Volume 1 The Sword Falls into the Red Dust Chapter 3 The Shadow of the Fire and the Sword
From the beginning of Yan Khotan's cultivation of the truth, he practiced under the Qingling Sect.
To say that Yan Khotan was able to worship in the Qingling Gate, it was also thanks to the strange blessing of his immortal soul, but unfortunately his immortal seed was not good, and the immortal veins were relatively mixed, and he could not fully correspond to the five elements of the immortal soul.
In addition, Yan Khotan's own ambition is not to seek the avenue, so although he is a big worshipper, but after these decades, it is only the realm of Ning Dan.
Now in the face of this tragic scene, Yan Tianhuan is doubly regretful in his heart, if he could put a little more effort into cultivation, then he can barely enter the realm of infant liberation now, although it is still not enough to meet the situation of today's struggle, but at least the ability to protect himself is still several times more.
What's more, now that he is still with two children, it is even more difficult to protect them.
Fortunately, there is Xu Cheng with him, but ......
"Alas, he and I are also half a catty and eight taels......" Yan Tianhuan said silently in his heart.
Due to the shattering of the large array, the two heterofoot foals were now disturbed, and they couldn't be summoned for a moment, taking advantage of this time, Yan Khotan also made a decision in his heart, and then turned his head and said to Xu Chengzhen:
"Xu Cheng, rush out of the mountain, we have to go together, otherwise no one has any hope of escaping!"
Xu Cheng nodded, in fact, he also had the same idea in his heart, the two of them took care of each other, so as to better protect each other and Yifeng Zhiyun's two children.
After about a quarter of an hour, the heteropony finally quieted down, and the great array of golden light and blood in the mountains and fields became deep and dark again.
Many demonic beasts descended from the sky, searching for every living creature in the darkness, trying to devour it all.
Don't stay long!
Xu Cheng and the four of them all had this thought in their minds, so after the heteroped horse calmed down, he immediately turned his horse's head and ran in the direction of the mountain gate.
Along the way, there were constantly demonic beasts roaring from the mountains and forests, mixed with a lot of cries for help and the sound of birds and beasts whistling, Xu Cheng and they understood that this was the mortals in the door, low-level monks, and all kinds of spirit beasts raised in the door, which were attacked by demonic beasts.
But now they are too busy to take care of themselves, and they have no intention of rescuing at all, and they have only one goal in mind, that is, to escape from the door as soon as possible and find another way out.
The speed of the heterofoot horse is very fast, galloping with all its might, no slower than those ordinary fairy boats, but after all, the fairy boat flies in the sky, can not avoid twists and turns, and the volley is more immortal flavor, so most cultivators travel, will choose to fly spirit weapons and riding beasts.
The direction chosen by Xu Cheng and Yan Khotan was the direction in which the Lingzhu Peak Immortal Boat flew, and their purpose was not to catch up with the people of Lingzhu Peak, but to have other plans.
Lingzhu Peak took off and fled without waiting for them to arrive, Yan Khotan knew that this was reasonable, but since they flew away first, Yan Khotan and Xu Cheng thought to themselves that they could just take advantage of this.
After all, the Demon Sect besieged the Qingling Gate, and it was inevitable that it would be impossible to break through the mountain gate and finish the matter, they would definitely divide their manpower and set up an encirclement to intercept the fleeing Qinglingmen people to prevent future troubles.
However, once there is a spirit boat in front, the disciples of the Demon Brake Sect who are guarding this direction will definitely be restrained and most of them will be taken away.
According to common sense, although the battle of the monastic sect does not shy away from hurting the lives of mortals, it will not deliberately kill after all.
Therefore, Xu Cheng and the others are betting to see if they can escape from the encirclement of the Demon Brake Sect safely.
Without the protection of the mountain protection array, Yan Khotan and his party went out of the Qingling Gate very smoothly, and the disciples who guarded the mountain gate on weekdays also died and escaped.
Yan Yifeng, who had long been familiar with the life in the restaurant, looked back at the Qinglingmen peaks that were flying away behind him in a daze, first the low mountains of the restaurant were hidden between the mountains, and then the Lingzhu Peak and Lingyu Peak, which were often visited, were also unable to distinguish their appearance in the dark.
Suddenly, several loud noises sounded one after another, like thunder and explosions, but in the darkness, countless fires lit up on the ground, it turned out to be a monk of the Demon Brake Sect, who used a secret method to shatter several mountain peaks.
The majestic spiritual power collision caused many buildings to collapse and be destroyed, and they were ignited for no reason, and then coupled with the riots caused by the rampant demonic beasts, the entire Qingling Gate was chaotic at this moment.
This scene left an indelible sad impression in the young man's heart, and the most incomprehensible thing for him was why everyone suffered such a catastrophe when everyone was so kind and hardworking.
I don't know if I was afraid of the fierceness of the demon gate, or sad because of the collapse of the house, unconsciously Yan Yifeng was already sobbing, but it was Yan Zhiyun, who was introverted and silent on weekdays, and he was even stronger, although he was also afraid, but the tears were always pressed in his eyes.
Xu Cheng noticed that Yan Yifeng was crying, he glanced down, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just freed up one hand and patted Yan Yifeng's head, and then he didn't say anything.
Four people and two horses, non-stop, running for more than two hours, along the way also encountered some monsters, the weak strength was solved by Yan Khotan and Xu Cheng, and the strong ones were also thrown away by the speed of the heterofoot horse.
Yan Yifeng and Yan Zhiyun finally saw the reason why Xu Cheng brought the sword.
It turned out that Xu Cheng was not an ordinary mortal, on the contrary, his swordsmanship was extremely exquisite, and between tossing and turning, he didn't seem to be inferior to Yan Yan at all.
Even its swordsmanship is abnormal, and in terms of killing power, it is even more prosperous than the strict Dao method.
It was only here that the two brothers, Yan Yifeng and Yan Shuyun, knew that Xu Chengying was an extremely rare martial artist.
From this point of view, the various traversal wonders that Xu Cheng said, the rebirth of "the sword falling into the red dust", are also very likely to be true.
Yan Yifeng and Yan Zhiyun wanted to ask clearly, but they had not been out of danger before, so the two of them had no choice but to hold back their doubts in their hearts and honestly follow Yan Tianhuan and Xu Cheng to escape for their lives.
Another half an hour passed, and the four people on the road finally saw the living person...... Half-dead people.
The man was dressed in the clothes of a Qinglingmen person, his chest was pierced by an inexplicable sharp weapon, and he looked like he was about to die with more breath and less breath.
Yan Khotan's horse took a step quickly, and first found the man who was lying on the side of the road, and after he stopped to check carefully, he found that it was a senior brother of Lingzhu Peak.
That person should also know Yan Khotan, and when he saw that he was still alive, he wanted to say a few words, but after some struggle, he still fainted with a whimper and hatred.
After being speechless for a short time, Xu Cheng and Yan Tianhuan could only lead Yifeng and Zhuyun, past the Lingzhu Peak disciples who had fallen to the ground, and slowly walked forward.
They had now dismounted the foals and walked slowly, so as not to startle the snakes.
However, the further they went, the more frightened they were by the sight before them:
Originally, after they were far away from the mountain gate, they could no longer see the fire, but directly in front of them, a fire was burning on a hill that was neither high nor low.
In the midst of the flames, it was obvious that the monks were attacking each other, and by the light of the fire, the wreckage of the broken and disintegrated spirit boat could also be seen.
Under the light of the fire, there were more Qinglingmen disciples among the trees.
Among them, Xu Cheng and others know and even know a lot, but unfortunately, most of them have died or are seriously injured and in a coma.
Xu Cheng, Yan Tianzhuo and the others, their faces became more and more ugly, they probably knew that the Spirit Boat of Lingzhu Peak had been intercepted by the Demon Brake Sect, and looking at the degree of tragedy, the enemy's strength should not be underestimated.
"What should I do, do you still have to go forward?" Yan Tianhuan looked at this scene and felt that with his and Xu Cheng's strength, it would be impossible to have hope walking over so directly, let alone bringing two children.
But he still asked out the mouth in a ghostly way, just like thirty years ago, on the day of the trial when he and Xu Cheng entered the mountain gate together, he regarded Xu Cheng as his backbone.
Xu Cheng shook his head, he didn't want to take any risks, although it was obvious that the masters were attacking each other on the mountain, but at the moment, with so many disciples who had died, it was obvious that there were still disciples of the Demon Brake Sect who were carrying out the task of blocking.
"Let's get around."
After thinking for a while, Xu Cheng spoke, and then he was going to talk to Yan Khotan, and lead Yifeng to stop the clouds and leave.
At this moment, the sound of several sharp weapons breaking through the air came from the dense forest, and Xu Cheng and Yan Tianhuan were terrified in their hearts, they didn't expect to be discovered so quickly.
But seeing Yan Khotan's hand pinching the magic trick, a magic weapon phantom that resembled a big iron pot was suddenly formed in the air, and in an instant, he and the two brothers Yifeng Zhuyun were covered in it.
Just as Yan Yifeng and Yan Zhiyun were curious about why Yan Tianhuan didn't protect Xu Cheng, as soon as they raised their heads, they finally understood the meaning of Xu Cheng wearing a long sword.
The metal object that shot from the depths of the dense forest actually only took a few breaths before revealing its true face, which was a long dart with a little black smoke.
Just when the black smoke dart was about to hurt Xu Cheng, I saw Xu Cheng flipping sideways, drawing his sword out of the way, and suddenly a silver light appeared, and the clanging sound was endless, Xu Cheng actually relied on the long sword to hit the long dart that looked quite bluffing.
"I knew it!" Yan Yifeng, who was a little extroverted, couldn't help but exclaim when he saw Xu Cheng's heroic performance, but he always thought that Xu Cheng was the hidden master of their dining room.
Now, it seems that there is nothing wrong.
The enemy in the forest, who did not succeed in a single blow, did not rush to show his face, but continued to throw darts in the darkness.
Xu Cheng saw the move, dodged while blocking, covered Yan Khotan's people, and retreated to a more densely wooded area on the side.
Coming here, the enemy's attack slowed down a little, and the view should be blocked by the trees, so they no longer kept firing black smoke darts like crazy as Fang Cai.
Yan Yifeng and Yan Zhiyun saw that the situation was slightly better, and under the young man's temperament, he was even more curious about Xu Cheng's strength, and he couldn't help but want to ask, and then he opened his mouth, but he was blocked by Yan Tianxuan.
"Not out of danger yet!" Yan Tianhuan lowered his head and drank lightly.
Before the words fell, a strange scream resounded in the ears of the four people, and before the two of them had yet to step into the cultivation, they were shocked by the whistle and squatted down.
And Xu Cheng and Yan Khotan are just not very comfortable, and they have not yet reached the point where they have to cover their ears and fall to the ground.
In the next second, the scream was still there, and it was getting closer and closer, and suddenly a black shadow fell from the canopy, with billowing smoke, and first slapped it towards the top of Xu Cheng's head.
Facing the big palm, Xu Cheng was not afraid at all, he raised his sword and slashed, and between the entanglements, he did not fall behind at all.
The black shadow also revealed its true face at this time, and at a cursory glance, it was actually a bright young woman, her fair skin was particularly pale and conspicuous against the background of the black smoke around her.
The black smoke collided with the long sword, and the sound of metal was incessant, and the more the woman hit, the more surprised she became, and it was obvious that her expression was full of doubt.
Finally, after several grapplings, the woman frowned, but there was still surprise in her eyes, and she said, "It's you!" The martial arts wizard who entered the Qingling Gate thirty years ago...... A natural martial artist, he reached the peak of martial arts at the age of twenty, but unfortunately after so many years, the poor spiritual power in your body has actually been completely consumed, and it seems that the Qingling Sect has given up on you......"
"Less nonsense!" As if he had been poked by something, Xu Cheng was a little angry, and after snorting, the offensive in his hand was even worse.
"Hah!"
The woman laughed strangely, the movements on her mouth and hands did not decrease, her yin and yang strange qi, combined with invisible black smoke, were pervasive, invading Xu Cheng at all times.
Xu Cheng seemed to be more and more angry the more he listened, and at the same time that his face was cold, his hands, feet and long sword were gradually attached to the pale white mist.
As the white mist emerged, Xu Cheng's attack became more and more powerful, according to the woman, Xu Cheng did not have any aura in his body, thinking that this should be the true qi practiced by people who practice martial arts.
Manifesting the vision with true qi, Xu Cheng has indeed reached the peak on the way to martial arts.
But even so, Xu Cheng gradually fell into disadvantage.
The woman was frightened, she had already crossed the Ning Dan level and started the cultivation of the Infant Liberation Realm, otherwise she would not have been able to intercept and kill this Qingling Sect disciple with her own strength.
However, Xu Cheng said that he is a person who practices martial arts, but in the eyes of cultivators, there is not much difference between his body and that of ordinary people, at most his muscles and bones are stronger and his strength is greater.
"To be able to fight until now with his martial arts skills is enough for him to be proud of......" the woman thought.
Then, as soon as the magic in her hand changed, she was going to use a killer move to end this unexpected fight.
However, Xu Cheng's long-term struggle attracted most of the woman's attention, and she didn't notice Yan Khotan, who was quietly leaving, had already circled her back at this time, and had accumulated a powerful spiritual power.
Just as the woman was confident in performing her nirvana, she suddenly felt the killing intent behind her.
But Xu Cheng didn't give the woman too many chances, and the sword momentum was continuous, forcing the woman to get out.
Until Yan Khotan's spiritual power hit the woman, the woman still couldn't believe that she, a monk in the infant liberation realm, was actually severely injured by a mortal martial artist and a cook in the Ning Dan realm.
The woman turned over to escape, but she never thought that the black smoke around her body that was unstable due to her injuries could not stop Xu Chengfeng's extremely sharp blade, like white snow dyeing red plums, and a bloody light flew on the woman's pale face.
After that, visible to the naked eye, the woman's vitality slowly faded as her neck was cut.
Xu Cheng and Yan Khotanhuan had gone through a hard battle in the escape, and they looked exhausted, while the two brothers Yifeng Zhuyun saw the murderous scene for the first time today, and their faces were not good-looking.
After a short break, Xu Cheng and Yan Khotan decided to continue their escape, but at this moment, the battle on the hill reached a new stage.
After a burst of spiritual power and firelight, several figures flew upside down from the core battle group.
One of them, so good that he didn't die, fell not far from Xu Cheng and the others.
Originally, Xu Cheng, Yan Tianzhuo and the others didn't want to pay attention to it, but after they looked at it, they found that the person who fell to the ground and fell into a coma was Senior Sister Chao, who had communicated with them a lot during the day.
"You can't let it go......
Yan Tianhuan stared at Senior Sister Chao's bloodless face, and secretly thought in his heart, and beside him, Xu Cheng's face was accompanied by the firelight all over the mountain, which seemed even more cloudy and unclear.
