After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 696 Breaking the Formation!

"Tsk, stop showing off in front of this handsome guard... Damn it! Are you serious?"

Ji Li was just sneering halfway when a powerful and vast sword energy, carrying with it a murderous aura, gushed out.

His body trembled and he dodged in a hurry.

His movements were considered extremely fast, but when he steadied himself, he found that his thin cuffs had been chopped into strips by Chen Long's sword energy.

"Shang! I'm not done with you!"

That’s a story for later. Now that Chen Long is serious, Ji Li can only avoid the attack for the time being.

He moved to the side, his back pressed against the wall.

From his angle, he could clearly see Chen Long's profile and every detail of his moves.

In terms of moves, Chen Long only uses a few moves over and over again.

At first glance, it seems that his martial arts are somewhat similar to Ji Feng's.

The difference is that Ji Feng is limited by his talent and uses all his strength to practice the most powerful killing move.

Chen Long is too lazy to play around so much.

He is the seedling that God has chosen to give him a chance to thrive.

Even Ji Li would occasionally envy his talent.

Of course, Ji Li also has his own unique qualities that make him better than Chen Long, such as his cool and handsome appearance!
Another sword energy came slashing across.

Ji Li's face changed and he dodged.

The place where he had just stood was reduced to ruins.

"Mr. Shang, can you be more accurate? Just hit them if you want to, why are you always aiming at me?"

After he finished his furious roar, he looked at the ruins with a lingering fear and muttered, "Luckily, I dodged quickly. If it were someone with worse Qinggong skills, you would have chopped me into pieces!"

Having known Chen Long for so long, he has always known that Chen Long is powerful.

I just didn't expect it to be so powerful.

Perhaps no one had ever pushed him to this point, or perhaps he had practiced martial arts even harder in the years since the Grand Marshal was murdered.

Chen Long's eyes were bloodshot, and he spoke word by word: "I'll tell you for the last time, stay away from me."

"I know, I know."

Ji Li spoke impatiently, but he walked faster than anyone else.

"How did you come?"

Meng Qianqian turned around and found that Ji Li had landed behind her using his lightness skills.

Ji Li felt embarrassed.

Uh, it seems too far away...

"Cough cough."

He cleared his throat and said calmly, "Of course I'm here to help you!"

"Oh."

Meng Qianqian pushed him out and said, "Hit him."

Ji Li was suddenly pushed forward and came face to face with the assassin: "......!!"

The assassin was stunned.

As they were fighting, a person grew out of the ground. Who would believe it?

Ji Li was also confused.

While hiding, she was plotted against by Xiao Yinhu. Woman is the most cruel!

The two stared at each other.

Ji Li swung a punch fiercely, knocking the assassin away!
With Ji Li's joining, Meng Qianqian was able to devote more attention to finding the center of the formation.

She first looked in the direction of Chen Long.

My brother's aura changed.

He is about to use his real killer move.

Hope he doesn't hurt himself.

"I'm going to find the center of the formation."

She said to Lu Yuan and Ji Li.

The assassins at both ends of the street were stopped by Chen Long, Lu Yuan and Ji Li respectively.

She can move freely in the middle.

Lu Yuan nodded: "Okay, don't let any of them in."

The latter sentence was directed to Ji Li.

Ji Li patted his palms lightly with his folding fan and said confidently, "Alright."

The two men looked stern and built an iron wall for Meng Qianqian behind them.

There are only a limited amount of things Meng Qianqian can remember, but since Ji Li's hexagram points to this place, it means that the formation is indeed not far away.

If she was a Loulan wizard, where would she place the center of the formation?

She paused and looked up at the boundless sky.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, dotted with stars.

She raised her hand, spread out her index finger and thumb, connected her left and right hands in opposite directions, and gazed at the bright moon through the frame.

Suddenly, her heart trembled and an idea flashed through her mind.

"well!"

The most yin place is none other than the well.

"It's a well!"

She said.

"what?"

Lu Yuan didn't hear clearly.

Those assassins resorted to underhand tactics when they couldn't win, with darts and fire beads exploding one after another, creating a huge cloud of smoke.

"Nothing! You guys fight your own battles! I get it!"

Meng Qianqian lifted her skirt and ran quickly.

Lu Yuan caught a glimpse of her brisk steps from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but feel a toothache: "Slow down!"

Did this woman forget that she was pregnant again?

Meng Qianqian didn't forget.

As she ran quickly, she touched her slightly bulging belly and said, "Baby, come with me to find the center of the formation, okay?"

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or something else, but as soon as she finished speaking, she actually felt the fetus move.

Her heart softened, but her eyes became more determined.

In this life, she has the ability to protect her family.

She would never let the tragedy of her past life happen again.

She turned into a small alley to the east and saw a well in an abandoned courtyard.

She took out the mechanism box, opened the mechanism, and a thin wire was wrapped around the branch. She held it tightly and jumped into the well.

She blew up a lighter and searched the place carefully by the light.

"Unless it's underwater."

Soon, Meng Qianqian ruled out this idea.

The underwater area is certainly a place with strong yin energy, but in terms of formation, it is easily isolated by the water surface, making it difficult to form a responsive momentum.

The second well Meng Qianqian found was in the backyard of a coffin shop.

There is no water, it is like a dry well that has long dried up.

Meng Qianqian searched the well as usual but found nothing.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Meng Qianqian realized one thing, that is, there is a well in almost every alley on this street.

This is a very unusual phenomenon.

No one digs wells so densely.

Unless from the very beginning, the feng shui of this street was calculated, and a well was needed to gather energy.

Most of these wells are shallow and dry, making them inconvenient for drawing water.

This also supports Meng Qianqian's guess.

"No wonder the Loulan wizard chose this place. This place is even more suitable for setting up the formation than the Feng Shui Hutong. If I were him, it would be difficult for me to choose a better place for the formation."

After muttering, Meng Qianqian herself felt strange.

The tone of his speech just now was not like himself at all.

Is it mother?

In addition to being a disciple of Qianji Pavilion, my mother also has close ties with Loulan.

The wind chime that belonged to my mother, the knowledge about witchcraft, the memories buried deep in the sea of ​​consciousness, and even my own resurrection.

Meng Qianqian’s head hurts again.

"Still can't think too much..."

She shook her head, cleared her mind of distractions, and concentrated on finding the center of the formation.
-
Small courtyard.

The Loulan wizard sat under a big tree.

A skeleton cane stood beside him, and a circle of wind chimes were blown to produce pleasant sounds.

One of the wind chimes is particularly eye-catching, and its sound is like the sound of nature.

The young disciple listened attentively.

Suddenly, the sound of the wind chimes stopped.

The young disciple regained consciousness and looked at the branches and leaves dancing in the wind, and then looked at his sleeves fluttering in the wind.

The wind was blowing, but the wind chimes stopped.

"Wizard, what happened?"

The Loulan wizard did not answer, but just looked at a clay sculpture in front of him.

The young disciples knew it.

It represents the eye of the formation.

His expression changed drastically!
Could it be... someone is moving the formation's eye? !

"Wizard!" A guard came in hastily, bowed and saluted, "The princess invites you."

The Loulan wizard spoke slowly: "Tell the princess that I am setting up the formation and have no time to split myself. I will come to see you later."

"Yes, wizard."

The guard retreated.

The young disciples were full of envy.

Everyone knows that in Loulan, the status of the princess is almost equivalent to that of the King of Loulan.

Not to mention that the King of Loulan is now bedridden, and the princess is regent, second only to the king and above everyone else. Even the royal family elders of high seniority do not dare to act in front of the princess.

The wizard is one of the few people who can refuse the princess.

When will he become as great a hero as the Wizard?

In a short while, a guest arrived at the Loulan wizard's courtyard.

The young disciple was surprised: "Master Mo?"

Mo Yi ignored him and walked to the Loulan wizard. He glanced at the strange objects on the table and then looked at his skull cane. "The princess ordered me to ask, how long will it take?"

"At dawn at the latest."

The Loulan wizard said, "If they don't act so smart."

Mo Yi frowned.

There were still more than two hours before dawn. He hesitated for a moment and sat down next to the Loulan wizard.

The young disciple hurriedly served a cup of tea.

Mo Yi didn't drink.

He didn't even look at him.

Except for the princess, he acted arrogant towards everyone. The young disciples did not dare to express dissatisfaction and quietly stepped aside.

"What do you mean they're not being smart-assed?"

Mo Yi asked the Loulan wizard.

The Loulan wizard said: "Someone has found the center of the formation."

Mo Yi's eyes were slightly cold: "Didn't you say that your formation was very powerful and no one could break it? It's really unworthy of your reputation that someone found it so quickly."

The Loulan wizard said calmly: "The center of the formation likes shade. If my guess is correct, the one who found the center of the formation should be that little tiger."

Mo Yi frowned even more tightly: "Her again? The woman who broke your witchcraft last time and caused you to almost suffer a backlash? She knows witchcraft?"

He said suspiciously, "This woman is indeed strange. The scouts have investigated her. She is a small merchant girl from Youzhou. She has been unknown for more than ten years, but she suddenly seems to have become a different person. I don't know who is controlling her behind the scenes."

"Control? I don't think so."

The Loulan wizard said in a mysterious way.

"how do I say this?"

Mo Yi asked.

The Loulan wizard said nothing.

Mo Yi knew the wizard's temperament. If he didn't want to say anything, he would keep his mouth shut even if the princess asked.

He looked at the Loulan wizard and said, "Speaking of the center of the formation, what if she found it? From what you said, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing."

There was no need for the Loulan wizard to explain too much to Mo Yi, but Mo Yi was following the orders of the Loulan Princess.

He finally gave her some face: "She thought she had found the center of the formation and could break it by destroying it, but she didn't know that she had an extremely yin body, which was a great tonic for the center of the formation. The center of the first small formation was a decoy for her, making her think she could break it."

"In fact—"

Mo Yi became interested.

The Loulan wizard said, "In fact, if she gets close to the center of the formation, she will use her extreme Yin energy to nourish the center of the formation. Not only will she not be able to destroy Emperor Liang's formation center, but she will also make the formation of the Emperor's blood, which takes two hours to successfully sacrifice, be completed in half an hour."
-
The dark streets were filled with a thick, sickening smell of blood.

Ji Li walked behind Chen Long and patted him on the shoulder: "Hey, it's okay, Xiao Yinhu has found the center of the formation."

Chen Long's murderous aura almost erupted again the moment he touched him.

He killed too many people, got too much blood on his hands, and his swordsmanship was in turmoil.

But the three words "Xiao Yinhu" instantly brought him back to his senses.

The bloodthirsty eyes regained clarity, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off the sword.

This is what his father taught him.

When Daddy is out marching and fighting, no matter how tired he is, or how brutal the battle is, he will never bring blood home.

His cuffs and hem were also splattered with blood.

He tore it off without mercy and turned to walk towards Meng Qianqian.

Ji Li looked at his tattered clothes and said, "What a spendthrift!"

Meng Qianqian stood in front of a dry well.

Lu Yuan and Chen Long were on either side of her.

Lu Yuan asked, "Are you sure the center of the formation is below?"

Meng Qianqian nodded: "My golden silkworm Gu sensed something extremely yin, it should be the witch soil."

Ji Li had just walked nearby with the compass in his hand when he heard this outrageous sentence. He suddenly felt that the compass in his hand was no longer useful.

In fact, Meng Qianqian didn't know that the Golden Silkworm Gu had this effect. It was only when she approached the dry well and the Golden Silkworm Gu reacted strongly that she realized that the witch might be right below.

The saying that witchcraft and sorcery are inseparable has some truth to it.

"I'll go down and take a look."

Chen Long said.

"You can't get down."

Lu Yuan said.

The well mouth was too narrow, and none of the three grown men could get down.

"I'll go down."

Meng Qianqian said.

"No."

Chen Long refused without hesitation, "No one knows what dangers are at the bottom of the well. I won't let you take risks."

As he said this, he walked around to Meng Qianqian and stared at Lu Yuan warily, "If you force her to go down, I will kill you."

Lu Yuan had no intention of letting Meng Qianqian go down.

He glanced at Chen Long speechlessly, blew out a fire starter and threw it into the dry well.

The fire illuminated the bottom of the well.

Apart from some dead branches and leaves, there were no swords or sharp blades.

Immediately he caught another mouse and threw it down.

The mice running around in there were proof that there was no mechanism.

"No danger."

Meng Qianqian said, "I'll go down and take a look."

Lu Yuan said: "Wait for Qingshuang to come."

Meng Qianqian shook her head: "I'm afraid I can't wait."

Lu Yuan: "It's still early before dawn."

Meng Qianqian frowned: "I have a hunch that the time left for Grandfather Huang is shortened again."

Ji Li was stunned: "What did that dog wizard do again?"

Meng Qianqian pointed at the dry well and said, "I don't know. This formation seems to be speeding up. I have to break the core of the formation as soon as possible, otherwise my grandfather will be in great danger."

She doesn't want to lose anyone around her anymore.

I also don't want Lu Yuan to lose his grandfather and let the old lady experience the pain of losing a son again.

"still……"

Before Chen Long could finish his words, Meng Qianqian jumped down.

"you--"

Chen Long and Lu Yuan reached out to grab her at the same time, but she was so fast that they couldn't react at all.

The two of them lay at the mouth of the well and asked in unison: "Are you okay?"

Meng Qianqian landed steadily, looked up and smiled: "It's okay, I'm fine."

The dry well is not deep.

She saw the witch soil placed in the corner at a glance.

"That's it."

She squatted down, stared at Wu Tu who was emitting evil energy, and silently drew out the dagger.

"Mom, if you are still in heaven, please help Xiaojiu."

"what are you up to?"

Lu Yuan asked with a frown.

"Break the formation with blood."

Meng Qianqian's dagger cut through her palm.

In the small courtyard.

The Loulan wizard suddenly opened his eyes: "Blood of the witch!"

"What blood?"

Mo Yi asked strangely.

"The formation is almost complete! It's almost complete!"

The blood of the witch is the purest yin blood. Emperor Liang... is destined to be sacrificed in blood!

The wind chimes on the skeleton staff began to surge again, and the Loulan wizard seemed to feel the powerful force of his blood.

“It’s almost done…it’s almost done!”

He was beyond excited.

He stared closely at the clay on the table that represented the center of the formation, waiting for the final moment when Emperor Liang would be sacrificed.

However, at this moment, an unexpected scene happened.

The clay shattered!

He felt a pain in his chest and suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood!
