Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1358: The Last Thing

The demons suffered a rout.

Although Yin Shuai was still there, the death of Shidian and Yuzhi still caused their morale to drop. The demons were all led by a core strongman. Once Shidian died, the rest of the demons would be under different leadership, and Yin Shuai might not be able to gather them all together.

In contrast, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals transformed from the Imperial Guards broke through the demons' lines with unparalleled momentum. With the blessing of the halo, the strength of each Heavenly Soldiers was equal, and their formation would not be chaotic under command, while the demons could not form such a formation.

In the crisis, Wuchang led the demons who obeyed his orders to retreat first, while Leopard Tail and Bird Mouth were responsible for blocking most of the pursuers. However, the two demon kings could only fight and retreat under the torrent-like attack of the heavenly soldiers and generals. Fortunately, their abilities were all survival-oriented and they were not killed on the spot by the heavenly soldiers and generals.

But as soon as they leave the palace, the ghost king's blizzard will immediately suppress the soldiers. The diseases brought by the sacrifices cannot penetrate the protection of "Heaven", but they can take effect quickly outside the Heaven.

Under the cover of wind and snow, most of the demons managed to evacuate successfully. As for those who only knew how to fight to the death, the Yin Shuais just let them die and buy enough time.

When Qu Hongzhu went out of the palace, she saw the demon army fighting and retreating. The defeat of Fengdu was expected, but since she had found an opportunity to assassinate the emperor, Qu Hongzhu had no complaints.

However, when she felt the "mark", she was surprised.

Wei Jingxian died too quickly.

Of course, she knew what kind of fighting power the prospective master of the Temple of Beheading was capable of, but he was only a prospective master after all, and had not officially taken office yet. She thought that Wei Jingxian, as the top fighting power among humans, could at least delay her until she left the city, but she did not expect that he was solved at the first encounter.

"Jiao Tou Tuo, Fairy Guiyun, you also have to move." Qu Hongzhu issued an order. She always had a bad premonition.

"We need to move quickly." The mud louse suddenly whispered into her shoulder, "A large number of demons will die."

"Damn it!" Qu Hongzhu rushed out quickly, "Give me directions, I have to go the opposite way!"

“The soil leads the way.”

Qu Hongzhu looked at the location marked on the soil, roughly recalled the layout of the city, then immediately jumped onto the roof and started to escape.

Is there nothing among these demons that can stop the quasi-palace master of the Head-Cutting Temple? Are the demon generals not enough? Qu Hongzhu was shocked. She originally thought that only those old guys had the ability to slaughter indiscriminately in the scene, and the newcomers had to stay in their homes. But how come Ning Ke, who has only been at the fifth level for a few years, is so powerful?

Of course, she didn't know that Ning Ke came here just to kill enough monsters. Killing the Horse-Faced Monster was not enough, but with the addition of Wei Jingxian and some small monsters she killed, she finally unlocked the next function of the Death Plan.

Every time such props are unlocked, the improvement in strength is leaps and bounds. Ning Ke doesn't care about anything else now. She just stares in the direction of Qu Hongzhu. As for what is showing her the way, it is a cluster of fungi on the roadside that are about to freeze to death.

The "eyes" left by Lu Ning were lurking in every corner, and even Qu Hongzhu's escape did not escape Lu Ning's surveillance. Moreover, the fungus was originally a part differentiated by Lu Ning, and she also had the authority to use the "points". It was impossible to spy on all the secrets in the entire Xingyin City, but it was not difficult to keep an eye on one person.

What kind of person is Ning Ke? When this colony fell into her hands with the death of Wei Jingxian, she basically understood the hint. Wei Jingxian came from the direction of the palace, and she just had to go in the direction indicated.

It was not so easy for Qu Hongzhu to escape. When she was passing through a market, she suddenly saw a group of tall and strong men standing silently in the snow, semi-surrounding her and blocking her way.

"Where to go?"

Qiu Suying stood at the front of the group, her face gloomy.

"Liu Zheng! Are you trying to stop me here?" Qu Hongzhu was furious.

"The last cooperation was a matter of the last time. You have crossed the line this time." Qiu Suying stared at Qu Hongzhu, "But you should have known this when you set up the dragon-breaking device. The tourists will all regard you as an enemy."

"Huh? So what? We are all here to complete the mission, aren't you the same? As a descendant of the Demon Cult, could there be any good things you can do?" Qu Hongzhu drew out his sword, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

"So I won't cooperate with a stupid and superficial person for a second time..." Qiu Suying walked over step by step, and the puppets behind him also pressed forward in neat steps. Although this sense of oppression was not as strong as the previous battle, it made Qu Hongzhu feel more and more uneasy.

She had not had a very deep cooperation with the "Liu Zheng" in front of her, nor did she know the other's abilities very well. After both sides got what they needed, she still arbitrarily believed that this tourist was the same kind of person as herself.

"Ha..." Qiu Suying sighed and reached into his arms.

Qu Hongzhu didn't wait for him to make a move. She stomped on the ground hard, and the mud lice immediately raised the ground according to her instructions and threw Qiu Suying into the sky.

"Since that doesn't make sense, just go ahead and--"

Before she finished her words, Qu Hongzhu felt her feet sink. She looked down and found that a bunch of black lines came out from the shadows, pierced into her clothes, and pulled her into the shadows.

"Damn it! Attribute transformation, destroy the magic!"

With a flash of cold light, the sharp sword in her hand cut off the black thread that was wrapped around her body. Then, a red light flashed in Qu Hongzhu's eyes, and a strong catapulting force erupted from her feet, instantly sending her into the air.

"Extreme Executioner", a one-time prop.

This item can be obtained after killing more than five characters in the scene who are specialized in a certain combat skill. Note: The character must be the first in the skill among the characters in the scene, excluding the existence of the gods in the scene.

After use, you can perform "attribute conversion" in the next scene, weakening the attributes of an object or even yourself in many aspects at once, and then significantly improving one aspect. The degree of improvement depends on the quality.

This item cannot be obtained repeatedly and cannot be given as a gift.

Although it was a one-time prop, the distribution center provided simulation training, and Qu Hongzhu had tested this prop many times. She put a lot of effort into this scene, and even used this last-minute trick, just to win enough points to escape.

"go to hell!"

Her speed was accelerated to the extreme in an instant, and the sword edge also changed its properties, becoming sharper.

A sword flashed across the sky, cutting Qiu Suying in half. Then, Qu Hongzhu stepped on the earth steps gathered in the air and landed, the red in his eyes still bright.

"Not dead yet." "It doesn't feel right...right?" A puppet came out, its face transformed into Qiu Suying's. "There are many puppets here to test your ability. The number is not too many, but it is enough to test one person."

"Heh, who would waste time with you here?" Qu Hongzhu stepped on the earthen steps in mid-air. She had already seen the layout and dynamics of these puppets clearly in mid-air. Now she was still in the stage of escaping, so of course she would not waste time here.

Jiao Tou Tuo and Gui Yun Fairy did not really intercept Ning Ke as she instructed. She could only sense the signs and send simple messages, but did not have the power to give direct orders. However, she was not worried. After all, she secretly arranged for Ning Ke to be the target of these people's killing in "Carrying Transport", and no one could escape.

"A cave in a pot."

The wind and snow turned into a plane as Qiu Suying raised his hand, and then was torn down from the night sky. Qu Hongzhu had never expected such an attack method, and was immediately hit by a piece of night sky, and his whole body was almost merged into it.

"I am a person who hates trouble. The trouble I am talking about is not complicated matters or difficult problems, but those unnecessary complications." Qiu Suying moved his fingers, cutting the night into pieces of scrolls, "Because this is a very stupid thing, unnecessary behavior, and unpredictable consequences. I have seen many people who do this kind of thing, and they don't have a clear understanding of their own purpose."

"What the hell is this preaching?"

A solid mud javelin tore through the night sky and rushed towards Qiu Suying. Qiu Suying was too lazy to even dodge and let the javelin destroy the puppet.

"I'm not preaching. I just need to vent my dissatisfaction." Another puppet spoke up. "Originally, it was just a conflict between Fengdu and Heaven. You insisted on letting another demon force intervene, adding countless difficulties. Don't you know how to judge the situation and do things quietly?"

As the night was divided, Qu Hongzhu found herself gradually trapped in an invisible maze. Although she could destroy the flattened night sky through attribute conversion, her speed of destruction was far less than the speed of the other party's creation.

Compared to her, Qiu Suying's behavior was too cautious. He trapped her at all costs just to force her to use all means and then make a plan to kill her completely.

Qu Hongzhu realized that this dilemma was not a problem she could solve on her own, but she still had a last resort.

"Do you really think you can trap me?" She sneered and took out a silver coin from her bosom. In the center of the silver coin, there was a blood-red jade inlaid. As Qu Hongzhu exerted force with her fingers, the silver coin immediately bent and the jade in the center shattered.

"Please ask Lord Li Ji to take action, everyone in front of us is an enemy!" Qu Hongzhu shouted loudly.

Qiu Suying's face changed. In the wind and snow, an invisible sword intent broke through the air. The sharpness of that was not comparable to the sword intent that Qu Hongzhu had just transformed with his attributes. It was like the sword intent of the whole world swinging its sword at him.

"Let's go, I'm here."

Qu Hongzhu saw the maze in front of her being broken by a lightning from the sky, and a passage was lit up in the overlapping curtains. As expected of the demon king, he had already opened a passage for her before she even arrived here.

"Thank you!"

After Qu Hongzhu shouted, she immediately rushed out of the curtain. Qiu Suying behind her couldn't stop her because the huge pressure had already reached him.

"Among humans, there is another expert in refining weapons? Interesting, very interesting."

Li Ji entered the battle array with a sword in hand, as if he was strolling in a garden, and easily cut open the "Cave in the Pot" unfolded by Qiu Suying. Qiu Suying didn't have any good solution for this. He was confident that he could deal with all the evil magic tricks, but he couldn't deal with this pure swordsmanship. He could only win by relying on his hard power.

"Yes, it is a blessing to meet two masters on such a snowy night. After this battle, everything will be clear." Li Ji smiled, made a sword gesture, and took the starting stance.

It is “the rain that keeps guests”.

If Li Duanyu used silent and vast erosion, then what Li Ji imitated now was the momentum of raging waves hitting the shore. In this rain curtain composed of sword energy, everything would be destroyed by the torrent. No matter how many puppets Qiu Suying prepared, the result would be the same.

With just one move, all the puppets in one direction were turned into pieces.

"Ah... not the real body. But it is natural for a weapon refiner to be good at protecting his life." Li Ji chuckled, "Do you want to continue? You should know that you are no match for me."

"Are you willing to let him go?" Qiu Suying asked.

"Why not? Even if I destroy your fake person in a moment, your real body won't be harmed at all, and you will never be able to catch up with that person without my obstruction. In this case, why don't we both give up? I'm afraid neither you nor I have the intention to do such a futile thing."

"Demons should only know how to pursue victory or cut off their tails to survive, but you are different."

"I'll take it as a compliment." Li Ji nodded. "Feng has informed us. Are you ready to evacuate?"

"I have done what I wanted to do. Qu Hongzhu failed to escape from here quickly just now, so she will never be able to leave. I may not be enough, but someone can kill her."

Li Ji was slightly startled.

At this moment, Qu Hongzhu, who was rushing out of the city at a rapid speed, suddenly stopped breathing and fell uncontrollably into the snow. She suddenly felt her hands and feet go weak and she couldn't even stand up from the ground. This feeling came so suddenly that she was not prepared at all.

"What is that..." She tried to turn over, but her body felt very weak, and the transformed attributes were lost. She could no longer gain more strength from her tired body, and she couldn't even move an inch.

In the distance, Lu Ning was slowly passing the edge of the "Broken Dragon". The light of the magic weapon was shining on her body. The "Life and Death" was demanding the return of all the aura that had been intercepted from her these days, and this price was being fed back to the person who arranged it.

Qu Hongzhu didn't know, but she knew that she might have been ambushed.

"Ni Lice, find a way to take me out. As long as we are out of the city, we will be safe, as long as..." Qu Hongzhu called out to the little bug on her shoulder in a low voice. She knew that Ni Lice did not have the ability to lead people quickly, but now they were only a few dozen steps away from the city gate and there was no obstacle. Once she left the city, she would have plenty of ways to recover.

However, in the next second, everything changed.

She heard the sound of someone closing the watch cover, and saw the palace wall. Ning Ke was standing at the hole she had just dug, his face pale but his expression grim.

The plan for the last moments of life, Chen: going back and extending to the past, the dragon calls out to the nine heavens, all cause and effect will come true.
