Huang Shengyi stood in the sky, overlooking the mountains below.
The Yue Mountain was one of the famous mountains in the Western Qin Empire. It stretched for hundreds of miles and was famous for its thickness, heaviness, magnificence, and magnificence.
For thousands of years, the gate of the Yue Mountain Faction had been standing on the top of the Central Yue Mountain, which was the center of the mountain range. Neither the human race nor the demon race had ever conquered that place.
The Yue Mountain Faction was one of the most powerful factions in the Western Qin Empire, second only to the Guanshan Pasture.
But now, the war had come. In the past day, the Yue Mountain Faction had lost all the industries and territories outside the faction. The once prosperous area had been reduced to ruins and scorched earth. After thousands of corpses were left behind, the Yue Mountain Faction retreated to the gate of the Central Main Peak.
Shouts and fighting noises were heard incessantly.
Waves of energy rippled around the Central Main Peak of the Yue Mountain Faction. All kinds of energy splendor were flashing crazily.
Huang Shengyi stood high in the sky. In his eyes, the scene of death and wailing was as splendid as fireworks.
Those days were the most glorious days for Huang Shengyi.
In his heart, he was extremely pleased with himself.
To be honest, even he had never dreamed that in just over half a year, he had already secured the top position of the Guanshan Pasture and the actual control of one of the top nine Holy Clans in the world. Half a year ago, when Li Poyue, the Guanshan Master, was still there, he dared not even dream about it.
But now, his dream had come true.
"Head, the people of the Yue Mountain Faction are now holed up in the mountain-protecting tactical deployment. We can't break it for the time being. We've lost a lot of people." A burly bald man, carrying two black axes as big as door planks on his back, leaped over and said, "Head, do you want to continue the attack? Please tell us."
Huang Shengyi nodded and said in a dignified tone, "The Yue Mountain Faction is a first-class sect after all. It has been passed on for a thousand years. Back then, it was famous all over the world. It was not inferior to the top nine Holy Clans. If not …"
At this point, he seemed to realize something. He changed the subject and said with a sneer, "The Mountain-protecting Tactical Deployment of the Yue Mountain Faction is called the All-side Starlight Deployment, which was passed down from the royal family of the Great Moon Empire. It's very powerful. Even a Sage can't break it in a short time. You ask all our trusted masters to come down and let the disciples of the Wind and Cloud Sect, the Thunder and Lightning Sect, the Dancing Phoenix Sect, and the Great River Gang charge at it. This All-side Starlight Deployment consumes the essence of the world the most. Hehe, let's see how long the Yue Mountain Faction can last."
They were going to use human lives to fill the gap.
The sects he mentioned were all the sects of the Western Qin Empire that were forced to attack the Yue Mountain Faction. Many of them were experts who used to be loyal to the Guanshan Pasture and Li Poyue, the Guanshan Master. They were forced to attack the Taishan Faction by Huang Shengyi in the name of the Guanshan Pasture.
In the past few days, he had spread the news that Qiu Yin had colluded with Xu Sheng and betrayed the former head Li Poyue. He had committed such a heinous crime that everyone had the right to punish him.
Since he had taken control of Guanshan City, he occupied the moral high ground and the general trend.
The only thing he regretted was that he failed to kill Xu Sheng, Qiu Yin, and the others in Guanshan City that day. Instead, they escaped and ran all the way to the Yue Mountain Faction. He had underestimated Qiu Yin's strength. On that day, Qiu Yin, who had not been seen for eight months, displayed a strength that was far beyond what he had ever shown. With a strange crimson broadsword that he had never shown, he carved out a bloody path … If he had killed Xu Sheng and Qiu Yin in Guanshan City that day, all his plans would have been carried out smoothly.
The battle cries continued.
Huang Shengyi wore a callous and cruel look on his face.
Like cannon fodder, the disciples of the Wind and Cloud Sect and the other twenty-odd sects were herded to bombard the main peak of the Yue Mountain, constantly shaking the mountain-protecting tactical deployment of the Yue Mountain Faction and consuming its energy. Compared with a day ago, the coverage of the All-side Starlight Deployment had shrunk by half. By then, it could barely protect the main peak.
Four hours later.
Several beams of light flashed.
They were the heads of the Wind and Cloud Sect and the other forces.
"Deputy Head Huang, we can't attack anymore. Almost all our disciples are dead," said the head of the Wind and Cloud Sect.
He was a first-step expert in the Celestial Being Realm. His face was wizened and looked a little haggard.
"Eh?" Huang Shengyi took a look and sneered. "Back then, you and Qiu Yin, the Broadsword Man, were best friends. What do you mean by saying that? Are you going to shield Qiu Yin, the traitor who betrayed his master and killed his ancestors? Kill! "
He directly launched an attack. A streak of red light directly wrapped up the head of the Wind and Cloud Sect.
"Ah …" In a shrill scream, the head of the Wind and Cloud Sect was directly burned into a cloud of flying ashes by the red fire.
Huang Shengyi's eyes were as sharp as a knife. He glanced at the heads of the other sects, and his killing intent was as cold as ice. He said coldly, "If anyone dares to slack off, he will end up like this … Guards, kill all the disciples of the Wind and Cloud Sect. From now on, there will be no more Wind and Cloud Sect."
…
…
"It's my fault that the Yue Mountain Faction got into trouble."
Qiu Yin's face was snow-white, and his breath was weak.
Standing at the door of the main hall, he gazed into the distance outside the mountain-protecting tactical deployment. From the foot of the mountain to the gate, the attackers were as dense as flying locusts.
Bad news came like rain.
At noon that day, more bad news came.
The army of the imperial court also appeared at the foot of the mountain and joined the attack on the Yue Mountain Faction.
That also meant that the royal family of the Western Qin and Huang Shengyi had reached some kind of agreement, or formed an alliance. With the appearance of the Flying Arrow Battalion in the imperial army, the Celestial Being Realm experts in the royal Executive Group and many experts in the Supervisory Department, the alliance to attack the Yue Mountain Faction was terrifyingly powerful. It was a combination of forces from many aspects. Even the Yue Mountain Faction at its peak could not withstand the attack of so many experts at the same time.
Given the current situation, the Yue Mountain Faction could only hold on for one more day and night at most. After that, the gate would be broken.
Qiu Yin felt guilty.
For him, the Yue Mountain Faction was plunged into disaster.
Now, the faction had lost more than half of its disciples, and its thousand-year foundation was about to be destroyed.
That day, the situation was really critical. He and Xu Sheng had no other choice but to flee to the Yue Mountain Faction, which was the nearest to the Guanshan Pasture. They planned to stay for a while to replenish supplies and then go to the pasture to seek refuge with his brother Guo Yuqing. Because Qiu Yin was well aware that under the current situation, only the Wolf Temple controlled by Guo Yuqing could protect him. But it was a pity that Huang Shengyi's pursuers were too fast. As soon as they arrived at the Yue Mountain Faction, the pursuers caught up with them and surrounded the Yue Mountain Faction. They tried several times but failed to get out of the mountain. Instead, they lost a lot of men.
Now, they were trapped in the lonely mountain and were about to be defeated.
Xu Sheng had lost his arms and his strength was greatly reduced. Although he was supported by others, he did not look weary at all. Gazing in the direction where Huang Shengyi was in the distance, he bellowed angrily, "That traitor Huang! How dare he do such a thing! There must be someone backing him up. With his power, he can't dispatch the imperial army, the imperial Executives, and the Supervisory Department at the same time.
Who on earth has such great power? "Qiu Yin said," I've also thought about that. Although Huang Shengyi is a Semi-Sage, he was defeated by my third brother. In daily life, he is the kind of man who has the heart but not the guts to do such a thing. Nor does he have the guts to rebel in Guanshan City. Even if he colluded with Extra-terrestrial Devils, it is impossible for him to manipulate the imperial army and the Supervisory Department. There must be someone in the royal family secretly manipulating everything. "
Beside them were Xu Yue, the current Head of the Yue Mountain Faction, his two Guardians of Rules, and dozens of elders. All of them looked indignant.
"Master's body can't fall into the hands of those scoundrels." Qiu Yin's eyes flickered. He gazed into the distance and heaved a sigh. Then, he spun around abruptly and bowed to Xu Yue, the Head of the Yue Mountain Faction, saying, "Head Xu, I've brought this disaster upon you and implicated so many good men of the Yue Mountain Faction. I really feel guilty. Please chop off my head and offer it to that traitor Huang. That way, the Yue Mountain Faction may be spared from this disaster."
Xu Yue's countenance changed immediately. He bellowed, "My young friend Qiu, what do you mean by that?"
Qiu Yin opened his mouth to explain.
But Xu Yue directly cut him off and said resolutely, "Don't say that again. Although our Yue Mountain Faction can't turn the tide, we will never add insult to injury. Over the past 1,000 years, the backbone of the Yue Mountain Faction has never been bent. This time, even if our faction is to be wiped out, we will fight to the end. Now, the world is in a state of turmoil. If all the major factions only care about the snow in front of their own door and ignore the frost on the roof of others, I'm afraid it won't be long before the dark age comes again. This time, we will use the blood of our Yue Mountain Faction to arouse the righteousness in the hearts of those martial artists who still have a conscience. We will also tell people like Huang Shengyi that not everyone in the world will succumb to force."
His words were resolute and decisive.
"Young Hero Qiu, are you looking down on our Yue Mountain Faction by saying that?"
"Even if we have to shed our last drop of blood, the Yue Mountain Faction will never bend our knees to Huang Shengyi."
"The majestic Yue Mountain Faction never breeds cowards."
The other experts of the Yue Mountain Faction beside him also looked indignant and expressed their opinions.
That faction, which usually kept a low profile and rarely got involved in Jianghu disputes, showed unprecedented unity and toughness in this war.
Qiu Yin sighed with emotion.
Among the top nine Holy Clans, the internal strife in Mount Qingcheng and the internal strife in the Guanshan Pasture could not compare to that of the Yue Mountain Faction.
Sometimes, it takes more courage to live than to die in battle. If I give up my head, I can save the Yue Mountain Faction and my Master's body. Besides, I have two sworn brothers. My elder brother is in charge of the Wolf Temple on the vast pasture, and my third brother is the king of Taibai Mountain. They are my sworn brothers. When they hear the news, they will definitely avenge me and preserve the inheritance of the Yue Mountain Faction. "
He spoke very seriously. He was neither impulsive nor fearless. His analysis was very rational.
Xu Sheng also nodded and said, "Broadsword Man Qiu Yin, you are a real hero … Your head is not enough. That Huang Shengyi must bear a grudge against me. How about this? Only by taking my head can we appease that Huang Shengyi and save the Yue Mountain Faction …"
"Elder, you can't do that."
"Master, you can't do that …"
Xu Yue, the Head, and the others all turned pale.
Xu Sheng laughed heartily and said calmly, "Well, anyway, my arms have been cut off. Without my fists, how can I be called the Sky-cracking Punch? I'm just a good-for-nothing. If I can save the Yue Mountain Faction with my life, won't I be happy?" He had indeed seen through life and death and did not care about it anymore.
The entire Head's Hall was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
Qiu Yin raised his palm, and a long blood-red broadsword appeared. He said, "I got this Magic Blood Broadsword from the Everlasting Heaven on the vast pasture. My third brother, Li Mu, is good at broadsword-using methods. After I die, give this broadsword to him. Then, he will know the painstaking efforts of today's meeting and won't blame you …" As he spoke, he swung the broadsword backhandedly and was about to cut his own throat.
The others paled. It was too late to stop him.
But at that moment, a sudden change took place.
In the distant sky, a jet of light broke through the air like a demonic sword.
"Li Mu is here. Where is my brother, Qiu Yin?"
A clear and drawn-out shout was like the thunder of creation, and it rumbled from afar. It surged through the heavens and the earth and caused the sea of clouds that covered the sky to surge.
The troops attacking the Yue Mountain Faction at the foot of the mountain and the experts besieging in the sky all felt dizzy in an instant. They all looked to the side and saw a jet of broadsword light coming from the boundless sky. It was so dazzling that it split the sky and did not disperse for a long time. The broadsword Qi pierced through the air. As if a god had been enraged, the broadsword Qi tore the sky apart and chopped some experts of the Yellow Family in the periphery of the sky into pieces as if a sickle was cutting wheat.
"Who is that?"
At that moment, countless experts felt their souls trembling.
Some people also came to their senses and heard the words.
"Li Mu is here."
"Lord Taibai Li Mu, the poetic and martial immortal of Chang 'an?"
"He is the youngest Sage-to-be in the Western Qin Empire and a fierce man who once captured Huang Shengyi, the Fire Devil!"
"It is said that even a prince was killed by him."
"Is he the brother of Qiu Yin, the Broadsword Man?" When did this happen?
At the gate of the Head's Hall of the Yue Mountain Faction, Qiu Yin, whose Killing Blood Saber was already pressed against his neck, was slightly taken aback when he heard the shout. His hand hesitated for a second. But when he saw the long river of sunlight in the sky, all of a sudden, for no reason, the enormous pressure weighing on his heart completely disappeared.
Although he was younger than Qiu Yin, Li Mu's miraculous abilities made Qiu Yin feel inferior.
"So soon?" Xu Sheng was also surprised, and then he was overjoyed.
He had just sent the blood-written request for help yesterday. By the time he arrived at Taibai Mountain, it would have been this morning. But in less than four hours, Li Mu had already arrived. Such speed … Even if a Sage went all out, he wouldn't be able to do that, would he?
Xu Yue, the head of the Yue Mountain Faction, and the other leaders of the sect were overjoyed.
Li Mu's name alone was enough to give all the disciples of the Yue Mountain Faction a shot of adrenaline.
Because Li Mu had once captured Huang Shengyi alive.
Finally, there was a heavyweight reinforcement.
…
"Li Mu!"
After a brief moment of astonishment, Huang Shengyi's eyes blazed with uncontrollable fury.
For a period, that name had been his nightmare, making him unable to eat or sleep in peace.
That was not only because Li Mu had once defeated him in a head-on battle, but also because he was shocked by the abilities Li Mu showed during the time he was imprisoned in Taibai County. Moreover, even Li Poyue, the Guanshan Master, had taken Li Mu's side. Therefore, after Huang Shengyi returned to Guanshan City, he did not dare to show any intention of retaliating against Li Mu.
But now, everything was different.
Now that he had the power and the broadsword in his hand, how could he not seek revenge?
He had planned to deal with Li Mu after taking care of Qiu Yin and stabilizing Guanshan City.
But to his surprise, Li Mu came to him at that moment.
"Who will help me kill this man?" Huang Shengyi asked, looking around.
However, in an instant, his trusted subordinates, including the burly bald expert carrying a pair of black axes on his back, all paled and did not dare to answer.
As the saying went, a man's reputation was like a tree's shadow.
Who in the Western Qin Empire did not know Lord Taibai, Li Mu?
He was a ruthless man who could capture a Semi-Sage!
They did not have the confidence to intercept such a martial arts genius.
"Humph." Huang Shengyi snorted, very disappointed and dissatisfied.
Everyone kept quiet out of fear.
"I'll capture him myself to avenge the humiliation I suffered that day," he said slowly, his eyes full of confidence.
Today, he was no longer the Semi-Sage he once was.
Today was the day to avenge the humiliation.
He sneered, and the fiery natural qi swirled around him. Then, he turned into a towering pillar of fire, stirred up the sea of fire, and swept toward that jet of broadsword light.
The fiery red was flowing with imperceptible evil qi.
"Li Mu, today, the foot of the Yue Mountain will be your burial place." Huang Shengyi's will was soaring. His fighting spirit was soaring, and his voice spread like rolling thunder.
Flames were flowing around him, making him look like a god of fire. His surging aura covered the sky as if it was burning the sky. In an instant, everyone felt as if they were in a hell of fire. The scorching heat swept across the earth, as if ten suns were burning at the same time. On some higher mountains, the woods were immediately set ablaze, wrapped in the power of heaven and earth, and surrounded that jet of broadsword light, as if it was going to burn it into ashes.
The power of a Sage made people tremble.
"Hahaha, I was wondering who dared to stir up trouble. Turns out it's you." Li Mu's voice sounded, with undisguised disdain and contempt. "How dare a loser like you speak so boldly?"
The jet of broadsword light split the sky, with unparalleled sharpness, and directly chopped at the fiercest part of the sea of fire.
"Watch out, Huang Shengyi has mastered the evil power …" In the distance, Qiu Yin could not help but warn.
Today, Huang Shengyi was many times stronger than before. He had turned to the Extra-terrestrial Devil and merged with the evil power, which was very terrifying.
However, it was too late to warn him.
Under the gaze of countless people, the jet of broadsword light directly cut open the sea of fire. The flames were divided into two like water, and a huge crack appeared. The point of the broadsword was pointing at the figure of Huang Shengyi, the Fire Devil, in the middle of the sea of fire.
The all-encompassing flames were actually unable to withstand this incomparably resplendent silver saber light.
However, Huang Shengyi burst into laughter.
"Haha, you've fallen into my trap."
As his voice faded, black light suddenly swirled in Huang Shengyi's eyes.
In an instant, his eyes were no longer the pupils of a human, but those of a beast or a demon, emitting cold cruelty. He pinched his hands into a strange seal, and wisps of black mist, like thousands of tentacles, shot out from his eyes and scattered into the sea of fire. In an instant, as if ink was poured into water, the sea of fire all over the sky turned into a strange and horrible ink-black color. Strange waves surged wildly in the black sea of fire.
If the scarlet sea of fire from before had emitted a terrifying heat that was like raging waves, then the pure black sea of fire at this moment brought about a soundless coldness that was like death.
In an instant, the sky turned dark, as if someone had shot down the two suns.
There was only darkness between heaven and earth.
"Li Mu, go to hell." Huang Shengyi's voice was like the call of death in the darkness.
At this moment, the original jet of broadsword light that split the sky and split the sky became only a tiny bright light, like a glimmer of candlelight in the wind, about to be extinguished at any time. It was as fragile as a strand of hair that weighed a thousand kilograms, about to break and be annihilated at any time.
In an instant, it seemed that the winner had been decided.
"Hahaha, Li Mu, today you are destined to die in my hands." Huang Shengyi couldn't help laughing complacently. His laughter was filled with the satisfaction of revenge and invincible power. "Today, I will behead Li Mu and destroy the Yue Mountain Faction. It is the time for me, the Fire Devil, to rise. You are all destined to be my stepping stones."
Before his voice died away —
"Really?"
Li Mu's sarcastic voice sounded.
A scarlet spark flashed in the midst of the black flames that filled the sky.
Then, an incredible thing happened.
As if a spark was thrown into kerosene, with a boom, the whole sky seemed to be ignited, and the black flames were instantly replaced by the red ones. In an instant, the world was restored to light. But different from the flames controlled by Huang Shengyi, the Fire Devil, this red flame only brought light, without the terrible heat.
However, Huang Shengyi's panic-stricken screams rang in the ears of everyone within a hundred miles.
"Ah … It's impossible. You … can also control fire?" A figure surrounded by red flames was frantically struggling in the sea of fire, which was particularly conspicuous. Who else could it be but Huang Shengyi? The Semi-Sage who had been playing with fire all day long, at this time, was being burned like an ordinary person, screaming and struggling miserably.
In the sea of fire, a jet of broadsword light appeared.
Above the broadsword light, a short-haired handsome young man in a white suit stood as straight as a javelin.
"Are you surprised? It shouldn't be. After staying in Taibai County for so long, you should know that I know a lot of things. "
Li Mu smiled.
"Ah, why is it like this? I can't accept it …" Huang Shengyi struggled in the red flames, dancing wildly.
He activated his Half-saint power and tried to control the fire, but it was to no avail. The Secret Technique of Controlling Fire, which he was very familiar with, was useless in the face of such a scarlet flame. The fire snakes wrapped around him and frantically devoured his vitality. He was instantly drowned in great pain, as if thousands of insects were gnawing at his heart.
Huang Shengyi, who was called the Fire Devil, was good at refining elixirs and controlling goods. Even the strange fires in the world could be controlled by him. The red fire he cultivated was originally one of the top ten strange fires in the world. Who would have thought that it would be killed by Li Mu in the end?
It was also his bad luck that he met Li Mu, who obtained the Five Emperors' Immortality Scriptures from the Everlasting Heaven.
The Taoist True Fire of the Southern Fire Emperor was the fire of Taoist magic arts in the universe. Once a sage touched it, he would be in big trouble, not to mention that Huang Shengyi was barely a sage with the help of the evil qi. Moreover, the most important thing was that the Taoist True Fire could restrain the evil qi. It was like gasoline meeting a spark, and it would ignite at any time.
No one knew how much evil qi Huang Shengyi had absorbed and stored in his body.
In front of the Taoist True Fire, he was simply a gasoline barrel filled with gasoline. How could he not die?
