Candle Dragon to the left

Chapter 20 20. Liquidation (4.5k)

A thunderstorm woke up the drowsy old man.

He looked out the window, it was raining heavily.The sound of rain mixed with the sound of thunder, but the house was silent like a dead place, as if the heavy rain separated the house from the world.

"Knock, knock..." There was a sudden knock on the door, and the old man was startled.

The knock on the door echoed, and the old man's heartbeat also fluctuated, as if the knuckles were not knocking on the door, but on his heart.

"Master Li Gan?" A familiar voice came from the door, it was the nurse who had been following him.

This relieved him.

The clan elders in the ancestral land all went to the center of the imperial capital to make suggestions in their own foundations, and they wanted to find a way to deal with the problem of the red dragon.He even let go of his hands and cooperated with those bastards of the Zhao family.There are not many people staying in the ancestral land now. He was too close to the medium that day and was burned by the strange purple fire.After returning from Taihang, my body was like a leaky ball, and my life was passing by rapidly.His medical staff were naturally by his side.

"Go and open the door." He ordered to the people beside him.

After speaking, he felt something was wrong. The place where someone should have been standing guard was empty, only the cold air wandering in the room.

He shuddered violently.

"Knock, knock..." There was another regular knock on the door.

When the old man thought of something, his pupils shrank sharply. A hundred-year-old human spirit never takes chances. He could guess that it was the one from Taihang Mountain.

He stretched out his hand to press the call button, but his wrist like a rotten branch was gently grasped.

That life was standing behind the old man, and Li Gan could feel his scorching breath hitting his back, scalding like a ball of fire.

He sighed, put his hand back to its original position, and pulled out the infusion tube inserted in the back of his withered hand. Since Chi Jiao came here, he was born and liquidated, and he couldn't hide.But as the powerful person who has been at the helm of the Li family for decades, he doesn't want to face the ancient life in the Taihang Mountains with his current sick body.

The old man tried to straighten his body, but he was too old to even straighten up.

The dragon-like creature moved a chair beside the old man and sat down.

The scarlet ferocious tail swung freely behind him.

"Nice meeting, Master Li Gan." Li Xi'an greeted.

The old man stared at the terrifying life beside him. On the other side's handsome cheeks was a pair of eyes burning with golden candles, and on his forehead was a red ancient wood-like horn.The mountain god of Taihang Mountain, Nanzhu.This was the nightmare of all of them, and it was this creature that crushed and crushed the dream of immortality they held in their palms into ashes.

The creature was laughing.

The dark golden pupils narrowed slightly, illuminating the contours around the eye sockets.

"It's finally here..." Li Qian's tone was calm, as if it wasn't him who was about to die.

"You are very calm." Li Xi'an said.

"But what if I could give you a choice?"

"What?" The old man raised his eyelids.

"One, you die, young people live, and two, young people die, you live. How about it, isn't it a great deal."

When the old man met those golden eyes, it was as if a poisonous snake had penetrated into a blood vessel, and the blood in his body became cold.The old man exhaled deeply. This creature was testing human nature, like a high-ranking king overlooking the world, but the lights reflected in the world are all toys for him to laugh at.If the king is interested, it doesn't matter how many actors die, and it doesn't matter how many actors live.

They used to be the pinnacle of power in the world, but now they are ridiculous actors in the eyes of this creature.

"I'll choose one." Li Gan said in a deep voice.

"Why?" The creature continued to smile, "This is not a lie."

"I choose one." The old man didn't say another word, but just repeated his choice.

Li Xi'an got up, dragged the hem of his black clothes to the ground, turned and left.

"So, I respect your choice." The dragon-like creature said, with golden pupils shining brightly in the dark room, "Good night, Mr. Li."

"I also hope you can keep your promise." The old man replied.

The young man was stunned.

"of course."

When he walked out of the house, the raindrops fell on his palms, and the buildings behind him collapsed, like a big invisible hand falling, twisting everything into pieces.

Greedy but selfless, fearful of death but generous to die...

People are as complicated as ever.

…………

In the bustling center of the imperial capital, there are many high-rise buildings.

This is a crowded meeting place. The Zhao and Li families opened the entrance of the meeting place without the slightest concealment. A large number of people flocked to the meeting place. On the surface, it was a business negotiation and cooperation meeting for young people of the two races. In the dark, the clan elders gathered together, the number of people was even more than that of the Taihang Mountain trip that day.

"What did the Gu family say?"

"There's no reply. That's the chassis of the Gu family. Our eyes can't be arranged randomly, so we don't know what the old guys of the Gu family are doing."

"It shouldn't be." Some people wondered, "Old man Gu died in Taihang, and now Gu Qiantao has the right to speak for the Gu family. According to his nature, he will not stop coming."

"It's okay, if the Gu family doesn't come, it won't affect us. The risers of their lineage are all dead. If it weren't for the scarlet dragon, they would have been divided and eaten by everyone. It's a pity, then Mr. Gu and Juejian Gu Chuchu, who wouldn't be the king today."

"The ancient sword Absolute Sword can be fully driven in the hands of that girl, which is enough to be crowned among the younger generation. You have never seen the appearance of that ancient sword killing all over the sky. It is really terrifying."

"It is said that someone saw the one in Taihang Mountain wielding dozens of bloody ancient swords?"

"It's not that I heard and saw that my grandson was beheaded by that thing, and all the ancient artifacts were damaged!"

"In this way, that person can still drive ancient artifacts at will?"

The clan elders were silent, no one wanted to talk about that creature, it was too terrifying, whenever they thought about it, it felt like the shadow of a mountain pressing down on their hearts, making people breathless.

In the center of the magnificent venue, the reporter held up the camera and kept taking pictures of the young man surnamed Zhao, making him smile wryly.

All the people who participated in this grand event were famous and important figures in society, so he had to maintain his manners anyway.

As the current pillar of the Zhao family, Zhao Xingzhou was forcibly dragged out by the clan elders to attend the meeting after enjoying leisure in the hospital.The line of defense carefully planned by the elders of this family is boring and useless in his eyes.He faced that ancient and great life alone in the depths of Taihang, knowing that the current family was vulnerable to him, like a plaything in his palm.In fact, he really wanted to persuade the elders in the family, including his grandfather, to lie flat and resign themselves to fate after all the arrangements.

The one in Taihang Mountain was born, if you want to die, you will be dead anyway.

"Miss Li Shishuang." He nodded,

"Hmm." The woman in the blue evening dress also nodded.The only rising member of the Li family had mature makeup, and her long hair was braided behind her head, looking graceful and luxurious.

sit beside him.

It is different from the style I saw in Taihang last time.The young man secretly compared in his heart.

"I have a bad feeling." Li Shishuang whispered to him.

As the only riser who returned from the Li family's trip to Taihang, Zhao Xingzhou heard that she didn't even care about the ancient artifacts at home in order to escape.

"In a while, I suggest that we run straight away." The woman said surprisingly.

"What?" Zhao Xingzhou was puzzled, the venue didn't look unusual.

"It's raining in the imperial capital, remember Taihang Mountain? Heavy Yu is that messenger, and it's easy for him to find this place. So it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. The sooner you leave this place, the safer it will be." My mind is full of how to run.

"Is it easy..."

Zhao Xingzhou murmured, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure, dressed in a black robe with red patterns, standing in a corner of the venue, his temperament was incompatible with the glitz of the city.People coming and going turn a blind eye to him, and inexplicably bypass him when approaching him. He is like a rock, and the crowd will naturally diverge when they meet him.

As if knowing that someone saw him, the boy raised his head and smiled gently at him.

He was handsome, with a familiar golden glow in his eyes.

Regardless of the doubts of the woman beside him, he talked to himself, his voice trembling a bit,
"Don't run away, he...he's already here."

"What did you say?" The voice of the woman's message was a little higher.

She followed the young man's gaze and saw the smiling young man in ancient clothes, and her heart skipped a beat.

"broken……"

In Taihang, this creature is basically beheading one person face to face, even if you carry ancient artifacts, it will be shredded together with the ancient artifacts.She has witnessed the tragedy of the recovered ancient artifacts at home, and there is even a slight possibility of recovery.As for people?The flesh and bones of the riser cannot be compared with ancient utensils, they are cut like tofu.

Such a terrifying power, even before the creature's transformation, how strong he is now, the woman doesn't know, and she doesn't want to know.If possible, she hoped that she would never meet that person in the Taihang Mountains in her whole life.

While socializing, she strolled towards the edge of the venue.

In my heart, I greeted all the elders in the family, except the master of my own line.She never attends such activities on weekdays, and her cheap brother handles them all.She adheres to a low-key principle, does not cause trouble, is not greedy, retreats when indecisive, and is single-minded about how to go further on the road.

It's all right now, Brother Cheap is proud and arrogant because he engages in some fancy activities every day, and he hasn't kept up with his practice. He went to Taihang and was met by a fierce tiger.This matter spread to her.

She held her breath, let go of her consciousness carefully, and moved to the outside of the field bit by bit.At the same time, he also observed Zhao Xingzhou. This kid sat there motionless, as if he felt relieved after knowing that the one from Taihang Mountain had arrived.

But she represents the ancient family, where is she not the focus?Almost every step she took, people who came out of nowhere would smile at her, toast, introduce contacts, and even matchmakers.

"Wait! What is this...?" Li Shishuang's exquisite brows were locked into a tight knuckle.After she let go of her consciousness, she discovered some abnormalities in the venue. Those gravediggers from their family appeared here.

Those ghosts wandering in the hidden history and reality master some terrible technology, which can excavate the land of spirits and dig the tombs where ancient artifacts are buried.

They wander around in uninhabited places all day long.

Appearing here now?
They have no self-awareness, just a handy tool.But the presence of gravediggers in this square itself should be authorized by the old folks in the clan.

Li Shishuang sensed something was wrong.

"Your girl is very vigilant. We've been so secretive that we can still be found." The camera in the dark corner projected every place in the venue to a closed room.

"Do it in advance, don't let Shishuang have time to use her means." Someone ordered coldly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, granddaughter, I'm so willing."

"Because of this, I know that you must not allow her a moment to react, otherwise it will be difficult for you to deal with her."

At the edge of the venue, Li Shishuang's expression changed drastically.

She heard the beat of the music played in the venue mixed with ancient rhythms, ringing like hollow wind chimes, trying to sweep away the soul!Because of her divine sense, she was the first to notice it.

He took out a tissue with him, and quickly wrote the text message.

This place is shrouded in the melody of chasing souls and killing lives, and the sound transmission can't reach Zhao Xingzhou's hands at all.This is a conspiracy, not only against the Chijiao in the Taihang Mountains, but also against everyone in the venue.

It's crazy!She gritted her teeth.

But in an instant, a sharp edge flashed out from behind her, intending to kill her with one blow.

Li Shishuang turned sideways and kicked off her high heels.

Fold the tissues together and use your fingers as a bow to shoot them out.

"It's amazing." Li Shishuang's reaction on the screen made the old man admire. "Are you willing to give up such an excellent descendant? Old Zhao is even reluctant, and wants to report to his good grandson..."

"What is there to be reluctant about?" The old man surnamed Li glanced at the figure on the seat indifferently. The old man's head was lowered, the temperature was cold, and he had lost his vitality. "Zhao Sheng has a clever plan, and we never thought that we would dare to attack him. In other words, we trust Zhao Sheng, but he actually betrayed our expectations for a little false emotion."

"Wait for us to be immortal, future generations are just for fun."

"Don't keep your hands, that thing can't wait to see blood."

The rhythm undulates, playing a bloody beat.

Li Shishuang watched the people in the field fall down one by one, not only were their souls taken away, but even their blood was stripped away.These social celebrities and the children of rich families did not even have the ability to struggle, so they died in the rhythmic sleep.

A black shadow flashed past, and another sharp dagger sliced ​​across the woman's eyebrows.

At the same time, a bronze long dagger appeared above her head, attacking with astonishing murderous intent, filled with seal characters, it was actually an ancient weapon!
Then the woman's neck was yanked violently and thrown far away.

The dragon-like figure stood in her previous position, casually strangled the attacker's throat, and twisted his neck with force from his wrist.Then he picked up the ancient weapon Chang Ge in the attacker's hand and fixed the shadow behind him on the wall.

The woman held her breath, unable to describe the horrible feeling of oppression.

Suddenly, she realized that there was someone behind her, and when she turned around, it was Zhao Xingzhou, half of his body stained with blood, smiling wryly, the wound healed up with great difficulty this time was replaced by someone stabbing him with a knife. He will die on the spot.

"He..." The woman wanted to ask why the creature in Taihang Mountain saved them.

"Don't ask." Zhao Xingzhou replied. In fact, he didn't know. Who can guess what a king is thinking?Maybe there is a purpose, maybe it's random.

The blood was overwhelming, like a retrograde rain of blood.

"Trouble." Li Xi'an watched the blood in his hand rise from his fingers, it was difficult to keep the blood of one person just now.

He could hear the howling of souls.

The gathering of blood and soul is creating an unknown and terrifying existence.So he couldn't let the two risen creatures die, otherwise the risen creatures' blood and soul, which were so much deeper than ordinary people, would bring about changes to this bloody festival, he couldn't figure it out.No wonder the old man named Li Qian hoped that he would abide by the agreement, did he expect it?

"Why is that red dragon?" Someone in the control room frowned.

"Who knows, it wasn't in the plan."

"The blood energy is more than expected. Let the gravediggers dig the altar. When that person reappears in the world, it doesn't matter if there are any living things here. Anyway, they will be turned into blood food." The old man surnamed Li said in a serious tone.

Li Xi'an heard someone chanting scriptures.

It is very ancient, and the years accumulated in this language are immeasurable.

There were black shadows standing up from all directions, their faces were dull, and they just chanted mechanically.The ancient language is as loud as a bell, and the sound of singing together is like the ebb and flow of the tide.

Now they are being submerged by the tide and are struggling to breathe.

"Buzz!"

The floor of the venue collapsed, sinking 3000 meters down.

The stone pillars towered in all directions, and the darkness was boundless.

But a giant scarlet eye suddenly burst open in the dark midair, the iris twisted and condensed into seal script, an ancient scripture manifested in the pupil of the eye, and the most profound and profound aura enveloped every piece of land that the giant eye saw.

It is Shinichi.
