Elder Liu walked out, and the rain turned to drizzle. He looked around and sighed, "It's a nice palace building, but half of it is now burned down."
"There's nothing we can do about it." Someone said in response.
I saw many buildings burned. Although the raindrops had extinguished many of them, 30% of them had been almost razed to the ground. The remaining walls and foundations were blackened by the smoke and fire. The wing rooms further away were basically intact. The empty and lonely ground was full of corpses.
Elder Liu sighed with emotion. In fact, after secretly giving the order, several people had already moved forward and said, "This time the loss is huge!"
"Yes, in the first wave of attacks, more than ten people were killed out of thin air, and almost no enemies were killed. Fortunately, the Dao method was weakened, and many more died in the subsequent attacks."
"Elder, it was you who deliberately let go and broke up the fight to the death."
"They just escaped into the secret passage. When the main hall is captured, they will surround the secret passage and annihilate it in one fell swoop." Elder Liu frowned and then smiled: "Do they think they can escape?"
Just as he was talking, his foot stepped on the hand of a corpse, and some blood spattered on it. He couldn't help but was startled, and he was about to step over and wipe it on the man's clothes. At this moment, the corpse next door jumped out with a flash of sword light.
Elder Liu also reacted very quickly. He crushed a ring and saw a flash of white light, protecting his whole body. The next moment, he was about to cast a spell and retreat.
But there was only a "pop" sound, and the tip of the sword penetrated through Elder Liu's back. Blood gushed out from Elder Liu's mouth. He forced himself to look at it, and fell to the ground. He was dead, with only his eyes His eyes were wide open, as if he could not rest in peace.
"ah!"
Everyone around was screaming, and they reacted in a blink of an eye: "Kill, kill this man to avenge the elders, kill!"
These people shouted and rushed towards Pei Ziyun. Pei Ziyun just flickered and appeared beside a person in an instant. This movement technique is actually a Taoist technique that can instantly make oneself light and agile. The swordsman felt danger and blocked it with his sword.
With a "pop" sound, the sword energy overflowed, and the two swords intersected. The opponent only felt a force hitting him like a heavy hammer, and immediately fell out. Without saying a word, Pei Ziyun stabbed his sword and penetrated his body immediately. In this swordsman's mind, Amid the screams, another person approached and struck him with a sword.
Pei Ziyun turned slightly and struck out with his backhand sword. The man felt a pain in his chest and fell to the ground.
In an instant, two swordsmen were killed in a row, and the rest of the people were frightened. Pei Ziyun didn't even look at it, and rushed forward. The swordsmen had no time to dodge, and they looked at each other, and the four sword lights were already staggered and slashed.
The sword light in Pei Ziyun's hand flashed, and there was a clear cry, drawing a shallow arc, "Puff." Just the contact made the four people's arms numb, trembling, and they immediately retreated quickly.
But the sword was faster, and it swiped across the chest and abdomen. The four of them groaned and turned over. At this moment, Pei Ziyun suddenly sensed a warning sign and ducked out of the way.
At the original foot, a tree vine was entangled towards Pei Ziyun but fell into vain.
At this time, a man from behind rushed towards him and stabbed him with a sword. There was a "clang" sound, the two swords intersected, and Pei Ziyun's body shook slightly. The swordsman was first surprised, then delighted, and shouted: "Kill him quickly, He has fought many battles, and his mental and physical strength has been weakened by more than half, and he can't hold on for much longer!"
"Really?" There was a terrifying sword light below. When it came out, it immediately made people feel like they were seeing real lightning. The swordsman had no way to avoid it, so he shouted and rushed forward.
But the sword was blocked, and blood spurted out immediately. He screamed and fell to his knees involuntarily.
"Pfft", an arrow shot past, and then he avoided it. There seemed to be another cold feeling on his back. Pei Ziyun rolled over, his body movements were agile, and without any smoke and smoke, he rolled behind a stone pillar. Only then did Pei Zi gasp fiercely. I tried to recover quickly, but to be honest, I fought continuously tonight, and now, it does seem like I have run out of gas.
"Pei Ziyun, although you killed the elder, I can give you a chance to show off the light machine. You have to believe in the credibility of our Qi Xuan Sect." After a moment of silence, a swordsman walked out and said, hinting at the Taoist to cast a spell and arrow. Hands ready.
"Pei Ziyun, do you think a pillar can resist it?" The swordsman moved forward, and suddenly another vine appeared on the ground and wrapped around the stone pillar, but it missed.
"No one is there?" The swordsman was startled, looked around, and shouted step by step: "Pei Ziyun, look, we have breached the mountain gate, you still want to hide, where are you going to hide?"
"Otherwise, if you join me in Qi Xuan Sect, I believe that with your strength, you can definitely become our direct descendant of Qi Xuan Sect. Wouldn't it be much better than dying in battle?"
“Isn’t it that we Taoists who cultivate hard are just for immortality?”
"When you die, there is nothing."
The night was deep and it was difficult to see clearly. Pei Ziyun sneered and hid behind a stone a little further away, observing the ambushing Taoist and archer. Based on the angle of the arrow, the archer could roughly guess the location, but the Taoist who was proficient in Taoism was hidden. deepest.
Normally I could kill him, but at this moment my state was a great threat. Thinking of this, I sneaked over secretly, just like a cat.
"That's not right." The swordsman suddenly thought about something and looked into the distance and shouted, "Be careful of sneak attacks."
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had exposed the archer's position, and shouted again: "Lu Yuan, that man is coming, be careful..."
Listening to the swordsman's words, an archer dodged around the corner and was about to escape. Pei Ziyun appeared next to the man like a ghost and killed him with a sword.
At this critical moment of life and death, the archer's heart felt cold. He threw away his bow and drew his sword. But as soon as the sword flashed, he felt a chill in his heart. There was no pain, only a slight numbness, and he fell down with a groan.
Another tree vine stretched out and wrapped around Pei Ziyun's body, only to wrap around him. At lightning speed, Pei Ziyun held his bow and nocked an arrow. With a sound of "Boom!", an arrow shot in powerfully. There was darkness, followed by a shrill scream.
A Taoist man struggled to stand up and fell down again.
"You're the only one left, die!" As soon as the Taoist died, the tree vines loosened themselves, and Pei Ziyun swept forward, his body quickly surpassing the sharp arrow from the string, and the swordsman on the opposite side also shouted to meet him.
"Zheng", there were several ding-ding-ding sounds, a flash of sword light broke through, and stabbed into the throat silently. The man fell out with a loud voice.
"Even if I get to the mountain, I have killed eleven or two people, right?" Pei Ziyun stood blankly, panting, and already staggering a little. He touched in his arms and took out a small bottle: "Fortunately, I used to The replenishing elixir you refined is still there, so you can replenish your physical strength at this time."
As he said that, he poured down three pills at once, started chewing them, and headed towards the main hall where people were still shouting for death: "Actually, there shouldn't be many enemies in front of the main hall."
"Round inside and outside, kill them all in one fell swoop."
"Junior Brother Pei, is that you?" At this moment, someone asked.
"Who is it, Zhang Yun?" Someone came out of a side hall. Half of the hall was damaged, with broken bricks and tiles everywhere.
The two looked at each other, and Pei Ziyun asked, "What's going on?"
Seeing the killing sounds in the hall, Zhang Yun quickly whispered again: "There are dozens of people outside the Patriarch's hall. Since there is a secret passage in the hall, we use the tunnel to send away the injured and some disciples who cannot fight at all."
"Chu Xia is also among them."
"How many people are there in the hall?" Pei Ziyun interrupted.
"But nine people couldn't be fought. The remaining dozen wounded and the disciples who couldn't fight moved into the tunnel. However, the tunnel was not dug too far at all. It only led to this side hall."
"I understand!" Pei Ziyun understood immediately: "There are only more than thirty enemies. The gap between you and me is not big anymore. It doesn't matter if you are injured, as long as you can hold a bow."
"Go down immediately and gather all the disciples who can hold bows."
"I immediately went to collect the scattered bows and arrows."
"Yes!" Zhang Yun was frightened by his stern voice. He immediately responded and hurriedly got into the tunnel. In just a short time, more than ten people came out. All of them were injured, and some were still bleeding.
"The enemy is besieging the Patriarch's Hall. I'm afraid we have to break through the Patriarch's Hall before we can truly break through the Blessed Land. Otherwise, they won't be surrounding the Patriarch's Hall. We must kill all these people."
"Everyone, take your bow and load the arrow. Quick, I just killed the enemy elder, but the enemy will react soon."
"You and I cooperated and shot the Taoist with bows and arrows. The Taoist didn't react quickly. I guess they didn't expect us to attack behind us."
Pei Ziyun coldly ordered: "You only need to shoot three arrows, and the rest will be left to me and Senior Brother Zhang."
"And as soon as we attack, there will be a response inside the Patriarch's Palace. We are not alone. Now, kill!"
"yes!"
"Boom, boom, boom!" The giant wood hit hard. Although the Patriarch's Hall was protected by the last Taoist method, the door also cracked. A Taoist sneered: "It seems that the Patriarch's Hall of Songyun Sect can no longer support it. The people must have been exhausted physically and mentally, and we killed them all in one fell swoop.”
"Everyone, prepare!" Following the order, the remaining swordsmen, swordsmen, and Taoists all looked at the door intently, accumulating their Taoist skills and strength, preparing to strike with thunder to defeat the people inside.
At this moment, I heard a cold voice: "Let go!"
"The door hasn't been opened yet, who is giving random orders?" the Taoist thought, but there was only a "buzz" sound, and a rain of arrows fell. Suddenly seven or eight people, especially the Taoist, screamed and fell to the ground.
"There is an enemy attack!"
"Shoot again!" Another hail of arrows fell, and this time there were far fewer people hit. Only five or six people were hit by arrows and screamed, so they may not have died.
"Last shot!" More than ten arrows fell, and only three or four people were hit by the arrows.
It took strength to draw the bow, but the wounded's wounds were bursting and blood spattered, and they could no longer draw the bow. At this time, Pei Ziyun shouted and rushed in with Zhang Yun.
The nearest swordsman slashed away, the sword was fierce, but the whistle of the blade did not stop, Pei Ziyun had already passed by, the sword flashed, blood gushed out, and the man fell out.
Pei Ziyun, like a sharp knife, rushed directly into the formation. For a moment, he used all the sight and hearing he usually used, without thinking or thinking, and only relied on the intuition trained in countless dangers to perform sword skills.
It's strange to say that even though I didn't think about it, I swung the sword and heard a continuous "puff" sound. There was always a sensation of penetration, which proved that the sword hit the target.
"Like the shape of clouds, recalling the changes of the wind, or thinking nothing." In just a moment, Pei Ziyun had a complete realization. He finally fully understood the highest attainment of the Shen family's thirty-seven postures while constantly fighting.
The sky was shrouded in black clouds, with only the light of fire flickering. Zhang Yun looked around and was dumbfounded. He saw the sword light blending into the night. In an instant, five or six people around him fell out, with blood splashing everywhere.
