Chapter 442: It Is Difficult to Distinguish Between Truth and Illusion

Seeing Marshal Li, who seemed to be descending from heaven, so hesitant and at a loss, and hearing Kong Xiao's urging, the soldiers beside him, who had been as cold as water, could not help but get excited and hurried to one side.

Kong Xiao sneered in his heart. He did not expect Li Yan to be so sentimental. This was something he could not have expected.

Thinking about Li Yan's decisive killing and taking life as grass, he did not know where Li Yan's weakness was. He had no choice just now.

And Kong Xiao did not know who the jade ring belonged to. As he said, he just thought that the jade ring was extraordinary, and it would be good even if it was left to himself. He did not expect it to have such a miraculous effect.

But at this moment, the soldiers beside him were in chaos. Kong Xiao quickly collected his thoughts and moved his eyes away from Li Yan, who was standing with a sword below. He was also surprised when he saw it.

Because at this time, a man and a horse suddenly rushed out from one side of the city. The man on the horse was wearing silver armor, covering his entire body, and holding a long spear.

This person appeared suddenly, and came at an extremely fast speed. When all the people on the city wall focused their attention on Li Yan under the city, the silver-armored man had already appeared.

When they saw this person again, he came as fast as the wind, and in a flash he had already flown to the side of Li Yan under the city. ??

Then the silver-armored man hung the long spear in his hand on the horse, and with the other hand, he lightly stretched out his monkey arm, and just grabbed Li Yan in one go, and then laid him on the horse's back. At this time, Li Yan was still absent-minded and let this person do whatever he wanted.

Then, the silver-armored man whistled lightly, and the warhorse under his crotch was spun on the spot, neighed for a long time, and then ran away.

All this happened so quickly that everyone on the city was a little dazed. Then Kong Xiao shouted loudly, "Strong crossbow, attack the enemy!"

Kong Xiao didn't know who the person who suddenly appeared was, but he didn't recognize him by looking at his figure and some of his face exposed outside the helmet.

But as long as Li Yan survived, let alone the internal and external cooperation, even if he was in Meng State in the future, no one could protect him. Li Yan's martial arts were too terrible.

As soon as he spoke, the silver-armored man who was riding away actually slowed down his horse immediately. Seeing someone was about to shoot a strong crossbow, he suddenly turned around and saw a cold light appear.

Kong Xiao was shocked, but soon saw that it was an arrow, and he just smiled coldly.

The man had already run out for more than ten feet, not to mention that the wall of Qingshan Pass itself was thirty feet high. This man actually wanted to hurt him with a cold arrow. Could it be that he really thought he was Li Yan?

At this distance, even if he let the arrow attack, he would be exhausted when he reached it. Although he thought so in his heart, he dared not neglect it.

Because the arrow came so fast, it was almost in front of him when he saw it clearly. Kong Xiao's body flashed to the side, and the long sword in his hand was filled with internal force to cut down the arrow shaft.

<

br>  The next moment, as expected, his sword hit the arrow shaft with one strike, and Kong Xiao shouted "Break it for me!"

But suddenly he felt a strange force coming from his sword, which shook his sword to the side, and then the arrow disappeared.

Kong Xiao was shocked, and when he was about to look for it, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and then he heard exclamations from all around, "General Kong..." "My Lord..."

Then, an endless darkness surged in front of him.

…………

The Bright Fire Kirin was in a state of depression. It squatted in front of the red gate, staring at the passage emitting black smoke with its big eyes. It had just tried to enter for the fourth time this month, and was still pushed away by an irresistible repulsive force.

"It's been a year and two months, how come that guy hasn't died yet? This is impossible, this is impossible. Even if a fake Dan cultivator cannot pass the level successfully within half a year, his soul will definitely not be able to withstand the erosion of the black smoke and heat waves in the channel, and his soul will be annihilated long ago."

The Bright Fire Kirin thought a little dazedly. The most terrifying thing in the dark channel is not the heat and black smoke, but the boundless loneliness and long-term confinement of the body, which will drive people crazy and insane.

Ninety percent of the cultivators who died in the black channel died of the collapse of confidence. They either went crazy and committed suicide, or fell into a state of suspended animation in their subconscious, and then they really lost their lives.

However, Li Yan has been in there for more than a year. The Bright Fire Kirin has tried to enter the black channel several times a day at the beginning, and now it has tried once every five or six days without giving up, but all of them were bounced away.

Today, this Bright Fire Kirin has lost its mind, because the benefits brought to it by that wisp of fire are too great, so great that it thinks that as long as it swallows all the red flames in the fan, it can be free from the shackles of the "Fire Palace" forever.

…………

In the pitch-black passage, you can't see your hand in front of you. Only hot black smoke like boiling water is floating around. Li Yan lies quietly, still with one hand raised above his head and one hand hanging down to his legs. His legs are slightly bent, maintaining a crawling posture.

At this time, Li Yan's body has no life on the surface. His whole body has become thin and withered, with only a layer of dry skin wrapped around the skeleton, as if it has been dried.

Only a messy black hair shows a trace of life. Of course, all this cannot be seen by anyone in this dark passage.

…………

Li Yan looked ahead, his heart

He was confused and sad. He had just seen the jade ring under Qingshanai City, but why was he standing in the void again? There was a distant and endless starry sky all around him, and even a large area of ​​dark night sky under his feet.

This made Li Yan lose his direction. There were starry skies in all directions, and he didn't know how he got here and where he was going.

"Aying, Xiaogong, Xiaomeng..." Li Yan was clear-headed for a while, and then in a trance. At this moment, his mind suddenly became clear, which reminded him of his wife and children.

"No, I have to go to the city. They must be fine! Where did Dong Lingmin go?" At that moment, he remembered something again.

Looking at the endless starry sky around him, he roared like a tiger, raised his strength, and stepped hard under his feet. Since the surroundings were the same, then his feet were the place he could actually touch.

Then he would crush it and break the cage, but Li Yan only felt his legs and feet were weak. The internal force that could move mountains and rivers in the past was completely gone. His dantian was empty, and his feet were soft and powerless.

For a moment, Li Yan panicked. Strength was the source of his confidence. He never thought that one day he would lose this power to dominate the world.

For a moment, his confidence that had always existed disappeared. He became more and more panicked. He looked at the endless starry sky around him and began to run wildly. He wanted to escape from here. Perhaps it was this strange space that made him lose the invincible power he should have.

Li Yan didn't know how long he had been running. He just felt that he was getting more and more tired, his mouth was getting more and more thirsty, and his body was exhausted to the extreme. ??

The stars around him, which were originally like a dream, are now like the eyes of ghosts in the dark night, flashing cold light, making people feel cold all over their backs when they look at them.

It seemed that as long as Li Yan turned around, he would see countless ghosts rushing from behind him, and they would laugh sinisterly, filling this silent and maddening space with the blood of death.

In the end, Li Yan was too weak to run anymore and could only stagger forward step by step. Just like that, he didn't know how long he had been walking, one month or two months, he didn't know.

He could only move forward little by little with his lead-like steps, until finally, he fell heavily in the starry sky.

At the moment after he fell, he felt that he was still walking, because his face was facing the ground, as if he was looking up at the starry sky.

He was going to die here after all, but he finally understood one thing.

"This damn God is playing tricks on me. It turns out that I have already died. I am just a helpless soul wandering around. Since I am dead, it is good to send me to the Yama Palace. At least I can flip a few times in the oil pan and listen to the sound!"

Li Yan thought helplessly. He had killed too many people in his life. He did not expect to be able to step into the fairyland after death. Even reincarnation quietly might be a luxury.

It was too quiet here, which made him feel extremely depressed. He wanted to yell a few times, but he opened his mouth several times and found helplessly that he could not make a sound at all.

"Then let it be. Anyway, I can't get out. Haha, this is also good. Maybe I can meet Ah Ying, Xiao Gong, Xiao Meng and others again."

"Puh, phuh, phuh, they are naturally fine. Why do we need to meet again? Why do we need to meet again..."

Just like this, Li Yan thought randomly, all kinds of strange thoughts came to his mind, his consciousness became more and more blurred, and all kinds of thoughts slowly left him.

Just when all of Li Yan's thoughts were about to dissipate, "Old Five, Old Five..." A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and Li Yan couldn't help but shudder.

"Is it mother?" Li Yan opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at the starry sky around him. The surroundings were still empty and boundless.

"Hehe, it's an illusion again. Since I was stationed at the border, I haven't been home to visit my parents for a long time."

Li Yan stared at the starry sky in a daze. He felt that he could hear his mother's voice before he died, even if it was just an illusion, he was very satisfied. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve.

Thinking of his parents, Li Yan's heart suddenly calmed down. "Xiao Gong, Xiao Meng and others must be fine. There are also Li Er and Li Si to protect them. They will also miss their parents. I can't die, I can't die, I want to get out!"

…………

In the dark passage, Li Yan, who had been lying for an unknown period of time, suddenly moved his body slightly, and then returned to calm. After a pause, a suppressed roar spread in the black passage. Although it was dry and hoarse, it lasted for a long time.

Li Yan shook his head gently. He found that there were tears on his face. Although they were quickly evaporated by the hot air, he could feel the tears that had once flowed freely.

He wanted to wipe away the tears that no longer existed, but found that his hands were bound up and down. Only his right hand, which was raised upward, could barely touch his head.

"Where is this again?" Li Yan felt that everything changed too quickly. He was surrounded by a starry sky just now, but now he was in this dark place again. He felt dizzy and didn't know why.

After a long time, Li Yan seemed to have returned to his soul, and a flash of lightning pierced his mind.

"This is the black passage in the 'Huoyan Palace', but those before..."

Li Yan suddenly remembered what he had experienced. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was true or false. He even felt that he was in the black passage in the "Huoyan Palace" and it was just a dream. He was indeed a general.
