"Yes!" Nangong Qian waved his hand to calm him down." I understand. Second brother, you have to remember that no matter what happens, you will always be my younger brother and I will always be your older brother. There is no one like me.”
After saying that, Nangong Qian turned around and left, leaving Nangong Kun alone in a daze. He didn't know why his brother would ask him such a question. Could it be that his brother had already guessed what was on his mind, or that his brother had other plans? Nangong Kun was in a mess. Looking at his brother's disappearing figure, Nangong Kun's eyes were a little moist. He seemed to feel that something was happening subtly.
The next morning, when everyone woke up, Han Xu was busy preparing food. He had also specially boiled some medicine that Nangong Ziyin had given him before she left. Now, it came in handy. This was also thanks to his Haoran Mirror. It seemed like a small mirror, but it could store countless items. This was not surprising.
Only the Nangong Twins and Tang Wan 'er knew what happened last night. Of course, they acted as if nothing had happened. They ate the food prepared by Han Xu and kept praising his cooking.
After everyone recovered, they set off. Along the way, the cuckoo's call was particularly crisp, as if it was sending off this group of guests who rarely appeared. This scene was exactly the same as the rumors. Various cuckoos appeared one after another, weaving beautiful and dazzling colors in the sky. Although their cries were colorful, they were not noisy. They were harmonious and pleasant to the ear.
The group of people walked along with the chirping of the birds until the sun set. When everyone looked back, a five-colored glow rose in the sky. No, upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a sky full of cuckoos. Their colorful feathers reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, emitting a beautiful and alluring brilliance. Occasionally, three or four feathers would fall, and Sparrow Sunshine Mountain seemed to shed a few sad tears as they bid farewell to the five of them.
"To be able to see such a beautiful scenery, I have no regrets in my life!”
This voice seemed to echo in everyone's hearts, and they could not let it go. They stood there for a long time before they reluctantly left.
After everyone left, Sparrow Sunshine Mountain immediately returned to silence. All the sounds stopped abruptly. Suddenly, a black cloud slowly parted the multicolored light in the sky. A pair of cold eyes looked in the direction where the five people had left. A strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the surrounding air gradually became filled with coldness. This was the aura of death and decay. All life seemed so small and fragile in front of it. A battle began in an instant.
"We only need to turn left and pass through a mountain road to reach Cihang Ancient Town.”Tang Wan 'er panted as she encouraged the others.
After rushing for a while without stopping, the five of them seemed to be exhausted, especially Nangong Qian. His old injuries had been bothering him, and now his face was pale.
"Brother Qian, can you still hold on? Why don't we take a break?" Tang Wan 'er asked with concern.
"I'm alright. If I work harder, I'll reach Cihang Ancient Town.”
"Brother, don't force yourself. Let's take a break.”Nangong Kun asked with concern.
"No need, let's hurry…"
Just as Nangong Qian finished speaking, a cold voice drifted over, shocking everyone.
"As a brother, why don't you cherish your brother's good intentions?”
The five of them were shocked when they heard that. They turned their heads and saw an iron umbrella slowly descending, but they did not see the person who spoke.
"Since you're here, why are you so timid and unwilling to show yourself?”Nangong Qian asked after calming himself down, his eyes fixed on the iron umbrella.
"I've been standing behind you all this time!”
The five of them turned pale with fright and hurriedly turned around. A cold man appeared in front of them. The man was tall and slender, as tall as Nangong Qian. His black hair reached his ears, but there was a bunch of red hair tied behind his head by a purple headband. A pair of slightly red eyes flickered with a strange light. There was a slight smile on his lips, but it made people feel a sense of killing intent and mockery. He was wearing a black cloth armor with red cotton lining, which highlighted the strong physique hidden under his thin appearance.
"Li Li, leave quickly. This person isn't kind!”Nangong Qian said to Li Li through his voice transmission.
"You don't have to leave, because you're all going to die.”The man saw through Nangong Qian's voice transmission technique, and the smile on his face instantly disappeared. What replaced it was a cold and arrogant voice filled with killing intent.
Nangong Qian saw that the other party had already revealed his identity, so he was ready to fight. He looked at Li Li, who was standing there motionlessly. His face was solemn, and his breathing quickened.
"Lili, what's wrong?"
Nangong Qian wanted to pull him back, but before he could do anything, he fell to the ground. His face was haggard and devoid of blood.
"One!"
The man's cold voice shocked everyone. Li Li had died just like that without any warning. They didn't even see when the other party had attacked. How did he make his move?
" You..." Nangong Qian's veins were bulging as he unleashed all the lightning energy in his body.
"The mirror is rippling, and the cold wind is unruly-Thousand Mirror Mysterious Shadow!”No one had expected Han Xu to make a move before Nangong Qian. This Thousand Mirror Shadow was Han Xu's strongest move and consumed a lot of true essence. However, after these few days of experience, Han Xu's cultivation had also increased a lot. Now, he could barely support this move.
The man did not expect Han Xu to make the first move. Perhaps he was a little surprised, but he did not make any dodging posture. Han Xu took the opportunity to circulate his true essence, and the silver halo tightly surrounded the man. This time, the halo was much smaller than before, probably because Han Xu deliberately suppressed his true essence. The mirror that rose from the halo instantly reflected the man's figure. Silver light appeared in all directions.
The man had already regained his composure. The iron umbrella had returned to his hand at some point and was placed horizontally in front of his chest. Han Xu saw the situation and shouted. The Mystic Ice Spike that exploded from the mirror stabbed towards the man at the same time. However, the man remained calm. He held the umbrella handle with his right hand and spun it. The iron umbrella suddenly opened and kept spinning in front of him.
Han Xu shrunk the halo and naturally got closer to the man. It could reduce the output of true essence and also increase the power of the attack. However, Han Xu's confident attack was blocked by the umbrella. Xuan Bing couldn't get close to the man. Just as the man was feeling smug, a water dragon, a lightning dragon, and a fire dragon intertwined with each other and attacked him. The white, blue, and red talismans behind the three dragons flickered with dazzling light.
The man did not panic at all. He calmly flipped the umbrella over and faced the three menacing dragons. A strange black fog quietly shrouded the umbrella. When the three dragons collided, they were all turned into nothingness by the black fog.
The three of them turned pale with fright. They had never thought that this seemingly simple iron umbrella would actually be such a powerful magic tool.
"So it's you!" Nangong Qian recognized this iron umbrella. He was the mysterious man who had saved Black Cicada at Nangong Manor.
"Not bad, we meet again!" the man said contemptuously.
Then, the umbrella in the man's hand stopped. He formed a hand seal and chanted an incantation. The black fog at the opening of the umbrella gradually spread out, and a terrifying and sinister aura pounced towards the three of them. The black mist turned into a black net in front of the three of them. The net tightened and surrounded them. The man seized the opportunity and changed his hand seal. However, the person in the black net quietly disappeared.
"Hmm?" The man was shocked at first, but he immediately calmed down. He turned to Han Xu and said with a hint of mockery,"Brat, it's your doing, right? You must have used a technique that uses mirror light illusions. Interesting!”
"Hmph, you still dare to order me to do so!"
Han Xu roared at the man. He swept the mirror in his hand, and the images of the Nangong Twins and Tang Wan 'er appeared in all directions. They rushed over with killing intent. The man remained silent and stood still. At this moment, Han Xu was gasping for breath. He was already having a hard time using the two moves together. In addition, he was rushing non-stop. Han Xu knew that he had already reached his limit. This move of his was going to determine the victor with the man.
Han Xu thought that no matter how high the man's cultivation was, the umbrella could only be aimed at one side. In the face of a situation where he was surrounded by enemies, the man would definitely be injured.
However, before Han Xu could regain his senses, the man disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye. In his place was a strong hand that was tightly gripping his throat. Han Xu felt an inexplicable fear at this moment. He seemed to have smelled the breath of death. As long as that hand exerted a little strength, his life would end here. He tried to take out the brocade bag his mother had left behind, but his hands seemed to be tied up and he could not exert any strength. Han Xu looked at the scorching sun in the sky, but he could not feel any warmth. Cold sweat soaked his clothes, and an unprecedented despair rose in Han Xu's heart.
"Brat, it's over. Your technique can only be used on three people, right? What a pity…the second one.”The man's cold voice rang in Han Xu's ears again. Han Xu felt something slowly suppressing his throat, and his breathing became more and more difficult. The Haoran Mirror in his hand also fell down, gradually losing its luster, and all the illusions disappeared.
"No, Xiao Xu!" The other three people shouted as they rushed towards the man.
"Humph!"
The man turned around and placed the umbrella in front of his chest, facing the three of them as he chanted something. Han Xu was instantly relieved. He held his chest and breathed in large mouthfuls of air. He felt his life returning bit by bit, but the fear from before had not disappeared. Han Xu could still feel his hands and feet trembling.
"Serene Inferno Prison, Five Ghosts, listen up!”
The iron umbrella in the man's hand released a ghostly aura that seemed to come from hell. It spread in the air and wrapped around the three of them with its claws bared. The three of them felt that something was wrong and immediately activated the Seven Stars Steps of the Five Elements Sect of the Sacred Mountain of Shu to try to avoid the daunting black gas.
Even though the Seven Stars Dipper Steps was very mysterious, they were naturally unable to deal with the strange black gas. In addition, they were already exhausted. After dodging a few moves, the three of them were caught by the black gas.
The strange black gas crawled all over the three of them like vines. No matter how they struggled, it was useless. Then, the black gas burrowed into their clothes and soaked into their flesh. The three of them also cried out in fear. Tang Wan 'er's sharp voice was heart-wrenching, as if the black gas was also corroding her life. They looked just like Li Li, both terrifying and pitiful. Han Xu was still in a state of shock. He stood rooted to the ground, expressionless.
