Chapter 135
After Huangfu Xiu and Gongsun Jianye discussed it, they dared not hesitate and immediately focused all their attention on finding a breakthrough.
But at this time, they had already been surrounded by the two major natural disasters from Shushan and Xuehai, and there were natural disasters from the Huamu Zhidi hiding inside. If they wanted to escape, it was not an easy matter.
"We can't keep waiting like this. Brother Gongsun, I will cover your departure from this place. You go find Han Yu or that Senior Li Taibai, and then come back to save them!"
Huangfu Xiu spoke in a deep voice, his gaze cold and filled with heavy fighting spirit as he looked at those natural disasters.
Gongsun Jianye was stunned upon hearing this, a look of being moved appearing in his eyes. He knew that with Huangfu Xiu's ability, if he had his protection, he would definitely be able to break out of the encirclement, but the price would be that Huangfu Xiu might be completely swallowed by the natural disasters.
At that time, Huangfu Xiu would definitely have no chance of survival!
"No, Brother Huangfu, I cannot live by stepping on your bones. If that happens, I, Gongsun Jianye, will never find peace in my heart for all eternity!"
Gongsun Jianye's words were firm, but Huangfu Xiu smiled.
"Fine, then you cover me, and I will break out of the encirclement. If you die, I will burn an extra stick of incense for you during festivals. Don't worry, I definitely won't feel uneasy in my heart."
As soon as these words were spoken, Gongsun Jianye was torn between laughter and tears, wanting to curse.
"So you brat were waiting for me here!"
He first shook his head, paused for a moment, and then nodded.
"Fine, then I will send Brother Huangfu off. Anyway, if you and I stay here, the outcome is only death. If you survive and achieve success in your cultivation in the future, I want you to protect my clansmen for ten thousand years. I wonder if Brother Huangfu can agree?"
Huangfu Xiu was also stunned upon hearing this, then chuckled.
"Alright, Brother Gongsun, you are not good at fighting and killing; it is more likely that I will protect you and get you out. If you survive, then you will also agree to this condition you mentioned, how about that?"
Gongsun Jianye wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Huangfu Xiu.
"Alright, Brother Gongsun, if you refuse again, I won't care about those things. I don't want to die either, and I might really hesitate. When we fight later, the power of using killing poems and war words might be weakened by several points. Don't be long-winded, hurry up and agree!"
Since it had come to this, it would be unreasonable for Gongsun Jianye to be coy anymore.
"Fine!"
"If I survive, no matter what my cultivation achievements are, I will definitely do my best to protect the Huangfu clan until I die!"
Gongsun Jianye directly made a soul oath, which showed that he was not just saying it casually.
Huangfu Xiu nodded, his gaze looking at those eerie natural disasters, fighting spirit rising in his eyes.
"Brother Gongsun, get ready, break out!"
Although the two were talking, they didn't forget to write various poems and articles to resist the natural disasters and prepare for the breakout. Now that they had discussed it, there was no need to waste any time.
Swish swish swish—
The two immediately turned into streams of light, crossed the walled city built of poems and phrases, and rushed into the group of natural disasters.
Before leaving, they had already informed all the other Literary Dao cultivators via sound transmission. Those Literary Dao cultivators did not question that the two were afraid of death; they believed in their character.
And everyone knew that although there were natural disasters from the Huamu Zhidi in this poem-walled city, it was definitely safer compared to breaking out.
After all, this poem-walled city had the protection of the Great Dao poem taught by that mysterious senior. If there were no Great Dao poem, they would have probably been affected by the natural disasters and turned into idiots long ago.
The two rushed into the two major natural disaster groups, instantly like sheep entering a wolf pack.
The Shushan natural disaster was a series of book pages without text. The pages were not white paper, but black paper, as if they could swallow everything.
Just seeing that black paper for a moment, the textual knowledge in an ordinary cultivator's mind would probably be forgotten, turning them into illiterates.
This kind of ability had the greatest impact on Literary Dao cultivators. Their cultivation was all based on Literary Dao knowledge. If they forgot this knowledge, it was no different from being crippled.
The Xuehai natural disaster was like piranhas with ferocious faces, composed entirely of distorted spiritual power. If affected by it, one would lose their memory. At that time, it wouldn't be turning into an illiterate, but turning into an idiot.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!"
Huangfu Xiu constantly wielded his brush and ink, writing various killing poems and war words. Countless soldiers and generals evolved from the brush and ink, rushing toward those natural disasters.
These soldiers and generals only blocked the natural disasters for a moment before being swallowed by them bit by bit.
The bodies composed of characters collapsed rapidly, turning into fragmented radicals, like dismembered bodies.
"Want to break my poems? It's not that easy. So what if it's a natural disaster? I, Huangfu Xiu, can still kill!"
Huangfu Xiu's eyes were blood-red. Those collapsed poem characters instantly came to life, turning into thick blood mist and killing intent!
This was the second stage after Huangfu Xiu had studied killing poems and war words. Every character soldier had integrated his insights into the Killing Dao. Even if the characters collapsed, the killing intent within them would not be extinguished, but rather became even thicker.
Like soldiers fighting bravely on the battlefield, the more severe their injuries, the more intense the resentment and killing intent in their hearts.
Huangfu Xiu was not an ordinary Literary Dao cultivator. He entered the Killing Dao through killing poems and war words, just like those special cultivators who entered the Sword Dao through characters.
The essence of his combat method was not characters; characters were just the carrier of the Great Dao they practiced. Just like military cultivators use weapons to kill people, Huangfu Xiu just used characters to kill people.
That was why he believed that Gongsun Jianye could not take him out of the encirclement. After the two truly faced the natural disasters, Gongsun Jianye also understood that Huangfu Xiu was right.
He had also just used various Literary Dao means to block the natural disasters, but the outcome was very clear: all his means were restrained by the two major natural disasters and were completely useless.
And at this moment, under the rolling killing intent of Huangfu Xiu's characters, those sheets of black paper and ferocious soul-eating fish let out miserable shrieks and were blocked for a short time.
And during this time, Huangfu Xiu had already lifted Gongsun Jianye with all his might, sending him out of the encirclement of the natural disasters.
And he himself was completely submerged by the natural disasters that had reacted. Gongsun Jianye's divine sense "saw" this scene. He felt incomparably sorrowful in his heart, but he did not look back. He could not look back!
"Brother Huangfu, I, Gongsun Jianye, will definitely fulfill my promise and not fail the task!"
Gongsun Jianye thought in his heart, while feeling incomparably dejected.
If he had strength like Han Yu's, he probably wouldn't have to be so passive, right?
Although he had never seen Han Yu fight the natural disasters, just based on the other's daring to provoke the rules of the Wangjing Zhanchang, taking one Literary Dao treasure land after another into his pocket, and that indifferent attitude toward natural disasters, he knew that this was definitely not an ordinary prodigy.
Just as Gongsun Jianye was thinking, a voice floated into his mind.
"Where are you going?"
This voice was very familiar; it was undoubtedly Han Yu!
"Brother Han!"
Gongsun Jianye was pleasantly surprised in his heart and immediately did not dare to hesitate, immediately communicating via sound transmission.
"Please, Brother Han, take action to save Huangfu Xiu. Afterward, we will definitely reward you heavily!"
As soon as Gongsun Jianye's words were transmitted, Han Yu replied.
"I'm afraid that won't work. It's a pity, I can't get your reward."
As soon as these words were spoken, Gongsun Jianye's heart trembled, and he let out a long sigh.
"I didn't expect it to be too late. Those natural disasters are truly too terrifying. Can even Brother Huangfu only hold on for this long?"
"Brother Han, can you deal with those natural disasters?"
"A bit troublesome."
Hearing Han Yu's answer, Gongsun Jianye remembered the other's attitude before the natural disasters descended. Clearly, there was a big gap.
It seems that Brother Han's confidence before was because he didn't know the power of the natural disasters in the Literary Dao realm. Now that he knew, he wasn't so confident anymore.
Thinking of this, he no longer held any expectations that Han Yu could kill those natural disasters and save the Literary Dao cultivators inside.
In fact, for him, the only candidate in his heart who could solve the natural disasters was that mysterious Senior Li Taibai!
Although those cultivators from Xuehai had not revealed Li Taibai's appearance and other information, they said that the other could let them chant these Great Dao poems at will without any reward.
And they also said that the reason Senior Li Taibai wrote this Great Dao poem was just to turn it into a boat to cross the Xuehai.
Just to cross the Xuehai, he wrote such a Great Dao poem. For most Literary Dao cultivators, this was obviously a bit of a waste.
But the other was so understated. It is conceivable that this is definitely an expert who travels through ten thousand worlds!
Even the Wangjing Zhanchang was a place with great restrictions for divine messengers, but he could enter it easily. His strength was at least the Saint Realm!
The only thing Gongsun Jianye was worried about now was that this Senior Li Taibai was no longer in the Wangjing Zhanchang.
So he thought about it and immediately said to Han Yu: "Brother Han, please do me a favor and find that senior named Li Taibai. If he takes action, these natural disasters will definitely be destroyed with a flick of a finger!"
Gongsun Jianye roughly told Han Yu via sound transmission about the general information of Senior Li Taibai.
Han Yu was slightly stunned upon hearing this and was suddenly a bit torn between laughter and tears.
Gongsun Jianye did not see Han Yu's reaction. His divine sense range was not at the same level as Han Yu's, so Han Yu was still outside his perception, just communicating with him across the air.
The current situation was that Gongsun Jianye could not see Han Yu, while his every move was within Han Yu's perception range.
Seeing that Han Yu did not answer, Gongsun Jianye was a bit anxious. With his strength, the difficulty of finding Senior Li Taibai in the vast Literary Dao realm was very high. Now the situation was urgent, and those people couldn't wait.
If Han Yu didn't help, he would have no other way.
He hurriedly sent a sound transmission.
"Brother Han, I don't know if it's possible. Please give me a definite answer, Brother Han."
"No."
Han Yu was concise and to the point. Gongsun Jianye's heart instantly turned to ash, and his emotions fell to the bottom.
But just as his mood fell to the bottom, Han Yu sent another sound transmission.
"There's no need to be so troublesome, I can solve it."
Gongsun Jianye was a bit skeptical in his heart, but those Literary Dao cultivators who were being besieged by the two major natural disasters discovered something wrong.
The natural disasters that had been incredibly crazy just a moment ago suddenly became still. This scene was very strange.
And what shocked them even more was that the figures of those natural disasters were actually trembling continuously. Looking at it, it seemed they were afraid!
