The person who drove Hongshang out of the edge of the battle circle was Long Duoduo, the former master of the Demon Palace.
The person who completely blocked Hongshang from the fighting circle was Xuan Xiao, the leader of Wudang Sect.
As early as at Qixingtan in Longquan Mountain, Hongshang had glimpsed Wudang and Emei's southward formation in the dark, and naturally she did not dare to underestimate Xuan Xiao, who was the leader of the two factions.
It is said that the new master of Wudang has been silent for too long. Most of the older generation of martial arts people have forgotten his name, while the newer generation rarely hears about it.
It was only two years ago that the Emei Sect rescued themselves from a fire and temporarily reunited with the Wudang Sect. Everyone was shocked to realize that the leader of the Wudang Sect was no longer Yuan Shen, but Yuan Shen who had been deposed for committing public outrage in the past. Go to Xuan Xiao, who is a master of martial arts and has not seen the light of day for more than ten years.
It was at that time that Hongshang noticed this familiar but unfamiliar name again.
They are unfamiliar because Hong Shang and Xuan Xiao have never crossed paths.
We are familiar with it because in many records about the Wudang sect in the religion, apart from those Taoist priests of the Xu generation and Yuan generation, the disciple of the Xuan generation who appears most frequently is Xuan Xiao.
Hongshang didn't know why Xuan Xiao, who had no martial arts skills, became the leader of a sect.
However, the Emei faction, which had had conflicts and entanglements with Xuan Xiao in the past, was able to resolutely commit themselves to the same relationship, which is enough to show that Xuan Xiao is deeply respected by the public.
And the person who can win the trust and approval of the two famous sects will be the second powerless Luo Piaoling?
Not only Hongshang, but also many people have doubts about this, but the iron-clad Wudang Mountain deters them from exploring.
Until they saw Qixingtan, Shui Rujing saved Tu Wanfang from Tu Wanfang with his single sword, and Xuan Xiao protected Shui Rujing and escaped safely.
Even though it was only a quick glance, one could already get a glimpse into the capabilities of the current Wudang leader.
Therefore, after entering the battlefield together with Tu Wanfang, although she let go of her hands and feet, Hongshang was always careful not to overstep the boundaries and not provoke the three sects of Wudang, Emei, and Shaolin who could quickly form formations to respond to the enemy.
Unexpectedly, he was given a warning and was forced into a thunder pool by Long Duoduo.
Hongshang didn’t know where Long Duoduo came from.
All he knew was that the master, who had disappeared since the Demon Palace fell apart and was destroyed, was not here before he ordered the siege.
We also know that the reason why the former Lord of the Demonic Palace stopped pursuing him was because he wanted to kill more people and stabilize the situation as soon as possible instead of wasting time with him.
Although she has not had the opportunity to face off against Long Duoduo, Hongshang thinks she knows Long Duoduo very well.
Not only because they are similar in age, but also because Long Duoduo is one of the few people in the Zhongzhou arena that Hongshang admires.
Although the rumored disciples of the Sword Immortal are somewhat suspected of using the opportunity to become famous, Long Duoduo can be said to have no foundation or background, compared to most people who have reached high positions in martial arts rankings and world status at a young age. I climbed up step by step.
But as the saying goes, everything that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Because of Hong Shang's appreciation, from the cracks inside the Demon Palace to the destruction by multiple external forces, the Red Sect was one of the active participants.
Even at the last moment, Hongshang went to Pinghai in person to kill Long Duoduo, who was injured and fled, but unfortunately he failed to do so.
Now being "hammered" by Long Duoduo is causing unspeakable suffering. It is really the reincarnation of heaven.
One is Long Duoduo, who has gained fame as a fake disciple of the Sword Master and is praised by people in the contemporary martial arts world as the one who is closest to the style of the Sword Master of the past.
One is Xuan Xiao, who was compared with Yan Qing because of his outstanding talent in martial arts creation.
After the Zhongzhou Rebellion ended twenty years ago, Xiao Yutong and Yan Qing, two unparalleled arrogant men in the Zhongzhou martial arts world, disappeared.
In the nearly twenty years since then, although there have been no more stunningly talented people in Zhongzhou’s arena that have made everyone admire them, there are still so many rising stars that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and it is hard to kill them all. And the outstanding ones like Long Duoduo and Xuan Xiao are like dying. The non-stiff centipede can still break out of its cocoon and be reborn despite going through many hardships.
One can imagine the bitterness, jealousy and hatred in Hong Shang's heart.
At the moment, Hong Shang didn't have time to feel sore and bitter in his heart, but facing Xuan Xiao, his situation was really embarrassing.
Wudang's original martial arts style is famous for its combination of hardness and softness, and is not limited to the strict rules of the famous sect.
Hongshang attacks with fierce moves, while Xuanxiao can parry with feminine means.
Hongshang entangles her in a feminine way, but Xuanxiao can get out of trouble in a domineering way.
Hongshang uses ghost tricks to poison, Xuanxiao can use strange tricks to resolve it.
Hongshang tried all her skills, but Xuanxiao always managed to deal with it with ease.
Without killing Xuan Xiao, Hong Chang could not get rid of his entanglement and carried out a killing spree on the main battlefield.
He wants to kill Xuan Xiao, but Hong Chang's skills are limited.
He was even more unknowingly taken away from the main battlefield by Xuan Xiao, who was more than ten feet away.
Hong Shang should have been furious with anger, but as soon as he thought about the opponent in front of him, his energy seemed to be drained out in an instant. He could not bring up the slightest anger, and even had a vague idea of being tired of fighting.
After tossing and turning for days, Xuan Xiao's headband was nowhere to be found, and her long hair was hanging loosely on her shoulders. The navy blue Taoist robe was also missing pieces, and it looked more like a maroon robe, with the pair of willow eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and red lips. , there is no Taoist style at all. At first glance, she is actually a coquettish and charming woman.
Under Hong Shang's half-broken mask, she must have a youthful face that everyone loves, even if it is bloodless and haggard underneath, I feel pity for anyone who looks at it.
As the morning sun was about to rise, a man with a sword and a half-faced man in red robe were six or seven feet away from each other and stood silently facing each other.
It seems that there is a bit of the beauty of a quiet ending, without any aura of life and death.
Snapped!
Hongshang slapped herself hard, and the right corner of her mouth that wasn't covered by the mask was immediately bruised and bloody.
He understood that it would be difficult for him to kill Xuan Xiao, and Xuan Xiao was not necessarily sure of killing him.
Letting Xuan Xiao be his opponent, specifically responsible for pestering him, would undoubtedly ruin his mood.
We want him to go from having no power to use, to being powerless, to finally being exhausted mentally and physically, completely losing himself or even committing suicide!
However, Hong Shang no longer has any trump cards. If he cannot break the game, he will only have to go to black in front of Xuan Xiao...
"No, I still have a backup plan."
Hong Shang suddenly whispered to herself, her left hand gently pulled open the wet collar on her chest, and her right hand reached under the red robe to reach for her heart.
Using both fingers, he pulled out a green pill that was about the size of a fingernail, stained with sporadic flesh and blood.
Hong Shang stared at the small pill held between her fingers, and a charming woman's voice sounded in her mind.
"This is the latest three-corpse divine elixir that I taught Po Meng."
"There are two ways to use it. One is to stick it on the heart. If you are unfortunately injured and die, that is, ten breaths after the heart stops beating, all the corpse insects in the elixir will wake up and take control of your body from the pit of your heart. Exhausting the blood, essence, and even flesh and bones of the entire body from the inside out, fighting until the last moment."
"At that time, that body without any consciousness can do what ordinary people cannot, and its combat effectiveness will be extraordinary."
"The second method of use is to swallow it with blood. The active breaking pill awakens the corpse worms through your own essence and blood, so as to drive the corpse worms to attach to the body and stimulate the body's full potential."
"The two uses have similar effects. Corpse insects both rely on sucking their own bodies to burst out their combat power. They both end up dead by different means, and they die without a burial place!"
"The difference and similarity is that the former works after death. Corpse worms may be able to accomplish things you dare not imagine, but you have no way of knowing."
"The latter will endure the pain of merging with the corpse insect. When the pain reaches its peak, it is also the time when all the pain leaves the body. From then on, it will be able to accomplish beyond its capabilities with absolutely clear consciousness."
"Due to the large amount of consumables, the long cultivation cycle of corpse insects, and the harsh refining conditions, there are only three corpse pills."
"Coupled with these thousand Qixue Pills, this is the sincerity brought by my teaching!"
The charming voice in her mind ended here. Hong Shang had moved her eyes away from Qinglu Danwan and looked at the tall, thin and fuzzy figure on the far side who was rising and falling uncertainly, darting left and right. A playful smile appeared on the corner of her bloody mouth, and she asked herself Said: "Can you really kill more people without knowing it?"
Xuanxiao, who could not move against the enemy, saw Hongshang stop attacking for a while, and then his lips moved slightly as if he was talking to himself. His expression gradually became weird and he made some assumptions, so he loudly said: "I have also seen the elixirs of the Netherworld Sect. After a while, most of them gain immediate combat power at the expense of life. The effect of the elixir that allows you to hide it until now before deciding whether to swallow it is bound to be extraordinary. However, after taking it, you may lose your mind like Tu Wanfang."
Hong Shang held the Three Corpse Divine Pill between her fingers and hovered over her mouth, looking at Xuan Xiao with interest, waiting for the next words.
Upon seeing this, Xuan Xiao continued: "Instead of turning into a living dead who is neither human nor ghost and only knows how to kill, it is better to stop here..."
Before Xuan Xiao finished speaking, Hongshang couldn't help but sneered: "Stop?"
Xuan Xiao said: "Maybe I can convince everyone to spare your life."
Hearing this, Hongshang smiled even more sarcastically, opened her mouth wider, and her body began to tremble, causing half of her damaged mask to tremble.
"Do you think I still care about this life?"
"It's easy to die, but only valuable is living..."
"It's really disappointing. I thought the leader of Wudang could talk so much."
Xuan Xiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "Nothing else, I just hope you can survive and live longer, see with your own eyes how thousands of your compatriots died, and witness your great dreams for decades. How it was annihilated.”
This was said lightly, but it was full of provocation.
Hong Shang did not lose her temper and became angry because of this. She just snorted and said, "I never expected that you would have an extremely mean mouth. You are no different from those who claim to be famous and upright."
"The method of provoking generals doesn't really work for me." Hong Shang put the Three Corpses Divine Pill into his mouth, bit the tip of his tongue and swallowed it with blood, and then said, "However, I am still very curious. What can I do to you if you really anger me? benefit?"
Xuan Xiao said: "I don't mean anything else. I just want to say that when I killed less than a thousand Japanese people, I should have killed three or four hundred. I haven't met a few who are really capable. It's been almost twenty years. There should be something more noisy, right? Is it true that one generation is worse than the other?"
Just a few breaths after swallowing the Three Corpse Divine Pills, Hong Shang felt magma steaming and rolling inside her body, and a burning sensation spread from her stomach to various organs, to her limbs and brain.
For more than ten breaths of time, it was like falling into purgatory. Hong Shang tossed and turned in it and was unable to escape. She almost fainted due to burning. Fortunately, she managed to maintain her last shred of sanity.
After she fully came to her senses, Hongshang bit her lower lip, and sure enough, she no longer felt any pain.
He clenched his fists again and felt the body being given incomparable strength as if being caressed by an immortal.
Hongshang smiled and said, "Then, as you wish!"
Xuan Xiao flicked the sword flower and revealed the Wu Nian Sword with a square hilt and light green blade without any trace of blood. He smiled faintly and said, "Let me see what you can do with this monster!"
Hong Shang spread her palms, and the fingertips of her thin hands lit up with red light.
At first it was short, thick and dull, but soon it became slender and red.
Perhaps disturbed by an optical illusion, Xuan Xiao always felt that the rising sun that had just peeked out of the horizon seemed to be infected by this red light, reflecting the earth in a bright red.
Goodbye Hongshang stepped forward with her left foot, and the ground with a radius of three feet centered on the sole of her foot trembled and sank.
The upper body in the red dress leans forward, the right foot is raised, and the long hair and red robe stand upright without wind.
The originally thin body seemed to have grown angular and swollen.
In Xuan Xiao's eyes, Hong Shang's every move seemed like a slow motion of counting the beats.
But in the next moment, Hongshang appeared in front of him with the power of wind and thunder!
When Xuan Xiao woke up and dodged, the left side of his face was inevitably scratched by the bloody claws of Hong Shang's right middle finger!
Although the sword he holds in his hand is a sword, Xuan Xiao is not a swordsman in the traditional sense, and the speed of the sword cannot be compared with that of top swordsmen.
But when Xuan Xiao suddenly discovered that Hong Shang's body moved faster than his sword drawing speed, the situation would only become one-sided.
Swish, swish, swish!
Hongshang's offensive was like a gust of wind and rain.
Red robes and red shadows dance around Xuan Xiao.
Xuan Xiao's dodge space was completely limited to a radius of three feet, leaving him nowhere to hide.
After days of fighting and small battles, today they have been fighting for a long time. Xuanxiao, who had been able to advance and retreat freely under Hongshang's various offensives but was only tired and not injured, was finally deflated, and the maroon Taoist robe was finally destroyed by seven or eight places. The wound was stained with the blood of the master of the robe.
Under Hong Shang's fierce attack that came and went like a sword, the new wounds on Xuan Xiao's body were not only caused by Hong Shang's blood claws, but also caused by the ends of her long hair and the corners of her robes that moved very fast.
Hongshang can injure the enemy as much as possible as a weapon, which is obviously not good news for Xuanxiao.
Fortunately, Xuan Xiao still has a proud eight-door formation that can deal with the enemy's strong attack.
After several flexible uses of opening doors, opening doors, closing doors, and scenery doors, he finally got rid of the prison that Hongshang had drawn for him and gained a glimmer of hope.
Hongshang, who was in great condition and seemed to have crushed Xuan Xiao, now had two choices.
One is to leave Xuan Xiao aside and fight back to the main battlefield. Xuan Xiao can't stop him.
One is to deal with Xuan Xiao and then return to the main battlefield.
Hong Shang chose the latter almost without thinking, not to avenge Xuan Xiao's entanglement and provocation just now, but out of the same appreciation for Long Duoduo.
The more outstanding people there are in the Zhongzhou arena, the more Hongshang wants to drive them all away.
Hongshang rushed towards Xuan Xiao again.
During the rapid movement, the bloody claws left behind traces of scarlet light that lingered for a long time.
The original corpses on the ground were scraped into pieces and left in a mess.
Slowly, the bloody claws seemed to have weaved a net in a radius of more than ten feet.
Xuan Xiao, who was tired of running for his life, received several wounds and bruises under Hong Shang's fists and claws, and was driven to the center of the dragnet!
The scarlet red dragnet quickly closed inward with Xuan Xiao as the center.
It is conceivable that at the end of the scarlet blood web, Xuan Xiao was dismembered into countless pieces, sleeping together with countless corpses on the ground!
However, just when the dragnet was tightened to about four or five feet away from Xuan Xiao's body, countless blood lines intertwined with light green fractures, unable to continue to be tightened, falling loosely, and then dissipated!
Xuan Xiao is naturally much more embarrassed than before, but he can be said to be at peace within the blood net.
It turned out that the blood webs had been cut off by Xuan Xiao with his sword long before they were closed, and Hong Chang, who had lost his sense of touch, was unaware of it.
After the effect of the three corpse pills took effect, it was difficult for Hongshang to control his emotions. After realizing it, he became furious.
The widened eyes and eyebrows were stretched diagonally into the temples, slender and sharp as a knife.
The veins on his forehead were all raised together, and there were also several criss-crossing purple blood lines. He no longer looked like an ordinary person.
Seeing this, Xuan Xiao wiped off the large blood stain on his chin, laughed and said, "Nothing."
Hongshang let out a shrill roar and flew to attack.
This time, no matter how fast Hong Shang attacks, Xuan Xiao can easily dodge.
Hongshang noticed that when Xuan Xiao used eight formations, he could only cast three formations in one breath at the fastest.
But now Xuan Xiao can complete five formation castings in one breath. The number of single castings has not increased, but the frequency has doubled.
In this way, Hongshang can turn herself into a sword and stab out fifteen swords with one breath, and Xuanxiao can also dodge them all with fifteen door-opening formations!
Hong Shang, who had been unable to think clearly, couldn't think too much and abandoned Xuan Xiao with a roar.
How could Xuan Xiao get what he wanted.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Outside of the main battlefield, no matter where Hong Shang appears, there is always Xuan Xiao in front of her.
Xuan Xiao borrowed the power of the open-door formation to change shape, the Jingmen's speed-increasing and strength-increasing power, and the Shengmen Dumen's ability to restore strength and repair damage, like maggots on the tarsus, blocking Hongshang's departure time and time again. body shape!
If someone happens to be looking down from a high place, they can see that someone has secretly drawn a large circle in the area of more than twenty feet where Xuan Xiao and Hong Shang are.
The center of the circle is divided into two halves by a concave and convex curve, and each half has a small circle on the convex part.
…
…
High in the distant mountains.
Xiao Yincai, who was standing with his hands behind his back, nodded and said: "Tai Chi. As expected of the head of Wudang, even wearing such a red dress can't get out of this Tai Chi diagram."
