Chapter 165 Death Messenger: Jiejiejie (Two in One)

"This is the information you need. The military is strictly disciplined. Today's lunch has passed. Without the marshal's order, we subordinates are really not able to make decisions and entertain you."

A cold voice sounded in the tent, and the old man named Dureis casually threw the information in his hand on the table and said in a cold tone.

"You can make some repairs here. If you have any needs, please inform the guard at the door. I have other things to be busy with, so I will say goodbye. I hope you will forgive me."

After saying that, Durres turned around and walked out of the camp without any regrets, leaving everyone behind who looked at each other.

Although they are in the military camp, the recent conflict between the Duke's Palace and Shrek has been aroused throughout the continent, and their subordinates naturally understand it.

The marshal's son was killed by people from Shrek Academy. The marshal has not returned to the military camp because of this incident. How can they look good on these Shrek students?

"Damn it, we are here to help after all. They don't even treat us to a meal. Any talk of strict discipline is bullshit!"

I saw Yao Haoxuan looking around at an environment that couldn't be described as dirty and messy, then looking up at the leaky ceiling above his head, and couldn't help but curse in secret.

"If you have any other needs, can you tell me directly? There are so many good tents on the road, but the one who brought us here is a shabby one. I'm afraid it's just careless. These guys really use us as coolies!?"

Although his family is not top-notch, it is still a well-known and prominent family in their local area. Coupled with his status as a disciple of Shrek's inner courtyard, it can be said that he has been respected wherever he went since he was a child. When did he receive such a Kind of aggrieved?

Chen Zifeng's face didn't look good at the moment, but due to his previous relationship with Dai Yueheng, he still comforted him softly.

"Okay, this is Duke White Tiger's army. Yueheng has been dealt with by the academy and his son has died. It would be great if my subordinates can provide us with information."

It's okay if Chen Zifeng doesn't mention it, but Yao Haoxuan feels angry when he mentions it.

"Humph, of course! They just hate us, but they are not stupid. These people want to watch us fight to the death with that messenger of death!"

"Besides, that was done by the academy. What does it have to do with us, the inner academy disciples? It's a shame that we had such a good relationship with Dai Yueheng back then."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the male sheep Mo and Xixi who were nibbling dry food next to him. His eyes were like looking at two weaklings, and he said sourly.

"Looking at it this way, some people are smart and know how to protect themselves. We have obviously been training together for several years. When something happened to Dai Yueheng, it was only the two of us who foolishly wanted to help Dai Yueheng."

"What's the result? Not only did I lose my place in the competition, but Dai Yueheng's family also refused to accept our kindness. It's really hard to be a good person in this world."

"Supporting Dai Yueheng? It's so ridiculous. How can you say such shameless words?"

Listening to these words with a gun and a stick, Xixi frowned, looked up at Yao Haoxuan, and responded with a sneer.

"Didn't you think that Huo Yuhao was easy to bully as a student from the outer academy, so he deliberately put on a bad face and took the initiative to provoke him, but in the end he was inferior to others in terms of skills, so he was replaced?"

"What did you say!?"

Yao Haoxuan slapped it hard, and the huge force immediately shattered the already tattered table in front of him into pieces. He stood up and asked angrily.

"In order to compete for honor in the Soul Master Competition, how long have we been training hard, but the academy just ignored Dai Yueheng and disposed of it, and asked for someone to take our place. Do we, as Dai Yueheng's brothers, still have to be here? Can’t you just swallow your anger at this time?”

"After all, they are disciples of the inner courtyard, and they were bribed by a soul guide shield!? You are talking to that kid like this!?"

Gongyang Mo on the side couldn't help it anymore, stood up and spoke tit-for-tat.

"Let's not mention that this matter was originally Dai Yueheng's fault. I remember that the person who replaced Dai Yueheng was the inner courtyard disciple named Qiu'er, right? You guys came forward to help, don't go to her or the academy, just run away Looking for two students from the outer academy? Are you blind and can’t recognize who the real master is?”

Yao Haoxuan choked and his face turned red visibly. Before he could speak again, Chen Zifeng beside him spoke sharply.

"Okay! That's the end of the argument. The mission is about to begin. What does internal strife look like at this time?"

After saying that, seeing that Yao Haoxuan stopped talking, Chen Zifeng looked at Gong Yangmo and Xixi again and said in a cold tone.

"I won't say any more. Everything has passed. Mr. Xuan asked me to be the commander of this mission, so I have to take responsibility for this mission. I hope that you two will not bring personal grudges into the mission. ”

Gongyang Mo rolled his eyes and couldn't help but sneered slightly.

"You should say this to Yao Haoxuan."

Chen Zifeng subconsciously clenched his fists, took a deep breath and then turned his eyes to the information in front of him, his face couldn't help but look a little ugly again.

The entire information seemed extremely crude. Apart from a brief introduction to the bandit group's size of nearly three hundred people, its possible location, and the fact that the leader of the evil soul master was at least a Soul King, there was no other useful information.

As a bandit group that has been active in the Mingdou Mountains for many years, it is obviously unreasonable for the army to only collect so much information.

"These bastards are still hiding their secrets at this time."

After swearing in a low voice, Chen Zifeng remembered that Mr. Xuan personally led the team on this mission, and the look on his face softened slightly.

Because they were not welcome, the few people who finished eating the rations did not stay in the military camp for long, and set out on the road to find the mission target under the contemptuous eyes of several guards.

But as time came to the next night, everyone was still twisting and turning in the Mingdou Mountains.

Although the information given by Durres marked the general direction, in the Mingdou Mountains with lush vegetation, it was not easy to even identify one's position based on the map, let alone find the bandit group.

Nowadays, the sky is dark and the field of vision is limited. Even if they continue to search, it is doomed to be in vain. Just as everyone suppresses the resentment in their hearts and prepares to find a place to camp and wait for the search to continue during the day tomorrow, Mr. Xuan, who has been secretly following them, finally Appeared in front of everyone.

"It's too slow. If you continue like this, you won't be able to catch up with the game. I'm here to help you find it."

Seeing that Mr. Xuan finally appeared, several people's faces were filled with joy. They had been staying in this ghost place for a day and a night, and could not find any clues. If possible, who wouldn't want to complete the task quickly and get out of this deep mountain forest with so many mosquitoes?

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Mr. Xuan squatted down and pressed one palm of his hand on the ground casually.

As a strange wave centered on Xuan Lao's palm, it spread along the earth to the surroundings, and everything on the ground and underground appeared in Xuan Lao's perception.

"found it."

Not long after, Mr. Xuan opened his eyes. He didn't know what he sensed, but a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"Go about 800 meters to the southwest. The bandit group's hiding place is there. Chen Zifeng, you can make arrangements."

"Yes, Mr. Xuan!"

Chen Zifeng looked a little excited, either because he didn't expect that he would one day become a commander, or because he felt Mr. Xuan's attention.

"Once a battle breaks out later, I will be the main attack, Yao Haoxuan will be with me, Gongyang Mo will stay behind to assist, Tang San, you and Xixi will be responsible for protecting Gongyang Mo. Although the enemy is not strong, they are numerous, so don't Too far out of line”

When Mr. Xuan heard that Chen Zifeng had arranged everything thoroughly, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

Although there are only five of them performing this task, the staffing is still very complete.

Chen Zifeng's arrangement is also based on the reasonable distribution of each person's characteristics, which can be said to fully demonstrate the background of the inner court disciples.

After all, being able to assign tasks in such a short period of time is enough to prove that during the previous training, this kid did not just follow the captain's orders, but carefully studied everyone in the team.

In the past, my attention was mostly focused on Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, who were stronger in cultivation. Now I saw that Chen Zifeng was also a rare piece of beautiful jade!

Given time, this boy will become a great weapon!

Looking at the figures in front of him, Mr. Xuan's eyes were full of expectations, as if he saw Shrek's future in these children, and his heart was full of expectations.

With everyone's full speed, they arrived at a distance of several hundred meters in less than half a minute. Seeing the dark hole covered by vines from a distance, Chen Zifeng stretched out his hand to stop the others and spoke in a low voice.

"Now, everyone starts to change clothes and activate their martial spirits."

When Tang San heard this, he glanced around subconsciously. After discovering that Mr. Xuan's figure had disappeared again, an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged into his heart.

"Where's Mr. Xuan?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and saw a relaxed smile on Chen Zifeng's face.

"We are the ones doing the mission. Although Mr. Xuan personally leads the team, his main role is to ensure our safety. If he has to do everything, what else do we need to do?"

"We understand that you are worried when you go on a mission for the first time, but you have to know that the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction brought by doing this kind of thing of punishing rape and eradicating evil with your own hands is completely different. This is how everyone goes. , and as seniors, we sincerely hope that you can also enjoy this feeling.”

Yao Haoxuan on the side couldn't help but smile and said.

"Don't worry, you think Mr. Xuan can sense the location of the bandit group, don't you sense the strength of the people inside?"

"Since he allows us to enter with confidence, it proves that the enemy's cultivation is not beyond our ability to deal with it, and there is nothing to worry about."

If you knew what I went through two months ago, you wouldn't say that.

Tang San cursed, but after hesitation he said nothing more.

As several people quickly put on their equipment, soul rings rose from their feet, emitting a faint fluorescence in the dim environment.

"Do it!"

Chi——

With the sound of a sword slashing across the neck, the bandits guarding the entrance of the cave, let alone calling for help, were wiped by Chen Zifeng's soul-chasing sword on their necks before they even reacted.

“Hoo….ho…”

As they covered their necks and fell to the ground with frightened expressions, the five of them finally slowly walked out of the nearby trees.

"Time is running out. They may find out at any time. Let's fight quickly..."

Before Chen Zifeng finished speaking, a voice interrupted him.

"Wait a moment."

Tang San's eyes were illuminated with a faint purple light, and he was ignoring the influence of the dim environment as he looked at the bandits who had just died, his brows slightly furrowed.

"There's something wrong with them. They look like...they've been poisoned."

With the experience brought to him by the Tang Sect Poison Scripture, although he could tell that several corpses were poisoned, he couldn't tell the effect of the poison for a while.

But this was enough for him to conclude that this poison came from some kind of ability of the soul master, and was different from ordinary poisons.

"poisoned?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a short time, Chen Zifeng seemed to have thought of something and asked hesitantly.

"The leader of the bandit group is an evil soul master. Could this be a method used by the evil soul master to control his subordinates?"

Bandits like this usually gather together thugs who commit adultery, robbery, and all kinds of evil. How can they be willing to listen to other people's orders?

If there were no special means to intimidate and control him, he might be stabbed in the back by his subordinates one day.

"Not sure yet, but I think..."

Tang San narrowed his eyes slightly. He also felt that what Chen Zifeng said was reasonable, but the poison in front of him didn't seem to be that simple...

"It's their business if they get poisoned. As long as we don't get poisoned, it's fine. There's no need to worry too much."

I don't know if it was because he discovered that Mr. Xuan attached great importance to Tang San, so even if he was interrupted, Chen Zifeng didn't show any dissatisfaction and just explained patiently.

"It's a good thing to be cautious, but we have already killed the guards at the door. If we don't seize the time to do it and wait for them to change shifts or discover the situation here for other reasons, we will miss the mark."

Hearing this, Tang San nodded silently, but became increasingly vigilant in his heart, secretly deciding to stay as far away from these corpses as possible in the future.

Without stopping any longer, with Gong Yangmo's blessing, everyone rushed into the cave as fast as a few afterimages.

"who……"

Entering the long and narrow cave, although the members of the bandit group along the way died at the hands of the soul-chasing sword as soon as they were discovered by Chen Zifeng, some people still asked in frightened and angry questions before they died.

The high-pitched sound instantly spread into the depths of the cave, and then the five people noticed that the originally very weak fire in front of them was extinguished instantly. Apparently, the group of bandits had already had rich experience in dealing with this kind of thing, and were prepared to use the dim environment to do so. Ambush them.

"Stay in formation."

Chen Zifeng frowned. Following his words, everyone subconsciously slowed down and began to advance steadily.

But it wasn't over yet, Chen Zifeng suddenly looked at Tang San.

"Tang San, you use Bluesilver Grass to tie up everyone present. If anyone is in danger later, you will pull him back."

"good."

At this moment, on a hill outside the cave, Mr. Xuan could not help but relax after sensing that Chen Zifeng was so cautious.

Because of the withdrawal of Ma Xiaotao and others, the team that he thought would become a mess was instead put in order by the temporary appointment of Chen Zifeng.

Even he couldn't find any fault with it.

Sure enough, only appropriate pressure can fully unleash the potential of these little monsters.

Thinking of this, Mr. Xuan raised a happy smile on his lips, looked down at the wine gourd in his hand, uncorked the bottle with great care, and rewarded himself with a sip of 82-year-old wine.

"Gulu...Gulu...huh!?"

Before he could finish the wine, Mr. Xuan seemed to sense something. His whole body stiffened suddenly. He didn't even have time to collect the wine gourd in his hand. He turned into a stream of light and got into the cave.

boom--

With the deafening sound filling the eardrums, the entire cave was shaken by the terrifying explosion.

In just an instant, the sixth-level soul shields on Gong Yangmo and Xixi opened on their own, blocking out the impact of the explosion and even the smelly poisonous blood.

Tragic white light filled the field of vision. Under the explosion that had surpassed the full force of a normal Soul Emperor, the pale golden barrier continued to ripple, like a small boat in the wind and waves, teetering on the edge.

Feeling the crazy decrease in soul power due to the extraction of the soul guide shield, the two of them didn't even realize what was happening.

All I know is that after the sharp voice of the self-proclaimed messenger of death rang out from the cave, the surrounding corpses lit up with a dangerous red light and swelled without warning.

Then, an unspeakable explosion swept through the entire cave.

As for Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan, they were not as lucky. In order to show off in front of Mr. Xuan, the two of them were at the forefront of killing the enemy.

In addition, in order to pursue efficiency, Chen Zifeng sealed his throat with a sword every time, and the corpses left behind were extremely well-preserved. If Tang San hadn't noticed something was wrong first, he could use the blue silver entanglement to pull the two out of the center of the explosion in time. , I am afraid that both of them are already dead by now.

However, even so, the injuries on the two men could not be described as tragic.

I saw that both of Chen Zifeng's legs were missing, and even the entire front was covered in blood and flesh. His originally handsome face was now in terrible shape, and the corpse poison attached to it was still corroding his body. of white smoke.

Yao Haoxuan was even more miserable than him. His front was also covered in blood and flesh, and his original complete limbs were also lost in the explosion. His left hand also lost its entire palm, leaving only the white bone spurs on his forearm.

Tang San was alert and avoided the corpse in advance. With the flexibility of the Eight Spider Lances and the night vision effect of the Purple Demon Eye, he responded to the explosion the moment it happened. In the end, he only suffered the aftermath of the explosion and was the least injured except for the two people with soul guide shields.

It's like this again.

It's like this again!

Every time an emergency occurs, the old beast is not there. What on earth is he doing here! ?

Suppressing the sweet and fishy feeling that surged up his throat, Tang San's resentment towards Xuan Lao reached an unprecedented peak, but now was obviously not the time to be angry. Looking at the scene in front of him, he dared not stay any longer and was ready to rush out of the cave. At this time, something strange happened.

"Ah!!!"

As if hearing the shrill wails of Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan, the eerie and sharp voice came from the depths of the cave again, full of pride.

"You dare to provoke this messenger, this is your fate!!!"

As the voice fell, the bandits who had just been affected by the explosion and lost their lives also began to expand rapidly, emitting a dazzling red light.

Serial corpse explosion!

Tang San's face suddenly changed. The reason why he was able to survive the explosion with the cultivation of Soul Master was because he was in a place where there were no corpses around.

But after the previous round of corpse explosion, many broken bandit corpses were swept by the aftermath of the explosion and flew towards his position, leaving him nowhere to hide.

At the critical moment, a trace of ferocity flashed in Tang San's eyes.

He saw his arm pulled back, and through the blue silver vines connected to Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan's waists, he protected the two people who were already seriously injured in front of him. He even crossed the two people very considerately because he was worried that a layer of flesh and blood barrier would not be enough for defense.

Chen Zifeng was in front, and the larger Yao Haoxuan was behind.

These two were injured so badly that even without this round of explosions, the chances of them surviving were extremely low. In that case, it would be better to make some contribution to his survival.

Anyway, I saved both of your lives. Now the situation is critical, so let's treat it as a life for a life.

Looking at the scarlet light that seemed like a death warrant, a hint of despair flashed across Chen Zifeng's dim eyes, and a mosquito-like voice slowly rang out between his lips.

"No"

Boom --

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"

Listening to the explosion and soul power fluctuations that were even stronger than before, the belated Xuan Lao's eyes were bloodshot, and a painful wail and roar burst out of his throat, like weeping blood.

As soon as he arrived at the battlefield, he saw Tang San vomiting blood and flying backwards. Fortunately, because he had two layers of meat shields to resist, Tang San only subconsciously crossed his arms in front of his chest and had some blood and flesh, which was not particularly serious.

As for Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan, the former was completely destroyed in the explosion, while the latter, with the advantage of his huge size, only had half of his body and a head left.

Gong Yangmo and Xixi also flew backwards like Tang San. The second round of explosion was even more terrifying. The soul shields on their bodies finally broke due to the heavy load, causing the two to bear part of the aftermath of the explosion and also suffered some shock injuries.

In an instant, the soft soul power supported the three people present to prevent them from suffering secondary damage. After doing this, Xuan Lao looked at Yao Haoxuan, who had only half of his body left, and Chen Zifeng, who had disappeared and only had an inspector ring left, with red eyes.

He had just praised Chen Zifeng in his heart, and the future of the academy was ruined because of his negligence.

Once again, the tragedy broke out because of his own reasons. How could Xuan Lao not be sad and angry?

If Tang San didn't look fine, he would probably have fainted because of the blood attack?

"Die!!!"

With a roar of great grief, Xuan Lao raised his arm towards the depths of the cave, and his five fingers contracted, pulling back brazenly as if dragging a mighty force.

In an instant, a figure covered in a black robe stood out from the countless broken earth and rocks, and flew towards Xuan Lao uncontrollably.

Three yellow and two purple.

The five soul rings that shocked people emitted a faint light in the dim cave. This evil soul master who claimed to be the messenger of the god of death was actually a strong man with the cultivation of a soul king!

As if sensing the vast breath of Xuan Lao, the messenger of death struggled, and he did not see what he did, and the corpses and limbs around him lit up with scarlet light again.

"Asshole!!!"

Seeing that the messenger of death could actually use the third corpse explosion, Xuan Lao roared, and his body burst into a dazzling bright yellow light, decomposing all the corpses and poisonous blood present into nothingness in an instant.

However, at the moment when Xuan Lao released his soul power, the red light emitted from the debris suddenly dissipated.

I've been fooled!

Xuan Lao's expression condensed, and just as he reacted, the sharp and sinister laughter of the Death Messenger rang out.

"Hehehe, so what if you are a Titled Douluo? You are still being fooled by this messenger?"

With his current cultivation, it was already the limit for him to release this kind of powerful and terrifying attack twice in a row. The third time was naturally a deception he deliberately created to attract Xuan Lao's attention.

The deep purple soul ring under the Death Messenger shone brightly, and his body instantly turned into a ball of black mist and rushed towards the cave entrance.

And it was also very coincidental, because Tang San just wanted to escape, and at this moment he happened to be blocked in front of the cave entrance.

Looking at this kid who only has three rings but has an external soul bone, the Death Messenger subconsciously recalled the scene in the battle just now when Tang San was protected by everyone.

It seems that this kid is very important?

Well, take him with you to escape. If he is caught up by the Titled Douluo, he can also use him to attract the other party's attention!

And Tang San, who just suffered the aftermath of the explosion and was dizzy at the moment, how could he resist the Death Messenger? As he felt his body lighten, the surrounding environment began to change rapidly.

Seeing this scene, Xuan Lao felt his eyes go black.

"Tang San!!!"
