Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 210: The Eagle of the Blue Sky (Part )
The sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder rumbled, and heavy rain poured down.

The raindrops were as big as soybeans, and the tiles on the central hall of the Wen family were hit with crackling sounds.

But in the hall below, there was an eerie silence for a moment.

There was an unsettling quality to old man Dian Cang's words, even though they were not loud.

His face turned red as if burning, and his white hair and beard flew and floated with his strong energy.

That indifferent look would never be something that could be displayed by someone trapped in danger, if it weren't for his superb acting skills.

All of a sudden.
The short and thin old man in the straw raincoat was so nervous that he hesitated in his steps.

When old man Dian Cang saw this, his pair of eagle eyes suddenly changed from calm to sharp, adding a hint of fire, and the words in his mouth suddenly became sharp!

"What? You don't dare to take action?"

The pale-faced man shouted angrily, "From your appearance, you are undoubtedly deeply poisoned by the Bituo Cordyceps. Why are you pretending?"

He appeared angry, but his words were actually testing.

But old man Dian Cang was very frank: "It is true that I was poisoned."

"But you hesitated. Don't you have confidence in your poison skills?"

"The Western Region Poison Sect is disappointing."

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of people in straw raincoats became furious.

"court death!"

Several loud shouts rang out from the crowd, and nine of the men's raincoats shook violently. They reached behind them and pulled out strange weapons from under their raincoats.

It was a snake staff that was more than four feet long.

A small red snake made of red copper was coiled around the staff and extended to the tip of the staff. A ferocious snake head poked out of its mouth, with sharp teeth. When the mechanism above moved, the silver teeth immediately turned black and delivered a deadly poison.

"Set up the poison formation!" the short old man instructed coldly. After he gave the order, he hid his hands in his sleeves and walked around the formation.

"Yes!"

Nine people responded at the same time.

To deal with a poisoned person, their original intention was just to rush forward, but using the poison array at this time was extremely cautious.

Zhao Shu glanced at old man Dian Cang, and at the signal of his eagle eyes, she and Zou Songqing flew backwards.

As figures were flying around, nine men in straw raincoats came forward with snake staffs in their hands.

They set up a formation under their feet and surrounded Shang Sufeng.

Zou Songqing and Zhao Shu on the side were a little surprised.

I have rarely heard of the formation of the Western Region Poison Sect, and originally thought it was just an ordinary trick.

But when these nine people walked around the hall, they were either tense or relaxed, and they were able to control their movements freely, which implied multiple changes.

The two of them stared at it intently and discovered that this formation had a great origin.

However, I can't name it.

Only when all nine of them attacked together did they suddenly realize!

Nine people each held a snake staff. The first attack was made with the staff in the right hand, and the left hand was raised horizontally in front of the body, and a black and white staff came out from the sleeve!
The so-called staff in the sleeve is a black and white ring snake hidden in the sleeve.

The snake shot out, straight as a stick.

A hissing sound filled the hall.

Nine people and nine snakes suddenly formed nine people and eighteen staffs. With the help of wonderful footwork, the snake staffs and poisonous snakes worked together.

This time.
Anyone with a little experience in the martial arts world would know the origin of this poison formation.

Isn’t this the Eighteen Arhats formation, one of Shaolin’s unique skills?
However, it evolved in a way that turned it into a Western Region Poison Array.

Poisonous snakes and snake staffs came from all directions, like eighteen poisonous bridges, collapsing towards the center. The impact was extremely fierce, locking the whole body in place, and bringing with it a poisonous smell that was designed to kill people!
This time!

The old man Dian Cang's hair and beard were standing on end, and the violent wind seemed to be able to blow away the clouds on the top of the high cliff of Mo Ying.

When he drew his sword
A vast sword sounded, and a clanging noise suddenly arose, suppressing the tongues of the snakes!
When an ordinary expert draws his sword, the sword will ring and then there will be sword light.

But the strange thing is.
After old man Dian Cang drew his sword, one could not see where the sword in his hand was.

Instead, there was a little red light!
The red light was like fire, surpassing the fiery red on the old man's face, swirling and shining around his body.

It’s pouring rain and autumn is coming to Yunnan and Guizhou.

But at this moment, there was no coldness in the Wen family hall. At that moment, everyone felt a wave of burning fire.

It’s like being by a bonfire and suddenly a strong wind blows and blows the entire bonfire onto your face!
The snake is the eagle's prey.

The fiery red light fluttered in the air, like a hunting hawk swooping down from the sky!
The fierce and burning sword force coming towards them suffocated the people in straw raincoats around them, and then they were terrified!

"Bah~!!"

Dark red blood splattered in all directions.

The nine poisonous snakes were separated in an instant when the red light passed through them, and they fell to the ground from the air.

The corpses of these venomous snakes all emitted green smoke from the places where they were cut by the swords, and they smelled like rust, as well as a bit of the smell of burnt flesh and half-cooked skin.

Humans are smarter than snakes.

Seeing the fierce sword power, the nine people who set up the poison formation each took a defensive stance, preparing to maintain a stalemate according to the formation.

But
Their speed could not match that of old man Dian Cang, so they could only become prey.

The red light chased after them, and the four men in straw raincoats who were a little slower screamed in an instant!
Once these four people died, the formation was immediately broken.

The other five people panicked and pressed the trigger in the snake staff again, and black poisonous water gushed out.

"boom!"

The body of a companion who was stabbed by the sword was blown away by the huge force and blocked the poisonous water. Behind him, a figure flew by and rushed to the other five people.

With no other choice, the five men used all their strength to poke the snake staffs at the old man Dian Cang.

But
The elusive nature of Dian Cang's martial arts was fully displayed by Shang Sufeng's eagle-like momentum. His agility was so great that it was impossible for these five snake staffs to capture it.

The snake staff passed through the afterimage of the fluttering sleeves. When the five men in straw raincoats saw the red light appear before their eyes, a large amount of blood burst out from their chests!
The moment they were stabbed with the sword, they let out a scream of agony.

This solid sword seemed invisible and could not be captured by the eyes, but the body could feel it clearly.

The sword slashed at his body, and wherever it passed, his blood seemed to boil.

This must be the most terrifying sword they have ever seen in their lives!
"bang bang bang"

Corpses with terrified faces fell to the ground one after another, next to the corpses of the poisonous snakes.

Shang Sufeng stood in the middle of the corpses. He stopped and the people around him finally saw the invisible sword.

Blood was dripping from the tip of the sword, and a few wisps of white steam were coming out.

Anyone can see that there is a burning fire on this sword!
The other men in straw raincoats stared at old man Dian Cang and retreated together.

No one expected the old man's swordsmanship to be so terrifying!
Even though he was poisoned, it only took him a dozen breaths to break the nine-man poison formation and kill nine people and nine snakes.

The short and thin old man opened his eyes wide. It was the first time he showed such a frightened look in the Wen family.

Looking up and down at the old man Dian Cang, I felt a sense of disbelief.

He saw that Shang Sufeng's face was getting even redder.

The old man Dian Cang has a head of white hair, so the black gas rising from his head is particularly conspicuous.

The short old man finally came to his senses.
"What a powerful internal energy! Although my Poison Sect's Bi Tuo Cordyceps poison has failed before, the fact that you can use your powerful internal energy to forcibly burn the poison has really broadened my horizons."

Shang Sufeng's Fiery Sun Power was constantly in operation, and he exhaled burning air while speaking:
"Although the poison is strong, it will eventually turn into ash under the power of fire."

Zou Songqing stood behind the master. He was practicing the Lieyang Gong together with the master and could understand the meaning of the master's words very well.

I immediately burned the poison according to what the master said.

but
He had a method to remove poison, but he couldn't circulate the Fiery Sun Power to this level.

The most yang and powerful martial arts have the effect of resisting poison, and the Fiery Yang Kung naturally has one of them.

But like Shang Sufeng, one must practice the Fiery Sun Skill to perfection. Only with the Fiery Sun’s power can one display his magic.

I felt relieved that I didn't have to worry about my master's condition.

However, the people of the Western Region Poison Sect who did not know the Dian Cang technique did not think so.

The conversation between the short old man and Shang Sufeng undoubtedly reminded the people of the Western Region Poison Sect.

This old man, who is a master of swordsmanship, is using his internal energy to resist the poison.

At this moment, his face was flushed even more. According to some classics of the Western Region Poison Sect, his Qi and blood were difficult to suppress and on the verge of breaking through the barrier and Chong's meridians.

"kill!"

The people from the Western Region Poison Sect were extremely decisive. They temporarily suppressed their fear and picked up their snake staffs to charge forward.

The pale-faced man who had just spoken to Zhao Shu and the strong man who was delivering the sheepskin score fragments were both among the rushing crowd.

Seven or eight figures rushed forward to block Shang Sufeng's first wave of sword light.

They are not fools. Knowing that their opponent's swordsmanship is terrifying, they naturally have to use some force.

All these people raised their hands and sprinkled the poison powder.

Ordinary poisons take very little effect on such masters with strong internal strength, or may even be useless.

The powder they sprinkled could make it impossible for a person to open his eyes. A large dose could instantly blind a person.

The poison turned into a cloud, surrounding the old man Dian Cang.

unfortunately
The fire power of the scorching sun is extremely fierce, just like the distorted flow of air above the flame when a fire is burning.

Shang Sufeng's hair and beard were all standing up, and the poisonous powder was held up by the burning waves, unable to sink and invade Shang Sufeng's face, let alone blind his eyes.

The eagle of the blue sky seemed even more elusive in the poisonous cloud.

As the poisonous cloud rose, Zhao Shu and Zou Songqing retreated one after another, dragging back Boss Wen and others who had fallen to the ground due to the poisoning.

Fiery red light flashed in the poisonous cloud. From outside the poisonous cloud, it looked like a terrifying goshawk was hunting!

Screams and sounds of falling to the ground!
Then it turned into a terrified wailing!

“Bang~~!!”

When a loud collision sound was heard, the poisonous cloud was instantly blown away by the terrifying strong wind.

Zhao Shu saw
The short and thin old man's face changed a lot.

His neck was swollen and contracted, and a strange rumbling sound came from his throat.

As he inflated and contracted his muscles, powerful forces were transmitted to his palms!
White mist rose from where Shang Sufeng and the short old man made contact. One of them was using the scorching sun palm, while the other was using a palm force that carried a chilling aura.

The blazing sun burns the snow and the cold air steams Pu'an Prefecture.
Although the old man has extraordinary abilities and special skills.

But his skills were not up to the level of old man Dian Cang. After a dozen breaths, the short old man's expression changed.

"Pfft~!"

He was seriously injured and spat out a mouthful of black poisonous blood, forcing Shang Sufeng to dodge.

Taking advantage of this respite, the old man stumbled backwards, causing chaos in the Wen family's hall.

Then he lay on the ground strangely, ignoring his injuries.

With a look of horror on his face, he jumped through the roof of the hall like a toad, and fled for his life along the tiles of the Wen family's house in the pouring rain!
There were two men in straw raincoats on the periphery who wanted to escape as well.

Zhao Shu rushed forward to cut off their retreat and left the bodies of the two men in the Wen family.

Shang Sufeng looked at the big hole on the roof, a thoughtful look on his face.

"Master, what kind of martial arts did he use just now?"

Although Zou Songqing was poisoned, he couldn't suppress his curiosity.

"This man can actually fight against you."

Shang Sufeng explained: "His martial arts are quite wonderful. Although he can't even use one breath of true energy, he can gather multiple streams of true energy into one place. This is how he can resist my master's Lieyang Gong. His true strength is not as strong as it seems."

He groaned slightly:
"I heard that the Western Poison Sect once had a Toad Kung Fu, but he practiced it in a half-hearted way. Besides, this magical skill has not appeared in the martial arts world for a long time."

Shang Sufeng shook his head slightly when he said this:
"The formations, poison techniques, and palm techniques they used just now are all different from what is recorded in our sect."

"It seems that there have been many changes in Western Region martial arts over the years, and I, the master, cannot tell the details of his roots."

"These people have endless tricks. If you meet them in the martial arts world in the future, be careful."

Zou Songqing nodded quickly.

If it weren't for the master's extraordinary skills, I would have probably fallen into the trap of the Western Region Demon Sect.

He couldn't help but look at Lan Shu who was rummaging through the corpse.

Only she would dare to rummage through the bodies of these poisonous people like this.

Even the poison of the Bituo Cordyceps has no effect on her. She is truly immune to all poisons.

The girl dug out some bottles and jars from the white-faced man's body, opened the lids and smelled the odor.

"found it!"

Holding a small brown bottle, Zhao Shu was disgusted by the smell in it, but the sound that came out of her mouth was full of surprise.

"These people from the Poison Sect are not resistant to the poison of the Bituo Cordyceps. I guess they took the antidote beforehand."

"Sure enough, the antidote is with me."

Zou Songqing did not doubt her judgment, but he was confused.

He pointed to a pile of bottles on the ground:
"How do you choose the antidote from these drugs?"

“It’s very simple.”

Zhao Shu explained simply: "The Bidu Luo flower itself is fishy and smelly, so when they used the medicine, they used the fragrance of the sand vine flower as a cover, and then used the three snake cordyceps flower as an induction to induce the toxicity."

"Just like the common sense of herbal medicine I mentioned before, pharmacology emphasizes the principle of growth and decline."

"The petals of the Bidara flower are poisonous, but the stamens are often used as part of the antidote."

"The smell of the stamens is more pungent than the petals, and without the sand vines to cover it up, it is very obvious in these bottles and jars."

"I see."

Zou Songqing nodded and gained more knowledge.

"Mr. Shang, just smelling this thing can detoxify you."

She handed over the bottle of antidote and Shang Sufeng took it with a smile.

Although he had been using his internal energy to neutralize the poison, it was quite exhausting.

Now that I have seen some of the methods used by the Western Region Poison Sect, I wonder what kind of masters they have.

Old man Dian Cang used the antidote and was not very interested in the pharmacology and toxicology.

He asked Zhao Shu:

"Have you seen my swordsmanship?"

Zhao Shu shook her head, revealing a hint of admiration: "Old Shang's sword is extremely elusive, almost invisible, I can only see the flickering flames."

Shang Sufeng gave some pointers:
"Your Jinghong Sword Technique actually has a profound meaning. When one day you forget the form of the sword technique and can send and receive its power as you please, you will be able to understand the profound meaning of the sword technique."

Zhao Shu saw old man Dian Cang using swordsmanship against the enemy, and now listened to him explaining the secret, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Shang Sufeng smiled and didn't bother him.

After Zou Songqing was detoxified, he began to help the people of Wenshan Horse Gang detoxify.

The other end.
In the pouring rain, the only short old man who had escaped by some uncanny means and survived serious injuries came to the gate of Wenshan Yiyuan.

He turned into an alley and got on a carriage that had been waiting there.

"Drive~!"

The driver wearing a straw raincoat outside hurriedly urged the horse.

There was a man in gray in the carriage, dressed very elegantly.

"Brother Yuan Su, how did you become like this?"

"What about the rest?"

"cough cough"

After a series of coughing, the short old man gasped and said, "Dead, all dead."

"How can it be!"

The gray-clothed man frowned and said, "Didn't you poison me?"

"Of course it was poisoned, but..."

The old man gritted his teeth and said, "We encountered someone who is immune to all poisons, and another person whose internal strength is so high that he can burn poison."

"We can't stay in Pu'an Prefecture any longer."

There was suddenly a hint of horror in his words:

"The old man that night was no ordinary sect leader."

“This may be a master who has realized the truth.”

The old man covered his chest and said, "If he had forced his way after me just now, I wouldn't have been able to escape today."

"what!"

The gray-clothed man's expression suddenly changed.

After all these years, how could he not know the meaning of the secrets of the martial arts world?

"The martial arts world of the north and south is truly a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers."

"Forget it. Let's not worry about the remaining fragments of the score in Pu'an Prefecture for now. Let's go to Liangdu first."

The man in gray seemed to calm down and make arrangements.

But soon.
He opened the carriage curtain again and repeatedly instructed the coachman outside:

"Hurry up."

"Leave this state capital"
