Chapter 414: Shadow of Death
If Kong Ning's expectations are not bad, there is even a 50% chance that Wan'er's parents will still be alive.
The reason why Wan'er is sure that her parents are dead is because in such a chaotic wilderness, monsters rush out, and a few ordinary mortals fleeing the wilderness have no way to survive.
As a little girl, she was lucky enough to escape.
But if everything was arranged by Jiang Yunchou, then after Wan'er and her parents were dispersed by the monsters, Jiang Yunchou had achieved her goal, maybe she would make a move?
Of course, it is also possible not to act, ignoring Wan'er's parents being killed by monsters.
That Jiang Yunchou is crazy, demented, cruel and violent, it is not surprising that he did such a thing.
In an instant, Kong Ning thought of a lot.
But Wan'er obviously didn't think so much.
She was just shocked by what happened to Jiang Yunchou, and said, "Ning Butou, could it be that Senior Jiang Yunchou has been secretly protecting me during my years of practice?"
After realizing this, the girl's gaze towards the night watchman changed suddenly.
Originally, Wan'er had a good impression of Jiang Yunchou, who inherited her secret book, the ancient sword to punish evil.
Now that she knew that Jiang Yunchou might have been secretly protecting her, she even regarded Jiang Yunchou as the real master of the sect.
And Jiang Yunchou died at the hands of the night watchman.
Excalibur Jinghong was hugged by the night watchman at this time...
The paper people sensed Wan'er's emotional change, and immediately had a paper human way.
"Fellow Daoist! I'll strike at the same time now and strangle this old monster!"
"It's just a paper tiger. It looks like a bluff, but it will break if you poke it!"
The paper people are still fighting for Wan'er.
But the old night watchman on the steps snorted coldly and said: "If I don't do anything, do you really think I'm just a wooden dummy?"
"Since you're here, don't leave tonight."
"For the past twenty years, you have been hiding in the capital and sneaking around. A group of jumping clowns, the old man has long wanted to kill them! It's just right to send them to your door tonight!"
The old night watchman's voice fell, and a cold and evil aura shot up into the sky on the steps.
Kong Ning and Wan'er at the bottom of the steps retreated immediately, their expressions slightly changed.
The sense of oppression given by the night watchman was too strong.
Just the breath, let Kong Ning emerge with a sense of despair and powerlessness that cannot be resisted.
——This old night watchman, even though he was really just a paper tiger as the paper people said, he definitely wouldn't be able to break through with a single poke.
It's a paper tiger that can eat people!
But the night watchman's aura was terrifying, but he didn't make a direct move.
On the contrary, his aura wafted mightily under the night sky, as if calling for something.
Immediately afterwards, from under the night sky, a group of strange black figures suddenly appeared.
Those black shadows were wearing bamboo hats and black robes, with pale faces and empty eyes, more permeating than those paper figurines.
It was the group of "yin soldiers" in the Taimiao that Kong Ning had seen before!
And when this group of Yin soldiers appeared, the temperature in the entire palace seemed to drop in an instant.
It was originally a cool autumn night, but now it feels like early winter.
The cold wind howled in the night sky.
The group of weird Yin soldiers still floated towards the paper people in a row of two and two, looking cold and stiff.
However, the appearance of this group of Yin soldiers caused chaos among the paper people.
It seems that they are extremely afraid of this group of weird Yin soldiers.
Under the moonlight, Ambilight.
Those paper figurines shot at the same time, each using their own magical powers. Even though he has become a paper figurine, he still retains most of his Taoism and mana in his lifetime.
Under the night sky, the light of flying swords and spells shone, mixed with the bright streamer of magic weapons, and the sound of chanting mysterious spells.
The group of paper figurines were instantly forced back again and again by the strange ghost soldiers who suddenly appeared.
On the steps, Kong Ning watched the battle between the two sides with a frown, observing the methods of these paper figurines and Yin soldiers.
The methods of the paper people are supernatural and very conventional.
Although he is a puppet of a paper man and a psychic medium, the supernatural powers displayed are no different from those of ordinary practitioners.
It's those weird black shadows with weird methods.
They neither sacrificed magic weapons, nor summoned flying swords, nor did they have any mysterious spells.
Facing the continuous strangling of the paper people, this group of black shadows just silently raised the big black umbrella in their hands, and pointed the big umbrella forward.
The paper people's flying swords and magic weapons are constantly cruising, drawing bright rays of light under the night sky.
But he didn't dare to hit the big black umbrella directly.
It seems that this big umbrella has some terrible power, once it hits it, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, the paper people are forced to keep retreating.
Those Yin soldiers remained silent, they just floated forward mechanically, slowly surrounded the paper figurine, and kept shrinking the encirclement circle without any unnecessary movements.
But the paper people were so surrounded that there was no way to escape.
There are no paper figurines who dare to charge these weird shadows head on.
Wan'er whispered: "Ning Butou, these black shadows are not dead spirits, nor are they living things..."
Under the two rounds of bright moonlight, those weird black shadows are no longer the same as before, only Kong Ning can see them.
They appear in everyone's eyes, and ordinary people can also see their traces.
Kong Ning observed silently, without saying a word.
It's just that the evil book in his arms began to faintly heat up from the moment these strange black shadows appeared.
Seems to be affected somehow.
This group of evil books has a strange origin, which is related to the strange dream that Kong Ning had.
Until now, Kong Ning didn't know the origin of this group of heresies, let alone the role of those old people from Shanlan County on it...
At the same time, Kong Ning was also observing the old night watchman on the steps.
It was found that the night watchman had no intention of doing anything at all.
Obviously, with the magic power it displayed, it could crush and kill these paper figurines, but it was just a flip of the palm.
But it just didn't do anything, but watched those strange black shadows that appeared suddenly besieged and killed.
Perhaps, the night watchman was really seriously injured and couldn't make a move easily.
Jiang Yunchou is the top existence of swordsmanship in the world. In ancient times, he was almost invincible and had outstanding aptitude.
After so many years, killing people everywhere, his sword energy is probably many times stronger than it was back then.
Even if the night watchman could kill Jiang Yunchou, injury is inevitable...
Kong Ning was silently observing the expressions of all parties in the arena, and was thinking about what he could do.
But at this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew past.
Immediately afterwards, Ma Liu's figure appeared under the steps.
Under the cold moonlight, the pale-skinned and miserable Ma Liu stood quietly in the shadow under the steps.
It looked at Kong Ning, without the cynicism of his previous life, and his expression was rare and dull.
Seeing Kong Ning looking at it, Ma Liu's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a smile that had remained stiff until now.
But laughing is uglier than crying.
"Kong Ning, you didn't listen to my persuasion, but you still came to this point in the end..."
Ma Liu, who once persuaded Kong Ning to leave the capital, now looked at Kong Ning and said slowly, "Have you seen your current situation?"
"Everyone in the capital will be your enemy."
"It also includes the one next to you..."
