Chapter 39: Secret Attack
The person who came was Huang Yue, followed by two other senior brothers, who were shocked for a moment when they saw the tragic situation in the cave.
It was Huang Yue who reacted first and asked, "Zhan Chen, can you tell me what's going on?"
Zhan Chen pretended to be sad and said, "Senior brother, Senior Brother Wang Jie and I received a report from the miners that a demon beast had appeared in the tunnel, so we hurried here to start a fierce fight with this beast. ”
"Oh, my cultivation is low, I can't help much, but I encountered danger, fortunately, Senior Brother Wang Jie sacrificed his life to save his life, so I saved my life, but Senior Brother Wang was also tragically poisoned by that evil beast!"
"When I saw Senior Brother Wang killed, I resisted and broke through at a critical moment, so I turned the tide of the battle in one fell swoop, killed this guy, and avenged Senior Brother Wang!"
Huang Yue came to Wang Jie's corpse and examined it carefully, at this time, his corpse had been bitten by the sharp-toothed badger, and he couldn't see anything else at all, even if he was suspicious, he couldn't verify it.
He had to turn his head and stare at Zhan Chen deeply, which made the latter's heart skip a beat, couldn't he have discovered something? No wonder, things are too strange, Shang Manfu's death is also related to himself, and it is inevitable that people will not be suspicious.
After the opportunity, I heard Huang Yue say: "Senior Brother Zhan Chen, you don't have to be too sad, Senior Brother Wang Jie's contribution to the mine is obvious to all, I believe that the sect will compensate his family well to comfort him in the Heavenly Spirit." ”
Zhan Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded with him.
In this way, Wang Jie's death was like a storm, and it passed all at once, and the person who replaced Wang Jie quickly arrived at the post within a few days, and the Huangyangang mine returned to its former peace.
Zhan Chen also lived a life of cultivation on duty as before, and after more than a month passed, he finally stabilized his cultivation at the middle level of martial arts. The golden sword technique has also made great progress, and when the sword is swung, the sword light emitted has also increased from less than one meter to more than one meter, don't look at the growth is not much, but in the battle, this distance may determine the victory or defeat.
But there is always a shadow in his heart, that is, who is the third person except Hong Zhigang.
The boundary of Huangyangang is not peaceful, especially at night, when the tunnel is completely suspended for rest, and the focus of protection is concentrated on the warehouse.
Because all the mined Yuan stones are not put into Pei Yanxue's pocket, but will be registered in a special warehouse. Then every once in a while, the sect would send someone to recover these yuan stones. The overseer is integrated from top to bottom, and the sect pays special attention to the details.
To some extent, this mechanism also gave the Huanggang faction an opportunity, and they would send people to attack the warehouses in Huangyangang almost every month, hoping to intercept the Yuan Stone that the Golden Elephant Sect had worked so hard to mine.
Of course, such attacks are carried out on a small scale and secretly, and if they are too blatant, then the face of the two sects will be unbearable, and it will even lead to large-scale sectarian wars. This is a result that no one wants to see, and it is also something that the Lanfeng Sect, a medium-sized sect above the five sects, cannot tolerate.
However, even if it was a small-scale attack, it was accompanied by the light of swords and blood, and every time, two disciples of the sect were killed or injured because of it, but both sides seemed to have acquiesced to this cruel way of competition and would not investigate it further.
That night, Zhan Chen, as usual, was patrolling the mountains, and suddenly saw a fireworks signal on the other side of the mountain.
He hurriedly hurried back, but halfway through, he saw two figures facing each other on the top of the mountain, one of whom he was very familiar with, it was Pei Yanxue, and the other was dressed in black, covering his head and hiding his face, and he couldn't see his face.
Pei Yanxue sneered: "Yang Xinlao'er, you are also a young man, hiding your head and masking your face, don't you dare to see people with your true face? Is this what your Huanggang faction does?"
"Hahaha, Pei Yanxue, the old man won't fall for your strategy, no matter what you say, I won't take off the mask, today we are both supporting roles, just rest." Our disciples are the protagonists. ”
"Think beautiful!" Pei Yanxue saw that a group of people had broken in and went straight to the warehouse where the yuan stone was stored, and he couldn't help but be in a hurry, so he wanted to go down and stop it.
But when he saw the figure of the man in black flashing, he blocked in front of Pei Yanxue's body, and said with a smile: "The surname Pei, don't panic and give the old man a trick." ”
"Hmph, I'm going to call you a little skin today!" Pei Yanxue said as he took out a spear from the Qiankun bag and was with Yang Xinzhan.
For a while, the sand and rocks flew away, the boulder shattered, and the figures of the two people flickered rapidly, which could not be captured with the naked eye, and could only be heard from it, and the piercing whistling sound formed by the collision of blades from time to time, and the explosion sound of colliding with the true qi.
Zhan Chen looked at this scene and sighed in his heart: "The strong Wuzun is really powerful, I'm afraid I can't connect with them, go down first to help my brother!"
Thinking of this, he quickly bypassed Pei Yanxue and Yang Xin and rushed towards the bottom of the mountain.
The scene below the mountain was also chaotic, all the disciples of the Golden Elephant Sect were fighting with their opponents, this night attack of the Huanggang Sect was obviously prepared, and its scale was simply different from the previous attacks.
Zhan Chen stood above and watched, but he didn't know who to help for a while, and suddenly an exclamation came from the side: "Zhan Chen, save me!"
Zhan Chen hurriedly followed the prestige, but found that a woman's swordsmanship was out of order, and with a false shot, he abandoned the enemy and fled in his direction.
And a masked man behind him was in hot pursuit, shouting while chasing back: "Beauty, why don't you play with your brother, let's make a few more moves." ”
"It's Yin Yanyan!" Zhan Chen immediately recognized her, this Yin Yanyan is very beautiful, and she also has the cultivation of a martial artist at the middle level, and she has a good relationship with herself, and she often gets close to him, but unfortunately Zhan Chen is devoted to cultivation and has not developed a relationship with her.
Looking at the enemy chasing her, there was only a middle-level martial artist cultivator, and a fine light flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes: "Fighting at the same level, I'm not afraid of any opponent!"
So he took the initiative to meet him, blocked between Yin Yanyan and the man, and said, "Yin Yanyan, you go first, and the opponent will be handed over to me to deal with!"
"The opponent is very strong, do you want me to help" Yin Yanyan didn't seem to worry about Zhan Chen, and didn't listen to Zhan Chen, she ran first.
Seeing this, Zhan Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, little meaning, just leave it to me!"
Yin Yanyan nodded worriedly and said, "Then you be careful!" and stayed on the sidelines to watch the battle.
Seeing that Zhan Chen dared to come to a hero in front of him to save the beauty, the masked man couldn't help but be angry and scolded: "Boy, you are too arrogant, you two join forces, Lao Tzu is still afraid of you three points, but you dare to fight with me alone, be careful that I abolish you." ”
Zhan Chen smiled contemptuously: "Your verbal kung fu is good, but I don't know what is the kung fu in your hand?"
"Boy, die!" The masked man couldn't hold back any longer, and raised his sword and slashed at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen smiled coldly, stepped on the flowing clouds, and with a slight flick, he dodged his attack.
The masked man felt that he had been played, and he was furious for a while, and shouted: "Look at the move! Thick Earth Sword!" The blade of the sword changed, and it became calm and powerful in one move, looking clumsy and slow, but it was often able to strike backwards, both offensive and defensive, and for a while, Zhan Chen's attacks were stopped by him one after another.
A hint of approval flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, and he thought: "I can't imagine that the earth attribute swordsmanship seems to be clumsy, but it also has merits, if you change to the same level, you will inevitably be defeated, but when you meet me, you will be your nemesis!"
He had basically tried out the masked man's methods, so he no longer hesitated, and shouted: "Look at the move! Golden Sword Technique!" The sword in his hand stabbed towards the masked man's chest.
The masked man subconsciously wanted to use the sword in his hand to resist according to his previous appearance, but suddenly, a platinum sword flash flashed on Zhan Chen's sword, and his sword was bounced away, and the castration was unabated, and it rushed towards his heart quickly, unstoppable!
The man cried out in alarm, "No!"
However, the sword in Zhan Chen's hand would not stop, and with a pop, it sank deep into his chest, and the masked man raised his head and looked at Zhan Chen in horror, as if he was regretting that he was his enemy.
After killing the masked man with a sword, Zhan Chen's spirit suddenly relaxed. However, at this moment, he felt a deep chill behind him, rushing towards him!
"Eye of the Dao!" Zhan Chen turned his head and subconsciously turned on his supernatural powers, but what he saw was a desperate scene.
It was Yin Yanyan! She stabbed her sword towards her heart, and the tip of the sword was only 3 inches away from his back!
"What should I do, I can't avoid it!" Zhan Chen's heart began to beat violently, once he closed the Eye of the Dao, I am afraid that what he saw was the moment when the sword sank into his back.
His eyes couldn't help but look at Yin Yanyan again, at this time, there was a triumphant victory smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of banter, as if she was laughing at Zhan Chen for being played with by her, she was the third person!
Zhan Chen even felt the sweat flowing on his forehead, and the fear in his heart was unprecedented: "Am I really going to die!?"
