Chapter 345 “Fair” Competition [5500 words]
“Yingli…”
Staring blankly at Li Chu, he was a little confused about the situation.
Lead the way…in what way?
Looking at how you look like you’re going to take a knife to chop down the head of the state church, this murderous aura…is there something wrong with it?
Where is my sweet Yingli?
“Someone escaped!”
“Cang Sir Kong! How dare you release the first adult’s heavy prisoner without authorization!”
There was a sudden sound. drink.
There was a loud bang, and seven or eight female guards in armor rushed out.
“I’m not…I don’t…don’t talk nonsense!” Cang Kong quickly raised his hands to deny Sanlian.
The Huaxu Kingdom has strict laws, escape from prison and robbing prisoners are serious crimes. If you don’t give up resistance quickly, you will probably be killed on the spot.
But in her terrified eyes, Li Chu has already strode up to meet her.
“Stop your steps! Give up resistance!”
With the sound of choking blades and swords unsheathing, a bunch of bright weapons aimed at Li Chu, on which True Qi threw, blades, and blades. glow looms, obviously these guards have a good cultivation base.
Li Chu’s eyes swept across their weapons. I don’t know if it was an illusion. Those guards felt that his eyes were a little strange for a while, like… picking goods?
Just when they didn’t intend to “have tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex”, they were about to start moving when they suddenly raised their fingers.
pēng pēng pēng …
Cang Kong had an unbearable look on his face, begging Yin Li to stop his strange behavior quickly and not be killed by the guards.
I found out that he didn’t know whether it was a Divine Ability or a magic spell, but in a flash, all the guards went into a state of rigidity and were fixed in place.
“Huh?”
Cang Kong was dumbfounded.
Immediately, Li Chu stepped forward and took off a long sword with bright rays of light, put it in the sheath, and carried it behind his back.
Although this sword equipped by the guards of the Huaxu Kingdom is not comparable to the famous swords of later generations, it is more or less an excellent weapon, and it is barely usable.
“Why are you still standing still?” Li Chu looked back towards Cangkong.
The eyes are very obvious, and it’s still the same words.
Lead the way.
“Ah… ok.” Cang Kong didn’t dare to say refusal any more, he trotted out of the cave, then turned back and smiled, “Follow me.”
One Out of the cave, the sun is quite dazzling.
This prison was built on the very high point of the mountain. Looking down, you can vaguely see most of the features of an ancient city state.
The buildings composed of various white wood and stone, the round roofs, and the colorful flags fluttering all over the street are all 100% realistic.
If this is really a projection, it is quite a great magic power to manifest.
Cangkong took Li Chu and after descending this mountain, instead of entering the city, they went to another mountain far away.
A mountain that is obviously vast and deep.
“This is the forbidden mountain of state religion…it is extremely heavily guarded.” Coming to the edge of the mountain, Cangkong said in a low voice, “No matter what happens, don’t make trouble. Once it is discovered, we will Hurry up and obediently surrender, with the king’s reliance on me and the leader’s expectation of you, It shouldn’t be too embarrassing for us…”
“who!”
Her words haven’t After speaking, a red clothed woman in a battle robe suddenly jumped out from behind a boulder in front of her, with three strange oil paints on her face, and two French flags stuck behind her back.
“We are good people—” Cangkong quickly raised his hand.
Then I heard a slightly familiar… bang.
“You’re crazy!” Cangkong’s eyes widened, “You dare to sect the country?”
In Huaxu, there has always been a consensus that it is better to provoke the Imperial Court Life officer, Mo Ye Guo Sect disciple. The transcendent position of the state religion, the head of the state religion of this generation and its brutal means, has always been feared by people.
Li Chu shook his head, “Continue to lead the way.”
In his memory, the State Religion Forbidden Mountain was indeed strictly forbidden for Huaxu citizens to approach. Know how to go up the road.
An official like Cangkong was fortunate enough to accompany the monarch to the summit once or twice, and barely remembered the road.
The further up the road is, the more dangerous it will be. She really doesn’t want to go up, but Li Chu has already started…she can only continue to let him go up…
Then the two of them climbed up the high mountainside.
“You have subdued more than 30 sects along the way, it’s just…” Cangkong looked at Li Chu in disbelief, “It’s crazy.”
Li Chu Looking at the deep cave in front of him, he just asked, “This is it?”
“It should be…” Cang Kong said weakly.
“I’ll go in by myself, thank you.”
Although Li Chu has not stepped into the cave yet, Li Chu has already glanced at it, and the rich demonic energy in it is almost obscured. Everything hides hundreds of restless and dangerous breaths.
If you bring Cangkong in again, it may be dangerous.
Seeing Li Chu’s back walk into the cave, Cangkong suddenly felt at a loss.
Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing?
It’s good to visit a prison, as if he became an accomplice in his escape and hit the forbidden mountain? What a disaster.
But…
Although I sacrificed a lot, I just saw that beautiful face and said thank you to me…
I still feel very relieved.
Bah.
……
“Roar-“
“Ah…”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
…
p>
Down the deep cave, Li Chu overwhelmed many state religious guards along the way.
When I came to the depths of the cave, I saw a scene of send cold shivers down one’s spine.
In this huge cave, there are more than a hundred prisons, which are more like cages than prison cells.
In the narrow space, the heavy and complicated iron cables and talismans suppressed the existence of the cage. And the people locked in the iron cage, I don’t know if they can be called human…
There are people with bulging flesh and blood, and their eyes are scarlet like blood. Those who distinguish between humans and beasts are those who simply lose their human form, are covered with tentacles, and only have eyes that reveal a little emotion…
The demonic energy is surging.
They were all in their respective iron prisons at this time, either going mad or wailing, like a purgatory on earth for a while.
Li Chu walked in it, taking extra care at each step…
With the familiar atmosphere in his memory, he found a quieter cage in the depths.
It’s quieter here because the surrounding iron prisons are empty. Not empty, but full of blood and broken pieces of meat.
It appears that something tragic has happened.
“Chang Zi?” Li Chu tried to call out.
In the middle of the iron prison, there is a little girl who is not very demonized, but retains most of the human signs, but has seven or eight long purple tails, and her limbs turned into sharp claws.
She raised her eyes, and her eyes had turned into purple pupils.
“big brother?”
Her voice seemed uncertain, and she looked at Li Chu suspiciously.
“It’s me.” Li Chu came to the iron prison.
“You are my big brother?” Chang Zi’s eyes were still flashing with a purple glow, which seemed difficult to confirm.
Possibly, it is not only because of her demonization, but also because of Li Chu’s changes…
As the closest person, even if she is now conscious, there is still a deep sense of induction. Instead of simply relying on his appearance, he believed in his identity.
Li Chu didn’t defend much, but continued: “I’m here to save you.”
“Save…”
Chang Zi’s eyes After the light flickered for a while, it finally softened, as if Li Chu’s words made her put down her hostility and believed in his identity.
“big brother…you go…” She looked at the cave, “you can’t save me…”
Li Chu had already drawn his sword.
Since he has received the task, he will naturally not allow failure.
“It’s useless…” Chang Zi continued to shake his head, “Even if you cut down this iron prison, I can’t walk in the sun, we are all monsters that can’t see the light…”
>
“en?” Li Chu stopped.
Because Chang Zi’s words reminded him, this mission doesn’t seem to be so simple…
Is the so-called “rescue” really just as simple as releasing her from the cage?
So he put down his sword and asked one more question: “How did you become like this?”
“It’s the Master…” Chang Zi said, hesitating to speak, Changed his words: “The head of the state religion, she’s crazy…”
“She claimed that she had received a revelation from the gods, and the Huaxu Kingdom was about to perish… She said that the only way to save the Huaxu Kingdom is to use the whole country. Sublimation.”
“Sublimation?”
“The first one got a Primordial Demon Eye from somewhere…” Chang Zi said: “After being irradiated by the Primordial Demon Eye, The fleshy body will be transformed and greatly sublimated…”
Said, she smiled wryly, “Just like us.”
“She called it sublimation. ?” Li Chu frowned.
“That’s right, we have indeed gained a very strong power… but this power, accompanied by bloodthirsty and madness… is completely uncontrollable…” Chang Zi said painfully: “I used to cultivate After Divine Soul, they can barely suppress some, those ordinary warriors can’t struggle at all… They have all become monsters…”
Li Chu asked directly: “How can I save it?”
You?”
“It’s very difficult…” Nagisa hugged his head with both claws and said, “Someone has tried it, but even death can’t get rid of it. I’m afraid it’s the only way to destroy the Primordial Demon’s eye. There is no other way…”
so that’s how it is…
Li Chu knew in his heart, maybe this is the real mission content?
“Where’s that thing?” he asked again.
“Only the head of the state religion knows where it is…” Nagisa replied: “Only the head can summon it, drive it, the power of the Primordial Demon eye… unmatched…”
She suddenly raised her eyes and asked again in confusion: “Are you really my big brother?”
“I…”
Li Chu hesitated.
Because I don’t know what kind of answer is the most appropriate.
In such an open world, if one sentence is wrong and affects the next plot direction, it will be too bad.
Acknowledgment? Still don’t admit it?
Or just ignore it?
Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.
“Yingli!”
It was Cangkong, she didn’t leave, but ran in again.
“What’s wrong?” Li Chu asked.
“The first lord has already received the news…” Cang Kong hurriedly approached, although everything around her made her horrible to see, but that was not what she was most worried about.
“Ying Li, stop it.” She said anxiously, “There are all sects out there!”
“oh?” Are you here too?”
“It doesn’t seem like this…” Cang Kong said:
“The first adult said the day before yesterday that they would retreat in the temple before the Spring Flower Ceremony… No , Yingli, what’s the matter with your lost eyes?”
As she spoke, she was suddenly taken aback by the change in Li Chu’s eyes.
Aren’t you disappointed that you didn’t make the first adult take action in person?
Is it bad to live?
“In this case… it’s not a wise choice to fight outsiders.” Li Chu said.
“Of course!” Cang Kong said, “Ying Li, you finally figured out that surrender is the most… wise… eh, what are you doing?!”
Halfway through her words, Li Chu suddenly pointed his halberd upwards and pulled out his long sword with a squeak.
Next, Li Chu grabbed her arm and pulled her to the blade.
Although Cangkong is a civil servant, but as a woman, she has been taught the Method of Body Refining since she was born.
xiu——
A stream of light suddenly drilled out of the hole.
In the blink of an eye, it was already within the city wall of Huaxu.
Boom——
After falling to the ground, a cloud of smoke and dust splashed into the sky.
“Are you okay?” Li Chu asked.
As the smoke cleared, Cangkong collapsed to the ground in a large shape, his body and limbs kept twitching, his mouth and nose grunted vaguely, and there were vague signs of rolling his eyes…
p>
“Hello…” Li Chu called out again.
His own Yujian is indeed not that gentle, so he easily never dared to take people with him. It was because he felt that it was not good to leave Cangkong there by himself, so he tried to take her with him…
>
“Ah.” Cang Kong groaned and seemed to gradually came back to his senses, “This… where is this…”
She looked all around and suddenly stared at Li Chu , said: “You are not Ying Li!”
“…”
Was discovered? Li Chu was silent for a moment, weighing the necessity of killing a witness to silence them.
Who knew Cangkong said next: “You are Divine Immortal!”
After finishing speaking, she fainted very cleanly.
Li Chu observed with her heart, her body was not too different, but she was just too fast, she couldn’t bear it, she should be able to wake up in a while.
So she simply left her where she was.
There is no danger of being arrested by the state religion here. As for what to do next, it is up to her to wake up and decide for herself.
even more how…
After she wakes up, it is not certain whether Huaxu will still have the first seat of the state religion.
Li Chu returned the sword to its sheath and walked towards the direction of the temple in memory.
……
The Orthodox Temple has a long history, many buildings, and the area is constantly expanding. It is already more spacious than the King Huaxu Palace.
After Li Chu arrived, he flashed directly, passed through the high wall, and came to the interior of the temple.
The roads here are tangled and complicated, and the buildings are hard to distinguish, but Li Chu doesn’t care, and uses Mind Eye Technique to lock the strongest breath in the center.
That man must be the head of the state religion.
Walking all the way, after a while, I came to a white palace that was not tall but very elegant.
The target of this line is inside.
Not much to say, Li Chu stepped forward and wanted to go straight to the point.
As soon as I approached the temple, I heard one of them say loudly: “The first seat! No matter what, you must take care of your health, and you must eat! You work all day long on state affairs and think about the people, and you won’t come out at this time. What should I do if I am hungry and thin? I will feel distressed.”
This voice is very shrill, it sounds like a voice that has experienced hardships…
But I don’t know. Why, this unfamiliar voice made Li Chu feel a hint of familiarity…
“Go away.” This is a woman’s deep response.
“Okay.”
After being scolded, the voice of the owner of the shrill voice was still very pleasant, and turned to leave.
Li Chu was a little surprised when he saw the silhouette walking out of the temple.
It was him.
I saw Chen Huaji wearing a black two colors brocade clothes and a small hat, walking out happily.
Li Chu ambushed around the corner and pulled Chen Huaji over as he passed by.
“Heroes, spare your life!”
Chen Huaji’s first reaction to being frightened was to squat down with his head held in a lightning speed…
This way Even if someone wanted to kill him, it was too late to take action, and he would be fascinated by his decisive abandonment of resistance. If the other party has further moves, he still has a backhand – kneeling down.
“It’s me.” Li Chu said.
“Yeah?” Chen Huaji raised his head and was surprised: “Isn’t this the little pride of Yuhang that I admire the most, Little Daoist Priest?”
Li Chu didn’t bother to answer what he called. With that strange name, he asked directly: “Why are you here…what are you doing?”
“This…”
Chen Huaji suddenly mentioned his life experience. The lips are flat, the nostrils are dilated, and the big eyes are full of tears…
“Little Daoist Priest, I am incomplete…”
“…” Li Chu was silent For a moment, I didn’t know how to comfort me.
“I was caught by that bright light, and I found myself appearing in this Anglican temple. I was still a first-in-class confidant, and there was nothing wrong with it until I felt like I wanted to pee…
…”
Chen Huaji sobbed and said, “I found that I couldn’t find the tools to commit the crime…”
Seeing that he was crying more and more, Li Chu had to persuade: ” Crouching is more environmentally friendly.”
“Wow—” Chen Huaji seemed to have a tendency to cry.
Li Chu hurriedly said: “Tell me who you are first.”
“Oh…” Chen Huaji stopped crying on the spot, introduced: “My identity is a saint. A steward in the temple is called Wu Ji…”
A very apt name, Li Chu thought to himself.
But he didn’t dare to say it, after all, Chen Huaji just stopped crying.
“I am responsible for taking care of the food and daily life of the first adult all day long. Apart from this, there is no major event.” Chen Huaji continued.
“Is that so…” Li Chu nodded.
Is it possible that only you have complex tasks?
“Hey, Little Daoist Priest, why are you coming to the temple? Who is your identity?” Chen Huaji asked.
Li Chu did not hide his identity and goals.
Who knew that after finishing speaking, Chen Huaji was suddenly shocked, “Ah? You want to kill the first adult?”
“What?” Li Chu looked at him strangely, “No way? “
“Alas…” Chen Huaji sighed then said, “Up to now, I have no way to hide it. In fact, in addition to being the steward of the temple, I secretly have another identity… I am still The licking dog of the head of the state religion.”
“These two identities… do not conflict at all, right?” Li Chu wondered.
“No.” Chen Huaji shook his head and said, “I was also the Young Master of a wealthy family before, but later I committed a serious crime in my family and almost executed the whole family unto the third generation. I was not the first adult at that time. Saved me, and since then I have deeply remembered her in my heart.”
“Later, she became the first, but I was just a waste who couldn’t cultivate “Hua Xu Jing”, I just thought… …Since I can’t be with the person I love, what’s the use of this iron rod?”
Li Chu grinned.
It’s a guy.
“So I cut off the root of my troubles with one knife, and then threw myself into the temple, and worked hard to cultivate the “Hua Xu Jing”, just to protect the safety of the first adult. Although she possesses great magical power, it is not I need my protection…I am ready to give my life to protect her at any time…”
Li Chu looked at his moved expression and asked, “Is this a background story or your own person? Experience…how do you look so invested…”
“Oh, hehe.” Chen Huaji was stunned for a while, and then smiled sadly, “The main character of this buddy Wu Ji is in the right way with me. Now, the sense of substitution is very strong.”
After speaking, he scratched his head again and said: “And I seem to have a feeling somewhere, like… I have to protect the first adult, and I can’t let her suffer any Injury, and to help her accomplish what she has to do, so that she can get something.”
“oh?” Li Chu blinked, “Then it seems that your mission… is to help the first boss. ?”
“But doesn’t it just conflict with your mission…” Chen Huaji looked at Li Chu embarrassedly, “What should I do?”
“It’s not good at all. The way…” Li Chu was very indifferent, and said slowly: “In this case, let’s compete fairly.”
“Clam?” Is this really fair?”
