The Great Wild God - Chapter 176

Chapter 176 Ku Nu Helped Defend
(Dark clouds obscure the stars and moon, but the distant sky flames at the summit of the Tu Mountain still wipe the brilliant purple light on the desert sand sea, never sinking.

In the dungeon of Crimson Maple Castle, hundreds of bitter slaves were squeezed together on dirty grass mattresses. Bedbugs were crawling all over the ground. Only three inches square holes above their heads were connected to the ground, allowing fresh air to penetrate through the lights of Crimson Maple Castle.

Slave Ku was also divided into three grades. A cultivated Slave Ku like Chen Xun naturally had the qualifications to lie comfortably beneath the vent. There was also a good piece of grass mattress in the surroundings. No Slave Ku didn’t squeeze over without opening his eyes.

Chen Xun’s mind spread out, and he could sense the restless emotions of the cultivators and stewards guarding the castle, and he was terrified of the unpredictable fate.

Chen Xun clasped his head and pillowed his head. Like the other bitter slaves in the dungeon, he had nothing to worry about the fierce battle between Mount Qiyun and the Thousand Swords Sect.

Whether it was Qiyun Mountain guarding Scarlet Maple Castle or being taken down by the Thousand Swords Sect, they were inseparable from these bitter slaves when they thought of quarrying stones to build castles and digging mines.

There were also quite a few bitter slaves whose eyes were filled with faint excitement. They secretly connected and planned to escape while Crimson Maple Castle was under attack.

Chen Xun hesitated in his heart. It wasn’t that he had a good impression of Qiyun Mountain, but other than Crimson Maple Castle, he couldn’t find a place to hide, cultivate spiritual energy, and purify spiritual veins.

At the same time, if Crimson Maple Castle was truly destroyed by the Thousand Swords Sect, the Thousand Swords Sect would definitely conduct a thorough examination of all the bitter slaves and use other methods of control. If Chen Xun wanted to stay, it would be very difficult to guarantee that his horse legs would not be exposed during this process.

The reason Chen Xun was able to easily sneak into Scarlet Maple Fort’s ranks of bitter slaves was because Wei Che, the direct disciple of Mount Qiyun, was too proud and disdainful of personally executing his mental arts on the captives. That was why Chen Xun was able to easily sneak through. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to conceal his cultivation in front of Wei Che, who was at the peak of the late Reincarnation Realm.

Crimson Maple Castle suddenly trembled, almost turning the entire ground upside down. Some bitter slaves were caught off guard and were thrown high into the air by the tremor. The bricks and stones above their heads fell, causing everyone to cry out for their parents.

Chen Xun saw a corner of the night sky outside Scarlet Maple Castle shining brightly through the small ventilation hole. Sword shadows crisscrossed, and a panicked scream came from outside the small ventilation hole.

“Not good, the people from the Thousand Swords Sect are attacking again!”

Chen Xun’s mind trembled. He ignored the other wolf howls and ghost cries. The bitter slave who avoided falling stones retreated to a corner of the dungeon. He sat down cross-legged and undid the magic of concealing his spiritual veins. He gathered spiritual energy from the Profound Ice Fire Lake and refined the Heart Binding Talisman that the disciples of Mount Qiyun had cast in his body.

Whether to leave or stay could depend on the situation and wait for an opportunity to move, but in a critical moment, he could not leave this restricted toy in his body.

“Wu Xun!”

A loud shout came from outside the dungeon door. Chen Xun was shocked. He raised his head and saw two stewards of Crimson Maple Fort shouting loudly outside, urging the guards to open the iron door of the dungeon.

Chen Xun hadn’t expected such bad luck. Just as he refined the Heart Servicing Talisman, the steward of Crimson Maple Fort ran down to look for him. He quietly condensed two sword scriptures in secret. If something was wrong with the two stewards, he would kill them out of Crimson Maple Castle without any hesitation.

The two stewards called out their names next to the cell and called out, “Your chance to make a success has come. As long as you can help defend Crimson Maple Castle, you will definitely report to the sect in the future and relieve your hard labor. However, I don’t think you guys need to remind me of the power of the Battle Heart Talisman anymore …”

Chen Xun didn’t expect that the two stewards would come down to the dungeon to ask them to help defend Crimson Maple Castle. He sneered in his heart. Crimson Maple Castle had already reached the point where he wanted bitter slaves to help defend. It could be seen that they wouldn’t be able to defend for long.

Chen Xun had no good impression of Qishan Yunshu. How could he risk being exposed to help defend Crimson Maple Castle? However, thinking that this was undoubtedly an opportunity for him to escape, he was not afraid that he would be discovered to be abnormal for a moment. For the time being, he stood still and climbed out of the dungeon with the other 17 or 18 bitter slaves and followed the two stewards to the high wall.

It was less than two kilometers away from the other side of the Stone Stream in Scarlet Maple Fort, Thirty to forty Thousand Sword Sect cultivators dressed in vermilion and yellow robes charged at the defensive formation with their magic tools. The spiritual light from the magic tools collided with the five-colored restrictive light from the formation, causing thunderous explosions and fireworks to shine in the darkness of the night.

Under such a fierce attack, the defensive restriction of Crimson Maple Fort seemed to be in danger. The five-colored Spiritual Light Shield formed by the restriction fluctuated endlessly. It looked like it could be broken at any time, much weaker than when it was activated last time.

The six Qiyun Mountain Castle-keepers were all standing on the high wall, looking at this scene with solemn expressions. In order to minimize the direct attack of the Thousand Sword Sect’s hostile defensive formation, an old man dressed in a long white robe took the lead in releasing a green jade pearl. After flying out of the defensive formation, it suddenly grew larger, like a full moon shining with green light, blocking the flying swords of the Thousand Sword Sect disciples behind the formation.

Chen Xun estimated that the Thousand Sword Sect had sent out twenty Reincarnation Realm cultivators this time, and four or five of them were late Reincarnation Realm cultivators. Compared to the first surprise attack, their combat strength had almost doubled.

The defensive formation of Crimson Maple Castle was still lacking. Chen Xun didn’t think that with six fortress-guarding cultivators, he would be able to defeat the Thousand Swords Sect’s onslaught. Even though a middle-aged cultivator dressed in a scholar’s robe repeated the manager’s words after they stepped onto the high wall, and he even promised them bitter slaves that as long as they helped defend Crimson Maple Castle, they would have the chance to join the Qiyun Mountain Sect. Chen Xun was only secretly pondering how to escape.

The Qiyun Mountain Sect did not send reinforcements at this time. Either the Thousand Swords Sect had used the Crimson Maple Castle as bait and set up a heavy force halfway to kill the reinforcements sent by the Qiyun Mountain Sect, or the Thousand Swords Sect had directly sent their men to surround the Qiyun Mountain Sect, making it impossible for the Qiyun Mountain Sect to send reinforcements.

No matter what, Qiyun Mountain itself was hard to protect. At this moment, even his life might not be able to be saved. Even if he had the chance to join Qiyun Mountain, it would not be too tempting.

However, Chen Xun and the other bitter slaves obediently received the weapons sent down by the cultivators guarding the castle.

“What kind of weapon are you good at?”

“Sword.” Chen Xun said as he received a black iron heavy sword from the middle-aged cultivator.

The middle-aged cultivator dressed in scholar’s robes, holding a purple fan with a green jade handle, and two other young Reincarnation Realm cultivators brought Chen Xun and the others down the high wall and sneaked out of the secret door of Crimson Maple Fort. They split into three groups and surrounded the other side of the stone creek.

After advancing to the Reincarnation Realm, cultivating spirit power, imperial magic tools, sword arts, magic techniques, and power was far more powerful than wandering cultivators at the True Yang Realm. However, when it came to physical strength, other than cultivators who took the path of the Fiendgod Body Refinement, ordinary Reincarnation Realm cultivators were not much stronger than cultivators at the Azure Yang Realm or Barbarian Martial Arts.

Chen Xun could understand the middle-aged scholar’s intention to stealthily surround them. After getting close, he would engage in close combat with the Thousand Sword Sect cultivators. However, he didn’t understand how confident the middle-aged scholar was that the Thousand Sword Sect cultivators weren’t on guard, so he told them to approach quietly.

Even though the middle-aged scholar had promised to kill one enemy and enter the sect, Chen Xun still kept his eyes open. Holding the black iron sword in his hand, he quietly lagged behind the encirclement team.

Just as he crossed the stone creek, a huge ring of fire suddenly rose from the center of the valley in front of him.

The pillar of fire rose up and was 70-80 feet long. The two Ku slaves at the front were caught off guard and immediately burned to ashes. They didn’t even have time to let out a miserable scream.

Although the fire ring array temporarily set up by the Thousand Sword Sect did not take root in the spirit veins or spirit acupoints and could not last for too long, it was enough to warn them. In the blink of an eye, the Thousand Sword Sect cultivators split out dozens of sword lights from the magical artifacts that attacked Crimson Maple Fort and slashed towards them …

The current Slave Three or Five Ku was immediately cut into pieces by the sword light, and his head was cut into pieces. Chen Xun used the black iron as a shield to block the sword light from coming from behind him. He took the opportunity to roll down the stone stream and avoid the sight of the Thousand Sword Sect cultivators.

The black iron sword in his hand split into two, and a small amount of sword qi invaded his body. Chen Xun quietly vaporized the sword beneath the potential stream. He was not sure if he should continue to pretend to be a corpse and hide in the stream, or follow the other bitter slaves back to Crimson Maple Fort.

The Thousand Sword Sect cultivators noticed that Scarlet Maple Castle’s bitter slaves had come out of the castle to surround them, and immediately sent their sword beams over.

The Thousand Sword Sect used the name of the sword, and the sword qi of a peak Azure Yang Realm disciple was extremely fierce. The sword radiance used by a Reincarnation Realm cultivator was even more capable of cutting through all mortal iron.

A bitter slave in Crimson Maple Castle was actually able to shatter the sword radiance with ordinary iron. How could he not be at ease if he didn’t personally see such a person die?

Chen Xun was still hesitating when an Ancient Green Mirror flew over the stone creek. A bright light shot out from the Ancient Mirror and landed directly on his body through the stream.

Chen Xun felt as if he was being watched by others after stripping naked. As his mind rotated, he left behind a divine soul shadow in his original location, and his true body dived another zhang into the water.

In the next instant, the Azure Spirit Ancient Mirror shot out a streak of lightning that pierced through the stream, directly dispersing Chen Xun’s Soul Shadow. The surging water immediately crushed a piece of dead wood in the stream.

Chen Xun was secretly shocked. He didn’t expect this ancient mirror magic tool to be so powerful. If it wasn’t for his smarter brain, he would have been forced to reveal his tracks.

Only seven or eight bitter slaves remained to flee back to Crimson Maple Fort, but the middle-aged scholar and the other two guarded cultivators did not leave. Chen Xun was secretly curious. He thought to himself that the middle-aged scholar had the cultivation of the middle stage of the Reincarnation Realm, while the other two were younger and advanced to the Reincarnation Realm. It was impossible for the Thousand Sword Sect to silently kill them just like that, right?

Just as Chen Xun was unable to catch and grind through, a phoenix cry suddenly sounded from the west bank of the Stone Stream. A gigantic fire bird rose from the red maple forest on the west bank and pounced towards the Thousand Sword Sect cultivators in the valley 200 meters away.

It was already too late for the Thousand Sword Sect cultivators to withdraw the magical artifacts above Crimson Maple Castle. They immediately took out other magical artifacts to defend against the fire bird, and the fire bird pounced over the canyon with a loud roar. It opened its mouth and spat out countless rains of fire to submerge the canyon …
