Chapter 152: Soul Slayer!
Five days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was a rest day, Tang Rui learned that there was also an auction house in Amaterasu City, and he had accumulated a lot of pills these days, so he wanted to sell some of them.
The auction house is located on a bustling street in the west of the city, Tang Rui turned into that street from the main street, and saw a large number of people gathered in front of him from a distance, shouting and cheering one after another.
Tang Rui picked a corner with fewer people, and looked inside, there were three buyers sitting on the auction table, he glanced at it, and was surprised to find that one of them was Brother Shi Meng. Tang Rui was overjoyed, and Brother Shi Meng also arrived in Amaterasu City?
The price continued to soar, and the pill that was auctioned off was eventually taken away by one of the other two, and the crowd dispersed temporarily. Shi Meng didn't get it, his face was a little gloomy, and he shook his head and walked off the auction table. Tang Rui walked around his back and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
Shi Meng was taken aback, looked back and saw that it was Tang Rui, and exclaimed: "Brother Tang Rui! I haven't seen you since I said goodbye to Thunder City, I didn't expect to meet here." ”
Tang Rui smiled: "This is the legendary fate." Shi Meng also smiled when he heard this.
Tang Rui saw that Shi Meng had a few more shallow scars on his face and hands, and knew that he had been running around in the past few months, and it was not easy for him.
Shi Meng saw Tang Rui looking at the scar on his face with concern, his heart was moved, and he forced a smile: "Little brother don't worry, this little injury is commonplace, Brother Shi, I have rough skin and thick meat, I can't die." ”
Tang Rui smiled reluctantly.
Shi Meng stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Haha, I haven't seen you for a few months, it seems that your skills have improved a lot." ”
Tang Rui waved his hand and said, "Where, it's still far away." ”
Shi Meng looked at Tang Rui's expression as if he had become a little more mature than before, and said with a smile: "It seems that not only has his skills improved, but even his people have grown a lot." ”
Tang Rui just smiled.
Shi Meng said: "Last time in the Thunder Sect, I wanted to invite you to drink, but you didn't come after waiting for a few days, it's really a big pity." Today, you must have a good drink and make up for all the previous ones. ”
Tang Rui agreed with a smile, and was about to follow Shi Meng to the restaurant, when he suddenly remembered that his elixir had not been sold yet. Thinking that Brother Shi didn't photograph the gloomy appearance of the pill, he suddenly thought, many of the pills he refined were medicines to stop bleeding and replenish the yuan, so it was better to sell them directly to the auction house than to sell them.
Tang Rui said this, Shi Meng naturally agreed, Tang Rui took out the pills, these pills were originally close to the fifth grade, but he knew that the mercenaries did not need and could not afford such a high-grade pill, so he said that he had just reached the ninth grade, Shi Meng believed it, so he bought it at the price of the ninth grade, asked his subordinates to put away the pills, and then went to the restaurant with Tang Rui.
The two sat down, and the wine and food were quickly served. The two chatted while drinking, and talked to each other about their experiences in the past few months.
Tang Rui talked about eating barbecue and drinking spirits with Shi Gang in the forest, Shi Meng listened with great interest, Tang Rui relayed Shi Gang's praise to Shi Meng, Shi Meng listened, waved his hand again and again, but his eyebrows were filled with irrepressible joy, his expression and demeanor were very contradictory, Tang Rui looked at him like this, and secretly smiled in his heart.
During the chat, Shi Meng talked about a strange incident he encountered in the wilderness yesterday, "I saw a large group of mercenaries passing by on the road, and I am familiar with all the mercenary groups in the Nine Great Cities, but I have never seen these people. I thought it was weird, so I went to talk to them, but before I could say anything, I was kicked out. Although I didn't say anything, but at a glance, I saw a terrible skeleton carved into the scabbard of those people, I have seen countless mercenary group badges, but I have never seen a badge with a gloomy skeleton ......"
When Tang Rui heard the word "skeleton", he couldn't help but think of the skeleton mark on the soul hunting bag, Hong'er said, it was the unique logo of the Soul Killing Palace, could it be that the team of people were all subordinates of the Soul Killing Palace?
Tang Rui saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he took out the soul trapping bag and presented the skeleton mark to Shi Meng, who saw that it was exactly the same as the skeleton engraved on the scabbard.
While Tang Rui put away the Soul Hunting Bag while thinking about why the subordinates of the Soul Killing Hall were pretending to be mercenaries and appearing in the wilderness near Amaterasumen, he suddenly remembered something and was shocked in his heart.
Tang Rui knew that the stakes were high, so after drinking, he went back to Amateralama directly and told Kong Ming about the matter.
Kong Ming was also shocked when he heard the news, and frowned: "The people of the Soul Killing Hall can reach Amarasu City unknowingly by pretending to be mercenaries, and the eight elders need to guard the Demon Sealing Tower, and they are unable to withdraw, and the current Tianzhao Gate is the weakest time, and the Soul Emperor takes this opportunity to attack, not only can he save the remnant star and Jiao Gan, but he can also level the Amaterasu Gate in one fell swoop. The Soul Emperor is insensitive, and that move 'Black Flame Burial' is even more domineering, once it is used, the entire city will be immediately buried in the sea of fire, Chongmu City has been destroyed by this trick before, is it possible that Amaterasu City will also suffer this catastrophe today?"
Tang Rui saw that Kong Ming's brows were tightly locked, and he was thinking hard about countermeasures, so he stood quietly aside and didn't disturb him. Kong Ming groaned for a while, and finally spoke: "If the Soul Emperor plans to use the 'Black Flame Great Burial', then the people of the Soul Killing Hall must not have entered the city at this time, I have only thought about it for a long time, although I have come up with a countermeasure, but it is difficult to perform. ”
Tang Rui asked what the countermeasure was, and Kong Ming said: "If you want Amaterasu City to avoid catastrophe, the only way to use a super large barrier to cover the entire city in it can avoid the destruction of life." Kong Ming paused, sighed, and said, "But in order to form such a huge enchantment, it is necessary to have at least four people with extremely deep skills, who are working in the south, east, west, and northwest directions respectively to form a barrier. Now the four elders are guarding the Demon Tower, and the only people who have this strength are me and Senior Brother Shi, and it is absolutely difficult for me and him to form such an enchantment alone. ”
Tang Rui was also worried when he heard this, and muttered, "At least four?"
The word "four" reminded him, and when he thought of the four heavenly stones on his body, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Master, have you forgotten that I have four heavenly stones? If the four heavenly stones are distributed on all sides of Amaterasu City, and I control the power of the heavenly stones in the center of the city, I will definitely be able to form an enchantment that can cover the entire city!"
Kong Ming listened to Tang Rui's words, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "The teacher actually forgot about this matter." However, he then said worriedly, "The center of Amaterasu Castle is too far away from each other, how can you sense the Celestial Stone?"
Tang Rui smiled lightly: "Master, don't worry, when I was in the wilderness, I could feel that it was far away from this, not to mention that now it is only half a city away." ”
Kong Ming finally put his mind at ease when he heard this.
At this time, the situation was already critical and urgent, Kong Ming ordered Shi Gang to guard the Tianzhao Gate, and then went with Tang Rui to place the Tianshi. The two of them flew extremely fast, and in a short time, they had already buried the four heavenly stones in the hidden corners of the southeast, north, and west of Amaterasu City, and Kong Ming had set up a strong prohibition everywhere, so that no one could easily approach it.
After the Heavenly Stone was laid, the two came to a secluded corner in the center of the city.
Tang Rui calmed down, and after a while, he clearly sensed the four heavenly stones, and he shouted softly, "Qi!"
Although they were far apart, the four Heavenly Stones were shining almost at the same time, but these four Heavenly Stones were all buried in a hidden place, and naturally no one saw this light.
Tang Rui's mind is one, running the heavenly stone, there are four strong and incomparably strong vitality surging up on the east, west, north and south, and immediately gathering from the four sides to the center, Tang Rui has learned how to form a light enchantment, chanting the trick in his mouth, quickly forming the seal, Kong Ming also reciting the seal of the trick, helping Tang Rui, the two of them finished sealing, a huge enchantment suddenly appeared in the sky above Asumasu City, this enchantment and the surrounding are integrated, ordinary people can't see it.
Kong Ming saw that the enchantment had been completed, and his heart was at ease.
After a while, a black cloud suddenly floated in the sky, and the black cloud moved extremely fast, and when it got closer, it was clear that it was a person.
Kong Ming looked at the man and sighed, "He is the Soul Emperor of the Master of the Soul Killing Palace. ”
Tang Rui saw that the man was wearing a black robe, with a snow-white skeleton printed on it, the black robe swayed wildly in the wind, the skeleton seemed to be alive, and smiled miserably. The black-robed man's hair was almost completely white, but his eyes were radiant and majestic, and his eyes were overbearing and domineering, and he glanced down at Amaterasu Castle, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, and the sneer was cold, like the laughter of a hellish demon, which sent chills down his spine.
"Black Flame Burial!"
The black-robed man suddenly shouted angrily, and as soon as his words fell, a large and terrifying black flame suddenly appeared in mid-air, and the flames rushed straight down, as if the fire demon that devoured everything was resurrected and killed in Amaterasu City!
