At this moment, an exclamation suddenly sounded: "Ancient Essence!"

Qianye and Yetong were both slightly startled, and turned their heads to look, only to see a person walking out of the shadows, and Xu Lang appeared at the entrance of the cave. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Looking at the fragment of ancient essence in Qianye's hand, Xu Lang's gaze could not move for a moment, and he could no longer hide the longing and greed in his eyes.

Neither Chiya nor Yatomi moved, only the muzzle of the sniper rifle in Yaputomi's hand was inadvertently deflected, and now the direction it was pointing in was Chiya.

Xu Lang finally withdrew his gaze with difficulty and glanced at the situation in the cave. The cavern was a mess, and it was clear that a major battle had just taken place, and there were several places where the embers were still not extinguished. Looking at the injuries on Qianye's body, there was a black titanium smell in the two wounds, and blood was oozing from the hastily bandaged strip of cloth on the abdomen.

Xu Lang pulled out his sword and said in a deep voice: "You are Zhao Qianye of Zhao Valve, from now on, you are under my command, bring the ancient essence fragments, and then cooperate with me to kill the princess of Monroe, and I will report your merits to the empire when I return." ”

Qianye was also looking at this young man who suddenly appeared in the imperial military uniform, he had seen too much of this kind of look on the other party, from the street gangs in Dark Blood City, to the family that controlled the exchange point of the bloody war military merit, in front of great interests, greed devoured their reason and bottom limit, no matter what unreasonable means would try.

He couldn't help but smile and said, "How is this commander's order different from the military command I heard before I came down?"

Xu Lang's face sank, and he said coldly: "As an imperial general, I naturally have the right to command the battle. What, are you going to disobey?"

Qianye didn't believe that the Ancient Essence Fragment could enter the Imperial Treasury if it fell into Xu Lang's hands, this was really a clumsy excuse. He stood up slowly, holding the ancient essence fragment in one hand and Dongyue in the other, and said lightly: "The strong man in this place is the king, and the things are in my hands, so if you want to, you can take them yourself." ”

Xu Lang narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Qianye, you want to betray the empire!"

Qianye smiled, "Empire, you dare to go outside to say this? There are many people who want to rob Zhao Valve's things in this Iron Curtain bloody battle, and it seems that you are also one of them, very good, I remember you." ”

Xu Lang's face became even more gloomy, his momentum continued to rise, and he walked towards Qianye, "In this way, I can't let you go out alive, although I didn't plan to let you go." ”

"Who are you?" Qianye glanced at the red scorpion logo on Xu Lang's body, somewhat curious.

"People who are dying don't need to know my name. Xu Lang replied. Halfway through, he suddenly glanced at the night pupil and said, "Monroe's princess, you are not lightly injured, are you? It's too late to leave now, otherwise you will be the next to die." ”

The night pupil's eyes flickered, and the wound on her leg exuded a fresh smell of blood, as if it was healing very slowly, and then glanced at Qianye, and then looked at the rich and substantial force on Xu Lang's body, and then slowly retreated to the side.

Xu Lang laughed loudly and strode towards Qianye, the short knife in his hand trembling constantly, making a heart-palpitating chirp. But before he could land next, he suddenly felt a sudden sharp pain in his heart, and he almost fell to the ground.

Xu Lang was not slow to respond, the force of his whole body exploded, and at the same time, the tip of the knife was on the ground, so that he could stand firmly, but the taste of blood was already in his mouth. He turned his head in shock, and saw a pair of cold eyes in the night pupil, and the muzzle of the black hole of the sniper rifle, looking for the center of his eyebrows.

Xu Lang didn't think twice, and the battle instinct he had formed over the years allowed him to soar into the air to dodge the next attack. However, at the moment when the force took off, his heart spasmed inexplicably. The pain caused by this was not as bad as just now, but it also made his movements slightly out of shape and his strength insufficient.

With a snort, a strange whistling sounded in the cave, and after Qianye launched the pupil technique, he stepped forward, and at the same time, Dongyue swept and slashed Xu Lang's waist.

Xu Lang shouted and swung his knife to block. But the others were in the air, and there was nowhere to exert their strength, and the short knife suddenly broke open, and the person was swept away.

Although Qianye didn't have much Force to use after the fierce battle with the Night Pupil, with only his physical strength and Dongyue's foundation, this blow was not something that ordinary people could resist.

Xu Lang stood up in the air, his body suddenly plummeted, and he stood on the ground. However, when he looked back, he was in a state of revention. Qianye and Night Pupil each held two guns, and the muzzle light flashed, and they were shooting fiercely in this direction!

Dodging bullets is a compulsory skill for every Imperial general, Xu Lang judged the trajectory in an instant, took a step across, and prepared to take a hard shot to avoid the rest of the Force bullets. But at the moment when he took a step, the strange pain in the heart area reappeared, even though Xu Lang had experienced it once, he still couldn't completely control his body's reaction, and his feet involuntarily stagnated.

It was this subtle difference that made Xu Lang take one more shot. Moreover, the trajectory of an Force projectile in the air with a faint black gas suddenly bent, and it also hit Xu Lang's body. This is an Force bomb mixed with black titanium!

In fact, Xu Lang's judgment when he appeared was right, Qianye and Night Pupil were both the end of the crossbow, and the force bullets they fired were ordinary. But Xu Lang was shot three times in an instant, but the Force defense was still directly shattered, especially the Force bomb mixed with black titanium, which made him feel cold all over his body. He made a quick decision and rushed into a cave passage, intending to escape.

The gunfire continued to roar, Qianye and Yetong stood side by side, and the second wave of bullets rained into the passage, and at the end of the passage, there was a roar from Xu Lang, who was obviously shot again.

"Zhao Qianye, you collude with the blood clan, the empire will not let you go!" Xu Lang shouted with hatred, and his voice quickly faded away.

Night Hitomi turned to look at Qianye and asked, "Does it matter?"

Chiya sheathed the twin flowers and said, "It's okay. After returning to the empire, it is not certain who will find trouble with whom. ”

The two glanced at each other, and the tacit feeling of fighting side by side was really charming.

Chiya also discovers the difference between herself and her night pupil. The night pupil's pupil is extremely lethal and can penetrate Force defenses, but the power will still be lost after successful penetration, and the cost of activating is also greater, requiring a certain time interval.

And Qianye's pupil control theory attack power is much smaller, but the Force penetration ability is still above the night pupil, and the consumption is small, and the activation is fast. The battle with Xu Lang was only a few seconds, and Qianye had already launched two pupil techniques in a row, both of which affected Xu Lang's actions at critical moments, and initially caused him to lose quickly.

Perhaps this is the true use of the Hitomi control.

After this incident, Thousand Nights did not delay any longer, and began to absorb the fragments of ancient essence under the protection of the night pupil. I had the experience of absorbing the residual crystals of the Heavenly Ghost Clone, and this process was very smooth, and the will impact from the ancient giant beast was also offset by the Heavenly Ghost Memory.

When Qianye woke up from meditation, he found that the internal and external injuries on his body had basically healed, and even the blood core trauma had mostly healed. A new finger-sized crystal emerged from the original wound and sealed the wound.

This crystal grows together with the blood core, but its properties are different from those tiny grains in the blood core, and it is somewhat similar to the fragments of ancient essence. Qianye couldn't figure out whether this new crystal was a part of the blood core after looking at it for a long time.

Only when the blood clan reaches the prince level will the blood core be completely crystallized and turned into blood amber. Although Qianye had never seen Blood Amber, as far as he could get from the long river of blood, it seemed that Blood Amber was not like this.

Qianye put this matter aside and began to check the state of the Force in her body. The Ancient Essence Fragment contained the vast Void Force, and when it entered his body, it instantly split into two, replenishing his Dawn Force and blood at the same time.

The energy attached to a fragment was extremely huge, and only one Zhou Tian's meditation restored the Force and Blood Qi of Thousand Nights to their peak, and the excess energy was absorbed by the Black Book. This mysterious black book is like a bottomless abyss, and it seems that no matter how much energy there is, it can hold it. When the Ancient Essence Fragment was completely absorbed, the Ancient Rune on its cover resurfaced.

Qianye opened her eyes and saw Ye Hitomi sitting quietly on her knees not far from her, her expression calm with relaxation and vague joy. He finally asked a question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time: "Why did you want to die in the first place? Is it related to the Paz clan?"

"What about you, why don't you do it either?" asked the night pupil rhetorically.

Qianye sat up on her knees, stretched out her hand to pull the body of the night pupil, let her face herself, the two looked at each other, and could no longer escape, and then said, "Why did I do that, you know it in your heart." Now answer my question. ”

Night Pupil finally sighed and said, "It's related to the Paz clan." ”

Next, the night pupil told everything about it. Hearing that the Holy Son Edward was persecuting the night pupil by various means, Qianye's eyes lit up with fierce murderous intent, and the hand holding the shoulder of the night pupil tightened.

Night Hitomi sighed, stroked Qianye's face, and said, "Don't be impulsive, neither you nor I are Edward's opponent now, not to mention that there is the Paz clan behind him, as well as ...... Her Majesty the Supreme Lilith. ”

Qianye nodded and asked, "What about Monroe, they won't let this matter go, right?"

Monroe ...... If the Blackwing King was still around, this would not have happened. But now it is different, and everyone knows that Her Majesty Lilith hates His Majesty Andua very much. Now that she had arisen from her eternal slumber, the entire Bloodline would be subject to her will, and Monroe was no exception. And in the past thousands of years, the only one who dared to disobey her was the Blackwing Monarch. ”

"So Monroe will hand you over?"

Night Hitomi nodded silently.

"What are you going to do now?"

Hearing this question, a blank look appeared on the night pupil's face, "I, I don't know, and my father is ...... It's impossible to go home, maybe to a neutral place, right?"

Qianye thought back to what Night Hitomi had said, and suddenly caught a key: "If you give the Ancient Essence Fragment to the Eternal Night Council, there will be a turnaround, right?"

Under the bright gaze of Thousand Nights, Night Hitomi finally couldn't resist it, and said, "Sort of, if I take the Ancient Essence Fragment back, His Majesty Lilith promises to return my freedom." ”

"Then why are you giving it to me!" Chiya was annoyed.

"Don't you understand? It's just that Her Majesty Lilith doesn't interfere, and she won't care what Edward wants to do. Speaking of this, the eyes of the night pupil were filled with bitterness, and he said, "Even if Monroe can still protect me, I don't plan to go back." Besides, no one really cared about me except my father. Those relatives of mine, what they want is only to use my identity to seek benefits and power for themselves. ”

Qianye slowly took the night pupil into her arms, stroked her soft black hair, and said for a long time, "Follow me!"
