With a cold laugh Xue Xiangzhu said, "An Yesun, your martial art skill is indeed very high, but it's a pity that no matter how much you change, you still can't break away from the basic principle; you still can't break away from our Cult's secret manual. We have seen it very clearly, we are able to predict the enemy's move first, so that you can't fully execute your move, so that it won't be effective. Right now you are in our formation, it doesn't matter if we can't defeat you right away, as long as you don't end the battle quickly. We have many people here, if this battle continues for a long time, you will die of exhaustion. "
Nangong Xue was watching from the bushes with burning anxiety. Previously she had seen An Yesun fight with other people, but she always hoped that he would be defeated as soon as possible, that he would be killed by the opponent's saber. This time she was standing on the same front line as him, her heart was only concerned about his safety. An Yesun's expression was still calm and composed, but she did not know whether he understood the gravity of the situation. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up several stones with sharp edges from the bushes and threw them toward the battle.
"Ah!" a disciple cried out as he held the back of his head, blood seeped through the gaps between his fingers. Nangong Xue was overjoyed that her attack succeeded. Xue Xiangzhu coldly said, "An Yesun, in the past when you fought with other people, you were still able to do so. Why did you hide in the dark and launch a sneak attack toward your former brother? You are really a shameless person! "An Yesun said," I didn't ask anybody else to help me, she was meddlesome. Believe it or not, it's up to you. "
The disciple whose head was smashed was not seriously injured, he angrily said, "She is ruthless enough. I am going to drag her out and smash a hole in her skull!" He deliberately raised his voice, hoping to distract An Yesun. Xue and Zhao, two Xiangzhu also seized this opportunity to launch a fierce attack. To their surprise, An Yesun was completely unmoved, he did not show the slightest bit of delay in his counterattack.
The disciple leaped out of the battle circle and called out, "I am going! Xiangzhu, please don't kill him right now. If I don't see him die with my own eyes, I won't be satisfied! " Zhao Xiangzhu called out, "Don't worry, we'll chop off his limbs first. When you come back, we'll dig out his heart and liver."
An Yesun snorted coldly. His folding fan bypassed An Yesun's sword and stabbed him in the chest. Xue Xiangzhu stretched out his steel hammer to block it and said, "Does it sound familiar? In the past, you used the same method to deal with the brothers who broke the rules of the Church. You should thank yourself. We learned from you. "An Yesun sneered," Hmph, who cares! "
Nangong Xue exerted his strength to throw the rock. Although it hit the target, it also tore open the wound on his arm caused by the iron dart. She was not strong enough to pick up any more stones. She could only lie motionless in the grass, praying that the person would not find her.
But the churchman came straight at her, and stretched out a large hand to grab her. Nangong Xue inadvertently saw that the grass around her was dyed red, which became the most obvious sign. Only now did she regret that she did not bandage her wound earlier. Using the cover of the bushes, he moved a few steps to the side, avoiding the man's direction. When the man was right in front of him, he grabbed the man's sleeve with one hand and pulled it down. At the same time, he used the force to stand up and hit the man's back with the other hand.
But that person changed his move very quickly. She did not know what kind of strange martial art he used, but his body shrunk and straightened, like a slippery loach he slipped out of her grasp. At the same time he backhandedly poked Nangong Xue's body several times. Nangong Xue was immediately unable to move. She was dragged out of the grass by the back of her neck.
On the other side, An Yesun was still engaged in a fierce battle with the churchmen, showing no sign of losing. The churchman shouted loudly, "Everybody stop fighting! I have something to say! "Seeing that he succeeded, Xue Xiangzhu smiled in satisfaction. He pulled his wolf-tooth mace back and was about to turn around to face him. An Yesun just sat and watched, ignoring him. His folding fan shot toward Xue Xiangzhu's back. Xue Xiangzhu was startled. He leaped backward in a sorry state and quickly turned his wolf-tooth mace around to parry the attack. "Are you deaf?" He shouted angrily, "You … how can you …"
An Yesun turned his folding fan and pointed it toward Xue Xiangzhu's waist. At the same time his palm pushed toward Xue Xiangzhu's right shoulder. Xue Xiangzhu focused his internal energy on his shoulder and braced himself to receive the attack. He raised his wolf-tooth mace to block his waist. He did not expect that An Yesun changed his move midway. His palm did not hit Xue Xiangzhu's head, his folding fan also spun midway and 'Bang!' it knocked Xue Xiangzhu's forehead.
Seeing that he was being ignored, the churchman was furious. He grabbed Nangong Xue's neck with his big hands and shouted, "An Yesun, if you don't stop, she will lose her life!" Nangong Xue clenched her teeth, not willing to let out a blood-curdling scream.
An Yesun's move forced Xue Xiangzhu to retreat several steps. Then he gracefully turned around and broke away from the encirclement. It was as if he did not notice the unforeseen event until this moment, but his face did not show the least bit of anxiety. With a leisurely laugh he said, "Humph, humph, Xue Xiangzhu, it's not the first time you know me. Could it be that you think I, the Crippled Fiend Star, will be threatened by other people? Much less the one you brought to pin me down is a worthless, stupid woman? The older you get, the duller your brain becomes, you idiot! "
Nangong Xue felt the force on her neck increased. Obviously the person holding her hostage heard An Yesun's attitude and was very angry. But as she heard these words, she remembered that her friendship with An Yesun was not deep. He was also an extremely arrogant person, so naturally he would not lower himself just because of her. But if she was really in a dangerous situation, he would not abandon her and not care about her either. This almost formed a kind of tacit understanding. Therefore, she was calm and her expression did not change. In other people's eyes, she looked calm and composed. If it was not because there was an ambush, then it was because she was unafraid of death. For a moment, the disciples felt some admiration for this woman.
Xue Xiangzhu shouted, "I'm not a Xiangzhu anymore. Call me Hall Master Xue!" An Yesun laughed coldly. "Oh," he said, "You've been promoted. How come I didn't know?" Hall Master Xue said, "Not only that, I've also replaced your position. The Old Man is now the Hall Master of the Fallen Heavens Hall, personally appointed by the Holy Hierarch."
An Yesun muttered to himself, "I'm not dead yet, and he's in a hurry to give my position to someone else? Isn't he a bit too hasty? " "Humph," he said, "Hall Master Xue, according to reason, I should congratulate you. But you won't live for long anyway. After you die, no matter how high your official position is in the world of the living, it won't have much meaning. I'll take the liberty of not congratulating you. Please don't take offense. " The disciples on the side heard the two of them arguing over an unimportant issue. They felt helpless, but they also found it funny.
Hall Master Xue's face turned from green to white. "An Yesun," he said angrily, "don't be too complacent! Don't forget, your friend's life is still in our hands. I'll count to one, two, three. If you don't surrender, we'll execute her. "
An Yesun sneered and cast a glance toward Nangong Xue. He was indifferent to her suffocating situation. Then his gaze returned to Hall Master Xue's face. "Did you not hear what I said just now? Or are you old and hard of hearing? Do you want me to find someone to repeat it for you? It's not like your hands haven't been stained with blood. Do you need to ask me again and again to kill someone? I don't care if you kill her or not. What does it have to do with me? "
Hall Master Xue carefully examined his expression, trying to figure out whether his heartlessness was genuine or just a pretense. After looking for half a day, he couldn't find any flaw. "I forgot," he said with a laugh, "Perished Hall Master's greatest strength is that his cold-bloodedness is almost perfect. You're indeed not someone who can be restrained. But we can't let this matter go so easily. As long as Perished Hall Master doesn't cover for her, we don't need to make things difficult for her. Tell me, what do you think? "
The disciple with the broken back of his head said, "It's too easy to just kill her like that. If you want to use it, you should use a knife that has been dipped in salt water and cut off her flesh piece by piece … Master of Perish Hall, you still have a lot of ways to punish our brothers. The headquarter still has a lot of torture tools. It's a pity to waste those methods. Why don't we practice them in front of you? If there's anything that's not good enough, please don't hesitate to correct us. Hahaha …"
An Yesun sneered, "You Hierarch don't care about church affairs and raise a bunch of trash. It's expected that the Sacrifice Shadow Church will collapse." One of the disciples said angrily, "What do you mean by that?" An Yesun sneered, "You disregarded your mission and secretly tortured a woman just to spite me. Isn't that the same as being crippled?" Nangong Xue listened to them and was really afraid that those torture methods would be used on her. Even if it was just one of them, she absolutely couldn't endure it. She wanted to beg for mercy, but she didn't want to appear spineless in front of the demons and lose Huashan Sect's face. She couldn't open her mouth no matter what.
While the two sides were in a deadlock, a few horses galloped toward them from the distance. This time, it was a group of genuine Yellow Mountain Sect disciples. They were all wearing the same clothes as the ones who died in the inn. When they reached them, the leader pulled on the reins and everyone dismounted.
The old man in the lead stepped forward and cupped his hands. Then, he said to Hall Master Xue, "May I know which sect you are from? Why did you have a conflict with these people? "
Hall Master Xue said indifferently, "This has nothing to do with you. I advise you to leave as soon as possible and not get involved in this mess." The Yellow Mountain Sect's old man sneered, "That's easy for you to say. This old man came here specifically to look for the murderer of our sect's disciples. You're saying this has nothing to do with me?"
Hall Master Xue pointed at An Yesun and said, "You're looking for him? So you're saying that you're not friends but enemies? "The old man glanced at him then leaned over and whispered a few words into his ear. The big man next to him was the one who had his acupoints sealed by Nangong Xue in the inn and was thrown into a corner. Later, when everyone went upstairs and searched for him to no avail, they barged into the room and rescued him. He had seen everything with his own eyes. He nodded and said, "Master, it's the two of them. Disciple won't make a mistake."
The old man said loudly, "Good. This old man, as the Yellow Mountain Sect's Sect Leader, wants to buy a favor from everyone. Please hand that brat over to me. You won't refuse to give me face, right? "
Hall Master Xue forced a cold smile and said, "So it's Sect Leader Liu. Other matters can be discussed, but this old man would like to ask Sire one thing: according to your Yellow Mountain Sect's rules, how do you deal with traitors? "
The old man surnamed Liu was called Liu Mujian. Hearing this question, he was slightly astonished. He said, "I heard from my disciple that this brat's martial arts are very high! He's a traitor of your sect? May I ask which sect your honorable sect is? " Hall Master Xue could hear the suspicion in his words, but he pretended not to notice. He smiled faintly and said, "That's right, his martial arts are high, that's for sure. Do you know who this brat is?" He spread out his palms and proudly said, "He's the famous Cruel Fiend Star An Yesun!" Nangong Xue looked at his posture and snorted disdainfully, as if he was boasting about himself.
Liu Mujian was shocked. "He's really An Yesun? Then … then you're all from the Devil Sect? "" Exactly, "Hall Master Xue said. "It's not too late for you to retreat now."
Liu Mujian slowly nodded his head and said, "Turns out those good-for-nothing disciples of mine died at the hands of the Cruel Fiend Star Daren. At least they didn't disappoint their Sect's teachings." Although he was talking to himself, he deliberately raised his voice, as if he was saying this intentionally for An Yesun to hear. He continued, "This old man recently received news that the demoness with the Afterimage Sword was going to meet up with her companions at a certain town's inn. We immediately sent people to intercept her. With the current situation, if any of our disciples stayed on the mountain and ran into her alone, they would definitely not be her match. It's better to be safe than sorry. That's why we didn't let any of our disciples escape. It's not because we have the advantage in numbers. Our humble sect's disciples fighting with Daren in the inn was all a misunderstanding. "
