Chapter 21: Reunion and Fierce Battle
Towering mountains, clouds and mist, strange peaks and strange rocks are countless, it is the time of the cold winter in Yanzhou, the whole mountain range is withered, frost and snow cover the top, the mountaineering road is difficult to find, and there is no trace of it under the heavy snow. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Qi Yue, who was anxious, scratched his ears and cheeks, turned around and asked, "You are a local, don't you know where the road to the Blood Demon Mountain is?"
Xiang Ping, who fell behind him, slowly stepped forward, gently pulled the reins and spread his hand, and said: "This Blood Demon Mountain was originally called Tianshen Mountain, and it is rumored that it was a place where the ancestors sacrificed to the gods in ancient times, and the entire mountain range was uninhabited within a hundred miles, so there was no way out at all."
Qi Yue frowned, looked up, and saw that the peak was covered by a layer of mist that completely covered the sky and sunlight, and it looked like it was indeed a good place to worship.
"Since it is a place of sacrifice, how did the ancient people go there?"
Xiang Ping turned over and dismounted, rubbed his sore shoulders, and said: "It is said that there was a shortcut here back then, but later because there was no one to worship here all year round, the road was already covered by wind and snow over time."
"How is this good?" Thinking that Jiang Feng and the others had gone up the mountain half a month ago, Qi Yue was becoming more and more anxious in his heart, worried that something had happened to them.
Seeing that Qi Yue was anxious, Xiang Ping patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, your senior brother and they should be fine, maybe they are also blocked from the mountain like us, and now they are looking for a way somewhere, this is all possible."
"You're right, the height of this mountain is rare in my life, not to mention the perennial wind and snow on it, and it is not so easy to go up with light work. Let's look around, maybe we can meet fellow martial artists, and it's good to find out the news" Qi Yue regained his fighting spirit, untied the reins of the horse, and walked all the way to the mountain with Xiang Ping and the two.
The two walked one after the other for about half an hour, the way up the mountain became less and less obvious, the cold wind beside them continued to intensify, the temperature dropped again and again, and the qi released by Qi Yue from the body became stronger and stronger, but it still couldn't stop the roar of the power of heaven and earth.
Even Xiang Ping, a local, was shivering from the cold and struggling.
"We can't go on like this!" Xiang Ping suddenly stopped and shouted as he walked.
Qi Yue turned to look at him, and asked while stabilizing his anger, "What's wrong?"
Xiang Ping crossed the knee-high snow layer in two big strides in a row, came to Qi Yue and said: "You can't go any further, the further up the wind and snow will be, once your internal strength is exhausted, we will be frozen to death here."
Looking at the heavy snow in the sky and the continuous howling wind in the mountain stream, Qi Yue didn't think about this problem, but this Blood Demon Mountain was full of silver and white, and he couldn't see where there was a cave or leeward place, so he could only move forward step by step.
"Bear with it a little longer, if you can't do it, you will open a cave in the mountain wall," he said, ignoring Xiang Ping's objections, pulling him up and starting to continue walking.
After about a cup of tea marching forward, suddenly the sound of the wind in their ears gradually became quieter, and the two of them intuitively felt that their bodies gradually became lighter, and they were no longer as difficult as before.
"I didn't expect there to be such a shelter from the wind, it's really God's favor!" Without the resistance of the wind, the two of them could do whatever they wanted, and Xiang Ping's depressed mood seemed to dissipate.
Just as the two of them were about to rest their feet and recover some strength, there seemed to be a fight not far ahead.
Just as Qi Yue and the two were discussing whether to go over and take a look, there was another loud shout: "Demon Dao!
"Why is this voice so familiar?" Qi Yue suddenly remembered, this seemed to be Dongfang Xuan's voice.
"Come later, I'll go over and take a look first!" With a force under his feet, his body shot out quickly, and disappeared at the corner of the mountain road in a blink of an eye.
"Eh~!Wait for me!" Xiang Ping was not to be left behind, and followed the immature light skills to catch up.
............
Qi Yue stepped on the rocks on the mountain wall, like a spirit ape leaping, agile and fast, and soon discovered the source of the fighting sound.
The leeward col seems to have been deliberately tidied up, and there are twenty or thirty tents of all sizes stationed in a small place, and the most important thing is that there is a large-scale melee going on here, and the two groups of people are completely different from their clothes and martial arts, but they seem to have a deep hatred for each other, and they are all merciless with red eyes.
"That's ......" Qi Yue didn't rush to join the battle group, he hid behind a rock, quietly observing the battle situation inside, and suddenly found that Dongfang Xuan and Jiang Feng were actually inside, and it seemed that they were both suppressed.
The person who fought against Jiang Feng, with a handsome face, arrogant expression, a blood-red straight robe, and a strange iron fan in his hand, this person was superb and ghostly, no matter how sharp Jiang Feng's swordsmanship was, he dodged them one by one, but from time to time a burst of red light appeared on his body, forcing him to collect his sword again and again.
And Dongfang Xuan is more special, his opponent is a Taoist who wears a feather crown and wears a Xuan robe, that Taoist doesn't know what means to use, he actually uses a mediocre magic sword to crack Dongfang Xuan's sword moves one by one, and he can only passively fight back.
As for the other people on the field, at least they are all in the middle of the True Martial Realm, everyone has their own opponents, and there are only about twenty or thirty people on both sides, and the situation is stalemate for a while, and no one can spare extra manpower.
"Good opportunity!" Knowing that as long as one or two people were raided at this time, the situation would change, Qi Yue's body was hidden behind the rock, his eyes looked around for the weaker person, and the Star Swirl pattern in his right fist turned from dark to light, quietly accumulating strength.
Closer to the mountain pass, a man and a woman are fighting, the man will be in his hand with a long-handled severed knife dancing tiger and tiger wind, the move is wide open and close, the suppression of the opposite side of the sword holding Gu can not resist, retreat again and again, the slightest difference will be fragrant and jade.
Suddenly, the sword slashed down, shaking the long sword out of his hand, and he fell to the ground unsteadily.
"Haha~!Go die!" "Such a great opportunity, how could the man let it go, with all his strength, he violently compressed the air to the limit, and slashed at the top of Daogu's head.
Seeing that she was powerless to resist, and that her companions around her were unable to get out, Dao Gu could only slowly close her eyes and wait for fate to come.
"Tick ~ Tick"
The sound of water droplets sounded in my ears, and when I opened my eyes with confusion, I saw an incredible picture.
The man's long knife was no more than three inches away from the top of her head, and she could even feel the tips of her sideburns being cut off by the gangqi, and when she looked up, the man's eyes were round, and the heart of his chest was pierced by a fist that emitted a bright light, and blood was dripping down his fingertips.
Before thinking about it, she could only disappear quickly to save her, and then there was a cry before death came from behind her.
Unexpectedly, with the blessing of the "delusional" state, especially in the case of sneak attacks from behind, no matter whether the other party finds out or not, his attacks are unstoppable, and before the masters in the field are aware of it, Qi Yue has already killed four people, and the situation of the battle suddenly turned around.
Due to Qi Yue's sudden sneak attack, his own side suffered heavy losses, and the other party had to put down his hands to fight, retreat a distance, and gather together.
"Senior brother!"
Jiang Feng ran over with excitement, glanced up and down, and said in surprise: "It turns out that you are not dead!"
I should have been happy to meet again after a long absence, but Qi Yue was choked and said, "Eh...... Be...... yes!"
The evil paths on the opposite side looked at him one after another, and the red-clothed man led by him said with a gloomy face: "I didn't expect you to have helpers, but haven't you hypocrites always kept the top open, how can you do this sneak attack behind your back?"
"Hmph! The competition between our righteous paths is naturally above board, but to deal with you demons and foreign ways, why do we need to talk to you about the rules of the rivers and lakes!" Qi Yue did not wait for others to answer, and directly stepped forward to refute it.
"Good!"
The accident attracted the cheers of a group of colleagues, which suddenly made the faces of the people opposite even more ugly, and just wanted to get angry, suddenly seemed to be collectively stunned for a moment, and then the man in red snorted coldly: "I will let you go this time, and I won't have such good luck next time!"
"Oh no, they want to run!"
"Boom~!" A burst of smoke and dust rolled up, and more than 20 people disappeared collectively.
"Damn, escape so fast!" Jiang Feng hated the evil people the most, and when he saw the other party slipping away under his eyelids, the resentment in his heart could be imagined.
Qi Yue was just about to say something, when a powerful aura suddenly crossed his head, and a big man with a giant sword appeared on the snow in front of him.
Jiang Feng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his head to admit his mistake: "Uncle Yu, the demon is cunning, let them escape"
"What!" the man was furious, staring at Jiang Feng as if he was going to eat him.
Seeing that the situation was not right, a Taoist leader holding a dust whisk walked out of his crowd, and persuaded with a smile: "Senior Brother Ling's anger is relieved, the demons are responsible for escaping us, but the enemy is at present, please put away the anger for the time being, and we will consider it in the long run."
"Hmph!" The giant man seemed to be familiar with the Taoist, and he didn't say much when he saw him pleading, but instead turned his eyes to Qi Yue on the side and asked, "Who is this person?"
Jiang Feng finally escaped the catastrophe, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Senior Uncle, this is the little junior brother Qi Yue I said before, and the junior brother has never seen Senior Uncle Ling Kuang."
Qi Yue glanced at the other party, and saw that he was tall and abnormally tall, carrying a tall black iron heavy sword on his shoulder, and his appearance was rough, but he was somewhat similar to Ling Zhan, so he immediately understood in his heart, so he saluted respectfully and said: "Disciple Qi Yue, I have seen Uncle Shi!"
"Hmm" Ling Kuang looked at him a few times, then turned to face everyone and announced: "It's getting late, leave one group of people to keep vigil, another wave of people to rest, rotate in the second half of the night, and continue to explore the way forward early tomorrow morning."
After Ling Kuang's order was given, everyone dispersed one after another, and each began to be busy with their own affairs, seeing that it was not the first day they were together.
............
Half an hour later, the night fell and it was even colder in the Blood Demon Mountain, and a large number of bonfires were lit in the mountain col, Qi Yue, Jiang Feng and others, as well as Xiang Ping later, gathered around to tell each other about their experiences of the day.
