Chapter 48: Two-sided attack: The two teams seemed to be surrounding the ghost soldiers...
After noticing someone approaching, Ying Bu Ran ordered the team to speed up. Since they had already been discovered, there was no need to worry about being exposed by moving too fast. Since Qian Qiuxin couldn't run fast, she simply carried the person on her back.
However, she had not carried the child for a short distance when Zhao Chaoan "grabbed" him and handed the rope holding Zhao Qingxun to her.
Yes, Zhao Qingxun is still tied up, but his strength is there, and he can keep up with them with ease.
Even though they quickened their pace, they were still caught up by the Liuyun Sect's team in the end.
When Zhao Qingxun saw Qiao Yu, the team leader, he was confused for a moment, then frowned, somewhat confused about what her purpose was.
They said she was in league with Liuyun Sect, and told her in advance that she had the opportunity to come, but seeing as she was leading the team, she must have been deeply trusted by the elders.
What is this person doing?
Ying Bu Ran raised an eyebrow at the sight of Qiao Yu. It was unexpected, but upon reflection, it seemed to agree with Qiao Yu's personality. Zhao Chao An, on the other hand, relaxed and rolled his eyes.
On Qiao Yu's side, he was stunned when he saw two almost identical Zhao Qingxuns. The Zhao Qingxun in red looked flawless on his face.
They were definitely deceived, but how did the other party manage to do it without any flaws?
"What are your thoughts now, Brother Ying?" Qiao Yu asked with a smile, deliberately only saying half of the answer to confuse the audience.
Ying Bu Ran didn't bother to say anything more to her. He simply drew his weapon and waved his hand, sending everyone into battle mode. "No more talk."
Qiao Yu sighed with feigned regret and shrugged, "Alas, that's such a shame. I was really looking forward to working with you."
"Tui, who knows what you are planning? Tell me, what do you want? If you want to fight, do it quickly!" Zhao Chaoan was too lazy to argue with others. It was a waste of time. It would be better for him to finish the fight quickly and leave.
Ying Bu Ran patted her shoulder and gave her a look. Zhao Chaoan understood what she meant, snorted, and rolled up his sleeves, but he no longer had the same enthusiasm as before.
Knowing that there was no way to reach an agreement, Qiao Yu didn't say anything else. He raised his hand slightly, and the disciples of Liuyun Sect who had been prepared came from all directions and gathered around him, picking up their weapons.
The battle is about to begin.
The first to attack was Zhao Chaoan. A thread appeared on her left wrist, with Ying Bu Ran attached to the other end. Flames gathered in her right hand, and she slammed it heavily onto the ground. Suddenly, a sea of fire erupted, scorching the disciples who approached them.
This sudden attack was so powerful, and they were completely unexpected to see it coming from underground, which caught them off guard.
But the disciples who were able to follow were almost all elites who set out to carry out the mission, so they quickly adjusted their state and began to fight back.
This time, the quality of Liuyun Sect's team is stronger than the previous Jiuyou Sect. The only weak one is Qiao Yu, but the opponent seems to know that he is his weak point and hides directly at the back.
Ying Bu Ran's sword energy imitated a sword, picking up the sword light attacking Qian Qiuxin and swinging it back at the same time, his brain was constantly thinking at the same time.
It will take some time for the team from Zhuifeng City to arrive. Su Yunying and Qi Yiwen are blocking the other disciples of Liuyun Sect. How can they continue to delay time?
"Do you need me to take action?" Zhao Qingxun asked in a low voice.
Ying Bu Ran glanced at her, then continued to fight. After repelling the Liuyun Sect's attack once again, he said, "If you don't plan to stay in the Liuyun Sect in the future."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Qingxun didn't seem to hesitate at all and expressed his attitude to Ying Bu Ran: "If you want, I can leave the sect."
Ying Bu Ran froze for a moment, then returned to normal. He glanced at her in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you're still a love-brained person. You've changed a lot since I last saw you."
Zhao Qingxun was choked by these words, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not just because of you, but also because of my beliefs and goals. You have changed a lot now."
"Maybe. After all, the time in between is not short. Now is not the time to chat. You can leave the sect, but not now." Ying Bu Ran said with some coldness.
Zhao Qingxun realized that Ying Bu Ran didn't want to say anything more at the moment, so she didn't say anything more. It wasn't that the rope was completely untied, but Ying Bu Ran didn't want her to break free, so she let him do it.
It’s not too late to take action when the problem is completely unsolvable.
Zhao Chaoan rushed to the front and stopped the most disciples of Liuyun Sect, but she did not forget to observe the situation of others. When she saw that some people began to suffer disadvantages, she increased her strength to attack, trying to entangle more people.
Calculating the time, Ying Bu Ran placed a repelled soldier behind him and said, "You protect them." Then he took a step forward to fill the gap and slashed with a sword, changing the previous disadvantage. This time he actually cut off the opponent's attack directly.
Zhao Chaoan saw her sudden outburst and somewhat disagreed with Ying Bu Ran's current actions, but he had no other choice: "Just take care of your own condition and don't force it."
Ying Bu Ran nodded and took a quick look at the situation. It was a stalemate for now, and he just needed to hold on.
"Do you need me to break the limit now?" Zhao Chaoan summoned the ghost fire again and it moved in a circle. The disciples of Liuyun Sect were now alert, so he only temporarily forced them back and did not cause any harm. "It's a little trickier than I thought."
"There's still a gap in strength between us and the established sects. We might be able to hold our own at peak strength, but overall strength is still a bit lacking, especially since they outnumber us." Ying Bu Ran frowned slightly. Although the soldiers of Wind Chasing City had undergone training and possessed greater combat experience than ordinary cultivators of the same level, this time they were clearly not just ordinary cultivators. If she wasn't mistaken, there were some elders among the team. "But it's better than I expected."
The Liuyun Sect was determined to seize the person this time, but unfortunately, now was not the time to deploy the ghost soldiers. The world generally still loathed and feared the ghosts, and if others knew that Zhuifeng City was related to the ghosts, public opinion would be at a disadvantage.
Ying Bu Ran looked behind Qiao Yu, her doubts growing. She had a feeling something was wrong: "Even if we sent people to intercept them, it wouldn't be possible that no one showed up, right?"
Zhao Chaoan frowned, then shook his head and whipped them with his Fire Whip: "I don't know. Who knows what's going on over there? It would relieve some of our pressure."
Meanwhile, Qiao Yu gradually put away her pretentious expression and became more serious. The team led by Ying Bu Ran was even stronger than she had expected. She had even invited some outer sect elders to help her achieve her goals.
The man who looked like Zhao Qingxun was just as difficult to deal with.
The order for the Heavenly Spirit Body to be here has already been issued, so why hasn't anyone come to support it yet? Qiao Yu took a moment to stand at the back and took out his Heavenly Spirit Mirror to check the messages. His face changed when he saw the few messages that popped up.
At the same time, Zhao Chaoan and Ying Bu Ran also felt something was wrong and looked in the same direction at the same time.
"Why is she here again?" Zhao Chaoan was so angry that his teeth were itching. What was this ghost trying to do now? Why was she everywhere except when she was needed?
Ying Bu Ran's face also looked a little grim. The reappearance of the Western Ghost King was completely unexpected by her. If it really came to that, she and Zhao Chaoan would probably have to leave Zhuifeng City temporarily.
Zhao Qingxun noticed something was wrong with the two of them, and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Do you need my help?"
"Protect yourself and her, everyone be alert! Gather towards the center!" Ying Bu Ran shouted to repel the enemy and quickly retreated, while putting one hand on Zhao Chaoan's shoulder. Zhao Chaoan condensed the strongest ghost energy that this body could bear, forming a barrier to cover everyone.
The accident happened in an instant. Outside Zhao Chaoan's circle of fire, black flames appeared on the ground, and ghost hands struggled out from it. Some of them climbed onto some disciples and dragged them down in the blink of an eye.
Qiao Yu, who had been observing Ying Bu Ran, reacted immediately after seeing the two men's expressions change. When the black flames appeared, he immediately jumped onto a tree to avoid the attack of the flames.
The elders only had time to take the disciples around them away. They watched with pale faces as the ghost soldiers appeared where they were before, slowly turning their heads, staring at them with white empty eye sockets, which was creepy.
An elder looked at the disciple in his hand and asked with a slightly trembling voice, "Is this the ghost soldier who attacked you before?"
The disciple was also stunned, still a little flustered. He shook his head frantically and answered haltingly, "No, no, that's not the case. Green, the previous attack was green fire. This, this... I haven't seen it either..."
New ghost tribe?
At this moment, Zhao Chaoan's barrier was also somewhat unable to hold up, and was completely shattered by a black flame attack. The two teams seemed to have surrounded the ghost soldiers, but they felt like they were being hunted.
Ying Bu Ran looked in the direction where the ghostly aura was strongest. As if noticing her gaze, a soft laugh emanated from there, and then a ghostly fire condensed, and a figure stepped out from within.
"The Ghost King of the West, Sha Ruxin." Zhao Chaoan looked at the woman with half white hair and half black hair with a cold face, clenching his fists as if he was going to hit her in the face in the next second.
Sha Ruxin chuckled softly, and her mood brightened as she watched the two groups of people, who were acting as if they were facing a formidable enemy. She didn't restrain the ghost soldiers, allowing them to attack at will, and then slowly walked towards Ying Bu Ran.
Wherever she passed, the ghost soldiers automatically made way for her. Some soldiers wanted to stop her, but were stopped by Ying Bu Ran, who calmly watched her approach.
Zhao Qingxun did not wait any longer and broke free from the rope. He and Zhao Chaoan stood in front of him, one on the left and one on the right. They summoned their swords and looked at Sha Ruxin vigilantly.
Sha Ruxin acted as if she didn't see the two of them. She locked her eyes on Ying Bu Ran and Qian Qiu Xin behind her and smiled.
"Two Destined Bodies? That's really interesting. You seem somewhat... familiar?"
