Chapter 288: Vitality
Zu Qiu was the first person to arrive here, and the moment the warning sword qi appeared, he had already seen it, but it was a little far away, and it was still a step too late to rush over with all his might, and this place had already become a quiet ruin.
All that was left was the rustle of falling gravel and broken wood, and beyond that, there was an extremely strong smell of blood, plus all kinds of mottled smells mixed with everything.
Zu Qiu stood aside and quietly examined the ruins that were revealing their full appearance, and his expression became extremely strange.
There is a five-meter-deep pit in the center, and there is a scene of broken walls and ruins within a hundred meters around, plus twelve corpses, how can it be described in a tragic word here.
Chu He Mukuan and the others also rushed over at this time, and when they saw the scene in front of them, their expressions were a little moved.
Xia Hou swallowed his saliva, his face was extremely happy, fortunately he hadn't fought with Lu An before, otherwise there might be him in the group of people lying on the ground, right?
After Mu Kuan examined it for a while, his expression was also strange, here he felt an extremely familiar aura, and pulled Xia Hou beside him, "Senior brother, do you feel it?"
After asking this, Mu Kuan saw that Zu Qiu had already stared at him, so frightened that he quickly coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.
Xia Hou also trembled twice at this time, "How is it possible, isn't this the breath of the sect-breaking curse?"
Mu Kuan hurriedly squeezed his eyebrows, and Xia Hou immediately covered his mouth.
"Breaking the Sect Curse, isn't this your Sword Pavilion's thing, are there people from your Sword Pavilion here?" Jiang Qiong asked.
Chu He sneered: "It must be used by Lu An, if it was used by these people on the ground, Lu An would have died a long time ago, and if he didn't die, he would have been severely injured, and if he wanted to get out of his body, it would definitely be impossible." ”
"Don't you explain?" Jiang Qiong asked.
Mu Kuan was not frightened at all, and retorted very stiffly: "What's all the fuss about this? Talisman is not something that is not passed on, naturally a few will be circulated outside, some people will buy it, some people will sell it, and some people will sell it, and some people will use it, is this strange?"
These words also made Jiang Qiong speechless instantly, and it did seem to make some sense.
However, although Mu Kuan said so on his lips, he also had the same doubts in his mind, where did Lu An's sect-breaking spell come from?
After thinking of a possibility, Mu Kuan's expression became even more aggrieved, and he directly snorted heavily, and then turned to leave.
As soon as Mu Kuan left, the rest of the people also dispersed, and the expressions on their faces were not very good-looking.
Taking advantage of the turmoil, Lu An took advantage of the chaos to escape, and was hiding in an attic at this time, his whole face was pale, such a high-intensity battle, he had been lazy for a year, to be honest, Lu An was really a little unaccustomed.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lu An immediately began to meditate and recovered.
The next period of time was unexpectedly calm, no one around him passed, and he spent the most dangerous period of time.
Lu An clenched his fists tightly, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the next thing was to adjust his state.
At this time, the sky is finally getting dark.
Xiang Shui was extremely annoyed at this time, and Lu An's whereabouts seemed to have disappeared in his eyes.
He had already come fast enough for the commotion in front of him, but it was still too late, and he saw Zu Qiu and the others chatting there from a distance, and he didn't dare to stay longer, so he looked at it twice and left.
In the following time, he never found any trace of Lu An, but saw a familiar person.
Zhang He appeared in front of his eyes again.
Xiang Shui knew that he was not his opponent, and he was extremely cautious and did not approach, but dared to watch from a distance, but Xiang Shui wanted to see what Zhang He wanted to do.
Of course, it would be great if Wei Wei and Han Bin could be found through Zhang He.
Zhang He was swaggering around the neighborhood at this time, he was also looking for Lu An, now the entire Guofeng City was full of all kinds of monks, the more people there were, the more chaotic it became, at this time, he was naturally not worried that someone would recognize him, even if he did, then what could he do? Who still has time to deal with him.
However, his biggest task at this time was not to find Lu An, but to complete what Lord Han gave him, that is, to kill people, and to kill as many people as possible, preferably those from the three major sects.
Zhang He has been wandering secretly for a long time, but unfortunately he has never found a good opportunity.
He alone can only kill some lonely ordinary monks, almost all of the people of the three major sects go together, and he wants to solve them quietly, to be honest, it is still a bit difficult.
Secretly twisted someone's neck, and then used a sword to disguise the wound, and after doing all this, Zhang He secretly left.
However, all this was seen by Xiang Shui, and an extremely strange expression appeared on his face, what Zhang He did was the same as what he did, could it be that he was also helping Lu An?
With this doubt, Xiang Shui continued to follow, and then he saw Zhang Hemao in a place, cautiously staring at the two people not far away.
Xiang Shui recognized at a glance who these two people were, the people from the Burning Gate.
Looking at Zhang He's sneaky appearance, a thought instantly appeared in Xiang Shui's mind, "He doesn't want to help Lu An, but wants Lu An to fall into a situation where he can't recover, right?"
However, Xiang Shui didn't have the idea of wanting to stop it, and even had an expectation, wanting to see what kind of situation would become after this happened, as for whether Lu An was dead or alive, he didn't care now, just follow Zhang He.
But after observing for a long time, he found that Zhang He still didn't make a move, Xiang Shui was puzzled for a while, and then he figured it out, he didn't dare to do it.
Xiang Shui chuckled, "Since you don't dare, then help you add fire." ”
immediately touched it, and Zhang He immediately found Xiang Shui who was approaching, and his brows furrowed directly, "Why are you?"
"Don't do it. Xiang Shui hurriedly replied.
"What are you doing here?" asked Zhang He, puzzled.
Xiang Shui pointed at the two people who were about to leave, "Do the same thing as you!" said and took the lead in moving, and the blue water directly turned into a thin line to surround the two people.
Zhang He was instantly surprised, but he didn't hesitate and rushed straight forward.
With the cooperation of the two, the two people from the Flame Gate immediately couldn't bear it and fell down in an instant.
After doing all this, Xiang Shui fled directly.
Unexpectedly, Zhang He actually followed, and said as he ran: "What happened last time was a misunderstanding, don't care, it was Lord Han who misunderstood you." ”
Hearing this, Xiang Shui nodded although he was a little unsure.
"If I had known that we were a gang, I would definitely not have been cruel to you, who told you to protect that Lu An at that time? Zhang He suddenly muttered to himself.
Xiang Shui was helpless, so he could only reply: "Indeed, it's all something that Master Wei ordered, and I can't help it." ”
Zhang He smiled directly, "What you did today was also ordered by Wei Wei?"
"That's for sure! I've killed six, what about you?" Xiang Shui asked.
"With the addition of those two, I've already killed fifteen. Zhang He replied proudly.
Hearing this number, Xiang Shui was surprised, after calculating it in this way, there are a lot of people who died in Guofeng City today, plus Lu An killed twelve people, there are already more than thirty on the surface.
"What are the two adults asking us to kill so many people for?" Xiang Shui asked.
Zhang He examined Xiang Shui for a while, and then replied: "You don't know this, that's naturally for Lu An, first force him into a desperate situation, and then win him over." ”
Xiang Shui suddenly realized in an instant, wanting to force Lu An into a desperate situation, in a dilemma, at this time, the sky continued to throw olive branches, and Lu An had no reason not to accept it.
"It's for him to waste so much energy, alas, it's really troublesome!" Xiang Shui sighed.
Zhang He said with an exaggerated expression: "I heard that Lu An is just a passing target, and what adults want most is not him." ”
These words directly made Xiang Shui's spirit tremble, and he asked eagerly, "Oh?
Hearing this, Zhang He shook his head directly, also with a confused face, "It would be nice if I knew." ”
Xiang Shui nodded in disappointment, and then laughed dryly twice.
"Let's go, try to get rid of a few people from the Sword Pavilion Taiyi Sect. Zhang He said with a grin.
The water can only keep up.
......
Seeing that the sky was just getting dark.
Chu He was also prepared, but his expression was a little complicated, he thought that it could be solved during the day, but no one expected to be tossed by Lu An for such a big battle, and in the end, he ran away, making him stay up until the night.
Chu He's fingers tapped the scabbard, and the expression on his face showed that he was extremely anxious at this time, although he had already made arrangements, the three sects were guarding in three different directions, and the last remaining city gate position was naturally handed over to the strongest Wei Wei.
But even with such meticulous arrangements, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart for some reason, and he was a little worried about the location of the most secure city gate.
It's not that he is not worried about Zu Qiu's strength, it is precisely that Zu Qiu has brought him too strong confidence, but it makes him feel a little stunned, and he always feels that something will happen there.
But because of Wei Wei's request, he had no choice but to stay here honestly, waiting for Lu An to choose a path of no return.
Mu Kuan on the other side leaned against the wall, holding a bright red dagger in his hand, and sword qi came out from this dagger from time to time, directly cutting his clothes one after another, the expression on his face was extremely serious, as if he was thinking about something, or hesitating about something.
Xia Hou deliberately chose a place ten meters away from Mu Kuan, looking at Mu Kuan extremely puzzled, not understanding why he was so solemn, the thing in his hand Xia Hou felt extremely frightened, and looked up at the dark distance from time to time, as if he was worried about something.
Jiang Qiong kept walking back and forth, with a hint of anger in her expression.
"Where have you gone?" the question came straight out of his mouth.
In the course of an afternoon, the four disciples of the Yihuo Gate suddenly disappeared.
Xiao Shi shook his head, his eyes dodged, he wanted to say the guess in his mind, but he didn't dare, so he could only respond with silence.
In fact, Jiang Qiong herself knows very well that in this case, if the four of them have disappeared for so long, then there is only one possibility.
"Lu An! I must kill you! Yihuomen is not with you!" Jiang Qiong gritted her teeth and said this fiercely.
......
Wei Wei, Han Bin, and Sun Shu were walking on a small path at this time.
Han Bin walked in the first place, and Wei was ashamed of Sun Shu following behind him.
Lu An was out of luck because of his curiosity. Sun Shu said regretfully.
Wei Wei sighed, the expression on his face was a little ugly, this time the matter was not led by him, he didn't even know how this thing became like this all of a sudden.
If it were him, he would definitely not put Lu An into this situation, to put it mildly, this situation is simply a dead end, even if he can get away with it in the end, then Lu An will become an existence that everyone will be punished in the eyes of all monks, this time Han Bin did it too ruthlessly.
Han Bin chuckled, "This kind of genius must need some polishing, talent is the most hypocritical and ethereal, before it is transformed into actual combat power, everything is empty talk, if you don't polish it well, wouldn't it be a waste of this talent?
"Lord Han, isn't this test a little too difficult?" Sun Shu said with a sigh.
Wei Zhen also showed this expression and looked at Han Bin.
Han Bin smiled again, "Difficult? Isn't it difficult, how can it be called a test? If you want to stand side by side with you and me, shouldn't you let me wait to convince me? I will never agree with him just by name, Wei is ashamed, don't you say?"
This sounds like he is talking about Lu An, and the underlying meaning feels like he is talking about Wei Wei, Wei Wei naturally heard the meaning of this, and did not refute it, but just smiled and nodded, agreeing with Han Bin's words.
Looking at Wei Wei's reaction, Han Bin felt extremely happy, and laughed directly, "Let's go, let's see with our own eyes whether Lu An can pass this test, and by the way, do what we need to do well." ”
Sun Shu nodded, his fingers hooked to the side, and a green figure knelt directly on one knee in front of the three of them.
"Your Excellency. Pothos said respectfully.
Han Bin was the first to speak, "This time you did a good job, after the matter is over, let's find Master Sun to receive the reward." ”
Pothos was instantly ecstatic, "Thank you, sir." ”
At the moment when the pothos appeared, Wei Zheng's expression froze instantly, and he stared at the pothos directly.
"Wei is ashamed, don't you think it's surprising? The ordinary people who are bought by money in your eyes are actually our own people. Sun Shu said with a smile.
Wei Zhen nodded, his expression still a little shocked, so it seemed that everything he had done was exposed under the noses of others.
Wei Wei felt a little disgusted by this, he felt that Han Bin was extremely distrustful of him, but he was also a little helpless.
Sun Shu also saw that Wei was a little displeased, and hurriedly explained: "Master Wei, don't be angry, in fact, this is a test for you, and now you have successfully passed it." ”
Wei Zhen showed an extremely dissatisfied expression on his face, and at the same time said in a mocking tone: "So, I want to thank the two adults?"
Han Bin smiled slightly, directly hooked Wei Wei's shoulder, and whispered: "Don't be angry about Wei Wei, each of us is valued by the Fujun differently, but you are the most important point that the Fujun fancies." He pointed to his head.
"Ten of us in the future, you are our brain, as the most important brain, then loyalty is the most important, you can fail, but you can't betray, if you don't prove it, I won't give my back to you. Han Bin suddenly said earnestly.
The tone suddenly changed to a different style of Han Bin, which made Wei Wei feel a little unaccustomed, and after hearing these words, although Wei Zhen was still dissatisfied in his heart, he could only nod.
Han Bin patted Wei Wei's shoulder and said bluntly: "After this matter is done, you are qualified to be on an equal footing with us, but even so, I still don't like you very much, especially your eyes." ”
After saying this, Han Bin walked forward directly, and Sun Shu Luluo immediately followed, leaving Wei Wei standing in place stupidly, not knowing how to react.
In the end, Wei Wei rubbed his eyes, smiled, and still followed.
Attic.
When it was completely dark, Lu An silently opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled a large mouthful of turbidity.
At this time, he recovered to the peak in all aspects, and the momentum of the whole person directly reached the extreme at this moment.
I changed out of the blood-stained black clothes, took out a clean white shirt and changed into it, and retied my hair in a bun by the way.
I re-prepared the things on my body, the Kun Dragon Mirror, the Five Elements Sword Array, the Sect Breaking Spell, the Thunder Talisman, and the more than 20 spirit crystal essences that I had scavenged today, all of which were ready, and then pinned the Meteorite Sword to my waist.
After everything was ready, Lu An stood on the roof of the building, looked up at the bright moonlight, and then looked directly at the city gate.
If you choose the other three directions, no one will find out that they have snuck past unless they are extremely lucky.
But this kind of probabilistic thing, Lu An doesn't believe it, the probability of being discovered is extremely high, and once it is discovered, it is almost impossible to get rid of.
If you want to break through from the front, it will be even more impossible, unless you kill them all.
Only in the direction of the city gate, Lu An has a trace of vitality, if no one guards there, it would be the best, but this is also an impossible thing, earlier these people drove Lu An in this direction, it can only be said that there must be someone at the city gate waiting for Lu An, but there are many people, and Lu An has no way of knowing.
But there must be a group of people at the gate of the city, and there must be someone stationed there in the Jianzhang battalion, as long as they meet them, then all this will be a little easier.
Of course, if there are many people stationed there on the other side, then Lu An has no choice, this is a fateful thing.
On the one hand, it seems to be dangerous, but in fact there is a lot of life, and on the other hand, it feels hopeful, but once it is discovered, there is almost no life at all.
Two different paths, Lu An chose to trust his instincts and chose a path that did not seem to be opportunistic.
The greater the danger, the greater the relative chance.
After packing up everything, Lu An walked slowly onto the street, not in a hurry.
