The black flying rabbit walked, and in a blink of an eye, the evening came, and the remnant sun set in the west, dyeing patches of red glow in the sky.

Li Xunlian's eyebrows were slightly closed, and he was sitting cross-legged in the cave at the moment, his breathing was very steady, and his body seemed to be surrounded by bright white qi.

This is already the last drill for him to bear the limit, if he can't break through, then there is no hope of breaking through today. But even if you can't break through, it doesn't matter much. If Li Cheng made an all-out move, even if he broke through to the Guxuan Realm, it would not be of much use. On the contrary, it is not impossible to win against Qing Lingzi with the peak strength of Kaixuan, it is nothing more than a lot of effort.

Qi travels through the liver meridians, and then goes to the lungs and intestines, impacting the meridians and passes along the way, although it is all the way, but it always lacks a trace of meaning.

In recent days, Li Xunlian has frequently felt that the Xuan Qi in his body has soared to the Heavenly Spirit Divine Mansion, which is a sign of breakthrough, but this should be something to be happy about, but it makes Li Xunlian have mixed joys.

Naturally, if the breakthrough is successful, the strength will skyrocket. In terms of Xuan Qi control alone, opening the Xuan Realm to consolidating the Xuan Realm is a qualitative leap. As the name suggests, Kaixuan is just to open up the meridian Xuanfeng, so that ordinary martial artists can feel and lead into the body. Gu Xuan, on the other hand, stabilizes the Xuan Qi in the meridians, so it operates more freely, and the amount of weight that can be absorbed from heaven and earth is also more.

To make a simple analogy, they are all square stools, with three legs in the Xuan Realm and four legs in the Xuan Realm, and it is clear who is more stable at a glance.

As for what worries Li Xunlian, it's a little complicated.

He began to enter the middle stage of Kaixuan in the early winter of last year, and only reached the peak after the whole cold winter, although there were many troubles and disturbances during the period, but it took a lot of time. Of course, this is just for himself, if it is placed on ordinary Xuan Xiu, this is a thing worth showing off.

But now, he has just stepped into the peak for less than a month, how can he suddenly show signs of breakthrough again so quickly?

Thinking back, the first signs of a breakthrough appeared on the night of the strange people in the village. Ever since he felt the kind of aura that was different from the Xuan Qi but quite similar, the Xuan Qi in his body seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and it became active.

"Could it be related to the aura controlled by the strange monster...... Li Xunlian frowned slightly, he didn't have this idea before, but after coming into contact with the monster today, the Xuan Qi in his body was a little more restless, thinking about it, it was probably because his own Xuan Qi was stimulated again by the breath emitted by the monster, so it was like this.

"It's really foggy!" Li Xunlian couldn't calm down, so he simply opened his eyes directly.

At this moment, the sky outside is already very hazy, looking at the past, the village is full of green smoke, it should be busy with spring ploughing, are making fires and cooking.

"The difficulty of ingesting Xuan Qi is related to the end of the world, and the end of the world is related to the strange people robbing the villagers, but the breath controlled by the strange people can stimulate the Xuan Xiu Xuan Qi, and this stimulation seems to be able to greatly reduce the speed of breakthrough, but the so-called speed is not reached, but I don't know if there will be any negative effects. And is there a connection to all of this......"

Got up and came to the entrance of the cave, his eyes swept to the two peaks in the southwest, and two faint white lights could be faintly seen in the mountains and forests that were not famous, presumably Qing Lingzi and Li Cheng were also practicing Xuanqi.

"Heh, this is a preparation for war. After sneering, Li Xunlian returned to the cave again, everyone is still preparing for the battle, how can he be lazy, we have to respect the opponent.

This time, Li Xunlian didn't think about those messy things, and concentrated on practicing Xuanqi, and after about half an hour, the last round of drills had been completed.

There was no breakthrough, but Li Xunlian keenly sensed that as long as there was a little bit of stimulation, a breakthrough would come.

The spring days are still very short, and it is only half an hour before the sky is completely dark. As the weather has hardly changed in recent days, there are dark clouds rolling on the edge of the dome, and I am afraid that it will rain at night.

"It's getting dark, and I think Qing Lingzi is about to do it. ”

Li Xunlian got up, and the Xuan Qi traveled around his body and merged into his palm, accompanied by a crackling sound, and the blue lightning flashed away.

All he had to do now was wait, and there were two things to wait for. First, Qing Lingzi was in trouble. Second, if you are lucky, you may encounter a murderer who robs the villagers, after all, the imperial city and Jiaozhou are the places where missing people frequently occur.

Time passed little by little, as if he was disgusted that the sky was not dark enough, Qing Lingzi did not come over for a long time, and Li Xunlian was bored, so he practiced the wind and thunder palm in the cave.

The wind howled, and an electric light burst out from the palm of his hand, and with a loud bang, a half-human-high black stone shattered into powder.

It is said to be practicing, but in fact it is just passing the time. This wind and thunder palm is just a Xuanjing exercise, simple and rude, under the premise of obvious drawbacks, it is naturally extremely easy to get started, for a talented person like Li Xunlian, practicing it is a matter of hand-to-hand capture, nothing more than proficiency or not.

Practicing and practicing, Li Xunlian's figure of Gu Panxi appeared in his mind, don't look at her usual stupidity, but her Xuangong talent is really amazing, but what is this idiot doing now, staring at a small grass and being stunned? Or talking nonsense to a few swimming fish? Or swinging her horse's tail and picking wildflowers in the dark in the back mountain......

Just thinking about it, there was a fluttering sound of wings outside, from far and near, and then a white shadow flashed into the hole, it was a red tassel carrier pigeon flying from Li Yue Xiaozhu.

Stretching out his hand to beckon it to fall into the palm of his hand, Li Xunlian untied the letterbox tied to the pigeon's right limb and pulled out the plug to take the letter from the view.

The letter was written by Gu Panxi, and the content was so simple that it was outrageous, with a total of four words - what are you doing?

It's called letter writing!

Li Xunlian was speechless for a while, and he kept slandering in his heart, a fool is a fool, and saying that she is a fool is praising her.

However, at the same time, an inexplicable sweetness came to his heart, and even Li Xun didn't even notice it.

The light of the Sumeru ring flashed, and the pen and paper appeared in his hand, Li Xun didn't even want to reply directly, and stuffed the bamboo tube back into the bamboo tube after writing and released the carrier pigeon.

The content is also minimalist, three words - about the girl.

Seeing the carrier pigeon flying farther and farther, Li Xunlian laughed evilly, and said that when the idiot saw this letter, he would definitely scold himself for being shameless, scolding her, and angry her!

"Yo Yo Yo, what's wrong with looking for Gongzi, which sister are you thinking about?" There was a sound of ridicule outside the cave, it was Qing Xuanzi who didn't know when he came.

Hearing this, Li Xunlian hurriedly collected his thoughts, he only thought about amusing Gu Panxi, and he didn't even notice when Qing Lingzi arrived outside the cave.

Tilting his head to look at Qing Lingzi, Li Xunlian sneered: "This makes you see that your IQ has grown." ”

As soon as his face sank, Qing Lingzi was about to be angry, he hated others to make a fuss about his IQ the most, let alone the person he wanted to kill.

"Don't talk nonsense, you colluded with evil demons and outsiders, robbed the villagers and did all kinds of evil, today I will do the way for heaven and punish you evil fang!"

It's a high-sounding reason, but what are you pretending to be like this in this situation, and you're full?

"Heh, you are really condescending to take the road of Xuanxiu, otherwise you will definitely be an old drama bone who is popular all over Kyushu. Li Xunlian was sarcastic, and his mind flashed directly, Sumeru's ring was shining, and the Dragon Shadow Sword was already in his hand.

Qing Lingzi was inexplicably more angry when he saw this dragon shadow sword, and screamed strangely, even if he wanted to do it.

But at this moment, Li Cheng's figure suddenly flashed out again, and after he stood still, he first signaled silence, and then swept towards the village with his eyes.

Li Xunlian's heart sank, he knew that today's luck was really not bad, and he really bumped into the murderer!

Walking quickly to the edge of the cave, I saw from a distance that the people of the village were gathering from their homes to the open space at the east end of the village, all with torches in their hands, old and weak women and children, strong young people, in short, all of them were heading there.

"Can you and I put it on hold? He looked back at Qing Lingzi, but when he turned around, Li Cheng quickly turned his head to look away.

Li Xunlian knew that this Li Cheng must have taken advantage of the time to explain something to Qing Lingzi behind his back.

"What's the matter with you and me? Don't talk nonsense, it's still the villagers who matter, and I'll wait until I get there as soon as possible. Qing Lingzi had a bad look, and he didn't know what the hell he was going to do.

But no matter what ghosts live in his heart, the top priority is to rescue the villagers, judging from their behavior, it should be to perform the bonfire ceremony again, and once the bonfire ceremony is performed, it is likely to mean that there will be another missing person.

Without further words, Li Xunlian took the lead in lurking in the village.

Behind him, Li Cheng took the opportunity to walk out and leaned over to Qing Lingzi's side, and whispered: "I haven't finished speaking, the murderer is about to appear, let's design to let the surnamed Li take the lead, if he dies at the hands of the murderer, this matter is perfect." ”

"Hey, look at your eyes, that's wonderful. "If you want to say that this Qing Lingzi's IQ is really not low, otherwise he would definitely not react when Li Cheng was halfway through his words, and give up the original plan to kill Li Xunlian directly.

The two looked at each other and sneered, and then quietly followed behind Li Xunlian and rushed towards the village.

In order to prevent alarming the murderer, although they were fast, they controlled their breath and did not reveal the slightest expression, completely relying on the innate speed of their respective divine body veins to sweep forward.

Li Xunlian took the lead, Qing Lingzi was three or five zhang behind, and Li Cheng was more than six zhang behind, which showed the gap between the body and the veins.

"Hmph, the body veins are not bad, but they don't have any effect, and you will definitely die tonight. Qing Lingzi was indignant in his heart, and falling behind Li Xunlian made him very unhappy.

"This son does have some doorways, and the secret of Dao Yan forcibly improves the body vein, which is known as the strength of Kyushu's second only to the royal family Aolong bloodline, and this Qing Lingzi is obviously trying his best to catch up, but after all, it still can't be surpassed, and the gap between the two body veins is not small. Li Cheng's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he was also secretly thinking.

The two of them had their own thoughts, but Li Xunlian in front of him had no distractions, and his heart was beating with him as he saw that he was getting closer and closer to the village.

If you can hold the monster or the monster this time, then it is possible to open all the fog. The last days of Kyushu, the mystery of Xuanqi, no matter which one it is, it is the most important thing about the world!

There are many villagers in the village who cut down the whole firewood pile in winter, and they have not been burned for a winter, but they are still lined up at the moment, which is enough to hide their figures.

Quickly leaning towards the place where the villagers were concentrated, and when Li Xunlian was in place, the bonfire was lit, and the ceremony just began......

Li Xunlian didn't know to what extent the bonfire ceremony would cause the villagers to disappear, and he didn't know if the monster would appear during the ceremony, so he could only wait quietly.

Recalling that night, when he arrived at the top of the low mountain, he saw the bonfire soaring into the sky, which shows that the bonfire ceremony had been held for a while at that time, and when he went from the top of the mountain to the village, the time it took was only a pillar of incense, but it was the time of this pillar of incense, and all the villagers had disappeared without a trace!

There was a shout at that time, and it was not from the mouth of a person, Li Xunlian remembered it very clearly, but after the investigation, he did not find the slightest trace of struggle, which is strange.

"The strength of the strange man is not too strong, and it should not be possible to cause more than 100 people to disappear without leaving a trace in such a short period of time, and the problem should be in the bonfire ceremony. ”

With bated breath, the bonfire was already blazing, blue and black flames were billowing and smoke billowing out.

"This fire, unusual. ”

Under normal circumstances, the fire heart spawned by firewood burning should be blue and blue, yellow and reddish in the middle of the fire, yellow and orange in the fire, and there is no reason for the whole body to be blue and black, it seems that Li Xunlian guessed well, and this problem really came from the bonfire.

Looking at the villagers again, they are all kneeling on the ground at this moment, bowing deeply, and there are words in their mouths.

"What the hell is this doing?" Li Cheng asked in a low voice beside him, he was not only a member of the royal family, but also a citizen of Kyushu, putting aside snobbery and strife, and being indifferent to such a major event.

Li Xunlian shook his head slightly, signaling to wait and see.

As the villagers chanted louder and louder, the color of the bonfire changed slightly, from blue and black to relatively normal orange and red, and the flames rose half a foot higher.

"Hey, there seems to be something in the fire!" Qing Lingzi snorted, in his eyes, the people were pariahs, and life or death had nothing to do with him, but when he encountered this kind of thing, curiosity was inevitable.

The dry wood burned and crackled, the flames rose and jumped, and when the wind swept by, it was a burst of hulala, blazing hot in the face, like the fire demon spreading its teeth and claws.

Hearing Qing Lingzi's words, Li Xunlian and Li Chengquan both looked at each other, and after a while, their hearts were shocked, but they saw that in the center of the bonfire matchpile, there seemed to be an extremely vague humanoid figure.

This kind of thing is contrary to common sense, no matter what it is, it is absolutely impossible to hide in the raging fire, throughout the 10,000-year history of Kyushu, Xuan Xiu can't, evil cultivation can't, fierce beasts can't, ordinary people can't, etc.

Even if the Shenhai is strong, the fire may burn him without death, but it is absolutely impossible to hide his body safely.

Because the matter is outside the scope of the imagination, Li Xunlian and Li Cheng have not been able to find out before, but Qing Lingzi always likes to do some strange things, and his thinking is very abnormal, which comes in handy now.

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the horror in each other's eyes, and they even forgot about their own scheming.

"Could it be some kind of evil spirit?" Li Cheng said after a moment of silence.

Taoist legends say that all things in heaven and earth have spirituality, such as human beings ingest the mystical energy of heaven and earth to cultivate supernatural powers, flowers, trees, mountains, stones, poultry and livestock absorb the essence of heaven and earth and swallow the essence of the sun and the moon, after 10,000 years can also be spiritual, this is a god.

In some special places, such as mass graves, ancient battlefields, and death dungeons, the anger of death is too heavy, and the creatures in this place swallow this breath all the year round, and over the years, they will produce evil delusions and become evil spirits.

Of course, this is just a legend, and Li Xunlian and the others don't believe it very much, after all, they haven't seen any evil spirits in any way for so many years.

But now, they have to be cautious and maintain an attitude of believing in what they have rather than what they don't.

"Does your sect have any records of fire evil spirits?" Li Cheng frowned and asked again.

Qing Lingzi shook his head, "This evil spirit is a thing that existed in ancient times, at that time, the sky and the earth were not divided into the sky and chaos, and the human breath was not strong enough, that is, the yang energy between the heaven and the earth was insufficient, so it would breed such a strange thing. ”

After listening to the first half of the sentence, Li Xunlian and Li Cheng really felt that it made sense, but after listening to the second half of the sentence, they felt that it was more and more likely that the evil spirit would say it.

The four seas are peaceful, the heaven and earth are going to be frozen, and the sect is flat!

"Jingkong suspects that it is a demon that has not been confirmed, and now there is a possibility of an evil spirit, it can't be a ghost in the legends of Buddhism and Taoism!" Li Xunlian looked deeply at the shadow of Huoxin, his brows furrowed, and he became more and more solemn.

"Look, that thing moves!" Qing Lingzi pointed to the bonfire and shouted. However, this is not because he cares much, but because Li Xunlian and Li Chengdu attach importance to this matter, so they often fall into deep thought, and Qing Lingzi is completely out of curiosity, so it is naturally easier to discover some things.

Following the sound, I saw that the villagers had all stood up, chanting and singing in their mouths, and walked in a circle around the bonfire.

As they moved, the shadows in the heart of the fire became more and more condensed, and the outlines of their facial features had already faintly appeared, and the clearest eyes even flashed with bursts of black light.

Hiss!

The three of them gasped, it was just a shadow before, although it was scary enough, but it could be interpreted as an optical illusion, but now ...... I have to admit that this strange thing is a fact.

When the hearts were swaying, the villagers had already chanted in circles at the beginning of their mouths to close their eyes and silence, as if they were greeting the driver.

Evil spirits and ghosts are about to appear, and you don't have to think about it, this must be the ultimate culprit in the disappearance of people. Li Xun didn't even blink his eyes, his palms were already oozing with a trace of hot sweat, facing things that only exist in legends, the young man's heart was not afraid, but his blood was boiling.

Kill demons and demons, I am alone!

This is the purpose of the inn since its establishment.

Roar!

It was as if a roar from hell sounded in vain, but when the flames fluctuated violently, the figure moved, and it was about to step out!

It's out! It's finally here!

This roar did not wake up the demonic villagers, but their faces became more and more reverent, and they bowed down again, and their mouths began to chant again.

At this moment, a white shadow suddenly swept out of the mountain peak on the north side, and this white shadow came very fast, and it did not seem to fly by as it went, but like some kind of animal, on all fours, jumping on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Li Xunlian's heart moved, and the appearance of the strange man that night appeared in his mind. At the same time, Qing Lingzi also exclaimed, he was also present at the time, although it was far away, but this characteristic was too obvious, how could he forget.

"It is ridiculous that the ignorant and lowly race is about to be sucked into the belly, and they still kowtow and pray!"

A hoarse and shrill voice came from the mouth of the white shadow, not very loud, but it burrowed into the ear drum like an appendage cone, making people's heads tingle.

For some reason, the previous roar was like a drum, but the villagers could not wake up, but before the sound fell, they returned to normal one by one, and then their faces were blank, and then they looked around, and finally exclaimed.

There was a sudden chaos in the field, exclaiming because when they were dazed and looking, the white shadow had already jumped near the bonfire, and the face of this thing was terrifying, like the legendary bloodthirsty and meat-eating demon, how could the villagers not be alarmed.

"Demons!"

"The monster is coming, run!"

Just like that night, it was as if I had turned back time and returned to the village that night.

"Hurry up!" Li Xunlian shouted and jumped out. He didn't know how the weirdos would make the villagers disappear, but he knew it would happen immediately.

The Dragon Shadow Sword suddenly unsheathed, and a blue light swept out, slashing directly at the strange man.

Prior to this, when the white shadow appeared, Li Xunlian and the others were all there, but they didn't notice that the figure in the flames seemed to be stimulated in some way, and the speed of appearing from the flames accelerated.

However, Li Xunlian's sudden action made it stop its figure, and the face that was wrapped in flames and couldn't see clearly seemed to have a big mouth and smiled silently.

"The little bastard of the lowly race, how can it be you again!" the strange man dodged to avoid the attack, jumped into the distance and glared at Li Xunlian.

It was already terrifying, and the whole facial features of this anger were immediately tangled together, the wings of the nose trembled violently, and the fierce light in the eyes shone, which made the villagers more and more flustered.

"I let you escape last time, and I will definitely take you this time!" Li Xunlian snorted coldly, and attacked again with his sword.

In the face of Li Xunlian's attack, the strange man didn't seem to take it very seriously, dodging and frequently sweeping towards the bonfire, with some anxiety in his eyes.

Li Xunlian was sharp-eyed and careful, and immediately noticed it, forced the stranger back with a sword, and took the opportunity to look back.

On the other side, I saw that the figure that was originally hidden in the bonfire just stepped out, this thing was extremely burly, one foot high, and its whole body was wrapped in flames, like a fire demon.

As soon as it breathed away from the flames, it was as if it had been poured with a basin of cold water, and the flames around it were suddenly extinguished, revealing its original appearance.

This is a giant ape with a red body, of course, it is said to be an ape only because it is generally like an ape, and it is not and cannot be sure that it is an ape xenomorph. The body is hairless, the skin is like charcoal, the tail is without a nose, it has a vertical mouth, its internal fangs are sharp, and when it breathes, bursts of black mist erupt, like the smoke of coke rising.

Most importantly, from the moment he got out of the bonfire, Li Xunlian felt an aura of déjà vu.

It's fishy and dry! It's like invading a river of blood and being surrounded by raging fire!

"It's it!" his heart trembled suddenly, although the aura at his eyes was several times stronger than when he was in the post house yesterday, Li Xunlian could definitely tell that this thing was yesterday's monster!

Just as he was shocked, he saw that the monster opened its mouth and spit it out, and a strong fiery whirlwind immediately swept out of it, instantly filling the surrounding several square feet.

Li Xunlian was on the edge of the blazing range, but he still felt like a sea of fire, his hair was scorched, and his life essence was uncontrollably vented outward.

Xuan Xiu is still like this, what can ordinary people do?

But hearing the endless cries for help, more than 100 villagers were burned into ashes by the blazing whirlwind in the blink of an eye, and finally with a wisp of invisible breath, all of them were sucked into the stomach by the monster.

This is a real annihilation, no wonder this thing has never left a clue to follow......
