At the same time, several muffled sounds were heard one after another on the other side.
Immediately afterwards, four figures flew out from the terrifying storm one after another, and with a few bangs, they all fell to the side of the pit!
Whoa...
Lin Ruo'er, with a divine phoenix hanging on her head and flowing light on her feet, was like a god descending to earth at this moment, carrying a dragon scale sword, floating down, and instantly appeared above the heads of the four people, standing in the air, high and cold and arrogant.
people.
"Lie down, move, and die!"
Lin Ruoer glanced at the four of them coldly, raised her sword slightly, and shouted coldly.
The four people who were about to stand up suddenly froze in place when they heard this. You looked at me, I looked at you, but no one dared to make any move.
Lin Ruoer's strength, aloofness, and indifference had completely shocked them, and they could no longer resist at all.
Coupled with the fact that Gongsun Hongyu was lying next to him in the pit, vomiting blood, and his life or death was uncertain, they completely lost their last support.
The lords of the four great kingdoms all lowered their arrogant heads at this moment and admitted defeat!
Even Gongsun Hongyu, who cultivated in the illusion realm, was defeated.
What's the point if they continue to resist?
Gongsun Zhengning, in particular, clenched his fists tightly, his face full of reluctance, but his face was ashen.
Lost.
Not only did he lose, but his ancestors from the Gongsun royal family also lost!
Whoa...
Ye Wushuang also fell from the air at this moment. While playing with the green-tailed flute in his hand, he stepped to the edge of the pit.
But without even looking at the four of them, he looked directly at Gongsun Hongyu, who was lying around with his neck twisted, and said coldly: "You said that since you ran away before, you could just leave here, why are you still here?
Woolen cloth?"
"It's just a matter of staying. Why do you want to touch and kill my people?"
"Do you really think I can't kill you?"
"Forehead..."
As soon as he said these words, Gongsun Hongyu, who was lying in the pit, twisted his deformed neck slightly, raised his eyes with difficulty, and looked at Ye Wushuang, his blood-stained face full of fear.
He couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't understand how Ye Wushuang became so powerful after not seeing him for a moment; just a slap almost took away half of his life.
It seems that it is even more terrifying and powerful than when he fought with Xiang Liu before!
"Although I don't like you, it's far from the point where I have to kill you; but you killed Nangong Qian, but it touched my inner skin."
Ye Wushuang looked indifferent and said slowly: "So, today, you must die!"
"No...it's not me..."
As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Hongyu suddenly trembled, stiffened his neck, and spoke weakly.
"Not you?"
Ye Wushuang smiled, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and the green-tailed flute spinning on his fingertips suddenly stopped. He grabbed it in his hand, pointed at Gongsun Hongyu, and shouted: "Do you know what this is? Green-tailed flute, the name of the Nangong royal family.
Ancestor, Yinzu Nangong Yun’s natal magic weapon, the Nanhua Empire’s divine weapon to control the country.”
"This flute is as important as life to Nangong Qian. If I hadn't been killed by you, why would this flute fall into your hands?"
"I..."
"Okay, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, let's get on the road!"
Just as Gongsun Hongyu was about to speak, he was directly interrupted by Ye Wushuang. Then he shook his right hand and made a swishing sound, then waved it directly, preparing to attack.
"Ancestor!"
"senior!"
"Emperor!"
Seeing this scene, the four people beside the pit, Gongsun Zhengning, Sikong Yuanlong, You Hongyi, and Mu Pei, suddenly exclaimed and looked nervous.
Even Chi Tian and Shihua Shan who were not far away, as well as Gongmen Tianyu who was still watching, frowned slightly and trembled slightly.
Gongsun Hongyu is the biggest support for these people at present. If he is really dead, then the last hope in their hearts will be completely shattered!
"Wait a minute, little friend!"
At this moment, a soft drink suddenly sounded.
Tao Jingyuan, who was farthest from the crowd, suddenly became excited at this moment, and walked forward with his whole body trembling slightly. His eyes couldn't help but glance at Lin Ruo'er. He didn't look away until he came to Ye Wushuang and raised his hands to Ye Wushuang. Said: "Nangong Qian, it's really not him who killed him!"
"oh?"
Hearing this, Ye Wu paused with his hands down, turned to look at Tao Jingyuan, and frowned slightly.
Chu Yuntian had previously introduced him to this person's identity as the head of the Cangyun Empire branch of the Tengjian Sect. Logically speaking, he should have nothing to do with the Seven Great Kingdoms and Gongsun Hongyu.
At this moment, why did he suddenly stand up and stop Ye Wushuang from killing Gongsun Hongyu?
"I witnessed Nangong Gan's death with my own eyes; Gongsun Hongyu was in the formation at that time, and it was absolutely impossible to kill Nangong Gan."
Tao Jingyuan paused at this moment and explained: "I know that this person deserves to die, and I also know that I am eager for revenge, but I still ask you to think twice before taking action. Don't kill the wrong person or avenge the wrong person." !”
As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Zhengning, Sikong Yuanlong, Gongmen Tianyu, You Hongyi, Shihuashan, and Chitian all looked horrified, with a look of panic flashing in their eyes.
Although they don't want Gongsun Hongyu to die, they also don't want to die themselves!
"oh?"
Ye Wushuang raised his eyebrows at this moment, showing surprise again. He immediately turned around, faced Tao Jingyuan, and said with a smile: "Then tell me, who is the murderer of Nangong Gan?"
"We are the only ones here. No matter who the murderer is, they can't escape. There's no need to worry, little friend."
Tao Jingyuan suddenly gave up and said with a smile: "I still have a doubt here. I still need friends..."
At this point, Tao Jingyuan paused slightly, but his eyes moved away from Ye Wushuang and fell on Lin Ruo'er, and continued: "And this girl can answer it!"
"What's the matter?"
Ye Wushuang frowned even more tightly and became more curious.
When Tao Jingyuan heard this, he immediately smiled, nodded, and asked directly to Lin Ruo'er: "Excuse me, miss, did the sword technique you just used refer to the Soft Sword Technique?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Wushuang looked confused. Everyone present, including Lin Ruoer, Chu Yuntian, Gongsun Hongyu, Gongsun Zhengning, etc., were stunned for a moment, with doubts in their eyes and expressions of surprise.
Obviously, they didn't quite understand why Tao Jingyuan suddenly asked this!
Lin Ruoer frowned slightly, but did not answer. Instead, she turned to look at Ye Wushuang.
Ye Wushuang naturally understood, and without being polite, asked directly: "Do you know the Zhirou Sword Technique?"
"nature!"
Tao Jingyuan answered truthfully without any concealment.
Although Lin Ruo'er did not answer, her gaze towards Ye Wushuang was instantly caught by Tao Jingyuan, knowing that the young man in white in front of her was most likely Lin Ruo'er's master.
This point also coincides with his inference!
"To be honest, the Roujian Jue is one of the three original sword techniques of my master, the Unparalleled Sword Emperor."
Tao Jingyuan paused and further explained: "Nowadays, this swordsmanship belongs to the lineage of my Sword Emperor and is not passed on to Xinmi. As the third generation successor of the Sword Emperor, I am afraid that there are not many people in this world who can be better than me."
I understand the Zhirou Sword Technique!"
"However, it seems to me that this girl is not a descendant of my Sword Emperor lineage, but I don't know where she learned this swordsmanship?"
"She learned it from me!"
Lin Ruo'er still didn't answer, but Ye Wushuang replied decisively without thinking.
"Learned it from you?"
Hearing this, Tao Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked in confusion: "My little friend is a disciple of the Sword Sect?"
The Wushuang Sword Emperor had a total of nine disciples at that time. Except for the closed disciple Pu Ruozhi who did not teach swordsmanship, the other eight disciples all received the true teaching.
Originally, the Wushuang Sword Emperor's original intention was to pass on the sword skills through these eight disciples and strengthen the Sword Sect.
Unexpectedly, with the sudden death of the Wushuang Sword Emperor, it didn't take long for the Sword Sect to have internal strife and fall apart.
After that, except for the Jian Sect who also taught the Zhirou Sword Technique, the other disciples who left the Jian Sect, such as Xiao Jianyun, Zhou Jianteng and others, except for their respective true disciples, the other descendants and disciples did not teach it.
This is easy to understand. Although they broke with Liu, Zhang, Li, and Jia and left the Sword Sect, they were not recognized by the Wushuang Sword Emperor after all. Naturally, they could not pass on the Sword Emperor's inheritance rashly.
Therefore, now in the entire Tianjian Continent, except for Zhou Jianteng and several other first-generation disciples, as well as some true disciples and direct bloodlines, the only ones who have the opportunity to learn the Sword Emperor's inheritance are the Sword Sect with upright roots and Miaohong.
However, Xiao Jianyun and others have never appeared in Donghuang; Ye Wushuang and others are naturally not their descendants.
In other words, Ye Wushuang and others are not the descendants of those who left the Sword Sect, but they have practiced the Zhirou Sword Technique, which is a martial art that the Sword Emperor does not pass on to others.
Obviously, only Sword Sect disciples are possible!
However, the Jian Sect has stopped spreading outwards since Xiao Jianyun and others broke up. Now, as the number one martial arts sect on the Tianjian Continent, the Jian Sect's scope of strength is still limited to the territory of Zhongzhou.
Even though the disciples in the Sword Sect come from the entire Tianjian Continent, almost all the disciples who join the sect are not allowed to leave the Sword Sect.
If the young man in white clothes in front of me is really a disciple of the Sword Sect, why is he here?
"no!"
Ye Wushuang grinned, still without thinking, shook his head decisively, and explained calmly: "How can I join a Sword Sect that has long since deviated from the orthodoxy?"
"You seem to be very hostile to Jian Zong?"
"It's not hostility, it's just plain disdain."
Ye Wushuang smiled and said: "Jianzong has long been occupied by a group of traitors who deceived their masters and destroyed their ancestors. They deviated from the orthodoxy, violated the ancestral teachings, and even colluded with the enemy. Such forces are not even worthy of becoming my enemies!"
"Well said!"
As soon as these words came out, Tao Jingyuan couldn't help but praise him, and his expression softened a little.
After all, as a member of Zhou Jianteng's lineage, he is also very hostile to Jianzong.
At this moment, Ye Wushuang directly judged them as traitors, which was naturally in line with his wishes.
Of course, even so, he still needed to interrogate clearly about the origin of the Zhirou Sword Technique.
Otherwise, if the master's secret technique is spread outside, but he knows nothing about it, wouldn't it be ridiculous?
"You're a good boy, you're quite to my liking."
Hearing this, Tao Jingyuan's frown suddenly relaxed a lot; he nodded slightly, his face softened a lot, and said: "However, I still need to explain to you clearly about the Zhirou Sword Jue.
That’s all.”
"After all, the secret skills of my Sword Emperor lineage can't be spread out so obscurely!"
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang nodded slightly, but did not answer Tao Jingyuan's question. Instead, he suddenly raised his eyes and asked: "You are the sect leader of Cangyun Branch of Tengjian Sect. You should be a descendant of Zhou Jianteng's lineage, right?"
Tao Jingyuan paused after hearing this, as if he didn't understand why Ye Wushuang suddenly asked this question; moreover, mentioning his master's name so bluntly also made him a little unhappy.
However, Tao Jingyuan only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied: "Not bad!"
"Then, now is not the time to tell you this question. I will tell you when it is time for you to know."
Ye Wushuang said lightly: "As for now..."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Wushuang withdrew his gaze and glanced at Gongsun Zhengning and the other four people. He then looked at Gongmen Tianyu, Shihua Mountain, and Chitian in the distance, and finally his eyes fell on the pit beside him.
Gongsun Hongyu continued: "I need to deal with my personal matters first..."
"No!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said these words, Tao Jingyuan, who was originally polite, suddenly spoke, interrupted directly, and said firmly: "I need an explanation first, little friend!"
The inheritance of the Sword Emperor is no small matter; it is not only related to the core interests of their Sword Emperor lineage, but also the face of their ancestor, the Wushuang Sword Emperor.
For him, as an authentic heir, nothing is naturally as important as this!
When Ye Wushuang heard this, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and a hint of displeasure appeared on his cold face. He looked at Tao Jingyuan, who looked like he wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, and said word by word: "What if I don't give it?
"
"Then don't blame me for being rude!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Jingyuan suddenly straightened his chest, and a majestic power rose into the sky, shaking the void.
"Master!"
"Sir..."
Seeing this scene, Chu Yuntian and Lin Ruo'er were both shocked, and subconsciously took steps to rush out of the protector.
As for Gongsun Zhengning, Sikong Yuanlong, You Hongyi, Mu Pei and others, they all looked at me and me, and they all looked surprised.
At this moment, they no longer have the strength to resist, and they are all like meat on the chopping block, allowing them to be slaughtered. If things continue to develop normally, there will only be death for them.
But at this moment, Tao Jingyuan's sudden intervention caused the situation to change; if the two sides could fight because of this, it would definitely change the direction of the situation.
That would naturally be a huge benefit to them without any harm!
"No problem!"
At this moment, Ye Wushuang suddenly waved his hand and stopped Lin Ruoer and Chu Yuntian. He looked with interest at the over fifty-year-old, white-bearded and white-haired leader of the Tengjian Sect's branch helm. He raised the corner of his mouth and said with a faint smile:
"Are you going to attack me?"
"The master's secret technique is of great importance. Although I have no intention of becoming an enemy of this little friend, if you are unwilling to cooperate, I will have no choice but to use force!"
At this moment, Tao Jingyuan raised his head and stared at Ye Wushuang with a firm expression, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Use force?"
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang was stunned, and immediately glanced at the bloody wound on Tao Jingyuan's chest, and said slowly: "The illusion, the strength is indeed extraordinary; but how much strength can you still use despite being injured?"
Speaking of this, Ye Wushuang paused and sighed: "You are no match for me now. I would like to advise you to just stay aside and talk to you about your affairs after I have solved the matter at hand. .”
"Let's talk about my problem first!"
Tao Jingyuan replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, and immediately made a move with his right hand in the air. With a clang, the broken sword that fell to Nangong Qian's side suddenly sprang out and flew into his hand in an instant. He said without giving up: "Please come back, please." Little friend, don’t force me!”
Seeing this scene, Ye Wushuang was completely speechless.
This little disciple of his has a bit of a temper!
"It seems that if I don't convince you, it will be really difficult to solve this problem."
Ye Wushuang sighed, and immediately put his right hand on his waist, saying: "That's okay, I'm only going to throw out one sword. If you can block it, I'll give you an explanation!"
"please!"
When Tao Jingyuan heard this, he broke his sword and shouted in a deep voice.
Crying...
The next moment, Ye Wushuang was too lazy to talk nonsense. He put his right thumb on the Emperor's Three Swords and suddenly pushed. The light sword flew out and instantly turned into a slender stream of light, like white thunder, directly slashing towards Tao Jingyuan.
