Chapter 645: Flames

On June 29, the year 289 of the founding of the North Courtyard, year after year, the people of the grassland will remember this day.

When the news broke, the residents of Longting, who had always thought that the chaos would stop at the last moment, finally gave up hope, and some of them scattered, some joined the killing and looting crowd, and many more became a feast for chaos.

In the frenzy of identifying and searching for their enemies, the kings lost their cool and accused each other of being responsible for the death of the old Khan, and began a merciless massacre.

The two princes died in assassination, and the tribe of the king and the king became mortal enemies, and the other three princes died in the war, sowing more hatred.

It was also a very hot day, and from early in the morning, it was a feeling of suffocation and anxiety, and even when there was no war, many people would ride horses into the wilderness.

The flames quickly jumped on the dry tent, starting from the noble quarter, sweeping from the south to the north, devouring the entire dragon court, even the Khan's palace tent was not spared.

Before noon, the Dragon Court had become a scorched earth, and the fire was still unfinished, and it stretched for dozens of miles into the wilderness before it ended.

The fire left a deep impression on the survivors, and it was natural to associate it with the death of the old Khan, and even inadvertently distorted the order of its occurrence to believe that the old Khan died from a divine fire from the sky.

In the early days of the war, rumors abounded and all sorts of bizarre theories were rampant, and the image of the banshees was quite striking among them, and many people believed that they not only killed the old Khan, but also spread hatred and anger everywhere.

In the end, the banshee failed to fight the divine fire, and the rumor gradually became fixed: the old Khan King was the god of fire in the sky, and when he returned to the original body, he took all the people he liked.

The image of the old Khan became even taller, thus completing the transition from a demigod to a true god, and the people of Beiting preferred this rumor and took it as a fact, and on this day every year, many tribes even burned living people to sacrifice to him.

This rumor was even more lethal than the fire in the Dragon Court, and the five surviving princes were under pressure, and a month later, one of them committed suicide in public to prove that he was also the son of the old Khan.

In one major incident after another, very few people knew or paid attention to the small battles that took place in the [***] camp of Kazushi, and although the female soldiers were inevitably labeled as "banshees", among the few rumors, this special army from a distant and foreign country was engulfed in fire.

If someone occasionally talks about the duel of the top masters, the listener always listens to it with relish, and then laughs disdainfully, "How can people run on fire? You really know how to make up stories, the dragon king is also a human being, if it is the old Khan king, it is still possible, haha, drink less bars, you are already drunk." ”

Old Man Mu spared no effort to publicize this duel, and every time no one believed him, he was very angry, because he saw it with his own eyes.

The surrounding fire is getting stronger and stronger, and it has not yet burned to the camp of the country of incense, the lotus girl challenged the dragon king, and did not do it immediately, but turned to the old man Mu and Shangguan Fei, "Choose." ”

Old man Mu didn't squeak, and poked Shangguan Fei's leg.

"Ah, choose now?" Shangguan Fei said in a panic, "Can't you wait for you to finish fighting?"

One more thought, Shangguan Fei will not say the latter sentence, he is very smart, but when he is nervous, he will be confused, and when he is confused, he will blurt out his true thoughts.

Old Man Mu was much more sleek, pretending to be thoughtful, and resolutely spoke after Shangguan Fei: "Dragon King, I have always been the Dragon King, even when I was forced to throw myself into Xiaoyue Hall, my heart was on the Dragon King's side. ”

"Me too. Shangguan Fei found out the mistake he had made, and hurriedly followed the statement, feeling that it was not enough, and added, "The lotus girl is ruthless and ruthless, and there will be no good end for following her." ”

Shangguan Fei was in a relaxed mood, looked down and saw the surprised eyes of the old man Mu, and immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing again, and it was enough to express his loyalty to the Dragon King, so why offend the Lotus Girl for no reason? In case the Dragon King was defeated, there would not even be room for maneuver.

He didn't have time to correct it, and the dragon king and the lotus girl had already drawn their swords.

A few people came out of the tent, they were originally lying in ambush, waiting for the lotus girl to throw herself into the net, but now there is no need.

Long Chuanyun held a heavy sword, and he finally rushed back in time to bring important reinforcements, living up to the trust of the Dragon King.

The time to wait for Gu Shen is him.

The most important purpose of the dragon crushing cloud to escape from the dragon court on the flaming horse was not to avoid the king of the chase, nor to run back to the Western Regions to remind Prince Dotun to guard against the assassination of Jinpeng Castle, he was going to bring a reinforcement that the dragon king had already arranged.

This support soldier set off almost at the same time as the Dragon King, taking the East Road checkpoint, first rescuing Han Wuxian, and then slowly advancing in the grassland, waiting for the Dragon King's order.

Gu Shenwei wanted to make sure that Han Wuxian was really under his control.

The Lotus Girl said it very casually, but Han Wuxian was related to her life and death in a few years, and no matter what, it was an extremely advantageous weapon, enough to balance the advantage occupied by the Lotus Girl and the hostages she caught.

Gu Shenwei had to be confident in order to calmly draw his sword, and he didn't want to duel with the Dutch girl under the pressure that the hostages might be killed.

The two are equal in martial arts, and the slightest fluctuation of their minds may determine the outcome of the outcome.

The two of them took out their swords at the same time, one stabbed to the heart, the other stabbed to the throat, they learned the same kind of swordsmanship, there were differences from the beginning, the difference is getting bigger and bigger, and now it is like two swordsmanship, just the same fast, the same incredible.

Shangguan Fei rarely had the opportunity to stand aside and watch the Dragon King's sword in a down-to-earth manner, and he didn't see the slightest hint of the doorway, "Did the two of them come out with their swords? Why do I think it's just a shake?"

Although it was just a sword, and then the two of them were circling each other, but the old man Mu was fascinated, "You know a fart, this is the top swordsmanship in the world, they are all looking for loopholes, they don't have loopholes, so they can only shake the sword, do you know how difficult it is to 'shake it'......?

Old Man Mu's gushing was interrupted by the Dutch Maiden's serial sword.

Shangguan Fei's face was gloomy, "It's over, the Dragon King is going to lose, one, two, three, four...... Heck, I've lost count of how many swords she's struck. ”

"Fourteen swords. Old Man Mu's face also stiffened, not scared, but extremely envious.

"Why doesn't the Dragon King come out with a sword?" Long Chuanyun also leaned over and asked, among the crowd, only Old Man Mu could answer this question.

"The dragon king is out of the sword, you don't see it. Old Man Mu's eyes stared at the two people in the duel without blinking, flashing with greed.

He had taught these two people the swordsmanship, and at that time his skills had not diminished at all, and he was able to escape from the sword, and he was sure to kill them by sneak attack, and after more than a year, even if his skills were restored to the same as before, he was not sure.

The Lotus Girl's swordsmanship almost brought out the fierceness and murderous aura to the extreme, each sword seemed to use all its strength, and anyone who replaced it had to take a breath to produce the second sword, but she stabbed out fourteen swords one after another, almost without any interval.

The same swordsmanship, the dragon king took another path, introverted and invisible, the lotus girl stabbed out fourteen swords, and he also returned fourteen swords, but each sword has dissipated before it has been formed, as if the wind is blowing and the clouds are moving, and there are many changes, Shangguan Fei and others only see the "cloud", only the old man Mu sees the "movement".

"How can there be such a big difference?" Old Man Mu's eyes still didn't blink, but cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

The female soldiers guarding the camp couldn't help but look back, and they saw even less, only to see two people jumping constantly, barely touching the ground, like two whirlwinds twisted together.

"Enemy soldiers are coming! a lot of people!" shouted a female soldier.

Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl couldn't stop, and they didn't have time to listen to the shouts of the outside world, they had never paid so much attention to each other, they only had each other in their eyes, and there was nothing left.

For the first time, Han Fen felt sad, as if a child of a few years old found out that her two best friends had gone their separate ways, and she could only follow one of them.

The choice had already been made, she shook her hand into the air suddenly, and a thick black smoke erupted from her sleeve, as high as more than ten zhang, standing in the air for a long time, even if surrounded by countless firelights, it was still clearly visible.

Old Man Mu was the first to react and shouted, "Kill her!"

Long Chuanyun swung his sword and rushed up, several swordsmen followed, Shangguan Fei hesitated a little, and also chased after him, although the old man Mu took steps, his eyes stopped on the dragon king and the lotus girl, he was really reluctant to give up this duel.

Han Fen was like a master of juggling, smoke of various colors was emitted from the cuffs, the corners of his clothes, his mouth, and even out of thin air, and it didn't take long for the pursuers behind him to fall into a fog, coughing continuously, and hurriedly retreating, for fear that it would be poisonous.

The bright smoke formed a circle, and Han Fen disappeared, and the dragon king and the lotus girl were surrounded inside.

"It's the female soldier of the Hundred Flowers Battalion!" the female archer of the Fragrant Accumulation Country relaxed slightly, and then dozens of people cheered in unison, "The head of the sect!

The eyes of the thousands of female soldiers immediately shifted from the smoke and the duelist, and the head of the sect, Guan Ru, was the person they cared about the most.

Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl couldn't listen to it, and the word "sect head" made them startled at the same time, and even the sword momentum slowed down.

The sword technique that has lost its nirvana is no longer the Book of the Dead.

Old Man Mu sighed, and then cheered, "The good girl escaped by herself, and the bad girl is going to be defeated." ”

From outside the camp came the voice that everyone was familiar with, although it was not loud, but it was far away, "Retreat, retreat immediately, the fire is coming!"

The contest between the dragon king and the lotus girl attracted the attention of most people, and when they heard this reminder, they suddenly found that there were flames in all directions, although there was still some distance from the camp, but once it burned over, it would be a catastrophe.

The appearance of Shangguan Ru greatly stabilized the morale of the army, and the female soldiers jumped off the wooden ladder one after another, led the horses in line, and retreated outside the camp without being chaotic.

Old Man Mu shouted to the center of the smoke, "Stop fighting, run for your life." ”

Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl refused to stop, and the sword momentum that slowed down quickly returned to a nidal state, and both of them wanted to end it today.

A group of female soldiers tried to rush into the smoke, but as soon as they approached, they retreated, and the colorful smoke also lit a fierce fire, and the horns crackled, which looked terrifying.

Shangguan Ru looked from afar and saw two small figures jumping on top of the brilliant fireworks, fluctuating, not like fighting to the death, but like dancing elves.

"Dragon King......" Shangguan Ru shouted.

The elves fall into flames.
