the enlightener says

Presumably the current Zhou Gongjin is also blaming himself very much. Obviously he has exhausted all means to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, but because of the previous incidents and some influence from the court, he finally gave up the search of the Gao family.

"Go." Qin Ke turned his head and led the people into the street quickly.

Accompanying him are all the top people in the school office, including detective captain, anti-smuggling captain, halberd captain, etc., which has already reached eight.

Coupled with the school affairs Cao and the school affairs and school affairs scattered people, this is almost the most powerful force of the school affairs government when it does not use the army.

Now that the military camp is in chaos, the school affairs office cannot transfer troops from the barracks for a while, so this force can already be said to be the last force that the school affairs office can use.

For this reason, Zhou Gongjin even let go of some defenses of the school affairs office, putting herself in danger.

But even so, Qin Ke still felt that such power was not enough. Based on the figures calculated by Shen Dao, there must be no less than a thousand pieces of armor transported and hidden in the city these days, so there must be an army of more than a thousand people hidden in the city. in the city.

One person, ten people, or even 100 people are nothing, but if a thousand people spread out in the city and use crossbows and shields to clear the way, even a small master master will have to avoid the edge for the time being.

"The first thing is to rescue General Zhu Ran. Even if there are thousands of troops, they can't take half a step back." Qin Ke said to the detective Wei Chengying who was next to him in the realm of a small master while running.

"Don't worry, You Langzhong, we are deeply favored by the prime minister, we should serve the country, and we will never shrink back." Cheng Ying and several colleagues nodded slightly.

Zhu Ran is very important to Jianye City at this moment. Once something happens to him, no one will be able to suppress the chaos in the army, and the entire Jianye City defenders will fall into a leaderless situation.

Even... Some troops will launch a rebellion because of Gao Changgong's reputation for many years, and the consequences will be disastrous.

As the power of Zhuge Wanling's direct line, the school affairs office has no doubts about its loyalty to Jing Wu, and almost without the slightest hesitation, it took up this heavy responsibility. The hot blood in his chest is not vomiting fast.

But Qin Ke bowed his head amid such impassioned enthusiasm, knowing that reality is often not so happy.

On Lin'an Street.

Standing in the courtyard, Zhu Ran looked at Song Chengming who was lying in a pool of blood in front of him. He seemed to have not swallowed his breath, and stretched out his arms as if trying to grab something.

But this kind of action can only make more blood spurt out from the incision on his body from the shoulder to the abdomen, and soon he lost his strength, and closed his eyes full of regret and unwillingness.

Zhu Ran was silent, obviously killed a great enemy, but the expression on his face did not relax at all, but his eyes scanned Song Chengming's body up and down as if it were real.

"Illusion?" Zhu Ran said softly.

As his words fell, ripples seemed to appear in places visible to the naked eye, whether it was the hard bluestone slab or the low courtyard wall, including the peach tree planted in the courtyard.

Zhu Ran knew that he did not really kill Song Chengming, on the contrary, Song Chengming threw him into a completely illusory realm with his superb spiritual cultivation.

Every flower and tree here, every grass and every tree, seems to be real, but it's just a blindfold.

But this blindfold, did it cover his eyes, or Song Chengming's own eyes?

Zhu Ran has been on the battlefield for a long time, and naturally he has also fought against spiritual practitioners, not to mention that he has read many classics about spiritual cultivation, and knows the various abilities and flaws of spiritual practitioners.

If this blindfold had blindfolded his eyes, no matter where he went, he would just be running in a big dream, and even if he died from exhaustion, he would not see the end.

But if Song Chengming uses himself as a cocoon, then all he can create is this small courtyard. No matter how strong the maze is, as long as Zhu Ran retreats voluntarily, then these illusions will not be able to trap him.

But Zhu Ran stood where he was, but never tried to leave the small courtyard. He just squinted and looked at everything here carefully, not even letting go of a crack in the bricks.

He knows Song Chengming's ability, if he leaves the small courtyard rashly, who knows that the moment when the illusion is shattered, what will be ushered in will never be a clear sky, maybe it is Song Chengming's flying sword, or... other descendants hand?

Thinking of this, Zhu Ran lowered his head slightly, and found that the corpse on the ground had disappeared at some point.

All questions have answers, but obviously Song Chengming will not tell Zhu Ran the answer.

However, Zhu Ran did not expect to start with Song Chengming. On the one hand, he was not in the mood, and on the other hand, he did not have enough time.

So he took a deep breath.

When he opened it again, what he let out was a roar like a tiger and a leopard!

The Valkyrie roared, shocking Siye.

This is a method that can only be used by masters of Qi and blood. With the transfer of Qi and blood plus powerful organs and diaphragms, it is possible to make such a terrible loud noise.

At the beginning, Gao Changgong used a roar to kill countless Xuanwei sons of Wang Xuanwei out of thin air. Although Zhu Ran was not as cultivated as Gao Changgong, the sound of this roar still shook the entire small courtyard.

What shakes is illusion, not reality.

Zhu Ran, who was excited and rushed straight to the head, clenched his hands, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, he raised his right foot decisively and took a step, stepping on a long crack on the bluestone floor.

The broad long knife "Weiguo" was like one of his arms, and he cut it forward unreasonably!

The night wind in the small courtyard is still there.

There was one more figure under the peach tree.

The name of Song City.

I don't know if Song Chengming came under the peach tree when he was bewitching Zhu Ran with illusion, or if he was under that peach tree from the very beginning.

Wei Guo's long sword pierced the air, although it landed in the air, the wind still blew the hair in front of Song Cheng's forehead, making the light in his eyes tremble.

"You are stronger than I thought." Song Chengming's face was pale, and the heavy injuries on his body made him look very haggard.

He didn't expect Zhu Ran to crack the illusion so fast, and he used such a brutal method, which made it impossible for people to parry.

After he finished speaking, he coughed violently, and his originally tall and straight back was hunched, drawing a sad shadow under the peach tree, blood continuously spilled out from the corners of his nostrils and mouth, and wet his elegant clothes.

Chapter 779 Death Realm

Zhu Ran stared at Song Chengming's painful appearance, but did not step forward to end his life.

For spiritual practitioners, the damage from the broken illusion will directly pass through the body skin. Song Chengming is now seriously injured and can no longer pose a threat to him.

Even if this young master-level spiritual practitioner can survive today, his cultivation will be greatly reduced in the future.

Zhu Ran has always been a pragmatic person, and at this moment he needs to save every ounce of his strength, because his enemy is not only Song Chengming, but behind him, there is a really dangerous swordsman.

"You still don't understand that things like illusions have always been tricks for the real strong." Zhu Ran said softly.

"Really?" Song Chengming smiled sadly. After thinking about it, he seemed to finally understand something. Suddenly, while suppressing his cough, he bowed to Zhu Ran, "Thank you, General, Song has the opportunity to fight today. , enough comfort for life. But the general is still wrong, this illusion technique, like flowers in a mirror and moon in water, although it is illusory, even though the water is rippling, it is still in it, please be careful."

He picked up a dry peach tree branch and limped away leaning on his upper body. Looking at his calm look, he was not worried that Zhu Ran would catch up and kill him.

In the dark night, his back looks a little bleak, but it seems to be hiding some kind of secret.

Is this a warning?Zhu Ran frowned slightly, not understanding the hidden meaning behind the words Song Chengming.

"The general is really powerful. In just a few breaths of time, he has already defeated a small grand master with good strength."

Accompanied by footsteps with a vicissitudes and steady voice, Zhu Ran turned around and saw Gong Wu with his hands folded around his chest, leaning against the door frame of the courtyard door, looking a little chic.

"I've heard a lot of compliments like this today." Zhu Ran wasn't in the mood to joke with Gong Wu, his eyes turned and fell on the two long knives around Gong Wu's waist.

Even though the two long knives were in their sheaths and did not show a trace of sharpness, Zhu Ran's vigilance towards Gong Wu was even more vigilant, thinking of this man's terrible sword drawing skills and the so-called "two-day first-class" sword skills.

From the very beginning, Gong Wu didn't try his best, but kept trying to kill Zhu Ran's energy and blood. There were many reasons for this, but Zhu Ran didn't believe that he would have enough time.

It has been a long time since he has been trapped here, no matter how slow the school affairs office is, they should have noticed the strange situation in the city. Before he heard the sound of war drums and horns from a distance, could it be that Gao Changgong was attacking the city outside the city?

This can also be regarded as a means of buying time. A violent siege will inevitably divert attention, but it is by no means a long-term solution.

The encirclement is tightening.

With his extraordinary intuition, Zhu Ran could feel that the dead soldiers around him were constantly shrinking inward, and there were armored figures everywhere in the streets and alleys, with crossbows and knives in their hands eagerly waiting.

Waiting for the moment when he is weak.

"I really respect the general, it's not just a formality." Gong Wu stood up straight, his aura changed, and his temperament became sharper like a sword after being polished.

"If possible, I don't want to be an enemy of the general." Gong Wu put his hands on the handle of the knife, and the tassels woven with cotton thread swayed slowly, like reeds in the wind, making people feel a little lonely for no reason.

"However, due to the kindness of the old man, Gong has a shelter in the homeless wandering, so he doesn't have many choices in this life..."

"It's all nonsense." Zhu Ran said unceremoniously, "Since he refuses to give in, it's better to be straightforward than to imitate girls. You and I have our own missions, don't we?"

Gong Wu was interrupted suddenly, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, looked at Zhu Ran for a while, then suddenly lowered his head and laughed at himself.

"That's right, the general is a soldier, so he hates us the most." Gong Wudao said, "In that case, please, general."

This is the second time the two confront each other head-on, but Zhu Ran looked at Gong Wu's lingering aura, and knew that this time he had finally taken out everything, so he nodded and crossed the broad saber again. Shoulder, level with right eye.

A single stroke determines the outcome.

This is not a common method used by masters at the level of a small master, but both of them poured all their strength into their arms at the same time. Probably, to a certain extent, they are the same kind of people.

Gong Wu had experienced Zhu Ran's overbearing sword, and Zhu Ran had also seen Gong Wu's sword-drawing technique. Perhaps from that day on, the two had foreseen this battle.

Thick clouds swept across the sky like sea tides in the dark night, and the wind kept whistling.

The peach tree was in the middle of the two of them. Because the flowering season had passed, there were no beautiful peach blossoms on it. Instead, it was full of fruit. It must be a good harvest in a few months.

But among the two, who will have the chance to eat that sweet and soft fruit?

Zhu Ran's gaze turned slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, there was a figure standing high in the air, his clothes constantly swaying in the wind.

It was the tallest house in this block, with a height of five floors. It was once built in the period of the Wu Kingdom, but due to years of disrepair, the block no longer returned to the prosperity of the past, so it gradually fell into the wind and sand. grow old.

The man stood on top of the eaves beast. Although he was slender, he was holding a big bow that was nearly one person tall. At the moment, an arrow was being wound on the bowstring.

The bow is huge.The arrows are also huge.When they are combined, their power will never be ordinary.

Zhu Ran knew that this was probably the archer Qin Ke had met. Actually, this was not a surprise, because since it was confirmed that the swordsman was Gong Wu, there was no reason for the archer not to come.

But the problem now is that both Gong Wu and Archer Jia Luo are strong opponents in the realm of junior masters. It is difficult enough to face just one, but how to face the pincer attack of two at the same time?

Zhu Ran closed his eyes. After countless battles, he knew that he only needed to concentrate before the battle, and leave the rest to God's will.

Gong Wu also felt Jia Luo's appearance, although it was not his intention, but he was unwilling and unable to explain too much.

He didn't want to because he knew Zhu Ran wouldn't listen.

No, because he has nothing in his heart at the moment except the knife.

The wind rustled, blowing a peach leaf away from the branch, swirling and falling towards the ground.

The minds of the two were also attracted by this fallen leaf, forgetting their own existence, and even more forgetting everything in this world.

The moment the fallen leaves fell to the ground, Zhu Ran suddenly opened his eyes, as if thunder burst out from them!

Gong Wu's long knife was also unsheathed at the same time!

Zhu Ran's saber was fired first, but it was not aimed at Gong Wu. Instead, as his wrist turned the angle, it splashed a deep silver light. With a sound like a bell ringing, the heavy iron arrow hit the sword Zhong unexpectedly changed direction and flew directly towards Gong Wu!

Gong Wu had two sabers in his hands, and he had no intention of retreating, and at this moment, his sword-drawing skills were fully displayed.

Who would have thought that it was obviously a heavy iron arrow that had been hammered and tempered, but after Gong Wu's sharp knife, it would make the sound of being cut like a wooden arrow!

Within a breath, the body of the arrow cluster split apart in four directions, and shot in four directions with a bang, blasting out large pieces of broken tiles and smoke.

In such a short gap, Zhu Ran took a step!

Bang bang bang bang!

There were almost a series of explosions on the bluestone floor, and no one could see how many steps Zhu Ran had taken in a short period of time. With each step, the soles of his feet were sunk deep into the bluestone, but with the force of the shock Turning around and turning back, he seemed to get a boost and suddenly moved forward.

Compared with his violent advance, Gong Wu's movements were much lighter, but his hand holding the knife was as cast as iron without any trembling.

In the strong wind, the figures of the two passed by each other, almost stopping in no particular order, and the whole world seemed to stand still for a moment...

7 Chapter Eighty Three Items

When Gong Wu stood up straight, he began to feel the severe pain in his body. He lowered his head slightly, and saw a knife wound on his chest that was bleeding blood. The opened flesh and blood looked terrifying.

At the same time, he heard the sound of Zhu Ran falling down.

He turned his head, looked at Zhu Ran with guilt in his eyes, and said, "General, I've offended you."

With a penetrating wound on his body, Zhu Ran stood on the ground with difficulty, feeling the blood in his body gushing out quickly, his body was like a broken water tank, and his strength was constantly overflowing.

He began to think about what went wrong just now, and finally shook his head with a wry smile.

He suddenly understood where Gong Wu's apology came from, and what deep meaning was in Song Chengming's warning when he left.

During the short confrontation between the two, Zhu Ran felt that he had found Gong Wu's flaw, but he was the one who lost in the end, not because of his wrong judgment, but because of a problem with the reality that made him make a judgment.

Reality is not reality, but illusion.

It turns out that illusion has two layers.

The name of Song City is only the first floor, but on the second floor, Zhu Ran seemed to hear the woman's charming laughter in his ears.

Iron arrows, double swords, illusion.

The combination of the three finally cut off the vitality in his body.

It turns out that this is what death feels like.Zhu Ran looked into the distance and saw a figure running towards him. He suddenly showed some smiles and began to reach for his tiger talisman from his bosom.
