One dead and one injured
"Wow! There are traps everywhere!"
"Which bitch designed this! My legs are weak!"
Jiang Chanyi and Jin Manlou chattered non-stop along the way, because they hadn't even taken a few steps when they had to be wary not only of blind swords and knives, but also of formations, poisons, poisonous insects, and demonic beasts along the way...
They encountered many setbacks along the way, which made them upset and confused. Even the usually optimistic Jiang Chanyi had bruises on her face, pursed her lips, and looked unhappy.
Qian Luo was also extremely tired. If she had the ability, she would have split the mountain in half with a sword and wiped out all the evil spirits. This would have saved her from being blinded by poisonous insects, having her arms scratched by swords, and having her way blocked by debris under her feet.
The one who didn't react much was Sun Rushuang. She was used to poisonous insects and swords. The days spent outside had made her more calm and introverted. Besides, monks were thick-skinned and tough, so she didn't think there was any problem.
However, these little tricks are not presentable and are too vicious. The traps, big and small, are quite torturous.
Seeing Qianluo suffer, Sun Rushuang suggested: "Why don't you sit on the shoulders of the green-haired puppet? Let him carry you?"
Qianluo thought to herself, "How can I be so delicate?" Before she could even shake her head, Jin Manlou's eyes lit up behind her. "Shuangshuang, can I trade with you?"
She took out several magic weapons from her storage ring, which shone brightly. She wanted to use them to exchange for the green-haired puppet. Her attitude also improved, and she called Shuangshuang affectionately.
Sun Rushuang looked at Qianluo, and Qianluo said, "I don't need it."
[Since Xiaoluo doesn't want it, it's not impossible to trade it.]
During the adventures along the way, Sun Rushuang also realized that Jin Manlou was not short of money. He could get the corresponding reward just by riding the green-haired puppet, so he would not want to miss it.
"Deal!" One hand hands over the person, the other hand hands over the goods.
The two of them got together just like that, and Jiang Chanyi, who was standing next to them, shook her head and sighed: "You..." She let out a long sigh. Jin Manlou was so unable to endure hardship that he would suffer one day.
The way up the mountain is also a trial.
Jin Manlou had already forgotten how she argued with her mother before going out. Now she just wanted to lie comfortably in bed and never take another step.
She found out that she was really not cut out for cultivating immortality!
This time he was really honest.
The other three walked up the mountain. Jin Manlou sat on the green-haired puppet's shoulder and touched it curiously. "How strange! Is this puppet male or female? How did you make it? There's no stench!"
Sun Rushuang ignored this and went up the mountain with a dull face. Jin Manlou muttered a few words and then stopped talking.
With the help of the green-haired puppet, Jin Manlou sat in a high position and "walked" in front, taking in the entire scene. By chance, she seemed to see something: "Look, there are people arguing!"
"This voice... is a little familiar!"
Hearing this, Qian Luo closed her eyes and listened carefully. She could hear the clear quarrel between a man and a woman: "Chu Lianxi, what do you mean by this?"
"You thought you had bewitched me into dealing with Lan Qianluo..."
Is it Chu Lianxi and Gu Qiuchi? When did they...get involved?
Qian Luo stood there, listening for a while. She hadn't expected the desert monks' murderous intent to be instigated by these two people. She asked herself, how could she have become such a thorn in their side when she hadn't offended these two young masters and young ladies?
"Do you want to help?" Jin Manlou signaled the green-haired puppet to stop and said to Qianluo.
Qian Luo crossed her arms and said, "It's not that easy for these two to die. Let's wait and see."
…
"Hey! Is he dead?" Chu Lianxi covered his nose and kicked Gu Qiuchi in disgust. He had no good feelings towards Gu Qiuchi. This woman was moody and had a lot of bad intentions. Only her sister Gu Xianyun treated her like a treasure.
He squatted down and carefully checked the condition of the female cultivator. Her breathing was weak, her face was pale, and her spiritual power was almost exhausted. There was no possibility of a counterattack. He breathed a sigh of relief and his expression softened: "That's good."
With a wave of his hand, he untied the waist belt, and the purple waist belt wrapped tightly around the female cultivator's arm. He tightened it and dragged the female cultivator's arm forward, all the way to the mountain.
Her delicate skin scraped against the hard stone, blood oozing out continuously. The female cultivator was unconscious, with scars all over her ears, neck, arms, ankles...
The blood trickled down from the mountainside to the top.
There is a cool breeze on the top of the mountain, and there are different types of swords, including exquisite long swords, heavy heavy swords, slender soft swords, jewel-studded scimitars, gold-lacquered Tang straight swords, sharp bayonets, flexible goose-feather knives... Almost all styles of swords can be found here.
There are countless swords and knives on the top of the mountain. The bloody swords and knives left by the monks in front are still there. The blood that slid down the sword heads solidified into blood-red thorns, spreading out and falling on the ground, forming strange patterns, as if indicating that there had been a bloody battle here.
But there was no corpse of a monk, as if there had never been a struggle here.
With a "bang", Chu Lianxi threw Gu Qiuchi down, pulled back the waist belt, wrapped it around her slender waist, and the silver ornaments on her arms made a crisp sound of "ding-dang-dang".
A disc appeared in front of them, and brilliant light enveloped Gu Qiuchi and Chu Lianxi. Chu Lianxi, who thought he had won, was very proud and pulled the ragged and scarred Gu Qiuchi into the trial field.
In the trial field, all spells were banned, and only sword competitions could be conducted on the Sword Mountain. This meant that Chu Lianxi and Gu Qiuchi could not use any spells at the moment.
Gu Qiuchi, realizing this, seemed to feel a call from some kind of person. The female cultivator slowly opened her eyes and uttered with difficulty, "Chu..."
Because of Chu Lianxi's dragging, Gu Qiuchi felt pain all over her body, as if she was falling apart and being run over by wheels. She cursed madly in her heart, but on the surface she had to pretend to be powerless to fight back.
With a "bang", Chu Lianxi randomly found two swords and threw one in front of Gu Qiuchi. He raised his head arrogantly, with a malicious smile in his eyes.
"If you're not dead, stand up and fight me with your sword."
"If you don't want to fight me, I can stab you with my sword right now." If it weren't for the mission stipulating a one-on-one sword fight on the top of the mountain, he would have killed Gu Qiuchi at the foot of the mountain long ago.
Competition! She wants to compete!
Never give up!
She hadn't lived until now to die at the hands of a man!
[Gu Qiuchi! Have you forgotten your purpose?]
【Live for yourself once! 】
The female voice in her memory and the voice in her heart overlapped. She opened her swollen eyes, and a surprising light flashed in her eyes. She wanted to compete with swords!
"Ahem..." Gu Qiuchi held the icy sword in her hand. She couldn't help but shiver at the temperature of the ice man, and stood up tremblingly, holding the sword.
With a "thump", she fell weakly in front of Chu Lianxi.
This ridiculous look made Chu Lianxi sneer: "Waste."
A loser who can't even lift a sword!
He overturned his previous view. He believed that Gu Qiuchi's cultivation was not enough to be a serious threat to him. A cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan stage was not enough for him to be vigilant. In addition to the fact that she was fooling him, he also had an inexplicable feeling when torturing Gu Qiuchi before.
He felt that Gu Qiuchi was no ordinary person, just an intuition.
He had tried to get close to other people, and one of the cultivators came from the Gu family, and he accidentally let slip that Gu Qiuchi had once been seriously ill, and then practiced at an amazing speed, reaching the middle stage of the Core Formation stage in just a hundred years. He didn't know why, and some people thought she had some great luck.
But none of this matters.
What’s important is that the person in front of him will die under his sword!
With a "bang", Chu Lianxi quickly pulled out his sword. A cold light flashed, and blood splattered, falling on his charming white face, adding a bit of murderous beauty.
“Hmm…”
Under the light curtain, the female cultivator who had finally stood up collapsed again, raising a cloud of dust, like an eagle with broken wings, slowly falling down.
Seeing Gu Qiuchi crawling on the ground like a stray dog, his life hanging by a thread, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh: "If you had met someone else, maybe you could have successfully bewitched him, but you met me!"
There was a murderous intent in his eyes. He was not good at using the sword, but he only needed to lightly wave his hand and deliver the last sword. Then he could successfully enter the next level of the trial and end this trial without any suspense!
"puff--"
The female cultivator, whose golden elixir was almost destroyed, spiritual power was exhausted, and she was covered in wounds, raised a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth when she heard his words. There was still a taste of blood in her mouth, but she forced a smile, revealing her bloody gums, and firmly gave him the middle finger.
"You're about to die, and you still don't know how to kneel down and beg for mercy!"
This scene was nothing short of humiliation in Chu Lianxi's eyes!
He was so angry that he had obviously lost his mind. He drew his sword and stabbed with anger and hatred in his eyes. With just one last strike, Gu Qiuchi would lose!
He was so careless that he completely forgot to be on guard against Gu Qiuchi. In his eyes, the weak woman was like a dormant poisonous snake, squinting her eyes, ready to bite the man's neck at any time and give him a fatal blow!
She looked up and saw the man's sword getting closer and closer. She saw the man's arms, chest, and head getting closer and closer to her!
The sound of wind, light, breathing, and murderous intent intertwined together. She seemed to feel the taste of freedom. The sweet air was mixed with the dirty smell of blood, and she took a deep breath.
The accumulated power slowly grew! The light in his eyes became brighter and brighter!
The danger is getting closer, which also means that opportunity is approaching her!
The two of them worked together! Time seemed to stand still! Their movements slowed down!
As Chu Lianxi's sword was getting closer and closer, the female cultivator under his feet was also struggling to swing her sword. They fought up and down, and missed each other accidentally. The moment Chu Lianxi saw the cold light, he secretly cried out in his heart, but it was too late!
"Ah!!!" He looked panicked and felt a chill down his spine.
The female cultivator stabbed him hard in the chest, the sharp sword almost piercing his heart! Piercing through the thin robes and into his skin tissue, she listened to the sound of blood spurting, the sound of her heart gradually slowing down, and saw his cheeks becoming increasingly white.
The female cultivator strangled the man's body like a poisonous snake, seizing his strength, and her tail squeezed his living space tightly until he could no longer breathe!
"Hehe——" The female cultivator who looked neither human nor ghost let out a few strange laughs from her throat, and the second time she swung her sword with unstoppable momentum, she went straight for the head!
With a "plop", the head fell to the ground!
Gu Qiuchi cut off Chu Lianxi's head. The beauty's face was as beautiful as usual, with an extraordinary color, and none of the gray and ugly appearance of a dead person. When his head was just cut off, his brain should still be conscious.
"It should be interesting to watch your own head being separated, isn't it?" Gu Qiuchi lifted the hair beside his ear, as if he was chopping a piece of cabbage, not caring at all.
"I'm all dirty, change my clothes later." After killing someone, she downplayed it and smiled faintly at the dome of the sky.
"I won this trial!"
She held the sword in one hand and the head in the other, turned to the four people in front of her and said with an inexplicable smile: "You are very late."
