It doesn't matter what the lord is.

Lid drew his sword and held it in his hand. He glanced at the elite guards of Xiqin who were approaching the execution platform step by step, and said to Xiao Hei:

"We can't gamble, let's try other ways first. I'll ask Chao, and you find a way to kidnap the Lord of Xi Qin as a hostage."

Xiao Hei nodded and tightened the copper stick in his hand.

The whole conversation between the two people lasted only about ten seconds, and then they separated in tacit understanding. Lide did not hesitate at all, took a breath, and the sword in his hand was like a nimble and changeable snake, and his sword energy instantly collided with Tingchao's. Mr. Tingchao obviously raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face faded a little, and his eyes looked at Lide quietly.

"Your sword is very powerful. Others' sword skills limit their realm improvement, but your realm limits your sword skills."

Tingchao said seriously that he had fought with Lid for several rounds, using only defensive moves:

"However, your right hand seems to have been injured. Even the most sophisticated swordsmanship will have flaws because of this."

Tingchao blocked Lide's attack with his sword, then suddenly changed his move and knocked the sword out of Lide's hand.

Reed didn't seem surprised by the result, and he raised his fist and punched forward.

19. The Monster I Raise

Young people, don’t talk about martial ethics!

Mr. Tingchao was a little surprised at first, because most people who use swords would retreat as soon as the sword slips out of their hands. Especially since Lid had other swords on him, according to normal thinking, he should have pulled out his sword and then stepped forward again. But he didn't. After the sword was knocked out, Lid rushed forward and punched without thinking. This fighting style is like that of a street thug, seemingly cruel but actually full of flaws.

But when the fist got close to Tingchao, Tingchao suddenly realized that this punch was not simple.

He didn't study boxing too much, but he could see the subtlety in it. This was just the beginning. If he simply parried, Lid would have too many backhands and could catch his flaws to perform a perfect combo. So Tingchao mobilized his sword energy without hesitation and knocked Lid away, without taking the punch.

Lid almost fell off the execution platform, and he retreated to the edge before he could barely keep his balance. Tingchao also took two steps back, his clothes torn on his chest, and bruises were faintly visible. But there was no displeasure in his eyes, but a little appreciation.

It is obvious that Lid's boxing and swordsmanship are equally exquisite.

There was no smile in Reed's eyes. He had already asked the little ghost in his mind, but the information given by the little ghost made him depressed: she said that her ability might have little effect on Tingchao, because her illusion was different from Merlin's. The little ghost's illusion essentially used the desires in people's hearts to create mirages. The stronger the desires, the deeper they would be trapped in it.

But from what she said, Mr. Tingchao seemed to be the kind of person with very low desires.

His biggest wish is to be at home with his children, and he is fulfilling this wish every day.

Although the little ghost's illusion could restrain Tingchao for a moment, that time was too short for Lid to kill him. After using this ability once, Mr. Tingchao would definitely be cautious and alert, and it would become increasingly difficult to kill him in the future.

Li De pulled out a spear from his back and held it in his hand, recalling the body movements used by the Qingpingshan disciple named Mingzhu when he was in Nanchu. Mingzhu later went to Yunyang as promised, and Li De also allocated funds to help him rebuild the mountain gate, and asked him about the secret of this body movement. For the defensive party, Qingpingshan's body movement is still very useful, and there are many concepts about "dissipating force" in it. At that time, Mingzhu relied on this move to survive two moves from Li De.

"Qingping Mountain Ghost Shadow Step?"

Tingchao was obviously a connoisseur. He held the sword in his hand and said with a smile:

“I thought it was lost.”

Lid looked at him and silently calculated the time. The escape route was completely blocked by the elite guards of Xi Qin, and there were only a few minutes left. Mr. Tingchao was basically fighting one against two. While fighting with Lid, he could also use his sword energy to protect the lord of Xi Qin. Lid had to make him focus more on fighting with himself.

Thinking of this, Reed no longer held back.

Except for the power of Clenus, he applied all the experience of killing accumulated in his previous life and this life. His offensive was like a violent storm, and his precious weapons were consumed rapidly. Mr. Tingchao's face became more serious. Finally, at a certain moment, when Lid judged that he could cause some trouble to Tingchao, he used the power of the little ghost.

This is an extremely important trump card in his hand.

As expected, Tingchao's eyes were a little dazed for a moment, but it was really just a moment.

The dagger in Lid's hand was only about three millimeters away from his neck, but this distance could not be made up. If Lid's right hand had not been injured, perhaps the dagger would have cut his artery, but unfortunately there was no if. Tingchao's momentum suddenly exploded, and Lid once again saw the tsunami-like sword energy——

The difference is that this time it’s a real killer move.

Lid's clothes instantly had countless tears, and blood oozed out of his whole body, but Lid withstood the pressure until all of Tingchao's sword energy was concentrated on him. He suddenly shouted:

"Xiao Hei——"

The copper rod touched the chest of the Lord of Western Qin. Xiao Hei almost broke the execution platform with one foot and rushed towards the Lord of Western Qin quickly.

Mr. Tingchao had no time to return to defense.

If Xiao Hei was given another second, he would be able to grab the Lord of Xi Qin by the neck and use him to order everyone present to make way.

But the Lord of Western Qin remained expressionless, and even Reed could vaguely see that he seemed to smile very lightly.

But at that moment, Li De's hair stood on end, and a very bad premonition suddenly came to his mind. He remembered what Xiao Bai had just said to him. Perhaps Xiao Bai had realized Li De's plan. He wanted to warn Li De of the danger, not from Mr. Ting Chao, but from the Lord of Xi Qin!

Xiao Hei's hand did not catch the Lord of Western Qin.

As if something invisible and intangible was blocking his way, Xiao Hei first saw a cloud of blood mist burst out, and then realized that a piece of flesh and blood had been scraped off his chest. He had no time to brake, so he simply used the copper stick in his hand to prop up the ground, doing a pole vault-like movement, and rolled over the Western Qin lord to another place.

The Lord of Western Qin stood up calmly, patted the dust off his chest, and looked at Xiang Hei.

At that moment, Lid clearly saw a thing that looked like both a spider and an octopus appear above his head. This thing seemed to have no substance, and was covered with black air. The head in the middle was a spider with many bright red eyes, but the eight legs were limp octopus tentacles, and the one that just scraped off Xiao Hei's flesh was one of the tentacles.

Cold sweat rolled down Reed's cheeks.

This thing should have been there from the beginning. But when Lid was not aware of its existence, he could not see it at all. After it took the initiative to attack Xiao Hei, Lid instinctively thought that "there seemed to be something there", so he could suddenly see it. But seeing it does not mean there is a countermeasure, just like now, the tentacles of that thing are squirming rapidly and rushing straight towards Lid.

Reed discovered that there was a mouth on its abdomen, where the tentacles connected to the head.

Human mouth, human teeth, human tongue.

Biting towards Reed's head.

The tentacles of Clenus suddenly appeared behind Reed, and the surging soul power directly bounced the twisted monster away.

He took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and looked at the Lord of Xi Qin. Taking this opportunity, Xiao Hei also stood up smoothly, supported by the copper stick and withdrew, and said to Lid:

"Feel sorry."

Lid spat out the blood foam in his mouth and cursed:

"I don't blame you. Who the hell would have thought that this man would keep a monster on himself... It seems unlikely that the Lord of Xi Qin will be held hostage. Let's go."

Lid glanced at the dark mass of guards under the execution platform and suddenly felt that they looked quite friendly, at least they were still human. However, it was not easy to fight their way out of the siege, not to mention that Tingchao and the Lord of Xiqin would definitely not let them pass smoothly.

Xiao Hei also understood the current situation. He tore off his clothes, revealing a solid body of tendon meat with a set of complex patterns carved on it. Lid took a look and thought it was probably a witchcraft he had never seen before. This should also be Xiao Hei's unique skill. Considering that he didn't use it at the beginning, it is estimated that the side effects will be great.

Reed calculated the possibility of breaking out in his mind and could feel that the situation was changing rapidly and was not optimistic.

However, before Xiao Hei could take action, a gust of air suddenly rushed straight into the sky from the city, and the sound of the explosion echoed in the city for a long time.

Reed glanced over there and breathed a sigh of relief.

That direction is the Twelve Dragon Prisons.

20. Countless pairs of eyes

"Mr. Bai Ma, this is not very kind. Not only did he give me a fake name, but he also didn't send anyone to inform us of this event."

The tall woman held a small folding fan in her hand, covering her cherry lips. She looked at Lid with a pair of charming eyes, smiling. Lid remembered the voice, it was Diao Qiu who was once imprisoned in the Twelve Dragon Prisons. He threw the key in at that time, but he didn't expect Diao Qiu and others to escape from prison, he just arranged a chess piece.

Now it seems that it is no wonder that Xi Qin has to send out such an exaggerated force to guard these people. They only need a little help and a little chance to escape from the prison. However, not all the prisoners in the Twelve Dragon Binding Prisons came to help. Including Diao Qiu, only six came.

But the realms of these six people are all above the middle of the ninth level, and their aura is far beyond the reach of ordinary masters. Take Diao Qiu for example. Diao Qiu's clothes are very thin, outlining her exquisite curves, and her eyes are so charming that they seem to melt iron and stone. But her aura is obviously not that of an ordinary brothel guest. She is like a real fox, bewitching people, but with sharp claws and fangs, and can live by drinking blood.

The other five people were a big guy carrying a dark green sword, a middle-aged man with half his face wrinkled by flames, a child with one pure white eye and one pure black eye, a monk with his hands clasped together, and a skinny woman with a crazy smile. The only aura that these people had in common was the smell of blood. It was certain that they had killed countless people and caused unimaginable disasters. They were truly vicious and evil sinners.

Diao Qiu looked at the Lord of Xi Qin and said with a faint smile:

"I suffered a lot when I was defeated by you. If it weren't for this gentleman's rescue, I would have spent my whole life in that dank dungeon. This world is full of chaos. You have to repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the guards close to her all had a hole in their chests.

The other five people also took action. These people were much more terrifying than the evil people recruited by Yunyang Evil Valley. They were even worthy of the unparalleled territory like Xiqin to build a prison specifically for them, and also sent a great swordsman like Mr. Tingchao who was at the tenth level of realm to guard them. Now that the tiger was released back to the mountain, it would naturally eat people!

Mr. Tingchao held his sword, looking as if he had nothing to do with the matter. He even had time to comment on Lid:

"I didn't expect you to have such a back-up plan. You can be said to be well prepared."

Lid glanced at the bottom of the execution platform. The guards' flesh-and-blood wall was broken by the criminals, and in the distance were the ordinary people watching. These people were also very dedicated, watching the show attentively. Even if there was a fight here, they had no intention of leaving and stayed at the forefront to watch.

Now is the best chance to get out of here.

But the question is, will Lord Xiqin and Mr. Tingchao let them go? If they turn around now, they will be attacked immediately.

After thinking for a while, Lid said to Xiao Hei:

"How long can you last?"

Xiao Hei replied briefly:

"The secret method of burning blood will take about five minutes."

Lidd said:

"Leave the monster that the Lord of Xi Qin is carrying to me. You hold Tingchao back for two minutes. Alayya will break out first."

Xiao Hei nodded.

Alayya knew that this was not the time to be indecisive. Even though she was concerned about the safety of the young master, she could not stay. She had to take Xiaobai and run away first. Only by running away from here could she have a chance of survival. But the guards obviously understood this, and they were willing to risk their lives to stop Alayya even if they were attacked by the six great sinners.

The patterns on Xiao Hei's body turned red, and the copper stick hit Mr. Tingchao's sword hard. This time Mr. Tingchao had to be more serious.

The tentacles behind Lid fought several times with the monster on the body of the Xiqin Lord, but also did not gain much advantage. The thing on Xiqin should be related to a Kungu, but I don't know which of the twelve pillars it is. Of course, this thing should not be the body of the twelve pillars, but just a familiar. Lid has no time to study it in depth.

Reed can use the power of Clenus to crush the monster brought by Lord Xi Qin, but no matter how many times, the monster will be resurrected.

But it doesn't matter, Reid was just stalling for time anyway.

After confirming that Alayya had broken through the guards' defense line with Xiaobai on his back, Lide gave Xiaohei a look, and the two turned around, jumped off the execution platform, and cut a bloody path among the guards. In front of them were the people of Xiqin and merchants from various territories. Lide thought that since he couldn't take the lord of Xiqin as a hostage, he could take these people as hostages.

As long as we can use them to create enough chaos, there will be a chance to escape from here.

Reed, Xiao Hei and Alayya almost simultaneously stepped into the sea of ​​people from Western Qin.

At that moment, Reed was stunned.

He realized something was wrong because the people did not disperse.

Normally, ordinary people would flee in all directions because they value their lives, but now they don’t.

All of them turned their eyes to Reed and just looked at him quietly.

Lid thought again of the drunkard who died in Bieyun Town and the rich young master who left in a hurry.

"The people of Xi Qin have a wrong look in their eyes—"

Reed's body trembled violently.

He finally understood what had been happening in Xi Qin and why this territory had become stronger.

Because the people here are no longer ordinary human beings.

When Reed realized this, he could "see" again.

There were thousands of people gathered here, and each of them had a monster on his head. However, unlike the one on the head of the Western Qin lord, their monsters seemed to be lower level. Moreover, the Western Qin lord had self-awareness, but those people were obviously just a shell, hanging by the spider silk hanging from the monster on their heads.

For example, now, they were looking at Lid, Xiao Hei, Alayya, and Xiao Bai behind Alayya, all showing a weird smile. Xiao Hei reacted quickly, and after cursing "grass", he smashed several civilians' heads with a stick without saying anything, but they were still able to walk as usual without their heads, and stretched out their arms to catch Lid and others.

Thousands of people, same reaction.

Thousands of arms stretched out here!

Those with heads are smiling, and those without heads and the heads on the ground are still smiling.

There were spider-like and octopus-like monsters on their heads, and a human face protruding on their backs. The human face was the same as theirs, but their expressions were extremely painful, as if they were buried alive. And these people controlled by the monsters seemed to have some kind of immortality, attacking Lid and Xiao Hei tirelessly and without feeling any pain.

Afterwards, a sound of breaking air was heard behind Lid and Xiao Hei. Lid turned around and saw Tingchao holding a sword and the monster above the head of the Lord of Xiqin rushing towards them at the same time.

There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind, this is a situation where you are bound to die.

Even the big criminals led by Diao Qiu were too late to come to support, and the sword in Ting Chao's hand was about to stab Xiao Hei's chest.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside Lid——

"Squat down!"

After realizing whose voice it was, Reed, Alayya and Xiao Hei immediately lowered their bodies.

Then, in the eyes of everyone in Xi Qin, they seemed to have disappeared in an instant.

Only Reed, Alaiya and Xiao Hei could see each other, and also the white-haired man who was squatting like them and holding a staff in his arms.

His smile was as reassuring as ever.

"We arrived a little late, but luckily we made it in time."

Merlin shook his jingling staff, and several fake Reed, Alayya, Little Black and Little White suddenly appeared in various places in the city and ran in different directions.

He glanced at Xiaobai, who was barely breathing, behind Alayya, and said softly:

"Let's go...let's leave here first."
