Under the Chan Chan altar, the cold wind blew past the golden banners around the gate tower. Empress Wu suddenly stepped back a few steps amidst the clash of weapons, and sternly shouted: "Bold! Who dares to search for me?!"
——The sound was like an explosion on the ground, and the dozens of hidden door warriors around were all shocked.
"No... dare not offend the queen." He Lanminzhi looked directly at the majestic and majestic phoenix eyes of Empress Wu, forcing herself not to lose her momentum: "But if the queen is open-minded, there is really no hidden weapon. Stretch out from the sleeve, can't you prove yourself?"
Empress Wu sneered: "If you want me to prove myself, then prove myself. Who are you?"
He Lanmin was at a loss for words, staring at Empress Wu's hand hidden in the cuff of the palace dress, unable to speak.
"You take refuge in Yin Kaiyang..." The queen said coldly, "It means you completely abandon the Wu family and the Helan family, and become a dog of the secret door from now on. If you fight with your back like this, what should you do if you are abandoned by the secret door again in the future?" ?”
"..."
"Yin Kaiyang didn't hesitate to kick you back to Helan's house back then, but now you're sticking it up. Do you really think that a person like you who abandons his family can end up with any good?!"
The queen's words were like knives, merciless, as if she had slapped He Lanmin's face heavily, making even his lips tremble slightly.
"Master Helan," said one of the secret warriors.
The voice seemed to be some kind of warning and reminder. Minzhi was jittery, hatred slowly emerged in his eyes, and when he returned to Empress Wu, he actually gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, don't mention any family to me... Back then you sent me to the secret door as a hostage I used it as a bond to ease the relationship with Yin Kaiyang, why did I ever think about my safety? How did I ever think about a trace of blood and blood?!"
Empress Wu frowned.
"When Mrs. Wei Guo entered the palace, the empress promised not only to never make things difficult, but also to take good care of her. How is it now? On the day my mother had a difficult labor, the empress held Ah Ren in her arms and swore to her before the delivery bed that she would treat the sixth prince as her own. Come to raise, what now?!"
In so many years, it was the first time that someone presented the sixth prince's life experience in front of the empress so nakedly and without any cover.
Weeping over the dark clouds, passing through the layers of honor guards and guards under the gatehouse, holding the cold moisture, passing by the surrounding spears and halberds.
He Lanmin pointed at Empress Wu and roared angrily: "—Come on, take it down!"
The secret door warrior stepped forward in response, Empress Wu instantly clenched the cold needle in her palm, and said "Stop!" Before she could say it, she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye.
She turned her head in astonishment, and under the vast sky, a vigorous figure rose from the ground, drew her sword out of its sheath amidst the crowd shouting "There is an assassin!" The incoming arrows were cut off in one fell swoop!
With a loud slap, the man stepped on the tower, without saying a word, turned his wrist and threw the long sword.
—Long Yuan spun in the sky and drew an arc of light. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he swept past the queen and chopped several halberds down his waist into pig iron pieces.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang - snatch!
Long Yuan sank deeply into the mottled stone wall at the other end of the gatehouse, only the hilt of the sword remained outside, trembling unceasingly!
Empress Wu looked at the person coming, her chest heaved violently, and after a while she whispered in disbelief, "Chao... Shan Chao?"
·
A stick of incense time ago.
The dragon slowly lowered its head from the sky, revealing a neck covered with huge scales and long beards fluttering in all directions in the strong wind.
Shan Chao exerted his strength to nail the ground under his feet with Longyuan, and stared at the ever-changing phantom of the green dragon in the clouds in amazement: "This... what is it, the legendary Kaiyin?"
Xie Yun smiled, but did not explain.
I don't know why at this moment his face doesn't look like a living person anymore. If you observe carefully, you will find that under his paper-transparent skin, there are very faint black air and spots faintly emerging.
It was as if a dead soul from another world was revived from his body roaring.
Xie Yun said calmly: "I can't hold on for a long time, half an hour is the limit. There must have been a change at the Chan Chan altar, we must first break the puppet technique that Yin Kaiyang cast on the emperor..."
On the front of the mountain a few miles away, the emperor ascended the altar to offer sacrifices, and all the officials shouted long live on the mountain. Dark clouds were rolling rapidly from over there, wrapped in a faint blue light, and gathered layer upon layer above their heads.
Shan Chao took a deep breath of the cold moisture, and couldn't help thinking of the kiss that Empress Wu had imprinted on Xie Yun's eyebrows late that night, and the arrow that flew across the desert towards him in his memory, and then he remembered the categorical sentence: "It doesn't matter No matter what happens, I won't help you..."
The disappointment and resentment that was piercing that day surged into Shan Chao's heart again, but it was no longer aimed at the person in front of him who tried to put him to death several times, but towards himself.
——In the end, I still couldn't help but shot with all my strength, my weak self.
And the self who can't make the person he loves get what he wants even though he tries his best!
Shan Chao's Adam's apple slid violently, pulled out Qixing Longyuan, and said in a low voice: "This is for you, Tai Ah has already cracked..."
However, Xie Yun pushed his hand back and said, "No need, your side is more dangerous."
The touch of his fingers was cold and delicate. Shan Chao turned his head suddenly, his heart was beating, but he couldn't speak. He only heard Xie Yun say: "You promise me one thing. After piercing the golden needle into the brain of the Holy Spirit, you will stay in the Jiangchan Altar." Serve the queen on the altar to sacrifice to the ground, and don't come back again. If I die here in this battle, Jinxin will hand over the Wanguan family property of the commanding mansion to you to inherit; Entering Chang'an..."
Xie Yun stopped suddenly, stretched out his hand after a while, and stroked Shan Chaoying's handsome side cheek with his fingertips, wiping away the half-dried blood that was splashed on when Xuanwu's foot was cut off just now.
It was as if he had wiped away the wind, sand and sweat from his apprentice's face, and as if earlier, when the young Xie Yun bowed down, he picked up the bruised child from the slave owner's tent and carried him on his back.
"Go," Xie Yun said.
"...I admire it," Yin Kaiyang watched Shan Chao leave the battlefield, knowing that he couldn't stop him, so he didn't stop him at all, smiling and applauding: "The matter of your exile in Mobei back then, couldn't it be deliberately designed?"
Xie Yun didn't answer.
"How much of a celestial master's effort have you exhausted to calculate the location of Ziwei Nova? How much painstaking calculations do you have to spend before Ziwei Star can be controlled by you before it rises? -Grass Snake The gray line stretches for thousands of miles, Ah Yun, this kind of strategy is truly terrifying."
Xie Yun finally turned his head from the direction Shan Chao left, stood in front of the phantom of the indomitable giant dragon, raised the Tai'a sword against the wind, and slowly stroked the cracked ancient sword with his palm: "I'm ashamed, what you said I actually failed to do two things…”
Crazy tattoos flowed from the palm to Tai'a, and the sword body emitted a brilliant blue light, and it looked like new in an instant!
"Instead of threatening me with words, why not face the bigger crisis in front of us first," Xie Yun said with a mocking smile on his lips, "... Teacher."
The giant dragon hovered in the sea of clouds, and suddenly saw the young green dragon that had been disembowelled in the deep stream, and stopped.
The next moment, the giant dragon let out an extremely angry roar, roared down from the sky, and smashed Xuanwu straight out!
Ever since Qinglong singled out the entire Phoenix family with a sword in its back, the world has never seen such a magnificent and magnificent scene.
The female dragon bombed wildly all the way, dragging Xuanwu quickly in the mountain stream, and the tortoise shell was torn off and fell off in large pieces during the collision. Big trees broke down one after another.
The body of the giant dragon, which could not be seen at a glance, surged crazily, and the whole mountain stream roared and shook accordingly. Countless boulders rolled down under the impact, and then rubbed against the dragon scales violently, bursting into flames, and then exploded into powder without sound !
Fragments of Xuanwu's limbs and broken scales hung on the densely packed gravel that was as sharp as a knife's edge, winding into a long road with an incomparably stinky smell. Immediately afterwards, there was an extremely sharp and long howl at the end, accompanied by a chilling tearing sound—the female dragon pushed Xuanwu in front of the dangerous wall, and tore open its entire tortoise shell alive!
Yin Kaiyang vomited several mouthfuls of black blood before swinging his knife to block Xie Yun's sword coming through the air, and sighed: "It's tragic..."
Xie Yun's dark and green eyes reflected the horrors of the battlefield in the distance, and he said coldly: "Surrender, Master Yin, you are doomed."
However, Yin Kaiyang turned his wrist and drew the saber, and Xintinghou and Tai'ajian made several moves in the air in an instant, "Dang!" With a sound of choking, the killing intent rolled up a circular air flow and spread around: "Is that so? ? But your mother's anger has come out, how long can you hold on?"
Xie Yun frowned.
"Xuanwu has been severely injured by Ziweixing. If it is a real adult Cangqing Dragon Seal, it only takes one blow to completely tear Xuanwu into pieces, but what you summoned is just the afterimage of a dragon that last left in the world." Yin Kaiyang After a pause, he said: "This inheritance of dragon soul is a forbidden technique, and I have only seen it in ancient books... Before your mother died, she left a part of herself on you."
Xie Yun didn't answer.
Yin Kaiyang suddenly put his two fingers together, and tapped under Xie Yun's blue right eye: "—Is this the eyeball?"
Xie Yun withdrew his sword and drew back, a ray of blue light cast from the sea of clouds in the sky, condensed on the edge of the sword, made a dazzling flash, and then descended along the blade like a dragon.
With Tai Ajian as the center, a terrifying current several feet long winds in the air in an instant!
"Yes," Xie Yun said coldly in the cobweb-like majestic and tangled grid, "but before I fall, you must be the one who dies first."
He flipped his wrist brazenly, Tai'a roared out, turned into a dragon and rushed in front of Yin Kaiyang!
boom!
"Don't...don't cry..."
In the dark room, the woman's beautiful and cold fingers rubbed the little boy's face over and over again, her eyes were full of tenderness and nostalgia: "Don't cry, mom won't leave you, mom will always... always be with you..."
The little boy burst into tears, tears streaming down his face and falling onto the bed and the ground.
"Mom will not let you be trampled and bullied by others, and will not let you be coveted by this sinister world..."
"I won't let you leave your hometown and suffer hunger, hunger and cold all your life..."
The nails finally pierced the little boy's eyelids, expanding the eye sockets to the maximum, and gently gouging out the eyeballs. The little boy's intermittent crying was extremely sharp, but the woman held the still warm eyeball, gritted her teeth and did the same, gouged out her own right eye, and then pressed it into the child's eye socket in a pure blue light.
"... let mother's eyes look at you..."
Tears finally welled up from her stunningly beautiful eyes:
"Let me see your prosperity, prosperity, peace and joy..."
"Let me watch you ascend to the peak that the world will never reach..."
-boom!
The shock wave spiraled up rapidly, and then engulfed countless stones and burst out, completely crushing the surrounding weeds to the side in an instant.
The dust and smoke gradually dissipated, and I saw Xintinghou holding the Tai'a sword tightly, the point where the sword and the blade met trembled slightly under the terrible force, splashing out sparkling flames.
"Ah Yun..." Yin Kaiyang gasped for breath, leaning his back against the mountain wall, his voice was as soft as a whisper: "Your right eye is bleeding."
Xintinghou exerted all his strength, split the scorching air, and threw Tai'a sword arc out heavily!
·
—At the same moment, at the top of the gatehouse.
Shan Chao jumped from the top of the stone wall, landed, and stomped heavily on the ground with a bang, splashing dust from the soles of his feet. He was like a god of war who descended from the sky, facing all the hidden door warriors swarming up, he raised his hand and grabbed the neck of the front one, twisted it off, grabbed a round of the halberd, and instantly cleared a fan-shaped open space around him !
He Lanmin yelled frantically: "Catch him!"
Shan Chao shouted sharply: "Who dares to stop me?!"
There were innumerable loud bangs from the impact of metal, and Shan Chao single-handedly broke out of the siege, and several warriors were chopped off by him as soon as they met each other. Just as He Lanminzhi was about to yell, he jumped up, almost stepping on everyone's shoulders, and he was in front of him in an instant!
Empress Wu shouted, "Be careful!"
Shan Chao slashed with his backhand, and the steel halberd was like the wrench of death, splitting the samurai who was sneaking up behind him obliquely in half!
Flesh and flesh stumps soared into the sky, and half of a severed palm fell to the edge of Jinfeng's skirt. Empress Wu took a breath, but then she didn't even look at it, turned around and strode across the bloody battlefield, to the stone wall on the other side of the top floor, and pulled Qixing Longyuan out from the cracks in the bricks.
"Super!"
Shan Chao didn't even turn his head, and with a backhand, he instantly caught the hilt of Longyuan's sword that Empress Wu had thrown in the air.
——The coordination at that moment was simply exquisite, Shan Chao's left hand was horizontal, holding the three weapons that were cut down at the same time in front of him, and his right hand received the sword.
"Walk!"
Shan Chao retreated to Empress Wu, grabbed her by the arm, flew over tens of feet in the air like lightning, and landed at the bottom of the ninety-nine-floor white marble steps leading to the Zen altar.
Not far behind He Lanmin's hissing roar, the secret warrior rushed forward; Shan Chao nodded slightly, but he didn't even glance at the queen: "I'm sorry, my empress, forgive me."
He didn't ask about the two words that the queen blurted out just now in a hurry; if you listen carefully, even his tone is very cold.
However, Empress Wu didn't know why, but suddenly there was a heavy movement.
He came to Chang'an from the distant Mobei, came under this gloomy sky, and came to the bloody and cruel Shura Field; I saw my own shadow.
—The one who cannot be let go, the one who is connected by blood, the familiar yet unfamiliar self in the depths of the soul.
