Gu Shengchao and Wu Shaoan were fighting inextricably. He deliberately slowed down to figure out the subtleties of Feng Wu's swordsmanship, but Wu Shaoan attacked him from behind without knowing it.
Feng Wu's swordsmanship is great, how can there be any flaws?
Wu Shaoan thrust forward with his sword and fell into the sword formation. Seeing the shadows of swords all around him with nowhere to escape, he suddenly rose into the sky and hung in the air.
"Excellent skills, watch my sword rain." Wu Shaoan waved his sword to summon, and hundreds of swords fell from the sky and stabbed at the ancient saint Chao.
The sword rain was densely arranged, and other people on the ground also felt the pressure, which was suffocating.
The ancient sage silently recited the Phoenix Dance and the Phoenix Technique, raised his swords gently, and with two cries, the phoenix and phoenix spread their wings and flew high, spreading their wings to face the rain of swords.
One sword after another pierced the Phoenix's body, and the two of them began to grow in size. The amount of Qi integrated into the body gradually increased, and the Phoenix's wings spread outward to occupy more than half of the valley, blocking the sunlight.
Being able to independently absorb the opponent's true energy is an unexpected surprise for the ancient sage.
Phoenix's huge eyes stared at Wu Shaoan, making him panic.
Gu Shengchao took a few steps and crossed over into the void to arrive in front of Wu Shaoan.
"Who are you?" Wu Shaoan realized at this moment that their previous information was wrong, and asked one of the three soul questions.
With a faint smile, the ancient sage said softly: "The Evil King of the Four Kings Valley."
The voice was not loud, but it exploded in Wu Shaoan's mind like thunder.
The coffin business in the Four Kings Valley is getting better and better, which makes the Poison Sect envious. Instead of developing their own advantageous industries, they want to use violent means to directly plunder.
A few years ago, someone from the Four Kings Valley committed a crime and escaped to the Poison Sect. He told the Poison Sect some news about the Four Kings Valley. Recently, it was discovered that the leader Qiu Mandrill was not in the valley. There should be only a woman named Wanruo in charge, so he set up a trap. The plan followed the disciples of the Four Kings Valley into the valley in an attempt to capture them in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, it was not what he imagined. How could Wu Shaoan not be anxious?
He regretted a little. If he had known this, after finding the exact location of the Four Kings Valley, he should have gone back and gathered more troops for a sneak attack. The winning rate would have been greater, instead of a few of them rushing in rashly.
The border towns between the Raja Rat Valley and the Daimu Dynasty are densely populated, with roads extending in all directions and frequent personnel exchanges. Therefore, formations are set up to confuse outsiders and avoid being discovered.
As for walking elsewhere after entering the Raja Ampat Valley, most of them are dense forests and rolling mountains. You only need to set up towers and checkpoints in key sections.
The Poison Sect was able to find this place this time because they deliberately let Feng Yong go and followed him around in the woods for many days before finding him.
Otherwise, if they were left to search for themselves, they would have been lost in the lush forest.
Wu Shaoan regretted it too much, but the matter had come to this, and he could only give it a try.
He saw Gu Shengchao hovering in front of him without fear. He shook his sword and turned around, only to see more than twenty sword points stabbing Gu Shengchao from different directions.
Ever since he practiced the Feng Wu Qiu Huang sword technique, the ancient sage was full of confidence. He displayed the sword technique in a leisurely manner, completely ignoring the seemingly deadly blades.
"Dang, Dang, Dang..."
With a series of crisp sounds, Gu Shengchao easily broke through the opponent's offensive.
Wu Shaoan was horrified. He couldn't find any flaws in the other party, but he was almost at the end of his rope.
He was stunned for a moment, and the ancient sage's two swords flew flying, already covering him in the shadow of the sword. This time, even the top and bottom were blocked, making it difficult for him to fly.
No matter how fast Wu Shaoan moves, he can't make a sound with his palm. A sword will always have loopholes when trying to resist.
"ah!"
With a scream, Wu Shaoan's left arm was cut off at shoulder level, and blood flowed profusely.
At the critical moment of life and death, he threw the sword in his hand towards Gu Shengchao, covered the wound with his right hand and ran away hastily.
Although the man escaped, the sword seemed to still have spirituality, circling around the ancient sage Chao and making a buzzing sound, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Gu Shengchao picked up the sword with his left hand, and Wu Shaoan's sword suddenly flipped over and slashed over. The tip of the sword in Gu Shengchao's right hand touched the hilt of the flying sword, spun several times in the air, and threw it to one side without all the strength.
The sword stabbed deeply into the cliff next to it until it lost its hilt and could no longer move.
There is a saying that you should not chase after a poor enemy. Gu Shengchao was also concerned about Wan Ruo's situation, so he quickly collected the pair of phoenixes and took stock of the battle situation.
The single group challenged Bai Sheng. The two fought from the ground to mid-air, and then from mid-air to the top of the opposite mountain. The single group clearly had the upper hand and did not need help.
Wanruo is having a hard time here. Xiang Hongji's figure is erratic, disappearing and appearing, making people crazy.
He was clearly standing in front of him, but he stabbed him with a sword and suddenly disappeared inexplicably. During the search, the sharp flying tiger claws came out from nowhere and were specially applied to the person's neck, making it difficult for people to guard against it.
Wanruo's swordsmanship is already exquisite, and after absorbing the essence of Fengwu's swordsmanship, it becomes even more powerful. In a real fight alone, Xiang Hongji is no match.
Forcing Xiang Hongji to retreat to the tree, Wanruo slashed at the opponent with his sword and disappeared out of thin air.
If Wanruo suffered a few losses, he would take a few steps back to ensure his own safety, and then take a closer look.
Just when she was puzzled, Gu Shengchao jumped over and stood beside her.
"Sheng Chao, help me find it quickly. Where is that man hiding?" After saying that, she grabbed Gu Sheng Chao and said, "Just near the tree, don't get close, that man will pop up and attack at any time."
The ancient sage's super perception was astonishing. He had already sensed Xiang Hongji's faint aura, even though he knew she was hiding in the tree, but couldn't see her.
A gust of wind blew, and a piece of bark peeled off for no reason and swayed in the wind.
If you look closely, you will see where the bark is. It is clearly a woman's skirt being blown up by the wind.
Stretching upward from here, there is a vague figure of a person blending into the bark of the tree.
Ancient Sage Chao immediately understood that the ever-changing Toad Xiang Hongji was just like her name, and could be integrated with the surrounding environment and hide in every corner.
"Come out!" Gu Shengchao kicked away the stones under his feet and went straight to where Hong Ji was hiding.
"oops!"
The stone accurately hit Xiang Hongji's abdomen, and she knew she couldn't hide. A poison pill was thrown between the two of them. Thick smoke instantly rose, and Xiang Hongji could no longer be seen.
The ancient sage Chao La Wanruo stepped back to avoid him. Wanruo shook off the hand of the ancient sage Chao and pursued him while avoiding the poisonous smoke with his sword.
"Be careful." Gu Shengchao chased after him with his sword.
Xiang Hongji's figure crossed the top of the mountain, and the two of them chased after her but disappeared.
"Go back and see what's going on with Brother Shan." Gu Shengchao didn't want to take any chances.
When the two of them were walking with their swords, Shan Qun also returned angrily with his swords. He shook his head regretfully and said, "Oh, I didn't catch him, so he ran away."
Returning to the square in front of the council hall, the remaining three members of the Poison Sect were all captured and tied up tightly.
After interrogation, two of them remained silent, while the other one couldn't help but torture and intimidate, and revealed everything he knew. However, he was only an ordinary disciple and had limited knowledge, and had no important information for reference.
First, they detained the three people and put them in a cell. Shanqun ordered all checkpoints to be strictly guarded and deployed more personnel to strengthen the alert. Then everyone went back and agreed to come back tomorrow to discuss countermeasures to deal with the crisis brought by the Poison Sect.
Gu Shengchao and Wan Ruo returned to their residence hand in hand. As soon as they arrived at the courtyard gate, they heard cheers and the innocent laughter of children from time to time.
The two entered the house, where Wu Jun and Yu Ji were playing with their little junior sister Zhenzhen. Yu Ji bought many toys from the Dawu Dynasty market, which made Zhenzhen overjoyed.
"Master and uncle are back." The two smiled and gave up their seats.
Seeing that the master was unhappy, Wu Jun poured tea and asked, "Is there something happening in our valley? Yu Ji and I also heard a lot of discussion outside."
Wan Ruo took a sip of tea and put it on the table, looking a little tired: "The Poison Sect came to attack today. Although it was unsuccessful, you should be more careful in the future to guard against them."
Wu Jun and Yu Ji agreed to leave. They greeted their junior sister and were about to turn around, but Zhenzhen refused and burst into tears.
"You're so good, let's not leave. Let's continue playing." Wu Jun picked up the toy.
There were tears on Zhenzhen's pink face, and she immediately smiled.
"This child must have followed her father and is shameless." Wan Ruo looked at Gu Shengchao and sneered.
"It's unfair. I've only been back for a few days. How can I have time to teach her?" Gu Shengchao complained aggrievedly.
Wu Jun watched the two of them bickering and having fun, then he picked up Zhenzhen and said, "Well, master and uncle have been tired for a whole day. You should have a good rest. How about Zhenzhen staying at my place tonight?"
"Is this possible?" Gu Shengchao was afraid that the child would refuse.
But Zhenzhen hugged Wu Jun's neck, holding on to the toy with both small hands.
"I promised, don't cry when you go to my sister's place." Wu Jun teased Zhenzhen.
Zhenzhen just smiled and couldn't speak yet. Judging from his expression, he agreed.
Gu Shengchao had no choice but to wrap up all the toys and give them to Yu Ji.
The two hugged Zhenzhen and left. Gu Shengchao sent them out and prepared to close the courtyard door.
Yu Ji whispered: "My master is in a bad mood today. Master, please don't make her angry. My master's temper is difficult to deal with."
"I understand, thank you for reminding me." Gu Shengchao watched the two of them laughing and walking away while teasing the children.
Back in the house, Gu Shengchao took the initiative to boil foot washing water and helped Wan Ruo take off her shoes and socks and soak them in the water.
Seeing Gu Shengchao's hesitant expression, Wan Ruo said softly: "If you have something to say, just tell me. I won't be angry."
"Then let me ask." Gu Shengchao indeed had many questions in his heart.
"Say." Wan Ruo rubbed her feet together.
Gu Shengchao thought for a moment and asked, "You will be able to wield a sword, will it be before or after we get married?"
Wanruo chuckled: "That's it. Why did I think it was important?"
"Isn't this important?" Gu Shengchao learned it through hardships, so of course he takes it seriously.
Wan Ruo smiled and said: "As the King of the Four Kings Valley, if I don't have some real skills, do you think they will obey me?"
"Now that we are married, why do you hide your strength in front of me?" Gu Shengchao saw Wan Ruo's dashing figure walking with a sword today, and suddenly realized that there were many things wrong in the past.
Wan Ruo glanced at him: "It was the head who asked me to do this. I agreed to marry you at that time, and the head asked me not to show superior skills in front of you, for fear that you would feel inferior. He said that you have extraordinary internal strength, and sooner or later You are the best among men, let me help you grow up slowly. If I had known you were so shameless, I would have been too lazy to hide it, and all our hard work was wasted."
