Chapter 193: The Heavenly Ranking

"Protect the emperor!"

The soldiers and guards around were horrified and guarded the palace tightly.

On the roof, a bunch of crossbows shot at the attacking black crows, but they could not hurt the black crows.

In a flash, the black crows flew over the roof, and with a flap of their huge wings, they easily knocked away a group of soldiers and guards on it.

Just as they were about to lean over and crash into the palace, they saw Duan Fangshuo below flying onto the roof, and his long sword cut out a large piece of hot fire-attributed sword energy, which turned into a circle of large fire rings, sweeping in all directions.

"What a strong sword energy!" Song Changming saw the fire-attributed sword energy from a distance, and his eyes could not help but condense.

Sure enough, there are still strong men under the command of the second prince.

This sword energy is far better than his!

The group of black crows were hit by the fire-attributed sword energy, and most of them fell upside down outside the palace.

But there were also several black crows of 20 to 30 meters in size, resisting Duan Fangshuo's sword energy and flying towards him in flames.

Two large iron claws under their abdomens grabbed Duan Fangshuo's head.

It must be said that this black crow fog beast can withstand this level of sword energy, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary high-level fog beasts.

Song Changming estimated that this group of black crow fog beasts was probably the last trump card in Xiao Yanli's hand.

Xiao Yanli's martial arts cultivation, even if he practiced for another 50 or 60 years, might not have the opportunity to kill the second prince.

Therefore, it is understandable that he took an unconventional approach and used all means to seek revenge.

Of course, understanding is understanding, but Xiao Yanli's fog gold, including the origin of these black crows, is probably not that simple.

According to what Liu Dingsheng said, it is likely that he colluded with the foreign cult and made dark deals with it.

In addition, including charging this mist gold, God knows how many lives were killed to collect the essence and blood, and successfully transform these black crows into mist beasts.

If all this is true, his sins are judged by anyone, I am afraid they are unforgivable.

Everything, just for revenge.

Xiao Yanli has now fallen into extreme paranoia and it is difficult to turn back.

Boom!

With a loud bang, a substantial sword energy like a pillar of fire rushed into the sky, instantly burning the two black crow mist beasts into a dry skeleton.

Duan Fangshuo stood at a corner on the top of the palace, with sword energy lingering around him, and even his eyes were emitting flames, like the arrival of the God of Fire!

"So strong!" Song Changming was once again shocked by the lethality of the opponent's sword energy and was shocked by the opponent's power.

"The former North Territory Flame God Sword! The warrior of the Tianbang back then, I didn't expect that he would become a royal running dog now!" A master of Qi training brought by Xiao Yanli suddenly shouted loudly.

Duan Fangshuo had a cold face and remained silent. He just stared at the group of Qi-refining enemies below and the remaining black soul crow fog beasts in the sky.

"Heavenly Ranking Warrior." Song Changming suddenly realized.

No wonder this person gave him such a strong feeling. Just the four words "Heavenly Ranking Warrior" made people feel the heavy pressure coming.

Even if it was just a "retired player" who had been on the Heavenly Ranking in the past, it was enough to shock many warriors.

After all, being on the Heavenly Ranking itself is an absolute symbol of military power.

Song Changming was originally quite optimistic about Xiao Yanli's carefully planned assassination. At least it went smoothly before, recruited such a large group of people, warriors, and successfully sneaked into the county city.

He even asked Gu Wenhui to cooperate with him to distract the attention of the second prince.

Everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

Until he met Duan Fangshuo.

No wonder the second prince trusted this person so much and put all his safety on this person.

This person does have the strength to be the last gate god and protect the second prince.

In a blink of an eye, the strongest black soul crows were killed one after another.

This made Xiao Yanli look extremely ugly, and even his breathing became much more rapid.

He couldn't accept that after so much preparation, he would face the result of failure.

The Qi refining masters he brought with him saw such a strong Duan Fangshuo, and they had a faint idea of ​​retreating in their hearts.

They gathered together for various reasons and wanted to kill the second prince, but none of them was as paranoid and crazy as Xiao Yanli.

If they saw that things were impossible, they would not risk their lives to do it.

Xiao Yanli also realized that the situation was unfavorable and was about to be defeated by Duan Fangshuo alone!

"You forced me!"

Xiao Yanli gritted his teeth, his face was hideous and hysterical.

He swallowed the mist gold in his hand in one gulp, and at the same time, the last few black soul crows instantly lost control, circled in the air, and flew towards him.

Xiao Yanli opened his arms wide, looking crazy.

The next moment, one of the fastest black soul crows bit his neck directly, flapped its wings, and flew into the air.

The remaining black soul crows followed closely, biting Xiao Yanli's other limbs, and ate him up in the air!

This bloody scene was shocking.

Song Changming didn't expect that when he saw Xiao Yanli again, he would end up in such a miserable end.

And this seemed to be the ending he chose.

After eating Xiao Yanli's flesh and blood, the last five black soul crows were like blooming flowers, and waves of burning mist energy emanated from their bodies, which was more intense than before.

Then, the five black soul crows underwent a second mutation.

More and more messy feathers grew out of them, making them look like black and flying coal balls.

Among these feathers, strange black tentacles floated, like long whips, or poisonous black snakes.

Judging from the appearance, they have little to do with the original crows, and are more like some kind of deformed monsters.

Although Xiao Yanli's control was gone, these five black soul crows seemed to have inherited Xiao Yanli's last obsession of revenge, and they still went towards the palace.

Duan Fangshuo frowned, and the big knife in his hand cut out a chain of fiery red sword energy in the air, constantly slashing these second-time mutated black soul crow fog beasts.

Under the night, it was like a series of fireworks exploding.

This time, Duan Fangshuo's sword energy was no longer invincible, and it could no longer be directly chopped and killed on these five mutated black soul crows.

However, when these five coal balls approached, the tentacles were like snake eels, constantly stabbing or rolling towards Duan Fangshuo.

Duan Fangshuo swung his sword and chopped, but he could only cut out a large area of ​​burning mist energy, unable to cut off these tentacles, let alone kill these mutated black soul crows.

"What the hell is this!"

Everyone present was shocked by these flying coal balls.

The burning mist energy gathered more and more, and continued to spread in the air, like a large cumulus cloud.

Duan Fangshuo suddenly rushed out from under the cover of the burning mist energy.

The five black soul crows that could not be killed suddenly turned around and crashed into the palace from the top.

A large area of ​​the palace roof collapsed immediately.

Duan Fangshuo saw this and his face changed.

He thought that the hatred of these five difficult black soul crows was all on him, but he didn't expect them to suddenly make a feint and kill into the palace.

He was afraid that the second prince inside would make a mistake, so he didn't dare to neglect it and rushed in immediately.

Soon, the sword energy in the palace was surging, and then Duan Fangshuo was seen holding a person in his hand and jumping out of the broken window on the other side of the palace.

Song Changming could see clearly that the other party was wearing a royal robe, and he knew that the other party was the second prince.

"Finally he showed up!" Song Changming murmured, and slowly stood up.

The five coal balls followed closely and flew out, chasing the second prince with screams.

It seemed that they were not chasing the black soul crow, but the dead Xiao Yanli.

In a blink of an eye, the black soul crow, Duan Fangshuo, and the second prince disappeared.

Only a group of Qi training masters were still fighting.

Song Changming thought about it, and flew quietly into the guard palace.

The huge guard palace was destroyed by the battle just now, and it was in a mess. There were also many dead bodies of maids and servants on the ground.

These bodies were all drained of their essence and blood, and they died dry and rotten.

Song Changming didn't care about these bodies and the broken things on the ground. He glanced around and saw some calligraphy and paintings, which looked quite valuable.

There were also some glass lamps, which looked valuable, but it was a pity that these precious things had been broken.

"Tsk, what a waste." Song Changming, who came here to make money, sighed with some regret.

"Who is it!" Suddenly, a retainer of the second prince rushed into the guard palace. Seeing Song Changming, who came from an unknown origin, he shouted and drew his sword to stab.

Now that he was in the palace, he was either a guard or an enemy. There was no need to think about it.

Song Changming didn't care. He slapped the retainer with his backhand, and his eyes were clear in an instant. Without hesitation, he rolled and crawled away.

Seeing that this guard palace didn't seem to be a place where treasures were hidden, Song Changming didn't stay any longer and flew away.

He was not in a hurry to find the whereabouts of the second prince. He planned to go to other places in the palace first while the chaos was going on.
