Cranes and Blazing Sun - C18

Chapter XVIII: The Bashan Mountains

The forest was covered with intoxicating green trees, spreading out their yellow-green branches. It swayed gently in the breeze, rustling as if it was whispering. The sounds of laughter seemed to burn the entire forest like a demon.

A sweet and melodious laughter came from within the forest, “You guys don’t want the divine bead, so leave it to me.” It was as if a human figure flew over, and it was extremely quick. The gray-robed elder was overly hurt, but he was also caught off guard. The divine bead in his hand was actually snatched away by her.

The grey-robed elder turned around, baring his teeth as he said, “Who is it?” His hair stood on end and he was obviously enraged to the extreme.

A peerless beauty stood ten zhang away, Zhang Qingyun could not help but exclaim, “Demonic Face Poison King Hua Ruyan.”

Hua Ruyan giggled and said, “I didn’t think that there would be someone who would still be thinking about me. Thank you for your divine beads. ”

Lei Qiuting pouted and said, “You’re not shy. Who’s still thinking about you?”

The gray-robed elder slashed with his sword and said, “Stop, leave the divine bead behind.” The voice was as loud as thunder. It caused the forest to shake. He appeared to be awe-inspiring and unstoppable.

With a hu sound, a tall and thin figure landed in front of the gray-robed elder and said, “Elders Dian Cang and Dian Cang really do live up to their name. Such profound inner strength is rarely seen.”

Fatty and Second Sister were also rushing over from the forest path, standing beside Hua Ruyan.

The face of the gray-robed elder changed as he said, “Who would’ve thought that the four elders of the Frost God Realm would appear on this mountain today?” I must become my enemy. ”

The tall and thin guy said, “I don’t dare.” The Cold Ice Sect has always kept the nine great sects in check. Today, they are taking care of Sect Leader Cang because he was unlucky. ”

The grey-robed elder said, “Regarding the matter of Cang, there’s no need for outsiders to interfere. We of the Cold Ice Sect thank you for your kindness. Return the divine bead to me.”

Hua Ruyan smiled seductively and said, “How can you, an old man, be so tactless? The Dian Cang and the Cang brothers lost an elder. Could it be that you have a deep friendship and want to rush over to meet him? ”

The gray-robed elder flew into a rage, and said, “Then we will have to see if you have the ability to do so.” His voice stopped the sword, and his attack was fast and fierce.

Hua Ruyan was startled. She never thought that this old man would be so fierce. She immediately gathered her energy and ran behind a big tree. She said, “You’re a man, how can you bully a weak woman like me?”

The grey-robed elder said, “This bead was taken by my Junior Martial Brother after losing his life. How could I allow you to take it?”

The tall and skinny guy laughed and said, “The Five Elements Sword Technique’s moves are indeed powerful. I also want to be enlightened.” With a leap, he aimed his sword at the Spirit Queen’s Acupoint on the gray-robed elder’s back.

Hua Rui dodged once again. The gray-robed elder rotated his arm and circled around a big tree. He then raised his sword and crossed the Milky Way. They slashed at the tall and thin sword, and as the two swords clashed, sparks flew in every direction.

The gray-robed elder paid no heed to the tall and thin elder as he attacked Hua Ruyan with another sword attack. He wholeheartedly wanted to take back the Vermillion Bird Divine Pearl. This sword was extremely fast, and the longsword was like a sky full of stars as it urgently covered her entire body.

Hua Ruyan could not dodge. She raised her sword to meet the incoming attack. Suddenly, she felt a strong force pressing down on her. With a “dang” sound, the sword split in two, one of his wrists had been cut off by the edge of the sword. A grey shadow flashed before his eyes, and the pearl in his left hand was also in the hands of the gray-robed elder.

The old man was as fast as a meteor and passed by in the blink of an eye. Second Sister had gained weight. She was tall and thin, and she wasn’t slow either. She moved her body and surrounded the gray-robed old man in a triangular formation.

Seven young men and seven long swords instantly formed a perimeter, surrounding the three of them.

Hua Ruyan quickly pressed a few acupoints on her wrist. Stopping the bleeding, the gray-robed elder said, “All of you, step back. Dian Cang can’t be destroyed in this battle. He has to keep the elites of my faction.”

An older disciple said, “Senior Master, we are willing to live and die with Dian Cang.”

You are the Dian Cang Sect’s Dian Cang Qi Ying, right? “As expected, they all died too early. It’s just that there’s something different about them.” He pointed his sword towards the disciple’s chest.

The disciple hastily retracted his sword, and with his left hand blocking the blade, he pushed out with both of his palms. The tall and thin sword stabbed into the disciple’s sword, and the disciple’s lower body fell down at the speed of a thousand jin.

The disciple did not move an inch as the slim and tall sword was bent. He secretly channeled his inner strength, and with a shake of his arm, the sword shot out. The disciple was sent flying three or four feet back. He fell to the ground and spat out three or four mouthfuls of blood. He fainted.

The grey-robed elder said, “You guys still want to leave? Do you want all of our sect’s elites to die in this mountain?” With that, his figure flashed as he gave the Vermillion Bird Divine Pearl in his hand to a female disciple. “Lulu, quickly bring the disciples back to the mountain. Protect the divine beads and ask Shaolin and Wu Dang for help.”

The female disciple, Lulu, said, “No, Master, your disciple will stay by Master’s side. Protect the divine beads together. ”

Zhang Qingyun walked over to help the fallen disciple up. Luck had helped him push through his acupoints, and the disciple slowly woke up. He quickly sat up and began to channel the Qi that Zhang Qingyun had brought in. His body instantly felt comfortable. He stood up and said, “Thank you for saving me, Young Hero.”

Zhang Qingyun slightly waved his hand, trying to tell him not to be too polite. He walked to the tall and thin man’s side and said, “The grand head of the Four Great Elders of the Ice Cult. “He’s actually bullying the younger generation. He’s truly bringing honor to the Cold Ice Sect.”

The lanky youth laughed out loud and said, “Brat, I did not settle the score with you, but you still managed to stand up for yourself.” It looks like Freezing Sky Clan has allowed two of our four divine pearls to gather here. ”

Zhang Qingyun said, “That will depend on if you have the ability to do so.”

The tall and thin guy said, “Good move.” He concentrated his Qi, and his zhen qi went straight through the sword tip. He knew how powerful this little kid’s palm strike was, so he was on full alert. Unexpectedly, Zhang Qingyun had made a turn midway and changed his direction to Fatty’s. Even though the fatty was fat, his movements were nimble. With a flutter of his feet, he retreated three feet.

Zhang Qingyun suddenly grabbed hold of the gray-robed elder’s arm and leaped up. He lightly tapped on the tree branch a few times and brought the elder out of the encirclement. “Senior, please lead the disciples of your sect away first. Leave this place to me.”

The grey-robed elder said, “Young Hero is a righteous one. We will always remember this in our hearts. However, how can Dian Cang let this young Hero take the risk alone?” The grey-robed elder continued, “Retreat, all of you.” The old man continued, “Now that the God Orbs have been retrieved, we should bring the Sect Leader’s Dharma Body. Let’s go.”

The tall and skinny guy smiled and said, “It won’t be that easy to leave.” The sound of the sword came to an end, it sounded extremely sharp and fierce.

The grey-robed elder was lucky enough to lift his sword, but he suddenly felt a tightening in his chest and could not muster up any strength. He could not help but be greatly alarmed.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Qingyun shifted his body and placed his palms together, locking the sword in place. The tip of the sword was only an inch away from the old man’s chest. The old man couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.

Zhang Qingyun turned his palms and cast the Great Net Buddha Circle, twisting the long sword into a hemp rope. He loosened his hands and the long sword spun endlessly. The tall and thin man was unable to grasp the sword in his hand. The sword fell straight to the ground, blood and flesh dripping from his palm. He couldn’t help but be shocked on the spot.

Zhang Qingyun turned around to check on the grey-robed elder. His face was turning green, and his eyes were glazed. “Senior, how are you?”

The grey-robed elder said, “I don’t know when I was poisoned, but it was extremely dangerous. I didn’t even check my cultivation, and the person who poisoned me was indeed skillful.”

Zhang Qingyun could not help but turn to Hua Ruyan and said, “Bring the antidote.”

Hua Ruyan laughed strangely and said, “He took one of my palms, I want his life.”

The grey-robed elder said, “The Poison King was indeed dangerous, but it wasn’t just when did he do it. He didn’t detect it at all.”

Hua Ruyan smiled and said, “Who asked you to be so unruly. You better not touch a woman’s body in the future.”

The gray-robed elder angrily said, “Nonsense!” Once he became angry, he found it even harder to breathe. Just when he thought that he only touched her palm when she was holding the divine bead, he didn’t expect that she would fall for his trick at that time.

Zhang Qingyun suddenly turned around and said, “Hurry up and get the antidote.” These words resounded in his ears like thunder.

Hua Ruyan said, “You can have the antidote if you want. Seeing how handsome you are, as long as you accompany me for 2 or 3 nights, I’ll give you the antidote.”

Lei Qiuting angrily retorted, “How can you be so shameless?” She drew her sword and attacked.

Zhang Qingyun’s figure flashed as he said, “Tingting, step back. This woman’s entire body is poisonous, and her hands are sinister. You are not his opponent.” The palm strike arrived after the last one, slashing out three times in succession. The palm strike was heavy and powerful beyond compare.

Halfway through, Lei Zhaoting saw Zhang Qingyun attacking first, so he had no choice but to withdraw his sword.

Hua Ruyan said, “Yet another shameless man has come to bully a weak girl.” Unfolding his body, he hastily dodged, not daring to fight him.

Zhang Qingyun said, “Are you a weak girl? You’re more poisonous than snakes and scorpions.” As he spoke, he struck out three more times. These three palm strikes were even faster and fiercer than the first three. The first shook him until his hair fluttered in the wind, and the second palm strike Zhang Qing only had the time to dodge.

Hua Ruyan could not dodge and could only receive the palm strike head on. She could only feel that the opponent’s palm strike was like a huge wave, surging and surging. All of a sudden, she could feel the Qi and blood in her chest being squeezed out by the opponent’s palm strike. With a whoosh, his body flew up into the air like a leaf. Landing on the ground, a sweet sensation welled up in his throat as blood spurted from his mouth. The third palm strike was as fast as a shadow. A wave of potential came crashing down. Seeing that Hua Ruyan had nowhere to run, he was actually blown five feet away by the green shadow. The force of the palm hit the ground directly into the wrist.

Second Sister, the tall and thin fatty knelt in unison and said, “Greetings, Sect Leader.”

The one that Zhang Qingyun was staring at was none other than Luo Haolong. Only he could save her in that one moment.

Luo Haolong handed Hua Ruyan over to the second sister. He angrily glared at Zhang Qingyun and said, “Who are you? Have this reputed one come and fight you.” He extended his arm and changed his five fingers into a claw. He swiftly grabbed forward. This grab extended from his wrist to his fingers, and its force was extremely sharp.

Zhang Qingyun moved to the side and lightly moved aside. He missed his target and arrived in second place. He moved even faster and made whooshing sounds. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a green shadow. Grab and grab at Zhang Qingyun’s mingmen acupoint. Zhang Qingyun was pressed down so hard that he couldn’t fight back. Suddenly, he heard a “chi” sound and his right arm was grabbed by Luo Haolong.

Luo Haolong suddenly felt a heavy force coming from his arm, blocking the hand claw’s downward attack. It only grabbed his sleeve. The two of them touched and the other half of his robe was held in Luo Haolong’s hand.

There were five long bloody wounds on Zhang Qingyun’s arm as blood dripped down.

Lei Qiuting was shocked and said, “Brother Yun, please be careful.” Shocked cries rang out at the same time as Luo Haolong’s claw attack.

Zhang Qingyun looked towards the source of the scream, but Lei Zhaoting’s expression was one of fear, while Miao Rufei’s were expressionless. He thought that Tingting was still the best for me, “Tingting, I’m fine.”

Luo Haolong’s face was filled with surprise, and he said, “I didn’t expect that you would be able to dodge my 36 cold claws at such a young age.” How rare. “Now try out your palm art.” As soon as he said that, his hands stretched out, and his bones creaked. His two palms fiercely pushed forward, forming a thick layer of ice wherever they passed. The wind from his palm instantly froze in front of him.

Zhang Qingyun quickly activated his Heavenly Dipper Qi and pushed it out. With a loud bang, Zhang Qingyun was sent flying three feet away. He fell to the ground, blood flowing out nonstop, his body shivering uncontrollably.

Although Luo Haolong hadn’t been pushed back, traces of blood could be seen at the corners of his mouth. He couldn’t understand it either.

Suddenly, another person laughed out loud in the forest. A figure landed on the ground. He held a long sword in his hand and landed lightly on the ground. His light yellow robe fluttered in the wind. “It seems like this treasure belongs to our Tang Sect.”

The person who came was the Thousand Li Darts Tang Jiu. In a flash, more than ten shadows appeared behind him. Tang Yu Guan, Tang Yu Ying, and the rest were all among them.

The tall one, the second sister, and the fat one rushed to Luo Haolong’s side and stood in front of him to protect him.

Lei Qiuting hurriedly helped Zhang Qingyun up. Seeing that his face was as pale as a sheet of paper, she couldn’t help but be shocked. “Brother Yun, how are you doing?”

Miao Rufei bent over and slowly injected her true energy into the shanzhong point in his chest. At first, she felt that there was still a trace of warmth in his chest, but it became colder and colder. Miao Rufei’s body couldn’t help but tremble.

The old man in the grey robe said, “Miss, please stop. The inner force you have cultivated is extremely yin. Luo Haolong’s palm power is also extremely cold. This will only worsen his injuries.”

Lei Qiuting anxiously asked, “Then what should we do?” Her expression was one of urgency, and her eyes were brimming with tears. Falling onto Zhang Qingyun’s face, he found that it had turned into ice. Only then did he notice that his eyebrows and hair were covered with a thin layer of frost.

The grey-robed elder said, “It takes extremely Yang inner force to dispel the cold poison in his body. I, the Primordial Profound Art, managed to attain inner force at the highest level. Unfortunately, I am too poisoned to move. ”

Miao Rufei said, “That doesn’t mean she didn’t say.”

The grey-robed elder said, “Although Dian Cang and the Seven Ying’s inner force are not very high, but with the strength of seven people, they might be able to stop the cold poison.”

Dian Cang and Qi Ying immediately sat down cross-legged. He channeled the Primordial Profound Ark into Zhang Qingyun.

Tang Jiu gave a weird laugh and said, “Bring the pearl first.” His sword quickly pierced toward Lu Lu’s back.

Miao Rufei said tenderly, “You’re courting death.” With a clank, the long whip wrapped itself around his longsword. Using his strength, he threw Tang Jiu’s long sword into a big tree and nailed it to the tree.

Tang Jiu couldn’t help but be dumbstruck. Before the opponent could make a move, his longsword had already flown out. He actually didn’t dare to move on the spot.

Since Miao Rufei’s whip had arrived, it pierced the big hole in his chest. Tang Yu Guan was shocked, he thought to himself that all the acupoints on his chest were human body points, if he hit them, how would he still be alive, he shouted, “Tang Jiu, be careful.” He drew his sword and stabbed out. With a clang, the sword and whip clashed and were blocked in that thousandth of a second.

Tang Jiu seemed to have awoken from a dream as cold sweat began to pour out from his forehead.

Miao Rufei frowned slightly as she struck out with her hand once more, aiming for the center of Tang Yu Guan’s brow.

Tang Yu Guan was surprised again and hastily raised his sword to block. He thought to himself, “This girl can actually move such a long whip so smoothly. It seems like there are many experts here.”

Seeing that a long whip had forced Tang Yu to the point where he had no chance to fight back, Tang Jiue immediately raised his sword and attacked Miao Shui Rui’s back. His left hand simultaneously struck out to the right. He thought that even if he dodged the sword move, he would definitely strike out to the right at the same time. If he didn’t die, he would at least be seriously injured.

Sure enough, Miao Rui Fei heard a sharp sound and hurriedly moved to the right side. Tang Jiu was overjoyed. His palm landed on Miao Rufei’s back. The big acupoints at the back of his waist, upon seeing Miao Ruofei completely oblivious to it, were greatly astonished. He saw the whip strike Tang Yu Guan’s body, causing his skin and flesh to be lacerated. Fresh blood. Just as she wanted to withdraw her palm, she felt a strong force on her body. She was shocked that she was unable to withdraw her palm.

Miao Rufei raised her left hand and hit the Spirit Altar on Tang Ju’s back.

Tang Jiu fell to the ground with a palm strike, unable to get up for a long time.

Miao Rufei replied coldly, “Who dares to snatch it?” Looking at the Tang Sect members …

Everyone in the Tang Sect was shocked and speechless. Who would still dare to go up?

Before he finished speaking, the shadow of a person had already appeared in front of Miao Rufei. This person was over seven feet tall, was tall and powerful, had a full beard on his face, and had a pair of steel hairpins on his back. The person who came was the Huang Mountain Heavenly Dipper Sect’s Sect Leader, Ling Zongxu.

Miao Rufei said, “Judging from your extraordinary bearing, are you here to snatch the divine bead as well?”

Ling Zong Xu said, “How can you say it’s stealing? This God’s Pearl is originally owned by the martial arts world, could it be yours?”

Miao Rufei replied, “I don’t have a pearl. The pearl is in the hands of the Dian Cang Sect. For the sake of guarding this Vermillion Bird Divine Pearl, the Dian Cang Sect Leader was even killed,” as she said this, she couldn’t help but look towards Hua Ruyan. He then said, “You seem like someone with an extremely high status. Don’t tell me you are also doing this thing like a bandit?”

Ling Zongxu replied, “The God Orbs are not everything to him. Back then, when he invaded the Central Plains, all the sects suffered losses. How could I take my own things and be a bandit? You woman, your words are extremely ridiculous. ”

Lei Zhaoting saw that the ice on Zhang Qingyun’s body started to melt, and before long, Zhang Qingyun was able to sit up on his own. Suddenly, Seven Ying felt a strong force rebounding over, and they could not control it as they all fell to the ground.

Lei Zhaoting exclaimed, “What’s going on?”

Lulu covered her chest with one hand and slowly sat up, then slowly said, “We don’t know either. I can only feel that the young hero’s inner force has rebounded from the inner force that we had channeled into him. ”

The young hero’s inner force was initially dispersed by Luo Haolong, and the young warrior’s inner force was transferred into the Mysterious Technique, which gathered a small part of the boy’s inner force, allowing the young hero to be able to circulate his inner force and adjust his own condition after he had broken through the Eight Meridians. The young hero’s inner force was much higher than the young hero’s, and the young hero’s inner force was only able to hit the ground after getting hit by Luo Haolong’s inner force.

He saw Zhang Qingyun’s body emit a thin layer of fog, his face began to turn red, Lei Qiuting clapped her hands and laughed, “Brother Yun, I knew you would be fine.”
