As soon as he finished speaking, a man with the eyes of a harpy took a step forward from the circle surrounded by demons and ghosts, and shouted loudly: "Brother next to you, we only want the person behind you, the sword has no eyes, you hide Come on, don’t hurt you!”
Li Jianguo calculated the probabilities desperately.
Looking at this situation, there are probably two people VS seventy or eighty people.
It's over now, let alone a frail Huang Si, even a rich and powerful man can't possibly handle so many people?
This time it was considered reimbursed.
There is no need to be a scapegoat, now I will die first to respect you.
While he was planning what to do, he heard Huang Si speak, with the same smiling tone as before: "Oh, I also have a mission. This man can't pay you back at the moment. Besides, he still owes me money. You chopped him up." Who should I look for to take a photo of my head?"
"How much do I owe you?"
"The reward is currently fifteen taels, but," Huang Si glanced at the shivering Li Jianguo from the corner of his eye, "it will soon become thirty taels. Are you right, sir?"
Li Jianguo nodded like a fool: If you can really save me, let alone thirty taels, I will give you even three thousand taels!
At this time, someone next to the hawk whispered something to him. He looked at Huang Si and nodded thoughtfully: "So you are a shady agent. Then why are you bothering? We already knew about the yinzi. We can't pay wages any more, so what's the point of working for this damn government? Just throw him over here and we'll have a good time together."
Huang Si clicked his tongue twice and said with a smile: "Hey, after all, it is an iron rice bowl. Besides, if I kill everyone, no matter what, you have to give me a job, right? Who doesn't have some career ambitions?"
The harpy's voice deepened: "No need to discuss?"
"No need to discuss."
A big knife struck in front of the two of them in the blink of an eye, and the harpy said angrily: "He's just a sinister villain, blocking our way, seeking death!"
Huang Si rested his left hand on the ground and held Li Jianguo under his body with his right arm. He sideways dodged a powerful and heavy chop, then flew up with a kick and hit the opponent's chin. The kick immediately made the opponent dizzy and flew backwards. When he went out, the weapon in his hand hit the ground with a clang.
The ghosts were silent.
The harpy struggled to get up from the ground and touched his chin to avoid kicking his beak: "Good boy."
He looked at the two people in the circle again, waved gently, and Yun Danfeng said softly:
"Fire arrows."
The rain of arrows that blocked the sky... did not appear.
The ghosts did not make any movement, and the ghosts seemed to be whispering dissatisfiedly.
After a while, a ghost shouted: "No, who are you? Why should we listen to you? They all came with the Soul Killing Order, how can you be so trustworthy?"
The harpy said angrily: "I am the captain of the first team of the Soaring Eagle Hall! Don't we, the Soaring Eagle Hall, know about you ungrateful people?"
"roll!"
"I'm the wild boar king in the west of Fengdu City, what are you calling, you silly Captain X!"
"What bullshit!"
"Only a fool listens to this kid!"
Li Jianguo suddenly felt confident.
I bet these people are not the same group of people!
Li Jianguo then quietly said to Huang Si: "It seems that they are not united. We can just wait until they kill each other and sneak out again!"
"Yeah," Huang Si replied in a low voice, "There's a chance!"
Just after he finished muttering, he saw the harpy raising his wings high, making gestures to appease everyone, and shouted loudly: "Everyone! Everyone! You saw that I was kicked just now. This little man is not a good person! I Suggest, how about we kill both of them first, and then we can kill each other for the bounty?"
There was another whisper among the ghosts, and soon the voices started to sound again:
"Let's do it!"
"That's pretty much it!"
"Let me state in advance that we did not do this because of your words, we did it ourselves!"
"Of course, of course, we will definitely kill you scum in the future," the harpy nodded frequently, and then politely suggested: "Then let's shoot arrows first?"
"All right."
"OK."
"Very good."
Wow.
Was the temporary front established so quickly?
Li Jianguo didn't even turn around, but a sharp arrow had already shot out of the air and hit him directly in the head.
Huang Si concentrated his concentration, shouted loudly, and cut the flying feathers in the air into two pieces with one swing of his knife. Then he threw the big knife up, kicked the handle again, and kicked the big knife straight out. The big knife flew several meters away. , instantly hit an archer who was holding a bow and arrow, and the huge impact directly pushed the kid's body to fly backwards, and then embedded itself in the body of a demon ghost behind him before falling heavily.
There was no time to breathe, just for a moment, arrows were flying down from all directions.
Huang Si took out two short blades from his cuffs and danced the sword like a flower. The sound of flying arrows breaking through the air came and went, but it stopped suddenly when he encountered Huang Si. Li Jianguo only heard the trembling sound of swords and arrows hitting each other next to him, and the cracking sound of arrow handles. Not long after, broken arrows were everywhere around him. .
The flying arrows continued, but no arrows could pass through the 360-degree shooting!
Li Jianguo looked at the little man in front of him in shock!
What is the origin of this Huang Si...?
After a shower of arrows, the ghosts discovered that Huang Si had not turned into a hedgehog, and was even almost unscathed. The remaining arrows formed a small circle around the two of them, looking like a small arrow mound.
The harpy hurriedly shouted: "Are you ready for the second round of arrow rain? Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows! Hurry up..."
It was the sound of a flying knife piercing the throat.
Huang Si's figure suddenly grew a lot bigger. Looking closely, Huang Si opened his black robe like a blooming peacock, and countless bright spots shone dazzlingly under the robe.
Every bright spot is a flying knife, shining like a blazing peacock feather under the sunlight.
Finally someone recognized Huang Si’s identity.
"This is Ming Gu! Ming Gu!"
The people in the front row were finally lucky enough to get a close look at the appearance of the legendary Ming Gu, as well as their fighting postures.
It can only be seen at a glance, and the opportunity for a second glance is gone.
Not everyone who reaches Hades can enjoy worship in the underworld.
Some people did not receive sufficient sacrifices because they had no relatives or special status.
If you can't even afford a bowl of Mengpo soup, then how these ghosts leave the underworld and enter reincarnation is a problem.
Fortunately, every family has a reserve fund to prepare for emergencies.
But there are always families who are extravagant.
Fortunately, Hades also provides a large number of jobs where you can work hard and get rich.
But there are always visitors who don't want to pay.
Fortunately, there are eighteen hells next to Hades, which provide the suffering of flesh and blood.
But there are always souls that are too innocent.
Fortunately...fortunately, Hades still has a backup plan, which the world calls "Minggu".
"The Minggu Project" is aimed at a group of orphans who died in the world of the dead. They came to the underworld, ignorant and helpless. Even if the underworld provides them with certain sacrifices, they still don't have the ability to go through all the processes of reincarnation.
A long time ago, these orphans were almost all lonely ghosts, no one cared about them, and they often wandered in the underworld for hundreds of years, still unable to re-enter reincarnation. There were even some orphans living in the world of the dead and being refined into components of some alchemists' evil spells.
After Zhenguan, when Fang Xuanling traveled to the underworld, he couldn't bear to see the embarrassment of these orphans, so he persuaded the underworld to establish the "Minggu Project".
To put it simply, Hades funds the adoption of these orphans and raises them to adults.
Accordingly, the orphans need to undergo the hell training of Hades during the adoption process, and they will also need to serve Hades in the future. Their training place is not within Fengdu, but at the Mingyuan Academy on the bank of Jiuyou.
The Mingyuan Academy takes in close to six to seven hundred orphans each year, but there are less than ten graduates who graduate from the Mingyuan every year.
The outstanding ones who have successfully walked out of the abyss are Ming Gu.
Although few people know Minggu, most residents of the underworld know the legends and stories of Minggu. In the previous two battles between Minggu, Minggu played an important role on the battlefield and were the most feared troops in the demon world. one.
Of course, the more well-known thing is Ming Gu's emblem: a dagger inserted into an inverted triangle.
But for some unknown reason, decades ago, the Underworld Academy was completely closed, and those famous underworld orphans also lost all news from the underworld.
Some people speculate that maybe after the victory, Ming Gu was completely liquidated by the underworld; others speculated that Ming Gu might have become famous and reincarnated with enough military exploits.
But everyone has ignored another possibility...
Is it possible that all the people who knew Ming Gu’s identity were eliminated?
It is indeed possible.
And this is very likely.
For some, the possibility is already a certainty.
Without exception, these people all had a shiny knife growing out of their heads.
The flying knives slanted out from Huang Si's body like a heavy rain, swallowing everyone in the encirclement like a giant wave.
Like a rolling stone crashing into a calm lake, the ripples created by the flying knives spread out quickly, killing or injuring those affected.
No matter what famous names they had before, the twenty or thirty evil ghosts in the innermost circle can now be collectively named as unlucky ghosts. Moreover, the screams and howls they made before their souls died were indeed much louder than their names in the underworld.
Other evil spirits who were slightly luckier either found a suitable bunker or found a suitable body to use them to resist the attacks of flying knives.
But those evil spirits who find suitable bodies are not so lucky, because they forget that they are already ghosts. The "body" of a ghost after death should actually be called a spirit body, which will turn into three souls and seven souls and fall apart.
So without exception they also became hedgehogs.
Until the last flying knife was shot, Huang Si stood on the spot and looked around. The spirits of many unlucky ghosts turned into dark ghost energy and dispersed. Outside them, there were thirty or forty people quietly coming from behind the bunker. He stuck his head out.
Huang Si threw the knife in his left hand to Li Jianguo under him, and sighed: "My lord, I have to say that the thirty-tael bounty is still too little... If you can't use force now, you are almost a burden. I We can't leave you even half a step now, otherwise we will be consumed here sooner or later. If something happens to me, you can use this knife to defend yourself, and maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."
Li Jianguo squatted on the ground, holding the handle of the knife with both hands, and tried hard to pick up Huang Si's knife with all his strength. He gritted his teeth and his veins popped out, and finally raised the handle to half the height of his toes.
Wow...is it so heavy?
Not to mention self-defense, thank God if I can lift it without cutting off half of my foot.
Seeing several more little demons trying to pick up bows and arrows, Li Jianguo quickly said with concern: "Give it a try, Huang Si! Leave me alone, or else..."
"okay!"
There is reason to suspect that Huang Si was waiting for this sentence. Because Huang Si shot out like a shooting star in the blink of an eye, the explosive wind under his feet instantly sent billowing smoke and dust into the air, and the dagger in his right hand pierced the throat of an evil ghost a few meters away, killing the evil ghost instantly.
At the moment when the evil ghost flew away, Huang Si used the evil ghost's chest as a pedal, stepped hard, jumped up among the ghosts, swooped down at an incredible angle, and cut off the opponent's bow handle with one knife , the blade went down along the arm, and the entire arm was cut off in an instant. With just a slight lift of the wrist, there was an unhealable wound on the opponent's throat. Before he could fall down, Huang Si had already cut off another one. The evil ghost's legs didn't even have time to hear the other party's cry.
The wails among the ghosts were mixed with the overflowing souls, which sputtered and dissipated like pimples being squeezed out one by one on the face of an adolescent boy.
One after another, like an e-sports master playing Lianliankan in a relaxed and freehand way.
Li Jianguo stared dumbfoundedly at Huang Si, who jumped up from time to time among the enemy.
Bloody and violent.
The temples are stained with blood, and the sword cuts ruthlessly.
This is not the Huang Si that Li Jianguo knew before.
Yes, the body and clothes are still Huang Si, but that look...
Li Jianguo remembered that Huang Si's eyes before seemed to be wrapped in a layer of oil stains, just like his own. You couldn't see clearly what was under this layer of oil stains.
Li Jianguo previously thought that underneath the oil stains was nothing more than some unsightly filth and evil.
Now he knew that there was a killing machine buried under this layer of oil stains, a killing machine that shone with a cold light.
At least at this moment, in Huang Si's eyes, there was only fierce bleeding and burning sword light.
However, the war situation is still not very optimistic. More and more ghosts gather from all over and join the battlefield.
At this time, there was no light in Li Jianguo's eyes.
Because he had a sack over his head.
There were also whispers from several imps outside the sack:
"While Ming Gu doesn't pay attention to this place, we quickly drag this kid away. If he doesn't pay attention, we will kill him! If he does, this is our hostage!"
Li Jianguo felt a little suffocated. Maybe it was not a good idea to let Huang Si go to kill the enemy just now.
The only thing Li Jianguo can think of doing now is to panic.
So he did it, and not only that, he also performed beyond his level, and now he is... very panicked.
Li Jianguo stretched out his hand hard and tried to open the sack on his head. But no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break away from the hands holding him down.
Huang Si also caught a glimpse of Li Jianguo's experience in the gap between the sword light and blood shadow. He turned around and blocked the heavy blow of the person beside him, kicked the opponent's knife handle, kicked hard with his toes, and flew towards Li Jianguo like a cannonball. go!
Several more people stood in front of Huang Si and slashed at Huang Si's door with their swords.
Huang Si had no choice but to hold up his knife to block it. Looking at Li Jianguo's back being dragged away, Huang Si shouted loudly:
"Master Li! I can't get through it! Even if your strength is only one ten thousandth, use it!"
Nonsense, if I really had power, wouldn’t I use it? I like being covered by a sack? Is the sack hoodie fashionable?
Li Jianguo's fingers locked tightly on the opponent's wrist, and he couldn't move it at all. Li Jianguo was so angry that he made fists with both hands and hit the wrist hard.
There was another electric shock-like feeling.
The hands that were holding his body seemed to have lost their strength in an instant. Li Jianguo's body lost support and he fell heavily backward to the ground.
There were several thick sounds coming from outside the sack.
Li Jianguo stood up and the sack on his head was taken off.
In front of him was a man covered in bloodstains. His appearance could be vaguely distinguished from the bloodstains.
It was Huang Si, Huang Si, who was panting and breathing unevenly.
Li Jianguo looked around.
The surrounding smoke and dust have not completely dissipated, and under the thick smoke, several figures who have fallen to the ground can be vaguely seen.
When the smoke dissipated, the land within a radius of thirty meters was scorched black. There was no one standing around, everyone fell to the ground slumped, a few spirits began to lose their souls, and black smoke billowed.
Huang Si threw the sack aside, supported his knees with both hands, and said while breathing hard:
"Sir, is this...one ten thousandth of your power?"
Me...my power?
The Lord in the darkness sneezed. To be precise, I shuddered.
Soon it will be the customary reporting time for subordinates, but there is no need to report now, and His Holiness can guess the progress of the matter to some extent.
Forget it, don’t think about them now.
He brushed his left and right sides, stood up from the dimly lit hall, walked slowly towards the roof.
On the roof, he was surrounded by the howling wind. The air on the roof was very refreshing, lacking a lot of the smell of sweat and ridicule at the bottom.
He opened his hand and let the cold wind flow around his palm like a pet, greeting each other as if they had been close friends for many years.
Looking through the buildings at his feet, he seemed to see that long-ago city, free and flamboyant.
But now, the entire city of Fengdu is like cockroaches and ants inhabiting the sewers, forcing people to invent new methods of pest control.
Not to mention, Fengdu...he doesn't have sewers yet!
Disgusting! Disgusting!
This city should have been demolished and rebuilt a long time ago!
There's still a little time left...
Sacrifices are necessary, of course, but they are a small price to pay for freedom.
If it weren't for Li Jianguo... everything would have fallen into place.
Li Jianguo... couldn't he confront him head-on?
In this case……
The Venerable gently twisted his hair with his hands, as if stroking the wind, then slowly turned around and returned to Fengdu City, which was immersed in the shadows.
