Chapter 193: A surprise appearance on the Tianbang
“Escort!”
The surrounding soldiers and guards were all frightened and guarded the imperial palace.
On the roof, a bunch of crossbow arrows were fired at the incoming black crows, but they were unable to injure these black crow mist beasts at all.
In the blink of an eye, the black crow flew across the roof, and with a lift of its huge wings, it easily knocked away a group of imperial guards above it.
Just when they were about to lean down and crash into the palace, they saw Duan Fangshuo below him flying up to the roof, slashing out a large area of blazing fire sword energy with his long sword, which turned into rings of fire and swept across all directions.
"What a powerful sword energy!" Song Changming saw this fire-type sword energy from a distance, and his eyes couldn't help but condense.
Sure enough, the second prince still had strong men under his command.
This kind of sword energy is far better than him!
The group of black crows were hit by the fire attribute sword energy, and most of them fell upside down and fell outside the palace.
But there were also a few black crows that were two to three feet tall, resisting Duan Fangshuo's sword energy and flying towards him in the fire.
Two large iron claws under his abdomen grabbed Duan Fangshuo head-on.
It has to be said that this black crow fog beast can withstand this level of sword damage, which is far beyond what ordinary high-level fog beasts can match.
Song Changming estimated that these black crows and mist beasts were probably the last trump card Xiao Yanli held.
Xiao Yanli's own martial arts training, even if he practiced for another fifty or sixty years, he might not have the chance to defeat the second prince.
Therefore, it is understandable that he would go to the wrong side and do whatever it takes to get revenge.
Of course, understanding comes with understanding, but the origin of Xiao Yanli's mist gold, including the black crows, is probably not that simple.
According to what Liu Dingsheng said, it was most likely obtained by colluding with an outside cult and making a dark deal with it.
In addition, including charging this mist gold, God knows how many lives were destroyed before collecting the essence and blood to successfully transform these black crows into mist beasts.
If all of this is true, his sins would be unforgivable for anyone to judge.
Everything, just for revenge.
Today, Xiao Yanli has fallen into extreme paranoia, and it is difficult to turn back.
boom!
With a loud rumbling sound, a substantial sword energy like a pillar of fire rose into the sky, instantly burning the two black crow mist beasts into withered bones.
Duan Fangshuo stood in a corner on the top of the palace, with sword energy lingering around his body, and his eyes were blazing with flames, as if the god of fire had descended!
"So strong!" Song Changming was once again shocked by the lethality of the opponent's sword energy, and was shocked by the power of the opponent.
"The Flame God Sword of the North in the past! Unexpectedly, the warrior in the Heavenly Ranking of the past has now become a lackey of the royal family!" A qi refining master brought by Xiao Yanli suddenly shouted loudly.
Duan Fangshuo had a cold face and remained silent, just staring at the group of Qi-refining enemies below and the remaining Black Soul Crow Mist Beasts in the sky.
"Tianbang warrior." Song Changming suddenly realized.
No wonder this person gave him such a strong feeling. Just the words Tianbang Warrior made people feel the heavy pressure coming towards them.
Even if they are just 'retired players' who have been on the Heavenly Ranking in the past, they are enough to intimidate many strong warriors.
After all, reaching the Heavenly List is an absolute symbol of force.
Song Changming was originally quite optimistic about Xiao Yanli's well-prepared attack. At least it had gone smoothly before. He had recruited such a large group of men, strong warriors, and successfully infiltrated the county town.
He even asked Gu Wenhui to cooperate with him to distract the second prince.
Everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
Until I met Duan Fangshuo.
No wonder the second prince trusted this person so much and tied all his safety to this person.
This person indeed has the strength to be the last door god to protect the second prince.
In the blink of an eye, the strongest black soul crow fog beasts were killed one after another.
This made Xiao Yanli look extremely ugly, and even his breathing became much faster.
He couldn't accept that after preparing for so long, he was going to face failure.
When the Qi refining masters he brought saw such a strong Duan Fangshuo, they felt a faint desire to retreat.
They came together for various reasons and all wanted to kill the second prince, but none of them were as paranoid and crazy as Xiao Yanli.
If something cannot be done, they will not risk their lives to do it.
Xiao Yanli also realized that the situation was unfavorable and was about to be defeated by Duan Fangshuo alone!
“You forced me!”
Xiao Yanli gritted his teeth, his face ferocious and hysterical.
He swallowed the mist gold in his hand, and at the same time, the last few black soul crows instantly lost control, circled in the air, and flew towards him.
Xiao Yanli opened his arms wide, as if he was crazy.
The next moment, one of the fastest flying black soul crows bit his neck directly, and flew into the air with its wings flapping. The remaining black soul crows followed closely behind, biting Xiao Yanli's other limbs, and eating them up in the air!
This bloody scene is shocking.
Song Changming also didn't expect that Xiao Yanli would end up with such a disastrous end when he saw him again.
And this seems to be the ending he chose.
After eating Xiao Yanli's flesh and blood, the last five black soul crows were like blooming flowers, with waves of scorching mist energy coming out of their bodies, which was more intense than before.
Immediately afterwards, a second mutation occurred in these five black soul crows.
More and more messy feathers grow out of them, making them look like dark, flying briquettes.
Among these feathers, strange black tentacles floated, like long whips or venomous black snakes.
Judging from this appearance, it has little to do with the original crow, more like some kind of monster reproduced by deformity.
Although they were no longer under Xiao Yanli's control, these five black soul crows seemed to have inherited Xiao Yanli's last obsession with revenge and still headed towards the palace.
Duan Fangshuo frowned, and slashed out fiery red chains of sword energy in the air with the big sword in his hand, constantly slashing at these second-time mutated Black Soul Crow Mist Beasts.
At night, it was like a series of fireworks exploding.
This time, Duan Fangshuo's sword energy was no longer invincible. When it fell on these five mutated black soul crows, it could no longer be killed directly.
However, when these five coal briquettes came closer, the tentacles were like snake eels, stabbing or curling towards Duan Fangshuo.
Duan Fangshuo slashed with his knife, but he could only cut out a large area of scorching mist energy. He could not chop down these tentacles, and he could not kill these mutated black soul crows.
"What the hell is this!"
Everyone present was surprised by these flying briquettes.
The scorching fog energy gathered more and more, spreading in the air like a large cumulus cloud.
Fang Shuo suddenly rushed out from under the scorching mist energy.
The five black soul crows that could not be killed suddenly changed their direction and all crashed into the palace from the top.
The top of the palace collapsed immediately.
When Duan Fangshuo saw this, his expression changed.
He originally thought that the hatred of these five difficult black soul crows was on him, but he did not expect that they would suddenly fly into the palace with a false shot.
He was afraid that the second prince inside would make a mistake, so he didn't dare to neglect and rushed in immediately.
Soon, the sword energy surged in the palace, and then Duan Fangshuo was seen jumping out of the broken window on the other side of the palace with a person in his hand.
Song Changming could clearly see that the other party was wearing a royal robe, and he knew that the other party was the second prince.
"Finally showing his head!" Song Changming murmured, slowly getting up.
The five coal briquettes flew out immediately after, chasing the second prince and screaming continuously.
It seemed that what he was chasing was not the Black Soul Crow, but the dead Xiao Yanli.
In the blink of an eye, the Black Soul Crow, Duan Fangshuo, and the second prince disappeared.
Only a group of strong Qi refiners were left fighting fiercely.
Song Changming thought for a while, then flew into the palace quietly.
The huge palace was destroyed by the battle just now. The place was in a mess, and there were many dead maids and servants on the ground.
These corpses were all without exception. They had been drained of essence and blood, and were shriveled and rotten in the state of death.
Song Changming didn't pay attention to the corpses and the broken things on the ground. He glanced around and caught a glimpse of some calligraphy and paintings, which seemed to be quite valuable.
There were also some glazed lamps, which seemed to be of great value, but it was a pity that these valuable items had been broken.
"Tsk, what a waste of money." Song Changming, who came here to make money, sighed with some pity.
"Who is it?" Suddenly, a retainer of the second prince rushed into the palace. When he saw Song Changming, whose origin was unknown, he immediately shouted and drew his sword to stab him.
Now that you are in the palace, you are either a guard or an enemy, so you don't need to think too much about it.
Song Changming didn't care. He slapped the doorman with his backhand and instantly made his eyes clear. Without any hesitation, he rolled and crawled away.
Song Changming saw that this palace didn't look like a place to hide treasures, so he didn't stay for long and flew away.
He was not in a hurry to find the whereabouts of the second prince. Taking advantage of the chaos, he planned to wander around other parts of the palace first.
