The wind stopped.
Drums sound, rise.
On this auspicious day, there was no wind and sand, no war. Noble leaders from all directions, great masters and masters of various sects gathered under the command of the Emperor Daqi, waiting for the bells to sacrifice to the heavens to start ringing.
At the same time, in an unknown wilderness, the White Snake Swordsman was walking alone.
He thought he had forgotten many things, but with every step he took, his heart became heavier and heavier.
The lost child, who had been struck down by confusion and despair, stood up straight.
——It is your smile in my memory that guides me.
The crazy nobleman was troubled by emptiness and loneliness. He looked up at the stars.
——May the moonlight convey my love tonight and provide annotation for your tears.
Now, he is no longer a nobleman, let alone a child.
Bai Feng, unsheath the sword.
"Dang..."
The white phoenix that had been waiting outside the door for a long time knocked on the outer door of the Taiping Tower in response to the bells for worshiping the sky.
"Who is it?" As soon as the disciple who came to answer the door opened the door, Bai Feng immediately broke through the door with a fleeting opportunity!
"ah!!!"
After a scream, the head was separated, and Bai Feng suddenly appeared in the Taiping Tower.
"Come on, someone broke in!"
"Stand your ground and don't let him pass."
"Archer, prepare~"
Before he finished speaking, Bai Fengye had already raised his sword to kill him. He jumped directly into the crowd and fought with blood, without any intention of dealing with them.
While chasing, throwing flying knives, and slashing with horizontal swords.
Miserable screams came one after another, and short limbs and broken arms were everywhere in the place they passed.
After a while, the gray clothes were stained with blood and turned half red.
Seeing that the whole group of guards outside has been wiped out, the swordsman is like a free flying arrow. The more you run, the more he pursues you. No one can stop him, so he continues to move forward, so the remaining people outside can only retreat quickly. Inside the Taiping Tower.
His end point is obviously not here.
"When the white snake comes to the world, the star of disaster comes. If any of you want to become an immortal, you must first cut off this white snake like me!" Bai Feng raised his sword and faced the guards in the tower: "Why, no one dares to come?"
When the Taiping Taoists heard that it was the "White Snake", they immediately knew that the other party was the White Snake Swordsman, and they became even more frightened. They blocked all the entrances and exits of the Taiping Tower, using the gate as a cover and not daring to say a word.
After a while, a voice came from the third floor of the tower, saying: "White Snake Swordsman, do you dare to come here directly and risk your life?"
When Bai Feng saw that the other person was Tianxuanzi himself, with fair hair and childish face, he immediately replied: "You know what I'm looking for, Tianxuanzi."
"Bai Feng?" Tian Xuanzi said angrily with veins on his forehead: "You boy, you have the courage. In that case, why don't you just rush up? The Taiping Tower is nine stories high, and there are many guards on each floor. Can you really survive? Walk up to the miko?"
"Hahaha!" Bai Feng looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "I specifically chose this day to come to your place because I knew you would not have backup, and I am not just one person."
——If you don’t believe it, just listen...
Boom, boom, boom.
"what sound?"
"Thunder? Rain?"
"No, that's not right!!!"
After a while, a boy came from the south wall to report, "Uncle Master, there is a large group of people in the south pushing our wall. A one-armed swordsman has already entered. It is difficult for us to resist!"
Before Tianxuanzi could agree, a flying knife came through the wind!
"Be careful!" A man pushed Tian Xuanzi away and caught the flying knife with one palm.
"Li Keyong!" Tian Xuanzi went over to briefly treat Li Keyong's wound with some concern, and then said: "Li Keyong, take this medicine pill and don't take it until it is absolutely necessary. Go, Kill the White Snake Swordsman. Taiping Taoists listen to my orders and follow me to defend the south wall. We must not be breached!"
Li Keyong raised his hands and said in respect, "Disciple, take your orders."
After that, Li Keyong jumped down from the third floor and faced the enemy with his male and female swords.
Without saying a word, Bai Feng used quickness to defeat the enemy. His sword was as fast as the wind, forcing Li Keyong to retreat one after another. He was wounded even after three moves.
Li Keyong secretly took the elixir without thinking much.
"Li Keyong, stop blocking my way, you are no match for me!" Bai Feng walked towards the Taiping Tower step by step. Seeing that the opponent did not react after being injured, he relaxed a little.
Unexpectedly, Li Keyong suddenly roared, threw away his male and female swords, and then rushed towards Bai Feng. He waved his palm like a giant bear, and actually slapped Bai Feng several feet away from the door of the Taiping Tower.
"What a strange power this is!"
Bai Fengguan Li Keyong looked strange. There were no pupils in his eyes, only the whites of his eyes, which looked like he was "crazy".
Not long after, Li Keyong rushed straight at him like an ox. Bai Feng couldn't avoid it. He was pushed up and pushed to the ground. No matter how Bai Feng slashed and stabbed with his sword, Li Keyong seemed to feel uncomfortable. Continue to suppress it until it hurts.
"No way...no way, I saw the vital point!" Bai Feng felt that several bones in his body were broken, and he was a little out of breath: "How could you...die in such a place."
Just on the line between life and death, the mighty voice of support came like a timely rain.
"Mr. Bai, we are here!"
"White Snake Swordsman!"
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
——It was Dali Temple, and Yuchizhen released the prisoners.
Seven or eight big men surrounded Li Keyong and lifted him up forcibly, but even so, he kept pestering him like a crazy buffalo. In the end, a total of seven or eight ropes were wrapped around him to tie him up.
"You..." Bai Feng stood up tremblingly: "Thank you very much."
Bai Feng and the others looked at each other. Most of them were sallow and thin, and could not be said to be of immediate combat ability, but they saved his life at the most critical moment.
——That’s the case.
"Come in with me and save your family!"
The White Snake Swordsman called and responded in every possible way.
There are hundreds of human sacrifices imprisoned in the Taiping Tower, all of which are carefully selected "high-quality goods". The Taiping Taoist priests divide these people into nine levels according to their different talents, different qualities, etc., and each level is divided into nine levels. People are treated very differently.
Among them, the lowest-ranking people are at the bottom of the tower, enduring the pain of flesh and blood and the torture of dismemberment all day long. The hearts, livers, spleens and stomachs taken from their bodies will all become materials for sacrifices.
Most of those who were lucky enough to survive were tortured beyond human form.
The further you go up, the more different people you see. It is almost obvious that the higher up people live, the more prosperous they live, and they are often more likely to become real Taiping Taoists, although in fact they are all human sacrifices that can be sacrificed at any time.
Murong Yan is in the highest water prison on the ninth floor.
——We have only been forced to separate for a year, but it still feels like several years have passed.
Bai Feng looked at the spiral staircase with mixed emotions.
He was thinking about what he should say, what he should do, or what he should do to make the other person feel
——I have been thinking about you every day and night these days.
When he reached the top of the tower, he realized that all his considerations were in vain.
This place was special. The cage that trapped Murong Yan was suspended in mid-air, surrounded by eight-foot-high deep water. There was no place to land on the water. She would never be able to escape without an outsider operating the mechanism.
Bai Feng caught a man alive and asked him to open the gate to release the water, lower the cage, and then took his life without hesitation.
——He smelled of blood.
Murong Yan was trapped in a cage, with her hands tied to the iron ropes and raised above her head, a posture that made her look very tired.
——Does this happen to her every day and every night?
Bai Feng walked into the cage and gently touched her face: "Yan'er, I'm here to take you back."
--no respond.
"You are here, have you always been here?" Bai Feng choked.
Murong Yan was not wearing winter clothes, and there were no signs of washing. There was no clean spot on her body. There was even a unique smell after staying in a humid place for a long time. It was a fishy smell that was stronger than the smell of blood. The strangulation on her wrists The marks have turned into scars.
——No, no matter what injuries she suffered in the past, she would not leave scars?
"I will rescue you right now!" Bai Feng slashed the iron rope with his sword, caught Murong Yan's body, and called out softly: "Yan'er, can you hear my voice?"
Bai Feng's hand unconsciously touched Murong Yan's scar. The sleeve could not wrap her thin arm and fell down. An even more horrifying scene appeared in front of Bai Feng's eyes.
"Yan'er, what is...what's going on?! Your hands are full of scars!"
Regular scars appear on Murong Yan's arms every few inches. If you look closely, you will see that there are similar scars on other parts of the body!
"Yan'er..." Bai Feng was filled with grief and anger: "I, I will definitely save you!"
At this time, Murong Yan said something sadly.
"Child." She pointed in one direction: "Child." She kept repeating the same sentence.
When Bai Feng went in this direction, there was only one room, and there was a baby hidden in it, only a few months old.
Without much hesitation, he immediately tied the baby to his chest, then went back to carry Murong Yan on his back, and walked down the Taiping Tower step by step.
"Yan'er, we will leave this place soon."
"Yan'er, you don't have to answer me now. I will definitely make those who left scars on your body pay with their blood!"
"Yan'er, I've been thinking about you, very much..."
They return to the earth.
The sky is really uncomfortable.
After half a year, Murong Yan saw the sun for the first time. She couldn't help the warmth of the sun and accidentally buried her whole face in Bai Feng's body.
However, Bai Feng suddenly stopped at this moment.
"S...Sima Tu!" The White Snake Swordsman and the Taiping Dao Celestial Master were facing each other in the air.
"Mr. Bai, you don't seem to know that Pindao has set up a secret whistle. As long as there is smoke, I will know what is happening here?" Sima Tu lightly dusted the whisk, and the boys behind him immediately stopped: "Or, Mr. Bai obviously You know that Pindao will come back but you still go against fate?"
Bai Feng remained silent.
"I can let you go, I just need you to put down your weapons, and you and your families can all go." Sima Tu smiled softly, as if he had laid a trap in advance, and continued: "Including Mr. Bai and Your wife."
Bai Feng suddenly realized and replied: "This is a joke of the poisonous snake. Put down the weapon, people and lives will be lost; raise the weapon, people and lives will be saved! Everyone, do you really want to give up?"
"You have rescued your family, what else are you trying to do?"
"Master Tianshi is so kind and we get an advantage. Let's retreat quickly!"
"No, the White Snake Swordsman has killed so many bad guys, and we escaped from the battle. Isn't that repaying kindness with enmity?"
There were timid people and radical people in the crowd, and there were many voices, until Sima Tu's next sentence.
"Pindao is deeply aware of this, but haven't you realized that this White Snake Swordsman is actually just using you to save his wife?"
Fu Wentao came from the south wall at this time, stood beside Bai Feng to help, and replied: "Demon Dao, you are spitting blood!"
However, Sima Tu's words did shake most people's minds.
Gradually, some people put down their weapons and dispersed. Those who were still fighting with weapons were defeated by the regrouped Taiping Taoists.
After a while, only Bai Feng and Fu Wentao were left in front of the Taiping Tower with the strength to fight.
