Thunder exploded on Qifeng Lake.
The old fox controlled the body of the witch master and disappeared in an instant.
The figure of the woman in white turned into a rainbow and was intercepted in the air. The friction of swords and claws sounded violently, causing a long string of dazzling sparks in the air.
The woman's figure stagnated for a moment, and the long sword danced around her figure. Silver light surged and shimmered, blocking the evil spirits that invaded from all directions.
The 'Witch Lord' paused in the air, standing in front of him, but the aura of his body had completely changed. The eyes that were originally white as dead fish were now dark, like two whirlpools in the abyss. As long as you take one more look, you will see Fallen into it.
The woman in white clung to her sword and tried to avoid looking at the old man.
She could feel that the old fox in front of her was already much stronger than before.
The words of the old fox earlier caused great waves in her heart. She knew what the five realms meant, and she dared not even think about the three realms above them.
But the other party actually said it so lightly.
She must escape, report the matter to the sect and let the master know, otherwise when he fully recovers, the entire Nanzhou will fall into catastrophe.
The old fox looked at her and smiled: "Actually, at the beginning, if you had used your sword with all your strength, you would have had a chance to hit me hard. Unfortunately, you were timid from the beginning to the end. You were thinking of an escape route with every sword move. It was not easy for you to step out. On the road to immortality, you can't bear to sacrifice yourself on such a trivial matter as slaying demons?"
The woman in white thought for a moment. She believed what he said, and she felt a trace of regret in her heart.
In this short moment, she suddenly felt that a dark seed spread rapidly in her heart, trying to occupy her mind.
Demonic infestation
She felt something was wrong. Just for a moment, the other party could easily find a loophole to invade. What kind of terrifying realm was this
The woman did not dare to think too much. She immediately put the sword in front of her and flicked the sword with her fingers. There was a clang of the sword, cold and clear, as if to pull her out of the turbid state of mind.
"How long have you been practicing Taoism, little girl? Is your sword heart so weak?" the old fox asked with a smile.
The woman in white knew she had to guard her heart, but the old fox's words seemed to have a magical power, and she couldn't help but answer in her heart.
The old fox sneered: "It turns out that she is just a little girl in her twenties, and I am a bit bullying the younger generation."
Having said that, he pointed his finger, and a white rainbow fell from the sky.
It was the same method as the woman in white before, but it was more straightforward, and the sword intention contained in it was actually purer than what the woman used!
The white rainbow fell, and the woman's reaction was half a beat slower due to the pollution of the sword's heart. She turned sideways to avoid it, but the rainbow still hit her shoulder. With a bang, she let out a miserable groan, and the clothes on her arms were torn, and her body fell, hitting the lake. .
The woman in white had no time to care about her injuries. She bit the tip of her tongue to resist the infection of the demonic seed. She also had the determination in her heart to simply take advantage of the situation and sink to the bottom of the lake, and then the water covered her to escape.
The moment this thought appeared, the lake suddenly turned into solid ice, and with a muffled sound, she hit the ice hard.
The old fox appeared again and punched her in the abdomen. The woman spurted blood and pierced the ice with the tip of her sword. She tried to stabilize her body, but she still slipped dozens of feet.
The sound of sword clanging is endless, like weeping and complaining.
The old fox also made a few empty strokes in the air with his fingers together, and said to himself: "Is this the essence of your sect's sword intention?"
The woman in white was trembling. Although the strokes in his hand were not all correct, the meaning of the swordsmanship displayed was still the same.
She knew that any of her thoughts at this moment might be used as a loophole, but at this moment, the demon seed was invading her, and she couldn't stop what she was thinking.
Then she felt a fire light up in her heart.
She leaned over and took a look, and found that wherever there was solid ice under her feet, there were actually blazing flames.
The old fox looked at her with a half-smile, "Before I die, I will let you see a real sword to see how much you understand."
The old fox crossed his fingers from left to right in front of him.
The fingertips seemed to have electric light twisting and splashing, entangled into a straight and white line.
"go."
He whispered a word, flipped his wrist, and the virtual sword slashed with his fingers, flying down into the air.
The woman in white was horrified. The virtual sword came through the air. It seemed to be so fast that it could chop everything, and it seemed so slow that she could clearly see every wave of texture in it. When she couldn't help but look at the sword, she felt A sword also sprouted out of her. The sword came from the depths of her consciousness. If someone struck with a knife, it would pierce and cut her heart from the inside out.
It was a kind of intense fear and absurdity.
She couldn't even tell whether the sword was struck by the old fox or whether he drew the sword and struck at herself.
The old fox stopped looking at her, turned around and walked towards the imperial city.
Then, he let out a light sigh and looked back.
The woman in white raised her sword at some point, and her sword clothes were cut all over, with blood oozing out from them. However, the face hidden by the pure white mask was extremely calm.
In the moment of life and death, her thoughts became empty. The sword transformed from the demonic seed in her heart failed to cut through her Taoist heart. However, she used it to break through the mental barriers of many years and entered an ethereal world. The mystery lies.
The woman suddenly opened her eyes: "Thank you, senior, for your advice."
She moved her fingers together in front of her body, from right to left, in opposite directions, but in a sense they were exactly the same.
The old fox frowned slightly.
When the sword light rose, all the glacial fireworks disappeared, white mist surrounded the area, and the line between the fingers seemed to be pushed flat by the tide.
The old fox's body floated backwards, his fingertips touched down, lightly when he raised his hand, and quickly when he lowered his finger. However, the sword was too precise, and he was chopped into pieces by the sword every time he formed a spell.
Crisp cracking sounds sounded from time to time.
The woman stood up unsteadily, her sword clothes were torn and half stained with blood, and her pure white mask also had many gaps, revealing the soft curves of her cheeks.
Snap, snap, snap.
Under the power of this sword, the gap was finally cut through the territory formed by the old fox.
The autumn rain finally fell into the lake again.
The old fox clamped the edge of the sword between his two fingers and retreated. At the same time, the surrounding ice, autumn rain, and fireworks were absorbed into his body. He wanted to use the power of heaven and earth to absorb this sword. The sword was completely shattered.
At that moment, the woman in white's eyes were brighter than ever.
She let out a clear whistle.
The old fox finally changed his expression.
The icy water, rain, and illusory fireworks were all tainted with the faint sword intent at that moment, and it felt like a knife cutting against the skin.
"Sword and spirit are one body?" The old fox's voice was slightly hoarse, and he was obviously suffering a lot of pain.
This was her last trump card. Under her divine will, everything in the world became swords, and the old fox's use of the power of heaven and earth actually became like drawing a sword to kill himself.
The sword hovering beside him broke through the air.
The old fox blocked subconsciously.
But the sword passed by his side.
The woman in white did not pursue the victory, but after cutting through his territory, she fled towards the imperial city.
The old fox suppressed the pain that felt like thousands of swords weighing on his body, and chased after him.
A virtual sword stronger than before was slashed out from his side.
The sword hit the woman's back, and the blood spurted out like an arrow. The woman forced herself to stay conscious, resisting the paralysis caused by the serious injury to her back, and fell towards the city.
The old fox ignored the swords of all things that were slashing at him, and his silhouette was like a rainbow.
With almost a slight difference, the woman in white entered the city first.
The old fox slammed into the city wall, but was forcefully shaken away.
He suddenly remembered that he had swallowed the ancient scroll that represented the fate of a city. Anyone could break this imperial city at this moment, but he could not break it. If he forced the city to break, the backlash he would suffer would be a hundred times more severe. times.
He stopped at the city gate and looked at the place where the woman in white disappeared. Not only did he not feel angry, he couldn't help but laugh: "This is interesting."
"Great Immortal, Great Immortal, Great Immortal."
The old fox heard the sound of wings flapping behind him and looked back.
I saw a bird the size of a small eagle, holding an ancient umbrella in its mouth, flapping its wings and struggling to stay in the air, calling to itself with its heart.
The old fox frowned. He naturally recognized this umbrella, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to get.
"Zhao Xianger asked you to give it to me?"
The little scarlet falcon said repeatedly: "His Highness asked me to hand it over to the Great Immortal."
As soon as the old fox raised his hand, the umbrella flew in front of him. He checked it with his demonic power and made sure there was nothing unusual before swallowing the umbrella whole.
Another lock was broken in the underground palace, and the three souls returned to one. Behind the old fox, three illusory giant tails faintly emerged.
"This umbrella actually represents the people of Zhao country?" After the old fox swallowed the umbrella, he found that there was no barrier between the imperial city and himself, as if he was a Zhao person who had lived here for a long time.
But now, even if he kills the most ordinary person in the Zhao Kingdom, he will suffer backlash, because this umbrella protects the people of the Zhao Kingdom.
"Don't destroy the city, don't kill people?" The old fox said with a smile: "The little girl is very calculating, does she really want to become a saint?"
But these are only temporary. Once he completely refines these city protection treasures, these restrictions will no longer exist.
The old fox's mind moved slightly, he looked at the demon bird and asked: "Are you the demon bird from Zhao country?"
Lord Hongyu felt an extremely deadly killing intent in the old fox's smile, and he quickly said: "I have lived with His Highness in the State of Zhao for decades, so naturally I can be regarded as the carrier pigeon of the State of Zhao. Besides, His Highness has promised Me, you won’t kill me if you see me.”
"Oh?" The old fox glanced at it again, and the color in his eyes suddenly deepened. After a moment, he chuckled: "That's it. Back then, I fought with that immortal in Nanzhou, and the blood was spread all over the fields, and the monsters that drank from it There are many, and basically no one can survive. If you can survive to this day, you can be regarded as my disciple, and I will not kill you."
Lord Hongyu understood immediately, and his heart trembled, "So what I drank back then was the blood of my seniors?"
The old fox demon nodded lightly, pointed at it, and then walked towards the city, saying: "Although I won't kill you, as my disciple, you will never live under the shelter of others again and live like this. .”
Lord Hongyu felt that the restraint like a tarsal maggot had disappeared. He was ecstatic in his heart and prostrated on the ground, his body trembling with excitement: "The younger generation will only follow the lead of the elders."
…
…
Storm comes into town.
In a deserted narrow alley, a faint shadow suddenly appeared on the wall, and a very thin sword shadow came through the rain. The woman in white stumbled and fell to the ground. She slightly opened her mask, and there was a lot of blood in the water on the ground. Spread out quickly.
The sword was already at the end of its strength, and fell beside him as if it had lost all its spiritual energy.
The woman struggled to put her fingers on the hilt of the sword, and the rain soaked her sword clothes all over. The injuries were still there, and the flesh and blood torn apart by the evil spirit could be seen vaguely on the broken clothes and sword.
Every drop of autumn rain hit her back like a drum, bit by bit, knocking her body, which she had finally struggled up, back to the ground.
The woman lay on the ground, coughing non-stop. She held the hilt of the sword with all her strength to prop up her body.
Fortunately, the fox demon was not able to enter the city immediately to pursue him.
She took a few breaths of Qi and wanted to go back to the blue and white sedan to rest, but suddenly she found that her connection with the blue and white sedan was cut off by something.
"Did something happen in the palace?"
As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, she coughed up another mouthful of blood. The suppressed internal injuries in her body exploded one after another. Her internal organs seemed to have been cut with small knives. The pain caused her limbs to twitch and she was unable to perform many basic movements. It's hard to maintain.
The woman didn't take a few steps and fell to the ground again.
The bells in the imperial city rang.
She felt a sense of vigilance in her sword heart again, and she knew that this meant that the old fox had entered the city.
She was unable to conceal her aura at the moment, and it wouldn't be long before she was found.
Now that the connection with the blue and white sedan chair has been cut off, it is difficult to return to the palace. Where can she go in such a strange imperial city
Suddenly there was the sound of soldiers marching in formation behind them.
She forced herself to stand up with her last breath, held on to the wall, and walked forward with difficulty.
After passing the corner, the soldier's voice came over: "There are blood stains here. It may be that the rebels have escaped. Search."
"Your Majesty is still alive and well. Isn't it too chilling that we have done such a great job?"
"His Royal Highness is sitting in the palace now. As long as she wants to sit, no one can drive her away. More than twenty days ago, we went to besiege the palace together. This is a capital crime of genocide. We can make up for it now if we can. If Your Highness is merciful, maybe we can protect the family and the children."
"They used to be our colleagues! Do you really want to kill them?"
"Hey, who would want to kill each other unless they have no choice? I don't know when it will end. This country will be dead."
"Shh... don't say this nonsense."
The woman in white leaned against the wall, listening to the faint sounds coming from them, and was unable to discern what surprise had happened in the palace.
She subconsciously walked along the wall.
The footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer, the blood she dripped was diluted and washed away by the heavy rain, and the only fire in her body was extinguished by the cold rain.
Not sure if it was an illusion, she suddenly saw that the courtyard door in front seemed to be open.
Without thinking any more, she dragged her seriously injured body and crashed into the yard.
…
In the room, Ning Xiaoling held her chin and listened to her senior brother telling several boring stories. If it weren't for the unusual noises coming from outside, Ning Xiaoling would have fallen asleep long ago.
Now, the senior brother begins to tell the story of a rescued fox demon who transformed into a human form to repay his kindness.
Ning Xiaoling put her index finger on her palm and interrupted: "Brother, how do you tell such a boring story with such relish?"
Ning Jiujiu was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "These are my favorite stories... Are they really that boring?"
Ning Xiaoling nodded seriously: "It's very cliche. Besides, foxes are ungrateful people. How can they repay a favor? It would be considered kind if they didn't steal the scholar's money."
Ning Jiujiu smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Then let me tell you a story about a poor young man whose fiancée broke off his engagement."
Ning Xiaoling's nose wrinkled, she covered her ears, and said, "I don't want to hear anything right now. There's thunder and explosions outside. I'm so scared... Could it be that the monster underground that the senior brother said has escaped?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "If this is the case, we can only pray that he will not come to our door."
Ning Xiaoling nodded and comforted herself: "Although we are Taoist priests, we only helped the master in the past in a pretentious manner. We should not have any enemies. There is no grievance or enmity, unless the monster is murderous. Otherwise, It should be fine. By the way, senior brother, remember to close the courtyard door... "
boom!
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden crash outside the door.
That was the sound of someone banging on the door.
The two looked at each other.
Ning was silent for a long time and said, "Go and take a look?"
Ning Xiaoling picked up the umbrella beside her and threw it to him, with an expression of despair.
