Chapter 426: Flames and Madness
Although the half-saint powerhouse's long-planned all-out blow only swept through Huizhou County from the sky, the beam of light that made the rising sun fade still inevitably brought chaos to the crowd below.
After the roar that seemed to be the earth dragon turning over, the queue waiting to enter the city downstairs at the city gate directly lost order.
Ordinary people didn't know what was happening, but knowledge had long told them that the tall walls would provide them with shelter.
The vegetable farmers who carried fresh fruits and vegetables desperately tried to squeeze into the city to seek refuge, but were knocked to the ground by the caravan guards on tall horses, and the vegetables and fruits were spilled on the ground, and the leader of the caravan tried to bribe the soldiers on duty to let them go, but was scattered by the chaotic crowd, and countless shouts and curses resounded under the city cave.
And in this state of chaos and disorder, the first person to die soon appeared.
A thin old woman cried out with blood on her head, trying her best to lie on top of the bamboo basket with her body to protect the vegetables she was going to use to subsidize the family, but she was ruthlessly knocked to the ground by the crowd, trampling back and forth, until she was silent.
"Trespassers, slash!!"
As the words fell, a martial artist wearing the uniform of the city defense officer randomly slashed at the side waist of several men who wanted to escape into the city while taking advantage of the chaos, and with the blessing of cultivation, the blade directly cut off several people!
The men of the City Defense Division moved their knives.
The bloody images and evil aura instantly shocked the chaos below, but this order only lasted for a few breaths.
Because after a few breaths, another shock came from the sky.
And this time, unlike the first roar that was far away in the sky, it happened just outside the city of Huizhou.
The mortals under the walls didn't know what was happening, only that the roar was followed by the majestic wind pressure.
The powerful Gangfeng swept down from mid-air, and the shock wave generated by the collision hit the earth, and the weak people were directly shocked and vomited blood!
The neighing of the horses, the cries of the crowd, and the unseen fear spread under the walls, and the order that had been established collapsed again, and the crowd began to rush desperately towards the city.
Under the crowd of people eager to survive, dozens of low-level martial artists of the City Defense Division were no longer able to maintain order.
Some people were lucky enough to escape into the city, but many more were stuck under the door of the tower by the surging crowd, and there were cries and shouts as far as the eye could see.
Squeezing back and forth, left and right, making them unable to breathe, some people wanted to retreat, but they couldn't retreat, and the feeling of desperate suffocation directly enveloped everyone under the city cave.
And at this time,
An even more desperate voice came.
It was a low roar.
Hearing the sound and looking up, the heavy city gate was slowly pressing under the doorway
There was a sudden silence in the cave for a moment, and then there was even more panic and violent quarrels!
"The miscellaneous pieces of the city defense division have gone down to the city gate!!"
"Hurry up. Hurry up!! Hurry up!! ”
"No, no!! The gates are down! ”
"Boom—"
The officials of the City Defense Department in charge of the city gate have seen monsters and participated in the suppression of bandits, but what is happening in front of them can no longer be explained by these things.
An unknown crisis came, and for the safety of the entire county, in order to avoid further deterioration of the situation, he could only choose to close the city.
And as the city wall crushed down, the panicked crowd suddenly noticed that the sky was also changing little by little.
The lotus-like turquoise light curtains condensed in the sky above the city, and they were connected to each other, and a sky curtain was directly formed within a few breaths and covered the huge county town!
The Great Protector Array has been activated!
The hearts of those who recognized this canopy were relieved, but unfortunately, most of the people in the city had never seen such a picture, and chaos and disorder quickly spread from the city gate to the whole city
By the time the loud and noisy shouts reached the courtyard, the dust had not yet settled.
Compared with the chaos in Huizhou County, the courtyard is a little eerily quiet.
Xu Yuan didn't expect to see Li Yunqing here, let alone that he was assassinated above, and this kid was still having such a good time here.
However, Xu Yuan was relieved, after all, this kid said when he left before that he wanted to experience the "customs" of this place.
His gaze swept over the woman under him, and Xu Yuan's eyes immediately froze.
In the warm morning sun,
The stunning woman is lying on her back on the cold stone table, her red dress is half-dissolved, and she can vaguely see the ups and downs of her chest and the beautiful curve of her lower abdomen.
"Ahem!"
A low cough suddenly broke the silence in the courtyard, and also pulled Xu Yuan's gaze from the stunning woman's body to Li Yunqing's body.
Look at each other for a moment,
Li Yunqing grinned.
Xu Yuan also smiled, and then looked back.
“.” Li Yunqing.
Men, how can a woman be good-looking?
Of course, Xu Yuan didn't stare at this stunning woman because he thought it was good-looking, mainly because he was familiar.
Yes, familiar.
Although the woman's clothes and appearance in front of him have changed, under the prying eyes of his spiritual vision, this woman should be the red man who accompanied Li Yunqing that night in Guangyang Mansion.
The thought flashed, and Xu Yuan's eyes staring at the woman's beautiful figure couldn't help but bring a hint of scrutiny.
As the world's top flying mount, although the speed of the Xuan Eagle is not even comparable to that of the Great Grandmaster, it is better to last for a long time, and can continue to fly for half a month.
In the case of ultra-long-distance travel, the original powerhouse may not be able to reach the destination faster than the Xuanying Attic, and this woman actually arrived in Huizhou County at the same time as them.
In this way, this woman is Li Yunqing's hole card?
No wonder Lou Ji threw him here
In the strange silence of the courtyard, the woman who was originally lying on the stone table suddenly disappeared from Xu Yuan's field of vision, and when she reappeared in the next moment, she was already neatly dressed in the complicated red dress.
The enchanting woman bowed generously to Xu Yuan not far away:
"Qianxi has seen the third son."
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, did not answer the woman, but looked at Li Yunqing and hooked the corners of his lips:
"This is"
Li Yunqing's face dissipated with embarrassment, and he said with a smile:
"One of the king's favorite confidantes."
"So she's a brother and sister, right?"
"Changtian, it's not wrong that you understand it that way."
"Then you still said in Guangyang Mansion that you wanted to send her to me?"
“.” Li Yunqing.
The words fell silent, and Qianxi's drooping bright eyes suddenly narrowed.
It's not because these three sons are flirtatious in their words, but because the other party is just a condensation soul that can penetrate her disguise.
"Don't be surprised, Lou Ji told me."
Xu Yuan casually made up a convincing explanation, glanced at the woman, and asked directly at Li Yunqing: "Yunqing, what kind of cultivation is Qianxi?" ”
Lou Ji casually threw him here, thinking that he should have noticed the situation on Li Yunqing's side.
This woman's cultivation should not be weak when I think of it.
Li Yunqing didn't answer, straightened his robe, and called softly:
"Qianxi, I'll ask you again for a long time."
Hearing this, Qianxi bowed slightly, and said skillfully:
"Back to His Royal Highness and the Third Prince, Qian Xi broke through the metamorphosis by luck on Chinese New Year's Eve this year."
Metamorphos
Xu Yuan's eyes lit up instantly.
Although Lou Ji's old sister was guarding the side, the situation in front of him had reached the point of life and death crisis for him.
Looking at the appearance of the woman in the black dress who had just appeared, the solemn look on Lou Ji's face, the other party's cultivation should also be a demi-saint.
Since the Heavenly Prison Pavilion had already sent a demi-saint to come, the probability of having other powerhouses with him was close to one hundred percent.
Moreover, the beam of light that the other party sneaked up on was obviously planned for a long time.
In other words, it is very likely that other powerhouses have already lurked in Huizhou County.
Now there is one more strong person to help, which is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow
Thinking about it,
Li Yunqing pointed to Xu Yuan's somewhat embarrassed clothes, frowned slightly, and asked knowingly:
"Oh my God, this is an assassination?"
Xu Yuan bowed slightly, and pointed to the already fully unfolded city protection array in the sky:
"Lou Ji has already dealt with the assassin."
"You were assassinated, what are you doing here?"
“.” Xu Yuan.
Seeing the smile in Li Yunqing's eyes, the corners of Xu Yuan's eyes couldn't help jumping.
Relative Counting,
Li Yunqing still had that curious expression, and even winked at Xu Yuan.
Damn, this time it's finally your kid's turn to beg me, can't I kill you?
Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, and said with the same smile:
"Doesn't this need Junqing's help?"
"Help?" Li Yunqing raised his eyebrows, still curious: "What kind of help?" ”
Xu Yuan smashed his mouth, gritted his teeth and nodded with a smile:
"The person who came to assassinate is not weak in cultivation, I'm afraid I need your red face to help"
"I'm going to make a move."
Li Yunqing frowned and touched his chin, and suddenly asked:
"What about the sister-in-law? He wouldn't sit idly by, would he? ”
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this:
"Sister-in-law?"
"The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Prison."
"She's a sister-in-law, so what is your sister?"
"To each his own."
Li Yunqing replied with a smile: "You are a brother-in-law and a brother, it is not too much to call that saint a sister-in-law." ”
"If your sister knows, you will have to be beaten somewhat."
"You dare to tell my sister?"
“.” Xu Yuan.
After being silent for a few breaths, Xu Yuan looked at this deflated three with blank eyes:
"Yunqing, your sister-in-law left some time ago, and now your brother-in-law and brother have been assassinated, you can't die without help, right?"
Li Yunqing showed a touch of worry and nodded:
"Long God, this king naturally can't die for you, but this king borrowed your seven million taels of silver when the city was closed in the north, you see"
It's broken.
Xu Yuan said tentatively:
"I think it was like five hundred."
"Alas"
Li Yunqing sighed lightly, looked up at the sky, and his eyes were gloomy: "Changtian, Qianxi is my beloved, I want her to protect you under such a strong person, you said that if you encounter danger."
Looking at the pretending virtue of this hanging man, Xu Yuan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and asked:
"Li Yunqing, aren't you afraid to bury me?"
Li Yunqing replied with a smile without thinking:
"Although Li Zhaoyuan is very bold, he doesn't dare to break the city and kill you directly, I'm afraid this burial king can't accompany you."
“.”
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan asked expressionlessly:
"The cash and silver tickets are not enough, can the materials be calculated?"
"Brother Changtian is refreshing."
Li Yunqing smiled, arched his hands, and stretched out his hand in front of Xu Yuan: "It's okay." ”
Xu Yuan stretched out his hand and touched it into his arms, and was about to take out a Sumeru ring, but suddenly paused, and said in a voice for no reason:
"By the way, Yunqing, do you know who the person who came to assassinate this time is from the forces of the forces?"
"Huh?"
Li Yunqing hesitated lightly and shook his head: "How do I know this?" ”
Xu Yuan stared into his eyes and smiled:
"I don't know. Do you want to know? ”
“.”
The words fell silent, and Li Yunqing's heart skipped a beat.
Finish the calf.
The hanger was going to pull him into the water again.
At this point, if he knew the identities of those assassins, let alone a prince, the prince would have to be killed here.
Thinking of this, Li Yunqing turned around directly and wanted to leave, but his movements suddenly stopped.
Wrong.
He realized something.
From the time Xu Changtian was thrown into his courtyard by Lou Ji, he had already been pulled into the water.
It doesn't matter whether he really knows it or not, as long as Xu Yuanwang reveals the identity of the other party when he encounters those assassins, and then says: [I have told the third prince your identity], then he will definitely enter the assassination list.
Damn it! In this Xiangguo Mansion, no matter how big or small, it's a silver coin?!
“.”
The sun is still shining in the courtyard, and the smoke that has just risen has already landed.
The three people standing on the stone slabs and blue bricks did not speak, and Li Yunqing's expression was uncomfortable as if he had eaten.
Although he called this woman over to ensure the safety of Xu Changtian, the king and eight calves, why is he so uncomfortable now?
While his thoughts were wandering, Li Yunqing suddenly caught a glimpse of a small black shadow flying towards him.
Subconsciously caught it, spread it out and took a look, but found that it was a Sumeru ring.
Li Yunqing was stunned in his heart, and raised his eyes to look at the man opposite.
Xu Yuan just stood there and stared at him with a smile:
"This is what you gave me in the Northern Lockdown City before, I have never touched it, and I will return it to you now."
“.” Li Yunqing.
Holding the Sumeru ring, Li Yunqing opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.
Damn it
Why did he actually feel that this hanging behavior made him a little moved.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yunqing stuffed the Sumeru ring into his arms and rubbed his eyebrows:
"Okay, well, Qianxi, you will follow Changtian for the time being, listen to his orders, and protect his safety."
Hearing this, Qianxi immediately bowed and said:
"Yes, Qianxi will do her best."
Li Yunqing looked back at Xu Yuan, stared at him deeply, and said:
"Xu Changtian, I will lend you Qianxi temporarily, this time you owe me a favor."
Saying,
He paused for a moment, and said faintly:
"There is also Changtian, Qianxi is my beloved, and her safety is also very important."
“.”
Xu Yuan's face remained unchanged, but his heart suddenly froze.
Although he thought that Li Yunqing would have hole cards and be able to summon some high-level powerhouses to help him, after all, he had a large interest in the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, if he didn't have any connections, then Li Yunqing would really be a fool.
But Xu Yuan really didn't expect that the opponent's hole card turned out to be one of his celebrities, and it was also a red-faced face in the mortal realm who obeyed his words.
The relationship is too intimate.
As a prince who didn't even dare to break through the three-rank grand master in order to prevent the prince's suspicion, is it really normal for Li Yunqing to have such a strong man by his side?
Completely abnormal.
Even for the heirs of these top forces, the powerhouses of the Mortal Realm are not cabbages, let alone the Mortal Realm who obey their words.
The thoughts in his mind flashed in an instant, and Xu Yuan understood the meaning of Li Yunqing's words.
This mortal woman named Qianxi should be the person who the prince has placed around him.
Li Yunqing wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of his beloved.
After a moment's pause, a smile appeared on Xu Yuan's face:
"Don't worry, I don't have a chance to do anything wrong to your loved ones right now."
Li Yunqing rolled his eyes:
"Your cultivation can't break her body."
Xu Yuan's eyes swept the other party up and down strangely, and glanced at the powerhouse of the fusion realm:
"So you've been thundering and not raining?"
"Also?"
Li Yunqing grasped the point, glanced at Xu Yuan contemptuously, shook his head, and smiled mysteriously:
"Qianxi is different from my sister, she is a gentle and good woman."
"Gentle?"
"She'll relax on her own."
“.” Xu Yuan.
Li Yunqing waved his hand:
"What are you doing here?"
Xu Yuan smiled dumbly:
"In such a hurry to get me away?"
Li Yunqing laughed angrily:
"The person they want to assassinate is you, not the king, as soon as you will be blocked in this courtyard, I can only let Qianxi protect the king first."
Xu Yuan chuckled when he heard this, and then bowed with a serious face:
"Yunqing, this love is received by the son, and there will be a chance to return it to you in the future."
"Come on, don't drag me into the water in the future.
Li Yunqing smiled and waved his hand, and as he spoke, he pointed to the pit in the courtyard that was smashed by Xu Yuan:
"Remember to deal with this pit before you leave, this king doesn't want to be tortured by those assassins to confess your whereabouts because of this."
Speaking of which,
He turned around and walked directly towards the stone tile house in the courtyard, leaving Xu Yuan with a pretending to be forced and sassy back
Seeing the door closed, only Xu Yuan and Qianxi were left in the courtyard for a while.
Qianxi bowed and reminded:
"Third son, where are we going now?"
Xu Yuan's eyes flickered with blood, and he replied softly:
"Let's go to the Eagle Loft first."
Qianxi didn't ask the reason, but said:
"The Xuanying attic is in the beast room of the Alien Beast Division, some distance from here, do you need the concubine to take you there?"
Xu Yuan was not surprised that the other party knew the location of the Xuanying attic, and shook his head:
"I'm afraid the assassin has already infiltrated the city, and it is too risky to fly through the sky."
The beautiful eyes showed a touch of thought:
"Chief Lou protected your son with a Qi machine, and the concubine didn't feel your breath before you fell into the courtyard, so those assassins shouldn't know about it."
When you speak,
There was no shyness on her beautiful face, as if the protagonist of Xu Yuan's crash just now did not have her.
Xu Yuan bowed slightly when he heard this.
Li Yunqing should not have the quirks of being watched, if he knew that he was coming, he should have stopped his movements.
And speaking of this, Qianxi's words suddenly turned around, and she said in a low voice:
"It's just that Childe, your cultivation is too weak, and those assassins may be able to find out where you are with a single soul search."
Xu Yuan chuckled and replied firmly:
"These people haven't found me yet."
His unfurled vision did not detect any snooping opportunity.
As he spoke, Xu Yuan took out the willow ghost blade that Tianyan had brought him from the Sumeru ring.
As soon as the ghost blade came out, an ominous aura instantly filled the entire courtyard, and crazy emotions spread in Qianxi's heart.
Qianxi's eyes froze slightly, and she instantly suppressed the negative emotions in her heart, but there was a trace of jealousy in her eyes.
With her cultivation and eyesight, she can't see through this blade, but will be affected by it.
Xiangguo Mansion, actually handed over such a treasure blade to a condensing soul?
Just when she was surprised, Qianxi saw the third prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion in front of her holding up a knife flower in the air.
And then
"Poof."
He stabbed the ghost blade directly into his flank with his backhand.
I was stunned.
Why did the third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion suddenly play self-harm here?
And
With the failure of such a strange blade, the opponent's soul condensation cultivation will be wiped out if it is slightly bruised.
"Hum—"
A burst of invisible Qi machine spread from above the ghost blade, Xu Yuan's face turned slightly pale, and a majestic cold aura seeped into his body along the body of the ghost blade.
Even if he is already of the same origin, he can't afford the Qi machine of this willow wood ghost blade now.
But for the sake of concealment, he can only do this.
Under Qianxi's surprised gaze, the Qi machine on Xu Yuan's body disappeared little by little, and finally disappeared completely.
Her beautiful eyes blinked, and her sexy red lips opened slightly:
"It's."
Xu Yuan pale and withdrew the willow wood ghost blade into the Sumeru ring, and said in a low voice while using his skills to stop the bleeding:
"With the secret method, this ghost blade can suppress the living vitality, like dry bones, so that the outside world Qi machine cannot sense it."
"Secret method?"
Sideways gaze.
She didn't understand, why the Soul Condensing Realm could use such a level of means?
Xu Yuan didn't mean to explain to this woman, and replied casually: "The Prime Minister's Mansion is confidential." ”
This secret method was created in the illusion in order to escape the pursuit of Tianye and the Heavenly Pavilion.
He was able to use this cultivation now, thanks to the Blood Yuan Heart Falling Technique that had devoured a part of the Saint Rank Yin Source, otherwise he would have died violently the moment the ghost blade pierced into his body.
Seeing this, Qianxi didn't ask again:
"It's a trespass."
Xu Yuan waved his hand indifferently, and asked out loud as he walked in the direction of the courtyard gate:
"You can hide from Lou Ji that she followed us all the way to Huizhou County, and I shouldn't have to worry about the art of breathing, right?"
Qianxi smiled slightly, and slowly followed behind Xu Yuan:
"The third prince of this matter, please rest assured, the concubine is still quite confident in the technique of concealment, but."
Speaking of this, her words paused slightly, and she asked with a little puzzlement:
"Childe, you have such means, why don't you find a secret room to hide? It should be impossible for the Assassins to find you. ”
Xu Yuan chuckled, raised his eyes and glanced at the heavenly dome that was already shrouded by the great array of city protection:
"They may not find it."
"What about you."
"But they can slaughter cities."
Out of the courtyard and out of the alley, Qianxi quietly snatched a carriage, left a dozen taels of broken silver for the stunned victim, and then drove in the direction of the Alien Beast Division with Xu Yuan.
The carriage is the first-class civilian carriage.
Ordinary bantam horses, ordinary apricot wood bodies, the wheels under it have been some years, even on the smooth official road is a little bumpy.
However, at this time, Xu Yuan didn't have time to care about comfort, and the most common carriage on the street was the least noticeable.
Along the way, the chaos and bustle on the streets continued, but compared to the beginning, there were already some low-level martial artists on the streets who began to maintain order.
It's not the government that catches fast, but the warriors who wear the costumes of the gentry and the guests.
I think it should be Xiaobai, and she is exerting her strength.
For Xiaobai, a "countryman" from a poor place, the rich city of Huizhou County will be her territory in the future, and both people and things are rare resources and must be well maintained.
And in addition to the mortals who were chaotic on the ground, the fight between Lou Ji and the fairy of the woman in the black dress continued.
It's just that the two of them are in action, and everyone in Huizhou County, including Xu Yuan, can't see it except for those assassins and Qianxi.
All they could hear was the unsettling roar that continued to explode above the heavenly dome and the ripples that continued to ripple over the turquoise canopy of the great protective array.
If it weren't for this big city protection array, just the aftermath of Lou Ji's fight with the woman in the black dress would probably have razed Huizhou County to the ground more than a dozen times.
Thinking in his heart, Xu Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at the sky, looked at his palm, and sighed lowly.
If he was still cultivating in the illusion, if he was still the original ghost, why would the situation in front of him be like this.
"Little ghost, what are you doing in the Xuanying attic?"
His thoughts were interrupted by a voice that rang deep in his heart: "It shouldn't be very safe over there. ”
"Of course I know it's not safe."
Coming back to his senses, Xu Yuan glanced at the blood god stone jade pendant hanging on his chest, and replied with a smile: "But the most dangerous place is often the safest, isn't it?" ”
Luo Xiran snorted lightly, and his tone was a little helpless:
"Hmph, don't talk nonsense with this seat."
Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, and the appearance of the woman in the black dress came to mind:
"Well, it's actually the woman in the black dress that makes me feel a little familiar."
"Familiar?"
Luo Xiran sneered: "You can recognize that woman with a mask?" ”
"No, it's her charged light spell that reminds me of an old friend of mine."
"The deceased?"
"Hmm."
Xu Yuan responded, the old man he knew in his previous life "Cangyuan".
Luo Xiran's voice was a little strange: "How old you are, you should know how risky it is to go, if you go here and collide with those assassins, it will be difficult for this seat and this girl to protect you." ”
Xu Yuan exhaled a long breath, chuckled and said:
"If they can't find me, they will slaughter the city indiscriminately, so it's better to do what they can now."
After the words fell, Luo Xiran was silent for a while, and sighed:
"I hope you know what to expect."
Xu Yuan chuckled in a low voice:
"Don't worry, me."
"Third son, something has happened to the Alien Beast Division!"
Before the words fell, a crisp voice with a slight incomprehension suddenly entered the carriage.
Xu Yuan's brows furrowed, and he subconsciously pulled the curtain of the car and looked in the direction where the Alien Beast Division was located.
As if to respond to Qianxi's reminder, the sky in the direction of Xu Yuan suddenly bloomed with a white light.
And then
A mushroom cloud of flames slowly rose, creating a shockwave that directly leveled several surrounding blocks!
The majestic heat wave was rolling in, and the turquoise canopy formed by the large protective array instantly became a little dim because of this impact, and even Xu Yuan, who was miles away, could vaguely feel the majestic temperature inside.
Stunned as he watched the sudden release of the spell over there, Xu Yuan subconsciously felt that the people in the Heavenly Prison Pavilion were crazy.
According to common sense,
Using large-scale destructive spells to slaughter the city can indeed force him out, after all, he always has to resist when the spell explodes on his head, but this is completely the last resort, why do these people start to slaughter the city directly without even looking for it
When Xu Yuan was stunned and puzzled in his heart,
An old and withered voice resounded throughout Huizhou County with madness:
"Kill! You guys are going to die!! Heheha!!! ”
