Assault on the Nightmare Tower

Nightmare Attack Chapter 2

When Mu Xuechen and Qin'er arrived at the Yangzhou sub-helm of Attacking Nightmare Palace, it was already late and the moon was already half moon.

Entering the organ city outside the sub-rudder, Mu Xuechen went through many defensive checkpoints, and just entered the inner altar to meet the Yangzhou rudder master Yang Chen. He didn't say anything, and only handed Yang Chen the urgent army list.

Mu Xuechen went to Yangzhou far away, and he was the landlord. In Yang Chen's eyes, he was a rare and distinguished guest. Now that he had already climbed the building, Yang Chen left Mu Xuechen to live in the sub-helm.He had already ordered his subordinates to clean up the guest room for Mu Xuechen, and sent a maid to serve him respectfully.

However, Mu Xuechen was very defensive, and could only allow Qin'er to be by his side, so he sent all the maids out.

In the guest room, Qin'er helped Mu Xuechen change and wash his clothes. Seeing that Mu Xuechen's expression was indifferent, and he was no longer interested in Gu Jingyan during the day, he couldn't help asking: "Mr. And why did you leave in such a hurry? After leaving the inn, where are you going to find him after seven days?"

Mu Xuechen's expression was gloomy, and he said: "You and I have been running around for several days, isn't it just for this urgent military report? How can I abandon the task assigned to me by the Palace Master and follow that person?"

"So, what you said during the day was just talk?" Qin'er smiled. "That's good. I thought the landlord was really going to get close to him, and I was still worried. Then Gu Jingyan is probably not a fuel-efficient lamp. I'm afraid the landlord won't get any bargain."

"Why is it just talking, I have already planned what to do next." Mu Xuechen said lightly. "Today, I sprayed incense powder on his Dragon Color Sword. After finishing this matter, I summoned a spirit butterfly to follow the fragrance and follow his trail."

Qin'er frowned and said puzzledly: "But the landlord, if you want to save him, you have to detoxify his snake bead. This snake bead is revered as the most poisonous poison. There is no medicine to cure it. How can you solve it?" Woolen cloth."

"I don't have a cure for the snake bead poison, but there is a way to temporarily suppress the poison." Mu Xuechen said. "When I left the main altar, Bone Butterfly gave me a few Tianshan blood lotus seeds that can detoxify all poisons in the world. Although it is not enough to detoxify the snake beads, it can suppress the poison. It seems to be no different from detoxification. As for a few years later, If he relapses, if I have already obtained it by then, he will have nothing to do with me."

"But if the landlord happened to meet him to detoxify him, wouldn't it be too abrupt and make him suspicious?"

"You mentioned this for a long time, and I also thought of a way in my heart." Mu Xuechen said. "Since the big man in black wants to kill him with snake beads, he naturally wants to see him in pain and humiliation. I'm afraid he will send people to encircle and suppress him after seven days. To save Gu Jingyan's life, when the time comes, I will draw my sword to help when I see injustice, and I will be his savior, and it is too late for him to thank me, so how can he doubt me." He paused, then said: "If he still doubts I, too, have no conscience."

Qin'er tilted her head, and said: "The landlord knows that someone poisoned him, and if he stopped him while poisoning, wouldn't that count as saving his life? Why bother?"

"It's just a sentence to stop someone from poisoning, so what's the weight? How could he trust me from the bottom of his heart?" Mu Xuechen said. "The so-called great kindness in the world is nothing more than sending charcoal in a timely manner to save people in crisis. Qin'er, you are not from the rivers and lakes, you don't understand these things."

"So, the host is thinking of waiting for Gu Jingyan to die from poison, and to save him when he fights with others and gets seriously injured?"

"Yes."

Qin'er frowned, feeling only resentment in her heart, she always felt that if she knew that the person was in trouble but allowed it to develop, wouldn't that be just sitting on the sidelines and doing nothing to save him?It's just... thinking about it again, it's not the first day for her to walk the rivers and lakes, and now she's under the command of the Devil's Sect Assaulting Nightmare Palace. She gradually has to understand and use those tricks.

After all, Mu Xuechen's ruthlessness and Mu Xuechen's coldness only show that he is actually a smart person.

"By the way, Qin'er." Mu Xuechen cut off the lantern and said calmly. "This time, the party has been sent to the army list, and the task is completed. After that, you will go back to the main altar alone. Don't explain my whereabouts to the Palace Master, just say that I have a private matter for the time being. I will go to Gu Jingyan's side alone." .”

"The host doesn't bring Qin'er? Why?"

Mu Xuechen looked at her, smiled faintly, and said, "Girl, have you forgotten? You are a school of scholars, and you have a school seal tattooed on your right cheek, and now because you have betrayed the sect, the seal is marked with red lines to indicate abandonment." , anyone with a discerning eye can see that you are an outcast from the Shuke family, how can I not arouse his suspicion if I take you to get close to Gu Jingyan?"

Qin'er's expression darkened when she heard the words, she nodded, and subconsciously stroked the traces of the seal under Ru Mo's long hair.

Seeing that Qin'er was slightly unhappy, Mu Xuechen smiled lightly, grabbed her shoulders and said, "Girl, what are you unhappy about? The main thing this host is most grateful to the Palace Master is that he sent you to my side. You Why does such a talented woman live her whole life in such a lowly place in Shukemen? Follow me, and I will protect your gold and silver, and your glory for the rest of your life."

Qin'er listened to his words, and nodded with a smile instead of sadness. She looked up at Mu Xuechen's ice-like face, smiling like a flower.

At that time, she didn't know that she was destined to not be able to see through this man's mind.

The next day, Mu Xuechen declined Yang Chen's persuasion, left Yangzhou, hired a carriage outside Yangzhou City, and sent Qin'er away.

He used his internal strength to form a spirit butterfly, and found that Gu Jingyan hadn't gone far, and he was still in Yangzhou.

There are still six days before he is poisoned, now, all he needs to do is wait.

Although Mu Xuechen is a dignified person, but because he seldom travels far, he really looks like a child when he walks in the city of Yangzhou. Everything he sees is new. In a few days, he has played the streets and alleys of Yangzhou. After eating Yangzhou's specialty delicacies, I feel relieved.But in a few days, the whole body seemed to have gained a lot of weight, and the slender frame finally became round, but his complexion was still pale and bloodless due to the practice of Yin and Cold Kung Fu.

Time flies like an arrow, time flies.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the sixth day after Gu Jingyan drank that cup of poisoned tea.

On the outskirts of Yangzhou, Mu Xuechen followed Lingdie all the way.He knew that the snake beads would be poisoned within an hour or two at most, and he needed to be stuck at the moment when Gu Jingyan's life was at stake, and rescue him, so that he could stay by his side along the river and carry out the next step. plan.

After walking with Lingdie for a long time, he finally came to a peach forest.

Fireworks in March, Yangzhou is the most beautiful when the ice and snow have just melted.Outside the city of Yangzhou, there is a continuous stretch of pink, with ten miles of peach trees and ten miles of peach blossoms, which are so enchanting and enchanting.It seems that the cinnabar dab of ink is like a dragon and a snake, and Xun's eyes are full of the color of peach blossoms with slight ripples.

And amidst the pink, Gu Jingyan was sitting under the peach blossom tree, playing a purple jade flute.

The sound of the flute was slightly raised, and the person playing the flute seemed so suave and unrestrained, the sound of the flute was long, mixed with a kind of melodiousness and open-mindedness beyond the world.

Gu Jingyan blew slowly there, while Mu Xuechen stood ten feet away and listened carefully.Even though the peach blossoms covered his figure, he didn't dare to take another step forward. Gu Jingyan's inner strength is deep, so he will inevitably not be alert to his abnormal movements.

Simply put, Mu Xuechen didn't wait long, and those who wanted to take Gu Jingyan's life came.

Mu Xuechen knew that those people were very good at observing words and expressions, and they were very smart. He also just saw that Gu Jingyan's face was churning with poison, and he was about to burst out.

In the peach grove, at this moment, a dozen or so black-clothed men descended from the sky, each with a sharp knife in his hand, and covered his face with black veils. Those ten or so men surrounded Gu Jingyan in a circle, as if they intended to attack Gu Jingyan's body and annihilated him in one fell swoop.

However, Gu Jingyan was not in a hurry, he stood up, put away the purple jade flute, and unsheathed the dragon-colored sword in his hand.The dragon color really lived up to the name of the fairy sword, the sword energy was sharp, but with the slight movement of unsheathing, the sword energy cut off half of the peach blossoms, and a thousand petals of red powder fell suddenly, which was extremely enchanting.

Seeing that the dragon-colored sword is so powerful, the big man in black at the head was a little scared, but he still said loudly: "Gu Jingyan, you will be buried here today. I, the Dragon Snake Gate, killed you today, not only because I can't see you righteous people. The self-proclaimed righteous face is also to make my Dragon Snake Sect famous all over the world! Haha, if I can kill Gu Jingyan, that would be a great prestige!"

Gu Jingyan stood with his sword in his hand, smiled coldly, and said, "It's a pity, you may not be able to kill me."

"If it's a normal day, of course not." The big man in black said loudly. "But now, you have been poisoned by the snake bead. Now that the snake bead has been released, as long as you practice a little bit, the poison will enter your heart and lungs. If you don't believe it, you can give it a try!"

"Snake beads?" Gu Jingyan was slightly taken aback, and then worked a little bit to adjust his breath. He really felt the pain in his heart and lungs, and he couldn't help sneering: "You snakes and rats are really vicious."

"If we're not vicious, how can we kill the disciples of the martial arts leader Chu Xichen, and how can we kill the future martial arts leader?" The black-clothed man laughed loudly. "Looking at it now, even the dragon-colored sword is on your body. Not only can I take your life today, but I can also get this treasure of the martial arts alliance."

"Oh, you guys, come and try it!"

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Jingyan had already started his swordsmanship, and the move on the sword was exactly Chu Xichen's unique secret skill - sword walking over the cloud platform.All of a sudden, a whirlwind suddenly blew up in the peach blossom forest, and the sky was full of peach blossom colors.

Mu Xuechen, who was hiding behind the peach blossom tree, couldn't help being startled. He had heard of Gu Jingyan's name, but he didn't know that person well.He never imagined that Gu Jingyan's internal energy would be so pure and profound, that he could even use his internal energy to suppress toxicity while at the same time create a whirlwind with his true energy.

If he is left alive, it will definitely be a serious disaster for the Nightmare Palace in the future!

However, Gu Jingyan was poisoned after all. Although he tried his best to kill eight big men in black, he was still at a disadvantage when facing the remaining six people. Gradually, more than a dozen deep knife wounds appeared on his body. The internal force could no longer suppress the toxicity, and a mouthful of scarlet blood came out of his mouth.Mu Xuechen knew that when the snake beads broke out, the human body would feel like maggots attached to the bone, and it would be extremely itchy and painful. Now Gu Jingyan just gritted his teeth and endured it, thinking that he would have such perseverance.

Although the big man in black at the head was injured, seeing that Gu Jingyan was already at the end of his strength, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Gu Jingyan, it seems that today, you are destined to be killed by us snakes and rats! Just remember, see you in the underworld! When you arrive at Lord Yan, don’t forget to report the name of our Dragon Snake Sect!”

When Gu Jingyan heard the words, he smiled lightly.

That smile was extremely cold, completely different from his usual sanctimonious appearance.

Mu Xuechen didn't know what countermeasures Gu Jingyan had, and why that person was so confident.But I saw Gu Jingyan chanting the mantra silently, surrounded by true energy, and the sword energy suddenly became a little bit sharper, against the blood all over his body, it was extremely terrifying, he looked like a Shura in a pool of blood.

Mu Xuechen was watching secretly in doubt, but he saw Gu Jingyan's figure suddenly disappeared. After a while, the six big men in black burst into bleeding flowers all over their bodies, and before they had time to rest their eyes, they fell down one by one.

The six people were actually decapitated at the same moment.

Mu Xuechen never knew that there would be such a fierce and fast swordsmanship in this world. If Gu Jingyan used this move against him, although his throat would not be cut off, he would be severely cut in one place!

However, before he had time to think too much, he looked at Gu Jingyan, who was covered in blood in the bloody rain in the peach grove, and was finally exhausted. He pressed his chest and coughed a few mouthfuls of black and red blood, and then his body went limp. , fell down.

Mu Xuechen knew that at this time, it was time for him to appear.
