Heavenly Dao Formula

"Do you think my ability is only to block the intrusion of foreign objects, and I can deal with it simply by bypassing it?" The man grabbed Nagino by the throat and pulled her to him. And Ning Qing, who lost the front half of his arm, couldn't cope with it at all, so he could only support the ground with his feet to show his resistance.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that such resistance is of no avail.

The strengths of the two sides are not at the same level at all.

But at the moment when the two got close, Nagino suddenly opened his mouth.

There was a handleless dagger wrapped around her tongue!

Since it is impossible to break through the enemy's line of defense from the front, it is enough to give the opponent a chance to react after flying around, so what now? !

The moment he opened his mouth, Nagino spit out the sharp blade with all his strength, and the latter drew a white light, piercing the alchemist's face.

"you--"

The man finally lost his previous indifference and indifference. He pushed Nagino away, and at the same time turned his head violently, narrowly dodging the unexpected blow.

"Cough cough...cough..." Ning Qing fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. She looked at the man and said mockingly, "Why, don't use your proud spell this time? It seems to be everywhere, but in fact it requires the caster to take precautions, right?"

If he didn't realize it in advance, he wouldn't do all-round defense.

Because, as Nagino had expected, this technique not only takes time to complete, but also hinders the caster himself.

"..." The man turned his head back, his face was terribly gloomy. On his right cheek, there was a shallow scratch - although the wound was shallow, the blood that flowed out completely destroyed his image of a handsome young man who did not touch the smoke and dust.

He raised his foot and kicked the green-faced ghost hard on the waist, kicking her up from the ground.

But the latter didn't tumble out, but slammed into an invisible wall.

Nagino felt that her internal organs seemed to be misplaced. If her tolerance to pain hadn't been greatly improved after going berserk, she doubted that she would have screamed out.

And that's not the end.

The man leaned down and began to hit Ning Qing fiercely - although he was not a strong alchemist who specialized in Genjutsu, every punch and kick was as heavy as a thousand pounds. The green-faced ghost felt that her ribs and legs were shattering little by little, and her mouth was full of bloody smell. With the weakening of Qi, it was difficult to maintain her madness, and the severe pain gradually appeared, cutting her consciousness back and forth like a blunt saw. . She knew that the enemy was deliberately torturing her, wanting to hear her cry for mercy. But she just bit her teeth into her lips, and she refused to let the other party do what she wanted.

"Master Kaiyang Envoy, if you keep beating her, she will die soon."

At this moment, an alchemist stepped forward and said.

"A sacrifice is needed to open the fairy weapon. This guy is a monster, and he can be regarded as a person who is sensitive. Your Excellency Yuheng hopes that we can save enough sacrifices before occupying the fairy weapon. My lord, look..."

Hearing these words, the man finally stopped.

At this moment, his plain clothes were already stained with blood, and he no longer had the indifferent feeling before, but the blood all came from Ning Qing.

"Don't worry, I just move my hands and feet a little bit. If I really wanted her life, she would have turned into a mess." He took out a handkerchief and wiped his fingers. After being delayed by the green-faced ghost for a while, the mechanism beast and evil horse troops had already retreated far away, and it was meaningless to pursue them any longer.

"Count the people who are still alive on the field. Although these guys are not as good as sacrifices, the spirit of fighters is always stronger than that of ordinary people." The man ordered.

"clear."

"Next, it's time to meet the prefect of this city." He turned his head to look at the city wall with thick smoke billowing not far away, and said with a sneer.

...

In the mountains and forests fifty miles away from Bumi Mansion.

The May army that had retreated here finally stabilized its position and set up camp again. The terrain here is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although it is not a place to stay for a long time, it is suitable for ambushing the pursuers to prevent the main force from falling into a greater rout.

Compared with the high spirits of the time, everyone's morale is quite low now. After all, this is the first defeat they have suffered since they entered the west.

It would be fine if it was lost to Yuan Jiu Ten Lands.

No one could have imagined that the mainland's seven-star army would intervene in the Yama civil war at this time.

Moreover, the strength they displayed was far superior to that of the Dongsheng princes. Fighting against such an enemy, the odds of winning became unpredictable at once. When they saw the man in Tsing Yi appearing as if he had entered the land of no one on the bloody battlefield, everyone couldn't help but feel terrified.

Such an atmosphere also permeated the coach's camp.

Looking at the statistical report in front of him in May, he remained silent. After the whole battle, the overall casualties of the army were not high, with a loss of about 700 personnel, some of which were forced to give up after entering the city due to the interception by Seven Stars. But the machine beast unit was more serious, not to mention the loss of fifteen units, and two Xuanwu type with air wheel guns fell into the hands of the enemy.

She was worried that the intelligence of these organ beasts would bring troubles to Jinxia City.

In addition, Nagino's unknown life and death also made her feel extremely worried.

When she was still a preliminarily selected shrine maiden, Nakio and Nakiku had been by her side, not so much as attendants or servants, but as sisters. Maybe outsiders see ghosts as killing weapons, but in Wu Yueyao's eyes, Nagino also has a gentle side, and Nagino is a naughty girl who can always come up with weird ideas.

"Nagino...how is she?" After a long time, Wuyue put down the report and asked Guiichiro slowly.

"She hasn't come out since she returned to the tent." Arima Keiichiro replied, "But please rest assured, Master Naginen is also a ghost warrior, and she will regain her strength."

"If I hadn't ordered the attack on the Bumi Mansion, such a thing might not have happened..."

"Master Wuyue!" Gui Yilang couldn't help but interrupted, "This is not your fault, nor is it the fault of anyone in the army. Everyone hopes that the power of King Dongsheng can be completely wiped out, so that the people of Xima can live a happy life." Life like Jinxia City! There will always be sacrifices in wars, and everyone has already prepared for it!"

"...I know." Wu Yueyao clenched her fists.

But knowing that you know, the turbulent emotions prove that this is not something that can be taken lightly.

"What are you going to do next?" Keiichiro asked.

"The staff...do you have any suggestions?"

"Everyone's opinion is to return to Aima Castle and Tsushima Castle in the central part. The two cities are horns of each other, they can support each other, and they are far away from the sea, so the Seven Stars fleet can't play a role." Gui Yilang relayed the thoughts of the staff, "At present Judging from the enemy's actions, they don't seem to regard the princes of Dongsheng as allies. If we can let them fight each other first, we can look for opportunities to counterattack again."

If he doesn't form an alliance with Dongsheng and regards Queen Yama as an enemy, does Qixing want to take the whole of Yama Island as his own?

But the resources of this island are not rich, at least not as rich as the mainland.

They didn't even take down Qiguo completely, so they should have no time to annex the evil horse.

Or does the Privy Council actually have other purposes?

It's just that this question is beyond the scope of Wu Yueyao's ability to answer.

After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "You can wait for the next decision. Before that, I want to get in touch with Jinxia, ​​preferably tonight."
