“Are you really okay?” Xiao Wu frowned.
Qiu Yutong calmed down and tried to force himself to ignore the inexplicable sense of fear, “En, I’m really okay.”
“But I see that your expression is not very good…”
“I just got a little dizzy, but I’m all right now.”
When the two were talking in a low voice, the entire limestone public square was extremely silent. All the sects, all the cultivators, all fixed their eyes on the two people on the martial arts stage. At this moment, in their hearts, there was only one thought ——
North Snow City and North Sea Sword Sect finally met!
“There’s a good show to watch now!”
“The Cuibing Peak Master and the Island Master from Ascension Island, tsk tsk, such an ostentation…”
“In my opinion, Sang Lingxi is not Gui Wuya’s opponent!”
“Peak Master Sang’s cultivation is indeed slightly inferior…”
“Yeah, one is second on the Swordsmanship Ranking, and the other is eighth on the Swordsmanship Ranking. That’s a few places away.”
“If they fought with each other, it’s really hard to say who wins and who loses!”
Within the crowd, Qingci looked at the two people on the stage and frowned deeply. This was completely different from the countermeasures he and Xie Wanting had discussed before…
He couldn’t help turning his head slightly and looking in the direction of North Snow City. Xie Wanting also happened to be looking in the direction of Qingci. The two exchanged glances from a distance, Xie Wanting shook his head gently, and said through a voice transmission, “It happened suddenly, let’s see and then talk about it.”
Qingci nodded.
On the side of Yuqin Palace, Lin Yurong looked at the stage worriedly while applying wound medicine to his younger brother, “Look at you, you made Peak Master Sang go on the martial arts stage…
Before Lin Yurong could finish speaking, Sang Lingxi let out a clear whistle and in the flash of lightning, the “Green Mist” around his waist suddenly unsheathed!
He actually wanted to attack!
“Hmph!” Gui Wuya sneered. In a burst of bright scarlet sword light, Weeping Blood swept diagonally towards Sang Lingxi!
The two spirit swords instantly became a mass of green shadows and red clouds, entangled together fiercely!
In just a moment, the two of them had already tumbled through hundreds of moves, and everyone in the audience was dazzled. The cultivators with a lower cultivation base could hardly even see the moves of the two of them!
“Is this… indistinguishable?”
“It seems so?”
“I think Island Master Gui still has the upper hand!”
“Yeah, Gui Wuya is known as the Dual Cultivator of Poison and Sword, and the Purple Insect Cauldron has not been used yet!”
“Yeah yeah…”
At this time, although Gui Wuya had the upper hand, he was arrogant. He couldn’t help but feel anxious after a long battle. After thinking for a while, he took three steps back, swung the sword with his right hand to protect his upper side, and raised the palm of his left palm upwards flatly, as he chanted.
Gradually, a hazy purple light appeared in the palm of his left hand. The purple light became brighter and brighter and gradually condensed into a solid body. It turned out to be a palm-sized Purple Cauldron!
“It’s the Purple Insect Cauldron,” Xie Wanting murmured and squeezed the armrest of his wheelchair lightly.
Bai Hanyuan couldn’t help but put his hand on the hilt of Beheading Wind and Snow.
“Peak Master Sang, get out of the way!” A female cultivator in the audience couldn’t help but shout in a low voice.
“Gui Wuya is going to start the Purple Insect Cauldron!”
“This time Sang Lingxi is doomed!”
” Run away quickly!”
It was too late and it was too fast, just when Gui Wuya’s lips were moving lightly, just as he was about to urge the Purple Insect Cauldron, Sang Lingxi did not retreat but advanced, his body shape was like smoke, and he appeared in front of Gui Wuya in an instant!
“Do you want to die?” Gui Wuya sneered, almost without thinking, he moved the Weeping Blood in his hand!
Sang Lingxi continued forward to Gui Wuya, and actually did not dodge!
“Tch—” With a very slight voice, Weeping Blood easily pierced through Sang Lingxi’s chest until there was no handle!
The audience suddenly screamed!
“My God!”
“Peak Master Sang!”
Several female cultivators couldn’t help but turn their heads slightly as if they couldn’t bear to look anymore.
The corners of Gui Wuya’s mouth were slightly raised, but his expression soon changed, “Sang Lingxi, are you crazy?!”
It turned out that Sang Lingxi didn’t care about Weeping Blood piercing his chest, he endured the pain until he pressured Gui Wuya, and suddenly pressed his right hand on the Purple Insect Cauldron!
“Wait, Sang Lingxi intentionally ran into it!”
“Intentionally ran into it?!”
“My God, is he trying to steal the Purple Insect Cauldron?”
Xie Wanting stared at the movement on the stage, not saying a word; Qingci couldn’t help standing up, looking like he was unable to endure, “Amitabha!”
“He’s thinking…” Xiao Wu couldn’t help frowning.
Qiu Yutong didn’t say a word, his eyes only stared at the two people on the martial arts stage. His fingernails dug deeply into the palm of his hand unconsciously; he already understood that Third Senior Brother was going to get himself seriously injured in order to abolish Gui Wuya’s magic weapon!
“You, you…” Gui Wuya stared at Sang Lingxi with a look of shock and anger and seemed to understand the other party’s intentions.
But at this moment, the two were very close; Weeping Blood had been completely inserted into Sang Lingxi’s chest and was entangled by the spiritual power in his body. If Gui Wuya wanted to get rid of Sang Lingxi, he could only let go of his sword. For a person like Gui Wuya, being forced to give up his sword was absolutely unbearable!
Sang Lingxi clenched his teeth tightly, his originally frivolous and handsome eyebrows were almost twisted under the extreme pain. He endured the severe pain in his chest, and his right hand tightly held the Purple Insect Cauldron in Gui Wuya’s hand, condensed all the spiritual energy in his body, and exerted his strength!
“Pa!!”
With a crackling sound, the small Purple Insect Cauldron suddenly shattered!
In an instant, countless strange poisonous insects swarmed out from the broken Purple Insect Cauldron. Centipedes, scorpions, worms, poisonous ants… It densely covered Gui Wuya’s left arm, and then it covered Sang Lingxi’s right arm! For a moment, the two of them were wrapped in poisonous insects! They were almost invisible!
“A lot of bugs! Poisonous bugs!”
“What, what’s going on here?”
“The Purple Insect Cauldron has shattered!”
The cultivators who were closer to the martial arts stage couldn’t help but retreat, for fear of being infected by these poisonous insects.
“Hiss…” The poisonous insects made a scalp-numbing hissing sound, frantically gnawing at the flesh and blood of Gui Wuya and Sang Lingxi, but at this moment, the two were at a stalemate in their spiritual power, and had no time to take care of the poisonous insects!
Bai Hanyuan’s brows jumped fiercely, and his right hand was already holding Beheading Wind and Snow!
“Wait,” Xie Wanting raised his hand.
Bai Hanyuan looked down at Xie Wanting in disbelief, “Sect Leader!”
“It’s not time yet, Lingxi is consuming Gui Wuya’s spiritual power,” Xie Wanting said solemnly.
At the same time, there was a soft rustling; Qiu Yutong was so anxious, Tianzhao Yunhai was halfway out of its sheath, Xiao Wu quickly held his hand, “Wait, look, what is that?”
Qiu Yutong was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, only a very sharp whistling sound was heard, and the poisonous insects on the two people on the stage actually fell one after another and dispersed!
Qiu Yutong was stunned. What kind of sound was this? The poisonous insects were afraid?
With this sharp whistling sound, two slender and vigorous figures, almost like ghosts, suddenly appeared on the martial arts stage! Then, these two figures, one on the left and one on the right, tightly clasped the left and right wrists of Gui Wuya!
Gui Wuya turned pale in shock, his hands suddenly softened, and he suddenly let go of Qi Xue!
Gui Wuya let go, with Weeping Blood in Sang Lingxi’s chest. He stumbled back a few steps, and then staggered; his legs softened, and he fell off the martial arts platform!
Bai Hanyuan leaped over and caught him.
“Third Junior Brother, how are you?”
“Cough, I’m okay, I didn’t hurt my heart and lungs, I’m okay… Second Senior Brother, what is that?” Sang Lingxi’s chest was seriously injured, and his face and hands were bitten beyond recognition by poisonous insects. Few people cared about his injury, and even Sang Lingxi didn’t care about himself, and only stared at the stage!
Devils!
The two people who suddenly appeared on the stage were pale in complexion, slender, and looked exactly the same. They could be called a pair of extremely beautiful twins. It’s just that the eyes of these two beautiful men turned out to be dark green vertical pupils, with an extremely enchanting aura!
Gui Wuya was caught off guard and was grabbed by the two demons from left to right. At this time, he was very angry and anxious, and he wanted to get rid of the imprisonment, but it was easier said than done.
The two demons stubbornly restrained Gui Wuya and said loudly at the same time,
“Fellow friends who have been invited, I am under the command of the Yutian Devil Emperor, I am the leader of the White Tiger Banner, Wu Liu. I was ordered to come here today and take the decree of the Leader of the Immortal Alliance!”
“Fellow friends who have been invited, I am under the command of the Yutian Demon Emperor, and I am the leader of the Vermillion Bird Banner, Wu Qi. I have been ordered to come here today and take the decree of the Leader of the Immortal Alliance!”
The two spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time. Their clear and high-pitched voices were exactly the same, and the content of what they said was exactly the same, except that one was called Wu Liu and the other was called Wu Qi. Other than that, there was no difference.
After everyone heard it, there was an uproar!
“They are devils?!”
“How arrogant! How arrogant!”
“But, but they captured Island Master Gui…”
“They are just taking advantage of people’s unpreparedness!”
Wu Liu and Wu Qi slowly glanced around the public square. Wu Liu suddenly stretched out his hand, raised Gui Wuya’s whole body, and threw him to Qingci under the stage!
Qingci was caught off guard, so he could only use “Yuan Zhuan Ru Yi” to catch him. He caught Gui Wuya around and fell to the ground; both of them were extremely embarrassed!
However, at this moment, Wu Qi had already jumped up, and almost effortlessly, he gently pulled out the decree of the Leader of the Immortal Alliance from Qingci’s waist!
“Bold devil!” Qingci’s face changed dramatically, and he was about to attack, but Wu Liu had already pulled Wu Qi and the two of them slid away, laughing loudly at the same time, “Thank you, Master, farewell!”
This dazzling series of changes made everyone feel dizzy. How could it be that this decree of the Leader of the Immortal Alliance was so easily taken by the demons? Wasn’t the entire cultivation world a joke?
“Wait!” With this stern shout, all eyes turned in the direction of North Snow City.
Xie Wanting pushed his wheelchair out.
“City Lord Xie?”
“He’s going to attack?”
“But his legs…”
Xie Wanting’s wheelchair slowly entered the center of the public square, and everyone almost involuntarily retreated to make way for him.
Xie Wanting stopped in front of Wu Liu and Wuqi, but he stopped a few feet away.
All the cultivators stared at the disabled City Lord of North Snow City and held their breath. Xie Wanting hadn’t fought for many years, but at this time he suddenly stepped forward and faced the demons alone, which was really admirable.
Xie Wanting looked at the two demons and said solemnly, “Put down the decree of the Leader of the Immortal Alliance, and I can spare your lives.”
Wu Liu and Wu Qi looked at each other and couldn’t help laughing out loud, “Although this cripple’s legs are broken, he can still talk big! Haha, it’s quite uncommon!”
All the cultivators looked displeased and in a moment there was the buzzing of discussions and soft curses.
“Damned devils, go back to the devil world!”
“F*** you! F*** you demons!”
“Get out! Get out now!”
Although the cultivators were extremely angry, as the person in charge, Xie Wanting’s self-restraint was really good. Although he was insulted by Wu Liu and Wu Qi’s words, he did not get angry, and just repeated word by word, ” I said, put down the decree of the Leader of the Immortal Alliance.”
“If you have the ability, you can get it yourself!” Wu Qi sneered, and then flicked his sleeves fiercely!
With a flick of his sleeves, on the huge limestone public square, there was a gust of monstrous wind on the ground. Xie Wanting’s ebony wheelchair tilted slightly, and was brought down by this demonic wind!
“City Lord Xie !” Someone couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice.
“Cough cough…” Xie Wanting was lying on the ground, seemingly choking on the dust, and coughed violently. While coughing, he wanted to get up in a very embarrassing way, but his legs had already been crippled. How could it be possible to get up?
“Tsk, this crippled man is really in over his head!” Wu Liu and Wu Qi smiled contemptuously and were about to leave.
“That decree of the Leader of the Immortal Alliance… cough, it’s fake…” Xie Wanting lay on the ground, coughing in a low voice, and said, “The real decree of the Leader of the Immortal Alliance is in…”
“What did you say?” Wu Liu and Wu Qi’s footsteps stopped, and then the two slowly turned around at the same time.
“The real decree of the Leader of the Immortal Dao Alliance is in Wuye Zhuhai in Lingzhou…” Xie Wanting’s voice became lower and lower.
Wu Liu and Wu Qi glanced at each other, and Wu Liu pondered, “Let’s hear what this crippled man has to say. If we get a fake decree of the Leader of the Immortal Alliance, we won’t be able to explain it.”
The two slowly took two steps forward and walked to Xie Wanting. Wu Qi hesitated for a while, then bent down slightly, “Cripple, you just said, where is the decree of the Leader of the Immortal Alliance in Wuye Zhuhai? Is there any evidence? If you dare lie to me, humph…”
It was too late and it was too fast, before Wu Qi’s voice fell, at this moment, he saw a pale golden shadow suddenly sweep out of Xie Wanting’s hand!
Zhi Ge!
This light golden sword energy was like a rainbow, sweeping across with earth-shattering energy. Wu Liu and Wu Qi were caught off guard, and they were about to be cut in half by this sword energy!
Just at this critical moment, “Boom!!!” With a loud bang, a huge blood-colored sword shadow fell straight down from the air, and even split the entire limestone public square into two halves! There was a huge ravine in the middle!
Xie Wanting was east of the ravine, Wu Liu and Wu Qi were west of the ravine; they were immediately separated! Xie Wanting’s sword energy naturally never hurt the two of them!
Before everyone was able to understand, Qiu Yutong was stunned. He had an innate sword body and was extremely sensitive to sword energy. He could clearly feel that the sword shadow just now was exactly Xiao Wu next to him. A phantom formed by condensing its own sword energy.
Qiu Yutong hesitated for a while, then slowly turned sideways and looked at Xiao Wu, who was expressionless, “That sword shadow just now, it was you…”
Xiao Wu interrupted him in a low voice, “Wait for me for a moment.”
Before Qiu Yutong could say anything, Xiao Wu had already slowly risen up, and in the eyes of everyone’s astonishment, he gently landed in front of Wu Liu and Wu Qi.
Xiao Wu looked down at these two terrifying demons with no expression on his face, he just said lightly, “Idiots.”
The cultivators stared at Xiao Wu, puzzled, “Who is this?” “It seems that he came with North Snow City…”
When Wu Liu and Wu Qi first saw Xiao Wu, their faces immediately showed joy and they knelt down hurriedly, “I am your subordinate Wu Liu, I thank the emperor for saving my life!”
“I am your subordinate Wu Qi, I thank the emperor for saving my life!”
Xiao Wu said coldly, “After you go back, get punished.”
The two said in unison, “Yes!”
When Xiao Wu, Wu Liu and Wu Qi were talking, they did not deliberately lower their voices. The cultivators heard it clearly, and there was an uproar immediately!
“It’s the Devil Emperor, it’s the Devil Emperor!”
“So he came a long time ago! He came with North Snow City!”
“What’s his relationship with North Snow City?!”
Amidst the noise of the crowd, Qiu Yutong looked at Xiao Wu from a distance, feeling confused.
What are they talking about? Isn’t Xiao Wu a rogue cultivator? But why did he save those two demons? Why did those two monsters kneel to him? Devil Emperor? What Devil Emperor? How could that be?
Just when Qiu Yutong was at a loss, Xiao Wu had turned around slowly, looked at Xie Wanting opposite the ravine, and then narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.
Xiao Wu… What did he want to do to Sect Leader?!
Qiu Yutong suddenly shuddered, it was almost too late to think. With an extremely light vertical jump, he stood in front of Xie Wanting! And Tianzhao Yunhai finally unsheathed, its foggy sky blue sword body, wrapped in the fierce sword wind, swept towards Xiao Wu!
Within this incomparably majestic sword wind, thousands of cultivators in the public square, almost like leaves in the strong wind, all swayed, unable to stand. Xiao Wu faced the sword wind at a very close distance, but he only took a step back; he turned and glanced at Qiu Yutong for a moment.
In this extremely cold sword wind, the sallow skin on Xiao Wu’s face actually appeared crisscrossed with tiny cracks. Then it suddenly cracked open and scattered into pieces!
A face that was extremely handsome, extremely familiar, but had a strange sense of unfamiliarity, was finally revealed from under the shattered human/skin/mask.
Qiu Yutong suddenly widened his eyes.
He stared dazedly at the handsome and tall man across from him, his mind was blank and he couldn’t think at all. At this moment, he even lost the ability to speak, he couldn’t even breathe, he couldn’t continue, and even his heartbeat stopped. Even his flow of blood seemed to have completely coagulated.
It was his most beloved little apprentice, the little apprentice he had raised for more than ten years, his smart and capable little apprentice, the little apprentice who was afraid of thunder, the little apprentice who knew how to make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, the little apprentice whom he scooped the devil core from, who had then sunk into the Cold Pool…
In this deadly silence, he didn’t know how long it took before Qiu Yutong said in a trembling voice, “…Xiao-er?”
Lu Xiao stared at him with dark and deep phoenix eyes, and said in a low, hoarse voice that was very soft, “Shizun, I’m back.”
