Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 173 How to stop the wolf from entering the house

Ji Jie wielded his sword as if he was in an empty space, and attacked fiercely. Although there were heavy guards, Ying Zheng was still frightened and dared not take a step forward. This was more terrifying than Jing Ke back then.

When Qingyu and Jifeng discovered that someone was trying to assassinate His Majesty, they rushed back without hesitation and did not fall into the trap with Daoxuan and others. The four imperial guards each held a weapon, watching every move around them, and guarding Ying Zheng with dignity.

Wang Ben led his troops to surround Hua Qingyue from the rear. Although he could not kill her, he managed to wear her down. Wang Ben shouted, "Stop now, and I will spare your life!"

Hua Qingyue waved the Iron Bone Whip to defeat the besieging soldiers, and said with a smile: "They have started to kill donkeys over there, how could you be so kind as to leave me here? Even if you can't kill Ying Zheng today, you don't have the ability to kill me!"

Wang Ben suspected that these people were not recruited for the rare treasures in the Immortal Palace, but for other purposes. Therefore, he asked Yang Ruihe to join their organization, pretending to be dissatisfied with the emperor on the grounds that he had not been reused and given the proper fiefdom. He learned that this group of people were actually the remnants of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, attempting to restore the monarchy. He wanted to get rid of them all after getting rid of the Immortal Daoyuan. Unexpectedly, Wuzhan spoke up and the plan was disrupted. In addition, Yu Sisi and others wanted to assassinate them without waiting to destroy the Immortal Daoyuan. In order to prevent any sudden changes, he gave orders in advance to open the mechanism and get rid of those people together. However, it was difficult to deal with the people who were missed.

Yu Sisi knew that she was no match for Jin Xingzi, so she controlled the swarm of insects to attack the Royal Guards, while dodging the fire dragons spit out by Jin Xingzi. However, Jin Xingzi was bent on revenge for Wuzhan, so he chased her relentlessly, not caring whether it would affect others or not, and just kept attacking.

Seeing that Ji Jie was less than ten feet away from His Majesty and the Imperial Guards could hardly resist, Heilin leaped up with a black broadsword in his hand, and a black light slashed from the air towards Ji Jie who was charging.

Seeing the black knife coming at him, Ji Jie held his sword horizontally to block it. There was a sharp clang, sparks flew, and a strong wind swept in all directions. Ji Jie's palms went numb and he took three steps back, secretly exclaiming, "This man has such divine power, he really shouldn't be underestimated!"

But Hei Lin was even more surprised. The force of his sword was so great that anyone who could withstand it would either have his arm broken or be cut in half along with his weapon. However, this man only took three steps back, while his own 'Soul-Slaying Sword' was almost lost from his hand. Judging from this, this man's cultivation had reached the level of a wandering immortal. Without stopping, he stomped his foot, turned the 'Soul-Slaying Sword' over, and chopped again with all his strength.

Ji Jie knew that this man was very strong, and instead of fighting with him, he would only suffer. He leaned his body to the left, took a step forward quickly, and suddenly turned his sword. With a humming sound, the sword rang, and a cold light flashed. He stabbed the black scales under their armpits and arrived first.

Hei Lin was already in mid-air. Seeing Ji Jie's sword coming at him so swiftly, he was unable to block it with his knife. He leaned his upper body sideways and kicked Ji Jie's wrist, barely avoiding the sword. However, the opponent turned his wrist and dodged his kick.

Ji Jie swung his sword, and every time the sword hit Hei Lin's vital points, Hei Lin was defeated. At this moment, a sword shadow suddenly appeared from behind him, swift and silent. Ji Jie swung his sword and slashed diagonally. There was a sharp "clang" sound, and a strong wind blew in his face. It was the gale.

The gust of wind made no sound, and the figure flashed, and then became confusing. The sword light covered Ji Jie like a dense rain, and each move was as fast as thunder and meteor.

Ji Jie broke thirty moves in a short moment, secretly admiring the man's swift swordsmanship. However, he was not willing to be outdone. He dodged Hei Lin's huge sword while dancing with the sword to compete with the gale. Between the two of them, sword shadows flickered like illusions, sparks flew, and clanging sounds continued. Ji Jie became more and more courageous as the battle went on. Suddenly, he shook off the gale and let out a long roar that shook the valley.

At this time, Meng Yi had already mobilized twenty crossbow carts, with the crossbows aimed at the center of the venue, ready to fire thousands of arrows as soon as the order was given.

……

Yang Ruihe saw that kerosene was about to cover the bottom of the trap from all sides, and was about to give the order to ignite it. At this time, he heard faint barking sounds from the west side of Mount Li. He looked closely and saw large tracts of trees on the mountain shaking violently from top to bottom, as if a group of wild wolves were running among them. After a moment, he saw several black shadows flying down from a stone cliff more than ten feet high. After landing heavily on the ground, they quickly jumped up, roaring, raising dust, and running towards him. A closer look showed that they were not wild wolves, but black and hideous corpses. The corpses kept jumping down from the stone cliff. In the end, there were as many as three hundred of them, and they were coming with great momentum.

Yang Ruihe's face changed drastically. He looked down at Fen Yuan who was playing the golden flute. He knew that he must have ambushed the corpse ghosts on the mountain and summoned them with the golden flute. He thought that he could only control these corpse ghosts at night, but he didn't expect that he could also control them during the day. He hurriedly shouted, "Throw the fire!"

Burning arrows shot down from all around the wellhead. Jiang Yuan and others were very anxious and would not allow even a spark to fall. Ice swords, hidden weapons, cyclones, and iron fans were all sent out to intercept the rockets. These people were on the same boat at this time and had a tacit understanding with each other. Each of them guarded one side and all the falling arrows were shot down at once.

Yang Ruihe became even more anxious when he saw this. These demons were too stubborn, so he shouted, "Listen to my orders and shoot together!" When the soldiers at the wellhead ignited the arrows, Yang Ruihe gave an order and hundreds of rockets were shot down together. Before they reached half of their target, they were extinguished by the people at the bottom of the well. He fired several more waves in a row, but they still couldn't ignite the kerosene.

The kerosene was originally hidden inside the mechanism. When the switch was turned on, the kerosene would automatically gush out. However, there was no device inside to ignite the kerosene, and they did not expect that igniting the kerosene would be so difficult. If they had not prepared several barrels of burning kerosene in advance and poured them down, even if their cultivation was high, they would have had no choice but to accept the defeat. …

When Wang Ben and other generals saw the zombies attacking like a pack of wolves, they hurriedly mobilized soldiers to form a battle array to resist. Although those soldiers had been on the battlefield for a long time, it was the first time for them to face this roaring zombie group. Their hearts almost jumped into their throats and their bodies could not stop shaking.

The corpse ghost leaped up when it was still three feet away from the army formation, jumped high into the team, waved its sharp claws, and attacked the soldiers frantically, like a tiger among a flock of sheep. Its black and tough skin exuded a fishy smell. Even if it was stabbed by a spear, it would at most somersault and counterattack when it got up, making it difficult to kill it.

In a short time, countless soldiers had their stomachs ripped open and their necks bitten off, wailing and in chaos. If this group of zombies could not be restrained, nearly 10,000 soldiers would be slaughtered.

……

Yang Ruihe looked back at the rampaging corpse ghost, anxiously awaiting his return. However, the rockets were almost used up and they still could not ignite the kerosene below. In desperation, he ordered the soldiers to take off their clothes and wrap them around their armor, ignite them and throw them down. In less than a moment, more than a thousand soldiers around the giant well were shirtless, wearing only short pants, and some were completely naked.

The burning clothes were emitting thick smoke and falling from the sky. The masters who were illuminated by hidden weapons had no choice but to walk on the kerosene, cursing loudly while using their weapons to shoot down the falling burning objects onto an open space with a diameter of less than ten feet in the center. Jiang Yuan then used ice to extinguish the fire. Everyone was already exhausted, but they were still struggling to hold on. In the end, the curses turned into silent curses.

Seeing that the kerosene was nearly ignited several times, Yang Ruihe shouted angrily to the soldiers who were left with only shorts, "Keep taking them off!" The soldiers had no choice but to take off their shorts. In an instant, the team of more than a thousand people was naked. Yang Ruihe ordered the soldiers to wrap the shorts on the spears, ignite them and throw them down together. This trick really worked. The spears were heavy to begin with, and their force was even greater after they fell. The masters below were already exhausted, and they had to guard against being stabbed by the spears, so it was difficult to intercept them all. First, the east side leaked One of the spears fell and ignited the kerosene. Jiang Yuan waved his palm and a blue light flew over, instantly extinguishing the flames that were about to spread. But then all parties missed the spears, and flames rose in all directions and soon became one. Jiang Yuan, Daoxuan and others tried their best to cast magic to extinguish the flames, but their magic power was limited. After the flames were extinguished, they reignited immediately. In a blink of an eye, flames two meters high were burning all around, thick smoke billowed out, the temperature suddenly rose, and the bottom of the well fell into a sea of ​​fire.

Jiang Yuan pressed his palms on the ground, and his true energy continuously flowed into the ground, forming an ice surface with a diameter of five meters around him, isolating the raging sea of ​​fire. Everyone sat cross-legged in it, and although they were not burned, the scorching temperature suffocated them. Their hair was singed, and there was a burning pain all over their bodies. Everyone knew that this was like drinking poison to quench thirst. Once Jiang Yuan's true energy was exhausted, they would eventually die.

Yang Ruihe looked at the raging flames and laughed wildly, "I'll see how long you can hold on!" Before he finished speaking, Fen Yuan jumped into the sea of ​​fire. Everyone thought that he couldn't stand the burning of the fire and chose to commit suicide. However, his body shape suddenly changed and turned into a thin piece, like a piece of black silk. Riding on the heat wave surging into the sky, he floated up lightly. After a few rolls, he floated out of the giant well that was dozens of feet high.

Everyone was shocked, not knowing whether he was a human or a ghost, and how he could use such an evil magic to fly out of the trap. Yang Ruihe was even more panicked. If he escaped, let alone the group of corpses and ghosts, no one would be able to defeat him with his own skills. He hurriedly shouted, "Shoot!" But these soldiers had no arrows, and even threw down their weapons.

The silk-like figure floated above the crowd, then suddenly expanded and restored its original shape. It slowly landed on the ground, with black clothes dancing and a golden flute blowing. It looked like a ghost and its voice was like a midnight ghost crying, captivating people's hearts. After hearing the clear flute sound, the corpse ghosts in the distance suddenly became more ferocious and rushed towards Fenyuan with a roar.

Yang Ruihe shouted, "Push him down quickly!" The naked soldiers had no weapons, so how could they dare to get close? They retreated in fear. Yang Ruihe knew that he had become a sinner for all eternity, and the Qin Dynasty would be destroyed in his hands. He drew his sword and shouted, "I will fight you to the death!" He swung his sword and stabbed Fenyuan, wanting to fall into the trap with Fenyuan and die together.

Before he reached Fen Yuan, Fen Yuan opened his pale fingers, and his arm suddenly stretched more than three times longer. He pinched Yang Ruihe's neck, lifted him up high, and said coldly: "Since you want to die, I will fulfill your wish!" With a "click", Yang Ruihe's neck was broken, and he died instantly, and his body was thrown into the blazing flames.

The soldiers were so frightened that they turned around and tried to flee, but Fenyuan waved his black sleeves and with a "bang" hundreds of black needles shot out, directly into the heads of the fleeing soldiers.

The soldiers who were stabbed by the needles froze in place. As the rhythm of the flute sounded, their eyes gradually turned red, their faces became horrible, sharp bone spurs grew on their fingers, and their breathing made a "thrilling" sound. Following a burst of rapid flute sounds, those soldiers suddenly jumped up, leaped into the panicked crowd, and started a frenzied killing.

Wang Ben watched from afar as Yang Ruihe died tragically at the hands of Fen Yuan, knowing that something bad was going to happen. The person he was most worried about was Fen Yuan, who could control corpses and ghosts to defeat thousands of troops. He thought that the trap would get rid of him and make him die in the sea of ​​fire, and then the group of corpses and ghosts would be out of control. Unexpectedly, this man escaped again, and the Xiandao Academy, which was able to compete with him, was trapped in the trap and was in danger of death. His Majesty was also trapped by Ji Jie and others and could not escape to the Xian Palace for refuge. Now it seems that their entire plan is undoubtedly inviting a wolf into the house, which is extremely stupid and has harmed His Majesty and the Qin Dynasty.

After all, Wang Ben had fought on the battlefield for many years and was always calm. At this critical moment, he did not care about anything else and hurriedly ordered the soldiers beside him to blow the horn. After Zhang Han, who was far away in the Immortal Palace, heard it, he ordered his subordinates to move the switch.

"Rumble..." The burning ground deep at the bottom of the well shook violently and slowly rose up.
