Volume 8: Demon Suppression Chapter 79: Ambush, another ambush!
After settling the two human girls, Chuyi and Shiwu, Lu Qingshan began to wait for news from Ying Mingyue.
Unexpectedly, before this, he actually received news from the Senluo King Realm first.
"Father's people have arrived at Jianluo King City. They want to discuss confidential matters with me. Should I go there as soon as possible?"
Lu Qingshan put down the black jade he had just received and frowned slightly.
In the black jade, the unique identity mark of the Demon Lord Xuan Blade is clearly visible, indicating the authenticity of the origin of this black jade.
This is definitely news from the Senluo Realm Lord’s Mansion.
A feeling of troubled times comes over me.
It was an important matter, so confidential that it was not suitable to be delivered directly by message, so someone had to be sent specially to communicate with him.
Moreover, the people sent by the Demon Lord Xuan Blade did not dare to come to his house openly, but had to make an appointment to meet in a secret place privately.
Lu Qingshan had many doubts in his mind, but since the Demon Lord of the Beast Blade was nominally his father after all, he did not dare to delay any longer.
He stood up and prepared to leave the house.
"Your Highness." As soon as he left the room, Meng Cang, who was waiting in the distance, took a step forward, wanting to go with Lu Qingshan.
It is his duty to protect Lu Qingshan's safety.
Lu Qingshan waved his hand and said, "I'm going to go to the market to see if there are any spiritual materials that I like. It's not a big deal, so you don't have to follow me."
There is a special explanation in the message sent by the Demon Lord of the Hound Blade. The matter is extremely confidential and it is best not to let other people know.
So he didn't plan to bring guards with him.
Meng Cang nodded to show that he understood, and quickly retreated.
Lu Qingshan slowly left the mansion.
And just half a quarter of an hour after he left the mansion.
Another group of people came to the mansion.
"Qingge is not in the mansion now?" There was a hint of disappointment on Ying Mingyue's round face.
Next to her was Yu Luo, one of the two guards that Qing Ge was taken away by Ying Jie.
With the help of the pressure from Demon Lord Shi Wu, Ying Mingyue successfully rescued Yu Luo.
After rescuing Yu Luo, the first thing she did was to go to Lu Qingshan with Yu Luo and her own hidden desire to take credit.
However, he did not expect that Qingge was not in the mansion at this time.
"Where did he go?" Ying Mingyue asked subconsciously.
"His Highness said he wanted to visit the market in the royal city." Meng Cang answered honestly.
Meng Cang had no idea about the weird things that happened behind the scenes.
He only knew that the woman in front of him would, if nothing unexpected happened, become his mistress in some time.
So when Ying Mingyue asked, he answered honestly.
The most important thing for a subordinate is eyesight.
"Market place?" Ying Mingyue murmured to himself, nodded, and something seemed to move in his heart.
"I have brought the person back." She pointed at Yu Luo who was standing aside with a dazed look in his eyes.
"On behalf of His Highness, I would like to thank Miss Mingyue in advance." Butler Zhipan said politely.
"You're welcome." Ying Mingyue waved her hand generously, then bowed and said goodbye.
She planned to go to the market to find Qingge.
Well, Qingge has just arrived. What if he is treated as an outsider and cheated by those unscrupulous merchants?
She is from the royal city. If she were around, she could at least help Qingge keep an eye on things.
Ying Mingyue found a suitable reason for her behavior in her heart.
…
The Jianluo King City is divided into the inner and outer cities.
There is also a large market town, one in each of the inner and outer cities.
The place Lu Qingshan was heading to at this time was the market town in the outer city.
On the bustling streets of the market town, many magic cultivators were walking around, and there were many shops on both sides.
There are many demons scattered around Jianluo King City.
These demons have opened shops in the royal city.
In addition, the thirty-three kingdoms also have bases in the royal city, responsible for selling the specialties of their respective kingdoms and purchasing some necessary spiritual materials.
Therefore, the market town of Jianluo King City can be said to be extremely lively and famous, containing many treasures, and all kinds of spiritual materials in the Burning Moon Domain can be seen here.
The entrance of a large shop called "Senluo Lou".
Lu Qingshan raised his head slowly.
This is the shop set up by the Senluo Realm in the Jianluo City. It is also the place where the subordinates sent by the Demon Lord Xuanren agreed to meet and talk with him.
He walked in calmly.
The interior of Senluo Building is extremely spacious. The hall is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people without being crowded. Counters made of precious and exotic wood are neatly arranged, giving people a grand and majestic feeling.
Dozens of charming snake demon maids were wandering around, with gentle and charming smiles.
At this time, in the hall, dozens of demon cultivators were looking around and sizing up the various treasures on the counter.
Business seems to be good.
Lu Qingshan took a glance and thought to himself.
There was a demon cultivator with gloomy eyes who was mixed in with the crowd at this time, and he didn't look abnormal.
But if you pay close attention, you will find that his eyes have been on Lu Qingshan since Lu Qingshan came in.
His name is Ying Lou, and he is one of Ying Jie's assassins. He has gone through all kinds of cruel training and is proficient in the art of assassination.
This time, Yinglou was sent to carry out the mission of assassinating "Qingge".
But in his eyes, this assassination mission seemed very strange.
First of all, he is a primary demon commander, while Qingge is only a primary demon general.
Although Qingge has been very popular during this period, no matter how you look at it, it seems like a waste of talent.
In his opinion, any seventh-rank magic cultivator from the Ying Realm could easily complete the task, so why did they have to send him?
You know, once he takes action in the royal city, he will certainly not escape death afterwards.
Therefore, in this case, it would be a waste to use him to exchange for other pieces.
After all, although there are quite a few seventh-grade death warriors under Ying Jie, there are actually very few who can reach the combat power of a primary magic commander.
In addition, the form of this assassination is also particularly different.
His superiors actually asked him to make a louder noise when taking action and not to kill Qingge with one blow, so that Qingge would die in unclear circumstances.
He had to move slower to give Qingge enough time to react and respond.
The studio is confident that it can kill Qingge no matter what the struggle or what the method.
But he couldn't understand the point of such a unnecessary move.
Is it to torture Qingge?
This can't even be called an assassination; it would be more appropriate to call it a fair and open ambush.
It's outrageous.
As a soldier, he had to grit his teeth and accept the orders no matter how outrageous they were.
He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and focused his mind.
The photo studio is looking for a suitable opportunity to shoot.
At this time, he saw his target "Qing Ge" talking to the maid of the shop. The maid then led him deeper into the shop, apparently to discuss some big business.
"There is no time to lose and we can't delay any longer!" The studio thought to itself.
…
Here, Lu Qingshan was still thinking about what the Hound Blade Demon Lord wanted to tell him.
Deep down in his heart, he always had some bad worries.
"Could it be that my performance in Jianluo King City was too different from before, causing the suspicion of the Demon Lord of the Blade?"
Others may regard his transformation as an explosion after keeping a low profile.
However, as Qingge's biological father, Demon Lord Xuanren undoubtedly knows Qingge very well.
Lu Qingshan was not sure whether he would doubt the identity of "Qing Ge" because of this.
Especially, Xianren is a dignified Demon Lord.
This identity also made Lu Qingshan feel extremely pressured.
Many thoughts kept running through his mind.
Um?
The next moment, Lu Qingshan's eyes widened.
Right next to him, a demon cultivator with black scales growing on his face was chatting happily with a maid. Suddenly, a dark blade light burst out from his hand and slashed towards him.
The distance was so close, and his mind was previously immersed in other things, so the sudden appearance of the knife light really startled Lu Qingshan.
The demon cultivator who took action was extremely powerful.
Lu Qingshan felt that he had no way to hide from this flash of knife.
"Seventh grade, and definitely not an ordinary seventh grade, it should be a magic cultivator with the fighting power of a Demon Marshal!" Lu Qingshan was shocked.
Strangely and fortunately, the knife light was not directed at him.
The violent blade light cut straight through the waist of the snake demon maid beside Lu Qingshan who had not yet reacted.
The maid's enchanting waist was instantly split in two.
The upper part of her body flew high up in the air, with a look of shock on her face, as if she had not yet realized that she had been cut in half.
"Qing Ge, you will die!"
The demon cultivator killed the maid with one sword, and then he refused to give in and let out a loud roar.
He raised the long sword in his hand again, and this time slashed at Lu Qingshan.
"This person is coming for me!" Lu Qingshan reacted.
He wanted to escape, but he couldn't.
The knife was too fast and too powerful. If he ran away, he would be leaving his back to others to be killed at will.
The person who made the move was a seventh-rank demon cultivator.
But he is actually only a cultivator in the fifth realm.
Although now he can easily kill enemies across levels.
However, it was still impossible for him to escape by jumping two levels.
If a seventh-rank demon cultivator attacks to kill a fifth-level cultivator, and the fifth-level cultivator can still save his life without relying on external forces, then is there any need for the demon clan's cultivation system to exist?
This is a dead end.
Only by using the sword talisman given by Xia Daoyun can he save himself.
There is no other way.
However, Lu Qingshan also understood that once he used the sword talisman in such a public place, his identity would be exposed.
Once his identity is exposed, his ending will not be good.
It's just the difference between dying early and dying late.
"The longer I can live, the better. If I don't use the sword talisman now, I'll be doomed." Lu Qingshan made a decision in his mind instantly.
He will never give up hope.
Every difficulty will be overcome.
Let’s solve the current difficulties first.
As he thought of this, the sword talisman appeared in the palm of his hand.
Just as he was about to activate the sword talisman.
boom!
An extremely dazzling blood-red arrow shot out at an unimaginable speed, even faster than the speed of his sword talisman.
A strong bloody aura was released from the blood arrow, like cold lightning piercing the void.
Rumble.
A blood-red arrow passed through Lu Qingshan's side and hit Yinglou directly.
There is a terrifying power contained in it.
In the gray eyes of Ying Lou, which were now full of blood, there flashed a hint of disbelief.
His instinctive desire to survive made him sacrifice his divine body.
Layers of thick black mist poured out from his body.
However, the power of the blood arrow was so terrifying that his resistance did not even have the slightest effect.
In an instant, the body of the photo studio was engulfed in blood.
Immediately, his terrifying divine and demonic body, which he had cultivated for many years, melted like an ice cream under the cover of blood.
He turned into a pool of blood, splashing in all directions.
The originally magnificent Senluo Tower was suddenly stained with a thick layer of blood, looking extremely terrifying.
The ferocious and violent criminal was killed in an instant!
Lu Qingshan silently put away the sword talisman in his hand, and turned his head in astonishment, looking for someone to rescue him.
At this moment, a figure flashed quickly from behind, and in an instant , it landed in front of him.
"Qing Ge, are you okay?"
Ying Mingyue's face was pale and full of anxiety.
But when she looked at Lu Qingshan, her eyes were shining brightly, with an indescribable divine light.
The person who took action was actually Ying Mingyue!
Just like Qing Ge had a drop of immortal demon blood given by the Demon Lord Xuan Blade on his body to protect himself.
As a daughter who is extremely loved by Demon Lord Shi Wu, Ying Mingyue also has a drop of divine and demonic blood given by Demon Lord Shi Wu as a trump card to save her life.
The divine and demonic body cultivated by Demon Lord Shi Wu, like the immortal divine and demonic body of Demon Lord Hui Blade, are both among the ninety-nine supreme divine and demonic bodies of the demon clan.
The difference is that the divine and demonic body cultivated by Demon Lord Shi Wu is called the Thirteen Weapon Demon Body.
Compared with the powerful recovery and defense capabilities of the Immortal God and Demon Body, the Thirteen Soldiers Demon Body is more focused on attacking.
Once this kind of divine and demonic body is successfully cultivated, the practitioner will be able to condense thirteen powerful weapon spirits with unparalleled power.
And the essence and blood of gods and demons condensed in it can contain the power of military evil.
When needed, Ying Mingyue can mobilize the power in this drop of god and demon blood with just a thought, and use this weapon to kill the enemy.
Although the power that a drop of blood can carry is limited, the power of this evil weapon is still strong enough to kill an eighth-grade demon cultivator.
Now, in order to save Lu Qingshan, Ying Mingyue didn't care about wasting it, and subconsciously activated the power of this drop of god and demon blood.
It can be said that the photo studio's death under such means was not unfair, and it can even be said to have made a huge profit.
Lu Qingshan came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
The first attack of the murderer was directed at the maid beside him.
Before the second attack could hit him, Ying Mingyue activated the Bingsha and killed him instantly.
Apart from the false alarm, nothing really happened to him.
"Why are you here?" Lu Qingshan asked, feeling extremely strange and with complicated emotions.
He could never have imagined that in such a critical situation just now, Ying Mingyue would suddenly appear and save him.
Ying Mingyue bit her lip and explained, "I asked my father to rescue your men from Ying Jie's hands, and then when I sent him to your house, I found that you were not there. The people in your house said that you came to the market, and I just wanted to buy some things in the market, so I followed you. I didn't expect to encounter this situation. Fortunately, I followed you!"
Speaking of this, Ying Mingyue was still frightened, and her plump chest rose and fell violently.
If the murderer had not been so unprofessional, first he killed an unrelated snake demon maid for no reason, and then he shouted Qingge's name the second time, attracting her attention, she might not have been able to save Lu Qingshan in time.
It’s so dangerous!
Lu Qingshan also gritted his teeth, with murderous intent in his heart.
See the ambush again.
When he was a human, he encountered several crazy assassinations by the underworld without regard for losses.
As a result, he changed from Lu Qingshan to Qingge, but the ambush still happened to him.
It's like an inescapable fate.
And this time it was even more ruthless. A seventh-rank demon cultivator brazenly attacked in the "Senluo Tower" where private fighting was strictly prohibited and which theoretically belonged to his home ground.
"It's really thanks to you this time." Lu Qingshan thanked sincerely.
This is definitely a life-saving grace.
"You're welcome. It's just a small matter." Ying Mingyue said subconsciously with reserve.
How can it be considered a small matter to use such precious blood of gods and demons to save Lu Qingshan?
However, Ying Mingyue found that she did not hesitate at all when she made the move, and now she did not even have any regrets in her heart.
Very puzzling.
At this time, the surrounding onlookers also reacted, all with a look of horror on their faces.
Something big happened!
There were actually criminals who disregarded the ban and committed crimes in the royal city!
Moreover, the target of the crime was Qing Ge, the son-in-law of the Wu clan who had recently become famous in the royal city.
Anyone with a little bit of common sense can understand the undercurrents behind this matter.
Some people have already begun to retreat quietly, fearing that they will get into trouble.
"No one present is allowed to leave!" Ying Mingyue was feeling a little embarrassed, but suddenly saw someone preparing to leave. She could no longer care about anything else and suddenly shouted loudly.
"Everyone present here must stay and be investigated. Anyone who tries to leave will be directly regarded as an accomplice of the murderer." She swept the entire room with a cold gaze, full of coolness and a rare sense of dominance.
Qing Ge was assassinated in the royal city. This matter is definitely not something that can be easily covered up by the death of the person who did it.
We must find out who is behind this!
