Chapter 52: Trouble Rises in the Cold Mountain (5)
Li Encheng has done his best, and he knows very well that he has played to the extreme of his current realm, but the huge gap in strength between the two is insurmountable. No matter how he swung his sword, he couldn't even hurt Ruan Qishen, which made him very frustrated, and it also made him doubt himself for the first time in his heart.
Is it really wrong for the self who is dedicated to the sect and gives priority to obeying the sect's orders at all times?
If you don't have the strength, you can't even protect the people you want to protect, so how can you protect a case?
When he faced off against Su Mu, Li Encheng didn't feel this way, because he knew that Su Mu was a genius much stronger than himself. But at present, the situation of the junior and younger disciples is uncertain, there has been no news for a long time, and he has also delayed his cultivation because of various affairs within the sect, and the cultivation of the younger generation of the Hanshan Sword Sect has fallen behind greatly.
Between thoughts, Li Encheng's abdomen was hit by a lightning attack by Ruan Qishen, although it was not pierced, the strong force almost shattered Li Encheng's lower ribs, and his body drew a heartbreaking arc in the air, and fell heavily on the pillar of the ancestral hall.
"Senior brother!" Li Xihan hurriedly rushed forward, and Han Shanxia, who was supporting his master on the side, also showed a rare anxious expression.
Li Mengru sighed even more in his heart, he knew his disciple's character too well, even if he stood to death, it was impossible to kneel.
It's really exactly the same as yourself.
"So, there shouldn't be anyone who has any objections to me taking over as the head of the house, right?" Ruan Qishen was very satisfied with the effect of the competition, and the atmosphere on the field had completely changed at this time. Maybe there were some people who had been looking forward to the former head candidate Li Encheng, who had always had high hopes, hoping that he could create miracles like Su Mu back then.
The cold reality of the moment brutally gives a heavy slap in the face to all those who maintain their naïve fantasies.
The entire ancestral hall was silent.
Just as the Great Elder was about to accept his fate and hand over the seal of the head of the sect, a loud noise suddenly sounded outside the ancestral hall, like the sound of something exploding.
"What's going on?" Ruan Qishen was very dissatisfied with the atmosphere just now being suddenly interrupted, "What's going on outside?"
"It's... Be... It's a light, and suddenly there is a light in the air!" one of the disciples shouted with a surprised expression, "Again, here it is!"
"What's that, it can't be an attack, right?"
"It looks a bit like the fireworks I've seen at the Yamashita festival before. ”
"Idiot, how can there be such monotonous fireworks. ”
The constant whispering made Ruan Qishen a little puzzled, and in the end, his cautious personality made him decide to go out and check it out in person.
The moment Ruan Qishen stepped out of the ancestral hall, he felt a little wrong, it was obviously only evening now, why was the sky so dark? It looked a bit like before a thunderstorm fell, the air pressure was very low, making people feel obviously uncomfortable. There was also a faint flash of white light in the dense dark clouds, which was a harbinger of thunder.
But Ruan Qishen knew that what made the disciples so curious was obviously not this, but the dazzling white fireworks that kept exploding in mid-air. Unlike fireworks, when they explode, there is only a very ordinary white light, like a meteor that crosses the sky in reverse.
Just as Ruan Qi was thinking about who was doing this strange thing, this time a positive white light fell on the house not far from the ancestral hall, and in an instant, the roar of thunder suddenly resounded in the sky.
A roaring fire followed.
"Thunder has fallen! It's on fire! Hurry up and go out of the water!" Suddenly, the entire ancestral hall exploded. The terrain is not very high, and the mountains are not dense, so they are rarely affected by lightning. And the lightning directly hit the building of the sect for the first time in recorded history.
The disciples panicked all of a sudden, and the scene became extremely chaotic.
"Calm down, calm down!" Just as Ruan Qishen tried to shout to calm the noise of the crowd, another blast thunder fell, this time closer, almost a few meters outside the ancestral hall.
Sect disciples, who had almost never felt the power of the explosion so closely, could no longer restrain the fear in their hearts and fled in all directions.
"Ruan Qishen is rebellious! Heavenly Gong wants to punish him!" I don't know which person was the first to shout the words, and the frightened disciples listened to it and immediately thought it was true.
Yes, this Ruan Qishen did not say anything about the following crimes, and also used the Yin Ruthless Evil Technique to absorb the true qi cultivation of the same sect disciple, just to satisfy his selfish desire to be the head of the sect, which is indeed against the way of heaven and humanity.
"It's a big rebellion!"
"Quickly apologize to the Heavenly Father!"
Once public opinion is guided, it immediately becomes out of control. More and more people believe that Ruan Qishen angered the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Lord sent down the punishment.
Fang Cai, who was still angry with Ruan Qishen, and the many sect disciples who dared not speak out, now with the help of Tiangong, also boldly denounced it. The momentum of the crowd is also getting stronger.
"Presumptuous!" Ruan Qishen was furious, "You stupid things with no brains actually believe such nonsense! I, Ruan Qishen, want to see today how capable this Tiangong is, and dare to be dissatisfied with me!"
With that, all the true qi of the whole body that broke through the Skyclave was released, and the imperial sword slowly rose into the air.
"Come on, God, I'm right here! ...... Ah!!h
Before Ruan Qishen's words fell, a thunderbolt with the loudest roar and strongest momentum so far fell from the dark clouds, hitting Ruan Qishen's body with incomparable precision, flashing an extremely dazzling white light in an instant!
"Really, it was really struck! Ruan Qishen was really struck by lightning!" Faced with the fact that it was happening in front of him, he couldn't allow everyone not to believe it.
Although it is rare to hear of such a thing as a lightning strike hitting someone, how can there be such a thing as Fang Cai, who is still shouting at the Heavenly Father one second in a big rebellion, and the next second the Lei Gong will appear and send down the heavenly punishment? It is clear that Ruan Qishen offended God before he was subjected to this thunderstorm!
"Presumptuous, what a thunderbolt! It's just a trick to blind the eyes!" Ruan Qishen swung out with a sword, dispelling the electric light around him. At this time, he was in a very bad state, although the power of the falling thunder was strangely not as terrifying as he imagined, but it still caused him very serious damage.
At this time, Ruan Qishen's whole body was scorched black, his anger was rushing, and the true qi in his body was almost chaotic, scurrying uncontrollably in the meridians, and even ordinary sword qi was difficult to swing.
But he still survived, in front of the thunder!
Ruan Qishen was both angry and refreshed. Anger is naturally because he has eaten this thunderous blow head-on, and his state at the moment is very embarrassed, while Shu Shuang feels from the bottom of his heart: "Even God can't cure me Ruan Qishen!"
Just as Ruan Qishen was intoxicated with his strength, a turquoise sword shadow locked Ruan Qishen's floating figure in the air from the dead end!
