Chapter 65: Change of Ownership
As soon as the crossbow bolts with flames touched the barrier above the city, those small and inconspicuous flames suddenly grew wildly, forming a wall of fire in the sky and covering the barrier.
Gu Renfeng and the others, who maintained the enchantment, changed their expressions greatly: "It's not good, if it goes on like this, the enchantment will be completely destroyed in the flames." β
Before the words fell, a subtle clicking sound was heard in the sky.
"What kind of fire ........ is this" Remembering the characteristics of these flames that are only aimed at people who use spiritual power, Jinxiu's face also changed slightly.
No one knows the answer, otherwise they would have known it in the city of Yemen.
When the enchantment was broken, Shen Yan and the others below subconsciously converged their spiritual power to dodge the arrows.
Using spiritual power to maintain the enchantment will be burned by the flames, not using spiritual power Shen Yan and the others have enough reflexes to avoid those arrows, but ordinary soldiers can only lose their lives under these black-pressed crossbow arrows.
Murong waved his sword to open the stray arrows flying from the sky, and said with a cold face: "It can't go on like this, we must find a way to shoot down those trap birds." β
"Or, find a way to put out these flames. Shen Yan followed up and said such a sentence.
No matter which of these two methods can solve the current dilemma, but how to solve it is the biggest problem.
Jinxiu thought of the man in the white mask she had met in the city of Yemen. Compared to the method Murong said to deal with these trap birds, he felt that Shen Yan's method might be simpler, provided that he could find the man in the white mask.
But there was no trace of the man among the birds in the sky, and there was also a white snow demon on the ground, and there seemed to be no trace of that person.
However, Jinxiu knew very well that these flames came from the hand of the white-masked man, and that person must be not far from here now.
As long as you can find him......
"General Murongβ"
A sudden shout from behind him regained Jinxiu's attention.
But it turned out that in order to save a few soldiers around him, Murong didn't have time to react to dodge the crossbow arrow, and his left arm was directly pierced, and he retreated several steps back with the huge force of the crossbow arrow, and finally the whole person was nailed to the pillar.
"Don't panic. The corners of Murong's forehead were fine beads of sweat because of the pain, but his expression didn't seem to change much, and even his voice didn't fluctuate.
Murong Qing stepped forward and took out the crossbow arrow with the help of a few soldiers, put medicine on him and wrapped it around the medicine belt, and said with a frown: "General, as a general, you shouldn't be so risky. There seem to be more and more trap birds in the sky, so it's best to retreat to a safe place first. β
Murong was stunned when he heard this: "You want me to be a deserter?"
Murong Qing was stunned, and then said helplessly: "It's not for you to be a deserter." As a general, your safety is very important. If so......"
Without waiting for him to finish, Murong waved his hand: "Rongqing, you don't have to say it again." I lead my troops to fight, so I naturally know how to measure. I wouldn't insist on staying if I were to fight other enemy forces like I did before, but now my soldiers are not ordinary people but demons, and no matter what, I should accompany them to live and die together. β
As they spoke, many more soldiers died on the flying bolts. And at this time, everyone also saw that among the flames that restrained spiritual power, there were also ordinary flames. Most of the soldiers who were lucky enough to dodge the bolts were caught off guard and burned by the ordinary flames.
Murong's eyes were faintly bloody.
Shen Yan only now understood why those snow demons chose to stand still when the Trap Bird attacked.
"We're all trapped in the city now, either we're all wiped out or we're ....... You can only fight for a way out. β
Jinxiu's expression became more and more solemn. He still hadn't found out where the man with the white mask was now, but looking at the current situation, he couldn't afford to waste any more time.
The so-called to fight a way out of life requires someone to sacrifice themselves. Moreover, the person who is sacrificed must also be a practitioner.
Now the skies over Cthulhu are completely overrun by trap birds, and countless snow demons are besieged on all sides of the ground.
As long as someone can endure the pain of the Absolute Spirit Fire and buy time for the others, with the strength of the few cultivators present, they will definitely be able to break the current deadlock in a short period of time.
After listening to Jinxiu's words, Gu Renfeng was the first to ask for his life: "Senior nephew, let me do this." β
Jinxiu paused, and his eyes fell on Gu Renfeng's body: "Uncle Gu, you have to think clearly." You and I have seen how powerful the flame is, it's okay for a short time, but if it takes a long time, your whole body may be burned to ashes. β
"The nephew said no more. Gu Renfeng walked forward a few steps, moved his wrist and made a crackling sound, and said with a laugh: "Besides, if you can get rid of those trap birds in the sky faster, won't I be safe?"
Before Jinxiu could say anything more, Gu Renfeng had already let out a long howl in his mouth, his foot stomped heavily on the ground, and the whole person flew into the air. The light blue barrier is like an upside-down bowl, enveloping all the people on the ground.
The orange-red flames swelled wildly in an instant, chasing towards the place where Gu Renfeng was.
Seeing this, Jinxiu hurriedly said, "Everyone, do it quickly." β
Shen Yan and the others did not hesitate, taking advantage of Gu Renfeng's enchantment to isolate their spiritual power fluctuations, they each sent the strongest blow to the snow demon in the sky without any reservations.
All kinds of spiritual power brilliance flashed between heaven and earth, and countless sword lights also flew in all directions.
The trap birds in the sky fell rapidly in these sword lights, and the snow demons on the ground were also scattered to the ground.
When Jin Yue saw that Gu Renfeng's whole person was surrounded by a sea of fire, he gritted his teeth and flew out of the enchantment, attracting half of the flames on the other side.
This time, no one left the barrier again, and everyone quickened their movements, trying to kill the demon clan under the sword in the shortest possible time.
When the first crack appeared in the barrier above, Jinxiu's heart secretly screamed badly.
Then, everyone noticed that there were more and more cracks in the barrier.
The abnormality of the enchantment showed that the situation of Jinyue and Gu Renfeng in the sea of fire was not good, and Jinxiu and several other senior uncles, who were also from Yunfu Heavenly City, could clearly feel that the vitality of the two of them was passing rapidly.
In just a few moments, the light blue barrier completely collapsed. Gu Renfeng and Jin Yue also disappeared in the flames.
The snow is falling.
Although he successfully solved everyone's trap birds and snow demons, no one could be happy at this time.
Yunfu Tiancheng lost two people, and the Zhenbei army suffered countless casualties, and there was not one in a hundred, if it weren't for the people in the city who had already been evacuated, I was afraid that the casualties would be even more serious.
The sky was starting to get darker.
Murong was busy directing the cleaning up of the battlefield, and Murong Qing was running around to heal the wounded. Grief is a bit redundant at this time, and everyone is busy doing their own thing.
Shen Yan stood on the city wall and observed the situation with a small group of soldiers. Occasionally looking back at the city, I can't help but feel a little panicked.
The war is still coming. This is not a good thing, because once this war begins to expand, countless families on the other side of the continent will inevitably be ruined, and it is rare to find peace.
"Miss Shen. β
Su Qing's voice came from behind her, and her face was much paler than before. Originally, Murong Qing's arrival had already made her body improve a little, but now it seems to be a lot more serious.
Shen Yan hurriedly called the person to the leeward place, and said with a little anxiety in his mouth: "Master Su, your health is not good, why did you come here?" If you have anything to do with me, just call someone to call me......
Su Qing covered her lips and coughed, her voice was more rapid and intense, and she didn't refute it when she heard the words, and said, "I do have something I want to discuss with Miss Shen, but now that there are too many manpower losses in the city, everyone is busy, so I came over by myself." β
Shen Yan heated a glass of water with spiritual power and handed it to Su Qing, and then asked, "I don't know what happened to Master Su looking for me?"
Su Qing barely recovered after taking a sip of hot water, and the frequency of coughing was much less. Although he said that he was looking for something before, he fell silent after listening to Shen Yan's words at this time.
Shen Yan felt a little strange in his heart, and when he was about to ask again, Su Qing coughed and said, "Miss Shen, I don't have much time." β
"What?" Shen Yan was shocked in his heart, and faintly had a bad premonition.
Su Qing then said: "I was born with a stubborn illness, even if it is a ghost doctor, it can only be alleviated but not cured. With my physique, I am not suitable for cultivation, let alone martial arts....... But there is no way, if the master of the ninth floor is not skilled in martial arts, I am afraid that there will be no place in this river and lake for a long time. β
"Su Lou Master ......"
"Miss Shen, let's listen to me first. Su Qing smiled gently, then bowed down and coughed. There was a faint smell of blood in the air.
Shen Yan's sharp eyes saw a little scarlet blood flowing from between her fingers covering her lips, and it fell to the floor.
"I once asked Mr. Cangming for some spells, and in the past, I was only curious about ordinary people as cultivators, but I didn't expect that it would come in handy when I faced the enemy yesterday. β
Su Qing said this, and Shen Yan reacted, those people on the ninth floor yesterday were also ordinary people with the Zhenbei Army, they did more than the Zhenbei Army because of their martial arts, but the casualties were better than the Zhenbei Army. Now it seems that it is because of Su Qing's protection.
"Mr. Cangming originally told me that it was best for me not to use my internal power, but yesterday I used my spiritual power. Miss Shen, my time is running out. Can....... One thing please?"
Shen Yan sat across from her, and the more she listened, the clearer the guess in her heart became. She clenched her hands, held her breath slightly, and said, "Master Su, please speak." β
Su Qing pursed her lips, and then said, "I want to entrust the ninth floor to you, Miss Shen." β
"This, how can this work?!" Although there was already some speculation, but when she really heard Su Qing say such a thing, Shen Yan was still shocked, and her whole person suddenly stood up from her seat, and said again and again: "Master Su, General Murong has sent a message to Heavenly Heaven to ask Her Majesty the Empress to lift the ban on cultivators, doctors in the world can't, there are always people in the cultivation sect who will have a way to save you." It's a critical time, you can't ......."
"Miss Shen, this matter was decided after I thought it through. Su Qing interrupted Shen Yan's words, and then he began to cough again. After coughing, she looked at the blood stains in her palms with a little distraction, and the corners of her lips were also stained with a bit of red, making her face more and more pale. "I should have died a long time ago, and it was thanks to Mr. Cangming's skill that I lived for so many more years. I once heard my husband say that Miss Shen wanted to avenge her parents and brother, but now that you are in the immortal gate, you can't do it yourself. The ninth floor is handed over to you, and you can take revenge with the power of the ninth floor. β
The sound of wind and snow outside the door seemed to be far away, and Shen Yan pursed his lips and didn't know what to say. When she was apprenticed on Guguan Mountain, she already knew that she would never have the opportunity to avenge her family. At that time, although I had regrets, when I thought that I was given up by my father as an outcast, I had a little bit of "Look, if you don't want me, then I don't have to care about what you do".
Now when Su Qing said it, she realized that deep down she still wanted those who killed her parents and brothers to get the retribution she deserved.
Shen Yan is not a person who repays grievances with virtue, and she does not advocate retribution for grievances, she only knows that she repays grievances with virtue and repays grievances with grievances. Therefore, Su Qing's proposal made her very excited.
Seeing that she was silent, Su Qing continued: "If Miss Shen agrees, I will talk to Ling Yan and them later. They are the old men in the building, and they know everything very well. But....... Please also ask Miss Shen to promise me one thing. β
"What's the matter?" Shen Yan had already made clear what she meant when she asked this sentence.
Su Qing smiled a little and said, "I hope Miss Shen can promise me that revenge will be after this war." β
The demon clan is coming, and the human race is really not suitable for other incidents at this time.
The strength of the Tulip Knight is not low, and it is ordered by the imperial court, so it is difficult to say that it will not play a big role at that time.
Shen Yanzi could also think of this, so he nodded: "If they die in this war, I will not be guilty of the past." If not....... I'll do it after the Terran victory. β
"That's fine. Su Qing coughed and nodded, and repeated: "That's fine." β
"Miss Shen, in this way, I thank you very much. β
What Su Qing thanked was that Shen Yan was willing to take over the matter of the ninth floor.
As one of the most prestigious forces in the continent on the other side, as long as Su Qing is willing, I am afraid that no matter who it is, he will agree to take over the ninth floor. But she won't rest assured of anyone else, only Shen Yan knows very well that with the other party's character, she won't use the ninth floor to do anything bad.
"It's getting dark, Master Su Lou should go back and rest early. β
