Chapter 15 Castle Lord

"They don't seem to see it?" Jiang Zhiwei whispered to Meng Qi, pointing with her left hand at several masters who could also see the stone wall. They ignored the task prompt.

Meng Qi nodded, but Zhang Yuanshan smiled bitterly and said softly: "So you will see this after completing the task..."

When they rescued Tan Wenbo, they thought they had completed one of the side tasks. If they had known that there would be a prompt earlier, Qingjing would not have been so careless and lost his life.

"If we don't kill them, maybe we can only complete the side task by finding the antidote for the Heart Pill." Meng Qi guessed.

Qi Xia sighed: "I hope there won't be any more accidents."

She tore off her clothes and bandaged her left shoulder, which had just been hastily acupunctured to stop the bleeding, with the help of Jiang Zhiwei.

Ge Chongshan and others mourned for a while, and then restrained their emotions and ran to the central hall along the road they had just explored.

This corridor was empty except for the torches that seemed to be burning all the time. Moreover, since Ge Chongshan, Qi Zhengyan, Qi Xia and others all knew how to use light skills, their footsteps were very light. Only Meng Qi's heavy footsteps in the entire corridor aroused waves of echoes and fell to the end.

"Little monk, they look at you with suspicion." Suddenly, Jiang Zhiwei laughed softly.

Meng Qi said helplessly: "I would also doubt it."

How could a little monk with low martial arts skills, perhaps not as good as an ordinary farmhand of Ge Chongshan's family, be brought to Yinhuang Fort by his "master" to kill the master of this generation of masters?

This is not a place for fun!

Unless there is another hidden story!

Jiang Zhiwei looked ahead and said: "After killing the master of Yinhuang Fort, they may surround and capture us, so we must be careful."

"It doesn't matter. After the mission is over, he should be taken away by the 'Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation' immediately." Meng Qi said based on his "experience".

"I hope so." Jiang Zhiwei's tone became low, and then she asked very seriously, "Little monk, when we fight later, are you willing to believe me without reservation?"

Meng Qi was stunned and said, "Don't I always believe you? You told me to take two steps to the left, and I took two steps to the left."

He thought Jiang Zhiwei was referring to the lack of cooperation, and he felt a little aggrieved. He didn't have any doubts at all, and he acted quickly!

Jiang Zhiwei continued in a low voice: "Not this, I mean, even if there are cliffs and swords ahead, if I ask you to rush forward, you are still willing to believe me, overcome your fear of death, and rush forward with all your strength."

Meng Qi hesitated. If he had coaxed his girlfriend before, he should have sworn and said "You rush, I rush too", but Jiang Zhiwei was obviously referring to the battle later, and it was not aimless. He couldn't just talk nonsense and miss the opportunity.

Jiang Zhiwei didn't urge Meng Qi to answer, and let him think quietly.

Meng Qi's face changed repeatedly, and his expression was distorted. In the end, he thought that if Jiang Zhiwei failed, he would probably have no way to survive. Anyway, he would be carrying Jiang Zhiwei on his back and rushing forward. She couldn't commit suicide!

Gritting his teeth, Meng Qi said in a deep voice: "Miss Jiang, I believe you!"

Anyway, we are grasshoppers on the same rope!

"Remember this sentence." Jiang Zhiwei said solemnly, "You have not learned Qinggong, and your steps can't keep up with my swordsmanship, so I can only defend, but this is not my forte. If necessary, maybe I will fight."

At this point, she smiled: "Don't worry too much, maybe the owner of the Hidden Emperor Fort will die by himself?"

Meng Qi couldn't laugh, and reluctantly said: "I hope so."

Along the way, no more enemies were encountered. Jiang Zhiwei, Meng Qi and others successfully arrived at the central hall.

This is a palace-style hall with eight corridors around it connecting the square here with various parts of the Hidden Emperor Fort.

At this time, the gate was open, and several bright yellow flowers were dotted in front of the hall. Dozens of black-robed people were kneeling in the hall. On the throne, a thin middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a beautiful beard was sitting there majestically, saying loudly:

"I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

As soon as the voice fell, dozens of kneeling black-robed people stood up and turned around. Their faces were distorted, their eyes were red, and their muscles bulged, making their clothes bulge.

"Brother!"

"Uncle Master!"

"Ming Kang!"

...

Calls came from the mouths of the masters brought by Ge Chongshan. Obviously, some of the black-robed people were their old friends.

Hehe, the black-robed people roared like beasts, and there was no rationality in their eyes.

"Devil, what did you do to them?" Someone shouted in grief.

The fortress lord shouted: "Do you still have the idea of ​​​​being superior or inferior? How dare you roar at the king and father!"

He stood up slowly, pointed at the black-robed man and said: "They voluntarily transformed into wild beasts to lead the way for me! After I wipe out the rebellion, I will protect their descendants and ensure their eternal glory and wealth!"

"Beast!"

"Madman!"

A voice of curse rang out, and Ge Chongshan barely kept his sanity and said: "Hand over the Heart-Seizing Pill and the antidote to the poison of the transformed beast, and we can still spare your life!"

There are many punishments worse than death!

"Haha, haha." The fortress lord pointed his fingers into a sword and laughed: "These elixirs are all sent by heaven, how can there be an antidote?"

"I am ordered by heaven, and everyone in the country obeys it, but you deceive the king, and die!"

God-given... Meng Qi's heart suddenly moved.

The dozens of black-robed men immediately jumped out of the hall and pounced on Ge Chongshan and others. Judging from their speed and actions, their martial arts are extraordinary.

"They are all close to enlightenment..." Jiang Zhiwei sighed, "If we hadn't waited for Master Ge and the others, I don't know how many of us would have died before we could kill the master."

She seemed to still be quite confident in her strength before she was injured.

Ge Chongshan and the others couldn't bear to see their old friend suffer, so they didn't bother to "ask" Jiang Zhiwei's master. After keeping a watchful eye, they all went to meet him. Zhang Yuanshan was mixed in with them, and in a few steps, he magically bypassed those black-robed people and rushed into the hall!

"The 'Eight Trigrams Shocking Steps' of the Zhenwu School are really magical." Jiang Zhiwei couldn't help but sigh, "There is no poisonous fog. We went around the edge of the square and entered the hall."

She knew clearly that Meng Qi's martial arts were low. If he shuttled through the crowd, he might not be able to break through. Now the black-robed people and Ge Chongshan and nearly a hundred other masters were fighting hard near the entrance of the hall in the square, so it was just right to bypass them from the edge.

Meng Qi also saw Qi Xia walking through the battlefield, passing through the "flowers" and "trees", rushing to help Zhang Yuanshan, so he ran to the edge of the square without saying anything, while Qi Zhengyan was stopped by a man in black robes and could not get away for a while.

Clang!

As soon as Meng Qi reached the edge of the square, he saw the stone door fall down, blocking the passage.

"None of you can escape!" The fortress lord's hands were iron-blue, and he took Zhang Yuanshan's sword.

"There must be other passages, he is here too!" Ge Chongshan shouted loudly to calm people's hearts, and then the iron fan flew, and after taking two hits, he also rushed into the hall.

Meng Qi did not dare to delay, and ran to the entrance of the hall, and then under the command of Jiang Zhiwei, he passed through the sparse and less chaotic battlefield here.

In the hall, Ge Chongshan, Zhang Yuanshan, and Qi Xia were besieging the Lord of the Hidden Emperor Fortress together, but they could only hold on under his fierce and fierce iron-blue palms. If it weren't for Zhang Yuanshan's sword mastering Tai Chi and defending as steady as a rock, Qi Xia, who was already seriously injured in his left shoulder, might have been knocked down.

Ge Chongshan's martial arts were similar to Zhang Yuanshan's, but not as good as the Lord of the Fortress. Moreover, as soon as he came up, he was frightened by the Lord of the Fortress's series of attacks and broke out in a cold sweat. His courage was taken away and he was unable to fight back for a while.

Although Zhang Yuanshan was an expert swordsman with various magical moves, the Lord of the Hidden Emperor Fortress relied on his fierce iron palms and was more than one level stronger than Zhang Yuanshan. He always confronted Zhang Yuanshan's various unique skills, breaking the trick with force and firmly gaining the upper hand.

"Senior Brother Zhang is good at Tai Chi defense, but he is not proficient in Zhenwu swordsmanship, otherwise how dare the fortress master attack like this." As Meng Qi approached, Jiang Zhiwei commented in a low voice, and then pointed his long sword, just in time to catch the fortress master's left palm.

Taking this opportunity, Zhang Yuanshan's sword was like a long snake coming out of a cave, pointing directly at the chest of the fortress master of Yinhuang Fort, forcing him to return his palm to defend himself.

Since the fight, the fortress master was forced into such a passive position for the first time, and Jiang Zhiwei's sword was as fast as a sword, like a stormy wave. With the cooperation of Zhang Yuanshan, Ge Chongshan, Qi Xia and others, the fortress master was gradually suppressed.

The fortress master of Yinhuang Fort suddenly snorted coldly, moved, and kept moving and attacking.

In the short battle just now, he had already seen Jiang Zhiwei's weakness, that is, Meng Qi's slow pace.

As expected, Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei were in danger. Although Jiang Zhiwei knew how to go and Meng Qi followed her without hesitation, it took time to talk, and he could not perform a slightly complicated routine.

Jiang Zhiwei had no choice but to switch from offense to defense, and together with Zhang Yuanshan, she blocked most of the attacks from the Lord of Hidden Emperor Fort. Then Ge Chongshan and Qi Xia counterattacked, and they fought back and forth, and the situation was stalemate.

Dangdangdang, the long sword hit the Lord's iron-blue palm like hitting an iron block, making a crisp sound. Meng Qi listened and suddenly felt irritated, and his legs felt sore.

"Poisonous!" Zhang Yuanshan, who was the first to fight with the Lord of Hidden Emperor Fort, had turned pale, and Ge Chongshan and Qi Xia's moves were also a little slow.

The Lord of Hidden Emperor Fortress immediately gained the upper hand and laughed loudly, saying, "They are transformed into poisonous beasts! There are also strange flowers in front of the palace. The two meet, it's a match made in heaven!"

"Kill you, and there will be no one to resist in the martial arts world!"

The masters in the distance who were also a little weak and powerless looked at the black-robed men whose skin began to fester and steamed but became more and more ferocious. Despair arose spontaneously. There was such a way of poisoning that was not noticed by the gods!

"Beast! I will fight you!" Ge Chongshan roared in grief and anger.

At this moment, Meng Qi, who was full of anger and fear, heard Jiang Zhiwei whisper calmly:

"Pounce forward."

Pounce forward? In front of him was the pair of iron-blue flesh palms. If they were pressed on him, he would die!

However, Meng Qi still remembered the conversation with Jiang Zhiwei before, and countless thoughts were rolling in his mind. In a flash, he thought of the dead Yan Wujiang and Qingjing, thought of himself being slaughtered after being attacked by the poisonous fog, thought of the stable life in the past, thought of these inexplicable encounters...

So, all his thoughts quickly merged into a fierce spirit of fighting for his life.

"Damn it, if a person dies, his eggs will fall to the sky, and he will live for thousands of years! Fight!"

Meng Qi's facial muscles twisted, and he used all his strength to pounce on the Lord of Yinhuang Fort.

During this process, his eyes widened, staring at the iron-blue flesh palms, and he wanted to see how he died even if he died!

Suddenly, a bright sword light lit up, quickly occupying Meng Qi's field of vision, so that he could no longer see anything else.

What a beautiful sword light... Meng Qi subconsciously had this thought.

The masters who were fighting with the black-robed man suddenly felt something in their hearts, as if there were subtle changes between heaven and earth. They looked up and saw a sword light that was as stunning as a flash from the sky, which made them ignore the sword light of all other things!

The sword light disappeared, and Meng Qi saw that the long sword was nailed to the brow of the Lord of Hidden Emperor Fort. The tip of the sword was deeply sunken, and the wound was slightly red. Although the pair of iron-blue flesh palms pressed on his chest, they had no power at all.

With a plop, Meng Qi, who couldn't stop his momentum, knocked the Lord of Hidden Emperor Fort to the ground, and rolled several times with Jiang Zhiwei on his back before he stabilized.

It was not until this time that Meng Qi saw that the Lord of Hidden Emperor Fort still had a smile on his face, but his pupils contracted, as if he was filled with deep fear and disbelief.

When he lowered his head, Meng Qi saw that the five slender fingers on Jiang Zhiwei's right hand were trembling violently, which did not look like a hand holding a sword at all. Then, he heard Jiang Zhiwei's heavy breathing.

"One of the nine killer moves in the Supreme Sword Scripture?"

"'Sword comes out without self', 'Sword comes out without self', she actually learned 'Sword comes out without self'!"

Qi Xia and Zhang Yuanshan muttered to themselves in shock.
