Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 259: Broken Heart

Views:

Su Yun has experienced many adventures during this period, and it was only with the help of the power of gods and demons such as Yinglong, Taotie, and Xiangliu that he was able to escape danger many times. Although these gods and demons had different purposes, they all helped Su Yun overcome difficulties.

Now Taotie is sealed, Xiangliu is suppressed, and Yinglong, who habitually sleeps for five thousand years, is also asleep. Facing the cave master of a secret school like Jingzhao, if you are not careful, you may be killed by the other party!

"Master Su, I traveled around to select disciples for Huoyun Cave, and I have been to Shuofang before."

Jing Zhao heard his boasting, but he was not angry. He said calmly: "Speaking of which, Pavilion Master was also among those I examined. Pavilion Master Su shined in the Thunder Valley, so I wanted to take you as my disciple."

Su Yun's heart moved slightly and he looked at Yu Qingluo. Yu Qingluo had been to the Thunder Valley in Shuofang, so Jing Zhao must have been there at that time.

Jing Zhao sighed and said, "It's a pity that after I saw Su Ge actively use the key to Tongtian Pavilion, I realized that I was a step late. You have been beaten to it by the Pavilion Master."

Su Yun didn't know that he had such a connection with Huoyun Cave, and asked: "What virtue and ability did Su Yun have to be favored by Jingdong Lord?"

"But after not seeing you for a few months, you have been taught the wrong lesson by Tongtian Pavilion."

Jing Zhao changed the subject: "Master Su was originally a modest young man. Since he became the master of Tongtian Pavilion, he has learned to be like Tongtian Pavilion. From the skin to the inside, from the flesh to the soul, he is full of the stench of Tongtian Pavilion."

Su Yun was suffocated to death.

Yingying said alertly: "Master Su, I think we should run away! Huoyun Cave definitely has a grudge against our Tongtian Pavilion, and the grudge is not small!"

"Yingying, don't you know what festival it is?" Su Yunxingling asked hurriedly.

"How should I know? I only remember that Master Ying was a member of Tongtian Pavilion, and I know very little about the rest. Master Ying's memory is actually incomplete."

Yingying is a book monster formed by Ying Shizi's soul attached to a book. The memories of Ying Shizi that she awakened can only come from Ying Shizi's soul.

The soul is a highly condensed spirit, so only the events that leave a deep impression on the scholar will be imprinted in the soul. Some insignificant memories and details of trivial matters in life will not appear in the soul.

Obviously, either Lady Ying had never heard of the feud between Tongtian Pavilion and Huoyun Cave, or she thought this matter was unimportant.

Jing Zhao put his hands behind his back and walked down from the fire cloud. He said, "Since Pavilion Master Su feels that the unique skills of the Saint Emperors and Saints of past dynasties are not good enough and cannot surpass the new skills, then I have no choice but to ask Pavilion Master Su..."

Before he uttered the word "teach", Jing Zhao's face changed slightly and he looked up at the sky.

Su Yun also noticed something unusual and looked up at the sky. He saw a huge sword more than ten feet long flying in the sky and landing above Donghai County.

"Immortal Sword? No, it's not an Immortal Sword!"

Su Yun's heart skipped a beat, and a magic rope from his sleeve flew straight up, taking him into the sky. Su Yun put away the magic rope, stood on the dark cloud formed by the dust curtain sky, looked at the big sword, and his face changed drastically.

A cloud of fire rose slowly under Jing Zhao's feet, lifting him into the air. At the same time, a green vine took root outside the sea station and grew rapidly, with its vines reaching into the sky.

Yu Qingluo stood on a leaf of the vine, held the vine with his hand and looked at it, his face changed drastically.

Behind the ten-zhang-long sword in the sky was a group of silver-white flying swords, flying towards Donghai County.

"Look over there!" Yingying flew out from Su Yun's spiritual world and pointed behind everyone.

Su Yun hurriedly turned around, his heart beating violently, and saw another cloud of swords flying towards him, led by a huge sword that was more than ten feet long!

These two sword clouds both came from the sea.

Donghai County is located on the coast of the East China Sea. It is a peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides. Obviously, the enemy is attacking from the south and north seas of Donghai County!

"It's not targeting Donghai County!"

The Marquis of Donghai County was a master of the Yuan family named Yuan Zhen. He also noticed the unusual phenomenon and quickly flew up and stood in mid-air. Seeing this, he shouted, "Don't panic, everyone! This is a war between the navies of Daqin and Daxia, not to fight me, Yuan Shuo!"

Many spiritualists and generals in Donghai County urged the spiritual soldiers guarding the city to prepare to deal with the aftermath of the naval confrontation between Qin and Daxia. Obviously, this was not the first time.

Donghai Hou Yuan Zhen saw Su Yun's Cang Yun from afar, and his heart was shocked. He came forward and greeted him as an equal. He smiled and said, "So it's Su Shaoshi. Su Shaoshi hasn't left Yuanshuo to take up his post overseas yet?"

Su Yun returned the greeting: "I just came back from Lingnan and plan to leave today."

Donghai Hou Yuan Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "Leaving today? Very good. I must order people to prepare firecrackers and celebrate..."

He looked at Jing Zhao and Yu Qingluo, but didn't recognize them, so he didn't take it seriously.

Huoyun Cave is an extremely secretive inheritance, which is even more secretive and older than Tongtian Pavilion.

The Fire Cloud Cave usually only interacts with saints, but the interactions are not frequent. Often when the saint is in his twilight years, the owner of the Fire Cloud Cave will go to see the saint in person, demonstrate the magical powers and Taoism of saints of all ages, and then invite the saint to enter the Three Emperors Fire Cloud Cave Heaven.

Generally speaking, saints in their old age would gladly go there and leave their unique skills in the cave.

Although Donghai Hou Yuan Zhen also holds an extraordinary status, he is still far from having contact with the Fire Cloud Cave, and has never even heard of it.

Su Yun looked at the sword cloud flying in the sky and asked in confusion: "My Lord, Daqin and Daxia are at war, why are they fighting in Yuanshuo?"

Donghai Hou Yuan Zhen smiled and said, "You don't know. These two countries are barbarians. They have always had grievances and have been fighting for hundreds of years. They kill each other at every turn. My Donghai County has also suffered a disaster for no reason. This is not the first time..."

Before he could finish, two groups of sword clouds met in the sky!

"boom!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, countless sword lights suddenly burst out when the sword clouds collided, and the sword lights shot out in all directions!

Su Yun stood on the blue cloud, his mind moved slightly, and the dusty sky turned into a dome, blocking the sword lights that were several feet long!

The enormous power contained in the sword light actually pierced through the dome formed by the dusty sky.

Su Yun dodged the sword light that passed through the dome and was secretly shocked: "The soldiers of Daqin and Daxia are going to war. Isn't their attainment in swordsmanship too high?"

These sword lights are not spiritual weapons or magic tools, but the aftermath of the magical power bursting out from the flying sword. The power of the aftermath alone is so astonishing. One can imagine how powerful the flying sword in the sword cloud is!

The sword lights in the sky were like pieces of glass as thin as cicada wings, and many of them shot downwards.

In Donghai County, the Yuan Shuo soldiers who were guarding the place hurriedly urged the spiritual soldiers to protect the county city, but they saw ripples coming out of the giant spiritual soldiers, blocking hundreds of sword lights.

There were also soldiers standing on the buildings, using their magical powers to block any fish that slipped through the net.

Su Yun looked down and saw that Donghai County had strong defenses. Even though sword flashes shot into the city, it did not cause many casualties.

He looked up and saw thousands of flying swords crisscrossing in the sky above Donghai County. Every time the flying swords moved, rays of sword light were emitted, forming a sword light sky covering the sky above Donghai County!

In the distance, one could vaguely see many foreign spiritualists flying over. The skills they practiced were very different from Yuan Shuo's. They even grew flesh wings behind them and could flap them to fly!

Their magical powers formed a vision of a heavenly palace in the sky, with the Gate of Heaven standing tall and the gods standing in it.

These foreign spiritualists have already activated their sword clouds and started fighting before they even met!

"My lord, the county town is defended, but what about the surrounding villages?" Su Yun suddenly asked.

Donghai Hou Yuan Zhen said: "What else can we do? We can only hope for the best. Shaoshi, rest assured, the Haiyi Station is run by foreigners, they will not destroy it..."

Su Yun activated the Taoist Heavenly Eye, and a vertical eye opened between his eyebrows. Looking into the distance, he saw sword lights several feet long falling into the countryside.

A small village in Donghai County is peaceful, with fat cattle and sheep, and villagers working as usual, men farming and women weaving.

However, the next moment, the sky lit up, and a bright sword light fell into the small village. The village houses were lifted up by the falling sword light, and the sword light shattered. The sword light fragments tore into pieces the people and animals who had no time to dodge!

“Swish, swish, swish!”

In the sky, soldiers from the Great Qin and Great Xia fought a fierce battle, and the aftermath continued to fall to various parts of Donghai County. For a time, countless people in the countryside were killed and injured!

Seeing this, Jing Zhao was furious. He flew up into the sky and shouted, "How dare you, barbarians, bully Yuan Shuo like this!"

His cultivation was profound and his realm had reached the level of the Original Dao. His ability of Fire Cloud Cave Heaven came from the inheritance of saints of all generations. He displayed the supernatural powers of the old saints and attacked the soldiers of Daqin and Daxia at the same time.

Su Yun felt relieved: "No matter how harsh Jing Zhao's words are, he is still a Yuanshuo man. He has a heart to protect his country. With such a heart, he is not an enemy of Tongtian Pavilion..."

Just as he thought of this, Jing Zhao's magical power had already broken the sword clouds of both sides.

Su Yun was shocked. Jing Zhao's ability was almost as good as those of the four mythical beings. However, his magical power was easily broken by the sword clouds of thousands of soldiers from the Great Qin and Great Xia!

Jing Zhao transformed dozens of saintly magical powers in the air, but his powers were broken time and time again. Sword lights rained down like rain, penetrating his magical powers and soon leaving scars on the old man's body.

The soldiers of Daqin and Daxia flapped their wings and flew over, finally engaging in a head-on confrontation.

Jing Zhao was caught in the middle of the battle between the two sides and had to resist attacks from both sides. There were two heavenly palaces with gods standing in the sky, bombarding him with magical powers. Jing Zhao vomited blood and could no longer hold on, but he kept roaring and fighting hard.

Su Yun hurriedly activated the magical rope, and the magical rope pierced into the battlefield with a swish, wrapped around Jing Zhao, and finally saved him when he was about to be defeated!

"Yuan Shuo barbarian!" The laughter of a foreign soldier came from the sky.

Su Yun took back the immortal rope, placed Jing Zhao on the dark cloud transformed from the dusty sky, and frowned.

He looked up, and saw soldiers from the Great Qin and Great Xia fighting fiercely in the sky, using all kinds of magical powers and techniques that were unprecedented and extremely powerful!

Jing Zhao's face was ashen, he was lying on his back in the dusty sky, his body was covered in blood, his eyes were blank, he stared blankly at the magical powers and spiritual weapons of the two warring parties in the sky.

Yu Qingluo hurried forward to check his injuries.

Jing Zhao suddenly burst into tears, and Yu Qingluo was at a loss.

Jing Zhao's tears mixed with blood flowed down his face, and he just lay there, crying.

"Master Su, his heart of Taoism seems to be broken." Yingying said with some reluctance.

Su Yun looked up at the sky, watching the Taoist magic powers fighting in the sky, bit his lips hard, and said nothing.

He couldn't understand most of these magical powers.

The only part he could understand was the part that Cang Jiuhua gave to Yuan Shuo!

The battle in the sky was soon decided. The soldiers of Daxia were defeated and left behind corpses. The soldiers of Qin State chased and killed them, but when they reached the enemy's sea surface, they stopped and turned back.

There were many large ships on the enemy's sea, which were filled with spiritual soldiers. They were so powerful that even the strong men of the Qin Dynasty did not dare to approach them.

The old man Jing Zhao stopped, his eyes blank.

A soldier from the Great Qin State descended from the sky and landed on the dusty sky. He looked Su Yun up and down, then suddenly knelt on one knee and bowed, saying, "I, Liang Shuangyuan, the Five Thunder Envoy of Tongtian Pavilion, pay my respects to His Excellency Yuan Shuo, the Master of Tongtian Pavilion!"

Su Yun raised his hand and said, "You are from the overseas Tongtian Pavilion? Why did you lead the army to attack Yuan Shuo?"

In the battle in the sky just now, the sword that severely injured Jing Zhao was struck by Liang Shuangyuan, a soldier of the Great Qin State.

"The Overseas Tsutenkaku is far superior to the Yuanshuo Tsutenkaku. I respect the Master of the Yuanshuo Tsutenkaku according to etiquette, but I am not your subordinate."

Liang Shuangyuan stood up and said with a smile: "My Overseas Tongtian Pavilion has already elected a new Pavilion Master. The new Pavilion Master is the orthodox one!"
