The sound of the flute is faint, echoing on the surface of the Zhuan River. After the melee, Yisang City was like a red-hot soldering iron, gradually cooling down. The survivors came to the river and sent small paper boats into the river. A low candle is lit on each paper boat to light the way for the unfortunate souls of this disaster. A few canopy boats roamed the river, careful not to touch the paper boats. The boatman held a long pole and gently plucked the paper boats, preventing them from colliding with each other or piling up on the shore. On the banks of the river, the corpses were neatly lined up, under the auspices of the army, waiting for someone to identify them.

Nie Shouqiu stood at the entrance of the shop along the coast, looking indifferently at the tragic scene in front of him.

On an isolated island in the vast ocean, some people slowly rot in despair, while others look into the distance with hope, looking forward to a peaceful new world after the stormy waves. Only he, Nie Shouqiu, knew that beyond the island, there was just another island. It's like Liuze outside, it's Yisang at night.

"How is the night view of Yisang City?" a man with gray temples came to Nie Shouqiu's back and said with a slight smile.

"It sucks. Nie Shouqiu smiled bitterly and turned to look at the middle-aged man who looked a little like himself.

"How does it compare to Ruzawa?"

"Rusawa is full of despair, and here is full of anger. Nie Shouqiu lowered his head, his pupils quietly turned blood-red, and a faint black appeared under his eyes.

"Ruze suffocates me, this, here, let ······" Nie Shouqiu's head became heavier and heavier, and his voice became lower and lower, "Let me yearn for it." ”

As soon as the words came out, Nie Shouqiu himself was shocked. The blood in the pupils of his eyes lightened a little. But the smell of blood and charred corpses in Yisang City still continued to waft into his nose, stirring up the murderous nature hidden in his heart. The black at the edge of the pupil, like a dry tree root, stubbornly spreads towards the center little by little.

The middle-aged man's brows were furrowed, his wrinkled face suddenly shook, and his flabby muscles instantly tensed, like a poured bronze man. He didn't move, and suddenly shouted, "Shouqiu!"

His voice was not too loud, but it was like thunder on the ground, and every word was clearly poured into Nie Shouqiu's ears. It seemed that a cold current poured in from the ear canal, surging through the meridians of the whole body, washing away the murderous spirit that surged in Nie Shouqiu's heart. Nie Shouqiu raised his head suddenly, his eyes had returned to their original appearance.

"Thank you, uncle. Nie Shouqiu didn't seem surprised by the strange appearance of his body just now.

"Take care of what's in your body. If you can't do it, you will leave Liuze and come to Xiling. At least here, if you are ruthless enough, you will survive. ”

"No need, uncle, don't tell me about this again. Nie Shouqiu shook his head, "I know everything." ”

"How old are you this year, what do you know!" The middle-aged man pushed Nie Shouqiu's head away, "Pull it out while you're young, otherwise it will be too late when you reach my age." ”

"Then wait until you're your age. Besides, Uncle is still young. ”

"You're still playing poor! I'm really as stubborn as your mother!"

"Aren't you the same, uncle? Are you sure you'll never go back in this life?"

"It's a tradition in our family! My brother always lets my sister down. ”

“······”

"Alright, leave that alone. The people of Xiling have always had the tradition of river sacrifice, and it is not good to sail at this time. Look at it like this, the river festival will last for a few more days, and you should stay a few more days. ”

On the eaves of an ancient temple in Yisang City, two ghost generals sat and stood one by one, wearing their own ghost masks, unable to see their expressions. The charm general standing in the back slowly put down a black flute and raised his head, as if looking in the direction of the Chuan Bussel River.

"This is a song that is usually used to kill people. The ghost general sitting in front of him carried two knives on his back and joked with a smile, "Use the murder weapon to mourn for others?"

"Actually, I'm mourning for those mercenaries. ”

"What?"

"It's my habit to blow a song for those who die at my hands. ”

"Are you addicted to?"

"Mouth owes!"

"Hahahaha! If I can't come back one day, don't forget to play a song for me. ”

"Hmph, I'll play a good song to celebrate. ”

The charm general with the double knives on his back just wanted to laugh, but suddenly felt the breath coming from above his head, and immediately raised his head. I saw a huge black shadow hidden in the deep night, flying silently towards the depths of the city along the sky above Fengzheng Street.

"What's that?" Mei pressed her hands to the hilt.

The companion standing behind him did not make any movement, but he had already reacted, his ears flipped as if they were broken, and he turned towards the dark shadow hidden in the night, and said, "Winged, demon beast! But I didn't hear the breathing, no, it didn't even have a heartbeat. ”

"Can you hear it clearly from such a distance?" the charm general with the double knife on his back sneered, "It doesn't matter what he is, I just want to know if this knife will hurt if it will hurt!"

Before the words fell, the figure of the charm general disappeared abruptly. In the next moment, a shadow similar to his body appeared beneath the flying object. The twin knives were unsheathed, and the sharp blades of the black shadow stabbed angrily into its abdomen and throat.

It appeared to be a giant bat, with a translucent membrane on its wings wrinkled like a zombie. But its head is significantly different from that of a bat, its head is rounder, and its snout is more three-dimensional, but it is very similar to that of a tiger. It has a long tail that a bat would never have, thin and long, covered with tiny black scales that are difficult to see in the dark. If you count this tail, it will at least double in size. In contrast to other bats' short legs, it also has a pair of sharp claws with a total of five toe claws, four long toes on the front and one short toe on the inside, just like a human hand.

The demon beast didn't seem to notice the attack below, and still flew straight forward, without making any dodge movements. With a "poof", the double knives stabbed into the body of the demon beast very easily, and the tough demon skin seemed to have turned into a papier-mâché toy, vulnerable to attack. What's even more bizarre is that after the double knife stabbed, not a single drop of blood came out of the wound. The monster beast seemed unconscious, neither struggling nor wailing, but flew forward as if it were suicidal, and the shadow blade sliced its abdomen and chest open.

The shadow flickered, and the figure of the charming general reappeared on the eaves of the ancient temple, still sitting in the distance, with his two knives in the sheath.

"How's it going?" asked his companion behind him.

"It's a mess. The ghost, with the twin swords on his back, stood up, "But it's a dead man." ”

"I was born in the south of Xiling and the north of Liuze. Tiger head, owl ears, bat body, crocodile back, snake tail, two feet and five toes, human palm eagle claws. His eyes are afraid of light, and he dwells in the mountains and valleys, and rises by day and night. The branch of the ancient demon clan, the bloodline is mediocre, and it cannot be transformed into a human.

The age is divided by the length of the tail, and the male and female are divided by the length of the teeth. The female animal settles in enclosures, is withdrawn, sensitive, slightly larger, and has a fierce temperament when raising children. Males have protruding fangs, wander in groups, are slightly smaller, curious and irritable, cunning, cruel and aggressive. If you encounter a female beast in the wild, evacuate her territory immediately. If you encounter a male beast, avoid it, be careful when attacked, and fight and go, and do not flee with your head bored. ”

"Dead, are you sure?"

"I'm sure. The charm general pulled out the knife and held it in front of him, wisps of gray gas wafting from the blade along with the smell of fishy smell and tea.

"Corpse gas, it seems that there is still poisonous gas. The charm holding the black flute took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "It's a beast puppet." ”

The charm general holding the double knife raised his head, glanced at the direction of the flight, and said, "That direction, it's the palace!

The two of them got up in an instant and hurried in the direction of Miyagi. At the same time, in other corners of Yisang City, there were also other charms who reacted one after another and rushed to Miyagi one after another.

In the Yisang Palace, the black-pressed army defended the main hall circle after circle like an ant colony, but no one dared to step into it. On the steps at the entrance of the main hall, there were skeletons lying horizontally and vertically. Not a drop of flesh was left on the skeleton, and purple-black poisonous gas rose from its surface. Between the soldiers, between the skeletons, there seemed to be an invisible door of life and death, and no one dared to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

The hall was full of unconscious officers, and a wisp of black gas was imprinted on their foreheads. Shan Huaiyan sat upright on the court, his face was not unusual, as if everything around him was very ordinary. In the pile of unconscious people, the only standing figure stood out extraordinarily. Gray-blue skin, no pupils on the eyes, bandaged arms, an old scarf around him, a roll of broken straw mats on his back, and a large medicine bag on his shoulder, it was none other than the famous undead doctor.

"Unexpectedly, the supporter behind Xi turned out to be Mr. Shan Huaiyan smiled at him, his expression indifferent, as if facing an ordinary guest.

"Your Majesty, don't get me wrong, I'm just trading with that guy. He pulled down his scarf, revealing his trademark grin. The people who fell on this hall were all high-ranking officers of the Praetorian Guard, but he didn't kill them like he killed the soldiers outside, not because he couldn't do it, but because he didn't want to completely tear his face with the Xiling Empire. In this world, there are not many people who can make you feel a little jealous, and you can count it as one.

"With Xi's strength, he fought with the Blood Sword Slave for several rounds without being defeated, so he must have the help of Mr. ”

"It's just a side door. ”

"What price did he use?"

"His corpse. ”

"Corpse?" Shan Huaiyan raised his eyebrows, not expecting this answer.

"Of course, I'm not here to save people, I'm here to pick up goods. He sneered, and then changed his words, "By the way, there is one more thing." I heard Xi say that His Majesty had investigated Yan Yu. Now that Jingchuan has collapsed, the Xiling Empire can be said to dominate the world, Your Majesty should not set yourself on fire. ”

"Speaking of which, the widow hasn't thanked him properly. Shan Huaiyan laughed, not impressed at all, "One person destroys a country, this courage and strength make Shan admire." ”

"I can't afford to say thank you. I just ruined a Shaoyang City, and if Jingchuan itself had no problems, it wouldn't have ended up in the current situation of being torn apart. However, I also advise Your Majesty not to let Yi Sang repeat the mistakes of Shaoyang. ”

"That's nature. There is a gentleman, even if he borrows another gut, Shan will never dare to make a move to Miss Yanyu. Shan Huaiyan smiled, but this smile was extremely uncomfortable in his eyes, "Shan also wants to remind Mr. that the biggest danger around Miss Yanyu is actually the last soldier." A mercenary, who knows what kind of danger he will bring. ”

"Don't bother. He snorted, feeling a little bad in his heart, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at his medicine bag. Since his eyes had no pupils, Shan Huaiyan didn't notice this detail either.

As the two were talking, the Blood Sword Slave flew in from outside the main hall with the half-dead Xi and landed behind Xuan.

"Thank you, Your Excellency. He turned around and walked straight towards the Blood Sword Slave.

The Blood Sword Slave drew his heavy sword, and the tip of the sword stopped three inches in front of his forehead. A huge sword wind struck out of thin air, scraping small blood marks on Yuan's face, Jin's hair flew up one by one, the scarf was pulled straight behind him, and the dust on his body flew backwards as if it was sucked by a black hole. Behind him, the unconscious officer was swept up by the sword wind and thrown aside, forming a strange sword wind corridor. His brows sank, his left foot took a step back, and the moment his heel hit the ground, a black line that was imperceptible to the naked eye swept out against the ground. The Blood Sword Slave stepped forward with his right foot, and a small wave of qi erupted under his feet, shattering the black thread, and a faint black qi rose from the ground.

The ferocious sword wind quietly disappeared, as if it had never appeared, and the blood stains on his face healed in the blink of an eye. The Blood Sword Slave still lifted the heavy sword flat, without the slightest slackness, and the right foot that stepped out was withdrawn again, and when he landed, he stomped violently, and a faint wisp of black qi floated out from under his feet.

"Don't be rude. Shan Huaiyan shouted softly.

The Blood Sword Slave was silent for a moment, dragging the heavy sword upside down. As soon as his left hand was released, Xi fell to the ground like a corpse. The Blood Sword Slave walked straight forward, passed by Shan Huaiyan, and stood beside Shan Huaiyan. He didn't hurry to Xi's side, and didn't check whether he was dead or alive, just stood like this, calmly looking at the night sky outside the main hall.

"These wastes will naturally wake up after three quarters. ”

"Do you need someone to send someone to send Mr.?" Shan Huaiyan said with a smile.

"There's no hurry. She shook her head.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge figure smashed through the roof of the main hall, waved its wings and flew in, raising a cloud of dust and landing beside him. The dust cleared, and a demon beast appeared in Shan Huai's eyes. The head of a tiger, the body of a bat, the tail of a snake, the back is covered with a layer of scales and bony protrusions, and a pair of slender fangs protrude from the upper lip, but there is no life in the eyes.

"Sir?" Shan Huaiyan nodded, "Sir, even the ancient method of refining beast puppets?"

"It's just a side door. He replied indifferently, touching the knife edge under his body, "The Xiling Charm General is worthy of his name." ”

"But in the eyes of the gentleman, I'm afraid it's not enough. Shan Huaiyan smiled heartily.

He casually threw Xi onto his back, then turned over and said without looking back: "Wait for me to say hello to him." ”

"Who did the gentleman say 'he'?"

"You know it in your heart!"

He waved his bat's wings, kicked the ground with both claws, and soared into the air, carrying Ying and Xi out of the big hole at the top of the main hall. At the same time, seven charms flew past the crowd outside the main hall and broke into the main hall. The moment they broke in, it was also the moment when they flew out from the top of the main hall, and the two were like yin and yang poles.

"Tell him to live well! His life can only be taken by me!"

As soon as the seven charmers landed, the angry shouts of the eyes rang out from behind them, echoing in the main hall.
