In the Great Buddha's Hall of Shaolin Temple.
"Abbot, how are your injuries?" The white-browed monk asked with concern after Mengqi and the others left.
Xin Ji's yellow face suddenly flushed. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his cassock.
"Abbot!"
"Master!"
All the monks exclaimed. They immediately realized that His Abbot had suppressed his injuries and didn't show his weakness in front of those unknown people.
Xin Ji waved his hand and took a breath. "It's okay. I'm fine for now, but I can't use 50% of my power."
All the monks were silent. His Abbot was old and weak, so he was probably no match for General Duo Ercha. Now that he only had 50% of his power, the chances were even slimmer. As for the other Innate Masters, there were only two in the temple, and both of them had just entered the Innate Realm. Not to mention General Duo Ercha, even his "White-browed Wolf" and "Cosmos Juggler" might not be a match for him.
The white-browed monk heaved a long sigh. "Abbot, now that things have come to this, we should focus on preserving the incense in our temple."
"Junior Brother Xin Chan, I understand what you mean." Xin Ji nodded slightly and looked back at the golden Buddha statue with a weathered face. "The Barbarian Tribe has the right time. It's the day when flowers bloom like brocade. Not to mention the so-called Nation Master and Wolf Master, General Duo Ercha is one of the best masters in the world. He has been unstoppable all his life and rarely fails. He even has three hundred Wolf Soldiers under his command.
"If we Shaolin Temple perish together, we still have a chance to stop Duo Ercha, but only for a while. And now it seems that we can't even stop him for a while."
"What I said before is not that I don't want to preserve the incense, but that I want to stall Duo Ercha with my old and weak body, creating a chance for all the monks to escape. After all, if I don't die, Duo Ercha will hunt me down and never give up. I don't want to drag you down and delay the transfer of scriptures and relics."
Duo Ercha had 300 Iron Wolf Soldiers under his command. It was said that they were trained with secret methods, and all of them were extremely strong, painless, and fearless of death.
The white-browed monk and the others fell silent again. They all knew that Duo Er regarded Her Abbotship as a thorn in her side. This encirclement was most likely aimed at eliminating the top masters. If the goal was not achieved, the sect would not stop the cruel pursuit even if they had to abandon their ancestral property. But if the Abbot passed away, then the pressure on them would lessen significantly. At least, General Duo Ercha, a top master, would not have to come personally. When the time came, they could split up and hide, and the incense would continue.
"Master, I will stay with you to guard the Shaolin Temple." A middle-aged monk with a sad face knelt down in front of Xin Ji.
Xin Ji sighed, "Why are you so persistent?"
He did not agree to his disciple's request. Instead, he looked around and said, "There is a secret passage in our temple. Only the abbot knows about it. Everyone, please arrange for your disciples to pack up and wait for the night. As for the other ordinary disciples, when you leave, leave a note and let them go down the mountain on their own. "
"What about the benefactor at the foot of the mountain? Should we inform them? "Another monk who looked like Maitreya Buddha asked with a smile.
The white-browed old monk, Xin Chan, said with a sullen face, "Inform them? I don't know how many barbarian spies are hiding among them, like Hundred Face Bookster just now. If Duo Ercha hears the news in advance, our Shaolin Temple will be in danger! "
"When the ordinary disciples go down the mountain, they will know and leave." Xin Ji did not want to risk the news being leaked.
"Master, since Duo Ercha has arranged for Hundred Face Bookster to sneak attack, I think he should be nearby. This matter should not be delayed until late at night." The kneeling middle-aged monk stood up. "If the benefactor at the foot of the mountain sees Duo Ercha's Wolf Soldiers attacking and the gate is not open, he will not risk his life and will leave."
Xin Ji nodded solemnly. "That makes sense."
…
At the inn at the foot of the mountain.
"Xiaosang, Xiaosang is here …" Little Zi's nightmare talk made Wei Wuji and the other swordsmen feel goosebumps and their hair stand on end.
Who was Xiaosang? She sounded so scary!
Jiang Zhiwei and Zhang Yuanshan looked up in surprise at Little Zi and said in unison, "Xiaosang? Gu Xiaosang? "
"Who is she …" Mengqi had heard Little Zi mention Gu Xiaosang before, but he did not expect the name to be so famous. Even Jiang Zhiwei and Zhang Yuanshan looked like they had heard of her for a long time.
"Yes, Gu Xiaosang, she is here. She wants to kill me, boohoo …" Little Zi cried, feeling like she was about to collapse.
Mengqi saw Jiang Zhiwei and Zhang Yuanshan become cautious and guessed, "Is Gu Xiaosang a famous figure in the main world? Otherwise, how could they have heard of her?
But aren't we the only Samsara travelers this time?
Is she a Samsara traveler from the enemy camp?
But it doesn't seem like it. The Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms did not give any hint! "
They looked at each other. Just as Jiang Zhiwei was about to tell Mengqi who Gu Xiaosang was through Secret Voice-sending, a horn suddenly sounded outside, shocking everyone.
Boohoo!
The long horn sounded desolate and deep, but also fierce. Then came the sound of horse hooves, like stormy waves beating on the shore, quickly approaching.
"The Wolf Soldiers! The Wolf Soldiers! " Wei Wuji's expression changed dramatically, and his hands could not help trembling slightly. The arrival of the Wolf Soldiers meant that General Duo Ercha was nearby!
He shouted loudly, "Heroes, the Wolf Soldiers are attacking. Let's retreat to the Shaolin Temple and guard the mountain pass."
The terrain at the foot of the mountain was open, and he knew he could not stop so many Wolf Soldiers.
"Master Wei is right!"
"Let's go to the gate!"
The chivalrous people saw the smoke and dust in the distance, and remembered the fierce reputation of the Wolf Soldiers. They felt a little scared for no reason and rushed to the gate.
Meng Qi, Jiang Zhiwei, and the others also looked out of the window of the inn. They saw the Iron Horsemen approaching in a mighty manner, dragging a cloud of dust behind them. The horsemen were all clad in black full-body armor, with only their eyes exposed.
"Kneel and you'll be spared!" Among the cavalry, a dignified and deep voice that was as cold as iron suddenly sounded. Even though it was far away, everyone at the foot of the mountain could hear it clearly.
"Duo Ercha, General Duo Ercha!" Wei Wuji's face turned pale and he cried out. He hurriedly said to De Guang, who was guarding the gate, "Open the gate, General Duo Ercha is here!"
De Guang was also pale. "Donor Wei, without His Abbotship's order, I can't open the gate."
"Ungrateful! Ungrateful! We risked our lives to help, and you ignore our lives! "Wei Wuji was so angry that his face turned red.
The surrounding chivalrous people suddenly clamored, and the scene was chaotic.
"Humph, you are brave in internal strife, but afraid of external battles. The people of the Central Plains are born lowly." Duo Ercha's voice sounded like thunder.
His figure appeared in front of the Wolf Soldiers. He was tall and strong, holding a one-legged bronze man. Although he was not riding a horse, he was taller than the other Wolf Soldiers.
He strode forward, using [Ground Shrink] to cover a huge distance in just a few breaths.
As he approached, the sky suddenly darkened. A gust of wind blew, dark clouds gathered, and muffled sounds of thunder could be heard.
Mengqi smelled the smell of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, as if a boundless fear was pressing down on his heart.
"Half-step Exterior Scenery, Half-step Exterior Scenery." Zhang Yuanshan pulled out his Long Sword and flicked his fingers. The sound was like a dragon's roar, awakening Mengqi and Qi Zhengyan whose minds had been affected. The mountain of corpses and sea of blood in front of them immediately disappeared.
Jiang Zhiwei said with some eagerness, "It seems that Duo Ercha is indeed stronger than Master Xin Ji. Not only has he opened all Nine Apertures, but he has also begun to touch the Outer World. He's only one step away from the Inner and Outer World. Even if I use 'Anatta Sword', I'm afraid I can't do anything to him."
"Half-step Exterior Scenery?" Mengqi, the ignorant guy, asked subconsciously.
Jiang Zhiwei raised her head slightly. "The Outer World is the intersection of the Inner and Outer Worlds. Every move can cause changes in heaven and earth. This is the Exterior. In the realm of the Exterior, every move is infinitely powerful and contains mysteries. It's easy to destroy mountains and cities. Duo Ercha can change the sky, which means he's only half a step away. "
"The enemy this time is so strong …" Just listening to Jiang Zhiwei's description, Mengqi knew that Duo Ercha was many times stronger than the Castle Lord of Yin Huang Castle. Not to mention the strange phenomenon of raging wind and clouds, thunder and rain. "He's completely beyond our ability to deal with!"
Mengqi guessed that if Jiang Zhiwei, who had opened Four Apertures (two for her eyes and two for her ears), used the "Anatta Sword" to fight desperately, she could even kill a master with seven or eight Apertures and injure a master with nine Apertures. But this kind of master, who had already touched the mysteries of heaven and earth, could not be defeated with only unique moves. Obviously, the difficulty of this task was beyond imagination!
"Not necessarily. If Master Xin Ji is safe and sound, Junior Sister Jiang can cooperate with him, and we'll have a chance to kill Duo Ercha," Zhang Yuanshan said helplessly.
He had only opened his Eye Apertures. Facing Duo Ercha, he was afraid that he could only block a few moves. It was almost impossible for him to fight shoulder to shoulder. Although he also had unique moves, the realm gap was too big.
Mengqi thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, our task this time is to defend Shaolin Temple until the last moment. We don't have to fight Duo Ercha head-on."
"Boom!"
Thunder exploded in everyone's ears. Mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and endless evil ghosts seemed to become clearer.
These Jianghu people were affected by the changes in heaven and earth and the spiritual pressure caused by Duo Ercha. They collapsed at once. Some fled to the sides, while others shouted, "These bald donkeys are vicious. Let's kill them!"
Boom!
De Guang and the others guarding the mountain gate were shocked by the thunder and seemed to be paralyzed. They wanted to use the advantage of the terrain to resist the crazy guys, but they were powerless to do anything. They could only watch as they broke through the mountain gate and rushed in, driving the demons forward.
"Wei Shi …" De Guang saw Wei Wuji's ferocious face and his palm hit his head.
The heavy rain finally fell, and the ground was covered with blood.
Duo Ercha stopped in front of the mountain gate. He turned his head and looked coldly at the nearby inns. In a flat tone, he ordered the Wolf Soldiers who were coming from behind, "Fifty of you stay here. Leave no one alive. The rest of you, follow me up the mountain."
His face was crisscrossed with wounds. It was impossible to see his original appearance.
The Wolf Soldiers divided into fifty people and ran to the two sides. Their entire bodies were covered in iron armor, and only a pair of blood-red eyes were exposed.
"Enter the mountain gate in ten minutes, or you will fail the second main task." These words appeared on the muddy ground.
"Follow them into the temple, or you will fail the main task," Mengqi said through gritted teeth when he saw the hint from the "Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms".
At a time like this, he and the others still had to follow them into the temple. It was a perfect example of "being righteous and chivalrous".
