Chapter 501
Chapter 501
The moonlight sprinkled like water among the ancient pines on the top of Mount Tai. Ren Xiaoyao stood on a huge rock, his clothes fluttering, like an immortal who was isolated from the world. His eyes were deep, staring at the rolling sea of clouds in the distance, but his heart was calm. Tonight, he will face the most powerful enemy in his life - the Five Poisons Sect Leader, a terrifying existence that is rumored to be able to control all poisons in the world.
"Ren Xiaoyao, you're finally here." A cold voice came from the darkness, and the Five Poison Sect Leader slowly walked out, wearing a bronze mask and a black robe, and seemed to be emitting a suffocating poisonous gas. "Do you know that tonight is the day you die?"
Ren Xiaoyao smiled slightly, unmoved, "Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by heaven. I, Ren Xiaoyao, have been a chivalrous man all my life, so why should I fear death?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Five Poisons Sect Leader suddenly attacked, and his hands turned into thousands of poisonous snakes, rushing towards Ren Xiaoyao. Ren Xiaoyao's body swayed, like catkins in the wind, and he dodged lightly, unsheathing the long sword in his hand, and the sword light was like a dragon, going straight to the Five Poisons Sect Leader's heart.
A fierce battle unfolds under the moonlight, with sword shadows and poisonous fog interweaving, and every move and every style contains a life-and-death contest. Ren Xiaoyao's swordsmanship is exquisite, and every swing of the sword can dissolve the poison attack of the Five Poisons Sect Leader, but the opponent's poison technique is weird and unpredictable, so he dare not be careless.
The battle became fierce, and the Five Poison Sect Leader showed a ferocious smile, "Ren Xiaoyao, you are indeed a master, but it is a pity that today is the end of your fame."
A trace of determination flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes. He knew that only by going all out could he have a chance of survival. He took a deep breath, and the Qi in his body circulated to the extreme. A dazzling light condensed on the long sword. This was the unique skill he had learned throughout his life - "Xiaoyao Sword Technique".
"Go, light of dawn!" With a low shout, the sword light cut through the night sky, like the rising sun, illuminating the entire peak of Mount Tai. The Five Poisons Sect Leader was shocked by the sudden strong light and paused. At this moment, the tip of Ren Xiaoyao's sword was against his throat.
"You lose." Ren Xiaoyao said lightly, the tip of the sword trembling slightly, and the face of the Five Poisons Leader under the mask turned ashen.
“How is this possible? I, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, have been roaming the martial arts world for decades and have never been defeated. Yet today I fall into your hands!” The leader of the Five Poisons Sect roared in disbelief.
“The world is dangerous, and victory and defeat are common in the military. If you can lay down your butcher knife, you may still have a chance to reform yourself.” Ren Xiaoyao sheathed his sword, turned to look at the sun that was about to rise in the east, his heart filled with peace.
The Five Poisons Sect Leader was silent for a long time, and finally took off his mask, revealing an old and tired face. "You are right, I am tired, and it is time to end it."
The two looked at each other, Ren Xiaoyao nodded, turned and left, leaving the Five Poisons Sect Leader standing there, looking at his back getting farther and farther away, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Ren Xiaoyao, thank you for giving me a chance to start over." The Five Poisons Sect Leader murmured in a low voice, and his voice dissipated with the wind, as if all the grudges and hatreds had disappeared at this moment.
Ren Xiaoyao did not look back, but his steps became more determined. He knew that the road ahead was still long, but as long as he had justice in his heart, he would have nothing to fear.
The moonlight is like water, sprinkled in the deep forest of Miaojiang. The ancient trees are like silent giants, guarding this mysterious land. In this forest caressed by the moonlight, a figure quietly walks through. He is Ren Xiaoyao, known as "Xiaoyao Sword" in the world. His sword, like his name, has a kind of freedom beyond the world, and contains a power that cannot be underestimated.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and the leaves rustled. It seemed that something unusual was about to happen. Ren Xiaoyao stopped, and his intuition told him that danger was approaching. "Who is spying in the dark? Why don't you come out and talk?" He asked loudly, and his voice echoed in the silent forest, but no one answered.
At this moment, several dark figures suddenly appeared in the shadows of the trees around them. They were holding strange weapons and were obviously masters of the Five Poison Sect. Ren Xiaoyao frowned slightly. He knew that the Five Poison Sect had always been his enemy. If they met today, it would probably not end well.
"Ren Xiaoyao, you have trespassed into the territory of my Five Poisons Sect. Today is the day you die!" The leading man in black sneered, with a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes.
Ren Xiaoyao sneered, he drew out his sword, tapped the ground with the tip of the sword, and rushed towards the enemy like an arrow. The sword flashed like a dragon, shuttling between the enemies, and every swing of the sword was accompanied by the enemy's screams. But the people of the Five Poison Sect were not simple either. They used various poison techniques, making the air filled with a suffocating atmosphere.
The battle intensified. Although Ren Xiaoyao was a skilled martial artist, he gradually felt the pressure. He took a deep breath and decided to use his ultimate move. "Xiaoyao sword technique, break through the air!" With a low shout, the sword light was like a rainbow, soaring into the sky, and then turned into a dazzling meteor, smashing towards the place where the enemy was most concentrated.
The masters of the Five Poison Sect were terrified and retreated, but it was too late. There was a loud bang, dust flew up, and when everything returned to calm, the men in black had fallen down, while Ren Xiaoyao stood there, the tip of his sword trembling slightly, as if everything just now was just a dream.
"Ren has no intention of being an enemy of the Five Poisons Sect. I am just passing by here. I hope you will take care of yourselves." After saying that, Ren Xiaoyao turned and left, disappearing into the night, leaving behind a mess and the horror of everyone in the Five Poisons Sect.
"This man's martial arts are so powerful, he will definitely be a big threat in the future. We..." A disciple of the Five Poisons Sect said in a trembling voice.
"Forget it. The reason we lost today is that our Five Poison Sect underestimated him. Let's go back and report to the leader. From now on, the Five Poison Sect and Ren Xiaoyao will fight to the death!" The leader gritted his teeth, with the flame of revenge flashing in his eyes.
But at this moment, Ren Xiaoyao has long gone away. He knows in his heart that the road of martial arts is full of unknowns and challenges, but he has never regretted it, because he is Ren Xiaoyao, a knight who is as free as the wind and points his sword at the world.
The moonlight falls like water on the ancient and mysterious Miaojiang land. An ancient temple hidden in the deep forest stands quietly. The traces of time have carved countless stories on its mottled walls. At this moment, the ancient temple welcomes an uninvited guest - Ren Xiaoyao, a famous knight in the world. He holds a long sword, wears a green shirt, and has a bit of vigilance and curiosity in his eyes. He slowly walks into this unknown land.
"The legendary ancient temple in Miaojiang hides the lost secret book of the Five Poison Sect. I don't know whether it is true or not." Ren Xiaoyao whispered to himself, his footsteps echoing in the silent night sky, and every step broke the silence of the ancient temple.
In the ancient temple, under the dim lights, several ancient Buddha statues were silent, and the air was filled with a faint scent of incense, but mixed with a hint of danger that was not easily detected. Suddenly, a slight noise broke the silence, and Ren Xiaoyao stopped vigilantly, and the long sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed, with the tip of the sword pointing in the direction of the sound.
"Who are you, sage? Why are you visiting me so late at night? Is there anything you want?" A low and hoarse voice came from the darkness. Along with the voice, several figures slowly emerged. They were dressed in strange costumes and held various weapons in their hands. They were obviously disciples of the Five Poison Sect.
Ren Xiaoyao smiled slightly, his eyes were sharp, "I am just a traveler passing by. I heard that there is a rare book hidden here, so I came to check it out."
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Five Poison Sect looked at each other, and one of them sneered, "Outsider, this is not the place for you to come. If you know what's best for you, you'd better leave quickly."
Ren Xiaoyao smiled calmly. He did not move, but he had already exuded an invisible aura, which made the Five Poison Sect disciples present feel nervous. "Since I am here, I will not leave easily."
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense, and the air seemed to be filled with gunpowder. The Five Poison Sect disciples exchanged glances, then scattered and surrounded Ren Xiaoyao. However, at this moment, Ren Xiaoyao moved, and his figure shuttled among the Five Poison Sect disciples like a ghost. Every time the sword flashed, a disciple fell down, but there was no trace of blood. It was obvious that they were controlled by his superb sword skills and lost their fighting ability.
The battle lasted for a moment. When the last trace of sword light dissipated, Ren Xiaoyao stood steadily in place, without any injuries on his body, while the disciples of the Five Poison Sect fell to the ground one after another. The only remaining elder looked pale, his eyes full of horror.
"Your Excellency is a master of martial arts. Today, our Five Poison Sect has witnessed your great skill." The elder took a deep breath and forced a smile. "I can tell you about the secret book, but I hope you can let us go."
Ren Xiaoyao sheathed his sword and nodded gently, "I have no intention of becoming an enemy of the Five Poison Sect. As long as you have the secret book, I will definitely repay you one day."
Upon hearing this, the elder quickly took out a yellowed ancient book from his bosom and handed it over respectfully, "This is the Five Poisons Sutra of our sect. I hope you will make good use of it."
After receiving the secret book, Ren Xiaoyao nodded slightly, turned around and was about to leave, but stopped and turned back to the elder and said, "There are many rare and precious animals in Miaojiang. I hope you will not use poison to harm people again, otherwise, there will be public criticism in the martial arts world."
After saying that, Ren Xiaoyao's figure disappeared into the night, leaving behind only a string of melodious sword chants that echoed in the empty ancient temple for a long time.
"This knight is truly extraordinary." The elder looked at the direction where Ren Xiaoyao left, and couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart, "Perhaps, the martial arts world really needs such people to uphold justice."
Ren Xiaoyao's back gradually walked away. Under the moonlight, his outline appeared more upright, as if he was declaring to the world that no matter how the world changes, justice and courage will always be the unchanging beliefs in the hearts of knights.
The moonlight sprinkled like water in the dense forest of Miaojiang. The night wind blew gently, and the leaves rustled, as if it was the whisper of an ancient forest. In this land full of mystery and danger, Ren Xiaoyao walked alone, his footsteps were light, and every step was made in the place where it was least likely to make a sound. He was wearing a green shirt, with a sword on his waist, and there was an extraordinary aura between his eyebrows. He was the "Xiaoyao Swordsman" rumored in the world.
Suddenly, a strange flute sound came from a distance, piercing through the night like a ghost, making people panic. Ren Xiaoyao stopped and listened attentively. He knew that this was a unique signal from the Five Poison Sect, and thought to himself: "It seems that there will be a fierce battle today."
As the sound of the flute got closer, the surrounding grass began to tremble slightly, as if countless eyes were watching from the dark. Ren Xiaoyao drew out his long sword, the tip of the sword pointed diagonally at the ground, and the sword reflected a cold light. "Come out, masters of the Five Poison Sect, I have been waiting for you here for a long time." His voice was not loud, but it could be heard far away in the quiet night.
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of men in black suddenly appeared from all directions, holding all kinds of strange weapons, with bloodthirsty light flashing in their eyes. The leader was a sturdy figure holding a snake staff, and it was the guardian of the Five Poison Sect, the Poison Scorpion.
"Ren Xiaoyao, you have trespassed into the territory of my Five Poison Sect. Don't you know whether you live or die?" The Poison Scorpion's voice was as cold as a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
Ren Xiaoyao raised his lips to sneer, "I, Ren Xiaoyao, have always traveled the world with only the sword in my hand, why should I be afraid of the Five Poison Sect?"
Before he finished speaking, the two sides were already on the verge of a fight. The poisonous scorpion took the lead, and the snake staff was like a spirit snake coming out of a cave, going straight for Ren Xiaoyao's throat. Ren Xiaoyao's body shook, easily avoiding it, and the long sword in his hand counterattacked like a swimming dragon, the sword light flashed, and the air was filled with the confrontation of sword energy and poison gas.
The battle intensified, and the Five Poison Sect's offensive was like a tide, one wave after another, but Ren Xiaoyao's swordsmanship was superb, and every move was accurate and correct, defusing the enemy's attacks one by one. Just when the two sides were deadlocked, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly found a flash of panic in the eyes of the poisonous scorpion, and he knew that his chance had come.
He accelerated suddenly, like a flash of lightning that cut through the night sky, and rushed directly towards the poisonous scorpion. The poisonous scorpion was horrified and hurriedly waved his staff to block, but Ren Xiaoyao's swordsmanship had already exceeded his imagination. With a "clang" sound, the snake staff broke, and then a sword cut the poisonous scorpion's throat, and the poisonous scorpion fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the morale of the Five Poison Sect members suddenly dropped, and they all retreated. Ren Xiaoyao stood still, blood dripping from the tip of his sword, his eyes as sharp as a torch, "I tell you, Master, if you dare to set foot in the Central Plains martial arts world again, I will show no mercy!"
