Chapter 268: The Guardian of the Scales
readx;
As this symbol emerged from the back of Yulian's hand, the old woman's speed decreased sharply, and the light that originally shrouded her body became illusory, turning into flying points of light and scattering in all directions, and the old woman's face became more and more desperate, but even so, the old woman still did not intend to stop her actions, she looked at the scales that appeared in front of her with a pale face, and then gritted her teeth violently, and continued to pounce forward, allowing Yulian's long sword to swing straight down and insert into her body.

"Let's go!!Get out of here now!!"
"Is it there?"
You Lian raised his head and stared at the stone house not far in front of him, a cold light flashing in his eyes. He was about to walk, but the old woman was holding him tightly, although the light on her body had begun to become faint at the moment, but the expression on her face was still firm, serious, bravely looking at the young man in front of her, she bit her lip tightly, and let the blood flow down the corner of her mouth, but still did not let go of the hand holding Yu Lian, but still grabbed Yu Lian's body, as if no matter how hard she struggled, it would not go as he wanted.
"I won't let you pass, demon! You have no future! I will never let the Star of Hope fall into your hands!!It is the hope of mankind!!You will not succeed, Guardian of the Scales, humanity will one day regain control of its own destiny, even if you kill us, you will not be able to change all this!"
However, hearing the old woman's words, Yu Lian's complexion also changed slightly.
"Obviously the culprit who is eroding and destroying this world, don't say yourself too innocent, rat. I will not let you continue to destroy this world, which is not just yours. Moreover, destiny will always be in my hands, not yours. ”
Hearing this, Yulian smiled coldly, and then he grabbed the old woman's neck and lifted her up violently.
"You have no future, be prepared to disappear here forever! ”
"Uh......... Woo............"
The old woman struggled hard, her eyes wide open, her tongue sticking out, instinctively sucking in oxygen, trying to gain the strength to live. But Julien's right hand was pinched around her neck like an iron hoop, and he looked at the struggling old woman with a mocking look, like a cat playing with its prey.
"That's it. ”
As he spoke, You Lian's right hand tightened, and then, he soon heard a crisp sound of "click" from the old woman's neck, and the old woman suddenly struggled at this moment, she waved the remaining hand vigorously, and her legs were desperately kicked around in mid-air, and a pair of eyes were round, looking at the young man in front of her. And in the next moment, her whole body stopped moving, hanging in the air like a puppet with a broken string.
"Hmph. ”
Yuren snorted, and with a flick of his hand, he threw the old woman's body on the ground, and then he drew his sword again, and then pierced the old woman's head with a sword. But even then, Yulian didn't seem satisfied, he drew his long sword, looked carefully at the remaining blood stains on the sword with a puzzled face, and then stabbed it down again.
This time, the pitch-black long sword pierced into the old woman's chest, and until this time, the sword body that had not reacted finally emitted a faint white light, and perceiving this scene, Yulian finally nodded with satisfaction, and then he pulled out the pitch-black long sword again, and then walked to the house in front of him.
"Hah...... Ha...... Ha ........."
On the narrow mountain road, the two children were running desperately, and the young man led by him held the hand of the girl behind him hard, his face was sad and serious.
"Hurry up! We're going to get out of here!!"
The boy said loudly, and then glanced behind him, where black smoke was rising from what should have been a village. For the boy, it was like a dream, and he clearly remembered that when the sun rose, it was still so peaceful, so calm, the adults were doing their jobs, and the children were playing carefree. However, in the blink of an eye, all this has changed, and those family members who love them have become corpses lying in pools of blood. And the children who played with him have long since disappeared, which is hard to believe, for the teenager, this is more like a dream than reality. But the cold air, and his body, which was a little tired from running, told him that it wasn't a nightmare.
"Damn...... Damn ........."
The boy bit his lip tightly, his eyes filled with tears. Who the hell are those damn people, and why would they come to ruin their peaceful lives? If they don't, then everyone won't die...... Bastard, I won't let them go!! and the Elders, for the sake of the Elders, I have to live!!
Thinking of this, the boy tightened his grip on the pendant around his neck, which was a small, round crystal ball-like thing.
He took the right hand of the girl behind him and ran as fast as he could, it was a hidden path that no one would find out about, and no one would know about it. Except for him and the elders......... Now, only by this path can he get out of here! However, the boy did not give up, one day, he will grow up, he will have more power, and at that time, he will come back and avenge his people! He will not give up, as long as he can get out of here alive, as long as he can escape from this place, then he can regain his chance. A chance to avenge your own people.
Wait, I don't know where those guys come from, but one day, I'll find out all about it, and then, kill these hateful, evil guys!!
And just when the boy was secretly swearing in the depths of his heart, a leisurely voice suddenly sounded.
"Found you, runaway little mouse. ”!!!
The young man's body chilled, he hurriedly stopped, looked forward, and saw a young man with black hair standing in front of him at some point, blocking his way.
Of course, it was impossible for him not to know that person, this person, who had killed the elder just now, and it was he who had brought disaster to this village.
Looking at the young man in front of him, You Lian raised his eyebrows, he didn't care about the anger and killing intent in the other party's eyes, on the contrary, You Lian lowered his head, narrowed his eyes, and then looked at the pendant around the young man's neck.
"Found it, the twisted point, it's still the same disgusting thing. ”
"I'm not going to give this to you!"
Sensing that Yulian was targeting the pendant, the boy hurriedly took two steps back.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to ask you. ”
Yulian raised his eyebrows, and the fingers of his right hand reversed, gripping the hilt of the sword behind his waist. And the corners of his mouth also showed a cruel, cold smile.
"It's the same as killing you and taking it from the corpse, it's easier, and there's no need to waste time. So, are you ready?"
“―――!!!”
The young man's body tensed, and he could feel the killing intent revealed in Yu Lian's words, which was a cold, terrifying, and blade-like cold aura, which was slowly sweeping through his body at the moment, and even gave the young man an illusion that as long as he moved slightly, he would cause death.
"Brother...... Brother ......"
The girl who followed closely behind the boy also leaned over in fear, she looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, and her delicate face had a pair of big eyes flowing with uneasiness and fear.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you. ”
Hearing his sister's voice, the boy seemed to have some courage. And seeing this scene, the original killing intent in You Lian's eyes also eased slightly.
"It's a touching brotherly relationship, well, I'll try to make your death less painful. Take it easy, it's time for the good kids to go to bed. ”
"Who wants to listen to you!"
Perhaps because of the sudden easing of Yu Lian's feelings, the young man also keenly felt that the killing intent floating around him was not as strong as just now, he suddenly shouted, and then grabbed the girl behind him and ran back. Since this road is not passable, then there is no point in going any further, and now there is only one way to try to escape from here again, and then see if there is any other way.
At this moment, the boy noticed a sudden sound of wind coming from behind him.
"Hey!!"
Maybe it was because of luck, or maybe it was because of other reasons, at that critical moment, the boy subconsciously pulled his sister to lower her head, and then felt the cold wind whistling over his head, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, but before the boy could completely relax, a roar came from above their heads.
When the boy looked up, he saw stones from the mountain wall smashing at him.
Worst!
That was the last thought in the boy's mind, and he was buried in the darkness.
.......................................... I don't know how long it took, but the boy straightened his eyes, and he gasped, only to realize that he was not buried, but just brushed by the stones. He raised his head and stared at the sky in front of him, where it was still clear and the black smoke was still drifting away. Could it be that a long time has passed just now, but in fact it has only been a moment?
No matter!
Thinking of this, the young man shook his head, he turned his head, and did not see the figure of the black-haired man, did he not chase after him? Or did he think that he and the others were dead, so he left? Thinking of this, the young man lowered his head and looked at his chest, where the pendant was still upright on his chest, and it was not missing. After confirming this, the boy finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he hurriedly stood up. It's not the time to relax, and if you don't leave as soon as possible, you don't know what kind of changes will happen. Since the man is not here now, then he and the others must leave immediately.
"Quick, sister, let's go!"
The boy looked at his sister, and then his body stiffened.
The girl who was originally following him had been buried by the stones, only the upper body was still exposed, and the girl at the moment lowered her head, and then still held her brother's hand tightly, but there was no response.
"Oops, did you faint?"
Thinking of this, the young man's heart immediately appeared a little uneasy, at the moment he has no time to waste here, if he continues to stay, then I am afraid it will become more dangerous, but, deep in his heart, he still will not leave his sister, he will go home alone.
"Wake up, wake up, I'll get you out right away!"
The young man shouted, and then subconsciously held the girl's right hand and pulled it forward hard.
Unexpectedly, it was easy to pull out the girl who was originally buried deep in the rubble. However, that is not a complete gesture. In other words, for the boy, this scene at the moment is a scene that he has not imagined at all. However, the world is like this, and even if it is no longer believed, nothing will change the facts.
"Huh?"
The young man, who had fallen to the ground because of the exertion, stared blankly at the girl in his arms, where it was still his sister, who held his hands, her face pale, her eyes closed, and looked down -- and the girl from the waist down was completely gone, and only the blood-dripping internal organs poured out of the gap in the body, dragged and scattered on the ground, and rolled to the ground like a crumpled rope.
"Ah......... Ah............h
The boy stared blankly at the half-corpse of his sister in his arms, and there was no expression in his eyes. In fact, he didn't know what he was going to do now. How could this be? How could this happen, depending on the situation? I said I wanted to protect my sister, but now, why, why did it become like this? My sister died like this? Died? Died in this place? Why did she die? Why did she die!
"Ahh!!!h
The boy felt that his nerves had been completely deranged, and he clung to the half-mutilated corpse, and cried out loudly, his blank eyes no longer showing any sparkle.
And at this moment, Yuren's voice came from behind him again.
"So I said a long time ago, honestly, I can still give you a good time. ”
However, the teenager had no chance to react to this sentence.
The sharp, shining sword blade with a strange brilliance came from the top of his head, straight down, You Lian's wrist was slightly raised, and with his movements, the young man's head tilted to the side, and then, a silver brilliance jumped into the air, and then You Lian reached out and held it.
"I've finally found it, the point of distortion. ”
Looking at the bright crystal ball shining in his hand, Yulian smiled with satisfaction, he closed his palms and clenched the small crystal ball hard, and at this moment, the balance on the back of Yulian's hand reappeared, and with the appearance of this pattern, a trace of tiny, faint bright spots leaked out of Yulian's fingers like sand, and then disappeared into the air.
At this time, Charlotte's figure also appeared behind Yulian at the right time.
"Master, the task has been successfully completed. ”
"Good. ”
Yulian nodded, then opened his palm again, but it was empty.
"The result?"
"All of them were killed, and nothing was left alive, and we have properly identified all the corpses, five hundred and eight in all, which is basically the same as what Miss Farlian said. ”
"So, that means it's not exactly the case?"
"Yes, there are thirty-five people whose whereabouts are unknown, and according to the children who are guarding outside, it is believed that they have not escaped. However, it is also possible that there are people in the forest who have not returned, or it is not impossible to go out because of various things. ”
"We can't leave anything to do with it, inform Judy, and destroy this place completely. Also, scatter the dragon knights and sweep all the places inhabited by humans around this place as a center, just in case. It's really troublesome, and it looks like we're going to have to do something really hard. ”
"Yes, master. It's just that in this case, the people around you will suffer. ”
"There is no way around it, for the sake of this world, small sacrifices are always inevitable. ”
As he spoke, Yuren shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
"But it doesn't matter, anyway, the more people die, the closer we get to our goal, doesn't it?"
"Exactly, my lord, this time, there is no one who can hinder us, and I think, our plans can go smoothly. ”
Charlotte bowed solemnly, and then she lowered her head and looked at the two corpses in front of her, revealing a graceful smile. The topic then diverted from the topic.
"Very touching brother and sister love. ”
"It's hard to say what the truth is. ”
Yuren shrugged his shoulders and turned around.
"Any other reports?"
"Yes, master, there has been news from Miss O'Faryl just now, and it seems that some people are no longer able to bear to act. ”
Hearing this, You Lian's eyes narrowed, as early as when he made the decision to transfer on a large scale before, he had already guessed that there was such a possible surname, and now it seems that things are developing as he expected. It seems that someone is more anxious than himself, which is undoubtedly good news for Yu Lian.
"Very well, bait on the bait, leave it to Ofariel over there, let's concentrate on our own business first. Inform O'Fariel that we are currently busy and have no way to go back to help, so leave it to her to settle it herself. ”
"Yes, master. ”
In the face of Yuren's order, Charlotte replied with a chuckle.
