What is a sword bearer?
Xu Qing muttered in his heart.
He didn't know what a sword bearer was, and even his original intention of becoming a sword bearer was not as great as a human guard.
After all, for him, who has been miserable in the world since he was a child, it is impossible to have much feelings for the human race.
His truest thought was to hope that he could live, live better, and live until he killed the crow and the eagle.
As for why he became a sword bearer, one is that the captain wants to become a sword bearer, the second is that after becoming a sword bearer, he can have an extra layer of protection, and the third is that he plans to use the sword bearer's rights to find traces of crows.
Even at the critical moment, the identity of the sword bearer will become his weapon to kill the crow.
These thoughts are actually selfish, but Xu Qing is not the only one, every new sword bearer in various states actually has similar thoughts.
Except for those who have lived in the Sword Holding Palace since they were children, it is impossible for monks from other states to have much affection for the human race.
But these, with the ceremony of welcoming the sword bearer of the Imperial Prefecture, with the emperor's heart, there has been a little change.
But it was only a little bit, not much changed, it just made Xu Qing understand the concept of a sword bearer.
Until he came to the county capital, he saw Kong Xianglong who was different from others, a few Tianjiao who were hostile to him but had no malice, and the palace lord who was strict but obviously defended the sword-wielding person.
I experienced the oath of the sword bearer and heard the history of the human race.
All of this could not be like the wind blowing on him without a trace.
After all, I still left some and settled in my heart.
At this moment, he saw another picture that made his mind tremble.
The young man of the near-human race with one hundred and twenty magic orifices, the boy who aspired to become a sword-wielding man, the boy who still did not reveal information under such cruelty of the Saint Lan Clan.
The other party recited the sword-wielding oath together, smiled, closed his eyes, and dissipated into the collapse of the formation.
Xu Qing didn't know this person, it was the first time he had seen it, and he had seen too much of death, so it was not the death of the young man that made waves in his heart.
but the other party's dreams and choices.
This person could obviously have a better future, but he chose this road of no return.
Xu Qing didn't understand a little, but he knew that he actually understood.
It's just that Feng Chen's heart makes him not so easily accept any outsiders or forces, let alone identify with them and keep them deep in his heart.
Even now, it is still like this.
It's just that he knows that in his eyes, the sword bearer is already unconsciously different.
More respect.
He can have no belonging, but he respects Kong Xianglong's sincerity, the severity of the palace master, the oath of the sword-bearer, and the young man who is dying.
So Xu Qing clenched his fists and bowed deeply towards the place where the young man dissipated.
At this moment, the wind blew, rolling up the dust formed by the collapse of the ground formation, dissipating the flying ashes that turned the boy into, and also blowing the aura contained in the wish box opened on the ground in front of everyone.
The scent is a bit special, with a hint of osmanthus flowers.
Kong Xianglong walked forward step by step with grief and anger in his eyes, came to the place where the boy's body was scattered, squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil on the ground, put it in a bottle carefully, and put it away before picking up the opened wish box.
"Our mission is complete." Kong Xianglong held the wish box, turned his back to everyone, and spoke softly.
Xu Qing was silent, and no one else spoke.
The task I received failed, but the intelligence was obtained, regardless of whether it was successful or not, it was completed.
"Child, go back to the county capital and help me hand over this item to the field office." Kong Xianglong said in a low voice, raised his right hand and waved it, and the wish box went straight to Xu Qing, but was caught by Xu Qing.
When I held it in my hand, the osmanthus fragrance inside became stronger.
"You and the children go back, I'm in a bad mood, I'm going to find a place to go around and relax alone."
Kong Xianglong did not turn around and spoke calmly.
"Okay Brother Long, it's okay for you to relax alone, children, you can go back, I have some personal matters to deal with, so I won't be with you." Shan Hezi clenched his fists, and the veins bulged on it, and suddenly spoke.
"Coincidentally, me too, I want to go back to my hometown, and I won't go back for the time being." Wang Chen's face was gloomy, words came out in a daze, and after speaking, he looked at the sky in the distance.
"I'm with Brother Long." The night spirit looked at Kong Xianglong, his eyes firm.
Xu Qing looked at them, and after a few breaths of silence, he threw the wish box in his hand to a sword bearer in the field office behind him.
"I have personal matters to deal with, you can go back." Xu Qing was expressionless and spoke slowly.
As soon as his words came out, Shan Hezi, Wang Chen, and Ye Ling all looked over together, their expressions showing some surprise.
Kong Xianglong turned around and looked at Xu Qing as well.
"Child, you don't have to."
"I'll go return the gift." Xu Qing looked at Kong Xianglong and spoke seriously.
Kong Xianglong was silent, nodded after a while, turned around and went straight into the distance.
The three of them also followed quickly, and the direction they were going was the border of Fenghai County.
It is also the border of the Shenglan tribe.
Xu Qing took the same step, like an arrow missing from the string, and went straight to the four people.
Naturally, he knew what they were going to do.
It is not uncommon for Kong Xianglong to go out on a mission without following the rules, not to mention seeing the young man being brutally abused by the black-clothed guards with his own eyes.
In addition, the indifferent voice left in the black-clothed Wei Yu slip is still echoing in Xu Qing's memory at this moment.
Xu Qing felt that since the other party had given gifts to the sword bearers, they would naturally have to return the gifts, so that it would be polite.
As the five figures quickly moved away, the sword-wielding people in the field office here stared in silence one by one.
There was envy and emotion in their eyes, but in the end, they bowed to Xu Qing and the others, and after bowing with their swords, they still chose to return.
Not all sword bearers do not abide by the rules.
They cannot go because they have a more important mission at the moment.
Return the intelligence items safely to the county capital.
This is their core mission.
So after the sword ceremony, the sword bearer of the field office left in the night.
At this moment, the cold wind contained the cold of the night, like a messenger of death carrying a sickle to harvest life, accompanying Xu Qing and the five people who were moving forward.
Whistling in front of them, the sound of hunting came from their clothes, and the blowing lifted strands of hair in their hair.
But after it fell on their faces and penetrated into their hearts, it was not as cold as the slaughter in their hearts.
Murderous intent is rising in each of them.
As the speed increases, it becomes more and more intense.
There is no moon and wind high this night, and it is still a murderous night.
From the moment Xu Qing chose to return the gift, whether it was Shan Hezi, Wang Chen, or Ye Ling, his gaze was completely different from before.
Agree, more.
Shan Hezi was covered in blood mist, and his whole body was in the mist, like a cloud of blood from the underworld.
The night spirit had transformed into a demon again, and this time it was not the blue-faced ghost, but a red-boned firebird carrying death.
Wang Chen's misty body was put away, the coffin was opened for the first time, and a dwarf wearing a luxurious robe came out of it.
After smiling at Xu Qing, he licked his lips, his whole body exuded cold, and the earth was frozen wherever he passed.
Kong Xianglong was even more surrounded by golden dragons, emitting terrifying fluctuations all over his body, and taking a step was hundreds of feet, which was extraordinarily powerful.
And Xu Qing is not far behind them here.
The shadow covered the whole body, and the physical power of the Seven Palaces was violent, as fast as thunder, like the spirit of the dark night, thrilling.
They galloped in this dark night, like five Yin Luo who were desperate, and kept approaching the black-clad guards of the Holy Lan clan who were returning but had not yet left Linlan Prefecture.
Although they did not know the specific number of enemies, they could easily assign targets based on experience and understanding.
Finally, before dawn, at the most intense moment of the night, in an area less than a stick of incense from the border, they saw dozens of figures galloping in front of them.
Each of them was wearing a black Taoist robe, more than sixty in total!
Their speed is not fast, obviously they are in a happy mood after completing the task, and at this moment they are galloping, and sometimes there are jokes and stories.
But there were still a lot of alerts, almost at the moment when Xu Qing and the other five rushed over, these black-clad guards of the Shenglan clan immediately noticed, and many people turned around in a daze, their expressions changed.
But it was useless to find it.
Kong Xianglong rushed in first, roaring directly into it.
Xu Qing was the second, like a black lightning bolt directly hitting the body of a black-clad guard of the Five Palaces, and the roar was like a lake of flesh and blood, and the moment the black-clothed guard's miserable scream came out, it came to an abrupt end.
In the eruption of blood, the three of Shan Hezi also rushed over.
The battle, at this moment, suddenly broke out.
A roar came from the black-clothed guards, and they resisted instantly.
As a team that penetrated deep into the Terran Sea Sea County, their combat power and experience were naturally rich.
Among them, there are more than 40 people in the fifth and sixth palaces, and there are also twelve people in the seventh palace.
Most of these seven palaces have the unique imperial skills of the Black Guards.
And the eighth palace has two combat powers.
These two people did not open the heavenly palace with five fires, but they themselves reached the limit of the four fires and seven palaces, and cooperated with the emperor-level exercises to form the combat power of the eight palaces, which was very good.
In addition, there are three team leaders.
It was a half-step primordial infant.
Such strength is the backbone of any sect, but for the Saint Lan clan that occupies the Holy Lan Great Domain, this is just a squad.
And if you add those that ambushed Xu Qing and the others before, it can be seen that the number of Shenlan clans' squad and the strong ones are not only larger, but also stronger.
After all...... Their Shenglan clan is the master of the Shenglan Great Domain, and the foundation formed by the people of the One Domain makes them more powerful.
In contrast, the land of a county is naturally inferior.
But this time the sword-wielding squad was not much different from what they had encountered before!
At this moment, as the two sides touched, the war broke out, and the three half-step primordial infants went straight to Kong Xianglong, and the two Eight Palaces black-clothed guards were about to follow, but a coffin fell directly and blocked them in front of them.
At the same time, the night spirit was also revealed, and the three of them joined forces to fight with these two, delaying time, waiting for Kong Xianglong, and waiting for Xu Qing.
The former was fighting the three strongest half-step primordial infants here.
The latter is fighting against everyone except these.
This is the distribution they made on their way here.
At that time, Xu Qing said a word.
"I'm good at group warfare."
At this moment, Xu Qing took a deep breath and took out the dagger.
The Poison Forbidden Pill of the Third Heavenly Palace in his body was in full operation at this moment, exploding from the inside out of his body.
Countless small black worms spread out from Xu Qing's body, forming an astonishing black mist, with a terrifying aura and deadly poison, shrouded in all directions.
This poison is fast.
As a terrible scream came out of the black-clad guards, Xu Qing looked calm, lowered his head slightly, and rushed towards the crowd.
There was also the black iron stick where the ancestor of the Vajra Sect was located, which also turned into red lightning at this moment and wandered wildly.
There was also the shadow eyes on Xu Qing's eyebrows, which were also blinking rapidly at this moment, and spread out at the same time, blending into the shadows of the surrounding black-clad guards and beginning to devour.
At this moment......
Nightmares, coming.
