Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 110 Fierce Battle at Three Barriers, a Secret Maneuver
Fengyun Mountain Path is divided into three passes. In order to relieve the siege of Xuanzong, the righteous people joined forces with the holy monk Fei Siliang and the monks from all directions to re-enter the Dao Realm and break through the three passes.

As the Ancient Dust Sword was drawn, the peak of the Daoist sect broke into the Desolate Path. Sword Immortal Step stepped in, and the scene before him changed drastically. The night was dark, the wind was high, and the moon was bright. Scattered cherry blossoms exuded a bloodthirsty killing intent. Yuan Huo Tianhuang turned the bow into a blade, and its extreme speed was unleashed in the blink of an eye, leaving the Daoist no time to catch his breath.

"Oh dear." Following the Daoist's thoughts, the Ancient Dust Sword blocked Yuan Huo Tianhuang's attacks one by one, and Sword Immortal still had three parts of his strength left to remain calm.

"The swordsmen of the Demon Realm are quite enthusiastic. Then let Sword Master experience their skills."

"I'll teach you with my life." Yuan Huotianhuang's voice was gloomy, and he suddenly increased his speed by three points.

At the beginning of calamity, the way of killing begins. Heavenly desolation, bow and sword dance with flowers and kills, ancient dust, peerless, braves the perilous pass!

On the other hand, the dim red moonlight reflected the dark red armor, the clouds were ethereal, and the wind howled fiercely. This was the most dangerous part of the three passes, the place where the gods had no way.

The Divine Path, though named a fortified pass, is actually a perilous place with only a single log as a foothold. Jiu Fangchi flew in and stepped onto the log bridge. The woman opposite him had half her face covered by a black veil. She held a thin sword in her hand, exuding a chilling killing intent. Knowing that she was no ordinary person, Jiu Fangchi dared not be careless. He played the zither and strummed the strings, displaying his superior Taoist skills and remarkable foundation, and engaged in a duel with Bie Jian Kuanghua. Bie Jian Kuanghua remained silent, but her killing blade pressed down on him. Her nimble figure moved with ease on the Divine Path. As soon as they clashed, the Taoist felt extraordinary pressure. The dangerous terrain of the Divine Path made Jiu Fangchi's every move precarious, and he fought a bitter battle.

In the third stage, Mimi Feisiliang and Canbo Sifangseng, two eminent monks from the Holy Land, also faced extraordinary opponents.

In the path of Shesheng, a streak of purple lightning flashed past, and a giant wolf beast carrying a person descended from the sky. The person's eyes were sealed with curses, and he wore a black robe and wielded a black halberd. With a single move, the two monks retreated.

“The boy who has been granted amnesty!” The monks from all directions frowned.

Back when the Holy Domain participated in the war between the Dao and the Demons, the two had fought against Shesheng Tongzi more than once. At that time, many monks of the Holy Domain were killed by the Wolf Smoke Halberd. Now that their nemesis is facing off again, even the two eminent monks, who are highly cultivated, cannot help but feel anger.

“A person from the Holy Realm.” Shesheng Tongzi tilted his head slightly, and the wolf-smoke halberd in his hand, accompanied by purple lightning, fell down, and the sky and earth within Shesheng Dao were instantly plunged into darkness.

"Demon, how dare you run rampant!" Fei Siliang shouted, joining forces with the monks from all directions to attack.

For a moment, purple electricity flashed incessantly as the two monks unleashed their sacred techniques, attacking Shesheng Tongzi from both sides. The Buddhist martial arts were transformed into boundless, pure Buddhist energy, aiming to transform the world and dispel karma, their supreme techniques attempting to break through Shesheng's illusions. However, the purple electricity not only failed to weaken but gradually strengthened, resisting the erosion of the Buddhist energy. The combined attack of the two monks was insufficient, and they were instead swept back by Shesheng Tongzi's halberd. Seeing the ferocity of the demon, the two monks each unleashed their ultimate true energy techniques.

"The broken bowl transforms the world!"

"The Palm of Deception and Confusion!"

The two monks' palm strikes instantly merged into the Three Thousand Buddhist teachings, carrying with them a clear, cloud-piercing aura. The purple lightning array activated by the Shesheng Boy collapsed instantly under this attack, and the Thunder Wolf Beast, which leaped to block the attack, was forced back several steps.

"Roar!"

With a single wolf howl, the boy named Shesheng vanished without a trace before the two monks' eyes.

"what?"

"Where is he... something's not right!" The monks of the four directions instantly became alert, and a murderous aura suddenly rose within She Shengdao. The wolf-smoke halberd, mixed with purple lightning, fell down instantly, heading straight for Fei Siliang.

"Think carefully, be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shesheng Tongzi brandished his wolf-smoke halberd and slammed it down from the height. Although Fei Siliang was reminded, he was still caught off guard and blood was drawn in the first exchange.

Shesheng Tongzi turned around and attacked the monks from all directions again. Amidst thunder and lightning, the two monks were already engaged in a fierce battle as soon as they clashed.

While the three battles raged on, Mu Shaoai quietly concealed himself and arrived outside the seal of Fengyun Mountain. Taking advantage of the fact that the three guards were all tied down, he attempted to probe the Xuanzong headquarters. "Oh dear, all the passageways are blocked. This is truly a test of my wall-climbing skills."

Taking a few steps at a time, occasionally listening to the sound, Mu Shaoai took out his water pipe and tapped it on the ground after confirming the location. A crack appeared on the ground, and Mu Shaoai's figure turned into light and disappeared into it.

Meanwhile, the three battles continued in full swing, with no sign of the fighting ceasing.

……

"Managing multiple lines of operations, it seems that even in the Otherworld, it is difficult to be all-encompassing."

Inside the pawnshop, the Water Mirror Technique reflected the changes in the battle situation at the three passes, and even Mu Shaoai's actions of taking advantage of the opportunity to enter the Xuanzong were clearly seen.

Bei Chenyin shook his head, judging the otherworldly demon realm's tactics. If their attention hadn't been diverted, the otherworldly demon realm wouldn't have overlooked such obvious small actions by the righteous path.

"But it will be difficult for the righteous path to escape unscathed from this battle." Deng Jiuwu's gaze fell on Sheshengdao. Facing the two monks of the Holy Domain, Sheshengtongzi had clearly gained an absolute advantage in the battle. It was even difficult for the two of them to escape the battle now. The only way was for one of them to cover the rear and buy time for the other to escape Sheshengdao. But it was obvious that neither of them would choose to do so. So the only possible outcome was that the two of them would die together.

Even if the righteous plan succeeds, it will still come at a considerable cost, which shows the strength of the Otherworld.

After the others, Yan Qingcheng sat beside Li Xuanxiao, pouring him tea. Over the past few days, she had gained a clearer understanding of what kind of pawnshop it was, and also learned about the extraordinary backgrounds of the other people inside.

A fugitive from a prestigious martial arts family...

A swordsman with extraordinary talent...

A powerful minister of the dynasty, a ruthless hero...

The infamous, bloodthirsty villain who was renowned throughout the Northern Martial Arts World...

These people are just ordinary employees in this pawnshop. So what kind of incredible background and identity must the pawnshop manager have, and why would he open such a pawnshop?

Yan Qingcheng had many doubts and curiosities in her heart, but she was a smart woman after all, and she did not insist on verifying her curiosity.

She was well aware that although Li Xuanxiao had given her a certain degree of autonomy, she was essentially no different from Bei Chenyin and Deng Jiuwu; she simply had the right to leave at any time.

At that moment, the wind chimes outside the pawnshop swayed, and a name appeared in the sky above Youjian Pawnshop.

"A Letter of Heartbreak"

Li Xuanxiao raised an eyebrow as he looked at the name he hadn't seen in a long time. Back then, she had used a letter of severance and her appearance as collateral to obtain the truth and clues about the bloody case from that year. Li Xuanxiao promised that he would only accept the pawned items after she verified them. Time has passed since then, and the pawn shop's contract has not been activated yet, which means that there must have been more twists and turns in this matter.

"Let's go, Yan Qingcheng."

"Yes."
