Chapter 645 It was You

The scene that was happening in front of Shan Tian was absolutely out of his expectation.

The whole Shan family was like the fish in the moat that suffered from a fire on the city gate. They were completely befuddled by these turns of events.

Fortunately, Young Master Wei Ximin did not ask the Shan family to fight.

Otherwise, with the strength of the Shan family, they were destined to be cannon fodder. In such a battle, they would definitely be blasted into ashes, leaving behind not even a complete piece of them.

However, the changed situation still made all the members of the Shan family tremble with fear.

Shan Tian held his daughter tightly in his arms and stood in front of his wife to protect her.

In the face of a confrontation between such forces, what the Shan family had gotten was far from enough to keep them intact. Nor was the strength of the Sword of Freedom.

All that Shan Tian had counted on was the Ghost Qi and the Yin Qi in the area near the Ghost Rally Star. However, with the Dark Yellow Army cast by the Dark Yellow Army, the Ghost Qi and the Yin Qi were completely driven away, which meant that Shan Tian’s most useful and handiest “weapon” had dissipated.

With the cultivation at the peak of the Mortal Realm, he was as negligible as a grain of sand on such a battlefield, not worth mentioning at all.

He was not sure whether he could keep his wife and daughter safe.

No eggs could survive when the nest was knocked off the tree.

“Hero Wild Broadsword, I’m so sorry. This time, I’m afraid I can’t go to the Cliff of the Living to pick you up.”

He gave a wry smile in his head.

The only thing he could do in this situation was perhaps to wait and see.

Painful howls continued to ring out in the sky.

Clusters of blood blossoms bloomed.

More and more cultivators lost their lives in the war and fell from the sky.

The cultivators of the major sects like the Heavenly Devil Sect had run amok in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region all those years. It could be said that no one dared to upset them. They were superior and prestigious. But at this time, they were slaughtered as if their lives were not worth a straw. Their bodies were pierced by blades, and their blood splashed across the sky.

The eyes of Young Master Wei Ximin were cold.

He didn’t have the slightest bit of sympathy for the dead cultivators of the various sects.

“What a bunch of losers!” he muttered softly.

From the opposite side, the great army of the Dark Yellow Army continued advancing.

The killing intent of their fighting formation flooded over.

The soldiers in silver armor marched in the air and drew nearer to their opponents step by step.

Their paces were in uniform, causing even the void between heaven and earth to vibrate.

The major sects kept losing ground. Their rout was as irreversible as a landslide.

However, there was no sign of anxiety on the face of Young Master Wei Ximin.

Ten figures in black armor appeared behind him, guarding him from the left and the right. Each figure was wrapped in a suit of strange armor, and even their faces were masked. They were emitting faintly discernible dark mist as if they were 10 spectral shadows.

“Aren’t you going to take action yet?” Young Master Wei Ximin abruptly asked.

His voice was very soft. His question came out of the blue, which was kind of bewildering.

Shan Tian and the others were all taken aback.

“Who?

“Who is going to take action?”

The expression on Dao Lan’s face changed.

He sighed helplessly and remarked, “So you’ve long found it out.”

The countenance of Shan Tian and Shan Yunxiu slightly altered. They both turned to look at Dao Lan in disbelief.

Dao Lan took a few steps forward, shielding all the members of the Shan family behind.

An indescribably powerful aura flowed out of Dao Lan’s body.

“How did you find out?” Dao Lan asked, staring at the back of Young Master Wei Ximin.

Young Master Wei Ximin turned around with thinly veiled sarcasm at the corner of his mouth. Then, he said, “How did I find out? Haha, back then, you, known as the number one genius of the Dark Yellow Army, got beaten by me like a dog. If it weren’t for your loyal guards risking their lives to hold me back so as to send you away, do you think you could survive till today and show up in front of me again?”

“It was you?” Dao Lan’s face suddenly hardened.

He stared fixedly at Wei Ximin and said in a deep voice, “You were the man who waylaid me that night, weren’t you?”

Young Master Wei Ximin looked at Dao Lan and said mockingly, “Tut, tut, tut. Poor guy. After so many years, you still don’t know who snapped your backbone that night and cut off the love that you would rather die to protect and have wound up hiding in the inferior world like a dog. It’s really pitiful.”

Dao Lan’s eyes turned as scarlet as blood, and his chest was almost filled with fury. “It was you. That night, it was you.”

Memories of the past flashed before his eyes one after another.

He, who had agreed to elope with his love of life, went to the cold moon tree with several guards. However, on the way, he and his men were ambushed. The strength of his opponent was terrifyingly strong. Even though he was known as the top genius of the Dark Yellow Army who was already at the peak of the Soldier Realm at that time, he was still not a match for the assassin. He didn’t even get to see the assassin’s face clearly.

In order to live up to his love of life, he fought desperately and refused to retreat. In the end, he was seriously injured.

At last, those guards who were as close to him as brothers didn’t hesitate to take the enemy down along with themselves. Almost all of them died in that battle to let him survive.

Not long after that, the base of the Dark Yellow Army where he was stationed was also occupied by another force and everyone there was slaughtered.

His strength was greatly slashed and he got caught in a space-time crack before eventually landing on the Divine Land.

He had never told this heart-wrenching story and his intense hatred to anyone else.

Dao Lan might appear to be easy-going and slothful, but it was not that he had forgotten his past. Instead, it was too hard for him to forget the indelible battle that happened that night.

It was just that he didn’t even know who was the one who launched the sneak attack on him that night. So, how could he take revenge?

This time, he finally recovered his strength and walked out of the Divine Land. Then, he contacted the remaining members of the Dark Yellow Army, and his fighting spirit was rekindled by the project of revitalizing the army.

Later, he visited the Shan family and was finally forgiven by his old lover.

The reason why he set Wei Ximin up this time was that this big devil’s hands were stained with too much blood of the brothers in the Dark Yellow Army and he was a zealot of slaughtering sinners in the Ziwei Star Zone.

But to his great shock, Wei Ximin turned out to be that man who assassinated him that night.

New hatred had piled on the old.

“Get ready for self-defense.” Dao Lan pressed his palms together in front of his chest and then slowly pulled them away from each other.

In the brilliance, a long sword materialized from his palms.

The sword light flashed.

In an instant, Dao Lan waved his sword countless times.

The blurred sword light was like the rain in September in the south of the Yangtze River, which looked sadly beautiful and mysteriously hazy.

The two black-robed guards who had rushed over to protect Wei Ximin were instantly reduced to puffs of smoke and dissipated in the sword light.

The Sword Intent had been released.

“Protect Young Master!”

The other eight guards in black darted over as fast as a whirlwind.

Eight long black spears were extended as if eight flood dragons darting out of the sea with roars.

“Ride a white crane in the misty rain.”

The momentum of the sword in Dao Lan’s hand changed, and there seemed to be a white crane from a Taoist temple flapping its wings in the misty rain. The eight black spears were instantly broken into pieces and turned into black dots. The limbs of the eight black-robed guards were also sliced and dislocated. As soon as their blood spurted out, it was wrapped by the rain and carried out of the deck.

“Losers!”

Young Master Wei Ximin just watched his 10 guards be killed by Dao Lan in an instant, and he did not intend to save them at all.

“That year’s top genius of the Dark Yellow Army was indeed a bit impressive. You’ve also gotten a hang of the South Dynasty’s Misty Drizzle Sword, the move of the Divine King of the Dark Yellow Army. Unfortunately, you were defeated that year and your pursuit of the Great Way was suspended. Although you started again, you are still a fry cry from me.”

Wei Ximin pointed with one finger.

The sword light flashed at the tip of his finger.

The misty rain all over the sky immediately dissipated, as though the sun reappeared in the sky and the sky became clear after the rain.

Dao Lan grunted, stepped back, and a trace of a blush streaked across his face.

Wei Ximin had had everything under control. He then said confidently and candidly, “That year you were no match for me, let alone now.”

Dao Lan didn’t say anything.

Each of the patterns on the stone sword in his hand glittered with brilliance.

“The Southern Dynasty’s Misty Rain covers19 States.”

Dao Lan wielded his sword again.

The sword light turned into a rainbow, and a vast amount of Qi surged out of the misty rain.

A lot of people couldn’t help but think of the vicissitudes of life.

The Sword Intent had an influence on people’s minds.

But Wei Ximin smiled faintly and pointed again. “The devil snake comes out of the abyss, spraying its poison to the world... Break!”

The misty rain instantly dissipated.

A jet of sword light flashed in Wei Ximin’s hand.

Dao Lan was sent flying backward. His Taoist robe was torn into pieces, leaving his upper body exposed. There was a shocking slice on his abdomen, as if a huge red-purple centipede was wrapped around his waist.

“Look out!”

Shan Yunxiu flung herself over and supported Dao Lan.

“Your injury... What on earth happened that night?”

Shan Yunxiu was very smart. From the previous conversation, she had already guessed some truth. It was not until this day that she learned that Dao Lan didn’t mean to stand her up on the night they agreed to meet at the cold moon tree. Instead, he had nearly died on the way to meet her.

She had blamed him unjustly.

Dao Lan had restored his cultivation and continued to follow his old path. He had walked out of the Divine Land, surpassed the Soldier Realm, and entered the General Realm. However, he still hadn’t recovered from the old injury. From this appalling scar, one could tell how badly he was injured that year.

Dao Lan patted her hand and said, “It’s fine. It’s all over.”

He then darted his eyes to Wei Ximin and said, “Even if your strength is extraordinary, so what? You are gonna die here today.”

Wei Ximin said with a half-hearted smile, “Oh? Really?”

He raised his hand and gave an order.

All of a sudden, a buzzing sound could be heard from the four surrounding flying ships. Immediately, scarlet portals of tactical deployments appeared on the deck of the flying ships.

Soldiers in black armor came out through the scarlet portals like endless tides.

In the blink of an eye, there were already thousands of them.

An even larger army instantly appeared in this area.

Dao Lan’s face instantly turned pale.

“Did you think I wouldn’t be on my guard after recognizing you?” Wei Ximin sneered and said, “You thought you got the best chance to ambush me, but you didn’t know that I was also fishing, did you? Huh?”

Dao Lan glared at him without saying a word. But in fact, he had already sent out a series of signals.

Wei Ximin turned a blind eye to him and continued, “Do you know why I didn’t kill you a moment ago?”

Before everyone could react, Wei Ximin beckoned to Shan Tian. Shan Tian instantly felt something had been lifted from his hand. Then, his daughter, Shan Xuan’er, who had been held in his arms, shrieked and appeared in Wei Ximin’s hand.

“Let me go...” The little girl struggled.

Wei Ximin said in a sentimental tone, “What a lovely girl! Should she call you uncle-in-law? She could have lived a happy life, but because of you...”

“Crack.”

Shan Xuan’er’s neck was broken.

Before the little girl could let out a scream, she already died on the spot.

The scene seemed to freeze at this moment.

The eyes of Shan Tian and his wife, as well as Dao Lan and Shan Yunxiu, widened in horror. Their minds and thoughts were frozen at this moment. Something seemed to have been extracted from their souls.

Beaming, Wei Ximin said, “Do you think I’ll let the Shan family off the hook? Haha, do you feel very painful now? Don’t worry, this is just the beginning.”

He smiled like a fiend.
