Chapter 19: The Raven Cult's Crisis
It's July, and the sky is blue and the sun hangs like a fireball, and the clouds seem to have been burned by the sun and disappeared without a trace.
The sunlight shone directly between the trees, but in the originally green dense forest, there were a large number of uninvited guests wearing black cloaks, and the patterns of black jackdaws were tattooed on the cloaks.
"Holy Maiden, the stronghold of the capital has been destroyed by the Great Xia Imperial Court, where should we go now?"
The faithful Raven crunched down before a silver-haired woman.
It is the raven saintess, Yin Nanyu.
The skin under her cloak was smooth and white, her eyes were delicate, revealing a little indifference, and she said lightly:
"Go south, we still have a chance."
"Yes!"
Turning his mind, Yin Nanyu looked at the hot sun, narrowed his eyes, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
In fact, she knew that even back in the south, Raven's life would not be easy.
Now that the Raven Sect has been banned by the Great Xia Dynasty, the officials of various states and counties are strictly investigating.
The new emperor ascended the throne, as soon as the king of Qin died, Daxia has stabilized, and the dynasty has devoted itself to exterminating the raven, this time it turned the capital upside down, and no whereabouts have been spared.
Batches of ministers were beheaded, as long as they were officials with suspicious behaviors, they were cleared and detained, and most of their eyeliner was pulled out.
If it weren't for the news of the blockade of the city gate in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to get out of the capital.
After all, the Raven Sect was still unable to deal with the Great Xia Dynasty head-on, and it could not withstand the operation of the dynasty machine, and was defeated.
But the unstoppable pride in her heart has not been extinguished.
As long as you hide for the time being and continue to wait for the opportunity, the ravens may not be able to rise again.
Now that the strength of the Raven Sect has increased greatly compared to before, it will definitely become a giant in time.
Suddenly, there was a tremor on the ground in the dense forest.
The sound of "boom" came from afar.
The subordinate lay on the ground, and after listening for a while, his face was alarmed:
"Holy Maiden, it's the Dragon-Blood Iron Rider and the Cold-Faced Halberd Warrior of Great Xia who have caught up!"
"We are surrounded!"
Yin Nanyu frowned, and said suspiciously: "How is it possible, this time out of the city is extremely hidden, coupled with the secret news with ears and eyes, how can they chase after it." β
Suddenly, she thought of a possibility: "Could it be fake news?" β
The ears and eyes of the ravens revealed that there was a small road, which was absolutely safe, and that the road would not be blocked by the city.
Now that I think about it, this is very likely to be fake news released by Great Xia, in order to catch them all in this place.
"What should we do now, Holy Maiden?" Several high-level sect members hurriedly asked for instructions.
"Prepare for war!"
Yin Nanyu announced lightly.
After receiving the order, hundreds of ravens immediately dispersed and formed a circle.
Yin Nanyu's eyes were as cold as frost, and the true yuan all over her body emanated, showing a silver light.
Hundreds of ravens knelt down together, muttering words in their mouths.
A large circle rose from the ground, and the pale golden light was incomparably bright, forming a thick wall.
"Finally found them."
Outside the dense forest, a tall and mighty black-armored general looked at the rising light in the forest, tightened the reins, and said with a happy face.
"Don't let any of them go."
There was a young man in Dao robe suspended in the sky and said calmly.
It was actually the gatekeeper of the Wuji Immortal Sect, Xu Muchen.
"Got it! I would like to thank my predecessors for this trip. β
The general at the head nodded, with an extremely respectful expression on his face.
This time, the gatekeeper of the Wuji Immortal Sect actually went out in person, which was simply unprecedented.
You must know that the immortal sect generally does not interfere with the world, unless it encounters something particularly serious.
This shows how evil and hateful this raven is, and it must be completely eradicated!
"Tighten the encirclement, gather troops, and prevent a breakthrough!"
The black-armored general said loudly and immediately issued a military order.
The surrounding soldiers are all wearing dark red elite armor, and the war horse under the crotch is very large, and the horse's hair is blood-red, this is the dragon's blood iron horse of Great Xia, which belongs to the Son of Heaven's army, these horses are fed with the blood of spirit beasts, and they have all mutated.
In the front row were large expanses of soldiers with iron ghost faces and halberds, all armed to the teeth, and all of them were full of evil spirits.
As the surrounding armies slowly approached.
The sky suddenly lit up with a faint blue beam.
Splitting and attacking, a large number of beam bullets were cracked, bombarding the Dragon's Blood Iron Rider and the Cold-Faced Halberd.
"Bang!"
The light bomb exploded on the ground, and the flames burst into flames, and together with the trees next to it, the entire dense forest was suddenly plunged into flames.
The soldiers who were bombarded were directly blown into a blood mist, and piles of soldiers fell, and for a while, the losses were very heavy.
"Blow the trumpet! Charge! β
The black-armored general naturally did not want the losses to continue to expand, so he immediately ordered the horns of the charge to be blown.
The dragon's blood iron rider was not afraid of death, and rushed straight forward, holding a spear in hand, pulling the horse forward.
Although the power of the light bullets was great, but the number was always limited, and the Iron Rider took advantage of the gap in time to rush into the place where the ravens were stationed.
In front of him, a solid wall of light blocked the way.
Xu Muchen, who followed closely, waved his hand lightly, scattered a flying light bullet, looked at the block in front of him, and said lightly:
"Insect carving skills."
The blue light converged in the palm of his hand, and a slender spirit sword was formed.
With a wave of his hand, a hundred-meter cyan sword qi shot out, and with a "bang", the shield didn't last long before it shattered, like papier-mΓ’chΓ©.
Without the protection of the wall of light, the spear of the iron rider exuded a cold light.
With just one face, he killed dozens of ravens, cut off their heads, and hung them in front of their horses.
Without Yin Nanyu's guidance, most of the disciples were actually ordinary people, and only a small number of high-level disciples who were monks could still resist one or two.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The black-armored general raised his arms and shouted, and there were already dragon-blooded iron horsemen rushing back and forth around him, each holding an arm crossbow and firing crossbow arrows at the monk remnant.
Thousands of arrows rained down like a tidal wave, shooting fiercely, and the Raven Monk Cultists were mediocre in strength, how could they resist, and they were pierced by sharp swords one after another, and died violently on the spot.
Xu Muchen didn't pay attention to the battle between the disciples and the disciples, but took the sword and stepped into the air, standing in front of the Raven Holy Maiden.
Even in the face of Brother Jindan, Yin Nanyu's pale face was very calm, and he asked solemnly:
"Wuji Immortal Sect, if you interfere with the world, aren't you afraid that the immortals will be punished by heaven?"
Xu Muchen's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a flat face: "In ancient times, all demons, including the Crow Immortal, were mortal enemies of the Immortal Gate, and you, as its remnants, naturally deserved to die. β
"The history written by the victors counts nothing." Yin Nanyu's voice was cold.
Xu Muchen didn't plan to talk nonsense with this demon girl, so he slashed it with a sword.
In the seven years he has been guarding, he has not been so worried about these days.
The sword qi sputtered like light, and Jin Dan slashed straight down with all his strength.
Yin Nanyu didn't know when there was a statue of a crow fairy in his hand, emitting a faint light.
Just fended off the blow.
"What a crow immortal, how can the incense of the fairy gate be touched by your cult?"
Xu Muchen's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, and then the big-sleeved robe shook in the wind, and a brilliant golden pill appeared on his chest.
Yin Nanyu cut her wrist with a knife, blood dripping, and then prayed sincerely with both hands:
"Lord Crow Immortal, send down heavenly punishment to punish these ignorant heretics!"
After saying this, the silver-blue light on her body suddenly skyrocketed, and the blood dripped onto the statue of the Raven Immortal she carried, and the statue also floated for it.
An invisible force swept away.
I saw the corpses of the fallen disciples on the ground, crawling up one by one, and dense black charms spread all over their bodies.
Even if he was missing his head, he stood up miserably, looking very infiltrating.
These corpses rushed towards the iron horseman, jumping more than ten meters high, and with a big hand, he pulled out the heart of a cavalryman.
At the same time, the aura on Yin Nanyu's body was also climbing rapidly.
She was absorbing the power of faith stored in the statue, turning it into a steady stream of cultivation, and a wisp of coercion spread.
Seeing this, Xu Muchen secretly said that it was not good, he had already felt a trace of the taste of Jindan from the other party.
So he raised his sword and struck again.
Yin Nanyu was in a hurry, and the jade hand was raised, which was able to block the sword, but his face was a little whiter.
Every time you mobilize the power of faith, you have to consume your own essence and vitality.
The other party's strength is too strong, so her vitality drops quickly.
"Hmph, the power of Jindan is comparable to those who are fake."
Xu Muchen mobilized the golden pill, and the brilliant golden light spread all over every line of the sword, and the whole person was like a god, extremely powerful.
This sword contains the power of Jindan, which can cut through mountains and rivers.
Yin Nanyu held the statue of the Crow Immortal in his hand, struggling to support it.
But soon, cracks appeared on the pottery statue of the crow fairy.
The vitality was exhausted, and Yin Nanyu's delicate body flew straight out, and the cloak on his head was lifted for it, revealing a face with a national color and fragrance, as well as a head of silver-white hair, fluttering in the wind.
When they were about to land, they were caught by a high-ranking disciple, but the recoil was extremely strong, and the two still fell to the ground.
"Poof."
After this sword, Yin Nanyu's small mouth spat out a mouthful of blood, and the light on his body had dimmed to the extreme, almost to the point of running out of oil and drying up.
Her face turned pale, and she fell to the ground, and the few remaining members of the cultists behind her surrounded her and helped her up.
"Holy Maiden, go first, and we will give you the queen of the palace."
"Great Raven Fairy! Give us power! β
They sacrificed all their lives, all of them turned into cultivation, and their strength increased a lot, which they used to resist Xu Muchen's attack.
Xu Muchen looked at the few disciples in front of him, whose strength had suddenly exploded, and frowned.
One by one, they exploded into a sea of qi and pounced towards Xu Muchen.
Almost desperately came, just to drag on time.
The power of the explosion of the sea of qi was very terrifying, and anyone had to weigh it, so Xu Muchen had to step on his sword to avoid it for the time being.
At this time, the surrounding dragon blood cavalry was holding spears and pointed at Yin Nanyu's snow-white jade neck.
Yin Nanyu had a cold face, and gently brushed his sleeves, and a cold air Zhenyuan hit out, knocking several iron riders away.
She looked at several high-ranking disciples who were loyal and sent to death one after another, wiped the blood stains from the corners of her mouth, and no longer hesitated, there was a black raven totem on her white clavicle, faintly flickering.
Wrapped in a cloud of black light, Yin Nanyu turned into a meteor and soared straight into the sky.
