" In the darkness where the light cannot shine, it feels like a predatory beast, licking its claws.
When the long sword fell to the ground, Xuanqing howled and rushed forward, reaching out to catch those "lice" on the mountain:
"Godfather, I am here, Godfather! Come here, he is here, that little thief Yu Ci is here..."
The cry was comparable to that of a night owl flying in the night sky. He rushed forward, his fingers touched the blue light cloud, but passed straight through, and then lay forward. Before he landed, his neck felt cold. His field of vision suddenly changed to a strange angle and was painted with blood red.
Beside the campfire, the atmosphere has become abnormal since Xuan Qing and the monk left just now. Xuanqing's group and the herb collectors looked away from each other, and they didn't know what attitude to adopt towards their "companions" who had been with them for nearly two months.
It wasn't until half a quarter of an hour later that Yu Ci walked out of the surrounding darkness with slow and unhurried steps, carrying something in his hand.
When he entered the range of the fire, curious people cast their eyes over him, and then they seemed to have fallen into a biting ice cave
"Brother Xuan, Xuanqing...head?"
I don’t know who described that thing. There was silence next to the campfire, and then suddenly it exploded. At least seven or eight people screamed and desperately got up and ran away. Some people knelt down and begged for mercy. Some people remained in the original position with their eyes straight, confused and at a loss.
Whether they are running, kneeling, or in a daze, Yu Ci doesn't care about them all. He grabbed the hair knot of Xuan Qing's head and walked to the edge of the bonfire. He suddenly stood up without any warning. Wherever the strong wind started, the roar of the blazing fire spread, and the light in the valley instantly dimmed.
Everyone trembled. Then, they heard Yu Ci’s gentle voice:
"Let's all go, run farther away and find another place to camp. I'll use this place to entertain guests."
At this moment, a loud roar came from the hilltop on the south side of the valley: "Lu Ding and Si Long are here, little thief Yu Ci, please stop leaving!"
Amid the whistling sound, nine figures swooped down, and the birds in the forest flew into chaos.
Yu Ci remained motionless, but most of the herb collectors around him had lost the courage to run. Among Xuan Qing's group, Zheng Da, who had just sold his boss, originally had a chance to escape, but because he lost his head and ran in the wrong direction, he almost bumped into Yu Ci. As he staggered, he saw Xuan Qing again. The head, which was extremely ferocious due to fear and despair, immediately sat down and screamed:
"I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything... have mercy on me, have mercy on me!"
Yu Ci was too lazy to care about this kind of rubbish, and with a flick of his hand, he threw Xuanqing's head to the other side of the creek that passed through the valley, and rolled it just in front of the Bairi Mansion monks who were rushing down the mountain.
With a bang, Lu Ding kicked his godson's head into the mountain stream, but his forward momentum stopped there. He only looked at him with cold eyes. After a while, he said: "Is this Yu Ci?"
He asked the accompanying warrior behind him, and someone answered yes. I couldn't see clearly in the dark, but I guess he was also the personal guard who accompanied Jin Huan.
Lu Ding let out a laugh, then spoke to Yu Ci: "The little thief is quite clever, and he is able to catch you without hesitation. Let me take you to the mansion to let the master of the mansion deal with you, and maybe you will survive!"
Yu Ci has seen this person countless times in the Zhaoshentu, but this is the first time he has seen him in real life. I just feel that this person is ten times more annoying than the one in the picture, and I don't want to pay attention to him at all. However, if it were a slightly more capable guy next to him, he would not decide to take the risk to face the enemy head-on this time.
Move your eyes to Sloan next to Ludin.
The person who just screamed was this person, with a ferocious face that was hard to see at first sight. Yu Ci had also seen him twice in the Illuminating God Picture, and knew that he was powerful in martial arts. He was about thirty years old and was about to enter the middle level of spiritual communication. Be higher. It's just that this person is a little careless. Although his status in the palace is higher than Ludin's, when he really acts externally, he can only be a thug.
Anyway, this man is a formidable enemy.
Yu Ci turned his eyes again, scanning the warrior behind the two stewards. Judging by their attire, these warriors are all personal guards of the palace lord. These people are all at the level of Mingqiao, not far from the state of spiritual communication, and they have been practicing together all year round. Their tacit understanding is amazing. With the combined efforts of seven people, if their opponents are only at the elementary level of spiritual communication, they may not be able to kill them. With such a fighting power, even if the family has a big business in the daytime, there are only about fifty people, all of whom are top talents in the family.
He assessed the enemy's situation and completely threw Ludin aside. Manager Lu, who has always bullied the weak and feared the strong, thought he had an advantage. How could he bear this? He sighed and said simply: "If you don't drink a toast, you will be punished with a drink, let's do it!"
When the sound fell, he remained motionless, while Si Long and the accompanying warriors rushed forward and rushed across the mountain stream in the blink of an eye. The surrounding herb collectors finally found the feeling of escaping and dispersed with a bang, leaving only Yu Ci standing motionless in the center of the field, his gaze locked on Ludin without moving a bit.
Being stared at by Yu Ci, Lu Ding didn’t know why. He just felt cold in his heart. He unconsciously took a few steps back and took out his sword. Then he took a breath and shouted again: "Formation, life and death." Don’t talk about it! ”
Ludin believes that this is the safest move. At the moment he shouted, Yu Ci's figure fell down, and a half-moon arc light suddenly shone by the snow-covered mountain stream, dark red in color, and rushed towards the calves of Si Long and others. Its sharp edge was incomparable. Anyone who dared to provoke him would immediately dodge.
Si Longyi was so brave that he jumped up at the last moment and gently collided the body-protecting Qi and the sword Qi to test their depth. Amidst the hissing sound, he was suddenly startled. An extremely familiar burning sensation came up from the soles of his feet. It was like warm water at first, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into red-hot molten iron and poured straight in. Wherever the sword light passed, the snow on the bank of the stream melted away, leaving no trace.
"Nine Yang...no, Pure Yang Talisman Sword!"
Amidst the angry screams, Si Long rolled over in an extremely embarrassed manner and bounced far away.
No less domineering than the Jiuyang Talisman Sword, the Pure Yang Talisman Sword has been banned at a high level, and the evil energy in the sword is condensed and does not disperse. It is inconspicuous at first glance, but its damage is at least 50% stronger than the former. Si Long understood this very well. When he fell into the distance, he had time to turn the fire energy into his body. Without the constraints of the spiritual cultivator, Yu Ci let out a low roar, and his figure rose up, using the Pure Yang Talisman Sword. He stabbed in the void one after another, attacking seven warriors almost at the same time.
All the warriors are the elites of the Bairi Mansion, and they are very determined and incomparable. Since Ludin ordered the formation, he didn't care about other things. Even if Sloan was knocked back with a sword, it couldn't disturb their will. They dispersed and reunited in an instant, adjusted their positions, and formed a rough formation in just one breath. The arc of the sword in his hand buzzed and trembled, echoing each other, and the center point of their convergence was locked on Yu Ci.
At this moment, the light of the Pure Yang Talisman Sword in Yu Ci's hand was distorted and blurred, almost causing everyone's gaze to be distorted.
No matter how well-trained the warriors were, they could not help but lose consciousness at this moment. When they reacted, they saw that Yu Ci's body and sword had merged into one, and they had already reached the top of the arc where they formed their formation. There, there are three people blocking it!
The two swords clashed, and a "clang" sound was heard. The talisman sword in Yu Ci's hand condensed into fire and turned into a blade. With one blow, the long sword of the warrior in charge was shaken out of the middle palace. At this time, the sword energy of the warriors on both sides also penetrated from his sides. Although the warrior in charge had the middle door wide open, he did not dodge. If he can't avoid it, as long as he can block Yu Ci for a moment and the sword energy from all directions gathers, he will die, and the winner will definitely be his side.
"Good!" Ludin could see clearly from behind and exclaimed. This time, it was a clever move to bring the Palace Lord's personal guards to the Sky Rift Valley. If it had been anyone else, even if the other managers in the Palace were here, they would not have won so neatly.
However, the next moment, he saw the blood mist splattering in all directions, and Yu Ci's cold eyes behind the blood mist.
No one knows what happened in the previous moment. The two stewards and the remaining warriors present only saw that the three people standing in front of Yu Ci were covered in blood. A large amount of blood mist spurted out and fell like a log. However, Yu Ci broke through the blood mist without any pause. , wielding a sword to kill Steward Ding, who was standing motionless on the other side of the mountain stream.
In terms of pure cultivation, Ludin is better than any of his personal guards, but in terms of determination and courage, he has been dealing with chores in the house and has long lost the momentum of his bravery and diligence. When he saw Yu Ci coming to kill him with a sword covered in blood, , his first reaction was not to wave his sword to resist, but to yell and step back, seven or eight steps in a row. Seeing that no one could come over, he waved his sword randomly again, trying to block Yu Ci's ghost Mo Mo. Test the swordsmanship.
In an instant, Yu Ci pounced, the dark red sword light flashed, and the sound of clanking became one. A miracle happened. Ludin's scattered sword screen actually blocked most of the sword energy. The occasional sword energy that missed it did not hit the critical point. He actually survived... No, it blocked Yu Ci's feet. Two breaths of time, and this period of time is enough for Si Long and his guards to return to support and form a three-sided attack!
The first one to rush over was Si Long. As a powerful figure in Bai Ri Mansion, how many years has it been since he suffered such a loss? In shame and anger, he immediately used all his strength to catch up after melting the fire energy in his body. Taking advantage of Ludin's opportunity to block the opponent, he launched with all his strength.
Si Long is one of the five chief officials in the mansion who received the Taixuan Jiyang Technique from Jin Huan himself. If he were not good at calculations, his status would be more than this. But due to his personality, his cultivation improved very quickly. In terms of qualifications, he was far behind Ludin, but in terms of cultivation, it was the other way around.
At this time, he activated it with all his strength, and it was like a sun lit up in front of everyone's eyes. The skin-burning heat wave came over, and the coolness in the mountains at the end of autumn disappeared in an instant. Wherever the light passed, not to mention the snow on the banks of the stream, even the cold stream was about to boil. There was even more steaming fire poison that rushed into the five senses and seven orifices, making them so stuffy that they couldn't think straight. Some of the herb collectors who hadn't run far fell down and couldn't get up again.
When Naludin saw the heat wave coming towards his face and knew that his companions were coming to help, his morale was greatly shaken. He screamed and shouted violently, and actually used a sharp sword to block Yu Ci at the outside like a violent storm. Until Si Long, carrying the billowing heat, got ahead of the warriors and pursued them.
Silong formed a seal with his hands from a distance of five feet. This was the distance where he could best utilize the power of Taixuan Jiyang.
When the hands were printed, the roaring heat wave almost condensed into a substantial glow, sweeping across. Yu Ci still had his back turned to him and was unaware of it, but Lu Ding saw it clearly. Seeing the momentum, he was immediately frightened. This method of "burning clouds", regardless of whether it is an enemy or a friend, might be able to get rid of the entangled people. The two people who were together were burned to ashes!
He felt timid and immediately drew his sword and retreated. He still had the upper hand at this time, so it was easy for him to retreat. Yu Ci seemed to be affected by the attack from behind, so he did not struggle, but turned his head back.
