Chapter 11: Dark Calculation X Slaughter

  Five or six miles is not far away. I thought that when I arrived, Ming Jian should have already ended the battle, but unexpectedly, when he arrived, the battle was getting more and more intense.

  "What's going on?!"

  The tombstones on the chaotic burial mound had long been leveled by the sword energy, and Mingjian held a long sword to fight against a mass of black air. Although the sword energy was overwhelming, it sometimes forced the black air to retreat step by step, and sometimes cut the black air into powder, but no matter what, it could not fundamentally eliminate this mass of black air.

  Lei Dong and others were more than ten zhang away, surrounding a circle. Not everyone was there yet, with seven or eight people present, plus Chen Sheng who had just rushed over, making exactly ten people in total.

  These ten captors, who were usually quite intimidating in Dongling County, all looked very tense, their hands gripping their weapons trembling slightly, their waists bent, their legs crooked, their bodies leaning forward, with a hesitant appearance of wanting to go up but not daring to. This was just a pose, after all, with their insignificant abilities, they couldn't even get involved.

  "You, Wudao Daoist, I have no grudge against you, why must you persistently pursue me? Why not take a step back and let me go? I'll leave this accursed place immediately. How about it?"

  Under the sword's oppressive aura, that mass of dark energy finally couldn't withstand it and began to beg for mercy.

  "You and I have no grudges, but you cultivate evil arts, take the lives of innocent people, and harm many. Such a scourge on heaven and earth, how can my sword tolerate you?!" Ming Jian's face was cold and stern, his hand gripping his sword tightly, "If I let you go today, what face will I have to meet my fellow disciples at the Six Panels Gate, or to face my fellow Taoists in Jianghu!!"

  "Alright, alright, you're a good one, a six-panel door's running dog! Since you've made up your mind to send me to my death, I have nothing more to say!" As he spoke, a whistling sound came from the black fog, and in an instant, over a dozen whips condensed from the black fog struck towards Mingjian.

  Ming Jian's mouth corner rose in a sneer, the long sword in his hand emitted points of cold starlight, each point accurately hitting the tip of the black whip, and the sharp sword energy followed, dispersing the black whip one by one.

  Hei Bian had a total of seven whips. When he hit the fifth whip, an extremely strange change occurred. The fifth black whip was also hit by Han Xing, and in an instant it dispersed into black smoke. However, at the same time it dispersed into black smoke, a dark green light shot out from the whip's shadow, its speed several dozen times faster than before.

  Ming Jian was also slightly numb at this time, and the light was really too fast, he simply didn't have time to dodge. By the time he reacted, the light had already hit his right arm.

  No good!!

  A sharp pain came from his right arm, he knew it was bad, but it was already too late.

  His eyes scanned the surroundings, and his pupils involuntarily contracted. It wasn't a hidden weapon, but a small, dark green snake about the size of a little finger, biting into his right upper arm. The pain wasn't severe, but the numbness that followed made his heart sink.

  Toxic and highly toxic.

  As he spoke, the snake was quickly split into two segments by a flash of sword light, falling to the ground and writhing for a few moments before becoming still. However, almost immediately afterwards, he felt his right hand go limp, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground. His left fingers moved swiftly, pressing several points on his right arm to seal off the flow of energy, but even so, it was impossible to stop the dark green poison from spreading towards his right shoulder.

  Ming Jian knew it was no good. A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and a cold light shot out from his left sleeve, cutting across to the top of his right arm.

  A cold light flashed, and his right arm fell to the ground. The cut on his right arm initially spurted out red blood, but was soon replaced by black, ink-like toxic blood. If he had acted a step later, this poison would have spread to half of his body by now.

  Everything happened in the blink of an eye, from the black whip being drawn out to the bright sword cutting off its own right arm, all within a single breath.

  In the blink of an eye, the situation suddenly turned around, so fast that people couldn't react in time. The people surrounding Lei Dong didn't know what happened, they just saw Ming Jian cut off his own right arm and sensed that something had changed, subconsciously becoming vigilant. It was this vigilance that saved them, as well as Ming Jian himself.

  Just as the sword cut off his right arm, the black fog suddenly changed and split into a large mouth full of sharp teeth, rapidly pouncing on Ming Jian. At this time, Ming Jian's right arm had just fallen to the ground, and the dark blood hadn't even had time to flow out. Faced with the attack, all Ming Jian could do was retreat, backing away.

  "Hahaha, okay, okay, aren't you going to kill me? Now I want to see who kills whom!" In the dark fog, a sinister and evil laughter echoed, that black big mouth full of sharp teeth seemed to swallow Mingjian in one bite.

  "Xu Fu, use Xu Fu!"

  The first to react was Chen Sheng, who let out a loud roar and crushed the sword token in his hand. A beam of sword light shot out, heading straight for the black maw. Lei Dong quickly followed suit, crushing his own sword token as well.

  As Lei Dong crushed the sword token in his hand, the remaining eight people, except for the first two who discovered the evil cultivator and had already used up their own sword tokens, including Tie Jian, all crushed the sword tokens in their hands at the same time, using their internal energy to propel the sword energy, shooting it towards the black mouth transformed from the black fog.

  But in the flash of sword light, eight sword lights simultaneously shot into the black big mouth.

  Pffft!

  A flash of sword light swept across, tearing the big mouth into countless fragments, turning it into a fragmented black banner, scattering and falling, never to pose any threat again.

  The black flag fell like a piece of broken cloth, letting everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but immediately afterwards, a strange change occurred.

  The black flag closest to Ming Jian suddenly twisted and turned into a black figure, rushing straight at Ming Jian.

  "Not good!!"

  It happened suddenly, almost no one could react, except for Mingjian.

  He blocked with his left arm.

  All he heard was a "ding" sound, the short sword in his left hand splashed out a spark, and a strong force surged from the short sword, knocking his body flying out.

  The black shadow revealed its true form, which was the Taoist evil cultivator from that day. His face was deathly pale, obviously heavily injured, but his eyes emitted a faint, eerie red glow.

  "This is what you've forced me into, this is what you've forced me into! Six doors can't be opened, isn't that right? Today I'll kill you, I'm going to kill you!"

  In a fierce cry, the short sword in his right hand flashed with cold light and stabbed directly into Mingjian's left chest.

  At this time, Ming Jian had already fallen to the ground and didn't know if he was really plagued by bad luck. The place where he fell was exactly where there was a protruding sharp tree stump. That tree stump was so unlucky that it heavily pierced his thigh, penetrating into his body. The intense pain made his body stiffen, instantly losing its ability to move. Faced with this evil cultivator's attack, he simply couldn't dodge in time.

  Just as the sword was about to pierce his chest, a flash of flame suddenly flashed before their eyes. The bright sword didn't seem to have any effect, but the evil cultivator who was pouncing on him stumbled in mid-air and let out a blood-curdling scream. He covered his left eye with his hand and fell from the sky. Then, a figure rushed out and charged towards the evil cultivator, raising his long knife high and slashing it heavily at the evil cultivator's neck.

  Hand rises, knife falls, blood splatters, head flies!

  Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

  Tie Jun held the knife, maintaining the chopping posture, standing there, Xiu's hot blood splashed on his head and face. Although he was a martial artist, he had never experienced such a scene before, so he stood stiffly, only feeling a surge of acid water rising from his abdomen to his throat.

  His face turned pale and white, with a loud clang, the long knife in his hand fell to the ground, he also bowed his waist, stumbled two steps forward, and then fell to the ground, hands propping up the ground, dry vomiting.

  The blood and vomit that flowed down from his head once again irritated his sensitive stomach, and another wave of indescribable intestinal turmoil ensued.

  "Clang, clang, clang..." A series of metallic sounds echoed as the surrounding captors, except for Lei Dong, relaxed from their highly tense emotions. Their hands loosened and their weapons fell to the ground. Several of them even collapsed onto the ground.

  It's too damn exciting!!

  Although they are all captives, where can you normally see such an exciting scene?

  The man's head was chopped off, and a column of blood shot up, covering his body and face.

  What a thrill! It's too thrilling!

  Lei Dongqiang endured the pain and walked to the corpse of the evil cultivator, his eyes scanning around the body. After a while, he found several pieces that looked like shattered jade near the corpse. It was this thing that had injured the evil cultivator's eyes at the most critical moment, but now it seemed to have shattered into useless fragments.

  "What a good opportunity has been missed!"

  Just as he was picking things up, Mingjian, who had broken one arm, also slowly walked over, squatted down and picked up a fragment, placed it in the palm of his hand to examine it carefully, turned his head around, looked at Tie Jian who was still vomiting there, and sighed slightly, "It's really a pity that such a good treasure has been wasted!!"
