Chapter 131 Life Sacrifice
Chapter 131 Life Sacrifice
Looking at Yang Qing's receding back, Qi San, who was previously responsible for repairing the city gate, rolled his eyes and approached Yue Qin and said.
"Boss, how about I go out of the city and follow him secretly? I think this guy is probably going out of the city to pick up the Filthy Trace Pearl."
After hearing his words, Yue Qin instantly understood what his men meant.
This city defense battle has its own rules, because there have been too many incidents in the past where people were busy picking up the dropped filth beads and were killed by the evil spirits that came rushing in.
Therefore, no one is allowed to pick up the evil beads dropped by the evil spirits killed while defending the city.
After all, it was a battle to defend the city, and our side was the weaker defensive side. During the battle, we had to be distracted by looking for the Filthy Pearl, which greatly affected the safety and efficiency of defending the city.
There were even many cases where the uneven distribution of the Filthy Beads caused discord among comrades, which ultimately led to a lack of morale when defending the city.
After learning the lessons through blood and tears, each city had a tacit understanding that when defending a city, there would be a rule that someone would be designated to pick up the filthy beads dropped by evil spirits when they were killed.
Of course, if you pick up one or two occasionally, no one will say anything to you, but if you deliberately look for them and are discovered, then this is an extremely despised behavior.
They were even reported and faced liquidation after the battle to defend the city.
Moreover, after the battle to defend the city was over, all kinds of rewards for merit, subsidies for casualties, etc., were paid from this filthy bead.
When Qi San said this at this time, the meaning was very clear.
"No need! It's understandable that he went to look for Senior Nie's remains, but we can't let Senior Nie's body be trampled by evil spirits after his death.
Don't let others misunderstand you when you follow them.
Besides, even if he went to pick up the evil beads, the evil spirits were killed by his master, so it was reasonable that he picked them up in the end."
"Hmph, Boss, you are just too chivalrous and too trusting.
I only heard the kid calling old hero Nie "Master", but old hero Nie never turned around to acknowledge him, so the term "good disciple" might not have been directed at him.
Besides, he was assigned to the suicide squad.
Haha, the Suicide Squad, most of them are sent there for reasons like redemption, there are more bad guys than good guys in the squad. "
Qi San continued with ill intentions.
"Alright, don't show off your little tricks in front of me. If it weren't for his master, we would probably all be dead right now. Don't let this happen to you. Go and arrange for someone to repair the city gate."
Yue Qin glanced at Qi San, then patted him on the shoulder and pointed to the death squad that Yang Qing had been with before: "All of you teams, go guard outside the west gate and buy time for us to block the west gate."
Yue Qin waved his hand, and his men began to perform their duties.
Qi San spat fiercely in the direction where Yang Qing left as he walked. He felt that Yang Qing was just lucky. If he had known earlier, he would have called him Master as well.
He also thought that Yang Qing had gone out of the city just to pick up the Filthy Pearls, and that Yang Qing was definitely not the old man's apprentice. Otherwise, with the old man's skills, if he had only learned 30% or 40% of them, he would not have ended up joining the city defense suicide squad, a team that was doomed to die.
When he thought of the piles of dirty beads that no one picked up, he became extremely envious, and a fierce light unconsciously flashed in his eyes.
Not long after, in the Liu family mansion, Liu Fusheng received the news that the west gate had been saved and an old man turned into thunder and killed all the evil spirits.
After hearing the news, Liu Fusheng was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. This was even more unbelievable than the emergence of Long Jixiao in Hengzhou Prefecture.
Why would there be people who are good at thunder magic in a small place like Hengzhou Prefecture?
Liu Fusheng raised his eyes to the altar on the side. There was no time to lose and he had to start the sacrifice as soon as possible.
"Go, bring me the sacrifice!"
Several subordinates took the order and left. After a while, they brought up a dozen children, each of whom looked less than six years old, and some looked even younger.
Afterwards, as Liu Fusheng cast spells and incantations, a cluster of dark green flames began to appear on the altar, and countless faint humming sounds began to linger among the crowd.
The temperature of the surroundings began to drop rapidly as the dark green flame grew stronger.
"On the offering!"
Following Liu Fusheng's order, an Akita samurai laughed grimly, grabbed a child, and threw him into the dark green flame like a chicken.
The astonished child let out a scream, and then the dark green fire swallowed the child like a giant mouth.
In the flames, the child's body quickly withered, and the blazing white soul flew out of the child's body, but was swept up by the dark green flames and finally annihilated in it.
At the same time, an almost invisible evil aura also spread into the air.
"Come again!"
Another child was thrown into the fire, and the rest of the children seemed to be under some kind of restriction. Although there was fear in their eyes, they were unable to resist.
In the darkness in a corner of the courtyard, two figures showed reluctant expressions. One of them wanted to take action but was stopped by the other.
But even this slight movement was noticed by a warrior beside the altar.
"who!"
The warrior who first discovered the situation had already drawn a long sword from his waist and was walking towards where the two men were hiding.
"Its spirit is vague, its spirit is not obvious, its soul is vast, its ghost is not divine! Weak!"
A cold wind blew out from the darkness, and the warrior felt his hands and feet become heavy and he was instantly trapped.
At the same time, another figure came out holding two mandarin duck axes. The warrior swept his sword, but was easily blocked by the opponent's mandarin duck axes.
A flash of cold light passed by, and when the warrior wanted to draw his sword and retreat, he found that his sword had been locked by the opponent. In just this delay of a few tenths of a second, the warrior felt a chill in his throat, and blood had already splashed into the air.
The warrior was first hit by the opponent's hungry ghost seal, which at least consumed most of his strength. Then his weapon was locked by the opponent's mandarin duck axe. He had no time to retreat and was killed in the neck by the opponent after just one confrontation.
"kill!"
The remaining warriors guarding the courtyard did not feel any sadness when they saw their companions die. Instead, they swung their swords forward frantically.
"withstand!"
The figure holding the mandarin duck axe called out to his companions and at the same time pulled out a few fireworks from his waist. With a twist, several red fireworks soared into the sky and bloomed in the air.
Then the two figures engaged in a battle with a group of warriors.
If Yang Qing were here, he would definitely recognize that these two figures were the Chen sisters who had disappeared for a while.
It was because they saw the note left by Yang Qing in the ruined courtyard that they risked their lives to investigate the Liu family mansion, and they also discovered that Liu Fusheng was using human sacrifices.
Next to Liu Fusheng, a bald monk in a wide robe with big sleeves asked, "Who are these two girls? How dare they ruin our good deeds at this time?"
“Humph, just a bunch of little mice. I’ve been so busy with tonight’s affairs that I haven’t paid any attention to them.
By the way, do you remember the captain named Chen Boguang that you dealt with a few months ago? These two are his daughters. They couldn’t find anything in Baisha Prefecture, so they came to Hengzhou Prefecture to keep an eye on me. "
"It turned out to be them."
"Yes, now that I have not completed the sacrifice, you can send them down to reunite with their father on my behalf.
Hurry up, they just set off warning fireworks, I think they are trying to attract the Night Patrol. Although no one will pay attention to this place tonight, you never know what will happen. "
Liu Fusheng was talking, but his hands did not stop. He grabbed the air and threw a child into the altar.
The dark green flames that devoured the sacrifice became stronger, emitting more evil aura. At the same time, the bloody smell in the sky above the entire Hengzhou Prefecture became stronger, making the moon look darker red.
Affected by the bloody smell, the evil spirits that were attacking the city became even crazier and their attacks became more fierce, which immediately made the soldiers and monks guarding the city in the distance feel a lot of pressure.
The Akita monk also walked towards the Chen sisters, accompanied by his two subordinates.
As they walked, black smoke suddenly rose behind the three men. After a while, the monk turned into a demon monk who was more than one or two meters tall, with muscular body and a bloody mouth.
As for his two subordinates, one transformed into a bug similar to a large mole cricket, and the other transformed into a skeleton dragging a large sickle.
The three of them were obviously from Akita, and they had all become Shikigami at this moment.
At this moment, the Chen sisters had already dealt with all the warriors holding samurai swords.
-------------------------------------
Outside the west gate, the Jishui leopard with a dark glow jumped down from above Yang Qing's head.
"Boy, if you want to go look for your master's remains, I won't go.
There are a lot of evil beads nearby, so I will look for some here to replenish my energy.
If you are fast enough, pick up some of them. This is a good opportunity, and no one will compete with you. Look carefully for the beads all over the ground. We will meet here later."
