Volume 1 The Land of Ashes Chapter 17 The Eye of the Firmament
Everyone had malicious speculations, which made Wang Che's face turn pale in an instant.
"No, it's not."
"They're controlled by candles."
"Do you see the masks on their faces? As soon as they tear off their masks, they will be like puppets, without breath. ”
"We ......," Wang Che tried to explain more.
"Don't say it, it's useless." But before he finished speaking, Chu Qingxiao on the side interrupted him.
When he heard the whispers of the people, he put away his thoughts and continued to argue.
He understands that for most people, they don't have the heart to find out the truth.
They just like to follow the tide and go with the flow.
Wang Che's heart trembled when he heard this, he looked at Chu Qingxiao with a cold expression, and suddenly understood something.
The words that came to his lips were swallowed back by him at this moment.
He turned his head to look in front of him, the cold light on the scimitars of the black armor was already surging, and the eyes behind the black iron mask were surging with murderous intent.
"We ...... Now what? Wang Che asked in a trembling voice.
did not wait for Chu Zhaozhao and Chu Qingxiao to respond.
The black armor in front of him suddenly raised his head, and more than ten scimitars flew out.
The scimitar is extremely fast, with a piercing sound of breaking through the air.
Chu Qingxiao and Wang Che had no cultivation in their bodies, and they didn't have time to react in the face of the scimitars that flew in.
Only Chu Zhaozhao stepped forward and pushed the two behind him, and at the same time lifted the wooden stick on the ground that he didn't know who left it, and his body flipped and moved, avoiding several blades.
Then the long stick flicked the scimitar from both sides, and then held it across his chest, blocking the blade flying from the front.
But the sharp blade is not what an ordinary stick can resist.
The moment his eyes made contact with the scimitar, the wooden stick was cut off from it, and the blade continued to move forward and slammed straight into Chu Zhaozhao's face.
Chu Zhaozhao was shocked, and hurriedly turned his head sideways, and the blade flew past against the door in front of her, marking another bloody mark on her side face.
But before she could recover from such a thrilling situation, the black armor led by her had already killed her.
Black Armor's eyes burst with a fierce light, and a punch slammed into her face.
Chu Zhaozhao didn't dare to be careless, and in a hurry, his right hand also punched.
Click.
The moment the fists collided, the sound of bones shattering came, Chu Zhaozhao's face turned pale, his mouth let out a cry of pain, his body retreated a few steps, and he crashed straight into the stall behind him, and fell to the ground in response.
Hei Jia didn't seem to be satisfied with this result, and continued to walk towards the place where Chu Zhaozhao had fallen.
"Help her!" At this time, Chu Qingxiao also stood firm, he looked at Wang Che beside him and said loudly.
"How can I help? We don't ...... at all," Wang Che asked with a pale face and a little trembling.
"Masks, their weakness is masks." Chu Qingxiao said in a deep voice, and stepped forward quickly to endure the sharp pain from his ankles, approaching the black armor from the left side, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity when the black armor's attention fell on Chu Zhaozhao to take off the mask on the other party's face.
Seeing this, Wang Che had a somewhat complicated look on his face: "Qingxiao ......"
He wanted to say something, but before the words came out, Chu Qingxiao had already gone away.
He gritted his teeth, but finally hurried to follow, rushing towards the black armor from the other side.
The goal of the two was clear, and their eyes were locked on the mask on the head of the black armor, and at the same time, the black armor did not seem to be aware of the intentions of the two, but just walked towards Chu Zhaozhao.
Seeing that they were only one step away from the black armor, both of their feet were exerting force at this time, and their bodies jumped up, and they were about to pounce on the black armor.
But at this moment, two figures appeared on both sides of the black armor like ghosts, and they were his companions who had been standing still until then.
They appeared as if out of thin air, stopping in front of Chu Qingxiao and Wang Che.
The two of them were shocked, but they didn't have time to react at all, the hands of the two black armors stretched out at this time, and with a slight wave, the bodies of Chu Qingxiao and Wang Che were lifted away a few feet away.
And at this time.
Chu Zhaozhao, who crashed into the stall, finally relieved himself.
A mouthful of blood spat out of her mouth, and her body struggled to get up.
But before she could see the situation in front of her, a hand suddenly reached over, pinched his neck, and lifted her body high.
It was the black armor that had already walked up to her!
Black Armor's palms began to exert force, her neck was pinched, and breathing began to become difficult.
The shadow of death loomed over her, and she stared at the black armor, and the eyes behind the mask flashed with blood.
Chu Zhaozhao's breathing began to become difficult, and with the only remaining consciousness, she raised one hand slightly, her fingers trembled slightly, and the sword intent that had been cultivated in her body for twelve years began to surge.
Not far away, the scimitar on the ground, as if sensing something, trembled lightly on the ground.
As long as she grasps the void and summons a blade, the sword intent that has been cultivated for twelve years emerges, and she may be able to break through the crisis in front of her.
But at this moment of kicking the door, she suddenly let go of the palm she clenched with her clench...
For someone like her.
There is no supreme talent, and there is no family background to rely on......
But it is burdened with all the future of a family.
And all the possibilities of this future are poured into the day of the sword question in the Yaoguang Sword Pool.
For this reason, the tribesmen cut back on food and clothing, and the elders groveled.
Just for one day, she stepped into the sword pool and retrieved the Tiangang Divine Sword that could revitalize the family.
For the past 12 years, since the day she entered the path of cultivation, she has lived only for this goal.
To abandon this target would be to take her life.
She......
After all, he didn't have the courage to survive in the face of the disappointed eyes of his clansmen.
Her hands hung limply at that moment, as if she had accepted her impending fate.
At this moment, the black armor of the leader reached out his hand, pinched her neck, and lifted her body high.
The feeling of suffocation came at that time, and Chu Zhaozhao resisted hard, but it was even more difficult for his already injured body to give birth to the strength to fight against the black armor, and all the resistance seemed so ridiculous.
It became more and more difficult to breathe, and it was as if the energy in my body had been drained.
Her resistance gradually became weaker, and the waving hand slowly drooped, and with the weaker and weaker breathing, death also came as expected, and stretched out her arm towards her.
……
Chu Qingxiao got up from the ground, and there was a huge pain around him.
He raised his head and looked at the place, Chu Zhaozhao's body was being lifted high by the black armor, her face was blue, and her hands were hanging down.
Chu Qingxiao seemed to be able to feel that the vitality was being pulled out of her body one by one.
Inexplicably, Chu Qingxiao's body also began to tremble.
His pupils dilated.
Not only because of fear, but also because the picture in front of me is so familiar, so familiar.
……
The city is in ruins.
On the cracked earth, blood-red magma flows.
The candle-yin beasts poured in like a tide, some children were crying, and some old women were wailing.
He wanted to save them, so he swung his sword with all his might, cutting off the head of one of the Yin beasts, and before he could take a step, more Yin beasts rushed in, flooding the city and the fleeing crowd......
He didn't want to give up, he fought again and again, fell down again and again, and got up again and again.
A figure came at this moment, his face white and handsome as that of a god.
He looked at him with a smile that was so gentle.
"You can't save anyone."
As he spoke, a hand was stretched out, and a child flew into his hand, and he held it high by the neck......
Children are screaming, and men are smiling.
His slender knuckles clenched.
The smile on his face grew brighter.
The child's face turned red, then purple, and the cry gradually fell silent, and the life was withdrawn little by little......
……
In my mind, a nightmarish image flashed.
Chu Qingxiao's heart welled up with an indescribable emotion.
It was a mixture of anger and fear.
It is also a mixture of despair and unwillingness.
"Don't ......"
"Don't ......"
looked at Chu Zhaozhao, who was lifted high in front of him, and felt the girl's increasingly weak breathing.
Chu Qingxiao began to mumble to himself like a dream, and he kept talking, his pupils were black in the depths, as if he had come to life.
It crept through his eyes, then infected his eyes.
There was a sharp pain in his chest, as if a flame was burning there.
"Qingxiao."
"Qingxiao!"
"Remember! Don't forget! ”
"Remember! Don't forget! ”
The old man's voice rang in his head, eager and anxious.
But the voice was quickly drowned out by the anger in Chu Qingxiao's chest.
His eyes were completely black.
He turned his head to look at the black armor in front of him, and his black eyes swelled with a fierce light like a beast......
It is cruel, cold, and tyrannical.
But it is strange and has a perfect holiness.
He opened his mouth and let out a beastly roar.
"Don't!"
"Don't !!"
At that moment, the blackness in his eyes exploded.
A god-like majesty poured out of his body, pouring over the heavens and the earth.
A surging black gas gushed out of his mouth and blasted into the black armor in front of him.
Where the black gas passed, the stone slabs on the ground were thrown away, the vendors' stalls were thrown up, and the houses on both sides shook.
And the unbreakable armor on the black armor is like glass, which will shatter at the touch of a touch.
With a burst of screams, their bodies were submerged in the monstrous black air.
……
And at this time, above the dome, black clouds gathered.
They are surging.
They whist.
They meet and tear each other apart.
The eyes that had appeared in the Zhu family's mansion slowly opened again at this time.
He was still watching.
His eyes flashed with ferocity and sacredness, and the things in Chu Qingxiao's eyes at this moment......
Run in the same groove.
