Qijian City, the inner city.

The Shattered Sea King and the man in the green shirt stood on the high floor, looking down at the brightly lit city below.

"You say, isn't it too cruel for us to do this?" Looking at the scenery outside, the Shattered Sea King suddenly spoke: "How many people can really break through the Sealed Sword Ring and leave here? Most of them have spent a good time here." ”

"Every once in a while, you reflect like that. The man in the green shirt smiled, not surprised by the question of the Broken Sea King.

"All I can say is that this is the arrangement above, and it has its own intentions. ”

"However, from my point of view, if you can't even get out of here, then you can't go to most places in the Sword Realm. ”

The man in the green shirt said lightly.

The Shattered Sea King nodded slightly, he also understood this truth.

People from the lower realm, compared with the sword cultivation of the sword world, have a natural disadvantage, if they are not tempered by Qi Sword City and reborn from the fire, then even if they enter the sword world, they will only be reduced to the bottom of the people, life and death are not their own, and the situation may not be better than in Qi Sword City.

At the very least, life here is peaceful and peaceful.

"Chen Mo, can you get out of here?" The Shattered Sea King's gaze pierced through the void and looked into the depths of darkness.

……

"Crunch. ”

The door of the leaky wooden house was pushed open, and Fang Shen slowly walked out, outside, the cold wind was fierce.

Another year.

It had been a year since the last time he had met Lu Feng, Yin Zhengqi and the others, and it was also the second year that Fang Shen had entered Qijian City.

Next to it, Li Qing and Geng Ruyue, who originally lived next to Fang Shen, began to accept the status quo after experiencing desperate struggles, and they also moved out from here one after another.

In the case of Fang Shen, two years of hard work. It was undoubtedly easy to find a better residence in the outer city, but Fang Shen didn't mean to do that.

"Qijian City is just a foothold for us, if we really regard this place as our home. If you live here for a long time and really integrate into the life here, it is not so simple to leave. Fang Shen was very sober in his heart, and he always remained calm.

Those who first entered the sword realm would be arranged to live in simple marginal areas, and the conditions were extremely difficult.

Not to mention the pride of these big worlds, even normal people are not willing to stay in such a place for a long time. As soon as there is a condition, they will move away, especially when they realize that they can't leave Qijian City in a short period of time, and after having to accept the status quo, they usually pursue a better life, which is also human nature.

Fang Shen knew very well that once this idea was generated, it would be the beginning of "sinking".

In the face of merciless time. How many kendo geniuses have been silently smoothed out, and how many people's ambitions have turned into nothing.

Of course. This doesn't mean that if you maintain a poor life, you will definitely be able to leave Sword City.

"From the beginning, he maintained a clear will, aimed at leaving the Sword City, and worked hard for it, maintaining a poor life to sharpen himself. It's a road. ”

"Throwing yourself into the sink, falling into the red dust hell, and finally fighting out of the red dust hell, this is also a way. ”

"For me, though. Neither path is necessary. ”

Fang Shen's expression was calm.

The tempering of Qijian City and the test of conscience of the Earth Ancestor City Lord have the same effect, Fang Shen has already experienced it, and he has also killed it.

Compared with Li Qing and the others, Fang Shen's heart has long matured, and he can also look at all kinds of things in the world with a cold eye, so in the eyes of Lu Feng, Yin Zhengqi and others, the calm Fang Shen has become an alternative, not at all like a person who has just entered the sword world.

Although the test of conscience is a dream, there is something unreal, but after two years of life in Qijian City, this deficiency has long been made up.

It can be said that Fang Shen already has the mental conditions to open the Sword City, and he is not fascinated by foreign objects.

However, Fang Shen was stuck on how to break through the level of the Sealed Sword Ring, for others, the mental experience was even more difficult to see, but it was not so difficult to break through the Sealed Sword Ring, which was just the opposite of Fang Shen.

The reason is very simple, Fang Shen is not a sword cultivator.

Even if he received Chen Mo's memories, understood sword cultivation, and integrated into himself, he was still a lot behind.

Fang Shen believed that this level would determine whether he could use his earth cultivation body to exert his strength that was not weaker than sword cultivation, or even stronger.

"It's too difficult, how can I send out a sword and break through the sealing sword ring when all my strength is blocked. ”

"Sword cultivation, what the hell is it, it can be regarded as a real sword cultivation. ”

Fang Shen was a little dazed, these could only be experienced by himself.

If you can watch the process of someone breaking through the sealing sword ring, Fang Shen can be enlightened, but it is too difficult to do this, and the last person who broke through the sealing sword ring was more than seven hundred years ago.

For a few days, Fang Shen didn't have a clue, suppressing the faint anxiety in his heart, Fang Shen walked onto the street, ready to drink at the invitation of Lu Feng and others.

In the cold of winter, snow is common.

When he went out on this day, there was heavy snow outside, and by the time Fang Shen walked on the bustling street, thick ice and snow had already accumulated on the road.

"Puff~"

A snowman on the side of the road suddenly falls to the ground.

"Huh?"

Fang Shen's eyes condensed slightly, and then he realized that the snowman turned out to be a person, and the snow accumulated on him, and over time, it turned him into a snowman, but he could no longer support it under the attack of cold and sleep.

The snow and ice were partially shaken off, revealing an old face.

Fang Shen's heart trembled.

The people who entered Qijian City, which one of them was not a heroic young man and woman, even if it was a thousand years, it would not leave the slightest trace on them.

The fact that this person will grow old like this is undoubtedly caused by the despair and torment in his heart.

"It's him again. ”

Passers-by also spotted the fallen old man, and some people who lived nearby recognized his origin.

"He came to Qijian City more than 500 years ago, and after desperate struggles, he suddenly became a demon, and since then he has no contact with anyone, does not live in any house, and lives in a state of confusion, and freezes over every winter. A man said lightly.

"Well, leave him alone, and he won't really die. ”

The crowd quickly dispersed.

They are different from mortals after all, and if they were mortals, they would definitely be dead in this case, but they would have recovered after lying down for a while at most.

However, the life and death torture during this period is not less at all, and not many people are willing to experience it.

"This person. ”

Fang Shen was also about to leave, however, when his gaze swept over the old man, it was suddenly condensed, although it looked lifeless on the surface, but in the old man's body, Fang Shen felt a trace of strength, and it was not sealed by the sealing sword ring.

Over time, this power grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Could it be ......" Fang Shen's heart moved, he was not even in the mood to go to the meeting, he didn't blink, and stared at the old man.

The two of them lay down and stood still.

When others passed by and saw this strange scene, most of them cursed "two fools" in their hearts and hurried away.

Fang Shen ignored the situation in the outside world, he stopped on the ground, the snowflakes kept falling, and gradually, there was another snowman on the side of the road.
