Chapter 102 Conspiracy
Damn it! Zhao Yushu cursed loudly, holding Lan Ling's waist with one hand and grabbing Hei Lu's collar with the other hand, and then he ran towards the gate of the temple at full speed.
Vines suddenly extended over, ready to seal the door. Zhao Yushu gritted his teeth, and Madam Xu let out a low hum. Spiritual power gushed out, instantly increasing his speed by 20%.
The speed of the vines is limited. Although they have formed a defense, Zhao Yushu can still crash through them with his speed and physical strength. It's a pity that the Shadow Step cannot be used with other people, otherwise he would have been out long ago.
The gate was right in front of me, and I would be safe in the next moment. Although it was dark outside the gate, it represented safety until a ray of light came.
The tip of the fine steel sword quickly enlarged in Zhao Yushu's pupils. His speed was too fast and the speed of the sword was also very fast, so fast that Zhao Yushu had no time to stop.
With a "puff", Zhao Yushu only had time to twist his body forcefully to avoid the vital points, and his entire right shoulder was pierced directly. The three of them crashed into the vines together, but the momentum was gone, and they were directly blocked back to the hall, rolling on the ground. Suddenly, several vines wrapped around him, tightly strangling Zhao Yushu's neck, making it difficult for him to survive.
Zhao Yushu covered the wound on his right shoulder and stared at the door with wide eyes. A young man walked in with a sword in hand and a smile on his face.
"Mr. Zhao, long time no see."
Zhang Yuan held a sword and stepped into the temple, with vines closing in layers behind him.
"It's you!" Zhao Yushu remembered this young man and his brother, the Nanyang Zhang brothers, but why was he on the side of the mountain god?
"It's me. I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to be here too. Mr. Zhao is truly blessed. He appears wherever there is an opportunity. You got a great bargain at Longmen, but why not leave the stuff from Jiufeng Mountain to me?"
"Which eye of yours saw that there is something good here? Do you know who you are working with?"
Zhao Yushu was confused. He came here to save people, so why did the Zhang brothers come? Treasure? The sword in Black Deer's hand was a great treasure to him. Was it also attractive to others? Moreover, he only learned about the existence of the sword after entering the mountain. How did the Zhang brothers know about it?
Zhang Yuan pretended to be surprised: "Oh, Mr. Zhao, you are really a master at pretending to be confused. There is such a big statue of a mountain god here, and you tell me there is nothing?"
Zhang Yuan walked to the side, picked up the fallen black deer and threw it under the altar: "Wait until the mountain god cures the disease and turns this kid into a mountain god. He will use the spiritual power of the entire Jiufeng Mountain to give me a crown. If I'm lucky, I can directly reach the inner scene!"
It's really funny, why does everyone want to reach the top in one step, the ghost Buddha and this kid too, if there was such a good thing, I would have begged Senior Brother Fengsao to help me pull it up directly.
Zhao Yushu sat up and sneered, "Why don't you ask this mountain god if he has any inner vision? Do you know that he wants to eat people?"
Zhang Yuan glanced at him and said, "In front of cultivation, a few mountain villagers are nothing. At most, I can give them a few taels of silver. They may even kowtow to thank you for the reward."
Zhao Yushu's eyes turned cold: "You really deserve to die."
"Mr. Zhao, you are a dying man, so please be kind." Zhang Yuan turned to the mountain god and said, "Please restore my brother's consciousness first."
"No hurry, bring those kids here first, it's taking too long."
Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Where are those children?"
"The black deer's residence is hidden very deep. You can ask him. You should be good at these things." After the mountain god said this, the beating of the entire fruit core seemed to slow down a lot, as if it was very tired.
Zhang Yuan's eyes flickered, and he walked towards the black deer beside him. He exerted spiritual power from his palm, and the black deer groaned and slowly opened its eyes.
"You! Liar! Bad guy!" As soon as Hei Lu saw Zhang Yuan, he immediately spat out a few words with gritted teeth.
Zhang Yuan sneered: "You are stupid, so don't blame me. Tell me where the child is hidden so that you won't suffer any physical pain."
"Pooh!" Black Deer had no idea what had happened to him. Apart from his mouth being able to speak, his whole body was motionless.
"Mountain God, it's okay to injure this body a little, right?" Zhang Yuan was ready to torture him.
"As long as I'm alive, it's enough." The mountain god replied weakly.
Zhang Yuan raised a cruel smile, raised his sword, and stabbed the black deer's wrist.
The black deer's eyes suddenly widened in anger, but he clenched his teeth and said nothing.
"Ha, you're really a man. Don't worry, my hands are very steady. I can stab at least fifty wounds on your arm."
After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he stabbed down with the sword again. Hei Lu closed his eyes, his cheeks trembled, and he still said nothing.
Zhao Yushu's face flushed red. Although the vines on his neck did not strangle him to death, they made it impossible for him to circulate his spiritual energy smoothly, and he could not use some means of escape.
And just after Zhang Yuan stabbed the fifth sword, the black deer finally couldn't help but let out a low scream.
"I'm going to tell you sooner or later. The sooner you tell me, the less suffering you'll suffer. I'm not a bloodthirsty person, don't you think?" Zhang Yuan said as he turned the sword and stabbed at the black deer's leg.
"Brother Zhao..." A weak voice came from the side. Zhao Yushu turned his eyes and found that Lan Ling had opened her eyes slightly at some point. The Buddhist beads in her palm were glowing faintly, but she did not move at all. It was obvious that she did not want to attract the attention of the mountain god and Zhang Yuan.
"Miss Lan, can you move?" Zhao Yushu lowered his voice, watching Zhang Yuan executing Hei Lu with great interest, feeling anxious.
"It's only half recovered, but it's enough for one attack."
"I need you to help me cut this thing off, then you go open the door and I'll go rescue Black Deer."
Lan Ling nodded slightly: "I'll listen to your commands."
Zhao Yushu closed his eyes, feeling Madam Xu's sharpness: "One, two, three!"
Lan Ling suddenly opened her eyes, a cold light flashed, Zhao Yushu only felt his neck lighten, and the next moment, the whole person disappeared.
Lan Ling had no time to be surprised. She turned around and spun the Emei Spears in both hands like wheels, breaking the vines blocking the door.
The moment Lan Ling made her move, the mountain god tree suddenly trembled, and vines quickly swept away, and the entire temple began to be filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Zhang Yuan's cultivation was low, and his reaction was also slow. When he noticed Lan Lingdong, he was so scared that he quickly took a few steps back to prevent Zhao Yushu's sneak attack.
The moment Zhao Yushu used the Shadow Step, he did not appear directly next to the black deer, but directly next to the altar. This is the maximum range that the Shadow Step can reach. In the blink of an eye, it only takes a breath of time to reach the mountain god.
His right hand was temporarily unable to move, but he did not intend to use the sword this time.
A cold light appeared from his left hand and pierced directly into the heart-like fruit core in the cave of the mountain god tree.
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader.
No one can block Madam Xu's attack with their body, and Zhao Yushu has unparalleled confidence in Madam Xu.
If only he could stab it.
