The doubts continued until he walked out of the Zibei Water Pavilion and glanced at the Toad Palace at the highest point of the mirage.
He saw the stargazing instruments being slowly put away.
He knew that the instrument existed, but he had never used it.
Although his realm of onmyoji has reached the level of the fourth level of astrology, he is not good at stargazing.
Of course, that doesn't mean he knows nothing. Compared to ordinary people, he can still be called a master of stargazing, but he pales in comparison to a true professional like Luna.
In addition, he himself is not interested in stargazing, so stargazing instruments are just toys for the moon god in his opinion.
However, since boarding the ship, he has often paid attention to the instrument to indirectly observe the movements of the moon god.
Then Luna never used that thing, and he gradually stopped caring about it.
As of today, excluding tonight, Xinghun's memory has been that the broken instrument has been used twice - once when he was injured by a sneak attack by the kid named Tianming, and another time when Yun Zhongjun's Immortal Gathering Pill was damaged.
Shortly after the robbery.
Xinghun didn't know what the cause of those two strange movements was, but it must have something to do with the girl in the Toad Palace, and it must have something to do with the Moon God.
This time, the changes in the stargazing instrument were obviously much greater than last time - it had only rotated twice before, but this time it seemed to be fully operational.
Thinking of this, Xinghun didn't dare to delay. He disappeared from the place in a flash and galloped towards the Toad Palace.
As for the changes in the stars, due to the bad weather tonight and Xinghun's personal habits, he didn't notice it at all.
………………
Just when the Azure Dragon Copper Box was opened, the stars suddenly changed, and the agency Azure Dragon was about to move, some changes quietly occurred in the Eastern Patrol Team.
Tianming, who was in a coma and protected by Gai Nie and others, suddenly moved his fingers.
Shao Yu beside Tian Ming was not unconscious, but his attention was entirely on Gai Nie and others who were fighting outside. He was wondering why he didn't retreat yet, and he didn't notice Tian Ming's little movements.
Outside the melee battlefield, Zhao Gao and Dianqing's expressions changed as they watched the changes.
They didn't notice that Tianming, who was lying far away, moved his fingers, but they sensed the danger.
The next moment, Tian Ming, who was lying on the ground upright, suddenly stood up, raised his black eyebrows, and was wrapped in ink sword energy that was so dense that he could hardly see the person. He instantly broke through the encirclement formed by the nine Tianzi killers and went straight to
Drive away in a carriage.
No one expected this scene. Whether it was the people from the empire or the Mo family, they all had expressions of astonishment at this time.
In the carriage, Ying Zheng, who was basically ignorant of the outside world, suddenly stood up.
After many years, he once again felt the extreme sense of crisis that loomed over his back and the heartfelt fear that came from the bottom of his heart when he was assassinated by Jing Ke.
But there was nothing he could do.
At that time, when facing Jing Ke, he could still try to retreat and dodge, or draw his sword and struggle, but now in the carriage, he had no way to retreat, and there was no room for turning... Even Tian Wenjian, who was always by his side, was not with him at this time.
As for leaving the carriage... Considering the situation when Jing Ke assassinated him last time, Ying Zheng felt that he should not have that much time.
With his mind spinning, Ying Zheng made an instant decision. He suppressed his fear and just looked sideways at the carriage window.
Through the curtains blown by the night wind, Ying Zheng caught a glimpse of the situation outside:
Tianming, wrapped in the rich ink sword energy, rushed straight towards the carriage. None of the nine Tianzi killers could react in time and could not stop him. The only ones who stood in front of him were Zhao Gao and Dianqing.
The two of them were also surprised, but their position happened to be blocking Tianming's path, so they had time to take action.
Zhao Gao took action immediately. The figure flickered, and after a series of afterimages flashed out, his fingers were pinched into claw-like shapes, glistening with blood.
Behind Zhao Gao, the thick blood-colored Qi condensed into two huge Qi arms, maintaining the same posture as Zhao Gao himself, and fiercely grabbed towards Tianming.
According to Zhao Gao's prediction, even if his move could not defeat Tian Ming, who was clearly in trouble, he could at least stop the opponent's momentum and temporarily take advantage of the emperor's crisis.
However, after actually taking over, Zhao Gao realized that he seemed to be dreaming.
As soon as his own energy collided with the opponent's sword energy, it was torn to pieces like weeds on the roadside, and he was completely powerless to resist.
This kid's sword energy at this time is actually sharper than the sword master Gai Nie!?
In shock, Zhao Gao was directly knocked away by Tianming, and his hands were even injured by the sword energy, stained with a layer of blood.
Zhao Gao collapsed at the first touch, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Those Tianzi killers before basically believed that Tianming was able to break through their siege only by surprise, leaving them unable to stop him in time.
Now it seems that even if we take action in time, there is a high probability that we will not be able to stop him.
Of course, the most important thing now is that the only line of defense between Tianming and the emperor is the ceremony.
The figure of the ceremony can obviously bring a sense of security to anyone, but at this moment, no one can say whether this 'copper head and iron arm' can withstand the dawn.
Maybe the ceremony itself is not sure.
But at this time, there was no time to think about this issue.
Dianqing let out a low roar, folded his Heaven-Suppressing Sword in front of him, and rushed towards Tianming.
After a muffled bang, the two collided.
Probably relying on his brute strength, Dianqing successfully blocked Tianming, but it was easy to see from the bulging muscles all over his body that he only barely blocked Tianming.
The ink sword energy emitted by Tianming began to revolve around him at high speed, as if condensed into a storm, constantly sweeping through the double swords of the ceremony.
The effect of this change was very obvious, and Dianqing, who had been reluctant to resist, was immediately forced to slide backwards slowly.
Dianqing let out another roar, and his muscles all over his body were beating like explosions, covered with a faint glazed luster. Then he raised his legs alternately and smashed them into the ground. Dayou dug himself into the ground and took root to stop it.
Tianming means.
The confrontation between the two reached a stalemate again.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Gao quickly stepped forward to attack Tianming again.
Judging from the current situation, the emperor's life seems to be hanging by a thread. However, the more times like this, the more Zhao Gao has to show that he is not afraid of death and sacrifices his life to save others - of course, he cannot really sacrifice his life.
, just think about it.
Then he was directly thrown out by the high-speed rotating sword energy around Tianming. The injuries on his hands became more serious, and the nails on several fingers were broken.
The other Tianzi killers also wanted to turn around and rescue them, but Gai Nie and the others were not stupid. They turned around and entangled them with all their might.
At this time, Tianming, enveloped in layers of sword energy that turned thousands of times, also moved.
Through the storm of sword energy, one could only see his vague figure stabbing forward with the sword, changing the move into an uppercut.
Following Tian Ming's movements, the direction of the sword energy rotating at a high speed like a storm suddenly changed, splitting into two groups in an instant, one on the left and one on the right, curling from bottom to top towards the double swords that were blocking the sky in front of Dian Qing.
The sudden change in the direction of the sword energy changed the direction of the force that Dianqing endured. The Heaven-Suppressing Sword changed from bearing the impact from the front to bearing the impact from the bottom up. The force direction was completely different from the direction of Dianqing's force.
This caused Dianqing to lose his balance in an instant, and the two swords that suppressed the sky were lifted directly. Dianqing could not even hold the handle of the knife, and could only let it fly out.
Without the Heaven-Suppressing Sword, Dianqing could only face the impact of Tianming's sword energy. The dense ink sword energy was like raindrops, pouring on Dianqing, making a dense clanking and collision sound.
However, even so, Dianqing still raised his hands and withstood the storm of sword energy in Tianming, guarding in front of the carriage like a cliff.
At this time, as all the sword energy poured out to attack the ceremony, Tianming's figure was finally directly exposed to everyone's sight.
He had a dazed look on his face, his eyes were open but there was no light at all, as if he was distracted, but his true energy was surging all over his body, and the momentum he erupted was far beyond the normal state.
Facing the unbreakable ceremony, Tianming suddenly drew his sword and took half a step back. He then raised his hand and pointed across Mo Mei's dark sword blade, and stabbed forward again with his backhand.
Endless ink sword energy burst out and rushed towards the ceremony again, seemingly to be blocked as before.
However, this time the sword energy was dyed with a strange color, which seemed to be golden light and blood color.
The effect of this change was very significant. In less than two breaths, the first wound finally appeared on the bronze-like steel skin of the ceremony.
It was very small, very slight, and there was no bleeding at all. Only the red muscles in the gaps were vaguely visible, but this already meant that the ceremony was injured.
In other words, the hard work of the ceremony was broken.
If you want to break through obstacles and practice hard skills, there are two main methods.
One is to attack the cover door, but this method has no effect on the ceremony that has already been completed.
The second is to break it with brute force, which is why the hard work was broken at this time of the ceremony.
There is no threshold for this method, or it can be said that the threshold is very high, because even Gai Nie has a hard time breaking through the ceremony's hard skills, so he can only fight with him.
The hard work was broken, and the ceremony was immediately unsustainable. His whole body was quickly injured by the sword energy, and there were wounds all over.
At this time, Dianqing could not continue to withstand the storm of sword energy. He turned his back to Tianming, took advantage of the impact of the sword energy to rush towards the carriage, directly smashed the carriage with brute force, and covered Ying Zheng in his arms.
, and then immediately dodged aside.
The next moment, Tianming's sword energy completely tore the carriage that had a big hole in it to pieces.
Dianqing's timely escape allowed Ying Zheng to escape the first wave of attacks. However, he was at the end of his strength and was unable to continue. He reluctantly put Ying Zheng down and threw himself on the street.
Zhao Gao and the Six Sword Slaves, who managed to escape from Gai Nie and others despite their injuries, hurried forward to try to stop Tianming.
However, with just one sword strike, all seven of them were repelled by the storm of sword energy, and were injured at the same time, with blood spilling on the spot.
From this point of view, Ying Zheng will die in the next move.
However, at this moment, a strange and eerie low roar suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
Everyone was shaken by the beast's roar, their ears were ringing, and their eyes were blinded. Tianming's legs went weak on the spot, and he fell to the ground unconscious. The ink sword energy that had been so raging and invincible also dissipated in an instant.
The crisis in Yingzheng was lifted, but not completely.
This beast's roar was unfamiliar to many people present because it was not the cry of any animal they knew.
But for some people, this voice is familiar.
But regardless of whether they have heard this kind of roar or not, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is the same word - dragon roar!
At the same time, a huge shadow rose above the dark sky. It could be vaguely seen that it seemed to have wings and a long body, but it was too far away to judge its specific size.
Because the dark clouds covered the moon and the sky was dim, no one could see clearly what the shadow was, but the strange roar sounded again, making people understand that there was a high probability that the thing in the sky was the source of the sound.
Gao Jianli and Xue Nu looked at the huge shadow, their expressions were not very good.
If others don't know each other, it's impossible for them both to know each other.
The shadow in the sky is clearly the blue dragon.
According to the original plan, it was almost time for Master Ban to activate Qinglong.
But looking at this situation, it doesn’t seem like Master Ban is controlling Qinglong...
The two of them looked at each other and didn't care whether there was something wrong with Qinglong - Qinglong was prone to problems.
Gao Jianli quickly took out the signal fireworks from his arms and lit them, followed by a long whooshing sound, and then the fireworks exploded, indicating their current location.
"withdraw!"
After the confirmation signal was sent, Gao Jianli finally stopped entangled and shouted to retreat.
When the others heard this, whether they understood it or not, they all immediately retreated. Among them, Xiaoyaozi and Chen He took Shaoyu and Tianming away respectively.
The actual purpose of this firework signal is not to indicate Ying Zheng's current location, but to tell Master Ban, who should theoretically be controlling Qinglong, that Ying Zheng is still in the convoy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There is no point in locking the position, because Ying Zheng can move very quickly, not to mention Qinglong’s attack, which affects a radius of tens of feet, so there is no need to know Ying Zheng
The specific location of the government.
According to the plan, the most ideal effect that Gao Jianli and the others could achieve was to frighten Ying Zheng away and allow him to evacuate from the convoy alone under the protection of a small group of elite personnel.
If you want to achieve this goal, you must create enough pressure for Ying Zheng to survive as quickly as possible, so that the empire thinks that they cannot ensure Ying Zheng's safety before reinforcements arrive, and they have no choice but to take the emperor to evacuate first.
It can be regarded as a further solution to hide Ying Zheng.
In this way, the agency Qinglong will launch an attack directly at the exit of Xixiang Valley Road, making it easier to confirm the target.
If you can't scare Ying Zheng away directly, then keep pestering Ying Zheng to confirm his approximate location, and at the same time make sure that he does not leave the convoy.
Then the agency Qinglong directly attacks the convoy - the success rate of this plan may not be lower than the former, but there are too many interference items around Ying Zheng when launching the attack, so it is difficult to confirm the success on the spot.
However, Gao Jianli looked at Qinglong's situation and felt that the situation was probably heading towards the third option - Qinglong lost control and just let it happen.
Well... that's it anyway, Master Ban can't do anything about trapping Qinglong, and Gao Jianli can't do anything about it.
He could only let everything happen.
In fact, he and Master Ban had discussed before that the former tycoon Yan Taizidan might have a way to control Qinglong, so he still intends to continue to promote the Qinglong plan.
Moreover, when the machine city was destroyed, it was normal after Qinglong was activated.
But... no matter whether he had any way or not, if it hadn't been passed down, they could only pretend it was gone.
