The master said not to judge people by their appearance

The words fell, and everyone was shocked.

Xie Yunlan was not particularly surprised, he also had a faint feeling, he frowned and said, "Is there any way to break the situation?"

The formation has closed the city gate, there are demon troops guarding the formation eyes in Weiyang Palace, and monsters are constantly being born outside the palace. This situation is so bad that people feel helpless, but Xie Yunlan thinks that Shen Fan should have a way of.

But Shen Fan said at this moment: "There is no way."

"No way?" Xie Yunlan was taken aback, "Didn't you come here specially for the demon? Why can't you deal with it?"

"The heart demon must have used other methods to enhance its strength in the past six months. It is much stronger than I expected, and I..." Shen Fan looked down at the huge magic pressure covering the capital in his palm. With the flames getting weaker and weaker, the short duel just now has actually been decided.

"The formation sends out the demonic energy, which gives birth to the demon fetus, and the demon fetus uses killing to produce the nourishment needed by the demon, and then gathers it into the monster dragon's body to help it transform into a dragon. After tonight, the capital will become a dead city. No one can escape." Shen Fan sighed, as if lamenting the life and death of these hundreds of thousands of people, or lamenting something else.

He looked at the dark cloud-covered sky and murmured, "Maybe this is destiny..."

The people around were all disappointed when they heard the words, they were just mortals, they knew very little about these monsters, Shen Fan, the only one with some magical powers, said so, and it was already a dead end.

Some people slumped on the ground in shock, some people cried mournfully, even the two noble and dignified His Royal Highnesses staggered for a moment, so what about the prince and grandson, in front of monsters, they can just be crushed at will Dead ants.

No one can be indifferent to life and death, and neither can Xie Yunlan, but after a brief gaffe, he suddenly said: "You say this is destiny?"

Shen Fan looked at him.

"Even if it's destiny, then I don't accept fate!" Xie Yunlan paused every word.He is a mortal, and his tone actually reveals the arrogance of challenging the destiny.

He suddenly turned around, knelt down on one knee facing Yuan Lang, and called out, "Your Highness!"

Yuan Lang was stunned.

"Your Majesty was impersonated by a monster and has disappeared. Please take charge of the central Beijing affairs on your behalf, and temporarily hand over the dispatch authority of the troops and horses in the central capital to my minister!" Xie Yunlan saluted solemnly.

Yuan Lang seemed to want to say something when he heard "Your Majesty was pretended to be missing by a monster", but he didn't say anything because there were too many people at the moment. He agreed: "From now on, all soldiers and horses in Beijing will obey Xuanwuhou sent!"

He gave Xie Yunlan his pocket badge as a token.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xie Yunlan took the badge, turned around and left.

He tightened the reins of the Dawan horse, turned over and sat on the horse's back, and shouted: "Mu Qingyun!"

Mu Qingyun hadn't recovered from the news that he was destined to die tonight, startled by the shout, subconsciously raised his head.

"Take half of the troops and come with me to rescue the people in the city!" Xie Yunlan ordered.

Mu Qingyun was stunned for a moment: "But..."

"No but!" Xie Yunlan interrupted him directly, he knew what Mu Qingyun wanted to say, since he was doomed to die, what's the difference between saving and not saving.

Maybe there will be no difference in the end, but even if it is dying, Xie Yunlan will make a living.

Mu Qingyun thought of Xie Yuzhen, whether he could live tonight or not, at least before he died, he must be with her. Thinking of this, he also made up his mind, no longer hesitated, and obeyed Xie Yunlan's dispatch to count the troops.

Xie Yunlan looked at Shen Fan again, and said seriously: "Master, the safety of everyone here is up to you."

Shen Fan looked at him with a confused expression, as if he didn't quite understand: "Does it make sense?"

"Yes!" Xie Yunlan replied without hesitation.

He waved his horsewhip and ran towards the dangerous city with the troops that had been counted. He and Mu Qingyun split into two groups, and he handed over most of the soldiers in his hands to Mu Qingyun, who would rescue Xie Yuzhen and others. The people in the city took a small number of cavalry to contact the rest of the troops in the city.

In addition to the Habayashi Army guarding the imperial palace, there are also some scattered government soldiers, servants, guards, and even some thugs raised by some wealthy families. They are all viable forces that can fight in the current siege.It's just that the accident happened too fast tonight, and many people are not aware of the situation at the moment, and they are scattered everywhere. Xie Yunlan wants to unite these people, gather the strength of the whole city, and fight against the demons.

The sound of horseshoes gradually faded away, and the backs of Xie Yunlan and his party also disappeared into the vast night.

Fires were lit up everywhere in the capital, and panic shouts could be faintly heard in the distance. The demon fetuses born one after another were slaughtering without scruple, and the fear and despair that was born rose to the sky with the formation and merged into the sky. The shadow of the monster dragon.

Even if there are no monsters at the city gate where they are, the fear and despair sweeping the capital also affected everyone.

Coupled with Xie Yunlan's departure, although he kept half of the soldiers and horses, but in terms of the feelings in the hearts of everyone, no amount of soldiers and horses is as reassuring as Xie Yunlan. He himself is a sign, and he is fighting against the Yuanrong people The miracle of invincibility on the battlefield.

However, fortunately, Shen Fan stayed behind. The soul fire in his hand was different from the black smoke and unpleasant smell that ignited in the city due to the war. This candle not only drove away monsters, but also gave people a sense of eternal life. The warmth rising from the depths of the soul dispelled the influence of the devilish energy, so everyone barely maintained their composure.

The people found an open space to rest, while the guards patrolled around, and the officials surrounded the two princes to discuss matters.

Even in the current situation, they still divided into two groups, one group gathered around the prince Yuan Lang, and the other group surrounded the second prince Yuan Yi.

Shen Fan didn't belong to any side, he stood alone, looking up at the phantom of the monstrous flood dragon in the sky.

The solidity of this phantom reflected the current situation in Beijing. After Xie Yunlan led his troops out to rescue, the speed of phantom growth seemed to slow down a little, but it was a drop in the bucket after all.

has no meaning?

Shen Fan didn't understand.

"Master." Yuan Lang suddenly walked over alone, "Can I take a step to speak?"

Shen Fan glanced at him and nodded in agreement.

After the two of them walked to a secluded place, Yuan Lang couldn't wait to ask the question he had wanted to ask a long time ago: "Master, is that person in the palace a demon or the emperor?"

"Both." Shen Fan said, "After being possessed by a demon, the power of the host will be used by the demon, and at the same time the power of the demon will be used by the host. They are mutually beneficial and symbiotic."

"That is to say..." Yuan Lang's expression changed slightly, "That's not faked by the demon, the one who wants to sacrifice the lives of the whole city is the demon, and also my father?"

"Yes." Shen Fan affirmed, he didn't understand why Xie Yunlan would lie and say that Emperor Jianwu was faked by a demon, and that the man in the palace was not faked by a demon, and even...

"The inner demon grows attached to people's desires, and what it does largely depends on the host's own desires." Shen Fan said bluntly, "It is not the inner demon who wants to become a dragon, but your emperor."

Yuan Lang's expression became extremely ugly in an instant, Shen Fan didn't understand why Xie Yunlan lied, he understood, and at the same time he also knew the reason why Yuan Shuo did all this.

It couldn't be simpler, what his father wanted was nothing more than two words - longevity.

The king of a country is supposed to love his people like his son, but Yuan Shuo actually wanted to sacrifice the lives of the entire city to fulfill his selfish desire for longevity. Such an absurd thing, how could the royal dignity survive.

Yuan Lang thought it was absurd, but also a little ridiculous. In a sense, his father really loved the people like his own son. Yuan Shuo treated his son no differently from ordinary people, they were sacrifices that could be sacrificed for longevity.

Yuan Lang has always known that there is no brotherhood among the royal family, but until today, he discovered that there is not even a father-son relationship.

When Yuan Lang was laughing at himself, he heard a guard suddenly shouting in front of him: "The monster is coming!"

Yuan Lang was startled, while Shen Fan turned his head to look where the roar came from.

The monsters come smelling people, they come in groups, their lips, teeth and minions are covered with blood, they seem to have just eaten in other places, even though the group of people in front of them are not as weak as ordinary civilians, they are armed with armor. He is a sharp soldier, but in the eyes of the monster, he is just a prey with a little bit of teeth.

They are never afraid of any weapons, and their minions can easily tear apart armor!

The group of monsters rushed towards the crowd, and the crowd scattered like birds and beasts in panic. This revealed Shen Fan who was blocked behind the crowd. He had no iron armor, nor did he have any sharp weapons in his hands. The candlelight, but the monster is more frightening than seeing thousands of troops and horses.

The monsters retreated unconsciously, they did not dare to get close to the fire.

Such a group of people gathered at the gate of the city itself is a very conspicuous target. It will be a matter of time before the monster finds it. Xie Yunlan had already expected it, so he left Shen Fan behind. Even if Shen Fan's soul fire could not kill the monster directly, It can also protect the people.

However, he did not expect the current chaos. It was the first time for these common people to see monsters. These monsters looked so ugly and fierce. The scope is not yet known.

The monsters were very sharp, and they immediately rushed towards the few people who had fallen into the darkness. The minions flashed a cold light in the dark night, blood splashed everywhere, and some people screamed, which once again stimulated the panicked crowd, and the situation became chaotic.

Yuan Lang was supposed to play the role of leading and appeasing everyone. He was a prince, and his name was justified. However, he himself was a little flustered when he saw these monsters, and he had no time to make decisions and command others.

In the chaos, Yuan Yi yelled: "Don't be afraid! There is a master here! Those monsters dare not come over!"

When everyone heard the words and looked over, they realized that those monsters were afraid of the fire. They stopped running around and stayed within the range of the fire.

The monster has no targets to attack, but it is not willing to give up so many prey. The scarlet beast eyes are wandering in the darkness, watching dangerously.

After appeasing everyone, Yuan Yi leaned over and asked, "Master, what should we do now?"

"I don't know." Shen Fan said truthfully.

Yuan Yi: "..."

It was the first time he had dealt with Shen Fan, and he thought that Shen Fan was a master with great powers, but now he saw that the other party was not very reliable.

He thought about it for a while, and decided to stay put. Anyway, those monsters dare not come in. He is not as brave and good at fighting as Xie Yunlan. He took the safest and safest decision.

Everyone responded one after another. Although the crown prince was the person with the highest status, Yuan Yi's performance just now was obviously more convincing than the crown prince's, so some people who did not stand in line at the moment were only looking forward to Yuan Yi's lead.

Yuan Lang didn't have the heart to fight for anything at the moment, what's the point of fighting for these things at this time.

The crowd followed Yuan Yi's command and stayed where they were, closely behind Shen Fan, confronting the monster in the darkness.

They didn't move, and the monsters couldn't find a chance to attack. The scarlet beast eyes narrowed, and a monster suddenly let out a long howl, and after one monster started, the other monsters also raised their heads to the sky and howled one after another, one after another, Like a horn.

Yuan Yi had a bad intuition, he asked: "What are these monsters doing?"

"They are summoning their companions." As soon as Shen Fan finished speaking, similar whistles came from a distance, and monsters from all directions responded.

Yuan Yi's expression changed, if all the monsters in the capital gathered, Shen Fan might not be able to stop them.

Can't stay any longer!

"Back up!" He commanded everyone, "Don't worry, walk slowly and maintain the current formation!"

The monsters pressed on step by step, the crowd retreated, they advanced, everyone was able to maintain order at first, and slowly retreated, but suddenly there was a scream from behind, everyone looked back, there was a monster Around to the rear!

"Don't panic!" Yuan Yi shouted, "Stay closer, they won't dare to come over!"

His shout was very timely, and stopped the crowd who were about to panic and panic again. However, it was very unfortunate that the candle in Shen Fan's hand flickered, and the devilish energy covering the whole city was eroding all the time. Soul fire, it became weaker and weaker.

Although the candle has not been completely extinguished, the flickering at this moment made everyone completely scared, and they didn't care to see whether the candle was extinguished or not. They were filled with only the fear of darkness coming. Ren Yuan Yi No matter how loud they shouted, the formation completely collapsed, the crowd fled around like frightened birds, and the monsters took the opportunity to pounce on them, like wolves into a flock of sheep, and the smell of blood overflowed.

The situation was completely out of control, Yuan Yi simply didn't care about these people anymore, he directed the rest of the guards: "Go this way!"

He didn't know where to go, he just pointed in a random direction, and ran first before talking.

A group of people ran to the east, but more and more monsters heard the news, such a group of prey was obviously more attractive than a single prey, they followed closely behind, although with the support of Shen Fan's soul fire, But that flicker seemed to be just the beginning, the candles were flickering in the darkness, the monsters did not let go of these opportunities, and tried to attack again and again, one after another, some people fell behind and were dragged into the darkness by the monsters biting their throats.

Everyone fled desperately, and the monster chased after him.It may be like what Shen Fan said, destiny is like this, Yuan Yi ran and found that the direction he casually pointed turned out to be a dead end, everyone stopped in front of a dilapidated building, there was no way ahead, and the monster behind Then step by step.

Just when everyone was in despair, they suddenly discovered that those monsters that were supposed to be chasing after them did not come after them, they stopped far away, it was not because of the candle in Shen Fan's hand, the candle was weak now It can't be that far at all.

The monsters looked up at the top, as if they were afraid of something, everyone didn't know, so they followed the monster's line of sight and saw a bronze statue.

The scales and horns are towering, the beard is full of anger, and the bronze dragon head is solemn and majestic, looking down at everyone from a height.

"This is..." Yuan Yi froze for a moment.

Shen Fan looked up at the mottled and dilapidated, but still majestic and tall Candle Dragon Statue, and murmured: "Dragon Temple..."
