out of time

At the moment when the terrifying aura erupted, the isolated space swayed infinitely, the lake water stirred up, nothingness distorted, and the rain trembled.

Clouds and mist appeared in the sky of this space, rapidly tumbling into a vortex, rumbling and turning, connected with the fog on the lake, as if connecting the sky and the earth, forming a tornado.

Shocking, the coercion enveloped the Quartet, and the rain poured all around.

The black rune floating in front of the fog, under the tornado and in the terrifying atmosphere, was constantly shaking, and cracks appeared that could not heal itself.

Flowing black blood.

There are also cracks forming on the talisman paper that turned into a long street.

The churning that seemed to come from the fog group released a shocking force, which surpassed the scope of the two talisman papers, making it appear unbearable.

Inside the talisman paper, there was a blurred face that turned into an illusion at this moment, staring fixedly at the fog where Xu Qing was. Although the specific appearance of this face could not be seen clearly, the gloomy expression in that expression was extremely strong.

At the same time, the 52 iron chains extending from the lake were shaking violently. As the fog roared, the iron chains rattled and trembled, and seven of them broke in an instant!
The lake water roared, and the shattered iron chain collapsed inch by inch, turning into flying ash, and the same was true for the lake threads inside, which were directly torn off by the huge struggling force coming from the fog.

Seeing this, the face inside the black rune showed a look of unwillingness, and a strange voice came out of its mouth.

"The Daoist asked: What should we do if we exchange water and evil spirits and eliminate ghosts and evils? We all say: Those who do not obey my orders will be beheaded!"

The sound like howling ghosts and wolves spread in all directions, the lake surface churned, and a long knife made of lake water flew out from the water surface and slashed towards the fog where Xu Qing was.

The speed was extremely fast, setting off countless raindrops, breaking the void, shattering the sky, and becoming extinct.

At the same time, the black rune itself began to burn, and the green flame rose up, blessing itself, and going to forcibly brand it.

The Talisman of the Long Street also exploded, increasing the scrolling.

And Xu Qing, who was the source of all this, was bent and trembling violently in this misty storm at this moment, and let out a roar that didn't sound like a human voice.

The indescribable pain swept through his body and soul like a cataclysm, tearing apart his divine body, emitting a dark and more poisonous mist.

In the blink of an eye, seven more chains tied to his body broke with a clicking sound.

There are also fourteen soul-suppressing nails nailed into his body, which were forced out from his body. Amidst the sound of bang bang, they rolled up and shot out, piercing through the fog, and went straight to the outside of the fog. Coming Waterjet.

The sound of banging spread, and the water knife was directly penetrated through fourteen holes, heading towards the black runes and the long street rune paper.

In an instant, it penetrated again.

The black runes were riddled with holes, and a corner of the long street rune paper trembled, and their damage caused the power of the sealed place to drop sharply. In the next moment, the fog suddenly churned to the sky.

In the rumbling sound, the remaining iron chains, lake wires, and nails collapsed one after another and were forced out quickly.

The broken water knife continued to be penetrated, and finally fell into pieces when it sank into the fog.

But at this moment, the last iron chain, the last lake thread, and the last nail shattered one after another, and the fog burst out violently.

At the same time as the roar left and right, the mist suddenly shrank inward and inward, and when it swelled and retracted, an earth-shattering figure appeared in the mist.

Ancient, dark, and killing are the first impressions of this figure.

He couldn't see any skin all over his body, and was covered by black armor, even his head was like this, which was extremely terrifying, especially where the eyes were, where a faint fire was actually burning.

The indifference is so obvious that it can make people's hearts palpitate.

Wisps of black mist curled up from the armor, quickly gathered behind it, and turned into a black cloak that seemed to be able to cover the sky and sun in the blink of an eye.

The cloak fluctuated with the vortex of the sky, covering this space, decayed and poisonous, spreading endlessly.

Like a devil.

This is Xu Qing's superimposed second-level spirit state. In this state, it seems that everything will wither and perish in front of him.

The same is true of the yin and yang water evil situation.

Xu Qing raised his head and took a step forward. He appeared in front of the black rune while the earth shook. He raised his right palm, which was so dark that it didn't look like a human hand, and grabbed it.

The black runes burned violently, emitting black smoke, like black dragons, roaring towards Xu Qing from all directions, but the moment they approached, their roars turned into screams.

In Xu Qing's current state, the poison has reached the limit of what he can show, it can invade all things, those black dragons have been affected and affected, and continue to dissipate.

The pitch-black helmet covered Xu Qing's expression, but his exposed eyes radiated a faint fire. He ignored the screaming black dragons, grabbed the black rune with his right hand, and squeezed it hard.

With a click, the runes collapsed, and the surrounding black dragons turned into black blood and fell into the lake.

And Xu Qing knew that he couldn't hold on for too long in this state, so after crushing the rune at this moment, he raised his head and looked coldly at the end of the long street.

On the talisman paper of the long street full of holes, a figure suddenly appeared.

This figure is strange, it is not flesh and blood, but a black paper man.

It stood on the street with the upturned talisman paper, and there was a glint of indifference in the drawn eyes. It stared at Xu Qing, and opened its mouth slowly.

"I follow the laws of ghosts and the underworld, the rivers, the sun and the moon..."

At the same time as these paradoxical words came out, Xu Qing rushed out without any hesitation before he finished speaking, with terrifying momentum, heading straight towards the paper man.

The paper figurine looked as usual, fell backwards, and lay directly on the talisman paper, instantly fused with it, and continued.

"...The mountains, seas and stars are in my palm, and I make the light to be bright, and the dark to be dark, and the curse is as urgent as a law!"

The moment Xu Qing arrived, the sound dissipated, and the long street talisman was tumbling violently at this moment, erupting from the front and rear ends at the same time, and quickly rolled towards Xu Qing.

Like a huge wave, it exudes terrible coercion.

Seeing this, Xu Qing raised his right hand and pressed hard on the ground.

The moment it was shot on the surface of the water, the space shook violently, and everything around it was decaying and being attacked.

The lake water turned black in an instant, and the rules here were forcibly polluted in an instant.

Everything has become a part of the drug ban, controlled by Xu Qing, and exploded together. The vortex on the sky in this space also descends at this moment, blending with the fog of drug ban, towards this talisman paper the size of a long street, Severely suppressed.

The roaring sound, like a torrent of bells, resounded in all directions, and the sound of the mirror shattering reverberated. The seal from the yin and yang water evil immediately collapsed.

In Xu Qing's eyes, the world returned to normal at this moment.

Long street, still long street.

The rain is still falling.

Only pieces of black paper money fell from the sky and melted into pieces in the rain. Xu Qing raised his hand to catch one of them.

His body also recovered at this time, and the moment he lifted his spirit state, blood overflowed from the corner of Xu Qing's mouth.

At this moment, there was a whistling sound in the distance. Although this kind of fighting in the imperial capital was concealed, it was difficult to last for a long time. Now it has been noticed.

Xu Qing didn't move, he remained vigilant, looked forward, took out the jade slip at the same time, and started sound transmission.

Soon, figures appeared one after another, all of whom were holding swords. They were patrolling the area, so they rushed over immediately. After seeing Xu Qing and the black paper money falling around them, their expressions changed and they looked at each other Finally, know that this is a big deal!
After all, this is the imperial capital, and an assassination here is extremely serious, especially when the target of the assassination is Xu Qing!
Then this matter is bad.

So immediately began to collect traces here.

Not long after, two rainbows flew towards Xu Qing from different directions, appeared behind the long street, and headed straight for Xu Qing.

One is Zixuan and the other is Li Yunshan.

Seeing the two of them, Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yunshan's face was gloomy and he looked around. Zixuan looked angry. After arriving and confirming that Xu Qing was fine, her expression calmed down a little. Li Yunshan was about to speak.

Xu Qing shook his head.

"Go back and talk."

Li Yunshan nodded, and under their escort, Xu Qing left quickly and returned to Ning Yan's mansion safely all the way.

The moment he returned, the mansion was heavily guarded, and the captain who had disappeared for several days had also returned with a solemn expression, looking at Xu Qing together with Zixuan and Li Yunshan.

"This is a pre-arranged game."

Xu Qing spoke calmly.

"Meng Yunbai invited me to Hongchen Tower. He knows my whereabouts and is one of the suspects."

"In the Red Dust Building, the emperor's son of the Star Emperor's Supreme Sect had some inconspicuous conflicts with me. He may also be one of the suspects."

"And everyone I met during this trip, including Huang Kun, is suspected."

"But these are all on the bright side. There may be other parties in the dark who have carried out the assassination for different purposes. For example, the Seventh Prince has a motive."

"The Assassin is a black paper man. It doesn't have life, it's more like an incarnation. Its cultivation is not a spiritual treasure, but a return to the void..."

"Also, its technique claims to be a Taoist curse, which contains the feeling of ghosts and monsters, but it is too obvious, and it is suspected of setting blame."

"In addition, there are several doubts about this assassination. First, why do you dare to assassinate me in the imperial capital? If I die, it will not be a good thing for all parties in the imperial capital, but all parties are obviously slow to notice."

"Second, the assassin seems to be powerful, but according to what all parties know about me, I know that I have the Sun of the Dawn, and I have a series of victories, so I shouldn't just dispatch such an assassin."

"Third, during the battle, I had a hunch that the other party was more like a dead soldier and wanted me to blow up the Sun of Dawn. However, it is difficult to tell whether the other party deliberately caused this feeling to me to mess up my thoughts."

……

After Xu Qing told all the details and doubts about the assassination, he raised his right hand, and there was a piece of black paper in his palm.

"This assassination, in the end, gave me the feeling that it was not to kill me, but to use this method to turn me into a chess piece, to take the step that the people behind the scenes wanted."
