A black umbrella flew over, spinning. The obstruction of the umbrella caused Chongming's shadow's movement to freeze for a moment, and then he was knocked away.
When Shi Yu turned over, he brushed past the sharp beak of the Chongming phantom, and the knife-like airflow wrapped in flames tore the fluttering hem of his clothes. The frontal attack did not fall on him, but he was a step slower to withdraw his hand, and his pale knuckles were cut to the bone, oozing red in the rain.
With a loud bang, the violent wind that rose from the ground almost blew people away. He turned his head and saw that the place where he was standing had collapsed into a hole with a diameter of more than one meter.
The bright shadow flew up into the sky again, circled in a half circle and swooped down towards him.
Shi Yu dodged again, but when he landed he seemed to be stepping into the clouds, his foot twisted and he fell to his knees.
When Chongming attacked for the third time, Jiang Jiaying finally arrived at the scene to retrieve his black umbrella and met Chongming's huge figure.
The tip of the umbrella rotated again, leaving a black afterimage in the air. When the speed reached its limit, it slammed into the head of Chongming's phantom.
"Bang--!"
Chongming's shadow retreated half a meter, but Jiang Jiaying was directly knocked out by the huge impact force and hit a tree trunk several meters away. With a "crackling" sound that made people's teeth ache, the tree trunk behind him broke in half, and the lush end fell down with a crash.
The emperor was stunned for a long time, watching the monster with the appearance of Chongming wreaking havoc. He finally realized that something was wrong. He compared the east gradually getting brighter when the phantom was dying with the night coming again when he was alive and well. He suddenly raised his hand to the guards: "Kill that monster! Whoever kills it will be rewarded!"
The imperial guards rushed forward like a tide, and the cold weapons they threw broke through the rain.
The shadow flapped its wings and flew high to avoid it, trying to find an opportunity to attack again, but the metal still flew into its defense while it was hovering at low altitude, cutting off its fluttering feathers and scratching its skin with its sharp parts.
It was enraged by the continuous attacks, and suddenly let out a long roar towards the sky. It folded its wings together behind it and slammed into the ground in a streamlined shape, blowing away countless swords and sabers along the way, before falling to the point where the imperial guards were most concentrated.
“Bang!!”
The sound was like thunder and fire exploding in the ground. Large groups of imperial guards were thrown backwards. Those who were close were completely crushed into the ground, while those who were far away were also hit by the impact and bled from all seven orifices.
Not to mention the power gap, the opponent can also fly, so there is no place to use force even if I want to hit him.
The two sides only fought a few times, but the number of casualties kept growing.
The heavy rain blurred the scene, like frosted glass that was broken and then reassembled.
Shi Yu pushed away the bloody Imperial Guard who was lying on him, and held on to the ground with his hands with great difficulty. The amount of medicine in the broken porcelain bottle was actually very small, but the sequelae of the moment had not stopped, and when he stood up, his legs were so weak that he could hardly support his body.
He glanced at the shadow of Chongming who was already entangled with the imperial guards, his lips turning pale from the effort, and turned around to leave the forest house.
【？ ？ ？】
[Although I understand that Chongming’s current fighting power is too strong, it is still disillusioning to see him run away like this]
[Besides, there is no point in running away now. The Divine Realm cannot delay any longer. They simply cannot come out if the mission is not completed. Hiding is just waiting to die in another place.]
[Seeing now, I can only say that the people in the God Realm are all the same. Shu Nian stabbed her companion to bring out Chong Ming's ultimate form, and he threw her companion to Chong Ming as a target just to escape. No wonder they were able to get together in the past. ]
[I was shown off earlier. Why is it necessary to leave a scene where a person is bound to die? ]
[If I stay, I will die, but if I leave, I will be hypocritical? ? ]
[I said, why do you all think he is trying to escape? Am I the only one who thinks of another possibility? ]
The area designated by the emperor to raise Chongming was not small, and even a normal person would need half an hour to run the diameter.
Fortunately, the time when the half-paralyzed player was attacked was Yin hour, which is not far from Zi hour on the sundial.
The noise of weapons colliding behind him became quieter, and then the sound of Chongming's cry and the air flow from his wings suddenly got closer, and then he came down like a meteor!
Shi Yu looked at the shadow on the ground, stepped on the highest point of the slope when Chongming went down, and then jumped down.
The huge impact force created a strong wind, which instantly blew him into the mountain forest covered with layers of branches and leaves.
The target in his eyes just disappeared, and he was sent away by himself. The guards chasing him from behind also threw their weapons again, and swords, darts and arrows came flying at him in a mess.
Chongming's feathers were scratched and tattered, and even though there was no bleeding, it was still very annoyed. He flapped his wings and flew up again, turned around and crashed down again. When he hit the ground, he didn't know how many yellow-jacketed imperial guards were crushed to death in an instant.
The imperial guards retreated one after another, and Chongming's shadow flew high into the sky, but he did not engage with them for too long. Instead, he chased in the direction where Shi Yu disappeared again.
I don't know if it was simply to avenge the previous attack, or if he simply had a premonition that he would not be safe unless this trouble was resolved first.
There is no moon in the sky of the Kingdom That Never Sleeps, and there is even a lack of light in the forest.
Shi Yu used the woods to avoid the dives of the Chongming phantom several times. In the end, perhaps because the opponent got angry, it suddenly gave up attacking again while in the air and flew forward instead.
The destination of the man and the beast is the same.
Relying on its ability to fly, the shadow of Chongming moved even faster. It circled above the group of houses representing the hour of midnight and made several circles in the sky, its speed getting faster and faster.
Then it fell towards the wooden fence.
The lantern hanging at the gate of the fence turned over, the lampshade shattered, and the blood-red lamp oil splashed onto the wings of the animal inside.
The heat suddenly aroused by the collision and friction lasted only for a moment, but it instantly ignited the highly flammable combustible materials. Thousands of double-headed birds struggled and screamed in the flames.
[Fuck, my ears are going deaf]
[Why did this Chongming suddenly kill its own kind? 】
[Why is Shi Yu still running? Chongming is waiting in front. Wouldn't it be suicide for him to run over? ]
When Shi Yu left the forest, a huge fire happened to rise into the sky.
He took out the pen from his bracelet again.
The rain was pouring down, but the fire on the ground was burning more and more fiercely.
Seeing that its goal had been achieved, Chongming Shadow turned its attention to him and attacked him again.
Shi Yu raised his hand and threw the pen away.
The white-hair brush drew a beautiful parabola in the air and flew towards Chongming. At the moment when it was about to collide, the brush suddenly stopped, floating vertically in the air, with the white-hair part facing downward, and swayed around like a pendulum.
A huge compass emerged from the ground and rose rapidly to just below Chongming. It looked like a circle drawn by Sun Wukong with his golden cudgel, or like a birdcage with only the base visible, firmly imprisoning Chongming inside.
Chongming flew out rapidly, and when he was about to leave the compass range, he seemed to hit an invisible barrier and was bounced back to the spot.
Shi Yu ran to the burning chicken coop and jumped into the raging fire without hesitation.
【？ ？ ？】
【What the hell???】
[What is this operation? A short pain is better than a long pain? ]
[In order to avoid being tortured by the enemy, why not just commit suicide? 】
[Fuck, I think I know what he wants to do. Is it what I think?! ]
The temperature in the flames is so high that it can melt steel and burn human bones.
The rain that Shi Yu had been soaked by evaporated quickly in the sea of fire, and the ground was mixed with corpses and straw into a sticky mud. The cold sweat on his forehead was too hot for the fire to dry, and suddenly there was a cracking sound above his head.
The bamboo awning was burned in half by the fire, and the fence collapsed suddenly as well.
Shi Yu quickened his pace and dodged the falling awning. The collapsed bamboo strips behind him created a scorching wind, which ignited the straw on the ground, and flames suddenly burst into flames.
His heels felt weak, the flames almost licked his hair, but his vision remained dark, the scenery in front of him was spinning, and even he himself seemed to be spinning.
The hollow wooden planks under his feet could no longer bear the weight and collapsed along with the flames. His body also sank with the ground, and the smoke and dust choked him and made him cough. He struggled to get up and move himself to the thatched hut in the corner, but finally couldn't hold on and fell down.
The nests built along the edge of the fence are for birds to lay eggs.
The eggs laid by the Chongming bird look no different from ordinary poultry eggs, but there are very few of them, less than a hundred. A large piece of them broke into pieces when the fence collapsed, and the golden and clear egg liquid spilled all over the ground. The shells of the few that survived were burnt black by the high temperature.
There are only a few that appear to be intact.
Shi Yu had no strength left in his body. The dense golden threads wrapped around his fingertips again, and then twisted together one by one, extending outwards. The outer ones were instantly burned after being hit by the fire, while the inner ones were still protected and passed through the raging fire, rolling straight towards the heavy eggs.
The first one, the back is charred.
The second one has a crack on the bottom.
The third one had a hole at the big end.
…
The sixth and last one to be examined.
There was no carbonization or damage, and it was in such good condition that it didn't look like something that should be in a chicken coop. The flames left no marks on the shell, but instead made the color brighter and brighter, as if some kind of sacred and active life was being nurtured inside, ready to break out of the shell and fly into the sky in the next second.
【Grass? ? ? 】
[It's okay to burn like this, is there Chongming inside? Is it Chongming? ? ]
[But it’s obviously not time for the shell to break out yet, is it going to be smashed directly???]
[If we could delay it a little longer, Chongming would probably come out on his own. Unfortunately, Shu Nian got into trouble and there was no time to wait.]
[You forgot earlier. If it weren’t for someone causing trouble, the mission would have been completed by now if the Chongming outside had burned.]
[Wait... Damn it!!!]
The compass cage shattered, and Chongming's shadow finally broke free and crashed into the crumbling fence again.
Shi Yu shook her wrist, and a hairpin appeared in her palm.
He held one end of the hairpin, pointed the sharp end at his left wrist and scratched it hard.
His blood vessels were punctured, and blood immediately gushed out from his palm, gathering into streams and dripping onto the heavy egg wrapped in the silk thread.
The blood of the god stained the eggshell of the strange beast and was quickly absorbed like a sponge. The egg shook and the inside broke with a slight crisp sound.
The building could not withstand the heavy blow and finally collapsed. The pillars and beams of Chongming House fell down with raging flames.
The creature that was being nurtured finally broke out of the shell.
The bamboo shed collapsed into ruins, but at this moment, everyone saw with their own eyes that the collapsed bamboo shed was pushed up from the inside.
The flames died down quickly as if being absorbed by something, and a gorgeous divine bird soared into the sky from the ruins. Each of its feathers carried an extremely scorching flame. Its sharp beak directly grabbed the neck of Chongming's phantom in mid-air, and both of them fell on a deserted hillside.
The sycamore trees were shaken by the strong wind, and the dust was scattered.
Chongming's shadow collapsed on the ground, with fire burning on his body; and the divine bird walked out of the fire, raised its head and howled at the sky, its eyes shining brightly.
