Chapter 210: Chapter 210: A Burst of Anger for a Beauty (Request for Monthly Ticket)
Outside Dongluo Pass.
Dark clouds covered the sun, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the wild wind howled.
Boom—!
The Black Flood Dragon’s body thrashed, its low roar echoing across heaven and earth. Faced with such a ferocious exotic beast, Ouyang Ping could only keep dodging, in a completely disheveled state.
In front of the city wall ruins.
Many experts also fought back and forth, with no clear winner.
Universal Literary Vajra’s strength was above that of Duanmu Xinghua, and having acquired the Vajra Secret Skill, his power had advanced by leaps and bounds. Even without using the Vajra Secret Skill yet, he had already suppressed Duanmu Xinghua.
Clearly, Universal Literary Vajra’s intention was to hold Duanmu Xinghua back, giving the Ghost Swordsman enough time to kill the Demon Sect Sect Hierarch!
“Yi, quickly go and save the Sect Hierarch!”
Upon seeing the Ghost Swordsman rush into the pass, Lin Tianhai immediately shouted.
At this moment, Yi Daoyun, who was dealing with Su Lian and Su Yue, was clearly the only Grandmaster who could spare a moment.
“Alright.”
Yi Daoyun took a deep breath, his longsword slashing through the air in front of him.
“Swoosh!”
Sword Light like a rainbow!
Carrying immense momentum, it shot straight towards Su Lian and Su Yue.
But the strength of those two was not simple; both of them formed seals, and black and white light surged from a distance.
“Boom!”
The moment the Seal Technique collided with the Sword Light, there was an immediate thunderous roar, forming a gigantic light column that reached the sky.
“Tat tat tat tat…..”
Yi Daoyun, fighting alone against two Second Qi Grandmasters, continuously stepped back, realizing instantly that these two had not been using their full strength at first, merely wanting to hold him back.
The many experts of the Demon Sect saw this scene and were all extremely anxious.
“Jiang Renyi is bound to die today; does old ghost Jiang still refuse to show himself?”
Blissful Child sneered, raising his hand and striking forward with a palm.
Lin Tianhai’s spear light barely managed to hold off the attack. Unlike the others who were exerting little effort, Blissful Child evidently had a deadly intent and did not hold back in his moves.
Inside and outside the pass, chaos reigned, with countless figures crisscrossing.
Suddenly, the area within the pass quieted down.
Many were startled, their gazes drifting towards the inside of the pass where dust rose, obstructing everyone’s view.
The clash of Qi Mechanisms also began to weaken, as if the battle inside had ended.
“What on earth is happening?”
Everyone’s hearts raced.
Had the Demon Sect Sect Hierarch Jiang Renyi died utterly, or had the Ghost Swordsman’s sword broken through Dongluo Pass today?
“Quick! Launch the signal flare.”
Seeing this, Duanmu Xinghua could no longer contain himself.
Tan Yun, who had been hiding in the distance, quickly took out the prepared signal flare.
“Swoosh!”
The signal flare flew into midair, releasing red flames, the entire sky turning spectacularly colorful.
“Jiang Renyi is dead!”
Feng Lingyue’s eyes sparkled from afar, “The Ghost Swordsman’s Sword Dao is indeed formidable!”
Dai Danshu took a shuddering breath, murmuring lowly, “Ancestor, what do we do now?”
“Kill!”
Feng Lingyue’s lips parted, uttering a single word.
The next moment!
Feng Lingyue leaped forward, charging straight towards Dongluo Pass.
“The Demon Sect Sect Hierarch Jiang Renyi has been slain, you Demon Sect villains, will you not surrender!?”
Feng Lingyue’s True Qi circulated, his voice thundering across heaven and earth.
“Jiang Renyi is dead, Ancestor Feng has made a move.”
“Flatten Dongluo Pass! Eradicate the Demon Sect!”
……
With Feng Lingyue’s intervention, countless observing experts revealed themselves and rushed towards Dongluo Pass to join the battle.
In an instant, the battle that had been evenly matched turned into a one-sided affair.
“Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop…”
However, just at this moment, the ground began to tremble. Looking in the direction of the sound, a thick cloud of smoke rolled in from the distance, faintly revealing the presence of an army!
“The Black Armored Army of the Demon Sect.”
Chen Ayi’s complexion changed slightly.
Martial arts masters are not immortals; they too have moments when they exhaust their strength and perish. Facing this endless, dark mass of army, they would eventually be worn out to death.
Especially the Black Armored Army of the Demon Sect. Although not numerous, each soldier was an elite, cultivated by the sect through vast amounts of wealth and resources.
The dust settled.
The Black Armored Army slowly came into everyone’s view.
Their armor flickered with a cold gleam, and the weapons in their hands emitted a chilling, murderous aura. Their movements were uniform, striking terror into the hearts of onlookers.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
The expressions of the Black Armored soldiers were cold as ice. They uttered a deep chant, their voices merging and stirring the winds and clouds.
“This Sect Hierarch’s ambition is not small,”
Luo Chongyang furrowed his brows, muttering to himself.
When Jiang Shang led the Demon Sect, there was also a mighty army stationed at Dongluo Pass. Later, this army rebelled, but it was quickly obliterated by the Pingyang Marquis, and even the chief of the Xuanwu Sect was beheaded at that time.
This Black Armored Army today was many times stronger than the disorganized troops of the past!
In an instant, the area outside Dongluo Pass was filled with an atmosphere of oppressive silence, with the sounds of killing echoing through heaven and earth.
The martial arts masters, who fought under the banner of exorcising demons and defending the Dao, were startled and began retreating unconsciously.
At this moment, Feng Lingyue did not step back but moved forward, laughing, “Gentlemen, there’s no need to panic. Jiang Renyi has been slain by the Ghost Swordsman. The Demon Sect is like a dragon without a head, how could they possibly be our match? The wealth and martial arts of the thousand-year-old Demon Sect within Dongluo Pass are now within our grasp.”
Feng Lingyue’s words instantly boosted the confidence of those present, and many eyes gleamed with greed.
“Feng Lingyue!?”
Ouyang Ping was burning with rage.
The Five Poison was originally a faction within the Demon Sect. Following Feng Lingyue’s emergence and his disagreements with Jiang Shang, he led the Five Poison out of the Demon Sect.
The once thriving Demon Sect suffered a significant blow and subsequently faced constant opposition from the Zhenyi Sect, to which the Five Poison had allied.
Now, when the Demon Sect was in the throes of peril, he took advantage of their weakness, further fueling his intent to obliterate the sect.
Feng Lingyue looked at the members of the Demon Sect and shouted loudly, “Now, the Demon Sect is nothing but dry bones in the tomb, ready to turn to wood. If you do not surrender now, do you wish to be obliterated along with the Demon Sect?”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
Even facing a renowned Grandmaster like Feng Lingyue, the Black Armored Army did not show the slightest panic, instead, they raised their arms and chanted even louder.
“What about you? Do you also want to turn into ashes along with the Demon Sect?”
Feng Lingyue looked toward Duanmu Xinghua, Lin Tianhai, and others, speaking coldly, “Considering you are also personalities of some standing, why would you die for the sake of the Jiang family?”
“How dare you!”
Duanmu Xinghua’s eyes flashed fiercely, with her true qi surging powerfully.
Lin Tianhai’s expression was sullen, and he remained silent.
Feng Lingyue snorted coldly, “Since that’s the case, there’s nothing more to say.”
With that, Feng Lingyue’s figure flashed, speeding towards the main camp of the Black Armored Army, seemingly intending to capture the commander of the Black Armored Army directly.
“Kill!”
Seeing this, many martial arts masters behind Feng Lingyue, their eyes bloodshot, rushed towards the Demon Sect’s masters.
In the distance, the figure of a man concealing his presence emerged.
“Once the Ghost Swordsman and Zhao Qingmei are both critically injured from their fight, that will be the best moment for me to strike.”
This person was Yuan Feng from the Sealing Demon Platform.
Even though the qi mechanism inside the fort began to stabilize, he still did not rush to make his move.
The key to hunting prey lay in knowing how to endure patiently, waiting for the decisive moment for a sure hit.
At that moment, not only could he cut down the Ghost Swordsman and resolve the crisis facing the Demon Sect, but he could also capture Zhao Qingmei and seize the “Nine Nether Purgatory Demon Scripture.”
Thinking this, Yuan Feng’s heart ignited with fervor.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; few know the next line, unaware of the slingshot beneath the tree, in this world, who knows whether he is the mantis, the cicada, the oriole, or the slingshot.
……
Inside the fort, the air was filled with swirling dust.
Zhao Qingmei’s lips parted slightly, her expression one of astonishment, lost in a daze.
The man before her…
Her own husband…
Was the infamous Ghost Swordsman.
Was it the longing that clouded her mind, or was it a case of Zhuangzi dreaming he was a butterfly, trapped in a ridiculous dream?
An Jing did not speak. He extended his palm and gently pulled the woman in front of him into his embrace.
A warmth spread through them, that solid and reliable chest made Zhao Qingmei gradually go limp, a slight sourness swirling around her nose.
Neither of them spoke, just gazing into each other’s eyes, as if they had many things to say but did not know where to begin.
At that moment, silence was more eloquent than words.
After a long while,
Zhao Qingmei finally came back to her senses, remembering something. She struggled out of An Jing’s embrace, her heart aching as she looked at An Jing’s arm.
“You’re injured.”
“…”
An Jing shook his head, he wanted to comfort his wife, but even before words could leave his mouth, he saw Zhao Qingmei pull out a jade pendant and the rounded color of the elixir from her sleeve fell into her palm.
It was a precious pill.
An Jing chuckled softly, “It’s just a superficial wound, there’s no need for such valuable medicine.”
“In my eyes, you deserve the very best.”
Zhao Qingmei, holding the pill, gently pushed it into An Jing’s mouth, her eyes seemingly containing autumn waters.
An Jing gently bit her jade finger.
“The best thing is having you as my wife.”
“Is it?”
Zhao Qingmei asked softly, “Is that really what you think in your heart?”
An Jing earnestly said, “Of course.”
“But someone not only deceived me, but also opposed me at every turn, and today even attempted to murder his own wife, to sever his wife’s head from her body…”
“With such actions, wouldn’t that make him a heartless person?”
Zhao Qingmei pushed An Jing away, turned around, and looked towards the ruins of the Dongluo Tower, yet the corners of her mouth slightly curled upwards.
An Jing stepped forward, grasped Zhao Qingmei’s fragrant shoulders hurriedly saying, “I learned from Tan Yun that you were trapped beneath the Sealing Demon Well. I immediately hurried over without stopping…”
If he had known Zhao Qingmei would come out from the Sealing Demon Well, why would he have gathered experts to rush to Dongluo Pass?
Zhao Qingmei turned around and asked, “Did you rush here to pledge your loyalty?”
An Jing: “…….”
Zhao Qingmei chuckled out loud, “What would you say your situation is now?”
An Jing’s gaze was intense as he looked at Zhao Qingmei, “A rush to crown and anger on behalf of the beauty.”
Zhao Qingmei’s heart trembled, feeling as if her heart was pounding chaotically like a deer.
“If I had known your identity sooner, why would I have hidden it with so much difficulty?”
“…”
You could never have known earlier.
“I had compelling reasons.”
“Reasons, what reasons?”
“The reasons are gone now.”
“I hope that whatever reasons you have in the future, you can tell me.”
Zhao Qingmei, her eyes deep with affection, she did not probe further.
“Okay.”
An Jing nodded vigorously, his fingertips touching that tender skin, saying, “You also kept it hidden from me with much difficulty. I have always had one doubt in my heart, why did you marry me?”
Zhao Qingmei was the Sect Hierarch of the Demon Sect, why would she marry a seemingly ordinary doctor like himself?
Could it be she saw his virtues with just one look?
Zhao Qingmei smiled sweetly, blinking she said, “You figure it out.”
An Jing’s mind raced rapidly, but if he hadn’t figured it out after such a long time, how could he do so now in such a short moment?
Zhao Qingmei softly said, “Brother, why not join the Demon Sect?”
An Jing took a deep breath, and said, “Now I can only join the Demon Sect temporarily.”
Zhao Qingmei raised her eyebrows, her beautiful eyes studying An Jing, “Why do you say temporarily?”
An Jing looked up, gazing at the vast and expansive heaven and earth.
“This ultimately is not a long-term solution.”
“Indeed the world is vast, Dongluo Pass is indeed too small.”
Zhao Qingmei’s eyes sparkled with a glint.
“Let’s go, let’s give them an explanation.”
Outside Dongluo Pass, the intense sounds of fighting continued, An Jing put on his mask once again.
The multitude of experts he had invited were all confronting the experts of the Demon Sect outside the pass. It wasn’t necessary to mention others; these people certainly needed a clear explanation.
Zhao Qingmei nodded. She did not speak, merely following behind An Jing.
“Everyone, stop!”
When An Jing arrived atop the ruins, a commanding shout echoed between heaven and earth.
“Is that the Ghost Swordsman!?”
“It seems Jiang Renyi has already been executed.”
“Wait, who is that woman behind him? Why can’t I see her face clearly?”
….
With the appearance of the Ghost Swordsman, the atmosphere boiled over, but soon everyone noticed a woman in red behind him. She had an extraordinary demeanor, yet her face seemed to be obscured by a mysterious qi mechanism.
“Sect Hierarch!”
The members of the Demon Sect, upon seeing their leader appear, were overjoyed beyond measure, immediately filling with confusion as to why the Sect Hierarch would follow behind the Ghost Swordsman.
As Feng Lingyue, who was preparing to head to the Black Armored Army’s camp to slay Qin Bin, the head of the Xuanwu Sect, his body froze, his eyes full of puzzlement.
In an instant, everyone ceased fighting and turned to look over.
“Everyone!”
An Jing took a deep breath and said, “Let’s end today’s battle here. I plan to retreat into the Demon Sect.”
The declaration rang like thunder, resounding clearly in everyone’s ears.
Su Lian: “……”
Su Yue: “……”
Feng Lingyue: “……”
Jilei Youth: “……”
Everyone was stunned at that moment, their eyes filled with disbelief, hardly daring to believe their ears.
The Ghost Swordsman was actually going to retreat from Jianghu!?
Hadn’t he just said he would slay the Sect Hierarch of the Demon Sect? Why was he now joining the Demon Sect?
Chen Ayi, gripping the longsword in his hands, roared, “Senior, have you been coerced by a demon!?”
Not just Chen Ayi, many Jianghu experts present were indignant, obviously unwilling to accept what was happening before their eyes.
“Sect Hierarch Jiang Renyi has already fled, and Jiang Shang is no longer among the Demon Sect. Everything happening now has nothing to do with the current Sect Hierarch.”
An Jing looked at the crowd, then picked up a flying arrow from the ground and said, “To give everyone an explanation, from now on, there will be no Ghost Swordsman in Jianghu
“Snap!”
An Jing applied a slight force with one hand, and the crisp sound of the arrow breaking into two echoed.
Silence!
All around Dongluo Pass was eerily quiet, so quiet that the sound of a silver needle falling to the ground could be heard.@@novelbin@@
Luo Chongyang’s heart pounded like thunder, transmitting a message, “Are you really planning to retreat from Jianghu?”
“Amitabha.”
Universal Literary Vajra clasped his hands together and sighed lightly.
“This….”
Su Yue was also baffled, unable to comprehend. How could such a renowned Sword Immortal announce his withdrawal from Jianghu today, catching everyone by surprise?
Ouyang Ping, Duanmu Xinghua, Lin Tianhai, Yi Daoyun, and many other experts from the Demon Sect, upon seeing this, were naturally both shocked and delighted.
Not only did this battle not lead to the annihilation of the Demon Sect, but it also resulted in the Ghost Swordsman joining their ranks—a truly great piece of news!
“Jiang Renyi is not here, Jiang Shang is also not here……”
Chen Ayi felt somewhat dispirited.
Jiang Shang was his father’s murderer. Now that this murderer was no more, what was the point in trampling over the Demon Sect?
The Jilei Youth’s expression changed unpredictably, his mind pondering unknown thoughts.
And the most difficult to accept were individuals like Feng Lingyue, who had been ready to kick someone when they were down to gain benefits. Now, each of them looked dumbfounded, as the Ghost Swordsman not only did not trample the Demon Sect but even planned to join it.
Feng Lingyue’s thoughts raced, his expression turning extremely unsightly. Could it be that from the beginning, this was all a grand scheme set by the Ghost Swordsman and the Demon Sect, aimed at luring them out?
“The Ghost Swordsman is in collusion with the Demon Sect, setting a trap today to eliminate all of us who bear grudges against the Demon Sect! Everyone, attack together and crush the Demon Sect!”
At this moment, someone raised a doubt.
Whoosh——
Such words swept through the crowd like a storm, raising a colossal wave in their minds, their expressions drastically changing.
If the Ghost Swordsman and the Demon Sect were indeed in cahoots, they truly faced a life-and-death situation today.
