Hechi City.

"kill!"

After a short rest, the Wei army launched another fierce attack. The Qin army defended the city wall to the death. The fierce battle between the two sides was no less than the Battle of Xuanyuan Pass.

In the sky, dark clouds rolled and the loud noises were like thunder.

Swish swish!
Thousands of sword blades intertwined and strangled each other in an instant, and the strong wind shook the two people, forcing them to separate nearly a hundred meters.

accompany!
Wang Xu spat out a mouthful of blood and spit, looking fiercely at the hunchbacked old man in front of him.

He was dressed in rags, like a beggar on the street, leaning on a dog-head stick, with a sinister and hideous smile on his skinny face, which was chilling.

"Du Jiankang, you old man are really stubborn!" Wang Xu said coldly.

Du Jiankang laughed sinisterly, "If you are not strong enough, how can I become the new mountain ghost? Hehehe, young man, I advise you to run away now, otherwise you will not be able to withstand my poison."

Speaking of this, he seemed very proud.

As an elder of the Yin-Yang School, Du Jiankang has been having a leisurely life since he stepped down as the Dark Elder.

Originally, he had no chance of being entrusted with important tasks due to his old age, but who can blame the Yin-Yang family for the heavy losses they had suffered recently?
First it was the Mountain Ghost, then Nüba, and then Hebo. The only low-level god left was Yunzhongjun, and even Shaosiming, who was one level higher, died.

Such a big blank had to be filled by someone, so Du Jiankang had the opportunity to take over as the mountain ghost, and also got a chance to prolong his life, but he still needed to retrieve something for the Yin-Yang family.

That's why he rushed to Hechi City to help. As long as the mission is successful, he will get the longevity pill made by Xiang Jun himself, which will make his eighty-year-old body look twenty years younger!

This is real good fortune!

The mountain ghost got excited just thinking about it, and his hunched body trembled with laughter.

"Wang Xu, you can't leave today even if you want to!"

Another middle-aged man spoke viciously, his eyes full of coldness. He was Le Gan, the elder of the Le family.

Wang Xu sneered, "Oh? Are you trying to exchange me for your Le Huang?"

"That's right!" Le Gan was straightforward.

Now that Le Huang was unexpectedly captured, the entire Le family was in a panic. After all, he was a genius in the family and had always been trained to be the heir to the patriarch.

But no one expected that he would be captured the first time he participated in a large-scale war, and the entire Le family was looking for an opportunity to redeem him.

And Wang Xu in front of him is undoubtedly the most suitable person!
Firstly, he was Wang Jian's youngest son, and his family background and status were comparable to Le Huang's, making him a very suitable candidate for exchange.

Secondly, there are mountain ghosts here to help, so he can capture them alive.

So this is the most hopeful time for his Le family.

"Le Gan, you are too naive."

Wang Xu's eyes were filled with mockery. "Do you think I am like your Le Huang, a coward who is afraid of death? In order to save his life, he is willing to reveal all your Wei deployment plans."

"I will make it clear today that the best you can get is my body!"

With the scimitar raised high, his face was full of determination and resolve. Even though he was alone, his momentum was no less than before.

I would rather die bravely than live in disgrace.

The warriors of the Qin Dynasty never live in disgrace!
"Humph, it's not up to you!"

"Mr. Du, please spare no effort. My Le family will reward you handsomely after the task is completed!"

"Haha, no problem."

The three of them started fighting again.

However, two fists are no match for four hands. Under the siege of two people, Wang Xu was accidentally infected by the mountain ghost's poison, and was cut directly on the back while he was distracted.

Ah!
Wang Xu struggled hard to break free, gritting his teeth and trying to cut off the poisoned flesh and blood, but Le Gan and the other mountain ghost would not give him a chance to breathe and pounced on him directly.

A red line suddenly crossed the gray sky!
who!
The mountain ghost suddenly felt panic in his heart and turned back quickly, only to see a spear burning with red flames.

"This... Red Lotus Karma Fire!"

His pupils trembled for an instant, and he didn't care about pursuing the victory and quickly dodged with a scream.

The older people get, the more afraid they are of death, and this was fully demonstrated in him at this moment.

"what's the situation?"

Le Gan also looked back in horror, only to see a young man in red armor riding his horse galloping towards him.

Who is this?

Just as he was puzzled, the mountain ghost next to him suddenly said, "Wu Fengdeng, this guy is Wu Fengdeng!"

Others may not recognize him, but everyone in the Yin-Yang School is familiar with Wu Fengdeng's image.

"Wu Fengdeng?!" Le Gan exclaimed, his breathing suddenly becoming heavier.

The next moment, he swooped down like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey.

Compared to Wang Xu, Wu Fengdeng is obviously more important, and he is also the culprit who captured Le Huang!

Looking at Le Gan who was charging towards him aggressively, Wu Fengdeng calmly jumped off his horse, raised his Sun-Burning Gun and stabbed him with a spear!
Clang!
Snow dust suddenly flew up, and the ground under Wu Fengdeng's feet cracked, which shows how strong the impact was.

But that's about it.

Wu Fengdeng's eyes were sharp, and he raised the tip of his spear, directly getting rid of Le Gan's sword, and then chopped it down heavily!
The red fire is like a dragon and blood, showing its power in the gray sky.

"not good!"

Le Gan suddenly felt something was wrong and subconsciously raised his sword to block.

Bang!
It was like the sound of thunder, echoing continuously in the surrounding snowy hills, sharp and piercing.

But then a figure was seen flying backwards, so fast that there was even some afterimage, and it whizzed past Wang Xu and Du Jiankang.

It’s actually fun to do it!

He flipped several times in the air before stopping, coughing non-stop. Then he looked up in panic, only to see a gap on the edge of his sword, as if it had been bitten by something.

The shot just now had such power!
Not only him, but Wang Xu and Du Jiankang beside him also had their eyelids twitching and their expressions were extremely complicated.

Although I didn't experience it firsthand just now, judging from the sound and the intensity of the spiritual energy that erupted, it was no less than a full-force battle between two Qi Conservation Realm powerhouses.

But the key is that Wu Fengdeng is still in the late stage of Tuodan and has not yet condensed the elixir!
"No wonder my father let him guard the city alone. Except for his inability to fly, this kid's fighting ability is on par with mine. What will happen if he advances to the Qi Conservation Realm?" Wang Xu thought with a click of his tongue.

Du Jiankang on the opposite side also had a solemn expression on his face. He tightened his grip on the cane and there was already some sign of retreat in his eyes.

"Can you fight against the Qi Conservation Realm on your own now? Your growth rate is so fast, no wonder Master Taiyi wants to kill him."

"What should we do now? Should we fight or retreat? Wang Xu has Wu Fengdeng's help. Le Gan and I are at best evenly matched. It will be extremely difficult to kill them."

"And there's a high chance that I'll die. Wu Fengdeng is my mortal enemy... No, no, I've finally become a mountain ghost, I can't die so soon."

"As for that thing, let's find another opportunity. There's plenty of time now, so there's no need to risk your life."

Du Jiankang's fear of death reached its peak, and he turned around and flew away without hesitation.

"Lao Du!"

Le Gan was shocked to see him turn around and leave. He called out to him but found it was useless. He had no choice but to follow him. Now the attack and defense were different, how could he be second?

Seeing them leave one after another, Wu Fengdeng's expression on the ground relaxed.

"Fortunately, I managed to drive them away, otherwise I would have been forced to use my bow and arrows to help."

At first, he had no choice but to throw the domineering spear. After all, he couldn't just watch Wang Xu die there.

If they fought again, Wu Fengdeng would be out of reach on the ground and could only use bows and arrows to help, and the only means that could threaten them was the Dark Blood Arrow.

This thing is an absolute trump card and cannot be used easily, so scaring them off is the best result.

"General Wu, enter the city quickly!" Wang Xu's voice came from the air.

"it is good."

Wu Fengdeng was just about to drive his horse into the city, but suddenly he thought of something and couldn't help but look in the direction he came from.

The pitch-black coffin is still hidden over there. If those disciples don't return for a long time, the mountain ghost will definitely go looking for it, and then it will fall into his hands again.

Although I don’t know what it is used for, it is definitely not a good thing for me!
"Go get it back!"

Wu Fengdeng made up his mind and turned his horse around. After running for dozens of miles, he finally found the mark he had left behind...

The sky gradually darkened, another wave of attacks by the Wei army was repelled, and Hechi City returned to peace again.

County government compound.

When Wang Xu returned after handling military affairs, he saw Wu Fengdeng sitting on the steps eating pork legs and drinking rice wine, with a black coffin next to him.

He looked a little suspicious, but still stepped forward with a smile: "General Wu, thank you for your help this time!"

Wu Fengdeng looked at him and nodded. He was so hungry that he didn't reply immediately. After he finished his meal, he said, "General Wang, you are too polite. We are all soldiers, so I won't be polite with you. Do you recognize this thing?"

Looking at the coffin he pointed at, Wang Xu examined it carefully and shook his head, saying, "I don't recognize it, but the symbols on it look like they belong to the Yin-Yang School, right?"

“Yes, this is what I intercepted from the Yin-Yang family on the road. I don’t know what use it has, but the enemy wants something to use against us after all.”

"What you said is absolutely true!"

Wang Xu agreed with this very much. He immediately walked around the coffin again and frowned, saying, "It seems to be imbued with some kind of spiritual energy, and this size... It should be used to hold a special corpse, right?"

"But I have been stationed here since Hechi City came under the rule of the Qin Dynasty. I have never felt anything special here in the past six months."

Wu Fengdeng hesitated for a moment after hearing this.

"Perhaps we need to look for clues from the mountain ghost. Did he come to Hechi City openly or was he discovered suddenly?"

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered Le Huang's words.

A mysterious mission.

Wu Fengdeng asked: "General Wang, when did you first see a mountain ghost?"

Wang Xu thought for a moment and said, "In the north of the city, that day I sensed that someone at the Hidden Qi Realm had sneaked into the city, so I went to investigate and found a mountain ghost wandering in the north."

Wu Fengdeng's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Sure enough, they are sneaking in! It seems that there must be something the mountain ghost wants in the city, or there must be some deployment! To the north..."

"Let's go take a look!"

Soon, they arrived at the north of Hechi City.

At this time, the streets had been cleared, the people were hiding in their houses, and there were soldiers patrolling outside.

After the last Korean War, the newly built houses here have become much taller, in stark contrast to the old style of the city center.

Wu Fengdeng looked around and suddenly had a familiar feeling, as if there was a very special memory anchor point.

"This is... Oh, right, this is the place where I fought Nuba Shaodian last time!"

His heart was shocked and his expression and pupils trembled slightly.

"If you want to know what's so unique about this place and what it has to do with the Yin-Yang School, it's that I once fought with Jing Ke, Han Fei and others here, and Nüba and Shao Dian also died here."

"So, what the mountain ghost is looking for must be related to these two people. Could it be that he wants their bodies?"

"That coffin is big enough to hold two people!"

Wu Fengdeng's eyes were relieved, and he quickly asked Wang Xu: "General Wang, I think I understand now. The mountain ghost probably wants the bodies of the previous Nüba and Shaodian!"

"They died here. Are their bodies buried underground?"

After killing Shao Dian, he fell into a coma and had no idea about the aftermath. As the garrison commander here, Wang Xu suddenly understood what was going on and nodded, "That's right!"

"When I rebuilt it, because of their special identities, I didn't throw them out, but buried them where they were, probably... at this location!"

Wang Xu stopped near a well and stepped on the watered floor.

Wu Fengdeng hesitated for a moment before making up his mind: "Let's dig it up and see."

Although doing so may cause some unknown consequences, he is more concerned about the unknown hidden dangers.

Anyway, we still have to take a look at these two bodies.

Just in case, Wu Fengdeng brought the black coffin over directly.

Then Wang Xu mobilized people to dig up the place.

About two quarters of an hour later, two mud hills had been piled up on the ground. Several soldiers were still digging underneath, and the depth was about three meters. Wu Fengdeng smiled bitterly and said, "General Wang, how deep did you bury it?"

"It should be soon. At that time, this place was contaminated by the dead aura of Nüba. In order to avoid affecting the people around, I asked people to dig out as much contaminated soil as possible, and then nailed the body completely in the coffin and threw it in." Wang Xu said.

Just then, a voice was heard from the pit.

"General Wang, we found it!"

After saying that, the soldiers jumped out covered in dust. Wu Fengdeng leaned over to take a look and found a huge wooden coffin underneath.

"Both bodies are inside. Someone, bring them up."

Wang Xu immediately called the soldiers and pulled up the wooden coffin with a rope.

Wow~~

As the wooden coffin rose, the soil fell like a rain curtain, but Wu Fengdeng next to him suddenly realized something was wrong.

"It's understandable that there's some dirt on the coffin, but this is too much, as if the coffin is filled with dirt..."

"Two generals!"

While Wu Fengdeng was wondering, a scream came from below.

It was a soldier who was in charge of tying the ropes. He stayed in the pit, but leaned against the earthen wall with a look of fear on his face. He pointed at the coffin above and said tremblingly: "It's leaking...leaking...leaking!"

"what?!"

Wang Xu was greatly surprised, but Wu Fengdeng beside him hurried forward, lifted the wooden coffin completely to the ground, and turned it over, his expression suddenly frozen.

I saw a hole about two feet in size below!
