Chapter 426: Beheaded Rice

"How on earth did you find us?"

A few minutes later, among the corpses on the ground, there was only one survivor left. The man stared at Xia Yanzhen with wide eyes, only one step away from dying in peace.

The secret guard acted very carefully and had no intention of monitoring the demon lord's intentions or actions.

Including handing over items to Mr. Chen and others, it was completed just by passing by, and putting things somewhere, waiting for Mr. Chen and others to pick them up.

They also paid close attention to the sky and saw no trace of the sky demon - the sky demon was so big that everyone could see it.

So, how did the Demon Lord discover them, confirm their identities, and kill them all directly?

If this doubt is not solved, he will die in peace!

"I saw it." Xia Yanzhen answered his doubts.

"Look, how do you see-"

But the answer was only half the answer. The blood-burning sword pierced the heart, and when it was pulled out, it brought out a flash of flame, ending the life of the last secret guard here - dying with eyes open.

After taking a look at the blood-free sword blade, Xia Yanzhen sheathed the sword and walked out of the courtyard.

How did he see it?

It has nothing to do with Tiamat. Even Tiamat cannot be above the clouds in the sky and have a panoramic view of everything that happens on the ground 24 hours a day.

Xia Yan can really see because of the magic mirror.

When used, the Magic Observation Mirror is like a smart map on a mobile phone, which is a real scene.

You can enlarge and adjust it at any time.

After Tiamat reminded Zhongxiao that there might be something wrong with the five people, Xia Yanzhen was idle and took a look with the magic mirror.

Mr. Chen and the others stayed in the room, communicated through the Concentric Worm, and had brief contact with the secret guards, all of which were seen by Xia Yanzhen.

Mr. Chen's guess was correct. Xia Yanzhen already knew that they had a problem.

And they used the magic observation mirror to observe secretly, and used them to catch many secret guards, and finally caught them all.

As for those poisons, curses, etc., they are really ineffective against Xia Yan.

Now that the secret guard who has been following him has been dealt with, he is about to reach the imperial city. It’s time to deal with the remaining three people in Chongxiao.

Two days later, on the busy official road, the high walls of the imperial city were already in sight.

Chen and the other three looked around from time to time, their expressions serious and alert.

We are about to reach the imperial city, and it’s time for the secret guards to take action.

At this moment, they looked around and felt that they had entered the world of ancient dragons.

Every pedestrian and every street vendor may be a killer, suddenly committing murder.

"Uh-" Xia Yanzhen pulled the reins and stopped the horse, causing the heartbeats of Mr. Chen and others to skip a beat.

Taking action?

No!

The three people looked at Xia Yanzhen strangely.

"Captain Xia?" Mr. Chen took a deep breath and showed a questioning expression.

"I'm hungry, let's have something to eat." Xia Yanzhen said, pointing to a noodle stall on the side of the road.

"Okay." Mr. Chen smiled reluctantly.

The noodle stall on the roadside is doing a good business, even if it is not a meal, there are still many customers.

Xia Yanzhen and the others waited for a while until a small square table was occupied. After a while, the boss brought four bowls of noodles.

The toppings on it are quite rich, including both meat and vegetables.

Xia Yanzhen took a bite. It had a slightly spicy taste and tasted quite good.

Chen and the other three had no intention of eating noodles. They ate one bite after another, but they tasted like chewing wax.

Xia Yanzhen ate happily. After eating, he looked at the three of them: "Aren't you going to eat?"

"Eat, eat."

Mr. Chen lowered his head and started eating.

Xia Yanzhen stood up, walked to the busy boss, and gave him a large ingot of silver.

The boss was startled: "This is impossible to find."

This money is more than enough to buy his temporary small shop, and then go home and lie down for half a year.

"No need to look for it, consider it as compensation." Xia Yanzhen stretched out his hand, and the blood-burning sword and the green wood sheath appeared in his hand and were placed on his waist.

"..."

When the boss saw it, he reacted quickly and immediately stepped back without forgetting to take the money Xia Yanzhen gave him.

Xia Yanzhen walked back to the table.

Chen and the other three raised their heads, looked at the sword at his waist, and were stunned for a moment.

"Have you finished eating?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

As he asked the question, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Yu Huachen and Ah Xing sighed and put down their chopsticks.

That’s it, it’s time to eat without your head.

Mr. Chen was still making his final struggle: "Captain Xia, why did you... take out all your swords?"

"After eating, let's hit the road."

Xia Yanzhen slashed out with his sword, and Ah Xing roared and overturned the table.

Naturally, the small wooden table could not block the blood-burning sword and was easily split open.

Ah Xing dodged the sword edge and attacked Xia Yanzhen as quickly as possible.

The fingers of his hands became slender, and the nails popped out, which were as long as a knuckle, like small blades. His skin was pale, and a pair of fangs were exposed.

Quite a bit like a vampire.

When Ah Xing entered the mission world for the first time, he was bitten by a vampire and used this as a basis for strengthening.

He is very fast and attacks very frequently.

And it has pretty good recovery capabilities.

The sharp claws grabbed Xia Yanzhen's head, and A Xing's body surged with blood, surrounding his hands, and it could rob people of their life force as long as they touched it.

Although people can't die, in battle, sudden weakness can be enough to make a difference or turn the tide of the battle.

The blood that was "boiling" in the palm of his hand met Xia Yanzhen first.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yanzhen split A Xing's palms with a sword and pierced his heart.

The tip of the sword came out from Ah Xing's back, and as Xia Yanzhen drew the sword, a ball of flames burst out from the wound.

An abnormal blush appeared on Ah Xing's pale face, he staggered forward and knelt on the ground.

"Captain Xia...you, as expected, is very strong."

Ah Xing reluctantly raised his head, looked at Xia Yanzhen and said.

There was a bloody hole on his chest, and his heart had disappeared with the sword just now.

Because of the burning flames, the wound was sealed and no blood flowed out.

He was already dying—unless he stood up and danced a dance for his son.

Ah Xing still has a little bit of energy left, so he can get up and dance.

But he didn't do this, because even if he got up, Xia Yanzhen would not give him this chance.

Ah Xing just stretched out his hand and grabbed Xia Yanzhen's clothes tightly, trying to buy Yu Huachen some time.

Yu Huachen was suspended in mid-air, and a complex summoning pattern appeared behind him.

He is a summoner.

However, what is summoned is not a creature, but the power from other creatures.

At the moment, what Yu Huachen is summoning is the strongest power he can summon - the power of the lava beast.

As that power is called forth.

A large number of cracks appeared on Yu Huachen's body, and hot magma flowed out of the cracks.

The whole person also showed a petrified state.

"Captain Xia!"

He roared inhumanly at Xia Yanzhen, "Captain Zhongxiao, Yu Huachen, please enlighten me!"

"Come."

Xia Yanzhen took a step forward, and the hand holding the corner of his clothes slipped.

Behind him, Ah Xing's head was lowered and he died.

As for Mr. Chen, in a short period of time, he had already run hundreds of meters away.

Magma was flowing in Yu Huachen's eyes. He opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of extremely hot magma towards Xia Yanzhen.

Unfortunately, this is not real magma, this is magma formed by extraordinary power.

It may have more terrifying lethality than magma, but to Xia Yanzhen, it does not exist.

Xia Yanzhen stepped forward and thrust out a sword, piercing Yu Huachen's heart.

"Roar!"

Yu Huachen was still roaring.

The power of the lava beast has already exceeded his current upper limit.

His whole body was boiling. Even if Xia Yan didn't kill him, he would die soon.

As for the brain, it is naturally unclear, only a high fighting spirit.

Yu Huachen held the Burning Blood Sword and reached out to grab Xia Yanzhen's shoulders.

The violent lava power roared, like a volcano erupting, tearing apart Yu Huachen's body and bursting out.

The dazzling red lava swallowed up Xia Yanzhen and everything around him.

Fortunately, at this time, there was no one around.

Today's world is in chaos, and even at the foot of the Imperial City, there is no peace.

Ordinary people are still very vigilant and can slip away very quickly if there is any slight disturbance.

When the lava and blinding light dissipated.

There was a dent in the ground, and it was charred black, and everything turned into charcoal that broke at the touch of a finger.

Only Xia Yanzhen was unscathed.

He sheathed his sword and looked towards the imperial city, where Mr. Chen was about to escape for his life.

"The Demon Lord is here!"

"The Demon Lord is here!"

The escaping Mr. Chen roared loudly, his voice shaking the sky.

Near the huge city gate, the soldiers guarding the city almost shot their bows and arrows when they saw Mr. Chen rushing over and causing a huge commotion.

Fortunately, Mr. Chen still held a token in his hand.

The young general guarding the city saw the token clearly. It was the sign of the secret guard.

Although the secret guard is called the secret guard, which sounds very secretive, many people know the secret guard.

The soldiers guarding the city also knew very well what the secret guard's token looked like.

After all, the secret guards often have to leave the city at special times. Why? Of course it’s the brand.

"stop!"

The young general stepped forward and stopped Mr. Chen, "What are you talking about?"

"The Demon Lord is here!" Mr. Chen said, "I want to enter the palace and report to the Emperor! Close the city gate quickly and stop him! Stop him!"

After saying that, he ran towards the city.

"……team leader?"

Following Mr. Chen’s shouting.

There was chaos all around, with the neighing of horses, the horrified cries of the crowd, the sound of whips and loud rebuke.

People near the city gate rushed towards the city, while those a little further away ran towards both sides of the official road.

In the middle of the official road, Xia Yanzhen was walking towards him without any intention of hiding it.

"close the door!"

"close the door!"

"Dong dong dong!"

The war drums outside the city gate were beaten, the soldiers retreated into the city, and the city gate began to close.

People around him who could enter the city entered the city, and those who couldn't entered ran to both sides at all costs.

Soon, the neighborhood took on a sense of desolation after a war.

Scattered luggage, knocked over stalls, abandoned carriages, and horses snoring on the spot.

It was only a few crying children away from the scene after the war.

Xia Yanzhen came under the tall city wall.

On the city wall, a large number of bows and arrows were aimed at him.

Xia Yanzhen looked at the huge city gate in front of him.

There are a total of five city gates here, the middle one is the largest, and there are two much smaller gates on the left and right.

Originally, there were only two doors opened, but now they are all closed.

The sound of war drums and trumpets resounded through the sky.
