When Gu Shengchao secretly used the darts on Tuoba Peak, he had secretly used the "Iron Arm Magic" skill, and a layer of pale golden armor condensed on the surface of his skin to protect his whole body.
Instead of retreating, he advanced and slashed at Tuoba Feng's neck with his sword.
Tuoba Feng broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that this was the Ancient Sage Super's strategy of losing both sides. He managed to dodge when there was no chance, and stood aside waiting for the opponent's dart to fall.
"Dang, Dang, Dang..."
A crisp sound sounded, and the darts struck Gu Shengchao one after another, bounced off, and landed one after another.
"This is impossible!"
Tuoba Feng was stunned with shock. The enemy couldn't allow him to think about it, so he waved his folding fan and attacked again.
The folding fan looks thin, but is sharp in use.
It folds like a dagger and opens like a machete. Especially the sharp blades on the fan head can release several of them inadvertently, making it difficult for people to guard against it. All unfolded and protected on the chest, it is also a small shield. It can be used to advance, attack, retreat or defend. You can use it as you like.
Fortunately, the ancient sage had the "Iron Arm Magic" to protect his body, so he could just swing his sword forward to kill without fear of the sneak attack from the opponent's darts.
After dozens more moves, Tuoba Feng gradually fell into a disadvantage.
He pressed his folding fan against the ancient sage's super sword and panted, "I just forgot that a friend of yours asked me to send you a message."
"Who?" Gu Shengchao couldn't think of anyone else who could interact with them at the same time.
"Look." To show his sincerity, Tuoba Feng took a step back and unfolded the folding fan to reveal the picture on it.
The two of them were fighting each other, and the folding fan sometimes opened and sometimes folded. Gu Shengchao could only vaguely see that there were patterns on it, but he had no chance to appreciate what they were.
He glanced at it briefly and saw that it was just an ordinary landscape painting. Surrounded by green mountains in the distance and splashing waterfalls nearby, three words are written on the right side of the fan: Look here.
Looking in the direction of the words, there seemed to be a person hiding in the bushes nearby, waving to him.
The figure was painted a bit small, as if he had seen it before. He looked at it intently, as if he had stepped into the landscape painting on the fan.
Suddenly, everything in front of him disappeared, as if he had entered the ethereal void. There was nothing but himself.
"Oops!"
Gu Shengchao finally woke up and fell into the opponent's trap.
He turned around and wanted to go back, but no matter which direction he ran, it was always in vain.
Completely lost in this desolate void.
He waved the sword randomly, but couldn't touch anything. He kept stabbing at his feet, only slow yellow sand.
"ah--"
He shouted helplessly, and there was no echo in the endless void.
Gu Shengchao was trapped and about to collapse. Tuoba Peak was also in a dilemma and was about to be unable to hold on.
The Xiaoyao Fan can steal people's souls and absorb other people's true energy for their own use. It stands to reason that as long as it goes in, there is no chance of survival.
However, the Ancient Sage Chao is now protected by the iron arm magical power. He cannot sense the surrounding situation, and Tuoba Feng cannot absorb his true energy, and has to expend internal energy to maintain this formation.
Tuoba Feng had never encountered such a setback. He pushed the folding fan with all his strength, and hot air came out of his head, and he could no longer hold on.
Although King Zhennan had no martial arts skills, he was well-informed. He quietly grabbed his wife and rushed out of the door.
"Bang!"
Tuoba Feng raised his foot and kicked the table away, pushing it against the door. The couple was so frightened that they retreated back to the corner.
In despair, the ancient sage saw a flower in front of his eyes and found himself in a large garden without knowing it.
It's hot and it feels like a furnace roasting.
His whole body was wrapped in soft armor, and the heat was unbearable. He had to withdraw his iron arm magic first, and let the breeze blow to cool his face.
In his daze, Wan Yanxi's figure seemed to appear in the distance, waving to him: "Come on, come after me!"
Gu Shengchao observed the surroundings and chased after him. There was a cliff in front of him, and Wan Yanxi ran straight towards it.
"don't want!"
Gu Shengchao put away his sword and tried to catch Wan Yanxi, but he missed. Everything in front of him disappeared instantly and he fell down.
Falling endlessly, it seems to be still somewhere. You can't see or hear anything in front of you. You can't even feel whether you are floating in mid-air or standing in place.
The only thing he could feel was that his true energy kept leaving his body, leaking out like crazy without his control.
The ancient sage inadvertently absorbed the pure spiritual fetus, and his inner strength was strong, but it was still limited after all. There would always be a time when it would be exhausted, and by then he would be a useless person.
In his anxiety, he had an idea and thought of the "Five Soul Array" taught to him by Lu Chuan.
Without any further hesitation at the moment, five small swords flew out from Dantian and hung in the air, surrounded by the five-soul formation.
In an instant, the true energy was trapped and no longer lost. The lost true energy hovered around the outside of the Five Soul Formation for a long time, returning to the Ancient Sage's Super Dantian bit by bit.
As the Five Soul Formation continues to expand outwards, more and more Qi returns, and Gu Shengchao's side becomes more and more real.
First, you can see the neat floor of the hall, slowly spreading outwards, the folding fan hanging above your head, and the pale face of Tuoba Feng opposite, which is distorted by exertion.
Gu Shengchao smiled faintly at him.
Tuoba Feng's severely deformed face became more ferocious due to fear.
"boom!"
Gu Shengchao took a few steps back and found that he was back in the main hall.
Tuoba Feng, who was opposite him, fell to the ground in despair. He struggled to get up and spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his clothes red.
"Get him." Seeing that the winner was decided, King Zhennan immediately regained his dignity and pointed at Tuoba Peak to give the order.
"Don't even think about it." Tuoba Feng's folding fan whipped up and slashed at Gu Shengchao. He turned around and rushed out through the broken window lattice.
Gu Shengchao and Wan Yanxi have been together for a long time, and they have long learned how to deal with the spinning weapons in the air. He summoned the sword, pointed the tip of the sword accurately at the rotating center of the folding fan, and used the force to shake it gently.
"puff!"
The sharp blade on the edge of the folding fan pierced the wall and could no longer move. Gu Shengchao chased him out of the window.
Tuoba Feng had run away a long time ago. Ancient Sage Chao escaped from death and was unwilling to let him go. He thought of the magical effect of the "Five Soul Array" and used the power of the Five Elements to chase after him.
I saw his figure changing from real to virtual, with afterimages crossing the night sky.
Chasing, chasing, Gu Shengchao suddenly couldn't find him.
It was clearly right in front of me just now!
As soon as he turned around, Tuoba Feng rushed towards him in a panic and couldn't stop walking.
"Pfft!"
Tuoba Feng's chest happened to hit the ancient sage Chao's raised sword, and the sword blade passed through his chest.
"you……"
Tuoba Feng was unwilling to give in and pointed at Gu Shengchao and slowly fell backwards.
"There's an assassin!"
"Catch the assassin!"
"The assassin is here!"
King Zhennan's soldiers finally heard the commotion and came from all around with weapons in hand, trapping Gu Shengchao in the middle.
Gu Shengchao shook off the blood on the sword and put it away, and said loudly: "The assassin has been killed. Go and protect King Zhennan."
Everyone was confused and looked at each other hesitantly, not knowing what to do.
"Meet the King of Zhennan!"
The team quickly separated. Except for a few people who were still guarding Gu Shengchao, the rest saluted.
"Everyone, get up and let me take a look." King Zhennan walked closer and confirmed that it was Tuoba Feng lying on the ground. Then he said, "Cut off his head and find a place to bury it."
He pointed at the crowd and cursed: "A bunch of bastards, all of you couldn't see each other when I needed you just now. The real assassin was caught, but he got energetic and pretended in front of me. This is the real hero. You pointed your knife at me." Whatever you did, please apologize quickly."
"sorry."
"Heroes forgive me."
"You can't see the mountain with your eyes, so you're polite."
No one dared to listen to what King Zhennan said, and they all bowed to Gu Shengchao to apologize, and Gu Shengchao returned the salute one by one.
Someone dragged Tuoba Feng's body away from King Zhennan, and then cut off his head with a knife to prevent blood from splattering on King Zhennan.
King Zhennan confirmed that Tuoba Feng was dead and returned to the main hall surrounded by people. Others escorted his wife back to the backyard to rest.
The Xiaoyao fan was still stuck on the wall. Gu Shengchao took it out and put it in his arms. Such artifacts should never fall into the wrong hands, and should be kept safely by oneself.
After everyone had finished packing, they all saw King Zhennan wave his hand gently and stepped back to wait outside. Only King Zhennan and Gu Shengchao were left in the hall.
"Please sit down and drink tea." King Zhennan used the word "please" and poured tea for Gu Shengchao himself, giving him enough face.
Gu Shengchao became cautious at this moment, sitting sideways on his chair not knowing what to say.
"Is Qianhui safe now?" King Zhennan asked.
Gu Shengchao smiled and said: "Everything is fine, please rest assured, Your Majesty, you can see her at any time."
"Oh?" King Zhennan was stunned for a moment and then understood, "You hid her in the palace?"
"It can't be considered hiding. Miss Qianhui slept in her original room without being disturbed. I was also captured by the prince and had no place to stay, so I had to sleep in the palace temporarily. I heard people talking about it at night, lest it would be detrimental to Miss Qianhui. I just came here to inquire about the news, and unfortunately what happened just now happened." Gu Shengchao did not dare to hide anything and told the truth.
King Zhennan looked up to the sky and laughed: "Interesting, is it an unlucky coincidence or a coincidence?"
Gu Shengchao also smiled: "It must be a coincidence."
"Did you hear what my wife, I, and the generals said just now?" King Zhennan returned to the topic.
Gu Shengchao nodded: "I heard it all. I admire you for holding back the burden."
King Zhennan stared at Gu Shengchao and said, "If it were you, what would you do?"
Gu Shengchao shook his head: "The warrior below does not understand these strategies. I only know that this place is far away from the capital. Even if I send someone to hurry up and re-deliver the message, I am afraid it will be too late."
The King of Zhennan sighed: "Fortunately, the Prime Minister and I have an agreement with each other. The letters between us have special markings that outsiders cannot learn. What I'm worried about is that the Prime Minister has been standing still when he saw the fake letters. It should be that he is also tied up there. , this matter is not easy to handle.”
"King Zhennan, please give me your orders if you need me, and I'm willing to help." This incident affects the whole body, and Gu Shengchao cannot stand idly by.
King Zhennan praised: "This is the best. I will issue a document to lift the arrest soon, and you can go back to sleep peacefully tonight."
"That girl named Fang Ju and Miss Qian Hui are sisters. I hope the prince will be punished lightly." Gu Shengchao was worried about her.
King Zhennan smiled and said: "Qian Hui has suffered a lot. As long as she can be happy, the past unhappiness can be forgotten."
"Your Majesty is wise."
The ancient sage was so flattered that the King of Zhennan was happy, so he justifiably obeyed and left the main entrance of the palace, and returned to the inn in a swaggering manner.
