Chapter 2318 Hostages

Chapter 2318 Hostages

Dong Yang gave this human-faced moth to Qin Sang in order to deal with the current situation.

The two people trapped in the sword formation were forced out.

"Haha, it turns out they are the two fellow Taoists from Kang Hui Clan."

Qin Sang recognized their identities and backgrounds and smiled slightly.

He was still trapped in the cage formed by the rain, but he turned a blind eye to it. Instead, the two people opposite him looked nervous.

One of them wore a blue robe with complicated patterns on it, like rivers surrounding his body, and his name was Xuan. The other one was even more peculiar, with a blue and transparent body, including his hair, as if his entire body was made of water, and his name was Miao.

Both of them are powerful men in the Kanghui clan who are as famous as Jiumie and Jianji. Judging from some physical characteristics, Miao Ying is a female cultivator.

The Kanghui clan is one of the enemies of the Dongyang clan. It is said that the Kanghui clan members are born with the ability to control water. The clan’s heritage is also related to rain and water, and they are good at using water to perform magical powers.

The conflict between the two clans has a long history, but it is not because they cannot stand the Dongyang clan's closeness to the human race. Instead, it is because both clans trade with the human race and have accumulated resentment due to competition.

Before leaving, She Chen had reminded Qin Sang to be on guard against these two people. Their abilities were very suitable for assassination, and their life-saving skills were quite good. Even when facing a late-stage Lianxu strongman, they could hit the target with one strike and escape thousands of miles away, and the opponent could do nothing to them.

'puff! '

The water prison around Qin Sang was shattered, and the rain scattered like countless pieces, as if they were pierced and chopped into pieces by sharp swords, but no sword energy could be seen at all.

Miao sensed that the connection between himself and the water prison was easily severed. His heart sank and he glanced at Hyun beside him.

I saw more than a dozen streams of water coming out of Xuan's lower body, like transparent tentacles. These tentacles penetrated into the sea of ​​stars, but retracted as if they were electrocuted, and sank into the robe, transforming into Xuan's legs and feet.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xuan's body directly split into countless streams of water and fled in all directions. As long as he could escape from one of them, he would be able to get away safely.

Now all these water flows have been taken back by Xuan, which is obviously a failure.

Xuan looked solemn and shook his head slightly at Miao.

Miao looked at the sea of ​​stars and advised: "Elder Qin, you are not a member of the Dongyang clan, why bother to wade into this muddy water for them, if..."

Her voice was very strange, like a trickling stream, making it impossible for people to feel hostility towards her.

Before she could finish, she was responded with an earth-shaking roar.

The star fields in all directions emitted bright light and transformed into four sacred beasts. A terrifying and ferocious aura rushed towards them.

The two men's faces turned pale with rage. They were sandwiched between four sacred beasts, and what they felt was not the oppression of the sacred beasts, but an unprecedentedly powerful sword intent!

Different from the sword formation Qin Sang had used before, the sword intent contained the breath of a spirit insect. Before leaving, Jian Ji gave the spirit insect to him for safekeeping. Now this breath was released to confuse the real with the fake.

However, Miao and Xuan had no time to discern the source of the sword intent.

The four sacred beasts pounced at them together, as if four divine swords were slashing at them at the same time. The sword intent was everywhere, and each divine sword contained infinite changes, blocking all their retreat routes.

There is no way to avoid it!

There is no escape!

At this moment, both of them had a feeling that being pierced through the heart by thousands of swords would be their only fate.

'call! '

Xuan's robe fluttered, and four streams of water flew out from it, shooting towards the four holy beasts respectively.

There was a black line at the top of each water flow. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be four black centipedes swimming in the water with ferocious looks, like fierce hunters looking for prey.

'Snapped! '

The centipede's entire body stiffened, and then it exploded as if by a huge force, spurting out a stream of black liquid that instantly dyed the four streams of water into black poisonous water.

'puff! '

The poisonous water and the holy beast collided.

This poisonous water can even poison the enemy's spiritual treasures, but it has no effect on the holy beasts, and it can't even stop their steps. The essence of this is that the poisonous water is easily broken by Qin Sang's sword intent.

Seeing this scene, Xuan's face turned pale and Miao's face also changed color.

This made them realize the huge gap between themselves and their opponents.

Miao voluntarily gave up his magical powers, as even if he used them, it would not be able to change their situation.

She looked deeply at her companions, suddenly closed her eyes, and then her body swelled rapidly like a water ball.

……

Outside the battlefield.

In a river, ripples appeared on the calm surface of the river, forming a whirlpool in the middle of the river. A beautiful female cultivator was sitting cross-legged in the whirlpool.

She is Miao's real body, and the other one is her water body.

Miao's eyes were closed, and her breath rose and fell like the tide, as if she was performing some powerful secret technique. Not even she could conceal her breath, causing the river water to ripple.

'Crash...'

A torrent surged in the river and the angry waves hit the shore.

Suddenly, Miao groaned, and all the strange phenomena suddenly calmed down. Her figure appeared on the surface of the river, her face was as pale as gold paper, and her breath suddenly became very weak.

Not only did she sever her connection with the Water Body, she also sacrificed the Water Body to create a glimmer of hope for Hyun.

Doing so will inevitably come at a huge price. Even if one escapes, it will take a long time to re-condense the water body, which is comparable to a cultivator severing his Dharma body.

Fortunately, she did not underestimate Elder Qin and left her real body here, otherwise even this glimmer of hope would be a luxury.

Looking in the direction of the battlefield, Miao slowly sank to the bottom of the water.

This is her limit. If Hyun can't escape even after this, she can only blame it on his fate. There is nothing she can do.

In the water, Miao's body gradually turned into water, completely blending into the river and floating downstream.

The crisis seemed to be gradually going away, but Miao couldn't see that there was a butterfly on the river, with its wings fluttering, slowly following her, just as they still didn't understand why they were exposed!

……

In the sword formation.

Miao's water body expanded rapidly, and it was almost impossible to recognize the human form. It was like a huge mine on the verge of exploding.

Xuan knew that Miao was sacrificing the body of the waterway to create a chance for him to escape. With the sound of tearing silk, the robe was torn into pieces.

Under the robe, Xuan disappeared, and the robe turned into streams of water, some as thin as a hair and silent, and some as big as a surging river, flowing freely.

The water flowed in all directions.

Seeing that the water body was about to explode, the four sacred beasts suddenly turned into four streams of light, forming a giant star in the center of the sea of ​​stars.

This giant star was extremely dazzling, like the sun, stealing the brilliance of all the stars. Xuan sensed that the sword formation had undergone inexplicable changes, and the sense of crisis in his heart increased instead of decreased.

Suddenly, he saw that Miao, who was on the verge of self-explosion, was frozen. In his round body, the two inconspicuous eyeballs were wide open with fear in his eyes, as if he had encountered something incredible.

Immediately afterwards, a horrifying scene appeared in front of Xuan. A thin line appeared on Miao's body, and her body split into two halves, each falling to one side. The violent power brewing in her body disappeared without a trace, like a deflated ball, and was annihilated in the blink of an eye.

It was not until this moment that Xuan discovered a beam of starlight piercing through Miao's body!

This is the true power of the Four Symbols Sword Formation!

Qin Sang nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at the water flows, only to see that the water flows were still for a moment and then suddenly became violent, trying desperately to rush out of the sea of ​​stars, like madness before death.

A trapped beast will still fight!

Qin Sang's mind changed, and countless stars suddenly turned into countless star swords.

Ten thousand swords moved at the same time, and in an instant the sword formation was filled with sword energy. No matter how big or small the water flow was, it was strangled by the star swords and had nowhere to escape.

Streams of water broke one after another, until finally only one remained.

Xuan's body condensed out of the water flow again, and he saw a star sword piercing his forehead. He knew he was going to die, but he still wanted to fight to the death, but he saw the star sword suddenly stop in front of him.

The tip of the sword was so close that the coldness penetrated my skin.

"If you surrender now, you will suffer less," Qin Sang said calmly.

"You won't kill me?"

Hyun blurted out, and then fell silent.

He thought he was going to die, but when he saw the hope of life, his face changed constantly. Finally, he sighed, gave up resistance, and allowed Qin Sang to seal his cultivation.

'Shuh! '

Thousands of star swords transformed into a spectacular star stream and converged into a sword light, which swept Xuan up and escaped into the sky.

……

The river is mighty.

Miao went with the flow, gradually moving away from the battlefield, feeling a little relieved.

Deciding to sacrifice the body of the water channel, she cut off the connection and could not sense the situation on the battlefield. There was no news from Xuan for a long time, and she knew that she was in danger. She sighed secretly, full of hatred.

Suddenly, she felt as if she had hit something, and the river was cut off here.

She slowly surfaced and saw a man standing by the river. It was Elder Qin, who nodded at her with a smile.

Hyun stood behind him, his face full of humiliation.

Miao felt like she was falling into an ice cave. She suffered the backlash and had no strength to fight anymore. She was silent for a moment and slowly walked towards the shore.

"He who knows the times is a hero," Qin Sang said.

Ever since he discovered the enemy, he asked Tianmu Butterfly to pay attention to whether it was his real body or his Dharma body, and to look for the real body's breath everywhere, making sure that he could catch them all in one fell swoop before taking action.

"You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you," Miao said coldly, looking ready to be killed.

The Tianmu butterfly flew back to Qin Sang's shoulder and rubbed his cheek as if asking for credit.

"You will be credited as the first meritorious player this time. All the spoils of this battle will be used to buy you delicious food," Qin Sang smiled.

Miao and Xuan looked at each other, feeling bitter.

"Elder Qin doesn't want to kill us, does he want to trade us with his clan?" Miao asked carefully.

Qin Sang nodded, "Yes, living people are more useful than dead people."

Upon hearing this, Miao and Xuan felt relieved. Lord Wuzhu would definitely do his best to protect them. Even though they lost face, at least they saved their lives.

"In that case, Elder Qin, please allow us to pass on the message..."

"Not urgent."

Qin Sang interrupted Miao and pondered, "If the two of you suddenly disappeared, and it was in Guiziyuan, would Kang Hui send more people to rescue you? Haha, you two chose to act in Guiziyuan, which is really a brilliant move!"

"you……"

The two of them were shocked.

The strength of the people in front of them is unfathomable. I'm afraid that only Master Wuzhu can come out personally to rescue them.

Guiziyuan has a bad reputation. If they disappear in Guiziyuan, the clan will probably think that they have encountered an accident rather than been captured by mistake, and will send other masters to rescue them.

Thinking of the scene where all the masters of the clan were captured in one fell swoop, the two of them couldn't help but shudder.

This was indeed a brilliant move, but only for Qin Sang.

Two hostages are not enough. Tianmu Butterfly can't wait to catch up with his master. He needs more hostages and extort a large amount of treasures to help Tianmu Butterfly improve his cultivation.

Qin Sang discovered that the dispute between the Siwu clan and the Wu clan was a rare opportunity that allowed him to take action against the major clans without worrying about arousing public anger.

This is not the fog sea, Qingyangzhi is not here, there is no shackles, as long as he does not attract the powerful witches, he is not afraid of offending all the clans, the worst thing is to leave here. No wonder no matter what force, they are afraid of the devil who has no ties.

He cannot be a 'devil' as he has not found the ghost mother yet, but if he knows how to act and does not reveal his human identity, he can still blackmail the major clans.

For example, attract the pursuers and then capture them, and those clans can only swallow their anger.

Playing with the pendant in his hand, Qin Sang showed a smile that made the two of them shudder.

"My two fellow Taoists, please come to Guiziyuan to be our guests!"

Qin Sang sealed the two without saying anything, returned to the entrance, and carefully erased all traces of the fight.

In fact, the battle took place in a sword formation, and the outcome was decided in just a few rounds, leaving almost no trace.

When he returned to Guiziyuan with two hostages, She Shuang was waiting for him there, her heart full of worry.

Seeing Qin Sang's escape light, She Shuang stood up suddenly, only to see that Qin Sang brought two unconscious strangers with him. She was shocked and asked, "Could they be..."

Qin Sang nodded, threw the hostage to her and asked her to carry it, "It seems that we have to stay in Guiziyuan for a while longer."

He raised the magatama nest again, summoned the magatama bees, and continued his unfinished exploration, gradually entering the depths of Guiziyuan.

……

A few days later.

The entrance to Guiziyuan.

An entrance could be vaguely seen on the top of a mountain in the distance. At this time, two people appeared, a man and a woman, both of whom had reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

The man was handsome and the girl was pretty, and their facial features were somewhat similar, so they looked like a pair of siblings.

"The blood letter points to the depths of Guiziyuan. It seems that the two guys have also chased in," the man performed a secret technique, sensed for a moment, and frowned as he looked at Guiziyuan.

Xuan and Miao were ordered to assassinate the Dongyang clan witch, but they left the clan and disappeared without a trace. If the witch hadn't used a secret technique to confirm that they were still alive, we would have thought they were both dead.

He also suspected that the two guys might be captured alive, but he felt that it was impossible, and even if Lord Wuzhu took action himself, he was not sure that he could capture them alive.

Kang Hui confirmed the place where Miao and Xuan disappeared and urgently summoned them.

He only brought his sister with him on this trip, and it was obvious that he was confident in his own abilities.

"Brother, do you think they are stupid? Why don't they set an ambush outside and chase them in?" the girl said, pointing her finger at the entrance.

"That boy Hyun is stupid, but your sister Miao is much smarter than you. There must be a reason why they chased in. Maybe they saw some opportunity. Have you forgotten the legend of Guiziyuan?" the man laughed.

The girl was dissatisfied and snorted: "Brother, you always side with Sister Miao! What a ghost legend, it's not even groundless, and there is no strange phenomenon here..."

"I'll go in and take a look, you wait outside," the man leaped towards Guiziyuan.

"I'll go with you," the girl was about to follow, but was held down by a gentle force, and she jumped in anxiety.

"You'll only hold us back if you come in!"

The man mercilessly attacked his sister and made a joke, "If your elder brother gets stuck, you will need to ask the witch for help."
