The person who came was none other than Huang Yue, followed by two other senior brothers. When they saw the tragic situation in the cave, they were all shocked for a moment.
Huang Yue reacted first and asked: Zhan Chen, can you tell me what's going on?
Zhan Chen pretended to be sad and said: Senior brother, senior brother Wang Jie and I received a message from the miners that a monster appeared in the tunnel, so we rushed here and started a fierce fight with the beast.
Sorry, my cultivation level is low and I can't help much. Instead, I encountered danger. Fortunately, Senior Brother Wang Jie sacrificed his life to save me and I was able to save my life. However, Senior Brother Wang also suffered at the hands of that evil beast because of me.
When I saw Senior Brother Wang being killed, I stood up to resist and broke through at the critical moment. Then I turned the tide of the battle in one fell swoop, killed this guy, and avenged Senior Brother Wang.
Huang Yue came to Wang Jie's body and took a closer look. At this time, his body had been bitten to pieces by sharp-toothed badgers, and there was nothing else that could be seen at all. No matter how suspicious it was, there was no way.
Verify.
He had no choice but to turn his head and stare deeply at Zhan Chen, which made the latter's heart beat fast. It's no wonder that he discovered something. Things were so strange. Shang Manfu's death was also related to him. It was inevitable that others would not get up.
suspicion.
After a good opportunity, I heard Huang Yue say: Junior Brother Zhan Chen, you don't have to be too sad. Junior Brother Wang Jie's contribution to the mine is obvious to all. I believe that the sect will compensate his family well to comfort his spirit in heaven.
Zhan Chen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded along with him.
In this way, Wang Jie's death passed away like a storm. Within a few days, Wang Jie's replacement quickly arrived at the post, and the peace of the past returned to the Huangyan Gang Mine.
Zhan Chen also lived a life of duty and practice as before. More than a month passed in this way, and he finally stabilized his cultivation level at the middle level of martial arts master. The Jinsha sword technique also made great progress.
At this time, the sword light emitted also increased from less than one meter to more than one meter. Although the increase is not much, in a battle, this distance may determine the outcome.
But there was always a shadow lingering in his heart, that is, besides Hong Zhigang, who was the third person?
The boundary of Huangyan Gang is not peaceful, especially at night, when all work in the tunnels is stopped for rest, and the focus of protection is concentrated on the warehouse.
Because all the mined Yuan stones are not put into Pei Yanxue's pocket, but will be registered and stored in a special warehouse. Then every once in a while, the sect will send special personnel to recover these Yuan stones. The supervision is
The top and bottom are integrated, and Zongnai pays special attention to details.
This mechanism also gave the Huanggang Sect an opportunity to take advantage of it to a certain extent. They would send people to raid Huangyanggang's warehouse almost every month, hoping to intercept the Yuan Stone that the Golden Elephant Sect had worked so hard to mine.
Of course, this kind of attack is carried out secretly on a small scale. If it is too blatant, the two sects will not be able to get along with each other, and may even trigger a large-scale sectarian war. This is a result that no one wants to see, and it is also one of the five sects.
This is something that the Lanfeng Sect, a medium-sized sect in the world, cannot tolerate.
However, even small-scale attacks were accompanied by flashes of swords and blood. Every time, two disciples of the sect were killed or injured, but both sides seemed to have acquiesced to this cruel competition method and would not pursue it further.
That night, Zhan Chen was patrolling in the mountains as usual, when he suddenly saw a fireworks signal on the other side of the mountain.
This was an enemy attack. He hurried back, but on the way he saw two figures confronting each other on the top of the mountain. One was very familiar to him, it was Pei Yanxue, and the other was dressed in black, with his head covered.
, can’t see the face.
Pei Yanxue sneered and said: Yang Xinlao, you also follow the example of the young people, hiding their heads and covering their faces. Don't you dare to see people with their true colors? Is this the way of your Huanggang sect?
Hahaha, Pei Yanxue, I will not fall into your scheme. No matter what you say, I will not take off my mask. Today we are both supporting roles, so let’s rest. Our disciples are the protagonists.
.
When Pei Yanxue saw that a group of people had broken in and went straight to the warehouse where the Yuan Stone was stored, she couldn't help but become anxious and wanted to stop them.
However, he saw the figure of the man in black flashing and standing in front of Pei Yanxue. He said with a smile: "Pei, don't panic, just give me a try."
"Humph, I will definitely call you Shao Layer Pei Yanxue today," he said, taking out a spear from the Qiankun bag and fighting with Yang Xin.
For a moment, sand and rocks flew, boulders shattered, and the figures of the two people flashed rapidly, which could not be caught with the naked eye. All that could be heard was the harsh whistling sound caused by the collision of weapons from time to time, and the collision with the true energy.
of explosions.
Zhan Chen looked at this scene and sighed in his heart: Wu Zun is so powerful. I'm afraid I can't even get close to them. Let's go down and help our brothers first.
Thinking of this, he quickly bypassed Pei Yanxue and Yang Xin and rushed down the mountain.
The scene at the foot of the mountain was also chaotic. All the Golden Elephant Sect disciples were fighting with their opponents. Huanggang Sect's night attack was obviously well-prepared, and its scale was simply different from the previous attacks.
Zhan Chen stood watching from above. He didn't know who to help for a moment. Suddenly, an exclamation came from the side: Zhan Chen, help me quickly.
Zhan Chen hurriedly followed the sound, only to find a woman whose swordsmanship was messed up. She made a false move, abandoned the enemy, and fled in his direction.
But a masked man behind her was chasing after her, shouting: Beauty, why don't you play with your brother? Let's fight a few more moves.
It was Yin Yanyan who Zhan Chen recognized immediately. This Yin Yanyan was quite beautiful and had the level of an intermediate martial artist. She had always had a good relationship with him and often got close to her. Unfortunately, Zhan Chen was too focused on cultivation and did not
Didn't develop a relationship with her.
Looking at the enemy chasing her, he was only an intermediate martial artist. A gleam flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes: I am not afraid of any opponent in a fight of the same level.
So he took the initiative to greet him, stood between Yin Yanyan and the man, and said: Yin Yanyan, you go first, let me deal with the opponent.
Yin Yanyan seemed worried about whether Zhan Chen would like my help if her opponent was very strong. She did not listen to Zhan Chen and ran away first.
Seeing this, Zhan Chen smiled casually and said: Don't worry, it's not a big deal, just leave it to me.
Yin Yanyan nodded worriedly and said: Then be careful and just stay aside and watch the battle.
When the masked man saw that Zhan Chen dared to come in front of him to save the beauty, he couldn't help but get angry and cursed: Boy, you are too arrogant. You two joined forces. I am afraid of you, but you dare to fight with me alone.
If you fight alone, be careful I will destroy you.
Zhan Chen smiled contemptuously and said: You are pretty good at talking, but I don't know what you are like with your hands.
Boy, the masked man who suffered death couldn't bear it any longer. He raised his sword and struck at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen smiled coldly, stepped on Liuyunbu, and swayed slightly to avoid his attack.
The masked man felt that he was being tricked, and was furious for a moment, shouting: "Look at the thick soil sword's edge changed, and each move became calm and powerful. It seems clumsy and slow, but it can often strike from behind, and it is both offensive and defensive."
, for a time Zhan Chen’s attacks were all blocked by him.
A hint of approval flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, and he thought to himself: Unexpectedly, the earth attribute swordsmanship may seem clumsy, but it also has merits. If it were an ordinary person of the same level, he would inevitably be defeated, but when you meet me, I will be your nemesis.
He had basically tested out the masked man's method, so he no longer hesitated and shouted loudly: Look at the Zhaojinsha Sword Technique and stab the masked man's chest with the sword in his hand.
The masked man subconsciously wanted to use his shuriken to resist as before, but suddenly, a platinum sword light flashed on Zhan Chen's sword, and his sword was bounced away, and his force continued unabated, very fast
Running towards his heart, unstoppable
The man shouted in panic: No
However, the sword in Zhan Chen's hand would not stop. With a pop, it sank deeply into his chest. The masked man raised his head and looked at Zhan Chen in fear, as if he regretted being his enemy.
After killing the masked man with one sword, Zhan Chen's spirit immediately relaxed. However, at this moment, he felt a deep chill coming from behind him.
Eye of the Tao Zhan Chen turned his head and subconsciously activated his magical power, but what he saw was a desperate scene.
It was Yin Yanyan. She drew her sword and stabbed him in the back. The tip of the sword was only 3 inches away from his back.
What should he do? Zhan Chen's heart began to beat violently. Once he closed the Eye of the Tao, he might have seen the moment when the sword sank into his back.
He couldn't help but look at Yin Yanyan again. At this time, there was a triumphant smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of teasing, as if she was laughing at Zhan Chen for being played with by her. She was the third party.
people
Zhan Chen even felt the sweat on his forehead flowing, and felt an unprecedented fear in his heart: Am I really going to die?
