In the dark and windy suburbs, Shangguan Yu was running wildly, and the woods were dim like a giant beast, swallowing up his lonely trace. The anxious voice of a companion came from "Tongshengshi": "Young Master, we encountered an ambush on the periphery and are fighting hard. You must be careful!"
He flew across a stream, and the stream suddenly exploded, turning into a volley of thousands of arrows. Shangguan Yu leaped forward, and the "Seven Star Sword" in his hand turned into a net of light, blocking the water arrows.
When he landed, four black shadows silently surrounded him.
"As expected of the young master of the Shangguan family, he is indeed capable of breaking through three lines of defense!" Several people rushed forward. Yu didn't want to fight, and held up a sword flower. The sword energy leaked out like a violent wave, forcing the opponent to retreat, and then he used his left hand Knead the secret, draw a circle, leap in, and disappear.
"It's the little 'Tongtian Formation'. He can't escape far, so let the central team be responsible for blocking it."
Shangguan Yu flew over the mountain stream. There was a deep courtyard in the valley, with bright lights, crowds of people, and the sound of weapons clashing.
Yu jumped from the cliff, like a roc spreading its wings, with the full moon reflected on its back, like a god descending to earth. The hidden weapons below were like flying flies, Yu blocked them with his sword, and they flew away like meteors.
Someone flew up to meet him, made a quick move, and then stood quietly in the clouds, confronting him from a distance.
"There are rumors in the world that Jingyou, the daughter of the Qu family, has a 'wonderful root' that is rare in a century. I, 'Netherworld Fang', am determined to get it, and it is not your Shangguan family's turn to interfere!" The person who spoke was dressed in pitch black and his face was ashen, giving people a look. Feels like a living zombie.
Shangguan Yu sneered: "The Qu family is also a descendant of demons. We have been friends with Shangguan for generations. We will advance and retreat together to kill all the evil demons like you!"
"What a loud tone! It's a pity that Shangguan is good at formations, but he is sparse with real swords and spears!"
"Hmph, come here!"
The two of them fought in the clouds. The man used a pitch-black "soul-leaving staff". When he waved it, smoke curled up, and the smell was strange, as if it was highly poisonous.
Yu didn't dare to fight in close combat, so he met the attack with strong sword energy, hoping to escape quickly. The man sneered and said: "If you are so cowardly, just wait until the Qu family is killed and the 'Miaogen' becomes ours!"
Yu remembered his father's repeated warning before leaving: "Don't be obsessed with fighting. Saving people is the ultimate goal." In his anger, he didn't care about much and flew forward to attack. The man waved his staff to attack. The smoke trail surrounded Yu, and suddenly tightened, forming black ropes that bound his body.
"Haha, what a young master, that's all. How long can you hold on under the 'soul-leaving smoke rope'?"
He laughed wildly and kept tightening the "smoke rope". Yu's veins burst out and his eyes were about to burst. He suddenly shouted loudly, and flames flew around them, surrounding the two of them.
The man was surprised, "You actually used the 'Sky Fire Formation'? Do you want to die with me?"
While tightening the "smoke rope", he recited the "Fire Avoidance Technique" to contend with it. He only persisted for a moment, and suddenly withdrew and retreated, trying to escape from the formation. Yu Ruying followed him and pierced his chest with a sword.
When the man fell down, his eyes were blurred, "People say that Young Master Shangguan is a man who knows his destiny. I learned the lesson today!"
Shangguan Yu shook himself and extinguished the fireworks. He suffered numerous burns on his body, his beard and hair were all ablaze, and the "smoke rope" left several scars on his arms, with bones visible.
He flew down, and as soon as he reached the main entrance, a large dark net covered his head. Yu held up his sword to hold on. Several people pulled on the ropes and tightened the net, and the dark barbs on it slowly penetrated into his flesh.
Yu roared, his body-protecting energy was released wildly, and the net was torn into pieces. He flew forward, and the man in black fell down like a haystack.
After several hard battles, his whole body was covered in blood, his breathing was heavy, and he seemed to be about to collapse at any time.
At this time, a chuckle came from the side, "Young Master Shangguan, have you admired me for a long time?" This man was thin and silent, no different from a ghost.
"'Youmingfang' has really invested a lot of money, even Master Jing Shaofang personally took action!"
"Both and each other, haven't you Shangguan been coveting the 'Miaogen' for a day or two?"
"You're talking nonsense. Shangguan and the Qu family are family friends and have never thought of such dirty things."
Jing Yang sneered, "Yes or no, there is no point in arguing, my subordinates will see the truth!" He showed his weapon, which was a "soul-calling staff". The white ornaments on it were shining brightly, which was quite strange.
Shangguan Yu had heard that this "Netherworld Fang" was full of heretical and evil tricks. He did not dare to be careless and could only fight with all his strength and wait for backup.
He drew out his sword with all his strength, and struck a rainbow across the sun with one move, and his movement was as fast as lightning. Jing Yang used his staff to parry, retreating quickly, Yu Ruying followed him, trying to end the fight with a fierce attack.
After only a few strikes, his true energy suddenly stagnated and his body fell from the air. Jing Yang turned his wrist, and the ornaments on the "soul-calling staff" flew away like a swarm of bees, all hitting Shangguan Yu.
Jing Yang let out a long sigh, like a ghost weeping, "The Shangguan family has only a false reputation, and besides the gold and jade, Jing is a little disappointed!"
Yu couldn't help coughing up blood and was seriously injured. "What despicable means did you use to plot against me?"
"Alas, you were injured by the 'Soul-Destroying Net', you were poisoned but didn't know it. Even though your magic power is mediocre, your knowledge is so poor. You are not worthy of being someone's opponent!"
Jing Yang waved his sleeves and left, saying, "Jing has to go do some business, so you can leave it to your brothers to take care of him."
As soon as he left, the men in black began to fight in a group. Shangguan Yu managed to parry and was hit by a few more blows. He sighed in his heart, it seemed that he was going to lose his life at the hands of these unknown people today.
At the critical moment, a man fell from the sky, holding the same "Seven Star Sword", and swiped wildly, killing all the minions.
"Young Master, I am Xun, a disciple of Guazhou Clan. I am here to support you on the orders of the Clan Master."
This man was tall and tall, about the same age as him, and his body skills were extremely average. Yu was a little disappointed, so he pushed her away with all his strength, "Don't worry about me, go to the back room to save the lady!"
Everyone in the courtyard is still fighting, but the Qu family is extremely brave and will not retreat until death. Jing Yang was strolling in the courtyard, passed through the Moon Gate, and walked along the stone path. There were several elegant rooms at the end of the bamboo forest. He pushed the door and entered, facing the cold wind. He held the sharp blade between his two fingers and pierced it with his palm like a knife. Human chest.
No blood was seen spattering, and the man dispersed like dust and smoke. "It's really a 'wonderful root' that can turn beans into soldiers!" He approached step by step, and some people in the red tent were trembling.
Suddenly, the bonsai on the window sill grew rapidly, and countless branches and leaves bound Jing Yang. Jing Yang smiled and said: "Your 'wonderful skills' are like juggling in my eyes. Don't waste your efforts anymore."
He raised his arms and broke away, "I heard that the lady not only has 'wonderful roots', but also has a beautiful face. Jing admires her greatly. Tonight is the day when we will be together forever!"
Jing Yang raised his hand to open the red curtain, and a sharp blade stabbed him. He snatched it back and took advantage of the situation to hold the slender jade arm as white as lotus root. Qu Jingyou's beautiful face turned pale, and she was extremely frightened.
"Sure enough, she is as beautiful as heaven. It's hard for Jing to control her. I'm so rude!" His fingertips brushed the young lady's gentle face, trying to be frivolous.
Suddenly there was a sharp wind behind him. Jing Yang turned around and held the sword blade with his fingertips. "The strength is acceptable, but the timing and speed are vastly different. It turns out that everyone in the Shangguan family is mediocre!"
His arm shook and he threw it a foot away. Shangguan Xun's footing was not stable, so he raised his hand and fired several hidden weapons. Jing Yang's robe sleeves flew up and swept them down.
"How can you show off your little skills?" Jing Yang flew towards him, wanting to end the fight with one strike. White powder flew towards me, rising like mist, and the surrounding scenery slowly changed, turning into a deep forest, with the crescent moon hanging on the treetops.
Jing Yang nodded, "This 'Mysterious Immortal Formation' is quite interesting. It is comparable to the supreme illusion of my 'Netherworld Studio'!" He waved his hand to disperse the formation, and then saw that the red tent was empty.
Shangguan Xun ran wildly with the young lady on his back, the beauty leaning on his shoulders, half shy and half frightened.
"Cunning little mouse, where are you running from?" Jing Yang's cold voice came from behind, getting closer and closer.
"Please let me down, don't harm the young hero!"
"The young master has ordered that the young lady must be rescued, and Xun Wan will not hesitate to die!"
There are shadows of trees in front, and a small lake blocks the way. Shangguan Xun hid the young lady in the bushes, then turned back to meet the enemy.
After only a few rounds, Xun groaned and was hit by a stick. He retreated continuously and stood on the lake. Jing Yang did not pursue the victory, but slowly advanced: "You are no match for me. Hand over the young lady and spare your life."
Xun's mouth was bleeding, but his expression was very relaxed, "If you want me to hand over the lady, you have to step over my body!"
"The mantis is using his arms as a chariot, seeking his own death!" Jing Yang flew forward, his staff and swords met, sparks flew out, and the "Seven Star Sword" in Xun's hand flew out.
Before Jing Yang could put away his proud expression, dark clouds surged above his head, and there was a sound of thunder. Knowing that the situation had changed, he flew back, but hit a layer of transparent medium and was bounced back.
"It turns out that you laid a 'Thunder' here early to lure me into the battle. In terms of scheming, you are a hundred times stronger than that young master."
Xun didn't answer, he kneaded the formula to activate the formation, and thousands of thunderbolts fell from the sky. This Jing Yang's movement was so fast that he was able to shuttle back and forth in the lightning rain without being injured at all.
"Strength is a flaw, relying solely on strategy is useless!" Jing Yang approached again and pierced Shangguan Xun's chest with his staff.
As blood spattered, a scream came from the grass.
Xun did not fall down, but hugged Jing Yang tightly with his arms. He spurted blood from his mouth and was very happy. "This is the ultimate strategy. One life for another, it's a good deal!"
Jing Yang was shocked and struggled hard, but the opponent's hand was like an iron hoop and he couldn't break free. Xun recited the incantation, and a tearing light flashed across the sky, and then a bright fireball fell from the sky. There was an explosion and the earth shattered. The lake stirred up a hundred-foot-long wave. For a moment, everything became quiet...
Miss Qu was soaked to the skin, and she couldn't tell the difference between tears or lake water on her face. She shouted loudly and cried helplessly. After a while, Shangguan Yu came over with all his disciples.
The crowd fished out two people from the lake. Their bodies were burnt black and they had no breath.
The young master felt very sorry and lamented softly. He and Miss Qu had known each other since childhood, caressing her shoulders and comforting her softly.
"That young hero risked his life to save me. The slave family is heartbroken. Let me look at him again!"
Xun's whole body was charred and black, and his face could no longer be seen clearly. The young lady caressed her with her jade hands, and tears fell from her eyes. White light emitted from her fingertips, wrapping Xun like a soft cloud, and the scorched blackness on his body slowly faded away.
Everyone was stunned, and then whispered: "Miss Qu's 'wonderful root' has actually been activated..."
