Chapter 137 Ding Run, did you make him into a pill?
There were not only a lot of people outside the barrier, but they were like heavenly soldiers and generals, covering the entire medicine garden tightly.
Among them, there were eight cultivators whose cultivation levels even Xu Xingxing could not tell, scattered in eight directions of the sky.
It should be the realm of Mahayana.
This medicine garden is the most important place for collecting herbs for alchemy. Without this medicine garden, Shi Chen would not be able to make pills. It is normal to encircle and suppress it like this.
But...why don't they look like they are breaking the barrier, but instead look like they are building something?
Some of the Mahayana cultivators closed their eyes and chanted incantations, some drew talismans in the air by slashing their palms, and some made extremely fast gestures, trying to perform some magic.
Their behavior may seem chaotic, but in fact there is a pattern to follow.
Those lower-level cultivators who were a little further away all placed their hands in front of them, and the words they spoke turned into strange blood curses that shone above the barrier, making the dull sky even more gloomy.
These reddish-brown terms kept popping up, and soon they became densely packed, completely covering the entire sky above the medicine garden.
Dark clouds swept across the sky, and the spiritual energy around was shaking violently.
Yi Ao had arrived at her side at some point, observing the scene with a sneer, saying, "When I was alive, everyone in my sect was strangled by this formation. Now, over twenty years after my death, it's still the same formation. Chengxu really doesn't have anything new to offer."
Xu Xingxing looked at Yi Ao and asked after a while: "...the whole sect? Exterminate the whole clan?"
"You'd never guess that." Yi Ao laughed, his already dull eyes filled with a sinister glint. "They say my sect is disrupting order, our techniques are treacherous, and we're bringing disaster to the people. Hahaha, do you believe that?"
As a teammate of Yi Ao's, Xu Xingxing replied confidently, "I don't believe it. Are they any good?"
Yi Ao laughed heartily, then said, "Yes, and what good are they? My sect was full of talented people back then, as brilliant as stars. Within ten years, we would have become the leader of Chengxu. But the jealousy and hatred of these snakes and rats was even stronger and more vicious than that of ordinary people. They were afraid of me and wanted to kill me. Not only did they use such insidious tactics, they also slaughtered all my disciples, leaving no one alive. I tried my best, but I could only save a few remaining souls..."
Before Yi Ao could finish his words, he suddenly saw a huge blue light flying from the sky, striking directly at the magic circle that was about to be formed. In an instant, the magic circle shattered like shattered glass, making a deafening shattering sound.
The man in white who had been seen last night stood in the sky. He looked at one of them and said in a cold and gloomy voice, each word piercing with tears: "Is everything Yi Ao said true?"
The man he was looking at said nonchalantly, "Ding Run, back then, the spiritual energy of Chengxu gradually faded, and the Hehuan Sect had a large membership, and their techniques consumed a lot of spiritual energy. If we hadn't kept it a secret from you and wiped out the Hehuan Sect, how do you think your Jade Sword Sect has thrived in recent years—"
Before he could finish his words, a blue sword light rushed straight towards his face. The man raised his hand to block it, but a piece of his black hair was still cut off.
The man's face suddenly changed and he started fighting with Ding Run who had already attacked him.
The Mahayana monks around looked at each other for a moment and then joined in. However, even facing these eight Mahayana monks, Ding Run was not at all inferior.
Remembering what Yi Ao had said before about his good physical strength, Xu Xingxing sighed and said, "...Sister Ao, does he... like you?"
"Probably. But with so many people who like me, who would remember him?" Yi Ao looked at Xu Xingxing and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
Xu Xingxing looked at the one-on-eight swordsmen in the sky and answered hesitantly, "Because... he's helping us?"
More precisely, it's you.
Yi Ao rubbed his chin. "I don't understand either. After I slept with him that day, he forbade me to sleep with anyone else. How could I agree to that? Then he found someone younger. He got so angry that he broke up with me. Even when the He Huan Sect was besieged, he didn't come to our aid. I thought he hated me so much, but who knew what he was doing today? To avenge me?"
Xu Xingxing: ...
You are the real heroine.
Xu Xingxing looked at the sword light in the sky and analyzed, "But he doesn't seem to know the truth about your siege that day."
Yi Ao tutted his words, but his eyes remained gloomy. "Whether he knew it or not is not important, and I don't care. After all, he wasn't the one who harmed me. We are just strangers who slept together once. What does my fate have to do with him?"
Ding Run's body suddenly stiffened as a sword energy came straight at him. Seeing that he couldn't dodge in time, Xu Xingxing felt bad. The people around him had disappeared. She saw Yi Ao move in front of Ding Run, flipped his bone claws slightly, and easily deflected the sword energy. She glanced back, her usual smile on her face: "You can't even take this?"
Ding Run looked at her for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't want me to die, shut up!"
Yi Ao looked at him and rarely refuted him. He just said, "This mask is so ugly. It's not even as good-looking as your birthmark."
Ding Run's breathing became unstable, and he almost choked out these words: "...I told you to shut up!"
Suddenly, Yi Ao paused, looked towards the alchemy room for a while, and then shouted to Xu Xingxing, "Sister, your young husband is no longer in the alchemy room."
Xu Xingxing was shocked and confused: "What?"
"The three layers of the barrier are still there, and the inside is functioning normally, but you can't fool me. Shi Chen and your young husband are not in the room right now." Yi Ao frowned and said, "This old Taoist is really cunning. He escaped like a cicada? If it weren't for Ding Ding's help today, I'm afraid I would have missed the opportunity to save your husband!"
Ding Run's neck turned red beneath his mask: "...My name is Ding Run!"
Although the monks outside were in a disorganized formation, they were still impenetrable. When Xu Xingxing was struggling over whether to kill himself again, a group of white clouds flew quickly in the distance. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a group of swordsmen in white clothes flying towards them on swords.
The person has not arrived yet, but the moves are already there.
With just a few moves, he defeated dozens of monks.
Ding Run said coldly, "How could a useless person who only knows how to take pills to improve his cultivation possibly be able to withstand three attacks from a Jade Sword Sect disciple?"
Soon, the cultivators who stayed in the sky and the flying disciples of the Jade Sword Sect started fighting. For a moment, sword lights appeared above the medicine garden and talismans scattered everywhere, making it extremely chaotic.
Xu Xingxing seized the opportunity and flew towards a gap, but was blocked by someone just as he left the barrier.
Just as she was about to go to fight, Yi Ao stopped her and said, "I'll do it. Go quickly."
She looked at the cold and gloomy spirit in front of her, which finally had a physical form, and hugged it directly, saying, "Sister Ao, my name is Xu Xingxing. I'm leaving!"
After saying that, he rushed out without even looking at Yi Ao's reaction.
Yi Ao's voice came from behind: "Sister Xingxing, would you really not consider becoming my Taoist partner in the next life?"
Xu Xingxing: ...
Ding Run: "Yi Ao, try saying it again!"
Xu Xingxing flew out without even looking back, and anyone he met on the way was shot down by Iolisho.
Chen Yu and Luo Yan also came to her side and helped her escape.
After Luo Yan repelled one person, he asked, "Senior, do you know where Shi Chen is?"
Xu Xingxing became even more panicked, but the more panicked he became, the more he couldn't think of anything. If he couldn't find even a stick of incense, then the only option he had was to commit suicide.
Chen Yu suddenly said, "I know, follow me."
So Xu Xingxing was led there by Chen Yu.
"How do you know?" Luo Yan asked curiously.
"My father was made into an elixir there." Chen Yu's voice was emotionless in the rushing wind. "Luo Yan, I have never told you my true life story. Thank you for saving me this time."
The murderer Xu Xingxing was a little embarrassed and wanted to move aside, but suddenly he heard Chen Yu say again: "Senior, it doesn't matter if you use my body, as long as you kill Shi Chen."
Xu Xingxing was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips slightly, and said nothing.
.
Even from a distance, Xu Xingxing could tell what it was.
The mountains are all black rocks, not a single green one. Dust and smoke rise from the top of the mountain, making the already gloomy sky even more impenetrable. Hot air rises all around, and the smell of sulfur is everywhere. This is...
volcano.
The place where Hou Yuan finally became a demon.
The plot fast-forwarded due to her interference.
As expected, there is a barrier.
The three of them landed at the foot of the mountain. Just as Xu Xingxing was about to try to break through, he heard Chen Yu say, "Senior, let me do it."
After saying that, he stabbed the knife directly into his heart. This sudden action scared Xu Xingxing and Luo Yan.
Luo Yan reacted very quickly. He instantly moved to Chen Yu's side and supported Chen Yu's body, which was trembling with pain. Luo Yan did not ask or stop him, but just supported his arm and helped him stand up straight.
Then Chen Yu dipped his heart's blood in it and cast a spell on the barrier one stroke at a time. As he cast the spell, he said with difficulty, "Senior... you just go forward. Luo Yan... you go and protect me."
Xu Xingxing pressed his shoulder directly and said, "I will kill Shi Chen, and you don't have to die."
After saying that, he looked at Luo Yan again: "Guard him."
As soon as the words fell, the person disappeared from the spot.
Xu Xingxing drove desperately up the mountain, and the road was unobstructed and there was no hindrance.
Finally reached the top of the mountain, the crater was just a hundred meters away.
This place is extremely empty, but there is only one person here.
He was wearing a Huang Zong Taoist robe, and the whisk on his arm was scattered by the heat.
Shi Chen.
He always had his back to her.
She heard herself ask, "Where's Xiao Hei?"
The sound seemed even more desolate in this empty place.
Shi Chen slowly turned around, dragging a plate in one hand, on which was an extremely crystal-clear pill.
"Xiao Hei?" Shi Chen chuckled, "This name is really ugly."
Xu Xingxing looked at the pill for a long time.
"Did you refine it into a pill?"
Shi Chen smiled: "Miss, I never thought that on the day I became an immortal, you would be by my side. How can this not be considered fate?"
Xu Xingxing looked at him, then at the volcano, and said, "Impossible."
"Don't you believe that your husband has been transformed into an elixir by me?"
"No." Xu Xingxing looked at him and smiled, "I don't believe you can become an immortal."
After saying this, he took up his sword and attacked him.
Shi Chen dodged the sword by slightly turning sideways. He was about to fight back, but found that the woman had no intention of continuing to fight with him. Instead, she rushed directly towards the crater.
Before he could react, Xu Xingxing had already jumped into the volcano.
Instead of feeling any burning pain, she continued to fall, and in a moment, her body slammed to the ground.
Ignoring the dull pain, she immediately straightened up and looked around.
It was somewhat similar to the previous one, but also different. It was equally spacious, but the difference was that there were more than 500 Taoists sitting cross-legged here.
They all faced the crater, and the young man hanging above the volcano.
Yuan.
He was naked again, but his body was covered with densely packed talismans carved with a knife, even his face was not spared.
He lowered his head slightly, as if he had fainted, and even when she came, he did not open his eyes to look at her.
He hadn't even fainted when he was skinned, and his spirit was still flickering in her mind that morning. What kind of torture had he endured in such a short time?
Xu Xingxing felt as if a bloody smell was coming out of his mouth.
"Shi Chen" followed behind him. He slowly descended from the sky to the ground, bowed to the person sitting cross-legged on the high platform, and said, "Master, this girl is not easy to fool."
Shi Chen said calmly: "Forget it, this is enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, the rope tied to Hou Yuan suddenly broke, and he fell straight into the lava like a bird with broken wings.
Xu Xingxing had no time to think.
For the first time, she discovered that her reaction speed was so fast. As long as someone came to capture her, she would rush towards the sword blade without hesitation, then open her eyes and rush forward again.
Everyone was completely unable to find the target and was unable to stop her. Even if Shi Chen tied her up, she would commit suicide.
She had forgotten whether it hurt or not, and could no longer care whether it was worth it or not. Adrenaline completely dominated her brain, and she was like a madman, dying and living again, and then rushing again, at an extremely fast speed, over and over again, and finally at a certain moment she reached the edge of the crater.
Without pausing for a moment, driven by instinct, she leaped into the volcano and finally caught the boy who was about to be buried by the lava. Then she pulled herself forward, hugged him tightly, and was engulfed in the flames with him.
