Monarch of Evernight: Sixty-two side by side
bsp;At this moment, an exclamation suddenly sounded: “Essence of ancient times!”
Qianye and Yetong were both slightly startled. They turned around and saw a person walking out of the shadows, and Xu Lang appeared at the entrance of the cave.
Looking at the ancient essence fragment in Qianye’s hand, Xu Lang could not move his eyes for a moment, and could no longer hide the desire and greed in his eyes.
Neither Qianye nor Yetong moved. Only the muzzle of the sniper rifle in Yetong’s hand inadvertently moved to the side. It was now pointing in the direction of Qianye.
Xu Lang finally withdrew his gaze with difficulty and glanced at the situation in the cave. The cave was in a mess. It was obvious that a battle had just taken place, and embers were still burning in some places. Looking at the injuries on Qianye’s body, there was the smell of black titanium in the two wounds, and blood was oozing from the hastily bandaged cloth on his abdomen.
Xu Lang pulled out his sword and said in a deep voice: “Are you Zhao Qianye of the Zhao clan? From now on, you will be under my command. Bring over the ancient essence fragments, and then cooperate with me to kill the princess of Menluo. I will report your achievements to the empire when I return.”
Qianye is also sizing up this young man who suddenly appeared in imperial military uniform. He has seen this young man’s look too many times, from the street gangs in Dark Blood City to the aristocratic families who control the exchange points for **** battles. In the face of great interests, Greed devours their reason and limits, and they will try any unreasonable means.
He couldn’t help but smile and said: “Why is this commander’s order different from the military order I heard before I came down?”
Xu Lang’s face suddenly darkened, and he said coldly: “As an imperial general, I naturally have the authority to command in battle. What, are you going to disobey me?”
Qianye simply does not believe that the ancient essence fragments can enter the imperial treasury if they fall into Xu Lang’s hands. This is really a poor excuse. He slowly stood up, holding the fragment of ancient essence in one hand, and holding Dongyue in the other hand, and said calmly: “The strong is king in this place. The things are in my hands. If you want it, you can get it yourself.”
Xu Lang narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: “Zhao Qianye, you want to betray the empire!”
Qianye laughed, “Empire? You dare to say this outside? There are many people who want to steal the Zhao family’s things during this **** battle of the Iron Curtain. It seems that you are one of them. Very good. I will remember you. .”
Xu Lang’s face became more gloomy, his aura continued to rise, and he walked towards Qianye, “So, I can’t let you get out alive, even though I didn’t intend to let you go.”
“Who are you?” Qianye glanced at the red scorpion logo on Xu Lang’s body, somewhat curious.
“People who are dying don’t need to know my name.” Xu Lang replied. Halfway through, he suddenly glanced at Nighteye and said, “Prince of Monroe, you are also seriously injured, right? It’s still too late to leave now, otherwise you will be the next one to die.”
Yeye Tong’s eyes flickered, and the wound on her leg exuded the smell of fresh blood, as if it was healing very slowly. At this time, she glanced at Qianye, and then looked at the rich and substantial force on Xu Lang’s body. , and then slowly retreated to one side.
Xu Lang laughed loudly and strode towards Qianye. The short knife in his hand kept shaking and making a heart-stopping cry. But before he could take the next step to the ground, there was a sudden sharp pain in his heart, and he almost fell to the ground.
Xu Lang was not slow to respond. The force of his body exploded, and at the same time the tip of the knife touched the ground. He was able to stand firm, but the taste of blood was already in his mouth. He turned his head in shock and saw Ye Tong’s cold eyes and the black muzzle of the sniper rifle, searching between his eyebrows.
Without any thought, Xu Lang’s fighting instinct developed over many years made him fly into the air to dodge the next attack. However, at the moment when he exerted his strength to fly into the air, his heart spasmed inexplicably. The pain caused this time was not as severe as before, but it also made his movements slightly out of shape and lacked strength.
With a whoosh, a strange roar sounded in the cave. After Qianye activated his pupil technique, he stepped forward. At the same time, Dongyue swept across and slashed Xu Lang’s waist.
Xu Lang shouted and blocked with his knife. But the other person was in the air and had nowhere to exert force. The short knife suddenly opened a hole, and the person was swept away.
Although Qianye didn’t have much force to use after the fierce battle with Ye Tong, but with only his physical strength and Dongyue’s foundation, this blow was not something that ordinary people could resist.
Xu Lang stood up in the air, then his body suddenly fell sharply and stood on the ground. However, when he looked back, he saw a large number of dead souls. Qianye and Yetong each held two guns, the muzzles of the guns flashed, and they were shooting fiercely in this direction!
Dodging bullets is a compulsory skill for every imperial general. Xu Lang judged the trajectory in an instant, took a step forward, and prepared to take a shot to avoid the other force bombs. But the moment he took a step, the strange pain in his heart reappeared. Even though Xu Lang had experienced it once, he still couldn’t completely control his body reaction, and his feet involuntarily stagnated.
It was this subtle difference that gave Xu Lang another shot. Moreover, the trajectory of a Force bomb with a faint black air in the air suddenly curved and also hit Xu Lang. This is a force bomb mixed with black titanium!
In fact, Xu Lang’s judgment when he appeared was correct. Qianye and Yetong were both at the end of their strength, and the force bombs they fired were average. But Xu Lang was shot three times in an instant, and his Force defense was still directly shattered. Especially the Force bomb mixed with black titanium made him feel cold all over. He made a quick decision and jumped into a cave passage to escape.
The gunshots continued to roar, Qianye and Yetong stood side by side, and a second wave of bullets hit the passage. At the end of the passage, Xu Lang roared in pain, and it was obvious that he had been shot again.
“Zhao Qianye! You colluded with the vampires, the empire will not let you go!” Xu Lang yelled with hatred, and his voice quickly faded away.
Yeye Tong turned to look at Qianye and asked: “Is it important?”
Qianye sheathed the twin flowers and said, “It’s okay. After returning to the empire, it’s not certain who will cause trouble for whom.”
The two looked at each other, and the tacit understanding they had just fighting side by side was really charming.
Qianye also discovered the difference in eye skills between himself and Ye Tong. Nighteye’s pupil technique is extremely lethal and can penetrate the Force defense, but the power will still be lost after successful penetration, and it consumes more to activate and requires a certain time interval.
The theoretical attack power of Qianye’s pupil control is much smaller, but the force penetration ability is still higher than that of night pupil, and it consumes less and is activated quickly. The battle with Xu Lang lasted only a few seconds, and Qianye had already launched his pupil technique twice in a row, both of which affected Xu Lang’s actions at critical moments and initially caused him to lose quickly.
Perhaps this is the real use of pupil control.
After this incident, Qianye stopped delaying and began to absorb the ancient essence fragments under the protection of Nighteye. I have the experience of absorbing the remaining crystals of the ghost’s clone. This time the process went very smoothly. The impact of the will of the ancient behemoth was also offset by the memory of the ghost.
When Qianye woke up from meditation, he found that the internal and external injuries on his body were basically healed, and even the blood core wounds were mostly healed. A finger-sized crystal sprouted from the original wound, sealing the wound.
This crystal grows together with the blood core, but its properties are different from those tiny crystal grains in the blood core. It is somewhat similar to ancient essence fragments. Qianye looked at it for a long time and couldn’t figure out whether this new crystal was part of the blood core.
Only when a vampire reaches the prince level, the blood core will completely crystallize and turn into blood amber. Although Qianye has never seen blood amber, based on some knowledge he gained from the river of blood, it seems that blood amber is not like this.
Qianye put this matter aside and began to check the status of the force in his body. The ancient essence fragment contains the vast void force. After it enters the body, it immediately splits into two, while replenishing his dawn force and blood.
The energy attached to a fragment is extremely huge. Just one week of meditation restored Qianye’s force and blood to their peak, and all the excess energy was absorbed by the Black Book. This mysterious black book is like a bottomless abyss, which seems to be able to contain no matter how much energy there is. When the ancient essence fragments were completely absorbed, the ancient runes on its cover reappeared.
Qianye opened his eyes and saw Ye Tong sitting quietly not far away from him with his arms around his knees, his expression calm and filled with relaxation and vague joy. He finally asked a question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time: “Why did you want to die in the beginning? Is it related to the Pas clan?”
“What about you? Why don’t you take action?” Ye Tong asked.
Qianye knelt down and sat up, stretched out his hand to pull Ye Tong’s body, making her face him. The two looked at each other, unable to escape anymore, and then said: “You know why I did that. Answer me now. question. ”
Yeye Tong finally sighed and said, “It has something to do with the Paz clan.”
Next, Ye Tong explained everything. Hearing that Saint Edward was using various means to force Ye Tong, Qianye’s eyes lit up with murderous intent, and he tightened his grip on Ye Tong’s shoulders.
Yetong sighed, caressed Qianye’s face, and said, “Don’t be impulsive. Neither you nor I can be Edward’s opponent now, not to mention that there is the Paz clan behind him, and… the supreme Lily. Your Majesty.”
Qianye nodded and asked: “Where’s Monroe, they won’t let this matter go unchecked, right?”
“If Monro were still the Black Winged King, this would not have happened. But it is different now. Everyone knows that Her Majesty Lilith hates His Majesty Andua very much. Now that she has awakened from her long sleep, the whole All vampires must submit to her will, and Monro is no exception. In the past thousands of years, the only one who dared to disobey her was the Black Wing King.”
“So Monroe will hand you over?”
Yeye Tong nodded silently.
“What are your plans now?”
Hearing this question, Ye Tong’s face showed confusion, “I, I don’t know, my father… it’s impossible to go home. Maybe he will go to a neutral place?”
Qianye recalled what Ye Tong said, and suddenly caught a key point: “If you hand over the ancient essence fragments to the Eternal Night Council, there will be a turn for the better, right?”
Under the bright gaze of Qianye, Ye Tong finally couldn’t resist and said: “Forget it, if I take the ancient essence fragment back, Her Majesty Lilith promises to return my freedom.”
“Then why did you give it to me!” Qianye was annoyed.
“Don’t you understand? It’s just that Her Majesty Lilith doesn’t interfere. She won’t care about what Edward wants to do.” At this point, Ye Tong’s eyes showed bitterness and said, “Even if Monroe still I don’t plan to go back if I can protect me. Besides, no one really cares about me. All my relatives want is to use my identity to gain benefit and power for themselves.”
Qianye slowly hugged Ye Tong into his arms, stroked her soft black hair, and said after a long time: “Follow me!”
