Chapter 06: Shocking Change in the Snow
This kind of monster that originally lived in the snowy mountain col suddenly jumped out of the glacier, even Xiao Yibai, who came to the Weeping Snow Plateau for the eighth time, was stunned for a moment and did not react, but the people around him had already rushed out, and in the next blink of an eye, they swept to the back of the Snow Yaksha, and the white sword spirit like the moon in his hand aroused countless cold sword qi, and with the continuous rotation of his wrist, the sword light fell on the monster's huge body one after another, without waiting for the people on both sides of the strait to see clearly what was happening. Yuyaksha staggered backwards, blood scattering, staining the clear river water a blinding red.
Three pairs of eyes looked thoughtfully from each of the three directions, all shocked.
As a member of the Wind Demon, Xiao Yibai naturally knew that Crown Prince Mingxi had been monitoring his younger brother's every move by special means since a long time ago, although the two brothers had not seen each other for ten years, in fact, he knew something about his younger brother's swordsmanship, but the swords that killed the monster just now were far beyond his expectations in terms of speed, strength and accuracy, and he even had a strange intuition, which was not at all like the strength of a young man who had only learned swordsmanship for ten years and was only eighteen years old this year.
Cen Ge on the other side of the glacier is even more complex and dignified, this kind of swordsmanship he has seen, it is the "seven-turn sword style" from Kunlun Mountain, the master once said that this is the entry sword style of the disciples of the Kunlun faction, as long as you gently turn your wrist, you can flexibly hook up the sword qi to form a powerful move, but this nominal entry swordsmanship in the hands of different people The difference in strength is extremely huge, it is a kind of swordsmanship that can be changed according to the characteristics of the practitioner himself, it is said that some people even use the wooden figure for practice to cut constantly, Others can erupt with the terrifying power of landslides and earth cracks.
The commander of the lower reaches of the glacier is also secretly speaking, the dark department is to track down the theft of Shen Yue to investigate Kunlun Mountain several times, although the results of the investigation of Shen Yue are not satisfactory, but there are many unexpected gains for this noble son from Tianzheng Mansion, the head of Kunlun only accepted three personal apprentices, he has a senior brother above, and a junior sister below, but even if it is the most inconspicuous middle position, the head of the family attaches great importance to him unexpectedly, The head of the family, who has always liked to travel all over the world and often disappeared for several years, stayed in the mountains for more than three years without leaving a single step in order to teach him swordsmanship.
And he did not live up to the expectations of the master, the Snow Yaksha, who was nearly ten meters tall, was killed by him with a sword, and sank silently into the ice river before he had time to make trouble.
While the three of them had their own thoughts, Xiao Qianye had already collected his sword and returned to Xiao Yibai's side, he gently shook off the blood droplets on the tip of the sword, and looked around with a little confusion: "You said before that the Snow Lake Festival is opened by the sect leader in the Thousand Machines Palace to lead the water flow of the source of the glacier, during the Snow Lake Festival, the monsters within a radius of a hundred miles of the main altar and the glacier river basin will be shocked by spiritual power and actively avoid it, but this Snow Yaksha not only jumped out of the glacier, but even appeared directly on the snow field near the Dengxian Road?" It came from a strange place, could it be that the cult people were playing ghosts nearby? β
Xiao Yibai thought about it seriously, the White Sect has been greatly damaged since the civil strife sixteen years ago, and the current sect leader is just a little girl who doesn't know anything except noble blood, and the only person who has the ability to control monsters should be Cen Ge, but when he remembered the appearance of the Snow Yaksha grinning out just now, it seemed that he didn't care about the life and death of the ordinary people around him at all, and with his understanding of Cen Ge, he really didn't think it was him.
But he couldn't take the initiative to explain the complicated relationship between himself and the White Sect to his younger brother, so he could only smile awkwardly and find a reason to reply: "After all, this time the White Tiger army was directly stationed in Fulong Town, and it was only a short seventy miles away from the Thousand Machine Palace. β
As soon as this sentence was finished, strange water began to splash on the glacier again, Xiao Yi's white pupils shrank, and he finally saw the mystery and was taken aback: "It's the spell of the space enchantment!" Someone put the monsters in the col into the water droplets, and sent them here through the glacier! β
The two of them shot at the same time to trap the water droplets that were about to disperse in mid-air, and sure enough, there were fierce monsters that rushed at them through the barrier of water, Xiao Yibai's expression was stern, and the light in his eyes was even more indifferent and full of snowy sharp edge - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had reminded him before that Governor Gao had secretly sent someone over, could it be so soon? In this way, he directly threw the monster at the Snow Lake Festival of the White Sect, if the spatial enchantment is all opened, not only the alien race who put the lights here, but I am afraid that even ordinary people will become the rations of the monsters!
In a hurry, Xiao Yibai urged his spiritual power to crush the water droplets unceremoniously, and sprinkled blood on the glacier like ink, and the people around him were also scattered in panic.
I don't know how long it took for the two of them to stop, the snow lake festival that was still lively just now was a dead silence in a blink of an eye, the destroyed lotus lantern sank into the water, and the sky lantern that had been released also began to fall scattered, such a blink of an instant depression scene made Xiao Yibai a little uneasy, as if he was about to say something when suddenly there was a sharp pain in his chest, and then he coughed violently, he hurriedly raised his hand to cover the corners of his mouth, just such a simple action, it was black in front of him and almost fell to the ground, Immediately, a trace of black blood foam spat out from the throat!
"Big brother!" Xiao Qianye was startled and hurriedly helped him sit directly on the snow, Xiao Yibai frowned, he didn't know what was going on, he subconsciously put his fingers into his arms and put them on his heart that was beating violently, and finally smelled a strange medicinal fragrance diffusing from his arms.
"Leaving the Fire Bead ......" he spit out three words with difficulty, only to realize that it was the Separation Fire Bead that he had just put into his arms casually turned into a strange liquid as dark as ink, which had penetrated into his skin and made his entire chest appear a terrifying black and purple!
"Away from the fire beads? Is it the fire bead given by Luo Qi? Xiao Qianye was incredulous, and when he wanted to check it carefully, he was resolutely slapped away by Xiao Yibai, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and the muscles of his cheeks twitched slightly uncontrollably, and only after forcibly pressing down a mouthful of blood did he try to clear his throat and remind in a low voice, "Don't touch it, these two fire beads are poisonous inside, I urged the spiritual power when I killed the monster just now, it should be the poisonous hair that attacked the heart unconsciously at that time, you, you stay away......"
"Big brother!" Where could he still listen to these words, Xiao Qianye strode forward and pressed Xiao Yibai's arm on his shoulder, and said hurriedly, "There is a doctor with the army in Fulong Town, I will take you back to detoxify, you hold on!" β
Xiao Yibai's sight has appeared dense black and white points of light, the whole person is uncontrollable like a puddle of mud that can't move at all, just at the moment when Xiao Qianye struggled to support him and take the first step forward, a ghostly figure on the opposite bank suddenly stopped his steps, Xiao Qianye was taken aback and instinctively raised his sword to attack, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the person who came lightly sideways to avoid his sword spirit, and then one hand accurately pressed Xiao Yibai and forcibly pulled it over!
"Don't move!" Cen Ge scolded indifferently, and a second before the sword spirit blade swept to his neck, an invisible spell barrier was formed and forced Xiao Qianye back a few big steps, he quickly sealed several acupoints of Xiao Yibai, and finally raised his eyes unhurriedly to look at Xiao Qianye, who was like a great enemy, and smiled faintly, "The second prince doesn't want him to die, just stand there and don't come here, this is the venom of the rock snake clan, it has entered the body and is about to penetrate the internal organs." β
Xiao Qianye looked at the other party vigilantly, after killing the snow yaksha that suddenly appeared in the glacier, the nearby people had already dispersed in a hurry, he didn't see clearly from what direction this mysterious person suddenly appeared, until the other party took away the eldest brother from his hand, he clearly saw that this person was wearing a gorgeous white feather weaving, with a pair of pale blue eyes that were very special to the alien race, and even the depths of one pupil there was a red lotus in full swing, it was obvious that he was a member of the White Sect.
"Cen Ge ......" Xiao Yibai grabbed his wrist in a daze, even in confusion he instinctively shook his head, Cen Ge turned his gaze back to the poisoned man in his arms, his eyes were unpredictable, "Should I let you die here, so that I can have one less troublesome enemy." β
"Cen Ge?" Xiao Qianye's heart also mentioned his throat the moment he heard this name, this ghostly man was the Great Si Ming Cen Ge of the White Sect?
Cen Ge poured his own spiritual power into his body and barely delayed the spread of the toxin, Xiao Yibai's complexion eased slightly, and he tried to sit up with his hands supporting his body, and sure enough, as soon as he looked up, he saw the complicated and suspicious look on the face of his younger brother who was a few steps away, and the atmosphere suddenly felt a little subtle embarrassment.
Xiao Yibai couldn't help coughing, but Cen Ge laughed a little happily, and said slightly sarcastically: "The poison of the Rock Snake Clan itself is not powerful, it is the strange research that you humans have engaged in over the years that has turned it into a tricky poison, and the doctor in Fulong Town will definitely not be able to save you at the moment, either you have to go back to Qianji Palace with me, or you can only hurry back to the imperial capital to find Danzhen Palace, but judging by your situation, you will definitely die halfway if you can't even go down the Immortal Road, hehe." β
Although every word sounded full of banter, Xiao Yibai knew that what the other party was saying was no joke as soon as he looked at his fingers that were constantly trembling, as if he had finally seized the initiative, Cen Ge's face flashed with a faint smile, only those eyes reflected the moonlight in the snowfield and looked a little cloudy: "I heard that the second prince came to Jialuo to attack the White Sect at the recommendation of His Royal Highness the Prince, and a month ago, the White Tiger Legion entered Fulong Town at the foot of the mountain, and the White Wolf Legion, which is also the defender of Jialuo, is also gathering in large numbers to prepare for support, the White Sect is originally a divine religion of aliens, and you human beings do not interfere with river water, why do you have to be forced to lose and lose every step of the way? β
"It's just a cult." Xiao Qianye replied coldly, Cen Ge's eyes were solemn, and before he could refute, Xiao Yibai secretly pulled the corner of his clothes, but he didn't want to argue at such a time, Cen Ge continued calmly, "The second prince makes his own decision, do you want him to die here, or let me take him back to detoxify?" β
Although there was hesitation, the current Xiao Qianye could only stand in place with the sword spirit in his hands, and he didn't dare to act rashly at all, because a faint red lotus mark suddenly appeared on the eldest brother's chest, and it was obvious that he was forcibly suppressing the spread of the toxin with some powerful spell, if he was against this person at the moment, he was afraid that the eldest brother would be poisoned and die at the same time as he unlocked the spell!
He is not good at spells, and he refuses to practice in the Eight Halls of Fa Cultivation not to hide his strength, but because he himself really has no talent for spells since he was a child.
Cen Ge paid close attention to the subtle changes in his demeanor, and his indifferent tone was compelling, and he said slowly, word by word: "If the second prince is interested, he shouldn't hesitate now, after all, these two poisonous fire beads were personally given to you by General Luo Qi of the White Tiger Legion, instead of a stalemate with me here to consume your eldest brother's life, you might as well go back and ask who is behind the ghost?" Hehe, I still want to take him as a hostage to force you to retire, I won't kill him easily, don't worry. β
Even if he was really angry, Xiao Qianye still put away his weapon rationally at this moment, gritted his teeth and urged: "Save him quickly!" β
Cen Ge smiled as he wished, rolled up Xiao Yibai and disappeared from his sight, and when he paused again, the two had already returned to the apse of the Thousand Machines Palace, he directly threw Xiao Yibai aside, and looked at this man who had never been able to break in with ease for the first time with a look of embarrassment, and before he could say a sarcastic word, Xiao Yibai glared and scolded: "You still have a mind about yin and yang, what is the matter with the snow yaksha that jumped out of the glacier?" Not to mention that the thing lives near the mountain col, how did they be thrown into the glacier by the spell of the spatial enchantment, and blatantly run out at the Snow Lake Festival to cause trouble? β
Hearing him say this, Cen Ge really couldn't laugh for a second, Xiao Yibai snorted coldly and pressed the red lotus mark on his chest that helped him inhibit the spread of toxins, instead of half a point of thanks, he chattered endlessly, Cen Ge was originally upset, and he was even more angry when he nagged a few words like chanting scriptures, and couldn't help but sneer at each other: "Take care of yourself!" After so many years, even I was helpless against you, and as a result, I was put down by two poisons from my own people and almost died on the spot? If it weren't for the fact that I happened to be nearby, Xiao Qianye would have been able to collect your body by now! β
In the next second, Xiao Yibai closed his mouth in amusement, and after thinking about it for a long time, he replied suspiciously: "The other party's goal is to poison the two of us with one stone, but Qianye has a special cold heart method from Kunlun Mountain, so he didn't think about it and directly stuffed the two fire beads to me together, I know that Luo Qi has always been very flattering to Gao Chengchuan, but although he has been mediocre for so many years, he can be regarded as keeping to himself, so as not to blatantly poison us." β
"If you die at the Snow Lake Sacrifice, who knows that he once gave those two fire beads?" Cen Ge sneered with a cold face and scolded, "When the time comes, directly push the pot to the White Sect, anyway, we are enemies, poisoning one counts as one." β
Xiao Yibai was full of sadness: "It seems that the interior of the military pavilion has long been infiltrated by Governor Gao, and the position of the pavilion master must be taken back as soon as possible, it is really difficult to delay it for a few more years......"
"It's none of your own power struggles with me." Cen Ge interrupted him, looked up and down at the man who couldn't move because of poisoning, and said thoughtfully, "Only I can save you now, Xiao Yibai, you withdraw your troops, or I will directly throw you back to the snowfield to fend for yourself." β
Xiao Yibai looked at the serious Cen Ge funny, and repeatedly spread his hands and laughed at himself: "Do you think I am a person with such great power?" β
"Then let Xiao Qianye withdraw his troops." Cen Ge answered reluctantly, Xiao Yibai pursed his lips, as if he smiled faintly, "Then he will have to wait until he sits in the position of the master of the military pavilion before he has the right to withdraw the troops." β
"Then let the crown prince withdraw his troops!" Unable to bear the other party's indifferent tone any longer, Cen Ge grabbed his wrist, "The crown prince always has the right to withdraw his troops, right?" I know that there are some rumors between him and you, for him, a foreign god cult is at best just a tool to seize power, and the death of 10,000 disciples is not comparable to you, you must be an extremely important existence to him, if he doesn't want to come all the way to collect your body, immediately withdraw his troops from Fulong Town, otherwise the day of the end of the Snow Lake Festival will be the time when you die in the snow field! β
Xiao Yibai was silent, the eyes of the two were staggered in the air, and just as he was about to say something, suddenly a familiar tingling sensation came from his palm, Xiao Yibai was startled, and it was too late to withdraw his hand.
Cen Ge pressed his wrist and forcibly broke the tightly held five fingers, and suddenly his face turned pale, only to see a white point of light appear in the other party's hand, and there was a wisp of spiritual power like a filament connecting the flesh of the palm, this feeling that made people feel cold behind his back made him gasp and blurt out: "Soul Splitting Dafa...... Did you use the Soul Splitting Dafa on yourself? β
The white light was slowly spreading, like a magical mirror gradually reflecting the person sitting opposite, Cen Ge's pupils suddenly contractedβit was a young man in purple palace clothes with a slightly sickly face, he was wearing a white jade wrench with a hollow center, and the soul and soul of the Soul Splitting Dafa were mysteriously wandering among them.
"The crown prince." I don't know how long it took for Cen Ge to read out the identity of the other party in a hoarse voice, the eyes of the royal family were a faint light gold, but this glance swept over like a scorching sun in the sky, making him feel an unprecedented pressure.
Prince Mingxi just looked at the two of them suspiciously, and then quickly turned to Xiao Yibai, with undisguised worry in his tone: "Are you poisoned?" β
Without waiting for Xiao Yibai to answer, a sharp short sword fell from Cen Ge's sleeve and unceremoniously rested on the other party's throat, he tried his best to control some kind of deep fear, and threatened word by word: "He is poisoned, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants him to live, now immediately give up attacking the White Sect and let the military pavilion withdraw from Fulong Town!" β
The short silence seemed to be as long as a century, and the crown prince behind the light mirror didn't know what kind of look he had between his eyebrows, and he picked up a dark green butterfly in his hand and ordered in a low voice: "Order the military pavilion, withdraw from Fulong Town, and retreat thirty miles." β
I never expected that the crown prince would agree so simply, but this time, Cen Ge, who was carrying a sword, stood a little dazed and didn't know what to do, and only after a while did he frown and look at Xiao Yibai, who had no love, and ordered someone to move him to the apse to detoxify.
