Repugnant Gateway Chapter 274

An Zeng, Du slender, Qu Liuxi, Gu Qianye, and four other youths in their sixties rushed towards the Magnificent Embroidery Palace.

No matter what, there was a feeling of a youth rus.h.i.+ng to the devil cave to slaughter dragons and save people. If the brocade palace was truly a devil's den and Empress Dowager Su really was an evil dragon, then the story would definitely spread and be praised.

But this was not a fairy tale, it was a desperate struggle.

Perhaps there is some people who do not understand why the dispute does not properly become a wealthy family, why must be involved in such a struggle.

The reason was simple. Revenge meant that the enemy would lose everything.

Although Su Qing was warm, and Zhuge Liuyun hated her, that didn't mean that he liked Mu Changyan and the fights between the imperial court and the imperial court.

On the contrary, An Zaiyan didn't like Mu Changyan and didn't like Mu Changyan, even if Mu Changyan wasn't a bad person.

As for the fight in the imperial court, if he liked this, then his opponent would die miserably. There would not be the fierce battle in the Cang Man Mountain, and there would not be anyone he thought was his brother stabbing him in the back.

The method of settling disputes was straightforward. Whether you liked it or not, you didn't like it.

He would not compromise with people or things he hated, so he was destined never to be a qualified politician.

But if one's position was important, it would affect the entire world.

He would develop his likes and erase those he didn't like.

So whether a politician or an avenger, what Anjou doesn't like is the ugliest thing in the world.

The four of them moved through the darkness, gradually approaching the embroidered palace.

Someone said that he would not trip over the same stone twice.

Therefore, An Zaixin decided to enter Heavenly Temple. He had taken Mu Changyan away from Heavenly Temple, which had caused the brocade palace to become pa.s.sive.

But it was luck, not strategy.

If the tussle had been a calculating man, he might have started off with a game of smokes.

After leaving the Celestial Sect, they quickly traversed at least two li. Even though the Celestial Sect of Wonders was in full swing during the day, the vast majority of the capital's citizens were still sleeping comfortably tonight.

The citizens would worry about the future of Great Yan, but in the eyes of most people, his future wasn't as important as eating tonight.

As soon as the fight began, Du was thin in the back, and the two girls were in the middle.

At the exit of an alley, An Zui leaned out to take a look.

From time to time, the Imperial Cavalry patrolled the streets, and the sound of their hooves was followed by a chilling silence.

The City Defense Army's cavalry was mostly in the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect, and although their numbers were small, they were incomparably elite.

The vast majority of the city defense army did not dare to partic.i.p.ate in this battle that involved the regime change. They chose to silently give up. Of course, they would not accept the orders of the brocade palace to attack the Heavenly Ascension Sect.

Perhaps they think this surrender is safe, but it is not.

If the brocade palace wins in the end, then the soldiers who gave up their choice of city defense army will be cleared.

If, in the end, they won the war, there would be no liquidation. But Chen wrote a letter for the military, and the city defense army would never be used again.

The reality was that even bystanders would not have a good ending.

At this point, only the Imperial Guards of the capital were able to patrol the streets. As for the bailiffs of the Fang family … it was said that most of them had already taken off their official uniforms and went into hiding.

In this chaotic world, a person's life was light and lowly. If others were not heavy, how could he not be heavy?

At that moment, An Zeng saw five people dressed in black quickly moving towards the eastern city.

They didn't deliberately hide themselves. Their speed was extraordinarily fast, but no matter how one looked at it, it seemed especially strange.

An Zaihe couldn't help but think of the strange Feng Xiugui from before, and he couldn't help but pay more attention to him.

The five of them walked with big strides. They were practically flying.

To be more accurate, they were flying with a bounce. Their legs and knees didn't bend when they walked, which was why they looked so strange.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard from afar, and at least twenty cavalrymen could vaguely see those men. The leader of the Imperial Guards immediately shouted, ""Who are they?!""

It was already so late, and in this situation, who would be strolling on the streets like a normal person?

More than twenty cavalrymen galloped over, blocking the five people in front of them.

The leader of the Imperial Guards raised their torches to take a light. ""What are you doing?""

Didn't you know about the curfew tonight? ""

Actually, these Imperial Guards were not willing to be nosy at a time like this.

This was because they knew very well that those who dared to come out during the curfew were most likely not people they could deal with.

Regardless of whether they were from the brocade palace or the Heavenly Awakening Sect, encountering him was not something they could afford to provoke.

Therefore, when he led his men to charge over, he regretted it. Thus, he only wanted to ask a few simple questions to avoid embarra.s.sing himself in front of his subordinates.

The moment the light of the torch faded away, the officer of the Imperial Guards turned pale. ""Oh my!""

He cried out and fell off his horse in fright.

As he shouted, the Imperial Guards behind him drew their sabers, not knowing what was going on.

The man in black standing at the front slowly reached out his hands from his sleeves as the Imperial Guard drew their knives.

It was a little farther away, and the night was so dark, that by the light of the torchlight Andersen could only see the man stretch out his hands, and one by one the Imperial Guards fell from their horses.

Before the soldiers fell down, they seemed to have turned into stones, not moving at all. They remained in the posture of riding their horses and fell to the side.

An Xuan frowned slightly. Those five were very strange.

The sky was dark, and most of those people were heading towards the eastern part of the city.

After a moment, the five seemed to look down for a moment, then moved on.

Andersen signaled for Skinny Du and the other three to wait. He went over alone to take a look.

Nothing.

The horses were still there, but all the soldiers who had fallen to the ground had disappeared, replaced by puddles of black water.

Poison?

Thinking of poison, Zhuge Liuyun's name appeared in An Zhe's mind.

No, we can't let these five go to the Heavenly Awakening Sect.

An Zeng chased after the five people. When the others saw An Zaiyue suddenly change his direction, they followed after him.

The five people's bodies were stiff and their knees couldn't bend, but their speed was surprisingly fast.

Only after three hundred meters did An Zhe manage to catch up.

The five of them suddenly stopped, as if they had heard the commotion.

It was as if the carriage that was moving forward had suddenly stopped on the ground.

There was no buffer, no inertia, and the ground beneath their feet cracked under their feet.

The five of them seemed to be turning around very slowly but neatly. At this moment, the clouds in the sky just happened to float away as the moonlight scattered down.

When An Zui saw the faces of the five people, his heart clenched.

No face.

To be exact, he couldn't see his face at all.

Their faces were covered with white bandages, which were tightly wrapped around each other. Even the outline of their facial features could not be seen. Their entire face was an oval shape.

No nose, mouth, eyes, ears, nothing.

It was a ball wrapped in bandages, undisturbed.

However, An Zhe didn't know why, but he seemed to have seen the vicious glares of those five people.

Their eyes had clearly been wrapped up as well, but they were still staring at their own illusions.

The five of them turned around at the same time, their movements almost identical.

The three of them followed from behind and were shocked to see the five of them.

Skinny Du: ""F * ck, what the h.e.l.l is this!""

The five men in black stood there, the ones behind floating up and standing in a row with the one in front.

He noticed that their hands, too, were wrapped in bandages, and their five fingers were especially long.

""A cultivator.""

The word 'mouth' was squeezed out from the mouth of one of the men in black. The voice was unpleasant to the ears, causing gooseb.u.mps to appear all over his body.

An Zhe discovered that there were words embroidered on the chests of these five people in black. They were red, and each of them were from the ground to the earth.

""Kill him, and carry out a mission.""

After saying that, he leaned back and the other four men in black started to float forward.

An Zeng noticed that their feet were off the ground and had no shoes. The soles of their feet were wrapped in white bandages. When they were slow, they were floating, and when they were fast, they were bouncing.

The four men in black stretched out their hands at the same time. Their hands were facing each other, and suddenly, a stream of black Qi shot out from their palms.

An Zhan waved his hand, ""Poison mist!""

The palm wind swept across like a hurricane.

However, the poisonous mist seemed to have materialized and continued to shoot straight at him.

An Zhan dodged to the side, and the poisonous gas shot out like a sharp arrow.

A hundred years old tree was. .h.i.t by the poisonous gas. A moment later, a hole was left where it was. .h.i.t. Then, the tree decayed at a terrifying speed and soon collapsed, turning into a puddle of black water after landing.

""Follow the meridian.""

Qu Liuxi shouted from behind, ""Be careful, these poisonous gas are very strange. It doesn't matter if it's a tree or a person, as long as they have meridians, they can instantly circulate their entire body.""

The black-clothed person with the number two embroidered on his chest said with a hoa.r.s.e voice, ""Cultivator, your reaction speed is fast. Your strength is predicted to be in the Xumi realm and you can adjust your killing level.""

After he finished speaking, the other four men in black spat out a long and sharp iron stick from their palms.

That iron rod was not worn anywhere, but it was slowly spat out from their bodies.

Although it was very late in the night and the moonlight wasn't particularly bright, Qu Liuxi was able to tell with a glance, ""Their meridians have been completely changed. That thing that looks like an iron rod is actually a part of their flesh.""

I can't tell if it's a bone or a blood vessel, or just a muscle, but it has the same aura as their own! ""

An Zhan said, ""All of you move back, I'll deal with it. Xiao Liu`er, come here and take a look at their flaws.""

""These few people are obviously heading towards the Tian Qi Sect. We have to stop them first.""

Qu Liuxi grunted, ""Be careful, it seems like they've been completely changed by some special method. Their bodies have already become the same thing, without internal organs, even their facial features don't need to be changed.""

They might have been judged by their senses, and since their bodies had changed, it meant that they were very difficult to kill.

And be careful not to get smeared with their blood or anything. ""

An Zaiyue stretched his arms, ""People aren't afraid, are they afraid of ghosts?""

He dashed forward, the Ice Soul Dagger in his hand glowing with a brilliant light.

Number Two threw his hands behind his back, and his body floated forward to meet Anjou.

They were all dressed in black with large sleeves and white bandages wrapped around their bodies. They looked extremely terrifying.

Four people, eight strong men.

An Zeng was unable to get close to Qu Liuxi and the others, so he quickly found himself in a difficult situation. He took some time to turn around and look at Qu Liuxi and the others, only to see the three of them standing in a line, holding their hands, nervously cheering for him."
