrassment and said: "However, we have a word first, if we fail this time, it must be him next time, what do you say?" ”
Lan Tianye's words were very tactful, not only giving Tan Tao and the Holy Master face, but also resolving Shui Changdong's embarrassment, and the last sentence showed their strength, which seemed to be telling everyone that now only he Lan Tianye and Shui Changdong have the final say, and no one else can go against their will.
"Thank you Lan Lao, just do what Lan Lao said!" The Holy Master was the first to stand up and speak.
Although this ending is not the best ending, it is at least stronger than the previous one, Tan Tao is not good at disobeying the will of Lan Tianye and Shui Changdong, so he had to nod, pulled Lu Yao back two steps, and said: "Just do what Lan Lao wants!" ”
Several people have already discussed the results, and those who had just come together to watch the excitement have faded back, and their ugly and cunning faces are undoubtedly revealed. However, even this will not change their fate. Two more unlucky eggs were named by Shui Changdong, and slowly approached the Hades Tower with extreme reluctance.
Lu Yao cast a grateful look at Tan Tao, thanking him for helping him several times, as for the Holy Master, Lu Yao also ignored it, he had already guessed the Holy Master's intention to do this.
The holy master knows that Lu Yao has a blood cry tree on his body, and that thing is likely to be the key to unlocking the secret of the Hades Tower, and now the number of people in front of the Five Elements Bridge is still too much in his opinion, in case Lu Yao really solves the mystery of the Hades Tower, and destroys the monster with the arm that is burning with flames, and then falls into a scuffle, he is not absolutely sure that he will be able to win the heavy treasure, so he wants to use Shui Changdong's hand to continue to consume some people and increase his grasp of the heavy treasure.
Seeing that not only Tan Tao interceded for Lu Yao, but even the Holy Master (Yun Ran) and Lan Tianye also meant this, he couldn't insist anymore, a smile of indifference appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned around and pointed twice in the crowd, letting the two people he ordered close to the Hades Tower.
As soon as the two of them saw that Shui Changdong had pointed to themselves, their hearts suddenly fell to ashes, one of them walked towards the Hades Tower with trembling legs, and the other ran away, without the arrogant demeanor of an immortal cultivator at all, in order to escape, he could give up everything.
It's just that he wants to escape, but he may not be able to escape, Shui Changdong saw the direction he was running, his eyes were full of killing intent, and with a wave of his hand, the person's head and body were separated, maybe because he ran fast, or maybe Shui Changdong's shot speed was too fast, in short, when his head rolled to the ground, his body was still running desperately forward, and he ran another forty or fifty meters before he pounced and planted it.
No one dared to say anything about Shui Changdong's strength, and even the vast majority of people didn't dare to have even a trace of resentment in their hearts, they were afraid that the other party's anger would spread to themselves.
Although Lu Yao didn't say anything, he was very dissatisfied with Shui Changdong's approach, there is only one life, and it is worthy of everyone's awe, but in Shui Changdong's eyes, other people's lives are like grass mustard, and they can be killed if they want to. However, Lu Yao was more surprised by Shui Changdong's strength.
The moment he shot just now, Lu Yao also didn't react, except for seeing Shui Changdong's arm move, he didn't even see how Shui Changdong killed people. It can be seen that with his current strength, he will be killed in seconds before he can even make a move under the opponent's hands. This also makes him have to be more cautious about the unforeseen things that follow.
Shui Changdong nodded the two of them close to the Hades Tower, one escaped and was killed by him, and the other approached the Hades Tower little by little with fear and despair, Lu Yao was a little far away before, and he didn't see it very clearly, this time he was almost standing in the front, that person passed in front of him, and he saw it clearly from beginning to end.
