twin moon

Chapter 84, Scene Nine

"Now, do you still think you can escape? This general has already ordered checkpoints all over the island to return to their positions. Even if you jumped off this cliff immediately, even if you didn't smash your bones into pieces on those rocks, you would still be the same as that boat. It was the same, and was smashed into pieces of meat by the artillery placed in the fortress!"

Yu Li's voice sounded from behind everyone again.At this time, he led the soldiers under his command to catch up again, and looked at General Yan and his party who were trapped on the observation tower with a playful face.

"Is there any other way out here?"

Jiang Yan poked his head out from his hiding place and saw that the number of pursuers had increased to nearly a hundred. He knew that if he didn't try to escape, he would be the meat of the opponent's plan, so he immediately asked the man behind him.

"There is a way out from the west. It's just——you need to go through the martial arts field where the enemy usually practice."

As Fan Zhen said, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the other end of the covered bridge, but he couldn't help shaking his head——according to the current situation, there must have been a large number of soldiers gathered in the martial arts arena, and running there is tantamount to death.

However, the black-eyed boy showed the appearance of fighting a trapped beast:

"Since there is a way, let's go and see! Even if we still cannot escape death, we must make the other party pay a painful price before taking our lives!"

Jiang Yan's words were resolute, and the killing intent was even more evident in his eyes.At this moment, he is like a lonely tiger that has fallen into a trap. Even if he will break his sharp minions, he will never give away his gorgeous fur easily.

"Little ghost, your appearance reminds me of a person. He was like you when he was young, swimming against the current and moving forward without hesitation!"

Fan Zhen looked the young man in front of him up and down, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and clapped his hands and laughed loudly, as if he was infected by the other party's courage, and rekindled his fighting spirit.

"Others are others, I am me. If you can get out alive this time, next time you encounter such a desperate situation, the person you think of will be me!"

As Jiang Yan said, he swung Xiao Tianmo in his hand and rushed down from the watchtower first.

A group of people followed behind him, covering each other and rushing down the city.Not long after, they saw from a distance that there was no defenders lining up to block the empty martial arts arena in front of them, and everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed.However, the black-eyed boy did not move forward. Instead, he stretched out his hand to signal his companion to stop immediately, and hid himself behind several nearby stone walls.

"Damn, there are no birds in front of you! Such a good opportunity, why didn't you leave all of a sudden?"

A sailor who was eager to get out couldn't help but interjected, urging repeatedly.The black-eyed boy couldn't tell why, but just kept shaking his head:

"I just feel that something is wrong. Now that we have made such a big commotion, the enemy has even used the artillery on the top of the fortress, so how can we not set up defenses here?"

"That's because they didn't expect us to come all the way here! Don't you still plan to take us back?"

The other party shook his head and refused to listen.Seeing the anxious look on everyone's face was beyond words.Qi Ziyin quickly stood by the boy with black pupils:
"Don't worry, everyone. There is a saying in the art of war, and there are six types of terrain: pass, hang, branch, pass, danger, and distance. This martial arts field has a wide view, and it is a place where we can go, and the enemy can come and go. But it is hard to return, and if you are not prepared, you will lose. As the saying goes, if things go wrong, there will be deceit, so we should not show up rashly, so as not to be ambushed by the other party."

Fan Zhen seemed to agree with what he said, and nodded immediately.But the subordinate beside him couldn't hold his breath, he didn't listen to the dissuasion and rushed out of the cover of the stone wall beside him, recklessly broke into the center of the martial arts arena, and shouted loudly:

"I don't understand the art of war you are talking about. But if you continue to delay, the pursuers will be killed!"

Unexpectedly, the man ran straight forward for a long distance, but he did not encounter any obstacles, let alone any armored soldiers hiding in ambush.He couldn't help showing a look of joy on his face, and he didn't forget to turn his head to call Fan Zhen and others to follow.

But just as the sailor was about to pass through the martial arts arena and reach the forest line in front, he heard a sharp arrow piercing through the air, and an iron-black feathered arrow shot directly into his chest, and then came out from his vest!

Jiang Yan and Qi Ziyin's worries were not wrong, it is absolutely impossible for the enemy not to fortify here.As the person hit by the arrow fell limply to the ground, a group of warriors wearing sea snake masks slowly walked out of the forest at the far end of the martial arts arena.They held shining standard weapons and several dark black banners in their hands, like an impenetrable wall in front of the weak six people.

At the same time, Yu Li also led his pursuers to outflank the fortress.The front and rear pincer attacks have already formed a tendency to encircle.

"It's too much of a fuss to make a big deal out of a molehill just to catch a few of us, isn't it?!"

Jiang Yan didn't expect the other party to put up such a battle, but he still didn't give up the last hope. He just hid behind the stone wall and refused to show up. He raised his voice and shouted, hoping to use this to delay time and continue to plan to escape Countermeasures.

"I said, you can't escape. Don't hold back any more. This time, Lord Overseer personally leads the army, and he has something to say to Young Master Ziyin!"

"Lord Overseer—is this matter really related to Uncle Wang?!"

Qi Ziyin was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the dark crowd in front of the forest line.Vaguely, he really saw a short figure in a black cloak standing in front of the army formation.The other party took a few steps forward, took off the hood that covered the upper half of his face, and revealed his true face. It really was Qi Shouyu, Marquis of Jinghai!
Hearing that Qi Ziyin actually called him Uncle Wang, Fan Zhen couldn't help opening his mouth in shock: "You two little devils, what is the origin?"

"I am the young master of Ye Kingdom today, and Jiang Yan is the imperial guard of Mo Ling in the palace. But now is not the time to say these things, we have to find a way to let Uncle Wang relax his vigilance, so that we can have a chance!"

Qi Ziyin responded, but his eyes never moved away from Jinghaihou.While speaking, he suddenly dropped the weapon in his hand, dodged to leave the cover, and walked towards the middle of the martial arts arena full of murderous intentions!
"Ziyin, what are you doing, come back quickly!"

Jiang Yan stretched out his hand to stop his companion, but it was in vain.I could only see the boy with golden pupils and the short and fat prince opposite each step forward, standing still a few steps apart in the martial arts arena, and only each other could hear their voices.

"It's really Uncle Wang! Until just now, I refused to believe that you were the mastermind behind all this!"

"Not this king, who could secretly order Luo Jianli to raise Chi wolves under the general's temple in the west of the city? Not this king, who would know the whole plan of your nephew to join the army this time? Not this king, who else Can you endure for many years and spend huge sums of money on this Hailing Isle to train a navy that is even more elite and powerful than Ye Kingdom's boat master?"

"But hasn't Uncle Wang always tried his best to promote Brother Zixiu's succession?!"

"It's a joke! How could this king willingly support that trash Qi Zixiu? What's even more ridiculous is that the civil and military courts of Ye Kingdom, as well as my brother who is dying of illness, all really think that I am so desireless. After this king leads his army into Mulu City and successfully seizes the throne, the first thing to do is to sacrifice their heads to the flag!"

Jinghaihou suddenly burst out laughing, contempt, resentment and madness were all intertwined on his face, and his eyes were full of coveting and longing for the throne.

"However, for decades, you have been conscientious and conscientious. Why did you rise up and commit such a rebellious thing at this time?!"

"Great treason? Abolishing the elder and setting up the young is the real treason! The seat in the Zichen Palace originally belonged to this king! It's a pity that the eccentric father passed the throne to Qi Heyin. Who will come?" Tell me, why is this? Why! In terms of talent and ability, this king is far above the younger brother. Is it because my appearance was completely destroyed after a serious illness? Now, this king is just giving away what belongs to me. Why not take it back?!"

"However, the matter of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones was decided by the grandfather. What does brother Xiu and the king have to do with it? As the descendants of the Qi family, we should put the country of Ye as the most important thing. Now that the father and king are sick, Uncle Wang can't afford it. I beg you, even if the matter of seizing the throne is imminent, please let him go, let brother Zixiu go!"

Qi Ziyin knew in his heart that the other party had been hiding his secrets for many years. At this time, he must be fully sure of the conspiracy, so he would tell the truth to himself.He also understands that his uncle has too much grievance in his heart, and it is impossible for him to be easily persuaded.Now he begged bitterly, and he only wanted to let the other party let go of the person he cared about the most.

"Stupid! If your royal father really loves you, why don't you abolish that trash Qi Zixiu and make you your son?! You know that before going to sea this time, I beg you to get rid of you. It is the one you wholeheartedly protect My elder brother?! Now my nephew is begging me so much, but he will still try to take your life after he returns. So, are you also willing?"

Jinghaihou understood that if he wanted to succeed in usurping the throne, he must not leave any trouble behind.However, looking at the nephew in front of him who grew up stubbornly under the eyes of exclusion and white eyes since childhood, he couldn't help recalling the injustices he had suffered back then, and he felt a faint feeling of compassion. His throat moved, but he couldn't say anything. Come up with something to say:
"Nephew, you have always been the purest one among the princes... But, this king has already reached this point. Those who refuse to surrender are sworn enemies—"

Before the words fell, Jiang Yan suddenly rushed out from behind the stone wall, and rushed into the center of the martial arts arena with lightning speed.Still drinking high in his mouth:

"Ziyin flash, this is a trap!"

His speed was so fast that the distance between the three of them instantly narrowed to less than ten steps.I don't know if he was worried about accidental injury, but the crossbowman behind Jinghaihou didn't shoot his arrow easily, but just watched the black-eyed boy charge straight towards Qi Shouyu!

But before he raised Xiao Tianmo and killed Yan in front of him, the short and fat prince suddenly disappeared from the sight of the two of them.However, the young man with the knife did not hesitate, but pulled Qi Ziyin who was at a loss, turned around and retreated towards the fortress:
"Ziyin, immediately follow Brother Fan and the others to the highest point of the fortress! It's easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you eliminate the soldiers next to the artillery, we can use that powerful weapon! It's hard to get over the water right now, your Uncle Wang is absolutely useless!" It may be time to turn back. If you want to save everyone, you must try your best to survive!"

Qi Ziyin also understood that what his companion said was correct, but he vaguely felt that Jiang Yan behind him didn't intend to follow, he couldn't help but thumped in his heart, and turned around and asked, "What about you?!"

"Leave me alone, take good care of Yue'er!"

But the black-eyed boy couldn't help his companion's words at all, raised his hand and pushed him towards the back of the stone wall, and then raised Xiao Tianmo in his hand and danced vigorously above his head.

But at this moment, the Marquis of Jinghai retreated to the front of the phalanx without knowing what method he used.Immediately, there was a booming sound of bowstrings at the forest line, and in the blink of an eye, a dense rain of arrows struck from the sky towards the place where the two stood before!
The timing of the black-eyed boy was just right.He danced the Mo Dao in his hand faster and faster, and only heard a crisp metal impact, and shot down all the arrows that were aimed at him to the ground.And Fan Zhen had successfully dragged Qi Ziyin back behind the stone wall of the fortress, and after avoiding the first round of arrow rain, he charged at the pursuers blocking his way with a knife.

"Little stammer, run!"

Ning Yue's voice came from behind, making Jiang Yan's heart tighten, and he couldn't help wondering why the girl didn't leave with Fan Zhen.But the second round of salvo came in a flash, without giving him any chance to think.Only this time, instead of retreating, he ran furiously in the direction of countless iron arrows flying towards him.Because retreating now, the only one left is death.And moving forward, it may be faster than the deadly arrow rain in the sky that day!
The black-eyed boy who raised his knife and rushed forward is now like a brave man sailing into a storm in a lone boat, lonely, determined, but fearless!

At the same time, the second wave of arrow rain had already flown over the young man's head.But this time the volley was several times more intensive than before, no matter how fast Xiao Tianmo in his hand turned, it was impossible to block all of them!
Just at this critical moment, the originally clear night sky suddenly burst into strong winds.A few thick dark clouds floated from nowhere, covering the sky full of stars and a pair of twin moons in an instant.

The whole Hailing Island suddenly fell into a dark night where you can't see your fingers.Jiang Yan could only hear the wind whistling in his ears, covering up all other sounds.The flying arrows, which were already close at hand, were blown out of sight in a blink of an eye. Only a few arrows hit the young man's body, and they completely lost their aim and strength.

The black-eyed boy finally had a chance to turn his head and look towards the fortress where countless torches were lit.In the flames flickering in the wind, the red-haired girl who hadn't gone far rose into the air, like a saint who descended from the sky!Her red hair was set off by the flames even more beautifully, like a flower blooming in the sky!

The dark clouds in the sky collided together, sending out deafening lightning and thunder.The pouring cold rain also came in an instant, pouring endlessly from the top of the head, making it almost impossible to breathe.Suddenly, a flash of lightning struck the towering top of the fortress, knocking down countless huge stones, which made Yu Li and his swordsmen dare not continue to surround them.

One after another lightning bolts continued to fall, gradually enveloping the entire fortress.And the isolated island under everyone's feet also seemed to be shaken by the vision between the sea and the sky, shaking violently like an earthquake!

However, Jinghaihou near the forest line did not show too much fear on his face, instead he muttered to himself as if possessed by a demon:

"That's it! This is the breath that this king has been looking for so hard! People who have inherited the blood of the high priest will never forget it once they have seen the complete breath. It's just that the king never expected that the red-haired This girl is actually the daughter of the first great priest in the Cangyu Kingdom! It's just that she obviously doesn't know how to control the power of the breath - such an astonishing power, one day it will be used by the king before it can exert its true power Come!"

"Lord Overseer, what should we do next?" Yu Li hurriedly led his troops out of the fortress where the rocks fell like rain, retreated to Qi Shouyu's side in a hurry, and asked with all his strength.

"Although it's a pity, this island can't be saved right now! I order everyone to get on the ship quickly. The black ship in the water hole is protected by the water-dispelling curse cast by the king, and it should be able to hold on for a while!"

"What about the red-haired demon girl and the three of them?"

"Don't worry about those children. They know too much, and now the king can really rest assured only after they are dead!"

Jinghaihou took one last look at the fort completely surrounded by lightning, and left surrounded by his soldiers.Not long after that, the whole Hailing Islet sank little by little into the unfathomable black water as he had expected.

Three years after the general's ancestral hall was in danger, Qi Ziyin once again saw with his own eyes the young girl who had been with her day and night, causing such astonishing damage with his own power.He finally began to believe that there was indeed a mysterious and powerful force hidden in his body, but he couldn't even say a word, he just stood there and muttered to himself:

"I never thought that Ning Yue would be the one who cast such a powerful witchcraft and secret technique?!"

Jiang Yan struggled to climb towards the height of the fort amidst the falling rubble.Because only in this way, he can get as close as possible to his companions floating in midair.Only in this way can we find a way to save people!

"Yue'er, Yue'er! The opponent has already withdrawn their troops. If you continue to cast spells, you will kill us all!"

The black-eyed boy roared at the top of his voice.But the girl's face was already as golden as paper, and she couldn't hear what he said at all.Jiang Yan knew what he had to do, so he jumped at his companion without even thinking about it!

Now Ning Yue's body is as hot as a piece of burnt coal, even the clothes all over her body have been ignited.When the raindrops fell on her skin, it was like falling into a hot fire, making a hissing sound.

As soon as he came into contact with her body, Jiangyan's hands and arms were scalded with several blisters, but he refused to let go, and fell heavily to the ground with the girl in his arms.

When I went to look at the red-haired girl again, I saw that the skin all over her body had turned translucent golden, the blood vessels and bones were faintly discernible, and a little bit of blood was oozing from her nose and mouth.Jiang Yan protected him to the death, and yelled at Qi Ziyin and Fan Zhen, who were not far away, who had been stupefied:

"Hurry up and find a way to save people!"

However, everything has been in vain.Before everyone could react, the entire Hailing Island was submerged under the ocean.The wall-like sea water surged up from all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye, and slapped heavily on the cliff, drowning everything, and completely engulfing the inevitable people in front of the fortress.
