Chapter 577: You want to kill them. Have you asked me?
Will it be effective to use wild gods to fight against gods?
Zhao Duan was not completely sure, but this was the only method he could think of under his current circumstances.

Soon, the "ghost carriage" carrying four stuck bugs and people in a "suspended death" state ran toward the southwest, and the journey of the gods' hunt began again.

Four hours later, Xu Jingtang did not show up.

Eight hours later, Xu Jingtang did not show up.

This result made Zhao Duan and others extremely happy. Obviously, this method did work.

However, just when everyone thought they had found a way to get rid of Xu Jingtang, when they stopped to rest, Xu Jingtang once again rode the God of Sang and caught up from behind.

As a last resort, Zhao Duan used his last chance of "teleportation" to escape.

The magic power in the banyan leaves was exhausted, and everyone had completely lost their life-saving trump card.

At the same time, it also proves that although this method can prolong the time of being caught up, it still cannot completely cut off the sense of the God of Death.

then.

With heavy hearts, everyone set out on their escape journey once again. Perhaps because of their experience, or perhaps the curse was diluted with time, Xu Jingtang never appeared again during the rest of the journey.

After nearly three days of running at the speed of the unicorn, everyone finally arrived at their destination.

"Zhengyang Mountain is ahead!"

In the Yunfu Road, in the wilderness, when the carriage stopped for a rest again, Zhao Duan and his companions woke up from the "Dream Tower".

Yuxiu used magic to locate the place and after comparing it with the map, she was pleasantly surprised.

After several days of fleeing, the Taoist nun's face was filled with exhaustion and fatigue, but at this moment, a gleam of light finally shone in her eyes.

"arrive?!"

Inside the carriage, Zhao Duan, Jin Jian and Zhong Pan also showed joy on their faces.

They looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Zhong Pan lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. The sunlight poured in from outside, making everyone squint their eyes.

Yunfu is located in the south and has a humid climate. Even in late autumn, the climate here is still like summer, with green trees everywhere and clouds interweaving in the sky.

The warm and humid air blowing in his face lifted Zhao Duan's spirits.

He jumped off the carriage, holding the map in his hand, and looked up to see a mountain rising up in front of him. Among the green trees, a group of buildings could be vaguely seen on the mountain.

"Is this Zhengyang Mountain?" he murmured softly.

It was his first time to come to Yunfu Road. Unfortunately, he had been running for his life all the way and had no chance to appreciate the local customs and people. He only felt that the temperature was getting warmer and warmer, as if he had escaped into midsummer.

Yuxiu also jumped off the carriage and said with a smile:
"That's right. There is an academy on the Zhengyang Mountain. It has a history of hundreds of years. Scholars of the Zhengyang School study there. Since Master wants us to come here, there must be a reason."

The female Taoist nun has traveled around Yunfu for many years and is very familiar with this place.

Zhao Duan also has an acquaintance here, his junior apprentice Mr. Zhengyang. He exhaled and said:
"Although I didn't have time to observe along the way, the entire Yunfu Road is obviously much more peaceful. Xu Jingtang took his second son to the front line, leaving the crown prince in Yunfu Road...

At this time, the situation in Jingchuan has probably not been reported back yet, and I don’t know how the Huai River is doing, or how many Yunfu rebels have withdrawn.”

As the Grand Commander, Zhao Duan has been very anxious these days. He is worried about the gods behind him and the situation in Jingchuan Town.

"Let's go. We are not far away. We should go up the mountain in one go. If we delay, something unexpected will happen." Zhao Duan gathered his thoughts and said calmly.

Several people nodded.

Zhong Pan hurriedly fed the golden-horned horse some grass and let it rest for a while. Then everyone got back on the car and headed towards Zhengyang Mountain.

After two days of running wildly, the golden horned horse is about to be exhausted and it will be difficult for it to enter the "ghost" state.

Fortunately, the distance was not far, and even if the cart was pulled normally, it would be much faster than an ordinary horse-drawn carriage. Everyone was excited and did not choose to enter a dream.

When they followed the official road and arrived at the foot of Zhengyang Mountain, Zhao Duan was surprised to see a checkpoint at the foot of the mountain.

Some Yunfu rebels set up a checkpoint to block the road. When they saw the carriage coming, a low-ranking officer held down his scabbard and raised his hand to signal them to stop.

When they caught sight of the "unicorn", the soldiers became as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and the atmosphere became solemn and murderous.

"Zhengyang Mountain has been blocked and entry and exit are strictly prohibited. Who are you? Stop the car and tell us your name!" the officer shouted harshly.

The mountain is closed?
Zhao Duan was stunned for a moment, and signaled Zhong Pan to slow down the horse. When the carriage stopped, he slightly lifted the curtain and frowned, saying:

"We are here to visit a friend and have an appointment with Mr. Zhengyang. Who sealed the mountain?"

When the officer heard this, his face changed. He quietly tightened his grip on the knife handle and gestured to the soldiers behind him.

Staring at Zhao Duan, he said in a deep voice: "The Zhengyang School spreads heresy, and Prince Mu ordered them to be imprisoned. Since you are acquainted with Zhengyang, get out of the car immediately and accept interrogation!"

At the same time, a dozen soldiers at the checkpoint slowly drew their swords and tried to surround the carriage in a fan shape.

Zhao Duan's heart sank. Not wanting to waste time, he was about to take action, but he heard a low whistle in his ears first.

The jade flying sword leaped out of the curtain of the car, and in an instant, it flew among the soldiers at a speed almost as fast as a sonic boom.

"what--"

The rebels barely had time to cry out in surprise before bodies fell to the ground.

Yuxiu raised her fingers and pinched the jade flying sword that flew back to the carriage, her face cold and silent: "No need to talk nonsense, we are in a hurry."

Zhao Duan looked at her strangely and said jokingly:
"Priest, isn't it against your rules to attack the rebels? Priests of the Heavenly Master's Mansion do not interfere in worldly struggles for royal power."

He did not forget that Yuxiu was a female Taoist priest with particularly strong principles.

Yuxiu glanced at him calmly and pretended to be stupid: "What do you mean by meddling? Did I do anything? Who can prove it?"

Zhao Duan was stunned and burst out laughing!

So, a female Taoist nun who sticks to her principles is also a wonderful person.

After passing the checkpoint, the group began to climb the mountain. The terrain of Zhengyang Mountain is gentle, and the slope gradually rises. In order to facilitate travel, a winding mountain road was built.

As the carriage went up the mountain, we could see the academy buildings on the mountain more and more clearly, and the ancient pine trees were particularly eye-catching under the thin clouds.

When the group reached the halfway point of the mountain, there was a pavilion for resting. Zhao Duan was surprised to see a young man walk out of the pavilion and wave at them.

"parking."

Zhao Duan said, then he opened the curtain and looked in surprise at the young man who was about thirty or forty years old, with a very elegant demeanor and wearing a scholar's gown. He felt that he looked very familiar.

After frowning and thinking for a while, he blurted out: "You are... Lu Cheng?"

Lu Cheng!

He is the eldest disciple of the Zhengyang School and also Mr. Zhengyang's most accomplished disciple.

Back in the capital, Zhao Duan and Zhengyang discussed the philosophy of mind at Bailu Academy, accompanied by their eldest disciple Lu Cheng and Mr. Song from Songjiazhuang.

"Mr. Zhao!" Lu Cheng was also quite surprised to see him and took the initiative to bow.

And he is called Bachelor.

Zhao Duan asked in surprise: "You are waiting for me here?"

Lu Cheng nodded and smiled, "Indeed, I am following the orders of my master and am waiting for you here."

How did that corrupt scholar from Zhengyang know I was coming? Zhao Duan asked in confusion, "When I came here, I saw that Zhengyang Mountain had been blocked off."

The implication is that he should give an explanation.

Lu Cheng smiled bitterly:
"Indeed, when my master came back from the capital, Prince Mu's Mansion became cold and dissatisfied with my master. When the rebellion broke out later, my master tried to stop it, which displeased Prince Mu. He became even more displeased with us. In order to prevent us from spreading rumors and misleading the people, he even ordered people to seal off the mountain. Fortunately, he was afraid of my master's reputation and never used force against us."

After a pause, seeing that Zhao Duan was still alert, Lu Cheng continued:

"It's just that a few days ago, a friend of my master crossed the defense line and came to visit the mountain. He has been staying in the academy for a few days. Today, that friend also said that someone would come, so my master asked me to come early in the morning to wait. I just didn't expect that the person who came was Scholar Zhao."

Zhengyang’s friend?
The four people in the car looked at each other, and their expressions became more and more weird.

However, no matter how many doubts you have, you will eventually find out the answer only when you go up the mountain.

Zhong Pan looked at the unicorn who was so tired that he could not climb the mountain anymore, and said distressedly: "It is difficult to drive up further, let's climb the mountain on foot."

Zhao Duan nodded, and then several people got off the carriage and followed Lu Cheng up the mountain path.

However, at this moment, Jin Jian, who was walking behind, suddenly realized something and turned his head to look down the mountain. The girl exclaimed, "He's coming!"

Zhao Duan turned his head and looked back, his pupils suddenly narrowed!

I saw a large mass of dark clouds gathering in the distance, the sky darkened visibly, and the sunlight was also blocked.

A billowing cloud of thick smoke rose from the forest, and then a figure in armor rushed to the foot of the mountain like a cannonball.

He raised his head and laughed grimly:
"Zhengyang Mountain, you actually came to Zhengyang Mountain? Haha, I will just wipe out all of you bastards in one fell swoop!"

Xu Jingtang!
He finally caught up at the last minute!

After running frantically for two or three days, even with the power of a god, Xu Jingtang was still dusty and in a rather miserable state.

His crown had fallen off at some point, his hair was disheveled, and his face was grim and filled with anger.

Who is he? He thought he could easily get a few lives, but he had been chasing them for so long.

"Run! I want to see how many times you can run!"

Xu Jingtang was extremely furious and rushed towards the mountain. Because of his rage, thick smoke gushed out of his armor. It was a strong sense of dejection, and as soon as it spread, the grass and trees withered.

"Oh no... hurry up the mountain!"

Zhao Duan's face changed drastically. Everyone had no way to save their lives, so he subconsciously wanted to pull everyone up the mountain.

However, Zhong Pan did not move. He just leaned on the sword with both hands and said calmly, "It's too late."

Xu Jingtang came too fast and would catch up in just a few breaths, so there was no way he could escape.

Zhao Duan, Jin Jian and Yuxiu all looked pale. They had escaped all this way and were about to reach their destination, but were they going to fail?

However, Zhong Pan had already taken a step forward and stood in front of everyone. The little Taoist priest said without even turning his head:

"You guys continue to go up the mountain, I'll try to hold him back for a while!"

"Senior Brother!" Yuxiu's face changed.

Judge Zhong said calmly:
"In the past few days, I have broken through many curses on my body and have recovered a lot of my cultivation. If I activate the secret method, I can temporarily recover my realm. I am the only one who can try to stop him. Don't waste time, go!"

Having said that, without waiting for Zhao Duan and the others to react, he suddenly raised the scarlet sword that he was leaning on with both hands. The broad sword body suddenly lit up with a bright red light, and a powerful aura slowly rose.

The young Taoist priest had no expression on his face and slashed out with a sword in the air!
A powerful sword energy broke away from the sword blade and turned into a rainbow light, crashing into Xu Jingtang who was coming with thick smoke.

"How dare you, a mere mortal, stop me?!"

Xu Jingtang was in a somewhat insane mental state. Seeing this, he laughed and punched him.

When the fist was thrown out, the layers of gray smoke condensed into a fist, easily smashing the thick sword energy!
Xu Jingtang also stood on the mountain path, looked up at Zhong Pan with disdain, and sneered:
"A disciple of the Tianshi Mansion, is this all you have? I don't want to be an enemy of the Tianshi Mansion, but you don't know how to advance or retreat, so don't blame me for being merciless!"

Zhong Pan had no expression on his face. He just silently held the sword suspended in the air in front of him, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at King Mu.

He put one hand on the hilt of the sword and suddenly drew a circle in the air. In an instant, the scarlet sword also drew a circle in the air, and dozens of long swords appeared.

On Zhengyang Mountain, the inspiration of heaven and earth gathered together madly.

Dozens of big swords formed a circular sword formation, spinning wildly behind the little master, and a devastating force was brewing.

Zhong Pan pursed his lips, his eyes solemn on his ugly and ferocious face, and he pulled his right elbow back suddenly to gather strength, and there was a sound of thunder in the mountains.

Then, Zhong Pan suddenly punched out with his right fist, hitting the hilt of the sword hard!

Suddenly.

A violent wind swept across Zhengyang Mountain, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be pulled away. The scarlet sword flew out with a bang, engulfing the entire sword formation behind it. It was like the raging waves of the East China Sea, bursting out with brilliant rainbow light, and stabbed fiercely at Xu Jingtang!
Zhao Duan's heart trembled, and he clearly felt the power of this sword.

This is the strongest sword that can be unleashed in this world.

"You don't know what you can do!" Xu Jingtang's eyes turned cold, he took a step forward, opened the five fingers of his right hand, and grabbed the long sword!

The wind howled, the sky and the earth changed color, and the entire Zhengyang Mountain was shrouded in gray clouds.

The area within a radius of several miles fell into darkness, as if countless creatures were weeping. An illusory arm of a god appeared and was led by Xu Jingtang to meet the sword.

The next second, Xu Jingtang grabbed the tip of the sword with his right hand and squeezed it hard.

"Crack!"

The tip of the scarlet sword actually broke apart. Zhong Pan pushed with both hands in anger, and the tiger in his body vaguely emerged at this moment. Then, the powerful kinetic energy pushed the sword and actually shook Xu Jingtang's arm away.

Under the latter's surprised gaze, the sword cut a deep wound on Xu Jingtang's palm that was visible to the bone, and then the giant sword slammed into Xu Jingtang's armored chest.

however……

The giant sword failed to penetrate, but with a sound like teeth-grinding, the scarlet sword body actually broke into pieces, twisted, and deformed...

In the end, only the hilt and a twisted blade were left on Xu Jingtang's chest.

He opened his arms and shook them lightly, and the scrap copper and iron sword flew away. Zhong Pan raised his head sharply and spat out a mouthful of blood, then flew backwards!

Under the gazes of Zhao Duan and others, he slammed heavily into the rocks, and his body was almost embedded in the ground in a spread-eagle shape!

"Senior Brother!" Jin Jian and Yu Xiu were anxious and rushed over. Zhao Duan's brain buzzed and he also rushed over.

Zhong Pan's chest was covered in blood. He struggled to sit up from the ground with a gloomy face. He shook his head and said:

"I'm fine... cough cough... this god... is so strong..."

Xu Jingtang raised his palm and saw the flesh and blood on it healing rapidly. His eyes were filled with more anger:

"You have no idea of ​​my power. You are so foolish as to try to stop a chariot with your bare hands. All right, I will send you off together."

As he spoke, he took another step forward, spread out his five fingers, and was about to curse Zhao Duan and the others to death from a distance.

however……

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a calm voice coming from the academy on Zhengyang Mountain:

"You want to kill them, have you asked me?"

The voice was extremely faint, but it easily traveled across a thousand meters and reached everyone's ears, as if it was whispering in their ears.

Xu Jingtang looked up suddenly, with a strong sense of warning in his heart.

Zhao Duan also suddenly raised his head, and saw in his field of vision, in the sky, a majestic green light suddenly... burst out!
-

ps: Sorry, I didn't have time to kill them all...
