Chapter 272 Dancheng, Holy Dragon Guard, Ten Directions Martial Monument (5K)
Outside Yunxia Mountain.
"Brother, don't be so anxious. Take your time, it's faster!"
Two figures shuttled through the forest. Bai Luoxue, who was walking behind, saw that his senior brother was walking faster and faster, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Senior brother Xu Qingshan did not slow down after hearing this, but said as he walked: "Junior sister, don't talk about your true meaning of martial arts at this time. We must quickly go to Yunxia Mountain to check the truth. Otherwise, we will not be able to catch up in three months. My Wanshou Secret Realm is in trouble!"
"No, senior brother, we have arrived near Yunxia Mountain now." Bai Luoxue replied helplessly.
As a senior brother, she was very irritable and had no idea where she was. She was so anxious that she lost her direction.
Sure enough, Xu Qingshan paused when he heard this, scratched his head, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Oh, really? I just knew."
Immediately, his face straightened, he looked at Bai Luoxue and asked, "Junior sister, why didn't you tell senior brother earlier!"
Bai Luoxue rolled her eyes: "Senior brother, if you are so anxious, I'm afraid you won't be able to find anything even if you get to Yunxia Mountain."
"Junior sister, senior brother is just impatient, not stupid. People like me are called rough but fine, not to mention..." Xu Qingshan corrected.
"Besides what?" Bai Luoxue asked.
Xu Qingshan chuckled: "Besides, I still have you."
Bai Luoxue: "..."
"But junior sister, you are right. This mission is not that simple. You and I still have to be careful."
Xu Qingshan changed the topic, changed his usual demeanor, his tone became serious, and even his expression became extremely serious.
When Bai Luoxue heard this, she looked at her senior brother with slight surprise, who was rarely able to think. In the past, she was the one who did the thinking while his senior brother did the work.
Sensing Bai Luoxue's gaze, Xu Qingshan suddenly panicked: "What, what's wrong?"
After less than three breaths, Xu Qingshan returned to his original state.
Sure enough, I still can't have too much hope for my senior brother.
Bai Luoxue sighed in her heart and responded: "You are right, this mission is quite fishy, we must proceed with caution."
She and Xu Qingshan were both members of the Holy Dragon Guard, and this time they received a temporary mission from the royal family to go to Yunxia Mountain to investigate the Danhuo incident.
As Xu Qingshan said, the birth of Danhuo this time is not simple.
If Dan Fire only appeared on Yunxia Mountain in Tiandan City, it would not attract the attention of the royal family.
The key point is that all the nine major Dan cities in the Dan League have Dan fires born at almost the same time, which is extraordinary.
In particular, the objects attracted by these alchemy fires include more than 50% of the alchemy masters in the alchemy alliance, and these alchemy masters are generally above the third level.
Therefore, as soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the royal family. The royal family issued a mission overnight and sent out the Holy Dragon Guard to investigate the matter.
"Could it be the conspiracy of the Demon Alliance?" Xu Qingshan guessed, showing an indignant look, "The Demon Alliance is still determined to destroy our human race. Maybe they want to take this opportunity to attack the alchemists of the Alchemy Alliance and kill the warriors. Cultivation resources are really abominable!”
Bai Luoxue was noncommittal: "You have quite a lot on your mind. What if it's a spiritual alliance?"
"None of them are good people!" Xu Qingshan snorted.
Bai Luoxue said nothing, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she thought deeper.
She was even more worried about the Demon Alliance and the Spirit Alliance joining forces. After all, this kind of thing didn't happen just once or twice.
In recent years, the Demon Alliance's behavior has become more and more arrogant, often joining forces with the Spirit Alliance to implement a series of plans that undermine the prosperity of the human race.
For example, destroying the Shifang Martial Monument on Martial Arts Mountain.
Another example is cutting off various resources on the frontline battlefield.
Behaviors like this continue and become increasingly brazen.
She even suspected that if the Demon Alliance and the Spirit Alliance were really involved behind the trip to Yunxia Mountain, their target would most likely be the Shifang Martial Monument.
Because in three months it will be the time for the Wanshou Secret Realm to open, and many warriors will go to the Secret Realm by then.
The location where the secret realm is opened happens to be near Martial Arts Mountain.
The Shifang Martial Stele on the Martial Arts Mountain is the sacred stele for the inheritance of human martial arts. It records the true meaning of martial arts of the martial arts masters of the human race in the past generations.
Its historical origins can be traced back to the beginning of the creation of the Holy Kingdom of the Ten Directions by the human race.
When the ancestors of the human race set up the Ten Directions Martial Monument, the purpose was to ensure that the inheritance of the human race's martial arts would not be cut off.
It is precisely relying on the inheritance in the Shifang Martial Monument that the human race has become stronger and stronger.
The importance of the Ten Directions Martial Monument is self-evident, so the Holy Yuan Kingdom set up a large formation in Martial Arts Mountain to protect the Ten Directions Martial Monument.
But even so, the people from the Demon Alliance and the Spirit Alliance still refused to give up, and made many sneak attacks on the Martial Arts Mountain, hoping to destroy the Shifang Martial Monument.
The opening of the Wanshou Secret Realm this time is an excellent opportunity for the people of the Demon Alliance and the Spirit Alliance, and they cannot waste it in vain.
Now there are only three months left before the secret book of longevity is opened, but something like this happened in Jiudadan City.
Although he didn't know what the Demon Alliance and the Spirit Alliance had planned, in Bai Luoxue's opinion, this matter might be that the Demon Alliance and the Spirit Alliance were trying to deceive others.
"Junior sister, look!" Just as he was thinking, Xu Qingshan suddenly shouted.
Bai Luoxue followed the sound and soon saw the black cloud rising from Yunxia Mountain. The black cloud exuded a strong demonic aura.
"It's the Demon Alliance!" Her face changed slightly. This matter was indeed related to the Demon Alliance.
Xu Qingshan's impatience suddenly exploded due to the sudden change, and he hurriedly said: "Junior sister, let's go over and have a look. I seem to hear screams. It must be the people from the Demon Alliance who are attacking the alchemist."
"Well, be careful."
This time, Bai Luoxue did not refuse, but seriously reminded Xu Qingshan.
The two people quickly turned into a group of afterimages and ran towards Yunxia Mountain.
at the same time.
Tiandan City, Miao Mansion, in a certain courtyard.
It was no different from usual, and seemed unusually calm.
Suddenly, a beautiful figure walked into the yard. The high ponytail swayed with the figure, looking full of vitality.
"Brother Xiang..."
Miao Xingxing called Su Chen's name several times. Seeing that Su Chen didn't respond, he soon knew the reason.
She curled her lips and murmured: "Brother Xiang is refining elixirs again."
She was helpless. At Su Chen's age, others were either eating, drinking, having fun or traveling around. Why was he like Miao Kuo, who was either refining elixirs or on the road to refining elixirs all day long.
Miao Xingxing was disappointed not to be able to see Su Chen.
However, she didn't disturb Su Chen. After waiting for a while, she knew that Su Chen probably wouldn't come out today, so she planned to turn around and leave.
At this moment, Miao Xingxing's face suddenly changed: "Is this?"
A terrible breath came from the room. This breath was not the breath of the elixir produced by alchemy.
From this breath, Miao Xingxing sensed a sense of danger.
"No, something happened to Brother Xiang!"
Without any time to think about it, Miao Xingxing was confused and rushed into Su Chen's room to check the situation.
boom!
However, the closer he got, the more terrifying Miao Xingxing became aware of this aura.
With difficulty, she couldn't enter Su Chen's room at all.
"Brother Xiang, please don't let anything happen to you!"
Miao Xingxing's pretty face was solemn, and the energy around her body was surging. Without any hesitation, she unleashed all her strength and wanted to break open the door.
"Almost, just a little bit close!"
boom!
Seeing that his hands were about to touch the door, his body could no longer hold up and he flew out.
Thump thump thump.
The force of the rebound directly caused it to fall several meters away, and it took several steps to stabilize its body.
Quickly suppressing the surging energy, blood and energy in his body, Miao Xingxing had a look of determination on his face.
She took out a crystal elixir from her arms and swallowed it, and the energy around her body became more and more powerful as the elixir flowed into it.
A powerful aura far beyond the current realm spewed out like a volcano.
Immediately, Miao Xingxing let out a light drink, and his body turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed out.
When she was only one step away from the door, her figure suddenly paused, and the aura became stronger.
"Brother Xiang..."
Miao Xingxing gritted her teeth. The name came out from between her white lips and teeth, giving her firm strength.
Finally, she reached the door.
Squeak.
But at this moment, the door was opened, and the terrifying aura lingering in Su Chen's room instantly disappeared.
It's like it never happened.
Miao Xingxing was stunned and slowly raised his head.
A slender figure came into view, and a gentle smile came like a spring breeze, carrying a throbbing aura.
"Xiang, Brother Xiang, are you okay?"
Seeing Su Chen safe and sound, Miao Xingxing could no longer bear it. The worry in his heart poured out like a flood, and he hugged Su Chen.
Su Chen froze on the spot, feeling the faint fragrance pouring into his nose, and felt a little at a loss for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
After a long time, Su Chen asked curiously.
Miao Xingxing let go of Su Chen, her cheeks flushed, and she whispered in a low voice: "There was a very strong aura in your room just now. I thought something happened to you."
Hearing this, Su Chen smiled and said, "Silly girl, don't worry, I'm fine."
Miao Xingxing hummed slightly and lowered his head, not daring to look at Su Chen.
"Brother Xiang, where are you going?" Miao Xingxing couldn't help asking when she saw Su Chen was planning to leave.
Su Chen replied: "I'm going to find your grandpa. I have to go out recently."
"Ah, you want to go out?" Miao Xingxing said anxiously after hearing this.
Su Chen nodded.
"But, my grandfather went to Yunxia Mountain." Miao Xingxing said.
Yunxia Mountain?
Su Chen quickly remembered that this was where the Dan Fire appeared.
"Are you looking for Danhuo?" He murmured to himself, guessing what Miao Kuo was thinking.
Then he said to Miao Xingxing: "Then tell Mr. Miao."
Unexpectedly, Miao Xingxing shook her head like a rattle. She came to Su Chen, stared at Su Chen, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang, why don't you take me with you?"
Su Chen shook his head and refused: "No, I just want to do business."
"Okay." Miao Xingxing looked at Su Chen who was leaving with some disappointment.
After leaving Miao Mansion, Su Chen walked out of Tiandan City with great expectations, joy overflowing from the depths of his eyes.
Just now, he successfully refined the Tianxin Pill.
During this trip, he planned to find a remote place to swallow the Tianxin Pill to see if he could open up a tenth profound vein.
If he swallowed it in Miao Mansion, he was worried that it would cause disturbance during the development process, and he would not be able to cover it up even if he wanted to.
Just like before, he was almost discovered by Miao Xingxing.
To be on the safe side, Su Chen chose to leave the Miao Mansion temporarily to avoid attracting too much attention.
Just when Su Chen was looking for a remote place, battles broke out one after another on Yunxia Mountain, with sounds of fighting and screams.
"Junior sister, leave quickly!"
Xu Qingshan did not expect that this mission would be so dangerous.
The worst-case scenario has arisen. In this Danhuo incident, both the Demon Alliance and the Spirit Alliance are involved.
There were quite a few people coming, and at least five emperor-level monsters showed up and slaughtered all the alchemists.
When the two arrived at Yunxia Mountain, the entire Yunxia Mountain was already dyed red with blood.
Before the two reported the news, one of the monsters sensed their aura and attacked them.
Although the strength of the two of them is in the Dharma phase realm, the opponent has a large number of people. With two against five, they are no match.
After a battle, both Xu Qingshan and Bai Luoxue were injured to varying degrees.
In order to let Bai Luoxue escape, Xu Qingshan took the initiative to delay time.
"Brother!"
Bai Luoxue looked at Xu Qingshan who was besieged by three monsters. His shirt was dyed red with blood, but he still resisted tenaciously.
"Haha, instead of worrying about that kid, it's better to worry about yourself!"
The Qingyang Vine on the side sneered, and thousands of vines danced like a group of snakes, exuding an icy sheen.
As soon as she finished speaking, thick vines ran across like iron chains, tearing the air and rushing towards Bai Luoxue.
When Bai Luoxue saw this, she didn't dare to be careless and dodged with her dexterity.
At this time, her steps were slow, but her speed was unprecedentedly fast, so fast that afterimages appeared in the void.
"What's this?"
Qingyang Teng, who was attacking, suddenly became startled. At some point, heavy snow fell from the sky.
One piece, two pieces... within a moment, they were all over the sight.
"Be careful, it's her martial arts form." Huoshu, who was killing the alchemist next to Qingyang Teng, warned lightly.
Martial arts laws are not fixed, they can be big or small, real or imaginary, everything depends on the martial artist's will.
Not far away, Xu Qingshan also discovered that Bai Luoxue was performing martial arts skills, and his expression suddenly changed.
"No, junior sister!"
Unlike him, his Qingshan Dharma Appearance can be used at will, but Bai Luoxue's Dharma Appearance cannot be used easily for some reasons.
Otherwise, Bai Luoxue's lifespan will be shortened by ten years if used once.
This was also the reason why he asked Bai Luoxue to leave.
Seeing Bai Luoxue using the Dharma now, Xu Qingshan couldn't help but remind him.
Bai Luoxue said nothing and continued to activate the Dharma.
Suddenly, an extremely disharmonious scene appeared above the hot canyon.
The heavy goose feather snow in the sky seems to have formed a world of ice and snow, freezing all the heat and shrouding everyone and demons in it.
"Get away!"
Seeing the power of Bai Luoxue's magic skills getting stronger and stronger, Xu Qingshan could no longer hold back his anger.
Violent Yuan Power swept out of his body like a storm.
Above his head, a towering blue mountain formed angrily under his roar.
Boom boom boom!
There is no need for exquisite control, just the simplest impact will shake the void and release unparalleled power.
In a rage, Xu Qingshan's Qingshan Dharma Appearance was extremely arrogant. Wherever it passed, the air trembled and thunder burst out.
"Brother, leave quickly!"
Suddenly, a crisp sound reached his ears, reaching Xu Qingshan who was killing everyone in all directions, causing his tiger body to tremble.
Xu Qingshan looked at Bai Luoxue. At this time, Bai Luoxue's face was pale, and her delicate body was suspended in the air, teetering on the edge of collapse.
Roar!
Just as Xu Qingshan was about to leave, a roaring voice suddenly sounded.
The Fierce Tiger Emperor, who was wrapped in snowflakes, easily broke through his confinement, opened his bloody mouth, and took a deep breath.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew between the sky and the earth, and the falling snowflakes rushed into the tiger's mouth like a summons.
In less than three breaths, the Fierce Tiger Emperor absorbed most of the snowflakes, and his entire body swelled like an iron tower.
call!
Immediately, he spurted out terrifying wind and waves, which swept across all directions like a tidal wave, carrying endless flames and burning all the remaining snowflakes.
The originally cold world suddenly became hot at this moment.
Bai Luoxue's ice and snow magic form, under the fierce tiger's mouth, could not last for ten breaths before quickly disintegrating.
Fortunately, this restraint provided time for the two of them.
"Fire Tiger Emperor, you better not take action next time!" The swaying branches of the fire tree said dissatisfiedly.
He was on the rise to kill, but was blown away by the Fierce Tiger Emperor and almost uprooted, so he was naturally dissatisfied.
The Fierce Tiger Emperor did not speak, but stared at Xu Qingshan and Bai Luoxue who were walking away, and slapped them with his palm.
"Be careful!" Xu Qingshan warned loudly as he noticed the Fierce Tiger Emperor's attack.
Then he dodged, controlled the Qingshan Dharma Appearance, and slammed into the tiger's palm.
At this moment, the Purple Mantis Emperor also escaped from trouble with the help of the Fierce Tiger Emperor and faced Xu Qingshan again.
The Fierce Tiger Emperor was good at fire and poison attacks, and the Purple Mantis Emperor was extremely fast. Under the siege of the two, Xu Qingshan was struggling.
On the other side, Yanhunhua and Qingyang Vine also surrounded Bai Luoxue, completely containing him.
Below, the Blood-Drinking Fire Tree controls its branches, constantly harvesting the alchemist's life.
"No, Brother Miao, get out of here!"
Branches exuding coldness and ice are spread throughout the canyon, and alchemists are dying every moment.
Miao Kuo fought side by side with his friends. As time passed, the two gradually became unable to catch up.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, his friend discovered the crisis in time and rescued Miao Kuo.
However, this also caused his friend's arm to be injured. Seeing this, Miao Kuo quickly turned his palm into a knife and chopped down, cutting off the branch.
The branches can suck blood. Once they are stabbed and not cut off in time, all the blood in the alchemist's body will be sucked out, which is very scary.
The two suffered several losses because of this branch, and their bodies were already scarred.
"Brother Miao, it was me who harmed you." His friend's arm was half disabled, his momentum was weakening, and he blamed himself.
During this trip to Yunxia Mountain, he invited Miao Kuo to come, but he never thought that he would actually harm him.
After hearing this, Miao Kuo shook his head and said: "It's time now, don't talk about this, just find a way to get out."
Having said that, Miao Kuo's face was unusually solemn.
Looking at the branches all over the sky, it is not easy to get out.
"Brother Miao, I'll cover you when you get out!" My friend nodded, making a decision in his heart, and said through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, Miao Kuo was about to speak, but was interrupted by the other party: "I'm too seriously injured right now and I can't escape at all. Instead of both of us losing our lives, it's better for you to get out."
As soon as he finished speaking, his friend rushed out like crazy, spitting cold words: "Kill!"
Miao Kuo followed closely, his eyes sweeping across.
Suddenly, a familiar figure reflected in his pupils, and he couldn't help but be startled: "Is that...Xiang Xiaoyou?"
