Heavenly Spirit Continent, Qingqiu Empire, Red Flame City.

On the evening of the eighth day of the lunar month, the sky was very dark, the snow on both sides of the road was very deep, and the pedestrians looked in a hurry.

Yi Xing looked up at the gray sky and muttered, "This weather is really enough!

Yi Xing's clothes are very thin, and the patches on his clothes and pants are layered on top of each other, looking like a little flower child. He was an orphan who had been raised by an old grandfather, who had died last year, and he was the only one living in the city. Fortunately, he is old, and now he can do something on his own in exchange for some money, although it is very difficult, but he can always live.

Usually, he would go to the mountains not far from Chiyan City and bring back some dry firewood, so that he could sell it to the pastry shop on the street in the early morning of the next day in exchange for some silver or food.

If I don't prepare dry firewood now, I'm afraid I'll be hungry tomorrow.

Yi Xing went out of the city and walked towards the mountains and forests he had been to before. This mountain forest is relatively close to Chiyan City, and it is easy to come to the mountain forest in less than half an hour.

He looked at the darkening sky, his hands picking up speed. It didn't take long to bundle a pile of firewood, put the bundle on his back, and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Yi Xing heard a very subtle cry. Yi Xing was taken aback. In the mountains and forests in the evening, the faint crying sound seemed very permeating. Yi Xing had the courage to walk towards the place where the crying sound came.

The sound of crying came from a bush. He went over to the grass and saw a teenage girl, curled up and crying in a low voice. The little girl was dressed in white, covered with dirt and dust, and looked very embarrassed.

The little girl's skin was snow-white, her round face was flushed, and her big eyes were watery, and she saw Yi Xing appear in front of him. Slowly, she stopped crying and stared at him.

Yi Xing looked at the little girl and asked, "Why are you here, are you alone?"

When the little girl heard Yi Xing's question, she seemed to remember something again, and began to cry again.

Yi Xing felt a headache, what was going on, and cried again. Finally, after a long time, the little girl calmed down, and Yi Xing finally figured out what was going on. It turned out that the little girl was out playing with her parents, and when she passed by this mountain forest, she encountered a demon spirit. Seeing the little girl alone, and thinking that her parents had been killed by demon spirits, Yi Xing couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy with her in his heart. In the end, Yi Xing decided to take the little girl back and live with him. The little girl seemed to have found a support, and just followed.

Thinking of the appearance of demon spirits in this mountain forest, Yi Xing was a little scared in his heart, and he was about to hurry with the little girl.

"Giggle......

Before they could walk out of the forest, there was a coquettish laughter. Yi Xing saw a beautiful woman in red appear in front of him, very charming.

When the little girl saw the woman in red, she looked very frightened, and kept saying, "It's her, it's her!"

Yi Xing didn't expect to meet the demon spirit before he could take the little girl away. There was a lot of panic in my heart. picked up the little girl and ran out of the mountains and forests. During the run, the dry firewood that was originally tied on the back was loosely scattered, only to hear a bang, the dry firewood was scattered, and a dry firewood fell on Yi Xing's feet, Yi Xing was trampled by this dry firewood, and the little girl in front of him, the two fell to the ground like a rolling gourd.

There was a lot of snow on the ground, and Yi Xing's young body was not heavy, except for some pain, he was not injured. He quickly got up and ran towards the little girl. I didn't have time to think, so I picked up the little girl and ran again.

"Giggle...... I really can't imagine that I met such a loving person, it seems that I should gain a lot this time!" The demon spirit saw that Yi Xing still wanted to run away with the little girl, not only was he not in a hurry, but he also praised Yi Xing for being affectionate and righteous!

Yi Xing just wanted to leave here with the little girl as soon as possible and get rid of this demon. Although he is not very old, he has been wandering the streets constantly, and he has heard many people talk about demons. Demon spirits can absorb human essence and strengthen themselves. If humans encounter demon spirits and do not have strong cultivation, they will almost die in the hands of demon spirits, and their essence will be sucked away by demon spirits.

He was terrified. Holding the little girl and running.

The demon spirit suddenly smiled, and a flash, like a breeze, floated in front of Yi Xing. Stretching out his hand towards Yi Xing, he saw a puff of black smoke pouring out of the demon spirit's hand, enveloping Yi Xing and the little girl.

Yi Xing seemed to feel like a small insect that had fallen into a spider's web, and no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't move his body.

Gradually, Yi Xing's consciousness began to blur.

"Dare to do evil, dare to kill here! Don't retreat quickly!" Yi Xing heard a loud cry when he was confused. Then I heard a scream, and I was able to move my body again. Yi Xing thought of the little girl, and when he saw her lying beside him, unconscious, he quickly picked her up.

Only then did Yi Xing notice that not far from him, there was an old man in Tsing Yi, holding a long sword, looking at the demon spirit. And the scream just now should have been made by the demon spirit, and Yi Xing saw that the demon spirit vomited blood in his mouth, and his body was also stained with blood.

Yi Xing just felt that this demon spirit was extremely powerful, and he couldn't resist it at all, and he couldn't imagine that this old man was so powerful. It seems that there is salvation now! Yi Xing couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart.

"If you don't retreat, if you don't retreat in the future, you will not be spared!" said the old man in Tsing Yi to the demon spirit.

When the demon spirit heard the old man's words, he looked at the old man deeply, turned around and disappeared.

Yi Xing saw the demon spirit leaving, so he walked over to the old man with the little girl in his arms and said, "Thank you grandpa for saving me and the little girl! If we hadn't met grandpa, the two of us would definitely be dead!"

The old man looked at Yi Xing, smiled slightly, touched his head, and said, "You are very good! I saw it all just now, you didn't abandon this little girl and run away by yourself, this is very good!"

Being praised by the old man, Yi Xing smiled: "Grandpa is so powerful! That demon spirit is so powerful that grandpa drove away." Can I learn martial arts from my grandfather?"

"Oh, why do you want to learn martial arts?" asked the old man.

"When you become stronger, you can protect yourself and others!" Yi Xing said with a firm expression, and he couldn't help but glance at the little girl who was still in a coma.

The old man noticed Yi Xing's expression and asked Yi Xing to probe the little girl for him. The old man told Yi Xing that the little girl was fine, but it was just caused by restlessness and exhaustion before, and it was good to rest for a while.
