Chapter 278 Man in White
"clang……"
Before Gu Yang and Hu Qing had time to say a few more words, suddenly, a deafening bell rang in the military camp.
"Curfew in effect! Do not go out unless necessary. Violators will be dealt with according to the law!"
The soldiers on guard outside were walking around and shouting loudly.
The two looked at each other, and there was a hint of nervousness in their eyes.
It seems that the situation of the Xuanyin Sect's rebellion has become increasingly serious, and even a curfew has been imposed in the military camp.
"It seems we can only rest tonight." Gu Yang said in a low voice, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.
Hu Qing nodded, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "This is the only way, I'll think of a solution tomorrow."
The two of them returned to their beds silently, closed their eyes, and tried to enter a meditative state.
But as the night deepened, the pressure from the Dust-Breaking Stage bosses could be heard from time to time in the military camp, accompanied by some miserable cries, making it difficult for them to calm down.
The noise came one after another, and the terrifying pressure would block their meditation.
Gu Yang's heart was filled with irritation. He tried to calm himself down, but those voices kept echoing in the distance.
As the sky gradually brightened, Gu Yang came out of his practice with a hint of fatigue on his face.
The noise last night made it difficult for him to fall asleep, and his heart was filled with irritability and anxiety.
Hu Qing also slowly opened his eyes. He was not affected much. As long as the pressure was not around, he could maintain deep cultivation.
He relaxed his stiff joints and followed Gu Yang out of the tent.
As soon as they walked out of the tent, they smelled a faint smell of blood.
The cool breeze in the early morning was a bit biting, making their bodies shiver.
The tents around were quiet, obviously they were resting. It seemed that they woke up early.
But what was strange was that there were no soldiers on guard around, and the entire road was empty.
Gu Yang and Hu Qing looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.
They looked at the rising sun in the sky and decided to go to the city wall to see if they could find out something.
Those screams last night were clearly the voices of the demons. Since the demons were attacking, why didn't they sound the alarm?
Instead, it is the big guys in the Dust-Breaking Stage who go into battle. Aren’t they afraid that the alien demons will send out double the combat force?
When they reached the end of the wall and looked down at the beach and sea below, they both gasped in shock.
The beach and the sea surface were covered with sticky black blood that emitted a strong stench.
The broken limbs and arms of demons were scattered everywhere, and right below them was a head with wide eyes.
This place is simply hell. Hu Qing looked at these limbs and felt a little breathless. He used his special skills to predict, but only saw a gray area.
Obviously, these limbs are all in the Dust-breaking Stage, so it's no wonder that the soldiers can't be allowed to go into battle.
In a battle of this magnitude, the soldiers would just be serving as food, which is not worth it.
However, judging from the current situation, this battle was obviously extremely brutal, and a chill rose in the hearts of Gu Yang and Hu Qing.
It seems that this rebellion is much more complicated than they imagined.
Just then, their attention was attracted by a figure on the sea in the distance.
A handsome man in white clothes, with long hair tied up and sharp features, stood on the sea. His figure looked particularly lonely and mysterious in the morning light.
A white jade sword was suspended beside him, emitting a faint light.
Gu Yang's heart moved, and he boldly released his spiritual sense, trying to explore the man's realm.
However, when his spiritual sense touched the other person, he was surprised to find that the man in front of him did not resist at all, as if he did not feel anything.
The result was also unexpected. The man in white was just like an ordinary person, without any fluctuation in his realm.
How can this be?
How could an ordinary person stand firm in such a situation?
Gu Yang had just withdrawn his spiritual sense when the man suddenly turned his head, his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes staring straight at the two of them with a gaze as sharp as lightning.
In an instant, the two felt a sword energy emitting a chill rising straight into the sky, pointing directly at their minds.
Countless sword energies attacked Gu Yang's consciousness like sharp blades, and his mind was instantly filled with severe pain.
Tears instantly flowed out, and he couldn't help but cover his eyes, shaking on the spot, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"Brother Gu, how are you? Are you okay?"
Hu Qing's voice sounded in his ears, with a hint of urgency.
Gu Yang did not answer, his consciousness had been completely occupied by the sword energy.
He only felt that his brain was being cut by countless sword energies, each of which was icy cold, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
His body was shaking violently, as if he would collapse at any moment.
Why would he do this to me? Could it be that he was using his spiritual sense to spy on me?
Gu Yang endured the pain, straightened his body, and glared at the man in white, but he could only see a faint smile.
Hu Qing was still concerned about Gu Yang just now, but now he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet. The man actually saw through his true nature.
It turns out that he didn't attack just now because he was checking his own weaknesses.
The tiny sword energy was splitting his soul. Hu Qing felt as if his soul was torn into countless pieces and was in great pain.
Fortunately, Hu Qing's soul was of extremely high quality and healed quickly after being divided.
He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and tried to stay awake.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and the sword attack lasted for a full ten minutes.
Gu Yang and Hu Qing were panting and collapsed on the city wall. They were covered in sweat and their clothes were sticking to their bodies.
They were in great pain just now, but in this extreme torture, their mental strength was unexpectedly greatly improved.
When the sword energy finally disappeared, Gu Yang and Hu Qing slowly opened their eyes, with a hint of complexity in their eyes.
They looked at the man in white, but found that he was only left with his back.
The two of them cursed inwardly, is it really that high?
"This... what's going on? Does this person just want to torture us and see us make a fool of ourselves?" Gu Yang said in a low voice, with a hint of trembling in his voice.
Hu Qing did not answer, but a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
He suddenly stood up and pointed to the sea in the distance: "Oh no, look over there!"
Gu Yang followed Hu Qing's gaze and saw two purple-haired men in linen clothes floating on the sea in the distance.
The two looked the same, like twins, but neither of them had the demonic symbol of tentacles, only purple hair.
It seems that what Senior Zheng Su said was absolutely right. The higher the level of the demon, the more it looks like a human. The two people in the distance are no different from them.
The two demons flew to the opposite side of the man in white and displayed their aura. In an instant, the entire sea was silent.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang were almost breathless due to the pressure, and their faces gradually turned pale.
These two are both in the Dust-breaking Stage!
