The fire had already reached the eighth floor, and the pagoda was shaking.
At a critical moment of life and death, Song Qingshu actually questioned Li Huan in public, showing how clever he was!
Ridiculous and childish.
Song Yuanqiao exclaimed, "Qing Shu is right! Ku Toutuo is a spy planted by the Demonic Sect beside Prince Ruyang! Ku Toutuo's martial arts are superb; he can fly down from the pagoda. We just finished taking the antidote for the Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder, and our internal strength has not yet recovered. How can we rashly jump down from the pagoda..."
Click! Click...
Before Song Yuanqiao could finish speaking, a piercing cracking sound came from inside the pagoda, and the pagoda collapsed downwards!
Li Huan shouted, "Song Yuanqiao! I promised Zhang Wuji I would rescue you! If you don't jump now, you're all dead!"
Upon hearing this, Song Yuanqiao hurriedly asked, "Where did Wuji go?"
Li Huan said, "Zhang Wuji went to the Prince of Ruyang's mansion to find a rope! By the time he returns, he'll only be able to collect the corpses of the Wudang disciples! Zhang Sanfeng, an old man, will be burying his young son!"
Song Yuanqiao's heart skipped a beat, his brows furrowed, and he remained hesitant.
Suddenly, Yu Lianzhou lifted his leg and stepped over the railing.
"I'm going to die anyway! I'd rather have my brains splattered on the ground than be burned to a crisp!"
After making these bold words, Yu Lianzhou leaped down, shouting, "Master Li! Here I come!"
Li Huan once again used the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" technique, accurately striking Yu Lianzhou's waist, cleverly dissipating the enormous gravity, pushing him to the ground, where he rolled several times before landing safely.
Yu Lianzhou nimbly got up, shook her hands and feet, and was overjoyed.
He raised his head and shouted, "Senior Brother! I'm not injured! Leader Li saved me with his divine skills!"
A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the top of the pagoda.
Song Yuanqiao finally dispelled his concerns and hurriedly urged Song Qingshu, "Qingshu! Jump! Jump!"
Song Qingshu quickly looked at Zhou Zhiruo: "Miss Zhou, please go first!"
Holy crap, Song Qingshu just finished showing off his wit and now he's taking the opportunity to act like a sycophant.
Zhou Zhiruo shook her head and said to Abbess Miejue, "Master, you jump first!"
Unexpectedly, Abbess Miejue said sternly, "I would rather be burned to death than let Li Huan save me!"
After the old nun was captured, she was repeatedly humiliated by Zhao Min!
The fiercely independent Abbess Miejue suffered an unprecedented psychological blow and had long harbored thoughts of suicide.
In addition, in order to trick Hebi Weng into giving him the antidote for "Ten Fragrant Soft Tendon Powder", Fan Yao deliberately lied that he and Abbess Miejue were old lovers and that Zhou Zhiruo was their illegitimate daughter!
This incident greatly angered Abbess Miejue, who felt that her reputation had been tarnished.
Furthermore, Li Huan's use of the "Mysterious Iron Pig-Slaughtering Knife" to defeat Abbess Miejue at Bright Peak and seize the Emei Sect's treasured "Heavenly Sword" made Abbess Miejue feel utterly ashamed and disheartened.
Therefore, she could not accept Li Huan's help!
"Master! You jump first!" Zhou Zhiruo shouted anxiously.
Ding Minjun also shouted, "Master, jump first! We'll jump after you!"
It sounds like they want Abbess Miejue to jump off the tower first, but actually they're just annoyed by her indecisiveness.
At this moment, He Taichong and Ban Shuxian, a couple from the Kunlun Sect, jumped off the pagoda one after the other!
Li Huan originally disliked He Taichong and his wife, but in order to set up a stall to sell boxed lunches at the "Lion Slaying Assembly" and earn money from the Kunlun Sect, Li Huan had no choice but to continue using the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" divine skill, slapping He Taichong and Ban Shuxian with his palms to deflect the force of their fall and save the couple.
However, Li Huan deliberately held back his internal strength, causing He Taichong and Ban Shuxian to fall and bleed profusely, with large chunks of their skin scraped off, leaving them covered in blood.
It's like getting a disfigurement.
Li Huan laughed and said, "He Taichong, Ban Shuxian, you two have been eating well lately. You've gained more than ten kilograms, which is beyond my expectations. If I had known this, I would have increased the force of my palm strike, so that you two wouldn't have gotten hurt."
He Taichong got up, wiped the blood from his forehead, and said gratefully, "It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about! Thank you so much, Master Li, for saving my life!"
Ban Shuxian, disregarding the blood on her face, clasped her hands in thanks.
Immediately afterwards, Song Yuanqiao, Zhang Songxi, Mo Shenggu and others jumped off the pagoda and were successfully rescued by Li Huan.
Song Qingshu remained standing beside Zhou Zhiruo, adopting a subservient "lickspittle" posture, willing to risk his life for her.
"Qingshu!" Song Yuanqiao shouted, raising his head, "Jump! Jump now!"
Song Yuanqiao would definitely suffer a mental breakdown if he were to perish in the fire, as Song Daxia's only son and the future successor of the Wudang School.
Song Qingshu cried out, "Father! If Miss Zhou won't jump, I won't jump either!"
Damn, he clearly confessed in public that he was willing to live and die with Zhou Zhiruo.
Zhou Zhiruo saw through Song Qingshu's feelings, and her face flushed slightly.
Subsequently, the leaders of the Shaolin, Huashan, and Kongtong sects, as well as the disciples of the Emei sect, jumped off the pagoda one after another and were successfully rescued.
Of course, Li Huan, according to his own preferences, allowed some people to land safely, while others were left bruised and battered.
Those who were injured did not complain at all; they all bowed and expressed their heartfelt gratitude.
In the end, only Abbess Miejue, Zhou Zhiruo, and Song Qingshu remained on the tower.
Song Yuanqiao was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and stamping his feet repeatedly, wishing he could sprout wings and fly to the top of the tower to save his precious son himself.
Suddenly, Zhang Wuji and Wei Yixiao rushed over, carrying a bundle of hemp rope.
Witnessing the people from the six major sects escape danger, Zhang Wuji was both surprised and delighted.
"Uncle Song, how did you escape from the pagoda?"
Song Yuanqiao was too busy shouting and urging Song Qingshu to jump down to answer Zhang Wuji's question.
Yang Xiao said, "The sect leader used the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth to strike the people from the six major sects just as they were about to land, thus eliminating the force of their fall."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wuji suddenly realized the truth.
"The Master is brilliant! This method is faster than using a rope!"
Li Huan feigned a serious expression and said in a low voice, "The fire has reached the top of the pagoda, and the situation is extremely critical. I have no choice but to use the 'Great Shift of Heaven and Earth' technique to rescue the six major sects!"
Zhang Wuji quickly looked around and said, "The leader saved over a hundred people single-handedly, so his internal energy must have been greatly depleted! There are still three people on the tower. Let me use the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth to rescue them!"
Li Huan shook his head: "I have saved more than a hundred people in a row and have completely mastered the strength and technique. You just came from the Prince of Ruyang's mansion and are in a hurry, so you are more likely to make a mistake."
"Amitabha!"
Abbot Kongwen of Shaolin Temple chanted a Buddhist prayer, his expression one of admiration.
"What Master Li said is absolutely right, excellent, excellent!"
Seeing this, Zhang Wuji had no choice but to take two steps back, his expression showing disappointment.
At the crucial moment, he still couldn't show his skills. Zhang Wuji possessed unparalleled martial arts skills but couldn't use them. How could he not be frustrated?
boom!
The lower half of the pagoda began to collapse!
"Qingshu!" Song Yuanqiao exclaimed in surprise.
Seeing that he would fall into the fire if he didn't jump, Song Qingshu had no choice but to give up accompanying Zhou Zhiruo and jumped from the tenth floor.
When Song Qingshu was three meters off the ground, Li Huan suddenly struck out with his palm, using the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" technique to send Song Qingshu flying several meters away, rolling five or six times.
Thud! Song Qingshu's face hit a rock!
"Agh..." Song Qingshu screamed in agony...
