Twilight Chapter 9: Breaking the Cocoon
"Second Miss......" Steward Mo stood behind Mo Chen, the wrinkles on his face were very deep, and his skin was a little loose, but his eyes were full of concern, "It's not too early, you should rest early." ”
In front of him, Mo Chen sat by the courtyard railing in a daze, leaning against the crimson pillar, holding his knees with his hands, and holding a note in his left hand, with delicate handwriting on it, which was Mo Ting's handwriting.
"Heichen is in trouble, Mo Ting is willing to share her father's worries, is willing to join the army, and helps the army meet the enemy with her modest efforts. In the family affairs, please also ask my sister to do more, looking forward to the triumphant day, don't read it. Sister Moting. ”
"Second Miss, it's not too early, let's go and rest. The butler urged again.
Mo Chen still ignored him and stared blankly at the moon. Suddenly, she smiled wryly and said to the butler, "What's wrong with me?"
Steward Mo looked at the girl, and his heart ached inexplicably.
"Oh yes, has Sister Mo Ming been found?" Mo Chen patted his head, "She's been missing for so many days, where can she go......?"
She didn't know what to say, and for a while she actually became flustered, and even a little incoherent.
Steward Mo looked at Mo Chen's confused appearance and began to worry. "Child......"
Mo Chen stood up, his figure was a little unstable, so he held on to the pillar next to him. In the moonlight, her face looked very haggard.
"Grandpa Mo, thank you, I'll go rest first. She smiled reluctantly at the butler, nodded at him, and walked slowly to the room.
"Have a good rest......" The butler looked at Mo Chen's back, sighed heavily, and prayed silently in his heart, "Everything will be fine." ”
He shook his head and walked away.
The moonlight shone on the courtyard, enveloping the large Tsubaki tree in a white and silver light. The branches on the tsubaki are bare, and the flowers on it are slowly withering, and the ground is full of red frost......
It's late at night.
"Three watches, tonight is peaceful. ”
A groomer walked slowly down the street, and as the echo of the last word disappeared from the street, the whole street returned to calm. A cold wind blew in the street, and the man shivered.
"Hurry up and get it done, it's been a restless few days. The husband wrapped his clothes tightly and quickened his pace as he spoke, heading for another street. "It's also strange, it's summer, why is it so cold?"
After walking for a while, a faint light appeared in front of me.
Curious, the husband walked towards it. The light grew brighter and brighter, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a broken lantern, and the paper on the outside was broken, and the light on the inside shone out.
Where there are no street lights, only lanterns can be hung on the streets.
"What the hell!" the husband suddenly turned from curiosity to disappointment, he cursed, and then moved on.
Suddenly, the husband's neck was cold, and a pressure suddenly hit, as if his hands were tightly pinching him. He was startled and was about to call someone, but found that he couldn't make a sound at all, his throat was stuck so hard that he even had a hard time breathing.
The man hurriedly took a few steps back, but his foot stepped on the stone, and one accidentally fell to the ground, and his hands were temporarily released. He rolled over, scrambled to his feet, and looked in amazement.
The man had white hair, a faint cold air coming out of his body, and he showed his pale hands, and his knuckles were thin, like a dead man. The other party slowly raised his head, and suddenly, the husband's pupils shrank, and he immediately shouted. The white-haired man's body was as stiff as a puppet, but it moved like a tiger, and quickly lunged at him.
"Ah!" accompanied by loud roars, fights, and cries of terror, a fishy smell spread through the street.
The dog that had not yet fallen asleep on the side of the road was barking, and it followed the smell of blood, flicking its tail and standing in the middle of the road, and the black pupils reflected an extremely terrifying picture.
The huge cocoon began to shrink in size, becoming elongated, and then in the shape of a human being, and from the side, the curve had begun to take shape. The white silk began to harden and no longer swing.
The atmosphere gradually became more and more solemn, and the fog further narrowed the encirclement, and there was no sound between heaven and earth. There was a few cracking sounds in her ears, and Mo Ting immediately became alert and looked towards the huge cocoon.
Tiny cracks appeared in the cocoon, as inconspicuous as hair, but slowly, the cracks began to darken in color and spread out like cobwebs. The longer and deeper the crack, the louder the cracking sound, and everyone stared directly at the humanoid white cocoon, subconsciously licking their lips, and their breathing began to be a little uneven.
Suddenly, the cocoon made a swift and piercing sound.
Mo Ting unconsciously took a few steps back.
The rift covered the entire surface in the blink of an eye, but then there was no more movement. A black glow shone through the cracks, and a latent force swelled outward, trying to shake open the hard shell.
One, two, three, four......
With each impact, the hardened white silk fell off like shards, fell to the ground, and was then blown away by the wind.
The dark light became more powerful, and the power continued to increase, and on the fifth stroke, the shell was directly shattered, and in the cocoon that burst open, a powerful force surged, and huge ripples spread around, and the violent sense of oppression was suffocating.
"It's getting a little harder to breathe. Mo Ting began to gasp for air, and Zhuliang Shangguan Hua on the side also had a serious face.
Black ripples wander away, and a woman walks out of it. She was suspended in the air, and at that moment, thin snowflakes floated in the moonlight, and the sky and the earth immediately became cold.
In the fog and dim light, the woman's beautiful body loomed.
Everyone looked at her face and couldn't help but be stunned.
Under the hazy moonlight, the woman's silver-white hair fluttered gently, willow leaves and white eyebrows, delicate eyes, and gray pupils. Her eyes were very cold, like a blade that could pierce everyone's bodies.
But unfortunately, her face was very beautiful, but her complexion was fair, not a little ruddy, but on the contrary, she was like a dead man.
Elder Shangguan exhaled, and the gas instantly liquefied.
"Ink ...... Ink...... Mo Ting looked at her, and then at the girl who fell to the ground, and a wave of fear immediately came out of her heart.
Mo Hao opened his eyes, was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It turns out that everything is in the plan, you are hiding deep enough!"
"What are you talking about?" asked Zhu Liang.
"Let me tell you!" Mo Hao said, "Five years ago, we helped Zichen solve the crisis without losing a single soldier, and during this time, I also saved a little girl, but soon after, we were ambushed......"
Mo Hao stared at the woman and continued: "That day, the same fog, the same white silk, Elder Zhu sacrificed in order to cover everyone's retreat, and Mo Feng Lei Ling them...... I also died in front of my eyes......"
"At that time, you should have listened to Zhu Tianqing's words and killed Mo Ming, and there would be no follow-up. On the side, a young man slowly walked out with a fire bow in his hand, "Elder Mo Hao, do you remember me?"
"Remember, remember, Ouyang Shao!" Seeing the other party, Mo Hao did not become so nervous, but relaxed, as if he had seen an old friend who had been reunited for a long time, and he was relieved.
"Do you regret it, Mo Hao?" a female voice appeared, and several clouds of magic light swam, and Higashino Xi walked out. The heels landed with a crisp sound, and a few wisps of air swirled around her fingers. She crossed her right hand on her hip and smiled contemptuously.
Mo Hao looked at the evil face and sneered. "It's been five years, and you still remember me?"
"Of course, remember, how can I forget that there are fish that have slipped through the net, they are dead, but you are still alive. ”
"After five years of doing such a game, what is your purpose!" Mo Hao asked them sharply.
This time, Higashino Yu didn't speak, and set her eyes on the woman in the middle.
"You guys, I'll kill you!" Zhu Liang didn't wait for them to answer, and rushed over with a knife in his hand.
"Zhu Liang!" Elder Shangguan couldn't pull him.
The corners of Ouyang Shao's mouth raised, his left hand was raised, and his right hand pulled the bowstring, and then, several arrows with sparks were materialized on the bow, and as soon as his fingers were loosened, the red arrows brought a wave of heat, shooting directly at Zhuliang.
Zhu Liang's sword light surged, and he brandished his weapon, directly slashing those flying arrows. He leapt to his feet and pointed his knife at the woman in the middle.
The woman didn't feel afraid, she took a few steps forward, the soles of her feet rippled black in the air, her left hand was slightly raised, and her index finger was pointed at Zhu Liang. A gray light emanated from his fingers, and when the light flashed, it immediately became dazzling.
At this moment, Zhu Liang's body shook and stopped in mid-air, his eyes widened and he tried to struggle.
The woman's index finger flicked slightly, and Zhu Liang was directly bounced away and fell heavily to the ground.
"Back then, your father, like you, rebelled like crazy, but unfortunately, everything was in vain. Higashino Xi smiled, and her purple pupils lit up.
"Shut up...... Zhu Liang struggled to get up, panting to interrupt her, he glanced at Zhu Tianqing who was not far away, his face was cold, his eyes were blank, like an empty shell, a stranger. He gritted his teeth, trying to hold back the tears in his eyes.
"In order to preserve Heichen's strength, he fought many people by himself, and the result was ......"
"Shut up......" Zhu Liang lowered his head and said again.
Higashino Xi sneered, "In the end, he ...... too"
"Shut up!" Before Higashino finished speaking, Zhu Liang roared angrily, his eyes were red, and his whole body strength gushed out. One of his swift movements instantly came to the woman.
Higashino Xi looked at the amazing explosive power, and was not surprised, and the corners of his mouth rose arrogantly. When the knife slashed at her, a figure appeared and blocked in front of Higashino Yu.
All I heard was a muffled thud, and the knife slashed deep into someone's shoulder.
At that moment, Zhu Liang was shocked, the person who suffered this attack was his father.
However, Zhu Tianqing's expression remained cold all the time, and he looked painless or itchy, allowing the white blood to flow down his body.
"Father...... Father ......" Zhu Liang slowly spit out a few words.
Suddenly, Zhu Tianqing's face turned cold, and he pushed him away with a palm.
Hit by this palm, Zhu Liang took a few steps back before stopping, his chest was tight, he spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and his body trembled slightly. The sweat on his forehead was low, and his hair was wet.
"You...... Why ......" Higashino Yu looked at Takeliang and asked playfully.
"You killed my father and killed many of Heichen's brothers, I won't spare you!" Zhu Liang replied.
"Hmph, so what?" Ouyang Shao took a few steps forward, "In fact, the one who killed your father, as well as your so-called brothers, was Mo Hao!" He shifted his gaze to Mo Hao, "He is the one responsible for this tragedy!"
"You!" Zhu Liang wanted to refute again, but his chest hurt so much that he couldn't say any more.
Mo Hao looked at Zhu Liang's back and said, "I'm sorry, I ...... about your father."
"It's okay, Uncle Mo. He replied, "The battlefield is merciless, you are also a victim, it's just ......" He turned his head to look at Zhu Tianqing and them, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't fight anymore, the outcome is decided, just take it!"
"Mo Leiling, don't fake it here!" Zhu Liang scolded, "Be decisive, I'll take the head!"
"It seems that they will not accept your kindness. Mo Feng on the side sneered, "I told you a long time ago, there is no need for inferior races to be soft!"
"Who do you say is inferior?" Elder Shangguan walked out, his eyes were very determined, and he looked at Mo Feng coldly.
Shangguan Hua held the knife in both hands, closed his eyes, and continued to accumulate strength. The moment the eyes opened, the golden light floated. With a teleportation, he appeared in front of Mo Feng.
When Mo Feng reacted, there was something strange on the left side of his body. He looked there, and at some point, his left arm had been severed. He stared at the hand that had fallen off, his face shocked, and when he looked at Shangguan Hua again, he only had a punch slamming into his face.
Ink Wind was knocked back a few steps. When he stopped, he rubbed his cheeks and said, "It hurts, it seems that I underestimated you." He looked at the other party, Shangguan Hua knife stuck on the ground, dressed roughly, sweat oozing from his forehead.
"Don't you have the strength anymore?" Mo Feng stood up straight, "I fought so hard, and I just broke one of my arms?" If I were like you, maybe it would be me who lost, but it's a pity......"
The corners of Mo Feng's mouth raised, the power around him fluctuated, and the severed hand immediately flew over, and it was connected to the shoulder, intact as before.
"What? ...... you" Shangguan Hua was furious and coughed a few times.
Mo Feng turned his gaze to Mo Hao, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, he jumped up, kicked Shangguan Hua away, and condensed the qi blade in his hand, attacking Mo Hao. "Old fellow, give you a ride!"
"Die!" the huge wind blade took off.
With a loud bang, a puff of smoke slowly rose. Through the smoke, red blood flowed down drop by drop.
Mo Ting stood in front of Mo Hao, stretched out her arms, and stubbornly blocked the attack.
"What?" Mo Feng frowned, displeased.
Mo Ting's eyes darkened, and she fell into Mo Hao's arms, dying.
"Child, you ......" Mo Hao trembled and stroked her cheek.
"Father...... Father...... Mo Ting is incompetent and unable to ...... I'll help you......" Mo Ting breathed rapidly and said to Mo Hao with great difficulty.
At this time, Mo Ting's mind was dizzy, and almost all the internal organs in her body were injured. She spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood, and her vision dimmed......
