That masked woman's moves and stances were shaky, and her strength seemed to be about the same as mine. I don't know why she dared to boast so shamelessly. At first, I thought she was bullying me with numbers, which violated the chivalrous way's rules, so I wanted to advise my martial brothers to go easy on her. Good men don't fight with women.
Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly held a long sword in front of her chest. The sword's material was not ordinary. Under the sunlight, it sparkled with a silver light, looking very beautiful. My attention was attracted by the sword, so I didn't pay attention to her. She casually waved her hand, and a burst of sword energy streaked across … Speaking of sword energy, I shouldn't use the word burst, but that was the first thought that came to my mind. At the same time, my vision blurred. When the smoke dissipated, I saw … saw that the mountain was littered with the corpses of my martial brothers!
I was scared out of my wits. The masked woman supported herself with her sword and sneered twice. 'Humph, you can't even withstand a single blow!' Then she raised her voice and shouted, 'Meng Anying, come out! Hiding inside like a turtle, you don't dare to come out and see people? Come out! Come out! 'This … this is really disrespectful. I feel that it's inappropriate for me to relay it now. "Sha Qi lowered his head, not knowing what to do.
Li Yijie patted his shoulder comfortingly. Sha Qi seemed to be encouraged. He took a few deep breaths and continued, "I discussed it with several martial brothers who had just arrived. We couldn't let her continue shouting and cursing at the mountain gate. That wouldn't be proper! Several of them volunteered to report to Master, but I stayed behind to keep an eye on that woman. She shouted several times, making my heart clench. Suddenly, I heard a voice behind me. 'Who has the guts to make a ruckus here and disturb other people's cultivation?'
The voice wasn't loud, but it was dignified. I knew Master had arrived, and I was delighted. Turning around, I saw Master dressed in plain clothes. His hands were clasped behind his back, and his head was held high. He didn't look sideways as he slowly walked over. His clothes were coarse, but his imposing manner didn't diminish in the slightest. Unlike that woman, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, standing next to Master, she looked like a little girl who had just made her debut. Looking at Master's ruddy complexion, it was obvious that he had made some progress in his cultivation. As disciples, when we saw him, we felt joy.
The woman raised her chin at her master and said, "Oh, you're Meng Anying. You finally dare to come out and see me?"
His master replied sternly, 'I have always been magnanimous in my life. I have never dared to meet anyone. Even the evil spirits in hell have to avoid me. You came to Mount Hua and hurt my disciple without saying a word. There's no such thing in this world. Tell me, how do you want to solve this? "
Our master is a modest gentleman, and his words are polite. However, the woman didn't know what was good for her. She said aggressively, "If I want to see you, you have to put aside your work and come out to see me immediately. I never wait for anyone. This is also my rule. You can only blame yourself for choosing the wrong time to cultivate behind closed doors. Your disciples have been rude to me. As a master, I can't teach my disciples well, so I'll discipline them on your behalf. I'm already letting you off easy by not asking you to pay for their mistakes. How dare you accuse me again? '
His master laughed and said, "You're young, but your tone is quite big! Who sent you to Mount Hua to make trouble? '
The woman sneered and spread her right hand in front of her. She said, "Who told you to be careless and offend people? He told me that the fault of a single person must be repaid by all his disciples. Old Man Meng, you stole a secret manual from him. After so many years, you should have mastered the martial arts in it, right? If you return it to me now, I'll let you off lightly and leave your corpse intact. "
I don't know if I'm being paranoid, but I clearly felt that my master's face showed a strange expression. However, it disappeared in a flash. He replied, "I'm an honest and upright person. Why would I do such a thing? Don't slander me here! "
The woman sneered and said, "You're really good at pretending! You used other people's martial arts to teach your disciple to fight for the position of the Wulin Alliance Leader. Then you led all the major sects to destroy them. Humph, I almost forgot that this is the specialty of your righteous sects. Old Man Meng, do you recognize this sword? 'Then he tilted the sword and pointed it at his Shifu's shoulder. I stared at the dazzling gemstones on the hilt. Suddenly I saw Shifu's expression change. He said in surprise, 'Afterimage Sword?' I knew that Afterimage Sword was the most precious treasure of the Wulin world. Unexpectedly, I was fortunate enough to see it.
The woman sneered and said, "That's right. At least you have some knowledge! Seeing the Residual Shadow Sword, why don't you kneel down? "My master frowned and said," The Residual Shadow Sword has always been the most precious treasure of the Devil Sect. How can it be in your hands? Who are you to the Devil Sect? I've seen the daughter of the previous Hierarch before. Are you his second daughter? " My martial brothers and I had long suspected this woman's background. However, my master said that she was a witch of the Devil Sect. This was unexpected.
Hearing my master's question, the woman suddenly became very happy. Although her face was covered by a veil, her eyes were smiling. She chuckled and said, "I'm not the daughter of the Sacrificial Shadow Sect. I'm just a little servant girl. You righteous disciples can't even defeat me. How can you be his opponent?"
She had gone too far. My master couldn't bear it and said, "Don't speak too soon. We'll only know the outcome after we fight!" With a clang, a sword appeared in my master's hand. He leaped towards the witch and chopped down. The witch waved the Residual Shadow Sword to counterattack.
Strangely enough, when I saw her fight with my martial brothers, her martial arts were ordinary and she only knew how to use some clumsy moves. As soon as she fought with my master, she used more and more ruthless sword moves. I didn't believe that she would become stronger if she met a strong opponent. Could it be that she was hiding her strength? But if my master personally fought, then there would be no problem. My martial brothers and I rushed out from our hiding places and cheered for my master.
The two of them were evenly matched. However, if we looked carefully, the witch was only relying on the sharpness of her sword. In terms of martial arts, my master was a notch higher. After a few more rounds, my master's style suddenly changed. Looking at the style of his sword, not only did he not teach us, it was similar to the witch's martial arts. My martial brothers and I looked at each other, thinking: Could it be that my master really stole her sword manual?
Forgive me for not being able to describe the details of the fierce battle. The two people's moves were faster and faster. Often, I was still amazed by the marvelousness of the first move. However, the two of them had already exchanged more than ten moves. When the battle reached its climax, their figures disappeared and turned into two clumps of light. My martial brothers and I were on tenterhooks as we watched. Then, we heard a 'peng' sound. It sounded like palms colliding. Then, the two people floated back and landed on the ground. My master stood steadily, his sleeves fluttering. The tip of his sword was slanted towards the road. The witch leaned on the afterimage sword to support herself. Her shoulders trembled slightly as she gasped for breath.
Looking at her movements, we were certain that she was injured. Since my master had defeated her, he must be able to capture her alive to avenge our dead martial brothers. We were about to rush forward and grab her when suddenly we saw my master's body swaying. A bloodstain appeared on his gray robe, which was continuously expanding. Blood also seeped out from his chest. Suddenly his knees went soft and he fell backward. We were scared out of our wits and only then did we think of supporting him. That witch straightened her back and sneered, 'Humph! You deceive the world to gain fame!' Then she turned to us and said, 'Whoever brings the secret manual will be dealt with leniently.' "
"Ah!" Li Yijie also exclaimed in a low voice, "Then Master … how is my master now?"
"Shixiong, don't worry," Sha Qi said, "We have already bandaged Master's wound. He has taken and applied many panaceas. His injury is now under control. At that time … at that time everybody hated that witch bitterly, thinking that she had killed my master. The enmity of murdering my master was absolutely irreconcilable. One after another we drew our swords and attacked her. I was timid, so I was the last one to attack. Seeing that she was ruthless, I was afraid my martial brothers would repeat the same mistake. I did not have the heart to watch, so I quietly crawled out. Carrying Master on my back, I slipped to the side and hid behind a pine tree.
I wanted to bury Master properly, but inadvertently I felt his breath. Unexpectedly, he was still breathing. Turned out Master was not dead! I was extremely happy. Following what he taught me, I sealed several of his acupoints to stop the bleeding. I said, 'Master, the situation is urgent, please forgive disciple for offending you.' Finished speaking, I tore open his blood-soaked robe, exposing his wound. I was about to bandage Master's wound when … when I felt a cold sensation on the side of my neck. A sword was placed on my neck, the tip of the sword was right in front of my eyes.
I saw the blood dripping from the sword. Without even turning my head, I knew that my martial brothers had been killed by her. I was filled with grief and indignation. I wished I could slit my throat with her sword and die with my martial brothers. Unexpectedly … I discovered a strange phenomenon. The blood on the Afterimage Sword did not spread. Instead, it gathered at one spot and slowly merged with the sword. It was as if … as if the sword had absorbed the blood. After the blood disappeared, the silver light of the sword became brighter. It was simply a bloodthirsty demonic sword!
I was so scared that I shivered and did not dare to move. I heard that woman's cold voice resounding behind me. It was as if she had come from hell. She said, 'I will spare your life for now. Quickly go to the imperial palace and report to Alliance Master Li, the great hero Li. Ask him to deal with me.' After she said that, I felt the pressure on my neck lighten. She had already removed the Afterimage Sword.
I squatted on the ground, not daring to turn my head for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, I twisted my stiff neck and saw that the woman had already disappeared without a trace. This time … our Huashan Sect lost more than half of its members. My martial brothers were seriously injured. If they do not rest for several months, it will be difficult for them to recover. "
Sha Qi forced himself to finish his story. Trembling, he fell to the ground. Li Yijie hurriedly reached out to support him. He comforted him, "Don't be afraid, little martial brother. There is no danger now!" He slammed his fist on the table and angrily said, "The Demonic Sect has been silent for many years. This time, they have reappeared in Jianghu. They are using blood to pave a new path! How abominable! I wonder why they chose our Huashan Sect as their first target? "Suddenly, he remembered something. His heart heated up and he blurted out," What about Xueer? Is he alright? "
Sha Qi was startled. His expression became slightly embarrassed. He said, "Martial brother, we all know that you care about martial sister Nangong. But she … she … is not well … "Li Yijie angrily said," Those bastards, they did not even let Xueer off? "
Sha Qi was even more embarrassed. He said, "Not entirely. After my martial brothers and I settled our Shifu down, we all sat down to discuss. We all said that although martial sister Nangong had the punishment of facing the wall for the rest of her life, the current situation was special. Our sect was facing a calamity of extermination. She was also a Huashan disciple, she ought to share our trials and tribulations. Therefore, we went to the peak to look for her. But when we reached the peak, we saw … saw … "His voice was trembling, his eyes were evasive.
Suddenly, Li Yijie saw Nangong Xue covered in blood, lying weakly on the ground, unconscious. He was shocked. "She … how is she?"
He asked. Sha Qi said, "The peak was empty. Nangong Shijie unexpectedly disappeared! But … disappearing without a trace is better than finding a corpse … Right now there are some rumors among the Shixiong, they are very unpleasant to hear. Of course I believe Shijie, but … "" What did they say? "Li Yijie asked.
Sha Qi said, "Martial brothers said … said that Shijie and the Demonic Sect's demons were in cahoots from the beginning. Otherwise, how could Shijie disappear at the same time as they attacked the mountain? "
Li Yijie angrily cut him off, "A bunch of nonsense!" Sha Qi was so scared that he shrank back. "That's right," he said, "We are all from the same sect. What's the point of spreading rumors? I also often advised them that Nangong Shijie is not that kind of person. They were gradually convinced by me. They also said that the Demonic Sect's demons kidnapped Shijie and wanted to use this opportunity to win over the Qing Tian Village. Martial brother, you don't know this, but the Qing Tian Village's Master Lu once publicly announced in the Wulin world that Shijie is his … his … Mistress of the village … Also, Martial brother said that those two groups of people were not on the same side. It was the Qing Tian Village who kidnapped Shijie under their master's orders. "
