Chapter Seventy-Four: The Dark Shadow That Looms

The afterglow of the setting sun renders the huge buildings of Nanjing City, crossing a layer of beautiful glow, and against the background of the Black Bone Mountains in the distance, it looks ancient and mysterious.

The statues of the four great Xuantian masters were also covered in a layer of red gold in the setting sun, showing a kind of domineering spirit.

At this time, the amplified Xuan array above the Xuanwu Arena sounded, and a crisp and beautiful female voice came out: "The knockout round on the first day of the Taizong Yuan Trials is over, and sixteen powerful teams have been promoted from eight rings, and tomorrow's semi-finals are destined to be an exciting battle of dragons and tigers! The list of the top 16 will be screened on the canopy of the arena, please confirm by yourself in each team, if you have any questions, please contact the relevant departments of the arena!"

After the lottery ceremony was completed, Chu Xinghe and Kong Xu left the main ring and came to the center of the arena, looking up at the huge dome canopy, a piece of information gradually emerged under the effect of the Xuan Array.

The list of the top 16 in the Taizong Yuan Selection Tournament and the distribution table of the battle——

1. Gongsun team: Gongsun Lei, Gongsun Jun.

2. Tianyun team: Luo Tian, Luo Yun.

3. Flying Tigers: High Fly, High Tigers.

4. Wood planting team: Li Yang, Li Bai.

5. Ouyang team: Ouyang Xun, Ouyang Qing.

6. Nanfeng team: Li Nan, Li Feng.

7, Hungry Wolf Team: Zhao Duo, Zhao Biao.

8. Hunters: Zhou Tong, Zhou Kui.

9. Wolf Tooth Team: Li Lei, Su Ya.

10. Binghe team: white ice, white river.

11. King Kong Team: Li Jin, Li Gang.

12. Shura team: cultivating ghosts and rakshasas.

13, Dragon and Tiger Team: Chu Xinghe, Kong Xu.

14, Tianshan team: Zhao Chen, Ling Xue.

15. Thunder Team: Lei Jie, Lei Young.

16, Situ team: Situ Tan, Situ Ming.

Chu Xinghe looked at this battle table carefully, and thought in his heart: I didn't expect this draw to be so coincidental, Ouyang Xun, Gongsun Lei, Xiu Ghost and Rakshasa were all separated in the first round of sixteen into eight games. If nothing else, in the final of the eight-in-four, it will be the real finale!

Seeing the end, Chu Xinghe recognized one of the names in the last Situ team: Situ Tan. Sure enough, among the young children of the three major families, there was no more suitable candidate besides these people. Ouyang Xun, Gongsun Lei, and Situ Tan represent the future forces of the three major families, and in this game, I believe that no one can give in. At the same time, as Chu Xinghe expected, he was the only one in the entire Zhennan Wangfu to advance to the top 16.

On weekdays, the teenagers who think they like to judge behind people's backs are all planted on the elimination line. When Chu Xinghe's name appeared above the canopy, the princes and ladies of the palace who had been ridiculing him in the past lowered their heads one by one, and at the same time they were unwilling in their hearts, they also had to admit that Chu Xinghe's talent had indeed returned.

Mo Yunchong looked up at the huge line of ink characters in the top 16 list on the canopy-Dragon and Tiger Team: Chu Xinghe and Kong Xu, and a relieved smile appeared on his face: "Lord Wang, the former Young Master Xinghe has returned, maybe the next time your father and son meet, Young Master Xinghe will grow to a height that even you can't believe!"

It was night, a restaurant facing the Baishui River in Nanjing.

Mo Yunchong and Mo Yuntao sat by the window, toasting each other.

"Second brother, I haven't seen you for so many years, I didn't expect your cultivation to be a thousand miles a day, and you are no longer under your brother!" Mo Yunchong looked quite excited when he hadn't seen his brother for many years, and frequently raised his glass, sighing at the changes over the years.

"Big brother, although you haven't made much progress in your cultivation over the years, and you are still trapped in the peak realm of the Great Xuan Master, you are the chief of the guard of the Zhennan Palace. This time, the king of Zhennan entered the king of Jingqin, and handed over the entire palace to the eldest brother to take care of, which shows the trust of the king of Zhennan in the eldest brother!" Mo Yuntao was also emotional.

"When I said goodbye, you and I had a small achievement, which was not easy. It's just a pity......" Mo Yunchong said this, his eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of sadness, and with the strength of wine, he muttered: "It's a pity that Yunzhu can't see all this anymore......"

"Big brother, I know that Yunzhu has always been an indelible pain in your heart, but so many years have passed, and you should let go. Mo Yuntao put down his wine glass and persuaded: "What's more, you also personally killed the murderer of Yunzhu back then, so don't blame yourself anymore, let everything pass with time." ”

"Hehe, I'm really a failure, I want you to worry about your second brother. Mo Yunchong laughed at himself, then poured a glass of wine, raised his glass and said, "That's right, let it pass!" I believe that Yunzhu is in the spirit of the sky, and he will not want to see our two brothers living in her shadow. Second brother, come, cheers!" After speaking, Mo Yunchong tilted his neck and drank all the wine in the cup. However, before he put down his glass, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he jumped out of the window.

"Big brother!?" Mo Yuntao was startled, and looked out the window at the dark river of white water.

Not far away, on a wooden boat, Mo Yunchong had already jumped up, but his burly body landed lightly on the wooden boat.

At the front of the wooden boat, a boatman in a black robe wrapped tightly around his body held a wooden oar in his hand, and shook it for a while, but the boat stopped motionless on the Baishui River, facing the restaurant not far away.

"What a 'Thousand Steps Camera', who are you? How dare you follow me!" Mo Yun shouted sharply.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that if I eavesdropped so far away, I would be discovered by you, Mo Yunchong, the chief of the Guard Pavilion of the Zhennan Palace, really deserves his reputation!" A sharp ghost-like howling voice came from under the black robe, and Mo Yunchong frowned when he heard it.

"Who are you sacred? If you delay any longer, then don't blame me!" Mo Yunchong said coldly, the fire attribute Xuangong in his body was running, and a fiery red heat came out of his body, diffusing and imposing, it was the Xuan-level low-level Xuangong "Splitting Sun Fire Divine Technique". The heat spread, like a shape, into a figurative image of the god of fire, soaring over the Baishui River, illuminating the surrounding distance of more than ten meters.

"What a 'Splitting Sun Fire Divine Technique'!" The black-robed man stopped paddling the wooden paddle in his hand, turned around, and faced Mo Yunchong, suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, and a large stream of black gas gushed out from under the black robe. The black gas was like ink, glued and intertwined in the air, sometimes turning into a skeleton, sometimes into a hellish ghost, roaring incessantly. The black-robed man shook his hands away, and the black gas rolled out to form an eight-handed ghost on the top of his head, hideous and terrifying, and each hand condensed different forms of sword weapons, knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hammers, maces, hooks, and the momentum was also extremely terrifying.

"Dark Xuangong, Ghost Dao Method!?" Mo Yunchong couldn't help but be shocked, and in an instant, fragments of memories kept flashing through his mind. Black gas, ghosts, blood, corpses...... Mo Yunchong's face became extremely ugly, and even the momentum of the Fire God behind him was also dissipated for a while, obviously his mind was greatly shaken.

"Hehe, you really haven't come out of that shadow yet!" The sharp laughter of the black-robed man shook Mo Yunchong's heart, and at the same time as cold sweat broke out on his forehead, an angry emotion filled his brain, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You're not dead yet?"

"Hahaha, do you think I'm dead? Even if I do, I'll crawl back from the depths of hell and pull you into hell together!" The black-robed man's grim and cold words made the black ghosts above his head even more arrogant and domineering, sharpening their knives.

"Thunder Halberd, Kill!" A thunderbolt-like sound suddenly exploded in the clear sky, and a blue-blue thunderbolt changed into the form of a war halberd, breaking through the air and roaring, piercing the body of the black-robed man. On the pitch-black Baishui River, Mo Yuntao stepped on the river, and jumped into a small wooden boat with a few ups and downs, blocking the black-robed man in the middle. However, the thunder halberd that had just pierced through the black-robed man sank into the bottom of the wooden boat, piercing the small wooden boat, and the river was surging in an instant.

Killed the black-robed man with one move, Mo Yuntao looked at the black-robed man's back with a cold face, but he didn't see the black qi on the black-robed man dissipate for a long time.

"Hehe, Mo Yuntao, over the years, your cultivation has also made great progress!" The black-robed man was pierced through his body by the thunder halberd, but he spoke easily as if he was nothing.

Mo Yuntao's brows furrowed, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly shouted at Mo Yunchong on the opposite side: "Big brother, be careful, this is the 'corpse incarnation'!

"That's right, even this can be seen for you!" The black-robed man sneered: "This is a little gift for you, you can accept it for me!" After speaking, the black-robed man's body swelled suddenly, instantly turning into a black gas as thick as ink, and under the control of the eight-handed ghost thing, it flew towards Mo Yunchong and Mo Yuntao brothers in two directions respectively.

"Vulcan Shroud!"

"Thunder True Body!"

At the critical moment, Mo Yunchong and Mo Yuntao each unleashed their own body protection skills, which could withstand the two black gases. The black gas exploded suddenly, and when it boarded, the entire wooden boat was blown to pieces, like a huge fishing tordo exploding on the surface of the water, and a huge splash was rushed, covering an area of water that covered a hundred feet of water.

The splash fell back into the water, and the two brothers Mo Yunchong and Mo Yuntao stepped on the river, their eyes staring in the same direction. With their cultivation at the peak of the Great Xuan Master's realm, it was not difficult to step on the river, but it was very reluctant to track down an enemy of unknown origin on the water.

"He's back!" The Vulcan shroud on his body was blazing, and Mo Yunchong's face, which was slightly distorted by anger, was frighteningly illuminated by the firelight.

"But back then, it was obviously the eldest brother who burned his body to ashes with your own hands, how could it be ......" Mo Yuntao, whose thunder real body crackled and exploded, said with a complicated expression: "Maybe there are remnants of the Ghost Refining Hall who are looking for revenge under the pretense of his name......"

"No!" Mo Yunchong denied it, gritting his teeth and said: "It is indeed him, even if he turns to ashes, I can recognize the aura on his body, evil, cold, disgusting carrion breath! It must have been him, who didn't kill him completely ten years ago. No matter where you are hiding, I, Mo Yunchong, will definitely pull you out and break you into pieces!"

"Big brother ......" Mo Yuntao looked at the familiar face of the eldest brother opposite, but he seemed to have become very unfamiliar, and a kind of worry grew in his heart.

The deep night is as black as splashing ink.

Deep in the Black Bone Mountains, in an eerie cave. A mysterious man in a black robe sat in the dark stone room, only two green eyes shining with a terrifying light under the black robe. A black gas thread in the black-robed man's hand suddenly broke, and a corpse in front of him suddenly exploded, turning into corpses and spilling down in the sky.

The black-robed man raised his hand and ripped off the black gloves he was wearing, revealing a rotting wrist with five finger bones looming in the rotten flesh. I only heard the hoarse voice of the black-robed man sound: "Hehe, Mo Yunchong, Mo Yuntao, after hiding for so many years, I finally let the old man find you! The reason why the old man is so depressed today that he completely turns into a corpse is because of the two of you brothers, this revenge, if the old man doesn't take revenge, he will be sorry for the disciple of my ghost refining hall who died in vain for no reason!"

When will the black shadow that is about to move counterattack?
