Chapter 1163 Assassination

The moment the three of them rushed into the black mist, three more sword qi roared from different directions, but Huang Xi reacted quickly enough to make these three sword qi fall into the air.

It was pitch black in front of her eyes, Huang Xi's hand tightly grasped Su Chen's arm, and pulled him to rush into the depths of the black mist, turning around, and soon even Su Chen was dazed, not knowing where he was at all up.

"A person from Lingjian Peak?" Xue Honglian's voice came, with a very dignified tone.

Huang Xi said: "I don't know, it's all possible. In fact, at first I thought you would be the one who made the move."

Su Chen frowned slightly: "What's going on?"

Only then did he feel that Huang Xi had been protecting his safety all along. She had known that someone would come to assassinate Su Chen, so she maintained the highest vigilance along the way, so that she was able to make the first move at the moment of the attack. Fastest response.

"Let's find a safe place first."

Huang Xi walked through the black mist with ease, and soon led the two of them to a low-lying cave, blocked the only entrance and exit of the cave, dispelled the black mist and ignited a flame, and regained visibility.

In the narrow cave, the three of them sat on the floor, Su Chen and Xue Honglian were looking at Huang Xi, waiting for her explanation.

Knowing that she couldn't hide anymore, Huang Xi sighed helplessly, looked at Su Chen and said, "From the day you became the elder of Ke Qing, I knew that there would be people in the Lingshan Sect who would not tolerate you, and it would be a matter of time before you were assassinated. The great elders are all suspicious. The killers just now were fierce with their swords. They seem to be disciples of Lingjian Peak, but don't be fooled by appearances. Your potential enemies now are definitely not only Lingjian Peak, but everyone other than me and my empress. The entire Lingshan sect."

"Kill me, what good will they get?"

"From the surface, killing you can vacate the position of the elder Ke Qing, there will definitely be huge benefits, but this is all the surface, the actual core of the problem... Forget it, it's all like this, there is nothing you can't say, in fact Assassinating you is only a secondary purpose, the real purpose is to test your empress."

Hearing this, both Su Chen and Xue Honglian's eyes widened.

"Who is so bold, dare to test Empress Xuanji?"

"It's very complicated. This has a lot to do with the current situation of the Lingshan Sect. The seven elders have secretly reached an alliance, which has formed a check and balance on Mistress Xuanji. From the outside, it seems that Mistress Xuanji leads the Lingshan Sect alone, and her authority cannot be challenged. The Lingshan sect is controlled by the seven elders, and all the disciples belong to the sect of the seven elders. Because the empress did not like to manage the affairs of the sect in the early years, she left a curse, which led to a serious separation of powers. Now the rights that have been distributed are difficult to recover. .”

Su Chen still didn't quite understand, but Xue Honglian seemed to have noticed something.

"So the empress sent you to guard Elder Su to protect him? The empress already knows that someone is going to harm Elder Su?"

Huang Xi nodded in acknowledgment.

"No wonder you rushed over every time I called you. I thought you were fascinated by me. It turned out that you were arranged by the empress, so I dare not refuse." Su Chen said with a wry smile .

Huang Xi gave Su Chen a white look: "When is it, are you still in the mood to joke around?"

Su Chen shrugged: "Let's liven up the atmosphere, I'm a little embarrassed to see that you are more nervous than me."

With that said, Su Chen turned around and looked at Xue Honglian: "Since the other party is coming after me, Xiao Honglian, you should go first. If you go alone, the other party will not embarrass you, but it is too dangerous to follow me. gone."

Xue Honglian immediately refused: "No, I will not leave. Since I have encountered this matter, I must not just sit idly by. No matter who wants to kill you, I will stay and protect your safety. This is Xue Honglian The principles of life, fight against injustice, punish rape and eradicate evil, do not hesitate!"

She is really a chivalrous woman.

Huang Xi said: "You can't leave now even if you want to, the other party will definitely kill you if they see you."

"Better, now we are on the same boat, and I have no reason to leave alone." Xue Honglian was not afraid at all, full of courage.

As the youngest Qi Tianjing of Lingshan School, it is normal for her to have such courage.

"Stab!"

At this moment, a sword roared.

Without saying a word, Huang Xi directly pushed Su Chen away. At the same time, the sword energy with the intention of lore slashed across, directly cutting a deep bloodstain on Huang Xi's body, and the blood spattered immediately.

"It's highly poisonous!"

Xue Honglian was shocked, and saw that Huang Xi's wound began to fester at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the poison penetrated into Huang Xi's eyebrows in an instant, once the poison invaded the sea of ​​consciousness, she would definitely die.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Su Chen directly played a resurrection card on the spot, instantly restoring Huang Xi to her original state.

Huang Xi came back from the ghost gate, her face was pale, but before she could speak, the second sword intent roared again.

"Thousand Machine Shield!"

Xue Honglian made a decisive move, and sacrificed a strangely shaped shield to block Su Chen in front.

boom!

The shield was directly bombarded by the sword energy, making a muffled sound, and shattered on the spot, but barely blocked the attack of the sword energy.

"What a strong sword intent. The opponent's cultivation base is no less than mine, and there are so many people that we can't love to fight. Let's retreat to the third floor of Tongtian Tower."

"good!"

The other party can easily find their hiding place in the black mist. It can be seen that the hidden effect of the black mist has been cracked. In this way, the environment of the black mist is not good for them. Can be attacked passively.

The most important thing is that it is not conducive to Su Chen's time stop.

If you can't know the number and whereabouts of the opponent, even if Su Chen casts time stop, if you can't find the opponent, you can't fight back.

Holding Huang Xi who was still in shock by the waist, Su Chen and Xue Honglian quickly broke through the black mist, ignoring the attacks of the surrounding beasts, and ran directly up the mountain.

But at this moment, a swordsman with a silver mask had already blocked the way. He was like a thousand horses with a single sword, and his sword intent was so strong that it even surpassed Ye Changshu.

Once the opponent strikes a sword, Xue Honglian is also hard to resist.

Su Chen made a decisive decision and directly used time to stop.

Under the rule of time, all beings are equal, and the swordsman fell into a frozen state instantly.

Of course, Xue Honglian beside Su Chen couldn't move either.

Su Chen picked up Xue Honglian as well, and went straight to the swordsman, wanting to lift off the silver mask on his face to see his true face, but his body protection was too powerful, and even contained sword intent, so Su Chen just approached , was passively attacked by sword energy, and had no choice but to give up.

Pushing his feet hard, Su Chen quickly rushed to the top of the mountain and stepped on the steps leading to the third floor.

Entering the third floor, in front of you is a snowfield of snow and ice. Looking around, there is a vast expanse of whiteness, and severe cold hits your face.

Su Chen rushed into the blizzard, and then the cover of the blizzard disappeared.
