"Hum. ”

A miserable scream like a bell rang out, and a Kongtong beast leaned over, its knees weakened, and fell to its knees on the main street, and its strong inertia caused it to slide out of the ground for a full three feet, and the cyan stone slab under its feet instantly shattered and sank.

It had a crossbow on its forehead, which had pierced the entire skull, revealing half of the tip of the spear on its back, which completely cut off its vitality, and it was a one-hit shot.

The person who shot was a disciple who controlled the divine blood ballista, the launch of this kind of ballista was quite difficult, it needed to be controlled by two people at the same time, and the disciples of the Empty Ming Realm could only fire at most twice, so they had to be replaced to rest, and the disciples who took turns stood in a whole row behind them, taking over in a very orderly manner, which can also be seen that the disciples of the four major sects are well-trained, and they can still stabilize the morale of the army when the enemy is present, and they are not in a hurry to counterattack.

Although everything seems to be in order, it still can't change the fact that Ember City is falling into passivity.

Su Qi squatted on the corner of the street, carrying a wine gourd in his hand, and drank it in small sips, this is close to the north city gate, it is the area that the Eternal Life Hall is responsible for defending, in addition to defending the main street, they also have to divide people to guard against the north city wall, once the north city wall is broken by the black beast, they will fall into greater trouble.

Dongfang Jiyue leaned against the wall, quietly looking at the defensive battle on the main street, her face was very unclear in the dim light, and Su Qi was not familiar with her temper, and couldn't figure out what she was thinking, and the young man of the Fireweary Clan was sitting cross-legged on the ground, clutching an unknown stone in one hand, gnawing happily.

Su Qi turned his head and glanced at Dongfang Jiyue, "The disciples of the All Saints Pavilion are very powerful, this set of crossbow techniques is obviously very mellow, it is estimated that they have practiced more than once or twice, and in terms of speed, they are a lot better than your three sects." ”

Dongfang Jiyue glared at Su Qi, "This divine blood crossbow is a magic weapon unique to the All Saints Pavilion, our disciples can learn the method of control in such a short period of time, and the four major sects have their own offensive and defensive magic weapons, if it is replaced by the Heavenly Thunder Crossbow of our Immortal Palace, the performance of the disciples of the All Saints Pavilion will not be much better." ”

"Are all your four sects preparing for war?" Su Qi raised his eyebrows, "This kind of mass killing weapon is rarely used. ”

"The boundary road is not a stable place, there are wars every year, there are disputes every day, although most of the years are small fights, and they can't hurt our four major sects, but after a long time of calm, there will be people who can't hold back the thoughts in their hearts and provoke a big war, and the last boundary road war has been almost seven thousand years ago, and the number of ambitious people is countless," Dongfang Jiyue clasped her hands on her chest, and her slender right leg stepped on a raised boulder," Moreover, the dark wind appears almost once in 50,000 years, although it is impossible to predict the exact time, but the major sects have also felt that disaster is about to come in these years, so the slightly smarter sects have all started to prepare for war a hundred years ago. ”

"If you divide for a long time, you will be together for a long time, and you will be divided for a long time, there is such a saying in the world. ”

"It's better to say that we're just thinking of danger in times of peace. ”

Su Qi laughed, "Yo, I used a very positive word." ”

Dongfang Jiyue didn't answer, looking up at the dome with a solemn gaze.

Su Qi threw away the wine gourd in his hand, clapped his hands and stood up, "What are you looking at?" and Shun

"Dome, that rift is getting bigger and bigger. Dongfang Jiyue took the wine gourd, looked at it hesitantly, and didn't drink it.

"I don't know what that stone tablet is, but it actually suppressed the holy stone barrier of Ember Fire City. ”

Dongfang Jiyue hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly, "I seem to have heard the story of the ancient stone tablet, but I'm not sure if it's referring to the top of my head. ”

"What's the story?" Su Qi became curious.

"Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, there were several emperors in the forbidden road in the battle, the vast momentum swept half of the road, when the war ended, the monks of the northern region had seen a stone tablet fly out of the forbidden road, across the darkness, the stone tablet seems to be sitting on a black-clothed monk, it is said that when the stone tablet appeared, the northern boundary road shook non-stop, but no one knew the identity of the man in black, nor did he know the whereabouts of the stone tablet. ”

"Is it a forbidden road?" Su Qi muttered softly, if it weren't for his lack of strength, he really wanted to go in and have a look, he had a hunch that the depths of the boundary road were likely to bury the secrets he had crossed over.

"There is more than one side to that stele. The fire-weary boy interjected suddenly, and he put down the stone in his hand, and in the darkness his eyes were bright and bright, burning like fire.

Dongfang Jiyue was stunned for a moment, "Is there a record in your clan?"

"Well," the boy nodded, "it is an ancient stone stele, it is said to have a history of hundreds of thousands, and my people do not know its origin, but they know that this stone tablet has a total of six sides, mysterious and unpredictable, each representing different Taoist rules, one of which is said to be related to the dark avenue, which records the method of cultivating the dark Taoist rules based on the aura, my people once thought that this stone tablet has a lot to do with the black beast, but judging from the carving, the stone tablet is not the one above the head." ”

"So the black beast controls the two stone tablets?" Dongfang Jiyue guessed.

The boy shook his head, "Then I don't know, there are two or three stone tablets that have appeared in history, but they are only a flash in the pan, and no force has really controlled them, so the whereabouts of the other five stone tablets are all a mystery, but one of the ancestors of my clan once briefly came into contact with a stone tablet, and that stone tablet represents the principle of 'life', relying on it, my ancestor created the art of drawing life," he threw the stone in his hand, "that is, the secret technique of obtaining power by devouring many spirit stones." ”

Su Qi was a little surprised, "I thought it was your racial talent. ”

The boy shook his head, "Sometimes, racial talent is just the precipitation of secret arts, after a long inheritance, this secret art has been firmly immersed in our blood, and it makes no difference if it is talented. ”

"There is one more thing," the young man thought for a moment, recalling something, "Senior Sister Dongfang, the man in black in the story you just talked about...... Maybe I know who it is. ”

"Who is it?"

"Our clan has benefited a lot from the ancient stone stele, and naturally has been chasing the whereabouts of other stone tablets, so I have also seen the man in black sitting on the stone stele," the young man looked at Su Qi, He is a human emperor from the Jingyuan realm, but he came to the boundary road long before becoming an emperor, and did not leave any name, he came to the boundary road wearing a very strange clothes, claiming to be a true Buddha disciple, preaching everywhere, and also came to our ancestral land, so we only know his identity, but for some reason, later his breath changed greatly, as if he had completely changed a person, not only did he not wear Buddha clothes, but also completely abandoned the identity of the true Buddha disciple, his last appearance was to drive the ancient stone tablet and leave, our ancestors guessed that he was likely to return to the human race。 ”
