Xu Mingshan only felt that his originally clear mind suddenly shook as a heart-wrenching pain instantly caused his soul to tremble and his mind to go blank!"No!"
This was the last cry Xu Mingshan made to the world before he lost consciousness!
"Swish!"Under the high-speed rotation of the giant axe, the Yellow Cloud Realm expert"s protective profound light was like paper, crushing everything in its path. From head to toe, the axe split into two!
In a split-second, blood energy filled the canyon as his internal organs flowed all over the floor. Everyone was dumbstruck as they stared at the black battle axe rooted in the pool of blood!
Within the gorge, there was dead silence …Everyone"s hearts were filled with shock and amazement. A Yellow Cloud expert was actually split into two halves with just a single axe strike. Just how powerful was this? They swore to themselves that they had never seen such a shocking and bizarre scene before!
A low and hoa.r.s.e voice came from the sky above everyone"s heads. It was a voice without any origin, as if it had come from above the heavens!
"Good and evil will always be rewarded, and the Heavenly Dao will be reincarnated. If you do not believe me, look up.Word by word, it was like a heavy hammer that struck at the hearts of everyone, especially those bandits who were like a swarm of bees. They had committed heinous crimes and wantonly slaughtered people"s lives on the Second King"s Mountain; they naturally felt guilty in their hearts.
In the next moment, everyone saw a figure shrouded in black robes descend from the sky. He held a dark blue sword in his hand, and the sword light was like a blue sea and blue sky. He gently landed on the ground, and a fierce wind blew under his feet!
The wind suddenly blew and wrinkled the pool of spring water. The figure shrouded in black robes was one such gust of wind. He and his sword were one and the same, the sword and the wind perfectly blended together.
The crowd could not see his figure, only the blue wind and the red blood that splattered everywhere within the canyon. It was seductive and beautiful, as if it was a beautiful watercolor painting …
As Xiao Ling"Er looked at this scene, her expression gradually became silly. Xiao Ding and all of the Xiao family"s guards widened their eyes. It was as though they wanted to carve this miraculous scene into their minds forever!The moment the sound of wind stopped, the headless body of the final bandit powerlessly drooped. That black figure rode the canyon"s fishy wind and pervading mist as it gradually moved further and further away …
"Wait a moment!"Just as he was about to walk out of the canyon, a gentle voice came from behind him.
The man in black stopped."What"s your name?" Xiao Ling"Er looked at the figure with a dazed expression and asked with a voice that sounded like she was mumbling.
The man in black turned around. Beneath the black cloth were a pair of eyes that were as deep and bright as the starry sky. She didn"t know if it was Xiao Ling"Er"s imagination, but she could see a hint of mockery and amus.e.m.e.nt in his eyes.She still wanted to say something, but in the next instant, that person"s figure turned into a breeze, disappearing from the end of the valley. Under the moonlight, in the middle of the scarlet valley, everyone"s expressions were blurry and lifeless, as if they were all in a dream.
Xiao Ling"Er walked out of the big formation and stood at the end of the canyon for a long time. She didn"t look away. It was as if her heart had left with that figure.
This strange silence was finally broken a moment later!
On the other side of the ravine, the battered Xiang Yun was panting heavily as he ran in the direction of the group. As he ran, Xiang Yun was shouting and screaming in great fear!
"Aiya, so many corpses, so much blood, what actually happened? Heavens!""Oh, that"s too scary!"
Xiang Yun seemed to have been scared out of his wits as he stumbled into the carriage, breaking the silence.
Everyone turned to look at Xiang Yun in astonishment, only to see him pale-faced and sweating profusely. It was unknown if he had been frightened by the tragic state of this gorge.Xiao Ling also turned around and saw Xiang Yun. She immediately flew to Xiang Yun"s side and brandished the longsword in her hand, pressing it against his neck.
"Where did you go?" Xiao Ling"Er"s eyes were cold and her tone was cold."Aiyo, big miss, what are you doing?"
"Where did you go?" Xiao Ling"Er repeated her question.
"I … I"m going to the toilet!" Xiang Yun said with an innocent expression.
"Hmph, you think you can do it like this when you go to the toilet?" Xiao Ling"Er looked at Xiang Yun, whose face was pale and covered in sweat, whose entire body was covered in dirt. Xiao Ling"Er looked at Xiang Yun, whose face was pale and covered in sweat, whose entire body was covered with dirt and grime.
At this moment, Xiang Yun wanted to cry, but there were no tears. In his heart, he wanted to viciously spank this little girl"s b.u.t.t.I have wasted a great deal of f * cking strength, and killed that pair of thieves, and then helped you guys kill Xu Mingshan and that Mountain Bandits. In one breath, I ran to the end of the canyon, and then ran halfway up the mountain before returning back to look for you.
However, looking at Xiao Ling"er"s longsword, Xiang Yun did not dare to act rashly.
At this moment, he was completely exhausted, not even a trace of cloud energy could be found. Just now, in order to kill Ba Tongtian and Madam Jade, Xiang Yun had used up a large amount of cloud energy. After a ma.s.sacre in the canyon, all of the cloud energy had been used up and he no longer had any fighting strength left.
Aside from the consumption of Yun Li"s spirit energy, Xiang Yun"s consumption this time was even greater. In his battle against Ba Tongtian couple, it had become extremely dangerous.
This was especially true for that Madam Jade, who had obtained many strange talismans from G.o.d knows where and had used them many times during the battle. Xiang Yun had almost been killed by the two of them on several occasions, and even his chest, which was located an inch from his heart, had been pierced by Madam Jade"s short blade.However, there was a great opportunity between life and death, and it was precisely because of this enormous life-threatening pressure that caused Xiang Yun to boldly attempt to form the Illusionary G.o.d Cone in battle. He had actually succeeded in one go!
By relying on the Illusionary G.o.d Cone"s ability to kill people without anyone noticing, Xiang Yun had ambushed Ba Tongtian and his wife at a critical moment, causing them to temporarily lose consciousness. It was just a single breath of absent-mindedness, but they were destined never to wake up again.
At the same time, Xu Mingshan, a dignified early Huang Yun, had been hacked to death by Xiang Yun"s axe. It was also because as Xiang Yun was launching his attack, he had secretly used the Illusionary G.o.d"s Cone to attack Xu Mingshan"s soul.
However, although the Illusionary G.o.d"s Awl was powerful, it consumed a great deal of soul consciousness. The continuous usage of the Illusionary G.o.d"s Awl caused Xiang Yun"s mind to be overwhelmed and he felt dizzy.
At this moment, he had to face the murderous Xiao Ling"Er.
Xiang Yun did not want to reveal his ident.i.ty, nor did he want to cause trouble for no reason. He could only explain with a tearful face.
"Miss Xiao, I was at the edge of the canyon just now, and it was convenient for me to do that. Who knew that the sound of fighting coming from the canyon suddenly shook the sky, and I was quite frightened. I slipped and accidentally rolled into a pit, and it took me a lot of effort to crawl out, but I just rushed over here, and I didn"t expect it to be like this."Xiao Ling"Er once again looked at Xiang Yun suspiciously. She was not satisfied with Xiang Yun"s explanation.
"My Lady Xiao, you won"t suspect that I"m their spy right? If I really have a problem, why would I run back here right now? Aren"t you just walking into a trap?"
"Ling"er, this has nothing to do with Brother Wei. Put away your sword." At this time, Xiao Ding, supported by two Xiao Clan guards, walked over.
Seeing Xiao Ding"s pale face and the b.l.o.o.d.y wound on his shoulder, Xiao Ling"Er"s heart tightened. She immediately withdrew her sword and waited for Xiang Yun to snort coldly, "Hmph, I"ll believe you for now!"
After that, the group began to tidy up. First, they treated the injuries of the wounded, and then they gathered the corpses of the dead to bury them.This time around, the Xiao Clan guards" losses were not small. Out of a total of fifty-seven guards, twenty of them had died and more than half of them had been injured. However, the goods of the convoy hadn"t been lost in the slightest.
After arranging the carriages, Xiao Ding suggested that they leave immediately and find a relay station to rest at. Xiao Ling"Er, on the other hand, suggested that they bring people up the mountain to find a nest and retrieve the goods they had lost the previous three times.
In the end, Xiao Ling`er persuaded Xiao Ding to stay with the company while they waited for a group of people at the same place. Xiao Ling"Er brought some people up the mountain and found the nest of a swarm of bees.
The few bandits on the mountain had already packed their luggage and scattered their belongings. They had wanted to bring more belongings. However, when they saw Xiao Ling"Er and her people rush into the mountain stronghold, these bandits became frightened and immediately fled down the mountain.After killing a few bandits, Xiao Ling"Er easily entered the mountain stronghold and rescued a large number of women. At the same time, she found a bunch of gold in the stronghold.
With the saved women, the goods of the Xiao family, and the treasures of the bandits, Xiao Ling"Er rushed down the canyon to meet up with the caravans. She even brought many carriages that had been captured by the bandits in a forest at the foot of the mountain.
Throughout the entire process, Xiang Yun had remained behind in the caravan, secretly recovering his cloud energy.
When Xiao Ling"Er returned, everyone started their journey again. Although there were a lot of women, because they had obtained a lot of carriages and the number of guards had decreased, the carriages were actually more plentiful.
It was possible for everyone to ride a horse or sit in a carriage, saving them a lot of trouble. This was especially true for Xiang Yun, who had boarded a horse carriage with several guards and was able to recover all of his Yun and spiritual will along the way.
After getting on the horse carriage, Xiang Yun looked to his side and saw that they were all guards he had known and conversed with back then.
One of them was Elder Chen. This fellow was over thirty years old, and looked extremely simple and honest. At the moment, he was wrapping a piece of gauze around his injured arm, wrapping it around his mouth while using his other hand to bandage it.
However, Old Chen pushed away Xiang Yun"s hand, refusing his good intentions and looking coldly at Xiang Yun instead. The others in the carriage all did the same, refusing without hesitation to help Xiang Yun. His face was similarly indifferent, no longer giving in to his previous enthusiasm, only indifference.
In this battle of life and death, everyone had risked their lives to survive, yet they had lost many of their brothers who had risked their lives and risked their lives. This caused Old Chen and the others to feel sorrowful in their hearts.
Xiang Yun could only bitterly smile, not giving much of an explanation. Even if it were not for him tonight, these people would not even have the qualifications to survive, but there was no need for him to explain.
Leaning against the carriage, Xiang Yun circulated his Turtle-Breath Technique and began recovering his spiritual will and Yun Li, allowing the carriage to continue onward.
