Chapter 42 The letter came from the capital
It was almost evening, and it was getting colder and colder.
The five-foot-long tempered steel knife was held in Mo Lin's hand, and his determination was also dispelled by the lazy aura on his body. The steel knife body is not engraved with complicated flow patterns, the back of the knife is straight, and the edge of the knife is slightly open, presumably its owner must usually be negligent in taking care of it, such a knife can not be sold at a good price even in the blacksmith shop in the market, but this knife has an extremely loud name like its owner who is only a middle-aged villager: magic knife soul eater.
Who would have thought that when the Southern Dragon General Mo Lin appeared on the battlefield with a magic sword to devour the soul, it was such an ordinary scene, where he looked like a general who was mighty in the world, but like an old oilman who was looking for provocation at the head of the village.
"General Mo Lin, I'm afraid I'm going to let you go home in disappointment today, and I don't have time to deal with you. Chaohu said and walked straight towards Tun Tun.
Mo Lin laughed dryly, and with some embarrassment, he put the knife horizontally in front of Chaohu and blocked the latter's way.
"You are in Gray Rock City, I am in Tianlang County, so many years of looking at each other from afar, it can be regarded as a bit of friendship, there is a reluctant request, can Lord Chaohu reward me with a thin face of mine." β
"If your General Molin's face is thin, there are few cheeky people in this world. Chao Hu sneered coldly, "There are some things that I can help with some effort, and there are some things that you and I can't decide in a few words." β
"Entrusted by my best friend, let me take a few people back, I originally thought that it was temporarily detained by the little thief in Yaque Ridge, but I never thought that I would actually alarm Lord Chaohu to come here in person, which is tricky. Mo Lin rubbed his hands in embarrassment, looking even more embarrassed.
"Except for this woman. Chaohu pointed at Tun Tun and said, "The rest of the people should be regarded as sending the general a favor." β
"Thank you, sir. Mo Lin hugged his fists in salute, and then said with a smile, "Why don't adults be beautiful and send people away." β
"I dare to send this person, general, do you dare to take it?
"Oh, forgive my clumsiness, I hope you tell this person what is going on?"
"This is a rebel in the Demon Domain, and a demon king has asked our patriarch to help capture him. β
"Rebellion, it also involves the Yueyao Continent, and it is indeed a big matter, but recently some bad rumors from Yueyao's side have spread to Apocalypse City, which has made people panic, can you lend her to me for two days, and I will return it in person when I ask clearly." β
"What a big guts, the general of the Taki clan dares to take it?"
That's not true. I just rescued a demon beast in danger from the hands of the Cangyang thief, what happened to the Guan Long Clan? Could it be that the city lord of Gray Stone City defected to the Taki Clan, then I will go back to play Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to give a commendation to the world for Lord Chaohu's feat of abandoning darkness and turning to the light. Mo Lin, who had been smiling, had a smile on his face even more, as if he had really encountered some great joy.
As soon as Mo Lin's words came out, Chaohu's face, which had not been very good-looking since the beginning, finally turned completely cold.
You must know that Huiyao was defeated seventeen years ago, and the number of old troops left in Cangyang is still not small, among which there are several people who are stronger than Chaohu, over the years, only Chaohu has steadily occupied a place, in addition to his own cautious and ruthless work, there are more or less shadows of Liujiao behind him, but the situation in Cangyang is too complicated, and the Sunset Empire and the other three major families are unwilling to spend energy to wade into this troubled water, so they turn a blind eye to what the Takishi clan does. Although Chaohu is a pawn of the Takith clan in Cangyang, everyone knows it, but it is by no means a glorious thing to put this matter on the table, and the reputation accumulated by the ancient family of the Western Dragon Crying Sea for thousands of years is much more important than this small city.
If according to what Mo Lin said, let Emperor Longwu tell the world, he Chaohu only has two ways to go: one is really above board and squarely under the command of the Taki, then it will inevitably be besieged by the forces of the Chaos Domain and the Great Enlightenment Realm, at that time the Takishi people are far away at the other end of the continent, the whip is beyond reach, and the adjacent sunset is not to be counted on, this move is tantamount to pushing himself into a desperate situation, and the other way is that he does not admit this matter and draws a clear line with the Taki, the Takishi will definitely say that he is a rebel in the clan, and it is estimated that in less than half a year, his body will be hung on the torture platform in front of the Abyssal Ruins, in order to comfort the heroic souls who died in the Battle of Cangyangγ
So once the identity of Chaohu is revealed, it is just a matter of dying early and dying late.
"If General Mo Lin must take this demon beast away, then I can only take the risk of asking the general to stay here. Chaohu's hands are knotted to form a "line" character print.
Turning over the sea and taking the ocean
The boundless black sea water surged out again, converging from all sides of the wasteland with a supreme momentum, trying to raze everything in the Raven Ridge to the ground. It may be because in the face of a fierce opponent, Chaohu did not spare his hand this time, and the current that called for it was several times more majestic than that of the Shark Country, if Mo Lin could not stop this sea water, the tide would rush all the way and directly slap under the outer wall of Shuanglian Town.
Mo Lin faced the sea, inserted the long knife into the land, and raised the two fingers of his left hand together, and tapped lightly on the steel knife, the blade shook slightly, and a long trilling sound came out.
Ghosts
A spiderweb-like crack spread out from Mo Lin's feet, the earth flew, and a huge body more than a hundred feet long drilled out of the ground, traversing between Mo Lin and the sea. It was a large python covered in scale armor, the bulges on the python's back were like battlements, and its huge body was like a stretch of black walls, and the sea bombarded its indestructible body, making a thunderous sound.
Seeing that this python was about to stop all the angry waves in the sky, the handprint of the tide tiger changed.
Turning the Sea Spirit.Salt Wind
As the tide receded, the salty sea water shrank sharply, and the thick ink-like sea water gradually seeped out white particles, and the howling wind from nowhere rolled up these particles and slammed them into the body of the black-scaled python.
Many fishermen born by the sea always look more vicissitudes than their age, and experienced fisherwomen will never leave their clothes to dry in the sea breeze, even ordinary people know that adrift on the ocean current, the sea water is tantamount to poison, and it must not be entered, all because of the salt in the water. Today, the salt wind of Chaohu concentrates the salt of the vast ocean in one place, and the degree of corrosion is ten million times more violent than that of ordinary sea breezes. It's just that in an instant, half of the body of the black-scaled python has turned into dry bones.
Mo Lin drew his sword and slashed in the air.
Succubus
A faint shadow flashed, and it went against the wind with a laugh like a silver bell.
"Bastard!" Almost at the same time, the roar of a tide tiger could be heard in the distance.
The wind stopped, and the python's body turned into dust and returned to the earth, and the tiger opened the flesh from the clavicle of the right shoulder to the left subcostal skin, revealing a terrible scar.
"Boss, this is a hard stubble. The crisp and tactful voice sounded again, and a humanoid silhouette faintly appeared next to Mo Lin, judging from the posture, it should be a woman, the woman's arms were broken, and the injuries suffered were much more serious than Chaohu.
"The situation is critical, I was reckless, come back and recuperate. Mo Lin swung the knife again, and the woman on the side slowly dissipated.
"As a southern dragon general, you have the title of ghost general, the crack eye, the soul devouring knife, and the four ghost generals of the ghost, and it is really troublesome. Although the wound on Chaohu's chest looked hideous, it didn't hurt the root for him who was strong, and he held his breath to make a third magic seal.
Suddenly, a bit of white fluttered down from the high sky, attracting the attention of Chaohu and Mo Lin.
It's not yet the depths of winter, and it's going to snow?
To make the two cultivators of the Shangxian Upper Realm stop fighting, this bit of white is definitely not as simple as a snowflake.
"It's a coincidence. The white thing fell into Mo Lin's hands impartially, this was actually a letter, and there was nothing on the snow-white envelope except for a strong and powerful word "leaf".
"Now it's interesting, a letter from Lord Marshal. β
Chaohu's face became even more ugly when he heard this, Marshal Ye Qixian of Sunset, that is still above the Eight Dragon Generals, a figure who leans towards the government and the opposition, and the most important thing is that he is still one of the only two Jingsheng Realm in Sunset, and his cultivation strength is the strongest in the empire. It was with this person that the Apocalypse Ye family sat firmly in the top spot of the military department and became the number one tyrant under the imperial city. The letter of the fairy is more than just a letter.
"Hugh is going to bluff me. Chaohu stared at the letter, his face full of water droplets, I don't know if it was sea water or sweat.
"Bluff you or not, you'll know when you read it. Mo Lin's hands formed a "array" character seal.
As the seal was formed, the leaf characters on the envelope flashed with a pale green light, and under the light, a man's figure appeared in front of the two. The man's long hair was tied back at the back of his head, and he was wearing the official uniform of the military generals of the sunset, and his face was quite young. It's hard to imagine that this Toshihiko, who looks like he has just embarked on a career and has a bright future, is already a figure standing at the peak of both monasticism and power, and he is at the top of the list without adding the word "one" to the end.
"Since the apocalypse came here, the marshal's cultivation has been refined again. Mo Lin bowed to the immortal.
"General Mo Lin is overrated. The fairy bowed his head, and then his eyes fell on Chaohu, "Who is this person?"
"The city lord of Greystone City, Chaohu. Mo Lin replied.
"Three breaths, leave as soon as possible, or don't go. β
Let a ruthless person who has been in Cangyang for more than ten years leave no room for it, but it has become a matter of course in the mouth of the immortal. This is not arrogance, on the contrary, it is the mercy of a male lion towards a hare under his paws.
In the twilight, it is the strongest in the twilight, and when you come to Cangyang, it is naturally the strongest in Cangyang, and the self-confidence of the Jingsheng Realm is the most natural truth in heaven and earth. Just as the long road of cultivation, if you know the way, he is the truth, if you are in the world, he is the world, and if you are virtuous, he is the sage. Gods, immortals, holy spirits...... Practitioners in this realm have too many titles that do not belong to the human world.
"Are you really afraid of a wisp of consciousness from a hundred thousand miles away when I am Chaohu?" Chaohu's eyes were scarlet, perhaps because he was too nervous, and he didn't realize that the nails of his clenched fists were sinking into the flesh.
Qi Xian put his hands behind his back, and just said calmly: "Three." β
Chaohu gritted his teeth, and wanted to put his hands together to resist with a spell, but the moment he raised his hand, he found that he was firmly bound by the invisible shackles of vitality and could no longer move the slightest.
"If you don't leave, even your patriarch will not be able to save you. Qi Xian looked at Chaohu and said, "Two." β
The tide tiger was like being struck by lightning, and the qi in his body surged, spurting out a large mouthful of blood. In an instant, his black hair turned gray, and most of his cultivation had been destroyed.
"My lord, spare my life!" Chaohu finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore and shouted sadly.
Qi Xian waved his hand, ignoring the Chaohu who fled in a hurry, turned to face the woods in the distance, and scolded:
"Who's snooping around?"
