Chapter 26: Reality Is Not a Game
This sudden sneak attack was completely unexpected by Gu Cheng.
He hadn't imagined in advance that there was another cultivator hidden in this pool.
His heart was cold.
Since the crossing, his full self-confidence, lofty posture, and the psychology of thinking that he is in control of everything have been shattered by the impact at this moment.
At this moment, he finally realized that this was the real world, and it was no longer his original game.
In the game, everything has been set, monsters will not run around, they will not sneak attack, NPCs will also do things according to the process set by the system, everything is in order, but in the real world, this is not the case.
Everything in reality is uncertain.
There are too many external factors that influence.
For example, the hematite copy in front of them, if they follow the usual practice in the game, after killing this general's Yin Soul, they can receive the reward and leave, but in fact, a cultivator who is hiding in the shadows suddenly appears and attacks them mercilessly.
This person is obviously also a veteran, not only is he extremely ruthless, but he also has the right timing, such a blow is to directly take Gu Cheng's life.
An unprecedented death crisis loomed over his heart, and although Gu Cheng kept retreating, he knew very well in his heart that he couldn't dodge this killing blow.
"Ah Cheng, get out of the way!"
But at this time, a burst of shouting suddenly sounded.
Gu Cheng raised his head in astonishment.
saw Tan Wu jump up, holding the long knife tightly in both hands, directly across a distance of several zhang, and slashed down with a fierce knife.
With a bang, the Yin Qi spear was smashed by Tan Wu, and it exploded, and Tan Wu was also shocked out by the energy of the explosion, and slammed into the stone wall of the cave, spurting several mouthfuls of blood.
"Awu!"
Gu Cheng was shocked, his face changed greatly, and he immediately struggled to stand up and ran over.
"Deal with the damn guy first, I'm fine."
At this time, Tan Wu waved his hand again and again, although his face was pale, his voice was full of anger, and it was obviously not hurt.
Gu Cheng stopped abruptly, and immediately turned around and looked at the man in black who was sneaking up.
The man in black saw that he didn't succeed in the blow he was bound to get, and his eyes also showed a trace of obvious surprise and regret, but the opportunity had been missed, and the three of Gu Cheng were also on guard, so he didn't rush to make a move.
"Who the hell is Your Excellency, and why did you sneak attack?"
With a move of Gu Cheng's right hand, the top-grade magic sword immediately returned to his hand, and at the same time, the true yuan mana in his body operated rapidly, the surging aura surged and spread, and a trace of cold killing intent that could not be concealed was also revealed from Gu Cheng's eyes.
Seeing the change in his momentum, the man in black stared slightly, but showed a slightly solemn look, and at the same time looked at Cui Ying who was approaching next to him, and Tan Wu, who had already stood up again, he grinned, but laughed,
"It seems that the Yaoyang Sect has recruited some good disciples recently, which is a bit interesting."
"I didn't expect you to find out about this place so quickly, since that's the case, then I won't play with you, there are still some things to deal with today, otherwise, hehe......"
"I'm Hu Chen of the Corpse Refining Sect, remember my name, maybe it won't be long before we meet again, and at that time, you may not have such good luck!"
The man in black seemed to mean a cold smile, and then before Gu Cheng and the three of them could react, his figure flashed, and the whole person directly turned into a violent wind and rushed out of the cave.
The speed was so fast that it didn't give Gu Cheng and the three of them the slightest chance to intercept.
Seeing his departing back, Gu Cheng clenched his steel teeth, and his face was full of chagrin.
After all, the strength is still too weak, otherwise, how can I watch this guy leave.
"Who is Hu Chen, have you heard of it?"
Gu Cheng turned to Cui Ying and asked.
"If what he said is true, he should be a well-known master among the younger generation of the Corpse Refining Sect, it is said that his cultivation has reached the late stage of condensation, although he is not as good as Senior Sister Qiu Shimei of our sect, but he is also one of the outstanding figures in the younger generation of the Wei Kingdom." Cui Ying didn't think much about it, and quickly replied.
Obviously, this Hu Chen is indeed not an unknown person, otherwise Cui Ying would not be so familiar.
As the senior sister of the Yaoyang Sect, Qiu Shimei's cultivation is not comparable to Gu Cheng, the "senior brother" who has just taken office, her cultivation has reached the consummation level of the condensation stage, and she is only one step away from the Dan Formation Stage, and she can be said to be one of the strongest among the young monks of the entire Wei Kingdom.
Hu Chen is only one line behind her, and he is undoubtedly the best among the younger generation of Wei.
Once this was confirmed, Gu Cheng had no intention of contempt, and it could be seen from the previous sneak attack that Hu Chen was indeed an experienced opponent.
However, Gu Cheng didn't have much to worry about, although he started late, but with the help of the system, his growth rate was definitely far faster than those so-called geniuses, and the next time they met, he might not be able to tell who was better than whom.
For example, the experience gained from killing many Yin Corpse Resentful Souls this time was enough to make his cultivation improve a lot, which was an advantage that others were far from comparable.
"The next time we meet, I will definitely take revenge for today!"
Looking at the direction in which Hu Chen left, Gu Cheng gritted his teeth and muttered to himself in his heart.
……
Although something went wrong in the middle, there were no casualties in the end.
The end result is still good.
Hu Chen, a disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect who was hidden in the mine, was forced out, and those Yin Corpse Resentful Souls and the Yin Soul of the Martial Commander were all cleaned up and killed by Gu Cheng and others.
It can be said that they have completed most of the sect's tasks this time, as long as they go back and explain the situation.
As for the problem of the Yin Cave, it is not something they can solve, they can only report to the sect and let the sect send someone to deal with it, otherwise, after a long time, it will still attract other Yin ghost creatures to come over.
When Gu Cheng and the others walked out of the mine, Pei Dongjun and the others immediately greeted them.
"Three senior brothers and sisters, what's going on inside?"
Pei Dongjun asked eagerly.
"Did someone just come out of there?" Gu Cheng didn't answer the rhetorical question.
Pei Dongjun was slightly stunned, and then nodded and said, "It seems to be a person, but it is wrapped in a layer of black wind, we can't see clearly, and before we can go up to ask, he left directly, and we can't stop it if we want to." ”
Hearing this, Rao is Gu Cheng didn't have much hope for them, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
Pei Dongjun is also a shrewd person, seeing Gu Cheng's gloomy expressions, he knew that there must be something in it, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he immediately spoke, "Three senior brothers and sisters, why don't you go and rest first, and then discuss and deal with this matter, how about it?" ”
"The problem in the mine has been solved, you can send someone in to clean it up later."
"As for the person just now, he is a disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect, and he made trouble about the things in the mine, you immediately send an order, and if you find his traces in the vicinity, you will report it immediately."
Gu Cheng didn't bother to talk nonsense, so he directly commanded.
Hearing this, Pei Dongjun was stunned.
