Chapter 232 Trap
“Wow!”
A beam of light rose up in the east city, rushed straight into the sky, and crashed into the clouds.
Then, the second one, the third one...
Beams of light rise from different directions, illuminating the East City.
…
Li Weiyi stepped back. The first layer of his magic weapon armor had been torn to pieces, and his cheeks and hands exposed outside the armor were covered with sword and blood marks.
In contrast, Jiang Ning's whole body was neat and flawless.
Eight against one, still hard to beat.
He raised his sword and looked at the beams of light that suddenly rose in the distance. He was slightly distracted, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger.
Logically speaking, Qi Xiao and Shi Shishi had been gone for a long time, and they should have found Zuoqiu Ting... Zuoqiu Hongting in East City long ago!
But Zuoqiu Hongting hasn't arrived yet, which is too abnormal.
Jiang Ning used the "Palaces and Towers" and "Wings" combat methods to repel the seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings, and forced Li Weiyi into the shadow of the corner with a sword: "I admit that you and the seven little ones are very strong together. If I want to kill you, I will have to pay a heavy price. However, the current attack power of the seven little ones can threaten me, but it can never threaten Ge Xiantong."
"What if their combat power is increased by one level? For example, they all reach the level of Qi Xiao, Chen Wenwu and others." Li Weiyi said.
Jiang Ning couldn't imagine what kind of combat power the seven pure immortal bodies of the Seventh Sea would have when they joined forces. Even she would probably have to retreat. Because the seven Phoenix Wing Moth Kings were more tenacious and more difficult to injure.
If there really were seven such helpers, things would be completely different!
She hesitated: "Are you sure you can raise them to that level within three days?"
"It should be possible." Li Weiyi said.
Jiang Ning suddenly sighed, "It's too late. The light column has already risen. I won't hide it from you anymore... The south is a dead end. If you hope to escape back to the South City and use the power of the Jiuli tribe and Zuoqiumen to fight against Ge Xiantong, you will die."
"You don't have three days!"
"What do you mean?" Li Weiyi asked.
Jiang Ning said: "Tonight, it is not the imperial court, the Far West Ashes Region, and the Snow Sword Tang Court that attack the Thunder Sky Sect and the Dragon Gate, but the five major forces that join forces to destroy the Zuoqiu Sect."
"Longmen pretended to be defeated, Leixiao Sect defended and broke the defense, all of which were part of the plan."
Like a thunderbolt in a clear sky.
Li Weiyi's face turned pale with anger, and he was worried about Li Ling, Yin Jiu, Shi Shishi and the others. "Is it because Zuoqiu Sect has the support of Jiuli Clan and Zhu Clan, and has the advantage of being at home, so you joined forces to deal with them first?"
“Bang!”
The two kept changing their moves and positions.
Jiang Ning wanted to convince him, so he patiently asked, "Why is the Qianlong Lantern Society in Qiuzhou City? Why is Zuoqiu Menting willing to use Qiuzhou City as a battlefield?"
"Because this Qianlong Lantern Festival is not a competition among many heroes, but is held for Zuoqiu Hongting alone. At least that was the case at the beginning!"
"Of the three young emperors, Ge Xiantong belongs to the imperial court, Luan Sheng and Lin You belong to the Far West Ashes Region. None of them is the latent dragon that Du'e Temple is looking for."
"Zuoqiu Hongting can only get the support of Du'e Temple if she proves her ability at the Qianlong Lantern Festival and completes this trial. As for what level she needs to reach to be recognized, only Du'e Temple itself knows."
"Among the others, some are troublemakers, some want to become famous, some come for the rewards, and some want to defeat Zuoqiu Hongting and make Du'e Temple support them."
"Now you understand why I opposed your participation in the Qianlong Lantern Festival from the beginning. I don't want you to be used by Zuoqiu Hongting and become a pawn on her road to becoming the emperor."
Li Weiyi said: "Zuoqiu Ting is still very charismatic! If she wants to use me, it will be even more difficult for me to refuse her with my identity as Zuoqiu Hongting."
"Besides, with my strength when I participated in the Qianlong Lantern Festival, how could I be qualified to be used by her? No! Luan Shenglinyou, Tang Wanqiu, Ge Xiantong, and even you have come to Dongcheng, and Yuwen Tuozhen and others are indeed killing Longmen martial artists. In order to lure Zuoqiu Hongting into a trap, you are not afraid of your headquarters being taken down at all?"
Jiang Ning said: "Among the five forces, no more than ten people know about this plan, so the people below are naturally fighting and killing each other."
"If we can't be sincere enough, if we don't come out in full force, if we don't pay a price, how could Zuoqiu Hongting, who knows Qiuzhou City like the back of her hand, fall for it?"
"On New Year's Eve, we wanted to defeat her directly, but she held on! Each faction had its own ulterior motives, conflicts and little thoughts, and she took advantage of this and gradually gained power."
Li Weiyi said, "If you can lure her into attacking first, you can tie all five forces to the chariot, and no one can try to be sneaky and hinder each other. If Longmen and Leixiao Sect still want to stay out of it, then they will lose their defensive bases and may be wiped out by you tonight. This is not five against one, but six parties are playing a game."
"Only when everyone loses their stronghold and has no way out can they unite for a short period of time."
Jiang Ning stared at him deeply: "No matter what, the light column rises, and the signal for the whole city to attack Zuoqiumen has been sent. South City will be a sea of blood and corpses tonight. If Zuoqiumen can hold out until dawn, it will be amazing!"
Li Weiyi said faintly: "Perhaps you still underestimated Zuoqiu Hongting."
Since Qi Xiao and Shi Shishi did not find Zuo Qiu Hongting to rescue him, it means that Zuo Qiu Hongting had already noticed that something was wrong and might have rushed back to South City.
A tall figure in black stood with his back against the wall in the shadow under the eaves only ten feet away from the two of them. He blended completely into the darkness and there was no trace of any aura on his body.
"There are two people in the court who are watching you. One is Feng Yin, the strongest man in Fengzhou, whose speed is only slightly slower than mine. The other is Zhen Yuyan, a master of the Imperial Palace who learned from a transcendent master and is proficient in tracking."
"They won't attack you, but they will follow you until Ge Xiantong arrives tomorrow morning."
Jiang Ning knew that his plan had failed and that he could not seriously injure him, so he prepared to let him go.
Because she believed that after knowing that Zuoqiumen and Jiuli tribe were doomed, Li Weiyi had no choice but to withdraw from the Qianlong Lantern Festival.
"The torrent of this turbulent world is rolling forward. You can't stop it either!"
Jiang Ning put away his sword and returned to his ancestral field.
In the darkness under the eaves ten feet away, the tall figure smiled slightly, quickly dodged, and stared at the two who stopped fighting. He drew a circle with his right hand, and the air seemed to turn into liquid, with circles of ripples appearing.
Then a large, extremely dazzling hidden weapon shot out from his sleeves, like a ball of flame, flying out from the circular ripples.
As the flame flew out, it made a crackling sound.
Upon closer inspection, one can see countless scales of fire, like sparks filling the sky, moving as fast as meteors.
"Golden scale fire rain."
Jiang Ning's eyes changed in shock and he shouted loudly.
In a hurry, there was no time to release the dragon soul and the battle method. He could only form seals with his hands and use the magic energy to support a thick defensive barrier.
Li Weiyi pulled out the ghost flag and strode forward, spinning rapidly, using the flag as a shield to form a vortex.
The golden scale fire rain was not only fast, but also had terrifying penetrating power. It pierced through Jiang Ning's magic barrier and the ghost flag held up by Li Weiyi and fell on them.
“Bang bang!”
Jiang Ning was wearing the official robes of the governor, while Li Weiyi was wearing corpse armor and two sets of magic weapon battle robes.
The two men retreated backwards, both suffering only minor injuries.
Li Weiyi's two magical armors were completely destroyed, with several holes pierced through them. He immediately activated the blood mist and blood-colored scriptures in the soft armor of the corpse armor to protect his body, and looked around.
Jiang Ning swung his sword at the shadow under the eaves, but the attacker had already left.
“Swish! Swish…”
The sounds of breaking wind were heard one after another.
Seven figures rushed over from seven different directions, each with an expressionless face and eyes burning with flames.
"It's the dead ember among the ember spirits..."
Jiang Ning reminded.
"boom!"
One of the figures, who was still far away, was hit by Jiang Ning's sword and exploded into sparks, covering an area of ten feet in radius.
All matter within ten feet was destroyed into dust, turning into a small area of ash.
The light veils of the formation on the buildings on both sides of the street were worn away, and sparks rushed in. The buildings collapsed and burned in ashes.
Jiang Ning and Li Weiyi used their skills to quickly dodge.
“Boom!”
The other six dead ashes surrounded them and turned into six balls of fire.
The flames turned into dust and sparks, destroying everything nearby.
"Bang! Bang!"
The two men rushed out from the dust and sparks, fell to the ground, and each spat out blood.
Jiang Ning was more seriously injured than Li Weiyi.
Earlier in the flames, she stood in front and used the governor's robe to resist.
"How about it?"
Li Weiyi climbed up, crouched down, and looked around with great vigilance. He waved his hand, and seven phoenix-winged moth kings rose into the air, looking for traces of the attacker.
Jiang Ning suppressed his injury and said, "It's okay!"
"See? Your cooperation is full of holes. If you get the slightest chance, you will do whatever it takes to kill your allies."
"Da Feng found him! Just hand him over to me. We can't have any more contact, otherwise you won't be able to explain when you go back!"
Li Weiyi said this, stepped on the dragon shadow, and appeared on the top of the eaves more than ten feet away.
He stretched out a hand, gathered seven phoenix-winged moth kings, and chased them into the night.
Feng Yin and Zhen Yuyan each used their own skills to rush to Jiang Ning's side, one in front and one behind.
"It's fine with me! You have your tasks, go ahead!" Jiang Ning said.
The two top-notch masters of the imperial court clasped their fists in salute and chased after Li Weiyi.
…
…………
The dragon's roar resounded through the night sky, one after another, loud and extremely loud.
Li Weiyi's heart sank, and he accelerated to the extreme, catching up with the tall black-clothed figure on the inner city wall. The black-clothed figure wore a mask and took out a two-foot-long wooden stick.
“Bang bang!”
With a sword and a stick, two figures fought fiercely on the city wall.
It was much more intense than the previous fight with Jiang Ning, full of murderous intent and fighting spirit. Li Weiyi used all his strength in every strike, trying not to kill him.
Seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings traveled with Li Weiyi. They did not attack, but were only responsible for preventing the black-clothed figure from escaping.
Seizing the opportunity, Li Weiyi gathered his strength and released five battle tactics and divine shadows. At the same time, five Li Weiyis appeared, and they slashed through the sea with a powerful sword.
The black-clad figure opposite suddenly changed his expression and did not care about revealing his identity.
He raised the stick in his hand above his head, and a mysterious force was released, pulling down a wisp of the dark clouds hundreds of meters high, like a tornado connecting the sky and the earth.
Scriptures appeared on the stick, and when it was swung, a vast cloud of mist surged out.
“Wow!”
The Huanglong Sword cut through the clouds and mist and collided with the wooden stick.
A sword energy rushed forward, and with a snap, it cut off the mask on the black-clothed figure's face, leaving a line of blood on his handsome face.
The black figure turned and walked away, leaping off the wall and disappearing into the darkness.
"Is it Dragon Court?"
After a quick glance just now, Li Weiyi couldn't be sure.
But what is certain is that the man's face was cut with a bloody line, not sparks from beneath the skin, and it is definitely not a Cinder Spirit. If Long Ting had not turned into a Cinder Spirit...
Then why did he want to kill Zhu Huan?
Li Weiyi let out a long breath and turned around.
Feng Yin and Zhen Yuyan appeared one after another.
