Chapter 998: Die together?
From the moment the auspicious cloud appeared, Chu Xianping and Qin Zhengqiu were destined to fight.
And the outcome of this battle will definitely be decided before they reach the top of Fangcun Mountain.
Once auspicious clouds appear, the secret of ascending to heaven may be revealed at any time.
If we wait until the secret is revealed before taking action, there will be too many variables.
Therefore, both sides will certainly kill each other before this happens, and then securely seize this great opportunity.
In this case, it seems that the conflict did not break out too early.
"boom!!"
“BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!”
The rubble was falling and the wind was blowing wildly.
Spider-web-like cracks extended in all directions, the cracks in the ground were winding and deep, the hurricane rolled up sand, gravel and dust, the swords and fists clashed like huge waves hitting reefs, and the sudden "boom" sound was deafening.
At this moment, the battle at the foot of Fangcun Mountain is difficult to describe in words.
One side is mainly composed of people from Kuilong, plus a few eminent monks from Lingmen Temple.
On one hand, it brought together the heads of more than ten major sects and religions.
The number of people on both sides is almost the same, and each of them is a top-notch second-grade master. The momentum created by the melee can be imagined.
Because they had expected this battle, both sides did not hold back and used all their best moves.
At first glance, it seems incredible that they are fighting so hard against opponents with whom they have no grudges.
But whenever someone looked up and saw the auspicious clouds circling around the top of the mountain, the greed in their heart swallowed up everything, leaving only the secret that was so close that it seemed within reach.
"roll!!"
“Hahahaha! It feels so good!!”
"It's mine! This opportunity must be mine!"
"Master Qin! What are you waiting for?!"
Human figures were intertwined and roars continued.
At the foot of Fangcun Mountain, which had been reduced to ruins in an instant, someone shouted at Qin Zhengqiu, "Why don't you kill Chu Xianping as soon as possible?!"
“.”
Standing among the flying rocks, Qin Zhengqiu, dressed in a black robe, stared expressionlessly at Chu Xianping not far away, and did not move at all due to the man's urging.
Chu Xianping did the same, just looking at him coldly, his sword still in its sheath.
Behind the two men, a gigantic six-winged faceless beast and a ferocious white-headed giant ape were facing each other from a distance. They were almost the same in momentum, and both were surrounded by black mist.
A little further away, two half-moon shadows were floating in the battlefield, with a hint of murderous intent emanating from the air above the two people.
The beast of destiny, the moon-picking sword Apart from their realm, the means that Chu Xianping and Qin Zhengqiu possessed at the moment were exactly the same.
Even the realm "Second level, destiny beast, I underestimated you."
Qin Zhengqiu calmly glanced at the white-headed giant ape standing behind Chu Xianping, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was soon covered by indifference.
If it was not too surprising that Chu Xianping also plundered a divine beast, then the fact that he could soar from the sixth rank to the second rank in such a short period of time was something Qin Zhengqiu had never expected before.
Even if the Tiao Yue Sword can help people break through quickly, it shouldn't be such an incredible speed.
"Haha, I'm sorry to make you laugh, Master Qin."
On the other side, Chu Xianping sneered, and of course did not explain anything to Qin Zhengqiu.
He just took a step forward slowly, and the white-headed giant ape behind him also took a step forward.
"roar!!!"
A roar that only the two of them could hear came out of the ape's mouth. The faceless beast was not to be outdone and immediately spread its huge wings in response.
"Master Qin, don't you think this is a little strange?"
Looking up at the auspicious clouds covering the top of the mountain, Chu Xianping unexpectedly did not take action, but asked calmly: "If I am not mistaken, the secret of ascending to heaven was told to you by Ru Hai of the White Horse Temple."
"Have you ever thought about why he didn't take advantage of this opportunity alone, but told you about it instead?"
"Doesn't he want to become an immortal?"
“.”
"It seems that Ru Hai has also looked for you."
Standing in the chaotic battlefield, Qin Zhengqiu's robe remained motionless.
He stared at Chu Xianping, who looked calm, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"Since you don't believe him, why did you come to Fangcun Mountain?"
"I never said I didn't believe it, I just had some doubts."
Chu Xianping shook his head: "Master Qin, it would be foolish for you and I to fight to the death now without the opportunity to do so."
"Why don't we climb to the top of the mountain together and wait."
"A fight to the death? Hahaha! It is indeed a fight to the death!"
Suddenly, Qin Zhengqiu's wild laughter interrupted Chu Xianping's words.
"I will kill you first! Then I will go and see if there is any secret!"
“Swish!”
Without any warning, as soon as the last sentence fell, Qin Zhengqiu drew his sword and slashed at Chu Xianping.
It was obvious that he no longer had the patience to talk nonsense with Chu Xianping.
Chu Xianping didn't seem surprised by this. He exerted force on his feet and immediately turned into a black shadow and fled directly towards the mountain.
"boom!!"
The next moment, the sword energy with the power of the Tiao Yue Sword cut the boulder in half, and Qin Zhengqiu's expression became even more crazy.
"escape?"
“Hahahaha! How can you escape from this old man?!”
“Die!”
“.”
Qin Zhengqiu also turned into a black shadow and shot out. Without any worries, he chased in the direction Chu Xianping fled.
As the only first-rank warrior in the world, even though the footwork he practiced was not top-notch, Qin Zhengqiu's speed was no slower than Chu Xianping's. After a few breaths, he could see the latter's back.
Several swords were swung out in succession. The extremely sharp sword energy seemed unstoppable, but Chu Xianping always managed to avoid it narrowly.
For ordinary second-grade warriors, this is simply impossible to do.
But perhaps it was because Chu Xianping also practiced the Tiaoyue Sword, or perhaps it was because of the "warning" of heaven's destiny, in any case he was able to avoid Qin Zhengqiu's attack.
However, as the distance between the two of them grew closer, it became noticeably more strenuous for him to dodge and move. Finally, after a hundred breaths, a stream of sword energy cut a gash in his left arm so deep that the bone was visible.
His eyes turned red, as if he realized that he had no way to escape. Chu Xianping suddenly turned around and rushed back to kill Qin Zhengqiu.
“Cang!”
The long sword was unsheathed, and the moon-picking sword intent instantly permeated the sword body.
There was no clarity in his eyes anymore, as if he was mad, Chu Xianping swung out his first move so far.
Maybe it's the last resort.
"Humph, you are courting death."
Qin Zhengqiu snorted coldly, and his expression became extremely sarcastic when he saw Chu Xianping suddenly turn around and fight him.
After all, since we are using the same moves, there is no possibility that I, who is at a higher level, will lose.
"I will grant your wish!"
“Zheng!”
The sword whistled piercingly and the wind was blowing wildly. Qin Zhengqiu did not stop and swung his sword forward without hesitation.
"Bang!!!"
The two golden sword energies collided in mid-air almost instantly, and the next second a strong light exploded, covering the surrounding area of dozens of feet.
“Boom boom boom!”
Ancient trees were broken in half, and huge rocks were shattered and exploded.
When the "Tiao Yue Sword" faced the "Tiao Yue Sword" for the first time, the vibration it caused alone caused countless rocks to fall from great heights, just like a "stone rain".
Then, a figure was seen flying out from the ball of light, dragging a long line of blood and crashing into a half-broken ancient tree, and then fell to the ground like a torn sack.
Without a doubt, it was Chu Xianping.
"You don't know your own limits."
Qin Zhengqiu slowly walked out of the ball of light that had not yet dissipated, and there was not a trace of dust on his body.
He walked step by step towards the place where Chu Xianping fell, with the long sword in his hand sheathed.
Although he was very confident that he would never lose, Qin Zhengqiu was still a little afraid at first because he knew that Chu Xianping was not an ordinary person.
But unexpectedly, the former was just like this and was defeated in just one move.
Feeling the faint breath not far away, Qin Zhengqiu shook his head and raised his hand slightly.
To be honest, if it was Wei Changtian over there at this moment, he might still hesitate.
But even though he had some "old feelings" with Chu Xianping, Qin Zhengqiu did not hesitate at all and was ready to send the former to the west.
But just at this moment, "Huh?"
Qin Zhengqiu paused and suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Because just a moment ago, white mist like a sea of clouds suddenly seeped out from the vast mountains and forests around that had not yet been destroyed by the sword energy.
The white fog was very thick. It rose from the forest without any warning and rolled towards him from all directions.
And as the fog got closer, pairs of red and green eyes appeared in the fog, so densely packed that they seemed endless.
"hehe."
A creepy chuckle came from the front, filled with madness and sinisterness.
Chu Xianping, covered in blood, struggled to stand up with his sword in hand. His face was covered in dirt and grass, and his legs were trembling slightly.
But his eyes made Qin Zhengqiu feel threatened for the first time.
"Master Qin, cough, cough, cough."
After coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood, Chu Xianping smiled like a devil under Qin Zhengqiu's cold gaze.
“This is just the beginning.”
“.”
Zhu Yan, the way of military conquest, can control mountain ghosts.
As the "king of the forest", the monkey seems to have the best battlefield in the depths of this mountain.
Chu Xianping led Qin Zhengqiu here and used his divine power to summon countless "mountain ghosts". It seemed that this was all planned long ago.
The so-called mountain ghosts are actually the residual souls of animals that died in the mountains.
The combat effectiveness of these residual souls is not strong, but their numbers are extremely large.
After all, Fangcun Mountain is so huge that no one can count how many animals have died there over the past thousand years.
Faced with almost "endless" mountain ghosts, can Qin Zhengqiu escape?
Facing the Tiaoyue Sword which has the ability of "cross-space" pursuit, can Chu Xianping escape?
There will definitely be answers to these questions.
But for Wei Changtian, who was still hiding on the top of the mountain, he knew nothing at the moment. He could only hear the sound of fighting getting closer and closer to him.
The battle lasted for a long time, from morning to afternoon.
However, the auspicious clouds above his head have not changed at all and are still as colorful as ever.
Then, when Xu Suisui took the fifth Qi and Blood Pill, the roaring sound that had lasted for four hours finally stopped. Wei Changtian's expression changed, and he knew that the result had been achieved.
“It seems like the fight is over.”
Beside him, Xu Suisui curled up in his cotton robe that had long been transparent, and asked in a low voice: "Who won?"
".We'll know soon enough."
Wei Changtian looked at the only mountain road through the cracks in the rocks, feeling a little complicated.
In his opinion, since the result has come out, it means that one of Chu Xianping and Qin Zhengqiu is most likely dead.
It is difficult to say who Wei Changtian wants to live and who to die. There may not be an answer at all.
Even deep down in Wei Changtian's heart, he still hoped that neither of them would die.
But if both of them were alive, or even joined forces, then he would not be their match. Rubbing his forehead with some contradiction, Wei Changtian said nothing more and just stared at the mountain road silently.
Then, after an unknown amount of time, a lonely figure finally appeared in his sight.
It’s Qin Zhengqiu.
