The sky was just bright, and the faint sunlight seemed to be frozen in the clouds, making the mountain stone path hidden by the trees even darker. A drop of morning dew swayed and fell, shattering on the blue stone steps.
Pair after pair of boots rattled across the long and winding mountain road, and the owners of the boots entered the long-standing sect hidden deep in the mountains. Under the guidance of several young disciples, they visited the octogenarian sect leader one by one.
Then they sat in the courtyard, drank fragrant tea from the mountain spring, and ate candied fruits, waiting for the luncheon to begin.
Xu Guanhai, the leader of Wuliang Sect, has few hairs left, and his pure white beard hangs down to his chest. His body is thin but not stooped at all. His waist is very straight, and his gray-brown robe is held up straight. He is very energetic, and his eyes are wide open.
When I look at the visiting guests, there is always a light in them.
The hundreds of martial arts people in the courtyard looked sad, but they were still talking and laughing among themselves.
"Looking at the current Qingzhou Wulin, I am afraid that no one is older than Sect Master Xu. Only Sect Master Xu has such magnanimity. While others are fearfully facing the crisis of the Nine Evil Island, he still dares to celebrate the seventy-eighth
Birthday."
"Speaking of which, is Sect Master Xu's birthday really today? Although we are not far from Wuliang Sect, this is the first time in decades that I have come to attend Sect Master Xu's birthday party!"
"Sect Master Xu has always kept a low profile and secluded himself from the world. He only teaches his disciples within the sect. Most of his disciples make a living by running escorts and doing business in the world, and seldom do anything extravagant. It is probably because they are seeing the situation on Jiu Sha Island getting worse and want to take advantage of Jiu Sha Island.
I haven’t come to Wuliang Sect yet, so I’ll celebrate my last birthday first so as not to leave any regrets.”
"Hehe, if I can live to be as old as Sect Master Xu, I will be satisfied!"
"Forget it, we martial arts practitioners are strong when we are young. Once we get old and suffer from illness, our lives will be more uncomfortable than ordinary people. It is better to enjoy it while we are young, so as not to think about it when we are about to die.
After experiencing the prosperity of the world, I feel powerless and regretful."
Some of the guests were familiar with each other, and some were not acquainted with each other. They were clustered together and chatting about their own things. Although there were many people, it didn't seem too noisy.
When it was time for the luncheon, everyone was sitting at various tables. The disciples of Wuliang Sect presented plates of delicacies and jars of fine wine. Xu Guanhai, the longevity star, raised his glass to thank everyone, and everyone also sent various birthday wishes.
Suddenly, two figures rushed down from the roof, both in black clothes and black hats, with black cloth covering their faces, holding weapons in their hands, and attacked Xu Guanhai.
"Who?"
"Nine Evil Island Killer!"
"It's for Master Xu!"
The guests all hid in panic, fearing that they would be accidentally injured by the killer. No one expected that the killer would attack openly in front of so many people. The fierce power of Jiusha Island has been deeply engraved in the minds of Qingzhou martial arts people, who came to celebrate their birthdays.
Most of the guests are just members of a small sect. Even if some people have the courage to stop the killer, they don't have the ability to stop the killer.
Xu Guanhai calmed down, pulled out a long sword with cold light from his cane, and faced the two killers: "The people from Jiusha Island are finally here!"
Wow!
Click!
In the blink of an eye, Xu Guanhai had fought the two killers with a long sword for several rounds. The swords used by the killers were fierce and the blades were wrapped with swords. It was obvious that he was at least a master who had reached the fifth level of internal strength. Even though Xu Guanhai was proficient in swordsmanship.
Lao Cheng is also in danger at this time, his clothes have been chopped into several pieces, and it seems that he will fall under the knife of the killers at any time.
At this moment, two more figures suddenly rushed out from among the guests, each holding a knife and going to help Xu Guanhai. The guests applauded at first, and then they only thought about how there were two people who were willing to die. Then they saw that the two people were actually martial arts.
Extraordinary, the two killers were defeated steadily by the direct killing, causing the battle situation to completely reverse in one fell swoop.
"Senior Xu, leader of the Red Alliance, grab the shorter one, attack him from the bottom, and break his legs and feet!"
Yu Saihong shouted to Hong Chen.
The two of them came to Wuliang Sect overnight, and they found the killer. As soon as they fought, Yu Saihong saw that one of the two killers was shorter and one had lower martial arts, so he planned to concentrate the strength of the three to cripple one of them.
In this way, at least one Jiusha Island killer can be caught.
Hong Chen took advantage of the collision of the blades and used his internal strength to use the knife-shaking technique in "Hidden Blade". He was suddenly shaken, causing the short killer's jaw to crack and his arms to go numb. The polished steel knife came out from his hand.
"Get him!"
Yu Saihong stopped another killer and allowed Xu Guanhai and Hong Chen to completely capture the short killer who had lost his weapon.
But at this moment, another figure rushed down from the roof.
The same black robe covers the body, and the same black cloth covers the face, but the weapon in this man's hand is a sword, and he holds the sword with his left hand.
The killer with a sword fell from the sky, and the sharp sword pointed directly at the heart of Xu Guanhai, who was facing away from him. Yu Saihong, who glanced at him, shouted "Senior Xu, be careful". At the same time, he made a mistake, bypassed the opponent in front of him, and headed towards the third
The three killers greeted each other with knives.
However, Hong Chen heard a sense of crisis from the sound the third killer made when he flew into the air, and hurriedly said: "Be careful!" At the same time, he swung the blade and slashed out a sword energy. He wanted to use this sword energy to stop him first.
The figure of the third killer.
However, the third killer waved his right hand again in mid-air, and stretched out a short knife from his wide sleeves. He also slashed out a sword energy, and Hong Chen's sword energy collided with each other, and his body fell from the broken sword.
As the air passed through him, the direction of the long sword in his left hand did not change at all.
Bang!
Poof!
Both sounds were extremely short, and the guests present could not see clearly what happened.
They only saw the result - a long sword penetrated Yu Saihong's chest, and half a foot came out from his back. However, the sword that Yu Saihong blocked in front of him lost its blade at some point, leaving only
A hilt.
"Yu Daxia!"
Hong Chen's eyes were about to burst, and he swung his sword to attack the third killer. The third killer shook his sword and cut off half of Yu Saihong's body. The sword edge hit Hong Chen's sword, and by the collision,
The force rose into the air again. Each of the two killers grabbed one of the third killer's feet and jumped three feet into the air with him. Then they leaped into the air and rushed down the mountain.
Hong Chen immediately chased the three of them, but the three were extremely agile in Qinggong and entered the complicated mountain forest. Those who hid always took more initiative than those who caught them. Even if Hong Chen tried his best, he chased them three or four miles away.
, their figures disappeared from sight. Even if they followed the smell of blood that filled the air and searched for them, there was no trace of them after they arrived at a stream.
Hong Chen sighed for his carelessness. When he and Yu Saihong saw the two killers appearing, they thought that the wait-and-see strategy was successful and showed up to take action. However, they did not expect that there was a third killer on Jiusha Island, and he also had a sword to kill.
Yu Saihong's strength. As a result, the killer of Jiusha Island disappeared without a trace, and Yu Saihong's life was lost in vain.
"I think I've seen that person's swordsmanship before..."
When Hong Chen recalled the sword thrown by the third killer, he always had a feeling of déjà vu. It was precisely because he felt the crisis in that sword that he reminded Yu Saihong to be careful and use his sword energy to help, but unfortunately he still didn't.
Saved Yu Saihong's life.
Now that the trace of the killer has been lost, Hong Chen had no choice but to walk quickly in the direction of Wuliang Sect. He kept thinking about the situation on the way. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through his mind. Hong Chen stopped, his body trembled, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
