19. The imperial capital is bloody
In the middle of the night, the Imperial Capital City was as quiet as a sleeping giant, and the night silently swallowed everything around it, except for a light near the central Imperial City, the rest of the place was already plunged into darkness.
In the deserted streets, three guards hurriedly walked with lanterns, as if they were fleeing from the darkness, and did not want to stay for a moment.
A cold wind blew, and one of the guards shivered.
There have been hundreds of missing men during this time, and the damned murderer has not been caught yet, and our brother can't sleep for most of the night. β
The city guard scolded in a low voice, and the leading city guard did not raise his head and said, "Say a few words, hurry up and go back to change the guard." β
"Brother Xue! there seems to be someone there!"
One of the guards said suddenly, pointing straight to an alleyway in front of him with a lantern in hand.
The other two guards looked in the direction he was pointing, and faintly saw a dark shadow not far away slowly moving forward.
"Who is it?" the leading city guard shouted, his right hand clenching the hilt of the sword at his waist.
The dark shadow paused at the shout, twisted its neck stiffly to glance at the three city guards, and then stood there motionless.
"Let's go, let's see!"
Seeing this, the three guards quickly drew their sabers and leaned nervously towards the man, and when they came to him, the three of them gradually saw the man's appearance clearly, and at this moment his hands were hanging weakly, and his eyes were hazy.
The leading guard couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he looked at the man in front of him and asked, "Who are you, why are you wandering here late at night?"
The man didn't react as if he hadn't heard, just stood there, and the city guard was about to get angry when he saw this, when he heard a hissing sound from the side, which made the three of them creep for a moment.
They turned their heads to look in the direction where the voice had come from, and a monster with a human body slowly walked out of the darkness, its scarlet eyes as cold as two blood lamps, and the monster hissed and spitted letters, exuding a biting chill around it.
The three guards looked at the terrifying monster in front of them with their mouths wide open, they wanted to scream, but they couldn't shout, and their bodies seemed to be frozen and uncontrollable when they saw the monster's eyes.
The three guards drooped weakly, and the sabers in their hands fell to the ground together, and their eyes became hazy.
Hissβ
The monster was expressionless, turned and moved on, followed by four walking corpses.
At this moment, Liu Ziqi was staring blankly at a light in the imperial city in the distance, which was the mansion of King Wu's mansion. Shen Yu's gaze wandered around, his heart tumbled for a while, it was very unpleasant, and Mu Xiaoyun also looked at the light and sighed secretly.
"No, there's movement!"
Shen Yu suddenly stared at a dark street and whispered, the bodies of all the demon hunters in the Star Picking Academy have been tempered by the Star Picking Academy, so their physical skills are extremely exquisite, and their various senses are many times more sensitive than ordinary people.
Liu Ziqi and Mu Xiaoyun quickly looked there after hearing the sound, and after the three of them glanced at each other, their bodies disappeared into the night in an instant like three streamers.
Moo β
The monster stopped walking abruptly, and a low tiger roar came out of its throat, and the four living corpses behind it also fell sideways.
Directly in front of him was standing Shen Yu holding a long sword staring coldly at him, next to Liu Ziqi holding a nine-section whip and Mu Xiaoyun manipulating the small jade sword, and a glittering bead was wrapped around their heads, illuminating the place.
When the monster saw this, a strange smile gradually appeared on its scaly face, revealing its sharp teeth, and a trident appeared in its hand.
"It's not right, everyone, be careful!" Shen Yu's heart tightened when he saw it, and he whispered to the three of them.
Before Shen Yu could finish speaking, the monster rushed to stab him with a halberd.
Rumble!
Shen Yu flashed, and the stone chips where the black halberd fell splashed everywhere, stirring up a burst of dust.
Water Cold Sutra!
Liu Ziqi snorted softly, and a five-pointed star array appeared under the monster's feet, emitting a blue light that covered its whole body, and the air in the array was compressed to an extreme density, and at the same time, Mu Xiaoyun's jade sword quickly cut at its head, and the impact sounded clanging.
The monster let out a long roar and thrust the trident into the ground, and with an explosion, the aqua blue array immediately dissipated, and Liu Ziqi Mu Xiaoyun and the weapons of the two were shocked by the aftermath and flew several meters away.
Just between the lightning and flint, Shen Yu's long sword body was covered with charms, slashing towards the monster with flames.
Boom!
The monster did not dodge, stretched out his left hand and grabbed the blade of the sword, Shen Yu was shocked, jumped sideways and dodged the halberd stabbed by the monster, and then stretched out his left hand, and the long sword suddenly disappeared from the monster's hand and appeared in Shen Yu's left hand.
The monster turned around and was about to attack Shen Yu again, but found that dozens of jade swords appeared above his head, and in an instant, they all turned into long swords several feet long and pressed towards it together, and Mu Xiaoyun was laboriously directing these jade swords from a distance.
The blue nine-section whip let out a long roar like a long snake and stabbed at the monster at a rapid speed, and the monster raised its arms and disappeared in place like a ghost, and the nine-section whip was firmly embedded in the ground.
"Are you all right? Shen Yu frowned.
Liu Ziqi withdrew his weapon and covered his left arm: "It's okay, where did it go?"
Mu Xiaoyun gasped and shook his head, there was some horror in the eyes of several people, the big demon was at least on the ground level!
"Be careful!" Shen Yu dragged Liu Ziqi away, and the black trident was stuck in the place where the two of them were standing just now.
"Bastard!" Shen Yu roared angrily, and slashed his sword in the direction where the halberd flew back, but a sword slashed at a pillar, and the monster disappeared in an instant!
Guard!
Shen Yu jumped back in front of Liu Ziqi and Mu Xiaoyun, raised his long sword and his right hand kept changing magic seals, and flames instantly rose around the three of them, but they were wrapped in it but they couldn't feel the slightest heat.
"Look for a chance to leave, we are no match for it. β
The three of them looked around vigilantly with weapons in hand.
"Get out of the way!" Liu Ziqi suddenly screamed and dragged away Shen Yu who was blocking in front of her, but it was still a little late.
Mu Xiaoyun looked at the scene in front of her in a daze, and her black eyes trembled slightly.
In the moment just now, the trident suddenly appeared and stabbed towards Liu Ziqi quickly, Shen Yu blocked in front of her in the blink of an eye, Liu Ziqi was shocked, the halberd was about to be inserted into Shen Yu's chest, and she struggled to pull it towards Shen Yu.
Everything happened in a short moment, Shen Yu reached out and grabbed the blade of the flying trident tightly, but it was still inevitable that the tip of the halberd would pierce into Liu Ziqi's shoulder, and his anger made him forget the sharp pain in his palm.
Liu Ziqi frowned in pain, the blood of her and Shen Yu was flowing on the halberd, the halberd was cold, and Liu Ziqi was cold all over his body after being stabbed, constantly panting.
"Let's go!" Shen Yu's eyes widened with anger, and his eyes were filled with tears and roared.
Mu Xiaoyun nodded hurriedly, and with a finger, the beads on the top of the three people's heads burst violently, and everything around them fell into a dazzling white light.
Waiting for the white light to dissipate, the Jiaoshou Demon put down the arm that blocked his eyes, and stared faintly at a string of bloodstains, which was where Shen Yu and the three of them had just fled, it spit out the letter, and disappeared in place with a leap of knees.
Shen Yuzheng was holding Liu Ziqi and swept towards the outside of the city, and Mu Xiaoyun followed closely behind him.
There was a tiger roar behind him, Shen Yu stopped in a hurry, and the black trident suddenly stuck in front of their eyes, just a fraction away from him, and Mu Xiaoyun, who was frightened, screamed.
"Brute!" Shen Yu was furious, he put down Liu Ziqi and turned to block in front of the two of them and said to Mu Xiaoyun: "Little junior sister, take Ziqi to go first!"
"No, I'm not leaving!"
Mu Xiaoyun's eyes were full of fear, compared to the big demon in front of her, she was even more afraid of losing Shen Yu.
"Let's go! I'll be up soon!"
Shen Yu didn't have time to say more, he roared angrily and rushed forward with his sword, and Mu Xiaoyun behind him was almost crying.
The Jiaoshou Great Demon was extremely powerful and extremely cunning, and it didn't take long for several wounds to appear on Shen Yu's body.
The long sword in Shen Yu's hand was picked up by a halberd and stuck on the ground, and he himself was knocked to the ground by the Jiaoshou Great Demon.
"Brother Shen Yu!
When the three-pronged halberd was about to stab Shen Yu, Mu Xiaoyun let out an exclamation and rushed forward to block in front of Shen Yu.
Burst!
The halberd instantly penetrated Mu Xiaoyun's slender waist, and the blood that was red and bright as ordinary people flowed out, and the Jiaoshou demon was a little stunned for a moment after seeing the blood flowing out of Mu Xiaoyun.
"Little junior sister!"
Shen Yu roared, turned over and swung his sword at the big demon, the anger completely made his eyes red, and in the moment the big demon was stunned, the fiery red sword slashed across its face.
With a terrible scream, the face of the Jiaoshou Demon was bloody, and there was a hot pain in his left eye, it covered its left eye and waved the halberd in its hand angrily, Shen Yu took the opportunity to hug Mu Xiaoyun who was lying in a pool of blood.
At this moment, Shen Yu clearly saw a paper talisman flying above his head in front of him, and a burst of fog appeared around him.
"Come with me!" A voice sounded in his ears, and he saw a figure pick up Liu Ziqi and run into the distance, and Shen Yu immediately hugged Mu Xiaoyun and followed.
When he arrived in a courtyard, the figure stopped, and he leaned Liu Ziqi against the stone pillar and bent over and gasped: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!
Mao Tee?
Shen Yu saw the figure just now, and looked at the Taoist in front of him in surprise.
Mao Santong waved his hand and said: "Don't shout yet, pay attention to the hidden point, just now the poor road just used the blind method to throw three paper runes into your appearance and escaped, when the fog cleared, the monster can be seen at a glance, this place can hide for a while, whether there is anyone to save us depends on the creation." β
Shen Yu didn't have time to think about it, and his face was full of worry, and he pressed the wound on Liu Ziqi's shoulder with his hand for a while, and then anxiously covered the penetrating wound on Mu Xiaoyun's abdomen.
"I'm fine, you help the little junior sister first!"
Liu Ziqi leaned on the stone pillar and said with difficulty.
"Brother Shen Yu, I'm so scared of ......"
At this time, Mu Xiaoyun was already in a semi-comatose state, and she closed her eyes tightly and muttered in her mouth.
Shen Yu was anxious: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, it's okay, you'll all be fine!"
He continued to inject spiritual power into Mu Xiaoyun and Liu Ziqi's bodies, trying to stop the wounds that were still bleeding.
At this time, Mao Santong on the side took out a paper talisman from his sleeve, bit his finger and drew a note on it and wrote the location of this courtyard, and then folded it into a paper crane shape, he sighed at the paper crane, and then recited the words in his mouth:
The crane master must fly to the Star Picking Courtyard, and the children of the Star Picking Courtyard must see the paper cranes of the poor road.
After that, he pointed outside and said: Go!
The paper crane staggered out of the yard as if it had come to life.
