Chapter 177 Abandoned Manor
His words were as cold as ice, but no one responded.
Shangguan Jiannan took a closer look and found that the deceased was a young inner sect disciple of the Wuji Sect. His clothes were eye-catching, but now his whole body was covered in blood. His face was pale and terrifying, his eyes were wide open, and the blood on his chest was even more shocking.
Next to a corpse, there was a blood hole as big as a fist, which was shocking, and the internal organs were empty.
The deceased's eyes were wide open and his face was extremely distorted, as if he had suffered extreme fear and despair before his death.
His body was soaked in blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and terror.
Apparently, he experienced great fear before his death, and then suffered a fatal blow, killing him instantly.
Shangguan Jiannan stared at the scene, his thoughts racing and his heart filled with doubts.
Lin Ruohua witnessed the miserable state of his junior fellow apprentice and became mad, roaring like a madman, shaking the earth. Grief and anger intertwined and filled the surroundings.
"Who is it! Who is it?" His roar echoed in the empty space, never stopping.
Shangguan Jiannan felt pity when he saw this, and wanted to go forward to comfort her, but he suddenly saw something unusual in the distance, and was stunned, his eyes were like torches.
Not far away, a figure was vaguely visible, which made his expression suddenly change and his face became gloomy.
"Ah!" Lu Jing exclaimed, and their faces turned pale instantly.
Then, two figures rushed out and crossed a distance of dozens of feet in an instant.
As he got closer, Shangguan Jiannan's expression became more solemn.
He took a deep breath, his body trembled slightly, and his face turned pale as paper.
Lu Jing turned her head away. Even though she had experienced life and death, this scene still made her stomach churn and she almost vomited.
In the crevices of the rocks, a huge body lay quietly. Its skin was as hard as rock but had already burst and was bleeding. The dried blood had dyed the surrounding rocks dark red, which was a shocking sight.
His clothes were torn, his flesh was turned inside out, and his face was distorted, revealing the extreme pain and shock before death.
This person was none other than Lu Chuan, a member of the Yingfeng Team. His burly body was in pieces, with his huge shield left beside him. The surroundings were in a mess, showing the cruelty of the battlefield.
Seeing this scene, Shangguan Jiannan was shocked and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
Looking back a moment ago, everyone was still laughing and talking, but now they are separated by the Yin and Yang, and things in this world are unpredictable.
Lu Chuan is known for his astonishing strength. At this moment, his arms are twisted, bones and tendons are broken, which is shocking.
Shangguan Jiannan sighed in his heart, knowing that his opponent was much stronger than Lu Chuan and could take his life in an instant with his absolute advantage.
"Who is this person?" Shangguan Jiannan was secretly shocked, his face solemn, and fear quietly spread.
The atmosphere around them became increasingly heavy, and even a heroine like Lu Jing could not help but lose color and become confused.
“Originally, there were three people traveling together, but now only Lu Chuan’s remains are seen.”
Shangguan Jiannan closed his eyes and thought, full of doubts, "Was he kidnapped, or did he escape?" His thoughts were flooding with questions, and they needed answers urgently.
He suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed, and Shangguan Jiannan's face became even gloomier.
At this time, Lin Ruohua appeared quietly with spiritual energy fluctuating around him.
"Any clues?" she asked, her voice heavy.
Shangguan Jiannan shook his head helplessly, everything remained a mystery.
Shangguan Jiannan looked somewhat dejected, and said in a deep voice: "There is no important discovery, but the opponent's strength is extraordinary. We are obviously suppressed."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruohua nodded slightly. He was well aware of what had happened to Lu Chuan and his junior brother, and the opponent was obviously stronger.
The three of them suddenly fell silent, their faces solemn, and they looked around with strange colors flashing in their eyes.
A few minutes later, Lu Jing managed to calm down. Although her complexion had recovered, it was still pale.
The scene was dead silent. The two people lying on the ground died with their eyes open. Air was surging all around. Shangguan Jiannan's expression became increasingly solemn, and the atmosphere was extremely weird.
Deep in the ancient ruins, the cold air was even more gloomy. He decisively shouted, "Keep going deeper!" Then he flashed and led the way.
The lives of Lu Chuan, Xu Dakai and Feng Bowen are uncertain, so how can Shangguan Jiannan retreat?
His robe fluttered, followed closely by Lu Jing and Lin Ruohua. The three of them cooperated tacitly and headed for the unknown together.
As you go deeper, the atmosphere becomes increasingly eerie. The cold wind carries a chilling and decaying air that makes you shudder.
The three of them formed a triangle formation and moved forward cautiously, being both on guard and relying on each other.
As they went deeper, everyone became more cautious.
Lin Ruohua led the way, pointing his sword in all directions with a sharp gaze.
Shangguan Jiannan and Lu Jing acted separately, weapons in hand, moving cautiously at every step and being alert to their surroundings.
Suddenly, there was a sound of wind, and three people flashed by like lightning.
In an instant, the surrounding spiritual energy surged like waves, roaring and shaking the sky.
The sun gradually faded, night fell quietly, and an indescribable weirdness filled the mountains and forests.
From the depths of the jungle, a low and long roar could be heard faintly, echoing endlessly. It made Shangguan Jiannan look solemn and his steps became heavier.
However, the three of them had extraordinary eyesight and could move around freely even in the dim light without any hindrance.
The mountain wind howled, the shadows of the trees swayed and rustled, adding a bit of eeriness to the night.
They shuttled between the dark shadows without slowing down.
Suddenly, a building rose from the ground in the distance. Although small, it was eye-catching and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The three of them showed joy on their faces, and without hesitation, they quickly rushed towards the building. The sound of breaking wind was sharp and piercing, accompanied by bursts of explosions, and they were getting closer and closer.
It was an abandoned manor, standing alone on a hill. It looked particularly desolate and eerie, and even more eerie under the cover of night.
The three of them let out a long breath at the same time, as if all the depression in their hearts was swept away.
After a short pause, they unanimously decided to go and explore.
Gripping their weapons tightly, the three men sped up and headed straight for the villa.
Although the hill where the villa is located is not high, it still requires several dozen feet to climb.
They exerted all their strength and arrived in a flash, but suddenly stopped, gathered the spiritual energy around their bodies, and changed to walking quickly, approaching the target silently.
The three of them moved forward cautiously, gradually approaching the abandoned manor. The mottled and crumbling stone walls told of the vicissitudes of time.
Although the manor is small, with only two or three stone rooms, it was built with huge stones. Now the stones are broken and the walls are dilapidated, making it even more eerie.
The three of them walked side by side, slowly, until they reached the gate of the manor.
Suddenly, a faint and strange breathing sound was heard in the house, which instantly made their hearts tense.
They exchanged glances, their wariness evident in their expressions.
Lin Ruohua raised her hand slightly, asking Shangguan Jiannan if he wanted to come in. Shangguan Jiannan looked solemn, nodded in response, and confirmed with a gesture.
With a light sigh, the three of them worked together and with a loud bang, the rotten wooden door shattered into pieces.
A musty smell blew in my face, suffocating me for a moment.
Shangguan Jiannan frowned and was the first to step into this dark place, followed by Lin Ruohua, and Lu Jing followed closely behind.
The sword flashed, and the crisp sound of the sword broke the silence. The two men moved forward cautiously, and the atmosphere was solemn.
As soon as I stepped over the threshold, a cold wind suddenly blew and came howling.
"Be careful!" Shangguan Jiannan shouted in a low voice. The three of them became alert instantly and retreated violently. At the same time, sword lights intertwined, metal and iron rang, and dazzling rays of light were drawn in the darkness.
In this darkness and unknown, they rely on intuition and tacit understanding to deal with unknown threats, and every step is full of crises and challenges.
