Especially this woman holding an exquisite round fan is even more extraordinary.
It should be noted that when the fire first started, Wu Shun thought that there must be a lot of people rescuing them. When they were rescued, they found that there were only four people on the other side, and the one who set the fire was just this woman.
Wushan was shrouded in clouds and fog, and the humidity was extremely high. Moreover, at this time of year, even if there were more people, it might not be possible to burn the forest.
This woman set the fire easily by herself, and the fire spread very quickly. Soon it spread out and blocked the pursuers behind.
Not to mention a low-level warrior, even a sixth-rank master would not be able to achieve such a level.
After thinking this through, Wu Shun became even more respectful, bowed his hands, and asked, "Four of you who are not from the Wuxia area, are you here at this time also because of the climate change here?"
Shi Hao shook his head and said, "To be honest, we didn't know what happened here before we came here. We just came here to find a few companions."
Wu Shun asked, "What kind of person are you looking for? Perhaps we can help."
Shi Hao said: "There is a young girl with a sword on her waist. An old man, thin and hunched. A woman with messy hair..."
Before he finished speaking, these people started talking.
"Mountain Tiger" Ding San asked from the side: "Is there another girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, pretty and lively, but very cold and arrogant?"
Shi Hao was surprised and asked, "Have you seen it?"
Ding San said, "We saw them almost yesterday at Shengquan Peak. They seemed to be heading to Feifeng Peak or Shennv Peak, but the little girl didn't want to go with us. Although she was young, for some reason, the other three called her senior and listened to her in everything."
Shi Hao was stunned: "You mean, the other three people called the youngest girl 'senior'?"
Wu Shun also nodded and said, "That's exactly what happened! I also thought it was very strange at the time, but there are always many strange people in the world. Although we thought it was strange, we didn't ask too many questions. And that girl did look very unusual. Before they left, I saw that girl looking at the thunderclouds in the sky, and her eyes seemed to be able to shoot lightning."
"Although I am only a seventh-rank martial artist and my martial arts skills are rudimentary, I know that this is something that only extremely powerful masters can do."
Shi Hao was surprised and felt it was even more strange. He didn't know what Yue Jiao, Hou Boming, Xianggu and the others were doing following that mysterious girl to Wu Gorge
Sha Lingshan asked, "There seem to be quite a few warriors wearing purple clothes. It is impossible for such a group of people to appear out of nowhere. Do you have any clues?"
The men looked at each other. "Mountain Tiger" Ding San said, "Speaking of which, there were indeed many mountain people in the Wuxia area in the past. These mountain people all lived deep in the mountains, rarely interacting with the outside world. Occasionally, some people would take some animal skins and mountain delicacies to the town outside the mountains to exchange for daily necessities."
"Although I have seen them many times before, I always thought they were just ordinary mountain dwellers. After all, in such high mountains, there are indeed many mountain dwellers who gather in the mountains and form tribes, but do not contact the outside world. In Lingnan and Shu, there are many such mountain dwellers. It is also normal to see them in the Wuxia area."
"But I just saw a man who seemed to be one of those mountain people who had been to the town before, but I never knew he knew martial arts."
Shi Hao thought for a moment and said, "We plan to go to Feifeng Peak and take a look at the Book-giving Platform on the west side of Feifeng Peak. We originally planned to go there by boat, but we were attacked on the river. Now that we have entered the forest, it is difficult to tell the direction and we don't know where to go. I wonder if you can help lead the way?"
Ding San said quickly, "Don't worry, we are very familiar with the Wu Gorge area. Even if we are in the mountains, we can determine the direction by the shapes of the surrounding peaks. Just leave the leading to us."
Several people in their group were also injured.
At that moment, the others evacuated temporarily, leaving only Wu Shun, Ding San and Zhao Li to lead the way for them.
—
Originally, Wu Shun and his group didn't know what was going on. Thinking that there was strength in numbers, they gathered many warriors, hunters, etc. from the surrounding area and went up the mountain together, but they were attacked.
There were only a few of them now. The mountain roads in the Wu Gorge area were rugged and they deliberately avoided those purple-clothed warriors, which made it less likely for them to be discovered.
Just thinking back, on the way up the mountain, they did nothing and were inexplicably attacked, with most of them killed or injured. Wu Shun, Ding San and Zhao Li were all heartbroken.
Then they thought again, with such a sudden change, no one knew what would happen next. They were all from the local village in Wuxia, and their family, relatives, friends and clansmen were all here, which made them even more worried.
There is chaos everywhere now. Outside of Wu Gorge, countless families have been broken up or even entire clans wiped out for various reasons.
Their villages were all located between high mountains and steep cliffs, and they thought they could maintain peace for a while. However, they did not expect that in five days it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival, when they could have a good day to reunite with their family, but they did not expect to encounter such changes.
"Stop!" Ding San heard the handsome young man suddenly speak in the dim forest.
The voice was low but powerful. Although he tried to keep the volume down as much as possible, it still carried an unquestionable spirit.
Ding San and others stopped quickly. After a while, they heard a rapid sound of breaking through the air coming from the forest ahead.
Wu Shun, Ding San, Zhao Li and others hid behind the trees and looked quietly. In the dim light, they indeed saw more than a dozen purple-clothed warriors flying past in the distance outside the forest.
Those people were flying and looking around, obviously observing whether there were any intruders outside.
Ding San couldn't help but look at the young man... Those warriors in purple tight clothes were actually hiding carefully, so the sound of breaking through the air was very low, and they could only hear it when they were close.
There were many rocks and trees around, and thunderclouds were rolling in the sky, making it dark. It should have been difficult to spot those people in advance, just as it was difficult for those people to spot them in advance.
Fortunately, the young man had foresight and warned in advance, otherwise the two sides would have collided with each other.
This also made "Mountain Tiger" Ding San secretly surprised at the young man's sharpness.
They waited until the purple-robed warriors left before continuing on their way.
Along the way, they were very careful and managed to avoid several waves of troops.
"How many people are there?" Zhao Li couldn't help but ask.
You know, there are mountains and forests here, but these people can still patrol so densely.
If they deploy troops everywhere to patrol the surrounding areas, the total number of people will definitely not be small.
In this way, they sneaked all the way to the west side of Feifeng Peak.
Looking up towards Feifeng Peak, there is a cliff on the mountainside and the terrain is relatively flat.
If you look toward the north bank from a high place, you can see a high peak across the mighty river. On the top of the peak there is a huge rock, which looks like a graceful girl.
That is the Goddess Peak.
Of course, generally speaking, the boulder that looks like a girl is too high and is hidden in the clouds that linger in Wu Gorge all year round. It appears and disappears, which makes it look even more mysterious and charming.
But now, the thunderclouds were extremely low, and the Goddess Peak, which was originally towering into the clouds, was mostly swallowed up by the rolling thunderclouds, and the "Goddess" could no longer be seen.
Chapter 191 Thunder
The Shushu Terrace is across the river from the Shennv Peak.
According to legend, it was here that Dayu bowed down to the goddess on the Shennv Peak and accepted the divine book on flood control bestowed by the goddess.
The rolling thunderclouds seemed to be right above the lecture platform, spreading outwards.
Suddenly, a divine light flashed across Feifeng Peak.
Shi Hao said in a deep voice: "We have been discovered."
Wu Shun, Ding San and Zhao Li looked around in surprise.
Sha Lingshan said, "Don't look, someone on Feifeng Peak discovered us, and I'm afraid they used some kind of magic weapon."
Shi Hao said: "Let's go!"
They flew away from the gorge, and soon, strong winds blew up around them, and countless people came chasing them from all directions.
Bang! A sound came from the side, blocking them. Many people jumped out from the darkness and stopped them.
The man standing in front of them was wearing a purple robe, a purple crown, and his hair and beard were all white.
Along the way, the purple-clothed men that Shi Hao and others saw were all wearing purple tight clothes and without wearing crowns.
Only this person was wearing a loose purple robe and a purple crown, and it was obvious at a glance that his status was higher than the others.
He looked at Shi Hao and the others with a piercing gaze and shouted, "No matter where you come from, now that you are here, don't even think about escaping."
Sha Ling fanned herself and said with a smile: "That may not be the case!" Her figure flashed.
With a bang, the man's body flew backwards, with a look of surprise on his face. He obviously didn't expect that this young woman, who looked only in her twenties, was actually more powerful than him.
Sha Lingshan succeeded in one move and continued to keep the momentum. She waved the round fan in her right hand and a blazing flame rushed out. She pointed the sword with her left hand and it turned into a sharp light that attacked the purple-capped old man's heart.
However, the old man in the purple crown did not panic even though he retreated. He waved his hands and there was a bang, a thunder-like explosion in his palms.
This "palm thunder" move actually stopped Sha Lingshan's fierce attack.
At the same time, all the other warriors around came forward. This group of people were obviously the elite among these purple-clothed warriors.
They all wielded single swords, and each strike of the sword was as fast as lightning, shining and deadly.
Even with the gauze lotus fan, he had never seen such a sword technique before.
More and more people surrounded them.
"Follow me!" Shi Hao swung his iron sword and attacked from the side.
The light emitted by this sword was like the rising sun tearing through the night, overbearing, ruthless and unstoppable.
All the warriors along the way were overwhelmed by his momentum and had to avoid his edge.
Wu Shun, Ding San and Zhao Li knew that the situation was critical, so they tried their best to keep up and show off their unique skills.
Madam Plum Blossom and Madam Peach Blossom both used soft swords. The soft swords were swung and intertwined with each other, and they worked together to repel wave after wave of pursuers from behind.
Sha Lingshan's figure flashed continuously, and screams were heard wherever she passed.
The old man with the purple crown leaped into the air and used palm thunder to blast towards the Sha Ling fan.
There were seven or eight more people on the side, some jumping down from the trees, some rolling on the ground, and they were cooperating with each other in a perfect coordination.
Sha Lingshan chuckled and danced.
Wu Shun, Ding San and Zhao Li followed behind the young man. Although there were enemies attacking from the side, the pressure on them was not that great.
There was clearly only one person in front of them, but they had a feeling as if they were following behind a rolling chariot, and they felt inexplicably at ease.
There were clearly many people rushing to stop them on the road ahead, but the young man was like a torrent that raged everywhere after a dam had broken through. He suppressed those people with his own strength and made them retreat step by step, gasping for breath.
Once the torrent begins to pour down, the so-called high walls, towers, etc. are as fragile as fences.
Ding San looked back and saw the two women behind him holding swords, which seemed to weave a sky full of stars.
Further behind, that graceful figure seemed to be everywhere. Amid the crackling sounds, figures flew out one after another.
The old man in the purple hat was furious and furious. Although he approached again and again, he was repeatedly repelled by the young woman and could not delay their steps.
At this moment, a loud noise came from the platform. With a loud bang, a wave of air rushed up from the platform and spread out.
The old man in the purple cap turned around quickly and saw that a chaotic energy was rushing up from the side of the teaching desk. The energy was surging and was constantly transforming the thunderclouds.
He couldn't help but frown, thinking: "The timing is wrong, why are we starting the 'Thunder Universalization' so soon?"
Wu Shun, Ding San, Zhao Li and others looked up and saw the thunderclouds in the sky rolling wildly, turning into streaks of thunder that crisscrossed and fell.
Crackling, snake-shaped lightning flashed back and forth between sky and earth.
Such a horrifying sight made their scalps tingle, and they felt a fear that the world was collapsing.
Originally, thunderclouds were only surging in the sky, and lightning was hidden in the thunderclouds, flashing back and forth, making the sky bright and dark.
The sun and the moon were blocked, and the earth was dark.
Now, thousands of lightning bolts are crisscrossing and covering the mountains and plains with astonishing momentum. Amidst the rumbling sounds, earth and rocks are splashed by the thunderbolts.
—As far as the eye can see, there is only white light between heaven and earth.
Immediately afterwards, there was another loud noise like the explosion of the universe, and the book-giving desk broke apart.
With the book-giving platform at its center, the ground began to crack.
There was a rumbling thunder in the air and a crackling sound underground.
But then two screams were heard, and a crack in the ground opened up right under the feet of Madam Plum Blossom and Madam Peach Blossom, and they both fell down.
"You go first!" The young man's voice passed through Wu Shun and the other three.
Before the three of them could see anything clearly, they saw the young man jumping down into the abyss.
"Young Master?!" Another figure followed and fell.
Wu Shun and the other three were all terrified. They looked towards the chasm, only to see another cave below that seemed to be bottomless.
Around them, the men in purple kept dodging between lightning and cracks in the ground and did not attack them again.
The old man wearing the purple crown ran towards the book-giving platform in a hurry.
—
Shi Hao chased quickly downwards, his head upside down, his eyes sharp, his whole body perpendicular to the ground.
Suddenly, he flipped in the air and a gust of wind blew out, slowing down his falling momentum along with Madam Plum Blossom and Madam Peach Blossom, and they floated down to the ground.
"Young Master!" Little Feicui, who had been chasing him secretly, appeared.
Because she didn't want to be seen, she always hid her figure.
From high up, the gauze fan also floated down lightly. Seeing that they were fine, she felt relieved.
"Young Master!" Madam Plum Blossom and Madam Peach Blossom called out in unison.
