Chapter 34 Spiritual Vulture!
The three women all held long swords, and the swords flashed out with incredible speed.
The middle-aged man, dressed in a Taoist hat, monk's robe, and Confucian shoes, was forced into a retreat and was beginning to lose his footing.
At this time.
Fang Liu, who was standing to the side, suddenly covered his mouth and whispered to Zhong Yuan, "Young Master."
"That person wearing a Taoist hat and monk's robes looks like Master Ma!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yuan immediately raised an eyebrow.
Are you sure?
How do you know him?
Fang Liu said in a low voice, "I don't know that Master Ma either, but I heard Master Wang mention that Master Ma was originally a strange person who cultivated at Da Ruo Yan."
"Years ago, he was injured in a fight and was saved by the former leader."
"Then Master Ma became a disciple of the leader and joined the Ming Cult. Coincidentally, the previous leader wanted to set up a branch altar in Yiwu City, so Master Ma became the master of the Yiwu branch altar."
"In recent years, the Yiwu branch altar has been rarely used. However, Master Wang said that Master Ma is a descendant of a monk from the Southern Dynasties and practices Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism."
"I like wearing a Taoist hat, monk's robes, and Confucian shoes, which is quite different from ordinary people."
"While I'm not sure, there shouldn't be such a coincidence in the world."
Zhong Yuan nodded slightly.
"If he really is the master of the horse altar, then we really can't just stand by and watch him die."
Zhong Yuan watched for a while and could tell that although the three young women were not old, their swordsmanship was quite sharp.
Especially the two twin sisters, who attacked at the same time, as if they were telepathically connected.
Every move was aimed directly at the middle-aged man's vital points.
The middle-aged man was unarmed, so he was already at a disadvantage.
If this continues, even if they don't die, they will surely be captured.
Zhong Yuan raised an eyebrow, handed the bundle he was carrying to Fang Liu, and waited for an opportunity to leave.
At this time.
Before the middle-aged man could react, the girl in the light red dress stabbed him in the left arm.
The middle-aged man's arm was injured, and he paused for a moment.
Over there, the young woman in the pale yellow dress suddenly raised her hand, and two streaks of silver light shot out from her sleeve.
It was fired directly at the middle-aged man!
The middle-aged man flicked his sleeve to block it!
But the girl in the moon-white dress seized the opportunity and stabbed the middle-aged man in the abdomen with her sword.
With a soft "pfft".
The middle-aged man was struck by a sword and staggered.
But then the three women were about to seize the opportunity to move forward and take down the middle-aged man.
Just then.
A sword aura descended from the sky, directly attacking the woman in the pale yellow dress from behind.
puff!
A muffled groan was heard.
The woman in the pale yellow dress changed her expression and immediately looked down at her lower abdomen, where a delicate sword wound appeared.
Blood has already seeped out.
The woman raised her hand and tapped the wound several times, then covered it and let out a soft cry.
"Someone's attacking!"
huh~~~
At this time.
The girl in the light red dress already had a sword pressed against the middle-aged man's neck, and then casually stepped forward to press the man's pressure points.
The middle-aged man fell to the ground, unable to move.
The girl in the moon-white dress saw that the woman in the pale yellow dress had an injury to her abdomen, and immediately stepped forward to help her up, asking, "Sister Fu."
Are you alright?
The woman's face was pale as she looked around warily and said in a cold voice, "There are people in the woods!"
The girl dressed in moon-white clothes held a long sword in her hand and looked into the forest, a hint of anxiety flashing deep in her eyes.
"Who goes there!"
"Hiding their heads and showing their true colors, how dare they attack the people of my Lingjiu Palace!"
"Get out here and face your death!"
Zhong Yuan told Fang Liu to hide, then slowly walked out from behind the rocks, through the woods, and into the depths of the forest.
He stopped less than five zhang away from the three women.
His gaze swept past the three women, and he asked the middle-aged man who was sitting on the ground with his pressure points sealed.
"But is it Ma Ruoyan?"
The middle-aged man sitting on the ground cried out urgently.
"I am Ma Ruoyan!"
"Your Excellency, be careful! These three are evil spirits from the Lingjiu Palace!"
"His martial arts are incredibly strange!"
The girl in the light red dress slapped Ma Ruoyan across the face, leaving several finger marks on the middle-aged man's face and knocking out two of his teeth.
Immediately, the girl in red walked forward with a frosty expression and stood next to the girl in moon-white clothes.
He coldly asked Zhong Yuan, "Who are you?"
"Dare to interfere in the affairs of my Lingjiu Palace?"
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Zhong Yuan remained calm and said indifferently, "Ma Ruoyan is a member of my Ming Cult."
"Did the Lingjiu Palace consult my Ming Cult before attacking him?"
A chill suddenly rose between the woman's brows and eyes, as she wore a pale red dress.
"When did Ma Ruoyan become a member of the Ming Cult?"
"He is one of the seventy-two cave masters under my Lingjiu Palace, the cave master of Ruoyan Cave!"
"The Ming Cult's headquarters was burned down by the imperial court's henchmen, yet the Ming Cult members still dare to keep their tails between their legs and secretly harm my Lingjiu Palace members!"
"They're truly courting death!"
Wow!
As soon as he finished speaking...
The woman in the light red dress immediately raised her sword and stepped forward. Her movements were extremely fast, and her figure flashed like a ghost.
In the blink of an eye, they were already close to Zhongyuan.
The girl in the white dress followed closely behind.
The two men thrust their longswords forward, their blades flashing!
With a flick of her wrist, the girl in the light red dress slashed diagonally upwards. The sword move seemed gentle, but it actually concealed the skillful "Plum Blossom Hand" technique of the Tianshan Swordplay.
The two attacked from the front and the back, the former attacking Zhong Yuan's left side and the latter attacking Zhong Yuan's right side.
The girl in the moon-white dress drew her sword, the sword shadows layered upon each other, like orchids blooming, each sword seemingly aimed precisely at Zhong Yuan's wrist, shoulder, knee and other points!
If that long sword were to pierce him, Zhong Yuan would instantly have several bloody holes in his body.
Zhong Yuan remained calm. The two girls were identical in appearance, figure, and physique, and both came from Lingjiu Palace.
He had already figured out the identities of the two girls.
They should be two of the four maids, Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, under the command of the Heavenly Child Granny of Lingjiu Palace.
Of the four women, who are the Child Granny's confidantes and are also quadruplet sisters, only two are currently present.
Perhaps the other two are nearby as well.
Lingjiu Palace is not to be trifled with.
Therefore, he must act quickly.
Immediately.
Suddenly, he raised both hands, extending his middle fingers from both hands simultaneously, and two streams of sword energy shot out from between his hands.
The girl in light red and the girl in moon white came with their swords drawn, and were less than five steps away from Zhong Yuan.
Zhong Yuan suddenly attacked, and it was with two fingers of sword energy!
Before the two could react, the two sword energies pierced their chests and they exploded instantly!
The two staggered instantly, spitting out blood!
Zhong Yuan showed no intention of holding back.
He leaped into the air and swept his leg out horizontally.
Sweep those two women away!
The moment the two women took flight, Zhong Yuan flipped over and unleashed two more sword energies that shot out through the air, piercing directly between the two women's eyebrows.
Thud! Thud!
The two women fell to the ground and were already dead!
