The fireball on the top of the city wall is extinguishing little by little.

The sparks blown into the sky have also been extinguished as the combustible materials have burned out. After the flames have passed, ashes that have been annihilated and turned into powder are flying in the wind.

Looking at the gray snowflakes falling in the sky, Shuangyue finally came to her senses and activated her spiritual thoughts to find the whereabouts of the Yuehua Sword.

Although the impact caused by the fireball was violent and violent, it was not a targeted attack. Yuehua was a magic weapon, so even without the protection of the scabbard, he would be fine if he was hit head-on by this broad-based attack.

Yuehua soon received feedback, and Shuangyue could clearly feel that her magic sword was hovering not far from the city wall.

There is no need to hold a sword, Shuangyue's feet paused slightly before flying up. During the fight, the sword's heart had been confirmed and condensed into a sword embryo. Compared with the realm of ordinary monks, it had reached the Golden Core realm and could already activate the sword energy to walk alone in the air.

.

Yuehua dragged a stream of light in the air back to Shuangyue, and circled around Shuangyue, seeming to be admiring the appearance of its new owner.

"Thank you for the hard work this time. Hurry up and return to the sheath."

Shuang Yue knew that her magic weapon had already given birth to a will, so she did not force it, but pretended to be slightly angry and tapped Yue Hua's sword hilt.

After being educated by her master, Yuehua returned to the scabbard on her waist, quietly like an ordinary fourth-level spiritual weapon.

Seeing Yuehua calm down, Shuangyue closed her eyes for a moment as if listening to something, and then flew towards the fireball above the city wall. From Yuehua's spiritual thoughts, she learned that the fireball in the sky was exactly where Qin Long disappeared.

"Disappear." Shuangyue frowned.

Yuehua's spiritual thoughts are not yet complete, and there is very little information that can be accurately transmitted. Disappearance has many meanings, and death is one of them.

Shuang Yue was unsure in her heart. The fireball gave her a very dangerous feeling. If Qin Long really disappeared from that place, it would probably be a disaster.

She felt very uncomfortable for a moment. Although Qin Long had only had a few contacts with him, it had left a deep imprint on her heart.

His actions and thoughts were like a fluorescent torch, illuminating Shuang Yue's heart that was blinded by darkness. For a moment, she didn't want to lose Qin Long, and she didn't want to lose this torch that brought light to herself.

In front of the fireball, Shuangyue stood blankly. She knew that she shouldn't have false hopes, but when she saw this lifeless fireball, she still felt deep regret in her heart.

"Why didn't I agree to him earlier? Why didn't I kill Jun Cheng and Ding Shixing with the sword embryo from the beginning? In this way, I could deal with the Medicine King together, and Qin Long might not have to die."

It's too late to say everything now. The exploding fireball not far in front of us keeps emitting the scalding heat. The burning air makes Shuangyue only stop a few feet away, let alone the inside of the fireball. There is only

It can be a restricted area of ​​life.

"Frost Moon?"

Just when she was blaming herself, a surprised voice came from behind, and Shi Kai stepped on the waves and quickly approached.

Yuehua made a clanging sound, and half of the sharp sword was drawn out, but was held down by Shuangyue in an instant.

"Senior Shi."

When Shuangyue looked back from the fireball, she had withdrawn the expression on her face and looked at Shi Kai as coldly as before.

There were burn marks on Shi Kai's robes. It was obvious that he failed to defend in time when the fireball erupted.

A trace of doubt flashed in Shuangyue's eyes. Shikai was so powerful that the fireball burst out without any targeted attacks. He should have had enough time to condense the barrier.

Glancing at the water-stained city wall under her feet, she immediately understood the reason. When the fireball erupted, the first thing he chose was not to protect himself, but to help the monks on the city wall form an ice shield to resist the heat wave.

, Shi Kai is indeed an excellent candidate to serve as the city leader.

"Shuangyue... Fellow Taoist, have you seen little friend Qin Long?"

Shi Kai originally wanted to call her his little friend, but when he saw that she was not wielding a sword, he realized that Shuangyue had broken through the golden elixir and the two of them were in the same realm, so it was inappropriate to call her his little friend.

Shuangyue shook her head: "No, Yuehua told me that Qin Long disappeared at the same time as the fireball appeared."

"Disappeared?"

Shi Kai chewed on this word and didn't know what to say. If he died, he would be dead. If he was knocked away, he would be blown away. What would it be like to disappear?

Just as the two of them were silent, a pillar of light shot into the sky outside the city.

"Fire Spear."

Shi Kai looked into the distance with vigilance in his eyes, and his solemn expression and breath all showed that this light pillar was anything but simple.

"What a domineering flame spear. This blow probably contains all the spiritual energy of the golden elixir monk."

Shuangyue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she recognized the fluctuations of spiritual energy. This was a distress signal sent by Kuang Guidou with his lifelong skills.

To save or not to save?

Shuang Yue was still hesitating, but Shi Kai had already flown to that place.

"Come with me quickly. In Shiyu City, the only one who can force Kuang Gui Dou into a desperate situation is that shadow." He obviously also recognized the owner of the flame spear.

"shadow?"

Shuang Yue did not participate in the battle and did not know the final changes.

Shi Kai explained while flying, "Before the fireball appeared, a black shadow sneaked up on Kuang Guidou and stabbed him. That's when the fireball exploded next to Yao Wang. I suspect that the fireball was a magic weapon used by the shadow."

"I originally thought he wanted to save Shiyu City from the King of Medicine, but now it seems that the shadow's purpose should be the human souls of the two of them, the monks in the city, and the demon wolf. He wants to use these human souls to create the divine elixir."

"Brush." ​​Yuehua took out her sheath.

Feijian Yukong's Shuang Yue's speed increased sharply, surpassing Shi Kai and flying straight to the location where the light beam came from just now.

Shi Kai had a look of astonishment on his face, "Hey, fellow Taoist Shuangyue, wait for me. That shadow is very powerful. His short knife can pierce the defense of the magic weapon..."

Shuangyue pursed her lips tightly and allowed Shi Kai's words of warning to be shattered by the strong wind in her ears. She only had one thought in her mind, no matter what the purpose of the shadow was, no matter how strong the shadow was, she would break it into pieces.

.

Kuang Gui Dou's exploding arm turned into a ball of blood mist, sucking both of them into it. The blood mist was vaguely accompanied by miserable howls, and many thin white threads were blown out of the sky, and the howls dispersed into the invisible air.

.

This is his last struggle. Those white thin lines are the human souls that have not been completely refined. After being blown out and losing the protection of meridians and spiritual energy, those human souls will assimilate into the world as quickly as possible. "Shadow"

"If you want to use the human souls he accumulated and purified to create a magical elixir, you have to ask him if he is willing to fight ghosts.

If the previous flame spear only consumed some human souls, the current self-destructing arm is undoubtedly a catastrophic blow to "Shadow".

The human souls of Kuang Gui Dou and Yao Wang are the top priority for him to advance to the Golden Elixir.

Especially Kuang Gui Dou, as the Medicine King Cauldron, the human souls accumulated in his body are in an extremely high state in terms of quantity and quality.

Of course, a Kuanggui Dou cannot be compared with the monks in Shiyu City and the demon wolves outside the city. That is the real big head, but it is also the real poison to "Shadow" because "Shadow" cannot collect those amounts.

Broad human soul.

Killing people and taking their souls didn't pose any psychological barrier to him. What he was worried about was being discovered by the monks in the city when he was collecting people's souls.

The skill practiced by "Shadow" is to transform into a shadow. Many methods need to rely on shadows to perform. This skill is unpredictable and good at sneak attacks. It can be invincible when one fights one, or one fights two.

If you can't fight, you won't be easy to track if you run away.

This is also the biggest disadvantage of turning into a shadow. As the number of monks increases, the power of the turning into a shadow will be greatly reduced. There is no doubt that he can kill a few more monks based on his advanced cultivation, but that will also expose the weaknesses of his technique.

When everyone starts to be wary of the shadow, it will be difficult for him to kill people, and it costs a lot to turn into a shadow each time. Once surrounded by people, he can only run away.

"Kang Gui Dou! You deserve to die!!"

"Shadow" was so angry that he slashed with his sword and cut Kuang Gui Dou's neck. He didn't bother to check his space bag, and hurriedly activated the jade pendant to collect the human souls that had not completely dissipated.

Because of his extremely fast movements, less than one-third of the human soul that could be retrieved was already less than one-third. This one-third was still incompletely purified human soul. If it were directly swallowed, it would be at least half-mad, or worse, death.

"One third, plus Medicine King's human soul is not enough to open the door to the divine elixir. At most, it can only allow me to advance my cultivation to half a step to the divine elixir. After all, it is still half a step away."

"Shadow" didn't expect Kuang Gui Dou to be so decisive, and sighed inwardly. Looking at the jade pendant containing the human soul in his palm, he couldn't help but sigh with some disappointment.

"By the way, Rou'er said that there is a human-soul demon tiger in the mountain valley near Nanling. That demon tiger can only be condensed by gathering many human souls. If you kill it and take the soul, it may be able to complete the remaining realm."

As Medicine King's confidant, "Shadow" knows many of his secrets, and Human Soul Tiger is one of them.

The Medicine King's realm is stuck at the peak of the golden elixir. If he wants to become a god, he needs an extremely large number of human souls. This is where the massacre of the city originated.

However, it is impossible to capture Shiyu City with only a large number of demon wolves. With the city wall as a barrier, the martial fire monk can use all his firepower to deal with the demon wolves in the city. Even if he kills all the demon wolves, he may not be able to successfully enter the city.

Therefore, in order to make the massacre of the city go smoothly, King Yao had set up two plans from the beginning, and using Shikai to help the demon wolf was only one of them.

Shi Kai and Yao Wang have had a long-standing feud. As long as there is a little bit of news about the massacre plan, he will come to destroy it. Yao Wang wanted to take the initiative to release the news, but he didn't expect Shuang Yue to be more active than him. This is just like

In order to fulfill the wish of the Medicine King, it would also prevent the whole plan from being flawless. It seems that Shuangyue actually helped the Medicine King.

But Shi Kai is a variable after all. If King Yao makes a desperate move, if something happens and he fails to arrive in time, the plan to massacre the city will suffer a devastating blow. He can't let the demon wolf stop in the middle of attacking the city and wait for others.

It's a little too obvious.
