Chapter Twenty-Three: Attack in the Night

The setting sun is obliquely shining, and there are faint purple clouds fluttering on the mountain peaks in the distance, which is a great spectacle of the Ziyun Mountain Range. On the left thumb peak of the Purple Cloud Sect, a pair of young men and girls stood in front of a cave door, and the two stood side by side, quietly looking at the sky.

The girl was dressed in white, her skin was like snow, and her beauty was indescribable. Under the sunset, the breeze blows, the girl's clothes sway lightly with the wind, and the black and bright hair looks more elegant. From a distance, it looks like a fairy who doesn't eat people.

The young man was dressed in black, with long hair scattered and a long sword on his back. A breeze blew, emitting a blow that obscured his face, and the spike of the sword fluttered gently. What can be covered is the face, and what cannot be covered is the body shape and temperament. Whether it is the tall and burly back, or the unique aura exuded by his body, it all hints that he is an unusual person.

This pair of boys and girls was the golden boy and girl of Fengyuan Town that day. The girl is the first beautiful woman who once made the young men in the town fall for her, and now Xin Ruyi, the inner disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect. The young man is Ma Yilong, who has experienced ups and downs and has become more and more tenacious.

"When I was in Fengyuan Town, I had imagined countless times what it would be like for the two of us to stand together in the evening breeze!, however, I never thought that one day we would stand here together!" Xin Ruyi still looked at the sky in the distance, her tone was soft and calm, but her eyes were full of brilliance, this brilliance had appeared several times in her past life, but every time she appeared when she saw the man beside her.

"The world is impermanent, who would have thought of this! Thinking back to the scenes in Fengyuan Town in the past, it was really like a dream! The moment I left Fengyuan Town, my dream had already woken up, I thought that your dream would continue, but I didn't expect to see you again here!" Ma Yilong's face was completely obscured, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but his tone was full of emotion.

"We have been in Fengyuan Town for so many years, why do you think we don't have the opportunity to enjoy the sunset together like now?" Xin Ruyi turned his head and looked at Ma Yilong with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation.

"You are a flower blooming in spring, but I am like a green leaf in autumn, spring flowers and autumn leaves are in two worlds, although autumn leaves have a heart, they can never decorate spring flowers!" Ma Yilong smiled bitterly and sighed, it was normal for him to make such a metaphor with his talent.

"Who is the spring flower and who is the autumn leaf, who has more heart than whom, that's really hard to say!" Xin Ruyi heard this, smiled bitterly and shook her head, maybe only she knew the meaning of the words, if she didn't have the intention, how could she be here.

"Don't say who has more heart! Now you are still a spring flower, but I have become a fallen leaf in autumn, it is precisely because the fallen leaves leave the branches that I can see spring flowers after a cold winter! Unfortunately, even if the spring flowers have the heart to bow their heads and have mercy, the fallen leaves are afraid and dare not raise their eyes to blasphemy!" Ma Yilong always looked at the sky, and did not glance at Xin Ruyi, but the meaning of the words was already obvious.

Xin Ruyi looked at Ma Yilong in front of him, shook his head helplessly, changed his words, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that it has been less than three months since you started, and you have already broken through the sixth layer of qi refining, you are really a cultivation wizard." Although I have been cultivating hard and have the guidance of my master, I have only only reached the fifth layer of qi refining!"

Ma Yilong smiled indifferently and said half-jokingly: "This is not surprising! I became like this, and my heart had already died." The Taoist classics have clouds, the heart is dead, the spirit is alive, and the spirit is alive, which is why I have made such rapid progress!"

......

In the blink of an eye, the sun had set and the moon had risen, and the sky had completely darkened. On a path leading from the left thumb peak to the right thumb peak, Ma Yilong walked slowly. Being able to meet Xin Ruyi and learn that he was doing well, Ma Yilong was already very satisfied, and he had a matter on his mind.

Different people have different concepts of love, in Ma Yilong's heart, Xin Ruyi is so sacred and cannot be desecrated, before he recovers his appearance, he will never say that he has always loved each other.

Just when Ma Yilong was thinking about his thoughts, there was a slight noise in the weeds more than ten zhang away from the side of the road, and Ma Yilong hurriedly turned his head. In an instant, countless ice picks, flashing with silver light and wrapped in cold air, flew towards him together.

Ma Yilong's mind moved, and a mirror flew out of the storage bag and fell into his palm, which was the middle-level magic weapon that Yan Kui had sent. Ma Yilong lifted the mirror up, and countless rays of moonlight fell into the mirror, turning into several silver rays of light and turning back, shining on the flying ice picks.

Those ice picks were illuminated by the light, and instantly melted, turning into wisps of water vapor that filled the air.

At this moment, a silver light hidden behind the ice pick had already come closer, wrapped in strong wind and smashed into the mirror. The silver light had been completely hidden in the ice pick, and it was only now that the ice pick had dissipated before it was revealed. Ma Yilong could see clearly that the thing that shimmered with silver light turned out to be a high-level magic weapon shaped like a stone.

However, even if you see it clearly, it is useless, the speed of the silver light is too fast, and there is no time to dodge. Ma Yilong's heart was suddenly shocked, and the aura instantly broke out of his body, covering his whole body, and he knew that the mirror in his hand could not stop this high-level magic weapon at all.

"Whoa!"

"Bang!"

The mirror shattered in response, and the silver light hit Ma Yilong's aura cover. The aura cover collapsed under the heavy blow, but at the moment of collapse, Ma Yilong had already jumped out more than ten zhang away, and he could avoid this blow.

As soon as Ma Yilong stood firm, the silver light rushed after him. The long sword behind Ma Yilong's back instantly fell into his palm, and the two sword qi came out side by side, and at the same time, his sleeves flicked, and four earthen walls stopped in front of him.

At the moment when Ma Yilong had just turned into the earth wall, the silver light collided with his sword qi. The light flashed, and the two sword qi collapsed at the same time, and the silver light rushed towards the earthen wall behind. The four earthen walls were also vulnerable, and under the impact of the silver light, they collapsed one after another, turning into smoke and dust.

The silver light castrated unabated, and smashed into Ma Yilong.

Suddenly, a dense wall of smoke appeared in front of Ma Yilong, and as soon as the silver light rushed into the wall of smoke, a small sword flashing with raging flames flew head-on. As soon as the silver light collided with the small sword, it was instantly knocked to the ground, and the light disappeared, revealing its true face, which was a silver-white stone.

And at this moment, a figure more than two hundred zhang away galloped towards here.

There was a light sigh in the grass, and then a black shadow leaped out, and his figure shook a few times before disappearing, and the speed made Ma Yilong dumbfounded. However, Ma Yilong has long been clear who this person is, and it is impossible for anyone else to be besides Wang Xian.

With a move of Ma Yilong's left hand, the silver stone fell into his palm, and at the same time, his mind moved, and the small sword flew back into his arm. After receiving the two things, Ma Yilong waved his sleeves, and the smoke wall dispersed, quietly waiting for someone to come. Ma Yilong had clearly seen the other party's face, it was Yan Kui.

It can be said that it was because of Yan Kui's arrival that Wang Xian, who was hiding in the grass, retreated, and he helped Ma Yilong resolve the crisis in front of him. At this moment, Ma Yilong was once again angry and grateful in his heart, and Ma Yilong faintly felt heartache for the destruction of the mirror sent by Yan Kui.

In fact, Ma Yilong didn't know the inside story at all. Wang Xian's plot caused the mirror to be broken, and to a certain extent, it helped Ma Yilong a lot. Because the moment the mirror shattered and hit the ground, an extremely tiny worm crawled out of the fragments and burrowed into the dirt.

Ma Yilong was fighting the enemy with all his might at that time, and he didn't pay attention to this scene at all. This kind of good guy turned out to be a bad guy, and the bad guy helped a lot, although it is rare, it is not impossible, but Ma Yilong can't imagine it anyway!
