EBE Chapter 572 Something's Wrong with Him
Chapter 572 Something's Wrong with Him
The second senior brother and Gu Chengxue also tacitly chose to cooperate with each other, and for a time the two sides and the moths were evenly matched.
However, the biggest problem they face is that they are constantly exposed to the erosion of demonic energy. If they cannot defeat these demons as soon as possible, their spiritual energy will be completely depleted.
Both sides were injured. Even Gu Chengxue, who had just joined the fight, had two deep gashes on his arm from the silk spun by the moths. The demonic energy burrowed into his meridians along his flesh.
The second senior brother was in an even worse state; his back, legs, and face were covered in wounds, and the blood that flowed out stained large patches of his Taoist robe crimson.
Xu Youan was the only one in better condition, but his face was so pale it was almost transparent. Although he didn't seem to have any serious injuries, he was much weaker than the others.
The one who fought even harder was Jiang Liqian, who seemed to be the most seriously injured. In her hands, the Shitian Sword was like a thunder dragon emerging from the sea, destroying everything in its path. Waves of sword energy surged from the sword in her hand, cutting down grass and trees and splitting lightning in two.
Seeing that the situation of the other three was getting worse and worse, her gaze suddenly fell on the Blood God Jade floating in mid-air. With a Thunder Twin Technique, the spiritual phantom she split off flashed in front of the Blood God Jade. Without the slightest hesitation, she kicked it, aiming directly at the humanoid moth that was struggling the most.
Blood God Jade was completely unprepared for Jiang Liqian's attack. Upon impact, it immediately used the force to strike the moth hard, instantly piercing its skull.
Without even a scream, the moth lost its footing and crashed to the ground.
This effect startled everyone.
Is it true that only divine power can naturally suppress demonic energy?
Now only four humanoid moths remain, and the battle has reached its most intense moment. Jiang Liqian wanted to use the Blood God Jade again, but the demons have already surrounded it warily, preventing her from getting her hands on it.
Just then, a rustling sound came from the southeast. Immediately afterwards, three figures rushed out of the dense shadows of the trees in the valley and joined the fight without saying a word.
It's Xuan Ling, Jiang Huaizhou, and... Yun Ruyi!
Jiang Liqian was slightly taken aback when she saw them. Then she pursed her lips and the Qiankun Heart Sutra was running wildly in her mind. While rapidly absorbing the surrounding lightning spiritual power, she swung her sword, leaving afterimages. The intense and condensed sword intent, along with the killing aura, kept flashing among the humanoid moths that blotted out the sky.
Thunder rumbled.
By the time the last humanoid moth was killed, all seven people present were wounded and exhausted, and almost simultaneously wanted to collapse.
But everyone is a respectable person, so no one was really in such a sorry state, disregarding the sect's own dignity. Only Jiang Liqian was truly exhausted, to the point where she could barely move.
However, she only caught her breath for a moment before gritting her teeth and quickly arriving behind the large rock where Jiang Junze was hiding. She pulled him out of the shadows, who was already unconscious, and reached out to check his meridians.
Fortunately, he only lost too much blood, and with the Tranquilizing Pill, he wasn't too badly affected by the demonic energy.
Knowing that the person was still alive, she breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize how exhausted she was, and she staggered and sat down on the ground with a thud.
Just as he was about to remind everyone not to forget to circulate the Mind-Clearing Mantra to prevent demonic energy from invading their minds, he opened his mouth, but his already dulled senses suddenly felt a murderous aura coming from his left side behind him.
She snapped back to her senses and instinctively grabbed the weapon that was about to pierce her brow.
Bright red blood flowed from between his fingers, a gruesome and dazzling sight.
"Senior sister!"
"Jiang Liqian!"
"Little junior sister!"
"Qianqian!"
"Sister!"
Several exclamations rang out at the same time. The next second, disregarding their own injuries, they all rushed towards her. Before the person who was trying to sneak attack could react, he was kicked away with a powerful kick.
The black spear aimed directly at his vital point.
The air was filled with murderous intent.
"Wait!" Jiang Liqian shouted.
The gleaming spear tip abruptly stopped a fingertip at the man's heart, then began to tremble violently. Xu You'an desperately wanted to stab him, but he didn't want to disobey his senior sister's words. Reason and emotion tore wildly through his mind, making his already pale face even more bloodless.
Jiang Liqian calmly made her way through the gathering crowd, grasped his trembling hand, and frowned: "Something's wrong with him..."
Following her words, the crowd finally had the energy to look at the "uninvited guest." What they saw shocked them so much that they remained stunned for a long time.
"Junior Brother Meng?!" Fu Wennian was both angry and shocked, staring incredulously at Meng Jiu'an lying on the ground.
As fellow disciples of the Tianqian Sect, his sneak attack, intending to kill his fellow disciples, is tantamount to treason. Regardless of whether the killing was successful or not, it is a serious crime punishable by death on the Thunder Execution Platform!
Although this competition allows for any means, that only applies to gaining competition points. He is clearly here for personal grudges and wants to kill his junior sister!
Wait a minute... This junior brother and junior sister hardly interacted at all, so why would he want to assassinate the junior sister?
Suddenly realizing something was amiss, Fu Wennian's anger subsided, but he was still filled with lingering fear. He pulled his junior sister behind him.
If his junior sister had been a little slower in sensing things, she could have been in real danger! He couldn't bear to let her get so close to this person again.
Jiang Liqian sensed her second senior brother's movement, turned her head and gave him a reassuring smile to show that she was alright. She was not frightened by what had just happened. Instead, she noticed something different, something that she had probably overlooked for a very long time without realizing it.
So long that she never noticed.
She had a strong intuition that there might be a truth about Meng Jiu'an that she had never known, a truth that she had been searching for for two lifetimes.
Jiang Huaizhou wasn't as polite as they were. When his senior sister told him to stop, he strode forward and kicked Meng Jiuzhang twice more without any mercy, making him vomit blood. He didn't care at all whether the other party was a fellow disciple or not.
From the moment he met his senior sister, she became the mountain he wanted to follow and climb. He would never allow anyone to treat her so despicably!
Xuan Ling looked at Junior Brother Meng, who had been thrown to his feet by Jiang Huaizhou. His face was very ugly, but his eyes were even more complicated, especially when he saw Junior Brother Meng's dazed and dull eyes, which were filled with evil bloodlust.
He had seen eyes like those before.
Although Gu Chengxue believed that killing this so-called "Junior Brother Meng" was justifiable and reasonable, he also agreed to spare the man's life first. After all, he was a disciple of her sect and should be taken back for trial and judged by the sect elders and the sect leader.
Only Yun Ruyi stood motionless, her face pale, about three meters away from Jiang Liqian, her hands and feet icy cold.
