The south gate of the inner city.
Blood energy was billowing in the air, and roars spread from it from time to time.
"boom--"
Another sword energy separated the blood energy, and a black shadow whizzed towards the ground.
People were terrified, but apart from pushing the people around them with all their strength, there was no way to escape.
After the Shura formation was destroyed, the monster's madness was completely aroused. During the period of fighting with Mu Qing and the others, the area near the south gate was full of people fleeing.
After the bloody monster was forced back by Mu Qing's sword, it finally remembered the business and released a continuous stream of black flames amidst the wails of the crowd.
The night melted, and the blood quickly evaporated amidst the sizzling sound.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of people were dead.
"snort."
A bronze sword fell from the sky and hit the center of the fire field. At the same time, the sword energy spread out instantly like ripples.
"Buzz——"
The flames and sword energy that were still spreading were intertwined, devouring each other during the collision.
The monster flew back into the air, looking at Mu Qing who was in full swing, and his voice became more and more resentful: "You are forcing me."
Mu Qing's face was indifferent. After seeing Murong Jing almost die with his own eyes, the murderous intention in his heart had almost reached its peak, and he appeared in front of the monster in a flash.
It seemed like he stabbed forward lightly, but in fact it was extremely fast. The monster was alert early in the morning, but a lot of the black flames were still cut away by the sword.
Mu Qing didn't wait for it to reintegrate, and with a slight stir of the Demon Suppressing Sword in his hand, he absorbed the black flame into the sword.
The monster was extremely angry in its heart. It watched Mu Qing become stronger and gain the upper hand little by little. Now that the Shura formation was broken again, it no longer had the superior mentality when facing Mu Qing.
Mu Qing planned to keep up his efforts and swept back with his sword, but the monster had already taken the initiative to escape.
It rushed high into the sky, billowing black flames dissolved in the spreading volcanic ash, frantically grabbing the blood rippling between the sky and the earth.
Mu Qing's eyes were solemn, and while shaking his wrist, continuous sword energy was poured into the volcanic ash, but with little effect.
Maybe it was the black flame that was 40% sealed by Mu Qing not long ago, but now it wants to leave as long as it suffers a little loss.
This is also what makes Mu Qing feel tricky, because he can't restrain the opponent's actions in a short period of time.
Just like at this moment, the monster rolled out a continuous stream of black flames in mid-air and was still mixed with the volcanic ash. Mu Qing was unable to locate the monster's body at all.
And after the monster captures a large amount of blood power, it can be replenished.
In a sense, when Mu Qing fights monsters, he is fighting everyone in the inner city.
He forced the monster too hard, and the people in the inner city seemed to die faster, but if he ignored it and waited for the monster to truly grow, then not only the people in the inner city, but the entire Suzaku City would be able to escape.
"Doesn't this kind of natural monster have any weaknesses?"
Mu Qing stood in mid-air, and while his blood was surging towards the monster, he was also quickly grabbing the power of blood from the world. Unknowingly, his control over the power of Shura seemed to be only one step away from being able to melt it. Connected.
"Black flame is a false power. If you want to completely gain the upper hand, you must master the power of chaos. After you understand Shura's true meaning, you can try to display it and seal it in the sword body and slowly refine it."
Mu Qing's frown never relaxed.
Although he himself feels that he is only one step away from realizing it, this is sometimes the case with spiritual practice. Sometimes he can reach the last step in one month, but it often takes a year or even ten years to complete the last step.
If you want to rely on understanding Shura's true meaning and then seal it, when will that happen?
He was now deliberately letting the anger in his heart ferment, but he still couldn't find that clear feeling.
"boom--"
The continuous sound of breaking through the air interrupted Mu Qing's contemplation.
His eyes quickly followed the direction of the whistling sound, and he was startled. Wings sprouted from his back, and he chased after him crazily.
"snort."
The monster's sneer came from mid-air.
It seemed to have seen the nervous expression on Mu Qing's face at this moment.
Because Qinglong had been to the attic, the monster easily found the locations of Huai Fenghua and Murong Jing among the countless houses in the outer city.
Its speed increased again and again, and when it approached the sky above the attic, it turned into a continuous sea of fire with a bang.
Perhaps it was due to the integration of many of Bai Hao's memories. After being repeatedly defeated in the hands of Mu Qing, the monster's way of thinking gradually moved closer to Bai Hao. Since it could not solve Mu Qing for the time being, it planned to attack the people Mu Qing cared about first.
"Run!"
Mu Qing's loud shout echoed in the air.
The night wind was dazzling in the air, and he could vaguely see the two familiar figures by the window in the distance. They seemed to have heard his voice, and they were standing by the window looking up into the sky.
But Mu Qing's voice may have caught up with the monster, but it was too late to stop the monster's actions.
I saw that the night sky above the attic seemed to be darker, and the sea of fire that covered the sky fell down in an instant.
The attic was engulfed in flames in an instant.
Mu Qing opened his mouth and opened his eyes as wide as possible, but could not see the two figures rushing out of the flames.
His mind went blank, and his heart skipped a beat at this moment.
After a while, most of the people in the outer city heard the cry: "Go to hell!"
A sword energy, scarlet and dazzling, was like a spark falling to the ground, lighting up half the city.
Mu Qingren followed the sword and rushed directly into the sea of fire.
Mu Qing quickly rushed out of the sea of fire amid a crackling sound of collapse.
The monster also transformed again and flew back to the sky.
"Damn, you're a fucking lunatic."
Half of the black flames were removed from the monster, and it cursed Mu Qing angrily. Mu Qing had just rushed into its body, and it planned to devour Mu Qing in one go, but in the end, it was filled with sword energy.
Are there really people in this world who don’t feel tired?
Even when it was tired from beating it, how could this man become more courageous as he fought?
Mu Qing completely ignored the monster's scolding and stood in the air, looking around in confusion.
They disappeared?
He rushed into the sea of fire and did not capture their aura. With Murong Jing's cultivation and strength, she would never be defeated by the black flame like ordinary people, right?
Mu Qing couldn't hold back his tumbling emotions. He dragged his sword with one hand and extended his sight into the long night ahead.
His expression gradually became lively. Not far ahead, there was the breath of the formation, and they were still there!
Mu Qing was excited and immediately rushed forward, but halfway through the flight, he was suddenly stopped.
He turned and looked for the monster.
The monster seemed to have directed all its anger at Mu Qing and those around him at the weak people, and it had already rushed to the ground.
It changed from its previous slow pace in the inner city. When it released the Dao Domain, it also released boundless flames. Not only people, but also many houses were reduced to ashes in a matter of seconds.
Mu Qing turned around and glanced back at the position before, and finally rushed towards the monster.
"Are you a dog? I'm going to bite you, Mr. Hei, today, right?"
Seeing Mu Qing charging towards him with a sword, the monster cursed and stood up from the ground, rushing towards the inner city.
At this moment, the sky above the inner city is still filled with a lot of blood energy. Compared with this side, the inner city is obviously more suitable for it to quickly restore its strength.
Seeing the monster rushing towards the inner city, Mu Qing subconsciously slowed down. When the monster flew back into the inner city, Mu Qing fell to the ground.
Somewhere in an alleyway, Mu Qing saw Huaifenghua and Murong Jing. They had not seen each other for a while, but they seemed to be much more beautiful and friendly.
Mu Qing strode forward.
As soon as he took the first step, his expression changed from eager and fearful to happy and excited.
Murong Jing looked at Mu Qing, her beautiful eyes flashing, and her red lips smiled: "Mu..."
Mu Qing almost rushed to Murong Jing, hugged her in his arms, and blocked her words in his chest.
Mu Qing gently touched Murong Jing's temples with the tip of her nose, and took a greedy breath: "It's so good!"
A little blush bloomed on the fair and delicate earlobes, and then spread to Murong Jing's entire face in an instant. Her face was originally extremely tired and pale, but now it was stained by this blush, and she was instantly beautiful.
She smelled the breath behind Mu Qing, and the words she had prepared were forgotten. It wasn't until she caught sight of Huaifenghua, who was pretending to be calm, from the corner of her eye that she pushed Mu Qing's chest with her hands. "No, let's get down to business."
This rare hug only lasted two or three breaths.
Mu Qing let go of Murong Jing in his arms, and smiled awkwardly at Huaifenghua, who seemed to have a strange look in her eyes: "Auntie."
"I didn't expect that monster to be a little afraid of you."
Huaifenghua stretched out her fingers to gently hold a wound on Mu Qing's clothes, and there were many sighs in her eyes.
Mu Qing frowned: "It's a pity that the monster can't be completely sealed."
Mu Qing glanced at Murong Jing's pale face and sighed inwardly. Maybe Murong Jing didn't react and Mu Qing came up to hug her directly, so he didn't hide his poor physical condition.
Mu Qing suppressed the worry in his heart, looked behind the two women, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Deacon Jiang."
The aura of the formation just now revealed that Jiang Shangxiu used the formation to transfer the two women at that critical moment. This was a huge favor, but Mu Qing was willing to owe it.
Jiang Shangxiu also couldn't hide his tiredness. He nodded towards Mu Qing: "I just happened to catch up. Now everyone is helping each other. It's too unreasonable to say thank you. If you can, just call me by my name."
Mu Qing understood that Jiang Shangxiu was taking the initiative to make friends, and he had no ill feelings toward Jiang Shangxiu. He chuckled and said, "Then I won't say thank you to Brother Jiang."
Jiang Shangxiu nodded slightly and turned slightly to reveal the person behind him, "I was about to miss Eunuch Cao, but he took the initiative to find me."
Cao Jin glanced at Jiang Shangxiu. He originally wanted to hide, but he was found by this person. However, at this time, this was considered a good deal for him, so he could only accept it, nodded and looked at Mu Qing.
But he didn't expect that Mu Qing's attitude would completely change after seeing him.
Mu Qing looked at Cao Jin coldly: "Why don't you come to me directly?"
Cao Jin didn't react for a moment. It wasn't until his eyes flickered to the pale Murong Jing that he understood the reason for Mu Qing's anger.
Cao Jin was about to explain a few words when a sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded in the alleyway. He was startled, but at the next moment he stretched out his arm and caught a jade slip that flew towards his door.
Cao Jin suppressed the excitement in his heart: "This is..."
Mu Qing said lightly: "This is the second half."
The second half of the breath-taking method!
Cao Jin felt excited and felt that Mu Qing was much more pleasing to the eye at this moment.
Although Mu Qing was angry that Cao Jin found Murong Jing and almost killed Murong Jing, but thinking about the situation at that time, he really couldn't blame the other party.
Mu Qing looked at the two women again: "The current situation is that I can't kill it, and it can't kill me. But this monster has a sound mind and has already set its sights on you."
Huaifenghua knew what Mu Qing was worried about, so she nodded and said, "Don't worry, Shaoyao and the others have already left Suzaku City with Mrs. Wang."
Although Mu Qing didn't know how they arranged the manpower, thinking about Wang Yeqing, he felt inexplicably more at ease. He shook the sword in his hand, turned around to leave, and took a deep look at Murong Jing: "You must not be brave anymore. Yes, you and your aunt will leave here immediately."
Murong Jing was helpless. In her eyes, it was Mu Qing who had been showing off his strength, but this was not the time to talk about this. After seeing the methods used by monsters to kill ordinary people, she also desperately wanted to end it all as soon as possible, so she had no choice but to Di pursed his lips, looked at Mu Qing with clear eyes and nodded.
"You came to me specifically, so you didn't want me to be here without any help, right?"
Cao Jin looked at Murong Jing, who was as gentle as a housewife in front of Mu Qing, but what came to his mind was the white fireworks that illuminated the whole city not long ago. He felt a chill for no reason and hurriedly said something.
Murong Jing's slender eyebrows moved slightly and she looked at Cao Jin: "If your method works, we can discuss any secret techniques you want."
Cao Jin was naturally moved and looked at Mu Qing.
Mu Qing always felt that his things belonged to his woman, so he nodded as a matter of course.
Cao Jin chuckled: "In fact, the original Emperor Wu Zong was also possessed by the devil. He probably nourished the blood with a relatively pure power, so he was far less violent than this one today."
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows.
Cao Jin quickly got to the point: "In ancient books, it is often said that monsters are born from illusions, but after the incident with Wuzong, there were more descriptions in the Bai family's arsenal. Monsters may also have roots, which are the minds of monks during their lifetimes." Where the devil is, just like this monster now, many of his characteristics can actually be linked to Bai Hao, and for this reason, the monster's shortcomings may be found from Bai Hao."
Seeing Mu Qing's thoughtful expression, Cao Jin's voice became more coherent: "I have never fought against monsters, and my understanding of Bai Hao is actually far inferior to yours. Perhaps you are the one who is most likely to be able to discover the shortcomings of monsters. people."
"In addition, although the Shura formation is broken, the blood energy and death energy between heaven and earth will still continue to intertwine and converge towards the center."
Cao Jin looked toward the inner city, a complex look flashed through his old eyes, and he said quietly: "The inner city has become a veritable purgatory. If the monster follows its instinct, it will probably move closer to the center."
Mu Qing's heart moved, and he subconsciously glanced at the two women beside him. He just pushed too hard, making the monster want to take revenge on the people close to him. However, if he could seriously hurt the monster again, maybe it would be what Cao Jin expected. of this situation.
Mu Qing's mood calmed down a lot, and he looked at Cao Jin who was looking at him eagerly, and said thoughtfully: "You know the most about the Shura Formation. You can help the Guards maintain order. I will give you a thunder method when the time comes. "
"No, I want to practice the magic of Yuanshen."
Cao Jin blurted out subconsciously.
Mu Qing looked at Cao Jin thoughtfully. Perhaps because of his special physique, he noticed that the two women around Mu Qing had much stronger mental powers than the monks in the same realm.
Mu Qing did not agree immediately, but replied: "Then it depends on your performance."
Cao Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry."
Before leaving, Mu Qing looked at the two women again. He had already said it many times, but now he subconsciously said again: "You must be careful!"
