Walk along the mountain road from the bottom of Jianxing Peak to halfway up the mountain. You can reach the top of Cuiping Mountain and then you can see a temple composed of two pavilions.

The temple is called Xuankong Temple. If you look at it from the bottom of the peak, it looks like a castle in the air where immortals live.

The two pavilions are both three-story wood and stone structures, rising more than ten feet from the top of the mountain. They are dozens of steps apart from each other. One is in Cuiping Mountain and the other is in Tianfengling. The middle is only a few feet wide.

They are connected by a wooden flying bridge, and below the flying bridge is an abyss that cannot be seen to the bottom.

Such an ingenious building, I don’t know how much manpower and material resources were spent on building it.

The two pavilions, one "Spirit Turtle" and the other "Sacred Snake", are taken from the Northern Xuanwu (tortoise and snake entwined), one of the four spirits. Coincidentally, Wudang Mountain is also the dojo of Emperor Zhenwu, and the Hengshan Sword Sect and Wudang

Pai's swordsmanship is all about defense.

In terms of strict defense, Hengshan Swordsmanship is not as good as Wudang Sect's Tai Chi Swordsmanship, but Hengshan Swordsmanship often kills in the most unexpected places, and its swift and sharp counterattacks are superior to Tai Chi Swordsmanship.

The topography of Xuankong Temple is so special that once someone encircles them with strong bows and crossbows under the trail, the people in the pavilion can only sit back and wait for death. If they want to break out, they will have to pay a heavy price.

At this time, Linghu Chong, Fang Zheng, and Chongxu, the three leaders of the righteous sect, were blocked by the demon sect on the flying bridge between the two attics. In the Linggui Pavilion and the Divine Snake Pavilion, there were more than a dozen crossbows stretched out each.

Point to the three people.

It stands to reason that with the martial arts of Linghu Chong and the others, even if the flying bridge under their feet is only a few feet wide and there is an abyss beneath the bridge, there is no room for maneuver. Even if the number of bows and crossbows is doubled, it will be difficult to cause any harm to them.

But at this time, all three of them showed fear.

Because the thirty-odd crossbows of the Demon Sect members are not ordinary crossbows, but special crossbows that can shoot poisonous water. The poisonous water is extremely smelly and will rot when it touches anything.

Even with Master Fang Zheng's superb internal strength developed in the "Yi Jin Jing", Taoist Master Chongxu's extremely defensive "Wudang Mianzhang" cannot completely resist it. If even a little bit falls on the body, it will rot to the bone in an instant.

The two of them were like this, let alone Linghu Chong, a man who was 90% disabled without his sword.

With Linghu Chong's courage and the experience of the two masters, they would be afraid of such a poisonous thing.

The people who trapped the three leaders were the two demon sect elders who had previously paid tribute to Linghu Chong on behalf of Dongfang Bubai, the Yellow-faced Venerable Jia Bu and the Eagle Hero Shangguan Yun.

Jia Bu led twenty crossbowmen and thirty strong men in ambush in Linggui Pavilion. Shangguan Yun led twenty crossbowmen and twenty strong men in ambush in Shenshe Pavilion.

The arrangement of the two demon sect elders was to force the three leaders to cut off one of their arms before being captured. Of course, Linghu Chong and the others would not agree to such conditions, but Jia Bu on the other side had already issued an ultimatum.

Jia Bu shouted sternly: "Start quickly! Don't try to delay waiting for reinforcements. I call one, two, three. If you still lose your arm, the poisonous water will be released! One!"

Linghu Chong was on alert on the flying bridge.

Jia Bu shouted: "Two!"

Linghu Chong waved the round blade in his hand, ready to charge.

Jia Bu shouted: "Everyone, get ready, I'm going to count to three!"

Suddenly, a green cloud jumped from the roof of Linggui Pavilion, floated to the flying bridge, and stood in front of Linghu Chong. It was Ren Yingying.

Linghu Chong wanted to protect Ren Yingying, but Ren Yingying blocked her with her arms, "Uncle Jia, how could Wan'er, the Yellow-faced Venerable who is so famous in the world, do such a conspiracy and sneak attack?"

Jia Bu said: "That... eldest lady, you... step away and don't wade into the muddy water."

Ren Yingying: "Uncle Dongfang asked you and Uncle Shangguan to give me gifts. How come you accepted the bribe from Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan Sect and actually harmed the leader of the Hengshan Sect?"

Jia Bu said: "What does this have to do with Zuo Lengchan? I followed the secret order of the Eastern leader to capture Linghu Chong and bring him to the main altar."

Ren Yingying said: "Nonsense! The leader's Black Wood Order is here." As she spoke, she raised her right hand high to let the congregation see the Black Wood Order in her hand. When the Moon God Cult members see him, he will be captured and killed immediately, and he will be rewarded heavily!"

Jia Bu was furious when he heard this and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"

Ren Yingying's voice was even louder: "Did the Eastern Cult Leader tell you to kill me?"

Jia Bu said: "How dare you disobey the leader's order..."

Ren Yingying interrupted Jia Bu and said, "Uncle Shangguan, if you take down the traitor Jia Bu, you will be the elder of Qinglong Hall!"

Shangguan Yun's expression changed several times, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

But Jia Bu knew that he could not delay any longer and ordered again: "Fire the arrow!"

But Ren Yingying had always had prestige among the followers of the Sun Moon God Sect, and she held the Black Wood Order, so no one dared to be rude to her, and there was a stalemate for a while.

Suddenly, Lord Linggui, someone suddenly shouted: "The water is flowing, the water is flowing."

Everyone looked down, and sure enough, the fire was flashing, the black smoke was thick, and there was a fire under the attic.

Ren Yingying suddenly shouted: "Jiabu, your conspiracy has been exposed and you want to burn all your old subordinates to death?"

Jia Bu said angrily: "You are misleading the public with your evil words!"

Ren Yingying ignored Jia Bu, and instead shouted to the surrounding believers: For thousands of years, we will rule the world! For the members of the Sun and Moon God Sect, the leader of the Eastern Cult has an order: Go down quickly and put out the fire.

After saying this, without waiting for the congregation to react, they rushed forward, followed closely by Linghu Chong and the other three. In an instant, the three of them had crossed half of the flying bridge and rushed into the Linggui Pavilion.

But there was one person who entered Linggui Pavilion one step ahead of them, it was Li Shi.

As soon as the flames came out, Li Shi fought his way up from the mountain road. The poisonous water bows and arrows were all near the flying bridge. In front of him were the twenty strong masters of the Demon Sect.

If they were on open terrain, these thirty strong Demon Cult masters would be able to resist Li Shi for a long time if they cooperated with each other. However, the mountain road was narrow and only two or three people could fight Li Shi at a time. And this level of Demon Cult masters were in front of Li Shi. , it’s really not much more difficult than chopping melons and vegetables.

In "Xia Ke Xing", the assassin is described as "killing one person in ten steps". At this time, Li Shi achieved "killing three people in one step". When he climbed up the steps of Linggui Pavilion, Li Shi took eleven steps, and thirty-one people were lying behind him. Every corpse was killed with one sword.

Li Shi killed these thirty people almost instantly. By the time Linghu Chong and others rushed into Linggui Pavilion, Li Shi had already fought against Jia Bu.

Linghu Chong rushed to the throne of Emperor Zhenwu, picked up a candlestick, shook his right arm, and flung the candle away. He then used the candlestick as a sword and prepared to kill.

But when he turned around, he found that the only ones still standing in Linggui Pavilion were himself, Master Fang Zheng, Taoist Priest Chongxu, Ren Yingying, and Li Shi and Jia Bu who were fighting together.

It turned out that in the few breaths he was looking for a candlestick to use as a sword, Fang Zheng and Chongxu had already taken action like lightning, taking care of the twenty crossbowmen with their bare hands, and none of them survived.
