In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 156 That Stunning Sword Light
Before coming to Bright Peak, Zhao Min had considered almost every detail of what would happen when they faced the six major sects after the Ming Cult was destroyed.

They even took special precautions against Shaolin and had people secretly keep an eye on Wudang.

But what I never expected was that both Wudang and Shaolin had managed to defend against it.

However, they failed to anticipate the emergence of Gu Shaoan from within the Emei Sect.

Before he was even twenty, his strength had already reached a level where even Fang Yeyu was no match for him.

You can imagine how Zhao Min felt facing Gu Shaoan's gaze at this moment.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a loud shout suddenly rang out as someone moved rapidly, their clothes tearing through the air.

Everyone looked up in alarm! They saw that the previously injured Jiu Mokong had somehow rushed from behind Wudang to Mo Shenggu's location, and a withered hand, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, had precisely gripped Zhang Wuji's right shoulder blade.

The moment he grabbed Zhang Wuji, Kumokong, channeling his true energy into his right leg, kicked Mo Shenggu in the waist as he turned around. Mo Shenggu only had time to block with his arm before being kicked by this kick, which contained all of Kumokong's life's power. His blood surged, and with a muffled groan, he was sent flying uncontrollably like a sandbag, crashing into the direction where Gu Shaoan was not far away.

At the same time, Kumokong suddenly swung his other arm, the wide sleeve of his monk's robe!
"Sizzle—!" A pungent, acrid red powder spread out and, driven by the strong wind stirred up by Kumo Kong, spread across the Wudang Sect's territory.

Without warning, Kumokong's figure rose from the ground, his feet creating two fine but clear ripples in the air, as if he were stepping on an invisible ladder, and he shot towards the entrance of the Bright Summit Mountain Path at a speed that was dazzling to the eye.

"Wuji!"

"Seventh Junior Brother"

After regaining their senses, Song Yuanqiao, Zhang Songxi, and others from the Wudang Sect exclaimed in surprise.

By the time the others realized what was happening, Kumokong had already rushed to the entrance.

"run!"

Just as Kumokong rushed toward the entrance to the mountaintop, his voice quietly rang in the ears of the Xuanming Elders and Zhao Min.

Upon hearing the sound, Lu Zhangke, the first of the two Xuanming elders to react, grabbed Zhao Min's shoulder with lightning speed, his hand like a ghostly claw. Instead of supporting her, he used hidden force to violently throw her forward.

Zhao Min felt a powerful force, and her delicate body was thrown precisely towards the mountaintop entrance like an arrow! Although she was in a disheveled state, she effectively widened the distance between herself and Gu Shaoan.

Instead of following Zhao Min, Lu Zhangke and Hebi Weng suddenly raised their famous weapons, the deer-headed staff and the crane-beaked pens.

However, just as the two raised their weapons, Zhao Min, who was flying in mid-air towards the entrance to the mountaintop, suddenly called out urgently, "The direction of the Emei Sect."

The two elders of Xuanming were extremely experienced, and the moment Zhao Min spoke, they immediately understood her intention.

Almost simultaneously, the two pressed a highly concealed trigger on their respective weapons and threw them at Abbess Miejue and Abbess Juechen, who were already channeling their true energy and preparing to charge towards them.

After throwing out the two weapons, the two elders of Xuanming didn't even look at the effect. They immediately used their full lightness skill to rush towards the entrance of the mountain peak without looking back.

The three of them moved extremely quickly, completing these tasks in less than two breaths.

After catching Mo Shenggu with a gentle palm strike, Gu Shaoan continued moving.

With a light touch of his feet, his body spun like a top, instantly covering a distance of five zhang (approximately 10 meters).

However, as the two weapons transformed into ghostly lights and rushed towards the Emei Sect, Abbess Miejue and Abbess Juechen used their lightness skills to move forward rapidly, their long swords already raised.

Just then, Gu Shaoan, Abbess Miejue, and Abbess Juechen all seemed to hear a "click-clack" sound, like the movement of a mechanism.

Upon hearing these sounds, Gu Shaoan's eyes narrowed.

Immediately, alarm bells rang in the hearts of Abbess Miejue and Abbess Juechen. They stopped abruptly, raised their swords, and unleashed sword energy towards the two weapons in the air.

The moment the sword energy touched the two weapons, the deer eyes on the head of the deer-headed staff and the beaks on the tips of the crane-beaked pens suddenly exploded.

After Lu Zhangke's weapon exploded, a dark green, highly toxic fumes, carrying a strong, sweet, and foul stench, instantly spread out like fireworks, rushing towards the Emei Sect members.

After Hebi Weng's weapon exploded, it transformed into hundreds of fine needles, as thin as cow hair and shimmering with a cold, eerie blue light, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound as they swept towards the Emei Sect members, including Abbess Miejue, Abbess Juechen, Zhou Zhiruo, and Yang Yan.

Its speed and coverage are so great that there is no way to avoid it!
Poisonous smoke concealed poisonous needles, and exploding weapons rushed towards the Emei Sect in an instant.

Just then, Gu Shaoan landed in front of Abbess Miejue and Abbess Juechen. Facing the swirling dark green poisonous smoke and the sky full of dark blue poisonous needles, Gu Shaoan's eyes were cold, and his abundant true energy surged in his chest! His right palm was like a divine monument that shook the earth, carrying a magnificent power that could crush everything, and he fiercely pushed forward into the void.

See the dragon in the field.

Accompanied by the roar of dragons, an unimaginably domineering and fierce hurricane rose from the ground, and the palm wind, as solid as a hurricane, rushed towards the poisonous smoke and needles in the air.

The dark green, highly poisonous smoke and the poisonous needles mixed in with it were mostly blown away by the violent palm wind and forcibly pushed towards the right cliff of the Emei Sect, disappearing in the deep valley wind in the blink of an eye.

However, during this process, some poisoned needles that could not be reached inevitably passed through the strong wind, passing over Gu Shaoan's head and sides, and continued towards the Emei Sect members.

But in the instant these poisoned needles pierced their bodies, the already prepared Miejue, Juechen, Yang Yan, and Zhou Zhiruo all raised their swords at the same time, and in an instant a solemn, misty green sword curtain appeared in front of them, like a thick layer of clouds rolling up from below.

However, both Xuanming Elders were at the Qi Condensation Realm, and their own strength was not bad.

Whatever the two might use as a trump card could not be an ordinary thing.

Therefore, after using the palm wind from the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to blow away the poisonous smoke in front of him, Gu Shaoan suddenly heard a muffled groan coming from behind him.

He immediately gripped the hilt with his five fingers, the sword flashing like stars, quickly blocking all the remaining poison needles before turning his head away.

Turning his head, Gu Shaoan quickly scanned the area and his gaze immediately settled on Abbess Juechen's tightly furrowed brows.

Moving my gaze downwards, I noticed that there was a patch of blood spreading out on Abbess Juechen's left shoulder.

Furthermore, several dark lines had appeared beneath the skin of Abbess Juechen's neck.

After tapping Master Juechen's arm a few times, Gu Shaoan immediately smelled a slightly sweet and fishy scent when he twitched his nose.

Using the ability to identify medicine by its scent, Gu Shaoan instantly understood what kind of poison Abbess Juechen had been poisoned with.

He then quickly turned his head and pressed several acupoints on Abbess Juechen's arm and body.

Because of this brief obstruction, Kumokong led Zhang Wuji through the mountaintop entrance.

Zhao Min and the two Xuanming Elders had also rushed towards the entrance.

Seeing that the three were about to leave in the next second, Gu Shaoan's eyes grew even colder.

The moment the true essence circulated, the toes lightly touched the ground, and the entire body spun like a top, instantly traversing a distance of several feet.

In just two breaths, the distance between Gu Shaoan and the two Xuanming Elders had already been halved.

Seemingly sensing the approaching wind behind them, the two elders of Xuanming couldn't help but turn around and look back.

When they saw Gu Shaoan approaching rapidly with icy eyes, the two were terrified.

The one of the two, Hebi Weng, growled, "Princess, go first. We'll stop him."

After saying that, Hebi Weng slapped Zhao Min on the back.

This palm strike may seem fierce, but it actually contains skillful techniques.

Under Hebi Weng's palm strike, Zhao Min's body flew forward three zhang (approximately 10 meters) at lightning speed, almost catching up with Jiumo Kong.

After seeing Zhao Min off, Hebi Weng and Luzhang Ke both turned around quickly.

However, just as the two turned around, they were shocked to find that Gu Shaoan had already rushed in front of them.

The next instant, as the longsword was drawn, a stunning flash of sword light suddenly appeared before their eyes.

The sword light was too fast and too sharp.

At this moment, both Lu Zhangke and Hebi Weng felt as if time itself had frozen because of the sword light.

Their lifelong combat experience, protective essence, and even their body's instinctive reflexes appeared so pale and sluggish in the face of this inhuman sword speed.

Neither of them saw clearly when the Heaven-Slaying Sword in Gu Shaoan's hand had been drawn from its sheath before they felt a chill rise from their throats. A distinctive "swoosh, swoosh" sound followed as two blades sliced ​​through flesh.

The next moment, two streams of warm blood, like tragic red lotuses blooming in an instant, gushed out from the almost invisible sword wounds on their necks.

"Hah...hah..." Two faint gasps, filled with disbelief and the rapid loss of life, escaped from their throats.

Immediately, two heads, each with an expression of extreme horror, flew off the body, trailing gushing blood.

Driven by powerful inertia, the headless body staggered forward two more steps before crashing to the ground like two puppets whose supports had been removed.

From drawing his sword to sealing his throat, Gu Shaoan's actions in killing the two Xuanming Elders were so short that they could hardly be measured in breaths.

It was also when he dealt with the two elders of Xuanming that Gu Shaoan's feet seemed to be rooted to the ground. He twisted his waist suddenly, and a spinning force like the tip of a whip rose from the soles of his feet and instantly transmitted to his right arm along his spine.

Immediately afterwards, he gripped the scabbard of the Heaven-Slaying Sword tightly in his left hand and thrust it forward with a sudden flick.

"Whoosh!"

The seemingly heavy Yitian sword sheath, infused with his true essence and Gu Shaoan's terrifying power, instantly slipped from his grasp, transforming into a golden-white lightning bolt that tore through the sky, accompanied by a sharp and piercing whistling sound, heading towards Zhao Min.

It was aimed directly at Zhao Min's head.

If Zhao Min is struck by this scabbard, the force contained within it will surely cause her head to shatter like a watermelon struck by a heavy hammer.

Feeling the terrifying, piercing sound like a venomous dragon biting at her back approaching instantly, Zhao Min's scalp tingled, and the shadow of death felt like ice water being poured over her head.

At this critical moment, Jiumokong, who was less than half a zhang away from Zhao Min, suddenly slowed down for a moment. When Zhao Min rushed past him, Jiumokong moved to the side and blocked her from behind.

However, as the scabbard of the Heaven-Slaying Sword approached, it did not strike Kumārajīva directly.

Just a moment ago, in the instant that Kumokong flashed away, he actually turned Zhang Wuji, whom he had been holding by the shoulder, and carried him on his back.

They actually used Zhang Wuji as a shield.

The next instant, the heavy Yitian sword sheath, as heavy as a meteorite, slammed into Zhang Wuji's lower back with the immense force of Gu Shaoan's swing.

The sound of bones breaking immediately came from Zhang Wuji's body. In excruciating pain, Zhang Wuji suddenly opened his eyes, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fainted again.

Even when he was unconscious, Zhang Wuji's face was full of pain.

Although the scabbard did not fall on Kumārajīva, the remaining force traveled through Zhang Wuji on Kumārajīva's back.

At the same time, Kumokong suddenly ripped off the dark, iron-like Buddhist bead chain engraved with dark gold Sanskrit characters that was wrapped around his neck.

Without even looking, he used all his strength to violently throw himself backward in the direction Gu Shaoan was chasing.

At the same time, Kumokong released his grip on Zhang Wuji's hands, letting him fall to the ground.

Without the weight, Kumokong raised his hand and pressed several acupoints on his body. With a low roar, his speed suddenly increased dramatically. He shot forward several feet like a bullet, then grabbed Zhao Min and rushed away into the distance at a speed far exceeding his limits.

Gu Shaoan's eyes narrowed, but he didn't have time to raise his sword to block.

"Whizzing!"

In an instant, it was as dense as a torrential rain and as swift as shooting stars.

Dozens of Buddhist beads, imbued with the profound true power of Kumo Kong and a trace of the fiery aura of the Flame Blade, exploded and split into hundreds of wood fragments that shot towards Gu Shaoan.

He immediately withdrew his left hand! His five fingers spread wide as if covering the sky, rotated counterclockwise once, and then pressed down suddenly after the true energy passed through his palm.

"Ang~"

A soft dragon's roar echoed from Gu Shaoan's body. His true essence, mixed with a special force that was both soft and strong, instantly condensed into three dragon-shaped energy streams, each ten feet long, which enveloped Gu Shaoan.

"The dragon appears in the field"

As the wood chips approached, these chips, carrying a sharp, piercing sound, seemed to pierce into a quagmire. The moment they touched the dragon-shaped energy surrounding Gu Shaoan, the energy was dissipated and scattered.

As the dust settled, Kumokong and Zhao Min's figures had already disappeared into the shadows of the winding mountain path.

The next instant, just as Gu Shaoan moved to the spot where Jiumokong had just stood and used his true essence to pull the scabbard of the Yitian Sword from the ground into his hand, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded.

"This guy actually has such a way to save his life."

Gu Shaoan had just clearly seen that after Jiu Mokong tapped his body a few times, his movement speed suddenly increased dramatically, even faster than when Gu Shaoan was using his full lightness skill.

Given the dramatic change in speed, Gu Shaoan was certain that Jiumokong was using a secret technique similar to "Heavenly Demon Disintegration".

Just then, figures surged out from around the corner like a swarm of fish.

Each of them carried a quiver of arrows on their back and held a longbow in their hand.

The moment they charged out, some of the archers had already drawn their bows and aimed their arrows at Gu Shaoan.

Seeing this, Gu Shaoan frowned slightly, bent down to pick up the unconscious Zhang Wuji from the ground, and then used his lightness skill to head towards the mountaintop.

After seeing Gu Shaoan leave with Zhang Wuji, the archers did not continue forward, but instead quickly retreated along the mountain path.

While Gu Shaoan was chasing Zhao Min and the others, the people from the six major sects also gathered towards the entrance to the mountaintop.

Just then, they saw Zhao Min's archers retreating.

Song Yuanqiao and the others quickly came forward. After Zhang Songxi took Zhang Wuji, Gu Shaoan quickly searched the corpses of the Xuanming Elders and found seven tiny medicine bottles, each about two inches in size.

After opening the bottles and identifying the required antidote by smell, Gu Shaoan used his lightness skill to return to the mountaintop.

At this moment, Abbess Juechen was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with Abbess Miejue placing her palms on Abbess Juechen's back to help suppress the poison.

Seeing Gu Shaoan return, Abbess Miejue asked urgently, "Well, did you get the antidote?"

"Got it." Gu Shaoan nodded.

After Abbess Miejue withdrew her internal energy, Gu Shaoan poured out three antidotes the size of mung beans from the medicine bottle.

After Abbess Juechen took the medicine, Gu Shaoan suddenly raised his hand and patted Abbess Juechen's shoulder. A black poison needle, already stained with blood, flew diagonally from Abbess Juechen's shoulder.

After meditating for a quarter of an hour, Abbess Juechen slowly opened her eyes.

The moment she opened her eyes, Abbess Juechen looked at Gu Shaoan with some guilt.

"I was careless for a moment and dragged you down with me."

In response to Abbess Juechen's words, Gu Shaoan smiled and said, "Uncle, you are being too polite."

Looking at the gentle and humble Gu Shaoan in front of her, Abbess Juechen didn't say anything, but she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Seeing that Abbess Juechen and the others had recovered, Song Yuanqiao quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you, Nephew Gu, for saving Wuji."

Gu Shaoan shook his head and said, "That monk used him as a shield to block my attack. Now his bones are broken and he is seriously injured. I hope Senior Song will not blame me."

Song Yuanqiao shook his head and said, "It's not my fault, Junior Nephew Gu. If anyone is to blame, it's us for being distracted and forgetting to guard the entrance to the mountain, which gave them an opportunity to take advantage of us."

In less than half an hour, the Ming Cult was destroyed, Zhao Min and others appeared, the wounded from the six major sects at the foot of the mountain were forced to flee to the top, Gu Shaoan made his move and Fang Yeyu appeared.

It's beyond a simple description of "twists and turns".

After a series of events, coupled with the terrifying strength that Gu Shaoan displayed, not to mention the leaders of the various sects such as Song Yuanqiao, even Miejue and Juechen, who had some prior expectations of Gu Shaoan's strength, were still taken aback by the powerful strength that Gu Shaoan displayed today.

Losing his usual sense of propriety, he unconsciously became a mere spectator, offering no help whatsoever.

Not to mention Song Yuanqiao, even Master Kongzhi of Shaolin Temple and the Five Elders of Kongtong were somewhat embarrassed at this moment.

　If all goes well, the next chapter should be around 9 PM! There's still more plot to be developed regarding Zhao Min, so she won't die for now!
