Chapter 55055 Swear to Execute the Witch on the Spot
The stone statue appeared, Jing Huai was resurrected, led the crowd to the collapsed Wanjian Mountain, and saved the dying Lu Baozhen on the way, all of which are stories that happened later.
And a few days ago, when Shui Jue and the other two were asked to leave the Soul Burial Cave, only Yu Zhuang Rong'er and Ah Huai were left in the dim space.
The land on the other side of the ditch disappeared in an instant, but Zhuang Rong'er remained undisturbed.
She didn't even glance over there, but just grabbed the snake bone whip again and stepped back.
Her fingers had stopped shaking, and her whole body began to exude a calmness that was almost too crazy.
There was no doubt that she wanted to kill Ah Huai.
At this moment, she had no distracting thoughts in her mind, the only thought was to turn the person in front of her into a puppet.
This way, there will be no more mistakes. He can still be by her side, but he can no longer take away everything that belongs to Jing Huai.
She had been thinking wrongly before. She should have done this earlier, from the first second she got Ah Huai.
"Zhuang Rong'er..."
A low, hoarse voice called her by her full name, as if he wanted to say something, but she neither responded nor listened to him finish. She lowered her eyes and concentrated her energy. The snake-bone whip in her hand made a few intermittent cracking sounds as it was infused with her spiritual power.
When the last sound landed on the ground, the entire whip suddenly deformed, and it quickly became larger and longer, like a hundred-foot-long snake. The tail of the whip even showed the shadow of a snake's head, and it emitted a terrifying hissing towards Ah Huai.
Immediately afterwards, the mutated whip rushed towards him like a dragon. The stone walls fell into powder wherever it passed, and the space also shook violently.
Zhuang Rong'er also suddenly appeared with the attack of the whip, and in the blink of an eye she approached Ah Huai and hit him in the heart with a palm.
This was undoubtedly a fatal blow, but Ah Huai did not fight back. Even his uncontrolled spiritual power did not trigger a counterattack in self-protection.
Ah Huai raised his sword and held it in front of him, flying back several feet. Just when Zhuang Rong'er was about to approach, he suddenly pressed his sword against the stone wall beside him, creating several earth and stone barriers and using the terrain to absorb the force.
There was no trace of shock or anger on his face, only a frown, and the nameless magic weapon in his hand was not even unsheathed.
He was already giving in step by step, but he could not resist Zhuang Rong'er's relentless pressure.
Another whip swept across, instantly smashing the rock wall beside Ah Huai into pieces. Gravel rained down from the sky, and he was forced into a corner in a miserable state. The cold light in Zhuang Rong'er's eyes became even deeper.
"You shouldn't have been able to touch the bones," she said. "That's not yours."
Her voice was frighteningly soft, yet it echoed faintly in the cave, with a chilling effect like a spell.
Ah Huai looked up at her, with extremely complicated emotions surging in his eyes. He whispered back, "...I'll give it back to you."
He himself also turned into an unboneable zombie, so his spine might be able to replace the one in Zhuang Rong'er's Qiankun bag.
The situation was urgent at that time. He was afraid that Zhuang Rong'er would be infected by him and tortured by the corpse poison, and would also become this immortal monster. So, under Li Ruohui's instructions, he took the unchanging bone to detoxify her.
That was indeed an act of presumption, and he was already prepared to return the favor in full.
Zhuang Rong'er's expression remained unchanged, as if she hadn't heard his words. She stared at him and continued, "You shouldn't have touched the Ganoderma Lucidum."
After saying that, she didn't give him any chance to speak again. The snake bone whip suddenly slashed down from the sky, and Ah Huai had to dodge, but his dodging was probably regarded as a way to save his life.
"Don't come any closer. I can't control the surging spiritual power. I'm afraid I might hurt you..."
He gritted his teeth and shouted this, as more and more attacks came at him. Before he could move, the sword at his side seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and burst into a clanging sound.
With a few loud bangs, all the spiritual energy circulating around exploded, forming a huge cyclone. The two figures were swallowed up in it. Dust covered the sky and the space seemed to be about to collapse at any time.
“…”
In the aftermath of the shock, a third figure suddenly walked out from the deepest part of the cyclone.
The man's sword dragged on the ground, leaving a long mark.
A pair of red pupils were embedded in his bloodless face. With just one glance, Zhuang Rong'er recognized that this was an incorruptible skeleton - and, it was the incorruptible skeleton transformed by Li Ruohui, the head of Wanjian Mountain.
Li Ruohui walked out of the ruins, passed by Ah Huai, ignored the tense atmosphere, and walked straight to Zhuang Rong'er.
"The Valley Master wants to take the Unchangeable Bones to save the world, is that right or not?" he said.
His voice was frighteningly hoarse, almost not coming from a human body, but rather the sound of frozen bones rubbing against flesh.
It's probably been more than a day or two since Li Ruohui became an unboneable being, but it's obvious that he is different from the unboneable beings that Zhuang Rong'er had seen before. He seems to have retained a consciousness beyond limits and is more like a demon cultivator than a zombie.
The same goes for Ah Huai.
But this abnormality only means that they are all recreated products that have been enhanced by Jiyuan.
Zhuang Rong'er's eyes calmed down slightly.
Her reason told her that before dealing with Ah Huai, she should perhaps deal with the outsiders first.
But she couldn't seem to do it.
Li Ruohui's sudden appearance only caught her attention for a moment, and she looked back at Ah Huai again.
At the moment of murderous intent, Li Ruohui suddenly said, "The Valley Master wants to obtain the Unchangeable Bone to save the world, so he must kill the evil demon. But look at him, is he still Unchangeable Bone?"
Zhuang Rong'er's eyelashes trembled slightly. She looked at Ah Huai and saw that Ah Huai was silent and held the sword tightly in his hand.
His red eyes were still the same as when he was surrounded by ghost bats.
...But are red eyes definitely a sign of incorruptible bones?
Who has seen the eyes beneath the Jinghuai cloth?
What exactly is his eye disease?
Could it be that he was also blindfolded because of his pair of red eyes that were different from others?
Just by listening to Li Ruohui's few words, Zhuang Rong'er suddenly had many inexplicable guesses in her mind, each of which made her breathing quicken and her limbs tremble.
She clearly had no basis for thinking this way!
She thought this way, but wasn't she essentially still ridiculously hoping that Ah Huai was Jing Huai, and that Ah Huai who had accidentally eaten the Ganoderma Lucidum was the Jing Huai who had recovered his spiritual veins?!
Who allowed her to have such delusions?
Zhuang Rong'er was so angry that she swung the snake-bone whip towards Li Ruohui who was telling lies. However, the target of the attack smiled and stood there fearlessly.
At the same time as being struck, Li Ruohui glanced at Ah Huai, hiding all the complicated pain in his eyes.
He did block Ah Huai at the fork in the cave, intending to kill himself at his hands.
But what he didn't expect was that the person who had the ability to kill him would not easily submit to his "coercion". He would naturally ignore his threats and forcibly break through his obstacles.
Even though he was blocking the intersection, Ah Huai just got information from him, then seriously injured him and left. He was only concerned about saving Zhuang Rong'er as soon as possible and was unwilling to get entangled with him too much.
Qinghailou clearly said that someone who could kill him had arrived here.
If that person is not Ah Huai, then it can only be Zhuang Ronger.
Li Ruohui's somewhat stiff red eyes swept across the two people's faces, and he couldn't help but sigh that it was fate that played tricks on them.
He was bewildered and colluded with the evil creatures in Jiyuan, and then he fell at the hands of the hero who had died with Jiyuan.
Because he turned into a demon and lost his mind, he killed so many monks who rushed to Wanjian Mountain in pursuit of immortality. He was destined to use his spine to calm the corpse poison raging at the foot of Wanjian Mountain.
Everything has a cause and everything has an effect.
Li Ruohui took the blow that was coming down on his head and smiled.
"Valley Master...please give me a ride." He said, "I also have something to give you."
…
Thunderclouds rolled in, and the disciples guarding the mountain looked up at the sky, only to feel an inexplicable sense of oppression sweeping over them like a tide, making it difficult to breathe.
When the avalanche broke out, the huge roar seemed to come not from the top of the mountain, but from deep in everyone's chest.
Everyone's eardrums were hurt and their heartbeats stopped.
Seeing the broken snow pouring down, the disciples' pupils trembled violently, but their bodies seemed to be nailed to the spot, and they could only watch the snow waves coming towards them.
An indescribable premonition seemed to envelop everyone. After the first "thump" sound of someone kneeling, more and more disciples knelt on the ground in unison.
"But is there a problem with the barrier in the mountain? The Sect Master is in seclusion, where is the eldest brother?"
It was so loud that no one answered.
The collapse of the sacred mountain seemed like a punishment from heaven to the disciples.
Buried in the snow, they didn't even dare to get up and escape.
In the distance, someone heard a mournful cry floating on the wind—
"...The master's soul lamp is extinguished!"
A group of disciples stood there in a daze, including the ones who had allowed Zhuang Rong'er and his group to enter the cave to ask for advice a few days ago.
…
The death of Li Ruohui, the head of Wanjian Mountain, caused a sensation in Kyushu.
Rumor has it that Zhuang Rong'er, the master of Cuihuan Valley, wanted to go deep into Wanjian Mountain to obtain the magic weapon, but he and Li Ruohui had a disagreement and met with each other in battle.
As a sorcerer, it was impossible for her to defeat a sword master, but because of the blessing of the evil creature from the abyss, she killed Li Ruohui.
This became the second biggest news in the world of cultivation after "Jing Huai's Resurrection".
By the time the person involved had exhausted all his strength and walked out from under the collapsed snow mountain, the rumors had already been fermenting for several days.
…
"How is that possible?" Shu Qianhe held the brocade message in both hands and stared at the few lines of small words on it over and over again.
After returning from her trip to the Xingluo Sea, she gained some insights and practiced in seclusion for a period of time.
After coming out of confinement, the news she heard one after another almost made her doubt that she had not woken up at all——
The so-called saint who looked exactly like Junior Brother Ahuai was resurrected. He was welcomed into the inner hall early by the people of Tianque Sect and his identity was recognized.
The engagement between Nianyou and Yu Huansheng was cancelled. Nianyou became the successor palace master in place of her deceased uncle, while Yu Huansheng was taken back to Tianque Sect to recuperate and disappeared.
The ruins of the gods under the Zhaixing Zhenhai were discovered. It is said that it was a barrier built by the deceased weapon refining master Liao Shiquan and a mysterious master a hundred years ago, but it has now been shattered.
Feiyuan Pavilion, the previously unknown Jiuliu Sect, has become increasingly famous because it is the first place where the saint appeared after his resurrection, and is showing signs of a comeback.
An avalanche erupted on Wanjian Mountain, and the sacred mountain collapsed. Li Ruohui perished in the icy frost and snow, and his body was never found.
Even though Shu Qianhe could accept all of the above with difficulty, she could never believe the news that "it was the witch Zhuang Rong'er who used the power of Jiyuan to kill the leader of Wanjian Mountain, Li Ruohui"!
And at this moment, she heard another piece of news that she could not believe, which was written neatly on the brocade in her hand: The saint led the people to Wanjian Mountain to uphold justice and vowed to execute the witch on the spot.
"It's impossible..." Shu Qianhe's eyes widened, and the brocade was about to fall to the ground involuntarily, but a hand quickly reached out from behind and caught it.
She quickly came to her senses, met those eyes, and shouted, "Uncle Master! Do you know..."
Wu Heng nodded before she could finish her words, his expression extremely serious as he interrupted, "I want to go north to the Wanjian Mountain ruins. Do you want to come with me?"
If they rush there now, it might be too late, but it's better than not going at all.
If Zhuang Rong'er really fell into the encirclement and suppression of the righteous side led by some "saint" by chance, the situation would definitely evolve to an uncontrollable point.
Wu Heng had never seen the "saint" in person. Like most people who had met Jing Huai a hundred years ago and met Ah Huai again a hundred years later, he was skeptical about the rumored resurrected stone statue of Jing Huai.
He hadn't wanted to bring his nephew, who was still relatively inexperienced, into this mess, but the situation was urgent, and he felt like, "This is the last time I'll see Zhuang Rong'er."
"Yes!" Shu Qianhe frowned and nodded, her hand directly grabbing Wuheng's sleeve, "Let's go before the master stops us!"
