Chapter 8 Red on the Snow VIII

When Ye Qingxue left from Shilang's Mansion, it was already the middle of the night.

The pavilions in front of her quickly retreated, and she leaped forward in the night, her clothes fluttering, past the houses, and over the high walls.

When her face appeared again from the moonlight, the black scarf that had covered her face had been thrown somewhere, but a layer of fine and crystal sweat oozed from her smooth forehead, and her complexion, which had always been calm, looked a little pale at this time.

The three thousand green silk were wet with sweat and a little messy.

The Red Cavalry is the Red Cavalry after all, and it is a rare elite in the Great Xia army, responsible for guarding Kyoto. If you want to deal with such an opponent in an instant, especially those crossbow-wielding soldiers who are hidden in the shadows, it is impossible not to consume a lot of soul power.

She felt a little tired.

So when the fluttering pale yellow rune paper fell from the night sky and landed in front of her, she didn't even notice it in the first place.

When she felt a strange trace of hot breath in the air, the dense runes on the rune paper had already begun to emit a faint halo.

Ye Qingxue's eyes were cold, and a strong warning sign rose in her heart.

The faint halo that was rising from the rune paper, mixed with terrifying soul power fluctuations, cracked in just one breath, the rune paper shattered, and a blazing and bright flame ignited in the night sky.

With a loud bang, the flames burst in the air, and a circle of fiery power swung out.

Although the timing of discovering this fire talisman was a moment late, after all, it was discovered before the formation on the rune paper was activated, Ye Qingxue suddenly turned around in mid-air before the fire exploded, raised his hands, shocked, and his body fell violently, falling into an alley, and in this way, he avoided being burned by the flames.

The talisman fire is not an ordinary fire, it contains the true essence of the soul power of the caster, and once it is hit, even she will be extremely traumatized.

However, the soul power in that rune was too powerful, and even though she had already reacted and was not directly injured by the flames, she was still injured by the later shock. As soon as she landed, she almost failed to stand firmly, and her feet were weak and she was about to fall, but fortunately, she was quick and held on to a dead tree next to her, so she did not fall to the ground.

After this blow, her face became more and more pale, her qi became a little disordered, and many of the robes on her body were slightly burned.

A soft sound sounded in the depths of the alley, which seemed a little surprised.

"It's just that this fire talisman used up thirty percent of my true yuan, I didn't expect you to be only slightly injured, it's really amazing, even I began to feel surprised. ”

A middle-aged man in an earthy yellow robe walked out of the alley, looked at Ye Qingxue with a surprised expression, and whispered in his mouth: "Could it be that there is a problem with the position of the cloth talisman? Well, it must be so! In that case, what about this trick?"

The middle-aged man turned out to be an ordinary and rare formation master, and he was a relatively rare talisman among the formation masters!

It was impossible for him to know that Ye Qingxue would definitely pass by here and ambush here in advance, and the only reasonable explanation was that this person had been following her side, always looking for a suitable next opportunity.

In the battle with the red horse, a lot of true yuan was consumed, and there was no one around at this time, this is the most suitable time and place to start.

Ye Qingxue watched the other party take a deep breath, a faint halo appeared on the surface of her body, knowing that it was a symbol of the gathering of a large amount of soul power, she didn't think much about it, and immediately retreated backwards.

While her figure floated behind, she did not forget to shake the long knife in her hand and sent out several knife intents forward.

The sword intent is sharp, and it meets the rune paper in mid-air.

And then it exploded.

It was still a fire talisman, but this time it was a three-way rune, and it was even more powerful than before, so that in the darkness of the long alley, a blazing pillar of fire that was several people tall instantly rose, burning out the sword intent, and then it seemed to devour everything around it!

The pillar of fire set off a powerful wave of qi, and Ye Qingxue retreated again and again, but no matter how fast her body was, she couldn't speed up the speed of that qi wave, and she was immediately knocked upside down and flew out.

The pillar of fire burned in the alley, slowly began to have an outline, and finally turned into a huge fire dragon that rose in the night sky, opening its huge mouth and biting Ye Qingxue.

It's just that although her face was illuminated by the firelight, and even looked extremely pale, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she had no fear.

This powerful array master made her feel the threat of death, and of course she didn't want to die yet, but that didn't mean she was afraid of death.

A knife.

Two knives.

Three knives.

Countless knives slashed out, swept up a fierce wind, and rose in front of the flames.

The blazing talisman was raging, intersecting with the wind blade, sparks flying all over the sky, and the true yuan of the two cultivators stirred in the night of Xuanyang City.

The middle-aged man looked at the frenzied sparks in the air and the wanton sputtering sparks, and nodded in satisfaction, as if admiring a rare masterpiece. He didn't use his most powerful means, because he didn't want to kill the other party in the first place, but wanted to get some information from the girl.

Who is she?

Who is the surname, where does it come from, where does the teacher come from, and what is the purpose of coming to Xuanyang?

He wanted to know all of this.

for he is a man of God's overseer.

As a formation master of the Divine Imperial Prison, he stumbled upon this girl while investigating another case, and instinctively sensed that this person wanted to do something in Xuanyang City. So he has been secretly following her, just waiting for the other party to take it when he makes a move, and he can be regarded as a meritorious achievement.

It's just that he didn't expect that if this person didn't make a move, it would be a big case like assassinating the squire of the criminal department.

In addition to being stunned, he was also a little happy, and finally let himself catch a big fish.

Yes, he thinks that it is impossible for someone who can commit such a big case to just have a little girl in the distraction realm, behind her, it is very likely that there is some big force hidden, and it is even possible that this person belongs to the Tianluo organization that the Divine Imperial Prison has been tracking down for many years.

He was satisfied, so he was somewhat happy, and then he forgot one thing, so he made a mistake.

Unlike cultivators who use weapons, the formation master needs to consume a large amount of true yuan when setting up the formation, especially for a rune like him, the soul power required to activate the formation talisman is very huge. Therefore, the vast majority of formation masters gave up tempering their bodies with soul power from the beginning of the body refining realm, and instead used all their energy to expand their sea of consciousness to store more soul power and true yuan.

In other words, the power of the formation is powerful, but the body of the formation master is very fragile.

People like them should not have given the enemy a chance to get close in the first place.

He had forgotten about it, and even that his opponent was a Distraction Realm cultivator who could manipulate Horcrux exorcisms to fly. This is a very absurd and ridiculous mistake.

So when he felt the cold killing intent sweeping from behind him, his fingers suddenly stiffened, and his eyes showed deep fear.

He let out a loud shout, and more than a dozen paper talismans floated out of his sleeve.

The talismans were scattered in front of him, floating in mid-air, and the lines on the paper were about to start to activate.

However, he woke up too late after all.

Under the fright, how could the speed of the talisman activation be faster than a flying sword?

No, it's a throwing knife.

When the flying knife that was originally tied to the side of Ye Qingxue's leg passed through his throat, the fear in his eyes disappeared, and all that was left was unwillingness.

Without the caster's control of the talisman's soul power, those talismans fell to the ground before they could be activated, turning into a pile of useless pieces of paper.

When each formation rune was made, except for the formation master himself, only those who left a soul power imprint somewhere in the rune could be activated, so they were useless to Ye Qingxue.

The flames burned out, and there was still a hint of heat in the air.

Ye Qingxue stood up, glanced at the already dead formation master, and then saw the emblem on the other party's hand, and instantly understood where this person came from.

It turned out that she had already been targeted by the people of the Divine Imperial Prison, and before that, she had always thought that she had hidden herself well enough in Xuanyang that no one was aware of her existence.

The indifferent face finally changed somewhat, and it was a wry smile of unknown meaning.

Ye Qingxue threw away the long knife in her hand and melted into the night again.

With such a fierce collision of True Yuan, and the death of a formation master from the Divine Imperial Prison, everything that happened here must have alarmed some of the big people in Xuanyang City.

She was seriously injured, and those fiery talismans invaded her sea of consciousness and the veins of her whole body, and they could not be calmed down for a short time, and even the cool night breeze could not give her any comfortable feeling. At this time, she was no longer able to face any cultivator in the Distraction Realm.

She swept through the night, a little bright red spilling from the corners of her mouth. Because of the shock of the sea, the vision began to become a little blurred, and those lifeless high-walled pavilions became faintly a little hideous.

I haven't experienced this feeling in years.

When was the last time?

She couldn't remember.

For so many years, she has only practiced for revenge, lived for revenge, neglected many things, and never paid attention to the people or things around her again.

She has traveled many places, but she still only remembers the only fire in her heart.

The fire of revenge.

The fire could not give her any warm feelings, for there was a snow in her heart, and it seemed that it would never end.

No one noticed the faster and faster shadows in the cold moonlight.

Ye Qingxue felt that her soul had cracked, she just wanted to leave the city in the shortest possible time, so she had already used all her strength to run, and she didn't even notice the direction.

She just realized that she had gone far, far away, but she didn't know where she was at this moment.

The city......

It's really too big, too big.

Why can't such a big city accommodate a lonely girl?

The last trace of soul power in Zhihai was finally exhausted, her feet were empty, and her body fell to the ground.

The moment she fell down, she seemed to see the lights in the distance, the leaves of the sycamores, and the stars twinkling in the distance.

Blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, falling on the placket of her clothes, dripping away, like plum blossoms blooming in the cold winter snow.

It seemed like a long time, and it seemed like it was just a brief moment, and she fell to the ground on her back.

It seems that someone is also being heard.

She wanted to struggle to her feet, but she couldn't do it at the moment.

She heard footsteps, coming towards her, the voice was soft, the steps were steady, it should be a young man.

Or a teenager?

For some reason, she suddenly remembered the boy she had met at the night market. At that time, she heard the young man's emotion and saw the other party's appearance, but she had long forgotten it at this time.

Is it really that good to be alive?

The next moment, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at the girl who was injured and fell to the ground, the girl who heard the sound stood by the wall of her own courtyard, bowing her head and muttering something. After thinking about it for a while, he still decided that he couldn't watch her die.

Such a beautiful person should always live like a flower.

This is the first time Xiao Xuan and Ye Qingxue met, it was not beautiful, but it was a little unforgettable.
