At some point, the dark sky of the demon world began to sprinkle rain like drizzle, like dense lines connecting the sky and the earth into one.
In the dense rain, the heavily armored guards from the demon world were running towards a certain direction at night like rolling stones. With their cultivation, their speed was much faster than that of ordinary people, and they were even comparable to the running demon wolves.
At the front was the Lord of Hanyuan City holding a trident. The rugged mountain road seemed like flat ground under his feet. Occasionally, huge rocks would slide down and fall, but he would smash them into powder with a swing of the trident.
"Which direction did you go!"
Just as he finished speaking, a thin man rolled down from his horse, crawled on all fours close to the ground, sniffed the air around him quickly with his nostrils, frowned from time to time, fanned himself with his hands, and closed his eyes to think carefully.
The other demon cultivators around consciously retreated a distance away, and even the Lord of Hanyuan City left the wind outlet to avoid hindering the use of this man's innate ability.
After a moment, the man looked happy and surprised, and pointed at a certain point strangely: "Lord City Lord, they are coming towards us!"
This time he didn't need to say anything, everyone noticed the movement in the sky.
It was a plain sword, without much decoration, and it looked particularly inconspicuous in the drizzle.
However, it was astonishingly fast. The raindrops had just fallen and had not yet touched the ground when the sword energy suddenly arrived and cut out a rainless world from the rain curtain.
The Lord of Hanyuan City focused his whole body and soul on the sword light. He clenched the trident in his big hands and stared vigilantly at the direction where the sword light was coming from. The muscles under his armor were already gathering strength. Without waiting for the guards in the rear to react, he roared and swung the trident to meet the attack.
The ancient trees that had grown in the mountains and forests for thousands of years were originally harder than gold and stone. However, they were instantly broken into pieces by a casual blow from the great man in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Several crows and sparrows died suddenly before they could even scream. Even the mountain in the distance was split in half!
The original dense forest was razed to the ground in an instant!
However, the sword light above his head was extremely fast and suddenly rose in the dark night sky. The hems of his blue and white dresses fluttered in the wind as he avoided the attack elegantly.
The next moment, there was a clear and sweet laugh from a young girl—
"You bastard, now it's time for your grandma to teach you a lesson!"
The Lord of Hanyuan City subconsciously raised his head to look for it, but unexpectedly a cold wind blew behind him, and three sharp ice cones appeared out of thin air and pierced his back. If he had not been protected by armor, he would have been pierced to death by now!
Before he could find the direction, he suddenly heard the screams of soldiers behind him.
But an ice spike appeared again at some point and pierced through the bodies of the three guards!
"Deploy a defensive formation and fire in unison!"
Ye Shubai and Wen Yun had already switched positions. She stood in front of the flying sword and continuously cast magic spells downwards, while Ye Shubai stood behind her and held her in his arms to prevent her from falling.
Strong winds mixed with increasingly violent rain were pouring down from the top of her head, and her wet hair stuck to her cheeks. She was too vain to care and just quickly drove the low-level magic that could be cast instantly to attack the magic cultivator below. However, no matter how much mental power she had, it would be exhausted eventually. Casting magic at such a frequency, even the magic stone could not replenish her energy in time.
Below, a pair of vertical eyes looked at the sky coldly, and then said something in a hoarse voice, and the secret guards beside it quickly stepped forward.
He shouted angrily, "They are stalling for time. Guards, go and catch those untouchables in front! I don't think they can get down!"
Wen Yun gritted her teeth. Most of the area magic with strong attack power was of the fire element. Not only could it not be cast in the heavy rain, she also couldn't chant this kind of large-scale magic with peace of mind on the unstable flying sword!
At this time, Ye Shubai pressed down on her head.
"It's almost daybreak."
He suddenly said this, and then took out a small sharp sword from the mustard seed bag.
Wen Yun saw that it looked familiar: "Is this your first sword?"
This was the sword he had before he took over the Phoenix Wood Sword. It was also the sword forged for him by the four top sword masters in the world in the past. Wen Yun was also by his side when the sword was forged.
Ye Shubai: "You and I have a soul bond, so this sword can be used."
Wen Yun took the sword swiftly, turned around and looked at him, then took out several magic stones from the mustard seed bag, smashed them into powder and threw them up. The rich magical aura immediately spread from the rain to the entire small world, making her feel as if she had returned to the magic world.
"Ye Shubai, you taught me swordsmanship, and I taught you magic. Now is the time to show your swordsmanship!"
The man responded in a clear voice.
"good."
With just one glance at each other, they both instantly understood each other's intentions.
The darkness before dawn is longest and deepest.
In the sudden rain, the demon cultivators split into two groups. One group rushed towards the open sea to capture people, while the other group stayed where they were and formed a formation and fired into the sky, intending to shoot down the two people in the sky.
At this moment, the dense rain gradually shrank and became smaller, and a hazy light was reflected from the sky, turning the entire sky light blue.
Dawn is the best time to practice sword skills. My senior brothers from the Qingliu Sword Sect were right.
"When the heaven and earth were first created, pure energy was born."
"The sun and the moon shine brightly and the mist rises."
The first sword was extremely slow and soft, as if it was a painting; while the other sword was extremely fast and sharp, so fierce that one could not grasp its position.
"Oh, Qingyun Sword Technique and Liulan Sword Technique!"
The Lord of Hanyuan City looked up at the two figures flying in the air and sneered disdainfully: "If you were in the Four Continents, I would be two points afraid of you. If you were Ye Shubai, I would be eight points afraid of you. But you are not Ye Shubai and there is no spiritual energy here, so why should I be afraid of you!"
After a roar, he ran forward with the three-pronged fork in both hands and attacked fiercely!
Wen Yun never liked to argue with brainless opponents. She just pursed her lips and smiled proudly.
Too silly and naive, who said that sword energy must use spiritual energy!
The rich magical elements in this space quickly gathered towards the tip of her sword. Wen Yun was completely immersed in the sword. The only thing in the world was the sword in her hand.
At this moment, a phoenix chirped from behind her.
A phoenix rising from the ashes, as if alive, flew out from the tip of Ye Shubai's sword.
The moment the phoenix flew out, Wen Yun stabbed his wrist, and a mysterious feeling suddenly arose. Suddenly, a ferocious golden-red dragon also appeared.
This is the sword intent condensed from magic elements!
The dragon and phoenix, carrying the same fiery aura, intertwined and flew towards the shocked Lord of Hanyuan City, almost burning the entire world.
"boom!"
The moment the Dragon and Phoenix Swords fell from the sky, a deep pit was blown out in the open space previously cleared by the Lord of Hanyuan City. Countless demon cultivators in the pit were killed on the spot, and only the Lord of Hanyuan City, who had a high level of cultivation, was still alive.
However, his condition was not good.
Not only was the armor on his body shattered into pieces, but even his strong body was cut by the sword, leaving countless criss-crossing bloody marks, and the whole person seemed to have been fished out of a pool of blood.
He raised his head and squinted, finally making out two figures fleeing in the backlight.
The girl in the moon-white gauze dress is breathtakingly beautiful, with frost-colored eyebrows and an unapproachable pride. The man next to her is...
In a trance, he vaguely remembered the owner of that face.
At that time, he was not yet the powerful lord of Hanyuan City, but just an insignificant pawn of the Black Snake Tribe. In that battle, he saved his life by pretending to be dead and hiding under the snow under the man's sword.
He is...
"Ye Shubai is back again!"
The Lord of Hanyuan City shouted this in despair, then fell to his knees!
After Wen Yun and Ye Shubai quickly dealt with the demon cultivators who were entangled with them from behind, they dragged their tired bodies and chased after the demon cultivator group in front.
"Brother Shen's strength is limited and he can't protect them. We have to be faster!"
Ye Shubai also used all his strength to propel the flying sword forward.
However, his mind kept recalling the sword intent that Wen Yun had just used.
He didn't think that Wen Yun's use of sword power to transform into a human form was such a shocking thing. After all, these two people were both top geniuses in the world. Their thinking circuits were always different from ordinary people, and only they could understand each other.
In other words, he and Wen Yun both thought: How could someone not be able to transform using sword power? / How could someone not be able to use forbidden spells
But what Ye Shubai couldn't understand was that he often used the phoenix wood sword, so it transformed into the Nirvana Fire Phoenix, but didn't Wen Yun often use a magic wand, so why did it transform into... such a monster
He finally couldn't help but ask: "Wen Yun, what exactly was the sword intent you just transformed into?"
Wen Yun answered as a matter of course: "A dragon, a fire dragon!"
She has been using the dragon bone staff for more than 500 years, and the magic she uses most is fire magic. Is there anything wrong with transforming into a majestic fire dragon
At this moment, the two of them have caught up with the demon cultivator in front, so it is inconvenient to talk in further details.
While Ye Shubai raised his sword to defeat the demon cultivator in front of him, he couldn't help but be distracted and think carefully.
Aren't dragons long-horned and slender? The one she transformed into just now looked more like a fat lizard with wings, right
Are all the dragons in Wen Yun’s hometown so ugly looking
Or... because her drawing skills are so poor, even the dragon she transformed into is completely out of shape
Fortunately, Wen Yun didn't know that Ye Shubai would also make up such things in his mind. If they fought, there was no guarantee that the sword in her hand that was chopped at the demon cultivator would not hit the head of the sword spirit next to him.
Her attention at this moment was completely attracted by the group of people who were protecting the demon cultivator from behind.
It's strange. The Lord of Hanyuan City was clearly being beaten in the back, but this group of people were still guarding this side so carefully. Moreover, these men in black didn't look like the guards of Hanyuan City, but more like secret guards.
So who is the person hiding behind this? Even more impressive than the Lord of Hanyuan City
Wen Yun just went over it in his mind once and quickly came up with the answer.
"Mo You is definitely hiding there!"
She no longer hesitated. After calculating Mo You's position, she quickly took out a leather scroll and tore it into pieces.
"This is the first time I've seen someone get beaten for the second time. I guess I wasn't strong enough last time!"
The moment the flying sword rose, the demon cultivators were about to catch up, but suddenly a strong golden holy light burst out from the back, followed by a painful roar.
The dark guards in black shouted, "Protect the young master!"
They all stopped and no longer cared about Wen Yun and Ye Shubai who had already flown away. Instead, they looked in shock at the area surrounded by the men in black.
A giant black python broke out of the ground, rolling back and forth in agony. Countless scales on its body were scraped off by the boulders. Its horrible tail was swinging and slapping wildly, and it actually knocked a secret guard next to it unconscious. The latter spit out a mouthful of blood and lay on the ground, his life or death unknown.
While the guards were searching for the young master, they raised their weapons and pointed them at the out-of-control black snake. The deputy general in the lead was sweating: "I'm afraid this giant python is out of control! To prevent it from hurting anyone, we have to kill it!"
They all obeyed the Black Snake Tribe, and knew that those with high status in the tribe would use the tribe's secret methods to tame black snakes and use them as their command, just as the Heavenly Wolf Tribe had the means to tame black wolves.
Of course, there are also examples of failed taming. The wild beasts that have regained their animal nature may lose control and hurt people. At this time, they can only be killed. There are probably tens of millions of giant pythons that died in the Black Snake Tribe.
Compared with snakes, humans are of course more important.
However, while waiting for the bullets to be fired, the secret guards shouted angrily, "How dare you point your weapons at the young master!"
"Young Master?"
The guards were a little puzzled. They didn't see a figure that looked like the young master for a long time. Finally, the deputy general realized something and took a step back involuntarily. He stared at the giant python on the ground. He opened his mouth but couldn't make any sound. There was great fear in his eyes.
Gradually, everyone realized a possibility and looked at the black python protected by the secret guards in disbelief, almost unable to breathe.
It is true that they are cultivators of evil. They have killed countless people and have no fear at all of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
But they are also human beings!
But what is that thing on the ground? It’s a giant python, a beast, a monster!
Just like the Flame Lion Tribe tamed lions as mounts, the Black Turtle Tribe tamed giant turtles as war pets, and the Black Snake Tribe has always only controlled black pythons, but it has never been heard that they can turn into snakes.
The heavily armored guards kept retreating, but they showed no intention of putting down their weapons.
The black python on the ground was also rolling wildly. Wen Yun's holy light punishment was originally heading towards him. It would be okay for other people to be hit, but for him, a person whose body and soul were not one, his entire soul was almost torn to pieces by such an attack.
pain!
it hurts!
He opened his mouth and spit out his scarlet tongue, then bit the person next to him fiercely.
"He's not the young master, he's a monster!"
There was a roar from the guards, but the bitten secret guard gritted his teeth and shouted with all his might: "Don't hurt the young master!"
All the secret guards were not afraid of life or death, and stood in front of the black python like a solid wall.
Mo You was unconscious. He was now trying his best to fight against the remaining light magic. That power was still raging in his soul. The familiar pain made his soul tremble, and finally he lost consciousness completely due to the pain.
The black python twisted in pain for the last time, and fell to the ground completely. Its cold vertical eyes gradually became empty.
The secret guards exclaimed: "Young Master!"
They were terrified. If anything happened to Mo You, none of the secret guards who were responsible for protecting him would survive!
Fortunately, it woke up again after a while.
"I'm fine."
The eyes gradually regained focus, and they didn't seem as cold as before, which made the secret guards feel that they had become much friendlier.
It seemed to have regained its calm and composure, slowly curling up into a ball, quietly looking at the group of guards in front of it.
The secret guards were surprised: "Young Master!"
The black python raised its huge head slightly and hissed.
"Go after those two sword cultivators. Kill the male immediately and capture the female."
Wen Yun and Ye Shubai fled very quickly.
After a long battle, the physical strength of the two was almost exhausted. After all, the Lord of Hanyuan City was a strong man in the Tribulation Period, and it was impossible for him to be killed in one blow by them with their limited strength. Once the demon cultivators behind them chased them again, let alone protecting the hundreds of survivors, they might not even be able to protect themselves.
The two were focused on escaping, and were also concerned about Shen Xinghai and the remnants of the people ahead, and had no idea that the Light Sanction had caused such a big commotion.
Sure enough, a sharp scream was heard from behind, and several men in black caught up with him.
Ye Shubai's spiritual power had been exhausted long ago, and he squeezed out almost every bit of spiritual power in his body to drive the flying sword. Wen Yun also had a splitting headache, and he crushed a piece of magic stone with trembling hands, but he was unable to make up for the empty spiritual sea of consciousness in a short period of time.
It’s so tragic. I have used up all my mental energy and can’t even replenish the blue bottle.
At this time, Ye Shubai's last bit of spiritual power was also exhausted.
The flying sword lost its balance and fell to the ground. Ye Shubai held Wen Yun in his arms with one hand, picked up the sword and ran forward quickly.
Wen Yun reluctantly threw him an agility spell to help him dodge the countless hidden weapons behind him.
She placed her head on Ye Shubai's shoulder and murmured drowsily, "Ye Shubai, I have a headache."
As he spoke, the hand that was holding Ye Shubai's neck gradually slid down, and his whole body became limp.
He held her tightly in his arms, his voice slightly panting: "We will soon reach the open sea."
The open sea was indeed right in front of them. The dark, inky water was surging, and there was no one on the shore. It seemed that Shen Xinghai had already taken all the remaining people on board the ship and entered the open sea. The two of them who were left behind were really... stranded here.
The demon cultivators were about to catch up, but they had already used up almost all their strength when fighting against the Lord of Hanyuan City.
After all, they are powerful people who have survived the tribulation and are standing on the entire continent, and their strength is greatly restricted in the demon world.
It's too difficult.
Ye Shubai pressed the back of Wen Yun's head and spoke in a low and gentle voice. It was the first time she heard him speak to her in such a gentle tone.
"You go to sleep first."
Wen Yun was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes, but her dantian was faintly hot. The power of the law of life and death that she had not yet mastered vaguely sensed something and began to respond to Ye Shubai beside her.
Wen Yun woke up instantly.
He was planning to sacrifice his own lifespan in exchange for his skills to take her across the open sea, just like he did five hundred years ago!
She used all her strength and bit Ye Shubai's shoulder to stop him: "No! There is still hope!"
The shaking hand took out several magic stones from the mustard seed sac and crushed them, greedily absorbing magic power from them, trying desperately to perform the levitation spell.
She couldn't bear to see him repeat the same mistake again.
It was his four masters who taught him so well and so uprightly that he became a true swordsman. He would always think of sacrificing himself when faced with an emergency. Even though he had been betrayed by the world and even though he was now in the demon world with his strength limited to a pitiful level, the first thing he thought of was sacrificing himself to protect her.
Wen Yun felt extremely sad.
It was her fault that she had not had the time to teach her sword spirit bad things. If he had a bit of Charmander's cunning, he wouldn't be so honest.
With trembling hands, she barely managed to perform a levitation technique, allowing Ye Shubai to rise into the air with her.
However, just as they drifted above the open sea, Wen Yun could no longer hold on, and fell down while hugging Ye Shubai.
She buried her head in Ye Shubai's chest and said hurriedly: "At worst, we can elope together!"
She held a random teleportation scroll tightly in her hand, thinking that she was being teleported to a strange place with him again.
As long as she is still there, Ye Shubai will no longer need to sacrifice himself, because the death-fearing magician Wen will always leave a way for himself.
"A good master will always protect his sword spirit!"
At this moment, a long, loud roar suddenly came from the sea.
"We monks will fight until we die!"
Shen Xinghai, dressed in tattered clothes, was stepping on a piece of seemingly ordinary rotten wood as he walked over the waves from the sea!
