The moment the fire-controlling talisman was ignited in this space, the flames gradually became brighter, illuminating everything around.

Li Tingyun's hands inevitably stiffened for a moment.

For a moment, he wished he hadn't seen anything and had never taken out the talisman to illuminate.

From the position where the few people were standing, there was a dark, unidentified object on the ground. The moment it sensed the presence of light, it immediately twisted.

They were black threads entangled together, and from the surface they looked no different from those outside the forbidden area.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

The most crucial thing is that right behind the three people, almost within close proximity, dozens of black silk threads silently hung down from above, ready to move towards them.

Li Tingyun: "..."

What kind of human suffering is this?

He calmly pressed the fire control talisman in his hand, "Excuse me."

Then try to act like nothing happened.

This is of course impossible -

There was a moment of restlessness in the middle of the black silk thread that was shaken by the firelight, and then they all aimed at them.

More importantly, there was Xu Xingmu, a guy who accidentally got caught and was causing trouble.

For a moment, the narrow space was filled with sword lights, striking almost everyone indiscriminately.

The rubble was rolling down from above, and Li Tingyun was caught in the dust and became a little angry. "Is this guy here just to make up the numbers?"

The three of them left together. Shen Weixun, the strongest person, was fine, and he, who should have been relatively easy to deal with, was also fine. But in the end, the unlucky guy who got hit became Xu Xingmu.

I can only say that this is fate.

Just as he finished speaking, another sword light swept by, and Xu Xingmu's cold eyes fell on him.

He looked like he didn't recognize any relatives at all.

Li Tingyun: "..."

I always feel an ominous premonition.

He couldn't help but let out a dry laugh, "No way? How can you understand if you're being controlled?"

In response to this, Xu Xingmu continued to swing his sword energy, his eyes swept past Shen Weixun and stared at Li Tingyun.

Grass.

This is not reasonable.

Shen Weixun was not far away, and seeing this, he immediately took him out of the sword attack range. He glanced at the other party and kindly reminded him, "He may not understand if you say other things, but he may not understand if you scold him."

After all, people are always quite sensitive when they are scolded.

as predicted.

In the following attacks, Xu Xingmu targeted Li Tingyun eight out of ten times.

This made it extremely difficult for him to dodge, and the black threads around him were constantly trying to get closer. If he paused for even a moment, he would be caught in an awkward situation of being attacked from both sides.

Li Tingyun's breathing became a little rapid. He rolled on the ground and took advantage of the gap when Shen Weixun cut off the silk threads blocking the way. He caught a glimpse of a faint black spot on the back of Xu Xingmu's neck.

found it!

He immediately reminded Shen Weixun, "Find a way to control him first. It doesn't matter what method you use, as long as you cut off the connection between him and those threads."

Most of Xu Xingmu's attention is now on him. In other words, he is now a living target that attracts fire, and naturally he is not suitable for doing this kind of thing.

What's more, he didn't think that his little movements could be hidden from a keen swordsman.

So this matter still has to be left to Shen Weixun.

Li Tingyun thought to himself as he expressionlessly dodged several black threads that surrounded him at the same time.

That's his junior fellow apprentice, if he doesn't go, who will?

*

Shen Weixun didn't know what he was thinking.

He nodded obediently and said, "Okay."

The young man raised his sword to block two attacks, then used the tip of the sword to cut the silk thread that was in the way in front of him. When Xu Xingmu turned around to chase Li Tingyun, he suddenly accelerated and landed behind him.

Sensing the other person approaching, Xu Xingmu quickly turned around and stared at the person in front of him with unfamiliar eyes.

Shen Weixun raised his eyebrows slightly.

He was not in a hurry to take action and was still choosing the right time. However, compared to him, Xu Xingmu was not so patient. Under the control of those silk threads, he could not recognize that the person in front of him was his own senior brother.

There was only one voice echoing in my mind: Kill him.

So he immediately swung the sword at Shen Weixun without hesitation, trying to split him in half.

Li Tingyun, who finally had the opportunity to take a breath, couldn't help but gloat over his misfortune.

Now it gets interesting.

Whether it was Shen Weixun and his fellow apprentice fighting with swords or Xu Xingmu being so bold as to attack his senior brother, either of these two events would be quite explosive no matter which one was released.

If there weren't a lot of black threads lurking around and he needed to be vigilant, he really wanted to take out the photo stone immediately to record the entire scene.

Facts have proved that your senior brother is still your senior brother.

Shen Weixun did not fight with him. He just walked around silently with his sword in hand, trying to find the right moment to attack. Even though he was facing the crazy attacks from his stupid and unconscious junior brother, he did not show any emotion and his expression looked very calm.

"What are you waiting for?" Li Tingyun lowered his voice and couldn't help but urge.

Sometimes he really couldn't understand the thought processes of these sword practitioners.

Shen Weixun did not answer, but changed his position after a moment, revealing a conspicuous flaw.

Xu Xingmu's mind was dazed, but that didn't stop him from quickly grasping this point and swooping down with his sword in hand.

So in the next few minutes, Li Tingyun successfully enjoyed a "wonderful drama".

Xu Xingmu's sword grazes past Shen Weixun's ear, and a mighty sword energy bursts out in an instant, with a rare lack of emotion on his face.

However, his sword missed.

Shen Weixun dodged to the side and hit him on the back with the scabbard of his sword. Xu Xingmu, whose target suddenly disappeared, pounced forward and was just wrapped into a silkworm cocoon by a ball of black silk thread that could not hold back.

hmmmm?

Li Tingyun immediately leaned back tactically, and it was undeniable that he was indeed shocked.

But soon, he immediately realized the other party's intention.

The idiot Xu Xingmu had already been controlled, so those threads wouldn't waste any more time on him, so it was just like -

There is actually no danger in this situation at all.

Sure enough, the silk threads that surged up with bared fangs and claws suddenly froze visibly when they wrapped around Xu Xingmu.

Immediately they retreated quickly like the tide, pushing out the people who were surrounded.

The young man still looked a little confused, standing there with the sword in hand, not knowing what was going on.

However, the next second, when his vigilance relaxed a little, he heard a faint whistling sound of wind behind him.

He subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but after so many years as a fellow disciple, Shen Weixun understood his moves and habits better than he thought.

The young man approached easily and tilted his head when his eyes fell on the black spot.

Anyway, Li Tingyun just said that he needed to be controlled, but he didn't say what method to use.

In that case, just do whatever is convenient for you.

Under Li Tingyun's shocked gaze, he struck Xu Xingmu's wrist with his sword, and the Star Blue Sword immediately slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground.

Then he swung his knife and successfully knocked his naive junior brother unconscious.

What is this called?

This is called an instant kill.

"..."

How wonderful.

Li Tingyun thought in a daze.

You, the Taiyi Sect, really have the same simple and rough approach.

The silk threads that the swarm of bees took the opportunity to surround were cut off again by a sword arc. Shen Weixun grabbed Xu Xingmu's collar and brought him in front of Li Tingyun.

"Now that we are here, what should we do next?"

"Huh? Oh oh."

Li Tingyun managed to pull himself back from his trance and said, "Leave it to me."

Shen Weixun had no objection to this.

After all, his main task is to protect the other party and ensure their safety so that they can go deep into the forbidden area.

But I didn't expect that Xu Xingmu would happen in the middle.

When Xu Xingmu shook his dizzy head and finally recovered from the controlled state, he met Li Tingyun's strange gaze as soon as he raised his eyes.

"???"

He asked blankly, "What happened?"

A large area of space was cleared around the two people. Obviously, this was the result of Shen Weixun's hard work, which made it easier for Li Tingyun to save the "dementia boy" in time.

So after a while, the rescued 'dementia boy' completely became a heartbroken puppy.

After learning from Li Tingyun about his tragic experience of having the audacity to attack the senior brother, but being physically "educated" by the other party.

The sky is falling.

Xu Xingmu suddenly felt that the whole world became gloomy.

Why?

It was clearly a world of three people, so why was he the only one who got hurt?

But before he could be emo for too long, after noticing the 'culprits' around him who had embarrassed him, Xu Xingmu immediately sat up in shock from his dying illness.

He and these ghosts have a mortal enemy!!

This time he was prepared. While the two sword cultivators were in the front, Li Tingyun calmed down and observed carefully. He noticed that these suddenly appearing silk threads extended all the way forward and disappeared around the corner.

He quickly called the other two people. Shen Weixun and Xu Xingmu looked at each other, turned around and swung out countless sword shadows to nail most of the flying silk threads in the air to the stone wall.

The three of them quickly pulled away, ignoring the tangled silk threads behind them, and followed the direction of the extension to go around the corner.

After walking for a distance, I was finally able to get a glimpse of the source of the entire evil formation.

They opened their eyes wide in shock.
