Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 42
After that, the two cultivators who followed closely behind them couldn't help but be shocked when they saw what was happening in front of them.
In the face of the sword qi that came from the horizontal slash, the two of them couldn't raise the slightest desire to resist, and immediately flashed to both sides.
However, their speed was not as fast as the sword qi after all, although they flashed quickly, they were still grazed by the sword qi to their arms, and a stream of fire attribute energy spread from the wound on their arms to their whole bodies.
One of the cultivators sensed that something was wrong, and after a moment of thought, he immediately made a decision and waved his hand to slash off his injured arm. Blood spurted from the broken wound in his arm like a tidal wave, and his face turned pale in an instant.
And that fiery sword aura, in the frightened eyes of everyone, finally met the trunk of a big tree about four or five people hugging each other.
"Boom"
With a loud bang, I saw that the body of the big tree completely exploded, and even the crown of the tree was shocked by the shock wave of the explosion, and it flew more than ten meters into the sky.
When the smoke cleared, everyone saw the scene clearly.
The two people who were cut off by the sword qi at the beginning had turned into four pieces of coke under the attack of fire attribute energy.
The cultivator who was bruised also fell to the ground, and there seemed to be a flame burning in his body, and the body that fell to the ground quickly dried up, and there was no breath of life anymore.
The only one who survived, at this time sat on his knees with a pale face, and with his only remaining hand, he was tending to the wound on his severed arm, trying to control the injury from worsening, and his eyes were full of fear.
The onlookers had fallen into a dead silence.
It's just a sword, lightning and flint, three dead and one wounded.
These four cultivators were all masters from the Xuanyuan Family and the Dragon Group, and they were all high-level cultivators who had stepped into the Seventh Heaven.
This black-robed mysterious man who stood in front of them was not only extremely strong, but also extremely ruthless. It didn't leave any affection for the Xuanyuan family and the dragon group.
Top powerhouse ......
This thought suddenly came to everyone's minds.
Those who wanted to rush forward before, with good qualities, such as the Xuanyuan family, the Dragon Group, and some powerhouses of the top forces, all had chills down their backs, their faces were pale, and they looked at Ruan Shi with fear on their faces.
And the quality is low, and they can't even stand up, their legs are trembling, and their whole body is convulsing.
Top powerhouse, this is a group of people who stand at the top of the entire Chinese Empire. Every top powerhouse is enough to support a top force.
Such an existence, even if it is also a top force, does not want to be offended. Not to mention their group of people,
In normal times, in the face of a top powerhouse, these people simply do not have the courage to resist.
After the cultivation has reached a certain point, the gap between the two sides can no longer be made up by numbers, the reason why these people are scared to death, but no one leaves, the most important thing is because Xuanyuan Peng Yue is here.
Xuanyuan Peng Yue's appearance here also represents the attitude of the Xuanyuan family and the dragon group.
The Xuanyuan family, as the first family of the Chinese Empire, and the Dragon Group, as the strongest force in the official background of the Chinese Empire, the weight of the two is not ordinary.
What's more, behind them, there is also a supreme powerhouse!
Seeing that these people still did not retreat, Ruan Shi hid his face behind the mask, and a cold murderous intent appeared.
In her heart, there is no pity.
Ruan Shi moved, the fire sword in her hand was raised, and with her movements, above the head pointed by the tip of the sword, fireballs quickly appeared.
What started as a fireball the size of seven or eight fists turned into thirty or forty basketball-sized fireballs in just a few breaths.
The dark clouds in the sky obscured the daylight, and the vision in the forest was already a little dim. And the appearance of these dozens of huge fireballs made a large area glow red.
Because Ruan Shi's movements were too fast, almost after sending out that terrifying sword light, the fireball above his head had already begun to condense, and when everyone had not yet recovered from Ruan Shi's previous sword, Ruan Shi's attack fell again!
The sword fell, and all the fireballs shot in all directions.
Watching the fireball fall, everyone subconsciously retreated quickly
However, with everyone's movements, those falling fireballs were like eyes with eyes, chasing after everyone.
The fireball was falling too fast.
It's so fast that these people can't dodge at all. As the wails of pain sounded, everyone's backs were already soaked in cold sweat.
Everyone was suppressed by Ruan Shi's hand, including Zhong Xiuzhu.
Zhong Xiuzhu is a master of the Nine Heavens, but judging from the combat power shown by the mysterious person in front of him just now, Zhong Xiuzhu knows very well that he is naturally definitely not the opponent of the other party.
Everything before is said quickly, but in reality it is only time to breathe.
In such a short period of time, dozens of people have been laid to rest here. These people, all of them were intermediate cultivators or above, and even advanced cultivators who had reached the Seventh Heaven, and there were more than a dozen of them.
Zhong Xiuzhu asked himself, he definitely didn't have the strength to do this.
The mysterious man in front of the restaurant not only did it, but it didn't seem to be too laborious.
At the beginning, he thought that this mysterious person was Luo Zhentian, the leader of the Dark Prison, but judging from the performance just now, this person could definitely not be Luo Zhentian.
First of all, Luo Zhentian did not have attribute internal force.
Secondly, this person was obviously a fellow practitioner of ancient martial arts and abilities, and Luo Zhentian, as far as he knew, was just an ancient martial arts cultivator.
Finally, and most importantly, this person's strength is too strong, and Luo Zhentian is only a Nine Heavens that has only broken through in recent years, and it is absolutely impossible to have such strength.
How could a person with such strength wear the black robes of the Dark Hell? Is he trying to take the blame? This is unlikely.
The strong have the dignity of the strong, so how can they use such a shady method of blame. With the strength of the mysterious person in front of him, the Dark Prison is not enough to see.
"It's the strong man hidden in the Dark Prison, Luo Zhentian is not the strongest person in the Dark Prison!" Many people had such thoughts in their hearts, even Ding Yuanqing, who came out of the Dark Prison.
The flames were still burning, the fiery serpents were jumping, and the screams in the flames were long gone.
At this moment, only the wind is still wandering, bringing the whirring of tongues of fire.
A vague figure appeared in the sea of fire, slowly walking in the direction of everyone.
This figure walked very slowly, but in the eyes of everyone, every step of the other party seemed to carry an unknown rhythm, just stepping on the time point between their heartbeats.
Ruan Shi walked in the sea of fire, without looking at the corpse at her feet.
In the past five years, she has been with Dugu Sheng almost all the time, and she has been deeply influenced by Dugu Sheng.
Dugu Sheng, due to the relationship he experienced in his childhood, lacks reverence for life, and this is also imperceptibly influencing Ruan Shi.
Seeing Ruan Shi walking out of the sea of fire, it was still the same black robe, still the same grimace mask, and still the fiery red long sword. All this made everyone's breathing a little short.
Walking out of the sea of fire, ignoring everyone's gaze, Ruan Shi raised the long sword in his hand again.
All those in front of her are her enemies!
If the enemy does not retreat, she will not retreat!
If the enemy does not retreat, she will kill them until they retreat!
With the raising of the long sword, the sea of fire behind Ruan Shi instantly erupted into a wave of fire, and in the frightened eyes of everyone, the flames of the sea of fire behind Ruan Shi gradually rose, rising up a wall of fire more than ten meters high.
These rising flames of light, after reaching the extreme, seemed to be pulled by some kind of force, and they surged towards the long sword held high in Ruan Shi's hand one after another.
The flames converged at an alarming speed, spreading downward with the blade.
Layers of firelight covered Ruan Shi's body and the long sword she held aloft.
When all the flames were drawn to Ruan Shi's body, everyone realized that the land that was previously covered by fireballs had a large pit with a diameter of about 50 meters, and the pit was full of magma, and the bones of their former companions were gone......
Seeing that Ruan Shi was going to continue to do it, Zhong Xiuzhu, who was the protector of Xuanyuan Peng Yue, finally couldn't help it.
Zhong Xiuzhu knew very well that everything that was happening in front of him was beyond his control. Looking at the other party's unscrupulous approach, he wouldn't care about the deterrence of the Xuanyuan family and the dragon group at all.
For people like them, who are powerful people, they are not afraid of the strong, what they are really afraid of is madness!
Zhong Xiuzhu took a deep breath and looked at the mysterious person who had been wrapped in flames, although he knew that he was not the opponent of the other party, but at this moment, he had to stand up.
"This friend of the Hell, we have no ill intentions, there must be some misunderstanding in this, we might as well talk about it. ”
Hearing Zhong Xiuzhu's words, Ruan Shi didn't speak at all, and her response was the sword in her hand.
The flames of the sword body have been condensed over and over again, and even show a state of almost crystallization.
Seeing this sword qi full of destructive power rushing towards him, Zhong Xiuzhu couldn't help but be shocked.
He quickly retreated, wanting to avoid this sword qi, but at this moment, he had been locked by the sword qi.
Zhong Xiuzhu knew very well that with his current cultivation, he couldn't speed up this sword qi at all. No matter how he dodged, this sword qi would definitely fall on him in the end.
Xuanyuan Peng Yue also saw Zhong Xiuzhu's crisis, and hurriedly shouted: "Zhong Lao be careful! Everyone work together, save Zhong Lao!"
At a very young age, Zhong Xiuzhu was already his protector. The relationship between the two has always been very good, although Xuanyuan Peng Yue is usually quite proud, but he really regards Zhong Xiuzhu as his elder.
Therefore, when he saw Zhong Xiuzhu in danger, Xuanyuan Peng Yue was also taken aback and couldn't help but exhale.
Zhong Xiuzhu is getting older, and over the years, not only has his strength not improved, but with the aging of his body, his combat power has decreased to a certain extent.
As Xuanyuan Peng Yue, who has always been with Zhong Xiuzhu, knows very well that with Zhong Xiuzhu's strength, it is difficult to take this sword.
Fortunately, when the others heard Xuanyuan Peng Yue's shout, they forcibly suppressed the fear in their hearts and attacked the sword qi one after another.
The advantage in numbers was manifested at this time, and dozens of cultivators attacked at the same time, and its power should not be underestimated.
Although Ruan Shi's sword crushed the dozens of oncoming attacks, the sword qi itself was obviously weakened a lot.
However, everyone only had one chance to attack, and after defeating everyone's combined blow, the sword qi had already come to Zhong Xiuzhu's body.
Zhong Xiuzhu was shocked, and a majestic internal force came out of his body, and the majestic internal force of the Nine Heavens suddenly exploded at this moment, blocking in front of Ruan Shi's sword qi.
"Boom"
A bang sounded, Ruan Shi's sword suddenly exploded, and a majestic power shock wave hit Zhong Xiuzhu's body, shaking his body more than ten meters away, and slamming into a big tree before stopping.
Zhong Xiuzhu leaned against the trunk of the big tree behind him and coughed violently. With every cough, a mouthful of blood spurted out. Although he protected the vital point at the critical moment, the concussion caused by the explosion still injured his internal organs, and he suffered a lot of internal injuries.
Seeing that Zhong Xiuzhu was injured, Xuanyuan Peng Yue asked with some concern, "Old Zhong, how are you?"
Feeling Xuanyuan Peng Yue's concern for him, Zhong Xiuzhu comforted him, and after saying that it was okay, he sat cross-legged directly under the big tree on the spot, exercising his pranayama.
