Chapter 285 Atonement
"Xia Liu, I won the arena and am already the leader of the martial arts alliance. You are now in this way, and you have the intention of usurping the throne. The seniors from all walks of life in the Jianshe Villa have not left yet. Are you making other martial artists laughing at this way?"
Although Su Hao pretended to be calm, fine beads of sweat had already oozed out of his palms and forehead.
The boy drew his long sword and pointed it at Liu Chen, "What you mean now is that you want to kill me together." Although the boy's expression was relaxed, Su Hao around him had already noticed it. The boy must have no idea. In this case, no one could be very sure.
"The prince is joking. No matter how bold Liu is, he will not dare to attack the prince. However, Liu has received news that the person around you is not only for a woman, but also for the young master of the Demon Sect. The purpose of our version of this martial arts conference is to select the leader of the rivers and lakes and command various sects to destroy the Demon Sect. If the people from the Demon Sect are allowed to be the leader of the martial arts world, I am afraid that even if Liu agrees, the other heroes here will not agree."
Su Hao smiled slightly, "Haha, it turns out that it's for this," Su Hao directly untied his hairband and lifted his mask, "Wuchen is indeed a woman, but so what can I do?"
The boy obviously had no time to stop her and was startled by his behavior.
Liu Chen didn't expect that he would openly admit her own female identity, "Since you are a woman, you can no longer be the leader of the martial arts world..."
"There is a clear statement among the terms of the martial arts conference that women cannot attend the martial arts conference?" Su Hao interrupted directly before Liu Chen finished speaking.
Indeed, when the martial arts conference was issued, there was no clear statement that women could not participate in the martial arts conference, but it was a convention that men came to fight in all sects. This was the first time that a woman came to the martial arts conference to fight, and even passed all the challenges.
"As for what Liu Daxia said about the people in the Demon Cult," Su Hao turned his head and looked at the young man in the eyes, "Since you already know that Prince Duan and I are people in the road, you should understand in your heart that I am a subordinate of Prince Duan, and you should do things for him. If you casually accuse me of being a cult in public, wouldn't it be a shame that the royal family and the entire world of justice at the same time?"
Liu Chen had been speechless for a long time, but Su Hao didn't want to stop, "What's more, I have won the position of champion of the martial arts conference. In other words, everyone present has already agreed with me. Now you are plaguing me with the name of a cult, wouldn't you treat the entire Central Plains martial arts world as a joke? The talented and powerful people in the entire Central Plains martial arts world can't beat a cult person?"
After all, Liu Chen is also a well-known figure in the world. This is the first time that he has been criticized in person.
Liu Chen had no intention of being the leader of the league, because based on his status in the world, no matter who became the leader, he would review his own ideas in handling many things and leave himself with three points of thin air.
I was originally afraid that this unknown young boy would be uncontrollable, not to mention that he had the support of Prince Duan behind him, so I wanted to use Feng Qi and Feng Yue's previous words to attack Wuchen.
But unexpectedly, in the end, I was still embarrassed.
No one in the entire Jianwen Villa raised objections to Su Hao's identity as leader.
...
Since he has firmly sat in the position of leader of the martial arts world, Su Hao has no reason to refuse to help the young man. The injuries on his body are avoided. For Su Hao, it only hurts his flesh and blood, except that it may cause damage to the wound during the activity, it cannot hinder his skills.
The matter has indeed been delayed for a long time. In Su Zi's mind, time is the most precious. She simply took out the weapons she carried with her and prepared to enter the Tower of Heaven to obtain the scriptures.
The Luban lock is used at the entrance of the Tongtian Tower. The mechanism obtained is very complex, and only the leader of the martial arts world can get the key.
The Tower of Tongtian is not only high, but also has many mechanisms. Even if the leader of the martial arts world can lead the key to the Tower of Tongtian, he cannot enter the Tower of Tongtian without authorization. After all, once the Heart Sutra is released, it may reverse the situation in the world.
Su Hao's consciousness began to be a little blurred. He didn't know how he climbed up step by step. After only going up to the third floor, Su Hao touched the mechanism in the dark, and the crossbow hidden in the dark was about to break out. Even if Su Hao was prepared, the crossbow arrows remained on Su Hao's ankle. Fortunately, the Tongtian Tower has a long history and the mechanisms in the tower have been many years, so there was no poison applied to the bow and arrows. This was a blessing in disgrace for Su Hao.
Su Hao was cruel and gritted his teeth and directly broke the half-cross arrow left outside the ankle. At this place, she didn't dare to pull out the entire arrow easily, so she could only barely deal with it like this. However, every time she moved, it would affect the wound, which really made Su Hao's daughter-in-law even more difficult.
The mechanisms in the Tower of Heaven are full of death. Not only are they filled with the formations of the Eight Trigrams and Five Elements, but there are also many mechanisms hidden in small places inadvertently. The mechanisms of those days were designed by Old Man Tianji. For the most powerful hidden weapon master in the world, even though he has passed away for many years, his name is still very loud.
Su Hao leaned against the wall and gently groped in the words "Tianji" engraved on the wall. This young man had already found out the situation here so clearly, so why didn't he tell her in advance that there were so many life-threatening mechanisms here.
Su Hao suddenly stopped. That's right. If he had known earlier that the mechanisms here were all masterpieces of Old Man Tianji, he would probably not have entered this ghost place even if he was beaten to death.
Over the years, there have been very few people who have been able to enter this place, not to mention that the mechanism closest to the Heart Sutra among the rumors was the lifelong hard work of the old man Tianji. There are rumors in the martial arts world that only women can get close to that mechanism, but it is also a mechanism that cannot be opened by ordinary women. That is the same. If an ordinary woman is, how could she have penetrated so many mechanisms?
I guess the mechanism was already touched at the door, so I couldn't dodge and was shot to death by arrows.
Su Hao's mind was already a little confused. He couldn't stand up smoothly. He pressed the acupoints on his hands hard against the wall to keep himself awake as much as possible.
The boy was waiting outside the tower. After all, he was the leader of the martial arts world now and should have protected the Heart Sutra. If someone was letting others in, it would inevitably be said that if he could help him get the Heart Sutra, he would keep his promise and complete the things he promised to do. These things are just a reciprocal transaction for him.
If you want to achieve your goals, you must first obtain the Heart Sutra.
Su Hao, who reached the top, was already covered in wounds, and the half-bow of crossbow arrows on his ankle kept keeping himself awake in pain.
"Sure enough, this mechanism is really extraordinary."
There is no special mechanism at the top floor, just an exquisite wood carved box. The patterns on the box are very strange, and the drawing should be an altar of blood.
Su Hao carefully stroked the pattern on the wooden carved box, cut a hole in his wrist, and dripped his blood on it. He probably had to follow the pattern of the entire box. Su Hao was already exhausted, and the bloodletting process made her confused. It was not until the "click" that the box's lock bounced open automatically, and Su Hao forced himself to open his eyes again.
The Heart Sutra was successfully held in my hand, and the difficulty now is to go on.
A thin volume of scriptures turned out to be as heavy as a thousand pounds in my arms.
In order to facilitate action, Su Haoren broke the second half of the crossbow arrow, but tore the wound, making the wound even more terrible and bleeding constantly.
Su Hao's strength could no longer support her to continue walking downwards, so she could only slowly move downwards against the wall, trying her best not to move any mechanism.
The mechanism of Tongtian Tower could only go up and down. Su Hao was injured in the leg and could not use light skills. He had no way to avoid the mechanism. He was hit by another sword on his shoulder and directly penetrated the entire shoulder blade.
The Tower of Tongtian, which has not been remodeled for many years, is often penetrated by rain. The iron arrows are covered with rust. However, the crossbow is too powerful, and the arrows with rust still penetrate deep into her flesh.
"Hiss--" Su Hao had no strength to scream now, and suddenly collapsed on the ground, not caring about any mechanism, had lost all consciousness, leaning against the wall, gasping heavily.
Su Hao still believes in the young man's good-looking eyes. As long as he gets the Heart Sutra, he can protect the completeness of the Demon Cult and he will leave sooner or later. If he can complete this task, this trip will not be in vain.
...
Su Hao knew early in the morning that the royal family was ruthless. When she crawled to the exit with wounds, a long sword pierced directly into her chest. She could still feel someone snatching the Heart Sutra from her arms.
The boy regretted it.
——He shouldn’t have been scheming for these trivial things. Su Hao said that his eyes were beautiful because it was originally a pair of thorough eyes, without any scheming, and anyone would like it after seeing it.
However, there are never any mistakes in the royal family. Anything that threatens himself must be eliminated in time. This is the education he received since childhood. Obviously, the Taifu and the General Master said this.
But why, at this moment, he really regrets it so much.
"The Heart Sutra is given to you, remember what you promised me."
The boy may never forget that expression in his life. Su Hao's eyes were not resentful, and he was very calm, so he closed his eyes in front of him.
...
"Do you hate me for doing that?"
"Oh, why bother?" Su Hao lay lazily on the couch, wearing luxurious clothes, but could not hide her weight loss. She really looked like a lazy beauty. "Young man, are you bringing me here to atone for your sins?"
