Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 199 The Dangers That Come

Qingyang immediately became alert and said in a cold voice: "Don't move!" The long sword hit He Biliu's back with a "swish". There was a hole in the back of his Taoist robe, and there was still blood underneath. You know, with so much blood, how could it be possible that he was not seriously injured.

Although Qingyang wanted to get rid of Wuzhan as soon as possible, he had to admire Wuzhan's observation, as he had already experienced it.

Jiang Yuan stood in front of He Biliu, just blocking him and Wuzhan. Although he didn't draw his sword, it could be used at any time.

He Biliu did not move, and laughed, "Qingyang, what do you mean?"

"Check your wounds and take off your robes!"

He Biliu said casually: "Okay, it's better to be careful. I will take off my Taoist robe and let you check it carefully." As he said that, he untied the Taoist robe, took it off, and handed it to Jiang Yuan in front of him.

Jiang Yuan was just about to reach out to take it, when he saw his Taoist robe suddenly spread out and cover him. He understood this sudden change, but he was already too slow if he relaxed a little. He stepped back in a hurry, stretched out his left palm, and suddenly it solidified into ice to block in front of him.

"Bang!" The iron hook broke through the Taoist robe and hit the ice, causing ice chips to fly everywhere. The iron hook's force was not dissipated yet, and it went straight to Jiang Yuan's Tanzhong.

Jiang Yuan leaned back to the side, with the long sword in his right hand raised, intending to slash He Biliu's arm. Unexpectedly, He Biliu did not avoid the sword, and the iron hook turned to stab at an angle, intending to hurt both of them. Jiang Yuan would not agree to that, and took a half step to the side to avoid the desperate stab. With a "click", He Biliu's arm broke.

However, He Biliu did not stop because of his broken arm. He stretched out his other hand and grabbed Wuzhan at an extremely fast speed, because this was his target.

By the time Jiang Yuan reacted, He Biliu had already passed by him. Although Qingyang was holding a sword and on guard, his body movements and speed were beyond his reach.

Just when He Biliu was about to touch Wuzhan, a foot came out from beside Wuzhan, with flames. Although it was not fast, the power was fierce. With a "bang", it kicked He Biliu's hand heavily.

There was still no scream, but He Biliu's body was retreating. You know, Jin Xingzi's kick was very powerful, even a tiger would be kicked away. He had been on guard behind him, so he was able to meet this kick.

Next, it was Qingyang and Jiang Yuan's swords. One sword cut off He Biliu's waist, and the other sword cut off his head. Ruogu and the disciples of Xiandao Academy were still in surprise, but the process was over.

Jiang Yuan looked at the bloodless corpse and sighed, "If it weren't for the master's keen observation, we would never have noticed it and almost let him succeed and take the master away!"

Ruogu was shocked and said, "Could it be that He Biliu was devoured by the virtual beast?"

Jiang Yuan used his sword to push aside the clothes on the corpse, and said in a deep voice, "He was not devoured by a virtual beast, but was killed by someone. The sword attacked from behind and pierced through the heart. How could a virtual beast have such ability? It seems that it is not only us who came in, but they have come in too. Since that person can control the dead, who else could it be but Fen Yuan?"

When mentioning Fen Yuan, everyone frowned. Only Xu Shi could defeat this man with such cultivation level, and Jiang Yuan might not be his opponent.

Qing Yang said: "I don't think it was Fen Yuan. Fen Yuan used a scepter, but He Biliu died by the sword."

Jiang Yuan said: "The sword is hidden in the shaft of the scepter. When he was besieged, someone saw him use it."

Ruogu asked: "Since they are here, should we retreat first and wait for the national teacher to come to our rescue?" He obviously had lost confidence.

Qingyang said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of here in a few days."

Jiang Yuan said: "The Imperial Master is now chasing after Shishui's group of rebels. If they have also come here, the Imperial Master will chase them here without our help. Now, judging from Fenyuan's choice to sneak attack us in secret, maybe he is alone, and his strength is like Shishui's, and he has not recovered yet. So as long as we are vigilant, he will have no chance to take advantage of us."

A surge of violence came, chilling people to the bone. A faint rustling sound could be heard. Except for Wuzhan, everyone's faces changed color. This violence was even more powerful than that of the Green Void Beast.

The twelve disciples of the Xiandao Academy immediately drew their weapons, guarded around Wuzhai, and focused on being on guard against the unknown virtual beast.

A black shadow appeared in the mist, as big as a millstone. The rustling sound stopped, and the black shadow also stopped. No one uttered a word, only the sword in Jiang Yuan's hand made a low humming sound.

"Swish..." The black shadow jumped up, revealing its body that was who knows how many feet long, and pounced into the crowd at a very fast speed. Jiang Yuan swung his sword at the huge black shadow, and the blue sword light broke through the air.

Everyone thought that the sword would definitely hit the black shadow, but unexpectedly, the black shadow suddenly disappeared and avoided Jiang Yuan's sword, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

"It's above my head!" Wuzhan shouted urgently.

Everyone looked up suddenly, and saw a huge centipede-like monster on the top of the wall, waving several feet long dark green sharp legs to chop down at everyone. The whole body of the monster was like a green virtual beast, covered with densely packed hideous faces, which was extremely terrifying.

The weapons moved together, the light suddenly shone, the clangs continued, the feet flew down, Jiang Yuan rose up, chopped hard, broke the long body of the centipede virtual beast, cut it in two, the virtual beast let out a piercing cry, like thousands of evil spirits were crying, the smelly green liquid poured down, countless ghost faces fled, everyone hurriedly dodged. The virtual beast fell heavily to the ground, turned into green night, leaving only a hard green shell, although no one was injured, but they were all frightened and broke out in cold sweat.

Qingyang sighed, "The wronged souls in here have already formed physical bodies. I don't know what kind of more ferocious virtual beasts we will encounter if we go forward. If that thing wakes up again, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to walk out of here alive!"

Wuzhan said coldly: "Master, are you scared, or do you have no confidence in me?"

Qingyang could no longer bear it, and with the sound of his sword, he shouted angrily: "Don't think I can't kill you now!"

"Then you try it!" Jin Xingzi stepped forward and laughed.

Jiang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "We are all family members, serving His Majesty together. At this time, we need to be more tolerant and trust each other in order to accomplish great things."

Qingyang said: "He knew he was going to die, so he made us come here to die together, to avenge the murder of our master."

Wuzhan stared at Hei Tong and said coldly: "You are right, but you still came."

Jiang Yuan said: "Qingyang, don't act on impulse. We have all seen your magical power in Mount Li. You must trust your master. Besides, the Imperial Master ordered us to come here. How can you judge your master like this?"

Qingyang snorted coldly and walked forward with sword in hand.

Jiang Yuan smiled at Wuzhan and said, "He has a small temper, please forgive me, sir!"

……

Relying on Qingyang's memory, he moved forward cautiously in the criss-crossing caves. Although he did not encounter any virtual beasts, the hostility was getting stronger and stronger, making people suffocate. The ground was full of corpses, and every step he took on the corpses made a creaking sound.

According to the time for changing the oil lamps, they had already walked for two hours. In fact, everyone regretted coming here and only hoped to find the monster quickly and subdue it. Jin Xingzi and Ling Kongzi stopped bickering since they came in and no one said much.

The team stopped in a wide space to rest and replenish food. Two disciples went to relieve themselves not far away. Suddenly, they heard screams from the two and heard a "whoosh" sound. Everyone was horrified, knowing that the two had died. They rushed over to check. There was only blood and urine on the ground, but the bodies were gone.

Ruogu asked, "Could it be that Fenyuan did it again and took away the body?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, "He couldn't have escaped so quickly with two corpses, and without leaving any footsteps. I suspect it was a flying creature that attacked them while they weren't paying attention and flew away with the corpses."

Upon hearing this, several disciples' legs went limp with fear. These disciples were the elites of the Xiandao Academy and had already reached the stage of Hedao. Otherwise, why would they be sent to carry out such a difficult task? What creature was so powerful that it could have killed two people in an instant and taken them away quickly? The two of them had met with misfortune when they came out to relieve themselves together. What else would they encounter if they continued?
Ruogu asked, "Do you want to chase after him?"

Jiang Yuan said expressionlessly: "The person is already dead. What's the point of catching up with him? We need to be extra careful. Even if we need to relieve ourselves, we have to do it within our sight."

Just as everyone was still in shock, Wuzhan said in a deep voice: "It seems we are surrounded!"

Everyone looked back suddenly and were immediately horrified, to see that the dark wall was filled with countless centipede-like creatures, which were sneaking towards them silently from the ground and the top of the wall.

Jiang Yuan shouted, "Don't be afraid, protect the adults!" He took the lead and swung his sword to chop at the virtual beast closest to the stone wall.

After a strange cry, the other virtual beasts seemed to be enraged, or they had not seen delicious food for a long time. They let out buzzing and hissing sounds, as if thousands of evil spirits were wailing, and pounced on the crowd.

The whole scene was extremely tragic. Ice swords, red flames, air swords, golden talismans, and hidden weapons all attacked the ferocious and swallowing virtual beast. Green night gushed out, ghost faces flew all over the sky, and there was an incessant buzzing sound.

The crowd fought while retreating into the narrow cave. The man at the head of the formation waved his weapons to fend off the legs that were still swinging at him and the huge mouth that was swallowing him. The situation was dangerous and there was no end in sight.

If you are facing a group of ferocious enemies, at least it will be much better psychologically than visually. Although these virtual beasts cannot be said to have any cultivation, their rampant and endless attacks are unbearable for anyone. The only way is to keep resisting until the internal strength is exhausted.

When they got rid of the last virtual beast that pounced on them, they didn't know how many they had killed or how far they had retreated. They only knew that the carcasses and green liquid almost filled up the cave, and no one wanted to go back to that cave.

Everyone dragged their tired bodies away from that disgusting place and walked a long way before stopping to rest. There was a cloud on everyone's face. Two disciples were injured, but fortunately they were only superficial injuries that did not affect their movements and would heal after applying medicine.

Wuzhan began to worry and regret. The situation here was much more dangerous than he had estimated before. How could it be safe for his eldest senior brother to come here alone? What's more, he came in at different times and appeared in different places. Would the situation he encountered be worse? It was not worth it to sacrifice another life just to kill Qingyang. Qingyang owed him too many lives. It would be too easy for him to die ten times.
