Chapter 12: Woe
Li Hao picked up the fourth wooden box, and as soon as he started it, he felt a coldness that penetrated into his skin, which was cold and a little soft, like a snowflake falling in the palm of his hand.
Pushing open the wooden box, what was revealed was a snow-white crystal flower, which was like a snow lotus, but there were only two petals as white as snow, slightly raised, like a pair of white wings.
"Tianyu Snowflake!" As soon as Li Hao opened the wooden box, a voice with surprise sounded in his mind.
Hearing the voice of the thirteenth, Li Hao's heart was shocked, this is the six-grade elixir Tianyu Xuehua? Before this, he had obtained the Aoki Immortal Vine in the Divine Presence Academy, but he didn't expect that in this Black Wind Pavilion, he would inadvertently get the Heavenly Feather Snowflake again.
"This is indeed Tianyu Snowflake, and the medicinal effect is maintained very well, you better hurry up and cover the box, lest the aura dissipate." After calming down the surprise, Thirteen said softly.
Li Hao nodded, covered the box, and Futian Huo next to him also understood when he saw this, "What, what kind of elixir is this, you need it?"
"This is the six-grade elixir Tianyu Snowflake, I really need it very much. Without the consent of the thirteen, Li Hao did not tell Fu Tianhuo about the existence of the thirteen, he smiled slightly and put away the Tianyu snowflake, and then like the latter, he set his eyes on the last wooden box.
The last wooden box looked extremely ordinary, but Li Hao knew that what could be placed in the last place by the Black Cliff would be an ordinary thing.
Gently opened the wooden box, inside it was a brown bamboo slip, the material was extremely ordinary, Li Hao's face was very dignified, he gently uncovered the thin line on the bamboo slip, slowly spread it out, and then, a bloody big character with a little ruthlessness suddenly appeared under the sweep of his gaze, which made his heart jump violently.
Sky Puppet!
Looking at these three blood-colored characters, Li Hao frowned, and then with a slight doubt in his heart, he slowly spread out the bamboo slips, and suddenly, the fine blood-red fonts with a bloodthirsty smell were printed into his eyelids.
"Heavenly puppet, this method is not a spiritual skill, nor a spiritual weapon, but the art of the puppet that has been handed down since ancient times, refining the puppet, you need three conditions: corpse, magic core, driving energy, the puppet that is refined from this, is divided into iron corpse, bronze corpse, silver corpse, and four levels of heavenly corpse, the heavenly puppet has no pain or injury, no joy or sorrow, it is a killing weapon. ”
His eyes slowly swept over the blood-red font on the bamboo slip, and the surprise on Li Hao's face became more and more intense, this so-called puppet technique, he had heard of it for the first time, but he didn't expect it to be so mysterious.
When his gaze shifted from the last blood-red font, Li Hao also let out a long breath, his heart was extremely interested in this so-called "Heavenly Demon Puppet", if he could refine it, he was afraid that there would be one more personal guard around him who was obedient to him.
Shaking his head in amazement, Li Hao handed the bamboo slip to Futianhuo, who took it and took a closer look, and a little surprise also appeared on his face.
"This day magic puppet, I have also heard that the Demon Temple once wanted to refine it in large quantities, but then I don't know what the reason is, and I didn't put this plan into practice, and it is estimated that I encountered some unsolvable difficulties. Fu Tianhuo frowned, "Corpse, it's not difficult to obtain the demon core, but what is this driving energy, Heavenly Demon Puppet, it sounds like a little more lifeless?"
"It's a pity that this guy Black Cliff has no refining spells, but he hasn't refined them yet, otherwise we can try it. Li Hao said, and put away the bamboo slips, although this thing is mysterious, but now it has no use. Moreover, he doesn't have a high-level magic core on his body now.
"Brother, that person has already been refined. Just when Li Hao shook his head and regretted it, Mo'er beside him suddenly raised his head and said.
With a shock in his heart, Li Hao hurriedly bowed down, "Mo'er, did you see anything again?"
"Yes. Mo'er nodded, she lowered her head and seemed to think for a while before continuing, "That person refined it, but he hid it!"
"Hide?" Li Hao and Futianhuo glanced at each other, their eyes were full of joy, and they hurriedly asked, "Where are you hiding?"
"There!" Mo'er raised the Holy Witch Scepter and pointed to a wall behind Li Hao.
Compared with the surrounding walls, this wall is not unique in the slightest, but for Mo'er's words, Li Hao can be said to be convinced, he walked over, and kept knocking on the wall with his hand, and soon, the sound of the empty shell made him and Futianhuo happy.
"Sure enough, there is a mystery in this!" Li Hao smiled slightly, without the slightest hesitation, and his palms were dead and slightly shocked.
Bang!
With a bang, the wall collapsed, and the dust and mist spread in an instant, but Li Hao did not squint his eyes, staring closely at the scene behind the dust, but looking at the things in front of him, even though he had been mentally prepared, he still took a breath of cold air unguardedly.
In front of him, there were two corpses, all of them were dark and iron-colored, each corpse had their eyes closed, and their faces were full of anger and hideousness, even if they didn't make contact, Li Hao could still feel the fierce killing aura coming from these puppets.
"That guy is really generous, he actually killed two five-star spirit kings to refine the puppets!" Even Fu Tianhuo couldn't help but sigh, he waved his hand and removed the two puppets from the dust, "Look at the color, these two spirit-level puppets are only at the level of iron corpses!
"It's definitely that guy's enemy, but now it's cheaper for us. Li Hao walked over with a smile, put his hand on the puppet's arm, and suddenly a cold metal touch came, he frowned, and used the aura, trying to control the puppet, and Futianhuo also carried the death qi at the same time, trying to control the other puppet.
However, after half a ring, Li Hao and Futian Huo both frowned in unison, because no matter how they urged the aura or the death qi, the magic puppet in front of them did not react! In other words, the so-called urging energy in the bamboo slip was neither death qi nor aura.
"No wonder that guy was refining it but hiding, it turned out that he didn't know the art of urging. Fu Tianhuo reluctantly withdrew his hand, but saw that Li Hao was still staring at the Heavenly Demon Puppet, and seemed reluctant to give up, he persuaded, "Forget it, put this thing in the storage bag first, and then study it later." ”
To his surprise, Li Hao shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I have a way." ”
"Oh?" Before Fu Tianhuo could speak, he saw a golden energy diffuse from the former's body, this energy was extremely heavy, but at the same time, it carried a bright and sacred aura, what made Futian Huo shocked was that when this energy was permeated, he actually found that the dead qi and spiritual energy in his body suddenly froze a lot.
What kind of energy is this?
Futian Huo was surprised, and looked at Li Hao's gaze with a little more solemnity, he hadn't seen him for a few months, and there were so many peculiarities about this kid, it seemed that he still underestimated him.
Just when Futian Huo's thoughts were in full swing, that golden qi had slowly seeped into the body of a demon puppet. What shocked him was that with the infiltration of golden qi, the puppet finally reacted, the iron black on the surface of the body began to flicker, and the stiff fingers began to tremble slightly.
"This golden qi is actually the driving energy of the puppet?" Futian Huo's heart was shocked, and at this moment, a fierce killing aura suddenly swept over, he Huo Ran looked at it, and his heart trembled suddenly, because, that puppet, its originally closed eyes, actually opened!
The eyes were completely iron-black, without any feelings and emotions, as if it was like a peerless beast resurrected, such blood and killing, even Futian Huo was terrified.
"Bang!"
At this moment, the puppet moved, it exploded like a cannonball, and the target was Futianhuo!
"You stinky boy, what are you doing?" Fu Tianhuo naturally knew that this was Li Hao manipulating, he scolded, but hurriedly lost his luck again, because the fist of the puppet had already swept towards him with surging energy.
Rumble!
During the fist collision, the puppet flew out upside down as if it had been hit hard, but under this momentum, Fu Tianhuo also took a few steps back, and his arm trembled slightly.
You must know that Futian Huo is a fourth-grade high-level soul master, and he is invincible under the emperor level, but this puppet is so strong that he can repel the former with his ** strength! Of course, their surprise is not over, because after the puppet flew upside down and smashed on the ground, it stood up again, and its fierce aura did not weaken in the slightest.
Futian Huo's punch couldn't do any damage to it!
No pain, no pain, no sorrow or joy, this is really a killing machine!
At this moment, the surprise in Li Hao's heart is indescribable, with these two iron puppets, he is equivalent to having two spirit king-level subordinates, and it is the kind that will never betray, after all, except for him, there may be no one in this world who has golden energy.
"You stinky boy, are you satisfied now, you actually used me as a test!" Seeing that the puppet had no intention of attacking again, Futian Huo finally breathed a sigh of relief and scolded Li Hao.
Li Hao slowly withdrew his golden qi, turned his eyes to look at Futian Huo, and said with a slight smile, "Here, only you have the strength to test." How's it going, how does it feel?"
After listening to Li Hao's explanation, Futian Huo was obviously not really angry, he looked at the puppet whose breath was gradually disappearing with a solemn expression, "Very strong, I am only afraid of the ordinary four- or five-star spirit king, and he is not an opponent at all!
The smile on Li Hao's face became even stronger, "Then what if the two of them go together, are you sure you can win?"
"Two together, can you control two puppets at the same time?" Futian Huo was startled, but seeing that Li Hao was still smiling, his heart was awe-struck for a moment, and he hesitated for a moment and said, "Winning is a win, but the injury and loss will be extremely serious, and then I'm afraid that even if you destroy these two iron puppets, you kid will be able to solve me." ”
His face changed slightly, although he expected the strength of this puppet, Li Hao still didn't expect Futianhuo's evaluation to be so high, so to speak, with these two puppets, he has no opponents under the sect master?
Thinking of this, Li Hao's expression changed, it seems that this trip to the imperial capital, in addition to the thirteenth, has more guarantees around him.
"Alright, boy, don't be complacent, put the two guys away, we should leave too, otherwise the other forces of Sin City will come and it will be difficult to deal with. Seeing Li Hao's sinister look, Fu Tianhuo couldn't help but remind.
Hearing this, Li Hao didn't say anything more, put the two puppets into the storage bag, and then the two of them went to the warehouse to collect and scrape around, and after collecting all the valuable elixir and spiritual skills, their figures flashed and came out of the Black Wind Pavilion.
"How about it, do you want to leave Sin City directly now?" After leaving the Black Wind Pavilion, shuttling through the crowd, Fu Tianhuo suddenly asked.
Li Hao nodded, now that they have destroyed the entire Black Wind Pavilion, and killed the Young Master of the Blood Gate, the Great Elder of the Thousand Swords Sect, it is equivalent to forming an enmity with the top forces of Sin City, and this Sin City will not be able to stay. What's more, he doesn't have much time to stay here now, after all, the "Tiangang Spirit" mentioned in Bushan River Estuary is coming, and Li Hao still has some expectations for the miracle reincarnation space.
Thinking of this, a pure and poignant face appeared in his mind unconsciously, as well as the sentence "I will always wait for you", Li Hao clenched his fists, and the corners of his mouth outlined a sneer, "Out of Sin City, go directly to the imperial capital, don't linger any longer, I have something urgent." ”
"Well, let's go. Fu Tianhuo didn't ask much, but his figure flashed, and he shuttled directly to the exit of Sin City, and Li Hao also picked up Mo'er when he saw this, and hurriedly followed.
Fu Tianhuo had obviously been in Sin City for a long time, so under his leadership, they did not encounter too many difficulties in leaving Sin City, and when the figures of several people completely disappeared into Sin City, at this moment, the city fell into chaos, and shocking news began to erupt in Sin City.
The Black Wind Pavilion, one of the three major forces in the city, was bloodied, and the Black Cliff, the young master of the Blood Gate, the Great Elder of the Thousand Swords Sect, and all his subordinates who auctioned off the top five powerhouses of the Sin City, were all missing, and even the bodies were not found.
All of this caused panic in the Sin City, especially when the Blood Gate and the Thousand Swords Sect fought to find the murderer in the city, and after the implementation of the policy of killing a thousand by mistake rather than letting one go, the entire city was completely shrouded in a layer of haze.
At this moment, in the Black Wind Pavilion, which was already in disarray, in the warehouse that was emptied by Li Hao and Futianhuo, there were two groups of people around.
The group of people on the left, the middle-aged people led by them have a bloody breath, and there is an eight-point resemblance to the blood between their eyebrows, which is obviously the blood of the master of the Blood Gate, and the leader of the group of people on the right is an old man with a gloomy face, holding a blood-stained butcher's knife in his hand, thinking that it is the ruler of the Thousand Swords Sect, Thousand Swords.
Blood Wuchou squatted down, picked up some gravel on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "These stones have been completely shattered into powder, old man, it seems that the cultivation of these guys is not low." ”
"Definitely a strong man at the level of the Spirit King. Qiandao's expression was gloomy, "If it weren't for that, how could we bloody the Black Wind Pavilion?" I guess that the disappearance of the Black Cliff people must have been caused by them. It seems that whether it is Ling Lang or the great elder of this sect, they are all more auspicious!"
Blood Innocent's face became extremely ugly in an instant, and the aura on his body rioted, "If I find the murderer, I will definitely break them into pieces!"
"Don't worry, the Blood Gate Master, according to the old man's investigation, this whole incident should be caused by the auction of the Black Wind Pavilion. Compared to the blood feud, Qiandao is obviously much older, he looked behind him, and then a subordinate came over with a piece of paper, "Blood Sect Master, this is the list of participants in the auction this time, and the old man has already asked someone to investigate clearly." ”
"Oh?" Blood Heavenly Feud took the paper, only to see that there were hundreds of names densely written on it, he frowned, and then a cruel sneer appeared on his face, "Since that's the case, then kill all these people!"
"No, no, no!" Thousand Blades shook his head, "Most of these people are high-level leaders of the mid-tier forces in Sin City, and if we want to make a big move, it will cause public outrage, and in the end, we will only end up losing both, and even you and I will not be able to bear it." , so this matter has to be considered in the long run. ”
Obviously, Blood Heavenly Feud also knew Qiandao's character very well, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "What can I do then? Could it be that Qianlao has a clue?"
"Of those hundreds, there are eight whose names have never appeared in Sin City, and among these eight, two are extremely suspicious, because they have not only obtained some precious auction items, but also have some conflicts with Ling Lang. ”
"I have already investigated the mysterious black-clothed man, he obtained the Holy Witch Scepter, and disappeared mysteriously under the pursuit of a group of strong men, and there is no news about him at all," Blood Heavenly Feud also calmed down and asked, "Besides him, I don't know who the other person Qian Lao said is?"
A thousand knives approached, their wizened fingers resting on one of the names on the list.
"Xiuyun?" Blood Heavenly Feud frowned, "This name is very raw!"
Thousand Blades nodded, "Of course, because this person is not from Sin City at all, he only entered Sin City two days ago. ”
"Oh?" a chill flashed in Blood Heaven's eyes, "Then where did he come from?" ”
"The old man has already investigated," Qiandao's face also had infinite killing intent, and his voice was gloomy and low, "This person is from Huangsha City!"
"Huangsha City?" Blood Heavenly Feud was stunned, "A small mercenary city, the strongest is only a low-level spirit king, how can it be possible to kill Black Cliff and the others." ”
"Not necessarily!" Thousand Dao shook his head, "Hasn't the Blood Gate Lord heard the shocking rumors about Huangsha City a while ago?"
"What rumors?"
"Just a few months ago, the second mercenary group of Huangsha City, the Nanban Mercenary Group, invited a peak spirit general, in a vain attempt to exterminate the Hansha mercenary group and replace it, originally with the strength of their two peak spirit generals, it was enough to do it, but at a critical time, a young man appeared, killed the Southern Barbarian Wild with the strength of one person, and finally helped the Hansha Mercenary Group to exterminate the entire Nanban Mercenary Group!"
"Young man?" Blood Heavenly Feud was stunned for a moment, and then said in a dark voice, "This Xiuyun is also a young man, right?"
"Yes, so there's a good chance they're the same person!"
"I see, Elder Qian is really scheming!' Blood Heavenly Feud sneered, "Since that's the case, then it's good to directly send troops to exterminate the Hansha Mercenary Group!"
"No, no, no!" Qian Dao shook his head, "Mercenaries are protected by the Mercenary Alliance, if we non-mercenaries get involved in the fight between them without permission, and then anger the Mercenary Alliance, there will definitely be a lot of trouble, so this matter has to be considered in the long run!"
Hearing this, Blood Heavenly Hatred's expression flickered, and the killing intent on his body weakened a lot, obviously the mercenary alliance in the mouth of the Thousand Blades had caused him great pressure.
"Don't worry about the Blood Gate Master, as long as the target is determined, the old man will not believe that a small mercenary group cannot be destroyed!" Thousand Blades looked in the direction of Huangsha City, "Since the Southern Barbarian Mercenary Group and the Cold Sand Mercenary Group have a common enmity, we can make good use of this!"
Blood Heavenly Hatred's expression changed, and he immediately turned gloomy, "Qianlao's plan is excellent!" His bloodshot eyes also looked at Huangsha City, and said in a low voice, "The master of this sect doesn't believe it, last time he saved the Hansha mercenary group, this time I killed all the people in this mercenary group, he won't appear!" (To be continued.) )
