Volume 1 Floating Islands in the Sea Chapter 37 Take the Sword
Ling Yan held Zi Yun in his left hand, and held a long sword in his right hand, the long sword glowed with cyan light, illuminating the road ahead, Yun Lan and Cang Tian followed closely behind Ling Yan and Zi Yun's steps, followed by the pair of masked men and women, although there was no verbal communication, but the tacit understanding that could be seen in each other's eyes was very comparable.
"Where are you going?"
"Why don't you come with me. ”
The group was suddenly shrouded in white light, only to hear a distant old voice, and suddenly felt that their eardrum was subjected to a huge impact, it sounded, the old voice seemed to deliberately lower the voice, when everyone opened their eyes again, they found that it was no longer the black tunnel, but a city.
A lonely city, with countless dead bodies lying outside the city, the air mixed with the smell of sulfur and rotting corpses, the walls of the city have long been in tatters, and in the distance, there are foreign troops stationed, they are slightly different from the people in the city, they are wearing black armor, there are two horns on the top of their heads, and they are much taller than ordinary people.
Lingyan saw the corpses lying on the ground, most of them were the corpses of human armies, and there were very few corpses left by foreign armies, in his opinion, this was a one-sided massacre, in the face of foreign armies, the human army almost had only one way to die, and there were three words written in ancient continent on the city wall, although Lingyan didn't know it, but the pen was strong, and he could naturally feel the determination of the city lord to defend this city and defend everything that belonged here.
"Who are you?"
On the city wall, there stood a man in a general's uniform, the blood on his forehead had soaked with gauze, his right hand was wrapped in gauze, and he was still holding a black long sword, the long sword was shining in the sun, the man's tone was not mixed with any emotion, and the hundreds of people under the city were neither foreigners nor armies, and they were dressed in different clothes.
Lingyan, who was standing at the forefront, arched his hand and said: "Below is a spiritual cultivator, and General Wen is defending the lonely city and coming to support the general." ”
As soon as they heard that it was not an enemy, the people squatting around the battlements slowly looked up at the bottom of the tower, with confusion and fear in their eyes, and finally gradually turned from the hope they carried for a moment to disappointment, such a hundred people were just a drop in the bucket for the foreign army they were about to face.
The general pondered for a while, and when he looked at Lingyan's eyes, he found that Lingyan's eyes were as pure as water, and he was not half-pretentious, so he hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "This general understands on behalf of the people of the city, foreign troops may appear outside the city at any time, it is better to go to the city..."
Before the general's words fell, he saw hundreds of people jump up, all standing on top of the city tower, the general thought that these more than 100 people were just fleeing people, and wanted to let them pass through the city and find a chance to take refuge, but he didn't expect that they were not ordinary people.
Standing next to the tower were all the people in the city, the defending army was all defeated by the foreign army, and the general was ready to dismiss the people in the city, but to his touch, most of the people chose to stay and choose to defend their homes.
"Immortals, I beg you to save the people of this city. ”
The general held his sword and knelt in front of Lingyan with a "plop", such a tough guy, now for the sake of the people of this city, he actually bowed his head to others, and he did not intend to retain the majesty of the general at all.
Lingyan looked into the city, almost no one passed on the street, only a convoy of women carried food to the castle tower, the whole city was silent, there was no crying, even if people died every day, but this was their choice, this was their home.
"The general can't, what he promised will definitely be done, and as for the others, he can't make the decision. Lingyan lifted the general up from the ground, Lingyan only felt that the general's breath was extremely weak, relying on a willpower to support, he could fall at any time, but he knew that he was the will of this city, he couldn't fall, if he fell, this city would be broken by foreign armies soon.
The green-shirted masked man and woman have been staring at Lingyan, they have not been paralyzed by this extremely realistic scene, this is the place of trial, this scene must be a test, obviously, Lingyan has already grasped the initiative of the entire trial, if they don't take action, I'm afraid that the Qinghong Sword will fall into the hands of others.
"We also stayed to guard the city. The masked man spoke slowly, glancing at the masked woman beside him, who did not speak, but snorted coldly and tilted her head to the side.
"I, the White Fox Sect, will naturally stay with all fellow Daoists. Bai Zhi slowly walked in front of the general, his eyes were like the white fox, as if he was unleashing some move, the general inserted the long sword into the ground, and instantly a stream of air spewed out, "Thank you, strong man." ”
Bai Zhi was shocked back a few steps by that air current, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes, he was confused by his own moves, this is the place of trial, how could he let him release the soul devouring technique so easily, the masked man saw the clue at a glance, and sneered, "I didn't expect the White Fox Sect to do this." ”
As soon as Bai Zhi saw the masked man's outfit, he naturally understood that the person in front of him was a notorious disciple of the Poison Sect, who practiced poison skills with double cultivation, and eventually his double cultivation partner would die because of this, and the means were extremely cruel, this masked man was able to cultivate the method of double cultivation to such an extent, and he must be the best among the sects.
"Next, if you want to talk about the next work, how can my White Fox Sect be the opponent of your poisonous sect?" Bai Zhi's tone was full of mockery, he had already left behind the things that the sect master had explained before going out, and the dozens of disciples behind him were all above the Spirit Illusion Realm, and he had broken through the Spirit Transformation Realm the day before yesterday, thinking that he was not afraid of the person in front of him.
"Looking for Death"
The knife in the masked man's hand was instantly placed on Bai Zhi's neck, only to see Bai Zhi's face condensed, took a few steps back, and when he urged the spiritual power again, he felt that his whole body was soft, and the spiritual power could no longer be gathered.
"A lesson for you. ”
Before the other White Fox Sect disciples could react, the masked man picked Bai Zhi up, just threw Bai Zhi away casually, and threw Bai Zhi off the city tower.
"Ahh
Hearing only a scream, Bai Zhi slammed on the ground, without spiritual power to protect his body, just relying on the resistance of his body, the pain hit Bai Zhi. The faces of the people on the city tower changed in an instant, that Bai Zhi is a spiritual realm, and he has no power to parry, what kind of strength does this masked man have?
Only Lingyan's face did not change, and his hand held Ziyun's hand tightly, signaling her not to be afraid.
"Senior brother. ”
The disciples of the White Fox Sect flew down the city tower in an instant and rescued Bai Zhi, at this moment, Bai Zhi no longer had the feeling of being above others just now, he looked extremely depressed, his hair was also messy, and there was blood hanging from the corners of his mouth.
"Who else has any objections?" The masked man's tone was extremely calm, he looked at Ling Yan, although it was only the peak of the Spirit Illusion Realm, it gave people a feeling that everything was fearless, and he felt that this man was his worst enemy.
More than 100 people ended the panicked situation just now, the strength of this masked man is so terrifying, the poison gate, that is a sect that people dare not mention, with poison as cultivation, there is the ability of one person to fight alone, the reason why the poison system is not recognized is that it is too cruel, people who cultivate this attribute will be more difficult than ordinary people to cultivate, of course, it is also more powerful.
None of the people present dared to speak, Ling Yan looked at the masked man carefully, there must be an extremely hideous face under the mask, he had already found the information about the poison gate in the classics of the Chongxiao Sect, and there were only a few words, "Refining the body with poison, raising poison with people, it is extremely cruel." ”
This is the last words left by one of the ancestors of the Chongxiao Sect before he died after falling for the tricks of the Poison Gate, which shows that this so-called Poison Gate is a tumor-like existence in the Spirit Continent, but the Poison Gate is low-key, rarely appears in front of everyone, and has never done anything to hurt the heavens and reason, otherwise how could the Four Holy Lands leave them?
When Lingyan was thinking, the foreign army outside the city had already gathered, and for a while the dust was all over the sky, and a murderous aura enveloped the entire city, the foreign army under the city was uniform, the horns on the forehead were particularly dazzling in the sunlight, and the general on the city tower frowned, the infighting just now had made him see that these more than 100 people were not a collective, and it was just an extravagant hope to expect them to fight against these tens of thousands of foreign troops.
The people standing next to the battlements were forced to put on armor, but they were not soldiers after all, and they were already exhausted from such a huge strength, how could they take on the next attack of this foreign army?
Ling Yan didn't say a word, jumped off the city wall, Zi Yun took Ling Yan's hand, the two landed firmly in front of the city gate, Yun Lan and Cang Tian glanced at each other, hesitated slightly, and jumped down, the rest of the people seemed to want to see Ling Yan How they dealt with these tens of thousands of people, even the masked man didn't move, looked at the masked woman next to him, withdrew the knife, crossed his arms, and watched the big show with interest.
Lingyan looked at Ziyun beside him, and Ziyun looked at him with a smile.
Ling Yan looked behind him, the sky and Yun Lan nodded at him, and then looked at the city wall, the other spirit cultivators didn't seem to have any intention of supporting him.
All this, he felt that this was the path he should choose, he used to be an ordinary person, his father was a soldier and died on the battlefield, his mother took him to flee everywhere, and in the end even his mother died, fortunately he met Zilai Dao, otherwise he would not be standing here today.
He had to stand here, even if it was just an illusion, even if the city behind him did not exist, what he was guarding was hope, the hope he brought to everyone, either to die here, to let the foreign army step on his corpse, or to return with glory.
"You go up. Ling Yan let go of Ziyun's hand and looked at the sky, "Senior Brother Yun, Senior Brother Cang, you take Senior Sister Yun'er up, I will meet these guys." ”
Yun Lan had no objection, if something happened to Ziyun, I was afraid that the three of them would regret it for the rest of their lives, it was better to protect her, after all, dealing with such a thankless task of a foreign army, he was not willing to follow Ling Yan, a stunned young man, to death.
"Protect her. Lingyan's voice was a little stern, and at this moment, Ziyun pondered slightly, and couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
Yun Lan and Cangqiong nodded at the same time, but it was not a place of dispute at the moment, and Ziyun did not object, and followed them back to the city wall.
"Take the sword. ”
The old man's voice came again, the voice was extremely abrupt, and a cyan long sword suddenly appeared in the air, instantly dyeing the entire sky cyan.
