The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 400: Demons are dancing in disorder, and the losses are heavy

Inside the cave, there are mottled light and shadows, and stalagmites everywhere, just like a natural underground palace. The faint blue halo shines through the cracks in the cave wall, adding a touch of mystery and tranquility to this deep space.

The palace skirt swayed and the pearls and jades gently moved.

Gu Qingchan's figure appeared in the cave, like a dazzling sapphire, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

"Qingchan." Yunyin Jianfeng Wuhen looked at Gu Qingchan with surprise, with a warm smile and a gentle expression.

He and Gu Qingchan were both geniuses of the same era, and they were both on the list of rookie geniuses. The difference was that it was Gu Qingchan's era. Even though his talent was enough to rank first among rookies under normal circumstances, he could only be suppressed by Gu Qingchan and ranked second.

Countless attempts, countless failures, the top spot on the rookie list never changed. But he was still very lucky, because looking at the rookie list, he was the one closest to Qingchan, and the only one who could barely keep up with Qingchan's progress.

In that era, Gu Qingchan was a mountain to all the geniuses of the same generation. Even for him, the same was true! At that time, he thought that he might never be able to catch up with this woman in his life.

However, things are unpredictable. Since when, Qingchan's cultivation speed suddenly slowed down. He seized the opportunity, came from behind, and was the first to break through the Yuheng Pass and achieve the position of Grandmaster.

The first thing he did after becoming a Grandmaster was to confess his feelings to Gu Qingchan and to marry her. At that time, he went to Gu's house to ask for her hand in marriage as a Grandmaster. With his demeanor at that time, he had a high probability of getting what he wanted if he was determined to marry her.

This was indeed the case. Although the Gu family was not happy about his proposal, they did not interfere and directly asked Gu Qingchan for her opinion.

At that time, he stood outside the courtyard, his heart surging, his face full of anticipation, waiting for Gu Qingchan's answer. He remembered that day very clearly, the sky was cloudless, the sun was high in the sky, it was a very good day. Perhaps it meant his bright future.

But finally.
The matter ended because Gu Qingchan said, "I don't want to."

Afterwards, he wanted to find another opportunity, but he heard the news that Gu Qingchan broke through the Yuheng Pass and entered the realm of Grandmaster.

Even a family as powerful as the Gu family would not easily let their master marry out. This matter is many times more difficult than before.

But he was never a person who gave up easily. After going through hardships, he finally took a step forward and entered the middle stage of Yuheng. In the following days, he kept trying his best to use his connections to find opportunities to make this happen. However, Gu Qingchan lived a secluded life and he didn't even have the opportunity to contact her. After a long time, he didn't make any new breakthroughs.

Over the years, he has been practicing swordsmanship diligently, and his feelings for Gu Qingchan seem to have faded a little.

But not long ago, the news that Gu Qingchan had entered the middle stage of Yuheng came, which made him excited again. After learning that Gu Qingchan was about to support the encirclement and suppression of the Ten Thousand Demons, he took the initiative to volunteer to represent the State Pacification Division to preside over the overall situation. To this end, he used a lot of connections.

Looking at the beautiful lady in the palace skirt approaching from a distance, Feng Wuhen's heart was filled with an indescribable throbbing. Even though he had practiced swordsmanship for many years, he could hardly suppress this sudden wave of throbbing.

Although he practices swordsmanship, he practices a sword with emotions! He who is extremely emotional is extremely skilled in swordsmanship!
The dreams of childhood are always unforgettable.

"Master Feng."

Compared to Feng Wuhen's surprise, Gu Qingchan's reaction was undoubtedly much calmer. She bowed and politely responded to Feng Wuhen's greeting, and kept her distance at the right time.

"Fairy Gu." Situ Ba, the Sword Master, spoke in a deep voice, with a sharp edge that only belongs to a swordsman:

"Lord Situ." Gu Qingchan had a perfect smile on her face, but did not reveal too much emotion.

"Master Feng, Master Situ." Qu Zhaocheng, the Fist of the North Star, clasped his fists and greeted the two. As a master, he would normally be the center of attention wherever he went. But when he stood with Gu Qingchan, he seemed to be ignored.

"Fairy Gu."

"Master Qu."

The other three masters present all greeted him. These masters were basically the core elders of the top forces in Canglong State.

Seeing Gu Qingchan's indifferent reaction, Feng Wuhen was not disappointed. He had been practicing swordsmanship since he was young, and he was indomitable. This was true for swordsmanship, and it was also true for emotional matters. A small setback could not cause any waves in his heart.

Gu Qingchan smiled slightly and greeted him, which meant that he still had a chance.

Chen Pingan stood in the distance, watching several masters communicate with each other. During the communication, they had a faint flow of true energy around them, which seemed to isolate the inside and outside. Chen Pingan used his skills to hear the conversation of several people. But if he forced it, he would be discovered. After all, he was not the only one who entered the middle stage of Yuheng.

Although Chen Pingan couldn't hear the conversation clearly, he could see the situation clearly. Yunyin Jianfeng Wuhen seemed to be talking to Gu Qingchan, with a warm expression and a smile on his face.

Gu Qingchan looked dignified with a faint smile on her face. Her eyes were clear, as if they contained thousands of mountains and rivers, making it difficult for people to peek into her heart.

"Ice Soul Divine Needle Gu Qingchan, Breaking Army Knife Situ Ba, Cloud Hidden Sword Wind Without Trace, North Star Divine Fist Qu Zhaocheng" Chen Pingan looked at the people in the distance. At this time, a total of seven masters gathered in the underground cave. Three were in the middle stage of Yuheng, and four were in the early stage of Yuheng.

Among the Grandmasters, I didn't see Yan Shibao, the Master of the Clouds and Mountains. I guess he had other tasks. If we want to successfully complete this siege, in addition to conquering the secondary altar, we must also ensure that the remaining demons cannot escape. There will naturally be Grandmasters guarding the periphery.

I think besides Cuiyun Tuishan Zhang Yan Shibao, there should be other masters.

"With so many masters present, we won't have to put in much effort in this encirclement and suppression."

Chen Pingan looked at it for a while, then stopped paying attention. He closed his eyes slightly and stopped thinking.

Zhong Zeyu stood beside Chen Pingan with an extremely strange look on his face.

He looked at Yunyin Jianfeng Wuhen who seemed to be showing great courtesy to Fairy Gu in the distance, and then looked at Chen Pingan who was standing beside him with a calm expression and his eyes closed.

Zhong Zeyu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out. At this moment, his mood was complicated, with envy, admiration, jealousy, and all kinds of emotions mixed together. Especially when he saw Fairy Gu's slightly cold reaction in front of Feng Wuhen, the emotions in his heart became even more intense.

One is effortless, the other is hard to get. Mr. Chen is really...
A role model for our generation!

After Gu Qingchan arrived, everyone did not stay in the underground cave for long. The masters seemed to have reached a tacit understanding and began to act.

The caves are interconnected, but they have no plans to divide their forces.

Right now, they were in the light, while the demons were in the dark. If they split up their forces hastily, they would be at risk of being divided and assimilated. It would be safer to unite the forces and attack together. However, some elite troops were still left behind in the cave.

Some elite troops are left here. In addition to being on guard and defending and serving as a base camp, they can also serve as mobile personnel and provide effective support.

This time, they were powerful and were not afraid of being taken advantage of by the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. Even though it was the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, there were only a few Grandmasters in it. With their elite troops, they would surely overwhelm the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

Those who held such thoughts almost occupied the majority of the elite troops present. And in the process of in-depth encirclement and suppression, the fact was indeed so. In addition to triggering some mechanisms, they hardly encountered any decent resistance. And with the Grandmaster in charge, these mechanisms did not play the power they should have.

The unexpectedly smooth encirclement and suppression campaign made many people feel inflated.

"This Wanmo thief must be hiding!"

"That's right. Seeing us heavenly soldiers here, all the demons and thieves have already retreated."

"Find their hiding place and eliminate them all."

"."

But there are some sensible ones among them.

"Better be careful. There might be some conspiracy."

"Well, be alert and don't be careless."

"."

Many elite soldiers went deeper and deeper with the Grandmaster. Some stone chambers and stone halls appeared in the middle, but they did not split up, but marched steadily and advanced all the way to the depths.

Swish!
Chen Ping'an walked into a stone room. There was a flash of a knife. A thief hiding in the dark glared and fell to the ground.

"No one else?"

Chen Pingan was a little curious.

After exploring for so long, I didn't encounter any decent resistance. Where did these Wanmo thieves hide? Is there any secret room that they haven't discovered?

Just as Chen Ping'an was thinking, there was a noise outside.

"Found it! Found it!"

"Blood Flame Cave! It should be here."

Chen Ping'an's expression changed, and he walked out of the stone chamber. In the distance, on the side of the stone hall, a stone wall was broken, revealing a secret door. The stone surface was mottled, revealing the vicissitudes and mystery of history.

The secret door was not big, just enough for two people to enter. On the top of the secret door, there were a few large words engraved in blood red.

Blood Flame Cave!

The stone wall outside the secret door seems to have some kind of isolating effect. If it is not checked one by one, even a master would not be able to detect it based on perception alone.

Just now, a top master tried to blow the stone door open with all his strength, but failed. The material of the stone door looked unusual.

"There's something." Chen Ping'an's eyes fell on the dark blue stone wall. He wanted to collect some to study, but it had already been collected by the people around him as a trophy. "Blood Flame Cave?" The secret door also attracted the master's attention. Situ Ba, the army-breaking sword, drew out the broadsword he was holding across his body, ready to chop open the secret door with one blow.

"Lord Situ, let me do it." Yunyin Jianfeng Wuhen walked forward and said with a smile.

"Okay." Situ Ba didn't say anything and sheathed his sword immediately.

Feng Wuhen's attitude towards Gu Qingchan was too obvious. Even he could see Feng Wuhen's eagerness. Since the other party had spoken, he was naturally happy to give him a favor.

Feng Wuhen stood in front of the stone gate, and his eyes changed all of a sudden. Deep and firm, as if he could penetrate the dust of thousands of years and look directly at the unknown world. As his true energy flowed, his clothes and hair moved without wind, adding a sense of elegance.

Whoosh!
Feng Wuhen suddenly moved, and the long sword was unsheathed. A cold light flashed, like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating everything around.

"Swoosh--" the sword hummed, and Yunyin Sword stretched out its body, like a dragon soaring into the sky, the tip of the sword cut through the air, bringing with it a sharp whistle, and pointed directly at the center of the stone gate. This sword was so powerful that it seemed to be able to cut off all obstacles in the world.

"boom!"

There was a deafening roar, and the surface of the stone gate began to crack. The cracks spread rapidly, covering the entire stone gate like a spider web. Then, huge rocks broke apart, splashing in all directions, stirring up a storm of dust and gravel.

Amidst loud roars, the stone gate completely collapsed and turned into countless pieces that scattered all over the ground, revealing the dark passage behind it.

"What a strong sword intent!" Feeling the residual sword intent around him, Fist of the North Star Qu Zhaocheng's eyes were solemn and he said secretly.

"The Yunyin Sword?" A hint of fear emerged in Chen Ping'an's heart.

This sword, with its majestic sword intent, sharp edge and extremely strong killing power! Ordinary masters simply cannot resist it.

If this sword fell on him, even if he was wearing the black ice silk armor and exerted his magic power with all his strength, he would probably still be defeated.
The skin is broken!

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Feng Wuhen sheathed his sword and stood proudly in front of the stone gate. His figure was tall and straight, like a lone crane among pine trees, revealing an indescribable sense of free and easy and proud spirit.

This is the swordsman's unrestrained and romantic nature.

He turned slowly, his eyes falling gently and expectantly on the woman standing not far away, hoping to catch a hint of surprise, admiration or praise in her eyes.

Gu Qingchan's eyes were clear and calm like water. The sword just now did not seem to have touched her at all.

A trace of disappointment flashed through Feng Wuhen's mind, but he quickly dispelled it.

"Qingchan, you can come in now."

Gu Qingchan nodded slightly and walked towards the dark passage. When Gu Qingchan passed Feng Wuhen, the fragrance filled the air, making his heart flutter. He collected his mind and quickly followed in. The situation inside was unknown, so he would not let Gu Qingchan face it alone.

Situ Ba, Qu Zhaocheng and others followed closely behind.

"Enter!"

"Yes!" Everyone cheered, holding weapons, and headed into the passage.

Looking at everyone, Chen Pingan took light steps and walked in as well.

boom!
He had just stepped in when a loud noise was heard from inside.

"Found it?" Chen Pingan said calmly, and quickly ran into the passage. In front of the Grandmaster, he did not sense it with all his strength, but only locked the sensing range within a very small range.

"Found it! The Wanmo thief is here, quickly suppress him!"

boom!
A sound came from the passage, and the expressions of the people outside suddenly became excited.

"Damn it, I finally found it!"

"It is indeed here."

"Ten thousand demons and thieves, where are you going to escape!"

"."

Everyone rushed in, but because the passage was narrow, not too many people could rush in at once. With so many masters present, they felt very calm. Finding the gathering place of the Ten Thousand Demon Thieves was a credit to them.

With the achievements ahead, everyone would be anxious.

Except for a very small number of people who were on guard outside, the rest of the people headed towards the passage.

Fortunately, they are all elite troops from the Pacification Office and major forces, and the overall order is still within controllable range.

boom! boom! boom!
The passage was long and narrow, and before Chen Pingan had completely walked out of it, he heard a series of roars from deep inside. His brows flickered with spirituality, and he instantly sensed the violent and mixed aura in the distance.

"It's the Master of Ten Thousand Demons!"

Whoosh!
Chen Ping'an held the Golden Crocodile Flame Knife in his hand and his figure flashed.

At the end of the passage is an extremely wide space, where many elite soldiers who have not yet fought have been fighting with the thieves of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

Chen Pingan glanced around and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Six Ten Thousand Demon Grandmasters! Why are there so many?"

Six unfamiliar auras were fighting with Yun Yin Jian Po Jun Dao and others. The surrounding aura was violent and blood was flashing.

"Die!"

A 10,000 Demon Thief fell from the sky, flashing a strange blood light. He had already seen the scene of the young man's death below.

How dare you be distracted during the encirclement and suppression?
Swish!
Chen Pingan didn't even raise his head, and a dark blue knife light appeared. The Wanmo thief in the sky fell into a pool of blood with an unbelievable look in his eyes.

Rumble~
There was a loud noise, and Chen Pingan suddenly realized that the dark and narrow passage behind him was actually collapsing. Not only that, but screams came from the other side of the passage.

Balls of blood mist suddenly fell from above and began to spread at an extremely fast speed.

"Poisonous fog!"

Chen Ping'an's expression changed and he instantly realized something was wrong.

"not good!"

"Ambush!"

"what!"

"Damn it!"

"."

The blood mist seemed to contain a strange toxin. The moment they came into contact with it, they felt extremely sore and weak, and their Qi became dull. Many elite soldiers who were encircling and suppressing the enemy were fighting with the Wanmo thieves. However, the sudden appearance of the blood mist made their Qi dull, and they were caught off guard and instantly fell into a disadvantage.

"What kind of poison is this?" Chen Ping'an's eyebrows flickered spiritually, and green light circulated around him, isolating the poisonous fog from outside. "It can actually affect the Grandmaster?"

With his current physique, he should be immune to most poisonous fogs. But he just tried it and found that this poisonous fog was unusual. He felt something was wrong as soon as he came into contact with it. Although it didn't make him completely powerless, it didn't affect his strength at all.

"Be careful of this blood mist! Use your true Qi to protect your body and keep it out!" A voice rang out in the scene.

Everyone present put up their Qi shields. It was better when they entered the Xuanguang realm, which could block the blood mist. But before reaching Xuanguang, although they had the internal Qi to protect them, they were quickly eroded by the blood mist and finally fell to the ground powerlessly.

In a corner of the dim and chaotic battlefield, a thief from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect was grinning as he tried to kill an Inner Qi Realm cultivator who had fallen powerlessly to the ground.

"Die!" There was a bloodthirsty light flashing in the eyes of the Wanmo thief.

Swish!
Chen Ping'an's figure flashed, and he slashed with his sword. The gray-white mixed with dark blue blade light drew a dazzling trajectory in the air.

The smile on the Wanmo thief's face froze instantly, his body split into two, blood gushed out, dyeing the surrounding land red, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.

The majestic martial arts will surged like raging waves.

Inside the cave, mysterious light flickered and true essence collided.

The whole scene was in complete chaos.
