Chapter 457: Assassination in the Night
At this time, a guard ran in from outside and said, "Tell the Fourth Young Master of Changyang Xiangtian that there is a person named Mingdong outside who asks to see him." ”
Hearing Ming Dong's name, Jian Chen was slightly stunned, and then his expression immediately showed a hint of joy, and he walked out of the hall quickly.
When Jian Chen walked out of the palace, he saw a young man in a white robe standing there with a smile on his face, it was Ming Dong, who had not been seen for half a year.
Ming Dong came to Jian Chen's side with an excited smile on his face, stretched out his hand and patted Jian Chen's shoulder heavily, and said with a smile: "Hey, Jian Chen, you are really back, much faster than I expected." ”
Jian Chen looked at Ming Dong, now Ming Dong looks like he has changed very obviously from half a year ago, his temperament is more calm, and he doesn't look as impetuous as before.
"Let's go in and talk!" Jian Chen entered the palace with Ming Dong with a smile on his face, this palace was specially arranged by His Majesty the King for Jian Chen to live alone, and it was guarded by fifty black armor soldiers outside.
Jianchen and Mingdong sat down on the chairs, and a maid next to them immediately poured tea and brought snacks for the two, and then retreated under Jianchen's orders.
"I was just about to say I'll look for you when I'm free, but I didn't expect you to hide in the palace. Jian Chen's mood also seemed to be very happy, Ming Dong and he were the brothers with the best relationship, and the two brothers were naturally very happy to see each other.
"As soon as the war ended, I accepted the invitation of His Majesty the King, and it was difficult to refuse, so I came to the palace to stay for a few days, and by the way, I also experienced this kind of life, this is the first time I have lived this kind of life, so naturally I want to enjoy it for a few more days. Ming Dong laughed.
"Have you enjoyed enough?" said Jian Chen.
Ming Dong took a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth and chewed it in a big gulp, and said vaguely: "I originally wanted to stay here for a few more days, but since you are back, then I will naturally follow you in the future, where you go, I Ming Dong will go." ”
Suddenly, Ming Dong turned his head to look at Jian Chen, and said, "By the way, Jian Chen, should I call you Changyang Xiangtian, or should I call you Jian Chen?"
"You still call me Jian Chen, I prefer this name, I just use the name Changyang Xiangtian at home, and outside, I am Jian Chen. Jian Chen said without hesitation.
Ming Dong nodded, his face suddenly became serious, and said: "I have successfully completed the task you gave me, and I have personally handed over the Heaven Conquering Transformation Gong to your father, and I also know about your previous affairs, the affairs of Huayun Sect are counted as my share of Ming Dong, don't forget to call me when the time comes." ”
Jian Chen smiled and said, "There's no need for this, I've already solved the matter of Huayun Sect." ”
Ming Dong was slightly stunned, and asked suspiciously: "How did you solve it?" You won't let Hua Yunzong go so easily, right?" ”
Jian Chen and Ming Dong have been discussing late at night in the palace, for Ming Dong, Jian Chen has nothing to hide, everything that happened after separating himself from him, tell everything he can tell, just hide the little white tiger's matter, it's not that Jian Chen doesn't trust Ming Dong, but the little white tiger's affairs are less known about the better, and telling Ming Dong about this matter is probably going to increase Ming Dong's pressure invisibly.
After hearing everything that happened to Jian Chen, Ming Dong was also embarrassed, especially when Jian Chen said that he was fighting against the eight Sky Saint Masters, Ming Dong was shocked when he heard it.
"I didn't expect so many things to happen, the Jade family and the Shi family must not forgive him, and when we have enough strength, we must make these two families pay a heavy price. But Jian Chen, you can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, although you have suffered a catastrophe, but your strength has also improved by leaps and bounds, and you have become the powerhouse of the Sky Saint Master, and you have also become the protector of the Qin Imperial Kingdom, it really makes me unbelievable, if I guessed correctly, you should only be twenty-one years old. ”
It wasn't until late at night that Naruto left, a guest of the Kingdom of Gesen who had his own residence in the palace.
After Ming Dong left, Jian Chen also entered the room and sat cross-legged on the bed in contemplation. At this time, the little white tiger who was sleeping on the bed finally digested the medicine and woke up.
The little white tiger stood up refreshed, stretched his limbs lazily on the bed, stared at Jian Chen's bright little eyes with a pair of bright eyes, and then jumped to Jian Chen's shoulder, rubbing Jian Chen's face affectionately with his furry little head, and made a whining sound in his mouth, very attached to Jian Chen.
The little white tiger can freely control the size of its body, so now its body still looks only one foot long, as if it has always been a little white cat, well-behaved and cute.
Jian Chen hugged the little white tiger off his shoulder, felt the energy in the little white tiger's body, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face, it has only been a few days, the strength of the little white tiger has been improved to the strength of the third-order demonic beast, this growth rate is indeed very terrifying, if it goes on like this, as long as he can provide sufficient natural materials and earth treasures, the strength of the little white tiger can definitely be improved to the fifth order within a year.
"It's not a loss that the Heavenly Winged Divine Tiger only appeared once in ancient times, and this growth rate is really too fast. Jian Chen also sighed in his heart.
Jian Chen once again took out a few thousand-year-old heavenly and earthly treasures from the space ring, and said in a low voice: "Work hard to improve your strength, and if you can, you can increase your strength to the highest, so that you can have the ability to protect yourself." ”
The treasure of heaven and earth has an irresistible attraction to the little white tiger, as soon as he saw a few thousand-year-old heaven and earth treasures in Jian Chen's hand, the little white tiger immediately lit up his eyes, swallowed it all, showed a very happy look in his eyes, and hiccuped comfortably, and then he lay in Jian Chen's arms and closed his eyes, falling into a deep sleep to digest the medicinal power.
Looking at the sleeping little white tiger, Jian Chen's face showed a trace of sadness, and he muttered: "The later it is, the more huge the energy required, and the speed of digesting energy will also increase exponentially, I don't know how long the heavenly and earthly treasures in my hands can support, it seems that I have to think of a way." ”
Then, Jian Chen's eyes slowly closed, holding two fifth-order demon cores in his hands to cultivate, without the king's soldiers, Jian Chen's only use the energy in the demon core to slowly evolve into the power of chaos.
Jian Chen's knowledge of the power of chaos is very powerful, although he can't use it at present, but when the foundation is laid, he will naturally be able to use the power of chaos in the future, and this foundation is the physical body, only the physical body is strong enough to support the operation of chaos in the body, and now, he needs enough chaotic power to strengthen the physical body.
When he was able to use the power of chaos, Jian Chen believed that his strength would once again make a qualitative leap.
In the second half of the night, the entire palace was quiet, quiet and terrifying, and a team of soldiers in black armor were mentally shuttling around every place in the palace, silently guarding the safety of the palace.
Suddenly, a figure completely hidden in the night flashed away, silently approaching the palace where Jian Chen lived, the surrounding darkness completely submerged his figure, and the whole person seemed to be completely integrated into the darkness, even if someone approached him, I am afraid it would be difficult to detect his existence.
The figure that melted into the darkness easily avoided the black-armored army guarding the outside of the palace, and quietly entered the interior, the interior of the palace was pitch black, without the slightest fire.
The darkness around him didn't seem to affect the shadows in the slightest, and he could see his surroundings very clearly in the night. After the black shadow glanced around, he took his hands and feet, and silently came to the room where Jian Chen was resting, and saw Jian Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and cultivating.
When the black shadow was ten meters close to Jian Chen, a jade bottle appeared in his hand, and he gently lifted the lid of the jade bottle, only to see a faint trace of gas emanating from the jade bottle, slowly drifting towards Jian Chen.
The black shadow waited for a few breaths, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he put away the jade bottle, and a jet-black dagger appeared silently in his hand, and then his body turned into a black light and shot towards Jian Chen, and the dagger in his hand pierced Jian Chen's throat.
At this moment, a purple-blue light flashed in the dark room, and I saw a crisp sound of iron colliding, and the figure of the black shadow rushing forward stopped abruptly, and the body did not advance but retreated, and the footsteps staggered back several steps, and every step on the ground made a dull footsteps.
"It's really rare to meet a holy power with dark attributes. A faint voice sounded in the dark room, and he saw that Jian Chen, who was cultivating, had already opened his eyes, and the darkness around him didn't seem to affect him either, and his flat gaze looked at the figure that seemed to be completely integrated into the darkness.
"You... You didn't have anything to do, how could this be. The figure hidden in the night was astonished.
Jian Chen smiled faintly: "Your poison is too weak, and it is not effective against me at all." ”
The black shadow knew that the assassination had failed, and that his sneaking was discovered by the other party like this, and that the frontal fight was not Jian Chen's opponent at all, so he immediately did not hesitate, and his body turned into a black light, rushing outside at lightning speed, completely silent.
The people of the dark attribute holy power, known as the king of the night, will be their world in the dark night, because they can not only hide their aura perfectly, but also make their bodies melt into the darkness, which is difficult to be detected.
"If you want to leave, it's not so easy. Jian Chen sneered, grabbed the void in his palm, and the originally dark space suddenly became brighter, and in an instant, a fiery elemental sword with a whole body was condensed, and the bright fire light illuminated the dark room red, and even the black armor army guarding outside was alarmed.
"Whoosh!" With a shake of his hand, the fire elemental sword shot out quickly, deftly turning a few corners in the room, and finally broke through the door, shooting lightning towards the fleeing black shadow.
"Boom!" A violent roar sounded, the sky was full of fire, the entire palace was shocked, the black shadow was engulfed by the fire that emitted a strong high temperature, let out a miserable scream, it was no longer possible to hide his body exposed, the clothes on his body were instantly burned to ashes, and although he escaped from the sea of fire, he was already seriously injured.
"There are assassins!"
"There are assassins!"
The originally quiet palace instantly became lively, a large number of soldiers in black armor ran quickly from a distance with torches, there were constantly figures flickering on the roof, and some masters hidden in the palace also rushed towards the place where the fire was shining at full speed.
Seeing that the traces of the sword were exposed, the people who came to assassinate the sword dust did not dare to stay for a long time, regardless of the injuries on their bodies, they got up and fled into the darkness in the distance.
At that moment, a pale cyan light flashed away, shooting from a distance at an incredible speed, blocking the man's way to escape.
