Kunxu extreme north zone, Hongquan Mountain.

The snow here is bitterly cold all year round, the wind is howling, and the temperature often exceeds -30 degrees Celsius, making it a barren place.

Hongquan Mountain stretches for thousands of kilometers, and is the thinnest place in the entire Kunxu aura, not only are there no monks cultivating here, not even any demon beasts, only some weak and hardy animals live here for a long time, because there are few natural enemies.

And on the top of Hongquan Mountain, which is as high as 10,000 meters above sea level-

A four-meter-tall black knife was stuck straight into the central snow, like a boiling living thing, and the knife body exuded a terrifying aura of black and red. A man sat cross-legged next to the big black knife topless and with his eyes closed, spitting and inhaling in the roaring snowstorm.

The man's appearance is very handsome, but unlike Xu Jing, it is an evil handsomeness, very threatening, long black hair hangs down to the back, a body of muscles full of masculine power, the edge of the hairline on the forehead, there is a terrifying scar, looking from a distance, it looks like a belt.

This black broadsword is his Yuan Shen weapon, just like Xu Jing can take out a sword called "Taibai" after opening the Dao to hide his name, the Yuan Shen weapon is also a part of the Yuan Shen, and it cannot be destroyed, otherwise the damage will be great, and there will be life worries.

But while this man ...... It seems that he has no scruples, and he can stand his Yuan Shen weapon by his side so casually, as if there will be no consumption.

"Alas. ”

He sighed.

Between heaven and earth, only this man and the knife beside him were not stained with the slightest trace of snow, and three feet away from him, the wind and snow melted by themselves, and the erosion could not reach half of him.

"Snort-"

The air froze, and the man suddenly gushed out an extremely violent breath, and the energy was so strong that it directly melted the snow within a radius of hundreds of miles and evaporated into gas, making the temperature in this place suddenly rise by dozens of degrees, as if he had come to a volcanic crater.

"Failed again. ”

The man slowly opened his eyes, his pupils turned out to be red, although his appearance was evil, but his expression was very serious, just looking at his appearance, the feeling of threat like a murderer, it seemed that it was not so big.

"If I want to break through to a higher level, I have to learn how to suppress the energy in my body, but whenever I want to break through, this energy will heat up quickly and overflow uncontrollably, even if I am in the most severe cold area of the entire Kunxu. ”

The man shook his head.

A hundred years ago, his cultivation had reached the bottleneck of the eighth layer of the Tribulation Period.

So on the top of this Hongquan Mountain, he meditated cross-legged and retreated for a hundred years.

The energy in his body was actually enough for him to break through to the ninth layer of the Tribulation Period, but the energy he used to break through was now like a handful of clear water, which had to be drunk and fully used by his body in order to be fully effective.

Every time the man wanted to drink it, the handful of water would heat up uncontrollably and quickly and evaporate, making him unable to drink anything, so even if he had the energy to break through, it would not work at all.

"How can I cool down this energy and push me to a higher level?

The man looked confused for a while, then lowered his head and sighed: "But I have made a poisonous oath never to kill, and my hands are already covered with sins. I have never been able to break through to the ninth layer of the Tribulation Period, which may also be a punishment for me. ”

"However, the energy I used to break through has been exhausted in the past hundred years, so I should not go to the next mountain!

The red in the man's pupils seemed to have become a little larger, and he licked the corners of his lips, and a murderous smile appeared on his face, as if he was schizophrenic, which was very different from his previous serious appearance.

The black big knife beside him also suddenly burst out of the bloody aura at this moment, overwhelming the sky, as if the top of this blazing white and holy Hongquan Mountain was suddenly pulled into the dark and boundless terrifying purgatory!

"No!"

The man blinked vigorously, and the red glow in his pupils narrowed a little.

"If I don't make progress, I will one day be surpassed by others and die in the hands of others. If you want to break through self-preservation, you must first stabilize your mind!"

The man let out a long exhale, and the light of the black broadsword beside him dimmed.

"Is it the Demon Lord's predecessor?"

At this moment, a crisp female voice came from the air.

"Huh?"

This man's expression was quite surprised, the top of Hongquan Mountain is the most remote place in Kunxu, the most unlikely place for anyone to come, his whereabouts are erratic, and no one in the world of Kunxu will know.

For the first time in a hundred years, he heard the voice of an outsider.

"How did you end up here?"

The man, known as the "Demon Lord", looked ahead, and saw a beautiful young woman in a yellow shirt, slowly walking from the front.

It was Lin Ruyan.

Lin Ruyan saluted him and said with a smile: "When I came to Hongquan Mountain, I wanted to find a herb called 'Mountain Spring Snow Lotus', but when I saw the hundred miles of snow on the top of Hongquan Mountain suddenly melt, I felt very curious, and I thought that the treasure of heaven and earth was born, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect that it was the predecessor of the Demon Lord who cultivated here." ”

The Demon Lord laughed, stood up from the ground, and said, "You are in the wrong place, in this thousand-mile land of the Hongquan Mountain Range, the spiritual energy is too scarce, not only will it not give birth to any heavenly and earthly treasures, but even demon beasts will not be able to survive and cultivate." ”

Lin Ruyan was surprised: "So that's the case! I thought that there was a word 'spring' in the 'mountain spring snow lotus', and this Hongquan Mountain also had the word spring, and the mountain spring snow lotus was bred here." ”

The Demon Lord slowly walked towards her, this Demon Lord was nearly three meters tall, his body was different from ordinary people, he did not exude any energy, just walking towards Lin Ruyan, it made her feel a suffocating sense of oppression.

The Demon Lord looked at her condescendingly, and asked with great interest: "Seeing that you know me, you should know my past deeds, why are you not afraid to see me?"

Lin Ruyan bowed slightly to him, and said a little shyly: "The deeds of the Demon Lord...... Of course I've heard of it. A hundred years ago, in order to cultivate the Dao, the Demon Lord challenged the six great sects of Kunxu with his own strength, and even killed the sect master of the Haoran Sect, or the Tianyun Sect Hengtian Immortal Venerable united with the remaining four elders of the Great Sect to force the Demon Lord back. ”

The Demon Lord laughed and said: "Forced to retreat? ridiculous, back then, it was I who had already glimpsed the threshold of the peak of the Tribulation Period, and let me know that killing could not be preached, so I went to the top of this Hongquan Mountain to cultivate, and the people who could force me back could be counted on one hand." That Hengtian Immortal Venerable is in front of me, and it can only be called Climbing Immortal Venerable. ”

Lin Ruyan covered her mouth and giggled: "I see, the little girl doesn't doubt the strength of the Demon Lord, on the contrary, the little girl still admires the Demon Monarch very much. ”

The Demon Lord looked at her with some surprise and said, "Oh, you admire me?"

Lin Ruyan said: "Of course, if it weren't for the Demon Lord's heavy damage to the Haoran Sect back then, the sect where the little girl belonged would not have been among the six great sects at all. ”

The Demon Lord laughed and quipped: "No wonder you are not afraid of me, but I killed the sect master of the Haoran Sect just because I wanted him to die, I never thought of supporting you middle sect and lower sect leaders! Today I just ran out of energy, why don't you use your body to help me!"

Lin Ruyan still didn't have the slightest cowardice on his face, and said: "If you can help the Demon Lord, the little girl should have no complaints, it's just ...... The little girl is the same as the Demon Lord, and she also comes from the secular world, if you kill the little girl, the Demon Lord will have one less fellow. ”

"You're from the world?"

The Demon Lord immediately restrained the laughter on his face, and after taking a closer look at her, the red glow in his eyes rose a few points, and the murderous intent was really revealed, and he said: "I don't believe that there is a Shangzong who will accept people from the secular world as disciples! Back then, I fought my way out of the secular world, broke through the gate of heaven, and came to Kunxu to admire Haoran Sect the most, I thought that with my own talent, I could break out of the sky in Kunxu, but as a result, Haoran Sect suspected my secular identity and expelled me, and I was afraid that I would hold a grudge and send someone to kill me. I didn't want to kill you today, but you are not honest in front of me, don't blame me!"

As he spoke, the Demon Monarch slapped towards Lin Ruyan with one hand, and even Lin Ruyan's face really showed a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "Demon Lord! The Shangzong where I am located was created by the sect of the secular world! It is called Qingjing Sect! All the high-level leaders are from the secular world!"

As soon as he finished saying this, the Demon Lord stopped his hand and said in disbelief: "Are there still people from the secular world...... Can you bring the sect into the upper sect in Kunxu?"

Looking at Lin Ruyan's appearance that he was not afraid of himself at all before, the Demon Lord really suspected that there was such a possibility, although he had killed and slaughtered before, but for the people in the secular world, he did not have any grudges, if there was really a secular world that established a sect in Kunxu and squeezed out the position of Haoran Sect, then it was indeed normal to regard himself as a hero.

"The sect master of my family is a thousand-year-old strange person, and the Demon Monarch will know it at first sight! In addition, she will also recruit relatives tomorrow, whoever can win the world's heroes will be able to have her and Qingjingzong at the same time!" Lin Ruyan said as he looked into the eyes of the Demon Lord.

"Is that true?" the Demon Lord frowned.

"How dare I deceive the Demon Lord?"

Lin Ruyan paused, seeing that the Demon Lord was still hesitating, he released another bombshell news:

"The dowry of my family's sect master in recruiting relatives is also a jade unicorn! if anyone becomes her husband, the jade unicorn will be taken away by him!"

......

It is still Hongquan Mountain, in a cave halfway up the mountain.

A man and a woman also meditate here, the man in a black robe and the woman in a white robe. The vegetation in the cave is flourishing, green as spring, and it does not look like the environment of the cave at all, as if it is like a paradise.

The jade unicorn, which is pure white, is opening its huge mouth, constantly spitting Dan Qi, dedicated to her hostess.

On the other side, a phantom-like terrifying gluttony also opened its huge mouth, and the thick energy like chaos was about to gush out!

"Xu Jing, the Immortal Reincarnation Great Array is about to be completed!"

"It's finally done! If it's a little later, I'm afraid I'll collapse the entire Hongquan Mountain! I can finally break through!"
