Chapter 978 This is the freshly baked Qi Chun from Chunyang Palace - Mo Cheng
“It’s just a normal relationship.”
Facing Ling Ying's doubts, Mo Cheng shrugged, "And I think Xueqi gets along pretty well with you."
Given Shen Xueqi's personality, if she didn't want to communicate too much, she would probably just walk away.
This is all because of the red rope soul-locking technique. If the red rope was gone, based on Mo Cheng's impression of her when they first met, Shen Xueqi would have directly used [Seal the Snow] to speak.
Anyone who can use Fang Tian Hua Ji as a weapon is not a weak person.
The two of them walked along the way, and under Ling Ying's guidance, they took very remote paths, even roads that ordinary people could not pass.
Mo Cheng also had some questions about this, and Ling Ying's answer was very simple, "We took the small road so as not to alert anyone entering Heyang City. Gui Yimou is very cautious. If he finds that we are on the way to Heyang City, he will find a way to attack us on the way."
"But if we have already arrived in Heyang City when he sees us, then..."
"Then he will have to react immediately. Either he lets us go and loses the whereabouts of the Demon Emperor's Tomb, or he gathers all his men and attacks us." Mo Cheng added to Ling Ying from behind, "Shortening his reaction time to the extreme is a dangerous gamble."
It was indeed a dangerous gamble. Ling Ying's behavior was to gamble that the ghost Yimouduan had not made any prior arrangements for this. She was betting that the army, which had compressed the reaction time to the extreme, would be in chaos. In order to obtain the [Demon Emperor's Tomb], the ghost Yimouduan would directly gather the [Ten Directions Demon Bandits] to come and capture people.
Overall, this plan is full of Showa beauty.
The main focus is on going it alone and betting on the fate of the country.
Mo Cheng looked at Ling Ying in surprise. The person in charge of data should not be such a gambler. Otherwise, who would be willing to entrust confidential data to a gambler?
After all, some data leaked at certain times can be enough to put the entire country at a critical juncture of life and death.
"I see that you are very anxious about this matter. The characteristics of the Ten-Direction Demon Bandits make it impossible for us to do anything about it in a short period of time, so we can only use this method."
"And the current situation cannot be delayed any longer, otherwise more troublesome situations may arise at any time."
Ling Ying had no intention of taking risks, but she received news that the army that went to suppress the seal of the exiled immortal and the leader of [Cong Ge] were also in trouble. Now the most urgent task was to deal with the trouble of [Ten Directions Demon Bandits] and then go to provide support.
The banished immortal who has been sealed for tens of thousands of years is much more dangerous than the [Ten Directions Demon Bandits].
Ling Ying suddenly smiled slyly, "Besides, a great Qilin talent can conquer the world with one move, and can completely destroy the Ten Directions Demon Bandits. He should be able to protect a weak woman like me, right?"
Mo Cheng did not answer directly, but asked another question while looking around. "So your plan must be to enter Heyang City without anyone noticing, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Ling Ying could respond, Mo Cheng's figure suddenly disappeared before his eyes.
It was like a gust of wind blowing, shaking the leaves, and there was a hint of blood in the air.
There are enemies!
Ling Ying immediately realized the situation and summoned a ball of ice-blue light. The ball of light kept changing its shape to alert the surroundings.
Ling Ying's reaction was correct. The moment she drew her weapon, a series of sounds of breaking air were heard in the jungle. Arrows flew through the gaps between trees and leaves and shot straight towards her.
The ball of light immediately turned into a crystal clear longbow that looked like it was carved from crystal. Ling Ying pulled the bowstring without having to put an arrow on it. As soon as the bowstring was pulled, an ice arrow was generated.
The string dropped and the arrow flew out. The extreme acceleration caused a whirlwind to wrap around the arrow, which confused the surrounding air like an electric drill and even formed a vortex. The high-speed rotating arrow directly penetrated the hard tree trunks and forcibly drilled out a wide road in the forest that was wide enough for three carriages to pass through.
As a disciple of the Three Immortals of Yunping, Ling Ying is definitely not a weak person.
A faint scream was heard from the shot arrow, or rather the storm, but it quickly dissipated in the wind, along with the life of the enemy who had just shot the arrow.
After eliminating an enemy, Ling Ying did not relax her vigilance. She held the bow in her left hand and strung the string with her right hand, making sure that she could detect the attack and counterattack in the first place.
When the enemy launched the attack just now, Ling Ying's spiritual consciousness could sense that there were nearly a hundred people emitting murderous aura in the jungle, but that murderous intent only lasted for a moment before disappearing without a trace.
A group of skilled assassins who concealed their murderous intent very well. If Mo Cheng had not sensed these people in advance, he would have been in great trouble when he fell into the enemy's trap.
In a bush, an assassin aimed a crossbow at Ling Ying. The crossbow arrow was dark and seemed to be attracted by the light and would sink deeper and deeper.
The moment the trigger was pulled, the crossbow arrow shot silently towards Ling Ying's back. It could be seen from the appearance that this crossbow arrow was definitely not an ordinary stuff.
Ling Ying seemed to be unaware and allowed the crossbow arrow to get closer.
Seeing that he was about to succeed, the assassin felt his whole body lighten. When he came to his senses, he found that his brain and body had been separated.
Mo Cheng appeared behind the assassin at some point in time, and swung his knife without making any sound, directly chopping off the opponent's head.
The assassin's vitality was extremely strong. Even after being beheaded, he still stared with his eyes wide open, watching the crossbow arrow getting closer and closer...
Then a clear shout was heard: "Zhen Shanhe!"
Suddenly, a white light appeared around Ling Ying. The white light was like the strongest wall protecting Ling Ying. The crossbow arrow and the white light collided, ending with the former's complete defeat.
[Gift from Heaven] Although Mo Cheng does not often use this skill , this skill is by no means weak. Absolute will and absolute holy light form a terrifying defense.
That layer of white light has the protective power of a city wall.
Well, it refers to the defensive capabilities of a country’s capital when the city defense array is at full strength.
After dealing with the last assassin, Mo Cheng looked around and said, "It seems that Gui Yimou has a strong control over the surroundings. We have to speed up our pace."
Ling Ying looked at the white light on her body, and seemed a little curious. "What a powerful spell, it's even more powerful than ordinary protective magic weapons."
"Pure Yang Gong - to suppress mountains and rivers, a very practical technique."
After casually giving his [Gift from Heaven] a nonsense name, Mo Cheng shook off the blood on his fingertips.
Those unknown assassins hiding in the jungle are all skilled fighters with good skills, sharp weapons, and even the advantage of terrain.
Unfortunately, they encountered the master assassin Mo Cheng, which doomed them to be annihilated.
If someone else came, even if that person had a higher level of skill, he might not be able to keep all of the nearly one hundred assassins here.
"By the way, you just asked me if I would protect you, right?"
Mo Cheng tilted his head, seemingly not understanding why Ling Ying would ask such a question just now, "If you are in a dangerous situation and your life is hanging by a thread, then you go first and I will cover you. (Because you are the one who receives the task, you can't get into trouble before the task is completed.)"
