OBS Chapter 440 Why bother?
Chapter 440 Why bother?
The two Jindan guards had already exhausted their strength on the woman and did not have the ability like Deacon Han, so they could barely mobilize some defensive magic weapons.
They could only watch helplessly as the long knife ruthlessly pierced their hearts, but they were powerless and could only feel their lives slipping away in despair.
It was not until Wang Qiye's long sword pierced the second Jindan guard that Deacon Li thought he had seized the opportunity. From this angle, he would definitely be able to gain a great advantage with one slash.
How could he have known that if he knew how Deacon Han's team was destroyed, he might rather take his whole family to the mine to dig for spirit stones than rush over so recklessly.
A small black snake was wandering freely in the soul world, flicking its tongue in and out. The 13 detectives were like bright light bulbs, clearly guiding its direction.
After swimming for a distance, it quietly emerged from the soul world and appeared silently behind a constable.
The amazing thing is that even the two Jindan monks in the team didn’t notice anything.
Dahei bit the monk's neck fiercely. The constable felt a chilling air instantly invading his whole body, as if he had fallen into an extremely cold ice cave.
Then, his body seemed to be frozen, he paused, and then his entire soul was swallowed up, leaving only a shell in the place.
The center of a large formation suddenly died, and the already mottled and chaotic spiritual power in the formation was no longer regulated by anyone. As a result, the spiritual power at the center of the formation accumulated more and more, and the spiritual power of several people around the center of the formation was drained away by it in an instant.
This chaotic spiritual power finally couldn't bear the burden and exploded, breaking up the entire formation. The formation was no longer able to maintain itself and collapsed in an instant.
Deacon Li only had three seconds to react, but this unrivaled chaotic spiritual power that combined the strength of 13 people instantly overwhelmed him.
The mottled and chaotic spiritual energy rushed wildly in his body, and under the backlash of the formation, it was extremely difficult for him to even lift a finger.
Looking at the cold knife getting closer and closer, he revealed a bitter smile and finally understood why Deacon Han's team had died so easily.
However, it was too late now. In this hopeless situation, he simply gave up resistance and let the cold knife mercilessly cut across his neck.
Life ended here, leaving only sadness and helplessness spreading across this bloody battlefield.
"Clap clap-"
It seemed as if a horrible "dumpling rain" was falling from the sky, and corpses fell one after another like falling stars. Wang Qiye was like a ruthless killing machine, rampaging across the bloody battlefield and coldly reaping the lives of the monks.
Dahei rubbed his neck affectionately, as if to seek credit from him.
In this battle, none of these monks' souls escaped. Dahei devoured the souls of five third-level monks in a row, which was a great harvest.
The three guards who were in charge of keeping watch looked at this scene in disbelief. Their eyes were filled with shock and fear. They really didn't understand how everyone could die in just a short while?
The more alert monks in the distance had hurriedly hidden in their rooms as soon as the strange phenomenon appeared in the sky.
Now, they felt the energies in the distance suddenly disappear, and they were so frightened that they trembled all over and lay on the ground without daring to breathe.
The power of heaven is mighty and the great way is unpredictable!
However, there are also some smart people who keenly feel that this may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Taking advantage of the chaos, several shadowy figures rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion. They intended to go there to give a tip-off.
In their opinion, only a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator like the city lord could subdue this terrifying demon and save this situation from blood and chaos.
In the blink of an eye, all the guards and constables were killed, leaving only three monks standing guard at the four corners.
Wang Qiye stretched out his hand, and the storage bags and magic weapons on the ground flowed towards him like water.
After he collected the spoils, he turned around and was surprised to find that none of the three guards who were on guard had escaped. At this moment, they were holding magic weapons and rushing towards him with a determined look on their faces.
"Why bother?"
Wang Qiye stretched out his hand, and the long knife that was stuck in the ground fell into his hand in an instant as if it had a spirit, and then the long knife pointed at the person who came.
There was no trace of panic on the guard's face. Instead, he grinned, as if he was ready to die.
"From the moment you killed that Master Zhou, our fate has been sealed." After saying that, he fired his gun without hesitation, with all his strength, and stabbed forward like an arrow.
Wang Qiye sighed softly, and stepped aside like a ghost. As the two passed each other, the knife flashed, like lightning cutting through the night sky.
A good head flew up instantly, and Wang Qiye fulfilled his wish. The guard's body swayed twice as he rushed forward, and then fell diagonally, like a withered leaf.
The remaining two people were not frightened by the scene before them. They shouted as if to give themselves courage, and then rushed forward resolutely.
Knowing clearly that they would die, these two second-level cultivators still did not hesitate and rushed forward to fight at the risk of their lives like moths to a flame.
Two cold and beautiful sword lights flashed by, like falling cold stars.
The two monks paused at the same time, then fell down with a loud bang, splashing a cloud of dust.
Only the red dripping down the eaves, like a silent storyteller, silently tells of their tragedy.
"Dahei, let these three reincarnate."
There seemed to be a hint of fatigue in Wang Qiye's voice. He slowly inserted the knife beside him, then sat casually on the eaves and looked up at the night sky. The deep night sky was full of twinkling stars, but it could not dispel the complex emotions in his heart at the moment.
The three souls that were originally bound flew over after Dahei released his control. They still had fear on their faces, as if they had just woken up from a terrible nightmare and hurriedly fled from this plague-like existence.
It’s not that Wang Qiye is soft-hearted, but their heroic sacrifice has won Wang Qiye’s respect.
Despite such a huge disparity in strength and knowing they would die, they still resolutely launched a life-threatening attack. This fearless courage moved him the most.
Everyone who was keeping a close eye on the battle situation at Xueyue Tower was waiting anxiously.
However, they hadn't heard any movement for a long time, and they all looked puzzled. Even if there were many wounded, the constables and guards should have come down by now.
Time passed by minute by minute, and no one was seen walking out of Xueyue Tower. Everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, and an ominous premonition came to their minds, fearing that the most unbelievable thing had happened.
That was five third-level monks and 75 second-level monks! With such a strong lineup, not a single one escaped?
Everyone was filled with shock and fear. It was hard to imagine what had happened.
At this moment, everyone remembered the blood-red setting sun in the evening. They didn’t believe it before and thought it might just be an ordinary astronomical phenomenon.
But now, everyone was kneeling on the ground and trembling with fear, as if the setting sun was some kind of terrible omen.
"bang bang bang"
The quiet night was broken by the urgent banging sounds. Several monks were anxiously banging on the towering gate of the city lord's mansion.
They seemed to be grasping at the last straw in the darkness, hoping to get a glimmer of hope and answers from the city lord, a powerful Yuanying, to solve this terrifying mystery.
The guard at the City Lord's Mansion opened the door a crack, an impatient look on his face, his voice carrying a hint of majesty and displeasure.
"Look carefully, this is the City Lord's Mansion. If you disturb the City Lord, you will be furious with the wrath of the Fourth Realm cultivators, and you cannot afford to bear it."
However, the panicked people outside the door no longer cared about much and still shouted bravely.
"Hurry up and inform the city lord that there is a demon causing chaos in Bijiang Ferry, and the law enforcement team has been wiped out."
"what?"
The guard inside the high wall gate seemed unable to believe his ears. As far as he knew, how many years had it been since anyone dared to cause trouble in Bijiang Ferry?
This place has always been relatively peaceful. Perhaps it has been peaceful for too long and some people have forgotten that there are 100,000 troops guarding outside the city.
"It is absolutely true. We have seen it with our own eyes. The demon is still on the roof of the Snow Moon Tower. He has not left yet."
Everyone outside the door looked nervously in the direction of Xueyue Tower and spoke in fear. Especially when they saw the vague shadow on the roof in the distance, they were even more terrified.
Seeing that they were so sure of what they said and didn't seem to be lying, the guard finally realized the seriousness of the matter and knew that something serious had happened. He quickly opened the small door and let a few people in.
"All of you follow me and go see Butler Liu."
After saying that, he hurriedly led a few people towards a large courtyard.
The hurried footsteps seemed particularly clear in the silent night, as if foreshadowing a coming storm.
"Bang, bang, bang, butler Liu, something big has happened."
The guard banged on a wooden door anxiously, and the dull knocking sound seemed particularly abrupt in the silent night.
A light soon lit up in the room, and then a dull and majestic voice sounded: "How can you be so impatient in the middle of the night?"
The guard was extremely anxious at this moment, and his tone became even more urgent: "Butler Liu, go and ask the city lord, something big has happened, the law enforcement team was just wiped out."
"What? The city lord was just invited by the city lord next door, Fu, to play chess yesterday. How come something happened at this critical moment?"
The sounds in the house suddenly became flustered, as if a huge rock was thrown into the calm lake, causing ripples.
The door of the room opened, and Butler Liu came out wearing only a thin nightgown. "Are you telling the truth?"
The guard pointed at the people behind him and said firmly: "They can all testify. If they are false, just kill them."
Butler Liu's face was solemn, as if shrouded in a layer of gloom. "I will light the lantern and inform the city lord. I hope it will be in time."
However, at this moment, the ground began to shake, and then the sound of thousands of troops galloping was heard.
"It's bad, the army has entered the city."
Butler Liu didn't dare to stay any longer and hurried to the secret room of the City Lord's Mansion. His hurried figure gradually disappeared into the night, leaving only an atmosphere of tension and anxiety in the air.
