Chapter 133 Slip carefully
Yang Qing ran all the way, getting closer and closer to the west city gate.
As time went by, some evil spirits began to appear on Yang Qing's route in the western suburbs that had been cleared out, and the closer to the city gate, the denser the number of evil spirits.
From one or two at the beginning to five or six at a time later.
Moreover, Yang Qing clearly discovered that the attack speed and strength of these evil spirits had greatly increased.
Some evil spirits were able to dodge the blow that could have killed them in the past, and were able to fight back before dying. If the strength of the first-level evil spirits was not so far behind Yang Qing's current strength, there was a real possibility that they could have injured Yang Qing.
Yang Qing looked up at the blood moon above his head, which seemed to be even more blood red.
It seems that the increase in the evil spirit's strength is closely related to the blood moon.
After killing nearly twenty evil spirits along the way, Yang Qing finally arrived near the west city gate.
In terms of time, Yang Qing felt that it should be less than an incense stick of time.
When Yang Qing arrived, he saw that the west gate was filled with huge rocks, leaving only a small hole for one person to pass through, and the members of the suicide squad who were originally defending outside were crawling into the hole one after another.
Yang Qing greeted him, indicating that he would be there soon and hoped that the other party would wait for him.
But the last person who entered the cave just glanced back at Yang Qing, gave an extremely ugly smile, and then went in.
When Yang Qing arrived at the city wall, he saw a huge rock blocking the entrance to the cave.
Then the stones blocking the entrance of the cave shook at the same time and merged into one whole stone. It was obvious that someone who was proficient in earth-based Taoist magic had completely sealed the city gate.
Behind Yang Qing, many evil spirits soon surrounded him, and their number increased, including a second-level evil ghost raccoon beast.
This ghost raccoon beast looks very similar to the first-level flower raccoon beast, and its attack method is also similar. The only difference is that the ghost raccoon beast's attack speed is faster, the nails of its claws are sharper, and its destructive power is naturally stronger.
Moreover, this ghost cat beast has a ghost face, very much like a rotten flower cat beast. When fighting, it will make a baby-like crying sound, which can disturb people's minds and is very scary to hear at night.
Yang Qing was forced to fight the evil spirit below, and a voice sounded from the city wall at the right time.
"Boy, you are quite skilled, but did you just go outside to pick up the Filthy Trace Beads secretly?
If you still want to enter the city, please hand in your storage bag first, and I will let you in after I confirm that there is no problem."
Following the sound, a small basket hanging from a thin rope was lowered from the city wall.
At this time, Yang Qing had just chopped a nearby evil spirit to pieces with one knife. Turning back, he saw that the person who spoke was the last person who had just drilled into the small hole in the city gate and completely sealed the city gate.
The person who spoke on the city wall was Qi San.
He had been sent by Yue Qin to repair the city gate. Just when the city gate was repaired, he saw Yang Qing coming.
His innate greed made him believe that Yang Qing must have picked up the evil beads outside for a while, so he suddenly had an idea and came up with the idea just now.
The city wall of Hengzhou Prefecture is more than ten meters high. Without superb body skills, ordinary cultivators simply cannot climb up successfully.
Besides, even if he could come up, what would happen? There are so many guards watching on the city wall. He could directly order the killing of Yang Qing on the charge of trespassing.
Anyway, Yue Qin is not here at the moment as he has gone to the government office to report. He is the highest commander of this section of the city wall. He believes that in order to save his life, Yang Qing will definitely hand over the storage bag first.
There doesn't need to be many Filthy Trace Beads in it, three or four hundred, or even just two or three hundred, and this trip wouldn't be in vain. As for whether to let this kid up, Qi San never considered it.
It is normal for hundreds or even thousands of people to die when the evil spirits attack the city. It is not a pity for a wild boy who is alone outside the city to die. An excuse for safety reasons is enough.
"I left the city on orders, and the general also gave me permission. You are being too harsh in blocking me from entering the city!"
Although Yang Qing didn't know when he had offended the other party, it was obvious that the other party was targeting him.
"General Yue is not here at the moment, so you can say whatever you want. But if you still want to climb the city wall, you must hand over your storage bag first. After I check and confirm that you have not picked up the Filthy Trace Pearls privately, I will send someone to lower the hanging basket to pick you up.
Heh, I kindly advise you to put the storage bag in the hanging basket now. There will be more and more evil spirits soon. If you are slow, don't blame me for leaving you down there. "
"Humph, you keep saying storage bag and steal the Filthy Trace Pearl. I think your real goal is to target my storage bag."
Yang Qing has experienced too many people's lives in his comprehension. Even if they were all superficial, they still gave Yang Qing some different insights. He knew too well that at this special moment, if anyone still dared to force trouble, then he would either not do it or do it to the extreme.
Now that he understood that the guard on the city wall was targeting him, Yang Qing was almost certain that the other party had no intention of letting him enter the city.
So as soon as he opened his mouth, Yang Qing directly tore off the mask.
Qi San, who was on the city wall, became immediately angry and ashamed when he heard this.
As a veteran soldier, he had done too many things like extortion and was used to it, but he never expected that the kid in front of him would dare to be so arrogant even in such a "desperate situation" as the city.
"Humph, if that's the case, don't blame me for showing mercy! The whole city is on alert now, and no suspicious people are allowed to enter the city.
Crossbowmen, get ready. The evil spirits are approaching the city again. Get ready, shoot! "
"Team Qi! This guy is the disciple of the old hero Nie."
Faced with Qi San's targeting of his own people, none of the crossbowmen took action, and one of them even tried to persuade him.
"What do you mean by disciple of old hero Nie? He is just a liar who used some tricks to impersonate someone else and took the opportunity to go out of the city to seek benefits. Has anyone seen old hero Nie say a word to him or acknowledge him in person?
Besides, there are evil spirits gathering under the city. Are you going to disobey orders? Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Execute them immediately. If anything goes wrong, I will take the responsibility."
Then he shouted to the soldiers and civilians guarding the city: "What are you looking at? There are evil spirits climbing the wall. Bring me some stones to throw at them. Guard your city wall well."
After saying that, he pointed at Yang Qing who was surrounded by a large group of evil spirits under the city and said, "Follow my orders, crossbowmen, get ready, there are a group of evil spirits fifteen steps below the city, shoot indiscriminately, fire!"
The sound of the crossbow was heard, and more than a dozen arrows over one meter long were shot towards the area where Yang Qing was.
At this moment, Qi San's eyes were red with excitement. He knew that if Yang Qing died, he would at most be punished. Reasons such as the city gate was blocked or evil spirits were in the city were all excuses.
A flying knife brushed past the flying arrow and hit Qi San on the city wall.
But it was thrown by Yang Qing with his backhand at the moment when he was fighting with the evil spirit.
But such a flying knife posed limited threat to the battle-hardened Qi San, especially when he was on full alert.
Then Qi San just turned his head slightly and dodged the flying knife, but the next second a voice rang in his ears, making him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.
"Why are you trying to punish me? Be careful not to lose your life by being so greedy!"
It was Yang Qing who used a fake object to return to the city wall.
The wailing sounds of evil spirits were heard under the city wall, and nearly ten evil spirits were shot to death by crossbows, but there was no trace of Yang Qing there.
How did he do that!
Qi San was so frightened that he didn't have time to think and attacked Yang Qing with his backhand.
His soul weapon is a pair of claws, and its actual ability is to cause a temporary "petrification" effect to the attacked area. The effect will be even better if it touches a stone-like object.
This is also the reason why Qi San was sent by Yue Qin to repair the city gate. The materialization effect of his soul soldier is just suitable for this.
Facing Qi San's claw, Yang Qing did not dodge or evade. Then a scene that shocked Qi San again appeared. The claw of his soul soldier directly passed through Yang Qing's "body", just like hitting a piece of air.
Then Yang Qing uttered a word "Hey!", and Qi San's head felt as if it was covered by a bronze bell and hit by it.
Tension, fear, and shock, coupled with a constant buzzing in his head, made Qi San's body unconsciously take a few steps back and bump into the battlements of the city wall.
At this moment, there was already a thick layer of blood mud on the city wall, which was formed by the dried blood.
Qi San slipped and retreated in such a hurry that he fell heavily from the city wall.
"Caution: Slippery!"
Yang Qing only had time to give a helpless reminder before watching Qi San fall off the city wall in a mess.
Bang!
After landing, countless black shadows pounced towards Qi San. He only stood up and fought back twice before being eaten by many evil spirits while screaming.
But until his death, he never figured out how Yang Qing had done those things just now.
