Chapter 147 The First Assassination Failed
Chapter 147 The First Assassination Failed
The fifth planet, the fifth horn tribe, the royal city.
At dawn, a thin mist shrouds the ancient city like a veil. The towering city walls have withstood the test of time, and the mottled bricks are engraved with the vicissitudes of history, telling of the prosperity and decline it has experienced.
Inside the city, the bluestone-paved streets meander like ancient blood vessels connecting the heart of the city.
The rough and simple buildings on both sides are built with huge stones and painted with strange patterns of various colors. From a distance, they have a wild beauty.
The patrolling guards held spears in their hands and wore heavy grey armor that left only a slit visible over their eyes. They walked in step, and the bluestone-paved road surface shook constantly with the sound of their footsteps.
'This is a civilized group after all.'
Zhang Yunlu was walking on the street, wrapped in a large black cloak with a hood covering most of her head, making it difficult to see her face.
There were many people from the Fifth Horn Clan coming and going, but none of them looked at her.
Because rebellions broke out in various places one after another, the security in the city was very strict.
The reason why he was able to sneak in was thanks to the "Purple Qi Concealment Technique".
Zhang Yunlu said in her heart.
She planned to find out the terrain and then launch the assassination.
Along the street, her divine sense slowly expanded and spread silently throughout the city. Wherever her divine sense passed, the layout of the city was memorized in her mind bit by bit.
Although the range of the Foundation Establishment Stage's divine consciousness in the Central Continent is limited, it can completely cover this royal city in the starry sky.
She tried her best to move forward through the less crowded areas of the Fifth Horned Tribe, getting closer and closer to the royal palace in the center.
Soon, her divine sense reached the location of the palace.
The towering palace walls are like a giant dragon, made of hard black rock, covered with sharp gravel and iron nails that flash with cold light.
Countless watchtowers stand on the palace walls, constantly observing what is happening outside the palace.
The heavy bronze door is engraved with ancient runes, exuding a mysterious and majestic atmosphere.
But what was even more troublesome was that inside the palace wall, guards wearing silver armor stood every few steps, holding spears with a faint glow on the tips of the spears. It was obvious that they were not ordinary weapons.
Giant snakes were swimming around, their eyes were blood red, and their silver-grey scales were glowing with a faint purple light.
It was like the giant snake encountered in the brilliant star system before, but it was much smaller.
Biological weapons!
Zhang Yunlu was shocked.
After investigating for so long, we finally got some clues about the biological weapon center!
The divine consciousness was about to extend into the palace, but the moment it touched those giant snakes, the swimming snakes seemed to be stimulated, stood up straight, and roared towards the sky.
Roar!
Although it looks like a snake, it roars like a lion or tiger.
Visible sound waves vibrated.
Zhang Yunlu paused, then quickly withdrew his mind, but it was obviously too late.
As the sound waves vibrated, a polyhedron emitting a strange light rose from the palace. Its surface was not smooth, but composed of countless tiny edges and faces that constantly changed colors.
These edges and faces are like flowing nebulae, and at their core, a constantly rotating colorful vortex like an eyeball can be vaguely seen.
A creation so sophisticated that it seems like it shouldn't exist on this planet.
Biological weapons center!
hum~
A ray of light projected from the polyhedron and locked onto Zhang Yunlu with incredible precision.
The "Purple Air Concealment Technique" seemed to have lost its effect at this moment. The Fifth Class A Horn Clan members around her all discovered her existence. Colorful light flashed in their eyes, and greed instantly filled their hearts.
"Human Race!"
"It's the human race!"
"Catch her!"
"Kill her!"
"Catch her! Dedicate her to the great king, to the great holy clan!"
The entire royal city seemed to be in riot at this moment. All the members of the Fifth Class Horn Tribe, no matter how strong or weak, were driven by greed and rushed towards Zhang Yunlu.
Facing those greedy and ferocious faces, Zhang Yunlu remained expressionless and an ice crystal sword appeared in his hand.
Okay, then kill them!
With a sudden stomp, a powerful true energy poured out, and the whole street seemed to be turned over by a dragon. Countless people from the fifth-class horn tribe fell to the ground and were trampled to death by their crowded companions behind them.
"Kill!" The light shout drowned out the noisy voice.
A cold light flashed, a north wind suddenly arose, and the sword energy rolled up a snow and ice tornado tens of meters high, sweeping the aliens that pounced on it high into the sky.
The houses built with huge stones collapsed with a loud bang, and a large number of foreigners who crowded in were directly wiped out.
"Shuofeng Sword Technique"!
This was the sword technique she borrowed when she first went to the Dharma Teaching Building.
The cold north wind is biting, penetrating the flesh and breaking the bones. This is a sword technique with icy attributes, which focuses on sending the cold into the flesh, freezing the bones and chilling the marrow.
But at this moment, when Zhang Yunlu used it, it was like a north wind sweeping the earth and snow dancing wildly.
As early as when she was in Xuanjian City, she modified the "Liuyun Sword Technique" into a style that better suits her. When she learned swordsmanship, she no longer followed the rules, but took the essence and integrated it into herself.
Chi Jiuyu once said that a sword cultivator must have his own style!
Tornadoes of ice and snow continued to roar and rage, and those members of the Fifth A-Horn Tribe who were besieging them could not get close at all. They could only throw hidden weapons from a distance, or attack with powerful bows and crossbows.
However, they were all blocked by the wind wall that rose up around Zhang Yunlu.
At the same time, her figure was like a flash of lightning, rushing straight towards the palace.
The true energy in the body was consumed rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, one-fifth of it was gone.
But the effect was also extremely significant. Those members of the Fifth Class Horned Tribe who blocked the road would die if touched, and would be injured if touched.
The blood and the north wind interweave like a sad and beautiful opera.
Just when Zhang Yunlu was about to rush to the palace.
hum~
The polyhedron emitting strange light suddenly emitted a ray of light and headed straight towards Zhang Yunlu.
The terrifying high temperature caused the air to distort slightly.
Zhang Yunlu's pupils suddenly shrank and he dodged sideways.
call out!
Along with the light came an arrow as powerful as wind and thunder.
She dodged the light, but was unable to dodge the arrow that followed. The arrow pierced her left arm, and the force from it pushed her back a long distance.
At this time, the surrounding Fifth Horned Tribe also found a large net made of metal threads and covered her head with it.
Zhang Yunlu swung his sword and cut it off.
shhhhh!
There were a few more arrows in the sky.
Ding Ding!
With two slight sounds, Zhang Yunlu, who was on guard, swung his sword to block the flying arrow. At the same time, he slashed out a sword energy to blow away the purple-black poisonous gas sprayed by the fifth-armored tribe.
Iron nets, poison gas, arrows, and rays of light.
Under this series of continuous attacks, one third of the true energy in her body was quickly gone.
'No, we have to retreat first!'
Even if the principle of danger is increased, it will be a waste of effort if it continues like this.
After rushing into the palace, they still have to face the alien king and the giant snake, a biological weapon.
Having made up his mind, Zhang Yunlu turned around without hesitation and rushed out of the royal city.
…………
"Tsk tsk tsk! Xiao Yunlu is too reckless." On the starship, Chi Jiuyu was holding a bowl of steaming instant noodles and looking at the projected image, "As expected of a swordsman who has realized the principle of courting death."
Intelligent creatures working together are not comparable to the mindless monsters during the trial.
"But he was still decisive. He retreated without hesitation when he knew he couldn't accomplish it."
If she had realized it later, and once the restriction formation of those alien races was activated, it would not have been so easy for her to escape.
Chi Jiuyu sipped a mouthful of noodles, then picked up the braised egg in the noodle soup and took a bite. His cheeks were puffed up like a hamster.
His eyes were still fixed on Zhang Yunlu who was fleeing from the screen.
After this lesson, Xiao Yunlu should have realized the problem.
It seems that I need to speed up the progress on my side!
