cliff bottom
Chang An stood in the sacrificial forest with ragged clothes and scars all over his body.
There is a constant cold wind in the gray sacrificial forest, and hanging skeletons sway on the surrounding trees. Sometimes the cold wind passes through the holes in the skulls, and an even more terrifying scream is emitted.
Behind him, messy corpses were scattered all over the sacrificial forest. In front of him, in the distance within reach, a little light shone, which even made Chang An, who was used to being in the dark, feel a little dazzling.
He slightly blocked his eyes with his hands and squinted his eyes, as if he wanted to see clearly ahead, but the light ahead was too dazzling for him now.
He did not hesitate and continued walking forward. The further he walked, the fewer and fewer trees were in front of him, and the surrounding area was no longer dark.
He knew that he was almost about to pass through the sacrificial forest and reach the real core area at the bottom of the underground cliff, the main altar area.
He slightly clenched the long sword in his hand, and while walking forward, he adjusted his breathing and slowly restored his internal strength.
After a while, he finally came to the outermost edge of the sacrificial forest. At this time, he had gradually adapted to the light. His face was slightly shocked, but he saw another hole in front of him.
Light kept pouring out from the hole, and he felt slightly that something was wrong. He might have stayed in the darkness for too long before. It was not until his eyes tried again at this moment that he realized that the light was very soft, like moonlight, and Like starlight.
Without a moment's hesitation, he stepped into the cave. As soon as he stepped into the cave, he felt that the world was spinning, as if the sun and the moon were upside down, and the mountains and rivers were changing. Above the cave, there seemed to be stars flowing on the stone wall at an extremely fast speed. The colorful lights were constantly changing in front of Chang An's eyes, and he felt as if his whole body was groggy, as if he had slept for a long, long time, lasting thousands of years.
It didn't take long for him to step out of the cave. When he stepped out of the cave, his whole person felt like he was new again, radiant. He hadn't slept for a long time, and he was already exhausted physically and mentally. At this moment, he felt energetic, even though his body was full of energy. The injuries and the internal energy in his body remained unchanged, but his energy and energy reached their peak.
After a brief moment of surprise, his eyes returned to the front.
But the sight in front of him was jaw-dropping. In his ears, the sound of waves continued, and in the distance in front of him, there was an endless sea!
Above the sea, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, causing huge waves to surge towards the shore. The waves that hit the shore splashed Chang An's feet wet. In the sky, the bright moon hung high, the stars were full, and the sea reflected the bright light. of moonlight.
Chang An took a deep breath, and a faint fishy smell hit his face.
"who!"
But he saw four people standing not far away, their eyes wary, staring at Chang An.
Chang An followed the voice and looked over, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
: "So you are here."
He recognized two of them at once. They were the three who attacked him behind the stone wall that night, and two of them survived.
But those two people also recognized him
: "It's you, Chang An!"
The other two people looked at each other and looked at the two people questioningly.
: "Is he Chang An?"
Both of them nodded slightly, their eyes cold.
"You're actually here? Are all the people in the forest dead?"
One of them shouted in a deep voice, as if he wanted to alert the senior patrollers of the sacrificial forest outside the cave.
Chang An crossed his arms and said calmly
"No need to shout, they can't come, I have killed them all."
"What!"
Four people exclaimed at the same time.
One hundred Tonghe-level masters were killed by him alone?
One of them stared at Chang An and said in a deep voice:
"You're deceiving us."
But looking at the scars on Chang An's body, he hesitated a little. If it hadn't been for a battle in the Jilin Forest, how could he have come here with such wounds all over his body? And since he got here alive, would he have come here? It just shows that he did kill everyone.
Chang An was noncommittal, looked at the sea in front of him, and said with a chuckle
"Which building do you belong to? Please tell me your name. The road ends here. It is a life and death struggle. Whether I die or you die, it can be regarded as leaving traces in this world."
What greeted him was a solid spear.
"Niulou, Pojun."
The spear moved forward indomitably, as if it had the momentum to advance but not retreat. Chang An smiled and said
"Well done!"
The two fingers of his left hand firmly pressed against the tip of the gun.
"Click!"
That Pojun's expression changed suddenly, and he actually saw the slightest crack on the tip of the gun! He turned around quickly, withdrew his arm and took the spear away from Chang An's fingertips.
"Sheep Tower, a hundred steps can cross the Yang Tower"
Among the remaining three people, one was holding a long bow. Just when Chang An was resisting Pojun's spear, an arrow hit Chang An directly between the eyebrows.
Chang An's face did not change, and the fingers of his left hand turned into claws, and he grabbed the cold arrow. However, he saw that the cold arrow was still several feet away from Chang An. Chang An waved lightly, and the arrow deviated strangely along Chang An's hand. Passing by Chang An's ear.
"Dragon Catcher!"
Yang was shocked and turned pale.
Beside him, the assassin holding a launching device was already aiming at Chang An, and several thin black iron needles were sprayed out from the front end of the launching device.
"Chicken Tower, heavy rain and pear blossoms."
The man's eyes were as cold as a knife and he said calmly.
Chang An looked surprised
"Did you make this wonderful transmitting device?"
The figure did not stop, and the thin needles fired through the launching device were much faster than the hidden weapons thrown by ordinary hidden weapon masters.
Chang An waited until the thin needle met the door and narrowly avoided it. He jumped up, rolled several times in the air, and suddenly said
"Everyone, my time is limited, let's make a quick decision."
But when he heard the sound of "Cang!", Chang An took advantage of the high altitude and heard the sword rising in response. The soul-stirring sound waves echoed on the shore, and the four building owners were shocked.
Then a long sword fell from the sky, directly piercing the rainstorm pear blossoms in the Chicken Tower, and then returned to Chang An's hands.
The other three building owners quickly came to their senses, all looking horrified.
In the distance, huge waves were rolling on the sea.
Chang An's figure disappeared into a mist, and the next moment, Po Jun had been struck by a sword and fell to the ground.
Yanglou's Baibu Chuanyang quickly regained his composure. Five arrow feathers were placed on the string. He moved his long bow horizontally, and the five arrow feathers advanced in unison, sealing all Chang'an's retreat routes.
The remaining person took out the long knife in his hand
"Ma Lou, Zang Feng."
The sharp edge of the long sword was revealed, and Zang Feng's eyes showed a bloodthirsty red color. He smiled evilly and licked his tongue. At the same time as five arrow feathers attacked Chang An, his whole body instantly rose up, bursting out at an astonishing speed. , unexpectedly caught up with the five arrow feathers, and the long knife struck Chang An's head straight down.
Chang An slowly opened the wall of inner strength, and five arrow feathers attacked at the same time. Even if he used the Dragon Capturing Hand, he would never be able to do it in time.
Five arrows pierced Chang An two feet away from his body. When he fell, Zang Feng slashed at his head with great force.
"Click!"
Chang An was shocked to find that his sword was almost breaking through the inner wall of strength.
"Are you about to become a master?"
Chang An couldn't help but say that except for special weapons like the Xuan Iron, only with this level of internal strength could it pose a threat to his internal energy wall.
But Zang Feng smiled evilly and used his strength again.
"boom!"
The inner strength wall shattered in response, but the next moment, Chang An's long sword still pierced Zang Feng's chest.
"Whoosh!"
Another cold arrow came, and another five arrows were fired together. Chang An's face was gloomy, and his inner strength wall was broken. He wanted to draw his sword to resist, but he saw that Zang Feng was holding Chang An's sword tightly and refused to let him take it back.
Chang An's expression tightened, and the long sword that pierced Zang Feng shone brightly. Zang Feng's face suddenly twisted in extreme pain, and a sword energy burst out from his body, splitting him in half.
Immediately, Chang An quickly used Sword Shadow Qingkui to block the five arrow feathers within a fraction of a second.
At this time, Baibu Chuanyang, who had always been calm, finally panicked. Once the archer was exposed to the melee master, he would not be far from death.
Chang An came to him in the blink of an eye and cut his throat with a sword.
Then, he looked at the endless sea in front of him, let out a long breath, and slowly fell to the ground. He killed everyone, but only saw this sea. Suddenly, endless emptiness hit his heart.
Unknowingly, he fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep. He hadn't closed his eyes for about two days and two nights. He was indeed very tired.
Chu's Villa.
Chu Yuchao slowly walked into the courtyard and looked at Zhuang Xiuyu who was shocked, and he was also a little strange.
"Miss Zhuang, what's the problem?"
Zhuang Xiuyu came back to her senses and saw Chu Ping saying
"Miss Zhuang said there is something wrong with the sun in the sky."
Chu Yuchao looked at the sky. It was almost noon, and the sun in the sky was almost directly overhead.
"What happened to the sun?"
Zhuang Xiuyu asked in surprise
"Don't you think it's strange that we can look directly at the sun with such great rays of light? And at night, except for the Big Dipper, the other stars in the starry sky seem to be covered with a layer of veil. You never Do you think it’s strange?”
Chu Yuchao and Chu Ping looked at each other, Chu Ping said
"This sky has been like this for as long as I can remember. My Chu family has lived here for generations and I have never found it strange."
Chu Yuchao's complexion changed slightly, as if he had remembered something.
"To be strange, every time I go out, I do feel that the weather outside is different from here. But I thought it was because of the location of my Chu family, and I never cared about it."
Zhuang Xiuyu shook his head and said
"It's so different. It's not like the sky I've seen before."
Then, as if she remembered something, she asked
"Master Chu, what is the secret in the black coffin forest?"
When Chu Yuchao heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he instantly became gloomy.
"Miss Zhuang, what do you want to ask?"
Zhuang Xiuyu took a deep breath and told everything he saw in the black coffin forest. However, he saw Chu Yuchao and Chu Ping's expressions were gloomy and uncertain. Zhuang Xiuyu saw that their expressions were abnormal.
"You...all know?"
But Chu Yuchao suddenly said in a deep voice
"Come here! Send Miss Zhuang back to the house and take good care of her."
Zhuang Xiuyu's complexion changed drastically
"You really know!"
She ran away, but she saw a stone appear in Chu Yuchao's hand. With a flick, it hit her right leg. Her right leg softened and she fell directly to the ground.
Zhuang Xiuyu looked at Chu Yuchao in disbelief. Outside the courtyard, two disciples from the village took her into custody.
"Master Chu, why did you do this?"
Until this moment, she still couldn't believe why the kind-faced martial arts leader would do such a thing.
Chu Ping couldn't bear it and said
"Master, do you have to do this?"
Chu Yuchao interrupted him
"All we can do is do our best and listen to fate."
Chu Ping said again
"Today, a group of people from the twelfth floor came outside the black coffin forest. Do you want to keep an eye on them?"
Chu Yuchao sneered.
"Don't you know what they came for? They planned to kill a large number of martial arts people in Liangzhou. I guessed at that time that it was probably because of the Black Coffin Forest."
Chu Ping suddenly said
"Is that why the owner of the village invited Master Chang to the villa?"
Chu Yuchao looked at the tall stone wall in the distance, his eyes suddenly changed with sadness.
"Originally, I thought that since Chang An was here, it would be a doomed fate. I wanted Chang An to reveal everything and not leave a way out for me, but he..."
Chu Ping sighed
"The owner of the village has good intentions, but things often don't go as planned..."
Chu Yuchao looked at the scorching sun above his head. It was summer and the villa was starting to get hot, but Chu Yuchao's heart felt as cold as the twelfth lunar month in winter.
"You secretly released Miss Zhuang in a few days. Maybe she was right. We may have trapped ourselves here for too long, and we have forgotten why we are here."
Chu Ping smiled bitterly
"The family inheritance has been cut off for a long time. Back then, my Chu family produced several masters in the realm of gods. But now, I don't even know what I am living for."
…
May 15th, three days later.
Chu Ping came to the outside of Zhuang Xiuyu's courtyard. Two disciples stood outside the courtyard, guarding the courtyard under the scorching sun.
"housekeeper."
Seeing Chu Ping, the two disciples saluted.
Chu Ping nodded.
"Is Miss Zhuang okay?"
The disciple said
"Apart from being a little thin, Miss Zhuang is fine."
Chu Ping nodded. Suddenly, his eyes became sharp. When the two were caught off guard, he knocked them unconscious with two hand knives.
In the yard, Zhuang Xiuyu, who was lying on the ground looking at the sky, heard the sound and suddenly started to do something.
But after a moment, Chu Ping slowly walked in.
"Butler!"
Zhuang Xiuyu said in surprise.
Chu Pingdao
"Miss Zhuang, please leave quickly. I've taken care of everything in Zhuangzi for you."
Zhuang Xiuyu said doubtfully
"Butler, why do you want to save me?"
Chu Ping sighed
"Miss Zhuang, my village owner also has his own reasons. Don't blame him."
Zhuang Xiuyu asked again
"What's the reason?"
Chu Ping said
"Miss Zhuang, if you go to the Black Coffin Forest, you will naturally know."
Zhuang Xiuyu was full of questions, but she knew she didn't have time to get to the bottom of it. She put her arrow box and red bow on her back, thanked Chu Ping, and ran out.
Not long after, she arrived outside the black coffin forest again.
Zhuang Xiuyu looked at the sky, then at the black coffin forest in front of her, with firm eyes.
"Let me solve the secret of the Chu Family Villa for you, sir."
After half an hour of groping, she followed her memories of the previous days and once again arrived at the place she had found before.
"I remember it should be right here."
There was a large piece of chopped tree stump there. According to Wan Chaoyang, there should be a pattern made up of the Big Dipper.
"You're here!"
Behind her, a man's voice suddenly appeared. She suddenly turned around and saw Chu Xiangyue standing behind her, looking at her coldly.
Zhuang Xiuyu recognized him as Chu Guanyu's cousin and said
"Why are you here?"
Chu Xiangyue's eyes were cold
"When the housekeeper let you go just now, I took a peek to see what you wanted to do when you ran out of Zhuangzi and came here!"
Zhuang Xiuyu had no time to fight with him, but Chu Xiangyue refused to let go and grabbed her neck. She was about to scream when she heard someone talking in the distance.
Chu Xiangyue frowned
"Who dares to sneak around in our Chu family's territory?"
Just as he was about to step forward to drive them away, he was suddenly knocked down by Zhuang Xiuyu behind him.
"Shh!"
She made a gesture of silence. Chu Xiangyue was about to get angry when she heard a childish voice in front of her.
"Are you done with your work?"
On the side, someone responded
"Master, I've connected them all, there are seventy-seven forty-nine trees."
Zhuang Xiuyu was very familiar with that child's voice. She slowly raised her head, but was surprised to find that those people were reconnecting the last tree to the stump.
"Isn't there only seven corpses? How come they were all found in just a few days?"
She suddenly recalled that day, the two people said that a large amount of goods would be coming soon.
When Chu Xiangyue heard the child's voice, he was furious. He immediately recognized that the child was the one who attacked their Chu family in the Black Coffin Forest that night.
He just wanted to get up, but was pushed down by Zhuang Xiuyu again
"Let me go!"
…
At the bottom of the cliff, by the sea.
Chang An has been sitting here for three full days, his face is heavy. During these three days, he has been thinking hard, but he has not figured out what is going on in the sea.
But what he didn't know was that at the same time the assassins on the twelfth floor in the black coffin forest connected the last tree.
On the sea surface, something suddenly appeared.
Chang An's expression changed, he ran to the beach and looked at the thing floating on the sea from a distance.
But at this moment, there was a rare calm situation on the sea surface, and seven square objects gradually floated on the sea surface.
At this moment, Chang An was surprised to find that the Sword God's Sword in his hand suddenly made a sword roar, and at the same moment, the seven floating objects on the sea also emitted light, seeming to be responding to the Sword God's Sword in Chang An's hand. !
