The shredded chicken had been extracted enough. Gu Zheng once again kneaded the noodles with his hands. Then, he dragged the dough with his left hand and grabbed a piece with his right hand. He suddenly tossed it up.
Wu Eryong frowned. He did not understand why Gu Zheng was tossing the noodles. However, in the next moment, his eyes instantly widened to the maximum. The flying dough suddenly elongated in the air and finally turned into noodles before falling into the pot.
"This? Is this a culinary skill that incorporates cultivation techniques or magic? "
Wu Eryong rubbed his eyes hard and muttered to himself in disbelief. The noodles that fell into the pot actually inconceivably circled around in the pot as if they were alive.
Gu Zheng's hands were like the wind. In a short while, a large mass of noodles on the chopping board was thrown out by him and turned into noodles that fell into the pot. During this process, Wu Eryong's eyes were wide open, and he didn't close them at all.
The fire and water control arts were used at the same time. The noodles were cooked like fish and did not let Wu Eryong wait for too long.
Gu Zheng's movements were still as smooth as flowing water when he poured the soup and scooped the noodles.
In the previous Gourmet Competition, Gu Zheng made many servings of shredded chicken noodle soup with a single immortal chicken. This time, Gu Zheng only made five servings of one immortal chicken.
In the previous Gourmet Competition, each of the 30 judges only ate two sticks and two strips. This time, Gu Zheng's shredded chicken noodle soup had a 50: 50 ratio between the noodles and the soup. This was no longer tasting a delicacy, but actually eating a bowl of delicious food.
He signaled Gu An, who had been assisting him, with his eyes. Gu An immediately carried two bowls of shredded chicken noodle soup out of the tent.
Tonight, when Gu Zheng was cooking porridge, some people were indeed attracted by the fragrance, but they were all sent away by Wuyou and Wuchou. However, before Gu Zheng began to make the noodles, the wind was already blowing outside, so it did not attract any more people. This saved the two elders a lot of trouble.
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
The voices of the two elders sounded, followed by the sound of eating and drinking.
Gu Zheng did not say anything. He just drank a mouthful of soup, picked up a shredded chicken to taste, then picked up a noodle, blew on it and put it into his mouth.
Wu Eryong's Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes were filled with struggle.
Gu An also came back. He was also holding a bowl of chicken noodle soup and enjoying the noodles and soup.
"I beg you, Sect Master, please reward this disciple with half of the chicken in the pot!"
Gu An's words were like a clap of thunder that instantly destroyed Wu Eryong's shaky defense.
"How despicable! You're eating from the bowl, yet you're still looking at the pot!"
Wu Eryong breathed heavily, his eyes red. He reached out and held the last bowl of chicken noodle soup on the chopping board.
"Senior, there are some things that the elders have told me not to say. If I say it, I will be violating the sect's rules. I hope that senior won't tell anyone what I said."
As if holding a bowl of poisonous wine, Wu Eryong looked at the chicken noodle soup with hatred in his eyes.
"Don't worry, I won't tell the other sects what you said. Just tell them everything you need to tell them. Other than this bowl of chicken noodle soup, even the chicken that Gu An wants is yours!"
Gu Zheng was smiling, his eyes squinting like a fox that had stolen a chicken.
"I'll confess!"
The final struggle in Wu Eryong's eyes disappeared. He let out a strange cry and lowered his head to drink a big mouthful of chicken noodle soup.
"Fresh!"
Wu Eryong shouted after drinking a mouthful of chicken noodle soup. He hurriedly picked up another strand of chicken noodle soup and put it in his mouth.
"Delicious!"
Wu Eryong didn't say anything else. He was still as impatient as ever. He immediately picked up another strand of noodles.
"Slurp …"
Wu Eryong sucked the noodles into his mouth with all his might and chewed them hard, as if they were filled with hatred.
"Chewy!"
After finishing a noodle, Wu Eryong said two words. Surprisingly, he wasn't as flustered as before. Instead, he held the bowl of noodles and looked at it seriously.
"You should be an actor."
Gu Zheng sighed. Wu Eryong's eyes were red. He knew what was coming.
Sure enough, it took less than three seconds for Wu Eryong's eyes to turn red and tear up.
"White soup, white noodles, and white chicken noodle soup. Simple, clean, elegant, and noble. But why did such a simple, elegant, and noble delicacy come from the hands of a demon like you? "
Wu Eryong choked with sobs. He lowered his head and ate the noodles very slowly, as if he was eating a lover.
However, after finishing the bowl of chicken noodle soup, Wu Eryong's affectionate style changed instantly. He grabbed the dehydrated immortal chicken and started to chew on it without caring about his image.
"Delicious!"
"It's so delicious!"
Wu Eryong snorted as he ate. His mouth was filled with oil.
"Are you done eating? Aren't you in a hurry to go back? "
Looking at Wu Eryong, who squinted his eyes and stroked his belly, Gu Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
After being reminded by Gu Zheng, Wu Eryong quickly broke away from enjoying the aftertaste of the delicious food. He had indeed been out for a long time.
"Senior, I'm a little regretful. I should have learned cooking from you!"
Wu Eryong sighed and immediately told Gu Zheng everything he knew about the Tianshan Snow Lotus.
Previously, the Mount Tai tablet had indeed deceived them, but what the old man said was not true. The Tianshan Snow Lotus had not matured yet, and it was not the day they said it would mature. It had to be delayed by a few days. In addition, the location was wrong. This time, when they left early at dawn, they went to the place where the Snow Lotus matured first.
As for why the other disciples did not leave, it was because if they left, the other sects would not let them go. In fact, even Wu Eryong himself had doubts. What he knew was not all true, but that was all he knew.
After Wu Eryong left, Gu Zheng decided to leave immediately.
Taking advantage of the late night, Gu Zheng and the others simply packed up and left the camp. There was still some distance to the location of the thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus. In terms of time, it was already quite tight. Gu Zheng chose to believe Wu Eryong's words. Everyone was determined to get a treasure like the Snow Lotus Seed, so it was normal for them to play tricks.
There was no other way. It was better to believe in him first. At least what he said was true. The weapon spirit said that Wu Eryong did not lie.
"What should we do now?"
In the darkness, another elder of the Qingcheng Sect, Qiao Xishan, asked Liu Qingyun, who was beside him.
"It seems that the people of the Taishan Sect should have told the Emei Sect the location of the thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus. Otherwise, there are still potential enemies. The Emei Sect has no reason to leave secretly."
Repeatedly frustrated by Gu Zheng, Liu Qingyun also paid special attention to the matters of the Emei Sect. In his heart, Gu Zheng, the new sect leader, seemed to have a lot of secrets.
Liu Qingyun noticed that Wu Eryong had entered the Emei Sect's tent and that the people of the Emei Sect had secretly left.
"It must be like this. Why don't I go and inform the disciples now? We also quickly pack up and then follow the Emei Sect?" Qiao Xishan said again.
"Don't tell the disciples. It's inconvenient to have too many people. If other sects are alarmed, there will be more people who want a share of the pie. Let's just leave a note for the inner disciples and ask them to follow the people of the Taishan Sect! "
Qiao Xishan had no objection to Liu Qingyun's words. The two then followed the Emei Sect.
It didn't take too much time to catch up with the Emei Sect. However, Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan didn't plan to meet up with the Emei Sect. They just wanted to follow from a distance.
For two days, the people of the Emei Sect didn't find Liu Qingyun and the others following them. The device spirit did find them, but it didn't tell Gu Zheng. Liu Qingyun and the others followed very far away. As long as they didn't disturb Gu Zheng, the device spirit wouldn't pay attention to them at all. However, if Liu Qingyun and the others had any evil intentions, the device spirit would immediately inform Gu Zheng.
However, Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan also didn't find that there was someone following them. It was the old man in white who was far behind them.
"Don't you mainlanders like to say that the mantis catches the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? Today, I'll let you see what it means to be the oriole behind. "
Looking at Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan in front of him, the old man in white laughed strangely.
Whether it was the people of the Emei Sect leaving the camp or the people of the Qingcheng Sect leaving the camp, it couldn't escape the eyes of the old man in white. The old man in white wanted to get rid of these people who were plotting to steal the millennium Tianshan Snow Lotus!
Deng Tianyang of the Taishan Sect left first. The remaining people of the Taishan Sect obviously intended to stall for time. They were no longer a threat to the millennium Snow Lotus. Since this was the case, the old man in white could also free up his hands to deal with the people who had left the main group.
It was snowing. The cold wind mixed with the snowflakes made people unable to open their eyes.
Walking in the snow, Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan didn't know that the enemy was nearby.
"Bang …"
With a soft sound, the old man in white rushed out of the snow beside Qiao Xishan. The ruler in his hand carried a strong wind and smashed towards Qiao Xishan's head.
"Ha!"
As a master in the middle of the fifth level, Qiao Xishan's reaction was also very fast. He raised his palm to hit the ruler.
However, before Qiao Xishan's internal energy could be released, the ruler suddenly issued a sharp whistling sound.
Qiao Xishan only felt a buzzing in his head. The internal energy that he had just raised turned into nothingness. He was shocked and hurriedly moved to the side. The metal ruler hit him heavily on the shoulder, causing the sound of bones breaking.
"Stone Shattering Fist!"
Liu Qingyun roared. He was walking side by side with Qiao Xishan, so his speed was not slow. The moment the ruler hit Qiao Xishan's shoulder, the internal energy on his fist had also flown to the old man in white.
"Bang …"
The old man in white raised his palm and his internal energy offset the power of Liu Qingyun's fist.
"Phantom Kick!"
Qiao Xishan endured the pain. The anger of being sneak attacked made him use all his strength. He stood on one leg and swiftly launched eight kicks with his other leg.
The old man in white let out a strange cry. His hands quickly drew a circle in front of him. The internal energy released was like a shield, blocking all of Qiao Xishan's kicks.
"Stone Shattering Fist, second style!"
Liu Qingyun was not idle either. His left foot suddenly stomped on the ground and his shimmering fist heavily blasted the old man's internal energy shield.
"Bang …"
A loud noise was heard as the old man's internal energy shield was smashed. His whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
"GO TO HELL!"
Qiao Xishan's movement was strange. He stomped on the ground with one leg and jumped, appearing beside the old man in white. His right leg, which had never touched the ground, once again kicked towards the white-clothed old man.
"Roar …"
A deep roar was heard as a huge monster suddenly jumped up from the seemingly empty snowy ground. Not only did it use its head to knock Qiao Xishan away, but its front claws were also aimed at Liu Qingyun who was chasing after it.
"Inch Punch!"
Liu Qingyun hurriedly made a move and struck the huge claw with a strange internal energy.
Like skiing, Liu Qingyun's fist collided with the huge claw and his whole body slid backward, causing the blood in his chest to surge. The ferocious beast that suddenly appeared was also not in a good condition as it let out a deep groan.
The old man in white did not pursue it and Liu Qingyun also joined up with the injured Qiao Xishan. Both parties were watching from a distance.
The ferocious beast that suddenly appeared was actually Niu Da's Snow Leopard. It was no wonder that Qiao Xishan did not notice it when it was hiding in the snow.
"So your strength isn't that great."
Liu Qingyun spoke. After the short confrontation just now, he already had a preliminary understanding of the strength of the old man in white and the Snow Leopard.
"Why do you think so?" The old man in white spoke in a stiff tone.
"In terms of internal energy, your realm is only at the early stage of the fifth level. As for that huge Snow Leopard, although its brute force is huge, it is not as strong as the wolf demon outside the Black Dragon's mouth. It is precisely because its strength is not that great that you dare not attack again! "Liu Qingyun sneered.
"The Snow Leopard is only a mount, so its strength is naturally inferior to the Silver Wolf. But what does this mean? You will still die and pay for my Silver Wolf's life! Just you wait, you are not far from death! "
The old man in white did not stay for too long. He turned around and rode on the Snow Leopard, quickly disappearing from Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan's sight. Only the strange laughter before he left still echoed in their ears.
Qiao Xishan's shoulder blade was smashed. He had already taken a healing pill, so his strength was not as good as before. He was rubbing his injured shoulder with his hand.
"Who is this damned old man?" Qiao Xishan frowned.
"Who knows who he is? Anyway, this is his home ground. His strength is not bad, and he has a huge Snow Leopard as a mount. This guy is not easy to deal with! "Liu Qingyun narrowed his eyes.
"Why don't we go and meet up with the people from Emei Sect? There is strength in numbers!"
Qiao Xishan's suggestion immediately caused Liu Qingyun to shake his head.
"It is impossible to meet up with Emei. If it was the Emei of the past, even if there was a grudge from the trip to Tianshan, as long as we did not care about our reputation, we could still join forces under such circumstances. But now, Emei has a new leader. Gu Zheng is not Wuyou or Wuchou. He is not so easy to talk to! "
"Then what do you think we should do now?" Qiao Xishan asked again.
"Continue on the road. Be careful. I don't believe that sneak attacks can be effective often!"
Although Liu Qingyun's face was full of dissatisfaction, his heart was not relaxed at all. After all, they were following Emei Sect. This also caused their route to be fixed. Once they changed their route, they had to take a long detour and there was a possibility that they would lose track of Emei Sect. This was a drawback, a drawback that could make sneak attacks happen frequently.
The third day of following Emei Sect was a sunny day. The sun shone on the snow, so bright that people could not open their eyes.
Near noon, Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan were once again attacked by the old man in white. However, this time, it was not Liu Qingyun's side who was injured. They were careful and had injured the old man in white who had failed in his sneak attack! If the old man in white didn't have a snow leopard as his mount, he might have lost his life there.
The small victory made Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan excited. As for the old man in white who had suffered a loss, he rode his snow leopard and rushed to the place where Emei Sect had passed by.
"Damn it, damn it!"
In the midst of cursing, the old man in white with blood on the corner of his mouth turned over and got off his snow leopard. He picked up the shaba and blew.
The soft sound of the shaba drifted slowly. The snow made a cracking sound and more than a dozen black things slowly crawled out from the frozen ground.
There was no wind and snow. Although the sound of the shaba was soft, it still reached the ears of Gu Zheng and the others.
"Judging from the sound, the old man in white is at the place we passed by not long ago." Elder Wuyou looked back, but he could not see the place where the sound of the shaba came from.
"Could it be that he's up to something?"
Elder Wuchou scratched his head. This kind of enemy hiding in the dark was really a headache.
"Don't worry about him. Let's continue our journey. We can't avoid what will come," Gu Zheng said. Gu Zheng and the others heard the sound of the shaba. Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan also heard it.
"Damn it, that guy is between the two mountains in front. He wouldn't blow the shaba for no reason!" Qiao Xishan stopped and looked hesitant.
"Let's go and take a look first. We don't have much choice."
Liu Qingyun frowned. The sound of the shaba came from the direction they had to pass. They couldn't avoid it even if they wanted to.
A moment later.
Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan came to the direction of the sound of the shaba and saw the old man in white riding his snow leopard.
The old man in white was not alone. Beside him stood twenty-seven "things" in ancient armor.
The reason why they were called things and not people was because they didn't have the breath of a living person. Their faces were green and they were motionless, like frozen corpses that had just been dug out from the ice.
"How about it? Do you want to try?"
The old man in white shouted at Liu Qingyun and the others who were not far away.
The passage between the two mountains wasn't very spacious. The old man in white and the frozen corpse stood in a row, almost blocking the passage. It was impossible to pass through safely.
There was snow on the two mountains, but it wasn't thick. It was unlikely for an avalanche to happen. Even if an avalanche happened, all existences would be unlucky. This was something no one could avoid.
When the white-robed old man first appeared, he had disappeared into the snow. However, later on, everyone discovered that he didn't know any immortal arts like "Snow Escape". Instead, there was an ice cave under the snow, and he had escaped after entering the ice cave. Therefore, even if he had a giant snow leopard, once an avalanche happened, the speed of the snow's impact wasn't something his snow leopard could escape.
The old man in white was like a thorn in the flesh. It was impossible to avoid him. Avoiding him would only bring endless trouble.
Although the strength of the frozen corpses couldn't be seen, judging from the ice on their bodies, their speed was bound to be slow.
This might be an empty fort strategy. The old man in white wanted to put enough distance between them and the Emei Sect. When they lost track of the Emei Sect and were really alone, he would slowly take care of them.
But no matter what the reason was, the old man in white found them first, as if they were easier to bully. This made Liu Qingyun very angry and depressed. If the damn old man didn't find trouble with the Emei Sect, how could the few people from the Emei Sect be stronger than them?
In an instant, Liu Qingyun thought a lot and analyzed a lot. He already had an idea in his heart. He signaled Qiao Xishan with his eyes and the two of them rushed straight to the old man in white.
The crisp sound of the ruler eight sounded. The old man in white didn't face the enemy head-on. Instead, he blew his ruler eight.
"Kacha …"
The twenty-seven frozen corpses moved with the sound of the ruler eight.
The ice in the armor shattered. The eyes of the frozen corpses, which were originally closed, opened. They were as round as a living person. If one only looked at their eyes, other than the lack of expression, they were exactly the same as a real person's.
The frozen corpses' movements were slower. They raised the weapons in their hands and faced Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan.
"Strong Wind Fist!"
With a sway of his body, Liu Qingyun easily dodged the frozen corpses' attacks. His fist, which was wrapped in a large ball of inner strength, smashed fiercely on the head of a frozen corpse.
Liu Qingyun's "Strong Wind Fist" was very powerful. If it was a normal person, even if it was a late-stage fourth level cultivator, his head would be blown off by this punch!
However, the sound of metal colliding was heard from the fist. Liu Qingyun's punch only made the frozen corpse stagger. His own fist was also shaken to the point of pain!
The body of the frozen corpse was so hard that even his fist couldn't break it. Was this still an ordinary frozen corpse?
"Strong Wind Cut!"
Ignoring the shock in his heart, Liu Qingyun approached the unstable frozen corpse and chopped at the wrist of the frozen corpse with his hand.
When Liu Qingyun chopped with his hand, the first thing to hit the target was the scimitar-shaped force. For an ancient martial art like the "Strong Wind Cut", the destructive force of the force was definitely higher than the "Strong Wind Fist" he used previously!
The force arrived first and the hand chop landed on the joints of the frozen corpse. The expected "Kacha" sound of bones breaking finally came.
"What the hell is this thing?"
Liu Qingyun cried out in alarm. This "Gale Slash" was actually a double attack of strength and strength, and it was an all-out attack. This kind of attack was able to shatter the wrist bones of the frozen corpse. Then, the strength of the frozen corpse's body was definitely higher than that of a late-stage Fifth Stage cultivator!
"Ah …"
Along with Liu Qingyun's exclamation, Qiao Xishan let out a cry of pain.
Under the siege of several frozen corpses, Qiao Xishan, who was already injured, was careless and was swept by a heavy mace in the hands of a frozen corpse. Thankfully, Qiao Xishan dodged in time and the heavy mace did not hit him. It only touched his skin, but even so, Qiao Xishan still felt like he had been swept by the inner force of an opponent of similar strength!
"The strength of these fellows is comparable to a early-stage fifth level cultivator!"
Qiao Xishan dodged left and right as he shouted at Liu Qingyun, who was surrounded by a group of frozen corpses. With the defense of a late-stage fifth level cultivator and the strength of an early-stage fifth level cultivator, these frozen corpses gave the two a headache. One or two was fine, but there were more than twenty of them.
If there were more than twenty early-stage fifth level experts, even the two of them would have to avoid them. Thankfully, these frozen corpses did not have any intelligence and only knew how to act on instinct. Even so, the two of them were still in danger.
"Kill this old bastard!"
Originally, they only fought with the frozen corpses to test their strength. Now that they had tested their strength, Liu Qingyun dodged the attacks of the frozen corpses and quickly approached the white-robed old man.
To Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan, this was a chance to kill the white-robed old man. They could already tell that the white-robed old man was controlling the frozen corpses through the continuous sound of the chi eight. As long as they killed him, the frozen corpses would lose control and would not continue attacking them.
It was difficult to deal with frozen corpses, but the two of them were still very confident in dealing with an early-stage fifth level old man.
With both hands occupied by the chi eight, if the white-robed old man did not have a gigantic snow leopard as a means of transportation, Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan could have taken him down in minutes. Unfortunately, the snow leopard was very fast and very agile. The white-robed old man was like a kite as he weaved through the frozen corpses with Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan.
As time passed, Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan's hearts turned colder. Twenty-seven frozen corpses were not as simple as they imagined.
This period of pursuit was like a warm-up for the frozen corpses. White mist began to emit from their bodies as their bodies became more agile! Furthermore, they were no longer as chaotic as before. Instead, they began to move and attack in a regular pattern. It was clearly an array formation used on the battlefield against enemies!
Thankfully, the array formation set up by the frozen corpses was not brilliant. It was broken by Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan several times, but even so, Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan were injured in many places. After all, they were chasing the white-robed old man under the attacks of the twenty-seven frozen corpses.
Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan did not have it easy. The white-clothed old man's situation was not much better. He had been struck twice by the Qi. One was an internal injury, and the other was on his back, where there was a bloody hole. As for his gigantic snow leopard, it had been attacked four times more than him. Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan understood the principle of shooting the horse before shooting the man.
The snow leopard was seriously injured. This was also the reason why Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan persisted despite the unfavorable situation. Although it was risky, how could they obtain a tiger cub without entering the tiger's den! If they could finish off the darn old man by taking a little risk, then it was worth it for them.
Finally, an opportunity appeared in front of Liu Qingyun again. He used a "Strong Wind Fist" to heavily strike the snow leopard's hind leg.
"Roar …"
The snow leopard howled. It was clear that the fur on its leg was violently twitching from the pain.
However, despite the pain in its leg, the snow leopard did not immediately fall to the ground. Instead, it maintained a very slanted posture and persisted for a long distance.
"Bang …"
The snow leopard fell heavily to the ground. As for the white-robed old man, he leaped up just as the snow leopard was about to overturn. He still did not give up playing his Chi Ba.
Liu Qingyun wanted to take the opportunity to deliver the finishing blow, but he was surrounded by more than a dozen frozen corpses. It was difficult for him to escape.
Under the white-robed old man's control, the frozen corpses focused on attacking Liu Qingyun. This reduced the pressure on Qiao Xishan's side.
"I'll let you continue playing!"
Seizing the opportunity, Qiao Xishan jumped with one leg and appeared near the white-robed old man. He used a leg technique that was like a phantom.
"Ah …"
The white-robed old man screamed. After being kicked away by Qiao Xishan, he spat out a mouthful of blood and the Chi Ba stopped abruptly.
"Ugh …"
Qiao Xishan groaned as a trace of blood seeped out from the corner of his tightly pursed mouth.
Although he kicked the white-robed old man away, it was not easy for him. When he used the phantom leg technique just now, not only did the white-robed old man counterattack, but he also hit his lower abdomen with his inner force.
"Alright!"
After the Chi Ba stopped, the twenty-seven frozen corpses quickly stopped as well. Liu Qingyun, who was covered in blood, took advantage of this rare opportunity to escape from the encirclement of the frozen corpses and rushed towards the white-robed old man at his fastest speed.
Unfortunately, although the white-robed old man was seriously injured and could not even run steadily, the injured snow leopard on the ground got up at this moment. It carried the white-robed old man and started running again.
"Bastard!"
The fact that the snow leopard could still stand up after suffering such serious injuries was beyond Liu Qingyun's expectations. He was so angry that he cursed.
"Damn it!"
Qiao Xishan was also gritting his teeth in anger. He and Liu Qingyun, who were seriously injured, had already lost the opportunity to kill the white-robed old man in a short period of time.
Seeing that Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan did not immediately chase after him and only slowly approached him while using medicine, the white-robed old man also stopped.
"Huff … Huff …"
The white-robed old man and the snow leopard were panting heavily. However, one of them had blood flowing out from the corner of his mouth while the other had blood flowing down his tongue.
"Damn it, you killed my silver wolf and injured my mount. I want you dead!"
The white-robed old man shouted in anger like Qiao Xishan. He used his middle finger that was emitting energy and fiercely poked his glabella.
"Huff …"
As if there was a sudden gust of wind, the white-robed old man's clothes fluttered and his hair danced wildly.
"Ah …"
The white-robed old man howled as the veins on his neck bulged.
"Kill him!"
Liu Qingyun roared. The white-robed old man's current appearance was clearly preparing for a big move. He would not foolishly wait for the other party to use a big move before making a move.
Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan made their move. The white-robed old man also stopped howling. With his eyes red, he blew the shakuba again. This time, the sound of the shakuba was no longer gentle but had become sharp.
"Ugh …"
Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan cried out in pain at the same time. The sharp shakuba sound made their heads feel as if they had been hit by a hammer.
Gathering their Qi, Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan slowly walked forward, using their cultivation to resist the shakuba sound.
"Three axes, huh?"
Liu Qingyun laughed. The sharp shakuba sound was not as terrifying as imagined. At the very least, it did not have a continuous effect. The initial dull pain of being hit by a hammer only lasted for about three seconds. After that, the only effect it had on people was to make their inner strength flow more sluggish than before.
However, Liu Qingyun's laughter quickly stopped. When he looked back, his eyes could not help but widen to their maximum.
The frozen corpses had caught up! This time, they were no longer emitting white mist, but crimson red mist, just like the white-robed old man's eyes. Moreover, other than the change in the color of the mist, their speed had also increased by a lot!
Previously, the white-robed old man had to create opportunities for the frozen corpses by flying kites. Now, the shakuba sound had slowed down Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan's inner strength flow, increasing the speed of the frozen corpses. As long as Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan dared to stay for a moment, the frozen corpses would immediately catch up to them!
"Run!"
Liu Qingyun's scalp tingled as he took the lead to rush forward.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Qiao Xishan was already panicking. Although Liu Qingyun was covered in blood, those were all superficial wounds. Qiao Xishan's internal injuries were much more serious than Liu Qingyun's.
"We've lured them to Emei Sect. We're fighting with our lives here. Why should we let them have it easy?" Liu Qingyun said hatefully.
The white-robed old man's injuries were not light either. He was powerless to stop Liu Qingyun and Qiao Xishan's escape, so he could only chase after them on his snow leopard.
On the snowy ground, the one running in front was Liu Qingyun, followed by Qiao Xishan, and the white-robed old man in third place. Following behind the white-robed old man were twenty-seven frozen corpses that did not know fatigue or pain.
The white-robed old man continued to play the shakuba sound as a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Liu Qingyun had already sensed the danger of death. His escape speed did not slow down for Qiao Xishan at all. Qiao Xishan's injuries were getting worse, and the distance between him and Liu Qingyun was increasing.
"Elder Liu, wait for me. Cough cough …"
Qiao Xishan vomited blood as despair appeared in his eyes.
Liu Qingyun did not respond, but his escape speed increased.
"Roar …"
The snow leopard roared and pounced on Qiao Xishan from behind.
Without stopping, after the snow leopard left, a large group of frozen corpses surrounded Qiao Xishan who had just gotten up.
"I'll fight it out with you!"
Qiao Xishan roared as his energy danced back and forth.
The frozen corpses did not make a sound. They only repeated the action of waving their weapons mechanically.
"Ah …"
Screams accompanied by the sound of bones shattering spread far and wide on the snowy mountain. The two of them together were not a match for these frozen corpses, let alone him who was injured. Qiao Xishan's heart was filled with despair. He cursed Liu Qingyun and was unwilling to accept his fate. Soon, he was smashed into meat paste by the frozen corpses.
He was really unwilling. He did not expect that Liu Qingyun, who grew up with him, cultivated with him, and was as close as a brother, would abandon him at a critical moment. It was because he did not expect that he would pay a terrible price in the end.
Qiao Xishan died like a red plum blooming on the snowy ground.
On the top of the mountain, Gu Zheng, Wuyou, and the others had already noticed the difference behind them. Gu Zheng only found out after asking the weapon spirit that Liu Qingyun had been secretly following them.
Not only that, but Liu Qingyun was also ambushed by the white-robed old man. Both sides were injured. Now, only Liu Qingyun was running over from the Qingcheng Sect, and the white-robed old man was chasing him from behind. Liu Qingyun was already injured, and it seemed that he wanted to lead the trouble to them.
Looking at the approaching Liu Qingyun and the white-robed old man, Gu Zheng and the others had solemn expressions.
