Chapter 142: Escape from Yuncang, the farther the better (Subscribe)
"Bet? I won't suffer any loss no matter what the result is. What kind of bet is this?" Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but shook his head. Whether Zhu Yuxian fell into depravity or became an immortal, it was a good thing for him.
If she sinks, she will become my plaything; if she becomes an immortal, she will still be my wife. There is no such thing as gambling.
"I think this woman is clearly trying to find an excuse for me to humiliate her, so that she can feel at ease and enjoy this dark and perverted excitement."
Lu Chengfeng complained a few words in his mind and felt helpless. The Great Five Elements Extinction Sword Formation required five sword orders to be activated at the same time, but this woman went crazy at this time and simply didn't care.
He immersed his mind in the Black Evil Talisman, feeling the mystery of the Black Evil's soul-stealing energy power, and unknowingly had one more talisman.
In the sea of consciousness, the true meaning of the cloud light gathered into an auspicious cloud. The five-shaped divine light talisman was like a fairy sword, surrounded by a five-colored halo, with a red dragon and a black snake hovering above it.
As soon as Lu Chengfeng thought about it, a red dragon and a black snake appeared around his body, circling around him. As long as he thought about it, he could protect himself and kill the enemy.
"Not bad, now we have more ways to deal with the enemy!"
After just a brief attempt, he gave up. The Lord of Nether City was not an enemy that could be dealt with by these means. No matter how many talismans he had, they would not be of much use.
As time passed, the scorching sun gradually reached its zenith, the temperature became higher and higher, even the rocks on the cliffs were so hot that it was almost impossible to stand.
Lu Chengfeng had already sent out spies to inquire about Youdu's movements along the way, but there was no news.
Lu Chengfeng stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a black robe, but there was not a trace of sweat on his body. His skin was warm and even as cool as jade.
With his level of cultivation, he has long been immune to cold and heat, and the changing seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter have no effect on him.
But the ordinary disciples could not do that. They were already nervous and had been waiting for such a long time. In addition, the weather was hot, and many of them were sweating profusely, with beads of sweat on their foreheads and faces.
The atmosphere began to become increasingly restless.
At this moment, two large horses from Liangzhou finally came galloping.
When they got closer, the eight hall masters guarding the mountain gate discovered that these two people were disciples of the Yuncang Sword Sect, and they were the ones who were sent out earlier to gather information.
When they reached the mountain gate, they dismounted from their horses, but fell to the ground with a thud.
Du Hongyue and others hurried forward to check, only to find that the two disciples were terrified, their breathing was disordered, their faces were extremely pale, and sweat was pouring down their foreheads.
"What's going on? Didn't I send you out to get information? Why did you take so long to come back? Where are the others?"
Seeing the appearance of the two men, the eight hall masters felt their hearts sink. It was obvious that the two men were frightened. Those who were sent out to gather information were all elite disciples of the sect. They were brave and careful, but they were in such a terrible state at this moment. There must be no good news ahead.
After Du Hongyue asked this question, the two seemed to come back to their senses from their fright, and one of them couldn't help but burst into tears.
“Ah…ah…Elder, it’s over, it’s all over…wuwu…”
He kept wailing and sobbing, and his words were incoherent and impossible to understand.
The other disciple, however, had his teeth chattering, but he still managed to come to his senses and roughly told the story of what had happened in front of him.
"Elder... The Lord of Youdu led 3,000 elite cavalrymen and left Youzhou and entered Liangzhou. Wherever they passed, they massacred the cities they encountered and killed everyone they saw. They paved the road with blood and corpses as they charged forward."
"Everyone who appeared in their sight was dead. No one was able to send a message back. They were all dead... all dead..."
"From the border of Youdu to Yuncang Mountain, passing through three counties and thirteen cities, all thirteen cities have been reduced to ruins. Men, women, old and young, women and babies have all died. There are mountains of corpses and rivers of blood everywhere. Millions of people have been slaughtered."
"Birds dare not land, wild beasts dare not approach, flies and insects are all killed, evil spirits rise to the sky, and the clouds turn red..."
"It's miserable, miserable, miserable...it's really miserable!"
The eight hall masters' faces changed drastically and they were horrified.
"Is he crazy? How can he win the hearts of the people by using such butchering methods? How can he unify the thirteen states? He is digging his own grave."
"I think he is clearly trying to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. He wants to use Liangzhou and my Yuncang Sword Sect to set rules for the people of the world, thereby clearing obstacles for future battles and weakening the enemy's fighting spirit."
"Where is King Xiang now?"
Several hall masters were talking at once, all of them obviously panicking.
This news obviously exceeded everyone's expectations. No one had expected that the Lord of Youdu would be so bloody and brutal.
"Then how did you two survive?" Du Hongyue asked through gritted teeth.
The disciple cried and laughed, as if he was crazy. "Everyone else was killed. All the brothers who were sent out to get information died. Only seven or eight people surrendered."
"We were scared, we were afraid of death, we knelt on the ground and begged for mercy."
"They beat us, whipped us, and stepped on our heads..."
"Woooooooo..."
He cried inconsolably, his voice full of fear and pain, "Then he made us kill each other, kill, kill, kill, and keep killing...ah..."
"In the end, only Junior Brother Lu and I survived. We were the only ones who survived..."
"Hehehe...they...they want us to come back and deliver a message..."
The disciple named Lu next to him suddenly raised his head, his eyes seemed to be filled with dark energy, as if someone had strangled his throat, and he screamed in a sharp and piercing voice: "Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish!"
As soon as the words fell, the bodies of the two people exploded instantly, blood splattered, bones broke, internal organs were smashed into a ball of mud, and white brain matter rolled.
Such a tragic scene shocked all eight hall masters. They subconsciously withdrew and when they came to their senses, their bodies were shaking violently and their eyes were red as they looked at the scene in front of them.
The two dead disciples' bodies, broken arms and blood actually formed two words.
"pregnancy!"
"die!"
Everyone's teeth were chattering. Du Hongyue's eyes were bloodshot, and the spear in his hand was surrounded by flames. He wished he could rush out right now and kill him to the death.
"This is too much, this is too much, this is too much!"
She screamed loudly, filled with anger, grief, and a hint of sadness.
"What can I do? What can I do?!"
An elder nearby couldn't help but burst into tears. His white hair turned gray, and he looked like an old wolf in the mountains, full of sorrow.
……
Soon the news reached Lu Chengfeng.
He closed his eyes and felt the coldness for the first time, as well as a hint of imperceptible fear.
This is not him wandering around the world, doing justice and annihilating the Black Wind Village;
Nor is it to change one's name, assume another's identity, and hunt in secret;
It is not about bullying the weak, exterminating the Li family, or seizing beautiful women.
The one who is coming is a terrifying and powerful person who they have no power to defeat, a tyrant who is brutal, cruel and ruthless, who can kill his wife and children, and can massacre a city and destroy a clan.
He doesn't care about the world or the people's hearts, and he practices the way of life and death.
Want...
Yes, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish!
The two corpses in front of the mountain gate, one alive and the other dead, bloodily revealed the will of the Lord of the Netherworld.
Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. All his complacency, pride, satisfaction, and the pleasure of conquering Zhu Yuxian all turned into a bone-chilling cold.
They underestimated the fear of the powerful celestial beings; underestimated the cruelty of the Lord of Hell; and overestimated their own strength...
Will the Lord of Hell really follow their plan and walk into the Dragon-trapped Abyss? What if he doesn't?!
If he came with his cavalry, it would be a bloody journey, and those who kneeled down and surrendered would live, and those who resisted would die...
How many disciples of the sect will dare to fight by then?
How many sect elders are willing to fight?
Apart from Zhu Yuxian, can the other three chief elders be trusted?
Will they really activate the Great Five Elements Extinction Sword Formation as agreed?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lu Chengfeng's hair stood on end unconsciously, and his face turned extremely pale.
He subconsciously glanced at the true disciple who came to deliver the message, and his hand unconsciously fell on the Red Dragon Sword at his waist.
"kill him!"
"Take Zhu Yuxian away quietly."
"Escape from Yuncang. The farther the better."
Lu Chengfeng's grip on the hilt of the sword became tighter and tighter, his veins were exposed, and his palm was slightly moist.
"If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. As long as I can survive, I will be able to defeat the Lord of Nether City one day. Why should I die in vain?"
His expression kept changing, and the murderous intent in his heart became more and more intense.
The disciple seemed to sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn't dare to look up at Lu Chengfeng at all, and said in a hoarse voice, "Young Master, the eight hall masters asked me to ask you, what should we do next?"
"What should I do next?!" Lu Chengfeng didn't say a word, but the pressure and various emotions in his heart were intertwined, pressing down on his chest like a mountain, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He wanted to burst into tears and curse, what should I do? What should I do? How do I know what to do?
He really wanted to stab the guy in front of him to death with a sword to vent the fear and pressure in his heart, and then start to flee madly with Zhu Yuxian.
However, his back became straighter and straighter without him noticing.
"So, I'm scared too?"
Lu Chengfeng said this out loud so that the disciple in front of him could also hear it. He lowered his head lower and lower, and sweat dripped onto the ground to form a small puddle. He wished he was deaf and didn't hear anything.
"Oh, you don't have to be afraid!" Lu Chengfeng spoke slowly. He took a deep breath, and a five-colored glow came out from his mouth and nose. "To be honest, I even had the thought of running away for a moment."
The disciple who was prostrating before him couldn't help but think after hearing this, "Will I die after the Young Master finishes speaking?"
"But I still feel unwilling to accept this!" Lu Chengfeng looked towards the mountain gate. "Just like this, without even fighting, the enemy frightened me into fleeing, or kneeling down in surrender..."
"I just feel so aggrieved in my heart."
He stroked the hilt of the sword with his right hand. The sword seemed to conceal a deep murderous aura, like a dragon bound by iron chains, with lurking claws and fangs, accumulating murderous intent and anger, ready to break free from the iron chains and devour its prey at any time.
"Then fight!"
It is unknown when Zhu Yuxian woke up. She suddenly opened her eyes, and colorful lights filled her pupils. Then they turned into a pillar of light that went straight up into the sky. The clouds for hundreds of miles changed color, and the sky was filled with clouds, looking majestic and magnificent.
Lu Chengfeng glanced at her. This woman was dressed in gorgeous clothes, had a fair complexion, was naturally arrogant, and her brows were full of coldness and arrogance.
"Hahaha!"
He couldn't help but burst into laughter, "You are indeed worthy of being my master. I, Lu Chengfeng, am ashamed of myself."
"You woke up at the right time. Since you have mastered the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, I now have a way out. My life and property can be entrusted to you without having to rely on outsiders."
"Come with me!"
After Lu Chengfeng finished speaking, he grabbed the disciple in front of him by the shoulder and jumped down the steep cliff in front of him.
The disciple was startled. The wind was howling and his body was falling rapidly. His speed was getting faster and faster, and he was getting closer and closer to the ground. He was about to hit the ground and be smashed into a pool of meat. He couldn't help but let out a loud scream and closed his eyes.
Lu Chengfeng performed the Cloud Light Escape Technique, as if he was riding the wind. At the moment he was about to fall, a gust of wind swept the ground, lifted up his body, and allowed him to land slowly.
He casually put down the disciple who had been paralyzed by fear, chuckled and said, "Go, pass the message to the eight hall masters in front."
"Tell them that if the Lord of Nether City comes, there is no need to resist or take action. Just help me pass on the message."
The disciple finally came back to his senses, still a little frightened. After taking a quick, deep breath, he bowed and said, "Young Master, please give me your instructions."
Lu Chengfeng said lightly: "Please ask them to tell the Lord of Youdu that I, Lu Chengfeng, and Sect Leader Qi Yuan are waiting for him at Kunlongyuan."
"If the two of us are defeated and killed, everyone in Yuncang is willing to surrender."
"If you don't allow..."
"Ah!"
He had a contemptuous smile on his face. "I, Lu Chengfeng, will ride a dragon and flee far away. One day, the lives of hundreds of millions of people under the rule of Youdu will fall into my hands. I will let them die, and they will have to die."
"I heard that King Xiang practiced the principles of life and death, but he couldn't even do anything to me. How dare he claim to have understood life and death? Isn't that laughable?"
The disciple was sweating profusely after hearing this, thinking to himself, "This is too overbearing. If the Lord of Nether City were to speak in person, who would dare to say this? Who could say this?"
Lu Chengfeng ignored him and simply ordered: "Immediately let the eight hall masters spread my words to all 108 peaks and tell all disciples not to resist. If there are those who care about the sect and are not afraid of death, please help me spread the news."
"Remember, whoever opens his mouth will die."
"I think that among the thousands of years of Yuncang's inheritance, there must be people with strong character in the inner and outer peaks, people who are not afraid of Youdu, and people who are afraid of death but stand out with their chests held high... Please convey the complete news to the Lord of Youdu for me."
When the disciple heard this, he couldn't help but tear up, because he himself was also a person who feared death, but being born and raised here, should he really surrender?
"I will follow the orders of the Young Master. I will take my leave!"
He bowed with a choked voice, then turned and left.
Zhu Yuxian had also come down the mountain at this time, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lu Chengfeng, saying indifferently: "Kunlongyuan, I will go with you."
Lu Chengfeng turned around and looked at her. Their eyes met. The woman's red dress was like fire, and her skin was whiter than snow, which was reflected in his pupils. He couldn't help but pinch his chin and said lightly, "What a beauty!"
After that, he slowly put down his hand, his face turned cold, and he said lightly: "It's a pity to die like this?"
Zhu Yuxian frowned slightly and wanted to say something else, but he glanced at her and interrupted her domineeringly, "Just obey my orders!"
At this time, Ku Zhu, Zeng Shoujing, Li Qingfeng and the other three also got the news. After seeing Lu Chengfeng's actions, they rushed over in a hurry and shouted from afar.
"Young Master, you have also received the news, right? The Lord of Nether City is so cruel, massacring the whole city and exterminating the whole clan, with blood flowing like a river. What should we do?"
"Yeah, how should we deal with it?"
When Lu Chengfeng and they got closer, a five-colored glow rose from his brows, splitting into five colors: green, yellow, black, white, and red, like five divine swords shining with cold light, sharp and fierce, locking onto the three people.
"I just ask the three elders to kneel down and bow their heads and not resist, okay?"
Kuzhu looked unhappy. "Young Master, what do you mean by this? Do you think I am a coward?"
Lu Chengfeng was unmoved and said coldly: "It's easy to die, but it's hard to live. It's probably as difficult as ascending to heaven to make Elder Kuzhu kowtow."
"But what if I insist?"
The rusty iron sword on Kuzhu's waist hummed, and the old voice was resolute, "The sect may be destroyed, but the sword's heart will not yield. You can't let me kneel down and surrender!"
"Okay, in that case, please hand over the sword orders, and please protect my master." Lu Chengfeng said calmly: "My master has mastered the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword Technique and can activate the Great Five Elements Extinction Sword Formation by himself."
"As for Elder Zeng and Elder Li, please stay by Kunlongyuan. If you encounter the Lord of Nether City, please kneel down and surrender. No matter what he asks, you two must tell him everything you know."
Zeng Shoujing and Li Qingfeng looked at each other and wanted to say something, but Lu Chengfeng didn't give them a chance to speak. "If you still care about the sect, do as I say."
"otherwise……"
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The five-colored sword lights hummed violently, the sharp edges flowed, and murderous intent was in the air.
"cut!"
