One joke from the witch, I open the gate of heaven with one sword

Chapter 82 Qingzhou surrounded by monsters

Qingzhou,

This town is no longer as prosperous as it used to be with merchants from all over the place, and even the seemingly solid city walls are now crumbling.

The chaos of monsters and beasts caused this place to be devastated. If it were not for the assistance of the Xuanjing Division and the Tiance Army, this place would have been in ruins long ago.

But at this moment, a rapid sound of drum beating spread throughout Qingzhou.

"Dong dong dong dong dong."

Six consecutive drum beats spread, and many practitioners in the city sighed.
The sound of drums means that the monster beasts have once again launched an attack on the town.
Six strokes,

This means that the scale of the monsters attacking this time is not small.

"Uncle, aunt, the situation in the city has changed, I have to leave first."

At the same time, Chen Ci, who was wearing black clothes in the Xu Mansion, put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands,
After returning to Qingzhou half a year ago and driving back the first batch of monsters, she has been living in the Xu Mansion.

As for Xu Lan
She learned some news from Yan Yu and Xu Shanhe,
Although I don't know much, what I am sure of is that Xu Lan is in a safe situation now.

As for why he still stays in Kyoto,

Chen Ci is unclear because Xu Shanhe didn't say it.

"You haven't recovered from your injury a while ago."

Yan Yu immediately spoke to dissuade him: "Just take a good rest this time."

"The responsibility lies."

Chen Ci shook his head, then picked up the long sword beside him and turned around to leave.

"this girl"

Yan Yu's eyes were full of worry when she looked at Chen Ci's leaving figure. She couldn't help but glance at Xu Shanhe and said, "When will your son come back?!"

half year,
A full half a year has passed, and not only has there been no sign of anyone, there is not even a letter!

If Xu Shanhe hadn't vowed that Xu Lan would be safe, she would have rushed thousands of miles to Kyoto to find her biological son.

"Soon, soon, it should be soon."

Xu Shanhe rubbed the back of his head with a look of helplessness on his face.

He originally planned to tell everything about Xu Lan, but after returning to Qingzhou, he saw Chen Ci in Xu's mansion.

Later, after some understanding, he learned that the woman in front of him actually had an unexplained relationship with his son, and he was immediately in trouble.

Counting Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and Sun Hongying, the head of the Sun family, there are three women.
For a moment, Xu Shanhe didn't know how to speak, and in the end he didn't say anything.

“It’s coming soon, it’s coming soon, you said it’s going to be half a year away, when will it be the end?”

Yan Yu said angrily: "If anything happens to Lan'er, just wait for death!"

"Yes Yes Yes"

Xu Shanhe laughed endlessly,
Still surprised?
Accidents can happen to anyone, but not your son.

"Zhou'er, follow me and take a look."

After a slight pause, Yan Yu finally couldn't let go, and she cast her gaze on Xu Zhou standing aside.

Originally, after Xu Shanhe returned safely, Xu Zhou should have returned to the academy of the Daqian Dynasty with his other brothers.

But just in time to encounter the chaos of monsters,
In addition, Xu Lan still stayed in Kyoto, Xu Zhou was worried and has not left yet.

"it is good."

Xu Zhou was stunned for a moment and then nodded.

He is a reader,

In terms of cultivation, he is naturally not as good as an ordinary person, but he is surrounded by a group of fellow apprentices from the academy.

If he goes, it means that those senior fellow apprentices will also follow him.

With them,

He might also be able to help Chen Ci at a critical moment.

At the same time, Chen Ci had rushed outside the city wall. In addition to the black-armored cavalry army, there were also some practitioners from the Tiance Army.

"How's it going?"

Chen Ci looked around and found that everyone's expressions were extremely solemn, and he felt something bad in his heart.

"Something is not good."

A middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "The outermost spies have sent back news that the monsters within a thousand miles are preparing to move."

He is one of the generals of Tiance Army, Guan Wu.

Like Chen Ci, he was sent to Qingzhou to help suppress the monsters, but the difference was that he also brought an elite team composed of dozens of people.

"All?"

Chen Ci frowned,

If this is the case, it means that the scale of the monster attack this time is far greater than every previous one.

"Well, if nothing else happens, that should be it."

Guan Wu sighed slightly, and then said: "I don't know when the help from Kyoto will arrive."

In the past six months, Qingzhou has dealt with waves of monster attacks, but a month ago Qingzhou's defensive strength had almost reached its limit.

Therefore, they sent people to Kyoto many times to seek help, but half a month later it was like nothing happened.

"The situation in other places is not much better than Qingzhou."

Chen Ci said softly: "Even the Tiance Army in Kyoto has been dispatched to various places. You can imagine how much impact this monster rebellion has had on the Chu Dynasty."

Hearing this, everyone around him fell into silence, and at this moment, there was a slight vibration on the ground.

Everyone raised their heads and looked into the distance. At the end of their sight, dust gradually rose, as if something was approaching Qingzhou little by little.

"This time the number is indeed higher than ever before."

Guan Wu frowned slightly, and then said: "Master Li, please ask the Yamen to evacuate the people and let them go to a safe place."

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, the Qingzhou magistrate clasped his fists and cupped his hands and said, "I'll leave this place to you."

After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and left to arrange the evacuation of the people. At this time, there were only more than 1000 black-armored cavalry troops and dozens of Tiance troops left in the city wall, as well as Chen Ci from the four realms.

"Brothers, the old rules!"

Guan Wu's loud voice gradually spread, and he said every word: "The living people will not return home until they are drunk at night!"

The only response he received was the uniform sound of iron hooves, and in an instant, thousands of figures on horseback slowly left Qingzhou like a torrent.

There are countless people in the city, and they know very well that they must stop the monsters a hundred miles away from Qingzhou!

"It's dangerous here, please come back."

Chen Ci also jumped on his horse and sighed slightly when he saw Xu Zhou and others following him.

This should be what Aunt Yan meant, right?

"Miss Chen, Qingzhou is also my home."

Xu Zhou said calmly: "How can I stand idly by in this situation?"

"You are just a helpless scholar."

Chen Ci laughed dumbly and said, "Don't learn your brother's stubborn temper."

I have to say that the personalities of these two brothers are quite similar.Chen Ci had so many thoughts in her mind that she didn't even know if she would have a chance to see Xu Lan again.

"The scale of the monster attack this time is far greater than before. If you take Xu Zhou seriously, bring him back to the Xu Mansion."

Chen Ci's eyes fell on Qin Shuang and said calmly: "If you can't listen, then it's up to you."

After saying this, she rode away,

In the face of the disaster, she no longer has time to care about what others think.

"Brother, let's go back."

Qin Shuang looked at Chen Ci's leaving figure and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he said: "Miss Chen has already said that the scale of the monster attack this time is far greater than before. I think your top priority is to take good care of the people at home."

As Xu Zhou’s senior brothers and sisters, they and others,
The duty of accompanying him on this trip back to the Chu Dynasty is to protect Xu Zhou's safety.

If they intervene rashly in this situation now, they won't even have any room to protect themselves, let alone protect Xu Zhou in the chaotic situation.

"This"

Xu Zhou hesitated and said nothing, and finally sighed and turned around to leave.

If he were a practitioner, there would be a reason to participate in the battle to suppress the monsters, but he was a weak scholar.

It didn't matter what happened to him, he couldn't let his brothers and sisters fall into danger together.

A hundred miles away in Qingzhou, thousands of black-armored cavalry gathered to form a line of defense.

What appeared in front of them at this moment were countless monsters of various kinds. These monsters were not very powerful but there were too many of them, so much that everyone felt a little despair in their hearts.

"It can actually control so many monsters. It seems that it has realized that our limit has been reached."

Guan Wu glanced around, feeling somewhat powerless.

The monster that broke out of the seal near Qingzhou that day was a fox. Unlike other monsters, it did not immediately attack Qingzhou in retaliation.

Instead, he lurks in the deep mountains and wild forests to recuperate, while constantly driving away the monsters near Qingzhou to attack Qingzhou.

again and again,
Until this time, it probably felt that Qingzhou's defense force had been almost exhausted, but even so, it still did not show up in person.

"There is a fourth-level monster."

Chen Ci frowned on the side. She saw a familiar face among the huge group of monsters.

The green water python that Xu Lan met together!

However, the green anaconda at this moment is no longer the third level, but the fourth level.

"This fourth-level monster can only be dealt with by Miss Chen."

Guan Wu showed a bitter smile,
He knew very well that the fighting power of the fourth-level monsters was much stronger than that of the practitioners of the fourth realm, but at the moment, only Chen Ci among them was in the fourth realm.

In other words, except for Chen Ci, none of them can fight against this fourth-order monster.

"it is good."

Chen Ci closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and said, "I will solve it as soon as possible and then assist you."

Even in her prime, she didn't have much confidence that she could defeat a fourth-level monster, let alone her injuries that hadn't healed yet.

But no way,

If she didn't take action against the fourth-level monster, the Jade Anaconda, its minions would tear apart all the black-armored cavalry, and the countless people in Qingzhou behind them would become the food of these monsters.

"Array!"

Guan Wu's loud voice spread slowly, and all the black-armored cavalry moved in unison.

"charge!"

The next moment, with Guan Wu's roar, a black torrent rushed towards the countless monster beasts.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ci also jumped off his horse.
As a sword cultivator, she was naturally not good at charging and fighting on horseback, so she pulled out the long sword at her waist and sprinted forward.

At the same time, the green anaconda had noticed Chen Ci's murderous intention, and its lantern-sized eyes quickly locked onto Chen Ci in the chaotic crowd.

in a blink,
Chen Ci had already arrived in front of the green water python, but when the long sword in her hand landed on the green water python, it rebounded with great force.

His sword could not damage its scales and fur.

Chen Ci's mind sank slightly, feeling the pain coming from the tiger's mouth and retreating quickly.

The next second, the green anaconda twisted its huge body, and its thick tail hit the spot where she was standing just now. The terrifying force even created a huge pothole.

"You have to find its weaknesses."

Chen Ci kept adjusting his position to dodge the green water python's attack, while trying to find the green water python's weakness.

Because he was injured, he couldn't exert his full strength at all. He couldn't even break the scales of the green anaconda.

So in this case, only by finding its weaknesses can we have some chance.

As the saying goes, a snake will hit you within seven inches.
Monsters like the green anaconda were no exception, and Chen Ci soon discovered something.

When the green anaconda twisted its body, she noticed that there was a special area near its abdomen, and the scales there were red.

Maybe that's the green anaconda's weakness!

However, if he wanted to get close to that place in this situation, he would have to endure an attack from the green anaconda.

a brief thought,
Chen Ci had already made a decision, and with a sudden thought in his mind, he immediately dodged to the left and deliberately sold a flaw.

Sure enough, the green anaconda's thick tail followed closely and hit Chen Ci hard.

The huge force instantly caused Chen Ci to spit out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, she even felt that the internal organs in her body had suffered huge damage.

But she didn't give up because of this,

Instead, it relied on the power brought by the green anaconda's blow to fall directly into the expected position.

Looking at the red scales in front of her, she used her last strength to raise the long sword in her hand and stabbed it hard.

In an instant, the green water python looked up to the sky and roared.

The huge body kept twisting and turning, and Chen Ci's body was thrown dozens of meters away before falling heavily.

"It seems to be working well."

Chen Ci spat out a mouthful of blood again, and everything in front of her now began to gradually become blurry as her old and new injuries recurred.

But he was happy for only three seconds before the green anaconda locked eyes on Chen Ci again with fierce eyes.

Chen Ci:.
Does this not work?
Then there really was nothing he could do, and Chen Ci was heartbroken.

The fourth-level monsters are much stronger than I imagined. If I were in my heyday, I might still have a chance.

"That's it."

Chen Ci slowly closed his eyes, as if he had accepted his fate.

At this moment, Xu Lan's figure rang in her mind. Perhaps this was her regret.

But in the next second, a sharp sound broke through the air, and a rainbow penetrated directly through the head of the green water python.

Black and fishy blood suddenly spilled down, and the green anaconda's huge body gradually fell to the ground weakly.

"Are you OK?"

A slightly magnetic and familiar voice sounded in his ears, and Chen Ci, who had closed his eyes and resigned himself to death, suddenly opened his eyes.

What came into view was a familiar sword box.

She has seen this sword box before, it belongs to Xu Lan!
