Chapter 136: Distant Tianqiong
The long street, which was pitch black, suddenly erupted with a dazzling light, and tongues of fire swallowed in the light, like demonic flying tentacles.
The gangsters set the Taishou Mansion on fire.
The previous Taishou of Pingyang City, most of them were wine bags and rice bags for vegetarian meals, and the money for repairing the government was basically filled by them, so the seemingly brilliant and hard Taishou Mansion was actually made of inferior wood inside the walls, and once it was lit, it would burn, even if a rainstorm came, it could not extinguish the fire, not to mention that now even half of the rain could not be seen.
There are two siege vehicles parked in front of the main gate of the Taishou Mansion, and the carriages with weapons are lined up next to them, and the jade pendants and weapons in the carriages have all been emptied, and the gangsters hiding behind the gate hold the jade pendants in their hands, and the steel knives reflect the firelight, illuminating the front of the light. The fleeing prostitutes stood tremblingly in front of the carriage, leaning against the wall, blocking the gaps. The gangsters used the women's bodies as shields, and if anyone wanted to break through the flanks, they had to step over the women's bodies.
In the middle of the siege engine, a man sat cross-legged on it, dressed in an open coarse linen robe, with muscles knotted like rocks, and a sturdy man who did not look like a human.
Everyone in the gang looked in one direction, it was the official road in front of the Taishou Mansion, and it only took more than an hour to ride a horse to reach Caiyi City next door.
In the darkness there was the sound of horses' hooves, and a high-pitched neighing of horses resounded through the night sky, and the two of them stopped more than twenty feet in front of them.
The man on the roof of the siege engine whistled, and the gangsters below began to laugh.
A few people did not drive into the place where the aftermath of the explosion could be bombarded, those jade pendants engraved with the word "Li" were enough to blow up a hut after the explosion, but even if the gangsters had amazing arm strength, they could not throw those light jade pendants nearly thirty zhang away.
Luo Tian turned over and dismounted, slashed downward with a giant axe, and directly overturned the nearest carriage to him, raised his head slightly, and looked at the man on the roof of the siege vehicle.
The muscles in this man's body already indicate his identity, and the strong and bullish pervert is the leader of the group, or rather the leader of the gang.
"I should have chopped his head with an axe!" Luo Tian whispered.
The sturdy man got up slowly, eight feet tall, like a big flag on a chariot, this person was bent over when he was locked by Luo Tian, so he didn't have any intuitive feelings, and when he straightened up, Luo Tiancai found that this person was even more than a head and a half taller than him.
The man rubbed his hands together and said slowly in a voice as low as a lion's roar: "Thank you for sending my horse and jade plate back." β
"You'll thank me even more when I bury you in a coffin filled with bathwater. Luo Tian's voice was as cold as a knife.
"Situ Xuan", who was covered by a black robe, also turned over and dismounted, and walked to Luo Tian's side, "Miss Qiu is still in their hands, don't provoke him." β
Qiu Qiong stood on the roof of the Taishou Mansion, with the flames rushing to the sky below, the wind lifted the hem of the pale green skirt, and her hands and upper body were tied with an arm's thick hemp rope, and she couldn't break free at all. The flames were approaching her, the first floor of the Taishou Mansion was about to burn out, the second floor was about to be completely consumed, and those flames were burning and flowing, and it was only a matter of time before the last floor was covered.
The roof of the Taishou Mansion was tilted by fifty or sixty degrees, she was like a witch standing on the stake, her tears were dried as soon as she came out of her eyes, if it weren't for the fact that the foundation of Qiu Qiong's Lingxuan Realm was still there, I am afraid that she would have been burned out by now.
"I know what to do. Luo Tian was expressionless and said in a low voice.
"Although the bath water is delicious, I have prepared something more delicious than it, so I don't bother the child. The burly man took out a belly pocket from his sleeve as if he was playing a trick, kneaded it into a ball and sniffed it vigorously on the tip of his nose, "Miss Qiu's taste, but it's much more delicious than bath water......
Luo Tian's forehead bulged with a green tendon, and the Haotian axe in his hand trembled and hissed uncontrollably because of the anger of his master. He wasn't sure if Qiu Qiong was really tainted by the gang or if the guy was just trying to provoke himself, but the perverted ploy had succeeded anyway.
Luo Tian couldn't control his anger very rarely, his murderous intent beat slowly, these people had already touched his bottom line. He turned his head slightly and swept over the formation of the gangsters, if the head-to-head confrontation was indeed extremely difficult to break through, the dresses on the bodies of those prostitutes and girls were torn to pieces, and their white bodies were even more dazzling in the firelight, the gangsters were using this way to warn Luo Tian that if you want to do it, the price will be the lives of these women.
Luo Tian took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the monstrous anger: "Whose dog are you?"
"Dogs, our Qinglong Gang is a living real dragon, how can a real dragon be a dog?" the burly man had a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth.
"No matter how much that person gives, I'll give you three times. Luo Tian said slowly, "No, five times! I guarantee that you will be safe and sound after you get the money." β
"Hahahaha! Fortunately, I know the style of Meng Changfeng, the chief of the purple belt of the Inner Gate of the Wu'en Gate, otherwise I might not be able to resist it!" the burly man laughed, "I can get that Xuanjing alive, but after you retreat safely, there will be a flying sword to stab this place into a sieve immediately, isn't it?"
The burly man pointed to his head.
"Situ Xuan" was silent, indeed as he said, according to Meng Changfeng's style, it would never be possible for him to live to spend this money.
"What are your conditions, tell me. Luo Tian let out a breath and could only make a compromise.
"That axe in your hand looks good. Cut off the hands and feet of the guy next to you, and then cut off one of your own hands. I know that your strength is very strong, if you really start a fire and want to kill the hundred people of my Qinglong Gang, it will be half an hour, if you have hands and feet, I don't have the courage to approach you......" The burly man said slowly, "Don't worry, my purpose is not to take your life, but to bring you back to that adult to dispose of." β
"You really take off your pants and fart, if you don't want our lives, you can still burn the entire Taishou Mansion?" Luo Tian's face remained unchanged, "Who knows if you will send us directly to heaven with those jade pendants after we surrender." β
"Don't worry, I don't have any other qualities, but righteousness and honesty are essential things in our industry. The burly man crossed his hands around his chest and smiled.
"A pervert who secretly drinks other people's bathwater, how can I trust what he says. β
I just like these liquids that have a woman's body odor, and the woman's bath water will give me a pleasure that I don't even drink. Of course, if it's a beautiful woman's belly pocket, it's even more wonderful......" The burly man put the rose-red belly pocket under his nose and sniffed hard, not caring about his image in front of his subordinates.
Luo Tian's brows were tightly locked, this man was much more terrifying than he imagined. He is a dirty pervert in the matter of infatuating with women, but as a gang leader he is extremely fierce and cunning, this burly man deliberately pretended to be stunned when he was held hostage by himself, because he knew that he could not be the opponent of Luo Tian and Situ Yu, so he rolled his eyes and foamed at the mouth to make them relax their vigilance.
"Believe me or not, it's up to you. The burly man grabbed the belly pocket in the palm of his hand, and then put his hands behind his back, "If you really can't bear your woman dying in front of you, then I want to say to you that the man admires!
"Yes!"
The gangsters below laughed.
"Luo Tian......" The black-robed man stepped forward slowly, and his voice was a little strange.
"Don't move, we have to buy time for Senior Brother. Luo Tianmu didn't squint.
......
......
Situ Xuan rushed up behind the wall of the Taishou Mansion, running rapidly along the wreckage of the ruins, flames in all directions, the stairs were also being destroyed, and the houses above him were collapsing at an extremely rapid speed, so Situ Xuan had to go to find those places where the fire was smaller, and gradually moved up along the wreckage.
Luo Tian, of course, they are not stupid enough to pin all their hopes on negotiations with gangsters, what is there to talk about with a group of gangsters whose IQ is not as high as that of sows?
Before they returned to the Taishou Mansion, they met Chu Zhong, Meng Changfeng was still a little uneasy, and asked him to come to assist Situ Xuan to investigate the truth and truth, and several people summed up for a while, and put Situ Zheng down before arriving at the Taishou Mansion, and now the one wearing a black robe is actually Chu Zhong who came in a hurry, the two are close in stature, and those gangsters can't find it at such a distance.
Situ Xuan made a long detour, felt through the unguarded back door wall into the Taishou Mansion, and looked around for a passage to the roof. He had already soaked his clothes before he came, so he didn't have to worry about high body temperature. Although his physical strength has not yet recovered to its peak, with the remaining foundation, he should be able to escape from the Taishou Mansion full of smoke and flames with Qiu Qiong, and Luo Tian and Chu Zhong are trying to buy him time as much as possible. Situ Xuan had already reached the third floor of the Taishou Mansion, and there was only a layer of green tile roof between Qiu Qiong and him.
"You burned down the entire Taishou Mansion, aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the imperial court afterwards?" Luo Tian hung the Haotian axe in his hand and said coldly.
"Hahahaha!Imperial court?You don't know how great the energy of that adult is, let alone the county guard, even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes, it is impossible to stop what the adult wants to do!" The burly man laughed loudly.
"It seems that you are not only a pervert, but also a madman. β
"This son, you are so calm, you can still talk to me calmly for so long at this time, do you want to watch your woman burn alive in front of you?" the burly man sneered.
This guy didn't expect that he had fallen into Luo Tian's trap, he accompanied Luo Tiandong to talk about it, and half an hour had passed, and Situ Yu was already very close to Qiu Qiong's position. This big man also inadvertently revealed some identity information of that person, he is a high-ranking big man, and he can even influence the decision of the Canglan Emperor, he knows the situation in Leiyang County very well, and he is extremely familiar with Pingyang City, it is very likely that he is a high-level of the evil puppet sect or the Wuen Sect. Even in such a situation, Luo Tian still kept his calm thinking, his control of people's hearts and emotions can be called a demon, how can a gangster boss who has been overturned still have the brain to think about Luo Tian's ulterior motives.
Situ Jian finally found the skylight leading to the roof, fortunately, this mansion is high enough, such a short time is not enough for the flames to spread to the top, he opened a gap in the skylight, and saw the pale green dress that kept swaying with the fire and wind, Qiu Qiong was not far from him, about two zhang away, so close Situ Jian only needed two breaths to reach Qiu Qiong's position, but he couldn't have too much movement, the roof had been tilted down very much, and it was easy to rush directly into the fire if the speed was too fast.
"What's the matter with the people around you, dumb?" the burly man asked coldly.
Luo Tian's heart was shocked, this man seemed to have sensed something, his expression on his face remained unchanged, and he replied in the same cold voice: "My senior brother holds his own identity and disdains to have any conversation with people like you. β
"Hey, I'm going to be sad to say that, doesn't that boy just like that to see us gangsters?" said the burly man, but there was no sadness on his face.
Situ Yan slowly opened the skylight, climbed out carefully, and as soon as he stepped on the roof, the layer of green tiles was staying in an extremely rapid manner, he lost his balance and fell down along the big hole in the roof, and fell straight into the raging fire under him!
The gangsters broke all the beams near the skylight leading to the roof, and they set traps for rescuers to take the bait. Situ Yu was an extremely cautious person, but the situation did not allow him to think for too long, and Qiu Qiong couldn't hold on for too long, which made him have a fatal mistake.
He had no focus point to step on, and he couldn't even find a complete piece of wood as far as his eyes could see, and he fell to the ground with a "plop", and Situ rolled on the ground, but to no avail. He no longer had the strength to climb onto the roof, the smoke and fire engulfed him, and the wind laughed wildly in the fire.
The wind fueled the fire, and the flames under the Taishou Mansion suddenly surged with lightning speed! The burly man put his hands around his chest and raised his head and laughed wildly: "Hahahahaha! Two fools! I have already seen through your little tricks! That guy should have become a handful of ashes in the ruins by now! Hahahaha!"
"Up!" Luo Tianyi raised the Haotian axe and said to Chu Zhong behind him: "Don't keep your hands!"
Luo Tian had no choice, Qiu Qiong was crumbling in the smoke and fire, she was about to hold on, and Situ Yu, who went to save her, fell into the sea of fire, and her life and death were uncertain. In this case, they can only give it a go, and do whatever it takes!
The Xuanli on the Haotian Axe suddenly surged out, and the red-golden Xuanli was like a great sun outside the sea of fire, exuding endless power and firelight, and even the official road paved with bluestone was cracked into a spider web-like crack under the vigorous stepping on the ground, and Luo Tian rushed straight into the formation of the gangsters with the Haotian Axe.
The long sword in Chu Zhong's hand was sonorously unsheathed, this time he did not use the golden giant sword weighing a thousand catties, but a slender soft and slender sword, Luo Tianzheng rushed forward quickly with a Xuan Li talisman, and the gangsters clenched the jade pendants in their hands, and at the moment when one person and one axe entered the explosion range, about seventy jade pendants would be thrown at the same time, and they exploded around him...... But that was without Chuzhong. The sword qi on his body is agitated like wind and thunder, and the momentum even overpowers the sea of fire and Luo Tian's light shines, his sword path is so fierce and direct, so only the heavy sword can perfectly match his sword qi roaring, but even if Chu Zhong is now using a long sword, the ferocity of the sword qi does not decrease but rises, and when the sword qi is agitated, he accurately cut off the arms of those gangsters, and one arm is broken in the scream, he has no mercy at all, this group of guys has begun to provoke the majesty of the Graceless Gate, and naturally there is no need for his subordinates to show mercyγ
Luo Tian blocked in front of him with the Haotian Axe, and then a crimson giant elephant appeared out of thin air, directly splitting the gate of the Taishou Mansion entirely! He rushed out of the wood slag and ruins, and an ancient mark appeared in the center of his eyebrows.
Great Wilderness Bloodline!
"Jump down!" he yelled at Qiu Qiong on the roof of the Taishou Mansion, "I'll catch you!"
He was illuminated by the monstrous sea of fire in front of him, his black hair danced in the wind, the jade pendant was thrown behind him, and with the blood of the Great Wilderness opened with all his strength, he ate these bombardments alive and did not move, he was like the hero who was destined to step on the seven-colored auspicious clouds to save you, demons and evil must be shattered in front of him, and nothing in the world can stop him from saving you.
Looking at the shining man under the sea of fire, Qiu Qiong was suddenly not scared at all, she showed a smile, her knees bent slightly and jumped forward, allowing her body to fall down with the ruins and the wind.
Luo Tian's knees bent sharply, and with the help of the aftermath of the explosion behind him, he jumped higher and jumped in the air. After the Great Wilderness bloodline was opened, his reaction became more acute, and in his eyes, the speed of the fire became slower, the roar of the gangsters became broken, and the explosion was deafening, but it gradually became silent.
A girl in a pale green dress fell from the sky, and the wind blew her long hem. The speed of descent is exactly the same as Luo Tian's estimate, this angle and height are just enough for him to catch Qiu Qiong, although the height of Taishou Mansion is not high, only about fifteen zhang, but the impact of the fall is so great that ordinary people reach out to catch it I am afraid that their forearms will be broken on the spot, but Luo Tian, who has been strengthened by the bloodline of the Great Wilderness, is naturally not among them. The aftermath of the jade pendant's explosion seemed to cut space and time into pieces, but Chu Zhong's fierce shot shocked those gangsters, their hands were shaking, and no one knew if their bodies would be split in half by the sword qi in the next moment, and the strength of the throwing was naturally much weaker.
But at this moment, Luo Tian suddenly heard a sharp sound of breaking the air.
This is a long knife, slashing at his neck at an extremely sharp angle, and for a moment it seems to be like a man's back, Luo Tian subconsciously turned sideways, and the long knife flew past his neck and fell into the sea of fire.
But Luo Tian suddenly realized that he had made a fatal mistake! He came back to his senses in an instant, and stretched out his hand desperately, the pale green tulle dress brushed against his fingers, and the rustling feel was like a girl's delicate shame.
Qiu Qiong, who was tied up by five flowers, slapped heavily on the ground of Taishou Mansion, and the dust flew out, with bright red blood in the dust.
The next moment, the aftermath of the explosion arrived from behind her, hitting the girl in the pale green dress head-on, and a large wave of flames and sound knocked her body into the burning ruins of the Taishou Mansion.
Luo Tian fell before the wreckage, and he ran wildly to block the flames of the explosion, but to no avail, Qiu Qiong slammed into the burning wall, and blood splattered out.
"No!! no!!" Luo Tian roared, letting out the scream that didn't belong to him, between fear and despair.
The burly man tore his shirt open, revealing his upper body with knotted muscles, and shouted loudly at the sea of fire in front of him: "Qinglong Qinglong!
The aftermath of the explosion finally dissipated, and Luo Tian sat in the ruins of the sea of fire, unable to hear anything, as if his soul had left his body.
Loneliness, helplessness, despair, as if turned into a giant mouth, swallowing Luo Tian whole, he sat in the middle of the dark world, only one feeling remained.
This world is so cold......
......
......
He dug Qiu Qiong out of the ruins, like a miracle from heaven, Qiu Qiong's eyes were still open, and her heart was still beating...... Even though the bones of her whole body were broken, the broken ribs were inserted into her internal organs, and blood was pouring from those wounds.
Luo Tian...... Thank you...... Come back...... Save me......" Qiu Qiong said this sentence with difficulty, and almost every word she said was about to spit out a mouthful of blood, "That...... That belly pocket...... No...... Not mine...... I didn't...... He touched ......"
"I know, I know...... Don't speak, I will save you, I will definitely save you back!" Luo Tian's voice was trembling, and he hugged her head tightly in his arms.
If there is really someone in this world who can save Qiu Qiong, he is willing to give him everything even if he is asked. But he knew that it was impossible, even the Jiupin Dan Master, who was well-known in the mainland, could only treat and not bring the dead back to life, death was a natural rule, and no one could pull people out of death.
Did he really love her? He didn't know, she was just a passer-by in his life, she gave him some help and warmth, he solved her family's crisis, settled the grievances, and put an end to it. In the future, she may go to Cangyue Academy to find his younger brother, and then Xiu Xuan marries a wife, but Luo Tian still has to carry the weight forward, and defeat the opponent who is almost impossible to defeat for the sake of Sister Yun.
Luo Tian doesn't know Qiu Qiong, Qiu Qiong doesn't know Luo Tian, she doesn't know what Luo Tian is really carrying, those longings and fantasies are just her wishful thinking, just like the rainbow and sunset on the horizon, the beauty that can't be touched will not remain, the only result is to gradually return to darkness and nothingness. She wasn't even a more important passer-by in Luo Tian's life, Pingyang City was just a small spot on his way, maybe he would be forgotten by him in two days, his goal was too high, too vast, so that he couldn't notice what the scenery under his feet looked like. When he and Qiu Qiong met for the first time, they were still full of the smell of gunpowder, and the two couldn't even say two words along the way, which was embarrassing and ridiculous.
But she's dead...... For the stupid love, for the dream in her heart that was so wonderful that she didn't want to wake up...... It's dead...... She could only secretly kiss this man while people were not paying attention, and she didn't even get a genuine hug......
She shouldn't have been involved in this turmoil, she was just an ordinary girl, and if she wanted to catch up with Luo Tian's footsteps, she had to run as hard as she could, and she couldn't stop, even until she died......
Because you are so humble, you have to pay a thousand times more than others to be happy...... and even life.
It hurts...... How could it be so painful, his brain seemed to be scalded up and down with a soldering iron, and his lungs were like knives were scratching on them...... Luo Tian hugged Qiu Qiong tightly with one hand and his neck tightly with the other, as if something was about to pour out.
His strength has improved so much, but why is he still so powerless, so humble, and so angry......
He seems to have become the ant in the Broken Mountain Sect who is no more than a Lingxuan Realm, and he can only watch everything he loves gradually disappear...... Far away...... Then disappear in the shatter...... Until that unwillingness and anger befell him again......
"My little genius is really a kind and gentle person...... But this kind of person is the most difficult to survive, because this world is neither kind nor gentle......" Sister Yun snuggled up to him and sat under the star dome counting the stars, her voice was like a warm spring breeze.
Yes, this world is not kind or gentle, it is so cruel that it doesn't pay attention to your anger and thoughts.
Tick, tick.
A drop of cold smashed on Luo Tian's face, and he raised his head blankly, his eyes were a dead ash.
"Please...... Don't let it rain so well for the situation......"
