The main reason why the Evening Elephant Warlock is called a troublemaker is because he is difficult to kill, but difficult to kill does not mean impossible!
Indeed, these troublemakers can Flying Star away with a single thought, without any warning, without needing to form hand seals, incantations, or even circulate spiritual power. In an instant, the Flying Star can take you away, making it difficult even for Transcendent assassins to kill the Evening Elephant.
Quefeng knew that skilled Evening Elephant sorcerers would even establish Flying Star Contract on their bodies beforehand, so that they could be automatically teleported if their bodies were injured. In this case, even the most skilled assassins would be helpless against them, because there was no need for the opponent to react consciously. As long as the body was slightly injured, the spell would be activated. Therefore, assassinating Evening Elephant sorcerers has always been a very troublesome matter.
But that's assuming you don't encounter someone like yourself.
The Quefeng coldly stared at its opponent. The blade of the Quefeng bloodline was poisonous. Although the poison was not as good as the White Phoenix, it was still a top-tier poison. As long as it touched blood, it could kill the throat in a few breaths!
At this distance, is inflicting a wound on the other person even a big deal?
Even among the King Level, Quefeng didn't think anyone could match her speed. Even the Southwest Dragon King, known for his wind magic, might not be faster. If she could escape from a non- Transcendent sorcerer, it would be a truly humiliating disgrace.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Quefeng made his move. However, because he was too fast, the Quefeng was still standing still in the same spot in everyone's sight, without moving at all. This spiritual energy-level light and shadow could no longer capture his speed!
The Ghost General inside Xiao Ping and the others showed the slightest reaction.
A sense of foreboding surged into his heart, but he could see nothing and do nothing. At that moment, the Ghost General inside Xiao Ping knew that if he were the one who attacked, he would have no chance of survival. He should have told Xiao Ping to stand further away.
However, he wasn't entirely hopeless. Although the guy in front of him was powerful, the surrounding environment didn't allow him to move at such a high speed, as it would put a considerable strain on his body. He would most likely only take down the most threatening person first. Although he didn't want to admit it, the most threatening person at the moment was actually Liu Yu, who hadn't yet reached the Transcendent.
Liu Yu felt no warning whatsoever, continuing to smile as he looked at the other side, seemingly completely unaware that the other had already moved.
Seeing this, the fast-moving Quefeng's eyes flashed with a smile. The dagger belonging to the Quefeng's true form appeared in its hand like a black light, and in an instant, it was already pointing the knife at Liu Yu's neck. But just as the knife invaded a tiny space between Liu Yu's body, a strange scene appeared!
The blade seemed unable to get any closer to Liu Yu no matter what!
Spatial array?
The Quefeng's pupils contracted, and she thought to herself: What a brilliant spatial array!
Just as she was about to make a move, Liu Yu's body twisted again and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye. Quefeng immediately understood that Liu Yu had activated Flying Star!
That damn thing, who put this weirdo on him?
The Quefeng gritted its teeth, and the King Chujiang within its body frowned. If Liu Yu escaped, the Flying Star Mark within these soldiers could escape at any time. They had already figured out the details of their side, and if they escaped, they might be able to persuade those who were advancing to besiege them.
He noticed that the Imperial Guard at the South Gate had not yet withdrawn from the city; they were clearly observing the situation!
If these people manage to escape safely and take the intelligence with them, it would be very convincing.
"Kill them all!" King Chujiang gritted his teeth and said.
"Are you sure?" Quefeng frowned.
"Kill them all! Liu Yu escaping alone isn't convincing enough. The Imperial Guard leader at the Southeast Gate is clearly a cautious man. Liu Yu alone can't possibly persuade him to bring the Imperial Guard to fight to the death. If we kill all these people, we can stall until nightfall. By then, our people will have regained control, and the third Ghost Temple in the palace will be ours for the taking!"
"You know my physical condition. If we're going to make a move now, I'll have to use your secret technique. I'm warning you, if you do that, you'll have no way out!"
--
On the other side, Liu Yu, who had arrived outside the southeast gate, was trying to persuade Zhang Hao, but Zhang Hao was clearly not someone who could be easily swayed.
"Although you speak with great conviction, it's not very convincing if only you, sir, come out alone!"
Zhang Hao clearly didn't want to gamble on this. He had personally witnessed Xiao Ping lead the guards in, nearly a thousand men. In terms of overall strength, they were even superior to his own Imperial Guard, and not a single one of them had escaped. Did he really think that he could decide the outcome by leading his own men in?
Am I just kidding myself?
As for Liu Yu being able to get out, isn't that quite normal?
Who in this world can keep this one alive?
"The moment to break this deadlock is here," Liu Yu said, looking at the other man. "You don't believe me?"
"I have no right to doubt Mr. Liu's prestige, but," Zhang Hao looked up at the other man, "Sir, how did you persuade Lord Xiao Ping to go in? Based on my understanding of Lord Xiao Ping, he shouldn't be the kind of person who is willing to die for his country, right? If he knew he would die after going in, I don't believe he would have rushed in so decisively. Most likely, he was tricked into going in by Mr. Liu, right?"
Liu Yu: "."
Young people these days are really hard to fool.
Indeed, Xiao Ping and the others were tricked into going in. Wei Gongxing's plan overlooked one thing: whether King Chujiang had the ability to save everyone after paying a price!
To be honest, he didn't know, but how could a powerful Ghost King truly be completely powerless to retaliate?
Therefore, from the moment Xiao Ping and the others were persuaded by Wei Gongxing to launch an attack, he knew that those guys were very likely not going to come back.
Indeed, he was protected by the spatial array left by Ziyue. When the other party made their move, he was safely teleported back. But the others were not so lucky. He could clearly feel that the moment he was teleported outside, all one thousand priests and guards, along with the three marquises including Xiao Ping, died in an instant!
They didn't even give me a chance to react after they teleported them out.
This was, of course, expected.
Even now, he's unsure if the other side has reached its limit, and sending in another group of people might yield the same result.
Zhang Hao is a cautious person, and he obviously guessed this.
"General Zhang!" Wei Gongxing gritted his teeth as he looked at the darkening sky. "Fortune favors the bold. If we don't act now, we'll never have another chance. The enemy can't possibly be unaware that you're lingering in the city. If you keep wavering like this, and they gain control of the situation, do you really think they won't turn on you?"
"The moment to break the deadlock is here!"
These words made Zhang Hao hesitate for a while, but in the end, after a change of expression, he shook his head. "Sorry. I can't gamble. If I back out now, at least my brothers won't be implicated, and the other side also needs to control the Ghost Army; there's no need for indiscriminate killing."
General Zhang, you...
"Stop talking!" Zhang Hao took a breath and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, but I really can't let my brothers risk their lives to see if they're the next batch of people you're planning to send to their deaths."
Liu Yu frowned. The plan was in place, but he hadn't considered people's hearts. Zhang Hao could have easily led his men to take a gamble, but he hadn't expected that in this day and age, there would still be someone who cared so much about his men.
This is troublesome.
"You're quite the loyal and righteous man. I wasn't wrong about you."
Just as the situation reached a stalemate, a deep voice rang out, and an unexpected figure suddenly appeared not far away.
Zhang Hao was stunned. Wei Gongxing was also stunned. Neither of them expected that this person would actually appear in the capital!
A sharp glint flashed in Liu Yu's eyes as he murmured, "Just as I thought."
