Minglong

Chapter 64 Ghost hits the wall

Wow~
More than ten people who came from Mudanchi swam to the vicinity of the building ship and found that the earth-shaking noise had stopped abruptly. Everyone was stunned.

Linghu Qingmo floated in the water, looking anxiously at the suddenly silent ship tower:

"Why is there no movement?"

Princess Changning floated in front of him, her brows furrowed.
"I guess the fight is over."

"Who's winning?"

"I'm not sure. If the demon bandits won, they would have definitely escaped. If Xie Jinhuan won, we'd be in big trouble."

Everyone obviously realized the seriousness of the problem.

But they didn't know the situation on the ship, and they couldn't leave quietly. What if Xie Jinhuan was seriously injured and could be rescued?

Lin Wanyi wanted to go up and take a look, but she was a witch and didn't dare to act rashly on the boat. She could only ask:

"How to do?"

Princess Changning wanted to use her martial arts skills to take a look, but before she could even get on board, she saw a coal ball swooping down from the sky and landing on the top of the ship's tower, looking down.

"Gujiguji~"

Boom——

This was like stepping on dynamite. The ship's tower roared immediately, and a figure soared into the sky and landed on the bare beam. He first looked at the big bird, then glanced around, and then said:

Eye to eye!

The entire river surface fell silent!

Lin Wanyi was soaking in the water when she noticed Xie Jinhuan above her, her eyes full of excitement and desire. She wanted to make her roll her eyes right there, and her heart skipped a beat:
"No, run away!"

Boom——

The next moment, a sharp sound of breaking wind was heard from above the ship's tower, mixed with the clear and melodious Daqian elegant voice:

"You ugly bastard, how dare you scare me!"

More than ten people, each holding a knife or weapon, rushed out of the water and scattered, running away desperately.

slam-la-

Lin Wanyi was disheartened and thought that Xie Jinhuan would catch her and humiliate her, but after running a short distance, she realized that she was not that attractive after all.

When he looked over, he found that Xie Jinhuan, who was full of murderous intent, completely ignored Linghu Qingmo, Liu Qingzhi and others whose faces were pale with fear, and directly chased in the direction of Princess Changning.

? !
Everyone was shocked when they saw this and immediately wanted to go over to help.

Princess Changning also drew her two swords from her waist. She was completely stunned and hurriedly said as she tried to escape:
"Why is he chasing me? How did I scare him?"

As the trusted lackey, the butler Hou followed closely behind him, his sly eyes flickered:
"Xie Jinhuan thought His Highness was ugly and frightened him."

"Yeah?!"

Liu Qingzhi and the ten royal guards were terrified and shouted angrily from a distance:

"Butler Hou, don't stand in front of the princess, she's coming for you!"

"Ah?! Is this damn brat blind..."

Although Butler Hou was displeased, he also understood that Xie Jinhuan had poor eyesight and mistook him for an ugly monster, so he immediately broke away from Princess Changning and flew towards the river.

And sure enough!
Xie Jinhuan was frightened just now, and now when he saw that terrifying face again, he was filled with murderous intent. He turned around and chased after Butler Hou, shouting as he chased:

"How dare you scare me! I wonder where you can run today!"

"When did this old man scare you?!"

Butler Hou used his two legs as if they were four, galloping across the river without caring about his life, and even turning his head to make noises.

Seeing this, the other ten or so people turned around at the same time and chased after Xie Jinhuan to try to separate them.

But Xie Jinhuan's explosive power was terrifying. At this moment, he was like a madman. In the blink of an eye, he threw them dozens of feet away and caught up with Butler Hou.

Seeing her trusted lackeys being slaughtered, Princess Changning held two swords in her hands, her eyes full of anxiety, but she could do nothing.

But fortunately, ugly people have good fortune, and there is someone who can help out here!
Xie Jinhuan was chasing at full speed, scaring Butler Hou so much that he screamed, and suddenly he found that the figure that was so close to him had disappeared!

Then, a sixteen-foot-tall, peerless chariot appeared not far to the side, carrying a red umbrella and looking provocatively:

"You little brat, aren't you going to make me cry? Come on~"

After saying that, she revealed her plump, white, long legs, and her hips swayed like a pendulum!

Damn it? ! !

How could Xie Jinhuan bear this? He rushed towards the ghost wife like a mad dog with his sword in hand.

Rumbling--

Housekeeper Hou felt that he was about to die, and was lamenting that 'beautiful women have always been short-lived', when he noticed that Xie Jinhuan suddenly turned and rushed to the deserted river. He was stunned:
"That's right, I knew this kid had bad eyesight and was wrong."

woohoo-

Xie Jinhuan was running incredibly fast, but he was just making big circles on the deserted river surface.

Lin Wanyi and the others were all bewildered upon seeing this. After a moment of fear, they made sure the threat was gone before returning to the water and floating in the water to observe.

"What's up with him?"

Linghu Qingmo also couldn't understand, and thought for a moment:

"I guess it's because he was trapped in a ghost wall and got possessed by the witch cult monster."

Princess Changning felt a bit like her and turned to look at the ship:

"Go to the boat first, and save as many people as you can!"

Seeing this, everyone quickly retreated to the tower ship.

Linghu Qingmo and Lin Wanyi were worried about Xie Jinhuan's injury and did not dare to stay too far away.

The support from the city was not too slow. After a while, hundreds of black-armored soldiers arrived at the riverside and rushed towards the ship tower.

After a while, there was another strong sound of breaking wind from downstream, and a white wave cut through the surface of the river and rushed towards this side!

Linghu Qingmo took a quick look and his eyes were suddenly filled with surprise:
"It's Mr. Li Jing!"

Lin Wanyi felt relieved and said quickly:
"Mr. Li! Xie Jinhuan ate the Dao Level Boosting Pill. Knock him out!"

"what!?"

As the first person to test the medicine, Li Jing knew the horror of the pill and flew over to the nearby area:

“How many people died?!”

"The demon pirates should all be dead, and the people on the boat are probably in danger too. Why did Elder Li come here just now?"

"Something went wrong at Danwang Pavilion, and they were lured away. Fortunately, the casualties weren't too great."

Li Jing looked at Xie Jinhuan who was drawing circles. Although he didn't understand what was going on, he still approached quietly and prepared to knock him out.

But unfortunately, when he was still more than ten feet away, Xie Jinhuan suddenly woke up, looked around, and then turned to look at him, and uttered a clear and loud voice: "You old fool, how dare you take my book!"

After saying that, a sword came from the west, like a flying fairy!

Li Jing tested the medicine on himself and scolded Master Mu in the same way. He did not mind at all and explained to the younger generation behind him:

"This is because he's been drugged. He curses everyone he sees, without any personal grudges."

The butler, who loyally protected the princess, nodded repeatedly:
"Mr. Li is right. This person is not in his right mind and is talking nonsense."

"is it?"

Lin Wanyi and the others were a little skeptical. After all, Xie Jinhuan didn't scold anyone else. They thought to themselves:

It seems that this 'Dao Xing Rapid Increase Pill' is not completely deranged. At least it knows the hatred level and will first slaughter the opponent and then rape and destroy the teammates...

It's a pity that the pill that increases power has extremely serious side effects. I can't take it a second time in a short period of time. All in all, it's still "Perilla products are bound to be waste"...

As the vice-president of Danyang Academy, Li Jing is a genuine first-class martial artist. Even if Xie Jinhuan's skills were doubled, it would be difficult for him to be injured by mistake.

The moment the two sides got close to each other, Li Jing blocked Qing Feng with his scabbard, and pointed his left hand at his chest with lightning speed.

thump~
Xie Jinhuan, with a frenzied look in his eyes, immediately fell towards the water...
-
Inside the city, Danwang Pavilion.

The signal for help was sent out, and many masters in Danyang returned one after another.

Upon discovering that the evil spirit rising from upstream had subsided, Dan Wang breathed a sigh of relief. However, the news of casualties had not yet been reported back, so he was still pacing back and forth, anxiously waiting.

Xu Hunli, the director of the Military Academy, opened the top of the Bagua platform and went inside to examine the extremely complicated mechanisms and array patterns, muttering to himself:

"Someone has jammed the universal wheel, causing the formation to have difficulty operating normally. Formation equipment is ultimately inert, and no matter how valuable it is, you cannot blindly trust it. If you encounter any unexpected problems in the future, remember to verify it with multiple sources first."

Zhu Wenyuan also realized that there was a traitor in the palace, but there were many retainers and servants who had access to the Eight Directions Transparent Array, so it was not easy to find out. At this time, he stood by and observed with a folding fan in his hand:
"The Eight Directions Transparent Array has never had any problems before. The bloody evil energy from Purple Emblem Mountain the other day was the first warning from this array. No one expected that at such a critical moment, someone would use a feint to the east and attack in the west to lure the enemy away from the mountain. We are but mortals, and our six senses are far inferior to those of the Eight Directions Transparent Array. If we want to conduct multiple inspections, we must first rush to Danyun Pass, which may delay military operations..."

Xu Hunli fixed the stuck probe and stroked his beard:

"That's easy. I've added a layer of restriction to this formation. When it changes its pattern, it must first identify the user's aura to confirm their identity. It can also automatically sound an alarm if it operates abnormally. The Eight Directions Radiant Tower in the capital has this restriction."

This is obviously a good idea.

But the downside is that Xu Hunli was invited to "upgrade" the Eight Directions Tower in the capital and received a labor fee of 30,000 taels.

"The Eight-Directional Illumination Formation is simpler than the Mother Formation. If I were to ask Mr. Xu to add some restrictions..."

"Eh."

Xu Hunli raised his hand and said earnestly:
"The core structure of the mother-child formation is the same, and the knowledge used is the same, so the price is naturally the same. However, considering Mr. Zhu's long-term care for the academy, I can reluctantly give you a 10% discount."

Zhu Wenyuan's face turned green when he heard this, and he wanted to curse:
"You old man, you're obsessed with money, aren't you? You just took tens of thousands of taels of silver with a simple move, and you still bear the pain?"

But the Dan King was ultimately a high-ranking official. Although he felt Xu Hunli's asking price was too high, as one of Daqian's most prestigious weapon refiners, his reliability was impeccable. After a moment's deliberation, he finally interjected:

"Since there is a loophole, we must fill it. If a monster really does wreak havoc on the town, and the palace misjudges it, the losses will be far more than tens of thousands of taels of silver."

Xu Hunli had gotten the project payment by tricking people into giving him money, so he was naturally delighted:
"Your Highness truly loves his people like his own children. I will go back and prepare. The formation will be complete within seven days..."

While several people were talking, Dianjun Tie Fengzhang jumped in from the window.

When the Dan King saw Dasha Zhang coming back, he was immediately filled with anger:

"Did you die out there? As a general, why are you running back now after such a big incident?"

As a loyal confidant, Tie Fengzhang certainly had no complaints when being scolded, and he quickly bowed:
"Your Highness, calm down! I just went to Huaijiang Bay and returned only after seeing the demon bandits were annihilated."

Dan Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked anxiously:

"What are the casualties? Did they rescue Xie Jinhuan?"

"Uh……"

Tie Fengzhang's expression was a little strange:
"Master Xie probably didn't need anyone to rescue him. Seeing that there were no experts in the city to help and no one in the Peony Pond, he rushed in alone and killed all the demon bandits on the boat."

"what?!"

The Dan King looked stunned.

Zhu Wenyuan and Xu Hunli were also stunned.

Zhu Wenyuan said in disbelief, "That bloody aura just now, although not a demonic one, was still above the third rank. Did Xie Jinhuan kill them all by himself?"

Tie Fengzhang's eyes were filled with amazement: "When I arrived nearby, I found that the giant treasure ship had been smashed to pieces. I thought it was Li Jing who did it. After asking the soldiers, I found out that it was Xie Jinhuan.

"I heard from her confidante, Doctor Lin, that Xie Jinhuan, in order to save the civilians on the ship, took the 'Dao Xing Explosive Pill'. She couldn't stop crying, and before leaving, she only said, 'If I don't come back, please tell my father that I didn't bring shame upon him.'"

When the Dan King heard this, he clenched his fists and was almost moved to tears:

"A loyal father and a valiant son, truly a family full of heroes!"

Zhu Wenyuan sighed with regret, "The disadvantages of the Dao Power Boosting Pill far outweigh the advantages. If you take it, you'll lose all sense of friend and foe and fight to the death alone. If Xie Jinhuan can't kill the enemy, he won't even have a chance to retreat. He's determined to die, ready to sacrifice his life for justice! Even if he wins, it's probably a pyrrhic victory."

Dan Wang's heart tightened, and he took two steps forward:

"How is Jinhuan's injury?"

"There's a red wound on his chest, and internal injuries to his lungs. His qi, meridians, and muscles have been severely squeezed, leaving no part of his body unharmed. However, of the five hundred or so civilians on board, half are still breathing and are being rescued. None of the other soldiers, officers, or civilians were injured or killed.

"If Xie Jinhuan hadn't bravely stepped forward to block the attack, the demonic bandits would have likely slaughtered the ships with blood sacrifices and escaped before the large group of warriors arrived."

Snapped--

Dan Wang slammed his right fist into his palm, paced back and forth twice, his eyes excited:
"Quick! Find me the best doctor and the best elixir. If you, such a loyal and righteous man, leave even the slightest injury, I will skin you alive!"

"Yes!"

As the military commander of the royal palace, Tie Fengzhang was responsible for the chaos in Danzhou.

Xie Jinhuan left the rebellious bandits behind to minimize the losses. He now wanted to kowtow to Xie Jinhuan and immediately took the order and ran away.

Xu Hunli listened to what happened and stroked his beard with emotion:

"Such a loyal and capable general is hard to find even with a lantern. If Xie Jinhuan had been wearing the 'Ice Scale Armor' that I personally crafted today, why would he have been injured like this?"

Ice Scale Armor is a soft armor made of ice soul silk. It is a third-grade magic weapon with a market price of six thousand taels, which is not too expensive.

But Xu Hunli is a master in the Daqian weapon refining world. The ice scale armor he makes personally usually has a grade one or two higher. He makes one armor tailor-made for each person, and the labor cost is more than six thousand taels.

But the Dan King was so excited that he didn't even think about spending money. He waved his hand and said:
"A reward. A good horse deserves a good saddle, but how can a thousand-mile horse deserve a piece of cloth?"

"As they say, a sword is a gift to a hero; armor without weapons is useless..."

"reward!"

"saying……"

"Mr. Xu!"

Zhu Wenyuan also felt that Xie Jinhuan deserved a generous reward, but if Xu Hunli, the 'gold medal broker of the academy', didn't persuade him, he would be able to deceive the hot-blooded Dan King. She quickly stepped forward and pushed his shoulder:

"The monsters haven't been eradicated yet, so the Eight Directions Array must be in place as soon as possible. Elder Xu, please return to the academy to make arrangements. I'll have someone deliver the silver to the academy tomorrow."

Xu Hunli was still unsatisfied and wanted to say more, but was unfortunately pushed out...
