Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 107 Thousand Coffin Mirage
The north wind howled, the sky gradually brightened,
The heavy snow fell heavily, covering the entire valley in an endless expanse of white. The vast number of martial arts sects hurried through the valley with quick steps, but their pace was slowed down by the flying snow.

The valley was empty, and the clatter of horses' hooves sounded like winter thunder.

At the front were people on horseback from various major sects. They were moving at a fast pace and had already entered the center of the valley, leaving a considerable distance between them and the people behind them. At the very back was the carriage of Gu Mo and his group.

This time, the person in charge of driving the carriage was not Gu Chudong, but a bodyguard from Changfeng Escort Agency. There were also several people from Buer Villa traveling with him. Together with the people from Changfeng Escort Agency and the Tang family, there were nearly twenty people in total.

In the carriage, Yan Sanniang was taking a nap, while Gu Chudong was sitting opposite Yan Sanniang. She was not sleeping, but had her head down, thinking about something. Gu Mo was sitting cross-legged at the back of the carriage, with his hands on his knees, practicing his internal energy.

The series of battles last night consumed the most of his internal energy in history, and he needed to deliberately circulate his internal energy to restore it.

In the carriage, there was silence.
At a certain moment, Gu Mo slowly stopped practicing.

Gu Chudong immediately raised his head and asked, "Brother, are you recovered?"

Gu Mo nodded slightly.

Although he had consumed a lot of energy last night, both the Mingyu Gong and the Jiuyang Divine Art were the kind of martial arts that could recover extremely quickly. Even if he didn't practice them intentionally, they could recover automatically. And the speed at which he recovered was naturally very fast.

Yan Sanniang lazily opened her eyes slightly, a little surprised, and said, "You fought so hard last night, how come you recovered so quickly?"

Gu Mo nodded slightly.

In fact, he had recovered long ago. The reason why he was still in the state of practicing internal energy was because he had gained a lot from the battle last night. Although he had already practiced both internal skills to perfection, the battle last night still made him make some progress. However, this progress was not in the martial arts itself, but in his own control over internal energy. He had more experience, especially in the subtle aspects, and had greater experience and understanding in the precise use of internal energy.

Just along the way, he was constantly absorbing and consuming this harvest.

In short, last night's battle,
It allowed him to gain some insights and make a breakthrough in his understanding of martial arts.

There is no limit to this kind of understanding. As the saying goes, you never stop learning as long as you live. It is like reading. Even if you read the same book over and over again, you will always get a different understanding at some point.

The same is true for martial arts.
Different people and different periods have different understandings of the same martial arts, regardless of whether it has been fully mastered.

"Where are we now?" Gu Mo asked.

Gu Chudong said, "This place is called Luoying Valley. It's said that after passing this valley, it's only about three or four miles to Qiandeng Town. However, by the time we get there, I'm afraid that the disciples from various sects who stayed in Qiandeng Town will have already gone to Nanting Villa to fight Nie Dongliu."

Yan Sanniang chuckled and said, "They can't wait for us to arrive. According to the time, the people from the major sects should have arrived at Nanting Villa by now. After the battle at Fengming Ferry ended, the major sects sent pigeons back to Qiandeng Town.

Although the main leaders of the major sects are here, they have left prestigious people in Qiandeng Town. Moreover, Qiandeng Town still has three Grand Masters, so it won't be a leaderless drag. Especially since Sect Master Qi is still there, he only needs to say a word to get the major sects in Qiandeng Town organized, so it won't waste much time in organizing the manpower in Qiandeng Town.

"That's right," Gu Chudong nodded and said, "Besides Sect Leader Qi, there's also Sword Master Li Qiuyu and Sword Maniac Wu Liuzhi. If they go to defeat Nie Dongliu, it will definitely be quick. However, I'm worried that Nie Dongliu will escape."

Yan Sanniang said, "Where else can they go? The worst that can happen is they can go to the White Tiger branch of the Moon Worship Sect. But all the martial arts heroes gathered this time to attack the Moon Worship Sect. Adding Nie Dongliu won't have much of an impact, and Nie Dongliu's apostasy won't stop the war between good and evil."

at this time,

The carriage suddenly stopped, the body shook violently, and a commotion was heard outside the carriage.

The neighing of horses rose and fell, sharp and frantic, startling the withered flowers from the branches. Mixed in with the shouts of people, there were cries of fear, and angry shouts, the sounds overlapping and surging like a tide.

Immediately afterwards, the clanging of metal clashing, the whistling of weapons cutting through the air, the muffled thud of flesh colliding, and the howling of pain, all kinds of sounds intertwined, and the sound of fighting instantly filled the entire valley.

Before Gu Mo and the others could ask, there was a sharp whistling sound and a feather arrow shot into the carriage through the wind.

Gu reacted very quickly, reaching out and grabbing it firmly.

But in a blink of an eye, sharp arrows came like locusts, covering the sky and the earth.

Gu Mo's heart trembled, and without thinking too much, he stretched out his long arms, held Yan Sanniang with his left hand, hugged Gu Chudong with his right hand, and used his light skills to fly out of the carriage as fast as a swallow skimming the water.

He tapped the ground lightly with his toes, and with a few leaps and bounds, he dodged beside a boulder. At the same time, he spun around, using his strength to pull the carriage over, using it as a barrier. Arrows struck the carriage with a thud, wood chips flew, and the sound was rapid, and the valley was already in chaos.

Gu Chudong and Yan Sanniang leaned against a boulder and looked over, only to discover that Moon Worshipers had swarmed over both sides of the valley, densely packed like ants clinging to a wall. Their bows were drawn to the limit, and their arrows rained down upon the valley floor, accompanied by the sharp gust of wind.

In the valley, the martial arts sects were caught off guard and were in chaos. War horses were neighing and running away in panic. The dust raised by horses' hooves mixed with blood, making the ground muddy. People dodged, some rolled on the ground, and some raised their swords to block. The sound of weapons clashing was endless in the panic.

For a moment, the valley was filled with screams, blood and flesh flying everywhere, and casualties were everywhere.

Gu Chudong was lying beside the carriage when she saw Tang Buyi running around in panic. She immediately took out a handful of steel balls and continuously shot out to knock away the arrows shot at Tang Buyi, shouting, "Tang Buyi, come this way!"

Tang Buyi seemed to have seen a savior and crawled over, while Gu Chudong kept shooting steel balls. Her finger-snapping skills were actually just at the entry-level level, but relying on the seventh-level Mingyu Gong true qi, she managed to make this technique, which was originally a hidden weapon, look like a fair and righteous iron-blooded one.

Under Gu Chudong's protection, Tang Buyi finally crawled over, slumped over in the snow, leaned his back against a rock, patted his chest and gasped, saying after surviving the disaster: "Oh, sister Chudong, you will be my aunt from now on. If it weren't for you, I would be dead!"

Gu Chudong teased, "Alright, my dear grandson, but your Tang family's Heavenly Star Swordsmanship is well-known in the martial arts world. If your father saw what you just did, he would beat you to death!"

Tang Buyi said, "I'm not cut out for martial arts. I know the manual of the Tianxing Sword Technique by heart, but I can't do it. The only reason I memorized the manual is to prevent the martial arts from being lost one day. I really won't be able to use a single move."

Gu Chudong smiled and said, "Don't lie there. There's room. If someone sees you, you'll become a living target."

Tang Buyi was startled and quickly stood up and moved to Gu Mo's side. He leaned out to take a look at the chaotic situation in the valley and said, "This is troublesome. The valleys on both sides are steep. Unless there are masters with exquisite body movements who can avoid the rain of arrows and rush forward to kill the archers of the Moon Worship Sect, otherwise, we will be trapped in this valley."

"Even the experts don't dare to charge," Gu Mo shook his head slightly, saying, "Because no one can guarantee that there aren't experts among the Moon Worship Sect. If we charge up now, we'll not only be sitting ducks, but we might also be ambushed by the Moon Worship Sect's experts."

"What should we do then?" Tang asked without hesitation.

"Wait," Yan Sanniang said from the side. "There are many trees and rocks in Luoying Valley. The people from various sects were just caught off guard and there was confusion. Now they have reacted and will quickly find cover. Besides, bows and crossbows are strictly controlled by the government. The Moon Worship Sect can't have too many of them, otherwise they would have attracted the attention of the government long ago. You know, secretly storing bows, crossbows and armor is tantamount to rebellion. The government won't care too much if it's a small amount, but if the number is large, the situation will be completely different."

The actual situation is similar to what Yan Sanniang analyzed.
At the beginning, because they were caught off guard, the various sects suffered heavy losses. However, after they reacted, they all looked for cover. There were many trees and rocks in the valley, so cover was easy to find. In addition, the Moon Worship Sect stopped after shooting a few rounds, probably because they had almost used up their arrows.

Then,

Flying ropes were dropped from the cliff, and many Moon Worshipers came down from the cliff. In an instant, shouts and cries of killing suddenly exploded like rolling thunder on the cliffs on both sides of Luoying Valley.

Hundreds of Moon Worshipers, clad in black robes, surged down from both sides of the valley like a surging black tide. They held sharp blades, their cold gleams illuminating their ferocious faces, and, swirling with billowing clouds of dust, their momentum was unstoppable.

All the martial arts sects rushed out to meet the enemy. In an instant, the valley was filled with flashes of swords and sabers, and the sounds of shouting and weapons clashing were intertwined, making the whole place deafening.

Blood splattered and mixed with the falling snow, dyeing the ground an eerie bright red. Masters from various factions displayed their unique skills, with fists whistling and swords flying, as the battle was in turmoil.

Gu Mo was a little embarrassed.

Because he couldn't see, in this chaotic fight, if he attacked, he would likely lose track of friend and foe. Luckily, with Yan Sanniang, Gu Chudong, and Ah Qi charging in, Gu Mo didn't need to intervene. The various martial arts sects and the Moon Worshiping Cult were locked in a fierce battle.

Just when the battle was at a stalemate, a strange sound suddenly came from the sky above the valley. Everyone looked up and saw nearly a hundred coffins flying down like black meteors. Those coffins were tied together with iron chains and fell heavily to the ground with a dull loud noise.

The moment it landed, the coffin shook violently, as if something inside was eager to break free. Then, mist with a pungent smell gushed out from the gap and quickly spread.

Wherever the fog reached, vision was obstructed, and everyone's vision was hazy. Coughs and exclamations were heard one after another. Some people accidentally inhaled it, and their limbs suddenly became weak and dizzy, and the battle situation became more chaotic.

Shang Buyu, who was just about to kill a Moon Worshiper, suddenly changed his expression and shouted, "It's the Thousand Coffin Mirage! Everyone hold your breath and quickly retreat from the valley!"

When Gu Mo heard this, he was slightly stunned.

Because he had heard of the Thousand Coffins Mirage, which was the signature skill of Ju Shanyin, the second most wanted criminal on Yunzhou's blacklist. People in the underworld said that if a thousand coffins emerge from the tomb, no one will survive!

……

The Thousand Coffin Mirage is notorious in the martial arts world.

When Shang Buyu called out the name of Thousand Coffin Mirage, everyone from each major sect looked terrified and stumbled back quickly.
When the Moon Worshipers saw this, they didn't chase after them, but just stood there. Then, strange laughter suddenly appeared in the valley, and the laughter echoed in the valley, adding a bit of eeriness.

Just when everyone thought they were out of danger, something even more terrifying happened. As if controlled by an invisible force, the coffins that had fallen to the ground slowly rose up, swirling in the air. Then, like cannonballs, they madly crashed into the people from various factions.

There were a few muffled thuds, and the last few disciples, unable to dodge, were struck by the coffins. They flew out and fell heavily to the ground, their lives unknown. Then, the coffin lids suddenly flew open, and a foul stench filled the air. Before anyone could react, the coffins opened like giant mouths, swallowing the people around them.

Everyone watched in horror, wanting to rush forward to rescue the person, but too frightened by the bizarre scene to dare approach. A moment later, the person who had been swallowed was "vomited" out of the coffin, but there was no trace of a living person left, only a pale skeleton. The empty eye sockets seemed to speak of endless fear. The scene was extremely terrifying and horrifying.

For a time,

A strange scene formed in this valley.
More than a hundred coffins were flying in the sky, and hundreds of people from the martial arts world were being chased and running for their lives. From time to time, some people were chased and swallowed by the coffins.

Shang Buyu, Wu Tianfang and other leaders of various sects all knew that this was not a solution and they had to find a way to deal with it, so they quickly gathered together tacitly.

"Everyone, we must break these coffins!" Shang Buyu said, "Otherwise, we don't know how many people will die. The key is that people died without even seeing the dark side of Jushan Mountain behind them."

"What's the solution?" Jiang Wanzhao asked.

Shang Buyu said, "I once heard my master say that the Thousand Coffins Mirage Qi in Jushanyin looks terrifying, but in reality, it's just a large coffin formation. A hundred or so coffins are connected together with fine steel cables. Then, a dozen or so martial arts masters who have practiced Mirage Qi hide in those coffins and control them, moving them according to a specific formation route. So, the Thousand Coffins Mirage Qi, although seemingly formidable, actually relies mainly on those dozen or so masters controlling it and the iron cables connecting the coffins."

Wu Tianfang said in a deep voice, "It's definitely impossible to deal with those people. There are more than a hundred coffins, but only about ten people. We can't be sure where they are hiding. Moreover, those coffins are made of fine steel, and they support each other. If one person is in trouble, many others will come to support him. Once we go in, we will be trapped. So, we can only cut those iron chains."

"That's right." Shang Buyu nodded.

"This..." Xiao Jinghong said with embarrassment, "Master Shang, before last night, I was confident that I could break those iron chains with my bare hands. But last night, I was seriously injured in the fight with Master Gu. Now, I only have 30% to 40% of my internal energy left, and I still have internal injuries. It will be difficult for me to break those fine steel chains."

The Feiyu Gang leader Chang Siye and Wu Tianfang both looked embarrassed. Their situations were similar to Xiao Jinghong's.

Several people secretly hated Nie Dongliu. If Nie Dongliu had not slandered Gu Mo, they would not have fought with Gu Mo to the death. How could they have fallen to this point? They didn't even see Ju Shanyin, and just these coffins made them helpless.

Shang Buyu said quickly, "I know, but you don't have to worry. The White Moon Sword in my hand is a divine weapon that can cut iron like mud. The Tianhan Sword in the hands of Jiang Daxia and the Wuqiu Sword in the hands of my junior brother Shen are also divine weapons that can cut through those iron chains.

However, this process requires your help, because when we cut the iron chain, we need to prevent other coffins from attacking, and we need you to cover us."

"no problem."

Several people immediately agreed, and Chang Si suddenly said, "By the way, Miss Yang Qingtong has a sword called Qiu Shui Sword, which is also a sword that can cut through iron like mud. Last night, I fought with her and was almost seriously injured by that sword several times."

Shen Bai suddenly said, "The Qiushui Sword is now in Gu Mo's hands!"

"Well, where is Hero Gu?" Shang Buyu suddenly asked.

Everyone was also confused.

At this moment, several loud noises of "boom", "boom" and "boom" suddenly came from the valley.

Everyone looked over quickly.

They saw Gu Mo and his group being surrounded by several coffins, and Gu Mo was slapping the coffins left and right. With every strike, a powerful dragon-shaped energy roared out, carrying an overwhelming force, like an angry dragon thundering, shocking everyone.

The coffin made of pure iron was as fragile as paper under the fierce palm wind. Several pieces of it were smashed into pieces.

Everyone was stunned with shock. Before they could come to their senses, they saw Gu Mo's figure flash, and his hands were like iron clamps, tightly grabbing several iron chains that had fallen to the ground.

Gu Mo took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, and then he roared, "Get down!"

The sound was like a huge bell, echoing through the valley, making everyone's eardrums hurt and terrified.

At that moment, Gu Mo's arm veins bulged, and his internal energy surged, pouring into his arms. With a roar that shook the valley, he planted his legs firmly on the ground, like the roots of an old tree, and exerted force with both hands, pulling backwards violently.

This pull seemed to change the world.

Suddenly, a fierce wind blew, sending sand and rocks flying. His long hair fluttered wildly, and his clothes rustled. Under the pressure of his overwhelming power, the more than one hundred coffins fell uncontrollably like kites with broken strings.

One after another, they hit the ground with a dull loud noise, like dumplings being dropped into the ground, rumbling and stirring up a lot of dust. Many coffins collided with each other, and then it was discovered that most of those coffins were actually covered with iron sheets on the outside and made of wood on the inside. There were not many coffins made of real fine iron.

The snow on the ground was stirred up by this powerful impact, and snowflakes flew up into the sky, like a sudden avalanche. Gu Mo stood in front of the avalanche, his long hair flying, like a Tai Sui on earth!
The coffins fell to the ground and began to shake wildly, as if there were corpses inside that were about to come back to life.

"Hero Gu is mighty!"

At this time, Shang Buyu hurriedly shouted: "My fellow Taoists, hurry up and cut off those chains!"

Immediately, Jiang Wanzhao and Shen Bai rushed out quickly, and some others with good quality weapons in their hands also rushed forward.

But in a moment,

Most of the iron chains connecting the coffins were cut off, breaking the chain formation, and the coffins that were shaking just now also stopped at this time.

The scene suddenly became quiet.
However, the atmosphere was very depressing.
And in the next moment, suddenly a dozen coffins flew up and rushed towards the people from various factions.
