Chapter 170: Before the Decisive Battle
Over the vast swampy mountains and forests, more than 30 optimus cranes are suspended in the air, forming a semicircle from east to west and slowly flying over the undulating mountains and forests, giving people a huge sense of deterrence in the majestic heavy rain. The sword witch riding on the back of the Optimus Crane was tightly wrapped, only revealing the colorful face under the hood, and with the sound of thunder for a long time, strings of blue thunder and fire fell down, and the lush canopy of the dark pine below the explosion was torn apart, leaving only a bare canopy, so that the sword cultivator below could not use the cover of the woods to dodge.
The three optimus cranes swooped forward slightly, flying in front of a hill full of dense trees, and when they were still adjusting the height, a person suddenly rose in the canopy in front of them, and with a sword roar, the body of a superstar suddenly swelled and exploded into a ball of blood, and then the person quickly hid in the canopy and fled before the thunder fire of the sword witch counterattacked, and the remaining two optimus cranes had no intention of chasing, just raised their bodies, and waited for the rear optimus cranes to replenish and continue to bombard the canopy.
This is Heze, this is the ninth day that Yunchen and the others entered Heze, and it is also the fourth day after the rain. Ni Shang hid at the entrance of the canyon, looking into the distance through the gaps between the branches and leaves, she naturally couldn't see the sword witch, but she could see the flash of thunder and fire, the sound of explosions and the sound of the canopy collapsing, all of which showed that the sword witch was getting closer and closer to them, and also made the sword cultivators hidden in the canyon panic, Ni Shang was worried that Yunchen had been out for three days and had not returned.
Compared to the panic of the sword cultivators, the sword witches were no better, even if they rode the Optimus Crane high, but the heavy oil paint on their faces concealed the apprehension on their faces, because they didn't know if the Optimus Crane under their seat would suddenly explode, since they started to search for sword cultivation in this swampy mountain forest, ten Optimus Cranes have been sneak attacked in the past four days, and they are all sure to explode with one blow.
The distance that the sword witches rely on to survive has no advantage under the terrifying sword aura of that sword cultivator's ultra-long exertion distance, as long as they want to explode the canopy below, then, that sword cultivator only needs to stealth in the canopy and rise slightly to attack them, so they are now three optimus cranes form a team, two bombing, and one person directing thunder to the sword, always carrying it.
Yun Chen ran a few hundred meters away in the dense forest in one breath before jumping back to a tree canopy and looking behind him, the sword witch really did not pursue, which made his face show a trace of worry, until two days ago after he killed a rashly pursuing Optimus Crane, in the past two days, no matter how provocative he was, the sword witches have maintained enough patience to maintain the formation, making it difficult for him to find a chance to start.
"This rain doesn't go on forever. Yunchen looked at the light rain in the sky that had become like a mist and the sky had become brighter, and muttered to himself, and then his eyes fell on the Bai Ze sword engraved with the word "Xiu" in his hand, the dark cyan sword body was already covered with fine cracks, maybe he only needed to use his sword qi again, and this Bai Ze sword would be reimbursed again.
Yunchen turned over and got off the tree, returned to the hills on both sides of the canyon where they were hiding, found Liudao and Huangpujin hiding here, stretched out his hand and shook the rain flying in front of him and said, "There is not much time left for us. β
"Yes, it looks like the rain is about to stop!" Liudao always thought that Yunchen was able to kill the Optimus Crane with the help of this rain, and once the rain stopped, they would no longer have the existence of a sword witch in the sky......
Yunchen shook his head, "If it doesn't rain, it won't have much impact on my sneak attack on the Optimus Crane, I'm worried about you," Yunchen said and looked in the direction of the canyon where everyone was hiding, "If it doesn't rain, no accident, the sword witches should release the poisonous gas, it will be safer and more effective than they are searching like they are now." β
Liudao Emperor Pu Jin's face tightened when he heard this, yes, because of the rain in the past few days, the sword witches have not had a chance to release the poisonous gas, once the rain stops, it is almost certain that the sword witch definitely has the ability to let the poisonous fog fill this mountain forest.
"Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to take them out and scatter around, and run back to count a few. Huang Pujin gritted his teeth and hardened his heart and said.
Yunchen continued to shake his head, "It's not that they run, but I want you to run, dozens of sword cultivators run together, I don't believe they can still hold their breath!"
"Yunchen, the rain is about to stop, I'm afraid that the sword witches will release poisonous gas to force us out. Yun Xiu walked up to Yun Chen and whispered. Yunchen didn't speak, but looked at the five hundred pairs of eyes full of hesitation, their legs had been soaked and swollen because they had been soaked in water for a long time.
"I still need twenty good light skills, if you think you have good light skills, please stand up. As soon as Yun Chen finished speaking, Tian Huannan stood up more than a dozen of them from the two sects, but there were only Yun Xue in the Yuncheng Sect, Yun Rong Yunxiu and Shangguan Yunming stood up, of course, Ni Shang Yun Jing couldn't wait to stand by Yun Chen's side.
Yun Chen returned the Bai Ze sword on his waist to Yun Xiu, pulled out the Bai Ze sword on Yun Rong's waist with his backhand and inserted it into the scabbard on his waist, and said to Yun Rong Yunxiu Yun Ming: "Your light skills are not good, stay here, take advantage of the darkness to find some branches and leaves, and seal the openings on both sides of the canyon and the top as much as possible, at least seal it for a distance, enough for you to hide." β
Yun Rong was about to ask why, Yun Xiu grabbed her, Yun Xiu understood what Yun Chen meant, Yun Chen wanted to lure the sword witches in the air out of this area before the rain stopped, giving them a chance to live.
After Yun Chen finished speaking, he led the people selected by the six Dao Emperor Pu Jin, went out of the canyon to the hill next to him, and summoned the two elite disciples who were hidden on both sides before, a total of more than forty people stood in front of him, although most of these people did not know Yun Chen, but with Yun Chen's ability to kill high-altitude sword witches, and under the pursuit of so many sword witches, they were still deeply admired.
Yun Chen first said to Yun Jing and Yun Xue: "You guys, you can't come with us, I'm not sure if you can lure all the sword witches away, so after dark, you have to take advantage of the chaos caused by our actions, and lurk behind the sword witches in the area they have searched, once the rain stops and you find that there are sword witches releasing poisonous gas, you will find a way to lurk close and kill them, I estimate that it is unlikely that the released poisonous gas will be released in the air." β
Yun Jing was about to object, but when she saw Ni Shang and Yun Xue, she nodded her head, so she had to reluctantly say "oh", and she instinctively rejected any order that Yun Chen wanted to break her away.
"The rest is our business," Yunchen turned around and looked at the forty elite disciples of the Tianqi Nanli Two Tai Sects, including the Six Dao Emperor Pu Jin," Our task is to form a dozen squads, hide in different places, wait for my orders, show up together, make as much noise as possible, and scatter towards the west, in between, you have only one purpose, that is, to keep running towards the west, even if your companions are caught up by the sword witch and fall to the ground, don't care, run as far as you can, try to attract as many sword witches as possible out of this area. β
"If any of us were alive, where would we go to find you? Liu Yan beside Liudao asked, although he knew that if he was discovered and caught by the Sword Witch, the chance of survival was really slim.
Yunchen saw everyone's sad faces, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face, " It's not that if you still have anyone alive, but most of you will survive, as long as you survive a day and a night, if nothing else, after a day and a night, the sword witches should go back to fight the fire, and then you will go north, waiting for us at the edge of this swampy mountain forest, please remember, so far, our goal is still Moyang Village, I have already asked, Moyang Village, is the largest elixir production area in the Heze region, where to fish once, enough for us to send all the same people out of Kaiyangguan. β
Speaking of which, Yunchen can know this, and he has to thank Yunlin Yunliang Yunchang and the three of them who have been torturing the sword witch, under the repeated torture of the three of them, the sword witch who can't even want to die finally didn't stand up, and said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said, Yunchen finally knows what kind of enemy Yutai Yongjun arranged for them, a stockade that can dispatch forty optimus cranes at a time, and there will never be more than five in the Heze area, such a huge defense force, if there is no oil and water to fish, Yunchen will not believe it, he just hopes that the evil monk in Hongxing will not drop the chainγ
The forty sword cultivation disciples standing in front of Yun Chen didn't know where Yun Chen's confidence came from, but when they saw the leader of the Six Dao Emperor Pu Jin, they all hugged their fists towards Yun Chen and received their orders. As soon as Yunchen waved his hand, the forty people immediately dispersed, in groups of threes, threes, twos, twos, looking for a suitable place to hide, and sat and waited for dark.
In the air more than ten miles away from the east where Yunchen was hiding, there were still six or seven huge cranes floating in the air, and it was not difficult to see from the gray-brown feathers that this was a group of dragon cranes ridden by a group of disciples of the Sword Cultivation God Sect.
"It's time for the rain to stop. He reached out to touch the misty rain falling in the twilight and said with a cruel smile on his face.
"Yes, at this time tomorrow, we can go and collect the corpses of those Xuanzong Taizong disciples. A disciple of the Divine Sect riding on another crane said with a smile, in the eyes of their group of disciples of the Divine Sect, those disciples of Xuanzong Taizong are like ants, they come here to consume the strength of the Sword Witch, every year after the disciples of Xuanzong Taizong are killed and injured in the fight between Heze and the Sword Witch, it is when their Divine Sect disciples march towards Heze and earn the benefits of the fisherman.
"Senior Brother Shantai, it's a pity for your little beauty, hehehe, but I hope that your rival in love will consume more of Moyangzhai's strength, and when the time comes, we will go back and call the Master, and we will be able to conquer Moyangzhai with a lot of twists and turns, where is the elixir, I'm afraid it is enough for us to exchange tens of thousands of contribution points, I have to say, Senior Brother Lantai's trick to kill people with a knife is really high!" another disciple of the Divine Sect approached and said.
Hearing Ni Shang, Tantai Yongjun's face instantly became gloomy, but there was a touch of sadness in his eyes, and he said in his heart: "So, I've been waiting here, Ni Sheng must know that I'm waiting for her here, as long as she is willing to come out, no one can stop her." β
"By the way, I heard the report of the brothers and sisters who flew in the air and said that they hadn't seen the bald heads of Fukuzawa Temple?"
"It can't be that I was unlucky when I entered Heze, and I happened to meet the sword witch who was patrolling, and a few thunderbolts came down and died. The two Divine Sect disciples joked with each other.
Yutai Yongjun's face turned pale, and he turned back to a junior brother behind him and said: "When you go back, just say what I said, ask the senior brothers in the rear to help search for it, even if the group of bald donkeys is dead, there should always be a corpse left." "Yutai Yongjun will never allow his plan to be unexpected, his every move is controlled by Uncle Changfengzi, which will directly affect the year-end ranking review of his year-end ranking in Cidu Divine Sect, if the year-end audit enters the top three, then he will have the opportunity to be accepted by the Holy Aunt, and it is not impossible to take charge of Cidu Divine Sect one day in the future.
...
At the same time, on the northern edge of Heze, Hongxing took more than 200 disciples of Fuze City to travel day and night, and under the coercion and lure of his big stick and meat food, they were now less than a hundred miles away from Moyang Village.
The abyssal cliffs separating Heze and Qinling have been left behind them, and in the north of them is the vast 100,000 mountains and forests, which are boundless at a glance, representing that they have gone deep into the wilderness, there are no quagmire swamps, no primordial beasts, and no sword witches with painted faces, some are just a road that never ends in the eyes of the disciples of Fuze Temple, full of thorns and rocks.
The leader of Hongxing's sword robe has been hung in tatters by the dense thorns on the road, and a string of Buddhist beads around his neck has not been thrown there, he waved his hand to stop, took out the drawings that were crumpled by him again, compared the surrounding terrain, and when he looked up, he found that the juniors and disciples behind him had all fallen to the ground, and they were already snoring loudly for a while.
"Get up, get up for Lao Tzu. Hongxing stepped forward angrily and kicked Hongye up.
"Senior brother, we have been walking for four days and four nights in a row, I am really sleepy and can't walk, you say eat meat, but you also have to give us some time to go hunting, I haven't even smelled the smell of meat after walking for four days. Hongye hit the scalp and said, ready to be beaten after speaking.
It's just that Hongxing didn't make a move for a long time, Hongxing turned around and looked in the direction of Moyangzhai and sighed, not to mention that the group of juniors and disciples behind him who were not as good as him couldn't hold it anymore, even if he Hongxing didn't just rely on a perseverance to support, but can he rest now? Although Hongxing didn't know what kind of dish Yunchen had prepared for him, but with Yunchen's thief's eyes, Hongxing believed that this dish should be very rich, he was not afraid that he would be too late to grab it, but that Yunchen would not be able to hold on, so that their sneak attack would be meaningless, although after entering Heze and separating, Yunchen has not given him any more ventilation, but one thing is clear to him, Yunchen must hope that he will rush to Moyang Village as soon as possible.
Therefore, Wangmei's trick of quenching thirst and drawing cakes to satisfy hunger must continue to be used, and this group of rabbit cubs must be tricked into hurrying with him in a hurry, but it can't fall short.
"Okay, Lao Tzu has made a bloody investment, after the end of Heze's witch suppression this time, Lao Tzu was expelled by the master of the sect, and he also invited all of you to drink flower wine. β
"Senior brother, what is drinking flower wine?" asked the youngest Hongsheng curiously.
"Stupid, drinking flower wine is a woman who goes to the kiln. Hongye reminded, but he really couldn't believe Hongxing's words, and now Hongye, who put his head on his belt, didn't care so much about whether he would be expelled from going out if he broke the color ring, what he wanted to ask was, "Senior brother, do you have any silver? Drinking flower wine is not enough for the private money you saved for dozens of taels of silver." β
I didn't expect Hongye to be so clear about his private money Hongxing's face was embarrassed, "Let me tell you the truth, this time Lao Tzu's detour is to conspire with the sword cultivation disciples of other sects to make a plan to attack the east and west, lure the snake out of the hole, and go straight to the sword witch's lair, they are doing it in front, and it will be up to us to go straight to the nest in the back, when the time comes, everyone will share the gold and silver that has been robbed, and everyone has the money to visit the kiln ten times!"
"Senior brother, are there nuns waiting for you when you go to the kiln, don't you mutter all day long about how smart the nuns in the nunnery next door to our Fuze Temple are?"
"Haha..." Hongxing laughed and stepped forward to touch Hongsheng's little bald head and said, "Okay, even if there is no then, Lao Tzu will shave the girl's head to find you a feeling." β
"Haha..."In the laughter, a group of monks gritted their teeth again and went on the road, for this group of Fuze Temple disciples who knocked on the wooden fish all day long to read scriptures, and then cultivated, they only knew how people should live wonderfully, they didn't care if they had a chance to get out of Heze, and chanted all day long, "I don't go to hell, who goes to hell" What they care about is whether they have the opportunity to be as wonderful as a mortal once in their life as a monk, and Hongxing, the senior brother, is leading them to fall and fall again, at least let their narrow thinking have begun to be wonderful.
Hongxing stretched out his hand and touched the rain that gradually stopped in the night, and scolded: "This damn rain is finally going to stop for Lao Tzu." β
In the sky above the mountains and forests in the night, the faint fluttering rain weaved a cloud of green smoke, the sword witches had stopped bombarding with thunder and fire, Chu Yu pulled down the hood on his head, touched the sky mixed with feathers and blood, and said with a wicked smile on his face: "When the rain stops, it is the time when you die." β
Chu Yu didn't know why she was so persistent, even if she eliminated this group of sword cultivators, it would be a lost war for her, because so far, she had lost twelve Optimus Cranes, which was completely unimaginable in the past, even if she fought with the disciples of the Divine Sect in the air, it was impossible to lose so many Optimus Cranes, but she wanted to take revenge for the loss of one Optimus Crane, and after losing ten Optimus Cranes, it was even more impossible for her to let go.
Chu Yu knew that the other party's gradual provocation made the flame of hatred in her heart gradually rise, and it had reached the point where it affected her to make a correct judgment, yes, hatred was enough to annihilate all reason.
When Chu Yu understood, it was impossible to stop......
