Chapter 19: Failure and Failure
Hearing only the sound of "whoosh", everyone saw a black feather arrow piercing the executioner's head, and the long knife in the executioner's hand fell to the ground with a "bang", and the whole person fell to the ground with a bang.
For a while, there was chaos on the execution ground, and everyone fled outside in a hurry, for fear that they would be affected by the fish in the pond if they ran slowly.
Hundreds of black-armored crossbowmen suddenly flashed on the rooftops of the execution ground, led by a fourth-layer qi refiner, who pointed to a black shadow on a tall building a few miles away and said, "He's there, follow me." After saying that, he flashed and ran towards the direction of the tall building. The black-armored guards under his command obeyed the order, and followed him in that direction with uniform movements, each of which was a foreign master with good strength.
Zhu Ke on the tower of the city gate was just about to get up, but Xu Lianyuan smiled and said: "Now that the fish has been baited, it can be handed over to his subordinates to dispose of, why do you do it yourself?" ”
Zhu Ke thought about it for a while, and felt that a mere third-level qi refiner was not worth doing it himself, so he was just about to sit down. Suddenly, he frowned, and said, "He actually went to my country's master's mansion, what kind of tricks are he playing, I have to go and see for myself." After speaking, he flashed, and only Xu Lianyuan, who was dressed in a white robe, was left on the tower of the city gate.
Xu Lianyuan's eyes also flashed with a different color, he didn't know what Ye Ziyu's move was, but in the face of absolute strength, all plans were useless, Xu Lianyuan thought of this and put his mind at ease.
Ye Ziyu was sweeping towards the backyard of the National Teacher's Mansion at this time, stepping over the high-gate mansions under his feet, and all the magnates in the capital who lived near the imperial city were officials in the court.
Suddenly, a feather arrow shot behind him, Ye Ziyu bent down to avoid it, and didn't pay attention to the pursuers behind him. A red wall in front of it, which was twice as tall as the surrounding high wall, was the back wall of the National Teacher's Mansion, Ye Ziyu poked out his spiritual sense and sensed it slightly, and did not find the existence of a qi refiner in the courtyard, so he jumped into the backyard of the National Teacher's Mansion.
In the backyard of the National Teacher's Mansion, there is a giant palace that is not much better than the palace of the Imperial City, what is even more amazing is that the garden in front of the palace has mountains and rivers, a spiritual spring is bubbling and flowing, and several cranes and beasts are walking in the garden, not like the mansion of high-ranking officials in the world, but like a fairyland on earth, the fairy cave in general.
Ye Ziyu was a little anxious in his heart, the big fish he wanted to catch hadn't shown up yet, could it be that he had miscalculated? But at this time, he didn't care much, and he was about to run to the main hall with his steps.
But as soon as he took the first step, his movements stopped abruptly, Ye Ziyu slowly turned around, and saw a middle-aged man standing behind him with luxurious clothes and slightly white temples, who was the national teacher Zhu Ke.
Zhu Ke sneered: "It's just that I want you to throw yourself into the net, it's good for you to send it directly to the door." After speaking, he didn't say much, a palm slapped towards Ye Ziyu, and the true qi in his palm was released, and a true qi big handprint was condensed directly in the air, and the big hand of true qi attacked Ye Ziyu with an unstoppable momentum, and Ye Ziyu, who was oppressed by the strong wind alone, couldn't breathe.
Ye Ziyu quickly sealed with both hands, and at the moment when the big handprint was about to be printed on his chest, the movement on Ye Ziyu's hand was finally completed, and a mysterious seal was formed between his fingers.
Immediately followed by the mysterious runes flashing with spiritual light in the backyard of the entire National Teacher's Mansion, the condensed spirit runes could block Zhu Ke's aura handprints, and the spirit runes were distorted, but fortunately they had not exploded.
Then the spirit runes converged and formed a spirit array to envelop the bamboo ke. Zhu Ke was not flustered, he snorted coldly and slapped out with another palm, and the spirit array twisted into a strange amplitude in the air, it seemed that this spirit array was also difficult to trap Zhu Ke, and it was only a matter of time before it was broken through.
Ye Ziyu activated the transfer talisman in his hand the moment Zhu Ke was trapped, and disappeared from the spot in an instant to the execution ground several miles away.
There were only a few ordinary servants left on the execution ground to maintain order, and all the ambushed qi refiners and black guards followed the leader to hunt down Ye Ziyu, so now the defense force on the execution ground was basically equal to nothing.
This was also expected by Ye Ziyu, because the lives of Zhao Xingping and even Liang Leer were just bait used to lure him, as long as he appeared, all the arranged centaurs would gather at the place where he appeared.
It turned out that the letter left by Zhao Xingping itself was still a lock spirit array that could temporarily trap qi refiners below the tenth level of qi refining, but if it was to be activated, it would require a hundred spirit stones, and Ye Ziyu placed this lock spirit array in the backyard of the National Teacher's Mansion early.
Maybe it was because all the masters in the capital had been arranged to set up ambushes to besiege and kill themselves in recent days, and there was not a single Qi Refiner in the backyard of the National Teacher's Mansion, which was heavily guarded on weekdays, so that Ye Ziyu had time to arrange.
According to Zhao Xingping, Zhu Ke and Youxiang colluded with the demon clan, maybe there was some ulterior secret hidden in his backyard, so Ye Ziyu took a gamble and went the opposite way, not going to the execution ground but coming directly to the National Teacher's Mansion.
Fortunately, he made the right bet and used the Locking Spirit Array to trap Zhu Ke, who was the biggest threat to him.
Ye Ziyu quickly came to Zhao Xingping's side, tore off the chains that bound his limbs with both hands, and urged a trace of pure white true qi from the dantian, injected it from Zhao Xingping's dantian with his fingers, and pulled out the lock spirit hook that sealed Zhao Xingping's true qi.
Zhao Xingping was shocked when the pure white true qi entered his body, and looked at Ye Ziyu in disbelief and muttered, "It's actually Haoran righteousness!" Ye Ziyu didn't know why, so he took out the healing pill from the storage bag and handed it to Zhao Xingping, and said in a low voice: "Master, you breathe for a while, I'll go and Le'er rescue it." ”
He walked like a fly, and when he came to the little prisoner's car, he saw that the little girl who used to be lively and lovely had now become this half-human, half-ghost, and her eyes, which had been agile, were now cloudy and dull.
Ye Ziyu's heart hurt like a knife, and he hugged the little girl in the prisoner car tightly in his arms, tears flashed in his eyes, and a crystal tear slipped from the corner of his eye, leaving a faint white mark on the little girl's little face full of blood and dirt.
The little girl raised her head and looked blankly at the strange but familiar young man in front of her, her eyes were obviously stunned when she saw the other party's face clearly, and then big tears poured out, and her mouth opened wide, but there was no sound in her throat, only a deep whimper.
The little girl opened her dirty hands and hugged Ye Ziyu tightly, as if she wanted to melt her small body into Ye Ziyu's body.
Ye Ziyu touched her little head lovingly, but a trace of madness flashed in her eyes, even if she was crushed to pieces, she had to give the miscellaneous pieces surnamed Li to pieces, so that he couldn't survive or die.
Zhao Xingping, who was behind him, took Ye Ziyu's hand and said, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go quickly." ”
Ye Ziyu nodded, took out a transfer talisman from his arms and handed it to Zhao Xingping and Liang Le'er, and said, "There are only two transfer talismans, you guys go quickly, I will go to the east of the city to kill." ”
Liang Leer and Zhao Xingping were willing to let Ye Ziyu get into danger again, Zhao Xingping was just about to speak, when he heard a faint laugh coming from the roof not far away, and then someone said: "There is no need to be like this, none of the three of you can escape." ”
Ye Ziyu and Zhao Xingping were both surprised, Zhao Xingping was extremely familiar with this voice, he was personally promoted, and this person was like half a master to him along the way, whether it was cultivation or officialdom.
I saw an old man on the roof, wearing a light cyan shirt, with a three-foot long sword hanging from his waist, and looking at them with his hands behind his back.
Right Minister Xu Lianyuan finally appeared. Ye Ziyu frowned, Xu Lianyuan's strength was not much better than Zhu Ke, he was the biggest uncertain factor in this trip, Ye Ziyu at this time did not have a second Locking Spirit Array to trap Xu Lianyuan.
He hurriedly shouted, "I'll hold him back, and you can quickly activate the spirit runes." After speaking, he took off the longbow behind his back and put on an iron arrow and shot it towards Xu Lianyuan, but Xu Lianyuan didn't pay attention to the iron arrow at all, the long sword came out of the sheath, and an extremely sharp sword slashed towards Ye Ziyu, Ye Ziyu saw this and hurriedly dodged, but the speed of Jian Gang was too amazing, and it was instantaneous.
Immediately after, an arm flew up, and blood spurted wildly from Ye Ziyu's severed arm.
Zhao Xingping looked at Xu Lianyuan blankly, and muttered in his mouth, "Why?" What exactly is this for? ”
Xu Lianyuan ignored him and said with a faint smile: "It's just a chess piece, it's just that you know too much." ”
Zhao Xingping was speechless for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly his body trembled violently, and he shouted angrily: "Thirty years of knowing the grace of encounters, thirty years of being a teacher and a friend, plus this hundred years of cultivation, I will return it to you today!" After saying this, his whole body swelled, and a little body jumped up under his feet, and he rushed straight to Xu Lianyuan.
Xu Lianyuan's eyes flashed with cold light, and before Zhao Xingping could rush closer, another sword was slashed out, and Zhao Xingping's body was immediately cut in two, but Zhao Xingping's body that was divided into two halves exploded, and the surrounding real qi was agitated, and the houses within a radius of one mile were blown into debris, and Zhao Xingping actually chose to blow himself up.
Ye Ziyu had tears in his eyes, the spirit rune in his hand was shining, and the moment Zhao Xingping rushed to Xu Lianyuan, he handed the spirit rune to his hand, and said: "I will fight for this opportunity for you, you have a heroic and righteous spirit, and you will definitely be able to join Taixue when you go to Dahan, and then you will come to avenge me." Come on! ”
Liang Le'er was not fully conscious at this time, so Ye Ziyu activated her spirit talisman first and put it on the little girl's neckline, and the little girl still held him regardless of it.
Ye Ziyu went to activate his spirit talisman at this time, and the little girl on her back was teleported out by the transfer talisman after a while.
And Ye Ziyu saw that he could move out immediately, but unexpectedly, a sharp sword gang came from behind him again, and Ye Ziyu had to roll around a lazy donkey and flash the sword gang, and the movement of the spirit rune in his hand was interrupted again.
The smoke cleared, and Xu Lianyuan's figure appeared behind Ye Ziyu, the long sword in his hand trembling.
