Ukiyo-e Dream Chapter 189 The Imperial City
Outside the room, stepping across a narrow corridor several feet, Gao Yun came to the deck.
In an instant, Gao Yun's eyes were greeted by a young man dressed in satin blue and slowly shaking a gold-patterned paper fan in his hand.
His appearance is not outstanding, flat and unremarkable, and he will not attract the attention of others at all when placed in the vast sea of people. But between his eyes, there was a faint trace of evil purple light, and there was a subtle smile lingering at the corner of his lips, but the seemingly peaceful and harmless smile fell in the eyes of others, but it was a terrifying smile like death, like a small snake that could kill people in an instant, which made the viewer's heart suddenly feel a strong chill.
At this time, he was standing on top of the black steel statue at the head of the spirit boat, and not far in front of him, there were four black-armored guards lying on the ground, blood pooling into a pool of blood.
Gao Yun's aura swept slightly, and his face was suddenly gloomy as ice, and his fists were clenched tightly.
The guards were gone, and there was no hope of survival.
"Hehe, the genius city lord of the Imperial City, but his subordinates are so poor......"
The man in blue chuckled and glanced at the corpse on the ground, shaking his head slightly.
"Who are you, and why did you kill them?"
Although Gao Yun didn't know them, after all, they were all his own subordinates, and when he saw a few wisps of life pass away so easily, he immediately became angry in his heart, and shouted in a deep voice at the man in blue.
"Why do you want to kill? do you need a reason to kill?" the corner of the man's mouth twitched, "Actually, I came here only to be entrusted by others to take the life of you, a so-called genius." ”
Gao Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, firmly locked on the man.
"Hmph, whether you are the dog of the Heavenly Soul Emperor or the Earth Spirit Emperor, take my life, you are not qualified enough!"
Although Gao Yun said it very smoothly, he had a faint strange feeling.
It was as if these words didn't need to be thought about at all, but automatically came out of his mouth.
Although the man in blue did not reveal his identity, Gao Yun immediately guessed seven or eight points by analyzing the memories left by Ying Huang about the various forces in the Netherworld.
There are many people who want to kill him, and the most likely ones are the other two forces in the Netherworld, the Heavenly Soul Imperial City and the Earth Spirit Imperial City.
For a long time, the Netherworld has been occupied by the two major forces led by the Heavenly Soul Emperor and the Earth Spirit Emperor, who have lived here for more than 10,000 years, and their depth is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
In order to compete for the talents and resources of the Netherworld, the two of them fought openly and secretly all year round, until five hundred years ago.
The Shadow Family, where Shadow Huang belonged, was originally just a small family in the Broken Isles in the south of the Netherworld. But more than 700 years ago, his ancestors and his generation unexpectedly obtained a wisp of emperor inheritance during their travels, with the help of the protection of the supreme powerhouse, the shadow family rose rapidly, and in just over two hundred years, it gradually unified a large area of broken territory in the south of the Netherworld, and through reasonable development and effective management, the originally dilapidated wasteland has developed into an indispensable material center of the Netherworld, and has become a place where the Heavenly Soul Emperor and the Earth Spirit Emperor dare not underestimate in the slightest.
Five hundred years ago, the Shadow Family built the Imperial City, and Ying Huang's grandfather, Ying Wuyan, proclaimed himself Emperor Youyou, officially marking the formation of the Three Emperors of the Netherworld.
Of course, the sudden rise of the emerging forces is not what the two old forces are willing to see, but the existence of the Shadow Family and its subsidiary strength of nearly twenty Heavenly Netherworld Realm powerhouses has made the Imperial City of the Shadow Hidden Realm have the qualifications to compete with the two major forces, after all, according to the background of the two of them, they only have less than thirty Heavenly Netherworld powerhouses each.
In terms of absolute strength, they may be able to overwhelm the Imperial City, but it is unlikely that they will be able to completely subdue it, but this does not mean that they will give up any opportunity to attack the Imperial City.
After all, Ying Huang, as the young city lord of the Imperial City, according to his qualifications, if nothing else, he would also step into the Heavenly Netherworld in the near future, and if he could take advantage of the opportunity to go out alone, he would be able to get rid of him, so as to weaken the strength of the Imperial City, and the two families would be happy to see it.
However, they are naturally not stupid enough to come forward in person, after all, it is not good for them to completely stalemate the relationship, so waiting for an opportunity to assassinate has become an inevitable choice.
If Gao Yun expected it to be good, the person in front of him was the killer who didn't know which one was secretly sent!
Hearing Gao Yun's arrogant words, the eyes of the man in blue suddenly changed, and the soft lines on his face suddenly stiffened slightly.
"Very well, I appreciate your arrogance, but that's the end of it!" his bewitching purple pupils shrank suddenly, and his viper-like eyes burst out, and he shouted sharply.
Before the words fell, the man in blue immediately stretched out his palm and grabbed it towards Gao Yun.
As soon as he grabbed it, a majestic and mysterious black qi suddenly swept away, and it directly turned into a huge palm phantom, which was grabbed fiercely at Gao Yun's Heavenly Spirit Gai.
Looking at the fierce giant hand that fell quickly, the corners of Gao Yun's lips suddenly sneered, and then his eyes suddenly sharpened, and between the palms of his hands, a slender scepter with a little silver light flashing around his body suddenly appeared.
"Break the Evil Wind and Thunder!"
As Gao Yun secretly drank in his heart, a huge thunderbolt of light with a width of a foot immediately appeared from the head of the scepter, and it shot towards the black palm like lightning.
As soon as the confrontation began, the thunder light suddenly burst open, the arc of light flashed, and the almost condensed black palm was hit hard, and cracks immediately spread out from the palm of the palm, and finally exploded with a bang......
The man in blue saw Gao Yun take out the scepter and suddenly knew that something was wrong, and his body retreated sharply to avoid the fierce wind carried by the thunder, but the rapid flashing arc still caused half of his hair to be turned into ashes by the power of the violent thunder and lightning, as if he had been shaved by someone, and his appearance suddenly became quite ridiculous.
"You actually got the Sky-Breaking Thunder Staff!" Looking at the silver-light scepter in Gao Yun's hand, the man in blue who was standing in the void was obviously caught off guard, and his face became completely solemn.
Zhu Ling, who was standing not far behind Gao Yun, stared at him, a sneer appeared on his face, and said, "I have long expected that you will come with me, this is a specially prepared gift, don't refuse!"
The man in blue looked at them, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Gao Yun's heart suddenly jumped.
Could it be that this kid still has some tricks hidden?
"Yinghuang, you are indeed very good, whether it is your mind or skills, but it is because of this that you have the value of being killed by us!"
Although his tone did not fluctuate in the slightest, and it sounded very flat, Gao Yun felt that a trace of resentment and tyranny was slowly gushing out from the body of the man in front of him.
Without waiting for Gao Yun to speak, Zhu Ling, who swept in front of him, had already replied first: "Hmph, when you are dying, you still have a hard mouth, do you only have more verbal skills?"
Listening to Zhu Ling's very straightforward provocation, the smile on the corner of the man's mouth became more and more hideous, only to see him stretch out his finger and suddenly point towards his heart.
Suddenly, a thick black aura rose from his chest, quickly turning into a strange and huge black flame.
The flames did not emit a scorching temperature, but Gao Yun's heart trembled when he saw it, and he immediately pulled Zhu Ling behind him.
"Be careful! it's Spectral Flame!"
Hearing Gao Yun's reminder, even though Zhu Ling was bold, his face turned slightly pale in shock, and he was immediately silent.
Soul Flame is one of the stunts that the Heavenly Soul Imperial City is famous for, and it is so terrifying that it is said that even the soul can be incinerated by it.
"Is he committing suicide?" Looking at the man's strange movements in the flames, Zhu Ling's lips trembled slightly.
"It's not suicide," Gao Yun took a deep breath, "he's absorbing the power of the Ghost Flame!"
In an instant, a violent black aura surged out from the man's body, expanding and becoming stronger at an astonishing speed!
And his closed eyes opened suddenly at that moment.
At this time, in the depths of his pupils, there was a blood-red condensation, and in those blood-colored pupils, there was an indescribable evil.
At this time, in the entire space, a violent wind suddenly rose, blowing the corners of the blue-clothed man's clothes to hunt.
The huge spirit boat was also blown and shook slightly.
Against the backdrop of the monstrous black fog, he was like an evil god descending into the world at this time!
