The white mist filled the air, and the eaves of the high and low buildings in the city floated in the white mist, such as Ruohai City Chenlou. The sea of clouds in the sky fell in time this night, and a golden tower rose from the sea of clouds, like an ancient sword piercing the sky. The scorching brilliance of the sword turned the dark sky into golden undulations.
At the very top of the tower, the gray-robed man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.
The crimson long knife was stuck in the center of the top floor of the Qingming Tower in front of him, and the bronze plaque with countless complicated runes was suspended in the air in front of the gray-robed man.
Countless golden rays of light floated around the Qingming Pagoda. If Katsuragi had become a net at this time, then the gray-robed man was the hunter sitting in the middle of the net.
When Ji Wu threw out the lantern and pulled out the ancient bronze knife, the man in gray robe opened his eyes. He stretched out his hand and grasped the blade of the crimson long knife in front of him.
The blood slowly slid down the blade, seeped down along the beautiful and cold blade, and finally sank into the ground node in the center of the tower where the golden light loomed.
"rise!"
he whispered.
An invisible vibration centered on the crimson long knife and the bronze domino suspended in mid-air, suddenly erupted, like an earthquake or a tsunami, and spread out from the Qingming Tower. At that moment, the entire Qingming Pagoda seemed to vibrate. In the dark, it seemed that an ancient door connecting heaven and earth was opened in nothingness.
The violent wind blew up above Katsuragi, and those heavy golden streamers that originally resembled ripples on the lake surface rioted. Within a few breaths, there were countless golden dragons dancing crazily above the sky, tearing the darkness of the entire sky to pieces. Fragments.
In Gecheng, everyone's ears seemed to be filled with rumbling, depressing and frightening humming.
In the misty white mist, the people of Gecheng were terrified and huddled in their homes and did not dare to go out. People from the Jiuxuanmen of the Kyushu Bank and Jiwu started a narrow road fight on the long street. The fighting background of the chaotic battlefield.
However, in one place, a silence like bronze and black iron was maintained.
On the city wall of Gecheng, which spread like a crouching dragon, soldiers in heavy armor who were originally stationed outside the city were transferred in at some point. They held spears and swords in their hands, and the helmets they wore gave off a faint cold light in the half-light. This army with an obscure and strange breath was silently transferred to the city wall and lined up neatly.
In the cold wind, every soldier's face is almost the same.
Not their faces are the same.
But at first glance, it will make people feel that they are almost exactly the same.
Cold, silent, like a knife like a sword.
At this moment, the army of nearly 10,000 people seems to be all integrated into one, and an army is like a long dragon lurking. At this moment, the aura of the entire army solidified and merged into one place, giving people the feeling that these are not many individual individuals, these soldiers seem to have become... into thoughtless parts of a war machine.
The golden light in the sky danced wildly, and finally swooped down, submerging the army standing quietly on the city wall.
At that moment, between heaven and earth, in the dark, a crisp dragon chant resounded from Haogu to today.
The air in the entire city shook violently in an instant.
The army stationed on the walls has completely changed—
The phantom of an ancient dragon is entrenched on the city wall, and the figure is gradually changing from illusion to solidity.
In the entire city, all the animals collapsed to the ground in an instant, trembling and unable to move.
……………………………………………
"The Panlong has arrived."
Ji Wu half-kneeled on the ground, and the ancient bronze sword inserted half of the blade into the broken ground.
He looked very embarrassed, and the lantern he had thrown fell not far from him—after the fall, the true face of the lantern was revealed. It was not an ordinary lantern, the cold white keel was made into a cage frame, and the candle made of inextinguishable merman's oil was placed inside the lantern, and the candle seemed to be already ignited at this time. The cage made of Bai Kun's skin was cut in half by a sword, and the Merman Candle inside was also cut into two sections, and the half-extinguished small half of the Merren Candle rolled over and fell to the side.
As Ji Wu himself said, he was indeed not a warrior who fought head-on.
He is an unscrupulous shadow guard.
The lantern he held in his hand was not an ordinary lantern. The light from the Merman Candle refined through the secret method penetrated through the skin of the white kun, playing a kind of magic that could blind both Elder Qin and Elder Jiang, who were highly cultivated. blinding effect.
When he raised the ancient lamp, the lights inspired by the secret method enveloped the entire long street, and the long street was enveloped by a huge, seemingly real and illusory illusion.
Ji Wu knew very well that he could not be the opponent of the most outstanding elders of Jiuxuanmen and Jiuzhou Qianzhuang, so from the beginning, he had no intention of confronting them head-on. The phantom array of the ancient lamp provided the most powerful concealment for Ji Wu, who was a dark killer, and the bronze talisman cards that Elder Qin and the others got were controlled by the bronze sword in Ji Wu's hand. At the cost of sacrificing those cultivators who chose the dynasty, the bronze medal was sent to the hands of Elder Qin and others, just to attract them at the most critical moment and form a powerful confinement cage.
But Elder Qin's strength and reaction were faster than expected.
Just when Cai Ji Wu pulled out the ancient bronze sword, Elder Qin and Elder Jiang shouted loudly at the same time, the swords were cut out in an instant, and the light of the swords, which can be called amazing, swept across the air, slashing each other before the cage was formed. A bronze medal was broken.
The barrier of imprisonment that lacks two bronze medals is unstable and has weaknesses.
But at this time, the person at the Qingming Pagoda had already made a move.
In Gecheng, the oppression against the cultivators was increasing rapidly at a terrifying speed. The pressure on Elder Qin and Elder Jiang suddenly increased, and their strength was weakened more and more.
It was because of these that Ji Wu abruptly dragged the team from Jiuzhou Bank and Jiuxuanmen here.
—The Panlong has come.
Ji Wu, who was covered in blood all over his body, was exhausted to the extreme. He knelt on the ground, holding the knife several times and tried to force himself to stand up but failed.
Elder Qin shook his saber and completely broke the barrier of imprisonment formed by the bronze talisman. The moment the barrier was shattered, Ji Wu, who was half kneeling on the ground, spat out a big mouthful of blood, and the ancient knife in his hand shattered. , Ji Wu swayed and fell directly to the ground—the moment the ancient sword shattered, his candle of life seemed to be extinguished.
"you… "
This Qingjun Jintang royal family barely raised his head, a pale smile appeared on his blood-stained face.
"… That's too late."
His voice was as weak as a slight wind.
Accompanied by his last sigh-like words, the air in Katsuragi trembled violently in an instant, and the white misty mist rolled up, and amidst the violent shaking, the tide receded in unison. A dragon cry that seemed to come from Haogu rang in everyone's ears, with a majesty that seemed to rise from the depths of the soul.
The white mist receded, and everyone's sight was restored. On the northwest city wall they were about to rush to, the figure of an ancient dragon slowly emerged in the void. come out.
"Hold."
When he heard the dragon's cry, Elder Chen couldn't help but swear, he was holding a sword, and he looked a little out of breath.
Ji Wu's purpose was only to delay their pace, so Ji Wu did not confront them head-on, but used the enchantment to restrain a group of people from the immortal sect, wandering around and launching attacks. Although Elder Qin and Elder Jiang blocked most of the attacks, Elder Chen also had to do his best to protect the disciples of the Kyushu Bank who were relatively low in cultivation.
Elder Chen could no longer hear Ji Wu cursing.
He was obviously born in the royal family, and logically speaking, he should have no worries about food and clothing and be pampered all his life, but he wore a mask to hide in the darkness, and Ji Wu, who was licking blood from his knife edge, stopped breathing. In his life, he either killed many people with his own hands, or indirectly killed many people by treating them as pawns. But in the end, he also regarded himself as a pawn.
Jin Tangji's blood is like a curse.
People with Ji's blood have always been out-and-out lunatics like wild wolves.
……………………………………………………
The sound of skimming the sky sounded, and Elder Qin and the others quickly rushed towards the city wall where the phantom of the ancient dragon appeared.
The projection of the ancient dragon entrenched on the city wall is becoming solid at a speed visible to the naked eye. Once the figure of the ancient dragon is completely solidified and the closed eyes are opened, then everything will be over, and none of them will be able to live in Qingming. Under the pressure of the tower, he rushed out of this city that had turned into a killing array.
The city gate was in sight, and an army of thousands of people in armor on the city appeared in sight. Elder Qin held the handle of the knife with his blood-stained hand, and calmly wanted to slash open the city gate.
Based on Elder Qin's cultivation, it can be seen at a glance that those soldiers have actually lost their spiritual intelligence at this time, and they have been transformed by the power of the ancient emperor. Someone used these soldiers with the aura of the ancient emperor combined with the power of the Qingming Tower to summon the projection of the Coiling Dragon at the beginning of the Primordial Era. The closer to the city wall, the closer to Longying, the greater the pressure on everyone.
Even Elder Qin and Elder Jiang were already covered in cold sweat at this moment.
The less powerful Bai Li and those Kyushu bank disciples only felt that their bones were under heavy pressure, and they made teeth-sore sounds, and their chests were even more blood-boiling. This feeling makes people subconsciously want to fall to the ground and crawl.
But everyone knows that you can't stop, you can't fall.
They must rush forward.
Just when everyone was within easy reach of the city gate, and the long knife in Elder Qin's hand was slashing out, a crimson knife light arced across hundreds of miles of space from Qingming Pagoda like a crescent moon.
The crimson knife light was silent, and it was behind everyone in an instant. When the sword light came, the phantom figure of the suspended ancient dragon was close to solidification in the sky above the city wall. It seemed that it had sensed Elder Qin's killing intent. Eyes snapped open.
When the giant dragon opened its eyes, everyone who was surrounded by its vision only felt that they were hit head-on by a giant hammer. The disciples with lighter cultivation bases couldn't hold it anymore, and spurted out a mouthful of blood. Zhong Yi stagnates and looks about to fall. At this time, Elder Jiang yelled violently, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, leaped high, and slashed down from midair towards the dragon's head with a heavy force rarely seen in swordsmanship.
Elder Jiang's sword was slender and definitely not heavy, but at this moment, his sword had the momentum of an epee.
Amidst the violent roar, Elder Jiang, who always had a dead face, looked like a cornered lion, with fierce and desperate determination.
The sword light cut down like mountains and rivers, and Elder Jiang, who jumped up in mid-air, met the coercion of the ancient dragon head-on with his own strength. The pressure on the disciples suddenly lightened.
However, at this moment, behind them, the crimson knife light had already swept in front of them. It was hundreds of miles away from the Qingming Tower at the city gate, but the knife light seemed to ignore the space gap , and arrived behind everyone in an instant. The crimson knife light did not have an earth-shattering momentum, but when it came, everyone felt the shadow of death.
At this time, Elder Jiang jumped up in mid-air to resist the dignified coercion of the dragon's head, and Elder Qin slashed towards the city wall and gate.
None of them had time to look back to resist the blood moon-like knife light.
Bai Li, who was standing at the end of the line, gritted her teeth, her swords were stained with frost, she turned around, and was about to face the arc moon's blood-colored saber light that was slashing down obliquely.
"go back!"
In the oblique stab, one hand grabbed Bai Li's shoulder and threw her back.
"go back!"
The chubby, always squinting eyes, the shrewd Elder Chen's white and chubby face was flushed red, and his facial features were almost twisted together.
He roared, and threw Bai Li back to the back of the team.
At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, Elder Chen, who had always been timid and tactful, took a deep breath, his body swelled up muscles one by one, and his figure became burly at that moment, just like Kuafu who was chasing the sun back then. He roared angrily, as if he had completely changed—not like a shrewd and smooth businessman, but like a fearless warrior who swore to the death.
The deep roar seemed to be echoed by the ancient bell. Elder Chen, who was always hiding in the middle of the team, jumped up high and opened his arms to meet the slanting bloody knife light.
When he opened his arms, a golden-like scarlet fire rose from his body, like a pair of wings of a phoenix flying high. This space was almost ignited by the scorching fire on his body. He roared, the muscles on his face trembled, and he rushed towards the bloody knife light that was coming through the air without avoiding it.
——Behind him were the stunned Kyushu Bank disciples, Bai Li who was thrown back by him, and Elder Qin and Elder Jiang who also swung their swords desperately.
