Thunderbolts struck continuously from the sky. At first they were just scary, but later they were as terrible as tearing the sky and earth apart.
No matter how curious the onlookers were, they could not help but avoid it now. The white jade-like floor tiles of Yunhai City had been struck by the thunder and had spider-web-like cracks. In order to prevent innocent Yunhai Realm monks from being affected, Ye Shubai had already flown into the air with his sword to fight against the thunder. In the middle of the thunder net, Ye Shubai was like a pine tree washed by heavy rain. Even though his face was slightly pale, he did not frown.
Whenever there was a thunderbolt striking him, he would meet it head-on, taking it all in, not letting any of it splash down below. At this moment, he could not move an inch.
Shang Wuyang's sword was heading towards him, but he could not break through.
Because Wen Yun stood right in front of Ye Shubai, never moving away. He was protecting everyone in the Yunhai Realm, and she was protecting him.
However, even Wen Yun himself did not expect that the magic weapons and talismans that were originally intended to be used to defend against heavenly thunder would now become tools to stop Shang Wuyang.
After dodging Shang Wuyang's sword, she did not dare to relax for a moment. Her mind was tense to the extreme. Her powerful mental strength had captured all the opponent's movements clearly like a silk net.
Compared with the competition with other people in Yunhai Tower, the fight with Shang Wuyang made her feel unprecedented pressure. Wen Yun knew that this was not a competition, and she would die if she made a mistake.
Shang Wuyang is mentally ill and will definitely not follow the rules of Yunhai City.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the opponent stabbed with a ghostly sword again!
Wen Yun pushed back hard and jumped high, forcibly deflecting the fatal blow in the air with an incredible arc. However, Shang Wuyang seemed to have anticipated it, and his sword move changed and slashed towards another fatal point of Wen Yun.
However, Wen Yun's change of tactics was also prepared early. He instantly cast a magic barrier and quickly dodged when the sword moves slowed down.
There was a dead silence in Shang Wuyang's eyes, but the law of killing was released wantonly, capturing every vital point on Wen Yun's body in an almost perverted way.
To be honest, it was actually extremely simple for him to kill Wen Yun.
Shang Wuyang had been practicing for more than 2,000 years, and he only needed one more opportunity to break through to the immortal realm. During this period, he was constantly fighting and killing. Fighting was a common thing for him. Wen Yun was just a novice who had just ascended to heaven for less than a hundred years. If you really counted it, even if you add the previous five hundred years, she would still be considered a little girl in the upper realm.
Her only advantage is probably... her rich experience in escaping, right? She is definitely not as good as Shang Wuyang in terms of killing skills, but when it comes to escaping, Wen Yun is still very experienced.
Shang Wuyang didn't know this. He only knew that he had clearly discovered the opponent's vital point, but the other party had narrowly avoided it time and time again, as if the destiny of heaven was protecting this little girl.
Just as he was about to swing his sword again, several powerful auras came rushing in from all around the outskirts of Yunhai City. Under the scorching golden setting sun, one could see that the visitors were all wearing silver armor, and they were either orcs or humans, and their faces were all solemn and stern.
Yunhai City was originally built by cultivators from all realms. Although there is no immortal master here, it has the power of the Ascension Realm that cannot be matched by any other realm. Anyone who is willing to protect Yunhai City can join the Silver Armor Guard after passing the trial. Most of the taxes paid by merchants here and the fees paid by ordinary people to enter the city are given to them.
In other words, this huge force does not belong to one faction, it belongs to the people of the entire Yunhai Realm. This is why the Yunhai Realm has not been annexed by many upper realms.
Just now, those silver-armored guards with lower cultivation levels did not dare to step forward to stop Shang Wuyang. However, the team that came this time were obviously the elites among the silver-armored guards, and almost all of them had reached the peak realm. The elites of the entire silver-armored guard army gathered together, and they were obviously not afraid of Shang Wuyang.
They pointed their weapons at Shang Wuyang and warned him coldly.
"Friend Shang, since you have come to Yunhai City, you must abide by the rules of our Yunhai City, otherwise don't blame us for expelling you from Yunhai Realm."
After three consecutive sword strikes missed, Shang Wuyang did not feel angry or ashamed. Being stopped, he did not react too much, but just held the sword and did not retreat.
Shang Wuyang didn't know the seriousness of the problem, but Elder Zhang was very clear about it and was immediately frightened.
If the Yunhai Realm is angered, the Dongxuan Realm will make a great enemy!
He suppressed his fear and quickly walked behind Shang Wuyang, whispering, "Brother Shang, if you offend the Yunhai Realm, I'm afraid the head master will punish you when you return."
Seeing that Shang Wuyang had no reaction to the headmaster, he quickly changed his words: "Even the Supreme Xuan Immortal would not want to see such a situation."
"I understand." Shang Wuyang's face finally had a different expression. He put away his sword and said in a light tone: "How can such a small matter disturb Master's practice?"
The silver-armored guards also looked relieved.
However, the next moment, Shang Wuyang spoke again, and what he said made everyone feel puzzled: "But she is also my opportunity."
Elder Zhang took a look at Wen Yun, and after seeing her appearance clearly, he couldn't help but mutter, could it be that Junior Brother Shang, who has been single for thousands of years and has done nothing but practice, would also be tempted by worldly desires and want to find a Taoist partner
He reminded in a low voice: "Brother Shang, although this female cultivator is beautiful and talented, all disciples of my Dongxuan Sect only form Taoist couples within the sect. You, in particular, should go back and report to the sect master and Shangxuan Immortal Venerable."
Shang Wuyang was too lazy to explain, and only stated a fact: "I haven't encountered such a strong opponent in a long time. If I kill her, my Tao will surely improve."
He had fought with countless Ascension cultivators, and the Cloud Sea Tower was also full of masters from all walks of life. However, under the crushing of the Law of Killing, the vital points of others were exposed to him, and there was no escape. In comparison, Wen Yun made him regain the throbbing feeling he had in the past when fighting.
Good fellow! I thought you were attracted to that little girl, but it turns out you wanted to kill her!
Elder Zhang hissed. Even though they were one of his own, he simply could not understand Shang Wuyang's train of thought.
But there was no way. Elder Zhang didn't dare to disobey this junior brother. A single look from the other party could kill him a thousand times.
He was afraid that this guy would attack again and cause trouble for Dongxuan Sect, so he reminded her in a low voice: "You can kill her if you want. You can kill her in Yunhai Tower, or you can wait until she leaves Yunhai City before killing her."
In short, you cannot fight in Yunhai City. This is a safe zone. If you act without moral integrity, your account will be deleted.
Shang Wuyang didn't bother to raise his eyelids and walked straight towards the Yunhai Tower without saying a word.
When passing by Wen Yun, he glanced at the cloud card on the girl's waist and double-checked the number on it.
"Ninety-nine."
Wen Yun frowned, feeling as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
In less than half an incense stick of time, a corpse was carried out.
There were cries of surprise from the crowd: "Another person died at the hands of Shang Wuyang!"
Elder Zhang also recognized the dead winged man, remembering that he was the one who led them to look for the cloud beast two days ago. He frowned and sighed helplessly.
Wen Yun looked back suddenly, but saw no one. He only saw two bright purple tail feathers falling lightly from the corpse carried by the silver-armored guards. They were stained with fresh blood, bright red, soaking most of the tail feathers. The purple-red color was extremely dazzling.
The tail feathers were very familiar, and she still had a few left in her mustard seed bag, all of which she had picked up after the fight with Yi Yu. At that time, the winged man thought she was going to kill him, but he didn't expect that the person who really wanted to kill him was behind him.
Wen Yun felt as if his head had been hit hard, and he was confused.
She and Yi Yu indeed had no friendship, and the two had even had a quarrel and a fight because of the Winged Man's bad mouth, but she had never thought of harming his life. And at this moment, a life that was originally still alive was lost in front of her eyes. This was far more shocking than hearing someone simply say, "Shang Wuyang killed someone again."
The silver-armored guards frowned but said nothing. They just retreated silently. As long as they abided by the rules of Yunhai City, they would have no right to say anything even if Shang Wuyang slaughtered all the people in the Yunhai Tower.
He wants to be the number one person in this fairyland, and no one can stop him.
Cries of mourning broke out among the Winged People. It seemed as if thousands of birds were wailing in Yunhai City. Such cries had occurred many times in the past month. Accompanied by bursts of thunder that seemed to split the sky, the atmosphere in the usually peaceful and lively Yunhai City became particularly heavy.
The girl in the casino was terrified, but she was very smart. She ran towards Wen Yun quickly and reminded her: "Girl, are you number 99? Shang Wuyang wants to kill you, go challenge number 98 and avoid him!"
She was so anxious that her voice sounded like tears. Even though she was just a small person with low cultivation and a little maid who was ordered around and looked down upon in the gambling house, Wen Yun was very kind to her. She didn't want to see this female cultivator become a corpse being carried out.
However, the next moment, the cloud card on Wen Yun's waist lit up with a soft white light.
Shang Wuyang really came to kill her.
The little girl's face changed drastically and she urged Wen Yun to fight and escape.
However, Wen Yun just smiled. She raised her hand and touched the little girl's head, then took out the projection stone that Shang Wuyang had just given her. She had already engraved her soul imprint on it. Now she shone the light mirror that the little girl carried with her on the projection stone, thus completing the binding of the two.
"You've waited for a month to see me. If you don't bring back my image, you'll have trouble reporting it. Take the microscope to your boss, and remember to bet on me to win."
There was no way she could retreat.
The little girl held the mirror and gritted her teeth: "Girl, then you...then remember to escape from the ring as soon as you enter!"
There was no way she could escape.
"I'm going to stop Shang Wuyang."
He will be stopped at Ring No. 100 forever and will never be able to kill anyone again.
On Cloud Island.
As early as when the first bolt of lightning struck, Master Su Yuan realized something was wrong. He used a communication talisman to ask around, and soon a business partner in the Yunhai Realm informed him of what had happened in the city.
After hearing that Shang Wuyang came out to stop them, Master Su Yuan's face changed drastically, and he threw the hammer in his hand: "Xiao Bai is going through the tribulation, I have to go and protect him!"
Zhu Erchong and Shen Xinghai, who were still carrying bricks barefoot, were stunned: "But senior, what if you go there and get caught by the Dongxuan Sect?!"
"I can't care about so many things!" Master Su Yuan frowned and casually touched his face with his hand: "You only have one chance to ascend. If you fail, you will lose your life. Even if I am caught today, I will go to stop Shang Wuyang!"
After saying this, he took out a talisman from his pocket with a painful look and slapped it on his body. It was the magic talisman that he had bought at a high price in order to escape. It could almost reach the speed of space teleportation, but because Wen Yun later gave him many space teleportation scrolls that were more useful for escaping, this talisman was just kept in the bottom of the box.
I didn't expect it would come in handy at this time.
"You two will guard the island..."
Before he could finish his last sentence, Shen Xinghai and Zhu Erchong had already hugged his arms on each side, refusing to let go.
Zhu Erchong: "Senior, Master Ye is in trouble, how can we just sit there and do nothing! Even if I have to scold them today, I will scold them to death!"
Shen Xinghai: "A true man is willing to sacrifice his life for the enemy. I will go forward even if there are thousands of people against me!"
Master Su Yuan really wanted to throw the two grandsons down, but they were holding on too tightly, so he could only hold back his anger and curse: "If you keep saying these weird and unlucky words that sound like last words, don't blame me for being rude!"
The magic talisman was indeed useful. A journey that used to take most of the day now only took half a cup of tea.
As soon as they landed, they saw Ye Shubai standing in mid-air and enduring the thunder from the sky, and several people from the Dongxuan Sect standing under the thunder circle who dared not move forward. Obviously, they were not as brave as Shang Wuyang and did not dare to go up and experience the thunder from the sky summoned by Ye Shubai.
After seeing that Ye Shubai was fine, Master Su Yuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Shen Xinghai looked around but did not see the familiar figure. He frowned and asked, "Where is Junior Sister Wen?"
In fact, there is no need to ask this question, because many cultivators in Yunhai City are not doing business now. Even the stingiest vendors have given up doing business and even generously took out the source crystals that they had hidden in their boots because they were reluctant to buy mustard seed sacs.
Because now all the cultivators in the entire Yunhai City are participating in the two gambling games, and the casino even opened the game directly on the open space outside the Yunhai Tower.
The first bet was how many thunderbolts the young man flying in the sky could survive. Judging from Shang Wuyang's behavior, this young man must be extraordinary, so the minimum bet was fifty, and then sixty, seventy... The highest was one hundred. Of course, there were only a few people who could survive a hundred in the past few thousand years, so no one dared to bet on that.
And he has now survived forty heavenly thunders, and he still doesn't look like he can hold on any longer. Those monks who bet fifty have already started wiping their tears, feeling sorry for the source crystals they had thrown in.
The second bet is in the huge mirror standing in the open space.
It was a grey arena. Dim light was projected from overhead, stretching the two shadows extremely long and also casting the shadow of the strange long staff crookedly on the edge of the arena.
Shen Xinghai's face changed drastically after seeing the shadow of the long staff: "The one inside is Junior Sister Wen!"
"Junior Sister Wen? Why did she go into the Cloud Sea Tower at this time?"
The people from Qingliu Sword Sect didn't understand what he meant at first, but after hearing the mixed discussions among the people around them, they immediately understood what had happened and their faces suddenly changed.
"There is no grudge, why did Shang Wuyang want to kill Junior Sister Wen!" Zhu Erchong said angrily: "He killed so many people in the tower before, wouldn't it be enough to take Yundao? Why did he have to kill people? Are all the people in the Dongxuan Sect sick?"
"Shang Wuyang probably thinks that killing Yun girl can improve his killing rules." Master Su Yuan revealed the truth. His eyes were extremely cold and he gritted his teeth and said, "The people of Dongxuan Sect have always been like this. They don't know how to reason. They only care about the four words 'the strong prey on the weak'."
"Where do you think the Dongxuan Sect's vicious reputation comes from? And why are their disciples so strong? The entire Dongxuan Sect, from top to bottom, is so cruel that there is no humanity left! To join the Dongxuan Sect, in addition to having excellent talents, you must also maintain extremely high combat effectiveness. They have a disciple competition every year. Anyone who ranks last, no matter what their status is, will be stripped of the title of disciple and become a servant!"
Master Su Yuan looked at Shen Xinghai with pity: "You were injured before, so you can continue to stay in our Qingliu Sword Sect. There are also a group of fellow disciples who will take care of you, find prosthetic limbs for you, and give you the opportunity to come to the upper realm."
"But if you are a disciple of Dongxuan Sect, once you become a cripple, you won't even be qualified to leave the mountain gate to seek other opportunities. You can only become a chore to dig for source crystals or plant spiritual herbs."
"So they want to become stronger than anyone else, and they are more ruthless than any cultivator in any realm. The higher your realm, the more you will know how ruthless cultivators are. The path of cultivation is never a glorious and sunny one, cultivating one's body and mind, but a cruel road of constant scramble for resources and opportunities!"
Shen Xinghai and Zhu Erchong were both stunned. They couldn't quite accept this statement and murmured, "Senior, is he right?"
"Hey, two idiots, how can you not see that in a fight between life and death, there is no right or wrong, only victory or defeat." Master Su Yuan startled the two young sword cultivators who did not know the cruelty of the world with his words: "If Wen Yun wins today, then Shang Wuyang's way is wrong. If she loses, then his way is right!"
But can Wen Yun win
They wanted to go in and stop Shang Wuyang, but they were not allowed in and could only watch the constantly changing images on the mirror.
"Although that girl blocked Shang Wuyang's swords a few times just now, if we really talk about it, I'm afraid she will just die. What a pity, what a pity!"
"Shang Wuyang is willing to kill such a beauty. Dongxuan Sword Cultivator's reputation for being cold and hard-hearted is well-deserved."
"It's obvious that Shang Wuyang can win in this movie. Tsk, it's a pity that the odds are so low, I can't earn much source crystals."
…
Shen Xinghai stared at the mirror blankly, with countless noisy voices echoing in his ears, all talking about who to bet on. Among those voices, most of the spectators were worried about Wen Yun, but there were still some who were laughing wildly and dreaming of getting rich. They had already concluded that Wen Yun would be killed by Shang Wuyang.
In a trance, he seemed to be back in the sword-fighting meeting of that year, that early morning when the cherry blossoms and snowflakes were blowing all over his head.
That day, a group of brothers and sisters, in order to earn the jade for forging swords, scraped together the jade and bet on Wen Yunying. However, they never expected that she would get into an accident and disappear on the way, and all the jade they had saved up was lost. Later, in order to collect the travel expenses to Qingliu Sword Sect, Senior Sister Meng Ran even sold two jars of wine on Chuixue Island.
What Wen Yun didn’t know was that everyone cried that time.
But they were not crying for the lost spiritual jade, but because they thought she was dead, so they cried very sadly. Senior Brother Bao even bought paper money and burned it for Wen Yun in the middle of the night.
Shen Xinghai and Zhu Erchong looked at each other, and found that Zhu Erchong was also looking at him. Obviously, both of them recalled the past.
Zhu Erchong's voice was a little hoarse. He didn't dare to look at the mirror and asked with his head down, "Can she win?"
"Of course we can win. She only let us down that one time. When did she lose the other time? And she still owes me two thousand spirit jades. It's time to pay her back this time."
