Pawn Crossing the River

Hantrick roared sharply, and the sinners hiding in the darkness poured out one after another.

Arthur recited the language of the Western Continent loudly, stretched out his hand and hammered his chest three times, then raised his giant sword, his whole body emitted a faint white light, and rushed towards the guilty people.

Lingquanzi took a step back, rubbed his hands, and countless sparks flew out. Then the sparks grew in size at a speed visible to the naked eye. After flying three feet away, they were already the size of a human head. After landing, they exploded with flames.

Qi Xuansu did not draw his sword, but took out two blunderbuss and spoke directly with the projectiles engraved with evil-breaking talismans.

Thanks to the prosperity of maritime trade, exchanges between the East and the West have become closer. The development of firearms in the Eastern Continent has been greatly influenced by the Western Continent. For example, the firing pin firegun was invented by the Western Continent and later spread to the Eastern Continent. .

Later, there were obvious differences in the understanding of firearms between the two sides. The Western Continent valued the firearm itself more, while the Eastern Continent believed that the projectiles fired were the key.

As a result, the two sides embarked on a completely different path. Firearms in the Western Continent gradually tended to give up projectiles, while firearms in the Eastern Continent continued to work on projectiles, treating fire blunderbuss as a tool for launching projectiles.

So the Eastern Continent quickly transitioned from lead bullets with separate ammunition to integrated paper-cased fixed-loading ammunition, and then from paper-cased fixed-loading ammunition to metal-cased fixed-loading ammunition. At the same time, various talismans began to be drawn on the bullet cases. Whether it is the "Dragon Gun" or the "Blue Bird Gun", their main power does not come from the gun itself, but from the projectiles.

Qi Xuansu did not shoot randomly, but waited until the flames of Lingquanzi dispersed the blood mist and darkness before taking targeted shots. Moreover, he also kept in mind Arthur's reminder that the key to dealing with these criminals lies in the heart.

Although the projectiles he used were not silver bullets, the Evil-Breaking Talismans had extremely considerable lethality against all non-human beings. What's more, the projectiles Zhang Yuelu handed him were not the projectiles used by ordinary Tiangang Hall Taoist priests, but those specially provided by the deputy hall master. The "Long Jing Yi San" projectile uses Tianjitang's latest gunpowder, which is three times more powerful than ordinary gunpowder.

Qi Xuansu pressed down the hammer and pulled the trigger. A ball of fire exploded in the chamber of the "Dragon Handgun". Almost at the same time, a large hole was blasted through the entire chest of a criminal. He could be seen through the big hole. The scene behind him, and because of the evil-breaking talisman, the wound showed no signs of healing at all.

The criminal howled in pain and fell to his knees weakly.

Qi Xuansu was also surprised by the huge power of the handgun. If Qingluan Guard had such a handgun in his hand, he would be unlucky to use it on himself.

After a brief shock, the other criminal screamed and rushed towards Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu unceremoniously raised the "Blue Bird Hand Gun" with the hammer in his other hand and pulled the trigger again.

Although the power of the "Blue Bird Gun" is inferior to that of the "Shenlong Gun", and the projectiles it is equipped with cannot be compared with the "Dragon Eyes Yi San", it is also a custom-made bullet specially made by Tianjitang and has the effect of destroying evil.

At such a close distance, a deep black hole appeared between the sinner's eyebrows, and his forward momentum was blocked. He fell to the ground with a "bang" and stopped moving.

Qi Xuansu put away the "Blue Bird Gun" and reloaded the "Shenlong Gun".

Arthur also noticed Qi Xuansu's movements, and deliberately stood in front of Qi Xuansu, helping him stop several criminals. Wherever the giant sword passed, the criminals gave way and avoided.

But the most eye-catching one is Zhang Yuelu.

She said to Qi Xuansu that she didn't need the "Dragon Gun", which was not a polite statement. She saw Zhang Yuelu staring at Hantrik closely. When taking action, the five colors of true energy surged, leaving no room for his opponent to breathe. Surprisingly, although she attacks quickly and fiercely, she always gives people a sense of ease and ease, like taking a leisurely stroll.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yuelu caught up with Hantrick, still with fingers like hooks, determined to let Hantrick die in the same way.

Hantrick stretched out his hand to summon a Western Continent stabbing sword condensed with blood, stopped suddenly, and stabbed Zhang Yuelu in the chest. The speed was so fast that only a streak of blood could be seen cutting through the darkness.

That's not all. This blood sword is made of blood, not gold or iron. Therefore, it is like a snake letter, extremely changeable, making it extremely difficult to dodge.

But Zhang Yuelu didn't even think about dodging, he just spread the "five-color smoke" all over his body, like a thick and airtight armor, leaving no flaws, allowing Hantrick's bloody sword to fall on the five-color smoke. .

Hantrick's expression changed drastically in an instant.

Because he clearly felt that although the smoke was not hard, it was very resilient. It not only neutralized most of the force of his sword, but also faintly felt the force of rebound, just like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.

That was all. When Hantrick wanted to put away his sword and retreat, he found that his bloody sword seemed to be stuck in a muddy swamp, and it was extremely difficult to recover it.

Seeing Zhang Yuelu's five fingers falling again, Hantrick could only reluctantly give up the blood sword, and his whole body turned into a ball of blood mist to avoid Zhang Yuelu's claw.

It's just that the foundation of the sinner lies in blood. The blood sword was transformed by his own blood. Losing the blood sword is like a gecko's tail being cut off. It still damages the foundation and it will take a long time to completely make up for it.

This exchange was only between lightning and flint. In the blink of an eye, Hantrick re-consolidated into a human form in the distance, but his face became paler.

An obvious fact was placed in front of him. He was no match for this woman. This was not about losing in one and a half moves, but losing in whatever way he fought. If he didn't want to die here, he would have to think of other ways. .

Hantrick screamed, turned around and dashed towards the depths of the dungeon.

Those ordinary criminals also receded like the tide.

Zhang Yuelu did not rush ahead because of greed for success, lest he fall into someone else's trick or backtracking.

Arthur grabbed a criminal who had time to escape, threw him heavily on the ground, and was about to chop off his head with a sword.

Lingquanzi stopped him: "Leave it to me."

When Arthur heard this, he stopped what he was doing and saw Lingquanzi's eyes suddenly brightened. The sinner then yelled and fainted.

After a moment, Lingquanzi reached out and pointed at the sinner lying on the ground and said the word "get up". The sinner stood up unsteadily, his face dull.

Lingquanzi ordered: "Lead the way."

The guilty people actually understood this Central Plains mandarin, nodded, turned around slowly, and walked towards the depths of the dungeon.

This is the unique magical power of the alchemist after entering the dreamland, forcibly invading the opponent's soul, and in a short period of time, controlling the opponent's mind, making him a puppet who obeys orders. In addition, it can also cause blindness, deafness, madness, self-commitment, etc.

Under the leadership of this sinner, the four of them continued deep into the dungeon, bypassing many traps set by the sinners in advance, which made people marvel at the magician's mysterious methods.

In fact, this was an intentional arrangement by the real person in charge, to equip Zhang Yuelu with two helpers, one civil and one martial, that is, a martial artist and an alchemist. Sun Yongfeng was not good at fighting with others, but Xu Kou was a genuine martial artist. It was just a plan. Unable to keep up with the changes, Xu Kou was injured and could not come, leaving only Lingquanzi, a alchemist.

Soon, the four of them came to the depths of the dungeon, which was even more open. There were many cross-shaped torture racks with many bones tied with iron chains, as well as bell-shaped iron cages hung on the dome with iron chains. , which is also full of bones.

Then there were all kinds of torture instruments that he knew or didn't recognize. Arthur recognized the famous "Iron Maiden". From the outside, it looked like an upright human-shaped coffin. The inside was hollow, with two opposite sides on the left and right. There are sharp nails inside the door. Once the door is closed, the people inside will feel the pain of the nails piercing their bodies.

Just looking at the degree of weathering of these bones, it seems that they were not recently created, as they have all been dead for more than a hundred years.

Lingquanzi turned his left palm over and took out another bead from his sleeve. The overall color was deep, but there was a hint of fiery red color in the center, just like an eye pupil.

This is the "Fengyan Jiajiu" produced by Tianjitang. It is made from the secret medicine of fierce fire and has amazing power.

Lingquanzi handed "Fengyan Jiajiu" into the puppet's hands, and then patted it on the shoulder.

The puppet held "Fengyan Jiajiu" tightly in his palm and continued to walk forward.

After walking about a hundred steps, two blood shadows appeared from the darkness and flew towards the puppet.

At this moment, the puppet detonated the "Fengyan Jiajiu" in his hand, and a flame several feet high suddenly rose up, engulfing it and the two blood shadows.

"Fengyan Jiajiu" is even more powerful than "Dragon Eyes Yijiu" and is flammable when exposed to water.

In an instant, the fire spread rapidly and turned into a sea of ​​​​fire. A sinner hiding in the dark was unable to dodge and was contaminated a little. He immediately turned into a burning man and collided with the surrounding sinners. Other sinners also followed. It was burning, rolling all over the ground, hoarse and wailing, and even smelled of burnt flesh. The situation was indescribably miserable.

Qi Xuansu was quite envious. In fact, Sanren also had similar magical powers, but they could only be acquired at the stage of Heaven and Human.

Lingquanzi took out another "Fengyan Jiajiu" and handed it to Qi Xuansu's hand, saying: "Deacon Qi, take one for self-defense. After injecting the true energy for about three breaths, you can throw it out. Remember, remember."

Qi Xuansu put the "Phoenix Eye Jiajiu" into his sleeve pocket and nodded in agreement.

The raging flames spread rapidly, and ordinary criminals were unable to withstand the power of the fire and turned into charred corpses one after another. However, in the deepest part of the dungeon, there were countless blood-red rays of light flowing around like gauze, making the spreading flames stop there and unable to move forward at all. .

Behind the "gauze", there is a hexagonal coffin with a wide top and a narrow bottom as high as a person, which is completely different from Daxuan's coffin.

At this time, the lid of the coffin has been opened, and inside lies a mummy dressed in the dress of a noble from the Western Continent. There is no trace of flesh and blood on the body, except that it has an extra layer of gray skin that looks like dry tree bark, and eye sockets. Hollow, full of wrinkles, very hideous and terrifying.

Under the coffin, there is a mysterious magic circle painted with blood.
