Demolition

Chapter 55

Baiya Village in the night is quiet and strange, the moonlight barely emerges a little light from behind the layers of dark clouds, illuminating the shadows and trees on the mountain.The usually noisy crow disappeared at this time, like a lonely mountain.The winter solstice has passed, and the temperature in the middle of the night has already made people exhale the north air uncontrollably. Coupled with the heavy humidity in the south, the damp cold penetrates directly into the bones of people, making them trembling uncontrollably.Lu Chen was riding on a horse, with Ji Chuan, Duan Lin and Duan Jiang beside him.

He never thought that one day he would face Ying Yuanzhi in such a posture, taking his head with a sword, just as he told Ji Chuan, in his subconscious he would never let him go on the opposite side of oneself.But now Lu Chen understands that he has no choice. He is a tyrant who kills his father and enemies and even cares about innocent people. He is the only survivor of the Lu family and the only descendant of Taiyi Sect.Ten years ago, for whatever reason, Ying Yuanzhi threw him out of the pile of dead people and gave him a way to survive. Maybe even Ying Yuanzhi himself didn't think that he was just taking in this man with the idea of ​​living in a rare commodity. People, ten years later, will be his worst enemy.

What the last head of Taiyi failed to do, he left a three-legged crow and a glimmer of hope for the last Taiyi people, hoping that they would do it; what the Lu family failed to do for generations, left a book Taiyishu gave Lu Jie a Taiyi sword, hoping that he could do it; but Lu Jie didn't do it either, he didn't leave anything to his only son, he thought this endless battle was over , but their enemies personally sent Lu Chen to Chaohu.

This is probably fate. It is destined in the dark. People who do evil can dominate the situation for a hundred years, but they will still not escape justice.The so-called evil does not suppress the right, because the trajectory of history will not be changed by human will. There is always a force that matures at a certain time, and then soars into the sky and kills with one blow.

Duan Jiang has already told Lu Chen that Chaohu is far more powerful than he imagined.Back then, the head of Taiyi only dismantled an ordinary crow, but relying on the energy of a dead man, he single-handedly broke through numerous sieges, returned to the ancient capital Yunzhong, and bloodbathed more than half of the garrison troops in the imperial city. By the time the old emperor came back in a panic, he had already gone south alone, severely injuring the border army, and completely tore through the southern barrier.Before the old emperor could speak up, the barbarians divided up his land completely.But now that Lu Chen has merged with Chaohu Lake, his ability will only increase, not decrease. Not to mention that Ying Yuanzhi only brought ten crow demolishers, even if he brought one Yin Xiao Lou.

However, Lu Chen didn't have any real feeling that his skill reached the realm of no one overnight, whether he could rescue those idle crow crackers in the north that Ying Yuanzhi caught, and whether he could stop Ying Yuanzhi's crazy plan, Even whether he can get revenge is what he cares about.

Relying on his understanding of the terrain of Baiya Village, Duan Jiang led the three of them to search around the bottom of the mountain, but they didn't even find half a person.

"Strange, could it be that we guessed wrong?"

"Impossible, I have already felt that the surrounding air fluctuates abnormally, and Sangmu must be nearby." Duan Jiang frowned while picking up a handful of sand on the ground with his fingers, sniffing it under his nose, "strange, Obviously I can feel the flow of mulberry wood in the air, why is there no trace of mulberry tree growing in the sand around here?"

Lu Chen was also surprised that there were broken walls in the south of Baiyazhai, turbulence in the north, and steep and rugged paths on the mountains. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like a place where a large number of crow-removing people could gather. He followed Duan Jiang and looked around. tugged at his sleeve

"Look." He raised his head and pointed to the top of his head. Lu Chen followed along and was shocked by the scene in front of him.On the top of their heads, a dense silver net has been woven all over their heads. After a closer look, it is clear that it is not a net, but the result of the intersecting and entangled branches and leaves that are too dense. .

"This, is this Sangmu?" Duan Lin asked stammeringly.Even the well-informed Duan Jiang was speechless. The sacred tree that was supposed to grow in the Tanggu Wonderland bears the most important source of all things in the world—the sacred tree that rises and sets. The sacred tree in the legend and imagination actually appeared in the world in this way, and appeared in front of them.It's the best wonder in the world.

The growth rate of mulberry trees is not too fast, just like ordinary trees sprouting in spring, the ends of countless branches pull out new leaves little by little, and the fluorescent dots are like stars filling the air, I don’t know where their trunks are I don't know if they will become a single tree in the end, but those curled branches and leaves symbolize recovery and rebirth, which are particularly abrupt on this cold winter night. The silver light makes their growth look cold and indifferent, like a tree from hell. The devil who returned to the world.

"We must find its branches as soon as possible. The stronger it is, the more competitive it will be. In the end, it will not only be the raven-removing people, but this area will be barren." Duan Jiang said urgently.

But these branches are entangled with each other, and the length and direction are completely different. What they see in front of them is just the tip of the iceberg, and it is impossible to tell where they came from.

"Over there." At this moment, Ji Chuan suddenly pointed, and Lu Chen immediately followed, but Duan Jiang asked suspiciously.

"How are you sure?"

"Mulberry is also a tree, and all trees tend to be hydrophilic. The Huaihe River is in the north, and its branches must face the north, and it itself is at the southern end."

But the southern end is a cliff, how can a big tree grow?

"Young master, have you forgotten that even pines and cypresses can grow in the cracks of rocks, let alone mulberry trees?"

Lu Chen understood, the four of them hurried towards the south, the silver light above their heads was always faintly visible, but Lu Chen felt that every moment it was brighter than before, and those continuously extending vines were like whips, whipping hard. on his back

'Huh' A sharp arrow passed by Ji Chuan in the dark night, and just before this moment, Lu Chen had already grabbed him, Lu Chen's face was gloomy

"He knew I was coming."

It was still dark ahead, but the four of them understood that there were countless eyes that were about to move in the darkness, ready to seal their throats with a sword.Lu Chen drew out his Taiyi sword from his waist, and the sword light flashed, causing the branches of mulberry trees to tremble slightly.And Ji Chuan also opened his daggers.

'Whizzing'

Dozens of arrows pierced the silence, and came straight to the vital point with a biting cold wind. Lu Chen didn't even bother in his heart. He knew that Ying Yuanzhi didn't have a few crow-removal people around him now, and whether he dared to use it or not was another matter. What's the matter?Who knows if those people will feel cold when they see what Ying Yuanzhi is doing.The rest of the ordinary soldiers, without the spirit of Chaohu, can use one to a hundred by themselves.

He stabilized his mount, circled his body in a large circle, swung the sword with one hand, and blocked those arrows one by one with its precise angle.However, the opponent did not stop because of this. The moment Lu Chen retracted his sword, he released two more arrows. The rain of arrows fell from the sky with the momentum of thousands of arrows piercing the heart. Before Lu Chen could react, Ji Chuan had already shot The two daggers on the top, the two curved daggers seemed to be alive, drawing two arcs on both sides respectively, forming a barrier above them, and hitting all of them without falling.

Ji Chuan withdrew his dagger and raised his eyebrows at Lu Chen, who was in a hurry

"Don't even have a self-defense thing in your hand!"

"Don't I have a young master to defend myself?" Ji Chuan laughed, and Lu Chen replied viciously.

"Didn't you say you wanted to protect me? How come you won't admit what you said once you got it?"

Ji Chuan was silenced by him for the first time, but it was very fresh, so he couldn't help but smiled and nodded.

And this side fell into a stalemate again, and the other party also saw that Lu Chen and the others were unfathomable and did not dare to act rashly, and Lu Chen didn't know what was lying ahead.But he couldn't delay on his side. Lu Chen knew that these people might not necessarily want to put them to death, but as long as they were slowed down, their tricks would succeed.Lu Chen lowered his head and whispered

"Split up."

"No." Ji Chuan flatly refused.

"The four of us have too many goals together, and it's not efficient to find them."

"It's better to divide into two sides, you and that brat." Duan Jiang also knew that stalemate here is not an option, so he said decisively

Lu Chen nodded, and suddenly raised his sword to cast a beautiful charm around his body, and then gave a low drink, the spell spread along his voice, and after hearing a few muffled sounds, Lu Chen and Ji Chuan looked at each other , clamping the horse's belly and galloping towards one of the directions.

Immediately behind them was the sound of howling arrows, and Lu Chen threw it back without hesitation. An invisible shield bought time for them, and there was no sound behind him after a while.

The two rushed forward like flying, and did not slow down until they saw a faint flame.Above the fire is a silver tree trunk. Although it is not thick, its canopy has covered the sky and the sun, and the tree body is continuously absorbing nutrients from the outside world.Those nutrients were captured by Ying Yuanzhi, who was imprisoned in several cliff caves on the towering cliffs of Baiyazhai at this time.

The cliff cave is very high, and it looks very large from the outside. There are wrist-thick iron chains hanging from the outside of each cliff cave. chain!

When Lu Chen saw this scene, his anger was instantly ignited. Before Ji Chuan could hold him back, he rushed into the range of the firelight, but he stopped before he could take half a step.

At the bottom of the cliff, the not-so-big open space was densely covered with sharpened wooden stakes, and even under the light of the fire, the smudges painted on the tip glistened.In addition, Ying Yuanzhi had already laid a net of heaven and earth, and lined up a full nine layers of soldiers outside the wooden stake formation, and even the trees were full of people squatting.Everyone has drawn their bows and arrows, ready to fight, not to mention a single person, not even a fly can fly out.

"Chen'er, you're back."

At the moment when Lu Chen was in a daze, Ying Yuanzhi's gentle voice came from the opposite side of the cliff. Lu Chen looked over, and in the shadow, Ying Yuanzhi rode out of the forest with dozens of cronies on horseback. On top of the brown BMW is Ying Yuanzhi, who looks like a noble son, his smile is actually the same as before.They're all so gentle and polite, it's disgusting.

Lu Chen was agitated by him, and Ji Chuan held his hand to stabilize his mind.Sakura Toyuki was a little surprised when he saw Jichuan, but he quickly recovered his mask-like expression

"Chen'er, you said it's fine if I let you do whatever I want, but why are you still hanging out with a crow?" Ying Yuanzhi smiled mockingly, "You can't kill you even if you tear down the crow, it's your fate, but You won't be so lucky this time."

Ying Yuanzhi smiled and pointed at Sang Mu next to him

"Did you see that? This is really a beautiful scenery that you can't see once in a hundred years? Tanggu Fusang, it looks like this," his expression was still slightly obsessed and crazy at the moment, and it turned into a cruel and bloodthirsty expression in an instant. The beast said in a cold voice, "This is where your bones will be buried tonight."

Lu Chen wanted to refute, but it was in vain. Those arrows that were shining with cold light were aimed at him, but he knew that Ying Yuanzhi didn't need to kill himself at all. They didn't need to use any tricks to deal with him. What they had to deal with were hundreds of crow demolishers in the cliff cave. No matter how many people came out, they would all be shot to death by random arrows before landing.

You are my person alive, and you will be my ghost when you die.

Lu Chen shuddered, this is, the devil.

"Chen'er, it's still too late to come back to me."

It was this sweet and seductive voice, Ying Yuanzhi's facial features distorted in the firelight, and Lu Chen couldn't help being in a trance.He is a huge spider who prepares the web early, and then waits for the fat food to throw himself into the web without a single soldier.

"Young master." It was Ji Chuan's anxious voice.

Lu Chen looked at him blankly, and then looked up at the mulberry tree above his head. It had grown a lot, and the flowing silver light was particularly dazzling in the night.

What should he do?Lu Chen was helpless.

There was a "bang", in the middle of a stalemate, someone threw something into the fire, and it exploded, and the flames shot straight into the sky.

Ying Yuanzhi turned pale with shock, and Ji Chuan and Lu Chen turned their heads at the same time.

A voice came from behind.
