Chapter 348 Rescue, backstab! (Two in one)
As soon as the words fell, Yang Zheng fell from the sky.
Flying down, he fired out a shot and turned into a starlight belt, knocking back dozens of monsters in it.
More than a dozen monsters were directly pierced by the gun air, and died before they even had time to transform.
“You bastards, die to me!”
Xing Tiexin fell one after another, and a big gun directly smashed a demon leader into a pulp.
"No! The human reinforcements have arrived!"
"Damn it, the reinforcements came so fast! Withdraw!"
The strong appearance of Yang Zheng and Xing Tiexin made the crowd The demon was so frightened that he wanted to give up the attack and retreat.
But just as they turned their heads, they were alerted to the purple-gold lotus fire gathering around them.
The lotus fire floated around them, quite beautifully.
The surrounding temperature also became abnormal with the appearance of these lotus fires.
"Unfortunately, we can't leave anymore." Song Changming said calmly in the air and snapped his fingers.
In an instant, those floating lotus fires detonated one after another, and the power of the explosions merged into one, swallowing up the group of demons in an instant.
As his Qi refining skills gradually improved, and he gained the upgraded Qi Refiner characteristics, he could easily control Qi like this, and it was extremely powerful.
If his skin and flesh were not thick, he would not be able to withstand the fireworks show created by Song Changming.
The explosion lasted for half a minute before it stopped.
In the field, the weaker monsters had been blown to pieces, and the blood of the monsters was drawn into them, floating into Song Changming's body one after another, and sealed with witchcraft.
Although the strength of these blood energy is not very high, it is more powerful than it is in quantity.
Some of the remaining demon commanders survived, but they all seemed to have suffered varying degrees of injuries.
Behind Song Changming, a famous general flew past, landed quickly, and surrounded the remaining demon commanders who were still alive.
In the distance, two teams of thousands of riders also arrived quickly.
"Great, the reinforcements have arrived!" On the city wall, Meng Jianli and all the officials were relieved.
This wave of reinforcements came just in time.
If they don’t come today, they won’t have the confidence to survive until the next day.
The energy reserves of the city defense formation are running low.
"Maple City is defended!" Meng Jianli loosened his clenched fists under his sleeves and let out a long sigh of relief.
However, at this moment, a discordant voice came from behind him.
“What a pity, Lord City Lord.”
Meng Jianli’s heart skipped a beat and he suddenly turned around to look.
That was a general stationed at the top of the city.
Under the helmet, an evil smile appeared on the originally expressionless face.
My eyes glowed with black light.
Meng Jianli looked at him, his expression suddenly stiffened, and he fell into a trance.
He watched helplessly as the general put the long sword in his hand into his chest.
Buzz!
Suddenly a layer of white light appeared on Meng Jianli's chest.
It was a milky white jade pendant, with the luster of runes appearing on it.
Obviously a piece of talisman.
Under the protection of the white light, the deadly blade could not make any further progress after piercing his armor.
"Interesting, I really gave birth to a good daughter, Lord City Lord." The general seemed to know the origin of this talisman, and the black light in his eyes became stronger, and he looked directly into Meng Jianli's eyes.
“Throw it away.”
This sentence seemed to have magic power. After finishing the words, Meng Jianli was in a trance, and he obediently pulled off the amulet from his body. Throw it aside.
Without the protection of the talisman, the blade is no longer hindered.
“Traitor!”
Song Changming, who was outside the city, suddenly heard a loud roar from the city wall and couldn't help but turn around and look.
Just in time to see the general pull out the bloody sword, the Maple City Lord also fell to the ground.
Song Changming was a little stunned.
What's going on?
The crisis outside the city has been resolved. Is there someone backstabbing inside the city?
Song Changming wanted to go in and rescue him, but the city defense formation was still open, blocking him outside.
Besieged by a group of soldiers, the general who stabbed the city lord in the back did not stop. He killed a group of soldiers in a flash, easily broke through, jumped into the city, and disappeared without a trace.
"Guanhu array!" Yang Zhen shouted loudly, the sound was so loud that it could be heard clearly both inside and outside the city.
Soon, the protective formation dispersed.
"Tie Xin, you lead the team to deal with the monsters outside, Chang Ming, I will enter the city to arrest people at any time."
Yang Zhen made some arrangements, and Song Changming immediately landed on the top of the city and saw Meng Jianli, who was still alive and on his deathbed.
As soon as Song Changming sensed it, he was sure that the city lord who had interacted with him was helpless.
The other party has no martial arts skills, and now his injuries are too serious for gods to save him.
Meng Jianli's stiff eyes swayed and fell on Song Changming.
"Young hero, why is it you"
Several years later, Song Changming's appearance had not changed much, so he was recognized by Meng Jianli at a glance.
"What's going on?" Song Changming asked with a frown.
"It was Huali Nu who pretended to be a slave. It's a pity that he succeeded. Young hero, please take care of my family and send the army back to the main city of Cuibai.
In addition, behind me, Everything is written in this letter, please take it to Meng, Meng, and hand it over."
In the end, Meng Jianli died before he finished speaking.
Song Changming glanced at the envelope in his hand, put it into the Qiankun bag, and told Feng Xingzhuo to keep an eye on the city lord's body.
Then he flew into the city.
Song Changming thought, and on the spiritual villain in the underworld, circles of spiritual fluctuations began to spread, covering almost the entire Maple City without sparing any effort!
His eyes flashed with light, and he could barely see the whites of his eyes.
This is a symbol of highly condensed spiritual power.
Song Changming just flew over the city, his eyes scanning around like a radar.
The entire Maple City has a population base of more than three million. If you want to find a hidden person in this huge sea of people, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are looking for a needle in a haystack.
Not to mention that this Huali slave is also very good at disguise, making the search extremely difficult.
Yang Zhen in the distance felt angry, and suddenly, Song Changming vaguely noticed a very faint evil aura.
Song Changming immediately contracted his mental power and locked the area below.
The divine light in his eyes became more and more dazzling and profound.
Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on one place, and his body moved like a wild goose flying down.
Below is one of the many private houses, nothing special.
But Song Changming was sure that there was a very weak element of demonic energy inside it.
Stepping on the roof, Song Changming fell into it.
In the room, the three members of the family who had been hiding had already fainted. Only a commoner young man was still awake, looking back at Song Changming who had landed in the air.
“You can actually find me!”
The commoner young man stopped pretending and showed his cards right away, showing a weird smile.
I saw his mouth opening wider and wider, and the face of an ordinary human youth turned into a civet cat head, revealing two fangs. Sure enough, they are from the Huali slave clan!
At the same time, his pupils turned black, and Song Changming met his eyes. His originally condensed spirit was instantly impacted by the magic, and was about to collapse.
"What a powerful mental attack method!" Song Changming reacted and was shocked.
With his current level of mental cohesion and the fact that he was still able to get hit even when he was on guard, the opponent was obviously not an ordinary Hualinu clan monster.
When he came back to his senses, the opponent was already close to him, and a pair of sharp claws had broken through the armor, and he was planning to disembowel him.
“Kill you, I don’t believe anyone else can catch me! If I want to blame, I blame you for seeking your own death!”
The Huali slave sneered, as if he was sure of victory and Song Changming would definitely die.
He knows very well how sharp his claws are.
With no defense, it is impossible for a mere human flesh and blood to stop it.
“I want your heart!”
The warrior’s heart is his favorite.
Just when he thought he was sure, his claws touched his skin. The sharp claws that could break gold and iron in the past encountered obstacles this time.
The flesh and blood body in front of me, which should have been like a piece of tofu, is now like the hardest object in the world.
His sharp claws failed to break open, or even scratch the skin!
“How is that possible!”
Huali Nu’s face was horrifying and unbelievable.
Song Changming just stood there defenseless, but his claws were unable to break the defense of the person in front of him!
He raised his head somewhat dullly and met Song Changming's cold eyes, as if falling into an ice cave.
He wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
With Xiao Wu's speed seal increasing, Song Changming's attack was like lightning, and he embedded the opponent's animal head with his big hand.
Use your fingers a little harder.
Hearing a click, Huali Nu's face was distorted, and his skull was cracked by Song Changming.
“Let go!” Huali Nu screamed, his hands turned into claws, and he stabbed Song Changming’s chest frantically without giving up.
However, Song Changming did not move at all, and remained indifferent despite the sparks flying from Huali Nu's claws on his chest.
Huali Nu was completely panicked when he saw this. He raised his eyes and stared again, wanting to repeat his old trick.
However, this time, Song Changming failed to make him wish.
He exerted force on his hand again, and with a bang, the opponent's head shattered like a watermelon.
With a wave of his hand, he absorbed all the blood and energy from this flower slave.
At this time, Yang Zhen arrived.
"Already dead." Song Changming said, wiping the blood on his hands.
The corpses on the ground gradually shriveled up, but they could still be identified. There was no doubt that they were the Huali slaves.
Once upon a time, when Song Changming first came to Maple City, he also fought with the Huali slave demon tribe in this area.
It’s just that the flower slave in front of him is obviously much stronger than those he encountered in the past.
Although the Huali slave couldn't even break through his defense just now, in terms of strength, he is really not weak. It's just that Song Changming has the Little Witch Armor Seal beside him, and his body has been tempered like divine iron, so he survived. Disaster.
Song Changming estimated that a strong man at the level of a general in an ordinary army would most likely not be able to fight against this raccoon slave, and would most likely die.
No wonder this civet slave was so bold that he dared to lurk beside the city lord alone. Seeing that the city could not be breached, he retreated to the next best option and carried out an assassination.
Speaking of which, this Huali slave's ability to hide evil spirits is considered to be exceptional.
"The city lord is dead, and the nature of this matter is different." Yang Zhen picked up the body of the Huali slave on the ground and said with a frown.
I thought this was just a small mission to go out and gain merit, but I never expected to kill the city lord.
And the city lord is still a descendant of the Meng family. He will have to find a way to explain to the Meng family later on, which is a thankless task.
“Let’s go, the demon group outside the city should have been almost wiped out, but there may be some hidden in the city, and they must be investigated thoroughly.”
After saying that, Yang Zhen quickly flew to the city lord's mansion.
Song Changming glanced at the owner of the original house who was still in a coma. They were also lucky. If the Huali slave didn't want to expose himself, the family of three might have become blood eaters.
Three waves of Gang Qi were fired and the three of them were awakened.
“This is the money to repair the roof.” Song Changming left a few spirit coins and left through the main entrance.
Maple City is still the same Maple City, and there is no change from what Song Changming saw a few years ago, as if time has stopped in these old cities.
It's just that it's weird to say it.
When he first came to Maple City, it also happened that the old city lord of Maple City was assassinated, and that's when he met Meng Jianli who had just taken office.
Now that he returned to Maple City, he never thought that he would encounter the assassination of the city lord again, and Meng Jianli could not escape this disaster.
I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence that he came here, or if the Lord of Maple City is in a very dangerous position.
In the city lord's palace, Song Changming and others looked at the sand map in Maple City and discussed the next action.
Suddenly the door was pushed open, and a tough-looking man rushed in despite the dissuasion of his guards.
Song Changming felt familiar when he saw the person coming.
This person is none other than the number one general in Maple City who followed Meng Jianli, Chu Wantong.
He has half the blood of the demon clan, which is very similar to Su Qingqing, so Song Changming still has an impression of him.
His body was wrapped in bandages and smelled of herbal medicine. He was obviously seriously injured and was recovering.
But at the moment, he didn't care about his injuries at all, and looked extremely anxious with an angry look on his face.
"City Lord, where is the City Lord!" His voice was rough and a little out of control.
Xing Tiexin and Song Changming looked at each other and somewhat understood the reason for the other party's rash intrusion.
"Who are you?" Yang Zhen asked with a frown.
Song Changming recognized Chu Wantong, but Yang Zhen did not. Such an abrupt intrusion made him quite dissatisfied.
Chu Wantong saw clearly the banner master's armor on Yang Zhen, took a deep breath, and then cupped his hands and said, "General Maple City City Lieutenant, please tell the banner master how the city master is doing now!"
"It's as you heard." Yang Zhen was still worried about Meng Jianli's death and did not want to say more.
But these words made Chu Wantong feel like he was hit hard.
If he had a glimmer of hope in his heart when he heard the news about the death of the city lord before, it was just a rumor.
But at this moment, even this glimmer of hope was completely gone.
Yang Zhengui is the leader of the small flag, so it is impossible to deceive him on this matter.
"If you want to see the corpse, go to the city lord's mansion. Fu Yuan will take him there." Yang Zhen continued.
Fu Yuan on the side nodded in agreement.
Chu Wantong clenched his teeth so hard that his mouth was full of blood without even realizing it. He glanced at Song Changming one last time and followed Fu Yuan without saying a word.
He also remembered Song Changming, but the news of the city lord's death hit him so hard that he didn't want to say anything else.
For several days in a row, Song Changming and others divided their troops into two groups.
While looking for traces of demons outside the city, the other side mobilized garrison troops inside the city to search for demon spies that may have infiltrated.
To prevent the tragedy of Meng Jianli from happening again.
However, the Huali slave clan seemed to have received the news and hid early.
This group of hiding experts made it impossible for Song Changming and others to find any trace of their whereabouts.
Until this day, Chu Wantong approached Yang Zhen and Song Changming.
“I know where those Huali slaves are!”
