At Zhennan Prefecture Pass, it was a long snowy night. The light of the snow silhouetted the outline of the big city under the night sky, which was full of deathly silence, ruin and coldness.
The thousands of lights of the past were now covered in ice under months of wind and snow.
In the southwest of the city, in a house close to the center of the city, snow and wind so thick that it was more than a person's height submerged half of the door wall. The snow and wind poured into the open door, and the inside was covered with snowflakes, fallen tables and chairs, broken dishes and chopsticks, and pools of black and red blood and minced meat frozen on the ground, walls, and door frames, as if time had been frozen at the dusk of the day when the demons massacred the city.
Outside the house at night, accompanied by the howling wind and snow, there were horrible roars rising and falling, like the cry of a baby, the cry of a night owl, the roar of an evil spirit, and so on.
Outside, under the pale light of the snow, ferocious figures flashed by from time to time.
At this moment, the roof of the house was half collapsed by the snow.
"squeak"
"squeak"
There was a faint sound of footsteps on the snow, which was inconspicuous amid the whistling wind.
On the roof, fine snow and sand fell from the cracks.
The sound soon stopped above the roof, and then there was a sound of heavy breathing and a strong fishy smell coming from a wild beast.
There's something on the roof!
This sniffing sound continued for a while, and it seemed that nothing was found. Then the crunching sound of stepping on the snow faded away, and the thing on the roof left.
The room fell into dead silence again!
Just after a dozen breaths, in the dark room, the tiny wooden door creaked with a teeth-grinding sound, and a gust of wind blew a cabinet door in the room open a tiny gap.
Soon, in the pitch-black slit, a pupil glowing slightly in the darkness appeared.
The pair of eyes showed vigilance. He continued to wait for half a cup of tea before finally opening the cabinet door and walking out.
There is a secret door hidden behind this cabinet door. If you are not very familiar with this house, it will be difficult to find it for a while.
At this time, a man came out from inside, wearing a black suit, and his whole body was covered with a blue-black paint, even his face.
This is a kind of five-spirit fat made by grinding demon bones into powder and adding an appropriate proportion of demon blood. It is specially used to cover up the human aura on the body and disrupt the demon's perception. It is usually only used by the army that cuts down mountains.
After this man came out, he covered his waist with his hands, with blood oozing from his fingertips. He frowned, took out a small green bottle as long as a finger from his chest with one hand, bit open the cork with his mouth, and then released his other hand that was covering the wound.
The wound on this person's waist was as big as a bowl, and it was clearly visible that a sharp black claw had pierced into it and broke off inside.
Then, the man used the hand that was covering the wound to pull out the sharp claw.
The claws were bent and had barbs, and the sound of flesh being torn could be heard, but the man's expression remained unchanged, and without even a groan from his throat, he pulled out the sharp claw. Then he poured yellow powder from the small bottle and sprinkled it on the wound. The bleeding wound quickly solidified after the yellow powder was sprinkled.
During this process, this person's eyes were scanning the surroundings like an eagle, listening carefully to any movement outside.
After doing this, the man tore off his shirt, tore off a piece of cloth, and bandaged the wound briefly. Inadvertently, a black token was exposed under his shirt at his waist.
At this moment, the black token suddenly vibrated, and the man's face suddenly changed. He felt that he had been cheated!
"rub"
He drew out the sword from his waist with one hand, and a flash of cold light came out of the sheath in the darkness, illuminating the room. At the same time, he swung his other hand downward, and a golden light came out from his sleeve, fell into his fingers, was pinched between his two fingers, and quickly slapped on his body.
Immediately, a golden light flashed on his body, and a ray of golden light flowed through his body.
Just as he drew his sword and was on guard, a pair of scarlet green eyes were reflected on the snow-white blade.
"On your own head!"
The man's brows jumped, his heart turned cold, and he slashed upwards with the long sword in his hand.
"laugh"
A meter-long wisp of white blade energy slashed out and shot straight onto the roof above.
With a "bang", a black claw as big as a millstone could be seen breaking through the roof and reaching down.
The snow and tiles exploded, and the black claws directly hit the sword energy, making a "ding" sound.
The knife energy was deflected and suddenly flew diagonally to the cabinet where the man had just hidden, causing wood chips to fly everywhere.
The sharp claws continued to move downwards, grabbing the captain who was cutting down the mountain.
The man's face changed, and he held the knife horizontally and pushed it upwards.
With a "dang" sound.
The black claws fell, and a golden light flashed on the man's body, and a golden light shield appeared. Then the man was directly knocked back by the strong recoil, and his body lost control and flew backwards.
At the critical moment, the man stabbed the knife into the ground with his backhand. "Swish", the blade drew a hot spark, and then it hit the wall with a snap.
There was a muffled sound from the wall, and the brick wall caved in!
The golden light on the man's body suddenly shattered and disappeared.
"The Heavenly Gate Demon!"
A sweet voice emerged from the mouth of the mountain-cutting captain, and he looked forward with resentment and hatred in his eyes.
My task has not been completed yet, the message has not been delivered yet, after all, I am still one step away!
And where he had just stood, tiles and snow flew down, and a tall demonic shadow condensed and was about to pierce through the roof.
He had a dog face, red hair, four arms on his shoulders, two half-foot-long fangs protruding outward, and a pair of scarlet copper-bell eyes staring at the mountain-cutting captain who was standing opposite him with a knife in his hand, half-bending his body and slowly standing up!
This demon revealed the aura of a Heavenly Gate Dao Seed, its scarlet green eyes revealed a playful look, it bared its fangs and slowly opened its mouth, making a sound like muffled thunder.
"You mountain-cutting soldiers are so hard to kill. How dare you come here?"
"These past few days, they are like bedbugs, scrambling over here. When I kill one, another comes."
As he spoke, two streams of yellow air blew out of his nose, and his beast eyes slightly straightened, with a mocking tone, "Humph, I heard that you gave orders from the front line to try to destroy my Saint Clan's teleportation array. How naive! With your limited strength, just wait for my Saint Clan to gather the army and then we can crush you to the ground."
"As for you annoying bugs, we will find them one by one."
When he spoke the last part, his tone became grim.
On the other side, Captain Fashan stood up and pulled out his sword from the ground. He was breathing heavily, his eyes were bloodshot, his power was forcibly increased, veins popped out of his eyelids, and he roared in his throat, "Seven Swords Slash!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward, and at the same time, the sword light was like an afterimage, turning into a chaotic cloak and slashing towards the tall demon shadow opposite.
The sword lights whistled and cut through the air. They were approaching in an instant. The demon on the opposite side had a cold light in his eyes. He stretched out his four arms, and the demonic energy vibrated in his fists. He punched with his four arms and attacked the sword energy.
"boom"
"boom"
There were several loud explosions.
The demon's big fist shattered the sword energy directly, and then his body moved three feet in an instant as if teleporting, and came in front of the captain of the mountain-cutting army. He let out a hideous grin, and then punched the opponent's head directly with both fists.
The captain of the mountain-cutting army swung his sword, and the sword energy created a layer of white curtain, which blocked the two big hairy hands. However, his feet shook, and the ground cracked. His whole body trembled violently, and his arms and feet made a sharp bone creaking sound.
"Unbelievable!"
The demon's face turned ferocious, and he used his other two thick arms to hammer down directly.
"boom"
The sword energy and the long sword were smashed into pieces.
The captain Fashan's arms broke with a crackling sound, and the sharp white bones protruded directly from his shoulder sockets. He was hammered to the ground, rolling several times with blood flowing everywhere.
"Hehe." The demon chuckled and raised his foot to crush the mountain-cutting captain into a pulp, but at this moment, in the darkness, a stream of light, like an antelope's horn, shot from behind towards the back of the demon's head at a very fast speed.
The demon's hair stood up in shock and he let out an angry roar. His head turned 180 degrees and then his four arms came together to block his head.
The next second, there was a "puff" sound, and the sound of flesh and blood breaking.
The demon's head exploded, and smelly flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
Then, with a dull thud, the tall body fell down with a loud bang.
After the demon died, a man in white flew down from the hole in the roof of the mountain, flew to the side of the fallen captain, then knelt on one knee, lifted the captain's head with one hand, and helped him sit up.
The opponent was dying at this time, with more than a dozen bones broken in his body, some piercing through the flesh, some piercing into the internal organs, and blood flowing everywhere.
The man raised one hand and quickly put a blood-red pill the size of a mung bean into the mouth of the mountain-cutting captain. He then slapped his chest with his palm, which directly hit above his navel, sending the pill to the other party's dantian to dissolve.
"Hold on, brother." The silver-haired Zhao Quanzhen looked at the captain of the mountain-cutting army with a red mouth and opening and closing eyelids. He raised his brows, transferred his true energy to quickly dissolve the pill, and the medicinal power quickly flowed through the blood to the man's limbs and bones.
This was the holy medicine for healing from Wudao Mountain, called Xiaohuandan, which was quite extraordinary. At this moment, Zhao Quanzhen used it without hesitation on this stranger mountain-cutting captain.
The captain of the mountain-cutting army in his arms was in severe pain at this moment. He raised a broken hand with white bones sticking out, and tremblingly took out something from his arms and handed it to Zhao Quanzhen. He breathed heavily and said with difficulty, "Send this... out. This is some information about the demon teleportation array in Zhennan Prefecture. Unfortunately, this teleportation array is protected by a demon formation. We are weak and can't get in to find out what's going on."
This unknown captain of the mountain-cutting army held his breath, his eyes revealing resentment.
In his hand was a secret letter sealed with wax.
Zhao Quanzhen looked at the secret letter in his hand, which was cracked and stained with blood. His eyes flickered, but he shook his head, "You can deliver the letter yourself. Don't worry, you won't die."
However, he saw the captain of the mountain-cutting army in his hand, showing a determination to die. He knew that his situation would only drag down Zhao Quanzhen in front of him. In this devil's cave, it was a life-and-death situation. Although he didn't know who Zhao Quanzhen was, in the devil's cave, all humans were brothers. "Put me here. I was originally from Zhennan Prefecture. This house was once my home. If I die, I die. I will be gone with the wind."
"I just hope you can leave me a weapon!"
The captain of the mountain-cutting army said this while trying to sit up. The severe pain in his chest made him clench his teeth tightly.
After hearing what this person said, Zhao Quanzhen looked at the dilapidated house that was about to be buried by the wind and snow, and frowned, "Don't say these words, are you willing to die alone here? In an hour, when the midnight comes, I will go to break into the city!"
Midnight is a special time!
Upon hearing this, the captain of the mountain-cutting army frowned in surprise, coughed, and hurriedly said, "It's three quarters past midnight. That seems to be the time when the demon clan's teleportation array sends a new batch of demon soldiers. At that time, the protective array outside will be opened. Brother, do you plan to take this opportunity to break in?"
"It seems that you also know that, yes, this is the only opportunity." Zhao Quanzhen nodded.
After lurking in Zhennan Prefecture and observing for a few days, Zhao Quanzhen knew the location of the demon clan's teleportation array in Zhennan Prefecture. It was not difficult to find, as it was right in the middle of the city. Outside the teleportation array there was a large array for protection and it was heavily guarded by demons. He had figured out some of the patterns and planned to take action tonight.
The demon clan is indeed mobilizing its troops. Every night at three quarters past midnight, the teleportation array inside will be activated to transport a group of demon soldiers over. At that time, the exit of the protective array outside will also be opened. This is the only chance to take advantage of the chaos to get in.
When the captain heard this, his dull eyes suddenly brightened up, "May I ask who you are?"
"Wudao Mountain, Zhao Quanzhen!" Zhao Quanzhen spoke.
"Wudao Mountain? Ahem, it turns out that you are a genius from a great sect. I admire you!"
"The Sixth Mountain, Ji Lianshan!" The man gave his name, and then looked at Zhao Quanzhen with complicated eyes, "But it's dangerous to go there. There are many demons in the demon cave, and there may even be big demons guarding it. You still have a bright future ahead of you."
Zhao Quanzhen knew what he wanted to say, and said calmly, "Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the mountain-killing army died on the battlefield. You and others also fought for the cause despite knowing that it was impossible. I also followed the Ninth Mountain to kill the enemy, so I am considered a part of it. No need to say more."
When the Sixth Mountain Captain Ji Lianshan heard this, he was deeply touched and said in a loud voice, "Okay."
Then he endured the pain and tore off a beautiful green-veined conch from his neck, saying solemnly, "I am useless. This is my whistle. If you encounter trouble in charging, blow this whistle. If the brothers of the mountain-cutting army lurking in Zhennan Prefecture who are on the same mission as me hear it, they will definitely do their best to help you!"
He stuffed his whistle into Zhao Quanzhen's hand, wrapped it up, and shook it heavily.
"huhu"
The wind and snow howled.
In Zhennan Prefecture, in the center of the city, under the night sky, a huge black light formation appeared like a huge eggshell, covering an area of several miles.
And outside the formation, the densely packed demonic shadows were shocking, and the demonic energy was rising to the sky.
As the night deepened, the roaring sound outside the formation gradually boiled over until the moment of midnight, "buzz buzz", the earth shook like a rolling earth dragon.
quickly,
"boom"
In the center of the black light formation, a white beam of light broke through the formation, pierced through the night sky, and soared into the sky, like moonlight pouring down.
And in the white light column, streams of light fell like stars.
Not long after, the black light formation that looked like a huge upside-down bowl began to hum. The four sides of the formation opened one after another, and magic lights of various colors rushed out from them. In the magic lights, there were all kinds of strange and hideous demons.
At this time, in the southwest direction, ten miles away from the large formation, Zhao Quanzhen stood on the top of a high-rise ruin. His eyes moved slightly, and then he clasped his hands together, and rays of light flew out from his sleeves, cutting through the sky, and in an instant, like flying stars, flew towards the large formation in the distance.
And his figure disappeared on the spot.
I saw the streaks of light moving at a rapid speed, cutting through the long night and smashing into the boiling group of demons outside the formation.
"boom"
"boom"
"boom"
The fire bloomed in the night. (End of this chapter)
