Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 191 Hostage Exchange (Part )

The blade just about hit Min Yuanxiu's forehead when it suddenly stopped.

Lu Maoxiu tried hard to chop down but failed. He looked over and saw that the knife was held by a hand.

At some point, a person appeared in front of them.

This man appeared out of nowhere, his white robe fluttering in the wind, with a little ice and snow on it.

But there was no snow in Taoling Mountain.

Gu Beiming's eyes narrowed, and he murmured, "Shen Jichi?"

Shen Jichi was holding a wine glass in one hand and holding the blade with only two fingers in the other hand, as calmly as if he was holding a chess piece.

"Do not."

Gu Beiming quickly shook his head and murmured, "You didn't come, this is... Shadow?"

Looking closely, Shen Jichi standing there did seem unreal, and his skin seemed vaguely transparent.

“I haven’t come yet, but I’m here.”

Shen Jichi smiled slightly and drank the wine in the glass.

Soon, his glass was full again, and I didn't know who was pouring the wine for him.

Perhaps, the person who poured the wine did not come, but was waiting behind Shen Jichi, who was enjoying the snow and drinking, in a place where it was snowing lightly.

"Shadows can travel a hundred miles." Gu Beiming couldn't help but sound envious. "You finally succeeded. How many people in Haishi have you killed?"

"I have made some progress." Shen Jichi said, "You have also made considerable progress in recent years."

He bent the knife with his fingers and broke it.

Lu Maoxiu's expression changed drastically. He dropped his knife, picked up the command flag and pointed it at Shen Jichi. The next moment, he was knocked away by Shen Jichi's palm. He wanted to get up and fight desperately, but Gu Beiming had already shouted.

"Forget it. Since you are here, I will just surrender."

"Don't worry, you and I have lived and died together for many years, I will not take your life." Shen Jichi said: "Follow me to defend yourself in front of His Majesty."

"it is good."

Gu Beiming allowed the Kaiping Division's hooks to rush over, tie him up, and bring him in front of Shen Jichi.

As the two of them got closer, he suddenly lowered his voice and said something.

"Your daughter has been found."

Shen Jichi's eyes showed surprise. He did not express his opinion immediately, but looked towards the west in the direction of Yong State.

"Let's go."

At the foot of the mountain, the Xiaoyi Army had already arrived and was engaged in a battle with the Rui Army, but it was obvious that they could not save Hui Beiming.

In the sky, Gu Jingnian was completely surrounded by the men in black who suddenly appeared in the air. He kept throwing out fireballs and rushing left and right, but he could not get out.

However, the nets held by the men in black formed an increasingly tight encirclement.

Gu Jingnian was originally afraid of Min Yuanxiu's roar, so he flew very high. But now he saw that there was no way to escape, so he suddenly dived down.

He seemed to have lost the ability to fly and fell rapidly, as if he was about to crash into Taoling Mountain.

The men in black then descended, and the large net in their hands covered them.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Gu Jingnian swung out fireballs one after another while falling, igniting the trees on Taoling Mountain and causing a huge fire to shoot up into the sky.

The men in black were afraid of the fire below, so they had to stop and stand in the air.

Gu Jingnian continued to rush into the fire.

But although he was not afraid of the burning flames, he still carried Gu Caiwei, her daughter and Xing'er in his arms.

"what!"

Xing'er screamed in fright.

However, when Gu Jingnian's footsteps landed on the ground, the surrounding flames did not rush towards them, but instead actively avoided them.

He stood there, let go of the person in his arms, and spread out his hands, as if he was pushing away the flames on both sides. He closed his eyes, frowned deeply, and his expression showed pain, but he actually succeeded.

Ever since he discovered that Bai Ji was able to practice controlling water, Gu Jingnian has been learning to control fire.

At first, he could only feel the tiny fire in the air, and gradually, he was able to "twist" them. It was difficult, but in today's critical situation, he gave it a try with the will of "never let Sister get hurt", and finally made great progress.

The flames were pushed away by him and flowed towards the flaming wings behind him.

The flaming wings rose up into the sky, a spectacular sight that forced the man in black in the air to retreat.

"Sir." Xing'er said in surprise, "You are so amazing!"

"Walk."

Gu Jingnian was about to take them away when the injured Min Yuanxiu stood up and shouted in his direction.

"Go away!"

Gu Jingnian suddenly felt a buzzing in his head, as if it was about to explode.

He tried hard to calm himself, turned around, and the huge flaming wings rushed towards Min Yuanxiu like two giant dragons.

He couldn't count how many Kaipingsi hooks were rushing towards him, and when they were swept by the fire wings, he fell to the ground and rolled over, screaming.

Compared to when he was a child, Gu Jingnian is now very strong and can protect his elder sister.

"break!"

Seeing the flaming wings sweeping over, Min Yuanxiu remained fearless and shouted again.

Gu Jingnian vomited a large mouthful of blood, looked depressed, and fell to the ground. His fire wings also drooped weakly, failing to sweep over Min Yuanxiu. "Let's go."

Gu Caiwei held the swaddling baby in one hand and held Gu Jingnian with the other, trying to drag him away from Min Yuanxiu.

The child in her arms burst into tears.

Hearing the crying, Gu Jingnian forced himself to cheer up and prepared to take Gu Caiwei away.

The next moment, a figure came with the wind and landed beside Gu Caiwei.

"puff."

A sword thrust out, piercing Gu Caiwei and Gu Jingnian.

Jian Li, a tall and thin man with messy hair, stood there with an indifferent expression, showing no regret at all for killing the women and children.

Gu Caiwei was stunned.

She turned her head and saw a bloodstain on Xing'er's throat, with blood oozing out.

She turned her gaze back to Jian Li, puzzlement in her eyes, and opened her mouth, wanting to ask, "Why?"

Jian Li didn't give her a chance, he drew his sword and stabbed again.

"puff."

Just after he killed Gu Caiwei, a gust of strong wind arrived in front of Jian Li. It was the wings from Gu Jingnian's back that swooped down on him. He immediately stepped back and fled.

"Sister?!"

Gu Jingnian was still in shock. Seeing the swaddling clothes fall from Gu Caiwei's arms, he quickly caught it.

The baby in the cradle cried even louder.

When he looked up again, Gu Jingnian saw Jian Li floating away like a leaf in the wind.

"Death!"

Fireballs kept hitting the area, turning the entire forest into scorched earth.

The two huge flaming wings slashed like knives.

Half of Taoling Mountain turned into a sea of fire, with red flames rising into the sky.

However, despite such an attack, Jian Li was not dead yet.

When Gu Jingnian turned around, he saw that he had suddenly appeared behind Min Yuanxiu.

"break!"

Min Yuanxiu roared again.

Gu Jingnian was shocked by the roar and bled from all his seven orifices and almost fainted.

But a strong anger supported him.

"die!"

He roared, and his flaming wings swept across, burning all the soldiers who tried to protect Min Yuanxiu to charcoal. Min Yuanxiu fell to the ground injured, with burns all over his body, and one soldier after another threw himself on him to protect him.

So more Rui troops came up. But the fire had already started all over the mountain, and there were few people who could restrain Gu Jingnian in the fire. He killed gods and Buddhas whenever he met one, and corpses were everywhere on Taoling Mountain.

Jian Li was not dead yet. His body movements were extremely light and he floated even farther away.

Gu Jingnian then spread his wings and flew up to catch up with Jian Li.

The two men, one chasing and the other fleeing, gradually approached Taoling City.

Outside the city, the Swedish army had assembled and formed a huge square formation outside the city, the reflection of their armor shimmering like a river.

Jian Li flew through the army formation, and Gu Jingnian chased him and threw a fireball at him, knocking down the surrounding soldiers.

"Fire arrows!"

Lou Mingda galloped on his horse, raised the long sword in his hand and pointed it at Gu Jingnian in the air. Arrows shot out from behind him like locusts, but failed to shoot Gu Jingnian down.

Gu Jingnian was not afraid of the arrows, but he was still holding the child in his arms, so he flew higher to avoid the height where the arrows could reach.

When he looked down at the huge army formation again, Jian Li was no longer visible.

His anger had not yet extinguished, so the fireballs continued to hit the army.

In an instant, people and horses were thrown to the ground and blood flowed like a river under the city of Taoling.

"It's terrible. It's really terrible."

Lou Mingda tried his best to hold the frightened warhorse and kept sending people to urge Kaiping Division to send out extraordinary people to control the situation.

However, he didn't understand why Kaiping Division wanted to provoke Gu Jingnian, since it was obvious that Gu Jingnian had burned down the capital before as a precedent.

"Quick, push out the giant crossbow, I'm going to shoot..."

"boom!"

A fireball hit Lou Mingda and instantly ignited his body.

He rolled over and howled, and around him was a scene of hell on earth.

Gu Jingnian was killing people in anger, and he didn't know how many Rui soldiers he had killed. Until one moment, he saw someone kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to him.

It was a small figure. When he looked up, he saw that it was the little soldier that Gu Jingnian met that night. He was only fourteen years old and was dragged to the battlefield.

Gu Jingnian changed his fate once, and today he stopped because of him, which was the second time he changed his fate.

But Gu Jingnian could not change the fate of the countless victims under his feet.

They didn't even know that Song Jian, who was thousands of miles away, deliberately asked Gu Jingnian to kill so many people in order to send the child to him.
