In the mountain temple at the northern foot of Mount Tai, Ye Feng sat quietly on the grass. Qin Yi helped him find Li Que, he had been setting off for several days, and he might have met Li Que at this time. Lu Xiaozhuo originally stayed to take care of Ye Feng, but as soon as Ye Feng's body improved slightly, he asked Lu Xiaozhuo to return to Penglai Immortal Island, saying that he wanted to retrieve something important. As a result, only Ye Feng was left in the mountain temple.

Winter has arrived, the night is deep, the cold wind is raging, and the dilapidated small temple with doors and windows is irrigated by the wind. Suddenly, with the sound of the wind, there was a rush of footsteps, which sounded like there were one or twenty people. Ye Feng touched the wound on his abdomen, and he was still in a faint pain.

A man pushed open the door and broke in, causing dust to fly in the temple. This person is none other than Zhong Liyan. He covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and said, "Oops! What the hell is this place? You can hide for so long in this shabby place! ”

Ye Feng raised his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter where he is, isn't it enough for you to just find me?" ”

The corners of Zhong Liyan's mouth curved, smiled slightly, and said, "That's right! Since you all know I'm looking for you, what are you hiding? Do you think you can escape from the palm of my hand? With the power of my martial arts alliance leader, even if the entire Shandong is turned upside down, it will only take half a month. You say, where can you hide? He pointed to the ground, "This ruined temple is the place where my men discovered three days ago. After much inquiry, it was confirmed that it was you. I'm just here! ”

Ye Feng said: "You are the master of the martial arts alliance, and you actually came in person, you really look up to me!" ”

Zhong Liyan said: "You are not an ordinary person! Since the sword and sword duel, you have tracked me down for twenty-one years! I had you when I killed Bao Dahai in Monkey Mountain, you when I took the "Magic Qin Score" in Hangzhou, you when I won the Xiyue Sword in the Tianshan Mountains, and you when I used the Xiyue Sword to regain the position of the leader of the Wulin Alliance in Huashan. Now, you're running right under my nose again, and you've even killed the Sword God. Why do you dare to snub you again when you tell me? ”

Ye Feng asked, "Are you admitting that you did all those things?" ”

Zhong Liyan breathed a long sigh of relief, touched his hair, and said, "That's right! I did it. Your inference is not false at all. It was I who conspired with the Sword God to kill your master, and it was I who took the Xiyue Sword, and even your senior brother, who was so sick that he was dying, was also a loss to me for giving him a ride. ”

"You!" Ye Feng couldn't listen anymore, he really wanted to jump up immediately and stab Wen Bai's broken sword into Zhong Liyan's heart. However, the pain in his abdomen became more and more intense, as if blood was about to spurt out again, which made it impossible for the true qi in his body to run smoothly.

Zhong Liyan waved his hand and said, "Don't be angry, my Flying Shadow Hero." Actually, you've helped me a lot over the years. If you hadn't made everyone think that you had taken the Xiyue Sword, I wouldn't have been able to blame you for everything. ”

Ye Feng covered his stomach and asked, "You do so many things just to be the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance?" ”

Zhong Liyan asked rhetorically: "Isn't this enough?" ”

Ye Feng asked again: "But, under your Scattered Flower Sect, how can there be so many Dongying ninjas?" ”

Zhong Liyan gasped and said, "You are really smart, no wonder you can investigate my affairs clearly." With your cleverness, it shouldn't be difficult to understand the reasons for this. ”

Ye Feng thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that you also colluded with Dongying?" ”

Zhong Liyan nodded slowly and replied, "Almost!" To be more precise, I am a native of Dongying. ”

"Huh?" Ye Feng raised his head abruptly and stared at Zhong Liyan, but soon, he lowered his head again and returned to a calm tone, "I see." At first, I only thought that you went to great lengths to fight for the position of leader of the alliance because of your personal ambitions. It turns out that you still have the master behind you. ”

Zhong Liyan waved his sleeves and said, "If you want to conquer the Central Plains, you must first conquer the Central Plains martial arts." And if you want to conquer the Central Plains Martial Arts, you must make me the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance. That's our plan. Although, it was disrupted halfway by Qin Yi's guy, but now, everything is back to plan. He pointed at Ye Feng, "And you are the last obstacle I have cleared for our plan." ”

Ye Feng also smiled and asked, "If you tell me all your plans, will you be sure to kill me?" ”

Zhong Liyan said: "If you are still a flying shadow on weekdays, I am really not sure." It's a pity, you're seriously injured now, and you're already a waste, so ......" He leaned down, leaned over to Ye Feng, and whispered, "You are going to die today." With a smile still on his face, he turned around, walked outside the temple, took a few steps, and then stopped, and said, "By the way, you don't have to count on your good brother Li Que." Even if he comes from Jiangnan, at most he can only collect the body for you. ”

When Zhong Liyan walked out of the mountain temple, more than a dozen ninja darts flew from outside the house like snowflakes. Ye Feng leaned back, and the ninja darts all slashed in front of his eyes, nailing them to the wall behind him. At this time, the already dilapidated doors and windows were washed away, and the ninjas poured into the temple like fleas. A dozen or twenty people were crammed into the small mountain temple at once. The bright ninja knife slashed towards Ye Feng in unison. Ye Feng picked up the fake Xiyue Sword beside him, blocked it horizontally, held the hilt of the sword again, threw out the scabbard, and hit the waists of the two ninjas, shattering their liver and gallbladder. All that can be pulled out of the scabbard is a broken sword, how can you resist these swarming ninjas? Ye Feng simply threw the broken sword, cutting the throat of the ninja who rushed to the front.

Ye Feng no longer had any weapons. He reached into the haystack beneath him and felt a piece of hemp rope hidden in the haystack. This hemp rope connected the two pillars in the mountain temple, and these two pillars had already been cut by Ye Feng, but they were only maintained by hemp rope. This is a trap that Ye Feng has laid out in the past few days. Ye Feng pulled the hemp rope hard, and the two pillars were immediately staggered into two, and the entire mountain temple collapsed in an instant. Where did those dozen ninjas come up with this trick? All of a sudden, it was all pressed open. Even if you're lucky enough not to be crushed to death, at least you can't move.

Zhong Liyan stood outside the temple, waiting for his subordinates to come out with Ye Feng's head, but he was even more surprised when he suddenly saw this earth-shaking scene. When he came to his senses, Ye Feng had already taken advantage of the dust raised by the collapse of the temple, withdrew to the outside of the temple, and then fled into the mountain along the path behind the mountain. Zhong Liyan was annoyed and angry, where could he still take care of those ninjas who were suppressed? Hurry up and lead the rest of your men to chase after them into the mountains.

Ye Feng's light skills were originally the best in the world, as long as he wanted to escape, no one could catch up. However, he couldn't run too fast now, as the wound in his abdomen had ruptured, and severe pain and bleeding were entangled in him. The Iga ninjas, who are also known for their light skills, have a chance to catch up with Ye Feng.

A chain flung over and wrapped around Ye Feng's right ankle, causing him to stop. Ye Feng took advantage of the situation and kicked his right foot and pulled out the ninja on the other end of the chain. The ninja's entire body flew out, and he crashed headfirst into a large tree, and he whimpered with his life. Ye Feng pulled out his sword and cut the chains, but the ninjas had already taken advantage of this gap to surround him. Ye Feng held his stomach in one hand and an iron sword in the other, and killed two or three more ninjas.

But I saw a burst of Heavenly Maiden flowers flying all over the world, which was thrown by the disciples of the Scattered Flower Sect. Ye Feng spun the iron sword, and the Heavenly Maiden Flower was all bounced back. The disciples of the Scattered Flower Sect hurriedly scattered and fled, and a few who escaped slowly had to be hit by the Heavenly Maiden Flower that they had hit.

Before Ye Feng could catch his breath, another burst of Heavenly Maiden flowers flew in, this time not as many as the last time, but the speed was faster. Ye Feng used the iron sword to block it again, and suddenly felt a shake of his wrist, and the strength of the female flower these days has more than doubled compared to the last time. It turned out that Zhong Liyan stood aside and watched the battle for a long time, and finally lost patience and took action in person. Ye Feng used all his strength to take most of the Heavenly Maiden Flowers, but there were still two pieces that passed through his sword and hit the old wound in his abdomen. And the blood flowed more fiercely, like a flood that broke its banks. Facing the ninjas and scattered flower sect disciples who were still besieging, Ye Feng could only grit his teeth and barely cope, but his strength was losing little by little.

Zhong Liyan said proudly: "Ye Feng, this time is not as good as the Tongguan time. How much blood do you have left to shed? ”

Ye Feng really didn't have much blood to shed. He was so exhausted that he had to get down to his knees on one leg and support his body with an iron sword. While panting, he glared at Zhong Liyan and said, "I, Ye Feng, have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for twenty years, even if it is difficult to escape today, how can I die at the hands of you widows?" He gripped the bloodstained iron sword with his trembling right hand, sighed, closed his eyes, and held the sword across his neck.

"Uncle Shi!" Suddenly, a shout startled Ye Feng to open his eyes again. He fixed his eyes on a man who had been killed from the bottom of the mountain, dressed in rags, armed with an iron sword, and carrying a steel knife behind his back. Isn't that Lu Xiaozhuo? I saw Lu Xiaozhuo jump in front of Ye Feng and shouted, "Uncle Shi, how are you?" ”

Zhong Liyan said: "Ye Feng, it is not in vain that you have done your best for the Tianshan Sect. Before you die, there is also a nephew to see you off. ”

Lu Xiaozhuo turned his head, stared at Zhong Liyan viciously, and said, "You are neither a man nor a woman!" Hugh is going to be rampant! I'm here to see you off! ”

Ye Feng grabbed Lu Xiaozhuo and said, "You are not his opponent, let's go by yourself and leave me alone." ”

"Neither of you can leave!" Zhong Liyan gave an order, and his subordinates besieged it again.

Lu Xiaozhuo took out a pocket from his arms, threw it into the air, and struck it with his palm. The pocket exploded, and a puff of pale green smoke soon filled the entire mountain forest. Zhong Liyan recognized the smoke at a glance as the Five Poisons, and quickly held her breath. But his men didn't have time to dodge, and soon felt breathless, distended and painful in the lower abdomen, and weakness in their limbs, and then collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth. Lu Xiaozhuo hurriedly picked up Ye Feng on his back and ran towards the top of the mountain.

Ye Feng asked, "How can you have five poisons on your body?" ”

Lu Xiaozhuo replied: "It was given to me and my senior brother by Situ Gu." This is a long story, and I will explain it to Uncle Shi later. ”

Lu Xiaozhuo didn't dare to look back, didn't dare to rest, didn't even dare to breathe, as long as he saw a road, he ran down. Until a platform a few feet square, the road disappeared, but the wind was stronger, and as far as the eye could see, except for a few green hills that could be vaguely seen by the moonlight, it was pitch black all around.

Lu Xiaozhuo was thinking, "Have you already reached the top of the mountain?" But he felt a gust of wind behind him. He turned around and saw that it was not a blast wind, but a palm wind played by Zhong Liyan. Lu Xiaozhuo's hand had just touched his iron sword, and his shoulder had already been hit by this palm. He was knocked to the ground along with Ye Feng. But Lu Xiaozhuo quickly got up from the ground again, looked around, and saw that Ye Feng was still lying on the ground, so he ran over and helped Ye Feng up.

It was only after this moment that Zhong Liyan appeared in front of them again, and said: "This is the top of Mount Tai, you can't go up to the sky, you can't go down to the ground, there are dead ends on all sides, see where you can run!" ”

Lu Xiaozhuo lifted the iron sword and shouted, "I won't let you hurt Uncle Shi if I die!" ”

However, Zhong Liyan just waved his sleeves slightly, and then blocked the iron sword that Lu Xiaozhuo stabbed, and then slapped the back of his hand on Lu Xiaozhuo's face, like a slap in the face. Lu Xiaozhuo's whole person was beaten and flipped in the air, and then fell to the ground. Just about to stand up, he was kicked in the chest by Zhong Liyan again, and he slid out a foot away.

In Huashan, Lu Xiaozhuo once witnessed Zhong Liyan's skills overwhelm the crowd and became the leader of the martial arts alliance. At that time, he was amazed by Zhong Liyan's swordsmanship. And now, after his face-to-face fight with Zhong Liyan, he has to admit that the difference between himself and Zhong Liyan is more than ten or eight years of kung fu. However, he had no choice but to pick up the sword again, pointed at Zhong Liyan, and roared, "I'll fight with you!" "Rushed up.

Lu Xiaozhuo had never swung his sword so hard, so hard that the sword kept trembling in his hand; He had never swung his sword so violently, so furious that even he couldn't see where the blade was. However, no matter how hard he tried and how violent he was, his sword never touched Zhong Liyan's body, but it was more and more stained with his own blood. Lu Xiaozhuo was knocked down many times, and stood up again and again; was repeatedly beaten away, and repeatedly rushed back. In the end, he was already blue and swollen, bleeding from his seven orifices, but he still dragged his staggering feet towards Zhong Liyan.

At this moment, Ye Feng's heart was like a knife. thought that before Wen Bai died, he had entrusted the Xiyue Sword and the Tianshan Sect to him; But now, Zhong Liyan was about to use the Xiyue Sword to wipe out the Tianshan faction, how could he not make Ye Feng both annoyed and ashamed, angry and sad? Annoyed that he was powerless, ashamed that he had failed his senior brother, angry that Zhong Liyan deceived no one in the Tianshan faction, and worried that there was really no one in the Tianshan faction. Ye Feng turned his face to the side and clenched his fists. At this time, snow fell in the sky.

Zhong Liyan had lost her patience and raised a palm and hit Lu Xiaozhuo. Where does Lu Xiaozhuo still have the strength to dodge? I can only hold the determination to die, bite the bullet, close my eyes, grit my teeth, and raise my two hands to block. As Zhong Liyan's palm wind approached, Lu Xiaozhuo thought that his life could no longer be saved. The palm wind whistled by, and Lu Xiaozhuo's whole body was piercing and cold, but he didn't feel pain.

"Is it because he died too quickly?" But when Lu Xiaozhuo opened his eyes and saw that he was still standing on the top of Mount Tai, he touched his body again, and there was no new scar. And what about Zhong Liyan? Still standing a few steps away from Lu Xiaozhuo. On the ground between the two, a crack five inches deep and five feet long appeared out of thin air, which seemed to be caused by a steel knife. Who can have such sword skills? Zhong Liyan's heart trembled slightly. Looking up, the person standing in front of Ye Feng was indeed Li Que.

Since killing Yunwailou and Wei Xing, Li Que has not encountered too many obstacles and has been walking to Jinan. And Qin Yi originally went all the way south to look for Li Que, but when he arrived in Xuzhou, he heard that Li Que had washed the Qiqiao Gate in blood, so he had to turn around and chase him north, and he also chased him all the way to Jinan. In the end, Qin Yi finally caught up with Li Que, told him about Shandong, and drew a map of Mount Tai to indicate the location of Ye Feng's hiding. However, Qin Yi was unwilling to participate in the dispute between the Sanhuamen and the Tianshan faction, so Li Que had no choice but to go to Mount Tai alone.

Li Que found the mountain temple depicted on the map, but only saw a collapsed ruin. There were still a few ninjas who were still breathing under the ruins, and from their mouths, Li Que knew the direction of Ye Feng's escape. Then, halfway up the mountainside, he met those Sanhuamen disciples who were paralyzed by the five poisons, and Li Que thought, "Ye Feng must have fled towards the top of the mountain." When Li Que arrived at the top of the mountain, he happened to encounter the scene where Zhong Liyan wanted to kill Lu Xiaozhuo.

Li Que appeared, and appeared at this critical moment, which really surprised Zhong Liyan. Zhong Liyan stabilized his mind and said, "I'm still guessing if you will come, you really came!" ”

Li Que first looked at Ye Feng's injuries and confirmed that he was not worried about his life, then turned back to Zhong Liyan and said, "If you want to kill him, you must first ask me about the Maitreya knife in my hand!" ”

Zhong Liyan crossed her hands on her hips and said, "Today, count me the biggest!" Even if you come, what can you do? ”

Li Que asked rhetorically: "Really?" If the Zhongli Alliance Leader was really so confident, why did he send his subordinates several times and set up tricks to stop me from going north? ”

Zhong Liyan frowned and said, "Hmph! Don't be complacent! Do you still remember that when the Huashan Divine Soldiers decided, your Maitreya Sword was defeated by my Heavenly Maiden Flower, so it could only rank fourth on the "Divine Soldier List"? ”

Li Que said: "Huashan Shenbing decided to talk about meeting friends with force, and the point was up to the point, so everyone did not do their best; Today's battle is different, it is a battle of life and death, and it is not known who will win and who will lose. ”

"Then let's give it a try!" Zhong Liyan said coldly, and casually threw a wave of Heavenly Maiden flowers.

Li Que swept the Maitreya knife to the ground, and the raised snow collided with the Celestial Maiden flower. There was a crackling sound, and no one could see what was happening in mid-air. The snowflakes were scattered and turned into droplets; Some of the Celestial Maidens fell in response, and the other part passed through the snow and mist. The Maitreya knife was also waved in the air, like a dragon shuttling between the stars, and each starlight was the burst of fire from the blade striking the petals.

A petal flew towards Li Que's right wrist. In the Huashan Divine Soldier Decisive eleven years ago, it was this petal that knocked down Li Que's Maitreya knife. This is the fastest, most accurate, and most ruthless petal of the Celestial Maiden. Even now, Li Que knew about its existence, but he still didn't have time to dodge. This petal once again slashed Li Que's right wrist, forcing him to let go of his right hand and also let go of the Maitreya knife. However, before the Maitreya knife landed, it was caught by Li Que's left hand, and it was still swung so quickly. Although the right hand was slightly injured, it did not affect the knife technique. This was the best way Li Que could think of to dissolve that petal.

Zhong Liyan didn't expect Li Que to have this trick. Therefore, his hand shook slightly, and the next wave of Tiannu flowers he threw was not so ruthless and not so accurate. The petals were either knocked down or dodged, and only the last one flew in front of Li Que's eyes and collided head-on with the Maitreya knife. Unexpectedly, this petal was so powerful that the Maitreya knife could not block it. Li Que took advantage of the situation and turned around with a knife, making the petals turn their heads, and flew towards Zhong Liyan instead. Zhong Liyan hurriedly flashed to the side, and the petals were passing by the right side of his face.

Zhong Liyan felt a burst of heat on her face, and when she was blown by the cold wind, it turned into pain again. When he touched the right side of his face, his hand was stained with bright red blood. Face to Zhong Liyan is more important than life! He suddenly went crazy, and with both hands threw an overwhelming piece of heavenly maiden flowers. No matter how fast the Maitreya knife is, it is inevitable that there will often be petals missing. Li Que had more than a dozen scars on his shoulders and arms, but fortunately, none of them hurt him.

However, what worries Li Que the most is not these petals, but a true qi that emerges from this heavenly flower. This is not the true qi attached to the Celestial Maiden Flower, but much sharper, more like sword qi. When that true qi rushed towards him, Li Que blocked it with a horizontal knife, but it was as if he had endured the pressure of Mount Tai. His left leg, which was already a little inconvenient, was even more difficult to support at this time, and he knelt down all of a sudden, and his knee smashed into the ground. Look at the Maitreya knife again, it is really a sword, the edge of the sword is curved, and the outer edge has thorns. Zhong Liyan was holding the sword.

"I recognize this sword!" Lu Xiaozhuo shouted, "Last year, in Huashan, he used this sword to win against Qin Daxia. ”

Ye Feng also shouted: "Brother Li, be careful! That's the Xiyue Sword! ”
