"Back off! Back off!"
Elder Dao yelled and quickly retreated. He did not bring all the men of the Hehuan Sect branch tonight, and he did not expect to encounter such a dilemma.
Suddenly, he sniffed lightly, and even though it was covered by the rain, he still smelled a very slight rancid smell emanating from under the black-robed man's robe.
Corpse puppet!
It turns out to be a corpse puppet!
Elder Dao suddenly realized, and then shouted angrily: "Corpse Refining Sect, you and I are at odds with each other!"
All the eight innate zombie puppets' moves were killing moves, and many people around him died in the blink of an eye. It is still unclear whether he can keep his position as an elder after the news is spread back to the sect!
Just when Elder Sword thought he had escaped from the zombie attack range, a bright sword light suddenly flashed behind him.
"Crack!"
A bloody arm was broken off and fell into a muddy puddle!
"Ah!"
Elder Dao's screams disappeared in an instant, and he no longer cared about the men around him, and fled in a hurry alone.
Without the protection of the elders, a group of rabble who had just advanced to the first and second levels of innateness were quickly slaughtered by the corpse puppets. Fang Yuan picked up the bamboo hat, walked to the side of the road and picked up the severed arm. True energy was poured into it fiercely. The next moment, Elder Dao's right arm exploded into blood mist with a "bang".
After doing this, Fang Yuan glanced at Dongfang Rui, who was looking at him, and jumped onto the eaves without any regrets and disappeared. If possible, he would prefer to hold an umbrella for Su Li quietly.
Of course, he was also happy to help Su Li do this kind of trivial matter of framing someone.
Everyone disappeared, leaving only corpses everywhere. Dongfang Rui took a deep breath, with a faint look of horror in his eyes. Is that the arrangement Su Li mentioned? There is such a master beside her.
Fang Yuan returned to Su Li, took the umbrella handle from Su Li's hand, and heard Su Li laugh and say: "You are born at the third level of innateness, but you can cut off the arm of a person at the fifth level of innateness with one sword. You are making good progress in the Proud Sword Art. "
Fang Yuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, lowered his head and said, "I still don't understand a lot, and I've only scratched the surface."
"I'm just the same as you. We can exchange experiences with each other in the future, and maybe we can gain something new." As he said that, Su Li suddenly looked in another direction, "Next, it's time to take a look at the Corpse Refining Sect. What kind of stuff is it?"
Under the curtain of rain, a group of black-clothed and masked men were running quickly on the roof. There were forty-two people in total, all of them with innate cultivation. Soon they approached the Wu family mansion. The leading masked man looked alert and looked around, much more cautious than Elder Dao.
The auction is about to start, and the water in Yunjing City is unknown how deep it is. At this moment, they are naturally trying to fish in troubled waters. It would be best if they can reduce the combat power of other forces. As for the Wu family... If they are not dead, they will naturally He will also transform into Lei Feng and help.
After all, they have a close relationship with the third prince.
At this moment, they didn't know that before they came, their whereabouts would be revealed by Elder Dao's roar.
Turning around the street, one could still smell the strong smell of blood despite the rain. When the leading black-faced man saw the gap where Yuyun Army surrounded the Wu family, he felt a little happy and wanted to lead others to climb in.
But at this moment, countless silver needles mixed with the drizzle, covering all the men in black like a violent storm!
The leading black-faced man snorted coldly and immediately controlled the corpse puppet to block the silver needle. The twelve people also followed suit and blocked the corpse puppet in front of him. In the next moment, all the corpse puppets in front were turned into hedgehogs. , not a single needle fell on a living person.
"Young man, who gave you the courage to take action against me?"
The leading black-faced man let out a ferocious cry, and controlled the eight corpse puppets in his hands to rush towards the source of the silver needles. However, before he could take a few steps, a series of "plop" sounds could be heard behind him. He turned around in shock, However, he found that all his subordinates were unconscious and limp, and the corpse puppets had no one to control them, so they naturally became dead objects.
"What's going on?" The leading black-faced man looked horrified. They had clearly dodged all the silver needles.
Immediately afterwards, the leading black-faced man's vision turned black and he fell down and fainted. Su Li stood on the edge of the eaves and fired a variety of weapons from his sleeves. The swords, guns and sticks hit everyone's vitals without landing, except for the leader, the black-faced man.
In the blink of an eye, blood followed the patter of rain and formed a river, blood red.
Ling Li sat in the room, looking at the rolls of information sent by people from the Tianya Pavilion, and fell into silence for a long time. Someone has done what he has always wanted to do, and the Corpse Refining Sect and Hehuan Sect will definitely follow. Turn against each other and fight until death.
But who actually did this, he had no idea.
"Master, maybe they really ran into each other, and the situation was chaotic, and it turned into a big melee." Ling Xian gently touched the wrinkle between Ling Li's eyebrows, and the latter pushed away without leaving a trace, making her face His smile froze.
Ling Li stood up and stood by the window. He would not have such naive thoughts as Ling Xian. There must be someone behind this matter to make all the advantages fall to their side.
This person, on their side, was unwilling to show up.
Ling Li's breath froze slightly as he thought of someone.
In the second half of the night, more sect forces surrendered, taking advantage of this chaos to weaken their own strength. Under Su Li's control, no one benefited in the end, and all suffered serious injuries.
There was a glimmer of light in the sky, and the things hidden in the darkness disappeared as the darkness faded, leaving only corpses all over the street. Dongfang Rui looked tired, but his eyes were bright. Looking at the dead Wu family, he turned his stiff neck and asked hoarsely: "Where is Wu Lirong?"
Wu Bin's face was covered with blood. He came over and said with a wry smile: "I found it after searching, but..."
As he said this, he asked someone to carry the body over and said, "When we found her, she was already a corpse. There was a lot of chaos last night, and we don't know who killed her."
Looking at Wu Lirong who had long since died, Dongfang Rui pulled out the long sword from his waist and suddenly severed Wu Lirong's head. With the blood spilling, he carefully wrapped it up and held it in his arms. This time he breathed a long sigh of relief from exhaustion. Tone: "Go back, that's enough."
"Yes, sir."
Wu Bin said hello and led the people to retreat quickly, leaving only the broken door wall of Wu's house covered in blood.
Wu Suijun sat upright in the middle of the main room and did not move all night. The people in Prince Rui's Mansion didn't seem to have seen him at all. One night, they ran through the Wu family wantonly and killed everyone who was not a direct descendant.
Except that Wu Lirong died tragically and her body was taken away, Dongfang Rui's actions were very measured, and the Wu family did not suffer much loss. But Wu Suijun would never be grateful for Dongfang Rui's hand. In addition to the Ling family, the Wu family's mortal enemy also had another Prince Rui's house!
After the people from Prince Rui's mansion left, a large number of city guards appeared and began to clean the streets and remove the corpses.
While Hu Daliang sent people to take away the corpses, he couldn't help but be shocked. It turned out that the seemingly gentle Prince Rui went crazy and turned out to be so terrifying. There were five hundred corpses near the Wu family!
"The emperor acquiesces to the prince to commit such a murder. I didn't expect that the relationship between Prince Rui and the emperor is really good."
Hu boldly murmured to himself, sighing in his heart. The day before King Rui took action, he received an order from above not to take action no matter how much trouble King Rui made. He thought that given King Rui's temperament, he would just kill dozens of people at most, but he didn't expect the real number. Ten times as much as he guessed.
At this moment, Dongfang Xiao, who had just gotten up and washed himself, was eating breakfast under the service of the palace maid, when he suddenly received the news from Hu DaBang, and was so shocked that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was shocked not because of the five hundred lives, but because Dongfang Rui actually issued a false order and used his name to bloodbath the Wu family!
Every branch of the Wu family was really killed by Dongfang Rui!
This hatred is too great!
He just wanted Dongfang Rui to give the Wu family a little beating, and he even guessed that in that complicated situation, Dongfang Rui would give up if he couldn't even kill a Wu family maid.
But when he woke up one night, the news he got was that Dongfang Rui had an unimpeded journey and killed everyone in the Wu family except the direct lineage, including the maids and servants!
"Dongfang Rui, is he crazy? Just for a woman who has been dead for more than ten years!" Dongfang Xiao stood up in anger, overturned the table, and then coughed violently. Eunuch Feng was so surprised that he immediately called the imperial doctor over.
After calming down, Dongfang Xiao's eyes were sinister and he sighed to himself in a low voice, "I'm old, and I can't even scheme against others."
After thinking about it for a moment, he understood. Dongfang Rui can be used as a spear user by him, and it is naturally possible for him to be used by others. This time, someone is obviously giving Dongfang Rui advice and telling him how to get revenge. Dongfang Rui was so impulsive that he probably never considered the consequences of this matter. .
"The Wu family has been greatly weakened, the Ling family has also withered, and now the Ma family is the only one, haha..."
Dongfang Xiao smiled coldly, and Eunuch Feng trembled. Could it be that it was the Ma family who was behind the attack this time? But the Ma family has always been loyal to the emperor...
"The emperor's position is really attractive. Everyone wants to sit there."
Dongfang Xiao reluctantly sat up, a deep thought flashed in his eyes, "The Ling family and the Wu family are in the same situation. Instead of asking them to unite to deal with the Ma family, it is better to consider strengthening one of them. The Wu family, the eighth brother acted recklessly, I'm afraid He has turned against me; the Ling family is a loyal family, so we can make use of it... "
Having made up his mind, Dongfang Xiao cheered up and said, "General Xuan Lingping enters the palace!"
"As you command!"
On the day when the whole city was in turmoil because of the Wu family, Ling Ping came back with a baffled look and received the position of general of the country. It was the glory of his father!
In other words, his current status is no worse than that of Prime Minister Ma or Prime Minister Tang, and his power in the military exceeds that of Wu Suijun!
But during this time he stayed in Yunjing and clearly did nothing.
However, in the past few years, he had been fighting abroad, winning consecutive battles, and was always praised by the palace with "a thousand taels of gold" and other awards. He had not even heard of the news of his promotion.
"Is it possible that if I want to improve my military rank, I have to stay in Yunjing City?"
For a moment, General Ling Ping was at a loss.
Ling Li, who knew the whole process, was a little surprised when he got the news, but he was not very shocked.
Dongfang Xiao needs to check and balance the major families in his hands. The Tang Prime Minister's Mansion has never failed to show its beauty, but Dongfang Xiao seems to have put it out of consideration.
Now that Dongfang Rui's raid on the Wu family was a great success, the Wu family's strength was weakened to a low point. Unexpected by Dongfang Xiao, Dongfang Xiao urgently raised Ling Ping's military rank to make the Ling family's status equal to that of the Ma family and maintain balance. .
As for Ling Ping's military merit, he had already accumulated enough under his arrangement, but Dongfang Xiao pretended not to know and delayed promoting Ling Ping.
Thinking of this, Ling Li smiled. The person who took action in secret really helped him a lot.
Dongfang Xiao relaxed the restrictions on the Ling family, and he didn't have to worry about Dongfang Xiao continuing to weaken the Ling family.
