After being reborn, he became cinnabar in the heart of Quanxianmen

Dingcheng.

The young soldier carried Duanmujian on his back and ran along the city wall with Lu Ran, trying to find a place on the city wall closest to the origin of the monster.

Lu Ran followed behind the two, while running as hard as he could, looking at the city through the gap between the battlements.Even though winter has not passed yet, the roiling heat waves are churning in the air.

Although the three of them tried their best to hide, in fact, there was not much shelter on the top of the city wall.A few trolls covered in flames sensed the movement on the city wall, and slowly turned around, looking at the running crowd with their dark eyes.

An extraordinarily large troll that was almost as high as the city wall stood in front of it, and it swept towards it with a pillar-like palm, spitting out raging flames from its mouth.

The young soldier was frightened, Lu Ran pushed him from behind: "Don't stop, just rush over!"

The soldiers subconsciously obeyed the order and ran faster, flying towards the fingers that stood like an ancient troll forest.Just as he was about to hit Lie Yan directly, Duanmu Jian stretched out his legs on his back and crossed them.

The soldier tripped, and the two rolled to the ground, dodging the troll's flailing fingers.Lu Ran was next to them with a sliding shovel, and a beam of fire almost brushed the side and skipped over his head.

The three stood up quickly and continued to run forward.The soldier endured and endured, but in the end he still couldn't digest the fact that he was thrown down by a girl like a fairy, and tried to win his respect: "Next time you two tell me in advance, I can react..."

Duanmu Jian slammed his head down from behind, and Lu Ran tried his best to cast a thin green wood spirit shield. A fireball that almost hit the soldier's head was blocked by the shield, deviated from the path, and landed heavily on the ground. At the soldier's feet, a deep hole was knocked out.

"Okay, next time." Lu Ran quickly passed the two of them, and replied casually.

Young soldier: "..."

The expression on Lu Ran's face was far less relaxed than his tone.More trolls sensed the aura of strangers and gathered in their direction, and the fire beam attacks came one after another.

The transpiration heat wave makes the air heat up rapidly, making the respiratory tract as uncomfortable as burning.If this continues, let alone running forward while avoiding attacks, they will be unable to move an inch at all.

Duanmu Jian had reached the point where he could smelt the spiritual veins in his body to cast spells, and it was impossible to transform a road from the outside of the city wall.Tong Xing's soldiers were exhausted carrying Duanmu Jian on their backs. If they chose to charge by force, Lu Ran was not sure that they would be able to save him at the last moment every time.

Just as he was anxiously thinking about the countermeasures, he suddenly found to his surprise——the monster started to turn around!

Hei Dongdong's gaze skipped over the three of them, with angry fire in his nostrils, he turned and walked in another direction.

Lu Ran hurriedly turned his head.On the other side of the city wall, the wounded soldiers did not evacuate, but under the leadership of the adjutant, they danced and danced. Bangbang knocked on the sword in his hand and shouted provocatively, trying to attract the attention of the monster and try to drive the monster away from them. Lead away here!

The troll's attention was successfully drawn away by them.

The way forward for the three of them was opened.

Panting heavily, the young soldier ran as hard as he could.Standing on the city wall, one can clearly see that the ground has been melted through, revealing a deep cave.There is billowing magma flowing below the cave, and the strange and frightening flame monster crawls out of the magma and pours into the human world along the cave on the ground.

Lu Ran looked at the center of the swamp and calculated the distance.Duanmujian patted the soldier's shoulder: "It's right here."

The soldiers put her on the ground.Lu Ran supported Duanmu Jian instead of him, and said to the soldiers: "Do you have a rope on your body? Now go down to the city immediately, and we will take care of the rest."

The young soldier stuck his neck and said in a rough voice: "No, I want to stay, I can still help."

Lu Ran looked over the soldier's shoulder and exchanged a glance with Duanmujian.Duanmujian suddenly showed a surprised expression on his face, pointed behind him and shouted: "What is that behind you?"

The soldier turned around in a daze.

With a bang, a ruler and a copper lamp hit the back of his head at the same time.The soldier fainted on the spot.

Lu Ran: "..."

Duanmujian: "..."

What I mean is, of course, you are responsible for attracting his attention, and I am responsible for knocking him out.Why is there no tacit understanding at all?

Lu Ran immediately pre-empted the attack, accusing with righteous indignation: "Sneak attack from behind, where's your martial virtue?"

Duanmujian touched the soldier's neck tremblingly: "Is it possible that the two of us smashed him to death?"

Fortunately, the soldier was stunned only briefly, and soon woke up.Two non-martial arts monks pretended not to see his frightened eyes, and tied him up as if nothing had happened.He was sent down the city wall with a rope, and was safely transported outside the city.

Lu Ran turned into a copper lamp and stood on the battlements, slowly condensing the power surging in his soul.The nearby monsters were attracted by the smell of people, stood under the city wall and kept raising their heads and screaming, but they dared not approach casually due to the deterrence of the magic lamp.

The Duanmu family hid under the battlements not far from the platform, carefully hiding their traces.Looking back at the scene under the platform, I felt envious in my heart, and said casually, "How much did you pay for this lamp? I will spend wildly when I go back, buying a dozen or twenty of them."

Lu Ran's soul power was all focused on controlling the soul lamp, and he was in no mood to joke with her.He carefully controlled the soul lamp, while pulling the troll's attention, he tried his best to prevent his soul power from getting out of control and losing consciousness again.

He felt like fat bait on a fishhook now, and there were piranhas bouncing around under the lure.If he gets bitten, no one is responsible for pulling him up again.

Duanmujian also stopped talking and released the magic weapon.Through the gaps in the battlements, she carefully observed the location of the monsters in the city, concentrating on manipulating the ruler made of yellow emerald.Beads of sweat covered Yingying's forehead.

The magic weapon carried the gunpowder box inconspicuously, and twisted and turned between the thick lower limbs of the monsters, looking for the coordinates of the center of the enchantment breach.

The monsters let out low growls in their throats, like a lingering nightmare.Above their heads, bright lights emanated from the copper lamp in Lu Ran's hand, spreading out layer by layer, like a gentle tide of light.

At the moment when all the eyes of the monsters turned to the copper lamp, the small magic weapon brushed against the soles of their feet and flew over quietly.

------------------

Demon domain.

In the Heavenly Demon Palace, the Heart Demon remained silent, and the Blood Demon seemed to have shielded the Balrog.The phantom is still hesitating, trying to have both sides, and the arrogant laughter of the Balrog is still echoing resoundingly:

"Half an hour has passed. Yimo, tell me, is there any movement in Xianmeng?"

"Those brainless monsters in the world have sent back a message. It seems that there are a few monks in the city who are trying to block their steps. Guess how many people there are?

"Two! The Immortal Alliance sent two people over to stop my Flame Demon army!"

The Balrog stared arrogantly in the direction of the Profound Shadow Palace through the water mirror:

"Wing Demon, tell me. How will two half-dead monks counterattack the Demon Realm?"

In Xuanying Hall, You Guihu's heart suddenly sank as the Flame Demon wished.

two?No matter how fast Kunwu's reinforcements traveled, they shouldn't have arrived in Dingcheng at this time.It shouldn't be just two people.

Could it be Lu Ran and the others?They hadn't been notified to evacuate?Are they still in the city?Why only two people?Where did the other two go?

He closes his eyes.Distraction, who had smuggled into the world, quickly flapped its wings and flew towards the Western Regions at high speed.

------------------

Kun Wu.

The formation carved on the ground has been completed.Completing such a complex and precise formation in such a short period of time consumes a lot of spiritual power.Several formation repairers who set up the formation wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and in one go, they integrated all the spiritual power in their bodies into the formation.

The magic circle drawn on the ground by precious materials such as mica, placer gold and coral seems to come alive.The pure spiritual power breaks away from the shackles of the material, and gently rises.The complex patterns floated in the air, shining like fireflies, and began to rotate in layers in an orderly manner like a star wheel orbiting.

The array cultivators let out a long sigh of relief.Standing aside, the incredibly beautiful and dumb Qixiu raised his hand at a constant speed like a marionette, and his slender fingers, neatly wrapped with metal chains, made a dry gesture that seemed to be clapping.

Jian Qing stood in the center of the magic circle, holding a sharp and slender long sword in his left hand, which looked like it could break if broken.A flowing magic circle surrounded him, and a bitter frosty aura quickly gathered around him.

------------------

desert.

Several people riding spirit beasts saw a group of people running from afar.Looking at the direction, it should be the refugees who fled from Dingcheng.The cultivators held on to their magic weapons, ready to fight the monsters chasing after mortals at any time.

But they ran against the crowd for a long time, and saw nothing except people fleeing with their families.

The leading monk shouted at the fleeing refugees: "What's going on in the city?"

Although the crowd panicked, they remained orderly.Someone answered him loudly: "His Royal Highness Princess Jing'an is leading the soldiers in the city to defend against monsters! The prefect opened the city gate and let us run to Jiacheng!"

Several monks looked at each other.

A monk opened his mouth in astonishment, and asked everyone's aspirations:

"The mortal soldiers in the city are defending against monsters?"

------------------

The copper lamp fell to the ground, and its owner didn't even have the strength to take it back for a while.Lu Ran sat paralyzed on the ground leaning against the city wall, unable to even lift a finger.

Not far from him was Duanmujian who had also completely exhausted his spiritual energy and was sitting limply on the ground.

Duanmujian suddenly asked: "Why are we here?"

------------------

The desert between Jiacheng and Dingcheng.

The large force of victims fleeing from the direction of Dingcheng had already left, leaving only a few scattered behind.The monk rode the spirit beast and ran all the way, and he could already see the city wall of Dingcheng from a distance.

The monk stopped when he saw two men who looked like soldiers.These two people seemed to be carrying an unconscious person on their backs, but their bodies were carefully covered with cloaks.

The monk asked the two of them: "How many people are there in the city? Are there no monsters chasing you?"

When one person saw such a fairy-like figure, his head was dizzy and he was about to answer, but the other person gave him a wink.The former reacted immediately.One of the hands behind his back hugged the person on his back more tightly, and the other hand quietly touched the knife hidden on his waist.

He replied vigilantly: "All evacuated. We are the last batch. Who are you? What are you here for?"

The monk holding the compass saw the nervousness of the two of them, so he didn't insist anymore, and continued to move towards Dingcheng on the spirit beast.The remaining two soldiers didn't care about these strange people anymore, and left quickly with the two precious people on their backs.

Among the monks, a person couldn't help lowering his head and muttering:

"The monster raided, I was ready to witness the tragedy of the massacre of the city. In the end, so many people escaped. This is really..."

------------------

city ​​wall.

Lu Ran thought for a while: "We seem to be planning to use mortal gunpowder to blow up the entrance to the Netherworld Barrier that the Balrog tore apart—speaking of which, you haven't told me what the Netherworld Barrier is. Oh yes, You also contributed your magic weapon, which will soon be loaned to Xianmeng to work."

Duanmujian: "..."

She showed a horrible expression: "How did you trick me into getting into a pirate ship with such an outrageous thing?"

Lu Ran laughed.

------------------

On the outskirts of Dingcheng.

After hearing that the barrier of the underworld that separates the two worlds of humans and demons was broken, and monsters blatantly attacked the border city of the world, they had already made psychological expectations when they set off to face all possible tragedies in the world.

To be honest, when Xianmeng notified Jianzong for reinforcements, besides the fact that Jianqing was stationed here, they always thought there was another reason: Compared with monks practicing other Taoism, sword cultivators are more suitable for facing the tragic images of life and death in blood.

But so far, they have seen fleeing civilians and two evacuated soldiers outside the city, but they haven't even seen a single monster.

None.

From a long distance, they saw a few people in tattered armor on the city wall, with ropes tied to their bodies, slowly descending from the city wall.The monks looked at each other, unable to hide their shock.

At this time, there are still people in the city?

Why did they escape at this time?

The monks urged the spirit beasts under their seats to run forward quickly, waving their arms and shouting at these people: "Where is the monster? Have you ever seen a monster?"

A thin and thin man who looked like he should have been a civil servant also answered him loudly:

"We successfully blocked the city gate! So far, we haven't released a single monster from Dingcheng!"

His face was smudged with barely visible features.

There was only one pair of eyes, which were shining brightly washed by the surging emotions.

They didn't release a single monster from Dingcheng!

------------------

Within the walls of Dingcheng.

Dozens of huge flame monsters raised their heads and spewed choking smoke towards the two people hiding behind the battlements.

And not far away, at the troll's feet, there is a ruler with golden light chips flowing, carrying a box full of gunpowder, and it stops firmly above the billowing lava.

A faint, almost invisible earth-colored spiritual force surrounded Duanmu Jian's raised index finger like a ring.

------------------

At the foot of the city wall of Dingcheng.

There was a small commotion among the monks.The compass used for sensing, under the impact of too strong magic breath, turned manically, emitting clear smoke, and spit out a broken part on the face for a while, but the monk reluctantly took it back into the mustard bag.

Several people looked at each other, and the leader said helplessly: "Then we can only use the sword to go into the air, and use our eyes to search for the exact location of the broken barrier."

One person was worried: "Let's not talk about whether Yujian will be taken as a living target by the monsters below when Yujian is flying into the sky... Right now, the city is flooded with monsters, and there is a sea of ​​flames everywhere. I am afraid it will take a long time to discern the real result." Where the world breaks."

Just as they were discussing, a young soldier with an angry expression walked around behind the city wall, clutching the back of his head.

The monk asked, "What's the matter with you?"

The soldier rubbed the swelling on the back of his head and replied angrily:

"Damn it, those two unlucky monks who don't talk about martial arts said they were going to ignite explosives at some barrier breach. As a result, I just brought them there, and they were thrown down."

------------------

Duanmujian lowered his fingers.

Ruler could no longer sense any spiritual support, and fell into the raging fire with a whole box of explosives.

Lu Ran looked up at the sky.The smoky sky was like a dirty gray cloth.

But there are always one or two faint rays of sky that can illuminate the earth through the haze that covers the sky and the sun.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he seems to have heard a clear phoenix cry.

------------------

The monk opened his eyes wide.They have been stimulated so much along the way that they almost have auditory hallucinations.

"Explosives? What explosives? The explosives from the Yanni Pavilion?"

The soldier didn't know what Yanyan Pavilion was, so he replied naively: "No, it's the explosives of a group of border smugglers who checked the goods before. Added sugar, it's powerful."

The monk was completely confused: "You said that there are two ascetics who took gunpowder made by mortals to ignite the source of the monsters? They didn't receive the notice to retreat?! Even the gunpowder from the Yanyan Pavilion may not be useful , what can they do with mortal gunpowder? What's the point?"

The young soldier shrugged, using anger to hide the worry and prayer in his eyes:

"Ghost knows what the two of them are thinking."

He lowered his voice and said softly:

"But they say, even if it doesn't make sense, do it until the last minute."

------------------

Under the magma that was invisible to everyone, the ruler melted and turned into a light like molten gold.

The golden shards of light swimming in the yellow emerald exploded after shrinking sharply.

With a bang, the flames soaring into the sky ignited.The scorching light illuminated the smoky border town.

------------------

Under the city wall of Dingcheng.

The cultivator who came to support stood at the foot of the city blankly, staring at the sky intently.

The melted fragments of the magic weapon swayed up with the impact, like a golden flower blooming under the gray sky.Immediately, it poured down like a flowing golden waterfall.

So bright, so dazzling.

The headed monk reflected the light and shadow of the flowers in the sky, and couldn't help muttering: "Fireworks..."

Bright beams illuminate the panorama of the fallen city.

At the foot of Dingcheng, the monk suddenly came to his senses, stood up with his sword, and shouted:

"Coordinates! The fire explodes, and the place where the fireworks rise are the coordinates of the barrier breach!"

The author has something to say:

In a sense, this chapter can be regarded as going in both directions hhh
