I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Why did my voice come from the other side? Is it Tao Siyu? It should be her.
There were only Tao Siyu and Meng Tiandong on the opposite side of the city. Meng Tiandong was still crying. It couldn't be that he was imitating my voice with ventriloquism. The only one left was Tao Siyu.
From the moment Meng Tiandong shouted for me to speak, half of the mystery in my heart was solved.
Si Ruo can't be the one who made the layout. A skilled chess player may personally participate in a chess game to confuse the enemy, but he will never trap himself in the game. Only the chess pieces are trapped.
Si Ruo is not the one who made the layout, so I have always misunderstood Si Ruo.
The moment indescribable pain suddenly surged from my heart, Si Ruo's voice also came over: "Tao Xiyu, you don't have to lie to me. I have been listening to Wang Huan's voice for four years, even when he was seriously ill and weak. I can also distinguish his voice. Uncle Meng..."
Just when Si Ruo was about to give his last words, I suddenly punched open the barrier of the secret passage, flew out of the secret passage, and rushed toward Luo Qianqian in a wild dance. Before I could react to the loud noise just now, the disciple of the execution hall who was standing in front of me fell to the ground with blood spattered in the light of the sword. When I quickly rushed to Luo Qianqian's side, Li Yingjie also said with great joy: "Capture Wang Huan alive."
My appearance is nothing less than a turn of events for Li Yingjie. Catching me is tantamount to controlling Si Ruo. This is the result they want.
After the other party gave the order, four members of the elder group immediately waved their palms. The four empty and roaring palms were like wild dragons, separating the crowd without any scruples and bombarding me. The disciples of the execution hall who were shaken up by the four elders suddenly passed over my head, but I let go of my body and went straight towards the opponent. The wind rushed up to meet him.
I knew that I was no match for them, but I also knew that they wanted to capture me alive. What I was betting on was that they would not dare to kill me.
I only took one step forward when the four elders were shocked and tried their best to retract their palms. How can the palm power that has surged like a river be easily withdrawn? Most of the true energy suddenly rushed back, and blood spurted out from four people at the same time. The remaining less than 30% of the true energy still hit me.
I just felt like I was hit by a heavy hammer continuously. The clothes on my chest suddenly exploded with two bowl-sized holes. The purple-red palm prints were instantly pressed into my skin. The remaining palm force followed the fingerprints. The edge shot out against my skin, tearing my clothes into pieces in an instant.
But I swung my knife into the rags flying in the sky, and the cold blade swept across the throats of the four elders as fast as lightning. As the blood of the four people flew with the knife, I took three steps and rushed towards Luo Qianqian.
Even though I was fast, the white-clothed elders of the Xing Palace were not easy to deal with. They stepped over the corpses and rushed towards me in just a moment. The disciples of the execution hall who were guarding Luo Qianqian also forcibly dragged Luo Qianqian towards the direction of the elders.
If I want to defend myself against my opponent, I have to give up rescuing Luo Qianqian. In that case, not only will all my previous efforts be wasted, but I will also immediately fall into a passive position, and in turn be blackmailed by the Palace of Punishment.
At the critical moment, two powerful crossbows suddenly flew past my head, and Ye Xun's figure also sprinted after the sharp arrows: "Take the people away!"
Before Ye Xun's voice fell, the two execution hall disciples who were guarding Luo Qianqian were pierced by crossbow arrows in the throat and fell to the ground, leaving Luo Qianqian standing alone on the edge of the city. I jumped up in an instant, hugged Luo Qianqian's waist with both hands, and climbed down the city wall with her.
Not that I wanted to be so adventurous, but I had no other options. No matter which direction I evade, the final result is that I am trapped in a tight siege. Jumping off the city wall is the only way to survive.
As soon as I fell towards the city, I saw Ye Xun stepping on the city wall and running a few steps towards me. Before I could see Ye Xun's movements clearly, Ye Xun had already come out with both palms and slapped me hard. I was immediately pushed into the air by him more than two meters away.
Ye Xun's palm was equivalent to breaking the force of my fall. When I flew out laterally and hit the ground again, although my whole body was in excruciating pain, my muscles and bones were not injured, and I immediately turned over and sat up.
At this time, Ye Xun also fell nearby, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as soon as he got up.
"Ye Xun!" When I reached out to pull Ye Xun, I saw two more clearly visible palm prints on his body. Ye Xun must have fought hard and endured a heavy palm from his opponent before he managed to find a way out for the two of us.
"Take her away!" Ye Xun only said three words before spitting out another mouthful of blood.
I desperately dragged Ye Xun forward a few steps, but at this moment Li Yingjie suddenly roared: "Go to the city and chase them, don't let them escape!"
I subconsciously turned around and looked around. More than a dozen elders in white clothes were already standing on the edge of the city wall with their feet on the city wall. Their fluttering white clothes were blowing in the wind. They looked like sword immortals coming to this world, but they also made people feel chilly.
At the critical moment, there was a violent earthquake from the opposite city. I can't describe the shock that the loud noise like a mountain and the earth caused. For a moment, I just felt that the entire third city was shaking like it was about to collapse, and even caused the entire mechanism to shake. The city roared to the sky.
When I looked back, the third city wall was like a layer of stairs flipping down from high in the sky. The city wall that was originally the same height and width, except for the tower where Tao Siyu and the others were hiding, actually turned into a barrier in the blink of an eye. On the long trapezoidal embankment that stretches away from the river dam, countless bronze puppets are divided into several layers and spread all over the embankment. They are like thousands of troops on the dam, with their majesty and evil spirit rising into the sky.
I have never seen the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum with my own eyes, but I bet that even the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum cannot be more shocking than the countless puppets in front of me.
Not only was I dumbfounded by shock, but even the elders who had already climbed onto the top of the city also forgot what they should do in their shock. They all stood dumbfounded on top of the city, looking at the endless army of puppets.
The next moment, the puppets standing on the stepped city wall took off the long bows from their bodies in unison, bent the bows and nocked arrows, and pointed the arrows into the air.
"Go to the city, come to the city quickly!" As soon as Li Yingjie roared, I cut off the rope on Luo Qianqian's body with a knife, carried Ye Xun on my back and roared: "Run!"
Luo Qianqian and I were desperately sprinting towards the opposite side. The sounds of people falling on the city top sounded one after another from behind me, and the sounds of the Xing Palace disciples struggling and screaming also followed. The Xing Palace disciples occupying the city head panicked and rushed from the city. I jumped down from the city behind me, but they didn't have the cultivation level of Ye Xun, and they didn't have the same muscles and bones as me. If they fell below the city, they would suffer broken bones and muscles, or even die on the spot.
But the long arrow in the puppet's hand did not stop for a moment because of the tragic scene below the city. In just a moment, endless rain of arrows flew past our heads. I felt that the sky suddenly became dark at first, and then the light returned soon. The sound of long arrows penetrating the human body kept rising out of the air. The screams of countless people were suppressed by the rain of arrows on top of the city.
When I looked back halfway through the rush, I could no longer see a single figure on the two-mile-long city wall. All that was left were arrows standing as disorderly as weeds. While the blood on the city was gurgling along the cracks in the bricks, the feathers behind the long arrow were still trembling slightly.
I didn't have time to estimate how much damage this round of arrow rain had caused to the execution hall, so I quickly rushed to Si Ruo's side with Ye Xun.
Before I could stand firm, Si Ruo rushed towards me, but as soon as she took a step forward, she was pulled back to her original position by the chain attached to her hand. I saw Si Ruo's wrist being pulled by the chain and bleeding, and I couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "Why are you so stupid?"
"It's good that you're alive." Although Si Ruo was still standing where he was, the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing down.
But at this moment, Tao Siyu stood on the tower and shouted: "You guys come up quickly!"
I originally had a lot to say, but I also knew that now was not the time for us to express our feelings to each other, so I quickly helped Si Ruo and the others lift the iron box and went around the gap under the city to climb onto the tower.
After I put Ye Xun down, he was still vomiting blood. I asked anxiously: "Does anyone have medicine for internal injuries?"
Tao Siyu stuffed the medicine into Ye Xun's mouth, and I shouted complainingly: "Are you crazy? Why are you risking your life when you have nothing to do?"
Ye Xun smiled lightly and said: "I promised An Ran that I would save her wife even if I risked my life, and I did it."
"You..." I made Ye Xun so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.
I really wanted to point at Ye Xun and yell, "I've never seen such a stupid person like you", but I turned around and thought, isn't it because Ye Xun is a stickler for his words and values commitments over life and death, that we have become life and death? Brothers, do you want to explore the world together
Ye Xun pointed to himself: "Bring me a drink."
"Drink, drink, drink... I'll drink you to death." I angrily took out Ye Xun's wine bottle and stuffed it into his hand.
Tao Siyu raised his hand to grab Ye Xun's wine bottle: "You have internal injuries now and you can't drink."
Ye Xun gently let go of the other party's palm: "My wine has medicine and can heal wounds."
Ye Xun was not lying about this. I have seen him mixing medicine into wine before, and I also know that several pills on his body need to be dissolved in wine to be effective. The pot was handed to Ye Xun.
"That won't work..." When Tao Siyu tried to grab Ye Xun's wine bottle again, Ye Xun blocked Tao Siyu's arm with a palm.
When Tao Siyu was inexplicably blocked, she looked at Ye Xun with her beautiful eyes wide open. She really couldn't figure out why Ye Xun suddenly "turned against him".
Ye Xun said with an apologetic smile: "My wine pot contains my world, no one can touch it."
Tao Siyu was stunned for a while, and then asked with a tone that was partly aggrieved and partly angry: "Why can Wang Huan touch your wine bottle?"
Ye Xun replied matter-of-factly: "He is in my world."
Tao Siyu didn't say anything for a long time, but I coughed dryly and said, "Tao Siyu, what is the relationship between you and Tao Xiyu?"
Tao Siyu suddenly asked, "Are you doubting me?"
