Chapter 19: Rebuilding Cold Shadow Peak
The duel between Ye Han and Qing Ren was even more intense. Ye Han was more skilled and temporarily had the upper hand. He saw his men gradually disintegrating, and he could not help but roared, and attacked Qing Ren more swiftly and with all his strength.
At this time, another middle-aged man in gray saw this and immediately joined forces with Ye Han to chop at the green blade. Suddenly, a shout came from the village, and then forty or fifty burly men rushed out.
They held swords in their hands, and in groups of seven, they surrounded a middle-aged man in gray, and then rushed away. Qing Ren exclaimed, "It's the Big Dipper Sword Formation!" He knew in his heart that this formation was extremely powerful and he might not be able to resist it.
Ye Han laughed grimly and threatened Qing Ren that if he didn't confess who was driving him, he would destroy everyone on Hanying Peak. Qing Ren was extremely angry and used his "Heavenly Rank" skill to fight with Ye Han and the other two middle-aged men in gray.
The three of them set up the "Three Talents Formation" and fought Ye Han to a standstill. Experts from the village continued to pour out, not only surrounding the fighting arena, but also rushing out of the village to intercept the enemy's reinforcements.
Ye Han gave an order, "Go!" Immediately, the lightsabers and shadows of swords and sabers all covered the six middle-aged men in gray clothes who were surrounded in the Big Dipper sword formation.
Outside the village, screams were heard, and the masters of Hanying Peak retreated like a tide. At this time, thirty-six brocade-robed men rushed out holding double axes. They used the domineering "Swift Wind Axe Technique", which was so fast and sharp that it could break anyone or any weapon it touched.
The brocade-clad men were running and hacking at the same time, their figures looked extremely powerful in the night. The battle became more and more intense, with both sides fighting back and forth, and it was difficult to tell who was better.
Amidst the blood and screams, four girls in white calmly carried a sedan chair and quickly crossed the chaotic battlefield.
The masters in the village tried to avoid the thirty-six warriors holding huge axes, but before they could get three steps away, they let out terrible shouts and fell to the ground.
However, the four girls in white did not show any attacking movements, nor did they use any palm power. What kind of sinister Kung Fu was this? A hidden weapon! It must be a hidden weapon that can kill with one blow.
However, at this moment, Han Yingfeng was fighting against the group of ferocious men in brocade clothes with all his might and had no time to take care of other things.
In the morning sun, the axe light flickered, accompanied by blood, flesh and screams, as if being in purgatory on earth.
The Big Dipper sword formation had collapsed long ago, and the thirty-six axemen and six middle-aged men in gray joined forces to fiercely attack the masters who were putting up a desperate resistance.
Ye Han's face became even more ferocious at this time. He tightened his belt, shook his spiritual power, and a cold light shot out from the straight thin blade.
Qing Ren exclaimed, "Blood-Transforming Sword!" Ye Han responded, "Yes!" A cold light flashed, and the right arm of an old man in gray was cut off from the shoulder. He fell to the ground and died before he could even let out a half-scream. Qing Ren involuntarily stepped back.
The other old man who was half a step slower was broken into two pieces at the waist. Qing Ren exclaimed in surprise: "Old Zhang..." In the chaos, a sharp and piercing whistle suddenly came from the sedan.
When the thirty-six men in brocade clothes heard the voice, they immediately abandoned their opponents, wielded their axes wildly, and attacked Ye Han fiercely.
Ye Han's expression changed, and he rushed forward with the Blood-Transforming Knife in his right hand and the Mysterious Yin Palm in his left hand without hesitation. A cold voice came from the sedan chair: "Kill without mercy!" The four girls in white responded: "Yes!" They immediately pounced on the enemy.
At the same time, in the "tower prison" outside the manor, Shangguan Jiannan was practicing sword skills with the help of Ying Ling after the departure of Taoist Xuantian.
He had no distracting thoughts and was immersed in the exploration of the sword's intent.
Suddenly, a scream woke him up. Before he could see what was happening, he heard a whisper: "Little brother!"
Shangguan Jiannan stood up and looked, only to see a narrow door appear between the surrounding iron walls, and Elder Zhan Tai had walked in.
Shangguan Jiannan stared at the person who came, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Is it you?" he asked.
That’s right, this was none other than Elder Zhan Tai who had led him to Hanying Peak nine years ago.
Elder Zhan Tai nodded slightly, with a bit of intimacy in his voice: "Little brother, long time no see, how are you these days?" Elder Zhan Tai smiled and said, "Little brother, nine years ago you kept the secret and didn't reveal any information, which saved me and Sister Jinghua from that disaster and humiliation. Do you still remember Sister Jinghua?"
"Oh, it's her!" Shangguan Jiannan suddenly realized.
"It's her, little brother." Elder Zhan Tai confirmed.
At this time, a beautiful and graceful woman, Zhao Jinghua, walked in with a smile. She was Shangguan Jiannan's savior and guide.
She was dressed in martial arts attire, looking both charming and heroic.
Shangguan Jiannan looked at her and was stunned. "Why are you dressed like this?" Shangguan Jiannan asked curiously, "Are you going to kill someone?"
Zhao Jinghua chuckled and explained, "Little brother, don't be afraid. Today is the day that Ye Han, the leader of Hanying Peak, is expelled from the Shadow Pavilion. Brother Zhan Tai and I are here to pick you up."
Shangguan Jiannan showed a surprised expression: "Hanying Peak is full of talented people. Who on earth has such great ability to force the leader of Hanying Peak to be removed from the list?"
Zhao Jinghua smiled and replied: "It is the combined strength of all the peaks of our Shadow Pavilion."
Elder Zhan Tai added softly, "Little brother, Sister Jinghua and I are a couple. In today's battle, all the peaks of our Shadow Pavilion united and finally eliminated this scum."
"Oh! I understand," Shangguan Jiannan suddenly realized, "Today you can reunite, and I can leave here to get some fresh air."
Zhao Jinghua smiled and said, "Then let's go quickly."
Shangguan Jiannan suddenly asked: "Can we take away the other people who are imprisoned here?"
Elder Zhan Tai smiled and said, "Little brother, as far as I know, you are the first and only prisoner in the 'Tower Prison' of Hanying Peak in 800 years. Let's go!"
Shangguan Jiannan couldn't help but marvel at the magical power of Xuantian Laodao. He thought to himself, "Is there really no one here? This place can become a good place to practice shadow skills in the future."
When Shangguan Jiannan, Elder Zhan Tai, and Zhao Jinghua walked out of the "tower prison", the scene before them shocked him.
There were dead bodies everywhere, blood was flowing like a river, and the bloody smell filled the air, as if one was in the Senluo Palace.
Shangguan Jiannan couldn't help but tremble. He looked closely and almost cried out in shock. It turned out that the ugly owner of the manor was nailed to the wall by dozens of axes, standing upright with his eyes wide open, as if he still had endless resentment and unwillingness towards this world.
The way he died was heartbreaking. It was obvious that he died unwillingly, as his eyes were still open.
In front of him, twelve or thirteen strong men in brocade clothes fell down.
Their fall seemed to foreshadow the fierce fight that had taken place here not long ago.
When Shangguan Jiannan saw this scene, his heart tightened and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Zhao Jinghua gently pulled Shangguan Jiannan's sleeve, and the two of them quickly followed Elder Zhan Tai towards the sedan chair.
The two knelt on the ground and called out respectfully, "The subordinates Zhan Taimingli and Zhao Jinghua pay their respects to the Master of the Green Blade Peak."
However, Shangguan Jiannan stood silently without moving.
"No need to be so polite." A low and majestic voice came from the sedan chair.
Then I heard "Zhan Tai Mingli".
Elder Zhan Tai immediately stepped forward and saluted, "I am here."
The person in the sedan continued, "From now on, you will be responsible for cleaning up this place and taking over the position of the leader of Hanying Peak. Start rebuilding Hanying Peak. Except for those who hold the token in the pavilion, anyone who approaches Hanying Peak will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes." Elder Zhan Tai replied.
Then, the Pavilion Master asked again: "Is this boy your disciple?"
Elder Zhan Tai replied, “Not yet.”
The Pavilion Master nodded in approval: "Okay, by order of the Pavilion Master of Shadow Pavilion, you and Zhao Jinghua will look for outstanding disciples from today on to strengthen Cold Shadow Peak. Ten years later, Shadow Pavilion will come out of the mountain."
"Yes, I will follow the Pavilion Master's order." Elder Zhan Tai replied respectfully.
Afterwards, Qing Ren waved his hand and everyone left, leaving only Shangguan Jiannan, Elder Zhan Tai and Zhao Jinghua behind.
Zhao Jinghua looked gloomy, turned around and said, "Let's go, let's clean up the corpses here first."
