Chapter 54 Confronting the Sovereign
This sword was as fast as the wind and as powerful as thunder. It seemed simple, but in Lin Xiao's eyes, the blue sword was carrying the power of heaven and earth. In his world, the only thing left in his world was the approaching sword edge.
"You can't hide, you can't stop!" Lin Xiao immediately made a judgment. Faced with Wu Yue's simple and casual sword, he had no way to resist.
"Are you going to die here?"
Lin Xiao roared in his heart, he was not willing to die like this, but no matter how much unwillingness and anger he had, it would be of no use in the face of the absolute gap in strength.
Although the blue long sword has not yet stabbed Lin Xiao, the mighty power of heaven and earth contained in this sword has completely suppressed him, making him unable to even move a finger, let alone resist.
He could only watch the sword tip rapidly enlarge in his field of vision, waiting for the sword to pierce his chest and take away his life.
But at this critical moment, a cyan heavy sword fell from the sky. It landed in front of Lin Xiao at the last moment and blocked Wu Yue's killing sword.
Lin Xiao recognized at a glance that the sword that saved his life was Ning Yu's Qingxuan heavy sword.
Sure enough, Ning Yu's fat body immediately landed on the ground. When his feet stepped on the ground, the earth trembled clearly.
As soon as he stood firm, Ning Yu looked at Wu Yue with an angry look on his face, and asked: "Wu Yue, are you trying to kill someone?"
Seeing that it was Ning Yu, Wu Yue knew that he could not kill Lin Xiao today, so he took back his sword without any hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, wisps of sword energy fell down, and in the blink of an eye, nine figures landed in front of Ning Yu. It was actually the sect leader Gu Yunfei, the other seven peak masters, and Cao Qing.
When all the strongest members of the Juque Sword Sect were present, Lin Xiao immediately felt a great sense of oppression, as if the air was about to solidify, and even breathing became extremely difficult.
It wasn't until Ning Yu stood in front of him that the feeling of suffocation disappeared.
When everyone saw Zhou Tong's body that had changed beyond recognition, even these masters who were used to big scenes couldn't help but change their expressions.
Especially Gu Yunfei, a murderous look instantly appeared on his face.
When his eyes looked over, Lin Xiao suddenly felt a chill to his bones.
"So strong!" Lin Xiao exclaimed, this was the top master of Cangxuan Sea, and with just one look, he completely gave up the idea of fighting for his life.
I just don’t know how Dugu would evaluate the number one person in Cangxuan Sea in front of her if she were awake.
"Did you kill Zhou Tong?" Gu Yunfei asked coldly. Every word seemed to hit Lin Xiao's heart. Just five words caused blood to flow from Lin Xiao's mouth and nose.
"Sect Master, the matter has not been investigated clearly yet..." Ning Yu stood between Lin Xiao and Gu Yunfei, wanting to defend, but was interrupted by Gu Yunfei, "Ning Yu, you have no place to speak here."
After saying that, Gu Yunfei looked at Lin Xiao and said again: "I am asking you, did you kill Zhou Tong?"
Lin Xiaoqiang resisted the huge pressure and resolutely replied: "Of course not, the disciple has just arrived here. When the disciple came, she was already like this. Maybe she was surrounded and killed by blood wolves."
"How dare you fool me?" Gu Yunfei said angrily. Anyone could see the scars all over Zhou Tong's body. Which one was caused by the blood wolf?
Lin Xiao immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, but his waist remained straight.
"If you don't believe it, Sect Leader, you can ask Senior Brother Wu!"
Gu Yunfei looked at Wu Yue, who unexpectedly nodded. Although he didn't say anything, he admitted in disguise that what Lin Xiao said was true.
Even Ning Yu didn't expect that Wu Yue clearly wanted to kill Lin Xiao just now. How could he change his face in the blink of an eye?
Only Lin Xiao himself understood the reason. The reason why he asked Gu Yunfei to question Wu Yue was because he was sure that Wu Yue would testify for him.
Since Wu Yue covets his ninth-grade bloodline, he will definitely let him live well.
Lin Xiao looked at Wu Yue's eyes full of anger and laughed in his heart. He must be furious at the moment, but he couldn't get angry yet.
Gu Yunfei and several peak leaders actually knew what happened, but no one would tell the truth. After all, they were the ones who asked Cao Qing to shield Qixia Valley. If we really wanted to calculate it, they were the ones who plotted against Lin Xiao first.
Moreover, other disciples were also killed and injured, but none of them showed up. As soon as Zhou Tong died, everyone came here to embarrass a junior. If other disciples came to see this scene, it would be difficult to explain.
Could it be that others knew that these big figures in the Divine Sea Realm would actually plot against a junior who had not yet officially started?
"The trial continues." Gu Yunfei did not hide his anger and walked away, but before leaving, he gave Cao Qing a hard look.
Cao Qing suddenly broke into cold sweat on his forehead. He knew that if this matter was not handled well, he would have no place in the Juque Sword Sect.
As soon as Gu Yunfei left, everyone also left one after another. They were all the top masters in Cangxuan Sea. They naturally sensed that the other disciples participating in the trial were already very close and would appear here soon.
If he doesn't leave now, if he is seen by other ordinary disciples, there will definitely be a lot of rumors.
But no one expected that this trial would take such a big turn. Zhou Tong, the disciple who had been appointed by the sect leader as a closed disciple, would actually die at the hands of an unknown Lin Xiao.
But since he is dead, everyone naturally has to consider the next things. For example, Gu Yunfei has promised to give out five hundred years of demon elixir as the first place reward.
It was clearly clear that Zhou Tong would get the reward, but now it's really unclear who it will go to.
That Lin Xiao actually had the ability to kill Zhou Tong was truly a dark horse, but everyone knew very well that it would be difficult for Lin Xiao to complete the trial alive.
Although he killed Zhou Tong, Cao Qing had a hundred ways to kill him in Qixia Valley.
With Lin Xiao's mere seventh-grade bloodline talent, how could Gu Yunfei give him the five-hundred-year demon pill? Wouldn't that be a waste of natural resources?
The one who is in the best mood at this time is probably Wang Chong. Without Zhou Tong, if Lin Xiao dies again, the 500-year-old demon pill will be in the possession of his son Wang Lin.
Before Wu Yue left, he took a deep look at Lin Xiao. His eyes seemed to be telling Lin Xiao: "You can't run away."
Then, he hugged Ning Yu and left with his sword.
Ning Yu looked at Lin Xiao and said nothing for a long time, as if he was having a fierce ideological struggle.
It was Lin Xiao who said first: "Senior Ning, you saved this junior again, thank you very much."
Ning Yu came back to his senses and seemed to have made a decision. He patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder and said: "As long as you can complete the trial alive, I, Ning Yu, will protect you even if I give up all my belongings."
After saying that, the Qingxuan heavy sword turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
Lin Xiao looked at the direction Ning Yu left and murmured to himself: "I don't have any merits, but I have clear grudges. You saved me twice. No matter what kind of desperate situation the Seventh Peak faces, I will definitely help you."
At the same time, Cao Qing, who was supposed to leave, appeared in an inaccessible place in the valley. In front of him was a dark cave with a faint blue light glowing at the entrance, and it was obviously surrounded by many barriers.
Suddenly, two scarlet rays of light lit up in the darkness, and a deep roar came out.
Cao Qing said at the entrance of the cave: "I know you can understand. If you kill him, I promise to let you go."
After speaking, Cao Qing waved his hand, and the aura in front of him transformed into Lin Xiao's appearance.
Soon, a low roar came from the cave, like the ancient giant beast deep in the Nine Netherworld.
