Chapter 166: The Long Lost Daylight
The people who were still in Jinxia City heard this piercing scream.
Even rain and thunder could not stop it.
"Look...... What's that?"
Someone pointed in surprise in the direction of the north of the city.
With the help of lightning that pierced the night sky, the evacuated soldiers witnessed an incredible spectacle.
In the heavy rain, a half-section of the "bridge to the sky" appeared above the yard - if they didn't describe it that way, they couldn't think of a more appropriate word. The black shadow was long and thin, almost half of the yard, and running on it was a dazzling star!
Most of them even forgot about the evil threat, and stopped in a daze, watching it get higher and higher until it was completely free from the shackles of the black shadow and flew towards the still demon.
When the two become one, the whole world seems to fall silent.
It wasn't until a few breaths had passed that a howl of pain brought everyone back to their senses!
It was an attack on the demons!
Large forces are already withdrawing towards the Western Wall, and who is still fighting with the enemy?
The answer is obvious.
The demon's body became irregular, and it returned to its original state of expansion, writhing and changing frantically, as if it was in extreme pain. Between the churns, it spewed out large clouds of black mist and smashed into the ground, like a dying beast.
And the more painful the other side howled, the more the soldiers rejoiced.
“...... What happened?" Shocked by this voice, Ning Wanjun opened her eyes slightly again and asked in a low voice.
"Your Highness, the servant can't believe her eyes. Qiu Yue staggered to the stretcher and told the strange scene she had just witnessed, "Xia Fan, they really blocked that demon!"
"Ahem...... What's so strange about that. Ning Wanjun showed a smile that she had already anticipated, "His presence ...... It's a miracle in itself. ”
......
What kind of trick is this?
What kind of trick is this!?
Fang Xiandao looked at the sky with his mouth wide open, completely ignoring the rushing rain pouring into his mouth.
Compared with the evacuated troops, he stood next to the yard and naturally saw it more clearly. The bronze bell was pushed by something, and it actually pierced into the demon's body like a bird.
At the moment of the collision, several ripples rippled around the point of impact, and they rose and fell one after another, as if the body of the demon was not composed of dirt, sand, and stone, but water. But in the next moment, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the demon, and they exploded layer by layer along the direction of the ripples, and at the same time spewed out a large amount of black mist.
There is no doubt that the bronze bell inflicted extremely fatal damage on it.
This alone is not surprising.
The size of the bronze bell is there, and anyone who is smashed is enough to choke? Not to mention that it is flying out? The momentum is amazing when you think about it.
But - does it have anything to do with seismus?
He bet there would be no such record in any of the Secret Records of Sorcery.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Fang Xiandao would never have believed that the seismic technique could still be used like this!
I see...... I see!
Although his heart was shocked, his mind was like a mirror.
Why is the name of the Fang Shu so awkward, and whether it is a seismic technique at all, no wonder he has never been able to figure out the complete hexagram of this matter—it is difficult to figure out without mentioning the ever-changing hexagrams? Even if this scene is drawn and placed in front of him, he is afraid that he will not be able to understand the mystery.
Who would have thought that the results of divination revealed as water would be presented in such a form?
It won't help if the old lady of the Fang family comes!
But now Fang Xiandao is sure that if the same hexagram appears again, it will never stump him a second time.
Because he has already seen the meaning behind the hexagrams.
- He was ahead of all the soothsayers.
"Hey, what are you doing there?" Xia Fan shouted at Fang Xiandao, who was intoxicated, "Aren't you going to run for your life?"
This shout brought the other person back to his senses from his reverie?" Flee, where to flee?"
Xia Fan only felt that his head was swollen and painful?Why do these people like to be in a daze on the battlefield?"Of course it's going to the north city wall!Don't you see that something is wrong with the demon?"
It's not just that something is wrong, it's like it's about to explode.
Its massive body swelled and shrunk, unable to maintain its form. Although the black mist that erupted was no longer condensed into a ghost, its volume had also increased several times, and each mass was almost the size of a small car, and it could even produce a noticeable vibration when it hit the ground. If they were hit by such a black mist, they would never end much better than the meat puree.
If the previous long-range strike had been a needle, it was now pouring out its own flesh and viscera.
Xia Fan was full of slander? This An family is obviously a remnant of the Yongguo, how can he stay in the Dongsheng Kingdom for a hundred years?
The western city wall is too far away from them, and they have to cross most of the yard? It is better to simply take refuge in the north, and gamble that the people of the Dongsheng Kingdom will withdraw faster than them.
"Xia Fan!" Suddenly, Li's shout came from the other end of the yard.
"Don't come here, you go find a place where you can shelter!" Xia Fan also shouted back at the top of his throat - if the demon really exploded or fell, the storage area was undoubtedly the most dangerous place.
But then Xia Fan's heart was suddenly raised to his throat, and he saw Li Hun ignore the painful and wailing demon above his head, turn around and rush towards the warehouse.
Could it be that the rain was so loud that it overshadowed his shouting?
No, the fox demon's hearing is originally different from ordinary people, even if the rain curtain is big, she should be able to tell what she is talking about!
Xia Fan raised his head and stared at the frantically wriggling demon, for fear that something would suddenly happen to it.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred - in the midst of the fierce wind and rain, it seemed that a crack had opened in the night, enveloping the demon in it! The demon seemed to want to escape, but the broken body was constantly swept into the gap, and the monster that was originally dozens of meters long was shortened by half in the blink of an eye!
What's going on?
Are you dazzled?
Xia Fan rubbed his rain-soaked eyes and stared again.
I didn't expect this to be the final sight.
The demon was swallowed up in the cracks, and disappeared without a trace with a howl of despair. At the same time, the gap melted into darkness, and the sky returned to its original state.
"Hey, come up!" Li's voice interrupted his thoughts, and he withdrew his gaze, and the fox demon was already lying in front of him.
Xia Fan didn't turn over and jump, but walked to her head, touched the soft cheeks, and then leaned over - although the fur was wet from the rain, he could still feel the heat from her through the skin.
"Y-What are you doing?" Li was stunned.
"I'm tired, let me rest for a while. ”
"Cheer up, now isn't the time to say this! you can rely on it for as long as you want when it's safe—"
"No, we're safe. Xia Fan said slowly, "Look at the sky." ”
Li turned his head to look at the sky above the yard, and couldn't help but be stunned, the demon that was still hanging there just now was gone, not only that, but the color of the sky gradually became brighter, as if the thick ink-soaked picture scroll was being washed away by the rain little by little. A moment later, Jinxia City ushered in the long-lost daylight again.
