Facing this monster that was neither human nor ghost, the emperor's breathing became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Master, I have treated you well over the years, why do you treat me like this?"

Taiping Taoist Priest made a sharp and strange cry, "It's just mutual use."

Taking advantage of each other?

The emperor wanted to use his alchemy method to seek immortality, but why?

that power?

Backed by imperial power and protected by the emperor, his status in the capital can be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

money?

Over the years, Taiping Taoist Temple has made a lot of money through funding from the inner and outer courts.

Fan Xiaodao asked: "But it has something to do with Dingzhou?"

Yi Zhihua said that he and Taoist Taiping are the only two people in the world who have been to Dingzhou City, especially Taoist Taiping, who came from Dingzhou City. Is that place a fairyland on earth or a land of gods?

, we don’t know, but if there is anything in the world that can make Taiping moved, it should be Dingzhou City.

Taiping Taoist Master did not answer.

The strange power in his body was devouring his mind, and he only had one goal in mind, which was to kill the emperor.

Taiping Taoist Master's sharp claws grabbed at the emperor.

Fan Xiaodao had already stood in front of him and said sternly: "How dare you!"

A sword thrust out, cutting straight into Taoist Taiping's sharp claws. Taoist Taiping did not flinch and took the sword forcefully.

Click!

When the sharp claws touched the Jinghong Sword, it made a jingle sound and broke with the sound.

Taiping's claws could break Zhao Xing's steel knife, but it was broken by Fan Xiaodao's sword.

The name of the sword, Jinghong, is an accessory used by Li Qingcheng, the sword god in white. This sword has cut through the heavens, and countless evil spirits have died under its sword. How can Taoist Taiping be able to kill them?

Taoist Taiping looked at Jinghong Sword.

The cold light flows on the body of the sword, and there is a faint flow of sword energy. This is not Fan Xiaodao's sword energy, but the sword energy inherent in the sword body.

People have spirituality and can use the true energy of heaven and earth through exercises to cultivate sword energy.

A sword has no orifice and no holes, how can it have sword energy?

However, there is indeed a kind of sword energy flowing on the Jinghong sword that does not belong to Fan Xiaodao.

Taiping Taoist Master was originally a master of martial arts. He didn't use his martial arts, but he took this demonic pill that messed with people's minds and made himself neither human nor ghost. It's no wonder that Fan Xiaodao was ruthless. Fan Xiaodao sensed the energy in the sword body.

, giving Taiping Taoist Master no chance to breathe at all.

Cut off reincarnation with one sword.

He directly used the strongest sword in the Li family's swordsmanship.

The air seemed to be scorched.

It's so hot that it's hard to breathe.

There was a thunder in the clear sky.

Taoist Taiping jumped up and rushed towards the emperor. The long sword struck him and cut Taoist Taiping in half in mid-air. However, the killing move was completed. Taoist Taiping's lower body fell to the ground, while his upper body fell into the air.

Like maggots clinging to bones, he landed on the emperor. He opened his fangs and bit into the emperor's neck.

Just a few steps away!

That half of the body could not move forward an inch.

Fan Xiaodao grabbed his upper body with one hand.

Taiping Taoist priest was unwilling to give in and kept opening his mouth to bite, but he never succeeded.

Fan Xiaodao waved his hand and threw half of his body on the lotus platform. He slashed out with his sword and the tung oil in the lotus lamp flowed out instantly, soaking half of his body. Taoist priest Taiping kept struggling and roared,

"Then we'll die together!"

He knocked down the lotus platform.

In an instant, the body covered with tung oil started to burn.

The entire lotus platform was plunged into a sea of ​​fire.

At the same time, thick smoke also rose from the fifth floor of the Eternal Life Tower.

When the people on the long street saw the lotus platform on the Eternal Life Tower on fire, they thought it was specially arranged by the Holy Scriptures. However, when they saw that the fire was getting bigger and bigger and engulfed the entire Eternal Life Tower in an instant, they were all scared and turned pale. Not long ago,

They saw the figure of His Majesty the Emperor.

Your Majesty is in danger!

Some people were even scared to tears.

The officials in the audience also shouted: "Hurry up and help!"

In the Temple of Heaven, there are ten large water tanks for running water, but no one dares to step forward. The fire has started, and the top and bottom are on fire at the same time. On the top of the tower, there is a half-man, half-ghost monster.

They simply don't dare to act without permission.

Zhao Xing has woken up at this moment.

The smoke was billowing, and I couldn't see any movement on the top of the tower. I was anxious, but there was nothing I could do.

At this time, Fan Xiaodao tore off a piece of yellow silk and wrapped it around the emperor's waist, "Your Majesty, hold on tight!"

The emperor Ruyan grabbed the Huang Ling around his waist.

Fan Xiaodao took a sharp breath and jumped down from the twelve-foot-long Tower of Eternal Life.

In mid-air, he took a breather and shouted: "Zhao Xing!"

Zhao Xing turned his palms over, preparing to take off the impact of Fan Xiaodao and the emperor.

Whoosh!

An iron arrow shot through the air.

Fan Xiaodao had exhausted all his breath, but he didn't expect that the mantis was catching the cicada and the oriole was behind him.

The archer hiding in the distance suddenly attacked!

If he lets go in mid-air, the emperor will die.

If he didn't let go, that iron arrow would kill the emperor.

Fan Xiaodao is in a dilemma.

This archer is very good at seizing opportunities.

If there are dead soldiers on the Tower of Eternal Life, and there is a fan knife, one arrow may not be able to kill him with one hit, but at this moment, it is a certain death situation.

puff!

Fan Xiaodao had no choice but to block with his sword. The arrow came too fast. Before he could touch it, he heard a muffled groan in the air. The long arrow shot out of his chest. A line of blood mist was drawn in the air. Fan Xiaodao landed on it.

On Zhao Xing's palms, a powerful internal force relieved the impact and immediately caught the emperor who fell down.

The emperor was hit by an arrow in the chest, his chest was bright red, and his face was bloodless.

The power of that arrow was so great that when it penetrated the body, it directly shattered the emperor's internal organs. It was obvious that he was already dead.

On the tower dozens of feet away, Yi Zhihua saw this scene and shook his head slightly, with a look of disappointment on his face, "Zhu Dian, Zhu Dian, you still miscalculated after all."

He immediately disappeared into the crowd.

Fan Xiaodao injected an internal force into the emperor's body, but Zhao Xing shook his head, "It's hopeless!"

He held the emperor's hand and said, "Old Xu, what other last wishes do you have?"

The "Emperor" exhausted his last bit of strength and said, "Take good care of my wife and daughter." After that, he breathed his last breath.

Fan Xiaodao looked suspicious, "Old Xu?"

Zhao Xing reached out to the emperor's neck, and with a little force, he took off a human leather mask. Behind the mask was the face of the old man Xu. Fan Xiaodao was shocked and said, "How could this happen? You knew it a long time ago?"

"

It turns out that the emperor did not come at all for today's holy ceremony.

The person who came to the Temple of Heaven was just his substitute, named Lao Xu.

Zhao Xing sighed, "I was a little skeptical at first. I just thought the smell on him was familiar. It wasn't until just now that I was sure it was him."

Fan Xiaodao and Lao Xu have known each other for more than two years and are relatively good friends. They have helped him a lot in the past two years. I remembered that not long ago, Lao Xu was telling them that the highest state of the art of disguise is that the form and spirit are similar and lifelike.

, enough to confuse the fake with the real, and it turns out that he himself is the emperor's stand-in.

It was just hidden from the world, but not from Zhao Xing's nose.

A teammate who fought side by side died in front of the two of them.

Fan Xiaodao's face was filled with sadness.
