The burnt smell before the fireworks dissipated still lingered in the air, which was the reason why the blood and filth had not been burned away.
Mu Qing breathed in the disgusting air and listened to Cao Jin's begging for mercy without stopping the movements of his hands. After Cao Jin struggled to no avail, he became heartbroken and said with a sneer: "It turns out we are all from the same journey. You are also waiting for everyone on the ground to die, right?"
Mu Qing's eyes became more and more serious, but the movements of his hands slowed down. Cao Jin was excited and continued to smile coldly: "After all, you are Lin Xiao's son. These people have lived a prosperous life under Bai Hu for more than ten years. You must want them all to die."
Cao Jin's pair of snow-white eyebrows trembled slightly as he spoke, and he was confused at first: "Well, then why did you bother to block the flames from those ants on the ground just now? To win people's hearts? After all, you also want to be the city lord."
Cao Jin felt that the power of luck in his body no longer rushed towards the big hand on his shoulder. He became more and more sure of his guess and whispered: "Young man, if the truth is to get rid of Bai Hao and win people's hearts, why not How about we make a deal?”
"Why do I want to be the city lord?" Mu Qing's tired face showed some traces of sincere doubts. He exerted slight pressure on his fingers and began to use the Qi-eating method on Cao Jin again. Cao Jing felt anxious and asked: "At this time Why are you so pretentious? If you delay any longer, Bai Hao's chances of success are far greater than you think."
Mu Qing's eyes moved slightly. Just now, he used two purple energy swords to hit Bai Hao directly, almost splitting half of Bai Hao's shoulders. However, Bai Hao's Dao domain played a big role at the critical moment. Let Bai Hao finally hide and hide.
Mu Qing understood that as long as Bai Hao was given a chance to breathe and a steady stream of blood was replenished, most of his injuries would be recovered, so Mu Qing had a very clear purpose in targeting Cao Jin at this time.
"How to stop the blood energy from flowing to Bai Hao?" He looked at Cao Jin, dissatisfied with the speed of his hands. Cao Jin's power of luck for so many years was lost by half in the blink of an eye.
But for Cao Jin, being treated like this by Mu Qing, but being able to communicate with Mu Qing, is really a big enough risk and big enough opportunity.
So after figuring out the reality of his current situation as a fish, his old face showed a bit of flattery for the first time, and he quickly replied: "Once the body of Shura is refined, it will naturally absorb and gather blood. .”
Mu Qing was not satisfied with Cao Jin's answer. When he saw Cao Jin's eyes falling on his hands, he stopped again and warned: "You only have one chance."
Cao Jin hurriedly said: "But no matter what kind of cultivation method, it will be limited by his own state and realm. His current strength is at the peak of the extraordinary level, but because he was injured by you a few times in the past, his blood energy source, so although he has no control over the blood energy, The absorption and gathering ability is very strong, but the refining ability has not improved, but has declined somewhat. The way to deal with him is to have multiple people working together to continuously consume his original blood."
Although Cao Jin told the details of Bai Hao's Shura body cultivation, it was still something Mu Qing and others had speculated before, so his expression did not soften and he said in a serious voice: "What I want to know is how to stop these things. The blood flows there.”
As he spoke, Mu Qing looked towards the fire curtain. After the huge impact just now, the green fire curtain across the sky and earth seemed a little thinner, but the disgusting bloody burnt smell in the air became stronger. many.
Cao Jin raised his snow-white eyebrows and looked at Mu Qing in surprise. His eyes pointed Mu Qing to look at the ground, "You have been focusing on Bai Hao. Don't you know that as long as blood energy is generated, it will naturally be affected by the blood demon's body?" With his inspiration, even if a formation master comes here at this time, he can only set up a large formation in Chao Xi's House to isolate the blood energy from flowing towards Bai Hao."
"The only way, there is always only one, is to prevent blood energy from being produced."
Mu Qing's face was twitching. He and Bai Hao were fighting fiercely inside the fire curtain just now. The situation outside was still in the scene where Xing Fei and others led the guards to retreat. At this time, he heard the burning and killing that gradually became clearer. The sound actually froze in the air.
Cao Jin carefully observed Mu Qing's expression, feeling a little ridiculed and contemptuous in his heart, and said with an extremely serious face: "There are nearly 200,000 people in the inner city of Suzaku, plus the specially transferred city defense troops and personal guards, there are only thirty Ten thousand people, if these 300,000 people spontaneously rebel, who can stop it, or who wants to stop it? Everyone just wants to protect themselves, and our family is the same."
Mu Qing looked at the ground. Among the piled building ruins, a breath rose into the sky. The direction was exactly in this direction. It was indeed the white tiger that had been overturned by the shock wave just now.
He saw that Mu Qing had captured Cao Jin and stopped in mid-air not far away, without moving forward or leaving.
Mu Qing's eyes fell on Cao Jin's face again, and he asked with seriousness and urgency: "The Blood Sacrifice Array requires the blood power of more than 100,000 people to open. In addition to Bai Hao's plans for the city defense army, he did not even follow these common people. Let it go?"
"Hmph. These moles... these people are protecting themselves. Shouldn't you blame yourself for having other thoughts?" Cao Jin withdrew his eyes from Bai Hu, feeling a hint of regret in his heart. He actually had a chance to escape just now, but as a result Just because he was coveting the method of sucking in Mu Qing's hands, he completely cut off any unnecessary escape routes.
So his tone at this time became more cautious, going straight to the core of what Mu Qing wanted: "Geshan must be in contact with you, right?"
"If Bai Hao's Nether Flame Formation, which he has been preparing for many days, can directly engulf the city defense army, then he has indeed completed the accumulation of blood energy started by the Blood Sacrifice Formation in one step."
Cao Jin's eyes wandered around the inner city for a while, and suddenly realized that with the spread of the fire curtain, they could now clearly see the outlines of the buildings in Yanfufang with the naked eye. However, under the sunlight at noon, the white and gilded white towers in the past could not be seen clearly. The top has fallen to the ground.
He said with some meaning: "Destroying the base of the White Pagoda Temple does not actually destroy the Nether Flame Array. It only destroys the spread of the Nether Flame Fire. In the past, the edge of the Nether Flame Array was right at the White Pagoda Temple."
"That's why you said it was all in vain?" A gloomy voice sounded.
Mu Qing glanced at Bai Hu, who moved his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Destroying the White Pagoda Temple only saves the city defense troops, or those who were affected by the fire of the netherworld, but the key to the problem is..."
Bai Hao looked at Mu Qing, "It's the 300,000 people in this city, it's the blood they can provide."
"That's right. I didn't expect that you would always focus on one place for such a simple thing." Cao Jin smiled bitterly and said: "Bai Hao only needs enough blood. As for the Nether Flame Formation, there is chaos in this city. No matter what, it’s just a means. If you don’t have the ability to kill him for the time being, the best way is to let this person get away as far as you can.”
Mu Qing followed Cao Jin's gaze to the ground and frowned.
As soon as the aftermath of the battle subsided, someone immediately took up arms and rushed out to do some scandalous things.
Because this place is close to the line of fire, the ordinary people who know that they are unable to resist the power of heaven have already consciously ran around. The people who can still appear on the land under Mu Qing at this time are all those who have used their own force. People have done nothing less than kill and plunder.
Even these people, instead of intercepting the powerful and wealthy people who were escorted by their servants, focused on the solitary fleeing people.
The complicated human heart, under the great fear of facing death at the next moment, is like a runaway horse on the battlefield and begins to spread uncontrollably towards boundless madness.
Just now, he was still worried that these people would suffer the consequences of the battle between him and Bai Hao, but now he saw with his own eyes these people who survived because of him. After becoming more frightened, he began to attack the weaker ones with his butcher knife.
Mu Qing was filled with confusion, suddenly thought of a question, looked at Cao Jin suddenly and said: "It's not enough! Even this level is not enough."
As soon as Mu Qing finished speaking, a huge exclamation suddenly erupted from a collapsed workshop not far away. Countless yellow and white objects trembled to the ground along with one of the walls. Under the skylight, they shimmered. The jewels are so precious that few of those who entered in a panic could pretend to turn a blind eye and continue to flee.
The chaos escalated to a new level under Mu Qing's eyes.
Cao Jin's expression was a little complicated, and his eyes frequently glanced at the fire curtain. Bai Hao should have noticed that he was caught at this time... Unfortunately, he made a mistake now, and there is no room for maneuver.
"You people in Hidden Valley should understand Bai Hao's style of dealing with things better than we do. He was so tolerant a while ago, but now he deliberately provokes you to enter the inner city. Isn't this an obvious invitation for you to jump into the pit? "
Cao Jin had no reason to think that he himself was also trapped in the quagmire of Suzaku City, and now he was in a situation where it was difficult to protect himself. He sighed: "It's just that this is the weirdness of the world. Everyone has weaknesses, and everyone has no choice but to... "
"Don't talk nonsense!" Although Mu Qing stopped grabbing the power of luck, his hand was still firmly holding Cao Jin's shoulder, and he frowned and said: "I obtained some of Bai Hao's power through the method of breathing. What do you think, he has been waiting for the Nether Flame Formation to be destroyed? What is going on? "
A trace of surprise flashed across Cao Jin's eyes. He vaguely guessed something in his heart, but his face showed some extremely real doubts. He shook his head and said: "The Nether Flame Array has been arranged by the predecessors since the establishment of Suzaku City. If it really exists, What secrets are there, I’m afraid only the city lords of the past dynasties can know.”
Cao Jin looked at Mu Qing and saw that the eyes in Mu Qing's eyes were coming and going. He was obviously getting closer to a certain answer. He coughed lightly and said: "The time for half a stick of incense has passed. Bai Hao has this endless supply of With the help of blood energy, I’m afraid he’s almost recovered.”
Mu Qing raised his face and met Cao Jin's eyes, and said solemnly: "What do you want?"
Cao Jin's old face suddenly tightened, and he lowered his voice and said solemnly: "Our family only needs your Qi-eating method, and other things can be forgotten. We can even recommend you to be the city lord in front of the emperor."
Cao Jin is worthy of being an old guy who has been in the deep palace forever. At this time, he did not forget to alienate the relationship between Mu Qing and Hidden Valley. When he raised his head and looked at the white tiger not far away, the white tiger was also looking at this side with an indifferent expression. .
Mu Qing shook his head slowly and said: "You must help me destroy Bai Hao's blood sacrifice formation, otherwise there is no need to discuss anything."
There was a moment of hesitation on Cao Jin's face, and he felt two qi energy locking onto his body at the same time, and then he suddenly woke up. Taking advantage of Mu Qing's uneasy mind to bargain was already the best opportunity for him. If he hesitated again, he might be dead, so he hurriedly said : "Our family can only speculate that the chaos in the city will allow Bai Hao to gain more than 20,000 blood power, and the rest..."
"It's the magma that spews out from the ground once the Nether Flame Formation loses its original function..."
Cao Jin looked at Mu Qing, who was suddenly stunned, and said word by word: "In ancient times, Youyan Province was a large group of volcanoes. Even now, the fire vein in the core of the earth under Suzaku City is actually a dormant volcano. "
