Prologue: The storm is coming

July has arrived, and people are walking on the blazing streets. Ice cream, frozen milk tea, and iced drinks are gradually filling people's summer, in a vain attempt to eliminate the sweat on people's bodies. The clothes stick to the body, and the stickiness is maddening. In the shadows under the trees on the road lay a few yellow dogs, sticking out their tongues and spitting out the hot air.

Women's clothes are getting less and less, from jeans to cropped pants, from long skirts to miniskirts, although it is summer, it is full of spring.

At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, there were very few pedestrians on the street, and they all hid in the air-conditioned house early, enjoying the refreshing feeling brought by the slightest coolness. On a street in the city, two people were on their way at this time.

"Dad, I'm almost out of the middle, it's too heavy, it's too hot." said that it was a child, about ** years old, holding a big box in his hand, soaking wet, his face was red, and his arms were trembling, obviously the weight of the box was too much for him to bear.

"Son, only in this way can this sword be struck and it will be in touch with you. From meteoric iron to sword, only if you have touched it, the sword is not mixed with the breath of others. It will be closest to you, the most compatible with you, and it will be able to bloom its true brilliance in your hands. "Walking in front of the child is a capable middle-aged man, who is about 1.8 meters tall, with a well-proportioned and sturdy figure, as if hiding great strength. The funny thing is that the middle-aged man is holding a box that is much smaller than the box in the child's hand.

"You are talking nonsense, it's just a sword, how can it be so mysterious? It's like a person. The child seemed dissatisfied with his father's words, pouted and did not leave, put the box on the ground and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand. Besides, the sword used by Uncle Liu was made by you, and I don't think it doesn't look like it doesn't fit. ”

The father listened to his son's words, touched his head, and said solemnly, "Your Uncle Liu, he is different from you, you are my son of Zhou Shan, you will definitely go the same way with me in the future, I must you lay a good foundation for the future at the beginning, and you will definitely face more terrible than the ones we face." ”

Son Zhou Ye listened to his father's words, and said helplessly, "Every time you say what I will face, but you don't tell me what it is every time." I just felt too hot and wanted to rest. Dad, don't you feel hot? ”

Zhou Shan was dressed in a black suit, and it was said that he absorbed a lot of heat when he stayed in the sun, but the strange thing was that Zhou Shan didn't sweat at all, on the other hand, Zhou Ye, who was wearing white short sleeves, was indeed sweating like rain. Zhou Shan looked at his embarrassed son and smiled, "I really should take you there at night, I didn't expect to find materials of such quality, so I ran over directly with you." ”

Just as the father and son were talking, Zhou Ye caught a glimpse of the asphalt road around him slowly beginning to melt into a viscous liquid, and he pointed it out to Zhou Shan in surprise. Zhou Shan saw the slightly deformed road surface, his face turned pale instantly, and he said to himself, "I didn't expect it to come so quickly." Son, now you take the box and go home quickly. ”

Zhou Ye listened to Zhou Shan's words, and said in a panic, "What's the matter, Dad, what are you going to do?" What the hell is going on on this pavement? ”

"Haven't you always wondered what the crisis you will face in the future? Go home first, and I'll tell you everything in the evening. Remember, go straight home and tell your mom about the situation. Hurry up and don't look back. Zhou Shan said with a serious face.

"Then be careful, Dad." Zhou Ye had never seen such a serious father, and he ran quickly towards home with a suitcase.

When Zhou Ye ran away, as soon as Zhou Shan raised his hand, the box in his hand disappeared, and was replaced by a long sword. It was a sword of a very strange style, with a blade curved like a wave, and many strange totems engraved on the hollowed-out hilt. When this sword appeared in Zhou Shan's hand, Zhou Shan's face returned to normal. He looked down at the sword in his hand and said with a smile, "I didn't expect us to be able to fight, I thought there was no place for us in the post-mythological era." He smiled at the twisting pavement.

The pavement kept shaking, as if it was being pulled by a huge force. Blue light spread out from the center of the sunken pavement, and a crack tore open the space, and from the gap appeared many figures, more than twenty people. They had the same blood-colored skin, and were dressed in uniform attire, with tight black armor wrapping around their emaciated bodies. Their faces are covered with red masks, and their hideous evil faces are creepy like the evil spirits of purgatory. Each ghost man had two black semi-rings stuck on its back, and the intersection was glowing with blood. It's terrifying.

"What sub-plane are you from?" Zhou Shan asked coldly with his sword in his hand. A man who seemed to be a small boss said hoarsely, "I didn't expect that someone would be discovered before the operation started." After the twelfth, they scattered to complete the reconnaissance mission, and the others stayed with me to deal with this guy. ”

"It seems that this is really not our time, and a dozen people want to hack me to death? It seems that the pressure on Zhou Ye's shoulders is really great, in fact, I'm glad that we have withdrawn. Zhou Shan said to the sword in his hand. The tone was very helpless, revealing a thick unwillingness.

The ghost man on the opposite side didn't listen to Zhou Shan's intention to continue at all, and turned into two, one spread out, and the other pulled out a semi-ring that was inserted in the back, and rushed to Zhou Shan with a roar, they lined up in a longitudinally staggered fan-shaped team, stabbing at Zhou Shan like a sharp blade, rushing to the side of the small leader in front of him and raising the semi-ring ring in his hand, slashing towards Zhou Shan, the ring was smooth, flashing with fierce light. The ghost man behind him straightened his arm and threw the semi-ring violently, and the flying half-circle flew towards Zhou Shan with an encirclement momentum.

"Since you're here, don't leave, let's play together." Zhou Shan raised his sword above his head, and a dark green light poured out from his body, this light flashed around Zhou Shan, and suddenly dispersed, encircling the twenty enemy, as if he was in a quagmire, and the speed of all the ghosts slowed down.

Zhou Shan slammed on the ground, his speed soared, and he swung his sword through the staggered semi-circles in front of him, leaving a sword blow on the chest of each ghost in an instant. When Zhou Shan stopped at the end of the ghost crowd and looked back, he found that the result was not as he thought, and the armor of each ghost was cut in half diagonally, but there was only a white mark left on their blood-colored chest, and there was no injury, which showed that their skin was as hard as steel, and they were not afraid of the slash of the sword.

Zhou Shan was stunned, he looked at the ghost man in front of him in disbelief, and the ghost people seemed to be very surprised, and the little leader said hoarsely, "Being able to cut through the dragon bone armor, this man's strength is very good." The reconnaissance mission is temporarily canceled, and all the pedestrian teams are linked to the killing array. ”

Hearing the little leader's command, all the ghosts twisted their bodies, like fish in the water swinging their bodies, changing their positions in the dark green light. It is roughly divided into two groups, one wave the ring to kill Zhou Shan from different directions, and the other throws a semi-circular ring behind it, which is inserted at the intersection of the rings of the first wave of ghosts, and the other semi-circular ring throws towards Zhou Shan.

Zhou Shan slashed with his sword, the dark green light on his body was even stronger, and he kept changing his position in an instant, constantly taking out his sword to pick up the ghosts around him. The black light on the ghost man who could be picked up flashed, and he actually switched places with the ghost man in the distance behind him. The semi-ring inserted behind his teammates seemed to have the effect of spatial teleportation, and in this way, the ghost people on the periphery rushed into the encirclement of Zhou Shan, looking for an opportunity to cut the semi-ring in Zhou Shan's hand. The ghost man who was replaced from the melee battlefield threw a semi-ring towards Zhou Shan.

At the same time, Zhou Shan had to face the flying semi-ring, and he also had to watch out for the ghost people waiting for the opportunity to move beside him, and for a while, he was powerless, and several huge cuts were cut out on his body, and the ground under his feet was dyed red.

The battle continued like this, and Zhou Shan relied on his speed and the demonic long sword in his hand that seemed to be alive to support him. The longsword was sometimes able to shake and bend, blocking the half-ring at an unbelievable angle.

Gradually, many ghost people lay on the ground, and the remaining ghost people were also injured, but Zhou Shan's injuries were getting worse and worse, he was covered in wounds, and there were two semi-rings on his back that did not dodge. Because of the excessive blood loss, his consciousness has become a little sluggish, and the slash has become more and more weak.

Suddenly, the little leader of the ghost man appeared behind Zhou Shan and slashed off the semi-ring, Zhou Shan's body trembled, and his left arm was cut off and fell to the ground. Suffering such a serious injury again, Zhou Shan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and knelt on one knee, he supported his body with his sword, and his eyes showed a weak light.

The little leader of the ghost man walked up to Zhou Shan and said hoarsely: "You can kill so many of my team members, you are a powerful warrior, but this is the end of it." He waved the half-ring, ready to finish off Zhou Shan. But just as the ring was about to fall, a sharp blade stabbed him in the heart from behind. The little leader of the ghosts lay on the ground, and a dark shadow disappeared from behind him, finding the remaining ghosts

Figures weave through the battlefield, harvesting the ghosts who are still alive. The rest of the ghosts were also killed one by one. Eventually, all the ghosts were destroyed. The man inserted it into the sheath, walked to Zhou Shan's side, and held Zhou Shan, who was constantly shaking.

"Ah Fei, you're here." Zhou Shan said with difficulty. "I didn't expect the day to advance so much. The price is too great, and from now on you will probably have to say goodbye to the second knife flow. Alas, if it weren't for the blue water break, how would you be so embarrassed. The man called Ah Fei said bitterly.

At this moment, a woman took Zhou Ye to the battlefield just now. When the woman saw Zhou Shan's appearance, tears gushed out, and she ran to Zhou Shan quickly, Zhou Shan saw the woman, and finally couldn't support it, and lay down in the woman's arms, the woman hurriedly raised her hands to Zhou Shan, and her hands bloomed with white light, and the injuries on Zhou Shan's body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye under the light, but the woman seemed to be powerless against Zhou Shan's lost left arm, just crying helplessly.

"Mom, heal Dad." Zhou Ye said anxiously to the woman, but the woman cried and shook her head. I couldn't stop the tears.

"Uncle Liu, you have to help my father." Zhou Ye grabbed the man's arm again and said pleadingly. "Xiao Ye, uncle is incompetent and can't help your father." The man named Liu Fei also shook his head and said.

Zhou Ye saw that no one could help Zhou Shan, and roared at the sky in pain. And at this moment, the little leader of the ghost man lying not far away stood up with difficulty, covered his heart, and ran desperately towards the crack. Seeing this, Zhou Ye hurriedly picked up the demonic long sword lying on the ground, and the moment he picked up the sword, Zhou Ye felt an unprecedented power burst out from his body, burning in his body like a raging fire, he swung out the long sword violently, and the power gushed out, and a sword light flew out rapidly, cutting off the little leader of the ghost man.

Zhou Ye looked at the fallen ghost, turned his head to the unconscious Zhou Shan and said, "Dad, I finally know what I'm going to face." Don't worry, I'm going to make them pay the price they deserve, I swear. ”

At this moment, a Soviet-style transport plane fell from the sky, and many people got off the plane, some carried Zhou Shan onto the plane, and some came to the crack and began to arrange the magic circle and set up seals.

An adult came to Zhou Ye's side and said to him: "Zhou Ye, there are still many such enemies, are you willing to protect more people from being harmed, not to shed blood and be injured like your father?" ”

"I do." Zhou Ye said firmly.

"But your strength is not enough, don't talk about protecting others, you can't even protect yourself." The middle-aged man said expressionlessly.

"So what should I do?" Zhou Ye asked anxiously.

"Come and report to the Douqi Branch as soon as possible, where you will know everything you want to know, and you will learn how to protect the world. The storm is coming, and time is running out for you. ”
