"Bear"

Black flames filled the field, and in the field, Jiang Xiaoqi stood alone, his dark and deep pupils coldly looking at the black-clothed man who suddenly appeared in the distance, and a violent aura of slaughter lingered around his body. Off the field, everyone felt the killing intent permeated by Jiang Xiaoqi's body, and his eyes were full of horror, such a harmless young man could be filled with such an awe-inspiring killing intent.

And, what kind of power is that black flame, and why does it bring such a cold chill?

"Hehe, are you finally no longer depressed?"

In the messy square, the black-clothed figure looked at the black flames that permeated Jiang Xiaoqi's body, and a cold laugh came out from under the face covered by the black cloth, the sound did not seem to come out of his mouth, but more like a piercing tremor, wrapped in spiritual power, lingering in the entire square.

"Roar"

The words of the man in black seemed to anger Jiang Xiaoqi, and immediately, everyone saw his hoarse roar, which was full of tyranny, which was completely different from Jiang Xiaoqi's usual temperament. Then, everyone saw Jiang Xiaoqi's figure surrounded by black flames flashing, and his body turned into an afterimage, so fast that he could barely see his movements, and he had already swept in front of the black-clothed figure.

"Boom"

Under the spread of black light, Jiang Xiaoqi's strength has reached an incalculable level, everyone saw him slam on the soles of his feet, his body rose into the air, it was difficult to see his movements clearly under the swift figure, and he could only vaguely see through the black light that Jiang Xiaoqi's body turned violently, his legs were wrapped in the whistling wind, and after spinning in the air for a week, he kicked towards the head of the man in black fiercely.

"The strength is very strong, but the cultivation is still not enough. ”

Looking at Jiang Xiaoqi's whip legs, the bare narrow eyes of the black-clothed figure were slightly awkward, and he sneered through the black cloth covering his face.

Then, everyone saw him poking out a big hand from under the black robe, and after the golden light was filled, with a dull bang, he directly clasped Jiang Xiaoqi's whip leg fiercely, but then, seeing the bare eyebrows of the man in black, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and looked at Jiang Xiaoqi's ankle in his hand with indifferent eyes, and a little inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.

At the ankle that was grabbed by the man in black, the black flames that lingered between Jiang Xiaoqi's body were burning, and he rushed straight to the big hand that the man in black stretched out, and the deep black instantly spread, domineeringly devouring the golden light that permeated the palm of the man in black.

"Bang"

After perceiving the strangeness of the black light, the man in black frowned, and then, he saw his big hand behind him poking out suddenly, and suddenly saw the golden light spreading, and his swift movements were a few points faster than Jiang Xiaoqi at the moment, and he slapped the latter's chest fiercely.

With a dull sound, Jiang Xiaoqi was repelled by the powerful golden light, and the black flames spreading in his chest dimmed a little at this moment. However, at this time, Jiang Xiaoqi, who was spread by the black light, seemed to be unaware, as if he was a machine that only knew how to kill, tireless, and immediately, everyone saw the black light rising around him, and he was about to rush out again, pounced on the black-clothed figure standing opposite.

But then, Jiang Xiaoqi's figure that was about to dodge out was blocked by a wide sleeved robe, and suddenly, Jiang Xiaoqi felt a surging heat wave coming from his face, scorching hot and strong, diluting the cold aura spreading around him a lot.

Beside Jiang Xiaoqi, a figure suddenly appeared at some point, wearing a yellow Taoist robe like a fortune teller, tall, wearing a Taoist hat like a robe, a pair of sword eyebrows raised slightly, and the whole person gave people a solemn sense of not being angry and arrogant.

And this person Jiang Xiaoqi had seen that during the last trip to the ancient tomb, in that remote town, Jiang Xiaoqi once found the black iron key left by the spirit rune master in a broken clay pot stall, and then obtained the inheritance of the spirit rune master.

And the yellow-robed Taoist who suddenly appeared in front of him was the stall owner Jiang Xiaoqi had seen, the person who exchanged fifty spirit crystals for the key, but he didn't know why, he appeared here at this moment.

"Roar"

For the yellow-robed Taoist who blocked his way, Jiang Xiaoqi's eyes full of black light were awe-inspiring, and he immediately heard his hoarse roar, and then, Jiang Xiaoqi's right arm wrapped in black light suddenly burst out and smashed straight into the yellow-robed Taoist who appeared beside him.

"Buzz"

However, before Jiang Xiaoqi's fist mark filled with black light fell, everyone saw the yellow-robed Taoist beside the former flick his fingertips, and then, a red blood bead quickly swept out from his fingertips, and was pointed at Jiang Xiaoqi's eyebrows by that Taoist.

Then, everyone saw that the spiritual light bloomed in the palm of the person's palm, and after half a breath, a delicate rune slowly took shape under the outline of the blood beads, and it was engraved on Jiang Xiaoqi's eyebrows, condensed into a blood-colored line.

"Bear"

And after the runes outlined by the blood beads were formed, everyone's eyes were surprised to see that the raging black light that permeated Jiang Xiaoqi's body was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye, converging into the body, and soon after, they saw Jiang Xiaoqi's dark and deep pupils regain their clarity again, and their eyes looked at the yellow-robed Taoist who suddenly appeared in front of them with a little blankness.

"Greetings to the Castle Lord"

In the crowd outside the venue, Zhao Yi's eyes were sharp, looking at the yellow-robed Taoist who suddenly appeared in the field, he immediately stood up, walked forward with brisk steps, and bowed to the Taoist under the surprised gaze of everyone outside the venue, and his words were full of solemn words.

"Is he the city lord of the Great Wilderness City?"

In the field, Jiang Xiaoqi, who had recovered his expression, looked at the yellow-robed Taoist beside him, his eyes were slightly dark, and after clasping his fists and saluting, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

From beginning to end, he never imagined that this Taoist, who once looked like a divine stick, would have such an identity. It is estimated that at the beginning, the city lord relied on the pile of broken crockpots to fool many people.

"Greetings to the Castle Lord"

Outside the venue, everyone looked at Zhao Yi's respectful demeanor, coupled with the honorific title he shouted, and immediately understood, although they had not seen this mysterious city lord, but judging from Zhao Yi's respectful expression, the Taoist in yellow robe must be the city lord of this great wilderness city.

Immediately, I saw everyone standing up together, standing behind Zhao Yi, and bowing to the yellow-robed figure standing in the field, with a respectful expression.

"Kyo... Greetings to the city lord"

The loud shouts from the audience pulled Lu Ming from his shocked expression, and a complicated look surged on his bloodstained cheeks, but then, like everyone else, Lu Ming bowed down, bowed to the yellow-robed Taoist who suddenly appeared in the field, and said with a somewhat slurred speech.

"Although my great desolate city is located in a remote and condescended corner, there are some things that my old bones can still solve, and it is not the turn of outsiders to interfere. ”

With a wave of the wide sleeved robe, the Taoist signaled everyone to be exempt, and then saw him slightly sideways, with a face of no anger and self-authority, his eyes flashed with indifference, and he looked at the black-clothed figure standing in the field, and spoke coldly.

"Hehe, I don't bother to meddle in the affairs of your great wilderness city, the purpose of my coming here is just to see if the cause that was once planted is now the flowering season. ”

For the Taoist's loud question, the black-clothed figure smiled indifferently, his bare eyes glowed with a meaningful luster, and the Taoist fell on Jiang Xiaoqi's body, looking at the latter as if he was appreciating a work of art, such inexplicable words fell on Jiang Xiaoqi's ears, and for a while he had a few doubts in his heart.

"Hmph, maybe the things behind you are huge, but in the Great Wilderness City, my old bones are still sure to leave you behind. ”

Hearing the sneering words of the man in black, the Taoist frowned and spoke again.

Then they saw that the robes of their lords of the city were windless, and that they were hunting. Immediately afterwards, an indescribable aura began to spread from the Taoist's body, instantly permeating all corners of the square, disappearing in a flash, and finally, all of them were overshadowed by the black-clothed figure standing in the field.

"Hmph"

snorted coldly, and then, everyone saw that under the wide robe of the black-clothed figure, a strong aura of spiritual power also spread, and the golden brilliance tightly wrapped his body, resisting the brutal coercion poured from the outside world, and the robe was blown by the swollen strong wind.

"With your strength to be able to get to this point, I think it's not low, but it's useless to me. ”

Looking at the golden light permeating the black-clothed figure, the Daoist's sword eyebrows sank slightly, and his heart sank, and then he spoke coldly, and saw his body tremble, and the coercion that permeated his body was once again flourishing, and the howling wind rose in the air.

And beside the Taoist, Jiang Xiaoqi, who was outside the coercion, shrank his pupils, and swept a few dignified touches. Although he was wrapped in azure spiritual power around him, he was still blown upside down and flew out under the purification of the aftermath, and his eyes were full of shock.

"Poof"

The powerful coercion swept over, instantly covering the body of the black-clothed figure, only to see that the defense condensed by the golden light around him collapsed in an instant under the heavy pressure of the Taoist. Immediately afterwards, the eyes of everyone outside the arena were shocked to see that the black-clothed figure standing with his hands staggered backwards, and the black cloth covering his face was soaked with blood spit out at this moment.

"Whew"

At the same time as the figure in black staggered backwards, the powerful coercion permeated in the field retreated like a tide, and the light flashed away, all of which converged into the body of the Taoist, only to see his tall figure standing with his hands in his hands, and a pair of sword eyebrows flashed with an indifferent expression.

"I didn't expect that in such a remote town, there are still characters like you hidden. ”

Raising his hand to wipe away the blood stains under the black cloth, the man in black sneered and spoke, his eyes looked at the yellow-robed Taoist standing in front of him, and there was a little solemnity in his pupils.

"But it doesn't matter, the purpose of my trip is just to see how the flower is blooming, and as for this mess, I'd better leave it to you to clean up after yourself. ”

As soon as the words fell, the man in black spoke again, shrugged his shoulders absently, with a little inexplicable look in his eyes, and immediately swept across the messy square, raised his eyebrows, and said with a sneer.

"Boy, let me tell you a secret, the people in your village were actually killed by you. ”

"Haha, we'll see you again in the future. ”

Just after the black-clothed figure swept over the mess, the flickering gaze in his eyes suddenly fixed on Jiang Xiaoqi's body, and his bare pupils were full of smiles. Then, he laughed out loud in Jiang Xiaoqi's staring gaze and said such an unstructured sentence.

"Bang Bang"

After speaking, everyone heard a dull sound from the audience, and then, they saw the figure of the man in black standing on the spot glowing with a touch of golden light, and along with the golden light there was a dull sound. The next moment, the golden light that permeated the field slowly dissipated, and there, there was no trace of the man in black, leaving only his dark sneer echoing in the center of the square.

"Boy, don't listen to that mallet nonsense, the village has already become like that when you go back, how can it be you. ”

At the same time that the figure in black disappeared, the old donkey on the martial arts arena ran over, raised a front hoof and stabbed Jiang Xiaoqi, who looked dazed, and opened his mouth like this, shouting and scolding the disappeared man in black in his words.

"Looking at the posture of the man in black, he seems to have seen me, what does he mean by that?"

In the messy square, Jiang Xiaoqi frowned slightly, looked at the place where the man in black disappeared with a little doubt, and muttered his words, recalling the strange words he had just said in his mouth.

"That guy must have fooled you by killing you, so he ignored him. ”

Listening to Jiang Xiaoqi's murmur like a demon, the old donkey grinned and explained to Jiang Xiaoqi on the side.

Although the old donkey and Jiang Xiaoqi didn't get along for a long time, they also returned to the small mountain village with Jiang Xiaoqi, and judging from the dryness of the bloodstains all over the village, it was obvious that time had passed and not long ago.

"Lu Ming, I understand the pain of losing a child in your heart, and it is understandable that you are eager to seek revenge, but now the situation has been completed, and Lu Yu's death is his own fault, so you and him will stop today. ”

"Of course, if you feel capable of seeking revenge, I have no right to interfere. ”

In the field, the yellow-robed Taoist retracted his gaze at the man in black leaving, and after his eyes were slightly cold, his eyes fell on Lu Ming, who looked embarrassed in front of him, his face was indifferent, and he immediately spoke in a deep voice, telling all kinds of things today.

"But what you did secretly with that person, I can't help but ask, right now, your Lu family has become what it is today, and you don't have to stay in this great wilderness city, in the future, you are not allowed to step into this great wilderness city for half a step, which can be regarded as a punishment for you. ”

As soon as the Taoist spoke, everyone saw Lu Ming, who was kneeling in the field, immediately slumped to the ground, his embarrassed body was like a deflated ball, sitting in a daze, his once gloomy face was filled with dead gray color, Lu Ming knew that he was finished, and their Lu family was also finished.

In fact, he already knew from the moment the city lord appeared, and although his cooperation with the man in black was very secretive, he still couldn't escape the eyes of the city lord. And the words of the city lord undoubtedly pronounced the fate of their Lu family, so that the Lu family was completely planted this time.

"Take matters into your own hands when he leaves the city and send him on his way. ”

Glancing at Lu Ming, who was paralyzed on the ground, the Taoist looked away and turned to look at Zhao Yi in front of everyone outside the arena, and a faint word fell on the latter's ear under the fluctuation of soul power.

Hearing this, he saw Zhao Yi's chin pointed, and gestured to the city lord, and he also stopped paying attention to Lu Ming, who was paralyzed on the ground. Zhao Yi knew very well in his heart that since the city lord knew about the existence of the man in black, he had already doomed the Lu family, after all, the Lu family had already touched the bottom line of the city lord by acting like this in this great wilderness city.

"You come with me. ”

After the explanation was completed, everyone saw the Taoist wave his sleeve robe, and turned slightly sideways to open his mouth to Jiang Xiaoqi on the side, and then, they saw his figure flickering, and walked towards the outside of the landing house in the eyes of everyone.

After groaning slightly, Jiang Xiaoqi did not hesitate and followed with steps. Judging from the current situation, this mysterious city lord should have no hostility towards him, after all, with the latter's strength, it was easy to wipe him out, and there was no need to take a lot of trouble to bring him out of everyone's sight.

As for why the city lord let the man in black leave, Jiang Xiaoqi had already roughly guessed in his heart, as the former said before, there was a behemoth behind the man in black that he couldn't provoke.

It's night

When night fell, the white frost sprinkled by the bright moon was reflected in the huge wilderness city. And above the dark and solid city wall, two figures stood in the breeze, without words, just calmly looking at the noisy streets in the Great Wilderness City, a little distracted.

One of them was Jiang Xiaoqi, at this time he had changed into a neat white dress, and his body had also swept away the blood and dust left by the war, and returned to the calm appearance he once had, and his handsome face looked particularly heroic in the reflection of the moonlight.

And standing beside him was the yellow-robed Taoist he saw during the day, who was also the city lord of this great desolate city. At this time, the Taoist swept away the solemnity of the day, and changed his face instead, and the smile sipping on the corner of his mouth seemed a little kind. It's just that he is wearing an old Taoist robe, which makes people feel a little like a fortune-telling stick.

"Seniors are Taoists?"

Dressed in white and floating in the breeze, Jiang Xiaoqi smiled, looked at the noisy streets under the city wall, smiled and said to the Taoist beside him.

"I didn't expect this to be the first question you asked. ”

Beside Jiang Xiaoqi, a Taoist in an old Taoist robe turned sideways slightly, raised his eyebrows, and his face flashed with a little surprise, and he said with some surprise.

"I've seen Taoist Taoists before, so I'm sensitive to the unique Taoist practice methods. ”

"If my guess is correct, the method practiced by my predecessors must also be derived from Taoism. ”

With a flash of inspiration on his fingertips, Jiang Xiaoqi took out two gourds filled with the smell of wine from the space bracelet, handed one to the Taoist beside him, sipped a smile on his cheeks, and explained after pulling the stopper.

"That's right, the exercises I practice do originate from Taoism, but they are not pure methods. ”

Taking the wine jug handed by Jiang Xiaoqi, the Taoist sniffed lightly, handed Jiang Xiaoqi a very interesting look, and then took a sip of it, and then opened his mouth after admiring, a look of nostalgia appeared on his calm cheeks, and said slowly.

"If Daozi is the same as my current realm, what do my predecessors think I have a chance of winning?"

Picked up the gourd and poured it into his mouth, and then, he saw Jiang Xiaoqi turning sideways, leaning on the dark city wall with his back, a sly smile appeared on his handsome cheeks, and with a little inquiry in his eyes, he said to the Taoist beside him.

"Less than one percent. ”

Hearing Jiang Xiaoqi's abrupt words, the Taoist couldn't help but have a trace of astonishment on his plain face, and then tilted his head slightly, looked at Jiang Xiaoqi's rather serious expression, pursed his lips and smiled, and then spoke.

After speaking, the Taoist glanced at Jiang Xiaoqi's eyes and narrowed slightly, and he stopped talking a little. In fact, the Taoist's words did not end, and there was still the second half of the sentence that he did not confide, because in the hearts of the Taoists at this time, the second half of the sentence did not have much benefit to Jiang Xiaoqi.

"Well, although I know that there is a gap between me and Daozi, you old man don't need to hit me like this. ”

Hearing the words of the Taoist beside him, Jiang Xiaoqi's delicate cheeks were a little embarrassed, and he opened his mouth with a bitter face, and complained after taking a sip of wine.

"I didn't have the bother to hit you, I was just stating a fact. ”

Although this statement is not wrong, among Taoists, if you want to become a Taoist, you have to look at his understanding of the Tao. ”

"And what you are talking about, the contemporary Daozi Daoxun is the most outstanding disciple of Taoism in the past thousands of years, whether it is the understanding of the Tao, or the absolute combat power he has, he has an absolute crushing potential in the talented Taoists. ”

Looking at the resentment on Jiang Xiaoqi's face, the Taoist chuckled, and then spoke again, looking at the bright moon in the sky with deep eyes, and sighed faintly. Although his words were quite plain, Jiang Xiaoqi could still get a glimpse from the words of the Taoist people how powerful the Taoist Daozi of this generation was.

"Dao Xun, what a meaningful name. ”

Listening to the narration of the Taoist beside him, Jiang Xiaoqi nodded from time to time, silently thinking in his heart. Although he had traveled with that Daozi, it was the first time he had heard the name of that Daozi, and after the corners of his mouth twitched, he couldn't help but murmur.

Taoism, in his previous life, was a mysterious existence in his world, no one really understood, and everything he heard and heard was just relayed from the mouths of others. As for the Taoist classics at that time, most of them were the place of self-cultivation, rather than the mystery of this world.

As for the Tao, it is a kind of ethereal existence that is as secretive as deep, and perhaps only a person with great wisdom like Lao Tzu can have insight.

"Do you know what the power in my body is?"

"Is it really the magic power of the demons?"

Withdrawing from the Taoist, Jiang Xiaoqi turned his attention to himself, and after groaning slightly, he opened his mouth and asked the Taoist beside him. During the day, not only the Taoist beside him, but also the many figures present at that time also saw the black flame that permeated his body, even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't, it was better to admit it generously and ask the Taoist beside him for the reason.

"What do you think magic is?"

On the side, Jiang Xiaoqi's words came, falling on the ears of the Taoist. However, the latter did not give a positive answer to this question, but instead cast a deep gaze on Jiang Xiaoqi beside him, with a flat face, and asked rhetorically.

"Domineering, evil, a force that does not belong to this world. ”

After groaning, Jiang Xiaoqi opened his mouth like this, thinking back to the extremely evil power he had seen before. For that kind of power, Jiang Xiaoqi's heart was heavy and afraid. However, it is not so much the fear of that evil power as the race with that evil power, which is more intimidating.

"Well, this is the general perception of magic in our world, and since you can explain it, I think you should have seen that kind of power. ”

"It is true that that evil power is alien to our world and is rejected by the law, but have you ever felt that breath from that power within you?"

After nodding, the Taoist man continued to speak, with a little solemnity flashing under his flat gaze. The first thought that comes to most people's minds about the world's understanding of magic is evil, domineering, and a sinful force.

But this is understandable, after all, the great war 10,000 years ago swept the entire continent, and all the warriors of this world were spared. At the same time, after that great war, the demons also left an indelible trace in the hearts of everyone, that is, a group of evil demons who brutally killed, executioners who only knew how to slaughter.

"If it's not magic, why do I lose consciousness and kill when I use that power?"

Jiang Xiaoqi was also clear in his heart what the Taoist said, but the thought that kept struggling in his heart was the weirdness of that power.

Just today, after the man in black appeared, Jiang Xiaoqi gradually lost consciousness under the black flames, full of killing intent, like a machine that only knows how to kill, and anyone who stands in his way will be torn apart by him.

"There are pros and cons to everything, just remember that you should not use this power until you have to. ”

"Hmm... Also, if you go to Xiling in the future, don't use this power there. ”

"Don't ask why, just remember that there, you have to gather that power in your body. ”

didn't answer Jiang Xiaoqi's question, he saw the Taoist tilt his head slightly, drank the wine jug in his hand, and then saw him drop the city wall and slowly walk away, leaving Jiang Xiaoqi, who was alone in white, standing in place, frowning, and the inexplicable words of the Taoist echoed in his ears.
