Volume 1: The Jianghu is the main thing, who is the guest? Chapter 55: Cuiyun Peak, Green Water Lake
Complex problems often have simple answers.
The word "take action" almost caused all the members of the Qinglong Society in Jinling City to come out in droves.
Just like Shangguan Xiaoxian rose from Luoyang City back then, now this "Excalibur Villa" is going to rise in Jinling, so victory or defeat is very important.
If they win, these Jiangnan martial arts families will be like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of the Qinglong Society; if they lose, the world of martial arts will have another huge, formidable force.
So, there is nothing much to say. The coming and going of the world is nothing but a horizontal and vertical line, life and death. The word "action" already contains too much.
No matter how much you talk, in the end, it all comes down to action.
If someone looked down from the eaves and roof tiles at this moment, they would easily find that there were dozens, even hundreds or thousands of leaping, dodging and running figures rushing towards the Divine Sword Villa like ghosts; each of them was proficient in hiding, and was an extremely powerful killer, with light and silent steps, always shrinking into the shadows with only their eyes visible.
These people may not know each other, but they come from all directions under the command of the Qinglong Society, and then retire after achieving their mission, and then scatter in all directions again.
"It seems that the third young master of the Divine Sword Villa is three times more powerful than the former Shangguan Xiaoxian." Li Muchan looked up at the moon that had already reached the zenith. The breeze was blowing against the bright moon. Calculating the time, it was still the twentieth hour when it got dark, but now it was more than half past the twentieth hour. "I wonder if being born with a sword bone is really that mysterious?"
When the name Shangguan Xiaoxian was mentioned, the Six Dragons suddenly became a little agitated. That's right, he was the one who was attacked by the hall master in the "Hundred Flowers Forest" that day and had to retreat temporarily: "Humph, no matter how powerful he is, there are many people with amazing talents in this world, but it is a talent to survive and grow up."
The cold words were filled with overbearing arrogance.
"Too."
Li Muchan couldn't help but think of a corpse he saw that day, and the knife marks on it that seemed to be left by a flying knife.
There are many people who use flying knives in the martial arts world, but the one who can make this common hidden weapon so powerful that it can be transformed from a "hidden weapon" to a "visible weapon", apart from "Xiao Li Flying Dagger", there is only one person who is the most famous, and that is Mr. Siwu.
Luoyang Xiao family, Xiao Siwu.
This person's name is very long, strange and long: "He went to heaven and earth to search for Xiao Li, with the sole purpose of killing Ye Kai."
Since ancient times, scholars have looked down on each other, as have warriors, and swordsmen are no exception.
Flying knives can generally be considered swordsmen.
The reason why this person was called this name was because it was rumored that he was invincible with his flying knife, had killed countless people, was ruthless when he turned his face, and was also ruthless when he didn't turn his face, so people in the world called him "The Four-Nothing Young Master".
Li Muchan's mind moved secretly. If this person was real, he would have to add another person to the name, and that would be Shangguan Xiaoxian.
Shangguan Xiaoxian has the dragon and phoenix rings in her hands, which can be said to be the nemesis of all hidden weapons in the world; this person is not Li Xunhuan, and it will take him forever to win, and facing the scheming of that woman, he may not even have a chance in this lifetime.
Moreover, he suddenly discovered something very serious. This battle was very dangerous. Among the three dragon heads, the "Sixth Dragon Head" was a defeated general of Shangguan Xiaoxian, and the "Fifth Dragon Head" was suspected to be the second young master of the Xie family, and was secretly colluding with Shangguan Xiaoxian and had ulterior motives. Adding on him , the "Seventh Dragon Head " who was barely in the mainstream, this trip was most likely in jeopardy, and he was probably being plotted against.
Don't forget, there is Murong Ying, the elder of the evil sect, who is watching closely.
The more he thought about Li Muchan, the more his heart sank, until it reached the bottom.
The green robes of the five dragon heads fluttered in the wind, just like a kite without a string, swaying erratically, and it was difficult to find its direction. Their movements were even more bizarre than the martial arts in the "Ghost Secret Manual". Suddenly, they stamped their feet and said hoarsely, "We're here!"
Li Muchan looked carefully and saw green water surrounding green mountains, and the first thing that caught his eye was a steep and dangerous peak.
This peak stands alone under the moon, with cliffs covered with thousands of sharp edges and reaching high into the sky. From a distance, it looks like an unparalleled divine sword, emitting an incomparable sword intent, as if it wants to pierce the blue sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the stars and the moon. It is extremely shocking.
At the foot of the dangerous peak is a green mountain of medium height, surrounded by water on three sides and with lush forests. In the middle, a straight stone staircase about three meters wide is faintly visible, as if extending from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain.
At this moment of life and death, the surroundings were as silent as death. Except for the slightest movement, there was no other sound.
And between the low mountain and them, the green water in the lake had been dyed silver by the bright moonlight, like frost and snow, reflecting the lonely moon.
But the murderous intent in the air made it almost impossible for everyone to breathe. The murderous aura was pervasive and the killing intent was cold.
Almost at the same time they arrived, a group of people appeared at the other end of the lake. The leader stood with his arms folded, carrying six swords on his back, and on his left and right stood two statue-like figures. They were none other than the Demon Cult Elder Murong Ying and the two Wind Envoys.
Behind him, there were shadowy figures and murderous intent.
The two sides looked at each other from a distance, and there was no irreconcilable scene. Instead, they tacitly cast their eyes across the lake, looking at the villa hidden halfway up the mountain.
Murong Ying glanced at where the members of the Azure Dragon Society were and said calmly, "Has the Thunder Envoy not arrived yet?"
Someone behind him quickly replied: "No."
Murong Ying's face showed no emotion, and he said meaningfully: "Young Master Ghost... Haha, since he likes to hide in the dark, then we won't wait for him. He actually killed so many Xie family members without making any noise, he is indeed a master of assassination."
And the Qinglong Society.
Li Muchan couldn't help but concentrate when he saw that the "Demon Cult" and the "Green Dragon Society" were actually preparing to attack the "Excalibur Villa" together.
It's true that I always encounter such dangerous situations. In this battle, I have to be on guard against Shangguan Xiaoxian, deal with Shenjian Villa, and even deal with the Demon Cult. It's hard to tell whether the people around me are friends or enemies.
The five dragon heads asked quietly, "What are they waiting for?"
The six dragon heads sneered: "Maybe they are waiting for us."
His eyes behind the mask suddenly froze, a cold light flashed across them, and he suddenly leaped into the sky like an eagle, flew out with a wave of his arms, swung in the air over the lake, and plunged his hands into the water like lightning; then there was a "splash", and a member of the Xie family who was hiding in the lake was caught and thrown heavily onto the shore.
However, before anyone could approach him to question him, the man did not hesitate and slashed himself with a sword, killing himself on the spot.
The six dragon heads turned back and saw this scene, and there was a rare look of fear in their eyes.
The world is dangerous and people's hearts are unpredictable. It is not uncommon for couples to kill each other, brothers to murder each other, and fathers and sons to betray each other. In contrast, loyalty becomes particularly precious.
This man drew his sword and committed suicide without any hesitation, which shows that he was extremely loyal to "Excalibur Villa".
One or two such people may be just ordinary, but if there are dozens or hundreds of them, even if they don't know martial arts, as long as they get together, they are enough to impress any master in the world.
They are fearless and have no regard for their lives. They are definitely capable of exchanging their own lives for others'. Moreover, these people are all experts in kendo.
Li Muchan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the wind direction. When he saw the breeze blowing over the mountain, he immediately ordered in a concentrated voice, "Take the medicine and set off the smoke!"
In an instant, all the members of the Qinglong Society took out a wax-sealed pill from their arms and put it into their mouths.
Immediately afterwards , dozens of figures flashed out, each carrying a black box half a person's height. They scattered along the lakeside, then squatted on the ground, placed the box, and pulled the mechanism on it.
With a "click" sound, a gap slowly opened on one side of the black box, and thick smoke overflowed from it.
What was even more terrifying was that the thick smoke was actually green, with black waves rolling in it and flames rising up, which was terrifying.
This smoke is called "Yingfeng Jile Powder". It is a poisonous smoke refined in "Jiledong" in Miaojiang. Anyone who smells it will fall down in the wind, and their hands and feet will become sore and weak, like a lamb to be slaughtered.
But I saw the green smoke rising up, swaying in the wind, spreading to the lake like morning mist, and then sweeping across the green mountains.
The originally dead silent forest suddenly became noisy.
"Zipline!"
As soon as the words came out, several pitch-black iron chains with the sound of metal leaped out from the night, like a black python, and headed straight for the green hills across the lake.
A flying rope was stretched across the sky. Without any instructions, all the disciples of the Qinglong Society flew up, stepped on the iron rope, and crossed the lake.
At this moment, murderous intent arose.
In the lake, bubbles suddenly appeared, followed by dozens of figures rising from the water, swords in hand. The cold sword light filled the lake, making people's hair stand on end.
But before they could make a move, a barrage of hidden weapons were thrown at them, and blood splattered all over their bodies.
After a brief confrontation, several bright blood-red spots appeared on the surface of the lake.
"Seventh Dragon Leader, you will stay behind for now!"
The Sixth Dragon Head left a word and looked at the Fifth Dragon Head again. They both let out a long roar, flew onto the surface of the lake, stepped on the duckweed to cross the water, stepped on the waves, and killed several people lurking in the water while using the force of their leap. Then they leaped into the air like a flying crane, and when they landed again, they had already reached the other side.
In just a moment, a shocking sword light suddenly appeared in the night above the green hill opposite, breaking through the air and heading straight for the two of them.
“Die!!”
"I'll let you die first!"
The war broke out instantly.
The originally dark forest was suddenly lit up by torches, and in a blink of an eye, it became a continuous stretch, illuminating the green mountains, and human figures were seen everywhere.
“Kill!”
Countless figures swooped down.
Li Muchan's pupils trembled, and a trace of struggle flashed across his eyes. Then he narrowed his eyes, and his voice seemed to become extremely hoarse and sinister at this moment. He said: "Then... kill!"
After saying this, he rolled up his black robe and turned into a black cloud, floating on the lake surface. He extended and retracted his palms, and the two Xie brothers who had just emerged sank back into the lake.
On the iron chains, countless disciples of the Qinglong Society quickly climbed to the other side, with swords and knives flashing, carrying billowing poisonous smoke, and rushing towards the enemy with murderous eyes.
On the other side, Murong Ying had led his men across the water and up the mountain at some point, swords in hand, heading straight for the Divine Sword Villa.
On this day, on Cuiyun Peak and Green Water Lake, murderous intent soared to the sky! !
