In the middle of the night, it rained continuously.
A fierce battle was breaking out at the intersection, with sharp sounds of gold and iron intersecting one after another, and water splashing.
"Bang!"
Finally, there was a muffled sound!
A figure flew away from the rain and fell heavily into the water, splashing large water droplets.
Look carefully through the dense rain curtain.
On the road, I saw a young man holding a bronze compass in his left hand and a mahogany sword in his right hand lying in a pool of water, with blood bleeding from the corner of his mouth. The white sweatshirt on his body was in pieces and had been stained red by his own blood.
The young man's enemy is a three-meter-tall cursed spirit with eight arms.
"call out!"
In an instant, the eight-armed curse spirit lifted a car and threw it heavily towards the young man.
The young man's expression changed dramatically, and he wanted to hide away, but his right leg was broken in the previous battle. Now, let alone hiding, he couldn't even stand up.
Dying?
It is said that countless memories will appear in a person's mind before death, including parents, friends, childhood, etc.
But the young man didn't feel this way at all.
Looking at the roaring cars and the increasingly terrifying death crisis, he had only one thought in his mind:
Am I still a fucking virgin and about to die?!
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a tall figure galloped over, kicked the car away, returned the same way, and hit the eight-armed curse spirit hard, knocking it back several steps.
"呲——"
The next moment, a huge ice cone with a length of three meters and a diameter of half a meter instantly condensed in mid-air and quickly hit the eight-armed curse spirit.
"Bang!"
The ice pick fell heavily and hit the eight-armed cursed spirit directly on its head. While smashing its head into pieces, it also completely penetrated its entire body and nailed it to the ground!
Blood spilled on the road!
"Tick tock, tick tock."
The night is dark and drizzle is blowing in the wind.
The eight-armed curse spirit was forcibly penetrated by a thick ice pick. The ice pick pierced the hard cement road and nailed the monster's body to the road.
Purple-black blood continued to flow down the ice cone, forming a pool of blood on the ground. It was washed away by the rain and flowed in all directions.
More than ten meters away.
A young man, covered in blood, fell to the ground, holding a compass and a mahogany sword, staring blankly at this scene.
What just happened?
The one-level curse spirit... was killed instantly.
Was killed instantly...killed instantly...killed...?!
That is a one-level curse spirit!
Today, among the 100 million extraordinary beings in the world, who can kill a one-level cursed spirit so easily?!
"you……"
The young man looked at the tall young man in black long sleeves in front of him in shock.
He didn't know this powerful man.
But this person’s identity is so obvious that it couldn’t be more obvious!
The world's extraordinary first person!
king!
"You, you, you..."
The young man was speechless for a long time, his face full of shock and fear.
"Who are you?"
Li Guanqi turned around. In the holes of the ice crystal mask, those black eyes looked helpless.
"My, my name is...ah!"
The young man quickly wanted to stand up, but the injury to his right foot made him groan in pain and he fell down again.
"Just sit and talk."
Li Guanqi gathered an ice crystal stool and sat on the road, curiously looking at the young man and... the bronze compass and peach wood sword in his hands.
"Hello!"
The young man swallowed, and then looked at Li Guanqi with excitement, "My name is Gu Chao, and I am a night watchman of Penglai Yucheng Guard!"
"?"
Li Guanqi was a little confused, "Penglai? Yucheng guard? Night watchman? I don't understand."
"Penglai is the name of our organization."
Gu Chao quickly explained: "We, Penglai, have full authority to take over and deal with the curse invasion incidents across the country, and no department is allowed to interfere.
The meaning of Yuchengwei can be simply understood as the office established by Penglai in Yucheng.
Night watchmen are what we are called, because curse spirits like to come out at night, so our duty is to patrol the whole city at night to guard against curse spirits attacking people."
"The late shift that stays up all night..."
Li Guanqi was stunned.
This job can be physically damaging.
"Then what are these two? Sacrificial vessels?"
Li Guanqi curiously pointed to the bronze compass and peach wood sword in Gu Chao's hand.
"Sacrificial weapons? What are sacrificial weapons? These are the magical weapons uniformly distributed by Penglai."
Gu Chao picked up the peach wood sword, "This peach wood sword will automatically absorb spiritual energy to charge. After charging, it can cause double damage to the physical body of the curse spirit."
He picked up the bronze compass again, "This can be..."
"It has the ability to seal nearby cursed spirits, right?"
Li Guanqi took over the conversation.
"How do you know..." Gu Chao was stunned.
"It's a good guess."
Li Guanqi smiled helplessly.
He Xin was pinned under the car and couldn't get out?
Please.
Her special power is to transform. Can she escape easily by turning into the size of an ant?
Therefore, the conclusion can only be that He Xin's superpower cannot be used, so he was pressed under the car and waited to die.
That is to say.
If Gu Chao's bronze compass had not sealed the power of the nearby curse spirit, He Xin would not have died, and there would not have been a series of subsequent butterfly effects. Li Guanqi would not have had to take action to prevent the passenger plane from crashing, thus exposing his identity...
But there is no point in thinking about this.
Li Guanqi has stopped everything.
I guess my identity will be exposed soon.
"What are the specific effects?"
Li Guanqi took the bronze compass and looked at it carefully.
"Three hundred meters in radius."
Gu Chao replied: "Within three hundred meters, all the abilities of the one-level curse spirits will be sealed and can only be used three times. Each effect can last for three minutes. I have just used it once."
"It will be scrapped after three uses?" Li Guanqi asked.
"right."
Gu Chao nodded.
"What should I do if it is scrapped?" Li Guanqi asked again.
"Uh..." Gu Chao was slightly startled, "Send it to Yucheng Guards to get a new one."
"Well, your equipment has been scrapped."
As Li Guanqi spoke, he stuffed the bronze compass into his arms, then reached out to take the mahogany sword from Gu Chao's hand, and put it into his space ring.
"ah?"
Gu Chao's eyes widened, but he didn't dare to say anything.
In fact, these things are useless to Li Guanqi.
After all, it can only be effective against one-level curse spirits, and now that he has broken into the first-level level, Tongyou (red) can completely control one-level curse spirits.
But it’s okay to be tasteless.
Li Guanqi likes these weird things, and collecting them is also a beautiful thing.
"Um... Excuse me, are you really the 'king'?"
Gu Chao looked at him carefully, "We have been looking for you and hope you can join us."
"..."
Li Guanqi was silent for a moment and asked instead: "Who cares about Penglai? Tao follows nature?"
It's easy to make a judgment.
After all, the "national flavor" of these two words is too strong and the correlation is too great.
"right."
Gu Chao nodded quickly, "That's him. Taoism is natural. His real name is Lin Xianbai. He was originally a Taoist priest with a different surname who lived in seclusion in the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain. Now he is our fire protector in Penglai."
"Fire Keeper?"
Li Guanqi was confused, "What kind of new term is this?"
"That's what Taoist Lin said, and it's also part of the Penglai oath."
Gu Chao scratched his head, "I don't know very well, but he said that if darkness will eventually come, then Penglai is the guardian who walks between light and darkness, and will always guard the fire of human civilization."
"And the leader of Penglai is the last and strongest line of defense to protect the fire."
