Chapter 13: The Collapse of the City

A bolt of lightning slashed across the sky like a fellow prisoner's broadsword, and the thunder that followed was like the fierce wail of a prisoner before he died.

The guards on the city walls took refuge under the eaves of the arrow tower to take shelter from the rain.

The guard wiped the rain from his armor and said, "I really want to go to the tavern for a drink or two in this weather." ”

"Looks like someone is coming." Another guard pointed not far beyond the city walls.

The man walked slowly to the city gate in the torrential rain.

"Anyone is still in the city at this late hour?"

Then the guard walked to the wall and shouted to the man in the rain, "Hey, who are you?" Quote your name. ”

In the middle of the night, the people in the rain did not respond, only the sound of crackling rain.

"Let's go down and have a look."

Two guards descended the walls and opened the gates.

Panxiao City is not located at the intersection of the borders with other countries, and there is only one person outside, so the guards are not very vigilant.

Click-

The heavy gates opened.

Two guards approached the man.

"This! Seeing the man's appearance, the guard was dumbfounded.

The man in front of him was in rags, the flesh on his sparse bald head was turned outward, and his right eye was still drooping.

This man only had dark red blood stains on his clothes, and the wounds on his body did not bleed, just a piece of white flesh, perhaps washed away by the rain? Or is the blood already dry? In short, it is a miracle that this man made it this far.

"What's wrong with you? Was it attacked by a beast or someone? Another kind-hearted guard hurried forward to help.

"Wait...", a trilling voice came from behind him.

"Take a closer look at who he is!" The guard's hand was already touching the handle of the sword, and the other pointed to the bald man's face.

"Who is it?" The kind-hearted guard moved his gaze to the bald man's face.

"Master Qinfu?!" The Xinshan guard instantly weakened his legs and sat down on the ground, "This can't be! He's dead! ”

The dead corpse Qin Ding suddenly pounced on the guard behind him.

The guard retreated half a step, pressed his left hand on the handle of the sword, drew his sword neatly, and stabbed towards Qin Ding's heart.

The blade of the sword passed through Qin Ding's heart, but he didn't feel the pain at all, he took three steps forward and pounced on the guard, the guard was thrown to the ground, Qin Ding bit the guard's face, and half of the guard's face was torn off by Qin Ding.

The Kind-Hearted Guard got up to help, and just then there was another thunderclap.

The moment the thunder illuminates the heavens and the earth, one, two, three, four... There were too many people to see one after another from the woods, the grass, and the sides of the road!

No! It's not human, they're no longer human at all, they're all the same as Qin Ding, they're dead corpses that have come to life!

"City Gate!" The guard looked at the gates, "Close the gates!" ”

He ran to the city gate, but it was too late, and the corpses behind him rushed at great speed.

This torrent of death swallowed him up in an instant.

Not only here, but the West Gate, South Gate, and North Gate have all fallen!

"There's an enemy attack!"

Knock knock!!

The alarm bells rang violently.

There was a panic in the city, and the guards in the city rushed to the city lord's mansion to assemble.

At the same time, in the City Lord's Mansion-

"What's going on?" The lord of the castle walked outside the door and asked the guards who had arrived outside.

The guards did not respond to the city lord.

Take a closer look at the guard's face, which is bloody and bloody.

"What's wrong with you?" The city lord asked again, and the guards pounced directly on the city lord.

Fortunately, the guards behind the city lord were quick to move, and they drew their knives and cut off the heads of the guards, and their heads fell to the ground and rolled around a few times, their eyes were still staring, and their mouths were still clucking and biting the air.

"Is it alchemy? Oops! The lord of the castle ran to the house.

Alchemy, one of the forbidden techniques that has long been lost, is said to have been developed by the warlocks of the Bishu Kingdom more than a hundred years ago, and there was a ghoul rebellion at that time, but it was finally pacified, of course, the cost was very high, detonating the city protection array to destroy the city, and hundreds of thousands of people in a city were all turned into ashes.

City gates.

The green-robed man slowly walked into the city after the group of ghouls, looked at the bloody Panxiao City that was wailing everywhere, and muttered, "Father, do you see it?" I have avenged you. ”

He walked straight towards the City Lord's Mansion, step by step like death gradually spreading.

Later, the city lord died, and the enchantment began, and Qin Zheng and dozens of survivors hid in the crypt under the Nine Heavens Casino.

......

Time comes back to the present.

Qiu Xiao's face was solemn, and he asked Qin Zheng: "Is the string of beads that the green-robed man gave you still there?" ”

Qin Zheng recalled: "I hung on the branch of the old locust tree. ”

Fat Dun Haiyue interjected and asked, "Is that one in Lao Huai Lane?" ”

Qin Zheng nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

Qiu Xiao stood up and said, "Okay, you guys are waiting here, I'll come back to rescue you after I catch the blue-robed man, I promise." ”

Qin Zheng was surprised: "What? You're going to catch the blue-robed man? ”

Qiu Xiao: "Yes, that's what we're here for." As he spoke, Qiu Xiao turned his head to look at the falcon.

Falcon stood aside and said, "It's not just the two of us, but three of our teammates are out there. ”

Qin Zheng asked the two of them and said, "Are you sure?" When the lord of the city was killed by the blue-robed man, he was like an ant and had no power to resist. ”

Qiu Xiao said confidently: "You don't have to worry about this, we have our own way." ”

After saying that, the two set off again, and went down the crypt to the underground of Panxiao City.

On the mountain road leading to Panxiao City, the three of them walked together.

"Why haven't you seen a single ghoul all the way?" The white wolf was a little puzzled, and the silence along the way was a little terrifying.

Xuelu responded: "Isn't this good? Do you want to be chased by ghouls? ”

The bull thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because you're wandering at the border of the circle and want to break through the formation." ”

Soon, the three of them had already walked to the back hill of Panxiao City, and the three of them overlooked the dilapidated Panxiao City.

It's lonely.

The brute bull took out the spirit square and looked at it, and the red dot was still in the position he had seen earlier.

"Let's go down the mountain first and find out what is going on." The brute bull ordered.

In Panxiao City, Laohuai Lane.

The green-robed man sat under the locust tree with a square metal artifact and studied it.

"The magic circle set up by the human race is really hard to break!"

The patience of the blue-robed man was gradually exhausted, and he had been trapped in the formation for two weeks, and the formation could not be broken for a long time.

The five of them had already arrived at Jiuxiao Casino to meet and reconcile, and then followed Qiu Xiao to Laohuai Lane.

A few people hid on the eaves and saw the green-robed man under the locust tree.

The green-robed man sat on the edge of the locust tree, as if he was studying something, very focused.

The brute bull quietly ordered.

"Prepare the Five Elements Locking Spirit Array."

The bull is wood, the white wolf is the earth, the snow deer is the water, the falcon is gold, and the hill is fire.

The Five Elements Lock Spirit Array, a small magic circle that requires at least five people to cast, the spiritual power connection of five people can make the spiritual strength of the enemy within the circle be sharply reduced by fifty, but the formation is more demanding, requires a very high degree of tacit understanding, and there is a fatal flaw, except for the fire caster, the other four people cannot attack or defend during the casting process, so this array is very fragile and easy to be broken, and the fire caster has been extremely fast to defeat the enemy in the array.

The five of them scattered, and they appeared in the four positions of the southeast, northwest, and north, as for Qiu Xiao, he was the heart of the formation, and he needed to wait for the formation to activate and then enter the formation to attack the blue-robed man, so he was now standing next to the falcon for the time being.

They put their hands together on top of their heads, activating the spiritual power in their bodies to trigger the Five Elements Locking Spirit Array.

The chains of spiritual power turned into quickly stretched out, closely connecting the spiritual power in the five people's bodies.

"It's now!"

"Up!"

Qiu Xiao shook the scabbard, the sword flew out, stretched out his left hand and grabbed the hilt of the sword, turned it around and killed the man in the green robe.

The green-robed man sitting under the locust tree suddenly felt murderous intent, and opened his eyes suddenly, only to see a young man dressed in black rushing towards him with a sword.

"Bold!"
