Chapter 210: Lonely Mountain (1/5)
The man in the iron mask grabbed this unconscious and pale Xiao Suifeng in his hand, dragging four impermanent ghosts who didn't know life and death behind him, and the black qi of the forest lingered all over his body, almost covering the entire body At the same time, it also made the body of the man in the iron mask look a lot taller, it was really like a demon god who came out of the deepest part of the defense, making people look at it, and infinite fear was born from the bottom of their hearts.
Step by step, the man in the iron mask was not in a hurry, just thinking about the high place of the stone steps.
The movements of the man in the iron mask did not seem to be very fast, and there was no rush in the slightest, but one step was often able to cross a dozen steps, and three or two steps would cross a dungeon.
It didn't take long for the Man in the Iron Mask to finally climb the eighteenth floor of the dungeon in a row, and he walked out of the dungeon of the stone tower.
In the entire stone tower dungeon, there are eighteen floors underground, and there are three floors on the ground, but the real guards in the stone tower are only five people. In addition to the ancient immortal who was in charge of this dungeon, there were only the four impermanence subordinates of the ancient immortal.
As soon as Gu Immortal realized that he could no longer control the man in the iron mask, he turned around and went to ask for help from Taiyan.
Gu Immortal could be expected that after he reported the matter in the dungeon to Tang Taiyan, the owner of Aoki Villa, would definitely not give him a good look, and he would even be severely punished.
It's just that although Gu Immortal is a little psychologically distorted and his style of acting is a little weird and perverted, he is still clear about major events. At this moment, report to Taiyan and ask for help from Taiyan, although he can't escape the punishment, but he is always like he is self-reliant, and in the end, the result of letting the man in the iron mask escape completely is smaller.
Therefore, among the five people, Gu Immortal went to find the help of Taiyan, and the impermanence of the four who were left by Gu Immortal to contain the Iron Mask Man had already been defeated by the Iron Mask Man, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
So, the Man in the Iron Mask walked all the way up from the bottom up, but he didn't even encounter a single guard, and the only people he encountered were only four prisoners who were also locked in the iron prison.
It's just that, compared to the Man in the Iron Mask or Xiao Suifeng, who was treated by Gu Immortal with special treatment, the identities of those four prisoners are much more normal, just looking at Gu Immortal only imprisoning them in the first few layers of the dungeon, you know that their identities should be nothing special.
And in fact, the identities of these four prisoners are indeed the same, among them, two of them are secret agents of the Cold Moon Sect, and the other is for the Jianghu people who have ill intentions towards Aoki Villa, all of them were discovered because they trespassed into the range of Aoki Peak without permission and inquired about the news of Aoki Villa. It's just that after they were discovered by Aoki Villa, they were not killed in the first place, so they were locked up in a dungeon that did not see the light of day.
As for the remaining one, it was originally a person from Aoki Villa, but because he made a big mistake, he was also imprisoned in the dungeon.
Among these four people, the longest has been imprisoned for five years, and the shortest has also been imprisoned for more than a year, because they have been in a bad situation of not seeing the light of day for a long time, and they are often tortured by the ancient immortal perverts, so the four people are basically no longer humanoid at the moment, all of them are like withered and colorless, and the image is not much worse than the ancient immortal.
When the Man in the Iron Mask walked all the way, he also directly knocked the four people out of the iron prison, just like the four impermanences, they were also strangely dragged behind by the Man in the Iron Mask. This may be a calamity for those four people, but in a sense, it is also to help them free themselves from the hell built by Aoki Villa, and they have barely done a good thing.
Naturally, if you want to be completely liberated, you have to wait until they are really dead or released by the Man in the Iron Mask before they can really count.
As for why the Iron Mask Man bothered so much energy to attack these four people, the reason was that he was just like Xiao Suifeng and wanted to take their blood for his own use.
In this way, the man in the iron mask rolled a Xiao Suifeng in his hand, stretched out his hand and dragged eight impermanence and prisoners who did not know life and death, and walked out of the dungeon as if no one was around.
However, outside the dungeon, there were already a large group of Aoki Mountain Villa guards facing each other.
There were dozens of these guards, all of whom were originally guarding the outside of the stone tower or patrolling near the stone tower, and they had obviously been reminded by the ancient immortal before, and knew the power of the man in the iron mask, so they did not take the liberty of it, but just blocked the exit of the stone tower according to the unique battle formation of Aoki Villa.
These guards were already solemn after the general strength of the iron-masked man, but they were also self-aware, until even if they were numerous, they had no chance of winning in the face of opponents with extraordinary strength, even if there were several of them who were masters of the potential realm or even the qi realm, there was no possibility.
Their only role was to rely on the resistance of the battle array, and before the ancient immortal invited Taiyan over, they would stop the man in the iron mask from escaping easily.
In fact, after the ancient immortal suddenly turned back, the alarm bell in the stone tower had already been sounded.
It's just that this alarm bell can only attract the guards, protectors and the three elders in Aoki Villa at most, Xiang Taiyan, the owner of Aoki Villa who already has an artistic conception of cultivation, but it will not appear easily, even if the alarm bell of the stone tower rings.
Gu Immortal knew this, so after ordering someone to ring the alarm, he still rushed to find Taiyan in person as soon as possible.
Gu Immortal also has the cultivation strength of the Great Perfection of the Qi Realm, and the speed is naturally even stranger, so it doesn't take long to invite Taiyan here. In addition, those Dharma protectors and elders of Aoki Mountain Villa, after hearing the alarm bell, should also be the first to rush over, and the time may be shorter.
Therefore, the time that those ordinary Aoki Mountain Villa guards had to fight for was not very long.
But Rao was like this, and when he thought that he was about to face an enemy with already cultivated skills, those Aoki Villa guards were still nervous.
And just as they saw the man in the iron mask coming out of the stone tower and seeing the appearance of the man in the iron mask, they couldn't help but gasp one by one, and the look on their faces was also extremely frightened.
The appearance of the Man in the Iron Mask is already different from ordinary people, and the fact that he is covered in black at the moment is even more terrifying. As for the eight impermanence or prisoners behind him who were dragged by him like this, and who looked no different from corpses at the moment, they were completely like devils returning from hell, revealing endless gloom and weirdness, and it was even more terrifying to see.
This scene, for these guards of Aoki Villa, is really like a nightmare that happened in reality.
It's just that the quality of these guards of Aoki Villa is good after all, although they are extremely afraid in their hearts at this moment, they have no intention of retreating and getting out of the way, and they still stick to their respective formation positions.
Among these guards, the leader was only a master of the first level of the Qi Realm, seeing the strange and gloomy appearance of the Man in the Iron Mask, he also felt a chill in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth and shouted loudly to embolden himself, "Stop, don't move forward!"
After the Man in the Iron Mask walked out of the stone tower, he was also slightly stunned when he saw the guards of Aoki Villa.
But the next reaction of the man in the iron mask was only stunned, and then, for the loud shouting of the Qi Realm master who was the leader, it was as if he hadn't heard it, and he only took a moment's notice to take another step forward and walk forward by himself, as if nothing existed in front of him.
This time, the Man in the Iron Mask did not use the power of one step as he did to deal with the four impermanences before, and directly stunned the strength of the four impermanences, but it was really just an ordinary step.
However, Rao was like this, and the power of the man in the iron mask still made the guards of Aoki Villa tremble, and they couldn't help but retreat in unison.
It's no wonder that these Aoki Mountain Villa guards are timid.
If Gu Immortal hadn't told them about the strength of the Man in the Iron Mask before leaving, they would naturally be fearless, and might even rush directly to fight the Man in the Iron Mask. It's just that the fearlessness born of ignorance can only kill them in the end, and maybe most of them are dead by now.
Right now, Gu Immortal had told them about the enemy they were about to face, letting them know that the Man in the Iron Mask was actually a cultivator with a conscious intention.
These guards of Aoki Villa are all warriors, and it can even be said that they are all the best among the warriors, although none of them have reached the realm of artistic conception, and no one may even be able to reach it throughout their lives, but as elite warriors, how can they not know the meaning of the word artistic conception, and they don't know the strength represented in it?
In this case, it is normal for Mr. to be timid without a fight.
However, after taking a few steps back, these guards of Aoki Villa looked at the iron-masked man who was approaching step by step, and they couldn't help but look at each other in fear and at the same time, and in the end, it was still the artistic conception master who was the leader who gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, "Change the arrow array!"
The battle formations of Aoki Villa are varied, and the means of attack are also diverse, which can be attacked or attacked from a distance. At this moment, there was still a distance of more than ten zhang between these guards of Aoki Mountain Villa and the man in the iron mask, so they were naturally in a long-range attack position.
With the shouting of the Qi Realm master led by him, the battle formation formed by dozens of Aoki Mountain Villa guards was slightly deformed, and the people were instantly divided into three layers.
The first layer was arrayed with swords and shields in front as a protection against the war, while on both sides of the back, there were crossbows in hand, aiming at the man in the iron mask.
Next, with a soft call from the slightly wrinkled aura master, "Release!" The guards in the second row first pulled the trigger of the crossbow, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows flew directly towards the iron-masked man.
The guards in the second row immediately shot the crossbow arrows in their hands, and at the same time, the guards in the second row quickly collided with the arrows for the crossbow and prepared for the second round of firing.
It was a simple round-robin process, and due to the limited equipment available to the ordinary guards of Aoki Villa, there were small crossbows in addition to long swords and short shields. And this crossbow is not a chain crossbow that is just a continuous fire, but an ordinary and small hand crossbow, which can be classified as a hidden weapon. Although this kind of hand crossbow is small, it can be carried around and is not noticeable, but it can only shoot one crossbow arrow at a time, and it is necessary to load the arrow.
At present, this kind of round-robin arrangement is just to make full use of the time for loading arrows, so that the opponent can face a continuous rain of arrows, and he can't deal with it at all.
At this moment, these guards of Aoki Villa, after finding that their words could not stop the man in the iron mask, immediately chose this method, wanting to directly kill the man in the iron mask in the rain of arrows. As for Xiao Suifeng and the other eight people who don't know whether or not to live or die next to the man in the iron mask, what the result will be, it is obviously no longer in their consideration.
In their eyes, leaving the Man in the Iron Mask behind was obviously their first priority, and as for the life or death of the rest, it was only a matter of resignation.
Naturally, the guards of Aoki Villa did not do it, whether it was the duty of these guards who were originally guarding outside the stone tower, or the orders of the ancient immortals, they did not allow the man in the iron mask to escape. In order to achieve this goal, even if it is accidentally injured or even killed by mistake, it doesn't matter, even if it is Na Taiyan, it is impossible to hold them accountable afterwards.
It's just that their decision is good, but the power of the arrow array is obviously worse for the Man in the Iron Mask.
The effect of this round of arrow rain, if it is placed on an ordinary master, is naturally very effective, even if it is an absolute master with high-level combat power such as Xiao Suifeng, in the face of this kind of arrow array, although it may not be fatal, but if you want to deal with it, it is not easy, if you are not careful, you may be injured.
It's just that, obviously, what these guards of Aoki Villa are facing right now is obviously not an ordinary master, or even a decision master, but a master of artistic conception who is really standing at the peak of today's martial arts.
As the leader of the guards at the beginning of the Qi Realm gave orders repeatedly, a rain of arrows came in turn, and more than a dozen rounds of crossbow arrows actually created the appearance of a rain of arrows, and the black pressure shot towards the iron-masked man.
It's just that when the black rain of arrows was about to fall on the man in the iron mask, he didn't see the man in the iron mask make any other moves, and he didn't even see the man in the iron mask raise his head more, but those crossbow arrows were suddenly blocked by an invisible force, and they were fixed in the air about half a foot away from the man in the iron mask.
This scene immediately frightened the guards who wrote Aoki Villa, and they even forgot about the continuous shooting in their hands for a while.
It's just that the guards of Aoki Villa were shocked by the sudden change in front of them, but the situation obviously won't stop here.
After a few moments of pause in the void, those crossbow arrows suddenly seemed to be turned by an invisible force, and one by one they turned around and aimed at the guards of Aoki Villa.
Seeing this, the leader of the guards at the beginning of the Qi Realm was cold, but he was the first to react, and he hurriedly exclaimed, "It's not good, form a shield array, take precautions!"
Before his words fell, the crossbow arrows that had been parked in mid-air had already burst out, shooting back one by one, and the speed and power were even more powerful than before! )
