In the blink of an eye, the roaring fire thistle terrestris flew towards Shen Zheng in the direction of the city gate with its bloody mouth open.

The raging flames instantly engulfed dozens of three-screen soldiers, and the screams pierced the blood-like sky.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhang Chao, who had been guarding the city gate, led hundreds of soldiers out of the city to support Shen Zheng.

While dragging the wounded soldiers and carefully dodging the constantly flying thistles, Shen Zheng and Chen Zhongliang's soldiers got closer and closer to the city gate, but the casualties were getting bigger and bigger.

Although the soldiers brought out by Zhang Chao had already joined Shen Zheng and fought the enemy together, they were still struggling.

The sizzling sound of the flames burning, the whistling sound of the arrows breaking through the air, and the shouts of the soldiers, heard Chen Jian's heart tense for a while.

In front of his eyes, there was a tragic scene of battlefield fighting.

The soldiers who were hit by the thistle terrestris were trying their best to fight the flames rising from their bodies, but they still couldn't stop the raging fire.

The soldier who was still bravely resisting the enemy fell to the ground with a sharp arrow, but his eyes were still looking into the distance.

That distant hometown, that hometown that can never be returned.

That's all a fresh life, but the position is different, maybe it's just because they can't be born independently, but they have to fight each other like this and fight for their lives.

Jian Chen looked at the qiē in front of him, but he only felt that it was getting more and more blurry.

They could have not died.

If it weren't for the fact that he was too naïve, he believed in Yelufu.

If it weren't for his own uselessness, he was surrounded by enemy troops.

This qiē is all self-inflicted.

For that pathetic attachment, for that belief that could have been abandoned.

Mu Mu stood on the spot, and Chen Jian's eyes rolled up a heavy red.

The internal force began to emerge from Chen Jian's dantian unconsciously, and slowly went upstream.

The Xuanbing cold beads in the body are constantly releasing dense and dense ice true qi under the urging of internal forces.

The surging icy true qi met the internal force that was wandering around, and instantly fused with it, wrapping around the whole body.

The icy true qi is constantly rising, one, two、——

The loess at his feet was gradually covered with frost.

The true qi is still condensing, ninefold, tenfold-

It seems that there is no sign of stopping.

The soldiers on both sides who were fighting were faintly aware of the abnormality here.

Jian Chen's body was already filled with a heavy cold mist.

The people around them, seeing this strange sight, all froze.

Yelu Fu's eyebrows showed a look of horror, but Shen Zheng and Chen Zhongliang looked surprised.

The fog disappeared in an instant.

The fog cleared, and dozens of sharp swords appeared.

These sharp swords, condensed by ice, are floating in the air.

The tip of the sword, aimed at Yelufu's fire dragon car, was making a buzzing sound.

And above the sword, a fire phoenix with wings spread rose up.

"Go!"

Jian Chen's eyes widened and he roared.

Between the fire and light stones, the fire phoenix flapped its huge wings, bringing gusts of wind, and the wind mixed with dozens of cold ice swords roared towards the fire dragon car, like a broken bamboo.

Everywhere he went, the terrifying fire dragon chariot rattled and shattered in the blink of an eye.

The tart soldiers opened their mouths wide and looked at the sudden situation in front of them in disbelief.

Everyone didn't move, just stunned on the spot.

Under the powerful impact, the broken arrow that was originally inserted in Jian Chen's chest suddenly shot out, bringing out a large amount of blood.

A mouthful of blood splattered out, and Chen Jian's knees weakened and he fell to the ground.

In front of me, there is only a full red eye, which is bright and eye-catching.

The seriously injured body couldn't bear the huge counter-devouring power of Xuan Bing's cold qi at all, and Chen Jian's qi was like a gossamer.

I'm sorry, I tried my best.

A smile flew up at the corner of his mouth, his eyes closed slightly, and Jian Chen fell heavily to the ground.

Shen Zheng looked at this qiē in a daze, and it wasn't until Jian Chen fell to the ground that he was the first to react from the wooden ne.

"Retreat, close the city gate!" In the surprise of the soldiers, Shen Zheng was the first to take the lead and ran towards the city gate.

Shen Zheng's shout woke up the stunned Chen Zhongliang, and he watched Shen Zheng run towards the city gate without looking back, but his eyes turned to seven or eight meters away.

Jian Chen lay there quietly, without a trace of movement.

Subconsciously, he got up with his feet and wanted to see how Chen Jian was doing.

It's just that his arm was pulled up by the people around him, "He's dead, the overall situation is important!"

Shen Zheng dragged Chen Zhongliang on the side, his eyes kept staring at Jian Chen not far away.

There he was, still unmoved.

"Chase, don't let them enter the city!" Yelu Fu saw that Shen Zheng's soldiers began to retreat, and immediately ordered.

Fang Cai was still stunned to look at the tart snow soldiers who had been destroyed in the fire dragon car, and they chased after them when they heard the general's order.

The remaining soldiers of the death row camp and the reinforcements led by Zhang Chao saw that Shen Zheng and Chen Zhongliang were about to enter the city, and the pursuers behind them were gradually approaching, and they all accelerated their pace and withdrew in the direction of the city gate.

The heavy gates slammed shut after the last soldier entered the city, leaving hundreds of snow soldiers shouting outside.

Seeing Shen Zheng running into the city, Yelu Fu was stunned for a while.

Turning to look at the fire dragon cart that had long since collapsed, his eyes fell to Jian Chen, who had fallen to the ground.

A thick murderous aura floated into his eyes, and Yelufu pulled out the big knife at his waist and walked forward.

The blade was slowly raised, the sharp tip glistening in the sunlight.

Jian Chen's eyes opened slightly, and he saw the blade hanging above and the face distorted with anger.

He didn't speak, he didn't seem to have any breath, and Jian Chen's expression didn't have a trace of waves.

The blade did not fall in the end, and Yelufu looked at the city gate that had long been closed, and a trace of cunning flew up at the corner of his mouth.

"Retreat!" Turning his height and raising his right hand, Yelu Fu looked at Shen Zheng, who had already stood on the city tower, with a grim expression.

Chen Jian on the ground still didn't move, but a small black spot seemed to appear in his eyes.

On the top of the mountain in the distance, a black figure faintly flashed.

Yes, you?

The slightly open eyes closed again, and Jian Chen's head tilted, and there was no more sound.

Under the orders of Yelufu, the army of Tart Snow began to withdraw in an orderly manner, and soon there were only thousands of corpses left on the battlefield.

It's just that the place where Chen Jian fell is now only charred loess.

"General Shen!" Chen Zhongliang looked at Shen Zheng who was standing beside him.

He vaguely saw that Yelufu carried away Jian Chen's body when he retreated.

At this time, Shen Zheng had a complicated look in his eyes.

He must have seen it. Chen Zhong's conscience secretly said.

"Remember. Shen Zheng said coldly, "Jian Chen, you have already died." ”

"But General, Chen Jianhe—" Chen Zhongliang saw that Shen Zheng was so indifferent, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

"I said, Jian Chen is already dead!" Shen Zheng didn't look back, turned around and left.

The resolute back stabbed Chen Zhongliang with a chill.

Turning his gaze to the city gate that had long been closed, Chen Zhongliang's heart ached faintly.

On the battlefield outside the city gate, the sunset is like blood.

On the top of the mountain and in the treetops, a man in black is leaping downward, and the black figure is shuttling like electricity in the green—

"Uh!" Shangguan Yunrui, who was looking at the actual records of the rivers and lakes, snorted lightly.

The fingers of his right hand were unexpectedly pricked by the small thorns on the bamboo slips, and a blood particle bulged out in an instant.

Slugging his lips lightly, Shangguan Yunruijun frowned.

How can you be so careless?

Shaking his head and calming down, Shangguan Yunrui continued to flip through the book in his hand.

In his mind, it was speeding at the moment.

Ever since he said goodbye to Jian Chen at Shen Zheng's military camp last time, he had been nervous in his heart.

The case of the slaughter of the village more than ten years ago not only involved the enmity of his parents, but also involved Chen Jian's life experience, he must find out.

After returning to Pingyang, he instructed Cheng Feng to help Pingyang Mansion find the truth about Dong Tianlei's murder, and he plunged into the library of Wulin Yuan.

In the library pavilion, there are many rumors and stories recorded on the rivers and lakes, and Shangguan Yunrui wants to find a clue from them.

Especially the rumors about the fire phoenix back then.

But although Huofeng ravaged Huachen for a long time, her affairs were only limited to her evil deeds.

Where she came from, what martial arts she used, why she killed the rivers and lakes, why she disappeared in the end, and whether she was alive or dead, there is almost no record.

What's even more tricky is that no one seems to mention the appearance of the fire phoenix.

It is said that everyone who saw the fire phoenix died.

Except, the original head of the Tianshan faction, Wan Zhongkun.

It is rumored that Wan Zhongkun's wife also died because of the fire phoenix, and Wan Zhongkun hated the fire phoenix to the core.

It's a pity that these are just rumors, there is no conclusive evidence, and Wan Zhongkun has never mentioned this matter to outsiders.

The more he knew about Huo Feng's evil deeds, the more uneasy Shangguan Yunrui's heart became, especially the death of Lady Wan Zhongkun because of her.

Could it be that Wan Zhongkun has been harshly criticizing Jian Chen since he was a child, because he knew that Jian Chen was the son of Huofeng, so he vented his anger on him?

No, it won't!

If Wan Zhongkun really knew that Jian Chen was Huofeng's son, why didn't he kill him to avenge his wife, but raised him himself?

In the bottom of his heart, Shangguan Yunrui has been trying to deny that Jian Chen is the son of Huofeng, but he doesn't know why, the more this is the case, the more uneasy his heart becomes.

Many things seem to be explained only by Jian Chen, who is the son of Huofeng.

For this terrifying thought in his mind, Shangguan Yunrui slapped his head vigorously, hoping to dispel this thought.

"Alliance leader, alliance leader!"

In the middle of the annoyance, there was a knock at the door.

"What's the matter!" Shangguan Yunrui was impatient.

"Happy event!" Cheng Feng hurriedly pushed the door in, "Pingyang Mansion has found a witness." ”

"Witnesses?"

Could it be?

"On the night Dong Tianlei was killed, a merchant happened to leave the city and saw Chen Mengzhu in the suburbs. Because he has been staying in his hometown these days, he doesn't know about Pingyang County. In the past few days, he came back, and when he heard that Chen Mengzhu was identified as killing Dong Tianlei that night, he rushed to Pingyang Mansion as soon as possible. ”

"Great!" Shangguan Yunrui was ecstatic. "We can finally get the case overturned for this idiot. ”

Since Yiqiē is still in the fog, then I will bring you back to me first.

Shangguan Yunrui's expression was filled with joy that could not be concealed in sadness.
