Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 195: Night Attack on the Danshui River

Ling Kongzi and Jin Xingzi had heard the conversation between Wuzhan and Wanjiao outside. Seeing Wanjiao rushing out of the mansion wiping her tears, they hurried into the room and saw Wuzhan sitting on the ground staring blankly out the window with a pale face. They were so scared that they hurried forward to help him sit on a chair and advised, "Little Master, let's go chase Little Master's Wife back!"

Seeing Wuzhan slowly shaking his head, Lingkongzi said anxiously: "Little Master, Master's Wife almost lost her life for you, but you are not grateful and you are cold to her. Where in the world can you be such a person? We both can't stand it. We persuaded Master's Wife to come back, and you should apologize to her."

Jin Xingzi said, "That's right. Miss Yu is not as cute and pretty as Master's Wife. She only thinks about herself and is not good to Master. She is not as good as Master's Wife. Master is very smart, why is he so confused about this matter? Besides, we monsters speak human language, so why don't we have a common language? I think Master clearly looks down on us monsters!"

Ling Kongzi said: "Although we demons are dull, we are much kinder than you humans. The young master's wife is even more loyal and righteous. How could she be rude to the young master? She was clearly acting like a spoiled child..."

"Stop talking!" Wuzhan shouted, "I need to be quiet for a while, all of you go out!"

When the two demons saw Wuzhan showing a rare look of anger, they knew it was useless to persuade him further and walked out of the house with a sigh.

After Wanjiao left, Wuzhan realized that the person he really loved was Wanjiao. If he could live another year, he would never hurt her heart this time. But now his strange disease has deteriorated to the extreme and he may die at any time. He really doesn't want to leave Wanjiao with long-term loneliness because of that short-lived happiness, so he can only let Wanjiao hate him. After he dies, the hatred will disappear. This is Wuzhan's choice of love. The deeper the love, the more painful the heart. No one can understand his feelings, and no one can understand his difficulties.

……

The water is clear and the sky is blue, and the mountains are all red. Wuzhan, along with Jinxingzi, Lingkongzi, and a dozen people from the Xiandao Academy, including Jiang Yuan, Qingyang, Ruogu, and Hebilu, left Xianyang on a ship. They have been sailing downstream for three days and arrived at Hedong County. They landed, changed to horses, and rushed to Changping.

Wuzhan was in poor health and had to ride in a carriage with his eyes closed all day, without saying a word.

Qingyang and the others were secretly worried when they saw Wuzhan's condition. They were afraid that he would die before reaching Danzhu Ridge in Changping. They asked Wuzhan about the magic formula of the five-colored stone several times, but Wuzhan refused to answer. They were so angry that they gritted their teeth, but they could do nothing.

At night, there were no villages around, so they had to camp in the forest beside the Dan River and light a bonfire. Wuzhan kept coughing in the tent. Jiang Yuan and others came to show their concern and injected their true energy into Wuzhan to stop his coughing.

After Wuzhan calmed down his breathing, he said softly: "Thank you for your help, Master. I feel much better now."

Jiang Yuan said hurriedly, "Your Excellency is now a member of our Xiandao Academy, and we are working together for the great cause of His Majesty. It is my duty to protect your Excellency." He sighed and continued, "It is just that I felt your pulse just now, and I am really worried. Logically speaking, your Excellency should not travel long distances in your current condition."

Wuzhan said: "I know my own body best, so you don't have to worry."

Qing Yang couldn't help but ask: "In your current state, even if you enter the cave, can you subdue the demon?"

Wuzhan replied: "Then I will give you the five-colored stone, and you go and subdue it."

"If you don't tell us the spell, how can we subdue him?"

"I don't need any spells to drive these five-colored stones. If you can do it, then the Imperial Master won't need me. Just focus on leading the way for us."

Jiang Yuan hurriedly gave Qingyang a look, then turned to Wuzhan and said, "He is too anxious. I hope you can forgive me. It's getting late. You should have a good rest." After that, he took Qingyang out of the tent.

……

In the dead of night, Jiang Yuan could be heard shouting in the distance: "There is poisonous gas, hold your breath and protect the adults!"

More than a dozen people were very alert. After hearing the order, they drew their weapons and quickly came to the unobstructed tent to protect it and be on guard all around.

"Princess, you, a dog Taoist priest, really have a sharp nose. It's a pity that you found out too late." With the sound of silver bell-like laughter, a group of people walked out of the forest.

Jiang Yuan and others looked carefully and saw that the person who spoke was Yu Sisi, followed by Zhishui, Ji Jie, Yang Yingjie, and six others.

Jiang Yuan frowned, obviously quite surprised by the appearance of these people, stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a cold voice: "The National Master is looking for you, I didn't expect you would dare to come here to die!" While he spoke, two people from the Xiandao Academy staggered and fell down.

Yu Sisi hugged her arms and said with a sweet smile: "You have been poisoned by the poisonous smoke of this girl. Your internal strength is completely lost. If you force yourself to exercise your energy, your meridians will be severed. If you are sensible, hand over Wuzhan and we will spare your lives." Jiang Yuan sneered: "You think you can threaten me with this poisonous smoke? Do you think my cultivation is in vain?" With a "Teng" sound, a blue fire sword suddenly condensed in his hand.

Zhishui said in a deep voice: "I will get rid of him, and you go and rob Wuzhan!" The Emperor Xuanyuan's sword was unsheathed, flashing with cold light, and killed Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan said, "You were severely injured by the national teacher and are now half disabled. You want to kill me? Just try!" He swung his sword to block. The two swords collided with a loud bang and strong winds scattered. It was indeed as previously judged, Shishui's strength had been greatly reduced, otherwise it would have been difficult for Jiang Yuan to resist this magnificent sword.

Qingyang, Ruogu and He Bilu were not poisoned. They stood in front of the tent and fought with Ji Jie, Yu Sisi and Yang Yingjie. For a moment, colorful lights flew, figures shuttled, weapons collided with clanging, and shouts continued.

Lingkongzi and Jinxingzi stood in front and behind Wuzhan's tent without taking any action, watching the two groups fighting fiercely by the river, while Wuzhan hid in the tent and did not show up.

While Jiang Yuan was fighting against Shisui, he was thinking, their action this time was very secretive, only the top leaders of Xiandao Academy and Wuzhan knew about it, how could their whereabouts be leaked? Moreover, these people intended to kidnap Wuzhan, obviously they knew the purpose of their action, who leaked the secret?
Now Wuzhan is holding the five-colored stone. Getting him means having an army of 200,000 undead. If he is kidnapped by Ji Jie, the situation will become very bad. We cannot let them kidnap Wuzhan at any cost.

Although Shisui suffered internal injuries, he still could not defeat him with the Xuanyuan Emperor Sword. Delaying like this was not a solution. The National Master, Daoxuan and others were tracking this group of rebels. Maybe they were nearby. If he sent out a distress signal, they would surely come. Thinking of this, he feinted two swords, flew out, took out the scroll from his arms and pulled it. With a scream of "whoosh..." it went straight up into the night sky, and with a "boom..." there was an explosion in the sky, forming colorful light bands, like blooming chrysanthemums, slowly falling down, and could be seen within a hundred miles.

Shishui laughed coldly and said, "It's too late to call for help now!" He swung the giant sword, a flash of silver light appeared, and stabbed Jiang Yuan directly.

Jiang Yuan swung his sword to block, but the sword light suddenly disappeared, and he actually blocked it in vain. At this time, the sword light suddenly appeared behind the fire sword, and went straight to his right rib. Jiang Yuan hurriedly turned sideways to block it. With a "swish", the huge sword broke through the Taoist robe and left a bloody mark on his right rib. Jiang Yuan hurriedly covered the wound. Fortunately, his ribs were not injured. Even so, he was frightened.

At the same time, Ji Jie used his sword to push Qingyang away, flew up, and stabbed Jin Xingzi with his long sword with a sound.

Jin Xingzi was well prepared. He was holding back his fire and waiting for the other party to attack. Before the sword reached him, the fire spurted out. With a "puff", the blazing flame rushed towards Ji Jie.

Ji Jie saw that the fire was too fierce. If he didn't avoid it, he would be burned to a charred bone. He moved his body to the side to avoid the flames, turned his sword, and slashed it upwards at an extremely fast speed.

Jin Xingzi had never expected that Ji Jie could dodge the raging fire so close to him. He was slightly surprised, and the sword had already slid to his right shoulder. Jin Xingzi jumped high and although he dodged the dangerous sword, Ji Jie rushed into the tent. It was too late to turn around and stop him, so he hurriedly shouted: "Little Master, get out of the way!"

"Wow..." The tent was split open by Ji Jie's sword. There was no one else in the tent except him. Looking up, Wuzhan had been pulled into the air by Lingkongzi.

"It's actually a monster!" Ji Jie picked up a stone, squeezed it with his hand, broke it into several pieces, and swung his hand, "whoosh..." Several pieces of broken stones hit Lingkongzi, who had not yet flown high in the air, with strong force.

Ling Kongzi flapped his wings hurriedly to avoid the gravel that was hitting him. With a "snap", a stone hit his left wing, breaking the bone. With a sharp pain, he groaned and fell down without any obstacles. Jin Xingzi and Qingyang rushed towards Ji Jie at the same time and forced him to retreat.

Yu Sisi took the opportunity to throw out several bracelets to hit Lingkongzi who was falling. "Dangdang!" Sparks flew everywhere, and those bracelets were knocked away by Ruogu's golden talisman.

Yang Yingjie leaped up and rushed to Ling Kongzi's side. He closed his iron fan and stabbed Ling Kongzi, "Leave Brother Wu to me!"

Before Lingkongzi could land steadily, he saw Yang Yingjie stabbing at him, and shouted loudly, and a sword of air came out of his mouth, "Bang!" Yang Yingjie spread out his iron fan, blocked the sword, turned gracefully, and drew a silver light, slashing at Lingkongzi's arm.

Ling Kongzi had no choice but to retract his arm that was holding Wuzhan, but he didn't know that Yang Yingjie was just feinting. In an instant, Wuzhan was taken away by Yang Yingjie.

"Haha, sorry for offending you, brother Wu, come with me!" Yang Yingjie picked up Wuzhan and rushed towards the river.

Seeing that Yang Yingjie had taken Wuzhan away, Jiang Yuan wanted to chase after him, but was entangled by Zhishui. He was anxious and shouted, "Stop him quickly!" But the others were also entangled and could only watch Yang Yingjie escape with Wuzhan.

In a blink of an eye, Yang Yingjie had left the fighting crowd behind with Wuzhan and rushed to the river. Just when he was feeling proud, he suddenly felt something entangled under his feet. He didn't know what was going on. With a "plop", he was pulled into the water and drank a few mouthfuls of river water. In danger, he hurriedly swung his fan to cut off the thing wrapped around his ankle. It turned out to be a vine. At this time, he felt a black shadow passing by. His palm hurt, and Wuzhan was taken away by the black shadow. When he jumped out of the water, there was no shadow on the water. He shouted to the river bank: "Hurry up, Wuzhan has been taken away!"

When the people on the river bank heard Yang Yingjie's shout and saw that Wuzhe was no longer in his hands, they had not expected such a sudden change to happen. They stopped fighting and rushed to the river, alerting the enemy and starting to search.
