"Xiao He, are you okay?"
Seeing Sheng He leaning on the sword and staggering in the water, Yun Qianshan hurried forward to support Sheng He.
"I'm fine. How's Senior Sister Mu?"
"I just gave Xiaoyao some medicine. She is still unconscious, but her complexion has recovered. It should be nothing serious."
As Yun Qianshan spoke, he glanced at the Jindan killer entangled by the vines and the cultivators on the Xiaoxiang Terrace, his eyes stern: "What should we do with these people?"
“No hurry.”
Sheng He glanced at the killers. They had just witnessed how she killed Xuan Xiao, but there was no fear on their faces. Some of them even tried to break free from the vines when they saw that Sheng He was seriously injured. However, the more they struggled, the tighter the vines became.
So fearless of death, this is... someone from the Seven Killing Pavilion.
Sheng He retracted his gaze and looked at Shen Ci, who was huddled in the corner of the stage without saying a word, and asked, "Did you hire all these people?"
Shen Ci raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at Sheng He, and suddenly laughed as if he had made a decision: "It doesn't matter if it's me who did it, or it doesn't matter if it's not me? Sheng He, don't think I can't see that you are already at the end of your rope!"
"Do you think you can escape?"
As soon as Shen Ci finished speaking, the sky suddenly darkened. Countless black clouds rolled around, and faint purple light could be seen flashing among the clouds, as if a huge storm was brewing.
Shen Ci bit his finger with a grim smile, and actually used all his blood and energy to draw a seventh-grade thunder talisman!
He drew a few fire talismans and threw them into the lake at random. The fire talismans burned in the wind, and the entire lake was instantly engulfed in flames.
The vines that entangled the killers retreated immediately. Shen Ci raised his head and smiled wildly at the black clouds rolling in the sky: "Sheng He, let's die together!"
"Come on! Let's die together!"
At this moment, a loud "boom" of thunder sounded in the sky, and several killers drew their weapons and rushed towards Sheng He!
Yun Qianshan was horrified. She didn't care about anything else. She supported Sheng He with one hand and quickly took out the pipa and plucked the strings with the other hand.
As the exciting music sounded, the killer's movements slowed down for a moment, and then he was lost in the illusion created by the music.
Sheng He leaned in Yun Qianshan's arms, closed her eyes, raised her hand to wipe the blood flowing from the corner of her eyes, and put two fingers of her right hand together to activate her natal sword.
A loud dragon roar was heard from the sky. Undercurrents suddenly surged at the bottom of the lake. Streams of water gushed out from the bottom of the lake and instantly evaporated in the fire.
“Boom!”
There was another loud bang, and a huge purple thunder suddenly fell, striking straight towards the Xiaoxiang Terrace which was in flames.
“Hahahahaha! Sheng He, stop struggling, it’s useless, let’s die together!”
Shen Ci raised his arms to welcome the thunder, his face full of madness.
But before the thunder could fall, the Longyin Sword suddenly stood above the Xiaoxiang Terrace. Countless silts rose from the bottom of the lake and formed a solid earth cage around the Xiaoxiang Terrace.
The mud was originally soft and the earth cage would soon collapse, but the fire burning around it continued to absorb the moisture in the mud.
"Boom!" With a sound, thunder fell from the sky. The Dragon Roar Sword kept humming and took the initiative to face the direction where the thunder fell.
Dragon bones are the hardest thing in the world. Even if a seventh-grade purple lightning falls on it, it will not damage the sword at all.
Most of the power of the heavenly thunder was diverted by the Dragon Roar Sword, and the remaining lightning followed the blade of the Dragon Roar Sword and fell into the earth cage.
The monks hiding in the earth cages looked at the crackling purple electric light and huddled together tightly, not daring to even breathe.
The purple electric light fell on the earth cage, and was only arrogant for a moment, then quickly fell into the lake along the mud, and finally disappeared.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Ci immediately drew an explosive talisman to break the earth cage.
The people who had just breathed a sigh of relief immediately became nervous again. Seeing that Sheng He and Yun Qianshan were too busy to spare any time, one of the cultivators pulled out a big knife from his back without hesitation and slashed towards Shen Ci.
"You f*cking don't want to live, but I still do!"
"I just listened for a long time, it turns out that these assassins were hired by you, a bastard!"
The big knife was getting closer and closer to him and was about to fall on him. Shen Ci didn't bother to break the earth cage and quickly threw the blasting talisman in his hand at the big man who was rushing towards him.
"Bang!" The big man was blown all over and his body was charred black. His body holding the knife was also pushed back a few steps by the blast.
But the next moment, he was so angry that his beard stood up, and he rushed towards Shen Ci again with a knife in hand.
"How dare you blast me, you bastard! I'm going to chop you up today!"
A trace of fear finally appeared on Shen Ci's arrogant face. He thought that the man holding the knife was a weapon cultivator, but he didn't expect that the other party was actually a physical cultivator with thick skin and flesh!
Shen Ci hurriedly took out the talisman paper and drew the talisman again, but before he could finish, the other cultivators followed the big man and rushed towards Shen Ci.
"If you want to steal the gold stone, just do it. Why are you trapping us here?"
"Wuling Valley only opens once every sixty years. Do you know how long I have been waiting?"
"You bastard, if you want to die, go alone, don't drag us down with you!"
"You are courting death if you dare to mess with our Qingyun Sect!"
Seeing so many cultivators rushing towards him, Shen Ci's hands were shaking as he drew the talisman.
After an unknown amount of time, the thunder outside gradually died down.
Sheng He vomited a large mouthful of blood and was no longer able to support himself, his hands hanging down helplessly.
The earthen cage slowly disintegrated, revealing the azure blue sky outside. The dark clouds had dispersed, and the killers guarding outside were struck by thunder, becoming unconscious and foaming at the mouth. They fell to the ground in a mess, and were burned by the fire, wailing in pain in the lake.
Yun Qianshan looked at Sheng He, who was covered in blood, and then at Mu Yao, who was still unconscious. He sighed, and picked them up with difficulty, one hand each.
"Senior sister...Jin Shi..."
Sheng He still retained a bit of rationality, but she really had no strength left, and her vision was blurred by the bright red blood. She could only rub Yun Qianshan's shoulder gently.
"Okay, don't worry, Senior Sister will get it for you."
When Yun Qianshan saw Sheng He like this, her nose felt sore and she almost cried. Sheng He was the youngest among the three of them, and she was supposed to stand in front of Sheng He, but now Sheng He was badly injured in order to protect her and Mu Yao.
Yun Qianshan sniffed and tried hard to suppress the moisture in the corners of his eyes. When he looked up at Shen Ci, his eyes were full of anger.
"Bring the gold and stone here!"
Shen Ci was beaten black and blue and was dying. He curled up into a ball, staring at the lake with lifeless eyes, as if he didn't hear Yun Qianshan's words at all.
Just as Yun Qianshan was about to step forward, he saw a Qingyun Sect disciple kick the dazed Shen Ci and diligently bring up the gold and stone.
