"Ah?!! eat, eat ?!!"

An Yangyu was startled and said in horror: "Big Island Master, what do you say you want to eat?"

An uneasiness spread in his heart, and he had already seen the huge dragon head of the Great Island Lord slowly open its mouth and salivate and fall.

"No, no, big island master!"

Without waiting for the big island owner to answer, An Yangyu already knew his fate, and he was so frightened that he couldn't stand on his feet anymore, and when a left foot bone was turned, he fell to the ground on the spot, trembling all over, crying darkly.

"Didn't you say you wanted to help me get revenge?"

A cold glint erupted in the big island lord's eyes, and he shouted, "Are you lying to me?"

"No, no, only, just...... I ......"

An Yangyu broke out in a cold sweat and said tremblingly: "It's just that the master has raised me for more than 20 years, and I haven't been able to repay the master, so I can't bear to leave." ”

The lord of the big island said: "You are really a filial child, if your master knows that you have sacrificed himself for me, he will definitely be proud of you." ”

"Let's, let's, let me see, see the master's most, the most, the last, say, say goodbye to his old man, old man. ”

An Yangyu was so frightened that he couldn't speak, his lips trembled, his body trembled, and he cried directly "wow" in the back, "Woo woo...... , Master, Master, save me!"

"No need. ”

The big island owner refused, and a huge claw appeared in the air, grabbed An Yangyu suddenly, threw it directly into his mouth and chewed it, making a tooth-sore "squeak" sound.

An Yangyu didn't even let out a scream, and was completely chewed.

The sound of chewing bones continued for a while, and the huge dragon head swallowed, slowly closed its eyes, and recovered its body.

"Well, it is worthy of being an eighth-order soul refiner, and it is of great benefit to me. ”

The big island master seemed to have absorbed all the nutrients of An Yang Yu, and opened his eyes suddenly, and there was a ghostly light in his dark green eyes. A wet tongue comes out of his mouth and licks his lips as if he has an aftertaste.

The small courtyard of the Trap Island, in the mysterious space.

Under complete despair, Ruan Xiquan was blasted into the earth by thunder, and the whole person did not know whether he was alive or dead.

In the distance, Yan Shushu was also desperate in his heart, under the persecution of Jing Yongye's moves, he had no strength to fight back, and kept begging for mercy: "Lord Yongye, I know that I was wrong, I sincerely regret it, and I hope to surround my dog's life!"

"Don't insult a creature like a dog!"

Jing Yongye spat disdainfully, and the palm power in his hand was a little more powerful, completely forcing all the retreats of Yan Shushu to death, and he tried his best to make moves.

"Yes, yes, I'm not as good as a dog. My lord, you killed me too much to demean your identity, just spare me if you want to know me!"

With Yan Shushu's strength, if he did it with all his might, even if he was defeated by Jing Yongye, he would not be defeated so quickly, but he knew that the defeat was decided, and he had no intention of fighting at all, and kept begging for mercy wholeheartedly, so he had already fallen into a dead state under a few moves, and his face was full of tears.

"Hehe, the warriors of the human race are really different, it opened my eyes, haha!"

Yan Xiang couldn't help but sneer loudly, and glanced at everyone contemptuously.

Narcissus was also puzzled and said, "The opponent obviously refuses to let him go, why do you still beg for mercy in such a low voice?"

Yan Xiang smiled: "I can't answer Princess Narcissus's doubts, this is probably an excellent quality flowing in the blood of the Terran warriors." ”

Hearing this, Ye Xuan turned around and said sneeringly: "It is better for the people of our clan to beg for mercy and survive before they die than for the people of the Sea Clan to stimulate the power of the bloodline before they die and return to their ancestors to become beasts and explode themselves." ”

Yan Xiang said angrily: "I! Your clan's greed for life and fear of death, how can it be compared with my clan's warriors who are not afraid of death?"

Ye Xuan snorted contemptuously, and said leisurely: "In the face of death, one relies on his IQ to survive in every possible way, and the other is a sea beast that degenerates into a sea beast with no IQ and explodes, which one do you say is stronger?"

"This ......"

Yan Xiang was dumbfounded, obviously two completely different qualities, one is greedy for life and afraid of death and begs for mercy, and the other is heroic and not afraid of sacrifice. But in Ye Xuan's mouth, such a comparison completely changed the taste, and he was difficult to refute all of a sudden.

Narcissus was also stunned for a moment, and nodded lightly: "It seems to make some sense." ”

Yan Xiang's face sank, and he said coldly: "Princess Narcissus, don't be fooled by this person, the kung fu on his mouth is invincible in the world." If there is a hierarchy of mouth skills, this person is already in the Ten Directions God Realm. ”

Although those Terran people were also hostile to Yan Xiang, they all felt that this sentence made sense, and many people nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, the ground in the distance broke open with a "bang", Ruan Xiquan came out with a disgraced face, knelt down on the spot, and kowtowed directly: "Master Xuan, spare me, I am willing to be a slave and a servant, please don't kill me!"

All the Terran warriors were flushed, and Ye Xuan had just dismissed a little face for them from his mouth, and he was immediately lost by this person.

Bei Ming Kangtian couldn't help it, and rebuked angrily: "Ruan Xiquan! Death is lighter than a feather and heavier than Mount Tai, do you still look like a Martial Emperor powerhouse? Don't insult the four words Nine Heavens Martial Emperor!"

Ruan Xiquan looked at the North Darkness Heavenly Heaven, his eyes burst out with incomparable anger, and he gritted his teeth and roared: "The Northern Heavenly Heavenly Horseman!

Bei Ming snorted coldly: "Hmph, saving you from such a coward is simply dirty old man's hands." ”

"If you don't save me, I'm going to die anyway, I'll pull you as a cushion first!"

Ruan Xiquan rushed up from the ground in a rage, roaring and rushing towards the northern sky. His eyes were red, his teeth were dancing, and his face was almost deformed.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, it was Ye Xuan who wanted to kill him, why did his anger turn to Bei Ming Kangtian instead?

It's a weird, incomprehensible crazy world.

Beiming Kangtian was also angry, and he was furious, and roared: "Bastard, don't distinguish between right and wrong, I don't have any grudges with you!"

Ruan Xiquan's eyes were full of ridicule and crazy mockery, and he laughed and said: "Haha, there is no grudge? If you don't save me, I want you to die if you watch me being killed!"

The momentum on his body instantly swelled to its peak, and he pounced directly towards the North Heaven, as if he was about to die together.

Bei Ming Kangtian looked angry, the cold qi on his body bloomed, and he slowly raised his right hand, and volleyed it with a palm.

A cold and piercing palm print appeared in the air and slammed into Ruan Xiquan's body, like a huge mountain pressing down, completely suppressing the monkey.

"Bang!"

Unlike Ye Xuan's thunder and lightning that blasted him into the ground before, this palm directly penetrated his body, shattering Ruan Xiquan's entire body in the air, turning into countless ice cubes, which fell to the ground one after another.

"Hmph!

After Bei Ming Kangtian killed Ruan Xiquan with one palm, the anger on his body slowly receded, with a look of contempt and disdain.

Everyone also shook their heads secretly, a generation of masters of Rising Sun City fell like this, and before they died, they were embarrassed.

Even Olechi felt that his face was dull, and he always felt that everyone was staring at him, and his face turned red.

Ye Xuan suddenly said, "Elder Kangtian, this Lord Ruan Xiquan of Rising Sun City has no grievances with you, how did you kill him?"

Everyone's hearts jumped suddenly, and their eyes flashed with essence, and they began to think about the chill of Ye Xuan's words.

Bei Ming Kangtian's face also sank, and he said coldly: "Ye Xuan, what do you mean by this?"

Ye Xuan smiled indifferently: "It's not interesting." The Rising Sun City and the North Underworld Xuangong are both seven super forces, one east and one north, watching each other from afar, and they can be regarded as allies. A Nine Heavens Martial Emperor of Rising Sun City was angry before he died, and it was normal for his brain to be confused, and you killed him without paying attention...... , Hehe, I'm afraid that this matter will not have a good impact on the Northern Underworld Xuangong. ”

Everyone was in their hearts, and said secretly: Yes, then Ruan Xiquan just went crazy and was dizzy before he died, this is not a crime to death, right? Ye Xuan has a reason to kill him, why did you kill the people of the Rising Sun City by the elders of the Northern Underworld Xuan Palace?

Bei Ming Kangtian's face changed greatly, it was normal to kill Ruan Xiquan under the circumstances just now, but after Ye Xuan's analysis, it was indeed wrong for him to do it.

This kind of thing can be big or small, and if you grasp this point and study it deeply, it will really be a big trouble that affects the relationship between the two factions.

The wind from the North Darkness also said angrily: "Ye Xuan, you don't want to stir up right and wrong! My relationship between the Northern Darkness Xuan Palace and the Rising Sun City has always been good, how can you slander and disintegrate with just a few words!"

Ye Xuan smiled: "I've always been a good friend, so why kill him?"

Everyone moved their eyes to the north and the wind came from the north, and they were all puzzled. Yes, since you have always been friendly, why kill him?

"This, this ......"

A cold sweat also broke out on his forehead, and he didn't know how to explain it. He suddenly had an idea, and said to Le Chi: "Lord Le Chi, you have seen everything just now, and Elder Kang Tian had no choice but to kill him, so he took advantage of the situation. ”

A look flashed on E Lechi's face, and he suddenly became nervous, and he also resented the refusal of the Northern Underworld Xuangong to rescue him, but if he made accusations at this moment, he was afraid that he would be in danger in the next journey.

But his attitude at the moment is equivalent to the attitude of Rising Sun City, if he doesn't accuse, wouldn't he bow to the Northern Hell Xuan Palace from the attitude, and let Ruan Xiquan be killed in vain?

In fact, he didn't care about Ruan Xiquan's death, he was concerned about the attitude of the Northern Xuan Palace towards them, for fear that he would become the second Ruan Xiquan.

He thought for a while, rolled his eyes, and said: "I saw the matter just now, as for the right and wrong, it is difficult to judge for a while, I will definitely report to Master Tang Qing as it is when I go back." ”

Bei Minglaifeng's face sank, and he secretly cursed the old fox.

They all understood the meaning of Elechi's words, that is, right and wrong are all up to me, and whether it is good or bad will be decided when I go back.

Everyone present was an old fox, and those scattered martial artists were relatively simple, and which of these people who were mixed in the sect was not a master of intrigue, and immediately understood Ele Chi's thoughts.

Bei Ming Kangtian snorted and said, "Then I bother Lord Lechi to explain the matter to Old Man Tang Qing clearly, the old man was indeed impulsive just now." ”

Seeing that Beiming Kangtian admitted his mistake, E Lechi was secretly happy in his heart, and said with a straight face: "Don't worry, none of us are happy about this kind of thing, but the matter has come to this point and cannot be reversed." Mourn, all of you. ”

Everyone also sighed, shaking their heads one by one, looking very sad.

Narcissus asked puzzledly: "Yan Xiang, why don't I understand what they said?" It seems that they seem to be very sad about the death of that person just now, but it is precisely because they didn't save him that the person died just now, so why are they sad?"

Everyone was blushing, this little girl was completely ignorant of the world, she was a child, and she directly pierced their hypocrisy, and her old faces were dull.

Yan Xiang couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha, this is their self-proclaimed IQ, we don't understand." ”

Bei Ying Laifeng glared at him angrily, and explained softly: "Princess Narcissus, don't listen to this demon's nonsense, this is the most basic etiquette among our human race. The so-called deceased is great, which is a kind of respect and remembrance of the deceased, or mourning. ”

"Yes, yes, that's mourning. ”

The rest of the martial artists also chimed in and said, "What the young man said is right. Lord Xiquan has unfortunately gone, so let's all cheer up. ”

Narcissus became more and more confused, his face was completely confused, and he said, "But ...... But just now the man begged you to save him, but you didn't save him. ”

She raised her hand and pointed to Yan Shushu, who was dying and about to hang up, and said, "Now that he is about to be killed, will you also mourn him later?"

Everyone came with their mouths wide open, not knowing how to answer.

Yan Xiang laughed heartily, his eyes full of contempt and ridicule for everyone.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Ye Xuan also felt that his face was dull, coughed a few times, and said, "He won't die." ”

He shouted, "Lord Eternal Night, stop. I'm going to hand him over to the Trap Island. ”

Over there, Jing Yongye's murderous fight was so fierce that he had already beaten Yan Shushu to the death, and after hearing Ye Xuan's words, a trace of fierceness flashed on his face, and he directly pointed at the other party's lower abdomen.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound erupted in Yan Shushu's dantian, the entire sea of qi was exploded, and there was a "hiss" leaking sound on his body, and the whole person's yuan power was completely discharged.

"Ahh

Yan Shushu screamed in pain, and his eyes were full of despair. The foundation of the martial arts was directly destroyed, and he changed from a martial emperor powerhouse to a wasted person in an instant, and he was not even as good as an ordinary mortal.

The physical and mental trauma overlapped, and the whole person fainted in an instant.

Jing Yongye dragged him over like a dead dog and threw him at Ye Xuan's feet, only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief, his revenge was avenged, and the whole person felt much more relaxed.

"Ye Xuan, you are so bold!"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout outside, and he saw a ray of light galloping towards him, and Zhao Shao appeared in front of him in an instant, his eyes flashing with boundless murderous aura, staring at him coldly.

Everyone was in their hearts, and the Lord of the Secret Dao had finally come.

Bei Ying Laifeng was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Wen Zhan, the beloved disciple was injured by Ye Xuan alone, and it has nothing to do with the rest of us. Whether you fight or kill, please feel free, you don't need to give us face. ”

"Oh, Ye Xuan, what else do you have to say?"

A murderous aura erupted from Zhao Yao's body, and the temperature around him dropped instantly.

Ye Xuan's pupils shrank, and he said coldly: "The disciples were provoked by others, so they offended me." Now the person who instigated has been punished by me, and Mr. Wen Zhan will be punished at will. If you are still not satisfied, then you can do whatever you want. ”

Zhao Yao glanced at Yan Shushu, who looked like a dead dog on the ground, and sneered: "Hmph, just get a dead dog to deal with it?

Ye Xuan clasped his hands in front of him, stood quietly in the sky, and said, "I have already said, you can do whatever you want." ”

He looked like he was not afraid of heaven and earth, which made Zhao Yao furious, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I will repay you how you love my disciple!"

Zhao Shao's body was full of momentum, and he said in a cold voice: "Don't say that I didn't give you a chance, since you are also a ninth-order soul refiner, as long as you can overpower me in soul power, this matter will be revealed, otherwise...... Hmph!"

Ye Xuan still looked indifferent, but his eyes became colder and colder, and he hummed, "Please." ”

As soon as the war was declared, the atmosphere between the two suddenly became extremely abnormal, in addition to the extreme cold, the space began to twist and tangle like a twist.

Everyone's faces changed drastically, and they retreated one after another, for fear of being caught in it.

Both Bei Ying Laifeng and Yan Xiang became nervous, staring closely at the two of them's every move, hoping that Ye Xuan's beheaded corpse would be fine.

But the two of them didn't move, keeping a fixed distance from each other, but the space kept changing around them, twisting into various shapes, leaving the people watching stunned one by one.

"Heavenly Feather Wind Groan!"

Zhao Yao moved first, pinched the trick with both hands, and drank softly in his mouth.

The space around him suddenly tightened, as if it was suppressed by something, and then suddenly exploded with a "bang", exploding countless feather-like spiritual impacts, sprinkled one after another, like snow flying in the sky, floating towards Ye Xuan.

"Okay! This is Tianyu Fengyin, the one your apprentice casts is called a ****!"

Ye Xuan praised and immediately pinched the trick with one hand.

An invisible force rippled from his body, like a film of water, shallowly attached to the skin, and those feathers fell one by one, directly on the layer of water, and they were stopped by the slightest penetration, unable to hurt the body.

In an instant, Ye Xuan's whole person was covered with white feathers, like a big white goose.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Zhao's mouth, and he said, "If you only have this defense, then it's all over." ”

Ye Xuan's face changed slightly, and a cold color burst out in his eyes.

The seal in Zhaoyao's hand changed, and he exhaled in a cold voice: "Explosion!"

"Boom!"

The space shook violently, and there was no fluctuation of the yuan force, and the extremely strong spiritual impact spread out in the air, and the white feathers that had manifested their soul power all exploded at this moment, turning into spiritual vortices one after another, not only bombarding in all directions, but also fusing one by one, getting bigger and bigger.

"Ahh

Ye Xuan let out a miserable scream, and the whole person fell directly into the huge spiritual whirlpool, his body continued to twist with the changes in space, and he screamed with exhaustion while holding his head with both hands, and blood oozed from the seven holes.

Both the North Wind and the Leap Xiang were in a burst of ecstasy, and they couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts.

Yan Xiang even directly turned into the eyes of a true dragon and stared at the past, sure enough, Ye Xuan had lost the upper hand, everything he saw in front of him was true, and he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

The competition between soul refiners is extremely dangerous, and the martial arts contestants are even more fierce, and if they are not careful, the spirit platform will be lost, and the soul will be injured at the lightest, and the memory will be completely lost, and he will become a fool completely.

"Haha, but Erl!"

Zhao Yao sneered: "This is what happens if you hurt my apprentice, give punishment." ”

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he remembered the words of the big island master, as if this person was still useful, and it was inconvenient to kill.

Only then did he snort coldly and said, "This time is the end of it, if there is a next time, I will not be spared!"

With a little seal in his hand, the spiritual vortex suddenly disappeared invisible, and Ye Xuan's constantly twisted body finally changed back to its original state, lying motionless and quietly in the void, but his face was pale from a distance, and blood oozed from his pores.

Bei Ying Laifeng suddenly shouted: "Mr. Wen Zhan, don't show mercy to your subordinates, don't need to give us face, just kill it!"

Bei Ming Kangtian frowned, revealing an unhappy look, he stared vigilantly, if he dared to kill him, he would definitely come to the rescue.

Zhao Shao ignored everyone, and just said coldly to Ye Xuan: "Get up, don't pretend to be dead." The attack just now only hit your soul hard, and it won't kill you. ”

He waited quietly for a while, and saw that Ye Xuan was still floating motionless, his brows furrowed, and doubts flashed in his eyes.

He took a step forward and walked cautiously forward, each step moving extremely slowly, because the duel between soul refiners was too risky, and any negligence could be fatal.

The doubts in his eyes were getting deeper and deeper, and he always felt that something was wrong.

"Ah?!!h

Zhao Yao suddenly lost his voice and shouted, looking at Ye Xuan who was suspended in the air in horror.

Where is Ye Xuan, it is himself who is lying quietly in the sky bleeding from seven holes!

"How so?"

Suddenly, Zhao Shao only felt that the sky was spinning, and his body, which was quietly suspended in the air, slowly stood up, and his face was also terrified.

His body trembled violently, and he knew that he had been tricked!

He was a ninth-order soul refiner, how could he be hit by someone's spiritual power without noticing?

But the facts are in front of him, and he can't help but believe it.

Fortunately, Zhaoyao's psychological quality is also hard enough, and he woke up in an instant, pinched his hands suddenly, formed a mark in his hand and slowly rose in his hand, and roared: "Break!"

A powerful force rippled from him, and the space around him kept changing, as if it had been washed by heavy rain.

Intense pain came from his mind, the illusion was broken, and he returned to his true state of being, and he was indeed bleeding from seven holes, and his face was pale.

His face was even more gray, his body trembled violently, and he was afraid in his heart. If it weren't for the mercy of his subordinates just now, I'm afraid that he would have completely died under his own trick at this moment, right?

Be kind to others and be kind to yourself!

"What's going on?"

Everyone was amazed and amazed.

To their dismay, they found that the battle between the soul refiners was too strange for them to understand.

Yan Xiang was also shocked, his face changed suddenly, just now his True Dragon Eye obviously saw Ye Xuan injured, how did he turn into a summoning again? Could it be that Ye Xuan's illusion could deceive his True Dragon Eye?

He turned his head sharply, looked at the narcissus on the side, and said, "Princess Narcissus, have you ever seen clearly?"

Narcissus's cold face also showed a trace of doubt, and he said suspiciously: "Just now, there seemed to be a scarlet eye in the void that glared at me fiercely, and my gaze was blocked by a layer of invisible power, and I couldn't see the truth clearly. ”

"Wow!"

Yan Xiang took a breath of cold air, and a monstrous wave set off in his heart.

The bloodline of the Sea Emperor Bo family is born with extreme eye powers, and like their true dragon eyes, they can destroy all false illusions.

His True Dragon Eye is not perfect, after all, his strength is too different from that of a true dragon, but Narcissus's Extreme Eye Divine Power has been completely inherited, and he can't even see through Ye Xuan's illusion?

Yan Xiang turned pale, shook his head slightly, and said secretly: Impossible, impossible, there must be something key in it.

Zhao Yao only felt cold all over his body, and his clothes were all soaked, where did he dare to make another move, and hurriedly said: "Master Xuan, I admit defeat in the next place." Thank you for your mercy!"

"What? Ye Xuan won again?"

Those warriors were stunned, as if they were a little dissatisfied.

"Didn't this guy say that he was a ninth-order soul refiner, a liar, right?"

"That is, no matter how powerful Ye Xuan is, his age is there, it is impossible for both martial arts and martial arts to be so perverted. ”

"Well, there must be a famous one among them. ”

Everyone looked very understanding and nodded one after another.

Not only that, he was more and more frightened of Ye Xuan's strength, only that, he only felt that the slender back standing in front of him was no longer a mountain, but a sea of stars!

He snapped into his senses, coming back from the fear in his heart, and his face was paler than the summoning shake.

The space gradually distorted, and countless fluorescent rays converged from all directions, directly condensing into Ye Xuan's true body, his face was cold, and he was also pale and bloodless, obviously he was not easy in the battle just now.

Narcissus looked at Ye Xuan, and suddenly said, "You, why did your pupils ...... just now?"

Ye Xuan's body shook, his pupils shrank suddenly, and an extremely fierce cold aura shot down, forcing him to look at Narcissus, interrupting her words vividly!

Narcissus trembled, and under that gaze, she actually felt a trace of fear, and her heart was extremely shocked.

She has the supreme blood of the Bo family, she naturally doesn't know what fear is, and there is nothing in this world that makes her feel fear, but at that moment just now, she really felt fear for the first time in her life!

"What's going on?"

After the fear, Narcissus's heart rippled, and he fell into a huge question mark, and a person was stunned next to him.

Ye Xuan retracted his gaze at Narcissus, and thought to himself: This Nizi has really inherited the bloodline of the Bo family, has the true eye that sees through everything, and is born to be the nemesis of my moon pupil!

Seeing Ye Xuan come out, Zhao Yao hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down, and said, "Thank you Lord Xuan for not killing." ”

Ye Xuan said coldly: "You don't need to thank me, you should thank you for your own grace of not killing." ”

Zhao Shao trembled all over, fortunately Oshima mainly left this person, otherwise he would have been doomed.

The entire space was silent all of a sudden, strangely quiet, and the ground was a mess, full of flesh and blood, miserable.

Zhao Yao quickly cleaned up his mood and said with a smile: "Your lords have made an unpleasant situation as soon as they landed on the island, which is really a dereliction of duty, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

He respectfully pleaded guilty, and his attitude was very sincere.

The crowd rose up politely and shouted that it was okay. After all, the identity of the other party's high-level soul refiner was there, and being so polite to himself would never happen on the Tianwu Continent.

Ye Xuan flew down from the air, slowly stepped on the ground, and said indifferently: "It's okay, it's also thanks to your apprentice, I was able to clean up the two unpleasant ones." Your apprentice has meritorious. ”

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat, and if they said it so blatantly, they couldn't help but ignore the Rising Sun City and the Northern Underworld Xuangong in their eyes.

Olechi felt everyone's scrutiny, his face was hot, his back was like a thorn, and he couldn't wait to have a hole in the ground.

Zhao Yao was also stunned, wiped a cold sweat, didn't know how to answer, and could only sneer: "Lord Xuan sees this place like this, and it was arranged in this space in January on the island, are you still satisfied?"

He began to divert the topic, introducing this space mystery, each room was full of a large number of cultivation resources, all of them were Yuan Crystals fished from the bottom of the sea, which were even more precious than Yuan Stones, and those scattered cultivators were all overjoyed to see it, and couldn't help but start to put a large number of them into their storage bags.

Zhao shook and said, "Everyone, this is ......"

One by one, those casual cultivators showed hooligan-like expressions and said, "Hehe, we won't need so much in a month, so we plan to pack it up and take it back." ”

Summoning: "...... , by the way, I forgot, you are from the Northern Underworld Palace?"

Bei Minglaifeng hurriedly shook his head and said, "They have nothing to do with us, although they are on the same road, they are two groups of people, two groups of people." ”

"Two groups of people, it's too unkind to talk like this, isn't it?"

"That is, let's be born and die together. Now it's just a few pieces of Yuan Crystal, and it's become two batches of people?"

"It's too chilling, before going to sea, I called someone Xiao Tiantian, and now I call someone Mrs. Niu!"

Bei Minglaifeng's face was embarrassed, especially when he saw that there was something strange in Narcissus's eyes, he finally couldn't help it, and yelled: "Shut up if you don't want to die!"

He roared in anger, and sure enough, it worked. These casual cultivators just wanted to get some money, and no one would really offend the Northern Netherworld family, so they bowed their heads and collected Yuan Jing one after another, and no longer said anything.

Zhao Yao smiled and said, "The powerhouses of your faction are really humorous. ”

Bei Minglaifeng's face sank, he was red, and emphasized: "It's said that it's two batches of people!"

"Okay, okay, no need to explain!"

Zhao Yao interrupted directly, and turned to Narcissus: "Princess Narcissus, your identity is too noble, I have prepared the best room for you." And Lord Yanxiang and Lord Feiming will go together. After all, Trap Island is a force in the East China Sea, and it is also under the command of the Lord of the East China Sea. ”

Yan Xiang's eyes looked at Narcissus, and there was a look of solicitation in his eyes.

Narcissus thought for a while, then turned his gaze to Ye Xuan, pointed at him and said, "No, I want to live with him." ”

"Whoa!"

Everyone exploded, one by one, they were stunned, and even the warriors who robbed Yuan Jing all stopped, opened their mouths wide, and Yuan Jing forgot to put it in the storage bag when he held it in his hand.

Ye Xuan also opened his mouth wide, and cold sweat broke out on his face.

Bei Yinglaifeng's face directly turned into pig liver, his eyes erupted with sky-high anger, staring at Ye Xuan deadly, and his ten fingernails were directly pinched into the meat.

Zhao shook the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Princess Narcissus, you are too unrestrained." Your status is noble, if something goes wrong, we can't afford to be trapped on Sky Island. ”

Narcissus's face was still calm, staring at Ye Xuan coldly, and said, "If you take the natal artifact of the magic sand, if you don't return it to me, I will follow you!"

"Whew!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, patted their chests, and continued to coax Yuan Jing up.

Bei Ying Laifeng was stunned for a moment, and his face returned to normal, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. He was shocked to find that he had completely fallen into a fascination with narcissus, which was a great obstacle to a genius in martial arts.

But how can people control their feelings? He also found that he was entering a catastrophe, but he could not keep his pace.

Bei Yinglaifeng's eyes showed a look of infatuation, and his eyes fell greedily on Narcissus, admiring her every move and smiling.

His demeanor fell on the eyes of the Northern Darkness, revealing a deep look of worry and worry.

Ye Xuan smiled slyly: "Didn't you say it just now, what do you want to do with me to save the Demon Sand? ”

Narcissus said: "Don't lie to me! I have been thinking about this sentence for a long time just now, and there is a problem. It was Yan Xiang who injured the demon sand, but his natal weapon is in your hands, and the demon sand still has to find you. ”

Yan Xiang's face was innocent, and he cried and said, "Princess Narcissus, you just figured it out......"

A trace of coldness flashed in Narcissus's eyes, and he said coldly: "Ye Xuan, if you don't hand over Heiyan Mountain, don't blame me for being unkind to you!"

Ye Xuan's eyes rolled and he said with a smile: "It's okay to want that Black Flame Mountain, but Princess Narcissus has to exchange one thing." ”

Narcissus frowned and said, "What's it? I don't have much on me." ”

Ye Xuan squinted his eyes and smiled: "You must have this thing on you." ”

His **** expression of looking up and down fell in everyone's eyes, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Bei Ying Laifeng was even more angry and said: "Ye Xuan, what kind of ghost idea do you have in your head, hurry up and dispel it for me!"

Yan Xiang's face was also cold, and he shouted: "Ye Xuan, if you make such a request, I will definitely kill you now!"

Narcissus looked confused and said, "What is the request? Why do you all seem to know his request, why don't I know?"

Everyone was sweating profusely, and they couldn't explain it, but they all stared at Ye Xuan deadly, for fear that he would say something rebellious.

Ye Xuan's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he stared at Narcissus and said, "Simple, it's your blood." ”

"What?!"

The faces of the people changed drastically, like thunder falling, and they were shocked one by one.

The request was even more shocking than they had expected, and they all showed expressions of great fear.

Yan Xiang was also shocked and shouted: "Ye Xuan, you dare to make up your mind with the blood of the Sea Emperor, there is no one to save you in the sky and on the earth!"

Ye Xuan sneered: "I can hear this sentence in my ears, can you change it? Even if there is no one in the sky or on the ground to save me, what does it have to do with you, what are you excited about?"

"You! Damn you! This is a great disrespect to the Sea Emperor!"

Fire erupted from Yan Xiang's eyes, after all, the Sea Emperor was one of the three people he admired the most, and he could not tolerate blasphemy.

Ye Xuan said contemptuously: "You also know that he is only the Emperor of the Sea, not the Emperor of the People, first of all, does he respect me? If not, then why should I respect him? If you want to gain the respect of others, you must first respect others, this is the simplest truth of being a man, you Sea Emperor don't understand, right?"

"You, you ......"

Yan Xiang couldn't say it in his heart, and said angrily: "In short, you are a great capital crime!"

Narcissus also looked ugly all of a sudden, gritted his teeth and said: "Father once said that the bloodline of our Bo family is very noble, and no one in the world dares to make up his mind, otherwise he will kill that person even if he goes to heaven and earth." ”

Ye Xuan spread out his hands and said helplessly: "That's no way, buying and selling is free, I like Heiyan Mountain very much, let's go." ”

After he finished speaking, he ignored everyone's stunned expressions and walked directly towards a courtyard.

The three of the Sea Clan all had gloomy faces, and they said in a cold voice: "This person is lawless, why don't you let me find a chance to never suffer in the future and snatch that Black Flame Mountain back?"

Narcissus saw Ye Xuan disappear into the small courtyard, and she also had a cold face and wanted to follow, but Yan Xiang and the others were shocked and hurriedly stopped her.

Zhao Yao was also covered with cold sweat, if he let Narcissus follow, then Ye Xuan would have an accident recklessly, and the Sky Island would really be over, he hurriedly said: "I see that although Mr. Mosha is seriously injured, he is not dead, why don't you let me try to treat it first?"

"Yes, Mr. Wen Zhan is a ninth-order soul refiner, there must be a way!"

Yan Xiang also hurriedly said, he now regrets that he has hit the magic sand hard and caused so much trouble.

Narcissus hesitated slightly, and said, "Okay, just according to Mr. Wen Zhan's words." ”

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and Zhao Yao greeted everyone, and then left with the three of them.

The Xuanqi space is huge, and everyone can almost be assigned to a small courtyard, and they will soon move in.

Liao Yangbing pondered for a while, walked to Ye Xuan's small courtyard, condensed a piece of information in the jade plate, and entered it, and then settled nearby.

There are separate cultivation rooms in the small courtyard, and as soon as Ye Xuan enters it, he casually makes a few prohibitions to isolate the entire secret room space from being peeped at by the outside world.

You must know that this kind of spatial mystic weapon is very likely to have been refined by Zhaoyao, so Zhaoyao, as the owner of the spatial mystery, can sense every move in it.

After doing all this, he flipped it over with one hand, and the black flame mountain directly appeared in the palm of his hand, emitting a scorching light, and black flames erupted one after another.

Suddenly, those flames condensed on the black mountain, gathered into a beast head, which was exactly the appearance of the magic sand, and rushed down with a loud roar.

Ye Xuan smiled indifferently, this was just a demonic sand divine thought left on the Black Flame Mountain, driving the power of the Xuan Weapon and the Flame to attack.

The corners of his mouth showed a sneering color, and the primeval eyes at the center of his eyebrows opened, and suddenly spewed out a reddish hot fire.

The beast head condensed by the black flame suddenly convulsed, revealing a frightened expression, and retreated behind it without caring about the attack, and at the same time drove the black flame mountain to bombard down.

"Bang!"

The black flame mountain smashed on the divine fire, and immediately became several times larger, filling half of the space at once, emitting a black light, constantly resisting the divine fire. The beast's head also flew directly into the mountain, and black flames poured out from the mountain, separating the divine fire.

"Hmph, it's really a mysterious weapon refined by Tianyao Sunspot!"

Ye Xuan's eyes lit up, revealing a look of great joy.

Every 100,000 years of the sun's rotation, it produces an extremely strong celestial phenomenon, which gradually condenses a sunspot particle in the extremely hot interior, and produces an irresible energy storm around each particle.

As time passed, there were more and more sunspots, and the storms increased, and eventually these sunspots and the storm came together to produce a vision called Tenyao!

Once Tianyao appeared, it was the power of destroying the world to impact the quadrupole ring, accompanied by a large number of flame meteorites falling into the Tianwu Realm, and those meteorites were sometimes mixed with some sunspot particles.

This kind of sunspot particles have no solubility and do not melt into fire, so it is also the best material for refining fire-based mysteries. But because there is no fire-soluble material in the world, sunspot particles have long been considered useless.

Until the appearance of a genius soul refiner, he believed that all things were born from the five elements, and they would never exist in the five elements. In the end, he finally found a method of refining, which was to dissolve it with extremely strong wind elements, and since then, sunspot particles have become top-level refining raw materials.

In his previous life, Ye Xuan had searched for sunspot particles many times, wanting to refine a magic tripod, but now that he has the mountains and rivers tripod, he doesn't need it anymore.

"The weight of this Tianyao Black Mountain is sufficient, but the level of this black flame is too low, if it is integrated into my divine fire, then the power cannot be the same. ”

Ye Xuan raised the hammer high and smashed it fiercely on the Black Flame Mountain, and the power of thunder and lightning shook into it.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The mountain was undamaged under the thunder, but the Demon Sand Divine Thoughts that resided in it were constantly impacted by the lightning.

"Roar!"

An angry roar came from inside, and countless black flames gathered into a beast head again and rushed out from inside.

But as soon as he appeared, he was directly put out by the divine fire that scorched the black mountain outside, and extinguished the black flame like a basin of water.

"Ahh

There was a painful wail from Mosha's divine thought, and it finally vanished.

The divine fire did not extinguish the black flame, but if you look closely, you will find that the color of the flame has changed a little, and it has directly absorbed the black flame.

At this moment, on the island of the Trap, in a very gorgeous residence.

Zhao Yao was leading the three of the Sea Clan to settle down, and suddenly the Demon Sand Commander who was held by the Golden Armor Guardian screamed loudly, his body was straight, and his eyes bulged out directly.

Several people were shocked, and Narcissus was even more shocked: "Mosha, what's wrong with you?"

Mosha made a hoarse voice in his throat, as if he wanted to say something, but he still couldn't support it, and as soon as Quan Song's strength was released, the whole person fainted again.

Narcissus panicked, "Mr. Wen Zhan, what's wrong with Mosha?"

Zhao Yao hurriedly probed his divine sense into the body of the demon sand, his face became gloomy and uncertain, and after a while, he withdrew his divine consciousness and bowed his head silently.

Yan Xiang said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wen Zhan, what happened to him just now?"

Zhao Yao hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "If I guess correctly, his natal mystic weapon has been refined by Ye Xuan, cutting off the little connection between him and the mystical weapon, so his mind is backlashed." ”

"Damn Ye Xuan!"

A cold chill flashed in Narcissus's eyes, and golden rays burst out from his body, and his murderous intent rose.

Zhao Shao hurriedly said: "This is actually not a good thing, I have less interference from Ye Xuan in the process of treating him, and it is safer." ”

Narcissus's eyes were cold, his face was full of anger, and he said, "So I'll leave it to you." ”

In the secret room of the small courtyard, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in the air, constantly refining the Heavenly Black Mountain.

What Ye Xuan wanted to do was to use Heizi Mountain to maximize the power of his divine fire, after all, this thing was conceived in countless years of Tianyao, and it had a strong amplification effect on flames.

"It seems that this Black Mountain has been refined by the Demon Sand for too long, and after absorbing his Black Flame, he also has a strong affinity for this treasure, which saves me a lot of effort. ”

Ye Xuan muttered to himself for a while, and as soon as the seal in his hand changed, a golden symbol flew out, directly enlarged in the air, and entered the flames in the sky.

The pale red flames became violent in the sky, shrinking into the sunspot mountain, and finally all merged into it, and the color of the entire mountain turned from black to a flaming pale red.

Ye Xuan's eyes showed a look of surprise, the texture of the Tianyao sunspot was extremely hard, except for the powerful wind power, there was nothing to hurt, let alone change color.

"Well, it must be that the power of this flame is too strong, and even the sunspot can't bear it. ”

Ye Xuan pondered for a while, and then a gust of wind swirled in his hand, whistling towards the sunspot mountain.

The unbreakable Black Mountain began to gradually disintegrate under the whirlwind of the wind, turning into particles that collapsed from the mountain, and those particles emitted a fiery red shimmer, each containing extremely strong flames, like thousands of fireflies flying all over the sky.

Ye Xuan's face showed a look of great joy, and his hands quickly pinched the trick in front of him, and one by one the trick marks entered it, slowly suppressing the violent aura inside.

I don't know how long it took for the particle storm to gradually subside and condense in the middle.

"Crackling!"

The sky was filled with the sound of subtle particles, which gathered more and more, and a pitch-black ball continued to condense in the air, and finally turned into a small crocodile three feet long, lying quietly on the ground.

Ye Xuan looked carefully, this crocodile maintained the color of the heavenly sunspot, and the whole body was pitch black, but under the perception of the divine sense, the power of the flames contained in it was extremely powerful, and even the divine sense of exploration was directly incinerated clean.

"Hey, don't stay still, come over to me!"

Ye Xuan snorted, and a cold color burst out in his eyes.

The crocodile opened its eyes, lazily moved its lower limbs, and began to crawl towards him.

Every step he took brought great coercion to Ye Xuan, like a mountain pressing on his heart.

The demon dragon in the soul suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly: "This thing seems to be a little dishonest!"

Ye Xuan sneered: "Stupid thing, if you get a little strength, you think you can get out of my hands." His gaze froze, and he stared back at the unruly crocodile.

The black crocodile lay three feet in front of him and stopped, closed its eyes, and remained motionless.

Ye Xuan stretched out his right hand, and the ancient monument of Emperor Wu slowly rose from the palm of his hand, held it in his hand, and said to the crocodile: "Come in." ”

The crocodile remained motionless.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became cold, Ye Xuan's eyes were like water, and he looked at the crocodile quietly, as if waiting for its reaction.

This thing was originally an elemental spirit, and it survived for an unknown number of thousands of years as part of the Great Sealing Array in the extraterrestrial starry sky.

In the battle of Smoke and Rain City, half of the intact Taigu Gang Weathering Spirit was cut off by Ding Shan, and the other half of the remaining strength was taken by the Demon Lord Di Jun. As soon as Di Jun died, he followed Ye Xuan in a daze in the dragon pool where the bones were buried.

During this period, he was refined by Ye Xuan many times, and almost completely fused the Phoenix Divine Fire, producing a new form, which became Ye Xuan's big killer - Hot Wheels, and the power was not even under the complete transformation of the spirit.

But as its strength continues to improve, its spiritual intelligence is also slowly opening, and Ye Xuan's indiscriminate command will also begin to produce some self-resistance consciousness, and now it has been integrated into the body composed of Tianyao sunspots, and has gained more powerful power, and that kind of resistance has become more and more obvious.

The crocodile suddenly opened its eyes, burst out with a fierce light, staring at the ancient monument of Emperor Wu, his eyes were full of resistance and a trace of fear. Although it is not highly intelligent, it also understands that once it enters the ancient monument of Emperor Wu, life and death will be completely out of its own hands.

Ye Xuan's cold eyes narrowed, revealing a sunny smile, and said softly, "Obedient, come here." ”

The crocodile's body trembled, and its short limbs suddenly propped up its body, took a step back, and stared at Ye Xuan vigilantly.

The pitch-black body began to change, and clusters of flames burned out of the body, and suddenly the whole body turned pale red, and under the limbs was a small group of Taigu Gang Feng that swirled out, as if stepping into the wind and clouds.

Ye Xuan's face finally turned cold, and he said coldly: "Come in!"

"Roar!"

The crocodile roared, the fierceness in his eyes skyrocketed, and his whole body rose into the air, and he swooped down in an instant!

Ye Xuan's face changed, and he said secretly: It's so fast!

His body suddenly turned into a piece of gold, and he directly blasted over with a move of the King Kong Fist.

"Boom!"

The fist hit the crocodile's body, and the sharp pain came from the arm, and the fist power of the immortal golden body was directly cracked by the bone!

Seeing that the crocodile had succeeded, it was even more ferocious, and it roared and opened its mouth to bite down, wanting to swallow Ye Xuan's entire upper body.

"Bite your sister!"

Ye Xuan roared angrily, picked up the hammer in his left hand and blasted it down, and a bolt of lightning directly hit his mouth and blasted into his body.

"Howl!"

There was an explosion inside the crocodile, and it was in pain, and it suddenly closed its mouth.

Ye Xuan's eyes were cold, and he teleported away directly in front of it, and the next moment he appeared at the top of the secret room, and with a wave of his hand, more than ten Northern Heaven Cold Star Swords shot down one after another.

"Zheng!Zheng!Zheng!"

The blade of the sword was stuck at the crocodile's side, falling against its body like a prison trapping it.

Ye Xuan pinched his hands together, one after another marks were punched out, a sea of sword qi appeared on the sword diagram, and a sword talisman condensed, pressing on the crocodile's body.

The crocodile raised its head and screamed, its pitch-black body began to turn red, and the terrifying power of fire erupted to blast the sword diagram away!

"Humph, stupid!"

Ye Xuan snorted coldly, the seal in his hand changed, and a pattern of a true spirit fire phoenix appeared at the center of his eyebrows, and an ancient sound faintly came.

The flames on the crocodile's body suddenly condensed, and it swooped down uncontrollably, directly into the black body, pressing it desperately.

"The flame was just lent to you, and you really think it's your own?"

Ye Xuan sneered, raised his hand, and the cold sword frost appeared above his palm, turning into a ray of light and shooting down.

With a loud bang, the sword slashed at the crocodile's wagging tail and sank into the earth, nailing the crocodile's entire body like a nail.

The crocodile's eyes showed a look of horror, its tail was pierced by a sharp sword, it was trapped by a sword array, and a sword talisman was pressed on its body, and the flames in its body were even more uncontrollably and wantonly.

It panicked and opened its mouth to cry out for mercy.

Ye Xuan sneered: "What's the matter, take it?"

The crocodile nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of pleading.

A trace of essence flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes, and without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and took back the cold sword frost and many Northern Heaven Cold Star Swords.

The crocodile swung its tail a few times, and its body stopped shaking.

Suddenly, its figure flickered, and it disappeared in place, appearing on Ye Xuan's body at a speed that was difficult to catch, and roaring and biting Ye Xuan's neck.

"Death!"

Ye Xuan drank coldly, and with a finger of the sword in his hand, a cold light slashed over.

Although the material of the Celestial Sunspot was strong, the sharpness of the cold sword frost was almost unbreakable, and it slashed into it in one fell swoop, making a piercing cracking sound, directly splitting the entire crocodile in half!

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The crocodile roared a few times, and the power of the primeval wind swirled out, directly disintegrating the body, turning into countless fine scattered sunspot particles, each of which contained extremely high energy, "crackling" towards Ye Xuan's body.

Ye Xuan's face showed a hint of coldness, his eyes suddenly turned bloody, and the power of the moon pupil opened.

A burst of spiritual power blasted out, the entire space swirled, the heavens and the earth changed instantly, and the countless particles were all blasted into the air, and Ye Xuan couldn't be found, and he lost his goal!

The countless particles instantly panicked, flying everywhere in the pitch-black endless space, like a mass of wasps, aimless.

"Stupid thing, after following me for so long, you still don't understand how strong I am?"

Ye Xuan's voice came slowly, and a blood moon appeared in the sky, opening like an eye, staring at the particle full of riotous power.

As soon as the blood moon appeared, those particles flew over one after another, wanting to bombard him.

Each particle not only carries an extremely strong power of flames, but also the power of the wind, condensing into a storm of particles, which is extremely fast, almost no less than thunder.

But no matter how much they brave the wind, the distance from the Blood Moon remains the same and can never be reached.

A sneer flashed in the eyes of the moon, and Ye Xuan's voice came faintly, saying, "The rage and restlessness in your personality can break out now, I can completely suppress you to prevent future troubles." ”

In the blood moon, the pupils froze, and thousands of rays of light converged around it, and a strange golden mark emerged, and it directly fell in the air.

"Boom!"

With a bang, the mark swept through the storm of particles, each particle trembling violently under the power of the mark, and finally condensed back into the form of a crocodile.

All the furious power and golden sigils suddenly disappeared, and the crocodile's face also took on a dull color, as if it had lost its spirituality all of a sudden, and finally slowly closed its eyes and fell uncontrollably from the endless void.

The moon pupils slowly closed, the heavens and the earth changed, and they returned to the secret room again.

"Bang!"

The body of the black crocodile fell directly to the ground, smashing a large hole.

At this moment, in its mind, a golden symbol kept flashing, imprinted in it like a formation.

This is a kind of enslavement mark of the soul, which directly blasts into the Lingtai Zhihai, and once the heart of rebellion is born, it will be suppressed immediately.

The demon dragon's eyes showed a look of pity, and he said, "Finally, I still forced you to cast the brand of slavery!"

Ye Xuan said indifferently: "This kind of branding, as long as it does not give birth to the intention of betrayal, it will have no effect. Besides, as long as my strength returns to the peak of my previous life, I will lift him, and then I don't need to worry about its betrayal. ”

The demon dragon nodded and said, "I believe that when you recover to the peak of the Nine Stars Martial Emperor, even Ao Changkong will no longer be your opponent, and you won't have to wait too long for this day." ”

"I hope so. ”

Ye Xuan said casually, his eyebrows flashed, and he directly put the crocodile into the ancient monument of Emperor Wu.

At this moment, the entire secret room is already potholed, and it has not collapsed, which is extremely solid.

The demon dragon said in a deep voice, "You really plan to extract the blood of the Sea Emperor from that Nizi?"

Ye Xuan's eyes froze, his face changed slightly, and he said slowly, "What do you say?"

The demon dragon was silent for a moment, and said: "The blood of the Sea Emperor is good, but you have forgotten what happened back then? At that time, your strength was a hundred times stronger than it is now, and you almost died in the East China Sea, I am afraid that once you move that Nizi, you will never be able to return to the mainland." ”

Ye Xuan pondered with his hands in his hands, pacing back and forth in the secret room, his face constantly flashing with a look of struggle.

The demon dragon said again: "Back then, you had a reason to take the blood of the Sea Emperor, but now there is no such reason, I suggest you don't act rashly." ”

Ye Xuan's pupils shrank, as if he had evoked some past events, and the doubts in his eyes were suddenly swept away, and he said resolutely: "I also have a reason to seize the blood of the Sea Emperor now!"

The demon dragon was stunned for a moment, and said: "Back then, you were there to save people, but now, if you just want to increase your strength, there is no need at all, with your current state and cultivation speed, you can return to the peak in ten years at most." ”

A cold glint flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes, and he said word for word: "My reason now is to kill someone!"

"Murder?"

The demon dragon's eyes were full of doubts, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, his body shook violently, and he lost his voice: "Are you here for ......?"

"Not bad!"

Ye Xuan's face became more and more murderous, and he said coldly: "The Sea Emperor's bloodline inheritance has the power to see through all things-the True Eye, which can see through all illusions!

The demon dragon fell silent.

In the whole world, if the power of spiritual attacks and illusions can make the man in front of him jealous and fearful, then only Tiansi who came out of the earth and heaven is the heavenly thought.

And Tian Si killed his two friends in a row, it was already a mortal enemy, and sooner or later there would be a life-and-death duel between the two, and only one of them could survive.
