Chapter 20 Chapter 20 "You are really moved!"...
The old lady who was rescued by Chen Qian turned around and muttered "the gods appeared" as she walked into the brightly lit Xizhou Pavilion.
It was daytime, but because the vines blocked out the sun, the area around Xizhou Pavilion for half a mile was as dark as night.
The waiters in Xizhouguan are ghosts, so from the perspective of ordinary people, this "inconspicuous" teahouse only has a few dim lights on when it opens at night.
But at this moment, Xizhou Pavilion was brightly lit.
The old lady didn't notice that after she went in, the fleeing crowd passed by Xizhou Pavilion, as if they had never seen the shelter with its door wide open.
The old lady walked in.
You can't tell from the outside, but once you step inside, you'll be greeted by a sense of luxury: gilded bronze crane candlesticks, shark silk curtains covering the floor, exquisite carpets with auspicious cloud patterns, and the aroma of fresh flowers and burning spices lingering around your nose.
The old lady was dazzled and a little nervous. She looked around carefully and found something strange.
Quiet, too quiet.
The sounds from outside can still be heard, which makes this place seem so unusual.
The old lady squinted her eyes and looked around: "Is anyone there? Old lady, I'm coming in."
No one answered.
The light flickered slightly, and it startled the old lady.
She patted her chest, feeling hairy all over, and swallowed hard, making a "gulp" sound in the silence.
In a place where the old lady couldn't see, dozens of servants from Xizhou Pavilion huddled in a dim room. The old man's hoarse voice came from the lobby. They trembled and looked at each other, but they all remembered the order of Boss Chen who suddenly appeared not long ago. No one dared to respond.
The other room next door was empty. If Yao Ning was still there, he would be able to see a room full of crowded ghost waiters. Each of them was trembling, ten times more frightened than the ordinary people next door.
Boss Chen stood in front of this group of ghost waiters, his ordinary face expressionless, a drop of sweat sliding down his forehead.
…
Outside Xizhou Pavilion.
Yao Ning and Shen Qian stood in the void, both with solemn expressions, waiting for the final enemy to appear.
"You said..." Yao Ning said calmly, "Will it hurt if I remove the Dao Couple Seal?"
It is painful to withdraw the notice from the fairy world and the Nine Netherworld because it is disrespectful to ghosts and gods.
Chen Qian said: "Don't worry, the dead don't feel pain."
"Brother Chen is such a handsome immortal, I wonder what he would look like as a corpse?" Yao Ning sneered, "Probably a beautiful corpse too."
Shen Qian thought of something and lowered his eyes.
A sound of breaking air was heard.
Both of them were nervous and swung their natal swords at the same time, slashing down with the same sword moves.
Two broken vines fell from the sky as if they had lost their lives.
The high vine wall in the distance collapsed in an instant, the vines retreated into the ground, sunlight shone on the earth again, and the crowd began to shout.
The moment the sunlight appeared, the flow of spiritual energy in Yao Ning's body accelerated, and the Yangyan Heart Technique and the Golden Crow in the Sky resonated with each other, like a sweet rain in a dry land.
Yao Ning stood high in the sky with a wide view. The noise of the crowd was still there, but few people dared to walk out of the place where the high vine wall once rose.
There is no wind.
But Yao Ning saw that all the trees in the city and on the mountains were bent in one direction, like subjects paying homage to their king.
Yao Ning and Shen Qian turned in that direction at the same time. She didn't blink, and her fingers holding the Fuguang sword turned white with force.
Three figures slowly walked out of the void and stopped opposite at a distance of ten feet.
The leader was tall and strong, wearing a bright black armor and a white mask with thin eyebrows and red lips. The mask was of a woman, but the man was obviously a man. Coupled with his mountain-like figure, he looked weird and perverted.
As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was so rough and unpleasant that it made people feel disgusted and afraid.
The Demon Lord Cangcan asked, "It's you?"
It was a nonsensical sentence and no one answered.
The thin eyebrows on the silkworm mask raised: "A pair of mandarin ducks, fine, fine, I hate love the most in my life, I will send you to the underworld to accompany each other, hahahahahahaha."
He waved his hand, and a man on the left flew towards Yao Ning first.
"I hope you are well—" the man said with a smile.
Yao Ning stepped forward with his sword, while the opponent was using a large knife. The swords collided, and the two were extremely far apart. He raised his eyebrows and said the unfinished words word by word, "Miss."
White perilla.
Yao Ning knew that this person was no ordinary person, but he never thought that he would be the left protector of the Demon Lord Jiangcan, a big shot second only to the emperor in the demon world.
Chen Qian only had time to glance at Yao Ning before Jiang Can slapped him with his palm, and the vast spiritual current stirred up ripples for dozens of miles with the two of them as the center. The two of them moved, and in the blink of an eye, they had exchanged a hundred moves.
It was rumored that the silkworm had reached the half-step stage of ascension, but Chen Qian knew that no one had reached the divine level in the world for thousands of years, so he always scoffed at the rumors.
Now that they were actually facing each other, he realized that the silkworm's strength was indeed terrifying.
He doesn't need a sword; any piece of branch can turn into a sharp sword in his hand.
His fighting style was brutal and violent, similar to Shen Qian's to some extent, but with a little more sinister and bloody energy than Shen Qian's. It was probably because his hands had stained countless lives. His every move was like the crying of thousands of ghosts, eerie and terrifying.
Every move made by Jiang Can and Shen Qian was aimed at killing the opponent.
"My son is not bad, he is worthy of being my opponent."
Chen Qian avoided a murderous intent and said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty is also extraordinary."
The silkworm is violent and cruel. He unified the demon world with an iron-blooded approach. Since then, he has never harmed the human world. Anyone who can suppress a hundred thousand demons is worthy of being his opponent.
The battle between the two sides was in full swing, and the third person who had been standing nearby also moved.
Chen Qian and Yao Ning both paid some attention to this person. What a coincidence, they had met this person not long ago. He was the top star of Xizhou Pavilion and the leader of Taohua An - Wuzhu.
When Yao Ning saw Wuzhu looking at her, she raised her hand. Her eyes turned cold and she thought that Boss Chen really deserved to die.
"How dare you be distracted when you're with me?"
Bai Su raised his eyebrows in displeasure and chopped down with his big knife on his head. Yao Ning raised his sword to block it. The spiritual flow blew the hair and sleeves of the two men, and the swords and knives made a buzzing sound. Half of them were happy to meet a worthy opponent, and the other half were uneasy about being in danger.
The two separated in an instant.
Only then did Yao Ning realize that Bai Su was also very strong. His tight clothes outlined his muscular body and broad back muscles, which was completely different from the sickly and weak appearance Yao Ning had seen him when he first met him.
The bloodthirsty madness in this man's eyes was no longer hidden. Every time he chopped down with his sword, he carried a tremendous force. He really wanted to chop Yao Ning into pieces.
Yao Ning frowned. She had never offended Bai Su. Even if the two of them were enemies now, it could not explain this man's desperate attack.
It was as if Yao Ning was his old enemy and he must get rid of him as soon as possible.
"You really have no grudge against me." Bai Su seemed to be able to see through Yao Ning's thoughts, and a crazy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "But that person said that if I can defeat you, I will be the next Demon Lord."
That person should be the Demon Lord Jiangcan.
Bai Su did not show much respect for his monarch in his words.
A streak of white fire burned onto the big knife, and the flesh and blood in Bai Su's hand holding the knife melted away, leaving only white bones. The knife fell and landed in his other hand.
"Hiss—that's cruel." Bai Su's smile deepened. "I'm a little reluctant to let it go."
He said he was reluctant, but his moves became more and more ferocious.
"That's your useless husband? Let me chop you up first, then I'll kill him and keep you company." Bai Su said, "Am I good to you?"
Yao Ning said nothing, spotted a flaw in Bai Su, and kicked him hard. Bai Su's body fell uncontrollably to the ground, creating a deep pit.
Yao Ning looked at Wuzhu.
At the same time, Adu on the ground also looked at Wuzhu, his peach blossom eyes full of fear.
Her face was pale. "Master, can your Xunfeng Seal defend you?"
Shang Linran was healing a mortal. He raised his head when he heard this and said, "No, what's wrong?"
Adu looked up sternly and said, "Let's go, it's not safe here."
Shang stood up sternly, his expression still calm, and said softly: "Adu, do you know the person above? Can you tell me about it? This is very important to Shen Qian and Yao Ning."
Adu's face turned pale, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he looked up at the gentle eyes of Lin Ran, he fell silent.
After a long pause, she said, "He is the leader of Peach Blossom Temple in the Demon Realm. His real name is Du Wuzhu."
Shang Linran's eyebrows moved slightly, as if he thought of something, and he looked at Adu deeply.
Ah Du didn't care: "The forbidden technique of Taohua An is called Year Rewind, which can make time go back, but this method goes against the laws of nature, I don't think he will use it."
Shang nodded coldly and said softly, "Anything else?"
"But he has another unique skill. This skill is not very powerful to cultivators, but it is deadly to ordinary mortals."
As soon as Adu finished speaking, countless peach petals suddenly fell from the sky. The pink petals fell on the roofs, the ground, and the heads and shoulders of mortals like fine snow.
The scene is dreamy and beautiful, and some people can't help but gently pick up the petals and smell them close to their noses.
More people couldn't help but look up to see the rain of flowers.
However, the next moment, starting from the point where the petals touched, the flesh and blood of these people melted away, and their bones were instantly exposed.
Some people are still holding flowers in their hands, but they have turned into a pile of dry bones.
A nightmarish scream rang out.
Everything happened in an instant.
Yao Ning's eyes flashed, and he shot the sword towards Du Wuzhu, but was chopped down by a knife halfway.
Bai Su's face was covered in dust and he twisted his neck: "Your opponent is me, and you still have the heart to look at others?"
Yao Ning was filled with anger and no longer held back. He reached out to catch Fu Guang. A flaming shadow rose behind him and the surrounding void distorted.
Chen Qian also saw Taohuayu. In between moves, he asked sharply, "Why is Your Majesty so determined to kill us all? I heard that after Your Majesty took control of the demon clan, he has never harmed the human world. Why is he going on a killing spree today?"
A vine pierced Shen Qian's wrist and was cut off by Ting Ni. The zombie laughed strangely twice: "You are despicable and shameless people of the righteous path. You have repeatedly bullied my demon world. I will never appease my anger unless I kill you."
Chen Qian keenly sensed something was wrong with his words and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency said that the righteous path bullied the demon world. Wasn't it the demon world that first attacked the immortal sect during the Immortal Alliance Conference?"
The tip of a vine was stained with blood, and it just stopped an inch away from Shen Qian's eyebrows.
The Thunder Sword sensed its master's intention and stopped moving, vibrating and humming continuously.
The eyes behind the silkworm mask looked at Shen Qian.
After a few breaths.
The silkworm laughed strangely and said, "Stop it first."
Du Wuzhu withdrew his hand, and the peach blossom rain stopped falling.
He stood quietly behind the Demon Lord.
Bai Su heard the Demon Lord's order and raised his lips: "Stop?"
His attack stopped, Yao Ning said nothing, a stream of spiritual power surged out from his palm, holding the peach petals falling from the sky.
The petals melted away bit by bit under the scorching heat, eventually turning into nothingness.
Yao Ning's face turned pale and a drop of sweat dripped from the corner of his forehead.
At this moment, Bai Su moved, and the big knife was heavy and powerful, slashing towards the face of the defenseless Yao Ning.
Chen Qian's figure flashed like lightning, but was stopped halfway. Du Wuzhu held the long flute across his body, and his eyes and eyebrows, which looked a bit like Shen Qian's, looked at him calmly.
Bai Su laughed loudly: "Du Wuzhu, if you keep your promise and stop that loser for me, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
The sword and the flute fought back and forth, soft petals flew all over the sky in the thunder and lightning, and murderous intent was everywhere. Chen Qian was extremely anxious. Although Du Wuzhu could not defeat him, he was able to hold him back.
Everything happened in a flash.
Seeing Bai Su's knife fall on Yao Ning's unguarded flaw, Chen Qian felt that the world had slowed down.
There was a sharp pain in his chest. The dead thing stretched out its tentacles and pierced into his living heart. Severe pain swept through his body. Shen Qian heard an old man's scolding in his soul.
"You're actually moved!"
Chen Qian raised his head expressionlessly, his eyes as stern and cold as a thousand-foot-high snow-capped mountain.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and whispered, "Shut up, you're talking nonsense."
When Du Wuzhu blocked his way again, he turned around and said coldly, "Your Majesty, are you just going to watch?"
"Bai Su wants to kill me too." Jiang Can said calmly without making any move, "I can't stop him."
Chen Qian and Du Wuzhu were fighting, and the two figures were so fast that only shadows were left. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest again, his brows furrowed, cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and the light in his eyes flashed, and then suddenly dimmed.
Du Wuzhu's long flute was about to strike, but Chen Qian paused for a moment. Although it was only a moment, his vital point was exposed without any preparation.
With this blow of the flute, I'm afraid that Taoist Zixiao will be a useless person from now on.
Du Wuzhu barely managed to retract his flute when the huge spiritual current turned back, causing him to spit out blood.
There was nothing in Chen Qian's eyes, yet there was a hint of vigilance, as if another soul had suddenly taken up residence in this body, looking at Du Wuzhu strangely.
Du Wuzhu put away the flute and held it behind his back, saying calmly, "Don't think too much. I'm just doing this for little Aning's sake."
Chen Qian said nothing, used his spiritual power to withdraw from the battlefield, and stood in the distance watching.
Du Wuzhu narrowed his eyes in disbelief and said slowly after a while, "Has it been possessed?"
On the other side, Bai Su's sword came slashing with spiritual force, like a mountain pressing down on his head. Yao Ning reacted but was a little late.
In a duel between masters, the slightest difference can mean the difference between life and death.
The blade of the sword was reflected in Yao Ning's eyes.
