What do summer flowers look like?
At least in this Xia Shangzhuguo's sword intention, Xia Hua carries a kind of heroism and extreme.
Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves.
Summer is the warmest, liveliest, and most lush season. Summer flowers are more beautiful and gorgeous, with gushing vitality, as if they are burning themselves.
The closer we get to autumn, the more summer flowers bloom. It is a kind of prosperity that is like a swan song. Before the withered cold autumn, every ounce of life must be thrown out without regrets.
Just like the current season, the weather in August is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. Summer flowers and singing cicadas bloom with their last wave of vitality and come to an end.
Now, flowers are blooming on the big tree that looks like Optimus Prime.
For a moment, even Tang Zhao, who was watching underground, was dazzled.
A moment ago, there were green tree crowns in the field of vision, but now, all I can see are flowers, flowers, flowers.
Purple and red flowers are piled all over the big tree, not only growing on the treetops, but also on the branches and even longer on the trunk. Each flower is very huge. The center of the flower is the size of a wheel, and the petals are in the shape of a long sword. , as if the hedgehog's thorns are expanding wantonly around, and those horny dragon-like branches seem to be overwhelmed, weighed down, and buried by the clusters of flowers. Finally, even the thick tree trunk was covered with flowers, one next to another, as if covered with a flower carpet.
When viewed individually, these flowers are all delicate and beautiful, but when piled together, perhaps because there are too many and too dense, or because the proportion to the tree trunk is too strange, they make people feel uncomfortable.
And those domineering flowers faced the sun, and the sword-shaped petals reflected a metallic luster, which seemed to contain a strong murderous intention.
Immediately afterwards, a strong floral fragrance came. That extremely strong smell can hardly be called a "fragrance".
Tang Zhao felt the excitement of the "flower fragrance" and turned his sword around. The sword's energy was as blazing as it protected him in all directions. When I looked up again, I saw that the fragrance of flowers was already strong in the air, visible to the naked eye, like a thick fog in the mountains, or like a dim halo, casting a layer of shadow in front of my eyes.
"What the hell……"
Tang Zhao knew that he couldn't touch the fragrant mist, so he jumped up again. When he heard a sound of wind coming from behind, he transformed into brilliance and hid away.
"嚓——"
A big flower came up behind him without knowing when, and the petals closed together like steel teeth and bit into it. Tang Zhao was extremely quick and avoided the sneak attack. He saw the petals rubbing against each other, making a sound of metal thorns.
Looking back, I saw that the trees were full of flowers, and all of them were moving slightly. The petals stretch and shrink, like a big mouth with teeth sucking blood, waiting for food. Because the petals can be imagined as mouths, but there are no parts that can be imagined as eyes, each flower looks like a misshapen monster.
When Tang Zhao saw these flowers, his heart felt slightly numb. The weird feeling made him feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his bones. He wanted to see how Deputy Chi was doing, but as soon as he turned around, he felt something in his heart again and jumped away again——
A flower pricked through him and brushed against his body.
How is it possible... His body is hanging in the air, far away from the flowers and trees...
Those flowers can actually grow!
Tang Zhao looked back and saw a python-like green vine underneath the flower plate that attacked him, which was the stem of the flower. …
The flower stem acts like a twisted neck, allowing the giant flower to leave the trunk and stretch forward to attack its enemies like a snake. Compared with the snake, the giant flower with the opening and closing flower disc is more weird.
In an instant, as if they had received some order, countless flowers broke away from the tree trunks and attacked all surrounding targets. The slender and swaying flower stems were like seaweed dancing in the sea, filling this increasingly weird space.
Tang Zhao and Deputy Chi were naturally the first to bear the brunt. They each had their own ways of escaping. Using their swords like light, they desperately escaped over the sea of flames in the forest outside. Although there are surging flames and rolling heat waves below, as long as you fly high enough, you will not be harmed. After all, the length of the flower stem is limited, and you can still escape as long as you are far enough away.
But they were completely expelled from the battlefield.
Tang Zhao turned around and saw that the cicadas that had lost their wings and were crawling underground were devoured by a few flowers. Their hard bodies had been shattered to pieces by the seemingly delicate petals, leaving no trace of their inner flesh. Only a few stumps of limbs remain.
Tang Zhao didn't care about the fate of these cicadas. They were all Shangzhu Kingdom's swordsmanship. In a sense, they committed suicide.
I just don’t know if Xing Ji can cope with the attack of those ugly cicadas and strange flowers that are still active in the sky?
"As you can see. Summer flowers are blooming here!"
In the high-altitude tree canopy, countless giant flowers are already dancing wildly. The high altitude has become a sea of summer flowers, the flower stems are seaweed from the sea, and the giant flowers are bloodthirsty sharks. Countless giant singing cicadas surround the sky, and together they form a bizarre tree kingdom.
Xia Shangzhuguo was holding a sword in his hand. He was in high spirits, his cheeks were extremely red, and his beard and hair were spread out. He pointed at Xingji as if he were standing on a handsome platform, watching the latter sink into the purple sea with his sword alone. His sword essence erupted all over his body like a flame, connecting with big trees, summer flowers, and singing cicadas. He showed unscrupulously that he was the core and spring of this ocean. Like these giants, he also entered a burning state. .
"Hahaha, little thief, look at me commanding thousands of troops to surround you. The only one who doesn't move here is a ready flaw. Why don't you just risk your life to get me? Instead, you dodge around like a bereaved dog that slips through the net." Fish? I understand, you are a slippery little thief, you don’t dare to take risks, you just want to delay time. You must think that my burning like this cannot last forever, and you will take advantage of the situation to fight back when my energy declines. You are right, I am indeed burning, just like a summer flower or a summer cicada, letting go to my heart’s content and not intending to live forever.”
"But as far as I'm concerned, blooming now is not enough, not enough!"
He seemed to be roaring and shouting. Jianyuan's momentum was still rising. Not all flowers burned as much as he did. Countless flowers withered like burnt ashes, but more flowers were more intense. It bloomed, and the petals stretched to their fullest, several times more than before. The flower disc danced wildly in the sun, and the fragrance was concentrated into water droplets, floating down like rain. The smell of the flowers became thicker and even stink, and the withered flowers became them. of nourishment.
Xingji came out from under the flower plate and grabbed the head of Biuan. There were layers of iron ropes behind him. Obviously the iron ropes acted as a blocking grid, but the summer flowers bloomed so powerfully that they were all-pervasive and indestructible, with countless petals. It squeezed out from the gap in the iron chain, or turned into a hacksaw that creaked at the chain, or turned into a soft, prickly tongue to lick him, trying to lick him out of hundreds of holes. …
If Xing Ji decided to fly higher and leave this flower country as much as possible, the cicadas in the sky would make a shrill chirp and rush towards him in a suicidal manner. These charging cicadas will continue to grow larger and stronger during the sprint, and then lose their voice and fall at the end of the attack. Apparently they have exhausted their last vitality in pursuit of sprint, and finally they are like fireworks that have been let off. Still extinguished and silent.
"Don't talk about cicadas and flowers, even I never plan to die. Summer is short, extreme heat is followed by cool autumn, and bloom is followed by withering. I never plan to let summer last forever, I just pray for that moment. For eternity, I will bury all my enemies in summer. For enemies like you, I will bloom with all my strength and let you die before autumn."
Xing Ji touched his 狴犴 while running away. This mythical beast is now missing an ear, which was just cut off by a flower. It's not that it can't be recovered, but the situation is tense now, so there is no need to waste extra swords. Yuan does this kind of thing. Just one ear. Although he was very embarrassed, he still took out his ears and said:
"Have I said enough about you, an old man? People say that Xing loves to talk at length, and I only have to talk to other people. It's not like you can talk so much by yourself. These are shameful words. You should really calm down for a while and think about what you just said. If you have any sense of shame, I guarantee you will find a way to slip into it in embarrassment."
Before he finished speaking, a flower slanted out from the side and surrounded him. The flower disk almost hit his face.
"puff--"
Before Xing Ji could draw his sword, a red light flashed next to him, knocked open the giant flower, and landed next to Xing Ji.
Xia Shangzhuguo thought at first that the other party was coming to help. He stared for a moment, but when he looked at it again, he saw that it was also a little tiger, a miniature version of Xingji's ferocious beast. He calmed down for a moment, then frowned and said: "This thing, I have seen."
It seemed to be the "lurking assassin" that he killed during patrol, but unexpectedly it recovered again.
As for swordsmanship, one cannot be killed in the first place. Only when the swordsman dies is it settled once and for all.
Xing Ji held the little tiger in his hands and said, "Of course you have seen it before. This is your wanted order - what I have been waiting for has finally come out!"
The little tiger stretched out his body and turned into a notice, fluttering slightly in his hand. He vaguely saw a lifelike big picture on it, which was the country of Shangzhu in summer. Below were a few lines of words, but they were blurry, not that they could not be seen. It's clear, but it's blurry, like blurred ink marks.
Xing Ji's expression darkened slightly, he put away his careless expression and said, "Sheng Wubing, I have something to ask you."
His tone of voice was formal and official, like a senior official sitting in a government office.
Sheng Wubing is naturally the real name of Xia Xia Shangzhu Kingdom. He is a veteran rebel who has been pursued by the imperial court for many years. His name is not a secret. The top leaders of the turtle bandits are not keeping secrets in the first place.
But Xingji called him by his first name, but Shangzhuguo's face darkened and he said: "Okay, you're just a junior, your life is at stake in an instant, you are showing me official authority here? What kind of authority does a pretend official in a dynasty show?" Originally, I cherished your talent and was willing to say a few words to you, but if you come up with a ridiculous official position, I will tell you to shut up immediately and forever."
Xing Ji seemed oblivious, and his tone became more formal, saying: "You are a traitor to the imperial court. I should have asked you about your rebellion against the imperial court first. But seeing the flowers you put there is evidence of your crime. Let me ask you, Were you responsible for the sinister disaster that happened in Zhouxiang, Pingming City, Dansheng County?!"
