Xu Cheng carefully helped Tian Qiang to hide in a dilapidated house.

The yin corpses around the house have been cleaned up by Xu Cheng. These Yin Corpses are not those Yin Corpses they have encountered before, so it is much easier to deal with, and basically they have not wasted much effort, but it is more troublesome to clean up the traces.

However, for Xu Cheng, it just takes more time.

He has a lot of experience in several secret adventures, so it is not too difficult to deal with these things.

"Lao Xu, it seems that this time, I am going to explain here." Tian Qiang let out a violent cough, and his face looked very depressed.

After he was attacked by the Yin corpse with the strength of the Xuan Realm, before he and Xu Cheng could leave, they fell into the encirclement of a large group of Yin corpses. There are more than fifty Yin corpses with the strength of the second and third layers of Tongxuan, if the strength of Xu Cheng and Tian Qiang has been restored, then they will naturally not care, but they have been damaged in their cultivation because of the wrong way to enter the underground palace, and in the face of the encirclement of these Yin corpses, they can only choose to break through.

It's just that in this process, Tian Qiang was besieged by several Yin corpses, and when Xu Cheng couldn't rescue him, he suffered some minor injuries. In normal times, this is nothing, and you can recover after a period of rest.

But now that he is in such a dangerous secret realm, the changes brought about by this injury seem to be big or small.

The most obvious thing is that in the two days after the breakthrough, they were besieged by several waves of Yin corpses one after another. The strength of these Yin Corpses is strong and weak, and there is even one of them whose strength has reached the level of the sixth layer of Tongxuan, and the result is that in this battle, Tian Qiang's original little injury became the straw that crushed him, and he was forced to fight the Yin Corpse General head-on, and he was not only seriously injured in the end, but even infected with corpse poison.

The awakening of the Yin Corpse General is the third stage of change in the underground palace.

This means that the giant bear guardian spirit has officially returned to the dungeon.

It's just that Xu Cheng and Tian Qiang didn't know the reason, they just thought that they were all strengthened by Ye Kong's yin qi. The resentment towards Ye Kong in his heart naturally increased, especially after Tian Qiang was infected with corpse poison, Xu Cheng felt even more remorseful in his heart.

If he could do it all over again, he would never choose to risk the lives of so many people in order to discover the secrets of the Golden Compass.

The corpse poison may be easily removed in the outside world, or if the elixir is equipped in advance, it is not a problem for the monk. Unlike mortals, once infected with corpse poison, they can basically only explain the aftermath and wait for death.

With the physique of a monk, as long as it is not a corpse poison above the level of the corpse king, it can still be supported for a long time.

Although Tian Qiang's cultivation was only able to reach the level of about the sixth or seventh layer of Xuan because of his injury, he himself was a genuine sixth-layer cultivator, and his physique had also been greatly improved, so he was naturally able to hold the corpse poison into his body for two days without dying. Of course, part of the credit for this is because Xu Cheng fed a lot of antidote pills to Tian Qiang in the past two days.

"Don't talk nonsense, we all survived such a dangerous situation last time." Xu Cheng helped Tian Qiang sit on a back chair before he spoke and comforted, "This corpse poison is at least five days away from completely entering your heart." Five days was enough time for us to find a way out. ”

Tian Qiang smiled and did not answer again.

But both of them actually know it.

Tian Qiang may indeed be able to support another five days, but that means that if fierce fighting no longer breaks out, otherwise this time will be shortened to three or two days, or even one day. Moreover, even if he could really hold out for five days, after leaving this underground palace, it would take three days for them to return to Empty Mountain City at the earliest, would he still be able to hold on?

"Don't worry, Lao Tian." Xu Cheng smiled, his smile was a little tired, his energy consumption was also not low, even if he had cultivated the "Forging God Technique" to strengthen his spirit, he had experienced several days of hard fighting in a row, and he had no time to rest at all, with his cultivation of the Xuan Realm, he had basically reached the limit, "This time, we will definitely be able to spend it safely, just like we have fought side by side so many times before." ”

"Not many times." Tian Qiangqiang laughed, "I've known you for so long, and we've taken three adventures together." ”

"Four times." Xu Cheng said with a serious face.

"Okay, count this time." Tian Qiang shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "I'm glad I was able to meet you thirty years ago. ”

"Don't say so much." Xu Cheng's face was slightly gloomy, and his voice was a little low, "Save more strength, I'll go and see if I can find some spirit fruits nearby, maybe it can help you recover ......"

"Actually, you and I both understand things, so why waste your energy." Tian Qiang sighed, "This time, we did it wrong. …… However, the cultivation world was originally a world of the jungle, and if it was replaced by the Zhao family, the result would be no different. It's just that we miscalculated Zhao Hu......"

"It's my fault." Xu Cheng also sighed, "If I hadn't been blinded by desire, maybe I would have been able to find out that something was wrong with him." I always thought he was just hiding it, which was ridiculous. …… And, if we hadn't been so aggressive, maybe the outcome would have been different. ”

"Not so many ifs." Tian Qiang shook his head, "If you are wrong, you will pay the price, if you succeed, you will gain, every choice is an opportunity, this is the cultivation world." ”

"That's right." Xu Cheng smiled bitterly.

For a while, the two people in the room fell into a silent atmosphere.

There may be remorse, or there may be unwillingness, but as Tian Qiang said, the cultivation world is so naked, real, and cruel. No matter what kind of cultivator a person is, no matter what status, identity, or background he or she is, no matter whether the result of every choice is good or bad, they must bear it with all their might. Because of a mistake, the sect declined, or even was destroyed, abound in the monastic world.

In the past, the Mu family was just one of the few big gates in Chizhou, they took advantage of a major decision-making mistake of the Fang family, and then with thousands of years of hard work, they finally stepped into the threshold of the family, became one of the nine major families in Shenzhou, and became the family representative of the entire Chizhou, and was respected as Mu Wangfu.

If there was no decision-making mistake of the Fang family, if there was no time when the Mu family dared to challenge and fight, or if the Mu family failed to challenge the other family, the result of all this would have been different. But unfortunately, there is no what if, as long as the decision is made, then it must bear all these consequences.

"Looks like you know who I am."

Just when Tian Qiang and Xu Cheng were still immersed in lamentation, Ye Kong had already pushed open the door of their hiding house and stepped in.

Different from the frustration and helplessness when Ye Kong was coerced by them before, Ye Kong at this time exuded a kind of self-confidence as a strong man. He may still not have a high strength, only entering the Xuan Great Perfection, and there is still a half-step difference between him and the Tongxuan Realm, which is not a small gap compared to the sixth layer of the Tongxuan when Xu Cheng and Tian Qiang cultivated to the end, but at least at this moment, Ye Kong, who was standing in front of Xu Cheng and Tian Qiang, also had the demeanor and strength to look down on these two.

"It's you!" When he saw Ye Kong, Xu Cheng's face changed suddenly, revealing a trace of horror, "Enter the Xuan Great Perfection!" You really aren't Zhao Hu! Who are you! ”

"Didn't you already guess that?" Ye Kong looked at Tian Qiang and Xu Cheng with a smile on his face, "Is there any point in talking this nonsense now?" ”

"What do you want?" Xu Cheng said in a deep voice, looking very guarded.

If his cultivation is fully recovered, he will naturally not be afraid of the Xuan Great Perfection only based on Ye Kong's manifestation, what he is worried about is only Ye Kong's ghost cultivation identity and strength. But at this moment, he was only able to exert the strength of entering and exiting the eighth layer of Xuan, and even if Zhao Hu in front of him did not expose the strength of ghost cultivation, the cultivation realm of entering the Xuanda Perfection was enough to suppress him.

This is where Xu Cheng is helpless.

Even if the "Forging God Technique" recorded a secret method that could burst out of its full potential in a short period of time, he didn't think that he could win Zhao Hu with this secret method.

Facing Xu Cheng's inquiry, Ye Kong smiled and did not speak.

"What happened before, it was indeed our rudeness first, and we asked our seniors to raise their noble hands." Xu Cheng gritted his teeth, and finally bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "As long as the seniors are willing to let us go, after we go back, our Xu family will definitely reward us heavily, and we will never let the seniors down." ”

In the monastic world, when encountering an enemy who is too much stronger than oneself, it is not a shameful thing to bow your head and admit your mistakes.

After all, the cultivation world was originally a world of the jungle.

"Do you think it's possible?" Ye Kong shook his head and smiled, "As long as you leave this underground palace, I think the first thing you do is to publicize my identity, right?" At that time, I will be busy evading the pursuit of the Confucian Taoist Palace, so how can I have any time and energy to trouble you. If I'm not a ghost cultivator, or if this is a remote place, then I don't care, but it's a pity that this is the Western Continent. ”

Hearing Ye Kong's words, Xu Cheng's face changed suddenly, and he drank in a deep voice: "Lao Tian, go quickly!" I'm going to delay for a moment! ”

After saying that, I saw that Xu Cheng's eyes were red, his skin was exposed, his muscles were bulging, and a stream of steam came out of his body, and the momentum of his whole body was climbing at an astonishing speed.

And Tian Qiang, who was originally weak and exhausted, also suddenly lifted his breath after listening to Xu Cheng's words, and then moved hard, and the whole person slammed into the wall behind him, ready to break through the wall. He had long known that in Xu Cheng's cultivation of the "Forging God Technique", there was a secret method that could forcibly restore or even improve his cultivation at the cost of serious injury and weakness, so he was not worried that Xu Cheng would die here, anyway, it was just to create an opportunity for him to escape, he believed that Xu Cheng would never fight to the death here without retreating.

I have to say that Xu Cheng and Tian Qiang do have an extraordinary tacit understanding, and they also trust each other very much.

With just one sentence, the two already understood each other's plans, and tried their best to cooperate with each other, without any signs of delay.

However, looking at this scene, Ye Kong shook his head and smiled,

He didn't say anything, just opened his mouth slightly, and a cold breath suddenly spit out from Ye Kong's mouth.

Immediately afterward, an invisible sound wave vibrated in all directions with Ye Kong as the center of the circle.

At first, it was just a transmission of a sound wave, but after a fraction of a second, a sharp and piercing scream exploded. The walls of the entire house, the roof, and all the furniture in the house were shattered into dust under the vibration of this sound wave.

The terrible screams are full of resentment, hatred, and hatred of all kinds of negative emotions, which make people's hearts stir and angry, and they can't control themselves at all. And as this scream deepened, both Xu Cheng and Tian Qiang only felt that their souls were suddenly cold, as if their souls were about to be frozen, and bursts of violent tearing pain also began to invade from the sea of consciousness, reaching the depths of their souls.

Three hatreds and mourning!

Originally, because he used the secret method to forcibly induce the Divine Soul Divine Thought to improve his cultivation strength, Xu Cheng, who was stimulated by the terrible screams of the three hatreds, bore the brunt of it and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood. Not only did his cultivation strength not recover, but because of the secret method that prompted the secret method, the divine soul was in an unprotected state, and the strength of the attack was greatly damaged, and at this time, the whole person was completely standing, and he fell in a piece of dust, dying.

On the contrary, Tian Qiang on the side, although his face was very ugly, and he even looked very weak, and the corpse poison aggravated his lifespan - there was only about one day left, but no matter what, he was much better than Xu Cheng's image at the moment.

Without the slightest hesitation, Tian Qiang turned around and rushed towards Ye Kong, with hideous anger on his face.

Because at this moment, Ye Kong's face was also bloody, and his legs were shaking slightly, looking a little powerless.

In the face of Tian Qiang's culling, Ye Kong didn't move, as if he hadn't seen Tian Qiang's actions at all, he just stared down at Xu Cheng, the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Why do you think I waited until you cast the 'Condensation Method' before letting out this scream?" ”

In Xu Cheng's shocked and inexplicable look, Ye Kong slowly said another sentence: "Do you think I don't know that you are cultivating the Divine Forging Technique?" Or, who do you think wrote the "Forging Divine Formula" you obtained? ”

In the dust fluttering in the sky, which was enough to cover the sky and the sun, an iron-blue one suddenly poked out, and firmly grasped Tian Qiang, who was only one step away from completely knocking down Ye Kong. With just a slight exertion, Tian Qiang, who was already weak, was immediately pinched and exploded in his whole head.

This step has naturally become a barrier that can never be surmounted!
