Chapter 293 Passage Collapse
Unlike Xia Zheng, Cui Yu's uncle Zhu Lian seems to be easy to talk to.
Compared with ordinary Xuan Cang sect members, Zhu Lian looked a little thin, and his snow-white complexion also looked a little unhealthy. Especially when he stood in front of the tall Cui Yu, his figure became even more frail.
But no one dared to underestimate him.
Because this middle-aged man, who is a head shorter than Cui Yu, actually has the strength to build the Great Perfection!
Therefore, Su Ziyi was stunned when he saw the person for the first time. This was the first time he met a practitioner of Foundation Establishment, and the person looked quite young. Maybe attaining the golden elixir would be just around the corner. But this elegant man, who was expected to break through to the golden elixir and had a bookish air all over his body, was quite polite to Su Ziyi at the moment.
"On the way, I heard A Yu talking to Qiu Ci about Su Daoyou many times." A shallow smile appeared on his face. Although it didn't give people a warm feeling like Gu Lincong, it still gave people a warm feeling. On the contrary, it made it easier for Su Ziyi to accept it. "Little Ling'er also woke up a few days ago. It's all thanks to the help of fellow Taoist Su."
"You're welcome, elder." Although he didn't reject it, Su Ziyi felt more vigilant than he should have.
"I also know how presumptuous it is, but I asked A Yu to invite you over, but there is really nothing I can do about it." He gently touched his lower lip with his teeth, and the color of his lips turned white. When he let go of his teeth, he passed. It took him a while to regain his composure: "Fellow Daoist Su must also know what happened in the past few days." "Yes." "
When
my senior brother, A Yu, his master left with his people, I still felt Things shouldn't be that difficult this time, but we didn't expect that we underestimated the Blood Refining Sect." His eyelids closed slightly, and he looked like he was deep in thought: "So, these days, It's getting more and more difficult for us to deal with it."
"I think you have also seen it, fellow Taoist."
"Well, is there anything I can do to help?" Su Ziyi had come prepared, but naturally at this moment He would not pretend to be deaf and dumb, but was the first to say this: "If there is any, the elder can just speak."
Hearing his words, Zhu Lian was stunned for a moment.
Although he had not dealt with Su Ziyi before, from Xia Zheng's words and deeds and Cui Yu's hesitation, he could infer that Xia Zheng was not friendly to the Su family and did not trust them. Therefore, when he asked Cui Yu to invite Su Ziyi over this time, he originally thought that he would have to talk more, but he didn't expect that the other party would be extremely cheerful?
Is this a misunderstanding caused by his senior brother who was bitten by a snake once before and was afraid of well ropes for ten years, which left a huge shadow in his heart?
Or is this Su Ziyi hiding himself very well?
No matter which one it was, it did not prevent Zhu Lian from reacting immediately: "Then thank you Daoist Su first." After saying that, he took out
a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Su Ziyi, and Su Ziyi took it I opened it and found that there was a map drawn on it.
"This is?"
"This is the map leading to the territory of our Xuan Cang Sect." Zhu Lian also came over, stretched out his slender finger and pointed at a point on the map: "We are here now." His finger Walking along a black line, all the way to the top: "And we have to follow this road to reach the territory of Xuan Cang Sect." "
Then this road is a bit far." The other party naturally showed the detailed map. It was impossible to give it to Su Ziyi, so Su Ziyi could only look at some general directions of mountains and rivers from this picture. But relying on these alone, he found that the road ahead was not easy to walk. It was mountainous and rivery, with narrow roads, harsh environment, and uninhabitable. There would probably be quite few human villages and towns: "It will also be difficult to walk."
"Yeah." Zhu Lian snorted softly and randomly clicked on several locations on the map: "These locations are quite suitable for ambush and outflanking." "These days, the Blood Refining Sect and
other Although people from the evil cultivator forces have been harassing them, they have not actually used their full strength. They must be trying to catch us all here." He said solemnly: "I guess there will definitely be more than that when the other party comes. A few, maybe a dozen, maybe even dozens."
"Although we saw through their plan at a glance and tried our best to kill them on the spot when the other party came to harass them, there were still many If you are injured, you may be helpless when facing an ambush from the opponent."
Su Ziyi could naturally see this result, and he was still thinking, even if he joined in, what would be the use?
But it was impossible for him to just surrender. "Then, elder, please tell me how I can help." He put away the scroll with a very sincere expression on his face.
When Zhu Lian saw this, the smile in his eyes became a little brighter, and he began to really talk about his plan to Su Ziyi.
When he was still in the Yuan Kingdom, Su Ziyi had read about it in books and knew that the Dai Kingdom was a country with many mountains, rivers, and rocky areas. But until now, after he followed the disciples of the Xuan Cang Sect in a carriage, he could not reach this point. It was only when we were walking on the cliffside path that was about a foot wide that we realized just how big this "many" was.
There was a road cut out of fragments of stone at one end. From time to time, some small debris fell from under the head, or fell into the turbulent river more than ten feet deep below as the carriage rolled over it. On the other side of the river, there is a smooth and huge stone mountain formed by large blocks of granite stones. Lush trees grow out of the intersections of the stones, making it look green.
A few hundred feet ahead, a hundred-foot-high waterfall poured down from a mountain cliff. The huge roar it caused blurred other sounds, so that Su Ziyi and his party could only hear the rushing water falling. sound.
Bian Qing, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked over. After taking a look, he withdrew his gaze and focused on the solemn face of Su Ziyi. He quickly sat down next to Su Ziyi, completely Don't be afraid that to his left is a large river that can instantly carry people dozens of feet away.
"Why are you out?" Along the way, everyone's horses and carriages were walking cautiously, just for fear that they might accidentally startle the horses and fall off. So Su Ziyi was very cautious when driving. When Bian Qing came over, he only glanced at it and then returned to the road in front of him.
"It's nothing, it's too boring to sit in there." Bian Qing flipped up his hair and said with a relaxed look.
But his clenched hands showed that what he was pretending to be was definitely not that simple, and he was just pretending not to care.
His little trick couldn't be hidden from Su Ziyi. Su Ziyi didn't even look at it and said: "Don't worry, I know it well." After saying that, he gave a gentle "drive" sound in his mouth and pushed the hesitant horse forward. Go.
Although they walked very cautiously and slowly, a few hundred feet was not a distance, and they reached it in a short time.
As soon as you get nearby, everyone stops talking, because unless you shout at the top of your lungs, it's impossible for the people next to you to hear what you are saying clearly. Moreover, the thick water vapor and splashing water droplets made the horses in the team more and more panicked. If they didn't put most of their thoughts on suppressing the horses, they would probably cause trouble soon.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
He could vaguely feel the atmosphere around him changing. Before Su Ziyi could even raise his head, his consciousness caught the stone roof above his head and cracked into several pieces with a "squeak" sound, and pressed towards their heads! Immediately, he put down the whip in his hand, grabbed Bian Qing's waist with one hand and jumped out of the carriage, and threw something towards the middle of the team with the other hand.
Before anyone could see the thing clearly, the entire passage collapsed completely, and the rocks collapsed and crashed into the river below the waterfall.
When all the dust fell to the ground, the team of more than a hundred people disappeared, and only the smell of blood seeped out from the rocks.
This smell, like a delicious dish, attracts people in the dark. After they carefully explored it several times, they proudly walked out of the darkness, drove their flying swords through the water from the top of the waterfall, and came to the place where the hillside collapsed.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's so miserable." The foundation-building cultivator had sharp eyes, and he immediately found several horse corpses and patches of blood among the scattered rocks. Occasionally, he could also find a short hand or a broken arm. foot. And when he penetrated his consciousness into it, he didn't catch any signs of living life.
This time, he was really relieved.
He waved his hand in one direction, and in an instant, another group of people came from the other side with swords. They lined up and stood in the air. After careful counting, they found that there were seven or eight people. With so many foundation-building cultivators, wherever they are placed, they are a force that cannot be underestimated, enough to make ordinary people feel terrified.
After using their spiritual senses to investigate, the last traces of nervousness on these people's faces disappeared and replaced with proud expressions. They felt that this time's plan was really great.
But just when they were feeling proud and ready to go down to count the loot, they suddenly felt a burning sensation in their arms.
Their expressions immediately changed, and they immediately took out the things in their arms, and then they saw a jade pendant that was as red as blood, turning red and hot at a very fast speed. When it reached its peak, the jade pendant actually "stuck" and cracked in half, turning into two gray and cold stones.
For a moment, they were all dumbfounded.
And before they could react, the hillside they had previously blown up suddenly erupted with a huge explosion from the inside out, and a dazzling white light bounced towards them with a large amount of rubble!
Chapter 294 Counterattack and foundation building
"Whoosh -"
Like fireworks, accompanied by a sudden flash of white light, countless fine steel needles as small as hair came out like a heavy rain, breaking through the spiritual shield of the cultivator, sinking into the human body, and instantly blocking it. The spiritual power running inside the body greatly reduces the protective power.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, there was a scream in front of the waterfall, and the smell of blood also escaped.
Looking at the ruins of the passage that were originally buried by rocks, a huge hole has been blown out from the inside out. In the center of this opening, there were a dozen Qi refining practitioners tightly surrounding each other. They each held a golden pestle in their hands and raised it high above their heads. They held up a pale white shield, covering all the people under the ruins. All protected.
It's just that this golden pestle consumes a lot of energy, but in this moment of effort, it has almost absorbed the spiritual energy in these people's bodies, and their faces are pale and pale.
The other people who were still alive quickly took this opportunity to push away the rubble and rubble in front of them, and escaped from the spiritual shield before it was shattered, standing on the mountain that had not yet been blown up. , working together to help others move smoothly. By the time the spiritual shield was completely broken, they had already fled more than ten feet away.
"Crack-"
The sound of the spiritual shield breaking was very obvious. It broke into several pieces almost in the blink of an eye, freeing the gravel that had been excluded by the spiritual shield before and started falling like hail. As they fell, they were about to bury these dozen people -
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Several sharp sword energies suddenly appeared and rushed into the air, smashing all the gravel that rolled down. Turned into a stone as small as a fist. It was as fragile as a piece of stone and turned into fine powder. It fell to the ground like fine snow and covered the person's head, causing the already tired cultivator to cough crazily.
By the time the only sound left in my ears was the sound of water pouring down from the waterfall, everything had settled.
All this happened so fast, even if those foundation-building practitioners who were injured by the fine needles wanted to take action, it was already too late. When they tried to use their spiritual power, they suddenly discovered that an unknown medicinal power was emitting from the thin needles that had been inserted into their bodies, desperately blocking their communication with spiritual power, making them unable to use any moves at all. Come on, even the flying sword began to fall uncontrollably.
This time it’s terrible, I’ve been tricked!
The practitioners of the Blood Refining Sect, who have always liked to use sneak attacks and secret methods to deal with others, never thought that they would also have such a day. This is really like being pecked by an eagle all day long.
At this moment, they had nothing else on their mind but regret.
They no longer had the energy to think about the sudden abnormality of the jade pendant, nor did they want to pursue the Qi practitioners who had just escaped. They just wanted to use their spiritual power to communicate with Feijian, escape from here, and avoid being swallowed by the waterfall. . You know, this waterfall is so high and the volume of water is so large. If it really hits them, even if they are building a foundation, they will have to break a few bones.
Unfortunately, God did not follow people's wishes. When one or two of them finally blocked the power of the medicine and finally connected with their own spiritual power, a figure suddenly emerged from the half of the ruins with a sword, blocking their way. Way to go.
This really made them hate it.
The person who came was none other than Su Ziyi. Although he had consumed a lot of spiritual power just now, because of the Snowmelt Pill and the fact that he was not injured or poisoned, he was much better off than the practitioners in front of him. I saw that he was extremely fast. He raised his sword and dropped it, seriously injuring a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. He made the other person kneel down and fell into the deep pool of the Baizhang Waterfall, unconscious.
Su Ziyi's sudden appearance made those who were still alive extremely vigilant, but after losing three or four people in a row, they discovered that the only person who came was Su Ziyi?
Suddenly, hope was rekindled in their hearts, they suppressed the medicinal power in their bodies, and activated their flying swords and magic weapons to surround Su Ziyi.
Killing several foundation-building cultivators in succession did not make Su Ziyi swell. He had already sensed the other party's intentions when they first took action. He rushed to a place with the least manpower and killed them first. Another foundation-building cultivator appeared, and a gap immediately appeared in the surrounding circle.
Then he quickly took off into the air, avoiding being flanked by people on both sides. And at the moment when people surrounded him, a talisman appeared on his fingertips. Without even looking at it, he activated it and blasted it downwards. Immediately, he seriously injured several people again, causing the opponent to stagger and even stand on the sword. Unstable.
Only then did these practitioners of the Blood Refining Sect realize that they had fallen into a trap from the beginning.
Although they had never seen the foundation-building practitioner in front of them, seeing how he used high-level talismans and elixirs as if they were free, they knew that his identity was certainly not simple. Especially when Su Ziyi took out two more talismans and fired them at them, they couldn't help but feel despair in their hearts as they were dragged down by the infinite power of the medicine. They had to grit their teeth and take out the things from the bottom of the box to defend themselves.
Suddenly, the battle situation became tense.
After burning the incense for nearly a month, those practitioners of the Blood Refining Sect who were affected by the medicine were suddenly surprised to find that the restricted spiritual power in their bodies began to return to normal little by little! This made them very happy. Their eyes looked at Su Ziyi with murderous intent, and they became more cautious in their actions, thinking of finishing this man completely after their spiritual power had recovered to almost 10%.
But Su Ziyi didn't think so much. His moves were wide open and closed, and all his actions were not afraid of wasting spiritual power. All he wanted was to seriously injure and kill more foundation-building practitioners in the shortest time, without any consideration. What will happen when the opponent's spiritual power recovers or when his spiritual power is exhausted?
Therefore, when the level of spiritual energy flow in these people's bodies can support them to use a large amount of mana-consuming spells, only four or five of the dozen or so people are left.
But this person is enough to deal with Su Ziyi.
That's what they think.
However, they were completely consumed by anger and forgot one thing.
Just when they raised their weapons and prepared to move forward to kill Su Ziyi, who was already exhausted, a strong spiritual pressure suddenly appeared from behind them and reached the battlefield at a very fast speed. Before they had time to use their spiritual senses to explore what was going on, a five-foot-long Mo Dao came straight through with the force of piercing the air. The cold sword intent on it completely separated them from Su Ziyi.
Su Ziyi also took this opportunity to flee from the place with his sword. When these people tried to chase him again, they had already missed the best time.
"Dang!"
After Mo Dao spun around in mid-air, it returned to its owner's hand again. The metal nail sheath matching the owner's hand made a cold collision sound, and the people who heard it were shocked. It was also at this time that the remaining cultivators of the Blood Refining Sect came to their senses and looked at the man with a complicated face, Zhu Lian, who had a gentle face but was full of murderous intent.
Zhu Lian at this moment was different from when he met Su Ziyi that day. He was wearing a black and gold armor. The cold light of the metal reflected a deep color in the sunlight, giving people a heavy and extremely safe feeling.
However, in the eyes of the Blood Refining Sect cultivators, this is an endless chill.
Especially when this man was holding a bloody head in his free hand, he still had a gentle smile on his face.
"Boom!"
The head fell from his hand and fell directly into the river with white waves. Then it was swallowed up by the waves in the blink of an eye, without even a trace of blood spilling out. Seeing this, the other Blood Refining Sect practitioners couldn't help but swallow their saliva, making a "gudong" sound in their throats, and a thin layer of cold sweat formed on their foreheads and backs.
"Third Elder..."
What on earth is going on?
Why would the three elders responsible for suppressing the rear and supporting them appear here with their heads beheaded? And who else? These people are just the first group of people responsible for spying. The ones who can really deal with the foundation-building practitioners of the Xuan Cang sect still rely on the third elder and several other late-stage foundation-building elders.
And now...
although they can't believe it, the facts are here, and they have to believe it.
They themselves and their rear areas were all captured by Xuan Cang Sect.
In a daze, they remembered the dozens of broken red blood jade pendants. The red blood jade pendant was used to send emergency messages, related to different strongholds of their Blood Refining Sect. This time, in order to severely damage Xuan Cang Sect, they mobilized most of the cultivators from several nearby strongholds, leaving only a few foundation-building cultivators to garrison, and some strongholds did not even have one.
Once there is a problem in the stronghold, the red blood jade pendant in their hands will glow red and hot, sending them a message so that they can get their troops back in the shortest possible time.
But now...
when they think about a dozen red blood jade pendants being split into two pieces in an instant, they have no other thoughts except absurdity.
Is Xuan Cang Sect so powerful?
No, where did they come from? How did they manage to break through their stronghold in a similar amount of time?
Is it Xia Zheng? No, it shouldn't be. The Bliss Sect has already sent people to stop Xia Zheng, so it shouldn't be Xia Zheng. Then... his eyes are filled with unconfidence, but looking at Zhu Lian coming alone, there is no other possibility except this one. possible.
It was the man in front of him who
dispersed all the foundation-building practitioners who were escorting the disciples in the Qi-refining stage, and destroyed all the nearby Blood Refining Sect strongholds at once.
This sounds a bit impossible, but who is this person in front of me? That is an elder of the Xuan Cang Sect who can fight across levels and fight against many! Who is this person in front of me? That was Zhu Lian, the famous "General Wen" in Xuan Cang Sect! Who is this person in front of me? He was the smiling lunatic who once single-handedly selected a Rakshasa sect stronghold with five foundation-building practitioners!
At this moment, all hope was completely shattered.
