Chapter 168 Canyon battle (8000)
This knife was extremely fast, and it didn't explode into pieces. In the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of Yingzhou Ling.
Not only that, the moment Xu Bai started, Wuhua didn't hide it, and quickly shot out, and the fist covered with light landed in front of Yingzhouling, sealing the other side of Yingzhouling.
"Om..."
The sound of vibrating wings came out, and Miao Xiao released a bunch of Gu worms, blocking all the gaps exposed by the two attacks.
In less than a few breaths, Yingzhouling was trapped, unable to move at all. As long as he moved a little, he would face a violent storm.
Ye Zi didn't make a move, but she was always ready to flick the light in her hand.
As long as Yingzhou Ling dares to resist, she will immediately interfere with Yingzhou Ling's soul.
A trace of cold sweat dripped from Yingzhouling's forehead, his face became extremely pale, but he still forced himself to pretend to be calm and opened his mouth tentatively.
"Master Xu, what do you guys mean by this? Are you going to murder the court officials? I don't remember anything that offended you."
There is no flaw in the words, it sounds ordinary, even in the calm words, there is a questioning tone.
This feeling is like the anger shown after being controlled by someone inexplicably.
"The acting skills are quite high." Xu Bai smiled and said, "You know what I mean, it's better to say it earlier."
Ying Zhouling blinked, and the beard on his chin trembled slightly: "What acting skills, and what do you want me to say? I told you everything I know!"
"Master Win, do you still have to play dumb?" Wu Hua said.
Although they don't have any evidence, Wu Hua absolutely believes in Xu Bai. At least for now, every decision Xu Bai makes is correct, and the Feng Shui calculations point to this direction, so there is no possibility of accidents.
"I really don't know what you are talking about. Do you know that what you are doing now is murdering the court officials, no matter what your identities are, it violates the laws of the Great Chu Kingdom." Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became tougher.
This group of people inexplicably attacked themselves, so that they did not dare to resist, but they did not immediately produce evidence to prove it.
It shows that these guys have no evidence, and everything is just their speculation.
Since there is no evidence, he is not afraid.
Ling Zhou felt that he still lacked vigilance, perhaps because he had been sitting in this position for a long time.
He is a master of the second rank. If he had been vigilant just now, it would be impossible to be restrained in an instant.
The other party did the mental calculation without intention, and he really didn't react.
Xu Bai smiled and said: "Because you think we have no evidence, have you become hardened? Do you really think that I can't pry things out of your mouth without evidence?"
Yingzhou Ling is still playing stupid: "What do you mean? I have no problem at all. What evidence do I need?"
Joke, if you say it, you are dead. If you don’t say it, he can still live. Even if all his hands and feet are cut off, as long as he doesn’t say it, there is no evidence, and Xu Bai will have to be buried with him at that time.
Xu Bai didn't talk nonsense with him anymore, he flicked the blade vigorously and played a melodious music.
The next moment, Yingzhou Ling was unscathed, and just stared at Xu Bai in a daze.
Xu Bai frowned: "Isn't it useful?"
Ying Zhouling smiled and said: "Master Xu, I think you are really superstitious. I know the skills of mind and soul. I am so many years older than you, and I have already reached the double second rank level."
Xu Bai: "..."
Good guy, although Yingzhou Ling is old, he can reach the level of the second rank in both disciplines, which proves that his talent is not low.
If you only practice one course, you may have reached the realm of transformation.
but…
Since this guy has a secondary skill of the soul type, he probably has a secret and doesn't want to be known by this type of people.
And it's a big secret, otherwise how could it be possible to do such a self-destructive thing?
"Wuhua." Xu Bai suddenly said, "Such a stubborn, dead duck with a stubborn mouth, is there any way for you Supervisor Tiansi?"
Xu Bai could also see the behavior of this guy just now, even if he was tortured to extract a confession, he would not speak even if he was beaten to death by the order of Yingzhou.
But it doesn't matter, he is not fighting alone now, Wuhua has been in Tiansi for so long, there must be some way to extract a confession.
Wu Hua thought that Xu Bai had something important to do, but when he heard that he wanted to torture to extract a confession, he was slightly taken aback, and then answered honestly: "In the Department of Supervision, there is a department dedicated to extorting confessions by torture. Not very good at it, but I can write a letter to the top and ask them to send someone over, after all, the situation we have here is a bit complicated."
"As for whether it is possible to pry his mouth open, I have never heard of it. People who enter the Tianjian Division alive will not open their mouths."
"To use a sentence that Xu Benefactor often said, it is called professionalism."
Xu Bai smiled.
major?
very good.
He wants professional people now.
When Ying Zhouling heard Wuhua say this, his eyes became a little protruding, and the expression of fear was obvious on his face.
Everyone knows that the people in Jiantiansi have a lot of tricks, and no one who goes in will tell the truth. Even if a tough guy goes in, he will become a soft-footed shrimp when he comes out.
Wuhua continued: "But if we want to call someone over, there will be a long delay in the middle, and we are afraid of accidents."
Yingzhou Ling was slightly relieved.
It takes a long time in the middle, so it can be delayed for a long time. Maybe there will be a solution during this time.
Wuhua said again: "But it doesn't matter. When I came out, I considered these things, so I specially asked for a bottle of pill from the person in charge of interrogating Tiansi. As long as I eat it, he will torture everything. gone."
"I heard that as long as it is below the mortal state, no one can hold it."
Ying Zhouling's complexion changed again, becoming even paler.
In just a short while, his expression changed again and again.
There are too many ups and downs in life, and he can't stand it at his age.
Wuhua took out a bottle of medicine from her bosom, and finally took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Xu Bai.
Xu Bai smiled, opened the top stopper, poured out one, and prepared to be subdued by Yingzhou Order.
Yingzhouling shouted: "Xu Bai, let me remind you that you are abusing lynching against the court officials, and I must report to His Majesty."
"I put a knife on your neck, do you still care about it?" Xu Bai smiled.
A elixir crossed the trajectory and fell into Yingzhouling's mouth in mid-air.
The next moment, Ying Zhouling suddenly covered his neck, sweating profusely, and his eyes gradually became lax.
"Benefactor Xu, within an hour, you can answer as long as you ask." Wu Hua stretched out her hand.
"Snapped!"
Xu Bai put away the medicine bottle and gave Wuhua a high five.
No flowers: "?"
I'm here to get the medicine back. What do you mean by high five with me?
Xu Baidao: "Brother Wuhua is really interesting. The medicines are delivered bottle by bottle."
No flower:
I didn’t say that you will be given away bottle by bottle!
Looking at Xu Bai's expression, he knew that his bottle of medicine was gone.
After all... this is not the first time Xu Bai has done this.
Forget it, forget it, the big deal is that I have run out.
Wuhua sighed again.
Xu Bai looked at the slack-eyed Ling Zhou, and asked, "Tell me what you know."
Yingzhouling was already under the effect of the medicine at this time, and after hearing Xu Bai's question, he quickly revealed the matter.
"The Gu God Sect wants to kill you, not only that, but also throw a large area where you are in the city of people."
People trick the market?
Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
This is not the first time he has heard of this name. After death, all creatures in this world may turn into strange things.
After the death of the monster, it turns into a strange monster, and there is a very small chance of entering the monster city.
The weirdness that people become after death is to enter the city of human ghosts.
Of course, the probability of this is extremely small.
If it's not weird, after entering those two places, you will soon lose your mind and become an idiot. On the contrary, those who enter the world in those two places will also become idiots. This is the remaining weirdness, irrational reason.
Xu Bai had been to Yaogui City, and under the protection of Goldfinger, he did not lose his soul. He even fought with the city lord of that area, and even killed that city lord.
After everything is strange, after entering those two places, they will have a long lifespan, and they will never be able to improve their strength. What strength was before death, what strength is after death.
"I knew it, it's impossible to come, otherwise I'm afraid that the whole city will become idiots." Xu Bai thought to himself.
According to the meaning of the Yingzhou Order just now, he wanted to drag himself and the area centered on himself into the city of people.
As for how to procrastinate, he suspects that it has something to do with the fact that he has already become a mark, and the mark is that he has been to Yaogui City. When he was in Fengling Mansion, he probably had a mark.
"What's the use of that book?" Xu Bai continued to ask.
"Once upon a time, in order to exterminate the geniuses of the human race, the demon clan planned to kill them, so they set up the Five Elements Demon Altar Formation."
"Although the back is destroyed, the Lihuo Altar exists in Lingyun Prefecture, and the location of the Lihuo Altar is hidden in the ancient poetry collection."
"I'm a scholar, and I'm good at finding these things, so I was arranged by them to find the location. So far, I have arrived, but there are still some parts that I haven't studied thoroughly."
"That's how to let everyone die there, including Gu Shenjiao."
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.
When he was in Fengling Mansion, it was the wreckage of Fenshuitan, and he also learned the water adaptation method with the help of the wreckage. He didn't expect that there was another wreckage in Lingyun Prefecture.
He felt that he was infinitely close to the truth now, so he continued to ask.
"Where is it from the altar of fire? Why do you want them all to be wiped out?"
When Ling Zhou heard this, his eyes showed disgust.
"That location is... in the Rifting Cloud Valley twenty miles north of Lingyun Prefecture."
"As for why...they have a handle on me. Not long after I took office, when I was drunk, I killed a girl..."
"I don't want to be threatened by them, I let them all die, so that I am the order of a state here again."
"Unfortunately, I didn't find it."
…
Speaking of this, Yingzhou Ling stopped talking, as if he had finished speaking.
Xu Bai asked again, Yingzhouling just shook his head, expressing that he didn't know anything else.
As for what the Yingzhou order did, to be honest, Xu Bai is already very strong now. After all, after experiencing the incident with the woman who collected the body, he can't think about it.
"Can it be killed directly?" Xu Bai asked.
Wuhua nodded and said, "Yes."
"Oh?" Xu Bai was rather surprised: "Just because we heard what he said, we can kill him directly without substantive evidence?"
Wu Hua clasped his hands together and said: "Master Xu, there are many talented people in Tianjian Division, some of them are very proficient in the business of cause and effect, and cause and effect are very mysterious. I know, and they can figure it out."
"So that's the case." Xu Bai nodded, then pointed to Yingzhou Ling, and said, "Wake him up."
Wuhua nodded, raised her right hand, and slapped Yingzhouling on the face.
This way of unlocking the effect of the medicine is truly unique.
Accompanied by a crisp sound, Ying Zhouling woke up and finally knew what he had done. His face became extremely pale, he was sweating profusely, his legs were weak, and he sat down on the ground.
"I…"
He wanted to speak, but before he could speak, the bright knife light suddenly lit up.
Ying Zhouling felt a pain in his neck. After touching it with his hand, he found that his hand was covered with blood, and then his sight was deflected...
A head fell to the ground, and the blood stained the ground red.
Since Wuhua said he could kill, let's kill it directly.
The people present didn't think there was anything wrong, so they didn't care about it.
"Let's go, go and see the Rifting Cloud Valley." Xu Bai put the knife back into its sheath.
What should come will always come.
Now that you already know the purpose of the other party, then go and see what the other party wants to do.
Some things are not something that you delay, the other party will not do it. On the contrary, the more you delay, the greater the danger.
Without hesitation, everyone followed Xu Bai and walked towards Rifting Cloud Valley.
But before they walked out the door, a woman stopped in the middle.
The woman has changed into a new set of clothes, but the scars on her face are still obvious. She is the woman from the corpse collection line.
"I want to go with you."
There was a hint of timidity in the voice.
Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry about the killing of the state magistrate, you just need to explain. Before Supervisor Tiansi came, the people in the state government dare not do anything to you."
The woman shook her head, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "You said before that our business can deal with them, maybe I... can help, you can help me avenge, I hope to repay you."
As she spoke, she seemed to be remembering the past, she raised her hand unconsciously, and touched the scar on her face, there was still an unbearable pain deep in her eyes.
No matter how hard she tried to hide it, she had experienced that kind of thing, so she wouldn't be able to turn back in a while.
Xu Bai fell into silence.
The woman continued: "Don't worry, I won't drag you down, I..."
"Okay." Xu Bai interrupted the woman and said, "But I can't fully guarantee your safety, you have to be clear about this matter."
The corpse collector restrains the Gu God Sect, after all, the Gu God Sect raises Gu with corpses.
However, no one here knows how to restrain himself, including this woman.
Xu Bai felt that if he brought it, it might have a miraculous effect.
But as a person, he always puts ugly words first when he does things, so let's make it clear first that it may not guarantee safety. As for whether to go or not, it is up to the woman to make her own decision.
The woman nodded vigorously: "I know, I know..."
"Let's go then."
Time waits for no one, Xu Bai took the first step, and everyone followed behind, leaving Lingyun Prefecture directly, walking towards the direction of Rifting Cloud Valley...
Cracked Cloud Valley is a gorge twenty miles north of Lingyun Prefecture. This gorge got its name because it looks like a cloud that has been split open. It looks really spectacular from the outside.
But in this era, no matter how spectacular a place is, it is remote and no one visits, so it seems inaccessible, except for some wild beasts and birds, few people come here.
When Xu Bai and others arrived, everything was normal here.
There are mountains on both sides, and there is a huge depression in the middle, which constitutes the characteristics of the Rift Cloud Valley. The forest in the depression is dense and looks like a vibrant scene, and the mountains on both sides are also full of various plants.
Standing at the entrance of Rifting Cloud Valley, Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the high canyon in front of him.
Just looking from the outside, there is nothing unusual here, but it looks like a place with beautiful scenery.
"Shall we go in and have a look?" Wuhua asked.
Xu Bai nodded: "Be careful."
Since you are here, you must be cautious.
Xu Bai walked in the front, with Wuhua in the middle, Ye Zi and Miao Xiao at the end, and the woman stood beside Xu Bai.
Come all the way, after a little communication, Xu Bai also knew the woman's name.
-Chen Ting.
"Do you feel any difference?" Xu Bai asked Chen Ting.
Chen Ting shook her head blankly: "I don't have any other feelings, but I always feel panicked."
Panic?
Xu Bai didn't ask any more questions, because Chen Ting didn't know the reason. He took the lead and stepped into the canyon first.
After entering, a gust of wind blew, and the temperature seemed to drop a bit.
Xu Bai glanced around, everything around him was normal, except for the temperature.
There is usually only one road in a grand canyon like this, and everyone walks along this road ahead.
After walking for about a while, half an hour later, the abnormality appeared.
Xu Bai originally thought that at least some small monsters would come, just like playing games, first clear the small monsters, then fight the final big monsters, and finally fight the boss.
Unexpectedly, the exception would come so quickly.
There was a burning smell coming from the surroundings, and then, with the cold wind blowing, it spread to Xu Bai's position.
The flame suddenly appeared. At first, the flame was small, like a candle, but soon, with the cold wind blowing, the flame suddenly became larger, and the surrounding area became a sea of flames.
The fire takes advantage of the wind, and where there is wind, the flames spread extremely quickly, but so far, it seems that everyone is not in a panic.
There was no trace of the Gu God Sect, but the flames in front of him must be related to the Gu God Sect.
Flame comes quickly, but also goes quickly.
After about half a stick of incense appeared, it disappeared without a trace, as if it was suddenly extinguished by water, and there was nothing else except the traces of scorched black.
"Huo Huo, what the **** are they trying to do?" Xu Bai thought in his heart, while motivating his soul to sense the surrounding situation.
Someone!
Under the induction of the soul, he sensed that someone was lurking around.
Not only were there people, but there were many, at least hundreds of them, surrounding them, but due to their deep hiding, they did not reveal their figures.
But all of this, under Xu Bai's spirit, seemed extremely rough, and there was no way to hide it.
The other party seemed to know it too, and it was impossible to hide it at all, so not a while later, around the canyon, one after another strangely dressed people appeared.
"Gu God Sect!" Miao Xiao's Miao Sect and the Gu God Sect have been fighting each other for so long, of course it is very clear.
So when I saw the past at first glance, I already knew the identity of this group of people.
"It turns out that I like to go straight, that's good." Xu Bai said with a smile.
He thought that the other party was going to beat around the bush with him. After all, he had learned a lot along the way, and he used to beat around the bush to deal with him.
Unexpectedly, just after entering the canyon, the other party appeared directly.
No communication, no speaking.
The group of Gu God Sect members raised their hands together, and the next moment, countless Gu insects flew out of their bodies, covering the sky and covering the sun, making people frightened.
The number of Gu worms this time is more than that released by Miao Zheng, hundreds of times more, even in this wide area, every Gu worm is close to each other.
"You want to use numbers to deal with me?" Xu Bai said.
To tell the truth, there are really a lot of them, there are hundreds of Gu worms at a glance, and this is just a casual glance.
Even from Xu Bai's point of view, he felt his scalp tingling, after all, the number was really too much.
"However...you will know if you can fight or not." Xu Bai drew out the black knife at his waist.
The melodious music sounded, and Ye Zi had already started playing.
Bursts of light rose from Wuhua's body, covering his whole body.
On the other side, Miao Xiao also exiled the Gu insects, one of which was the golden silk Gu.
Chen Ting didn't move, she didn't have a body, so she couldn't fight, but she thought of something, her brows were tightly frowned, as if she was remembering.
The Gu worm moved.
Countless Gu worms roared from all directions, covering the sky and the sun, and the sun in the sky was blocked, making it difficult to see the slightest light.
Xu Bai took a step first, and the black knife was shattered suddenly, countless fragments hung in the air like a galaxy, tearing thousands of Gu worms in front of him to pieces.
Wuhua folded his palms together, the Buddha's light rose on him, and the Buddha's voice came out from it, centered on him, and strangled towards the surroundings.
Miao Xiao was a little weaker, but with Ye Zi's blessing, he could barely resist.
With the Golden Thread Gu as the center, the other Gu insects cooperate with each other, and they are also brave and diligent.
The fourth-grade puppet stood guard next to Ye Zi, to be precise, there was no need to guard it.
Because of Chen Ting's presence, the group of Gu worms seemed to be instinctively afraid, and they didn't dare to approach at all.
All the Gu worms killed by Xu Bai and the others, after being turned into fly ash, burned violently, and the sky turned into a sea of flames again.
Judging from the current situation, they seem to have the upper hand, but Xu Bai doesn't think so.
Each blow takes away hundreds of thousands of Gu worms, but each time, there are dozens of times more replenishment.
This amount is really a headache.
Xu Bai can withstand it, but the others are different.
Wuhua is very strong, even if it is the strength of the third rank, it is still outstanding at this level, and there is no shortage of power for the time being.
Miao Xiao became different, and seemed to be struggling.
Xu Bai said: "If you can't stand it anymore, go to Ye Zi's place and rest for a while."
He could tell that the only place with Chen Ting was safe.
Gu worms dare not approach at all. If so, why not use it as a resting area.
Miao nodded with a smile, and killed several waves of Gu worms, finally couldn't bear it any longer, and quickly walked into the area where Ye Zi was, with a pale face.
After resting for a while, she stepped out to continue.
"Benefactor Xu, I always feel that something is wrong." Wuhua clasped her hands together, and a wave of sacred Buddha light smashed countless Gu worms.
"The other party must know about Chen Ting, but they still want to fight us to the death. Don't they think about this?"
Xu Bai frowned upon hearing this.
As Wu Hua said, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case. The other party must know about Chen Ting's existence, and also know that Gu worms dare not approach, but why dare to fight them to the death?
The method they used just now can completely kill these Gu insects. After all, as long as they can't hold on, they can go in and hide for a while, all they need is time.
People of the Gu God Sect are not stupid, if they were stupid, they would not be able to linger until now.
They will definitely not do this kind of self-destructive thing, even if they do, it must be for a purpose.
Xu Bai thought in his heart, the movement of his hands did not stop, and another slash smashed thousands of Gu worms in front of him.
The corpses of the Gu worms turned into flames all over the sky, and those Gu worms that were not killed turned into flames together.
Xu Bai focused his eyes, and finally found something wrong.
After these Gu insects died, how could they turn into flames?
I have killed a lot of Gu worms before, but I have never encountered this scene.
has a problem!
Definitely something wrong!
Thinking of this, Xu Bai shouted: "Miao Xiao, have you ever seen this kind of death?"
Miao Xiao manipulated the golden thread Gu, slammed left and right in the Gu worm pile, and after hearing this, he replied: "After the Gu worm dies, the ashes return to the dust, and I have never seen it turned into a flame."
She has never seen it, not even in Miaojiao.
There are too many flames, covering the sky and the sun.
Some of the Gu worms were even killed by flames, but the key problem is that these flames hang high in the sky and did not fall down.
No!
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, there must be something, I haven't paid attention to it.
Xu Bai separated a part of his soul, and carefully sensed his surroundings.
He sensed every place around, and when he sensed all these corners, he finally discovered the abnormality.
"It's a pattern!"
Xu Bai's heart shook violently.
With him as the center, these mountains and the gaps on the ground, including some placed stones, turned out to be a natural pattern when put together.
That's right, it is natural, based on the surrounding scenery, mountains, rocks, vegetation, and the ashes that were first burned before, forming a pattern together.
A pattern exuberant like a flame.
Flame...from the altar of fire!
Xu Bai finally understood why they burned that fire in the first place, and these ashes were also part of the pattern.
It turns out that the pattern on the Lihuo Altar is not the same as that on the Fenshui Altar. The Fenshui Altar is only a small piece, but the pattern on the Lihuo Altar is such a large area.
"etc!"
"I know something's wrong there!"
Xu Bai's gaze circled around a space, and finally landed on Chen Ting.
When the water altar was divided before, Lin Yong was even willing to use the blood of his companions as a sacrifice in order to let him enter the Yaogui City.
Life is a sacrifice.
Well, life is needed here too.
But in a short period of time, how can a large number of lives be found?
If you really look for a large number of them, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of Tiansi Supervisor.
So it's all extremely difficult.
However, this kind of difficulty is not difficult for the Gu God Sect.
Xu Bai has a guess, which is those Gu worms.
Can Gu worms be used as sacrifices?
And here, with the help of Lihuo Altar, can you create a ghost city?
Li Huo Altar, Gu worms, and the marks on his body.
Xu Bai walked into this circle, and now he knows too much, and it is easy to get in touch with each other.
As for why the Gu worms were used to attack, it was probably a confusion.
Killing vigorously, who will pay attention to those flames?
The more you kill, the more sacrifices you will have.
Furthermore, Xu Bai happened to be standing in the pattern of Lihuo Altar.
The sky-filled flames would be powerful if they fell, but why didn't they fall?
Xu Bai felt that it might have something to do with Chen Ting.
He can only think this way, although he still can't figure it out, why these guys don't destroy the Gu worms themselves, it is still a sacrifice.
But it was too late now, he thought too much, because he always felt that Chen Ting would be in danger.
After crushing the Gu worms in front of him, Xu Bai ran towards Chen Ting and shouted at the same time: "Be careful of those Gu worms."
As soon as the voice fell, he had already stood beside Chen Ting.
Unexpectedly, when he said these words, there was a voice that echoed in the canyon.
"What a smart person, I feel that you have guessed a lot, but you have not guessed anything."
The voice of the Gu God Sect came out...
"That is to say, you have reached this point, you can't stop her, she...must die."
In the sky, countless flames were gradually gathering. The next moment, under the condensed flames, they gradually changed from the state of filling the sky to the size of a little finger.
The flame the size of a little finger no longer had the color of the flame, and turned emerald green, but it could be felt that there was a terrifying temperature inside.
"Can you hold back the last flame from the wreckage of the fire altar!"
"You can't stop her, she must die!"
The emerald green flame suddenly fell from the sky with a temperature as hot as boiling the sea, and the target was Chen Ting.
This flame is extremely terrifying, and the surrounding space has been burned into cracks. As long as you look at it, you will feel scorching hot.
Xu Bai reacted quickly. He looked at the emerald green flames that were gradually descending from the sky, and took a deep breath.
Hei Dao Bai Li held his hand tightly.
Xu Bai's true energy was mobilized frantically, and he jumped up directly, heading towards the emerald green flame.
"interesting."
"You want her to die, but I won't let her die."
"how?"
The flames met Xu Bai, and the terrifying temperature spread, covering the sky and the sun.
