"Are you kidding me?"
When he said this, Xie Zhe was blown to the ground by the fierce flapping of the tengu's wings. He felt like his bones were falling apart, all supported by the outer layer of human skin. With each move, he only relied on the barrier created by Fengyun Zhan in a short period of time as a defense. Just defending was a problem, let alone taking the initiative to attack. And this is the limit of what he can do. If he is close, he has no chance of winning. As soon as Xie Zhe stood up straight, he heard Han Chang say such words and couldn't help but frown.
But Han Chang is indeed extremely serious: "You are here, but I can't use it. If I transform into a prototype, I will have a chance of winning."
Xie Zhe's eyes quickly glanced left and right, thinking briefly. He knew that there was no need to be polite to Han Zhang at this time, and Han Zhang had never shown his full strength in a battle. Reason told him that this decision was probably correct, but emotions gave him another answer. And this answer was spoken by Ling Huan on his behalf.
"What do you do? What if you can't win?"
"It's better than losing everything."
Lord Kisaragi's battlefield turned to their side. She grabbed her other missing arm with one hand and used it as a weapon to hit a puppet hard, knocking it over to the ground from the side. Lord Kisaragi must have heard their conversation and said bluntly:
"No! We can't take this risk. This is not a wilderness. If this thief jumps over the wall and threatens the lives of the people around him, what should you do?!"
While the few people thought for a moment, the Nightmare Dog rushed towards them. Xie Zhe immediately raised his sword, and a ball of thunder rolled down and hit the Nightmare Sky Dog directly. It was struck by lightning and suddenly fell from the sky, hitting the ground hard and suppressing several puppets. The humanoid limbs stretched out from its flanks, struggling as if to grasp something, which made people feel numb. The Nightmare Dog was really injured, his whole body was paralyzed, and he couldn't move for a while.
"How did you do it?!" Han Chang was surprised, "It seems like there's no need to drive you away. Are you doing well?"
"No - I don't know...I don't know what I did just now, I was just impetuous."
Xie Zhe was telling the truth. He just turned around and saw the Tengu attacking head on. He didn't think much about it at that time. His only thought was to never give in. It couldn't be that Fengyun Zhan had grown eyes and couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the initiative, right? Until now, he still couldn't fully understand how to deal with this elusive divine sword.
Zhen seems to be somewhat interested in this. He crossed his shoulders with his hands, leaned back slightly, and silently examined Xie Zhe and his sword. Of course he knew the origin of that sword, and he had also heard about the power of the so-called divine sword to control wind and rain. But he is a smart man, and he knows that in all these years, Fengyun Zhan has never had any news that shocked the world, or has become famous in the hands of any master. As for how magical this sword was, they were all stories passed down by people's mouths, so he didn't believe those stories easily. As the saying goes, seeing is believing, he knows it better than anyone else. It is easier to just tell some deeds from his mouth than anything else. As for whether it is true or false, most people just hear it as a novelty and will not verify it. This time, it was also the first time that he saw Fengyun Slash display its extraordinary power. Although compared to the reputation it deserves, this group of thunder is just a child's play, but it is enough to explain the problem.
"Both Fengyun Slash and Resentful Erosion are made by a swordsmith." He suddenly said, "But as for who is better, I am somewhat looking forward to it. In addition to the power of the sword itself, the owner of it weighs a lot. Two should be counted."
"Speak humanly!" Han Chang didn't want to talk nonsense with him. Since he doesn't want to tell the whereabouts related to Wenjiu, he should keep his mouth shut.
"That move just now was really beautiful. I wonder if Mr. Xie can give me a favor and let me see it again?"
It's not like this has any good meaning. As soon as he finished speaking, the puppets suddenly stopped their previous undisciplined attacks like a group fight. Instead, they stayed in a stalemate for a while, and then each started making finger gestures. The doll cannot speak, but it is not easy to make gestures as flexibly as a human being. Xie Zhe scanned it roughly and could tell that they were different five-element fingering techniques. How on earth did he make these different puppets perform different actions? He may have given some instructions, but not in a way that others could understand.
But figuring this out is not the most important thing—the most important thing is to save your life.
They must be stopped, this was Xie Zhe's first thought. But no matter how hard he swung his sword, Fengyun Slash no longer had the same effect as before. Isn't this what he is most worried about? Lost the power of Feng Yunzhan at the critical moment. What's the point of such a short-lived flash in the pan? He looked up at the sky. The clouds were calm and the wind was still, but the dark atmosphere was getting thicker.
No...wait, what is that?
On the side of the sky where Xie Zhe was staring, a bright light gradually approached. As soon as Ling Huan patted his arm, he knew that everyone except him had seen it. It appeared from the sky behind Zhen, but he hadn't noticed it yet. The speed of the light was extremely fast, and it was close at hand in the blink of an eye.
Lord Ruyue suddenly said sharply: "Get down!"
Before the others could react, she pressed Ling Huan down and knocked down Xie Zhe and Han Zhang who were unprepared with another sweeping kick. The two of them suddenly threw themselves on the ground, but felt a strong wind passing above them. The wind was so strong that my clothes were pulled upward. The strong light is very bright, but it is not dazzling, but has a different kind of softness. This gust of wind lasted for a long time, but they all realized that it was not just a simple wind itself, but a powerful flow of spiritual power. Ling Yu raised his head slightly and saw a few slender, soft wisps of purple fluorescence passing in front of his eyes.
The wind stopped and they quickly got up. I saw a faint blue light glowing on the chests of those puppets. They all covered their chests stiffly, as if to prevent the light from extinguishing. But those lights like fireflies still fled out one after another, gathered together again, and continued to pursue the place where the spiritual power flowed. Immediately afterwards, the puppets fell down one after another, losing all the light in their eyes and unable to stand up again.
Looking back, they saw the fluorescent lights following a bird-like silhouette. The silhouette has a long neck, plump wings, and long and beautiful tail feathers. It flaps its wings and soars in the night sky, exuding a soft dark color. Such a beautiful creature is so unrestrained that any creature trapped on the ground can't help but yearn for it.
"This is..." Surprise still filled Ling Huan's heart.
"Yes, the city-protecting bird... Dai Luan."
Lord Ruyue muttered something softly, hesitating on the last two words.
"Cough...well, cough cough——"
However, the evil angel did not dodge just now. The spirit body of the divine bird completely penetrated his body, causing him to cough up a pool of black blood at this moment. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, raised his head slightly, and stared at them with a dark gaze. Although he bled a lot, he at least still stood there, as if he wasn't seriously injured. At this moment, those puppets who had lost their essence fell to the ground, lying in a mess.
They are no longer indestructible, nor are they prized.
Because their former master quickly issued new orders.
"Ahem... don't waste time with these rats—how long do you want to sleep?"
This order was not issued to those dead creatures, but to the huge living creatures. Nightmare Tengu slowly lifted up his heavy body and tilted his head in their direction. The four of them each took a few steps back, not knowing what it wanted to do. But everyone knows very well that the puppets all over the ground will be abandoned together with the courtyard, which also shows that the Wuyong clan is more than just a few hundred empty shells.
I saw the dog regaining its strength that day, facing them, opening its bloody mouth. The sharp and dirty fangs are so disgusting, and the thick black substance seems to be liquid and gas. It flapped its wings and soared into the air, letting out a weird roar. The cry was so earth-shattering that it was more alarming than any previous sound it had made. It seems to arouse fear in people's hearts, pull out all the negative emotions one by one, and turn the pure water in people's hearts into a mess. The puppets were all broken, one after another, making a shattering sound, but no one could hear it. People only saw that the puppet gradually cracked, turned into porcelain shards, and then turned into fine powder. Those hairs seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. Each hair was twisting and roaring as if it was alive. The human eyeballs also exploded one after another. The scene was stomach-churning.
Dark red and black thick blood gushed out of Lord Kisaragi's mouth. She touched it with her only remaining hand and felt a little weird. She looked at the others and saw that they were all in agony. The three of them were holding their heads, covering their ears in vain, and hitting their heads from time to time. The severe pain in their brains almost squeezed out their lives, and the grief of the past was constantly brought up and magnified, making people miserable. She was at a loss and didn't know how to help them.
Lord Ruyue suddenly noticed that Ling Huan no longer covered his ears, but opened a book with difficulty under the powerful spiritual pressure.
Another burst of black mist emerged from the book and connected to her fingertips. But soon, this invisible thing condensed its own shape in the roar - although it was a bit difficult. The Nightmare Dog was probably a little confused, so he stopped saying anything and looked at the monster with vigilance. Everyone could clearly see an unusually tall monster that looked like a crab or a spider standing in front of them. Compared to the Tengu, it is indeed much smaller, but how big are real crabs and spiders? This makes it look scary. But just such a monster has an ugly bull's head and a pair of big horns belonging to a cow. Han Chang recognized it at a glance.
"Is it... Niu Gui?" After saying that, he and Xie Zhe looked at Ling Huan worriedly.
The monster named Ushiki spewed venom several feet high from its mouth and headed straight for the Nightmare Tengu. The venom was accurately poured onto its head, and a burst of gray smoke immediately erupted from its body, carrying an unpleasant smell. But it just shook its head, as if it was drenched by ordinary water, and it was not a big deal - and at the same time, it was as angry as if it was drenched by ordinary water.
But Zhen's expression changed subtly.
Xie Zhe caught it. He immediately turned his head, looked behind the group of them, and let out a short exclamation. Several people turned around and saw the city-protecting bird coming back and running towards them. I just don’t know if those blue fluorescent lights are still there.
When the divine bird Dailuan was still some distance away from them, Zhen suddenly appeared behind Lingyu like a ghost.
He grabbed Ling Huan's wrist, ignoring her pain as if he were manipulating a piece of wood. After ignoring Ling Huan's whining, his dark blue eyes showed a trace of slyness.
"How...did you do that just now?"
