Hou Jinbo saw that the doors of the houses in front of him were all very similar, as if they were carved from the same mold. They looked extremely boring. He couldn't help but look back at the street he had just passed. He sighed and said, "It's a pity that we passed by so many people." What a good thing, you can see it but not move it..."
"Who says it's not the case!" Mo Heng nodded in agreement.
Everyone continued to move forward with their own thoughts, and saw that the street scene here was very different. The exterior walls and layout of every house I passed seemed to be exactly the same, as if they were blocks of tofu, separated in an orderly manner by wide streets.
The crowd spread out slightly and were on guard in all directions, fearing that something might suddenly jump out on the roadside or something might happen again.
"If I guessed correctly, there should be space formations in these houses, and they must be much larger than what we see." Han Ling'er said with certainty as she looked at the houses with similar appearances.
"I'm afraid these houses are caves that can only be owned by people with status in the city." Qu Wuming was walking at the front and said without looking back.
At this time, Mo Heng was walking next to Han Ling'er. When he heard this, he nodded and agreed: "The methods of the Immortal family should be like this! If there is a secret space that can be entered in our Shifang Realm, the sects will treat it like a treasure. , what about here? Any room can be a treasure of space, like a big cabbage."
"Then the real treasures should all be in these courtyards?" Hou Jinbo looked at these courtyards with a fiery gaze.
Mo Heng said: "That's natural! And I guess even the city itself is a powerful treasure. It's just that it encountered an extremely powerful enemy. The residents of the city and the true immortals who control the city can't resist it. , so we urged the entire city to escape in the air. As a result, we were injured by powerful enemies during the escape, which resulted in not a single living thing in the city."
"Are you saying that the defensive restrictions on various mansions in the city should not be activated?" Ding Xian in the distance rolled his eyes and asked.
"At least we haven't encountered or felt the existence of any restrictions in the various shops in front of us, right? Of course, the anti-theft restrictions triggered by Hu Ba stealing things are another matter." Mo Heng shook his head and replied , "If all the creatures in this city were wiped out by the supreme power, then the original attack must have been directly aimed at the physical body - this is why all the people in the city have no bones left, but there are almost no traces of external damage to the buildings. s reason."
After finishing speaking, Mo Heng paused and continued: "Although we cannot speculate on the powerful methods of the Xian family, based on the current observed situation, I feel that ordinary residents in the city at that time may not have the opportunity to activate it. The defenses and counterattack restrictions throughout the city are probably all dead the moment they are attacked. Secondly, there is no need to activate them at all - because the strongest defense must be the defense of the entire city. The city’s defenses cannot withstand enemy attacks, so what use are the restrictions in these small courtyards?”
After hearing this, Han Linger thought for a while, nodded and said, "What Brother Mo said seems to make sense."
When Mo Heng saw Han Ling'er agreeing with him, he smiled slightly, puffed out his chest and said, "Haha, it's just speculation. As for whether it's accurate, you have to try it to know."
As he spoke, Mo Heng weighed the Immortal Sword in his hand, aimed it at a courtyard door about a foot away and threw it hard.
The fairy sword turned into a stream of light and pierced the center of the door.
Mo Heng had made a good calculation in his mind. If there was a restriction on the door, it would only hit the sword and not hurt himself. If there are no restrictions on the door, the force of this sword is strong enough to break the door open to see what other mysteries are inside - if there are treasures that can be obtained, then this journey of exploration will be worthwhile!
"No!" Qu Wuming in front of him turned around and noticed Mo Heng's movements, and when he tried to stop him, it was already too late.
The long sword hit the courtyard gate directly.
The originally quiet door suddenly lit up with a ball of light, and the sword wrapped around it rolled and flew back at a faster speed!
Mo Heng was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. When he saw the sword turning around and stabbing his chest, he hurriedly dodged.
The long sword passed Mo Heng's body. Although it missed his chest, it did not miss his arms.
Mo Heng let out a scream, and his left arm was broken at the elbow!
The long sword's remaining power remained unabated, and it pierced Han Ling'er's chest with a pop, causing Han Ling'er to fly backwards...
"Ling'er!" Qu Wuming was shocked when he saw this. He rushed over in three steps at a time, gently picked up Han Ling'er, hurriedly took out a pill and stuffed it into Han Ling'er's mouth.
However, the next moment, Han Ling'er trembled and vomited out a mouthful of blood. Before the pill had time to dissolve, she had spit it out and rolled to the side.
"Ling'er!" Qu Wuming shouted Han Ling'er's name while carefully examining Han Ling'er's wounds. His heart gradually sank - his sternum was completely broken and his heart was probably severed. If everyone still has the magic power, they can still escape from the Nascent Soul and seal the body for subsequent treatment. However, now, the Nascent Soul has fallen into silence, has no magic power, and is so seriously injured that there is no way to save it...
"Qu, Wuming, goodbye, don't be sad..." Han Ling'er looked at Qu Wuming's anxious and sad look, and tried to show a smile on her face. She raised a hand with all her strength, stretched out to Qu Wuming's cheek and said, "Goodbye. Until you, die, die in your arms, I, I..."
Before she finished speaking, Han Ling'er's hand dropped weakly and closed her eyes forever.
"Ling'er!!!" Qu Wuming let out a heart-rending cry, and two lines of tears quietly fell...
Although Qu Wuming has always boasted of wandering among thousands of flowers and playing in the world because of the exercises he practiced, it is precisely because of the exercises he practiced that he sincerely gives to everyone close to him. Han Ling'er is naturally no exception.
At this moment, seeing Han Ling'er die tragically in his arms but being unable to do anything, Qu Wuming felt as if someone had stabbed him hard in the heart and had a piece of flesh cut out!
Qu Wuming's heart was as sharp as a knife, and he cried bitterly for a while. He put Han Ling'er down gently, raised his long sword, and his eyes seemed to burst out with anger. He walked step by step towards Mo Heng, who was still screaming on the ground.
"Mo! Heng!"
Along the way, Mo Heng naturally knew the relationship between Qu Wuming and Han Linger.
At this moment, when he saw Qu Wuming approaching with blood-red eyes and holding a sword, he was already trembling with fear. He said in a trembling voice: "I didn't mean it! Don't, don't come here. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!"
Mo Heng's fear was not without reason. With Qu Wuming's strength and reputation, he is undoubtedly a fierce god to Mo Heng! Not to mention that now that he has a broken arm and no magic power, even at his peak, he is probably no match for Qu Wuming.
"I told you, don't touch the things here!" Qu Wuming said coldly, "You are greedy and harm others and yourself! A long time ago, you killed everyone in Wanghai Village to steal the tomb of Marquis Haihun. One hundred and thirty-two lives, do you think others don't know? You have long been on the Tianjing Division's kill list. I wanted to kill you after this mission, but I didn't expect that the momentary hesitation and delay actually caused harm. Ling'er..."
"Don't come here! Qu Wuming, have you forgotten? We all have missions, and we are not allowed to kill each other during the mission! If you kill me, you will suffer the backlash of the blood oath!" Mo Heng said as he said, While struggling to move back, he saw that Qu Wuming seemed unmoved and was still approaching him step by step. He quickly changed his words and begged for mercy, "I was wrong, I didn't mean it! Qu Wuming, Grandpa Qu, please spare my life!" "
"Mission? Blood oath? Humph, since you want to commit suicide, then go ahead and die!" From the corner of his eye, Qu Wuming caught a glimpse of Ding Xian and Hou Jinbo who seemed to be intending to stop him, and he suddenly jumped forward, holding in his hand The long sword pierced Mo Heng's throat with a pop like a snake. Then he flicked his wrist from left to right, and the huge head rolled down, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of Lao Gao.
…
Now there are only five people left in the group: Qu Wuming, Tong Xiangyu, Hou Jinbo, Hou Jinhai and Ding Xian.
Wei Yixian ran away to nowhere and is still missing.
The five of them have now become very silent. Hou Jinhai, Hou Jinbo and Ding Xian have even distanced themselves from Qu Wuming intentionally or unintentionally. Over the years, these three people have not been clean, and Qu Wuming The Tianjing Division he was talking about has now become a thorn in the throats of the three of them, and a sword hanging above their heads, fearing that Qu Wuming will kill them too if he doesn't go his way.
Tong Xiangyu had no such burden in her heart, and she always walked beside Qu Wuming intentionally or unintentionally.
He was already grateful because Qu Wuming saved his life before. After seeing Qu Wuming's heartbroken look after Han Ling'er's tragic death, he felt even more sympathy and guilt in his heart - if he could have taken action in time at that time, he wouldn't have been able to save his life. I can definitely block that long sword for Han Ling'er...
Everyone moved forward in silence, and soon arrived at the door of a huge mansion.
Different from the previous houses, this house is extremely large in scale. The walls on both sides of the gate extend to the left and right, dozens of feet away.
There were two large characters written on the plaque directly above the gate. Ding Xian recognized at a glance that these two characters were almost exactly the same as those at the city gate, and then read out: "Dongwei?!"
"I'm afraid Wei Yixian has already entered!" Hou Jinhai pointed at the door that had been opened a crack.
"I don't know what secrets this old guy hides! You must ask him carefully when you find him!" Hou Jinbo said.
Qu Wuming opened the way with his sword and walked sideways into the courtyard, followed closely by Tong Xiangyu.
After bypassing a screen wall with exquisite carvings, a waterside garden suddenly came into view.
Different from what you see outside, instead of being lifeless here, it looks full of life and prosperity, making people feel like they have entered another world.
Looking at the shore, there are green trees, blooming flowers and numerous butterfly shadows.
Look at the water, the golden scales are swimming, the spring is gurgling, and lotuses are growing everywhere.
There are countless rockeries in the garden, pavilions everywhere, waterside pavilions and pavilions, and winding paths leading to secluded areas. It can be said that every step of the way leads to a beautiful scene. If you look carefully, you can find that the colorful butterflies and golden scales are not real objects, but phantoms that seem to be generated out of thin air, but they look extremely agile.
And in this garden, there are actually more than a dozen figures walking around from time to time...
