There are still demon cultivators causing trouble in the East and West Continents, and many sects have sent people to support them and train their own incompetent disciples.
Especially in Dongzhou, there are many demon cultivators roaming around, but Jiang Si, the head of the Jiang family, ran to the front line of the open sea with a knife in hand, not afraid of death at all.
"Jiang Si is a very brave boy. He even draws his sword and rushes to the front. How can we sword cultivators lose to those knife cultivators?"
Zhu Erchong said this, and suddenly raised his sword and pointed it at a distance, saying happily to Bao Pilong beside him: "Hey, look, we've arrived at Zhongjie Island!"
However, the expected tense atmosphere on the Middle Boundary Island did not exist. As for the heroic scenes that the two had imagined before they arrived, such as "Jiang Si and the demon cultivator drew their swords against each other and were defeated in the end. When he was on the verge of death, two flying swords suddenly came to rescue him. He cried and praised, 'It turned out that it was the sword cultivator brothers who saved my life'", none of them happened.
Zhongjie Island is deserted, and there are only some simple stone houses and wooden sheds built behind the city wall. Not only is there no one stationed there to patrol, but everyone is retreating towards the four continents
Zhu Erchong and Bao Pilong hesitated and walked into the room where the sound came from, only to see Jiang Si and Qian Lishen sitting face to face, seemingly arguing about something.
Seeing the two sword cultivators coming in, they fell silent at the same time and looked at them strangely: "What are you two doing here?"
Zhu Erchong and Bao Pilong had been used to living in poverty, so they did not mind the simple nature of the house. Instead, they found a seat on their own and sat down next to them in a familiar manner.
"We are here to help you kill the demon cultivators. We are sword cultivators with chivalrous spirits. We should draw our swords when it is time to do so." Zhu Erchong said as he looked around: "But I heard earlier that a large number of demon cultivators have invaded Zhongjie Island... Where are the demon cultivators?"
Qian Lishen moved to the side expressionlessly, further away from Zhu Erchong, and said in a numb tone: "They were killed by Sect Leader Ye and Junior Sister Wen."
After hearing this answer, even though Zhu Erchong and Bao Pilong were already used to Wen Yun's abnormality, they were almost choked and asked in amazement: "Is that all?"
"Yeah." Qian Lishen responded, and said faintly: "She asked us to withdraw and planned to stay behind to kill the immortal."
The more I listen, the more outrageous it seems. How come even immortals have appeared
Bao Pilong laughed innocently and asked in confusion, "What nonsense are you talking about? By the way, where did Junior Sister Wen and the other two go? Before I came here, I thought there would be nothing good to eat on Zhongjie Island, so I went to the restaurant and packed a table of delicious food. You two should go and call them back to eat meat and drink wine."
As he spoke, he took out wine and meat from his mustard seed bag.
"Junior Sister Wen found out the news. It turns out that the reason why the demon cultivators are so unscrupulous is because they have asked for help from an immortal." Jiang Si stroked the handle of the knife without looking up, and his voice was also low: "She wants to go with Master Ye to kill the immortal. Now she has set up a formation outside for three days."
He recounted in detail what had happened three days ago. Bao Pilong and Zhu Erchong smiled nonchalantly at first, but as they listened, the smiles disappeared from their faces.
The atmosphere in the room became stagnant and heavy without anyone noticing.
In a trance, the plate of colorful braised pork elbow in Bao Pilong's hand slipped quietly and was about to fall onto the gray ground.
At this moment, a red lightning came flying over and brushed past Bao Pilong's trouser leg very nimbly. With a "ah-woo" sound, he caught the elbow steadily.
Unfortunately, it was received with the mouth.
However, no one cared about the elbow. Everyone in the room looked up at the girl who was walking briskly. They saw that she was smiling and bowed casually: "Hey, two senior brothers actually brought such a big table of goodies. I didn't go out to greet you. This time it's my fault."
Wen Yun casually moved a chair over to sit down, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ye Shubai first, then poured himself another cup and drank it all, then smiled and said to everyone, "I have finished setting up the formation, and I saw them almost leaving outside just now, so it's almost time for you to leave too."
Zhu Erchong, who was about to invite her to eat meat, suddenly looked up and stopped talking.
In the end, it was Qian Lishen who spoke first: "Jiang Si and I plan to stay here and fight the enemy together with you."
He sat upright, but his eyes glanced quietly at Wen Yun, waiting for her reply.
Wen Yun did not speak, but Ye Shubai said calmly: "You guys go, now the East and West continents are in chaos, why not go to those two continents to eliminate the demons."
He and Wen Yun were both cold-hearted people, and even at this time, they were still careful to take their self-esteem into consideration, and never said bluntly, "You are too weak, you are no match for the Ascended Immortal."
But how could they not know this
They did not know Ye Shubai's strength, but their peers knew very well how terrifying Wen Yun was. They also knew what an astonishing talent it was to form a Nascent Soul at the age of sixteen.
Jiang Si held the knife tightly and stood up suddenly. He gritted his teeth and said, "I, Jiang Si, will never abandon my fellow Taoists and live in disgrace..."
“This is not abandonment!”
Unexpectedly, the person who interrupted Jiang Si was Zhu Erchong.
He solemnly held down Jiang Si's hand that was about to draw his sword, and pointed out the truth in a serious tone: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you and I are only at the Jindan stage. If we stay here, we will not only fail to help them, but will only cause trouble."
When Bao Pilong heard this, he looked at his best friend in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to suggest abandoning Junior Sister Wen and Senior Brother Ye and evacuate
Wen Yun was very happy that Zhu Erchong had become smarter today. He raised his hand to take the wine cups, filled them one by one, and smiled easily: "We will go first this time, and you can come together next time. Definitely next time!"
She raised her glass and clinked it with everyone with a grim expression.
"This will serve as a practice for everyone's return journey. Everyone, we will definitely meet you again someday!"
…
Jiang Si, holding a knife, stood at the edge of Zhongjie Island and was reluctant to leave. Qian Lishen, who was standing beside him, also clasped his hands across his chest, looking worried.
Zhu Erchong stepped forward and pulled his wrist: "Brother Jiang, it's time to go. Don't let Junior Sister Wen rush you."
"You are her fellow disciple!" Jiang Si, who had been silent for a long time, finally exploded. He slapped Zhu Erchong's hand away, frowned, and cursed: "We are all dozens of years older than her! Why are we hiding in the back and letting a little girl gamble with her life! If an immortal really comes to kill us, none of us will be able to escape. She is using her own life to save ours! How dare you take a step back!"
Qian Lishen stood still and said nothing. Even Bao Pilong, who had the best relationship with Zhu Erchong, stopped speaking for him and looked at him with complicated eyes.
Zhu Erchong wiped the saliva off his face and was silent for a moment. Instead of being annoyed, he laughed.
He raised his head and looked at the other three people, with an uncontrollable smug look on his face, and slowly cursed with a smile: "You know nothing!"
When he was about to be beaten, Zhu Erchong looked around, made sure that Wen Yun and Ye Shubai were not there, and waved at the three of them, motioning them to come over.
Under their suspicious gazes, Zhu Erchong pointed to the east from a distance and whispered, "There is a very hidden reef cave over there. My junior brother Bao and I accidentally fell into it last time. We found that it was usually covered by sea water, but the cave inside was not flooded. It can hide more than ten people... I guarantee that Junior Sister Wen doesn't know."
You bunch of idiots, do you know what military strategy and tactics are
Wen Yun really didn't know.
At this moment, she stood side by side with Ye Shubai on the high wall. After watching Zhu Erchong and his group fly away, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned around, looked towards the other side of the sea, and sighed, "The Eastern Xuan Realm is still tracking Senior Su Yuan. He must restrain his aura and hide his whereabouts. Otherwise, if he is tracked down here, I'm afraid the entire cultivation world will be wiped out by the Eastern Xuan Realm."
A group of pigs who know they are going to be sent to the slaughterhouse may of course rise up in rebellion. In order to eliminate this hidden danger, the Dongxuan Realm is very likely to take shady measures.
For people in the upper realm, it would be a piece of cake to eliminate a declining lower realm.
"It's okay. Don't ask others for everything. Only the sword in your hand is your own reliance." After Ye Shubai said this calmly, he saw Wen Yun frowning slightly. He was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and added in a gentle voice.
"And you."
His trust in her was far deeper than the sword in his hand, so when facing the catastrophe of life and death.
Wen Yun smiled, looked at him, and warned: "You must be extremely careful when you lure Dao Jie into the formation this time. If you are defeated, remember not to force yourself. Escape is the most important thing."
She needed to stay on the island to activate these countless formations, and the task of luring the enemy could only be left to Ye Shubai.
The little fire dragon had already transformed into its original form, flapping its pair of fleshy wings, causing waves and sand to fly. Its golden red eyes shone like gems, "Alright, alright, I'll protect this stupid swordsman. Are you still worried that he won't come back?"
Wen Yun did not argue with the little fire dragon as he did in the past. Instead, he looked up at Ye Shubai, opened his lips, and finally said very solemnly: "You must come back safely. I will stand here waiting for you."
Her hands were hidden behind her back in her sleeves, her fingers intertwined and clasped together so tightly that they turned white.
Wen Yun seldom spoke to him in such a serious tone in the past, and this time Ye Shubai did not agree in a serious manner as he did in the past, but remained silent from beginning to end.
This silent swordsman just looked at her quietly, then took a step forward, raised his hand, and gently placed it on the top of Heishun's head in front of her surprised gaze, and touched it very tenderly.
Finally, Ye Shubai took out a bag of snacks wrapped in oil paper from the mustard seed sac, which was also the last bag he kept.
He handed it to Wen Yun and reminded her calmly as usual: "Bought it from the store you like. Don't eat too much at one time."
Without saying another word, he flew gracefully onto Charmander's back, leaving her with only his receding figure.
The master once said that the profession of sword cultivator is prone to accidents, and every time before going out, one must leave a suicide note to the people closest to him, in case he is killed one day, so that the inheritance can be properly distributed.
He didn't stay.
Because someone is waiting for him, he will definitely come back.
The pressure from heaven and earth in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the speed of the little fire dragon's wings flapping gradually began to slow down. It cursed softly, and a small cluster of flames spewed out of its nostrils, and continued to fly towards the gloomy demon world.
There was a beam of light over there, which looked very much like the golden light that came when the catastrophe came that day.
The little dragon's wings seemed to be weighed down by a thousand pounds. Every time it flapped, it was almost like holding up a mountain. It was so difficult that it could not move. Finally, it realized something was wrong and reminded nervously: "He found us!"
Ye Shubai patted its wings to comfort it, and was too calm to seem ready to fight: "Then let's fight."
Daojie did discover that Ye Shubai was indeed there.
The pressure from heaven and earth suddenly gathered in the direction of Ye Shubai, increasing with every passing moment. It was so powerful that it seemed like a god, causing people to feel so scared that they wanted to kneel down.
A thunderous sound resounded between heaven and earth—
"How dare you, a lowly person, bully me? Kneel down and beg for mercy. Offer your power of the laws of heaven and earth, and I will consider sparing your life!"
Ye Shubai remained silent. The wooden sword in his hand began to emit a light golden light, and a hot aura suddenly emanated from him.
Accompanied by the clear cry of a phoenix, the sword intent carrying the power of life and death transformed into a gorgeous phoenix bathed in fire, soaring in the sky and suddenly rushing towards the golden light.
However, after the golden light flashed, the phoenix instantly extinguished and turned into ashes that scattered throughout the sky and earth, without any power to fight at all!
Daojie took a step forward, and the golden light that seemed to be thousands of miles away seemed to shrink into a few inches and suddenly appeared in front of Ye Shubai.
"Oh, you lowly people dare to offend me, you have no idea what the world is like after you ascend!"
The little fire dragon was frightened. It knew Ye Shubai and Wen Yun's plan. It also knew that Ye Shubai needed to fight with Dao Jie for two moves before escaping. This way, he could lure Dao Jie to the Middle Boundary Island and kill him. But now it seems that the gap between the two is really too big. Whether he can ascend to heaven or not, this is an inconceivable chasm!
There was no panic in Ye Shubai's eyes, as if he had already anticipated that his sword intent would not be able to hurt Dao Jie. He swung the wooden sword in his hand again, and this time he slashed out three sword intents in a row!
Daojie initially looked at Ye Shubai with interest, as if he was watching an ant struggling, but after watching him he seemed a little surprised.
"Why is there a faint breath of heaven and earth source power in the sword of a lowly person like you? Oh, right... I heard that girl is also from this world. How did you cultivate the heaven and earth source power?"
Ye Shubai did not answer, but slashed out with sword after sword!
When one of the sword intentions fell on Dao Jie and left a shallow blood mark on the back of his hand, his brows slowly frowned and his eyes became cold and ruthless.
It's interesting to watch ants struggle, but when an ant boldly bites you, don't blame him for being rude.
Golden light emerged from Daojie's hands, as dazzling as the scorching sun. He lightly pressed down towards Ye Shubai with his palm.
The hairs on the little fire dragon's forehead stood up, and it twisted its fat body quickly, fleeing backwards with Ye Shubai. The murderous intent behind it was getting closer and closer. At this moment, it only hated itself for eating too much, as if it was not flying as fast as before.
At this moment, Ye Shubai said coldly: "Xiaohong, I'll do it."
As he spoke, he had already thrown the wooden sword, and the little fire dragon quickly turned into a pig without thinking. Ye Shubai flew up on the sword, and with his long arms, he held the little fire dragon in his arms.
The man and the pig flew towards Zhongjie Island as fast as the wind.
He is the fastest swordsman in the world, no one's sword is faster than his!
Dao Jie was chasing slowly from behind, and at first it seemed like he was joking. But after Ye Shubai dodged both of his palms, there was a hint of impatience in his eyes.
"How dare you escape, you mere beast!"
The power of heaven and earth emerged from his palm, transforming into an overwhelming pressure that slapped Ye Shubai's back!
The swordsman's back trembled violently, and a cloud of blood spilled into the sky. He was teetering on the sword but still did not fall off. His speed increased instead of slowing down, and he was about to fly to the island ahead.
Daojie really wasn't in the mood to play the cat-and-mouse game this time. He used all his cultivation to slap the white shadow in front of him several times, then stretched out his hand and grabbed it.
"Don't run away, come back to me!"
The hand holding the little fire dragon slowly loosened, and at the last moment, the swordsman threw it towards the direction of the Middle Boundary Island.
After a brief moment of unconsciousness, it finally came to its senses and flapped its wings desperately to fly back. However, the pressure from the ascender frightened it so much that it could not move, and no matter how it struggled, it was useless.
The dragon cried out in despair, "Xiaobai!"
