Chapter 1019 Battle
The fireball spit out from the mouth of the Yuanying. It was a ball of crude fire, like incompletely burned charcoal, containing a large number of granular sparks, which could be scattered all over the ground at any time.
Captain Yao and Luo Xiaoliu'er would not underestimate the enemy because of this. They recognized that this was an imperfect spell with many loopholes, but the power should not be underestimated. The two of them immediately dodged to the side.
The fireball hit the iron door, and the power accumulated for a long time burst out instantly. With a bang, a big hole was smashed in the iron door that was six or seven inches thick. The fireball continued to move forward, hitting the wall and entering the door. The whole underworld was shaking, and the stones on the wall fell.
The power of the Yuanying has always been restrained. This is the first time he can do whatever he wants.
He can't fly yet. He jumped up from the platform and jumped out of the door. He looked down at the dead elder and spit out the second ball of fire from his mouth. The body was burned to ashes in the blink of an eye. The fireball continued to drill into the ground, causing more intense shaking.
When Captain Yao and Luo Xiaoliu looked out the door, the child was gone.
"Hurry up and chase him. We can't let the Yuanying fall into the hands of the Taoist priest." Captain Yao jumped out of the hole in the iron gate. The edge of the hole was still red, and his clothes caught fire. Captain Yao put out the fire while running.
Luo Xiaoliu'er was more agile, and his clothes were intact. He followed Captain Yao closely, took out a bronze mirror from his bag, and asked loudly: "Can we beat the Taoist priest?"
"We have to give it a try." Captain Yao was not sure, "Maybe we can persuade Yuanying not to go with the Taoist priest."
Luo Xiaoliu didn't think this was a good plan at all, but he still followed closely.
The road was full of broken walls and ruins caused by fireballs. Most of the residents in the city gathered outside. There were not many people in the underworld. Those who encountered Yuanying were not spared. They were lucky to leave a few pieces of limbs.
"It's bad. The killing intention is together. It's hard to save it. Alas." Captain Yao sighed and ran faster.
The child had already broken through the gate of the underworld. The two of them did not encounter any obstacles and quickly returned to the ground.
It was the darkest time of the night and the moment when the sky was about to dawn. More than a dozen fireballs were flying over the Shenyou City, illuminating the entire city. There were cries everywhere in the ruins. The incident happened suddenly and everyone had no time to set up the formation.
The child stood on a raised beam, his small body was naked. He was at the age of eating and playing, but he had the calmness and anger of an adult.
He spit out all the fireballs, but he no longer cared about the life and death of mortals. He was looking up at the few people floating in the air.
The seven casual cultivators came back and brought helpers. Among the eight people, only he was not dressed like a Taoist priest. He was wearing a loose black robe, his long hair was draped behind him, and there was no magic weapon under his feet. He stood in the air. He looked only more than 30 years old, but his expression was more like a Taoist priest than anyone else. He was indifferent and arrogant. In the past, this appearance made mortals feel at ease, but now it is a symbol of cruel and ruthless death.
"This one is more decent." The black-robed Taoist priest said. He was floating at the highest position. The seven casual cultivators consciously lowered half their bodies and were ten steps away from him.
The child still didn't speak, perhaps because he didn't understand.
Captain Yao raised his head and clasped his fists, and said to the sky: "Which Taoist sect are you from?"
The black-robed Taoist priest waited for a while before slowly turning his gaze to Captain Yao and the other two. Qi Zhisheng, the Xuanmiao Zhenren on the side, whispered: "It's him."
The black-robed Taoist priest looked at Captain Yao for a few times, "You two don't have inner elixir."
"No, we are not cultivators, we just learned a set of formations and a few moves of talismans." Captain Yao told the truth.
The black-robed Taoist thought for a while before introducing himself: "I am Di Yuanfu, the master of Lao Yue Mountain. The Taoist lineage is gone, so what's the point of distinguishing between 'which family'? You spared one of my people's lives, and I will spare yours, and we will never owe each other anything. But don't let me see you or other people from the Ancient God Sect again. You can bewitch mortals, and I won't interfere. But if you dare to obstruct my actions in Lao Yue Mountain again, you are challenging me."
"The Ancient God Sect is not a bewitchment technique, your people can prove it." Captain Yao said calmly.
The seven casual cultivators all blushed.
Di Yuanfu snorted, "I know your formation wins with numbers. Gather everyone and come to Lao Yue Mountain to find me. I will be there within ten days.
Di Yuanfu waved his sleeves, and the child on the beam slowly rose to the sky. He twisted twice uneasily and did not resist.
Captain Yao didn't care about much and shouted loudly: "Yuan Ying, this world is not what you think. You are free. You don't have to follow the Taoist priests. They..."
Di Yuanfu waved his hand again, and there was no trace of magic. Captain Yao and Luo Xiaoliu'er only felt the strong wind blowing in their faces, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and they could no longer speak.
"The art of teleportation, the surnamed Di is at least at the Xingluo realm." Luo Xiaoliu'er said in surprise, turning his head to look at Captain Yao, thinking that he should give up.
"We have defeated Taoist Fu Yuemang before." Captain Yao refused to admit defeat.
"That's because of General Mu and Miss Shouque. The two of them took most of the attacks." Luo Xiaoliu'er reminded.
"We have magic weapons. "Captain Yao pointed at the bag on Luo Xiaoliu'er's body.
"These magic weapons...Okay, if you want to fight, then fight. I have a question." Luo Xiaoliu'er raised his right index finger.
"Speak."
"Are you so sure that Yuanying will not learn well from Taoist priests? The Ancient God Cult spreads the way of the weak and has always dealt with mortals. Do you have to interfere in the affairs of Taoist priests?"
"You have two problems." Lieutenant Yao looked at the flames all over the city and sighed, "Nascent Soul was born two years ago, but it has suddenly become an uproar recently. I'm worried that the Taoist priests are doing something strange again. At that time, there will inevitably be a loss of lives, and even if we can’t recover the Nascent Soul, we still have to find out what is going on so that we can be on guard.”
Luo Xiaoliu'er looked sad, "The world has been ruined like this, why don't the Taoist priests give up?"
"Kun Chaos is invisible, and the winner is still undecided among the strong. The real war has not yet come. I hope mortals can still have time..."
Mortals gathered around, and Nascent Soul fired fireballs at random. The sound was amazing, but it was not accurate. Most of the residents escaped. At this time, they walked out of their hiding places one after another, like a group of wandering souls heading towards the entrance of the underworld.
Luo Xiaoliu'er quietly replaced the bronze mirror in his hand with an iron ruler.
"The God of Land is gone." An old man said blankly.
"Our home is also destroyed." A woman cried.
There was thick smoke billowing in the underworld, and the sound of collapse could be heard from time to time. It was obvious that no one could live in the underworld anymore. More than half of the properties of the residents of Divine Blessing City were inside and were destroyed.
At dawn, more than 400 residents burst into tears. A young man suddenly jumped out, pointed at Yao Xiaowei and Luo Xiaoliu'er and said loudly: "It was the two of them who caused the harm. It would be fine if they didn't come. They only came one night. There is nothing left, they are actually here to explore the way for the casual cultivators."
The crowd was in a fragile state and could easily be incited. Dozens of people immediately gathered around, asking for an explanation.
Luo Xiaoliuer pointed at the ground with an iron ruler in his hand. Along with the explosion, a plume of yellow smoke rose up. Everyone was timid and gave in one after another.
"Idiot, if we were fellow cultivators, we would have left with them a long time ago. Why are we still here? Is it possible that you still have treasures here waiting for us to search?" Luo Xiaoliu'er's eyes were bright, and he looked at whoever he was looking at. Backing up, "We came to hunt wolves. When the wolves retreated, tigers came again. Is it because of this that hunting wolves in the past became a crime?"
Everyone was ashamed and speechless. An old man said: "It would have been better not to let the loose cultivators go at that time. It turns out that there are more powerful Taoist priests on top of them. Alas, why did the God of the Earth leave just as he said? No. How can we live with him?"
"Hey, the 'Earth God' didn't kill you all, so he showed mercy. What else do you want? How can you bear to have such an older child?" Luo Xiaoliu'er has seen many selfish mortals. Even so, I still feel that the residents of Divine Blessing City have gone too far.
"It's not that we are cruel, the world is in chaos, everyone is like this, even Taoist priests have broken their oaths and will no longer protect mortals, let alone us ordinary people?" The old man defended, and everyone else nodded in agreement.
Colonel Yao took a step forward and said, "Everyone, please answer me a question. Who is willing to fight alone with me, Brother Luo?"
Everyone shook their heads, "We don't have many young people here. Who can fight with him alone?" "He knows magic, but we don't." "It's enough to fight one out of ten."
Lieutenant Yao smiled and said, "Look, you don't want to fight with the stronger, but you want to compete with the stronger in cruelty? The weak eat the strong, kill innocent people indiscriminately, build their own mountains, and use their power to suppress others, these are the results of the strong. Tao, you can make temporary gains by doing this, but how can you compare with the real strong men in the end? It is only a matter of time before the Taoist priests come to snatch the Yuanying. From the moment you bind the Yuanying with chains, you are destined to do so. One day."
Everyone was speechless. After a while, a woman said: "Can mortals just wait to die?"
"Of course not, but mortals should not go on crooked roads. It is a jungle for the strong. Stop thinking about the land gods, and don't stay in Shenyou City. This place has been cursed and is inauspicious. Pack your things. , Find another place to live, practice more formations, it will be enough to protect yourself."
Everyone sighed and hesitated. Captain Yao squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the pier, ready to leave.
The dock was not far away. After the two got on the boat, the residents of the city were still crying. Luo Xiaoliuer said loudly: "The Yuanying has returned to the Taoist priest. When he learns the magic, he will definitely come back to take revenge. The people who stay here are really waiting for die!"
After everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that some people rushed into the underworld to rescue their belongings, while others went to search for hidden goods in the ruins, and they really wanted to flee the city.
Luo Xiaoliu punted the boat and after sailing out of Li Xu, he couldn't help but said: "Sometimes I really doubt whether mortals are worth saving."
"Don't be too demanding. Mortals are never perfect, but without them, the world would really perish."
"I'm not being harsh, but you don't even want to ask these people for help, do you?"
"I figured it out. You can't ask for help from any mortals. The way of the weak is only for self-protection and not for offense." Colonel Yao paused, "It's time for General Mu to come out."
Luo Xiaoliu'er's face was full of surprise, "Do you know the whereabouts of General Mu? It's been more than two years, and no one has ever seen him."
"He has always been among mortals." Colonel Yao said, his eyes turning as if the person he was looking for was right next to him.
