CHAPTER XXI

Yuan Huo was really chilled.

"Originally, I really didn't mind giving you the magic crystal! However, for your own selfish interests, you have no regard for the life of the door. If you become a demon king, how can you care about the life and death of the demon world? ”

Tongzhen laughed, "It's too late to know now!" The lake was ebbing, and I could already feel the breath of the magic crystal. Thank you for taking me to the Magic Crystal, you can go with peace of mind! ”

After speaking, he raised his hand a little towards Yuan Huo's chest.

Yuan Huo immediately lost his breath, and his heart beat frantically faster, and in an instant he was on the verge of exploding. No matter how much he mobilized his spiritual power to block it, it would be difficult to slow it down even the slightest.

Yuan Huo screamed, seeing that his life was not in danger. Suddenly, the Sky Killing Sword in his hand flew to his chest and gently pulled open a gap.

The moment the gap opened and closed, an uncontrollable tyrannical coercion enveloped Tongzhen overwhelmingly. forced Tongzhen to take a few steps back and spit blood.

This is just a gap, if the sword is completely drawn, Tongzhen will definitely die here!

He's an immortal-level person! However, he was still powerless to face the ferocity of the Sky Killing Sword!

The magic crystal is important, but life is even more important!

Tongzhen chose to run away for the first time. However, the Sky Killing Sword, which had already been pulled out in half, still had a blade that passed through the void to lock Tongzhen and deliver a fatal blow!

Tongzhen, who escaped thousands of miles away, hurriedly sacrificed the Xuanbing Umbrella, and sacrificed the Qingying Stone with all his strength to protect him.

But under the blade of the sword, the Xuanbing umbrella shattered in response. Although the blue stone barely resisted, there was a deep crack left on the stone surface. At the same time, the huge sharp edge knocked the blue stone back, causing the seven orifices to bleed and shatter more than a dozen bones.

Tong Zhen was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he was anxious to return to Qingying Peak like a lost dog and retreat to recuperate.

Yuan Huo sat on the ground sweating profusely, and scolded angrily, "You can't make a move earlier?" Do you have to see me die to be happy? ”

There was a burst of laughter in the air, and Zhou Zheng slowly appeared.

"Don't be angry! I didn't expect that the Sky Killing Sword would be so difficult to pull! ”

Yuan Huo glanced at him angrily, "Without the support of the sword array, the Heaven Killing Sword can't be pulled out at all." You draw your sword with the spiritual power of the array eye, and it's just a trick. It's a blessing to be able to pull out half of it! ”

Just now, Zhou Zheng ventured to hide in the rich water spirit, and he didn't even find the true divine sense. In this way, at a critical time, I was caught off guard and completely turned the situation around!

Zhou Zheng walked over and looked at the immortal rope on Yuan Huo's body.

"This has a true mark, and we can't remove it with our ability, what should we do?"

Yuan Huo sighed, "After all, it's an immortal-level person!" The bundle of fairy ropes can't be used, so it's better to destroy it! ”

Zhou Zheng didn't feel distressed. First, the magic weapon is not his own, and second, it is important to save people now, so you can't let the original fire be tied like this all the time, right?

With a slight swipe of the Heaven Killing Sword, the rope that tied the immortal was immediately broken into several sections.

Then, he closed the Sky Killing Sword again and handed it to the original fire.

This sword is indeed a good thing, but the appetite is as endless as the sea. In just such a short period of effort, his spiritual power had been completely exhausted, and more than half of his qi and blood had been sucked away. If he takes it down again, he is afraid that he will be sucked into a dry corpse!

Why is Zhou Zheng here? Wasn't he stabbed to death by Lin Shaopeng and his wife? He was so badly injured, why is he now like no one? In addition, didn't he turn against the original fire and be driven out of Blackwater City? How could they still work with the original fire?

This matter has to start from last night, when Zhou Zheng returned to the hospital with Yuzhu.

Exactly, the time should have been a little earlier!

Zhang Xian's abnormal movement aroused the vigilance of Yuan Huo a few years ago. Especially his every move of Master Zhang, which is all under the control of the original fire.

A few days ago, Zhang Hammer was beaten to death by Zhou Zheng. At first, Yuan Huo didn't pay much attention to this matter. But in the later case, Liu Mozhi, who was under Zhang Hammer, took the initiative to bear the charge of murder, and it was not at the behest of Zhang Xian, which made Yuan Huo smell the smell of conspiracy all of a sudden.

He secretly sent someone to investigate Liu Mozhi, and found out that he was a secret agent secretly planted in Blackwater City by Tongzhen.

Immediately afterwards, it was the return of Lin Shaopeng and Zhang Hong, which turned out to be the poison ivy sent by Liu Mozhi to pretend to be half-intercepted.

This is an obvious planting!

Why did Liu Mozhi do this?

Yuan Huo had a premonition for the first time that Zhang Xian would be instigated, and then rebelled in advance.

He secretly summoned the five commanders and nine deputy commanders, and made it clear that Zhang Xian wanted to rebel, and asked a group of them to make a statement.

For a while, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely depressing.

This time, the original fire also took a great risk.

No matter how high his mana was, once he faced the siege of more than a dozen Heaven Rank high-level people, or even the peak of the Heaven Rank, the chance of winning was almost zero.

However, the original fire has this confidence!

The first to kneel was the first commander Jiang Qi.

He touched his head to the ground and wept bitterly.

"Holy Monarch, I was wrong! In the first two years, I took a concubine privately, but my wife's money was in charge of my family. I don't have any money, just... I was confused for a while, and I deducted it... embezzled military salaries. Zhang Xian grabbed this crime of killing my head and threatened me to turn against the Holy Monarch. But I, I didn't agree! I really didn't agree! Later, he said that he would settle accounts with you between your brothers, and as long as I didn't help each other, he wouldn't report me! Holy Monarch, I was wrong! Kill me now! I was wrong! ”

Jiang Qi wailed and cried, like a child who had made a mistake and begged for forgiveness.

"Get up!" The expressionless Yuan Huo let out a long breath, he knew that the balance of victory had tipped in his favor.

"Would you like to give you a chance to atone for your sins?"

"Yes! Shengjun, I'll lead the troops to arrest Zhang Xian now! ”

Yuan Huo shook his head, "He's my big brother after all!" Saved my life! I've sent you for another purpose! Listen to it, and you do this and this. ”

"Yes!"

With the first one, the others also knelt down one after another, all confessed their guilt, and told the truth that Zhang Xian also took their handle and coerced them to rebel together. However, everyone did not agree, but just promised Zhang Xian that the two would not help each other when the time came!

Yuan Huo also knew that this was not the time to punish and ask for guilt, and he still had a lot of use for these people.

Therefore, he instructed everyone to be vigilant and perform their duties to prevent the Immortal Cultivation Sect from taking advantage of the chaos to attack. And arrange three commanders to secretly lead the team to ambush outside the city, and when the three major factions attack the city, they will be attacked back and forth, so that they will be exposed to the enemy!

At the same time, he also dispatched elite soldiers to ambush in several eyes of the city protection array, once he found a deliberate saboteur, he would be killed!

After that, Zhou Zheng was challenged by Lin Shaopeng, although Yuan Huo was surprised, he still thought that Zhang Xian rebelled to clear the road, and did not think about other aspects.

It wasn't until the people who followed Master Zhang reported that Master Zhang took hundreds of people to the Sword Formation on the Bow Mountain that he suddenly realized.

The Heaven Killing Sword Array was rarely activated, and it had only been activated three times in the past hundred and ten years.

Because every time it is activated, the original fire has to risk destroying the foundation, and after using the sword array, it takes at least ten days and half a month of rest before the body can recover. Therefore, as long as someone who is not an immortal descends, the sword array will not be activated.

With a large protective array and its own elite army, Yuan Huo is fully confident that he can withstand any siege!

Master Zhang's move made Yuan Huo immediately have a deeper guess, that is, the head of Qingying Peak may really have mixed into the city!

However, he still had a trace of doubt, if Tongzhen had already entered the city through the city protection array with the help of Master Zhang, why didn't he make a move on himself for a long time? That's an immortal-level person, it's easy to kill yourself!

Between the Sacred Monarch's Mansion of the Original Fire and Su Xi's Medical Hall, there was a secret teleportation array, and no one knew about it.

The original fire was quietly transmitted to the medical hall as soon as possible, and he hurriedly asked Mr. Su to discuss countermeasures.

It was at that time that he ran into Zhou Zheng and Yuzhu, who came back with serious injuries.

Yuzhu was seriously injured, but his life was not in danger.

The moment he stepped into the void from the Nether Valley, Zhou Zheng, who was palpitating, did not hesitate to take out the bronze piece and let Yuzhu wrap it in his clothes with spiritual power to block it on his chest.

Therefore, most of Qing You's half-step immortal punch was blocked by the bronze plate. However, even so, Yu Wei was not something that a person like Yuzhu who had cultivated at the beginning of the Heavenly Rank could bear, and her internal organs were still seriously damaged.

Zhou Zheng looked scary, but he was washed and bone-cut, and he was heavily pressed and quenched every day, so he was extremely resistant to beating. Most of his injuries were traumatic, and they were not as heavy as Yuzhu.

After almost a night's bathing in decoction, except that his spiritual power had not recovered, his injuries had been healed for the most part.

Yuan Huo listened to what happened to Zhou Zhengtian and immediately realized that Zhang Xian's rebellion was about to begin.

At the same time, he heard that Zhou Zheng was placed by Qing You, and he was even more sure that this was a real arrangement.

Let's not talk about Qing You's special identity, that is, his cultivation, if it weren't for a special relationship, Qing You wouldn't have taken the people of the Heavenly Order in his eyes at all, let alone doing things for them!

The reason why Qing You agreed to make a move at this time could only be the arrangement of the immortal people.

In addition, Yuan Huo once instructed Qingyou not to trouble Zhou Zheng again. And now, Qing You still dares to make a move on Zhou Zheng, which can only show that he feels that Yuan Huo can no longer threaten him.

And, who gave Qingyou so much confidence? Zhang Xian? No way! Qing You's ability to fight against the original fire, Qing You knows it well, even if all the demon lords in Blackwater City fight against the water together, it is impossible to kill the original fire!

Unless, there are immortal-level people who make a move!

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Yuan Huo knelt down and asked Mr. Su Xi to make a move for Blackwater City.

However, the old gentleman hesitated and did not agree.

"If you are captured or killed, Blackwater will be defeated. Since Tongzhen has already entered Blackwater City, why doesn't he kill you now? Or catch you? Zhou Zheng first raised his doubts.

Yuan Huo frowned, "This one, I'm also puzzled." It is said that the Heaven Killing Sword has been snatched away by him, and he has no worries. Why are you still delaying your move? As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Zheng.

"There could be a reason, and that's you! He doesn't know if you're dead or alive now? He's waiting for your news! ”

"Me? Why? ”

"I'm afraid we'll join forces! You have a great reputation and a great track record. I know what I'm capable of. And, Tongzhen is a very cautious person, he will not take risks easily! ”

Zhou Zheng was happy, "My reputation is even feared by immortal level people?" ”

"Phew! What kind of immortal rank is he? You kid is less proud! The old gentleman snorted disdainfully.

"I can't make a move," Mr. Su said at the original fire, "I will be exposed when I make a move." Once exposed, the consequences are even worse! Besides, if it's true, you can't deal with it? It's better to wipe your neck quickly! Save me from embarrassment! ”

After speaking, the old gentleman angrily threw his sleeves and left, leaving only Yuan Huo and Zhou to look at each other!

The heavenly steps and the immortal steps are like the next heavenly moat! Even if the two of them really join forces, they don't have a 10% chance of winning!

Zhou Zheng thought to himself, is Master thinking too highly of us?

Zhou Zheng, who calmed down, suddenly thought of a question, "No matter how cautious Tongzhen is, it won't be all because of me and not doing it to you." If we join forces, at best, we will have the strength to fight him, and there is almost no chance of winning.

Moreover, he had no idea of the existence of my master at all.

Unless, apart from the Heaven Killing Sword Formation here, is there anything else that makes him jealous? ”

Yuan Huo thought about it seriously, "No! ”

"So... What does he just want from you? ”

"What do you get?" Yuan Huo's face suddenly changed drastically, "Could it be a magic crystal?" Blackwater City is the place where the first Demon King fell!

The Sky Killing Sword was the magic weapon of the Demon King back then. After the death of the demon king, his body turned into a lake of clear water, which is where Yu'er practiced. That place had sufficient spiritual power, not only the Heaven Killing Sword Array, but also the source of the entire Blackwater City Protective Array. In addition, all the essence blood of the Demon King turned into magic crystals and was hidden at the bottom of the lake. ”

At this time, a poison ivy came to report, "Miss Yuzhu's henchman Xiao Maozi is in the Holy Monarch's Mansion, saying that Zhou Zheng went to the Twilight Valley today to kill the eldest lady!" ”

Hearing this news, Yuan Huo's face suddenly turned happy, "Zhou Zheng, I suddenly thought of an idea, we might as well plan it!" ”

The two discussed for a while, and Yuan Huo hurried back to the Shengjun's Mansion to meet Xiao Maozi. And Zhou Zheng settled into the clear space, adjusted his state to the best, and waited to face the strong enemy the next day.

The next day, Zhou Zheng's spiritual power was exhausted, so he staggered down the street and didn't even need to pretend.

If Zhang Xian didn't move, let him walk out of Blackwater City safely. Zhou Zheng rushed to the small mountain village outside the city as soon as possible as planned, and came back quickly through the formation.

It's a pity that Zhang Xian still couldn't help but make a move.

Lin Shaopeng and Zhang Hong's obstruction made Zhou Zheng secretly happy in his heart. However, the appearance of the little white wolf almost ruined his plan to play dead. Fortunately, he whispered to the little white wolf, and the little white wolf actually understood what he meant, and in addition to deliberately showing anger, he also quietly removed the white light that protected his body.

For the sword technique of combining two swords and comparing wings that is comparable to the peak of the heavenly rank, if it was before, Zhou Zheng must be cautious and take it seriously. However, since landing his third punch yesterday, his vision has improved qualitatively. Dealing with such a sword technique, he was more at ease, easily avoiding the vital points, and quickly using his qi and blood to shatter the sword qi remaining in his body.

However, he didn't expect Lin Shaopeng to be suspicious, so he had to get close to confirm that he was dead.

At this time, thanks to the little white wolf's appearance of protecting the owner, he bumped into Lin Shaopeng, so that Zhou Zheng did not wear a goof.

After that, there was chaos all around, and Zhou Zheng took the opportunity to hold the little white wolf and left the scene without realizing it, and came directly to the Twilight Valley.

For this little white wolf of unknown origin and extremely close to him, Zhou Zheng was happy and suspicious. Zhou Zheng couldn't see how high the little white wolf's cultivation was, but with that protective body white light alone, it was at least the level of the upper echelons of the Heavenly Rank.

However, no matter what kind of magical power Zhou Zheng used to check, no matter how he looked at it, he was just an ordinary little wolf cub.

This can only show that the little wolf's secret skills are extremely good.

Moreover, the little white wolf also has a special technique, that is, it can synchronize the picture it sees into Zhou Zheng's field of vision.

This gave Zhou Zheng a bold idea for a while. He put the little white wolf in the mountain forest at the entrance of the Twilight Valley, while he hid in the place where Yuzhu practiced, but did not enter the mist first.

It is too dangerous in the water mist, although he has nine thousand catties of pressure to compress the water spiritual power to absorb, but after the sea of qi is full, he must keep urging the spiritual power, on the one hand, resisting, and on the other hand, quickly releasing spells and consuming spiritual power.

This process can't be too long, otherwise, he won't be able to bear it at all.

Therefore, in order not to be discovered by Tongzhen, he had to wait for Tongzhen to come, and then he hid in the mist.
