Chapter 557: The Hero's Back
【bite!】
[Detected that the host killed the Son of Heaven "Bai Youheng"]
[The host has plundered all of his luck, and is awarded 1000 system points]
[It is detected that the host has no connection with the "Heavenly Dao" of this world and cannot enjoy the luck bonus. The luck of the "Gu Diao" is now distributed in the form of special magical powers]
[Congratulations to the host for mastering the special magical power "Soul Devouring"]
[Soul Devouring: A special magical power, the host can extract the soul from a human corpse to increase his own cultivation a little bit. 】
When Wei Changtian recalled the long sword nailed to Bai Youheng's body into the Star Scabbard, a series of system prompt sounds rang in his mind, confirming that the latter was indeed dead.
But Why are there only 1000 system points?
Didn't I give 1,500 to Yunlian before? Could it be that there is a difference between the Son of Heaven? A trace of doubt flashed through Wei Changtian's mind, but he soon figured it out.
It should be because he had previously plundered some of Bai Youheng's luck.
Perhaps all the luck of a Son of Heaven is only worth 1,500 points. Since I had taken away a part of Bai Youheng before, the remaining luck would naturally be less.
In that case, wouldn't killing Ning Yongnian give even less? He felt helpless, and then quickly looked at the description of "Soul Eater".
Extract souls and increase your cultivation.
It feels similar to "Monster Capture", except that one targets demon corpses, and the other targets human corpses.
Wei Changtian originally thought that the special magical power he obtained this time should be the same one that Bai Youheng used to massacre Yuanzhou City. Now that he found out it was not, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Although "Soul Eater" is also good, compared to "Monster Capture", it at least saves the troublesome process of "finding monsters to kill".
However, he already had too many of these "growth skills", and what he lacked was some magical powers with greater lethality.
Never mind, it’s good to have it.
He shook his head, glanced at the huge Gu eagle flying towards him, and then looked at Ning Yongnian who had been silent opposite him.
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes, increased his strength with his feet, and in an instant broke several of Wu Ding's ribs again.
"Ning Yongnian, I don't have time to waste here with you."
"say!"
“.”
As the sky gets dark, the snowflakes dance wildly like flying catkins.
The dragon robe swayed in the cold wind, and the fists hidden in the sleeves were clenched tightly.
From the moment Wei Changtian killed Bai Youheng, Ning Yongnian's heart was filled with anger.
However, when he saw with his own eyes that the Gu Eagle that originally belonged to Bai Youheng actually flew towards Wei Changtian and circled above the latter, a hint of fear appeared in his boundless anger.
It is obvious that Wei Changtian can plunder their destiny.
Therefore, his identity is definitely not just the only son of the Wei family, and he must be hiding more unknown secrets. Thinking of this, the anger in his eyes slowly faded away, and then disappeared completely.
Just when things were about to develop in an uncontrollable direction, Ning Yongnian actually regained his rationality.
"Wei Changtian, you are very good"
Taking a deep breath, he waved his hand to stop the soldiers around him from moving, his tone calm and cold.
"But you are right. I am taking advantage of you by trading two for one."
"And since Bai Youheng is dead, this is a one-for-one exchange."
"Return Wu Ding to me, and I will hand Li Wutong over to you."
"how?"
"Nothing."
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian did not hesitate at all.
He looked at Ning Yongnian as if he were a fool, squinting and sneering, "Ning Yongnian, you just said that you have a hundred thousand troops in Huailing City."
"And I'm not stupid, so how could I just hand him over like that?"
"So what do you want?"
Ning Yongnian's expression remained unchanged: "But you don't want to make this deal anymore?"
"It still has to be done."
Wei Changtian picked up Wu Ding like a dead dog and said, "But I have to go outside the city first."
"Now, tell your people to get out of my way!"
“.”
The spear points forward and the crossbow is drawn to full strength.
When they heard Wei Changtian's request, the atmosphere around them immediately became tense, and thousands of soldiers were ready for battle in an instant.
Even the second-rank general who was previously preparing for military affairs rushed to the scene and stood silently behind Ning Yongnian, one on the left and one on the right with Li Huaizhong.
It is obvious that Wei Changtian wanted to use Wu Ding as a hostage to "break out of the siege" and then make an exchange.
And if Ning Yongnian really agreed, he would suffer a huge loss today.
Not only was Li Qi rescued, but Li Wutong was replaced and Bai Youheng died.
Even Wu Ding, who managed to survive, was seriously injured. Not only was it unknown when he would recover, but he would definitely suffer from many serious hidden diseases.
Therefore, in the eyes of Li Huaizhong and others, giving up Wu Ding and trying to kill Wei Changtian with all their strength is the right choice.
After all, although the latter had just accomplished the feat of "one against three", anyone could see that his strength was actually only equivalent to that of an ordinary second-grade.
In addition, Wei Changtian is obviously unable to use that strange milky white palm print now, and it is highly likely that he does not have the ability to instantly kill a second-grade cultivator. Otherwise, why didn't he kill Li Huaizhong as well? Therefore, in this case, the advantage of his side is actually extremely huge.
Not only are there three second-rank soldiers and thousands of soldiers, but there will also be a steady stream of reinforcements if a real fight breaks out.
Such an opportunity is rare. If we don't kill Wei Changtian now, when will we do it ?
The continuous sound of swords being drawn was slow and dull, and the light spots reflected by arrows, gun tips, and long swords were densely packed.
At that moment, everyone was ready, waiting for Ning Yongnian's order to rush forward and cut Wei Changtian into pieces.
Li Wutong also realized this, and his whole body was trembling slightly at this moment.
Even the people watching Huailing seemed to understand something. They all opened their eyes wide and held their breath.
However, at this critical moment, Ning Yongnian gave an unexpected answer.
"Okay, I promise you."
"Make way, let him out of the city!"
In fact, if we don’t look at it from a God’s perspective, Li Huaizhong and others’ ideas are not wrong.
But Ning Yongnian thought more.
Not to mention whether Qin Zhengqiu and Monk Huian, who have already disappeared, will make a comeback, the fact that Wei Changtian dared to be surrounded alone is enough to make people worried.
All that happened before has shown that Wei Changtian is by no means a stupid playboy.
Therefore, since he dared to come, he must have a way to escape.
However, this method might require some price, or might not be 100% successful, so Wei Changtian wanted to take Wu Ding as a hostage in an attempt to get away with it in a simpler way.
Therefore, even if Wu Ding was given up, it would probably be difficult to kill Wei Changtian.
But he would definitely lose a great general.
At this moment, Ning Yongnian did not want his forces to suffer any major losses.
Therefore, after some hesitation, he decided to let Wei Changtian leave the city.
“.”
"Okay, you know what's best for you."
After looking at Ning Yongnian from a distance, Wei Changtian said something and then carried Wu Ding to the side of the execution ground.
Wherever he went, both soldiers and civilians made way for him to pass through, but their expressions were completely different.
The soldiers holding various weapons were all nervous and looked grim, fearing that Wei Changtian would suddenly attack again.
The people all looked excited, and some even knelt down on the side of the road, as if they were thanking Wei Changtian for everything he had just done.
Some people see themselves as mortal enemies, while others see themselves as heroes.
However, Wei Changtian, who was under two different gazes, did not look at anyone. He just walked neither fast nor slow. The blood from Wu Ding's body left a long bloodstain on the snow behind him.
In many film and television works of previous lives, the hero’s back can be handsome, shocking, inspiring, and unswerving.
It can even be lonely, isolated, and tragic.
However, at this moment, Wei Changtian's lonely back gave many people a feeling of fear.
It looks like a hungry wolf, scary and ferocious.
