Chapter 233

"Whoosh!"

A beam of light rose in the East City, shooting straight into the high sky, crashing into the clouds.

Immediately after, it was the second beam, the third beam...

The beams of light rose from different directions, illuminating the East City.

Li Youyi retreated, the first layer of artifact battle clothing on his body was already shattered, and the cheeks and hands exposed outside the battle clothing all had sword energy bloodstains.

Looking at Jiang Ning, her whole body was neat and flawless.

Eight fighting one, still hard to beat.

He raised his sword, looked at the beams of light that suddenly rose in the distance, slightly lost, the ominous premonition in his heart becoming more and more intense.

Logically, Qi Xiao and Shi Shishi had left for a long time, and should have found Zuoqiu Ting... Zuoqiu Hongting in the East City!

But Zuoqiu Hongting had never come to the rescue, which was very abnormal.

Jiang Ning used the "Building Palace" and "Double Wings" battle intent to beat back the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors, and forced Li Youyi into the shadow of a corner with one sword: "I admit, you and the seven little ones joining forces are already very strong, if I want to kill you, I will definitely pay a not small price. But, the attack power of the seven little ones now can threaten me, but absolutely cannot threaten Ge Xiantong."

"What if their combat power increases by another level? For example, all reaching the level of Qi Xiao, Chen Wenwu and the others." Li Youyi said.

Jiang Ning dared not imagine what combat power seven Seventh-Sea pure immortal bodies joining forces would be, even she, likely could only retreat. Because, the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors were more tenacious and harder to injure.

If there were really seven such helpers, it would be completely different!

She fell into hesitation: "Do you have confidence, within three days, to raise them to that level?"

"Should be possible." Li Youyi said.

Jiang Ning sighed suddenly: "Too late, the light beams have risen, I won't hide it from you anymore... the south is a dead end. If you hope to flee back to the South City, borrowing the power of the Jiuli clan and the Zuoqiu Gate to confront Ge Xiantong, you will have no life."

"You don't have these three days!"

"How to say?" Li Youyi asked.

Jiang Ning said: "Tonight, it is not the imperial court, the Far West Ash Region, and Snow Sword Tang Ting attacking the Thunder Heaven Sect and Dragon Gate, but five major factions joining forces to destroy the Zuoqiu Gate."

"The Dragon Gate feigning defeat, the Thunder Heaven Sect defending to the death and breaking defense, are all part of the plan."

Like a thunderclap on a sunny day.

Li Youyi's face changed drastically, feeling worried for Li Ling, Yin Jiu, Shi Shishi and the others in his heart: "Is it because the Zuoqiu Gate is supported by the Jiuli clan and the Zhu Gate, and occupies the main field advantage, with great momentum, so you joined forces to deal with them first?"

"Bang!"

The two constantly changed moves, changing positions.

Jiang Ning wanted to persuade him, very patiently said: "Why is the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival in Qiuzhou Prefecture City? Why is the Zuoqiu Gate willing to take out Qiuzhou Prefecture City as a battlefield?"

"Because this Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival is not a contest for the world, but held for Zuoqiu Hongting alone. At least it was at the beginning!"

"The three young Sons of Heaven, Ge Xiantong belongs to the imperial court, Luan Sheng Lin You belongs to the Far West Ash Region, neither is the Hidden Dragon that the Du'e Temple is looking for."

"Zuoqiu Hongting only proves her ability at the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, completes this trial, and the Zuoqiu Gate can get the support of the Du'e Temple. As for what level she needs to reach to get recognition, only the Du'e Temple itself knows."

"The rest, some are spoilers, some want to be famous, some come for rewards, and some want to beat Zuoqiu Hongting down, so that the Du'e Temple turns to support them."

"Now you understand, why I opposed from the beginning, you participating in the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival? I don't want you to be used by Zuoqiu Hongting, reduced to a chess piece on her Son of Heaven road."

Li Youyi said: "Zuoqiu Ting still has personality charm! If she wants to use me, in the identity of Zuoqiu Hongting, I would actually find it harder to refuse."

"Besides, with the strength I had when I participated in the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, how could I have the qualifications to be used by her? No! Luan Sheng Lin You, Tang Wanqiu, Ge Xiantong, even you have come to the East City, and Yuwen Tuozhen and the others are indeed killing Dragon Gate Wu Xiu, you all don't fear the headquarters stronghold being pulled out to lure Zuoqiu Hongting into the trap?"

Jiang Ning said: "Five major factions, the number of people who know this plan does not exceed ten, the people below are naturally fighting and killing for real."

"If it can't be real enough, if it doesn't come out in full force, if it doesn't pay some price. How could Zuoqiu Hongting, who knows Qiuzhou Prefecture City like the back of her hand, fall into the trap?"

"On New Year's Eve, we wanted to directly defeat her, but she withstood it! Various factions have their own ghosts, their own contradictions and small thoughts, she uses this point, gradually becoming a force."

Li Youyi said: "You lure her to take the initiative, you can tie the five major factions to the chariot, no one wants to be lazy, mutually restraining each other. If the Dragon Gate and Thunder Heaven Sect still want to stay out of it, then the Thunder Heaven Sect and Dragon Gate that have lost their defensive strongholds might really be destroyed by you tonight. This is not five against one, but six sides are all playing games."

"Only when everyone loses their strongholds and has no retreat can they be briefly united."

Jiang Ning stared at him deeply: "No matter what, the light beams rise, the signal for the whole city to attack the Zuoqiu Gate is issued, the South City tonight will inevitably be a sea of blood. The Zuoqiu Gate can persist until dawn, that is already considered powerful."

Li Youyi said quietly: "Perhaps, you still underestimate Zuoqiu Hongting."

Since Qi Xiao and Shi Shishi didn't find Zuoqiu Hongting to come to his rescue, it meant Zuoqiu Hongting had already sensed something was wrong first, very likely, had already returned to the South City first.

A tall black-clothed figure, leaning against the wall, stood in the shadow under the eaves only ten zhang away from the two, merging completely with the darkness, with no aura on his body.

"The imperial court has two people watching you, one is Feng Yin, the strongest in Fengzhou, whose speed is only a line behind mine. One is Zhen Yuyan, a master from the palace, who is proficient in tracking."

"They won't strike you, but will follow you until dawn when Ge Xiantong arrives."

Jiang Ning knew her plan had failed, couldn't seriously injure him, and prepared to let him go.

Because she believed that knowing the Zuoqiu Gate and Jiuli clan were doomed, Li Youyi had nowhere to go, and could only quit the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival.

"The muddy world torrent, rolling forward. You can't stop it either!"

Jiang Ning retracted her sword into the ancestral field.

In the darkness under the eaves ten zhang away, the tall figure smiled slightly, flashed out quickly, and stared at the two who were no longer fighting. Drawing a circle with his right hand, the air seemed to turn into liquid, appearing ripples.

Then, a large piece of blinding hidden weapons shot out from his sleeve, like a ball of fire, flying out from the circular ripples.

After the fire flew out, it made a clattering sound.

Looking closely, it was countless flame scales, like stars of fire, filling the street, the speed as fast as a meteor.

"Golden Scale Fire Rain."

Jiang Ning's eyes changed in shock and she shouted loudly.

In a hurry, there was no time to release the dragon soul and battle intent, so she had to pinch a seal with her palm, propping up a thick defensive barrier with magic power.

Li Youyi pulled out the Ghost Flag, took a big step forward, rotated rapidly, using the flag as a shield, forming a vortex.

The Golden Scale Fire Rain not only had fast speed, but also terrifying penetrating power, piercing through Jiang Ning's magic power barrier and the Ghost Flag propped up by Li Youyi, falling on them.

"Bang bang!"

Jiang Ning wore the Prefecture Governor's official robe, Li Youyi had the Corpse Clothing Soft Armor and two artifact battle clothes.

The two retreated, both only slightly injured.

Li Youyi's two artifact battle clothes were all destroyed, pierced with several holes, immediately stimulating the blood mist and blood-colored scriptures in the Corpse Clothing Soft Armor to protect his body, his eyes observing the surroundings.

Jiang Ning slashed toward the shadow under the eaves, but the sneak attacker had already left.

"Swish! Swish..."

The sound of breaking wind sounded one after another.

Seven figures rushed from seven different directions, each with no expression on their faces, their pupils burning with flames.

"It's the Dead Ash among the Ash Spirits..."

Jiang Ning reminded.

"Boom!"

One of the figures was still far away, when it was hit by Jiang Ning's sword and exploded, turning into fire stars, covering a radius of ten zhang.

Everything within ten zhang was destroyed into powder, turning into a small ash region.

The array light gauze on the buildings on both sides of the street was wiped out, and the fire stars rushed in. The buildings collapsed with a roar, burning in the ashes.

Jiang Ning and Li Youyi performed movement techniques to flash and dodge rapidly.

"Rumble!"

The other six Dead Ash figures surrounded them, turning into six balls of fire.

The fire turned into dust and fire stars again, destroying everything nearby.

"Bang! Bang!"

The two rushed out from the full sky of dust and fire stars, fell to the ground, each spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Jiang Ning was more seriously injured than Li Youyi.

Earlier in the fire, she stood in front, using the Prefecture Governor's official robe to withstand it.

"How is it?"

Li Youyi climbed up, squatting, observing the surroundings with extreme vigilance. Waving his hand, the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors rose into the air, looking for the trace of the sneak attacker.

Jiang Ning suppressed her injuries: "Still okay!"

"See, your cooperation is full of holes, as long as there is a slight opportunity, you will use every means to put your allies to death."

"Da Feng found him! Leave him to me, we can't have any more contact, otherwise you won't be able to explain when you go back!"

Li Youyi dropped these words, stepped on the dragon shadow, and appeared on the roof of the eaves dozens of zhang away.

Reaching out a hand, gathering the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors, chasing into the night sky.

Feng Yin and Zhen Yuyan each performed movement techniques, one in front and one behind, catching up to Jiang Ning's side.

"I'm fine! You have your tasks, go!" Jiang Ning said.

The two imperial court First-Grade experts cupped their fists and saluted, chasing after Li Youyi.

Dragon roars resounded through the night sky, one after another, extremely high-pitched.

Li Youyi's heart was cold, exploding his speed to the extreme, on the inner city wall, catching up to the tall black-clothed figure. The black-clothed figure wore a mask and took out a two-foot-long wooden stick.

"Bang bang!"

One sword and one stick, two figures clashed fiercely on the city wall.

More intense than the clash with Jiang Ning earlier, killing intent and battle intent permeated. Li Youyi put his all into every sword, wanting to kill him.

The seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors accompanied Li Youyi, not attacking, only responsible for preventing the black-clothed figure from escaping.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Youyi accumulated strength, released five battle intent divine shadows, and at the same time five Li Youyi appeared, with rainbow-like momentum, slashing open the sea with one sword.

The black-clothed figure opposite had his eyes change drastically, not caring about exposing his identity.

The stick in his hand was raised to the top of his head, a mysterious and peerless power was released, pulling down a wisp of dark clouds from the high sky of hundreds of meters, like a tornado connecting heaven and earth.

Scriptures emerged on the stick, and after swinging it, the vast clouds followed and surged out.

"Whoosh!"

The Yellow Dragon Sword slashed through the clouds and collided with the wooden stick.

A sword energy shot straight forward, with a bang, breaking the mask on the black-clothed figure's face, leaving a blood line on his handsome face.

The black-clothed figure turned and left, leaping off the city wall, hiding and disappearing into the darkness.

"Is it Dragon Court?"

Just now, a hurried glance, Li Youyi could not determine.

But what could be determined was that a blood line was cut on that person's face, rather than fire stars appearing under the human skin, it was definitely not an Ash Spirit. If Dragon Court hadn't turned into an Ash Spirit...

Then why did he want to kill Zhu Huan?

Li Youyi let out a long breath and turned around.

Feng Yin and Zhen Yuyan appeared one after another.
