Chapter 2: The Devil's Scheme
Two days is enough time to prepare.
Blades, black armor, dark arrows, ghost talismans.
According to Zhaoran's plan, he was the only one who went to assassinate the Demon Realm General.
All these things are ready, Zhao Ran exhaled slightly, and sat on the chair next to the table, the mirror on the table reflected his side face, although he was wearing a mask, he could also see that the face under the mask should be small and delicate. Zhao Ran looked at his face in the mirror, the face covered by half of the ghost mask, unconsciously raised his hand, and his slender fingers touched the cold mask, and for a moment it seemed to open his memory, and the memories were surging, but his eyes were as indifferent as a distraction.
When you put on this mask with a blood spell, you are no longer yourself.
A wry smile was raised. I don't know what kind of expression Mo Yan will have when he sees the military report sent back by Mo Yu in the palace at this time.
It's still a little exciting to think about.
Before dawn the next day, Zhaoran turned over and got on the horse, ready to quietly go on the road alone, Mo Yu was out of the general's camp tent at this time, raised his eyes and saw Zhaoran prancing horse, and was a little stunned for a while.
Clearly hooked lips.
"Brother Moyu, don't disappoint me."
With that, he whipped away from the dust, and only the sound of the eagle's cry was left in his ears.
At this sound, Mo Yu was a little flustered. I don't know if it's the fear of losing, or the slight fear because this person is so much like a big brother.
Sueyu settled down. One look at the sky, it's time to get ready for action.
Zhao Ran followed the route given by the spies, all the way like riding a horse on the altar, the road was not very close, and it would take too much physical strength and different methods to use ghost steps or light exercises, on the way, there was not much abnormality, but there were still four or five miles away from the altar, but there were no small animals such as frightened birds around.
Such a deep forest, but not alarmed?
Smirked.
It seems that he guessed correctly. Getting closer and closer to the altar, the surrounding demonic qi is becoming more and more obvious, judging from the aura of demonic qi, there are more than a few generals and lieutenants who come.
I really look up to me, most of the people in the barracks have moved over. Zhao Ran smiled bitterly. I'm afraid it's hard to leave this time.
Almost. Apparently stopped his horse. Pulling out a ghost talisman, the ghost fire at his fingertips ignited, and more than a hundred hideous ghost soldiers appeared behind him.
"I didn't expect General Zhaoran to come alone."
Walking forward, the demonic aura became more and more intense, and on the so-called altar not far away, the demon general's soul was killed with wine and meat, a one-person banquet, accompanied by beautiful women, just waiting for him.
"Why, to deal with you, I am obviously alone, it is enough."
Zhao Ran hooked his lips contemptuously, pulled out the double blades on his waist, put the handle of the knife together, and twisted it slightly, it was a magic bow, his fingertips lightly rested on the string, Zhao Ran suddenly used his strength to tighten the bow, but the arrow did not shoot out for a long time.
He must be not the only one around, the demon army is nearby, and he will not move without his soul killing order, and he understands in his heart that he does not want to make trouble and cannot get out, after all, he is just here to delay time for Mo Yu, so that Mo Yu can take the old nest of the demon army.
"General Ben thought you would come with men." Soul Killer took the wine glass handed over by the beauty, drank it all in one gulp, and made a neck-cutting gesture with his hand on his neck. "Come and kill me."
"Huh."
Zhao Ran jumped up in black clothes, stood on the back of the horse, and suddenly let go of the bow that was being drawn, and an arrow with blue flames broke through the air, pointing directly at the head of the soul killer.
Soul Slayer frowned, only tilted his head, and dodged.
"If you don't want to talk well, it's a toast and you don't eat and drink." With a gesture of soul killing, the surrounding demon army rushed out after a short time, blocking in front of soul killing.
Standing on horseback, Zhao Ran still had contempt at the corners of his mouth.
"Your wine doesn't taste good."
Zhao Ran flipped the bow over, the bow turned into a double knife again, and the ghost soldiers behind him couldn't hold back their anger, Zhao Ran bowed slightly, jumped down, and slashed all the way with the ghost soldiers.
The blue flame and black qi were intertwined, and the soul kill stood on the altar in the distance, looking at it coldly.
The obvious insult to his dignity is going to be retrieved today.
And the soul kill didn't know that it was all in the eyes of the other person.
Just high up not far from this battlefield, someone dressed in white watched this scene quietly.
When Zhao Ran came, he felt that among these miscellaneous demonic qi, there was such a clear immortal qi, that is, immortal qi, so he didn't care too much, after all, the most important thing now was how to get out. Zhao Ran, who was still fighting in the formation, in addition to summoning a fatal battle to kill the surrounding demon soldiers, was also calculating the time, calculating the time it would take to get here after the last feather attack occupied the demon army camp.
The demon army camp is easy to defend and difficult to attack, he knows it, so he can only delay as much time as possible. Zhaoran turned over and dodged a dark arrow, turned his head to look, and it was indeed a soul kill.
But the expression of the soul killer is not very good-looking.
There was more than one arrow just shot.
"......Did you just find out?" The white-clothed man in the shadows knew that he had exposed his figure, so he had to find another place to hide.
Zhao Ran fought for too long at this time, he was a little tired, and his mental strength was not enough to support the ghost soldiers for too long, and after a while, the ghost soldiers disappeared one by one.
It's really a little unwilling.
Zhaoran's black clothes were stained with blood, and he couldn't tell where there were injuries, and some places were torn, so that he could see the cuts on the white skin under the black clothes, and the blood was constantly flowing downward, and the soul killer was still proudly shooting dark arrows on the altar, and Zhaoran had to be distracted to avoid those dark arrows.
The indifferent face of the man in white was a little unbearable.
One person, 10,000 people.
Another arrow. Zhao Ran didn't dodge the arrow, and the sharp arrow hit Zhao Ran's left shoulder, which made Soul Slayer put down his bow even more proudly.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ran sacrificed blood to the knife with injuries, and the ghost stepped in front of the soul killing.
Blood sacrifice, only, can be performed when people in the ghost world are seriously injured, and the loss is extremely great.
The soul killing was held by the knife on the neck for a while, and he didn't dare to make a sound, and the fight under the altar suddenly stopped.
"Obviously, your strength will run out, even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape."
"Huh," still sneered contemptuously. "General Ben, I never thought of going back alive......"
The force on the knife was just about to increase, and the sharp pain from behind made Zhao Ran let go for a while.
Before the soul kill could react, Zhao Ran had another knife in the back, and he would turn around after enduring the severe pain, he guessed it.
It's the spy. has such courage to infiltrate the enemy camp alone to set up a game, and make up a story like this without changing his face makes him believe that he is indeed not an ordinary person. At this time, this spy had cold eyes and no emotion.
There were countless knife wounds on his body, and the blood kept flowing, and there was no blood on Zhaoran's face, and the blood contract began to backlash, even if he looked at the soul killer and raised the knife with a hideous face, he was powerless to resist, and his body became heavier and heavier.
The soul killing knife was about to be cut down, but suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the knife was suddenly cut off by something. Soul Slayer looked at the section and the green leaves embedded in the stone pillar next to him, and felt fear for a moment.
The spy was still speechless, this gust of wind blew up the sand and dust, blinded everyone's eyes, like a fog and couldn't get out, the soul kill hurriedly looked at the Zhao Ran under his feet before, and the person was gone.
"This, what about people? What are you all doing, get me back! "The soul is so angry that he almost took the broken blade and cut off the head of the lieutenant.
But the spy spoke.
"No need to chase, soul kill."
"But...... Be...... His Highness ...... "Soul Killing had to be stopped." But this smoke and dust is so thick that ordinary demons can't break this array.
The man called His Highness gathered black qi in his hand, swallowing the smoke and dust like a whirlpool, and after a while, he came to his senses.
"Let's go, withdraw the troops, and return to the Demon Realm."
At this time, Mo Yu led people to kill him, and the demon army returned defeated, but the ghost general disappeared without a trace.
At this time, the Xiyue Palace in the Nine Heavens.
There was a lot of blood stains on the white clothes, and he put Zhao Ran lightly on the bed, looking at Zhao Ran with his eyes slightly closed, for a while, he didn't know why he did this.
"Zigui Gongzi, how are you ......?"
"Shh......h Don't wake this person. ”
Zigui turned around, turned his head sideways, barely squinted his eyes, and vaguely saw the white-clothed man in front of him, and with just one glance, he fainted again.
His own son-in-law rarely brings anyone, but this time he brought a ...... I don't know if it's dead or alive, and it's covered in blood, you must know that what your son hates the most is blood.
was only a little angry, but he still followed Childe's instructions to heal the wounds of this unknown person and wipe off the blood stains on his body.
Zigui had other things to deal with, and Gu Yangjun sent someone to summon the son, Zigui glanced at Zhaoran with a deep look before leaving, and disappeared like a gust of wind.
He was wringing the cloth that wiped the blood, and the water in the basin had already been dyed red, and he was taking the wrung out cloth and trying to take off the mask, but as soon as his hand touched the mask, it was bounced back by a force.
This ghost mask has cast a spell...... I don't think anyone other than myself can take it off...... He only covered his hands and gritted his teeth in pain.
Thanks to the child, he also fed him the Turning Pill. I just thought about it, but I couldn't do anything, so I had to pick up the basin of blood and walk out of the house.
Here, Emperor Gu Yang was still meditating, only to hear someone summoning Zigui Gongzi to arrive, so he slowly opened his eyes, and his slight anger slowly dispersed.
"Father, you're looking for me." Zigui changed into a new white robe, knelt in the middle of the hall at this time, and saluted.
"What I told you to do, what did you do?"
"Zigui was ordered to go to the Northern Desert of the Ghost Realm to watch the battle from afar."
Zigui's voice was not wavering.
"I told you to watch from afar, but you didn't interfere, you can't move the people in the demon world and the ghost world, don't you understand?"
"Father, I know that you have a relationship with the former ghost emperor, so you saved the ghost general, father rest assured, Zigui did not reveal his identity, nor did he show up, but only used some tricks to save that person."
When Emperor Gu Yang heard this, he was speechless, but the demon clan was cunning, even if he just used a trick, he was afraid that they would find out who was meddling.
"Go to the precept pavilion and receive a fine of twenty lashes, and the matter will be stopped."
"Yes."
Azusa saluted before retreating.
