Chapter Twenty-Three: The Killing of the Valley
I put those healing and replenishing spiritual power elixirs close to my body, meditated quietly and breathed in, and adjusted myself to the best state.
Three days are fleeting, we are all integrated in front of the Taihe Palace, the people who fought this time, in addition to our hundreds of inner disciples, the outer disciples are even thousands, maybe they are just cannon fodder, but looking at their nervousness with excitement, maybe they think this is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
When the battle is about to begin, the head of the sect naturally promises many benefits, what kills one enemy, can be exempted from chores for life, kill ten enemies, can get a spirit pill, kill fifty enemies, can enter the inner door, kill hundreds of enemies, can become a core disciple, etc., are some means to win people's hearts. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just a bait, but there are still many people who are very angry at the so-called reward.
After saying a bunch of nonsense, the head of the sect asked several elders and the thirteen junjie to lead us to this place of battle. This battlefield is very peculiar, a little far away from us, and it is actually outside the valley, one of the three places of death.
Listening to them, no matter how high the cultivation is, how many people there are, after entering the three places of death, basically no one can go back, which makes me feel a bad premonition in my heart.
The valley is the closest place to die, and it is in the territory of this Di country, and the decisive battle here is extremely unfavorable to the people of both factions, and there is no reason to be in such a place. I asked Qiu Xuan secretly, and he also shook his head and said he didn't know.
Although the valley is still in the territory of Di Kingdom, it is still far away from us, and it takes us three or four days to go, but we pick some inaccessible paths.
Hurry during the day, and find a mountain to meditate and vomit at night to recover consumption. This time, it wasn't just me, but some people were also wondering, it didn't look like a war at all. I suppressed the doubts in my heart, and although I was a little inexplicably frightened, I still pretended to be expressionless. I noticed that there were three people who came out of the firmament and kept an eye on me, and even meditated in a posture that surrounded me.
At daylight the next day, we were on our way when we encountered a dozen people fighting in front of us. After a little inquiry, it was said that it was a Baiyumen spy, and they were discovered by Qiu Xuan.
I squeezed forward to look, but there was one man and nine people fighting together. The people of the Firmament Sect, listening to the people around him, are Zheng Dong, who ranks eighth among the thirteen Junjie, with one enemy and nine, but he does not fall behind, and the two-handed sword is extremely fast, and the sword aura of the entire battle situation is vertical and horizontal, and it is difficult for ordinary people to take a step closer.
As the crowd watched, a man suddenly flew out of the mud below, and hurried away. But it was the disciples who searched below who discovered the anomaly, and there was a person hiding in the mud and wanted to get through. The man's speed was extremely fast, seeing that the distance was getting farther and farther, everyone was anxious, but they were helpless, if their whereabouts were exposed, the road ahead would definitely be ambushed, but the elders did not speak, and no one dared to move.
At this time, an elder squinted his eyes slightly and slowly slapped a palm forward. This palm looked light and fluttering, but saw the surrounding void rippling, in front of the fleeing person, a huge palm suddenly appeared, instantly grabbed this person in his hand, like pinching a mouse, slowly sent over.
This elder is the Fifth Peak Elder, what is his name Yuan Dao, it seems to be the younger brother of the head Yuan Xu Zhenren, and he is a ruthless old man. The giant palm sent the Bai Yumen person who was caught in front of him, Yuan Dao looked at the person with a cold face, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How many people are on your trip, how many core disciples, and how many elders are here?"
The white jade man's face turned purple, and he was obviously caught a little tightly, but his eyes showed a fierce light, and he clenched his teeth and didn't make a sound.
Yuan Dao turned his head to look ahead, but the giant palm was clenched tightly, and with a soft "bang", the whole person of the White Jade Gate suddenly splashed blood, and his flesh and bones were mixed, and he was already too dead to die.
Many outer disciples have never killed anyone, they didn't have such a scene, they couldn't control it one by one, they vomited wildly, and some female disciples were directly scared and cried or even fainted, and everyone suddenly rioted.
I laughed, and I knew the cruelty of killing at this moment, but unfortunately, I couldn't go back.
Yuan Dao glanced at it coldly, and the nine people who were fighting with Zheng Dong immediately surrendered. After tying up the people, he immediately continued to move forward.
Absolute Valley, as the name suggests!
Here, there is no grass, no trees, no water, no sound, no life, not even wind. There was a cold aura here, and when I was in it, what I felt was not fear, not fear, but a kind of depression, a kind of trembling hidden in the bottom of my heart. Here, life is cut off, hope is cut off, because, there is no light!
In the sky above the valley, there was a dark cloud of black oppression, very black, very dark! No one knew when this dark cloud would form, when it would disperse, when it would consume life. Above is the black cloud, below, is the desolate area, at this moment, it seems, this valley, as if it is a huge mouth that chooses people to eat, the fangs have not appeared, just because it is not time to kill!
I dare say that at this moment all of us, each and every one of us, even though thousands of us are together, feel lonely, we feel fearful, and we don't want to stay here even a breath.
In a person's life, many people may not encounter such a place, it brings you despair, is the deepest darkness in the heart that is most unwilling to touch, this is difficult to describe in words, like, death in my heart is more and more uneasy, I don't know what is going on, it seems to think of something, but I dare not continue to think about it.
I don't know when, it was already dark, and the people from the White Jade Sect had already come, but there was a familiar figure that made my pupils shrink suddenly.
I laughed, just a little desolate, a little unwilling!
Yuan Dao slowly turned his head to stare at me, a hint of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the thirteen junjie also surrounded me. There was also the familiar figure on the other side, Shu He, looking at me, the curiosity in his eyes was undisguised.
The people around seemed to realize something, and slowly kept their distance from me, Qiu Xuan's eyes, there was a touch of shock, staring at me, not knowing what he was thinking.
I lowered my head and laughed out loud slowly, slowly looking up to the sky and laughing. I don't know why, when death is coming, I just can't help but want to laugh, maybe I know that crying and begging for mercy is impossible, and I won't be like this. I just hate, just resent, hate this day, hate this night!
The war between the Firmament Sect and the White Jade Gate is just a pretense, I am a pawn used by Qiu Xi to save my life, and the purpose of sending me out is very clear, that is me! If it was someone else from the Firmament Sect, Qiu Xi would not have called me here, I should have guessed a long time ago, but I was delusional that I guessed wrong.
The nine people who fought with Zheng Dong were indeed from Baiyumen, and the identity of the person who died was unquestionable. The Firmament Sect, they don't need me to believe too much in this war, they just need to make me suspicious, and I can't doubt anything else, and when people's hearts are constantly speculating, they make a group of Baiyumen spies, and a little more firm people's hearts, I obediently came to this place, to the place where they laid the trap. After all, I'm still too naïve, not witty enough, not decisive enough, but I don't understand, I need such a big battle alone!
There were only a few dozen or so people in the White Jade Sect, and they gradually approached, while the Firmament Sect retreated behind me. Yuan Dao waved his hand, and a white-clothed inner disciple came out, and I could see clearly that it was Zheng Dong, who was ranked eighth among the thirteen junjies.
Zheng Dong looked at me with a cruel smile, and slowly pulled out his double swords, the tips of which pointed at me in the distance. My heart is getting cold, I want my life, it's okay, but let me be killed, it's impossible!
I pulled out Qing Zhan suddenly, and the murderous aura was suddenly released, and the murderous aura at this time was uncomparable! This is my hatred, this is my unwillingness, this is my anger, this is my roar!
At this moment, my murderous aura and the yin aura of this place reflected each other, turning into a yin wind, whimpering, and making everyone present change their faces.
Zheng Dong swung his sword upward, and I didn't hide it, and all the power of cultivation exploded!
His sword is fast, and my sword is faster than his! He is a double sword, and I have both hands! If he wants to kill me, I will let him die!
Zheng Dong's swords were raised horizontally, his body swirled, and the Dao sword aura was swirling, like a hurricane attacking me. The surrounding area was within his sword array, and the ground around him was marked with deep ravines.
I gritted my teeth, slowly touched the blade of the sword, and as he approached, I stabbed out with lightning speed!
This hurricane is the ultimate speed of his sword, but I only need to see the slightest crack to kill him with a single sword!
There was no shock, no violent collision, Zheng Dong's sword stopped abruptly, and then hung down weakly, because my sword, piercing through the center of his eyebrows, passed through the back of his head.
Drawing my sword, I watched as the sticky blood dripped from the tip of the sword to the ground, waiting for the next person to kill me.
Yuan Dao's face can be imagined, this time, he is still one of the thirteen junjie, I don't know the ranking, and I don't bother to know.
"My name is Li Yang, and I don't know why I want to kill you, but since those old guys have spoken, I have to do it. ”
"There's a lot of nonsense, if you want to kill, let's come. ”
Li Yang didn't draw his sword, and walked towards me step by step. My pupils shrank, and every step he took seemed to be on top of my heartbeat, and I didn't dare to retreat, but as soon as he took five steps in a row, my heart beat more and more intensely, approaching the edge of an explosion, and with a sharp grit of teeth, I also took a step forward.
"Poof", a mouthful of blood spurted out, and I saw him shake his head.
I swung my sword and slashed out several sword qis, kicked my footsteps, and flew forward.
Li Yang flicked his fingers to disperse the sword qi, and when he saw me rushing towards me, he actually reached out and grabbed Qing Zhan, not afraid of the sword qi and the sharpness of the sword blade, as if that hand was copper skin and iron bones, and the handle threw me out.
He was too strong! I was thrown more than ten feet away, my blood was unstable, and I stumbled a few steps before I could stand still. He still walked step by step without hurry.
I spurted out a mouthful of blood on Qing Zhan, the spiritual power filled the sword body, and the upper body turned violently, cutting out a sword qi several zhang long!
Li Yang was a little more upright, and took out the sword, but only pulled out an inch, and I saw a white light, there was a moment of numbness, the blood-colored sword qi dissipated, and there were more than a dozen wounds on my body, and blood was gurgling.
Holding my sword weakly, I looked around and watched the expressions of the people around me, whether indifferent, sympathetic, or unbearable. Li Yang's sword could have killed me, but he didn't, did he disdain to kill me, or did the group of old immortals in his mouth not allow me to die?
Li Yang went back, and in his place were one hundred and ten outer disciples. I don't know what orders Yuan Dao gave and what rewards he received, the people who came to kill me all took a weapon, some were greedy, and some couldn't bear to look at me.
This is a massacre, it is my slaughter of them! I used all the spiritual power in my body, Qing Zhan followed me, sucking enough blood!
Stumps and broken legs were everywhere, I killed softly, I killed with all my strength, I killed numbly, but they still rushed in, and it seemed that they were used to the bloody scenes that they couldn't bear before.
I swung my sword to block a shot, turned around and slashed down, and landed in front of a little girl younger than me! Looking at her frightened eyes and tears, I hesitated, but when I hesitated, the little girl's sword pierced into my abdomen.
Closing my eyes, I cut off half of her head with a sword, turned around, slowly pulled out the sword inserted in my body, and looked at the people around me covered in blood. There were a few people around, shivering, looking at me in great fear.
At this moment, I am the Grim Reaper, their Grim Reaper!
