Chapter 51: The Jade-Faced Devil
The swordsman held the sword in one hand, and as a body of mana was injected into it, he only heard the long sword vibrate slightly, and mysterious energy emanated from it. The ground beneath his feet seemed to have been affected by a special influence, and began to tremble violently, and the ground within a radius of 100 zhang quickly cracked.
Patches of rocks and dirt slowly rose into the air, clinging to the blade of his sword one by one under the control of the swordsmana's mana. In less than a moment, the three-foot spirit sword in the swordsman's hand turned into a huge stone sword that was a hundred feet long.
I saw that the sword passenger controlled the huge stone sword with mana and slashed down at Yiye, and before the sword fell, the trees behind Yiye fell down in pieces due to this powerful sword qi.
In the face of such a powerful blow, he will die if he hits, and he will be injured if he is not in a hurry, and Yiye, who is bent on a quick battle, does not intend to avoid the edge.
Yiye held the heavenly fire in his left hand, and his right hand was covered with cold air, the vitality of the wood appeared on the surface of the body, and the chaotic golden qi was ready to be launched in the dantian.
Before the Baizhang stone sword fell, he saw that a leaf had risen in the sky and faced the sword head-on.
The stone sword fell like a bamboo, but it came to an abrupt end at the moment when it came into contact with a leaf of flesh.
Yiye held the tip of the sword tightly with both hands, and stiffened the stone sword blessed by mana with his body of Weimo. The swordsman held the hilt of the sword and continued to increase the mana into it, and the weight of the mana stone sword increased by more than ten times for each additional penny.
To the swordsman's shock, no matter what he did, the stone sword in his hand could not fall a single bit, and from a distance, the hundred-zhang long stone sword stopped diagonally in mid-air.
Yiye saw that the swordsman had nothing to do, and the palms that clenched the tip of the sword were exerting force. Under the incredulous gaze of the swordsman, a huge crack began to spread rapidly from the tip of the sword.
Seeing that the cracks spread all over the sword body, he knew that the swordsman was powerless.
At this moment, the fire was enough, the time had come, Yiye threw away the stone sword and retreated, and before the stone sword fell to the ground, a chaotic golden qi came out of his mouth, cutting the stone sword into two pieces in mid-air.
The swordsman poured out all his mana in this move, which was for the strongest blow, and when he saw his stone sword breaking, he knew that he had already gone to the momentum.
At this time, the swordsman collapsed to the ground due to the loss of strength, spitting blood from his mouth and his breath was sluggish. Kazuha slowly approached, wanting to kill him.
"I'm in a hurry, so I'll say it as soon as I have any last words. Ichiha looked at the dying swordsman condescendingly, and there was no trace of unnecessary pity in his heart.
"I lost," the swordsman spat blood as he spoke, and it seemed that the dark power from the stone sword had caused him to suffer a lot of internal injuries.
"You are very strong, but after all, it is only a flash in the pan, and your exercises will kill you. "In the previous battle with Yiye, the swordsman had already seen that Yiye had practiced the Five Elements Divine Duel. In the swordsman's cognition, no one can rank supreme with this exercise, igniting the divine fire, and all those who intend to go against the tide will not die well because of the conceit in their hearts.
"Your last words don't seem to have the slightest meaning," Yiye directly took the swordsman's life with one palm, not wanting to listen to his nonsense anymore.
Yiye originally thought that this swordsman was a character, so he was given a chance to say his last words, but judging from the words of this swordsman, he was just a mediocre person.
After Ichiha killed the swordsman, the Chenjun army behind also caught up. The purpose of Yiye's trip was to send Shen Shumeng to the border pass to each other, so he just set off to find Shen Shumeng and ignored the pursuers behind him.
Yiye flew all the way along the official road, and after a while, he saw Shen Shumeng, who had been blocked by another army from Chenjun at this time.
When Yiye arrived, Shen Shumeng had been surrounded by hundreds of people, although her strength was better than that of a single soldier, but she could only support herself under the siege of everyone.
Yiye knew that the pursuers behind him were about to arrive, so he immediately entered the crowd to rescue Shen Shumeng, snatched a military horse from the side, and escorted Shen Shumeng away.
An hour later, Yiye repelled hundreds of Chenjun soldiers and caught up with Shen Shumeng in front again.
"There will definitely be troops blocking the official road ahead, and we need to rush through the jungle to the border. Yiye shouted to Shen Shumeng in the air, and the military horses under Shen Shumeng could shuttle in the jungle.
Shen Shumeng below did not respond to Yiye, nor did he change the direction of the military horse.
"What are you doing?" Yiye saw that Shen Shumeng didn't listen to dissuasion, and wanted to reprimand.
In Yiye's gaze, the military horse below had a slight bump due to the bumpy road, but Shen Shumeng on it fell straight from the horse's back because of this.
Yiye finally realized that the situation was wrong, and immediately went down to catch Shen Shumeng, who was about to fall.
Shen Shumeng didn't react during the whole process, it turned out that she had passed out without knowing when.
Although he knew that Shen Shumeng's situation was not optimistic, Yiye knew that he didn't have time to help her deal with her injuries now. One leaf slapped one palm on the military horse, and the military horse immediately galloped away along the pipeline, and one leaf carried Shen Shumeng into the jungle on his back, looking for the direction of the border pass and running at great speed.
In order to avoid being caught up by the pursuers behind him, Ichiha ran non-stop all day.
At first, Yiye didn't plan to stop his pace, but Shen Shumeng's breath became weaker and weaker, so in order not to worry about her life, Yiye could only find a remote place for Shen Shumeng to adjust his injuries.
On the second day, Shen Shumeng regained consciousness, but his injuries were still serious. At this time, Kazuha couldn't stay where he was for too long, because the army of the Chen army was surrounding here from all directions.
The soldiers of the counties in the Tianwu country generally cultivated to only go to the realm of mortals or hearts, and with the combat power of one leaf, they could easily deal with dozens of people. But if you fall into thousands of troops, let your talents run wild, even if you enter the soul realm and Tianjiao is here, you can only hate under the sword, gun and iron horse.
Fortunately, Yiye's decision-making was very decisive, and when the encirclement of the Chenjun army had not been completely closed, Yiye had already chosen a direction and rushed out.
Avoiding the first encirclement and suppression, Yiye had not been carrying Shen Shumeng for half a day, and they were discovered by the sentry post in front of them, followed by the pursuit of troops from all sides.
In the next few days, Yiye continued to fight his way out of the encirclement and was trapped again one after another, and in the process, Yiye caused no less than thousands of casualties, and he himself was also traumatized.
The large number of casualties did not make Chenjun give up the pursuit of Shen Shumeng, but instead invested more troops to encircle and intercept them, so that Yiye's current speed is far less than before, so it seems that it will take more than half a month to reach the border pass, which is still the result of the situation not continuing to deteriorate.
However, the more afraid you are, the more you come, and soon the news came that Chenjun sent an additional 30,000 soldiers and horses in this direction, and carried out a stall-style search and siege of Yiye and the two in the name of killing Zizhen's spies. Not only that, but it seems that he felt the strength of Ichiha, and the military of Chenjun also sent Yuxin Sanjie to kill Ichiha.
Under the torture and interrogation of Yiye, a soldier who was captured told Yiye the news about this heart-by-heart Sanjie. It is said that these Youxin Sanjie are the three strongest Youxin realm monks in the Chenjun army, and each of them is known as a hundred enemies in the same realm.
On the second day of Yuxin's arrival, Kazuha had an encounter with them.
The three of them rushed to learn of Kazuha's whereabouts, and the army behind them was pulled away by the three of them.
The first time Ichiha saw these three young men, he knew that they were not ordinary Inner Heart Realm cultivators. After escaping but failing to get rid of the trio, Kazuha is determined to dispose of them first.
Yiye knew that he couldn't stay in one place for long, so he used all his strength at the beginning of the fight with the three of them, and he didn't want to hide the Five Elements Divine Determination that he practiced.
In the case of Yiye's unreservedness, within fifty rounds, one of the three heroes was shot through the chest by Yiye's golden gun. The two sides did not fight a hundred moves in total, and all the three heroes of the heart were taken by Yiye, and the corpses scattered in the jungle were soon found by the chasing soldiers.
The swift death of Yuxin Sanjie made Tatsugun realize that the situation was not good, and he knew that he had seriously underestimated Ichiha's strength.
Now there is no extra army within a radius of 100 miles here, and a large number of troops in Chen County are guarding against the border army, and it is impossible to easily mobilize and deploy just because of chasing and killing one and two people.
However, the Chenjun side knew very well who they were chasing, and the current situation did not allow them to give up, so a bounty order quickly spread in the Chenjun.
It wasn't long before I learned the news from a mercenary. It turned out that Chen Jun issued a wanted warrant for Yiye and the Shen brothers and sisters on the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason within its scope, and at the same time offered an unusually high reward to the two. Since then, as soon as the news came out, it was no longer the army that hunted down the two of them, but more mercenaries from nearby and a large number of idle monks.
Originally, in the face of the encirclement and interception of the Chenjun military, Yiye could still barely deal with it, and was able to gradually approach the border. However, with the addition of mercenaries and casual cultivators, Yiye instantly became unable to move an inch.
These mercenaries and casual cultivators are more adapted to the jungle environment than soldiers, and their cultivation and fighting methods are strange, making it difficult for Yiye to adapt for a while.
A day of forced advance, but the effect is unusually weak, a leaf knows that he can't go on like this, and there must be only more levels and countless enemies waiting for him in front of him.
After some careful consideration, Kazuha decided to change direction and take a detour. Although you need to walk more distance, as long as you hide your whereabouts, you should not be hindered too much.
At first, Kazuha went all the way north to the border pass, and his purpose was easily known to the enemy, and Tatsugun had already set up many obstacles along the way. But Yiye suddenly changed direction now, but all the forces lost Yiye's whereabouts for a while.
Seven days had already been spent on the way to escape, and at this time, Yiye and Shen Shumeng were sitting cross-legged in a hidden cave to heal their wounds.
In fact, Yiye didn't suffer any particularly serious injuries all the way to kill, but the swords, guns, and sword marks on his body were unavoidable.
On the contrary, it was Shen Shumeng, who had been carried by Yiye, her situation at this time was very unoptimistic, she was originally seriously injured because of Zizhen's attack, coupled with the long-distance travel and the aftermath of the battle, she could only barely maintain consciousness at this time.
"Go and help me find water," Shen Shumeng's voice was already very weak, but it still sounded like that commanding tone that Yiye hated.
Although she instinctively didn't want to pay attention to it, because she was afraid that Shen Shumeng would really lose her life like this, Yiye still decided to help her find water to continue her life.
Ichiha got up and walked out of the cave and carried a boulder to seal the entrance. He didn't want to be the moment he went out, and the weakened Shen Shumeng would become the food in the mouth of the fierce beast.
Although it was already midnight at this time, in order not to expose his whereabouts easily, Kazuha just walked through the surrounding jungle, hoping to find a water source as soon as possible.
Yiye was very fast in the jungle, and he quickly searched a radius of several miles, but he still didn't find a water source that could be drunk for Shen Shumeng.
"Why don't you just use your mana to trick her," Kazuha thought.
In fact, it is also possible to summon water by using water mana, but this kind of water is essentially different from existence in the real sense, after all, only the legendary immortals can do the creation of things.
"Forget it, let's go back. "At this time, it has been a quarter of an hour, Yiye can no longer delay, if something happens to Shen Shumeng, then the previous efforts will be in vain.
Yiye turned around and was about to go back to the cave, but saw a black demonic qi flying towards him with a rapid speed.
This attack came too suddenly, and Ichiha didn't feel it at all. At this time, the demonic qi is coming, and the speed is too fast, and there is no chance for Yiye to dodge.
With a movement of his mind, the flame armor blessed by the heavenly fire appeared on the surface, and Yiye condensed mana in his chest with the intention of forcibly taking the blow.
However, Yiye obviously didn't realize the power of this demonic qi, and the moment he came into contact with it, Yiye's entire body flew out sideways.
Yiye's retreating figure was difficult to stop for a while, and it finally fell to the ground after breaking more than a dozen trees.
Ichiha propped up his body with his bloody hands, and the pain in his chest caused a cloud of blood to gush out of his mouth.
Ichiha's aura was already disordered, and when he looked up, he saw a figure emerging from the jungle.
This person was dressed in a white robe and held a feather fan, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw his appearance.
This person is the jade-faced man who appeared in the Feijia Inn a few days ago, according to Hei Jiao's speculation, he and the woman should be both demon cultivators, but the woman did not appear here at this time.
Yiye looked at the jade-faced man with a solemn face, since the previous blow, Yiye knew that this person's strength was definitely difficult for him to resist.
According to Yiye's observation, this jade-faced man's cultivation has been in the realm of entering the soul for a long time, and he has the strength to far surpass this realm.
For ordinary Soul Realm cultivators, Yiye naturally does not have the slightest fear, even if it is a high-level Soul Realm, Yiye also has the power to fight.
But Kazuha knows that all these assumptions are based on the situation of genius against ordinary people. If the other party is also a gifted person, then the so-called crossing the border against the enemy is very ridiculous.
"If you can resist my move, you deserve to be a devil. The jade-faced man approached Yiye step by step, and at this time, his whole body was covered with magic patterns, and he completely lost his previous well-dressed appearance.
"Can you tell me why you killed me?" Although he was in danger, Kazuha still wanted to know why this man wanted his life. This place is already hundreds of miles away from the Flying Armor Inn, what is the reason for this person's behavior.
"Oh?" the jade-faced man was slightly puzzled, and then smiled at the evil ghost, "It seems that your witch didn't tell you..."
The jade-faced man's words came to an abrupt end, only to see him suddenly fan his feather fan, and a black demonic wind swept towards Yiye, "You don't need to know!"
Seeing this, Yiye immediately dodged and dodged, but his lagging right foot was still swept away by the demonic wind, and a large piece of flesh and blood was peeled off in an instant.
The sudden attack of the jade-faced man was completely unexpected, and Yiye wanted to delay time to find a way to break the enemy, but now it seems that the other party does not give himself a chance to breathe at all.
"Do you think I don't know your mind?" The jade-faced man saw that his plan had achieved results, and quickly stepped forward to take Yiye's life.
Yiye ignored the sharp pain in his feet, and struggled to stand up, condensing his mana in his right arm and punching with all his might.
The two fists met, and Yiye retreated again and again under the action of a powerful force, and only stopped the trend after retreating more than ten zhang. Because of the serious injury on his foot before, Yiye lost his strength for a while and half-knelt on the ground.
Looking at the jade-faced man again, his situation was much better than that of Yiye, but black blood oozed from his fist, and his body stabilized after taking a few steps back.
But it is not difficult to see from this that although the jade-faced man did not suffer substantial damage, he did not achieve an overwhelming advantage in the first confrontation of physical arts.
The cultivation of the jade-faced man is far better than that of Yiye, but this does not mean that Yiye's physical skills must not be comparable to him.
In the realm of going to the mortal realm, Yiye's physical body has laid an incomparably solid foundation under the tempering of Tianhuo, even if he is a genius of Zhuang Xiu's physical technique, he doesn't dare to say that he will definitely be able to defeat Yiye, after all, not everyone has the opportunity to use Tianhuo to quench his body.
At this time, Yiye also understood this, and his powerful physical skills made him feel hope again.
Regardless of whether it can succeed or not, Yiye can no longer have the slightest hesitation. Yiye burst out with the strength of his whole body, holding a waist knife and rushing towards the jade-faced man.
For the strength of Yiye's physical body, the jade-faced man was very shocked. Looking at Yiye, who was rapidly approaching him, the jade-faced man did not retreat, but he did not intend to physically confront him, but only stretched out a hand and used his mana.
When Yiye was on the verge of being within the range of three zhang, an incomparably powerful force burst out from the jade-faced man's hand, sweeping everything in front of him in an instant.
Yiye felt like he was sinking into a powerful wave of qi, and his entire body rolled backwards at a speed ten times faster than when he came.
By the time Ichiha pushed away the dirt buried on his body, the waist knife in his hand had disappeared, and the sand and dust in the sky had not yet dispersed, and a black demonic qi was about to penetrate Ichiba's eyebrows through the sand and mist.
Yiye had experienced the power of demonic qi before, and he knew that it was impossible to resist easily. Yu hurriedly leaned over to dodge, and after being cut off a strand of black hair, he narrowly avoided the fatal blow.
Yiye hurriedly looked at the direction where the demonic qi was flying, but because of the sand and dust around him, he couldn't see the figure of the jade-faced man.
The obstruction of the view around the area is undoubtedly more and more detrimental to Yiye. The jade-faced man is a cultivator of the Soul Realm, and the existence of divine consciousness can simply ignore the cover of sand and dust. In this case, in front of the jade-faced man, Yiye is undoubtedly a blind man, like a fish waiting to be slaughtered on a knife board, without any resistance.
