Chapter 38: The Human Heart
Black City, outside the City Lord's Mansion.
Feeling the sharp pain and itching coming from his left shoulder, the expression of the big brother of heaven was distorted, and he yelled towards the city tower: "Hurry up and open the door, I have something urgent to see the city lord!" ”
Hearing the shouts of the eldest brother of the celestials, a guard poked his head out of the battlement of the castle tower.
He wanted to interrogate him routinely, but when he saw that the other party's chest did not show his lifespan, he said respectfully: "Please wait for a while, two adults." ”
The status of heaven and man is noble.
When they entered the City Lord's Mansion, they did not need to be interrogated or make any reports.
After a while, the guard trotted down the city tower and opened the gate of the city lord's mansion for the celestial brothers....
Unlike other human settlements.
The lord of Heicheng City was not a foundation building or a Jindan monk, but a celestial who looked to be in his early forties.
At this moment.
The city lord of Heicheng was lying on a couch, enjoying the various services of the four maids beside him.
Seeing that the Celestial Brothers were here, the Black City City Lord frowned and said, "Haowu, what's the matter with your arm?" Did you get into a fight with your kind? ”
"It's not."
The eldest brother of the celestials, Hao Wu, said with a solemn expression: "The secret of the 'flesh and blood mushroom' was discovered by a Qi refining period monk in the city, and my arm was cut off by that person. ”
"Qi cultivation period cultivator?"
The city lord exclaimed, "You mean, it was the enhancement of the 'flesh and blood mushroom' that injured you like this?" ”
"Not bad."
The eldest brother of the celestial man responded: "After the monk ate the mushroom, his consciousness could still remain awake, but I didn't pay attention to it, and I was injured like this by him." ”
"How is this possible?"
The city lord said in disbelief: "A mere Qi cultivation period cultivator, even if you resist the spiritual pollution of mushrooms and your body is strengthened, you will not be able to kill you..."
"This time it's different."
Haowu replied: "That monk ate five or six mushrooms in a row, far from being comparable to the previous few times. ”
"How did you eat so much at once, and you haven't gone crazy yet?"
Hearing this, the city lord suddenly stood up from the bed: "Are you sure it's just a monk, not a celestial?" ”
"That's a monk indeed."
Haowu added: "In addition, the other party can also turn his body into a translucent state, but he is not afraid of the hilt, and can even pass directly through the wall." ”
"Turning the body translucent?"
After listening to the description of the eldest brother of the celestials, the city lord began to pay attention: "Eighty percent of the monks came from other places, and they also have a certain background. ”
"What then? Shall we go and make peace with the monk? ”
"There's no need."
The city lord said decisively: "We will directly arrest the monk, abolish his hands and feet, and then use torture to force him to find out all the secrets he knows!" ”
"The lord of the city is wise!"
"Don't talk nonsense, where is the monk hiding now?"
"Don't worry, Lord of the City, that monk has been tied with black thread by my two brothers, and it will be easy to find."
Inside the hall of the Castle Lord's Mansion.
Just as the Celestial Brothers were talking to the City Lord, a voice sounded from the corner: "Who said I was going to hide, is it necessary for me to hide?" ”
The one who said this was Su Xing, who chased all the way along the black line.
Su Xing originally planned to hide for a while longer.
Maybe he'll be able to find out more.
But when Su Xing was hiding, the negative impact of the 'flesh mushroom' had become more and more visible.
The whispers from the Spirit grew louder and louder.
Although the whispering voice was intangible and substantial, Su Xing could feel it very really, and this voice had been trying to penetrate into his mind, and even manipulate his entire consciousness.
If it continues to drag on like this, it will not do Su Xing any benefit.
To solve the current predicament, he must strike with the power of thunder and force the celestials to tell the secret of the 'flesh mushroom'.
in the hall.
Seeing that Su Xing's expression was strange, and the whole person couldn't even stand steadily, the city lord immediately guessed the reason.
He said tentatively, "What's the matter, you're about to die of being tortured by that voice, right?" ”
Su Xing patted the storage bag on his waist, held the Qingxiao Sword in his hand, and said with a cruel smile: "It doesn't matter if I can do it or not, anyway, don't think about it." ”
After Su Xing took out the long sword, he didn't dare to have the slightest ink, and the whole person rushed directly in the direction of the city lord and the heavenly brothers.
Whether it was the whispering sound in his ears, or the other monks and celestials in the City Lord's Mansion, who might come to support him at any time.
These factors made Su Xing dare not delay in the slightest.
As soon as his whole body flashed, he had already rushed in front of the Celestial Brother, and decisively swung the long sword in his hand.
The eldest brother of the Celestial Man had been cut off by Su Xing before, and he was seriously injured at the moment, so he was the best one of the three of them to deal with.
"Humph!"
Seeing Su Xing bully forward, the city lord of Heicheng on the side would not let him succeed.
He tapped the storage bag on his waist and took out a long knife to easily block Su Xing's blow.
Meanwhile.
During the battle between the city lord and Su Xing, those celestials and monks who were working in the city lord's mansion also rushed to the hall one after another.
It may be that they have also swallowed the 'flesh and blood mushroom', and most of these celestial people have the same strength as a Qi cultivation period cultivator.
Among them, there are a small number of celestial beings, even to a level comparable to the monks of the foundation building period.
If these people are allowed to form a circle, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Seeing that there were more and more people gathered in the hall, Su Xing simply rushed forward with the city lord's long knife, and at this moment, he turned on the state of 'transformation'.
The 'Transformation' state does not have any entity, and the city lord's knife is directly slashed into the air.
Seeing this, Su Xing seized the opportunity, immediately switched back to the physical form, and slashed a sword at the city lord with his backhand.
Su Xing's state of 'transformation' was too unexpected, and the city lord was careless, and he was also cut off an arm.
Under the pain, he no longer dared to fight with Su Xing, so he quickly retreated.
After witnessing the process of Su Xing's fight with the city lord of the Black City, for a while, no one in the hall dared to step forward to test Su Xing's edge.
When the celestials oppressed the weak in the black city, or exploited mortals and low-level immortal cultivators, they basically colluded and united with the outside world.
But today, when they encountered Su Xing's hard stubble, they were not as united as in the past.
Most of the celestial people are in high positions and have always been pampered.
Not to mention a broken arm and leg, even a small injury is enough to make them hesitate and hesitate for a long time.
in the hall.
The Black City Lord glanced around with his peripheral vision.
Seeing that no one was willing to come to his aid, he promised: "As long as someone can kill this monk, I will give him two hundred spirit stones, ten catties of thorn lizard meat, and ten servants!" ”
According to the regulations, even if the celestials are not working, they can receive five spirit stones every month in the City Lord's Mansion.
In addition, most of the celestials are seeking an official and a half-position in the city lord's mansion, and they can use their positions to make some oil and water....
So.
Since they were already able to live well every month, why did people risk going against the Soviets that day?
It's not even just the onlookers who eat melons.
The Celestial Brothers, who originally planned to step forward to help the fist, immediately hid quietly in the crowd after seeing that the city lord had been cut off by Su Xing.
Meanwhile.
Su Xing once again raised his sword and attacked the city lord, and cut off the other arm's other arm with a sword.
The latter wailed, and the whole person fell directly to the ground, and said with a distorted expression: "You don't kill me?" ”
Su Xing didn't respond to the city lord, just looked around.
He actually began to appease the rest of the celestials: "Don't worry, I will never kill people here, I just want to ask the city lord a few questions, and after asking questions, I will leave the black city directly, and promise not to come back!" ”
Hearing Su Xing say this, the celestials were even more reluctant to make a move against Su Xing.
Everyone showed an expression of watching the play, and always kept a certain distance from the city lord and Su Xing.
