Chapter Seventy-Three: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
It was a breeze and a bright moon at night, falling into the sky with stars like shadows, but I couldn't see how hazy the night was, and the light sky was glazed, and it was not night. The town was washed in the moonlight, the swaying bells were heavy and oppressive, and the streets were desolate, leaving only blue bricks and glazed tiles to glow under the moon.
Everyone was hidden in their homes, and the sound of fighting in their ears was endless, and although they were curious, they did not dare to open the window to look. They all know that as soon as the fifteenth moon comes out, the moon charm will be derived, and there is nothing invisible to kill people by moonlight.
At this time, in the corner of Xuanhua Street, three figures fought from the ground to the air, and the speed was so fast that ordinary human eyes could catch it. The swords in the hands of the two corked knights interacted with each other, slashing forward, and the sword shadow disappeared, slashing towards the figure of the moon charm with a powerful sword aura.
This moon charm is bloated and short, but its strength is remarkable, and in the face of the two of them's unsparing combos, it can't see the slightest panic. I saw him grab his claws forward, and he grabbed the sword light in his hand straight, and threw it by mistake, the bluestone slab on the ground shattered, and there was a burst of dust and smoke, revealing a slender gap.
The two knights were already full of solemnity at this time, and although they tried their best, they had no tricks with this moon charm.
On the other side, seeing that the other party was already weak, the moon charm's eyes flashed with a deep red light, and under the gray and dark face, two fangs suddenly cracked, which was eerie and terrifying, very terrifying.
The two knights were stunned, and before they could see their appearance clearly, the moon charm suddenly disappeared, leaving a black aura slightly emitted on the ground.
"Be careful!"
A sharp voice shouted anxiously from the corner of the mouth of one of the knights, neither of them saw how the moon charm disappeared, only to feel as if an ice pick had pierced behind him, making the hairs stand on end and his heart was pounding.
Not far away, the speed of the moon charm was extremely fast, and there were afterimages on the ground, as if it had transformed into countless moon charms. The two of them didn't have time to turn their heads to see the figure of the moon ghost, gritted their teeth, held the sword in both hands, tapped their toes, borrowed the ground as a force, and resisted backwards with all their might.
If the Moon Charm was trying to test their Taoism before, she had already used all her strength at this moment.
It's also a little strange of its own, the two people in front of it are not drunk, why do they pretend to be drunk as before?
Is it to draw it out?
The moon ghost, who had figured it out, roared angrily, and the wind set off between the claws was several times more chilling than the sword in the hands of the two of them, and the moonlight refracted all over the sky, and suddenly a black shadow covered in demonic energy flashed, and then a dull collision sound. Under the unsparing move of the Moon Charm, the swords in the hands of the two fell off, and their hands seemed to have been hit by steel, and the pain that pierced their hearts made them unable to exert their strength for a while.
"Sting!"
A piercing tearing sound sounded, and the shoulders of the two knights were each cut four times by the Moon Charm, and the powerful force flew backwards with their bodies.
The unforgiving Moon Charm dragged her steps and flew into the air, a pair of claws with a sharp cold light continued to enlarge in the eyes of the two who flew out upside down.
Whatever the two men had for their purpose in attracting it to appear, it would use their blood to repay them for their disrespect for it.
Those red eyes, like two dancing flames, emitted an extremely strange light under the moonlit night.
A white-clothed figure suddenly appeared, falling lightly from the sky between the three of them, his handsome facial features were like a calm lake like a mirror, and the peach fan in his hand was raised by him, and an incomparably deep and strong force shot out of the peach fan, blocking all the attacks of the moon charm. The aftermath still hit Siye unstoppably, and a puff of dust blew up on the ground, and the piercing sound of the air being torn could be heard.
Moon Charm was shocked, and the demonic energy in her body boiled in an instant, turning into a barrier to protect its body. But even in this first confrontation, Moon Charm's body still retreated, which shows that it has suffered a loss.
The white-clothed figure robe swayed slightly in the wind, leaving two strands of long hair on his forehead fluttering slightly, scraping his cheeks, not shocked, smiling brighter than the river, his toes touched the ground, the white soles were spotless, and he naturally withdrew his hand.
"Childe!"
The two knights who fell to the ground were full of surprise and shouted excitedly, fortunately their son-in-law arrived in time, and the original urn-like voice also turned into a woman's delicate and beautiful voice at that moment.
They fell to the ground, ignoring the pain of their wounds. Quickly stood up, tore off the beard at the corner of his mouth, and wiped his dark face, revealing two ruddy faces like the morning glow, which turned out to be the two Qi sisters.
And the man in white who fell to the ground was Yang Jingyu.
Their sons have arrived, and their mission has been completed. As for this moon charm dressed in a black robe and covered in demonic energy, it was naturally handed over to Yang Jingyu.
Qilu was the most seriously injured, her arm and right shoulder were already drenched in blood, but she didn't feel a little pain, raised her little finger to point at the receding Moon Phantom figure in front of her, and called out heavily: "Childe, this guy is very strong, you have to be careful!"
"Frost Lu'er, thank you for your hard work!"
Yang Jingyu nodded slightly at them, looked at the moon charm, and said in a deep voice: "If you are not mistaken, you are the man of the boat, right?"
The moon charm retreated a distance of more than ten meters before she stood firmly, and her demonic energy swayed violently on her body. Facing Yang Jingyu's questioning, but seeing that its bloated body shook, the flames in its red eyes flickered, and it regained its previous appearance. It knew very well that it was coming, and almost without any hesitation, it stretched out its arms and raised its right leg slightly, and it rose into the sky and burst out into the night.
It turned out that everything was a trap under Yang Jingyu, and the moon charm, who realized it later, was wrapped in the cloak of the black robe at the moment, letting her body bend down as much as possible to reach the level to speed up her escape.
Yang Jingyu tapped the palm of his left hand with a peach wood fan, and then unfolded his body, like an arrow from the string jumped out, the speed was so fast, but if the thunder crossed the sky, when he said goodbye, he had already flown over the moon charm, and intercepted the moon charm's escape path in mid-air.
Last time, Yang Jingyu was hit by a blow like smoke in Yuehua Palace and was seriously injured. Therefore, when he fought with this moon charm, he did not use even a trace of Taoism. Now that his injuries have healed, this Moon Charm is naturally not his opponent.
"You killed so many people, I can't let you escape!"
Yang Jingyu faintly looked at Yuemei, who was forced to stop by him.
No one could see how he made the move. In an instant, the peach wood fan suddenly became larger in his hand, and the Taoism of his whole body was stimulated by him, like a vast mountain, a gust of wind, hunting the robe and cloak of the moon charm that was about to be impacted, and swaying in the air.
A substantial cold light condensed in the air, like thousands of soldiers opening their mouths and roaring, devouring the figure of the moon charm like death.
Moon Mei naturally wouldn't sit still, under the black robe, although she couldn't see the expression on its face, her tense body already showed her fear of Yang Jingyu.
Almost at the moment when Yang Jingyu used his debut technique, those claws stretched downward, and the demonic qi all over his body suddenly converged from his whole body to his hands.
Yang Jingyu struck with a fan, and Yue Mei also raised her hand to resist, but when she saw that the black and white qi in the air intersected together, a terrifying power erupted between the two, and it exploded. In just one breath, the two of them tore apart from the light waves, collided together, and exchanged hands and claws in mid-air hundreds of times in an instant.
On the ground, Qishuang Qilu had already rushed over, looking up at the struggle of the two, they all felt dazzled, and it was really difficult to see the movements of the two.
The moonlight covered Yang Jingyu's face, covering the surrounding buildings with hazy and beautiful clothes. On the eaves of people's houses, claw marks were constantly scratched, or tiles were knocked off and scattered all over the ground. The battle, which gave rise to numerous gales between them, blew the lanterns under the eaves and swooped down into the cracks of the closed gates......
But seeing a black figure retreating in mid-air, Yang Jingyu took advantage of the situation and clamped the left hand of the moon charm, and when he heard a "hiss", a claw emitting a cold light fell off the ground. Qishuang hurriedly looked at it, and it turned out that it was not the claw of the moon charm, but a sharp four-clawed hand armor hook.
Yang Jingyu is right, this moon charm is pretending to be a person.
"I have no grievances with you in the past days, why do you stop me from doing things like this!"
The moon charm let out an angry roar from her mouth, panting and stopping in mid-air, her body fluttering, as if she was about to fall to the ground in the next moment.
Yang Jingyu was calm and calm, there was no surprise on his face, he had already guessed the identity of the Moon Charm, stood in the air and slowly withdrew his hand, and said lightly: "You pretended to be the identity of the Moon Charm, and killed too many people through the legend of the moonlight, which made people panic and make countless families die." I must kill you and eliminate the harm for the people!"
When Yuemei heard this, her body trembled violently, and she yelled at Yang Jingyu with hatred: "What do you know, they deserve to die, I don't kill them, it's the greatest mercy to them!"
A mask was removed by Moon Mei's outstretched left hand, revealing a big man's face full of beards, yes, he was indeed the man who supported Yang Jingyu last time. But at this time, his red eyes were still shining with a strange red light, his lips showed a strange black, and the bursting meridians were densely covered with the whole face.
"For more than 100 years, if you look at me like this, every time the moon is full, I will become this appearance of no one or ghost, and I dare not see people. Do you know that all this is owed to my family of three by everyone in Gusu Town. They are selfish, and I kill them to take revenge, so why not?...... Childe, people live for a lifetime, and too many bodies can't help themselves...... Since I am in your hands, I want to kill or chop, please do it!"
The hatred on his face finally turned into a touch of unwillingness, and as the moonlight of the night sky slowly fell to the ground, he took off his robe, straightened up his one-meter-seven-eight figure, revealed his originally strong and dark arms, and threw a water bladder-like leather bag on his back to the ground.
These are all tools for him to pretend to be a moon ghost, and as for the countless tiny silver needles, they were all cut to the ground by Qishuang Qilu before this, and the bluestone slabs were laid on the ground, and there was a terrifying cold light in the night.
"Too much of a body to ...... yourself"
Yang Jingyu muttered in a low voice, looking at the terrifying face of the big man, recalling the last conversation between the two on the boat, the handsome face that was free and easy appeared in his head, and he couldn't help but be slightly touched in his heart.
The fan fell to the ground, and he approached the big man, with a look of loss on his bitter face, and sighed: "But you can't kill so many people......"
Sitting on the ground dejectedly, the cheeky man just shook his head and smiled bitterly, all the unwillingness and hatred turned into this extremely gloomy sentence: "Presumably, in your eyes, I am a heinous person." Over the past hundred years, I have indeed killed too many people, collected their blood, and conceived my soon-to-be-demonized wife...... It's funny to say that the real initiator didn't dare to do anything to her. ”
"Oh, is there any main messenger behind this! Although he is weak and weak, he is bent on getting rid of this evil for Gusu Town. Come on, what's going on?"
Yang Jingyu didn't expect that behind the moon charm, there was an even more terrifying existence, he quickly approached the big man, hoping that the big man would tell everything. But the big man stared at Yang Jingyu, then slowly shook his head, and said, "I can't tell you that she is an existence that you dare not provoke." Besides, if I say it, my wife and children will die, and I can't risk telling you so much. Childe, I hope that after you kill me, don't trouble my wife and children again, I promise, there won't be too many people dead in Gusu Town in the future!"
"This ......"
Yang Jingyu hesitated, his raised right foot paused in the air, he looked at the helpless man with a cheek on his face, his face showed a more puzzled look, his heart moved, he suddenly thought of something, and blurted out: "Could it be that the woman sealed under the temple is your wife, and she is the demon sniper?"
As soon as the words fell, the big man was shocked, his eyes opened as big as copper bells, as if he was very frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "No, she is not a devil, she was killed by someone, and she was ...... by the Star and Moon Messenger of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect."
"Poof......
Before the big man could finish his words, a flying needle flew over from the night without warning, right in the temple of the big man, and with a mouthful of blood spurting out, he had fallen to the ground, and his vitality dissipated.
