The place where Sukasa hides is very hidden.
He took the advantage of darkness to the extreme. The surrounding area of the high platform seemed to be brightly illuminated by the bonfire, but there were still narrow and dark dead corners.
The disciples at the Holy Lotus Altar repeated their chanting, and their raised hands were like a swaying jungle under the bonfire. In this scene of dancing demons intertwined with light and shadow, every step Su Li stepped on could be perfectly hidden until the edge of the blade appeared.
"boom."
With a loud bang, the temporary high platform collapsed.
The crowd panicked and fled in panic.
Mo Li's pupils shrank, and quickly realized that this was a trap. Master Luo was always sitting high on the stage, and none of the people from the Holy Lotus Altar went up.
The platform is very high, and there are no buildings on the four sides to take advantage of. Huaxian is a small place, and the highest residential buildings are only two floors.
The holy lotus altar specially emptied the eye-catching canopy for this "sacrifice to the sky", so that the congregants could directly see the stars in the night sky when they knelt down and worshipped. On the farther roof, the distance is not short. In order not to expose it early, Su Li could only step on the edge of the high platform at the end, suddenly exerting force and jumping straight up to stab a deadly blow.
This knife failed.
Because the place where Su Li borrowed his strength suddenly collapsed, and then several wooden boxes that served as steps nearby sizzled and exploded in an instant.
The force of the explosion was directed towards the mid-air, shrouding Su Kasa in it.
At a critical juncture, he suddenly curled up, protecting his head, chest and abdomen with his arms and legs.
The gunpowder in the trap is not too much, and Master Luo doesn't want to send himself to the sky with the congregation, so the real "death" is the trap that is buried in the trap and triggered together.
Those plum-blossom needles, thorns, and through-bone nails, accompanied by choking smoke and dust, directly covered the entire collapsed high platform.
All I could hear was a whizzing sound, the hidden weapon was ejected by the spring, and pushed by the qi force to the sky, slamming into each other indiscriminately, only to hear the mourning sound, the holy lotus altar cultists near the high platform collapsed.
These people are not soldiers against the army, they are all guys who are sparse in martial arts, but very eloquent. Most of them are people from Jianghu who come to cast the gods as kings. Later, they found that it is better to join the holy lotus altar to fool people than to join the holy lotus altar to fool people. , the status is still high.
They are very good at posing, and when they want to sacrifice to the sky, they have pulled out deceptive bells and whistles. The Tao is not like the Tao, and the monks are not like the monks. , can hardly see the face.
Of course, it is not a good idea to have only these characters who are not on the stage around the leader of the Holy Lotus Altar, so eight saintess and four guardians are arranged to support the scene.
Su Li spent a lot of time in the camp of the God-given King. He had seen the four guardians, and even knew the names and nicknames of the four. When he assassinated, he paid special attention to the direction. Four guardians can react.
- All kinds of things fall into the calculation.
It's easier to lay traps for clever killers than stupid ones.
Su Li just stepped onto the "good" position reserved for him by Master Luo.
"Hahaha!"
Master Luo burst into laughter and shouted in a proper manner, "Death to the demon!"
The soldiers against the army only heard the roar and screams, and ran away in shock.
"The monster has appeared!"
"Get out of the way!"
They pushed and shoved like headless flies, and were blocked back by the soldiers guarding the periphery.
The leader was the God-given King in a golden robe and a purple-gold mask.
The eyes behind the mask shone with a strange purple light, which was cold and deep. With a flick of their sleeves, those soldiers who were crowded and fled suddenly seemed to have encountered an invisible giant wave and were pushed to both sides involuntarily.
"King, Your Majesty?"
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and the incense master of the holy lotus altar said loudly: "Xingjun is here, the ordinary people are not kneeling down quickly."
Habits are faster than brains, and everyone crowded and knelt on the ground, suddenly realizing that there was danger here, and hurriedly rushing to show their loyalty.
"Xingjun, hurry up, the demon is here."
"Yeah, Xingjun wants to avoid doom..."
Several generals around the King of Heavenly Grant showed unspeakably distorted expressions.
—Although I usually think it’s good to pretend to be a ghost and fool the people to sacrifice their lives, and I don’t need to worry about the source of troops, I sometimes feel that they are a bunch of idiots, and the Holy Lotus Altar can deceive them with just a few words. Wait until the soldiers can be replaced.
The people from Pili Hall followed far behind.
Lei Xian, who looked like an elder, taught a lesson to his nephew of the Lei family: "Have you seen it? The old man suspected that the Heavenly Granted King he saw a few days ago was a substitute, and this is the real Heavenly Granted King. Martial arts are also not bad, really hidden."
It was none other than Zheng Tu who was wearing the purple-gold mask at the moment.
Unfortunately, Zheng Tu's martial arts skills were much higher than Lei Xian had guessed, and he heard this whisper.
Zheng Tu paused, and in his heart, he despised these people from Pili Tang by two points.
- The substitutes for the past two days are not very good, but the ones you met before were also puppets!
At best, that one is more pretentious, and is so clever that he and Master Luo are satisfied.
"If you don't dare to face the demon, how will you survive this disaster?" Zheng Tu suppressed his voice and made a majestic voice that was very different from usual.
This time no one dared to speak, and looked at the ruins of the high platform in fear.
The smoke rolled, and it was clear that there was a blood-red shadow in the fog that swept across and slanted at an extremely fast speed.
However, no matter how fast the shadow was, it was firmly trapped in that small area and could not escape.
"Master Luo has controlled the demon!"
The anti-military soldiers began to cheer, and fanaticism regained their sanity.
On the contrary, the people at the Holy Lotus Altar were afraid to look at each other and failed to shout out the words that bewitched the soldiers in time.
Looking at the disciples of the Holy Lotus Altar lying on the ground over there, I originally thought that it would be a beautiful job to follow the leader of Luo Shizi to sacrifice to heaven. Those who were not selected were a little annoyed, but they became victims in a blink of an eye. , a fool can see that this is a trap to catch a demon.
But in a blink of an eye, they were reassured. This is the doom that people with precious lives must experience. It is not their turn to die.
Even a wounded saint who was lying on the ground stopped struggling. She crawled to the side despite the pain, and was about to slowly pull out the hidden weapon that had been inserted into her body. Of course, being beaten into a sieve is unpleasant, but as long as she survives, being attacked by a demon can gild her identity.
The other surviving people also reacted and crawled around desperately, with a smile on their faces, smiling at others, as if it was a relief to see the demon appear, and it was worth dying for Xingjun.
"… "
Mo Li stared at all this, his heart slowly sinking.
Although he realized that Su Li was caught in a trap, Mo Li did not feel that this was an impossible task when the soldiers of the rebel army and the followers of the holy lotus altar fled in a hurry.
Then he realized he was wrong.
The enemy hidden in the dark, the enemy that Meng Qi and I have guessed several times is right in front of me!
The trap for the killer, the gesture to deter the fools, and even the false lie that sounds absurd when it really happens, but makes people willing to endure the pain and try to maintain it regardless of the loss of life...
If it is said that Qiu Si's means of playing tricks on people's hearts are subtle and clever, the King of Heaven is using rude and direct interests to subdue his subordinates.
However, the bait benefits given by the former are still real benefits. Even if they end up losing their lives, at least they can bite the meat, and the wonderful taste brought by the meat is not false. The latter is a white wolf with empty gloves, and those who fight for the benefit of that emptiness will lose everything.
This is by no means the long-term way to truly control subordinates and control forces.
Mo Li had never been so clearly aware of what Meng Qi meant when he said, "The king of heaven needs to defeat Jingzhou as quickly as possible and incorporate Jingzhou's forces".
Before Qiu Si died, he was going to give Jiangnan to the King of Heaven for ruin. Everyone, including him, was not optimistic that the King of Heaven could gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan, because this group of rabble could not last for a long time, and the locusts gathered because of the right time and place, and they were unrivaled. , but the cold wind will fall apart and disappear.
Wouldn't the King of Heaven be aware of this weakness
How does he want to complete the transformation
Taking Jingzhou is only the first step. How can we get rid of the bad reputation of looting Jiangnan and collaborating with cults in a short period of time
The so-called "no question of one's background" can only be achieved by fighting the forces of all parties. If this is the case, there are too many people who are not willing to sacrifice their lives for such bandits. Fools can be deceived, and if the God-given King wants to go further, it will not be so easy.
Mo Li's intuition told him that this answer was related to the true identity of the God-given King.
Mo Li tried his best to restrain himself, even though he saw the injured Su Li in a hard fight, and the masked King of Heavenly Grant appeared, but before he was sure that there was no other trap, the result of his rash action was to fall into the opponent's calculation completely.
When Mo Li's eyes swept across the rebel generals with different expressions for the third time, he suddenly found that there was one person missing.
What about Zheng Tu
At this time, the elder of Pili Hall provoked Zheng Tu's fault, and said arrogantly: "When such a big thing happened, how did General Zheng disappear?"
The King of Heavenly Grant glanced coldly to the left, and Zheng Tu's subordinate standing there suddenly cursed in secret, wishing to slap the old man Lei in the face.
"Our general was stationed outside the city before nightfall." Zheng Tu's personal soldiers bowed their heads and explained, "Not only General Zheng, but also several other generals of the gods and martial arts, the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky is important, and if you want to catch demons, you have to Be on guard against the Jingzhou army and the Jianghu assassins."
-Others are indeed patrolling, but Zheng Tu is speculating on the knife marks on the city wall, since yesterday.
I was also very fascinated by it, which was witnessed by many people, including the ink carp.
Mo Li did not dare to act for a long time, and it was also because he was on guard against Zheng Tu.
Mo Li held his breath and looked for places where people might be hiding. It was a simple matter, but because the gathered crowd interfered with Mo Li's judgment, Su Li was about to be unable to support it.
The explosion smashed Su Kasa's body protection infuriating, making him unable to shake off the hidden weapon.
At this moment, Su Li was covered in bruises and wounds. Even if he reacted in time and not a single hidden weapon hit the vital point, the countless small wounds on his limbs were unable to heal due to the infuriating surge of infuriating energy and the bleeding continued.
From a distance, it looks like a rolling demon blood shadow.
"wrong."
The ink carp suddenly woke up.
Zheng Tu didn't hide on the side, it was impossible for Zheng Tu to be more like a killer than Su Li, making the dragon veins invisible.
This is an unwarranted trap, and if you drag it on, it will really exist.
- Thunder Hall and the rebel army will form a heavy siege.
The ink carp pulled out the knife, and the energy unreservedly released instantly caused a strong wind to blow on the flat ground.
The people were pulled and dragged uncontrollably by the wind, screaming in panic,
They were only affected by the aftermath, and the King of Heaven saw this terrifying blow directly.
The scene in front of me was distorted and distorted, the bonfire was involved, and the air flow violently converged.
Driven by two blades, two very different air masses are formed, which rotate and collide.
Yin and yang are intertwined, just like the fierce yang, like the abyss.
As if from the sky to the earth, they all fell into the huge mouth of a fierce beast who could only see the face, spraying endless flames, followed by a dark and boundless throat hole. Once swallowed, it would be crushed to smithereens. .
The King of Heaven's Grant's expression changed suddenly, and he had no choice but to use all his strength to fight recklessly.
"…!!"
There was no sound, no loud noise.
Countless people fell to the ground and rolled in pain. They couldn't even tell what happened.
Those soldiers are okay, the more skilled the martial arts, the more violent the invisible sound wave shocks, all of which are red nose and mouth, and blood oozing from both eyes.
Mo Li staggered a step, holding onto the ground and barely standing upright.
He was pale, and the blow drained all his inner strength.
King Tianzhu's legs were completely sunk into the ground, his right arm was broken, his clothes and crown were all turned into powder, only the rags below his chest and abdomen were left, and his mask was shattered into pieces, turning into powder in an instant. His face was covered in blood, and he couldn't see his features at all. His upper body was like his face, and he looked like a half-blooded man.
Even so, the God-given King still managed to take a blow without taking a step back.
"...I didn't realize the knife marks in vain." King Tianzhu said through gritted teeth.
The blood gushing out of his teeth made him look even more terrifying.
"Who exactly are you?" Tianzhu Wang asked word by word.
Mo Li didn't answer, his trembling hand could barely hold the knife.
King Tianshou naturally saw the appearance of the two knives, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a slight movement.
The two fell into a stalemate. At this time, Master Luo, who was in the distance, was the first to recover. He pressed his aching head, rushed over, and slapped the top of Mo Li's head.
The ink carp, which seemed to be exhausted and unable to step on an ant, suddenly charged forward, not only dodging the palm, but also successfully grabbing the half-conscious swordsman, carrying it and rushing towards the city outside.
At first, the speed of the ink carp was not fast, but then the more the leader Luo chased, the farther and farther, he endured the headache and cursed to hell.
- There is no way, the dragon veins can be restored with aura.
Mo Li felt the smoother and smoother internal breath, and continuously shot several key points of Su Li to stop the bleeding. He kept his feet and exerted all his strength, as fast as a faint and vague shadow.
"I'm sorry..." the swordsman said drowsily, "it's all me... I have implicated Dr. Mo..."
The moment he was caught in the trap, Su Li wanted to slap himself a few times.
He lost too much blood, and his eyes were blurred. He didn't know what happened after that, but he fell down as soon as his eyes darkened.
Now that the wind is urgent, it is obvious that he is running for his life, Su Li struggled and whispered: "You don't need to worry about me..."
Mo Li wanted to be angry and wanted to laugh, and felt that Su Li was unlucky, so he couldn't help but say: "I'm fine, but I hit him straight and found out the identity of the God-given King."
The swordsman was taken aback.
Mo Li didn't give him a chance to speak again, and sealing the acupoints with one finger made him fall into a drowsiness to avoid aggravating the injury.
Looking back at the Huaxian city wall, which had become a big shadow of a slap, Mo Li, who had completely shaken off the leader Luo, had a solemn expression.
At the moment of the shot, Mo Li already knew that Zheng Tu was right in front of him, and the king of heaven was Zheng Tu.
- As a rebel, you want to change your body and change your background. The most common thing is to be incorporated by the court. Anyway, you surrender today and you can continue to rebel tomorrow.
And the inclusion of this kind of thing is usually the death of the bandit leader and the recruitment of the followers.
The God-given King was destined to "die" from the very beginning.
This is an identity that will be discarded. Who is best suited to the image of "talented" and "rebellious" under the command of the King of Heaven? Who can successfully take over all the elites after the death of King Tianshou
Only Zheng Tu.
When the dynasties and dynasties rebelled under the banner of crooked sects, the first leader usually did not end well. After the leader died, those who used their name to gather the remnants to fight the world in troubled times often had a hero who had the last laugh.
