At this moment, a sword light circled over and plunged into Taofeng's chest. He took a few steps back, still laughing to himself——
"Ha ha……"
The middle-aged man turned around suddenly. He had lost all his magic power. He turned over his hand and grabbed a talisman, and was about to deliver the final blow. Before he could use the talisman, his head exploded with a bang. He fell to the ground with a "plop", and there was still a short sword stuck in his back.
"Brother Tao——"
Yu Ye used his sword energy and succeeded again, but saw that Taofeng was seriously injured, so he went over to check, but suddenly he heard a scream——
"oops……"
Twenty or thirty feet away, Yu Xin and others surrounded the Qizhou monks and fought hard. But without Taofeng's help, he, He Qingnian, An Yunsheng, Luo Chen, and Meng Qingqing were no match for the three Qizhou monks. Without paying attention, Meng Qingqing fell to the ground. The other party took the opportunity to get rid of the siege. One of them pounced on Yu Xin, one blocked He Qingnian, An Yunsheng, and Luo Chen, and the other activated his flying sword to pounce on the Chen family's children.
The sword light was as fast as lightning, and it rushed into the crowd in an instant. Blood and flesh flew everywhere in an instant, and screams arose loudly.
Yu Ye had no time to take care of Taofeng, raised his hand to grab a talisman, turned into a wind shadow and broke through the rain and fog.
The person who pounced on the Chen family disciple was a stout man. Just as he was using his flying sword to kill innocent people indiscriminately, a wind shadow hit him hard. He immediately flew out in the air, his waist and abdomen exploded with a "bang", and the splattered blood dyed the sky red with wind and rain. Feng Ying suddenly stopped. Before he could check the casualties of the Chen family's children, he heard two more screams.
Yu Xin and Luo Chen fell to the ground one after another, leaving only He Qingnian and An Yunsheng struggling to fend off the two Qizhou monks, but they were already in a hurry and surrounded by danger.
Yu Ye was already very anxious, but he had no choice but to use a Wind Control Talisman again and rush over desperately.
A man slashed at An Yunsheng with sword light. An Yunsheng blocked it with his sword. The dagger was released with a bang, and he quickly pulled out two Lihuo Talismans. Unexpectedly, the fire exploded and the sharp sword light struck again. He was forced to grab a long sword, and the "Qiang" blade broke. His arms suddenly shook violently, and he couldn't help but stagger at his feet. Suddenly there was another flash of light, and his limbs were bound by magic power. Just when he was desperate, a cyan dragon shadow suddenly came and blocked the sword light with a "bang". The man who had already rushed forward fell to the ground, and a stream of dirty blood spurted out from the blood hole between his eyebrows.
In an instant, the dragon shadow disappeared, and a person emerged from the wind and rain, it was Yu Ye who was stumbling.
Then He Qingnian shouted: "The thief escaped——"
The man who fought against He Qingnian was extremely strong, but the deaths of his companions one after another had left him with no fighting spirit. Seeing Yu Ye coming to help him, he turned around and fled far away.
"Chase--"
Yu Ye shouted and shook his body.
Someone stepped forward to help him, and it turned out to be Yu Xin. There was blood on the corner of his mouth, and he was also shaking.
"Is it anything serious?"
"Finish your duty to eradicate evil——"
He Qingnian came to the front and said anxiously: "Hurry up and chase -"
Yu Ye grabbed two wind-controlling talismans and handed them to the two of them. He took out another wind-controlling talisman and slapped it on himself. They jumped up from the ground and turned into a gust of breeze to chase after them.
The direction in which the Qizhou monks fled was a forest at the foot of the mountain, hundreds of feet away from the beach. But in an instant, he had rushed into the woods. At the end of the forest, at the foot of the mountain, there is a secret cave entrance, and a wooden door seals the cave entrance. He hurriedly opened the wooden door and shouted: "Miao Qi..."
He was either calling for help or reminding his companions to escape. But just as he called out his companion's name, a bloody hole exploded in his back, but he only severely injured him and failed to kill him with one blow. And two figures as fast as the wind rushed over, and "Puff, Puff" slashed him to the ground with two swords.
A strong man jumped out and shouted angrily: "Who is so arrogant here..."
Yu Xin and He Qingnian, who had already appeared, were the first to bear the brunt and slashed with their swords without saying a word.
The man raised his hand and used a sword light, and with a bang, Yu Xin and He Qingnian flew backwards. He is also a master at the eighth or ninth level of Qi refining. Even if the two of them work together, they can't block the other's powerful blow.
At the same time, Yu Ye, who appeared in figure, bucked the trend and used the sword technique with a flick of his finger.
Unexpectedly, he flicked his fingers repeatedly, but there was no movement. The magic power in his body has gradually been exhausted, and he can no longer use a sword energy.
The man was close at hand, swinging his sword to strike at him.
Yu Ye didn't dare to retreat, so he raised his hand and smashed out two Dragon Subduing Talismans. Then he used up the last bit of mana, made a talisman with both hands and shouted: "Sleepy——"
Before the man's sword light fell, he was suddenly enveloped in light and struck with force.
Yu Xin and He Qingnian were still rolling on the ground, each vomiting blood, but they jumped up with all their strength and pounced on them like crazy.
Yu Ye reached out and pulled out the blue steel sword.
But in the flickering light, the man fell to the ground, and the two of them were still slashing wildly, blood and flesh flying...
Yu Ye's feet went weak, his long sword hit the ground, and he knelt down on one knee with a bang, breathing heavily.
After a while, Yu Xin and He Qingnian finally stopped. They were both covered in blood and sat paralyzed on the ground.
As for the man from Qizhou, his flesh and blood were so bloody that he couldn't see clearly.
At this moment, a urgent cry for help sounded——
"Benefactor, help me..."
Where you are is a cave.
Looking with the light of the torches on the stone wall, one side of the cave was piled with messy items; the other side was blocked by a circle of wooden fences. There were actually more than twenty people crowded inside the fence, including men and women, old and young. A middle-aged man called for help through the fence, and the rest of the people waved and looked expectant.
Yu Xin and He Qingnian looked at each other, then turned to look at Yu Ye.
Yu Ye grabbed the sword and stood up with difficulty, but shook his head and said nothing.
Yu Xin and He Qingnian exchanged glances, helped each other up, then looked at the men, women, and children inside the fence one by one, and asked aloud: "Why are you all here?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "I am a boatman, from Weiguo. This time I went to Qiguo. I was kidnapped by thieves and came here the day before yesterday. I thought I would die, but who wants to meet three benefactors..."
"How many thieves are there in total here?"
"Seven."
"Are you all from Weiguo?"
"We are all in the same boat..."
Yu Ye turned around and walked out.
He was afraid that there were thieves or masters hiding in the cave. Now that he has no strength at all, even a Jianghu man can't deal with him. He had used nine sword energies one after another, and he had tried his best.
Outside the cave, the rain is still falling.
Yu Ye sat on the stone next to the cave entrance, holding the long sword in his arms, leaning his back against the stone wall, and slowly closed his eyes. The cold rain hit his face and soaked his body. He didn't realize it, but his heart was trembling slightly.
It is the exhaustion after fighting hard, and it is the unbearable chill of winter rain. Perhaps it is the involuntary fear and the inability to face life and death...
"Rumble--"
A burst of thunder faded away.
Yu Ye raised his eyes and looked at the sky.
Dongle?
Bad omen.
The old man in the village said that the winter thunder shakes everything, and there are soldiers and thieves running rampant in the world.
And suddenly there was a red cloud in the gray sky...
No, it's a red oil umbrella.
Yu Ye was suddenly startled.
Yu Xin and He Qingnian had broken open the fence and released the imprisoned men, women, and children.
At this time, someone walked out of the cave, held up a red umbrella, and looked at him intently with his head lowered.
Is it a woman?
The woman was wearing a red coarse cloth dress, with a red cloth kerchief tied up her black hair. She looked in her mid-twenties, with a beautiful and elegant appearance.
Yu Ye couldn't help but grasp the long sword in his hand.
The woman smiled sweetly, twisted her waist, moved her steps lightly, and left.
And she not only wears a red umbrella, red clothes, and red handkerchief, but also the embroidered shoes under her feet are red...
Yu Ye shook his head.
Although the woman's appearance and clothing are eye-catching, she is just an ordinary woman after all. Fortunately, she was rescued, otherwise she would not have been able to escape the murderous hands of the thief.
People kept coming out of the cave.
Yu Xin and He Qingnian also walked out. One was limping with an injury on his leg, the other was in tattered clothes and looked haggard. Both of them were covered in mud, water and blood.
"According to the boatman, two of his brothers died. If we hadn't met you and me today, more people would have died."
"The boss of the ship offered gold and silver as a thank you, but we and I refused. After he carried back the looted goods and rested for a while, he set off for Qi..."
Encountering a powerful enemy this time, the two men changed their previous bragging skills and became extremely ferocious. They even joined forces at a critical moment to eliminate the last powerful enemy. Several other Taoist disciples also sacrificed their lives, which made Yu Ye feel shocked and secretly respected.
"I don't know if Brother Tao, Luo Chen and Qing Qing are seriously injured, and I don't know what the Chen family's casualties are."
"Brother Yu, you and I should go back and take a look!"
Yu Ye stood up with his long sword and followed Yu Xin and He Qingnian back.
Through the woods and a hillside is the beach.
The miserable wind and rain that had been raging for a long time gradually stopped.
A group of men and women who had just escaped from the prison were running toward the ship on the left. On the beach to the right, there were patches of bloody mess.
The children of the Chen family gathered together and were busy treating the injured; An Yunsheng and Luo Chen stood side by side, both with sad faces...
Both Yu Xin and He Qingnian's expressions changed slightly and they hurried over.
Yu Ye was unable to run, so he chased after him with one deep kick and one shallow kick.
A dead body lay in the pool of blood in front of An Yunsheng and Luo Chen.
A bloody hole opened in the shoulder blade of the dead body, and a sword hilt was exposed on the back. It was the foundation-building expert who had long since died.
Another person kneeling a few feet away turned out to be Tao Feng, with a short sword stuck in his chest. He raised his head and stared, grinning, but he was also completely lifeless and his soul was gone.
"Brother Tao——"
Yu Xin whispered with a trembling voice.
He Qingnian knelt down on the ground and said with a sad smile: "Haha, Brother Tao, you and I have not yet entered the world, but you took a step ahead..."
When Yu Ye came closer, his eyes were blank, his sword banged on the ground, and he sighed silently.
An Yunsheng's eyes were red and he was sad and silent.
Luo Chen's shoulder is injured, but it should be fine. He gritted his teeth and whispered: "Brother Yu, I'm afraid Qingqing won't be able to hold on anymore..."
"ah!"
Yu Xin looked back.
Sitting under a rock more than ten feet away was a woman with a depressed look, it was Meng Qingqing.
"Qingqing——"
Yu Xin turned around and ran over, not forgetting to call out: "Yu Ye——"
Yu Ye took a deep breath and moved slowly.
Meng Qingqing collapsed on the ground, with large amounts of blood oozing from her waist and abdomen. With a look of despair on her face, she said with tears in her eyes: "Senior brother... my Qi sea has been broken, and my cultivation has been completely lost..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter-"
Yu Xin walked to Meng Qingqing's side in a few steps, leaned over and comforted him: "I'll just start practicing again in the future. It's important to heal my wounds right now..."
"No need!"
Meng Qingqing shook her head and refused, raised her hand and said: "Yu Ye, this is for you——"
Yu Ye was still a few feet away and hurriedly quickened his pace.
But he saw Meng Qingqing holding up a bug woven from grass leaves with one hand, and lifting the messy hair on his cheek with one hand. He smiled with tears in his eyes and said, "Yu Ye, do you still remember the ten miles of misty rain I gave you? A hundred years of worldly mortals." The dream is over, ten miles of mist and rain have passed, the green luan spreads its wings to the sky, and the breeze goes away..."
Remember her last sentence, it should be the breeze that can travel thousands of miles. Before the word 'Wanli' came out of her mouth, a trace of blood suddenly overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and she fell softly with a sad and relieved smile.
"Qingqing, Qingqing——"
Yu Xin grabbed Meng Qingqing's veins and shouted: "Silly girl, you actually cut off your heart..."
Yu Ye's figure paused and froze in place.
What does it mean to cut off your heart?
die!
Meng Qingqing would rather die than lose her cultivation...
At this moment, I heard Ah Hu shouting again: "Taoist Master Guiyuan, Taoist Master Guiyuan——"
Yu Ye's heart skipped a beat, his body swayed, he forced himself to move, and staggered away following the sound. Within a moment, he seemed to be struck by lightning and fell to the ground with a "plop", but he held the sword tightly with both hands and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Ahu and others lifted a bloody old man from the muddy water...
