Chapter 814 Confusion
Gu Jiuchen was entangled by the black-robed man and couldn't get away to save Qi Rong.
At this moment, Liu Yaonian and Lin Wanqing also arrived.
"Big Brother!"
"Qi Rong!"
The two saw the scene in front of them, and their faces changed drastically.
"Don't come over!" Gu Jiuchen hurriedly stopped him, "This is a trap!"
However, it was too late.
As soon as Liu Yaonian and Lin Wanqing approached, they were surrounded by a group of black-clothed men.
"Hahaha! None of you can leave here alive today!" The black-robed man laughed triumphantly. Li Yifeng observed the surroundings and suddenly found that although the villagers attacked fiercely, their eyes were dull and their actions seemed to lack some rules. A thought flashed through his mind, and he shouted: "Everyone be careful, these villagers are controlled by their minds!"
He jumped up, the sword in his hand flashed, and he repelled a villager, and then quickly pressed several of his acupuncture points. The villager's body trembled, the confused look in his eyes gradually faded, and then he showed an expression of pain and struggle.
"As expected!" Li Yifeng was delighted. It seemed that the people who controlled these villagers were not invincible. He told others about his discovery and instructed them to avoid the villagers' vital points and focus on their acupuncture points.
Gu Jiuchen and others changed their strategies after hearing this, and it worked. However, just when they thought they saw hope, a strong pressure suddenly descended, and a figure in a black robe slowly descended from the sky.
"Who dares to ruin my good deeds!" The black-robed man's voice was cold, as if from the Nine Nether Hell.
"Who are you and why do you want to control these innocent villagers?" Gu Jiuchen stepped forward, blocked in front of everyone, and shouted.
The black-robed man sneered and did not answer. He just waved his hand lightly, and the villagers who were acupunctured fell to the ground in pain, bleeding from all seven orifices and died.
"You!" Gu Jiuchen's eyes were bloodshot, and a burst of anger rushed to his forehead.
The black-robed man ignored him, but just glanced at everyone coldly, with a cruel smile on his lips, and slowly said: "Today, none of you can leave here alive!" As soon as the voice fell, he flashed and turned into a black shadow, rushing towards Gu Jiuchen and others.
The speed was so fast that it was astonishing!
The speed of the black shadow was so fast that Gu Jiuchen only had time to cross the long sword in his hand before he was pushed back several steps by a huge force.
"Master!" Seeing this, the disciples hurried forward to protect Gu Jiuchen, but they were also shocked by the palm wind of the black shadow and vomited blood.
"Let's go!" Gu Jiuchen made a quick decision. He knew that he and others were no match for the black shadow, so he could only flee from here first and make plans.
The crowd fought and retreated, and finally fled into a remote cave under the cover of night.
In the cave, the fire flickered, reflecting the pale faces of the disciples, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
"Master, what should we do now?" Li Yifeng asked anxiously, holding his chest.
Gu Jiuchen remained silent, frowning, and was obviously thinking hard about countermeasures.
"Master," Li Yifeng suddenly lowered his voice, with a gleam in his eyes, "I noticed that although the black shadow is powerful, it seems to be afraid of sunlight, and..."
He paused and continued, "I also found that although his attack is fierce, it seems to only target living things, and has no reaction to dead things."
"You mean..." Gu Jiuchen's eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope.
"Yes, we can use this!" Li Yifeng said firmly, "We can..."
Li Yifeng approached Gu Jiuchen and told him his plan, his tone full of confidence. However, after listening to it, Gu Jiuchen just shook his head slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"Yifeng, your idea is good, but it's too risky. The black shadow's strength is unfathomable. We know nothing about his details. If we act rashly, we will only die in vain."
"But Master..." Li Yifeng wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Liu Yaonian on the side.
"Master, I believe in my brother's judgment. He must have his own difficulties." Liu Yaonian walked to Gu Jiuchen, gently held his hand, and said softly, "You have tried your best. We will not blame you."
Lin Luan also stepped forward, patted Gu Jiuchen on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Master, don't worry, we will definitely find a way to defeat the black shadow and will not let you down."
Feeling the trust and support of his disciples, Gu Jiuchen felt a warm current in his heart, but the worry on his face did not diminish at all. He knew that the enemy this time was too powerful, and even if they tried their best, they might not be able to win.
Lin Wanqing had been standing in the corner, watching all this silently, her eyes full of confusion and confusion. She didn't understand why they were so persistent in fighting the black shadow. Didn't they know that doing so would only result in sacrifice?
"Do we really have to sacrifice so much for an illusory goal?" Lin Wanqing asked silently in her heart, but she didn't have the courage to ask this question out loud.
Gu Jiuchen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes were firm. "Yifeng, tell me, what is your plan?"
Li Yifeng was delighted to see that Gu Jiuchen finally agreed, and he quickly told his plan in detail. Although the plan was bold, it was not without a chance of success. After everyone heard it, a glimmer of hope ignited in their eyes.
"Master, I believe in my brother, we will definitely succeed!" Liu Yaonian clenched his fists, with a firm light in his eyes.
Although Lin Luan did not speak, his resolute eyes showed his support for Li Yifeng's plan.
Only Lin Wanqing remained silent, just looking at everyone quietly, as if thinking about something.
Gu Jiuchen took in everyone's expressions, and he knew that he had no way out. He must lead his disciples and continue to move forward, even if there is a deep abyss ahead, he will not look back.
"Okay, let's do as you say!" Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "But we must be careful and not underestimate the enemy."
Everyone was refreshed when they heard this, and began to prepare for the upcoming action. The cave was suddenly filled with a tense and busy atmosphere.
In the dead of night, Gu Jiuchen walked out of the cave alone and came to the top of the mountain. He looked at the starry sky, but his heart was full of confusion and helplessness.
"Linglong, where are you? Are you also looking at this starry sky?" Gu Jiuchen murmured to himself, his tone full of longing and sadness.
Suddenly, as if he sensed something, he raised his head and looked into the distance. In the night sky, a black shadow was flying towards this side at a speed so fast that it was shocking.
"Not good!" Gu Jiuchen was shocked and thought to himself that it was not good. He was very familiar with the breath of the black shadow. It was the mysterious figure they had been trying to avoid!
