Chapter 234: Darkness Covers the Stars and Impermanence
It has been some time since Maidong returned to Yuanqing. Although his injuries were serious, they were treated properly and he can now walk around.
Although Master Fuyin felt sorry for Maidong's injury, he was also very angry about her leaving without saying goodbye. He definitely wanted to put her under house arrest and punished her by making her copy the "Tao Lun" a hundred times.
This made Maidong miserable. In the past, when Master Fuyin punished her, it was nothing more than copying Taoist scriptures, which was easy to deal with. But this time, it was a whole book of "Dao Lun", which was three fingers thick!
It seems that Master Fuyin was really angry this time.
The disciples had just finished sweeping the Taoist temple. The bright sunshine made the bluestone slabs outside the Wuji Hall shine brightly and black.
Inside the Wuji Hall, however, it was gloomy. Shangqing Zhenren, with a look of sorrow on his face, stared motionlessly at the Hunyuan Instrument. Looking at the Hunyuan Instrument again, the Seven Red Pojun Army flickered, and the surrounding nebulae swirled, and lightning swirled like snakes.
"Senior Brother..." Zhenren Qianyuan on the side couldn't help but speak, with a look of worry on his face.
The Hunyuan Instrument has been in this state ever since Maidong was brought back. So much time has passed, but the black fog still lingers. Even the usually calm Shangqing Zhenren is feeling a little anxious now.
"Han Yang and the others should have found them by now." Seeing Shang Qing Zhenren frowning slightly, Qian Yuan Zhenren spoke to comfort him, "With Daoist Brother Chi Yanzi accompanying him, and Third Junior Brother also going, I believe Ling Xiang will be safe and sound."
Despite saying so, Shangqing Zhenren was still worried. He just looked at the black fog with a dark look in his eyes.
The demons are making another move now, what exactly are they trying to accomplish...
…
Lingxiang didn't expect that Bai Wuchang would come so quickly. Seeing that Long Qi and others were defeated by Hui Wu, she couldn't help but feel a little panicked. What she couldn't understand was how Hui Wu became so powerful.
If Hui Wu gave people a gloomy impression before, he now looked a bit more fierce, with sinister eyes and murderous intent.
However, Long Qi was at a disadvantage, with blood coming out of his mouth and wounds all over his body. He lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up.
There was another person, whose origin was unknown, but he was able to tie up Xinyi and the other three. However, it didn't look like he was using all his strength, but rather like he was playing with his prey.
But Bai Wuchang was fanning himself and standing aside, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Lingxiang rushed to the fallen Long Qi, made hand gestures to form a formation, and asked Bai Wuchang harshly.
"Haha, I just want to invite Elder Fu Cang for a cup of tea, why are you so angry?" Bai Wuchang smiled.
"Drinking tea? Ha!" Lingxiang snorted coldly, changing her hand gestures and protecting the injured Long Qi in the formation. "It was chilly in winter and you were fanning yourself. Now it's only late spring and you're still fanning yourself. How can you have good tea with such foolish behavior? You really can't imitate others, but you are neither fish nor fowl. You can't draw a tiger but draw a dog, that's what I mean by that!"
This blatant irony made Bai Wuchang's face freeze, and he couldn't fold the fan in his hand, feeling a little embarrassed. However, he looked at it for a moment, and then his expression returned to normal.
"Elder Fu Cang is really good at talking. I'm a little overwhelmed by what he said."
As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at Lingxiang and immediately rushed towards her with a loud roar. However, Lingxiang had cast a magic circle on him, and he seemed to have hit a wall and could not get close at all.
However, Hui Wu showed no sign of anger. Instead, he let out a sinister laugh, transformed his claws, and smashed into the invisible wall. The claws sizzled, and the magic circle shattered like river ice, cracks spreading from the joints.
Lingxiang was shocked when she saw this. When did Huiwu acquire such skills?
Even so, she didn't dare to let her guard down. She gathered her spirit and twisted her fingers, trying to maintain the formation. But it was all in vain. Hui Wu only had to tear it lightly, and the invisible wall of the formation shattered. The fragments fell, burning with strange fire, and disappeared in mid-air.
Amidst the flames, Hui Wu suddenly rushed forward, almost reaching Ling Xiang. Long Qi was terribly worried, struggling to stand with his sword, but he was powerless. He could only spit out a mouthful of blood and half-kneel on the ground.
At this critical moment, there was a buzzing sound and sparks flew. Zhao Wuyang gathered his spirit into a sword and stood in front of Lingxiang and Long Qi.
Was this still the frail Zhao Wuyang? Even Hui Wu was surprised that he could withstand this move. But in a matter of moments, the two men were fighting.
Could it be that the Eternal Sky has taken over Wuyang's body again? That doesn't make sense either.
If it was really that old fellow, Hui Wu would have been wiped out long ago, so how could he still be so arrogant now? It seems that Xiao Wu is indeed safe and sound.
Unexpectedly, after searching for Qi, he actually stimulated the potential of his body skills. Not only could he withstand such a heavy blow from Hui Wu, but he could also appear in front of him silently in the blink of an eye.
I was right at the beginning. Wuyang is indeed a good candidate for cultivation!
Lingxiang observed for a moment, then quickly took out a pill from the small bag on her waist and gave it to Long Qi to take. She then gathered her spiritual power in her fingers and pressed on the acupoints around his body.
Right now, there were only these two people, but they had already caused everyone to panic. If Bai Wuchang took action again, he would probably be able to defeat them in an instant. But for some reason, he never made a move, and no one knew what his plan was.
Forget it, I can’t care about so many things now. The most important thing is to heal Long Qi’s injuries first.
The appearance of Zhao Wuyang made Hui Wu inexplicably excited. An evil wind swirled around his claws, and each of his attacks became more ferocious.
Facing Hui Wu's fierce attacks, Zhao Wuyang was actually able to counter and break them one by one. As the two of them grappled with each other, he would occasionally find time to chant his fingers and cast spells, and for a while, they were evenly matched.
Here, Zhao Wuyang and Hui Wu were locked in a stalemate, while over there, Xinyi and the other two were also indistinguishable from another individual. The man, clad in black armor, a black hood, and a cloth covering his face, revealed only a furious brow and a fierce gleam in his eyes. The blade in his hand glowed purple, eerily strange and filled with an evil aura. It was, in fact, a demonic blade!
That person, relying solely on his own strength, was able to restrain Xinyi and Liu Xia, and he was even able to easily dodge the talismans secretly cast by Banxia. This shows that the person has a high level of cultivation.
Xinyi naturally knew how powerful this person was, and that person seemed to know his methods. Whenever Xinyi wanted to use the Lu family's secret technique, she would be interrupted by that person before she could even pinch her fingers and make some incantations.
This is a bit passive.
Fortunately, Liu Xia seized the opportunity at that moment. His left hand made complicated changes, and the sword in his right hand changed its appearance immediately.
The sword blade instantly turned into willow branches, surging like waves and agile like snakes. The countless willow branches were of different thicknesses, and their leaves were actually blades, shining with cold light and making nail-like sounds, rushing towards the man in black.
This move comes with great force, either scattering around or burrowing into the ground, taking the enemy by surprise and making it difficult to defend against.
Even so, the man in black did not panic. He dodged several times and easily avoided the attack without even being touched by the hem of his robe.
However, it was precisely this that gave Xinyi the opportunity to display her abilities.
There was a sudden flash that obscured the sky, but in the blink of an eye, Xinyi disappeared. Just as the man in black dodged, a flash of cold light appeared, and a blade appeared before his eyes.
However, the man was not a pushover. He exerted force on his waist and leaned backward.
But it was still a little late.
A string of blood spurted out and the face towel fell off.
"It's you!"
