Chapter 44
Chuntao's breathing quickened. She rolled out of the house into the courtyard. The other two, who hadn't gone far yet, also stopped.
The transparent barrier completely blocked this area, leaving no way out.
Qian Qiuxue fell back to the ground from the beam. He turned around to look at the dead body on the bed and smiled evilly.
Xue Yin held up her flying knife, lowered her body, frowned, and said to Gu Luoyan beside her, "Is this the Right Prime Minister? Is he also a demon?"
Gu Luoyan also raised his arm, pointed at the Right Prime Minister, and replied in a low voice: "I haven't received any news."
As she spoke, she suddenly remembered that when she met Princess Qibao Zong, she heard her mumbling about why her brother had achieved immortality without her.
At that time, everyone just thought she was crazy and talking nonsense.
But looking back today, I'm afraid what Zong Ji said was the truth.
The bowstring was pressed, and the hidden arrow shot towards Qian Qiuxue. Gu Luoyan said, "No matter what, there is no way out. It's either him or me!"
Xue Yi no longer looked at her. The flying knife in her hand was as fast as the wind, flying out from her fingertips, following the sleeve arrow.
A copper coin suddenly bounced at Qian Qiuxue's fingertips, and its dark side was revealed as it flipped in the air.
He smiled and uttered a word: "Vicious." Then he lowered his body and dodged the hidden arrows and flying knives.
He squatted down, supporting himself on his hands and feet, and said to them with a smile, "Girls, thank you for your kindness to me. Today you will be my food, and I will live for another hundred years!"
After he finished speaking, Qian Qiuxue's hands and feet left the ground simultaneously, and he jumped several feet high. More copper coins fell from his body, hitting the ground, and landed precisely at everyone's feet.
His long tongue, like a blade, swung down from the air, knocking the dagger out of Chuntao's hand. He began to fall, his eyes spinning, and several overlapping copper coin patterns appeared in his pupils.
Qian Qiuxue said with a smile: "Good luck."
So the flying knife that Xue Yi threw deviated in direction and flew towards Chun Tao irresistibly, stabbing her leg.
"Ah!" A cry of pain.
The blade was smeared with poison, which quickly took effect on Chuntao's calf.
Chuntao fell to his knees and could not stand up again.
The drizzle seemed to have stopped, and the lights of the guards' fire appeared from the corridor at the back.
Qian Qiuxue returned to the ground. Xue Yi ran and threw another flying knife behind him, but he only needed to turn slightly to avoid it.
The flying knife deviated again and flew towards Gu Luoyan.
The stars in the sky twinkled, and the flying knife pierced into the open space in front of Gu Luoyan, but failed to pierce her body as expected.
"Oh?" the man exclaimed, then narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Luoyan from top to bottom.
"Interesting, interesting." He seemed to have found the fun and walked towards Gu Luoyan.
He threw another copper coin backwards, blocking Xue Yi's flying knife.
Qian Qiuxue glanced back at Xue Yi and said, "Good luck."
Her heart suddenly tightened, and Xue Yi felt a little breathless. The irregular heartbeat made her fall, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
The heart attack came without any warning.
Xue Yi's face began to turn pale, and Gu Luoyan's breathing also stopped.
The guards from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion arrived and surrounded the area on all sides, with their swords pointed inward, staring closely at Gu Luoyan. Perhaps she had no chance of winning today.
Suddenly, one side of the courtyard wall collapsed, and the bricks and soil swept several guards into it.
It started raining again, heavy rain, and gradually turned into fine ice chips and hail.
Gu Luoyan stood opposite Qian Qiuxue. The seven stars in the sky connected and pointed to the right prime minister.
"Ziwei Star, it turns out to be Ziwei Star!" Qian Qiuxue looked at the sudden strange phenomenon and her face became excited.
He straightened his expression, looked at Gu Luoyan, and said to her, "I wonder which one has a better chance of winning, your Purple Star or my Millennium Treasure?"
He squatted down again, and tumors began to grow on his face and back.
The copper coin pattern in his eyes rotated, and the golden light spread out and changed its shape, revealing the appearance of a toad.
The toad, which has practiced for thousands of years, can distinguish between good and bad fortune, predict good and bad luck, and predict the future.
But Qian Qiuxue was always puzzled, as he could not transform into the full form of a toad, but only his hands and feet, and a tumor grew on his back.
He doesn't look like a real monster.
The hidden arrow was pointed at him again, and the guards around him did not dare to step forward. Some pretended to be calm, while others showed fear on their faces.
The ground suddenly began to shake, Qian Qiuxue's eyes widened, and she shouted, "Great evil!"
A crack in the ground split the ground as the hidden arrow shot out.
Qian Qiuxue jumped up, but it was in vain. The attraction, unable to resist, made him fall rapidly. As the ground shook violently, the house collapsed and turned into ruins in an instant.
The ground cracked, houses collapsed, and rocks, wood, and tiles fell on everything in the yard. Only Chuntao and Xueyi who fell to the ground were spared.
Gu Luoyan stood there and said nothing.
She was concentrating on her wish - the right prime minister must die tonight!
What is Ziwei Star? When the earth tears apart and shatters everything, the seven stars will shine brightly!
When Ziwei Star comes to the world, everything will be accomplished!
What if that thousand-year-old treasure could turn misfortune into fortune? How could it resist the will of heaven?
The yin and yang of the copper coin seemed to be ineffective in Qian Qiuxue's palm.
His self-proclaimed ability to predict the future became useless in this absurd earthquake.
The thousand-year-old treasure gifted by the Queen Mother seemed to be about to be vomited out. His luck and misfortune were no longer of any use.
Qian Qiuxue fell into a crack in the ground and struggled, but saw the ground closing again, squeezing his body into mud.
But in just a moment, the right prime minister's mansion disappeared and became a ruin.
The upper body of Right Prime Minister Qian Qiuxue was stuck in the crack of the ground, showing endless fear and pain.
The Right Prime Minister is dead.
Killed by Gu Luoyan, the shaking of the earth stopped.
Gu Luoyan came back to her senses from a trance, and the indifference and alienation disappeared from her expression.
Only then did she begin to gasp for air and breathe deeply.
She saw the tragic death of the Right Prime Minister and the people buried by the earthquake. Gu Luoyan looked down at her palms, which were trembling. After the disbelief, there was a confusion like a lump in her throat.
The rain continued to fall, but it had become lighter. The night breeze was as usual, and it was a long, comfortable night.
How ridiculous! The earthquake only affected the Right Prime Minister's residence, and even the people on the other side of the street didn't notice the noise.
Does that power really come from Rongti?
Why doesn't he show such magical powers?
Gu Luoyan was puzzled. She felt confused, lost, and even felt fear in her heart.
What forced her to come back to her senses was Chun Tao's voice, which was filled with pain.
Gu Luoyan didn't want to think about it anymore. She ran over the ruins and found Chun Tao Xue Yi, who was covered in dust but not injured at all.
At this time, Xue Yi's heart palpitations had stopped and gradually returned to normal.
She was helped up by Gu Luoyan, and after she stood firmly, she watched Gu Luoyan squat down to take out Xue Yi's flying knife. She placed her hand on Chuntao's calf to check the injury.
Gu Luoyan thought to herself: Chuntao will be fine, she will be fine.
The remaining toxins in Chuntao's calf no longer attached themselves to the blood vessels, and only the skin at the wound turned black and purple.
The bleeding soon stopped, and Xue Yi also came over. The two of them worked together to help Chun Tao up. Gu Luoyan took a last look at the Right Prime Minister's mansion, which had become a wasteland.
Fear flashed in her eyes, and she wanted to hide. She and Xue Yi supported Chun Tao and were about to leave.
In the shadows, a pair of eyes were looking at Gu Luoyan, and then a person appeared in the shadows.
Huge wings spread out from the shadow, and the two arms on them twisted and expanded, becoming several times larger.
Veins grew, and the giant hands moved forward, about to pierce through Gu Luoyan's back!
"careful!"
A gust of wind, a moment.
The sound of a giant hand stretching flesh and blood could be heard from behind.
The three turned around and saw a woman with her chest pierced by a giant hand.
Those ugly hands were covered with white juice, and the arms were stretched to the left and right of the body.
More parts of the body were torn apart.
She was cut in half at the chest right in front of the three men.
The half of the body with its chest torn open fell backwards, and Gu Luoyan saw a pair of light-colored eyes.
She recognized her.
The woman saw her too.
Why is she laughing?
Smile with relief, smile with peace.
Don’t die, don’t die!
Gu Luoyan thought this and was about to run forward.
In a trance, the voice of a person in my memory seemed to appear in my ears again: "Luo Yan, what is the name of the musician again?"
"The musician's name is Dou Shiqiu. Why are you talking nonsense today, sister?"
Dou Shiqiu closed his eyes.
I finally felt relieved in my heart.
"Nanzhi, I have fulfilled my promise to you." I want to protect Gu Ji and not let her be bullied or suffer.
How foolish of me to wait so long before fulfilling my promise.
Next life, if there is a next life.
I don't want to be a monster anymore, I want to live with you.
Nanzhi, can we be real sisters then?
Dou Shiqiu could no longer see anything. All that remained before his eyes was darkness.
·
The black shadow moved forward and was stunned for a moment when he looked at the torn body.
Gu Luoyan stood there in a daze until she saw Dou Shiqiu close his eyes and his body began to wither like a flower. Only then did she come to her senses and look at the monster in front of her.
Her eyes instantly filled with tears, the seven stars in the sky shone brightly, and she shouted, "Go to hell!"
The ground was shaking, cracking the crust, and huge waves formed and hit the monster.
Half of his body and wings quickly retracted into the shadows, and he dived into the shadows of the ground amid the roar of the earth.
Countless bats flew out and pounced on the three people, biting them.
A torrential rain of punishment fell, like a rainbow, with a thousand pounds of force, hitting the flying bats one by one and causing them to fall to the ground.
The black shadow took shape and kept moving above the earthquake.
The shadow turned into a knife, then a blade, and attacked Gu Luoyan with irresistible force.
"Master, we found it, it's right here!" A voice suddenly came from the air.
A pair of wings with silver-white arcs vibrated, carrying the flying person to the ruins.
Guan Qing stopped and opened the third eye on his forehead, as if looking for something.
"Master... she's gone. My wings haven't sensed anything either."
"That is..." Before Guan Qing could react, a red rope split the rain and blocked the blade transformed from the shadow.
Countless golden fish formed a sea and approached the three people in the rain.
After a breath, the red rope turned into a net and fell from the sky.
The red carp appeared before Gu Luoyan's eyes, but it said to Guan Qing in the air: "Yi Jin, don't be careless."
"This place has encountered a demon."
She then tilted her head slightly to look behind her. There was deep meaning in her golden eyes. They fell on Gu Luoyan for a moment before she looked away.
She said, "Miss Luo Yan, are you all okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding rainwater gathered and flowed upstream, forming a water curtain barrier.
She pulled the red string between her two fingers, and the scattered red net took shape.
The red threads condensed into red air currents and fell from the sky.
Dragon heads appeared in the air flow, and countless red dragons came roaring!
——The dragon’s roar is deafening!
