Blood splattered on Yu Zijian. Her eyes widened as she stared blankly at everything before her, as if she had fallen into an unreal nightmare. ("")
The disciples of the Green Vine mountain cried out in panic. They swung the weapons in their hands wildly, and the defensive formation that they had managed to put up immediately shattered.
Cheng Jiali suddenly felt her waist tighten. A tongue from the darkness had wrapped around her. On the other end of the tongue was a gaping mouth filled with sharp teeth.
She stabbed her sword into the ground, but she was still pulled towards the gaping mouth bit by bit. Her waist ached like it was being ripped apart. She extended her hand in despair and called out, "Save me, senior brother!"
Sure enough, Mu Zhicong approached her. She smiled happily. Her senior brother really did care about her.
With a bang, Mu Zhicong slammed his palm against Cheng Jiali's chest as hard as he could.
She crashed straight into the monster's bloody mouth. She was already dead in mid-air. Her towering chest had now collapsed into a mess of flesh and blood. An expression of disbelief still remained on her face.
Mu Zhicong curled up. While Cheng Jiali stuffed up the daemon's mouth, he leapt up and actually leapt out of the daemons' encirclement. A huge boar-like daemon leapt up with a speed that did not match its colossal body, hurtling towards Mu Zhicong like a cannonball.
Mu Zhicong pushed off with the tip of his foot and stood on his flying sword. He leapt over thirty meters away and heard a rumble behind him. The huge boar-like boar had collided with the ceiling of the cave, causing rocks to collapse and dust to rise into the air.
He could vaguely hear a few cries of despair. "Senior brother, don't abandon us!" "Save us, senior brother!"
He did not hear Yu Zijian's voice. He had no idea whether it was hidden among the voices. He made up his mind. "Don't blame me. It's better for me to survive than to die with you. There's nothing I can do about it."
For some reason, the monsters did not chase after him. Before the ecstasy of surviving a disaster could even surge out of his heart, he ran into a black iron wall in a panic.
Li Qingshan sensed the tiny figure that had run over. He grabbed and squeezed almost instinctively. There was a crack, and his hand became drenched in blood. ("")
Looking at the dead man's face that was bleeding from all seven orifices, he realized that he seemed to have seen this person somewhere before. After thinking carefully, he remembered Mu Zhicong's name.
He didn't know about Mu Zhicong's plot against him. He scratched his head and felt very embarrassed. But since he was underground, he could only feel embarrassed.
For him, remembering this kind of thing once was enough.
Sensing the aura within the dust cloud, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that he had arrived in time. As long as she was fine, everything would be fine.
When Mu Zhicong used Cheng Jiali's corpse to leave, Yu Zijian closed her eyes and pursed her lips. If she encountered something she could not accept and was powerless to stop, wasn't this how humans behaved?
She even wanted to cover her ears so that she could not hear the screams coming from beside her. However, her hand was holding the sword hilt so tightly that her knuckles turned white. It was as if she was going to crush the hilt, but she did not pull it out.
At this moment, what was the use of drawing the sword?
The smell of blood and scorching heat flooded her face. Death was right before her eyes. Many scenes flashed through her mind. As it turned out, her father was right. When people faced death, they would really recall their entire lives.
Even though her life was extremely short, it was filled with sunshine and joy. She had received her father's care and love from her fellow disciples. However, this only worsened the pain before death.
Without Mu Zhicong, the daemons basically finished off the remaining disciples in no time at all. It was as easy as picking up food with chopsticks.
Just when their sharp claws and teeth were about to reach Yu Zijian, they suddenly stopped. An order rang out from the darkness through daemon qi. The order was very simple. If it was translated into human language, it would be two words, "Piss off!"
Their claws and teeth no longer dared to advance any further. They slowly retreated, turning around and fleeing frantically. Their roars vanished into the depths of the cavern.
Li Qingshan shook his head and emerged from the darkness. He suppressed his daemon qi again and recovered his appearance as Niu Juxia. The Sacred Church
I don't want to die! Yu Zijian suddenly drew her sword and stabbed forward as hard as she could. Her desire to live had turned into courage. Even if it was pointless, she would struggle.
However, to no surprise, her sword missed. Her hand fell into the clamping grasp, but it was not devoured or ripped apart like she had imagined.
A voice rang out vaguely, as if it was calling out her name. "Zijian! Zijian! "
She seemed to wake up from a nightmare. She gradually made out the person before her. His simple face and tall figure were all so familiar. She rubbed her eyes and said in disbelief, "Niu Juxia?"
Li Qingshan said, "Isn't that me? Why have you come underground? Were you threatened by the people of the Green Vine mountain? "Little did he know that before he appeared, participating in the Herb Gathering ceremony had always been a good thing.
Yu Zijian looked into his warm eyes and felt like she had been wronged. In the end, she burst into tears and threw herself into Li Qingshan's arms.
Li Qingshan was mildly surprised. He embraced her gently and patted her back until she gradually calmed down. Only then did he say, "Let's go. Let's get out of here. The smell of blood here will attract daemonic beasts." Her soft body seemed to calm down the restless killing intent in his heart slightly.
His extraordinary composure infected her. She stopped sobbing and raised her head. Her eyes were red as she looked at Li Qingshan in confusion. "Where are we going?"
Li Qingshan thought, She's still a child at the end of the day. Everything that she has gone through today is probably even more difficult for her to endure than ordinary people. For some reason, he thought of a saying. So-called kindness is just not understanding the evils of the world. So-called purity is just not being tainted by the world.
"Above ground, obviously."
Li Qingshan released her and made his way into the cavern.
Yu Zijian followed him in a hurry. She grabbed Li Qingshan's hand like a drowning person grabbing onto a piece of driftwood.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here," Li Qingshan said gently.
"Yeah." Yu Zijian's heart warmed up. She bit her lip and nodded gently.
The two of them advanced through the cavern. Li Qingshan led the way at the front, while Yu Zijian followed closely behind him. She was afraid to fall behind. The gloomy cavern was cramped and oppressive. Every single strange rock seemed like a vicious daemon in the darkness.
She was afraid to look at anything. She only stared at the tall figure as if she was looking at the only source of light in the darkness.
Li Qingshan strode forward, choosing his path without any hesitation at all. He was the one who had arranged for the daemons to guard, so he avoided these places and made his way to the surface. However, as Yu Zijian's cultivation was just too low, she struggled to keep up with him, even when he did his best to slow down.
Suddenly, he stopped and turned around to Yu Zijian. "Let's hurry up!" Although the underground battle this time was basically guaranteed to be victorious under his arrangements, he still had to pay attention to the battlefield at all times as the commander. He could not help but feel slightly uneasy.
Before Yu Zijian could even respond, she felt like she was riding on a cloud, landing on Li Qingshan's arm.
"Can I?" Li Qingshan lowered his head and asked. He also knew that it was inappropriate for men and women to touch each other, but she was as light as a fallen leaf. If she was unwilling, he could carry her on his back, or carry her on his back. He could even carry her by hand.
"Yes," Yu Zijian also lowered her head and said softly.
Li Qingshan nodded. Like a fierce gust of wind, he moved through the cavern quickly.
All Yu Zijian saw was the still cavern suddenly begin to move. It twisted left and right rapidly, constantly widening and narrowing. From time to time, a huge cavern would appear. It was like they were advancing through the wriggling intestines of a huge beast.
As they moved upwards, Fu Qingjin constantly moved downwards. He had broken away from the group from the Green Vine mountain right from the beginning, moving underground alone. He was like a speck of green light that flowed through the darkness. Just as the other Qi Practitioners were still in the shallower depths of the cavern, picking spiritual herbs and killing daemonic beasts, he had already reached the very depths.
He had no idea about the battle and slaughter happening above him. Even if he knew, he would not care. It was like he had a clear objective. He advanced, advanced, and advanced. He did not hesitate at all when he chose a fork in the road.
Along the way, he encountered a few Demonic Beasts that blocked his way. However, before those Demonic Beasts could even react, all they saw was a streak of azure light flashing past them. There was no way for them to chase after him. Furthermore, the spirit flowers and spirit herbs that grew in the darkness could not stop him at all.
He only had a single objective this time. Apart from that, nothing else was worth the risk of leaving behind traces.
Finally, a speck of blue light flashed through his eyes.
Only then did he stop and observe the wondrous flower dancing in the air.
Blue Butterfly flowers. It seemed like this was the place!
He continued onwards, finally arriving before the sea of Blue Butterfly flowers. A sliver of shock appeared in his tired eyes. Originally, he thought he had seen all the beautiful scenery in the world, but he never thought there would be an unknown holy land like this underground.
He looked past the sea of flowers and saw Milliped lying on the platform. He smiled. It was the smile of a hunter who had found his prey.
Daemons were not worthy of a place like this!
Fu Qingjin crossed over the sea of flowers alone. Countless blue butterflies fluttered around him before suddenly falling back into the sea of flowers together, turning back into petals. Not a single butterfly danced in the air anymore.
Milliped, who could not wake up no matter how he slept, opened his eyes and straightened up. He looked at Fu Qingjin blankly.
Their eyes met, and killing intent surged.
Fu Qingjin was in no hurry to draw his sword. Instead, he took out a stick of incense from his hundred treasures pouch. The stick of incense was not particularly thick, but as soon as it was lit, it immediately gave off a heavy smell.
Milliped was originally a daemon transformed from a venomous insect, so he was not afraid of any poison. However, as soon as he caught a whiff of the fragrance, he felt extremely intoxicated, like a person who had starved for three days running into a table of delicacies.
Fu Qingjin suddenly turned around and left. He left even faster than he had arrived. Milliped chased after him involuntarily.
A man and a daemon, one fleeing and one chasing, they rushed towards the surface.
Fu Qingjin thought, The effects of this insect-luring incense really are impressive. Even though carapaced daemons have transformed into Daemon Generals, they still act on instinct. They're as stupid as can be. As long as I lure them to the surface, I can kill them openly. The three elders will be waiting for me outside.
