The Sword Named No Way Out

The city of Sui was already surrounded by raging flames, but there was still a blank area outside the city temporarily. It was all due to Yue Sheng Liu Xuzhi's people who used a lot of spiritual power to suppress and extinguish the fire. The monks flicked their swords back and forth, taking out the people trapped in the city and placing them in temporary camps. Everyone was in a hurry to find their lost relatives and children, crying loudly and in chaos.

"Where is my girl, who saw my girl!" A woman with disheveled hair cried out in despair, "Ninny! Mother is here, nannie!"

Suddenly there was a loud cry from far to near: "Mother! Mother!"

When the woman turned her head, she felt as if she had found a treasure, crying loudly and hugging the lost little girl. The little girl was so frightened that she kept shaking violently and calling her mother, then turned back to find someone with sobs: "Big brother rescued me! Thank you big brother!"

The woman looked around gratefully, but she couldn't see any big brother at all: "Where? Where is the benefactor who rescued you?"

"It's the one in black, it was over there just now!" the little girl said in a childish voice, tears still wet, "Big brother—"

Ying Kai stood quietly not far away, watching the reunited mother and daughter.

After a while, he lowered his eyes and disappeared into the crowd.

There are victims running in a hurry everywhere, with anxious or desperate faces in their eyes. Ying Kai shuttled through the crowd like a ghost, listening to the endless cries in his ears, his thoughts went blank.

Suddenly there was a sharp cry not far away, and a middle-aged man knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "My mother is still inside, please help my mother! She is in the courtyard at the top of Wutong Lane in the south of the city. It's eighty! She can't escape by herself!"

However, the few young monks kowtowed by him couldn't help but retreat, and someone said: "The south of the city has been sealed by fire, and we can't get in either!"

"Accumulate good deeds! Please accumulate good deeds! You can fly, and you will definitely be able to save my mother!"

Several young disciples were almost crying: "No, it's too hot! We Yujian can't rush in!"

The man turned a deaf ear, and rushed up to hug the man's thigh: "I beg you, I'm the only one! You can't just leave him alone—"

The crowd of onlookers were discussing, Ying Kai stopped and his pupils narrowed slightly.

I saw a girl dressed as a disciple of Le Sheng couldn't bear it after all, she gritted her teeth and said, "I, I'll try it! I'm light and fast with my sword, maybe there's still time!"

The man rushed forward with tears streaming down his face, screaming like a Bodhisattva, but the monks beside him immediately stopped him in shock: "Junior Sister, please do not!" "The south of the city was sealed to death by fire, do you know that?" "It can't be rescued at all! You will die in it!"

"Nonsense, you are all talking nonsense! You are ignorant of death!" The man fainted anxiously, kept pushing the monks, then knelt down and kowtowed to the girl: "You are different from them, you are a Bodhisattva lady! Please! I beg you!" The rest of the monks held on to the girl and said, "Never go!" "Do you want to die in the fire!"

…

There was a lot of voices and discussions around, but Ying Kai closed his eyes, as if he had fallen into an absurd and never-ending dream.

"It's so pitiful, the man has gold under his knees..." "You can't say that, the girl has no responsibility to save the old lady for him!" "That's right! What if a good girl dies in the fire?" That's not your mother, you can make sarcastic remarks!"...

"Aren't you all good?" At this time, the man in the crowd was going crazy, holding on to the girl's skirt and yelling at the other monks hoarsely: "Aren't you going to become immortals and gods? Why do you refuse to save me? You are not as good as pigs and dogs!"

The discussions around suddenly exploded. The girl faced everyone's eyes, blushed in the tension between the two parties, and cried desperately to her senior brothers and sisters: "Just let me go! Just let me go! I ——"

Suddenly, a wave of spiritual power from the crowd hit her, and the girl was forcibly silenced, and her whole body stood stiffly in place, and the chaos stopped for a moment.

A monk said in surprise: "Fixed body method?!"

"Don't go." A voice rang in the girl's ear, with indescribable exhaustion and self-mockery, said: "They are not worth it."

The girl suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Immediately afterwards, among the bustling crowd, a figure in a black robe rose from the back with a sword, and quickly swept towards the south of the city under everyone's astonished eyes!

Immediately amazed: "There is really someone to rescue!" "Don't die!"...

The man reacted suddenly, chased after a few steps ecstatically, then knelt down and kowtowed with a plop: "Immortal! There is no way to repay your great kindness! You must be a living immortal!"

However, the black-robed figure didn't turn his head, and didn't even glance at the man, as if the tears of gratitude under his feet, the anxious gaze, and the boiling discussion had nothing to do with him.

He just passed by the world indifferently, and disappeared into the raging flames.

The south of the city has indeed been blocked by a wall of fire. Although there are no open flames in the streets and alleys, the bright crackling sound of burning in the distance is constantly approaching. Other than that, there is no human voice. The streets full of gunpowder smoke are empty, and the people have already fled.

Ying Kai landed in front of a residential house at the end of the alley, stretched out his hand and pushed lightly, squeak——

The rattan gate opened, and what appeared in front of me was a small and dilapidated house. An old woman was sitting hunched under the window, looking up.

Ying Kai stopped walking.

He originally thought that the man's eighty-year-old mother was also crying for help at home, but who would have thought that the old woman moved into a small house and sat in the yard, her coarse clothes were patched with a few patches, she was very clean and tidy, her gray hair was not messed up, and she was holding Peeled beans in two pots.

"Young man, are you... Taoist?" The old woman couldn't help but widen her wrinkled eyes.

Ying Kai opened his mouth to meet her surprised gaze, but the word "yes" didn't come out immediately.

——He was going to say that your son entrusted me to save you, but he closed his mouth for some reason, watching her without saying a word.

The old lady didn't understand what he meant, and tremblingly said: "The fire is almost here! Why don't you run away? If you don't run away, you won't be able to leave!"

"..."

Ying Kai's heart suddenly moved, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and said in a strange way: "I'm too injured, I can't walk anymore."

When the old woman heard this, she became anxious, got up and went to the house, brought out another small scorpion in a short while, and placed it in the yard, forced Ying Kai to sit opposite her, looked at him with concern and asked, "Are you hungry? "

Ying Kai's eyes fell on the half-peeled beans on the ground, and instead of answering, he asked, "Old man, why don't you run for your life? Didn't the monks from Yanchun Terrace outside come to the south of the city to save people?"

The old woman said loudly, "Ke stretched loose, fished and peeled the beans again, and said, "I've been here before! I heard it all in the house, flying back and forth to pick up people out of town! But I am so old, and the young people in the neighborhood can't be saved, so why should I join in the fun? I just want to wait until those women and children have escaped! Waiting and waiting, I didn't see those little Taoists and nuns flying back again. I think it's probably because the fire has been completely burned, and they can't even fly in! "

She put a handful of peeled beans into another basin, and sighed: "I just wanted to, don't come back again, it will only take half a quarter of an hour for the fire to burn, don't do it just to save me." Poor old lady, let the little Taoists and the little Taoists themselves get in. I heard the daughter-in-law of the old Li head next door say before leaving that my son and his family were rescued by some little Taoists from the shop—— What is there to worry about?"

Ying Kai was silent for a long time, grabbed a handful of beans, and slowly peeled them.

The two of them sat face to face peeling the green beans, and the old woman babbled and said, "I don't have anything to do, I just want to cook a meal before I leave—I can't go on the road hungry, I have to be a hungry ghost if I die." I don’t have anything to eat at home, so I’m thinking about cooking the beans and eating them!”

Ying Kai peeled a bean and put it into a clean basin, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you want to live?"

"If you want to live, you can't drag others to die." The old woman sighed: "People, pregnancy in October, it's ripe; when the time comes, go cleanly. Follow this natural law, don't you want to be peaceful? ?”

She peeled the last bean, wiped her hands on the apron, picked up the basin and walked into the house.

At this time, the crackling sound became more and more clear, and the smell of burning in the air became heavier and heavier. Looking at the back of the old woman, Ying Kai suddenly asked: "Then what if I can still live?"

The old woman froze for a moment, then turned her head in doubt.

Ying Kai pulled out Ding Shanhai slowly in front of her.

Ding Shanhai was too conspicuous, so he performed a spell before, and the monks and mortals in Suicheng couldn't notice the existence of the sword. But now that he pulled out the sword himself, a cold light shone from the edge of the sword, which was reflected in the muddy eyes of the old lady.

"This sword can only carry one person." Ying Kai looked at the old woman calmly, and slowly handed the hilt forward, saying: "As long as you take it away, it will naturally take you to the camp outside the city. Reunite with family and grandchildren.”

The air froze for a moment, the old woman's trembling eyes fell on the sword, and her lips moved twice.

Ying Kai's pupils were extremely constricted, as if he had stopped breathing.

Immediately afterwards, the old woman suddenly turned around without warning, and quickly walked into the house with a basin in her hand.

The clanging of pots and bowls and the sound of boiling water could be heard in the room. Ying Kai only waited for a moment, when the curtain of the house was lifted, and the old woman came out in a hurry. She was holding a small bag of floral flowers in her hand, which was still warm, she lifted Ying Kai's hand and couldn't help but stuff the bag to him, and then held Ying Kai's hand tightly with her old palms. "Aren't you too hungry to walk? There are only a few beans left at home. I cooked them. You can eat them quickly and go!" She pulled Ying Kai's shoulders, pushed him out of the yard, and said anxiously "Hurry up, I won't be able to fly out any later!" Ying Kai staggered and was pushed out of the small courtyard by the old woman. At this time, there was a loud "Boom!" three streets away, and a black fire more than ten feet high shot up. Go up to the sky and quickly move to this side!

"Let's go! Don't worry about it!" The old woman waved her hands eagerly: "Young people should be good! Let's go!"

The flames have burned into a wall, and they are advancing rapidly towards this side, with black smoke covering the sky and the sun.

Ying Kai stood in front of the dilapidated courtyard wall, trembling and closing his eyes.

For the first time in 9,000 years, the wailing and questioning like a gangrene sounded from my ears again, but was suppressed by a more anxious, louder, and more real and clear cry——

"The flood is coming, how can you stand idly by?!"

"Let's go, don't worry about it!"

"Aren't you going to become a fairy and become a god? How can you not save the common people?!"

"I won't be able to fly out any later, let's go!"

"Do you know that the common people have been begging him for seven days, and he just ascended for himself..."

boom!

The black fire crushed the courtyard wall, and the raging fire dragon came from the sky. But at this moment, the figure of the old woman emerged from the black smoke. She tremblingly took a basin of water, but with the strength she didn't know where, she forcibly protected Ying Kai behind her, and desperately poured the water towards the sky-high fire wall!

——The spray like a praying man's arm blocking a car was suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Soaring flames, splashing sparks, steaming black smoke...all solidified at that moment, reflected in the panicked and anxious eyes of the old woman.

"Thank you." Ying Kai turned to look at her, his eyes were slightly red: "I still can't reconcile with myself, but at least... I can reconcile with this world."

As soon as he flicked his sleeves, the hurricane rose from the ground, and the incomparable vigor spread away in a circular shape!

With this unremarkable house as the center, the surrounding fire walls fell backwards at the same time, were forcibly flattened amidst the bang, and went out suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, the divine power burst out, turning into tens of thousands of bright arc lights, rushing in all directions under the sky!

From Mount Dai in the east, to the capital in the west, to Yejinmen in the south, and to Tianmen Pass in the north... The huge magic circle condensed with divine power is constantly advancing, destroying the city and pulling out the stronghold, and the black fire raging everywhere will turn into green smoke and extinguish as soon as it is touched .

"Is this... is this a miracle?"

"Fire out, fire out!"

"saved!--"

The tears of the girl in the camp outside Suicheng were still wet, and the mother and daughter who hugged tightly were stunned. The crowd who raised their heads stopped for a few breaths, and then erupted into ecstatic shouts, which quickly spread across the land, and the wailing and cheering went straight to the sky!

All over the land of the world, millions of scorched black mechanism wreckages were exposed to the sun, silently turned into powder, and disappeared without a trace in the gust of wind.

Outside the courtyard in the small alley, the old woman staggered back half a step, the small basin in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, and asked tremblingly, "Are you... are you a living god?"

"I'm not." Ying Kai replied hoarsely, "I should have been a mortal."

He held Ding Shanhai in one hand, and still tightly held the warm floral cloth bag in the other hand, put it into his sleeve with trembling hands, and smiled shortly: "Thank you for the beans, I accept them."

The old woman opened her eyes wide.

In the next moment, silver light rose from the flat ground, and Ying Kai Yujian charged high into the sky. The majestic vigor made the old lady take several steps back in shock.

A majestic sword light came from the sky under the sky, it was Xu Shuangce who was galloping here from afar!

--boom!

Ding Shanhai got out of her sheath, and received the blow with a shocking effect!

Coming from Yejinmen to Suicheng, across the north and south of the sky, even the divine swords such as Bai Taishou and Bu Naihe couldn't come in an instant. Xu Shuangce himself was still thousands of miles away, and it was too late to make a second sword at this moment.

Gong Wei's clear youthful voice pierced through, wrapped in divine power, and shouted hoarsely: "Senior brother—"

Ying Kai's footsteps froze suddenly.

"..."

Beiyuan Shangshen looked deeply at the two familiar figures galloping towards the end of the sea of ​​clouds, and for a long while responded in a low voice with a volume that only he could hear: "Yes, senior brother is here."

Then he finally gritted his teeth, forced himself to turn around, and rushed to the upper heaven without looking back, passing through the bright gate of heaven behind the clouds!

The next moment, Ying Kai appeared on the northern wall of the Upper Heaven Realm.

The moment his footsteps landed, a roar resounded through the Three Realms, and the burning platinum barrier enveloped the entire Beiyuan Temple from all sides, sealing off this huge territory into a vast isolated island, and all the shocking discussions and movements outside were suppressed. Completely isolated from outside the enchantment.

On the ninety-nine wide steps, Ying Kai looked up at the familiar majestic temple. After a long while, he seemed to have finally made up his mind. His mandibles showed clear lines because of the tight teeth, and he stretched out his hand and pushed open the huge temple door.

boom

Several rays of light illuminated the hall from the entrance, and under the white jade seat in front, there was a young boy's back standing as expected, purple flowers embroidered on the hem of his robe, his white hands carelessly holding a blood sword, he turned his head in search of a voice, showing a handsome face face.

It's the ghost prince.

"Have you extinguished the flames in the world?" He raised the corners of his eyebrows sharply and asked Ying Kai with a smile.
