The mysterious man dodged Jiang Xiao's attack as if he were joking. He then continued to stretch out his palms and hold them in the air, but Jiang Xiao's instinct reflected that something was wrong, so he turned around and ran away. Jing Yu fired a shot and flicked the mysterious man's finger away. Song Qian extended his sword and just cut off the finger.
There were many beads of sweat on Jing Yu's forehead. He stood up despite the great pain, limped to a shady place, and sat down on the spot. Ningqu noticed Jing Yu's injury and hurried over to heal him.
Song Qian's sword was aimed at the mysterious man's vital points, but the mysterious man dodged it. Then the mysterious man used a sand curtain to block Song Qian's sight. Song Qian held the sword in his backhand, and with a sliding shovel, he ducked behind the mysterious man and stabbed him.
Jing Yu was holding an iron sword beside him in preparation for Song Qian's ultimate move.
The mysterious man released the earth snake to interfere with Song Qian, and then he suspended in the air, directly clasping his fists with both hands, and slowly opened them.
The world suddenly dimmed, and the surrounding wind and sand swirled around the mysterious man.
Qiao Xu and Huang were responsible for throwing the iron sword to Song Qian. Song Qian stuck the iron sword on the ground and started chanting a spell.
The mysterious man directly created a tornado with his hands, pushed it with two palms, and the tornado bit everything around it and rushed towards several people. Song Qian also made sword fingers, raised all the iron swords on the ground, used himself as the formation eye, and used the sword formation.
"Wan Jian, return to the clan." Song Qian shouted loudly.
Countless iron swords merged into a stegosaurus, and began to entangle and collide with the tornado. Song Qian took this opportunity to sheath his sword and began to prepare his sword.
Qiao Xu rode Huang straight towards the mysterious man, intending to interrupt the mysterious man's spellcasting.
Jiang Xiao jumped directly over the tornado, held the simple knife in both hands, and slashed down.
The mysterious man released quicksand to block the trio's attack.
Song Qian's eyes burst out with light, and he slashed out with a sword. The energy of the sword was as powerful as heaven and earth, shattering the tornado and cutting off half of the mysterious man's body.
Chen Xueyun and Jing Yu used their escape talismans to lead everyone away from this place of right and wrong.
…
They came to Xianyi County, the last stop of the trip, to distribute the last batch of food.
Jing Yu looked at the empty city and the queues in front of the porridge shops. He sincerely lamented that the emperor was really nothing. He left the border towns alone and enjoyed himself in the capital.
Jiang Xiao locked himself in the room and refused to come out. With dull eyes, he silently packed up his brothers' escort uniforms, folded them and put them in his luggage.
Finally, he stood in front of the window and wiped the knife. Halfway through, the knife was already covered with big teardrops.
Jing Yu wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't say the words. The mysterious man was still not dead, but was still seriously injured and escaped. They couldn't fight against such a powerful man at a very high level.
Song Qian drank medicinal wine too frequently, and his Dantian was almost exhausted.
Jing Yu has learned 80% of the Spirit Gathering Technique, but now it can no longer meet his needs for improvement. At most, he can reach the fourth level of foundation building.
Two days later, everyone set off back to the capital.
The mysterious man returned to the Demon Kingdom and began to heal his wounds. His fierce gaze failed him so many times, causing him to lose all face in the clan.
…
Beside the round table, the shadow sneered: "He was cut off in half again, which is extremely ridiculous."
All the shadows burst into laughter after hearing the news.
A slender black figure mocked contemptuously: "There are no strong people in the demon country, they are just a bunch of losers. If we really want to rule the world, we have to rely on us."
In the capital city.
Everyone in Dingmingsi accepted the emperor's reward and received a large amount of jewelry, silver, and satin. Even a few people couldn't be happy.
The cities in the Western Region are basically in this barren situation. Do they have to rely on charity to survive?
Jiang Xiao was unwilling to give up. He quit his job in the escort agency and set up tombs for his brothers in the cemetery outside the city. Everyone paid homage in a heroic manner.
It was drizzling that day, and after setting up the tomb, he suddenly looked back, his eyes red and blurry.
The brothers waved to him in the rain.
Qiao Xu went back to her home for seclusion again, and this time she was expected to attack the fifth-level God Refiner.
Huang asked Jing Yu to learn the spirit gathering technique. As a powerful master of the demon clan, Gu Danqing's skills were of great benefit to any demon clan.
Jing Yu felt that he seemed to have a new skill budding, but he couldn't find a point to use it, so he could only shape the iron ball into a more sophisticated weapon.
Chen Xueyun has broken through to the fifth level of divine refining. He is about to pass through the heavenly tribulation. Now he is concentrating on studying Confucian classics. It is said that he has been able to read a bookshelf of books in one day.
"How should Ningqu's state be improved? Does she need to transform into the next form?" Jing Yu murmured to himself. One day he would go to Lin'an again and ask Ao Zheng.
Jiang Xiao joined Dingmingsi with a simple purpose: to kill the mysterious man with his own hands and avenge his brothers.
He went to express condolences to the families of the deceased in the past few days, and every one of them cried bitterly after receiving the news. This made Jiang Xiao feel like a knife and felt very guilty.
Jing Yu originally didn't want an innocent person to work in Dingming Division, but because of his strong desire for revenge, he had to make do with the job. Jiang Xiao's strength was not bad, but he was not suitable for the industry of slaying monsters.
Hot-blooded young people are always easily dazzled by hatred and lose their ability to judge things... Jing Yu thought in his heart that he was also a hot-blooded young man once upon a time, but it was the first time he stepped through this door.
The imperial court was not a vegetarian. They quickly sent imperial envoys and some troops to station in the Western Regions to encourage the local economy and agriculture to resume.
Ding Mingsi has played a role in clearing the way this time.
…
Gu Danqing invited Jing Yu to drink tea, and the two of them were speechless.
Jing Yu was the first to break the silence: "We have encountered a mysterious man many times. His spells are strange and powerful. Does Teacher Gu know this person?"
"I have an impression, but before I came to the capital, he was just an ordinary little monster." Gu Danqing raised his eyebrows.
"He is now close to the ninth level of Tongxuan. As expected, he will definitely break through within half a year." Jing Yu analyzed.
Gu Danqing patted the fish-eyed young man on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Jiu-level Tongxuan is not a piece of window paper that can be pierced as soon as it is said to be pierced."
"Then how can I improve my level?"
"Enlighten yourself." Gu Danqing saw Jing Yu finish drinking tea and waved his hand for Jing Yu to return to the first floor of the tower.
Jing Yu had no choice but to give up. When he returned to Dingming Division, he began to fall asleep without caring about what was happening outside.
The early summer wind made people feel a little hot. Qiao Xu sat in the middle of the yard of her home, staring at the blue sky in a daze. Chen Xueyun went back and forth between the academy and Dingming Division every day. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, and she began to change them more frequently.
Jing Yu was not in the mood to sleep in. In order to better suit his abilities, he specially found a blacksmith shop to learn blacksmithing and see if he could have an epiphany overnight.
Just when everything was going according to plan, the red-haired felon in the palace dungeon escaped again. (To be continued)
