At this time, the elites of Lu Yuandao's major forces gathered outside the Danyang sect's mountain gate. There was a dense crowd, and everyone looked nervously at the demon god who seemed to have walked out of hell.
In the Danyang Sect, the fire is burning,
The scorching heat made the flying snow in the sky melt and unable to fall. Blood flowed like a river. There were wailing sounds everywhere, and the bones and ruins were mixed together. It was a complete purgatory on earth.
And the man holding the two swords walked out majestically, facing thousands of people by himself.
A tattered black robe was flying, covered with blood.
His hair was dyed red with blood,
Stepping on the corpses one after another, he walked out.
The elite disciples of each major sect could not help but feel a trace of fear in their hearts.
They really couldn't imagine what kind of hell the Danyang Sect was like on earth.
They know one fact better,
Gu Zhan walked out alone, which meant that all the famous martial arts figures in Lu Yuandao died inside.
He single-handedly defeated nearly half of Lu Yuandao's world.
Feeling Gu Zhan's gaze,
Those Lu Yuandao martial arts people standing in front couldn't help but feel their scalps go numb.
A grandmaster suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted: "Gu Zhan, you are braving the disdain of the world. You are so cruel, you are not afraid of the righteous martial arts..."
"Kacha"
At that moment,
Gu Zhan suddenly swung his sword,
A bolt of lightning suddenly exploded in the sky, and a beam of thunderous light swept directly and struck the grandmaster. The first-generation grandmaster died.
"If you don't come, then I will come!"
Gu Zhan roared loudly and stamped his foot hard. A deep pit appeared on the ground. He rose into the air, held the horizontal knife in both hands, and slashed it fiercely.
Waves of "Kacha" and "Kacha" sounds sounded,
Streams of thunder and lightning condensed and poured out like waterfalls, rushing towards the crowd.
"Ah" "Ah"
Wails rang out, thunder struck down, and the earth shattered. Many martial arts masters who had no time to react were directly killed, and their bodies flew everywhere.
"Fight!"
"Surround him!"
"..."
Many people roared and rushed towards Gu Zhan to kill him.
"Roar……"
Gu Zhan let out a roar, and the terrifying power of true energy surged into the sky, like divine flames burning, and his body exploded with immeasurable luster. He was like a god of thunder descending into the world, standing on top of the sky and waving the two horizontal knives in his hands vigorously.
Every time he swings, he takes away a large area of enemies.
Among the crowds, streaks of thunder and lightning exploded crazily, destroying everything, and endless thunder surged, terrifying and shocking, sweeping in all directions.
"Boom!" "Boom" "Boom"
Violent big explosions are happening everywhere, rocks are shattering, and various energies collide and spread outward like big waves.
Gu Zhan's fighting spirit soared into the sky, and he waved his horizontal sword, sweeping through the thunderbolts. The mountains and rocks shattered, and the enemies exploded one by one.
With a wave of the horizontal knife in his hand, the masters who surrounded him flew up like scarecrows, and then fell down in pieces, with blood splattering everywhere. No one could block his footwork, and he marched forward without hesitation.
Many people are afraid,
As soon as the first one escapes, there will be a second one,
The army is fighting, and if you are not careful, the whole army will collapse, not to mention the Jianghu forces. After the leader is killed and flees in fear, the vast crowd becomes a mob.
Gu Zhan held two horizontal knives and charged into the crowd.
Blood dripping, countless broken limbs and broken arms flying around,
One after another weeping,
Corpses were scattered everywhere,
The blood flowed like after a heavy rain, and countless stagnant water washed down the mountain. However, today's stagnant water was a bit special, it was thick blood.
Danyang sent,
Amidst the heavy snowfall, an unprecedented terrifying scene appeared, like purgatory,
Sometimes it is accompanied by stumps and broken arms, sometimes it is accompanied by a head, some people are flying around, vomiting blood and falling; some people have their legs cut off, leaving a body wailing, some people have their heads broken, and their brains are splattered;
Gu Zhan raised and lowered his sword without stopping step by step.
Wherever he passed, blood was dripping, corpses were scattered everywhere, and the sound of howling and fear echoed throughout the countryside.
One person, two knives,
Chasing thousands of people and slashing wildly across the mountains and plains,
The terrifying sword energy mercilessly strangled large areas of people. The blood dyed half of Danyang Mountain red, which complemented the other half of the snow-capped mountains, creating a unique flavor.
…
Danyang Mountain is a huge mountain range.
There are many peaks standing in the mountains, but the Danyang Sect only occupied a few peaks in relatively good locations to establish mountain gates.
And when Gu Zhan was chasing thousands of people all over the mountains and killing them, three people were watching on an inconspicuous hilltop. The leader was Yuan Zhixiang, the great elder of Sword King City. Next to him is an old man with white hair. This man is the contemporary sword-wielding elder of Sword King City. His name is Nie Guishen. He is a top master who has been famous for many years. He is known as the best in the world.
The reason why he is nicknamed "Bi Zhu Zhong" is because Nie Guishen's path to fame is very strange. He joined the Sword King City at the age of three and is a famous genius. At the age of twenty, he entered the Taoist realm and went down the mountain to experience. This began his legendary journey.
There is no doubt that Nie Guishen is a top genius. However, since he left the Sword King City thirty years ago, he has constantly challenged the masters of the same realm, never losing, but strangely, he has never won. , until he became the ultimate master, all challenges to warriors in the same realm ended in a draw, so he was called by the people in the world as equals.
His master, the previous generation of sword-wielding elders in Sword King City, once commented that Nie Guishen is the kind of person who becomes stronger when he encounters strength and becomes weak when encountering weakness. Therefore, his upper limit is very high.
The evaluation of Nie Guishen in the world has always been quite controversial. Some people think that he can compete with the top ten masters on the grandmaster list, and even think that he can enter the top three. However, many people do not agree, because Nie Guishen has challenged many since his debut. None of the masters in the same realm are at the top of that realm.
Nie Guishen's battle to become a god was in Qingzhou where he challenged an old top grandmaster and ended in a draw. After that battle, no one doubted his strength as a top grandmaster, but they questioned the rumors that he could be on par with the grandmaster list.
After all, he had never killed a fellow warrior in his life.
Although it is said that he becomes stronger when he is strong, but he has never challenged anyone who can really get him out of controversy.
However, for this reason, no one is sure whether he only has that level of strength or whether he really has the strength to challenge the top ten masters.
this problem,
The people in Sword King City didn’t know, not even Nie Guishen himself.
Because in daily sparring, it is impossible to get really angry, and there is no way to confirm the true combat power. Moreover, although he is a top master, his seniority is lower than that of Wei Wuya Yuan Zhixiang, one of the top ten recognized masters. It is impossible for a generation to really fight against their elders, and other masters also have no chance.
Therefore, regardless of the real strength of Nie Guishen, it has always been a hotly discussed topic in the world.
…
At this time, behind Yuan Zhixiang and Nie Guishen was a man in black robe wearing a grimace mask, carrying a sword like a fire stick on his back, motionless, as if he was a statue.
Looking at the god-like and demon-like people on Danyang Mountain, Nie Guishen held his sword tightly, with a strong fighting spirit, and he couldn't help but want to go out and fight.
Different from Yuan Zhixiang’s indifference,
Nie Guishen is only in his fifties and in his prime.
Although martial arts monks cannot increase lifespan, compared to ordinary people, the decline of body functions will be delayed much longer, and the peak period is longer. Generally speaking, masters who do not have hidden diseases often start to die after they are sixty years old. Downhill.
Therefore, Nie Guishen is now at his peak,
Seeing Gu Zhan's demon-like demeanor, he really wanted to fight, but he didn't move, not even a bit of energy leaked out, and stood quietly in the heavy snow, watching.
"Uncle Master, how long do we have to wait?" Nie Guishen asked.
Yuan Zhixiang's expression was dull, he looked in the direction of Danyang Mountain and said slowly: "It's fast, it's fast, it's going to be strong in one go, then it will weaken again, and then it will be exhausted. When Gu Zhan is exhausted, it's time for Qi Baiyu to take action!"
Nie Guishen subconsciously turned his head and looked at the ghostly masked man behind him.
This masked man with a grimace is the possessed Qi Baiyu.
Looking at Qi Baiyu, Nie Guishen felt a little emotional.
He had never heard of it before, and he had never thought that the famous Qi Baiyu was actually created by his two uncles, the headmaster Wei Wuya and the great elder Yuan Zhixiang.
When Wei Wuya and Yuan Zhixiang found him that day and told him about the matter and the plan they had been planning for so many years, he was shocked.
When Qi Baiyu was just a child,
It has actually been discovered by Wei Wuya.
However, Wei Wuya did not bring Qi Baiyu back to Sword King City. Instead, he secretly created some so-called opportunities and gradually guided Wei Wuya to become the number one genius in Yunzhou.
It can be said that Qi Baiyu's life was all arranged by Wei Wuya and Yuan Zhixiang, such as Qi Baiyu's battle to become famous, such as the magical secrets that Qi Baiyu accidentally obtained, and all the things Qi Baiyu did on his way to fame. The enemies he encountered, such as a certain accident, etc., guided Qi Baiyu's beliefs and thoughts step by step.
Even Qi Baiyu fell in love with Liu Baishi at first sight, and Liu Baishi also fell in love with Qi Baiyu, both of which were facilitated by Wei Wuya's arrangement.
Every time I think of this,
Nie Guishen couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling for a while, and he couldn't help but think of his master's instructions to him when he was still alive, to be a good sword-wielding elder and not to have thoughts that he shouldn't have.
It wasn't until that day that he truly understood his master's instructions.
The real headmaster is too terrifying.
At the same time, he also felt some sympathy for Qi Baiyu.
A monster-level prodigy from an amazing era has actually been living in the arrangement and shaping of others. Even his character and thoughts were shaped by others.
Of course, he just sighed and had no other thoughts. He knew his position very well, that is, as a helper, responsible for helping to maintain unexpected situations.
Because this stage is too sensitive, the devil is watching, the White Lotus Sect is at war with the imperial court, the attention of many forces in the world is on Yunzhou, and Wei Wuya's identity is too obvious, it will be easy if he does not appear in the Sword King City for a long time Get someone's attention.
As for Yuan Zhixiang and him, it is different.
Yuan Zhixiang often retreats, and he is famous for his love of traveling. He can disappear for three to five months without attracting the attention of outsiders.
Therefore, the two of them were responsible for the finishing work of Qi Baiyu's obsession.
Although he is involved now, his participation is actually not high. He just follows Yuan Zhixiang and is ready to take action to control the situation if he finds that things are going uncontrollable.
However, there have been no surprises during this period, and every step has been carried out according to plan.
Just as Wei Wuya arranged,
Liu Baishi and Qi Baiyu were both sword madmen. Such people's thoughts were very stubborn and morbid, and they would even sacrifice themselves for the so-called love. Therefore, Liu Baishi died in Qi Baiyu's planned way. Under the sword, Qi Baiyu's sword reached a higher level, infinitely close to Dacheng.
And Qi Baiyu also became possessed.
If this matter started from the beginning to now, the only thing that was a little unexpected was that Wei Wuya underestimated Qi Baiyu's love for Liu Baishi to the point of being desperate.
Before, Qi Baiyu suddenly married a woman and abandoned his sword to live in seclusion. Yuan Zhixiang and Wei Wuya both thought that Qi Baiyu had discovered some clues. However, it turned out that Qi Baiyu was worried that he would kill Liu Baishi. .
However, although there was a slight deviation, it was not big.
Qi Baiyu finally succeeded in becoming a demon.
Unlike Jian Yi, Jian Yi was not shaped by Wei Wuya since he was a child, and his control over Jian Yi was not enough, which led to Jian Yi directly defecting for Nangong Weiyang after becoming a demon.
However, Qi Baiyu is different,
Qi Baiyu's whole life was in Wei Wuya's plan, and his thoughts, character, and temper were all planned by Wei Wuya. Therefore, after Qi Baiyu became a demon, he could use the characteristics of the technique to control it well.
…
However, Nie Guishen looked at Qi Baiyu, still a little worried, and whispered: "Uncle Master, will there really be no more accidents? Qi Baiyu's talent is too terrifying. His swordsmanship after becoming a demon is too deep." It’s unpredictable, will it really not get out of control?”
Yuan Zhixiang shook his head and said: "There is no guarantee for this matter. Therefore, the headmaster asked me to take you to prevent such an accident. However, the possibility of losing control is unlikely. Unlike Jianyi, Qi Baiyu has always been trained by the headmaster, and his mental control has been exerted over many years."
Nie Guishen asked again: "But, after Qi Baiyu kills Gu Zhan today, he will definitely break through to the ultimate master. By then..."
"Then it's really foolproof," Yuan Zhixiang said: "The skills that Qi Baiyu practiced were prepared for him by the master. The higher the level of cultivation, the greater the impact of the skills. When he breaks through the top master In one moment, the last possibility of losing control was gone.”
Nie Guishen narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "This...if this technique is used in other sects, wouldn't it be possible to control the whole world..."
"You think too simplistically," Yuan Zhixiang shook his head and said, "This technique was developed by the master after decades of hard work, in order to replace spiritual energy with demonic energy and create an unrestricted cave. Realm land gods have too high requirements for cultivation. After so many years, we have only discovered Jian Yi and Qi Baiyu. How many monsters like Qi Baiyu and Jian Yi do you think you can meet?"
"This..." Nie Guishen sighed and said, "This disciple takes it for granted."
Yuan Zhixiang pondered: "In the past few decades, in the entire Yunzhou, only Jian Yi and Qi Baiyu have met the requirements. Even Gu Zhan cannot meet the requirements."
"Gu Zhan can't even do it?" Nie Guishen was surprised.
Yuan Zhixiang nodded and said: "Headmaster tested it before when we fought with Gu Zhan. Gu Zhan is just like you and me. He has no immortal destiny, no spiritual platform, and is almost at the end of his martial arts."
Nie Guishen sighed and said: "This immortal fate is really helpless. Many talented and beautiful people have wasted their lives because they have no immortal fate. However, Uncle Master, Qi Baiyu and Jian Yi all have immortal fate. It would be such a pity if the master’s plan fails!”
Yuan Zhixiang shook his head slightly and said: "There is no way, I have to take a gamble. Moreover, in today's world, it is difficult to enter the cave heaven realm again if you are destined to be immortal!"
After that, Yuan Zhixiang pointed to the sky and said slowly: "The sky has changed, getting shorter and smaller!"
Nie Guishen was a little confused.
However, before he could ask, Yuan Zhixiang suddenly narrowed his eyes, looked in the direction of Danyang Mountain, and whispered: "It's almost the same, Gu Zhan's momentum has been exhausted!"
As soon as the words fell,
Yuan Zhixiang immediately pinched the spell with his hands, muttering words in his mouth, and wisps of true power spread out from his fingers. He pointed towards Qi Baiyu,
At that moment,
Qi Baiyu, who had been silent without saying a word or making any movement, suddenly moved, and wisps of evil energy suddenly spread from his body. Under the grimace mask, his eyes that had been closed suddenly opened, and his blood-red eyes There were streaks of blood-colored mist lingering, and the breath was frightening, like an evil ghost coming out of hell.
"Uncle Master!" Nie Guishen took a deep breath and said, "Are you sure?"
Yuan Zhixiang's face turned grim and he said, "It must be done. Gu Zhan is Qi Baiyu's last sharpening stone."
Nie Guishen whispered: "I always have a bad premonition. Gu Zhan is too evil. He must have some trump cards that we don't know about. I have already investigated everything about this guy's experience since his debut. I have gone over and over again. After researching it several times, I finally concluded that it is evil.
This boy seems to have encountered many crises along the way, and has never had any strong background support. But in every fatal situation, he will burst out with unimaginable trump cards, and they have never been revealed before, such as Who dares to believe that this person has already mastered the Thunder Slash to such an extent?
I'm afraid no one in the Qianyu Sect's hundreds of years of history has cultivated to such a profound level, but I've never seen him use it before. Uncle Master, do you believe that this was cultivated by Gu Zhancai? No matter how talented he is, he can't master Thunder Slash in a year and a half! "
Yuan Zhixiang nodded and said: "I understand. I will be prepared at any time. If something unexpected happens, I will take Qi Baiyu and leave immediately before making plans."
…
Danyang Mountain,
It was a chaotic mess, with large pieces of trees broken, rocks rolling, fires burning inside the Danyang sect's mountain gate, corpses strewn across the field, and blood flowing like rivers.
Among the stone steps halfway up the mountain,
Gu Zhan crushed a grandmaster's head with one foot. The two horizontal knives in his hands were stuck on the stone steps. He kicked away the headless corpse in front of him and slowly sat down on the stone steps dripping with blood.
He let out a long breath of turbid breath,
Seeing those people running away in panic in the mountains, Gu Zhan was no longer interested in pursuing them. All the masters had been killed, and the remaining minions had also been killed a lot. It was really a bit boring.
After the masters had finished chopping, the remaining people were just living sticks in his eyes.
However, chopping firewood is also a physical job.
If you chop for a long time, you will still get tired.
When he sat down, he immediately felt a sense of fatigue, and the real energy in his body had been almost depleted.
At this time, the sky had darkened,
However, the raging fire was burning on Danyang Mountain, lighting up half of the sky, making the flying snowflakes look a bit like fireflies in summer, which was quite beautiful.
It's been a long time since I've been so hearty. Today's battle lasted from morning until late at night.
Gu Zhan reached out and took out an oil cake wrapped in oil paper from his arms.
This came from the Danyang Mountain Gate at noon. At that time, he had already guessed that he would not have a chance to eat today, so he took a fried cake and took it with him.
There was a lot of blood on the oil paper, but the oil paper was waterproof and did not soak in, so the oil cake could still be eaten.
Maybe he keeps it close to his body,
The pancake is still a little warm.
On the mountainside, firelight was lingering, snowflakes were slowly flying, and the flowing blood had begun to condense, looking so strange and deep,
Gu Zhan sat among the corpses on the ground, slowly took a bite of the pancake and chewed it. Under the night, with the sky full of firelight behind him and his body surrounded by broken limbs, he looked very lonely.
Just then,
On the stone steps at the foot of the mountain,
Suddenly a figure appeared, walking up step by step,
It's a man with a ghost mask on his face,
The sword with a blood-red luster in his hand can be called a sword, because if you look closely, the sword is just an iron lump. The hilt is normal, but the blade is very irregular. When it comes to a sharp sword blade, it can't even be called a blade.
But Gu Zhan thought that sword was very good.
Because, at this time, his horizontal sword was almost the same as that sword.
And his knife was made entirely from cutting people. After cutting too many people, the blade seemed to have been beaten countless times, and it was beaten into an iron knot.
And the sword in the hand of the ghost-faced masked man is the same,
Gu Zhan is very experienced.
Therefore, he could tell at a glance,
It was cut by someone.
The man in black walked up step by step. With every step he took, he could feel the oppression between heaven and earth getting stronger.
Gu Zhan still ate the fried pancake in a leisurely manner.
It takes about half a cup of tea to touch.
The man with the ghostly mask came up,
Gu Zhan sat on the steps above, looking down at the masked man with a grimace, and said slowly: "If I guessed correctly, you should be Qi Baiyu."
The man in the ghost mask tilted his head stiffly, then slowly took off the mask, revealing a handsome but strange face, and made a strange sound from his mouth:
"Finally...meet..."
