The underground river in the culvert had long dried up, and in the distance, rocks had collapsed, blocking the river. The remaining part of the culvert was full of strange rocks, which looked like demons baring their fangs and brandishing their claws in the darkness, giving people the feeling that they had come to the gates of hell.
Afraid of exposing his target, Zhang Yuanshan did not light a match. He relied on his Eye Apertures to move forward with the help of the faint light from outside. Fu Zhenzhen tightly held onto his clothes and followed him. Although her eyesight was not as good as Zhang Yuanshan's, she felt a strange sense of security in the darkness, as if she could wholeheartedly trust and rely on Zhang Yuanshan.
After bypassing a strange rock, Zhang Yuanshan stopped and did not go deeper. If he did, he would not be able to detect the sandstorm and miss the opportunity to attack.
"Shadow Kill" was born with night vision, and the martial arts he exchanged were all about concealment, concealment, and assassination. After sneaking into the culvert, he was like a fish in water, quietly approaching Zhang Yuanshan and Fu Zhenzhen.
In the deep darkness, Shadow Kill seemed to blend into it. He moved forward step by step, and soon, he was only ten feet away from Zhang Yuanshan and Fu Zhenzhen.
He pressed his right hand on the short sword, arched his body, and concentrated his strength and genuine Qi on one point, ready to launch a surprise attack. His assassination technique was simple and unadorned, but the effect was amazing.
Zhang Yuanshan held the Winged-python Sword tightly and put on a Tai Chi Defense. His mid-brows were swollen, and he projected his Will-projecting to guard against a sneak attack.
Suddenly, he had an idea. Without thinking, he drew the long sword in front of Fu Zhenzhen, from bottom to top, as if drawing a beautiful circle.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing echoed in the culvert, and then disappeared. Silence reigned, as if everything that had happened just now was an illusion.
Zhang Yuanshan's defense was watertight, not giving the enemy any chance. But he was quite nervous, because after the missed attack, the enemy had disappeared into the darkness. He did not know where he was hiding or when he would attack again.
From the feeling of the fight just now, Zhang Yuanshan realized that even if the opponent's strength was not as good as his, it would not be difficult for him to kill him in a head-on fight. However, he was sure that the opponent was a master who had opened Four Apertures and was good at hiding and assassinating. In this kind of environment, the danger would increase exponentially. Once he exposed his flaws, he would attract a fatal attack. He had to be fully alert and highly concentrated. He could not slack off.
Zhang Yuanshan understood very well that this state of high concentration and alertness consumed a lot of his energy, especially the Eye Aperture between his eyebrows. It was difficult to maintain this state for long. At present, the swelling pain was becoming more and more obvious. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him, unless the sandstorm outside began to weaken.
After the missed attack, Shadow Killer immediately hid behind another rock, becoming one with the darkness. His eyes were focused on the two opposite him, patiently waiting for an opportunity.
As an assassin, he had always been very patient. He once hid in the swamp for a whole seven days, just to wait for a good opportunity to strike. But in the end, the Seven Apertures master who had a deep grudge against him had died with his eyes wide open, looking at the short sword in his throat.
Without patience, one could not become a good assassin!
"Yuanshan, the darkness is not good for us. I'll light the fire first." Fu Zhenzhen's sweet voice came into Shadow Killer's ears.
Shadow Killer did not move, not caring at all. If he could be found by the light of the fire, then he was underestimating his ability to hide. Hiding in the shadow, that was the Shadow Killer!
He had once met a terrifying master who could borrow the power of all living things. After receiving a few pointers from him, he finally managed to cultivate this Hidden Shadow supreme art that he had exchanged for.
"Okay." Zhang Yuanshan's voice was very low, as if there was something in his mouth, but also as if he was too vigilant to speak.
The fire was lit, and the light in Fu Zhenzhen's hand scattered around. Dusk replaced darkness, but shadows were everywhere, as if enemies were lying in ambush everywhere. There was no obvious difference from before.
…
Qi Zhengyan hid in a place relatively far behind. He could still see some of the sun not covered by the sandstorm, and his heart was full of vigilance.
Cultivating the "Book of the Chaos" required the help of the strange energy between heaven and earth, so he had a sharper sense of the changes in the sky than ordinary Enlightened Apertures masters. He vaguely felt something was wrong, but the sandstorm blocked the way, and he did not know what to do at the moment.
Suddenly, Qi Zhengyan felt the sunlight in front of him become fierce and unusually dazzling. He could not help but squint his eyes.
At this moment, in the golden light, a figure jumped out, holding a dagger and pointing it at Qi Zhengyan's throat, as if he had been hiding in the sunlight!
Behind Qi Zhengyan, the gravel on the ground suddenly swelled like a grave, and a figure also jumped out, ten hooked fingers glowing.
The arrival of the two Secrecy-reaching Messengers of the Devil Cult was so mysterious and unexpected!
The two had no doubt that the Dead Face opposite them would die in their hands, because whether it was the Sun Escaping Technique or the Earth Escaping Technique, they were beyond the understanding of ordinary people, and it was impossible to guard against.
Suddenly, the two were dazzled, and a burst of white smoke rose in their place, like clouds falling to the ground, but also like a white fog, making them unable to see anything, and could no longer see the scene around them.
And where their daggers and fingers fell, there was Chixia flowing, like a lotus flower dancing, and they were directly taken to the empty place!
The Dead Face was actually a Venerable who had mastered two Secrecy-reaching supernatural abilities?
…
Xia Dandan held a pair of mandarin duck knives, one long and one short, and leaned against a poplar tree to temporarily avoid the wind and sand.
The fire of revenge in her heart was burning, but under the power of heaven and earth, she could only restrain her emotions and wait for the wind to weaken. In this situation, they could not besiege and kill, and the enemy could not move an inch.
Giggles suddenly sounded in her ears. She turned her head in astonishment and saw a beautiful girl in a fluttering white dress leisurely walking out of the sandstorm. Although the wind was strong and the sand was dense, when it came to her side, it became tame and dissipated on its own. As a result, she was not stained by the slightest bit of dust along the way.
This girl looked like a fairy, but her temperament was ethereal, elusive, and somewhat charming.
Xia Dandan found it difficult to speak, and said hoarsely, "Gu Xiaosang?"
Little Zi, who was Gu Xiaosang, smiled leisurely and said,
"The world of mortals is bitter, and there are many worries. Why not return to the void hometown and share the bliss?"
The wind and sand around them slowed down, and it seemed to be a lot brighter, and there was a faint ethereal voice coming.
…
In the ruined temple of the Devil Lord, Mengqi, Chen Xiao, and Luo You also noticed the sudden fierceness of the sandstorm.
"Fortunately, we hid here in advance," Chen Xiao said happily.
Luo You naturally praised his beautiful junior sister, "Thanks to your wisdom, junior sister. Otherwise, in such a big sandstorm, we could not move an inch, and maybe we would be lost in the desert."
The desert climate was changeable, and sandstorms were common. There had been sudden and violent situations in the middle, so even if this was a semi-desert area, the two felt that it was natural.
But Mengqi frowned, carrying the Red Sun Evil Blade, and walked to the dead disciple of the Devil Cult. This sudden "natural disaster", this kind of abnormal sandstorm, always reminded him of the "Crying Elder". Could it be that the Cult Master of the Devil Cult came in person, like the Heightslord of Windcloud Heights, Gu Kongshan, who triggered the weather change?
Of course, this kind of weather change certainly did not have the power of heaven and earth contained in the Violent Sand Super Force of the Crying Elder, and also could not cover a radius of a hundred miles, like the arrival of doomsday, with the horror of destroying the earth.
He secretly raised his guard, slightly opened the Primal Aperture at Mid-brows, and released his Will-projecting, while at the same time checking the dead disciple of the Devil Cult on the ground.
The dead's skin was pale, and his meridians were dark, with faint black steam rising. But as soon as it came close to Mengqi, it melted under the dark red and shiny "Red Sun Evil Blade".
"Just now, his ability to hide in the shadow was almost magical, but his strength was far from that of the Exterior, and his body was full of Evil Qi … How did he get the Secrety-reaching Power?" From the amazement of Luo You and Chen Xiao, Mengqi roughly knew that this was the so-called Secrety-reaching Power, and became more interested in the power system of this world. If there were no hidden dangers and he could learn it, it would be a trump card in combination with his own Kung Fu and bladesmanship.
Just now, Mengqi's blade derived from the "Peace Quietude Split" made Luo You and Chen Xiao gasp in amazement, and they put away their contempt for him. In their hearts, they admired their master's foresight in asking them to pay attention to these members of the Power Gang.
"Master Zhen Ding, what are you looking at?" Chen Xiao plucked up the courage to ask. She felt that her "Wind Escape" superpower and accompanying sword art was no match for this little monk, so she unconsciously changed the way she addressed him.
Mengqi didn't want to expose his ignorance of Secrety-reaching, so he raised one palm and said, "Amitabha. Although killing is to protect, and cutting karma is not to cut the person, it is still a human life. It is a sin, a sin."
"Master's benevolent heart makes us admire you very much. However, the people of the Evil Cult use the Devil Qi to practice martial arts. Their humanity has dissipated and they are cruel and vicious. There are many wronged souls under their hands. Killing one person is saving many people. It is better than building a seven-storied pagoda."
And Mengqi's answer made Chen Xiao nod slightly. Although she had also killed people, she was still a kind person, and it would not feel good to lose a life in her hands.
"Master Zhen Ding, you are so compassionate. You will become an eminent monk in the future." Chen Xiao smiled. "The bladesmanship you used just now …"
Just as she was about to ask, Mengqi's wonderful premonition from the Transformation Strategy appeared again, and he suddenly turned to look at the broken window.
He saw a thin tube sticking out of the hole, blowing out a faint mist.
"Be careful," Mengqi shouted in a low voice, holding his breath, and the Golden Bell Shield was running, and the dark gold flowed around his body.
Chen Xi and Luo You followed Mengqi's gaze and were shocked again. It was the poison master who made everyone panic that night!
Mengqi also knew that it was the poison master of the enemy's camp. He understood that he had to finish the battle quickly, so he waved the Red Sun Evil Blade and performed the Wind-god's Legs, rushing to the window. Together with his dark gold flowing skin, he was like an unstoppable chariot.
He rushed into the mist, using the Golden Bell Shield to block the penetration. He slammed sideways, and with the strength of his shoulders and back, he smashed the window and jumped out.
Outside the temple, the wind and sand were strong, but the ground was full of slippery poisonous snakes, fluffy spiders, and colorful insects. And in the middle of them stood a girl in bright clothes.
Mengqi did not stop, nor did he use the Lightning Changes. He directly strode into the poisonous insects and ran to the girl.
The poisonous snakes tilted their heads, the spiders jumped, and the insects flew into the air, all falling on Mengqi's body. But when they bit, it was like biting a gold stone, and they were all bounced back.
Mengqi's "chariot" broke through all obstacles and rushed forward fiercely. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the girl's side.
Hong Xiu did not expect the little bald ass's fighting method to be so simple, violent, and brave. She was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to herself. She clenched her palm and hit the hidden Tang Hua!
