Chapter 425: Decapitated Rice
"How the hell did you find out about us?"
A few minutes later, there was only one survivor left in the corpses all over the ground, and the man stared at Xia Yanzhen with wide eyes, only one step away from death.
The Dark Guard acted very carefully, and did not monitor the Demon Lord's intentions and actions at all.
Including the handover of items with Chen Lao and others, it was completed just by passing by, and there were also things to be put somewhere and waiting for Chen Lao and them to pick up this.
They also paid attention to the sky from time to time, and they didn't see any trace of the celestial demons—the celestial demons were so big, everyone could see them.
So, how did the demon lord find them, determine their identities, and directly kill them all?
If this mystery is not solved, he will not be able to turn a blind eye!
"I saw it." Xia Yanzhen answered his doubts.
"Look, how do you look—"
But only half of the solution was solved, and the blood-burning sword pierced into the heart, bringing out a flash of flame when it was pulled out, ending the life of one of the last guards here - death without blinking an eye.
Glancing at the bloodless sword body, Xia Yanzhen put the sword into its sheath and walked out of the small courtyard.
How did he see it?
It has nothing to do with Tiamat, even Tiamat can't be above the clouds in the sky and see everything that happens on the ground twenty-four hours a day.
Xia Yan could really see because of the observation of the magic mirror.
The observation magic mirror is like a smart map in a mobile phone, or a real scene.
It can be enlarged and adjusted at any time.
After Tiamat reminded Chongxiao that there might be a problem with the five people, Xia Yanzhen was idle, so he used the observation magic mirror to look at it.
Chen Lao and the others stayed in the room, using concentric insects to connect, and the brief contact with the dark guard was all seen by Xia Yanzhen.
Chen Lao guessed correctly, Xia Yanzhen already knew that they had a problem.
And he used the observation mirror to observe secretly, and borrowed them to fish out a lot of dark guards, and finally caught all the nets.
As for those poisons, curses, or whatever, they really didn't work against Xia Yan.
Now the secret guard who has been following has been solved, and he is about to arrive in the imperial city. The remaining three people in Chongxiao should also be dealt with.
Two days later, on the lively official road, the high walls of the imperial city were already in sight.
The three of them looked around from time to time, their faces serious and vigilant.
It's almost time to arrive in the Imperial City, and it's time for the Dark Guard to strike.
At this moment, they looked around and felt like they had entered the world of the ancient dragon.
Every pedestrian, every small vendor can be a killer and suddenly burst out to kill people.
"Huh-" Xia Yanzhen pulled the reins and stopped the horse, making the heartbeat of Chen Lao and the others skip a beat.
Hands-on?
Nope!
The three of them looked at Xia Yanzhen strangely.
"Captain Xia?" Elder Chen took a deep breath and showed an inquiring expression.
"If you're hungry, eat something." Xia Yanzhen pointed to a noodle stall on the side of the road and said.
"Okay." Chen Lao smiled reluctantly.
The roadside noodle stalls do a good business, even if it's not a meal, there are many customers.
Xia Yanzhen and the others waited for a while, filling a small square table, and after a while, the boss came up with four bowls of noodles.
The toppings on it are quite rich, with both meat and vegetables.
Xia Yanzhen tasted it, with a slight spicy taste, and the taste was quite good.
Chen Lao and the three of them had no intention of eating noodles, and they ate without a bite, and the taste was the same as chewing wax.
Xia Yanzhen feasted on it, and after eating, he looked at the three of them: "Don't you eat?" ”
"Eat, eat."
Old Chen lowered his head and ate.
Xia Yanzhen stood up, walked over to the busy boss, and gave a large ingot of silver.
The boss was stunned: "I can't find this." ”
This silver is more than enough to buy his temporary small shop, and then go home and lie down for half a year.
"Don't look for it, take it as compensation." Xia Yanzhen stretched out his hand, and the Burning Blood Sword appeared in his hand along with Aoki's sheath, which was placed on his waist.
“……”
When the boss saw it, he reacted quickly, and immediately retreated again and again, not forgetting to take the silver given by Xia Yanzhen.
Xia Yanzhen walked back to the table.
The three of them looked up, looked at the saber at his waist, and were stunned for a moment.
"Are you done eating?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
As he asked, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Yu Huachen and Ah Xing sighed and put down the fast son.
I see, the severed head meal.
Old Chen was still making the last struggle: "Head Xia, what are you...... How did you take out all the swords? ”
"Let's go on the road when we're done eating."
Xia Yanzhen slashed out with a sword, and Ah Xing let out a low roar and knocked over the table.
The small wooden table naturally couldn't stop the blood-burning sword, and it was easily cracked.
Ah Xing flashed the blade of the sword and attacked Xia Yanzhen at the fastest speed.
His hands, his fingers became slender, his nails popped out, and they were knuckle long, like small blades, his complexion was pale, and a pair of fangs were exposed.
It's a bit of a vampire.
When he first entered the mission world, he was bitten by a vampire, and he strengthened it based on this.
He is fast and attacks with a high frequency.
And it has a decent recovery ability.
The sharp claws grabbed Xia Yanzhen's head, and a piece of blood and qi surged from Ah Xing's body, surrounding his hands, and as long as he touched it, he could rob people's vitality.
Although you can't let people die, in battle, sudden weakness is enough to lay the foundation or turn the tide of battle.
The blood qi that was "boiling" in the palm of his hand was the first to touch Xia Yanzhen.
Immediately after, Xia Yanzhen broke through Ah Xing's palms with a sword and pierced his heart.
The tip of the sword peeked out from behind Ah Xing, and as Xia Yanzhen drew his sword, a ball of flames erupted from the wound.
An abnormal flush appeared on Ah Xing's pale face, and he staggered forward and fell to his knees.
"Head Xia...... You, sure enough, are strong. ”
Ah Xing reluctantly raised his head, looked at Xia Yanzhen and said.
There was a bloody hole in his chest, and his heart had disappeared with the sword just now.
Because of the burning flames, the wound was sealed, and no blood flowed out.
He's dying—unless this time stands up and dances a child-seeking dance.
Ah Xing still has so little energy to get up and dance.
But he didn't do it, because even if he got up, Xia Yanzhen wouldn't give him this opportunity.
Ah Xing just stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of Xia Yanzhen's clothes, buying a little time for Yu Huachen.
Feather Dust was suspended in mid-air, and a complex summoning diagram appeared behind him.
He is a summoner.
However, it is not the creature that is summoned, but the power of other creatures.
Right now, what Feather Dust summoned was the most powerful force he could summon - the power of the lava beast.
With that power is summoned.
A large number of rifts appeared in the feather dust, and hot magma flowed from the rifts.
The whole person is also in a petrified state.
"Captain Xia!"
He sent an inhuman roar towards Xia Yanzhen, "Captain Chongxiao, feather dust, please advise!" ”
"Come on."
Xia Yanzhen took a step forward, and the hand that grabbed the corner of his clothes slipped down.
Behind him, his head hung down and he died.
As for Chen Lao, in a short period of time, he had already run hundreds of meters away.
Yu Huachen's eyes were also flowing with magma, and he opened his mouth and spewed out an incomparably hot magma towards Xia Yanzhen.
It's a pity that this is not real magma, this is magma formed by extraordinary power.
It may have more terrifying lethality than magma, but for Xia Yanzhen, it doesn't exist.
Xia Yanzhen stepped forward and stabbed out with a sword, piercing through Yu Huachen's heart.
"Roar!"
Feather dust is still roaring.
The strength of the lava behemoth had already exceeded his current upper limit.
The whole body was boiling, even if Xia Yan really didn't kill, he would die soon.
As for the brain, it is naturally not clear anymore, only the high will to fight.
Feather Dust held the Burning Blood Sword on his head and reached out to grab Xia Yanzhen's shoulders.
The power of the raging lava roared, like a volcanic eruption, tearing apart the body of the feather dust.
The blinding red lava engulfed Xia Yanzhen and everything around him.
Fortunately, at this time, there was no one around.
Today's world is chaotic, even at the foot of the imperial city, it is not peaceful.
The vigilance of ordinary people is still very high, a little windy and fast.
When the lava and the glare dissipate.
The ground was dented in a blackened patch, and everything was shattered into charcoal.
Only Xia Yanzhen was unscathed.
He put his sword into the sheath and looked at the imperial city, where Chen Lao was already about to flee for his life into the city.
"The Demon Lord is here!"
"The Demon Lord is here!"
Boss Chen, who had escaped, roared loudly, and his voice shook the sky.
Near the huge city gate, the soldiers guarding the city looked at Chen Lao, who rushed over and caused a large commotion, and almost shot arrows with bows.
Fortunately, Chen Lao still had a token in his hand.
The young general who defended the city saw the token clearly, it was the sign of the Dark Guard.
Although the Dark Guard is called the Dark Guard, it sounds very secretive, but many people know the Dark Guard.
The soldiers defending the city also know very well what the token of the secret guard looks like.
After all, the dark guards often have to go out of the city at some special times, on what basis? Naturally, it's a brand.
"Stop!"
The young general stepped forward and stopped Chen Lao, "What are you talking about?" ”
"The Demon Lord is here!" Chen Lao said, "I want to enter the palace and report to the emperor!" Close the gates and stop him. Stop him! ”
When he had finished speaking, he ran into the city.
“…… Captain? ”
With Chen Lao's shouting.
There was already chaos all around, the neighing of horses, the frightened cries of the crowd, the sound of horsewhips and loud shouts of rebuke.
The people near the gate rushed towards the city, and those who were a little farther away ran towards both sides of the official road.
In the middle of the official road, Xia Yan was really coming, without the slightest intention of concealing it.
"Close the door!"
"Close the door!"
"Dongdong, Dongdong!"
The drums of war outside the gates were beaten, and the soldiers retreated into the city, and the gates began to close.
Those who could enter the city entered the city, and those who could not run in both directions.
Soon, the neighborhood took on a sense of desolation after the chaos.
Loose luggage, knocked over stalls, lost carriages, horses snorting in place.
From the scene after the military disaster, there were a few crying children.
Xia Yanzhen came under the tall city walls.
On the city walls, a large number of bows and arrows were aimed at him.
Xia Yanzhen looked at the huge city gate in front of him.
There are five gates, one of which is the largest, and two smaller gates on the left and right.
Originally, two doors were opened, but now they are all closed.
The sound of war drums and trumpets resounded in the sky.
