Chapter 255: Duke Dusk, Rekindle Hope

"Who?" Su Yunqing drank heavily.

The gray space seemed to shake, and a burly figure suddenly appeared in front of it, slowly walking out of the thick fog.

The man was dressed in a hideous armor, pitch black from top to bottom, as if blending with the dark mist, and only the silhouette of the domineering and majestic could be faintly seen.

When he appeared, the screams of the demons became even more terrible, threatening to pierce the eardrums. Surrounded by resentful spirits, he is the well-deserved king of all ghosts!

"Duke Dusk!" Su Yunqing was shocked.

The Duke of Dusk glanced over, his sharp eyes piercing people's hearts like steel needles.

Jiang Chen's soul seemed to be photographed by it, and in a trance, he felt that the dense fog around him was a hundred times denser in an instant, the air was completely emptied, and his chest was so depressed that he almost suffocated.

He hurriedly bit the tip of his tongue to get rid of the illusion, only to hear the duke of dusk say lightly: "You are Jiang Chen?" ”

Jiang Chen hoarsely replied, "Exactly!" ”

Su Yunqing came back to her senses and said busily: "Your Excellency Duke, we are just passing by, and we definitely haven't done anything bad!" ”

Dusk Dusk's voice was cold and hoarse: "Then you tell the old man, Fang Zhan and Zhao Zhengming, why did they die?" ”

Su Yunqing was puzzled: "These two people, I don't know them at all......"

Duke Dusk looked at Jiang Chen with a deep look in his eyes and said, "You don't know, what about this kid?" ”

He suddenly took a step forward, like a huge wave overwhelmingly hitting Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's pupils contracted instantly, a mouthful of hot blood surged up his throat, and the muscles in his body tightened even tighter, and he almost couldn't help but shoot back.

He reluctantly suppressed the desire to draw his sword, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Zhan and Zhao Zhengming both died at the hands of the Futu Sect!" ”

"The old man heard that the boy can't get out of it?" The Duke's expression was very inscrutable, and his whole face seemed to be hidden behind a thin layer of shadows, and there was no emotional fluctuation at all.

Jiang Chen resisted the oppression of the other party's momentum with all his might, and replied: "It is the two bald asses of Ganda Po and King Pingping, who assassinated Fang Zhan and them in order to blame me!" Zhao Zhengming left a bloody letter before he died, telling the truth! ”

Duke Dusk let out an "um", nodded, and fell silent.

Just when Jiang Chen thought that he had believed in himself, suddenly a flower appeared in front of him, and Duke Dusk took a light step, and he came to Jiang Chen in an instant, and bombarded him with a punch on the head.

The aura of the Martial Saint powerhouse was overwhelming in an instant, drowning Jiang Chen's perception.

Heaven and earth completely fell into an endless haze, and thousands of ghosts and monsters around him let out an incomparably terrible wail, Jiang Chen was trapped in it, and his soul was almost lost.

Fortunately, he had already taken precautions, and his body had instinctively leaned back, as if he was about to fall on his back.

Duke Dusk punched him, narrowly piercing through the afterimage left by Jiang Chen, and only the sharp wind swept across his forehead.

But the combat power of the Martial Saint powerhouse is not in vain, Duke Dusk's moves are not old, and his fist changes direction halfway, smashing down on the fragile flesh below.

Jiang Chen had no choice but to use his magical powers, unbelievably crossing a distance of two zhang and escaping from under that fatal fist.

"Not bad." Duke Dusk exclaimed coldly.

The voice was still in the air, and the person had already rushed to Jiang Chen's body first.

The entire space shook again, and a fist with green tendons broke out of the haze, smashing into Jiang Chen's body.

"Bang!"

Jiang Chen's right hand sword was only halfway drawn, and he had to block with his left hand.

Only the wrist bone screamed, and half of the left arm suddenly lost sensation.

And the boiling blood in his body erupted with all his strength due to the crisis on the line of life and death, and the blood mist around his body was churning, red and dazzling.

Duke Dusk approached calmly, and when Jiang Chen pulled out his sword, he slowly stretched out his right hand, and the cloak was spread, and the strange gray color firmly enveloped Jiang Chen, and a deadly black finger had quietly probed into Jiang Chen's throat.

"Chokβ€”"

The "Shadow Chop" was unsheathed at the right time, and a dark brown light poured out.

Jiang Chen forcibly controlled the trembling of his heart, and used all his strength to spread out endless changes in the sword light, blocking the pursuit of the Duke of Dusk.

Fiction and reality, all the changes cannot be hidden from the ears and eyes of the Duke of Dusk. The dark finger shook slightly, and it touched the sword, and the dark light that permeated the surroundings dissipated in an instant.

Jiang Chen clenched his teeth, and the strength of his whole body was concentrated on his right arm, and he burst out, but it was as if he had been pressed against a mountain, and it was difficult to advance an inch.

The two were at a stalemate, and Su Yunqing rushed from behind, and with a sharp side-shift, he attacked Duke Dusk's right shoulder from behind.

Duke Dusk didn't look back, and with a slight elbow lift, Su Yunqing's rushing figure came to an abrupt end.

Taking advantage of this moment, an incomparably sharp light flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes: "Spaceβ€”"

The cold halo had not yet formed, and the Duke of Dusk had already lifted Su Yunqing's shoulder and used her as a meat shield in front of him.

If the "Spatial Scar" is forcibly released, it will first tear Su Yunqing in half.

Jiang Chen clenched his five fingers, and the halo slowly dissipated.

A sense of powerless frustration arose in his heart.

In such a strong environment, the enemy occupied the complete initiative, and he and Su Yunqing's five senses were occluded, and their spiritual senses were dull, and they had no power to fight back at all.

What's more, as a long-established tenth-order "Martial Saint" powerhouse, the strength of the other party is already above the two of them!

Duke Dusk withdrew his fingers, took a step back, and said lightly: "If you can force me to block back, you can be called the top three in this generation of young juniors." ”

As he spoke, he let go of Su Yunqing in his hand and let him gasp.

Su Yunqing retreated to Jiang Chen's side, and after taking a few breaths, she smiled flatteringly: "Uncle Duke, you are really a good person, the younger generation will definitely remember your grace of not killing." ”

Jiang Chen's blood mist was exhausted, and a red tide appeared on his face, which gradually disappeared after a long time.

He stared at Duke Dusk and asked in a deep voice, "The seniors have taken the martial arts exam, what else do you have to advise?" ”

"The old man just wants to ask for his little nephew Luo Jian, whether you are qualified to rob a woman with him."

"Now you know the answer."

"Although the old man asked the answer, he was still very disappointed." Duke Dusk said slowly, "With your current mental condition, you won't live for more than a month, and you are destined to die halfway." Luo Jian lost to you, although he was not wronged, but it was not worth it. ”

Jiang Chen was dark, and said in his heart that this old guy's eyes were really vicious, and he could see my reality at a glance.

It was precisely because he knew that his time might be short, that he was so anxious to go north.

Seeing that Duke Dusk's hostility seemed to subside, Jiang Chen immediately said, "If the senior has nothing else to ask, please forgive me for retiring first!" ”

"It's okay to retire, but remember, you can only go south, not north." Dusk's icy hoarse voice hummed through the nearly enclosed space.

"Why?" Jiang Chen's expression froze.

"Because further north, it is the ghost realm of Sucheng, the place where ten thousand ghosts are reincarnated." Dusk Duke said.

Of course Jiang Chen knew this, and he came for exactly this. He stared into the eyes of Duke Dusk, waiting for the old fellow to say what was going on.

"At the same time, Sucheng is also the place of extreme arctic yin and moonset." The old guy's unhurried tone made people want to pull his beard and pour out the rest of his words, "Recently, an old friend is coming to visit here, so I've been waiting for him here." No one is to come near until he arrives. ”

Su Yunqing knew in his heart, the person Duke Dusk was waiting for, Bacheng was the peerless powerhouse who fought with the Black Sword Saint in the west a few days ago. It was a fight between the gods, how dare ordinary people get involved.

Thinking of this, she gently tugged at Jiang Chen's sleeve.

Jiang Chen didn't care so much, he took a step forward eagerly and said, "I'll just take a look, and I'll come ......when I go."

"Not a breath!" Duke Dusk said indifferently.

"I have to go!" Jiang Chen clenched his fists.

Duke Dusk's deep gaze fell on his face, and he said, "Young man, impulsiveness is not a good habit, especially when you are on someone else's territory......"

Jiang Chen stared at him without giving an inch.

Jiang Chen secretly calculated his strategy, if he put aside Su Yunqing and sprinted with all his might, would he be able to escape from Duke Dusk's men? Anyway, Duke Dusk would not embarrass Su Yunqing......

"Besides, even if you go, it's useless." Duke Dusk stared at Jiang Chen's expression, and there seemed to be a slight smile in his voice, "I know who you are looking for here, but I can tell you clearly, there are only lonely souls and wild ghosts here, and there is no one you are looking for." ”

This sentence hit Jiang Chen's heart like a hammer, causing his secretly condensed fighting spirit to dissipate in an instant.

He trembled, "You...... You know ......."

"Do you not believe the old man, or do you think that the old man is so old and dizzy that he can't even recognize people?" Duke Dusk said, "As long as that person comes within a hundred miles of this area, he can't hide the old man's perception." Since even the old man can't find out his whereabouts, you can't either! ”

Jiang Chen's throat was blocked, and he couldn't speak.

Indeed, there is no need for the Duke of Dusk to deceive me, and if the eldest brother is still here, he will definitely not be able to hide from his eyes. Maybe the idea that I have to see my eldest brother again is simply a false thought......

Jiang Chen had to admit the cold reality, and the breath of spirit that supported him to come here also disappeared.

His back slumped and he almost lost the strength to stand. If it weren't for Su Yunqing's support, I'm afraid I would have fallen on the spot.

Duke Dusk gave a rare smile and said, "You don't have to be disappointed too early, as far as the old man knows, he is a very powerful guy, even if he can't fight Shi Futu, he won't even lose his life." He may be hiding somewhere to recuperate at the moment, as long as you keep this little life, sooner or later there will be a time to meet him. ”

Su Yunqing echoed: "Yes, there are so many deep mountains and swamps in the world, as long as your eldest brother casually drills into the mountains and forests, who can find him......"

Jiang Chen slowly raised his head, and his eyes seemed to have a little more light.

Although it is just an ordinary word of comfort, when it comes to the mouth of a peerless powerhouse, the weight is completely different. In the same way, even if Su Yunqing said it a thousand times, it was not as effective as Duke Dusk's words, this is the infectious power of a big man who moves the world.

Jiang Chen said: "I want to pay a visit to His Excellency the Black Sword Saint, can the Duke help introduce you?" ”

Duke Dusk said: "There is no problem, it's just that the old man can't get away for the time being, let's talk about it next time I have time." ”

Su Yun glanced at Jiang Chen: "Then let's talk about it, next time." ”

Duke Dusk said, "On the way back, you must pay attention to one person. He was about thirty years old, tall in stature, wearing a retro soap robe, wearing a blood-red sword, and a murderous aura. If you encounter him, don't hesitate to turn around and run immediately, otherwise your life will be lost. ”

"Who is this man?" Su Yunqing asked curiously.

"You don't have to know who he is. You just need to know that if he wants to kill you, a sword will suffice. ”

"At least two swords, there are two of us......" Su Yunqing stuck out her tongue.

Duke Dusk's wrist flicked, and there was something in his palm, and he threw it towards Su Yunqing.

Su Yunqing took a look at it, it was a bamboo tube-shaped thing, tied with a red rope, and it looked quite exquisite.

"If you meet that person, pull the rope immediately, and all the troops on the dunes will see the signal and may be able to save your life."

Su Yunqing said happily: "Such a useful thing, then I have to put it close to me." ”

She said as she put the bamboo tube into her breast, and then thanked her repeatedly.

The duke also changed the murderous spirit when he first met, and waved goodbye to the two, a scene of harmony.

After turning his back and walking two or three miles, Su Yunqing covered his chest and frowned, "What do you guess this is?" ”

Jiang Chen replied absentmindedly, "Isn't it your place?" ”

"Seriously, I'm asking about what the old guy gave me just now!"

"He said it was fireworks."

"Can you believe his words?" Su Yun snorted coldly, "I think it might be some kind of powerful spell, the kind that can blow things up to ashes within a radius of three or five miles." That old thing definitely didn't have a good heart, maybe he just hoped that we would die with others. ”

"Possibly, then when you untie the rope, you must stay away from me!"

"You ...... of a shaft"

After a while, Jiang Chen saw that she was still playing with the bamboo tube over and over, so he said, "Since you are so curious, won't you know if you give it a try?" ”

Su Yunqing squinted at him: "Try it here?" ”

"Try it right here."

"Great idea! It's not far from here, and if something happens, the old bastard won't be able to escape! But......" Su Yunqing held her chin and muttered, "what if it's really just an ordinary signal firework?" ”

"Then go ask for another one, I haven't gone far now anyway."

"I think he's going to cut us in two......"

After all, Su Yunqing carefully put away the bamboo tube, and decided not to use it until it was absolutely necessary.

After walking for a long time, he rested for a while, and when he got back on the road, Su Yunqing suddenly pricked up his ears and stretched out his hand to the east: "Someone over there is calling for help." ”

"Leave it alone." For strangers he has never met, Jiang Chen is by no means a warm-hearted and righteous person.

"But that sound sounds familiar......

"Let's take a look!"

The two of them crossed the sand dunes, and soon saw the pitch-black smoke billowing in front of them, and the demonic spirit inside them was overwhelming, and the squeaky screams were incessant.

"It's a stone demon." Su Yun Qingyun had great eyesight, and saw clearly the monsters inside with pitch-black wings on their shoulders and as ugly as Yaksha.

Jiang Chen had also heard of the great name of the stone demon, this kind of monster was extremely hard and difficult to cut with ordinary swords, and each of them was no less than the strength of a fifth-order "marrow washing" martial artist. They are especially good at besieging in groups, hundreds of them are attacking from all sides, even the Xuangang master cannot escape the fate of being sucked dry.

"How many are there?"

"At least two hundred...... Su Yunqing was dazzled by the shadows flying around, and her heart was a little worried, and she muttered, "Let's not interfere with the river water with its well water, or forget it?" ”

"Who's inside?"

"I didn't see it clearly, maybe I was dead......

Before Su Yunqing's words fell, he heard a strange scream from the depths of the black smoke: "Wow, who will save me Du Yulang, Jiangshan is half a point with himβ€”β€”"

The sound is constantly changing positions, and it is distorted by fright.

Jiang Chen heard a familiar taste from it, and said in a deep voice: "It's Du Shan!" ”

The black light flashed, and the shadow sword was unsheathed, and he had already rushed out.

Su Yunqing cursed a word, only half a step behind him, and also followed into the smoke.

The brilliance of the Slashing Sword was obscured by the thick smoke, and it was inconspicuous, but it was like an invisible wave of water passing through, and the stone demons fell like raindrops, and their squeaky screams became more and more alarming and piercing.

The stone demons sensed this uninvited guest, and divided more numbers to gather around Jiang Chen.

In an instant, the sky was filled with the sound of flapping wings and claws.
