A series of vicious curses emerged from the devil's mouth, but Liang Yan remained unmoved, his expression did not change at all, he just held the man's head with one hand and began to groan in mid-air.
After a while, he had made a decision. Instead of killing the man on the spot, he took out a wooden box from the storage ring and sealed the head of the cursing demon inside.
Liang Yan put the wooden box into the storage ring, cleaned the battlefield again, then raised his hand and cast a spell, which disappeared directly into the black clouds.
Boom!
As a loud noise came, the black demonic cloud that originally shrouded the surroundings began to slowly dissipate.
At this moment, outside the scope of the demonic cloud, two figures were fighting each other quickly.
Situ Kuangsheng fought with the short and fat man from Qianji Sect for hundreds of moves, and now he was at an absolute disadvantage.
Although his sword moves are fierce, his cultivation level is far behind. He has just entered the early stage of Tongxuan Realm, and even the realm is not yet completely stable.
But the short and fat man from the Thousand Machine Sect has already broken through to the middle stage of Tongxuan Realm. The souls of hundreds of monks are sealed on the "Thousand Machine Hand". Most of the magical powers of these monks during their lifetime can be used, so all kinds of magical spells can be used.
He picked it up easily and beat Situ Kuangsheng to the point where he could hardly fight.
At this time, Situ Kuangsheng was already in critical condition, with many injuries on his body and his robe stained red with blood.
Although the "Soul-stealing and Killing Intent Sword" is a flying sword that can move forward in an indomitable manner, it is currently blocked in mid-air by various magical powers. No matter how much the owner activates it, it cannot get within a hundred feet of the opponent.
It can be said that the outcome of the fight is already clear. I am afraid that Situ Kuangsheng will be defeated in less than ten moves.
However, at this moment, not far from them, the huge demonic cloud that had been silent before suddenly started to roll.
Rumble!
As a muffled sound came, large demonic clouds began to retreat towards both sides. In just a few breaths, the strange black clouds that were originally like an abyss had already dissipated.
"Why did it take so long! That kid is only in the middle stage of Golden Core. Why do you two have to work so hard?"
The short, fat man didn't even look back, and muttered a few complaints. It was obvious to him that Liang Yan was bound to die, but it took such a long time, and his two companions were not very strong either.
And just as he spoke, a ray of blue light rushed out from the remaining black clouds at an incredible speed, leaving only a series of afterimages in the air, and arrived behind the short and fat man almost instantly.
"Huh?"
The short, fat man felt a warning sign in his heart. Almost without thinking, he used a shrinking spell on the "Thousand Machine Hands" and moved his whole body dozens of feet to the right.
However, before he could run very far, Qingxia turned around in mid-air, chasing after the short and fat man like a gangrene attached to his bones.
"what?!"
The short and fat man was startled, and was about to use another magical power on the "Thousand Machine Hands", but the sword wind roared beside him, and it was Situ Kuangsheng's "Soul-stealing Killing Intent Sword" that struck from the front.
Facing the attack from both front and back, the short and fat man also knew that he had no room to dodge. He hurriedly made a magic spell and threw an ancient mirror engraved with the seal of Yin and Yang into the air.
The ancient mirror emitted a faint blue light. Without any hesitation, the short and fat man took a few steps across and rushed into the ancient mirror.
boom!
Almost at the moment when the pudgy man disappeared, Liang Yan's Mayfly Sword Pill and Situ Kuangsheng's "Soul-stealing Killing Intent Sword" landed on the ancient mirror at the same time, splitting this strange magic weapon into pieces.
However, even if the magic weapon was broken, no remnants of the "Thousand Machine Sect" appeared in mid-air, and the short and fat man just disappeared without a trace.
Situ Kuangsheng rushed to the place where he disappeared almost instantly, carefully checked the ancient mirror fragments around him, and finally shook his head, not finding any clues about the other party.
"This magic weapon is not simple."
Situ Kuangsheng sighed softly, then turned his head and looked at the black clouds in the sky.
Behind the large black clouds, a man in gray clothes and a long gown was slowly walking out.
The person who came was none other than Liang Yan. He looked at the place where the short, fat man disappeared and smiled helplessly.
"This man was decisive. After discovering that his companion was missing, he immediately chose to escape."
It's not that he doesn't want to keep the other person, it's just that this person's magic weapon is a bit weird, and his breath disappears in an instant. Even if Liang Yan releases his spiritual consciousness to explore with all his strength, he can't find any clues about this person.
Fortunately, the fight just now took place under dark clouds, and he didn't reveal many secrets.
Situ Kuangsheng looked at Liang Yan, who was coming towards him, with a very complicated expression on his face. After his eyes changed several times, he finally bowed to him and said, "In today's battle, I, Situ Kuangsheng, lost.
My friend's swordsmanship has exceeded my imagination, and I am convinced that I have lost!"
He did not thank Liang Yan for saving his life, but directly admitted his failure, because for a proud and arrogant person like him, admitting defeat was the greatest respect he could give.
In comparison, the grace of saving his life is not worth mentioning, because he is a person who can die at any time in pursuit of the peak of swordsmanship. If you want to subdue this person, you can only surpass him in swordsmanship.
Although Liang Yan didn't spend much time with him, he roughly understood his character. At this time, he smiled slightly and did not deny it. He just nodded and said: "I will stay in Wushuang City for a while. If you have any idea in the future,
Jingjin, you can come to me for a challenge at any time. But I hope you will keep your mouth shut about today’s matter.”
"You must obey your orders!"
Situ Kuangsheng held up his hands and lowered his head. In front of Liang Yan, he no longer had the same madness as before.
Liang Yan thought for a while, then continued: "By the way, family monks like you should have your own special communication magic weapon, right?"
Although Situ Kuangsheng didn't know why he asked this, he still took out a square jade pendant from his sleeve and answered truthfully:
"Yes, in our Situ family, all the monks above the Tongxuan realm have this 'Thousand-mile Sound Transmission Jade', which can facilitate the monks who are away from home to contact the family at any time. However, if the bearer of this jade pendant enters some secret realm, or
If you leave the Wushuang Domain, you will not be able to contact us."
"nice one!"
Liang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Situ, can you bear the pain and give this jade pendant to Liang?"
Situ Kuangsheng was slightly startled when he heard this, and said with confusion on his face: "Fellow Taoist just saved my life, so this trivial matter is not a big deal, but I am very curious, what do you want with this 'Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Jade'? After all,
This thing can only communicate with our Situ family."
"I want this jade pendant just to keep in touch with fellow Taoist Situ." Liang Yan's face suddenly became solemn, and he lowered his voice and said: "You also know that Wushuang Realm has been in turmoil recently, and many things are weird. As Liang,
As a member of Wushuang City, he is in a turmoil and naturally wants to find some help."
"good!"
Situ Kuangsheng threw the jade pendant in his hand to Liang Yan without even thinking about it.
"You saved my life. No matter what the task is, I will never refuse it, even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire! But I have to say it first. As long as I, Situ Kuang, survive one day, I will eventually fight with you again!
"
"Hahaha!"
Liang Yan laughed and said, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist Situ, I can't talk about mountains of swords and seas of fire. I'm just asking you to do a little favor. If you want to compete with me in sword competition, Liang will always accompany you!"
While the two were talking, they had returned to Qiyun Cave on the cliff.
The magic circle that enveloped everyone has become much weaker, and cracks have appeared on the earthy yellow glow. Obviously, without the control of the person who set up the formation, the power of this magic circle has also weakened a lot.
Liang Yan and Situ Kuangsheng looked at each other, and almost at the same time they drew their swords. The "Soul-stealing Killing Intent Sword" and the Black Lotus Sword struck both sides of the formation, making a loud noise.
Immediately afterwards, the yellow glow that shrouded everyone collapsed, the magic circle was completely broken, and several figures flew out one after another.
The person at the front was Song Ru.
She had a vigilant look on her face, spiritual power was flowing in her palms, and a giant blue whale was floating above her head, seemingly ready to take action at any time.
However, after she saw the two people outside the magic circle clearly, she was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she took the magical power back into her body.
"Why are you two? Where are those people who ambush?"
Liang Yan chuckled and spoke first: "There is only one monk in the Tongxuan Realm outside. Although he has weird magical powers, he was beaten back by Situ Kuangsheng. Now he probably doesn't dare to come again."
After he said this, Situ Kuangsheng on the side naturally did not refute, but just nodded silently.
"Yeah?"
Song Ru obviously didn't believe it, and said with a half-smile: "Boy Liang, can you stop pretending? If the two of us fight, you should be the winner, right?"
"Senior Song is joking!"
Liang Yan laughed, shook his head and said: "This junior's sword skills were all learned from the Scripture Collection Pavilion in Bihai Palace. How dare you compare with Senior Song? You better not make fun of me."
"I've never seen anyone thicker-skinned than you!"
Song Ru spat at him and cursed with a smile: "Well, since you don't want to say it, I won't force it. After all, I am accepting your life-saving grace this time. As long as you don't rebel against Wushuang City, I will open my eyes."
One eye is closed."
"Thank you, Senior Song!" Liang Yan said, cupping his hands.
While the two were talking, Fang Liren, Buwen Jushi, Ji Lai and others all walked out of the magic circle.
Zhou Jinnian, the king of Daxia, was also among them.
Situ Kuangsheng glanced at his cousin, shook his head with some disappointment and said: "Thankfully, I came all the way to teach you the skills when you were young, but after hundreds of years, you still haven't made a breakthrough in your cultivation.
Golden elixir is really like rotten wood that cannot be carved!"
Zhou Jinnian said with a smile: "My qualifications are too poor. I'm afraid I won't be able to form an elixir in this life. I will embarrass the Situ family. I wonder how she is doing these years?"
Everyone knows that the "she" mentioned by Zhou Jinnian is naturally the eldest elder of the Situ family, Situ Qing.
"Don't worry, the man you are talking about is now highly cultivated and has no distracting thoughts. Even if he is your son, she may not take him to heart."
Situ Kuangsheng was always inhumane when he spoke, and he showed no mercy at this time.
Zhou Jinnian looked pale and wanted to say something else, but Situ Kuangsheng didn't give him a chance to ask any more questions. He flicked his sleeves, swept Zhou Jinnian with a white light, and flew out of Qiyun Cave.
Song Ru watched them go away, then took another look at the broken corpses on the ground in Qiyun Cave, and couldn't help but sigh: "This matter has been full of twists and turns. Although we finally completed the task, in the end we still violated the master.
Instructions before leaving."
Liang Yan knew that she was talking about the Seven Ghosts of the Underworld. These seven ghosts had taken the initiative to release the king of Daxia. The matter could have been resolved satisfactorily, but in the end they died tragically here.
"There is nothing we can do about this. We didn't take action to kill people, but there are obviously others here who are plotting secretly. If my guess is correct, I'm afraid that the 'Double Heroes of Yu Mo' in Chixiao Academy will also be in trouble."
Liang Yan said thoughtfully.
After hearing his analysis, the expressions of the other people changed, and Song Ru frowned deeply.
"This matter is not simple. I must report it to Master immediately. Let's return to Wushuang City." Song Ru said in a deep voice.
Liang Yan and others naturally had no objections to this. They each made a secret to drive a ray of light, left the territory of Daxia Kingdom, and flew in the direction of Wushuang City.
Half a month later, Liang Yan returned to Wushuang City. He first followed Song Ru to Bihai Palace to report on the mission of the trip, and then rejected Fang Liren and returned directly to his cave without hearing the layman and others' invitation to drink.
He carefully checked around the cave and added a few additional restrictions. After confirming that no one could pry from the outside, he went alone to a secret room deep in the cave.
Liang Yan sat down in front of his stone table, took out a wooden box from the storage ring, and unlocked the seals one by one.
As the wooden box was opened, a series of curses sounded from inside, and the speaker had only one head. It was the demon man who was defeated by Liang Yan in Qiyun Mountain half a month ago.
"You little thief, you pretend to be powerful and mess up my mind. Do you dare to fight me head-on?"
The head in the wooden box has wide eyes and a angry face, obviously dissatisfied.
After hearing this, Liang Yan was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. In the battle of life and death, we have to resort to all possible means. What's more, you yourself mistakenly identified me as someone else. What's the matter?
The blame lies on Mr. Liang.”
After he finished speaking, the head in the wooden box, although still full of anger, unexpectedly did not speak again.
Liang Yan saw this and continued: "Your Excellency's magical powers are indeed powerful, but your body is destroyed now. Even if Liang agrees to fight you, you can't show any strength. How about this, as long as you answer a few questions truthfully
Question, Mr. Liang might consider letting you go, or even help you reshape your body."
"What do you want to ask?" the demon man said angrily.
"Tell me first, who sent you to Qiyun Cave to ambush everyone? What is the purpose of the people behind this?" Liang Yan said slowly.
