Chapter 289 Graduation Project
Mu Hanshan ran in the forest of swords and rain of arrows. In front of him was a crumbling stone gate; behind him were the demons chasing him relentlessly.
It seemed like he hadn't felt such a moment with nowhere to escape for a long time, truly, between life and death.
On the battlefield in the north, he had let his teammates leave time and time again, leaving himself in life-threatening situations. He was tossing back and forth between life and death, but when he escaped and faced the admiration of his teammates, he looked at his sword and felt no joy of survival, but only a sense of loss.
He didn't understand what he was thinking. Maybe he was hoping to put himself in more danger? Did he ever have a moment like that, a moment when there was no escape? What was that moment? What happened at that moment? He always felt like he was looking forward to that moment coming again, even if he didn't know what he was waiting for.
It's a pity that he was taught too well. So time and time again, he was always able to escape with the help of his swordsmanship.
Who taught him swordsmanship so well? Mu Hanshan thought about it again and again, but still couldn't remember.
But this time, everything is different.
"Mu Hanshan!" Xue Xingyu shouted heartbreakingly from the other side of the stone gate, "Come here quickly!"
She stretched out her hand to the other side of the stone gate, but Mu Hanshan just glanced at her, then resolutely swung his sword and cut down the stone gate.
Huge rocks fell down with a loud crash, blocking the entire way out in an instant. Now there was only the stone wall behind him and the enemy in front of him.
"Xue Xingyu, please." He whispered, "Take Le Han home."
He heard silence for a moment on the other side of the stone gate, and finally Xue Xingyu sniffed hard and ran towards the outside of Changle Gate.
Mu Hanshan finally smiled faintly. Xue Xingyu is a very good girl. She is always rational, capable and knows what she should do... Everyone says that Xue Xingyu is a good girl. Some people have asked her openly or secretly whether the two of them have feelings for each other after fighting side by side for so long - just like Wen Siheng and Duan Ying.
Mu Hanshan had never thought about this question. His desire to die has overshadowed everything else.
Although he didn't know why.
The sword lights that were once directed at three people were now directed at Mu Hanshan alone. The pursuers were furious because of Xue Xingyu's escape: "Are you people from Qingji Sect not afraid of death?!"
"I just need to hold you back!"
The knife and the sword collided. After several hundred moves, blood was oozing from Mu Hanshan's body. He supported himself on the ground with his sword and tried hard to look at the dim mountains in front of him.
The sun sets, the sun sets... and soon there will be no light at all. Did Lao Wu escape in another direction? Xue Xingyu has also escaped, right? He did not implicate these two people... He has fulfilled his responsibilities as the eldest senior brother of Qiansheng Peak, right?
"Why isn't this guy dead yet?" he heard someone say.
Maybe it's time to close my eyes...Mu Hanshan thought. He has already walked the path he should have walked, and he has already fulfilled the moral duties he should have fulfilled. My heart was pounding as if it was about to burst out of the ground. In a trance, he thought he saw Xiangyang City... He was running on the road to Xiangyang City, with moonlight pouring down behind him.
Why is it Xiangyang City, why is it Moonlight? Could that be his way home?
"...I have done everything I wanted to do." He heard himself whispering, not knowing to whom he was fulfilling his promise.
The demon approached the bloody man and raised his knife to chop off his head. At this moment, he felt his head separated from his body!
He felt so light, as if he was flying!
At the same time, Mu Hanshan also saw it in his almost blood-red vision. The gray figure like a full moon rose from behind the demon!
The young man held up a long sword, the wind blew open his cloak, revealing his cold eyes.
It's like a pile of pearls are connected back by a string that should have been broken. Xiangyang City, sword, full moon, the moment of death...
It turns out that when you are on the verge of death, the moon will really rise in the sky.
"It's you..." Mu Hanshan said with difficulty, "It's you..."
Often very reluctant to fight. After he killed a group of demons in front of him, he rolled up his cloak and took Mu Hanshan away. At this moment, Shuinong's laughter came from the horizon: "Who was I thinking was here? It turns out to be Wuchang of the mob."
Chang Feichang saw her and vaguely remembered that when the fox demon clan was massacred, she followed Jiang Duo and had a conflict with him, so he frowned.
And now, she could actually blurt out the word "mob". She must have investigated him.
"Get out of the way." Chang Feichang said.
Shuinong's smile gradually faded. She said, "Who are you talking to? You should know that I am different from Shangguan Yao and the others. I am an old man who has been with Jiang Duo for four hundred years. People like you who are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth..."
"I really have seen many of them!"
The swords collided, creating a wave that pushed both men back. Chang looked at her expressionlessly and finally spat out a mouthful of blood.
Shuinong is actually a master second only to Jiang Duo!
The strong wind from the impact lifted Chang Feichang's cloak, revealing his face completely. Shuinong, who was about to continue attacking, paused for a moment. She said, "Eh," and said, "Your face..."
As she spoke, she squinted her eyes and looked at Chang Feichang's face carefully: "Your face reminds me of someone..."
"But it's a pity, I hate him very much!"
After saying that, Shuinong swung his sword again. As the two men fought, Shuinong was secretly frightened. The long sword in Chang Feichang's hand seemed not to be a sword, but a tool for killing. Every attack he made was a killing move. If it weren't for the fact that he seemed to have old injuries in his meridians and his cultivation was sluggish, Shuinong would never have been able to handle it as easily as he did today.
The national teacher of the human world was hated by demons when he was alive. Even after his death for so many years, there is still a boy who looks similar to him and is so annoying!
After Jiang Duo was sealed, Shuinong's side was suppressed for too long. Even she herself has fallen into the wilderness, and now even has to look at the faces of the younger generations of the Hehuan Sect - this is also one of the reasons why Shuinong turned Changle Sect upside down. In the expedition against the Demon Fox Clan more than a decade ago, Shuinong wanted to perform well, but who knew that not only was Jiang Duo seriously injured, she also suffered losses at the hands of the Northern Expedition Army and this masked mob.
After Shuinong suffered a loss more than ten years ago, he paid extra attention to finding out information about the unpredictable nature of the mob. But at that time, she had never seen his face, and she found that his life experience was like a fog, and it was difficult to find out from the mob. Although she saw the other person's face clearly today, after seeing the face of this young man, she suddenly felt vengeful and decided to kill him today to avenge her previous humiliation and sacrifice herself for her side.
She suddenly noticed that Wuchang's swordsmanship was crooked. She turned around and saw that Mu Hanshan, who looked like a bloody man, was lying on the ruins. Shuinong's mind changed, and he slashed towards Mu Hanshan with a knife.
Sure enough, Chang Feichang forcefully changed his sword moves and blocked in front of him!
"Who is this person? Your brother? Your apprentice? Or your lover?"
Shuinong said this, but every move of her sword was directed towards Mu Hanshan. In fact, she didn't need to do so. With her strength, she could easily defeat Chang Feichang head-on. But she just enjoyed the process of torturing her prey.
Only in this way can she be reminded of her high-spirited self four hundred years ago. At that time, she followed Jiang Duo and fought with him in various battles. She had seen the imperial master of the human world court, and also met the Buddhist disciples of Baopu Temple, and was eventually suppressed by the Buddhist disciples... She remembered the faces of these enemies clearly, and now that they have made a comeback, she must regain her strength and take revenge on them.
Finally, a ray of knife light cut into Chang Feichang's shoulder. At this moment, a sword flashed!
“Wow!”
Shuinong dodged in time, and the sword light did not cut off her arm, but it directly cut off a large piece of her clothes. The broken edge was sharp, which showed the level of this sword. When she looked up, she saw only a white and purple Taoist robe. The young man in Taoist robes had already landed beside Chang Feichang and used his sword to block the rest of the people behind him.
"Who are you?!" Shuinong asked.
The sense of oppression that this young man carries is far greater than that of ordinary people - it is the sense of oppression that only those who have not been human for many years and are superior to others can have. With just one glance at Shuinong, he could tell that he could hardly be his opponent.
One is Wuchang, and the other is a white and purple boy... What's going on these days? Why are all of them teenagers? In the world of immortal cultivation these days, are the shorter the person, the stronger they are?
"plum……"
Ning Mingmei patted Chang Feichang on the shoulder, then looked at Shuinong. He subconsciously tried to push up his glasses, but all he saw was a blank space on his face.
"I am your rival, Louis XVI."
? ?
"What Louis XVI? You've got the wrong person." Shuinong said.
Ning Mingmei raised his sword to her: "It doesn't matter. What matters is that someone wants your head, Louis XVI."
Shuinong: "Are you sure this is my head?"
So who was Louis XVI?
The surrounding demons gradually surrounded them. Chang Feichi had no time to treat the wound on his shoulder and had already stood behind Ning Mingmei with a grim look on his face. He lowered his voice and said, "Why are you here?"
Ning Mingmei said, "I'm here to get something. I'll be leaving soon."
"She is very strong." Chang Feichang said, "I will help you clear out the demon generals next to her."
Ning Mingmei said: "No need, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?"
Several demon generals heard their conversation and sneered, "This kid is really good at talking nonsense!"
"Let him have a taste of the power of our Demon Lord's direct troops!"
Seeing the sun completely sinking into the mountain ridge, Ning Mingmei pushed up his non-existent glasses and smiled. Chang Feichang continued: "These demons are very good at fighting in the dark..."
"Don't be afraid. I'm waiting for the sun to set so I can save some coffee beans." Ning Mingmei said, "It's time for my kindness to be rewarded."
Chang Feichang: “What do you mean?”
Ning Mingmei: "When I came out, I took away part of Xuezhu's graduation project just in case... and some samples of other people's graduation projects."
?
Ning Mingmei looked at the demon generals surrounding him and whispered, "You know the Demon Lord, but have you heard of the Mushroom Lord?"
"?"
Shuinong will never forget what he saw today.
Countless mushrooms gushed out. There was also a red mushroom that sucked away all the weapons in the hands of the demons.
That day, they saw the light.
The next moment, a monk in white and purple Taoist robes approached Shuinong. Just before the sword touched her throat, she finally saw the other person's face clearly.
At that moment, she shouted out two words uncontrollably: "Jiang Wu?"
