Chapter VII: Confrontation
Having said that, He Xing had been immersed in the brain of the accident in the West District, and suddenly remembered other things that had happened in the past few days. These events seemed to have little connection with each other, but they happened one after the other in just a few days, which had never been encountered in the always peaceful Xilu. So He Xing boldly guessed at this time that there might be a connection between them. Thinking of this, He Xing suddenly remembered Tao Charter, so he said to Yu Yang: "The charter has not returned to Keyin Village for a long time, I don't know if it has anything to do with these things. You followed the young man who delivered the letter in Keyin Village yesterday, is there any situation?"
Yu Yang pondered: "This person returned to Keyin, and there was nothing unusual on the way. ”
"Tao Xianxian, what kind of fame, don't come to see me. He Xing lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said to Yu Yang: "You go out of the city to join the search force outside the city, and send a team of people to Keyin Village to see what Tao Xianxian is doing." By the way, inform the troops outside the village that if the search is fruitless, the search area will be expanded. ”
Yu Yang took the order and left, leaving He Xing alone to stand in place. A hint of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart, maybe the events of the past two or three days were just the beginning, or maybe the real crisis had not yet come. He himself suddenly felt a sense of fear, something he had never felt since he became the Lord of Xilu City. And at this moment, facing this former prosperous business district, which has now become empty, He Xing's heart feels extremely painful.
On the secluded path outside the village, Demon Heart sat bored on a rock, looking at the flowers and plants around him, seemingly interested. During this day, he walked around the city of Xilu, and found He Xing's residence, he was going to set a fire before leaving, but before he could do anything, the city entered the garrison, and began to strictly investigate. So he had to give up this idea, and in order to ensure safety, he also left Xilu City in advance. Unexpectedly, outside the city, there were also troops searching everywhere. It seemed that He Xing was going to fight his life to investigate thoroughly, so he had to go farther and farther, and came to a short distance outside Keyin Village, waiting for Bian Lu to meet him.
As the Demon Heart was fiddling with the flowers and plants on the side of the road, a dull shuttling sound came from the ground in front of him, and a dark green light flashed on the ground, and Bian Lu flashed out of it.
"Tomorrow is the day when the king agreed to march into the army, and I was worried that the young master would be too late to come back! As soon as Bian Lu appeared, he said to the demon heart with a smile.
Demon Xin stared at the flowers in front of him, didn't look at Bian Lu, but said in his mouth: "Uncle Bian, this is not thanks to you!" After hearing this, Bian Lu frowned, and did not understand, only listened to Demon Heart continue: "You collapsed people's houses yesterday, and people are crazy today, mobilize the army, and you have to catch the murderer, and now the city and outside the city are strictly investigated! Keyin is so close to Xilu, I am afraid that he will soon be searched here." We have to do it quickly, otherwise it's only a matter of time before the formation is revealed. ”
Bian Lu was suddenly stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect He Xing to make such a big move. He was already suspicious of Tao Charter's delay in reporting back to Xilu and the identity of the messenger of the Demon Heart, and at this time, he sent someone to search outside the city, and he would definitely go to Keyin to find out the details first, so he wanted to delay time and let He Xing be busy with other things, but now it seems that it has not worked. However, now that He is using the army, he has also spread out his combat power, and if he attacks early, he can defeat them one by one.
Bian Lu felt that he couldn't delay now, so he prepared to go back to the demon heart to tell everything, and strive to attack as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, the demon heart had no idea of going back with him at this moment.
"Uncle Bian, the king has ordered me to be the vanguard of this march, and if the two of us return to the demon clan at the same time, we will not know when they will find the magic circle and whether they are ready to resist it. He Xing is now beginning to suspect the situation in Keyin Village, and there will be a certain danger if we attack rashly. While the demon heart spoke, he was still looking at the flowers, but the essence that flashed in his eyes was all seen by Bian Lu. "I will stay behind to fend off this last wave of enemies coming towards the circle, and to buy time for the king's final attack. When you return to the demon clan yourself, and explain the situation here to the king, I can only guarantee that Xilu will search the troops first and not find the magic circle, and if a large army arrives, I can't do anything. ”
After hearing this, Bian Lu was secretly shocked in his heart, although this demon heart is only eighteen years old, but it can be selected by the demon yuan and become the heir, there must be something outstanding. What's more, Demon Heart has been cultivating with Demon Yuan since he was ten years old, and he must have made great progress in the past few years. Today, he wants to stay here alone and fight the enemy alone, and if he is not sure, he will definitely not risk his life. Although he has not seen his true strength, he can infer from this that the demon heart must be deeply hidden.
"Young master, this matter must not be, the king eight years ago by the whole clan elected a young master, to put a heavy responsibility, but also hard cultivation for more than a few years, if today left the young master here, back after the king will be furious. If the young master had any accident here, Bian was even more speechless in the face of the king. ”
"If Uncle Bian is worried about this matter, then there is no need. The king has always liked brave and powerful people, and he also hopes that I can exercise more, if I dare not do it because I am afraid, or even affect the overall situation, the king will look down on me. ”
Bian Lu had nothing to say after hearing this, but he still didn't worry that the demon heart was here alone to defend the enemy, so he didn't leave for a long time.
At this time, the demon heart finally took his attention away from the flowers and plants, turned to Bian Lu, and said to him again: "Uncle Bian, don't worry, if the king blames you after you go back, you can just put all the blame on me." And maybe the king will not blame you, but will be happy!" A smile appeared on Demon Heart's face as he spoke.
The performance of the demon heart seemed a little strange to Bian Lu, but he really didn't know what was going on. And the demon heart urged again: "Okay, Uncle Bian, let's go, the time is very urgent, and if you delay the military plan, you really can't explain it." Besides, I still have to prepare a little here, and if I don't have time to prepare for the arrival of the enemy, I will be really finished. Under the repeated urging of the Demon Heart, Bian Lu left this place and walked quickly towards the location of the magic circle of Keyin Village.
After watching Bian Lu leave, Demon Heart stood in place and thought for a long time, and then began to prepare for the battle that would come at an unknown time.
On the other hand, after Yu Yang left Xilu City, he found the search force in a forest in the south of the city. After conveying the search order to the team leader, Yu Yang selected ten people from the team to set off with him to Keyin Village. This time he went to Keyin Village, in Yu Yang's opinion, he was just going to find Tao Xianxian, who had never returned, and he didn't care too much, and cautiously, he brought a few more people to go.
The group passed through the road without incident, but when they were about to reach the village of Keyin, they suddenly saw a man in the middle of the road. Yu Yang recognized this person at a glance, he was the young man who came to deliver the letter yesterday. At this time, the demon heart stood alone in the middle of the road, blocking everyone's way. At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and the night was approaching, and in the dim light, everyone didn't see the bloodthirsty smile on the corner of the Demon Heart's mouth.
Yu Yang was at the front of the team, and asked at the demon heart: "Aren't you the young man who delivered the letter to the city lord yesterday? It's so late, you are alone outside the village, I don't know what you are going to do?"
"General Yu has a good memory, and he actually recognized me at a glance. This place is remote and uninhabited, and it is almost night, and I am afraid that the general will have any trouble when he comes from afar, so I have come here to greet him. Demon Heart said seemingly respectfully.
Yu Yang suddenly felt that something was wrong, this person's current speech was completely different from when he saw him in Xilu yesterday. I couldn't help but feel a little more cautious in my heart, and asked, "How do you know that I will come here, who are you, it seems that you are not from this village?" ”
As soon as Yu Yang said this, the ten entourages behind him all became cautious, staring closely at the demon heart in the twilight, not daring to slack off in the slightest. The demon heart not far away laughed, and when everyone heard the laughter, they seemed to feel a chill, and they couldn't help but tremble all over. After the laughter, the demon heart said mockingly: "It's ridiculous that General Yu followed me from the city to the outside of the city yesterday, and he didn't even know who I was. ”
Yu Yang seemed a little angry, "I thought you were just an ordinary villager, but now it seems that I was careless." If I let it go, it should be caught by me again, don't blame me for bullying more and less today. Then he turned back and shouted at several followers: "Brothers, go up together, arrest this person back to Xilu, and hand it over to the city lord of He for disposal." "Although Yu Yang is the commander of the garrison of Xilu City, but seeing that this person dares to stop his own people, presumably this person also has some skills, for the sake of prudence, he did not do it alone, but called everyone to do it together. In addition, he was also a little angry with this person, He Xing said yesterday that there was something wrong with this person, but he didn't see it, and he was provoked by him at this time, and he couldn't hold his breath.
With Yu Yang's order, the ten people behind him each took out the blades they were carrying, drove their horses forward, and went straight to the demon heart. And Yu Yang's right hand mana worked, and he exchanged for a long knife, which emitted a faint white light all over his body, and also rushed towards the demon heart.
The demon heart secretly said in his heart: It's a good time. Then he pinched the mantra with both hands and silently recited the incantation in his mouth. But seeing the green light around him, a huge magic circle suddenly flashed from under everyone's feet. The five runes in the magic circle were infused with mana at this time, and the light suddenly shone brightly.
While Yu Yang rushed forward, he briefly observed the ground formation runes, and suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and the Shadow Thousand Killing Array. In my impression, this array is recorded in the book, it is a kind of formation in the demon race, its advantage is that there are fewer runes in the arrangement, and the preparation is fast, but it consumes more mana when it runs, and the lethality is also great. This person uses the Demon Formation, it is the person who infiltrated the Demon Clan.
Without waiting for Yu Yang to think about it, he felt a majestic magic coming from under his feet, and then, the ground became pitch black, and a light saber transformed by magic power pierced out of the ground and roared towards everyone. Everyone picked up their weapons and quickly resisted, but the magic sword seemed to fly out of the ground in a steady stream, and within five seconds, someone or a war horse under the crotch was stabbed, and then instantly pierced into a sieve. After the magic sword flew into the air, it flew towards the demon heart like an ice cube and merged into its body.
Yu Yang resisted a few times, then dropped his mount and stood on the ground. Immediately, his hands were crossed, and under the operation of mana, a circular protective shield was formed around his body, and mana was continuously injected into it. And in the process, a magic sword stabbed him in the shoulder.
It didn't take long for Yu Yang's ten entourage to be stabbed to the ground one after another, and then stabbed several times and lost their lives. Only Yu Yang tried his best to operate the protective shield, and he kept resisting.
The demon heart felt that it was almost there, so with a wave of his hand, the ground magic circle instantly dimmed and gradually returned to its original state. At this time, the demon heart was originally a little overdrawn, but fortunately, after the magic sword was broken, some of the magic power was absorbed by itself, so it was still possible to continue fighting. And Yu Yang, who was not far away, was exhausted after retracting the protective cover. Originally, the mana consumed by using this kind of protection was not much, but under the fierce attack of the magic sword, he had to continuously send mana into it, so that he was extremely weak. Coupled with the fact that he had been stabbed in the shoulder before, he no longer had much strength to continue fighting.
And at this moment, suddenly a silver light flashed, and the demon heart stood in front of him, with an extra silver sword in his hand at some point, aimed at himself, and at the same time, although his face was a little pale, but a little proud, he was smiling slightly at himself.
