Nangong Xue said, "Righteous disciples abhor evildoers. That's what their masters and masters taught them since they were young. That's not wrong. But what they hate are those scoundrels who are truly evil to the core. Since you intend to turn over a new leaf, they should give you this opportunity instead of harping on your past mistakes and refusing to let it go. It's all in the past. No matter what you do, you can't change it. Isn't it more important that you have the heart to make amends? "
An Yesun said, "Who said I want to turn over a new leaf? Just like you said, I'm evil to the core. Just look at me, I'd rather destroy the entire Wulin world to avenge Menglin … "Nangong Xue said," To be honest, you're not evil. You're just deeply in love with Menglin. If we were in each other's shoes, I'd treat Shixiong the same way. "
Li Yijie was fighting with all his might. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw An Yesun and Nangong Xue standing together. Looking at their expressions, they seemed to be chatting happily. Nangong Xue's worried frown disappeared without a trace. Instead, her face was filled with happiness and sweetness. He felt as if his heart was being burned by a raging fire, or as if there was a devil's claw called 'jealousy' scratching him. He was constantly distracted by the enemy, and the enemies who had retreated a little bit earlier took the opportunity to surround him.
Li Yijie knew that if he didn't resolve this matter as soon as possible, he wouldn't be able to continue fighting. He attacked several times with his sword, but only managed to create a gap in the enemy's ranks. His feet didn't stop moving, he dashed forward and stood in front of the two people. He stabbed his sword into the ground, grabbed Nangong Xue's hand, and pulled her away. Then he stood in front of her and said, "Xueer, I told you not to get involved with this kind of people. Why don't you listen?"
Nangong Xue didn't want to waste any more energy on meaningless explanations, so she simply ignored him and didn't answer. Inadvertently, a disciple quietly approached Li Yijie's back, raised his broadsword high, and chopped down toward Li Yijie's head. He could not help but cry out in alarm, "Senior Martial Brother, be careful!" Li Yijie didn't know what was going on, but he was used to his martial sister's teachings since he was young. Every time he received an order, he would consciously carry it out. He subconsciously dodged to the side. He noticed that the sword on the ground was very shallow, but it was because he couldn't use his internal energy, so he didn't have enough strength.
'Whoosh!' the saber fell by his side. Li Yijie pulled his elbow back and struck the hilt of the sword stuck in the ground. The sword bounced back and hit the enemy's navel. Li Yijie seized the opportunity to lower his arm to grab the saber hilt. Unexpectedly that man was also extremely tenacious; even though he suffered a blow to the abdomen, he did not seem to care at all; he still brandished his saber to chop Li Yijie, not even giving him a chance to draw his sword. Moreover, he deliberately moved sideways to force Li Yijie away from his weapon.
An Yesun waved his folding fan and stabbed it into the disciple's throat, then pulled it out. His fingertips lightly rubbed the bloodstains on the fan's handle. Li Yijie had just opened his mouth to say, "I don't need you to save me …" when he saw An Yesun and Nangong Xue's gazes were fixed on something behind him. The disciple who came to assassinate him did not want to hurt him, but wanted to draw him away and then find a way to tie him up so that his companion could concentrate on tinkering with the mechanism. Other than Li Yijie's sudden departure, which was slightly unexpected, everything seemed to be under his control.
As soon as he left, a few disciples immediately circled around him. A few of them stood guard in front of him, while another disciple rushed straight toward the stone platform. Amidst the cries of alarm, he grabbed the switch on the handle and pressed it down. There was a rumbling noise, as if the earth was collapsing and the mountain was shaking. But everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them: an extremely long black iron chain emerged from the mountain peak and shot straight forward, crossing half the sky and connecting to the cliff on the opposite side, where it hung together with the tyrannical 'dragon buckle'. This was the only way to pass between the two places.
Another disciple stepped back a few steps, reached his hand into his sleeve, and suddenly raised his arm. An Yesun saw his movement and immediately knew what was going on. His hands were not careless, and three silver needles flew straight out. One hit the space between the eyebrows, one hit the throat, and one hit the chest. These were all vital points of a person's body. The disciple who was hit immediately stared blankly and fell on his back. However, his previous posture was sufficient. Although he was dead, the secret weapon left his hand first. It flew horizontally against the wind, straight toward the iron chain.
It was actually a small firearm. As soon as it made contact with the center of the iron chain, it immediately exploded with a 'bang', creating a huge fireball in midair. Black smoke surrounded it, and iron shavings scattered everywhere. The iron chain was broken, and from both ends it rapidly drooped down, clinging tightly to the cliff walls. Very quickly, it became still and motionless. Looking down, one could only see smoke and clouds obscuring one's vision.
Li Yijie called out, "Damn it! We fell into a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain! " Right now, he hated his impulsive actions just now. Thinking back to that moment, he felt as if he had been possessed by a demon. He also blamed Nangong Xue for not knowing how to conduct herself; otherwise, this would not have happened.
An Yesun saw that the iron chain was destroyed, and his desire for revenge was extinguished. He was unable to restrain his anger and cursed, "Idiot! Li Yijie, you're an idiot who doesn't know right from wrong, who doesn't know what's important and what's not; you only know how to be jealous. You deserve to die! "He raised his palm and ruthlessly slapped Li Yijie's face. It was a strike that contained all of his anger. Li Yijie knew that he was in the wrong, so he did not dodge. After a long time, he still did not feel the pain on his face. Nangong Xue tightly held An Yesun's arm and called out, "Things have already turned out this way. Even if you kill my Shixiong, it's useless! Calm down and think about whether there's another way out. Don't tell me that you only know how to use force to solve problems? "
An Yesun turned around and glared at Nangong Xue. He thought to himself, wasn't it all because of you two that the Sacrifice Shadow disciple was able to take advantage of us? The anger in his eyes made people worry that his next slap would land on Nangong Xue's face. Li Yijie wanted to tell his Shimei to get out of the way, but for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to do so. He gave Nangong Xue several looks, but Nangong Xue remained unmoved. She looked at An Yesun without fear.
An Yesun couldn't bear it any longer. This also stimulated his savage nature. He coldly said, "That's right!" He fiercely shook off Nangong Xue. His body swayed as he entered the battle. With a wave of his folding fan, he first cut the disciple who activated the mechanism into two halves. Without waiting for the blood to stain his robe, he turned around and smashed down with his folding fan, killing the disciple behind him. Just like Li Yijie, he moved among the disciples, but his attacks were much more ruthless. In just a short while, the ground was littered with mutilated pieces of flesh. Fresh blood flowed like a stream, meandering along the cliff top.
At first, the Sacrifice Shadow disciples still remembered the Hierarch's affection for him. They were afraid that the Hierarch would blame them later on, so they didn't dare to make a move. After he killed many of their companions, and they saw how badly they died, they became timid. How could they be willing to make an enemy out of him? Their martial arts were far inferior to An Yesun's. They also thought that they would definitely lose. Naturally, they didn't have the strength to resist.
Everyone saw how cruel he was. Although they had more or less heard about the Cruel Fiend Star's viciousness, hearing about it couldn't compare to seeing it with their own eyes. It couldn't compare to the pressure they felt in front of them. When they thought about how a few of their respected martial brothers were also polite to him, they didn't want to accept it. But now, they all had the same thought, "Luckily, I was careful with my words and didn't offend him."
Nangong Xue saw how he acted and remembered the first time they met many years ago. She and her martial brothers hid in the bushes and watched him kill the righteous seniors. It was still the same scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere. Although the people he killed this time were all from the Devil Cult and wouldn't be hated more, deep in her heart, she still hoped that he would abandon evil and turn to good.
At this time, everyone on the cliff top had their own thoughts. Some were scared, some were worried, and some were like Nangong Xue. But there was no lack of people who were watching with great interest and cheered. Lu Qian gave a thumbs up and praised, "Beautiful! This is what I call the 'Cruel Fiend Star'! "
The Sacrifice Shadow Disciples blocking the way saw that their companions were getting fewer and fewer, but An Yesun still had no intention of stopping. If this continued, it would be their turn sooner or later. Their thoughts were all moving. They had sworn to protect Jiang Liechen with their lives and had meticulously planned this ambush. They just wanted to wait for him to become a devil so that they could reap some benefits. They weren't really loyal to him.
The current situation was clear. If they continued to be Jiang Liechen's lackeys, they would die in the blink of an eye, let alone be rewarded according to their merits in the future. And if they didn't obey this great devil's orders, he wouldn't forgive them in the future. But right now, if they begged the righteous people to let them live for now, they would escape far away in the future and Jiang Liechen wouldn't be able to find them. Dying late was always better than dying early. Besides, Hierarch Jiang's martial arts were close to zero before midnight today. If they took the risk and fought, these rebels might really be able to kill him. If that happened, they would be completely free. For the first time, they felt that the righteous people who claimed to rid the world of evil and bring peace to the people were so precious.
The disciples had worked together for a long time, so their thoughts were almost the same. The survivors slowly moved to the corner and gathered into a small group. They screamed in a high-pitched voice, "Surrender … surrender!"
An Yesun saw that the group had gathered in one place, which was exactly what he wanted. Just as he was about to wave his fan to get rid of them all, he heard their declaration. He casually tossed his fan into the air, spun it around, and caught it again. "What did you say? Louder, I can't hear you! " The group of disciples knew that he was deliberately making things difficult for them, but they didn't dare resist. They shouted in unison, "Surrender!" This time, they shouted in unison and were exceptionally loud. It could be said that their voices shook the valley and could be heard clearly in the secret room.
An Yesun said coldly, "You think it's easy. What's the point of surrendering now that you've done your job? What else can you do now? " A disciple said, "Please allow subordinate to atone for our mistake by meritorious service. Tomorrow, we'll find a way to report to the Hierarch. If you insist on seeing him, we'll invite him here to have a martial art competition with you …"
An Yesun said in his heart, "In other places, I don't have as much advantage as in this secret room. If I can't use those buried explosives, what am I worth? " He angrily said, "The time of the hour of the hour of the hour of the hour cannot be exceeded. Even if it's one minute, one second, I can't wait. That day cannot be delayed." The disciple said, "The hour of the hour of the hour of the hour … Ah, Fallen Hall Leader, turns out you are …" But right now his little life was still in someone else's hands, he didn't dare to carelessly say anything to provoke him.
Li Yijie also stepped forward. "Is there only one iron chain?" He asked, "Is there a spare?" "Isn't that stupid?" In the past, when the craftsmen were building the mechanism, the iron chain was cast together with the mountain peak. How could it be replaced? " Another disciple said, "It's not hard to find a chain that has the same function, but … we'll have to ask the Master of the Fallen Hall to wait for ten days and a half … no, half a month. It's our first time working on it, and we're still unfamiliar with it. It's inevitable that we'll be slow. By then, we might be able to connect the mechanism properly."
An Yesun coldly said, "He said one day, I can't wait. You dare to make me wait ten days?" Hearing this, everybody thought it was quite amusing; they all smiled. It was also at this moment that the disciple who had spoken let out a muffled groan as blood flowed from his head. He had been killed by a single palm strike. Only now did the crowd of heroes remember that An Yesun had always killed people like scything flax. Right now, no matter how funny they felt, nobody dared to show the slightest bit of joy.
An Yesun said angrily, "Even if it's before midnight today, I must go! If it's because you think you're smart enough to stop me and make me fail at the last step … I hate you so much that I want to kill you one by one and use your corpses as a human ladder! "
Hearing this, the disciples' faces turned ghastly pale. They all begged for mercy, "Master of the Fallen Hall, please spare our lives. Please spare our lives." Someone even smashed the pot to pieces. "Master of the Fallen Hall," he said, "if you kill us now, you'll only make a joke out of us. For a gentleman to take revenge, ten years is not too late. You can't even wait for ten days. How can you be a material for great things? "
An Yesun was furious, but he didn't have the time to kill him. His mind was in a daze as he came up with an idea. Although it was very risky, he had to make it in time. He didn't care about his own safety. "Since you said you have a spare iron chain, go get it for me. Quick!"
