Novoland: Eagle Flag Chapter 2: Twenty Swords

There was a faint human voice in the distance.

Xi Yan suddenly opened the curtain of the car, across the lake in the distance, the direction of the East Palace was full of voices. It is vaguely where the ancestral mausoleum is located. I don't know how many people are shouting and running, and it is completely chaotic.

"What's going on?" Yi Tianzhan tugged at his collar, with a hideous expression on his face, "What is the agreement between you and that woman? You lured me to wait here. Is Yun Gu Tooth Sword leaving?"

"You don't have to believe me!" Xi Yan pushed his hand away, "but I am a warrior of heaven, and I follow the principles of heaven! It is impossible for her to take away that sword! She is a Charming girl, don't you understand?"

"Charm girl?" Yi Tianzhan was stunned.

"How can an ordinary woman not show signs of aging after fourteen years? She is a charm, and she is more afraid of that sword than anyone else. It would be difficult to get close to a mile around the sword. If she touches the sword, she will be swallowed up by the dragon soul lodged in the sword in an instant! So she has never thought of leaving with the sword for many years. .”

"Then... what shall we do?"

"Break in, I don't know what happened, and there's nothing I can do about it," Xi Yan straightened the reins of the carriage, and the black draft horse neighed and galloped forward.

Rolling smoke poured out of the tomb passage, and the helpless knights could only pour water into it bucket by bucket.

"What's going on?" Xi Yan pushed aside the crowd.

"General!" A commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion knelt down in panic, "Suddenly thick smoke came out from the ancestral tomb, as if it was on fire!"

"To destroy all traces!" Yi Tianzhan leaned closer to Xi Yan's shoulder and whispered.

"Stay here," Xi Yan took a deep breath, "Bring two towels, they will get wet! I'll go in and have a look. If I don't come out after a while, I'll open the sluice gate in the ancestral mausoleum." , Fill the tomb with lake water."

"Let's go down with the general!"

"No need," Xi Yan waved his hand, pointing to Yi Tianzhan behind him, "I and this imperial army are going to lead, we just need to find out the situation of the fire, no amount of people will help, you guys You can’t bring water in.”

He didn't say anything else, took the wet towel and covered his face, lit a torch and stepped into the mouth of the cave. Yi Tianzhan followed him silently.

The scorching hot wind from outside rushed in, and the curtains in the hall were also ignited. Lu Guichen pressed Yuran to dodge behind the pillar, watching the two people in the blood circle attack each other.

In a deadly battle of equal strength, both sides have no skill in wielding weapons, only fighting with speed and strength. The two people waved their weapons left and right, and the tiger teeth and the giant sword splashed dazzling sparks. Violent power is not what humans should have at all, and it is endlessly forced out of their bodies. The skins of both of them were torn apart by their own strength, like beasts battling blood.

"Jimo! Jiye!" Lu Guichen looked at the burning beam above his head and shouted loudly.

Without any answer, Ji Ye just mechanically waved his tiger teeth and approached Youyin.

"It's useless, he can't hear..." Yu Ran shook his head, "He's trapped in the dragon blood curse mark, which is the same as You Yin. This is the most violent blood mark, and they will all be blood mark in the end... ... devour it!"

The ground has been completely destroyed by weapons, and there are rubble everywhere. Lu Guichen couldn't see the movements of the two of them clearly, only the stone-blue sword light and the black-golden gun shadow were flashing and flickering, with blood splashing, every drop of blood evaporated instantly in the air, and the blood mist was swept away. The giant sword absorbed and penetrated into the sword body, and the color of the sword gradually became blood red, bright red, like the pupils of a demon.

Break the circle.

The last circle to break is in your heart.

The light of the gun will split the sky.

Jimo heard Yi Tianzhan's voice, but couldn't hear the impact of Huya and the giant sword. Everything in front of my eyes was like someone else's battle to the death, I didn't feel the pain at all, only the thriving pain in my chest, like a chrysalis struggling to break out of its cocoon, or a snake shedding its skin in pain.

The last circle...the woman's face...the blank eyes...death...those people...

He wanted to free his hand to wipe the blood from his eyes, but he couldn't, the blood flowed down, turning everything in his vision bright red.

It's cold...it's still raining...why is it always raining...why do you surround me...hateful people...

Hateful people!

My mind was pierced by lightning, the last circle was pierced, and in an instant he saw all the circles drawn by Yi Tianzhan fall apart. It's so clean, empty and empty, which is what I want.

Kill those people!

The final shot is... hate.

You Yin jumped up in the air, and Ji Ye suddenly crouched down.

Time stopped for an instant, the position of the gun, the position of the arm, the position of the heart...all have been perfected. Ji Ye charged obliquely, Huya drew meteor-like light trails in midair, and the last circle was broken through in the air.

A fierce gun? Burn the river.

The spear finally pierced through You Yin's shoulder before the giant sword fell, and You Yin and Hime Ye fell to the ground at the same time. You Yin fell down softly, his entire right arm was torn off by the tiger teeth, but no blood spewed out, only half of the snow-white bone stubble was exposed.

Jimo took a few steps back and supported the spear.

"You will always lose," Ji Ye said with contempt, "because you don't know why you want to win!"

He took a step, stepped on a piece of gravel, and slipped a step suddenly. For just a tiny moment, You Yin jumped up. No one could believe that a man with a broken arm could recover so quickly. He raised the huge sword with one arm, and slashed at the top of Ji Ye's head.

Huya's gun barrel caught the edge of the sword, and with a "cha", the gun barrel broke in two! Pushed by a huge force, Ji Ye flew off the ground and flew out of the blood circle.

"Ji Ye! Ji Ye!" Lu Guichen rushed up to support him.

"I...what's the matter with me? I..." Ji Ye seemed to wake up from a dream, his eyes returned to normal, "My head...my head is going to split..."

The sound of footsteps approaching slowly, the burning curtain fell, and the faint figure was erratic in the flames.

Lu Guichen tried his best to take Ji Ye back, but he couldn't hold Ji Ye. He could only watch You Yin approaching helplessly. He felt that he was going to die, and the blood in his body was cold. He thought of Suma and his father, his grandfather, and the people he wanted to protect, but in the end he couldn't protect anyone, including this new friend.

He felt that there was a warm body beside him, side by side with him. He turned his head and saw Yu Ran, who kept shaking, holding his hand with one hand and Ji Ye's with the other.

"Let's go!" Lu Guichen shouted to her.

"I'm going to die anyway," Yu Ran shook his head, "I'm not afraid of dying together."

There was a little warmth deep in his heart, Lu Guichen pushed her, put his shoulders in front of her, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Put down the sword," a soft voice came from above the head, "Don't be afraid, if you are afraid, it will devour you."

Lu Guichen couldn't believe what he heard, he opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a person standing between them and Youyin. It was Su Jieyu, this mysterious woman who always wore a close-fitting and strong black armor, slowly stepped forward to block in front of them, she was not afraid at all in front of the beast-like You Yin.

The hot wind rolled up her long hair, and she slowly approached Youyin, so light that she seemed to be swept up by the wind at any time. Yu Ran looked at this woman inexplicably in astonishment, and smelled the faint fragrance of flowers coming from her nose.

Help me..." A low voice came out of the faint throat, which could not be recognized without listening carefully.

Lu Guichen looked at You Yin blankly, and suddenly found that his face was full of tears.

Tears mixed with the ferocity of wanting to kill, making his face look extremely strange.

Yuyin's arm can no longer be called an arm, it is just a dry bone covered with skin, and the sword in his hand is getting brighter and redder. And the terrible devouring continued, the protruding blood vessels under the skin poured blood into the hilt of the sword one after another, and Youyin's shoulders also collapsed, already sucked dry.

"The Dragon Blood Curse Seal is the strongest blood curse seal. It absorbs the soul of a person and strengthens a person's strength. But it is like a greedy beast. The more you use its power, the more you will be sucked The faster it eats, until it becomes a skeleton." Yu Ran trembled, "The same goes for the walking corpses outside."

"Save me..." You Yin raised his sword towards the woman.

He suddenly raised his sword over the top and rushed towards the woman who blocked him.

The woman jumped up and dodged the faint attack. She passed over the top of You Yin's head, landed on his back, and put one hand on You Yin's shoulder holding the sword.

"You are tired, take a rest." The woman's voice was still soft.

Her hand slid towards the sword along the faintly withered arm, and gently grasped the hilt with the grace of folded flowers. Unbelievably, the faint and violent power was completely restrained by her, and there was no room for struggle at all. All was quiet, and the veins that fed blood to the hilt stopped beating.

The sword is in the woman's hand, as quiet as a child.

You Yin staggered forward two steps and fell to the ground.

"If you can still go, let's go," the woman turned to look at Lu Guichen and the others, "You shouldn't have come here."

"That boy," she pointed at Himeno, "from now on, your whole life will be with fear, you overcome it, or be defeated by it. Picking up the tiger gun was a mistake, let alone Approaching the sword of Dragon Soul."

She knelt down and gently stroked You Yin's head: "Actually, no one is forcing you to inherit your father, why bother to go on that endless road? I promised him but didn't protect him." Okay... I'm sorry..."

You Yin curled up into a ball, "I...I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid," the woman smiled softly, "You have to live well. In fact, everyone needs a lot..."

Her face twitched suddenly: "A lot of..."

Her entire arm suddenly shriveled, much faster than when You Yin was sucked. Her black clothes were stretched tightly on her body with strong elasticity, but suddenly they all burst, and her smooth and jade-like arms collapsed, all flesh and blood were emptied in an instant, and the skin shriveled and stuck to the bones. Then even the dry bones cracked and collapsed, breaking off one by one towards the shoulder, a stream of blood splashed out from the blood hole on the shoulder, and she fell to the ground.

"...Courage." She turned her head to look at You Yin.

The burning door beam fell down and hit the door heavily.

Among the stunned children, Himeno was the first to react. He struggled to stand up, and grabbed Lu Guichen and Yuran's hands: "Go! This place is about to collapse!"

"There is a corridor behind the main hall," the woman said in a low voice, "Always follow the leftmost path."

Jimo froze for a moment, nodded vigorously, and rushed to the door first.

Lu Guichen took a step back and looked at the woman. He felt that he could not save that woman, and he also felt that there was no need to save her. He had seen this woman a few times, but he could vaguely feel that she was waiting for such an ending.

"Help me...help me take him away, okay?" The woman looked at Lu Guichen, "Actually, he is just... a child, he really wants to inherit his father, even though he knows that he will have to pay a high price ..."

Her gaze was still as clear as when Lu Guichen saw her for the first time. Lu Guichen nodded. He went up and put You Yin on his shoulders, and dragged him towards the door.

"Hurry up, Asule!" Yu Ran shouted at the door, "Hurry up!"

Jimo had already rushed out of the hall, looked back, gritted his teeth and ran back.

Lu Guichen suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his waist, the pain pierced his whole body. He lowered his head abruptly, and saw the faint, withered and bony hand inserted into his waist. Youyin returned to her ferocious expression, showing blood-stained teeth!

"Himino..." He stretched out his hand towards Himeno who was running towards him.

It's mine! No one can take it away! "Youyin's hand was embedded in Lu Guichen's waist, dragging Lu Guichen swaying towards the giant sword. He drew the sword, and the ferocious weapon reached his hand, and the blood red became more and more horrific.

"You Yin! Don't hold the sword anymore! Let's go!" the woman shouted.

"The sword is mine, it's mine!" You Yin's tongue licked his teeth, "I've got the power!"

"Youyin! That's the sword of the dead soul! Don't be like your father, don't!" The woman looked sad and confused.

You Yin was stunned for a moment, he stopped there, Ji Ye was still holding a half-cut gun in his hand, but he didn't dare to push forward. You Yin's expression changed, sometimes blank, sometimes vicious.

"I don't want to die...I don't want to die...Save me! Save me!" he cried.

His face convulsed a few times, and a crazy smile appeared again: "I have gained strength, and I can inherit Youshi! I am the greatest warrior, no one can despise me!"

"Don't eat me... don't eat me..." He suddenly begged again.

The sword in his hand can no longer be called a sword. The whole sword seemed to have melted, with a mysterious iron-blue light flowing, and it deformed as if molten iron was boiling, as if something was about to pounce fiercely from it, and something else caught them back immediately. They fight, bite, and devour each other in the molten iron.

The molten iron exploded suddenly, and the iron flow penetrated You Yin's withered arm, wrapping around his arm one after another and spreading upwards. The sword is devouring his body, wanting to merge with him! Ji Ye suddenly understood why the scars on those corpses were so weird. They were not killed by hacking, but when they approached the sword, they were swallowed and torn to pieces by molten iron.

You Yin slashed at the top of Lu Guichen's head with a sword.

The broken spear in Ji Ye's hand pierced You Yin's chest viciously at the last moment, two indescribable roars rolled in the hall, Huya's spear turned into a mass of pitch black with no light at all, and The molten iron invaded an inch away from the spear, circling crazily, tearing Youyin's chest apart, but couldn't get close.

Molten Iron suddenly left the spear, and counterattacked at Youyin, wrapping him completely! This distorted cyan molten iron turned into a huge bubble, fluctuating around Youyin for a moment, and then suddenly closed, blood red appeared in the cyan.

It exploded and shattered to pieces, leaving only broken bones.

Molten iron splashed onto Himeno's body, and debris gathered. The broken spear in Ji Ye's hand fell to the floor tiles, and more and more fragments gradually began to gather into a sword shape, and Ji Ye held the hilt of the sword with his hand. The undulating sword was about to take shape, Lu Guichen pressed the wound on his waist and looked at his friend.

"Go away! Take Yuran with you! Hurry up!" Ji Ye shook his head at him.

"Himino..."

"Hurry up! Touch this thing... I will be the same as You Yin." Ji Ye's hands were already ashes.

"No way!" Lu Guichen took a step forward, grabbed the hilt of the sword forcefully, and pushed Ji Ye hard.

"Asule..." He finally heard the voices of Ji Ye and Yu Ran, and the ending gradually faded away.

No, he is gradually getting away from everyone. Right under his feet, a dark door opened, and he sank into it soundlessly, sealing all light and shadow, sky and earth, but he stood alone in a very deep and quiet place, holding a huge fiery red metal.

"Hahahaha, hehehehe, hehe, hehe, yoha yoha..."

There are many voices laughing in the dark, with a little ecstasy and a little sigh.

"Someone is here again, and someone is here again."

He looked around in horror, countless pale shadows. They surround themselves, laughing.

"Obviously we have guessed the final result, but we still draw our swords generation after generation. Why...why...why..." A voice said outside the crowd.

Lu Guichen remembered that this voice echoed in his ears before entering the hall.

"Come! Come! Go! Go!" The laughing shadows seemed to panic.

Lu Guichen turned around sharply, there was no one around, the shadow disappeared, and the person who spoke was no longer there.

"I'm just afraid of living like this, afraid of those **** scenes, and afraid of dying while crying." The voice is still there, as if cast from the black sky.

"Where are you?" Lu Guichen shouted.

"Look back at me."

He turned around abruptly, and saw **** footprints stretching into the distance behind him. He looked up and saw the man holding a fiery red ancient giant sword in his hand. He melted into the darkness, Lu Guichen couldn't see his face clearly, only a pair of eyes.

"Hold it." The man offered the sword, his voice regal and irresistible.

Lu Guichen stretched out his hand tremblingly, and caught the sword. Terrible scorching heat suddenly poured into his body, as if it was going to explode his blood. He roared with all his strength, and in an instant, life returned to his body, he was full of blood, and his reputation was like a dragon. The sword itself also roared, it wasn't the roar of metal, but like a gigantic ancient dragon standing behind Lu Guichen.

Lu Guichen took seven steps forward, heavily inserted the huge sword into the stone gap in the floor, leaned on the sword and looked forward, as if he was over the whole world.

The two voices converged into a powerful sound wave, which rolled and spread out in the closed tomb, like a violent wind, wrapped in stone chips, and suppressed the flames and rolled them back. Ji Ye and Yu Ran were completely unable to resist, and were immediately stunned.

Xi Yan swung his sword and chopped off the head of the last zombie, then kicked open the stone door with his foot, the sound of a dragon's roar came to his face, and the stone flakes in the strong wind scratched his cheek.

"This is... this is..." He couldn't believe his eyes.

Through the flames, he saw a slender figure standing in the middle of the Yin Temple, leaning on a sacred sword.

"Is this the last person who can inherit Sky Drive?" Yi Tianzhan lowered his silver gun. He was silent for a moment, knelt down, clenched his hands and showed the blue fingers on his fingers.

"Is this the last person who can inherit the Heaven's Drive?" The woman also said softly.

Lu Guichen fell on his back.

The woman stood up and saw Xi Yan's figure beyond the open stone gate. The two looked at each other for a moment through the blazing flame of clear oil. The woman stood up and pushed the three children one by one with her movable arm, and pushed them out of the hall. The burning rafters kept falling down. Standing in the rain of fire in the last days.

There was a faint roar, and Xi Yan's expression changed: "They are starting to fill the lake!"

"What should I do?" Yi Tianzhan became nervous.

"The water will continue to rise, along the upward path, we may float out!"

Xi Yan turned to look at the woman, he could pull her out as long as he walked through the sea of ​​flames, he was not afraid of the flames, nor was he afraid of the collapsed hall, but he felt that the woman was far away from him, so far away that he could never touch her in his life to her hand.

"I'm sorry, I... finally didn't make it to the end." The woman said softly, she didn't know if Xi Yan heard her words.

She turned and walked towards the skeleton, standing beside him, her lips moved slightly, not knowing what to say. The skeleton trembled slightly, and all his ribs opened one by one, just like when You Yin drew his sword. The woman sat on the back of the bone horse with one leg on her side, and leaned up tiredly, her ribs closing one by one. The whole skeleton is fused with her, and they are no longer separated from each other.

The bone horse was still lying quietly on the ground, but for some reason, people felt that it was about to stand up, take its owner and the woman, and slowly walk towards the end of the world with its tail flicking.

Xi Yan understands.

"Sorrow and joy are always without tears. It is white in the world, and the sword becomes ashes."

Seven hundred years ago, this poem that Emperor Yinshi sang to the ghost of Princess Rose suddenly came to his mind. It turned out that every time I came back, the flowers had fallen into the water and the dust had settled down. Although there were so many regrets, I just watched her gradually wither like flowers and leaves.

The burning girder finally fell, cutting off all sight. The stone wall on the side was cracked, and the sound of the water was like thunder, as if the wall of water reaching the sky had collapsed, rolling white foam and pressing on the top of his head.

The turbulent water rolled up Xi Yan completely, and he rushed over to embrace Ji Ye and Yu Ran. The water flooded up and pushed him outward. At the last moment before the fire went out, he saw Yi Tianzhan struggling to save Lu Guichen in the water. He wrapped the ancient sword in a cloak and held both the sword and Lu Guichen in his left hand. In his arm, while his right hand clenched the fingertip tightly, the water washed away the dust on it, and he kissed the iron-colored goshawk that was still spreading its wings after hundreds of years.

Ying Tianzhan put the fingertip on the child's thumb, and helped him clenched his fist.
