Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

The sound of a spring turning could be heard from under her feet. The moment Jiang Rao turned around, she used her spiritual power to activate the jade bracelet on her wrist, causing it to expand into a ring-shaped barrier. After a moment's hesitation, she pulled Ye Shuang'er in as well.

Accompanied by the roar of gears meshing.

The wall not far away cracked like paper, and a bronze beast claw stretched out, followed by the entire body - it turned out to be a three-eyed ferocious beast covered with bronze scales and nearly three meters long. It looked like a mechanical puppet, but it was almost as flexible as a living thing. As soon as it came out, it pounced fiercely at Jiang Rao and the others!

Chapter 59: Karmic fire burns the sky!

"Back off!"

Jiang Rao pulled Ye Shuang'er back three steps quickly, raised his hand and threw out a handful of golden needles. The needle tips accurately pierced the eye sockets of the ferocious beast, but only a few points of golden light were reflected on it.

She thrust the glass lantern into Ye Shuang'er's hand, unsheathed her sword from her waist, and wielded the [Tianyuan Sword Technique] with unerring fluency and skill. Using her sixth-grade Jindan cultivation, she unleashed over a dozen sword beams in the blink of an eye. The surrounding bricks cracked like tofu sliced ​​by a hot knife, but the ferocious beast only emitted a string of sparks.

“…So hard?”

Jiang Rao frowned slightly, and then saw that behind the collapsed wall, the ferocious beast stood up with its upper body, and countless honeycomb-like holes suddenly appeared in its chest. The next second, nearly a hundred crossbow arrows enhanced by spiritual power poured out like a rainstorm!

In just a moment, the jade bracelet barrier made a wail like shattering glass!

"It's a bronze scale-armored beast. Master specifically told me about it!"

Ye Shuang'er remembered Bai Yuan's instructions and trembled as she shouted, "Its skin is incredibly tough, capable of withstanding attacks from Nascent Soul cultivators. Its third eye also has hypnotic abilities. Its only weakness is its fear of fire, but that requires extremely high temperatures... It's my fault. I should have turned at the third, illuminated exit. That way, I wouldn't have encountered it and would have gone straight to Master!"

"...What's all this nonsense?"

Jiang Rao frowned and didn't dare to fight anymore. He tore off the sword's tassel and threw it away. It transformed into a large group of butterflies to attract the attention of the ferocious beast. Then he pulled Ye Shuang'er and turned around and ran away.

in this process.

The two men suddenly felt their feet shake, and thousands of beast roars exploded in their ears. They stumbled forward for a while, and when they turned a corner, they saw several sword lights flashing in front of them. They were two other cultivators from the Tianyuan Sword Sect, rushing out from another dark room, followed by another slightly smaller bronze-scaled beast.

There was also a group of palm-sized, lizard-shaped monsters climbing out along the dome above the corridor.

"Senior Sister Jiang!"

The two monks recognized Jiang Rao and spoke immediately.

The latter didn't even turn around and pulled Ye Shuang'er over and said, "Run!"

behind.

The bronze beast had already rushed out of the room, its sharp claws plowing sparks on the ground as it ran towards them at full speed!

One of the two Tianyuan disciples was caught off guard when the first bronze beast pounced on him. Its sharp claws tore through his protective magical weapon without any hindrance, and then ripped him open. The latter only had time to scream before he exploded into a bloody mess!

Several lizards immediately pounced on the monk's body and began to chew on it.

A young talent of the fourth level of the Golden Core Realm could not even last more than three seconds in front of this ferocious beast!

The two bronze-scaled beasts, one in front and one behind, crossed the corridor in tacit understanding and continued to chase!

soon.

The second Tianyuan disciple also died tragically under the claws of two bronze beasts.

Only Jiang Rao and Ye Shuang'er were still running for their lives. The former pulled out a jade pendant from her waist and crushed it, which turned into green light and wrapped around the two of them, increasing their speed by 30%, and they barely managed to create a little distance.

"Shuang'er, there's a fork in the road ahead. Which way should we go?"

"about……"

Ye Shuang'er was a little hesitant.

After all, this was her first time in the underground palace of the Wu Nian Sect. She was shocked and scared at the moment, and her mind was already a mess. She had no way of remembering the exact route that Bai Yuan had mentioned.

"Go left!"

Jiang Rao determined a direction based on her intuition.

Just as they rushed into the corridor on the left, Jiang Rao looked back and happened to catch a glimpse of two bronze beasts stacked on top of each other. One of them jumped first, and the other took advantage of its momentum to leap up again, directly erasing the distance of 10 to 20 meters between the two sides, and then stretched out its claws to grab her and Ye Shuang'er's backs!

“…You go first!!”

Jiang Rao suddenly pushed Ye Shuang'er forward, then turned around and swung the sword. The moment the long sword condensed with spiritual power fell on the bronze beast, the latter's sharp claws also slapped her body. With just one hit, Jiang Rao's jade bracelet was covered with cracks and was on the verge of breaking!

Jiang Rao spun and retreated, only to be pounced upon by the bronze beast in front. The immense force cracked the base of her right hand, and her sword instantly slipped from her grasp. She could only stumble and use her jade bracelet to block the beast's fangs. But the jade bracelet only lasted for less than a second before exploding with a bang. Amidst a shower of jade debris, Jiang Rao was swept by the beast's tail and flung backward like a cannonball, smashing into the wall behind her!

"Second Senior Sister!!"

Amidst Ye Shuang'er's shrill cries, the ferocious beast's claw, wrapped in a dark green light, pierced straight into Jiang Rao's heart!

Facing the howling fishy wind.

Jiang Rao remained calm in the face of danger. He reached for the pendant around his neck and was about to use his best life-saving trick. But at this moment, he suddenly saw the red vertical pupil on the forehead of the ferocious beast open, and his mind immediately fell into a trance:

"Is he going to...die?"

Yes, she should have died a long time ago.

Twenty years ago, I should have died at the hands of those enemies together with my sister and brother, instead of living so cautiously and without dignity until now. All my painstaking plans seemed like a joke that could be easily wiped out in front of a truly powerful being.

That's how it ends...

Yeah.

No, that's not right... There's something wrong with that eye! It's the hypnosis that Junior Sister just mentioned!

Jiang Rao came to her senses at the last second, but it was too late. The thought of "dying" was implanted deep in her mind, causing her to suddenly lose all her strength and just want to be killed.

At the critical moment.

A dazzling light suddenly lit up from the side, illuminating the entire corridor as bright as day!

"boom--!"

The next moment, a red-gold sword beam pierced down from the dome, like a falling meteorite, burning the air to create a vacuum channel with a burnt smell!

The sharp claws of the ferocious beast began to turn red and twist three inches away from Jiang Rao's chest, and finally turned into molten iron and fell on her lapels, burning several lotus-shaped holes.

"This is……"

Jiang Rao barely opened his eyes from his dazed state, and saw the figure of a girl in red walking barefoot in the air, with a long sword in his hand emitting red flames, burning the surrounding darkness into ashes!

After landing, the girl swung her sword again, her red dress fluttering like phoenix wings in the heat wave, and the ends of her three thousand black hair burned with gilded flames.

"Burning Sky."

she says.

As the two words fell, barely a whisper, nine swirling fire dragons roared out from the sword's edge, instantly melting the twenty-foot corridor into a crimson sea. The two ferocious beasts howled shrilly in the flames, their unfired crossbow bolts in their chests exploding in the intense heat. Their once impenetrable bronze armor peeled away like wax!

Karmic fire burns the sky!!

Chapter 60 Goo, kill me!

"It is indeed the best quality 'Red Sky Sword' in Xue Yuan's possession."

"Ten times the power seems far from its limit. Those few strikes just now were probably close to the full force of a fourth-grade Nascent Soul cultivator..."

not bad.

In the sky full of flames.

Bai Yuan stepped barefoot on the ground, his small body like a solid rock, blocking Jiang Rao and Ye Shuang'er, facing the bronze-scaled beast from a distance. When the latter roared and tried to counterattack, he swung his sword again, and the "Karma Fire Burning Heaven Sword" in one hand burst out with endless high temperature, like a blooming red lotus, engulfing the two ferocious beasts!

However, after these few strikes, the color of the "Chixiao Sword" began to fluctuate between light and dark, as if most of the power of the "Sword Cultivation Technique" had been consumed.

"Forehead……"

Chi Xiao is a bit too fast. It became soft after just a few strokes?

Bai Yuan didn't dare to continue wasting his sword energy. He just used the tip of the sword to pick up a few flying bronze scales, then put the sword back into the sheath, turned around and looked back.

"Master!"

Ye Shuang'er jumped out immediately, her face full of surprise and joy as she shouted, "Master, you're finally here! That's great!"

【Volatility value +500! 】

"Ah."

Bai Yuan looked at his silly apprentice with gentle eyes, nodded slightly, and then turned his gaze to Jiang Rao.

Hmm... there really isn't any fluctuation value at all.

It turned out that her previous action of reconnoitering and rescuing people was like flirting with a blind man in front of this second disciple. In Jiang Rao's heart, it could not offset the pain that the "Blood Kite" had brought her.

The originally prepared "Plan A: Appeasement" can be directly ruled out. Now we can only use "Plan B: Fighting poison with poison" to try to break through Jiang Rao's psychological defenses...

Bai Yuan's expression remained unchanged. As he took a few steps forward, he had already made up his mind.

the other side.

Jiang Rao had slowly sat up from the collapsed ruins, covering the bleeding wound on his shoulder with one hand. With his eyes lowered, he looked at Bai Yuan's white bare feet gradually approaching, his heart also filled with mixed emotions.

The scene just now reminded her of twenty years ago.

At that moment, it was this same crimson sword light that split open the enemy's chest, dragging her, curled up among the corpses, into the light. But after that, it was this same person who pushed her into deeper darkness, making her unable to trust anyone around her anymore, and only able to go further and further down the path of manipulating people's minds, with no way back.

"Why, when you see me again, you don't even want to talk?"

Bai Yuan squatted down, approached Jiang Rao, and said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "Rao'er, what did I do wrong to make you disrespect me so much that you won't even call me 'Master'?"

"..."

Jiang Rao opened his mouth, coughed a few times, then chuckled and said, "Master's clear sword intent has indeed become more and more advanced. Just like... when he cut off my 'Red Lotus' that year, as neatly as ever!"

When she said "getting better and better", the blood scab on Jiang Rao's wound suddenly burst into fine lines, and three spikes made of blood shot out, and together with the golden hairpin in her hand, went straight to Bai Yuan's throat!

"clang!"

The crimson sword swung sideways, its blood-tinged sting fixed three inches from Bai Yuan's brow. As a bystander, Ye Shuang'er was horrified to discover that dense runes were emerging from the surrounding floor tiles, quietly forming the shape of a cage, encircling Bai Yuan—transformation into a formation!

Jiang Rao's attainments in formation techniques have reached such a level!

However, Bai Yuan seemed to have anticipated this.

She touched the ground with the tip of her sword and paused lightly. The sword energy containing the power of karmic fire ignited the runes, causing the formation of the rune array to come to an abrupt end.

Then, she waved her sleeves again, and with the help of her strong energy, she swept the injured Jiang Rao away.

"Master..."

Ye Shuang'er screamed subconsciously, but then she remembered that it was Jiang Rao who assassinated her first.

On one side was her beloved master, and on the other was her good second senior sister. With her little head, she had no idea what she should do in such a situation, so she could only look at her master and second senior sister with a pair of sad eyes, her fingers tightly clenched on the corners of her clothes, and she was extremely anxious.

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Rao was already injured, and was swept away by Bai Yuan's sleeve. His body flew three or four meters before falling to the ground again. After rolling around for a few times, he coughed violently and tried to get up, but suddenly he felt an aura of corpses and blood, sweeping over like a rolling storm!

"I've said it before. Your biggest problem is that you're not specialized in anything. You seem to know everything, but in reality, you're not good at anything."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so many years for me to reach the Golden Core stage."

Along with these cold words, Bai Yuan slowly walked over from more than ten steps away, and there seemed to be indissoluble blood around him.

Just as Jiang Rao was about to get up, a white foot stepped on her chest, suppressing her movement to get up.

"The Jiang family's bloodline flows through you... What a waste of talent!"

Boom!

At that moment, Jiang Rao and Bai Yuan locked eyes. Seeing the cold, indifferent look in those eyes, she widened her eyes in fear, as if she were back in the day, a child following Bai Yuan. Those long-forgotten memories flooded back into her mind, sending shivers through her body.

"Gu...Kill me!"

Jiang Rao grabbed Bai Yuan's bare feet with both hands and struggled twice, but failed to lift her up. She could only spit out blood and hissed, "Since you want the Jiang family's bloodline, why don't you just draw out my bloodline like you did to my senior sister and then abandon my body in the wilderness?! At this point, Rao'er only wishes for a quick death!"

"wanna die?"

Bai Yuan tilted his head, a sarcastic expression on his fair face. "The people who destroyed the Jiang family won't be any friendlier to you than I am. You're seeking death after such a small setback, and you even want to build a force to avenge your family members who died tragically? Oh, you're dreaming!"

"!!"

Jiang Rao's heart was shocked.

——She had never revealed anything about the "Yeque Sect" to outsiders. Even many people in the sect only had single-line contact with their superiors, and they didn't even know who she, the sect leader, was.

How would "Blood Kite" know?

Just when Jiang Rao was about to say something, he heard Ye Shuang'er scream: "Master, be careful...ah!"

The next moment, the three masters and apprentices present felt the ground shaking violently at the same time. Several huge pieces of rubble fell from above the corridor, and one of the two bronze-scaled beasts that had been trapped in the sea of ​​fire suddenly jumped up with its dying body, like an evil ghost reborn from the ashes, and directly slapped Ye Shuang'er away, and then went straight for Bai Yuan's back!
