Chapter 19: Bloodthirsty Nightmare

Under the twilight, Shi Xuan walked quickly through the canyon with a full harvest, he carefully avoided many spirit beasts and some mercenaries who came here to try their luck, in the past two years, he also understood a truth, wealth is not exposed, many times the danger often comes from greedy people, their blades will be more ferocious than spirit beasts.

Shi Xuan came to a section called Sorrowful Wind Canyon, which is not far from the exit of the Tianyan Rift, the terrain is narrow, some passes belong to the places that must be passed, some bandits and robbers will often block the road again to rob the adventurers in the past, and many people with poor strength cannot escape the poison, but Shi Xuan does not understand.

Looking at the sun that was about to set down the mountain, Shi Xuan quickened his pace forward, he didn't want to stay in the mountain for another night, after the Sorrowful Wind Canyon, he would be able to get out of the Tianyan Rift Valley and return to Black Rock City.

A narrow passage was in front of him, this was the only way to enter and exit the Tianyan Rift, Shi Xuan felt the strong hurricane of the Sorrowful Wind Canyon, blowing so that people's eyes couldn't open, just as he was about to pass, five people suddenly appeared and blocked the way.

"Stop, rob".

"Boss, did you see it, a little hairy boy also came to the Tianyan Rift to adventure, and he laughed at me," a rough man laughed.

"Uh, don't you say, what do you see in his full bag?" the other saw the full bag behind Shi Xuan.

"Go open the bag and see what's in it?" said the lead thief to the people beside him.

"Yes, boss", the man walked straight to Shi Xuan's side, stretched out his hand and prepared to snatch Shi Xuan's bag.

Shi Xuan looked at these thieves who completely regarded him as fish and meat on the fish, Shi Xuan's angry eyes suddenly erupted with a terrifying momentum, his fists were murderous, and he turned around and punched the thieves who were trying to rob him away, and fell ten battles away, without even making a scream.

The faces of the other thieves changed greatly, "Damn, it turned out that I was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and I actually had two hits", the thief led by him scolded.

"Get out of here", Shi Xuan roared angrily, he hated these thieves very much.

"It's not a big man, but he's not a little brave, I'll break his limbs first, and I'm going to make him worse than dead," said the leader of the thieves to the people around him.

"Understood", the other three people around the thief leaked a fierce look, and they killed Shi Xuan angrily, Shi Xuan angrily slammed the bag on the ground, and the fire on his fists flashed, murderous.

Shi Xuan started a big battle against the three of them, these thieves were insidious, vicious, and deadly, Shi Xuan broke out without sparing, he brought his fist skills to the extreme, and the fierce collision was full of fire, and the three of them cooperated tightly, and the battle was scorching for a while.

After a round of fighting, Shi Xuan can be regarded as figuring out the strength of the three of them, none of the three of them reached the fifth order of the Xuanmai Realm, Shi Xuan let go of the defense and launched a counterattack, the swords of the three of them slashed at Shi Xuan, but nothing was left except a string of sparks, Shi Xuan's demon lizard armor was comparable to spirit armor, and the three thieves were directly bleeding from their mouths, and they almost couldn't even hold their weapons steadily.

Shi Xuan's heavy fists struck again and again, and the three thieves even parried one of the knives were broken by Shi Xuan's punch and fell directly to the ground, and the other two were quickly defeated, Shi Xuan's heavy punch directly broke one person's shoulder, blood sprayed to the ground, and the other person ran towards the bandit boss and asked for help.

The bandit leader was shocked at the moment, this time he actually encountered a ruthless stubble, he saw that the last person was about to die at Shi Xuan's hands, he took out a sleeve arrow and shot more than a dozen arrows at Shi Xuan in a row in an attempt to shoot Shi Xuan to death.

Shi Xuan sensed the other party's intentions, activated the aura to form a flame shield, forcibly resisted his hidden arrows, and continued to chase and kill the last person who escaped, more than a dozen hidden arrows collided with Shi Xuan's body and sent out a string of sparks, without any injury, Shi Xuan's extremely fast speed instantly caught up with the person who escaped, and killed him on the spot with only one punch.

The bandit leader was shocked, the strength of this young person on the other side was terrifying, but what he did was the business of licking blood from the knife edge, and his strength had already reached the strength of the seventh order of the Xuanmai Realm for many years, and he had been in the grass in Black Rock City for many years, and he often haunted the adventurers who robbed and fell alone in this area, and I don't know how many people died in his hands.

"Kid is really surprising, but you have completely angered me, suffer death", the thief took out a spear and killed Shi Xuan.

Although this person is vicious, but his strength is really strong, Shi Xuan and him started a big battle, it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while, both of them were good at melee fighting, his marksmanship was a bit of a doorway, Shi Xuan's boxing skills fell into disadvantage for a while.

Shi Xuan was thrown away by him with a single shot, "Does the kid recognize the gap? In the next life, he will have more eyesight and see clearly who should not be provoked", the thief was ready to take the opportunity to understand Shi Xuan.

"Is this what you rely on?" Shi Xuan stood up and drew his glittering broadsword.

"The kid has gone to shit luck, and he can even get this kind of superb weapon, but it's just a wedding reward for others", the bandit leader saw at a glance that Shi Xuan's knife was extraordinary.

"If you want it, then come and get it", Shi Xuan mocked.

"Die, the Demon Dragon Divine Spear will kill me", the thief was as fast as the wind, and a strong wind rolled up, the speed was extremely fast, and he wanted to kill Shi Xuange by thunder.

The other party showed a very murderous marksmanship, which was very powerful, Shi Xuan took it seriously, and threw several huge flame thorns in a row in the place where he must pass, successfully slowing down the opponent's body.

Shi Xuan used the Seven Slashes to break the sky and start a big battle with the thieves, one had unparalleled marksmanship, the other was sharp, the two of them did not flinch from Mai Mang, and fought with each other for dozens of moves, and the wind and fire on the field destroyed the surrounding trees, soil and rocks in a bad way.

"Good knife technique, but it's a pity that you still have to die", the thief said ruthlessly, the two fought for a long time and did not distinguish the winner, Shi Xuan was careful to be careful.

The other party suddenly threw several black runes at him, these runes shone with a strange brilliance, Shi Xuan felt extremely dangerous, and his body exploded, but these runes locked on him like sticky candy.

"If you want to escape, you can escape, hahahahaha", the bandit laughed.

Shi Xuan couldn't get rid of these talismans, so he could only defend them comprehensively, and between the lightning and thunder, the rune seals erupted in a huge explosion around him, and the huge flames buried the ten battles around him.

Shi Xuan suffered a heavy blow, his whole body was numb, this kind of power he couldn't stop him, this kind of talisman is a kind of disposable weapon specially made by some spirit array masters to use against the enemy, it is expensive to make and powerful, but it can only be used once.

The smoke cleared, and a broken body appeared there, at this moment, Shi Xuan's demon lizard leather armor was completely destroyed, and even the Divine Dragon Emperor was fully urged, but there were several wounds on his body, blood overflowed, and many places on his body were hit hard, and a large mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth.

The bandit leader on the other side was even more shocked, his talisman seal was purchased by him at a great price, and even his stronger opponents were blown to pieces in the past, but this guy was actually only injured.

"It's really a terrible defense, but you still have to die", the bandit wanted to strangle Shi Xuan by himself this time.

At this moment, Shi Xuan's eyes became red, a bloodthirsty desire exploded in an all-round way, and his consciousness became blurred at this moment, and he only had killing intent in front of him.

The thief looked at the opponent who had suddenly changed drastically, a little hairy, and had a sense of retreat, but Shi Xuan killed him like a demon king, and the Seven Slashes broke out again, but this time the power increased several times, and the power was amazing, and the thief's marksmanship was instantly defeated, and even the magic spear was cut off, and the thief fled in horror, trying to escape. Driven by his killing intent, Shi Xuan frantically pursued and killed him, and the thief finally died tragically under the knife.

At this time, Shi Xuan's body was very bad, he controlled this bloodthirsty evil qi in his body, he only wanted to kill, after killing the bandits, he killed into the Tianyan Rift Valley like a demon king, under the twilight, many mercenaries in the Sorrowful Wind Canyon were ready to return to Black Rock City, but they met Shi Xuan, who fell into bloodthirsty, and this became a blood-colored Shura field, and the blood stained a large area of the valley red.

Shi Xuan didn't know how long he had been killed, the intense bloodthirsty desire dominated him to carry out endless killing, no matter whether it was good or bad, only endless killing intent, knowing that at the last moment, his physical strength was finally exhausted and fell in a pool of blood.

That night, he had terrible dreams again, dreaming again of the nightmare of his childhood, he saw the sea of corpses and blood, saw the world collapse, saw countless relatives being slaughtered, saw his favorite sister die tragically, and saw his parents lying in a pool of blood......

This is the first time he has been completely occupied by the nightmare in his heart, and it is also the first time he has accidentally injured an innocent......

The early morning sun shone into the deep canyon again, Shi Xuan had a splitting headache in the pool of blood, he woke up with difficulty, when he opened his eyes, he was frightened by the messy scene here, there were more than twenty corpses, blood flowed all over the ground, and his own body was covered with blood, like a devil.

"No, no, no, what did I do, why is this happening, this is not what I want?" Shi Xuan recalled what had happened last night, and he roared angrily at this moment.

At this moment, Shi Xuan was extremely scared, he never thought that he would become so bloodthirsty and terrifying, he would become what he hated, he sat on the ground and cried.

He couldn't understand why such a terrible killing intent was born in his body, in the past few years, as long as his mental power was exhausted, he would have a bloodthirsty impulse, before he carefully suppressed it every time, but he didn't expect this serious injury to make his nightmare completely explode, he was no different from the devil in the nightmare.

At this time, a strange voice suddenly appeared in Shi Xuan's mind: "Give up resistance, I will realize your dream, I will give you everything you want, surrender, I will lead you to conquer the whole world, let your anger burn this pathetic world, we will merge into one, you are me, I am you."

"Who are you, and why did you appear in my body?" Shi Xuan was horrified.

"I am your nightmare, it is the fear of your heart, follow your heart's desire, we will merge into one and burn everything in the world", the endless magic sound recalled in Shi Xuan's mind.

"No, I will never give in, I will definitely defeat you, I will not be dominated by you again", Shi Xuan painfully used all his aura to suppress the nightmare power in his body, as his spiritual power recovered, his eyes gradually became clear, at this moment his body can be said to be terrible, he can't continue on the road at the moment, he found his bag, and dragged all these people who were injured by his mistake to a hidden place, he found a water source to wash the filth on his body, and found a hidden cave to start healing.

After taking some pills, he used all his strength to heal his wounds......

A few days later, his injuries improved and he was able to walk, Shi Xuan was ready to go back, and if he left the academy for too long, he would probably worry about him.

Although he is now recovering from his injuries, his body has left huge sequelae, and his aura is running slowly, which is not suitable for continuing to fight, so he can only rush back to Black Rock City overnight in the night, not wanting to be discovered by others.

The next day, Shi Xuan got up early and walked on the street, and he bought a new set of clean clothes to change into.

He heard a lot of people talking about this, "Have you heard? A few days ago, a terrible bloodthirsty demon appeared in the Tianyan Rift, he carried a big knife and killed people when he saw them, and dozens of people were slaughtered that night, and the Sorrowful Wind Canyon directly turned into a hell on earth, and the blood flowed like a river", a stall owner said to an adventurer who tried to enter the Tianyan Rift.

"Master, don't scare me, I'm about to venture there?" the man said in astonishment.

"Whoever lied to you is a grandson, you go and inquire, it has already spread all over Black Rock City, and someone escaped alive that night, he was almost scared into a fool," said the stall owner.

Shi Xuan quickly walked away after hearing this, his heart was like being cut by a thousand knives, he became his disgust, he didn't dare to stay in Black Rock City, he came directly to the dock, got on the boat back to Jiahe City, and stayed away from this place.

Along the way, Shi Xuan was full of thoughts, sometimes in a daze, he felt a huge confusion about his future path, he was afraid that his nightmare would come again, he was afraid of hurting the innocent, he was afraid of hurting relatives and friends. He had tried to awaken the spirit rune and ask the seniors in the light curtain in the cavern to give him guidance, but to no avail.

Shi Xuan had no intention of observing the scenery along the way, and did it sullenly until he returned to Jiahe City, he returned to Tianhaiyuan like a walking corpse without any life, and some familiar people greeted him on the road, but he did not react, many people felt inexplicable, Shi Xuan was not such a person before.

Just when he was about to return to his residence, a playful and cute figure appeared behind him, Yuan Caiwei happily patted him lightly behind him, ready to surprise him, at this moment Shi Xuan's mind didn't know where to drift, he was disturbed, he turned around and grabbed Yuan Caiwei's neck at once, his eyes were blurred, and it was very scary.

"Ah, let go of me, I'm your senior sister", Yuan Caiwei was pinched by him at the moment and was in pain.

Shi Xuan came back to his senses at this time, he was sweating profusely all of a sudden, his breathing was extremely disordered, he carefully let go of his hand, and looked at Yuan Caiwei who was frightened by him, he was at a loss.

"I'm sorry, I just..."

"What's wrong with you, is there something wrong with your body?" Yuan Caiwei was very worried about him and carefully examined his body.

At this moment, Shi Xuan was covered in sweat, his body trembled a little, he was afraid of being discovered by Yuan Caiwei.

"No, it's nothing, I suffered some minor injuries in this trial, my mind was too depleted, and I lost my mind a little, I'm sorry I scared you just now", Shi Xuan's eyes were a little evasive.

"Are you hiding something from me and not even telling me?" Yuan Caiwei's eyes were a little moist.

"It's really not a big deal, just rest for a few days, I promise to help you forge a pair of second-order spirit armor, and I'll help you forge it in a few days", Shi Xuan opened the topic.

Yuan Caiwei was a smart girl, and she also knew that Shi Xuan didn't want to tell what had happened, so she didn't continue to ask.

"Then you have to rest well these days, and I'll come to see you tomorrow", Yuan Caiwei left after speaking.

Looking at Yuan Caiwei who was walking away, Shi Xuan slapped himself hard, he accidentally injured Yuan Caiwei again and made him feel painful, and then, he forcibly pretended to be calm and returned to his residence, and took the initiative to greet Liu Ming and others, he didn't want to be suspected by others anymore.

Yuan Caiwei, who returned to her residence, she carefully recalled Shi Xuan's situation, she concluded that something major had happened to him, otherwise it would never have been like this, she could have known Shi Xuan very well in the past two years. But she also understood that as long as Shi Xuan didn't want to say it, she had no choice but to find a way to understand it in a few days.

Shi Xuan has been seriously pranayama in the past few days, resolving the dark wounds brought by this time, with the improvement of his spirit, his condition can be regarded as stabilizing, Yuan Caiwei also cleverly wanted to get something from his mouth many times during this period, but Shi Xuan always bypassed it sensitively, and later saw that his state improved, Yuan Caiwei gave up and continued to explore.

During this period, Shi Xuan successfully used the crystallization of the Spirit of Fury Flame to successfully break through to the seventh order of the Xuanmai Realm, and the crystallized aura of the Spirit of Fury was abundant, which made Shi Xuan successfully break through the two orders at one time, this trial has greatly improved his strength, and his first trial can be regarded as a successful completion.

This time, he brought back a lot of spiritual materials from the Tianyan Rift, these spiritual materials were enough to support him to forge many spiritual weapons, he re-forged a second-order spirit armor for himself, and his defense was even more amazing, his original first-order refined bronze fist gloves were also honorably retired, Shi Xuan re-forged a pair of equivalent and powerful silver fist gloves, a third-order spirit core inlaid with a fire-eyed golden toad, and the other inlaid with a spirit core of a flame python that was close to the fourth order.

This fist glove is combined with his broadsword, and his Sky Breaking Seven will gain a huge power bonus, and his power will definitely increase a lot again.

He broke through two orders in a row and successfully broke through two major points in his legs, and his leg explosion also improved a lot, and his speed was also strengthened.

Shi Xuan urgently needs to improve his strength, these days he has been frantically challenging the list of Xuanmai Realm, many Xuanmai Realm masters have felt tremendous pressure, and now Shi Xuan has threatened the top ten Xuanmai Realm masters. Even many of the Academy's tutors lamented that the speed at which he had risen was too astonishing.

Shi Xuan recently had a strong feeling that as his strength became stronger, the nightmare in his body became stronger and stronger, and this potential threat was tormenting him all the time, as if he was holding a huge ** every day, maybe it would explode in full force one day, which made him worry in his heart.

Although Yuan Caiwei was by his side, she watched him improve his strength and was happy for him, but it also made her feel worried vaguely, she always felt that Shi Xuan had something to hide, and kept a certain distance from her, a woman's feelings have always been sensitive, she tried more than once, but Shi Xuan avoided it.

She could only hope that it was just her crankiness.

Finally one night, the nightmare in Shi Xuan's body came again, fortunately he suppressed it in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. He made up his mind that he would go to the caves in the mountains again to find the predecessors in the light curtain, hoping that the powerhouse of the ancient times could guide him through the maze.

"What, you're going back to the cave to find that senior?" Yuan Caiwei was surprised when she heard that Shi Xuan was going to find that senior.

"That senior sent me a trial mission, I completed it, and I want to go to him to take the next task," Shi Xuan said.

"Does he give you a spirit rune from time to time? He can issue you a task through the spirit rune," Yuan Caiwei was puzzled.

"The point is that I have something I want to ask him personally, so I have to go to him".

"Then, I'll go with you", Yuan Caiwei insisted.

"I'm not going to take an adventure, the seal there hasn't been broken, there's nothing wrong, besides, he only let me participate in the trial alone, it's not good for you to go", Shi Xuan insisted on going alone.

"Okay, I'm just worried about you, you've not been doing well lately", Yuan Caiwei looked at him.

"I'll pay attention, you have to be careful to protect yourself, Jiahe City has not been peaceful recently, and bandits are often infested."

Shi Xuan said goodbye to Yuan Caiwei and went straight to the hidden cave on the mountain alone.

Along the way, Shi Xuan walked quickly, and he didn't have the heart to look for spiritual materials, he went directly to the cave that day.

The entrance to the cave left by the earthquake that day was not closed, Shi Xuan brought a long rope and began to slide down towards the cave, a bright fire light in his hand illuminated the cave, the deep cave was bottomless, Shi Xuan even if he had reached the seventh order of the Xuanmai Realm now, he also felt infiltrated. The long rope didn't reach the bottom, and Shi Xuan had to rely on his flame shackles to grab onto the protrusions on the wall and slide down.

After some complicated operations, Shi Xuan successfully landed at the bottom of the cave, he found the right direction, walked straight in, and looked at the terrifying creatures on the mural, which reminded him of the terrifying creatures of the Tianyan Rift.

It took him a long time to walk through the boneless passages to the vast square, which was surrounded by lava and high temperatures.

Walking past the countless columns that were lined up, Shi Xuan came to the huge sealing spell seal and looked at the statue of the Terran predecessor on the gate.

"Senior, I'm back again, this time I want to ask you another question", Shi Xuan bowed respectfully to the statue.

After a while, the huge Terran statue lit up, and a majestic Terran powerhouse appeared.

"I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, kid, you've done a good job", the man looked at him, as if he had insight into everything about him.

"But I have also made a terrible mistake, my bloodthirsty desire has overwhelmed my mind, my bloodthirsty desire has killed a lot of innocent people, I don't know what to do at all, I can only return here to find your help", Shi Xuan's eyes moistened.

"I already knew the situation that day through the spirit runes, and when you were completely suppressed by the nightmare, it was I who helped you suppress the nightmare in your body through the spirit runes," the man said flatly.
