Chapter 506
Chapter 506
When the two sides were deadlocked, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly changed his strategy and stopped fighting head-on. Instead, he began to move around, using his familiarity with the terrain to lead Shadow into a dangerous place. There was a huge rock, and below it was a deep abyss.
"Ying, it's time to end this game." Ren Xiaoyao's voice echoed in the night sky with a hint of teasing.
'Shadow' obviously also realized the crisis, but it was too late. Ren Xiaoyao took advantage of his unpreparedness and kicked the rock. The huge force caused the rock to collapse and roll into the abyss. In order to avoid it, 'Shadow' had to jump to the side, and there were dangers everywhere.
Just as Ying was trying to gain a firm foothold, Ren Xiaoyao had already followed him like a shadow, with his sword unsheathed and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Ying's heart. "You lose."
Shadow was silent for a moment, and finally slowly took off her veil, revealing a young face, who turned out to be a woman. "Ren Xiaoyao, you are indeed strong, but I did not lose to you in this battle, but to my own underestimation of the enemy."
Ren Xiaoyao sheathed his sword and looked at the woman in front of him with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "There is no certainty in the road of martial arts. Today's battle has brought us both gains. I hope you can be more cautious in the future."
The woman nodded, turned and left, her figure gradually blending into the night, as mysterious as when she came.
Ren Xiaoyao stood alone on the peak, looking at the moonlight in the distance, with an inexplicable emotion in his heart. The world is always full of unknowns, and he will continue to move forward on this road, looking for his own way.
"Ren Xiaoyao, we'll say goodbye today and see you again in the future." A woman's voice came from a distance. Although it was soft, it was clear to the ears.
Ren Xiaoyao responded softly: "The road ahead is long, I hope you and I can find the peace in our hearts."
As the words fell, the mountain breeze blew again, seeming to take away all the tension and conflict, leaving only tranquility and harmony.
The moonlight sprinkled on the ancient Mount Tai like water. The mountain breeze was cool, but it could not blow away the heavy atmosphere. Ren Xiaoyao stood on the top of the mountain, his clothes fluttering, and his eyes flashed with determination. The long sword in his hand rang softly, as if telling a long-lost story. Tonight, he will face the legendary mysterious force in the martial arts world - the Five Poison Sect.
"Ren Xiaoyao, you are finally here." A cold voice came from the darkness, and the leader of the Five Poisons slowly stepped into the moonlight. His eyes were like a snake, chilling.
"I'm here only to seek justice." Ren Xiaoyao's voice was calm and powerful. He looked directly at the Five Poisons Leader without any retreat.
"Fairness?" The Five Poisons Sect Leader sneered, "In this martial world, only the strong are qualified to talk about justice."
Before he finished speaking, the Five Poison Sect Leader moved, and pounced towards Ren Xiaoyao like a ghost, with the short blade in his hand glowing with a faint green light. Ren Xiaoyao swayed slightly, and the long sword was unsheathed. The tip of the sword drew a silver arc in the air, colliding with the short blade, making a crisp metal collision sound.
The two fought as fast as lightning, and every move was full of deadly murderous intent. On the top of Mount Tai, sword energy was everywhere and poisonous fog was everywhere. Ren Xiaoyao silently recited the sword tactics of his master in his heart. His sword skills were as smooth as flowing water. Every time he swung his sword, he accurately resolved the attack of the Five Poisons Sect Leader.
"Your swordsmanship is indeed superb, but the Five Poison Sect's poison techniques are beyond your imagination!" The Five Poison Sect leader grinned, and suddenly a green pill appeared in his hand. He swallowed it suddenly, and his body was immediately wrapped in a layer of strange green light.
Ren Xiaoyao frowned, knowing that this must be the secret skill of the Five Poison Sect, so he did not dare to be careless. He pointed his sword and the sword energy rushed into the sky like a dragon, forcing the green light back a little. However, the attack of the Five Poison Sect leader became more fierce, and the poison mist turned into substance, like a poisonous snake, winding around.
Ren Xiaoyao was anxious. If he was touched by the poisonous fog, the consequences would be disastrous. At this moment, the last move taught by his master, "Dawn", flashed through his mind. This move condensed the essence of all the swordsmanship of the master, and was a ray of hope in desperate situations.
With a wave of his sword, Ren Xiaoyao's aura increased sharply, and the tip of the sword pointed to the sky, as if to pierce through the night and greet the first ray of dawn. "Dawn!" With a low shout, the sword's light surged, like the first ray of sunlight at dawn, penetrating all the darkness and dispelling the poisonous fog of the Five Poison Sect Leader.
The Five Poison Sect Leader's face changed drastically. He had not expected that Ren Xiaoyao could use such a powerful sword technique. Under the dazzling sword light, his figure gradually became blurred, and finally, with a scream, he disappeared on the top of Mount Tai.
Ren Xiaoyao put away his sword and stood, looking at the gradually whitening sky in the east, with mixed feelings in his heart. Although he won this battle, he also deeply realized the dangers and complexity of the martial arts world.
"Brother Ren, are you okay?" A familiar voice sounded. It was his good friend and ally in this operation. Zhang Wuji came out from his hiding place and asked with concern.
"Thank you for your concern. Everything is under control." Ren Xiaoyao responded with a smile, a barely perceptible hint of fatigue flashing across his eyes, but he knew that his real journey in the martial arts world had just begun.
"What should we do next?" Zhang Wuji asked.
"Keep going. Jianghu is so vast, and there are still many unknowns waiting for us to explore." Ren Xiaoyao looked into the distance with a firm tone, "As long as we have justice in our hearts, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will move forward courageously."
The moonlight fell like water on the top of the ancient Mount Tai, and the night wind brought a hint of coolness, but it could not blow away the murderous aura in the air. Ren Xiaoyao stood on a huge rock, his clothes fluttering, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, fixed tightly on the front. In this silence, only the chirping of insects in the mountains and forests and the occasional roar of beasts in the distance accompanied, as if playing a prelude to the upcoming battle.
"Ren Xiaoyao, you are finally here." A cold voice came from the darkness, and then five figures emerged like ghosts. They were the masters of the famous Five Poison Sect. They were dressed in colorful clothes, holding strange weapons in their hands, and each pair of eyes flashed with a venomous snake-like light.
Ren Xiaoyao's mouth curled up into a cold smile. He jumped lightly, and his figure was like a ghost, and he instantly appeared in front of the Five Poison Sect. "You Five Poison Sect are rampant and tyrannical. Today is your doom."
As soon as the voice fell, a woman from the Five Poison Sect took the lead. Her movements were light and strange. The long whip in her hand rolled towards Ren Xiaoyao's throat like a living thing. Ren Xiaoyao was not in a hurry. He slightly turned his body and slapped out with a palm. The palm wind was so sharp that he actually forced the woman back several steps. At the same time, the other four people also launched attacks. Poison needles, hidden weapons, short knives, and various weapons intertwined into an impenetrable offensive.
Ren Xiaoyao's feet were as fast as the wind, and he shuttled between the enemies like a swimming dragon. Every move he made was extremely accurate and hit the vital points directly. But the masters of the Five Poison Sect were not ordinary people. They cooperated well and had profound poison techniques, forcing Ren Xiaoyao to go all out.
The battle was getting intense, and the top of Mount Tai seemed to be another world, with only the flash of swords and roars. Although Ren Xiaoyao had the upper hand, the opponent's poison was really difficult to deal with, and if he was not careful, he might be hit. He thought to himself that he had to fight quickly, otherwise there would be more trouble.
At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly discovered a flaw in a man from the Five Poison Sect. That was his only chance. He accelerated suddenly, and rushed towards the man like an arrow from a bow. He punched out with a heavy punch, and the powerful internal force made the man spit blood and fly backwards, and at the same time disrupted the Five Poison Sect's formation.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Ren Xiaoyao used his special skills and turned into a shadow, knocking down two enemies in succession. The remaining two wanted to escape, but Ren Xiaoyao followed them like a shadow and subdued them one by one. In the end, all the masters of the Five Poison Sect fell to the ground, and the top of Mount Tai returned to peace.
Ren Xiaoyao stood there, looking at the sky full of stars, but there was no joy in his heart. He knew that the road of the martial arts world was always full of unknowns and challenges. "Ren Xiaoyao, you are really ruthless." A voice sounded behind him. He turned around and saw a girl standing not far away, with admiration and confusion in her eyes.
"In this world, sometimes, being ruthless is also a way to survive." Ren Xiaoyao said lightly, turned and left, leaving the girl standing alone in the moonlight with mixed feelings in her heart.
Ren Xiaoyao stood on the top of Mount Tai, with the sea of clouds rolling, as if it could wash away all the dust in the world. The long sword in his hand trembled slightly, and the tip of the sword pointed to the sky, as if he was going to compete with this vast world. Today, he faced Murong Yu, a legendary master in the martial arts world, known as the "Crane in the Clouds".
"Brother Ren, I have heard of your great name for a long time. Seeing you today, you are indeed very heroic." Murong Yu's voice was like a mountain stream, with a sense of leisure and contentment. "However, rumors in the martial arts world say that although your swordsmanship is high, it is too sharp. It is not as good as my Yun Zhonghe, who comes and goes without a trace and is erratic."
Ren Xiaoyao smiled faintly upon hearing this. That smile showed respect for his opponent and confidence in his swordsmanship. "Brother Murong, you are too kind. I, Ren, travel the world just to seek peace of mind. Wherever my sword points, it is only to protect the one I love."
As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, and the clouds gathered in an instant, covering the two of them. Ren Xiaoyao knew that this was Murong Yu's unique skill - "Cloud Hiding Technique", which could hide his figure in an instant, making it hard to defend against. But he did not panic, closed his eyes, and carefully felt every breath of air flowing and every heartbeat.
"Brother Ren, do you know that Yun Zhonghe is best at finding the enemy's flaws in the clouds and fog?" Murong Yu's voice seemed to come from all directions, making it unpredictable.
Ren Xiaoyao smiled lightly, his voice penetrating the mist, firm and steady: "Brother Murong, you know that my sword can not only cut through the wind and clouds, but also see through people's hearts. Every word you say is telling me your inner hesitation and anxiety."
Suddenly, a sword light cut through the mist and pointed directly at Murong Yu's heart. Murong Yu was shocked and quickly dodged sideways, but Ren Xiaoyao's swordsmanship was already beyond the ordinary. This sword seemed direct, but in fact it contained countless changes. With a flash of sword light, Murong Yu's sleeve was cut, and his skin was almost injured.
"Ren Xiaoyao, you are indeed worthy of your reputation!" Murong Yu praised, with a trace of admiration in his eyes, "But this competition is not over yet!"
Ren Xiaoyao put away his sword and stood, looking at Murong Yu, his eyes full of fighting spirit: "Brother Murong, you and I are both in the martial arts world, and winning or losing is not important. What is important is whether we can find our true path in this duel."
Murong Yu heard this, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Brother Ren is right, today's battle has benefited me a lot. From now on, I will cherish every opportunity to learn from masters, and no longer limit myself to my own little world."
Ren Xiaoyao smiled slightly and held out his hand: "I hope we can have more confrontations like this in the future, grow together, and make progress together."
Murong Yu held Ren Xiaoyao's hand, and the two smiled at each other. All the tension and hostility disappeared at this moment, leaving only deep respect and friendship between them.
"Brother Ren, I look forward to our next showdown." Murong Yu turned and left, his figure gradually disappearing into the clouds.
Ren Xiaoyao looked at his back, his heart full of emotion: "The road of Jianghu is long and far, but as long as there are like-minded people accompanying you, you will not feel lonely." After that, he sheathed his sword and walked towards the sunset in the distance. His back gradually disappeared in the sea of clouds, leaving the world with endless reverie.
Just as Ren Xiaoyao was about to disappear into the horizon, a sharp eagle cry pierced the sky, and a huge hawk swooped down from the depths of the clouds, its wings spread out like a dark cloud pressing down on the top of the head, and swooped down on Ren Xiaoyao. This sudden attack startled everyone present, and Ren Xiaoyao also frowned, thinking in his heart: "Who is this monster who dares to provoke me at this moment?"
The hawk was as fast as lightning, its claws gleaming with cold light, it was obviously well-trained and had a clear goal. Ren Xiaoyao dodged the hawk's attack like a ghost, and at the same time drew his sword from its sheath, the tip of the sword drawing a silver arc in the air, trying to force the hawk back. However, the hawk was extremely cunning, and after circling, it attacked again, and its offensive was so fierce that Ren Xiaoyao even felt a little oppressed.
