Chapter 253: The Tower Falls

Ying Ziqing stood outside the gate of Afang Palace, waiting anxiously, and glanced at the palace gate from time to time.

At the gate of the palace stood twenty Lang officials with halberds and armor, holding their chests high and not squinting, as if they didn't see Ying Ziqing at all.

Even without these Lang officials, Ying Ziqing would not dare to break into the palace. He's not the kind of Mowgli who doesn't know the rules. If it weren't for his prudence, he wouldn't have been elected to the Heavenly Academy, and he wouldn't have been chosen by the Son of Heaven to become a candidate for the next Great Master of the Heavenly Academy.

He could only wait.

......

In the palace, the Son of Heaven stood in the shadow of the Tianshu Tower, looking at the Tianshu Tower in the distance, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The old eunuch stood behind him, his hands arched, hunched over, motionless.

"Can his sword array stop Gai Wushuang?"

"It should be possible, but ......" the old eunuch hesitated for a moment: "There will be a lot of casualties." Gai Wushuang has been in the Great Perfection Realm for many years, and he is not comparable to the masters of the Nine Realms in the palace. ”

The Son of Heaven was silent, but the smile in his eyes was even stronger.

......

"You're despicable—" Gai Wushuang roared, turning and leaving.

He is a swordsman like no other in the world and has the confidence to defeat anyone. But in the face of these dead soldiers, he had no faith at all.

This is not at all the way he is familiar with fighting. After just a few words, he was seriously injured. If he hesitates any longer, he may be able to kill more than half of these swordsmen, but he will also be here with his life.

In this way, the opponent should be left to Yin Jiao to deal with.

Gai Wushuang wants to leave, how can Wuji let him get his wish. Standing in front of the stairs, he held six long swords, blocking Gai Wushuang's path and directing the swordsmen to attack. The swordsmen were like crazy, desperately rushing towards Gai Wushuang, ignoring Gai Wushuang's long sword.

Gai Wushuang was furious, and he no longer had any reservations, and the Great Perfection realm was brought into full play. Every time the sword is swung, it sets off a bloody storm.

In a moment, Gai Wushuang killed eleven more people, but he also suffered seven injuries.

The swordsmen are not afraid of life and death, and they follow one after another. A swordsman was cut in two by Gai Wushuang's sword, and his lower body fell to the ground, but his upper body pounced on Gai Wushuang, his intestines slid down, and the ground was covered with blood, but he didn't feel it. His arms strangled Gai Wushuang's neck, opened his mouth, bit Gai Wushuang's ear, and pulled it hard.

Gai Wushuang screamed in pain, the long sword in his hand was in chaos, and the three swords stabbed at the same time.

"Poof!" a long sword pierced Gai Wushuang's chest, pinning him to half of his body on his back.

"Huh-" The short sword stabbed into Gai Wushuang's abdomen, and with a strong pick, it cut open his belly. Pick out half of the intestines.

"Smack!" The heavy sword slammed into his face, and Gai Wushuang's face suddenly deformed.

Gai Wu's legs went limp, and he staggered back two steps, leaning against the bookshelf. Knock the bookshelf into a gurgling sound.

"You ......" he raised the sword in his hand and pointed at Wuji, his eyes wide open and full of anger. Didn't wait for him to speak. With a wave of his hand, a swordsman with a long sword flew up and cut off Gai Wushuang's head with a sword.

"Rolling ......" covers the head of the unequaled person to the ground. rolled to Wuji's feet, his eyes were wide open, and he didn't bat at death.

Wuji slowly retracted his momentum, used the Dingqin Sword to provoke Gai Wushuang's head, raised it in front of him, and crooked the corners of his mouth.

The swordsmen put away their swords, regained their stunned appearance, and silently retreated.

Wuji put away the Faxiang, picked up the head of Gai Wushuang, pushed open the door, and walked out. He stood in the corridor, looked at the crowd at the Heavenly Academy, smiled, and slowly flattened the Dingqin Sword in his hand.

Gai Wushuang's head slid down, fell from mid-air, and landed on the square in front of the Tianshu Tower, with a "snap", it fell to pieces, red blood, and white brains mixed together and flowed to the ground.

The two swordsmen carried Gai Wushuang's corpse and threw it out of the Heavenly Book Tower.

With a "boom", Gai Wushuang's corpse fell from the twenty-two-story Heavenly Book Pagoda and shattered into a pile of meat puree.

The people under the tower were stunned by this bloody scene, and no one dared to come forward to check it for a long time.

Wuji looked at Yin Congzhou in the distance, pursed his lips, slowly retreated into the tower, and closed the door.

Yin Congzhou's face turned pale. With his vision of the Great Perfection Realm, of course, he can see Wuji's face clearly. Since Wuji is still alive, it is naturally Gai Wushuang who was thrown down. But...... How is this possible?

Gai Wushuang will be defeated, will be killed by Mowgli, and so quickly?

Yin Congzhou felt a tingling on his scalp.

Gai Zi also saw Wuji's face clearly, and was shocked in his heart, ignoring Linghu Minzhi's obstruction, he jumped up and rushed into the Heavenly Academy. As soon as he arrived at the foot of the Heavenly Book Tower, he saw the pile of bloody corpses and recognized Gai Wushuang's clothes.

"Daddy—" he howled, his eyes red.

"Untouchable, I'm fighting with you—" Gai Zi drew his sword out of its sheath and rushed into the Tianshu Tower, roaring all the way upward.

Wuji stood in the tower, listening to Gai Zi's roar, his face expressionless.

As Gai Zi's roar got closer and closer, Wuji raised the giant que.

The five swordsmen with heavy swords also raised their swords, and with the movement of Mowgli's sword, they slashed with all their might.

"Smack!" the five heavy swords slashed at Gai Zi, who had just rushed up, at the same time.

Gai Zi roared wildly, raising his sword and stabbing upward. A strong sword intent rushed up in his body. A swordsman rushed to the front, a cloud of blood erupted from his chest, and his body fell backwards.

But the other four swordsmen didn't even blink their eyes, and silently slashed their heavy swords.

The four heavy swords almost slashed at Gai Zi's head and shoulders. "Smack!" Gai Zi Tianling's cover was shattered, his shoulder blades were broken, and his upward figure fell, landed on the stairs, and rolled down two floors before barely stopping.

Gai Zi didn't even see Wuji's face, so he was killed.

The two swordsmen walked down the stairs in silence, lifted Gai Zi's body, and threw it out of the Heavenly Book Tower.

Watching another corpse fall from the Heavenly Book Tower, there was silence outside the Heavenly Academy. Xie Guanglong was stunned for a moment, flew up, rushed into the Heavenly Academy, and after a few ups and downs, he came to the foot of the Heavenly Book Tower, and saw Gai Zi's incomplete body, and also saw Gai Wushuang in a different place.

"National Teacher-"

"Senior brother—"

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Academy were red-eyed, and they all drew their swords, wanting to rush up.

"Stop!" Xie Guanglong took a step forward and stopped in front of the Heavenly Book Tower, stretching out his arms to block their way. "What's the use of you going up? You are more clever than the realm of the national teacher, and better than the swordsmanship of the senior brother?"

"Xie Qi, you get out of the way for me!" Qin Jiujian pointed at Xie Guanglong and roared angrily: "The national teacher and senior brother have been killed, we can't sit idly by. ”

"Do you have the ability to do this?" Xie Guanglong also roared angrily. "Are you going to let all the Heavenly Sword Academy's entry-level disciples die here?"

Qin Jiu was stunned, and was speechless for a while.

"Go find Yin Guoshi!" Xie Guanglong didn't give them a chance to think, and shouted loudly: "Ask him to preside over the overall situation." ”

Qin Jiu turned around and ran out of the Heavenly Academy, came to Yin Congzhou, knelt down on one knee, and before he could speak, he cried bitterly.

Yin Congzhou understood, and his face became even more ugly.

He suddenly understood why Yin Jiao was in such a hurry. That's right, the Dao realm is too wonderful to be calculated by common sense. Mowgli's strength has exceeded their imagination, and even Gai Wushuang's realm can't defeat Mowgli and his sword array.

Then, now only Yin Jiao himself still has a glimmer of hope.

Yin Congzhou raised his head and looked at the sky.

......

"Your Majesty, two people were thrown down from the Tianshu Tower. The old eunuch reminded.

"Two people?" Tianzi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who could it be?"

"I don't know who, but ......" The old eunuch slowly straightened up, his voice a little cold. "It's certainly not Mowgli. ”

"Oh?" the Son of Heaven raised his head in surprise and looked at the Heavenly Book Tower. The Heavenly Book Pagoda stood quietly, and there was nothing unusual to see. The face of the Son of Heaven was a little weird. "Can the sword array kill Gai Wushuang? ”

He thought about it and laughed again. "If Gai Wushuang is really dead, it will also be a good thing. Without this Heavenly Sword Academy National Teacher, Yin Congzhou was like a broken arm. The next time I see me, his attitude should be a little better. ”

The old eunuch's sparse eyebrows trembled, and a trace of unease flashed in his eyes. He thinks that his realm is not as good as Gai Wushuang. If Gai Wushuang was not the opponent of the sword formation, then his situation would be a little embarrassing.

"You don't have to worry. "The Son of Heaven seems to have seen through the old eunuch's mind. He chuckled, with an indescribable smugness. "Those swordsmen are all my henchmen, without my orders, Wuji is alone, and it is easy for you to take his life. ”

The old eunuch's eyes flashed, and he didn't say a word.

"Xuan Ying entered the hall from the Qing Dynasty. The Son of Heaven waved his hand and turned to enter the temple.

The old eunuch followed him, and the moment he entered the hall, he glanced in the direction of the Heavenly Book Pagoda again. Just for a moment, he stopped, and suddenly lost his voice and shouted: "Your Majesty, look!"

The Son of Heaven raised his head, but his gaze was blocked by the eaves of the main hall, and he couldn't see the scene that the old eunuch asked him to see. Still, he was stunned by what he saw.

As if struck by lightning, the Heavenly Book Tower, which had stood for thousands of years, suddenly burst open like a huge firework. Countless streaks of dust poured out of the Heavenly Book Tower, shooting in all directions, and in an instant, they rushed to the front of Afang Palace and the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven subconsciously raised his sleeves and blocked his face.

The old eunuch's figure flashed, and he didn't see any movement from him, so he came to the Son of Heaven. A true qi burst out, enveloping the Son of Heaven in it. The surging smoke and dust encountered this cloud of true qi and avoided it one after another.

In the billowing smoke and dust, the Son of Heaven slowly lowered his sleeves and looked at the suddenly darkened sky, his face was extremely ugly.

The smoke cleared, and the sky in front of me became brighter again, even brighter than before. Even though countless dust floated in front of him, the sunlight still pierced through the smoke and shone on the open space in front of the temple.

The Son of Heaven slowly walked out of the main hall, raised his head, squinted his eyes, and looked in the direction of the Heavenly Book Tower.

It has stood for thousands of years, and the Tianshu Pagoda that has pressed on his heart since the day he entered the Afang Palace, making him breathless, is gone. The eyes were empty, and the sun was shining, so that people couldn't open their eyes.

There was no joy in the heart of the Son of Heaven, but there was a deep uneasiness.

For the first time in decades, he found that the absence of the Heavenly Book Tower did not make him happy, but on the contrary, it made him feel empty and helpless.
