Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 18: A Thousand Miles Away, One Heart
Wei Xingying was the first to spot the attacker whose head and body were separated. He kicked the head that was facing the ground with his toes and turned it over. Only then could he see the man's appearance clearly. This sight was not a big deal, but it actually frightened Wei Xingying so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
If the memory of the old man from the Kongming tribe that I read earlier was correct, the corpse in front of me must be of great origin! It was even no less than the Wuchang Patriarch who chased them before. He was also a well-known figure in the Kongming tribe!
Fu Yi, together with Ancestor Wuchang, are known as the two ancestors of the Kongming clan. They are called ancestors not only because of their age, but also because of their strength. They were both the masters of the clan leader Yan Zhu.
Wei Xingying also knew about the old ancestor Wuchang. In those days, that old guy had fought with Long Yu's uncle, and Long Yu almost lost to him. Fortunately, Long Yu used the magic weapon Blood Condensation Sword at the critical moment to turn defeat into victory. As for Fu Yi, just looking at his previous majestic Thunder Art, it was clear that his strength was far superior to all of them present. Even if the four of them worked together, they would definitely not get any advantage.
However, such a strong man was killed in the blink of an eye! Just by looking at the cuts on his head and body, one can guess what a horrible knife it was! The man's expression didn't even change at all, there was no fear or strangeness on his face, which meant that he was killed without knowing it!
Being able to kill such a strong man with one sword, is this really what a human being can do? Moreover, the most terrifying thing is that the person who killed him has never revealed his true identity! At least Wei Xingying has never seen a single person, even though Yan Lili has been calling his name.
If this was really done by the Mo Yi mentioned by Ying Lili, then this person called Mo Yi was really too scary! With such strength, if he was an enemy of the Ruoye tribe... Wei Xingying didn't even dare to think about it!
"Miss Ying, are you sure that this man was killed by the Mo Yi you mentioned?" Qingluan had also come over at this time. After she squatted down and took a closer look at the corpse, she spoke in an incredulous tone.
"You saw him just now, too, didn't you? He was clearly here just now..." However, Ying Lili seemed to have not heard what Qingluan said at all. She turned her head hurriedly and looked at Wei Xingying, asking him for confirmation, and even hurriedly gestured with her hands to the place where Mo Yi had just appeared.
Wei Xingying and Zeze looked at each other, as if they saw a trace of confusion in each other's eyes, and then they looked at Qingluan together. Qingluan's face with a bronze mask did not show any expression . However, Wei Xingying noticed that Qingluan's hands were trembling slightly at this time. What was she afraid of?
"If I'm not mistaken, this is the 'Mirror Flower Water Moon' technique. The person you just saw, Miss Ying, is actually not here at all. What you saw was just a spirit he created with the 'Mirror Flower Water Moon' technique, just like a wandering soul." After a while, Qingluan suddenly spoke. Before she could finish, Yinglili rushed up and interrupted her: "Then where is he?"
"G, I'm not too sure about this. I just heard my master mention this technique a long time ago. I have a vague impression of it, but I've never seen it in person in my life." As if sensing the unusual excitement of Ping Lili at the moment, Qingluan subconsciously took two steps back.
"But I never thought that this 'Mirror Flower Water Moon' technique would be so powerful. Just a wisp of spirit could burst out such a strong spiritual power, and it could kill a peerless master with one sword. This level of cultivation is not like that of a human being!" Qingluan couldn't help sighing, and even wondered in his heart, who is better, that person's cultivation or the master's? When I was practicing in Penglai Fairyland before, I thought that the master was the top master in the world. Now I know that in this virtual world, there are always people better than you.
But at this time, Ping Lili didn't care how strong Mo Yi was. She just wanted to know where Mo Yi was now?
"Since he used something called 'Mirror Flower and Water Moon', shouldn't he be nearby?" Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in Ping Lili's heart. She looked at Qingluan with hope, hoping to hear some good news from the other party.
Unfortunately, what Qing Luan said after hesitating for a moment disappointed her again: "That's not necessarily true. I seem to have heard Master mention that the 'Mirror Flower Water Moon' technique can kill people without them even if they are thousands of miles away. It is a top-notch illusion technique."
The golden brown eyes of Ping Lili dimmed again in an instant. She thought that even if they were thousands of miles away, they should be in the Void Realm. So, was Mo Yi really in the Void Realm? This thought made her suddenly happy. No matter what, as long as Mo Yi came to the Void Realm, they would definitely meet again. Ping Lili believed this without a doubt, but the feeling of loss in her heart was beyond words.
Qingluan pondered for a moment, and suddenly said to Gong Lili for no reason: "However, what I find strange is why that person suddenly came to help you? And how did he know your whereabouts, or how did he know that you were in danger at that time?"
Ping Lili hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to explain the relationship between herself and Mo Yi to the three curious people. She stammered, "He is an old friend of mine." In fact, she wanted to say that he was her lover, but when the words came to her lips, she changed the term.
"An old friend..." Yinglili's lie was indeed not very convincing, and Qingluan did not seem to believe it: "I guess there must be a deep bond between you and him, or because you have something in your hand that is in tune with his heart, so he can feel you and even help you at that moment."
After these words were spoken, everyone understood the strangeness of this. At this moment, all eyes fell on Gong Lili, or to be more precise, on the black iron short blade in Gong Lili's hand. Everyone noticed that the ice-blue light curtain was transformed from the black iron short blade!
Could it be that the key object is the black iron short blade in Ying Lili's hand?
Ping Lili also came back to her senses at this time. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that what Qingluan said made some sense. This black iron short blade was something that Mo Yi always carried with him. If it was said that this thing and Mo Yi were in tune with each other, she had every reason to believe it, because every time she touched this black iron short blade, she could feel his breath, although she had always thought it was an illusion before.
Moreover, she felt that there was something wrong with the black iron short blade from just now. What was even more strange was that at that critical moment, the "Dark Domain Golden Shadow" disappeared without a trace.
There are probably not many people in this world who can scare those ancient monsters and even make them silent, and Mo Yi is definitely that kind of person. Suddenly, Ping Lili remembered for no reason the method Mo Yi used to subdue the Qiongqi during the Yonghui competition that day.
However, before he could think about it further, suddenly, bursts of horns and drums came from the valley ahead, and shouts of killing were heard everywhere!
Wei Xingying was the first person to react. His expression suddenly became serious and he shouted, "We can't stay here for long! Get out quickly and make plans later!"
Everyone immediately realized their current situation, and Ping Lili hurriedly suppressed his inappropriate emotions. The most important thing now was to save his own life!
With great tacit understanding, the four of them rushed towards the end of the valley like a startled wild goose!
But at this moment Wei Xingying's heart was even heavier. When he read the memory of the old man from the Kongming tribe before, he got a lot of useful information. He was busy escaping all the way and had no time to digest it one by one. When facing everything that was becoming more and more weird just now, he was forced to carefully sort out those useful clues in his mind.
He had known from the beginning that there was an ambush in the valley, and he also read something more important from the memory of that guy named Yan Yun, which was that the army of the Kongming tribe had actually bypassed the defense line of the Dragon Cavalry Army and went directly to Yonghui City three days ago under the personal leadership of their tribe leader Yan Zhu!
The two groups of people who stayed here to deal with the Dragon Riders were the disciples of the old ancestor Wu Chang, the authentic Kongming wizards. The other group was the ragtag army led by the man named Fu Yi who died in front of him. It was called a ragtag army because the people under his command were not pure Kongming wizards, but a team composed of captured mercenaries from various tribes they had conquered before. Of course, before this, Wei Xingying didn't know that there were zombies in this ragtag army.
The first is to contain the Dragon Cavalry and attack Yonghui City by surprise!
Secondly, they relied on the unique geographical location here which was easy to defend but difficult to attack to leave a retreat for themselves. If the army led by the clan leader Yan Zhu to the south failed to capture Yonghui City, or if any accident occurred, they could still calmly retreat back to the territory of the Kongming clan.
Thirdly, just in case, this is the only way to go from the Ruoye tribe to the Kongming tribe. As long as this pass is guarded, there will be no worries.
Now that Fu Yi was killed, the Kongming tribe ambushed in the valley was leaderless. For the Dragon Cavalry, this was a great opportunity to retake the valley! However, what Wei Xingying found strange was that Fu Yi had just been killed, and the Dragon Cavalry immediately launched an attack. This was too much of a coincidence.
What kind of medicine is in General Su Ye’s gourd?
What's more, what he couldn't figure out the most was how the Dragon Cavalry lost the valley in the first place?
Even if the Kongming tribe came with a large army, with a large number of people, the Dragon Cavalry could at least resist the Kongming tribe for ten days if they relied on the dangerous terrain of the valley to defend the valley. However, according to Na Yanyun's memory, the Dragon Cavalry set up a defense line at Hengyue River at the beginning and fought a bloody battle with the Kongming tribe, but they were defeated! In less than a day, they even lost this natural barrier!
Those people of the Kongming tribe thought that the dragon cavalry of the Ruoye tribe was just in name only and was nothing special, so they did not take the remaining dragon cavalry seriously at all. The army actually bypassed them and marched straight to Yonghui City.
But just because the Kongming tribe didn't understand, it didn't mean Wei Xingying didn't understand either. This didn't seem like the style of the brave Dragon Cavalry! According to Wei Xingying's understanding of General Su Ye, that person was a pure war maniac. Even if he was defeated, he would fight to the last man! How could he be so easily...
Wei Xingying suddenly began to doubt his previous decision. Was it really a good idea to join the Dragon Cavalry?
