There are bandits in Zhongshan

Zhuoguang Mountain soars into the sky, it is the highest mountain range in the north, the top of the mountain is hidden in the blizzard and snow all year round, like a sword piercing into the sky.The mountains in Shuoyuan are all covered with ice and snow, and Mount Zhuoguang is no exception. The top of the mountain stretches for miles, covered with snow, except for a huge dark spot in the middle.

At first glance, it looks like a hole has been poked in a flawless white cloth.It was actually a depression, bottomless, and only a glimpse of a blazing fire could be glimpsed in it.Zhuoguang Mountain is extremely high, and the snowstorm on the top of the mountain is far better than other places in Shuoyuan. Even the monks of Dongxu can hardly break through the barrier transformed by the wind and snow on the top of the mountain. Therefore, for thousands of years, no one has ever overlooked the whole picture of Zhuoguang Mountain, so naturally they cannot find it. Which is different.

The severe cold on the mountain was unbearable, but scorching heat waves emerged from the cave. Whenever ice and snow floated into the cave, it would turn into water vapor in an instant.And in that cave, the heat became hotter as it went down. At the lowest point, there was a sea of ​​fire, magma churned, and fire snakes sprang out from time to time, threatening to swallow everything.

When the candle dragon died, the sky fire it held fell to the north of Shuoyuan, and the hundreds of miles of defensive land were melted by it, forming this sea of ​​flames.

The surface of the sea of ​​fire undulates and surges into a catastrophic fire, but the deepest part of it is the breath of the candle dragon, so even the most profound monks in the world, if they plunge into it, they will immediately disappear.

In the distant past, the ferocious god Chongxiao and the heavenly emperor Haotian successively drew fire from the sky to cast swords here. Now, overlapping formations hang above the sea of ​​fire to form a huge formation, which is similar to the gathering spirit formation, except that it is gathered together. It is not spiritual power, but the raging flames below. The fire light melts into the formation, flows along the spirit pattern, and finally gathers in the center. This is the fire beam formation of the Huozheng clan. The fire is used to refine weapons.

On the cliffs in all directions, there are countless spiritual stones and red gold piled up. They are constantly drawn by spells and fly into the formation. As soon as they come into contact with the fire light, they merge into it and become part of the spiritual formation. It was hundreds of feet high, like a hill, its surface was covered by fire, and it was impossible to see what it looked like.

On the high platform by the sea of ​​fire, every craftsman of the Huozheng clan maintained the magic circle under the supervision of the monks. Since the group of monks invaded Zhuoguang Mountain, dozens of people have been thrown into the fire. Those craftsmen are good at refining weapons , but didn't know how to fight, and was forced to make a spiritual contract, so he couldn't resist.

They no longer remember how long such days have passed, and how long they will continue. At the beginning, some people rose up to resist, but now those bloody spirits have long been worn away, and they can only live in a daze day after day.

It's just that there seems to be a change in the outside world recently. A large number of monks have gone out. Even Fairy Yuyuan, who has been in the Shuhuo Formation for more than [-] years, has left Zhuoguang Mountain. look forward to.

Seeing that the latest batch of spirit stones were exhausted, the monk in charge of dispatching went to the main hall where the supplies were stored. Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the lingering sound continued. The whole mountain shook a few times, but it was the result of sealing the sword furnace. The boundary was shattered, and the boulders on both sides of the passage crashed down. Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a figure rushed in like an arrow.

The next moment, the craftsmen only felt the sword energy surging, their eyes blurred, and then saw that hundreds of magic circles were all destroyed, and no one was spared.

Those people couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and after a while, they saw a tall, one-armed woman on the Zhengdong high platform. The intact hand was a crimson long sword surrounded by blood mist.

Hearing the noise, the high priest Huozheng rushed to the sword furnace, and when he saw the woman, he was startled and angrily shouted: "Liu Hanyan!"

Afterwards, the garrison monks rushed over one after another, all holding magic weapons, waiting for an order, and they were about to rush at Liu Hanyan.However, most of the monks were sent to look for Changli's whereabouts, and some were sent to do other things ordered by Yuyuan. At this time, there were only three monks guarding Zhuoguang Mountain. Jian, he didn't dare to step forward easily for a while.

Liu Hanyan stared at the thing in the center of the beam of fire, and suddenly, the Chongxiao Sword continued to emit soft sounds, she tilted her head, as if she was listening to something, and then said coldly: "Do you know that this is against the sky?" And for."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone said loudly: "How do you know this is against the sky?"

The man was dressed in plain clothes, and it was Ye Lianxi. After he finished speaking, he sacrificed the magic weapon, and at a few o'clock, Liu Guang rushed towards Liu Hanyan with a very sharp breath.The monks who were watching saw that someone was taking the lead, and immediately followed up. In just a moment, Liu Hanyan was surrounded by murderous aura.

But they saw the figure on the high platform flickering, and only heard a slight puffing sound, and then the craftsmen saw one of the monks staring down at his chest with wide-eyed eyes, where a red line split his body in two, the next moment, he It turned into dust without a sound.

And those magical weapons that surrounded Liu Hanyan were also torn apart, and the place that was originally occupied by the surging spiritual power suddenly became empty.

Liu Hanyan destroyed those magical artifacts and killed one person with only one sword strike.

With the power of that sword, she jumped down from the high platform, avoiding the attacks of the other monks, and landed where the original magic circle was. Seeing that the magic circle was still flickering, she tapped the tip of her sword lightly, She swung the magic circle away completely, and heard a voice behind her. She glanced back and saw a craftsman looking at her in horror, his face was pale and his body was trembling.

When Liu Hanyan seized the sword back then, she killed many members of the Huozheng clan. Seeing her approaching with the sword, those craftsmen were terrified, and kept saying, "Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

Liu Hanyan looked back at the monk who was hesitant under her blow, and said expressionlessly, "Then you don't leave yet."

The craftsman was startled, then knelt down suddenly and said, "Our spiritual deed is in the hands of the high priest, we cannot escape."

Hearing this, Liu Hanyan's eyes swept away and settled on the high priest. At this time, the Chongxiao Sword shook, and the sound became sharper. deep.

The high priest realized that something was wrong, so he took the road and ran away. He has profound knowledge and has lived in this hot place for thousands of years. After a few words of the formula, there was a flash of blood, and Liu Hanyan was already standing behind him, with a light twitch, he pulled out the Chongxiao Sword from his body, and the body swayed and fell down, but he hadn't When it fell to the ground, it turned into ashes.

Afterwards, Liu Hanyan thrust the Chongxiao Sword into the ground, and half of the sword fell into the ground, chanting words in his mouth. The blood in the Chongxiao Sword was continuously poured into the ground under the urging of the spell, and soon, the spirit array floated up from the craftsmen's feet , flickered, then a burst of white light appeared, and when the light dissipated, the people in the formation also disappeared.

She was accepted as a disciple by Yulong Peak. Although she was obsessed with swordsmanship and had no intention of practicing other things, she was so impressed that she didn't really know it at all. Those spiritual formations are the most obvious transfer formations. The spiritual power in Xiaojian was unfathomable, she only used a little, and passed all those craftsmen away.

When Ye Lianxi saw that she had killed two people and rescued the craftsmen, her expression darkened immediately, and she shouted: "You dare to destroy Fairy Yuyuan's plan!" Coming from all directions, there were layers of blue light shining in it, and all the flying sand and rocks were swept into the cloud for a while, and were crushed to powder.Seeing this, several other monks knew that he was determined to make an ultimate move, and immediately stepped forward to protect the dharma.

Liu Hanyan pulled out the Chongxiao Sword, her toes sank into the clouds, and the deeper she went, the more turbulent her spiritual power would be, and those with weaker cultivation would be smashed to pieces in a few moments. Along the way, blood energy entangled those dark clouds, dimming the spiritual power within them, and she rushed to Ye Lianxi at lightning speed, turned her wrist, and slashed her head with a sword.

Seeing that a move that had assembled her entire life was easily defeated, Ye Lianxi's face turned ashen immediately, and it was too late to dodge it when the sword light rose.

At this time, another wave of spiritual power suddenly surged, like water, washed away the shadow in the sword furnace, and also pushed the sword in Liu Hanyan's hand to the side. When she turned around, the sword almost touched her A streamer from the vest stood still on the high platform in the east again, the point of the sword touched the ground, his expression was indifferent, he didn't look like he had walked through the dead.

The woman in Tsing Yi showed her figure, and with a flick of her sleeves, Ye Lianxi and the others retreated to the west cliff. It was Fairy Yuyuan who came back after noticing the strange movement in Zhuoguang Mountain.

"Liu Hanyan, what do you want to do?" She could tell what happened here just by looking around, not only the craftsmen in the sword furnace, but also the Huozheng people who were imprisoned elsewhere. Why, but she didn't understand, "Back then you were killing them in Zhuoguang Mountain, but today you rescued them. Why?"

Liu Hanyan was silent for a moment, and then said: "That moment, this moment."

She didn't explain much, and Fairy Yuyuan didn't want to pursue it. Her attention was all on the sword in Liu Hanyan's hand. Hand over the Chongxiao Sword."

The Chongxiao Sword, which she had spent so much time looking for, threw herself into a trap at this time, so she couldn't be overjoyed.

"Not necessarily." Liu Hanyan said coldly, after finishing speaking, she suddenly held the sword backhand and inserted it into her heart.

Yu Yuan and the others were all startled when they saw this, there were countless innocent souls attached to the Chong Xiao Sword, and their hearts were hurt by it, even if their Taoism was as profound as hers, they would probably die.

Liu Hanyan's face remained normal, and she slowly pulled out the sword. She was pierced through the veins of the heart, but not a single drop of blood spattered out.When the tip of the sword left, a line of blood came out from her chest, and the rest of the people understood that all her blood flowed into the sword, and the sword was full of blood, and the crimson lines became brighter, and suddenly a dark color came out of it, It fell into Liu Hanyan's heart.

Afterwards, Yu Yuan listened to her slowly saying: "You and the others are trying to defy the heavens, you are really overconfident." The voice was completely different from before, her body trembled, and she only felt the boundless power The pressure surged, making people involuntarily terrified.

And Liu Hanyan's eyes had turned purple.

"Are you leaving again?" Chang Li opened his eyes and asked as he looked at the receding figure.

Zhong Mingzhu stopped and didn't look back, just sighed softly: "Yes, I can't wait to die here."

She only stayed for one night and was about to leave in a hurry, without even a word of instructions, Chang Li lowered his eyes to hide the fatigue in his eyes, caught a glimpse of the jade certificate on his waist, and suddenly said: "I'll go with you."

"No." Zhong Mingzhu said decisively, "They are all here for you."

Chang Li said softly, "But they won't hurt me."

Zhong Mingzhu's eyes darkened, and he finally turned around, his gaze casually swept over the jade certificate from his waist, and said, "How do you know they won't hurt you?"

"Those two people, Xiao Ning and Wei Di, I was restrained by you because of your scruples." Chang Li raised his eyes and looked at her, his brows were slightly frowned, revealing a bit of his usual stubbornness, but his voice was cold , mixed with a trace of almost invisible emotion, "If I help you, it will be much better than you alone."

Zhong Mingzhu frowned and said, "No need, you can just wait here." After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave without even a single word of explanation.

"I'm worried that Master and Junior Martial Uncle are in danger." Chang Li pursed his lips and turned around.

But Zhong Mingzhu only smiled lightly, without turning her head, said: "At this juncture, I can't take care of them anymore." Before she finished speaking, she drew a formula at the entrance of the cave where she came in, passed through the enchantment, walked out.

"I can't care about..." Changli's tone was light, but there seemed to be something surging in her eyes. After a long time, she slowly stroked the jade certificate on her waist, took a deep breath, showing a trace of determination, and then sleeved her sleeves. With a flick, a magic talisman fluttered into her palm.

She stole it from Zhong Mingzhu's storage ring.

Before entering the cave, Zhong Mingzhu set up a teleportation array outside so that she could escape immediately in a crisis. After she passed through the waterway, she quietly told Changli about it, but later she made a deal with Li Yang and stayed behind. After coming down and using this place as a hiding place, the teleportation array will naturally be useless.

She set up a solid barrier, and even Chang Li didn't know how to get out, but kept it secret, forgetting that there was a teleportation array outside.

Probably because there are too many things to think about, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions.

Chang Li took a deep breath, crushed the talisman, and saw white light gushing out, and the next moment she appeared by the lake.She glanced at the lake water, a bit of hesitation appeared on her face again, and then she remembered the disapproval in Zhong Mingzhu's words, and she felt a sharp pain in her heart. She closed her eyes, forced herself to calm down, and then distracted herself. After confirming that no one was nearby, it turned into a white light and rushed out.

After leaving Tianyu Mountain, she headed westward. Every time she walked a certain distance, she had to concentrate on sensing the spiritual power of the four directions, making sure that there was no monk's breath on the way ahead, and no one was following her behind, before continuing to move forward.Once he found the whereabouts of the monks, he hid. When Zhong Mingzhu was healing in front of the dragon's blood grass, he taught her some spells that came in handy at critical times, including the spell of concealing breath. Zhong Mingzhu was proficient in array spells , This concealment technique is much better than other monks. Changli followed suit, so she would not be noticed when she met a monk whose cultivation level was higher than hers.

This stop and go, detours from time to time, after about seven days, when she reached the foot of Zhuoguang Mountain, she no longer went west, but chose a road to go up the mountain.I don't know if it was luck, or because Yu Yuan's subordinates were caught up in other things, there were no monks guarding them along the way, and when they passed Shanyang, she saw a familiar black robe from a distance.Suddenly, a big stone fell to her heart. She used to be straight and direct, and she didn't know how to avoid the edge at all. It was only after spending a few days with Zhong Mingzhu that she learned a little, otherwise she didn't know how to survive.

Just as she was about to walk up to the Xuanpao, she suddenly felt something unusual behind her, she immediately drew her sword and turned around, only to see a ray of fire coming, which turned into a sharp blade and went straight to the center of her eyebrows, she immediately chopped it down, and the fire suffered When she swung the sword, it split into two immediately, but the aura in the process became even fiercer. A ball wrapped around her wrist, and she felt a numbness in her wrist, and the sword in her hand almost fell out.The other group continued to attack her gate of life, as if they wanted to kill her.

Sooner or later, the black robe flew towards him, and the cluster of flames was pushed away with a sword.

At this moment, Chang Li suddenly heard a familiar laugh.

A little cool, with a hint of mockery.It seems that everything in the world is a pawn played by him in the palm of his hand.

Immediately afterwards, she saw the spirit pattern shining, making the snow all over the mountain pale, and the flames swept over, enveloping her and the man in the black robe.

She only felt a flash in front of her eyes, and when her sight regained clarity, she found that she was no longer in the same place, but in a hidden cave, surrounded by hundreds of spirit stones, and the light above was gradually dimming. spirit array.

The man in the black robe disappeared long ago, and there was still a little flame left on her clothes, with a very familiar aura, it was the fire that Zhong Mingzhu used to guide her and melted with blood essence.

- "She just wants to use you."

Several voices mixed together and flashed into her mind, but she repeated the same words repeatedly. She opened her eyes wide in bewilderment, the blood on her face faded away, and ran out without thinking.

As soon as she got out of the cave, she caught a glimpse of Zhuoguang Mountain towering into the sky, not far away, this time she didn't care about hiding her whereabouts, and went straight there. Not long after, there was the smell of monks fighting in front of her.She immediately held the sword in her hand, and flew past like a meteor chasing the moon.

As soon as she got close, she saw a smear of moonlight coming towards her. She thought it was the monks under Yu Yuan, but she swung her sword and was about to make a move, but found out that it was someone she knew.

The man was also waiting for it, but when he saw her, he exclaimed, then grabbed her arm and pulled her behind a boulder, and took out the magic weapon to wipe it, only to see the water mist rise up, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them were separated. The figures are all hidden.

Immediately afterwards, three cultivators of transforming spirits rushed over. Seeing that there was no one behind the boulder, they continued to chase without stopping.

After their figures disappeared behind the wind and snow, the man sighed softly, looked at Chang Li and said, "Why are you here, where is Zhong Mingzhu?"

The voice is like admiration and complaint, like a ballad, it is Ruoye.
