Chapter 79 Chapter 79 Shen Yuqing, please let Pei Zichen...
Realizing this, everyone panicked.
Pei Zichen turned his hand, the sword formation opened, his sword flew out, and began to fight with the huge vines outside the barrier!
However, although he held back these vines, he was unable to kill all the life-eating beasts. Although the rain of swords was extremely dense, the life-eating beasts still continued to charge forward, crashing into the barrier at all costs, causing the barrier to crackle.
Pei Shulan hurried out and saw this horrific scene. Her face turned pale and she couldn't help but say, "Didn't they say it would take an hour? How come these things are here in just half an hour? Master Shen and Master Jiang can't be disturbed now..."
Before he finished speaking, a group of life-eating beasts pounced on Pei Zichen's sword, and the huge vines slammed heavily into the barrier with a "bang", and the whole temple trembled.
Pei Shulan was so frightened that she stood there in shock, and Mu Jinyue's face was cold.
"Brother, this won't work," Mu Jinyue realized as soon as she saw what was happening. "The barrier won't hold if we continue like this."
Pei Zichen said nothing, but raised his hand and turned it, and the Lingxu fan hung in the air. Pei Zichen held the fan and chanted a spell, then raised his hand and fanned it.
In an instant, all the life-eating beasts went crazy and started rampaging.
The Lingxu fan attacks the soul. Although these life-eating beasts are not human, they also have souls.
They screamed loudly and hit with random force, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
Pei Zichen then fired a dozen arrows from his Yuanluo bow, splitting open a dozen spaces. He said to Tong Ming and Mu Jinyue, "Force these life-eating beasts inside!"
As he spoke, he took the lead, bringing Mu Jinyue forward, and quickly carried these life-eating beasts with damaged souls into the space.
The space is like a sack, with the edges shrinking and disappearing into the surrounding area.
After more than a dozen spaces were filled, Pei Zichen used the same trick again.
However, he soon discovered that these life-eating beasts were endless, as if there was no limit at all, and as many as he collected came.
The barrier became obviously more unstable under the impact of these life-eating beasts. It was difficult for these spiritual beasts to be trapped by the barrier. Once there was any crack, they would flow in like water.
"That won't work."
After a long time, seeing the barrier's light weaken, a Yin-Yang Banner fell, Ming immediately said: "The barrier can't hold up. When the barrier breaks, you won't be able to protect anyone."
"What should we do then?"
Pei Shulan looked horrified: "I still have two children..."
"go out."
Ming spoke with certainty. Pei Zichen turned his head and saw Ming raising his hand and throwing a jade pendant out.
The moment the jade pendant came out, all the life-eating beasts and vines followed closely, until the jade pendant fell among the life-eating beasts, and all the life-eating beasts swarmed over it.
Pei Zichen suddenly realized what was happening. Ming raised his eyes and said, "I tried it once just now. They are more interested in those who leave the barrier than those who are inside. Let's go out and lure these ghosts away. It's easier for you to protect me than to protect them."
Mu Jinyue looked at Pei Zichen after hearing this, and Pei Shulan was both anxious and expectant.
If the two of them go out, they will be the most dangerous.
She didn't dare to ask them to die, but because of fear she hoped they would leave.
Pei Zichen stared at Ming Buyan, and Ming urged him, "There's no time left. Make a decision quickly."
"Junior sister."
Pei Zichen suddenly spoke, knelt on one knee and squatted down.
With one hand, he twisted his sword fingers, creating a sword formation to protect the barrier. With the other, he took a branch and drew a formation on the ground. He instructed, "Now, I will draw a formation here. After that, I will take Ming away. We may not be able to communicate after we leave the barrier. You calculate the time. After a quarter of an hour, you will pour your spiritual power into this formation. I will draw another formation on the other side. You and I will activate the formation at the same time. All living things in this formation will be destroyed."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyue couldn't help but show a bit of panic: "I... Can I do this? I'm a sword cultivator, I can't open a magic circle, right?"
Pei Zichen paused and looked at her coldly.
Mu Jinyue immediately nodded and said, "Since Senior Brother trusts me so much, Jinyue will definitely do her best!"
Pei Zichen responded calmly, explaining, "You only need to use a little spiritual power to respond to me. My spiritual power will then penetrate the two formations. It's up to me to kill as many as I want, not you."
The sword cultivators of the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion cannot use this kind of magical killing formation, they can only use some enhancement-type formations based on their internal strength to help them use the sword. This formation is from the Nine Netherworld Realm.
Mu Jinyue was worried that her Nine Netherworld Realm skills would be exposed, so she felt relieved when he said this.
If she just needed a little spiritual power, she could still squeeze some out by thinking of some way.
Pei Zichen finished drawing the magic circle, then stood up, turned to look at Ce Ming, and ordered: "We will rush out later, you follow me closely."
"good."
After saying that, Pei Zichen raised his hand, summoned the sword, and rushed out with Ming in hand!
The moment it broke out of the barrier, the life-eating beast really no longer cared about the people in the barrier, and turned around and pounced on them. Pei Zichen recalled the sword formation, and the lightsaber "ding ding dang dang" protected it at the side. Ming was even more swift and quick, stabbing the flying life-eating beast with one sword after another.
Although he was a mortal, he had extraordinary swordsmanship and extremely fast movements. With just a mortal body, his speed could catch up with Pei Zichen's lightsaber. He followed behind Pei Zichen and finished off the life-eating beast that rushed into the barrier.
There were so many life-eating beasts that they completely covered the two people, covering the sky and the earth, and there was no way out, just like a cocoon that completely wrapped them up.
The huge vines smashed down again and again, each time with tremendous force.
Ming followed Pei Zichen and jumped twice, then immediately said, "Go cut that vine."
That vine is the biggest threat to the barrier.
Pei Zichen responded, then condensed the spiritual power in his hands, stepped on the magic circle for speed increase, and jumped up with Ming, heading towards the vines!
The vines also discovered them and smashed down like a giant palm!
Ming followed behind Pei Zichen, watching the huge vines fall, his heart trembling, but he could only follow forward regardless. Seeing that the vines were about to fall and crush the two of them, Pei Zichen spun his sword and rushed straight to the center of the vines. His spiritual power exploded instantly, and Pei Zichen passed through the vines with his sword. Ming followed closely behind him through the hole in the middle, and saw that Pei Zichen's sword and the dozen lightsabers behind him formed a net. The moment Pei Zichen penetrated, the dozen lightsabers immediately cut the vines.
Everything happened in a flash. Just then, the giant monster landed with a thud. Ming looked at it with shocking envy, and then he heard Pei Zichen shouting, "Follow me!"
After saying that, Pei Zichen raised his hand and pulled, and the spiritual power passed through Ming's waist and hung in the air, pulling the boy back to his side and jumping out of the encirclement of the life-eating beast.
The life-eating beasts suddenly swarmed over like waves, and the two of them ran wildly into the distance.
The life-eating beast was chasing them relentlessly. After a while, Pei Zichen discovered that when he was in the temple just now, he could not see clearly within a distance of less than ten feet around him. But after he came out, he found that as long as he went forward, there was endless land.
He ran further and further with Ming, calculating the time. Seeing that half a minute had passed, Ming calculated the time he had just spent drawing the formation and reminded him, "You have to draw the formation."
"Know."
Pei Zichen turned over and stretched out the Yin-Yang Banners in his hands, lining up in front like soldiers, and instantly formed a transparent wall of light.
At the same time, thousands of white paper figures flew out from his sleeves and transformed into ghost soldiers. After rushing into the barrier, they began to hack and kill the life-eating beast.
The pressure suddenly decreased, Pei Zichen knelt down on one knee, pressed his hand on the ground to stop his momentum, lowered his head and began to draw the formation.
Ming stood to one side, one hand behind his back and the other holding a sword, watching him draw the formation.
The barrier separated the life-eating beasts and suppressed the sounds within the barrier, making the forest exceptionally quiet, with only the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves.
Pei Zichen drew the formation and magical light condensed on his hands.
The Dharma light was originally white, but Pei Zichen was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Actually, I understand what you just said."
This made Ming stunned, and he couldn't help but ask: "What?"
"There's nothing wrong with wanting to live," Pei Zichen said, and the Dharma light turned purple-black. At the same time, as if deliberately showing it to him, he made his whole body transparent. The purple-black aura flowing through his tendons and veins formed a scroll, which fully presented the state of all the demonic energy running on his body.
Ming stared blankly at the scene in front of him, feeling the wind around him gradually become more intense. He listened to Pei Zichen continue: "Mistakes are only made in the mind, and fate is caused by others. If you only want to defy fate and change it, what's wrong with that? Ming."
He raised his eyes to look at Ming and said calmly: "When my master's wife and I get the God-Slaying Sword and leave, I will teach you my skills. You don't have spiritual roots, so you can't practice immortal skills, but you can try my skills."
Ming heard this, his expression unchanged, and asked indifferently: "What are the conditions?"
"Do no evil, do no harm."
After hearing this, Ming was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
Pei Zichen was silent after hearing this. After a moment, he said softly, "Actually, I'm jealous of you too."
"Jealous of me?" Ming wondered, "Jealous of what?"
"Five years ago, the lady promised to save someone, but she failed to do so and has always regretted it."
Pei Zichen spoke, looking at the formation under his palm, and said slowly: "Although she didn't say it explicitly, I know that when she saw you, she thought of that child. So she wanted to save you, no matter what, she would save you. But whether it's you or Li Xiuji, I don't want her to save anyone else. I only hope that she will save me in her life, and for that, I can save everyone in the world."
Ming didn't say anything.
Pei Zichen flipped his palm, and the light of Dharma condensed. He thought of the past and said with a gentle look, "I don't have much left in this life. She is my only one. I will help her with whatever she wishes for. You don't need to do anything else. Just wait patiently, and I will give you a bright future."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pressed it down, concentrating the magic light towards the magic circle. Just as it was about to fall, Ming suddenly spoke: "She didn't save that person, will she be sad?"
This question was strange. Pei Zichen paused, then raised his eyes suspiciously, but still said, "Of course."
"She wants to save me?" Ming asked again.
"good."
Hearing this answer, Ming closed his eyes.
Pei Zichen looked at him doubtfully for a long time. He seemed to have made a decision and reminded him in a hoarse voice, "Go back."
Pei Zichen paused, then heard him say, "These are all illusions, to consume your spiritual power. This is not the Twelve Crossbow Formation."
Pei Zichen was stunned for a moment. Ming looked up at him and said calmly, "It's the Thirteen Crossbows."
There are twelve crossbows in the formation, and each crossbow represents an attack.
Jiang Zhaoxue always thought there were twelve crossbows, but if there were thirteen, it would mean that there was another attack that was beyond Jiang Zhaoxue's calculations!
And that attack was obviously their real killer move!
The moment he reacted, Pei Zichen turned around and ran towards the temple without hesitation!
The moment he turned around, he saw Shen Yuqing's sword light flying through the entire dense forest and directly hitting the center of the formation. Then twelve rays of light fell accurately and hit twelve directions.
He ran madly all the way amidst the thundering sword light and the shaking earth and mountains.
Faster, faster!
There is still a period, there is still a period waiting for Jiang Zhaoxue, targeting Jiang Zhaoxue!
Yuan Luogong ordered his servant to form a teleportation formation, and Pei Zichen tried his best to fly with his sword.
Inside the temple, after the spell was cast, Jiang Zhaoxue and Shen Yuqing walked out from the inner hall.
Jiang Zhaoxue and Shen Yuqing both looked extremely relaxed, without any sign of exhaustion of spiritual energy. They walked to the door and looked up at the thousands of feet of thunder, as if they were admiring a beautiful fireworks display.
Seeing the two of them, Pei Shulan couldn't help but be stunned. He hesitated and said, "Master Jiang?"
Pei Shulan frowned as he spoke, and asked doubtfully, "Is the Yin-Yang instrument light on?"
"No."
Jiang Zhaoxue is generous.
Pei Shulan glanced at the inner hall, confused and bewildered. "Then...then why did you come out? Aren't we not allowed to interrupt?"
"Because," Jiang Zhaoxue turned to look at her and smiled, "I haven't even started yet."
Pei Shulan was stunned. Jiang Zhaoxue leaned against the doorframe, admiring the magnificent sight of the formation he had created destroying the twelve-directional attack arrays. He patiently explained, "Actually, the maze is just a barrier for cultivators like Shen Yuqing and me. It can't do anything else. After we were forced into the formation, the enemy didn't attack us. Instead, they kept us in a temple. It's clear that their intention wasn't to kill us, but to buy us time. Since they wanted to buy me time, I naturally had to do the opposite. That's why I deliberately took out the Yin-Yang Lantern and told everyone that I had a way to make the person controlling the formation anxious."
"The Yin-Yang Yanyi Lamp can only be activated after Axue and I have exhausted all our spiritual energy. When the other party knew about it, they must have felt that this was an opportunity in a hurry and could not help but take action in advance." Shen Yuqing explained.
"So I deliberately pretended to go with Yuqing to light the Yin-Yang Yanyi Lantern, but in reality, I was setting up a formation to find the center. With mazes like this, if you want to launch a fatal attack within the formation, you must involve the center and accumulate power together. So, I had Pei Zichen pretend to leave, constantly giving the other party opportunities to kill us, forcing him to launch the final attack. Once he made a move, I found the center and had Shen Yuqing destroy it."
"After destroying the core of the formation, there will be no place for the twelve crossbow formation to hide." Shen Yuqing's eyes softened a little. He secretly glanced at Jiang Zhaoxue and said softly, "My wife can gamble with the heavens and destroy the twelve crossbow formation. Naturally, it won't be difficult."
The two of them explained the matter one after another, and Pei Shulan was stunned.
After the thunder slowly disappeared, fog rose around them. Then, under the moonlight, the fog gradually dissipated, revealing a vast field. The dilapidated temple behind them slowly turned into a huge cave. Only then did they realize that this temple was actually a cave.
Seeing that the maze had been broken, Jiang Zhaoxue thought of Pei Zichen and turned to look at Mu Jinyue beside him: "Where is Zichen?"
"Senior Brother just went out with Ming." Mu Jinyue spoke truthfully, frowning, "Just now..."
Before he could finish his words, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the ground, and vines covered with pus and thorns shot out like lightning, heading straight towards Jiang Zhaoxue!
Shen Yuqing quickly grabbed Jiang Zhaoxue, but just as he grabbed Jiang Zhaoxue, a black shadow suddenly broke through the air and slammed into Jiang Zhaoxue!
Jiang Zhaoxue was hugged by the newcomer and thrown forward. Shen Yuqing's pupils shrank sharply. In a flash, although he knew there was a poisonous sting behind him, and knew that Jiang Zhaoxue had been rescued, and knew that he should let go, he still instinctively grabbed Jiang Zhaoxue!
It was just this moment of hesitation that caused the vines full of poisonous thorns to instantly pierce Pei Zichen's chest. Pei Zichen pushed Jiang Zhaoxue forward heavily. Shen Yuqing finally reacted, turned around and cut off the vines behind Pei Zichen with a knife, and then crushed the vines that suddenly attacked from behind him. Then, spiritual power instantly poured into the vines, causing the vines to explode from the inside with a "bang"!
The vines broke into pieces and fell like rain. Shen Yuqing turned around hurriedly and saw Pei Zichen had fallen into Jiang Zhaoxue's arms, leaning on Jiang Zhaoxue's shoulder.
He was covered in blood and his face was pale. Jiang Zhaoxue was holding his pulse and madly supplying him with spiritual power.
Mu Jinyue stood beside her with an anxious look on her face, and Pei Shulan fell to the ground in panic.
Everyone surrounded him, and Jiang Zhaoxue even held him in her arms in a protective manner, almost wrapping him completely in her arms.
No emotion could be seen on her face, but her complexion was obviously paler than usual, and the fingertips clenched in Pei Zichen's hand trembled slightly, which showed that she was trying her best to restrain her anger and panic.
He had seen her like this countless times.
Whenever he was hurt in the past, she always protected him like this.
It is the instinct of demon cultivators to protect important people, especially their Taoist companions, with this completely defensive posture.
At this moment, she was holding Pei Zichen in her arms, pouring spiritual power into his body continuously.
Shen Yuqing felt a stinging pain spreading in his heart, but he knew that he was thinking too much.
At this critical moment of life and death, Pei Zichen is the disciple raised by Jiang Zhaoxue, how could she not panic?
He forced himself not to think too much, curled up his injured left hand into his sleeve, and hurried forward to help.
However, just as he took a step forward, he heard Jiang Zhaoxue shout, "Stop!"
Shen Yuqing paused, looking up blankly, and saw Jiang Zhaoxue staring at him intently, asking coldly, "Why didn't you save him just now?"
Hearing this, Shen Yuqing was stunned. When he came to his senses, he found that the shock and pain that he had tried so hard to suppress had spread throughout his body without him even noticing.
His breathing was somewhat uncontrollable, and he forced himself not to confront the problem, and explained: "I was trying to save you just now."
"But he has been saved."
"Then I want to save you too!" Shen Yuqing finally couldn't help himself. He felt the pain on his hand and trembled. He couldn't help but say, "He rushed over to grab you, why should I let him?"
"Did you do this on purpose?" Jiang Zhaoxue could feel the poison spreading through Pei Zichen's meridians. Unable to contain her anger, her tone was exceptionally cold. "You want him to die?"
"Yes, that's right!" Shen Yuqing lost control and cursed when she heard her defend this man, "I deliberately let him die, so what?!"
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't say anything.
Shen Yuqing clenched his fists and stared at her intently. He didn't know why he said these words against his will, but he couldn't stop. He wanted to say it. He wanted to know, if he really wanted to kill Pei Zichen, if he did it on purpose -
What should she do?
She should defend him unconditionally, she should be sad but still stand by him, she shouldn't even have this problem at all, she should believe in him, should always firmly believe that her husband would not do anything wrong, even if he was wrong -
She loves him too.
Shen Yuqing didn't know why he had such a ridiculous idea, but he was completely out of control. He didn't care about his face or decency. He felt that everything that had accumulated since they met seemed to burst out at this moment, forcing him to test and explore.
He waited for her response, whether it was an argument or a scolding, as long as there was a response.
However, Jiang Zhaoxue only hugged Pei Zichen, and she was completely devoted to him. After a moment of silence, she stood up and hugged him and walked into the cave.
When Shen Yuqing saw her leaving, he hurried forward, grabbed her, and said angrily, "Where do you want to go?"
"He was poisoned by the Heart-Erosion Powder, a poison that is restrained by water-type spiritual roots. After being poisoned, his spiritual energy cannot be circulated and he cannot excrete the poison. He must use the spiritual energy of other spiritual roots to help introduce the toxin into his body to dilute it and then excrete it. Otherwise, he will die within half an hour."
Jiang Zhaoxue explained calmly, then said coldly, "Get out of the way."
"Don't even think about it!" Shen Yuqing shouted. He grabbed her tightly, not caring about decency at all, and gritted his teeth and said, "He is my disciple. You have sex with him. How can I let you do such an intimate thing?"
"Then what did you say back then?!"
Seeing him pestering her, Jiang Zhaoxue became anxious and raised her voice, "When I stopped you from going to Mu Jinyue's room in the middle of the night, you said that matters of life and death shouldn't be separated by gender. Isn't Mu Jinyue's life Pei Zichen's?!"
Shen Yuqing was stunned by these words. Jiang Zhaoxue took a deep breath, knowing that there was no point in arguing. She lowered her voice and discussed it with him: "Shen Yuqing, just now you said that you wanted to kill him on purpose. I didn't argue with you because I knew you were just saying it in anger. I had said such angry words countless times in the past."
Shen Yuqing stared at her blankly, his mind flashing through their countless arguments. She had spoken without thinking time and time again, and each time, he had spoken righteously and used moral principles to restrain her.
"Put yourself in my shoes. I can understand your state of mind at the moment, but can't you understand mine? I just want to save him. You are the Pavilion Master of the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion, and this is your disciple. In a matter of life and death, don't you understand what is more important?"
"Yes, Master."
Mu Jinyue, who was standing by, listened for a long time before finally coming forward and persuading Shen Yuqing, "Please ask Master's wife to save the man."
"Saving people is the most important thing," Pei Shulan recovered and hurried forward to hold Shen Yuqing. "Master Shen, don't worry about the distinction between men and women at this time. Let Master Jiang go."
Everyone tried to persuade him, pressing him with a series of profound truths, until he felt suffocated.
Seeing that it was almost time, Jiang Zhaoxue carried Pei Zichen horizontally and strode into the cave.
Shen Yuqing felt her slipping from his hands little by little, like sand that could not be grasped, and even her sleeves were pulled away.
His heart trembled slightly, but he couldn't say a word.
He struggled for a long time, and could only say softly: "Axue."
Jiang Zhaoxue turned around to look at him, and saw him raise his bloody hand. He looked at her blankly with a bit of pain in his eyes, and said hoarsely, "But I was poisoned too."
The hand was pierced by vines and blood was clotted on it, looking particularly terrifying.
If it were in the past, even if someone's life or death was at stake, she would probably rush over with a scream at the first moment.
He didn't know what he was waiting for by acting so ugly. He just looked at Jiang Zhaoxue quietly.
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at the hand, and after a moment of silence, he said calmly: "You are a cultivator in the Mahayana stage. Zichen is no match for you. Besides, your injury is in your hand, but it's not serious. Let Jinyue help."
After saying that, Jiang Zhaoxue turned around holding Pei Zichen.
Shen Yuqing stood there, staring blankly at Jiang Zhaoxue's back. For a moment, he felt as if he had returned to the past.
Only this time, he turned into Jiang Zhaoxue.
He watched himself leave in a hurry and rushed to Luoxia Peak to save people.
At that time, Jiang Zhaoxue could still yell, cry, and scream: "Shen Yuqing, if you dare to go tonight, I will break off all ties with you. I will never love you again! Do you understand?"
But now, Shen Yuqing felt like someone was strangling his throat.
He wanted to shout and curse, but he couldn't.
He is the master of the Lingjian Immortal Pavilion, and he is Pei Zichen's master. He failed to save him in time, and he must not destroy his chance of survival.
Besides, he didn't dare.
Shen Yuqing will never leave Jiang Zhaoxue, no matter whether she likes him or not, he will never leave.
But Jiang Zhaoxue is not like that.
She would not want him.
The demon cultivator acted willfully and recklessly, and she had never been, and it had to be him.
