In addition, there are more than a dozen guards and maids in the hall, as well as three or five menacing Jianghu people wearing golden rings of animal skins, who are probably the Tengu and Leopards.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a moment, but to their surprise, Nie Zhe was the first to break the silence.
He stared straight at Shangguan Haonan behind Cai Zhao, and was extremely happy: "Haonan, you, are you not dead? I sent many people to inquire, and they all said that you were killed by thieves. I think of you these days. It’s so heartbreaking to see the body and head in a different place!”
The tone was sincere and sincere, with the joy of meeting again after a long separation mixed with a touch of sadness.
Cai Zhao wanted to laugh, but felt sorry for the innocent and strong man behind him, so he had to hold it back.
Shangguan Haonan was originally very high-spirited, but now everyone was looking at him. He seemed to have been pierced by a frog in the belly. He was instantly deflated and shouted with a red face: "Nie thief old dog, you bully me and humiliate me, I will fight with you." We are irreconcilable!"
Nie Zhe looked hurt and said sadly: "Now that life and death are at stake, you are still so heartless to me. Have you forgotten all the good things I did to you in the past!"
Shangguan Haonan shouted angrily: "Good for you, mother!"
Nie Zhe said sadly: "I treat you sincerely, why do you just refuse to believe it?"
"Believe your father!"
Cai Zhao couldn't help it anymore and laughed out loud.
Yu Huiyin's face was ugly and full of embarrassment; although Nie Si'en was young, he was obviously no stranger to his father's hobbies, and he felt as if he had been slapped in the face; only Li Ruxin looked normal, lowering his head and softly comforting his son.
Even if everyone in the rest of the hall did not smile with eight teeth like Cai Zhao, they all showed muddy smiles with unknown meanings.
Song Yuzhi looked sideways and was surprised to find that Mu Qingyan did not smile at all, but instead had a solemn and guarded look on his face.
Nie Zhe said calmly: "Well, since Haonan refuses to listen, there is nothing I can do... Come on, do it!" - His tone suddenly changed with the last four words, urgent and cruel, as if he had become a different person.
Two rows of guards quickly gathered and were arranged densely. They stood in front of Nie Zhe and others like long shields. Each of them held an iron cylinder half a foot long and thick as a bowl. With the clattering sound of the machine, the sky was full of cows. The capillary needle spurted out from the iron cylinder.
Nie Zhe did not expect that Mu Qingyan and others would come out of his most secret secret passage, but he did consider the situation if someone sneaked into the Paradise Palace to assassinate him.
However, Mu Qingyan also took his considerations into consideration.
"Hold an umbrella!" He shouted in a deep voice.
I don’t know how many powerful characters have been deceived by Nie Zhe’s useless good-for-nothing appearance, and in the end they underestimated the enemy and were defeated.
Including himself.
Cai Zhao and others immediately untied the long-handled diamond umbrellas tied behind their backs and quickly opened them.
This is a magical weapon that Mu Qingyan ordered in advance. The handle and ribs of the umbrella are both made of fine iron, and the umbrella cover is made of sky silk mixed with gold thread. It is invulnerable to water, fire, and weapons. When opened, the umbrella surface is huge and slightly rectangular. The person behind the umbrella can avoid all incoming hidden weapons as long as he bends his body slightly.
The fine needles shot out, and Cai Zhao heard a sound like the sound of heavy rain hitting the umbrella surface, like a swarm of ants biting, and he couldn't help but feel a hair in his heart. It was also mixed with the sound of the tinkling needles falling to the ground. However, the rows of iron cannons were long and dense, and the poisonous needles shot out were also densely packed. If they wanted to approach Nie Zhe and others, they would inevitably be overwhelmed.
Cai Zhaoyan had the temperament not to fight back when she was in trouble. After the first and second rounds of fine needle shots, she spotted the opening and shot the silver chain from her left wrist. It wrapped around the necks and arms of the two guards and forcefully He dragged the two of them out of the queue.
Ah ah After several screams, the two people were shot into hedgehogs by poisonous needles flying in the air. They twisted in pain on the ground for a moment before dying.
Mu Qingyan understood Cai Zhao's intention in an instant, pulled down a string of bead curtains beside him, and shot it out like flowers all over the sky. The first row of guards who were continuing to pull the triggers immediately heard screams of pain. Cai Zhao took advantage of the opportunity, flicked his wrist, and dragged the guards again, adding up their corpses like a human barrier.
Of course, Nie Zhe saw this strategy, and there was a burst of black anger on his face, and he said sternly: "Change the queue! Use Bone-Erosion Sky Rain!"
The first row of guards who fired fine needles stepped back, and the second row of guards stepped forward. Each of them also held an iron cylinder half a foot long, but it was only as thick as the mouth of a cup.
The mechanism was pulled open, and ink-colored liquid glowing with green light spurted out like a drizzle, exuding a strong fishy smell.
Mu Qingyan's expression changed: "Be careful, this juice is extremely poisonous!"
Without him shouting, Cai Zhao and others also realized something was wrong and quickly used diamond umbrellas to protect themselves airtight.
The venom dripped on the carved fan, and the eternal red sandalwood immediately sunk into tiny holes. When it fell on the white marble floor tiles, it corroded into densely packed tiny black holes, which made people feel numb. Among the corpses on the ground, the situation was even more astonishing. Once this poisonous juice touched the flesh and blood, its corrosive effect quickly multiplied.
When Cai Zhao poked her head out from behind the umbrella to take a look again, the corpses had exposed their bones, and she was horrified. Even when the wire umbrella surface touches the dripping venom, white smoke rises. I wonder how long it can last.
Shangguan Haonan turned pale with fright and shouted, "What is this? It's so overbearing!"
Mu Qingyan said in a deep voice: "'Bone-eroding Sky Rain' was made by Lu Shinan under the orders of Nie Hengcheng, but no one could find the secret recipe after his death. I thought this thing had been made twenty years ago. Run out!"
Nie Zhe raised his head and smiled proudly, "It's a pity that the Mu family has been glorious for two hundred years. Today, the last descendants of the Mu family will be buried here, cluck, cluck, cluck..." - This is a warm love nest that he carefully arranged. If he is not forced to do so, He also doesn't want to use a big killing weapon like Bone Corrosion Tianyu.
The surrounding Tengu and Leopards immediately flooded with flattery, praising Nie Zhe like a flower.
Yu Huiyin showed an unbearable look on his face: "Fifth brother, this is not good. I don't know how much I regretted it after the fourth brother made the 'Bone-Eroding Sky Rain'. I remember that he asked the third brother to use the remaining 'Bone-Eroding Sky Rain' 'They were all destroyed. Where did you get these?"
Nie Zhe scolded: "Stop talking nonsense, you don't have to worry about my affairs!"
Cai Zhao frowned and looked at the bloody ground, then at the wood and floor tiles that were also eroded by the poison, and seemed to think of something. She glanced at the luxurious bed behind her, and immediately shouted: "Carpet!" As she spoke, her soft body quickly jumped into the bed like floating catkins.
Mu Qingyan was the first to react, "Yes, go and lift the carpet in the room inside!"
Shangguan Haonan also understood, and laughed and said, "Young lady is still very careful!"
A whole snow-white fur carpet was spread on the ground in the middle of the bed. It was soft and thick, very thick, very thick.
The four of them worked together to lift up the fur carpet. There was a loud crash, and all the cases and bowls and bedding on the carpet were shaken to the ground. For a while, the bright red, sapphire, blue, glazed, agate, and pearls all over the floor fell to the floor.
The four people stretched out the huge fur carpet like a huge flag. Their bodies hid behind the carpet, and then quickly pushed it outward——
Nie Zhe was confused about their actions before and was stunned for a moment. Now he seemed to understand a little bit and couldn't help shouting: "Quick, quick, stop them! Squirt, squirt, squirt!"
As he shouted, denser venom sprayed out into the sky, and the snow-white fur carpet was immediately eroded into black holes. However, the corrosion did not penetrate. The fur a few inches behind greatly slowed down the corrosion rate.
'Bone-corroding Tianyu' is unusually overbearing on flesh and blood bodies. It can be said that if it touches the body, it will die, and gods and ghosts can't do anything about it. But on dead objects, such as wood and stones, the effect is not so fast - Nie Zhe himself discovered this. point.
Soon enough, a huge wall-like carpet was pushed in front of me. Nie Zhe retreated continuously under the protection of the Tengu Leopard. Li Ruxin and her son also hid in a corner of the hall under the protection of the maidservants. Only Yu Hui was in a dilemma. He neither wanted to help Nie Zhe nor could he turn around and leave.
As Shangguan Haonan roared violently, the huge carpet was pushed directly onto the guard who was spraying venom from his own body, and covered his head and face. The other three people took the opportunity to greet the venom iron cylinders in the hands of this row of guards.
Mu Qingyan still took out a large handful of pearls from the door curtain. Song Yuzhi took out a small sleeve arrow with a gold blade and a silver spine from his waist pouch. Cai Zhao refused to be extravagant, so he picked up some glazed agate fragments on the sleeping floor.
The three of them exerted their strength, and the venom iron cylinder in the hands of the seventeen guards exploded. The wall of the cylinder was either broken by the pearl, the nozzle was torn apart by the small sleeve arrow, or the mechanism was knocked off by the ruby sapphire fragments.
The venom flowed out along the crack, and the seventeen guards let out shrill screams. They were unable to throw the iron cylinder, and they could only watch as their venom-stained palms were slowly corroded until the bones were exposed, and then rotted all over their bodies.
Song Yuzhi felt pity in his heart, raised his hand and flew out a few arrows from his sleeves, giving these guards a happy blow.
As soon as Nie Zhe saw that something was wrong, he immediately escaped from the living room with his thugs, completely ignoring his wife and children.
Mu Qingyan stretched out his long sleeves, flew over the high domed palace beams like an eagle, and rushed forward.
Shangguan Haonan was the fastest in pursuit. If he couldn't capture Nie Zhe this time, he felt that his life would not be better in the future.
Venom, blood, rotting corpses and white bones hanging with broken flesh were a mess on the ground.
Cai Zhao clasped his hands together and silently recited a few lines of the Purana Sutra, while Song Yuzhi waited for her quietly.
Soon there was the sound of fighting outside the door. Cai Zhao opened his eyes, raised the knife and left.
Song Yuzhi followed.
.
Chapter 77
Outside the living room are two winding corridors, and across the corridors is a medium-sized banquet hall.
When Cai Zhao and others arrived, they saw Mu Qingyan somehow getting ahead of Nie Zhe and others and blocking the entrance to the banquet hall. Several dead or injured guards lay scattered around his feet. The pine and evergreen carpet woven with gold threads was stained with mottled dark red, stretching to the feet of Nie Zhe and others.
There was a confrontation between two sides in the empty banquet hall. On one side were twenty or thirty Nie clan members who were waiting in full formation, and on the other side there was only one person.
The young man was tall and fair, dressed in black clothes with rich embroidery, and his eyes were cold. He was like a majestic and handsome mountain standing in front of everyone, but no one dared to step forward.
"Uncle Nie, don't leave in a hurry. Where has the spirit of more than a year ago gone?" The young man said softly, "What did you say back then, 'You are not greedy for power, but the divine religion should be filled with capable people.' . In that case, how about you and I facing off again?"
Nie Zhe's face turned green and red for a while, and then he said after a while: "...I have been feeling unwell these past few days, so we will discuss the match tomorrow."
Mu Qingyan chuckled: "Uncle Nie chose the date for the decisive battle between you and me seventeen months ago. Now, it's up to me to choose the date. It's better to choose the day than to hit it. I think today is good."
Nie Zhe gritted his teeth: "In those years when you and your son lived in seclusion in Huanglaofeng, I didn't feel sorry for you at all. More than a year ago, you and I agreed that our life and death would be determined by fate. Now you are relying on outsiders to make things difficult indiscriminately. Me, what’s the point!”
As an 'outsider', Song Yuzhi silently took a step back, but Cai Zhao did not move.
Shangguan Haonan put his hands on his hips and shouted: "Nie, stop talking nonsense! It makes no sense for you to be the leader of the church. What do you think of your cultivation, reputation, and virtue? How many members of the church have died at the hands of your lackeys because they refused to accept you as the leader of the church over the years. Here, do you dare to open the gate of Paradise Palace and summon all the believers to discuss it!"
Nie Zhe was badly raped by his former Bai Yue, but the dog leg next to him also had a mouth, so he started yelling and swearing——
"You dare to be disrespectful to the leader of the cult, but I will take you to the God-Eating Platform and make you suffer to death!"
"The two elders of Yaoguang Kaiyang were the confidants of the old leader Nie back then. As their descendant, you turned your back on the master and asked for glory. You deserve to die!"
"Hahaha, if it weren't for my beauty, this guy wouldn't even be worthy of carrying my shoes!"
"How can I be pretty? I just have a straight head and a straight face."
"Hey hey hey, you don't understand, someone's beauty comes later..."
If You Guanyue were here today, he would definitely scold him in all kinds of ways, but Shangguan Haonan didn't have this ability. He blushed and was about to pull out his old fist and hit it. Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, he saw a slender figure floating past, Enter Nie Zhe's camp.
The silver arm knife flashed past, stained bright red, and the four people who had just spoken so eloquently immediately splattered with blood on the spot. Each person's throat was marked with a deep knife mark of exactly the same length and thickness.
The girl was as pure and beautiful as the peach blossoms in early spring, but her attack was so ruthless and decisive, everyone was shocked.
Even though the cultivation level of the four people just now was not high, it was not easy for them to have their throats cut simultaneously in the blink of an eye.
Cai Zhao turned around and said, "Master Shangguan Altar, are the four of them bad guys?"
Shangguan Haonan came to his senses and said: "Of course! These four people are just trying to flatter others. They have no ability. They only bully the believers and harm the weak. They deserve to die!"
"That's good." Cai Zhao sighed, bright and sad, "If I hurt a good person by mistake, then I would blame myself too much."
——Everyone: If you finish killing first and then ask if he is a bad person, you are indeed blaming yourself!
The girl who was 'easy to blame herself' shook her sword, blood beads rolled down from the sharp silver blade, and a vicious sickle splattered on the ground.
She said calmly: "The world is difficult, prices are soaring, and everyone is very busy, so don't go on and on. The eldest nephew of the Nie family, either do what Mu Shaojun wants, or we can kill anyone indiscriminately. Whoever, just let nature take its course."
She said to Mu Qingyan, "I'm right in saying that."
Mu Qingyan smiled: "There is nothing wrong at all."
After hearing this, Nie Zhe's heart moved. Looking at the strong and loyal guards surrounding him, Li Ruxin's expression changed drastically. She tightly protected her sick son and huddled behind the maidservant.
Mu Qingyan strode forward, knocked away the two guards, and approached Nie Zhe: "Nie Zhe, stop dreaming. If we really start killing people indiscriminately, others will be fine. How could I miss you?"
Nie Zhe took a deep breath and said, "Okay, then you can do it alone!"
"Okay." Mu Qingyan looked as usual.
Song Yuzhi frowned and whispered, "What if Nie Zhe gets into a chariot battle?"
