Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Please don’t show off your affection on the battlefield…
The demon cultivators were digging the soil with grunts and pans, while the Left Protector was supervising them with his hands behind his back.
The grave was not big and was quickly dug up.
The man in black stuck a shovel into the soil, pushed away the clods of earth, and revealed the straw mat buried underneath.
"Protector! Xia Wenqi's body is here!" One of the men in black turned his head and shouted.
The left protector was overjoyed: "Great!"
"The body has not been damaged by the mud and rain, has it?" The left protector strode over and said, "It doesn't matter if there is no head. Collect the body first, and then steal the head."
The man in black hesitated and said, "...That's the young master of the Sword Sect."
The left guardian loudly rebuked, "You are a bastard who helps others to be more ambitious but destroys your own prestige! So what if he is the young master of the Sword Sect? My demon clan has many people and countless tricks. Can he avoid them all?"
The man in black lowered his head after being scolded, looking aggrieved: "You are right."
While the left protector was cursing and belittling Gu Jingyun, he reached out and brushed away the last layer of dirt on the straw mat.
Jiang Yan, who was hiding in the dark, felt a surge of anger in his heart. He turned his head to look at Gu Jingyun's expression.
The man listened to the abuse from others with a steady look in his eyes and a calm expression, as if he was not the one being scolded.
Noticing Jiang Yan's gaze, he gave him a puzzled look, asking "what's wrong?"
Jiang Yan held his breath and shook his head.
He withdrew his gaze, and spiritual power was already gathering at his fingertips, ready to be unleashed.
When the left protector was about to lift the straw mat, the demon cultivators were most relaxed.
See the opportunity coming.
Gu Jingyun suddenly raised his hand.
On the hillside, a strong wind was howling.
The left protector's ears twitched, and his eyes glanced at the grass beside him, and his face changed drastically.
I saw many men in black armor jumping out from the shadows and surrounding the demon cultivators in the blink of an eye!
They were all tall and strong men. Just looking at their physiques, they could kill the skinny left protector who was as weak as a chicken with one punch.
Not to mention, in the darkness of night, the number of fully armed Wolf Guards seemed to be even greater, and no one knew if there were still people hiding in the shadows who had not yet emerged.
The left protector was horrified. This outfit belonged to the Sirius Guards!
Oops, he was ambushed.
The black-clothed demon cultivator shouted, "Left Protector, it seems like they are the ones with more people and more power!"
Left Guardian: “…”
Other demon cultivators: “…”
The black-clothed demon cultivator asked in panic, "Left Protector, what should we do?"
"Why are you panicking? Take the body with you and fight your way out." The left protector forced himself to remain calm, facing the Sirius Guards head-on, and reaching back to touch the body.
As soon as his palm pressed down on the straw mat, before he put both him and the mat into the Sumeru Ring, the left protector felt something was wrong.
He ignored the Wolf Guards who were staring at him eagerly, turned his head abruptly, and lifted the straw mat!
Where is the body in there?
There is plenty of air.
As soon as the straw mat was lifted, the illusion was automatically resolved.
The air in the "human-shaped" shape quickly deflated, and the straw mat was no longer bulging. Only a magic puppet with a talisman attached to it lay quietly in the middle of the mat.
Left Guardian: “!!!”
There wasn't even a corpse. I was cheated!
The puppet was only the size of a palm, and had no painted face. It looked naive in the eyes of outsiders, but extremely hateful and abominable in the eyes of the Left Protector.
The left protector was furious and clenched his five fingers, ready to crush the puppet with one palm.
"return!"
There was only a faint shout from afar. The voice sounded like a mountain stream or jade beads falling on a plate, very pleasant to the ear, but the left protector had no intention of appreciating it.
The puppet was enveloped by a beam of flying light. In the blink of an eye, it was wrapped in the light and floated slightly.
The left protector hurriedly used his spiritual power to attack, trying to blow the puppet to pieces.
The ball of light protected the puppet, nimbly dodged the attacks of the left protector and other magic practitioners, and rushed in another direction.
The left protector looked at him with a sinister look on his face.
The dark clouds in the sky completely dissipated.
Under the moonlight, the ball of light was caught by a pair of white hands, and then turned into a glowing light spot and dissipated, revealing the faceless puppet inside.
The young man had a cold temperament and his eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as a painting. After catching the puppet, he breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a very difficult magic item to make.
If it is damaged, I don’t know how much effort it will take to repair it.
Jiang Yan stuffed the puppet into his arms and ignored the spell that was attacking from behind the puppet.
A man in black brocade clothes was standing beside the young man, wielding the sword of self-examination with ease.
The sharp sword energy split it into two, shattering all attacks directed towards Jiang Yan.
Gu Jingyun stepped across the boundary between light and darkness and walked out.
The man had a handsome face and a half-smile on his expression.
"Left Protector, how are you?"
The left protector took two steps back in fear.
"...Young Master Gu, it seems we have never met before."
"How could that be?" Gu Jingyun said lightly, "Didn't you plant a lot of people in Anshui Town just to monitor us? That day, you also asked my servants to meet at the back hills outside the city, and you were very concerned about my daily life and whereabouts."
The left protector was stunned for a moment, then he understood.
It turns out that Gu Jingyun already knew it!
So, could the information the traitor passed on to him be true?
"Master Qi may not be good at other things, but he is first-rate in escaping and saving his life."
Gu Jingyun smiled and said, "I ordered people to set up a trap twice, trying to throw you into the back mountain to feed the wolves, but it failed both times."
The left protector's real name is Qi Ze. He has had a very difficult time in the past year or so.
Either the business at hand was inexplicably ruined, or he was suddenly ambushed by monsters when he went out, and he almost died several times. Fortunately, he realized something was wrong and used the magic weapon given by the elder to hide his breath and hide in the dark. The scapegoats he found were all killed by monsters.
After that, he changed his identity frequently and kept a low profile for a long time, finally avoiding this inexplicable ambush.
I had been suspecting that it was Gu Jingyun who was behind this, but I didn't expect it was really him!
Qi Ze's mind was working quickly, thinking of ways to escape.
Judging from Gu Jingyun's reaction, they probably already knew that he was lurking in the dark and watching.
The magic weapon given by the elder was a top-grade magic weapon, which helped him sneak into the place to steal information and escape from pursuit many times. He shouldn't be so arrogant and think that everything would be fine with the magic weapon.
Can……
Even if Gu Jingyun came in person, the magic weapon should not be ineffective.
Qi Ze gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I have a magic weapon to hide my aura at all times, how did you find me?"
Gu Jingyun ignored him. He raised his chin and motioned everyone to come forward together.
A group of Heavenly Wolf Guards immediately rushed forward.
The scene suddenly became heated - the demon cultivators tried their best to resist, but they were no match for the other side who had higher cultivation levels and larger numbers, and the scene was almost one-sided.
Jiang Yan raised his sword, eager to try: "Brother, I also..."
"Go ahead." Gu Jingyun did not stop him, but only reminded him: "Have fun, but also pay attention to safety."
"Hmm!...Hmm? I'm not playing, I just want to beat them up." Jiang Yan said, and was about to take out a cloth bag from his Sumeru Ring.
"I have something stronger." Gu Jingyun took out a linen bag with his backhand.
That sack was much stronger than the ones Jiang Yan and his companions in the Hehuan Sect were used to using, and it looked like an expensive magical weapon.
"Where did you come from?" Jiang Yan asked.
"After knowing your preferences and the customs of the Hehuan Sect, I ordered someone to make it specially for you." Gu Jingyun answered calmly.
Jiang Yan held the bag in his left hand and the sword in his right hand, and rushed forward with great momentum. Song Hua followed closely behind the Immortal Lord, not leaving his side for a moment.
Qi Ze was dodging left and right, occasionally counterattacking, but he was not keen on fighting.
He is considered to be the most accomplished demon cultivator, and he is trying hard to find a glimmer of hope in his fight with the Heavenly Wolf Guards.
Seeing a hole suddenly appear in the encirclement of the Sirius Guards, Qi Ze was overjoyed and rushed towards the gap.
——but ran into Jiang Yan and Song Hua head-on.
Jiang Yan blinked. Why did this man rush up to get beaten?
"My Lord?" Song Hua asked.
"Put him in a sack." Jiang Yan said concisely.
Qi Ze tried his best to resist, but suddenly a shadow fell from the sky and wrapped him up.
Qi Ze's eyes went dark, and his movements were restricted. He wanted to tear open the sack, but the sack was woven with a special material, and even a monk could not break it open for a while.
The Sirius Guards have always adhered to the principle of "killing him while he's ill".
Seeing that the Immortal King caught a demon cultivator in a bag, countless attacks came towards him subconsciously.
Qi Ze vomited a lot of blood into the bag. He was dizzy and dazed from the beating and had no power to fight back.
He looked sad and angry.
It turns out that this is not an escape exit, but an attack entrance specially left by the Sirius Guards for Young Master Gu and his wife!
The spy planted in Yuyuan Inn was useless. He didn't pass on the most important information at all!
What vase, love brain...
This disciple of the Hehuan Sect is not only very skilled in that aspect, but he can also beat people very painfully!
"Left Protector, think of a solution quickly - ugh!" The demon cultivator's subordinates fell one after another, their breath gradually weakening.
Gu Jingyun had already informed everyone before this, asking them to keep the person alive.
Why spare someone's life?
Of course, it was for interrogation and to get more intelligence.
The Sirius Guards followed orders and did not directly strike the demon cultivator's neck with the sword.
At this time, the demon cultivator was no match for his opponent and was already on the verge of defeat.
Jiang Yan rushed to the front of the battle and shouted, "Put down your swords. Those who surrender will not be killed!"
After all, the sack could not hold a monk for too long. Qi Ze was beaten a lot and finally broke out of the sack in anger.
As soon as I regained my sight, I heard Jiang Yan's words.
After a quick thought, Qi Ze understood the intention of Jiang Yan and others to keep the person alive.
His expression turned cold, and he said loudly: "We are loyal to the Demon Lord and will never betray him!"
After saying that, the attack in his hand did not go towards Jiang Yan, but instead hit a demon cultivator who was about to put down his sword and surrender.
The black and purple spiritual power was extremely domineering and merciless.
After the palm wind passed, a five-fingered bloody hand mark appeared on the chest of the black-clothed demon cultivator, and blood continued to flow out of his mouth.
The demon cultivator's eyes opened wide and he fell backwards, no longer breathing.
Everyone present felt a chill in their hearts.
The evil cultivators were extremely cruel and ruthless, not even sparing their own people.
"Who else dares to surrender?! The Demon Lord will not forgive traitors!" Qi Ze shouted coldly.
Among the demon cultivators, some fear the methods of the Left Protector and the demons, while some are trained to be the demons' death warriors.
There was no other choice but to fight to the death. If someone was defeated and about to be captured alive, they would just commit suicide and die quickly.
Having learned from the previous experience, no one dared to surrender again.
The demon cultivators and the Heavenly Wolf Guards fought each other on this small hillside. The smell of blood drifted away with the wind and filled the entire forest.
The Sirius Guards still wanted to leave a few people alive, so they were inevitably a little cautious in their actions.
Gu Jingyun had already joined the battle and captured two people alive before the demon cultivator committed suicide.
By sealing their meridians, they can be prevented from self-destructing. Breaking their limbs and dislocating their jaws can prevent the demon cultivators from biting the poison in their teeth.
Jiang Yan turned around and faced Qi Ze.
Qi Ze resented the humiliation of being put in a sack, and he intended to attack Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan was not afraid and exchanged a few moves with him with a cold face.
The two had similar cultivation levels, both were Nascent Soul cultivators. After a few rounds, Qi Ze was no match for Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan chased after him with a sword, but the tip of the sword intentionally avoided the fatal part.
Qi Ze did not flee, but rushed towards Jiang Yan, his spiritual power surging, with a ferocious smile on his face.
"Ayan, be careful! He's going to self-destruct!" Gu Jingyun kept an eye on Jiang Yan all the time, and his heart trembled.
The man threw out the sword of conscience with his backhand.
The wind is howling.
Under the precise control of spiritual power, the sword drew an arc of light, brushed past Jiang Yan's ear at lightning speed, and pierced into Qi Ze's abdomen from the front, hitting his dantian.
Blood splattered.
The spiritual power, as hot as the scorching sun, went straight into Qi Ze's limbs and bones.
Qi Ze's rampaging spiritual power was cut off, and the invisible storm suddenly dissipated.
Qi Ze's face turned pale for a moment, and then he bit the poison in his mouth without hesitation.
"Remove his jaw." Gu Jingyun was far away, and his cold voice came from afar.
Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand like lightning, pinched Qi Ze's jaw, and twisted it cleanly.
He brushed his fingers over the body's acupuncture points, raised his foot and tripped the demon cultivator, who fell to the ground with his legs up in the air.
With the pull of gravity, the Sword of Questioning Heart penetrated a little deeper into the demon cultivator's body.
Jiang Yan half-crouched down and knocked the demon cultivator unconscious with a knife. Qi Ze rolled his eyes and fainted.
The familiar cold fragrance came quietly from afar.
"Ayan did a good job." The man drew out the Sword of Integrity with his right hand, and used his left thumb to gently wipe away the blood splattered on Jiang Yan's cheek.
Jiang Yan held the sword, tilted his face upward to wipe it for him, and did not move.
"I learned the chin-removing move from you," he said.
"Learning on the spot?" Gu Jingyun asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Jiang Yan said.
Gu Jingyun was in a very good mood.
This shows that…
Not only was Gu Jingyun always paying attention to Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan was also always paying attention to him.
Song Hua, who was passing by, rolled his eyes.
Excuse me, even if the victory or defeat is already decided, please respect your own people and enemies, okay?
Please don't show affection on the battlefield.
