Chapter 15: The Sword Ladder
Looking down at the cliff, there are clouds and mist, and there is no bottom in sight.
"What should I do?" Li Xiaoyao frowned tightly, since he entered the Mani Heavenly Palace, he had rarely seen this carefree boy brother have any chic. The most I saw him frowning, as if he was the head of a faction.
Xiao Sheng was silent, as if he had made some kind of determination, slowly turned around, hugged his fists at the Central Plains martial arts people, and said: "Xiao Sheng of the Sword Forge Gate, I don't know how many swords you have left?"
Inexplicable question, but after seeing that the man in front of him in a big black cloak was actually Xiao Sheng, everyone was furious.
"How dare the lackeys of the Demon Cult appear in front of us!" someone shouted angrily.
"Traitor! the swordsmith must be ashamed to have such an unfilial apprentice as you!" someone scolded again.
Xiao Sheng stopped Li Xiaoyao and Ye Qiuli beside him from talking, and silently listened to these unbearable insults. It's ridiculous, why doesn't anyone dare to draw their swords when they're so angry? He thought to himself, and the disdain in his eyes intensified, but he didn't open his mouth to refute it.
Seeing that Xiao Sheng didn't speak, the voice of abuse gradually disappeared. Perhaps sensing the comical appearance of his righteous indignation but not daring to draw his sword and feeling ashamed, everyone bowed their heads in unison.
"I asked, how many more swords are there?" Xiao Sheng slowly spoke this time, continuing the question just now.
"What do you want to do with this!" In the end, Li Zixiu spoke, he didn't want to die here, so he had to cooperate with Xiao Sheng right now.
"Go off the cliff!" Xiao Sheng's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he was full of energy.
"You mean?!" Li Zixiu realized something, and there was a bright light in his eyes, "You have to make a way with your sword!"
Everyone listened to the conversation between the two and was shocked, and then realized this last possibility. Without waiting for Xiao Sheng to speak again, a sword was inserted vertically in front of Xiao Sheng. With the first, soon there was a second, a third...... The last sword inserted in front of Xiao Sheng had a total of thirty-three swords.
"Xiaoyao, I'll go first, you follow. Xiao Sheng first said to Li Xiaoyao, and then turned to Ye Qiu Li and said, "Qiu Li, you hand us the sword above." ”
"You actually let you pick up such a showy thing?" Li Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows, but did not refute Xiao Sheng's decision. At this time, most of the people who said this sentence didn't want Xiao Sheng to be too nervous, because the next thing to do, one wrong step, was to break his bones!
Ye Qiuli nodded, leaving him on it to deter these Central Plains martial arts people is the most suitable.
After Xiao Sheng finished speaking, he pulled out Wu Feng and plunged it into the edge of the cliff, making this heavy sword the first layer of the ladder. After inserting Wufeng, Xiao Sheng's right hand holding the hilt of the sword twisted, pulled out the inner sword, and put it into the scabbard where Xiao Jian was originally placed, which was an unexpected coincidence.
Xiao Sheng turned around and pulled out the two swords on the ground and jumped into the cliff!
After estimating that he had fallen about fifteen meters, Xiao Sheng fiercely plunged his double swords into the cliff, the sword slashed through the rocks, and slid down about five meters before stopping. Xiao Sheng pulled out the sword in his left hand, and held the other sword in his right hand, leaned against the stone wall, and said to Li Xiaoyao above: "A sword every twenty meters!"
Li Xiaoyao nodded, indicating understanding. At the same time that Xiao Sheng let go, Li Xiaoyao threw out a sword and rushed straight at Xiao Sheng, Xiao Sheng made a move with his right hand, the sword started, and then the double sword entered the wall. At this time, Li Xiaoyao also jumped onto the sword on Xiao Sheng's head.
"Come again!" Xiao Sheng saw Li Xiaoyao take the sword given by Ye Qiuli, let go of his right hand again, and fell down, Li Xiaoyao threw the sword, Xiao Sheng took the sword again, and then the double sword entered the wall......
Ye Qiuli has been sending a sword to Li Xiaoyao at the top of the cliff, and Li Xiaoyao threw the sword to Xiao Sheng to relay in the air. Xiao Sheng's figure did not have a trace of hesitation, this is an unreserved trust in his brother!
Soon, five swords were inserted on the cliff from the beginning of the blade, but the cliff at this time was still bottomless.
Ye Qiuli gestured on it, indicating that if he went down, he would not be able to see clearly, and the fog was too big. So I had to let the drunken down and use it as a station again in order to continue the relay.
Four more swords were inserted, and this was already the ninth, but the cliff was still bottomless. So, Xiao Xinyan also went down.
Four more, the thirteenth sword, still bottomless. Ye Chuli hesitated, because he didn't know who else would have the courage to descend this cliff, just as he was about to jump off it himself......
"They are all greedy people who are afraid of death, and they are not as brave as even two women!" A rugged man walked out of the crowd, scolded and walked out, and jumped off the cliff without hesitation.
I don't know if it was stimulated by the strong man, and at the seventeenth sword, another person jumped down desperately.
Twenty-one, twenty-five, twenty-ninth! With each additional sword, the people on the cliff gasped.
Thirty-three swords, all gone, and everyone was disheartened—this cliff was so high!
Ye Qiuli looked at the Wentian Sword in his hand, and was about to send this love sword down, but he heard good news.
"Bottoming out! Bottoming out!" The message from the bottom up made everyone feel shocked, did they really do it? Thirty-three swords, that's nearly a thousand meters high!
Just as everyone on the cliff was about to rush up, Ye Qiuli pulled out the Heavenly Questioning Sword, drew a white line in front of him, his eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Those who cross this line without permission will die!"
"Lord Ye Meng, what do you mean by this?"
"One by one, if anyone dares not to comply, don't blame me for being ruthless with the Heavenly Sword in my hand!" Ye Qiuli swung his sword, and the sword qi forced everyone to take a step back.
is a very reasonable request, and no one dares to make trouble with Ye Qiuli at this time.
Soon, everyone descended safely down the sword-paved staircase to the bottom of the cliff.
Under the cliff was the leeward direction, and there was only a shallow layer of snow, and after a few steps forward, I saw a footprint going down the mountain. Needless to say, it must be left behind by the remnants of the Demon Cult. It seems that they also ran away in a panic, and although they cut the stairs, it was too late to erase the traces.
Now that everyone has lost their swords, naturally they have no intention of catching up and destroying the remnants of the group, but just follow the footsteps and try to leave the mountain quickly and return to the sect.
On the way, everyone was silent.
In this battle, the Mani Heavenly Palace was destroyed, and only one remnant of the Demon Sect was left to flee. However, more than 100 Central Plains martial arts heroes on this trip were killed and wounded, and only 50 people survived, and they were also severely damaged.
"I should be able to live a peaceful life for a few days. "That's what everyone who survived thought.
At this time, Xiao Sheng and the five of them ran towards Chang'an City, planning to go their separate ways when they arrived in Chang'an City.
