Chapter 420.
The guard was naturally a martial artist, and his knives were hard and fast.
But it depended on who his opponent was.
If it was an ordinary person, this might still be a sneak attack that wasn’t too bad.
But facing Jiang Ran …… it was a suicide attack.
Jiang Ran stretched out two fingers and pinched this blade between them, looking up at the door of the room not far away.
Bai Lu inside the door, after reacting for a short while, also began to fiercely slap the door.
Jiang Ran said to the guard after thinking for a moment:
“Open the door.”
Saying that, he shook his hand and a strong force came, and the guard involuntarily fell towards the door.
But when he struggled to get up, he didn’t follow Jiang Ran’s orders and didn’t seem to recognize the gap in martial arts.
He even made another violent impact towards Jiang Ran.
It was as if Jiang Ran had some kind of undying hatred with him.
Jiang Ran wanted to transform into the Bean in the Shao Zun Building for a moment, and he resisted the urge to scratch his head as he flung his sleeve, directly lifting this person out of the air.
Immediately followed by flexing his fingers and pointing in the air, the man was instantly unable to move.
However, the ferocity in his eyes had not faded.
Ye Jingxue couldn’t even help but give Jiang Ran a strange look when she saw this:
“…… Husband, do you recognize him?”
Even if he had changed his disguise to the present, the two words ‘husband’, Ye Jingxue called were all extremely difficult, far from as easy as Ye Jingshuang.
Jiang Ran gently shook his head:
“Never seen.”
“Looking at his appearance, it seems like he has some deep hatred with you.”
Ye Shocking Frost was also a bit surprised:
“No, he doesn’t just look at you with such indignation, the way he looks at us is the same as looking at you.
“This person ……”
Speaking here, Ye Shockfrost’s words suddenly gave a slight start, just raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran was also pondering for a moment.
After pondering, he flexed his fingers and then tapped above his brow.
Positive Heart Finger.
If the heart is corrected and the mind is concentrated, external evils will not invade.
The hatred in the guard’s eyes immediately began to disintegrate, replaced by a look of extreme pain.
Jiang Ran’s mind moved and took his wrist.
Gently shaking his head:
“It’s hopeless, his body is in disarray, his meridians are broken in all directions.
“Fang’s sanity was in a state of insanity, so he could not suffer from the injuries in his body……. Now, once he returns to normal, it will be the time for his body to die.”
As Jiang Ran’s words came to an end, the guard was already bleeding from his seven orifices and died on the spot.
This scene only made Bai Zimu and Ah Wen look dumbfounded.
A good-for-nothing person had inexplicably died.
But at this time, it is not the time to be concerned about this dead person, Bai Zimu has rushed to the front of the door, reaching out to turn the door open, however, no matter how hard he tries, the door is also not moving.
He had no choice but to turn back and ask for help from Ah Wen.
After all, the two little brothers are most familiar with each other.
Ah Wen also did not hesitate, rushed to the front, put all his strength, want to open the door.
However, even as the wind rolled around him, his force was utilized to the extreme.
Even Bai Zimu was pushed away by this strong wind …… This door is not moving.
After all, this internal force of Ah Wen was not cultivated by himself.
Up until now, he wouldn’t really be able to utilize it either.
Now in a hurry, he only cared about the explosion, and after using it to the extreme, he even sprayed out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person flew backwards.
Seeing that he was about to fall on the ground, it was Luo Qingyi who was quick to catch him.
“Many …… thanks to big brother Luo.”
Ah Wen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth:
“This door …… this door I can’t open.”
Jiang Ran did not know when he had also come to the door, reached out and gently knocked on the door, laughing:
“Cast in steel, it’s sturdy.
“Although your inner strength is good, but you can’t use it at all, so you really can’t open it.
“Young Lady Qiu, you step back a little.
“Be careful that there may be another mechanism in the room.”
“Good.”
Bai Lu agreed.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, had already stepped back and said to Tian Miaomiao:
“Come, remove this door.”
As soon as Tian Miaomiao heard this, her entire body’s eyes glowed.
It had been a long time since she had a chance to show off her skills.
It wasn’t that Jiang Ran didn’t give her a chance, it was really because there were too many capable people around her.
Now that it was finally her turn to show off her skills, she was so excited that she almost didn’t fall straight to the ground.
Smoothly came to the room before the door, she reached out and touched, looking for two suitable places to grip.
Just as she was about to exert force, she heard Jiang Ran say:
“Barbarian Dragon Strength.”
“Oh.”
Tian Miaomiao instantly agreed, running the Barbarian Dragon Strength that Jiang Ran had imparted to her.
This kung fu was not an internal martial art, but a method of generating power.
Immediately, her five fingers clasped together, only to hear a creaking sound, and the place she was holding, directly twisted and deformed.
Immediately followed by a pick outward, clicked, all without realizing the effort.
The whole door has been taken off.
A slightly worried look appeared on Bai Lu’s face.
On the contrary, Tian Miaomiao looked at the door in her hand, a little confused:
“It’s not that hard ah ……”
Said, looked to Ah Wen, as if in a strange, why such a, casually can take off the door, you even tossed so vigorously ……
Ah Wen, on the other hand, could not help but be staggered.
This silly sister, actually so powerful?
This morning also saw her squatting under the roots of the tree to count ants, Ah Wen also silently pitied her for a moment, it turned out to be a fool.
I didn’t realize that this fool was so tough.
That little arm and leg, where did it get such great explosive power?
Bai Lu, on the other hand, hurriedly held the child and came out from the house, thanking Jiang Ran for his helping hand.
But her face was a bit distracted.
Jiang Ran also smiled:
“Strange, what’s wrong with the people of the Autumn Clan?
“The young lady returned home late at night, and not only did she not receive a proper reception, she also sent the young lady to be trapped in this organ room.
“Even if the second house has great ability, it wouldn’t dare to do this directly in the Autumn Family, would it?
“If the head of the Autumn Family doesn’t even care about this, then it would be better to directly pass the position of family head to the second house is.”
Bai Lu was momentarily dumbfounded and said after thinking for a moment:
“After I came back this evening, I felt that the atmosphere in this mansion was very different from previous days.
“Now this encounter is also an indication of that.
“Eunuch Jiang …… now I’m already in six minds and don’t know what to do.”
“Well …… I originally followed you to the Autumn Family, but it was only to beat the autumn wind, but now it seems that this Autumn Family is indeed a bit odd.”
Jiang Ran said:
“Why don’t you first take us back to your and the Grand Duke’s residence to take a look, Young Lady?”
“Good.”
Bai Lu nodded immediately.
The party was that she hadn’t returned home for a long time and didn’t know if the Grand Duke had things to do and hadn’t returned to the courtyard, which was why she had followed the guard here.
Now that the guard had lied and had died inexplicably, it was only natural that she should return to her own courtyard first to check on the Grand Duke’s whereabouts.
Immediately, the crowd was led by Bai Lu through the mansion of this Autumn Clan land.
Only just after taking not more than two steps, a burst of footsteps came from all directions.
Under the night, in the shadows, a single silhouette presented itself.
As soon as Bai Lu’s eyes lifted, she could see that these were the people of the Autumn Clan.
Only, at this moment, their eyes were all but unlike the appearance of normal people.
They were fierce, indignant, and carried endless malice.
Everyone had knives in their hands, their blades cold and flashing with killing intent.
“Their eyes are exactly the same as that guard from just now.”
Ye Jingxue said softly:
“It seems like there is someone that has affected their sanity.”
This scene looked somewhat fantastical, yet there were simply too many people in the Jianghu who could do this.
What truly called for astonishment was that the Qiu Clan, being one of the four great clans of the Qing Kingdom, with deep roots and high level of martial arts, would also be struck.
This would be very strange.
Just as questions flooded the hearts of the crowd, they heard a buzzing sound.
Someone had already taken the lead.
With a twist of the blade, he killed directly into the crowd.
However, a bang was heard, and how that person came was how he was sent flying out.
This sound, however, was a horn.
These people gathered around them, they all shot out, and their blades with endless killing intent chopped towards Jiang Ran and the others.
Jiang Ran said softly after a brief thought in his mind:
“They’re delirious and seem to be tainted by blade intent.
“It doesn’t make the slightest bit of sense to tangle with them, Young Lady Qiu, point to a direction and we’ll just rush over.”
“Good.”
Bai Lumian was even more confused at the scene in front of her.
The Autumn Clan was not an unusual place, so how could it be possible that somehow the entire family had been hit.
This kind of thing was really hard to understand.
Even if she came back and saw the corpses all over the place, the Autumn Clan had been wiped out, it was better than this group of people had all turned into unrecognizable maniacs.
Immediately, she didn’t dare to be slow, and hurriedly pointed out the path.
Jiang Ran didn’t lead the charge this time, but let Luo Qingyi walk at the front.
He had the Star Picking Hand, which was invulnerable to swords and spears, and invulnerable to fire and water.
Although these people’s swordsmanship was quite exquisite, Luo Qingyi’s Elephant God Fist was also extraordinary.
Where the wind of the fist fell, there was almost no enemy.
A group of people went on like this, and soon came to another compound under Bai Lu’s guidance.
Just looks, this compound is not how opulent, completely does not conform to the identity of the Grand Duke.
And after arriving at this place, the group of people behind them were actually still pursuing.
Their eyes were already filled with scarlet at some point.
Initially when Jiang Ran and the others arrived, this group of people were still no different from normal people, able to move, speak, and communicate …… But now they were more like beasts in human skin.
Although Jiang Ran was surprised by this, he didn’t have the time to study it in detail.
Pushing open the gate of the courtyard, the group of people entered in a line.
A few guards beside Bai Lu were allowed to hold the gate.
Bai Lu led Jiang Ran all the way to her and the Grand Duke’s residence.
Pushing open the door, the room was as empty as expected.
Jiang Ran reached out and gently wiped his hand on the table, following which he asked Bai Lu:
“How long did it take you to return to your hometown to save your family?”
“Just about half a month.”
Bai Lu answered truthfully.
Jiang Ran nodded:
“It’s also been at least ten days since anyone came in to clean this room.
“It looks like the Grand Duke has not returned here since you left ……
“So, you’ve been chased all the way back here, but you’ve never seen the Grand Duke’s rescue.
“If the guess is right, he is only afraid that something has happened to him.”
The blood color on Bai Lu’s face immediately faded:
“How could this be so ……”
“Moreover, this might not just be because of the second house.”
Jiang Ran looked towards the door, those Autumn Clan members with knives seemed to have completely lost their minds.
They could obviously use their lightness to jump over the wall and come in to kill, but it was as if they had forgotten that they could also use lightness.
Just using all their strength, they kept pushing the door there.
Bai Lu’s guards, on the other hand, used all their strength to push against the door.
Both of them were competing, and the door was in a precarious position for a while.
Bai Lu’s face was somewhat desperate:
“What the hell is going on here?
“Just what kind of person did this?”
Jiang Ran actually had an answer in his heart.
Earlier, when that guard had struck, Jiang Ran hadn’t paid much attention to it, but later, when he was being tailed and chased by this group of people all the way, Jiang Ran carefully watched the blade techniques they used.
Then he realized that the blade technique they performed carried a heavy shadow of the Phi Xing Heavenly Demon Slash within it.
Although Jiang Ran didn’t know exactly how it was done.
However, the Phi Xing Tian Demon Slash was the best martial art of the Demon Cult’s Asking Heart Zhai.
The martial arts in the Questioning Heart Lodge, had this extremely crucial effect on the mind and spirit, originally.
In this way, there was an explanation for the gang’s total lack of sanity.
That was why he was unwilling to make a move against this gang from the start.
The Autumn Clan had joined the others in besieging Tang Tianyuan and the others, and this fight might just be the Questioning Mind Zhai Sect’s retaliation against them.
There might be some other reason among them.
Wouldn’t he be spoiling his side’s machinations if he made a hasty move?
He stroked his chin and was thinking about what he should say to continue guiding Bai Lu forward to see if there were still fish in the net of this Autumn Clan.
Just then, he heard a Buddhist cry suddenly explode into the night sky.
“Amitabha Buddha!”
These four words were quite uncomplicated.
When the first word was spoken, it was like thunder in the sky, causing people’s ear drums to ache.
When the second word was said, it made one’s mind swell, but the sound was as if it wasn’t as loud as the first word.
And when the third word was said, the sound was already weak and inaudible.
Yet it made all those who heard it sweep away the gloom and clear their eyes.
When the last word ‘Buddha’ fell, there was already no sound at all in the ears.
This ‘Buddha’ word was flooding everyone’s heart.
In an instant, the gods were clear, dignified and peaceful.
The look of impatience on Bai Lu’s face was instantly swept away, and she just couldn’t help but frown slightly as she gazed up:
“The Great Brahma Zen Voice ……
“It’s someone from the Great Brahma Zen Academy.”
Jiang Ran’s eyes narrowed slightly.
When this Great Brahma Zen Sound sounded just now, the internal energy in that one hidden meridian in his body abruptly had the appearance of going haywire.
In this meridian, there was the Nirvana Great Dan, as well as the internal force of the Great Selfless Heavenly Demon Ten Thousand Thoughts Skill.
With a single meridian, one could compete with one’s own Creation Positive Heart Sutra, which was on the verge of completion.
However, he did not expect that he would be moved by this Great Brahma Zen Sound.
However, it was only moved for a moment.
After that, calmness was restored.
There was another turn of the Creation Positive Heart Sutra, not being compelled by this Brahma sound.
On the contrary, those people outside who had been rushing around suddenly stopped under the shroud of this Brahma sound.
Some let out hisses of pain, while others died violently on the spot.
It was as if Jiang Ran had used the Righteous Heart Finger to point at that guard, and as a result, he had bled to death from his seven orifices.
Just then, the sound of a figure breaking through the air rang out.
Jiang Ran turned around and saw that there were already a few more people in the courtyard.
These people were wearing black and gold robes, rosaries around their necks, and bucket hats on their heads.
Among them, a big monk holding a Zen staff stepped forward:
“Who are those in the house?”
Jiang Ran glanced at Bai Lu, who straightened her demeanor and stepped out with folded hands:
“Greetings master, I am Bai Lu, the wife of the Autumn Clan’s first son, Bai Lu.”
“Young Lady Autumn?”
That great monk nodded after a slight stare:
“I see… …… But I don’t know which one of you is this Shi Master again?”
“Under me, Jiang Liu.”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“A person from the Ancient Kingdom of Autumn Leaves, who came to the Green Kingdom to travel. But I didn’t expect to meet Young Lady Autumn on the way ……
“Although I am in Autumn Leaf, I have long admired the name of the Autumn Clan of the Green Country, so since I have encountered it, naturally I could not help but travel with her all the way.
“Want to come to the Autumn Clan to open the eyes.
“But I didn’t expect, into the eyes, actually is such a light.
“Master, you are a senior monk of the Da Fan Zen Academy?
“Dare I ask how to address you by your Dharma name?”
“Amitabha Buddha.”
That great monk immediately put a single palm in front of him and said a Buddha’s name:
“So you are a visitor from Autumn Leaves, the poor monk is out of line.
“The poor monk’s Dharma name is Preceptor of Evil, see you, Master Jiang.”
Jiang Ran clasped his hands together and saluted as well, then asked:
“Master Preceptor Evil, if my understanding is good, where the Great Brahma Zen Academy is located, it is not close to this place.
“To say that I have come to visit, this late at night is not the way to visit.
“Yet I wonder if a few masters, do they know anything about what has happened to this Autumn Clan?”
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Precious Evil closed and said in deep thought:
“Scholar is perceptive and what he said is good.
“The poor monk does have some knowledge of what happened in this place.
“Even if the mister doesn’t ask, the poor monk will have to tell the truth. Seeing that you are so calm and collected now, it is obvious that you are by no means a generalized person, and it is precisely because you need your help to see if this Qiu Clan can still be saved?”
“Oh? Master please speak, I’m all ears.”
“This matter is a long story ……”
Preceptor Evil and yet to speak first sighed, but soon said with a straight face:
“Do you know about the Devil Sect?”
“Looking at the world, those who don’t know about this Devil Sect …… are the ones who are phoenixes, right?”
Jiang Ran’s eyes narrowed slightly:
“Master is trying to say that this matter is related to the Devil Cult? That would make sense.”
“Exactly.”
Monk Ring Evil immediately spoke eloquently, saying so and so about the fact that since some time ago, they had learned that there were people from the Devil Cult who had infiltrated the Green Country and wanted to do something untoward.
What’s more, they mentioned that they managed to survive this crisis with the help of a mysterious person.
“I thought that after this battle, each of them would return, and there would be no trouble in the jianghu.
“But I didn’t expect that just after returning to the Great Brahma Zen Academy, the poor monk learned that …… the Autumn Clan had even privately detained the people from the Devil Cult who were in that battle at that time.”
Monk Ring Evil’s face was grave:
“Devil Cult experts are the best at compelling people.
“It’s highly likely that they will bring great misfortune upon themselves by privately detaining the experts of the Devil Sect.
“Therefore, the poor monk has traveled thousands of miles to warn them that they need to get rid of the evil as soon as possible.
“But I didn’t expect that it still seems to be a step too late.
“Now the Autumn Clan may have fallen …… only afraid, the four great families, to become three.”
