Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 103 Tears of the Blood Moon
Rustle...
A blood-red meteor, flashing dazzling light and dragging a long tail, fell from the dark night sky through the bright moon!
At that moment, the meteor emitted hundreds of times more light than other stars, and its blood- red color almost illuminated the bright moon and the sky...
However, the brilliance only lasted for a moment.
Soon, the blood-red meteor disappeared from the sky.
It looked like the silent bright moon silently dripping a drop of blood-red tear.
But just this moment of brilliance attracted the attention of almost all the strong men in Wulong Town!
At the tea party at Yangxian Tower, Lu Huang stood up and looked towards the window in shock. He muttered almost audibly, "Star-loved One..."
On the terrace on the third floor of Yangxian Tower, the ghost grandfather, who was holding a teacup and looking at the low wall in the distance, raised his eyes, looked quietly at the night sky, and sighed regretfully.
The meteor that passed through the blood moon only shined for a few brief breaths before being gone in a flash.
However, because it was too dazzling and too strange, many people in Wulong Town saw this star change.
It’s just that in Wulong Town, there aren’t many people who react like Lu Huang and Ghost Grandpa.
The leader of the Qintian Sect, who was practicing martial arts in the courtyard of a mountaintop away from Wulong Town, suddenly stopped his sword and said, "A star-loving person has died in Wulong Town..."
"Wulong Town?" A beautiful woman holding a towel beside him frowned slightly, "How can a place like Wulong Town have Star-loved People?"
"Alas." The gray-haired old man sighed, "What a pity! I don't know... who took advantage of it."
Dozens of five- and six-star warriors from the Qintian Sect, the Zhaixing Sect, as well as the Feishi City and Yisu Academy which are the closest to Wulong Town, all let out different sighs at the same moment.
The gate of Hidden Blue Villa is closed today.
However, the ancestor of the Lan family, who was sitting in the hall, looked up and saw the meteor falling into the darkness like a tear of the blood moon.
His brows furrowed.
Although he didn't know what was going on, he felt as if something deep in his blood was being touched, and he felt an inexplicable strong sense of uneasiness.
"Isn't something going to happen?"
The old ancestor of the Lan family stared at the already dark night sky with a frown on his face. Not only was the feeling of uneasiness not suppressed, but on the contrary, it became more and more intense as the night deepened.
…
Almost at the same time as the meteor streaked across the sky, Tang Zheng saw a circle of pale silver halo rising up from the outermost circle of a star on the dimming star sign from Lan Shaoze.
That layer of light silver halo floated in the air for two or three breaths, and then, as if it had found its target, it quickly flew towards Tang Zheng and almost hit his first life palace!
On Tang Zheng's purple-gold constellation, the half-black and half-white star, the black half was hit head-on by the circle of halo, and a layer of color similar to the previous halo appeared.
Suddenly, the star power in his body surged again!
All the two-star power seemed to be cleansed again by the power of the moon, becoming more friendly to him and easier to control.
After his body was cleansed by the power of the moon, more than a hundred strands of two-star star power appeared out of thin air. The Tianji star in the second life palace also became brighter because of these one hundred strands of star power.
Tang Zheng didn't think much about it and immediately squatted down to touch the corpse.
"Yuhua Seal, Yuhua Seal..." Tang Zheng had not originally held out hope that Lan Shaoze would carry the damaged Yuhua Seal with him.
After all, a damaged pendant is of no help in the cultivation of star power.
But when he touched it casually, he touched a beautifully carved seal.
This precious seal was not as big as the jade seal that Tang Zheng had imagined. It was only the size of a palm and dark red all over. However, the dark red color varied slightly in different places. Tang Zheng estimated that this was the Wasteland Rain Flower Stone that Ban Yilou mentioned, which was stained with at least twelve different kinds of blood.
Under the dark red base, you can clearly see the intricate purple-gold array patterns engraved in it. The engraved patterns are like winding rivers, and look like a casual painting. On the deep and light-colored rain flower stones, it seems that the mountains are separated and lines of smoke are outlined...
It is not a painting, but it is better than a painting.
The formation pattern that seems so casual can construct such a powerful auxiliary formation.
This is the dark engraving technique!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Tang Zheng simply couldn't imagine the exquisite craftsmanship of the engraving!
He turned the Yuhua Seal over and saw that it indeed contained four large characters - Qinling Academy.
It was this treasure that was once given as a graduation gift from the Qinling Academy to the top ten graduates each year.
Tang Zheng put away the Yuhua Seal and found a few postal notes on Lan Shaoze. He picked one up, looked at it, and threw it aside.
"It's taking much longer than expected. I wonder if we can catch up with the last drop of Baihua Chaolu." Tang Zheng shook his head and looked at Lan Shaoze's body. "I'll lend you your head!"
…
The moon is bright in the sky and the night is cool as water.
In just half a minute, Tang Zheng changed into a set of clean clothes and took a shortcut back to Yangxian Tower.
Just as he climbed over the second wall, a sharp silver light shot out. He dodged quickly, and the wound on his body that had just stopped bleeding was affected again.
"Who?" Tang Zheng asked a question that he shouldn't have asked.
He could now feel that his two-star strength was very unstable, and his injuries made it difficult for him to continue fighting.
If Lan Shaoze was killed, but died at the hands of an unknown little guy, that would be too unfair.
"Accept Yingshan's entrustment and take your life." The black shadow answered coldly and attacked again.
Tang Zheng had also heard that for the same mission in Yingshan, three failures were allowed. After three times, the star rating would either be increased or the task would be canceled directly.
And the mission of killing him has been attempted by two assassins.
Today's assassin obviously knew how to choose the right time. He chose the time when Tang Zheng was at his weakest and most unable to fight back!
However, Tang Zheng glanced at his face and had no intention of fighting. He moved his feet, and the blood in his body was suddenly aroused. His star image rose, and with a slight turn of star power, the whole person flew into the air...
A thick blood mist enveloped him as he rose and fell in the night sky.
"Two stars?" The assassin took a look at Tang Zheng's horoscope and was slightly stunned. But during this moment of stunnedness, he found that he seemed unable to catch up with Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng was galloping all the way.
The Blood Shadow Escape Technique, because the star power guidance on it was not complete, he had basically never practiced it, so it was originally just a last resort for his final retreat when he fought with Lan Shaoze.
However, he still killed Lan Shaoze in person!
Since he didn't need the Blood Shadow Escape Technique, he just used it to dodge the pursuit of the Shadow Mountain Assassin.
He didn't land until he reached the low wall of Yangxian Tower.
Azhi had just finished saying "two hundred" and was about to raise his head when he saw Tang Zheng returning to him.
"What are you doing here?" Tang Zheng looked at Azhi strangely.
"Count." Azhi looked Tang Zheng up and down and answered unhappily.
"Why are you squatting in the corner counting in the middle of the night? What's your hobby?" Tang Zheng's look became even more strange.
"..." Ah Zhi snorted coldly , "I like it, what's it to you?"
What he didn't say was that he had miscounted twice. If he had said it, Tang Zheng would have laughed out loud and disrespectfully.
Fortunately, Tang Zheng did not ask him how many he counted. Ah Zhi just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Tang Zheng ask again: "That sword, was it fun?"
Azhi's face turned green. Would he die if he didn't mention that sword?
Tang Zheng then emphasized: "I owe you a life, but there is no future debt."
"Hmph, you don't need to remind me!" Ah Zhi turned his head away, still upset that his sword did not kill Lan Shaoze.
But tonight he got more.
There were so many things about Tang Zheng that he didn't understand, and he wanted to understand...
The swapped cup, Lan Shaoze's reactions at every step, Tang Zheng's preparation and the timing of his attack. He suddenly realized that assassination seemed to mean more than just "killing someone when it's dark". When he returned to Tangjiabao, he still had a hundred thousand whys to ask Tang Zheng.
But now, the most important question for him is only one: "Did you kill him?"
Tang Zheng curled his lips and smiled, raising the star behind him: "What do you think?"
Ah Zhi looked at the two stars on his purple gold constellation waving in the wind and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Are you crazy? You just reached the peak of the first star and you are directly striving for the second star. Aren't you afraid of killing yourself?"
His little nose twitched.
Although Tang Zheng restrained his Blood Shadow Escape Technique, the blood on his body did not disappear immediately. Anyone who had killed someone would be able to smell the injuries hidden under his clean clothes, which should not be too light.
Tang Zheng didn't say much, just smiled: "That...it's a long story."
The two men climbed over the low wall and headed back towards Yangxian Tower.
After just two steps, Tang Zheng and A Zhi stopped at the same time...
Behind them, there was the sound of someone following them over the low wall and landing on the ground!
"Oh my, it's not over yet today, right? Let me see..." Tang Zheng turned around with a smile, but the words stopped in his throat.
When Ah Zhi saw this, he was like a little leopard , his body was already bent into a fighting stance!
The person standing in front of them was Xu Qingyan!
The only three-star warrior beside Lan Shaoze!
"Don't get in the way of my fight, you little burden." Ah Zhi shouted at Tang Zheng, "Go!"
Tang Zheng was speechless.
He is also at the initial stage of two stars, and Azhi is also at the initial stage of two stars. What basis does this kid have to say that he is a burden?
He glanced at Xu Qingyan for a moment, then walked back slowly, stretched out his hand and tapped Ah Zhi on the head, saying with a smile: "Why are you so nervous? Tell me why I want to leave?"
