Liu Zhiyong is from Baiyang County, Fengwu County, Yingzhou. It is adjacent to Qiao County, where Gu Xifeng has been before. The distance from Kaiyuan City is not too far, but at the speed of a carriage, it normally takes five or six days. Time to arrive.
The old prime minister is getting older, and his body cannot bear the long-distance running. He needs to rest after walking for about half a day. If he stops and goes, the time required will be much longer.
Not long after the Liu family's homecoming convoy set off, a group of people set off from Qingyantang in Kaiyuan City and chased the convoy in the direction. When they were about to catch up with the convoy, the master of Qingyantang chose another route to go around. Leaving the team behind.
Everyone in the Seven Kills Battalion hid in the darkness not far from the convoy. Huang Xin and Gu Xifeng didn't know when they got into the carriage that was placed alone to salute, and they were very relaxed.
From Kaiyuan City to Fengwu County, you need to pass through a canyon called Hongyan Canyon. It is named after the red mountain walls on both sides. The mountains here are steep, the valleys are long, the cliffs are like knives, the rocks are like walls, and the trees are deep. .
There is a river between the canyon and the official road running hand in hand. The river is fast and the waves are rumbling like thunder passing through the stream.
The terrain is so dangerous and it is easy to set up an ambush. If it were not located in the hinterland of Yingzhou, it would definitely be a battleground for military strategists.
This place is not suitable for living within a radius of dozens of miles. Except for the occasional travelers and horses passing by in the canyon, there are few human traces.
After three days of trekking, the Liu family's convoy returning home had approached the Hongyan Canyon. Huang Xin gently opened the curtain of the carport and took a look outside. He lowered his voice and said seriously to Gu Xifeng: "Xifeng, there is Hongyan in front of you. The rock canyon is here. If someone wants to harm the old prime minister, this is the first choice. Adjust your status."
"Master, the old prime minister has retired and returned to his hometown, do you still want to kill them all?" Gu Xifeng whispered in confusion.
"Based on my understanding of Emperor Taichu, the old prime minister's outspoken remonstrance offended the emperor to death. Li Boqian was a narrow-minded man who was determined to retaliate. When the prime minister was in court, he would still have scruples. Now, if he wants revenge, he only needs to marry As long as the trouble lies with the bandits and bandits, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care at all about the doubts from the government and the public."
Huang Xin took out the rouge tears and wiped it gently. When he talked about Emperor Taichu, his tone was not awe-inspiring. From the look on his face, he looked down upon this emperor.
"Now the Qinghe Kingdom is fighting fiercely with the Taichu Dynasty. If the emperor takes action, will he send Qinghe masters?" Gu Xifeng also gently opened a corner of the curtain and looked outside. The Red Rock Canyon was already in front of him, and he could vaguely see the red color. Colorful rock wall.
"It is very possible that the old prime minister has good relations with our Xinghe Sect. Li Boqian naturally knows this. He will definitely be on guard against the Xinghe Sect. In order to prevent the enemy from being alerted, it will definitely be a sure-kill move. These peace masters will become the best choose."
"It is said that Qinghe's so-called god masters are extremely good at the art of controlling spirits. They can separate the soul from the body and then use secret techniques to create the shikigami they say they control. Such methods are simply against the will of heaven. Zephyr, do you know what this means?”
When Huang Xin talked about Qinghe's art of controlling spirits, his expression was both disgusting and solemn.
"It means that if you fall into the hands of the Qinghe people, your soul will be controlled by them forever, and you will not be able to survive or die." Gu Xifeng shuddered as he thought.
He also thought about whether the souls of his father and others had been taken away by the Qinghe people when Jin'an was destroyed and others died in battle. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become worried, and his murderous intention towards the Qinghe people increased sharply.
"That's right, if there really is a fight later, we must go all out. Don't hold back on these Qinghe people and kill them as soon as possible!" Huang Xin said seriously.
At this time, the rouge tears had been wiped clean and put back into his sleeves. He raised his head and his eyes gradually became fiery, and he said excitedly: "Come on, let me learn Qinghe's methods today."
"Come on, if I really find out that my father's souls have been taken away by Qinghe, I will never spare Qinghe and these bastards." Gu Xifeng thought to himself, with a determined look.
"Let's go, it's time to arrive. The visibility here is too poor. Let's be ready to take action when we go out." After Huang Xin said this, he transformed into a car and left the carriage at high speed, with Gu Xifeng following closely behind.
The driver of this carriage only felt a breeze blowing behind him. When he looked back, he saw that the curtain was shaking slightly, but when he lifted the curtain, there was nothing unusual.
"Shikigami: Cimu!"
"Shikigami: Drunk Maniac!"
"Shikigami: Eclipse Moon!"
Three different chants came from the rock walls of the Red Rock Canyon. These Qinghe people could naturally sing in their own unique language, but for some unknown reason, they chose the Central Plains language.
Three huge figures descended from the sky. They seemed real and illusory, as if they were spirits.
A one-armed man wearing Qinghe armor used his only hand to send out a ball of black flames and hit the convoy. Huang Xin floated up and Rouge Tears exuded powerful energy and cut the black flames in two.
Another shirtless man held a huge wine gourd. He raised his head and drank the glimmering wine in the gourd. He swung the gourd and swung it towards Huang Xin, who was held by Huang Xin with one hand.
The last person was dressed in white, with two huge wings on his back, and held a Qinghe round fan in his hand. I saw him flapping his wings and flying into the air. The fluttering wings created a large-scale storm and rolled towards the convoy. The carriage was unable to escape. It was either overturned or crashed into a mountain wall.
Huang Xin secretly thought that he was not good at it. He activated Hundred Flowers Killing and transformed into countless figures to attack the three giant shikigami. The shikigami were huge and not good at evading. Naturally, they could not avoid Huang Xin's attack. Huang Xin's attack almost hit every one of them. , there was a trace of white air rising from the place where the shikigami's body was attacked by Rouge Tears.
At this time, the three giant shikigami shrank at the same time and retreated. Three Seiwa people came from the end of the road and stood together with the three shikigami.
Bang bang, a burst of applause came, and the person applauding was the handsome middle-aged man standing in the middle of the three.
"If I'm not wrong, you should be Huang Xin of the Xinghe Sect. Your strength is really impressive. You are the head of the Qingyan Hall, Longyan Division. These two are the enshrinements of the Qingyan Hall, Kirigaku Kiyono and Rashoemon."
The people who came were none other than the Qingyantang men who were sent by Emperor Taichu to intercept and kill Liu Zhiyong's family. Longyansi went straight to the point and reported his family status.
I don't know whether they were confident in keeping Huang Xin or had other plans. They did not hide their identities at all.
"You are the so-called Qinghe Royal Masters. If you don't serve His Majesty the Emperor in the palace, what are you doing in this Grand Canyon?" Huang Xin looked at several people and said disdainfully. When he mentioned the word "serve", he emphasized his tone and his eyes. Frivolous, implying that the people of Qinghe were in such a situation because they sold women's sex.
"Huang Xinjun, our Qinghe Kingdom has now formed an alliance with Taichu. It is naturally our duty to solve your majesty's problems. Since you are standing here, you should be able to guess what we are doing, so why ask clearly." Longyan Si Qianhe said with a smile.
"Huang Xinjun is offended, Cimu, go!" Longyan Si's gentle smile turned into a cold smile, and the spirit named Cimu behind him rushed towards Huang Xin. The other two spirits also rushed over, but Long Yansi and the others did not attack Huang Xin, but watched the battle between one man and three shikigami from a distance.
"Come together, don't leave anyone alive!" As Long Yansi shouted, dozens of people came from all directions.
In order to prevent the battle from affecting the Liu family, Huang Xin slowly took the three shikigami away from the distance, and at the same time shouted loudly: "I leave this place to you!"
Gu Xifeng naturally knew that these words were meant for him. At this moment, he was rescuing people. Although the storm that the winged spirit body had just summoned was interrupted by Huang Xin and the power it inspired was not great, it had no impact on ordinary people in the carriage. The damage to people is not small. In just this moment, the Liu family was more or less injured.
Members of the Seven Kills Battalion and the Dark Star Organization hiding in the dark have also appeared at this moment, either participating in the rescue or on guard.
"Shikigami: Yukihime!"
"Shikigami: Dog Spirit!"
"Shikigami: Giant Ghost!"
…
Following a burst of chanting, more than ten spirit bodies appeared. These spirits were much weaker than the shikigami summoned by the three of Long Yansi. The three major shikigami all had the strength of the master level, and the strength of these shikigami They are all below the master level.
The most powerful among them is the small figure floating in the air like a ghost. This shikigami is dressed in a weird long dress, barefoot, and has a pale blue skin. She looks beautiful and innocent, but there is no trace of life on her face. In Gu Xifeng's opinion, his strength has reached the level of a little master.
It's just that this shikigami and a Qinghe woman who was 78% similar to her when she grew up never took action and just watched the battle silently.
The dog-like shikigami should not be underestimated either. It was huge, much larger than the overturned carriages. After they appeared, three masters from the Seven Kills Battalion immediately stepped forward to stop the shikigami. The shikigami's path is to fight with it.
The god in the form of a dog is called the Dog Spirit. It looks very scary and ferocious. It opens its huge mouth and leaks fangs. It rushes towards the three masters. The three of them duck away and go around behind the Dog Spirit. The most powerful among them is a thin middle-aged man, who is probably in the middle to late stage of improvement.
After walking around behind the dog spirit, the middle-aged man jumped up with a saber and slashed at Quan Ling's head. The blade left a long wound on the dog spirit's head. The dog spirit roared in pain, and at the same time, a wave of energy was triggered on its body. A ball of green flame, the flame seems to have self-awareness, heading straight towards the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man only felt a wave of cold air coming towards him. Yes, the flames that appeared on the dog spirit were not hot, but filled with chills. The middle-aged man did not dare to touch it head-on, so he could only retreat backwards, but the flames He had no intention of letting him go. Just when he thought he had escaped and breathed a sigh of relief, the flames were already approaching.
"Senior Brother Fan, be careful!" The young man who was slightly weaker than him saw that something was not good, and accelerated forward and knocked the middle-aged man aside. The middle-aged man was saved, but the young man's body was attached to the green flames, and the young man let out a shrill cry, The whole person seemed to be crazy and kept rolling on the ground.
After a while, the green flame disappeared, and the young man stopped moving. The middle-aged man stepped forward to check with a heavy face. He found that the young man was completely lifeless, but there was no trace of being burned on his appearance.
The middle-aged Yisheng roared and rushed towards the dog spirit again. Just now, when the young man was burned by the flames, two more people rushed up. Otherwise, this place would be in danger. The four people's pincer attack barely tied the fight with the dog spirit.
If the appearance of the dog spirit is just terrifying, then the shikigami called the giant ghost is disgusting.
Its body is larger than the three major shikigami in the Grandmaster realm, and it is the largest existence in the canyon. Although it is a spirit body, there is almost no complete skin on the whole body, and there are ulcers and pustules everywhere, and it leaks from the body from time to time. The disgusting pus dripped onto the ground and emitted wisps of white smoke.
The giant ghost exuded a disgusting rotten smell. The three masters of the Seven Kills Battalion who besieged it could only tear off strips of cloth and block their noses. However, they found that blocking their noses was useless. They could only endure the smell. Qi bravely attacked the giant ghost.
