Mao Tuan always wants to attack me
Chapter 97 The Return of the King
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Stop them!"
Seeing that the city gate could no longer be closed according to the order, the guard on the wall immediately ordered to block the pace of the attacking army with bows and arrows.
"Swipe!"
Arrows rained down.
Seeing the bows and arrows raining down on the ground, Xiao Yun consciously wanted to pull Bai Shuyu to avoid them, but the rain of arrows was nothing to the emperor.Bai Shuyu stayed in place calmly, and an invisible defensive air shield stretched out around his body, blocking all the sharp arrows shot at them.
Marshal Zhao Yi, who was in charge of commanding the siege, boarded the tall command tower and ordered the flag soldiers to wave the battle flag to convey the military order.
"Beast Camp, get ready!"
The tall and armored beasts came to the front of the formation.Facing the defenders on the city wall, if they attack with heavy firepower, the city wall will be destroyed. As the real master of the capital, Bai Shuyu does not want to cause such consequences.
Therefore, he asked Marshal Zhao Yi to formulate a new tactic.That is to use the power of the alien beasts in the army.
At the order of the marshal, the beasts opened their mouths wide, and a poisonous mist that caused people to be stunned came out from them.The mage in the army prayed for the wind, and directed the poisonous mist blown by the alien beasts towards the city wall.
A quarter of an hour later, Bai Shuyu's army entered the city unscathed.Some soldiers stayed behind and helped to drag away the defenders who were drowsy after inhaling the poisonous mist on the city wall.
After entering the city, the morale of Bai Shuyu's party was high, and they broke through several difficulties one after another, and finally came to the bottom of the gate tower at the main entrance of the palace.Bai Shuyu rode the Snow Pattern Flying Dragon, while Xiao Yuntian sat behind him and looked up.
Just a few months ago, a huge military parade was held here.It was also at this place that the army brought by Bai Qiming rebelled, joined forces from inside and outside, captured Xuecheng, and broke into the imperial palace, forcing Bai Shuyu to withdraw from the city and go all the way south to retreat to Mocheng.
30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi.
Unexpectedly, less than half a year after Bai Qiming usurped the throne, there would be a confrontation between two different forces in Syracuse again.A few months ago, Bai Qiming led hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry to the city, but today, a similar scene happened again.But the situation is similar, the name is very different.How can the robber who broke into the house be compared with the wanderer who just returned to the house?
Xiao Yuntian looked at Bai Shuyu from the side.The emperor's expression was very calm, without any emotion of agitation or hatred at all.Xiao Yuntian still remembered that when he just went to Mo Mansion, he secretly cried because he was forced to withdraw from Xuecheng.However, in just a few months, the young emperor, who was sparse in the past, has regained his strength and learned to be calm through the experience of ups and downs.
The trip to the snow-capped mountains taught him that the necessary qualities to be a successful king are not only strong skills and the ability to strategize, but also a tough and indifferent state of mind.
In front of the tower, the two armies fought fiercely.The surrounding lights continued to shine, spells flew around, and Nightingale led the shadow guards to guard the emperor's surroundings firmly, while the emperor jumped off the flying dragon's back and headed for the palace without stopping.
Xiao Yuntian followed behind him, keeping a distance of two meters from him, monitoring the movements of the surrounding animals.Whenever the enemy's alien beasts try to break through the defense and attack fiercely, Xiao Yuntian will use his spiritual power to force them to stop attacking with the coercion of the beast seal.
"emperor……"
"Ok?"
Looking at the gate of the imperial palace ahead, Xiao Yuntian couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, are you sure that Bai Qiming is staying in the palace? The battle inside Snow City is so fierce, he saw that the momentum was wrong, maybe he had already left Sneaked away from the palace."
Bai Shuyu paused, and said firmly: "No, he didn't leave, but stayed in the palace all the time."
Xiao Yuntian was a little confused: "Did the emperor use spiritual power to perceive his position?"
Bai Shuyu said: "Before this, I was able to make such a conclusion because I knew him well. This Bai Qiming has fought for the throne all his life, and I have a hunch...he will not run away no matter what. .Even if he dies, he will die on the throne."
Xiao Yuntian was startled.Hearing Bai Shuyu's deduction, he was in a complicated mood and didn't know what to say for a moment.For the sake of being a human being, Bai Qiming can be regarded as a very persevering and obsessed person.It's just that what he held tightly was something that belonged to others, and this obsession turned into paranoia. No matter how steadfast he was, what he did only touched himself.
In fact, from the perspective of a bystander, Xiao Yuntian could even understand Bai Qiming's thoughts.The throne means great power and endless glory and wealth, there is no doubt about it.All over the Bai Kingdom, not to mention the royal family, any ordinary commoner might have had such a dream of a beautiful woman in the country.
However, he did not agree with Bai Qiming's act of usurping the throne and seizing power for such selfish reasons.During the lifetime of the first emperor, Bai Qiming failed to surpass his elder brother to succeed to the throne, so he put his idea on the head of the next generation and snatched the throne from his nephew.
Bai Qiming only saw the benefits of being on the throne, but failed to fulfill his duties as a monarch.During his reign, the north was in a state of fragmentation and chaos. The aristocratic families were intriguing internally and exploiting the people externally. He even led the army of the Demon Kingdom into his own door.Putting aside selfishness and the procedure of ascension, Xiao Yuntian also believed that Bai Shuyu would become a better ruler than him.
Bai Shuyu and Xiao Yuntian stepped into the palace gate one after the other.They saw a familiar figure in front of Zhengyi Palace.
It's Bai Qiming.He stood alone in front of the gate of Zhengyi Palace, with his hands behind his back.The man stood alone, with the long snow-white hair that is the signature of the Bai family's royal family hanging down, but his light-colored eyes gleamed strangely.
He was not surprised to see someone coming, but looked at Bai Shuyu calmly.
Uncles and nephews faced each other, the others held their breaths and silently retreated to the side, as if there were only two old enemies left in the world.
Bai Shuyu spoke first.
"Uncle Emperor, you have lost."
Bai Qiming laughed loudly when he heard the words: "It's too early for you to say this at this moment! My army was defeated, but—" He stretched out his right hand, holding a knife in his hand, pointing the edge of the knife at the Zhengyi Palace behind him .
"The throne is right behind me! Bai Shuyu, if you want to get the throne, step over my corpse!"
Bai Shuyu looked at him fixedly.Finally, with a sigh.
"Bai Qiming, I called you Uncle Emperor earlier to save face for you. But I don't know whether you are paranoid or stupid?" He shook his head, "What can you do if you stand in front of the throne? Bai Qiming, you The general situation is gone, even if you hold on to the throne and never let go, what you are protecting is just a meaningless object."
"Haha!" Bai Qiming laughed recklessly, "So what? If you don't kill me, you don't even think about stepping into this palace of righteousness and sitting on this throne!"
Xiao Yuntian, who was watching on the sidelines, felt that Bai Qiming's behavior and words were quite wrong.Bai Shuyu tried to explain the truth to him, but Bai Qiming didn't know whether it was really crazy or fake, and he acted like he was messing around and admitting death.He had some doubts, whether this "emperor" was stimulated by the defeat of the army, or whether he was crazy about the throne.
Bai Shuyu also found himself unable to communicate with this rebellious uncle.He sighed silently, raised his right hand, and a sharp long sword fell into his hand.
When Bai Qiming saw the sword he had summoned, his pupils shrank, and his eyes were firmly fixed on it, showing a greedy and jealous look.
"This is the ancestral sword of the Bai family royal family, 'Feng Wing'." Bai Shuyu held the sword freely and said to the enemy, "There is a teaching in the Bai family's ancestors: 'Feng Wing returns to soar, and the ambition is in all directions'. Take this With the sword, he also took over the burden from the ancestors, defending the family and the country, and protecting the peace of the people of one side."
The fire in Bai Qiming's eyes suddenly dissipated in an instant.His face was ashen, and his whole body showed a state of dead silence.
Bai Shuyu summoned his true energy, and the phoenix wing was inspired by the extremely cold air it was familiar with, and it flew into the air aggressively.The exhilarating sword drew a large number of sword marks in the air, as vigorous as its owner.
In an instant, the two had each picked up their weapons and fought together.
The swords meet, and the flames splash.Both of them are the best in the royal family of the Bai Kingdom, each of them is extremely fast, Xiao Yuntian can't even keep up with the speed of their fight with the naked eye.Although he had confidence in Bai Shuyu's strength, a sword had no eyes, and every sound of the collision of weapons faintly hurt his nerves, making him clenched his fists unconsciously, and his palms were drenched with sweat.
Your majesty, you must win...
The cold wind was blowing the boy's short hair, and his eyes were tightly locked on the two fiercely fighting white figures in front of him.The two powerful qi collided in the air and swirled fiercely, the blade in his hand flew up and down, dancing into a silvery white light and shadow.The icy palm energy carried countless dense sword moves to attack the enemy's vital points, and the two of them fought fiercely.
After a few moments of fighting, the outcome was decided.Relying on a calm mind and a huge reserve of extremely cold energy, Bai Shuyu pressed hard at every step, attacking Bai Qiming, but the opponent had to switch from attack to defense, and his figure gradually became chaotic.
"Drink uh—!"
Bloody.Bai Qiming covered his injured right arm and retreated repeatedly. Taking advantage of his opening, Bai Shuyu took advantage of the victory to pursue.
Sword shadow.The meridians were accurately severed by the sharp blade, and the man fell to the ground with a puff, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
Bai Shuyu's sword fell to the top of the man's neck.
"You are defeated."
The man spat out the blood from his mouth, and grinned, revealing a pale and terrifying smile.
"I lost, but Bai Shuyu, you won't win either!"
He suddenly tore off half of his clothes, revealing the strange spell on the skin on his chest.
"This is……"
Xiao Yuntian, who was on the sidelines, was very puzzled by this, but Nightingale left suddenly.
"It's the devil's technique!" He rushed towards Bai Shuyu quickly, and said hoarsely, "Your Majesty, go!"
"No one wants to leave!"
Bai Qiming yelled frantically, and the runes on his skin wriggled, twisting out strange patterns.
He suddenly picked up the blade on the ground and stabbed it hard into his heart.
"No, he's going to be demonized!"
The other shadow guards standing aside immediately came up, set up Xiao Yuntian and ran back.
"Hey, what's going on! The emperor is still behind!"
The shadow guard who was dragging him responded: "Young Master Xiao, Bai Qiming has a spell set by a demon on his body. He has already raised his knife to kill himself, but his corpse will be completely demonized and turned into a demon corpse!"
Xiao Yuntian was stunned, "The devil corpse? Could he die and come back to life again?"
The shadow guard nodded and said: "Exactly! This is the forbidden technique of the Demon Kingdom. The demon corpse is refined by the blessing of the technique. Its body is extremely hostile, and it will continue to eat living things to enhance the demonic energy in its body..."
In the process of being dragged forward by the shadow guards to escape, Xiao Yuntian looked back and saw that Bai Qiming, who had been pierced through the heart by himself, stood up unsteadily, and a large lump formed on his forehead. The thick jet-black gas, and the whole face showed a bleak gray color, and they limped towards Bai Shuyu and Nightingale in front of them.
With a loud bang, the seven or eight shadow guards surrounding him were all blown away, and the large group of demonic energy visible to the naked eye continuously condensed and rose in the air, and spread out centered on him. Everywhere there is a harsh chill.
Seeing that Bai Qiming's demonized appearance was similar to that of a zombie in a horror movie, Xiao Yuntian felt a chill, and he asked the shadow guard dripping with sweat: "Since it is a demon corpse, do you know how to deal with it?"
The shadow guard was silent for a while, and said: "Because the demon corpse is already dead, it cannot be 'killed' again."
Xiao Yuntian's eyes widened: "That is to say, this thing can't kill you?" Then how to deal with it, could it be that he was consumed to death by this thing?
The Shadow Guard shook his head in embarrassment.On the other side, his companion said: "It is said that you only need to untie the magic seal on the corpse, but...we don't know the specific way to untie it yet."
However, this is not the end.There were bursts of howling suddenly from behind them, one after another.According to the prestige, there are many various "strange beasts" running out from the inside of the palace—they are very strange in appearance, with a black body, scarlet eyes, and extremely hostile aura.
Xiao Yuntian couldn't help wondering: "What are those things?"
"They are ferocious beasts. They are a unique breed of beasts within the territory of the Demon Kingdom. They are infected by the demon energy and become alienated."
Seeing that he had been taken out of the front hall of the palace, Xiao Yuntian stopped.
"No, the emperor is still behind! You can't let him face that demon corpse alone. Besides, there are so many ferocious beasts around here..."
The shadow guard was taken aback for a moment, and said anxiously: "Young Master Xiao..."
Xiao Yuntian took a few deep breaths and calmed down.He said to a shadow guard: "Please go and ask Mr. Bai Ya to come over. He has a lot of experience and knowledge, and he must have a way to break the spell of the devil."
The shadow guard hesitated and said: "Young Master Xiao, then you..."
Xiao Yuntian closed his eyes, secretly mobilized his spiritual power, and activated the power of the beast seal.
"Ice and Snow Dragon!"
The summoning consumed a huge amount of spiritual power, and Xiao Yuntian suddenly felt that his internal organs were being squeezed inexplicably.After the deep roar of the dragon, the huge body of the ice and snow dragon appeared above the palace.
"Brother Shenlong, please help me deal with those beasts!"
In the front hall of the palace, two figures, one black and one white, could be vaguely seen, fighting fiercely with the demonized Bai Qiming.The surrounding ferocious beasts appeared one after another from the depths of the palace, rushing towards them like a tide, and surrounded the three people in the battle.
"Brother Shenlong, hurry up!"
The huge head of Shenlong turned to the beast on the ground.It narrowed its long and narrow eyes, opened its mouth, and a giant ice ball appeared in its mouth.
"Whoohoo-"
The wind is raging, and the blizzard is flying.In an instant, the roaring ferocious beasts were all frozen by the icy cold air, and they were frozen in place like ice sculptures.
Xiao Yuntian breathed a sigh of relief.Just now, he raised his spiritual power to the highest level in an instant and saved Bai Shuyu and Nightingale from the siege, and now the backlash effect quickly swept over.With a dull pain in his head, he was unable to control the Ice and Snow Dragon anymore, so he had to let it evacuate first.There was a pain in his stomach and abdomen, and he felt as if his body had been hollowed out.
During this period of time, the Shadow Guard has also quickly called in reinforcements.Bai Ya rushed over in a hurry, his eyes passed Xiao Yuntian's shoulders and landed on the ground of the front hall of the imperial palace.
"Hey, it's actually a demon corpse!"
While running forward, he hastily untied the cloth bag on his body, and took out a roll of dragon blood silk thread from it.
With the uncle present, Xiao Yuntian's heart suddenly dropped by half.He followed Bai Ya into the front hall of the palace, and saw Bai Shuyu's flying kick hit Bai Qiming's heart, kicking him to the ground.Nightingale seized the opportunity to pinch up, raised the knife in her hand, and slashed several times on Bai Qiming's body with the sharp blade.
The body was cut, but no blood flowed out.Bai Qiming stood unsteadily on the spot, tilted his head, and grinned outwards with his distorted mouth, revealing a weird smile.
Any physical attack really couldn't hurt him.Xiao Yuntian took a general look at the situation, and found that he could only pin his hopes on Uncle Bai Ya, asking him to seal this demon corpse as soon as possible.
Just as he was thinking, he saw that Bai Qiming tilted his head, turned his head suddenly, and looked at Xiao Yuntian with empty eyes.
"Chuck, cluck..."
There was a dull hoarse sound in his throat.In the next second, he flew towards Xiao Yuntian.
Hey, why are you staring at me?
Seeing that the situation was not right, Xiao Yuntian, who had no fighting power, had no choice but to turn around and run away.Hearing the pattering footsteps getting closer, Xiao Yuntian took the risk to look back, and found that the guy was actually behind him, limping after him, running quite fast.
There was a whistling wind in his ears, Bai Shuyu teleported behind Xiao Yuntian, and slashed at Bai Qiming.The knife flashed, and Bai Qiming's head was detached from his neck and fell to the ground with a bang.
Xiao Yuntian stopped running and looked back carefully.
The head fell off, so it should be fine for now, right?
However, Bai Qiming's body was still standing upright.After his head stayed on the ground for a while, it suddenly moved.Then, it "flyed" back to the broken neck...
"My God, this is even better than Sun Monkey!"
Xiao Yuntian broke out in a cold sweat seeing the strange operation of the demon corpse.
"Hey, the little hairball is not afraid, the old man has his own way!"
Bai Ya suddenly rushed out from an unknown corner, raised his hand, and a circle of dragon's blood gold threads precisely wrapped around Bai Qiming's body.
"Your Majesty, Chief Guard, quickly help the old man trap it!"
Bai Shuyu and Nightingale acted immediately, blocking Bai Qiming's way one after the other.The emperor resolutely activated the extremely cold air, and the powerful cold air overflowed in all directions. The demon corpse with its strong demonic energy couldn't resist the intense cold, and its actions were obviously slowed down.
Surrounded by two people, the demon corpse could only circle back and forth in the middle of the open space, but he would turn his head back from time to time and howl at Xiao Yuntian for a while.The person yelled at by the demon corpse was extremely puzzled: this Bai Qiming supposedly regarded Bai Shuyu as his old enemy, why did he care so much about him today?
On the other side, Bai Ya has already quickly cast his best sealing technique.There was a faint glow on the blank stone brick floor, and the light-colored light reflected a special circular pattern, and Bai Qiming happened to be standing in the center of this pattern.
The spell began to take effect, and the head-turned demon corpse suddenly jumped up on tiptoe as if it had been scalded by something.It stood there foolishly, jumping around, and its behavior looked very strange.
"You Bai Qiming, if you die, you will turn around and harm the emperor. This old man will clean you up completely today!"
The sealing technique was fully activated, and the magic seal on Bai Qiming's body reacted violently. Bai Qiming, who had lost his self-awareness, roared uncontrollably, stumbled in the formation, but couldn't get out.
A quarter of an hour later, Bai Qiming stood firmly in the magic circle like a wax figure, all the magic energy on his body was sucked dry, like a balloon that has been emptied of air.
"Solve it?"
Xiao Yuntian boldly took a few steps forward.At the moment when he moved, Bai Qiming, who had died down, suddenly trembled, and jumped towards Xiao Yuntian.
"Hey—what are you doing!"
It was too late to escape.The weird demon corpse moved forward in an instant, jumped out of the seal circle, broke the dragon's blood gold thread in Bai Ya's hand, and rushed towards Xiao Yuntian with the last of its strength, with the whole posture of wanting to die together .
"My God—look at me sweeping my legs!"
Xiao Yuntian squatted down suddenly, stretched out a long leg, and threw Bai Qiming, who was staggering over, into the mud.
"Good job!" Bai Ya took the opportunity to catch up with Bai Qiming, gave him a few big slaps, and tied him tightly with dragon's blood thread.
The last devilish energy was also sucked away, and Bai Qiming fell limply on the ground like a broken sack, swallowing his breath completely.
Things seem to be over.Xiao Yuntian stood up from the ground, only then realized that his legs were soft like noodles, and he couldn't move them no matter what.
"Haha, little Maotuan, that attack just now was really wonderful, the old man almost thought you couldn't hide!"
Xiao Yuntian scratched his hair with a smile: "Uncle has won the award."
However, in fact, he didn't avoid Bai Qiming's blow by suddenly enlightening himself and learning the peerless movement skills, but because his legs were weak and he stumbled on the ground, so he staggered and fell to the ground, just dodging Bai Qiming pounced; and because of the special posture in which he fell to the ground, his outstretched long legs happened to block Bai Qiming's path, tripping the demon corpse.
However, in the eyes of others, his series of movements are connected, as if he has performed a unique trick of "sweeping the legs", which is hearty.
However, Uncle Bai Ya couldn't see his series of small movements clearly because of the position problem. He thought his little hairball was "promising", and gave him a gratified look.Seeing the uncle's approving gaze, Xiao Yuntian thought about it, but decided not to tell him the truth.In the final analysis, this is also a blessing in misfortune, Xiao Yuntian is glad that he escaped a catastrophe.It was really thrilling before, and it gave him the illusion that he had traveled into the ancient version of Resident Evil for a moment.
The emperor's subordinates came forward and dragged Bai Qiming's body out.Just in case, the body marked by the magic energy will be permanently sealed underground, never to see the light of day.
Bai Shuyu stood in the open space in front of Zhengyi Palace.Just now, his greatest enemy in the first half of his life was defeated here, and turned into a half-human, half-ghost evil, and was finally wiped out by joint efforts.The road of revenge and seizing the throne ended here, and he felt empty, and slowly let out a long breath.
It's finally over.
Finally... back.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him.He turned his face and saw Xiao Yuntian striding towards him.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" The fight just now was so intense that even Xiao Yuntian, who was a bystander, had to sweat a lot, and almost became the target of the big boss.
He stretched out his hand and wiped off the fine beads of sweat on Bai Shuyu's forehead.
Bai Shuyu looked into his eyes.At this moment Xiao Yuntian looks so pleasing to the eye, not only because of his handsome appearance, but also because Bai Shuyu himself feels an inexplicable sense of warmth after seeing his smile.
Warm like fluff.
Is it an illusion?
Seeing the beauty staring blankly at him, Xiao Yuntian stretched out his arms and gently hugged him into his arms.
"The Emperor..." He whispered in his ear, "Welcome home."
Bai Shuyu buried herself deeply in the opponent's arms.Xiao Yuntian was slightly taller than him, and Bai Shuyu lowered his body slightly, and put his face on the opponent's chest.
"Xiao Yuntian."
"Ok?"
"Thank you. I—" the emperor thought for a while, but he couldn't say anything, and his throat was choked up for a while.In the end, he quietly swallowed the other words, and only lazily uttered: "I'm tired."
The emperor's tone was lazy and slightly coquettish.Strange, why does it sound a bit like being coquettish?Bai Shuyu was taken aback by herself.
But... whatever.
Xiao Yuntian smiled, patted his back, and ran his fingertips through the soft snow-white long hair.He said softly: "The battle in Xuecheng should be coming to an end. It's time for the emperor to take a good rest. Let's go, shall we?"
Bai Shuyu stood still.After a while, he slowly raised his face from the opponent's arms.
"Okay."
He turned and walked forward.He felt that many people around him were staring at him with different eyes, but he didn't care.
The emperor took Xiao Yuntian's hand and walked out of the palace with him.
Seeing that the city gate could no longer be closed according to the order, the guard on the wall immediately ordered to block the pace of the attacking army with bows and arrows.
"Swipe!"
Arrows rained down.
Seeing the bows and arrows raining down on the ground, Xiao Yun consciously wanted to pull Bai Shuyu to avoid them, but the rain of arrows was nothing to the emperor.Bai Shuyu stayed in place calmly, and an invisible defensive air shield stretched out around his body, blocking all the sharp arrows shot at them.

He was not surprised to see someone coming, but looked at Bai Shuyu calmly.
Uncles and nephews faced each other, the others held their breaths and silently retreated to the side, as if there were only two old enemies left in the world.
Bai Shuyu spoke first.
"Uncle Emperor, you have lost."
Bai Qiming laughed loudly when he heard the words: "It's too early for you to say this at this moment! My army was defeated, but—" He stretched out his right hand, holding a knife in his hand, pointing the edge of the knife at the Zhengyi Palace behind him .
"The throne is right behind me! Bai Shuyu, if you want to get the throne, step over my corpse!"
Bai Shuyu looked at him fixedly.Finally, with a sigh.
"Bai Qiming, I called you Uncle Emperor earlier to save face for you. But I don't know whether you are paranoid or stupid?" He shook his head, "What can you do if you stand in front of the throne?

The fire in Bai Qiming's eyes suddenly dissipated in an instant.His face was ashen, and his whole body showed a state of dead silence.
Bai Shuyu summoned his true energy, and the phoenix wing was inspired by the extremely cold air it was familiar with, and it flew into the air aggressively.The exhilarating sword drew a large number of sword marks in the air, as vigorous as its owner.
In an instant, the two had each picked up their weapons and fought together.
The swords meet, and the flames splash.Both of them are the best in the royal family of the Bai Kingdom, each of them is extremely fast, Xiao Yuntian can't even keep up with the speed of their fight with the naked eye.Although he had confidence in Bai Shuyu's strength, a sword had no eyes, and every sound of the collision of weapons faintly hurt his nerves, making him clenched his fists unconsciously, and his palms were drenched with sweat.
Your majesty, you must win...
The cold wind was blowing the boy's short hair, and his eyes were tightly locked on the two fiercely fighting white figures in front of him.The two powerful qi collided in the air and swirled fiercely, the blade in his hand flew up and down, dancing into a silvery white light and shadow.The icy palm energy carried countless dense sword moves to attack the enemy's vital points, and the two of them fought fiercely.
After a few moments of fighting, the outcome was decided.Relying on a calm mind and a huge reserve of extremely cold energy, Bai Shuyu pressed hard at every step, attacking Bai Qiming, but the opponent had to switch from attack to defense, and his figure gradually became chaotic.
"Drink uh—!"
Bloody.Bai Qiming covered his injured right arm and retreated repeatedly. Taking advantage of his opening, Bai Shuyu took advantage of the victory to pursue.
Sword shadow.The meridians were accurately severed by the sharp blade, and the man fell to the ground with a puff, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
Bai Shuyu's sword fell to the top of the man's neck.
"You are defeated."
The man spat out the blood from his mouth, and grinned, revealing a pale and terrifying smile.
"I lost, but Bai Shuyu, you won't win either!"
He suddenly tore off half of his clothes, revealing the strange spell on the skin on his chest.
"This is……"
Xiao Yuntian, who was on the sidelines, was very puzzled by this, but Nightingale left suddenly.
"It's the devil's technique!" He rushed towards Bai Shuyu quickly, and said hoarsely, "Your Majesty, go!"
"No one wants to leave!"
Bai Qiming yelled frantically, and the runes on his skin wriggled, twisting out strange patterns.
He suddenly picked up the blade on the ground and stabbed it hard into his heart.
"No, he's going to be demonized!"
The other shadow guards standing aside immediately came up, set up Xiao Yuntian and ran back.
"Hey, what's going on! The emperor is still behind!"
The shadow guard who was dragging him responded: "Young Master Xiao, Bai Qiming has a spell set by a demon on his body. He has already raised his knife to kill himself, but his corpse will be completely demonized and turned into a demon corpse!"
Xiao Yuntian was stunned, "The devil corpse? Could he die and come back to life again?"
The shadow guard nodded and said: "Exactly! This is the forbidden technique of the Demon Kingdom. The demon corpse is refined by the blessing of the technique. Its body is extremely hostile, and it will continue to eat living things to enhance the demonic energy in its body..."
In the process of being dragged forward by the shadow guards to escape, Xiao Yuntian looked back and saw that Bai Qiming, who had been pierced through the heart by himself, stood up unsteadily, and a large lump formed on his forehead. The thick jet-black gas, and the whole face showed a bleak gray color, and they limped towards Bai Shuyu and Nightingale in front of them.
With a loud bang, the seven or eight shadow guards surrounding him were all blown away, and the large group of demonic energy visible to the naked eye continuously condensed and rose in the air, and spread out centered on him. Everywhere there is a harsh chill.
Seeing that Bai Qiming's demonized appearance was similar to that of a zombie in a horror movie, Xiao Yuntian felt a chill, and he asked the shadow guard dripping with sweat: "Since it is a demon corpse, do you know how to deal with it?"
The shadow guard was silent for a while, and said: "Because the demon corpse is already dead, it cannot be 'killed' again."
Xiao Yuntian's eyes widened: "That is to say, this thing can't kill you?" Then how to deal with it, could it be that he was consumed to death by this thing?
The Shadow Guard shook his head in embarrassment.On the other side, his companion said: "It is said that you only need to untie the magic seal on the corpse, but...we don't know the specific way to untie it yet."
However, this is not the end.There were bursts of howling suddenly from behind them, one after another.According to the prestige, there are many various "strange beasts" running out from the inside of the palace—they are very strange in appearance, with a black body, scarlet eyes, and extremely hostile aura.
Xiao Yuntian couldn't help wondering: "What are those things?"
"They are ferocious beasts. They are a unique breed of beasts within the territory of the Demon Kingdom. They are infected by the demon energy and become alienated."
Seeing that he had been taken out of the front hall of the palace, Xiao Yuntian stopped.
"No, the emperor is still behind! You can't let him face that demon corpse alone. Besides, there are so many ferocious beasts around here..."
The shadow guard was taken aback for a moment, and said anxiously: "Young Master Xiao..."
Xiao Yuntian took a few deep breaths and calmed down.He said to a shadow guard: "Please go and ask Mr. Bai Ya to come over. He has a lot of experience and knowledge, and he must have a way to break the spell of the devil."
The shadow guard hesitated and said: "Young Master Xiao, then you..."
Xiao Yuntian closed his eyes, secretly mobilized his spiritual power, and activated the power of the beast seal.
"Ice and Snow Dragon!"
The summoning consumed a huge amount of spiritual power, and Xiao Yuntian suddenly felt that his internal organs were being squeezed inexplicably.After the deep roar of the dragon, the huge body of the ice and snow dragon appeared above the palace.
"Brother Shenlong, please help me deal with those beasts!"
In the front hall of the palace, two figures, one black and one white, could be vaguely seen, fighting fiercely with the demonized Bai Qiming.The surrounding ferocious beasts appeared one after another from the depths of the palace, rushing towards them like a tide, and surrounded the three people in the battle.
"Brother Shenlong, hurry up!"
The huge head of Shenlong turned to the beast on the ground.It narrowed its long and narrow eyes, opened its mouth, and a giant ice ball appeared in its mouth.
"Whoohoo-"
The wind is raging, and the blizzard is flying.In an instant, the roaring ferocious beasts were all frozen by the icy cold air, and they were frozen in place like ice sculptures.
Xiao Yuntian breathed a sigh of relief.Just now, he raised his spiritual power to the highest level in an instant and saved Bai Shuyu and Nightingale from the siege, and now the backlash effect quickly swept over.With a dull pain in his head, he was unable to control the Ice and Snow Dragon anymore, so he had to let it evacuate first.There was a pain in his stomach and abdomen, and he felt as if his body had been hollowed out.
During this period of time, the Shadow Guard has also quickly called in reinforcements.Bai Ya rushed over in a hurry, his eyes passed Xiao Yuntian's shoulders and landed on the ground of the front hall of the imperial palace.
"Hey, it's actually a demon corpse!"
While running forward, he hastily untied the cloth bag on his body, and took out a roll of dragon blood silk thread from it.
With the uncle present, Xiao Yuntian's heart suddenly dropped by half.He followed Bai Ya into the front hall of the palace, and saw Bai Shuyu's flying kick hit Bai Qiming's heart, kicking him to the ground.Nightingale seized the opportunity to pinch up, raised the knife in her hand, and slashed several times on Bai Qiming's body with the sharp blade.
The body was cut, but no blood flowed out.Bai Qiming stood unsteadily on the spot, tilted his head, and grinned outwards with his distorted mouth, revealing a weird smile.
Any physical attack really couldn't hurt him.Xiao Yuntian took a general look at the situation, and found that he could only pin his hopes on Uncle Bai Ya, asking him to seal this demon corpse as soon as possible.
Just as he was thinking, he saw that Bai Qiming tilted his head, turned his head suddenly, and looked at Xiao Yuntian with empty eyes.
"Chuck, cluck..."
There was a dull hoarse sound in his throat.In the next second, he flew towards Xiao Yuntian.
Hey, why are you staring at me?
Seeing that the situation was not right, Xiao Yuntian, who had no fighting power, had no choice but to turn around and run away.Hearing the pattering footsteps getting closer, Xiao Yuntian took the risk to look back, and found that the guy was actually behind him, limping after him, running quite fast.
There was a whistling wind in his ears, Bai Shuyu teleported behind Xiao Yuntian, and slashed at Bai Qiming.The knife flashed, and Bai Qiming's head was detached from his neck and fell to the ground with a bang.
Xiao Yuntian stopped running and looked back carefully.
The head fell off, so it should be fine for now, right?
However, Bai Qiming's body was still standing upright.After his head stayed on the ground for a while, it suddenly moved.Then, it "flyed" back to the broken neck...
"My God, this is even better than Sun Monkey!"
Xiao Yuntian broke out in a cold sweat seeing the strange operation of the demon corpse.
"Hey, the little hairball is not afraid, the old man has his own way!"
Bai Ya suddenly rushed out from an unknown corner, raised his hand, and a circle of dragon's blood gold threads precisely wrapped around Bai Qiming's body.
"Your Majesty, Chief Guard, quickly help the old man trap it!"
Bai Shuyu and Nightingale acted immediately, blocking Bai Qiming's way one after the other.The emperor resolutely activated the extremely cold air, and the powerful cold air overflowed in all directions. The demon corpse with its strong demonic energy couldn't resist the intense cold, and its actions were obviously slowed down.
Surrounded by two people, the demon corpse could only circle back and forth in the middle of the open space, but he would turn his head back from time to time and howl at Xiao Yuntian for a while.The person yelled at by the demon corpse was extremely puzzled: this Bai Qiming supposedly regarded Bai Shuyu as his old enemy, why did he care so much about him today?
On the other side, Bai Ya has already quickly cast his best sealing technique.There was a faint glow on the blank stone brick floor, and the light-colored light reflected a special circular pattern, and Bai Qiming happened to be standing in the center of this pattern.
The spell began to take effect, and the head-turned demon corpse suddenly jumped up on tiptoe as if it had been scalded by something.It stood there foolishly, jumping around, and its behavior looked very strange.
"You Bai Qiming, if you die, you will turn around and harm the emperor. This old man will clean you up completely today!"
The sealing technique was fully activated, and the magic seal on Bai Qiming's body reacted violently. Bai Qiming, who had lost his self-awareness, roared uncontrollably, stumbled in the formation, but couldn't get out.
A quarter of an hour later, Bai Qiming stood firmly in the magic circle like a wax figure, all the magic energy on his body was sucked dry, like a balloon that has been emptied of air.
"Solve it?"
Xiao Yuntian boldly took a few steps forward.At the moment when he moved, Bai Qiming, who had died down, suddenly trembled, and jumped towards Xiao Yuntian.
"Hey—what are you doing!"
It was too late to escape.The weird demon corpse moved forward in an instant, jumped out of the seal circle, broke the dragon's blood gold thread in Bai Ya's hand, and rushed towards Xiao Yuntian with the last of its strength, with the whole posture of wanting to die together .
"My God—look at me sweeping my legs!"
Xiao Yuntian squatted down suddenly, stretched out a long leg, and threw Bai Qiming, who was staggering over, into the mud.
"Good job!" Bai Ya took the opportunity to catch up with Bai Qiming, gave him a few big slaps, and tied him tightly with dragon's blood thread.
The last devilish energy was also sucked away, and Bai Qiming fell limply on the ground like a broken sack, swallowing his breath completely.
Things seem to be over.Xiao Yuntian stood up from the ground, only then realized that his legs were soft like noodles, and he couldn't move them no matter what.
"Haha, little Maotuan, that attack just now was really wonderful, the old man almost thought you couldn't hide!"
Xiao Yuntian scratched his hair with a smile: "Uncle has won the award."
However, in fact, he didn't avoid Bai Qiming's blow by suddenly enlightening himself and learning the peerless movement skills, but because his legs were weak and he stumbled on the ground, so he staggered and fell to the ground, just dodging Bai Qiming pounced; and because of the special posture in which he fell to the ground, his outstretched long legs happened to block Bai Qiming's path, tripping the demon corpse.
However, in the eyes of others, his series of movements are connected, as if he has performed a unique trick of "sweeping the legs", which is hearty.
However, Uncle Bai Ya couldn't see his series of small movements clearly because of the position problem. He thought his little hairball was "promising", and gave him a gratified look.Seeing the uncle's approving gaze, Xiao Yuntian thought about it, but decided not to tell him the truth.In the final analysis, this is also a blessing in misfortune, Xiao Yuntian is glad that he escaped a catastrophe.It was really thrilling before, and it gave him the illusion that he had traveled into the ancient version of Resident Evil for a moment.
The emperor's subordinates came forward and dragged Bai Qiming's body out.Just in case, the body marked by the magic energy will be permanently sealed underground, never to see the light of day.
Bai Shuyu stood in the open space in front of Zhengyi Palace.Just now, his greatest enemy in the first half of his life was defeated here, and turned into a half-human, half-ghost evil, and was finally wiped out by joint efforts.The road of revenge and seizing the throne ended here, and he felt empty, and slowly let out a long breath.
It's finally over.
Finally... back.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him.He turned his face and saw Xiao Yuntian striding towards him.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" The fight just now was so intense that even Xiao Yuntian, who was a bystander, had to sweat a lot, and almost became the target of the big boss.
He stretched out his hand and wiped off the fine beads of sweat on Bai Shuyu's forehead.
Bai Shuyu looked into his eyes.At this moment Xiao Yuntian looks so pleasing to the eye, not only because of his handsome appearance, but also because Bai Shuyu himself feels an inexplicable sense of warmth after seeing his smile.
Warm like fluff.
Is it an illusion?
Seeing the beauty staring blankly at him, Xiao Yuntian stretched out his arms and gently hugged him into his arms.
"The Emperor..." He whispered in his ear, "Welcome home."
Bai Shuyu buried herself deeply in the opponent's arms.Xiao Yuntian was slightly taller than him, and Bai Shuyu lowered his body slightly, and put his face on the opponent's chest.
"Xiao Yuntian."
"Ok?"
"Thank you. I—" the emperor thought for a while, but he couldn't say anything, and his throat was choked up for a while.In the end, he quietly swallowed the other words, and only lazily uttered: "I'm tired."
The emperor's tone was lazy and slightly coquettish.Strange, why does it sound a bit like being coquettish?Bai Shuyu was taken aback by herself.
But... whatever.
Xiao Yuntian smiled, patted his back, and ran his fingertips through the soft snow-white long hair.He said softly: "The battle in Xuecheng should be coming to an end. It's time for the emperor to take a good rest. Let's go, shall we?"
Bai Shuyu stood still.After a while, he slowly raised his face from the opponent's arms.
"Okay."
He turned and walked forward.He felt that many people around him were staring at him with different eyes, but he didn't care.
The emperor took Xiao Yuntian's hand and walked out of the palace with him.
