Proud Sword Emperor

Chapter 93

Refining this heaven-defying pill may mean that Duke Huguo is about to die.

Bai Lingxi thought about the Duke Protector who was always kind and amiable to her, and her face showed grief.

Looking at Bai Lingxi's trembling lips, Xu Chen paused for a few moments before finally muttering: "Whether you want to use it or not, the pill must be prepared first. Go ahead and collect the medicinal materials. We can't delay any longer."

"it is good……"

Bai Lingxi couldn't disobey Xu Chen, picked up the note and turned to leave, his back was a bit bleak.

The weather has turned cloudy, and the solar term has just entered autumn, but the temperature is already as cold as winter, with gusts of cold wind blowing, everyone hides in the house, there is no one on the street, it is empty, and I don't know who these people are While avoiding the cold wind, he still wanted to avoid the coming Xuanmen Sword Demon.

The next day, the pill was quickly prepared by Bai Lingxi.

Xu Chen started to make alchemy, but just as he was about to do it, the door was pushed open, Tang Mengqiu's face was haggard, and there were bloodshot eyes in his eyes: "Xu Chen, this alchemy cannot be made."

Xu Chen stopped his movements and sighed: "If Dan is not ready, then those who are waiting for Datang must be... perish."

"But, I don't want Duke Protector to die either! If I do this, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!" Tang Mengqiu said in a trembling voice, feeling tormented in her heart. She knew that she shouldn't come to stop Xu Chen. One person died, but she was really uncomfortable in her heart.

"Xu Chen, is there really no other way?"

Tang Mengqiu raised her head and stared at Xu Chen closely, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

She seemed to be really struggling.

Xu Chen let out a long breath, and then his expression became serious. He poured the medicinal materials into the pill furnace one after another, and when the furnace was sealed, he said in a deep voice, "After refining, let me swallow this pill."

"you……"

Tang Mengqiu's eyes widened sharply, she stood up all of a sudden, drew her sword and slashed towards the pill furnace, and at the same time said resolutely: "No, you can't swallow this pill!"

"earn!"

Xu Chen raised the long sword in his hand, pressed it against Tang Mengqiu's blade and said: "If you don't swallow it, Datang will definitely die."

"Then, I can't let you die..."

Tang Mengqiu suddenly turned to look at Xu Chen.

Xu Chen was surprised to find that there were tears in Tang Mengqiu's eyes at this moment. Coupled with what she just said, at this moment, Xu Chen's state of mind was... confused for a moment.

If Datang dies, can't you die? !
Is this his weight in Tang Mengqiu's heart?It turns out that I am already so... important in Tang Mengqiu's heart?

The whole room fell into silence for a short while.

The air was very quiet, but the hearts of both of them were beating violently, and an inexplicable feeling spread in the room.

"What jokes are you talking about?" Xu Chen turned his head away for a while, and calmed down calmly: "This pill must be swallowed by someone, and I don't want the Duke Protector to die, so I can only swallow it, and I swallowed it." This Dan may not die, but... it may not be able to kill the enemy."

Tang Mengqiu's pretty face turned red in an instant, she turned her head and whispered: "You... here, even if you don't necessarily die, you will definitely be in great danger, and since you can't kill the enemy, why do you want to swallow it?"

"Although it may not be able to kill the enemy, it is still a means of resistance. After all, we cannot let the Duke Protector die, nor can we easily let the Tang Dynasty perish... This is a helpless move."

Xu Chen shook his head and said, his expression returned to seriousness: "I'm going to make alchemy. I'm going to face a big disaster. No matter what means I have to be prepared, please don't be capricious, princess, and please always pay attention to the movements of the sword demon."

Tang Mengqiu looked at his decision, and left without a word, with an extremely complicated expression.

After she left, Xu Chen let out a long sigh, took everything that happened just now as never happened, and concentrated on alchemy.

……

Another day.

Tang Mengqiu rushed in: "Xu Chen, the sword demon is coming!"

"How long will he be here?"

Xu Chen's expression became serious immediately, Nitian Pill has not been refined yet!
"Estimated to be only one hour." Tang Mengqiu's face was ugly: "For some reason, he didn't pass by a small town on this road, but went straight to our imperial city, and the speed was extremely fast!"

"There are few warriors in the small city, and he can't feed him enough. Only the countless warriors in the imperial city can satisfy his greed, but I haven't prepared the Heaven-Defying Pill yet."

Xu Chen fell silent.

When Tang Mengqiu heard the news, he didn't know what to say for a while. He was glad that no one would take risks, but also worried about the fate of the Great Tang Imperial City.

"Is there really no other way?" Tang Mengqiu asked after a long time, with a flustered look on his face.

"Let me think."

Xu Chen stood up slowly, walked to the window, glanced out of the window, sat on the window seat, and poured a cup of tea.

Seeing his movements, Tang Mengqiu said in a slightly anxious tone, "You still drink tea at this time..."

Xu Chen paused, smiled wryly and shook his head without speaking.

The air became heavy again, and time passed in Xu Chen's contemplation. Tang Mengqiu became more and more anxious, and began to pace restlessly in the same place.

"Princess, Chen'er!"

Duke Hu's voice suddenly came from outside, with an urgent tone: "The sword demon is here!"

"Coming?!" Tang Mengqiu raised his head in shock, with fear in his eyes, the sword demon who slaughtered 10 people and killed anyone he saw, is here?

"Are we fighting or fleeing?" the Lord Protector breathed heavily.

Xu Chen narrowed his eyes: "Xuan rank warriors travel thousands of miles in a day, if you can escape, I will let you escape as early as the first time, now, you have to fight with your back!"

"Okay, let's fight!"

The Duke Protector let out a loud shout, his eyes revealing his will to die.

Tang Mengqiu next to him had intense sadness in his eyes. What is war? Facing the Xuanjie sword demon who slaughtered 10 people, the meaning of fighting...is death!
"boom!"

A loud noise suddenly came from a distance.

Soon, screams and cries of panic and fear filled the whole city!
The three got up quickly, and when Xu Chen was about to leave, he glanced at the unfinished alchemy furnace, slapped open the alchemy furnace, took out the remaining pills, and then rushed to the city gate.

"Go to the army!"

Standing at the head of the inner city of the imperial palace, Duke Hu Guo shouted loudly, and in the panic of the city, he opened the imperial palace, and countless black armored generals rushed into the city.

The moment they opened the gate of the imperial palace, Tang Mengqiu and Xu Chen could clearly see that the sky was shrouded in blood. On the city streets, blood was flowing.

And on this long straight street.

A blood mist of ten feet floated behind him, his face was ferocious, and a young man with a bloody knife stepped out of the air. He stepped out and swung his knife down.

Seeing the black armored army approaching, the blood-clothed young man smiled bloody: "Hahahaha, there is indeed enough flesh and blood here!"

"Devil, don't be rampant..."

Some generals in the army roared, drew their bows and fired arrows, and the army behind obeyed the order, and their spears flew into the sky.

"What a group of poor ants, your counterattack is like a mayfly shaking a tree, turn them into flesh and blood for my sword to devour!"

The blood-clothed youth swung his knife, whoosh!In an instant, blood flowed like a waterfall, and human heads flew up all over the sky.

The endless blood and the opponent's invincible figure destroyed everyone's heart. Despair had already pervaded the entire imperial city.

"This, this..." Tang Mengqiu looked at this miserable world, trembling all over: "What to do, what to do, is there really no good person in this world!"

There was endless desolation in her mournful voice.

"Ugh……"

Xu Chen, who was beside her, gave a long sigh, took out half of a broken pill and said, "Let the soldiers come back first, don't send them to death."

"you……"

Tang Mengqiu looked at the remnant pill in Xu Chen's hand, and for a moment, crystals appeared in his eyes again.

Xu Chen looked at her, and smiled peacefully: "There's no other way, even Can Dan has to try."

As he spoke, Tang Mengqiu's face became even more miserable, and his heart was filled with fear and fear.

"Desperate for conscience!"

Suddenly, an angry cold snort resounded through the sky.

In the next moment, a young man with white clothes and white hair, handsome appearance and star-like eyes appeared in the sky above the imperial city.

He raised his sword eyebrows angrily, and drew his sword to point at the sword demon: "The lives of people are worthless, and the murder is like a sea. Today, you deserve to die!"
