Chapter 430 Zhao Duan: Senior please take action! (5k)
Zhao Duan was extremely calm: "We need to leave a few people behind to stop them."
Gongshu Tianyuan said proudly: "I just attacked Ren Kun in a sneak attack. Let me take care of him this time."
Jin Jian looked at the unreliable fifth senior brother who was bored with his toys, and the girl sighed softly: "I'll stay too."
Although the young priest is a little dull, she feels that she is mature in her heart. Well, at least she is more reliable than the fifth senior brother.
Although the two of them have profound knowledge, they have not been promoted for a long time... They are afraid that they will not be able to compete with the masters of Kuang Fushe who kill red eyes... Zhao Duan's thoughts changed and he said:
"Lang Shiba, you stay too."
The two at the foot of the mountain belong to the combination of martial arts and martial arts. It would be inappropriate if I only send two priests here.
"Drunkard" Lang Shiba said "yes", took the wine gourd behind him, threw it to Jiyue, and played with all his strength.
"Let's go." Zhao Duan said nothing and immediately led Ji Yue, Haitang and Zhang Han to continue climbing.
Wait for someone to leave.
There were only three "Worldly" first-class members left halfway up the mountain, trying to resist the Kuang Fu She duo who were quickly catching up with their cultivation base.
"Huhu——"
The cold winter mountain wind passed through the withered trees and forests, and hung on the faces of the three people.
"The opponent is very strong, but fortunately the location is favorable. Later I tried my best to block the front, while the two of them cast spells from behind." Lang Shiba said calmly. This former military general undoubtedly has rich fighting experience.
There were beads of sweat on the palm of his hand holding the scimitar, and his weathered face was full of solemnity.
During the battle at Huting, he had personally experienced Qi Yuchun's spear skills and knew that he would be unable to resist, but if he was allowed to break through the blockade and close the distance between him and the two "priests", he would be very passive.
"Ha! How can I, the priest, ask you to risk your life as a human shield when I am here?"
Gongshu Tianyuan raised his chin and sneered, looking like a master.
Then, he pursed his lips in the surprised gazes of the two people and showed a sinister smile:
"Do you really think that the God Craftsman Warlock is not good at fighting? When we were fighting Buddhism and Taoism, the reason why Master wanted you to join us was not because I couldn't beat you, Senior Brother, but because outsiders simply didn't know that a well-prepared God Craftsman has the ability to fight. What a bug. Well, Brother Zhao taught me this word.”
"It's enough for you two to protect me!"
After saying that, Gongshu Tianyuan tore open his robe, took out a handful of disposable storage talismans again, and sprinkled them on the mountain path.
Bang bang bang…
Black, thick mechanical parts made of wrought iron and fine steel fell to the ground. The most eye-catching one was a brass barrel as thick as an adult's waist.
When Zhao Duan drew pictures by hand, he and "Chen Huoshen" from the Shenji Battalion studied new firearms and built a magical weapon that only a warlock could drive.
At this time, Gongshu Tianyuan picked up the "Craftsman's Hammer", clanged it, and quickly assembled a powerful "divine cannon" full of pressure on the mountain road.
It has a wrought iron base that is seven feet long, wide and three feet high, supporting a thick black barrel with astonishing thickness and formation runes painted on it.
Gongshu Tianyuan rotated the muzzle and pointed it downwards. He was being carried by the illusory "Earth God" and was about to approach Qi Yuchun and Ren Kun.
The little fat man laughed wildly, his eyes flashed with a crazy and fierce light, and he stepped on the trigger.
"Your grandpa the craftsman is here!!"
"Buzz——"
The muzzle of [Shenwei Cannon Fantasy Edition] is rapidly charged, the patterns light up one after another, and the spherical electric light in the dark barrel collapses crazily.
Then, a small sun-like spherical light group roared out, rapidly enlarging in the Earth God's suddenly narrowed pupils.
"Boom————"
……
……
Listening to the sudden roar from the bottom of the mountain, Zhao Duan did not look back: "Quick!"
A group of four people had already crossed the archway of the "Forbidden Mountain Villa" and rushed into this ancient building complex built on the mountain.
"Who?"
Two Kuangfu community members guarding the door rushed out, holding knives in their hands and looking frightened.
With a flick of Haitang's wrist, the flying knife flew out and penetrated the throats of the two of them. The latter fell softly.
At this time, the remaining people in the villa were also attracted by the sound of cannons and ran over. But how could the already empty villa stop the four murderers?
Zhao Duan almost didn't make a move, and the other three just chopped down melons and vegetables, laying down the corpses on the ground.
"Tell me, where is Zhuang Xiaocheng?" Zhao Duan asked, stepping on a guy on the ground who was loudly begging for mercy.
This man was obviously not a strong-willed member of the club. He was probably a servant in the villa. He immediately pointed to the pavilion in the distance:
"Over there..."
Zhao Duan raised his head and looked at the highest pavilion beside the cliff.
……
……
"Sixteen, eighteen."
Yun Xi picked up the chess pieces and placed them in the corresponding positions.
Zhuang Xiaocheng admired the game and said:
"According to the time, there should be results in the city by now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the roar of artillery startled the birds in the villa.
Everyone in the pavilion was stunned, and Yun Xi twisted around suddenly and looked down the mountain, her eyes flashing brightly.
"What's going on? Lao Wu, go and have a look." Zhuang Xiaocheng stood up in shock and ordered.
The commune member who was respectfully called "Uncle Five" ran wildly outside, but shortly after turning the corner of the building, he let out a scream.
In Zhuang Xiaocheng's field of vision, four figures came from a distance.
A woman in red with white eyes floating in the air like a ghost is the most eye-catching. A small stream of water gushes out from the wine gourd behind her. Under the control of the woman's slender fingers, it condenses into two long "water whips".
Zhang Han and Haitang were on the left and right, the swords in their hands were stained red and dripping with thick blood.
The leader of the two guards was a young man in brocade clothes. He had a long sword hanging on his waist but had not drawn it out. He walked forward and looked at each other.
"Zhao Du'an!" Zhuang Xiaocheng's eyelids twitched wildly as he spit out the name that had haunted him for more than half a year.
"Zhuang Xiaocheng!" Zhao Duan also saw this former Taifu again after nearly a year, the second prince Jianwen's master, and the leader of Kuangfu Society.
He was also the real culprit who killed the original owner.
"Zhao Duan? He is Zhao Duan!?"
"Why did he appear here? Shouldn't he be at Fengcheng execution ground? The assassination failed?"
In the pavilion, the young men and women were shocked and immediately reacted: "Protect the Taifu!"
However, Ji Yue, who was in mid-air, had already controlled the long whip and whipped it hard, intending to roll Zhuang Xiaocheng over.
"Bang!"
The whip struck the air at the edge of the pavilion, making the sound of gold and iron clashing.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then realized that at some point, a faint formation barrier appeared around the pavilion.
"Don't panic." Zhuang Xiaocheng raised his right hand, and in his palm was a green jade fish charm that he smashed:
"Although I am a mortal, I still have some means to save my life. As long as you don't step out of this pavilion, you can hold on for a while."
Zhao Duan had already arrived outside the pavilion and stopped. He frowned and looked at Ji Yue who was controlling the whip and bombarding the barrier again and again:
"What's going on?"
The social fear warlock said blankly: "A formation can block my power."
Zhang Han's eyes narrowed, and the seven-foot sword in his hand was filled with energy, and he slashed hard at the translucent barrier, but was softly bounced away.
"This thing is difficult to damage with swords, but it stands to reason that magic can always defeat it." Haitang said solemnly.
Jiyue whispered: "I can break it, but it will take some time."
As she spoke, she turned on all her firepower, whipping the barrier with two dragon-whisker-like whips, consuming the power of the formation.
Zhao Duan squinted his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile:
"Then you might as well wait. What I don't lack is time."
In the pavilion, Zhuang Xiaocheng walked out, met his eyes, and said:
"The roar of artillery on the mountain road. If I expected it right, Qi Yuchun and Ren Kun should also be back. Have you sent people to stop them? The Northland Blood Sword next to you, and the two high disciples from the Tianshi Mansion?"
Zhao Duan said: "You know me very well."
After the initial shock, Zhuang Xiaocheng restored his calm demeanor and said calmly:
"Although the high disciples of the Tianshi Mansion have extraordinary potential, they have only entered the world not long ago. They can only stop them for a while, but they are no match for Qi and Ren joining forces. As long as I hold on until they arrive, the danger will be solved."
This was said to Yun Xi and others to stabilize the morale of the army.
Zhao Duan smiled.
He smiled sincerely, with crow's feet appearing at the corners of his eyes:
"The Taifu is so generous and worthy of being the leader of Kuangfu Society. Then we might as well make a bet on whether Qi and Ren will come over first, or whether we will break your formation first."
Zhuang Xiaocheng stared at him: "Do you think you can win?"
Zhao Duan sighed:
"I have always had good luck, just like in the bamboo forest in the southern suburbs of Beijing."
After a pause, he suddenly looked around at the barren mountains and pavilions in winter, and said with a smile:
"Taifu Zhuang, don't you feel that the scene before you seems familiar? I remember that it was like this in the bamboo forest.
You were blocked in the Earth Temple by my officer and his men. Unfortunately, it is not summer yet, and there is no bamboo forest scenery in the barren mountains.
Oh, your female apprentice is here too, haha, what a coincidence. It seems that God is helping me and wants me to take revenge myself. ”
Yun Xi looked angry and stared at him without saying a word.
Zhuang Xiaocheng was silent for a moment. This old man with frosty white hair, wearing a Confucian robe, and having the demeanor of a national scholar just standing seemed to be touched. He stared deeply at the young man outside the pavilion:
"I was surprised."
He said seriously:
"Since we parted ways in the temple that day, you have really given me too many surprises. Every single thing you did in Beijing was extremely surprising to me, and it is even more different from when you were with me at that time. The arrogant and domineering person in front of him is completely different.
So much so that I often wonder, was it really a coincidence that you took the credit from Ma Yan and arrested me in advance? ”
No, you are overthinking, this is really just the original owner who was stupid... Zhao Duan smiled.
Zhuang Xiaocheng stood with his hands behind his back, seeming to be sighing:
"But it's not important. It doesn't matter whether you conspired with the false emperor, deliberately pretended to be stupid, or anything else. What's important is that since you brutally killed the benevolent people in Kuangfu Society in the capital, I will I know, no matter what the cost, I must kill you. "Are you still pretending at this time? He was so righteous and awe-inspiring, so he deceived himself... Zhao Duan clapped his hands gently:
"Pa bang bang..."
Amidst the crisp applause, he smiled and praised:
"As expected of a great master, he never forgets to win over people's hearts. If the State of Yu does not give you an Oscar, I will be unfair to you."
Oscar? Little Golden Man?
Zhuang Xiaocheng frowned at the unfamiliar words he had never heard before.
"That's all, if you want to set up a character, I won't stop you."
Zhao Duan stopped swelling and said calmly:
"I'm very curious, when you are captured back to the capital and faced with the public trial of the whole world, will you still be able to act confidently and slander His Majesty, which will be recorded in the history books of the years."
Zhuang Xiaocheng's eyes were deep: "I am indeed surprised that you found this place. Did Lu Zhengchun tell you?"
The biggest possibility he could think of was that the assassination failed, and Lu Zhengchun revealed the location of the Forbidden Villa in order to survive... This was the most reasonable speculation.
Zhao Duan did not deny it and said with a smile:
"I have to admit that your arrangement today is very powerful. In order to make me divide my troops, you did not hesitate to throw out so many members as bait, and even stuffed the prisoners who I exchanged for...
Let me think about it, are you doing this to get rid of these prisoners once and for all?
You were worried that I had arranged spies among these prisoners, but in order to gather people's hearts and you couldn't refuse, you were in a dilemma, so you simply scattered them and threw them into the city, and then threw them back to the court. It was indeed a rough method.
But do you really think that I couldn't guess that it was me you wanted to kill? Never wanted to save Lu Zhengchun? ”
Zhuang Xiaocheng suddenly said:
"I see. It's because Lu Zhengchun was caught too quickly and exposed too easily, so you think it was me who abandoned him? So you don't believe that I will do my best to save him, and you suspect that I will take the opportunity to kill you...
Well, although you maliciously speculated on me too much, a coincidence helped you bypass the fog... On the contrary, my plan was too complicated and I thought too much. ”
Still pretending! This old man is still pretending!
Zhao Duan was too lazy to argue with him and smiled:
"Whatever you think, in short, it seems that I won this game. And you...and you..."
He pointed at the young people in Yun Xi and said with a smile:
"Taifu Zhuang, you should not think about yourself, but think about them. Surrender. I hereby promise as the 'Prince Shaobao' that as long as you surrender, I will not make it difficult for them. I can even help them." Write to Your Majesty to absolve them of their sins. What do you think?”
"Dog thief!"
A young man cursed:
"I would rather die than surrender to you! I wish I could eat your flesh alive and crush your bones..."
"Yes! Master, don't listen to his deceptions, we would rather die than surrender!"
A tough-minded young man spoke one after another.
"Oh? Really? It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."
The smile on Zhao Duan's face slowly disappeared, and he looked down at the other party coldly, with sarcasm appearing on the corner of his mouth:
"Then I will satisfy you. Hey, Old Gou Zhuang, it seems that I won the bet."
At this time, with the crazy bombardment of Jiyue, the barrier outside the pavilion was already in danger, flashing crazily and about to collapse.
On the mountain road outside the villa, the sound of fighting has not ended yet.
The faces of the group of young people turned pale, but no one retreated. They were ready to sacrifice themselves generously. Some picked up the chessboard and some picked up the bench, ready to fight to the death.
Zhuang Xiaocheng was happy and not afraid, and said calmly:
"Do you really think you won?"
He slowly opened his left hand, and in his palm was another green jade fish charm.
Zhao Duan was stunned for a moment, and the young men who sacrificed their lives generously were also stunned:
"Master, do you have another one?"
Zhuang Xiaocheng slowly walked to a bead in the pavilion and threw the fish charm towards the pillar to buy more time, with a smile on his face.
The sound of fighting at the mountain road was gradually approaching, indicating that Qi Yuchun and his two men were getting closer and closer to the villa.
As long as you hold on for a while, it can be reversed.
However, Zhao Duan's face was equally calm, and he suddenly repeated the other party's words:
"Do you really think you won?"
Zhuang Xiaocheng was startled, his eyes showed doubts, and then he suddenly felt a heartbreaking pain!
pain!
Pain coming from behind!
"Ah!" The young man holding the chessboard suddenly exclaimed, his eyes widened:
"Yun Xi...you..."
In full view of everyone, Yun Xi stood behind Zhuang Xiaocheng at some unknown moment.
Her hair was spread out, and the hairpin that fixed her long hair was held in her hand. The extremely sharp hairpin that had been sharpened at the end easily pierced the back of Zhuang Xiaocheng's heart, and blood suddenly gushes out, dyeing the Confucian robe red.
It also dyed her white little hands red.
Yun Xi's beautiful face was indifferent, and her beautiful eyes showed the joy of success and the joy of revenge.
"It's you..."
Zhuang Xiaocheng slowly turned his head and saw the girl who suddenly pulled out the hairpin, came to his side, put the hairpin against his throat with her right hand, and snatched the green jade fish charm with her left hand.
He seemed to realize something: "You betrayed..."
"No," Yun Xi stared at him mockingly, "You betrayed us and your ideals."
"Yun Xi! Let go of Taifu!"
The boys and girls realized it later and shouted loudly, wanting to pounce on her, but they were afraid that she would kill the Taifu.
"Yunxi, you did a great job."
Zhao Duan smiled in approval. At the same time, Ji Yue in mid-air whipped his whip with all his strength and hit the barrier with a bang.
The barrier that had exhausted its mana suddenly collapsed, and cold wind poured into the pavilion.
Zhang Han and Haitang rushed in instantly, knocking over a group of boys and girls.
The situation reversed instantly.
However, Zhao Duan still did not relax his vigilance. He still remembered how cunning this old dog was in the temple.
Sure enough, facing such a desperate situation, Zhuang Xiaocheng's eyes showed a trace of sadness, and he said calmly:
"Do you know why I am willing to let you catch Lu Zhengchun?"
"Because I'm not worried about him telling the location of the Forbidden Mountain Villa."
"Because I never thought that I could kill you so easily."
"Because the real killing is never in the execution ground, but here, the real assassin is not them, but me."
Zhuang Xiaocheng's aged face showed determination and solemnity like a sacrifice:
"Zhao Duan, I'll trade my life for you, it's not a loss!"
Ji Yue's face in the sky changed suddenly, and she shouted loudly: "Be careful!"
The ground suddenly shook, and the entire villa shook violently.
No, not the villa, but the entire mountain.
The houses began to collapse and the ground cracked. Zhao Duan's pupils suddenly narrowed. Following the cracking sound, he turned his head and saw thick cracks opening in the distant ground, which expanded rapidly.
……
On the mountain road.
The five people who were still fighting fiercely were still fighting. The powerful cannon was left behind after firing all the shells. The trio retreated steadily. Qi Yuchun and Ren Kun, who were almost crazy, forced them to retreat to the top of the mountain.
However, at this moment, the five people fighting at the same time stopped and looked at the Forbidden Mountain Villa in the distance in astonishment.
To be precise, he was looking at the protruding cliff.
At this moment, the cliff carrying the pavilion and the entire huge mountain, from top to bottom, seemed to have been split open by the gods with a giant axe, cracks opened, and were about to break away from the main body of the mountain and fall towards the canyon below!
"The formation...the leyline formation of the Villa was detonated..."
Ren Kun murmured, his face pale.
Qi Yuchun held a spear and turned to stare at his companion who had arranged the entire villa's territory:
"What did you say?!"
Ren Kun said in disbelief:
"The Taifu took the initiative to blow up half of the mountain. He wanted to drag Zhao Duan to be buried with him. In such a high valley, if the mountain collapsed, except for an earthly magician like me, even you would be dead."
perish together!
It turns out that the real assassination plan was to die together!
"Brother Zhao! Oh no!" Gongshu Tianyuan was confused and shouted:
"Junior sister! The moon in the water!"
Jin Jian was stunned, and suddenly came to his senses. He waved his staff and tried to activate the magic to teleport to get people.
However, after being teleported continuously in the city and going through another hard battle just now, the mana in her body was almost exhausted, and the spell failed.
The girl became anxious. However, although the two brothers and sisters still had some life-saving cards, they could not use them to save people.
……
On the cliff.
The earth shook, the mountains shook, and the rocks collapsed.
Zhuang Xiaocheng laughed loudly. He coughed up blood and said with a smile:
"Zhao Duan, can you survive this time?"
Haitang and Zhang Han struggled to keep their feet, but Yun Xi simply fell to the ground, unable to maintain her body stability.
Jiyue also panicked and took two steps forward. Suddenly she was hit by a collapsed pillar and fell to the ground with a loud sound.
Zhao Duan held the sword with both hands and embedded the Frost Sword into the stone under his feet to maintain his steady posture. He stared at the laughing scholar in front of him, closed his eyes and said calmly:
"Senior please take action!"
His brows lit up suddenly, and then, the energy in his body was wildly pulled away, and strands of golden light poured out from his pores, slowly pulling out thin lines behind him.
And at the end of the thin line.
A figure slowly condensed in the air.
He was wearing a bright red wedding dress, his bare feet were as white as snow, and his face was covered with a dark golden mysterious mask. He was dressed in an outfit that did not belong to this era, and a scale beam was suspended in his hand.
Pei Niannu looked down at the crowd indifferently, and turned her attention to Zhao Duan, who raised his face and smiled at her:
"Senior..."
Pei Niannu's eyes were cold and he sighed softly: "The reward is ten shifts."

Change the typesetting first and then change it
