"Don't be nervous, it's not that complicated. Although Jiu Ban was standing in front of him, Zhu Yan still used the method of thousands of miles of sound transmission to establish communication with Jiu Ban, at least so that the conversation between the two of them could not be heard by others.

"What the hell are you trying to do, kill us?" was actually a little angry. After all, not long ago, he helped the other party re-send Qiao He to Zhu Yan's residence in the Mocking Wind Palace, and Jiu Ban was able to escape from the secret passage and be able to meet Bayu and the others was also a blessing for Zhu Yan. So even though Zhu Yan is now in front of Jiuhan, he still refuses to believe that the other party is a villain who is backtracked and capricious, otherwise he will not help him escape.

Zhu Yan shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then his voice came: "I still have the same sentence, 'The king makes the minister die, and the minister has to die', do you think I can do it very well? You have already escaped twice, and this time you fled with your accomplices and even kidnapped the prince, and the monarch was indeed furious, so he let the four worshippers come to stop and kill you. If I hadn't taken the initiative to bring troops to kill you today, then the number of dead guards behind you would be five times as many as they are now, and you would definitely die. ”

After listening to Zhu Yan's words, Jiuhan's heart suddenly cooled. I already felt that the person wearing the heavy armor was in a suspicious state, but even so, could their combat power reach such a terrifying level?" "So what do you mean, if according to what you said, the team of only a hundred people behind me can pose a threat to a cultivator of my holy realm?"

The conversation between Jiu Ban and Zhu Yan seemed more like a confrontation to the outside world, as if the soldiers and horses had not moved the grain and grass first, and both of them raised their momentum to the highest peak. At the same time, the dead guards behind Shi Jia and the others also began to move. They took uniform steps, pressing towards Jiu Ban and the others step by step. No one spoke, and it was this state of no one speaking that brought an atmosphere of solemnity, and those soldiers were like executioners who harvested life, almost scaring Shi Jia and Hachiyu.

Shi Jia was scared, and Ba Yu didn't have to be much better for him. But despite this, Ba Yu still hugged Shi Jia tightly, and she stood between Jiu Ban and Wei Xicheng and hugged Shi Jia vigorously and tried to reassure him, hoping to hide her panic and fear. Wei Xicheng's double knives were already placed in front of his chest, and what he had been thinking about was that this time was probably inevitable a bloody battle. It's just that unlike the previous necromancers, his cultivation is considered to be one level lower in the face of those undead, but against these soldiers covered in black armor, I'm afraid he won't be inferior, right?

"Don't worry about that, you'll know when you meet them. After a moment of silence, Zhu Yan's voice reappeared in Jiuban's ears. And then he didn't talk nonsense anymore, suddenly squatted down, and rushed directly towards Jiu Han. As he rushed forward, his left and right hands were sealed, and they emitted red and green light at the same time, as if there was some kind of vision.

The battle seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

Suddenly, as if the wind was blowing again in the enclosed space, the oil lamps on both sides of the secret passage shook in unison, almost extinguishing. Zhu Yan and Jiu Ban both discovered this, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, is something about to happen?

Everything happens between lightning and flint, and it's like a dream, and it's hard to react. Suddenly there was a fog in the narrow space, and the fog was so thick that the clarity of everything was reduced a lot. At the same time, a large number of vines quickly spread out from the walls on both sides of the secret passage, and the trajectory was as strange as a snake.

The vines did not hang down after they appeared, but then wound towards Zhu Yan like an octopus, as if someone was controlling it. Each vine was the thickness of an arm, and the simultaneous attack of seven or eight vines was even more unexpected for Zhu Yan. If seven or eight fists smash into a person's face at the same time, and attack in a way that almost blocks all retreats, how many people can dodge?

The footsteps of the black-armored dead guards were still neatly approaching, and Wei Xicheng stared motionlessly in the direction in front of him without looking back, his mental concentration was highly concentrated as if he was a golden leopard before a hunt. But at this time, Zhu Yan and Wei Xicheng's hearts were cold, and they suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts.

He and Zhu Yan were already standing on opposite sides, and there would be no third party suddenly joining the battle at this moment, right? Jiu Ban thought like this, but fortunately, not only did his idea not come true, but what happened next also gave him a great surprise: a bright light as if the sky was shining down from Jiu Ban's head, and then the top of the secret passage was suddenly opened as if it had been hit by a meteorite. Like a mole that was suddenly thrown to the ground, Jiu Ban, who was stimulated by the strong sunlight, suddenly closed his eyes, and even Zhu Yan felt extremely uncomfortable. And when Jiu Ban opened his eyes, God gave him a big surprise:

Wu Liangzi appeared in front of him!

Seeing Wu Liangzi's back, Jiuhan shouted in surprise as if he had won the jackpot: "Master Wu Xiaoxian!"

"Don't Master Wu Xiaoxian!" Wu Liangzi didn't look back, but a slightly disgusted voice immediately came: "I'm entangled with this person, you hurry up and save Wei Xi and take them!" At this time, Zhu Yan had already broken free from the entanglement of three or four vines and was almost about to regain his freedom, and Wu Liangzi hurriedly urged his staff to meet him, and for a while he became a ball with that Zhu Yan.

Jiu Half had never thought of himself as an obedient person, but at this moment, he turned around sharply and rushed towards Wei Xicheng and the others.

It turned out that the so-called fog was not water vapor, but the dust raised by Wu Liangzi when he broke through the ground, and in the shadow of this dust, the dead guards were getting closer and closer to the three of them......

There is a clearing in the bamboo forest, and in the center of this clearing is a somewhat dilapidated thatched house, as if it had been repeatedly burned and repaired by the flames, and it looked very scarred.

Next to the thatched house, there is a large tripod half-suspended in the air, and there is a raging flame burning under the ding, and the temperature is unusually high. This is Tan Yiju refining demons, and before that, he had already refined and exploded one Danding after another, and the ashes on the ground beside him were in addition to the remaining medicine ashes after the failure of alchemy, and there were also fragments of Danding.

For alchemists, Danding is extremely important. The reason for this is not only because the cost of each Danding is very high, sometimes it is ridiculously high, but also because it is really difficult for an alchemist to find a suitable Dan furnace for himself. In the process of alchemy, once there is a negligence, it is easy to "blow up the tripod". Not only is it easy to make everything fall short, but it's also extremely dangerous.

It's just that sure enough, with a loud bang, Tan Yi's pot exploded again.

When the Danding fragments were scattered, Tan Yiju's face maintained an ancient and waveless expression, and while silently watching the Danding fragments scatter, he quietly extinguished the Dan fire in front of him, he was very calm.

With Tan Yiju's actions, a familiar voice came into his ears: "Old Tan, you said how many times have you failed here, when will you be a head?"

The voice came from behind Tan Yiju, but he didn't look back, he picked up the flame that was about to be extinguished, and said angrily: "Do you have something serious? ”

In the bamboo forest behind him, the figure of a child slowly walked out, and he walked straight in front of him around Tan Yiju's back. This person is Xiao Dui, in fact, he and Tan Yiju are already very familiar, otherwise it would not be like this. Xiao Du walked not far in front of Tan Yiju, stood still, and then said, "There must be something, otherwise my body is so precious, how can I have time to come here for a day trip to you?"

Tan Yiju looked up and was about to slap Xiao Dui, but when he looked up, Xiao Du immediately said, "Don't be in a hurry to put out the fire, come, roast this fish, otherwise it will be a waste." As soon as she finished speaking, Twilight didn't know where to take out a fish and threw it on the fire that had not yet been extinguished. You must know that it is a Dan fire used for alchemy, but after a few breaths, the downward side of the fish is roasted, and even the aroma of the fish skin being burnt is emitted.

"You ......" Seeing Twilight do this, Tan Yiju was about to get angry, but in an instant, his eyes were attracted by the fish. The fish is a foot long, with a flat body, but its head is as wide as two palms, and it really doesn't look ordinary. Looking at the fish, Tan Yiju had a familiar feeling for no reason. He suppressed the anger that was about to flare up, and then his emotions turned to hesitation, and he said to Twilight, "This is ......"

"Familiar?" Twilight pulled out a square stone from somewhere, and sat down using it as a stool. Not even just sat down, he also crossed Erlang's legs in front of Tan Yiju.

Tan rubbed his chin, and his two eyebrows were about to wrinkle together. He held the elbow of his right arm with his left hand, while his right hand kept rubbing his chin and said hesitantly, "It's not ...... Vulgar fish?"

As if by some magic, the scene instantly fell silent when Tan Yiju said the species of the fish. The bamboos in the bamboo forest swayed slightly and rubbed against each other to make a nice "rustle" sound, and neither Tan Yiju nor Xiao Du spoke. Twilight naturally knew what kind of fish it was, and Tan Yiju was waiting for his confirmation. If this fish is really a mediocre fish, then everything is probably dangerous.

The fish has light, and if you touch it, you will be poisoned, and if you see it, there will be a great drought in its city.

After being silent for a while, it was Xiao Du who opened his mouth first: "That's right, this is a mediocre fish, the mediocre fish that 'touches it will be poisoned, and if you see it, it will be a big drought'." This creature should have been extinct in my time, but now that I see it in the river, can you imagine what that means?"

Compared to Tan Yiju, Twilight's identity is more mysterious. Although he looks like a child, he is actually an old goblin who doesn't know how many years he has lived. Tan Yiju is already a very terrifying existence, but the world that Twilight has seen seems to have experienced a history that is stronger than him, and he may even have traveled with some legendary characters that only existed in history. It is precisely because of the mysterious identity and surprisingly terrifying ability that Tan Yiju will form an alliance with Xiao Du and work together to do something that they can't do on their own.

After listening to Xiao Dui's words, Tan Yiju's face was already full of sorrow. In addition to sorrow, there is even anxiety in it, as if it has a premonition of something unusual. "So according to you, that person is really revived, and his strength is being restored? If he is in the shadows and we are in the light, then a lot of things will not be easy. ”

"It's not just that," Twilight interrupted Tan Yiju's words, but at this time, his eyes were bright as if there was a solution: "First of all, the appearance of Nine Half has already indicated the return of that person, and he has tried many times to finally find a near-perfect carrier in this life, that is, Nine Half is gone; So Old Tan, I think you have to be ready. ”

"So, in reality, we don't have anything to do with where we are now?"

"It's hard. Xiao Dui's expression gradually became solemn, he stood up and looked at Tan Yiju and said: "There are some things I will do, some things for us and even this world and that person need to be liquidated after all, but some preparations before this can only be done by me, and the only thing you can do at present is to promise me to protect Jiuhan, okay?"

Tan Yiju also stood up, he patted the ash on his body and said confidently to Twilight, "I think it's okay." ”

The young man standing across from Tan Yiju nodded slightly, and then he jumped backwards and stepped back. Under Tan Yiju's gaze, a door suddenly appeared behind Xiao Dui, and he quickly turned around and pushed the door open, walked straight inside, and then disappeared. The door vanished quietly as soon as Twilight entered, as if it had never existed, and disappeared without a trace.

Tan Yiju, who watched Twilight leave, smiled, and then sat down and took out a pill and a corresponding amount of medicinal materials from his own stone, and then regardless of the thatched hut that had just been almost destroyed, he casually raised the pill fire and continued his new round of alchemy.

Despite how many times he failed, Tan Yiju's face still maintained an expression of mission that must be accomplished.

In the secret passage, the place where the nine halves once fought with the necromancer is now like being pierced into the sky, and it is all over the ground. On the pile of rubble, Zhu Yan held Shi Jia's shoulders with both hands, and the two looked at the sky together, and the place where the sunlight came in was the exit where Jiu Ban and Wei Xicheng and the others escaped. Now the tunnel is no longer an authentic, it's just a hole.

Zhu Yan's shoulder was bleeding, and the blood flowed over his shoulder and touched Shi Jia in front of him, but Shi Jia didn't care. Beside them, or under the rubble, there were corpses everywhere. The red blood was mixed with the black armor shield and blade, and it looked as if a pile of black things had been soaked in the red soup, and the bloody smell of blood steamed up to emit a disgusting smell, but Shi Jia and Zhu Yan endured it.

After a while, Shi Jia opened his mouth and said to Zhu Yan: "General Zhu, do you think it's worth it?" Although he was still immature, at this moment, the voice of the mocking prince had become very hoarse. It's like a middle-aged man who has experienced vicissitudes, but it's not greasy, on the contrary, his experience has reached a higher level.

"Of course it's worth it. Zhu Yan said, his eyes looked at the stabbed hole as if he were looking at the sky, and his eyes were full of hope: "There was once a person who said to me, 'If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell'." If the world is to have a real and lasting peace, it needs to be sacrificed. I can't be sure if the sacrifice I made was right, but Jiuhan and the others had to survive, especially Jiuhan, who was an important figure in the Nine Kingdoms' move towards peace and even a republic. Even if this man can't write an important stroke in history, what I can be sure of is that if he doesn't die now, it's definitely much better than dying. ”

As he spoke, the sound of a small but neat army stomping on the ground came, the sound of the army of the Land of Mocking Wind approaching here. Of course, Zhu Yan, the general who has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, knew what this sound was, so he lowered his head slightly and said to Shi Jia: "Lord Prince, the soldiers of the monarch have come to pick us up, let's go?"

didn't look up at Zhu Yan, but Shi Jia nodded firmly, which can be regarded as agreement.

After getting Shi Jia's affirmative answer, Zhu Yan raised his head and took a deep breath, and then said aloud:

"In the country of mocking winds, the head Zhu Yan led a hundred dead guards, and successfully rescued the prince Shijia. However, all the 100 dead guards are loyal to our king, and the guilty minister Zhu is guilty of failing to punish the enemy, so he asks the king to punish him!"
