The two of them ran to the gate of Fu Yu Island, but they saw two or three rows of disciples standing in front of the gate, each with a sword at their waist, vigilantly looking at the situation around them, completely different from the relaxed attitude they had when they arrived earlier.
Yu Sifeng and Xuanji looked at each other, suspiciously walked over and said, “Brother, may I ask what is going on?”
The men returned the greeting and said, “Nothing much happened, but the Sect Master ordered that more people be sent to guard the gate in the next few days, and not to let people in without permission.”
It is true that there is something hidden from them, could it be related to the iron chain?
Yu Sifeng thought about it and said, “We have to leave for a while, please let us go.”
Those people shook their heads and said: “No, the master has given instructions that anyone who wants to enter or leave Fu Yu Island must carry a token. We can’t let anyone go without a token.”
Xuanji wondered, “But we are not from the Fu Yu Island, do we need a token to get out?”
Those people are a bit embarrassed, it is true that the master’s explanation must not be ignored, but these two are not the disciples of Fu Yu Island, but only guests, there has never been a reason not to let guests leave.
The head gatekeeper pondered for a long time before saying: “Well, I’ll go ask the master. You guys wait here for a while.”
“Wait ……” Yu Sifeng called him, “The island master is so alert, is there an enemy coming?”
The man said with difficulty: “This young hero, do not make things difficult for us, this is the matter of the Fu Yu Island, it has nothing to do with you two …….”
What do you mean it’s not related? It’s not related and still won’t let people leave, how is that not strange.
“We just want to help, the five sects are united, if the Fu Yu Island is in distress, we cannot say it has nothing to do with us. Please tell us the details.”
Yu Sifeng said in an unassuming manner but the man shook his head, “No, I can’t. I don’t want to make things difficult for you. Since you’re going out, you must wait until I’ve asked the master to tell us, so please don’t ……”
Xuanji stepped forward, but when she was about to ask the others for more details, they suddenly felt something falling rapidly over their heads, and the surrounding suddenly went dark.
The crowd hurriedly looked up, only to feel a jolt, almost fell, followed by the dust flying around, as if there are countless explosives exploded in unison around them, an incessant sound of explosions. The people were stunned by this shock, standing in a daze and did not move, Xuanji saw a dozen black fist-sized explosives falling towards the doorway here, immediately drew out the collapsing jade, forcefully swung into the air, a silver light like a phoenix wings flying up spread, with a cold wind sound, and in an instant swallowed those explosives from nowhere.
The sound of a violent explosion rung out in mid-air, the wave of air and the loud sound of the noise, made the people on the ground unable to keep standing, Xuanji staggered, looking like she was about to fall, Yu Sifeng anxiously grabbed her arm and said sternly: “Let’s go up and see who is causing trouble!”
Finally, some of the disciples next to her reacted and pulled them back, saying urgently, “No! Fu Yu Island is covered with sword nets, no one can pass through!”
They then remembered that at that time, Lu Yanran laid a sword net in the Haiwan Mountain, and neither humans nor demons could pass through, but dead inanimate objects would have no problem.[1] It seems there is someone up there who has figured out the weakness of the sword net, and actually threw countless explosives down to mess up their formation first.
The first batch of explosives will blow up the place with many holes, the air is dark again, the second batch of explosives will come one after another, if this continues, the pristine Fu Yu Island will become the destroyed island.
The two of them hurriedly went to help.
Yu Sifeng dragged Xuanji with her, the two of them rushed out of the blockade line of disciples in front of them and rose up to the white jade platform with their swords, flying high into the sky in an instant, only to see many people fighting in the distance. It must be a fight between the people who came to cause trouble, and the disciples of the Fu Yu Island.
The two of them rushed to help, only to see a dense circle of masked men wearing black clothes and hanging white iron rings on their waists. The costumes of these men were the same as the demons who had destroyed the Dinghǎi Iron Chain at Gao’s mountain and injured them! They also have no swords under their feet, but actually floating in the air, and yet did not fall. Each of them was carrying two large boxes in their hands and were throwing explosives downwards. There are several people in the circle wielding swords and fighting, however, they are surrounded by enemies, no matter how powerful the moves, it was useless.
Seeing that the circle was getting smaller and smaller, and the people struggling to cope with the situation, Xuanji pulled the jade sword in her hand and twirled it, the sword immediately emitted a faint silver glow. She made a move and the sword qi shot out, the black clad men were defenseless against it and instantly she took down several of them.
Yu Sifeng took advantage of the fact that they had not yet reacted, his body was like lightning, his sword was like a swimming dragon, and he made a quick turn around the circle, and the cries of pain were immediately heard. “The people inside, get out!”
The few people who were struggling to hold on in the circle reacted very quickly, and once they saw someone coming to their aid, they forced themselves out of the breach without waiting for him to finish. “Brother! Go and inform the Island Master!”
Hearing a voice that sounded familiar, Yu Sifeng hurriedly turned around and both sides met each other and shrieked at the same time!
“Sifeng!”
“Mingyan! If you …… you ……” behind suddenly a sharp wind slashes down, Yu Sifeng can not finish his words, but swings his sword to block. The black-clad demons around them are surrounded them more and more, and each of them is as fast as a ghost, so they are having a hard time coping.
“We’ll deal with it here, you go and report to the Island Master first!” Zhong Minyan was covered in sweat, and his face was covered in blood, looking extremely embarrassed. The most unbelievable thing is that he seems to have a person on his back, so his movements are not as agile as usual, just moved a couple of times to fend off, soon forced back by the tide of black-clad demons, and no idea how many wounds on his body.
Xuanji waved her sword for a long time, seeing that she had not finished fighting, but she was gradually surrounded by those demons, unable to do anything, her heart was bored, so she simply put the sword away, creating her hand seals to release the immortal magic.
Yu Sifeng shouted loudly, “Xuanji! Don’t use the fire magic! They have explosives with them ……”
The voice cut off before it finished, so he must have been trapped and helpless.
The other spells, such as water arrows and heavenly thunder, are not very effective, so if you can’t use the fire spell, the only thing to do is wait for death.
Xuanji secretly gritted her teeth, whatever, just blow the explosives and then fly away!
Yu Sifeng only felt a hot wind rushing the back of his neck, he looked back in horror and saw several fire dragons rising up with sparks in the sky, waving their heads and tails in the air frantically.
He shouted that it was not good, and hurriedly waved his sword to force away the demons in front of him, and flew away from the encircling circle first, turning back and shouting with all his might: “Run!”
As soon as the words fell, they heard “boom, boom, boom” countless loud sounds, mid-air suddenly there were countless flowers of black smoke, black shiny hot wind, rolled with smoke, smashing their heads and face. People in that violent air flow had no control, like pieces of broken leaves, instantly scattered.
Yu Sifeng only felt dizzy, his ears and nose were in excruciating pain, and must have been injured by the sound wave. He turned many somersaults in the air, and if he hadn’t clenched his teeth and held his breath, he would have fallen off the sword.
Finally the rolling waves finally subsided, he gasped, his face was full of blood, desperately looked up into the air, where there is nothing but the rolling smoke, those black-clad demons would have been blown up by their own explosives.
But his concern is not this.
“Xuanji! Minyan!” He was hoarse and couldn’t scream any louder, but he didn’t give up and kept calling their names. But no one answered him except for the smoke in front of him.
Nonsense …… this is such nonsense! He simply did not know what to do, dare not think, if they are dead ……
A moment, only a moment, how could ……
“Hey! Sifeng are you okay?” from the front suddenly came Zhong Minyan’s loud voice, followed by several people breaking through the smoke, their swords flew to him, Yu Sifeng stared bewilderingly at them, it took him a moment to react.
Zhong Minyan was covered in wounds, even his forehead was covered in blood, leaning on Ruo’Yu, who was also hurt, grinning bloodily at him.
And beside Ruo’Yu, there are several female disciples wearing the clothes of Fu Yu Island, each of them is injured. The girl in the forefront, with a pretty face, looked at him with shining eyes and screamed: “Sifeng! Sifeng!”
It was actually Lu Yanran.
Yu Sifeng nervously looked around, and the last person he saw was Xuanji, whose body was black with smoke. When she saw him coming, she waved excitedly at him and flew over to grab his arm, exclaiming: “Look, I made it!”
“Look, I did it! Did you see that, Sifeng?”
After that she turned back to Zhong Minyan and waved, “Sixth Brother! Ruo’Yu! Are you all right?”
As the saying goes, you can’t judge a person by his or her appearance, and Xuanji is a typical example of a person who can’t be judged by his or her appearance.
Yu Sifeng finally came back to his senses, his arms and legs are scared to the point of weakness, and with a pained smile he finally raised his hand and patted her on the head and sighed, “First, let’s go down and then talk.”
