Three days later, the annual Dan Day arrived as scheduled.

The atmosphere inside the sword mound seemed to have suddenly become strange and solemn.

All the sword slaves who walked out of the sect showed vigilance and vigilance in their eyes, and even many of them clutched the hilt of the long sword at their waist all the time.

They came from all directions, or in groups of three or five, or alone, and walked in the direction of Dantang in unison.

On the top of the medicine peak, at the gate of the Dan Hall, the ten elders gathered.

The people of the torture hall stood in two rows, each holding a sword, and their faces solemnly stood on either side.

The Dan disciples were busy distributing the pills so that they could be distributed to the sword slaves who arrived after the release of the pills began.

The sword slaves who arrived earlier were already lined up in a regular row under the watchful eyes of the ten elders and everyone in the torture hall, waiting for the bell to ring.

Wait until the rising sun in the east rises above the heads of all.

Above the medicine peak, the bell rang.

While!

After a sound, there are still lingering sounds among the mountain peaks.

Then, including the people in the torture hall, all the sword slaves became nervous.

The disciples began to distribute pills.

......

As people from Dantang, Ye Chong and Lu Shan both took leave from Elder Dantang on this day and waited quietly in the Purple Bamboo Forest.

Elder Dantang knew about their grievances with Qi Huang, but he didn't ask about them, because they were all grievances that Ye Chong and Lu Shan had formed before they became his official disciples, and the grievances were already deep, and according to the rules of the Sword Shrine, he couldn't interfere.

But he left a message for Ye Chong and Lu Shan, "After you finish this matter, if anyone still asks you for trouble in the future, you might as well sue me, and I will deal with it for you." ”

This reminded Ye Chong of the gangster movies he had watched before, the big guy said to the younger brother, I will cover you in the future, whoever moves you, I will move him!

But he didn't find it funny at all, in fact, after they became the disciples of the Dantang Elders, the other sword slaves would be much more polite when they saw them again, and even with the people of the Seven Xuanzong Sect, they didn't have the mentality that anyone could step on them in the past.

After Elder Mu Feng apologized for the incident, Elder Dantang, who was already in the top five seats of the Hall of Elders, was even more majestic than before, and his disciples, naturally no one dared to provoke him.

Ye Chong and Lu Shan both felt this.

Therefore, they are very grateful to Elder Dantang for their love and care.

What is certain is that as long as Qi Huang is perfectly solved this time, then in the next less than two years, they can sit back and relax in the Sword Shrine, and they don't need to spend their minds on other things except cultivation and alchemy.

This made Ye Chong feel that Qi Huang was a threshold in front of them, and after crossing this threshold, the sky was wide from now on, and if they couldn't cross it, they would have to bear the trauma of tripping.

At this time, the bell on the medicine peak only rang once a year, but every time it shook the entire sword mound, it also reached the purple bamboo forest.

After the bell rings, you can use your sword to kill!

Ye Chong, who was sitting in the bamboo house, suddenly jumped down.

Immediately afterwards, several figures, Shui Xi'er, Jian Ying, Qu Yao, Shui Zhu'er, and Lu Shan, all jumped off the bamboo house together.

Even with Li Hui, he stretched his waist and shook his neck to Ye Chong's side.

"It's a shame to live with you, just one Qi Huang, just let you be so vigilant, it's really cowardly, that guy is not a master, just do him if you come!" Li Hui rolled his eyes while looking around, "This Qi Huang still treats himself as a character, isn't it just a fight, and he doesn't know if he came early, it's rude to let people wait like this, he doesn't know!"

This time, Lu Shan and Qu Yao did not say anything to refute.

It's not that they admit that they are as timid as a mouse, but that although Li Hui has a poisonous tongue as always, his body is very active...... came to the side of the crowd.

And his hand was already on the hilt of the sword.

A life-and-death duel, after all, is not as simple as an ordinary fight, no one wants to lose their lives, at such a prime age.

The so-called vigilance is out of prudence, even if you have a chance of winning and you can't lose your life, it's hard to guarantee that you won't lose your arms and wrists...... This kind of example, the former has Lu Yuanba, and the latter has Zhou Yan, both of which are bloody.

Ye Chong didn't want to make anyone in the Seven Xuan Sect disabled because of his negligence.

And they are standing together at the moment just to prevent accidents, they don't know if Qi Huang will become ruthless and cunning in a few months.

In this way, they stood in the purple bamboo forest for a long time.

Until the sound of fighting sounded above the medicine peak in the distance, and overflowing sword light appeared.

Qi Huang stepped on the fallen leaves in the forest and came to them.

One person and one sword, came alone, walking the right path opened up in the purple bamboo forest, and coming with bitter hatred.

His figure was much thinner than before, he was slightly hunched as he walked step by step, his eyes flashed with fierce light, and the long sword in his hand was already unsheathed, glowing with snowy light, like a wolf grinning the sharpest fangs!

There has been a significant change from the previous high-flying temperament.

If Qi Huang was a tiger cub rampant in the mountains and forests in the past, then now he has become a hungry skinny tiger lying on a barren hill, lurking minions and enduring, just waiting to deliver a fatal blow to the prey and tear the other party's flesh.

All he was left with was hatred that tore apart his enemies, devoured their bones, and drank their blood.

Without any conspiracy or tricks, he came to the people of the Seven Xuanzong in such an open and honest manner.

He looked at Ye Chong, and said in a cold voice: "I've been waiting for a long time." ”

I don't know if it's himself, or Ye Chong and the others who are waiting for him here.

Ye Chong laughed, and at this moment, the original worries in his heart disappeared, because he saw the changes in Qi Huang's body. Now Qi Huang has no heart to engage in any insidious and cunning methods, all his beliefs and all the spirits that support him are probably killing himself with his own hands.

Ye Chong said in an extremely rare tone: "This is the first time you have come to the Purple Bamboo Forest alone. ”

In the past, Qi Huang came here every time surrounded by a group of sword slaves, and then beat people, set fires, and scolded.

That scene seems to be still in front of us, but the world has changed.

Qi Huang also smiled, he smiled cruelly, "Now, how can anyone be willing to follow me, let alone offend you, an elder disciple, those sword slaves who cheered for me in the past and helped me fight people, now I am afraid that they all want to snatch the resources left by my father." ”

Then his voice became cold again, like a winter wind and snow, slamming into the ground with hailstones, "I admit that I am to blame for this qiē now, but if I can't kill you myself today, I'm afraid I'll go crazy!"

In the past few months, what has tormented him is not only hatred, but also self-blame, blaming himself for implicating his father. So he finally understood that this qiē was all self-inflicted, but what happened to Qi Xianming had become one of his inner demons, unless he killed Ye Chong, even if he walked out of the sword mound, he would not be able to get rid of this inner demon.

So he stopped talking nonsense, raised his sword and pointed at Ye Chong and said, "Come on, today, it's either life or death!"

Ye Chong also nodded calmly, "Okay, then I'll fight with you alone." ”
