twin moon

Under the icy dome, Qi Ziyin and his party, who watched countless shards of ice falling from the sky above their heads, but had nowhere to hide, could only rely on a temporary enchantment that Ning Yue had set up with a magic spell to hold their last breath. It's a dead end.

Lihuo, which flickered on the barrier, burned vigorously at first, and when the icicles as high as half a person fell, they would be melted into a puddle of clear water in just a moment.However, soon, the power of the barrier gradually weakened. Right now, there are countless large and small icicles accumulating on it, just like fat roasted on an iron plate. do.Under the alternation of cold and heat, a layer of ice crust visible to the naked eye actually formed on the top of everyone's heads.

"Ziyin! I can't hold it anymore!"

Under the heavy pressure, Ning Yue's face was like gold paper, and there was a bean of sweat dripping from her forehead. It seemed that she was approaching her limit.However, as soon as she made a sound, the last breath she held in her chest dissipated, and she was no longer able to maintain the enchantment that was already in vain.

Accompanied by the sound of "clang clang", the thin ice shell on the top of the head instantly turned into powder, and sprinkled down one after another.And the shattered ice and deadly sharp icicles that were still falling continuously fell into the crowd who had nowhere to hide, smashing and crushing many people to death.

"Ningyue be careful!"

Seeing the body of the red-haired girl swaying slightly, the young Ye Guogong immediately jumped up and hugged her.But he saw that the other party's knees went limp, and he passed out.

At the same time, the surroundings suddenly darkened, and a huge shadow shrouded from the top of the head without any warning.Qi Ziyin looked up and saw that there was a piece of solid ice with a radius of several feet and a thickness of about a foot, and he slapped it straight on his head and face.

Unavoidable, the young man had no choice but to hold the fainted Ning Yue tightly in his arms, and rolled towards the half of the icicle that almost hit the two of them not long ago.

There was a loud bang, and the ice wall fell heavily to the ground.Qi Ziyin only felt his calf sink, and before he could react, he was pressed down by it, unable to move any more.Fortunately, there was that half of the ice, which created a narrow space for the two of them to shelter in, but it saved a life.

I don't know how long it took before the surroundings became quiet again.Fortunately, although the piece of solid ice that fell earlier made the young Duke Ye unable to move, it did not hurt his bones.In the silence, various voices that had been ignored before slowly drifted into the ears of the young man.During this period, there were groans of the wounded under the ice, calls of the living for help, and even a kind of creepy rustling, which could never be heard.

Qi Ziyin suddenly realized that it was actually countless victims who had been crushed under the ice with only half their lives left, desperately pressing their nails on the ice.But soon, those voices stopped.

"Ziyin... Ziyin..."

The red-haired girl regained consciousness at some point, but she was so weak that she could barely utter a sound.

"I'm here, Ning Yue, how do you feel?!"

The extremely nervous Duke Ye was worried that the other party would be injured, so he groped for a soft little hand in the dark, held it tightly in his palm, and felt that it was not as cold as before, so he was slightly relieved.

"I'm tired... Others - I should have saved more..."

Ning Yue suddenly sobbed.She knew very well in her heart that under such a violent collapse, no more than one out of ten people could survive by luck.She couldn't help feeling a little bit regretful, regretting that she hadn't been able to practice well with her father, otherwise she wouldn't have exhausted her strength so easily and caused many innocent people to lose their lives in vain.

"Don't think so much, save some energy. Our current situation is still very dangerous, we must find a way to get out as soon as possible!"

Qi Ziyin said so comfortingly, but he didn't mention that he was crushed under the ice, and it was very difficult to turn himself over.Even if you want to get away, how can it be as easy as what you say.

In the darkness, clusters of orange-red light and shadows faintly appeared in the young man's eyes.The light was difficult to see through the ice, but it was enough for him to conclude that it was a few torches lit in the darkness.

His heart trembled, and he immediately signaled Ning Yue to keep quiet, and then he heard the sergeants in armor stepping on heavy iron shoes scattered on the ice, still murmuring something in their mouths.

"Be quiet for now—"

Qi Ziyin leaned into his companion's ear and lowered his voice very low.At the same time, after hearing "clank" a few times, the soldiers outside the ice drew their weapons and began to kill people!
Amidst the begging and wailing, the strong bloody smell quickly spread out in the cold air, making one's hair stand on end.At the same time, the young man also felt a warm liquid flowing towards him along the sloping ice surface, gradually soaking the clothes on his back.

The soldier's footsteps gradually approached, and together they turned over pieces of ice shells that were pressing on the person, as if they were looking for something, which made the muscles of the young Duke Ye tense.

Originally, he thought in his heart that it would be great if some survivors could save him and go out with Ning Yue.But right now, he was secretly praying that he would not be discovered.But often the more you are afraid of something, the more you can avoid it, and the footsteps soon stopped beside the two of them.The fire light held high in the soldier's hand also shined on the young man's face through the thick layer of ice.

"There seems to be someone here! Let some strong ones dig out and have a look!"

People outside shouted loudly, but it didn't sound like Yu Li.Although the voice was a little hoarse, there was endless anxiety in the tone, and it was more familiar with peace of mind.

"Is that you, little stammer?!"

Before the young Ye Guo could open his mouth, the red-haired girl in his arms yelled out first.The man outside the ice became obviously more anxious when he heard this, and he immediately joined the soldiers with his own hands to carefully remove the Xuanbing that was pressing on the two of them.

The bright flames pierced Qi Ziyin so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.But he suppressed the discomfort and tried his best to look out through the fingers that covered his eyes.Under the firelight, a heroic figure covered in red armor was standing in front of him.The other party bent down, stretched out a hand with iron fingers, tightly grasped the wrist of the boy in white, and pulled him up:
"Ziyin, Yue'er—it really is you..."

The person opposite had a pair of pure black eyes, as deep as the Chanying Sea under the night, reflecting the sparks of fire like splintered gold.However, when he saw Ning Yue curled up in Qi Ziyin's arms under the ice, he frowned slightly with a scarred brow.

"I heard Ziyin talk about what happened in Yujing. I really couldn't believe it—I thought that after I missed you, I might never have the chance to see you again in this life!"

The red-haired girl also stood up again with the support of the soldiers. Although she was still staggering, her face was full of joy, and her complexion seemed to have improved a lot. Also came to the ghost state thousands of miles away?"

"Naturally, they came here with those man-eating beasts. After all, they shouldn't exist in this world! It's just that I never thought that the two of you would come here—"

The young Hehan said with a blank face, not happy because of the reunion after a long absence.As he spoke, he wiped away the blood stained on Xiao Tianmo's arms.It wasn't until this time that Qi Ziyin noticed that the killing sound he had heard before was not a hallucination, but the murder of the former close friend in front of the dying Peng Guojun.

"Before, I had never seen the flag of Peng Guojun in Luqiu Borong's formation. Why did they chase you? Was the blue light gushing out from under the ice really what I thought—Ziyin, do you still remember? , the fire in Baisha camp that year?"

Jiang Yan just looked at everything around him coldly, as if in his eyes, killing those Peng Guojun who had already been seriously injured and disabled was a trivial matter at all.And what he is concerned about right now is nothing more than how to preemptively strike, and remove all people or things that may threaten him, leaving no one behind.

"The thing that ignited under the ice before is undoubtedly the blue flame of the Peng Kingdom. It's just that these people are not only chasing us, you know that Mulu City has already been breached and slaughtered by the Peng Kingdom army..."

Lord Ye sighed, but he didn't know whether he should enjoy the pleasure of revenge for his great revenge, or mourn for the broken homeland.

"Musky Cottage—is it gone?"

The black-eyed boy was stunned for a moment, as if he was extremely astonished by the change in the old place that occupied almost all the good memories in his memory.Afterwards, the astonishment on his face turned into anger, and he roared like a lion and asked, "Who ordered it, and who is leading the army?"

"I am the general!"

However, before he could finish speaking, he heard someone yelling loudly in the distance, and then several pieces of black ice that had been stacked together were turned over from bottom to top.And what came out from under the ice was Yu Li who survived the landslide:
"That city is a treasure to the few of you, but to me, it is a piece of dung that will never feel bad even if it is destroyed a thousand times or ten thousand times!"

The general in Kuijiao leather armor said, shaking the broad-backed saber in his hand, his eyes seemed to swallow the three people standing in front of him alive:
"I didn't expect the three of you to gather here today! It's just in time for you to save me from looking for it again! It was because of you that I cut off my great future! Today, you want to be with me again." The general went to fight for the strength of the ancestors, so he used his life to come to this knife in the general's hand and ask!"

Facing the naked threat, Jiang Yan didn't hesitate at all, and instinctively took a step forward, blocking his companions behind him, as if he had returned to the first night of the Hungry Ghost Festival when he was in Mulu City. The fight between the inexperienced self and Yu Li in front of the empty Tianshui Lane:

"You are defeated! Back then you lost to me in the Baishaying school, and Qi Shouyu, who you thought was your adoptive father, failed to kill me. Today, you have absolutely no chance of winning!"

"Don't blow the cowhide too much!"

Yu Li sneered, and actually took out a firebolt blunderbuss with a long sawn-off tube from his bosom, aimed directly at Jiang Yan's chest, "Whoever of you three wants to be the first to die, come and try!"

"Right now, you are just one person, one knife and one gun, and it may not be faster than the knife in my hand! You can't stop my Red Flame Army!"

Jiang Yanyu overwhelmed the opponent in terms of momentum, and immediately took another step forward, taking an offensive posture.But he never thought that the moment Xiao Tianmo raised his hand, he saw that the other party actually raised the fire bolt gun in his hand to the sky, pulled the mechanism, and shouted loudly:
"Is it unstoppable? I don't think so!"

There was a loud noise, and a puff of blue smoke rose from the muzzle of the gun, and the light from the fire illuminated everyone's faces, and also illuminated the surrounding area surrounded by mist.At the same time, hundreds of figures appeared from behind him, but they were all short and thin. They were more than [-] "Orphan Army" who came to the bridge at some time and were sincerely devoted to Yu Li.And what they held in their hands was the firebolt gun that had already been loaded and ready to fire at any time!
"The lives of the few of you are really serious. You can escape and ascend to heaven several times. But this general promises that you will never walk out of this ice and snow alive today!"

The Red Flame Army under General Yan has never fought against the Peng Guo Army, nor has he experienced the power of the firebolt gun.Seeing this situation, he did not retreat but advanced.Seeing that the firebolt in the hands of the "Orphan Army" was about to be fired, it was obviously too late to order the formation.In desperation, he could only shout with all his strength:
"The ice under your feet, the ice under your feet can be used as a shield, lift it up quickly!"

After hearing the order, the soldiers of Ye Kingdom, who had just escaped from under the mysterious ice, took the lead in action.The red-armored warriors finally reacted, trying to lift the heavy ice block and stand in front of them.

It was too late and then it was too late, and the firebolt in the hands of the "Orphan Army" on the opposite side was also fired at this moment.The flames ejected from the muzzle refracted countless beams of light on the ice, illuminating the ice cave under the night as if it were day.

There was only a crackling sound, and countless iron bullets formed a deep black shadow between the two armies, as if a burst of iron hailstones had fallen.Thanks to Jiang Yan's timely reminder, nearly [-]% of the iron bullets were blocked by the huge ice that the soldiers were struggling to hold up in front of them, and [-]% of them missed completely.Only [-]% of the projectiles pierced through several ice shields that were not thick enough, killing and injuring dozens of people.

But Yu Li came prepared this time.He knew that the reloading of the firebolt guns was slow, so he actually ordered those "orphan army" to divide the firebolt guns into two batches in advance.When one person fires in front, the other person loads new pyrotechnics and projectiles behind him.

Under the rounds of salvos, although hiding behind the ice can be safe for a while, people are trapped in place, unable to move, and can only watch helplessly as the hard black ice in front of them is bombarded by countless iron bullets. , Cracks appeared, shattered little by little, and could be smashed to pieces in the next round of attack at any time.

Unexpectedly, fate once again played tricks on everyone.No matter Yu Litong's "Orphan Army" who is fully prepared and bent on killing people, or Jiang Yan and others who are guarding against death and showing signs of decline, they can't expect that the half-hanging sky under their feet has experienced thousands of years of frost and snow under their feet. The land bridge that is still standing will collapse!
Perhaps it was the repeated bombardment by the sky fire and thunder before, and the countless black ice that fell from the sky, or it was finally unable to bear the weight of many people crowded on the bridge.On the thick columns supporting the landing bridge, there was a dull and strange sound suddenly, like the last breath of an ancient monster before it died.

Immediately afterwards, the wide bridge deck began to sway from side to side, swaying from side to side like a snake in mid-air, drawing a strange curve.Furthermore, with the rumbling sound, the entire land bridge was like a dead branch broken by someone, and several pieces were broken in the air, and it brought the two sides who were fighting hard on it, and overturned into the abyss-like darkness on both sides!
