That kind of red is not the splendor of rays of light, nor the smell of blood, but a pure, ultimate true red.
That's the color of cinnabar.
Since ancient times, people have used a vermilion pen to make judgments on murders. The purest cinnabar is used. Once a mark is placed on the prisoner's name, his qualifications as a human being in the mortal world are removed.
When the cinnabar is written, the head falls to the ground!
In the sky full of cinnabar, a thin line drew across Xia Shangzhuguo's neck, which was lighter than a brush brush.
Then--
A gray-haired human head fell down.
There is no sound and no destruction. It is as if it is the whip of the king of hell, the book of life and death of the judge, and the soul-locking chain of black and white. There is no need for any tricks to destroy the world. It is your destiny. When he arrives, you will
It's time to die.
puff--
Blood shot up into the sky. When a head fell, a large amount of bright plasma spurted out from the neck, which was more intense than a fountain. The blood mixed with the cinnabar shadow that had not yet dissipated, making the red even redder.
When the head fell, the huge flowers and singing cicadas suddenly stopped, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
The huge flower had already opened on top of Xing Ji's head. The next moment it was about to bite like a wild beast and bite off his head. However, it stopped completely at this time. It stopped on top of Xing Ji's head, far away.
It looked like a very beautiful flower crown on his head.
Xing Ji maintained a calm posture, as if he was performing a play that had been rehearsed many times, and like an experienced executioner silently watching another group of criminals commit suicide.
Tang Zhao watched from below, and instinctively felt that although this posture was very handsome, it was really unnecessary to avoid and dodge like this. He was risking his own safety just for the sake of the last scene. In other words, he couldn't control Mr. Xing.
, if he, a prince, saw this scene, he would scold Xing Ji.
But that's all he thought about, and more of his mind was still immersed in that unreasonable hook.
Just now... was that swordsmanship?
What kind of swordsmanship is it? What kind of attack is it?
A swordsman was killed just like that? Was he written off by swordsmen of the same level? Not even a chance to resist?
That's a swordsman! When you reach that level, you must have developed the swordsmanship to save your life and escape. Even if you are outmatched, you can still run away. How can you be killed so easily? Or fighting at the same level, or without being touched by a sword?
?
That swordsmanship...instant death...is it a rules-based swordsmanship?
So unreasonable!
Very few swordsmanship can touch the level of rules. Some special cases are just tricks, relying on the infinite closeness of the sword's intention, borrowing the rules of the "sword's intention", and displaying them in some form, but the limitations are also extremely great.
For example, the judge's "Xie Zhi Sword" can judge good and evil and has strong suppression of evil. This is a rule, but when used, it needs to be struck. The sword can only distinguish between life and death. It does not mean that the evil man will die just standing there. The same is true of wheat.
Shigure's "replacement" can change bad luck and good luck, but it still needs to be hit, and the replacement needs to be prepared early.
There is no rule of swordsmanship that does not require hands-on action, fighting, or even being at a disadvantage, but when you look at the enemy face to face, the enemy's head will fall off on its own.
What a terrifying swordsmanship this is...
"Did you see it? Did you see it?" Deputy Chi became excited next to him and pulled Tang Zhao and said: "This is the legendary long-step sword technique. Fortunately, he has the ability to stack these steps. Have you never seen it?
It’s my first time to see him. It’s an eye-opener, it’s an eye-opener! After all, it’s Xing Ji. I’ve heard that he is one of the top geniuses in the Prosecution Department. It’s so exciting..."
Long level...swordsmanship?
Tang Zhao had vaguely heard of this sword technique.
The long step does not mean the realm level, but the step, which means building steps in front of a high threshold. It seems to mean that if you want to achieve amazing effects with swordsmanship, if you exceed your realm, you will waste a lot of time.
Sword essence may not be understood at all. If you have to force it, you can use tricks to set strict conditions and step-by-step sword skills before the sword skills. Some powerful sword skills even require several sword skills or even sword skills in advance.
trigger.
Although the long-level swordsmanship is difficult to activate, its power is amazing. Once activated, it may even be possible to "kill the enemy beyond the level" and can be used as a trump card for one person or even a force. Therefore, the cultivation method of swordsmanship and even the long-level swordsmanship
The concepts are all kept secret. Tang Zhao only heard about them.
But it’s not necessarily true that this long-level swordsmanship is invincible. After all, if there are too many steps and they are too harsh, then it will depend on some luck, the enemy must be just right, and you have to work step by step to lure the opponent into a trap step by step, and
This can only be done in an encounter. If you kill the living but not the familiar, anyone who knows the specific information will basically not fall into the trap.
For example, the execution method is modeled on the process of chasing criminals. The steps are set up from the swordsmanship of "Wanted", one by one, and finally "the trick". To deal with such a heinous person like Shangzhu Guo, he is called the opponent.
, how do you judge someone who behaves fairly well? How do you know what crime he has committed when you meet a stranger? How do you "confess" when you meet a demon? If you think about it carefully, creating such a sword technique is not worth the gain.
Tang Zhao even thought: What was the opportunity for Xingji to come up with this sword technique?
It's definitely not prepared for today...
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Xing Ji closing his eyes and falling from the sky.
Tang Zhao was startled and was about to catch up, when he saw Bifan squeezed out from the stagnant flowers, caught him, and carried him slowly down the mostly dry flower tree.
When you reach the realm of swordsman, the sword image manifests forever and is not affected by the swordsman's state.
Tang Zhao immediately understood that Xingji had lost his strength. No matter how many steps, no matter how demanding, the move just now had such power, it must have consumed an astonishing amount of energy, right?
It turns out that I wasn’t pretending to be cool just now, but I was too tired to move...
He drew out his sword and planned to give Xing Ji a shot of "One day's plan lies in the morning". Although the recovery effect of swordsmanship may not be effective for swordsmen, it must have some effect, right?
After all, the battle is over, I just need to recover a little...
"Lying on the grass——"
A sudden exclamation came from Deputy Chi behind him, and his voice burst out of his throat, almost out of control.
Tang Zhao turned back suddenly, his eyes almost flying out of his sockets.
In mid-air, Xia Xia Shang Zhuguo's body suddenly started to move. His two big hands scrambled in the air, grabbing the head that was about to fall, and placing it on his chest.
Lying on grass... Xingtian?!
Immediately afterwards, the head fell off on its own.
Obviously, if the neck is broken, even the original head cannot be pushed back so easily.
The hands put the head on the neck several times, but could not place it firmly. After the attempt failed, they simply held it in their hands.
This series of actions made Tang Zhao's hair stand on end and his mind went blank. Since he started practicing martial arts, his courage has increased day by day. Now he has developed courage. But seeing this situation, he regained the feeling of getting under the bed while listening to ghost stories when he was a child.
, I just feel my hands and feet are cold.
At the same time, the giant flowers and trees that had withered just now moved again. The giant flowers bared their teeth and claws, the flower stems danced wildly, and the big trees snapped wildly, and the branches whipped out in all directions like whips. The surrounding forest swept by the flames was ready to move. Suddenly, all directions
Grass and trees are all soldiers.
Alive! Really alive!
Tang Zhao felt his mouth was dry, and Deputy Commander Chi shouted: "Gan Liliang - run!"
Tang Zhao also had the first thought of running away, but then he turned back to find Xing Ji who was unconscious.
But his worries were in vain, Bi An was still awake, running wildly with four legs in the air as if it had eight legs, and ran away like a gust of wind.
Bi Fan ran away first, and Tang Zhao was relieved. While wielding his sword, he shouted: "Deputy envoy, let's go east together."
He had just found out that the east side had the fewest woods and the shortest escape route. Now it was no longer enough to stay away from the big tree. He had to run out of the forest to be safer.
Deputy Chi agreed, and the two of them rushed out with their swords, escaping from the hysterical forest.
Just after rushing out a few feet, Deputy Chi was suddenly startled and shouted: "You go first, don't worry about me." He turned around and went back.
How could Tang Zhao really ignore him? Looking back, he saw him avoiding the dancing branches and rushing towards the cage placed on the ground.
The red-haired Zhuguo Zhou Chengzhi is still there!
After Tang Zhao saw it clearly, he was slightly startled and felt that it should be so.
At this moment, the big tree seemed to be on a stimulant and was constantly expanding. Its roots were pushing the land forward like pushers, flattening everything it touched. In the blink of an eye, it had reached the edge of the cage.
Deputy Chi saw from a distance that the cage was about to be swallowed up, but Zhou Chengzhi was sitting in the cage without any reaction. He breathed out a breath of alcohol, and the flames rose up, immediately burning the nearby branches, forcing the group to retreat.
invasion.
Zhou Chengzhi was still in the cage and seemed to have been caught by the fire. But it didn't matter, he was not afraid of fire anyway.
Deputy Chi rushed to the cage and was about to put it away. At this time, several branches approached crazily. He couldn't touch the mechanism, so he had to use a little more strength to drag the entire cage away.
Zhou Chengzhi suddenly seemed to wake up from a dream and shouted in a loud voice: "You don't need to save me! Stop being so pretentious! Why should I need you to save my life if you are not locking me up?"
Deputy Chi didn't bother to pay attention to him, and moved his sword forward with all his strength, piercing through the layers of branches and the cicadas that bumped against each other from time to time.
Zhou Chengzhi shouted to himself: "Hypocrisy! You came so quickly today, why didn't you come earlier?"
Deputy Chi moved forward with all his heart, and finally replied, "I didn't come at that time because I did something wrong. I should have come no matter what."
Zhou Chengzhi was startled when he heard someone shout:
"Swordsmanship—Morning Light!"
A ray of light came from the front, passed through the shadows blocked by the heavy trees, and accurately enveloped the two people.
Deputy Chi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's coming, it's coming!"
But Zhou Chengzhi couldn't help curling his lips and said: "It's this trick again!"
There was a flash of light and the two people disappeared on the spot.
At the same time, Shangzhu Guo, who was holding his head in the sky, did not seem to have any intention of chasing the enemy. Instead, he dropped the crazy flower tree, burst out at an unprecedented speed, and went in the other direction.
