Chapter Twenty-Five: Ambush

Xue Lingfeng and the others didn't know how long they had been walking, and they came to a relatively flat place, because of the dense fog, they couldn't see what kind of terrain was around, roughly like a canyon sandwiched between two mountains, or a mountain pass.

I saw that the ground was overgrown with weeds, and there were pools of muddy sewage, which had accumulated thick dead branches and leaves for many years, exuding a strong smell of earth and decay.

The nine people were tired of walking, so they found a cleaner place to rest here for a while, but as soon as they sat down for a while, the surroundings suddenly changed, and the dense fog that was originally immobile suddenly shook a few times without wind, and after a while, they swam around them, and the speed became faster and faster.

Several people hurriedly got up and formed a circle back to back, each taking out their weapons to concentrate on guard, only to see a black shadow hidden in the dense fog around them, constantly changing directions as the dense fog rotated rapidly, occasionally showing their faces, all of which were hideous and terrifying, shocking ugly grimaces.

At this time, a voice came from the depths of the dense fog and laughed a few times: "Ignorant juniors, you dare to chase you here, it's just asking for your own death!"

As soon as the words fell, another voice said with ecstasy: "Hahaha, Xuanguang Sword, it's very good! Brother Xue, everything will be fine after a farewell! The Heavenly Sword Gate can still let you bring out such a divine weapon, it's really stupid, and the cold jade bead also brought it!"

As soon as these words came out, several exclamations suddenly came from the depths of the dense fog, and it seemed that there were quite a few people hiding there. Xue Lingfeng took a few steps out, raised his voice and said, "Shameless demon, if you want to kill or rob, you can come directly, why bother!"

"Hahaha, it's very good! There is a little bit of Xue Xiaotian's appearance, then the revenge of the sword back then will be paid by his son!"

As soon as the words fell, the wind suddenly rose all around, the thick fog turned faster and faster, and black shadows rushed towards the middle with teeth and claws. Seeing that the Haoyue Divine Sword was shining brightly, Qianxue took the lead to meet it, and the others also joined the battle.

Qin Xianglan subconsciously pulled Xue Lingfeng behind her, and she firmly blocked him in front of her, in her heart, no matter what kind of changes Xue Lingfeng had, her first reaction was still to protect him with all her might.

A burst of warmth floated in Xue Lingfeng's heart, he wanted to rush forward to protect her first, but he still stayed where he was when he held the Xuanguang Sword, Qin Xianglan had always protected him, even in such a dangerous time, he didn't want to go against her will.

Most of these black shadows were like the ones that attacked Qianxue and the others on Yinfeng Mountain, they were hideous and terrifying, emitting an unpleasant stench, and after being hit vigorously, they turned into a cloud of black gas and dissipated.

But there are also some darker and larger bodies, which turned into a cloud of black smoke after being hit, but they did not disperse, and after a struggle, they changed and formed again, and suddenly they divided into several, gathering all the black qi that dissipated around them.

Several people fought for a while, but there were more and more black shadows around them that would not dissipate no matter how they fought, and they were surrounded by groups and could not move forward, stained with the stench all over their bodies, and these black shadows seemed to have the ability to dementor the soul, and after a long time, several people began to feel numb and unable to give up, and the three souls and seven spirits were all drawn out by these ghosts and evil spirits.

Pity the four girls, they are extremely disgusted with this stench, and they have to fight hard, but they kill and kill alive and kill like this, and they continue to differentiate into new ones, when they can kill the end, if they continue to consume like this, even if they are not caught in the Tao, they will be exhausted to death.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Qianxue secretly said that in order to get rid of the entanglement of these ghosts, she had to deal with the people who were hiding in the dense fog and controlling them, so she quickly dodged and retreated, raising the Haoyue Divine Sword high, and in an instant, the light burst out, and she flew up and slashed forward.

A sharp sword qi swept through layers of dense fog like lightning, and hit the ground with sand and dust, only to see an afterimage avoided, and then he fell into the dense fog again, and then there was an exclamation: "Good Haoyue Divine Sword!"

As soon as the words fell, the wind rose again, and the thick fog that had been swept away suddenly closed together, and the people hidden in the thick fog disappeared without a trace.

Xue Lingfeng looked at Qin Xianglan in front of him and frowned again and again, and finally lifted the Xuanguang Sword to help her, he didn't know any magic moves, he could only clench the long sword in his hand and slash indiscriminately.

But he didn't want Xuanguang to pass over, just wiped it, and those ghostly black shadows fell down one after another, and after a tremble, they dissipated without a trace, Xue Lingfeng was overjoyed, he didn't expect the sword in his hand to have such a strange effect, and hurriedly rushed out for a while, and the others finally showed a smile on their faces when they saw this, and even Chu Zimu couldn't help but lean towards him.

As Xue Lingfeng kept swinging his sword and dancing wildly, the black shadows and ghosts around him continued to turn into a burst of black qi and dissipate, and the rest didn't dare to get closer, and they were very afraid of the sword in his hand.

The wind stopped abruptly, the swirling mist suddenly stopped, and the surrounding black shadows disappeared, and a voice roared fiercely: "Xuanguang Sword!

After the sound, there was no movement, and after a while, I heard many people in the depths of the dense fog shouting in unison: "See the young palace master!"

Then another voice sounded: "What's the matter, don't you go quickly, what are you guys doing here?"

"Young Palace Master, a few righteous little hairy children, Young Palace Master wait a while, wait for me to destroy them quickly!"

"Forget it, we have more important things to do, come with me immediately!"

"But the young palace master, the Xuanguang Sword and the Cold Jade Bead are both ......"

Before this person finished speaking, he was interrupted by the so-called young palace master: "Okay, since they have arrived at Qingming Mountain, they are still afraid that they will not be able to escape, so follow me immediately!"

Several voices echoed in unison, and after a burst of swishing sounds, they disappeared silently, and everything was calm again!

Several people hurriedly began to clean up the stench and foreign objects on their bodies, and they couldn't help but glance at the Xuanguang Sword in Xue Lingfeng's hand a few more times, and at the same time, they were secretly thinking in their hearts, what kind of person was the person who was called the Young Palace Master just now, listening to the voice should be just a young man, but these people all had to listen to his orders, and his timbre sounded a little eerie, very unusual.

After a few people cleaned up, they took a short rest, thinking that these people were so eager, putting the two treasures of the Xuanguang Sword and the Han Jade Bead without snatching them, there must be something more important in front of them, so they hurriedly chased after them, all of them were the best in the new generation, and they were arrogant and not afraid of hardships and dangers.

Deeper in the Qingming Mountain, the terrain began to become gentle, there were many open basins, and the plants also grew more vigorously and densely, but they were still shrouded in dense fog, and they could not disperse.

At this time, in a small wide basin, a stream runs through it, the stream is babbling with insects, and a few clusters of unknown wildflowers are blooming, and at first glance there is a sense of spring and prosperity.

It's just a group of people gathered around the stream, their faces are not very good-looking, and they saw more than a dozen people lying on the ground, their faces black and foaming at the mouth, and their suddenly bulging eyes as if they were still frightened, and they were already dead.

There were also a few people who sat cross-legged and were doing good luck to heal their wounds, their bodies were covered with red or purple abscesses, and their expressions were extremely painful, and two of them couldn't stand it anymore, and they fell to the ground foaming at the mouth, and after a few struggles, they whimpered for their lives! The rest of the people who were standing clenched their weapons and watched on guard, all of them with surprised and frightened faces.

I saw that their feet were in a mess, and they were piled up with all kinds of unknown corpses, or insects or snakes, or bees or butterflies, winged and wingless, legged and legless, large or small, all kinds of forms, all kinds of colors, colorful at a glance, highly poisonous, from the inside exuding a pungent stench, smelling nausea, making people feel dizzy for a while.

This group of people is the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Yuqingguan and the Wuji Sect's brigade of people, led by the law enforcement elders of the Heavenly Sword Gate, the 'Xuanxin Dao people' of the Yuqing Sect and the Jade Whisker Elder of the Wuji Sect, respectively, but they did not see Qin Mian and Lady Tianshui, one of the five swords of the Heavenly Gate, presumably after being repeatedly ambushed and sneak attacked, they were separated and did not come together.

They were surrounded by dense weeds and shrubs and other vegetation, high enough to cover their heads, and there was a buzzing noise inside, and groups of foreign objects were messing around, thinking that they were stimulated by something, and their temperament was very irritable, as if they were ready to rush up at any moment. There are thousands of them, densely surrounding the surroundings.

The law enforcement elder looked at the dozen or so people who were already dead on the ground, and then looked at the few people who were fighting against the venom, these people were getting more and more swollen all over their bodies, and it seemed that they couldn't survive, and they couldn't help but feel sad and angry in their hearts, and raised their voices and shouted: "Shameless demon girl, relying on this layer of dense fog to do some sneak attacks and plots, it is simply shameless!

I saw that his expression was resentful, his whole body was full of real energy, and condensed into a thick layer of protective true qi, his hair and beard were gray, and his temperament was still so irritable and murderous.

As soon as he finished speaking, a girlish voice laughed a few times and said, "Ouch, my dear little elder, my daughter's family, naturally there is no 'seed'! The elder has lived so much at this age, and he doesn't even know this!"

After finishing the words, he laughed a few times, his voice was fluctuating and unstable, and there was anger in the coquettishness, which made people's hearts tremble after listening to it, and he couldn't help but wonder what kind of face was hidden behind this voice!

The law enforcement elder was even more furious when he was provoked by these words, and shouted with a gray beard: "Demon girl, take your life!"

As he spoke, the blue light of the sword in his hand exploded, and he was about to find the sound and fly to attack, but an old man next to him hurriedly grabbed him and said: "Elder, don't be impatient, we have come to this treacherous Qingming Mountain this time, and since we went up the mountain, we have been controlled by people everywhere, and now we have lost more than half, it seems that someone has already arranged it, and what is the purpose of the Demon Dao this time, we have not yet figured it out."

Looking at the current situation, this demon girl just wants to trap us here and prevent us from moving forward, it seems that there must be something important ahead, we have to find a way to get out quickly, not for a while. ”

Although the law enforcement elder was short-tempered, he was not an unreasonable person, and at the moment, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and discuss it with Elder Jade Whisker and the others.

The place where they are located is extremely unfavorable to them, although it is open and flat, but it is completely shrouded in layers of dense fog, and the most important thing is that there are dense plants growing around them that are taller than people, and there are many snakes and insects in them, each of which is extremely poisonous, and the slightest accident is splashed with a little poisonous juice, it may be difficult to save your life.

And this kind of adversity has become the biggest advantage for the people hidden inside, relying on the dense fog and terrain to firmly control these highly poisonous things, surround them, and cannot advance or retreat.

The people of this demonic path are in the company of these poisonous substances, and they can not only be unharmed but also use them, which is really admirable, but the people in the righteous path hate these poisonous insects and foreign objects, and have always disdained them.

After some deliberation, everyone decided to work together to fight a way forward and break through. The law enforcement elder bore the brunt of the attack, only to see that his whole body was full of true qi, and the sword light in his hand increased sharply and rushed out first, but as soon as he boasted a few steps, a rapid piano sound suddenly sounded, like a fierce wind through the forest and the waves cracked the shore, as if stimulated and guided by the sound of the piano, the buzzing insects suddenly rushed towards him like madness.

The law enforcement elder is not a wasted person, his status in the Heavenly Sword Gate is only under the five swords of the Heavenly Gate, and his cultivation is also good, after a roar, the true qi of the whole body skyrocketed, and the light of the long sword in his hand was shining, only to see the sword qi in the sky crisscrossing like lightning like a storm, only to hear the sound of clattering and cutting, and the dense corpses of poisonous insects fell down like raindrops.

He was able to kill for a while, and after his body volleyed in the air and shouted angrily, the light of the sword in his hand doubled, and the sword qi in the sky suddenly retracted, turning into a huge and incomparably large qi sword and slashing down, with a boom, and suddenly the sand and soil splashed everywhere, and hundreds of poisons were instantly blown to pieces.

The Elder Jade Whisker on the other side was not to be outdone, he roared and flew up, the Tiangang purple qi all over his body was surging, and he waved forward sharply with both hands, and each time he could push out a purple cyclone ball, these cyclone balls exploded in the group of insects, and at once the surrounding poisonous insects were blown to the point of flesh and blood, if it was only in terms of lethality, it was even stronger than the law enforcement elders.

The two of them were relieved for a while, only to pity the many disciples behind them, for a while the sky and the underground were all swarming, a few of them with slightly lower cultivation could not stand up, after a few screams, the whole body trembled violently, and the face suddenly spread blue and purple rapidly, the big and big meat bag bulged, and a good face was unrecognizable after a while, and it was miserable.

And there seem to be countless poisonous insects and foreign objects here, endless slashing, with the passionate sound of the piano wave after wave, wave after wave of ferocious, everyone desperately killed for a while, not only did they not have to move forward a few steps, but they were forced to retreat back to the same place, and in the end, the law enforcement elder and the jade beard elder could only barely protect themselves, and it seemed impossible to break out.

After the crowd retreated, the passionate sound of the piano changed abruptly, and it turned down gracefully, like a murmuring stream, whispering, and the furious and irritable state of the insects was somewhat restrained, and they also stopped attacking, and only flew not far away.

Everyone retreated to the spot to clean up the dirt on their bodies, although they were disgusted and angry in their hearts, there was nothing they could do, and some of the young disciples were stunned as if they had been frightened stupid.

The air was filled with a pungent stench, and it was dizzying. Seeing that these poisons are so manic, I am afraid that this piano sound alone will not be able to do it, the Hundred Flowers Valley in the Demon Dao Sect uses the way of poison unparalleled in the world, presumably this woman hidden somewhere must be a native of the Hundred Flowers Valley, and must have used some kind of poison, and can only receive such a miraculous effect with the sound of the piano.

"Girl, everything in the world has its own laws, why do you want to cut off the lives of these thousands of living beings and increase the killing of evil in vain!

The voice was loud and loud, but it carried a bit of pure and peaceful feeling, like thunder rolling to the surroundings, and the restless poison was pressed by this sound, and it was suddenly quiet for a while.

The person who spoke was none other than the Xuanxin Taoist of Yuqingguan, and I saw that he was tall and slightly thin, his hair was curled up high on the top of his head into a standard Taoist bun, he was dressed in a cyan Taoist robe, and a conspicuous black and white Taiji pattern was embroidered on the front, his eyes were pure and peaceful, and his face was kind, even at such a moment, he could not find any other expression on his face.

Hearing this, the enchanting voice sounded again: "Dao Elder is really warm-hearted, not only crossing people to goodness, but even taking pity on these poisons that are hated and hated by all of you in the righteous path, so that people can be moved!

As soon as the words fell, the sound of the piano suddenly sounded again, and the thousands of poisons around them also began to stir, and everyone's faces were shocked, and they were already very frightened in their hearts, and they had to get up and be on guard.

Xuanxin Daoren's face was still calm, and he continued to admonish: "Girl, there must be a cause and an effect, why bother with a single thought!"

"Hahaha, Dao Chief, these thousands of poisons are used by me today, and they are their fruits, if Dao Chief, you die here today, it is also your fruit that you will not know!"

The coquettish voice suddenly became fierce, and suddenly the murderous machine emerged, and the sound of the piano was also mentioned, like a dragon going out to sea high-pitched and excited, thousands of poisons suddenly became restless, and after a while, they became fierce and rushed towards everyone.

Xuanxin Daoist also stopped talking, his expression was still so kind, and his eyes were pure and peaceful, but there was still no ripple.

I saw him take out an object from his bosom and spread his hands forward, and the thing slowly rose in front of him, and the shape was round like a mirror, and the blue-black and ancient surface was dull, as if chaos had not been opened.

Immediately after that, he swiped his hands towards the void, and quickly formed a pure Xuanqing Tai Chi pattern, the shape and size of which were almost the same as those of the mirror, and the glittering and trembling also floated upward, overlapping under the ancient mirror-like object, and was sucked in at once.

The thing seemed to be instantly infused with infinite spiritual power, trembling violently and quickly rushed into the sky, the volume quickly extended in all directions, and after a while, it became extremely wide, like a huge black cloud floating in the air, the sky changed suddenly, and the already dim sky suddenly became dim, as if everything in the air was sucked into it.

With a loud bang, a huge pillar of cyan light shot out from under the ancient mirror-like object that had become huge, and quickly surged in all directions, only to see the rolling cyan light waves swept away surgingly, and the layers of dense fog were washed away one after another, and the surrounding area was suddenly bright.

The manic thousands of poisons were illuminated by this light, and the speed of the forward rush suddenly decreased, and they all stopped and circled in place, and after a while, most of the angry states gradually subsided, and finally quieted down and dispersed.

There are also some who are even more furious, and after a flutter up and down, left and right, they explode and die, the flesh and blood are blurred, only the sound of 'pop' explosions can be heard endlessly, and the foul smell of blood in the air is thick for a while.

After the fog was dispersed, I saw a young girl not far away standing on a huge strange bird flapping its wings, wearing only a thin floral dress, and holding a simple musical instrument like a pipa in her arms.

She looked up at the huge thing in the air, and a charming smile appeared on the faces of everyone here, then she turned the bird's head and galloped away, and disappeared into the layers of dense fog in the blink of an eye, leaving a coquettish voice from afar: "The 'Qianqing Ancient Mirror' really lives up to its name, and the slave family will not accompany it first!"

There are three strange mirrors in Yuqingguan, one is the blazing mirror that is now all the silent void, and the other is this Qianqing ancient mirror, the Qianqing ancient mirror is an ancient divine object, which specializes in restraining the evil and filthy things in the world, and there are all kinds of miraculous effects and infinite uses, which is a rare treasure.

But the most amazing and weird thing is another strange mirror called the 'Yin-Yang Phantom Mirror', which is said to be able to create an enchantment independent of time and space, and hide everything in the enchantment, along with the enchantment itself has disappeared without a trace, but this Yin-Yang Phantom Mirror has been lost a hundred years ago and is still missing.
