Chapter 295: Crisis in Changle Palace
Chapter 295: Crisis in Changle Palace
A small hole was forcibly blasted open in the barrier of Changle Palace, and everything in front of him was charred black.
Rong Jinhua's face turned pale, and he stood up suddenly, suppressing the scream in his mouth back into his throat, his fingertips clenched until they turned white.
Yanzhou had a gloomy face and swung out a protective shield with his backhand, covering Rong Jinhua and several maids.
Qi An was stunned for a moment, but when he came to his senses, Gui Wenshan, dressed in a black robe, was already standing quietly at the palace gate.
After taking a look, his expression became serious and he clenched the sword in his hand. The man was dressed very strangely and his cultivation level was completely unpredictable.
After he and Yanzhou looked at each other, they both saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
Gui Wenshan walked slowly into Changle Palace under the horrified gazes of everyone, his posture as casual as if he was entering his own home.
"Oh, the Tianyan Sect's direct descendant? You're willing to put in so much effort just to protect these mortals?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in his smile, and his expression became increasingly cold.
Qi An frowned, his smile faded a bit, "Who are you? Why are you colluding with the demons?"
"Collusion? That's wrong. I don't obey orders from anyone and I just do things according to my heart." Gui Wenshan chuckled sinisterly.
Yanzhou pursed his lips and released a stream of air silently from his fingertips, which went out smoothly and unhindered in a place where Gui Wenshan could not detect.
Qi An scoffed, not believing his nonsense at all. "Oh? Then what do you want to do? You can't just want to compete with us, right?"
Gui Wenshan slowly raised his eyes, his eyes as cold as a poisonous snake, and the coldness in his eyes almost penetrated the black cloth and spread throughout the palace.
"I only want that woman's life. Be smart and get out of here."
Both of them were direct disciples of the Tianyan Sect. The old men of the Tianyan Sect regarded them as their eyes, and would cause a lot of trouble if they were beaten or injured.
Yanzhou sneered when he heard this, and clenched the sword in his hand, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Gui Wenshan's eyebrows. His face was tense and there was no sign of fear at all.
"It just so happens that the two of us were ordered to protect her, so there's nothing to talk about."
The coldness in Gui Wenshan's eyes contained a hint of sneer, mixed with disdain and contempt, which made people shudder.
In that case, don't blame him for being ruthless.
A dark brown sail flag slowly appeared, and with a slight wave, countless figures filled the entire palace, holding swords in their hands and with dull eyes.
Qi An's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at the scene with a stern expression. His voice was extremely cold, "How dare you refine a puppet? You are simply insane."
Looking carefully, Qi An saw a few familiar faces. He never expected that when they met again, they were harmed by others and completely turned into killing weapons.
"So what? They... are just not as skilled as others." Gui Wenshan said lightly in the face of the lives of thousands and hundreds of people.
Yanzhou's eyes widened, filled with despair and grief. He had been in the sect for too short a time and had never experienced such things, so he was unable to bring himself to do anything for a moment.
Qi An suppressed the grief in his eyes, swept his sword, and pointed the tip of the sword at the puppets. The smile disappeared from the corners of his lips, and his jaw was tense.
His peripheral vision caught sight of Yanzhou's expression of reluctance, and he sternly shouted, "Yanzhou, draw your sword. They are already dead, and now you are nothing but a murderous puppet."
Yanzhou was awakened by the stern voice. The puppet in front of him attacked fiercely and each move was deadly. He suddenly realized something, and the last trace of reluctance in his heart disappeared.
The sword in his hand no longer showed mercy, and the murderous sword intent swept out, which was even more fierce than usual.
These puppets were divided into three groups, each entangled the hands and feet of Yanzhou and Qi'an, while others mechanically tried to pierce the protective shield with swords.
Rong Jinhua was just a mortal after all. She had never seen such a horrific scene before. Her whole body was trembling, but she still protected the scroll in her arms.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a little maid who was about to be squeezed out of the protective shield. She hurriedly pulled the person into her arms, trying to keep her voice steady.
"Don't push, just stay put and don't cause them any trouble." There was authority in her voice.
When they heard Rong Jinhua's voice, they instantly felt more confident and calmed down strangely.
Qi An held the sword in his right hand, and the sword energy was overflowing, but the puppets around him seemed to have no consciousness. He couldn't beat them, and he couldn't kill them either.
The puppet was endlessly alive, and its gaze swept over Gui Wenshan, who had an indifferent posture, or to be more precise, fell on the sail flag in his hand.
The one that controls these puppets is the sail flag.
Gui Wenshan seemed to sense something. He suddenly raised his eyes and chuckled playfully, "It's rare to see someone who dares to set his sights on me."
Seeing the two men looking a little embarrassed, he sighed softly and slowly walked to the side of Rong Jinhua and the others.
He lightly tapped the strange ball of flesh in his hand, and a crack appeared in the protective shield. Then, with a crisp sound, the protective shield was completely torn apart.
Qi An and the other man looked stern and jumped up at the same time, but their hind feet were grabbed hard by the puppet and they fell back to the ground.
"You despicable villain, come at us if you dare." Qi An kicked the puppet away angrily and cursed
The maids were horrified and fell to the ground in fear. At the moment of death, they shook their heads violently as if they had lost their voices.
Only Rong Jinhua looked calm, yet there was a hint of relief deep in his eyes.
Gui Wenshan ignored Qi An, his eyes lowered without a trace of warmth, he gathered his palms together and brought them down fiercely.
At the critical moment, a talisman flashed, and with a bang, Gui Wenshan, who was dressed in black, was blown away.
Jiang Yuxia appeared in front of everyone with a smile, picked up Rong Jinhua who had closed his eyes and was waiting to die, and then quietly flew above the palace.
"Hello, Brother Qi An, you two are no match for each other. You can't solve this problem." She said with a smile
Qi An curved his eyebrows, swung the sword in his hand, and several sword winds knocked the puppet away. Then he jumped forward, and golden light spread into a circle from under his feet.
With a tap of his toes, the ball of light pressed down, knocking the puppets to the ground. With a "bang", they all knelt on the ground.
"How about it, am I handsome?" he said with a smile
Yanzhou: “…”
Jiang Yuxia: “…”
As soon as Rong Jinhua opened her eyes, she found herself in mid-air. Her face turned pale. When she heard the ethereal and clear voice of the girl beside her, she looked up in confusion.
When she saw Jiang Yuxia's face clearly, her mind exploded and the scroll in her hand fell to the ground.
"Shushu? My...Shushu?"
She could hardly take her eyes off it, staring at it without blinking, fearing that this was just another hallucination.
Jiang Yuxia blinked slightly, and after hearing the whispered words, she looked at her sideways, and in her pupils was reflected Rong Jinhua, who looked exactly like her...
Her eyes suddenly tightened, and the hand holding the cloud-hair brush trembled.
Gui Wenshan was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the robe covering his body with lingering fear. Fortunately, he retreated in time.
There was a fierce light in his eyes, and his whole face was terribly gloomy.
"A bunch of ignorant brats are simply courting death." He shouted angrily.
