Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Present World

At this time, Ling Rui, who came from Chengdu on a fast horse but didn't know where Ouyang He was going after the Sword Tasting Conference, learned from an innkeeper that an originally abandoned ancient castle on the outskirts of the city had been infested by many strangers in recent days, so he guessed that maybe it was the final place where Ouyang He and the others were taken by the Tang Sect disciples to fight for the Dragon Soul Sword, so when he deduced this, he quickly followed the instructions of the guy and quickly rushed towards the direction of the ghost castle.

"Huh? Miss Ouyang didn't seem surprised. At this moment, in the large stone room where the Dragon Soul Sword was stored in the Ghost Castle, Chen Deng looked at Ouyang He, who had no emotional fluctuations after knowing his true identity, and felt a little surprised.

"Because she has roughly known your identity since she checked the body of 'Chen Deng', and then your clumsy acting skills have given people more reasons to suspect you." Just as Ouyang He was confidently about to open his mouth to briefly state his reasoning, the mysterious black-robed man slowly walked out from behind Tang Ye and said to Chen Deng with a disdainful expression.

"It's you! Your Excellency has killed so many people in the past few days, why do you need to hide it so much now! Ouyang He, whose expression became a little angry, asked the black-robed man in a tough tone, and at the same time, she put her hands behind her back and quietly pulled out the Ningkun sword that flashed with purple light.

"Miss Ouyang, don't worry, you'll find out soon." After speaking, the black-robed man took off the black mask on his face.

"Are you...... Uncle Liu?! When Ouyang He saw Liu Li's familiar face under the mask, she felt a little sudden surprise for the first time today.

"No, the girl is mistaken. Formally introduce yourself, in the lower wind thunder hall master, Wang! Owl! After the black-robed man threw away the mask in his hand, he immediately tore off the disguise mask that was disguised as Liu Li, revealing his original handsome and evil face.

"Wind Thunder Hall...... There are also Huansha Pavilion and Tangmen, what is the purpose of setting up this disgusting Hongmen banquet? Ouyang He felt an invisible pressure from the eyes of everyone staring at him, and his right hand, which was holding the hilt of Ning Kun's sword, also unconsciously oozed sweat from nervousness.

"Hehe, girl, you can take a look at the current situation, since the division of the Tang Dynasty, countries have been fighting each other every year, and the martial arts in the Central Plains are like a plate of scattered sand. My Tang Sect is a century-old famous family, and its strength is second to none in today's rivers and lakes, why should I succumb to those Central Plains sects that can only see the wind and make the rudder bully the soft and afraid of the hard. Now the troubled times are the time when heroes come out, I have a lot of resources, strong financial resources, and talents, and the history of martial arts should now be written by our Shu sect! Tang Ye said to Ouyang He proudly.

"Yes, Miss Ouyang, everyone in Yufeng Villa is known in the world, and I, Chen, also admire the girl's personality very much. If you can join the alliance of our Shu Di Sect, our strength will definitely be improved to a higher degree. When the time comes, wouldn't it be happy to exterminate the rest of the incompetent sects that are struggling in the troubled times and unify the martial arts of the Central Plains? Chen Deng also tried to persuade Ouyang He on the side.

Ouyang He folded her hands expressionlessly and listened to Tang Ye and Chen Deng's boasting in front of her, she couldn't understand that the two people in front of her who seemed to have lost their minds and gone crazy in front of them actually regarded human life like a mustard for an illusory dream of "unifying the martial arts", and then she thought about whether there was any need for such a person to bother more? Looking at the two arrogant faces of Yelang in front of her, she only had pity and helplessness for these two chess pieces used by the Wind Thunder Hall at the moment.

"Don't you want to say something?" Ouyang He looked at Wang Xiao, who was also expressionless beside Tang Ye.

Wang Xiao smiled helplessly after noticing that Ouyang He was looking at him with a "full of expectation" look, and then he ignored Tang Ye's inquiry and took the Dragon Soul Sword off the sword platform, and immediately took it to Ouyang He.

"Didn't the girl come all the way to touch it? This seat is now helping the girl fulfill this wish. Wang Xiao said to Ouyang He with a somewhat chilling smile on his face.

"You...... Why do you know this? Ouyang He was a little surprised that Wang Xiao could tell the purpose of her trip with just one mouth.

Seeing that Wang Xiao sneered and didn't answer her, she didn't pay any attention to it. Looking at the sword body of the Dragon Soul Sword carved with several green dragon patterns and a subtle cyan light in front of her, she took a deep breath and prepared to put her hand on the hilt of the Dragon Soul Sword, thus drawing out the Yang Yan True Qi in the "Emperor Soul Qi" in her body that had been tormenting her for a long time. The moment her slender fingers touched the Dragon Soul Sword, she felt that the Yang Yan True Qi in her body seemed to be strongly attracted by something, flowing out of her body along her right hand holding the sword at an extremely fast speed, and she also felt the mysterious pressure she had been suffering near her heart for a long time, and it was also much relieved at this moment. Ouyang He was overjoyed by the signs of improvement that she had revealed, and she was secretly glad in her heart that she had finally been freed from the pain that had tormented her since childhood.

"Miss Ouyang, we've talked so much, I don't know how you think about it?" When the Yang Yan True Qi in Ouyang He's body had basically been absorbed by the Dragon Soul Sword, Tang Ye stepped forward to ask Ouyang He's plans.

"The two, to be honest, the little woman has no interest in this so-called 'unification of the martial arts' clever plan, the little woman now just wants to go back to the village to weave clothes and embroider, the two of them are probably entrusted to the non-people." Ouyang He interspersed his words with ridicule and disdain for Tang Ye and Chen Deng.

"Hmph, since the girl is so stubborn, I'm afraid the head of this family can't guarantee that the girl will leave the ghost castle alive today." Tang Ye and Chen Deng took a few steps back, and after giving an order, more than ten Tang Sect disciples took out a wide variety of weapons under the leadership of Xun Xi and pressed towards Ouyang He step by step.

Faced with the grim situation of being outnumbered, Ouyang He's eyebrows did not show any timidity or retreat, after all, since she left the villa, she had experienced several disadvantageous situations similar to the current ones. When several Tang Sect disciples roared towards Ouyang He as vanguards, she decisively pulled out her Ning Kun Sword and began to engage several people around her at the same time. Although the injury on her left shoulder made her feel a little difficult to deal with the attack of the Tang Sect disciples, due to the lack of Yang Yan True Qi's oppression and restraint on her heart veins, she gradually felt that there seemed to be more power in her body that she had not been stimulated before, and it was flowing to her whole body at this moment.

"What, she should have been seriously injured in the dungeon before, and she can still be so good in this situation!" When he saw that Ouyang He could still fight stronger and stronger under the siege of the disciples of the Tang Sect, Chen Deng felt very incredible.

His strength and skills were improved as if he had been reborn, and with the blessing of the Ning Kun Sword, which was as light as a swallow, Ouyang He was able to defuse several rounds of Tang Sect disciples' attacks with relative ease. However, when Zhuoxi, whose martial arts were far superior to the disciples of the Tang Sect, joined in with the Emei thorn, Ouyang He still felt very difficult in the contest with Zhuoxi, and several shallow wounds were cut by Zhuoxi on his waist and arms with Emei thorns.

"Hehe, I thought you had made great progress in martial arts, what a disappointment!" Seeing that Ouyang He was still at a disadvantage under his hands, Xun Xi sneered proudly.

Ouyang He covered the wound on his waist and still insisted on fighting with Xun Xi and the Tang Sect disciples beside him, but several Tang Sect disciples secretly used secret weapons like flying claws from all around at this time to attack Ouyang He's hands and feet. When Ouyang He tried his best to dodge several rounds of attacks with his nimble steps, Xun Xi suddenly grabbed a gap and kicked Ouyang He in the chest and kicked her to the ground, and then the surrounding Tang Sect disciples took the opportunity to quickly control Ouyang He's hands and feet with iron chains.

When Ouyang He's limbs were bound by iron chains and he couldn't break free, a pink figure suddenly jumped out of the secret door of the stone room, and at the same time, a golden snake whip wielding in the air knocked the four Tang Sect disciples holding iron chains to the ground one after another.

"Miss, Xin'er is late, are you okay?" Yuxin stood in front of Ouyang He with an angry face in her hand holding the golden snake whip, "You dare to hurt my young lady, watch me teach you a lesson!" ”

"Heh, even your young lady is not my opponent, what are you?" Xun Xi didn't take Yuxin in his eyes at all, and the two of them quickly exchanged hands.

Just as Yuxin and Xunxi were inseparable, the Dragon Soul Sword in the black-robed man's hand suddenly gradually flashed with a faint black-purple light as if it had been sensed by something, and at the same time, Ouyang He also felt a strong internal force that he had never noticed before suddenly burst out from his chest at this moment. She recalled the words that the mysterious old man on Mu Xue Peak had said, and then she wondered if this power that she felt so strong was the Emperor Soul Qi hidden in her body that she really controlled for herself.

"Hehehe...... Hahaha...... Kui Sha Sword, I've been waiting for you for too long! As Wang Xiao laughed to himself behind everyone, the "Dragon Soul Sword" in his hand gradually faded from the camouflage of the cyan sword body and revealed its original appearance. It was a long black and purple sword with a ferocious aura all over its body, the sword grid was decorated with two golden snake heads, and the end of the hilt was made in the shape of the gluttonous head of an ancient fierce beast with its mouth wide open as if it wanted to devour heaven and earth.

"This ...... What the hell is going on, isn't this the Dragon Soul Sword? Tang Ye was stunned from the sidelines.

"Hmph, now that the Kui Sword has been obtained, it's useless for you wastes to keep." After Wang Xiao sneered and finished speaking, he gave an order, and the killers of the Wind Thunder Hall who were ambushed around the stone room suddenly swarmed up and killed the unsuspecting Tang Sect disciples so that they fled with their heads in their hands, and it didn't take long for the Tang Sect disciples around Tang Ye to be killed by the Wind Thunder Hall after a short period of resistance.

"How can this be reasonable, Wang Xiao, I kindly formed an alliance with you, but I didn't expect you to break the agreement, is it really easy for me to bully the Tang Sect?" After Tang Ye finished speaking, he drew his sword and prepared to kill Wang Xiao, but at the moment when he started, a thin sword suddenly stabbed into his body from behind him.

"You ......" Tang Ye slowly turned his head, and he saw that Chen Deng was holding the hilt of the thin sword that had pierced into his body in his hand.

"Master Tang, I'm really sorry, compared to a fool like you, Wang Da is the one who my Huansha Pavilion is really willing to follow." Chen Deng let out a merciless mockery of Tang Ye and then pulled out his sword, Tang Ye's eyes widened and he gradually collapsed to the ground, and then soon died.

Yuxin took the opportunity to get rid of the entanglement of Xunxi, and then she walked to Ouyang He's side and gently helped Ouyang He, who was sweating profusely due to the churning and surging of internal force in her body.

"Master, what about these two people?" Xun Xi asked Wang Xiao for instructions on how to deal with Ouyang He and Yuxin.

"Ouyang He will hand it over to me, and the other one will be as you please!" With a happy expression like a spring breeze, Wang Xiao slowly approached Ouyang He and Yuxin with the Kui Sword in his hand, while Xun Xi and Chen Deng slowly approached them from the other direction.

"Xin'er, ...... Help me to my feet. Ouyang He relied on the support of the Ning Kun Sword and the support of Yu Xin, quickly stood up and raised his sword to open the battle formation, "Lean behind me, let's rush out together, let them know that the women of Yufeng Mountain Villa are also not afraid of life and death!" ”

"Well, Miss, leave it to me behind your back, Xin'er won't be afraid of them!" Yu Xin and Ouyang He stood back to back in the center of the stone room, the overwhelming strength of the enemy at this moment did not make them flinch in any way, but made them more determined and courageous to fight to the death.

"Xiaohe, you must not have an accident, that's ...... Looks like I'm just catching up! Ling Rui nervously rode his fast horse on the country road on the outskirts of the city, and soon he saw the outline of the ghost castle outlined by the faint light of fire as far as his eyes could see, and at the same time, the blade of the unicorn knife on his back also flashed a dazzling cold light against the background of the moonlight at this moment.

Faced with the imminent battle of life and death in the ghost castle, the wheel of fate once again carried the blood and tears of the boys and girls on the path guided by the way of heaven.
