Chapter 86: Shallows Can't Contain a Swimming Dragon (asking for monthly tickets)
Four hundred miles southwest is Yinshan County.
It was dusk, and the setting sun was like blood.
Birds return to their nests and insects remain silent.
The merchants and peddlers shouted and packed up their stalls, and the pedestrians on the road hurried home.
From street to street, one can hear mothers calling out to their playful children to come back for dinner.
Above the eaves of thousands of households, wisps of smoke rise slowly.
The scene before my eyes is a rare moment of tranquility on this spring day.
But suddenly, the sound of hurried horse hooves broke the peace.
Suddenly, a bloodstained black horse rushed in from outside the city gate with a clattering sound, as quick as a rainstorm, and galloped down the street, startling pedestrians and vendors. They all avoided it, causing bursts of exclamations.
Halfway through the run, the black horse let out a mournful whine, its front legs suddenly bent, and its entire body rolled to the ground. Immediately afterwards, a figure carried on its back fell down.
It was a man wearing a black flying bird costume, his body soaked in blood. There was a hideous claw mark on his back so deep that the bone could be seen. His skin and flesh were turned inside out, and blood was dripping, which was shocking.
The black horse rolled to the ground, struggled a few times, let out a wail, and died.
It turned out that there was a two-foot-long hideous cut on the side of its abdomen, with its intestines exposed.
The people on the street saw this scene and cried out in surprise.
"Oh my god"
"dead"
"Go and report to the official!"
After a while, there were shouts coming.
"Everyone, get out of the way, get out of the way!"
A team of yamen runners came running over, stopped the people who were watching the fun and pointing, and followed a man in a green bird costume out of the crowd.
When the other party saw who the figure lying on the ground was, his face changed instantly, he walked forward quickly and shouted,
"Hurry up and save people!"
As he said this, he quickly squatted down and helped up the figure who was covered in blood and had his face hanging on the ground.
"Golden Demon Slayer, what on earth happened to you?"
"Where is Lord Wei?"
The county magistrate asked anxiously.
Because the man in front of him was none other than a demon slayer under the command of the captain who was guarding this place.
Seeing this state, I am afraid he will not survive.
In the end what happened?
The demon slayer, who was covered in blood, seemed to still be breathing. His chest rose and fell rapidly. He opened his eyes, which were covered with blood clots. One hand suddenly stretched out and tightly grasped the county magistrate's arm. He spoke with a trembling voice, his throat like a broken bellows.
"Captain and others died in the battle!"
"Feixian. Uh uh, the demon cult has appeared in large numbers."
At this point, the man suddenly exerted his strength, his eyes wide open, as if he had used up all his strength, and shouted to the county magistrate:
"Hurry up and evacuate the people, flee to the north, flee!"
After saying this, the demon slayer seemed to have lost all his strength, his hands loosened, his body fell down, and he died!
“Golden Demon Exorcist!” The county magistrate had a grief-stricken look on his face. He shook the corpse in his arms and called out.
At this moment, the crowd watching the excitement suddenly exploded.
The evil cult showed up in large numbers, and all the patrol captains and demon hunters guarding the place were killed.
Soon, the news spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people.
Immediately afterwards, the drumbeats on the city wall sounded rapidly.
Then, the yamen runners rode on their horses at full speed, spreading the news of the city's evacuation throughout the streets and alleys.
For a moment, the originally peaceful Yinshan County fell into chaos.
"The demon is coming, run!"
"Mom, I'll carry you."
"Mother is old, my child, run away!"
"I don't want these things anymore. Damn it, the demons are coming soon. I want my life or my money. Throw them all away."
"........."
Suddenly, the sounds of slamming doors, cursing, and crying filled the entire Yinshan County.
The people hurriedly packed their bags, took their families, rushed out of the city gate, and then fled to the mountains and forests in the north.
But less than an incense stick of time later, there was a loud noise at the southern city gate, and then the city gate exploded.
One after another, fast horses came neighing.
One by one, figures wearing masks and black robes rushed in. The pupils under the masks looked at the people fleeing in panic in the distance and laughed hideously.
Then he rode his horse at full speed and chased after the people.
Behind these figures, dozens of miles to the south, the ground was shaking and a large black cloud was moving towards the north.
Among the dark clouds, you can vaguely see flags fluttering in the wind.
The background is black and the surface is green, with a green dragon embroidered on it.
....
At this time, on the other side, in Qingshan County, Chen Yuan’s courtyard.
In the inner room, Chen Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed.
After a while, the body suddenly shook.
The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.
Golden light shot out three feet away.
Soon, the golden light faded away and everything returned to normal.
At this time, his temperament had changed, becoming heavy and deep, as still as a mountain.
Because just now, within the Niwan, the true forms of the thirty-six mountains had already been completely solidified.
This also meant that Chen Yuan had completely entered the fourth level and had stabilized in this realm.
Originally, his progress was still a little slow, but the secret agents sent by the Feixian Sect brought him more than a hundred points of gains.
What a timely relief!
At this moment, his eyes flickered a few times, he stood up and opened the door.
When I opened the door, there were two people standing outside.
Seeing him coming out of seclusion, Qin Hu immediately spoke up and volunteered.
"Brother Chen, I'll follow you!"
"I'm really worried about you going to meet the Demon Cult army alone."
"Brother, Nichang is also willing to go with you to kill the enemy!" Lian Nichang raised his sword and clasped his fists.
Seeing the two men's serious expressions and stern demeanor, Chen Yuan shook his head.
"I'm going alone!"
As he said this, he interrupted Qin Hu's mouth and stared at them: "Chen, we must go fast. While these beasts don't know that we have grasped their movements, we must strike with lightning speed!"
"You only get one chance."
"Once they realize what's going on, they'll lure me out, trap me, and then send people to strangle Qingshan County. If that happens, I won't dare leave Qingshan County again. So, this time, we must pin this group of people outside and not let them form a siege and trap Qingshan County. Otherwise, Qingshan County will be trapped to death."
"Do you two understand what Chen is saying?"
"Besides, it's better to be safe than sorry. If I go out, I'll feel more at ease with you two here to guard me."
After Chen Yuan finished saying this, he saw the two men's faces change slightly, and he thought they understood.
Qin Hu sighed.
"Brother Chen, Lao Qin understands what you mean!"
"Brother, be careful when you go there!" Lian Nishang warned.
As they talked, they moved aside.
Chen Yuan just shook his body and disappeared in the courtyard.
Qin Hu looked up at the sky, sighed, then remembered something and looked at Lian Nishang next to him.
"Captain Lian, I remember you said that when you first met Brother Chen, he had just broken through to the Profound Body?"
Lian Nishang heard this and nodded after a while. "That day, the flying immortals were causing chaos in Yunlu County. One of my lieutenants witnessed my brother's breakthrough to the body, and then he granted me a magical power, allowing me, the lieutenant, to put an end to the chaos."
Qin Hu was somewhat dazed and amazed when he heard this. "It has only been a short time, and Brother Chen has already entered the fourth level."
"Old Wu is right. This man of ours is a natural talent. If we give him time, this remote place won't be able to hold him back in the future."
"I hope he is safe!"
It's the end of the month, please don't invalidate your monthly tickets, godfathers
