Chapter 427: Night Killing (5)
The geese returned to the building.
The Great Elder's originally ruddy face had lost a trace of blood.
He had calculated everything, and regarded the throne of the Sect Master as his own. But he never imagined that those chess pieces that were supposed to be his help would inexplicably become other people's tools.
The saddest thing is that he didn't even notice it in the slightest, and until this man named Tang An opened his mouth to confide in the whole plan, he was still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival.
And now, the dream wakes up, and the heart is broken.
If he had been careful, maybe it wouldn't have ended as badly as it is now. It's only to blame that he was too eager for quick success, and when victory was within reach, he relaxed all his vigilance. The disappearance of Ying Xie is the best warning in itself, but in the face of great temptation, he chose to turn a blind eye.
At the moment when he was closest to success, he heard the most cruel bad news. He knew that he had been defeated, and even if he killed everyone in front of him, he would not be able to make up for his loss.
Datang's troops have already arrived in the city, and the best choice now is to flee as fast as possible, but what about after escaping?
He couldn't go back to the Divine Martial Sect, because the people of the Holy Sect would definitely wonder: why did the sect leader and the three elders die, but he is still alive?
He also can't go back to the royal court, because the royal family of Xia Kingdom will also wonder: why did Dima City become a dead city, but he was alive?
He couldn't go to the Huns, because he couldn't withstand the wrath of the Hun Khan: why did the Tang army, which was still breathless, wipe out all the forces of the Xiongnu in Eastern Xinjiang in one go, and all this was a game laid under his nose, he didn't know anything about it, and he was still alive?
These three forces, any one of them will tear him to shreds.
One thought had already turned him from the high-ranking Great Sect Master of the Shenwu Sect - a person who even almost became the leader of the Sect - to a dog who could only hide in Tibet.
The initiator of all this is the man with a hateful smile in front of him!
He had never felt so cold, and the warm spring geese returned to the building, like an ice cellar, making him completely cold from his body to his heart. In an instant, he seemed to be dozens of years old, and his long black hair quickly turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Such a change made the four people present slightly surprised.
Tang An's face was full of victors' smiles, and he smiled: "The story is over, why don't you applaud?" No politeness at all. β
Of all the people present, I am afraid that Tang An was the only one left who could be so relaxed, because whether it was Ling Bingyan, Su Mei'er and Mu Rong, they all felt the change in the aura of the Great Elder.
The Great Elder's chest rose and fell sharply, and a sickly flush appeared on his pale face as he imagined his tragic endβit was indescribable anger.
Even when he learned that the woman he loved was in love with another man, he didn't feel so angry. It was as if there was a volcano in his body, and the raging rage was rampaging through his limbs, and he felt like he was going to explode at any moment.
"I always thought I was a cautious person, and all my life, I spent my life in care. People like me deserve more, and if it weren't for you, I would have been worshiped by the entire Xia Kingdom in the future. β
The Great Elder took a slow step and stretched out a pair of old hands tremblingly. He slowly looked at the hands that were supposed to point out the direction for the Xia Guoren, and showed a self-deprecating smile: "You ask me, should I applaud this story?" Haha, a story that made me fall off the altar, do you think I should applaud? β
Tang An blinked, revealing an innocent expression, but secretly raised his vigilance.
"Why shouldn't it? When I entered the house, you asked me if your plan was perfect, and my story told you: my plan was more perfect than yours. Are you stingy with applause for such an impeccable plan? β
"My hands could have done a lot of things. I can caress the body of the woman I love the most, I can point to the distant Tang Dynasty, let thousands of iron hooves follow the direction of my fingers, and I can hold the jade staff of the sect leader that symbolizes supreme power. But now, I can't do any of these things, hahahahaha, I can't do anything..."
The Great Elder slowly closed his palms, revealing a hysterical laugh, not knowing whether he had seen the illusion that should have belonged to him, or whether he had mocked his patheticism.
He laughed so wildly, but there was sadness in the laughter that could not be concealed. He staggered like a drunken madman, his hair tied with his headband thrown aside, and his white hair flew like a madman.
This kind of performance makes everyone feel the danger. The overwhelming killing intent was like an all-pervasive cold wind, and it rushed towards Tang An together.
Mu Rong took a step without a trace, silently blocking in front of Tang An, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his indifferent eyes.
She knew that this was probably the most formidable opponent she would face in her life.
Smiling and smiling, the Great Elder suddenly paused. Taking a deep breath and raising his head with a grim gaze, he slowly raised his hands and said, "Now, there is only one thing left for my hands to do..."
Through the white hair blocking their foreheads, everyone was shocked to find that the Great Elder's white eyes had turned a terrifying red.
"Kill you!"
An almost roaring roar, with endless killing intent. The Great Elder, who could no longer bear the anger in his heart, finally made a move.
"Be careful!"
Ling Bingyan and Su Mei'er shouted almost at the same time. They wanted to do something, but they couldn't exert any strength in their bodies, so they could only be in a hurry.
Mu Rong didn't say anything, but blocked Tang An like a wall, no matter whether it was the world-famous Shenwu Sect elder or thousands of troops in front of her, they couldn't let her move a bit.
Looking at the woman in white in front of him, the Great Elder was even more angry.
He knew the identity of this woman, and before today, her master was the person he hated the most.
The feelings he had carefully hidden in his heart were shattered by her master.
He dreamed of one day being able to stand on the highest peak, letting Ling Bingyan know how wrong he was back then, but no matter his martial arts or status, he seemed to never be able to catch up with that man's footsteps.
The conspiracy he worked so hard to brew made him see the hope of power in the world for the first time, but he died because of this guy named Tang An.
At this moment, there was only killing intent in the eyes of the Great Elder. Even if he will have nothing, let these two people die with him - especially Tang An!
"Bang!"
The two fought hard without any fancy, and Mu Rong obviously suffered a loss in strength, and "Boom" retreated four or five steps in a row. She raised her head in horror, she never expected the Great Elder's skills to be so powerful.
He didn't have the heart to sell out his mastery at all, and let his violent skills pour out, simple and rude. Mu Rong had no doubt that if he didn't have this natural barrier, he would definitely tear Tang An alive.
"Sister Fairy, I'll leave it to you!"
Tang An swallowed his saliva, but he didn't even pay attention to the two who were still fighting, opened the door and turned around and ran!
Such a greedy and fearful behavior of death, let alone Ling Bingyan, even Su Mei'er was stunned.
A girl in another family will not hesitate to risk her life and fight with the Great Elder for your sake, even if you can't help anything, you won't run for your life alone, right?
Ling Bingyan looked at his back as he fled in a hurry, only to realize that this guy didn't know martial arts at all. made a light and breezy master style before, and he was acting at all! It's ridiculous that Su Meier is smart, how could she fall in love with such an embroidered pillow who doesn't understand martial arts?
"Mei'er, he's a liar!"
"I know." Although Su Mei'er didn't understand Tang An's actions, she still had a smile on the corner of her mouth: "But I'd rather be deceived by him..."
