Chapter 114: Bingxue Returns Shen Mu's voice rang in his ears, and...
Recommended background music: Synchronicity
Youbeizhou, four dark green figures were flying past in the sky above the border of Kuangshan.
The Qingxuan Sword Sect disciples Lan Jue, Ruan Wei, Lingyao and Mei Ci had their long robes fluttering, and all had solemn expressions.
"Big Brother! Look ahead!" Ruan Wei glanced down and immediately shouted.
In the distant mountains, there are densely packed corpses!
Lan Jue, who was in the lead, had a slightly gloomy expression and increased the speed of flying his sword.
Xuanyuan Chu's subordinates... actually found the master's location so quickly!
Ever since Xing left, he has been traveling between the continents, and finally succeeded in bringing the first-rate families into the alliance. Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Chu actually came to cut off the source of funds!
If the master is not here, even if the cultivators form an alliance, they will definitely not be able to resist Xuanyuan Chu who has an army of corpse puppets!
"Water Prison! Get out—!"
A surge of water light burst out from Lan Jue's body, and the water ball was shot out in an instant!
Before the corpse puppets could react, they were hit by the water ball and were immediately trapped inside, unable to move.
At this time, Lan Jue had already landed behind the army of corpse puppets. Wherever the sword flashed, the trapped corpse puppets were torn into pieces!
"Hah! Take this move from me!" Ruan Wei also followed behind Lan Jue and chopped the corpse puppet that pounced on him to the ground!
Lingyao summoned the purple jade wolf-hair magic weapon and quickly waved the talisman in the air. In the blink of an eye, it had hit one of the surrounding corpse puppets. Instantly, flames burst out, turning the monster that was neither human nor ghost into ashes!
“Swish!”
The poisoned silver needle flew through the air like lightning, and in an instant a corpse puppet was pierced. Its meridians were blocked and it could not move an inch. The poison took effect and it fell to the ground immediately!
The four of them fought side by side and killed nearly ten corpse puppets in less than half an incense stick of time!
However, even so, there were still endless streams of twisted black figures roaring forward, surrounding them!
Mei Ci blinked, his vision now filled with the hideous, purple faces of the corpse puppets. He clenched the silver needles between his fingers and cursed, "How disgusting! That old bastard actually did such shady things!"
Ruan Wei clenched his sword tightly with both hands and curled his lips: "He must be anxious because he saw that we have won the hearts of the people and want to join us in fighting against him!"
"But I was originally going to go with you, Senior Brother, to the Jiang family to complete the final alliance. I didn't expect to encounter this!" Ruan Wei glanced at the approaching corpses and said loudly, "Senior Brother, you really have some bad luck!"
"You're unlucky! Stop talking nonsense and see who can kill more enemies!"
Lingyao shouted, and her hands moved like an afterimage. Another talisman flashing with purple lightning appeared in the air and attacked the group of corpse puppets in the front, exploding with a flash of lightning!
Lan Jue raised his right arm high, and the water vapor in the air suddenly condensed, and dozens of blue-green swords condensed in the air!
"kill--!"
The long arm fell, and the long sword of water immediately fell heavily, blasting a blood mist among the group of corpses!
Ruan Wei and Mei Ci moved without hesitation, and immediately stepped forward, with swords and sabers flashing rapidly!
In the wild dance of spiritual power and magic weapons, the corpse puppets fell down layer by layer, and the decline was irreversible!
"Hmph, although it looks scary, its strength is just so-so..." Mei Ci kicked over a corpse puppet, but caught a glimpse of a red light coming at him rapidly in his peripheral vision!
"?!Varied--"
He felt a chill all over his body and immediately turned back, but he was still hit in the right arm and blood oozed out!
"Who is it?!" Lan Jue immediately stepped forward and swung the Sword of Forgetfulness towards that place!
“Zheng——”
The long sword and the long whip collided, and the spiritual power and the devilish breath collided violently, causing a wave of air!
"Hehehe...you people from Zhuoguang Peak are really more troublesome than the other."
A tall figure with white hair and silver eyes walked out from the darkness. It was the demon dragon Lin Ya!
He stretched out his long arm to retract the whip, his eyes gleaming coldly and revealing a cruel smile.
"Since you've come to me, I'll kill you first, then chop up Chen Mu, and then that damn Zhong Ming, oh, and Gu Congxing..."
"None of you can escape!"
He spoke faster and faster, and by the end his ferocity was revealed. The majesty of someone who was close to the Spiritual Transformation stage suddenly surged, causing the corpse puppets beside him to fall to the ground and struggle, completely unable to bear it!
Lingyao, Ruan Wei and Mei Ci have not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation. Under this majesty, they all find it difficult to stand up straight, as if they are facing an invisible giant palm falling from the sky!
Lan Jue's eyes turned slightly cold, and his body was filled with blue-green spiritual waves, which continued to spread around, dispersing the heavy pressure like waves, allowing the three of them to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Who is this madman? Why does he seem to know Zhuo Guangfeng!?" Ruan Wei gritted his teeth.
Lan Jue took a step forward, holding the Sword of Oblivion, and said in a deep voice, "It's the demonic dragon that was previously sealed at the bottom of the Wuji Cliff."
"So it was him?!" Lingyao said immediately, "Wasn't he released by Zhong Ming a few years ago? As his subordinate, does Zhong Ming really want to be our enemy—"
"shut your mouth!"
It was Lin Ya who spoke first, his expression filled with cold disgust: "That Zhong Ming and I are irreconcilable. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear you apart first!"
Lan Jue raised his sword and stood in front of Lingyao, transmitting a message to the three disciples.
"This demon dragon is very powerful. You are no match for him. I will fight him in a moment. You should find the right time to leave this place and take Master away first. He is in the ice cave on the mountain behind. I will remove the seal when the time comes—"
However, at this moment, a fierce sword intent suddenly fell from the sky, slashing straight at Lin Ya like a meteor!
Another flaming arrow descended like fire from the sky, landing in the corpse puppet army in an instant, and bursting into raging flames!
Amid the corpse puppet's roar, Gu Congxing, with golden light surging all over his body, came from the sky, like a jade-faced god of war!
"Big Brother, I'm late!"
He landed beside Lan Jue, his silver robe fluttering like a flag.
"Gu Congxing?!"
"Damn, you really are alive!"
"So that Ganmu is you, Senior Brother Gu!!"
Mei Ci, Ruan Wei and Ling Yao spoke one after another, all of them were extremely surprised, and gathered forward in shock and joy.
Si Junjian landed around Gu Congxing and blocked him silently.
When Gu Congxing saw his friend whom he had not seen for many years, his eyes moved slightly, and at this moment Lin Ya, who was not far away, let out a strange laugh.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Everyone immediately looked forward in full alert, only to see Lin Ya staring straight at Gu Congxing, as if he wanted to poke a hole in him!
"Gu Congxing! I couldn't take you down back then, yet you still dare to appear before me!"
He laughed wildly and broke the guarding corpse beside him, pulling out a pitch-black whistle from its spine!
A strange and sharp whistle suddenly sounded, causing Ruan Wei and others to cover their ears involuntarily.
The ground began to tremble slightly, and cracks appeared in the snow-covered soil, and corpse puppets crawled out one after another!
"Tsk... there are still so many! You are simply heartless!" Mei Ci cursed.
Lan Jue held a sword and stood in front of Gu Congxing, while Si Junjian also protected him behind him with his demonic power surging.
Lin Ya raised an eyebrow with interest: "Besides the Demon Lord, is there also a Demon King? Hahaha!"
There were constantly corpse puppets returning from hell around him, as if he was in a Shura painting, but Lin Ya's white hair was fluttering and his fighting spirit was getting more and more boiling.
"Interesting, really interesting!"
"Gu Congxing, I will definitely capture you and ravage you mercilessly! I will make those guys from Zhuoguang Peak wish they were dead!"
As soon as these words fell, the air fell into an eerie silence.
The fear and anxiety on Mei Ci, Ruan Wei and Ling Yao's faces suddenly disappeared, leaving only a cold fighting spirit.
Si Junjian's crimson pupils suddenly shrank, and then he silently raised the corners of his lips, revealing a completely bloodthirsty look.
Lan Jue blinked, and a dark color surged in his clear pupils, filled with only solemn murderous intent.
"Congxing, we can't waste all our time here. The most urgent thing is to wake up our master." Lan Jue stood in front of Gu Congxing, only giving him a tall and calm back view. "Have you collected those two magic weapons?"
"They have all been gathered." Gu Congxing responded immediately.
"Then, this important task will be handed over to you." The spiritual power around Lan Jue surged to an unprecedented intensity, and the air around him suddenly became cold.
Gu Congxing thought of the method Lan Jue had mentioned to him before about awakening his master, and immediately nodded and said:
"I will definitely wake up Master!"
He nodded slightly to everyone else and flew towards the ice cave like a white bird.
"Tsk." Seeing him leave, Lin Ya immediately flew up to chase him, but a boiling water blade was already rushing towards his face!
He stopped immediately, but at this moment another ball of blazing flames roared towards his back!
He frowned and used his whip to resist it, but other magic weapons attacked him like a storm!
——These damn guys, why did their attack suddenly become so fierce!
He used all his magic power to fight back, but was still pierced by the sword, leaving a bloody mark on his left arm.
The hem of his clothes was also singed by the flames, and Lin Ya was forced to fall to the ground, staring at the people in front of him with a fierce look.
The black tide of corpse puppets was approaching again with a roar, and fire was blazing around Si Junjian, like a seed of flame.
"His head is mine."
Lan Jue held the sword across his chest, pure water light surging like waves, and his black hair and clothes fluttering.
"The one who killed this demon dragon——"
The light of the Forgetful Sword suddenly appeared, and the overwhelming spiritual pressure suddenly stabbed forward!
“It’s going to be me!!”
***
Gu Congxing moved forward rapidly along the route he remembered, killed several corpse puppets that followed him with a few swords, and came to the outside of the ice cave.
When the two of them left, Lan Jue sealed this place again to prevent anyone from discovering it, so it looks like just an ordinary snow peak to the naked eye.
Gu Congxing closed his eyes, and the spiritual power around him spread to the surroundings——
The trajectory of spiritual power emerged in the spiritual platform, and that slightly strange place was the source of the additional spiritual power!
Gu Congxing suddenly opened his eyes and broke through that place with pure spiritual power!
“Crash—”
The sound of ice cracking was heard in the air, and soon the entrance to the cave appeared before their eyes.
Gu Congxing immediately stepped in and set up a barrier to cover the entrance of the cave.
Although the outside world was already in the midst of war and chaos, this place was still as ethereal and holy as when he left.
The crystal clear ice reflected a faint blue light, and silver spiritual power floated in the air like floating dust.
Gu Congxing walked quickly to the center of the ice cave, and sure enough, he saw a familiar figure in the huge ice pillar.
“Master…!”
Chen Mu still had his eyes closed, his hands crossed in front of his chest, his long silver hair and robes reflected the light and shadow in the ice cave, like a banished immortal who had strayed into the mortal world.
Gu Congxing gently stroked the icicle and looked at his face.
"Master, I'll wake you up right now!"
Two dazzling rays of light flashed in the spiritual ring. The Taichu Xuan Crystal condensed the purest spiritual power that had been isolated from the world for thousands of years, and the Qingyang Jingling Amber absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and contained infinite vitality.
Gu Congxing's spiritual power resonated with the two magic weapons. He placed them on both sides of the ice pillar, one on the left and one on the right. He sat cross-legged in front of Shen Mu, forming a triangle.
"Holding the spirit in stillness, pulsing into the vastness of the universe..."
Gu Congxing's mind echoed with Lan Jue's previous words, and the golden spiritual power flashed with his breathing.
“Swish——”
The golden spiritual power suddenly became stronger, and the Taichu Xuanjing and Qingyang Jingling Amber were connected with this spiritual power. They surrounded the ice pillar together and continuously gathered power towards it!
Gu Congxing lowered his eyes and concentrated, and veins on his forehead appeared silently.
The spiritual power of these two magic weapons is too strong, and controlling their power transmission is like a mortal killing a tiger with bare hands!
Moreover, the power transmission cannot be rushed, otherwise it may hurt the master. And if it is maintained like this for a long time, one's own spiritual power will be lost rapidly!
It was as if he was swallowed by those two magic weapons!
But for the sake of his master, a mere loss of spiritual power would not make him retreat!
“…Wake up, Master!”
Gu Congxing swallowed a Spirit Gathering Pill, and a new spiritual power flowed into his nearly dried-up spiritual veins. He didn't dare to relax even a little, and concentrated even more intently on controlling the two enormous forces...
For a moment, light appeared in the ice cave, as brilliant as a rainbow, as if it was no longer in this world.
“Click—”
There was a very light sound in his ears. Gu Congxing, who had lost most of his spiritual power, opened his eyes with great effort. Cold sweat fell on his eyelashes, making his vision a little blurred.
The white shadow in front of him remained motionless, as if still asleep.
How could this be...
“Master…”
The vision before his eyes had begun to darken, and even the spiritual power of the Spirit Gathering Pill he had just swallowed was almost exhausted.
No, it can't end like this—
Gu Congxing propped himself up and took out another elixir.
Although continuously taking the Spirit Gathering Pill within a short period of time would cause irreversible damage to his spirit veins, he absolutely could not fail here—
“Crack—!!”
The sound of layers of ice cracking suddenly exploded, and an icy and biting breath surrounded the whole body.
However, it was not as cold as imagined.
"From the stars."
A pair of ice-cold yet soft hands gently stroked his cheeks. Gu Congxing's lips moved, and in the blink of an eye he fell into Bingxue's arms.
Shen Mu's voice rang in his ears, just like before.
Seven years have passed, and nothing has changed, as if all the humiliation, death, and struggle have sunk into the long river of time and faded away.
Only this unchanging place remains where the gods reside and where the body and mind return.
Gu Congxing's eyes were a little moist and he was silent.
"Sorry, I'm late."
"Cong Xing, I'm back..."
