Chapter 230: A Sword Makes Sense
Qi Xuansu strode towards the city wall, "Li Tianlan, come with me!"
At this moment, an iron nail that looked rusty and even bloodstained appeared out of thin air, sharp and angular, three inches long, and pierced directly into Qi Xuansu's chest.
This is the "Holy Nail", one of the artifacts of the Holy See. Unlike the "Shri Sutra", an artifact from the hands of the Apostles of Hell, this is a gift from the supreme will, so it is also called a holy weapon.
In addition to the "Holy Nail", there are also "Holy Grail", "Holy Emblem", "Holy Shroud", "Ark of the Covenant", "Holy Thorn Crown", "Holy Robe", "Holy Pa", "Holy Bone", "Holy Beetle", "Holy Icon", and so on. All of them were named "holy" by the people of the Holy Court.
In fact, Qi Xuansu had also come into contact with similar holy weapons before, such as the "Holy Spear Longinus", also known as the "Spear of Longinus" and "The Spear of Destiny".
The Fallsman of the Cathedral of Mary once summoned the "Longinus" projection.
The "Holy Spear Longinus" is called the "Spear of Destiny", which is different from the "Holy Spear Osiris", which is called the "Spear of Judgment", which is aimed at the body and the former is aimed at the spirit.
Legend has it that "Holy Spear Longinus" was able to divide the souls of others into countless pieces without harming the body, making a soul contract.
It is no secret that Li Tianlan has intersections with Westerners, as early as the second Jiangnan case, he dragged Lei Xiaohuan through Shi Luosi, which is also something that Qi Xuansu personally experienced.
Even Qi Xuansu's martial arts physique couldn't stop the tip of the "Holy Nail", and the entire nail sank into Qi Xuansu's chest.
Because the symbol of the Holy Court is an inverted triangle, there are three holy nails, which correspond to three horns, one of which is fused into the "Iron Crown", which is the authoritative token of the emperor of the Western Continent, and it serves as a proof of the emperor's appointment for the mandate of heaven when he ascends the throne. A person who does not have this crown, even if he becomes an emperor, cannot meet the strict definition, which is equivalent to the "heirloom seal" of the Central Plains. Another one, in order to calm the tsunami, was thrown into the rough sea.
Obviously, this iron nail is the last "holy nail", and it is also the only "holy nail" in the hands of the Holy Court.
Of course, this is not the essence of the "Holy Nail", the priests of the Holy Court are very good at summoning the projection of these so-called holy weapons, and briefly borrowing the power of the holy weapons, so that the holy weapons really become public objects, which is incomparable to the immortals of the Daomen. However, Daomen immortals also have advantages, and they are often more able to take advantage of geographical advantages.
Qi Xuansu stopped and looked at a figure in black.
It was the cardinal deacon who gave the heir.
Don't look at this name is very central, the owner of the name is an authentic Westerner, just like Qi Xuansu also used a Western name when he went to St. York.
This person is also Li Tianlan's old ally, his cultivation is comparable to Lei Xiaohuan, he is at the immeasurable stage of heaven and man, and he is also a saint.
Shi Luosi is different from the steam evangelical priests in the Western Continent, he is from the orthodox Holy Court, so the means are also different, and he does not have a variety of steam transformation and alchemy arcane, and is very good at summoning holy artifact projections.
Qi Xuansu said in a deep voice, "Shi Luohei, last time in the Jiangnan case, you obstructed it, but this time you made another move, do you really dare to do anything to the Daomen?"
Shi Luosi said, "Li Cixi is my friend, and I can't watch my friend suffer and be indifferent. I think there must be some misunderstanding here, and I would like to invite Li Cixi to the church as a guest, and then wait for Jin Que's reply."
Qi Xuansu smiled, "Wait for change? There is no such possibility. On the contrary, Li Tianlan's crime can be added, fornicating with the Holy Court, as the chief deputy hall master of Beichen Hall, this is just within my purview, even if the real person in charge of the hall comes in person, he can't save you."
Li Tianlan's face was gloomy, and his breath was a little fluctuating, obviously he was injured by Qi Xuansu's punch just now.
Qi Xuansu reached out and grabbed the "holy nail" on his chest, and pulled it out suddenly, "Just the two of you, are you trying to stop me?"
With Qi Xuansu's movements, the "Holy Nail" was pulled out alive, no blood flowed, but a series of bright thorns were pulled out, which were completely condensed by brilliance, and as the "Holy Nail" pierced Qi Xuansu's chest, it had already taken root, and at this time, Qi Xuansu pulled out the "Holy Nail", and naturally pulled it out together with the roots.
At the same time, these
The thorns are pervasive, and even gushed out from Qi Xuansu's seven orifices, extending wildly, and even on the surface of the skin, thorns appeared like green tendons bursting out, countless thorns intertwined, completely engulfing Qi Xuansu, and the light reached one, making Qi Xuansu a ball of light that could not be looked at directly.
Shi Luohei was very self-aware, and said to Li Tianlan, "Brother Li, the power of this 'holy nail' can only delay for a moment, and if you can't kill him, let's go first."
Li Tianlan nodded, and was about to leave with Shi Luohei, when Qi Xuansu's voice sounded again, "You can't go anywhere."
The words fell, and the dazzling light suddenly dimmed.
Those thorns condensed by pure brilliance began to wither rapidly, and the "holy nail" held in Qi Xuansu's hand became illusory, turning into points of light and dissipating.
This ends
After all, it is just a projection, not the real "Holy Nail" itself, which can cause a little trouble to Qi Xuansu, but it is not so much trouble.
Shi Luohei's face changed suddenly, and it was very ugly. He had already overestimated Qi Xuansu as much as possible, but he didn't expect to underestimate Qi Xuansu.
The main thing is that Qi Xuansu has just absorbed a piece of "Xuanyu", and he has taken it a step further, although he has not yet stepped through the gate of the pseudo-immortal, he is undoubtedly stronger than before.
Qi Xuansu still had the leisure to say a cold joke: "Li Tianlan, this nail from a Westerner can be regarded as completely nailing your coffin board. Collaborating with the enemy is an unforgivable sin!"
Li Tianlan's face turned pale.
Qi Xuansu continued, "Even if I beat you to death, Qingwei Zhenren can't say anything that is not."
The next moment, Qi Xuansu was going to strike again and take down all these two people.
And what about the representatives of Westerners? As long as the evidence is conclusive, it is also the Holy Court that is to blame, so it is natural to take it all together.
But it seems that someone is destined to compete with Qi Xuansu to the end tonight.
It seems that Qi Xuansu is the eagle dog of the imperial court, and if he wants to come to the door to arrest people, there will always be "righteous people in the rivers and lakes" who will draw their swords to help when they see injustice.
At this moment, a sword broke through the sky and landed between Qi Xuansu and Li Tianlan.
The mighty sword light pierced the sun like a comet, parting the night and scattering the rain clouds, and the tail marks did not disperse for a long time. It's like a ray of light from the sky shining into a dark room where the sun doesn't see the light of day.
A sword is clear?
There is also a bit of momentum to open the sky with a sword.
Li Tianlan and Shi Luosi were both slightly relieved.
They are well-informed people, so they can naturally see the power of this sword, and it is above Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu was not shocked or angry, and did not look at the long sword that had already landed, but looked up at the gap in the night, with his hands behind his back, and he held a colorful feather fan in his hand at some point.
Immediately afterwards, a voice seemed to come from far away, with a gentle voice, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, as if whispering in the ear, but there was a bit of arrogance of going to the east of the great river, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and Chief Qi's cultivation has improved to this point, and he is worthy of being a person on a par with the small national teacher." It's rare to meet today, so you should be a good student and learn it......
Qi Xuansu is no longer very good at saying these arrogances, and his mouth is official, "I don't care who you are, and no matter what background you have, your behavior today is to obstruct law enforcement, openly confront the Daofu, and even confront the Daomen. I will take you down according to the law and hand you over to the judged."
The voice grew closer, "It's a pity
Chief Zhang is not here, and with Chief Qi alone, I'm afraid he is not my opponent."
The two of them are like chickens and ducks, two completely different painting styles.
The night began to shine brightly.
A man in a white robe descended from the sky, surrounded by mist, and if you look closely, it is actually a rich sword qi, gathering and scattering, like countless swimming fish gathering into a group, swimming rapidly.
The person who came turned out to be a pseudo-immortal inherited by a qi refiner.
And he is an acquaintance of Qi Xuansu.
Wu Guangbi, the head of the "Heavenly Court" avenue.
When he was in Nanyang, Wu Guangbi was once hostile to Qi Xuansu, but he was dug out by Madame Bai, and in the end, it was the patriarch of Jin Gong who personally rescued him. In the following days, Qi Xuansu vigorously supported Liu
The Gui faction suppressed Wu Guangbi's faction, which made Wu Guangbi's life very difficult.
If anyone hates Qi Xuansu the most, then Wu Guangbi must be one of them.
Now Wu Guangbi has naturally recovered as before, and his image has changed greatly, no longer the appearance of the god stick in the past, but has changed back to the Central Plains dress, dressed in a white robe, although he has not yet grown his hair, but he wears a Confucian crown, covering most of the eye-catching bald head, which is really a romantic figure. If it weren't for this, Shi Bingyun would not have had a relationship with him back then. Women, one is Mu Qiang, the other is to look at the appearance, as for the character or not, whether it is sincere or not, it is a secondary matter. In terms of appearance alone, Wu Guangbi is quite handsome.
Qi Xuansu's face was expressionless, "Who should I be, it turned out to be the head of Wu Dao, and it is true that Jin Que began to experiment with the policy of normalizing some secret associations, 'The Heavenly Court is indeed among them, but the Jiangnan Provincial Government is not within the scope of the pilot, and it is not in accordance with the rules for you to appear here."
Wu Guangbi smiled and said, "It seems that Chief Qi is official is smooth talk, and every word does not deviate from the rules, but if you tell me the laws and rules, I want to laugh."
Qi Xuansu showed no mercy, "Chief Qi is also your name?" You are not a member of the Dao Sect, and it is not your turn to take the position, you should call me Qi Zhenren."
Rao is clay man also has three points of anger, Qi Xuansu is so faceless, Wu Guangbi finally couldn't hold back, and squinted his eyes, "Qi Xuansu, I just call you by your name, what can you do?" Zhang Yuelu is not here, and you are afraid that you will not be able to use the 'double sword combination' alone."
Qi Xuansu said lightly, "To deal with the three of you, you don't have to 'combine two swords, and you don't have to be Chief Zhang, I'm enough alone."
The words fell, and countless firelights illuminated the night, and it seemed that the Jinling Mansion at this time was not late at night, but at sunset.
A female voice rang out, "Good, good, good, all burned to ashes!"
