Chapter 106 Rebellion (4)
Chapter 106 Rebellion (4)
At the foot of Tianmen Peak, the crimson mosses are endless, burning like fire.
In the drizzle, a young man stepped into this place from the depths of night.
His figure was erratic, his aura was almost nonexistent, and he was as ethereal as a ghost. He did not disturb anyone, even though he broke through the guard circle at the foot of the mountain.
The sword guard lurking at the foot of the mountain suddenly raised his head and watched helplessly as the raindrops fell in front of his eyes, and then evaporated into a white steam in mid-air.
"What is this?!" one person said in shock.
"Senior Brother He, what's wrong?"
"Look at the rain...eh?"
"But what unusual movement was discovered?"
"No, no. I should be dazzled. Junior Brother Zhou, do you feel any strange breath coming in?"
"No."
"That's good. Let's all work hard to guard the forbidden area during the competition. The hospital master suddenly sent more people to Tianmen Peak, there must be deep meaning. We must not be careless and spoil the hospital master's plan."
The sword guard named He sighed and looked towards the cave on the mountainside that looked like a honeycomb.
The dark clouds moved away, revealing a cold moon.
The cool moonlight shone down on the mountainside, faintly illuminating a ring of bright sword light, which was the scimitar guard belonging to the sect leader Shen Jue.
Tianyuan Daozong's governance approach has always emphasized a balance.
The Academy, the Kendo Academy, the Xiuwen Academy, the Presbyterian Church, and the Disciple Association all check and balance each other. Although the sect leader has the power to make decisions, his subordinates have no private soldiers.
This is to prevent the suzerain from becoming too powerful and causing the Tianyuan Dao Sect to become the sole authority of the suzerain.
However, since Shen Jue took over as the sect leader, he has secretly used the Presbyterian Church as a cover to raise private soldiers.
This scimitar guard is one of the most elite guards under his command.
This time they all came out to Tianmen Peak to protect Qin Huaichu, which was a hint of his intention to show favor to the master of Zhenlong Pavilion and Mrs. Zhuiya.
The ten-sect competition is coming to an end. The Tianyuan Dao Sect has achieved remarkable results and is so impressive that Shen Jue wants to take this opportunity to establish himself as the leader of his sect in one fell swoop.
Therefore, it is in line with his original intention to win over more supporters before the end.
As for the sacrifices and grievances of his family and his faction, they have nothing to do with his interests and he doesn't take them seriously at all.
Most of the guards below the mountainside were dispatched from Xiuwen Academy. Xue Ning was very familiar with the action style and defense arrangement of Xiuwen Academy's sword guards. He passed through the layers of blockades with almost no effort and rushed all the way to the mountainside. Finally, he encountered A real hindrance.
As soon as Xue Ning stepped into the mountainside, a faint ringing of bells began to ring.
The scimitar guard guarding the intersection on the west side pulled out his saber, a faint blue aura glowed on the sword, and slashed towards the source of the ringing sound.
The force of the knife was so fierce that it almost had the power to crack mountains and crack rocks. The shadow of the knife was as fine as rain, sealing off all escape routes around the young man.
boom -
Most of the mountain road collapsed, and mud and rocks mixed with rain rolled down.
"Follow!"
The leader of the guard shouted lowly, and the scimitar guards followed them to the cave-in with good training. They looked down the mountain, but saw mist and rain, darkness, and no one.
The demon-conquering bells placed around the mountainside are specially designed to detect demonic energy.
If there were no demonic cultivators to attack, the demon-conquering bell would not be able to ring.
The young guard commander suddenly felt a chill in his heart and was about to call his men to retreat.
"retreat--"
His voice suddenly stopped and turned into a howl of pain: "Ah!"
Thousands of golden sword balls suddenly shot out from the soft soil, piercing through the right arms of the sword guards from bottom to top.
A stream of blood spurted out, and screams of pain came and went. All the sword guards lowered their arms, and their scimitars fell to the ground with a clang.
The sword pill streaked across the wilderness like a meteor, turned in mid-air, and roared towards the cave on the mountainside.
"I was fooled, chase—"
The guard captain covered his bleeding arm and chased desperately in the direction where Jianwan flew away.
Halfway through the chase, I suddenly saw a thin silver line shining in front of me, with thin drops of rain and dew condensed on the line.
An extremely huge spider web blocked the way up the mountain.
Several sword guards were unable to retreat in time and bumped into him.
In an instant, a thin stream of blue electric light flowed rapidly along the spider web.
Several sword guards were stuck by the electric current, and the lightning flashed around their bodies. Their bodies twitched, their limbs spasmed, and they foamed at the mouth.
Anyone who dares to step forward to rescue will be instantly hit by an electric current that is so powerful that if he touches his companion's body, he will be killed.
When the dozen or so unlucky Scimitar Guards were all electrocuted to death and turned into charred corpses and fell to the ground, the lightning on the spider webs "crackled" a few times, and they retreated.
Xue Ning followed suit and lured the sword guards down the mountain from the four entrances, either seriously injuring them or killing their leaders as a deterrent, and then used a spider silk net to seal the only way they had to go up the mountain to delay time.
When he finally passed the fifth level, General Zhanliu entered the cliff cave and was already seriously injured.
The stone path outside the cliff cave is dug close to the cliff wall. It is narrow and long and can only be passed by one person.
If he accidentally falls to the bottom of the cliff, what awaits him is the sword formation that is about to explode in the sword tomb.
Xue Ning tore off the hem of his inner garment and wrapped it around his bleeding abdomen. He then spit out spider silk and wrapped the wound tightly layer by layer.
He clung to the wet stone wall and coughed out a mouthful of blood foam. He took out Qin Huaichu's common things that he had stolen from Zhuiya and brought them to his nose to sniff.
Everyone has their own unique flavor.
The demon clan with keen senses can distinguish the coming people by their smell without using their eyes.
For a half-demon like Xue Ning who is unique in identifying breath, tracking by breath is almost an innate instinct.
Xue Ning clenched Qin Huaichu's clothes tightly, remembering the breath on the fabric deeply in her heart.
At this point, Qin Huaichu's aura was already looming.
Xue Ning wrapped up the wound and moved forward along the stone path. He suddenly struck the guard at the cave entrance with a sword hilt on the back of his head, knocked him unconscious, tied him with spider silk, and jumped into the cave.
The road in the cave is winding and winding, making it difficult to tell the direction.
Without any distractions, the young man followed the enemy's scent.
After passing through countless cliff holes, wind and rain suddenly hit, and then there was a "click", and a flickering candle lighted up, illuminating Qin Huaichu's face as pale as a ghost.
Qin Huaichu was holding an oil lamp and huddled in his wheelchair. He seemed to have suddenly aged by dozens of years. There were even a few strands of gray hair on his temples. His whole person was terribly vicissitudes of life.
Not far behind him was the entrance of the cliff cave.
The disciple guarding the cave was killed by unknown means. His body was torn into pieces and there was blood all over the ground.
The barrier sealing the cave was also broken by him.
He raised his hand slightly and used the dim light of the oil lamp to illuminate the young man's frosty brows.
"Hahaha..." Qin Huaichu chuckled lowly, with a fanatical light in his eyes, "I knew you would definitely find this place!"
"Even if I don't come to you, you will definitely come to me."
Xue Ning's chest was filled with murderous intent, and thousands of tragic ways of death flashed through his mind in an instant.
Qin Huaichu said: "If I can't kill Pingxiu, I'll kill you and make that bitch sad for a lifetime. It's a good deal..."
The sword light lit up and headed straight for the chattering young man.
As his body moves with the sword, the young man's robes flutter and he moves forward with determination.
Snap - stepped into a pool of blood.
An unknown intuition quietly came to Xue Ning's heart.
Qin Huaichu hit the armrest of the wheelchair with his palm, and he and the wheelchair quickly slid out towards the entrance of the cave. He rushed out of the stone platform at the entrance and fell down like a kite with its string broken.
He actually tried his best to trigger the sword formation at the bottom of the cliff. As long as Xue Ning dares to catch up, he will drag him to be buried with him!
"Aren't you going to kill me? Come on -"
Qin Huaichu laughed wildly, using his full energy, and his voice spread throughout the cave on the mountainside, arousing echoes.
Without even thinking about it, Xue Ning shot out a bunch of spider silk from his palm and wrapped it around the rock in the cave. He flew up, kicked hard on the stone wall, and fell to the bottom of the cliff almost at the same time as Qin Huaichu.
The flying swords were drawn into sword pills and followed around, shining brightly and dazzlingly.
The strong wind below the cliff was like a knife, causing the two of them to sway back and forth in mid-air like a piece of fluttering paper.
The distance between the two people quickly closed, the sword array at the bottom of the cliff was triggered, and thousands of flying swords buzzed.
Xue Ning stretched out his hand to strangle Qin Huaichu's neck. He concentrated his real power on his palm and shattered the meridians and bones below Qin Huaichu's neck with one palm.
Qin Huaichu let out an inhuman scream, and his body seemed to turn into a tattered sack, hanging down limply.
With tears streaming down his face, he cried and laughed, and said bitterly: "Come on! Let's die together!"
As soon as the words fell, the sound of whooshing through the sky sounded, like fireworks in full bloom, the dark bottom of the cliff was filled with spiritual lights, and thousands of swords fired in unison!
The splendid sword light was thousands of feet below, and it was already approaching in the next moment.
Xue Ning held on to the half-dead Qin Huaichu tightly, and cleverly used the power of spider silk to move like a swallow, faster than lightning, and nimbly shuttled between thousands of flying swords.
The flying sword collided with the sword pill floating around him, and sparks flew out. Every confrontation caused the blood in his chest to surge.
It was difficult for him alone to escape from the sword formation, let alone a half-dead burden on his hand.
If Qin Huaichu was thrown away like this, he would definitely die.
But just to fulfill his wish and let him die like this, Xue Ning would never accept it!
He wanted the man named Qin to experience all the suffering before he died, so that he would regret his murderous intention towards Xiuxiu!
Qin Huaichu's body was dangling in the young man's hands like a rag. Suddenly a sword light flashed through and his legs were cut off at the knee level.
But his bones, muscles and veins were all severed and he could no longer feel any more pain.
"Xue Ning, if you kill me today, I will only be a lost dog hiding in a smelly ditch in the future! Haha, come on! Come on!"
Xue Ning pursed her lips tightly, and activated all her spiritual power to the extreme, forcing her way out of the dense sword formation.
He flew around the mountain and hid behind Tianmen Peak.
The flying sword chased endlessly and penetrated the mountain with a bang, turning the entire Tianmen Peak into a sieve.
For a moment, it seemed as if the world was collapsing and rocks were rolling down like rain.
Xue Ning gasped for breath, and regardless of the blood all over his body, he threw Qin Huaichu to the ground and crushed his face with his foot.
The young man stood with his sword in hand, and a cluster of gold-like fireworks ignited in his palm.
He held the flame close to Qin Huaichu's eyeballs and said solemnly: "I will not die with you, I will only make your life worse than death."
The loud noise from Tianmen Peak alarmed the [-] peaks of Tianyuan Dao Sect.
Tianyuan Dao Sect took the lead in sending a large number of people to come here, and other sects also sent people to spy.
The cold dawn fell on the horizon, and the sky finally dawned.
When Shen Jue walked into the venue, the other factions were already sparsely seated at the table.
He was unusually distraught.
This time he made a mistake. He underestimated the traitor's ability and desire to die.
He didn't expect that the traitor, who usually looked cold and cold, actually had a love-struck temperament.
He actually didn't care, risked his life and future, and wanted to avenge the little girl from the Feng family at all costs.
Shen Jue was always good at protecting himself wisely and sizing up the situation. He couldn't understand what kind of emotion this was. He sneered, feeling that the young man's move was extremely stupid.
The voice of Zhong Lu sounded loudly, and the final round of the arena competition began.
A commotion suddenly broke out among the seats in Zhenwu Temple, and then a disciple pointed to the flag erected in front of the seat and said in horror: "There... there is a human head there!"
"Ah! It's Senior Brother Qin!"
Upon hearing the sound, Mrs. Zhuiya went and saw the flag fluttering in the strong wind, revealing the head hidden underneath.
Her hands and feet felt cold, and her body felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar. She couldn't breathe, rolled her eyes, fell towards Han Lingguang who was standing beside her, and passed out.
