After leaving Jinzhou City, head northwest. About eighty miles behind is the Tianzhu Mountain Range.
The reason why it is called Tianzhu is that the mountains are stacked on top of each other and stand tall and steep, just like thousands of pillars standing on the ground to support the sky.
The rumor goes deep into it, and every time you take a step forward, you will be one foot taller. After a hundred steps, you will be like climbing to the peak of the sky, and you can reach for the stars with your hands.
The highest peak in the mountain range is located at the westernmost and northernmost ends. It is shaped like a bamboo shoot and is mostly made of gray-white limestone. Only the peak is ink-colored and looks like a brush dipped in ink, hence the name Shenbi Peak.
Although Shenbi Peak is high, there are winding paths that extend to 90% of its height. The remaining 100 feet is not difficult to climb for Qinggong masters.
Climbing Shenbi Peak, you can look up at the vastness of the universe, overlook the majesty of the peaks, and wander around with your eyes wandering, which is a great audio-visual entertainment.
Looking to the northwest, you can see the wild wilderness.
The wilderness is hundreds of feet away from the Tianzhu Mountains. There are steep ravines in the middle, which can be described as natural chasms. No matter where you slip and fall, the result will either be shattered to pieces, or you will never see the light of day again.
Even the Shenbi Peak, which is the closest to the southeastern side of the wilderness, is almost a hundred feet away from the two. It is insurmountable without human power, and it is only prohibitive.
Therefore, for thousands of years, whether traveling from south to north or east to west, people have taken roads around the Tianzhu Mountains to travel between the wilderness and Jinzhou.
Until a few decades ago, the four most famous light kung fu masters in the world, the thief Kong Yihen, the swordsman Li Jiechen, the number one killer Han Wuyue, and Taxue Wuhen Wenrenfei were first invited to the Tianzhu Mountains. After fighting to be first and second, they invited master blacksmith Duan Tianzhu to discuss a grand plan to overcome this natural danger.
Master Tianzhu spent seventy-seven forty-nine days to cast an iron rope over a hundred feet long, and invited more than a hundred people from all walks of life to come to Shenbi Peak and the wilderness to witness this heaven-defying feat.
At that time, the four masters of Qinggong relied on their own extraordinary Qinggong skills and borrowed strength from each other to fly back and forth on the natural barrier, laying iron ropes across it.
The scene back then was truly astonishing. Even though the four people had outstanding light skills, they were still surrounded by dangers despite the heavy weight of the iron rope. Even the onlookers were frightened and sweating.
Fortunately, with the concerted efforts of the four people, it took about an hour to finally complete this shocking move, connecting the Shenbi Peak and the wilderness with an iron cable.
Compared with taking a long detour, this cable road can save more than a day's journey. This road is also called Lingxiao Ferry by people in the world.
Although the Lingxiao Crossing narrows the distance between the Tianzhu Mountains and the wilderness, it is not practical because only one person can stand sideways on the cableway, and horses and carts cannot pass.
There are even more so-called four failings in Lingxiao Crossing. It cannot be passed by those who have excellent light skills, who cannot pass by those who are bold and careful, who cannot pass by those who have a firm will, and who cannot pass by those who are calm in the face of danger. You cannot pass without any one of the four.
Therefore, ordinary people eventually turn back the same way and take the cableway. Basically, they come here to conquer natural dangers and prove their reputation by crossing the sky.
*********
Bi'e's ability was only slightly inferior to Shang Que's, so he could use both his weapons in one hand and his many changes, which were beyond the capabilities of the current Jiang Yichen.
Mr. Tinglan expected that the impatient Bi E would take a shortcut and take the dangerous route of Lingxiao Crossing, so he gave Jiang Yichen a trick.
Rushing to Shenbi Peak in advance, taking advantage of the opportunity to wait for work, taking advantage of calmness to control impatience, and taking advantage of the natural dangers with no way out, to end Bi'e's life at Lingxiao Crossing.
As for the method of destroying the iron rope proposed by Jiang Yichen, it was rejected on the spot.
The iron cables of Lingxiao Crossing are made of black iron that has been tempered over thousands of times. It cannot be damaged without sharp weapons and skilled soldiers. It can only be smelted and remolded by the refining fire for seven days and seven nights. However, it must be done on the 1,000-foot-high peak with fierce winds. , it is not easy to start a fire, but it is impossible to keep the fire burning for seven days.
*********
The sun was just beginning, the sun was scorching the earth, and subtle crackling sounds could be heard everywhere in the wilderness. Any slightest movement would cause a lively scene.
There was a man and a horse riding in the wilderness, galloping toward the southeast. Dust was flying and there was a loud noise.
Horses are good horses, but people are ugly.
The reason why ugly people are called ugly is mostly because they have weird appearance, disproportion of organs, or are more defective than ordinary people.
This ugly man is strong and strong, with no arms or legs missing. However, his big head, thick eyebrows, protruding eyes, and beard that is so thick that it covers his cheeks are intimidating, and he is called ugly.
The ugly man only wore a coarse cloth jacket, and the strong muscles and scars everywhere added to his ruthless look.
There was a sheepskin bag for holding drinks hung on the mount under his crotch, and the ugly man was carrying two maces on his waist. Other than that, there was no other luggage. Judging from his travel-stained face, it was obvious that he kept everything simple because he was in a hurry to get on the road. Travel lightly and quickly.
Take a closer look at the pair of maces. The body of the mace is as thick as an ordinary person's arm, about four feet long. If it were not really a square and four-sided prism, gradually becoming a square cone toward its ends, it would always be mistaken for a short copper stick. After all, it is ordinary. The tip of the copper mace used for thrusting is not sharp, and can even be described as rounded.
Generally, the body of a copper mace has edges but no edge. The edges and corners are protruding, and there are end joints every six or seven inches apart to increase the impact of the blow. However, the four edges of this mace not only have edges, but are also serrated. The two maces strike each other. Just like a giant crocodile opening its mouth to prey, its sharp teeth can destroy everything.
The two maces are called crocodile teeth, and the ugly man holding the crocodile teeth is the deputy master of the Disha Sect, Bi'e, the Disha star who is called the giant crocodile in the lake.
Bi'e has a strong body, but if we say that his strength is immense, it is difficult to match the other sect leader Yinglong.
He can use his double mace to be flexible and versatile, but if he is to be said to be as fast and powerful as a cheetah, the master of the sect, Shang Que, can't match it.
But these are all just comparisons. On the other hand, Bi'e has both Yinglong's fierceness and Shangque's agility. Although he doesn't look like a giant crocodile, he is as thick and invulnerable as a giant crocodile. Skin's strength is second only to Shang Que at his peak, which means that if Shang Que, who is increasingly depressed, wants to compete with him, it may be difficult to win.
After receiving the urgent news from Shang Que, Bi E was so worried that he couldn't sit still for a moment. After explaining to the several hall masters who were accompanying him, he rode alone for thousands of miles and headed straight for the Lingxiao Ferry in order to seek help. Rush back to Jinzhou in the shortest possible time.
The three sect masters of Disha Sect often get together to discuss sect matters. For this reason, Bi E is particularly worried about Shang Que's state in recent years. He also sees that his attitude towards the world is getting tired. He and Ying Long had to worry about managing the gang, but he only made decisions on major points. This time there must be something wrong in the details, and no one will investigate carefully, which will endanger the survival of the sect.
The ruthlessness against the Disha Sect is beyond what a young boy can do. Now the key is to find out the hidden forces or helpers behind it. However, Shang Que sent all the remaining hall masters out of Jinzhou. It is said that he stayed alone in Jinzhou to hold off his opponents, but his dangerous behavior alone may very well cost him his life.
Bi E was worried all the way, fearing that he would be late and see Shang Que's cold body. Although he complained about his brother's behavior, since the establishment of the Disha Sect, the three sect masters have been mutually exclusive for more than ten years. He has never lost this brotherhood of support and helping each other through thick and thin, nor does he want to lose it.
So, he traveled all day and night without sleeping.
After riding the horse to the cliff, Bi'e jumped straight and flew away on the ropeway. As for the horses, he didn't care about them. No matter how good the horse was, it couldn't be worth his brother's life.
The horizon of the wilderness is slightly more than ten feet lower than the Shenbi Peak. Therefore, from north to south, one goes from low to high.
Although the scorching sun was blazing, the cold wind in the hundred-foot-high sky was still biting. However, Bi'e, who was anxious and eager to return home, was not affected at all. After landing on the ropeway, he ran quickly.
The ropeway was originally swaying in the wind, but this time it was even more trembling under Bi'e's feet.
But after Bi'e ran for one-third of the way, he saw the ropeway shaking violently up and down, but there was no movement at all.
When Bi E saw an additional figure in his sight, he stopped and steadied his body.
The person in white clothes was fluttering, holding a sword independently, and landed a third of the way on the other side of the ropeway.
The Lingxiao Crossing is a hundred feet long, and the middle section is where it shakes the most. If you fight here, if you are not careful, you will definitely lose your balance and fall into the natural danger. This is the best way to weaken the enemy and make it stronger. The choice was made.
Bi'e had never seen this white-clothed swordsman before, but he was not unfamiliar with this swordsman at all. Although he was dozens of feet away, he could still see his thin face that was sometimes obscured by his long hair. His face was not outstanding at all. In comparison, he looks handsome and elegant.
This young man's face was definitely not the focus of Bi'e's attention. He was dressed in white, had a sword inlaid with purple jade, and the keywords mentioned in the urgent message immediately flashed through his mind.
In the letter, Shang Que first mentioned that five hall masters were killed late at night half a month ago, and then described the recent deaths of hall masters one after another. Although he did not give a clear conclusion, the answer was already very clear, no matter what happened to these things Whichever party dominates, the swordsman in white in front of him is the executor of these events.
Bi'e took off the crocodile teeth from his waist. He could not care about the current situation in Jinzhou City for the time being. He just wanted to cut off the young swordsman's head to pay homage to his fallen brothers.
The ropeway trembled again, because Bi E ran straight towards Jiang Yichen like a bull.
The swaying ropeway brought Jiang Yichen up and down, but it did not prevent him from using his sword energy.
With the help of the Heavenly Will Jue, nearly ten rays of Heavenly Fantasy Sword Qi wrapped in extremely cold aura were shot towards Bi'e in an instant.
If there is room for dodge, no one will try to intercept these sword energies. Although these sword energies seem to have limited lethality, Bi E, who has experienced many battles, knows clearly that if he intentionally dodges these sword energies, he will inevitably end up with both sides. With your feet off the ropeway, your opponent can take advantage of this gap and catch you off guard with a vicious attack.
There was no room for error on the Lingxiao Ferry. To be on the safe side, Bi E did not choose to dodge the Heavenly Fantasy Sword Qi. He just activated the Earth Element Technique Rock Sutra, letting his whole body be covered with rock-hard inner energy, and at the same time wielding his maces. To dispel all the sword energy.
Bi'e's forward momentum did not slow down for a moment. He saw that this swordsman's hard power would be difficult to match, so he chose to face this dangerous situation and took advantage of his poor mental state and some impatience to pass through. Attack from a distance to establish advantage.
He knew that as long as he closed the distance and fought hand-to-hand, his advantage would be greater.
In a moment, more than ten rays of celestial magic sword energy flew in, and the posture of the swordsman in white remained unchanged from the beginning to the end.
Bi'e, who was advancing rapidly, couldn't help but feel suspicious, and seemed to realize the swordsman's purpose. The swordsman did not expect to hurt him through the sword energy.
Although the Rock Sutra made him feel painless and itchy, the biting coldness kept adding to his pain.
The muscles that were originally relaxed under the scorching sun gradually became tight and stiff under the double cooling of the cold wind and the cold air of the sword.
He found that the hands holding the mace were becoming increasingly inoperable!
