At the moment when the three men rushed into the black fog, three more sword Qi roared from different directions, but Huang Xi reacted quickly enough to empty the three sword Qi.
It was dark at present. Yuxi''s hand tightly grasped Su Chen''s arm and took him to the depths of the black fog. Soon, even Su Chen was dizzy and didn''t know where he was.
"Is it lingjianfeng?" Xue Honglian''s voice came, and her tone was very dignified.
Huang Xi said, "I don''t know. It''s possible. In fact, at first I thought it would be you."
Su Chen frowned: "what''s going on?"
He felt that, in fact, Yuxi had always been closely protecting his safety. She had long known that someone would assassinate Su Chen, so she kept the highest vigilance all the way, and was able to respond the fastest at the moment of the attack.
"Find a safe place first."
Yuxi walked through the black fog, and soon led them to a low-lying cave, blocking the only entrance and exit of the cave, dispersing the black fog, igniting the flame and restoring visibility.
In the narrow cave, the three sat on the ground. Su Chen and Xue Honglian were looking at Huang Xi and waiting for her explanation.
Knowing that she couldn''t hide, Huang Xi sighed helplessly, looked at Su Chen and said: "From the day you became elder Ke Qing, I knew there would be people in Lingshan sect who couldn''t tolerate you. It''s a matter of time before you assassinate. The seven elders are suspected. Just now those killers have sharp swords. They seem to be disciples of lingjianfeng, but you can''t be deceived by appearances. Your potential enemy is not only lingjianfeng, but the whole Lingshan sect except me and my mother."
"What good can they get by killing me?"
"In terms of appearance, it will certainly be of great benefit to kill you to vacate the position of elder Ke Qing, but this is the appearance, the actual core of the problem... Forget it, it''s all like this, there''s nothing to say. In fact, assassinating you is only a secondary purpose, and the real purpose is to test the empress."
Hearing the speech, Su Chen and Xue Honglian stared.
"Who is so bold and dare to test lady Xuanji?"
"It''s very complicated. It has a lot to do with the current pattern of Lingshan sect. The seven elders have secretly reached an alliance and formed a check and balance against empress Xuanji. Outsiders seem that empress Xuanji leads Lingshan sect alone, and her authority can''t be challenged, but in fact, Lingshan sect is controlled by the seven elders. All the disciples belong to the seven elders sect. Empress didn''t like to manage the sect in her early years This has led to serious decentralization. Now it is difficult to recover the rights that have been distributed. "
Su Chen still didn''t understand, but Xue Honglian seemed to notice something.
"So the empress sent you to protect old Su Changlao? Does the empress already know that someone is going to be bad for old Su Changlao?"
Huang Xi nodded and admitted.
"No wonder every time I call you, you will come here. I thought you were fascinated by me. It turned out that you were arranged by your mother and didn''t dare not follow." Su Chen said with a bitter smile.
Yuxi gave Su Chen a white look: "when are you still in the mood to joke."
Su Chen shrugged: "activate the atmosphere. You are more nervous than me. I''m a little embarrassed."
With that, Su Chen turned and looked at Xue Honglian: "since the other party is running for me, Xiao Honglian, you''d better go first. If you go alone, the other party won''t embarrass you, but it''s too dangerous to be with me."
Xue Honglian immediately refused: "no, I won''t go. Since I met this, I certainly can''t sit back and ignore it. No matter who wants to kill you, I''ll stay to protect your safety. This is Xue Honglian''s code of conduct. I''ll defend injustice, punish evil and eliminate evil at all costs!"
What a chivalrous woman.
Yuxi said, "you can''t go now if you want to go. If the other party sees you, they will kill people."
"Even better, now that we are all on the same boat, I have no reason to leave alone." Xue Honglian was fearless and courageous.
As the youngest Qi Tianjing of Lingshan sect, it is normal for her to have such courage.
"Stab!"
Just then, a sword roared.
Without saying a word, Yuxi pushed Su Chen away directly. At the same time, the sword Qi containing the meaning of killing was strongly cut off, and a deep blood mark was cut directly on Yuxi, which immediately splashed with blood.
"Highly toxic!"
Xue Honglian was shocked. She saw that Huang Xi''s wound began to fester at a speed visible to the naked eye. The highly toxic poison broke into Huang Xi''s eyebrows in an instant. Once the toxin invaded the sea, she would die.
Su Chen''s eyes and hands were quick. He directly played an in-situ resurrection card and instantly let Huang Xi recover as before.
After walking back from the ghost gate, Huang Xi was pale, but there was no time to speak. The second sword came again.
"Thousand machine shield!"
Xue Honglian made a decisive move and offered a strange shield in front of Su Chen.
Boom!
The shield was directly hit by the sword gas, making a dull noise and breaking on the spot, but it barely blocked the attack of the sword gas.
"It''s a strong sword. The other party''s cultivation is no less than mine, and there are a large number of people. We can''t love war. We quickly withdraw to the third floor of Tongtian tower."
"Good!"
The other party can easily find their hiding place in the black fog. It can be seen that the hiding effect of the black fog has been cracked. In this way, the environment of the black fog is unfavorable to them. They are in a state where the enemy is dark and self-evident. In this way, they can only be attacked passively.
The most important thing is that it is not conducive to the stop of Su Chen''s casting time.
If you can''t master the number and whereabouts of the other party, even if Su Chen stops playing time, you can''t fight back if you can''t find the other party.
Hold up the frightened Yuxi. Su Chen and Xue Honglian quickly break through the black fog. They ignore the attacks of the fierce animals around and run straight up the mountain.
But at this time, a swordsman with a silver mask has stopped the way. With one sword, he looks like thousands of troops and horses. The meaning of the sword is even stronger than ye Changshu.
Once the opponent''s sword, Xue Honglian can''t resist it.
Su Chen made a quick decision and directly used the time to stop.
Under the rule of time, all beings are equal, and the swordsman fell into a freeze frame state in an instant.
Of course, Xue Honglian around Su Chen couldn''t move.
Su Chen picked up Xue Honglian and went straight to the swordsman. He wanted to lift the silver mask on his face to see his true face, but his body protection spirit was too strong and even contained the meaning of sword. Su Chen was only close, so he was passively attacked by the sword Qi and had to give up.
With both feet kicking hard, Su Chen quickly ran to the top of the mountain and stepped on the steps leading to the third floor.
Entering the third floor, there is a windy and snowy ice field and snow in front. Looking at it, it is white and cold.
Su Chen rushed into the snowstorm, and then the snow cover disappeared.
