Chapter 82 Karma Payback We’ll see you soon.
Boom!!
There was a loud bang downstairs. Gu Congxing paused for a moment, then heard Lan Jue's voice behind him:
"Cong Xing, don't stop. Trust my junior brother."
"……Um!"
…
The three of them continued to climb the long spiral staircase and arrived at the second floor of the Xuan Tower.
Compared to the first floor, this place is even darker, and you can't even see your hand in front of you.
In the dark and cold air, only silence spread.
"Don't light the lamp."
Hua Yi whispered and immediately sent a talisman flying forward!
After the talisman flew several feet to the side, it suddenly caught fire!
Swish——
The light came on, illuminating the densely packed blood-red pupils in the darkness!
It turned out to be countless corpses of demons!
They were clearly dead, yet they were still moving in a twisted manner.
“Crack!!”
A giant insect-shaped monster corpse suddenly stood up and swallowed the talisman into its stomach!
"The Endless Art of the Phantom Sword——"
Gu Congxing raised the Whale-Slaying Sword high and swung it down suddenly!
"kill!"
Dozens of golden blades suddenly formed and fell like meteors!
The group of demon corpses coming from all directions and trying to surround them in the darkness were split apart and let out a series of roars.
Hua Yi frowned slightly and used three giant stone talismans in succession!
"Boom—"
The huge rock crushed everything along the way, and Lan Jue swung out the Sword of Forgetfulness. Surrounded by water light, the monster on the left was suddenly stopped in its tracks.
They struggled to break free, but the Sword of Forgetfulness had already pierced through them!
"These corpses are not difficult to kill, but there are so many of them." Lan Jue and Gu Congxing stood back to back, and flew out to attack while talking.
"That old thief Sima knew we would come to rescue him, and he's really willing to spend a fortune!"
Gu Congxing used a sword move, and the sharp sword intent chopped down the entire row of demon corpses to the ground.
Hua Yi held several talismans in her hands and glanced around.
"He was trying to hold us back, but he didn't anticipate our superior numbers."
The flame talisman and the ice cone talisman were used one after another. Hua Yi caught a glimpse of a columnar black shadow in front of her in the firelight, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"It appears! The entrance to the upper level! Quick, quick, let's get in!"
The three of them used their moves faster and faster, and successfully entered in the flickering light and shadow.
He stepped up quickly and successfully reached the third floor.
The higher you go in this Demon-Suppressing Tower, the smaller the space it takes up. Just as the three were about to rush to the fourth floor, they saw a black shadow holding a blade blocking the way.
"Right Elder."
Hua Yi frowned and said, clenching the talisman between her fingers: "You should know what Sima Huai has done, but even so, you still insist on having your own way!"
Unlike the left elder, the right elder actually stared at Hua Yi with a mocking expression.
"The Sect Master has endured countless hardships to achieve what he has today. He has sacrificed so much for the greater good. How could you possibly know his good intentions?"
"How shameless!"
Gu Congxing shouted angrily, unable to bear it any longer.
"Hmph." The right elder sneered. He raised his long sword and pointed the blade at Hua Yi.
"Since you are the Sect Master's only blood relative, if you take these two away now, I will spare your lives."
Hua Yi remained silent, and in response, an ice cone talisman suddenly attacked!
The right elder frowned, smashed the ice cone, and quickly swallowed a dark brown pill.
After taking the pill, veins popped up on his pale face, and the whites of his eyes turned red!
"You...actually took the Berserk Pill! Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
The Madness Pill can make a cultivator's cultivation level soar instantly, but it will also cause him to lose his rationality, his blood will surge, and after a fierce battle he will explode and die!
The right elder's spiritual power surged, and the dark black blade was filled with a strong murderous aura.
"It's either you live or I die, or you live and I die, that's all."
He sneered and immediately flew over!
“Zheng——”
The long knife and the magic sword collided, making a clanging sound!
Endless water vapor spread out, and a light blue halo surrounded Lan Jue.
He held a sword and fought against the right elder, and the water vapor behind him had condensed into a ball of water with a cold glow.
The amber pupils reflected the ferocious face of the enemy in front of him, which was gradually losing its rationality. Lan Jue suddenly exerted force with his arms and flew back a step.
At the same time, a huge water ball suddenly rushed forward!
"Water Prison!"
His eyes were dark and his voice was as cold as ice.
“?! Ngghhhh!!”
The ball of water actually wrapped around the right elder's head, completely depriving him of his breath!
"Big Brother?!"
Gu Congxing looked at Lan Jue's move in astonishment, but saw that Lan Jue had turned around and gave him his usual gentle smile.
"Cong Xing, you and Elder Hua Yi go ahead first, I'll follow."
"Take care." Hua Yi spoke first, and without hesitation, she passed by the struggling Right Elder and flew up the long steps.
Gu Congxing and Lan Jue looked at each other, their eyes moving slightly.
He said softly, "Big Brother, don't force yourself."
Lan Jue raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was still a glimmer in his amber eyes.
"Don't worry, Congxing, I know what's going on."
Gu Congxing nodded slightly and followed Hua Yi upwards.
“Cough cough cough… Damn it!”
Elder You finally used his spiritual power to break the water ball above his head, but his face had turned the color of liver.
Lan Jue raised the Sword of Forgetfulness and whispered:
"From Zhong Ming's ferocious moves, I learned about 'Water Prison'. It seems that it is still a bit cruel... It is very painful, right?"
I'm afraid Zhong Ming's situation will be over soon.
After leaving Xing, that guy could reveal his vicious instincts without restraint.
Lan Jue's eyes gradually darkened.
That man is too dangerous. He must not be left alone with Congxing until the truth is revealed.
“Ahhhh!”
The right elder raised his long blade and rushed towards him like a beast!
No defense, attack with all your strength!
Lan Jue spun around and stood up, a silver-white light bursting out from the Wangqing Sword!
"This time, I'll make you go more happily—"
***
The top floor of the Wanjie Demon-Suppressing Tower.
Gu Congxing and Hua Yi ran all the way here and finally arrived here.
Under the open-air dome, moonlight poured down, illuminating the figure hanging several feet ahead.
He was covered in wounds, his wrists and ankles tightly bound by soul-binding iron chains. A formation beneath him shone with an ominous bloody light, seemingly already halfway completed with his blood!
As if sensing the figure in front of him, he raised his head with difficulty, and his phoenix eyes no longer had the brilliance of the past.
"From the stars...?"
“Si Jun Sword——!”
Gu Congxing let out a heart-wrenching roar and immediately flew forward!
But at this moment, a sword light suddenly flew out from the side. He immediately raised his sword to resist, but was still shocked and took a step back.
Sima Huai walked out slowly from the black shadow, the long sword in his hand making a buzzing sound.
"Although I expected you to come, I didn't expect you to come so soon. A Zuo and A You couldn't stop you?"
He looked at Gu Congxing, but paused when his gaze fell on Hua Yi behind him.
"Xiao Yi...?"
The usual false smile on Sima Huai's face suddenly disappeared, leaving only a solemn and cold look.
"Why are you here?"
Hua Yi looked at him for a moment and summoned the jade bone whisk tied around her waist.
Sima Huai's pupils suddenly shrank.
"Sima Huai, I already know everything."
She held the whisk in her hand, a cold light in her eyes.
"Why did Senior Brother Murong die? Why did the blood butterfly kidnap Lan Yan? Why did Lan Yan die of depression? Why did you rise to prominence so quickly..."
"I know all about it."
The surroundings fell into silence, and the air seemed to freeze.
Sima Huai was silent for a moment, then he couldn't help laughing out loud as if he had heard something extremely amusing.
"Hahahahaha! Xiaoyi, why do you think I could have helped you escape the massacre of monsters in the dilapidated village on the border of the Western Wilderness and brought you into the Tianlin Sect?!"
"Could it be that he is just like those idiots who were born into the immortal sect and don't know the hardships of life, relying solely on his talent?!"
Sima Huai's face was ferocious with rage.
"If I hadn't secretly plotted and used all means possible, how do you think you would have gotten to where you are today—"
“That’s enough!”
Hua Yi shouted angrily, interrupting him.
"Don't be so righteous. You're only doing this for yourself! Senior Brother Murong treats you so kindly. Lan Yan and I are lifelong friends. How can this bother you?"
"You're nothing but a bastard who murdered his wife and friends for fame and gain!"
Gu Congxing stared at Sima Huai's movements warily, only to see him burst into laughter again.
"That idiot Murong Hong was bewitched by the demon race and even wanted to coexist peacefully with them... Humph, the demon race, the demon race all deserve to die!"
Sima Huai spoke in an evil voice, and even his tone became a little hurried.
"As for Lan Yan, it would be fine if she had just formed a pact with me, but unfortunately that woman is..."
Having said this, his eyes turned to Hua Yi.
His eyes flickered, and he stopped talking.
"Hua Yi, I have a great cause to shoulder, and I don't have time for nonsense with you. If you kill that Gu family kid now, I can still forgive you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Congxing raised the corner of his lips and sneered.
Hua Yi opened her eyes wide and looked at Sima Huai, taking a deep breath.
"Go to hell! Sima Huai——!"
Before he finished speaking, the lava talisman suddenly appeared!
"boom!!"
The scorching flames, carrying rolling magma, all flew towards Sima Huai!
Sima Huai's expression suddenly darkened, and he immediately swung out with his sword!
However, when his sword was about to touch the lava, he saw a golden light coming from his side!
"Flowing Clouds, Floating Light!"
"How dare you—!"
He suddenly released the pressure of the Out-of-Body Stage, and a ferocious sword intent burst out from the blood-colored sword!
"break!"
He swung his sword towards Gu Congxing, but saw Hua Yi throw several talismans at him again!
The ice spikes stabbed down one after another, and Sima Huai had to step aside and retreat.
Gu Congxing also matched Hua Yi's attack rhythm and continued to attack with his sword!
During the fight, Gu Congxing was getting closer and closer to Si Junjian!
"Lava Embers!!"
Hua Yi flew out a heavenly talisman, and a giant lava fireball actually created a scorching heat wave throughout the air.
Sima Huai frowned and stepped back. Just as he was about to strike with his sword, he saw Gu Congxing's figure passing from behind the fireball like a silver lightning!
"Gu Congxing, it's now!!"
"drink--!"
The spiritual sword suddenly slashed out, cutting off the heavy chains!
Sima Huai opened his eyes wide, but was tripped by the lava fireball!
“Damn it—!”
"Si Jun Sword!!"
Gu Congxing flew up and held the falling Si Junjian in his arms.
He smelled the strong smell of blood, and as he held the warm body in his arms, he felt his sleeves were wet.
"From the stars..."
Si Junjian opened his eyes and looked at him, his cracked lips slightly raised.
"Sorry, I'm late..."
Gu Congxing's voice trembled slightly, but his movements did not stop at all. He immediately took out the fire talisman array given by Kong Zhuo.
"you?"
Si Junjian's brows immediately furrowed, and he clenched Gu Congxing's arm with one hand.
"boom--"
There was another noise behind him. It was Sima Huai who split the lava fireball!
Hua Yi summoned other talismans to fight against it, but they were no longer as powerful as before.
Gu Congxing lowered his head slightly, the silver moonlight reflected in his pupils.
"Si Junjian, Tiao Tiao is waiting for you there. I will be back soon."
"Trust me."
The red phoenix eyes suddenly widened, and the disappeared light reappeared little by little.
The fire talisman formation has been activated, and a strong light burst out. Si Junjian's body has been drawn into the spiritual wave.
Gu Congxing placed a spiritual bag filled with pills into his arms and smiled.
"See you soon."
"No--!"
Sima Huai roared angrily and rushed over here!
Swish——
The transfer formation has completely ended, and Si Junjian's figure has disappeared!
"How dare you, you little brat!"
Sima Huai roared angrily, and with a fierce sword force, he slashed straight towards Gu Congxing!
Gu Congxing had anticipated this. He threw out a heavenly-level magic weapon as a barrier, then flew across the dome and landed on top of the Xuan Tower!
It was very cold at high altitude, and the night wind was howling, making the young man's clothes rustle.
As soon as he saw Sima Huai chasing him, he immediately swung his sword!
“Liuyun·Wuxiang——!”
The sword intent carrying tremendous spiritual pressure was suddenly swung out, as if to pierce through the dark night!
Sima Huai frowned and tried to resist, but was actually pushed back several steps.
"Ah! You damned little brat... If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
He glanced at Hua Yi who was chasing after him and resolutely summoned out a dark black token!
It turned out to be the Tianlin Sect Leader's token!
"Let me show you what happens when you go against the leader of a faction!"
As he finished speaking, a spiritual light appeared in the distant sky, and dozens of monks were rushing towards this place.
Among them are also several elders who are above the Nascent Soul stage.
Sima Huai grinned high and put on the majestic demeanor of a leader.
"First Elder, Second Elder, hurry, take these two people—Puff!!"
The next moment, the spiritual sword with a cold glow pierced Sima Huai's abdomen from behind.
He opened his eyes wide and turned around to see the furious face of the Great Elder.
"You rat Hua Huai, you really deserve to die!"
Not far away, Qiao Anan was sitting on the Fire Qilin, holding the round spiritual weapon that Hua Yi gave her.
——The photo stone that records the blood butterfly's testimony.
