Chapter 307. Void Crow Mouth

Chapter 307: 307. Void Crow Mouth

In the relentless pursuit, they quickly traversed more than half of the Capital, leaving countless deep holes created by the Xuanyuan Sword.

Fortunately, it was late at night and a light snow was falling, otherwise, such a commotion would have been noticed.

Li Xian’s speed gradually slowed down. Finally, when she couldn’t dodge the Xuanyuan Sword in time, she leaped out of the shadows and jumped directly onto the rooftop by the roadside.

Fang Zhou had made the right judgment. Although Li Xian’s Ghost Shadow Secret Technique was immune to all damage, it couldn’t last long, and being attacked would shorten its duration.

Along the way, Li Xian had no idea how many times she’d been stabbed by Fang Zhou with the Big Treasure Sword before she finally couldn’t bear it and jumped out.

Seeing Li Xian finally emerge, Fang Zhou directly controlled the Xuanyuan Sword and launched a salvo at her.

"This is too much!!"

Accompanied by a furious shout, Li Xian turned around abruptly in mid-air. Her long hair behind her frantically grew, transforming into a mass of pitch-black lines, like a black curtain, swallowing all the incoming Xuanyuan Swords.

Fang Zhou was taken aback. Could it be that this person’s nickname was actually the Black-haired Witch?

Fifteen Xuanyuan Swords were swallowed by Li Xian in one gulp, and she was almost about to burst, with the spiritual energy inside her being consumed fiercely, her pale face turning crimson.

She controlled all the black lines, fighting desperately against the Xuanyuan Swords, trying to bind them all.

She believed that Fang Zhou, controlling so many Flying Swords simultaneously, would also be very strained. The first one to give in would lose; it was a contest of persistence and foundation.

But the next moment, she saw Fang Zhou, relaxed in demeanor, raise his hand towards her, a ball of flame shooting out from his hand.

The flame grew larger as it met the wind, turning into a massive fireball, which fell into the black curtain Li Xian had created and exploded instantly.

After upgrading, this Big Fireball Skill had gained significant power; the shockwave from the explosion tore through the black curtain directly, and the high-temperature flames ignited the black lines, burning them to ashes instantly.

Li Xian hadn’t expected Fang Zhou to have the luxury of attacking while controlling over a dozen Flying Swords, directly getting blasted away by the Fireball Technique.

Her body flew through the air, almost blasted beyond recognition.

Taking advantage of her last moment of consciousness, she gathered all her spiritual energy into her mouth, wanting to let out a harsh cry to warn General Yaksha.

Dozens of Xuanyuan Swords instantly flew over, stabbing Li Xian into a hedgehog and forcefully pushing her warning back.

[Successfully defeated Black Yaksha]

[Reward: Manliness *4, blue card *1]

As Li Xian’s body fell, a task completion prompt appeared.

Fang Zhou casually drew the rewarded blue card.

[Weakness: Causes the target to fall into a weakened state, reducing all attributes by 20%, duration: 30 minutes, usage: 1]

It turned out to be a one-time Skill Card. Indeed, after drawing the Golden Legend last time, his luck was completely exhausted.

Is my emperor lineage defective, sometimes working and sometimes not?

Fang Zhou reluctantly stored the card, then stepped on the Xuanyuan Sword, slowly flying to the front of Li Xian’s body, reaching out to touch the mask on his face.

Only then did he remember that he was still wearing the mask, no wonder Li Xian was not interested in him, for she couldn’t feel his charm at all.

This made Fang Zhou somewhat guilty, realizing it was his mistake, yet he maliciously guessed Li Xian’s sexual orientation.

Fang Zhou began to dispose of Li Xian’s body so it wouldn’t be discovered here by others.

It might not be long before the True Mother God Sect notices Li Xian’s prolonged absence and deduces that enemies are lurking in the shadows.

But it’s best to keep it hidden for a while; after all, they’re definitely up to something tonight, perhaps they’re starting to flip the tables right now.

Just as this thought emerged in Fang Zhou’s mind, a violent explosion suddenly erupted at a gate of the Capital in the distance, the firelight almost illuminating the clouds, followed by the explosion sound sweeping across the entire city.

Fang Zhou looked astonished. Was he a jinx with a crow’s mouth?

He hadn’t even spoken, just thought about it in his mind, and it really happened.

The explosion seemed like a signal, and a flock of crows suddenly flew from Di Qingying’s residence, rushing towards Fang Zhou’s location.

Fang Zhou hurriedly hid under the eaves by the roadside, holding his breath without making a sound.

Accompanied by the ominous cawing of the crows, the flock swept over Fang Zhou’s head and headed straight for the Imperial Palace.

After the crows passed, Fang Zhou didn’t move, and soon another shadow slipped through the street.

Only after the shadow disappeared did Fang Zhou silently emerge from beneath the eaves.

It was clear that this flock of crows was General Yaksha, and she finally decided to leave her stronghold. That shadow was likely another subordinate, just like Li Xian.

Fang Zhou jumped onto the Xuanyuan Sword and quietly tailed them.

...

Time rewinds again.

After escaping from his own home, Di Ao rushed madly towards Di Qingying’s mansion, followed closely by Lu Yu.

In no time, the two arrived at the door of Di Qingying’s mansion.

The door was tightly shut. Di Ao didn’t bother to knock and directly climbed over the wall beside it.

"Who’s there?"

Just as he flipped over the wall, he was immediately discovered by the patrolling guards.

Di Ao didn’t have time to catch his breath and yelled loudly, "I am Di Ao, I need to see Di Qingying!"

Di Ao’s name was well-known throughout the Capital, leaving the guards aghast, and they dared not handle it privately. They could only summon Di Qingying.

Di Qingying, in her forties, looked like a pampered aristocrat rather than a Great General.

She bore some resemblance to Di Ao in appearance; the two were cousins according to the family tree.

Seeing Di Ao, Di Qingying was somewhat surprised, "Why are you here?"

Di Ao had already calmed down, shedding the frantic visage from earlier. She spoke solemnly, "That guy Qiao Sen found Li Shuxian and sent people to secretly capture me. Fortunately, I escaped."

If an official saw the dialogue between the two, they would surely be greatly shocked.

Because Di Qingying had long severed ties with the Di family and Di Ao, never associating with them, their relationship even publicly deteriorating with conflicts on several occasions.

No one could have guessed it was all a show, and they were covertly working together.

Otherwise, Qiao Sen wouldn’t have been so shocked upon receiving the note from Fang Zhou addressed to Di Qingying.

Di Qingying, a Great General with military power, had protégés throughout the two imperial guards protecting the Capital. If something happened, the consequences would be disastrous.

After hearing Di Ao’s words, Di Qingying’s expression turned grave. She pondered, "We originally planned to act during the third night watch tonight. But given the current situation, we have no choice but to act now. Come with me."

Di Qingying hurriedly led Di Ao to a secluded courtyard within the mansion, where a woman dressed in black leaned against the doorframe, guarding outside.

Upon seeing Di Ao, the black-clothed woman whistled, "Di Ao, what wind blew you here?"

Di Ao was shocked because this black-clothed woman resembled Li Xian in appearance and voice almost exactly.

Her interactions with the True Mother God Sect were limited to Li Xian, and she wasn’t very familiar with other members of the cult.

Di Qingying hastily said, "Lady Li Yan, we have urgent matters and request to see General Yaksha."
