Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

The only two summoning souls left in the air gradually disappeared as the two black-robed cultivators left, but before disappearing, they left all the black mist behind for the driving of the two huge blood flags.

It didn't take long for all the black mist to break away from its thick fog form and turn into resentful souls with extremely ferocious expressions, covering the entire sky in an instant.

Gazes filled with overwhelming hatred and resentment looked directly at Xingping County below. The intense murderous intent made countless people below unable to help but feel trembling. They no longer dared to look up. Almost everyone hid in the house and shuddered. Shivering, he prayed anxiously to Lu Chen's longevity tablet.

Seeing tens of thousands of innocent souls in the sky, Lu Chen no longer struggled with Gu Simiao's extremely weird spell just now, but silently took a few steps back and left the range of Gu Simiao's spell.

So as not to get in the way.

Gu Simiao didn't take the initiative to explain anything, and she didn't even have the energy to talk to Lu Chen.

At this moment, her attention was entirely focused on the army of resentful souls high in the sky that were making howling ghosts.

Even an ordinary practitioner of the Guiyi Realm must pay a little attention to the desperate blow of the two Dongxu Realm Dzogchen Dzogchen practitioners, not to mention that her current condition is not good, and she is far from her peak state.

Being careless or underestimating the enemy is very likely to cause irreparable consequences.

How could she be distracted?

After a moment, she held the sword in one hand, stepped slightly hard, jumped up, and quickly pinched out each spell with her other hand.

"Floating life!"

As the spell was activated, the air behind her suddenly shook slightly, and then hundreds of basketball-sized spatial ripples rippled out.

Immediately afterwards, with a slight distortion of space, one after another extremely sharp crystal ice blades slowly emerged from the center of those ripples, the tips of the blades facing the tens of thousands of resentful souls in mid-air.

Seeing Gu Simiao's response technique, a sneer came from the two blood flags at the same time.

If regular attack spells were effective, why would they bother condensing resentful souls?

Without any hesitation, the blood flag shook violently. At the moment when the dazzling red light flashed, all the resentful souls in the air opened their blood-red eyes at the same time. At the same time, an extremely rich and ferocious aura was generated around them, as if they had materialized. Generally, covering them.

In just a moment, the resentful soul was strong and ready to attack.

The extremely cold murderous intent filled the entire sky, as if it was going to kill everything below, which made people feel chilly in their hearts.

"kill!"

Simple instructions were issued from the blood banner.

"Ouch!!"

All the resentful souls let out a howl of resentment at the same time, then clenched the weapons transformed by resentment in their hands, and flew downwards at extremely fast speeds.

At the same time, countless ice picks behind Gu Simiao also flew quickly at this moment, shooting towards the army of resentful souls.

An ice pick flew out, and another one appeared in the space ripples in an instant. It followed the previous one without stopping, one after another, like Gatling, forming a large area covering in the blink of an eye. Fire Network.

At this time, she was like a humanoid weapon. If she didn't take action, it would be fine. Once she did, it would be a terrifying and extremely lethal move.

However.

Whoosh whoosh! ! !

The ice pick passed through the body of every resentful soul without mercy.

Then, they flew high into the sky without any hindrance, and the actions of the resentful souls that were hit were not only not affected in the slightest, but the pierced parts of their bodies returned to their original state in the blink of an eye. The red light in their eyes even became brighter, and their expressions became more intense. For ferociousness.

At the same time, as their resentment became more intense, their bodies became larger than before, and their aura became several times stronger.

Seeing this scene, Gu Simiao, who is extremely experienced in combat, still doesn't understand that ordinary offensive spells will only have the opposite effect on these special resentful souls.

She immediately stopped casting spells, frowning and thinking quickly about countermeasures.

The black-robed monk who had turned into a blood streamer did not rush to tell Gu Simiao how awesome his technique was and what effect it had, like the villains in some movies and TV dramas. Instead, he remained silent and cold. He looked down at Xingping County, which was about to be swallowed up by the army of resentful souls.

No flaws at all, no chance.

Of course, Gu Simiao would not expect her enemy to be stupid. After just thinking for a moment, she raised her head again and activated the spiritual power in her body that was almost exhausted.

The next second, she suddenly retracted the long sword into the void, raised her hands at the same time, her fingers changed rapidly, and continued to create extremely mysterious seals in the afterimages that were difficult to see clearly with the naked eye.

"The trick..."

Bang bang bang! ! !

Dozens of black ice rose from the ground around her, quickly forming a complete formation closed loop.

At the same time that the Xuanbing magic circle appeared, dense black spells suddenly poured out from the surface of Gu Simiao's fair skin, covering her whole body in just a moment.

She, who was originally ethereal and ethereal, now looked indescribably weird.

Soon, the Xuanbing Array began to operate.

Ouch~

Along with a burst of space distortion, a cry that sounded like it came from the Nine Nether Hell suddenly sounded around each piece of black ice, making people feel chills all over their bodies.

Inexplicably, I felt like I was being targeted by something from the underworld.

"Uncle"

Some of the government officials turned their heads tremblingly, looked at Lu Chen who was standing silently with his hands behind his hands, and asked in a trembling voice: "That master, she... what method did she use?"

Such an evil scene made them subconsciously fearful and wanted to turn around and run away.

However, Lu Chen's expression remained unchanged and his steps did not move even an inch.

He glanced at the government officials and said calmly: "A method that can save hundreds of thousands of people in the county."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then quickly reacted.

Yes, no matter what, the mysterious big man is saving them now. If this is the case, then what if she uses evil techniques?

But even so, they just bowed their heads and said nothing.

Lu Chen didn't pay attention to them, but locked his eyes and stared at Gu Simiao not far away, with a solemn look quietly flashing in his eyes.

Not long after, in the center of the spreading black ice, amidst the violent spatial distortion, accompanied by a blood-curdling howling sound, a pitch-black sword slowly rose up.

It was a heavy sword, with a dragon-shaped skeleton on the hilt. The sword body underneath was surrounded by nine layers of purple-black energy bodies, and at the head of the energy body were dragon skeletons.

The phantoms of those dragon skulls opened their mouths wide and kept making howling sounds. Obviously, the extremely uncomfortable howling came from their mouths.

Just the appearance is already extremely weird, with an ominous atmosphere everywhere.

Seeing the sword, all the government officials who were already afraid of Gu Simiao trembled again.

at the same time--

"That sword..."

In the sky, two bloody flags spit out human words.

"Nine realms surround you, and the energy of death surges into the sky..."

It seemed that he had discovered something. After a moment, Xue Banner suddenly laughed wildly.

"Hahahahaha... No wonder you have such mysterious and unpredictable methods. It turns out that the legendary treasure of the demon clan that once confused the human world for thousands of years - Netherworld, is in your hands."

"I never thought that such an extremely evil thing would one day be used to protect peace and tranquility for the people."

At this point, he suddenly paused, and then his tone changed.

"However, will the sacred objects of the demon clan really surrender to a seemingly decent monk like you? Or..."

"Is your purpose really to protect the people here?"

After hearing this, except for Lu Chen, the expressions of all the government officials suddenly changed.

Everyone looked at Lu Chen again.

"Gong...gongye..."

They asked with trembling lips: "Is what that guy said... is it true? Is that sword really that... a sacred object of the demon clan?"

The history of the demon clan is the history of blood and tears of their human race.

Even though the monster clan has been eliminated in the long river of history, only a few monsters that cannot shake the rule of the human race still remain in the world. Human beings still have an unforgettable memory of the enslavement of the monster clan who were skinned and cramped.

That is the hatred and fear engraved in the bones!

Second only to evil spirits.

Even now, anything related to the demon clan will be rejected by the vast majority of human races. For example, the half-demon that is lingering in hidden corners now, as long as it dares to appear in the human world, even if it is just without power and without the slightest threat. The little half-demon will be thrown into the fire and burned to death.

One can imagine how much shock and serious consequences it will cause when it is learned that the spiritual equipment summoned by Gu Simiao is the treasure of the demon clan.

Lu Chen did not answer directly, but after a moment of silence, he asked:

"Do you trust me, or do you prefer to trust the monster who wants to devour Xingping?"

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly responded: "Of course I believe in the Lord."

"In that case, why do you still ask this?"

After Lu Chen's reminder, everyone quickly reacted.

Yes, the person who said this was an enemy who had evil intentions against them. How could they believe what the enemy said?

So they fell silent again.

They didn't speak, and Lu Chen didn't bother to say more to them.

After dealing with all the government officials, Lu Chen raised his head slightly and looked at Gu Simiao not far away, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

He can certainly handle it now, but what about in the future?

Although Lu Chen didn't quite believe what the demon said, Gu Simiao had summoned a spiritual outfit that was full of ominous aura at a glance.

This is an undisputed fact.

Even if this thing is not a sacred object of the demon clan, it will still be used by people with ulterior motives.

Even though she is the Shenwu General, the leader of the world's warriors, it does not mean that she has no political opponents. On the contrary, being in such a high position makes it easier to attract criticism.

How to explain it then?

What's more, if she is attached to something belonging to the demon clan, will the empress still trust her as always?

Would she suspect that everything Gu Simiao did for the court in Huangzhou was for a larger plot?

All in all, even if today's disaster can be passed, if Gu Simiao shows such a weird trump card, the future life will be difficult.

As soon as he thought about this, Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

There was no need for Gu Simiao to reveal her trump card, which would definitely bring criticism to her, or even cause disaster. After blocking the enemy's attack, she could just leave as she had "tried her best".

Anyway, no one knows how far she can go with her strength.

She tried her best and escaped unscathed, and no one would say anything to her.

But she chose to stay and fight to the death, even showing off her magical skills and spiritual equipment.

When she reached this point, Lu Chen naturally couldn't remain indifferent.

"That's all."

Shaking his head, Lu Chen muttered to himself.

"If the day comes, let's take action as soon as we see it."

After making up his mind, he looked at Gu Simiao's back and felt a different kind of thought in his heart.

"Miss Gu, I will record this friendship."
