Chapter 114 – Throwing himself into the Sea of Wrath
Someone was watching him.
Fan Xian knew that this was his own illusion, just like the last time he was outside the capital of Northern Qi, on the Western Mountain wall, he always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching him from the mountains behind him – this was probably the natural reaction of a person facing a difficult and desperate situation and experiencing an emotional shock, especially for a materialist like Fan Xian.
A year ago, when he was traveling back to Tanyu to visit his relatives on a white sailboat, he had passed by the Great Eastern Mountain, which looked as if it had been split open by a sword of the God of Heaven, and at that time, looking at the smooth jade wall on the Eastern Mountain, he had once thought to himself mockingly that he wouldn’t be required to climb this mountain one day, would he?
It had not occurred to him that all of this had actually come true.
Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing, with the sky above, could it be that God had really been watching over him?
The Great Eastern Mountain was even more dangerous and slippery and higher than the Western Mountain Jade, and Fan Xian’s body had begun to tremble by the time he traveled this far to the ground, and the depletion of his internal energy had begun to affect his muscles.
He stuck to the stone wall as supplely as possible like a bat, his fingers digging into one of the rare cracks he encountered to rest a little. Looking up at this point, the lights at the top of the mountain had long been out of sight, and glancing back, he could already see the ink-like sea water that was getting closer and closer, as well as a few troopships swinging in the water.
Is the Jiaozhou sailor ship, they are here to escort, for the back of the mountain a rebel raid although not play too much of a role, but it is clear that they can sail away from this place, notify the local government.
However, from the development of events until now, the sailors’ ships had not moved from the place, and although Fan Xian had not discussed the matter with the emperor, it was clear to the two of them that something had naturally gone wrong with the Qin family as well.
The moon came out in a corner, and Fan Xian didn’t panic about moving, pressing his face against the cold stone wall, feeling the silky cool air, but a question came to his mind. If the Qin family is also counted …… really is that all of this all of the power under the sky is concentrated and involved in the action of the Great Eastern Mountain, it is no wonder that His Majesty would not expect it.
What kind of realm is it for a single person to be able to induce all the enemies under the sky to put aside their temporary differences and closely unite? This was the realm of Emperor Qing.
Although Northern Qi did not make a move, Yan Xiaoyi’s 5,000 soldiers were able to come under the Great Eastern Mountain, obviously the Eldest Princess and Uesugi Tiger had extremely secretive arrangements on their side. Fan Xian rubbed his face against the cold stone, thinking to himself, would Haitang know about such a big event?
Then he breathed softly a few times – in fact, this dangerous situation at the moment, after counting, it was all forged by Chen Pingping, the old cripple who had spent several years, and he himself had mixed in a few hands. Whether it is the Princess Qin family Ye family, are the old cripple and their own extremely intentional expulsion to the opposite side of the emperor can not be two opposites.
Chen Pingping, if she knew that things were developing in this way, would she feel, like herself on the cliff, that things in the human world were really marvelous?
The wind on the cliff was very strong, the adsorption between his hand and the smooth stone surface was strong, the domineering true qi in his body gently tensed along the thick meridians to prevent the phenomenon of unsustainable internal energy, those gentle natural breaths from the Heavenly Dao were slowly repairing the instability in the meridians.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at the straight lines of the stone rock above his head through the faint moonlight, and couldn’t help but have a few fears. If he couldn’t stick to the rock wall and fell like this, and landed in the sea full of reefs and dangerous waves, he was afraid that he would be shattered to pieces.
The wind on this cliff near the sea was too strong, pouring in from his limbs, a cold. He wasn’t Five Bamboo, he didn’t have that kind of magical feats of descending straight down from a high altitude, so he stuck a little tighter.
“Why does the Emperor know that Uncle Five Bamboo is in Da Dong Mountain?” A question that he hadn’t had the chance to ask surged into Fan Xian’s mind. It seems that the emperor is only afraid that he secretly has some connection with the temple, but the unnatural death of the Great Sacrifice last year …… makes these things somewhat unclear.
The clouds covered the moon once again, and Fan Xian began to move down the cliff again. He didn’t know how long he had been sliding, and the closer he got to the basin of ink-like seawater, the more vigilant he became, bringing his power to its peak state, always ready for unknown dangers.
The closer he got to the sea, the easier it would be for the rebels on the sailor’s ship to spot him, and the closer he got to the sea, the closer he got to the small boat on the sea.
The rebels on the sailor ship might not be able to see the slowly crawling dots on the cliff in this pitch black night, but Ye Liuyun might be able to spot himself.
His palms pressed closely to the smooth cliff, and suddenly his pupils shrunk slightly, sensing a mournful killing aura behind him!
Who could have such eyesight to discover himself?
Fan Xian didn’t have time to think at all, subconsciously cutting off his true qi along the Great Circumference of Heaven forcefully, the bonding of true qi between his palms and the stone wall suddenly failed, and his entire being slid straight downwards.
Duh! A black and ghostly arrow feather hit the place where he was originally crouching, and the head of the metal tuft dug deep into the stone wall of Dadong Mountain, stirring up dozens of grains of rubble.
If Fan Xian had reacted a little slower, he would have been nailed to the stone wall by this heavenly arrow. And at this moment, he was still in danger, his entire body sliding smoothly and rapidly down the stone wall.
Fan Xian let out a muffled grunt, and the flow of true qi that had just been cut off was once again forced to the extreme, his palms gently slapping against the stone wall, barely stabilizing his form.
Whoosh! The second black arrow, ruthlessly shot at the stone wall under his feet, only half an inch away from his heel.
The situation was really dangerous, the person who sent the arrow obviously had an advance and calculated the speed at which Fan Xian would fall, if Fan Xian had intended to fall naturally earlier to avoid this sudden onslaught of arrows, he would have been hard pressed to escape this doom.
Fan Xian’s back was in a cold sweat, his right palm shook, even half of his body shook out of the wall, drew a semi-circle in the air, and then stuck back to the stone wall, only to change to facing the sea, and it was too late to think, and he purely subconsciously slid down the stone wall by three feet, and then his right palm was slapped again, and his body was oddly curved, and he twisted downwards… …
And inside a soldier ship on the sea, a dozen black arrow feathers coldly and mercilessly shot towards him, grazing his body, piercing through his clothes, and ruthlessly piercing into the stone wall.
Duh! Duh! Duh! Duh!
Fan Xian dodged tenaciously and dangerously against the stone wall, subconsciously dodging these godlike arrows purely by virtue of the unceasing honing he had done in the twenty years since he was reborn and the foundation laid down by the Five Bamboos in his childhood.
The scene was dangerous, those black arrows were fired in a chain, not giving him any time to react at all, and they seemed to have a clear calculation of his next landing point, forcing him to possibly fall off the cliff at any time.
And yet, amazingly enough, Fan Xian made a prediction in advance every time in the moments before he seemed to be hit by these black arrows, the true qi in his body running strongly along the two circumferences, replenishing the loss of his true qi, so that he could just barely make sure that one of his two palms would always stay on the stone wall.
Every time he looked about to fall, the one palm that was attached to the stone wall drove him, twisting his body to bounce up and down, seemingly never leaving the gravitational pull of the stone wall.
He was like a puppet made of black material, his limbs being pulled by the mysterious power in the stone wall of Dadong Mountain, doing a stiff and comical dance on the cliff.
While those black arrows that followed his body closely arrived, they strongly grazed his body and shot into the stone rock, forming several scribbled lines on the stone wall, with the front end of the lines chasing after him with a murderous aura, which might nail this puppet at any time, killing him with a random arrow through his heart.
The sailor’s troop ships did not dare to get too close because they were worried about the reefs at the foot of Dadong Mountain. There was only one strong person in the entire world who could shoot arrows into the stone wall from such a distance, and only that person could still spot Fan Xian lurking on the stone wall in such a dark night.
Yan Xiaoyi, the Grand Governor of the Qing Army’s conquest of the North.
I don’t know how long it had been. The black arrows on the sea stopped, there was no trace of Fan Xian on the cliffs, and the sea below the cliffs reverted to silence, with only the sound of waves lapping at the shore being heard-Fan Xian finally managed to evade the chain of divine arrows and landed on top of the reef!
Thorn! The last black arrow seemed to have missed its target, and it ruthlessly pierced into the stone wall, entering the stone by more than an inch, the arrow’s tail trembling constantly, emitting a buzzing sound.
A few threads of black cloth were carried on the shaft.
The sound of the waves above the reef shook the sky. Fan Xian half-kneeled on the slippery reef and coughed uncontrollably. Fortunately, the sailor’s ships were too far apart, and the loudness of the waves lapping the rocks was too loud to muffle his series of coughs, and in the darkness of the night, he didn’t expose himself.
His face was pale, climbing down such a human stopping wall, and on top of the wall to avoid Yan Xiaoyi’s godly chain of life-threatening arrows, had already drained too much of his true qi and spirit, the last section of the puppet dance on the cliff, seemed to be dodging with ease, but it was already the display of the highest realm of his life, every second, every moment of his nerves were taut, at the impossible place to avoid the past, the speed of conversion of the body’s true qi release was too fast, the frequency was too high. Too fast, the frequency is too high, even with such a strong meridian width in his body, but also some can’t stand it ……
When the true qi reversed back, it hurt one of the meridians under his diaphragm, making him cough and tearing pain in his chest.
Compared to this, the miserable wound on his right shoulder at this moment did not make him care too much, although this wound was strangled by the sharp arrow clusters, the tendons and flesh bloomed, blood flowed horizontally, even the black secret official clothes of the Supervisory Yuan were strangled and mixed into the wound, very painful, but after all, it did not hurt the vitals.
At this time it was dark night, unfavorable to Yan Xiaoyi, but Fan Xian was on the cliff, even more at a disadvantage, so this sniping and fleeing was unfair, Fan Xian, no matter how tough he was, he still didn’t escape that last arrow after all.
But how many people could be able to save their lives from Yan Xiaoyi’s chain of arrows under such treacherous conditions?
Fan Xian crouched his body extremely low, and the seawater dampened his clothes, making the black garment permeated with water, perfectly merging with the reefs that were often soaked in seawater.
Fan Xian is not worried about whether Yan Xiaoyi s arrows will be quenched with poison, on the one hand, he knows that Yan Xiaoyi this person is high minded and proud, and has always disdained the use of poison, and on the second …… hand, he fumbled for a pill from his pocket and chewed it twice dryly, and mixed it with his saliva and swallowed it, and in the area of poison, there are not a few people who are better than him.
The situation on the coastline was still tense, the ship couldn’t get close to the cliffs, but I’m sure the eagle-like eyes on the ship were staring at all the movements under the cliffs, making sure to snipe Fan Xian before he landed.
Fan Xian squinted his eyes, observing his surroundings, the moon in the sky was not bright, but the waves were getting bigger and bigger, on the one hand protecting him, but on the other hand making it difficult for him to find a safe path, at this moment, if he were to perform light kung fu to fly and swipe from the reef, it would be like giving Yan Xiaoyi another opportunity to kill himself at point-blank range.
Fan Xian disliked the feeling of being targeted by a bow and arrow without being able to counterattack, especially by Yan Xiaoyi’s bow and arrow.
Suddenly, a flash of alarm flashed in his mind, and with a muffled grunt, he slapped his right palm on the reef beside him, overbearing true qi surging out with an extremely violent force, shattering the corner of the reef beneath him, while his body drew a diagonal arc along with this powerful reaction force, falling into the sea with the fastest speed possible!
As soon as the splash appeared, it was immediately engulfed by the growing waves, a white wave under the cliff, seemingly incomparably furious that someone dared to belittle their own might and plunge into a sea full of reefs.
This time Fan Xian revealed his trail, and although he sank into the sea, he could not escape the tracking of those eagle-like eyes. But he must jump into the sea, he must leave that reef which had temporarily protected his safety with the greatest speed and determination, even though the ocean was so angry at the moment, he must still throw himself into oblivion.
Because he would rather face the angry sea, would rather be stared to death by Yan Xiaoyi’s arrows in the sea, than stand on the reef and face that trembling in his heart.
A line swept in from the sea.
It was a white line.
The waves were so big, but the white line seemed to have a power beyond heaven and earth, not disturbed by the waves, but instead drew silently and clearly towards the Great Eastern Mountain’s wall, like a heavenly god’s hand holding a magical pen, drawing a line in this ink-like angry seawater.
The white line was actually just a wave of water breaking, and an ancient sword that was sweeping swiftly two feet above the line.
The moment Fan Xian rolled over and left the reef, the white line would also touch the reef, and the ancient sword and his body met in a flash of lightning, and then separated – no one knew if they touched or not.
The reef was in chaos, and before the sword’s momentum arrived, the sword’s intent penetrated through his body, splitting the wet black reef where Fan Xian had previously landed with ease.
In front of this sword, the reef was like black tofu.
The sword then swept through the waves and air, piercing into the smooth stone wall of Dadong Mountain. The stone wall was so hard, but the sword’s hilt was completely pierced in, leaving only that last hilt, like a small dot.
A moment later, the hilt shattered, the dot disappeared, and the sword became one with the stone wall of Da Dong Mountain, never to be separated again.
