Chapter 255: Breaking Through (Part Five)
Traveling on the dragon, able to go a thousand miles in a day, Meng Guangze's consciousness expanded, able to encompass hundreds of miles.
With these two cheats, Qiao Wan appeared to be unstoppable, especially with a powerful weapon by her side, resting with closed eyes.
Speed is crucial in war.
In just a few blinks of an eye, they quickly located the positions of the other disciples.
And so, while the disciples were still fighting desperately in a desperate situation, they saw a flying dragon descend from the sky.
Soaring through the heavens, swallowing mountains and rivers.
With an effort, they kicked away the demon beast in front of them, drew their sword, and caught a glimpse of a dragon shadow in the clouds. The Chongde Ancient Garden disciple paused for a moment, then gritted their teeth and shouted, charging towards the girl at the forefront.
The Chongde Ancient Garden disciple, who had been on the verge of despair, widened their eyes and exclaimed in surprise when they saw a dragon soaring in the sky.
"It's another one!"
"Another one has come!"
"Elder martial sister!"
Jie Hongdan turned around suddenly and was immediately shocked.
Where did this dragon come from again?
Having fought bravely until now, they were depleted of their spiritual power and exhausted.
And now, there was yet another dragon that almost occupied the entire sky before them.
The clouds rolled and the dragon circled in the sky.
The disciples present all wore a look of despair in their eyes.
With another dragon appearing, they really couldn't hold on any longer.
"Cheer up!" Jie Hongdan from the Chongde Ancient Garden raised an eyebrow and took the first step forward. "Even if we die, we can't die like cowards!"
At this thought, the other disciples gritted their teeth and tightened their grip on their swords, ready to face the dragon in the sky.
Unexpectedly, the dragon did not launch an attack. After circling a few times in the clouds, it slowly descended.
The dragon's tail swayed, reaching to the sky, and its scales shimmered like a thousand miles of red glow.
Jie Hongdan was taken aback, and his grip on the sword involuntarily loosened.
Unexpectedly, a palm suddenly descended from the sky.
"Oh no! Run!" Jie Hongdan shouted, but it was too late.
The palm struck like a nimble dragon, revealing the shadow of a black dragon in the air. With a roar, the black dragon swiftly brushed past Jie Hongdan and his disciples, disappearing underground in an instant.
With just one palm, the ground behind everyone cracked open, creating a deep ravine several zhang long.
Countless beasts, previously held captive by the flying dragon, were unable to stop in time and tumbled into the ravine like a collapsing mountain.
Jie Hongdan couldn't believe his eyes as he looked down from the sky at the flying dragon.
This one palm... completely changed the landscape.
Could a human really unleash such power?
Just then, under the shadow of the sword, a clear and gentle voice suddenly sounded.
A young man, dressed in colorful robes, stood on the back of a dragon, with clouds and mist swirling beneath his feet. With a serious expression, he raised his voice and shouted, "I am Lu Cixian from Buping College! I urge all taoist friends to come forward and join us! Let's break through this fairy palace and fight to the death against the demons!"
Lu Cixian?! The crowd was shocked and began to stir.
The disciples of Chongde Ancient Garden who had heard of Lu Cixian's name were filled with joy, while those who hadn't heard of Buping College looked puzzled.
"There is no time to lose! All taoist friends, please quickly climb onto the dragon's back and join us!"
Jie Hongdan, who had met Lu Cixian before on Lisheng Peak, knew that he was a friend and not an enemy. Realizing the urgency of the situation, he sheathed his sword and was the first to climb the "dragon ladder" hanging from the dragon's tail, ascending into the sky.
As soon as they reached the dragon's back, Qiao Wan immediately reached out her hand and pulled someone up.
Jie Hongdan was tired, but his eyes were bright and his face was filled with excitement. "Taoist Friend Xie has come to help us!" he exclaimed.
Seeing this, the others also climbed up the dragon ladder, collected their magical tools, and sat down.
The desolate oil clouds and the vast wind brushed past their ears. Exhausted from their narrow escape, the disciples sat on the dragon's spine, finally able to catch their breath.
However, before they could fully relax, their curious gazes turned towards two distant monks.
Was that the person in the mysterious robe who had unleashed a powerful strike earlier?
The man half-closed his eyes, his expression calm as if he was resting.
Recalling the earth-shattering strike from earlier, everyone felt a shiver down their spine, with cold sweat pouring down.
Is this... is this person really human?
Why didn't they know that another formidable figure had joined their group?
As each line reached its end, the young man stood on the dragon's spine and shouted loudly.
"I am Lu Cixian from Buping College! Please, my fellow taoist friends, come forward quickly and meet with us! Let us open this fairy palace and fight desperately against the demon realm!"
"I am Lu Cixian from Buping College! Please, my fellow taoist friends, come forward quickly and meet with us! Let us open this fairy palace and fight desperately against the demon realm!"
The dragon roared above Xie Xingzhi and his group, causing a sudden noise.
Qiao Wan climbed onto the dragon's spine, furrowing her brows and shouting, "Taoist Friend Xie, I am Lu Cixian from Buping College! Please, my fellow taoist friends, come forward quickly and meet with us! Let us open this fairy palace and fight desperately against the demon realm!"
Lu Cixian?
Even Xie Xingzhi couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Their eyes met.
The young man's hat was stained with blood, and the black robe displayed the Yin and Yang Tai Chi, with splashes of blood resembling mountains, rivers, clouds, and mist. His eyes were cold and filled with a murderous intent.
In that instant, past grievances vanished, and a trace of trust appeared in the young man's eyes.
Xie Xingzhi didn't immediately step forward, instead, he turned his head and spoke in a low voice, "Let others go first! I'll stay behind!"
On Chaotian Mountain, a young Taoist became worried and exclaimed, "Martial brother, your wounds!"
On the man's back, there was a deep cut that revealed his bones, and it was horrifying to look at.
If the cut were just one inch deeper, it seemed like Xie Xingzhi would have been split in half immediately!
Xie Xingzhi showed a determined expression, and the other disciples were on the verge of tears.
"Taoist Friend Xie, please go ahead!" they pleaded.
When they first met him, they thought that this renowned prodigy seemed arrogant and stubborn, but throughout their journey, he had protected them during the onslaught of beasts and led from the front. And now, he voluntarily took up the rear position!
Though they still thought this prodigy was a bit clueless, it didn't stop them from admiring him as a true gentleman who took action and helped those in need.
Xie Xingzhi ignored his younger martial brother and instead looked at Lu Cixian. He nodded slightly and said in a solemn voice, "Taoist Friend Lu, I am willing to be the one to guard the rear and trouble you to lead the way!"
Sitting on the dragon's back, Jia Yin, the Demon Emperor, was peacefully resting when he heard these words, causing him to glance aside. He then replied in a lower voice, "You don't need to clear the way."
In his voice, there was a subtle hint of admiration. Jia Yin, the fierce warrior, always appreciated young people who were strong and fearless.
Before anyone could react, a thunderous forceful palm came from the sky, splitting the valley and separating the monsters from the group of people, leaving them astounded on Chaotian Mountain.
Xie Xingzhi was taken aback. It took him a moment to realize what had happened but he quickly thanked the person and climbed onto the dragon's back.
This time, the others finally understood. They couldn't help but admire and be curious about the person who possessed such incredible power. They whispered to each other, speculating that this person might be a hidden leader in disguise.
I wonder who is underneath this disguise?
No matter what, having a powerful person by your side always makes you feel safe.
As they continued their journey, a small group on the ground was hiding from the approaching beasts, trying to break free from the encirclement.
With a loud shout from Lu Cixian, a slender and snow-like face emerged from the crowd - a young boy.
Pei Chunzheng and the young boy both paused for a moment when they first saw each other.
The young boy's face, as fair as jade, had a few splatters of blood and his eyes were cold and stern.
Although he was a demon, he still tried his best to protect the companions behind him during this dangerous moment.
"Lu... Taoist Friend Lu...?!" The young man with white hair, who had obviously been crying, showed a happy expression. Excitement and admiration filled his glass-like eyes as he ignored his wounds and stumbled towards Lu Cixian.
"Taoist Friend Lu... have you... have you seen Sister Wan'er? Is she still here?"
Pei Chunzheng, holding tightly onto his sword, couldn't help but become tense.
Lu Cixian, or Qiao Wan , looked away, her throat choked slightly.
"Sorry, Taoist Friend Gan," whispered Qiao Wan. "I...I'm not sure either."
Although feeling guilty, Qiao Wan couldn't show up at this time.
Hope shattered as the young man stumbled and his eyes welled up with tears again.
Qiao Wan reassured him, "Qiao Wan has escaped from danger many times before, maybe she can do it again this time."
"Taoist Friend Gan, please join us and help us destroy this immortal palace to fight against the demon realm."
The young man fell to the ground and finally couldn't hold back his sobbing.
After crying for a while, he wiped away his tears and suddenly transformed into a white dragon, shining brightly in the sky.
With a sorrowful expression, the white dragon said, "I, Gan, am powerless to help you, taoist friends. Please, those who can't sit, climb onto my back. It will prevent your wounds from being squeezed, and I can at least contribute a little."
Qiao Wan closed her lips tightly and turned her slightly downcast gaze away.
She didn't want to acknowledge Gan Nan .
Gan Nan was her first and best friend.
She... she missed him too!!
But Qiao Wan had more important things to do now!
The fire in the stove just went out.
As Meng Guangze looked at the newly forged sword and the slightly confused young girl in front of him, his voice was gentle yet powerful.
"Xing Fan Zheng, Jin Xi Mei, Gong Ye Qiao, Huo Qi De, Poupeng and Mo Ye have arrived."
"Without peeling and sharpening, the rope cannot be cut; with peeling and sharpening, the tray, the basin, and suddenly the ear."
"Little Wan, being a person is like forging a sword," Meng Guangze touched his daughter's head, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes showed kindness and benevolence, "Don't be afraid, heaven will bestow great tasks upon you. Anything that cannot kill you will make you stronger."
The sword in his hand was made of black gold, and the hilt was carved with a strong and vigorous character.
"Let's go!"
The Red Fire Golden Fetus was embedded in the center of the sword, emitting colorful and radiant light.
After enduring the trials of war and battles, the Wen Si Xing Zhu Sword awaited the moment to unleash its power and conquer the unknown.
