Chapter 459 The Last Journey (24)
Chapter 459 The Last Journey (24)
This sudden change caused the two gangs present to stop what they were doing instantly.
Then, a tall demon cultivator stepped out from the crowd, his eyes wide open, and shouted at the sword cultivator,
"You guys are so shameless! If you have the ability, just fight us openly. How can you be called a hero by arresting a woman?"
Facing the accusation from the demon cultivator, the sword cultivator not only did not show any guilt, but instead raised his head and laughed wildly, then responded contemptuously,
"Hahahaha, she's just a witch. So what if I catch her? If you know what's good for you, all of you should step back. Otherwise, don't blame me for my ruthless sword!"
Upon hearing this, several demon cultivators exchanged glances with each other. Although they were filled with resentment, they could only take a small step back helplessly.
At this time, the sword cultivators became even more complacent when they saw this. One of the most arrogant sword cultivators even used the tip of his sword to gently lift up the girl's collar.
In an instant, a large area of snow-white skin was exposed to everyone.
At this time, the leading demon cultivator glared at the other party and shouted, "You so-called famous and upright people are so despicable and shameless!
You do such obscene things, and you still have the nerve to call yourself a righteous person?"
Several sword cultivators laughed without taking it seriously.
One of them even shouted arrogantly: "She is just a witch. What's wrong with me wanting to have some fun with her? How big of a deal can it be?"
Just when they were getting carried away and distracted, the girl who was originally captured seized the opportunity, broke free from the restraints, and quickly escaped from the control of the sword practitioners.
Upon seeing this, the leading man on the demon side turned cold and without hesitation launched a fierce attack on the swordsman on the opposite side.
For a moment, sword energy crisscrossed, magic power surged, and the two sides launched a fierce fight.
Before long, those sword cultivators could no longer withstand the powerful offensive of the demon cultivators and were defeated one after another.
Just as the situation was becoming clearer, a noisy sound of footsteps suddenly came from not far away.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people walking towards them.
The leader was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with a figure as straight as a pine tree. He was a disciple from the Shushan School.
Yan Xue took a closer look and couldn't help but secretly exclaimed: "Oh, it turns out that people from Shushan Sect are here. This is the largest sect!"
Guangyu and Guanghua curled their lips when they heard this.
The young man walked forward steadily, first clasped his fists and saluted the demon cultivator, then said politely: "Brother, please be merciful and let them live."
However, the demon cultivator on the other side looked at the man in front of him and also bowed in return, but his tone was still tough.
"It's not that I don't want to show mercy, it's just that he was the first to humiliate my fellow junior sister. This account cannot be let go so easily!"
The young man bowed again and explained sincerely, "We heard the commotion not far away and know a little about what happened.
It is true that they were at fault first, and I hope you can be more magnanimous. This is a hundred-year-old spiritual herb, presented to you.
Zhang Haoran looked at the other party's tough attitude and knew that if he faced two parties, he would have no chance of winning.
He turned his head to look at Lingxi, thought about it, and took it.
Ling Xi looked at the herbs Zhang Haoran handed over, "Big Brother?"
"Take it. This is compensation from the other party."
The battle was resolved in this way. Yan Xue clapped her hands, thinking it was boring. The three of them got on the carriage and continued on their way.
The many sword cultivators at the scene bowed deeply to the people from Shushan Sect, their faces full of gratitude.
They said in unison: "Thank you all for your generosity and rescue. We will always remember your kindness!"
Li Fangjing smiled slightly, waved his hand gently, and said loudly: "It's okay, it's okay. It's the duty of chivalrous people like us to help others when we see injustice.
However, you should be more careful when you go out in the future."
Yuan Gang gritted his teeth, a trace of reluctance and anger flashed in his eyes, but he finally suppressed his emotions and said with a cupped hand: "I am grateful for your help today, and I will repay you if I have the chance.
But... there is still one thing I don't understand, I hope you can help me solve it."
Li Fangjing nodded, indicating that he could say whatever he wanted.
Yuan Gang took a deep breath and asked, "That man just now was clearly a demon cultivator who had committed many evil deeds. Why did you let him go? Isn't this like letting a tiger return to the mountain?"
Hearing this, Li Fangjing cast his gaze towards the carriage that had disappeared in the distance and slowly said, "Didn't you all notice the carriage not far away?"
Everyone looked confused, and someone asked in confusion: "Ah? Isn't it just a passing carriage? What's so strange about it?"
Li Fangjing frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "The cultivation level of the person in the carriage is unfathomable, far superior to you and me.
Even with my late Jindan cultivation level, it is difficult to determine the truth.
Therefore, we must respond carefully and not act rashly.”
A Shushan disciple couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Big Brother, you are already in the late Jindan stage. Even you can't find out the other party's details?"
Li Fangjing shook his head helplessly and sighed, "It is precisely because we cannot find out that we should be extra careful.
The martial arts world is vast, and there are countless people whose cultivation is higher than yours and mine. You must not fall into an irretrievable situation due to a moment of negligence."
Yan Xue and her group left the troubled place and turned into the prosperous and bustling city.
People come and go in the city, with shouts and hawking sounds coming one after another, as if a vivid market picture is slowly unfolding before your eyes.
The three of them had been playing in the city for two days, and happened to see someone throwing a ball to welcome a bride in the city. Yan Xue was curious and stayed in the city for another day.
On the fourth day, we left the city and prepared to visit the next town.
The carriage was moving steadily along the road, its wheels rolling and raising a cloud of dust.
At this moment, Guangyu, who had been sitting quietly in the car, suddenly changed his expression and shouted loudly: "Stop!"
The magic dragon horse did not dare to delay at all and stopped immediately.
Yan Xue, who was sitting next to him, was shocked when she saw this and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
At the same time, Guanghua also keenly noticed the strange atmosphere.
Guangyu took a deep breath and said, "Guanghua, you stay here to protect the young lady. I'll go check the situation."
Before she finished her words, she disappeared in a flash.
After a moment, a figure rushed over from a distance, and Guangyu returned to the carriage.
Yan Xue couldn't wait to ask: "What happened?"
Guangyu frowned and said, "I found a lot of corpses deep in the woods three miles away. They were the group of sword cultivators we met last time.
Moreover, the bodies of Shushan Sect disciples were found not far away..."
Hearing this, Yan Xue couldn't help but frowned and muttered to herself: "Could it be those demon cultivators who did it? But with their cultivation level, it seems unlikely that they could do it..."
Guangyu shook his head, "No, I sensed the breath of my own kind."
