Chapter Seventy-Three: The Blazing Old Man
Qiu Chi realized that the number of stone figures was limited, and after the gems on their bodies were taken away, the gems that were originally stored in their bodies would be automatically replaced.
In this case, Qiu Chi didn't bother to look for other stone figures, so he simply collected enough gems directly on this stone figure.
Qiu Chi repeated his old tricks, but this time the stone man obviously became stronger, and in the face of Qiu Chi's heavy blow, the stone man's other arm no longer protected the gem, and swung towards Qiu Chi hard, knocking him back.
Qiu Chi exhaled, gathered his soul in his fist, and with the Soul Shattering Fist, launched an attack on the stone man.
With the protection of the soul, not only the attack was enhanced, but the pain suffered by Qiu Chi was also reduced a lot, and after a fierce hand-to-hand fight between the two sides, Qiu Chi seized the opportunity to remove the gem from the stone man.
When the stone man loses the gem, his body no longer moves, and he does not come back to life until the next gem appears.
The stone man seemed to have some intelligence, and knew that he was not Qiu Chi's opponent, so he called another stone man.
The two stone figures attacked Qiu Chi one after the other, and Qiu Chi was also caught off guard for a while. Qiu Chi found an opportunity to dodge out and unleash an enchantment to block the stone man.
Qiu Chi was thinking about how to deal with the two stone men in his heart, and the examiner said that weapons and runes were not allowed, but his strongest skill was the Nine Heavens Thunder Slash. Suddenly, a thought appeared in Qiu Chi's mind, if he used the soul sword, would it also be in line with the rules.
The enchantment was quickly broken by the stone man, Qiu Chi didn't have time to think about it, and immediately made up his mind, gathered the soul as a blade, attached it to his hands, and his body moved, and the first form of the Nine Heavens Thunder Slash was sent out.
The stone man did not know swordsmanship, so it was easier to deal with, but he was slow to get the gem on the stone man.
Qiu Chi hit all the attacks on the same stone man, and his back was exposed to another stone man, and the stone man saw this, and rushed towards Qiu Chi with all his might, Qiu Chi adjusted his perception to the maximum, calculated the time, and jumped into the air.
The stone man who rushed over didn't have time to stop, and slammed into the other stone man, and the two stone men fell to the ground with a bang, and Qiu Chi just fell, quickly taking the gem from the stone man.
In this way, Qiu Chi has collected all four, and the last one is still short of passing the assessment.
Qiu Chi didn't have much physical strength left, and it was probably a little reluctant to deal with the two stone figures, so Qiu Chi shifted the target and found a lone stone man.
Qiu Chi Fei stepped forward, there was no void style, and he shouted angrily, and the second form of the Nine Heavens Thunder Slash slashed at the back of the stone man.
The power of the second type was extremely strong, and the indestructible stone man was cut out of a deep ravine.
Qiu Chi took the opportunity to go around to the stone man and took the gem from the stone man. The examiner outside the house saw this scene through the magic circle, and was immediately surprised, he knew the material of the stone man, even if it was the strength of the peak of the rank level, it was difficult to make a mark on it, and this young man did not reflect the strength of the peak of the rank from beginning to end, that is to say, this blow was only his explosive power, what kind of explosive power that only a demonic genius could have.
After taking enough of the five gems, Qiu Chi stopped staying and immediately ran towards the exit.
When he was about to reach the exit, a teenager suddenly flew down in front of Qiu Chi, Qiu Chi was stunned for a moment, stepped forward to help him up, and asked, "Are you okay?"
The young man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you, I'm fine." ”
Qiu Chi nodded, and was about to leave, when the young man suddenly spoke, "Friend, how about you and I join forces?"
Qiu Chi turned around, clenched his fists and said, "No, I've already collected enough gems." ”
A hint of loss flashed in the young man's eyes, and he smiled bitterly: "Okay." ”
Qiu Chi looked at the young man's unwilling expression, and couldn't bear to say, "How many gems are you missing?"
The young man replied truthfully, "There is still one left, but the soul in my body has been exhausted, and I can't fight against the stone man." ”
Qiu Chi hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll help you." ”
The boy seemed to be a little unconvinced of his ears and asked, "Really?"
Qiu Chi nodded seriously and said, "You and I join forces, it should be quite easy to deal with a stone man." ”
A warm current surged through the young man's heart, and he said "um" and bowed to Qiuchi.
The two found a stone man, Qiu Chi fought hard with him, the boy found the opportunity to get the gem, the two cooperated tacitly, and soon got the last gem.
Akichi patted the boy on the shoulder, smiled encouragingly, and turned to leave.
After Qiu Chi came out, he showed the examiner the five gems he had gotten, but the examiner whispered, "You come with me, our city lord wants to see you." ”
Qiu Chi frowned, how could the city lord suddenly want to see him, could it be that the elder of the registration office informed the city lord.
The examiner led the way in front, and Qiu Chi followed, what was going on, and when he saw the city lord, he naturally knew it.
After a short time, the examiner took Qiu Chi to a large hall, where a red-haired old man was sitting on the throne of the city lord with his eyes closed.
The examiner saluted and said, "My lord, I brought someone here." ”
The red-haired old man opened his eyes, glanced at Qiu Chi, and ordered, "You should retreat first." ”
The guards respectfully retreated, leaving only Qiu Chi and the red-haired old man in the huge hall.
Qiu Chi took the lead in saluting and said, "Meet the city lord." ”
The red-haired old man smiled and nodded, he was the city lord of this Yanyun City, known as the "Blazing Old Man". The character of the blazing old man is the same as his title, and his temper is relatively short-tempered on weekdays, but he is still honest and enthusiastic.
The Blazing Old Man asked, "What's your name?"
Akichi replied, "Junior Akichi." ”
"Then do you know why I called you?"
Akichi cautiously replied, "I have never met the lord of the castle, and I really don't know why the lord is looking for me. ”
The Blazing Old Man smiled slightly, and quipped: "Your performance in the assessment process is amazing, haha, it seems that this city lord is old and dizzy, and he didn't know that there was such a genius in my Yanyun City." ”
Qiu Chi lowered his head and said in fear: "The city lord is serious, I, Qiu Chi, am an unknown person, how dare I bear the name of this genius." ”
The blazing old man's tone suddenly stern: "Hehe, is it? Tell me honestly, who are you, where do you come from, and what is your purpose?"
Qiu Chi saw that the other party had seen through his identity, so he simply told him frankly, so as not to cause misunderstanding among the other party.
"Please also ask the city lord to forgive me, the younger generation is from Jiangyi City, come here to buy Longyang stone, and I encounter the secret realm to open, and I want to try my luck. ”
Qiu Chi's tone was sincere, and the Blazing Old Man couldn't hear that there was any problem, so he said, "Jiangyi City?
Qiu Chi immediately nodded and asked, "Do you recognize our city lord?"
The blazing old man smiled and feigned anger: "This old thing, why is it not dead yet." ”
Although the blazing old man sounded very disgusted with Chen Yuan, his eyes and tone were not, and all of this was in Qiu Chi's eyes.
Qiu Chi speculated: "You and our city lord are close friends, right?"
The Blazing Old Man was a little surprised by Qiu Chi's speculation, and asked rhetorically, "Why do you say that?"
Akichi explained, "From your tone and attitude, you can tell that you don't hate our city lord. ”
The Blazing Old Man sighed and said, "Indeed, I am close friends with your city lord, but because of some small conflicts back then, we haven't seen each other for a long time. He is really cautious enough, how old he is, and he is as angry as a child. ”
Qiu Chi couldn't help but smile, it seems that the old man in front of him still has a past with Chen Yuan.
The blazing old man suddenly asked, "What are you buying the Longyang Stone for?"
"I can't hide it, it was our city lord who asked me to come. ”
"Oh, hehe, I didn't come, but I sent a child, how can this old thing live more and more backwards. Hand over the Longyang Stone, you can't take it back. ”
Qiu Chi was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Why is this?"
"Let him buy it himself. ”
Qiu Chi smiled bitterly and said, "City Lord, don't be joking, the stakes are very high, and I have to go back as soon as possible to recover my life." ”
"Big things? What big things can he do. ”
"Human lives are at stake. ”
The blazing old man frowned, his voice instantly became serious, and he said, "Make it clear!"
Qiu Chi had no choice but to tell the current situation of Jiang Yi City to the Blazing Old Man, maybe he could help him.
When the old man heard this, he was furious and said, "Presumptuous! Who dares to murder the city lord?! When the old man finds him, he must not pick his skin!"
Qiu Chi saluted and said, "The form is critical, and I hope that the adults will help." ”
The blazing old man eased his emotions and said coldly, "How can I trust you?"
Qiu Chi took out the city lord's order and handed it to the blazing old man to look at, the blazing old man's eyes widened, and he murmured, "The city lord's order! Who are you?"
Akichi replied, "Someone he can trust." ”
When the blazing old man saw the city lord's order, he no longer had any doubts about Qiu Chi in his heart, and agreed: "Okay! I'll help you!"
Qiu Chi thanked him: "Qiu Chi is here to thank you for the city lord, I will search for the whereabouts of the Gathering Spirit Fairy Grass in the secret realm on this trip, if I can find the best, if I can't find it, I'm afraid you need to bother more." ”
The Blazing Old Man waved his hand and said, "For small matters, I will order people to look for them in a few nearby cities." ”
Qiu Chi advised: "Try not to be quiet, also, I have a hunch, Jiang Yicheng is afraid that there will be chaos, and when the time comes, I may need your help." ”
The blazing old man took out a piece of red jade, handed it to Qiu Chi and said, "You take this piece of jade, crush it in an emergency, and I will come as soon as possible." ”
Qiu Chi put away the jade and said goodbye: "The juniors have left first." ”
Qiu Chi was about to leave, when the blazing old man suddenly asked, "Boy, what are you cultivating?"
Qiu Chi scratched his head, puzzled: "I can't tell this for a while." ”
The blazing old man shook his head with a smile, and snorted coldly: "Then I won't force you, let's go." ”
Qiu Chi turned to leave, and after Qiu Chi walked away, the blazing old man shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan, you don't tell me about such a big thing, alas!"
After Qiu Chi came out, he first went to the examiner and asked, "Are there any other assessments?"
The examiner shook his head and said, "Congratulations, you have passed the assessment." ”
