defeat
Even if I lose, I must draw my sword. Only by doing so can I have no regrets.
Amid the howling of Ye Jin and I, two air currents that were powerful enough to stir up the wind and clouds collided in the air, and the surging true energy was like two waves colliding with each other. After the loud collision, the aftermath swept in all directions. After a burst of flying sand and rocks, the heavy air waves pushed my sword energy back to crush Ye Jin and me.
Although Ye Jin and I kept urging our internal energy to counterattack each other, we still couldn't stop the wild impact of the airflow. The rolling air wave came towards Ye Jin and me with overwhelming force, but it collapsed from back to front. The sword energy I was still urging immediately tore through the air wave that was running out of power, and rushed a hundred meters into the enemy group.
The front row of warlocks in the Xuanjing Division were torn into pieces in the sword energy in the blink of an eye, and blood rushed into the sky. While the extremely fierce sword light was still pushing the broken bodies to roll outward, I clearly saw corpses that seemed to have been killed by the sharp blade coming from the opposite direction towards the sword energy I was urging, and the golden sword light mixed in with the corpses was still whistling in the air.
Sword energy
Stunning sword eyes
Little white sugar!
I was immediately shocked. It was Xiao Baitang who launched the stunning sword eye from behind the Xuan Jing Division and killed the masters of the Xuan Jing Division. Only then could my sword energy split the opponent's combined attack formation and drive straight in. But my sword energy is still rushing in. Once it collides with the sword light, won't it become a duel between me and Xiao Baitang
Luosha's sword energy was already irreversible. No matter how hard I tried to retract the sword, the aftermath of the sword energy collided with the sword light. Luosha made a humming sound as if in pain, and Ye Jin and I took two steps back at the same time. When I turned around with the sword, Xiao Baitang had already stood up and turned to look in the direction of Lu Xiaoying. The stunning sword eye was activated again. The sword light was so powerful that it pushed a hundred steps across in an instant. The sword light, like an aurora across the sky, sank into the body of the Xuanjing Si Warlock in the blink of an eye, and then violently burst out from the inside out in an instant. The swirling sword light drove blood into the air, like red ribbons swaying in the wind, extremely gorgeous but also bloody.
Lu Xiaoying desperately swung two swords and rushed out of the crowd. Ye Jin and I also rushed into the enemy group at the same time, stepping on the blood. When I reached out to grab the shaky Xiao Baitang, two lines of blood had already flowed from her eyes, but I didn't have time to feel sorry for Xiao Baitang. I could only pull her to Ye Jin and reach out to save Guan Qingyan.
When I tried to pull Shen Fengyin back, she had already fainted on the ground. At this moment, Lu Xiaoying rushed up from behind and quickly carried Shen Fengyin on his back: "Hurry up!"
"Go!" I slapped Ye Jin hard, and the latter rushed down the mountain with gusts of wind.
"All disciples of the Demon Slaying Hall retreat!"
"Murder Hall, chase them! We can't let them get away!"
As Sun Yifan and the leader of the Killing Hall shouted angrily, the Xuanjing Division also split into two groups, one group retreated on the spot, and the other group pursued relentlessly. A large number of masters stepped on the grass and flew up and down in the mountains, their speed was no less than Ye Jin, and after just a moment, they approached the range of 100 meters behind us.
In a little while, even if we are not caught up by the enemy, we will fall into the range of their hidden weapons. Once the Xuanjing Division fires arrows at once, how many of us can escape from their hands
I patted Ye Jin gently and said, "Take Xiao Baitang and the others and leave quickly. I'll cover your retreat..."
Ye Jin was furious and said, "Bullshit! I'll be the one to cover your retreat, you take the others and leave!"
I was immediately anxious: "Can I run out with two people on my back at the same time? Take them out for me..."
"Amitabha—" Ye Jin and I were arguing when we suddenly heard a loud Buddhist chant coming from afar.
When I looked up, a large number of monks from the Prajna Temple had already appeared among the trees and forests. The old monks in the lead, wearing fiery red cassocks, looked majestic and imposing, and I could feel the pressure emanating from them even from a hundred steps away.
Not to mention the hundreds of elite monks, even a dozen or so red-robed old monks with profound cultivation were enough to keep us in the mountains. But Ye Jin and I plunged into the enemy's encirclement without knowing it.
The leader of the Killing Hall who was chasing after us laughed loudly and said, "This is the Arhat formation of the Prajna Temple. Wu Zhao, you are doomed to fail. Friends from the Prajna Temple in front, please help us stop Wu Zhao. In the future, you will definitely have a share in the great achievement of wiping out the Half-Life Sect."
I took a deep breath and said, "Ye Jin, prepare to fight!"
Ye Jin suddenly let out a long roar and charged towards the formation with all his strength. The disciples of the Killing Hall who were chasing after us also rushed into the Arhat formation in the blink of an eye. They wanted to cooperate with the Prajna Temple from inside and outside to strangle us all.
What I didn’t expect was that when Ye Jin was about to approach the edge of the formation, the Arhat Formation opened an exit, and Monk Zhihui stepped out quickly: “Mr. Wu, follow me, I will lead you out of the formation.”
After a moment of hesitation, I immediately urged Ye Jin to rush towards the exit. We are now trapped in a cage. The monks of Prajna Temple have no reason to lie to me. Even if they lied to me, what would it matter? It's just a death. It doesn't matter to me where I get killed.
Ye Jin and I rushed out of the formation in an instant. The leader of the Killing Hall, who had no time to catch up, shouted angrily: "You, the Prajna Temple, want to go against the will of heaven? Aren't you afraid..."
Before the other party finished speaking, an old monk roared in a deep voice: "Form a formation!"
When the Arhat formation was restored and the disciples of the Killing Hall were trapped inside, the leader of the Killing Hall was completely panicked: "What do you want to do? What for? I am a subordinate of the Xuanjing Division, and we are following the will of heaven to eliminate..."
The old monk interrupted him in a deep voice: "You have killed countless people in your life and have committed serious sins. I will help you to be reborn in paradise today! All disciples, help you to be reborn..."
“Kill… Kill them all… Even if only one person escapes, go back to Xuan Jing Division to expose Prajna Temple and reduce them to ashes! Kill them…” The roar of the leader of the Killing Hall was gradually drowned out by the earth-shaking shouts of killing. I also followed Zhihui to an abandoned temple.
Zhi Hui whispered, "The two female donors are seriously injured. I will ask my uncle to treat them."
Only then did I notice that Xiao Baitang was bleeding, and Shen Fengyin had been hit by at least four swords and had been unconscious.
I quickly handed him over to two old monks, who led them to the backyard. I was like an ant on a hot pot, running around in the room. Zhihui said, "Mr. Wu, please be patient. The abbot wants to talk to you."
I finally calmed down and said, "Master, please lead the way."
When Zhihui brought Lu Xiaoying and me to the side hall, an old monk was already waiting there. After I greeted him, the abbot spoke first: "Mr. Wu, you must have a lot of questions, right? What I can tell you is that our temple's help this time was all arranged by Mr. Gu."
I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows and asked, "Gu Piaoran?"
"Yes." The abbot nodded and said, "The Tongtian Mirror has been taken away by Mr. Shi. He said that he was ashamed to see his former brothers again. He also asked me to tell you that he is very happy to meet you in this life, but fate has already been decided, and he had to trick you into doing it. If there is a chance in the future, he will come back to find you."
Ye Jin growled, "What does Monk Shi mean? What do you mean there will be opportunities in the future?"
The abbot shook his head and said, "The Half-Life Dao is profound and unfathomable. I don't understand what Mr. Shi meant. Perhaps he meant that there will be a chance to see you again in the future!"
Ye Jin's eyes suddenly turned red, and I couldn't help but sigh. Guan Qingyan whispered, "Is changing one's fate so important? Why do so many people want to change their fate at any cost?"
The abbot shook his head and said, "What they changed was not their fate, but the obsession in their hearts. Not to mention the Half-Life Dao, even several of the past monks in this temple were the same. Otherwise, they would not have risked their lives to bring back the Tongtian Mirror."
I couldn't help but ask, "Do Buddhist disciples also believe in changing one's fate by defying the will of heaven?"
The abbot shook his head and said, "Those monks didn't say it explicitly, but we have always felt that they are the descendants of the Half-Life Dao. The Half-Life Dao is much more powerful than you think."
"Everyone in the art world thinks that the Half-Life Dao has long disappeared in the long river of history, but that's not the case. The Half-Life Dao disciples back then integrated into the art world like stars in the sky and hid their identities, but they all thrived and dominated their own regions. However, no one knew their identities. Even fellow Half-Life disciples did not interact with each other. They were all waiting for something."
The abbot looked up at me and said, "If I am not mistaken, they are waiting for the return of Ning Nitian and Zhan Wuxiang."
I was shocked and asked, “Will they come back?”
The abbot answered the question irrelevantly: "Wu Xiang is against heaven, and Ni Tian is Wu Xiang. Aren't their names together a mystery? Their plots are untraceable, yet full of mysteries. In many plots, even the parties involved don't know how they ended up on the path of against heaven, and in the end they couldn't back out even if they wanted to."
"However, only with such an untraceable layout can we successfully plan the heaven-defying plan and allow the disciples of the Half-Life Dao to reach the last step. Defying the heavens and being formless is the true solution to the formlessness!"
I couldn't help but stare at the abbot and said, "These secrets should only belong to the Half-Life Dao, right? How did the master know them?"
The abbot smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, I am also a disciple of the Half Life Dao. Although my master did not teach me the art of Half Life Dao deduction, he left me a task, which is to fully assist the successor of the Half Life Dao one day in the future."
"If I knew that Mr. Gu was a disciple of the Half-Life Dao, I would have given him the Tongtian Mirror long ago. But it is precisely because I don't know your identities that the Tongtian Mirror has fallen into the hands of the Half-Life Dao's successor. Tell me, isn't the layout of Nitian Wuxiang very interesting?"
The Heaven-Defying Wuxiang is indeed full of coincidences and inevitability. I said in a deep voice: "Master, are you planning to lead the Prajna Temple to participate in the Heaven-Defying?" (To be continued)
