At the edge of the thick smoke blown away by the breeze, three men in green clothes slowly walked over, causing Hong Zhan and his party to instantly feel like they were facing a great enemy.
"Young master, they are the disciples of the Pingnan Sect who guarded the rat hole before, and they were not buried alive?"
"After the mountain collapsed, they hibernated outside, observing us all the time?"
……
Several subordinates instantly guessed the origin of the three of them.
The three men in green clothes looked at Hong Zhan and his party with cold expressions, and the leader said coldly: "Why are you here?"
"Didn't you see it, we are digging the soil to save people." Hong Zhan said.
"Hmph, my master and the others are strong and can get out of trouble on their own, but they don't need you to save them. No, how do you know there is someone below? Also, are you related to the collapse of the mountain? Say!" The leader man pulled out his long sword and shouted coldly.
Hong Zhan shook his head and said: "Since you don't welcome us, then forget it, let's leave now."
"Let's go? Did I let you go?" The leader man sneered.
"Senior brother, what nonsense are you talking to this group of liars, a group of the heaviest wastes in the innate realm, just take them for interrogation, and kill them if they don't say anything."
"That's right, if they don't want to say it, we will kill them one by one to see how long they can be hard-mouthed."
……
The other two men in green clothes said coldly.
The leader nodded and said coldly: "Then take them down, and those who dare to resist will be killed directly."
"Yes!" The other two men in green clothes immediately jumped in two directions and surrounded Hong Zhan and his party.
"Do it." Hong Zhan said.
As he spoke, he rushed straight at the man in green clothes at the leader, and all his subordinates raised their swords to kill the other two.
"Looking for death!" The three men in green clothes all shouted in unison, each slashing at everyone with a sword.
The leading man looked arrogant, and when his sword slashed at Hong Zhan, he stared at Hong Zhan's eyes even more, he wanted to enjoy Hong Zhan's fear, and suddenly, he saw two red lights in Hong Zhan's eyes.
"Soul power?" He was stunned.
In an instant, Hong Zhan's soul power invaded his eyes, his soul trembled, and his spirit was in a trance. However, he also had soul power, instinctively resisted, and as soon as he was excited, he woke up.
However, the brief trance was extremely fatal, and Hong Zhan not only dodged one of his swords, but also slashed into his face.
"No!" He exclaimed.
With a bang, one of his arms was cut off by Hong Zhan.
On the other side, Hong Zhan's subordinates also split into two groups and slashed at the other two men in green clothes. There were two loud noises, swords collided, and a large amount of sparks were splashed, and both sides retreated, but no one could hurt anyone.
"This is impossible, aren't you the first level of the Innate Realm?" A man in green clothes exclaimed.
Hong Zhan and his party did not stop, and rushed forward to kill them again.
"Kill!" Hong Zhan slashed down with a sword, and with a whoosh, a cold wind swept away.
"Not good!"
The one-armed man grabbed the long sword and rushed towards him, with a bang, he was slashed backwards by Hong Zhan, his strength was not inferior to Hong Zhan's, but the wound of a broken arm and the blood burst out was extremely painful, and the cold wind was still stimulating the wound, so that he could not exert much power at all, and he was at a disadvantage in an instant.
He wanted to escape, but where did Hong Zhan give him a chance, he stepped forward again, slashed down with a sword, he could only raise his sword in a hurry to meet him, and just met Hong Zhan's eyes again. He instinctively turned his head to avoid it. However, he was already at a disadvantage, and if he ran away from the battle, how could he have any combat power?
With a bang, he was cut off in the head by Hong Zhan's sword.
"Senior brother!" The other two men in green clothes shouted in horror.
They turned around and wanted to run, but Hong Zhan had already turned his head and rushed over, instantly blocking a man in green clothes.
"Leave this to me, you deal with the other, don't run away for him." Hong Zhan said.
"Yes!" A group of Hong Zhan's subordinates responded.
Hong Zhan slashed down with a sword, and the man in green clothes greeted him with a sword, and with a loud bang, the man in green clothes was slashed backwards and flew out and fell to the ground fiercely.
"The sixth level of the innate realm? This is impossible." The man in green clothes exclaimed.
Hong Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly, he was only the fourth level of the innate realm, could his power reach the sixth level at this moment? But it seemed that the person in front of him didn't need to spend his soul power anymore.
He quickly stepped forward and slashed at the man in green clothes, and slashed down with a sword, dang, dang, leaving a large number of sword marks on the man in green clothes.
With a bang, the man in green clothes fell to the ground, unable to fight anymore, and shouted in horror: "I surrendered, don't kill me."
"You just said you wanted to kill us one by one." Hong Zhan said coldly.
With a bang, Hong Zhan slashed off the head of the man in green clothes with a sword.
With a scream, not far away, the last man in green clothes was also beheaded by Hong Zhan's subordinates, and the battle ended.
"Young master, we won." A subordinate said excitedly.
"Put their bodies in storage bags and take them away, don't leave any traces, and continue digging the hole immediately!" Hong Zhan ordered.
"Yes!" Everyone got busy quickly.
During this period, Hong Zhan was also observing the four directions, and could see that some of the collapsed areas had subtle vibrations, he understood that it must be the movement of the buried Pingnan Sect disciples who were saving themselves, his heart tightened, staring at the four directions defensively, ready to call everyone to evacuate at any time.
After a while, a surprise came from the deep pit: "Young master, I dug it."
Hong Zhan hurriedly jumped into it, and saw a woman lying covered in blood and dust in the center of a pile of earth and stones.
Zhou Jingxuan thought she was going to die here, but she didn't want to, the soil and stones on her head were actually pushed aside. She tried hard not to let herself fall unconscious, and with her tired eyes slightly open, she saw a familiar figure, it was Hong Zhan.
She was so weak that she only felt that she was gently picked up by Hong Zhan in the end, and then she completely fainted.
The surrounding ruins shook even more, and it was obvious that the other Pingnan Sect disciples who were buried were about to get out of trouble.
"Let's go!" Hong Zhan said.
"Yes!"
When they arrived at the forest, Hong Zhan took out a piece of black cloth, made a stretcher for Zhou Jingxuan, and carried Zhou Jingxuan, while the group continued to hide carefully in the forest.
As they left, they could see some immortal cultivators running towards the landslide ruins on the way.
They didn't linger, they ran for more than a day before stopping to rest in a hidden valley.
After bumping all the way, Zhou Jingxuan also woke up, but because she was too weak and didn't know what Hong Zhan and his party were going to do to her, she kept pretending to be unconscious.
However, her coma could not be hidden from Hong Zhan.
"Fairy Zhou, can you clean the wound yourself?" Hong Zhan asked Zhou Jingxuan.
Only then did Zhou Jingxuan realize that she was pretending to be unconscious, she immediately opened her eyes and said weakly: "Yes. But how did you find me?"
"You should clean it first, we'll talk about it later." Hong Zhan said.
Zhou Jingxuan said with a complicated expression: "Okay!"
"There is a pool in the valley, we have cleaned up the surrounding hidden dangers, there is no danger, you can clean it yourself, we will wait for you outside the valley, after you wash it, you can call us." Hong Zhan said.
"Okay!" Zhou Jingxuan nodded.
Hong Zhan immediately beckoned everyone to exit the valley, there was also a stream outside the valley, and everyone also cleaned it outside the valley.
Watching Hong Zhan and the others out of the valley very politely, no matter how stupid Zhou Jingxuan was, she understood that she was saved by this group of people.
Thinking back to more than a month ago, when she knew that she was deceived by Hong Zhan and his party, she was so angry at that time, and angrily denounced Hong Zhan and his party as liars in front of many people, but who would have thought that she was saved by this group of liars, which is really ironic.
She struggled to get up and looked down at the reflection in the water, only then did she realize how embarrassed she was, covered in blood and dust, and couldn't see a human appearance at all.
She walked into the puddle with difficulty, shed her dirty clothes, and washed the dirt off her body bit by bit, and after a while, she cleaned it up and took out a new purple dress from the storage bracelet and put it on.
Her lips were purple at the moment, not only her body was weak, but she also seemed to be poisoned, and the wide clothes in the bath just now seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and she sat on a big rock and gasped for a while when she went ashore.
After resting for a while, she looked at Taniguchi and shouted, "I'm fine."
At this time, Hong Zhan entered the valley alone, and as soon as he entered the valley, he saw Zhou Jingxuan who had just come out of the bath, with her hair sticking to her snow-white jade neck and cheeks.
"Fairy Zhou, are you feeling better?" Hong Zhan calmed down and walked over with a smile.
"What happened before?" Zhou Jingxuan's eyes were full of doubts.
Hong Zhan selectively and carefully described how he learned that she was going to be ambushed, how he found her location, and then used explosives to blow up the cave.
Zhou Jingxuan was also extremely smart, she heard a lot of implicit meanings from Hong Zhan's description, but these implications shocked her. She clearly remembered that Hong Zhan and his party were only the first in the Innate Realm, how could they defeat the immortal cultivators in the middle stage of the Innate Realm? What happened in the past month or so?
"What is explosive?" Zhou Jingxuan asked the key point.
Hong Zhan thought for a while, took out a small handful of explosive powder, and said with a smile: "Mortal things make you laugh."
Zhou Jingxuan took it and looked at it, and then saw Hong Zhan carefully igniting the small pinch of explosives. With a bang, the gunpowder exploded, shattering the stone chips below it.
"The power of this explosive is not great, but the amount of explosives used at that time was extremely large, so a big explosion was produced." Hong Zhan explained.
Zhou Jingxuan looked at the place where the explosion occurred, she could imagine the effect of a large explosive explosion, and she could see that it was similar to the principle of an alchemy blast furnace.
"During this time, did you use explosives to deal with monsters and seize cultivation resources on Ten Thousand Demons Island?" She asked.
"Not bad! Because of the explosives, I can barely protect myself and gain a little." Hong Zhan nodded.
Zhou Jingxuan understood the reason why this group of people improved their cultivation, but she also saw the disadvantage of explosives, that is, they had to be arranged in advance, otherwise they would not be able to apply them calmly during battle.
"Dynamite is not omnipotent, you are just an innate realm cultivation, knowing that you have to face a group of people from the True Sea Realm, there is a great danger of death, why do you want to save me?" Zhou Jingxuan asked with a complicated expression.
"Fairy Zhou instructed us to practice, and I want to repay Fairy Zhou's kindness in preaching." Hong Zhan explained.
Is it the grace of preaching? Zhou Jingxuan looked stunned, she felt that she had only done a trivial thing, and she had blamed and insulted this group of people afterwards. As a result, this group of people did not hesitate to risk their lives to rescue her for the sake of the little things in her heart?
Zhou Jingxuan was ashamed again and said gratefully: "If you hadn't risked your life to take action, I would have died, thank you for saving me."
"Fairy Zhou doesn't care too much, we just repay the favor, you don't owe us anything. Of course, if Fairy Zhou feels that she is really unhappy, can she give us some more guidance on our practice?" Hong Zhan smiled and said the request.
Hearing Hong Zhan's relief, Zhou Jingxuan became more and more grateful, and she immediately nodded and said: "When my injury recovers, I will give you good guidance."
