The father and son knew that as soon as he landed on the ground, they would immediately stab him with their swords. However, they didn't expect that he would use Manor Master Xia as a shield. It was too late for them to change their moves.
Although Manor Master Xia was angry, he couldn't get rid of the person behind him and he couldn't stop his companions from attacking. He was almost ready to die. He thought that perhaps this was his retribution for betraying his brother. Unexpectedly, when the sword was in front of his eyes, a black shadow flashed and his body started to spin violently. There was clearly the sound of the sword touching something but he didn't feel any pain. Then, a few drops of warm liquid splashed on his face. The smell of blood was pungent and there were screams of surprise behind him.
Manor Master Xia turned his head to look and couldn't help but be stunned. It turned out that it was Li Yijie who arrived quickly, grabbed his body and spun him half a circle, which saved him from being pierced by the long sword. Li Yijie activated his Qi to protect his body, and at the same time, did not stop spinning. Only a cut was made on his arm, and blood splashed out, but it was not the "serious injury" that he had thought before. Manor Master Xia heaved a sigh of relief. His mouth immediately hardened and he complained, "You brat … Who asked you to be meddlesome? How is your injury? "
Li Yijie smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter. Since we are on the same side, we should help each other, right?" All sorts of feelings welled up in Manor Master Xia's heart. If he was truly as righteous as he claimed, then why did this kid, who was neither a relative nor a friend, sacrifice himself just as he was about to be stabbed by the sword? Even his sworn brother had chosen to sacrifice him temporarily. He hated owing people favors the most and he didn't know what to do.
Li Yijie's chin just happened to be resting on his shoulder. He leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Manor Master Xia, I'm really fine … Moreover … the angle we're in right now … is just right for me!" The first few words were whispered in his ear. When he said the last sentence, his voice suddenly became louder and his eyes lit up again.
Jiang Liechen saw that Manor Master Xia's scorching eyes were looking at him with pride. Seeing that the two of them were so far apart that they could be said to be directly facing each other, Jiang Liechen cursed inwardly. He waved his sleeves in front of him to protect himself and floated back. However, he was also heavily injured in the fierce battle, so his retreating speed was slower than usual. Li Yijie suddenly let out a loud shout. With one hand on Manor Master Xia's shoulder, he leaped into the air and thrust his sword toward Manor Master Xia. The sword pierced Manor Master Xia's right shoulder and came out from his back. Blood splashed out from the tip of the sword.
Without waiting for Jiang Liechen to curse, the original Zhuangzhu and the others had already turned around. Several long swords pierced through his back and through his chest. At this moment, both his front and back were drenched in blood.
Jiang Liechen felt his internal energy was rapidly draining away; it was very difficult for him to raise his internal energy to fight Li Yijie. Even he couldn't predict his next move. He quickly turned to the side, forcing his body out of the way of the sword nail. Relying on the remaining momentum, he rushed forward in the direction of Nangong Xue. He reached out futilely towards her collar.
Nangong Xue seemed to be stunned by these astonishing moves. She stood in place and didn't try to evade. Manor Master Xia raised his shovel and swept it toward Jiang Liechen's body. Jiang Liechen lost his footing and was sent flying. His back hit the mountain wall. Li Yijie and the others didn't hesitate and immediately pursued. The closer they were to the final critical moment, the more they couldn't let the joy of victory go to their heads.
Jiang Liechen felt a burning pain in his back. The lava flowing down from the mountain pass covered his wounds. The initial pain was drowned out by the pain of his burning flesh. He forced himself to take out a small bottle from his pouch and threw it into the air. Nangong Xue cried out in alarm, "That's the Broken Love Poison! Be careful! "She quickly raised her hand and threw out an arrow, shattering the bottle.
Jiang Liechen was standing at the bottom of the bottle. Before he could react, the Broken Love Poison poured down on his body. It flowed from the top of his head to the sides. His entire body was covered with this highly toxic medicine.
Hundreds of waves of pain hit him at the same time. It miraculously counteracted each other and he didn't feel any pain at all. He could see that his arms were rapidly decomposing into white bones at an astonishing speed. At the same time, a drop of poison flowed over his eyelids. His eyeballs immediately felt a burning pain. His vision turned from blurry to dark.
The last thing Li Yijie and the others saw was his eyes that were filled with extreme resentment and unwillingness, and it caused them to be unable to help but feel that just this gaze alone was capable of tearing apart the enemy he hated. When the Broken Love Poison poured down, it brought with it a black smoke. It also had a pungent smell that made people cry.
The original Manor Lord shouted, "Be careful. That black smoke is poisonous!" He was the first to jump back. Manor Lord Ping and the others didn't dare to be careless and followed closely behind. Li Yijie swung his sword at the black smoke. He then covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and jumped to the original Manor Lord's side. He looked at the black smoke with apprehension and was on full alert.
Only half of his sword was left. Strangely enough, he was able to cut through the black smoke as if it was solid. The power of his previous attack wasn't limited to this. He couldn't see Jiang Liechen's figure anymore. All he could see was a monster emitting smoke and rotting at an extremely fast speed. His appearance couldn't be recognized. His body was also sizzling and gradually turning into white bones.
Li Yijie's Sword Qi happened to cut the monster in half. The volcano shook violently, almost flipping the skeleton over and causing it to fall into the burning volcano. At this time, the lava was boiling violently and the sound was earth-shattering. It completely overshadowed the "plop" sound of the falling skeleton.
Nangong Xue thought about the scene just now and felt a lingering fear. Even though Jiang Jianchen had committed all sorts of evil and deserved this fate, but when she saw him die so tragically, she couldn't help but sympathize with him and feel pity for him.
She knew that if he fell into the lava, there would be nothing left of him. Moreover, he had already been corroded by Duan Qing Shang and lost his human form. Still, she gathered her courage and wanted to go to the mouth of the valley to see what was going on. Before she could take a step, Li Yijie grabbed her arm and called out, "Xueer, do you want to die? The volcano is about to erupt. Don't pay attention to him right now. Quickly go down the mountain! "
Nangong Xue's mind was in a daze. She was dragged along by him and ran. When they went up the mountain, it seemed like the distance was very short. But when they were really anxious to go down, they felt that the road was so long that they would never reach the end. This group of people all had injuries on their bodies. They stumbled as they ran along the swaying volcano. Every time someone accidentally tripped, someone would help them up and they would run down the mountain again.
Although the seven of them had relatives and friends, they weren't very close to each other in the grand scheme of things. However, after joining hands in this battle and defeating an unimaginably strong enemy side by side, a kind of deep friendship was born between them, as if they had gone through thick and thin together.
They considered each other their closest friends. As the saying goes, friends who can share victory together cannot be considered the most sincere, but friends who can face death together can be considered life and death friends. Their team had already become one, and they could no longer leave anyone else behind.
The four Manor Masters had always been used to being alone. This was the first time they felt this kind of warmth; they were not used to it. At the moment of life and death, they didn't think about it. When they reached the foot of the mountain and escaped the disaster, the strange awkwardness suddenly surged up.
The moment they reached the foot of the mountain due to the huge impact of the magma pouring down, they were hit by a landslide and were forced to roll and crawl down the mountain. It was the first time they had encountered the wrath of nature. They truly felt the boundless power contained in the world. When people were in the middle of it, no matter how earth-shattering it seemed to them, in the eyes of the creator, they were like ants struggling. They were so lowly that they were not even worth mentioning. This analogy could not be more appropriate.
If people wanted to fight against the heavens, wouldn't it be like ants wriggling under a person's finger and swearing to overturn a person? No matter how hard it tried, in the eyes of others, it was ridiculous. No one would have any objections when they were watching. Why couldn't they see it clearly when they were fighting against the heavens themselves? This was something that could be seen. As for the torrent of fate, it was already destined in the wilderness. How could it not drown people completely without them noticing?
When they finally reached flat ground, the seven of them collapsed on the ground and gasped for breath. Their bones were broken into pieces. Their strength was exhausted, and they were unprecedentedly tired. They wanted nothing more than to lie down on their backs and stop thinking about anything. For the first time, they realized how blissful it was to be able to sleep soundly on a hard wooden bed or lie in the wilderness and look up at the sky. As long as they could spread their limbs and relax as much as possible, it would be good no matter what.
When their eyes met, they could always see a gentle smile on the other party's blood-stained face. Similarly, they could also see themselves in the other party's eyes, in ragged clothes and in a sorry state. However, in this situation, they only had the heart to help each other. They no longer discriminated against or made fun of each other.
The bloody battle just now was like a nightmare. At this moment, some people still found it hard to believe. Did they really have such amazing strength to defeat the Seven Evil Spirits? It was one thing to think about defeating him every day, but this wish was really too difficult. Therefore, when it came true, it made them lose the courage to accept it.
Yuan Yi staggered forward and helped the original Manor Lord up. He said, "Father, you already know that when I went to see you and Brother Li, I had already regained my consciousness. But at that time, the Devil Sect disciples were constantly monitoring me … Ha, speaking of which, the Seven Evil Spirits still didn't have full confidence in his voodoo technique. They used me, but they didn't dare to completely trust me … Cough, cough, due to the situation, I couldn't immediately recognize you. In order to gain people's trust, I also said a lot of disgraceful things. Please forgive me, father … Brother Li, I'm really sorry for hurting you. In order to let the spies see clearly, I had to let you suffer some physical pain. You won't blame me, right? "
The original Manor Lord lifted his sleeve and wiped the blood on his face. He sighed and said, "Yi 'er, father won't blame you. I know that you endured all this humiliation in order to give him an unexpected blow at the last moment. Sometimes, in order to achieve great things, you have to make sacrifices. If it's for heaven's justice, even if you kill me to please him, I won't have any complaints. Now that my son is back by my side, I'm already satisfied … Speaking of which, your performance was really wonderful. Even father, who has lived with you for more than twenty years, couldn't see that … you were actually acting … "
Yuan Yi said bitterly, "I've made father worry. I'm unfilial." The original Manor Lord said, "No, father just doesn't want you to lose your nature under someone's control and do things that you don't want to do … If you wake up and find out that you've created a bastard who killed his own father and friends, it's better to kill you before you regain your consciousness …"
Li Yijie also forced a smile and patted Yuan Yi's shoulder. He said, "You didn't do anything wrong. If even Uncle Yuan and I could easily see that you were acting, how could you fool the spies? But speaking of which, appearances can be faked, but your martial arts can't be faked. How did you improve so much in just a few days? I originally thought that after many years of practice, I would have made some progress. Who would have thought that in front of you, I'm not your opponent at all? "
Yuan Yi said, "After the Seven Evil Spirits turned me into a puppet, they locked me in a secret room. The room was filled with diagrams of martial arts, as well as the mental cultivation method of the Seven Evil Spirits. I practiced in the room all day long, and finally my martial arts improved greatly. Only the Great Demonic Art … he didn't take the initiative to teach me. Even though I saw the cultivation method, I didn't want to touch that kind of evil technique that harms others and harms myself. "
