However, if he were to think about it from another perspective, if he had the opportunity to escape, would he not run away like the oil on the soles of his feet? The answer would be 'yes'. If they could think this way, could their companions not? The Sacrifice Shadow Cult had never paid much attention to 'yi qi'. In the face of a great disaster, everybody was thinking about their own safety, even sacrificing their companions. The more they thought about it, the more uncertain they became. Everybody had the same thought. The disciples' faces were ashen, they could not stop trembling, as if ninety percent of their lives had been taken away.
Whether or not the iron chain could be connected was directly related to whether or not they could successfully kill Jiang Liechen. The people on the scene were not much more relaxed than the disciples. They felt as if several hundred years had passed. Suddenly they heard 'ta, ta, ta, ta' footsteps. Several disciples came over with a long iron chain. One of them said, "Fallen Hall Leader, take a look at this one … do you like it?"
An Yesun stretched out his finger and weighed one side of the iron chain. He also checked the iron chain meticulously. After half a day he said, "It's barely passable." He carried the iron chain to the edge of the stone platform. He wrapped one end of the chain around the handle to secure it. And then he slowly lowered the chain to the ground, making it flat everywhere. Then he lifted the other end of the chain.
Everybody gathered around him, wanting to ask him what he was thinking. An Yesun looked at him coldly without saying anything. Cheng Jiahua suddenly said, "Shifu, could it be that you want to borrow the strength of this iron chain to directly leap over the cliff with your lightness kungfu?" An Yesun nodded slightly. With an indifferent smile he said, "In the end, my disciple is smart." Cheng Jiahua laughed and said, "As a disciple, my nature naturally follows my master."
Nangong Xue turned pale with fright. She did not have the heart to pay attention to Cheng Jiahua's random flattery. She rushed forward and called out, "Are you crazy? No matter how anxious you are, you can't play around with your life. Haven't you seen how steep the terrain is? The two mountains are very far apart. You won't be able to reach the other side in one breath. You won't be able to catch your breath in midair. If you fall, your body will be smashed to pieces … "An Yesun coldly said," Too noisy! I grew up in the headquarters, so I know more about the terrain than you do. Don't pretend to be an expert in front of me. "
Nangong Xue anxiously said, "If we could really use lightness kungfu to fly, we wouldn't have to make an extra chain and go through so much trouble to build this mechanism! Even the former Hierarch and Jiang … Jiang Liechen couldn't do it. There has never been a successful precedent. You … you will die! "
An Yesun said, "Very good, then I'll do the first one today. I should have told you that I have long since given up on life and death. " Nangong Xue tried to convince him with reason. "Your original intention was to kill Jiang Liechen," she said. "If you fall to your death here before you even see his face, then … wouldn't you feel wronged? Dying together with him is a heroic act, but you … what is this? "
An Yesun was slightly moved, but immediately regained his composure. "I won't fall to my death," he said. Nangong Xue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Is this something you can decide?" "Then what if everyone first declares that they won't fall to their death and then jumps down? What do you think the result will be? I'm afraid there will only be corpses and piles of white bones left at the bottom of the cliff! "
Lu Qian didn't care whether An Yesun lived or died. He only hoped to see him show off his rare lightness kungfu. If he was persuaded by Nangong Xue and really cherished his life, then he wouldn't be able to enjoy this feast. He was someone who loved to see the world in chaos, so he definitely wouldn't let go of any excitement. He put his arm around Nangong Xue's shoulders and laughed, "Don't worry. Who do you think Young Marshal Yun is? He's a big shot who can traverse both the good and the bad. Do you think he'll be troubled by this little cliff? You're looking down on him too much! If that's really the case, then even I won't think highly of him! Master Yun, am I right? "Nangong Xue angrily said," You … "
Lu Qian's recent flattery was 30% flattery and 70% sarcasm. Although An Yesun was angry, he didn't have time to argue with him. He ignored both of them and closed his eyes to circulate his energy. His left hand slowly rotated around his body, circulating his internal energy. Nangong Xue was burning with anxiety as she watched. She wanted to go forward and stop him, but she was afraid of disturbing him in the middle of circulating his energy. Listening to him talk like this for the past few days was very harmful to her body. Both of her hands were tightly held by Lu Qian, which made her even more irritated.
An Yesun finished circulating his internal energy. His left hand drew a semicircle behind him, hitting the pavement. At the same time, his feet pushed off the ground and he pulled the iron chain to leap to the opposite side. At first glance, he was as fast as an arrow leaving the bow. His posture was also like a soaring eagle, full of heroic spirit. The iron chain on the ground gradually became taut between the two cliffs. Cheng Jiahua clapped and shouted, "Good! Good! "Lu Qian immediately joined in the cheering. The two of them looked as relaxed as if they were watching a show. The Sacrifice Shadow disciples looked at each other and thought, "I wonder if the archers hiding below are still on standby?"
Nangong Xue was right. No matter how well he circulated his internal energy, it would be impossible for him to reach the opposite side. An Yesun suddenly felt that his internal energy was insufficient in midair. At the same time, his body felt weak and he was about to fall. But looking at the cliff in front of him, he knew that he only needed to exert a little more force. He thought, "There's no other way. I can't wait. I have to succeed this time."
In order to obtain the greatest amount of support, when he stimulated the recoil, he also made his speed extremely fast. The strong wind whistled, and when it scraped against his face, it was as painful as knives. His ears and nostrils were also filled with the strong wind, and his hearing and breathing ability were greatly reduced. Only when he saw a bundle of black objects in front of his eyes did he recognize that they were the arrows that were shot up from the bottom of the cliff. In the past, when he casually swung his hands, he never paid attention to them. This time, because he was naked, he didn't dare to come into contact with the arrows. Moreover, he used up what little internal energy he had left. Pulling the iron chain, he moved his body slightly to the side to avoid the arrows.
However, even a small movement in midair could cause a huge commotion. Moreover, his body weight was completely supported by the iron chain. Immediately, he fell diagonally downwards. Faintly, he seemed to hear someone scream from the top of the cliff, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it. His left hand moved around his body a few times to circulate his internal energy, but it was useless. He saw that he was drifting further and further away from the opposite cliff. Right now, he had no place to borrow strength. It was almost impossible for him to get back on track. He was extremely unwilling, "I haven't killed Demon Jiang yet. How can I die like this?"
Just as he was thinking this, two more arrows came from below. An Yesun dodged one arrow and grabbed the other with his left hand. If he was closer to the opposite cliff, he could have stabbed the arrow into the cliff to slow down his fall. However, he couldn't reach the sky and couldn't reach the ground. If he could reach the opposite cliff directly, he wouldn't have to be so anxious and confused. He kicked away one of the arrows with a swift and fierce momentum. However, when he stepped on the object, his body actually rose up a little.
An Yesun suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "That's right. As long as I use these arrows properly, climbing up the opposite cliff won't be a problem. The Sacrificial Shadow Sect is really watertight. But this time, they've helped me a lot. Demon Jiang, you've calculated everything, but in the end, you didn't think you'd make a fool of yourself! "He used his internal energy to throw the arrow down. At the same time, he clamped three silver needles between his fingers.
Sure enough, this arrow attracted a few more arrows. An Yesun raised his hand and waved the needles, deflecting the three arrows into three different places. At the same time, he pulled the iron chain and stepped on the arrow's body. He kicked hard at the highest point of the arrow and rushed toward the opposite cliff. As he slowly approached the cliff, his heart was filled with joy. He was even happier than when he learned a complete set of fist techniques for the first time. Using his left hand to grab the edge of the cliff, the tip of his foot brushed against the cliff wall. He flipped over and landed on the ground. Immediately, he wrapped the iron chain around the stone platform on this side.
Everybody was watching the extremely dangerous situation, but in their hearts they all hoped that he would succeed. When the whole process was over, they couldn't help but cheer in unison. Lu Qian and Cheng Jiahua were also cheering him from the beginning to the end. Nangong Xue also heaved a big sigh of relief.
From now on, they only needed to step on the iron chain and pay attention to the level of the ground to pass through. The difficulty had been reduced by more than half.
Lu Qian saw that everybody's eyes were fixed on An Yesun. He had always liked to be in the limelight. When he thought about how the infamous Devil Cult sorcerer was able to receive such attention, he immediately had the idea to compete with him. He laughed and said, "Yun Daren is indeed very skilled. However, compared to him, everyone here is not necessarily inferior. "
His main goal was to win Nangong Xue's admiration. Just now, when An Yesun was flying up and down in the air, Nangong Xue was extremely nervous. Her palms were constantly sweating. She stared at him with all her attention, biting her lips so hard that they almost bled. Lu Qian saw all of this and his heart was filled with resentment. He hoped that her gaze would also fall on him.
It was hard to tell whether Cheng Jiahua was giving him face or deliberately trying to undermine him. He smiled and said, "I believe that Little Brother Lu is the second hero after my Master. I invite Little Brother Lu to come again and open everyone's eyes!" Lu Qian hurriedly said, "No, no, the new generation surpasses the old. You are Yun Daren's direct disciple, of course you are the second. How would I dare to steal your limelight? Or if you hold my hand, we might be able to stand side by side. But you will be in front and I will be behind. The order cannot be reversed. "
Cheng Jiahua frowned and thought, "When two people hold each other's hand and walk on the iron chain, it means that they are entrusting their lives to each other. My martial arts are not as good as his. As long as he uses his internal energy to slightly shake me, I will definitely fall off the cliff. And he just has to make up a story about not holding my hand tightly. I don't have any relationship with those righteous people, nor am I familiar with them. When the time comes, there won't be a single person who will speak up for me. No, no, by that time I will already be dead. Even if the entire Wulin comes to mourn for me, I won't be able to come back to life. In the end, life is one's own, one must cherish it. "
Although he had always been arrogant, he was still a cautious person. He did not dare to take such a big risk. "Thank you for your kindness," he said, "It's just that Xian Xiong has always been afraid of heights. I am afraid I will drag you down if I am high up in the air. I hope you will forgive me." The two words' Xian Xiong 'were actually used by other people as a form of respect. No one had ever addressed themselves like he did. To say' Xian Xiong 'was also unprecedented and strange.
With a hollow laugh Lu Qian said, "Li Meng Zhu, Meng Zhu Daren ought to set an example. This is a narrow road, who would dare to pass in front of you? Come, I will make way for you. "While saying that, he respectfully made a 'please' gesture.
Li Yijie did not expect that this fire would suddenly burn him. Lu Qian also knew that he could not excessively use his internal energy. Therefore, his words were meant to be sarcastic. But last time during the martial arts competition, Li Yijie used his lightness kung fu to climb up to the roof. Lu Qian was greatly surprised. This proved that Lu Qian had only heard rumors about him in the past. If Li Yijie used this as an excuse and gave Li Yijie a real handle on him, there would be no end of trouble in the future. "How could Xiaodi dare to take the first position?" Lu Xian Xiong used to be the leader of a stronghold, didn't you? Let everybody see, especially the disciples of your stronghold, know that you became the leader of a stronghold by relying on your own strength. "
Without waiting for Lu Qian to come up with an excuse, Cheng Jiahua said, "His martial art skill is the whip technique, but his foundation of internal energy is weak. His lightness kung fu is not his forte. Li Meng Zhu, please don't make things difficult for this honest man." On the surface, he was helping Lu Qian to get out of a difficult situation, but in reality, he was making a fool of himself. Moreover, a martial art expert's weakness was no different from his life gate. It was a secret that must be guarded by every possible means. By revealing it in public, Cheng Jiahua had left a big flaw for his enemy to exploit. Henceforth, he would have to live in fear and trepidation.
Nangong Xue listened to these people's excuses and felt that they did not have the least bit of backbone. Although climbing the Chain Cliff was indeed an extremely dangerous matter, as long as the reason was made clear, no matter if they were timid or weak, they would feel refreshed. It was better than trying to shirk responsibility to each other. What made her even more disappointed was that Li Yijie also played along with these two people. He was poles apart from the courageous and upright martial brother in her mind. Compared to An Yesun's decisiveness, he was even worse. She stomped her foot and said, "Stop arguing! I'll go first! " Unexpectedly, the three people who were arguing fiercely this time had a tacit understanding. They turned their heads toward her and said in unison, "No!"
