Chapter 835 Strength Revealed (Part 1)

Mingyue held Ye Linglong's hand tightly, her eyes full of reluctance and worry. Ye Linglong patted her hand gently, gave her a firm look, then turned to face the crowd, and her crisp voice revealed an unquestionable determination: "For the sake of the people of the world, we must win!"

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong led a carefully selected elite team, and under the cover of night, they quietly sneaked into the sphere of influence of the Demon Cult. They were very good at light work, and they shuttled through the mountains and forests like ghosts without alarming any guards.

"The Black Wind Ridge is ahead. The Demon Cult has set up many checkpoints here. We need to be extra careful." Li Yifeng lowered his voice and pointed to the dark mountains ahead.

The Black Wind Ridge has a steep terrain, rugged rocks, and is shrouded in a strange black fog all year round. It is a natural barrier for the Demon Cult. Gu Jiuchen and others slowed down their pace and walked carefully into the depths of the mountain.

"Be careful!" Xuan Yu, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly shouted in a low voice, and at the same time, his figure flashed, and the long sword in his hand stabbed out like lightning.

"Ding!" With a crisp sound, Xuan Yu's sword was blocked by a black shadow, and sparks flew. The black shadow was extremely fast, and it immediately disappeared into the darkness after missing the attack.

"It's the secret sentry of the Demon Cult!" Li Yifeng said in a deep voice, "Everyone be alert!"

The next journey was even more dangerous. The secret sentries and patrols of the Demon Cult emerged in an endless stream, but they were all resolved one by one by Gu Jiuchen and others. With their superb martial arts and tacit cooperation, they quietly tore through the lines of defense like a sharp knife.

In front of a cliff, they encountered the biggest challenge. Opposite the cliff is an important stronghold of the Demon Cult, and the only passage connecting the two sides is a shaky iron chain bridge. Under the bridge is a deep abyss, and the gloomy wind is chilling.

"What should we do? How should we get through?" A disciple looked at the iron chain bridge in front of him, his face a little pale.

"What are you afraid of? It's just a broken bridge. Let's just rush over!" Another disciple was impulsive and was about to step onto the iron chain bridge.

"Wait!" Gu Jiuchen stopped him, "This bridge has been tampered with. If you rush over, you will only alert the enemy."

"Then what should we do?"

Gu Jiuchen didn't say anything, but walked to the edge of the cliff and carefully observed the situation on the opposite side. Ye Linglong also came over and asked softly, "Did you find anything?"

"Look," Gu Jiuchen pointed to a huge rock on the opposite cliff and said, "There seems to be something hidden behind that huge rock."

Ye Linglong looked in the direction Gu Jiuchen pointed, and sure enough, she saw some dark shadows behind the huge rock.

"You mean, there is an ambush of the Demon Cult there?"

"It's very likely," Gu Jiuchen nodded, "They deliberately set up this iron chain bridge to lure us into a trap."

Gu Jiuchen pondered for a moment, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Since they want to play, then we will play with them."

"Linglong, you lead a small team of people to go around the left side behind the boulder and cut off their retreat. The others will follow me to attack head-on. Remember, you must fight quickly and decisively!" Gu Jiuchen's voice was low and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty. Ye Linglong nodded in agreement, with a firm look in her eyes, without any hesitation.

Ye Linglong led ten agile disciples, and under the cover of night, they quietly moved towards the boulder. They moved quickly and lightly, like ghosts in the mountains and forests, without alarming any guards.

At the same time, Gu Jiuchen led the rest of the people and launched a fierce attack on the iron chain bridge. He led the way, his figure was as fast as lightning, and the long sword in his hand turned into cold light, and he went straight to the guards at the bridgehead.

"Enemy attack!"

The guards' shouts cut through the night sky, alarming the demon sect disciples who were ambushed behind the boulder. Dozens of black shadows emerged from behind the boulder and rushed towards Gu Jiuchen and others like a tide.

"Kill!"

The two sides fought hand-to-hand, and the shouts of killing shook the earth. Gu Jiuchen was like a tiger descending from the mountain, invincible, and the long sword in his hand was wielded freely, and every move was extremely sharp. In a blink of an eye, several demon sect disciples fell under his sword.

However, there were many demon sect disciples, and they continued to fight, and Gu Jiuchen and others gradually felt a little tired.

"Haha, Gu Jiuchen, today is your death!"

With a wild laugh, a middle-aged man in black clothes and a sinister face walked out of the crowd. He held a black long sword, and the blade exuded a cold light, which was obviously a rare magic weapon.

"Who are you?" Gu Jiuchen asked in a deep voice with his eyes fixed.

"The right guardian of the Demon Cult, Blood Evil!" The man in black sneered, "Today, I will let you see the power of my Blood Evil Knife!"

After that, Blood Evil flashed and turned into a black shadow, rushing towards Gu Jiuchen. Gu Jiuchen did not dare to neglect and swung his sword to meet the attack.

"Dang!"

With a loud bang, the Blood Evil Knife collided with Gu Jiuchen's long sword, and sparks flew. Gu Jiuchen only felt a surge of overwhelming power coming, which made his arm numb and his tiger's mouth crack.

"What a strong power!" Gu Jiuchen was secretly shocked and did not dare to fight hard. He shook his body and dodged the attack of Blood Evil.

Blood Evil did not hit the target, but he was not discouraged. The long sword in his hand turned into black lightning and attacked Gu Jiuchen like a storm. Gu Jiuchen blocked left and right, and was in danger.

At this moment, a delicate shout came from behind Xue Sha:

"Xue Sha, your opponent is me!"

Ye Linglong held a long sword and descended from the sky like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, stabbing at Xue Sha's back. Xue Sha was startled and turned around to resist, but was forced back by Ye Linglong's sword.

"Linglong, you are finally here!"

Seeing Ye Linglong appear, Gu Jiuchen felt happy. With the addition of Ye Linglong, the situation of the battle suddenly reversed. The two of them joined forces and had a tacit understanding of their sword skills, forcing the blood evil to retreat continuously.

"Damn it!" Xue Fierce roared, suddenly took out a black ball from his arms and threw it into the air.

"No, get back!"

Gu Jiuchen's face changed drastically and he reminded loudly.

However, it was too late.

The black ball exploded in the air and turned into a thick black smoke, instantly covering the entire battlefield.

"Ahem"

"What is this"

In the black smoke, there were coughs and exclamations.

"Linglong, where are you?"

Gu Jiuchen was extremely anxious and shouted Ye Linglong's name loudly.

"I'm here"

Ye Linglong's voice came from not far away, with a hint of weakness in her voice.

Gu Jiuchen followed the sound and saw Ye Linglong's figure looming in the black smoke, seemingly injured.

"Linglong, how are you?" Gu Jiuchen's heart tightened and he quickly ran in the direction of Ye Linglong.

"careful"

Before Ye Linglong finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly shot out from behind Gu Jiuchen and struck at the back of his heart.

"Gu Jiuchen, suffer death!"

Gu Jiuchen had quick eyes and quick hands, and he used his backhand to knock back the black shadow behind him. The shadow groaned and staggered a few steps in the black smoke, but did not fall down.

"Linglong, are you okay?" Gu Jiuchen supported Ye Linglong and asked with concern. Ye Linglong's face was a little pale, and there was still a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. She had obviously suffered internal injuries in the explosion just now.

"I'm fine, just slightly injured." Ye Linglong shook her head and looked ahead firmly, "We can't stay here for too long, we must find the core area of ​​​​the black shadow as soon as possible."

Gu Jiuchen nodded, knowing that Ye Linglong was right. Although the black smoke temporarily blocked their view, it also gave them cover. They must hurry up and find the hiding place of the black shadow before the reinforcements of the Demon Cult arrive.

The two supported each other and carefully groped their way through the black smoke. The sounds of weapons clashing and shouts of killing could be heard from time to time. It was obvious that other righteous disciples were also fighting against the demon sect.

"Be careful!" Ye Linglong suddenly pulled Gu Jiuchen and whispered.

Gu Jiuchen followed her gaze and saw not far ahead, a group of demon sect disciples in black costumes walking towards them. These demon sect disciples have calm auras and are obviously masters.

"kill!"

When one of the leading disciples of the Demon Cult saw Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he rushed towards them waving the long knife in his hand.

Gu Jiuchen snorted coldly, protected Ye Linglong behind him with one palm, and at the same time waved the long sword in his hand to meet the demon sect disciple.

"clang!"

There was a clear sound of metal collision, and the long sword in Gu Jiuchen's hand collided hard with the long sword of the demon sect disciple, causing sparks to fly.

Gu Jiuchen's cultivation has reached the Mahayana realm, and his strength is unfathomable. He just waved his sword lightly and knocked the Demon Cult disciple back a few steps.

"What a strong strength!"

The demon sect disciple was shocked. He knew that he had encountered a master and did not dare to underestimate the enemy. He quickly called on other demon sect disciples to besiege Gu Jiuchen.

Faced with the siege of several demon sect masters, Gu Jiuchen did not fall behind at all. He was as agile as a dragon, and the long sword in his hand turned into afterimages, blocking all attacks.

Ye Linglong was not idle either. Although she was injured, her strength should not be underestimated. She holds a long sword and shuttles between the disciples of the Demon Cult. Every time she takes a shot, she can take away a life.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the black smoke:

"Who dares to trespass on my territory?" The voice was low and hoarse, as if coming from the Nine Nether Hell, making people shudder. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were shocked, knowing that the owner of the black shadow had finally appeared.

"Hmph, even a rat who hides his head and shows his tail dares to speak arrogant words!" Ye Linglong snorted coldly, shook the sword in her hand, and thrust the sword in the direction of the sound.

The sword energy tore through the black smoke, but no trace was found. The cold voice sounded again, with a hint of mockery: "You don't overestimate your own capabilities!"
