Chapter 229: The Burning Flame

"Lose your head!" Zhao Xiang'er looked at the sparrow, silent for a while, her originally sleepy eyes were clear, she glared at Ning Changchang, and said, "I woke up, you seem to be dreaming!"

Ning Chang glanced at the sparrows on the tree, looked at Zhao Xiang'er with some disdain, and said, "Can you, the Earth Emperor, be a little poetic?"

His voice seemed to be a little loud, and before he could finish speaking, the sparrows in the trees had flapped their wings and frightened away.

"Your poetry has run away. Zhao Xiang'er sneered: "Don't chase it?"

"Little Vermilion Bird is by your side, what does it mean to chase a little sparrow?" Ning Chang said.

Zhao Xiang'er raised her eyebrows lightly and said, "Hmm, do you admit that it's a sparrow?"

Ning Chang was slightly stunned, and didn't know how to explain it, so he said directly: "You just don't want to admit defeat?"

Zhao Xiang'er has always been the one who is unreasonable, but now that the other party is taking the first step, she is a little annoyed for a while: "The fish with a silver ingot before should be fed to Laipi dog." ”

Ning Changchang said calmly: "You invite me to dinner, won't I let you sleep too?"

Zhao Xiang'er was slightly stunned, thinking about the appearance of sleeping on his lap before, and her eyebrows narrowed slightly: "It seems that I was still soft-hearted in Linhe City at that time, and now I can stand being beaten, dare to speak like this?"

Between the words, Zhao Xiang'er stretched out her hand gently, she didn't use any spiritual power, and the sparrow that had been perched on the tree before really flew back and stopped between her fingers obediently.

She has the blood of a divine sparrow, and naturally has a natural control over the sparrows in the world.

Zhao Xiang'er stretched out a finger, lightly tapped its forehead, and said, "Little sparrow, there is a blind man who calls you leaves." ”

The sparrow chirped a few times.

Ning Chang was not convinced, and also walked over, touched its tail feathers, and said, "You will call it Ye Zi in the future." ”

The sparrow screamed, turned his head and pecked his fingers, Ning Chang withdrew his hand, looked at the bird's powerful sparrow, and tentatively compromised: "Or will it be a tie?"

He didn't want to be slapped by Zhao Xiang'er.

Zhao Xiang'er said lightly: "If you beg me, then I will reluctantly agree to you." ”

Ning Chang said: "When you ask me." ”

"Really?" the corners of Zhao Xiang'er's mouth hooked.

Ning Changjiu also looked at her.

All the scattered leaves of the street withered at this moment, the whole street was dyed yellow, the sparrows fluttered their wings and flew away, the afternoon sun seemed to be only two bunches, which happened to fall on the boy and the girl, they stood opposite each other, and between the words and laughter, all the fallen leaves of the sycamore on the ground were cut into pieces.

Ning Chang looked at her and suddenly laughed: "At that time, you were also in a white dress. ”

"Huh?"

"When we first met, outside the Little General's Mansion, I was still a demure but instrumental official lady at that time. ”

"What's wrong with the white dress, don't you wear it too, did Lu marry and talk about it later?

"Can you stop mentioning this......

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Xiang'er's smile was especially bright in the light.

Ning Chang looked at her and said with a smile: "Do you remember when you were beaten by Madame Bai and half covered in blood, and in the end, I carried you back to the old mansion to heal?"

Zhao Xiang'er's eyes flashed, and she said, "Huh, do you want to play the emotional card?"

Ning Changjiu shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know if His Royal Highness Xiang'er still remembers, when you woke up, you were lying on your stomach." ”

Zhao Xiang'er's eyes lit up: "What did you do?"

Ning Chang said: "Of course, I taught His Highness a good lesson, but it's a pity that you passed out at that time and didn't cry." ”

Zhao Xiang'er took a deep breath, her chest rose and fell, and a glow flashed on her cheeks that she didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed, she took off her umbrella and said, "If you don't beat you so much today that Lu Marry can't recognize you, don't think about going back!"

The old red light suddenly unfolded, and in a flash, Zhao Xiang'er had already drawn out the sword in the umbrella, she used the half-open red umbrella as a cover, and the thin sword flashed like lightning, directly stabbing Ning Changjiu's heart.

Ning Changjiu had deliberately provoked her, so he had already reacted, and when Zhao Xiang'er's murderous aura just rose, he also held the hilt of the sword, and when the white light behind the red umbrella flashed in front of him like thunder, the sword light lit up from Ning Chang's sheath, and the iron sword hidden in the sandalwood white sword scabbard was like a catapult, accurately intercepting the umbrella sword stabbed by Zhao Xiang'er like a snake.

The tip of the sword collided with the blade, and the snow-white sword qi collided, exploding a brilliant burning sword fire, and the eyebrows of the two were red in the firelight, and the moment the two swords collided, the whole street seemed to be swept by a strong wind, and all the fallen leaves were crushed into powder and blown clean.

"Your Highness, is this angry?" Ning Changjiu pressed his sword against the opponent's umbrella sword, held the scabbard with the other hand, and the scabbard turned in his hand like a club, and slashed it at Zhao Xiang'er.

Zhao Xiang'er held the umbrella with one hand and turned it, the red umbrella was in full bloom, no matter how fancy and sharp the scabbard was, it was played immediately after hitting the umbrella surface, the shadow of the scabbard was like rain, how could the heavy rain break through the umbrella?

"Angry, heh, I want to thank Ning Gongzi for his frank confession, so that you can list one more crime. Zhao Xiang'er's beautiful eyebrows calmed down, and the umbrella sword pierced out of the sword fire, shaking out thousands of shadows, each of which was like a long whip, covering Ning Changjiu.

Ning Changjiu's eyes suddenly brightened, his sword eyes opened, and he looked at the sword that fell like a rainstorm, he took advantage of the power of the collision between the wooden sheath and the umbrella, his body retreated slightly, and a sword was raised, and he accurately hit the slender umbrella sword in the shadow of the sword, and then he used the sword of the great river to desecrate, the sword turned into a flood beast, and chased after Zhao Xiang'er's sword.

Boom!

At the end of the flood sword qi, the red umbrella appeared ghostly, the sword qi hit the umbrella surface, and there was not a trace of it that could penetrate into it, Zhao Xiang'er turned the umbrella handle, like throwing away the rain, and rolled back all the sword qi that adhered to the umbrella surface.

Ning Chang's face did not change, and the sword aura in his eyes was even stronger, and there was even a faint touch of golden light.

The sword qi that rolled back touched Ning Changjiu's gaze, and it spontaneously combusted like paper, and when the sword qi fell in front of him, it had already burned out, turning into a piece of ash and dispersing. At the same time, Ning Changjiu's sword turned into a white rainbow, this white rainbow fused with the sword sect's white rainbow through the Japanese style, and also mixed with the sword technique in the Broken Boundary City, which was varied, and stabbed at Zhao Xiang'er at a speed that was so fast that it was impossible to see.

Zhao Xiang'er raised her eyebrows slightly, she remembered the trend of this sword.

This is similar to the sword of the unknown man who slashed the Spirit Eater on the day of the Imperial City.

The sword was straight from the side, but when viewed from above, it lacked a slender and beautiful arc like a crescent moon. The straight and curved sword has illuminated Zhao Xiang'er's eyebrows in a blink of an eye, if it is an ordinary person, they will not be able to distinguish the trend of this sword, so they are in a hurry, but Zhao Xiang'er's eyebrows are getting quieter and quieter in the sword qi, she has spent eight years looking at the western country, she does not need any means similar to the sword to clearly capture the trajectory of his sword.

The thin sword poked out like a poisonous snake, cut into the sword light, and hit Ning Changjiu's sword, a puff of exploding sword fire extinguished on the umbrella surface of the red umbrella, and the silent street was full of the wild roar of metal vibration.

"There are a lot of tricks!" Zhao Xiang'er staggered from his figure, turned around, and the tip of the sword stabbed into his back.

"I have a lot of other tricks, Your Highness will know later. Ning Chang shot back. His eyes flicked into the side with his backhand in his backhand, blocking the stabbing sword.

Zhao Xiang'er looked angry: "Look for death!"

She withdrew her sword with one hand, and pressed it with the red umbrella with the other, and the red umbrella rotated at high speed in her palm, like a curtain, which suddenly occupied Ning Changchang's sight.

Ning Chang's gaze was briefly intimidated, and on the side of the red umbrella, Zhao Xiang'er's sword picked out a sword fire and forced it in front of him.

"Earn!"

Ning Changjiu reacted in time, retreated half a step back, and the scabbard in his hand jumped up, blocking the sword, at the same time, he no longer narrowed his eyes, and directly condensed his gaze into two virtual swords, one left and one right, and attacked Zhao Xiang'er like a flying knife with the momentum of horns.

Zhao Xiang'er ignored it, and when the two void swords approached him, they also seemed to have fallen into layers of illusion, without splashing the slightest sound.

This is the "world" she has made at her fingertips.

The umbrella that Zhao Xiang'er hit was like an indestructible shield, Ning Changjiu used his means at the same time as the sword, while catching her constantly changing sword shadow, while dodging the impact of the red umbrella like a shield, his figure was forced to retreat step by step, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of plane trees had retreated.

Zhao Xiang'er's sword became faster and faster, and at a certain moment, the red umbrella in her hand was suddenly closed, and the umbrella that was originally a shield immediately turned into a sword, she held the umbrella handle back, and the red umbrella shook like a dark red rainbow light, crashing towards Ning Changjiu.

Ning Changjiu originally wanted to block it with his sword qi, but before the enchantment of the sword qi started, he was smashed to pieces by the red umbrella, and the roaring fire light like a fire dragon was like a giant arrow shot from a siege crossbow, locking Ning Changjiu's figure deadly.

Next to the plane tree, the young man in white suddenly fell silent.

The umbrella bumped into his figure, but his figure was pure black, and the umbrella passed through the shadow, as if there was nothing. He used the mirror to swap places between himself and the reflection on the ground.

Zhao Xiang'er had expected that at the moment when his figure was reversed, the thin sword was also thrown like an arrow, connecting with the umbrella into a straight line, in that line, no matter how Ning Chang exchanged his figure, the sword would be accurately stabbed.

The girl was originally in control, but in the blink of an eye, the mutation reappeared, and the umbrella on the ground suddenly left the ground and crashed back towards her along the previous trajectory, and her body also moved backwards uncontrollably.

Zhao Xiang'er guessed something, and her face was different.

Her time has been reversed!

After the red umbrella crossed, Ning Changjiu's body and shadow were replaced again. On his side, he held a gun in one hand and a sheath in the other, like a ghost holding two steel blades, his figure flashed and crashed into Zhao Xiang'er's arms.

When the sword approached her, Zhao Xiang'er broke free from the torrent of time, and she didn't have time to react accurately, so she was suppressed by Ning Chang's series of impermeable sword moves, and those sword moves were full of tricks, like a torrent of angry waves, rushing endlessly, covering Zhao Xiang'er wave after wave.

"Is this the authority of time?" Zhao Xiang'er blocked left and right with the red umbrella sword, and suddenly understood: "The woman who ordered the order also gave you the authority?"

He deliberately concealed this matter before, but now it was guessed, which aroused the girl's face full of anger.

At the same time, all of Ning Changjiu's conjured sword shadows condensed into one at this moment, it was a huge sword shadow that almost spanned the entire long street, it was like a white dragon, spitting rainbow light vigorously, sending out a final impact towards the girl.

"Don't think about it, Si Ming is just a monster with a blue face and fangs. Ning Changjiu made a ruthless move, but he didn't forget to explain.

Zhao Xiang'er sneered: "I'm not the kind of stupid woman that Lu marryed!"

The surging flames suddenly rose from Zhao Xiang'er's side, and those flickering flames seemed to be made of countless feathers, and each feather was lit up with the shadow of a divine sparrow. When the dragon pressed down, the phoenix fire rose from the ground and burned towards the sky, and in the midst of the white rainbow and the flames, the two swords collided again, making a piercing sound that was enough to shatter the steel.

The white light and flames poured out like fragments, the centuries-old bluestone bricks on the ground were shattered at the touch of a button, and the long street was like a huge chimney, and the spitting flames gushed out from both ends of the chimney, cutting down the plane trees on both sides along the way, and the walls on both sides began to crumble and melt.

Fortunately, this is a deserted house with no one, otherwise it would have been an uncontrollable tragedy.

The blade of the sword rubbed against the blade, sparks shot out, the burst of sword qi burst into their clothes and hair, the sword shook open several times and then collided together, they were like two iron nails smashed together, closer and closer, their figure holding the sword was getting closer and closer, on one side was the snow-white sword qi washed like a waterfall, on the other hand was the burning phoenix feather in full swing, the girl who had been sleeping on Ning Changchang's lap before, how could she have a half-kitten-like well-behaved appearance at this moment, she was like a god son who came to the world, and the red lotus fire that burned everything burned on the skirt.

The grinding of the iron sword was so sharp that it made your teeth sore.

In the grand flame, their close faces were illuminated incomparably brightly, and Ning Chang could even see her fluffy eyelashes and the bloodshot delicate lines on her thin lips.

Their breath was higher and higher, and in the stirring celestial phenomena, there was a faint tendency of lightning and thunder.

"Click!!"

Before the thunder fell, the sound of the sword breaking began.

As Zhao Xiang'er judged before, Ning Chang'er's sword was not good enough, when he clashed with Zhao Xiang'er at this moment, the vibration frequency of the sword was unimaginably high, even if he was full of spiritual power, he was still overwhelmed, and was shocked in half at this moment, when his sword broke, the sword pushed by Zhao Xiang'er would directly cut off his head with unstoppable inertia and strength.

The moment the sword shattered, a flash of panic flashed in Zhao Xiang'er's eyes. But the sword could not be recovered.

Ning Chang's authority was still pranayama, he gritted his teeth, and burst out with a loud shout, all the power of Shura was like a volcano erupting, and the golden light burst out like a slender golden dragon, climbing up around him, turning into a pure golden huge dharma phase, this dharma is like the legendary Buddha who stands in the sky, but he is far from being as merciful as the Buddha, in his face, half hideous as a ghost, half as handsome as a god, on his thick arms, the shadow of the golden dragon is like a scorching sun engraved with inscriptions, these scorching suns were born in the primeval times, and the brilliance is brilliant.

He was supposed to come in an invincible posture, but it was a pity that his armor had visible cracks, and in his weak hand, a big sword that should have been there was missing, which greatly reduced the strength he could have exploded.

The flaming blade slammed into the golden Asura giant.

In the crashing sound of the sky and the earth, the ripple-like aftermath was thrown out roughly, and the firecrackers exploded repeatedly, setting off countless waves of qi, and the seemingly solid gold-armored giant was actually cut out of the crack by the sword, and this crack extended rapidly, instantly stopping the gold-armored giant and breaking it. The giants were like fallen mountains, burning and falling, smashing inch by inch.

Even if the broken Shura body was sent to the extreme, it still couldn't block this sword burning with three thousand phoenix fires.

The firelight was like a rising phoenix, crashing into Ning Changjiu's arms, and in a flash, Ning Changjiu's figure was cut out, he broke his sword to support the ground, and ploughed an extremely deep path on the broken bluestone road.

After a long time, the soaring smoke finally fell silent, Ning Chang got up with the broken sword, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, Zhao Xiang'er stood in place, her face was also pale, the hand holding the sword drooped weakly, and on her white clothes like snow, a drop of blood splashed in and the flowers bloomed, like a cold plum blooming in the snow.

"That's all you do?" In the end, Zhao Xiang'er was more lightly injured, and she held her sword and walked towards Ning Changchang. The girl seemed to be calm, but in fact she had palpitations, Ning Chang had turned the clock abruptly before, and if the power of those tidal waves was stronger, it might even directly defeat her defense.

Ning Chang stood up, and the moment the phoenix fire added to his body, he seemed to have fallen into a new world, and his eyes were full of white bone demons burning with flesh and blood, and the mental trance at that moment was not fatal, but it gave him a trace of enlightenment, and this trace of understanding was not even inferior to that of the sin king.

Ning Chang looked at the girl in the white dress and quibbled: "My sword is not as good as yours." ”

Zhao Xiang'er was noncommittal, and said, "But your sword is broken, why don't you want to take out another sword from under your skirt like those dancing female assassins?"

Ning Chang looked at the broken sword and said bitterly: "This is the best sword I bought in Zhao Kingdom, Your Highness can't compensate me if it is broken?"

Zhao Xiang'er frowned slightly, then smiled, pointed to this ruined street, and said: "This is my Zhao country's house and street, and now it has been destroyed like this by you, how many taels of silver should you pay me?"

These two young girls who had been inseparable from each other before were so casual at this moment.

Ning Chang looked at himself alone, and said with a wry smile: "Can I use myself to pay off my debts?"

Zhao Xiang'er sneered and said, "Do you want to sell it to the pork shop or to the building?"

Ning Chang pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Your Highness has lived in the deep palace for a long time, isn't it lonely?"

"It's really lonely, and I don't mind if you put on your skirt and makeup, and come and dance for me every day. ”

"Your Highness has misunderstood, I'm just asking, do you need a conscientious husband to teach you how to write the four characters of virtuous and virtuous. ”

Zhao Xiang'er narrowed her eyes and said, "The injury is healed, so I forgot the pain?"

Ning Chang coughed up a mouthful of blood and said, "Your Highness's attack is indeed not light. ”

"If you can't stand it, don't hold on. Zhao Xiang'er said.

Ning Chang glanced at her hand hidden in her sleeve and unable to hold the sword, and said, "You are the same." ”

The two looked at each other for a moment.

"What's going to eat tonight?"

"I want to eat ......"

"Think clearly. ”

β€œ......”

Ning Changjiu came to the appointment, he didn't actually have any entanglements on his body, he could be tough on Zhao Xiang'er on the sword, but he had to bow his head here.

Zhao Xiang'er walked past him, her steps casual.

Ning Changchang's face was equally ordinary, he gently held the hilt of the sword, counting Zhao Xiang'er's footsteps, he wanted to find an entry point, activate the power of time, and defeat her by surprise, but Zhao Xiang'er was also guarded, all her seemingly random movements were actually with a watertight defense, no matter how long Ning Chang retreated to a few breaths, he would not be able to carry out an overwhelming attack on her, but might be chased and beaten by her using the gap of her authority.

"Let's eat the most expensive restaurant here. Ning Changchang smiled indifferently and got up as if nothing had happened.

"The most expensive?" Zhao Xiang'er sneered: "Then I can only mortgage you to pay for it at that time." ”

Zhao Xiang'er thought for a while, and said: "Forget it, it's not easy to miss you, so I'll take you to the largest restaurant in the entire Zhao country." ”

Ning Chang loosened his muscles and said, "His Royal Highness Youlao." ”

Along the way, the two of them seemed to move around normally, but the sword qi popped out from time to time, turning into poisonous snakes that suddenly launched and attacked the people around them.

"I was touched when I saw this high-rise building, and I didn't capture the sword intent, I didn't hurt Ning Gongzi......"

"I saw this autumn chrysanthemum hugging incense in the cold wind, I didn't control my sword qi, and I didn't hurt Miss Zhao......"

"I see that the nine heavens on this stele pavilion listen to the four words, implying the true meaning of the sword qi, and I can't press it for a while. ”

"I look at the four characters of the white head on this plaque for thousands of years, which contains the magic of Taoism, and I lost my mind for a while. ”

"I see this ......"

β€œ......”

"Ten years of solitary light painting screen. ”

"The cold night and the rain are hazy......"

The two didn't get a result against each other, so they started fighting against poetry again.

"Wealth is like smoke, it doesn't last long. Zhao Xiang'er said lightly.

"The copper furnace is lonely and fragrant. Ning Changjiu also took the homonym of the word Xiang.

β€œ......”

In the midst of the harmonious and pleasant exchange between the two, they unconsciously walked back to the palace.

"What are you bringing me here for?" Ning Changjiu walked into the city gate, just as he did on the first day with Ning Zhushui and Song Fang.

Zhao Xiang'er smiled and said: "The best banquet in Zhao State, of course, is in the palace. ”

Ning Chang frowned and said, "You set up an ambush?"

Zhao Xiang'er continued to move forward: "Then you are hungry yourself." ”

The Purple Court Realm can go without drinking or eating for a long time, but the food comes first, and it is more about enjoying the beauty of the food than replenishing the strength.

Ning Chang didn't want to be scared, so he walked calmly beside her.

Even after all this time, none of them let down their guard.

"Hasn't it been repaired yet?" Ning Chang looked in the direction of the ruins of the Qianyu Palace, and found that the waste rocks there had been cleaned up and overgrown with weeds.

Zhao Xiang'er said: "Because when my mother came, the old site of Qianyu Palace was like this. Now that she is gone, the Qianyu Palace will be restored to its original state, perhaps this is the reason for the fire in the imperial city in the first place. ”

Ning Changjiu shook his head lightly and said, "Don't you want to repair it?"

Zhao Xiang'er smiled faintly: "I have repaired it a few times, but I can't fix it, maybe this is what my mother meant." ”

Ning Chang looked at the weeds on the side of the Qianyu Palace and said, "Is it really meaningful to return to the starting point?"

Zhao Xiang'er said: "I don't know, but no matter what my mother does, she likes to draw a circle, no matter what kind of arrangement, she must be complete before and after to be satisfied, so I always wonder if I am a bead in the circle of my mother." ”

Ning Chang said: "If she just uses you, will you still respect her?"

"Yes. Zhao Xiang'er said.

Ning Changjiu asked again: "What if she wants to kill you?"

"Then I'll have to draw my sword against her. Zhao Xiang'er smiled faintly. She respects her mother, but she is by no means a foolish and loyal person who drank poisonous wine and hung white silk on the beams of the house in history.

Ning Chang looked at the fiery maple leaves in the ruins of the Qianyu Palace. He couldn't help but think of the Sinner, who he had forgotten all about his true face, but he still remembered what the Sinner looked like when he drew the circleβ€”a truly impeccable circle of perfection that is hard to forget at a glance.

Could it be that she is really the daughter of Suzaku? Could that lady be the lord of the Kingdom of God? If this is the case, how can this small Zhao Kingdom be able to accommodate the plot that touches the Kingdom of God?

Ning Chang couldn't help but think of Shizun, and lost his mind for a short time.

It's a terrible loss of mind.

The moment he came back to his senses, where else were there any streets around the palace cornices, as far as his eyes could see, there were burning flames and giant birds flying in the flames, and in front of him was a temple of raging fire and devilish dance, Zhao Xiang'er stood in front of the temple, and her white dress was illuminated by the flames like fire.

"I'll eat later, and I'll take Ning Gongzi to see the world first. She looked at Ning Changjiu condescendingly, smiled and stretched out her hand.

"This is the real authority of the 'world'. Welcome to the country of my creation. ”

This is also the place where she created the decisive battle.

At the sound of the words, the world cheered. Every ray of flames, every sparrow, every crackling building...... In this world carved of red crystal, the flames soared into the sky, and everything was like a devouring sword, and they pointed at Ning Changjiu one by one, this scene was like the collapse of a towering mountain, and he happened to stand in a deep valley surrounded by a high mountain.

There is no escape from the enemy in the world.
