Chapter 760 – A Massive Black Mountain (2/2)

No one fled. One by one, the soldiers began to pull out their blades and array themselves behind Chen Changsheng.

The general had An Hua watch over the young array master on the stretcher while he himself entered the pavilion and knocked Doctor Yang unconscious.

With a battle against demon experts about to begin, he would not allow any sort of unsafe factors to appear in his camp.

Zhusha glanced at the general, rather appreciative.

Chen Changsheng stared at the distant peak and sighed, ”I also didn't expect that I would meet you again tonight.”

A bit more than a year ago, his last appearance for the eyes of the people was in a pitched battle between the humans and demons. At that time, he had brought Zhusha and sneaked into the army headquarters. On one side, he treated the injured as a doctor, while on the other side, he silently killed demons. One day, however, the human army was truly in far too dangerous a situation, forcing him to reveal his true identity. The simultaneous attack of his one thousand swords forcefully reversed the situation, yet…it also attracted that monstrous demon expert.

Hai Di descended from the sky and heavily wounded him in a single blow.

Zhusha took the risk of leaving her spiritual soul wandering and homeless to evade Hai Di's perception and bring Chen Changsheng underground to escape the battlefield. Yet neither of them expected that in the sprawling mountains, they would be ambushed several times by human experts.

Later on, they naturally came to know that these human experts came from the Imperial Court. To be more precise, they came from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets that was subordinate to the Imperial Court.

He truly had been in a perilous situation, and if not for Liu Qing silently appearing like a ghost, he would already be dead.

This was a set of rather bitter memories that had somewhat discouraged Chen Changsheng, so he had chosen this remote residence in the uninhabited mountains to live.

And the source of all this was Hai Di.

Tonight, he encountered Hai Di once more. Did that mean that his bitter encounter would repeat itself?

On the frigid peak, Hai Di looked down on the distant, pearl-like lake, his face emotionless and callous to the extreme.

I have received the Military Advisor's order to come and take your life.”

Black Robe wanted to kill the master of the Cinnabar Pill.

If he were to know that the master of the Cinnabar Pill was Chen Changsheng, he would naturally want to kill him even more.

In these deserted peaks with no true expert to protect the young Pope, if he were to miss out on this opportunity, then the Moon God would abandon Xuelao City.

For some inexplicable reason, Hai Di was not worried that Chen Changsheng would escape. He was in no rush to charge down the peak, instead standing on the peak and speaking with him.

What happened next explained it. He didn't need to charge down the mountain, and he was sure that it was too late for Chen Changsheng to leave.

Hai Di leaped from the peak.

A streak of fire flashed in the night sky and was quickly extinguished.

The winds howled and the stars dimmed, and even the darkness seemed to have been torn away.

Not too long ago, Ning Shiwei had sent a boulder flying, shattering the bridge on the lake.

Hai Di, on the other hand, had turned himself into a stone, no, into a great mountain.

Compared to his momentum, Ning Shiwei's boulder was so weak that it was rather laughable.

With the shrill sound of air being compressed, a mountainous shadow covered the lake.

An unimaginably terrifying impact struck the lake.

Rumble!

With a heavy and terrifying clap of thunder, the lake water was instantly converted into steam. Mist rose up to obscure half of the mountain range.

The courtyard was completely destroyed, transformed into rubble. The wooden bridge was like a snake that had ruptured inch by inch, its corpse lying on the mud of the lakebed.

Those troops from the Mount Song Army headquarters were either dead, injured, or unconscious.

A green leaf had unfurled itself in front of An Hua, protecting her and the array master on the stretcher.

That deputy general was still alive. Collapsed amongst the rubble of the pavilion, he coughed blood. Seeing the still-devastating turbulent Qi in the darkness, he showed despair on his face.

The clear clangs of swords finally rang out.

Countless sword intents came from all directions, carrying the might of a storm as they slashed at the mountainous black figure.
