The hundreds of talismans and the piles of boulders,
Couldn't stop him!
Feng Xin and Mu Qing's reactions were extremely fast.
Feng Xin shot out a string of arrows. Mu Qing's blade slashed through the air and sent out an attack. Then, he grabbed Xie Lian and ran. Feng Xin used the same old trick, madly striking the falling boulders as he said, "F * ck! How did he find this place so quickly? "
Mu Qing said, "How would I know?! … … Red line! Red line! His hand is still connected to that red line!! "
The two of them seemed to wake up from a dream.
They simultaneously went to grab Xie Lian's hand. How could Xie Lian let them succeed?
His other hand grabbed the one with the red line.
"I can't untie it!"
Feng Xin said, "Your Highness, if you tie this red line, he will find you.
If you don't want him to catch up, you have to untie it! "
Xie Lian held his own hand.
"Even if he catches up, there's no need to be afraid. I … … want to go ask him. "
Mu Qing's eyes widened. "You still want to ask him? I think you'll only know how powerful he is if you get eaten alive by him. "
Xie Lian said, "Isn't he already very powerful? You guys won't tell me what the mural is about, and you want me to not go near him.
You can't convince me at all. "
Mu Qing said, "He's the Ghost King.
His behavior is strange. He doesn't need anyone to convince him. Most people just need to see these two to know they shouldn't go near him, right? "
Xie Lian stretched out two fingers.
"Two choices. Either let me go back and ask him clearly, or let me go back and look at the mural."
Feng Xin and Mu Qing seemed to think of something terrifying.
One's mouth twisted while the other's eyebrows jumped.
They blocked in front of him.
In unison, they said, "Both won't do!"
Thus, Xie Lian rolled up his sleeves and said, "I can't say it.
Then let's use fighting to solve this! Who wants to go first, or both of you? "
Mu Qing said to Feng Xin, "You first!" After saying that, he retreated to the side. Feng Xin didn't seem to have much confidence in winning against Xie Lian, but in order to save the retarded youth, he threw caution to the wind. His hand tightened on his bow and said, "Okay! Your Highness, please of me! "
Xie Lian also said, "Alright … …" Who would have thought that before the opening pleasantries could be finished, he felt his back heat up. Behind him, someone shouted, "Freeze! Don't speak!" His entire body stiffened like an iron board.
Not only that, he couldn't even make a sound!
Mu Qing flashed out from behind him and said to Feng Xin, "Pull him away. This talisman can stop him for a while, but not for long. "
Feng Xin was slightly stunned. "Why did you sneak attack him? Didn't we agree to fight one on one? "
Xie Lian didn't expect that Mu Qing would immediately go back on his words. If it weren't for the fact that he trusted these two former subordinates of his, he wouldn't have fallen for it so easily. Mu Qing said, "There's no time for you to fight one on one right now. He's doing this on purpose. It's obvious that he's trying to stall for time for Hua Cheng to catch up. Didn't you see what he looked like? He's clearly possessed. No matter what you say to him now, he won't know what's good for him. Maybe when Hua Cheng coaxes him a few words when they meet, he'll believe it. It's like he's been bewitched by a vixen. "
Feng Xin thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. He sighed and said, "Your Highness, it's not that we intentionally hid it from you. It's just that his feelings towards you … are really unbearable to look at. We can't say it out loud! You should come with us. "
Mu Qing also said, "Let's go."
This sentence from Mu Qing wasn't a suggestion or a request. It was an order. When he slapped Xie Lian's back just now, he must have stained his palm with the Obedience Talisman drawn with his blood. The Obedience Talisman could make the target follow the instructions of the caster. However, in reality, it could only carry out a few simple instructions, such as: don't speak, follow, stop, run, etc. More complex instructions were difficult to carry out and couldn't confuse the target's mind. Only a great demon like the Embroidered Gown Immortal could do that.
The two of them brought Xie Lian along for a while. Suddenly, their path was blocked by a pile of rocks. Feng Xin saw that there was no way out and said, "Why is there a rock blocking our path? Can't we go? "
Mu Qing said, "Weren't you the one who hit this rock? Why are you asking me? "
Feng Xin questioned, "But aren't you the one leading the way? How are you leading the way? We've been to this place before, why did we come back? "
Mu Qing didn't accept his questioning, "What a joke, I don't even know the way here, how am I supposed to lead the way? Weren't we running all over the place just now? "
Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Feng Xin waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Let's dig!"
Hua Cheng was chasing behind them so they could only move forward and couldn't retreat. Otherwise, it was very likely that they would bump into each other. It was easy to block a path but hard to open a path. The two of them had Xie Lian obediently stand in a corner. Feng Xin punched wildly, 'peng peng'. Mu Qing, with the veins on his forehead bulging, used his impressive and impressive 'lang' to chop the large rocks into pieces. In two or three moves, they had dug a path through. Rocks rolled and dust flew everywhere. They were about to call Xie Lian over when, unexpectedly, after the dust settled, they saw a figure dressed in red standing in front of them. Xie Lian's eyes instantly lit up. It was Hua Cheng!
His eyes were cold and he stood with his hands behind his back. He didn't say a word. Feng Xin immediately blurted out, "Why are you haunting us like a ghost!"
This was a genuine ghost haunting them. Just now, he had clearly been left behind, how did he suddenly appear in front of them??? They didn't know when he had been guarding this place, but he had actually waited silently for them to dig through the obstacles and deliver himself to their doorstep. Wasn't he haunting them like a ghost, extremely strange?
Feng Xin and Mu Qing instantly retreated a distance. Hua Cheng didn't look at them. His gaze shifted to the side and he took a step towards Xie Lian. Feng Xin and Mu Qing realized who he was coming for and in a flash, they blocked Xie Lian's path and said in unison, "Don't come over!"
Hua Cheng's face was extremely gloomy.
If it was on a normal day, he wouldn't care about anyone who dared to tell the Blood Rain Tanhua not to go over. It would be strange if he didn't laugh and insist on going over to take a look. But this time, it was as if he was really afraid and didn't dare to act blindly without thinking. He stopped in his tracks.
After a while, he slowly said, "What do you two mean by this?"
His tone was still considered calm. However, Feng Xin very straightforwardly said, "You don't need to pretend anymore. This is your lair. We've already seen what's going on with these statues of Gods. Also, we've seen all of your paintings! "
Hua Cheng had turned his body sideways to block their path. When he heard this, the hands behind his back seemed to slightly twitch. It was as if two of his fingers had unnaturally curled up.
"… …"
He slightly lowered his head and softly said, "Your Highness, you also saw it?"
This voice was extremely low. Although the tone sounded calm, it carried a bit of hoarseness. It was obvious that something was wrong. Xie Lian inwardly said, "I didn't!"
In reality, he hadn't seen much. However, at this moment, Xie Lian couldn't move or make a sound. He could only obediently lean against the stone wall in the corner, as if he was hiding behind the two people. He didn't dare to come out and face Hua Cheng, nor did he want to talk to him. Feng Xin drew his bow and said, "Not bad. What kind of … … thoughts you have, we clearly understand. We respect you as a Ghost King. If you still have a bit of self-respect, then please don't go near His Highness the Crown Prince. "
At this moment, Xie Lian's mood was like a thatched hut on fire, thick smoke billowing. Hua Cheng should be able to discover that something was wrong with him. Xie Lian only hoped that Hua Cheng would speak up and ask him if he had discovered that something was wrong. However, Hua Cheng didn't seem to be in the mood to carefully examine this. He coldly said, "Don't go near him? The two of you, what status and qualifications do you have to say these words to me? "
Without waiting for them to reply, Hua Cheng suddenly raised his eyes and said, "You two have actually reminded me. Let's continue to settle our debts!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless silver butterflies flew towards the two people with sharp whistles!
When faced with this kind of storm-like attack, the only choice was to activate the magic shield. Feng Xin and Mu Qing shouted, "Open the shield!"
The rain of butterflies was blocked by the invisible magic shield. In the air, they scattered into sparkling silver lights before quickly condensing into new silver butterflies. They attacked once again, unexpectedly without any signs of stopping. While they blocked and retreated, Hua Cheng steadily approached them step by step. His black hair was blown about by the fierce wind in the execution field. His eyes were filled with rage and viciousness, which could be seen clearly under the illumination of the silver butterflies that were as bright as day. If they continued to block one-sidedly like this, they would be too passive. Feng Xin and Mu Qing glanced at each other and decided to take the initiative to attack. Holding their magic shields, they rushed forward and each took out their weapons. The three people began to fight in this cave that wasn't very wide. Feng Xin dealt with the Necromancy Butterfly, while Mu Qing faced Hua Cheng. Hua Cheng extended his hand. His left hand transformed into a scimitar, Misfortune, and faced the attack head-on!
This was the first time Xie Lian had seen Misfortune fight seriously. The scimitar was long and slender, cold and austere. The silver light was deadly — — it was indeed a bewitching blade that overflowed with evil energy!
This battle was truly marvelous. Hua Cheng wasn't at a disadvantage even when fighting one against two. Xie Lian watched with bated breath. Not long after, the tip of Misfortune's scimitar rose up, bringing Mu Qing's horse-slaying sword into the rock. Although Mu Qing's hand was still holding the hilt of the scimitar, he actually couldn't pull it out. He was startled, but Hua Cheng's fist had already landed on his lower jaw, sending his entire body flying into the sky. The hilt of his scimitar finally slipped out of his hand. On the other side, Feng Xin's arrows were also cut by the Necromancy Butterflies' sharp silver wings. In the end, there were too many of them and it was difficult to deal with!
Victory and defeat had already been decided. Countless white silk crept out from the corner and once again wrapped the two people into two large white cocoons. The more they struggled, the tighter and tighter they became. Mu Qing madly pulled at the silk as he said, "As expected, you were the one who threw us into that pit!"
Feng Xin said, "This isn't spider silk! This is … …! "
Xie Lian also had an epiphany. It was cocoon silk!
The step before breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly was to transform into a chrysalis. Those strange white silk that resembled spider silk was something that Hua Cheng had created. It might even be related to these extremely fierce Necromancy Butterflies!
The battle was already decided. Hua Cheng put away his scimitar and mocked, "I threw you guys in there to take refuge. In the end, if you guys hadn't roared loudly on the snowy mountain and caused an avalanche, you wouldn't have had the opportunity to enter this Cave of Myriad Gods. Aren't you going to thank me for saving your lives? "
Hua Cheng's original plan was to wait for the avalanche to pass and the snowy mountain to calm down before bringing Xie Lian out, leaving Feng Xin and Mu Qing behind. Who knew that the two of them would bite open the cocoon and quarrel, leading Xie Lian to discover them. This led to the series of events that followed. Otherwise, Xie Lian might really have followed him out without even looking at a single statue.
But now, it had become the worst situation. All his secrets had been torn out and exposed to the light of day.
Xie Lian was anxious, but his body still obediently sat where he was. The coldness in Hua Cheng's eyes grew heavier as he looked down at Mu Qing from above. He said softly, "It seems that the one with talent in using a saber is me, not you."
Mu Qing's throat was entangled by a few white silk threads. His face alternated between green and red as blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He managed to say, "You! … … You … …? So that's how it is, I understand … … "
Feng Xin also gritted his teeth and said, "… … You … … What do you understand!"
Mu Qing said, "I understand … … why this kid hates me so much … … You might have the same reason!"
Feng Xin said, "What … … cough, what reason?"
Mu Qing said hatefully, "Because he's crazy! Have you forgotten what was drawn on the mural? He's that … … little soldier that His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to guide after returning from the Back Slope. His Highness said that his saber skills are not bad, suitable for using a saber … … cough … … "
Feng Xin said, "What does this have to do with him hating you?!"
Mu Qing didn't say anything. With a "bang", Hua Cheng punched him in the face and said in his place with a sinister smile, "Because, he chased me out of the military camp."
He didn't expect Mu Qing to do such a thing!
Feng Xin was shocked, "… … What the f * ck! Why did you chase him out of the military camp?! Did he offend you?! "
Mu Qing's face was covered in blood as he said, "I only wanted him to go back. Going to war is not a good thing! How would I know that he would be this crazy, holding a grudge until now! … … "
Before he could finish, another ruthless punch came. With a "bang", his face was almost crooked. Hua Cheng smiled and said, "Do you think I can't guess why you chased me away? Hmm? "
Mu Qing's eyes flashed. Hua Cheng giggled and said, "Now that things have come to this, it's very clear who's the trash, isn't it?"
"… …"
Mu Qing spat out a mouthful of blood as if his foot had been stabbed. He said word by word, "Fortunately, I chased you away. Otherwise, if I let you stay in the military, let you slowly get close to the Crown Prince and stare at him all day, I don't know what kind of filthy things you're thinking about. That's too disgusting! "
Xie Lian's heart suddenly tightened. When Mu Qing said the first sentence, Hua Cheng had already raised his fist. When he said the last sentence, "disgusting", Hua Cheng's hand froze in midair. Blue veins appeared on the back of his pale white hand. His five fingers clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched again.
After a long time, he said in a cold voice, "I won't argue with you about this matter for now. Tell me honestly, was what you guys shouted before the avalanche was true? "
Mu Qing suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Feng Xin. Feng Xin also looked at them, his eyes wide open.
The two of them didn't know how to answer. Hua Cheng sternly said, "My patience is limited. I'll give you three times to answer. One! Two! "
He actually acted so swiftly and decisively. At this moment, Mu Qing had an idea and shouted, "Your Highness, quickly run!!!"
As soon as these words came out, Xie Lian, who had a blood seal on his back, responded and ran. Hua Cheng immediately turned his head. Two white threads shot out from the corner and wrapped around Xie Lian. He didn't even run two steps before he fell to the ground.
From the looks of it, it seemed that he had been scared stiff, unable to accept the situation, or unwilling to interfere in the battle. After standing there for a long time, he finally decided to run, but he didn't succeed. But in reality, he didn't even think of running!
Xie Lian's hands and feet were tightly bound by the white threads. He lay on the ground, his black hair and white sleeves scattered on the ground. His bamboo hat rolled to the side. Hua Cheng slowly turned around and paused for a long time before walking towards him. He hadn't taken a few steps when Feng Xin couldn't help but say, "Hua Cheng!"
Hua Cheng's footsteps paused and he slightly tilted his head.
Feng Xin braced himself and said, "You … you let His Highness go! He's already very miserable. You, don't do this to him … "
Hua Cheng didn't say anything. He walked to Xie Lian's side and picked him up by his knees and back.
