Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1677 The Battle for the Stone of Enlightenment (Thousand Faces)

Seeing this, Situ Wanli smiled proudly and continued, "The eldest lady told me that if you are willing to bow your head and repent, she is still willing to recognize you as the master of Shennong Hall."

"Unfortunately, now you have no chance."

Since he chose betrayal, no matter what Tian Yan's attitude was behind him, Situ Wanli would not spare the lives of the Zhu family under any circumstances.

"Miss..." When the Zhu family heard this, they finally understood who was plotting against them today, "It turns out to be that girl Tian Yan... She is really not simple!"

"Ho... cough cough cough!"

"Uh... poof!" After understanding the truth and knowing that he had been tricked by a little girl, the Zhu family couldn't help but spat out a large mouthful of blood again, dripping down the mask.

Situ Wanli sneered and raised the Wheel of Destiny, intending to completely kill the Zhu family and get rid of this hidden danger.

At this moment, there was a muffled bang, and the fragile wall panel of the wooden house was smashed to pieces, leaving a big hole.

Facing the setting sun, Tian Hu and others appeared in the smoke.

Under Situ Wanli's guarded gaze, Tian Hu took the lead and strode in. He laughed loudly and praised:
  "Brother Situ, well done!"

Seeing that he was about to become the hero, Tian Hu's words became much more pleasant.

Seeing Tian Hu and Tian Yan walk in, Situ Wanli had no choice but to suppress his murderous thoughts for the time being, put away his weapons and stood still, pretending to be relaxed and said:

"Miss, second in charge, you guys came just in time."

After saying that, he immediately handed over the box containing the Stone of Fire that he had just grabbed.

Situ Wanli was always sober, so he never paid attention to his position as the hero. At this time, the relationship between things was very straightforward, without any nostalgia.

Situ Wanli's happiness made Tian Hu, who was originally dissatisfied with him for putting Tian Yan in front of him, instantly dissipate all dissatisfaction. The corner of his mouth curled up and he was very satisfied with Situ Wanli's knowledge.

Then Tian Hu winked at Tian Zhong, who stepped forward to take the Stone of Fire.

The Zhu family could only subconsciously switch to the 'sorrow' side, and watched eagerly as the Stone of Fire changed hands.

When the item was finally obtained, Tian Hu was completely relieved, and his eyes immediately turned to his biggest enemy.

Tian Yan also looked at the Zhu family at this time and said with emotion:
  "Master Zhu Family, I'm sorry that the farm family has reached this point."

The Zhu family looked at Tian Hu and others who had surrounded them, with despair in their eyes - at this time, it seemed that he was really at the end of his rope and could only wait to die.

When Tian Hu saw this, he couldn't help but laugh wildly, "Huh huh huh... Zhu family, let me finally catch you!"

"Ayan, don't talk nonsense to him, let me finish him off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the tiger soul in Tian Hu's hand was already carrying a heavy sword energy and struck at Zhu's masked head.

At the critical moment, the Zhu family held their hands in the air and pointed at the empty point. A strong internal force immediately formed an invisible barrier, blocking Tian Hu's domineering spirit.

Tian Hu sneered when he saw this, and the strength in his hand continued to increase. At the same time, the sword energy on the sword body also continued to strengthen.

Using internal strength to forcefully block attacks, the Zhu family's internal strength is indeed well-deserved, but...how long can you persist in this kind of operation?

The Zhu family looked up at Tian Hu and the others, and the despair in their eyes gradually turned into anger—the ultimate, pure, and deep anger.

At the same time, the internal energy surrounding the short Zhu family became more and more powerful.

The bright red "angry" face on Zhu's face began to change, becoming illusory little by little, and finally suddenly flashed into a roaring face with dark red background and pure black lines, like an evil ghost. The ferocious mask.

This is a mask that Tian Hu and the others have never seen before.

As the inner energy around the Zhu family surged and erupted, the mask on his face began to frequently switch between 'angry' and the ferocious ghost face, constantly flickering, and finally settled on the ferocious ghost face.

At this time, illusory figures began to appear one after another around the Zhu family, each one looking like him, wearing different masks of his.

There were more and more figures, and they began to gradually cover this area in the house. At the same time, the masks on Zhu's faces gradually faded away, turning into a ferocious ghost face with a pale background.

This makes him look not only full of anger and murderous intent, but also adds a sense of horror and terror.

Many ordinary farm disciples around were frightened and subconsciously took a few steps back.

At the same time, the damaged wooden house began to creak and collapse under the influence of the Zhu family's increasingly active internal energy, and the furnishings in the house were shaking uncontrollably.

As the Zhu family mask completely faded away from its dark red color and turned completely pale, his illusory figure completely filled the space in the wooden house.

"Uh uh...ah!!!"

Following Zhu Jia's frightening scream, his inner strength suddenly exploded and he forced Tian Hu back.

Looking at the people around him, he shouted angrily in a voice that sounded like a shrill wail, "If you kill Qu Shang, I want all of you to be buried with him!"

As soon as the words fell, the illusory figures in the room instantly solidified and turned into real human forms.

In the blink of an eye, the wooden house was filled with a large number of "Zhu Family" wearing four kinds of masks: "emotion, anger, sorrow, and joy."

This scene made almost everyone startle, including Tian Hu and several masters. Aci was so frightened that he hid behind his sister and shrank.

Only Tian Yan remained calm.

While Situ Wanli was horrified, a thought subconsciously flashed through his mind - this is thousands of people with thousands of faces! ?
  ………………

At the core of Daze Mountain, under the deep gorge of the Sixth Tomb of Emperor Yan.

At this time, the sun has set in the west, and the sky has begun to become gloomy. Without the sunlight under the deep stream, it is no different from night.

A large number of snare killers are holding torches and carefully searching the entire mountain stream area.

Their search has been going on for some time, but nothing has been found so far.

It cannot be said that they are incompetent, it is really difficult to search this area.

The overall terrain is not complicated, but the height and depth changes are relatively large. The mountain walls are densely covered with thick vegetation that resembles creepers, or creepers.

No one pruned the vegetation in this kind of place. After years of growth, the vegetation was not only thick enough to hide it without even a trace being visible to several people, but it was also very tight to the mountain wall, making it difficult to open it for inspection.

The Snare Killer could only fumble and check bit by bit, and even then there was no guarantee that some blind spots had not been missed.

Although the search work was not going well, Zhu Lu was not too worried.

If the search is not easy, search slowly, over and over again. Zhang Han is no different from a cripple now. He can only hide as much as he can, and there is no way to escape.

As long as people can't escape, I will screen them over and over again, and sooner or later I will be able to screen them out!
  If there are no other factors interfering, this is theoretically true.

On a certain mountain wall, behind thick vines, Zhang Han, covered in blood, was hanging under the Longxiang sword inserted into the mountain. His condition couldn't be worse.

Above and below him were patrolling killers who were constantly passing by, and firelight flashed in front of his eyes from time to time.

These killers inspect very carefully and will hold torches close to the mountain wall to see as clearly as possible what is behind the vegetation. Including the middle area of ​​the mountain wall, where it is inconvenient to reach directly, people from above will throw torches down, and then they will take advantage of the fleeting light to inspect.

The area where Zhang Han is located is also within their inspection range. Fortunately, this fleeting light source does not provide enough vision, and the outer vegetation is too thick, so there is no risk of exposure for the time being.

But...it was only a matter of time before he was discovered.

Zhang Han was now covered in blood, which was still dripping down.

Fortunately, all kinds of smells are very strong under the mountain stream. These snare killers haven't smelled the smell of blood yet, but it won't take long for them to discover the blood stains on the ground.

Zhang Han wanted to move, but when he tried to exert force, he found that because he had not moved for too long and was in this suspended position, his whole body was numb and he could not move at all.

The most terrible thing is that his hand can't hold it anymore and may fall at any time.

After some inspections, the snare killer below confirmed that there was no problem in this area and walked towards other places.

At the same time, the killer above also changed places.

Seeing the dim light of the fire begin to fade away, Zhang Han breathed a sigh of relief.

As a result, as soon as he took a breath, his hand loosened unconsciously... It was so numb that his body was almost out of control.

Although the Snare Killer has changed places, he hasn't really gone far yet, and the sound of him falling will definitely alarm them.

Just when Zhang Han's heart was in doubt, a hand suddenly stretched out from above, grabbing Zhang Han just in time.

The person did not fall, but there was only a slight friction sound.

The Snare Killer, who was about to walk away, seemed to hear the faint movement. He turned his head and glanced suspiciously. After confirming that everything was normal, he put down his doubts and left.

Zhang Han looked up and immediately saw Han Xin standing above him on the protruding part of the mountain wall and reaching out to hold him.

The Six Immortals Tomb of Emperor Yan was a game against him, Zhang Han had guessed this in advance.

But in order to get more information, he still chose to take the risk and enter the game. The result was good. He got some news and confirmed the appearance of the sun.

Although Zhang Han mobilized most of the Shadow Secret Guards in East County to carry out this task, considering that Luo Wang's strength here exceeded that of the Shadow Secret Guards, he had to be prepared with multiple hands.

Escape mechanisms prepared in advance are one of them.

In the end, it was actually used - Luo Wang actually used two Tianzi killers to join forces to strangle him.

After Zhang Han saw Hidden Sun, he immediately made a decision and asked the other Shadow Secret Guards to retreat directly to avoid unnecessary sacrifices. He stayed alone to find a way to escape.

However, if you want to escape from Luo Wang's Tianzi First Class, just relying on a few mechanisms is definitely not enough, so Zhang Han also arranged for reinforcements - that is, Han Xin.

This was the only reinforcement he had in Dongjun at this time.

Now, that comes into play.

Han Xin smiled at Zhang Han and said, "Fortunately, it's not too late."

Zhang Han smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Indeed, if I had been a moment later, I would have died. It was indeed timely."

This is not Zhang Han's sarcasm, but it is really timely, but a little too timely.

Han Xin said nothing to this, and used all his strength to pull Zhang Han up completely, helping him to stand firm on the protrusion of the mountain wall.

Zhang Han took a breath and asked immediately, "Are you the only one? Zhong Limei didn't come?"

Han Xin shook his head, "His injuries have not fully recovered and he is inconvenient to move... Oh, he asked me to apologize to you on his behalf for not being able to come."

"Well...I'll take you to see him later."

"Now, let's take you to another place quickly. There will be a snare killer coming here at any time."

After saying that, Han Xin supported Zhang Han and jumped up, using the protrusions on the mountain wall to climb quickly towards the top of the mountain stream.

Night fell, and in the darkness, Han Xin's figure did not alert the surrounding snares.

Under the dim moonlight, a slender and tall figure stood at the highest point of the Six Tombs of Emperor Yan. He watched silently as Han Xin rescued Zhang Han, then turned around and disappeared immediately.

A moment later, Han Xin and Zhang Han quietly left the heavily blocked Tomb of the Six Immortals of Emperor Yan, hid in the forest nearby, and put him under a tree to rest temporarily.

Zhang Han calmed down, regained a little strength, and said with a chuckle:

"It seems that I made the right choice by contacting you in time."

Han Xin shrugged, said nothing, and asked, "Your situation is worse than I expected... What happened?"

Zhang Han closed his eyes, took a long breath and replied, "The sun has appeared. Sure enough, he is also in Daze Mountain."

"Hiding the sun..." Han Xin smiled upon hearing this, "Before coming here, the Imperial Master told me this, and now I can confirm it."

"Compared to Luo, his identity seems to be more intriguing."

"Zhanri's identity has always been a mystery." Zhang Han opened his eyes and said with stern eyes, "This time, his true identity is locked in Daze Mountain. This may be an opportunity."

Regarding Zhang Han's idea, Han Xin smiled and did not express any opinion.

But this is the default attitude.

If there is a chance, of course, we must find out the identity of Zhanri, and we can even find an opportunity to completely leave him in Daze Mountain.

I just don’t know if the other party is willing to give them this opportunity.

Zhang Han also knew this, so he didn't worry about the problem and asked instead:
  "How is the situation over there at Zhong Limei?"

"I almost died before, but I'm recovering now. I'm just not in good condition yet." Han Xin simply replied, "As for his mission... It has been determined that Gonggongtang is one of the main gaps for the snare to penetrate the farmers' houses. The rest will wait until later. You can talk to him after you see him."

"Hmm...that's fine." Zhang Han nodded slightly.

"Oh, by the way." Han Xin then reminded with a smile, "He has now established some relationships with people from the Mo family."

"Oh?" Zhang Han was stunned, and then smiled, "This is an unexpected gain."

"So, what are you going to do now?" Han Xin then asked, and at the same time helped him analyze it, "Now Luo Wang has no scruples and will not hold any hand against you anymore. Only with the power of the Shadow Guard, this I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to enter the farm game again.”

Han Xin's words were not so much analysis as helping Zhang Han make a choice.

When one's own strength is not enough to solve the problem, it is natural to seek external help.

In Daze Mountain today, there are not many people, or groups, who can help Zhang Han, an imperial officer.

Zhang Han understood immediately, leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes, and curled up the corners of his mouth, "You are right. Now, it is time to find some suitable helpers."
