Chapter 327 Cat Says
Yijian Mountain, Cangjian Peak.
Ping Shanhai sat on the roof of the thatched hut, placed the [Excalibur] flat on his knees, closed his eyes and breathed.
Soon, he received the secret message.
He suddenly opened his eyes, holding the [Divine Sword] in his hand, turned into a stream of light, and flew out of the Xizhou realm.
"The boundary marker broke through the air?" Ping Shanhai even thought this sentence was like a prank at first.
But he knew in his heart that the disciples stationed there would not play a prank on such a thing, nor would they dare to tell such an outrageous lie.
Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi have always speculated that there might be a trace of the soul of the Jianshan ancestor left in the boundary monument.
It is for this reason that it will select successors and pass on the sword art to suitable sword practitioners!
This speculation was indirectly confirmed after Lu Xun entered the boundary marker last time.
Lu Xun said that his greatest gain was making a friend inside the boundary monument.
Isn't this a confirmed fact ?
That is why, when he heard the news that the boundary marker had broken through the air, his first reaction was shock and disbelief. However, after thinking about it carefully, he actually found it acceptable and felt that there might be some deep meaning hidden in this matter from the ancestor.
Logical and well-reasoned...
Therefore, whether it was the matter of the boundary monument breaking through the air or in order to comprehend the ancestor's profound meaning, he needed to go there in person as soon as possible.
It was not enough for him to go alone, he immediately activated a sword seal.
In an instant, several streams of light flew out from the peaks of Yijian Mountain.
More than half of the great practitioners of Yijian Mountain followed Ping Shanhai and flew quickly towards the outside of Xizhou!
The same thing was happening in Wanjian Mountain, next to Yijian Mountain.
Not long after Ping Shanhai flew out of Cangjian Peak, he saw Qian Zhengyi flying towards him.
After the two looked at each other, they continued to move forward at the fastest speed without any pause!
And behind them, there are a lot of sword lights!
This kind of scene is not common in Xizhou.
If these people were put together, they could even flatten the entire Lost Forest!
…
…
In the Lost Forest, Lu Xun controlled the paper crane and landed beside the deep pit, and asked, "Are you okay?"
Lin Chan and Ji Li looked confused, not knowing who Lu Xun was communicating with.
They still haven't recovered and are shocked by what happened before their eyes.
How could the Xizhou boundary monument suddenly fall from the sky?
And it just happened to fall on this monster!
No one would believe me if I said I wasn’t here to save them!
At this moment, the slightly weak voice of Di Da sounded in Lu Xun’s heart: “I… I’m fine… Over there, it’s dangerous, I can’t go through…”
Dida looked just a little weak, but its words made Lu Xun's pupils shrink.
This place is quite far away from the cat's north and south sides, but Dida's perception range is obviously very wide, and it must have sensed the crisis over there!
Without saying anything, Lu Xun quickly lifted off into the air after putting Lin Chan and Ji Li down on the paper cranes. He circulated his spiritual energy and shouted, “Fourth Senior Sister! Come to me!”
He was sure that the people from Yijian Mountain and Wanjian Mountain were definitely flying here, so his safety was basically guaranteed.
As long as Mao Nanbei rushes over here, the two groups should be able to meet halfway.
That way she would be safe.
But unfortunately, he did not receive any response from Maonanbei.
Lu Xun's heart tightened and his whole body tensed up.
After seeing two sword lights flying in the distance, he flew towards the direction of Maonanbei without saying a word.
He screamed: "Help!!!"
The two elders in front of the boundary marker came here.
"Why are Lu Xun and others here?" They were all stunned.
Then, they saw the deadest beast and the huge pit below the boundary marker!
They feel that their brains are not enough and their thoughts cannot keep up.
Especially when Lu Xun saw them, he immediately flew in another direction, shouting, "Help!"
What’s happening! ?
Fortunately, the two of them are knowledgeable and experienced practitioners. They have encountered mysterious and unpredictable things throughout their practice, as well as many critical situations.
They know very well that at many critical moments, you don't have time to think or ponder.
You need to take action!
Lu Xun and others also have special identities and cannot afford to make any mistakes.
Therefore, the two elders made the decision in just a moment.
The elder from Wanjian Mountain stayed here and looked at the boundary marker, while the elder from Yijian Mountain quickly chased in the direction where Lu Xun flew.
…
…
In the distance, Yin Tian’s left eye pupil was still flashing with a strange purple light.
He kept waving the sickle in his hand, but the expression on his face changed from bloodthirsty to solemn.
From his angle, he could also see the "daytime meteor".
Although he didn't know what it was, he knew in his heart: "Something happened!"
Sure enough, the next moment, he sensed that his exotic pet had lost its life in an instant!
While he was sad and angry, he also knew that he had to end the battle quickly.
The meteor just now came from the direction of Xizhou. He was not stupid and knew that this strange phenomenon must have attracted the attention of the sword cultivators of Xizhou.
It is even possible that it was the swordsman from Xizhou who took action!
"It's not advisable to stay here for long." He thought to himself.
But he felt it was a pity to let him leave like this.
Because the cat Nanbei in front of him can no longer hold on.
The power of the [Immortal Talisman] had long been exhausted. Now, the reason why the [Immortal Talisman] was still running was that it was burning the spiritual power in Mao Nanbei's body.
It was true that she was a practitioner at the sixth level, but this terrifying [Immortal Talisman] consumed a great deal of spiritual energy, and with her level of cultivation, she could not sustain it for long.
Mao Nanbei is now in a state of overdraft, not just an overdraft of spiritual power and spiritual consciousness!
She was already somewhat confused and out of consciousness.
He was only acting on his own instincts, or what was left of his will.
She stood in front of him, preventing Yin Tian from getting closer to Lu Xun.
Junior Brother... I'm protecting you...
As promised, I will always protect my junior brother...
The golden characters surrounding her were only a thin layer, so dim that they seemed like they would disappear at any time.
"Just a few breaths, she can only hold on for a few more breaths at most!" Yin Tian said in his heart.
Gradually, he licked his scarlet lips and his expression became a little crazy.
He knew very well that he was a chess piece chosen by the Second Priest.
His mission is to kill the master's disciples, no matter what the cost, even his own life!
He can be used as a discarded pawn.
This is his mission.
If that's the case, then what's the point of retreating?
As long as he could break through this layer of faint characters, he could easily take Mao Nanbei's life with a wave of the sickle in his hand.
By then, even if the sword cultivators from Xizhou arrived here, they would only die.
As long as the task is completed, it is worth it!
The black sickle drew a strange arc in the air, breaking through the space and hitting the shield created by the [Immortal Talisman] again.
The light of the character-shaped shield flickered, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.
At this moment, Lu Xun's voice continued to be heard.
Mao Nanbei could no longer hear clearly, but Yin Tian could hear it clearly.
He could sense that Lu Xun was approaching.
And there is one person whose speed is even faster than Lu Xun!
The cultivation level of the person who came was actually at the peak of the sixth realm!
Yin Tian didn’t think that the other party was his opponent, but it would still take some time to deal with a cultivator at the peak of the sixth realm.
And after careful perception, he discovered that in the distance, there was actually someone at the peak of the sixth realm!
At this distance, before he could get rid of the sword cultivator who was approaching at a very fast speed, the one on the other side would be able to arrive here to provide support.
The worst thing is, if we are held back by these two, there will definitely be people from Xizhou rushing here!
Damn it, the meticulous plan was foolproof, but it was ruined by the thing that fell from the sky out of nowhere!
But fortunately, the next moment, he swung his sickle forward and directly shattered the [Immortal Talisman].
Yin Tian's eyes lit up and his face looked ferocious. He didn't hesitate at all, like a real god of death, reaping the lives in front of him!
The surrounding space twisted in an instant, and the black light seemed to be able to swallow everything.
Just as it was about to touch Mao Nanbei's petite body, Yin Tian didn't know if he was hallucinating, but he vaguely heard a cat's meow.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but it was clearly a cat’s meow, but he felt an irresistible majesty from it!
Like a god on earth!
A huge but hazy black shadow spread outward from Maonanbei's body.
It was a little blurry, like a big cloud of black smoke.
The only thing that is clear is that pair of eyes!
The majesty in his eyes gives people a feeling that they cannot be violated.
And in the pupil, there is a mark of nine flames converging together.
However, five of the flames were translucent, while the other four were burning brightly.
At this moment, one of the four burning flames is spreading outwards.
Black flames exploded in the air, not only blocking Yin Tian's attack, but also sending him flying backwards!
This ray of flame is comparable to a full-strength attack from the peak of the seventh realm!
"No! This is the power that only the eighth level should have!" Yin Tian endured the severe pain in his body and came to the conclusion in his heart.
By this point, his entire right arm had been torn cleanly, even the bones had been turned into powder.
He knew very well that this was not a magic weapon or a talisman.
This is a very mysterious power, a power that is extremely far away from his realm!
At this moment, the elder of Yijian Mountain had already flown nearby and decisively summoned his flying sword.
Yin Tian grabbed the sickle with his only remaining left hand to block the sword light.
He looked at the phantom that was like black mist dissipating in the air, and the extremely strange flame, and a crazy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Severely injured, he suddenly closed his left eye while dealing with the elders of Yijian Mountain.
The next moment, his purple eyes exploded.
A tiny but sharp purple light pierced towards Maonanbei who was falling in the air!
Without the protection of the black mist-like shadow, Mao Nanbei would surely die!
"Not good!" The elder of Yijian Mountain threw out a square piece of green cloth.
This magic weapon blocked the purple light, but was directly penetrated by it!
Although the purple light was weakened a lot, it still flew in the direction where Maonanbei fell.
There is no way to avoid it!
At this moment, a black figure flew to Maonanbei's side.
It was Lu Xun.
He caught Mao Nanbei in one hand, and [Powder and Ink] surrounded him.
He didn't think about anything and just hugged Mao Nanbei tightly in his arms, protecting her with his body.
He didn't even consider whether he could block the attack.
The purple light first pierced through the paper crane, then shattered Lu Xun's sword intent and [Powder and Ink], leaving a wound on Lu Xun's back where the bones were visible.
Although it is not fatal, it is shocking.
Without the paper crane, Lu Xun, who was not yet a great practitioner, would not be able to fly.
Moreover, his spiritual power was exhausted, so even if he took out another paper crane from the storage ring, he could not activate it.
He held Mao Nanbei's petite body in his arms and continued to fall from mid-air.
With his physique comparable to that of a [Top-grade Spirit Sword], he knew that he could not die.
As he fell, he endured the severe pain in his back and roared, "Fourth Senior Sister! Mao Nanbei! Mao Nanbei!"
The cat Nanbei, who was held tightly in his arms, was already very confused.
"Bang——"
Lu Xun's already injured back fell heavily to the ground, creating a deep hole.
He heard the sound of his bones breaking, and after a muffled groan, he clearly felt the endless pain coming from his body.
In this situation, he still hugged Mao Nanbei tightly and protected her as best he could.
Just like when Mao Nanbei protected him.
“Fourth Senior Sister…” Although Lu Xun was weak, he did not stop talking.
Lu Xun clearly saw that there was a black flame mark between Mao Nanbei’s eyebrows.
A mark composed of nine flames.
Among them, six flames have become translucent, and three are burning like real flames!
The mark only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing, as if it had never appeared.
At such a close distance, the fuzzy Mao Nanbei seemed to finally hear Lu Xun's words.
"Junior...Junior brother..." Her voice was very soft and her tone was very weak.
"It's me! Fourth Senior Sister, it's me!" Lu Xun endured the pain in his body and shouted as loudly as he could.
Mao Nanbei listened to Lu Xun's words and seemed to be finally relieved.
Lu Xun held her in his arms and could clearly feel that she was "getting smaller".
Maonanbei's black coat gradually became loose.
Under the black robe, she turned back into a little black cat.
She closed her eyes, but her breathing was long and deep, as if she was asleep.
Lu Xun looked at her, tears welling up in his eyes.
I don’t know if it’s because it hurts so much or for some other reason.
Before Maonanbei fell asleep, Lu Xun vaguely heard a sentence.
In fact, as a senior sister, Mao Nanbei has always had some ideas of her own.
For example, the third senior brother would give Lu Xun spirit stones before he went down the mountain every time, and the second senior sister also gave Lu Xun sword energy and trained him by entangled him with sword intent.
She was the only one who seemed to be causing trouble all day long and only asked Lu Xun to cook for her.
She accompanied Lu Xun down the mountain twice, not only because she couldn't leave Chef Lu, but also because she really wanted to protect him.
It was all she could do.
She remembered clearly that every time the third senior brother gave Lu Xun spirit stones, the younger junior brother would refuse verbally and physically, but his smile was so bright.
She could see that Junior Brother loved money! Humph!
But she has no money.
All her money was given by her third senior brother. Even if she gave it to her junior brother, it would just be a token of appreciation and would not be meaningful.
Mao Nanbei knew in her heart that Lu Xun doted on her very much.
But she is the senior sister, she is the elder!
She also wants to protect her junior brother.
Therefore, the last words she said to Lu Xun in a daze before she fell into a coma were:
"I don't have money, but cats have nine lives. Senior sister... I'll give you one..."
