Chapter 1390: Scheming Against Each Other
Escape did not prevent killing. The two brothers fought side by side, without any martial ethics, and stabbed randomly.
Poor Lu Ping had a lot of skills, but he didn't even have time to fight back, and died in a very aggrieved way.
The hall with flames was full of broken tiles and ruins, but neither Xue Zongwu nor the black-armored leader made a sound after the explosion. There was also a loyal guard who carefully avoided the entanglement of the white fire and looked for the whereabouts of the lord.
He saw a figure similar to Xue Zongwu emerging from the smoke in front of him. Just as he was about to approach, the figure took two steps to the front, and his light armor was shining black under the reflection of the fire - this was not the lord at all.
In just two rounds, he was pinched by the opponent's neck and broke with a snap.
Under the light of the fire, the shadow of the black-armored man dragged back very long and jumped on the ruins.
Just as the guard died, the shadow of the black-armored man suddenly stopped moving.
The hall was on fire, and the flames were in various shapes and forms. He Lingchuan's shadow dragged on the ground seemed to be firmly glued to the ground, and his own movements were completely solidified.
His body and shadow were frozen, and he couldn't move at all.
The process was also very short, lasting less than a breath and a half.
But the billowing smoke behind him was suddenly disturbed, and Xue Zongwu appeared here out of thin air!
He had been lurking and waiting for the opportunity since he landed in the hall, but the other party was also very cunning and was reluctant to show up.
The surrounding smoke and dust were rolling and the flames were soaring into the sky. For the two of them, it was the most suitable environment for concealment.
Others couldn't stand the burning of the white fire and had to run away early, but the two of them didn't have this worry. Xue Zongwu was protected by the crouching shoulder beast, and the black-armored man was not afraid of the flames at all!
As for the annoying thick smoke, the two could ignore it for a short time.
Until the guards came over, the black-armored man couldn't help but kill the guards, but his whereabouts were also seen through by Xue Zongwu.
Xue Zongwu had been waiting for this opportunity. He has a magical power called "Catching the Wind and Shadow", which can suppress the enemy by fixing his shadow.
This magical power is extremely difficult to learn. He practiced for more than ten years and could only freeze the opponent for a breath at most.
But for a master, this is enough.
He did not use a purple gold hammer to attack He Lingchuan, but a long sword. The blade was slightly black and matte, without the brilliance of autumn water, and did not even make a sound of wind, but a burning short wood falling from the air was broken in two before it touched it.
The black blade passed over the back of the black-armored man's neck, and it was so fast that it seemed like it had never existed.
But Xue Zongwu really hit it out, and the feeling of cutting into the flesh was also very real. The opponent's armor looked very evil at first glance. To be on the safe side, he still cut his throat with a knife.
Did it work?
He killed the "Nine Nether Emperor", the black-armored man who was nosy and pretended to be a ghost?
The opponent's head was cut off, and his body shook a few times before falling to the ground with a bang.
A small wisp of white fire slipped along the crack in the ground and burned it endlessly.
This corpse was not burned well, and it turned black in two and a half seconds.
"Emperor Jiuyou?" Xue Zongwu spat on the ground, "Nothing more!"
But he was relieved in his heart. This weirdo, he couldn't be killed without a trick.
The head of the black-armored man rolled to the ground ten feet away, the mask fell off, and blood flowed all over the ground.
He was still a little curious, walked over to pick up the head, wanting to see the true face of this so-called "legend".
This face was unexpectedly young, no more than twenty years old.
Xue Zongwu felt that this face was familiar at a glance?
Where had I seen it before, where?
He was thinking, and a warning suddenly came to his mind:
Danger!
Then he heard the sound of pressing the trigger.
A sleeve arrow pierced the thick fog and flew from the side, fast, steady, accurate and ruthless.
Then a knife came out of the ruins and stabbed him in the waist and abdomen.
If it hits, Xue Zongwu will immediately become a human skewer.
At the critical moment, he turned around to block the knife first. He couldn't avoid the sleeve arrow, so he had to turn his head to reduce the damage.
With the protection of Yuanli, these injuries were not fatal to him.
He blocked with both hands, but the opponent's strength still made him sink his arms, and he barely stood firm with the strength of his waist and legs.
As for the sleeve arrow, it pierced a hole in the left side of his neck without hesitation, and then went forward and out.
The blood from his neck gushed out all of a sudden, but it didn't splash in streams - he deliberately avoided the carotid artery.
At the same time, he also had a protective magic weapon on his body that broke with a "pop".
As soon as they fought, Xue Zongwu also saw who the sneak attacker was:
Another black-armored man!
The same height, the same armor, the same dragon-headed mask, and even the same long sword.
No, this is the "Nine Nether Emperor".
He just beheaded a fake.
Xue Zongwu didn't feel creepy. He had just used the clone technique. What's so strange about others being proficient in this magical power?
But he looked at the black-armored man with a strange look: "You, you are Yang..."
He finally remembered where he had seen this man before!
By the river, at the dock. This man was the leader of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce. The king also asked him to sell the red valley horse to this He!
It's ridiculous. How could this so-called black-armored leader who is supposed to act on behalf of heaven be the leader of a chamber of commerce? !
This man's motives are suspicious and his heart is worthy of death!
Xue Zongwu's voice was a little broken because he had a leak in his neck, so he couldn't shout loudly.
Before he finished speaking, there was a muffled sound, and the other half of the beam collapsed and fell down, covering his words:
"... You are the leader of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce!"
The hall is now in such a terrible condition that it cannot accommodate any living creatures. The flames all over the ground are nothing, but the most terrifying thing is the choking smoke. Taking two more puffs can cause people to faint.
Xue Zongwu activated several magic tools on his body to filter out the toxicity of the smoke. But he could only use his inner breath, because he had to resist the urge to cough every time he took a breath.
There was a hole in his neck, and he sealed the surrounding acupuncture points, but coughing hard would definitely cause blood to spurt out.
In such a harsh environment, both sides were fighting for life and death. Although Xue Zongwu was injured, the wound on his neck was not fatal, and he could still fight by running his inner breath.
As time went on, he felt that his physical strength and true power were also rapidly draining away, as if his neck was a bottomless pit.
The most terrifying thing was that the ghosts that were originally hovering around He Lingchuan were no longer harmless. They showed their hideous faces and pounced madly on Xue Zongwu's wounds!
After touching the wounds, they desperately gnawed at the flesh and blood, drilled into the meridians, and brought him incomparable pain.
The pain was like soaking every nerve in boiling water, causing veins on his forehead to throb non-stop.
Not to mention that Xue Zongwu was busy fighting and couldn't spare a hand, even if he tried to stop them, he found that he couldn't stop them!
Yuanli had no effect on them.
This was weird. It was common sense that Yuanli could eliminate evil spirits, so why couldn't it eliminate these ghosts?
