Chapter 21 A story of three people in the dark.
Luo Huaiyin only disappeared for a quarter of an hour and came back very soon.
When he came back, he looked much better and seemed to have a more confident temperament.
Tian Liuyun was too lazy to care about what he was doing. The two of them roughly talked about the distribution of forces in the field, and then they saw that the fruit on the top of the huge, lush Tianyan tree in the center of the secret realm turned from green to red in an instant.
Red is a symbol of maturity.
The Tianyan Dao Fruit is mature, which also means that the battle for the Dao Fruit is about to begin.
At the same time, Jiang Zhaoyue felt an attraction coming from Tianyan Daoguo.
This is the benefit of the first door.
The moment it matured, the Tianyan Dao Fruit automatically fell off the branch and flew towards her.
Because the speed was not fast, someone soon stopped him.
Several geniuses rushed towards Tianyan Daoguo at the same time, and some turned around to block others.
Luo Huaiyin was one of the people who rushed towards Daoguo.
Tian Liuyun did not look at Daoguo, but stopped in front of Jiang Zhaoyue with a smile, speaking politely without any pause in his movements.
"I've heard a lot about Junior Sister Jiang. How about we have a fight?"
Jiang Zhaoyue had anticipated this and signaled Chu Jinhe to go to the field for reinforcement. She looked at Tian Liuyun and spoke gently.
"Brother, please."
A green long sword appeared in her hand, and she made a beautiful sword flower and took a starting stance.
Tian Liuyun didn't take it too seriously. Although he was not as strong and talented as Luo Huaiyin, he was much older than him. Jiang Zhaoyue had barely won the third place in the Immortal Sect Competition before. In terms of strength, he was far inferior to him.
He personally took action to stop it only because Luo Huaiyin was worried.
He didn't trust others, fearing that Jiang Zhaoyue's conspiracy would succeed, and he also didn't trust others, fearing that he would be too heavy-handed.
That's how the situation of Tian Liuyun versus Jiang Zhaoyue came about.
He thought to himself, just stop her and leave the rest to Luo Huaiyin.
But Jiang Zhaoyue is completely opposite to him.
She is determined to obtain the Tianyan Dao Fruit, and will kill any god or Buddha who stands in her way.
So she spoke gently and smiled, but her moves were deadly.
Tian Liuyun attacked her shoulder, using only 70% of his strength, but he saw the sword in the woman's hand flash and was in front of him in an instant.
The coolness from the sword tip almost touched his skin, leaving a faint red mark between his eyebrows.
Fortunately, Tian Liuyun reacted in time and quickly retreated, otherwise the sword would have pierced his forehead directly.
His expression changed and he seemed to have cursed.
Jiang Zhaoyue's strength is much stronger than during the Immortal Sect Competition, but Luo Huaiyin didn't even remind him.
Under such an attack, Tian Liuyun could no longer calmly and symbolically block it. He stabbed back with the short blade in his hand. He appeared next to Jiang Zhaoyue in an instant, with the blade across her neck.
At this time, Jiang Zhaoyue had to draw his sword to block.
Tian Liuyun had a good idea, but unfortunately he never expected that this seemingly gentle junior sister could be extremely ruthless in battle.
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't even make a move to dodge, letting his blade cut across her throat. The moment the blood gushed out, her long sword still pierced Tian Liuyun's eyebrows.
The tip of the sword had already touched his brow bone, penetrating an inch into his skin and flesh.
The center of the eyebrows is the location of the sea of consciousness. Once stabbed, death is certain.
His face changed slightly and he could only step back immediately.
Jiang Zhaoyue did not pursue the victory, but quickly passed by him and went straight to Luo Huaiyin.
Luo Huaiyin was currently competing with several other people for the Tianyan Dao Fruit when he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him. Turning around, he saw Jiang Zhaoyue with a smile on his face and a long sword piercing the back of his head.
His cultivation level is higher than Jiang Zhaoyue's, but that doesn't mean he can ignore her attacks.
Luo Huaiyin's expression changed, and he shouted, "Tian Liuyun, what are you doing?"
He told him not to use too much force, but he didn't ask him to let the man go directly.
Jiang Zhaoyue was such a heartless woman, Luo Huaiyin knew without even having to think that she would never show mercy to him. After all, she had easily dragged him down with her.
Tian Liuyun, who was a little behind, also thought that something was wrong and quickly rushed over.
However, after several attempts to stop him, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Luo Huaiyin, can I hurt your junior sister?"
The word "injury" here means serious injury.
Luo Huaiyin did not answer his question, but just resisted silently. Tian Liuyun waited for a long time in vain and cursed under his breath.
At this time, the Tianyan Dao Fruit had changed hands several times. It escaped from the hands of one cultivator after another and finally slowly approached Jiang Zhaoyue.
Luo Huaiyin was also nearby. Seeing this, he lowered his gaze slightly and, relying on his higher cultivation level, grabbed the Tianyan Dao Fruit before her.
However, before he touched the peel of the Tianyan Dao Fruit, he felt a pain in his chest, and the long sword pierced his chest. Jiang Zhaoyue rushed out from behind him, stepped on his shoulders to gain leverage, and pounced on the Tianyan Dao Fruit faster than him.
"Jiang Zhaoyue!"
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't care about the cold sound of his gritting teeth. He passed through the gazes of countless geniuses and tightly grasped the red fruit with his left hand.
Perhaps because it was the first door, no one who had obtained the Tianyan Dao Fruit before had shown any abnormality. But the moment she grabbed the fruit, golden light burst out from the trunk of the Tianyan tree, enveloping her and the fruit in an instant.
Jiang Zhaoyue had the illusion that his body was about to melt, and black space debris suddenly emerged in the golden light.
A hand behind her grabbed her ankle and dragged her back. Luo Huaiyin gritted her teeth and said, "You are really fine."
Before Jiang Zhaoyue could speak, the black debris suddenly grew larger and turned into a vortex of nothingness, enveloping her completely.
At the last moment of the changes before her eyes, she heard another voice.
Familiar, firm: "I've got you this time."
…
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Zhaoyue opened his eyes in the darkness.
At the same time, she immediately noticed something strange on her body.
One hand grabbed her right ankle, and another grabbed her left arm.
Both hands were clenched tightly.
Through the slightly different body temperatures and positions, it can be determined that these are two different people.
Jiang Zhaoyue only felt it for a moment, then kicked in both directions according to his feeling.
"Wake up."
Soon, two more pairs of eyes opened in the darkness.
First came the man's slightly surprised voice:
"What the hell is this place?"
Then his tone changed to a slightly resentful tone: "Jiang Zhaoyue! I've treated you well, haven't I? Why are you so cruel? Why don't you just stab me in the head?"
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't even blink. She couldn't see anything in the darkness. She said calmly, "Next time, I'll definitely let go of my feet first."
Luo Huaiyin was quiet for a moment, then as if burned by something, he quickly let go of his hand that was holding her ankle.
He cleared his throat and tried to sound calm: "Now it's just the two of us. My cultivation is higher than yours. You have to apologize to me first, then I will forgive you. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving."
Jiang Zhaoyue ignored him completely, but lowered his voice and said calmly and distantly, "Brother Jiang, can you let go of my hand too?"
Jiang Qiying let go in a flash, her movements even more flustered than Luo Huaiyin's.
But he didn't say anything. Instead, Luo Huaiyin couldn't help but raise his voice after being stunned for a moment: "What? Why is he here too?"
He thought that he and Jiang Zhaoyue were the only ones trapped in this strange place.
Jiang Qiying did not participate in the previous melee. He stood under the Tianyan tree, looking calmly at the fight between them in the sky.
So Luo Huaiyin had no idea that at the last moment, Jiang Qiying also grabbed Jiang Zhaoyue's arm and came here together.
After Jiang Qiying let go of his hand, she didn't say anything, but just remained silent in the darkness, and didn't answer his question.
Jiang Zhaoyue tried to turn his eyes around, but there was still darkness in front of him.
This was very unusual. At their level of cultivation, seeing in the dark was a very common ability, but here it was as if their eyes were blindfolded. There was not a trace of light, and they couldn't even see the outlines of the people around them.
The Tianyan Dao Fruit disappeared in her palm, and it seemed as if some mark was left on her palm.
There has never been any record of the Tianyan Dao Fruit undergoing such a strange change. After Jiang Zhaoyue sensed it for a while without any results, he interrupted Luo Huaiyin who was about to speak.
"Sitting back and waiting isn't my style. Shall we explore?"
"I can't see anything here, how can I explore?"
Luo Huaiyin took out a lighting object from the ring, but found that all the light had lost its effect here, and even his spiritual sense could not see clearly. Fortunately, his spiritual power was still there.
Jiang Zhaoyue thought for a moment and suggested, "Let's feel it with our hands to at least figure out where it is. To prevent any accidents, we can find a way to connect them together."
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Huaiyin said, "Holding hands? I can't hold his hand. You apologize to me first, and then I will reluctantly hold yours."
Jiang Zhaoyue chuckled twice, in a very gentle tone.
"I mean, tie them together with a rope. Don't worry, Brother Luo, how could I take advantage of you?"
“…”
Luo Huaiyin was silent for a while before he uttered a low, emotionless voice: "It's better this way."
Jiang Qiying said nothing. Only the subtle sound of friction was heard, and then his voice was heard: "I have a soul-binding rope here, it should be able to do it."
"good."
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded. At this special moment, the two of them did not dwell on whether their previous agreement still existed. She opened her arms in the direction of Jiang Qiying and said, "Brother Jiang, tie it around my waist."
"etc!"
Before Jiang Qiying could say anything, Luo Huaiyin had already expressed his opinion.
His tone became serious: "Men and women should not touch each other. Jiang Qiying, are you trying to take advantage of my junior sister?"
Jiang Qiying showed no emotion at all, and simply said calmly, "The Soul Binding Rope is controlled by spiritual consciousness. I will not touch Junior Sister Jiang."
"Wouldn't that be an advantage for the Divine Consciousness?"
"So what do you want?"
Luo Huaiyin opened his mouth, but couldn't bring himself to ask me to come, so he just insisted, "No way."
Jiang Zhaoyue laughed silently in the darkness, but his voice revealed a speechless emotion.
"Are you sick for worrying about this at this time?"
"I'm doing this for your own good..."
He seemed very petty, but fortunately Jiang Qiying was quite generous and didn't want to argue with him about it, so she said, "Junior Sister Jiang, I will erase my consciousness, and you will claim the Soul Binding Rope."
"I'm sorry, Brother Jiang."
"I don't care."
Luo Huaiyin couldn't help but mock this conversation in the dark. He cursed silently: Why are you pretending? You are the only one who is generous and tolerant.
But the next moment his thoughts were diverted.
Jiang Zhaoyue was obviously a little impatient with him, and her voice was not so gentle. She was probably looking in his direction while holding the Soul Binding Rope, and when Luo Huaiyin was silently cursing Jiang Qiying, she directly touched his waist.
"Raise your hands. I don't have the same high spiritual sense as Senior Brother Jiang. I can't use my spiritual sense to control you for now."
Luo Huaiyin's body trembled, and he subconsciously froze. He unconsciously glanced down in the darkness, only to hear Jiang Zhaoyue ask doubtfully, "Why are you shaking?"
He paused for a moment, then calmly said, "Nothing."
The author has something to say:

Luo Huaiyin: It's nothing, my waist is just a little sensitive. What's wrong? Can't I be sensitive?
