"Boom...boom...!!"
A dense explosion sounded over Xingcheng. Houses and courtyards in many locations in the business district were instantly turned into ashes. As soon as the explosion went away, people near the explosion swarmed out, holding pots and buckets. Jogging to fetch water from a nearby well, he put out fires and people.
This is Xingcheng.
A peaceful city that has not been affected by war for hundreds of years.
The battle in the sky is still going on, but it is getting farther and farther. The battle on the ground has not stopped, but it has spread from the long street of the commercial district where the war started, and scattered into the dark streets and alleys. Various corners that cannot be illuminated by the moonlight may be illuminated by the brilliant sword light at any time.
This is a night destined to be restless.
In the sky are streaks of light and shadow flying with swords, and on the ground are men in black dodging and escaping.
No one can sleep.
At the end of a dark alleyway in the west of the city, not far from Lijun Courtyard, suddenly, a short and thin old man dressed as a servant appeared there, as if he had stepped out of nothingness, looking strange and magical.
But what happened next did not continue this magic. The short and thin old man took one step and stuck to the backlit wall of the alley like a civet cat. He held his breath and turned his head. When he saw no one around, he suddenly relaxed. He took a deep breath, then lowered his head uncontrollably and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He quickly reached out and covered his mouth tightly, letting the blood flow out between his fingers, and then fell on the ground drop by drop. After breathing heavily for a while, he raised his head again and looked around, and once again confirmed that no one was there, he leaned against the corner and went to the ground. Walk deeper into the alley.
Soon, he arrived at an inconspicuous corner where garbage and excrement barrels were piled. He approached cautiously, and after confirming that no one was around, he walked to the corner, took out a wall tile that seemed strict but was actually frivolous, took out paper and pen from it, and quickly After writing a few words, I put the pen and paper back on the wall.
Just as he was about to escape into the darkness and leave, he suddenly made a secret with one hand, and a khaki light shot out from the sleeves of his robe, turning into a swimming fish and spinning around him. At the same time, he pinched the hand with his other hand. A talisman.
He stared at a thick willow tree not far away, lowered his voice and asked, "Who is...?"
Then, I saw a woman wearing a white gauze slowly walking out from behind the tree trunk, and my heart sank to the bottom, "It's you, you're back..."
"I just came back and you gave me a big gift." The person who came was naturally Qianxue. She came slowly and silently, but as if she was stepping on the heart of the short and thin old man with every step. , "This is the first time we have met? Jincheng courtyard, Lijun ancient road, official road pavilion," she stretched out four green jade fingers, "plus now, it should be the fourth time."
The short and thin old man watched Qianxue approaching step by step, his body bent like a taut bow, his eyes fixed on Qianxue, and he slowly backed away, "At this moment, the young prefect of Li County should be dying. Why don’t you go and see if you can still be saved?”
Qianxue looked sternly and stretched out a finger to point at the corner behind the short old man. "Don't retreat there any further, otherwise I won't give you the chance to leave your last words." She waved her sleeves and held a crystal clear handle. The flying sword with the breath of frost flew out and slowly hovered a few feet above the short man's head. "I heard from Chen Jingzhi that before Yan Qichen died, someone once escaped with his young son." Roucheng, that person is you, right?"
The short old man looked up at the flying sword hovering above his head. Just the aftermath of the aura on the flying sword made him understand that the power of the sword was not something he could match. At this time, he became more and more relaxed. He came down, put away his flying sword and talisman, straightened his back, looked directly at Qianxue who had stopped ten feet away in front of him, and sneered, "I have handed over the young master to Zhen Ge, where is he now? No one knows that even if you kill us all today, you still won’t find him.”
Qianxue reached out and removed the white gauze in front of her face, revealing a beautiful and cold face. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she stared at the short and thin old man and said, "You are Zhen Ge."
The short, thin old man smiled and even shrugged his shoulders, "Whatever you think, but you won't get what you want."
「
I can," Qianxue sneered, then turned around and disappeared into the darkness. Behind him, a crystal clear flying sword fell from the sky, directly piercing the chest of the short and thin old man who had already reached the end of his strength.
The short and thin old man fell to the ground, with a disdainful smile still on his face. Just a moment later, he was covered by a layer of frost, and then the whole thing was frozen in ice.
When a round light blue magic circle flashed on the ground where he was, his body and the huge ice cube were shattered into debris all over the ground. Qianxue, who had returned behind the thick willow tree, waved her sleeves. , a cool breeze blew up, blowing away the pile of waste.
Clear and traceless.
Qianxue closed her eyes and calmed down, preparing to wait here for a while, but suddenly she flew away and jumped onto the high wall of the courtyard. Behind her, the originally lush willow tree quickly withered and shrank. In an instant, the green leaves fell. All! !
Qianxue, who jumped onto the high wall, didn't even look back and didn't dare to stop, she just wanted to escape!
Instead of flying high into the sky and escaping with her sword, she fell into the alleyway again, twisting and turning with the movement of the buildings, like fallen leaves in the strong wind, without any pattern, and fled towards the direction where the sound of explosions was still heard in the distance!
Behind her, dots of green light were like the first green buds to appear on the wilderness in early spring, appearing and disappearing in the darkness. Apart from the withered and withered colors of summer, they did not seem to have any terrifying power.
With lightning speed.
Qianxue's whole body's power fluctuated wildly, and she passed death again and again, but she never used more of her demon body and demon power. She just ran away and chased her. When Qianxue finally approached the battlefield where the roar and explosions gradually weakened, behind her The mysterious man who chased her all the way stopped taking action.
Seems to be escaping.
Qianxue wielded her sword in the air for the first time. She looked back at the darkness along the way and couldn't see anything.
Suddenly, a green light flashed, and a young master with a high crown and a splendid robe and a face like a crown jade appeared next to her. It was Nanfeng. He stood in the sky, looked at the endless darkness above Xingcheng with Qianxue, and asked, " who is it?"
Qianxue pursed her lips slightly, "There's no chance to look back," she turned her head and asked, "Has the person who attacked Luochuan been caught?"
Nan Feng also had a cold look on his face. He lowered his head and looked at his gorgeous clothes with many holes in them, and said in a deep voice, "The aura of that man was very strange. He must have been seriously injured now and escaped..."
Qianxue also glanced at Nanfeng, and then whispered, "Luochuan was seriously injured, especially the man who left a strange mark on his wrist... I wonder if it could... .”
"No," Nanfeng said with certainty, "If he is the person mentioned in the prophecy, this small scene will not cause him any problems."
"But..." Qianxue looked at Lijun Courtyard with worry in her eyes, "Is he..."
Nan Feng was unable to answer her question.
No one could answer her question.
So she took out a piece of white gauze from her sleeves and covered her face.
It slightly concealed her beautiful face.
But I can't cover it up...!
Her unparalleled murderous intention...! !
