Chapter 179: Necromantic Magic
Mingdu, the Imperial Palace.
The time was when the Ice Emperor had just won the Nangong Bowl.
Xu Lanqing stood in the back garden, in front of which was the palace complex, brightly lit.
Next to him were only Xiaobai and Zheng Zhan, and there was no one else except for the first time, all of whom were sent to the Royal Research Institute by Xu Lanqing.
A glorious imperial city was as quiet as death at this time, and there were usually patrolling guards and some palace maids and the like, but now there was not even a shadow to be seen.
The increasingly oppressive atmosphere seemed to merge with the heavenly night, and a deeper darkness was about to envelop the earth.
To be honest, Xu Lanqing was still very surprised that Xu Tianran would choose to do it directly.
Anyone who knows Xu Tianran a little knows that he has never left the palace since he was killed and his legs were amputated, and he did not give up in the face of a desperate situation, and secretly accumulated strength to bring down the eldest prince.
Forbearing, cautious, suspicious, and absolutely heroic.
It makes sense to think that he is doing it now.
With the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor by his side, in the eyes of outsiders, it means that the support of the Far North is the backer, and it is difficult to calm Xu Tianran, so it is not surprising that he will choose to strike first.
Unexpected, reasonable.
His mind was full of thoughts, and behind his hands, a steady stream of gray air flowed down from his palms like a river, blending into the ground without attracting anyone's attention, including Xiao Bai and Zheng Zhan standing in front of him.
As early as after Xu Tianzhen came over to tell him about Xu Tianran, he was already preparing to take precautions.
He won't completely trust his safety on others, if he is accidentally caught by Xu Tianran, the fate waiting for him can be imagined.
Even if the Snow Emperor was desperate to avenge him in the end, he would have died a long time ago.
It was a large-scale undead magic, or rather an undead enchantment, that enveloped the entire palace and even extended three hundred meters outward.
The effect, of course, the Undead Enchantment summons the undead, do you still expect its pathetic physical defense effect?
However, there must be some bits and pieces of additional status that can be used to enhance the summoned undead.
Such a large and strong undead magic was naturally not done by him alone, most of it was constructed by Electrolux, and Xu Lanqing repaired a corner.
It's like a full-level boss in the game who takes him to fight the boss, and the boss hacks the boss to death with a knife, and he is responsible for cleaning the battlefield and picking up equipment afterwards.
It's the same with him or not.
And Electrolux is the full-level boss, and his soul has now recovered to a considerable point after the continuous nourishment of two pieces of Soul Gold and the Eyes of Ice and Fire.
"Your Highness, will the Third Prince really send someone here? This is a felony of rebellion, and there is no way back if you make a move. ”
Zheng Zhan couldn't help it, he found out, Since following Xu Lanqing, he hasn't encountered anything good, he was hunted down and killed before, and now he is rebelling in the palace, this is the palace!
"It stands to reason that with his character, it shouldn't be."
"You're not him, how do you know what he thinks?"
Xu Lanqing withdrew his palm, he just strengthened the undead enchantment a little, :
"Besides, even if he doesn't come, I'll come to the door and think of me for what? Public toilets? Come if you want, leave if you want, and shitch me before leaving? ”
“…… All right. ”
Zheng Zhan's expression was indifferent, as if this was not a major rebellion, but as ordinary as eating and drinking as usual.
Nonsense, he's seen all the bigger scenes, and this little thing, it's drizzling.
I have to say, the habit is terrible.
"Then why don't you hide for a while, and wait for the Snow Emperor to come back and then confront him?"
Zheng Zhan said puzzledly: "After all, we seem to be at a disadvantage now, and His Majesty the Ice Emperor is also outside the palace and hasn't come back yet, isn't it more certain to wait for them to come back?" ”
He had already discovered that the Snow Emperor was no longer in the palace, and might not even be in the Ming capital.
"Dodging won't solve the problem, not to mention, someone doesn't want me to hide, face-to-face is the scene he wants to see." Xu Lanqing shook his head.
He turned his head to look around, and there were already people covered in black around the palace, standing in the shadowy corners, as if they were one with the darkness, masked and stuffy, not knowing what they looked like.
"Are you taking people for fools? Cover your face and think you don't know who you are? ”
Xu Lanqing couldn't complain: "My third brother is really good, I don't talk about it in advance when I shoot so many people, I must be so entertaining." ”
Zheng Zhan and Xiao Bai looked at the masked people vigilantly, and the guards of the two Soul Saints were also so nervous that their palms were sweating.
The aura of each of the other party was above the seven rings, and there were as many as five ninth-level soul masters.
This should be Xu Tianran's subordinates or some partners to cooperate, who have been in business for so long, and there is always no shortage of thugs under the complex chain of interests.
Zheng Zhan, who has been in the Sun and Moon Empire for decades, recognized two of them, masked, but his aura did not change, they were all masters who had been famous for a long time, and he had to call his brother before.
After all, his status in the empire is not very good, the main defense, the cultivation is weak, and he belongs to the kind that anyone can bully.
But now it's different, but he has seen the demeanor of the world's top powerhouses with the four princes, and he has taken medicinal herbs to solve the problem of pill accumulation in his body, and now he is cultivating, and he can feel a little stronger tomorrow than yesterday.
Except for the best people like Jing Hongchen, he is completely worthy of anyone.
Xu Lanqing looked behind those people and didn't find Xu Tianran's figure, this is normal, if it appears, it is not normal, he should be more careful, maybe there is some conspiracy waiting for him.
"According to the rules between Title Douluo, there is something to go to heaven."
Zheng Zhan glanced around, took the lead in breaking the quiet atmosphere and getting straight to the point.
When his proposal came out, the other party did not object, and the five men in black rose into the sky together with Zheng Zhan and Xiaobai.
There is an unwritten rule in the soul master world, but all powerhouses at the Title Douluo level get involved in secular disputes, in order to avoid the destruction of life. The sky is their battlefield.
Only the winning side has the qualifications to shoot at the other party's title Douluo and below.
And as long as the opponent still has a Titled Douluo who has not been defeated, none of these Titled Douluo-level powerhouses can get involved in secular battles.
The Ice Emperor, who was rushing to the Beimao Mansion at full speed outside the Imperial City, said that this was the rule of the soul master, and she was a soul beast and could not be mixed up.
War, the damage to civilians is the greatest, and once a powerhouse of Title Douluo's level goes all out.
Even slaughtering a city is not a difficult task. With this limit, casualties have been greatly reduced, at least in the war for 10,000 years.
Xu Tianran did not take the initiative to break the rules, even if he was doing something rebellious now, because he didn't break it first, Xu Lanqing would not break the rules.
The battlefield on the ground can only be attacked by the people under the Nine Rings.
Of course, Xu Lanqing didn't know what Xu Tianran thought, but if he had the opportunity, he would definitely have to steal Xu Tianran's home.
In the distance, there was a probe soul guide emitting a little red light, and it was obvious that they had already found them confronting each other above the imperial city, but no one had stopped them, and let the situation develop.
Xu Lanqing wanted to scold people, but he had worked hard to help the emperor bring back the crystal blood dragon ginseng, but he had to suffer a serious illness caused by the accumulation of stubborn illnesses and dark injuries for many years, and now he is like this.
"Boom—"
The battle in the sky had already begun, and the continuous roar was as fierce and loud as Lei Gong beating a drum, shaking people's ears to the point of deafness.
The pitch-black sky was illuminated as bright as day, and thousands of various soul guides emerged one after another, brilliant and deadly threatening.
The other party has been planning for a long time, and they have been preparing for an unknown amount of time, and the strengths of the soul master have been brought into full play by them.
Xiao Bai had already turned into an ice bear, and the fur on the surface of the thirty-meter-tall bear body was shiny and soft, and the unimaginably thick defense resisted the first round of attacks of the five people.
Zheng Zhan stood beside Xiao Bai with a silver-white metal shield, the white light of the shield was generous, and a layer of bright white light blocked the front like a screen, blocking as much as possible to reduce some pressure for Xiao Bai.
The sweltering summer night cooled down, and the air grew colder and colder, until it began to fall with white goose feather snow and howling cold winds.
The blizzard just shrouded all five of the other party, and the people below suddenly lost their vision above, and could only hear Xiaobai's roar and explosions resounding in the blizzard from time to time.
This battle was extremely difficult, and the fully prepared soul guides burst out with all their might to prepare the soul guides in advance, and countless soul guides were endless, and the number was so large that it was desperate.
In that scene, even if Super Douluo came, he had to turn around and run.
Soul masters, except for a few people, are the best at fire suppression, medium and remote control and explosion.
That is, Xiaobai, who has just broken through 300,000 years, is beyond the imagination of the other party, and the two sides are comparable for a while.
Xu Lanqing withdrew his gaze from above, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was always a little uneasy in his heart.
Xu Tianran didn't know much about his side, and he definitely knew the strength of the Ice Emperor.
Now the Ice Emperor is not outside, but the other party is sure that he doesn't know, then he should make arrangements according to the full strength of the Ice Emperor, Xiaobai and others.
But now only Xiao Bai and Zheng Zhan have stopped the five ninth-level soul masters, it is impossible for them to make such a low-level mistake, right?
Not even clear about the strength of yourself and your enemies, or are you too confident?
Could it be that there is an arrangement outside the Imperial City?
In addition to this, Xu Lanqing couldn't think of any other ideas for the time being.
Forget it, let's send the person in front of you first.
Xu Lan glanced around, the other party was missing five Title Douluo, and there were still many people left, and at first glance, there were about thirty people.
All of them are masters above the Seven Rings, and they are all prepared soul masters.
And Xu Lanqing's side was in stark contrast to the other side, plus he and the two guards, a total of three people stood alone in the garden, which made Xu Lanqing think of Xiang Yu who was besieged and embattled.
Phew, what are you doing with these unlucky things, he is not Xiang Yu, he will not fail, even if he fails, he will be cheeky to find Kong Deming and the emperor to beg for mercy.
Is it bad to be alive?
How much is face worth?
"Your Highness, why don't you break through first, and we'll help your Highness." The guard said.
He clenched the soul guide spear in his hand, his brass-colored face was bloodless, but even in the face of this desperate situation, he did not lay down his arms and surrender.
The resolute face is undaunted.
It may also be that he wants to surrender, and even if he surrenders, it is estimated that the other party will not accept it.
Guard B didn't speak, but his attitude was the same as A, the pale yellow soul power was already nervous, and the soul guide cannon barrel in his hand gradually heated up, which was a precursor to preparing to fire.
"Don't worry, I don't have to break through, and you don't have to die." Xu Lan said with a light smile.
He secretly uses necromancy to uplift people.
As if infected by his breezy appearance, the two guards magically found that they didn't seem to be so nervous, and the other side didn't seem so scary.
"Whoa—"
The soul guide cannonball was fired from a distance, but it was blocked by layers of protective shields emerging from the palace, emitting a series of deafening explosions.
Although you can't arrange large-scale lethal soul guides in the palace, you can arrange defensive soul guides.
Xu Lanqing, who was guarded by two guards, raised his right hand and pointed at the soul masters who were shooting here from a long distance, as well as the melee soul masters who rushed over, and the gray air flow suddenly rose from the ground, like green smoke that could not be touched.
For the first time, he used necromancy in front of the world.
A huge undead magic circle was activated, and the soul masters who came to attack found that unintelligible characters appeared under their feet, and the curved ghost painting talisman shrouded a radius of one mile, and an inexplicable sense of oppression surged into their hearts.
A slender staff appeared in Xu Lanqing's grasp.
It didn't end, the originally terrifying gray air flow was filled with a golden halo, and even the two guards and Xu Lanqing were covered with a faint layer of gold.
The gold is darker, but it is full of light.
Xu Lanqing held the staff and pointed in the air, and suddenly, a miserable white flame rippled in the air, and soon turned into a figure and appeared in front of Xu Lanqing.
A white curtain of light pushed outward, blocking the soul guides with energy attacks.
His dark eyes had unconsciously turned gray, old and simple, and the aura of his body seemed to have changed into a different person.
Eerie and sacred.
Evil and bright.
Xu Lanqing took the initiative to hand over the control of his body and let Electrolux in the Ice and Fire Bead come out to replace him.
Abbreviation, the big guy fights on behalf of him.
With such a big amount of necromancy, he can't even arrange it, let alone cast it, so naturally he has to rely on Electrolux.
If Ma Xiaotao was here, he could immediately see that the phantom was Zhang Peng, who had died.
It's just that Zhang Peng's expression at this time is stiff, and only the light is illusory, and it is clearly a soul form.
And it was through his soul form that Electrolux actually blocked the attacks of hundreds of soul guides outside.
Electrolux was chanting a lengthy incantation all the time, but the staff in his hand did not pause, pointing towards the ground, and suddenly, one by one, golden bone claws poked out of the ground and grabbed everyone outside.

(The Ice Emperor's extra has already been posted, and the addition should be made up tomorrow...... )
