Chapter 54 The White Silk Waterfall Hanging from the Sky
"Tiger!!!"
At the Demonic Cult's headquarters, Black Heart Tiger watched as his son, who had gone out full of energy but returned covered in wounds and unconscious, glared angrily at Niu Xuanfeng and Tiaotiao kneeling below.
"What happened? Why is Tiger so badly injured?!"
Most martial arts masters possess some medical skills, and with years of experience, they become doctors themselves. With just a pulse diagnosis, Black Tiger sensed that Black Little Tiger's condition was extremely dire.
External injuries are secondary; the real problem is internal injuries. His dantian and meridians are a complete mess. More importantly, there are multiple internal forces within Hei Xiaohu's body that do not belong to him and have completely different attributes. They are rampaging through Hei Xiaohu's body. If he is not treated quickly, he will be crippled even if he wakes up.
Overwhelmed with love for his son, Black Tiger didn't bother dealing with Niu Xuanfeng and Tiaotiao, and rushed Black Tiger to the hospital.
"Tell me! What happened?! Why is Xiaohu so badly injured?!"
The enraged Black Tiger was so imposing that his mere presence made Jump Jump and Bull Whirlwind gasp for breath.
Under the oppressive aura of Black Heart Tiger, Jump and Jump recounted the whole story in fits and starts. After listening, Black Heart Tiger's low pressure became even more terrifying, and Niu Xuanfeng and Jump had no choice but to lower their heads and not dare to look him in the eye.
"Two useless pieces of trash!"
With a flick of his sleeve, Black Tiger unleashed a whirlwind of internal energy that swept up Jump and the other two, slamming them against the wall. The two didn't even dare to use their internal energy to resist.
Getting up from the ground and resuming his previous actions, Tiao Tiao lowered his head and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He had already checked before returning. Hei Xiaohu's injuries were so severe that ordinary methods could not cure him. The sword energy left by the Seven Swords in his body, as well as Fang Xiu's multiple internal forces, could only be safely eliminated by Hei Xinhu himself.
Even with Black Tiger's strength, healing Black Tiger's injuries would require a significant expenditure of his internal energy and mental focus. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him!
Just as Tiaotiao had thought, the demonic sect's doctor could only keep Hei Xiaohu alive, but they were truly powerless to do anything about the internal energy within Hei Xiaohu's body.
If Hei Xiaohu were awake, with his cooperation, the possibility of diagnosing the problem could be eliminated little by little. But now that Hei Xiaohu is unconscious, the doctors dare not make any rash moves. They are like a hot potato; if they make the slightest mistake, they will lose their heads.
"Useless! All of you are useless!"
Looking at his pale-faced son lying there, Black Tiger snorted coldly, slapped them away with one hand, picked up his son, and walked towards the secret room.
"Mad Blade and Furious Sword! Guard the door! No one is allowed to enter without my order!!"
Become!
Although he was hit twice, which aggravated his injuries, Jump, who was still coughing up blood, secretly smiled to himself as he watched Black Heart Tiger enter the secret room. His chance was about to come, a chance he had waited for for so many years!
However, Jumpy's gaze swept over the two men, Mad Blade and Furious Sword, who stood like two guardian deities. As Black Heart Tiger's personal guards, their strength was unfathomable. Jumpy was not confident of defeating them in a direct confrontation and needed to plan ahead.
Jump Jump didn't reveal any inappropriate thoughts and returned to his residence. As a protector of the Demonic Sect, Jump Jump also had a separate residence, but he lived in a relatively remote place because he preferred quiet.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, circulating his internal energy to heal his injuries until the first full cycle was completed. He then exhaled a breath of turbid air. Compared to Hei Xiaohu, his injuries were much lighter. Most of them were superficial wounds, caused by Hei Xinhu's attack. He would naturally recover after a period of rest.
More than her injuries, Jump was concerned about how to deal with Mad Blade and Furious Sword, and then enter the secret room to kill Black Heart Tiger.
Time is limited. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to get another one. We must come up with a way to deal with Mad Saber and Furious Sword before Black Heart Tiger leaves the secret room.
Because Jump knows Black Tiger well, he knows that Black Tiger is a cautious and cunning villain. After healing Black Tiger, Black Tiger will not come out immediately, but will recover first.
So, to kill Black Tiger, one must take advantage of his healing phase. Given Black Tiger's skill and Black Tiger's condition, this timeframe won't be too long—at least two or three days, at most five or six days. Within this time, he needs to devise a plan. What method could he use to silently eliminate two masters...?
"Coo coo—"
Just then, the sound of flapping wings and birdsong came from outside the window.
Is that a spirit pigeon?
Startled, Tiaotiao quickly went to the door, quietly opened it a crack, and looked around. Sure enough, he saw a blue spirit pigeon hovering in front of the door.
Seeing no one around, Jump Jump then allowed the spirit pigeon to enter.
This is the second time that Jumpy has seen Spirit Dove. The first time was after Rainbow Cat came out of the mountain, when Jumpy was secretly practicing the Azure Light Sword Technique by the waterfall where he hid his sword. The second time is now.
"A message is delivered by carrier pigeon; the seven swords await orders."
The first appearance of the spirit pigeon was to inform the Seven Swordsmen that the martial world needed the Seven Swords Masters to emerge from seclusion. The second appearance of the spirit pigeon was to inform the corresponding Sword Master that the previous Sword Masters had already gathered and it was their turn.
Inside the room, the light from the oil lamp swayed uncertainly in the wind, casting flickering shadows that seemed to rise and fall with the wind.
……
After a long journey, Fang Xiu and his six companions finally arrived near the Tianxuan Bailian Waterfall.
The Tianxuan Bailian Waterfall is arguably the largest waterfall anyone has ever seen; even before getting close, you can hear the roar of the water cascading down.
As the crowd approached, they saw a waterfall cascading down from a cliff hundreds of feet high, a magnificent sight that left them speechless. This was the power of nature.
However, the group did not come to see the beautiful scenery. After arriving, they stayed briefly before splitting up to search for the whereabouts of the Azure Light Sword Master.
Disappointingly, apart from a few broken walls and ruins, the group found no trace of anyone near the waterfall.
Moreover, the broken walls bear traces of knife cuts, sword strikes, and fire. Judging from the degree of weathering of the ruins, the incident occurred at least five years ago.
"Are we too late?"
Sally's eyes were blank. If the master of the Azure Light Sword was dead, how could they combine the seven swords and fight against the formidable enemy, Black Heart Tiger?
"Damn it! It must have been the work of the Demonic Sect!"
Da Ben angrily slammed his fist into the tree trunk. He had witnessed many of the Demonic Sect's actions along the way, and he was certain that this was the work of the Demonic Sect, all to prevent the Seven Swords from combining.
"This place has indeed been destroyed, but the Azure Light Sword Master may not be dead. Follow me."
With that, Fang Xiu took the lead and walked towards the place they had discovered earlier. "Look there!"
Following the direction Fang Xiu pointed, everyone saw an unmarked monument standing amidst a patch of weeds, with black marks in front of it.
DouDou was the first to step forward, picked up a pinch of black ash, and sniffed it lightly.
"These are the ashes left after the paper money was burned."
At this point, Dou Dou's eyes lit up, and not only him, but everyone else also realized what he meant.
Judging from the marks on this nameless monument, it must have been erected after those broken walls and ruins. Moreover, the ashes on the ground indicate that someone recently came here to pay their respects.
Who would come here to worship? First, we can rule out members of the Demonic Cult. It can only be a survivor of that battle, and it is very likely that they are looking for the Azure Light Sword Master!
"Coo coo~"
