Chapter 37

Under the thick night, the lanterns in Shengjing City were continuous.

And at this time, above Nishan, a huge flying sword broke through the clouds under the night, roaring toward Wanzhuo Mountain.

The three Hall Masters used magic power to control the sword, maintaining its high-speed flight.

Listening to the huge wind roaring toward their faces, all the disciples couldn't help but hold their breath, harboring intense anxiety about the upcoming event.

"Who attacked the Pill Sect?"

"We only received the distress signal; who it is is not yet clear."

Ji You looked at Wang Xin'an and shook his head, frowning slightly, his hand brushing over the three long swords at his waist.

He now has seven swords, but he still only brought three.

Because for every extra sword, the consumption of spiritual sense increases by one point; some battles need to be swift, but some battles need to be persistent.

Ji You is now exercising his spiritual sense every day, actually wanting to make himself both swift and persistent.

After a long time, the night around them began to grow thicker, a chill hit their faces, and it was mixed with an indescribable smell.

Some disciples looked from the distant sky and found that they were already far away from Shengjing, and under their feet was an endless wilderness.

"About to land, stabilize your posture!"

"Remember to float in the air with spiritual energy when three feet from the ground!"

As the steady voice of Hall Master Qin sounded, the flying sword driven by spiritual energy suddenly tilted and fell, breaking into a mysterious mountain forest filled with water vapor.

The disciples immediately flew to the ground, and the flying sword smashed a deep pit into the ground with a heavy thud, sand and soil flying.

However, everyone had no time to look at the flying sword, because looking around, more than a dozen carriages on the mountain road were all overturned, elixirs scattered all over the ground, but no Pill Sect disciples were seen.

And in the distance, mountain fog kept spreading, and figures were moving in it, looking dense.

"Remember, your mission is to rescue the Pill Sect disciples, don't get entangled in battle!"

"The identity of the other party is unclear, don't be careless and lose your life!"

The three Hall Masters of the Administration Office drank deeply and soared into the air, and the disciples behind them also moved upon hearing the news, rushing into the battlefield amidst the wind and waves.

Seeing this, Ji You waved his hand, controlled the three swords at his waist, and also fell into the mountain forest.

Strangely, although this mysterious mountain forest was heavy with killing intent, there was no sound of fighting, but it was quiet enough to make people panic.

Just at this moment, a figure appeared swaying, instantly making the crowd who followed hold their breath.

It was a hideous face shrouded in evil spirit, withered like rotten wood, without eyes, only two pitch-black hollows.

And with its appearance, more and more shadows scurried out densely.

Evil spawn, evil spawn all over the mountains and plains.

The disciples of the Administration Office were much more experienced than the Outer Court disciples; seeing this scene, their faces only changed slightly, but they still drew their swords decisively.

But the evil spawn's physical body was extremely tough, easily flying toward them, actually wanting to knock them over directly.

Just at this moment, a loud sword hum sounded, and the Administration Office disciples who entered the battlefield first caught a glimpse of someone floating in, followed by a wave of swords pressing forward, instantly tearing open a long and narrow gap.

Spiritual energy is too dull, and it cannot be wrapped around the sword blade when breaking the enemy, but if it is all condensed on the sword hilt, it can open the way with the sword blade.

Of course, this requires the quality of the sword to be better, otherwise, if ironware chops hard, it will soon break.

Fortunately, none of the swords given by the young ladies were bad.

"Who?!"

"Ji You..."

The three floating Hall Masters saw this scene, their faces showing astonishment.

Although they knew Ji You was a sword cultivator and his sword technique was unique, they still felt it was miraculous to see it with their own eyes at this moment.

However, this was not the time to sigh; Hall Master Qin waved his hand and immediately ordered the Administration Office disciples to attack through the gap.

And Lu Qingqiu, Bai Rulong, Qian Jun, and others had already chased after them; seeing this scene, they quickly made a decision.

I must protect Ji You in front!

And others who had the same purpose also couldn't help but gather around.

In fact, many students in the Outer Court had only heard of Ji You's legend of one man and three swords, but they couldn't imagine that his use of swords was so fierce, actually not giving the other party any chance to breathe.

Just at this moment, a sound of metal colliding came out, and Ji You's sword wave finally met an opponent that couldn't be cut.

It was an evil spawn with scarlet eyes, its physical body even tougher than other evil spawns.

This ghost thing directly blocked Ji You's forward sword edge, and a pair of claws roaring with evil spirit went straight to his chest in an instant.

So, everyone saw Ji You's legendary second sword.

That sword was given by Lou Siyi and had been suspended in the air; at this moment, the sword moved with the heart, and with a "hum," it pierced through the other party's heart.

Ji You didn't change his expression as he recalled the sword, panting and looking at the corpse on the ground that was black as charcoal and hideous.

A pity, it wasn't the one that attacked them that night, because it wouldn't dodge.

Although the evil spawn's body is tough, it doesn't need to be guarded against in the eyes of the Xian Sect, because in the final analysis, they don't know how to think.

These ghost things are killing based on bloodthirstiness, and even if they have been stabbed, they still won't dodge, not even as good as the simple-minded barbarians outside the Northern Plains.

Even those with tough physical bodies are like this.

If this one was like the one Ji You encountered on the street that night, not only dodging but also having a method in its moves, it would really give him a headache.

"Bai Rulong, watch out behind!"

Just at this moment, Qian Jun's terrified voice sounded.

They protected Ji You in front, clearing up the small fry, but didn't expect another batch to surge from behind.

Ji You glanced sideways, and with a wave of his sleeve, the third sword flew out, like breaking through the wind and clouds, fiercely cutting off a pair of arms full of evil spirit in the night.

The evil spawn suddenly lost its arms, and with its chest out, it bumped into Bai Rulong, constantly wriggling, in an ambiguous posture.

Wang Jiaoxi arrived and cut off its head with a sword, and roared angrily: "If you can't kill it, retreat, don't leave your back to them!"

Bai Rulong was full of panic: "K... know..."

Wang Jiaoxi took a deep breath, and when he turned around, he found that Ji You had already started to go around the back and kill toward the deeper part: "Ji You, don't go too deep, find the Pill Sect disciples and come back!"

"There are flower lanterns on the north side of the mountain!"

"What?"

Wang Xin'an looked puzzled, thinking to himself, what are you looking at flower lanterns for at this time.

Ji You pierced through with a sword, the second and third swords were recalled instantly, and he continued to move forward: "Where the flower lanterns are hung, there are a few farmhouses there!"

Wang Jiaoxi was stunned: "Your mission is to find the surviving Pill Sect disciples!"

"With so many evil spawns, they are already dead; if you don't call someone to help me, I'm dead too!"

"?"

Ji You roared, shook his sword and killed an evil spawn, then waved his sleeve to control the qi, the second and third swords rushed together, wading out a bloody path.

Because it was New Year's Day, there was indeed a small village with paper-pasted flower lanterns on the north side of the mountain; the closest one, the flower lantern on the door looked crooked and had no color, but it was extremely cute.

With his eyesight about to reach the Realm of Profound Understanding, he could still see the silhouettes of children reflected on the window paper from afar.

Living is hard, but there are still people living hard.

Ji You gritted his teeth and sacrificed a sword, instantly cutting off half a head, but his heart trembled violently.

Although he knew they were not of the same race, they were after all human-shaped; he didn't feel it when piercing through the heart, but truly causing the incompleteness of the flesh, for him, there would still be psychological pressure.

And it was in this trance that his left shoulder was accidentally grabbed, and blood flowed instantly.

Because he had to hold the sword and control the sword, his spiritual energy was all concentrated on the three sword hilts, and there was no remaining spiritual energy to protect his body, so suffering this blow was a matter of time.

The most fatal thing is that the few farmhouses at the foot of the mountain clearly heard the movement and actually opened the door to come out to eat melons.

There was also a small child from his family, who squeezed out from between the adult's legs, looking up ignorantly.

"Close the door, take the child in!"

"?"

The farmer was stunned when he heard the sound, because from his angle looking up the slope, he could only see people waving swords, but he didn't know what they were doing.

Ji You took a deep breath and shouted angrily, "Murder!" The farmer then panicked, immediately took the child back into the house, and closed the door tightly.

And as his movements intensified, blood was constantly seeping out, dyeing his white robe into tie-dye.

What's more fatal is that for some reason, some evil spawns began to constantly gather toward him.

Seeing more and more killing, Ji You's scalp was numb.

Could it be that evil spawns are all female?

Ji You panted, immediately threw the sword out, cut a semicircle, and by the way, led the evil spawn toward Wang Jiaoxi.

Wang Jiaoxi was also bringing other Administration Office disciples to help him, so he took the opportunity to slash up.

Also following were Lu Qingqiu and his party, who came waving swords, protecting Ji You, who was protecting Wang Jiaoxi in front, in front.

"Where are the three Hall Masters of the Administration Office? And the Inner Court disciples who followed? Cast fire magic!"

"They are searching for Pill Sect disciples along the mountain."

"Found them?"

"No, not even the corpses were seen; they should have been kidnapped, but it definitely wasn't done by evil spawns."

Wang Jiaoxi held his sword and killed an evil spawn: "This attack is being manipulated by someone, eh, why did you sit down."

Ji You leaned against the tree and squatted down: "You guys hold on first, I'll rest for a while..."

"?"
