Chapter 197: Sword Oath
It was still the same hall in the temple gate, and the huge Buddha statue that was supposed to sit on the throne was no longer there. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Like loss, the law is scattered, after all, it is a little less subtle.
But there are also some extra things, such as the cold that seems to freeze people's bodies, and the three corpses that will never wake up again.
This is naturally Shang Gongquan and others who died in the hands of Qin Cang.
At this moment, there are a total of seven people around them, and their aura and clothing are all somewhat similar to them, but for those who have a little eyesight, it is not difficult to find that they belong to the same force as Shang Gongquan and others, the Xuan Demon Gate, one of the eight major demon gates.
The comprehensive strength of the Xuan Demon Gate is not small compared to the Heavenly Demon Gate, the head of the Eight Demon Gates, but it can be firmly ranked among the top three seats, especially with the rise of a group of young and strong people led by Yang Qianfan in recent years, the Xuan Demon Gate has gradually gained momentum, so for this trip to the giant tower, many people speculate that the overall harvest of the Xuan Demon Gate will be in the forefront, and the casualties of the disciples will be extremely low.
However, the truth is always so unsatisfactory, and fate is always full of unpredictable drama, on the first day after the ten outstanding disciples of the Xuan Demon Sect entered the giant tower, three of them touched the mechanism of the implied spatial avenue, and they were out of touch with the team.
But just two hours after Shang Gongquan and the others were separated from the other seven people, their soul cards were shattered together, and the suddenness of the whole process completely exceeded the expectations of all the disciples of the Xuan Demon Sect, and even Yang Qianfan, who was the most promising successor to the position of the master of the Xuan Demon Sect in the future, felt very caught off guard and incredulous.
There is no other reason, he knows very well the strength of Shang Gongquan and others, although they are the cultivation of the early stage of the Dragon Court Realm, but they are all carrying powerful magic weapons and sharp weapons, the three of them join forces, and even the strong people in the middle of the Dragon Court Realm can be successfully killed, this kind of combat power, among the young masters of the Demon Gate who participated in the trip to the giant tower, not to mention the top, can also be regarded as first-class.
However, these three people were killed almost at the same time, causing the soul card carrying a trace of their breath to shatter into powder in an instant, without the slightest possibility of repairing, which undoubtedly means that the souls of Shang Gongquan and others were also wiped out, and there was not a single star left.
There are only a handful of people who can have such strong strength and terrifying temperament among the eight demon gates, and they are all the most outstanding people among the major forces, Yang Qianfan also once regarded Yue Qian, Zhuo Yiran, Qu Busan, Chu Yanshan, Jiang Shuxuan and others as the object of suspicion, but when he carefully investigated the situation here with his soul power, these people were eliminated by him one by one without exception.
The reason is very simple, the residual aura here contains a very complex and esoteric avenue, which does not fit in the slightest with the spiritual skills of Yue Qian, Jiang Shuxuan and others. If some of them deliberately used some psychedelic techniques to forge such an aura and try to cover up the truth, it is unlikely, because no matter how delicate the forgery is, it cannot be perfect, and there will always be some clues.
However, the aura of the Great Dao here is natural, and there is no trace of artificial forgery, all kinds of signs indicate that the death of Shang Gongquan and the others was done by another strange master who he knew little but was powerful.
"Who could it be?" Yang Qianfan's brows furrowed deeply, because he had been practicing swords since he was a child, he always carried a powerful sword intent on his body, and at this moment his brows were deeply locked, like two colorful swords mixed together, and before he knew it, the sword intent became more obvious and sharp, cutting out a few marks on the ground under his feet.
"It has been roughly probed that both Yang Hong and Wei Du suffered very serious trauma before their deaths, causing them to be confused and have no combat power. Shang Gongquan's situation is more special, if my speculation is correct, he should have been directly injured by the murderer with his strength, resulting in many stagnant places in the blood vessels and meridians, and his combat power was greatly reduced, and then he was subdued by the murderer in the case of not being able to react, and finally died. ”
A calm man in a strong suit spoke to himself, his name was Xiahou Thorn, and he was also a popular figure among the younger generation of the Xuan Demon Sect, although his reputation was not as loud as Yang Qianfan, but it was rumored that his strength was not much inferior to the latter. Whether the rumors are true or not is unknown, because in the past ten years, Xiahou Thorn has not had the experience of shooting in front of everyone, let alone having a discussion with Yang Qianfan.
Whether this thorn has become dull in the precipitation of the years, or whether it has become sharper, has always been an unsolved mystery among the eight demon gates.
Interestingly, this mystery that has not yet been understood by others is now using its own analysis to try to solve another mystery for others, and I don't know whether it is unintentional or deliberate by fate.
Yang Qianfan's gaze moved after Xiahou said this, and he looked at Shang Gongquan, Yang Hong, and Wei Du again, and his handsome face revealed a different emotion.
"Zhihai has been hit hard, could it be that this person is still an expert who is proficient in soul attacks?" Yang Qianfan said in surprise.
Xiahou Thorn shook his head: "The method of soul attack is too mysterious and profound, as far as I know, this method has long been almost extinct among the eight major demon gates, and even if you look at the entire southern realm, you can't find a few people who know how to attack souls." I guess that the other party may have used some kind of tricky method to invade Yang Hong and Wei Du's Zhihai with spiritual power, breaking through the limit of what they could bear Zhihai, causing the two of them to be insane and no longer have combat power. ”
"Psychic power...... Among the eight demon gates, the one who is best at using spiritual power should be the Purgatory Demon Gate, and the purgatory requiem that does not go away is to integrate the strange and unguardable spiritual power into the music, and others will be damaged by his music and even the soul if they are not careful. However, I have seen Qu Bu scatter his hand, his aura is very different from the one left here, could it be that it is other hidden masters of the Purgatory Demon Sect?"
Yang Qianfan's face was full of thought, and Xiahou Thorn was also seriously thinking about it.
After half a sound like this, Xiahou stabbed Fang and muttered: "Whether it was done by the hidden master in the Purgatory Demon Gate, it is not yet certain, but as far as the current situation is ugly, they are the most suspicious, and before there is conclusive evidence, it is not good for us to have a head-on conflict with the Purgatory Demon Gate, but we still need to pay attention secretly and act at the opportunity." ”
"It's nature. Yang Qianfan nodded, also agreeing.
After a pause, the sword in his hand was suddenly unsheathed, and the sword qi was in the air, forming a clear and long groan, as if the sword body made of white marble bloomed in Yang Qianfan's hand, Yang Qianfan stared at the sword in his hand, and a trace of cold light emerged in his eyes, as well as the firmness of the river turning day by day.
"I don't have a deep friendship with Shang Gongquan, Yang Hong and Wei Du, but they are my disciples of the Xuan Demon Sect after all, before leaving, the master and the master of the sect have instructed me to protect every fellow disciple as much as possible, but on the first day of entering the tower, the three of them were victimized, I am really ashamed!"
"Now that the murderer is unknown, there is only a general search direction, I can't guarantee that I will be able to find the murderer who killed the three of them, but I can give another promise, once the murderer is found, no matter who he is, what identity he has, and what kind of cultivation he has, I will let him pay for his blood debts and pay the due price!
Boom!
The long sword in Yang Qianfan's hand suddenly hung down, clearly not carrying spiritual power, but it had a huge momentum like the Yellow River swooping down like the Nine Curves, and the hard ground became more fragile than white paper as soon as it came into contact with the sword blade, and in an instant, it was penetrated by the fierce aura carried by the sword blade dozens of zhang deep.
The ground shook and the space shook, but Yang Qianfan's will and determination were the same as the sword oath he had made, extremely firm and unchangeable.
Xiahou Thorn looked at him deeply, and did not give any advice, because he knew Yang Qianfan's temperament very well, if there was one thing in this world that occupied a position in Yang Qianfan's heart and was above the sword, it was only a promise, he was truly a promise, and the promise he made would try his best to fulfill it no matter what method he used and what price he paid.
There is only one exception, which will lead to the invalidity and suspension of his promise, that is, his life is no longer there, there are not a few people who can take Yang Qianfan's life among the eight demon gates, if the scope is expanded to the entire southern realm and even the five extremes of the Xuan Domain, then there are even more people, but most of them are senior-level figures who have practiced for decades or even hundreds of years.
If you talk about the people who can take Yang Qianfan's life one-on-one among their peers, so far Xiahou Thorn really can't think of a few people's names, Yue Qian, Zhuo Yiran, Chu Yanshan, Qu Busan, Jiang Shuxuan and others are very strong, strong enough to compete with Yang Qianfan, but if it is said that it is really necessary to take his life, it is extremely difficult.
For his man is as unyielding and tenacious as his sword.
"Killed three disciples of the Xuan Demon Sect and looted the treasures in their spiritual rings, but they attracted such an enemy that was difficult to get rid of. It seems that you can't call this game a win......"
Xiahou Thorn put his hands behind his back, and such thoughts surged in his heart.
This remark was naturally said to the murderer who killed Shang Gongquan, Yang Hong, and Wei Du, and the fact was just as Xiahou Assassin said, Qin Cang had indeed recruited a powerful hidden enemy for himself this time.
However, such a situation had already been expected as early as the moment Qin Cang decided to understand the lives of Shang Gongquan and others. He has never been a person who acts rashly and impulsively for the sake of momentary pleasure, on the contrary, he is always very calm, and he will think carefully before making a thing, Yang Qianfan's information Qin Cang has already understood, including his temperament.
People who value commitment will naturally not be ruthless and unrighteous, and when a person is affectionate and righteous, then he has weaknesses and places to be used by others.
Qin Cang's purpose was not to make enemies for himself from beginning to end, but to use Yang Qianfan's psychology to lead the spearhead to other people in the Demon Gate.
The truth that cannot be seen is often the most confusing, with many possibilities, and a little operation can cause earth-shattering turmoil.
Using people's affection to do this trick is the most terrifying, the most vicious, Qin Cang originally didn't know this method, but the woman named Snow Light Shadow taught him, and the price he learned was to let his heart and body be full of holes, and almost sink into eternal night.
