Chapter 291 The Duel at the Forbidden City (4000 words two in one chapter)(1/2)
The high priest of the Demon Sect and the mountain chief have a solo battle. This is definitely the battle of the century.
The key is that Zhao Xun and the Chang'an soldiers and civilians were unable to see this grand scene, and they felt somewhat regretful.
When everyone's attention was focused on the mountain chief and the high priest of the Demon Sect, no one noticed a swaying figure from the northern barbarians flashing past.
This man is the sword master of Dongyue Sword Pavilion, Wei Wuji, who claims to be the second best sword master in the world.
When Wei Wuji saw the mountain chief being led away by the High Priest of the Demon Sect, he felt murderous for a moment.
With his strength, it is impossible for the destroyed formation in Chang'an City to stop him.
So he should make full use of this time difference to make a big fuss.
If he could sneak into the palace, he would have at least a 50% chance of taking the dog emperor's head.
Of course, Wei Wuji is still very careful...
Because now in Chang'an City, in addition to the mountain chief, there are two extraordinary practitioners.
The first one is Yuan Tiangang, the imperial eunuch of Zhengda Zhou, and the second one is Zheng Jie, the internal eunuch.
Although the absolute strength of these two people is inferior to his, if they join forces, Wei Wuji will naturally not be their opponent.
As a result, if Wei Wuji makes one mistake, he may not be able to get out of Chang'an City.
Therefore, Wei Wuji will definitely not take action rashly. He will treat himself as an assassin and remain in a state of stealth until he is sure of victory.
Wei Wuji was so cautious, which was definitely not good news for Zhao Xun and others.
You must know that Wei Wuji is a super master. If he makes up his mind to hide his whereabouts, it is impossible for anyone except the mountain chief and Yuan Tiangang, a powerful man of the same level, to detect it.
The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. This does not make people feel comfortable.
Wei Wuji was indeed observing in secret.
He is like a predator in the night, lurking as much as possible.
Wait until the opportunity arises, then suddenly appear and kill with one strike.
For him, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He must firmly hold the opportunity in his own hands.
Dog Emperor, today is your memorial day.
Wei Wuji decided to take the head of Emperor Xianlong from his neck to pay homage to his deceased relatives.
After making sure that Yuan Tiangang was not on the city wall, Wei Wuji transformed into a short flying sword and entered Chang'an City without anyone noticing.
No one at the top of Chang'an City, including Zhao Xun, would have thought that Wei Wuji had entered Chang'an City in such a way.
This is really too hidden.
Moreover, another advantage of transforming into a sword is that it can avoid the long restrictions in Chang'an City and is not easily discovered.
This is crucial.
Because there is an early warning mechanism in Chang'an.
The talisman array is the most obvious early warning.
Once there is an obvious fluctuation of breath, the talisman array will have an obvious reaction.
Then the practicing masters in Chang'an City will sense it immediately.
This can definitely be considered a big killer.
The most obvious changes in aura are those of top experts. Of course, top experts have ways to hide their aura.
For example, Wei Wuji could avoid being sensed by the huge talisman array in Chang'an City by transforming into a sword.
Wei Wuji entered Chang'an City and walked slowly on Zhuque Street.
Now the attention of Chang'an's military and civilians is focused on the city head, and almost all troops are concentrated on every corner of the four-sided city wall.
As for the people, they were hiding in their homes and shivering. No one dared to move around at such a time.
When encountering a military disaster, the best way is to hide in the dark, so as to avoid being hurt to the greatest extent.
Of course, this also has a prerequisite.
That means the other party has no intention of destroying the city.
If the other party has a revengeful mentality, once the city is destroyed, it will inevitably face a disastrous end.
Of course Wei Wuji would not hurt innocent people.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he disdains it.
In his opinion, it is really meaningless for a great master of martial arts, a strong man who is the best among all the heroes, to hurt the defenseless people.
Since we want to fight, we should fight to the palace.
He knew there must be an old eunuch of the same level as him waiting for him.
Continuing along Zhuque Street, Wei Wuji arrived at the boundary of the imperial city before long.
The difference between the Imperial City and the Waiguo City is that the Imperial City is the seat of the imperial government.
The outer city is generally a residential area, and in addition to ordinary people, there are also dignitaries.
In comparison, the imperial city's restrictions are more obvious and stronger.
Under the blessing of this kind of restriction, it is difficult for practitioners below the third level to use their fists and kicks.
Wei Wuji is of course an exception.
Because he is a super master, invincible in the world.
He calls himself the second best in the world. On the one hand, he is humble, but on the other hand, he is worried about the guy who is the mountain leader.
Sometimes Wei Wuji even doubted whether the mountain leader was a human being.
Of course, this was not a curse word, but he suspected that the mountain leader was actually a projection of God in the human world.
Because Shan Chang performed too perfectly in every aspect.
Every action, every stage of practice, and even every disciple he accepts seems to have been carefully calculated.
This made Wei Wuji feel a little unbelievable.
If all this is true, how to explain it?
This seems more like the way of heaven than the way of humanity.
Wei Wuji felt it was very unusual.
"Perhaps, I can solve this mystery today."
For Wei Wuji, this trip to Chang'an was of great significance.
Not only was it as simple as assassinating Emperor Xianlong, the dog emperor, he also wanted to see what was so magical about the city of Chang'an.
Why is it that there are so many cities in the world, but only this city is protected by the talisman array?
Why is this city the only one with a population of over one million?
Why can only this city have so many people?
Why is it that only this city enjoys so much praise?
Why can’t East Vietnam do it?
Why can’t Bashu Kingdom work?
Why can’t the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions work?
Why can’t Japan do it?
Wei Wuji felt puzzled.
Gradually, he came to the gate of the imperial city and crossed the restriction with just one step.
The forbidden magic power of the Imperial City is indeed much stronger than that of the Waiguo City.
Under this situation, even Wei Wuji's body appeared a little strange.
This is a perfectly normal thing.
The reason why practitioners are different from ordinary people is that they can use their bodies as a container to communicate with heaven and earth.
The communication style of most practitioners is peaceful.
But there are also some practitioners whose communication methods are simple and crude.
This group of practitioners is the Demon Sect.
The practitioners of the Demon Sect forcibly sucked the vitality of heaven and earth into their bodies.
For practitioners of the Demon Sect, what they have to do is not to communicate with heaven and earth, but to do their best to inject and inhale all the vitality of heaven and earth into their own bodies.
If they themselves were a container, then this container would expand rapidly, and their strength would also increase dramatically.
But there is a problem. Containers always have limits, and practitioners of the Demon Sect are no exception.
