end of days

"Hmm—" Biting his lips to prevent himself from crying out in pain, Zhuo Ran had already scolded the bastard emperor over and over again in his heart, and the pain that directly traveled through the nerve endings made Zhuo Ran feel like being lingering.

Actually——almost...

However, Tuoba Hongxi obviously didn't want Zhuo Ran to die, because every cut he made avoided the vital points, but the pain made Zhuo Ran's eyes black.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

"Heaven—" Luo Ming, who broke in suddenly, couldn't help sighing when he saw such a scene. He knew that it was not a good thing for the emperor to come to the dungeon alone.

"Your Majesty, the enemy has started to attack. Xuanyuanhen has gone crazy for some reason. We can't stop it!" Luo Ming said hastily, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

As soon as the formation was broken, the opponents began to attack. Originally, relying on the strength of both sides, there would be at least a stalemate for a while, but Xuanyuanhen, as an emperor, rushed to the forefront for some reason, which greatly boosted their king's prestige. He couldn't resist the relentless attack.

"What?!" No longer caring about tormenting Zhuoran, Tuoba Hongxi immediately left the dark cell together with Luo Ming.

With a bang, the iron door of the prison cell was slammed shut, Zhuo Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the pain of the wound became clearer as soon as he relaxed.

Couldn't help but gasped, Zhuo Ran looked at the bleeding wound, his mind gradually became dizzy.

Blood loss always makes people feel tired, and Zhuo Ran is no exception. Coupled with the exhaustion from the previous battle, he soon lost consciousness again and fell into a drowsy sleep.

When he woke up again, he found that he had changed to a different place and was no longer hung by the chains. His limbs were much more relaxed, and the cell had become a normal cell.

Not knowing what happened, Zhuo Ran looked at the empty dungeon inexplicably.

Soon, there were noisy voices from outside, and people were moved in one after another. Many of them seemed to be soldiers of their own side. It seemed that Xidi moved because of the ongoing war and the increasing number of captives. Prisoners in each cell house new inmates in order to free up cells.

Carefully paying attention to the movements around him, various thoughts flashed through Zhuo Ran's mind, but he still had no idea how to escape. First, his ankles were still chained, so he couldn't leave the cell; second, Even if he can escape, he is not familiar with Xidi's barracks, and he is not sure that he can escape smoothly.

Suddenly there was a chuckle in his ear, Zhuo Ran raised his head and saw the man who suddenly appeared in front of him.

In front of him was a handsome and gentle looking man, but Zhuo Ran knew that this man was not as harmless as he appeared on the surface, his eyes shone with a cunning light, coupled with the black beast following him, Zhuo Ran felt that he was not as harmless as he appeared on the surface. He didn't dare to underestimate the person in front of him.

"You're already awake." Zhuo Ran was a little annoyed by the deep, joking voice, but the moment he saw that person, he guessed the identity of the person coming.

"Murong Lan." Looking at the man in front of him firmly, Zhuo Ran also evoked a smile.

One look at Murong Lan, and he knew that he was not the same type of person as Tuoba Hongxi and Luo Ming. Although his eyes were full of cunning, there was no malice, and Zhuo Ran's mood suddenly became much easier.

Facing such a person, the first taboo is panic.

"Open the door."

As soon as Murong Lan opened his mouth, Zhuo Ran noticed that there was another person beside him, who seemed to be a soldier guarding the prisoners.

The man frowned, seemed to feel that Murong Lan's order was inappropriate, and was about to persuade him when he suddenly met a pair of pine green eyes and a bloody mouth, Murong Lan's pet Xuan Mo stared at the soldier closely, Until he agreed to Murong Lan's request with a gloomy expression.

With a "click", Murong Lan pushed open the door, stepped forward and was in front of Zhuo Ran.

Looking at the man with eyes full of scrutiny, Zhuo Ran suddenly recalled the scene before coma. For some reason, the giant black mechanism beast did not kill him immediately as expected...

Logically speaking...Murong Lan would be very angry that he destroyed the formation he had worked so hard to set up...

Just as he was thinking, there was another chuckle in his ear.

"Very few people get distracted in front of me."

The two were very close, but Zhuo Ran didn't dare to act rashly. He didn't know the details of the enemy. Murong Lan was famous for his proficiency in formations. Some people once said that his martial arts were not good, but it seemed that no one had really learned about Murong Lan. skill.

Then, before that, you might as well spend some time with Murong Lan.

Murong Lan seemed a little surprised by Zhuo Ran's composure, a look of astonishment flashed across his eyes, but soon his smile deepened again, it would not be a disadvantage if the formation he had racked his brains to think of was broken by such a person.

"To be honest, you surprised me. I thought my formation was perfect, but I didn't expect you to break it so quickly, so no matter what, I want to meet you, and after seeing you, I am even more Surprised." Zhuo Ran's appearance is very good, Murong Lan thought that the one who could break through his formation was probably some old senior, but the person brought back by the mechanism beast was so young, which surprised him.

"Your formation is indeed perfect. Didn't I fail in the end? Otherwise, I wouldn't be lying here." Zhuo Ran laughed at himself. If he could have thought of the climate change earlier, they could have won this battle. more beautiful.

"It's not bad. Now the two sides are directly facing each other. In this battle, I don't know who will win." Murong Lan looked thoughtfully at the sky outside the barred window, as if he could hear the shouts of killing on the battlefield. Voice, he is actually very envious of that kind of pleasure, but it's embarrassing to say, his martial arts are really nothing compared to his cultivation in formations, so he rarely has the time to fight in person.

"Why did you help Xidi?" Intuition told Zhuo Ran that Murong Lan was not a person who liked war.

"I'm originally from Xidi, so what's so strange about helping them?" Murong Lan laughed, Zhuo Ran's way of thinking was strange, it was different from many people he had seen before, and he hadn't thought of it, but just met, this person He started talking to himself.

"You have other purposes." Zhuo Ran hit the nail on the head.

"That's right," Murong Lan said again after sitting down on the stone slum beside him, calling the pet in front of him, and gently patted Xuan Mo's head, "Although I don't know why you are so sure, you are right. Yes, I'm here for a book, a book that the Murong family has been looking forward to for many years."

"With this book, I can live the life I want to live with peace of mind." Freedom is what Murong Lan has longed for since he was a child. Perhaps it is because his elders have seen his talent in mechanism art. However, Murong Lanzhi was raised by the Murong family as an heir, so his life has been monotonous and boring since he was a child.

However, he is not a person who is content with the status quo.

But now, freedom is only one step away from him, and the price is only to help the court set up a formation, so why not do it!

Murong Lan thought about it and suddenly smiled, maybe... After getting rid of the burden on his body, the first place he would go to would be the capital of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, because this handsome man in front of him is really interesting.

Zhuo Ran looked at Murong Lan, whose eyes were full of longing, and suddenly had a feeling in his heart. Murong Lan's eyes at this time actually looked a bit like Xuanyuanhen. Perhaps, people in high positions have experienced a few more things than ordinary people. Even though he is divided, he is even more lonely, and the heights are extremely cold. Murong Lan always has an unfathomable smile on his face, but it seems that no one can really see through his heart.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuanhen's childish smile appeared in his mind, and Zhuo Ran couldn't help laughing. Now Xuanyuanhen's mood is becoming more and more arrogant like a child, as if he wants to make up for the youth he missed in the past During this period, people can't help laughing but can't help feeling sympathetic.

There was no words for a moment, and the whole house was silent.

I don't know how long it took, Murong Lan looked at Zhuo Ran as if he suddenly came back to his senses, with a little apology on his face, in fact, the reason for letting the mechanism beast bring back Zhuo Ran was just because he wanted to see what his opponent was like. Being stopped halfway by Luo Ming, Murong Lan could only let him take away his "spoils of war".

However, now that he has obtained the "Book of Heluo", he naturally doesn't need to make any more concessions.

Luo Ming is a generalist, although the formation was broken by Zhuo Ran, he did not use it as an excuse to make things difficult for Murong Lan. After all, it is not wise to make an enemy of the entire Murong family.

Offering the agreed "Heluo Book" with both hands, Luo Ming devoted himself to the battlefield, and Murong Lan also took this opportunity to have a look at Zhuo Ran's opponent.

At that time, it was just a quick glance, but Murong Lan also saw Zhuo Ran's blood-stained clothes, and then gave the black giant a fierce look.

Zhuo Ran's complexion was very bad, and there was blood on his mouth... The Murong family's organ technique followed the Mo school's way, and they emphasized both love and non-aggression. Murong Lan thought that the mechanism beast was out of control and hurt people. It is a defensive rather than offensive machine, and if someone is injured by it, it is really his own crime.

Seeing him at this moment, the person in front of him seemed to look even worse... Looking at the mottled blood stains on the messy clothes and Zhuo Ran's pale and haggard face due to blood loss, Murong Lan felt a little guilty, and immediately believed that Zhuo Ran had suffered. As a prisoner, Murong Lan respected his opponent, and even felt a little resentful in his heart.

Even though he didn't know medical skills, Murong Lan insisted on taking Zhuo Ran's pulse, and finally heaved a sigh of relief. The person in front of him had congested blood in his chest cavity due to the surge of internal energy. It would be a good thing to spit it out. As for the injuries on his body, they were all flesh wounds. , although it hurts a bit, it is not life-threatening.

But he also noticed that this thin man's meridians seemed to have been damaged before, and he didn't know whether the previous rash use of internal force would have any effect on him.

In fact, Zhuo Ran also had some doubts in his heart. He also checked his body before and found that he was fine. Although there was still some dull pain in his chest, the injury was not serious. He was really afraid of the feeling of the backlash last time, but it seems that after the last time he redirected the qi to return to the meridians, this zhenqi has become much more obedient, and it has become more handy to use.

There are really gains and losses...

Zhuoran didn't know that the use of innate zhenqi was also related to his own state of mind. In the past ten years, his mental tension made him unable to control that strong and domineering force several times. After being forced by Xuanyuanhen last time, His mood was suppressed to the extreme, but recently, perhaps because his mood gradually became brighter, or maybe it was the hearty battle before, he became more and more relieved.

The Wuji Gate pays most attention to the way of nature, the harmony of body and mind, and the control of innate energy can be handy.

It is the so-called, all laws return to one.

Anyway, this discovery made Zhuo Ran ecstatic. Since his body is fine, it is not too difficult to escape, and Murong Lan doesn't seem to have any intention of embarrassing him, so Zhuo Ran feels much more at ease.

"By the way, I don't know the name until now, I wonder if you can tell me, brother?" Murong Lan has a good impression of Zhuo Ran, and after some chatting, he soon became acquainted.

"Excellent."

"Let me help you escape." Murong Lan has never had any national righteousness in his heart. Although he is from Xidi, he only has a world in his heart. His kindness will only be shown to people he likes.

"You don't want that book anymore?" He didn't forget Murong Lan's purpose, Zhuo Ran didn't want to ruin his dream either.

"Don't worry, I've already got it." With the "Book of Heluo", he was about to leave, and it would not be difficult for him to take someone away from the prison.

"That's fine." Sensing Murong Lan's kindness, Zhuo Ran had no reason to refuse.

But at this moment there were voices from outside the prison, new prisoners were brought in, the leading soldier opened the door of the next cell and pushed a few people in, and looked around Murong Lane with some doubts.

Recognizing that the person standing in the cell was the celebrity in front of the coach, he didn't dare to make a mistake, he bowed and then retreated, but Zhuo Ran's eyes were fixed on the person in the cell next door.

If I'm not mistaken...

That man is—

"Pei Di?!" The person who should have died ten years ago suddenly appeared in front of him. At first, Zhuo Ran thought it was just a similar appearance, but after looking carefully for a long time, he found that even the temperament of that person was similar to that of his old friend. Same.

The people in the cell next door couldn't help but look this way when they heard the voice, their black eyes suddenly widened.
