Chapter 693

The thirty-feet-tall body was torn into pieces. His head turned into the North Vanquishing King, his torso turned into the Candle Nine, his hands turned into a high-ranked wizard, and his feet turned into Auspicious Ancient.

None of the four high-ranked powerhouses were unscathed. The giant python Zhu Jiu had lost a section of its tail. Jili Zhigu's left side was torn to pieces, his intestines and organs hanging out.

The high-ranked sorcerer's Battle Soul Phantom vanished, and his lower body was nowhere to be seen. The flesh and blood squirmed from the hideous wound, and the bloody light expanded and contracted as if it was breathing, trying to heal the injury.

The King of Zhenbei's body was intact, but it was covered in cracks like porcelain, and blood flowed continuously.

His aura was extremely weak.

"Run, run …"

Zhu Jiu was scared out of his wits. This person was not a Rank-3, but a broken Rank-2.

The four of them were Rank-3 powerhouses of different systems, and their combined aura had touched the threshold of Rank-2, but they still could not beat him.

What did this mean?

The other party was a genuine Rank-2 in his complete state. That was why he had swallowed the Blood Pill to heal part of his injuries and make up for his imperfections. That was why he had such terrifying power.

This was fundamentally different from them. The four of them used quantity to make up for quality, but the other party was a true Rank-2, a powerhouse in this frightening realm.

The giant python twisted its broken body crazily, twisting at the highest speed in its life, and slithered toward the broken city wall.

Lucky Zhigu had fled a step earlier than him. This mysterious expert was too frightening. For a split second, Lucky Zhigu felt the same pressure as his deceased father's from this mysterious expert.

That was the pressure of a Rank-2 powerhouse.

The red python twisted its body, making a loud rumbling sound like a wild beast passing through. However, this terrifying beast's vertical eyes were filled with fear, and it only wanted to escape.

The green giant didn't care about its internal organs being shaken off as it ran and fled in another direction.

On top of the city wall, the Bronze-faced Tribe's barbarians and the demon army were scared out of their wits. They all jumped off the wall and fled in panic.

Even their leader had been defeated. If they did not leave now, they would lose their lives.

The high-ranked sorcerer formed a seal with both hands, and with a sharp whistle, an illusory black shadow descended from the void. It was a giant bird with a wingspan of tens of meters.

It was a bird-type Battle Soul.

It carried the high-ranked sorcerer up into the sky and flew toward the northeast.

At the same time, as a Spirit Intelligence sorcerer, a series of countermeasures flashed through his mind. if the opponent attacked him first, where he would land his punch, and so on.

He had made many self-defense measures to ensure that he would not be killed on the spot.

Of course, with the ability of a Spiritual Wisdom level sorcerer, he knew that it was unlikely that the mysterious master was chasing after him, as his target was the North Garrison King.

He would definitely deal with the North Vanquishing King first, followed by Jili Zhigu, and then himself and Zhu Jiu.

The chances were high.

The pitch-black Dharma Form shrunk inch by inch, returning to the height of a human. However, the twelve pairs of arms and the ring of fire at the back of its head remained.

"North Garrison King, blood for blood!"

Xu Qi An An Xu Xu Xu Stepped Qi, and, and, and Fist, Xu. Jiu, Xiao Xu,

Qi, and, and, the Jiu, and, and, and, and, Xu...

King of Zhenbei's body was torn into pieces, and blood splattered on the ground.

The flesh turned into a wriggling worm, giving off a horrible stench.

Substitution Gu!

Heaven Gu Division's life-saving method. It would grow a Gu in the body, and it would absorb the host's life force and blood, assimilating with the host. In times of life and death, it could protect the host.

This Gu only needed a Gu seed to be implanted in the body, and anyone could use it.

As a prince of Daibun, King of Zhenbei had his own methods to protect himself.

"You can't escape." Xu Qi An roared.

Shen Shu cooperated with the attack, and, for a moment, got back the right to speak. "The sea of bitterness is boundless, turn back to the shore."

King of Zhenbei, who was flying in the air, froze. He moved his neck, as if he wanted to turn back. But, a moment later, he got rid of the Buddhist rules, and continued to escape.

Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent froze, Xu Qi An chased after him, and his twelve hands attacked at the same time, creating an air explosion effect.

At the crucial moment, King of Zhenbei's body burst into a mist of blood, his potential burst out, and he forcefully moved to the side, dodging the fatal punch.

"Come back!"

The twelve hands opened up at the same time, locking onto King of Zhenbei, and pulled fiercely, pulling King of Zhenbei back. The twelve hands grabbed King of Zhenbei's head, arms, and legs.

At this moment, on the city wall, pairs of eyes were looking at this place, at King of Zhenbei, whose life was hanging by a thread.

No one spoke.

The scene was eerily silent.

Pure Qi and blood flowed out of the North Vanquishing King's body. His twelve pairs of arms were like twenty-four black holes, madly extracting his life essence.

"Even though I don't know why you can use the Nation Guarding Sword, you are not a member of the royal family of Daibun. What does it have to do with you?"

Feeling the loss of life essence, the top Warrior of Daibun finally showed a look of despair.

He could understand if the Supervisor wanted to kill him. He could understand if the officials in the court wanted to impeach him.

But this person was not a member of Daibun, and he was not a good person either. He wanted to kill him for the sake of the people of Chu Zhou City.

"What does it have to do with you if I kill you?"

Xu Qi An snickered and said, "You have no justice in your heart, and you only believe in the law of the jungle. Then, I will tell you one thing on behalf of the 380,000 people."

After a pause, he said with disdain, "Actually, you are also an ant."

"No!"

King of Zhenbei let out a desperate cry, like the cry of a beast before its death.

Massacring the city was one of his proudest plans. He used the Blood Refinement Pill to increase his power, and at the same time, he used the Nation Guarding Sword to kill Ji Jizhigu and Zhu Jiu.

Once he succeeded, the world would only remember his glorious achievements and praise him. Who would remember those 380,000 innocent souls?

A city in exchange for two Rank-3 foreign masters, in exchange for a Rank-2 from the Great Emperor, their deaths were worth it.

But it was this plan that killed him in the end.

The King of Zhenbei's roar stopped abruptly, and his flesh shriveled, turning him into a mummy.

Xu Qi An tore off his head and limbs and threw them away.

This tear tore apart a prince, a peak martial artist, half a sixty-year cycle's worth of beautiful life.

The wind blew on his body, blowing away the haze in his heart. He felt his mind was clear, and his conscience was clear.

When Li Miaozhen discovered the Case of the Three Thousand Mile Massacre, Xu Qi An only felt a heavy burden in his heart, but he didn't feel too deeply about it. After all, it was something that happened far away.

Then, he was ordered to Chu Zhou City to investigate the case, and he decided to get involved.

As the truth was revealed, he realized the atrocities committed by the King of Zhenbei, and when he saw the memories of Zheng Xinghuai that night, he made up his mind.

He had to destroy the King of Zhenbei's plan, stop him, and punish him.

It was for the 380,000 innocent lives, and also for his own beliefs. If he swallowed his anger and cowered, it would become a knot in his heart for the rest of his life.

I can't control the world, but I can control the things in front of me.

On top of the city wall, more than 20,000 northern soldiers and hundreds of Jianghu Warrior saw the figure with twenty-four arms on his back withdraw his ferocious energy and bowed to the city below.

Seeing this, Censor Liu suddenly burst into tears, fell to the ground, and burst into tears.

With reddened eyes, the Deputy of the Supreme Court tidied up his clothes and bowed towards the person in the air with the most sincere posture of a scholar.

Yang Yan looked into the distance and bowed to the man in the sky.

Constable Chen bowed.

Centurion Chen Xiao bowed.

More than 20,000 soldiers bowed at the same time.

He bowed to the people who died in the city. More than 20,000 people bowed to him on top of the city wall.

…

After the death of the King of Zhenbei, the power in the north was out of balance. I have to kill another third rank … Xu Qi'an communicated with Master Shen Shu in his mind.

"Two hours … I will go into a deep sleep … Have you decided who to kill?" Master Shen Shu's voice was full of exhaustion.

If he hadn't absorbed the life essence of the King of Zhenbei, Shen Shu would have already gone into a deep sleep.

The twenty-four arms of the Dharma Form could reach the second rank, and Shen Shu only had one arm. This secret art was not something he could use with his broken arm.

"Jili Zhigu."

Xu Qi'an made his choice without hesitation.

Most of the territory of the monsters in the north bordered the Witchcraft Sect, and the conflict between the two sides was intense. Zhu Jiu could stay and fight with the Witchcraft Sect.

Jili Zhigu had to die.

The barbarians had done the most harm to the north of Daibun.

After making his choice, Master Shen Shu took to the air and followed the scent of Jili Zhigu.

…

Above the clouds, a loud laughter sounded. The warlock in white was laughing so hard that he was rocking back and forth.

"The King of Zhenbei is dead. He's finally dead. It's good that he's dead." The warlock in white clapped his hands.

At this moment, a bell-like laughter sounded. The woman in white stepped on the clouds, swaying her hips as she approached slowly.

She was beautiful. Her rhombus-shaped lips were red and alluring, and she had a pair of seductive eyes. Her nose was sharp, and her eyebrows were long and straight.

These exquisite features outlined a sharp oval face, and people couldn't help but think of the words "femme fatale".

Her waist was slim, and her breasts were full. Her body was well-proportioned.

Even the most picky man couldn't find any flaws on her body.

"Is killing the King of Zhenbei part of your plan?" The woman in white asked with a smile.

"You want to know?"

The warlock in white stopped smiling and looked at her calmly. "Why don't we exchange information … Do you know that person?"

The woman in white nodded. "I do."

The warlock in white pondered. "He's the Demon Monk that the Buddhist ambassadors are looking for."

"He's a respectable person."

"What's your relationship with him?"

The woman in white smiled mischievously. "Guess."

The warlock in white did not answer. He was calm and composed.

She sighed and said softly, "I respect him very much."

After that, the woman in white looked at the warlock and said in a soft voice, "It's your turn."

The warlock in white stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the mountains and rivers. His tone was full of confidence as he said slowly, "I'll only tell you two things.

First, I'm the one who bewitched the Yuanjing Emperor to cultivate. Second, once the King of Zhenbei is dead, the Supervisor will no longer be able to stop the rolling trend. As for the reasons and details, I won't go into them. "

At that moment, the two of them looked into the distance at the same time. A figure was riding on a sword, ignoring the two of them.

"This generation's Tenzō Shōnin is quite talented. She's expected to reach the third rank or even the second rank." The woman in white commented. She did not hide her voice.

The warlock in white chuckled and said, "For us, the most anticipated event in the next two years is the battle between the heavens and men."

…

After Xu Qi 'an's figure disappeared from sight, some voices came from the top of the city wall. These voices eventually converged into a river and became noisy and chaotic.

The King of Zhenbei was dead, the Chu Zhou City had turned into ruins, and the north was without a leader. The 20,000 surviving soldiers were lost.

Yang Yan noticed the unusual behavior of the soldiers and shouted, "All soldiers, listen up! I am Yang Yan of Jinluo, the leader of this ambassadors mission.

"Now that the King of Zhenbei is dead, I will take over all the military and political affairs of the Chu Zhou City. Get down from the top of the wall and gather outside the city."

The soldiers suddenly had a backbone. They left the broken wall in an orderly manner and gathered in the open space outside the city.

Yang Yan had followed Wei Yuan when he was young and had participated in the Shan Hai Pass Campaign. He still had the experience of leading an army, so he quickly calmed the soldiers and maintained order.

At that moment, Li Miaozhen arrived on her sword and stopped in the sky above the Chu Zhou City.

The sky was already dark, and it would be completely dark in a few minutes.

She looked down at the ruins of the Chu Zhou City and thought to herself that she was too late. The Chu Zhou City had been destroyed. From the looks of it, there had just been a battle between a high-ranked Warrior in the city.

Li Miaozhen glanced at the ruins and then turned to look at the soldiers gathered outside the city.

"This doesn't make sense …" The young female general with a silver spear and a white horse immediately realized that something was wrong. Logically speaking, such a fierce battle should have been brutal.

There was no way that so many soldiers were still alive.

"Yang Jinluo, what happened in the Chu Zhou City? Where … is the King of Zhenbei? "

Li Miaozhen was hovering in the air not far away from Yang Yan and the others.

Yang Yan had seen her a long time ago. The two of them had met when they were exterminating bandits in the Yun State, so they could be considered friends. However, the Martial Arts Addict was an old-fashioned person. Even when he saw someone he knew, he would only nod slightly when their eyes met.

Hearing that, the Dali Monastery Prime Minister and the others had a strange look on their faces.

Yang Yan explained, "The King of Zhenbei massacred the city. He was killed."

Li Miaozhen's expression was stiff as she stared at him blankly.

Yang Yan nodded, indicating that was what had happened.

"What kind of explanation is that? You are just teasing me. If I didn't know that you are like this, I would have already rolled up my sleeves and beaten you up. Oh, I can't beat the Fourth Level Warrior, then it's fine …" Li Miaozhen mumbled to herself.

The Dali Monastery Prime Minister cleared his throat and added, "At dusk, the northern monsters and barbarians joined forces to attack the city. The leader of the Qing Yan Tribe, Ji Li Zhigu, and the leader of the monsters, Zhu Jiu, came to fight for the Blood Elixir.

"And the Blood Elixir was made by the King of Zhenbei after he slaughtered three hundred and eighty thousand people in the Chu Zhou City. The King of Zhenbei massacred the entire city for his own benefit. "

At this point, the Deputy of the Supreme Court revealed a pained expression. Then, he saw that Li Miaozhen's face was calm, without a trace of shock.

"You don't seem to mind?" The Dali Monastery Prime Minister was a little angry.

"I already knew about it, but I don't know what happened next. Go on," Li Miaozhen said.

"… Okay." The Dali Monastery Prime Minister cleared his throat and told Li Miaozhen the details of the battle in the city and the number of masters who participated in the battle.

The valiant and formidable Holy Virgin of the Heavenly Sects, who was dressed like a female soldier, was completely stunned.

She knew that the King of Zhenbei had massacred the city, so she was not surprised that a high-level wizard from the Witchcraft Sect had participated. After all, Xu Qi 'an had already analyzed the situation and found that the King of Zhenbei had the help of high-level wizards from other sects.

But Li Miaozhen had never thought that the Dao Master of the Earth Sect, the Nation Suppressing Sword, the mysterious woman, and the master who had defeated everyone were also involved in the battle.

Wasn't the King of Zhenbei the one who massacred the city for his own selfish desires, and then the monsters and barbarians fought back?

Why were there so many masters involved? The relationship was too complicated. I need to calm down and analyze it. No, I need Xu Qi 'an … Li Miaozhen felt a little guilty.

"How did you know that the King of Zhenbei massacred the city?"

Imperial Censor Liu cupped his hands and asked.

Li Miaozhen frowned at his reminder. She stepped on her flying sword and flew into the sky. She circled around the 20,000 soldiers and shouted,

"Yang Jinluo, capture the commander, Duke Yongxiu. The King of Zhenbei is the culprit behind the massacre, and he is the King of Zhenbei's butcher knife. He was the one who led the army to massacre the city. "

"What?!"

Not only Yang Yan, but Dali Monastery prime minister and the others also changed their expressions.

They didn't have time to ask for details and immediately cooperated with Li Miaozhen to search for Que Yongxiu. But they couldn't find Que Yongxiu after searching the army and the ruins of the city.

He had already escaped.

Maybe he escaped when the barbarians were defeated, or maybe he escaped after witnessing the death of the King of Zhenbei.

Everyone's attention was on the battlefield at that time. Who would pay attention to Que Yongxiu when they didn't know that he had committed an unforgivable crime?

Not only him, but the King of Zhenbei's secret agent had also escaped.

Everyone was angry, but there was nothing they could do.

Dali Monastery prime minister said, "Thank you for your reminder. If it wasn't for you, we might have overlooked this thief and let him get away scot-free. When the diplomatic mission returns to the capital, I will write a letter of impeachment and issue an arrest warrant to capture him. "

Censor Liu was very excited. "That's right, Que Yongxiu is Duke Huai's best friend. If Duke Huai wants to deceive everyone in the Chu Zhou City, he will need his help. Thank you for your reminder, Daoist Li. Please accept my bow. "

Li Miaozhen is indeed the Flying Swallow Heroine. She must have heard about the Three Thousand Mile Massacre Case or the barbarians' invasion of the border. That's why she came all the way to Chu Zhou City … Compared to her, we didn't know the truth until today. We are ashamed … Everyone in the diplomatic mission was grateful, but they couldn't help but feel ashamed.

There were many people in the diplomatic mission, including the fourth rank Governor of Jinluo Yang Yan, the experienced chief constable of the Ministry of Justice, and the legendary Xu Qi 'an. But in the end, they didn't find anything after being in Chu Zhou City for so long.

Constable Chen cupped his fists and said, "Master Li, Que Yongxiu is the descendant of the founding minister. He is a first-class duke and the commander of the Chu Zhou City. Even in the capital, there are only a few people who have a higher position than him.

"The King of Zhenbei massacred the city in front of tens of thousands of soldiers. But Que Yongxiu … Master Li, please tell me, how did you investigate this case? "

Dali Monastery prime minister and the two censors all looked at Li Miaozhen.

Yang Yan, who was indifferent and lacked passion for other things, also showed a rare desire for knowledge.
