Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

"boom"!

At this moment, all the bells suddenly exploded, turning into silver fragments that shot in all directions, leaving a spider-web-like scorch mark on the wall!

"what happened!?"

Jiang Ran suddenly woke up from his cultivation state. Turning his head, he saw that the moonlight outside the window was covered with a layer of blood and was pouring in through the window paper, dyeing the entire guest room into purgatory.

Outside the window, several ghostly, blood-red figures quietly emerged from the air, approaching the inn. Suddenly, one of them raised his hand and slashed with a sword. Then, a dazzling sword light appeared, creating a blood-red crescent sword light in the air.

boom! ! !

Wherever the sword light passed, it was like a devastating force. First, the windows outside the inn exploded one after another, and then the entire inn disintegrated in the sword light!

"Crash-"

The moment the inn's load-bearing beam broke, Jiang Rao's toes shattered the bed board, and he leaped up like a civet cat, swung his sword to clear away the wood chips, and then flew up on the sword!

"You want to escape now?"

"late!"

Along with this loud shout, the man just now swung out several blood-red sword beams again. They seemed to be in different directions, but they just blocked Jiang Rao's route of rising into the air. As long as she continued to move forward, she would definitely be crushed by several sword beams!

This kind of thing can only be done when there is a huge difference in cultivation and combat experience!

Jiang Rao tried to force his way through the blood-colored sword beams, but his expression changed drastically the moment he swung his sword to block. He was hit by the tremendous force of the sword beams and fell straight down. When he was about to hit the ground, he did a somersault and barely stood firm, then immediately slashed out seven or eight sword energies to the side of his body!

At the same time, a large number of golden needles were swung out from the sleeve on the other side, shooting in all directions like a rainstorm!

Dangdangdang——

A series of sparks flew.

Four blurry figures wearing red ghost masks appeared on the street, occupying the four corners around Jiang Rao and surrounding her.

The fifth person was standing on the roof of a house not far away. He had a rough appearance and held a broadsword surrounded by blood mist in his hand. As the sword swept across, the blood-colored moon burst out again!

At that moment, a loud boom was heard! The teahouses and taverns on both sides of the long street collapsed like building blocks, and the bluestone pavement cracked into ravines three feet deep. Countless townspeople were buried in their sleep, and the few who survived were enveloped in the blood energy transformed by the sword light. Amid the cries and shouts, countless ghostly blood shadows emerged from the ground and pounced on Jiang Rao!

"Tianyuan Sword Technique!!"

Jiang Rao dodged while swinging his sword, barely breaking up the blood shadows around him, then grabbed the pendant around his neck and pulled it hard!

——This was exactly the escape method she failed to use last time in the Wunian Underground Palace.

however.

The jade pendant on Jiang Rao's neck had just burst out with a green light when a cold snort came from the sky, and then a bloody hand fell from the sky, shattering the light of the teleportation array that appeared next to Jiang Rao, and even knocked her so hard that her whole body was covered in blood and she almost sank directly into the ground!

If it weren't for the several protective magic weapons on her body that transformed into various colors of light to help block the attack, this one move alone would probably have left her seriously injured and on the verge of death!

Jiang Rao retreated while vomiting blood. He looked around and saw blood-colored patterns emerging in the air around him, like a huge net, wrapping up this world layer by layer!

"Blood Ghost Binding Formation? Are you from the Blood Origin Sect?"

——Blood Origin Sect!

As early as a few days ago, Jiang Rao learned from Ye Shuang'er that Liao Bin from the Blood Source Sect had visited Bai Yuan.

However, according to Ye Shuang'er's recounting, the other party had only probed Bai Yuan about the Jiang family's affairs and hadn't gotten any clues. Therefore, although Jiang Rao was mentally prepared for a confrontation with the Blood Source Sect and had made some preparations, he had never expected them to arrive so soon!

At this moment, among the six people sent out by the other side, the four wearing red ghost masks were estimated to be in the Jindan realm, and each of them was above the sixth grade of Jindan. Even if fighting alone, Jiang Rao might not be able to win, let alone one against four!

The other two were both at the Nascent Soul stage. The one who wielded the blood-red sword was estimated to be around the fourth stage of the Nascent Soul stage, and the one standing high in the sky exuded a cultivation aura that was even more powerful than Baili Qingfeng's!

——Bai Li Qing Feng is a seventh-grade Nascent Soul. If someone is stronger than him...

Could it be the eighth rank? !

With such a huge gap in strength, no matter how clever Jiang Rao was, she couldn't figure out how to escape from this carefully laid trap!

"Jie Jie~"

The cultivator holding the blood-red greatsword sneered and looked at Jiang Rao with a cold gaze: "Fairy Jiang is quite knowledgeable. She can even recognize the secret technique of the 'Blood Ghost Binding Array' at a glance. It seems that you have a connection with my Blood Source Sect. In this case, why not come with us? My sect leader would like to invite you back to the Blood Pool to reminisce about the past."

"Reminiscing about old times?"

"Yes, there is an old friend there named Jiang Cheng. He has been waiting for you in the blood pool for more than 20 years. Miss Jiang should be familiar with him, right?"

"!!"

Jiang Rao's eyelids twitched.

In that split second of distraction, four monks wearing red ghost masks rushed out in unison. As they swung their scimitars, a bloody rain filled the sky, transforming into blood-red crescent moons several feet long that rolled back towards them. Jiang Rao barely managed to block four of the bloody crescents, but her left leg was pierced by the claws thrown by two of them. She stumbled into the ruins, and saw the fifth bloody moon slash down from the sky.

At the critical moment.

Swish——! !

A frost-colored sword light suddenly split the blood mist and shattered the blood moon! !

Jiang Rao stumbled back a few steps, and saw a figure in a moon-white robe stepping into the air, forcibly splitting the blood-colored array pattern in mid-air. The Kunlun jade hanging around his waist shone brightly in the night, and the words "Ice Soul" were clearly written on it:

"How can we allow you, the scoundrels, to act so recklessly in front of Tianyuan disciples!!"

"...I was wondering who it was, but it turned out to be Master Yanfeng of Tianyuan Mountain himself?"

The "blood-handed man" in the sky laughed sinisterly, and did not try to stop her, allowing Yan Shu to rush into the battlefield.

As the latter fell into the street, a cluster of ice crystals spread rapidly along the broken bluestone slabs, and heavy snow suddenly fell on the entire long street. Then Yan Shu raised her hand and swung her sword, and an ice lotus bloomed under Jiang Rao's feet. The moment the petals closed, it blocked several oncoming blood moon sword lights, but left Jiang Rao, who was inside the petals, unharmed.

"Rao'er, hurry up! Master will block this for you first!"

Yan Shu growled.

"Leave? Today, neither you nor the master can leave!!"

At this moment, the Blood Sword Monk attacked again, and a huge blood-colored sword light rushed towards him, but was blocked by Yan Shu who waved the [Ice Soul Sword].

Endless frosty sword energy mixed with blood-colored ice spikes swept across the entire venue, instantly freezing two of the other four red ghost masks. The blood-colored light reflected when the sword light and the ice spikes collided violently dyed the clouds in the night sky a strange red!

Seeing Yan Shu was about to send Jiang Rao out of the ice lotus with a roll of her sleeves, the "Blood Hand Man" finally made a move again, unleashing his full Nascent Soul Stage 8 cultivation. Thirty-six blood-colored hooks shot out from his robe on the spot, like a giant birdcage crashing down from the sky, covering the street and even half of Qixia Town!

The spiritual energy of the earth veins within a radius of ten miles was rioting wildly, turning into a huge blood mist that rose up!

“Open it… for me!!”

At the critical moment, Yan Shu bit her tongue and sprayed it on the sword, pushing the power of the [Ice Soul Sword] to the extreme. It condensed into a hundred-meter-long ice dragon that soared into the sky, wrapped around Jiang Rao's ice lotus, and rushed out of the encirclement before the "birdcage" closed, and then penetrated into the sky!

Last second.

Jiang Rao only saw Yan Shu swing the Ice Soul Sword into a trailing shadow, and the scattered frost flowers turned into thousands of sword rains, temporarily stopping the Blood Sword monk's pursuit, but she herself was pierced through the chest by several blood-colored chains, and several bright blood flowers exploded on her body!

“…Master!!”

The blood mist closed.

The ice dragon roared and charged into the sky, flying nearly a hundred miles before losing its power and letting Jiang Rao fall from mid-air onto a barren mountain. When she got up and looked back, she saw that the entire Qixia Town had turned blood red.

Just at this time.

Another Nascent Soul Realm aura fell on this hilltop.

Jiang Rao glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw a monk wearing a moon-white robe, with a Kunlun jade hanging around his waist with the word "Ice Soul" written on the jade. He appeared behind her, supported her who was covered in bruises, and asked with concern: "Rao'er, what happened? Who hurt you like this?"

"...?!"

Why is Yan Shu here again? !

Jiang Rao's mind went blank for a moment, and then she seemed to understand something - there are many people in the cultivation world who are good at disguise, but there is probably only one person who can be so proficient to such a level and appear here at this time!

"It's you?!"

Jiang Rao grabbed Yan Shu's wrist and said, "You are her, right? Did you plan everything that happened tonight?"

"Why are you talking so nonsense, kid?"

Yan Shu frowned, looking puzzled:

Jiang Rao had already rolled up her sleeves, revealing a smooth, white arm. On the inside of her arm, slightly above the elbow, was a blue-gray, snowflake-shaped birthmark the size of a fingernail.

——This is one of Yan Shu’s secrets.

Only those who have seen her body in person would know the existence of this birthmark.

And Xue Yuan...had never met Yan Shu before! Even if she was in disguise, she shouldn't have been able to reproduce this!

Jiang Rao's mind was in a trance for a moment, and when she looked up at Yan Shu in front of her, she found that no matter her expression, tone, behavior, or the faint cold fragrance of cedar on her body, they were all exactly the same as the [Ice Soul Sword Master] she knew, without any flaws.

what happened?

what happened? ?

Why are there two Yan Shus? I can't tell which one is the real one!

But if the Yan Shu in front of him wasn't Bai Yuan in disguise, then the person who had just rushed into Qixia Town to save her must be...

"It happened!"

"That woman... is in danger!!"

Jiang Rao had no time to sort out the details of the series of events tonight. He hurriedly glanced back in the direction of Qixia Town, then grabbed Yan Shu in front of him and said quickly: "Master... no matter who you are, Rao'er requests you to go to Qixia Town immediately to rescue people!

"Just now, I was surrounded and attacked by cultivators from the Blood Origin Sect in that town. A senior risked his life to save me... Among the enemies was someone who looked similar to Elder Baili. If no one helped her, her life would be in danger!"

"Is there such a thing?"

Yan Shu frowned.

Before she could say anything, the master and disciple heard an earth-shaking tiger roar coming from the direction of Qixia Town. It turned out to be a huge white tiger that tore open the "bird cage" and appeared in the night sky over there. It pounced into the battlefield with a ferocious and violent attitude, and in a blink of an eye, it became one with the Blood Source Sect monks in the cage.

"That monster..."

Yan Shu's pupils trembled, as if she had thought of something, revealing an expression of disbelief: "Rao'er, that white tiger just now, could it be the ferocious beast you and Senior Brother Baili encountered in the secret realm? Could it be true, as the Qingxuan Sect's intelligence said, that the Blood Kite Demon Lord and the Blood Origin Sect have colluded and planned this hunt against my Tianyuan disciples?!"

"..."

Jiang Rao didn't respond, because she was also staring blankly in the direction of the town, with images flashing through her mind like lightning:

Yes!

The figure that just fell from the sky was almost identical to the scene in the Wunian Underground Palace not long ago. If it wasn't Bai Yuan, who else could it be!

Including that rainy night twenty years ago... this is the third time that Bai Yuan has saved him!

And she actually still suspected that Bai Yuan had ulterior motives towards her!

Chapter 79: My sword, 20 days of hard work, can you resist it? (Two in One)

"Master!"

Jiang Rao took a deep breath, looked at Yan Shu beside him, and knelt on the ground:

"I beg you to rescue the person in town who is being besieged by the Blood Origin Sect, because I have a close relationship with her... After this operation is over, I will tell you everything and bear all the consequences!"

"……it is good."

Yan Shu's expression was complicated, but she nodded solemnly: "Since it is your request, Rao'er, how can I not agree? Please wait here, I will return as soon as possible!"

As she spoke, Yan Shu drew her sword.

With just a swing of the sword, a ten-foot-long ice dragon condensed in mid-air. Then she pointed her toes, flew into the air and stepped onto the ice dragon. Then, amid the whimpering sound of the night wind, her robes fluttered, and she rushed towards Qixia Town at an extremely fast speed!

The sharp sword energy flowing between the ice dragon's scales and claws was indeed Yan Shu's "Frosty Sky Condensation". Even the details were vivid. The cold mist swept by the dragon's tail even condensed into tiny ice crystals on the girl's eyelashes.

thump--

Jiang Rao slumped to the ground, staring blankly at the figure rushing towards the blood-colored barrier without hesitation. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she turned and rushed towards the jagged rock she had hit during the fall. After searching for a while, she pulled the broken jade hairpin out of the crack in the rock and held it in her palm.

The moonlight shines through the pear blossoms carved on the hairpin, making the mottled cracks look like a spider web.

call--! !

Another tiger roar erupted from the blood-colored barrier, tearing through the night sky and shaking the mountains.

Jiang Rao suddenly curled up her body, unconsciously clenching the broken hairpin in her hand until blood oozed out from between her fingers. She looked at the blood oozing from the lines on her palm with a dazed look. In a trance, she found it so similar to the blood dripping on that rainy night twenty years ago, so... real!

"Before I kill you..."

The girl sobbed and pressed the jade hairpin to her aching heart. Tears could no longer be held back and flowed out of her eyes: "Please don't die!"
