Li Yingjie looked at me blankly for a few seconds: "You showed up too late. If I had seen you a few years earlier, I would have tried my best to drag you into the torture chamber."
I said bluntly: "But I don't like the Palace of Punishment."
Li Yingjie's expression was serious: "Do you still like the Demon Sect? That's right. There are no charming girls in the Palace of Punishment, so they can't attract young people like you!"
Li Yingjie laughed and said: "Don't be embarrassed. I think back then, when I was young, the magic hand was also popular. How many beauties shed tears for me!"
Talking and laughing? right!
Only between life and death can we see our true self. Perhaps this is the real Li Yingjie, the real detective, not the great elder of the Hall of Punishment.
While Li Yingjie was speaking, the plume of smoke rising into the sky in the distance suddenly looked like a giant python rising with its head held high. It shook its body violently, scattering the smoke and dust surrounding him, and revealed his true face from the smoke column.
The first thing I saw was a snake body towering into the sky like a giant tree. I couldn't tell how long the snake was, but I could clearly tell that its body was half taller than the fifth city wall.
I was in shock when the giant snake suddenly bent down and pressed half of its body on top of the city. The eight human heads above its neck also stared in our direction.
The legendary Nine Infants have nine heads. How come the Nine Infants I saw only have eight heads
I was suddenly startled and looked over Jiuying's head again. There was a dark coffin standing among the eight huge heads. It was because of the light problem that I didn't see clearly that there was a coffin in the middle of the heads.
I couldn't help but said to myself: "What's going on?"
Li Yingjie said in a deep voice: "I guess that coffin is the key to the Nine Infants. If you look carefully at the eight heads, I think they look like a secret cabin."
I couldn't help but frown. We can still clearly see the appearance of a human head from hundreds of meters away, which only shows that the size of the human head has exceeded our understanding.
But I don't really believe that it is a secret cabin, because the eight heads all have a black spot between their eyebrows. Legend has it that when Hou Yi shot Jiu Ying, he penetrated all nine of its heads at the same time with long arrows. Wouldn't it be unnecessary if even the arrow holes of the Jiuying imitated by Yanshi's lineage were to be restored to their original state
While I was thinking about it, a roar suddenly came from the fifth city - it was the loud noise made by Jiu Ying's body pressing over the city head.
When I looked forward, Jiuying's huge snake body was already pressing on the city wall and swimming towards our direction. The snake body that cuts across the city wall is like a giant knife. Every time it cuts across a section of the city, it cuts off a point of the city wall. I watched the bricks and stones on the city being blown apart layer by layer by the snake's body, and Jiuying's snake tail also disappeared from my sight.
Now Jiuying must be entrenched behind the fourth city, and may cross the city wall at any time. The Xingdian disciples on the city were extremely nervous in an instant, and their guns were pointed at the opposite city.
Li Yingjie shouted in a hoarse voice: "Stay steady, hold everything steady, don't..."
Before Li Yingjie finished speaking, a loud noise rose from the sky. The city wall almost a hundred meters away from us collapsed in the loud noise, and the bricks knocked away by Jiuying roared like cannonballs.
"Get down!" Li Yingjie pushed me down and threw myself on the ground. Countless bricks and stones flew past our heads with strong winds. The sound of the disciples from the Hall of Punishment being knocked away by rocks suddenly arose.
An elder who was thrown away by a stone rolled several times and fell next to us. He struggled and shouted: "Great Elder... Invincible..." Before the man could finish his words, he fell beside us with his eyes open.
I subconsciously looked around and saw the bloody corpses of the Xing Palace disciples everywhere, while more people were still struggling and screaming.
Before we had time to meet Jiu Ying, the Xing Palace had already lost an adult man.
When Li Yingjie stood up angrily, Jiuying, who rushed out of the city, had already raised his head in the smoke and dust.
"Fire!" Li Yingjie roared angrily, and the disciples of the Hall of Punishment began to fire wildly. While the rain of fire flying across the sky hit Jiuying wildly, Jiuying withstood the gunfire and swam toward the city wall.
"Where's the bazooka? Get the bazooka!" Li Yingjie was still roaring, and the four guns had already roared in unison and exploded towards Jiuying's body. Jiuying's body only raised back and immediately returned to its original position. .
The moment the snake's body lifted up, I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Jiuying's snake body is indeed a secret warehouse connected with each other like the backbone of a python. The moment the secret cabin was blown open by a rocket, countless three-headed demon servants appeared in the secret cabin. Pairs of bloody eyes stared at the top of the city in unison, with strong murderous intent following the fierce gaze of the other party.
"Fire, don't stop!" As Li Yingjie roared, Jiuying began to slowly turn his body. Although the large number of demon servants standing in the front section of the secret cabin were covered in blood under the gunfire, they remained standing and blocked the hail of bullets from the execution hall. The moment Jiuying approached the city, it was time for the demon servants to forcefully attack the city.
I stood up and shouted to Si Ruo with all my strength: "Go and notify Tao Xiyu and ask her to activate the mechanism, quickly!"
Don't say that my fox bell has been in Tao Xiyu's hand and has not been taken back. Even if the fox bell is in hand now, the faint ringing cannot reach the Yellow Turban warriors through the fighting of thousands of troops.
Before Si Ruo stood up in the distance, I saw the machine puppet Yi standing under the city reaching out his right hand to grab the long sword at his waist. Just a moment later, thousands of long swords came out in unison amidst the roar of the dragon. Sheath, the dazzling sword light surged like waves between Jiu Ying's body, and countless demon servants flew down from the secret cabin and rushed towards the army formation.
Only then did I understand why the third city's mechanism array was built into a trapezoid shape that resembled a dam. It turned out that it was a deliberate design to prevent the demon servant from attacking the city. If it was just a straight up and down city wall, the demon servant's current location would be It should be above the city. A frontal battle would require at least five times more troops to block the attack of the demon servants.
The moment the demon servant landed, the military formation under the city suddenly activated, and the swords in the hands of the first row of puppets suddenly thrust out with the sound of breaking wind. The demon servant stepped forward almost without any hesitation and blocked the puppet's sharp sword with his chest.
The two sides were in a stalemate for only a moment before the swords of the second row of puppets thrust out again. This time, hundreds of sharp swords were pointed directly at the demon servant's face, and in an instant the arrows penetrated the demon servant's head.
As soon as the bloody sword tip came out an inch from the back of the demon servant's head, the mechanism puppet's wrist suddenly twisted in a clockwise direction. The long sword turned crazily and shattered the demon servant's head, and then returned to its normal state again. in situ. Two rows of machine puppets retreated to their original positions at the same time. Some demon servants lay dead on the ground, while the remaining demon servants rushed towards the city with screams, and the puppet army formation was activated again at the same time...
After just watching it for a while, I realized that besides being extremely sturdy, the design of those mechanism puppets was not very subtle. One puppet could only activate three moves at most, and it continued its original movements over and over again. However, this simple puppet is extremely effective against demon servants. With only three simple moves and two moves, it can block a group of vicious demon servants.
Li Yingjie, who had taken a breath, couldn't help but admired: "The great truth is so simple! Zhuge Liang is truly a wonder of the ages."
I shook my head and said: "It won't be that simple. What if..."
Before I finished speaking, Jiuying, who was standing far away, suddenly fell down towards the city.
"Get out of the way!" Before I could finish my words, Jiuying's huge body was like a long stick hitting the water waves, slamming into the military formation. A vertical row of machine puppets were smashed into the ground by the opponent's impact. Jiuying opened a passage for the demon servant to rush to the top of the city.
In an instant, several hatches opened on Jiuying's back, and demon servants jumped out from the secret cabins, stepping on Jiuying's body and sprinting towards the city.
"Kill-" Li Yingjie drew his sword and roared. "Send them back to me!"
As the disciples of the Hall of Punishment swarmed towards Jiu Ying, Jiu Ying suddenly turned his head and sprayed out a stream of fire along the ground of the city wall.
The raging flames soared several meters into the air as soon as they touched the air, spreading along the direction of the city wall. The disciples of the execution hall who had no time to escape were burned into balls of fire on the spot, rolling down both sides of the city wall.
However, the demon servants behind Jiuying took advantage of the cover of the fire and jumped onto the top of the city, stepping on the flames that had not yet been extinguished and rushing towards both sides of the city wall.
I clearly saw sparks flying and black smoke rising from the feet of the demon servants, but they ran wildly as if they didn't feel any pain at all. They rushed into the battle group in the blink of an eye and fought with the disciples of the Hall of Punishment with only flesh and blood. The bodies were fighting together, even though their flesh and blood were flying everywhere, they would rather die than retreat, blocking the opponent's footsteps with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Li Yingjie roared angrily: "Get down here and blow up Jiuying, hurry up!"
One by one, the disciples of the execution hall rushed towards the military formation with their arms around him, constantly dodging the long swords on the military formation, and rushed towards Jiu Ying who was lying across the military formation. Not long after, a series of shocking loud noises were set off on Jiu Ying's body one after another, and the corpses covered in smoke and fire rolled down from the military formation. Among them were the corpses of the disciples of the execution hall, and the broken limbs of the demon servants.
In a matter of moments, more than half of the disciples of the Hall of Punishment had been killed or injured. Jiu Ying was pressed in the military formation, twisting his body and slowly swimming toward the city.
Although the puppets on the military formation stuck Jiu Ying's joints, they could not stop him from moving up the city. It won't be long before Jiuying rushes to the city. By then, who can stop Jiuying from crossing the city
Li Yingjie said in a hoarse voice: "The elders are ready—"
Li Yingjie has clearly made up his mind to fight to the death. Once all the elders of the Hall of Punishment are involved in the war, the Hall of Punishment will cease to exist.
"Wait a minute!" I said anxiously, "Wait a little longer, maybe there will be a turn for the better. Since Zhuge Liang has arranged the third city, there is no way he will not be able to reach the city without Jiu Ying. Wait a minute!"
Li Yingjie shook his head with tears in his eyes and said, "We can't wait any longer. Go quickly and leave here with the secret message. Hurry up."
