That angry laughter, accompanied by words, and an astonishing aura, was like a storm sweeping towards us. It didn't even allow us to react, and it roared past like crazy, making every one of us groan. .
Fortunately, this is not the kind of targeting that happened in the first confrontation. It must be a crushing kind of targeting. Even if it exists, it still needs to condense the aura, so we just feel that the body is churning and the chest is tight, but there is nothing wrong with it. Injuried.
Under my deliberate protection at that moment, Zhu Zhuo was not hurt at all, but his face was a little pale. After the momentum passed, he raised his pale face and said to me: "I'm not afraid! "
I patted Zhu Zhuo's head gently and said to him: "Yes, I know."
"There's no need to rush. I really want to sit down and smoke a cigarette." Brother Chengxin said lazily.
"Another glass of red wine will definitely relieve fatigue." Xiao Chengqian also lazily leaned against Brother Chengxin and stretched.
"Hucun is in a hurry, let's go to the inner city." I said lightly, then turned around and left. Suddenly I understood how my master felt. When everything is carried on my back, I really can't stop for a moment. , not to mention that in those years, I, as his apprentice, had always been his biggest burden.
Tired? Master!
The purple-red sky is like the setting sun, reflecting our backs and steps forward. Facing my cold "uncomprehending style", Brother Chengxin smiled and complained: "It's our turn to take action next, you Can’t you just relax?”
"Come on, I guess he is the kind of person who watches a comedy in a cinema and everyone in the cinema is laughing, but he can only have a cramp in his face and can't laugh." Xiao Chengqian added.
I understand very well that their jokes like this are just to dilute the sadness caused by these sacrifices and the heaviness of the upcoming war. I can understand it. Unfortunately, I sadly found that in the middle of that kind of pressure, I But he couldn't fit in.
I only have a simple hope: there should be no more sacrifices, everyone should be well, even if I die, don't let me watch them die.
The inner city is famous in this city. Zhu Zhuo has been yearning for it for so many years. According to its words, it can take us to visit the inner city even with our eyes closed.
This time, it was no longer a desperate run. I held Zhu Zhuo and led everyone, just walking quickly through the city. The ghosts in the city experienced such a 'change' and poured out of the house one after another, talking about these things. misfortune.
There were less fights and fights in the streets. I don’t know if it was my imagination. Even the ghosts who were not quite sober seemed to have become a little more sober.
Zhu Zhuo sighed comfortably in my arms. I was puzzled and asked him, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know, I just feel that the atmosphere around me has changed. It's cold and comfortable. It's not as... that kind of... I can't say." Zhu Zhuo seemed to be obsessed with this kind of comfort, and he even smiled slightly. Closed his eyes.
I shook my head helplessly. We had only been in the ghost town for a short time, and because of our special status, we were all a group of cultivators, so its mixed Yin Qi had almost no impact on us, so we couldn’t understand it. To Zhu Zhuo’s feelings.
But in my memory, this formation does not have the heaven-defying effect of purifying Yin Qi, so I don't think it is the effect of this formation.
But no matter what, good changes always make people happy. Such a change in such a violent and desperate city can make us feel slightly better when we walk in it.
Be the hero you admire in your heart. Sacrifice brings good meaning. This is the best comfort.
Keep walking towards the east, I can't remember how many interfaces and alleys we passed, and we finally stood in the legendary inner city.
"This is it." Zhu Zhuo said to me softly. He looked up at the huge two words 'Imperial City' on the inner city gate. There was no longer any yearning in Zhu Zhuo's eyes, but a kind of fullness. The tension of hope.
I also looked at the legendary inner city. There were no buildings around it, and the buildings in the outer city consciously separated it by about a mile.
It has seemingly thick black walls, which give people a heavy feeling just at a glance. On the tower, there is a huge brazier burning, and the purple flames are constantly spitting out, illuminating everything here.
Originally it was shrouded in black mist, but when I finally got here and faced this huge city wall, I couldn't help but think about going against a city!
Before, I had a strong feeling of powerlessness, but now, I quietly clenched my fists. The blood brought by those sacrifices had already boiled in my heart, and now it needed a grand battle to vent it.
Fighting is not all sin. As long as what you do is right, as long as it is in the name of justice, then just move forward.
Thinking of this, I felt my whole body boiling. I put down Zhu Zhuo in my arms, held its hand, and handed it to Ruyue.
"Ruyue, take Zhu Zhuo and stay outside the city gate, waiting for us." I said without letting Ruyue refuse.
"Third brother, why? When we were young, we took risks and got into trouble, and we always walked side by side." Ruyue looked a little dissatisfied. It could be seen that she was still eager to fight side by side with me, maybe to continue her youthful spirit. There is a feeling that life is always moving forward, but we still linger on the past. No one can resist the regret of the fleeting scenery, but we can only let the express train of life take us far away.
"Because you are no longer a child, and the situation in which you entered the city as a spirit body is somewhat special, and you cannot fully display your combat effectiveness." At this point, a trace of pain flashed in my eyes, and I said to Ruyue seriously: "Ruyue, I I don’t want to lose anyone important to me anymore. Even if there is a slight possibility, I want to avoid this situation. Do you know? In the future, our road will still be long, rivers and lakes, and we still have many places. I’m not going, not now, okay, Kisaragi?”
Ruyue looked at me silently for a while, and finally silently held Zhu Zhuo's hand, and then said to me: "Third brother, I feel the same way, be careful. I will wait here for you to be safe."
"Yes, everything will be safe." I said to Ruyue with a smile. Looking at Ruyue's and Ruxue's 80% similar faces, I felt a little dazed. If I could complete everything safely in the end of my life, , I will go to Dragon Tomb again, just to see you again, Ruxue.
A thought silently flashed through my mind, then I turned around and walked towards the inner city without looking back. Everyone followed me closely. The sound of Ruyue holding Zhu Zhuo became farther and farther away, but I felt that she His eyes were still on us, full of worry.
Outside the city gate, there is no gatekeeper. There is a huge black city gate about ten meters high with a special metallic color, standing in front of us!
It was tightly closed and became the first thing to block us.
At this time, Hui Gen'er had completely torn off the monk's robe on his upper body and was only wearing a pair of monk pants. He walked up to me and said, "I'm coming!"
I nodded, and Hui Gen'er suddenly smiled and said to me: "If I can't push it open, I will smash the city gate with one punch."
"Yes, I believe it." I said with a faint smile.
Hui Gen'er stopped talking and put his hands on the city gate. Then he roared, his muscles bulged, and the city gate was slowly pushed open by him.
It turned out that the city gate was not locked, but just closed like this.
Hui Gen'er didn't push all the gates open, but he was just able to let us pass. He stopped and said to me with regret: "It's a pity that we can't break it."
"Why waste so much effort? Let's save it for the fight later." I said calmly and walked into the city gate. Hui Gen'er laughed at me and quickly followed my footsteps.
Our messy footsteps echoed in the empty city gate passage. It was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, but you could see a huge square in front of you. At the end of the square was a building similar to a palace hall, and its two sides were also well-proportioned. There are some buildings whose details are unclear.
I couldn't help but sneered, did the city lord here really regard himself as the emperor? It wants to be the emperor somewhere. This inner city is actually built in the form of a royal palace, but it is not exactly the same. After all, it is still a city, an inner city! It’s not a real imperial city!
We quickly passed through the gate passage and walked onto the square!
Naturally, a few people with relatively strong fighting ability surrounded a few people who were not very good at fighting, but since they can get here, who really can't fight? Except for Brother Chengqing, he makes me a little unclear. After all, judging from what he has learned and his soul, it is difficult to say that he has combat effectiveness.
Our footsteps echoed in this empty square. After walking for hundreds of meters, we found that everything was eerily quiet, and there was no movement at all around us.
Xiao Chengqian said next to me: "I have a hunch that it will be a stormy battle later."
I didn't answer. In fact, as soon as I entered the inner city, I really felt that the yin energy here was many times purer than that in the outer city. Although it was not completely pure, I could already feel the yin energy coming from my soul. It felt more comfortable. Even when Zhu Zhuo said it was comfortable in the outer city, I didn't feel anything.
I was deep in thought about my own problems, but I didn't expect that not long after Xiao Chengqian finished speaking, the inner city suddenly lit up for no reason, and purple flames lit up everywhere!
