Chapter 281 Four or Five
No matter how much An Wuzhi cheated people for the sake of the sacred fire before, when people get along for a long time, they will have a certain sense of presence around them, and if it is less, there will be a sense of loss.
Despite this, Shi Chun still had no plans to retreat. Just because An Wuzhi had already died for this, he couldn't give up easily.
He is not like Xu Anchang and the others who would shrink back when faced with danger or because they are afraid of being exposed.
He will not leave easily until the outcome of the battle between Shu Daoshan and Bingjiao is decided. If Shu Daoshan can kill Bingjiao, he can prove whether there are five divine fires in Bingjiao's body. If there are, three of them will be his.
He is not afraid. He will definitely jump out to ask for it.
If it is proven that there are five sacred fires, then his cooperation with Shu Daoshan can continue. As for the conflict just now, it was purely due to Shu Daoshan's own misunderstanding, so he cannot be blamed.
In short, as long as he can help Shudao Mountain find more sacred fires, not only will Gu Lianni forgive him, but all the living disciples of Shudao Mountain will forgive him, and it will be useless for the dead to have any opinions.
Therefore, his attitude is very firm, and the more critical the moment, the more unstable people's hearts are, the more persistent he, as the head of the family, is and he should not be easily shaken.
Shi Chun changed the subject and said, "You five go and check if Xu Anchang and the others are still alive."
Seeing him like this, Chu Jingtang and others had nothing to say. Led by Wu Jinliang, they searched in the direction where the Siding Sect escaped.
What does it mean to fight to the death? At this moment, the Ice Dragon would fight to the death. Every time after being cut down with a shocking sound, it would fly up and attack again, and it would keep charging towards the Qinghong Sword Shadow with its whole heart.
When he rushed forward, he was knocked down, and then he got up again, over and over again.
Waves of shock continued to explode in the air and spread in all directions.
Gu Lianni, who repeatedly controlled the Qinghong Sword Shadow to kill, gradually became a little panicked. She found that every time she pierced the ice dragon with a sword, the ice dragon's wounds would heal quickly, as if it were immortal.
Although she could feel the Ice Dragon's attack power gradually weakening after repeated attacks, she could feel that the power contained in her "Qingpo Lianni Sword" was also getting less and less. If this continued, her magic weapon would most likely have to be deactivated.
From the name of the magic weapon, it can be seen that this weapon is related to her. This is the magic weapon that her father personally refined for her.
Fellow disciples also noticed something was wrong, and Yuan Yao shouted, "Uncle Master, this won't work, let's retreat."
Gu Lianni refused, "No, we have to find a way to collect the magic weapon of the Locking Yuan Array, otherwise it will be difficult for us to capture the Divine Fire later."
After hearing this, Yuan Yao also had a headache. Yes, without the help of the Locking Yuan Array, it would be very troublesome if he went back to search blindly like those small sects.
The problem is, the sect probably didn't expect that there was such an old monster in the Divine Fire Domain. It must have survived by avoiding the searches of many generations of Divine Fire Covenant members.
Pang Hou suddenly shouted: "Let me lend you a hand!"
As he spoke, he had already taken out a three-foot-tall pagoda, named the "Wanzi Samsara Pagoda". He held it out with one hand and cast a spell. Immediately, an orange-yellow light emerged from the pagoda, and the layers of eaves began to rotate rapidly.
Gu Lianni, who had killed the ice dragon with one sword, looked back and screamed, "No!"
But it was too late. The pagoda in Pang Hou's hand had already smashed down. Looking at Pang Hou's expression, he seemed quite ruthless and vowed to deal with that evil beast.
The tower's shadow, glowing with orange light, had already blasted towards the ice dragon that had fallen to the ground.
Bang! With a loud bang, a small hole was smashed on the scales of the ice dragon, and then it spun around, and then countless flying blades shot out from the tower, which were quite similar to wind scales, but the number was far greater than the number of wind scales, expanding like a tornado, covering the ice dragon's head and strangling it.
There was a burst of dense tinkling and clanging sounds. If any cultivator was attacked by this, he would probably be smashed to pieces, but the ice dragon could hardly be hurt at all.
"Take it back quickly!" Gu Lianni shouted again urgently.
Before she finished her words, the ice dragon raised its tail and swung it, knocking away many flying blades, and one of its tails hit the tower with orange light.
Boom! The tower flew away like a meteor, and the orange light was shot out directly from the tower, forming the shadow of a centipede with wings, which collapsed on the spot.
Then countless flying blades lost their balance in an instant and fell like rain.
Pang Hou screamed, "My tower!"
Quickly chase after the fleeting tower shadow.
All the disciples of Shudao Mountain felt very upset. Such a good magic weapon was destroyed by a single attack from the Ice Dragon, as if the spirit of the weapon had been shattered.
Yuan Yao was also a little speechless. Our magic weapons are of such a high quality that they can't defeat you at all. You are asking for it.
Gu Lianni had no time to think about these things. The Ice Dragon rushed up again. She could only raise the Qinghong Flying Sword and attack it again, knocking the Ice Dragon to the ground again.
After repeating this several times, Yuan Yao approached her and suggested, "Uncle Master, if Shi Chun can trick us, we can also use this method to trick others to come here. If we can use someone else's hand to kill the Ice Dragon, we can get our Locking Yuan Array magic weapon back."
Gu Lianni was overjoyed when she heard this. She raised her sword and killed the ice dragon again, then said, "Let everyone retreat first!"
Worried about her safety, Yuan Yao wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, he realized there was nothing he could do. None of the magic weapons in the hands of the others could suppress the ice dragon, so only the junior master could stay behind to cover their retreat.
"Retreat, retreat quickly, everyone retreat to the next target location first."
Under Yuan Yao's rush and call, a group of disciples from Shudao Mountain flew away quickly. Yuan Yao himself did not leave but stayed beside them.
The Qinghong sword rumbled and killed for a while, until it was sure that the fellow disciples had gone far away. Gu Lianni cut down the ice dragon with another sword and shouted, "Go!" The Qinghong sword returned to the sheath like a stream of light, and Yuan Yao also rode the Fenglin and followed in urgent pursuit.
The ice dragon that rose from the ground let out a roar, and the wounds on its body healed again. It swayed and flew into the air, actually flying into the sky and chasing after it.
It can actually fly.
When one's strength reaches a certain level, it is understandable that there are commonalities in certain aspects. The dark clouds in the sky are pushed away, cutting out the starry sky, and the huge body is chasing closely.
Shi Chun, who was watching from afar, was speechless. Did Shu Daoshan admit defeat and run away because he couldn't win?
Seeing that Gu Lianni could easily knock down the ice dragon with one sword, I thought I had a good chance of winning, but after all the trouble, she was exhausted.
This was a bit disappointing. Not only did he lose his manpower, but he also lost his divine fire.
Perhaps they saw the movement, and soon the Mingshan Sect's group also flew over. Wu Jinliang asked: "Chuntian, are you running away now?"
What a loss! Shi Chun muttered to himself, and asked, "Did you find it?"
Wu Jinliang: "We can't find him. There's no way to find him. Look at such a large area, with a lot of ice. Who knows where he is trapped. We called out in a low voice all the way, but there was no response. He is either dead or he ran away."
Shi Chun thought for a moment and said, "If they really wanted to run away, they must have gone to the Iron Forest. We can find out if we go back to the Iron Forest. If they didn't go back, they might have really gone here. We may have to come back to look for them later."
Wu Jinliang: "What are you looking for after you're dead?"
Shi Chun: "They should have magic weapons on them. I suspect that some of them are not weaker than the magic weapons of Shu Daoshan."
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of everyone present lit up.
Bang! Wu Jinliang suddenly clapped his hands and cheered, then turned to Haoji and said, "Hurry back to the Iron Forest to see if they have returned. If they haven't, come back and report immediately. If they have, you don't have to run anymore and can just wait for us there."
Chu Jingtang and Shen Moming wanted to leave this place and take the job, but Haoji didn't give them a chance to speak. He just said "OK" and ran away immediately.
As soon as he left, Wu Jinliang laughed out loud, "Why are you still in a daze? Go find them. Nearly half of the disciples of Shudao Mountain must have died here. Have you forgotten that they all have wind scales on their bodies? One wind scale can be exchanged for a mansion in the capital. Some people even have Qiankun bags on them. Everyone, how can you miss this opportunity to make a fortune given by God?"
This made several people's eyes light up, but Chu Jingtang was a little worried and asked, "The Ice Dragon won't come back, right?"
Little did they know that Wu Jinliang asked Haoji to go back to the Iron Forest to confirm because he was worried about this. He was afraid of wasting time on Xu Anchang and others, and he wanted to discover as many treasures as possible before the Ice Dragon came back. Of course, it would be best if the Ice Dragon did not come back.
The loss was not small, and Shi Chun also thought that this fortune should be made, so he said, "Don't worry, I'll keep you informed."
Wu Jinliang knew about the special ability of Shi Chun's right eye, and he chuckled, "With the big boss spreading the word, it's no problem. Even if the ice dragon comes back here, we can evacuate in time. Let's go, go, search quickly, and hurry up."
There are benefits, and that is still in spirit. A group of people quickly rushed to the center of the scene and started searching from here.
Shi Chun first flew into the air and used his right eye's special ability to observe, but he saw no signs of living people. The shadow of the dead body was too blurry and he could hardly see it, so there was no need to waste that time.
But his right eye could still see some things by comparing them with other things in the environment here, such as sandalwood gold, no matter whether it was scattered or concentrated, weapons, and metal materials such as wind scales. Careful comparison and observation on this ice field could reveal some clues.
So he was almost always accurate in his search, but he couldn't show it, and it was inconvenient for him to search for it himself. His main task was to observe the surroundings to prevent the Ice Dragon from coming back.
So he could only hint to Wu Jinliang and let Wu Jinliang find a way to guide everyone. Most of the time, he stood on a high place and looked out.
During the search, small cheers and laughter could be heard from time to time.
There were also sighs and groans expressing regret from time to time. Some wind scales were damaged by the ice attacks thrown by the ice dragon. They were difficult to gather and control, and the defective products were unusable, but they were all collected and someone could be found to repair them when there was a chance.
Anyway, after a while, everyone had at least one Wind Scale in their pocket, and they also found two Qiankun bags. Chu Jingtang and An Wuzhi each put one on their waists, and they all had smiles on their faces.
It is dangerous, but I have to admit that with this speed of getting rich, how many years would it take to accumulate money in the outside world? Maybe I can't earn it in my entire life.
As they searched, they gradually found the magical instruments of the Shudao Mountain Locking Yuan Array. Even if they couldn't be used, they were still treasures, so they put them away for now.
Shi Chun, who was looking around from time to time, suddenly found something wrong and wondered if he was dazzled. In the vision of his right eye, why were there five people working together to overturn the big ice block?
Now that Haoji is gone, there are only four of us left, right?
He immediately flew over and landed on a high lump of ice, looking down and identifying them one by one. He saw Wu Jinliang, Chu Jingtang, An Wuzhi, Tong Mingshan, and Shen Moming. Well, he counted on his fingers and found that there were indeed five of them, all of them were his own people.
But he always felt that the number of people was wrong. Later, his eyes were shocked and he finally figured out where the problem lay. His gaze was fixed on the cheerful An Wuzhi.
After confirming that it was correct, he jumped down and landed in front of An Wuzhi, and asked in surprise: "You are not dead?"
After these words were spoken, the other four were also stunned one after another, looking at An Wuzhi in dumbfounded state. They had forgotten when this guy appeared beside them. Anyway, it seemed like he had been busy with them for a while, and no one had reacted.
"Fuck." Wu Jinliang suddenly yelled, "An Wuzhi, how did you get back?"
An Wuzhi seemed to be a little confused about their reactions. "At the beginning, the fighting was too noisy. I didn't dare to move after flying out of the ice. Later, it calmed down, so I melted through the ice and got out. When I heard the churning noise, I came over. I saw that you were busy, so I couldn't just stand there and watch. How else could I get back?"
